All of us at the Herald Community Newspapers were frightened by the coronavirus pandemic when it reached Nassau County in early March. Some of us were sickened by Covid-19, and some were even hospitalized. But we had a job to do. We were, as Gov. Andrew Cuomo called us, “essential workers,” relaying vital information people needed to know to stay healthy and survive this potentially deadly disease. S o we d i d what we knew how to do — reported the news, day in, day out, for weeks on end. Suddenly, we were no longer a weekly newspaper. We were a daily, publishing the news online at liherald.com and in our daily newsletter. Hundreds of thousands of people came to our website for the latest news. The pandemic stretched us to our limits, but we never broke. We were with you throughout, and our pledge is to remain with you until all of us return to normal life — or whatever our lives will be in the new normal. Producing the news, however, is a costly endeavor. We must pay the salaries of reporters, editors, photographers, graphic artists, advertising account executives, dd 1

Lynbrook, E.R. schools prep for fall District officials provide options for learning By JUliA SwerdiN lyneditor@liherald.com

With Gov. Andrew Cuomo announcing on Aug. 7 that schools across the state were authorized to reopen this fall, Lynbrook and East Rockaway administrators have provided several learning options. The state Covid-19 infection rate is now less than 1 percent, and must remain below 5 percent for schools to offer in-per-

son instruction, according to World Health Organization recommendations. Local elected officials and school superintendents have weighed reopening plans, and parents now must decide whether to send their children to school. “I appreciate the governor giving us the opportunity to reopen,” Lynbrook Board of Education President William Belmont said. “Hopefully our plans will allow our students to

remain safe and optimize their learning experiences.” The Lynbrook district formed a task force, comprising more than 100 members, to determine how to reopen. The district submitted its plan to the State Education Department on July 31. Students entering kindergarten through 12th grade will have two options. Students in kindergarten through fifth grade can Continued on page 29

Dolphin that was trapped in Mill River dies By Mike SMollinS msmollins@liherald.com

A dolphin that was trapped in East Rockaway’s Mill River for weeks was discovered dead, according to the NY Marine Rescue Center. The cause of death is unknown. “The staff is extremely upset about this turn of events and will share the necropsy results when they become available,” the rescue center, a nonprofit based in Riverhead, wrote on Facebook, noting tests were being done to determine the cause. Before rescuers could begin a herding operation to bring the dolphin out of the shallow river and into the ocean, they were unable to find the mammal. It was later found dead in the Far Rockaway, Queens area and recovered by the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society. Maxine Montello, the director for the NY Marine Rescue Center, said that when searchers went to find the dolphin on Aug. 13, it ended up swimming south of Lazy Lobster in East Rockaway. Their team then surveyed the site via land, water and air, but could not find the dolphin. “We didn’t attempt intervention until [Aug. 13] to give the animal a chance to move out of the area on its own,” she explained. “Due to the location of the animal and its active behavior, stranding network biologists, dolphin experts and veterinarians determined that safe intervention options for this care were very limited.”

Mayor, developer honored for Cornerstone msmollins@liherald.com

Standing at the site that once housed the controversial Capri Lynbrook Motor Inn on Aug. 6, Mayor Alan Beach and developer Anthony Bartone accepted Vision Long Island’s Smart Growth Award in front of a construction site and mounds of dirt where a luxury apartment complex will soon stand. The 80-unit, $24 million Tudor-style Cor nerstone at Yorkshire apartment complex project will put to an end a decades-long attempt by village officials to shut down the Capri. The motel was razed in June, and the Farmingdale-based Terwilliger & Bartone Properties will build the apartment complex. The project also ends a long and arduous attempt by Terwilliger & Bartone representatives to develop in the village. “It was a long and hard effort on our part,” Beach said. “Terwilliger & Bartone really hung in there and we battled together. The fact that they were able to get to the community and explain exactly how the project was going to move forward did make the project a lot easier.” Beach and Bartone were each presented with awards by Eric Alexander, the executive director of Vision Long Island, a Northport-based company that promotes downtown redevelopment, The awards are given to projects that Vision Long Island believes are crucial to the revitalization of downtowns across Long Island, while increasing the density, and by extension, economic viability of communities in the area. Alexander said the project helps remove a blight on the community, and also thanked

the Lynbrook Chamber of Commerce, village board and the developers for supporting the project. “Clearly, there were issues on this site, we like to see redevelopment transform communities,” he said. “We like to see the public plugged into the planning process, there were public meetings to guide this project, that’s part of it. We even like to see adjacent uses come to life.” While receiving the honor, Bartone, a managing partner for Terwilliger & Bartone, thanked village officials, Vision Long Island, the chamber, his construction team, his partners and his financial backers for their support. “It’s truly an honor,” he said. “I thank Vision Long Island. I thank the mayor and the village, and we look forward to maybe this being the first of many to come here.” Attendees at the event included Beach, Bartone, Alexander, Deputy Mayor Michael Hawxhurst, Trustee Ann Marie Reardon and representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, including President Steve Wangel, who lauded the anticipated positive impact the project would have on the village’s economy. “It’s going to wind up being a luxury rental that’s bringing new people into the community,” he said. “A demographic that loves to shop locally, a demographic that will really enhance our community. I can’t say enough about this project.” The apartment complex will be built at 5 Freer St., where the Capri had operated since 1985. Parking will extend to nearby Roxy Place. There will be eight two-bedroom apartments that will rent for about $3,400 per month, 44 one-bedroom units

Beach spoke about the importance of the project. that will cost roughly $2,800 and 28 studios, which will be about $2,300 per month. Eight units will be set aside as workforce housing, which, under Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations, must have reduced rents for households earning up to 80 percent of the median income for the area. In February, the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency granted Terwilliger & Bartone a mortgage-recording tax abatement, a sales-tax abatement and a 20-year payment- inlieu-of-taxes, or PILOT, agreement for the four-story building, which will begin at the present tax level of $228,155 per year and gradually increase to $1.1 million by its final year. Village officials approved the project,

Beach said that the Capri was often the site of illicit activities, such as drug use and sales and prostitution, and there have been many arrests at or near the facility over the years. With a new complex in the works, he noted, it was a win for the community. He added that the project helped get rid of a “terrible, terrible drug infested nuisance in our village,” and made way for a state-ofthe-art building that will “blend in so nicely” with the surrounding businesses and community.

Bartone alSo earned the award, and said he was pleased to finally have a chance to build something in Lynbrook.

Work is progressing rapidly on $1.3 million turf fields that village officials approved as a way to enhance Greis Park. “My goal is to improve Greis Park to accommodate the growing need for superb recreation facilities,” Mayor Alan Beach said after officials approved the project. “Lynbrook’s population is very attuned to physical fitness, and its good family values encourage our youth to participate in sports.” The Amityville-based LandTek Group is in charge of installing the 122,000-square-foot fields. As part of the project, Landtek removed the backstops down by the baseball and softball diamonds and a Fire Department archway. According to Beach, a 13-year, low-interest bond is covering the installation, at no additional cost to residents, because the village recently retired old debt. Village officials have talked about installing

fields at Greis Park for years. The facility, on Wilbur Street, has four fields, A through D. The turf is being placed on fields C and D, in the southern part of the park, near the basketball court, the Long Island Rail Road tracks and the Lynbrook Fire Department training center. The infield of the baseball and softball diamond on Field A will also be converted into turf. Fields C and D are multi-use fields that host football, lacrosse, soccer, softball and baseball. Before work began on the fields, LandTek placed a drainage system beneath the surface. The turf fields come as village officials are working toward beautifying and upgrading the park. Colorado-based GreenPlay LLC conducted a nine-month, $60,000 study in which it gathered input from thousands of residents through online and mail-in surveys to find out what they desire there. Village officials are now analyzing plans in order to finalize projects.

Our offices are located at 2 Endo Blvd. Garden City, NY 11530 and are open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Charlie CaMpBell waS successful in his fight, improving his professional record to 2-1 and overall mark to 7-1. from East Rockaway Junior-Senior High School in 2013. When he turned 21, he decided he wanted to make a career out of it and joined the Serra Longo fight team, founded by his coaches, Matt Serra and Ray Longo. Though he was unsure when his next fight would be because of coronavirus restrictions, Campbell said, he stayed in shape and stuck to his usual daily workout regimen to remain ready. Charlie Foster, Campbell’s strength and conditioning coach, said he was impressed with his protégé’s commitment and dedication. “The kid is just, he’s an animal,” Foster said. “He’s a special one. I’ve been training for 20 years in special [operations] and sports, and this kid is just above and beyond. He’s different. He’s special.” Foster explained that they engage in high-intensity

For East Rockaway native Charlie “The Cannibal” Campbell, his first professional mixed martial arts fight for Bellator MMA was different than most amid the pandemic, but he kept his composure and found success. With the coronavirus pandemic ongoing, Campbell faced his opponent, Nainoa Dung, in an empty arena at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut in one of the preliminary bouts on Bellator 243 with no fans permitted. He also had to arrive five days before the fight, get tested daily and stay quarantined inside his hotel leading up to his contest. The circumstances didn’t hamper him at all, as he had a solid first round and hit his opponent with heavy kicks before eventually winning just a minute into the second round. “It was a lot of fun for me to kind of stay composed and make adjustments and find a way to win,” Campbell said. “Because it was on a national level, it still felt like 50,000 people were watching me. As far as entering the cage in that moment, it wasn’t different. I do a very good job of visualizing up until the fight and staying composed.” Campbell, 25, improved his professional record to 2-1 and his overall mark to 7-1. He was coming off of his first professional loss in November, and said he was eager to get back in the octagon after other fights got canceled amid the pandemic in May and June. He said it was satisfying to finally debut for Bellator MMA, one of the largest combat sport promotions in the world. He won his professional debut fight in May 2019 at Ring of Combat 68. Campbell is a lifelong East Rockaway resident, and began competing when he joined the Lynbrook Titans wrestling program at age 6. After the Titans program, Campbell began training in jujitsu and kickboxing outside school when he was in ninth grade, and he graduated

workouts as part of Campbell’s training, which includes plenty of running, working out and sparring. He added that he thinks Campbell will be a champion one day in the sport. Similar to Foster, Campbell’s striking coach, Eric Hyer, said he was pleased with his client’s progress and his commitment to stay fit even when he was unsure of when his next fight would be. “It’s really hard for these guys to stay at that pinnacle of shape when they don’t have a goal in mind because it takes a lot of work,” he said. “I’m very proud that he was able to stay disciplined and really stayed in shape. That shows you what he’s made of and I’m very proud of that.” Campbell said he came in as a heavy underdog based on coming off of a loss and it being his first Bellator MMA fight, while it was his opponent’s third. He added that with no one in the arena, he could hear the announcers talking up his opponent and used that and his underdog perception as motivation. “It was two very experienced and very high-level kick boxers in there,” he said. “I do believe I’m the more wellrounded fighter and if you run that match up 10 times, I am coming out the winner all 10 times.” Campbell said he was thankful to his coaches, friends, family members, teammates and supporters and that it made him proud to fight on a national stage and appear in highlights on ESPN’s “SportsCenter.” He said he hopes to once again compete for Bellator in the future, continue his MMA career and he just recently launched a cosmetic business called Octenum, which sells a blend of essential oils and hygiene products.. He also plans to organize virtual training sessions online in the future. To learn more about his company, visit octenumusa. com. To watch his latest fight, visit bellator.com.

Cedarhurst Co-direCtor, Chabad of the five toWns Cedarhurst

hanie Wolowik has been the co-director of Chabad of the Five Towns for 25 year and wears many hats. During the lockdown and gradual reopening period, she added new programs to address the specific needs of the time. Wolowik said she gives all credit to her inspiration in life to Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, the Lubavitcher rebbe, and notes that she could only do what she does with the leadership and assistance of Friendship Circle Director Batsheva Borenstein, preschool directors Susy Adler and Suzanne Wallin, senior program coordinators Michele Justice and Lisa Pockriss, and her partner in all, Hadassah Geisinsky. Immediately after lockdown, Wolokwik oversaw the shifting of Chabad's vital programs to an online format. Children and young adults with special needs met virtually with their volunteers in the Friendship Circle, senior programs continued on a weekly and many times twice-weekly basis, and regular Jewish Learning Institute adult education classes were held. She coordinated a system to support families with hospitalized members, arranged daily care for the children at home, including meals, and made sure that volunteers visited the hospitals. Wolowik also organized volunteers to help hundreds of families in the community to shop, especially older adults. Before Passover, she and volunteers delivered Seder meals community-wide. On Lag B'Omer, instead of the annual park party, she arranged for a LED truck parade.

have been involved in PTA for about 14 years, and I never worked as hard as I did this year. It was nonstop — from morning to night, we were constantly putting out information and coordinating. The duties shifted immediately when schools closed, and we worked directly with the Riverside principal to push out information through emails and social media. We wanted to keep families involved and informed as much as we could. When we learned the school closure would be much longer than the initial two weeks, we helped kids get iPads and acted as an intermediary between families and administrators. All of us on the PTA are so used to providing traditional programs, fundraising and hosting informational sessions. We had to reinvent the organization while still maintaining normalcy through events and special celebrations for students so the students didn’t miss out. We all had to do the best we could for the families and students — it was really a team effort. I have also been transitioning into my new role as council vice president of Special Education Partners and am on the district’s Social-Emotional Learning and Mental Health Reopening Subcommittee. I have been … setting up virtual SEP meetings throughout the school year so that whatever way we go — in-person full time, hybrid or remote learning — we can ensure the special-education population’s needs are being met.

he community’s support over the years is what kept me hopeful during the pandemic. I had put a lot of money into the outside of the building before the pandemic hit, and my business was probably the best it’s ever been in the 23 years that I’ve been here, but so be it. We were able to get through this, and we got out on the other end. Even though we reopened with many safety restrictions during Phase 2, our business is fortunate to have an outdoor patio. The residents’ support is what helped to keep the doors open over the past few months. Our customers have done a lot to try to keep all of our small businesses open. A lot of people told us that they’re here to support us and that they appreciate the place itself. They really stepped up when we needed them the most. We also have to thank the Malverne Chamber of Commerce and their efforts to support servers who rely on tips, because that helped to sustain my staff. I’m still very positive for the future, but it’s going to be a while before things get back to normal in the village. I think most owners know that, but I just hope that most owners will come back when this is all over. I think a lot of them will not be able to come back, but as of now we’re one of the lucky places that sees a good future.

e are very, very fortunate that everyone’s been OK during the coronavirus pandemic, but it has definitely affected our organization. We have had to cancel our three big fundraisers this year, and have had to rely on our Charity Yard Sales and online sales to raise money for renovations to the Helfenbein’s Hempstead home, and could only let eight to 10 people into our yard sales at any given time. We are holding them twice a month and killing ourselves, but fortunately, most people seemed happy with our yard sales. We will be holding another one this weekend. Still, we estimate that we have lost $50,000 — money that could be used to renovate the Helfenbein’s kitchen and bathroom, and we have had to postpone our work on the project until September. We just hope that we can get all the supplies we need by then. But we have also used the time to help the community. In March, we donated 300 of our own N95 masks to local health care workers, and we wound up distributing nearly 20,000 masks to hospital employees in Missouri and Hawaii, as well as those who work for Long Island Cares, the Fire Department of New York and the New York Police Department’s Highway Patrol. We had to set up a small mask-making factory in our house, and received help from all over Long Island. Some people even volunteered to help with our rebuilding efforts in the future.

Swim Across America will still make a splash By Emily BErgin lyneditor@liherald.com

Over the past 10 summers, the Lynbrook Village Pool has hosted Swim Across America, a charity event that raises funds to fight cancer. Throughout the years, the event has raised more than $165,000. This year, due to the pandemic, the National SAA Committee made the difficult decision to cancel all pool and open water events. As stated on their website (swimacrossamerica.org), the organization’s priority is the safety and health of the participants, volunteers and supporters. The organization has introduced the SAA Personal Challenge for this year, where all participants can create any challenge and pledge to complete it through Oct. 31 and garner donations from sponsors. Proceeds from the challenges will support immunotherapy research at the Swim Across America Laboratory at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, lung cancer clinical trials at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, pediatric brain cancer research at the Feinstein Institute of North Shore and pediatric oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital. “The SAA board and national team have been closely monitoring the spread of the coronavirus from the very beginning,” SAA Executive Board Member Kevin Shine said. “Given the nature of

our events with large numbers of participants and spectators, we needed to determine if it was safe to run our swim events this year. We initially cancelled a number of the early events in Tampa and Houston back in April. As the virus progressed and given the CDC Guidelines and input from medical experts, we eventually decided that we needed to suspend all of our events across all 21 of our SAA cities. While this was a difficult decision, it was done to ensure the safety of all our supporters. We look forward to getting back to our normal swim events next year, and we will likely continue to use the ‘personal challenge’ to allow nonswimmers to participate in our mission as well.” Instead of individual websites for each event, everyone who participates will sign up through the Nassau Suffolk website, and can start a team there, or sign up as an individual. According to Shine, SAA board members wanted to expand the awareness of its cancer-fighting mission to non-swimmers, and ultimately raise $500,000 in support of its beneficieries. “Thus far, we have had over 170 ‘personal challenge’ participants that have raised approximately $360,000, and [that number is] growing,” Shine said. “Our SAA personal challenge will continue throughout the year, so folks can continue to join the SAA Personal Challenge and fundraise for our beneficia-

ries.” While the Nassau Suffolk Chapter of SAA was started in 2001, the annual Lynbrook event began in 2010, and was organized by Julie Bergin and Kelly Stapleton, who, along with their children, Kyle and Emily Bergin and Kevin and Siobhan Stapleton, rallied the community to raise funds for cancer research. “This is a great event for the community,” Deputy Mayor Michael Hawxhurst said. “It has grown over the years to where we now have a large contingent of swimmers come out and many village residents come down to watch and lend support. It is great seeing people getting involved for such a worthy cause. It is nice to see our younger swimmers and residents who both put on and participate in the event. The money raised over the years goes to a great cause, and everyone learns so much from being involved. I am proud our village can do what it can to host this event each year and let our swimmers participate in this.” According to the SAA website, some of the suggested personal challenges include setting a goal distance to walk, bike, swim, kayak or run; golfing a safe round with friends, volunteering for food pantries and Covid-19 related causes; climbing a mountain; or hosting a Zoom conference with a celebrity or Olympian. Although there are restrictions on the amount of people allowed in due to the pandemic, the Lynbrook Village Pool is

now open to the public, and if personal challenge participants would like to do a swim challenge there, they can sign up for a slot in the lap lanes through the village website (lynbrookvillage.net/recreation-calendar). “This year has presented everyone such a great challenge with everything going on,” Hawxhurst said. “People have lost loved ones and must deal with the ongoing issues from the pandemic. It has touched everyone. As we try to move forward, the village has opened our pool with various restrictions, including reduced capacity, social distancing requirements and enhanced cleaning regimens.” Hawxhurst added that those who would like to swim their personal challenge can practice laps the morning in 30-minute incriments each day. This enables people to socially distance, but still get in their exercise or their personal challenge. All participants who sign up will donate a $25 registration fee and receive a Swim Across America T-Shirt. For high school or middle school students who are interested in earning community service hours, participating in the SAA personal challenge is a possibility. The Lynbrook Village Pool SAA event usually has about 100 participants. For more information or to sign-up, visit swimacrossamerica.org/goto/Lynbrook.

Downtown Deals Travel Pass offered Discover Long Island, which promotes tourism on the Island, has teamed up with the Nassau and Suffolk County Industrial Development Agencies to launch a new free mobile Downtown Deals Travel Pass to boost recovery across the region, providing economic stimulus through marketing programs for small businesses, restaurants and attractions. The passport is a free program that all locals and visitors can sign up for, launching first in Farmingdale, Great Neck, Greenport, Huntington, Patchogue and Rockville Centre. With more than 100 local businesses expected to join the passport program, it will showcase the best of these Long Island downtowns through a mobile platform. “The $6.1 billion hospitality industry has been the hardest-hit industry in our region as a result of Covid-19, and the small businesses in our downtowns need immediate assistance to drive economic recovery,” said Kristen Jarnagin, president and chief executive officer of Discover Long Island. “We are grateful to Nassau and Suffolk County IDAs for their partnership in supporting this new mobile Downtown Deals Travel Pass, and we encourage our residents and visitors to utilize this digitized platform to explore the endless hidden gems in the vibrant downtowns

that are the fabric of our community.” Participants are able sign up for a Downtown Deals Travel Pass at www.discoverlongisland.com/deals. A link is then sent to their mobile phones, which opens the passport and directs the user to add the button icon to their home screen, where they can access it any time. Once users are ready to redeem their passes, they simply hand their phone to the ticketing or checkout counter to access their deal. “Embracing and growing Nassau’s vibrant, walkable downtown communities near transit and housing has been a priority of my administration since day one,” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said. “Following our COVID-19 front-line response, my priority focused on boosting the recovery of our small businesses and revival of these once bustling, beloved Main Street communities — the heartbeat of our local economy. I want to encourage businesses and residents to sign up for the new free Downtown Deals Travel Pass and explore downt ow n d i s t r i c t s t h ro u g h o u t L o n g Island. Not only will you find fantastic ways to enjoy a staycation but you will be supporting the businesses that employ so many of our neighbors, family and friends.”

Covid-19 grounding many student pilots Enrollment drops at some flight schools as instruction switches to online format By VisVajit sriramrajan “When Covid-19 hit, survival intuition became important for everyone because individual lives and livelihoods were immediately at stake,” said Bianca Baldwin, head of admissions and enrollment at the Academy of Aviation, a Farmingdale flight school. “We had to react, but there was no script.” Baldwin noted that the school was closed to the public and secured approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to shift to a digital model of instruction. Flight dispatch procedures were altered to maintain operations while all flight school staff switched to working remotely. Fever and symptom screening for instructors and students was done before precheck of every aircraft, and before-andafter flight sanitation procedures were carried out on the ramp, as outlined by the federal Centers for Disease Control. “As a result of Covid-19, we have had to reimagine the flight training world,” said Evan Damadeo, chief flight Instructor at Mid Island Flight School in Ronkonkoma. Damadeo noted that flight training has long been an in-person business, with mostly face-to-face interactions. “At this time, we currently employ many remote technologies in order to minimize our face-to-face interactions to only inside the airplane during a flight lesson,” he said. “This helps to ensure that we maximize

safety to our family of employees and our family of customers.” Although aviation theory can be learned through books, student pilots need to take an FAA practical exam known as a checkride in order to obtain a license. In the United States, a private pilot applicant is required to have documented at least 40 hours of flight time, with at least 20 hours from an instructor and 10 hours of solo flights. Applicants must also log three hours of cross-country training, 10 takeoffs and landings at three different airports, three hours of basic instrument training, three hours of night flying and experience flying over 150 nautical miles. These requirements, which are even more demanding for those applying for commercial pilot licenses, have brought flight schools practically to a standstill, particularly for immunocompromised students. “Academy of Aviation offers an F-1 Commercial Pilot Visa with the opportunity to work as a U.S. Certified Flight Instructor upon successful completion of our program,” Baldwin said. “This means that we welcome, teach and employ students from the USA as well as many different countries such as India, Egypt, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Thailand.” She added that the flight school’s student roster was at its peak before the pandemic, and the schools remains dedicated to upholding a diverse student body.

Ilan Nahoom, the CEO of Flying Helicopters Made Easy, spoke on the diversity of his flight school as well, noting that women and men from various backgrounds are represented in its instructor body. “We have Black people, Native Americans and immigrants from countries like China and India represented in our instructors,” he said. Nahoom said enrollment has decreased 40 percent during the Covid-19 pandemic, however. “About 70 percent of our students are usually younger people between the ages of 18 and 30 who want to pursue aviation as a career, but we also see people of all ages come in to learn how to fly recreationally,” he said. Other flight schools in the area have struggled as well. As both a New York City public high school and a Part 147 Federal Aviation Administration Aviation Maintenance Technician School, Aviation High School in Long Island City has had to deal with challenges related to school building closures since March 16. “All lessons and demonstrations have successfully taken place remotely,” said Steven Jackson, the principal of Aviation High School. “Our enrollment has not been impacted, but our ability to provide our students with the opportunities to finish their required practical hands-on work has been postponed until we can safely resume in-school instruction for students and staff.

“This is a great challenge for all AMTS schools,” he continued, “and we are working in accordance with federal, state and city guidance to determine the safest way to resume our on-site FAA practical courses for the 2020-2021 school year.” Jackson noted that Aviation High School is one of New York’s most diverse schools. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the high school had respectively 3.9 and 4.9 percent more Asian and Hispanic students than white students. Out of 2,097 students in 2019, only 193 students were white, thereby facilitating a direct path to the aviation industry for students of color. Nahoom added that greater representation within his flight school in relation to other flight schools was largely due to its location. The school is based out of Farmingdale, which as of the 2010 census was 71.1 percent white with the remaining 28.9 percent comprising Hispanic, Black and Asian residents. “The demographics of an area like Farmingdale is different than towns in upstate New York or interior Suffolk County,” Nahoom said. The town is also home to the 78-acre Republic Airport and Farmingdale State College of the State University of New York system, which operates an aviation studies program in close proximity to the regional airport, making it easier for students to access aviation education.

What’s happening with the schools? Inaugural Inside LI webinar launched as districts prepare for fall reopening By Jill Nossa jnossa@liherald.com

With the start of the new school year fast approaching next month, the question of how to send children back to school safely is at the forefront of many people’s minds. Parents and educators alike are struggling to determine the best way to provide quality instruction to students while maintaining their physical safety and supporting their social-emotional health. To facilitate the discussion, Inside LI launched its webinar series last Wednesday, bringing a group of esteemed leaders in education together for a conversation on how Long Island schools will open this fall while the Covid-19 pandemic still rages across the country. Inside LI is a production of RichnerLive, a division of Richner Communications Inc., parent company of Herald Community Newspapers. The 45-minute webinar included panelists Dr. William H. Johnson, a state monitor for the Hempstead Union Free School District and former superintendent of Rockville Centre School District; Dr. Robert Dillon, district superintendent of Nassau BOCES; Megan Ryan, chief compliance ethics officer EVP of NuHealth and president of the North Merrick Board of Education; and Johane Ligondé, principal of JW Dodd Middle School in Freeport. Moderated by Skye Ostreicher of RichnerLive, the panel discussion provided information on what has been done and what still needs to happen to keep everybody safe. Topics included safety protocols, mental health and the financial burden that districts face in implementing new safety measures. Ostreicher kicked off the discussion by asking Johnson what type of guidance he has received from the state for reopening. Johnson noted “the heart and soul of what parents are worried about” is safety. “We really have to worry about that, and every day there’s additional information we are receiving about children and Covid-19 infections, and we need to stay on top of all of that research that continues to be growing.” Additionally, he said, the “efficacy of the instructional program” needs to be focused on. “We learned how limited we were last spring in trying to put together an exclusive model that focused on distance learning — it didn’t really work up to the expectation that we hoped it would, and there were many, many holes in it.” The third area schools are focusing on is the socialemotional health of children. “What really was lacking last spring was the ability to connect with one another,” Johnson said. As schools begin to reopen, districts are tasked with figuring out how to keep students safely spaced apart in each school building. Reconfiguring classroom spaces, instituting directional hallways and different bell schedules, and separating students into cohorts, while also creating online curriculum for a remote model, is like “building two schools,” according to Ligondé. In addition, schools have to be aware of students’ emotional needs. “The reality is, we’re dealing with Covid-19 as well as social justice,” she said. “Mental health has to be number one.” Ostreicher raised a concern that is on the mind of many parents: What happens if they choose one model initially, such as in person, and then change their minds and want to switch to remote? Johnson said he believes most parents, after experiencing distancing learning last spring, “have come to recognize the value that schools provide.” Still, he stressed parents need to understand that school will be very different this year, and the conversations need to happen between principals and parents as to what to expect. Ligondé said it is also important for parents to have conversations with their children so they can be prepared and know what is expected of them, and Ryan noted that districts, such as North Merrick, recognize

skye ostreicher moderated the first of Inside LI’s webinar series, “Education and Covid-19: K-12” the variables that are currently coming into play. “It’s a fluid environment we’re living in,” Ryan said. “We’ll work with parents.” While districts are striving to provide a quality education in all three models, Dillon said supporting the social-emotional needs of students and staff is crucial, and emphasized how the current situation could affect both teaching and learning. “When we begin this school year, we’re beginning a journey that we’ve never taken before,” Dillon said.

“One thing I would caution is, if we’re going to use benchmarks from our previous experiences in schools with what’s coming out now, I think that’s rather unfair. We’ve always had high expectations for our students and staff…I am confident because of the resilience of the Long Island community, will make this better every day.” Dillon also noted the lack of funding districts are struggling with: Not only are they looking at potential 20 percent reduction in state aid, but also the state is imposing guidelines without providing solutions to pay for them. In addition, he said, the supply chain for everything from cleaning products to Chromebooks is limited. “We are all competing for the same things,” he said. “We need a better strategy that addresses these issues nationwide.” Another point of discussion surrounded Governor Cuomo’s statement that schools must have children tested and conduct contact tracing. Ostreicher asked if there is a solution yet as to how schools will take on that task, and whether schools can partner with hospitals. “We do not have the capacity or legal authority to do the testing,” Dillon said, noting they will be discussing the matter with Nassau County officials. “That’s a major

unfunded mandate.” Ryan said school staff are not trained to test students for the virus. “It cannot fall on the leadership of the schools to conduct these tests,” she said, noting that they are expensive. “Those costs cannot come to the school… It’s going to have to go through health facilities.” In terms of contact tracing and what to do if a child or staff member gets the virus, the panelists agreed that more guidance needs to come from the Nassau County Department of Health. If a child gets sick, there is still a “good deal of uncertainty” as to what the schools will do, according to Johnson. If a child is in a cohort, he said, it’s easy to determine which children should be excluded from school and quarantined. But when you consider siblings or sports teams connected to the sick child, it gets trickier. “We need guidance not only on the cohort, but all of the other people who might have been exposed,” Johnson said. “We have to have a universal set of protocols in Nassau County health facilities,” Ryan said, “so all parents in all districts feel comfortable and we’re not scrambling. We can’t have different rules for different districts, especially when you consider public health.” The first Inside LI webinar was sponsored by Better Water NY, based in Glen Head. “An investment in our children is an investment in our future,” said Jeannie Riccardo, CEO of Better Water NY. “We’re proud to support the inaugural episode of Inside LI, which discussed how families are coping with Covid and simultaneously questioning the safety of sending kids back to school. We look forward to more meaningful conversations and encouraging families to stay healthy across Long Island.” The new webinar series will convene leaders from the business, government and nonprofit sectors to address current issues and get questions answered. “At the Herald, we take tremendous pride in being your trusted source of truly local news and information, especially in times of uncertainty like these,” RCI President Stuart Richner said. “Right now, there is no issue more important to Long Islanders than what is happening with schools.” The second Inside LI webinar will be on Friday, Aug. 21, at 10 a.m., with a discussion of higher education.

The Hempstead Town Board recently approved a Covid-19 relief grant for eight villages, including Lynbrook and East Rockaway. Lynbrook received $42,399, while East Rockaway garnered $18,687. The funds came from the $133 million grant that the Town of Hempstead was awarded from the federal CARES Act. “The Village of Lynbrook maintains a productive working relationship with our partners in government at the Town of Hempstead,” Mayor Alan Beach said. “The $42,000 in grant monies provided this week is a great start in helping us cover the initial costs of [personal protective equipment] and other Covid-related expenses.” East Rockaway Mayor Bruno Romano said he was grateful for the funds, and thanked Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin and Councilman Anthony D’Esposito for supporting it. “Covid-19 has placed a financial burden on our village,” he said. “I join my fellow board members in thanking Supervisor Clavin and Councilman D’Esposito for providing the Village of East Rockaway with CARES funding for PPE and coronavirus-related expenses.” At the start of the pandemic, and upon receiving the $133 million grant, the Town of Hempstead put together an economic recovery task force committee comprising a diverse set of voices from an array of sectors. The purpose of the committee was to pinpoint ways in which the grant could be spent effectively. The grants awarded to the eight vil-

lages are one of several initiatives the town elected officials have taken part in to alleviate some financial stresses. Other initiatives include an approved $2 million collaboration with Northwell Health to fund 15 additional coronavirus testing and education sites in the town, $4 million for food banks, $4 million for area hospitals and $2 million for the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency to provide personal protective equipment kits for businesses. “I’d like to thank Senator [Charles] Schumer for helping to secure financial support for the Town of Hempstead,” Clavin said. “No one in our town was spared from the impacts of this pandemic and the financial toll it has taken, especially on our local governments, has been significant.” D’Esposito said the funding was important. “As the council member representing the Village of East Rockaway, I am proud to join Supervisor Don Clavin and my colleagues on the Town Board to secure this vital funding,” he said. “Collaboration and partnership on a local level, especially during times like these, is vital to the success of the Town of Hempstead as a whole.” For more information about the Town of Hempstead and its efforts to improve the quality of life for residents and businesses throughout the region, visit https://hempsteadny.gov/.

A large donation helps wounded warriors in need Advisors of Prudential Life Insurance Company of America’s Uniondale office recently donated more than 50 suits and coats, which will be provided to wounded warriors in military hospitals along the East Coast. The items were presented to wounded warriors by the advisors along with the Lynbrook Fire Department. The members, along with other members of Nassau County fire departments, are part of Nassau County Firefighters Operation Wounded Warriors, a nonprofit that supports those who are wounded in battle.

Lynbrook and other fire department members travel to wounded warrior hospitals in the first week of December each year. Last summer, Prudential provided more than 70 suits, with shirts and ties, to wounded warriors in the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland during the warriors Adaptive Sports Weekend in Breezy Point, Brooklyn.

If schools re-open this September for in-person classes, time is of the essence for parents to get their children to their physicians for their check-ups and routine visits. This year it will be even more paramount than years past that schoolaged children get a flu vaccine because flu symptoms may be confused with Covid-19 and it is possible to be infected by both at the same time. Schedule appointments now for necessary imaging or scans, blood tests, or other diagnostic monitoring for children with chronic diseases, such as Diabetes Type II or asthma, to prevent the potential for health complications that could be more serious than a Covid-19 diagnosis, requiring a trip to the emergency room or even hospitalization. In the weeks leading up to the first day of school, parents should consider reducing exposures outside of the home to diminish the risk of returning to school sick.

The emotional/behavioral health of school-aged children has also been exacerbated by the pandemic, with an increase in cases of child/teenage anxiety, stress, panic and substance abuse or experimentation. Parents and children working along with their trusted physicians can address this now so that their children are confident and assured that they are safe, and all their focus and energy can be centered on learning.

It is more important than ever to make health care maintenance a priority. During this pandemic, we have seen a shift from in-person to telemedicine visits. However, speaking as an ophthalmologist, although a telemedicine visit can be useful for some issues, when it comes to a comprehensive eye exam, it is still necessary to have an in-office visit. The equipment used to examine the eye in the office is far superior to what a phone call or cell phone camera can show us. I recommend that everyone who has put off their eye exams or routine healthcare maintenance follow up with their health care providers and follow each office’s specific guidelines. If you have recently traveled outside of the New York area, are experiencing fever, cough, or other symptoms, please stay home for 14 days to help protect others.

TELEMEDICINE:

Changing health care delivery The changing dynamic of doctor-patient interaction

By Karen Bloom

elemedicine has been growing in popularity in recent years. Not a new concept — telemedicine (or telehealth, the terms are now used interchangeably) has been used for years in rural communities to connect patients with distant health care providers — its use has surged as result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Many more of us are now embracing remote visits with our health care providers, although it’s important to recognize it’s not applicable to every health care need. “While in-office visits are always going to be necessary, telemedicine is opening doors in the health care field that allows so much more flexibility in patient care and treatment,” said Jonathan Eckstein, D.O., MHSA, Medical Director, St. John's Medical Group, and Telehealth visits are quickly becoming a mainstay of health care since the onset of the Program Director, Family Medicine Covid-19 pandemic.

limited in accessing healthcare. Frequently, patients that are homebound or have physical or mental limitations forego their visits due to the difficulties they face getting to the appointment.” “It is not appropriate if you have a condition that requires a thorough physical examination. For example, if you are having chest pain, we would want to do tests in the office to make sure your heart is stable. It is a great tool for refilling medication, on a stable chronic condition or a sick visit where you do not want to expose others,” Dr. Rana said. Medical professionals across the board agree that broad-scale telemedicine will reshape modern medical services and will decidedly impact the future of health care, as its applications expand. “The Covid-19 pandemic has prompted a rapid adoption of telemedicine, a trend that could have a significant and lasting impact on the healthcare industry,’ said Dr. Eckstein. “Patients are turning to telemedicine (many for the first time) not only for the convenience factor but to avoid the elevated risk of exposure while venturing outside of their homes. We have seen an overwhelming majority of providers who have swiftly embraced telemedicine during the crises due to the waivers from our government to implement a short-term telemedicine program.” “Telehealth is here to stay. Our practices, our providers and our patients should embrace it for both its conveniences and difficulties. Our staff and patients must remain vigil when it comes to our health and safety during these trying times.” “It is growing and it will be able to do more tomorrow than it can today, and it’s already doing more today than it did yesterday,” said Dr. Sharma. “There is a significant role for it and as technology grows, that role will grow and we’re seeing creative uses for it all over the country. Will it ever replace in-person encounters? The answer is no, not with the current technology.” Finally, this from Dr. Ascher: “Covid has completely changed many aspects of our life and routines, and the use of telemedicine has augmented how we receive care as patients and deliver care as providers.” ■ — The Herald staff contributed reporting.

Ways to simplify the shopping amid the pandemic

The back to school season generally arrives with some amount of stress — and this year more so than ever. With families dealing with concerns about sending their children back to school safely, shopping is not foremost on many parent’s minds these days. And shopping during our “new normal” carries its own share of stressors. Still, back to class requires school supplies at the very least, even if you forgo other forms of shopping that you might have done in previous years. Instead of adding another layer of stress to your already-stressed household, start with a strategy to simplify shopping for the school year ahead. Make note of your inventory. School lists often carry over each school year, so make sure you aren't buying multiples of things you already own. Some supplies are more exciting when refreshed every year, but buying the same old boring ruler year after year is simply a waste of money. Make a list with your children. Put everything you need on that list, and be clear that once the list is done, it's done. Having everyone on the same page with a complete list helps ensure nothing vital is forgotten, and

the list can serve as a handy tool to keep your budget in check. Get uber-organized by making color-coded lists by kid or category to make your shopping more manageable. Be a savvy shopper. Check out your favorite brands and retailers and sign up for their email alerts, so you'll be in the know when the best deals hit. Create a back-up bin at home. You may find that your kids consistently run out of certain items midyear. Devote a special area of your home to keep extras in stock, and take advantage of sales during back-to-school season or buy in bulk to get a better price. Put quality ahead of price. While it's tempting to go for cheap when your list is long, remember that, depending upon the item, sometimes quality buys actually save more in the long run. Make the old new again. Turn barely used items into something new by decorating or adding stickers. Not only is this a fun activity that can help get the kids excited about and engaged in planning for the year ahead, it's easy on the budget and eco-friendly. Keep leftover supplies on hand to revive the enthusiasm with fresh designs at the end of the quarter or semester. n

Extra hElp:

The school year will certainly look and feel very different. Fully communicate with your children what they can expect so they can return safely.

Back to the classroom during a pandemic Preparing your children

As the 2020-21 school year on Long Island begins to take shape, families are wrestling with the uncertainties of going back to their school buildings shortly. After children spending much of the second half of last school year at home, e-learning, in-person learning will be a change. School as they knew it will not be the same, but as parents, you must talk with your children about what to expect and not scare them. Your child’s return to the school setting Now is the time to begin conversations about remote options, caregiving in the event of a closure, and protection against the spread of viruses. “Start talking now and begin making decisions on plans for the school year,” says pediatrician Ira Kumar, M.D. By now your children should be familiar and used to wearing a mask. However, keep reinforcing the routine of wearing a mask, especially with younger kids. This includes teaching your children how to correctly wear their mask and how to care for a mask properly. “You should have the kids wear them around the house for increasingly longer periods to get them used to the concept,” says pediatrician Timothy M. Snyder, M.D. “You also should review good handwashing technique — sing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song twice while washing hands.” Remaining current on vaccinations and being prepared in the event of illness isalso vitally important. “Parents should get their children vaccinated, now more than ever,” Dr. Kumar said. “Get the flu shot when it is available. Get medications ready, have a good thermometer and make appointments with your children’s doctors.” What school may look like Physically going back to school during a pandemic will mean required or recommended face coverings and social distancing, but also making sure students have what they need should they return to remote learning. Talking to your children about social distancing is essential. “This is a good time to have your children around family,” Dr. Kumar says. “While around family, teach them how to keep distance, not share food and not drink from common places.” Since masks are required, it is important to know

what the safest masks are for children. “A cloth mask that fits comfortably and covers the mouth and nose is recommended,” Dr. Snyder says. “It should fit comfortably so that the child is not constantly pulling or readjusting the mask.” Dr. Kumar stated that now is a good time to see what is best for children. “Get your children in the habit of wearing masks now so you can see what suits them, what is uncomfortable for them, etc.” Of course, parents’ biggest concern is if things will be safe and clean enough. Even though every district has their own guidelines, there are planning considerations and guidance available. Some of the recommendations for cleaning and sanitization by the American Academy of Pediatrics are: √ Cleaning should be performed per established protocols followed by disinfection when appropriate. √ When using disinfectants, the manufacturers’ instructions must be followed. √ The use of EPA-approved disinfectants against Covid19 coronavirus is recommended. √ When possible, only products labeled as safe for humans and the environment containing active ingredients such as hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, citric acid, should be used because they are less toxic, are not strong respiratory irritants or asthma triggers. √ When EPA-approved disinfectants are not available, alternative disinfectants such as diluted bleach or 70 percent alcohol solutions can be used. √ Children should not be present when disinfectants are in use and should not participate in disinfecting activities. √ Surfaces that are used frequently, such as drinking fountains, door handles, sinks and faucet handles, etc., should be cleaned and disinfected at least daily and as often as possible. √ Bathrooms should receive frequent cleaning and disinfection. √ Shared equipment including computer equipment, keyboards, art supplies, and play or gym equipment should also be disinfected frequently. Considerations for children with asthma Asthma or other lung problems can always cause fear or worry for their children while they are at school, but especially now more than ever. This can be because Continued to - Preparing

Learning doesn’t stop when the dismissal bell rings The move to distance learning in the spring was challenging to both parents and teachers. Among the many issues, many parents — especially those with younger children — became concerned that their kids were losing ground academically while schools were closed. With the new school year approaching, it may be necessary to consider turning to a tutor to give your child an academic boost. Tutoring is an investment in your child, so work with your child in order to get the best possible result. Pitch and persuade. Before searching for a tutor, discuss it with your child to get his buy in. Keep the conversation positive: “You know how reading is kind of hard sometimes? We are going to find someone who can help you.” Most students don’t like to struggle, so if your child is aware that there is a problem, he may be more likely to want help. Even so, expect apprehension and offer encouragement. Consider priorities. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to tutoring. It depends on your child’s needs, setting, convenience and cost. Some people choose a private tutor. Others go with a tutoring center. Still others opt for an online service. When choosing a setting — either small group or one-on-one instruction —determine which is the best fit for your child. If you choose a group setting, find out the maximum number of students per class. A convenient location is important, too. Studies show that more frequent tutoring sessions yield greater results. When it comes to cost, bear in mind that one-on-one tutoring may be more costly than group sessions, and in-home tutoring more expensive than traveling to a center. Ask around. Fellow parents can be great resources when looking for tutors. Other parents can share their own experiences working with certain tutors, and may be able to point you in the direction of tutors who specialize in certain areas, such as mathematics or the sciences. Contact local community organizations. Local organizations may offer free or low-cost tutoring programs to members or even non-members. They may be staffed by local college students, including undergraduates and post-graduates. When speaking with theseorganizations, ask how they choose their tutors and inquire about the educational backgrounds of those tutors. Consider online tutoring services. Online tutoring services are another option, especially now, when maintaining safety protocols are essential. B sure to read reviews and even request testimonials from past clients before signing up. Check credentials. Find out if the tutor has experience teaching the subject with which your child needs help. Although the instructor may not be credentialed for your child’s grade level, it’s a good idea to find one who holds a college degree and has completed a tutor training program. This will ensure he understands educational theory, instructional strategies and remedial approaches. Graduate students with strong content knowledge may be a good option, too. Equally important is experience and teaching style. Ask if the tutor has taught children of similar age and learning style as your child. Likewise, consider personality and attitude. Is the tutor patient, upbeat and encouraging? Is he congenial with children? Tally the track record. It’s equally important to also check references and track record. Does the tutor you are considering have satisfaction surveys from past parents and students that prove he has helped them raise test scores, improve classroom grades and/or experience better homework completion?

Collaborate on goals. When formulating tutoring goals, get everyone on board — teacher, tutor, parent and child. Teachers and tutors are aware of what the goals should be, but parents know their child best and should be involved in the goal-setting process. It’s ideal if the tutor and teacher work toward a common goal and communicate regularly to reinforce each other’s techniques. The teacher may also be willing to give feedback on your child’s progress in the classroom. Request progress reports. Many tutors offer periodic progress reports and will check off goals and redefine them, if necessary. Ask for a sample of progress reports to see if they are clear and helpful. Also inquire how often

reports will be given. View policies. Clarify policies before signing on the dotted line. Some tutors charge clients if an appointment is canceled without a 24-hour notice. Others have detailed policies for scheduling makeup sessions. Show support. Remember, parents play an important role in the whole learning process, so look for practical ways to support your child’s academic endeavors. At the end of each tutoring session, find out what he is expected to do before the next one — whether it’s memorizing his multiplication facts or completing all of his classroom assignments — and support those learning efforts at home. n

Talking to your child’s physician is important “A child with chronic illness would be at increased risk for significant illness from the Covid-19 virus,” Dr. Snyder says. “If the child is on controller medication or has had frequent hospitalizations, some consideration should be given to keep them home and doing e-learning. Parents should make this decision along with their child’s physician.”

In 2012, there were 78 million students enrolled in school spanning from nursery school to college, according to the United States Census.

Heading back Start the new school year

Talk to your child about what to expect The more your child knows about the dynamics of the upcoming school year, the better off they’ll be. As the situation evolves, and you learn more details about the year’s schooling, speak to your child about what to expect. If your school’s administration has decided to continue in-person instruction with daily temperature checks, let your child know to expect them. The more knowledge that is presented to your child, the easier it will be for him/her to

handle changes as events unfold. Create a back-from-school protocol to keep your home safe If your child will be going to school fulltime, or even partially, it’s important to establish a sanitizing ritual for them to adhere to when they walk through the front door after each day of school. “When children return from school, they should immediately sanitize their hands,” advises board-certified pediatrician Dr. Candice W. Jones. “Once at home, at the very least, they should remove clothes/shoes and place them in the laundry, or in a designated safe place for disinfecting. A shower would be great, but is not absolutely necessary.” Discuss with your child about this daily disinfecting routine, and run a practice round or two to make it easier to remember when school starts. It could even help to create a checklist for them that is visible when they arrive home. Zooming in on remote schooling Be prepared for a continuation of distance learning, which may be part of your school district’s reopening plan. If the idea of sitting your child down in front of the screen for hours at a time again makes your head spin, it’s time to rethink your strategy. Dr. Linda

Get the school year off to a strong start by being focused and fully prepared for all outcomes. Carling, an associate research scientist at Johns Hopkins University, shares these tips for helping children succeed at remote learning: Encourage movement. Squeeze in some stretching breaks throughout the school day and pencil in larger chunks of time for longer exercises, like a bike ride around the block. If your child finds it particularly difficult to sit still for long periods of time, set up a tablet or laptop on a raised surface and have your child stand through their classes. Reduce distractions. Create a distractionfree zone for your child’s learning to help boost their focus. Noise-canceling headphones can also be helpful to drown out auditory distractions. Adjust your schedule as needed. Many younger children need constant or intermittent guidance to help them with their remote learning. If possible, adjust your own schedule so you can be on hand to help your child as necessary.

Use a checklist for focus. A basic visual checklist of tasks that need to be completed can help children focus. Draw up the checklist with your child at the beginning of each day and have them cross off tasks as they’re completed. Provide immediate positive feedback. Each time your child successfully follows instructions, provide immediate and positive feedback. You can keep it small, from a sticker on their work assignment or words of praise to an extra 15 minutes of play before bedtime. Help your child prepare for face mask wearing while at school School supply lists are looking very different this year, with “face masks” penciled in right next to “erasers” and “glue.” But having your child wear a mask for hours on end while sitting through school can sound next to impossible.

Back-to-school season is traditionally marked by a run on discounted pencils, overcrowded malls and lots of nail-biting nerves about new teachers. But this year, it's clearly entirely different. Forget the crowds and a race to find the hottest-selling backpack. This year, it’s all about the trendiest face masks and getting ready for a school year that promises to be unlike any other. And for a child, that can be more than a little frightening. As with every transition, proper mindset and preparation is key to smoothing out the inevitable bumps and hurdles. What the school year will ultimately look like, is uncertain, but in the meantime, its up to parents to set the tone so that your child can approach the school year with minimal stress.

positively and safely

Mornings over easy

Make the start of the school day easier School day mornings can be hectic, since — as every parent knows — getting kids ready for school and out the door on time is not always easy. Working parents may find school day mornings especially difficult, as their own work schedules can make mornings feel even more rushed. This time around, change up your morning routines with strategies to free up time in the morning so everyone starts their days off in a more relaxing atmosphere. Wake up earlier. Sleep might seem like a precious commodity, but waking up just 10 to 15 minutes earlier can remove some of the stress from weekday mornings without costing you a lot of sack time. Let kids sleep in until their normal wakeup time, using your extra 10 or 15 minutes to shower or enjoy your morning cup of coffee before the house is abuzz with activity. Tackle certain chores the night before. Delaying certain chores until you wake up makes for a hectic morning, so tackle as many morning chores as possible before you go to bed for the night. Prepare school lunches, lay clothes out for yourself and your children, and make sure kids have their backpacks packed and ready to go before they go to bed. Each of these things may only take a few minutes, but when left for the morning, they can add up to a substantial amount of time.

Encourage youngsters to pick up the pace. Some people are morning people, while others dread setting their alarms for early morning hours. Kids who fall into the latter group may drag their feet in the morning, but parents should offer encouragement when kids are moving slowly in the morning. Allowing your frustration to show may only make kids less fond of mornings, so remind them as nicely as possible that everyone has a schedule to stick to if they seem to be dragging their feet. Keep the television off and limit the use of your family’s devices. If watching the television is ingrained in your morning routine, try going a few days without it to see if this makes it easier to get out the door on time. Kids might grow distracted by morning cartoons, and even adults may get caught up in morning news shows or other forecasts. Eliminating television from your morning routine can save time and also may help your family grow closer, as you will have more distraction-free time to speak to one another. In addition to turning off the television, resist the urge to turn on your devices or scan work emails when getting ready in the morning. n

Get out from under the morning chaos by changing up the daily routine for a smoother start to your family’s day.

Heading Back

Continued from Heading Back To assist your child with face mask wearing while at school, it’s best to model positivity. Help your child build up a positive attitude about mask-wearing by talking about how your mask is keeping you and others safe, as well as how the discomfort is a small price to pay for safety. It’s also a good idea to practice maskwearing at home. This will serve the dual purpose of getting your child accustomed to wearing a mask, and help to ensure your child is wearing it correctly before school starts. If your child is particularly resistant to wearing a mask, you may want to employ some strategies, like having them wear the mask for the length of their favorite song, or

playing dress-up as a doctor or your child’s favorite superhero. For the sensory child, face masks can be a nightmare. Make it easier by finding the style that is most comfortable for your child, whether that’s a classic ear-loop mask, a bandanna style covering, or a neck gaiter. Extenders or button headbands can also be a welcome relief for irritated ears. Finally, make masks fun again by choosing a child-friendly pattern. You can have your child design their own mask (on Etsy), choose an extra breathable and lightweight mask from various retailers or even pick out a mask featuring your child’s favorite movie character.n

Talented ‘Talenthood’ tutors mentor students Editor’s note: Emma and Sophie Ward are rising juniors at Lynbrook High School who tutor students through the Talenthood app. After being stuck inside for so long, it is more important than ever for children to brush up on skills and get active. A nationwide tutoring company, Talenthood, has just been expanded to Lynbrook and Hewlett, and provides a way for children to regain lost skills and improve in many areas, including academics, sports, music, technology and art. Talented high school students from the Lynbrook and Hewlett community are available to tutor in a variety of subjects and activities. Talenthood also donates a portion of the money made from each lesson to various charities. The recently created Talenthood branch in Lynbrook and Hewlett is run by Emma and Sophie Ward, rising juniors at Lynbrook High School. It all started two years ago in Scarsdale, N.Y. by Cooper Cohen, a rising senior. Since then, Talenthood has expanded to more than 20 towns in America, along with a couple of international branches. Cooper explained that he has “always been a dedicated soccer player,” therefore, “throughout the years I had always had people ask me to tutor their kids and give

them private lessons.” This inspired Talenthood. “I realized that there was a high demand in my town for parents who wanted their children to improve, not just in soccer, but in all areas,” he said, “and there was an enormous amount of high school students, who were talented in various areas of expertise who were looking for ways to make money. It only made sense to put the two together and connect those who were looking for instruction, with those who were qualified and looking to instruct and teach others.” Giving back to the community is at the heart of Talenthood; each branch donates a portion of its proceeds to three charities that are rooted in helping children: Fly a Kite, SCOPE (Summer Camp Opportunities Promote Education), and Unsung Heroes. A Lynbrook family started the Fly a Kite Foundation, and it raises money to fund DIPG research. DIPG is a brain tumor that is most commonly found in children. Additionally, it supports children who are fighting the disease by giving them emotional and medical guidance. Fly a Kite also provides children with custom art packets to bolster their spirits as they endure difficult times. SCOPE is an organization that raises money to send underprivileged children to sleep away camp. SCOPE gives children the gift of summer camp, which enables them to grow and learn valuable skills. Unsung Heroes, a Lynbrook High School Student Government charity, raises

scholarship money for two LHS seniors who are unsung heroes in the community. Signing a child up for a Talenthood lesson is easy and straightforward. Interested parties can download the Talenthood App and sign-up as a Lynbrook-Hewlett parent. After that, they should click on the area they would like to book a lesson in, and message a tutor. Lessons can be conducted in masks and socially distanced or via the virtual platform Zoom, if preferred. There is a list of guidelines and a waiver that is signed by both the tutor and the parent/ guardian in order to keep the lessons as safe as possible. All payments will be made through Venmo app at (@Talenthood-LynbrookHewlett), and the money will go to both the tutor and to charity. “I really like the tutoring services provided and the option to do it in person or virtually,” said Gerrie Hoffman, a Lynbrook parent. “It’s a great way for younger students to connect with older students in the community while being tutored. The technology instruction and babysitting options are also great.” Olivia Dublin, a rising senior at LHS, said she became a Talenthood tutor to, “Help out students in my town who need some extra help with school work.” “Getting tutored by a student is very beneficial for the other student because we have gone through classes with the same curriculum,” she added. Similarly, Gabriela Pesantez, a rising junior at Hewlett High School, explained

that she became a Talenthood tutor to “help younger children in any specialty area that they may need and make learning as enjoyable and productive as possible. Being a part of Talenthood also allows me to help a good cause.” She further explained her motivation for tutoring. “I think Talenthood is a great way for the community as a whole to learn more about a desired area of study or entertainment, while also connecting the younger children to high school students in their area,” she said. “Talenthood is a very helpful and productive way to learn and pass down knowledge to younger children in your community.” Rachel Belmont, a rising junior at LHS, had similar thoughts. “I think Talenthood will benefit many people by giving parents and kids the help they need,” she said. “Talenthood provides help in school matters as well as extracurricular. Talenthood is a great way for kids to learn and interact with older kids.” All of the tutors work diligently to provide children with helpful resources, ideas and skills. Madison Shvartsshteyn, a rising junior at Hewlett High School, said she hoped to accomplish her goals by tutoring. “If I help even just one child, that would satisfy me,” she said. For more information, visit the Talenthood website (Talenthood.com), follow Lynbrook/Hewlett’s Talenthood Facebook page (Talenthood Lynbrook-Hewlett), and sign up for the Talenthood App.

Lynbrook to host large Veterans’ Day Parade By Mike SMollinS msmollins@liherald.com

Lynbrook village officials are planning to host an intra-municipality Veterans’ Day Parade, rain or shine, on Nov. 7 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. The villages of Valley Stream, Rockville Centre, East Rockaway, Malverne and South Floral Park have already shared an interest in participating in the event, and Lynbrook is seeking other municipalities to join. The benefits of the event will include locating, recognizing and incorporating all WWII veterans into the parade. It will also offer villages an opportunity to invite veterans from all wars and branches of services to march or ride alongside fellow veterans in recognition of their service and to invite the community to participate by purchasing novelty war bonds that can be bought through the village’s website in the name of a family member or in honor of someone who served. Additionally, local senior living facilities and vintage car clubs have offered transportation for veterans during the parade. The war bonds will be offered in the following denominations: ■ Victory Bond ($20) ■ Liberty Bond ($100)

lynBrook AMericAn legion Post 335 members marched in the annual Memorial Day parade in 2018. Lynbrook officials are planning a large-scale Veterans’ Day parade in November, pending coronavirus restrictions. ■ Freedom Bond ($500) ■ Constitution Bond ($1,000) ■ Peace Bond ($5,000) All bonds purchased will be recognized online and at Greis Park, which will serve as the parade’s final stop. After parade-related expenses are complete, all remaining funds will be forwarded to the United Veterans’ Organization to administer an endowment for disbursement to

aid the homeless veterans. The parade route will be in Lynbrook, commencing on Merrick Road from Ocean Avenue, heading west, turning left on Horton Avenue and ending at Greis Park. The festivities will include armored vehicles from the Nassau County Armor Museum, WWII re-enactors, local marching bands, civic organizations, members of the Lynbrook Fire Department and floats depicting iconic moments of

WWII. At Greis Park, there will be a static display of WWII memorabilia, the judging of floats, food and entertainment. Veteran organizations from all communities are welcome to join. A guest speaker will be present at closing ceremonies and veterans’ services will also be available. Questions should be directed to Mayor Alan Beach’s office at (516) 599-8300 ext. 201.

Continued from page 1 choose between remote-only instruction or full in-person instruction. The Voyager Program, an advanced course of study available to high-scoring students, will be suspended for the school year. Students entering middle and high school, in grades six through 12, will have the choice between remote-only and hybrid options. Remote students will join live-streamed classes, following their typical class schedule. For the hybrid option, students whose last names begin with the letters A to L will attend in person one day, and those with last names beginning with M to Z will attend the following day. On days that students are not in school, they will be expected to attend remote classes. “Our school district’s primary goal is to support our students academically, socially, emotionally and, most importantly, to do so in a safe manner,” Superintendent Dr. Melissa Burak wrote in a letter to district parents. Students will be pre-screened at home before they come to school. To enter a building, they must have their temperature checked, and it cannot exceed 100 degrees. All students and staff are also required to fill out a survey before each school day; those with a green pass will be allowed in the building, whereas those with a red pass will be asked to return home. Students who show symptoms of Covid-19 will be escorted by staff members to an isolation room, where the school nurse will assess them and contact their parents or guardians and request that they come and pick them up. Hallways and stairwells will be one direction only, and social-distancing signs will be posted around the buildings, including information on covering one’s cough and sneeze. Time between classes in the middle and high schools will be increased to 10 minutes, requiring compacted lessons and curricula. Classrooms will be configured to allow for social distancing, and seats will be adjusted to face one direction. Clear polycarbonate shielding is being installed on student, teacher, main office and greeter desks. Portable sinks are also being installed in key areas, and gymnasiums will be converted to cafeterias. The East Rockaway School District also engaged more than 100 stakeholders from the school and community to develop plans for the reopening of schools. They have created a three-option model

Lynbrook board of Education President William Belmont said he was pleased that Gov. Andrew Cuomo gave the OK for schools to open this fall, noting that school officials’ goal is to have students return safely. for students in all grades, including full in-person, hybrid and remote-only models. Families in the community recently completed a survey about returning to school. Roughly 8 percent of families said they might not want their children to return in the fall, while 22 percent were unsure about their children returning to in-person learning, and 70 percent were confident about having their children go back to school. Students who chose the remote-only model would take part in all classes via live-stream, following their regular class schedule. Classrooms in all schools will be outfitted with cameras to provide livestreaming. Remote students may switch to the hybrid model at the end of the first marking period. Should state officials close schools because of a Covid-19 spike, the district would be required to revert to a version of the remote-only model. The East Rockaway School District will ensure that all teachers receive training and instructional tools needed to support students, assess their progress and provide regular feedback.

Staff will be trained in providing trauma-informed care for students who are most significantly affected by the pandemic and resulting school closure. A student/parent survey will be released soon to meet the needs of these students. At the elementary level, students will eat lunch in classrooms. At the secondary level, students will eat in the cafeteria and in a classroom in the middle school wing. In accordance with SED guidelines, meals will be available for students on the hybrid or full-remote learning model. “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the over 100 administrators, faculty, staff and parents who provided input in the development of our plan,” Ruiz said. “We are creating something completely new in order to address the extraordinary situation the pandemic presents. Your support and ongoing twoway communication will help to ensure that our re-entry to school is safe and effective for everyone in our school community. I thank you for your patience and cooperation as we navigate these unprecedented circumstances.”

Inside LI webinar to focus on higher ed In the coming weeks, university campuses across Nassau County will come alive again with the sights and sounds of students in class, learning in person, after the coronavirus pandemic caused an abrupt halt to the spring semester and sent thousands of students packing for home for seven weeks of virtual classes. The question is, how do universities open amid the ongoing pandemic, which is now under control in New York — with a 1 percent infection rate holding steady since early June — but is still raging in parts across the country, particularly in the South, West and increasingly the Midwest? Inside LI, a production of RichnerLive, will have answers this Friday, Aug. 21, at 10 a.m. during a live, 45-minute webinar with a number of Long Island’s top higher-education leaders, including: ■ Dr. James Lentini, president of Molloy College. ■ Dr. Christine Riordan, president of Adelphi College. ■ Dr. Gabrielle St. Léger, assistant vice president and dean of students at Hofstra University. ■ Dr. Jermaine Williams, president of Nassau Community College.

Also joining in the discussion will be Dr. Aaron Glatt, chairman of the Department of Medicine at Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital in Oceanside, to offer a medical perspective on how to open colleges and universities safely. Skye Ostreicher, of Inside LI and Herald Community Newspapers, will moderate. Inside LI and the Herald will offer a series of free webinars in the coming weeks and months to help inform people about the salient issues surrounding the Covid-19 crisis to empower them to make smart decisions for themselves and their families.

Q. During the recent storm, our neighbor’s tree blew down. Ironically, we had our very tall and weak-looking trees removed last spring, and while they were being cut, some twigs landed on our neighbor’s driveway, near her very expensive car. Instead of saying anything, she called the police, who told us about it. The twigs were swept up and life went on. Fast forward, her front-yard tree has crashed through the top of her car and her roof and skyAsk The lights. Part of the tree took Architect down our power lines and is sitting square in our front yard. We didn’t call the police, but are wondering, is she responsible for removing the tree section that landed in our yard, or just the part that hit her car and house? We can’t imagine tree removers would leave the half in our yard, but after the twig incident we wouldn’t put it past onte eeper her.

A. Another case of defining boundaries, both mentally and physically. People have different perceptions about territory and what defines it. What seems petty to you may seem defined to your neighbor. That was probably the inspiration for poet Robert Frost’s poignant prose that “Good fences make good neighbors.” The group America sang, “You stay on your side and I’ll stay on mine; you take what you want and I’ll take the sunshine.” There will be a lot more sunshine without that tree, but that doesn’t prevent your neighbor from acting shady, and you have good reason to suspect that they won’t do the right thing and clean up the tree’s mess. Since I’m not an attorney, I consulted people who are. The consensus is that what lands on your property is yours, basically. Otherwise you would have to show that the action was deliberate, that your neighbor planned for the tree to fall on your yard or that they were negligent in not taking steps to prevent it. If the tree was rotted and limbs were barely hanging on, and if there was proof that your neighbor ignored documented warnings of impending collapse, there might be reason to hold them responsible. Right now they’re probably not focused on the police episode, and even though you feel a little smug about the damage they’re experiencing, it’s probably a bad idea to get into a discussion about it with them. When the workers are clearing the tree away, it would make sense to express to them the need to remove the whole thing, not just the lower half sitting on the roof of your neighbor’s car. They will, hopefully, understand the connection from the top to the bottom of a tree. King Solomon never really intended for a baby to be cut in half, and wisdom could prevail here as well. Also, verify if this is covered as windstorm insurance versus a hurricane. The policy may have a deductible that’s greater than the actual expense, if you have to pay the workers. Good luck! © 2020 Monte Leeper Readers are encouraged to send questions to yourhousedr@aol.com, with “Herald question” in the subject line, or to Herald Homes, 2 Endo Blvd., Garden City, NY 11530, Attn: Monte Leeper, architect.

opinions

he actions of the four Minneapolis police officers who caused the tragic death of George Floyd on Memorial Day were barbaric and shameful, and go against everything we as a society stand for. The officers were rightfully fired and have been criminally charged. They will stand trial in the coming months. In the wake of this disgraceful incident, antipolice demonstrations continue to spread across the United States and in Nassau County. As Americans, our First Amendment right to BiLL peacefully assemGaYLoR ble is paramount — a right that I defended while serving for over two decades as a lieutenant colonel in the United States military. While most of these rallies have been peaceful and respectful, a handful have been marked by violence, vandalism and looting. The common call of many protesters has been to defund the police departments of this nation. As a veteran, an

attorney and a Nassau County legislator, I believe that this is the most dangerous proposal that has come forth in recent months. Defunding police would have only negative consequences for the public. Slashing funding to police departments would reduce the number of police officers on our streets and could possibly lead to increased 911 response times. Overall, this could create a more dangerous Nassau County. No one wants a society filled with mayhem and lawlessness, nor a police force that doesn’t have the appropriate manpower to keep lawabiding citizens safe, but I worry that reducing funding for our law enforcement would bring about just that. The recent push by a Manhattan assemblywoman to disarm peace officers throughout the state adds to this concern about increased lawlessness. The bill she proposed would eliminate the right to possess a firearm by officers who prevent cruelty to animals, parole officers, probation officers, bay constables, uniformed court officers, waterfront and airline investigators and arson investigators as

well as court clerks, fire marshals and corrections officers. These peace officers are tasked with important law-enforcement duties, many of which are serious threats to the officers themselves. The bill is currently stalled, but could be revived in the future, adding another worry for those who keep the peace. Our police have made strides in building relationships in every neighborhood in Nassau County, and use community policing to keep neighborhoods safe. They have made Nassau one of the safest large suburban counties in the United States. There is always room for additional training and more resources to help police do an even better job. Reforms like refresher programs and body cameras could be implemented and prioritized, and would help ensure the safety of all residents. In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio has removed $1 billion from the Police Department under pressure from protesters. The city’s police commissioner has disbanded the plain-clothes anticrime units that were instrumental in transforming New York from one of the

hey have made Nassau one of the safest large suburban counties in the United States.

most dangerous cities to one of the safest in the world. With an increase in homicides and violent crime in New York, it is unjustifiable to disband these critical units. They must be reinstated. Amid calls to defund the police, I joined Lynbrook Mayor Alan Beach, members of the Lynbrook Police Department, community leaders and residents to show support for the men and women who work tirelessly every day to keep our community safe. I urge residents across the county to hang a blue ribbon on your home to show that you support law enforcement and appreciate their service. Thank you to the Nassau County Police Department, the village and city police departments, and the many NYPD officers who live in Nassau County for the work you do every day. George Floyd’s unforgivable death has rightfully placed an extremely few bad officers under a national microscope. Their actions do not represent the police as a whole. Police officers risk their lives every day to keep our families safe and protect our communities, businesses and properties. If we defund them, we will be punishing the many for the actions of a small few. Nassau County Legislator Bill Gaylor represents the 6th District.

Kudos for peace plan, but the prez still needs to go

“

he test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald

Let us assume that we all have first-rate intelligence. It’s a bit of a leap, because many Americans are wedged into a rigid binary belief set, either blue or red, either Trump or Biden, either Randi liberal or conserkReiss vative, with no room for any give. However, real life is more nuanced than that, and an evolved brain can process seemingly contradictory ideas. Last week, the president announced a historic peace initiative between the United Arab Emirates and Israel. The plan, developed by Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, offers a promising opportunity to bring together Arab countries and Israel on a path toward peaceful coexistence. The New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman wrote that the new peace plan is a “geopolitical earthquake.” The

positive implications are huge; other Persian Gulf states may find it in their interest to join the peace party. Friedman wrote, “There are really two coalitions in the region today — those who want to let the future bury the past and those who want the past to keep burying the future.” Credit goes to Trump and Kushner for finding a golden moment in a troubled hour. Experts will parse the details of the agreement for years: Why was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ready to agree? How did his own political problems play a part? Why was the UAE at this particular tipping point? We cannot be naïve, but no matter where we are on the political spectrum, it seems appropriate to take a breath and feel thankful for a promise kept in Middle East negotiations. At the same time — and here is where we need to acknowledge the cognitive dissonance in the air — the foreign policy success of the moment does not mitigate the powerful case against Trump as a viable candidate for re-election. It is somewhat like acknowledging that Richard Nixon was a skilled foreign policy negotiator, and that he was also a crook. He had to go.

Trump has a long and sordid history of lies, self-serving policies, authoritarian micro-aggressions, alleged crimes and glaring incompetence. Last week, as he was basking in the success of the Middle East deal, he was busy trying to dismantle the United States Postal Service in an admitted effort to disenfranchise prospective Democratic voters. He wants to reduce mail-in balloting in the belief that he will do better if fewer people get to exercise their right to vote. Trump is the master of bad-faith deals and selfserving policies. He isn’t even trying to disguise his motives. His handpicked guy at the USPS is laying off workers and decommissioning equipment just before the November election. When it comes to malfeasance in office, we citizens hardly know where to look first. From the early days of the Trump administration, ordering the separation of children from parents at the border, to the racist shout-outs after Charlottesville, to the evisceration of vital government departments, to the replacement of competent civil servants with inexperienced hacks, the reign of Trump has been a disaster. Last week, Friedman praised the

redit Trump and Kushner for finding a golden moment in a troubled hour. But . . .

Trump Middle East initiative. But Friedman has written three and a half years of columns calling out Trump for his misdeeds and reprehensible behavior. In February 2018, Friedman wrote of Russian interference in the 2016 election: “Our democracy is in serious danger . . . President Trump is either totally compromised by the Russians or is a towering fool, or both, but either way he has shown himself unwilling or unable to defend America against a Russian campaign to divide and undermine our democracy . . . This is code red. The biggest threat to the integrity of our democracy today is in the Oval Office.” Months ago, Friedman wrote about Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, slamming his “flat-out stupid” defiance of accepted health measures. I use Friedman as an example because he isn’t a one-note song. He gave credit this week where credit was due. I agree that bringing together the UAE and Israel on a path moving forward is a political success. We are grateful and hope for more good news from the region. At the same time, because we have nuanced brains and can process two ideas at once, we can understand how dangerous and uniquely unqualified this man is for the White House.

Support the U.S. Postal Service — period

he U.S. Postal Service is older than the United States itself: Benjamin Franklin appointed the first postmaster general in 1775, a year before the Revolution against Great Britain erupted. Ever since, the Postal Service has been woven into the very fabric of our democracy, ensuring that vital, and not so vital, information is conveyed from Point A to Point B, seemingly effortlessly. The work of the USPS is anything but effortless, though. It is a massive undertaking, requiring, as of 2019, more than 633,000 employees to move the mountains of mail that are sent daily across the country and around the world. Where, as a nation, would we be without the Postal Service? Being paper-based, the agency might seem anachronistic in an age of increasingly digital communication, and it has seen a steadily diminishing volume of mail over the years with the growing popularity of email. But millions of Americans, many without broadband connectivi-

Where to write You can find information on how to reach your congressional representative at the following websites: ■ U.S. Rep. Peter King, 2nd District: peteking.house.gov ty, still depend on “snail mail” as their primary source of communication with others. At the same time, vital goods, including medications, are sent by mail. Your Herald newspaper is mailed to you. We are thus dismayed to see the Postal Service, such a basic and integral part of the nation, become politicized in the months leading to the presidential election. It is increasingly apparent that President Trump is seeking to slow the service’s operations in order to disrupt mailin balloting, a shameful tactic given the importance of mail to so many Ameri-

cans. Congress must act immediately to provide adequate funding so the USPS can carry out its solemn duty through the election, when mail-in balloting is expected to spike as the coronavirus pandemic drags on. Many Americans in regions across the country are concerned about voting in person, and rightly so. Tell your congressional representative to support the Postal Service with a funding bill separate from any Covid-19 relief package — which, by the way, was still a no-go as of press time on Monday.

Our intersections are hazardous during storms

hen Tropical Storm Isaias roared across Long Island on Aug. 4 with 70-mph wind gusts, it brought down more than a thousand trees in Nassau County, cutting off electricity to large areas, including sections of major thoroughfares like Sunrise Highway and Merrick Road, among many others. That meant no power for stoplights, which tied up traffic and caused potentially hazardous conditions. Every intersection without power was an accident waiting to happen, with many motorists barreling along, seemingly oblivious to the potential dangers all around. Too many of Nassau’s intersections are hazardous enough under optimal condi-

tions — on a clear day with the lights working. Without lights, anything can happen. That’s why villages, towns, the county and the state must work together to develop better plans to ensure motorists’ safety in major intersections after a storm like Isaias. During the recent tempest, county police officers were at some intersections minding traffic flow, but too many others were without any law enforcement personnel. We can only surmise why — budget matters, perhaps, in the face of a historic fiscal crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic that is expected to lead to historic deficits for government at all levels. After Hurricane Sandy in 2012, we saw a greater number of police officers directing

letters Mansion memories stay strong To the Editor: I was taking a stroll through memory lane, online of course, and I came upon the Herald article, “East Rockaway mansion dating back to the 1800s to be razed” (Dec. 5-11, 2019). It broke my heart to think that this once lovely house was being destroyed, especially since I lived there for a brief moment in time from 1980 to 1982.

I was a young bride-to-be and my soon-to-be husband was enamored of this house. I was told that the owners, the Ruggianos, had lived there with Mrs. Ruggiano’s sister and her family. Her sister’s family lived upstairs (where I was going to rent), until their son Ricky died in a car crash down the street. While we lived there, I always got the creeps when I would have to go up to the top level. There was a door down the hall near that back staircase. You’d go up a cou-

traffic at intersections that were without power. We’d like to see them out in force during the next storm of this magnitude. But police can’t be everywhere, and that’s why we must consider alternatives. For example, could we not install solarpower backups at major intersections that would provide electricity to the lights until the main power lines could be re-energized? Could we not put up temporary stop signs at those intersections? Could we not install temporary orange barriers with flashing lights to warn motorists approaching intersections without power? All of these options require careful study, but now is the time to undertake such an effort — before the next Big One.

oPinions

olicing is a community service provided by a paramilitary organization. There are about 800,000 police officers across the U.S., and regardless of color or creed, we are all blue. We are charged with enforcing laws that we had no hand in creating. We are thrust into emotionally charged and volatile situations, with little preparation, and are expected to handle these encounters perfectly every time. Our distinct designation in the community, and the exclusive nature of our work, make it imperative that we have certain protections to effectively and safely execute our sworn duties. We take pride in pursuing the high standards that are expected of us, but we cannot be held to the imposBrian sible standard of weLLs trial by social media. Police officers across the country now question every decision they make, and wonder after every action if it will become the next viral video disseminated in an ongoing effort to destroy us. Because we are operating in this climate of fear, you will notice the negative effects in your neighborhood. In New York state, the choke hold ban and the repeal of Civil Rights Law 50-a are just two recent measures that have left police officers feeling bewildered and

betrayed. We have been stripped of our civil rights and the right to defend ourselves, at frightening speed. The persecution we are facing from federal, state and local officials is not courage. It is cowardice. Elected leaders kneel before the mob instead of standing with us. They cower behind us for protection and prosecute us when we provide it. We do our best every day, working difficult schedules, provided less training than we deserve, and most often dealing with people who are sad, angry, unbalanced and upset. People are unpredictable, situations are fluid and force is an unfortunate, yet essential, part of our profession. Attempts to mitigate it are understandable, but misguided. No police officer should ever kneel on a person’s neck for an extended period of time, especially someone in handcuffs, but to criminalize any sort of neck restraint is unreasonable. We face situations with dangerous, combative people who are bigger and stronger than we are. Taking them down by the neck is an effective option and, in some scenarios, the only one. A blanket prohibition of this tactic is naïve and ignorant of the rapid escalation of physical encounters.

fficers cannot be held to the impossible standard of trial by social media.

Letters ple of steps and that door led to the top floor. I later learned that this is where Ricky hung out with friends. Lots of “odd” events happened while we lived there, and I always suspected the house was haunted, but not in a bad way. My then-husband, Harry Hoppe, and I collected antiques and decorated each room with period pieces; a Victorian sitting room in the front (it had a bright green rug with big pink flowers when we moved in), an art deco bedroom, etc. I can see every room in my mind as if it were yesterday. The door that led to the apartment, the kitchen to the left, the large sitting room straight ahead, the hallway to the right, where the master bedroom was on the left, another room (rounded walls) on the right, a strange little closet with a toilet in it — your knees would just about hit the door if you sat on the toilet. Another room at the end of the hall, and then the hall turned left where the bathroom was and the back staircase. It was such a beautiful home, and the grounds were just magical. I entertained friends and family in our home and in the spacious yard quite often, and everyone would say that this was a special place. I loved living in that house, and I loved walking down the street to the Centre Avenue train station, getting coffee and a muffin at the corner shop

The most important point that can be imparted to the public is that in almost every tragic police encounter, there is a common denominator: Catastrophes can be avoided by compliance. If you do not resist arrest, there is virtually no chance that you will be killed by a police officer. And for all the hand-wringing, emotional outcries, calls for reform and greater emphasis on deescalation, no one seems to be addressing this point, which is the only one that can, with certainty, save lives. Rather than attacking us, our critics should partner with us. Civil Rights Law 50-a was put in place in 1976 to protect us from character assassination by defense attorneys. Its repeal allows any complaint made against police officers, even if unsubstantiated, to be used against us when we testify. Complaints are an unfortunate part of a job spent telling people what they cannot do. Obligation to take enforcement action does not make for happy customers. Since the repeal of 50-a, any person who is angry with an officer can file a complaint, which is nothing new. What is new is that that complaint can now be introduced against the officer whenever

he or she gives sworn testimony. The ability to testify credibly is an essential part of a police officer’s job. If that testimony is now going to be discredited because of unrelated complaints or incidents, then shame as a so that testimony will no longer have any rightfu effect. The recent anti-police laws that have charge ing mo been passed are disgraceful, and their detrimental effects will continue to be felt until they are repealed. There is room for improvement in any profession, but the idea that policing, as we know it, must be reinvented is not practical. No one would like to see force removed from our profession more than the police, but unfortunately, no one will ever be able to do that. The goal cannot be to destroy or defund the police. That will not stop criminal behavior; it will embolden it. The goal needs to be public education and individual compliance with wellestablished laws. That is the only path we can take to avert the tragedies that cause so much chaos in our communities. Until servin our elected officials stop pandering and ant col get off their knees, this message will not While be imparted, and our society will contin- peacefu been m ue to collapse into chaos. looting Brian Wells is president of the Long Beach The Police Benevolent Association.

My heart is still so sad that they could not preserve this special home.

Buildings need street addresses To the Editor: It’s time Nassau County passed legislation to require every building, or every other building, in the county to display its street address clearly and visibly on its front.

The problem is exacerbated by different towns or villages merg-

Drivers must slow down when searching for an address, which often isn’t even posted, impeding traffic in the process.
