Village honors first responders Police chief, EMT named People of the Year By MIKE SMOLLINS msmollins@liherald.com

Lynbrook Police Chief Brian Paladino and longtime Lynbrook firefighter Cathy Bien were named Man and Woman of the Year for 2021 at last month’s Lynbrook village board meeting. “They’re both perfect recipients and dedicated village residents,” Mayor Alan Beach said, “and it’s an honor to have them in our village.”

Residents select nominees for the Man and Woman of the Year, which Beach said is finalized by a committee comprising village officials and employees. Paladino was named chief on Nov. 30, 2018, and has implemented many new measures since then. He has, for example, increased the frequency with which officers visit schools and houses of worship, and meet with residents in their neighborhoods. He took the reins as chief

from Joseph Neve, who retired in November 2018 after 27 years on the job. Paladino made the department paperless by using roll call software to communicate with o f f i c e r s d i g i t a l ly, a n d h e increased the use of data analysis to understand better where and how to deploy officers.

Atria Lynbrook resident Singe Ralph turned 105 on Dec. 23. Ralph, of Finnish descent, was born Singe Wiberg on Dec. 23, 1916, in the Bronx. Her father was in the Merchant Marines. At 2, Ralphs’s mother died from the Spanish flu. She was then adopted by another Finnish family in the neighborhood, where she became Singe Dahlstrom. Ralph then moved to Staten Island until she was 8 and came back to the Bronx. Her adopted family wasn’t rich, but provided a good life for her. She enjoyed playing in the streets with her friends, going to neighborhood carnivals and playing all sorts of games. Ralph attended night school to achieve her high school diploma, since she would help her mom during the day. She was an early child, but very close with her cousin, Irma, growing up. She met her future husband, William Ralph, through a friend on a blind date. They wed at the Justice of the Peace on June 26, 1936. The couple moved to Whitestone, Queens, in 1955 and lived half a block away from Irma. They were married for 78 years before William died at 101 on Independence Day, July 4, 2014. Ralph and her cousin spoke Finnish fluently to the dismay of their children, as none of them understood what they were saying. Singe and William had a daughter, Susan, and son, William Jr. She has four grandchildren, Michael, James, Kristin and Amy, and two great-grandchildren, Kelly and Alex. Signe has lived through two pandemics, two World Wars and much more. Throughout her life, she has shown an ability to display strength and overcome adversity. She is truly remarkable. Her secret to longevity is to drink lots of coffee, read books and newspapers and be happy with what she has and to not regret anything. Realize you can’t control everything. Work hard and be happy.

HERE’S HOW SAYING “I DO” CAN AFFECT A COUPLE’S TAX SITUATION Marriage changes many things and taxes is one of them. Newlyweds should know how tying the knot can affect their tax situation. Here’s a tax checklist for newly married couples:

H

516 CARCAS

Name and address changes Name: when a name changes through marriage, it is important to report that change to the Social Security Administration. The name on a person’s tax return must match what is on file at the SSA. If it doesn’t, it could delay any tax refund. To update information, taxpayers should file Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card. It is available on SSA.gov, by calling (800) 772-1213 or at a local SSA office.

Filing status Married people can choose to file their federal income taxes jointly or separately each year. While filing jointly is usually more beneficial, it’s best to figure the tax both ways to fmd out which works best. Remember, if a couple is married as of December 31, the law says they’re married for the whole year for tax purposes.

Elks support veterans, give back to community

LYNBROOK/EAST ROCKAWAY HERALD — January 6, 2022

New York Elks Lodge No. 1 in Lynbrook was very busy during the holiday season, supporting veterans and others in need. The Southeast District’s annual veterans gift wrapping event recently took place at the lodge, and surrounding lodges took part. In all, 12 lodges participated and wrapped 143 gifts, which included clothing, goodies, books, calendars and cards, which were purchased through $3,900 in donations collected by the Veterans Committee. Exalted Ruler Lisa Moldovon and the officers and members of No. 1 also got together to donate socks for veterans and soldiers. The lodge collected 35 pounds of socks and shipped them to Warm Feet Warriors, which helps provide footwear to veterans in need. Lodge members Jennifer Stillman and Mathias Sheck also got in the spirit. When they go away on different vacations, they usually like to donate school supplies to the various locations they visit. On a recent trip to Aruba, they donated supplies to students there. They received an overwhelming thanks from people at the Barcelo Resort they stayed at for their honeymoon.

RESIDENTS CAN WATCH the loud spectacle of their Christmas trees being ground up for mulch at Baldwin Park.

Hempstead goes green at Mulchfest By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

The second annual Town of Hempstead Mulchfest is allowing environmentalists, gardeners and other townsfolk to chip in and recycle their Christmas trees in exchange for bags of mulch at Baldwin Park on Grand Avenue. Started by Supervisor Don Clavin last year, the program is run by the town’s parks department and the sanitation department, which this year is collecting plastic and cardboard recyclables at two exchanges. At the first one recently, the loud whirr of an industrial woodchipper could be heard every few minutes as residents pulled in with their seasonal trees on their car roofs for drop-off. Firs, spruces and pines were tossed efficiently by parks workers into the machine, which ground them up, giving off a fresh, sappy tree aroma. Parks Department Regional Supervisors Chris Maloney and Terence Murray reflected on their experience at Mulchfest last year by telling a story of one Levittown woman who called the town hotline after the event and requested mulch to plant her prize-winning tomatoes in the spring. “We brought over about 30 bags of recycled mulch [to her home], and she let it dry from January to the spring and sprinkled it throughout her garden,” Murray said. The woman was so thankful that she asked the workers to return over the summer so she could gift them some of her award-winning tomatoes. It was a wonderful “full-circle moment” for the workers, Murray said, noting they enjoyed the refreshing taste of the tomatoes in the heat working outside. Nutritionists agree that people who grow their own food at home can benefit

TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD Parks Department Regional Supervisors Chris Maloney and Terence Murray encouraged town residents to attend the last day of Mulchfest at Baldwin Park on Grand Avenue from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Jan. 8. in numerous ways. The food tends to be more nutritious and allows for a more diverse and healthier diet, as the food is packed with vitamins, minerals and anti-

oxidants. Gardening is also a rewarding way to stay active and be exposed to vitamin D from time in the sun, especially if Covid concerns keep you at home.

Applying the mulch, which is free for any Hempstead resident to pick up at Baldwin Park (follow the signs), can be a cost-saving way to beautify and prepare upcoming gardens for planting, said Murray, who is involved in tree plantings at Baldwin Park. “We have beautiful soil” for growing on Long Island, he added, recalling the days, 60 and 70 years ago, when potato farms occupied much of Nassau County. Maloney agreed how “there is nothing better than putting back into the community” and how full-circle the “whole cycle” of planting and giving back can be. Last year, an estimated 130 trees were turned into mulch and returned to the public. So far this year, about 75 trees have been ground up, with one more day, Jan. 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., when town residents can trade in their trees for mulch. Maloney showed enthusiasm about putting the “as-natural-as-natural-gets” chips back into Baldwin Park for local residents to enjoy. “Last year’s success has inspired us to bring Mulchfest back to the Town of Hempstead for a fun and environmentally friendly way to repurpose Christmas trees . . . ” Supervisor Clavin said. “The Town of Hempstead proudly stands for greener and environmentally friendly programs.” In addition to Mulchfest, the Town of Hempstead hosts S.T.O.P. (Stop Throwing Out Pollutants) and E-Cycle (electronic recycling) events throughout the year to help promote the safe disposal of materials that could be hazardous to the environment and the waste stream. The full 2022 S.T.O.P. and E-Cycle schedule will be announced on the town website, hempsteadny.gov, soon.

The Lynbrook Police Department recently received a $125,000 grant to purchase three new patrol cars for the village. The cars will be put into service by the Patrol Division of the LPD. Lynbrook Mayor Alan Beach said he was grateful to State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a Democrat from Long Beach, and Assemblywoman Judy Griffin, a Democrat from Rockville Centre, for helping secure the funds. “We are very excited we got three new police cars at a very desperate, needed time,” Beach said, according to a news release. “Thank you to Senator Kaminsky and Assemblywoman Griffin for their help securing them” Kaminsky said it was vital to equip the LPD with new cars. “Ensuring our police officers have the tools they need to keep our community safe is a critical priority,” he said. “These three new patrol cars will be used every day by the brave men and women of the Lynbrook Police Department to keep us safe. I was proud to have secured critical state funding to purchase these state-of-the-art vehicles at no cost to village taxpayers.” Griffin said the new cars would help enhance the work that Lynbrook police officers do daily. “The Village of Lynbrook and the Lynbrook Police Department provide community residents and our local businesses a safe place to live and work,” she said. “I am proud that Senator Kaminsky and I were able to secure the necessary funding to obtain three new police vehicles. I will continue to support the dedicated efforts of Chief ]Brian] Paladino and the entire police force to protect and serve the Village of Lynbrook.”

Though abbreviated, Lynbrook’s spring wrestling season was nonetheless seen as a statement. Finishing third at 4-2-1 in Nassau Conference 3B, the Owls flustered foes expecting to face some semblance of the squad that went 7-12 in 2019-20. Signs this winter are as yet mixed as to whether the Owls will springboard off spring, or struggle to keep their high pace. Lynbrook has started off 0-2 in Conference 3B dual meets, while also presenting consistently as a top-tier tournament team – nabbing third and fourth place finishes at the Knights Classic at Uniondale (Nov. 27) and the Frank Giampaolo South Side (Dec. 18) tournaments, respectively. “We’re in a tough conference, and we don’t have a lot of kids,” Lynbrook coach Rich Renz said. “But we’ve got more technical wrestlers than last season. In that respect we’re better. I think we’ll keep doing well in tournaments. We look like that kind of team.” Recent cases in point, Lynbrook junior Ralph Caputo was the Giampaolo heavyweight champ (285 pounds), while sophomore teammate Dylan Vanegas – ranked fifth in Nassau at 132 by the Long Island Wrestling Association – won the tournament’s consolation title in the 138pound class. Caputo – whose only loss this season came at the Knights Classic, where he went 4-1 to claim fifth place – is 4-0 in dual meets with three pins. Vanegas, who Renz said could drop back to 132, has won all four of his dual meet matches by fall. “Ralph has really improved from last year,” Renz said of the Owls co-captain. “He’s become very good when he’s down on the mat, scores a lot of points from there. Dylan’s a hard-working, technical wrestler. He wants to win so bad that he goes out and wrestles really hard.” Owls senior Andrew Director has shown little rust from sitting out the spring, going 4-1 in dual meets (three pins) at 215, with a fifth-place 3-1 finish at Knights, while fellow co-captain Sean Healy (junior) is 3-1 in duals and was a

He trains a lot in the offseason, and you see the results.” Lynbrook could see a lift if pieces fall into place as planned. Senior co-captain Tyler Ippolito (1-4 duals) flashed some of his former All-Conference form in a 7-0 dual-meet win at 189 over Nitrius Brown of Central Islip Dec. 12. Junior Jesse Jean – undefeated in spring (2-0) – is 0-1 after entering the season in progress,

while freshmen Zachary Tinyes (102), Ryan Benson (110), Jason Zisel (118), Elias Vanegas (145), and Emmet O’Grady (145) look to realize near-term returns on early varsity dues-paying. “Tyler can help us with his all-around athleticism,” Renz said. “Jesse’s a strong kid who’ll be helping us, for sure. Our ninth-graders are still very young, very raw, but tough. They’ll be very good, very soon. We’ve got lots of potential.” Lynbrook resumes dual meets Jan. 5 hosting 3B rival Roosevelt.

this approach would account for the economic, social, and mental health consequences of lockdowns and mandates. “Nassau County is not in crisis,” Blakeman continued. “Our hospital admissions are rising by a manageable and predictable rate. Reason and common sense must supplant hysteria.” Blakeman promised to lobby Albany to keep students in class without masks. Blakeman also took aim at the previous administration’s approach to the tax reassessment system, describing it as “unfair” and “secretive,” alluding to the algorithm used by Laura Curran’s office. Blakeman pledged to provide transparency by investigating the previous system with Comptroller Phillips. “There is no reason why millionaires should pay zero taxes, and then homes that are identical in the same communities pay vastly different tax rates,” Blakeman said. “It’s broken and we will fix it.” Reducing taxes to retain young people and keep older adults comfortable would be another major focus of the new administration, Blakeman said. Blakeman closed by saying he and new District Attorney Anne Connelly would demand the repeal of the state’s bail reform bill.

In his first remarks after taking leadership over one of the country’s most populated counties, Blakeman made it clear that he would not abide by Governor Hochul’s mask mandate, which was implemented in early December amid a new wave of cases caused by the highly contagious Omicron variant. “Starting today, Nassau is normal ag ain,” Blakeman told a largely unmasked crowd. “We have seen the ravages of the Covid-19 pandemic, but we can no longer be afraid. Yes, we still have challenges, but they are manageable.” According to The New York Times’ online tracker, Nassau’s hospitalization rate had increased by 47 percent in the previous 14 days, with 58 deaths in that same period. The seven-day positivity rate climbed to 24 percent, as well. Blakeman said the county would continue to encourage and support free vaccinations and testing for residents. He said

LYNBROOK/EAST ROCKAWAY HERALD — January 6, 2022

New county executive won’t follow statewide mask mandate ordered by governor


Lynbrook honors two first responders the Police Officer Interaction Program. Officers fill out daily digital reports of their activities, which their supervisors review before giving performance feedback. Paladino was born in Jamaica, Queens, but has lived in Lynbrook most of his life, and said he first developed an interest in law enforcement when he was 17. After graduating from Lynbrook High School, he worked for a summer at the Department of Public Works, where he met many police officers. His interactions with them inspired him to take the Nassau County police test. In 1997, he was hired by the Lynbrook department, but he said he never envisioned becoming its top officer. “Being named Lynbrook’s Man of the Year is an honor I had never thought of achieving,” Paladino said. “However, after being given the award, I’m overwhelmed by the honor. I’ve lived, worked and played in the Lynbrook community for nearly all of my life. I do for Lynbrook what I think is best for my family, friends, co-workers and fellow community members.” Bien has been an emergency medical technician in the Lynbrook Fire Department for about two decades, and is a former captain of the Lynbrook Fire Department, along with her husband, Larry. Her son, Scott, is the LFD’s third deputy chief, her son Dylan is the LFD’s first lieutenant,

her other son Kyle spent many years in the LFD before moving to Bayport, and her daughter, Jamie, was a member of the Lynbrook Junior Fire Department and a secretary of the Ladies’ Auxiliary. Bien’s son-in-law, James Monaco, is the East Rockaway Fire Department chief. “I met my husband at a Fire Department party 39 years ago, so I had no choice,” Bien said with a laugh. “It’s either join them or you lose.” As LFD members, the Biens have responded to calls for building fires, auto accidents, carbon monoxide leaks, medical emergencies, people trapped in elevators and various other calamities. Bien was inspired to join the LFD as an EMT after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, when many first responders rushed to ground zero to rescue those trapped in the twin towers. She said that volunteering is a family tradition, and that being able to save lives has been rewarding for her. On being named Woman of the Year, Bien said she shares the honor with her family, her fellow firefighters and the village’s residents. “I think anybody that gets in that position, it’s a group effort,” Bien said. “Your family, your village and being a part of the LFD, it’s just an honor to me to serve my community, and so many people deserve that award. I lived in Lynbrook my whole life, so my heart is always here.”

at risk.

By BILL GAYLOR lyneditor@liherald.com

■ After hearing reports of members of the law enforcement community and first responders being refused service at restaurants, fast food establishments, coffee shops, food trucks and retail stores, we passed a law that that prohibits such businesses or their employees from refusing to serve these individuals based on that criteria.

The year 2021 was another busy one for the Nassau County Legislature. As we enter 2022, I wanted to take a moment to highlight some of the key initiatives from last year that were passed by the Legislature and signed into law. ■ We approved millions in Covid-19 relief funds to provide financial assistance to our residents and small businesses. We also passed emergency funding measures to ensure that our first responders, health professionals, economic development agencies and other organizations had the necessary resources required to address the ongoing hardships faced by our families and communities in battling the pandemic. ■ In response to New York state legalizing the recreational use and sale of cannabis products for individuals 21 and older wherever smoking is allowed under the Clean Air Act, we created a law that prohibits ill the smoking or vaping of cannabis at all countyowned facilities. Currently, the smoking of tobacco is prohibited at county-owned properties. This legislation helps clear up any confusion by the public and reinforces that smoking of any kind is not permitted at county properties along with the vaping of cannabis as well. In addition, we passed a bill amending Nassau County’s Social Host Law to help prevent the consumption of cannabis by minors in private homes.

■ The Legislature established a special revenue fund that will ensure every dollar received from millions of dollars in settlements resulting from a class action lawsuit against several opioid manufacturers and pharmacies will go toward prevention, treatment and education programs specifically targeting the opioid epidemic. Without the special fund, the settlement proceeds would be placed into the county’s general fund, where they could be spent for purposes wholly unrelated to the opioid crisis.

■ We passed a bill creating a new school bus camera program that will impose fines on drivers who illegally go around or pass school buses with their stop sign out and lights flashing. These cameras will help make sure our students are safe when boarding and exiting buses, by hopefully prompting more drivers to follow the law and putting our children less

As your legislator, I am grateful for the support you continue to provide, and I look forward to taking on the challenges that lie ahead in 2022. I hope your holiday season was filled with joy and happiness along with good health that will remain throughout the New Year.

A MAJOR PROJECT in Lynbrook this year will be the $95 million, 201-unit apartment complex at the former site of the vacant Mangrove Feather factory.

Many projects on tap for 2022 CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE development with 55 studios, 111 one-bedroom and 35 two-bedroom apartments. The Town of Hempstead IDA approved a 30-year PILOT agreement for the project in November. “We’re all looking forward to bringing life back to our downtown and to our local businesses,” Beach said, “and getting the pandemic in the rearview mirror.” Beach also said he hopes to see the reopening of the Lynbrook Diner, which closed in March 2019 for renovations after 90 years of continuous operation. Its interior is now under construction. The mayor would also like to conduct a feasibility study into adding a pedestrian walkthrough on the west side of Atlantic Avenue to connect it to Broadway, among other projects. Beach added that a number of roads will be repaved in 2022, drainage issues will be addressed at areas that often flood in the village, the hockey rink at Greis Park will be redeveloped, recreation programs will expand, and the annual Oktoberfest will continue in the fall, along with other outdoor events slated for the spring and summer. That includes, Beach

said, the possibility of Patriots Day returning on Memorial Day weekend, as village officials seek to discover a way to hold a fireworks display without damaging the new artificial-turf field at Greis Park. “I also want to continue to attract quality businesses that make Lynbrook a prime destination for entertainment and commerce,” Beach said.

In East Rockaway

East Rockaway Mayor Bruno Romano said the board has several goals for 2022, including continuing to see the village through the coronavirus pandemic while helping improve commerce for local businesses. “In the year ahead, the board and I will improve on our great success of 2021,” he wrote in an email. “Even in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, we welcome new business, expand village programs and events, invest in our future through sound infrastructure projects and continue to make East Rockaway more resilient from weather emergencies.” Romano added that officials plan to allocate resources to improve quality of life, public safety and health initiatives

THE STRONGBOX THEATER recently came to East Rockaway, and a grand opening is scheduled for early this year. while providing “top-notch programs for our children and seniors.” Romano said he was particularly excited about the new restaurant Haviland Kitchen and Bar, which recently opened on Main Street, and the grand opening of the Strongbox Theater, which was built at the site of the former East Rockaway National Bank and Trust Company. The structure was constructed in 1930 and had stood vacant for five years. “The village board and I look forward to resuming our traditional events for this upcoming year,” Romano wrote. “We are looking forward to our Easter egg hunt, Memorial Day parade, Huckleberry Frolic, in addition to our other events

which we host every year.” He added that the village would also host an Oktoberfest event, in addition to the traditional Halloween and Christmas festivities later in the year. Romano said officials also planned to expand its senior and recreation center programs. Romano said he was proud of the board for its hard work and its efforts to keep the community safe during a difficult time. “We are extremely proud of our great team which we have always helping our residents,” he wrote, “working extremely hard and always being creative on achieving their work more efficiently and bringing wonderful new ideas and programs to our village. I applaud them for that.”

Wantagh

HOME Of tHE WEEK

Shining Bright Like A Diamond

T

his Wantagh Woods colonial is a rare gem. Completely renovated there is a large eat in kitchen with quartz counter top, stainless steel appliances and Medallion cabinets. There are 3 new full baths along with a family room with sliders. The master bedroom is enormous with a full bath, walk in closets, a vaulted ceiling and crown molding. There is a laundry room on the 2nd floor, redone hardwood floors and new stairs. This home has in-ground sprinklers and is newly landscaped with an oversized yard and large deck . It is a great home for entertaining. Asking $849,000

Q. I’m confused about the whole process of doing work to my home. I want to add a room and deck at the back of my kitchen, plus a second floor at the front of my Cape Cod-style home. Do I interview contractors first, architects first, ask an interior designer, ask my building department? What should I do, in what order? A. The most important thing to understand when beginning the process is that each of the many people who will have input has a particular set of abilities, and approaches your project from his or her particular perspective. When you take the wrong advice from the wrong person, communication begins to fail, which is what you’re onte eeper trying to avoid. The contractor has a specific perspective, for example, which involves budgeting and getting the work constructed. Unfortunately, without training in codes that govern what can legally be done, they will still often advise the customers, and this can go awry, because they don’t have the responsibility to stand behind the advice they give. The same can be said for interior designers, whose perspective should be within their scope of expertise, which is interior selections and knowledge of finishes and furnishings. Where the interior designer oversteps is when they plan the shape and location of spaces without the knowledge and expertise to determine the multiple issues of engineering, whether it’s the structure or other types of building systems like electric, plumbing and mechanical (heating, ventilating or air conditioning). As an architect, I regularly struggle to work out problems when a contractor has altered something on a construction site or an interior designer has made a change that involves great cost to undo. Examples of this could fill a book, but here are a few common ones. As I write this, I am preparing a case to present to a zoning board because a contractor was told, quite specifically and in front of the owner, that a second-floor addition had to be a specific roof angle and the structure had to sit on top of the first-floor walls. The contractor altered the roof angle and raised the addition 10 inches above the top of the first-floor walls. He even told the owner that the inspector “would never notice.” He did. An interior designer advised a client that they could violate the laws of nature, building codes and zoning regulations when they recently took a copy of architectural plans and reconfigured them, telling the client that the architect didn’t have the artistic acumen or skill that the designer uniquely possessed. So a column ended up going in place of a sink, the roof structure had to be rebuilt, and there was no place to run the plumbing and air conditioning ductwork vertically. The cost for slender steel beams to accommodate the design decimated the budget as well. All of these people need to be consulted, as long as they stay in their lanes of expertise. Good luck!

OPINIONS

W

ith 2021 behind us, I’m trying hard to be optimistic about 2022. When you’ve lived past your 70s, you have the benefit of having seen multiple ups and downs in our country, and those experiences give you some insight into what might lie ahead. The coronavirus pandemic has taken a big toll on most of America. Our daily rhythms have been scrambled. We’ve been forced to work from home, and have patiently suffered through JERRY lockdowns and the loss of social KREMER interaction. But because we are such an innovative nation, by the end of 2022, it’s likely that we will have tamed this disease and possibly be better prepared for any new health challenge. Last year was a tough one for the business world. The lockdowns around the world and the constant flare-ups of Covid-19 caused shortages of critical products. Some manufacturers who have

I

ample inventory have taken advantage of the shortages and have raised their prices unnecessarily. Oil refineries with large inventories have joined the parade and jacked up the price of gasoline. Millions of small businesses have been forced to close, and in many cases they will never return. 2022 promises to be a better year for our long-suffering industries. Our strangled shipping ports are likely to catch up with the backlog of containers, and the uncontrolled buying of 2021 will slow down. By midyear, many members of the workforce who stayed home will finally find new job opportunities, or bargain their way into better-paying positions. I’m thinking optimistically about the challenges we face, except for one. Surveying the scene from Minnesota or Montauk, I am most pessimistic about the political world. I have served over 30 years in state and local government. I have seen bold new programs, and marveled at political stars in both the Democratic and Republican parties. For the most part, today’s crop of

I

elected officials is as different as night and day from my time in state government. Once upon a time, leaders in my political world were willing to sit down and discuss the needs of the people, and got things done with simple handshakes. The backroom meetings were about the next 10 years, not the next 10 minutes. Quite a few of today’s incumbents, especially those in Congress, are interested only in getting re-elected, and are willing to say and do whatever it takes to hold on to power. It doesn’t make you a socialist if you believe in child care tax credits, more day care, pre-K programs and relief for young people struggling with college debt. Pollsters will tell you how widely accepted these initiatives are. But a handful of entrenched politicians will tell you they aren’t worth the cost or are being abused. Those same ideologues will eagerly vote for tax cuts for the rich and the purchase of more military equipment, needed or not. The biggest threat of 2022 will be the ongoing attacks on our voting system. Republicans in more than a dozen states

’m thinking positively about the challenges we face this year, except for one.

have passed laws putting state legislatures in charge of their voting systems. Dedicated independent professional election workers are being supplanted by party hacks whose only job is to protect their political base. It’s possible that hundreds of actual winning Democratic candidates will be denied victories under these new systems. These machinations should be the target of a real 2022 Stop the Steal campaign. Do we have any political heroes left on the national stage? Some of the 10 Republican House members who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump have been willing to give up their seats in the name of protecting the nation. A few in that brave group are seeking re-election, and were willing to take the risk. These are just random thoughts about the new year from a mostly optimistic columnist. I am eternally hopeful that the better angels will prevail in 2022. 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.

Readers tell their Covid stories in 50 words, or more

n the Dec. 2-8 issue, I invited readers to say how they were getting through the coronavirus pandemic so far, noting that all eyes were on the Omicron variant, and that our stories would surely evolve. Thank you so much for sharing these snippets of your lives. * “Friendship got me through Covid. I would not have made it through this unexpected plot change in life without my peers. The sudden death of my dog put a wave of grief over me for months. My RANDI best friend KREISS brought light into my shadowy sadness.” — E.K. * “‘So far’ are the operative words. No crystal ball here but by late February [2020] you could see it coming. Was still shocked by the incompetent and misleading, politicized government response and the willing denial by so many that killed and threatened. Read ‘The Great Influenza,’ spent months on the terrace and stayed as isolated as we could. Got a puppy.” — T.G. * “During the early days, I would take long walks in the early morning to clear

my thoughts. As time went on, I would run into other walkers, with many of us stopping to say hello and ask if everything was OK. On Thanksgiving 2020, a group of us got together outside and set up our tables six feet apart. We couldn’t be with family, but were happy to have found new friends.” — Anonymous * “I was reminded of all the things I used to love about myself. I read more than I had in years. I had genuine conversations with my family, who, despite living in the same house for years, never were quite on the same page. Most important, I was aware of all I had taken for granted: I was finally satisfied with the life I had created for myself. I was reminded of the little girl who smiled and laughed and loved herself.” — R.G. * “I feel blessed just being here in Merrick with my mom, Rose, after losing my dad, Fred, to mantle cell lymphoma during the pandemic. As a resident of Australia, I had to secure a Travel Exemption from the Australian government to be allowed to board a flight to New York.” — L.H. * “I temporarily moved next door to my daughter and her family in July 2020.

‘

I

They were expecting a baby in August. I was there to help them out and they were there, providing precious moments at a time I would have been isolated and anxious.” — Anonymous * “We were three couples, close-by neighbors living in comfortable condos on the beach. We met every evening to talk, swim, have drinks and share extra supplies we were able to find. I painted every day. I have 42 completed paintings, three of which I sold. I let my hair grow out and am no longer a slave to my roots. My husband and I played board games.” — C.T. * “I not only ‘got through’ the pandemic, I rather enjoyed the peace and serenity afforded by the lockdown. My life revolved around a few people with whom I really love doing things. I enjoyed cooking, reading, card and game playing, long walks. I see a definite beauty in stepping off the world, albeit temporarily.” —A.C. * “At first I thought Covid would disappear quickly, but when I realized it was here to stay, I felt resentful. I’m 74, and I felt that a year and a half of my time was stolen from me while I locked myself inside. But I came to realize I was lucky. My family was healthy, and I didn’t have

read more than I had in years. I had genuine conversations with my family.’

to go off to work. I just had to stay alive!” — B.C. * “Minus side: masking, no city, travel, theater, movies, felt restriction of movement. Plus side: more quality time to spend with family and friends, read, needlepoint, dining al fresco, a slower pace and longer phone conversations, spending less but giving more.” — B.G. * “Morning: television and telephone to family, friends. Afternoon: taking walks with husband through Cedarhurst. Evening: paint and write in a journal.

Nassau should enforce state’s mask mandate

B

ruce Blakeman’s first public act as Nassau County executiveelect, in the second week of December, was one of rebellion. Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, had ordered mask use in indoor spaces where people gather to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. Blakeman, a Republican, said he would defy the order, refusing to enforce it once he took office Jan. 1. The governor had left enforcement to the counties. We understand Blakeman’s reluctance to reinstate a mask mandate. People have grown tired of obeying orders. Most of us just want our freedom back. We want our old pre-pandemic lives. We crave normalcy. Apologies for the blunt language, but the coronavirus doesn’t give a damn about our desire to return to the way things were before all hell broke loose. It is a virus. It has an innate need to replicate, and to replicate it requires host bodies. Nature has granted the virus a seemingly incalculable ability to mutate to avoid eradication. That is why we must do all in our power to eliminate the coronavirus — including wearing masks in public spaces. That is why the state mandate is necessary. Blakeman has said there is little scientific evidence to demonstrate that masking reduces transmission of the coronavirus. That is not true. He only need look to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Science Brief from Dec. 6, titled “Community Use of Masks to Control the Spread of SARS-CoV-2,” to find it.

LETTERS The gift of a kidney To the Editor: Re Randi Kreiss’s column “Kidney donor tells story of the gift she gave”: The donor sure augmented the meaning of giving of oneself. For her kidney she must have received a heart — not only one. This was a heartwarming story. She sure was courageous and generous. What a nice story for the season.

Recalling the great transit strike To the Editor: Jan. 1 was the 56th anniversary of the 1966

The CDC cites numerous studies, conducted over the past two years in a variety of settings, demonstrating that mask wearing, when carried out properly, can reduce the transmission of Covid-19. According to the CDC, at least 10 studies have “confirmed the benefit of universal masking in community level analyses.” The agency, considered one of the world’s leading authorities on infectious diseases, further states, “Each analysis demonstrated that, following directives from organizational and political leadership for universal masking, new infections fell significantly.” Data from 200 countries, including the U.S., demonstrated reductions in the death rate as well. Furthermore, the CDC concludes, “increasing universal masking by 15 percent could prevent the need for lockdowns and reduce associated losses of up to $1 trillion, or about 5 percent of the gross domestic product.” If Blakeman is sincerely concerned about protecting the interests of Nassau businesses, as we firmly believe he is, then he will enforce the mask mandate to ensure that they stay open. No one — no one — wants the type of lockdowns that we are increasingly seeing in other countries. At some point soon, however, they could become inevitable if patients were to overwhelm our hospitals once again. The Omicron variant, clearly far more transmissible than previous strains, has spread like wildfire across the U.S. over the past month. As of press time Monday, Long Island’s daily positivity rate stood at nearly 25 percent — the

highest in the state, despite our high vaccination rate. Preliminary data indicate that Omicron, which is fueling this most recent surge, may be less virulent and less deadly than previous strains. Given the exponential growth of this new form of the virus, however, we are seeing hospitalization rates rising fast, which, once again, is straining our health care workers, who are already worn out by nearly two years of battling a relentless foe. At least one president of a major Nassau hospital has asked the public to consider staying home for two weeks to minimize spread. When Hochul enacted the indoor mask mandate on Dec. 10, it was supposed to last until Jan. 15. She recently extended it to Feb. 1. We urge Blakeman to consider enforcing it. The county mustn’t fine businesses that are earnest in their efforts to carry out the mandate — as many have been. Without enforcement for egregious violators, however, there will be those who disregard the law entirely, and therein lies the problem. To defeat this terrible, highly transmittable disease once and for all, we need a far greater sense of unity and resolve than we have shown to date. As a nation, we have always managed to summon our better angels and come together for a cause greater than ourselves. Now we are faced with yet another crisis of epic proportions that requires us to think beyond ourselves and do what is best for the greater good. Mask up!

OPINIONS

he 2019 documentary “Biking Borders,” chronicling the ninemonth, 9,320-mile cycling adventure of two college friends, Max Jabs and Nono Konopka, from Berlin to Beijing, opens with the pair struggling to stay upright as they pedal down a snowcovered road in eastern Turkey shortly after Christmas 2018. These guys are just nuts, I thought. Immediately, I was hooked. I had to watch this travelogue — twice. Following its opening scene, the SCOTT film, recently released on NetBRINTON flix, cuts to Germany and thereafter follows the pair’s journey chronologically, starting in the summer of 2018 at the Brandenburg Gate and ending at China’s Tiananmen Square in the spring of 2019. Viewers quickly learn that their trek was far more than a sightseeing tour of Europe, the Middle East and Asia. It was fundraiser to build a school in Guatemala, which has the highest illiteracy rate in Central America — roughly 25 percent. We also learn that the two, despite attending university in the biking capital of the world, the Netherlands, had barely

pedaled anywhere before their epic trek. Apparently, Jabs had ridden a little while in school, but Konopka not at all. In fact, the two undertook no special athletic training for their journey. According to a Forbes article on them, they figured they would get in shape on the way. As noted, these guys just seemed nuts — but in the best of ways. The two 20-somethings, both German, graduated together with degrees in international marketing from Fontys University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands in 2018, and set out on their journey only months later, headed to some of the most remote, inhospitable, potentially dangerous places on the planet. Yet they were all smiles, veritable fonts of infectious positivity. Chalk it up to irrational exuberance or youthful naiveté, but they just went for it — and succeeded — continually promoting their trek via social media along the way to bolster donations for their cause. If you watch anything on Netflix this winter, be sure to catch this film. For starters, it just makes you feel good. With so much pain in the world these days, it reminds us that there is hope for humanity, that we are not all irredeemably greedy, self-centered creatures. We can, through the power of belief and teamwork, do enormous good for the world.

transit strike that shut down New York City for days. It was the first of many municipal crises to face incoming Mayor John Lindsay, who ran on the Liberal and Republican Party lines, winning more than 1.1 million votes, or 45 percent, defeating Democrat/Civil Service Abe Beame, who had 41 percent, and Conservative Party National Review Editor William F. Buckley, who garnered 14 percent. Rush hour began at 4 a.m., and many people arrived home as late as midnight. The Long Island Rail Road added extra service. Both Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal were mobbed with thousands of new customers. Transit Workers Union President Michael Quill went to jail, suffered a heart attack and subsequently died. He did not live to see his successor win a record 15 percent wage hike. The subway fare was raised 33 percent, from 15 to 20 cents. LARRY PENNER Great Neck Penner is a transportation advocate, historian and writer who previously worked for the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 New York Office.

Jabs and Konopka started out hoping they might raise 50,000 euros (about $56,500) to build a one-room, cinder-block school in Guatemala. By the time they reached Iran, they had collected that sum and more. As of press time, the project had raised 288,700 euros (about $326,400), enough to construct five schools. Their new goal is a million euros — enough for 20 schools in Guatemala, Ghana and Laos. Jabs and Konopka partnered with the New York City-based nonprofit Pencils of Promise, which builds the schools. Adam Braun, 38, a Brown University graduate who worked on Wall Street, started the organization in 2008, prompted by a conversation he had had with a little boy on a street in India while in college. The boy was begging for money. What he wanted, though, was a pencil so he could write and learn. Braun gave him one. Later, feeling unfulfilled in high finance, Braun recalled that chance meeting and left behind his safe, well-appointed world for international nonprofit work, starting Pencils of Promise with $25. The organization has since raised $75 million for education in the developing world. I knew none of this before watching “Biking Borders.” When I learned the story behind the film and Pencils of Promise, I just had to donate to the cause,

The scenery is stunning, and on the road Jabs and Konopka encounter many kindhearted people who offer them aid when they need it most. And yes, things go awry from time to time, despite all their optimistic planning. Jabs and Konopka just embrace the people they meet, and people embrace them back. The two seem unafraid, no matter the circumstance, even in countries that are known to be hostile to westerners. In Iran they are met as something like heroes, with people waving to them, cheering for them and pouring food into their hands — and strangers welcoming them into their homes for a night’s rest and a rice-filled Persian meal. As an avid cyclist, I am at once envious of and fascinated by their trip. You needn’t love cycling, though, to enjoy this hour-and-a-half-long film. At its core, it’s really about our shared humanity, and these days, we can use all the humanity that we can muster.
