NCJW to present ‘The Barn’ Holocaust survivor’s tale recounted in documentary By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Roughly a decade ago, East Rockaway resident Pnina Knopf attended a National Council of Jewish Women health forum, and one of the speakers was Dr. Elana Kastner, an obstetrician and gynecologist with a practice in Valley Stream who is affiliated with NYU Winthrop Hospital

in Mineola. “I was so impressed with her presentation that I told her when my doctor retires I wanted to come see her,” Knopf, a past NCJW-Peninsula Section president and the Jewish Life Program chairwoman for the Lawrence-based organization, said of Kastner. Five years later, Knopf became a Kastner patient. In January 2018, Knopf took

part in the Marion & Aaron Gural JCC’s Martin Luther King Day of Service program. The program’s Kindness to a Victim of Discrimination event was a lunch with a Holocaust survivor, at which Knopf joined two Lawrence High School students and a survivor named Karl Schapiro. “I discovered Karl Schapiro is Elana Kastner’s father when all Continued on page 4

Hewlett High School juniors create COV-AID

March 4, 2021 — NASSAU HERALD

By MATTHEW FERREMI mferremi@liherald.com

With the coronavirus vaccine continuing to be rolled out in the United States, three juniors at Hewlett High School have begun an initiative that they hope will assist community members in booking vaccine appointments. Jesse Menashe, Jared Glassman and Benjamin Meringoff created what they are calling a community action project named COV-AID that aims to help people having difficulty making a Covid-19 vaccination appointment for themselves, a family member or a friend. The service is available to anyone in New York state who meets the eligibility requirements to receive the vaccine. The three students say they have all known each other since the second grade and said the pandemic inspired them to make a positive impact. “During Covid while we were sitting around quarantining, we were thinking that instead of sitting around doing nothing we can do something that would positively impact the community,” Glassman said. Glassman added that he was also inspired to help individuals get vaccine appointments after his grandfather had a tough bout with Covid-19 last spring. “He and my grandma recently were having trouble finding an appointment to get the

Whether it is for them

or a relative, the trio will then look online to search for open appointments throughout Long Island and New York City. “We started receiving emails from people to help them and their elderly relatives with appointments,” Menashe said. “All of us are checking constantly and we also call pharmacies to see if there are

any cancellations. We have gotten a few appointments so far.” Meringoff said that his day consists of focusing on school during the afternoon and then shifting his focus to COV-AID during the evening. “If someone reaches out to us via email, we’ll reach back out with some questions regarding information we would need to book the appointment,” he said. “I’ve noticed when trying to book an appointment online, it’s all by luck and you have to be quick.” Menashe said he is into technology and noted how a lot of people who are currently eligible for the vaccine are not “tech savvy.” “My parents have always told me that I can use my technology skills to help out the community,” he said. “A lot of the people reaching out to us are over 80 and they may not be an expert when it comes to using the computer.” The satisfaction of helping others is what continues to inspire Meringoff even during the pandemic. “I’m in choral at the school and every year we would go to the nursing home and sing,” he said. “You get a good feeling out of doing that. There’s a lot of things you can’t do right now because of Covid so if there’s a chance to help people and make them feel better, we should all jump at that.” To contact COV-AID use the email address, covidhewlett2021@gmail.com.

Wanting small business to survive and thrive jbessen@liherald.com

Two organizations totaling more than 200 years of existence have partnered to offer small businesses in the Five Towns and surrounding communities an interest-free, no-fee loan up to $50,000. Cedarhurst-based Community Chest South Shore, which was established in 1936, and the 129-year-old Hebrew Free Loan Society headquartered in Manhattan, are collaborating on a $1 million loan program that aims to keep existing small businesses operating and could help new businesses with a strong business plan. Community Chest is a nonprofit umbrella organization with a mission to assist charitable institutions and organizations such as the Marion & Aaron Gural JCC, the Five Towns Community Center and the Five Towns Early Childhood Center, and has helped individuals and families. “Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Community Chest has been actively involved in supporting and working with our social service organization partners to help meet the needs of families and individuals facing economic challenges brought on by the crisis,” said Steve Liebman, Chest’s treasurer. “We decided to roll out a micro-loan program to assist qualifying local small businesses.” By providing access to affordable credit through interest-free loans, the Hebrew Free Loan Society has made a difference by enabling borrowers to start a business, pay for education and emergency expenses. The organization is a non-sectarian lender. A person does not have to be Jewish to apply or receive a loan. “It’s a fantastic way to make people aware of a community resource everyone might not know about though we have been around since 1892 and help those

who need business financing,” said Rabbi David Rosenn, the society’s president for the past six years. Adam Kaufman a Community Chest vice president and the group’s secretary, said that board member Michelle Schornstein noted that because of the resulting pandemic economic fallout, businesses were closing and asked if there way they could help. Chest had to amend its charter with the New York State Attorney General’s office to help for-profit businesses as its bylaws only allowed monetary donations to nonprofit organizations. “I have a client who is on the finance board of the Hebrew Free Loan Society that over the years have had incredible success making interest free loans to individuals to help with college, pay medical bills and a small business program,” said Kaufman, who is a lawyer with a practice in Woodmere. Instead of reinventing the wheel and creating a loan program, which Kaufman said is complicated, Community Chest partnered with the loan society. “This is an incredible opportunity to help a lot of people that are struggling with dignity to stay afloat and come out the other end thriving,” he said. Information will be made available on Community Chest South Shore’s website. Using media, social media, local business groups and word-of-mouth advertising the program will be rolled for an indefinite time. Kaufman said if it is successful they hope to repeat it. The loans are geared for low to moderate income businesses or a startup that has a business plan. Rosenn said the loans will depend on need. “If a business owner needs a $25,000 piece of equipment or money to do customer outreach, people can apply based on their stated business needs,” he said. The loan application is expected to be online in the near future. Go to https://communitychestss.org/.

Seniors and Holocaust survivors get Covid-19 vaccine By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Vehicles pulled into the Marion & Aaron Gural JCC Harrison-Kerr Family Campus and staff and volunteers and staff and student volunteers from the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway High School helped the 150 seniors, which included 60 Holocaust survivors, to receive a first dose of the PfizerBioNTech Covid-19 vaccination on Sunday. The Gural JCC in partnership with the UJA-Federation of New York and Northwell Health created a pop-up vaccination site for the seniors and survivors, and Northwell health care providers administered doses of the vaccine. The second dose will given in three weeks at the same site, inside the Temple of Lawrence building. “We all know how difficult it is to navigate the system if you don’t have technological ability to go online and you need people to help and take you to and from your appointments, said Eric Goldstein, the UJA’s chief executive officer, outside Temple Israel as the seniors and survivors got out of cars and were helped inside. “This is just so, so touching and meaningful for us, and to be able to see it in action is very special.” Accessing the information for sites and vaccine availability bedevils those

Goldstein said. “So, the beauty of this is that we are working with our local partners on the ground who know this population because they deal with it year in and year out, they know who needs assistance. They gave us names, we’re putting together the lists and we’re working with Northwell and other medical providers to get us the dosages, so you can have vaccine popup sites like this across our community to

start doing this in a broad way.” Gural JCC CEO Aaron Rosenfeld called it “just a tremendously wonderful day for our community,” crediting the UJA and Northwell for the assist in making the pop-up site a reality. “We spend our days helping to support and enhance the community, and there is nothing that feels better than being able to save lives, which is what we are doing today, really, we are saving lives,” he said.

Out of the 150 people inoculated, the most anticipated arrival was of Woodmere residents Bonnie and Jack Rybsztajn, Holocaust survivors, who celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary in February. “I personally, on behalf of my wife and myself and my family, I’m thankful for Hashem (God) for keeping me [strong],” he said as he was helped from his car by Gural JCC Associate Executive Director Cathy Byrne and State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a Democrat who represents the Five Towns. Kaminsky noted the UJA’s Holocaust survivor program, which he said is “among their most meaningful.” “I think sometimes people forget that we have neighbors who are Holocaust survivors, many of whom who live at or below the poverty line, and they have incredible lives of perseverance and struggle and also happiness, and making sure that there is a community that serves them and that is them for them is really important,” he said. The pandemic began just before Passover last year and this year, the seniors and survivors, remaining careful could attend family or community Seders. “There is elation,” Goldstein said, “people have been living shut-in because they are fearful of going out. This is a passport to resuming their life.”

Coincidences, connections bring lives together continued from front page four of us shared [stories] about our families,” Knopf said. “Karl said he [had] a daughter, Elana. I said, ‘Is her last name Kastner?’ and he and I were both stunned when I said that she is my doctor.” At a doctor’s appointment that summer, Knopf told Kastner that she had met her father, and Kastner told Knopf that her daughter, Rachel, was working on a documentary on Schapiro, her grandfather. At an appointment the following year, Kastner told Knopf that Rachel’s film, called “The Barn,” was nearly finished. Last October, Knopf contacted Rachel. “I watched the documentary and started an email correspondence with Rachel, which led to her agreeing to be our presenter at the NCJW-Peninsula Section’s Jewish Life Program on March 16, Knopf said. Rachel Kastner, 24, a North Woodmere native who lives in Tel Aviv, Israel, had been part of a similar coincidence as a high school senior at the Ramaz School in Manhattan. The school was planning its annual senior class trip to Poland to learn about the Holocaust and World War II. Rachel’s parents asked school officials if they could arrange for students to meet a “righteous gentile,” a non-Jew who had risked his or her life to save Jews during the Holocaust. The school, as was its custom, had already done so. “It was a coincidence that Ramaz had been meeting with Paulina Plaksej for over a decade on this trip — the very same woman who saved my grandfather and his parents,” Rachel wrote in an email. “I had the privilege to meet her and share in that moment with my classmates and friends. It was a very moving experience.” Three of her grandparents were Holocaust survivors, and Rachel has known her grandfather’s story since she was young. In 1943, Schapiro, then age 9, his parents and 15 other Jews hid in an underground bunker inside a barn in Kalusz, Poland, now part of Ukraine, for two years. After being liberated, the Schapiros spent time in displaced-person camps in Germany before coming to the U.S. in 1948.

They found the bunker, and paid a farmer to hide my grandfather and his parents. Plaksej, then 16, specifically traveled between towns, inconspicuously, to bring food, medicine, clothing or anything else they needed.” Rachel was so moved by her high school experience that she wanted to return to record Paulina’s story, and Plaksej appears in the documentary. She died in 2018, at 93. While attending the Ramaz School, Rachel had also met Nancy Spielberg, one of the director Steven Spielberg’s three sisters, at an American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference, at which Rachel watched Nancy’s 2014 documentary “Above and Beyond.” “[I] was incredibly inspired by her and her work,” Rachel continued in her

email. “I excitedly approached her afterwards with some questions about the film, [and] told her I intended on making documentaries and films in the future.” Nancy gave Rachel a business card, and roughly 10 years later, when she was working on “The Barn,” Rachel called her for advice on making a documentary. Her Ramaz connections led her to Matthew Hiltzik, who produced “Paper Clips,” a 2014 movie that focused on teaching young non-Jews about the Holocaust. Hiltzik brought on director Phil Berger to complete “The Barn.” “In terms of these so-called coincidences — truthfully these opportunities are always there if we only open up our eyes to them,” Elana Kastner said. “I choose not to see these things as coincidences. We all have the ability to perceive how interconnected our lives are, perhaps even to feel a divine presence in our lives as we recognize and appreciate these ‘coincidences.’”

Bringing local sports home every week

Hewlett High School wrestlers pin down success By TONY BELLISSIMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

Soon after receiving the unexpected news New York State approved high-risk sports, including wrestling, to begin Feb. 1, Nassau County wrestling coaches sprung into action and devised a plan to align conferences based on ability rankings as opposed to school size. Eleven teams formed Conference I, led by defending county champion MacArthur, including Hewlett. Bulldogs coach Stephen Jones liked the idea of extreme competition for each of the nine dual meets. “It’s like an all-star division,” Jones said. “It’s a short season, so why not go up against the very best every day? The kids were pumped. They went from 0 to 100 in terms of excitement. They were upset about the likelihood of not having a season and the news really pumped them up.” Jones said a lack of practice time didn’t allow for as much teaching as usual, but the Bulldogs still took care of business in most cases. They were ranked as high as fifth in the county after defeating Wantagh, Freeport, Uniondale and MacArthur. Hewlett returned four All-County wrestlers, including senior Fletcher Goodman and sophomore Ariel Waldman. Goodman is vastly improved, Jones said, after finishing sixth in Nassau Division I at 160 pounds. “Fletcher is undefeated and dominating,” said Jones, who noted Goodman avenged two defeats to Freeport’s Jason Figueroa last winter with a 13-0 major decision at 172

runner-up to MacArthur’s Matthew Huggard at 106. “Ariel just gets better every day and has a ton of potential,” Jones said. “He peaked at the perfect time last season and his confidence continues to grow.” Junior Jacob Maiorano, third in the county at 220, picked up where he left off and secured some impressive victories in the early going, including against MacArthur. “Jacob is strong on his feet and explosive,” Jones noted. Kirk Smith earned All-County as an eighth-grader by placing sixth at 99 and is just scratching the surface of his talents. He’s competed as high as 118 as a freshman. “He’s tough as nails,” Jones said. “He’ll grind out points and wear opponents down.” Senior Mike Iannico, a captain along with Goodman, started strong at 132/138 and brings a non-stop motor. His persistence came in handy Feb. 17 when he rallied to defeat Plainedge’s AJ Deutsh, 8-6. Juniors Jonathan Zenny and Josh Gendlin are returning county tournament qualifiers and leading the middle weights at 152 and 160 pounds, respectively. Zenny has pinned a few opponents and also won a hard-fought 3-2 battle over Freeport’s Pedrielin Collado. Gendlin won five of his first six bouts including a 5-2 decision over Wantagh’s Luke Janosko on Feb. 20. Hewlett’s 39-22 win over defending county champ MacArthur on Feb. 24 was its most satisfying, Jones said. Sophomore Ryan Goodman (172) came through with a clutch pin to help seal the outcome.

NCPD names first Black Rep. Rice calls on Cuomo woman as chief of support to resign over accusations By MATTHEW FERREMI

sbrinton@liherald.com

For the first time in Nassau Police Department history, a Black woman has been promoted to the position of chief of support. Lorna Atmore, a 25-year member of NCPD, was promoted to the chief of support position on Feb. 25. She succeeds Chief Ronald Walsh, who recently left to serve as Long Beach police commissioner. Atmore is now commander of the Support Division, one of the department’s largest units that includes the 911 center, information technology and the upcoming police body camera program. With the new position, Atmore is fifth in line for command of the department. NCPD Commissioner Patrick Ryder tweeted about Atmore’s historic promotion on Feb. 25. “Today a piece of history was made in the Nassau County Police Department,” Ryder wrote. “Twostar Chief Lorna Atmore was promoted to three-star chief of support.

Black leaders talk future at Inside LI webinar agarcia@liherald.com

In celebration of Black History Month, Black leaders on Long Island gathered for the latest webinar of Herald Inside LI on Feb. 25.

Throughout the pandemic, healthcare workers, first responders, grocery and pharmacy personnel, and so many others, have been dedicated to supporting and assisting our community. They are true heroes who deserve our respect, praise and recognition. As many remain on the front lines in 2021, we invite you to nominate a Hometown Hero to be featured in Herald newspaper editions throughout the year.

Andrews helped develop a young membership program for the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce in which young people can meet with business owners and receive free training. “We didn’t want young people sitting outside on an opportunity like this,” Andrews said. “We have to be at the table; we have to be involved. When we have a seat at the table, we can bring something away. We can’t sit back on these things. . . We have to be examples.” “You can’t buy wisdom,” Lloyd said, referring to the need for mentorship on Long Island. Minority Millennials helps invigorate young members’ business dreams by allowing them to share the personal stories behind their business ideas. “We, as a people, need to understand where that information is flowing and not just confine ourselves to what we like or what’s comfortable for us,” Cargill said. “Step outside the box and stay curious, because as you stay curious, that’s where you’ll find your niche and your next big idea.” This episode was sponsored by McBride Consulting & Business Development Group and the Rockville Centre Coalition for Youth.

St. John’s, state at odds over service needs roughly 1,700. “We are deeply saddened and concerned by the New York State Department of Health’s push to significantly cut health care services and eliminate over 1,000 jobs,” the Right Rev. Lawrence Provenzano, chairman of the hospital’s board of directors, said in a statement. “The Department of Health is abandoning any consideration of the documented community health needs of this overwhelming underserved population.” The Queens Zip code 11691, which falls within the hospital’s area of care, has the second-highest Covid-19 death toll in New York City, according to the City Department of Health. According to St. John’s records, the state Department of Health contacted the hospital about conducting a financial sustainability assessment in 2018, with the goal of reducing state funding for the facility. A year later, the department hired ToneyKorf Partners, a consulting firm, to analyze the hospital’s finances. As a result, St. John’s instituted a $24 million cost savings plan that included laying off management staff early last year, just before the coronavirus pandemic hit. During ToneyKorf ’s analysis, hospital officials told the Health Department that more cuts in services and staff could not be made, and that a community-healthneeds assessment should be conducted to

St. John’S EpiScopal Hospital officials say that the state Department of Health is pressuring them to cut services and staff. bolster the state’s knowledge of the health care needs of the communities St. John’s serves. A consulting firm did the assessment, and concluded that those communities needed more access to health care, not less. “Throughout the years, St. John’s Episcopal Hospital has been committed to working with the New York State Department of Health to ensure the availability of health care services to the residents of the Rockaways and surrounding communities,” Provenzano stated. “It was in that spirit that we put our full effort into working with the Department of Health to provide our communities with the health care

services that are clearly necessary.” Sources said that the Health Department mandated that the facility use ToneyKorf ’s services, and gave the firm more time and more money. On April 29, 2020, ToneyKorf released the results of an analytical forecast of the impact of the pandemic on community and urban safetynet hospitals. “The forecast indicates that only immediate and aggressive actions, coupled with additional external funding, can prevent a complete financial crisis for many health care organizations,” a news release stated. In response to the Herald’s questions concerning the options offered St. John’s,

Health Department spokeswoman Erin Silk stated in an email that the state’s operating budget for the hospital has increased by 50 percent since 2019 and is now $60 million per year. Silk added that the state’s funding for all safety-net hospitals has roughly doubled since 2019, and is anticipated to be more than $1 billion in the next fiscal year. “The Department of Health has been working with the management of St. John’s Episcopal for several years in an effort to achieve improved health outcomes and access in the Far Rockaways,” Silk said. “In 2019, St. John’s Episcopal entered into an agreement with Mount Sinai South Nassau to jointly explore how they could achieve this objective. As part of that process, Mount Sinai selected and hired a healthcare advisory firm called ToneyKorf Partners to help develop strategic options. The department looks forward to working with the leadership of St. John’s Episcopal in reviewing these options, among others, and is continuing to provide substantial operating support to St. John’s Episcopal.” “We ask Governor Cuomo to take immediate action to stop his health department from going through with any of the plans of decreasing funding and health care services,” Provenzano said.

he Covid pandemic has had a huge impact on the lives of millions of people across the globe as well as businesses, especially small businesses such as mine. Insurance agents like me rely on face-to-face communication, providing a personal connection to our customers. During the pandemic, we find ourselves restricted, given the concern of getting or giving this dreaded virus. We have been forced to come up with creative ways to engage with our clients and with our co-workers. Surprisingly, we have found constructive and positive ways to advance with all aspects of our work, including our personal lives. I now realize that much of what we do can be done from home, thanks to technology. While we still miss that personal contact,

we know that the priority right now is safety. This time has also made us more mindful of time spent with family. Being forced to stay home, we realize that we really can create that work/life balance that we have all been seeking and the importance of it. I have been blessed with amazing neighbors who, through the support that we share with one another, give us the opportunity to focus on our families, our friendships, our work and our community. While this year has taken a toll on all of us for many different reasons, the one most significant value it has taught me is the strength of connections and helping those who we can, as we are all in this together.

ike everybody else, we had to suddenly go into full shutdown mode when the coronavirus hit and the lockdown began. We worked quickly to contact all patients, especially those who had appointments scheduled or hearing aids waiting for them. Then, like everyone else, we had to adapt. Anything urgent, we began doing over video chat, and we created a no-contact drop-off and pickup service for anyone who needed anything addressed, cleaned or repaired. We started sending out a weekly email to update our customers, and since those with hearing loss have issues talking over the phone, we gave them tips on how to keep in contact with their friends and families. We also sent our customers complimentary kits with cleaning supplies, batteries and other items.

In mid-May we reopened, but maintained some of the things we started doing at the height of the pandemic, including video chats. We also made sure everyone in our office was fully equipped with personal protective equipment. People with hearing loss rely on visual cues like reading people’s lips; however, with everyone wearing masks, it creates an issue for them because they lose that capability. We’ve had to make changes to assist that problem. Hearing is essential. It's a medical need, and it affects people socially, emotionally and physically, especially during a time when a pandemic makes people feel isolated. If people do notice they are having hearing loss, they should take it seriously and know that we offer a safe environment and are taking every precaution.

t first, the pandemic affected us a lot. Technically, we were considered essential, so we were allowed to open, but I had my family to take care of, so I had to think about them first. I had to make a very hard decision, and I closed my business for two and a half months last year. I spent that time focusing on my book series for children, K.C. & Kayla’s Science Corner, which I started back in 2018. I’ve published four books so far, and they're all aimed at firstand second-graders. I really did believe in it, and I thought that it was something that kids would love. I think the part that I enjoyed the most was when I would go to the schools or the libraries and I would read to the kids.

When I reopened my business during the summer, I took up all the new safety measures. The way I do my business is very different from the big HVAC stores. I’m very big on community and customer experience, and that’s what sets us apart from every other business out there. It doesn’t matter if it’s a phone call, an email or a text.

he coronavirus pandemic represents a completely unprecedented circumstance. No event in recent history has affected us as profoundly and pervasively. Professionally, I have been affected as the president of the Franklin Square Chamber of Commerce as well as in my own real estate company, Lisa DP Real Estate Inc., in several ways. In the beginning of 2020, members didn't want to have meetings in our local food establishments, as was customary. Soon thereafter, the board participated in a few Zoom meetings, but I knew that something else was needed so that we could safely network in person. When I received a PPE kit for my business and one for the chamber, our event Networking in the Park was born. I then had well-attended meetings in Rath

Park in July, August, September, October and November, and this year I started holding our meetings at our local VFW hall. We now have 176 members, and everyone is so happy to see each other. As for my real estate company, I follow all CDC protocols at all of my showings and open houses. It’s been very busy. Prices are high, and there are bidding and selling wars. Nothing has defeated my spirit to survive and thrive. The true test of leadership is how well you function in a crisis, because anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm. I am so grateful for everything that I have.

he coronavirus changed everything, because people don’t come in as much as before. I guess I take it a little at a time, because I own this, and because I have to work out there to make money to survive. To keep this store going, I have to work elsewhere. It’s really hard, but I don’t want to close the store, so I try — I try hard. I run this place by myself as of right now. Basically it’s not really busy, so it’s not really a toll on me. Once in a while somebody comes in and I do it. People understand, like the landlord, because they used to come before. They knew I had people back then, but now they know how things are. I talk to people, I talk to them, you know the landlord, he understands I’m behind on the rent. He’s waiting because he sees there’s nothing going on anyway, because he sees.

And then the lights, I don’t know. It’s just unlike before. Like way before, if I didn’t pay they’d shut me off. Now they don’t. I guess they’re giving me breaks, but I still have to pay. In the future, I hope that everybody will be coming in, and walking out there, and not be afraid of anything, and, you know, coming in and out, and to spend time and spend money, and then we’ll get back to normal, because right now, nobody’s coming in.

The Hewlett Harbor village board has a new member as Gil Bruh was appointed at the Feb. 11 meeting to replace Jonathan Polakoff, who resigned from the board a few days earlier. Bruh, 38, has lived in the village for the past three years with his wife, Jennifer, and son Spencer, 3. Bruh is the founder and president of Modern Age Technology, an information technology provider. With 15 years in the technology field, he has spent the past decade on Wall Street specializing in financial technology, building connections to major derivative exchanges. “It is an honor to have been selected to serve as a trustee of Hewlett Harbor,” Bruh said in a statement. “As one who has watched this village government punch above its weight for years, I consider it a privilege to become more intimately involved in working with the mayor and my fellow trustees to enhance the quality

of life for our residents.” He has been involved in a variety of village initiatives in the past two years. In addition to serving as treasurer, he was a driving force behind the license plate reader program, and is now a member of the security committee. “Transparency and security are two issues that are critically important to the mayor and the board,” Bruh added. “I look forward to continuing to apply my professional expertise to enhancing our reputation for honesty and integrity in government and, and to shine a light on our village signature, ‘Hewlett Harbor: Quite Simply, A Great Place to Live.” Weiss said the work Bruh has done laid the groundwork for him to become a trustee. “For the past two years, Gil’s commitment to the village and his desire to work with the Board to prepare us for the decades to come, has distinguished him as most worthy of this appointment,” he said in a statement. “I join Len Oppenheimer, Tom Cohen, and Ken Kornblau in welcoming Gil to the board.”

March 4, 2021 — NASSAU HERALD

When frustrated, how do you behave? How do kids behave when they’re frustrated and angry? Little ones scream, cry, hit, bite, and throw whatever’s in their way. Older ones act more destructively – cursing, teasing, taunting, bullying, breaking stuff, slamming doors, punching, pulverizing, and pounding whatever or whoever is in their way. Anyone who is a parent knows this! When their kid can’t do, can’t go, can’t buy what they “need,” parents feel the full range of their kids’ frustrations. Bad behavior is certainly not confined to “bad kids.” In the era of Covid when frustrations abound and choices are checked, many kids act up. A cherubic face is no guarantee that its owner’s actions are angelic. And a smart brain is no guarantee that its owner will deal well with disappointments. Though teens are older and smarter, they’re typically too wrapped up in their wants to listen to their parents, to do what others expect, or even to care about their own safety. They feel entitled. They want what they want now. They’re uninterested in the big picture. But they’re still kids. We don’t give up on them. We continue to teach

them ways to calm themselves down and to cope constructively with frustration and disappointments. But what should we make of adults who, when frustrated, behave like kids or even toddlers? Who scream, cry, hit and throw things? Who name call? Who unfairly blame? Who intimidate? Who hurl cruel insults? Who insist that their viewpoint is the only one that’s right, the only one that matters? inda T h e s e a d u l t s h ave much to learn but nobody to teach them. No parent is imploring them to calm down. No adult is sending them to their room. No authority figure is punishing them for bad behavior. Unless, of course, their bad behavior gets so out of hand that the cops are called. Or a child, who has become “the parent to his parent,” plaintively cries out – “stop it!” It’s incumbent upon adults in our politically divided country to learn how to handle frustrations with at

Person to Person

Shot through and through I have a couple of friends who are big shots and several who fancy themselves hot shots. I can remember when cameras (not phones) took snap shots, and when NASA launched its first space shots and moon shots. The Olympics host the shot put, pool hustlers utilize the bank shot, golfers employ the chip shot, hockey players have their slapshot, penalty shot and shot on goal while basketball players beat everyone with their rim shot, jump shot, foul shot and hook shot. Movie stars aspire for their screenshot; photojournalists for a money shot, while cops rely on the mug shot while the bitter excel at the cheap shot. After being shot down, the rejected often resort to the parting shot, even as snipers (and comedians) take pot on shots. King David wielded the slingshot, while dark horse candidates (and even dark horses) count on winning by a long shot. Drinkers raise their shot glasses; carpoolers compete for “shotgun,” the unsure take a “shot in the dark,” and students of American history analyze the “Shot heard ‘round the world.” The threatened respond to “a shot across the bow,” amateurs hope they have a

least a modicum of maturity. To think before you act. To practice self-control. To zip your lip before you regret what you say. To postpone g r a t i f i c a t i o n . To b e respectful of others’ feelings and beliefs. In short, to behave constructively when frustrated. Some believe that if you haven’t learned these skills by your early adult years, it’s too late. Too old to learn, they claim. Simply not true. New skills can be learned and put apadin into practice at any age – if you’re motivated to do so. So, if your marriage is holding on by a string, if your parenting skills are wanting, if your reputation is tarnished, in part, because of how you behave when frustrated, it’s time to learn new skills. Begin by identifying what’s triggering your frustration. Perhaps you’re thinking, “it shouldn’t be this way; it’s all her fault; he shouldn’t have done that.” Then say out loud, “I’m frustrated! – It didn’t go the way I wanted it

shot at success, while the already successful are deemed by all to be a ”sure shot.” Until Covid-19 resulted in everything being shot to hell, the question often asked (at least by some) was: “Who shot Liberty Valance?” or “Who Shot J.R.? or “Who Shot Mr. Burns?” Now the conversation has shifted to flu shots, booster shot and… Covid shots. On everyone’s lips (and flowing through their veins) are names like Pfizer and Moderna that in the past would have shot past us unnoticed. Today, “shot” no longer conjures up images of the firing of a gun or cannon, or a hit, stroke or kick in sports. No, today “shot” describes one (or two) injections or jabs of vaccine. In 2021 a “shot in the arm” doesn’t just mean a sudden or positive effect; it literally oLdman means a shot in the arm of life enhancing and disease preventing medicine. To persevere, to endure and to move ahead, it used to be “take your best shot,” now it’s “get your best shot,” and in doing so we will be safe and well…which is life’s winningest shot of all.

Unreserved Judgment

to.” Now, here’s the critical step. Do whatever you can to calm yourself down. Take a deep breath. Take another one. Then think about what you can do now (if anything) to make things better. Avoid thinking about what should have been done. Focus on what you can control now, not on what went wrong. Of course, we all want things to go our way. Why not? But often, they won’t. So, instead of making yourself and everyone around you miserable, start acting like an adult. Behaving badly when you’re a kid is one thing. Behaving badly when you’re an adult is another matter – especially when your MO becomes a blueprint for how your own kids should act. ©2021 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author, specializes in helping people overcome procrastination and debilitating anxiety and fear.

Due to Covid-19, many schools have had to shut down all sports for the rest of the school year, but things might be changing for the better. A new rule approved in Nassau County allowed schools play winter sports. Lawrence Woodmere Academy were happy to announce that the boys’ basketball team started up again. Director of Athletics at LWA David O’Keeffe said: “We tried our best to bring some normality back to LWA, and having a basketball season was a huge step towards that goal. coach Brett Tawil and the players have worked so hard to get this season going ophia and follow all the safety guidelines. We are all thrilled to be back competing again. Even though it is a short season, seeing the Tigers play competitive basketball again is a huge accomplishment for everyone involved. The boys are currently 3-0.” During this past mid-winter recess the boys basketball team had their first game against the boys’ basketball team from Knox and won with a score of 62-58. Even though things seem to be getting back to normal with the basketball season, there are still changes that have to be made to make games and practices safe for everyone. To make practices Covidsafe, masks are mandatory at every practice, only six to eight players are allowed

on the court at all times, and players must stay six-feet apart. Before and after every single practice, all the boys are sanitized. The new Covid rules for games are very similar to the rules for practices. During games, masks must be worn at all times, players must be socially distanced when on the bench, and no players are allowed in the locker rooms. Even with all the new Covid rules, players are really grateful to have sports back and very enthusiastic about the basketball season. Senior Ian Geraghty said: “It felt amazing to be back on the court again with the team. We eSare are like a brotherhood and the court is our house. After having one scrimmage under our belt we were able to get our first win of the season in league competition against Knox. Each and every one of us executed our roles, hustled, and let our team play. I am grateful to be on the court again and will never take it for granted.” The startup of the basketball team is just the beginning. There are plans to start up other sports again, such as girls’ volleyball and others as things get back to normal, and hopefully the basketball team continues to have a successful season.

Q. We’re hoping to renovate our older home, which we just bought, and want more technology and a more modern way of life. The house has many rooms and feels cramped, so we want to know whether we can take down all the walls on our first floor, and whether it will be more expensive than just finding a more modern house. I understand there are a lot of factors that make the question hard to answer, but in general, where is the cutoff point where it no longer makes sense to spend too much when we could just move again? A. With enough money spent, all things are possible. Hopefully you chose for the location, school district, taxes and all the long-term reasons instead of just because the house has “good bones,” an expression most often used by people who have no idea what that really means but like the sense of substantial structure it suggests. onte eeper You can open all the walls, as long as it’s done correctly, having the work planned by a licensed professional who uses proper engineering to check the loads, load paths, predicted behavior of wind, snow, fire and floods to design the changes. All too often I’m escorted into the main area of a house where the owner bounces their heels on the floor to show me how the floor shakes, or points to the cracks in the ceiling or the easily noticeable sag in the main beam running above their kitchen, dining room or living room. I always ask if they know who planned the work, and generally they say either that it was done by the contractor or the people before them. Either way, they want it corrected as part of the work. But I have to inform them that this time the beam will be calculated, not guessed at, and the reason for the sag was because of the fear of spending money to hire a trained professional instead, assuming that anyone can do this. The other extreme that amateurs take when designing a beam is over-design, which just costs more, although sometimes the beam is actually so heavy that it sags from its own weight. That’s where equilibrium comes into play. Only you can decide the cutoff point where the dollars are too much. The technology part is really the simplest, since many functions are becoming wireless, and items like foam insulation (which also acts as a vapor and air barrier), heat pumps, reflective surfaces for passive energy allowance, energy recovery, radiant systems with sensors, water-conserving plumbing fixtures, backflow devices for water safety, rooftop solar with back-up batteries and microgrid software are more advanced and have more functions than you may fully appreciate. “Smart” technology adjusts itself, accumulating data use to activate for greater efficiency and cost savings. So stay where you are and enjoy the upgrades, well planned and correctly integrated. Install a waterless lawn and a remote backyard fireplace and enjoy living where you are.

We need more women elected leaders

t’s been over 27 years since Colin Ferguson stepped onto a Long Island Rail Road train in Mineola and started indiscriminately firing a 9mm pistol at passengers. Six were killed, including Dennis McCarthy, of Mineola, and 19 were wounded. Dennis’s son, Kevin, then 26 and a broker with Prudential Securities in New York City, took a bullet to the head, but survived. His left arm remains partially paralyzed. That attack propelled Carolyn McCarthy, Dennis’s wife and Kevin’s mother, to run for Congress. McCarthy, then a nurse, was assailed as a political neophyte and a single-issue candidate, with her laser focus on gun control. Despite the odds against her, she won, and served in the House of Representatives from 1997 to 2015, retiring because of a cancer diagnosis. Throughout her time in Congress, McCarthy ably represented her district, becoming a respected member of the House and a strong-willed politician. She was frustrated often by the lack of movement on common-sense gun-control legislation, such as an assault weapons ban, because of big-money special-interest groups like the National Rifle Association. Still, she endured. It boggles the mind, but in the 243-year history of this nation, only two women have represented Long Island in the House of Representatives. McCarthy, who was elected in the 4th Congressional District, on Nassau’s South Shore, was the first, according to the Congressional Archives. The second is her successor, Kathleen Rice, who was previously the Nassau County district attorney, and whom

McCarthy strongly endorsed in the 2014 election against Republican Bruce Blakeman, the County Legislature’s former presiding officer and a current Town of Hempstead councilman. There has never been a woman from Long Island elected to the U.S. Senate. In fact, only two New York women — Hillary Clinton and Kirsten Gillibrand — have ever served in the Senate since the election of the state’s first two senators, Philip Schuyler and Rufus King, in 1789. Yes, only two. All other New York senators have been white men. That is a sad statement, given that women comprise more than half of our population, and that New York is a racially diverse state. In March, Women’s History Month, we should take a moment to reflect on these facts — and understand that we really could use more women representing us in Washington, and at all levels of government. There is no doubt that women often see the world differently than men. They understand, with far greater depth, the travails that they have faced in this country because of their gender — the implicit bias and outright discrimination. Most often, women are the primary caretakers of our children, so they better understand the lack of government resources available to young mothers with babies and school-age children. They can see how frayed our social safety net is, particularly when compared with Western European nations and Canada. Women elected leaders more often focus on domestic social issues — education, the environment, social equity — compared with their male counterparts in

letters LIRR procurement at a ‘snail’s pace’ To the Editor: Reports of more delays associated with the Long Island Rail Road’s $734 million procurement of 202 new M9 electric replacement cars in 2013 is nothing new. MTA LIRR, Metro North or NYC Transit Federal Transit Administration or locally funded commuter rail or subway car procurement is seldom completed on time, within budget and without contract change orders. There are clearly even more problems with this purchase. The MTA’s own independent engineering consultant forecasts an October 2022 completion date. There is no guarantee that this date will hold. Eight years later, completion of the delivery of all new M9 and M9A cars is several years behind schedule. The oldest M3 cars will have to stay around longer than planned before all new cars arrive and are ready for commuters to board. Instead of retirement, many M3 cars will

Congress, many of whom are often more concerned with international monetary policy and U.S. military intervention than funding school lunch programs and drugtreatment centers. In fact, in the long history of the House of Representatives, only one woman, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, has chaired the Foreign Affairs Committee, and for only two years, from 2011 to 2013, according to the Congressional Archives. The Foreign Affairs Committee is considered among the premier assignments in the House, a center of international power and prestige. Yes, we need our representatives to keep a watchful eye on global affairs — and a number of women in Congress do. Of the 48 current members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, 12 are women — eight Democrats and four Republicans. None are from New York. At the same time, we need to balance international and domestic affairs, and women elected leaders play a key role in ensuring that we do. A record 144 women now hold seats in the House and Senate — but Congress remains a male-dominated institution, with men holding 73 percent of the seats. That statistic needs to change, on both of the Democratic and Republican sides of the aisle. We need greater balance in order to work toward a more perfect union, one in which our daughters, and their daughters, are given the respect they deserve. This month, though, we can reflect on pioneering women elected leaders like Carolyn McCarthy, Kathleen Rice, Hillary Clinton, Kirsten Gillibrand, and now Vice President Kamala Harris.

opinions

he coronavirus pandemic has tipped over the world as we know it, harming most New Yorkers in profound ways while laying bare societal inequities that have plagued New Yorkers for generations, like the disparities in access to child care. It has also strained government budgets to the breaking point, at a time when we rely on the government for help. But there is light at the end of the tunnel, and we are inching our way to recovery. On our way there, we can — and ToDD should — focus on issues kaminsky specific that Covid-19 magnified. That’s why I’m pushing to pass two major initiatives over the next few months. My first initiative for Long Islanders is Universal Pre-K. UPK would provide 4-year-old children throughout Nassau County with free public preschool education. This would be a game-changer. New York City already has a robust universal

pre-K program. It’s about time Long Island children — and parents — received the same support. The science is clear: Investing in children before they start kindergarten has profound effects on their pre-literacy and pre-math skills. Children in Tennessee’s state-funded pre-K program, for example, saw a 75 percent improvement in letter-word identification, a 152 percent improvement in oral comprehension, a 176 percent improvement in picture vocabulary and a 63 percent improvement in quantitative concepts, compared to children who were not in pre-K. Simply put, pre-K sets children up to succeed. Universal pre-K would also be critical for parents and the economy. The pandemic highlighted how challenging — and stressful — full-time parenting with full-time work can be for families. UPK would speed up New York’s recovery by letting parents get back to work. I am pushing hard for UPK to be done in this year’s budget, which is due April 1. Second, I want to revolutionize how

ocusing on universal pre-K, and on making big companies fund recycling.

LeTTers remain for post Covid-19, East Side Access to Grand Central Terminal and increased reverse-peak service starting in December 2022. This assumes that the current project recovery schedule is met. When it comes to purchasing new rail cars, the line of the “Dashing Dan” moves at a snail’s pace. LARRY PENNER Great Neck Penner is a transportation advocate, historian and writer who previously worked for the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 New York Office.

Brinton needs to move on To the Editor: Re Scott Brinton’s column “Finding peace, post-Trump” (Feb. 18-24): Brinton can’t get Trump off his mind. The 45th president captivates him even though is no longer the POTUS. We were never on the brink of nuclear war with North Korea. This is pure speculation. Many children were sent to the Mexican border alone or with non-relatives to be admitted and later request that their parents be admitted. Brinton is ignorant about the chicanery pulled by desperate people wanting to come to the United States to escape the misery of their Central and South American countries. Immigration detention centers were built under President Obama.

we deal with our trash. We have a waste problem in America. Trash is literally piling up; and it will drown our kids. According to a recent study, the U.S. produced more plastic waste than any other country in the world in 2016, about 92.6 billion pounds. If we don’t act soon, we will run out of places to put it. That’s why I have introduced legislation that would shift the responsibility, and the cost, of recycling from taxpayers to big companies. Extended Producer Responsibility (also known as EPR) would boost recycling, curb waste and save tax dollars by shifting the end-of-life responsibility for packaging and paper products from local governments and taxpayers to corporate brand owners and producers. Right now, many products you put in the recycling bin aren’t actually recycled; there’s no market for them. This costs our municipalities millions of dollars, and keeps them on an unsustainable course. Under EPR, producers, like big companies, would cover the cost of recycling paper products and packages. This would moti-

vate them to produce fewer and more eco-friendly materials, all while funding our municipal governments. So what would happen to the packaging from all those deliveries you’ve ordered while you’ve been stuck at home? My bill would require companies to pay our cities for their recycling while also incentivizing them to use less packaging. And the best part? EPR would create thousands of new jobs on Long Island while saving taxpayers money. As we head toward recovery, it is crucial that we provide economic relief for local governments while generating good, wellpaying jobs. The bill, if passed, would be a win-win. We are on the cusp of recovery from the pandemic. More of us are getting vaccinated every day. Now is the time for lawmakers to look beyond Covid-19, learn from what we have gone through, be bold and enact policies that not only help Long Islanders get back to work, but also secure a better future for our children. Why just get back to normal when we can get back to better? State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, of Long Beach, represents the 9th District.

Framework by Allison Tiberio

Trump did not wear a mask initially, and catered to mass rallies that may have increased Covid-19 infections. He should have listened to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Many of his tweets were factually incorrect and insulting. He has a potty mouth. Witnesses were not per mitted at Trump’s second impeachment trial in the Senate, only the lawyers. It was a rushed trial. Witnesses should have been allowed. The chief justice of the Supreme Court did not preside over the trial, because, in my opinion, he saw it as a farce. Brinton may never feel normal again because Trump exposed a raw nerve in the body politic and the “deep state,” which consists of federal employees and civil servants who believe they know best about which policies benefit the United States, rather than the president. Most of Trump’s tweets were stupid and incorrect. The media’s job was to identify them and show precisely why they were ill-informed or stupid. Trump did accomplish a lot through legislation and executive orders, but Brinton cannot bear to read about his accomplishments on the internet, so he is fixated on Trump. Why doesn’t Brinton address the real problems facing President Biden going forward, instead of looking backward? SID KRIMSKY West Hempstead

Voting is an act of choice and an exercise of voice

any people seem to confuse democracy and capitalism. Some seem to think that capitalism defines our system of government. However, our governance is based on democratic principles, including the importance of voting. Capitalism is about economics, not governing. Two central characteristics of capitalism are competition in the marketplace and the availability of information. Competition supports choice, and freely available information supports ROBERT informed choice. Wander supermarSCOTT kets aisles and look at the shelves. There are abundant choices of toothpaste, laundry soaps and paper products, with descriptions of ingredients and safety labels. Nevertheless, we as consumers must be aware; we must determine the truth in advertising. Democracy as a governing system also has informed choice as a foundational

characteristic. We can choose which political party to support, which candidate to back and which policy proposals meet our criteria. However, we must seek the truth and become informed with facts. Given such choices, why do so many fail to vote? The 2020 presidential election campaigns spent almost $14 billion, and turnout, as a percentage of the voting-age public, was higher than any other in 120 years — yet one-third of eligible voters stayed away. Some lacked access or were afraid of the unofficial “marshals” monitoring voting sites, and others were dissuaded from voting by disinformation spread through social media. We need to do more to control disinformation efforts, reduce limitations to voting, help voters learn the truth and ensure the integrity of elections. We can choose to do more to ensure informed choices at the ballot box. But not choosing to do so is itself a choice, one that can lead to the demise of democracy. The historian Robert Artigiani wrote

that we should “choose to act so the act of choosing remains possible.” By failing to exercise our right to vote and failing to ensure the integrity of information promoted by campaigns, we have not only lost our chance to choose, but also have chosen to act in a way that can lead to losing our right to choose. That’s what happens in authoritarian regimes, even though they may not start that way. Hitler was chosen democratically in 1932 before consolidating power. Putin was first elected by popular vote in 2000, and instituted constitutional changes in 2018 that allowed him to remain in power. In both cases, the people made choices that resulted in the loss of future choices because they didn’t stay informed or act on their concerns in time to avoid the consequences. The insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was the result of a disinformation campaign of falsehoods that persists to this day. For democracy to survive, for there to be “a more perfect union,” we need an informed citizenry that under-

stands and appreciates critical thinking, information literacy and the instruments of democracy. We need objective journalism as the source of news. We also need more flexibility in voting to meet the needs of our modern world. Voting by mail and early voting are steps forward, but not the only steps that we can take. Why is general-election voting limited to the first Tuesday in November? Wouldn’t it make sense to allow voting over several days, as in some other countries? What about holding elections on weekends, when fewer people would have to take time off from work in order to vote? In some countries, voting is mandatory, and fines can be imposed on those who do not vote. Our vote is our voice. Voting is an act of choice and the exercise of our voice in expressing our values and priorities. We should make it easier to learn about candidates and issues, and vote. After all, our choice of leaders and policies is much more important than our brand of toothpaste.

Fighting the other epidemic: QAnon (Part 1)

ddly, the most offensive remark made by a politician lately (and there are a lot to choose from) came from Marjorie Taylor Greene last month, as she was desperately trying to hold on to her seat in the House of Representatives. Standing before a microphone on Feb. 4, Greene was backpedaling as fast as she could to put distance between herself and QAnon, the conspiracy group she supported. She had been elected to the House in Georgia’s 14th District on a wave of racist RANDI and anti-Semitic KREISS vitriol and innuendo. In numerous speeches and tweets over the course of her campaign, Greene had allied herself with QAnon and its conspiracy tropes targeting numerous people in public life. By Feb. 4, she had been stripped of her committee assignments in the House because of her public remarks, and she feared being booted out of office altogether. So she stood before a microphone and announced to the world, “9-11 definitely happened.” Thank you, Marjorie. She proclaimed, “School shootings

happened.” In what fractured reality, I wondered, do we find someone like her validating the epic public tragedies we have witnessed with our own eyes? We heard the cries of children with our own ears. We saw the bodies falling from the high floors of the towers. Look around and take note: We are in a surreal place now, where the liars like Greene assume the roles of validating self-evident public truths. In her Feb. 4 appearance, she tried to distance herself from QAnon, but it was a transparent, self-serving show. She kept her seat. This is a woman who promoted violence against Q’s perceived enemies, at one point signaling support for the assassination of Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Greene was duly elected by 74 percent of the voters in her district. That raises the questions, how and why. My initial reaction was not to write about QAnon, to avoid shining a light on its dark activities and let it die a slow death. But it isn’t dying. A better tactic, I think, is to let in the air and light until the issues that gave rise to such a disturbing belief system are addressed. Briefly, QAnon is an internet-based

group of people who believe that there exists in public life a secret society of devil worshipers who kidnap and cannibalize children and engage in pedophilia. Preposterous? The ideology metastasized across the web, pulling people into an alternative world where they followed hidden “clues” and “codes” signaling belief that former President Trump would create a “storm” on inauguration day, ushering himself back into power and bringing down President Biden. And of course, destroying Black Lives Matter and Jewish influencers and basically nonwhites of any variety. How does a belief system like QAnon take hold? The problem isn’t politics, which just offers a stage. People are susceptible to theories that claim to explain the inexplicable uncertainties in all our lives. According to a story by Kevin Roose in The New York Times on Feb. 4, QAnon operates in a different way, and on a different scale, than anything we’ve seen before. For starters, it is uniquely participatory. Followers congregate online to decode the latest QAnon posts and to discuss their theories about the news of the day, creating a communal bond with their fellow believers. Apparently, hundreds of thousands of people think, with complete

t satifies needs we all have to feel significant and part of something big.

sincerity, that the leaders of the Democratic Party may be killing innocent children. Combine those fantasies with a willingness to commit violent crimes in the name of the group, and there is a real threat. Although there is plenty of ignorance to go around among Q followers, Roose wrote that they can’t be dismissed as stupid. The group satisfies needs we all have to feel significant and part of something big. When you don’t get that in other aspects of your life, the group becomes that much more important. Social media adds accelerant. We have to address the psychological triggers and motivations if we want to mitigate the influence and potential dangers of this kind of thinking. Conspiracy theories will always thrive when people feel like they’re not in control of their lives and when political, religious and social groups offer shelter. According to NPR, although QAnon has been kicked off Twitter and Facebook, it thrives on various fringe platforms. I don’t think anyone has a solution for eradicating groups like QAnon. But a good step forward is to better educate our children, creating a generation of more critical thinkers. I’ll address that in Part 2 next week. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss.
