Inwood fire aims to expand and add a truck

NASSAU HERALD — January 27, 2022
By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com
Inwood Fire District residents are being asked to vote on two resolutions. One is to allow the fire district to borrow $2.8 million for a single-story 2,900-square-feet addition and renovation of the existing firehouse at 188 Doughty Blvd. in Inwood. The second to permit the district to borrow another $2 million to purchase a new fire truck and the associated equipment. “The firehouse is currently at capacity,” said Dennis Varriello, the fire district’s manager, “it is a tight fit, difficult to walk around, get access to the equipment and for firefighters to get dressed.” Varriello, speaking for the five fire district commissioners, said that should the resolution for the construction be approved the addition will be built with a foundation for a possible second floor in the future. In 1928, the original firehouse was built on the northeast corner of Wanser Avenue and Doughty Boulevard. The firehouse was expanded in 1952 and 32 years later an annex was constructed. Should the second resolution be approved the fire district will add a 100-foot bucket ladder truck to its fleet. The current bucket ladder truck is 75 feet. The new truck is expected to cost roughly $2 million and the amount to be borrowed is not to exceed $2 million. Varriello said that the larger truck is needed because at least two buildings are expected to be constructed in Inwood that will be five stories and there is expected to be more building with the anticipated transit- oriented residential and mixed-use development in Inwood and North Lawrence. The current fleet includes two ambulances, two engines, two ladder trucks, a rescue boat and a five-ton Army truck housed in an out building. That truck is

The Inwood Fire Department was established in 1887. The fire district was formed in 1926. Fire districts are political entities with elected governing bodies – boards of commissioners – that sets a budget. A fire district has the power both to incur indebtedness and to require the levy of taxes. It purchases the equipment the fire department needs. The fire department responds to fires and other emergencies. Its stated mission is to “aid in the preservation of life and property for all members of our community,” officials have posted on the department’s Facebook page.
Inwood’s department consists of Hose Company 314/ Squad 318, Truck Company 313 and Engine Company 311. The volunteer unit has nearly 80 members and responds to upwards of 600 medical calls, 500 in district fire calls and additional emergencies as part of mutual aid with the other 3rd Battalion departments: Hewlett, Meadowmere Park, Lawrence-Cedarhurst, Valley Stream and Woodmere. An informational meeting on the two proposed resolutions is being held on Jan. 27 at 7 p.m., in the training room of the Inwood Fire Department firehouse at 188 Doughty Blvd., in Inwood. Voting is on Tuesday, Feb. 8 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the firehouse.
Spanning the Atlantic Bridge tollbooth issues By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com
Beginning anything new comes with its own set obstacles to overcome, so with the Re-imagining Atlantic Beach Bridge Toll Plaza Citizens Committee starting its work at a Jan. 5 meeting to consider the best manner to spend $5 million for the overhaul of the 11-lane toll plaza Nassau County Bridge Authority Executive Director Vincent Grasso used the first meeting as an introduction to the 70-year-old bridge. “The meeting primarily was about what the bridge is, correcting misperceptions, misinformation,” said Grasso, who used a PowerPoint presentation to illustrate basic information about the 1,173foot, six-lane bridge that has a 68-footwide roadway and a six-foot-wide walkway for pedestrians and cyclists. At the initial meeting, Grasso said that the goals for the next six months were laid out culminating with the major goal of putting out a Request For Proposal on bids for the projected toll booth plaza work no later than at summer’s end. In 2019, the last year before the coronavirus pandemic turned life topsy-turvy, there were 6,467,061 vehicles passages with an average daily traffic of 17,717 vehicles across the bridge, according to figures supplied by the bridge authority. It is the only drawbridge on Long Island to

Some members of the committee, which included an in-person portion and a few on Zoom, registered complaints about the 20-trip pass cards that are sold for $15. If the motorist does not use all of the trips in the same year, the trips are lost and another card must be purchased. The pass cards generate $250,000 in annual income. Exploring changes and new payment processes is also part of this,
Grasso said. Longtime Atlantic Beach resident Barry Ringelheim, a committee member, said that anecdotally and as a personal opinion, residents view the bridge as a layer of security. “Residents of Atlantic Beach do like the toll booths as a degree of protection for the community,” he said. “They like having the police there.” A possible idea for the new tollbooths is purchasing made-to-order pre-fabricated booths that would incorporate heat to keep the toll takers warm in the cold weather and fans during the warmer seasons. The current toll booths came from a
New Jersey roadway roughly 40 years ago, Ringelheim said. Discussion on the EZPass system also gets under way when the topic of changing payment systems crops up. Bridge authority officials, including a five-member board of commissioners, said they have conducted a few studies in the past 10 years on implementing EZPass. NCBA officials said that there are costs associated with this, which include membership in an industry association, installation of a new physical infrastructure and partnering with EZPass, a private corporation. Grasso pointed to the $16 it costs to use the Lincoln Tunnel for passenger cars, while the A.B. Bridge toll has remained $2 since 2007 and no increase is anticipated through 2027. Woodmere resident Asher Matathias, also on the committee, wrote in an email an eternal question that needs to be answered regarding how to spend the $5 million. “Do we extract and pay only for that benefit we can see and feel?” he stated. “Or do we sometimes forgo immediate gratification, because there is a greater good that is derived in helping to alleviate a burden inordinately impacting on some?” The next meeting is Feb. 2.

Covid cases in Hewlett High School increased after students returned from the holiday break as did cases nationally and globally with the spread of the Omicron variant. Though the number of cases had risen, Hewlett High as part of the Hewlett-Woodmere School District, has managed the increase and maintained the safety of everyone in the building. Through the statewide distribution, district schools gained access to at-home testing kits that were distributed to families. Parents interested in receiving test kits completed a Google for m requesting a kit that was iral available for pick up the following week. Although the use of the kits was not mandated, they were offered to all students and allowed HHS to keep track of cases in the school for those who opted in. The district has also offered free PCR testing every Tuesday evening and Thursday afternoon for all students, parents, teachers and staff. The free testing services were administered by Healthcare Logics through Northwell Labs and have been a great resource for the entire community. As opposed to nasal swab tests, oral swab tests were administered, and results were released by phone or text as soon as they were available. The short wait times for testing were greatly appreciated by community members who were able to avoid long lines at other local testing centers.

The faculty has been diligent about ensuring that all students are wearing masks. Students are provided with masks upon entrance to the high school and are often reminded to cover their nose and mouth on the a n n o u n c e m e n t s e a ch morning. To accommodate those who have been quarantined, Hewlett High School has also reinstated virtual lear ning for students. Those who require quarantine under the CDC guidelines join classes virtually through Google Meet, while teachers and the majority of students remain in- person. As Havre learning virtually can be a bit isolating, teachers have put forth their best efforts including online students in the classroom environment until their return. Efforts have been made to replicate a “normal” school year while accommodating the requirements for Covid safety. With the implementation of testing resources and virtual learning, students and faculty can learn in comfort at Hewlett High.

The Hewlett-Woodmere Board of Education voted on its 2022-2023 school calendar, which will not include the Muslim Eid holidays, a disappointment to more than 1,000 people who signed a petition in favor adding the holidays. After discussing three different versions of the calendar, calendar A, B and C, the board voted six-to-one for calendar A. Calendar A was drafted with an extra snow day, totaling four, in case of a security issue that would call for Hewlett-Woodmere schools to close. Calendar A would have school begin on Aug. 31, 2022. Calendar B differed with only three snow days built into the calendar, and that school would start on Sept. 1, 2022, one day after calendar A’s starting day. Both calendars A and B have 181 instructional days. Calendar C was not drafted before the Jan. 12 meeting, but noted by board President Debra Sheinin when Trustee Dr. Jonathan Altus, the lone vote to add Eid to the school calendar, suggested a calendar which includes the Muslim Eid holidays. Calendar C was not discussed at the Jan. 19 regular meeting and a draft of calendar C was not made public. Many Muslim community members attended the Jan. 12 work meeting. “This isn’t just about a day off anymore, this is about representation and representation matters,” Hewlett High graduate Asma Rasheed said at the work meeting. “We have Easter on a Sunday — even though we don’t get necessarily a day off for it, it is written on the calendar — I would love to see Eid written on the calendar even if we do not get a day off for it, and I think that is a very easy compromise to make for the school district.” In 2018, after the board discussed adding Eid holidays to the school calendar

with legal counsel, it decided that there was no definite secular purpose for the addition. The board has reconsidered the holiday in 2019, when they found, again, that there was insufficient secular purpose to close Hewlett-Woodmere schools on these days. At the Jan. 19 regular meeting, the board stuck with their decision against adding Eid holidays to the calendar based on legal counsel. Altus said that the district’s “attorneys are experts at educational law,” and that his own interpretation of the legal counsel — which was, “that there would be a significant attendance fall off and that there would be a significant waste of educational resources,” Altus said — was his basis for favoring adding Eid to the school calendar. Sheinin thanked everyone, including students, for coming and sharing their opinions. “If any of the students here question if they can be absent on a holiday, it is not considered an absence in terms of attendance,” she said. “You are free to stay home on your religious observances.” Students are excused from school for religious reasons, but part of their concern is making up schoolwork or tests missed due to religious days. Another concern is would having students missing school cause a waste of educational resources with schools open and would the district find a secular purpose to close? It is an issue that Muslim parents, and others in favor of the holiday addition, have considered, and will discuss again if Eid is to land on a school day. “Absenteeism on Eid, which could be upwards of 150 to 200-plus students, is still seen as negligible numbers for the board,” said district parent Sahar Hussain. “Though we proposed to eliminate absences and wasting resources altogether by using superintendents conference days, that suggestion was disregarded.”

Feeling grateful in Lawrence Applying a different approach to the typical New Year’s resolutions, Lawrence School District’s Mental Wellness Committee invited the schools to celebrate what they were thankful for as students returned to school after the holiday break. With research showing that feeling grateful results in improved physical and psychological health, increased feelings of empathy, improved sleep, reduced aggression, enhanced self-esteem and stronger mental and social connections, school staff introduced activities each day to help students make the connection between expressing gratitude and feeling good. The activities were geared to engage the students in all aspects of the academic curriculum. “Students and staff were quick to point out all that they were grateful for,” said Lawrence Superintendent Dr. Ann Pedersen stated in a news release. “Showing gratitude is something we definitely all need and should be doing right now. Even the smallest action can really go a long way in promoting good health.” Elementary and middle school students challenged themselves to find something they were grateful for starting with
each letter of the alphabet. Several of the schools created giant mason jars where students wrote what they were grateful for, while middle school students contributed to a giant journal. Students in grades four through eight wrote thank you cards to someone who had made a difference in their lives, learning that giving matches the feeling of receiving. Primary school students created gratitude mugs with marshmallows that expressed why each child is grateful. Early Childhood Center students took part in a seven-day gratitude challenge, complete with thank you notes and celebrating what they love about themselves. District Psychologist Dr. Karen Mackler, who leads the of the Wellness Committee, sent out a newsletter to staff each day, including journaling prompts, sayings about gratitude, a gratitude quiz and brief videos on behalf of the committee. “It was a great way to start the year on a positive note, reminding us of all the good gratitude can do in our lives,” Mackler said in the release. –Jeffrey Bessen
Moses on trial at Brandeis Blending the Bible and the contemporary judicial system Brandeis school students took part in a mock trial that presented the case as to why Moses should or should not be punished for his alleged sin of hitting the rock after God commanded him to speak to the rock. Sixth-graders served as the defense attorneys and prosecutors, and presented their cases. Brandeis parent Sheera Greenberg, who is a lawyer, helped the student attorneys with their legal arguments and how to structure the cases.
Middle school Judaic studies teacher Shelly Zaltsman coordinated the trial. The seventh-grade jurors were not able to come to a decision and explained to the judge that it was “God’s choice” to decide Moses’s fate. The students learned that Moses was denied access into the land of Israel because of his lack of faith in God’s words and for his failure to follow specific instructions.

Time is running out for Lawrence’s boys’ basketball team to salvage its season. The Tornadoes have two victories against Conference A-5 opponents through six games with four to go following a split of a home-and-home with Island Trees last week. A top four finish in the six-team conference or a minimum of five wins qualifies them for the playoffs, leaving little room for error down the stretch. “Turnovers are hurting us more than anything else, but today we had only nine and we were one point away from having all five starters score in double figures” head coach Lou Robinson said after Lawrence’s 57-51 home win over the Bulldogs last Saturday afternoon. “We’re averaging about 20 turnovers per game so we’re making it harder on ourselves than it needs to be.” It wasn’t until the fourth quarter of the first meeting Jan. 19 at Island Trees when turnovers became a problem for Lawrence (4-9 overall.) The Golden Tornadoes held an 8-point lead through three quarters but slowly saw it slip away and Antonio Mathew scored the final three points to give the Bulldogs a 46-43 decision. “There’s really not that much difference between the top and bottom of the conference,” Robinson said. Mathew had a game-high 20 points, including a stunning near full-court heave at the end of the first half at the buzzer to bring Island Trees within 28-24 after Lawrence executed a perfect possession and scored on junior Dexter Robinson’s layup with 1.6 seconds to go. Senior Don Smalls III scored 8 of his team-leading 17 points in the second quarter and was the surest ballhandler on the floor throughout. After Island Trees’ Joseph Meyer (10 points) opened the second half with a trey to make it a 28-27 game, Lawrence scored 9 of the final 11 points of the third quarter to build its biggest advantage of the evening at 37-29. Dexter Robinson (14 points) capped the run with a shot from behind the arc after baskets by Smalls III and senior Kanye Robinson on previous possessions.

JuNIOr DExTEr rOBINSON totaled 29 points last week as Lawrence split a pair of Conference A5 games with Island Trees. Both teams won at home. “I was worried that long three pointer they hit was going to come back to bite us, but then we had a strong third quarter,” coach Robinson said. “Then we just fell apart.” The margin was down to 37-36 after Kian McCoy, Meyer and Mathew combined for the first seven points of the final quarter. Then, after Dexter Robinson and Mathew traded hoops, McCoy gave Island Trees its first lead since the early stages of the second quarter with a pair of free throws.
The Bulldogs led 43-41 thanks to a Nicholas Saragosi three-pointer with 1:50 left. Dexter Robinson answered to tie it, but Mathew hit the eventual winning field goal with 38.2 seconds remaining. In last Saturday’s critical rematch, Lawrence outscored Island Trees 16-4 in the third quarter to break a halftime tie. Dexter Robinson led a balanced attack with 15 points. Kanye Robinson added 12, junior Tyler Bowers had 11, sophomore Avery Folawiyo chipped in 10, and Smalls III had 9.

Timeless values, visible results
he week is set aside to promote the unique nature of the Catholic schools in each community. Schools typically observe the annual celebration week with Masses and open houses to thank parishioners, to welcome visitors and to introduce new families to the benefits of a Catholic education. It frequently kicks off with a Mass and open house on the first Sunday (Jan. 30), and a series of events designed to recognize the contributions of students, parents and faculty during the course of the week. Many schools offer additional open houses and opportunities to visit during the week as well. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation. In addition to the internal events (teacher and parent recognition events, school ‘spirit’ days, special assemblies, etc) it is also a week where the schools open their doors to the families of their Parish/Parishes they serve, and to the general public who might be considering the benefits of a Catholic education. As a family considering a Catholic education, how do I learn more? Catholic Schools Week features Open Houses at the schools where parents and students can visit the school(s) they think they might be interested in and get a tour of the facility, be introduced to the teachers, meet some of the current families and children and generally learn about the academic, spiritual, social and physical development programs.
The benefits of a Catholic education As a prospective family, do I have an ‘assigned school’? One of the first differences you will notice about Catholic school is that you get to select the school that you believe your children will be most successful in. There is no direct ‘assignment’ based on where you live and most school districts provide busing to the school of your choice within a 15-mile radius. Is there a difference in tuition to attend a different school? Long Island’s Catholic Elementary schools set their own tuitions, so they vary slightly, but there is no penalty for choosing a school outside of your Parish or town if you are a parishioner in the Diocese. The system of schools is an asset here on Long Island for all of the families of the Diocese and for all of the families of Long Island What should parents look for during their visit? Many parents of current students tell us that their decision was emotional and based on a feeling of warmth and caring they got during their visit. Others are more analytical and make direct comparisons based on the results on standardized test scores and high school admittance history. Regardless of how you make your decision, the schools are
‘open books’ during this week, providing whatever information prospective families desire to support their decision. When parents select Catholic elementary school, what are the most frequently cited reasons? The reasons that are most frequently mentioned are: academic excellence, the reinforcement of the values lived at home, Catholic religious identity, a safe, nurturing environment for learning, more individualized attention to each student’s learning needs, an outstanding extracurricular program and the level of partnership established with parents. `Will attending Catholic elementary schools help my child get into a prestigious Catholic high school? Attending a Catholic elementary school isn’t the only way to get into a Catholic high school, but it is still the best way. The Catholic high schools are open to all students and typically have a very significant number of students from a public school background. Students qualify for Catholic high school through a test for 8th graders that is administered in October of
Catholic Schools Week is upon us — Jan. 30-Feb. 5 — with the goal of raising the awareness of Catholic schools as an outstanding educational option.
each year. Typically the students from Catholic elementary schools are best prepared for the academic rigor, the integrated program of faith and values, and the service orientation of the high schools. Virtually all of the students from Catholic elementary school (99 percent) are admitted to a Catholic high school with the vast majority getting into the school that is their first choice. You can learn more about the high school entrance exam, and about the Catholic High Schools at http://chsee.org. Are non-Catholics welcome in the schools? The schools are welcoming places to everyone without regard to race, religion or national origin. A religion class is a requirement, students participate in Liturgies, and faith is an integrated part of daily activities, but many schools have a significant population of students who attend because of the quality of the education alone. How can I learn more or choose the school(s) I would like to visit? There is a resource for families on the Internet that provides a very complete picture of the Catholic elementary school experience. It features an interactive map that is your guide to each of Long island’s distinctive Catholic schools, and that lets you view the geographic options for your children at http://licatholicelementaryschools.org.

A proven record of achievement
Students excel today and gain the confidence to succeed all their lives Long Island Catholic schools provide the academic rigor and study regimen, moral and spiritual instruction, along with all the extracurricular programs that nurture and set the foundation for the future success. By receiving this complete education in an inspiring environment, children gain the knowledge, skills, and self-esteem that prepare them for a life of personal and professional achievement.
(Public – 31.1 percent; Catholic 61.9 percent).
Demonstrated student success Various objective standards illustrate the advantages of a Catholic school education. Elementary school students in the Diocese of Rockville Centre score higher than the national average on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, a nationally recognized benchmark. A higher percentage of Catholic elementary school students exceed the standards of the New York state examinations in English Language Arts than other students in the state. More than 90 percent of elementary students go on to Catholic high schools, and over 99 percent of those graduates go on to college. Most Catholic elementary school graduates go to the most prestigious Catholic high schools, attend highly sought after colleges, and go on to live accomplished lives. By the numbers √ Nationally, almost 20 percent (19.8 percent) are racial minorities. The largest part of that group is Hispanic students representing 15 percent. Non-Catholic enrollment is 16.4 percent of the total. √ The student/teacher ratio is 13:1. √ 96.8 percent of the staff are Laity and 3.2 percent are Religious/ Clergy. √ Nationally, college bound religious school students scored and average of 1595 on the 2013 SAT (Reading 531, Writing 528, Math 536) vs.. an average of 1474 for college bound public school students (Reading 491, Writing 480, Math 503) √ High school students are “college ready”: ACT, the college admis-
sions testing company reported significant differences in the assessment of the percentage of students deemed to be ready for college coursework. √ Graduation from college: A study by the Council for American Private Education (CAPE) found that almost twice as many Catholic high school graduates likely to attain their Bachelor Degree when compared to their public school counterparts.

Experience the difference Catholic High Schools of Long Island More than 11,000 young people discover learning and faith in the 10 Catholic high schools of Long Island. From southwestern Nassau County to the East End, these high schools reflect the tradition, commitment, and family spirit of their communities. Three are owned and operated by the Diocese of Rockville Centre, two grew from local parishes, and five are the apostolates of religious orders. Each has its own identity — all are defined by academic excellence on a foundation rooted in faith. Classroom success Dedication to success in the classroom, however, is the hallmark that sets Catholic schools apart: 99 percent of graduates from these schools continue their education at college, and last year, they earned more than $355 million in college scholarships and grants. The religious and lay faculties of Long Island’s Catholic high schools build upon history and tradition to deliver a contemporary education to their students. At St. Mary’s High School in Manhasset, for instance, students learn on iPads for a dynamic, interactive program of studies. Sacred Heart Academy in Hempstead, an all-girls school of the Sisters of St. Joseph, science education is complemented by participation in local and national science fairs, and partnerships with Hofstra University. Kellenberg Memorial High School’s Robotics Club brings those disciplines together from design to creation in a collaborative setting.
men of Chaminade High School in Mineola regularly perform service projects in the community. A host of extracurricular activities and interscholastic sports at each school further develop friendship, faith, and understanding. The goal of each Catholic high school is as sacred as it is simple — to provide young people with an education that challenges,
inspires, and prepares students to lead successful lives at work, at home, and in the community. The Catholic High Schools Entrance Exam is used for admission to these schools in the 9th grade.

Involved alumni Alumni of Catholic high schools remain close to the mission of their alma maters. Years after graduating, you’ll see alumni return regularly for various events. Oyster Bay’s St. Dominic High School, for example, welcomes college-age alumni back every winter for a convivial luncheon. What keeps so many graduates connected to their Catholic high schools is the well-rounded, values-centered environment to form the complete person. It’s reinforced by daily Mass and food drives at Holy Trinity Diocesan High School in Hicksville. Young

learning for their child.” The added positive, she said, is that the students can see their classmates and interact with them even though they’re not in school. “Part of teaching is coming to terms with altering styles,” Breslauer said, noting that when teaching her “friends” math manipulatives, using the physical objects that help students understand mathematical concept, students in the classroom have access to the typical blocks and cubes. “Not everyone has access to those objects,” she said, “so we let [remote students] make their own or use different objects. It’s fun to do.” “As a teacher, the workload is more intense,” Marisa Dulisse said of teaching on virtual platforms. Dulisse has taught for 21 years, and has been at LWA since 2019, where she teaches science, technology, engineering, art and math, or STEAM, classes to kindergartners and fourth- and fifth-graders through high school seniors. Dulisse said that the most time-consuming part of remote teaching is making sure that remote students have the materials to take part in art and science projects, and creating slide presentations. The upside, she said, is that through Google Classroom, her STEAM students, including several of the 15 students across China, can share the work, and she can grade it, quickly. “Students prefer to be in the building,” Dulisse said, “but the Google Classroom platform

Jacob Hersko after the 2020 Miami Marathon, in which, when his mother wasn’t pushing him in a race stroller, he ran. ing with the feeding tube on his back — but that hasn’t stopped him from making supportive friends. Six of his friends are going to Miami to race, and have been training on the Atlantic Beach boardwalk to push Jacob in a racing stroller. Team Jacob will gather in Miami with Team Lifeline members, many of whom are recovered patients, family members of sick children and those running in memory of kids who have lost their battles with illness. “Those who join our team are not simply united in the personal goal of crossing the finish line or crossing this off their bucket list,” Team Lifeline Director Moshe Turk said. “They are a special caliber of people, connected by a sense of dedication and determination to use this experience to help others.” Rabbi Simcha Scholar, CEO of Chai Lifeline, saluted the runners and said he takes great pride in the community that comes together in support of Chai Lifeline families. “Each year we are more and more encouraged by how many choose to come out and train for these physically challenging events,” Scholar said. “Literally every step these athletes will be taking is helping a sick child and family, and that is an incredible thing to witness and support.” Chai Lifeline provides children and families with programs and services including counseling, case management, insurance and medical advocacy, financial assistance, meals, transportation to medical appointments, retreats, crisis interventions, and the summer camps, Camp Simcha, Camp Simcha Special and Camp Simcha Without Borders. All of its services are free of charge. To learn more, go to www.chailifeline.org.

young patients and their families who are coping with the challenges of lifelong, life-threatening illnesses. Jacob continues to face health challenges such as malabsor ption, dif ficulty digesting the nutrients in food, which leads to malnutrition. Chai Lifeline has indeed been a lifeline for the Herskos: Its volunteers have cared for Jacob to give Rachel and her husband, Geoff, some downtime. Jacob has a 14-year-old sister, Olivia, and a 6-year-old brother, Ethan. The organization also makes sure the family has a hot meal available at home after spending a day in the hospital, helps the Herskos connect with specialists and facilitates medical appointments. Three years ago, Jacob star ted attending Camp Simcha Special, a medically supervised overnight camp in the Catskill Mountains for children with chronic illnesses, genetic disorders or physical disabilities run by Chai Lifeline. Around that time, Rachel learned that people from across the country band together to take part in the Miami Marathon for Chai Lifeline, calling themselves Team Lifeline. The team of runners — 420 strong this year — raises money for children with lifethreatening or lifelong illness. Jacob and Rachel took part in their first half marathons in Miami as part of Team Lifeline in 2019 and in 2020. This year, to give back to Chai Lifeline after all the organization has done for Jacob, the Herskos will participate with Team Lifeline as a subgroup of 25 called Team Jacob, composed of immediate and extended family members, Rachel’s and Jacob’s friends and Jacob’s HAFTR Middle School sixth grade teacher, Rabbi Chaim Siff. “It’s really incredible to just feel the love and support from a community,” Rachel said. “From friends, from teachers — I mean, it’s very special for us, and I really can’t imagine doing it without them at this point. We’re very blessed.” Team Jacob started fundraising last September, and collected nearly $9,000 in its first two weeks. Jacob and his friends helped out, raising money through bake sales for the Jewish holidays at HAFTR. There were also customized Team Jacob yar mulkes for sale. “When some of my students asked if I wanted to contribute to their fundraiser, I was happy to,” Siff said. “When I found out it was to raise money in honor of their friend, my wonderful student, and Chai Lifeline, I knew I wanted to take part in a bigger way.” Team Jacob has now raised nearly $150,000. “The boys really ran the show,” Rachel said. Because of his condition, Jacob is different than his classmates — start-

According to a new poll from Mount Sinai South Nassau in Oceanside, more than 80 percent of metropolitan area residents say government should be doing more to make Covid-19 testing readily available to the public. The hospital’s latest “Truth in Medicine Poll,” released Jan . 20 illustrated people’s frustrations with both the federal and state governments’ testing systems. Fifty-seven percent of respondents hold the federal government accountable for lack of available testing, with 15 percent blaming state government. Polling firm LJR Custom Strategies, based out of Washington, D.C. and New Orleans, called 600 residents in New York City and Long Island on landlines and cell phones. The poll was conducted from Jan. 4 to 9, before the federal government made free test kits available for every household in the country. “We still have more work to do to educate why people should receive a booster vaccine and to get their children vaccinated,” said Dr. Aaron Glatt, MSSN’s chairman of medicine and chief of infectious diseases. “Vaccination is the way out of this pandemic.”

to your identity. By identity, I mean how you view yourself and expect others to view you. Sandra’s identity is very connected to “doing the right thing and being a caring, concerned parent.” So when Sandra asked her daughter about whether she responded to the invite, in her mind she was just being a caring mom to her grown daughter. Lori interpreted the interaction differently. Lori’s identity is very inda connected to being viewed as “a competent adult who can handle things on her own.” Her buttons were pushed when she believed her mother was attacking her competency. Thus, what might have been an innocuous question to another was perceived by Lori as an insult. Sandra’s angst was triggered, not only because Lori was being rude to her but also because she, the loving
mother who had devoted the better part of her life to raising her daughter, was now being told to “butt out.” This comment triggered an uncontrollable surge of anxiety. Butt out of her daughter’s life? Her daughter was her life! Her life would have no meaning if her daughter were not part of it. Wow! How easy a simple comment can tur n into an anguished assault. So what’s a person to do? Here are two suggesapadin t i o n s : 1 . K n o w yo u r own sensitivities. Recognize in advance what can provoke an instant insult for you. Is it an attack on your capability? Your importance in the family? Your worth in the outside world? Once you know your vulnerability, you can strengthen your core self so that you’re not thrown off balance if you hear a derogatory comment.

2. Recognize what comments you make that might be hurtful to another. Now it’s real easy to say, well, the other person shouldn’t react so quickly or defensively. Or they shouldn’t be so sensitive. Or they should know I don’t mean any harm. But what if she is sensitive? Just like you’re sensitive in other areas? Even if you didn’t intend to denigrate, the other person may still feel denigrated. Even simple repartees can be upsetting if they stir up painful connotations. So, hear the other person out if they’re upset about what you said. And try, in the future, to alter your words so that they’re not experienced as demeaning, denigrating, or disparaging. A little mental rehearsal is a great protector against an ongoing war of words. ©2022 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author. Contact her at LSapadin@DrSapadin.com.

What’s wrong with my daughter? All I did was asked if she had answered a wedding invite. The next thing I know she’s rolling her eyes, telling me with dripping sarcasm, “What do you think I’m an idiot?” “What did I do wrong? Why do I have to watch what I say to her all the time?” Sandra was obviously agitated. “Yes,” she answered Lori, “You are an idiot for talking to your mother that way. What’s the matter with you?” Lori lashed back. “I’m 25 years old. Don’t talk to me like that. Butt out! I’m perfectly capable of handling my own life, thank you.” I’m your mother. You remember that! Show some respect,” huffed Sandra as she exited, slamming the door behind her. What’s going on here? Why are mother and daughter so steamed up over an innocuous question? Why do many talks between people who care for each other deteriorate into hurtful attacks? Often the answer has something to do with pushing a button that’s tied

However, such tax liens shall have priority over the County’s Differential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the interest and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased. The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or may
become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a tax lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser’s rights with respect to the lien(s) and the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act(FIRREA),12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et.seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(FDIC) receivership. The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premises herein listed. The Nassau County Treasurer reserves the right to intervene in any bankruptcy case/litigation where the property affected by the tax liens sold by the Treasurer is part of the bankruptcy estate. However, it is the sole responsibility of all tax lien purchasers to protect their legal interests in any bankruptcy case affecting their purchased tax lien, including but not limited to the filing of a proof of claim on their behalf, covering their investment in said tax lien. The Nassau County Treasurer and Nassau County and its agencies, assumes no responsibility for any legal representation of any tax lien purchaser in any legal proceeding including but not limited to a bankruptcy case where the purchased tax lien is at risk. The rate of interest and penalty at which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Treasurer ten per cent of the amount for which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety per cent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety per cent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Treasurer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all amounts deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limited to the ten per cent theretofore paid by him shall, without further notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the
agreement to purchase shall be of no further effect. Time is of the essence in this sale. This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of the sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale. Furthermore, as to the bidding, 1. The bidder(s) agree that they will not work with any other bidder(s) to increase, maintain or stabilize interest rates or collaborate with any other bidder(s) to gain an unfair competitive advantage in the random number generator in the event of a tie bid(s) on a tax certificate. Bidder(s) further agree not to employ any bidding strategy designed to create an unfair competitive advantage in the tiebreaking process in the upcoming tax sale nor work with any other bidder(s) to engage in any bidding strategy that will result in a rotational award of tax certificates. 2. The tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) bid, will be arrived at independently and without direct or indirect consultation, communication or agreement with any other bidder and that the tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) to be bid, have not been disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder, and will not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder prior to the close of bidding. No attempt has been made or will be made to, directly or indirectly, induce any other bidder to refrain from bidding on any tax certificate, to submit complementary bids, or to submit bids at specific interest rates. 3. The bids to be placed by the Bidder will be made in good faith and not pursuant to any direct or indirect, agreement or discussion with, or inducement from, any other bidder to submit a complementary or other noncompetitive bid. 4. If it is determined that the bidder(s) have violated any of these bid requirements then their bid shall be voided and if they were the successful bidder the lien and any deposits made in connection with said bid shall be forfeited.

Staying safe in strong winds
January 27, 2022 — NASSAU HERALD
Grand Colonial on Magnificent Property
G
Q. We are thinking about how to make our house safer from high winds. It’s old and creaks when we get wind gusts. I looked online at safe rooms, and they’re a lot of work and cost. Is there a cheaper way to make a room — at least one room — safe to go to if we have a tornado, and can we make our house less creaky when windstorms blow?
racious center hall colonial featuring 6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths in the tree street area of Woodmere. This well maintained home has a living room with fireplace, formal dining room, family room and spacious granite/wood kosher eat in kitchen. There are hardwood floors through-out and crown moldings throughout and a full basement. It has over 1/4 acre park-like property plus a 2 car detached garage .Convenient location to shops, LIRR and houses of worship. SD#15.

A. My childhood was spent between elementary school in Orlando, Fla., where we regularly had hurricane days off from school, and then middle and high school in Toledo, Ohio, where a tornado actually hit our home when I was 12. Forty-three people were killed in that July 4th storm, while our family of six huddled in the southwest corner of onte eeper our basement, the place we ran to every time the alarms sounded. Getting to a basement at the closest point to the direction the wind is coming from allows the house to blow over and away from you. We were lucky to live in an area where it was understood that you had to have a basement. While I was producing and directing a documentary aptly titled “Hell or High Water” in 2013, I interviewed several survivors and officials in Moore, Okla., the scene of the highest winds ever recorded in a tornado in the U.S. The homeowners I spoke with described how there was no time to run, and they had no basements. At their building department, I met with the commissioner, who explained that the soil there is red clay, and so expansive when it’s wet that it would push basement walls inward. I told him I didn’t buy that excuse, because there are ways to buffer expansive soil with loose gravel in a cage-like perimeter that improves drainage around the whole foundation in addition to allowing for basement foundations. I also pointed out that the brand new homes still under construction across the road from the neighborhood where the tornado touched down had no reinforcement attaching the roof to the walls or the walls to the foundation. They were also using particleboard instead of stronger plywood, especially to reinforce outside corners. The commissioner looked at me sheepishly and said that most people there couldn’t afford it. I noted that eight third-graders had just died outside their classroom. Was the lack of code-required connectors really worth it? I was elated that since we spoke on camera, with their permission to film, I might have had something to do with the announcement, in 2014 that Moore now led the nation as the first building department to require specific tornado-proofing methods, including the steel frame connectors for openings and wall and roof connections I mentioned. If you can’t get to a low, reinforced room below ground level, the best thing to do is strengthen an area next to the masonry chimney. More on safe rooms in the next column. Stay tuned.

opINIoNS
s a former state official, I get many questions from readers, clients and friends about our political leaders. Lately, the most frequent one is, what do I think of Gov. Kathy Hochul? The short answer is I think she’s great, but there’s more to it, based on the fact that I’ve been following state politics for almost 66 years. Governors come and go, and many of them attract little or no attention. I have seen a lot of governors, from afar and up close. My first sighting was in 1959, when JERRY W. Averell Harriman attended a KREMER Democratic cocktail party in Lido Beach. While finishing law school, I was working as a part-time reporter for a weekly newspaper, and met Governor Harriman for a brief interview. He was a tall, patrician figure who held many government posts before becoming the state’s 48th governor, but he attracted little attention from the public. Nelson Rockefeller succeeded Harriman. Rockefeller was a man of many tal-
E
ents, and like Harriman, was the son of a billionaire. In his time he was a political rock star, and he brought a great deal of attention to the position. He built the Albany government complex, and spent your money like it was his. I met him frequently as a new state legislator and he had that rare quality known as gravitas. His successor, Malcolm Wilson, served for only a few months after Rockefeller resigned before losing to former Congressman Hugh Carey. Carey was a jovial and highly competent public servant who successfully took on many challenging projects, while occasionally battling with his own Democratic Legislature. His Irish charm made him well known around the state for two terms in office. Carey was succeeded by Mario Cuomo. Cuomo was one of the state’s most liberal governors, which often put him at odds with the Legislature. He was known for his brilliant oratory, and he turned down the chance to run for president as well as membership on the U.S. Supreme Court. When I was chair of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, we sometimes butted heads, but always stayed friends. Cuomo served three terms, but as is
S
the case with all long-tenured officials, the public eventually gets tired of you, and, seeking a fourth term, he lost to Republican George Pataki. Pataki never gained the notoriety of his predecessor, but he was known to be a hardworking official. During his time in office, he supervised the takeover of the Long Island Lighting Company and helped set up the Long Island Power Authority. Then, in the space of three years, New York had two new governors. In 2007, Eliot Spitzer came into office with a bold agenda, but personal issues drove him from power the following year, and Lt. Governor David Paterson succeeded him. A native Long Islander, Paterson was a bright, sharp-tongued elected official, but he failed to win his party’s nomination and he stepped aside for Andrew Cuomo. Unlike many of his predecessors, the younger Cuomo quickly became a wellknown figure. He attracted national attention last year, when the coronavirus pandemic gave him the opportunity to be a television star. Whether they are pro- or anti-Cuomo, fair-minded people will acknowledge that he became another
he has the support of the state’s power brokers bcause they like her style.
Robert Moses, completing major projects that no other governor would dare undertake. Last August, Cuomo resigned in disgrace and was succeeded by Hochul, his lieutenant governor and a seasoned western-New York political figure. She has swiftly embraced her new role as the state’s first woman governor. Her success to date is primarily due to the fact that she is experienced in handling people issues, both at a national and local level. She has attracted strong financial support from the state’s power brokers because they like her personal style. While few are counting, she has made over 75 appearances in downstate New York, and has displayed wit and charm while manifesting take-charge talents. Upstate New Yorkers are big supporters, because she acts and talks like one of them. There is no doubt in my mind, based on all the governors in my life, that she is the right person for the job at the right time. 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.
Greatest hits from this month’s read-a-thon
very book ever written is about the pandemic — at least that’s what I’m discovering after trying to escape the here and now through fiction. Honestly, I could read “Dick and Jane Go to School” and I would be thinking, not so fast, kids. Where are your masks? Everything we do, everything we read, every plan for the future is now viewed through the prism of the ongoing health crisis. But that’s OK. We always bring our own lives to the RANDI first page of a new KREISS book. Reading is a diversion, but alas, it is not an escape. I read four books this month, which I chose specifically because I hoped to get away from the grind of the daily news and from other books featuring pandemics, natural disasters, environmental catastrophes and family trauma. Ultimately, my choices did not offer escape from the moment, but they did offer comfort, and the knowledge that painful life challenges are part of the human condition.
Because my attention span is a casualty of pandemic anxiety, I selected relatively short books. I want to read Jonathan Franzen’s “Crossroads,” for example, but I’m not yet up for a nearly 600page read. My first choice was “Midnight in the Library,” by Matt Haig. A young woman decides to end her life, and winds up in a kind of supernatural middle space called the library, managed by a kindly old librarian who may or may not be her former teacher, or God. She has the chance, then, to choose other lives she might have lived, and is transported into those lives to try them out. Despite the serious theme, the writing is clever and entertaining. Naturally, it made me think about my own what-ifs. Over the past two pandemic years, who didn’t feel like clicking their ruby slippers and going back to a pre-Covid world? Who didn’t romanticize other unlived lives? I also read “Klara and the Sun,” by Kazuo Ishiguro. The story imagines a future in which parents can purchase artificial friend robots, or AF’s, for their kids. Children spend all their time indoors, learning on screens called
I
“oblongs.” They attend special classes to learn how to socialize with their friends because their lives are so solitary. I thought the robot story would be so removed from real life that it would offer distraction. However, the lives of the children in “Klara and the Sun” are prophetic of this exact time in history, when children are isolated and suffering from that isolation. Again, the novelist had his ear to the ground in a way no one could have predicted. His descriptions of a future dystopian society are prescient in many disturbing ways. None of these novels can offer a flying carpet out of our own predicaments. What they can do, and it’s worth the ride, is validate the richness of the human experience and offer hope. My third suggestion is “Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line,” by Deepa Anaparra. This story had the best chance of getting me out of my head and into the life of the 9-year-old Indian narrator who hopes to solve the mystery of disappearing children in his “basti,” or slum neighborhood. Strangely, the novel is buoyant and funny and ultimately hopeful, although it follows a tragic series of events. The joy was in the narrative “voice” of the
n ‘Klara and the Sun,’ the children’s lives are prophetic of this exact time in history.
young boy, whose observations of adult behavior are keen and funny. I enjoyed the immersion in the sensory kaleidoscope that is India. The story depicts, too, the contrast of the “hi-fi” rich people who live in the “hi-fi” buildings outside the slums. So, before long, I was thinking about how our own homegrown disparities in wealth alter the experience of living through a global pandemic. The last book I read this month was “Northern Spy,” by Flynn Berry, a thriller about the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the divisions within the population and the mistrust between the IRA and the Brits. Countrymen and women turned against one another. Families divided over politics. Governments abusing their power. Politicians lying to their constituents and choosing personal power over service to the voters. Sound familiar? The descriptions of scenery along the coast near Belfast are stunning. And the story is a page-turner. Of course, it also brought home the destabilizing political division in our own country. Perhaps we cannot read to escape. No matter. We read to know that others survive tragedies. We read for the comfort of knowing that we are not alone. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

N.Y. reaps benefits of federal infrastructure bill
s
peaking last Friday in Woodbury before the Long Island Association, Gov. Kathy Hochul devoted much of her speech, delivered with characteristically biting humor, to touting the array of projects now in the planning stages that were made possible by the Biden administration’s signature achievement to date, the $1 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The measure, passed late last year, will mean tens of billions of dollars for infrastructure improvement across New York state, including here on Long Island. For starters, Hochul said, New York will invest $1 billion in short order to fix potholes on our state thoroughfares. Potholes, she noted, cost New Yorkers an average of $635 a year in

against climate change. The wind farms will also mean hundreds, even thousands, of high-paying, high-tech jobs for Long Islanders. And New York is set to receive $175 million to build out a network of electric-vehicle charging stations across the state, reducing or eliminating gasoline costs for those with electric cars and helping to fight climate change. We could go on and on. The federal investment in New York transportation and electric systems will reap benefits for years, even decades, to come. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act tells us, in no uncertain terms, that good things happen when Democrats and Republicans work together. We, the people, expect — demand — more such examples of bipartisanship in Congress.

repairs. “I have a personal experience with every single pothole,” the governor remarked, half-jokingly. The infrastructure bill will also provide $32.8 billion to repair and restructure New York’s crumbling roads and bridges, including $103.4 million for Nassau County. New York will receive $9.8 billion to modernize public transportation systems, making them cleaner and more efficient. Long Island MacArthur Airport in Ronkonkoma, for example, will receive $40 million to improve and further develop terminals, improving the flight experience of many Long Islanders there. some $500 million will go to develop sustainable offshore wind farms in the Atlantic ocean, providing clean energy for New Yorkers for generations to come and helping to protect Earth
‘Uninformed’ is too strong a word To the Editor: Re Dr. Michael Ludwig’s letter to the editor, “Blakeman’s decision is ‘misguided’” (Jan. 13-19): Dr. Ludwig’s unhappiness with the way the race for Nassau County executive went last November is apparent, with name-calling. Two dozen “blue” cities have defied federal law over enforcement of immigration laws, so let’s not be naive. In his letter, Ludwig comes off like Hillary Clinton when she referred to conservatives as “deplorables.” “Uninformed” is a strong grade to apply to anyone who isn’t a liberal. I’m not disappointed by such daily attacks. People should, however, use their brains before they engage their mouths. We are Americans with some slightly different views. The ballot box is the field of honor. We should not defame one another. RoBERT F. CAsALE Glen Head
Time to fund maternal care To the Editor: I stand with Dr. Martine Hackett, of Birth Justice Warriors, a Hofstra University professor, and Dr. Tarika James, chief medical
officer of Long Island Federally Qualified Health Centers, to call for a major funding increase to address the nation’s maternal mortality crisis among Black women and eliminate racial bias in maternal care. Ahead of final negotiations for the fiscal year 2022 appropriations package, I am calling on House and senate Appropriations Committee leaders to include $7 million to fund evidence-based training programs to reduce implicit bias in maternal health and $25 million to establish a program that delivers integrated health care services to pregnant
women and new mothers that can reduce the disproportionate rate of maternal deaths among Black non-Hispanic women and adverse maternal health outcomes. The United states continues to have the highest rate of maternal mortality in the developed world, driven in large part by the high mortality rates among Black mothers. The overall maternal mortality rate in New York state is 10 percent higher than the national average. These risks have only grown over the past year, as Covid-19 presents additional risks for pregnant women and their babies.

efore I started working for the Heralds last year, a coworker raped me at a previous job. I didn’t immediately report it to police. I didn’t tell my family in Puerto Rico, or my then husband. I didn’t keep the torn dress or the photos of the bruises. With only 31 percent of rapes reported to police, according to the Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network, we need to empower rape victims to seek justice in a system that they believe is fair and equitable — and one in which they feel Cristina arroYo safe and supported. Under the current roDriGUeZ system, though, for every 1,000 sexual assaults that are reported, only 25 perpetrators will be incarcerated, according to RAINN. My story is not a 0.025 percent story. Six months after I was raped, I received a screenshot from a different coworker in which my rapist mentioned me by name, saying he hadn’t raped me, that it was consensual. He also mentioned two other women, as if listing membership in a club one out of five women join against their will. I reached out to the women. One answered. She said he had bought her
drinks, and she awoke the next morning, unable to remember the night before, to a text from him that read, “Thanks for sex, hope you remember.” That was when I decided to call the police. Late one night, four male officers came to my home to write a report. I told them about the man who raped me and the other woman, that he had admitted two weeks after the incident that he raped me, and that I suspected he might have done the same to others, based on this woman’s report and the text he sent her. The police dismissed my rape allegation as “sex,” asking, When did he have sex with you? Did anybody else witness you having sex? Had you had sex before with him? Finally, they offered me a counseling services number. A few weeks later, I met with a specialcrimes detective for three interviews. I shared texts and named witnesses to the crime. The detective tried to contact my rapist but could not. I was offered counseling services pamphlets. Not only did I relieve the trauma, but I also had to endure victim blaming, with police saying, “Maybe you agreed, but you don’t remember?” “Are you sure you weren’t in a relationship with him?” “You both made bad decisions that night.” “You should talk to someone — RAINN offers

great counseling services.” The detective interviewed witnesses who had told me they saw what happened, but no one would admit to authorities that they had seen anything. A year and half later, after I had quit my job because I didn’t want to run into my rapist, he posted on social media that he had exacted revenge on me, calling me a terrible person and himself a “genius.” I immediately went to the police. They said they could do nothing, because my rapist was never arrested and the harassment wasn’t chronic. I tried to get a restraining order but couldn’t, because he wasn’t related to me or my live-in boyfriend. Police said I should’ve reported the rape when it happened, and again referred me to counseling. Now my rapist still works in the same place. I walk with my keys between my fingers toward my car, and check the back seat. I pretend to be on my phone when I walk alone at night, having 911 pre-dialed. And I keep an aluminum bat nearby at home. For rape victims, no amount of therapy offers the healing that justice can. Our justice system and social institutions are fraught, however, with puritanical misbeliefs about female sexuality — the woman is almost always to blame — and a history

of categorizing women as property, both of which fuel rape. New York made some progress in 2020 when the Democratically controlled State Senate passed a bill to prohibit a rape suspect from using an alleged victim’s intoxication as a defense in court. But the measure failed to pass the Assembly, also controlled by Democrats, signaling to women that our Legislature, dominated by men, cannot protect us. Want to hold rapists accountable? Stop asking their victims why they waited to report. Instead, call out men when they objectify women; advocate for greater female representation in formal and informal organizations, especially in leadership; unionize for living wages and worklife balance; and vote for elected leaders that will support women’s autonomy. Victims cannot trust systems that fail them, at best, and retraumatize them, at worst. Once women gain a degree of financial and workplace autonomy and equitable systemic power, particularly in government, our institutions will change. Then, we hope, our criminal justice system will become a safe place for women to come forward. Cristina Arroyo Rodriguez is editor of the Baldwin Herald.

Framework by Christina Daly
Despite the high number of pregnancy and childbirth complications, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studies have found that two out of three of all reported deaths were preventable. I am also urging my congressional colleagues to continue funding for several maternal health priorities, including at least $30 million to support uniform data collection on individual maternal deaths, $15 million for the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health program, $5 million for the Maternal Mental Health Hotline and $10 million to train health care providers to screen, assess and provide specialized care to treat maternal mental health conditions. I support the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act of 2021, which includes my bill, the Moms Matter Act. And I support a host of bills to reduce racial disparities in maternal health, including the Maternal CARE Act, the MOMS Act and Sen. Cory Booker’s MOMMIES Act. I also co-led the TRICARE Coverage for Doula Support Act in 2020, which helped initiate a pilot program for TRICARE beneficiaries to receive coverage for doula fees in 2021.
