Revving up support for students Car shows fund scholarships, bring E.R. normalcy By MIKE SMOLLINS msmollins@liherald.com

After the coronavirus pandemic wiped out a summer tradition in East Rockaway last year, the Kiwanis Club car shows have roared and rumbled back, helping the village return to a sense of normalcy. The shows began more than a decade ago when car enthusiast Rich Cittadino started them to bring the village together during the sum-

mer. Cittadino recently retired and moved out of East Rockaway, and the Kiwanis Club has taken over the tradition as a fundraiser for community service projects to continue its goal of “changing the world one community at a time,” President Michaelene Abbott Cooper said. “It’s definitely a very special time for the East Rockaway Kiwanis Club to go from friends to family,” Abbott-Cooper said of having a weekly in-person activity. “It takes all

of the active club members to make the night a weekly success.” Over the years, the car shows have supported many nonprofits, including Mended Little Hearts, which supports children, families and caregivers affected by congenital heart defects; the Little St. Nick Foundation, an East Rockaway-based group that provides hospitalized children with gift bags to reduce anxiety; Camp ANCHOR, a CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

A happy 100th celebration at Lynbrook Atria business school instead. She began working as a records librarian at Queens Hospital. After a few years she went to work for NY Steam Co. First she had charts on meters to calculate the bills on the high billing machine. Later, the company eventually became Con Edison and she remained there for 42 years. Tempia said she had many fond memories with her parents and grandparents over the years. One of her earliest experience with alcohol was when she was a baby crawling. Her grandfather made his own wine for doctors in the area. He used to have what was called a “crock” bottle of wine next to him sitting in his chair. One time while he was taking sips of wine, the bottle was accidentally tipped over and spilled. A crawling curious Tempia drank the wine and fell asleep on the floor. As the story goes, her mom was very worried and her grandmother said, “Don’t worry, put her on the bed let her sleep she will be ok.” Grandma was right. Tempia’s pride and Joy is her family. She has a daughter Lynn, as well as a granddaughter, two great-grandchildren and one great, great granddaughter. In addition to her family, some of Tempia’s favorite things include Brandy Alexander, red whine with cream soda, pot roast with onions, peppers, carrots and mashed potatoes, banana splits, the color blue, the songs “My Way Back” by Frank Sinatra and “Spanish Eyes” by Enelbart Humperdinck. As for her secret to longevity, Tempia said, “You need a lot of help from above and always to have faith.” Courtesy Atria Lynbrook; compiled by Mike Smollins

LYNBROOK/EAST ROCKAWAY HERALD — August 5, 2021

Atria of Lynbrook Assisted Living Facility resident Dorothy Tempia celebrated her 100th birthday on July 27 with friends, family members, fellow centenarians, staff members at the facility and elected officials. There was much fanfare, including balloons and cake. Tempia was born on July 27, 1921, in Manhattan. She was an only child and lived in a four-story tenement building, which housed two families to a floor. The toilet was in a hallway that was shared by the residents on that floor. In the kitchen was a slate tub with a slab to pull to take a bath. When Tempia was 7, her parents bought a house and moved to Queens. Back then it was called Corona. There was no airport, no Grand Central Parkway and no Shea Stadium, which today is Citi Field. The area was changed to Elmhurst and then when Shea Stadium was built in the 1960s, it was considered Flushing. Temapia’s dad was in the trucking business and her mom was a homemaker. Her parents were loving, caring and hardworking. She has seen many changes and advances in her 100 years, she said, some of which was good and others not so good. In 1939, the Tempia’s went to the World’s Fair and saw television for the first time, and Dorothy recalled that then no one ever believed that TV would happen and be such common place in everyone’s homes in years to come. Tempia attended an all-girls Catholic school called Julia Richman High School in Manhattan. She took the L train to school and recounted that she had aspirations to be a nurse, but after graduation, she didn’t want to do it. So, she went to

This year’s proceeds will fund Kiwanis Club high school scholarships, among other projects. Abbott-Cooper described the Monday night outings as “two and a half hours of action-packed entertainment,” as attendees peruse classic and vintage cars and enjoy one another’s company. Each car owner gives a $3 donation to participate. Abbott-Cooper said the shows average about 40 cars per night, which are displayed in a parking lot on Main Street east of the post office. This year, the shows will run every Monday night through Aug. 30. Car owners arrive with their vehicles each week at 4 p.m., and the free viewing of them lasts from 6 to 8 p.m. Additionally, DJ Kenny Kojak plays classic and oldies songs, sponsored by Collision Depot of Oceanside, and local business Villa Maria provides car-side food delivery. There are also weekly raffle prizes from local businesses, including Flowers By Mike, with Oceanside and East Rockaway locations. Owner Mike Graham also provides flowers every other week. East Rockaway Mayor Bruno Romano described the shows as “extremely successful,” and said Cooper and the Kiwanis Club have worked hard to bring the car

Students took virtual field trips and learned about different countries as they stamped their passports each day. The final week’s theme, “Be A Buddy,” focused on social-emotional learning, friendships and how to be a good friend. Students collaborated on friendship projects, played interactive math games and went on reading playdates. “We really wanted to bring in all of our district goals during the summer enrichment academy, but in a fun and interactive way,” Program Coordinator Allison Curran said, according to a school district release.

From July 12 to 29, the Lynbrook School District hosted its summer enrichment academy for rising kindergarten through incoming eighth grade students at Lynbrook North Middle School. In all, 52 students registered for the program, and students had the option to participate in one, two or three weeks. Aligned with the district’s goals, each week centered around a different theme. Week one’s “Game On” theme focused on sports with stories, movement and math and lessons on perseverance. During “Be a World Traveler” in week two, students learned about diversity and how even though everyone is different, there are many ways people are similar.

Dr. Esther Fogel of Comprehensive Audiology has been honored as a 2021 Academy Scholar by the American Academy of Audiology. The honor goes to those who complete a total of 50 continuing education hours over a two-year period. Fogel earned 10.75 CEUs throughout 2019 and 2020. “We applaud her dedication to the field of audiology and commitment to continued professional excellence,” the academy wrote in a social media post. Fogel, an audiologist, has owned and operated Comprehensive Audiology in Lynbrook for nearly five years, and the company has made many efforts to be a part of the community fabric.

After months of lost memories due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Lynbrook High School class of 2020 was surprised with a parting gift from Superintendent of Schools Dr. Melissa Burak — a time capsule filled with their thoughts and memories, which will be buried in the courtyard of the high school’s new addition. On July 29, Burak and Jake Belmont, class of 2020 Student Government Association president, officially sunk the capsule. In advance of the July 2020 graduation ceremony, Burak emailed the seniors and asked for their responses to a few questions. The students shared their favorite moment at Lynbrook High School, what they would have done differently and where they could see themselves in 20 years. The time capsule was also filled with the personal answers and memorabilia related to the class of 2020. At their 20th high school reunion in 2040, the time capsule will be opened to enable the class to reflect on their senior year. “I wanted to do something special for the class of 2020 because no one could have ever imagined the last three months of their time spent in the Lynbrook schools would have ended in the manner it did,” Burak said, according to a school district release. “They deserve something to look forward to in 2040.”

Speaking to the Herald on July 30, Dr. Sharma said that Mount Sinai has seen an increase over the last week in their Covid patient census. Where the hospital saw one to two cases a day in June, they saw eight between July 29 and 30. Those new cases among patients have universally been seen in unvaccinated individuals. “The challenge with Delta is that it is extremely transmissible,” Dr. Sharma said. “Even vaccinated individuals are getting Delta and we are seeing that in our staff.” Dr. Sharma said that most of the cases the hospital has seen has come from travel. “We came out of the box, and we may have to go back in the box for a little bit,” Dr. Sharma said. “That’s going to be challenging and I think we are going to see a lot of Covid cases as a result of that.” According to Dr. Sharma, the Delta variant has manifested itself in a slightly different symptom profile for milder cases, though the hospital is not seeing as many critically ill patients at the moment. “Hopefully that will continue to be the case, but this could just be the early part of the curve,” Dr. Sharma said. The CDC currently estimates that the Delta variant accounted for 82.2 percent of Covid cases from July 4 to July 17 nationally. On July 27 the CDC updated its mask recommendations, advising that fully vaccinated people wear masks in public indoor settings in areas of substantial or high transmission, a classification that Nassau County currently falls into. According to the CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) published on July 27,

MOUNT SINAI SOUTH Nassau has seen a slight uptick in Covid cases.

Covid cases increased by approximately 300 percent nationally between July 19 and July 23. That increase was driven by the Delta variant. “We are fortunate in Nassau that we have a very high vaccine acceptance rate,” Dr. Sharma said. “But despite that, we are seeing infection rates approaching three percent and that is problematic. We would not expect such high numbers with all of our vaccinated population.” Dr. Sharma said those numbers exemplify how potent the

Delta variant is. The potency of the variant could be especially challenging during the fall and winter when outdoor activities will become more and more difficult. “The only way that we can get this virus under control is through significant mass vaccination, around 90 percent, and having the virus stop spreading from person to person,” Dr. Sharma said. “Unfortunately, with the trajectory we are on right now Covid is going to be with us for quite some time.”

State invests in at-risk youth to curb gun violence carroyo@liherald.com

Two weeks after Governor Cuomo issued a first-in-the-nation executive order declaring gun violence a disaster emergency, on July 21 he announced the state would invest $16 million to fund workforce training and job placement programs for at-risk youth in 20 cities most impacted by gun violence. Nassau County will receive $900,000 to serve 180 at-risk unemployed, underemployed and out-of-school 18- to 24-year olds, and Hempstead, $500,000 for 100, as the state identified Hempstead and Uniondale as gun violence hotspots earlier this month. This brings the state’s total commitment to reducing gun violence to $154.7 million. County Executive Laura Curran said she fully suppor ts the initiative. “The county intends to support State Executive Order 211 on Gun Violence with additional American Rescue Plan funds for community violence intervention, such as summer youth employment opportunities in gun violence hotspots.” The Nassau County Police Department recently announced that while major crime are down across the board, gunshot incident numbers countywide are up. In 2020, with most

people staying indoors because of the coronavirus pandemic, there were 68 shots fired. This year so far, however, there have been 95 shots fired, a 39 percent increase. From 2009 to 2019, NCPD had reported a reduction of 36.5 percent in firear mrelated violent crimes, as well as a decrease of 27.5 percent in shooting incidents involving injury and of 14.3 percent of shooting victims from 2014 to 2019. The NCPD assembled a gun-suppression team last year, taking 40 guns off the street. In 2021, the team has surpassed that number. Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said during a July 1 news conference that the department had been working with federal partners on the issue of guns arriving in the county from ANDREW areas down South, which he CUOMO said was due to Covid-19. Governor “Gun violence is a public health crisis in New York state and across the country, and we’re attacking it with the same comprehensive, evidence-based approach we used to beat Covid,” Cuomo said. “We know

that simply telling kids to put the gun down doesn’t work—we have to give them an alternative.” Dr. Chethan Sathya, director of the Northwell Health Gun Violence Prevention Center, called gun violence a public health crisis. “Looking at this issue as a public health crisis does two things: It helps us de polarize and depoliticize this issue…and it also helps us apply a public health model to combat this, just like we did for substance abuse, HIV, tobacco use and automotive collisions in the past.” The Northwell Health Gun Violence Prevention Center is working to identify programs and strategies that may be effective. “Right now, no one knows what works and what doesn’t,” Sathya said, “because gun violence prevention received less research funding than any other leading cause of death in the past decades.” He also emphasized there are many reasons for gun violence, and solving the crisis should be multi-faceted.

un violence is a public health crisis.

“Gun violence disproportionally affects African-American youth, so by elevating racial equity and reducing disparities, then we can have an impact at curbing gun violence, as well as a multitude of other issues such as food insecurity and go on,” he said. County Legislator Kevan Abrahams, a Democrat from Freeport whose district includes large portions of communities affected by gun violence, said, “Because I have seen firsthand how internships, mentoring and professional development programs can place young people on the path toward a brighter and more successful future, I’m especially excited to work with my colleagues at every level to ensure that we maximize the positive impact of this initiative.” Laura Burns, of Rockville Centre, who is running for the County Legislature in the 6th District, and who has been a longtime advocate for gun-violence prevention with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, said, “Communities faced with the daily threat of gun violence require immediate and locally driven interventions — initiatives such as violence interruption programs, green spaces and youth programming help reduce gun violence.”

By CRISTINA ARROYO RODRIGUEZ

MSSN is named to list of best hospitals Mount Sinai South Nassau ranked among the Best Regional Hospitals in the metropolitan area and earned eight “high performing” badges for specific service areas, according to the latest U.S. News & World Report 2021-22 “Best Hospital” rankings. The eight areas rated “high performing” at Mount Sinai South Nassau are: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure, orthopedics, stroke, and urology. The U.S. News rankings are independently conducted by the magazine’s editorial staff and are among the most recognized hospital scorecards in the nation. “Mount Sinai South Nassau’s patients are the ultimate judges of how we are doing, and they have increasingly been putting their confidence in us to provide them with the health services they need,” said Richard J. Murphy, Mount Sinai South Nassau’s president and CEO. “These rankings are an affirmation of what we already know—that Mount Sinai South Nassau is among the very best hospitals in our area, especially on the South Shore of Long Island.” “Our staff—from the housekeeping and dietary teams to the nurses and physicians—all work collaboratively to focus on what our patients need,” said Dr. Adhi Sharma, chief medical officer and executive vice president of clinical and professional affairs. “It’s truly a family atmo-

U.S. NEWS & World Report recognized Mount Sinai South Nassau for excellence. sphere here at Mount Sinai South Nassau. We are big enough to provide the best and latest care, but we have never lost our focus on the community, our patients and their families’ needs. That’s what sets us apart. The pandemic challenged us like never before, but we came through it, and the latest U.S. News rankings are yet another recognition of what we have achieved as a team.” To be ranked in Best Hospitals for the New York Metro area, Mount Sinai South Nassau had to achieve a top rating in at

least six types of care -- a feat achieved by barely 10 percent of U.S hospitals. The metro area rankings are relevant to a much wider range of health care consumers. They are aimed primarily at consumers whose care may not demand the special expertise found only at a nationally ranked “Best Hospital.” Patients and their families have a far better chance of finding a U.S. News-ranked hospital in their health insurance network and might not have to travel to get care at one of the nationally ranked hospitals.

Now in its 29th year, the U.S. News “Best Hospitals” rankings help guide patients who need a high level of care because they face particularly difficult surgeries, challenging conditions or added risk because of other health problems or age. To produce the rankings, U.S. News evaluates data on roughly 5,000 hospitals in 16 adult specialties, nine adult procedures and conditions, and 10 pediatric specialties. To be nationally ranked in a specialty, a hospital must excel in caring for the sickest, most medically complex patients. Mount Sinai South Nassau is the Long Island flagship hospital of the worldrenowned Mount Sinai Health System. The Mount Sinai Hospital is ranked No. 17 nationally by U.S. News & World Report. Its Department of Geriatrics earned the No. 1 spot in the nation in geriatrics for the second consecutive year, and 10 specialties are ranked among the nation’s elite hospitals: Cancer No. 32; Cardiology/Heart Surgery No. 6; Diabetes No. 10; Ear, Nose, and Throat No. 24; Gastroenterology/GI Surgery No. 15; Neurology/Neurosurgery No. 10; Orthopedics No. 14; Pulmonology/Lung Surgery No. 20; Rehabilitation No. 14, and Urology No. 16. New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, America’s oldest specialty hospital and one of the world’s leading facilities for the treatment of diseases of the eyes, ears, nose, and throat — was nationally ranked in

Joining them were, from left, Lynbrook Deputy Mayor Michael Hawxhurst, Trustees Robert Boccio, Laura Ryder and Ann Marie Reardon, Mayor Alan Beach and Jeff Greenfield, who helped organize the event.

BEACH AND GREENFIELD thanked attendees for supporting the Lynbrook Community Chest.

“looks beautiful,” calling it a good fit for the Yorkshire section of the village, and the company has fielded many calls from interested renters. “There’s really a great energy around it,” he said, “and we’re very excited.” Daikin’s Lynbrook showroom opened in November 2019. It features residential products from the largest heating, ventilation and air conditioning manufacturer worldwide. Daikin, which has been in business for nearly a century, is headquartered in Osaka, Japan, and employs more than 70,000 people. In 2012, the company purchased Goodman Global Group, a leading manufacturer of residential HVAC in the U.S., and Daikin North America LLC was created. The company built an office, laboratory and showroom in Texas, and then branched out to Lynbrook. Daikin uses “air intelligence” and sophisticated technology to heat and cool rooms. Its products are sold in more than 140 countries, including throughout North America. Since the early 1930s, the company has provided heating and cooling solutions and offered innovations in HVAC systems, according to company

officials. Fraser-Mifsud did not return requests for comment about the honor, but at a grand opening celebration in 2019, he said he looked forward to becoming a part of the Lynbrook community. “This is so exciting, and the buzz we’re feeling in the room right now as an organization, new to Long Island and new to this county, is absolutely exceptional,” he said at the time. “We really do deeply appreciate everybody for joining us on this very special evening, so thank you very much.” The Mayor’s Golf Outing festivities began with registration and brunch at 9:30 a.m., followed by a noon shotgun start. After the golfing was over, attendees packed the country club in the evening for the event’s annual dinner and cocktail party, where Bartone and Mifsud were honored. The amount of money raised for

the Community Chest was not finalized at press time, and Brian Curran, the chairman and former state assemblyman, did not return a request for comment at press time. Beach said both businessmen are “great representatives for their” companies, and noted that Daikin also has a school that partners with Nassau BOCES to prepare young people on how to be environmentally friendly in their practices. The company aims be 80 percent carbon-free by 2050, the mayor said. “Terwilliger and Bartone brought their professionalism and integrity to our village,” Beach said. “They are a business that worked with Lynbrook every step of the way to develop a project that would blend into the area seamlessly. Daikin has invested in Lynbrook. They developed a state-of-the-art facility on Sunrise Highway to showcase their products.”

A. Mold is a living organism that, just like you and me, must eat and drink to stay alive. You’re looking for the source of moisture that keeps your mold alive, but it may be hidden in plain sight. As I have often onte eeper explained, when looking for the moisture source, follow gravity and look to the highest points above the area where the mold occurs. Even the most well kept exterior can have the tiniest of openings where trickles of water get in. If you’re satisfied that the roof, siding, gutters and window-to-wall connections aren’t the problem, then look at the places where wires, pipes and chimneys penetrate or join the house. You may find that a cable coming through the wall wasn’t sealed, an electric meter has a conduit hole behind it, etc. After having explored and sealed any of those areas, if the problem still persists, it may not be in plain sight after all, and you may have to do some digging. Before that, however, look for internal issues, such as the humidity level in the basement. Determine how much of the time the dehumidifier has to run, and how much moisture the equipment is pulling out of the room. Are all of the basement windows closed? Are cold-water pipes creating condensation, and do any of the joints of the pipes look corroded from a possible leak? I’ve even seen where the wrong kind of pipe hangers were used, causing a trade-off of electrons in dissimilar metals, called electrolytic action, which corrodes the side wall of the pipe, eventually opening up the pipe to leaking. Then we come to the most extreme culprit, the hidden one that probably will take the most effort to resolve: the outside of the basement walls. Your home was built at a time when the masonry block industry was evolving from using real cinders from burned wood in manufacturing to becoming completely made of concrete, mainly because the consistency and strength were greater, and there was more control of the way the block was being made. Unfortunately, almost nothing lasts forever, and the coating on the exterior of the foundation walls was a tar-like product that has probably turned to dust. By digging in the area of the mold, you can confirm this, and then the exterior foundation walls would need to be “scarified” (cleaned) and re-coated. Good luck!

Q. I have a home that was built in the 1920s, and I moved some shelves in my basement recently only to discover black mold on the wall. My basement is a little musty most of the time and I run a dehumidifier, so I was surprised to see such a buildup of mold. I keep the house in excellent condition, and there are no leaks anywhere that I know of. Can you tell me what to look for, since this mold is on the cinder block near Ask The the boiler, even though it’s Architect dry around the boiler?

OPINIONS

ack in the old days when people used to tell jokes, one of my favorite one-liners was, “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help you.” It always elicited a few laughs, but I made it clear that the role of government, dating back to 1776, is exactly that. In times of crisis, no private organization is going to step forward to help us weather a health scare or any other challenge. It’s the job of government to be there for us in times of need. The more I think about it, the JERRY current attacks on the nation’s effort KREMER to battle the coronavirus pandemic and the persistent undermining of public health measures are a national disgrace, and history will record them as such. And the people who are the fomenters of “health hate” should be treated in the same way as the hundreds of people who were arrested for participating in the Jan. 6 insurrection. The arrival of Covid-19 in January 2020 wasn’t the first time in the coun-

try’s history that we asked our health professionals to provide relief and assurance. In 1918, the nation was decimated by the flu pandemic. In 2002, we had the severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, scare. In 2004, America learned of the H5N1 avian influenza, or bird flu, which necessitated the destruction of millions of chickens to keep us safe. In all of those cases, America turned to agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. We followed the media reports, looking for assurances that no serious illness would invade our homes and upset our daily life. During those times, people like Dr. Anthony Fauci and others stood behind lecterns with charts and graphs. They assured the country in measured words that the government was trying its best to protect us. When the Covid-19 plague hit our shores last year, the two federal agencies were the first to alert us of a possible new virus that had developed in China. Did they get it right from the beginning? Not knowing how serious it was, they

made a few miscalculations on the issue of masks and how quickly the virus might spread, but their job was made even harder by a president who didn’t want to talk about the coronavirus because it would interfere with his reelection plans. It was at that point until that a lifeor-death challenge became a political football, and it remains one today. Instead of one nation united, we have red and blue states fighting over mask requirements. We have so-called elected officials discouraging their constituents from getting vaccinated. We have media personalities such as Fox’s Tucker Carlson, who rails against vaccines even though, according to media reports, he has been vaccinated, as has most of the staff at Fox News. And then we have a variety of public officials mocking the doctors and the vaccine. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who sees himself as a possible president, is selling T-shirts making fun of Doctor Fauci. In the meantime, Florida is now one of the states with the largest number of new reported Covid cases. To add to his arrogance, DeSantis is fighting with the

t’s too late in the game to expect there to be a united effort to stop Covid’s ravages.

cruise ship industry over its insistence on checking boarding passengers for symptoms of the virus. Political stupidity when it comes to protecting the public isn’t confined to any party. It is hard to imagine that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of a great political legend, is traveling around the nation, discouraging people from getting vaccinated. For many in the anti-vaccination movement, Kennedy is considered their No. 1 hero. His poor dad must be turning over in his grave. It’s too late in the game to expect there to be a united effort to stop Covid from ravaging our country. Innocent people will continue to die as a result of raw politics. Families will continue to lose cherished members of all ages. There’s a lesson to be learned about politicizing disease, but it seems that no one who needs to hear it is willing to listen. The coronavirus scourge isn’t over, and there will be many more losers thanks to a handful of political losers. 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.

Where have all the human beings gone?

t’s been a long time since I took a pregnancy test, but it was the perfect application of what passed for high tech in its day: private, accurate and consequential. Today, as technology advances, we are pushed beyond our skill sets without the benefit of human helpers. Self-sufficiency is fine, but I miss having real human beings to answer questions or tell me that the bathing suit I’m checking out is going on sale next week. I miss having people who RANDI know more than I KREISS do about a problem. When I go online to return an item, I must engage with a chat bot who has programmed answers. Round and round we go, with me having no way to tell Chat that my new shoe had a dead roach in the heel. I had a foreshadowing of our new doit-yourself world some 25 years ago, when my snazzy Dell desktop ran amok. One call led to another, until I reached a supervisor who said he would talk me

through the fix. “First,” he said, “get a screwdriver.” This did not sound cool. “Now, take off the back of the tower,” he said. I really didn’t want to open the back of the tower, but I did, and moved the wires he told me to move, and it fixed the problem. The house-call service industry was in its death throes. Last week I saw an ad for a cardio phone app that can alert you if your heart rate is too fast or too slow. How is that helpful? Will it tell you you’re having a heart attack? If you have chest pain and an erratic heartbeat and your phone tells you you’re OK, what do you do? This is the perfect scenario for a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing. I wonder if cardiologists are getting false alarms from patients who get false alarms from their wristwatches. One cardiac patient offered this testimonial to his heart monitor: “This is an amazing little monitor! I recently began having heart palpitations in the middle of the night, and it’s very easy to just check my heart rhythm with my device to make sure I’m not having any serious arrhythmias. It has given me so much

peace of mind!” How is this OK? What if the dude is reading his gizmo wrong? What if the gizmo isn’t accurate? Why not just call your doctor? Actually, I know the answer to that. Answering services are understaffed. It’s hard to reach your doctor in the middle of the night. A trip to the ER is a drag. One cardio app offers a “premium” subscription, which raises the question of what makes it premium? Does it monitor you less rigorously if you don’t upgrade? Do you get a refurbished monitor if you look for a bargain? Now we can also buy portable ECG monitors for under $100 that you can carry in your pocket and glance at from time to time to see if your heart is behaving. The proliferation of these medical devices, available to the public, makes my own heart race. During Covid we all learned to do some things we had relied on experts to do before the pandemic. I’d never heard about an oximeter before 2020, but when my husband got the sniffles, I regularly checked his O2 levels to be sure it wasn’t

the virus. I cut our hair and figured out how to fix our TV because we couldn’t let a service person in. The problem is that now, even though we’re drifting back to normal, some do-it-yourself chores are here to stay. I check out my own groceries because no one is at the registers. I check out my own purchases at the big stores, and I read my own lab reports on the patient portals because I want my results sooner rather than later. I book my own flights and make all changes online because I can’t get a human being to pick up. All the work I’ve done in my life, aside from writing, which is a solitary endeavor, bonded me with other people in real time. I taught, I tutored, I lectured, and it was a way to nurture human connections. In airports, subways and stores, kiosks go unmanned and unwomaned. We are increasingly on our own, without micro-connections to humanize our days. I see a time when virtual schooling could be universal. We will educate ourselves, order our food online, repair our own equipment and, heaven forbid, maybe operate on ourselves if the lesion is small and the instructions are good.

Taking a shot at reducing gun violence

orking to decrease gun violence is a no-brainer, but how to go about reducing the number of shootings, injuries and fatalities caused by guns is proving to be a question whose answers are hard to decide on. Law enforcement officials say that getting guns off the streets enhances public safety, and that reducing the number of guns generally leads to a decline not only in shootings, but also in other crimes. The Nassau County Police Department recently noted that while major crimes like arson, burglary, homicide, kidnapping and rape were down across the board, gunshot incident numbers are ticking upward. In 2020, when a majority of people remained at home as the coronavirus pandemic raged, there were 68 shots fired across Nassau. This year, with the county opening up again, there were 95 shots fired from January through the end of July, a 39 percent increase thus far. From 2009 to 2019, the NCPD reported a reduction of 36.5 percent in gun-related violent crimes, and a 27.5 percent decrease in shooting incidents that resulted in injury. From 2014 to 2019, there was a 14.3 percent decline in the number of people shot. NCPD officials say taking firearms off the street has brought about those improvements. Its gun suppression team collected 40 guns in 2020, and has surpassed that

LETTERS Opioid settlement is a big win To the Editor: State Attorney General Letitia James recently announced settlements with three of the nation’s largest opioid distributors related to their culpability in accelerating the ongoing opioid drug crisis on Long Island. At a news conference announcing the settlements with McKesson, Cardinal Health and Amerisource Bergen, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said that the county’s total share of the settlements paid by the “big three” could reach as much as $86.8 million. This announcement represents another giant step forward in our quest to end the devastating opioid drug crisis that continues to plague our society. The County Legislature’s Democratic minority is committed to working closely with Curran’s administration, public health experts and other key stakeholders to devise a strategic plan for applying these funds to amplifying and delivering the treatment, education and pre-

number this year, officials said. To enhance the work being done by the police, the county has embraced the state gun violence initiative announced in July by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who called gun violence a public health crisis. In making the announcement, Cuomo noted that there had been 26 shootings across the state over the Fourth of July weekend, including three on Long Island. As part of the state’s new initiative, Nassau will receive $900,000 of a total of $16 million to help 180 18- to 24-year-olds who are unemployed, out of school and considered at risk of potentially becoming involved in crime. Another $500,000 will go to the Village of Hempstead to help 100 people in the same age group. Uniondale was also identified as a gun violence hot spot. County Executive Laura Curran has said she supports Cuomo’s executive order. We endorse it as well. We believe the problem of gun violence should be seen more as a public health issue than as a recurring problem in only one portion of the community. As Dr. Chethan Sathya, the director of Northwell Health’s Gun Violence Prevention Center, noted, viewing the issue of gun violence through the lens of public health helps to depolarize and depoliticize it, and encourages the use of a public health model similar to the efforts to reduce traffic accidents, cigarette smoking, the transmission of HIV/

AIDS and substance abuse. The more money and research that can be dedicated to gun violence prevention, the more likely officials will be to determine what works and what doesn’t, Sathya said. “We can’t afford not to commit ourselves 100 percent to this effort,” the advocacy group New Yorkers Against Gun Violence group tweeted of the state initiative. We agree. But it also needs the support of other organizations — groups that support guns, respect their responsible use and understand their power as a destructive force — every day, more than a hundred Americans are killed by guns, and 230 are shot and wounded, according to the nonprofit Every Town for Gun Safety. To help make the state initiative work, the Department of Labor will join forces with local workforce development boards and their networks of community partners to provide job training, certification and career placement services. In addition, gun violence intervention and prevention strategies will be coordinated by the state’s Division of Criminal Justice Services and the Office of Victim Services. We also call on the National Rifle Association and all other legitimate regional and local gun organizations to join the battle against gun violence by using their influence to help ensure that that violence can be reduced to the point where the state’s program is no longer needed.

OPINIONS

here has been a fixation on comparison throughout the coronavirus pandemic. First came the comparison of cases, the seismic shock of northern Italian coronavirus news that woke up the world to the severity of the virus. Inevitably came the comparison of death rates, from China to the United Kingdom to the U.S. and, slowly, everywhere in between. As we have watched countless graphs of data ebb and flow over the past 16 months, only one measure has shed light on a JEMIMA potential end: vaccination rates. DENHAM Having experienced the entirety of the pandemic as a college student at Georgetown University, I have been surrounded by variations on the question, “When will this end?” I have not had an in-person class since early March 2020, when my peers and I all assumed that Covid could not possibly last longer than a few weeks. How naive we all were. Naivety aside, however, I soon began to acclimatize to the world of virtual education in a different time zone, in my hometown of London. Amid the “Zoom

fatigue,” shaky Wi-Fi and the irony of feeling detached from friends but claustrophobic with family, reminding myself that all these would hopefully bring this bizarre way of life to an end seemed like a good enough incentive. Cue the coronavirus vaccine. I first heard of the inoculations early this spring. Finally, thoughts of socializing with my friends on campus, meeting my professors to continue conversations outside lecture halls and being late to class because I had to run down a hallway, not because my Wi-Fi was intermittent, began to piece together as a realistic future. Six months after the vaccine rollout worldwide, however, this phase of the pandemic has caused, as much as quelled, a general feeling of anxiety. Hesitancy about the vaccine has perhaps provided a more interesting point of comparison than numbers and charts. It is certainly a topic that has produced an unprecedented emotional response on both ends of the spectrum. While I can only speak from the experience of being predominantly surrounded by American and British college-age students, the viewpoints I have heard on the vaccine very quickly offer insightful indicators of people’s political and cultural standpoints. Nonetheless, they present

Entertainment venues will get grants To the Editor: Ninety-four Long Island live-entertainment venues will receive a total of more than $51 million from the federal Shuttered Venue Operators Grants Program. Since the pandemic began, I have been a strong advocate for the establishment of the relief program, rallying with venue operators across New York in calling for relief for live venues. The SVOG program was initially plagued by technical challenges, which have since greatly improved. In Congress, I routinely advocated for improvements to the program. My efforts were successful, and the Small Business Administration has now approved 9,884 grants nationally, including 1,142 in New York. Grants will continue to be distributed on a rolling basis. On March 22, 2020, non-essential businesses in New York shut down. Their

something deeper, and more interesting, than a political affiliation: whether individuals believe their singular actions can help reduce the global devastation of the virus. Moreover, they have highlighted for me where my generation perceives it stands among all this mess. Like many of my contemporaries at Georgetown, I was eager to get the shots. While I was double-vaccinated by late May, life remained fairly similar for the vaccinated and unvaccinated in the Washington area during the early vaccine rollout. But it became clear that there were tangible benefits for vaccinated people early this summer. From less social distancing to optional mask wearing, it allowed experiences that resembled a sense of pre-pandemic normalcy. On the other side of the pond, the U.K. saw a hasty vaccine rollout in late winter that eclipsed any American efforts. Unfortunately, this initial success has crumbled amid our confusing “traffic light” travel rules, spiraling virus cases and declining trust in the government’s handling of the situation as we edge into a possible fourth wave. While the root of these issues can be pinned on Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s reluctance to ban travel from places where the Delta variant originated until it

was deemed too late, there is something to be said about the link between vaccine rates and incentives. Unlike the U.S., the U.K. did not employ an incentive scheme for vaccines. This promoted the realistic message that a vaccine wasn’t a quick fix to the complexity of the pandemic, but provided an important step in a return to normalcy. However, I have seen an unprecedented and surprising hesitancy toward the vaccine among younger people over the summer in the U.K. “I won’t get that sick, I don’t need it,” “It’s too much of an effort” and “It’s too new to trust” are some of the sentiments I’ve heard repeatedly. While I sympathize with these concerns, the general lack of motivation is disturbing. Vaccine hesitancy is a direct comparison that can be made across generations, political affiliations and nationalities. However, almost everyone offered the vaccine has also had to question whether they want to take accountability for the trajectory of the virus. Undoubtedly, the short-term consequences and potential side effects must not be underestimated. But this stage of the pandemic also presents a perhaps once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: become a key stakeholder in the global fight against the coronavirus by being vaccinated.

FRAMEWORK by Joe Abate

reopening and recovery has been uneven ever since. I’m relieved that the Small Business Administration heeded our call to improve and expedite the approval process to deliver this critical aid to impacted businesses as soon as possible. Local businesses like these contribute too much to the spirit and culture of our communities and economy for us to do nothing. The SVOG program was established through the bipartisan Covid-19 relief package passed last December. As a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus, I was part of the bipartisan coalition of lawmakers who crafted the framework that the relief package was built on. I also helped secure additional funding for the SVOG program through the American Rescue Plan, to total over $16 billion in grants for shuttered venues in order to keep businesses afloat and workers on the payroll. The American Rescue Plan also instituted a fix to ensure that shuttered venues that received Paycheck Protection Program loans after Dec. 27, 2020, can also receive Small Venue Operators grants, as long as the grants are reduced by the amount of PPP funds provided. Applying for both grant programs was previously prohibited. TOM SUOZZI U.S representative, 3rd District
