Lynbrook pizzeria ordered to pay employees $178,000 in damages By MIKE SMOLLINS msmollins@liherald.com

A Lynbrook pizzeria was ordered to pay more than $178,000 in back wages, damages and civil penalties for failing to pay employees overtime after a federal investigation, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Regina’s Pizzeria, also identified as Lynbrook Pizza & Pasta Inc., and its owner Nunzio DiLorenzo were ordered by the

U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York to pay $84,160 in fines, the same amount in damages to affected workers and more than $9,600 in civil penalties for what the labor department described as “the violation’s willful nature.” Messages for DiLorenzo at the pizzeria were not returned at press time, and his attorney, Jasmine Patel, did not return calls or an email seeking comment. In all, 17 employees were

shortchanged wages. They were to be paid between $57 and $31,821, with most of them to receive hundreds or thousands of dollars each. The court’s action came after a Wage and Hour Division investigation into the eatery, which concluded that DiLorenzo failed to pay certain employees overtime when they worked more than 40 hours per week, as CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Waverly Park students celebrate diversity

LYNBROOK/EAST ROCKAWAY HERALD — January 20, 2022

The Diversity Committee at Waverly Park E l e m e n t a r y S ch o o l recently hosted a No Place for Hate activity involving students and their families. Waverly families listened to the book “Chang e Sings” by Amanda Gorman, and many were inspired to purchase the book to make it a part of their home library. They watched a video made by Waverly staff regarding inclusion and how to be more inclusive as a community. “Pieces of Me” projects helped students express what makes them similar and different, and now hang in the school halls. The activity and future Diversity Committee projects all work to continue to make Waverly a community dedicated to diversity, respect and equity.

E.R. doctor indicted in alleged $100M auto scam By MIKE SMOLLINS msmollins@liherald.com

A doctor who practices in East Rockaway was among 13 people who were charged by federal prosecutors in two indictments that allege they schemed to defraud auto insurers out of $100 million by bribing 911 operators and others for access to motor vehicle accident records so that they could steer patients toward corrupt doctors. Damian Williams, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced criminal charges on Jan. 12 against Dr. William Weiner, a doctor of osteopathic medicine licensed by New York who practices in East Rockaway, and 12 others, including a New York City police officer, an attorney and three other physicians. In a statement, Williams called it one of the largest no-fault insurance fraud takedowns in history, and he noted that the investigation by his office started in January. “In carrying out their massive scheme, among other methods, they

allegedly bribed 911 operators, hospital employees, and others for confidential motor vehicle accident victim information,” Williams said in his statement. “With this information, they then endangered victims by subjecting them to unnecessary and often painful medical procedures, in order to fraudulently overbill insurance companies.” The indictment alleges that Weiner falsified findings of injuries in magnetic-resonance imaging scans to boost patient refer rals. He is charged with healthcare fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. Prosecutors said the fraud ring was headed by Bradley Pierre, and allegedly took $70 million from nofault insurers in a scam dating back to 2008. Pierre allegedly spearheaded the scheme out of the law office of an unidentified family member, who paid $4 million for accident-victim refer rals. According to the indictment, Pierre controlled five “no-fault facilities” that were owned

by licensed physicians. Pier re installed closed-circuit television cameras in his of fice, which he used to communicate with Weiner and Dr. Marvin Moy, who is licensed by New Jersey, practices in New York City and allegedly conducted “unnecessary and painful” electrodiagnostic testing on patients. The indictments also list Arthur Bogoraz, a paralegal and manager at a New York City injury law fir m, Andrew Prime, who is described as a “runner” who allegedly paid bribes to 911 operators for patient and client referrals, Alexander Gulkarov, who it alleges fraudulently owns and controls more than a dozen medical professional organizations, and attorney Robert Wisnicki, the founding partner of two New York-based law firms who is accused of laundering part of the proceeds. Additionally, Roman Israilov, Peter Khamiov and Anthony DiPietro are accused of working with Gulkarov to operate the scheme by bribing 911 operators, hospital work-

ers and others for motor vehicle accident victim information. From there, “runners” contacted the victims and allegedly lied to persuade them to seek treatment at clinics that Gukarov and his partners controlled, according to the indictment. New York City police of ficer Albert Aronov is accused of logging into NYPD computers during off hours to search for confidential accident reports. He took photos of the records and used a pre-paid “burner” phone to transmit them using an encrypted messaging application, the indictment said. Dr. Rolando Chumaceiro and Dr. Marcelo Quiroga are named as coconspirators in the indictment for allegedly prescribing unnecessary, expensive medical treatments and overbilling insurance carriers. “ S ch e m e s e x p l o i t i n g n o - f a u l t insurance laws — which ironically exist to make insurance more affordable — also result in higher costs, and unfairly burden all consumers in the auto insurance market,” Williams said.

Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital, in Oceanside, has named Dr. Alan Wong, a health-care quality and patient safety administrator, as chief medical officer and senior vice president for medical affairs, to help oversee ongoing efforts to combat Covid-19 and chart a course for post-pandemic initiatives. Wong succeeds Dr. Adhi Sharma, who was named the hospital’s new president last September. “Dr. Wong is highly regarded for his clinical acumen, strategic leadership and collegial approach,” Sharma said. “I am confident he will fit in well to our team and help move us forward to better serve the community.” In his new post, Wong will oversee all operations related to all medical care at MSSN. He also will act as the intermediary between medical staff and the hospital administration and board of directors. And he will oversee strategic planning and monitor the effectiveness of management practices and productivity indicators. “This is an exciting time to be at Mount Sinai South Nassau,” Wong, 47, said. “The hospital is expanding its services and becoming the dominant provider of acute and specialty care on the South Shore. The ongoing partnership with the Mount Sinai Health System also makes it the right place to be. I am looking forward to helping Dr. Sharma and his team grow the scope of services we can provide.” Wong’s pursuit of a medical career began when he was a student at the Bronx High School of Science. There, he developed a curiosity and passion for medical

The East Rockaway boys’ basketball team dominated its game against West Hempstead from the opening tip to the final whistle, as the team walked away with a 64-41 victory last Saturday. The main catalyst for the impressive victory was East Rockaway’s suffocating defense, which generated countless turnovers throughout the game. Head coach Paul Collins was satisfied with the effort the boys but forth considering the recent blunders and complications. “I talk about buzzing a lot,” Collins said. “We buzzed today for the first time in a long time, where we did make our mistakes, but buzzing on D forced a lot of turnovers and made it easier to score. One of central cogs in this stifling defense was junior John Giannotti, who was the frontline in the Rocks’ full court press, as he had 5 steals on the afternoon. He had 10 points as well, with a good portion coming from capitalizing on these forced turnovers. Senior Aiden Green was the focal point of the offensive game plan and he capitalized on this immense volume as he had 27 points, scoring from all three levels. Junior Tyler Hyland had 9 points and senior Joseph Lazazzaro had 8, as both players had strong takes within the natural flow of the offense. What was maybe most impressive about the Rocks’ victory was how well they managed the game following a 20-6 first-quarter margin, as the lead never deviated from there and they were able to mitigate any runs by the Rams. Fifty five of the 64 points scored by the Rocks came from within the arc, as they only connected on three 3-pointers, which clearly was a byproduct of the game plan as they didn’t attempt all that many jumpers. East Rockaway will look to build on this momentum when it hosts Locust Valley next. For West Hempstead, it never found its rhythm at any point. The Rams dug a 14-point hole after the opening quarter and were never able to crawl out. The main detriment for the Rams was its inability to protect the ball and safely

SENIOR AIDAN GREEN, right, was unstoppable last Saturday and poured in 27 points to lead East Rockaway to a 64-41 victory at West Hempstead. navigate its way through East Rockaway’s full court press, as it made it infinitely more difficult to go on a run and cut into the lead with such tenuous and fickle ball security. When they got past the press, they were able to generate good looks, but had trouble capitalizing “Our biggest issue was missed layups,” West Hempstead head coach Joe Thomas “I think we missed 21 layups and missed 7 out of 13 free throws so I’d say our issue was missing point blank shots.”

There were bright spots and moral victories for the Rams despite the unfortunate final margin. Freshman Isaiah Blunt was the lead scorer for the Rams with 13 points, and at certain points showcased a floater with his left. Junior Chris Olivier had 12 points and showed the ability to beat the zone and get to the rim. Senior Eli Rubin also hit two 3-pointers. The Rams will look to get on track when they travel to Oyster Bay.

How quickly I got angry! It’s hard to imagine how anyone is living through our ongoing epidemic without getting angry at times. We may suppress our anger, knowing it’s unfair to lash out at those who aren’t directly harming you. Or our anger may erupt when we least expect it, especially if you believe someone’s behavior can harm you. I confess that my dark id rose to the surface last month. There I was looking forward to a lovely lunch with my friend Dotty at a local restaurant when an unmasked waitress came over to our table and started telling us about the specials. I interrupted her asking, “Have you been vaccinated?” She responded (with an attitude), “I don’t have to tell you.” I said, “True, you don’t have to but I’m asking you, have you been vaccinated?” She re peated with increased agitation, “I don’t have to tell you if I’ve been vaccinated.” “Yes,” I said. “But still, I’d like to know – if –YOU – have – been – vaccinated.” She reiterated, “That’s like asking me who I voted for; I don’t

have to tell you.” Well now it was no secret who she voted for but that wasn’t my concern. “I don’t give a damn who you voted for, I just want to know if yo u ’ve b e e n va c c i n at e d , ” I roared, as my friend and I marched out of the p l a c e. I t o o k a d e e p breath, walked down the block and had a delightful lunch at another restaurant with a waiter who was masked. Anger is easily stirred up when you’re not getting what you want or believe you deserve. Irritation may stem from inda healthy, legitimate needs (i.e. I should be able to feel safe in a restaurant). Or, from narcissistic, false entitlement needs (i.e. I should be able to do whatever I want, regardless of what others think I should do). As a psychologist, I know that sometimes you can work with anger

(your own included) to explore its underlying meaning. For me, it was I’m taking a chance going out to eat and I want to feel safe doing so. For some folks, however, their attachment to anger is so strong, so vindictive that they hold onto it, no matter what. Raw emotion easily ebbs up when things aren’t going your way. It could be moment a r y a n n o ya n c e w i t h yourself, “Damn, I should have left earlier to be on time.” Or, it could be outo f - c o n t r o l r o a d ra g e , “That IDIOT’S Going to KILL ME; I’ll SHOW Him He CAN’T Get AWAY With apadin It!” Blaming others is easy; searching for a solution is harder. I’m awfully glad I left to find another restaurant instead of wallowing in my frustration and anger. Now what about you? Do you blame others for your anger? Come on, you and I both know you do from time to time.

Person to Person

But more importantly, do you let go of your anger before it ruins your day or you act in a way you’ll later regret? Do you know how to calm yourself down, problem solve a situation and move on? Or, do you hold on to your anger, blaming others for how you feel, creating an atmosphere in which everyone feels on edge? Do you allow your anger to emerge in self-defeating ways, creating an unsafe undercurrent for yourself and others? If so, consider doing some exploratory work to bring your anger to a healthier state – especially during this difficult time when the end of our pandemic is still not in sight. ©2022 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author specializes in helping people enhance their relationships and overcome procrastination, debilitating anger and anxiety.

CHILD CARE CREDIT INCREASED FOR 2021 ONLY

Start the New Semester off on the right track!

The new tax law increases the amount of the credit and eligible expenses for child and dependent care, modifies the phase-out of the credit for higher earners and makes it refundable. For 2021, the top credit percentage of qualifying expenses increased from 35% to 50%. In addition, eligible taxpayers can claim qualifying child and dependent care expenses of up to: • $8,000 for one qualifying child or dependent, up from $3,000 in prior years, or

Where there’s WillpoWer , there’s a Way. But how do you develop WillpoWer ? Whether you’re a perfectionist, Dreamer, Worrier, Crisis-maker, Defier, pleaser, ThiS book Will ShoW you hoW!

• $16,000 for two or more qualifying dependents, up from $6,000 before 2021. This means that the maximum credit in 2021 of 50% for one dependent’s qualifying expenses is $4,000, or $8,000 for two or more dependents. When figuring the credit, employer-provided dependent care benefits, such as those provided through a flexible spending account (FSA), must be subtracted from total eligible expenses.

Have a great story?

As before, the more a taxpayer earns, the lower the credit percentage. But under the new law, more people will qualify for the new maximum 50% credit rate. That’s because the adjusted gross income (AGI) level at which the credit percentage is reduced is raised substantially from $15,000 to $125,000.

Call our editors today 516-569-4000 or email

Above $125,000, the 50% credit percentage is reduced as income rises, plateauing at a 20% rate for taxpayers with an AGI above $183,000. The credit percentage level remains at 20% until reaching $400,000 and is then phased out above that level. It is completely unavailable for any taxpayer with AGI exceeding $438,000.

Residents hope for cleaner water, lower rates have a cheaper water bill, I would want Liberty to really tackle getting us cleaner water.” Larry Artz wrote that he wanted to keep politics out of water, while Declan Carroll said privatization is “always the worst idea because profits matter more than safety,” and Jennifer Stock questioned why a private company owns what she called “our precious water supply.” Some residents said they were confused how they would pay their bills with a new company taking over, including East Rockaway resident Mary Mullagh Meneses. “We have no idea who we are paying and why,” she wrote. “We were never informed of anything.” Liberty recently announced, however, that American Water would continue to provide payment services for New York customers for the foreseeable future. The NYAW website has a message from Liberty and links to help customers navigate the site and pay their bills. The PSC’s approval of the sale included stipulations for Liberty to launch a customer service improvement plan, which would add 14 staff positions for the company, and to conduct a customer satisfaction survey after a year. Under the agreement, the utility must also create low-income assistance programs to identify customers who may need help

with past-due bills. And the deal includes $23.5 million in funding from Liberty to limit the impact of past rate hikes that NYAW agreed to delay because of various factors, including the coronavirus pandemic. In an email to the Herald, East Rockaway Mayor Bruno Romano congratulated Liberty on acquiring NYAW, and said he hoped the new utility would consider the area’s high cost of water when setting rates and work to provide clean water for the village. “Through the years, we have had many issues with New York American Water, which have not been addressed, or just pushed off to the back burner,” Romano wrote. “I am hoping that Liberty Utilities keeps their commitment to their clients of keeping the cost of providing water at a very reasonable cost, and improve the water quality and service to their clients.” Lynbrook Mayor Alan Beach said he was pleased about the two-year rate freeze, but believed prices were still too high for ratepayers. “I’m happy they agreed to a twoyear freeze, but we still think village residents are overpaying for the product,” Beach said. “We still have additional filtering of our water in our homes. The charges on hydrant rentals are way out of hand. They need to reconsider their rates.”

REGINA’S PIZZERIA, IN Lynbrook, will pay more than $178,000 in damages after failing to pay employees overtime, following an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department.

Lynbrook pizza shop owes its employees $178,000 required by the Fair Labor Standards Act. The restaurant also violated the FLSA’s recordkeeping requirements by failing to keep accurate records of work hours and pay rates, according to the labor department. “Over the past year, the services provided by essential food industry workers have helped us cope with the many challenges we’ve faced,” David An, the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour District director, said in a statement on its website. “They deserve to be paid every cent of their lawfully earned wages. Too often, employers fail to pay proper overtime to workers and attempt to obscure their actions with incomplete and inadequate records. Other employers should view this investigation’s outcome as a reason to review their own pay practices and avoid the costly consequences of disregard for the law.” According to the Department of Labor, the pizzeria was found guilty of: — Paying non-exempt kitchen employees a fixed salary for all hours worked, with no additional overtime pay when they worked more than 40 hours in a workweek. — Calculating the overtime rate for their tipped employees based solely on the direct cash wage and not the full minimum wage rate.

— Rounding weekly wages up or down to the nearest dollar. — Creating an artificial hourly rate for workers to try to show FLSA compliance. The DOL found that Regina’s failed to resolve violations subsequent to the investigation, leading to litigation by the department’s Office of the Solicitor. The judgment requires the pizzeria to notify affected employees about the judgment and their FLSA rights in Spanish and English. It also prohibits the business from retaliating against employees and soliciting them to return or kick back their wages and damages. Investigators found that from October 2016 to December 2018, kitchen, phone and counter staff regularly worked more than 60 hours per week, but were paid a fixed salary without overtime pay, depriving “employees of their lawfully earned wages.” Hour and pay records that were kept falsely showed that full-time employees all worked 11 hours a shift, every shift, during the week or weekend, resulting in the same paycheck amounts every week, according to court filings. “These records also underestimate the number of hours worked,” the labor department said in its legal complaint, “failing to take into account work done before and after the restaurant was open, for example, and longer shifts on weekends.”

A zoning variance for a bigger den?

Oceanside

HOME Of tHE WEEK

Welcome to Paradise

Q. I wanted to add on to the den on the side of my house. The den has been there since 1930. The problem I’m having is that if I want to make the addition so that it’s in alignment with the current den, the side distance to my property line is too close, by 12 inches, according to my building department. They say that I have to match the code requirement that was adopted in 1938, so instead of having a straight wall going all the way back, I either need to make a jog in the wall or go for a zoning variance. It just doesn’t make sense. I’m not adding a monster-sized addition, just 10 feet by 10 feet on the side of my house, behind tall hedges. My neighbor doesn’t mind, so what can I do about this?

uilt in 1987, this fabulously appointed 2,673 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 3 full bathroom Contemporary has it all. As you enter this gorgeous home you are greeted by the expansive open floor plan and stunning water views from every room.

A. Not much, except decide whether you want a ridiculous-looking room with a jog in the wall or want to spend the money and time to go through the zoning variance process. When I see cases like this, I understand the intent of the law, but not the “spirit” of the law. The intent is to prevent the construction of buildings too close to a properonte eeper ty line, based on historical catastrophes such as the London fire and the Chicago fire, both of which saw hundreds of lives lost and tens of thousands of buildings destroyed, mainly because of their closeness to one another and their ability to burn easily. We live in a modern age in which materials have been tested, analyzed, certified and regulated to limit flame spread, and communities have been set up with strict guidelines to leave spaces between buildings for safety and appearance. But knowing, or not remembering, this, communities may invoke the strictness of the law like a stern punishment, or look at the separate conditions and merits of each case, deciding that your straight wall versus a jogged wall isn’t going to hurt anyone and, being located on the side or behind your house, isn’t going to detract from the character of the community. Some building departments have been given the flexibility to make these decisions, to avoid throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and have the authority to give approval for minor issues. Some municipalities have even gone so far as to pass ordinances allowing the discretion of building departments to allow for the alignment of built structures, previously approved, on the first story. It makes sense not to put homeowners through an unnecessary hearing process, sometimes costing thousands of dollars and many months of delay, just so they can have a straight wall. Allowing alignment with a previously approved part of a building isn’t the same as having a flammable wall too close to a property line or another building. In the long run, a variance will be worth it. Otherwise the weird wall shift won’t be understood or be beneficial to you. Good luck!

OPINIONS

hen U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi announced his Democratic primary run against Gov. Kathy Hochul, it may have seemed like a D’Amato moment. Alfonse D’Amato, then the Town of Hempstead supervisor, saw a glimmer of political daylight in 1980, when he decided to reach for the political gold ring of U.S. senator from New York. Defeating the legendary three-term incumbent Jacob Javits was deemed impossible by every political pundit and commentaRONALD J. tor, and you assumed ROSENBERG would’ve that not even the bookies would take your bet. Yet D’Amato successfully navigated every political rapid to secure victory, a win that stands to this day as testimony to astute political analysis, hard work and an indomitable belief in oneself. When Suozzi first announced his intention to run against Hochul, he rightly assumed that state Attorney General Letitia James would remain a Democratic primary candidate for governor. Given her left-wing credentials, combined with the progressive candidate for that office, Jumaane Williams, Suozzi reasoned that moderate Democrats would look for a “safe

really needed to get on the Smart HQ website to get my new G.E. Café Series kitchen appliances online. Oh, you didn’t know? You must have internet-friendly ovens and cooktops these days. That way, you can put a meatloaf in the oven, go into the city for the day, use your phone to remotely turn on the oven and then turn it off remotely when the meatloaf is done. Think of it. You can put a stew in your new microwave, which can nuke, bake, air fry or mow the lawn, cook it while you’re out and RANDI return to a preKREISS pared meal. Or a wildfire, but let’s not go there. My old gas stove was dumb as an ox. Turn the knob, light the flame and simmer the soup. Could it tell time? Could it get automatic updates from the Wizard of Oz behind some screen at G.E.? Could it beep maniacally when the food was done? No, no and no. And get this: All my old refrigerator could do was keep food cold. My new one can make ice cubes of a par-

house” from which to escape the Democrats’ lurch to the left. He certainly has the credentials to be that moderate. But with James backing out of the race, the political threat from the left that Suozzi had expected to help rally centrist Democrats evaporated. Williams doesn’t have the recognition, sufficient base or fundraising capabilities for a credible statewide race. That leaves Hochul in a powerful place, because she has the means to outflank Suozzi on any number of fronts. She’s reportedly playing hardball: Word has it she has already told potential donors, “Either you’re with me or I’m against you.” This tactic has obviously worked, because the entire Long Island Democratic State Senate and Assembly delegation has thrown its support to the Buffalo-based Hochul rather than Suozzi. She is also dominating the New York City political news cycle. Her recent effort used the power of her office to dangle support for infrastructure projects that would make the lives of people who likely would have voted for Williams far easier. Her proposal to create an interborough express line from Brooklyn to Queens would allow an underutilized 14-mile freight line to potentially connect some 900,000 residents to mass transit. The concept has been discussed by others over the years, but a gubernatorial news conference in the dead

of winter makes news. The proposal quickly won the endorsement of Queens Borough President Donovan Richards. That leaves Suozzi holding virtual town hall meetings with potential primary voters while firing off verbal sniper rounds at Hochul’s handling of Covid19. He must hope she will be pushed to the left on any number of issues, which could motivate the Democratic middle to take to the primary polls. And the left may just do that. The insanity of bail “reform” has effectively jeopardized every Democrat in office — just ask Laura Curran and Todd Kaminsky. The new Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, said he would not prosecute shoplifters or those who don’t use a gun in the commission of a robbery, and if a gun were used, they would only be charged with a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor for armed robbery? Completely insane. New York City has also signed into law a bill that allows an estimated 800,000 noncitizens to vote in municipal elections (which Republicans have sued to overturn as being unconstitutional). Say what? Welcome to the new New York City, which may be even worse than the New York City under recent Mayor Bill de Blasio, who can only be compared to a communist. Is Hochul prepared to endorse the actions of fellow Democrats that are at

om Suozzi no doubt thought he had the perfect opportunity to run for governor.

odds with the fundamental ethics of lawabiding citizens? What tightrope will she walk because of the actions of the progressive wing of her party that would make moderate Democrats flee to anyone willing to stand against that tide? There is another massive political force out there — Andrew Cuomo. He has sent out emails to everyone who has ever breathed politics to say “stay tuned” now that criminal charges against him have been dismissed. He need not actually run for office to be a force. He has millions of unspent campaign dollars that could be quietly directed to any statewide race, even to someone for whom he has previously expressed antipathy, like Tom Suozzi. It would be in Cuomo’s character to act as a spoiler. Suozzi may, or may not, be able to replicate the political roadmap that allowed D’Amato to seize victory after victory during the autumn of 1980, resulting in a statewide win on election night. However, today’s political environment is more combustible, more unpredictable and more unforgiving than ever before. By their actions, progressive ideologues could very well determine a surprising outcome in this year’s Democratic primary for governor – one they won’t like. Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.

Can your stove talk to you? ticular shape, and make coffee in a gizmo set right into the front door. Back to the Smart HQ app. You can do nothing without the app, so I downloaded it onto my phone, entered a username and a password. Then — I admit, with much trepidation — I approached my wall oven. I hit “WiFi enable,” as instructed, and everything went pretty much downhill from there. My phone said it couldn’t connect to my oven, that I had to enter a new password. So I did. Then my phone said it had to verify my identity on another device, so it sent a code to my iPad, which was upstairs. I ran upstairs and right into my husband, who was running downstairs to verify his identity on his iPhone for a bank transaction. I got my code, dashed back to the oven and signed on again to the app. This time it asked for “further verification.” Pictures appeared. It asked me to check off all the photos in the boxes containing traffic lights. The photos were tiny. And my reading glasses were in the car, so I ran outside, got the glasses, searched the photos on my phone for traffic lights, won-

dered what I did to deserve this and somehow got it right. Then I was asked to verify the obvious: that I am not a robot. After three hours and 20 minutes, with a break for a cold salad, since I didn’t feel like cooking anything, I got the Smart HQ app downloaded onto my phone, and I got all my new appliances online. Instantly, the clocks on the stove, the wall oven, the microwave and refrigerator synchronized. Clearly, I was in some kind of technological G-spot. When I eventually got the ovens and cooktop online, there was an authorization request asking that I give the G.E. Wizard of Oz the ability to turn my appliances off and on, update them remotely or fix a problem. I signed. I have a creepy feeling now that in our ongoing relationship, my microwave has the upper hand. It is, apparently, the hooha upscale version of the plain vanilla microwave. This one can sense what food you have inside, determine the right time and temp and serve up your ribs just right. It doesn’t just zap. It can convection bake

hat if my fridge, microwave and wall oven team up and take over?

and air fry as well. It can proof your bread dough. My dad always told me, “Don’t have machines that are smarter than you are,” but that was a moot point when I bought my first pencil sharpener. What if my microwave goes rogue? I mean, I could be out for the day and the microwave could talk to the refrigerator and they could recruit the wall oven and I could come home to a full-blown coup d’état. The wall oven, whom I call Hal, wants to know if I prefer to roast, bake, convention bake, convection roast or air fry? What it can’t do is cook a hamburger, which is what I happen to want to eat much of the time. To give credit: These ovens will clean themselves with super-high heat or steam with the press of a few buttons. That’s impressive. My gas stove couldn’t do that. But then again, the big old ox was reliable as the day is long, all iron and heat and natural gas. These new-fangled thingies answer to different gods, all digital and remote and dead on arrival without the right passwords. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Bail reform law needs still more tweaking

assau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder convened a news conference on Jan. 13 to make a point: The state’s bail reform law, enacted in January 2020, needs further reform — specifically, he seemed to suggest, for charges of illegal gun possession. Right now, an offender who is in possession of an illegal firearm can be released without bail. That wasn’t the case before January 2020, when judges had the discretion to hold such suspects on bail. The 2020 bail reform law, however, essentially states that these offenders can get out of jail free while waiting to make a plea or go to trial, provided they haven’t shot anyone. (Violent crimes are eligible for bail.) At the new Nassau County Police Department Academy, a shiny white building that rises out of a back field at Nassau Community College in Garden City, Ryder displayed eight illegal handguns last Thursday, all seized by police during car stops since the start of the year. He noted that Nassau had already had eight gun arrests this year, compared with only two in the same time frame in 2021. Whether there were more illegal guns in circulation in the county at the start of the year, or police were out looking for them more ardently, was unclear. Asked by the Herald, Ryder did not say whether he believed the bail reform law should be nixed, and the news conference ended abruptly shortly afterward. “Bail reform,” Ryder said, “is important . . . It needs to be fixed.”

LETTERS Thanks for Brinton’s column To the Editor: Re Scott Brinton’s column “‘Biking Borders’ brings out the best of humanity” (Jan. 6-12): After reading it, I had to watch the documentary. Thank you so much for bringing awareness to this delightful and important film. I come from a family of avid bicyclists, and will tell them all to watch. And I will be donating to the ultra-worthy cause, Pencils of Promise, highlighted in the film and in Brinton’s column. ELYSA SUNSHINE Glen Cove

We agree that judges should have the discretion to assign bail in cases of illegal gun possession. Ryder ticked off a list of eight defendants, all of whom face possession charges and all of whom were released without bail. We can’t say what, if anything, any of these defendants might have done or not done with these weapons if police hadn’t discovered them. We can say, however, that any illegal gun represents the potential for violence. Most crimes are not committed with guns, according to the FBI. Most gun crimes (more than 65 percent in New York), however, are committed with illegal handguns. Judges should have the discretion to set bail in cases of illegal gun possession, particularly cases when a defendant has a long record of arrest and prosecution. This is not to suggest that bail reform must be overturned, as so many conservatives suggest. It simply requires further adjustment. Clearly, there is, in Nassau County at least, a high degree of electoral support for doing away with bail reform. New District Attorney Anne Donnelly, a Republican, made it a cornerstone of her campaign last fall, running numerous TV commercials suggesting that violent criminals are being released from jail onto our streets. That, in large part, explains her defeat of State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, the Democratic candidate for the post, who was, at one point, considered the favorite. New County Executive Bruce Blakeman, also a Republican, wants bail reform repealed as well. He said so in his inaugu-

ral speech, arguing, “Criminals have more rights than victims. Enough is enough.” That was hyperbole, but there is a definite public perception among many that criminals have been prioritized over victims. Further tweaking the law to ensure that judges can assign bail to those caught with illegal guns would go a long way toward changing people’s minds. That’s important. Bail reform remains a critical piece of legislation in the State Legislature’s recent efforts to ensure social justice for all, including in the criminal justice system. Here’s what we wrote in a December 2019 editorial: ”The new law will allow most defendants who are charged with nonviolent crimes and misdemeanors to be released after their arraignment without having to make bail. Hardliners have argued against the new law, saying it will allow thousands of potential offenders onto our streets, where they could continue their criminal ways. “News flash: Any one of these offenders could have been on the streets in the past, if only they had had the cash to make bail, but they didn’t, so they stayed locked up. Meanwhile, if you were affluent enough to afford bail, you got out of jail, and were free to carry on with your life with your family — and potentially earn a living.” The previous system favored wealthy over poor offenders, who were, according to statistics, most often Black or Latino. We thus urge our legislators to continue tweaking the bail-reform law, without doing away with it.

OPINIONS

have been blessed to raise my hand and pledge to serve my community as an elected official many times over the past 16 years. However, last Monday was the first — and hopefully, last — time that I will take the oath of office in my living room. I had looked forward to joining my colleagues on Jan. 10 for inaugural ceremonies marking the start of the 14th session of the Nassau County Legislature and my third term as a legislator. However, on Sunday, the 9th, I felt congestDEBRA ed, unusually tired and was coughing, MULÉ sneezing and had a runny nose. Initially, I figured it was probably the cold that I seem to get every winter, but I am loathe to assume anything — especially as the Omicron variant continues to spread so

rapidly. So I took a Covid-19 home test, and it came back positive. Physically, I felt all right. My booster shot did its job, and my symptoms were like those of a common cold. The discomfort I was experiencing didn’t inhibit my ability to work full-time for the residents of the 5th Legislative District. And, through the marvels of modern technology, I was “in the room” virtually to be administered the oath of office by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer with my minority caucus colleagues. No matter how busy you may be, though, being hunkered down for a few days leads to contemplation and reflection. My experience illustrates how vaccines and boosters are key to preventing severe illness from the coronavirus. Since the emergence of Omicron, data from the state Department of Health continues to show that fully vaccinated people are

he day before I was sworn into the Legislature, I felt lousy, and guess what?

LETTERS Who’s paying for the relief? To the Editor: There is more to U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer's announcement that the Federal Transit Administration released a $6 billion grant to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for CARE Covid-19 relief. This grant brings the total amount of CARE funding from Washington for the MTA to $14 billion. What Schumer neglected to say was how much of this funding has been paid for, rather than how much has been borrowed, adding to our national debt of $29 trillion and growing. “It is a public service,” he said, “and the higher percentage we get from city, state and federal help, the better.” Funding for the MTA has long been a four-way partnership among what riders pay at the farebox along with city, state and federal funding.

much less likely to get Covid-19 and much less likely to be hospitalized with breakthrough cases. If you want to get vaccinated or boosted, go to https://www.nassaucountyny.gov/5126/COVID-19-VaccineInformation to find a site near you. My breakthrough case didn’t shake my belief in masks as one of the key tools to slow the spread of Covid-19 and other airborne illnesses. In a recent Newsday report, Jack Caravanos, clinical professor of environmental public health sciences at the NYU School of Global Public Health in Manhattan, stated clearly that while N95 and KN95 masks are most effective, cloth and surgical masks are still beneficial — especially if everyone in a room is wearing them. That, perhaps, is the biggest point of all of this: By protecting yourself, you are protecting all of us. Why not err on the side of caution if there is a potential benefit to others? In all honesty, I don’t like to

Commuters and Washington always ante up. Will Schumer hold one of his news conferences to ask Gov. Kathy Hochul, state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Steward Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie to increase Albany’s contribution? Will he also ask New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Comptroller Brad Ladner and Council Speaker Adrienne Adams to increase City Hall’s contribution? Schumer never explained why many other transit agencies around the nation already received their second and third rounds of funding ahead of the MTA.

wear a mask — I suspect no one does. I do it to protect myself, those I love and people I don’t know. Over the past several years, I have grown disheartened by how deceit, division and political ambition have been amplified to undermine our faith in our institutions and drive wedges between us. It is profoundly unhealthy. Especially now, caring for one another is essential to repairing the fabric of our society. We need to protect the most vulnerable among us — those who are too young to get the vaccine, the immunocompromised and those who have other underlying conditions that would make Covid-19 especially perilous. As we embark on this new year — a time for healing and growth — it is my fervent prayer for us to work together to end this public health crisis once and for all, and renew our belief in the pursuit of the common good. Debra Mulé, of Freeport, was first elected to the Nassau County Legislature in 2017. She represents the 5th Legislative District.
