Diverse groups build civic unity amid unsettling times By JEffREy BEssEN jbessen@liherald.com
After three months of weekly meetings this summer to build stronger ties among several diverse institutions and organizations, the newly created CommUnity Coalition of the Five Towns, Valley Stream and the Rockaways, which includes the Malverne Jewish Center, held its coming-out party on Sept. 30, a 40-vehicle motorcade from the Five Towns Community Center to the Marion & Aaron
Gural JCC’s Harrison-Kerr Family Campus, both in Lawrence. The CommUnity Coalition is the newest group to attack the social problems that at times leave ethnic and religious groups working in opposition, rather than collaboration, to try to solve them. In addition to the Malverne Jewish Center, it includes the Five Towns Community Center and its Gammy’s Pantry; the Irving Place Minyan, in Woodmere; the Islamic Center of the Five Towns, in Hewlett;
the Gural JCC; the Nassau County Office of Asian American Affairs; St. John’s Baptist Church, in Inwood; Valley Stream Presbyterian Church; Young Israel of Hewlett; and the Simon Wiesenthal Center, in Los Angeles.

In the Fourth Congressional District, incumbent Kathleen Rice, a Democrat from Garden City, faces Douglas Tuman, a Republican from West Hempstead. The Fourth Congressional District includes Elmont, Baldwin, Bellmore, East Rockaway, East Meadow, the Five Towns, Lynbrook, Floral Park, Franklin Square, Garden City, Hempstead, Atlantic Beach, Long Beach, Malverne, Freeport, Merrick, Mineola, Carle Place, New Hyde Park, Oceanside, Rockville Centre, Roosevelt, Uniondale, Wantagh, West Hempstead, Westbury and parts of Valley Stream. Before Election Day on Nov. 3, the Herald asked the candidates questions about important issues facing the district.

having a negative impact on local businesses, what could you do as a member of Congress to help ensure that businesses get what they need to survive?
Rice: The coronavirus pandemic has creat-
ed an unprecedented public health and economic crisis that we need to confront simultaneously. Nassau County has been one of the hardest-hit areas in the country and the current uptick in cases as we enter the cold weather seasons is troubling. We need to focus on creating new jobs to replace those that were lost, we need to help our small and mid-sized businesses get back on their feet, and we need to provide continued financial relief to the families who have been most affected by this pandemic. I held weekly conference calls with small businesses in my district with the Small Business Administration and local experts to help navigate the Paycheck Protection Program and other programs available. We also need to think urgently about how we can help our vast healthcare, education and transportation systems adapt to this new normal and ensure that they are prepared for future surges. Long Island is in the process of re-opening, and that’s a good thing. But we need to make sure that our local municipalities, who provide critical services to our constituents, have the tools they need to operate safely and successfully in the weeks and months to come. All of this will require robust federal investment and I’m committed to helping our district secure the resources it needs to recover from this crisis and build back stronger. I am committed to getting a bipartisan relief bill through Congress that can be signed by President Trump. Our front-line workers and small businesses deserve so much better than the typical Washington gridlock.
Tuman: First and foremost, I would work across the aisle to immediately deliver financial relief to small businesses, families and citizens in the form of standalone stimulus payments. That would mean one bill that directly delivers support funding to small businesses and $1,200 stimulus
Kathleen Rice Incumbent
Professional experience: Prosecutor, district attorney, member of Congress education: Touro Law Center (1991), The Catholic University of America (1987) Political experience: Former district attorney of Nassau County checks to each eligible citizen, no strings or unrelated political objectives attached. Right now in Washington, self-interested politicians and partisan politics have produced gridlock because both parties are trying to stuff unrelated policy measures into their bills. It is not time to play politics. We need relief now. My dual approach of providing funding to businesses and citizens will allow businesses to cover expenses to stay afloat, while improving our economy, which will in turn increase patronage at these small businesses. As businesses reopen, our government should provide personal protective equipment to promote safety and expedite economic recovery. As Congressman, I will introduce a bill that allows small businesses to deduct expenses incurred from the purchase of PPE supplies. We must also create a business-friendly environment to promote small business recovery, start-up, and consumerism in the coming years. To this end, I have developed a six-part tax reform plan that permanently extends pro-small business tax deductions, allows tax deferrals for start-up small businesses, eliminates the SALT cap, eliminates the marriage penalty, increases the child tax credit and increases allowable expense deductions for teachers. These tax reform measures will promote small business growth and consumerism, while making Long Island more affordable.
Herald: What do you think can be done to help assist in resolving the issues we have with race in this country on a local level?
Douglas Tuman Challenger
Professional experience: Commissioner of engineering for the Town of Hempstead (professional engineer and patent attorney) education: Stevens Institute of Technology and Hofstra University Maurice Deane School of Law Political experience: None Rice: When it comes to pursuing social
and racial justice, we need to first look at criminal justice and policing reform. There is no question that we need to reform police practices in this country to ensure that everyone feels protected and served. I was proud to support the George Floyd Justice in Police Act, which would enact several immediate and life-saving measures to reform police practices in this country. But more broadly, if we want to create social and racial equity, then we need to address systemic inequities that still exist in education, housing, health care and employment. Many of these inequities have been laid bare during the pandemic. Black and Brown communities were hit hardest by the health and economic effects of this crisis, as well as the digital divide that has made remote learning difficult for many communities of color. I’m committed to fighting for these issues in Congress.
Tuman: I believe priority number one is
putting politics aside and electing leaders that actually listen to and act on behalf of our communities of color. In office for six years, our Congresswoman has continuously neglected communities like Hempstead, Roosevelt and Uniondale, and missed two times more votes than the average Congressperson in D.C. She has literally left our communities of color voiceless and voteless. From Hempstead to Freeport, I have visited every town in our district to hear about the issues that our communities of color care about: making Long
Island more affordable, ensuring safety and protection in our communities, recovering from Covid and improving our schools and local infrastructure. To our communities of color: I have heard you, and I will work for you. My goal is to ensure that the solutions we deliver and opportunities we create are equally available to all residents in our district. To provide safety and protection for all, we must work to support and improve relationships between our police and communities of color through joint community-law enforcement events and training. To improve schools and local infrastructure, we must redirect our federal funding to our own local schools, roads and public transportation.
Herald: Much like businesses, schools need help amid the pandemic. How can the federal government help?
Rice: The health and safety of our chil-
dren must be our number one priority. This is not an issue where we can cut corners, shortchange funding or let politics dictate our course of action. Municipalities and school districts are financially strapped, and the federal government must provide further assistance so schools can continue to open and operate safely. Unfortunately, providing aid to state and local governments, which would include funding for local school districts, has been a major point of contention in Covid relief negotiations thus far. We can look carefully at the final amount, but there is no question that further relief is needed. I hear it from superintendents and other local officials in Nassau County every single day. We must be willing to compromise on the next bill, but I won’t ever compromise on the safety of our children. I will keep fighting in Congress until our local communities and schools have the resources they need.
Tuman: The federal government’s role in
education should be one of support, not control. Our federal government should provide grants to schools that lack the funding to acquire advanced learning technology, like iPads and laptops. At the same time, I unequivocally believe that parents, teachers and local administrators should make all decisions regarding school reopenings, school curriculums, afterschool programs, sports and related matters. Our parents, teachers and local communities know what is best for our children, not partisan politicians down in Washington, D.C. The federal government also has another indirect, yet hugely important, role in keeping our schools funded and successful. Our schools are predominantly funded by state and local taxes, namely property taxes, paid by residents and businesses in our school districts. It is vital that our federal government acts immediately in delivering relief to residents and businesses to keep them open. As Congressman, I would introduce a standalone bill to immediately deliver that relief.

News brief Survey shows lack of Holocaust knowledge In the wake of the release of a nationwide survey last week showing a troubling lack of basic Holocaust knowledge among adults under 40, Senator Todd Kaminsky urged the passage of his bill (S6648), which would require instruction regarding symbols of hate, including the swastika and the noose, for New York students in grades 6 through 12. The survey, conducted by the Claims Conference, was touted as the first 50-state survey of Holocaust knowledge among millennials and Generation Z. “Statistics like this are shocking and emphasize a clear gap in education, when we could be using that exact tool to tackle the larger problem of rising hate crimes in New York,” said Kaminsky. “This is exactly why New York needs to pass my bill requiring our children be taught the meaning of the swastika and other symbols of hate. By educating students on these symbols, we encourage a dialogue on why hate crimes are on the rise and prevent a repeat of the tragic history of the Holocaust.” Survey results showed that many respondents were unclear about the basic
facts of the Holocaust. Sixty-three percent of those surveyed did not know that 6 million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, and over half of those thought the death toll was fewer than 2 million. Over 40,000 concentration camps and ghettos were established during World War II, but nearly half of U.S. respondents could not name a single one. Most staggering, the survey revealed that 1 in 10 respondents reported having never heard the word “Holocaust” before. As the number of hate crimes have skyrocketed across New York State and throughout our nation, it is crucial that students are educated on the meaning and significance of how these hateful symbols are used to generate fear in our communities across the state. Kaminsky’s bill will ensure that students will receive the proper education on these symbols of hate. By teaching our future generations of students why these symbols of hate made a great impact to individuals in Germany will reduce the amount of hate crimes committed throughout the state of New York and across our nation.

Wicks Farm aids Norwood Hook Ladder and Hose Co. The first fire alarm gong in Malverne was located on the outside of Isaac Cornwell’s barn, at Cornwell and Franklin Avenues. A second alarm bell was on a pole outside of the John Wicks farmhouse at Hempstead Avenue and Wicks Lane. The alarm would be sounded by either a person reporting the fire or a firefighter sounding the alarm. The original fire alarm bell that once was mounted on a pole at the John Wicks Farmhouse is now mounted on a pole in front of the Malverne Historical and Preservation Society House on Ocean Avenue. Fire Prevention Week took place on Oct. 4-10 and this year’s theme was “Serve
them fire safety in the kitchen.” About 44 percent of all house fires start in the kitchen, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Please remember to change to the batteries in both the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors when adjusting the time on the clocks. Wishing everyone a happy and safe Halloween and please remember to wear your mask. Respectively submitted, David Weinstein Village historian

They announced on Oct. 6 that, as part of the partnership, Northwell and the Islanders will create community programs focused on health, nutrition and physical activity. The partnership will also help Northwell expand its outreach efforts, Dowling said, and learn more about the community’s needs. “It will be continuous learning,” Dowling said, with Leiweke adding that officials from the different organizations will learn more about the community’s needs before the first puck drops at the arena in 14 months. A retail village included in the plans for the redevelopment project, however, may open a year later due to coronavirus delays, and the south platform of a new Elmont Long Island Rail Road station at the site will open around Nov. 1 of next year with the north platform — serving westbound trains — finished a year later. The station will include 5,500 parking spaces, with 150 reserved for commuter park-
ing. “We will be fine, and we will get through this,” Leiweke said at another panel discussion about the construction project on Oct. 8. “I’m not going to let a temporary virus affect what we’re doing here.” The project is being privately funded, Leiweke said, and is expected to provide a significant boost to the regional economy, at a time when economic activity has slowed because of the coronavirus pandemic. It is expected to generate roughly $25 billion in economic activity over the term of its lease, and developers have vowed to fill 30 percent of the arena’s permanent jobs with workers who live in the surrounding area. Additionally, 30 percent of contracting dollars for construction was earmarked for state-certified minority- and female-owned businesses, and 6 percent was earmarked for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. “If you don’t think New York is going to return, you are blind to what’s going on around us today,” Leiwekee said at the ceremony on Friday. “To all of those that doubt New York, come visit us at UBS.” For more information about the arena, visit www.UBSArena.com.
Northwell receives $1.4M grant to study gun violence Northwell Health has been awarded $1.4 million from the National Institutes of Health to study gun violence prevention and establish and implement a first-of-its-kind protocol to universally screen among those at risk of firearm injury. The grant is part of the health system’s “We Ask Everyone About Guns” research study, which aims to shift the paradigm to view gun violence as a public health issue and approach firearm injury risk similarly to other health risk factors that are part of routine care, like smoking, substance use and motor vehicle accidents. We Ask Everyone About Guns will
establish evidence-based screening and intervention strategies within three of its hospitals. Led by Drs. Chethan Sathya, director of Northwell’s Center for Gun Violence Prevention, and Sandeep Kapoor, the study will pilot at South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore, Cohen Children’s Medical Center, a pediatric trauma center on the Queens-Nassau County border that is the accepting facility for adolescent trauma for more than five counties, and Staten Island University Hospital — each of which are in regions with critical need for firearm injury and mortality prevention, and areas with at-risk
youth. Northwell plans to expand We Ask Everyone About Guns across the health system. “Gun violence is a public health issue, and this NIH-funded study is a step in the right direction to finally addressing it as one,” said Michael Dowling, Northwell president and CEO. “Unfortunately, we have been dealing with two pandemics — Covid-19 and gun violence. By screening for firearm safety in our facilities, we can better understand how and why this senseless bloodshed continues to increase at historic rates.”
Northwell received the NIH grant as gun violence continues to rise across the country and remains the leading cause of premature death in the U.S. — nearly 40,000 people dying each year, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In August, shootings doubled and murders increased 50 percent in New York City, according to the NYPD, compared to the same timeframe in 2019. Since May, there have been 791 shootings in New York City alone, which was a 140plus percent increase over the same period in 2019.

Panel guides first-time home buyers By Briana Bonfiglio bbonfiglio@liherald.com
When Max and Ashley Kramer decided to buy their first home together before Covid-19 hit, they quickly realized it would be a lot of work. “We went on a whim to look at a few houses before we were prepared at all,” Ashley said. “That was important for us because it made us realize, ‘Ok, we need a team. We can’t do this on our own.’” To begin the process in April, they first called a mortgage broker. Though they lost out on deals for two homes because of the fast-paced market, they landed in a house that they say they are happy with in North Bellmore. The Kramers shared their first-time home-buying experience on the latest in a series of Herald Inside LI webinars produced by RichnerLive, a division of Richner Communications, publisher of Herald Community Newspapers, discussing different aspects of life in the Covid-19 pandemic. On Oct. 8, the couple was joined by panelists Scott Wallace, certified buyer representative and real estate salesman at Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty; Matt Korman, licensed real estate broker at Douglas Elliman; and Veronica Ferrero, assistant vice president and community lending coordinator at Emigrant Mortgage Company Inc. Moderator Skye Ostreicher, of RichnerLive and Herald Community Newspapers, first asked the panelists the most important thing a first-time homebuyer should know. The experts’ resounding answer was to find a reliable team, composed of a mortgage broker, a buyer’s real estate agent and an attorney, who will help at every step of the way. “It’s all about communication between everyone,” Wallace said, “and unfortunately, in this market right now, I feel for the buyers out there. They’re trying so hard, and they are qualified; sometimes they just need a little more education about their qualifications.” Ferrero said that step one in the home-buying process is to do what the Kramers did — consult with a mortgage broker, assess finances and answer questions like, “How much am I comfortable spending?” and “How will I show proof of income, credit, savings and assets?” “The most important thing is to plan, to budget and to basically check your credit and speak to somebody that will be pre-approving you,” she explained, “because if you don’t have that pre-approval or you don’t start that process, it’s going to be difficult to know where to go from there.” In the time of Covid-19, securing a pre-approval or pre-commitment based on finances is crucial, the panelists agreed, because many sellers will not allow buyers into the houses without one. The next step for a buyer is to decide where they

want to live. Consult with a real estate agent who knows the areas well, walk through the neighborhoods and decide what they want and need in a home. “I’m seeing a trend from west to east as people are coming out of apartment living and are wanting more space,” Korman said. “People aren’t necessarily going to be going into the city office five days a week anymore.” While there is high demand for people moving out of apartments and into larger homes on Long Island, there is also low supply of homes on the market. This means the market moves quickly, and everyone needs to be on top of their game when making offers, the panelists said. Max suggested securing a pre-commitment rather than a pre-approval for the mortgage. “Our offer was a little shakier because it was lower, and we didn’t have a commitment to lend so that would have helped us on the terms side,” Max said of the Kramers’ first offer on a house. Once an offer is accepted, Korman explained that time is of the essence — a buyer needs to immediately call to schedule an inspection and close on the deal, especially in today’s hot market. “It’s very stressful for

all,” Wallace said. Max said to expect large closing costs, especially on Long Island. “The down payment you expect,” he said, “the closing costs you don’t, and they’re high — you’re talking $15,000 to $20,000, and that’s not going toward the principal of your house.” There are several grants available for first-time homebuyers, either to go toward down payments or renovations, Ferrero said. These include the state’s SONYMA program, homebuyer “dream” programs with certain banks and down payment assistance programs. Wallace encouraged people to visit the Long Island Housing Partnership website, lihp.org, to learn more. “It’s important to educate people and not scare people,” Ferrero said. “Markets change. Never give up because there are programs out there to help you and homes for you. It may not be the right time for you but that time will come.” Emigrant Mortgage Company, Scott Wallace Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty and Douglas Elliman sponsored the event.

Kaminsky faces Johnson in the 9th Senate District The Herald asked State Sen. Todd Kaminsky and challenger Victoria Johnson questions focusing on issues of importance to local residents. Their answers have been edited for style and clarity.
Kaminsky: We did make changes in the bail refor m law. We added 25 new offenses to the law. But we have to remember public safety is the most important priority. But overall, we want law enforcement to be as part of the solution. Mental health issues are a major problem and we need ways to deal with that too.

itive for Covid. Is the state doing enough to protect its citizens?
Kaminsky: Covid-19 has created an unprecedented health and financial crisis that requires strong leadership and decisive action - and that challenge will continue for some time as we work to keep the virus at bay while we rebuild our economy. I have been inspired by our community, which has come together in remarkable ways. I am proud of the work my office has done so far to meet these crises head on to protect Long Island, including delivering meals to the hungry and seniors, distributing PPE, connecting the unemployed to benefits, and doing all we can to support essential workers. But I have also made clear that Albany has to step up. That is why I pushed through mortgage relief for struggling homeowners, protections for tenants, and spending that is responsibly targeted at ending the health crisis. Johnson: I think we’re doing a lot but a lot more needs to be done. We need better communication between Albany and the local communities. Take catering halls and restaurants. Catering halls can have 50 percent capacity but restaurants can only serve 25 people. What’s the difference? Nassau County coordinated with the towns to help restaurants. This is a novel virus and things change very quickly. We need better communication. Herald: Much of the district is environmentally fragile. How would you deal with this?

Herald: Why do you believe voters should elect you?
Kaminsky: Long Islanders deserve a
fighter who delivers. As Senator, I have delivered real results for our community by putting Long Island families ahead of Albany politics. I strengthened anti-corruption laws, stood up for women’s access to health care, held utilities accountable, fought for the families of differently able children, secured benefits for 9/11 first responders, authored a nation-leading law to fight climate change, and brought home millions of dollars for local schools, roads, the LIRR and infrastructure–all while voting hundreds of times to block tax increases and cap property taxes. Now I am helping lead us through the coronavirus pandemic. Since the crisis began, I secured protective equipment, funded food drives, cracked down on businesses that ignored safety guidelines, and won mortgage relief to protect Long Islanders’ homes.
Johnson: Life! My household budget is
completely balanced. I’m a mother. I see what’s going on outside. I care. I don’t have any aspirations to go any higher than the State Senate.

he collective experience of being under lockdown during 2020 has had one big effect for many of us: It’s strengthened the urge to refresh our homes, now that we’re spending more time there than ever. And not just for aesthetics, but for functionality, especially as home offices become our regular offices (and thus Zoom meeting backgrounds), living rooms/dens often become gyms (and even classrooms and second offices), while patios, decks and yards become the only respite available from overused indoor spaces — and an extension of our homes where we enjoy socially distant activities with family and friends. The months spent at home have many of us ready to make some changes to our living space — if we haven’t done so already. With an eye on the bank account, you don’t have to sacrifice style for price. Simple cosmetic touches like a fresh coat of paint or color accents can provide a fresh start without breaking the bank.
throw rug or window covering, and then pulling an accent color from that item to use on an accent wall and instantly create a cohesive design. Next, use a color that sits next to that accent color on the color wheel and lighten it up as much as you can for a trim or ceiling paint.“This really brings things together but not in a dramatic way,” she says. Paint works for updating furniture and other household items, too. Interior designer Kayla Goldstein advises looking for secondhand items and revamping them with spray paint. “I cannot tell you how many amazing finds I have found in thrift stores, garage sales and flea markets,” she says. “Almost anything has potential, and spray paint is phenomenal in bringing it out. You can find items for $30 or less and spruce them up and reimagine them.” She advises investing in good-quality picture frames so you can dress up your walls with inexpensive artwork and photos, even creating your own gallery wall for a glam look.
Paint “Never underestimate the power of paint, especially if you’re willing to do it yourself,” says Cristina Miguelez, a remodeling specialist for home remodeling website Fixr. “You can paint everything.” Miguelez loves budget decorating and appreciates the versatility of paint, including countertop paint, appliance paint, floor paint, and wall and ceiling paint. She suggests choosing one focal point in a room, such as a great
Details Paying attention to details can have big impact. Consider replacing kitchen and bathroom cabinet hardware, like knobs and draw pulls, with a fresh, affordable alternative. Many of these accents start at a few dollars. Designer and Realtor James Judge recommends adding trim to your walls to enhance your space. For example, you can choose wainscoting for a classic look or add a grid pattern using basic 1-by-2-foot panels from a local hardware store.

“It’s a great way to make the space visually appealing,” says Judge, noting the whole project takes a few hours and costs under $100. Throw rugs and runners can add visual appeal to the floor and warm up your place. Lighting can add oomph as well. Judge recommends adding wall sconces in an office or bedroom to make the space cozier without adding clutter. Or simply replace lampshades. Also consider changing your light bulbs. “Sometimes we have a light that’s too blue and yellow would make the room cozier, or the opposite,” says Goldstein. “Make sure your light bulbs are light enough and the right degree of warmth for the use of the room.”
the main color scheme of the room or add a bold pop of color that perhaps opposes the color scheme. You can rotate decor accents as needed, being mindful to limit clutter. Add festive seasonal touches to your space like different pillows, blankets, candles, table decor, table runners, placemats and more. Even though these items aren’t permanent, they add personality and allow you to experiment with colors, textures and patterns in small amounts. These creative interior design updates are quick, easy and inexpensive yet impactful. Keeping your home decor refreshed and up to date will help you fall in love with your home all over again.

uckily, we were not affected professionally by the pandemic. Rachelle and Renee were fortunate to be able to work from home since March, and Sarah worked in person throughout the entire pandemic, while her children learned remotely from home. All things considered, the pandemic forced us to sit still and watch our houses become offices, schools and safe havens. This moment of mindfulness allowed us to truly “see” our community without the noise. We watched as Elmont was one of Nassau County’s hardest-hit communities by coronavirus. The news disclosed how the coronavirus disproportionately affected African-Americans and Latinos. Elmont’s population is mostly African-American and Latinx. And then the murder of George Floyd unfortunately happened. We realized that we need to take care of our own. We need to take care of Elmont because Elmont deserves better. This sparked Elmont Strong Inc., with our mission statement: “We imagine a better and more beautiful Elmont. We will enact on those ideas to make change happen through beautification, public relations efforts and opportunities for continuous community involvement, and building partnerships and active participation with local institutions and businesses. Most importantly, we want to empower the community and youth to foster civic leadership in order to make Elmont a community with pride.”

veryone at Crossroads Farm felt just as nervous as the other residents when the village was on lockdown. Once we were deemed as essential, we carefully researched and put together a plan that would allow visitors on the farm in limited numbers, and we figured out a way to hold things together financially. While we followed Covid-19 guidelines for both staff and the visitors, we still wanted to give people an opportunity to feel like they’re part of the farm. We were forced to limit our volunteers this year to adhere to the state’s health and safety guidelines, so we had a lot of the same farmers working on a daily basis to grow organic food. Food was becoming a necessity for many residents, so we decided launch a weekly farmers market at the end of March. We’ve done this without any kind of hiccup. We couldn’t do any of our usual events, but I feel really happy about what we were able to do under these circumstances. Later in the spring, our education directors at the farm established a virtual program for the children as part of our educational program to maintain a connection to the farm. It was a way for us to continue to do community building during the pandemic. Thanks to all of the events that we’ve been able to hold, we’ve seen a lot of new visitors from surrounding communities. That was one of my biggest goals for years. It’s given me a personal reassurance that we’re doing the right thing. The fact that we came out of this with a sense of enhanced relevance certainly reminds us of our purpose for being here.

aren Mobley: Covid has been like a punch indescribable, and Sharon talked about how people couldn’t make ends meet and wished she could help them with one of the expenses that would be important. She decided it would be food. I asked my boss if I could not work on Fridays to help her. We have been running it every Friday with [several other Rockville Centre community members]. We’re able to be a blessing to about 70 families a week. When we are lacking with donations, our church has taken up a collection and contributed. The members there come out and volunteer and run the pantry. Mid way through our run, Sharon was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer and had to start chemo and radiation. Everyone is asking for her to thank her. Our sons participate, too. It’s become a family and community project. We wear a mask, sanitize things; we allow one person in at a time. Anytime during the hours we distribute, you can find a line of people waiting to get in to get food. We love the pantry, we’ve met so many great people, and we’ve become family and look forward to seeing them every week. I’m excited and full of joy because the people are going to be able to have food for over a week, we’re getting so much stuff. I feel that during this time, we’ve put politics and personal issues aside to come together to meet the needs of those who didn’t ask to be put in this position that the pandemic caused them to be in and taking it one day at a time.

uring this pandemic, one unique difference with our kindergarten students is that they report to school daily, in-person and five days a week. My class does not follow the hybrid schedule. The pandemic has changed how I interact with my students because we have no personal contact. High-fives have been replaced with foot taps, and air hugs stand in place of real hugs. It is really hard to not hug or high-five a kindergartener. Another change caused by the pandemic is that the students are becoming more technologically literate in order to supplement classroom instruction, despite their young age. It is truly amazing to see how quickly they pick up new skills on their iPads. I am proud of how much they have learned already. Other changes that the pandemic has caused for us is that we perform temperature checks in the morning, students eat their lunches in the classroom with limited movement in the hallways, and we have plexiglass shields around the perimeter of each student’s desk. The job of a teacher is ongoing. At this time, I am working the same amount of hours that I was working prior to the pandemic, if not more, to make sure that I am able to meet all the needs of my students. It is important to me that I deliver instruction that is meaningful and engaging, despite the circumstances. When I think about how teaching looked at the beginning of the pandemic to now, I am grateful that six months later, I have the opportunity to go to work each day.

CommUnity Coalition members, from left, Corey Shakur, Zeke Cohen and K. Brent Hill, executive director of the Five Towns Community Center, before the Sept. 30 motorcade began.
Diverse groups engage to unite communities continued from front page religiously and ethnically diverse, all people are created in the divine image,” Elkodsi said. “That means we not only need to respect our differences, but we need to cherish them and learn from each other. When we get to know each other, we can break down barriers to understanding each other and living together.” Representatives of the new coalition said that it was founded in response to the nationwide unrest caused by police shootings of Black people, the protests that sometimes turned into riots, and a recognition, according to a statement, that “stronger bonds needed to be established between the various populations living side by side in the same neighborhoods.” “Faith leaders and faith-based community professionals play a major role in helping to create the kind of welcoming communities that we all want to live and raise our children in,” Elkodsi said. “We are looking to build meaningful relationships between various segments of our eclectic community,” said K. Brent Hill, executive director of the Five Towns Community Center. “The impetus was the murder of George Floyd that started the conversation. We’re thankful that a lot of the social upheaval has not happened here.” Hill said the coalition wants to promote one-to-one communication to learn what different groups have in common instead of just noting their differences as they remain in what he called “silos.” The challenge, magnified during a pandemic, is how to build bridges and forge relationships. In the short term, he said, there could be virtual concerts or a sharing of literature, and in the future, a unity day. “In a world that seems to be increasingly splintering apart, it is important that we start to see and understand each
other,” Rabbi Aaron Feigenbaum, of the Irving Place Minyan, said in a statement. “We have found that we have a lot in common, and I hope we can share that understanding and camaraderie with many others.” Aaron Rosenfeld, the Gural JCC’s chief executive officer, said that the coalition is aiming to bring together Blacks, Latinos, Orthodox Jews and others from public and private schools that are not otherwise engaged with one another to create educational opportunities that will produce more inclusivity, respect and understanding. “I think it’s about having the right people around the table,” Rosenfeld said. In addition to racial unrest, there has also been a recent increase in anti-Semitism. In 2019 there were more than 2,100 incidents of assault, harassment and vandalism against the Jewish community in the U.S., the most since 1979, according to the Anti-Defamation League. Michael Cohen, the eastern director of the Wiesenthal Center, said that in his view, the best way to combat anti-Semitism — or ethnic hatred of any kind — is by “bringing people together, increasing dialogue and education, bringing about inter-communal understanding, and ensuring a sincere sense of mutual respect.” “With its global reach, we believe that the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s experience and educational resources can be very helpful in providing tested physical tools that can help advance the rightfully ambitious goals of this extraordinary group of dedicated partners,” Cohen said, “and we aim to support the coalition’s efforts anywhere we can have a needed and positive impact.” Nakeem Grant contributed to this story.

Q. We have a situation where our new house was finished but our contractor didn’t get any inspections. Now we can’t get our certificate of occupancy. We replaced our house after Hurricane Sandy, and because it’s taller, it needed sprinklers. The contractor died and left no paperwork or permits for us. The plumber seems to have retired and left the state. We’re scrambling to figure this out. The building inspector is trying to help, Ask The and says we need all the Architect plumbing and electrical inspections, which means getting a new plumber and an electrician, who we located and is helping by giving us his sign-off, which we understand is through a private agency. We don’t understand why there’s a private agency instead of our building department. Don’t they give electric permits? The onte eeper hard part seems to be the sprinklers in our ceilings. Our architect, who drew the plans and showed the sprinkler head locations, says he can’t sign the affidavit the inspector needs without a sprinkler test, and nobody knows who installed the sprinkler plumbing. What can we do to get this over with?
M
L
A. The common theme of everything you describe is a lack of respect for rules and the shirking of responsibility by people who do the work. The contractor, may he rest in peace, as with all contractors, had an obligation to get inspections when working in your municipality under your permit. He also had an obligation to make certain the permit was in the owner’s possession and that they were working with copies to protect the original documents, which are as valuable as the closing papers on your home. The new plumber you’ll hire needs to get his name and license number registered with your municipality as the plumber of record, and hopefully knows how the sprinkler system works and can test it for the architect to see and approve. I’m always amazed that authorities who grant permits and issue licenses to plumbers and electricians don’t require those two professionals to sign their own name to their own work, just like any proud, licensed craftsperson should do. Instead, the same municipality makes it necessary for an engineer or architect, who had nothing to do with the installation, make a written statement that the system was installed to code and works correctly. So if the system fails, the plumber who installed the sprinklers walks away and the municipality points its finger at the architect or engineer when insurance inspectors step in to try to diminish the insurance payout and collect funds by suing the architect/engineer in order to settle your insurance claim. Architects and engineers don’t install or maintain building components. This particular procedure was purposely made complicated to avoid responsibility but to make it look like you’re protected, which is also why municipalities ask for a private agency to do your electrical inspection. They know that electrical work is a contributor to fire and avoid that responsibility, too.

I wondered why we see more demonizing than discussing; why what the media calls “debates” are really more like serial assertions, leaving essential questions undiscussed. Then I considered why elected officials of all stripes need each other. Why can’t we disagree without being disagreeable? What lessons are we teaching our children? Democrats are criticized for reliance on government for progressive social policies and infrastructure funding. Republicans want to cut taxes and reduce government. But infrastructure is needed to provide the platforms that Republicans expect for entrepreneurs to succeed. No millionaire or billionaire can legitimately claim that he or she did it alone. They, and certainly those who helped them, were most likely educated in public schools, drove to work on public roads, relied on police and firefighters, and used publicly licensed airwaves to communicate. They took for granted that they could eat safe foods and breathe clean air. In other words, entrepreneurs succeed by using facilities and systems funded by the taxes they don’t want to pay. Many anti-government types acknowledge this when they talk about “giving back” in recognition of the advantages society provided them. Far too often, though, these tax-deductible charitable contribu-
W
tions serve as “voluntary taxation,” supporting personal priorities instead of the public ones that should be funded by taxes. And there are notable problems that result from too little government involvement: an inadequate and inequitable health care system, a lack of pandemic preparedness, rampant racism, financial meltdowns, unprotected water and produce, and cities and towns that are ravaged by hurricanes and forest fires. We suffer from too much focus on individual freedoms and not enough on collective responsibility. This doesn’t mean that government is the answer to every problem — or that business and the market are the sources of all wisdom. There are proper functions for government and proper functions for the market, and ignoring the unique missions of either usually leads to difficulty. The market seeks profit maximization, the public seeks safety and assurances and each balances the other. Over time, disparate groups around the world have peacefully reached agreements on issues as diverse as the Law of the Sea treaty, international telecommunications, air traffic control, the calendar and time zones, to name just a few. In each case, all gained through compromise. They built on the unique characteristics of cooperation and tolerance.
e need leaders who will work on behalf of the public, not just party or base.
These examples give me hope that differing points of view can find common cause in the highly inefficient use of tax revenues. On Long Island, for example, we have some 900 taxing authorities, each with a board and administrative structure. Think of the numerous towns and villages in our two counties, and the school, water, sewer and library districts that serve our population of 2.8 million. The challenges ahead are too large for either the government or the market to solve by themselves. Energy uses and sources, unconstrained financial instruments and natural disasters like rising seas are greater than either sector can handle alone. We need less anger and attitude. Instead we need committed leaders who will work on behalf of the public, not just party or base, and an informed citizenry prepared to debate them in order to bring all sides together to address common problems with common sense. And we, the public, should commit ourselves to elect new representatives when those in office are more committed to noise than negotiation. Only when this happens — when we can debate without shouting, and disagree without being disagreeable — can we begin to spend tax dollars more wisely on the highest priorities, and not continue to borrow from the next generation. Robert A. Scott is president emeritus of Adelphi University.
As if it couldn’t have gotten worse, he was contagious
M
illions of Americans seem to be manifesting what has been called “insane” behavior: They keep doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different and better result. They keep flouting coronavirus regulations, and, even though such behavior has killed an outrageous number of Americans, they still expect a different outcome for themselves. They are surprised when they get sick. In the midst of a RAndI surging pandemic, kReIss they won’t wear a simple mask, even as the highly contagious virus sweeps across the country. They continue circulating the same lies about Covid-19 that have challenged the medical community from the beginning. These lies, minimizing the threat of the disease, undermine epidemiologists and embolden people to take risks that may land them in the ICU. Even though people at the White House are dropping like flies, those loyal to President Trump don’t see the necessity of a course correction in White House corona-
virus protocols. They are still ready to attend Trump’s mask-optional rallies without social distancing, even after people have gotten sick and died after such public events. Just ask Herman Cain. Millions think it’s OK to move about in public without observing the basic safety precautions issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They have no problem with sitting within spitting distance of the speaker at the podium. Witness the president’s unmasked children sitting in the audience at the first debate. I still see people without masks in local stores. They apparently believe that if Covid-19 isn’t a hoax, then at worst it’s no big deal, and in Trump’s case it’s “a blessing in disguise.” So, no worries. And why should they fret? The president of the United States isn’t worried. Even after testing positive, after suffering various clinical symptoms of Covid-19, having at least two episodes of low oxygen levels and spiking a fever, he is champing at the bit to hold rallies and even an in-person second debate with Joe Biden. At press time, the White House was refusing to release his updated Covid-19 test results. These aren’t his tax returns;
A
this is life and death. He was a one-man source of contagion, with more than 30 people and counting in his inner and extended circle falling ill with the disease. It hasn’t been determined who is Patient One in the White House cluster, but Trump is doing nothing to urge contact tracing or rigorous testing. Even sick, he insisted on that notorious joy ride around Walter Reed Army Medical Center, exposing everyone in the presidential SUV to the virus. In his widely mocked “Covita” appearance from a White House balcony, looking like your generic dictator, he insisted he was cured. It was like a miracle. Actually, it was ill-advised and seemingly delusional. With Donald Trump, there is absolutely no learning curve, and on some level, that’s the worst thing about him. He doesn’t learn, he doesn’t evolve, he doesn’t get enlightened, he doesn’t ever apologize for his mistakes. He could get lucky and survive, but as we went to press, he should be in isolation, according to many medical experts. Nevertheless, he insists he is fine, and is going about his business, often without a mask and without observing social distancing.
nd Trump hinted that the Gold Star military families might have gotten him sick.
He has learned nothing from this bout with Covid-19. The novel coronavirus has brought about a novel realization. The president is unable to learn from his blunders and misapprehensions because he cannot acknowledge making mistakes. He never regrets; he never apologizes. Bad outcomes are always someone else’s fault. In the case of his Covid-19, he hinted that the Gold Star families he greeted at the White House might have gotten him sick. But he may have known he was positive for the virus before he received the military families in the White House, with few masks in sight. How could he not spread the infection he carried? In an interview, he said the Gold Star families love to touch him and kiss him. Some, I imagine, may pay a price for that privilege. In the criminal justice system, someone who can’t learn from his mistakes is known as a repeat offender. Repeat offenders in the time of Covid are those who keep walking through this viral fire without expecting to get burned. I must be insane, too, because I fully hoped that a chastened president might express thanks for his recovery and then embrace all the Covid-19 precautions that would keep the people around him safe.

MALVERNE/WEST HEMPSTEAD HERALD — October 15, 2020
I
was asked by a local proprietor why so many educators vote Democratic. I asked, “How do you know they do?” He blithely answered, “Well, I read it in the paper.” Our brief exchange was a friendly one, but it reminded me of how our nation’s deep political divisions now seem to define our daily discourse. Just in the past few years, the political trenches have become that much deeper and, sadly, the “debate” is that much more indecorous. What can we do to stem the excesses of partisanship, which I believe are RoBeRT A. infecting our politisCoTT cal process and the ability to make sound decisions on the most critical issues affecting our society? Think about the resistance to wearing masks and respecting social distancing. After the storekeeper’s comment, I began wondering why it seems that Republicans and Democrats can’t work together; why politics involves divisiveness, damning and distortion of the truth; why so many seem relentlessly opposed but not engaged. The certitude they show reveals no moral anguish about critical issues, like immigration, which must be reformed if we are to admit the talent we need at all levels.
Why can’t we work together?

Breast screening is still a must, despite pandemic
t
here is perhaps no disease that strikes greater fear in the hearts of women than breast cancer. It is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths, behind lung cancer, and the second-most-common form of cancer among women, behind skin cancer. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor the many who have died while spreading the word that early detection is key to preventing deaths. It’s an excellent time to have a mammogram or make an appointment to get one. Screenings and treatments, however, are down dramatically since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Breast imaging has dropped by 62 percent, genetic counseling by 26 percent, breast surgery by 21 percent, and as of August, new cancer diagnoses by 52 percent, research shows. Medical experts are urging women to be screened and keep up any treatments and surgeries. Breast cancer occurs when cells grow beyond their normal bounds. The cancer can then metastasize — that is, spread through the blood or lymph systems to other parts of the body. The average age of diagnosis for breast cancer is 62, though experts recommend that women begin having annual mammograms at age 45, and as early as 40 for women with histories of breast cancer in their families. Though the symptoms can range widely, some of the most common include: ■ A lump, knot or thickening under the breast or in the underarm area. ■ Swelling, redness or darkening of the breast. ■ Change in a breast’s size or shape. ■ An itchy, scaly sore or rash on the nipple. ■ A pulling-in or retraction of the nipple or other parts of the breast.

ACS-2345■(227-2345)■or■www.cancer.org. In June 2016, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the Get Screened, No Excuses Law, which gives public employees four hours of paid leave per year for breast cancer screening and eliminates such obstacles as co-payments and annual deductibles. The measure also requires 210 hospitals and clinics to offer extended hours for screenings to help women who have difficulty scheduling mammograms during a typical 9-to-5 workday. Screening is among the most important ways to prevent breast cancer, but there are other actions you can take to reduce your risk of developing it. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, a woman who exercises four hours per week reduces her risk. Eating a low-fat, nutritious diet can help. A diet high in fat increases the risk by triggering the hormone estrogen, which fuels tumor growth. So fill your plate with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Compared with non-drinkers, women who have one alcoholic drink a day have a very small increase in risk. Those who have two to five drinks daily, however, have about 1½ times the risk of women who don’t drink. According to the women’s breast-feeding advocacy group La Leche League International, and the New York State Department of Health, studies confirm
letters Supporting Judy Griffin To the Editor: I wish to express my support for the re-election of State Assemblywoman Judy Griffin in the 21st Assembly District. During the past two years that Griffin has been in office, she has followed through with her promise to be the voice of all of her constituents, without regard to party affiliation. Griffin promised to fight to
bring funding to the district, and she has delivered. She sought and secured federal funding for child care facilities, school supplies and personal protective equipment for essential front-line workers. More important, during these challenging times, she has helped small businesses navigate governmental bureaucracy. She has assisted small business owners in the community in reopening because she understands that small businesses are the lifeblood of our community. Griffin has also been a reliable source, guiding constituents

Research shows that the longer a woman breast-feeds, the more protected she is against the disease. The American Cancer Society says that new technology to fight breast cancer is emerging, and that modern medicine’s understanding of the risk factors is also improving. Consulting with your doctor and being vigilant about your health are the most important actions that a woman can take. The key is awareness. Know your body, and know your risks. Prevention and early detection are the best weapons in the battle against breast cancer.

P
at Foye, chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, has said that service on the Long Island Rail Road and Metro North could be reduced by as much as 50 percent — and bus and subway service by 40 percent — in the coming months if the MTA does not receive $12 billion in federal aid. At the same time, fares could go up by more than the scheduled 4 percent next year. In other words, there would be substantially less service for more money. And those cuts would not only leave many commuters seethLarrY ing, but could also Penner create further financial and safety risks for the MTA and its passengers. Significant service cuts or fare hikes require a public hearing process. As a recipient of Federal Transit Administration funding, the MTA must comply with federal Title VI and other civil rights guidelines. Service cuts cannot have an adverse impact on minority, low-income and physically challenged communities. The process would require a series of public hearings across the metropolitan
area, which would take the MTA several months. It would be subject to review by the FTA and the New York City and state governments. Service reductions would require the MTA to update its FTA bus, subway and commuter rail fleet management plans. The FTA would want to ensure that the MTA has the financial resources to maintain its equipment, so that rail cars can remain operational for their intended lifespan of 39 years, and buses, 14 years. But with such extensive reductions, several hundred to several thousand commuter and subway rail cars and buses would no longer be needed, and couldn’t simply be kept around as spare equipment. The LIRR has a fleet of more than 1,150 cars, and Metro North, more than 1,260. New York City Transit has 6,400 subway cars, and more than 5,700 buses operate in the city. The fleets are partially federally funded, and equipment that is no longer needed for passenger service as a result of service reductions would require the FTA’s permission to be temporarily mothballed in a safe and secure location, while still being maintained. That would defeat the goal of cost savings. Another option would be to transfer
r
equipment that is no longer needed to another transit agency. The paperwork alone involved in this process would take several months, and, once the transfer is completed, if ridership increases significantly or parts of the fleet need to be replaced, additional equipment would not be readily available. The MTA could also purchase the excess federally funded equipment from the FTA, basing its value on depreciation. The MTA would then be free to sell the surplus equipment and keep the proceeds. And it could retire any equipment that has already reached the end of its intended lifespan. But this, too, could lead to a shortage of equipment down the road. Most important, as far as commuters are concerned, a major reduction in LIRR service would go directly against promised increases in that service: new trains for the New York Islanders’ arena at Belmont Park, starting next October; a 40 percent increase in rush-hour service when the $2.6 billion Main Line Third Track is completed in December 2022; the addition of 24 trains per hour during peak times in support of the $11.2 billion East Side Access to Grand Central Terminal, also scheduled for December 2022;
eductions could leave commuters seething and increase costs for the agency.
Letters through any issue or hardship during the Covid-19 crisis, whether it was holding PSE&G LI accountable for its delay in repairing service or ensuring that the cost of PPE for dental procedures wouldn’t be a financial burden for patients. Griffin’s record demonstrates that she is someone you can count on to advocate for you, especially in these challenging times. DEBRA SIEGEL Rockville Centre
Defending our rights To the Editor: Re Scott Brinton’s column “We could use a little old-school politics right now” (Oct. 1-7): I was saddened to read that some of the people who responded to Brinton’s previous column, “A maddening tale of two presidencies” (Sept. 17-23), resorted to name-calling. I am also the child of a World War II Navy veteran. I am retired from the FDNY, which I served proudly for 26 years. I also have been involved with multiple charitable endeavors, along with many of my friends. We have delivered supplies and toys (more than 100,000) to areas coping with the aftermath of hurricanes in the U.S. since Katrina in 2005. I believe in the Constitution, and I love the United States. I support the police, and just as we were told after 9/11 that we should not judge all
and an increase in reverse-peak service on all branches by the end of that year. The MTA board of directors has a legal and fiduciary responsibility to protect the interests of both commuters and taxpayers. We need to make sure that Foye details all of the potential costs and challenges of the changes he has in mind with the board as well as elected officials at all levels of government before he proceeds with those cuts. And Long Islanders need to know how their daily commutes will change if the proposed cuts and fare hikes are implemented. How overcrowded will trains become? What will be the cost in time that commuters spend standing on platforms? How will social distancing be maintained as the coronavirus pandemic drags on? These are questions that all of us who use the LIRR and any other branches of the MTA should be asking. To voice your opinions, write to Foye, at the MTA, 2 Broadway, New York, N.Y. 10004, or LIRR President Phil Eng, at the LIRR, 4312 Sutphin Blvd., Jamaica, N.Y. 11435. Or record a comment for one of the MTA’s monthly board meetings, now being held on Zoom. For a schedule and instructions, go to www.mtaboardmeetings. Larry Penner is a transportation advocate, historian and writer who worked for the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 New York Office for over three decades.

Muslims by the actions of a few, we should not now judge all law enforcement officers by the actions of a few. In Brinton’s most recent column, he wrote of Justice Ruth Ginsberg and her deep and abiding Jewish faith. Will the press now stand idly by if Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett is bashed for practicing her Catholic faith by those on the left? The First Amendment clearly gives people the right to practice their religion, in addition to the right to free expression. Journalists have the choice to defend her constitutional rights or to pile on. And if you believe that all people have equal First Amendment rights in our country, I challenge you to wear a Make America Great Again hat and walk through the Upper West Side, SoHo, Greenwich Village or nearly anywhere in New York City and see how far you get. To Brinton, I say keep up the good work because, although I do not agree with most of what he writes, I enjoy and respect his conviction and will defend his First Amendment right to the press.

Time to ban fracking To the Editor: U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice has shown herself to be a true partner in helping to bring
A monarch butterfly, one of nature’s works of art — Oyster Bay
New York state and our country to 100 percent clean and renewable energy. Indeed, her opposition to the Port Ambrose Liquefied Natural Gas Port and her support for offshore wind is commendable. But our planet is rapidly heating up, making it urgent that we move off fossil fuels such as fracked gas.
I urge Rice to co-sponsor and actively work for the passage of the Fracking Ban Act (H.R. 5857). We need to ban hydraulic fracturing and stop any new fossil fuel infrastructure across our country. JOSEPH VARON West Hempstead
