With less than a week to go before Democrats in the 4th Con gressional District go to the polls to chose a candidate for the November election, former Hempstead Town Supervisor Laura Gillen has released a poll showing her consid erably ahead of her three opponents in the primary. Those opponents voiced strong doubts about the poll’s accuracy.Gillen said that her poll showed that she leads the field by 37 per centage points and would get 47 per cent of the vote if the election were held today. The poll, she said, showed that her nearest challenger, Nassau County Legislator Carrié Solages, is the choice of 10 percent of voters in the district, which encompasses much of Nassau County’s South Shore, and that Malverne Mayor Keith Corbett has just 5 percent sup port. The poll did not indicate a number for the fourth candidate in the Democratic prima ry, Elmont physician Muzibul Huq. The poll was con ducted for Gillen by Impact Research, a national polling and consulting firm that conducted 244 “random ly sampled” interviews in the 4th C.D. between Aug 2 and Aug. 8, with “likely” primary voters. The sam pling error was 6.3 percent.

According to the poll, Gillen’s favorable rating was 46 percent, and her unfavorable rating, 11 percent. The former, she said, is more than 20 points higher than any other candidate in the race.

The Long Beach City Council voted Tuesday night to allow developer Sinclair Haberman to build two oceanfront apartment buildings as tall as 13½ stories, the final step in a decades-long battle that included lawsuits that threatened the city’s financial future.The council’s vote came after a brief public hearing during which only three people raised questions about increased traffic in the city, and about how many of the units in the buildings would be designated affordable housing.Carrie O’Farrell, a partner at the Melville engineering and architecture firm Nelson Pope, said that a study by the firm con cluded that the Haberman devel opment would not have an adverse impact on the area. O’Farrell added that the number of affordable units would ulti mately depend on how many sto ries the developer decides to build. Haberman can build up to 13½ stories, and if he decides to do so, the buildings would be the tallest in the city.

The Long Island Storm is a travel team made up of players from Long Beach, Oceanside and Rockville Centre 13 years andTheolder.Ripken Baseball Experience was founded by former Baltimore Oriole great Cal Ripken Jr. and according to its web site, it “aims to provide ballplayers with an experience similar to what we had in the Big Leagues. In doing so, we can pro vide players, coaches, and families with the experiences and lifelong memories that will allow them to enjoy and play the game for as long as possible.”
The team says that though they didn’t do any preparation specific to the tourna ment, their regular practice helped them secure the win. “We’re just a well-trained team from our practices for our regular season,” Jake Dyer said. “That’s what made us pre pared and made us like a family and so close.”His teammate Jake Ganulin says though that the team wasn’t always so close but after taking a lesson from anoth er team, they learned the value of team work and camaraderie, which was anoth er key factor that helped them earn the win.“We played another tournament recently and everybody on our team were kind of separated and we weren’t the nic est to each other and it didn’t look like we were a team at all,” Ganulin said. “There was another team there and they were all in the dugout together talking and work ing together as a team and we took a les son from them, I think. In Myrtle Beach, we became very close and were interact ing with each other and giving each other high fives and hanging out in the hotel and I think that’s what brought us our motivation for winning the tournament and gave us excitement and motivation.” Adding to the excitement was the pres tige of the tournament.

late December. The developer had sued the city for $131 million in 1987, after, he said, it did not support his plans to build oceanfront apartments decades ago. He said he had been assured of such support. With penalties for delays in settling the suit, Long Beach was on line to pay Haberman $150 million. In December, the council agreed to pay him $75 million, and to allow him to build the two apartments buildings.Underthe agreement, Haber man is obligated to include some affordable units, and to provide the city with amenities in the area around the buildings, includingHabermanparks.could build in a zone bounded by Monroe and Lincoln Boulevards. In the meantime, Garden City developer Engel Burman has begun construction of 438 apart ments and condominiums in the six-acre waterfront par cel between Long Beach Boulevard and Riverside Boule vard known as the Superblock. The $369 million project will feature 238 rental apart ments in a 10-story building called The Breeze, 200 con dos in two nine-story buildings called Isla Blu and about 6,500 square feet of retail space. The face of Long Beach is certainly changing, resi dent Eileen Hession said during the public hearing .“We have the Superblock, with all the traffic and the cars,” she said. “This could be a little bit scary. I’m a little bit nervous about this.” Another resident, Crystal Lake, asked about afford able units in the Haberman project. O’Farrell said the developer would appear before the City Council to dis cuss how many of those units there might be, depending on how tall the buildings are. The city intends to issue bonds to pay Haberman the $75 million. City officials and representatives of two con sulting firms hired by Long Beach to help negotiate with the developer agreed that some type of tax increase might be needed to construct the necessary infrastruc ture, such as sewers and roads, to support the new apart ment buildings. If 13-story buildings were constructed, they would be the tallest in the city. City Hall is six stories tall. The Allegria Hotel is nine stories. There are two 10-story buildings in town, at 16 and 26 W. Broadway. The three buildings under construction by Engel Burman on the Superblock will be 10 stories on top of a parking lot In 2021, Nassau County Supreme Court Judge Jack Libert ordered Long Beach to pay Haberman $131.2 mil lion for blocking construction of three oceanfront condo buildings over the past three decades. Libert ruled for Haberman based on fair market value when litigation started in 1989. The city was found liable in 2015 for breach of con tract on the property and failing to respond to another lawsuit filed by Haberman in 2003. He sought to build next to the Seapointe Towers apartments, between Mon roe and Lincoln boulevards, and had planned a third building across Shore Road, to replace the Lincoln Shore Apartments. from

Maria Conzatti has two major goals for the next 12 months: To have Nassau Community College “live” the word “community,” and to serve that commu nity through a number of new diverse programs.Appointed last May as NCC’s interim president, Conzatti’s term lasts a year, with the possibility of going longer if a permanent president isn’t found. Striv ing to offer a wider range of courses for Nassau County, Conzatti plans to bring new vocational classes like welding and HVAC — heating, ventilation and air conditioning — to the campus. Conzatti is hardly new to the NCC campus, instrumental in a number of different roles over the past 33 years.

Working at the college was her way of giving back. “I’m a product of the college, I gradu ated from here as a first-generation alum,” Conzatti said. “This place really gave me my start and has offered me a wonderful career.

Managing Expectations
Proper hand hygiene remains as vital as ever. It’s important step in lowering risk of Covid-19 infection, as well as other illnesses. Provide your child with hand sani tizer to bring to school and encourage them to wash or sanitize their hands frequently. In addition, if your child shows any symptoms of Covid-19, such as fever, keep them home from school to prevent the spread of illness.
Often our anxiety is trying to help us solve problems we cannot control. It can be really challenging to try, but mindfulness skills help us accept what we can control. Here are some steps to figure out what you can control.
The start of a new school year is like a fresh box of crayons full of possibilities. Families can take advan tage of this clean slate by establishing some new organizing routines. Think ahead. Mornings are cha otic in most households with schoolaged children. Consider handling as many daytime preparations as possi ble the night before. Lay out clothes. Pack lunches. Set out the breakfast dishes and cereal. Pack backpacks. Make systems kid-friendly, so young helpers can feel involved, and save mom and dad some time in the process. For example, carve out a spot on a lower shelf of the pantry for lunch boxes and lunch-making supplies. Then make children respon sible for putting away their empty lunch boxes at the end of the school day, or even packing their own lunch. Tackle school paperwork. Make a habit of sorting through children’s backpacks with them the same day they come home. Allot time after school, when you arrive home from work, or after dinner, depending on your family’s schedule. Use a tiered letter sorter or filing system with des ignated slots for each child’s papers, and an “A.S.A.P.” space for teachers’ notes, permission slips and anything else that requires immediate atten tion, that’s not handled through your school portal. For schoolwork and artwork you want to keep, try a two-step approach. First, purge unwanted items as soon as they come in the door. Collect the possible keepers in a storage bin or wheeled cart with col or-coded drawers that allow for easy separation by child or project type. Go through stored items at regular inter vals, perhaps once a month or once a quarter. Keep in mind, the more you accumulate, the easier it will be to pare down, as the best pieces will stand out from the crowd. Designate a homework spot. Decide on the best spot in your home to set up homework central. That could be the location your child became accustomed to doing school work and studying during the early days of the pandemic, when class was virtual. Or maybe a different set-up is preferred at this point. Take into con sideration how involved you need to be with homework and your child’s style. Does he focus better with peo ple around or in a private setting? Is he better suited to sit at a desk or curled up in a favorite chair with a laptop cart? Once you have a place picked out, gather together handy homework tools and supplies into a nearby bin, drawer or cabinet. Stock up on ageappropriate supplies such as pens, pencils, erasers, paper, crayons, mark ers, a ruler, dictionary, calculator and a pencil sharpener. Create a communication hub. Include the family calendar, a chalk or bulletin board for posting messages and reminders, a binder for key docu ments, colored markers, pens and pencils. If you’re a visual person, con sider color coding your calendar by assigning each family member a dif ferent color. Remember not to forget. Use wall hooks and baskets or bins near the front door to corral the items you need to remember each day: back packs, books, lunches, gym shoes, sports equipment and musical instru ments. Above photo: Back to school is an oppor tunity to reorganize your family routines.
S tudents return to the classroom after summer break energized and ready to embark on another school year. Or they? While families have seemingly settled into the ‘new normal’ vacation ing, socializing, etc, have returned to the daily rhythms of our lives for the most part, it’s important to remember that Covid-19 is still spreading. That pesky BA.5 subvariant is seemingly everywhere right now and may be ready to join students in the classroom. As you prepare for and start the 2022-2023 school year, continue to take steps to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Taking all precautions available will provide the most protection to children and the community and help students have a safe and healthy school year. That starts with vaccination. Medical practiitioners and epidemiologists strongly urge all family members to add the Covid vaccine to their immunization schedule. Everyone ages 6 months and older now is eligible to get vaccinated for Covid-19. Covid-19 vaccines are safe and highly effective at preventing serious illness. In addition, individuals ages 5 and older are eligible to get a Covid-19 booster shot. Staying up to date on your vaccines is the best way to reduce the spread of Covid. If your child is eligible, schedule their Covid booster before school begins. Other Safety Precautions
Think Through Your New Schedule As A Family Which extracurricular activities will you resume again? Have your child’s needs/interests changed? Also, make a plan for your updated child care needs and com municate them with caregivers in advance.
Anticipate Your Child’s Concerns Children do best when they know what to expect, so it’s important to take the time to answer their questions and talk to them about their back-to-school experience. Especially in that first week, excitement may be tem pered with unease. Be sure all medical records are updated and they understand and are prepared for what school safety protocols may be. Gather school supplies and send them off with some special supplies that will excite them. Be prepared for your child’s emotions to fluctuate over the final weeks of summer and into the beginning of the school year. The first week of school is always exhaust ing, but while we’re all ready for life to full return to “nor mal,” we’re not quite there yet. If your child is struggling to adjust to school or show ing signs of excessive worry (acting out, withdrawing, irritability), it may be time to consider professional help. Or at the very least, contact the school counselor or social worker.
Navigating the post-Covid environment Above photo: Everyone’s situations are similar yet different all at the same time. Equip your kids with situational knowledge they need to be healthy — both physically and emotionally — and remain flexible.

Start Planning Now For Back-To-School If You Haven’t Already The more time you give yourself to figure things out, the less likely you are to feel stressed those days before school starts. If you haven’t been informed already, reach out to your school’s administration to determine what their policies will be in the fall.
Organize for success Strategies that make the grade
Even for those students who genuinely love school and are eager to see their friends and start up their school year activities, some initial anxiety and nervousness may impact their return again this year. The last school was often interrupted by Covid outbreaks that meant a peri odic return to virtual learning in some cases, and, often a general sense of unease.

“‘Ella, First Lady of Song’ reminds us that wearing a crown of admiration such as hers does not deem one immune to loneliness, racism, envy, hate, or even body shaming. Lastly, our story stars the legendary recording artist, Freda Payne, who is one of a vanishing breed of singers who possess the musicality and talent to deliver the song stylings of the great Ella inin-personvenues.performingIonIold,”theEllatheFitzgerald.”“IadmiredsingingstyleofFitzgeraldfromtimeIwas12yearssaysPayne,“andlistenedtohersingingtheradio,andthenstartedhearingherinotherIsawheronceinanightclubNewYork.Thiswas
around 1969. I was speechless when I met her. I occasionally would be told that when I sing jazz tunes, I did sound a little bit like Ella, and my scatting was just beginning to develop. The day I got the Los Angeles Times, June 16, 1996, the front page (was) memorializing Ella Fitzgerald. It was that very morning I decided I was going to portray Ella and continue to bring her legacy forth through my presence and my interpretation of her. My favorite Ella song is ‘Mr. Paganini.’ The real title is ‘If you can’t sing it, you’ll have to swing it.’”
inger and actress Freda Payne, best known for her 1970 smash hit “Band of Gold,” will channel jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, “The First Lady of Song,” in a much-anticipated production of the same name at the Madison Theatre, at Molloy University, starting this weekend, and running through Sept. 11. The show was conceived by Maurice Hines and also stars Harriett D. Foy, Debra Walton and DannyTheAdams.songlist includes a plethora of Fitzgerald’s hits, among them “A-tisket, A-tasket” and “Sweet Georgia Brown.” It also features selections from songwriters Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, and Rodgers and “Ella,Hart.

Ms. Fitzgerald also sang the most definitive recordings of the American Songbook. Ella accomplished all, while living under the terrorism of the Jim Crow era and the rage of the civil rights movement. Even though her close friends included the iconic Marilyn Monroe, Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra and other wealthy celebrities, our story humanizes Ella for a new generation.”

Driving into downtown Manhattan in the near future could cost more than $20 for cars, and four times that for trucks. And that’s after factoring in gas. With congestion pricing — a plan intended to reduce vehicle dependence on the crowded streets of New York City ready to become a reality, one of the agencies expected to directly benefit — the Metropolitan Transportation Authori ty — has shared what it thinks vehicles should pay for the privilege of driving instead of riding. That’s $23 for cars and $82 for trucks, with such tolls also applying to deliveries, taxis and ride-hail vehicles like Uber and Lyft.There are many not too happy about the plan, especially Nassau County Republican legislators Steve Rhoads and John Ferretti, who joined Oyster Bay tax receiver Jeffrey Pravato in front of the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legis lative Building in Mineola to express that displeasure.It’s“simply another tax on hardwork ing residents of suburbia,” said Rhoads, who represents Wantagh, Seaford, Bell more, Merrick and Freeport. “Eighty-five percent of residents that commute on a daily basis into New York City already commute using mass transit, This is sim ply another way to control your behavior, using the power to tax and take another billion dollars away from the residents of suburbia into the pocket to cover the fis cal mismanagement of the MTA.” John Ferretti, whose district repre sents parts of East Meadow, Wantagh and Seaford, said the state measure’s goal of fighting traffic congestion is a good one, but that Albany is taking the wrong path. People are not taking the Long Island Rail Road because of rising ticket costs, he said, and blamed bail reform as a reason many don’t feel safe taking public transit. “Who wants to take the Long Island Rail Road when you might get pushed in front of the train you’re trying to get on?” Ferretti asked. But not everyone agrees with the law makers. State Sen. John Brooks, a Demo crat who faces Rhoads for a newly drawn senate seat in November, argued Rhoads and Perretti grossly misunderstand how things work in Albany. “No one voted solely on the question of congestion pricing,” Brooks said. “We voted on the budget as a whole. Your vote is either ‘yes’ for everything, or ‘no’ for everything.”Ifthelegislators want to attack him over congestion pricing, Brooks added, then they also owe him credit for millions of dollars in state aid and infrastructure repair, since those were also part of the state budget he voted for in 2019. Brooks dismissed Rhoads’ congestion price rhetoric as simply campaign rheto ric.“If Steve wants to talk about raising taxes on residents, let’s talk about the county housing assessments,” he said. “Nassau’s housing assessment has been frozen for 13 years because of the county legislature.”ButRhoads feels state officials are doing everything they can to try and keep opposition down, even holding public hearings on the MTA’s toll proposal in August, when many are on vacation. “It’s a further idea of what their actual thoughts on transparency are in this pro cess,” he said. As far as state lawmakers like John Brooks?“They’re the ones that voted for this,” Rhoads said. “And they are the ones that still have the power to be able to stop it.”

Daniel Offner/Herald photos ThE BuILDINg AT 500 HighwaySunrisehas been the home of Leonardo Home Furniture for the past two decades. ThERE Is ANOThER self-storage facility on the same block, and another is expected to be built on North Long Beach Road.
18 By DANIEL OFFNER doffner@liherald.com Another self-storage company has been proposed for Rockville Centre. Nuvo Development LLC, an Orlando, Florida-based real estate development firm, is looking to construct a storage facil ity at 500 Sunrise Highway, which current ly houses Leonardo Home Furniture. Nuvo Development was founded in 2014, with the goal of creating new designs and finding new locations for self-storage facili ties. It is seeking a variance for a building that would be 45 feet tall — 9 feet higher than the 36 feet now permitted by village code in the Business A District — and would not have a required green buffer space.Village Building Superintendent Pat rick O’Brien said the proposal includes demolishing Leonardo Home Furniture and the adjacent Swim Stars storefront to build the facility. “If they don’t get approved by the coun ty, they have the ability to get out of the process,” O’Brien said, explaining that the sale of the property had not been finalized as of press time. The Village Board of Zoning Appeals was set to discuss the proposal at its Aug. 3 meeting, but board Chairman Rob Sche none said the case could not be heard, because the Nassau County Planning Com mission had not yet met to discuss it, and the BZA postponed considering the pro posal to its meeting on Aug. 31. This is the second time this year that a proposal for a new storage facility has come before the zoning board. Just across Sunrise Highway, at 117 N. Long Beach Road, WMG Rockville Owner LLC, an affil iate of the Florida-based Miami City Self Storage Development and Investment firm, purchased a 52,811-square-foot indus trial building for $5.5 million, with plans to develop a facility on the site. “In 2017, the mayor and board of trust ees amended the zoning map to reclassify the Long Beach corridor to Business A-1 District in order to protect the abutting residents,” village spokeswoman Julie Grilli said in a statement. “The Board of Zoning Appeals reviews applications that propose to utilize property in a manner not consistent with municipal zoning laws.”WMG Rockville Owner faced backlash from the community, which protested in May. Vineet Khosla, who said he has lived in the village for over three decades, was among those who voiced his opposition to the plan for North Long Beach Road. “I was opposed to the project because I live on Powell Avenue, and I’m seeing that sometimes they give the OK to projects that are absolutely ridiculous,” Khosla told The Herald in May. “We have too many commercial buildings in our town, and we’re going to put a whole other commer cial building there. It’s a family-oriented street, in front of our recreation center. If you put up a full commercial enterprise, I don’t think anybody in town is going to like it, which is probably why it failed.” WMG Rockville Owner requested a variance for a building height of 30 feet — 18 feet above what’s allowed by village code in the Business A-1 district — and reduced parking requirements. Several residents criticized the variance request in a Face book campaign to “Save Little Town.” The zoning board ultimately voted down the variance, in a 3-2 decision. According to O’Brien, WMG Rockville Owner has since scaled down its proposal and has resubmitted it to the village. Since Sunrise Highway is part of the village’s main commercial corridor, there doesn’t appear to be as much opposition to the plans for another storage facility, next to the Flour Shoppe Cafe.

Another storage facility for Sunrise Hwy.
If Nuvo Development’s plans are approved by both the village and Nassau County, its storage facility would be the second one on the same block of Sunrise Highway, between North Kensington and Montauk avenues, across from the village basketballLeonardocourts.Home Furniture operated at 500 Sunrise Highway for 24 years. It is now an empty storefront littered with large signs reading, “Everything Must Go,” with another sign posted at the front entrance informing customers that the outlet has relocated to Old Country Road in West bury. Its flagship store is in the Bronx. Swim Stars, formerly Swim and Scuba, has been a premier water sports training center for over 30 years. After closing amid the pandemic in 2020, the storefront changed ownership and currently remains open.According to its website,, Swim Stars is a local family-owned business primarily focused on providing swimming lessons. It also offers IPAP classes, water aerobics, aquatic pole exercise classes, and chil dren’s swim parties. It also rents out its pool for scuba and Red Cross training pro grams.Calls to surrounding businesses and to Nuvo Development had not been returned at press time.

Brown water from a shower
HERALDBEACHLONG—202218,August 22 H4 08/18
Q. We noticed that our water is brown from our showerhead, but only the hot water. It seemed like a simple issue, since our water heater is 30 years old and probably needs replacing. We checked different faucets and another bathroom, and there the water runs clear sometimes and brown sometimes, like every few months or several months. That made the whole thing more confusing. Can you explain why this is happening, what causes this and what we should do? A. Sounds like a murky question, filled with mystery. Your hot water supply system is generally made up of metal piping, and can, over time, corrode. First, don’t drink the water, even though you may assume it’s caused only by iron deposits, either from a galvanized pipe that is leaching or from the rod in your hot water tank that is corrod ing. Run your hot water. See if it continually comes out brownish. If it doesn’t, it may be an out side source, such as periodic flushing of water lines by your water supplier. Work done on your street may also cause temporary interruption, and the water can be temporarily brackish. Flushing will dilute the rust, and the water can then become clearer. Sometimes the problem is bacteria, but in a public water system, where you live, this is much lessYoulikely.mentioned that you know the water heater is old, and it is. Thirty years is considered a long time for a hot water tank, but with regular mainte nance, a tank can last that long. I typically hear that with proper annual flushing of the tank, where you either attach a hose, fill deep buckets from the valve and pour the water out elsewhere or have it serviced by your plumber, a hot water tank can last thatMostlong.people, however, naively assume that everything in the house lasts forever, and “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” This simply leads to an emer gency situation when corrosion points to the anode rod, which will have nearly completely deteriorat ed. The anode rod in your hot water tank is there to attract sediment through electrolytic action, the normal occurrence of positive and negative elec trons, so that the rod will deteriorate instead of the inside walls of the tank. Based on what you have described, you need a service call from a licensed professional plumber who can analyze the situation fairly quickly and not necessarily just replace the hot water tank, even though I anticipate that this is where you’re headed. The only other problem you may have is old, galvanized piping, as I mentioned, and replac ing piping, after tracing it inside the walls, will probably be the most expensive process, since walls and floors will need to be opened, pipes sawn out and replaced, and the walls and floors repaired, which often leads to larger projects, like redoing rooms and seriously costly domino-effect renova tion. Good luck!

Covid-19’s impact on education could be long-lasting W hile much media coverage of the coronavirus pandem ic has focused on its impact on the global economy, which was serious, there is a potentially more insidious long-term consequence: the educational impact on a generation of American children, and especially Black, Latinx and Native American stu dents. Covid-19 has taken a toll on both their learn ing and mental releasedhealth.Arecentlystudy by the rebounding”“academicdemonstrablesigns.someciationEvaluationNorthwestAssofoundhopefulTherewasdur ing the 2021-22 school year in reading and math, particularly among younger stu dents. Measuring average performance, however, hides the fact that younger Black, Latinx and Native American chil dren did not do as well as their white and Asian-American peers. A major reason for the learning decline and larger racial gap appears to be extended remote learning during the pandemic. Low-income students and those three non-white groups were already scoring behind white and Asian students because of disparities that begin early in childhood, and the pan demic exacerbated those learning gaps. During the pandemic, in higher-pover ty schools with larger minority populations, stu dents tended to spend more time learning at home, in front of computer screens, and as a result they lost the equivalent of 22 weeks of instruction.Demographic differences in student performance are most noticeable in the ele mentary school grades, which suggests that as these children grow older, the larger learning gap will extend into middle school and high school. It could take three to five years for all children to reach earlier performance levels if they receive needed supported, but emergency federal Covid allocations expire long before then. School districts are required to spend the last of their coronavirus funds by September 2024.

25 202218,August—HERALDBEACHLONG opinions
According to a report by McKinsey & Company, a management consulting firm, on the global impact of Covid on education, lower levels of learning trans late into lower future earnings. As of January 2022, over 25 percent of the world’s students attended school systems that were still not fully open. The most affected regions were Latin America, the Caribbean and South Asia. In the Unit ed States, students in majority-Black schools were found to be six months behind in mathe matics and reading at the start of the 2021-22 school year, while students in pri marily white schools were only two months behind. McKinsey estimates that by 2040, the economic impact of Covid-related learning disadvantage could translate to losses of $1.6 trillion worldwide annually. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on mental health concerns among U.S. high school stu dents during the pandemic. Over a third of high school students — 37 percent — reported that they experienced poor mental health. Some 44 percent reported that they persistently felt sad or hope less, and 55 percent reported that they had experienced emotional abuse from a parent or other adult in the home, includ ing being sworn at, insulted or put down. Eleven percent of high school students reported that they had suffered physical abuse as well. The CDC report did not differentiate based on race and ethnicity, but McKinsey found that parents of Black and Latinx students reported high er rates of concern about the mental health of their children. While Senate Democrats are celebrat ing the current version of their budget reconciliation bill as a major victory, it does not include the $400 billion for early education in the original Build Back Bet ter proposal, which would have created vitally needed universal child care and pre-kindergarten. The education propos al was approved in the House version of the bill, but blocked in the Senate by Republican opposition and conservative Democrats.

National Senior Citizens Day on Aug. 21 RAnDi
W e need a National Village Elder, someone whose sole mission it is to advocate for Americans older than 65. I know we have President Biden, and he is a role model for fitness, public service and vigor as he heads toward his 80th birthday.Still,we need someone whose responsibilityonly is the legal, emotion al, financial and health support of people over 65. As of the 2019 census, there were 54.1 million of us. The numbers are grow ing, and the issues of senior health care, financial sta bility and aging at home are growing, too. Do you know who Xavier Becerra is and what he does? Becerra heads the U.S. Department of Health and Human Servic es. If you read the department’s website, you might think that it offers immediate services for older people looking for hous ing or medication or companionship or transportation, but as a government agen cy, the department is neither nimble nor swift in its outreach to seniors. We need one high-level person whose mission it is to help our citizens have a healthy and safe way of life in older age. Other countries do a much better job of caring for seniors, keeping them within the mainstream of life and providing increasing care as it’s needed. In Japan, for example, priority service is always available for older people, whether at the food market, the bus station or the medical clinic. In Den mark, multi-generational day care is available, keep ing the aging population in contact with babies and tod dlers.We need to have one gov ernment official who thinks only about how to better serve older Americans. If you’re reading this, you are either already in the older group, or will be. If our aging population is better cared for, there will be more opportunity for younger adults to live a life unburdened by the isolation and expense of caring for their parents with out help or Historically,relief.we have failed our seniors. During the raging days of Covid-19 infec tion and death, it became obvious to me that the rules of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the guidance from the White House were generalized advice, not especially helpful for older people. I wrote then and I still believe that older people were not sufficiently protect ed during those very dark days. We were more vulnerable, more like ly to have serious Covid, more likely to die. Those of us over 65 comprise 16 per cent of the population, but 80 percent of Covid deaths. Today, deaths are drop ping in the U.S. but accord ing to WebMD, “one fact has not changed in two-plus years of the pandemic: The elderly are still most at risk of dying from the virus.” Some of that is unavoidable, since older people often have other illnesses that make them more vulnerable; however, it stands as a national shame that Covid infection burned through nursing home and senior facilities, killing tens of thou sands of people who might have been kept safe with more evolved medical protocols, specific to older people. What we seniors do have is AARP, a powerful nonpartisan advocate for people over 50. For $9 a year, the organization offers education, discounts, travel benefits and specific guidance for older Ameri cans who want to live the last 30 or 40 years of their lives feeling healthy and fulfilled.AsIwrite this, the AARP website is offering a big thank-you to Congress, which just passed Biden’s Inflation Reduc tion Act of 2022. The organization posted, “Millions of Americans 50-plus are one step closer to real relief from out-of-con trol prescription drug prices.” AARP CEO Jo Ann Jenkins said the group has been working for nearly 20 years to allow Medi care to negotiate the price it pays for med ications. Now, because of the new bill, Medicare can fight for better drug prices, including a $35-a-month cap on insulin. That, as Biden might say, is a very big deal.AARP is a dynamic and popular advo cate, but a National Village Elder could bring additional attention and focus to the needs of our older citizens. If Biden weren’t busy being president, he’d be a terrific choice. He is relentless in his pur suit of solutions to problems we Ameri cans care about. He is empathic and sensi tive. He does not give up. He is old school, and that works when it comes to commu nicating with an aging population. If he decides not to run for a second term, perhaps Biden will consider the Vil lage Elder gig.

letters Your joke fell fat, Gov. Kathy Hochul To the BasedEditor:on Gov. Kathy Hochul’s recent comments in addressing peo ple of the Jewish faith — she encouraged them to stay in New York, and added jokingly that Flori da was overrated — is she just insulting, or ignorant? You have to ask, why wouldn’t people of all religions, and political affiliations, look to leave New York state?Some friends who have relocated to Florida recently have seen their net income increase from 15 percent to more than 25 percent. Why wouldn’t people want to have more money in their pockets? I forgot: They wouldn’t be sup porting supposedly corrupt politi cians and unfair laws.

Hurricane season officially start ed June 1, but for those of us enjoying life on Long Island and in the Northeast, our storm sea son starts just about … now. Of the 19 hurricanes that have made their way here since 1991, all but six have visited us in August or later. In fact, Hur ricane Sandy — the storm we’re still talk ing about a decade later — didn’t ravage our homes and businesses until Hallow eenOfweekend.course, we think of tropical storms and hurricanes as a problem for warmer climates. And for the most part, that’s true. There have been 453 named storms on the Atlantic Ocean side of the world over the past 30 years — an average of 15 per year. But Long Island can expect to see a named storm every year and a half. With five named storms finding their way here since 2020 — including Henri and Ida last year — the law of averages would suggest a rather long respite. But with global warming intensifying weath er patterns, we can only expect the num ber of storms we’ll face this year and beyond to grow. And we need to be ready. The National Weather Service sug gests making preparations now, and not waiting for a storm to show up on our doorstep. First, know your evacuation zone. Long Island is considered “Zone 1” in New York. It’s part of an overall area that is most likely to flood, and is typically one of the first areas to be evacuated. Just about all of Long Island is in Zone 1, along with other coastal and low-lying parts of the greater New York City region, including a good portion of east ern Queens and Brooklyn, lower Manhat tan, all of Staten Island, and the eastern parts of the Bronx. Next, put together an emergency kit. This should include everything from the absolute essentials, like water and food, to first aid kits, flashlights, manual can openers, maps and extra batteries. Then, sit down with your family and write an emergency plan. Include any close friends and neighbors who might need help in the event of an emergency, and create a list of whom you should con tact if you do have to abandon your home. Know where you’re going and what you’ll do. You’ll want to keep a copy of the plan in a safe place — near your emergency kit — so you can access it in a hurry. These are all steps you’ve been reminded of time and again, so much you might be tired of hearing it. But when a storm does come and you have to leave in a hurry, you’ll be glad you put all thisAndtogether.thereis more you can do before we even have to worry about a storm. Like reviewing the insurance policies for your home, vehicles and property. Make sure you have adequate coverage not just for winds, but also for flooding. Even if you’ve never flooded before — storms have a way of making the impossible pos sible.Ifyou’re not sure what the difference is between a tropical storm and a hurri cane, or a watch and a warning, take the time to learn. Any type of alert is seri ous, but some threats are more imminent than others. You can find out more about all of this at Weather.gov. And one agency many of us have depended on in past storms has been the Long Island chapter of the American Red Cross, which serves more than 2.8 million people across Nas sau and Suffolk counties. The Red Cross has many suggestions on how to prepare for a major storm, which you can find at ferencebeingthanButwood,beenlasttinyurl.com/RedCrossEmergency.TwelveAmericansdiedinhurricanesyear,andanaverageof45liveshavelosteachyearsince1991.Knockon2022couldbeaquietstormseason.it’sbettertobepreparedfornothingnotbepreparedforsomething.Andpreparedcouldverywellbethedifbetweenlifeanddeath.

tent and real estate taxes are very low. Meanwhile, New York has enacted bail reform reforms, which in effect gives criminals more rights than normal tax payers.Crime is a revolving door — commit a crime in the morning and be released the same day to possibly commit another crime, which is ridiculous. Hochul has attempted to blame the judicial system, but many judges have stated that they’re just following the law. When you look at New York City, or state, it reminds you of Dodge City, with crime extremely high all over. Yet the crime rate in Florida in declining. Who wouldn’t want to feel safe walking the streets or shopping malls, and able to lead to a safe and peaceful life? That’s what people want — not the lawlessness and total negativity that’s associated with living in New York. That’s one of the reasons I recently bought a home in Florida.
though our answers often come in shades of gray.When I first heard about the Supreme Court’s monumental decision, I hoped I’d have a passionate stance. But I found myself not fully agreeing with either side, even though the ruling will have the greatest impact on my generation. As a 14-year-old who can barely balance home work and school assignments with tak ing care of my brothers before my par ents get home, I can’t imagine what it would be like to be pregnant at this age, let alone be forced to carry the baby and raise a child. I am growing up in an era when I will have fewer rights than my mother. On the other hand, however, I don’t have enough knowl edge to make an informed judgment on whether a fetus should be considered a person, and whether the overturning of Roe v. Wade will, as some claim, end the “genocide” of unborn lives. To me, that is a matter left to science and philoso phy, as they explore the boundaries of the age-old question, what does it mean to be alive? Perhaps we should therefore stop expecting such a complex topic to fit into a simple political mold and acknowledge that the so-called middle ground isn’t given enough attention, despite the fact that it is where many of us lie. According to Dobbs v. Jackson, the case in which the court made its ruling, the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was based on an interpretation of the 14th Amendment that abortion is not “deeply rooted in our country’s history” and is therefore not a right guaranteed by the Constitution.Thisrigidinterpretation leaves no room for the fluid and ever-changing def inition of “life.” Technolog ical advancements in recent decades have changed the definition of a viable fetus and have led to constantly fluctuating opin ions. Unfortunately, it seems that our country has lost its focus. By analyzing the scientific concept of life through a judicial lens, the court makes the question of abortion a matter of the Constitution, when it should be a question of life itself that is best left for science to answer.Iam reminded of Carl Zimmer’s “Life’s Edge: The Search for What It Means to Be Alive,” a book I read for an English assignment this past school year. According to the book’s depiction of abortion, scientists make a logic-based argument of a fetus’s biological function ality and ability to survive independent ly, while judges, more philosophically, question consciousness and humanity. Neither side, however, has a certain defi nition, because when life begins is not a concept that can be decided with abso luteAccordingcertainty.to Zimmer, an initially fer tilized egg, a zygote, is merely a cell, and no bigger than the thousands of biologi cally “living” human cells that unnotice ably shed and “die” every day. In society there is a clear distinction between dying cells and dying fetuses, but not always in science. If life can evade the iron defini tions in science and law and challenge our societal certainties, why has the court attempted to define it with such strict legal boundaries? The Supreme Court has taken a onesided stance on a complex topic. I have yet to form a strong opinion on whether abortion is moral, but I know that I am not the only person who feels “gray” on a topic that has become so black and white (or, more accurately, red and blue). And one thing is clear to me: If scientists, pol iticians, and millions of others with “gray” opinions can’t decide whether or not abortion is morally correct, the Supreme Court should not infringe on my personal right to make that choice. Ilana Greenberg will be a sophomore at North Shore Hebrew Academy High School in Great Neck.

RICHARD GRAvES Valley Stream Are cooling centers open long enough? To the DuringEditor:the many hot summer days, Nassau County opens up cooling centers to help residents escape excessive heat. Many seniors and others are frequent vis itors to their local libraries. But in too many cases, they don’t open until noon, and close by 6 p.m. or are closed on week ends.Surely a few dollars can be found for extending library hours. Why not have all libraries open seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the summer? Seniors, retirees, students and others would be appreciative. Elected officials who find the funding are welcome to have their local library post a sign by the entrance saying that “our longer hours are thanks to funding provided by your local council member.”
