Officials seek field upgrades Proposals to appear on school budget ballot
By MIKE SMOLLINS msmollins@liherald.com
Two Lynbrook schools could see major upgrades to their sports fields as officials have proposed projects for Marion Street Elementary and Lynbrook North Middle schools, which will appear on the budget vote ballot in May. At the board’s Jan. 12 meeting, district Facilities Director James Saitta and Robert Cas-
cone, of JAG Architects, presented a capital improvement proposal for each school. At NMS, field upgrades would include replacing the natural grass field with synthetic turf. The field would also have lines for multiple sports, including football, soccer, lacrosse and field hockey, new football uprights and soccer goals. It would also include a 16-foot chain-link fence on the field’s west side, and a 4-foot chain-link
fence on the north side, a 300seat, three-row bleachers stand, LED sports lighting and an expansion to the parking lot along the east side. Additionally, Room 208 would also receive new floor tiling under the proposed plan, according to Saitta. Upgrades proposed for Marion Street include the replacement of the current syntheticturf field with new turf, game CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Parents gather to protest mask mandates msmollins@liherald.com
About a dozen parents gathered outside of the Lynbrook School District’s administration building on Jan. 25, some holding signs, in a peaceful protest of mask mandates in schools, in the hope to push officials to make wearing masks optional. Jen Saia said she attended the event and has a child enrolled at the Lynbrook Kindergarten Center, and that she and other likeminded parents want the school district to reconsider mask mandates. “We understand that coronavirus is real, it is a risk, for many,” she said, “but with the availability of people to protect themsleves in other ways . . . at this point in time, people should have the choice of whether or not their children are masked in schools.” Saia added that school officials have been receptive, but have indicated they do not have control over the mandates, and that the parents have tried to remain respectful when speaking with them. She also noted that many children may be immunocompromised, and parents want to be sensitive to that, which is why the group believed that masks should be optional. On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that New York’s requirement that masks be worn in schools and businesses that don’t screen for proof of vaccination would remain in place while a state court considers a challenge to it. The ruling came after the mask mandate
was upended by a Long Island judge before being temporarily reinstated the next day. Gov. Kathy Hochul imposed the mandate in December amid rising Covid-19 cases due to the Omicron variant. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman tried to override the mandates through executive orders, but did not have the grounds to overrule the State Education Department and could not force boards of education to vote on the mandate. At the Jan. 12 school board meeting, Lynbrook officials said masks would remain in place for the foreseeable future, and that attendees at each meeting must also wear masks. However, parents like Saia said forcing children to wear masks has had a negative impact on them. “It’s been two years and our children deserve their childhood back,” she said. “My child is 5 and she wears glasses. We as adults know what it’s like to wear a mask with glasses. She’s trying to learn how to read and write, and she can’t see her teachers’ mouth and her teacher can’t see her mouth, and it’s hard to hear with muffled voices behind these masks.” Saia said she discussed the issues with mask wearing with other parents, and they decided to stand outside of the administration building, but that they wanted to express themselves peacefully. “We’ve been respectful to them and they’ve been respectful to us,” she said of school officials. “We want to continue that relationship. All we ever wanted was a choice.”

ABOUT A DOZEN parents gathered outside the Lynbrook School District’s administration office to rally for the choice over whether to mask their children in schools.
Lynbrook trustee joins water authority board Lynbrook resident Laura Ryder was among three people appointed to the South Nassau Water Authority district board by Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin and other town officials. The South Nassau Water Authority is an independent body, which has been created by the State Legislature, and will oversee a district that now receives water service through the private utility New York American Water. NYAW was recently sold to Liberty Utilities after drawing the ire of frustrated customers, who have opposed the service and rate hikes for years. Ryder is a trustee on the Lynbrook village board and has served as a community leader in many ways. She was a member of the American Water Company Outreach Committee from 2018 to 2020, where she served as an advocate
3
for fellow residents and provided information to the community in regard to the private water utility. Other appointees include John Reinhardt III, the commissioner of the Town of Hempstead’s Department of Water, who manages all aspects of the town’s municipal water operations, serving more than 37,109 customers, and Jose ph Baker, a longstanding community leader and business owner who is LAURA the founder and president of the South Merrick Community Civic Association. Baker also serves on the Merrick Chamber of Commerce, the
Historical Society of the Merricks and the Police Commissioners Community Council. While announcing the members of the South Nassau Water Authority, Clavin and the board renewed their call for Gov. Kathy Hochul and the South Shore’s state Senate representatives to provide fair and adequate funding for costs associated with the establishment and operations of the new indepenRYDER dent body. The members noted that the North Shore Water Authority, which represents more than 5,000 American Water customers, receives $1
million annually in state funds, while the South Shore Water Authority, which represents more than 110,000 customers, receives no funding under the bill approved by the state Legislature and signed into law by Hochul in November. “As we move the process forward, we also think that it’s disheartening that the residents of America’s largest township are being treated so disproportionately by our representatives in Albany,” Clavin said, according to a news release. “It’s time our Albany representatives provide equity to the residents of America’s largest township.” The South Nassau Water Authority board was set to be put into effect on Feb. 1.

Lynbrook Mayor Alan Beach said crews from the Department of Public Works began salting the streets in the village at 8 p.m. on Friday and then plows be g an servicing the streets around midnight. A second crew came in at 4 a.m. and was active all day Saturday. “The crew always works hard,” Beach said. “They’re out there fighting these blizzard conditions.” East Rockaway Mayor Bruno Romano said the Department of Public Works pre pped the snow removal fleet, and was ready to respond to the impending nor’easter before it hit. “The DPW staff pre-salted all village roadways, parking lots and side-

ning,” he said. “DPW equipment encompasses approximately 20 vehicles, all equipped for snow removal, including plows, loaders, salt spreaders and snow blowers.” County and town officials described road conditions as “dangerous” during the stor m, and said motorists should stay home if they did not have to go out. The Long Island Rail Road suspended service during the storm. The LIRR posted on its Twitter feed: “Safety first! We continue to operate patrol trains throughout the system to keep tracks and switches clear of snow and prepare for the resumption of service. Stay off the tracks at all times and do not go around lowered crossing gates, as a train may be approaching at any time.” Service was restored on Saturday night. PSEG-Long Island was reporting only scattered outages across the Island on its website. Electric system reliability was at nearly 100 percent, the utility said on Saturday. The temperature hovered around 20 degrees Fahrenehit in the early morning. At a news conference Friday, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman urged county residents to stay inside their homes and off the roads. “Our county is prepared for this event,” Blakeman said. “We have 80 trucks that have been out already since this morning salting the roads, and they are out prepared to do more salting throughout the evening, and they will plow throughout the evening and tomorrow mor ning. We expect this to be a two-day event — what I mean by that is the roads won’t be clear probably until Sunday mor ning.” Blakeman also advised residents to kee p pets indoors and, in case of power outages, not to leave candles unattended in order to avoid fire hazards.

Fourth-graders at West End Elementary School recently delved into Native American culture through a traveling museum that visited the school. Journeys Into American Indian Territory, a Long Island-based traveling museum, visits the school annually and members bring along authentic artifacts and tools used in Native American culture. Students discussed the different roles of men and women in Native American tribes and how their daily items, including hunting tools, were made and used.
Students then toured the museum in the school’s auditorium to get an up-close look at dozens of historical items. They had a hands-on experience feeling animal pelts and manually grinding corn. Lessons on Native American culture aim to show fourth-graders the value of gratitude and working in a community, values that are central to Native American culture.

The Lynbrook girls’ basketball continued its impressive play last Friday, as the Owls beat visiting Plainedge, 61-46. Lynbrook was able to pull away following a neck-and-neck first half. Head coach Stephen LoCicero was impressed with how well his unit was able to respond to the specific matchups the game presented. “We’ve had a dip in the third occasionally this year, but as a team today we figured it out,” LoCicero said. “We pulled our press back to the half court and I think the girls really responded well to understanding the nature of the game so that was a great game for us.” Entering the half, the Owls maintained a 3-point lead, but were able to open the floodgates in the third quarter, as they won the quarter with a 19-8 margin. From there, the Owls were able to lock in defensively, and mitigate the perimeter shooting that kept Plainedge in the game in the first half. For reference, Plainedge guard Julia Foppiano made 4 three pointers in the first half, but only one over the final 16 minutes. She finished with a game-high 20 points. The Owls ball movement was impressive, as there weren’t many junctures of over-dribbling or stagnation. Senior Kaelynn O’Brien was the leading scorer for the Owls, as she finished with 15 points on the evening. She hit two three-pointers and got to the line 8 times. Senior Kyla Nembach was equally as potent, as she was the second-leading scorer for the hosts with 13 points, scoring in similar ways from the perimeter as O’Brien. Junior Caityblu Cavassa was a steady presence on the interior, finishing with 8 points and 12 rebounds. LoCicero was ecstatic with how fluid and unselfish his group played in this game, and how cognizant they were in what each of their roles were. “I think every single girl who got on the floor tonight did their job tonight,” LoCicero said. “They did a great job of playing within themselves. It was kind of like that old ‘do your job’ idea, and they did exactly what they were supposed to do.”

SENIOR KAELYNN O’BRIEN paced Lynbrook with 15 points last Friday afternoon as it knocked off visiting Plainedge, 61-46, for its 10th win overall. Freshman Cate Jennings and Brooke Mazzei each chipped in with 9 points apiece. As LoCicero said: “the young girls in Cate and Brooke played awesome tonight.” Lynbrook holds a 10-4 record, and a 5-3 record within conference A-4. That’s good enough for third place in the conference, although it sits only a game back of Floral Park. The Owls need to finish either .500 or better in A-4 or no worse than fourth
place to qualify for the playoffs. The Owls have four games remaining in the regular season. They will look to continue their push for the playoffs when they face Floral Park and Bethpage this week. They were held to a season-low 31 points by Floral Park in the first meeting. Lynbrook defeated Bethpage 54-32 the first time around behind 20 points from O’Brien, 11 from Nembach, 10 from Jennings and 9 from Mazzei.

man Anthony D’Esposito, a former NYPD detective from Island Park, attended the East Rockaway vigil. He lauded the community for its support of police officers after such a horrific tragedy. “I can tell you that there is nothing more meaningful than returning home from your tour of duty and coming home to a community that supports you,” he said. East Rockaway resident Dineen Cilluffo said she was moved by the ceremony. “It was such a touching vigil,” she said. “I am so proud of our town and how we support our police officers. Two lives cut short for just getting up to do their job. May they rest in peace and God watch over their families.

Officials seek to upgrade fields at schools A RENDERING OF the design for the proposed new fields at Marion Street Elementary and Lynbrook North Middle schools.
CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE lines for football, soccer, lacrosse and field hockey; LED sports lighting; a complete renovation of the parking lot to increase spaces, flow and safety, along with new asphalt and sidewalks; a new playground structure on a safety surface; a basketball court; trees in both the parking lots and play areas for shade; picnic tables and fencing around the parking lot. “The Facilities Committee developed proposals that will continue to improve our buildings and grounds while maximizing the state aid revenue for the district,” Superintendent Dr. Melissa Burak told the Herald after the meeting. “If approved by our community in May, these projects will enhance spaces that will benefit many.” The proposed improvements will be propositions on the May ballot and funded by the district’s capital reserves, so they would be at no additional cost to taxpayers. The potential upgrades come after a new wing was completed at Lynbrook High School late last year after a year and a half of construction. The improvements to the high school were funded by a $28.9 million bond that passed in 2017, and the wing was dedicated to the memory of Alicemarie Bresnihan, who served on the school board for four and a half decades and died of cancer at 85 in May 2020. The two-story, 33,274-square-foot exten-

DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES James Saitta presented an improvement plan. sion stretches from the front of the high school, where the security vestibule is, to the fields. A ribbon-cutting for the new wing took place last September, and was followed by a dedication ceremony in Bresnihan’s honor. The total cost of the 20-year bond that voters approved in 2017 was $33.9 million, $5 million of which was covered by reserve funds. Approval of the bond raised property taxes by $168 per year for the average Lynbrook homeowner. The extension comes after school officials sought upgrades for many years for
several reasons, including cramped classrooms, outdated science equipment and lab stations, and the chorus, orchestra and band being forced to practice in the aging, outdated auditorium because they did not have a proper space. Ideas for improvements that the bond covered came from a group of administrators, faculty members and architects after gathering feedback from students and parents. The first floor of the new addition houses a school store; three music rooms for the school’s band, chorus and orchestra; three art rooms; and an innovation lab for 21st-century learning. The second floor comprises five new classrooms, including two for family and consumer science classes and one for the career
development program. In addition to an updated facade and brickwork at the LHS entrance, there are also extra security features, with visitors having to be buzzed in twice before entering the facility. The cafeteria was also upgraded, with repainted walls, new floors decked out in the green and gold school colors, new windows to provide natural lighting and a courtyard outside where students can congregate during their lunch periods. Class of 2020 graduates buried a time capsule in the courtyard, which will be opened in 2040. The new edition also houses a nurses’ office closer to the high school entrance, which will provide easier access in the event of an emergency.

EXECUTIVE EDITOR
While you can’t tell a book by its cover, sometimes its title covers more of the book than the pages within. Personally I’m blessed with our own perfect local bookstore, Blue Door Books, whose friendly, knowledgeable staff makes finding and buying a book as delightful an adventure as reading it. Last week, however, I was told of a somewhat different (and bizarre) establishment which offers an odd collection of texts whose titles do indeed tell all and, even perhaps a little more, than necessary. What follows is a random sampling of what’s out there to peruse rather than actually read: Under “local interest” we have: ■ “Paradise Regained: Central Avenue in late January”
ments and Intellectual Property” (companion volume to “Recognizing Your Kid’s a Geek”) ■ “101 Uses for Dental Floss” ■ “The Pill that Didn’t Want to be Swallowed” ■ “Straight Jacket: My Twenty Crazy Years in the Men’s Clothing Business”

■ Now your body’s less tense. That’s good. Though you’re still annoyed, your need to be sarcastic or punitive has lessened. Hopefully, you can now become more solution-oriented, as in “If you’re running late, please text me and let me know so I don’t get worried.”
■ You’re miffed that you’ve been kept waiting twenty minutes. ■ What happened? I was getting worried. If you’re running late, in the future please send me a text so I know you’re okay. ■ What’s wrong with you? I told you we were meeting at 6. Can’t you ever be on time?
Person to Person
■ You hate when people go on and on telling their stories with way too much detail. ■ I can’t listen anymore. Can’t you tell me anything without mentioning every little detail?
■ You’re out for a lovely dinner. Someone at the table has spilled their drink. Spouse or friend? ■ Here’s a napkin to wipe it up. I’m glad it didn’t get all over your clothes. ■ Damn! You’ve had enough! Can’t you even hold on to your drink without spilling it? How did you do? I think you get my point. When we’re annoyed with friends, we typically respond respectfully. But when we’re upset with our spouse, many of us forget our manners, responding with ang ry, nasty retorts. So if you admit to forgetting your manners, here are four ways to soften your response to your spouse – even when his/her behavior gets to you. ■ Take a deep breath. Inhaling slowly, exhaling slowly. Repeat. On the last exhale, say a positive affirmation,
real local, real news.
■ When you’re no longer flooded with angry feelings, you can think apadin through how you want to respond, rather than reacting from rage. For example, “Perhaps you’ve had enough drinks for the evening; I hope you agree.” Yes, at times what our spouses do or don’t do will annoy us. This is inevitable. But how we respond to our spouses’ behavior will make the difference between: ■ feeling lonely or loved ■ feeling connected or distant ■ tensions escalating or diminishing ■ relationship is withering or growing.

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

WHAT’S NEWS IN AND OUT OF THE CLASSROOM
HERALD SCHOOLS
Students hit stage for ‘American Champions’ Students at West End Elementary School returned to the stage on Jan. 20 for a performance of their original play, “American Champions.” Coordinated by drama and musical Director Maria Stella Kruh, the play had teams of students representing different fictional schools pitted against one another in a game of trivia with questions based on U.S. history. Questions such as “Who was the first vice president?” and “What’s the name of the national anthem?” were met with responses by student actors who popped up with a multitude of answers — often humorously off-mark. A slew of jokes in the form of answers had the packed audience of families, teachers and administrators bursting with laughter. “American Champions” also featured several original songs, including a twist on the Pledge of Allegiance as a rap in “Allegiance Rap.” Courtesy Lynbrook School District; compiled by Mike Smollins

A. Depending on which way the wind blows, literally, you need to assess the types of storms and the typical direction that storms come from in your area. In the Midwest, storms generally come from the Southwest. In the Northeast, there are nor’easters and southwest storms. Nearer to the Atlantic and Pacific onte eeper oceans, storms head from offshore toward land. Florida can get hit from three directions. What you’re mainly interested in is wind resistance, but keep in mind that you may need to plan to be higher off the ground if you’re in a floodplain. The higher above ground you need to be, the greater the wind speeds will be. It’s best to develop a centrally located room with indirect air ventilation, made of either steel-reinforced poured concrete, steel-reinforced concrete panels or steel-reinforced concrete block. Plain steel can also be used, but the cost may be greater to connect everything. Brick isn’t a structural material, and individual bricks can easily be stripped and hurled like very large bullets by high winds. The more aerodynamic the surfaces of the safe room structure are, the more it will deflect missilelike materials. A round safe room is safer. Just don’t get frustrated if someone tells you to go stand in the corner. The indirect ventilation shaft can be a steel or cast iron pipe turned downward. The point is that you want a durable, indestructible pipe located away from water, gas or electric lines that, if ruptured, could kill occupants who thought they were protected. The vent should also not be pointed directly into the wind. It’s advisable to have an engineer or architect who has training in such safety issues work with you on the specifics. Building code boards have avoided setting standards, even though groups such as the American Society of Civil Engineers have been asking for standards to be addressed. It may eventually come to that, but for now there are no specific standards, mainly because different building associations lobby against them, since standards and required safe rooms would add significantly to the expense of renovations and new homes. When you consider that structural metal connectors and hurricane-resistant windows are already in the code, plus the latest increases in shipping and manufacturing costs, home construction is getting further and further out of reach of the average prospective consumer. Just adding more surface material to your floors, walls and ceilings isn’t going to help you in severe storms. Good luck.

safer from high winds. It’s old, and creaks when we get wind gusts. I looked online at safe rooms, and they’re a lot of work and cost. Is there a cheaper way to make a room — at least one room — safe to go to if we have a tornado, and can we make our house less creaky when windstorms blow?

he strangest clock in the world isn’t a clock. Rather, it’s a simple drawing of one, composed solely of black lines and dots against a white background. The hour hand is pointed straight up, in the 12 o’clock position, and the minute hand is only seconds away from meeting it at midnight. If the two hands merge as one, the world ends in a “civilization-ending apocalypse.” As I write this, the clock is at 1 minute, 40 seconds to midnight. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, SCOTT started by Albert Einstein and the BRINTON University of Chicago scientists who helped build the first atomic bomb during World War II, came up with the Doomsday Clock as an urgent warning to humanity that we must reverse course and move away from nuclear proliferation before we blow ourselves to smithereens, taking the rest of life on Earth with us. The clock is reassessed and reset each January. It marked its 75th anniversary on Jan. 20. With only 100 seconds to midnight, we have never been closer to annihilation than we are now — not even during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, according to the distinguished panel of scientists, which
I
includes 11 Nobel Prize laureates, who have recalibrated the clock this year. The Doomsday Clock has become something of a cultural icon, referenced in novels by Stephen King and Piers Anthony, songs by the Who and the Clash, and comics such as “Watchmen” and “Stormwatch.” It should not be taken lightly, however, and it certainly shouldn’t be seen as the fictional imaginings of mad scientists. It is intended to give us a realistic assessment of our chances of survival as a species. What the clock tells us — screams at us, really — is that we must get it together before it’s too late. We must unite behind a common mission of saving ourselves from extinction. That means dispensing with wild conspiracy theories, ancient superstitions and internecine feuds and seeking science-based solutions to some of the most urgent questions and problems that our species faces, including the continuing nuclear arms race, the climate crisis and out-of-control viral invaders, a.k.a. Covid-19 and all of its many variants. Here’s what the scientists wrote in the news release announcing this year’s Doomsday Clock: “U.S. relations with Russia and China remain tense, with all three countries engaged in an array of nuclear modernization and expansion efforts — including China’s apparent large-scale program to increase its deployment of silo-
W
based long-range nuclear missiles; the push by Russia, China and the United States to develop hypersonic missiles; and the continued testing of anti-satellite weapons by many nations. If not restrained, these efforts could mark the start of a dangerous new nuclear arms race.” Yes, while the coronavirus pandemic has been roiling the world, the planet’s three nuclear superpowers have been steadily ratcheting up their arsenals with new, ever more deadly technologies. The military industrial complex lives, even as people around the globe are falling ill and dying of disease by the millions. You would have thought a global pandemic would bring people together behind a common cause — survival. Instead, we are more divided than ever, and rich nations continue to play a dangerous game of geopolitics. Witness what’s happening in Ukraine these days, with Russia amassing tens of thousands of troops and armaments on the Eastern European nation’s borders, appearing ready to invade for no good reason other than, it seems, Russian President Vladimir Putin wanting to assert his power and regain a modicum of the glory his nation lost with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Interestingly, 1991 was the year that we were furthest from annihilation over the past three-quarters of a century, when the
hile a wellknown clock nears midnight, we ratchet up nuclear arsenals.
Doomsday Clock was at 17 minutes from midnight after President George H.W. Bush and his Soviet counterpart, Mikhail Gorbachev, signed the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty to significantly reduce the number of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles in their stockpiles. As I write this, 8,500 American troops are reportedly headed to Eastern Europe, possibly to Bulgaria, where I served in the Peace Corps, Romania, Hungary and Poland, presumably as a signal to these NATO allies that the U.S. has their back. Ukraine is not a NATO member, so the U.S. is not obligated by treaty to defend its borders if it is attacked. I find it mind-boggling that Putin would bring Europe to the brink of yet another war at any time, let alone amid a worldwide pandemic. His posturing is the very definition of craven. In the U.S., we really must work to eradicate the coronavirus so we can move on to the other pressing issues of survival. We have all the tools that we need to beat Covid-19 except the political will. The clock, though, continues to tick. Now, not later, is the time to put aside our differences for the sake of humanity — for the survival of our species. Science tells us so.

Babies or bulldogs: What’s a couple to do?
hate to even appear to disagree with the pope, but not everyone wants to have children these days. Early last month, according to America magazine, a Jesuit publication, Pope Francis made a casual comment about people wanting to have pets rather than children. Boom! He unleashed a dogfight in the public square. The press went wild. The New York Times said, “Pope Scolds Couples Who Choose Pets Over Kids.” CNN blared, “Opting for pets over children is selfish RANDI and ‘takes away KREISS our humanity,’ says Pope Francis.” According to the Jesuit review, the press sensationalized the pope’s remarks that day. It assured readers that he appreciates the grace of loving a pet, but like most religious leaders, he encourages people to be fruitful and multiply. The puppy issue is a kind of red herring, pardon the cross-species metaphor. There’s the decision whether to have kids, and there’s the cultural sideshow of replac-
ing babies with puppies. Apparently, American women are choosing not to have children in increasing numbers, having nothing to do with pets. Raising a child to age 18 can cost upward of $250,000 (pre-inflation). More women want to move along unimpeded in their professions, and rise in the business world without other responsibilities. Many couples are worried about bringing children into a world fraught with conflict. The other factor playing out in our society is the humanizing of our pets. It seems to follow that if you decide not to have kids but want an outlet for your nurturing genes, a dog is a great idea. But it gets crazy, with dog strollers and individualized diets and dogs welcomed at restaurants and shops and on airplanes. Young dog owners devote the same time and attention to their animals that, in another time and place, they might have dedicated to children. Thus the papal comment on pets. With the new dogs-as-kids paradigm, many 20- and 30-somethings travel with their pets, staying at a growing selection of dog-friendly properties. The W Hotel in
A
New York, like other high-end places, isn’t just pet-friendly, but downright petobsessed. Bring Luke the Lab to the W and he’ll get his own bed, food, water bowl, leash, birthday cake and poop bags. I don’t have to enumerate the ways in which kids are way more trouble than dogs, do I? From teething to toilet training to teaching them to walk and talk, to braces and curfews and weed and sex: what a bother. This is not to mention tutors and religious school and the preteen years, followed by the teen years, followed by the pre-adult years, which last until age 45 or so. I speak from long experience. My dog always listens when I talk. She has never caused me a sleepless night. When I give her a haircut, she doesn’t slam the door and say she hates her life. When I give her chicken for the 60th time, it’s all good. My kids are 47 and 50. My dog is 4. As I curl into my chair at night, who’s right there, snuggled into my lap? Not my kids, for sure. My girl Lillybee never considers “moving on.” She has spurned numerous suitors, threatening to bite any hound that comes too close. The Virgin Queen, as we
pparently, more American women are choosing not to have children.
fondly refer to her, has made us her life’s work. Her devotion is undiluted by conflicting loyalties or hobbies or obsessions with travel or exercise. Can’t say the same for the kids. In the puppy-vs.-tiny human debate, in this time and place of pandemic and peril, going with a pet seems reasonable for all the reasons I mention. But the pope takes a longer and broader view, and at the end of the day, which may come at any moment, he’s right. The future of humanity doesn’t depend so much on a new litter as on a new generation. And according to the Jesuit magazine, it’s part of the pope’s job description to urge his flock to have more babies. The magazine suggests, “There is more to the Pope’s comments than what you read in the headline. It was an offhand comment (about pets), but it also reflects something he believes. And whether you like it or not, the church is probably always going to have an opinion about your personal life and your family. It’s kind of how we do things. And it’s O.K. to wrestle with that and engage with that. That’s all part of the fun.” Between the lines are the epic debates of our time. Still, I appreciate the magazine’s nonconfrontational approach to one of life’s most consequential decisions. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Congress should support maternal health
U
.S. Sen Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from New York, last week called on Congress to provide $7 million to fund evidencebased training programs to reduce implicit bias in maternal health, and $25 million to establish a program to deliver integrated health care services to pregnant women and new mothers that will reduce the inordinately large number of maternal deaths among Black non-Hispanic women. It is an urgent issue, including here in Nassau County, one that the Herald first called on government officials to address in 2019. We are pleased to see that Gillibrand has taken up the cause. Three years ago, the Herald undertook a year-long series examining racism in Nassau. We led with an exposé on issues of maternal health faced by Black women throughout the county. In particular, we looked at the group Birth Justice Warriors, founded by Hofstra University Professor Dr. Martine Hackett and the Rev. Dr. Nellie Taylor-Walthrust, a pastor and the director of outreach services for the North Shore Child Family Guidance Center, a nonprofit mental health agency with offices in Roslyn Heights, Manhasset and Westbury. Among the central issues that Birth Justice Warriors is working to address is infant mortality, which is a leading indicator of a community’s well-being, according to the Nassau County Department of Health’s 2016-18 Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan. When children are dying in high numbers at birth — the start of life — there are probably myriad
LETTERS Bail-reform misperceptions To the Editor: Re the editorial “Bail reform law still needs more tweaking” (Jan. 20-26): The Herald perpetuated a false narrative created by opponents of the law. Contrary to statements designed to sway the public, judges are not prohibited from setting cash bail for someone arrested for gun possession. The repetition of this misperception, common among candidates and police officials, contributes, if not causes, the “high degree of electoral support” for reforming the law. As made clear by the new law, Criminal Procedure Law 510.10(4), cash bail can be set for any qualifying felony enumerated in Penal Law Section 70.02. That section includes the felony offense of possession of a loaded firearm, a Class C violent felony. While it is true that cash bail is not mandatory for such a charge, it is also true that it never was.
other health concerns in a community. In the majority of white communities across Nassau, the infant mortality rate ranged from 0 to 3 in 1,000 births in 201416, according to the state Department of Health. Meanwhile, in most communities of color, the infant mortality rate was three to nine times that. In its annual rankings of healthiest counties in New York, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, working with data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ranked Nassau the second-healthiest of the state’s 62 counties this year. When that data is broken down into individual ZIP codes, however, a disturbing pattern is made clear in communities of color, Hackett said: Babies there are significantly more likely to die during or shortly after birth than in predominately white communities. County officials identified nine communities of color and communities with large minority populations — Elmont, Freeport, Glen Cove, Hempstead, Inwood, Long Beach, Roosevelt, Uniondale and Westbury — with measurably greater health concerns than nearby white communities. Nassau is the 13th-wealthiest county in the U.S., with an average annual household income of around $93,000, according to census data. “The affluence of the county as a whole masks the needs of these severely underserved selected communities,” the county’s report states. Taken as a whole, the infant mortality rate in these communities is “nearly double that of the rest of the county,” the report continues. The knee-jerk reaction is to blame the
discrepancy on a discrete factor like income level, according to Hackett: Women with fewer financial resources are unable to afford the same level of care that women of greater means can. But statistics tell a more complicated story. How, for example, does one explain Elmont, a solidly middle-class community of color with an annual average household income of $94,353, above the county average? It has the second-highest infant mortality rate in Nassau. Access to health care alone “is not sufficient” to explain the disparities in health outcomes, Hackett said. Bias and systemic racism also play their parts, she believes. Clearly, issues of implicit bias, and at times outright racism, come into play, even in the medical field. It’s time that the federal government study and address them so all of us can better understand the psycho-social complexities of the doctor-patient relationship that can determine maternal health outcomes. February is Black History Month. Historically, there is a great deal of mistrust in Black communities of the medical field because of past wrongs, not the least of which was the infamous “Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male” from 1932 to 1972, when Black sharecroppers with the venereal disease were left untreated to see what would happen, even after penicillin, a cure for syphilis, was widely available after 1945. The only way to build trust in Black communities is to address their issues head-on, with science-based studies and programs, as Gillibrand has proposed. Congress thus should appropriate the funds that the senator seeks.

ost New Yorkers want the same thing: a safe, affordable place to raise a family, one where our children can play outside without worry. Many of us commute to New York City, and felt safe for a period in “America’s safest big city,” thanks to the hard work of the New York City Police Department and the “broken windows” model of policing. The broken windows theory holds that visible signs of crime and civil disorder encourage further CHRISTOPHER crime and disorder, including seriCARINI ous crimes. The theory suggests that policing methods that target minor crimes such as graffiti, public drinking, trespassing and fare evasion bring an atmosphere of order and lawfulness. This model took New York City from the murder capital of the country in 1970s to record low crime rates in the early ’90s, creating a renaissance and a booming metropolitan area. New York was back, and home prices skyrocketed in Nassau County. The county’s crime
rates plummeted, and our close proximity to the city made Nassau the place to raise a family. The media at the time praised our law enforcement, our elected officials had their backs, and if you wanted to be elected district attorney, you had to be tough on crime. But something changed, and the media, and some elected officials, turned. We had grown used to our safe neighborhoods, and many forgot, or were too young to remember, the high crime of yesterday. A new movement was on its way to change our system. The first step was not enforcing low-level crimes. Some elected officials ran successfully on the platform of less enforcement. Next up were changes in Albany in criminal justice reform, often referred to as “bail reform.” This law took away judicial discretion in setting bail for misdemeanors and “non-violent” felonies, including stalking, assault without serious injury, burglary, many drug offenses, and even some kinds of arson and robbery. Stripping judicial discretion was a major shift. Judges could no longer set bail for these charges, nor could they
W
e face a crime wave that many fear could move east from New York City.
LETTERS It is also inappropriate to refer to those arrested but not convicted as “of fenders.” Though it may not be popular, there is still a presumption of innocence when bail is first set. While there may be legitimate reasons to revisit the bail statute, it is irresponsible to repeat the lies that are used to gin up public outrage. JAY K. GOLDBERG Woodmere Goldberg, a criminal defense lawyer in New York, was previously a first deputy bureau chief in the Kings County district attorney’s office.

determine the suspects’ risk to the public or the likelihood that they would repeat the crimes. Albany passed this legislation without input from law enforcement professionals, judges or district attorneys. Lawmakers went even further, passing changes that many consider witness intimidation. What’s more, with changes in discovery laws, prosecutors must now provide to the defense the names and contact information of victims and witnesses. The defense is free to contact them, including victims of sexual assault and witnesses to gang violence. Do you doubt this causes victims and witnesses to no longer want to cooperate out of fear or intimidation? Soon the movement demonized the brave men and women of our law enforcement. Calls to “defund the police” began. It became reality when Mayor Bill de Blasio passed a budget that gutted the NYPD budget by $1 billion and disbanded the department’s plainclothes anti-crime units. The result was virtually instantaneous: Violent crime skyrocketed. Shootings, carjackings and homicides rose fast. Now we are faced with a national crime wave that has also affected New York City, not long ago that safest big city

trying to shy away from choosing/reading books that touch on the pandemic or remind us of something similar. I find my attention span wanes or my brain gets cluttered, for whatever reason. Between Covid and turning 55 next week, I guess I’m starting a “new phase” in life. I find that picking shorter books, or books that move quickly, is helpful. Not so much of a commitment on our part, and we can move on to the next thing. An author named Marie Benedict writes historical fiction, focusing on the women behind famous men. We read “The Mystery of Mrs. Christie,” a novel about the days Agatha Christie went missing in 1926. It was a shorter book with chapters that weren’t too long. I also find short stories are good for when we can’t stand anything too complicated. I would love to know what Randi and her group are reading, and I look forward to her next column.

in America, but where many no longer feel safe. It feels like the Gotham of old. Many are concerned that the crime wave could move east, to our backyard. So how can we fix this? We start by electing tough-on-crime district attorneys like we did last election cycle. We must send elected officials to Albany who will demand the repeal of “bail reform,” return judicial discretion and allow victims of crime to feel protected again. We also must send representatives to Washington who will stand up for our law enforcement and change the national narrative. We must all stand up for our police officers. The anti-law enforcement, pro-criminal agenda must end. We must fund and defend our police, not defund them. We must provide the tools, funding and public support to the police to help them do the job of protecting us. It takes someone special to place him or herself in harm’s way for the benefit of others. We must defend those who protect us. The time is now, and together we can turn this around. Christopher Carini is a Town of Hempstead councilman representing the 5th District.
