A ‘new wave into the future’ Local educators adapt to distance learning By Nakeem GraNt ngrant@liherald.com

From late March 2020 through the end of June, schools worked remotely because of the coronavirus pandemic. As a new school year be g an in Se ptember, schools combined in-person and distance learning into hybrid formats. Teachers had to scramble to get up to speed on adapting the technology to their in-classroom

lessons. Educators at all levels acknowledged that making the transition to a virtual format had its challenges. “We started off very apprehensive, and everyone was really nervous about how things would go,” said Joseph Eaderoso, an eighthgrade algebra teacher at Howard T. Herber Middle School in Malverne. “I’ve been here for 24 years and I’ve never experienced anything quite like this.” The Malverne School District

shifted to remote learning 14 months ago, and last September the middle school allowed students in class every other day. “As the year went on, we all settled in and we got into a good routine,” Eaderoso recounted. “We have great technology as far as delivering instruction goes. I was able to deliver the same instruction as if they were in person, and I’m right at the same Continued on page 12

Meet Malverne’s Board of Education candidates By NAkEEm GrANt ngrant@liherald.com

Four candidates are running for two open Board of Education seats in the Malverne School District’s May 18 election. The Herald sent brief questionnaires to the candidates, and their answers have been edited for brevity and clarity. Incumbent Danielle Hopkins is running for re-election, and is being challenged by Nicole Henderson. Hopkins, who has been a trustee with the board for the past 16 years, said she was running again to continue the work she has accomplished with her fellow trustees. “We have greatly increased the number of Advanced Placement courses, which has allowed our graduates to enter college with a substantial number of college credits,” Hopkins said. “As a result, our high school made the National A.P. Honor Roll several times for the rising number of students who take and pass A.P. exams.” Hopkins added that the expansion of the district’s curriculum through the implementation of Project Lead the Way has also attributed to Malverne’s success over the past five years. Hopkins said that if re-elected, one of the things she would like to focus on is finding ways to expand the district’s foreign language curriculum. “We need to bring foreign language instruction to the lower grades and offer additional languages,” Hopkins said. “In particular, we hope to eventually offer American Sign Language/Latin courses or Mandarin. In addition, we need to explore partnerships with local universi-

this YEAr’s BudGEt vote and trustee election are taking place at Howard T. Herber Middle School, at 75 Ocean Ave., on May 18 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. ties to offer college level courses and encourage local students to pursue teaching careers.” Henderson said she chose to run because she wants to provide a new perspective on the board, which is representation of the elementary level. “I want to advocate for continued success beginning at Kindergarten,” Henderson said. “In addition to being a voice for the elementary students, my efforts as a board member would center on serving all of the children in the community; because one child

is no more important than another. Our schools are here to serve the educational needs of all the children.” Building a bridge between parents, students and administrators throughout the district, Henderson said, is one of her main goals, if elected. She would also like to celebrate the district’s diversity. “We need to center racial equity holistically in our district,” Henderson said. “That means the budget, the curriculum, the staffing, everything. Equity means understanding what specific challenges

and barriers are faced by students and providing support.” Candidates Kathleen Nolan-Kasal and Joyce Berry are running against each other for the seat of Trustee Phyllis Tinsley, who chose not to seek re-election. Having been involved in several school community groups over the past nine years, Nolan-Kasal said that she would like to take on a greater role with the hope being elected as trustee. “I want to put into place more opportunities for all community members to be more connected to the schools,” NolanKasal said. “I want to be involved in helping our district move beyond this most difficult year (plus). While the pandemic made this past year extremely challenging on so many levels, it also provided opportunities . . . to think about teaching, learning, community involvement and social/emotional support in new ways.” An active member in the PTAs at the elementary, middle and high school levels, Berry said she decided to run for trustee to add a voice from the Lynbrook community. “While I feel the board has done an excellent job over the years, it is important for each of our communities to have a representative on the board,” Berry said. “In addition, my extensive experience as a president of the various PTAs in the district and the Central Council PTA, gives me an in-depth knowledge and understanding of our district schools and the needs of our communities.” This year’s budget vote and trustee election are taking place at Howard T. Herber Middle School, at 75 Ocean Ave., on May 18 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Residents team up for cleanup at Hall’s Pond By Nakeem GraNt ngrant@liherald.com

More than 40 volunteers gathered at Hall’s Pond Park in West Hempstead for the West Hempstead Community Support Association’s annual cleanup at the park on May 2. Several community groups along with local elected officials such as County Executive Laura Curran and Deputy Parks Comm i s s i o n e r A n d rew G o l d stein teamed up to collect trash. “The residents that helped were all eager to help and said they love our small town,” said West Hempstead Community Support Association PresmaureeN ident Maureen GreeNBerG Greenberg. President, Among the community W.H. Community Support Association groups to join the cleanup were a c t iv i s t s w i t h Long Island Orchestrating for Nature, also known as LION, an animal advocacy nonprofit. LION President and Founder John Di Leonardo, of Malverne, said the group rescued an injured duck who was attacked by two other ducks. “We also had to call the police on two fishers who were not only illegally fishing at the park, but also illegally feeding the ducks bread, which both pollutes the water and causes malnutrition in the ducks,” Leonardo said. Leonardo also said that while fish are now known to feel pain as acutely as mammals do, more fish are killed for food each year than all other animals combined. “Fishing doesn’t just hurt fish,” he said. “Every year, millions of birds, turtles, and other animals suffer debilitating injuries after swallowing hooks or becoming entangled in fishing line, including many we’ve rescued at Halls Pond where it’s illegal to fish.” Greenberg said that the county’s dump truck was filled with trash from the park by the end of the cleanup.

Seventeen high School students, including one from Malverne High School and another from West Hempstead High School, were honored during State Assemblywoman Judy Griffin’s annual Student Standout Awards on May 2.

Celebrating Malverne, W.H. student standouts the National Honor Society. He is a member of the Robotics Coding team, Media Club, Model UN, and Foreign Language club. Other community service and outreach projects he takes part in is volunteering at the Malverne Library to teach children how to be better readers, participating in his church clean-up, working Parent Teacher Conference nights, walking in the Light the Night Walk to raise awareness and raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Furthermore, he is an avid pianist who has played piano for the past six years. Above all, he is a team player who would always help another in need of assistance, whether it be a teacher or student in the classroom, a coach or teammate on the court or a friend. Ma said he hopes to study computer science and engineering in college. West Hempstead High School scholar Raees Bacchus is passionate about science and takes great joy in working on different projects. Last year, he was the cofounder of the school’s first STEM club. In his junior year, he also had the opportunity of being selected as one of five students to attend a conference called Erase Racism and he was one of the first students selected by his counselor. Griffin noted that Bacchus is mature, respectful and one that faculty has said can be counted on. During that conference, he brought great ideas to the conversation and also absorbed a lot of information that he then brought back to school with him. Griffin said she expects Bacchus to take on more leadership roles and responsibilities as he progresses to college. Academically, Bacchus will graduate near the very top of his class and is now thriving in five A.P. classes. He was recognized for his incredible, innate work ethic, and he appreciates the importance of a solid education. Griffin also said that he truly enjoys school and the opportunities that await him.

State Assemblywoman Judy Griffin hosted her third annual Student Standout Awards at the Center for Science Teaching and Learning in Rockville Centre on May 2. Griffin recognized 17 high school students, including one from Malverne High School and another from West Hempstead High School, who have stood out in their school and communities. “Today recognizes those incredible students who standout in their schools and communities,” Griffin said in a news release. “These students serve as role models and are an inspiration for their peers. I am so proud to give these students the New York State Assembly Student Standout Award and I look forward to seeing where it takes them.” Griffin added that these students were chosen as the only scholar from their school because they stood out for their exceptional leadership, kindness, inclusiveness, helpfulness, work ethic, creativity, career-oriented, motivation or civic engagement. Malverne High School student Brandon Ma was recognized for his academic strength, commitment to self-growth, exceptional character, and one who works diligently to make positive change within his community. Ma maintained Honor Roll status throughout high school and will graduate with his Regents diploma with advanced designation and mastery in science, while challenging himself to take honors, Advanced Placement and Project Lead the Way-level courses.

Airpower Museum to host Memorial Day shows In observance of Memorial Day Weekend, the American Airpower Museum in Farmingdale will once again join in the Jones Beach Air Show, flying its “Arsenal of Democracy” warbirds over Jones Beach on Saturday and Sunday, May 29 and 30.. AAM’s fleet of restored military aircraft will include a B-25 Mitchell Bomber, Douglas C-47 Skytrain troop transporter, Grumman TBM Avenger Torpedo Bomber, Curtiss P-40 Flying Tiger, P-51D Mustang Fighter, AT-6 Texan Warbird and AT28D5 Nomad Vietnam Era Fighter. On May 29 and 30, Hangar 3 will open at 10 a.m. Arrive early, park your car, sign in and enjoy the exhibits. During the morning, visitors will be called outside to watch as pilots start their engines, taxi and lift off, performing fly-bys with Republic Air Traffic Control permission, before leaving to join the Jones Beach Air Show. Have lunch and later on watch as the aircraft return from Jones Beach in the afternoon, touch down and taxi back to Hangar 3. Flight experiences will also be available each day on AAM’s AT-6 Texan and Waco Biplane. AAM will also welcome three visiting U.S. Navy EF/A-18 Super Hornets from May 27 to 30. The Hornets are supersonic combat jets, designed as both fighters and attack aircraft. Exclusive to AAM, Hornets are not in the Jones Beach Air Show and will be on AAM’s ramp all four days. Be there early in the morning as the Hornets touch down at Republic on Thursday, May 27. Hornets are scheduled to depart on May 31 or June 1. AAM’s World War II aircraft will also hold practice flybys Thursday and Friday in the morning and afternoon. According to AAM founder Jeff Clyman, the goal for this four-day salute is two-fold: “To honor the men and women of the ‘Greatest Generation’ who built, maintained and piloted the iconic warbirds of yesteryear in a bold defense of freedom during World War II, as well as active duty military, national guard and reservists who continue this mission and command the skies in

Among the AircrAft featured in the American Airpower Museum’s Memorial Day shows will be the Grumman TBM Avenger, a World War II era fighter plane. advanced supersonic jet aircraft to our present day.” Since everyone cannot be at Jones Beach on Saturday and Sunday, Clyman decided to stage this four-day salute so people on the beach, as well as those closer to home, can enjoy AAM’s warbirds. So, if you want to avoid the Wantagh Parkway crawl to Jones Beach, you can park instead for free in AAM’s lot and along New Highway. The Air Show will also feature a U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II, “The Warthog,” flying over Jones Beach. AAM has its own A-10, the nation’s premier close air support attack aircraft, and it will be display outside Hangar 3, with staff ready to answer questions about its special

features and armaments. Admission for adults is $15; seniors and veterans, $10; and children ages 5 to 12, $8. Tickets and pre-registration are not required, and admission is on a first-come, firstserved basis. The museum can now operate at 100 percent capacity, in accordance with New York’s May 19 lifting of pandemic capacity limits. However, there is still a need for social distancing, and guests must wear face masks and have their temperatures taken at the door. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on all four days, plus AAM will be open Monday, May 31, Memorial Day.

VALLEY STREAM Manager, CTown Supermarket, Elmont

he pandemic changed my job a lot. It has been a lot of work all the time. When the pandemic first hit, there were more people in the store than ever before. It brought in more business because a lot of other supermarket locations closed, but ours stayed open. More people from Elmont and from neighboring towns and villages came to shop at our supermarket. I was happy about having more business because we were serving more of humanity, which is a blessing. Things have recently gone back to normal, with a regular amount of people coming to the store on a regular basis because more supermarkets are open now. Overall, the pandemic has been tough on everyone. When it first hit, most people were staying home, and they couldn’t really

go anywhere. It was very hard for everyone. I still don’t really go anywhere outside of work because I don't want to get infected. But I had to keep going to work, and at times I didn’t want to be close to anyone. However, we have so many customers asking for different things, and sometimes I have to get close to them. My job is part of helping to supply and meet the needs of our community. I have to keep going and keep working no matter what happens. People need to eat in the neighborhood. and they need the food that we provide in order to survive and live. We can’t just close and stop working. Now, with the vaccines available, I'm getting used to the new normal.

had just purchased Broadway Tavern in December 2019. We renovated the interior, and we even expanded the bar with an outdoor section. We had to completely renovate inside the bar, too, because it was old and looked dirty. At 8:00 on March 16, 2020, we were forced to shut down everything. I tried to give my bartenders a few dollars to keep them going, because obviously they were struggling. When we were allowed to reopen two months later, we had a live band playing, and the place was filled to capacity on the first night. During the summer we did really well, because no one wanted to be inside. In the fall, as it got cooler, business dwindled a bit, and I had to cut back on our staff. We’ve basically done whatever we could

to stay alive during the winter months. This has been a tough time for us, but I’m feeling confident about the future. The best thing we did was spend the money to put this outdoor venue together. People want to be outside, anyway, because it’s a little more comfortable now. The town has been very cooperative in giving us whatever we need. The mayor of Malverne has been more than accommodating, and the village board has really tried their best to support us in any way possible.

THEIR FRONT-LINE STORIES IN THEIR OWN WORDS RANDY ROSNER

VALLEY STREAM Manager, King Kullen

because we were deemed essential from the get-go. Just the added stress in terms of the social distancing, the fear in terms of not really knowing the nature of the virus and how to go about it, that was definitely real, but as more information has come out about the virus, that’s subsided for the most part. It’s all about being able to adjust to the climate. At least in terms of how normal it can be, it’s returned to some sort of normalcy, at least. We’re still wearing the mask, but at this point, it's pretty much like a part of my face. When I’m not even at work, I don’t realize it’s there I’m wearing it so much. It’s kind of like that episode of "Twilight Zone" when the masks get stuck to the face.

rom a business standpoint, the pandemic has forced us to find other ways to generate revenue to try and stay afloat. We started a shipping business, which helped us maintain sales. Doing things like that has helped us stay afloat. While we've always maintained a clean store, the pandemic helped us become even more conscious of it. We're doing things from a cleaning standpoint that we’ve never done before on a minute-to-minute basis, and I believe it has helped us maintain an even cleaner store. We're still using the same cleaning procedures, such as constantly washing down tables and cleaning counters. So far this spring, things have been really good business-wise. People have been coming back in, sitting both inside and outside.

HERALD HOMETOWN HERO

Business has been picking up, and we're close to being back to where we're supposed to be. We're not back to 100 percent yet, but we’re back to about 75 to 80 percent of where we were prior to the pandemic. I’m very happy about that, and I’m excited about things going forward as we approach the summer. I want to thank the customers with all my heart for supporting us and for coming in. They're trusting us in that we're keeping a clean store and that we're still manufacturing the same great food and bagels. They really have shown support for us throughout. I’m very grateful for the support of the community. I hope everyone continues to stay safe during these times.

efinitely because of Covid, it’s made it a lot harder in terms of getting things done. In terms of the social distancing, there’s a lot more tension with the employees and the customers just because of the atmosphere of everything going on. But I think after the first couple of months of Covid, both the customers and employees became more adapted to it. At least the drama in the store kind of subsided for the most part. Actually, for most retail, especially the grocery industry, Covid has actually been a saving grace in terms of profit. Grocery chains across the country have seen record profits. Within the first couple of months of Covid, it didn’t matter what product it was, it was flying off the shelf. We’re one of the few businesses that’s actually been open the entire time

Educators adapt to new pandemic normal continued from front page point in our curriculum as previous years.” Eaderoso said he mainly used WebEx, meeting with students virtually to help them with math problems. While the program was very user-friendly, he said, it took time for some of his students to adapt. “Some of the students still need the structure of live, in-person school every day,” he said. Eaderoso said he realized that his work was paying off when he started receiving kind messages from his students. One, Joseline Hernandez Guzman, thanked him after class last March for taking time to help every student. “Us students really appreciate you doing extra help and being available at any time to help us with homework questions or just understand a whole lesson,” Hernandez Guzman wrote to Eaderoso. “You probably don’t know it, but we really appreciate it. This shows that you care about us and our future.” Eaderoso, who is now prepping his students for the state’s year-end Regents exam, said that the transition from classroom to remote learning required the help of his colleagues in the math department. “I have to give kudos to my administration team in my building and in the district,” he said. “They supplied the ammunition to make all of this possible. They’ve done a great job in setting us up to provide our students with everything they need to suc-

I think it’s definitely a new wave into the future. I can’t imagine going back to the old ways of teaching.” Dr. Bret Bennington, the chairman of the department of geology, environment and sustainability at Hofstra University, said that moving lectures to a virtual format was easy, but organizing the laboratory-based classes was difficult. “We have a planet Earth course, which is an introduction-to-geology course where the students work with rocks and minerals,” said Bennington, of West Hempstead.

“As the department chairman, I had to figure out how we can recreate these lab experiences in ways they could be done online and . . . taught by multiple faculty members.” First, Bennington recorded videos on Zoom, in which he explained what the different lab assignments were about. Then he made videos with his iPhone of him picking up specimens and turning them toward the camera. He also created virtual labs, showing students all the things they would observe if they were in the class-

room. In addition, Bennington set up a recording studio in his classroom and used Keynote, a program similar to PowerPoint, to make his presentations. Half of his students were allowed to return in person last September, but everyone had to be distanced. “Being in a classroom, but not being able to directly interact with people, is much different than being on Zoom,” he said. In the hope of keeping his students engaged, Bennington also used another presentation program, Prezi, to share lab assignments, which had numerous icons with different specimens. Students would click on one of the icons and then they could see photos and videos of each specimen. The department normally plans annual field trips to places such as the Galápagos Islands to study the environment and wildlife. Instead, for his historical geology class this semester, Bennington used Google Earth to identify different rocks. He said he anticipated running all of his classes simultaneously via Zoom for students who can’t attend in person. “It’s so easy to do, so why not?” he said. “I think when all is said and done, we’ll have made advances in the way we teach, because we had to go through this. I think this sort of kicked us in the rears and pushed us toward the future, but that’s often what happens in a crisis situation. We can’t wait to have everybody back.”

Post-pandemic fitness

Get back to your routine sanely and safely

hile some folks kept up with their fitness routines through zoom sessions and other forms of virtual workouts, even getting outside at times to work out, for many the pandemic meant too much sitting, TV binging and accumulating those dreaded pandemic pounds. Now, with vaccinations happening, and life seemingly on the rebound, the warm weather is an enticement to restart or even finally begin a consistent exercise program for the first time. On one hand: Hooray! It’ll be great to be back in the groove, take a class and see trainers/coaches and classmates I haven’t seen in forever! On the other hand: Yikes! What if I can’t keep up? What if I’ve lost everything I worked so hard to attain? First, know that hope is far from lost. But also realize that unless you’ve diligently kept up your training — perhaps with at-home workouts — you probably will have lost some effects, particularly cardiovascularly. Manage your expectations “Fitness takes longer to gain than it does to lose,” says Laurie P. Whitsel, vice president of policy research and translation for the American Heart Association. But try not to despair, she says. Life has been crazy lately, so you just have to forgive yourself and move forward. “If you’ve taken a break during Covid-19, that’s fine,” Dr. Whitsel says. “This is a stressful time. Maybe we’ve devoted more time to our families, or we’re adjusting to working a different way. So take time off; that’s OK. Then jump back in and do those wonderful things for your heart. You don’t want to give that up.” When workouts do get sporadic or cease completely, that starts the body into what’s known as the detraining effect — “an interesting area of research,” says exercise physiologist Fabio Comana. Some people, studies have shown, may lose training effects in a few days; for others, it may take a month or more. Just how quickly depends on factors like age, general health, the presence of underlying issues such as diabetes, and VO2 max (a measure of how much oxygen the body utilizes during intense workouts). “Let’s say you trained and had an amazing VO2 max in the 60s,” Comana says. “Then you stop. It may drop 10 percent, so you’re down to 54. That’s still high, and in dayto-day living you won’t be winded. But if you’re an older adult with a 25 VO2 max and have a 10 percent drop, it will compromise your activities of daily living.”

What you’ve lost you can get back Cardiovascular fitness tends to be lost more quickly than muscle strength, Comana says. Here’s why: “Muscle adaptations are architectural changes; that is, you’re building bigger muscles,” Comana explains. “But cardiovascular fitness is a mechanism for becoming more efficient, rather than a structure.” Added to that physical mix is what’s going on in our brains. “Any time we’re confronted with a decision” — whether to exercise or not, maybe — “our brains are doing a sort of analysis, weighing the benefits of the decision with the potential costs,” says neuroscientist Shannon Odell. “After falling out of the habit of exercising or of taking time to focus on fitness, that cost may feel extra high,” says Dr. Odell, who admits to slipping out of her own exercise routine. “And research suggests that our brains are wired to follow the path of least resistance, or to make choices that require the least amount of effort.” So, since not doing anything is easier than doing something, no wonder we may be kind of in limbo about how, when and — hearing how quickly we’ve lost fitness — why to start back. That said, please don’t make a U-turn from the door of your recently reopened gym/fitness studio and head back to your car. Ditto for refraining from plopping back down on your favorite sofa with a bag of chips and your favorite beverage. Because while getting back to your pre-pandemic level may seem like a looming mountaintop, you can do it. And once you reach the summit, you’ll see that breathtaking view and feel that sense of accomplishment all over again. Plus, your workout buddies are counting on you — to do it, and to motivate them to do it, too. “We tend to focus on weight,” Dr. Whitsel says, “but we really need to emphasize overall the benefits of physical activity, the mental health and well-being, the positive effect on the cardiovascular system, on your muscles; you’ll feel stronger, have better balance and flexibility, and reduce the risk of falls.” It’s all a matter of feeling safe, of getting started, of planning ahead, of not being hard on yourself if you’re out of breath long before you used to be.

Above photo: Before beginning a fitness routine after a long break from physical activity, experts say it’s best to set realistic expectations and ease into exercise to avoid injuries.

Ease back in

Get (re)started and achieve results without frustration Exercise is a wonder drug, but you can’t feel the effects until you fill your own prescription. “In this time of Covid and stress, exercise can be a great relief for your body and your mind,” Dr. Laurie P. Whitsel says. “It’s more important than ever.” If you’ve been away from exercise, or just lax in consistency, Fabio Comana says the first thing to consider goes beyond physiology. “A lot of times when we’ve detrained, it may not be our choice; it may be circumstances,” he says. “Say you had no ability to work out for a month or two. You’ve not just detrained; you’ve changed your behavior.” Start to re-engage those behaviors that got you in shape; get back to exercising consistently, he says. Surprisingly, motivation doesn’t work as well as believing in yourself to accomplish something. “Where are you most likely to be successful?” he says. “The human brain doesn’t like uncertainty, but that’s what Covid has presented to us — uncertainty. The best way to overcome it is to develop structure.” Try a behavior once and evaluate it, he says. “If it’s something enjoyable and you could do it again, move it to two times and then to three. It’s building tiny habits and creating an automatic process.” Studies show the best way to stay motivated is by setting “small, difficult but still achievable goals,” Dr. Odell says. “So don’t expect yourself to hit that personal best the first week. Remember: Slow and steady.” The silver lining of all this? “We’ll probably recondition faster the second time than the first,” Comana says. Reaching your goal requires mak-

ing your comeback as successful as possible. Plan ahead: When you’ve scheduled a class and put it on your calendar, you’re more likely than not to show up. It’s a matter of holding yourself accountable. You wouldn’t schedule a haircut or a dental appointment and just not show up, would you? Lighten up on yourself: OK, you’ve been doing some neighborhood walking, maybe some crunches and push-ups, maybe some at-home workouts. Now you are ready to really push forward. f you don’t see results from your new workout routine right away, it can get frustrating, and you may be tempted to give up. But remember, it will only get easier with time. Listen to your body: If it’s telling you to slow down or take an option suggested by your instructor, go for it. “You’re feeling appropriate for where you are,” Dr. Whitsel says. “Don’t feel guilty; it’s all part of ramping back up.” Encourage each other: “It’s human nature to be competitive,” Comana says, “but the coach can change the mindshift from competitive to supportive. Pick up your neighbor; it’s fortunate for them and fortunate for you.” Additionally, he says, “Diminish the urge to peek over and see how the person next to you is doing.” And since social distancing keeps us from hugging or high-fiving each other at the end of class, it’s especially important to acknowledge classmates with a two-word call-out: “Great job!” Above photo: The key to returning to exercise safely after a long break is to take small steps and frequently change up your routine, according to fitness experts.

outh Shore Rehabilitation is one of the premiere skilled nursing facilities on Long Island. One of South Shore’s main specialties is their 40-bed Vent Unit. It offers all kinds of Respiratory services, including Vent, Trache, Cpap, and BiPap. High Flow Oxygen was added this year to help aid patients during the pandemic who were having trouble breathing without the assistance of copious amounts of O2 being pumped into their lungs. The team is pleased to welcome a new pulmonologist, Dr Sam Davidoff, who is the Director of Pulmonology at Good Samaritan Hospital and cares for all the various pulmonary patients that are also cared for at South Shore. Under the auspices of Kilita Redmund, the Director of Respiratory Therapy at South Shore, the staff has successfully decannulated over 23 patients, 20 of whom were on vents due to Covid-19. They started doing a goodbye parade for each resident that was decannulated and able to return home. This paved the way for many feel-good moments

between the residents and their families. The team continues to wean patients off of vents and traches and expect many more goodbye parades to come.

Take precautions so that the sun is friend not foe

Many people find it impossible to think about summer without conjuring visions of spending endless hours outdoors from morning until evening, whether beachside, on the open water or even floating in a backyard pool. Especially now, as we begin to emerge from the pandemic, outside — making up for 2020’s “lost summer” — is where we want to be. Although a certain measure of sun exposure is required for some natural functions of the body, it’s well documented that too much time in the sun can be hazardous to one’s health. That’s why summer frolickers need to exercise considerable caution each time they step outside. Each year more than three and a half million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the United States. So whether you’re planning a trip to the beach, hitting the golf course, or enjoying a backyard cookout, remember to protect yourself from the sun. Banish The Burn Taking sunburn for granted can be a big mistake. Many people wouldn’t risk burns from a hot stove or open fire, but they won’t think twice about being unprotected under the very hot rays of the sun. Depending on the intensity of the sun and the amount of time spent outside, sunburn can be a first- or second-degree burn. In first-degree burns, damage affects the topmost layer of skin. However, sunburn can even affect deeper layers and cause blistering in addition to redness and pain.

Sunburn also can cause some irreparable damage that goes unseen. Medical experts stress that ultraviolet light from the sun can alter DNA, prematurely aging skin or even contributing to skin cancers. It can take years before symptoms become noticeable. Therefore, exercise caution when spending time in the sun — at every age. Always Protect Yourself Sunburn is one of the most easily prevented summertime ailments. It’s also important to note that sunburns are not just limited to the hot weather or when it is sunny outside. Ultraviolet damage can occur at any time of the year, and also from artificial UV sources, such as tanning beds. Preventing sunburn — preventing serious risk to your health — is simple. Seek the shade. The sun’s rays are usually strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you are outside, find shade from a structure, a leafy tree, or a sun umbrella for protection. Also, try to arrange your schedule so that you can take advantage of the early morning and late afternoon for your outdoor activities. Otherwise, limit exposure to the sun and take frequent breaks in the shade. Cover up. Wear protective clothing that covers the arms and legs. Some outdoor gear is designed to offer sun protection. Tightly woven fabrics tend to help the most. Your clothes can be an effective form of protection from the sun’s harmful rays. Some

We Have Successfully Decannulated 23 Covid Survivors.

outdoor clothing now carries an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating. The UPF rating lets you know how well the fabric shields your skin from ultraviolet (UV) rays. All fabrics block UV rays to some degree, but the most effective have a UPF rating from 15 (good) to more than 50 (excellent). For example, a white cotton t-shirt has a UPF of five. Blue jeans have a UPF of 1,700. In other words, densely woven and bright or dark colored fabrics offer the best defense from the sun’s rays. Light-weight, loose-fitting long sleeves and pants also help. Don’t forget a hat and sunglasses to protect your head and eyes and put sunscreen on exposed skin. Apply — and reapply — sunscreen. Apply sunscreen generously and reapply it regularly. The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) measures how long unprotected skin can be theoretically exposed to the sun’s harmful UV rays before causing damage. UVA rays can prematurely age your skin, causing wrinkles and age spots. UVB rays can burn your skin. Too much exposure to

either can cause skin cancer. Look for products that offer an SPF of 15 or greater. The American Academy of Dermatology actually recommends an SPF of 30 or greater. Make sure the product is broad-spectrum, meaning it protects against UVA and UVB rays. Apply sunscreen thoroughly, paying attention to the tops of feet, hands and other places that tend to go untreated. Reapply every two hours or more frequently, if necessary. Keep in mind that sunscreen is often not applied thoroughly or evenly, and it might wash off while you swim or sweat. That means sunscreen might be less effective than the SPF number might lead you to believe. Dermatologists suggest that along with the sunscreen’s SPF, you should choose a “broad spectrum” sunscreen that offers protection from UVA and UVB rays. It is important to reapply sunscreen frequently. Above photo: Have your time in the sun while sparing your skin from damage and harm to your health.

HEALTH HEALTHMEMOS MEMO

Prevent injuries as you return to exercise, sports this summer

s gyms reopen and summer sports and outdoor activities ramp up following the easing of coronavirus restrictions, Mount Sinai South Nassau experts advise caution before jump-starting a new workout regimen. “It’s important to warm up first followed by stretching before starting exercise, especially if you have been on the couch for months due to the pandemic,” said Stelios Koutsoumbelis, MD, Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at Mount Sinai South Nassau. “We are concerned that people may rush back out without proper preparation, which could lead to a rash of stress fractures, muscle strains, overuse tendon injuries, and soft tissue tears in the knees, shoulders, elbows, hips, and ankles.” To prevent such injuries, Dr. Koutsoumbelis recommends taking these simple steps before exercising: √ Follow a schedule that sticks to the “10 percent rule” of increasing the intensity, volume, distance, and duration of workouts. Make time for rest and recovery after strenuous exercise. √ Warm-up first followed by stretching before practice or training. √ Diversify training by combining or alternating activities like walking, jogging, biking, or weightlifting. Improving your core strength, lower extremity balance, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance can enhance your fitness. √ Listen to your body; if you feel pain, soreness, or tightness, stop! Early intervention with targeted conditioning and stretching exercises, or even physical therapy, is key to avoiding further injury. √ Eat healthy. Be sure to include fruits and vegetables and adequate portions of protein in your daily diet. If you or your child suffers an injury, don’t live by the rule “no pain, no gain.”

Dr. Koutsoumbelis, left, and orthopedic surgeons at Mount Sinai South Nassau use minimally invasive and arthroscopic surgical techniques that reduce post-operative pain and result in less scarring. Mount Sinai South Nassau’s sports medicine professionals are ready to help by applying their experience and expertise to develop a tailored plan that will lead to a faster recovery and prevent reinjury. If surgery is needed, the hospital’s orthopedic surgeons use minimally invasive arthroscopic and image-guided surgery to repair common and complex orthopedic sports injuries. “The benefits of minimally invasive and arthroscopic surgery include reduced post-operative pain, less scarring, a quicker recovery, and a faster return to normal activities,” said Dr. Koutsoumbelis. “Many of these surgeries can be performed on an outpatient basis.”

Minimally invasive procedures such as the Birmingham Hip resurfacing may eliminate the need for traditional hip replacement surgery, just as the Uni-Knee partial knee replacement and ImageGuided knee replacement procedures may help you avoid open surgery. Knee and shoulder injuries repaired at Mount Sinai South Nassau include torn cartilage and anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, and medial collateral ligaments in the knee as well as instability, impingement, rotator cuff, or labrum tears and recurrent dislocations in the shoulder. Mount Sinai South Nassau’s orthopedic spine surgeons also use minimally invasive surgical approaches that provide short- and longterm relief from painful back problems, such as herniated discs and stenosis. To ensure you maximize the benefits of the treatment plans prescribed to you, Mount Sinai South Nassau Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation’s multi-disciplinary team of an experienced physiatrist and staff of physical and occupational therapists provides top-notch physical therapy and rehabilitation programs. Get a leg up on recovery and return to action sooner by calling Mount Sinai South Nassau Orthopedics at (866) 32-ORTHO or (866) 326-7846.

omen still tend to encounter more obstacles than men in pursuit of financial security. Women are still more likely to leave the workforce, at least temporarily, to raise children, resulting in lower contributions to employer-sponsored retirement plans; also to become fulltime caregivers of aging parents or other relatives. Those caregiving duties can exact a big financial toll: Wages, pensions (including 401(k) and similar plans) and Social Security benefits lost to caregiving can amount to more than $300,000 over a lifetime, according to the National Academy of Sciences.

Improve your financial outlook with these steps Take full advantage of retirement plans. If your employer offers a 401k or similar plan, put in as much as you can afford each year and increase your contributions when your salary goes up. Choose the mix of investments that can provide the most growth potential, given your individual risk tolerance. Also even if you contribute to a 401k, you may be eligible to find an IRA, which gives you more investment choices. Evaluate Social Security options. You can typically start taking Social Security benefits at 62. But

monthly checks will be much larger if you wait until “full” retirement age, likely between 66 and 67. Also consider whether you’d be better off by taking spousal benefits, if your spouse earned more money than you. You’re generally eligible for spousal benefits even if divorced as long as you were married at least 10 years and haven’t remarried. Look for unexpected income opportunities. Even after you’ve formally retired, find ways to receive some earned income. Perhaps you can work part-time or do some consulting. If you’re a caregiver, you might be able to receive some compensation for your work. Many local governments pay non-spouse caregivers who act as personal attendants, although the rules vary greatly by state and county.

Creative ways to incorporate family fitness into your lifestyle We all know how important an active lifestyle is for long-term health and well-being. And now that the warm weather has arrived, there’s no reason not get outdoors and get moving. While eating a diet that is low in fat and high in whole-grain fiber, vegetables and lean proteins is important to our overall health, exercise remains one of the key factors in maintaining a healthy weight. However, many adults and children simply do not get enough exercise during the day. An active lifestyle is often hampered by the prevalence of digital devices or sedentary jobs that encourage more screen time than fitness time. But there are ways for the entire family to get fit. Exercising together is not just a great way for families to get healthy, but also a great opportunity to spend time together. The following are a handful of ways families can work together to incorporate more exercise into their daily lives. Tackle chores. Yes, tasks around the house can count as exercise. Working together not only gets you moving but also cuts down on the time it takes to tackle tasks around the house. Mowing the lawn, vacuuming the rugs, sweeping the floor -- all of these activities can get the heart pumping. Make it fun by setting chores to music or competing against one another to see who gets their task done first or the best. Compete in the pool. Swimming is a low-impact activity that works many muscles in the body. Taking a dip in the pool can be both relaxing and beneficial to your health. Compete with family members to make the most of the time spent in the water. Host relay swimming races, see how long each member of the family can tread water or create any other competitions that keep everyone in the pool moving. Create an outdoor obstacle course. Set up a series of obstacles in your yard and host your own triathlon. You can jump through tires, climb through tubes and scale trees. Make it fun by having adults try to ride tricycles or pair up an adult with a child for sack races. The opportunities for fun are only hampered by your imagination. Go for family bicycle rides. Traverse your neighborhood or

blaze new trails by riding bikes together. Young children can be strapped into trailers that are pulled behind the bike or ride in seats attached to the bike itself. This gives everyone a chance to enjoy the great outdoors and hone their cycling skills. Go hiking. Hiking is another fun family activity that also happens to make for great exercise. Choose a trail that may not be level and push everyone’s endurance to the test. Stroll the beach. We’re lucky enough to live close to the

beach, so take advantage of our many beaches and incorporate them into your fitness routine. Walking or running on sand offers more resistance than walking on pavement. Take a stroll at the seaside. Break up the walk by collecting shells or stopping by the water to observe marine wildlife. Above photo: Make exercise a family affair. Teach your children to embrace good fitness and nutrition habits while they are young.

A. Home ownership is a challenge in many ways. For some, a home is a place to shelter, sleep, onte eeper cook and entertain. For others it’s a little more like a place to enjoy time by a fireplace and a haven to relax or turn into a laboratory of gadgets and gizmos. If you’re concerned about value versus overpricing, then, other than a basic home, more upgrades are relative to comparable homes in the area. Making your home more, I often tell homebuyers, is based on your level of expected benefit and how long you hope to live there to enjoy the rewards of your hard work. State-of-the-art is ever-changing. Decide why you need the upgrades and how long they will last. If the upgrades have a return on investment, like superior insulation that reduces energy bills, solar electric or water heating, reflective or wind-resistant roofing and siding or radiant heat, then reducing bills makes the value greater. Adding a superior sound system, built-in computer and voice-controlled appliances, or a swimming pool and outdoor kitchen, are luxury items that may either become outdated or increase maintenance and insurance costs, which can actually lower the attractiveness to some future buyers who are looking at affordability. The traditional home, built 100 years ago up to the present, has basically the same structural configuration, either using amateur or unsound guessing to be over- or under-built or, since around the 1950s, a more enforced, regulated engineered construction. It’s pretty costly to just throw a home away, so you have to be sure to compare the existing with a replacement. Good design starts with sight orientation, the sun, winds, sounds and adherence to municipal zoning requirements. Decide if the size and shape of the existing home are a benefit or not. Insulated windows that allow uniform daytime lighting save energy. Properly sized overhangs screen harsh summer sun rays and allow windows to be open during a rain for fresh air. Look at what you have, what needs are not being met and how costly the renovation will be before starting over. If the home has a lot of dry-rotted structure or a crumbing or sinking foundation, replacement makes sense. If not, consider what’s useful to keep, and start from there with a trained, licensed professional. Good luck!

Q. I just bought a house that needs a lot of attention. It has little if any insulation, a sagging first floor, cloth-covered wiring with only a few three-pronged outlets that I doubt are grounded, and water stains in the ceilings. I’m thinking it may be cheaper to tear down, so I want to look into making the new house totally state-of-the-art, meaning energy-efficient and storm-resistant, with computerized, wireless controls Ask The for a new boiler, sound sysArchitect tem, lighting and security. I just wonder if, after investing in all this, is it worth it? Am I over-improving and out-pricing the house so I’ll never get my money back?

opINIoNS

s someone who has been active his entire life, I consider “retirement” a dirty word. But sooner or later, all of us retire, or are retired by fate. I take note of the impending retirement of Dr. Stuart Rabinowitz, the president of Hofstra University. Having been a trustee of the university for almost 30 years, I have come to understand how significant Hofstra has become in this region and this state, and the role Rabinowitz has played. Hofstra is Long Island’s largest JERRY private college. It educates 12,000 KREMER students and has nearly 3,700 employees. It occupies 244 acres in the heart of Nassau County, adjacent to the Nassau Coliseum. Its campus is a model of greenery and a comforting atmosphere. Rabinowitz has been president for over 20 years, which makes him the longest-serving privatecollege president in the state. When I became a board member in 1991, Hofstra was a modestly sized institution with all of the typical college courses that were being offered at the time. Its

president, Dr. James Shuart, was a hardworking, affable guy, a good administrator and a competent leader. I like to describe the time after Shuart’s retirement as the Rabinowitz era. In the early 2000s, the private-college scene changed drastically. The economy suffered numerous ups and downs, and college presidents couldn’t afford to sit idly by. Hofstra was known as a commuter school, and hadn’t attracted much attention beyond Long Island. At the outset, Rabinowitz recognized that something more dramatic had to be done to make Hofstra a destination for students outside the bi-county area. Any college that wants to attract new students must be ranked by the various college publications. Course offerings and campus environment are a very big deal to any prospective student, and it was important for Hofstra to expand its offerings and make the campus atmosphere attractive and safe. Rabinowitz embraced the challenge with vigor. Today, Hofstra is one of only three schools in the downstate area that offer degrees in engineering, medicine and law. If you tour the campus today, you’ll find six new schools: the Donald and Bar-

bara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell; the Hofstra Northwell School of Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies; the Fred DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science; the Peter Kalikow School of Government, Public Policy and International Affairs; the Lawrence Herbert School of Communications and the newest of the campus buildings, the state-of-the-art Frank G. Zarb School of Business. Thanks to Rabinowitz’s dedication, the university is now known by rival schools around the country. One of his crowning achievements was Hofstra’s being the only college in the country to host three presidential debates. Few people know what a headache these debates are for any college that is chosen to stage one. Media from around the world descend on the campus, and the human and organizational demands of hosting such an event discourage most institutions from applying. Rabinowitz has not been content just to be the leader of a growing and successful institution. On numerous occasions he has been called on by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to head up state commissions, and he currently co-chairs the Long Island Regional Development Council, which has helped

hanks to Dr. Stuart Rabinowitz, the university is now known around the country.

deliver $727 million for over 900 projects. Some people would consider serving on these bodies a full time job, but Rabinowitz has managed those responsibilities without being distracted from the rigorous job of running a university. If you ask him what his greatest challenge has been in his years at Hofstra, he would probably say running a college in the middle of an ongoing pandemic. Providing an education for thousands of students — inside and outside the classroom — while keeping them safe is a herculean task for any college president, but Rabinowitz successfully steered the college through this monumental year-plus-long headache, often acting as if it were just another day on the job. Long Island has been blessed with many fine college presidents over the years. Rabinowitz would be the first to ask why he should be singled out for recognition, because that’s the Stu Rabinowitz many have come to know and respect. He will step down in August, leaving a lasting imprint not only on Hofstra, but on the entire Long Island community. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

Gotta get up, get out and do something bold

s poet Mary Oliver asks, “What will you do with your one wild and precious life?” In our (almost) post-pandemic lives, the question presses us for an answer. What will we do now that we faced the fact that our days are finite and fleeting? The remedy for a year of loss is a new season of action, and even daring. “Daring” is a relative concept. My ancestors never went west of the Hudson River. My dream is to go west, traveling across the country in the steps of the RANDI pioneers of the KREISS 1800s who headed for free land, independence and a new life in the wide-open spaces. I know I’m romanticizing the harrowing journey that could take up to a year and suck the life out of the voyagers. They raced west at 2 miles per hour, covering 20 miles a day — if they didn’t encounter an impassable river or hostiles hoping to raid their party. Some 250 years ago, a covered wagon was the cheapest way to move a household west, and there was strength in the num-

bers of wagons trundling across the prairies. For our Boomer trip, we plan to fly to Denver (skipping the flat parts) and then drive to California, about 16 hours. A wagon train is out of the question, so we booked an airplane and a rental car and will dine on fast food instead of jerky. In the old days, many of the westward travelers brought their cows and pigs along to keep them fed along the way. We will bring Lillybee the dog, who requires a reverse process in which we must feed her to keep her going. We have been to Komodo Island in Indonesia, the Arctic Circle in Norway and Table Mountain in South Africa, but this year, driving even partly across our own country feels thrilling. In some ways we are old school, or possibly just old. We bought an oversized road atlas that bumps the font up to something that is readable for us. My husband spends hours poring over the primary, secondary and scenic byways that could get us from Point A to Point B. I know we can use MapQuest and several other digital trip planners and maps, but this is way more fun. And anyway, on my computer the

AAA maps keep zooming in and out of control. One minute I’m looking at the road from Denver to Laramie and the next minute I’m in a hill town outside Bangkok. Along the way, we may not face Sitting Bull, who rightfully suspected that the emigrating hordes would kill his people and trash his world, but I expect we will be edified by the culture and politics of the places between the coasts. Read “edified” any way you like. Our first real challenge was booking plane tickets. Apparently, everyone is on the road. No exaggeration, the wait time to talk to a Delta agent was 3½ hours. Next, we needed a rental car. Very quickly we discovered that a reasonable car would cost way more than our flights. The pioneers didn’t even ride in their wagons because the terrain was a nightmare of ditches and holes and broken wheels. And while the western voyagers pushed ahead fearlessly, we piled on the insurance. Wagon train journeys cost as much as $1,000 for a family of four. Today, some rental car companies are charging that per day for large SUVs.

f you’re flying and driving these days, the rental car can cost as much as the airfare.

Then we booked a rental house up in a mountain town where wildfires are a constant threat over the summer and autumn. It may seem knuckle-headed to choose a fire zone for vacation, but it seems to run in the family. Our kids live there. At least we won’t face the pioneers’ hardships of limited diet and the threats of cholera, flu, dysentery, measles, mumps, tuberculosis and typhoid fever. Not that bouncing from McDonald’s to Burger King is a healthy regimen. We trust that our recent Covid-19 vaccines will still be effective in the coming months as we drive through areas where some folks don’t believe in either the disease or the inoculation. Our drive will take us from Denver through Wyoming and Nevada, into California. Part of me thinks we need not just a plan but also a plan B and a plan C. What if we get to Denver and we can’t get a rental car? What if we get to California but don’t feel like making the drive back to Denver for our flight home? What if we need to evacuate our rental house in the middle of the night? But the better part of me says westward ho. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

The many advantages of Covid-19 inoculation

ast year, the guidance we received from the government was straightforward: wear a mask, keep your distance from others and stay at home if you’re able. Now, with millions of people being vaccinated, there’s a two-tiered system of guidance — one for those who are fully vaccinated and one for those who are not, which can be a bit confusing. So, here it is in a nutshell. If you aren’t yet vaccinated, none of the government’s previous guidance has changed. You should still wear a mask at all times when in public and keep your distance, though the government is no longer saying stay at home at all times. Meanwhile, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people who have been fully vaccinated for at least two weeks can: ■ Visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing. ■ Visit with unvaccinated people (includ-

ing children) from a single household who are at low risk for severe Covid-19 disease indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing. ■ Take part in outdoor activities and recreation without a mask, except in certain crowded settings and venues. ■ Resume domestic travel and refrain from testing before or after travel or selfquarantine afterward. ■ Refrain from testing before leaving the U.S. for international travel (unless required by the destination country) and refrain from self-quarantine after returning to the U.S. ■ Refrain from testing following a known exposure, if asymptomatic, with some exceptions for specific settings. ■ Refrain from quarantine following a known exposure if asymptomatic. ■ Refrain from routine screening testing if asymptomatic and feasible.

continue to: ■ Take precautions in indoor public settings, like wearing well-fitting masks. ■ Wear masks when visiting indoors with unvaccinated people who are at increased risk for severe Covid-19 or who have an unvaccinated household member who is at increased risk. ■ Wear masks when visiting indoors with unvaccinated people from multiple households. ■ Avoid large indoor gatherings. ■ Get tested if experiencing Covid-19 symptoms. ■ Follow guidance issued by individual employers. ■ Follow CDC and health department travel requirements and recommendations.

For now, fully vaccinated people should

Our strong advice: Get vaccinated. Clearly, the positives outweigh any small inconvenience of being inoculated.

(April 22-28), noted encouraging progress in addressing three major environmental problems on Long Island. It rightly hailed remedial actions to clean up the Northrop Grumman toxic plume in Bethpage, an outfall pipe that spews fish-killing effluent into Reynolds Channel off Long Beach and the huge amounts of nitrogen fertilizer spread on golf courses and home lawns. The editorial did not, however, call for targeting a far greater source of pollution that threatens public health across Long Island, New York state, the U.S. and the planet. The environmental damage highlighted by the Herald is vastly exceeded by the toll taken by everincreasing volumes of automobile traffic, and this destruction takes more forms than just the climate instability caused by burning fossil

fuels. Cars pose immediate, daily threats to human life. Reckless driving resulted in 284 deaths in Nassau County in 2019 alone. Vehicle operators and passengers accounted for most of those fatalities, but crashes also killed several pedestrians and cyclists, including young children. Has this carnage become so commonplace that we have come to pay it no mind or view it as an inevitable byproduct of convenient transportation? Cars not only steal lives; they also squander the precious time we are given on this earth. The average Long Islander spends 81 hours a year — the equivalent of more than three full days — sitting in traffic, according to an April 8 report in Newsday. Then there is the ugliness of much of Long

letters Vote Joyce Berry for trustee To the Editor: The sign on my lawn reads, “Vote Joyce Berry for Malverne School Board.” That sign is also on many other lawns in the Malverne School District, and for such good reason. Berry has been a presence in the district since her oldest son started kindergarten. She held numerous PTA positions from member to president to Central Council President. She’s been a voice and supporter of this district even since her youngest son graduated in 2018. She’s not running to represent just herself and her children. As I said, she has no more children in the district. Currently, there is no representation from Lynbrook on the school board, and that needs to be corrected. She continues to have a passion for the betterment of the district with no personal agenda. Her name is known all over the district even now. She attends every meeting, and is aware of what’s going on. So, vote Joyce Berry for Malverne School Board. It’s what’s on my lawn and what I plan to do. SUzANNE ST. JOHN Malverne

opinions

ews sources are filled with reports of claims about “woke” universities and corporations (awake to racial injustice), complaints about critical race theory (that race is an invented category used to oppress people of color), and anti-racism training sessions (often designed to help white people experience being a member of a minority group). In addition, organizations and institutions are making plans to ensure DEI: diversity of membership, equity for all people roBert a. and inclusive practices to ensure that sCott Black and Brown people are not excluded. The partisan divide already evident in our society is being deepened by those who complain that this focus on race is motivated by “hatred” of America. For others, “woke” initiatives are urgent calls for a national reckoning of public policies and private prejudices that explain the vast differences in wealth and opportunity between whites and Blacks. Our history is replete with discrimination against Native American and Asian citizens as well. Unlike our own, the German government has supported reparations and museums to acknowledge public and private complicity in anti-Semitism, the Holocaust

and other war crimes. In South Africa, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission did something similar. Here in the U.S., the National Museum for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Ala., and other memorials were inspired by the Holocaust Museum in Berlin and the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, but are supported privately. The National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington received $270 million from the federal government — the cost of one corporate Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The balance of the funding was raised privately. In America we have no federal acknowledgement of racism and slavery, and standard school curricula ignore this history while they celebrate such “achievements” as western expansion. Meanwhile, police officers use federally provided military equipment and weapons against Black motorists and pedestrians. In response, large crowds protest and called for change. Some have called for “defunding” the police, because armed forces on the streets belie a commitment to community protection. There is no denying the force of institutional racism in our country. The question is how to acknowledge and fix it. We need the courage to listen to the pleas and engage the truths. We need to foster an honest respect for history and differences. We need to take affirmative action to com-

Letters Island’s commercial landscape, the result of our car-dependent way of life. One road in Nassau looks a lot like most other roads across the county: a series of shopping centers, strip malls and parking lots. Long Island once abounded in natural beauty; now it’s buried beneath endless pavement and honky-tonk signage meant to attract car travelers. It’s easy to say that nothing can be done and it’s too late to repair the wreckage. Maybe that’s so. But do we not owe our children and grandchildren at least an attempt to achieve alternatives to wasteful and deadly over-reliance on private automobiles? Suburban jurisdictions and individuals do have the power to fashion a more livable, sustainable future. We can promote and expand Long Island’s bus and train networks, develop hundreds of miles of protected bike paths and reconfigure residential areas to allow easy pedestrian access to shops and businesses. It was then New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s visionary transportation commissioner, Janette Sadik-Khan, who memorably encapsulated all this by observing, “If you change the street, you change the world.” KEvIN J.

pensate for past injustices and promote fair opportunities, based not on skin color but on the consequences of state, federal and private sanctions. President Lyndon Johnson introduced his idea of affirmative action 56 years ago by arguing that “Freedom is not enough. You do not wipe away the scars of centuries by saying: Now you are free to go where you want, and do as you desire, and choose the leaders you please. You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, ‘You are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.” It is not enough, Johnson said, just to open the gates of opportunity. Those who have suffered discrimination must have the resources necessary to walk through the gates and take advantage of the opportunity. These resources include housing, nutrition, adequate schooling, safe neighborhoods and protection, not persecution, by the police. Arguments about white privilege and advocacy of anti-racist training can be instructive, but they are not sufficient. They do not make up for government policies that denied access to housing, education and business development, as occurred with the post-World War II G.I. Bill. They do not compensate for the pri-

vate prejudices that continue to limit opportunities in education and employment. They do not bring reparations to compensate for 400 years of discrimination. Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson, a Democrat, is the lead sponsor of H.R. 40, which would establish a commission to study reparations for slavery. She has said that bringing the bill to a vote in the House would be “cleansing” for the country, and asked her Republican colleagues not to “cancel” debate on the issue. The 13-member commission, Jackson explained, would “study the effects of slavery and racial discrimination, hold hearings … recommend appropriate remedies … and consider what form a national apology could take for the harm caused by slavery.” Those in favor of reparations argue that “today’s descendants of enslaved people and those who look like them continue to suffer from the lingering legacy of slavery and persistent racial inequities.” So, instead of accusations of white privilege and woke universities, let’s have a serious discussion of the past, how to acknowledge it and what to do about it. We need more history and less histrionics. Germans and South Africans were not afraid to confront their past. Surely we can do the same with honest listening and civil discourse. The truth shall, indeed, set us free. Robert Scott is president emeritus of Adelphi University and the author of “How University Boards Work,” Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018.

3,070 days later, still no action on Sandy Hook To the Editor: Re “The heartache of gun violence continues” (April 29-May 5): The editorial stated, “Since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in 2012, when we pledged to never allow another mass shooting like this to happen again after 26 were killed,” but the “we” applied only to the vast majority of the American public, and obviously not to all 535 members of Congress — as our elected leaders have now failed to pass common-sense gun-control legislation for an astounding 3,070 days since the tragedy. Unfortunately, the shooting death of a single beloved Stop & Shop store manager will surely not produce any gun-control laws if the 20 killings of 6- and 7-year-old first-graders in the Sandy Hook slaughter did not. But I wish it somehow could help shame Congress into attempting a do-over for their failure even to ban assault rifles after the Newtown, Conn., massacre. Dec. 14, 2020, was the eighth anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting. To me,
