Rising water, rising costs By mAttHEw FERREmI mferremi@liherald.com

Matthew Ferremi/Herald

tHE FIVE towNS are prone to flooding due to their low elevation and their proximity to the Atlantic. Above, flooding at Albemarle and Westminster roads, near Peninsula Boulevard, in Cedarhurst last year.

Responding to a study showing that flood insurance premiums could increase to nearly five times what they are now, U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice is looking to introduce legislation that will limit the increasing cost. Rice, who represents New York’s 4th Congressional District, which includes the Five Towns, said she planned to submit a bill that would require the Federal Emergency Management Agency to report to Congress and publicly disclose the methods and sources of data it uses to

calculate new flood insurance rates at least six months before any changes can be made to the National Flood Insurance Program. “News that homeowners could potentially face significantly higher flood insurance premiums could not come at a worse time,” Rice said. “The last thing homeowners on Long Island can afford is another financial burden during this pandemic. My legislation would also prohibit any changes to FEMA’s flood-risk assessment methodology during, or within six months following, a national emergency decContinued on page 16

Teachers learn that their efforts have made a difference By JEFFREy BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Nearly a year after schools — like most of life — changed dramatically when the coronavirus pandemic began, shifting from in-person learning to remote instruction, the Lawrence High School English Department asked students to write what they called letters of gratitude to teachers and staff who have had an impact on their lives. The students wrote more than 350 letters, making clear how much they appreciated their teachers and how much teachers have helped them achieve. What

was also clear was how much that gratitude matters to the educators. “I asked the English Department to participate in this activity as an SEL (social and emotional learning) lesson,” Lawrence High Assistant Principal Kathleen Stanley wrote in an email. “Many teachers used the lesson to work on grammar and format as well. All of the English teachers embraced this and were very proud of the students’ participation and level of engagement. This has been a difficult year for many, I think the students appreciated the opportunity to reach out to former and present teach-

ers and it certainly lifted the spirits of letter recipients.” Social and emotional learning focuses on teaching students to understand and manage their emotions, set and achieve goals, develop empathy for others and

establish and maintain positive relationships. Sophomore Joelle Acosta wrote to her seventh-grade science teacher, Fran Ubertini, who stirred her interest in science and served as a mentor when Acosta entered projects in science competitions in seventh and eighth grades. “It was really

nice writing the letter, because I got the chance to remember all of the good times in her class and at science competitions,” Acosta wrote in an email to the Herald. “However, the feeling of writing a letter was my favorite part, since it isn’t something I do every day. I did get a response Continued on page 3

When we see Long Island, before all else, we see you— every unique, astounding one of you.

Students express appreciation for their teachers from her and it was great hearing that she remembered me. I truly loved hearing from one of my favorite teachers and I hope we stay in touch.” An excerpt from Acosta’s letter: “Today I wanted to thank you for the hard work of being the teacher of my class specifically. I want to thank you for being the teacher that made me love science. I remember not only my science class but the two years of science competitions that I did with your help. You taught us in class with patience, explaining everything thoroughly. Even though at the time I probably didn’t like the work or appreciate it, now I see the big value in everything you taught me.” Senior Daniela Andrade wrote to science teacher Rebecca Isseroff, her Advanced Placement chemistry, honors chemistry and science research teacher. Andrade credits Isseroff ’s guidance and support for helping her gain admission to Harvard University, where Andrade is headed next fall. “I believe it is extremely important to recognize people’s amazing qualities, as we live in a society that seems to only point out the bad,” Andrade wrote to the Herald. “Therefore, when I was accepted into Harvard I knew I must express my gratitude towards Mrs. Isseroff as due to her diligence, dedication, and commitment toward her students, she has bred success for us.” An excerpt from Andrade’s letter: “It was not until honors chemistry that I realized that if I want to become a doctor I had to excel at chemistry. Therefore, your course taught me how to study, how to read my notes, and how to persevere through a subject that I was not necessarily good at, all of which are skills that I will carry with me throughout my college career.” Audrey Michlig, a Lawrence High junior, wrote to Terrence Batts, the high school orchestra teacher who retired in January. Michlig, along with a few other students, created a farewell video to Batts. At first she didn’t think there was anything she could say to him, especially since she cried in the video. “Mr. Batts meant, and still means a lot to me, because he gave me so many opportunities in the music department,” Michlig wrote to the Herald. “I got to choreograph dances and become assistant orchestra director, and after he left I became the Tri-M Music Honors Society president.” An excerpt from Michlig’s letter: “The memories I have from getting to choreograph, run rehearsals and direct (and even teach for a period!) are some of my fondest memories. Orchestra really was, and still is, the best part of high school for me. And you were always, secretly, one of my favorite teachers and still are.” The teachers said they were moved by the students’ letters. Lawrence Middle School science teacher James Vasaturo told the Herald he had no idea of the impact he had made on his students in his 20 years of teaching. “It floored me — it’s a nice reminder what a strong

impression we make,” Vasaturo said, adding that even years later, he sees former students who remember his favorite saying “Finish strong.” A Lawrence High School sophomore who had a class with Vasaturo as a seventh-grader thanked him for helping her overcome a traumatic time in her life then, writing that she felt safe in his classroom. Vasaturo wrote a thank-you of his own to the students he received letters from. A portion reads, “It also reminds me that it is an honor and a privilege to be able to teach science to such great young minds. If I helped you get to where you are going someday in the future that is great. That is the reason I became a teacher in the first place.” Middle school math teacher Maria Karvales, who has been an educator for over two decades, wrote a thank-you note to Stanley for sending her the letters, saying, “I will keep them close to my heart. Words cannot describe the excitement and gratitude I felt. I have hopeful intentions for our Lawrence students. I truly believe our Lawrence family together make the greatest difference.” Karvales also thanked the students on Zoom. Lawrence Elementary School sixthg rade math teacher Patricia Egan received four letters, including one from senior Miriam Ortiz. When Ortiz was 15, she asked Egan to serve as her godmother for her quinceanara, the traditional celebration of a girl’s 15th birthday in the Spanish culture. “Miriam chose me because we had a very special connection,” Eagan wrote to the Herald, adding that when she read the letters, she cried. “She knew she could come to me for anything even after she wasn’t my student any longer. Being her godmother means I will always be in Miriam’s life. “I will try to be a good role model to her, and I will be someone she can always count on. An excerpt from Ortiz’s letter: “You had such a great influence on me because you were always there for me when I needed help. You became a school mother to me which was amazing and when it got to my quince I was so happy that you were able to be my ring godmother and that you had such nice things to say about me and for me.” Isserof f wrote in an email that Andrade’s letter was a “much needed shot of adrenaline” at a time when lots of extra work — at least 20 hours a week — is needed to transfer homework, notes and tests to computer platforms, while she teaches to near-empty classrooms and easily distracted remote learners. “Daniela’s letter made me feel that at least I have accomplished some good and made an impact with some students,” Isseroff wrote, noting that she has taught chemistry for 27 years. “We teachers need to feel that our efforts have made a difference, and that is what keeps us going. That is why we became teachers.”

In commemoration of Yom HaShoah, more than people joined a Zoom event hosted by Temple Hillel in North Woodmere, which featured filmmaker and Five Towns native Tyler Gildin discussing his documentary, “The Starfish” on April 7. Yom HaShoah is Hebrew for Holocaust Memorial Day. The day is commemorated in the United States and Israel on a day corresponding to the 27th day of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar. It marks the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943, when Jewish residents battled Nazi forces for nearly a month that April and May. “The Starfish” was released in May 2020 and recounts the story of Gildin’s late grandfather Herb Gildin, who grew up in Germany. As World War II began, 10-year-old Herb and his older sisters Cele, 14, and Margaret, 12, were split up and sent to Sweden to live with non-Jewish families far away from the Nazis’ reach. After the war, the siblings were able to connect with their birth parents in the United States. The title refers to a folktale about an old man who sees a boy on a beach tossing starfish back into the ocean. The man tells the boy that there are so many starfish that he’ll never make a difference, he won’t save enough. The boy responds by tossing another starfish into the water, and telling the man that he just made a difference to that one. Gildin saw this as a connection to his grandfather’s family in Sweden. “Its not a typical sad Holocaust story,” said Gildin, a Woodmere native. “It’s a story of survival, resilience and the

American dream. It also focuses on the importance of human kindness.” Herb died in May 2019, at the age of 90. Gildin added that his grandfather was not always forthright with sharing stories from his childhood throughout his childhood. “He was not one that liked to reflect since he was someone who always wanted to look forward in a very business oriented way,” he said. “His older sister Cele passed away in 2017 and at the funeral, my grandfather gave the eulogy. That was the first time I heard him discuss stories from that time.” Rabbi Steven Graber, of Temple Hillel, moderated the discussion. He noted how impressed he was with the film. “I didn’t know what to expect at the beginning but I was so glad I got to see it,” Graber said. “When I think about the Swedish family that helped Herb and his siblings, it made me ask this question to myself, what are we doing to help others who are in need today?” Rabbi Bruce Ginsburg, the spiritual leader of Congregation Sons of Israel in Woodmere, said during the virtual event that he was impressed with Gildin’s filmmaking. “As the producer and director, Tyler was able to step back so that people were able to get engrossed in his grandfather’s story,” he said. “Was I so engaged in the film because I know the family? No. I was engaged because it just happens to be an excellent film.” Gildin said that for even those who are not Jewish, there are relatable elements for everyone in the film. “Everybody comes from somewhere where you have to deal with certain challenges and obstacles,” he said. “There are certain pieces in this film that I think resonate with a wide audience.”

Herald Football News Hewlett unable to solve V.S. South By BRIAn KACHARABA sports@liherald.com

Valley Stream South’s football playoff hopes are still alive thanks to Yasir Shabazz-Allah and Tyler VanEtten. Shabazz-Allah rushed for 251 yards and three touchdowns and VanEtten made two key defensive plays in the fourth quarter as the Falcons defeated Hewlett, 24-14, last Friday to remain in the mix for a Conference III postseason berth. Both schools entered the game 2-2 and in a sixth-place tie with two other teams. But this year, only the top four teams qualify for the playoffs instead of the usual eight, making this contest a must-win on both sides. “I’m so proud of them,” said Falcons head coach Joe Guastafeste. “They knew we were on the outside looking in. It was a must-win.” But it wasn’t easy. Hewlett recovered a fumble on the South 16-yard line 89 seconds into the game, but turned the ball over after Falcon linebacker Brandon Pierre stopped Bulldog quarterback Mark Winkler on a fourth-down run. “We didn’t start off as quickly as we hoped to,” Hewlett head coach John Palladino said. “Our plan was to play with a lead [and] try to score early. It didn’t work out that way.” The Falcons took over and methodically drove down the field behind Shabazz-Allah’s running before the senior emergency quarterback punched it in from a yard out and again on the two-point conversion to make it 8-0 early in the second quarter. He scored again on a four-yard run and another twopointer for a 16-0 advantage with

2:30 left in the half. Hewlett began the next drive on its 45-yard line after the kickoff went out of bounds and took full advantage. Winkler started the set with a 52-yard screen pass to Manny Richards and ended it with a 15-yard TD strike to Jon Zenny to put Hewlett on the board. Zenny converted the trick two-point conversion to cut the deficit in half. “We decided that we had to open it up a little bit,” Palladino said. “That was a great catch [by Zenny].” Shabazz-Allah picked up where he left off in the second half by rushing the ball 13 times for 62 yards on South’s first possession, including a six-yard scamper around the left end that helped South regain its 16-point advantage. Hewlett answered early in the fourth quarter on Zenny’s 14-yard TD run with 10:10 left, but a fumbled two-point conversion attempt only brought the Bulldogs to within 10 points. VanEtten helped clinched the win by stripping Winkler near midfield with just over seven minutes remaining, a fumble that was recovered by teammate Ivan Chen, before sacking him just over two minutes later in Falcon territory. Nick Parisi intercepted the ball on the next play. “Everybody who watches the games talks about Yasir, but every coach I have faced this year talks to me about Tyler,” Guastafeste said. “To the trained eye, Tyler is the man.” Hewlett closes the season at Valley Stream North this Saturday at 2 p.m..

Bringing local sports home every week

By TOny BeLLissiMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

With seven sophomores and one freshman starting and playing major minutes, Lawrence football head coach Jason Supple is looking for this spring’s action to translate into better results in the fall. However, numbers throughout the program are becoming a big issue, he said. “I’m honestly not sure what’s going to happen next season because we’re not playing middle school sports in our district this year,” Supple said. “Hopefully the kids who’ve always played football will be hungry to get back on the field come August.” This spring, the Golden Tornadoes are rolling with 28 on the varsity roster and only 22 at the JV level. Supple’s team, minus three key contributors from 2019, stands at 1-4 after falling to upstart North Shore 42-20 last Saturday. Lawrence will conclude the condensed six-game season this Saturday at home versus Carle Place at 2 p.m. “We’re super young, especially at the skill positions,” Supple said. “These guys are getting valuable experience that they can use as a springboard into the fall.” The lone victory came March 26 at Malverne when the Golden Tornadoes, after shutout losses to Cold Spring Harbor and Seaford to open the campaign, scored three touchdowns and held on for a 19-14 win. The eventual winning score came on defense when junior lineman Andres Valle pounced on a botched shotgun snap by the Mules in the end zone late in the third quarter. “It was a solid game that didn’t go well at the start,” said Supple, who noted Malverne scored on its open-

ing possession. “After that first drive we place tough defense and limited their big plays.” Malverne’s Deandre Blagrove rushed for 128 yards on 27 carries and scored both of its touchdowns. “He was a handful and ripped off some long runs early before we stepped up and contained him better,” Supple said. Lawrence responded to Blagrove’s first TD with a long scoring drive of its own, capped by sophomore Jackson Mondesir’s 4-yard touchdown run, and trailed 7-6 at the half. Sophomore Jared Alexander gave the Golden Tornadoes a 12-7 lead in the third quarter with a 3-yard score, and Valle’s fumble recovery made it 19-7. Blagrove returned to the end zone midway through the fourth, but the Mules’ final possession was halted at midfield and the visitors ran out the final 80 seconds. Mondesir and seniors Kaine McHale and Luke Kirchner made six tackles apiece to lead Lawrence’s defense. Offensively, the Golden Tornadoes returned five linemen with starting experience — Kirchner at center, Yuri Martinez and John Calderon at guard, and McHale and Aiden Gwyn at tackle. Sophomore Kody Kirchner is the starting quarterback who never played the position prior to this March. “He’s a three-sport athlete who’s very smart and there was never any hesitation on his part to play quarterback,” Supple said. The backfield has Mondesir, Alexander and freshman Zaire Garraway. Senior split end Mikell Henry leads a group of targets that includes senior Jonathan Martinez, junior Dennis Cabrera and sophomore Jahking King.

THEIR FRONT-LINE STORIES IN THEIR OWN WORDS

WEST HEMPSTEAD Director, Malverne Public Library

ublic libraries have always offered a wide variety of services to meet the various needs of their patrons. Whether it's balancing demand for print media with the increasing demand for digital access or serving as a social hub versus simply offering a quiet oasis, libraries have always adapted quickly to the changing needs of their communities. With the added health and safety concerns to consider, the Covid-19 crisis has accelerated the demand for libraries to adapt. The library board, staff and I had to reimagine what our library service would look like without access to our physical setting. We always knew that our library wasn't just a building housing books, but was also a reflection of the people who serve their community through hard work, compassion and humor.

WOODMERE Adult Programming Librarian, Peninsula Public Library

As Covid caused everything around us to grind to a halt overnight, the residents of the Village of Malverne immediately rallied to support one another, and the library quickly switched gears from what had been our routine to something new. We focused on ways to bring the library to our patrons, into their homes, and keeping families busy with fun outdoor activities. We stayed connected through wellness phone calls, Zoom programs, scavenger hunts and Grab & Go crafts while increasing choices of eBooks and audiobooks to keep up with patron demand. In this turbulent year, our relationship with and our commitment to the village has actually deepened. In a post-quarantine world, we will remain committed to grow and evolve our services to further benefit our community.

he pandemic has meant becoming an expert in Zoom. It has meant searching out fascinating and fun content, and sometimes finding surprise hits such as our new challahbaking and Passover cooking demos. From our first Zoom last April, our audience has grown phenomenally; we now regularly host eight to 10 virtual programs with up to 1,500 in attendance per week, a huge increase from pre-pandemic levels. This past year has been challenging for so many of us who have been isolated and alone, looking for activities to relieve our loneliness and boredom. Those numbers represent a whole community of lifelong learners in Lawrence schools and beyond who are eager to participate and happy for the company. From online canasta lessons to unlocking the mysteries of the Dead Sea Scrolls, from author visits and book discussions to show

business lectures, seeing the joy that programs bring to our patrons and knowing that I have made this challenging time just a little bit easier for someone means the world to me. It has meant that the book discussions I run each month at Blue Door Books in Cedarhurst and elsewhere have also become virtual. Luckily, we are finding that authors are delighted to join our regular Zoom events; they miss meeting readers as much as readers miss them. In some ways, the pandemic has served as an engine of opportunity, allowing us in the book and library world to find new (and even better) ways to serve our community. As the world changed, we changed.

MASSAPEQUA PARK Director, Elmont Memorial Library

efore March 2020, Zoom, GoToMeeting and virtual programming would not have invoked the memories of the “little squares” that schools, libraries, businesses and even entertainment turned to as the primary mode of communication. Technology was the vehicle through which communication was broadcast, but it was the people providing the human connection that made the real difference. In my case, as the new Elmont library director, I anticipated some challenging situations, but nothing prepared me for the fear and uncertainty of Covid-19. From the day the library closed following executive orders, the lockdown did not hinder the interaction the library administration, staff and I had with the Elmont community. With phone calls to patrons and, yes, Zoom

EAST ROCKAWAY Director, East Rockaway Public Library

and GoToMeeting programs and events, the Elmont staff and I began our quest to remain connected to our library family. With the assistance of the Nassau Library System and other library directors, the Elmont administration, staff and the board of trustees, we set out to innovate our services while we sheltered in place. Although our “virtual doors” became the catchphrase, libraries remained accessible, even remotely, since we provided services that helped connect people from their homes. Whether attending a virtual cooking class, a computer training session, a book discussion, a lecture or a craft class, the human connection prevailed. The Elmont library reopened last June, and the staff and I welcome our library family to visit us in person as well.

HERALD HOMETOWN HERO

hen the pandemic first began, we gradually needed to scale back the number of staff and patrons we could allow in the building, which had a great impact on the services we could offer. Not long after, we needed to close the building entirely to the staff and the public. I needed to adapt to a new way of reaching out to our patrons and keep the staff engaged. The staff worked remotely for two months, calling patrons to check in on them and creating online programs, which was a new experience for all of us. The most important task I had was developing a plan based on New York state and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines that would offer a safe environment and minimize any risk to the staff and patrons once we were allowed back in the building. I think the library will continue with a hybrid

of both virtual and in-person programming gong forward. This will enable us to reach more people who, for one reason or another, are not able to physically attend a program that interests them. Our homebound delivery service was expanded and will remain in place. We will also continue our virtual storytimes and to add content to our YouTube and social media pages. The library is one of the few places that serves all of the public, from infants to seniors, and it is vital that we be available to try to meet their needs. During the shutdown, my staff called many of our patrons who were feeling lonely and scared. Our online storytimes and "take and make" crafts gave them a much-needed outlet. The needs of the community aren't one-size-fits-all, so it's our responsibility to maintain a stable, informative and welcoming environment for those who need it.

e've definitely had to think outside the box. We closed last March 20, and by the following week we were starting to do Zoom programs. Thank God the technology was available, the staff was on board with it and we were able to do that almost imeediately. We had a lot of support from the county to continue offering our digital services. Of course, those increased exponentially during the time that we were closed. We made the decision that we'd do all of our programs live. Live Zoom, not taping, because we thought it was very important to have interaction with our patrons, and that has been very successful. We have regualr people coming to our story time still and, in fact, in certain ways we've been able to accommodate more people, because we've had a very small

meeting space, and now we can do 20 to 25 children with adults. In the past we could only do 12 and 12, so we've actually expanded some of those things. The pandemic impacted us in the sense that we were not able to continue certain things. The older population hasn't really picked up on Zoom. We can't do movies on Zoom. We have some people who come to the book club, but many of the regulars were seniors, and they weren't able to pick it up. We've tried to have classes, but it's hard to have a class on how to do something when you need to have the technology to attend the class. And that's something we haven't been able to overcome, and I think that's the story for most people.

LawRENcE NativE aRthuR Kopit was a renowned playwright whose plays ran on Broadway, garnered Tony Award nominations and were Pulitzer Prize finalists.

Everyone wants to look their best and feel confident and happy.

Treat yourself or the special person in your life to a day of skin tightening treatments at Berke Eye Care.

Renowned playwright Arthur Kopit, 83 jbessen@liherald.com

Before Lawrence native Arthur Kopit became a successful playwright he was a young man who took pleasure in teasing his younger sister, Susan, and her friends and pestering his mother and her friends playing cards. “Because he was much older than us, he enjoyed teasing Susan and all her friends” said Jacqueline Buchman Handel, who was one of those friends. “My mother often complained that Arthur would annoy the women playing canasta in their home. Looking back, he was just like any other high school male student, only smarter and more cleaver.” Kopit also proved to be more creative as he wrote plays that garnered Tony nominations, was a two-time finalist for a Pulitzer Prize, won what is now the Drama Desk Award and nominated for another. He died at his Manhattan home on April 2. Kopit was 83. Born Arthur Lee Koenig, he took his stepfather’s surname after his mother remarried. “There were many gifted students in Lawrence High School when I attended,” Handel said. “I remember the excitement in English class in 1963 when Mr. Daly proudly announced one of his recent students, while an upperclassman in Harvard, wrote ‘Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feelin’ So Sad.’” Off-Broadway and on Broadway the play was directed by Jerome Robbins.” Kopit, who graduated from Lawrence High in 1955, wrote “Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feelin’ So Sad,” and won $250 and the Harvard University-run contest. He won the Vernon Rice Award (now the Drama Desk Award) and the Outer Critics Circle Award for best new play in 1962. Kopit also began his long-term collaboration with Roger L. Stevens. There was continued success with several one-act plays such as “The Day the

Whores Came Out to Play Tennis,” and a three-act play “On the Runway of Life, You Never Know What’s Coming Off Next.” In 1969, he wrote “Indians” based on a shooting in Saigon. Despite mixed reviews in London and on Broadway, the play was nominated for three Tony Awards, including Best Play, and a Pulitzer for drama. “He simply made our community so proud of what he accomplished at so young an age,” Handel said. “People just talked about ‘our playwright.’ His instant success gave people a reason to wonder when his next play would be on Broadway. It was special to have a celebrity as a neighbor.” In the early 1970s, Kopit moved to Vermont and taught at Wesleyan University in the mid-‘70s. He wrote “Wings” after a nineyear break from writing plays that took inspiration from his stepfather’s recovery experience who suffered a stroke in 1976. It impacted his ability to speak. The play garnered three Tony nominations with Constance Cummings winning for best actress. “Wings” was also a finalist for a Pulitzer. Kopit collaborated with Maury Yeston on the 1982 musical “Nine,” based on the Federico Fellini film “8½.” Kopit received a Tony nomination for nest book of a musical. “Nine” was revived in 2003 with Antonio Banderas and won two Tony Awards. There was also a 2009 film based on Kopit’s script. His final Broadway credit was 1998’s “High Society” based on “The Philadelphia Story.” A year later “Y2K” was on offBroadway. It was retitled “Because He Can” as the forecasted issues did not materialize. Kopit also taught at City College of New York and Yale University. He was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 2017. Kopit married Leslie Garis in 1968. Together for 53 years, they had three children: Alex, Ben and Kat. “To me his early achievement served as a lasting impression to work hard and have achievable goals,” Handel said.

Rice pushes for oversight, transparency continued from front page laration.” The Five Towns are particularly vulnerable to flooding, because of their low elevation and their proximity to Jamaica Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. FEMA currently provides homeowners with flood insurance through the NFIP, which covers roughly five million policyholders across the country, including tens of thousands on Long Island. There are more than 20,000 policies in the Town of Hempstead covering nearly 65,000 residents, according to town officials. FEMA plans to implement premium changes on Oct. 1 for new flood insurance policies, and to amend existing policies next April 1. According to a study that was released on Feb. 22 by the First Street Foundation, which studies flood risk, NFIP would have to “quadruple premiums on high-risk homes inside floodplains to reflect the risks they already face.” The study concluded that if all of those homes were to insure against flood risk through the NFIP, its rates would need to increase 4.5 times to cover the estimated risk in 2021, and 7.2 times to cover the growing risk by 2051. “Before FEMA makes any changes to its flood insurance models,” Rice said, “it must first disclose the data it is using and provide additional details to justify its actions.” Since Hurricane Sandy hit in October 2012, flood insurance premiums have

Since Hurricane Sandy hit in 2012, flood insurance premiums have increased in the Five Towns. Two National Guardsmen made their way through floodwater on Green Place, in Woodmere, two days after the storm. increased significantly for Five Towns residents. Michael Feygin, who lives in Woodmere, said that his insurance costs have doubled since 2013. “In 2013, FEMA was charging us around $400, and now it’s nearly $800 per year,” Feygin said. “It has gone up several hundred dollars over the last two or three years. Even three to four years ago, I was still paying around $500.” According to FEMA, if a home is in an area with a high risk of flooding and the

homeowner has a mortgage from a federally regulated or insured lender, the lender is legally mandated to require a homeowner to have flood insurance. Feygin said he lives in a flood zone. “During Sandy, several blocks around me did flood, but my block had no damage whatsoever,” he said. “I don’t mind paying for something that I need. But I never used this insurance, even in the worst weather situations.” Woodsburgh resident Lauren Sobol,

who lives on Ivy Hill Road, across from Woodmere Channel, said her premiums have kept increasing. “I know the street had flooding from Sandy, but my house did not,” she said. “My house is considered to be in a risky flood zone, and I pay more than anyone I know.” Cedarhurst Mayor Benjamin Weinstock, a real estate attorney, noted that flood insurance premiums vary depending on a number of factors. “The most important factor is your location, and if you’re in a flood zone,” he explained. “If your first-floor elevation is above what they call the base flood elevation, then your rates are going to be lower. If the first floor of your home is low, your premium will be higher.” Weinstock added that another factor that affects premiums is how long a resident has been insured. “If you’re newly insured, the premiums are higher than if you’ve been insured for an extended amount of time,” he said. “My personal situation — I’m happy with my flood insurance, and I’ve had it since I bought my house. I’m outside of the flood zone, and my premium happens to be reasonable.” Feygin said he believed that having flood insurance should be a homeowner’s choice. “If something happens,” he said, “I’m willing to pay out of my pocket.” Have an opinion on flood insurance policies?

Inside LI hosts local colleges webinar By Nicole AlciNdor nalcindor@liherald.com

When the pandemic first hit, colleges had to change how they taught — they had to do so remotely or not at all — which resulted in emotional and even physical changes in many current and prospective students. For many Long Islanders already enrolled in local colleges, as time has passed, the changes that were new transitions only a year ago have become the new normal— with many students, faculty and staff having found new and innovative ways to adapt. Many Long Island high-schoolers who are considering college in the near future have been left with unanswered questions about university studies during the pandemic. To shed light on the many questions that they may be pondering, Herald Inside LI held a live Zoom webinar, “Staying Local for College,” on April 8. Panelists from local colleges and universities discussed accommodating students during a pandemic. Many panelists also reflected on what it was like when the pandemic first hit versus now. “When the pandemic first happened, it was harder to have the same type of interactions without in-person meetings, and I think eventually students and staff got sick of virtual meetings,” said Marguerite Lane, assistant vice president of enrollment management at Molloy College. “However, now I can happily say that we are having more personal contact, and the majority of our courses will be in-person in the fall.” Lane, who has worked at Molloy College for 33 years, said the school has adapted to the pandemic by bringing about many new changes to help students. Molloy recently completed renovations to new residence halls. Despite having mostly commuter students, the school does have a certain number of students who live on campus.

HerAld iNside li held a live Zoom webinar called, “Staying Local for College,” on April 8. “We have had more than double the number of our students taking advantage of mental health counseling than usual, and I think it’s a great opportunity for students to use that campus resource during this pandemic time,” Lane said. St. Francis College has also had to offer more counseling services for students. Robert Oliva, St. Francis’s assistant vice president for enrollment management, said, “A lot of institutions have not been able to invest in mental health services for students during this tough time, but we were able to hire one new full-time counselor and 10 graduate student interns to help.” “The past year has shown us how flexible we can be

and persistent,” said Christine Murphy, vice president for enrollment management at St. Joseph’s College in Brooklyn. “There was so much uncertainty before, but now we are able to do more advanced virtual events, we will have fall sports for this 2021 year, and we hope to give students more human interaction and experiences in the classroom or on the field or anywhere on campus.” “We have entered into the new normal ... We are not the same institution, and we are all going to see even more flexibility in the coming fall months for students,” said Joseph Posillico, vice president for enrollment management at the New York Institute of Technology. All the college enrollment officials present said their schools do not yet require a Covid-19 vaccine to take classes or take part in activities. The officials said receiving a vaccine will remain optional for students, unless state law changes or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests otherwise. “So many things have changed, but vaccines will remain optional for now,” concluded Stephanie Espina, Adelphi University’s director of undergraduate admissions. Hofstra University shifted its admissions process almost entirely to digital last year. Recruitment has been more personalized, explained Claire Fitzgibbon, director of undergraduate admissions at Hofstra University. By the coming fall, Hofstra aims to be back to in-person instruction exclusively. In coming weeks, clubs will be offering in-person meeting opportunities. “Everything is different, and it’s going to continue to look different,” Fitzgibbon said. “None of us know what the “new normal” will look like, but we’re going to build it together.” To watch the recording of this webinar, visit www. liherald.com/recordings, and to register for future webinars, visit www.liherald.com/insideli.

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 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

Lawrence tax increase, otices considering pot opt-out

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.

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Much business was conducted at the Lawrence village meeting of April 8, ranging from adopting a new budget to setting a public hearing concerning the prohibition of retail stores or on-site consumption sites regarding the new state marijuana law. Lawrence trustees adopted a $6,663,450 million budget for the new fiscal year that begins June 30 by a 4-1 vote with the lone dissent by Deputy Mayor Michael Fragin. “It is not the appropriate time for these taxes because of the pandemic,” he told the Herald, noting that New York state is raising taxes on high-income taxpayers, a portion who live in Lawrence, and the village should garner at least $8.5 million from the sale of the former sewage treatment plant land at 1 Rock Hall Road. “The village is not short of funds,” Fragin added. Mayor Alex Edelman disagreed and said that to help ensure that any financial hole does not widen as Lawrence has not had a tax increase in the past eight years and has dipped into its reserves the past few years, the tax increase of roughly $130 per homeowner is “minute” compared to people paying at least $200 per month for cable television. “There is no good time for a tax increase, but this is to avoid the inevitable and ease the burden,” Edelman told the Herald. Lawrence officials held an auction for the Rock Hal Road land on March 3. No one made a public bid, but afterwards two bidders came forward. The village is completing negotiations with one group, Edelman said, with 10 percent of the money due when the contract is signed and the

balance due within the next 60 days. It is expected that at least eight singlefamily homes will be built on the 3.83acres the village old. Nassau County retains a half-acre for an unmanned effluent pump station. Lawrence plans to use the money to build an aquatic center at the village-owned and operated Lawrence Yacht & Country Club. ‘The aquatic center will increase the profitability of the country club,” Edelman, said. Officials continue to look into buying and installing security cameras, including adding a few to the renovation plans for Zion Park. The purchase price is $150,000 with the village paying $73,000 and a grant picking up the remaining $77,000. Drag racing on Causeway is an issue and officials are following up with the 4th Precinct. There was a drag racing-related accident in Cedarhurst in March. The person survived but caused a tremendous amount of damage. “The police are on the lookout for it,” Village Administrator Ron Goldman said at the meeting, adding that most of the drag racing is occurring on Friday night and Saturdays and the police have stepped up enforcement with tickets being written. At the May 6 meeting there will be two public hearings. One on a proposed rental dwelling unit law and the other on a proposed local law that is subject to a public vote asking the state’s permission to opt out of “any retail dispensary and/or onsite consumption licenses” for legal recreational marijuana sales in the village. Village meetings are being held at the country club, 101 Causeway at 8 p.m. Go to www.villageoflawrence.org for the agenda and links to attend virtually.

Q. We’re planning a deck for our second floor so we have a better view of the water from our house. Part of the deck will be over our roof, and part will extend into our backyard and give shade to our patio. A contractor we called said we need plans first, and that he would make the deck attach to the back of the house with something he called a “ledger.” We looked it up, and were wondering if there was another way, since we would have to remove the gutters we just paid a lot of money to install. We wanted the deck to be above the gutter so we could use the gutter for our roof to drain into; otherwise the water will just pour onto our patio from underneath. What do you suggest? A. As I wrote previously, you have the design issues with water and movement prevention, considering wind, rain, sun and fire. You have zoning and building code issues to resolve, and you have the cost issue, which is tied to everything else. The reason for the background answers in those two columns is that you onte eeper need to know that the attached deck — any attached deck — can cause damage to the house if not done in such a way that it’s strong, and yet can still break away, if necessary, to avoid pulling the house wall with it. If I hadn’t seen demonstrations of storms in which people left their security cameras running, I also wouldn’t imagine, but you can clearly see, the deck twisting in strong winds, wrenching loose and pulling the side wall of the home outward. I watched in near disbelief as the home, minus the wall, with the interior exposed, begin to lose the roof, which waffled up and down for few seconds before pealing off like the lid of a soup can and flying away like a kite. Coupled with my own experience of living through a Fourth of July tornado that killed 40 people and ripped off the side of our brick home, I know this is very real and can happen in an instant. That experience inspired me to tell others of the dangers. When footage of the recent storms in Alabama was broadcast, I’m sure most people were focused on the belongings and cars strewn all over. I was looking for metal connectors at the roof and wall connections. I didn’t see a single one in any of those videos. The connectors don’t prevent pullapart, but they do resist it, and allow people time to shelter and possibly hold enough of the home together to make the difference between life and death. Deck attachment should consist of the right kind of hardware, correctly attached to the (ledger) board and, if possible, attached under the roof edge, below the gutter, where the connection is secured and weather-protected. Good luck!

resident Biden’s proposed $2 trillion infrastructure plan is remarkable for its ambition and breadth and for taking significant steps to address historic racial inequities. The president deserves great credit for recognizing, confronting and trying to tackle those inequities. As the plan evolves, it should focus further on how it will reduce racial segregation, the foundation of the inequities, and not just fix up the segregated communities that are so prominent in our nation’s landscape. ELAINE The Biden plan includes $20 billion GRoSS for a new program to reconnect neighborhoods cut off by historic transportation investment inequities. That will rightly undo past harm. The plan recognizes that people of color and low-income people are more likely to live in areas most vulnerable to flooding and other climate-change-related weather events, and it targets investments to support infrastructure there. It invests $100 billion to upgrade and build new public schools, noting that “we can’t close the opportunity gap if low-income kids go to school in buildings that undermine health and safety.” In both cases, assisting people living in

segregated communities is a worthy priority, and much should be done in the short term. But the core problem that requires addressing is the historic and structural discrimination and segregation that fuel inequity. Should these populations have to remain in the flood areas? Shouldn’t they have access to other communities, too? In some instances, fixing up segregated schools is long overdue. But what else is happening to encourage integrated schools? New school buildings can provide important incentives to encourage crossing of neighborhood borders. The infrastructure plan highlights the severe shortage of affordable housing in America, and invests $213 billion to produce, preserve and retrofit more than two million affordable and sustainable places to live. It pairs this investment with an innovative new approach to eliminate state and local exclusionary zoning laws, which play a vital role in housing discrimination and thus residential and school segregation. “For decades,” the plan states, “exclusionary zoning laws — like minimum lot sizes, mandatory parking requirements and prohibitions on multifamily housing — have inflated housing and construction costs and locked families out of areas with more opportunities. President Biden is calling on Congress to enact an innovative, new

competitive grant program that awards flexible and attractive funding to jurisdictions that take concrete steps to eliminate such needless barriers to producing affordable housing.” Exclusionary zoning often seems superficially innocuous. “It’s about density, not racism,” goes the argument. But its impact is to reduce options for more affordable housing and, therefore, a more diverse population. In some cases, it is specifically designed to give preference to those who already live in largely white communities. Two examples in New York highlight the problem. In 2014, the federal government sued the Town of Oyster Bay over two housing programs created to develop below-market-rate housing for first-time homeowners and older adults. The programs discriminated against African-Americans, because the initiatives gave preference to residents of the predominantly white town. Very few African-Americans (3 percent of residents) lived in the town at the time, and fewer than 1 percent of Black families living there were eligible for the program. Income-eligible Black residents nearby were blocked from participating. That is exclusionary zoning — and it is, in effect, racist. In a separate case in Westchester County, a False Claims Act lawsuit by the Anti-Dis-

he $2 trillion plan recognizes historic inequities in transportation.

crimination Center targeted exclusionary zoning. It resulted in Westchester settling the case and entering into a 2009 consent decree. As the center describes the outcome, “Westchester was prohibited from ignoring either the residential racial segregation that continues to plague it, or the municipal resistance to affordable housing development that stymies the possibility of changing those patterns.” The impact of exclusionary zoning is amplified by the fact that it does not exist in a vacuum. It is one aspect of a broader pattern of local control that derives from home rule — specific powers delegated by states to local municipalities. Those powers transfer to localities control of land use, public services and community benefits. In the context of predominantly white communities, local control provides the power to exclude. I have explored that further in a separate essay on “Housing Discrimination and Local Control.” Biden is right to address racial inequities with his infrastructure plan. He deserves praise for taking an innovative approach to tackling exclusionary zoning. What is needed now is a closer look at whether the plan overall does enough to dismantle racial segregation and the disparities it produces. It is a difficult balance. Keep what we have and make it better, or implement real transformation. Elaine Gross is president of ERASE Racism, the Long Island-based regional civil rights organization.

Pandemic of 1918 pushed off the front pages

y husband’s father was 14 and living in New York during the pandemic of 1918, sometimes known as the Spanish flu. He must have had memories of the time; surely he knew people who died in Brooklyn, where he lived. Yet according to my husband, his parents never mentioned the epidemic, which killed upward of 60 million people worldwide. My grandparents never talked about it, either. In 1918 they were in their 20s, and also lived in Brooklyn. On a personal level and in the RANDI press, there was a KREISS kind of collective amnesia about the pandemic, some say because the horror was overwhelming. In 2005, when I read “Wickett’s Remedy,” a novel about the pandemic by Myla Goldberg, I was amazed that a catastrophic epidemic had swept through this country so recently. Goldberg’s historical fiction told the tale not in the cold numbers of the body count, but in the arresting details of a community under siege — a study of how people behave in the grip of unyielding suffering. It

seems especially relevant now. The Spanish flu was a novel virus, like Covid-19. No one had immunity, and it surged through the city tenements, wiping out entire families. Hospitals had to set up tents outdoors, because they were filled beyond capacity. Bodies piled up on the streets of Philadelphia. There was no known cause and no cure. The virus traveled around the world on troop ships carrying soldiers to World War I battlegrounds. Like today, there was plenty of fake news about miracle cures and remedies. In Brooklyn, a group of chiropractors took out an ad in the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper, touting spinal adjustments as a cure for the disease. Their ad read in part, “If you catch cold easily and throw it off slowly, it indicates a lowered nervous vigor that must be corrected. … The cause lies in the derangement of that sensitive part of the anatomy, the spine. Spinal adjustments by a chiropractor, trained and skillful, will correct this condition.” Hydroxychloroquine, anyone? The same paper reported on Oct. 4, 1918, that 135 men appeared in court after being caught spitting in the street. The magistrate “imposed a fine of $1 on each of the defen-

dants and told them that with an influenza epidemic on hand they ought to be more careful.” On Oct. 15, the Eagle reported that there had been some 500,000 cases of Spanish flu in New York City. Low-cost meals were being prepared and distributed from an empty storefront in downtown Brooklyn. Then, as now, reckless behavior sometimes led to a spike in cases. In Eastport, Long Island, folks thought the worst was over, so they planned a celebration. The paper reported, “Flu was at party, epidemic follows.” Apparently there were only 15 glasses for more than 500 guests at the shindig, and it became a “superspreader” event. Eventually, even without a vaccine, without the medical interventions we have now, the cases of flu just started to drop, and the disease disappeared, with very little press coverage. It has been suggested that one reason people buried the memories with the bodies was that an even bigger tragedy was strutting on the world stage and grabbing the headlines: World War I. President Woodrow Wilson never made a public comment about the pandemic. There was no federal

he ‘deadliest event in all of human history’ brought about a collective amnesia.

response to the disease, no Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So it played out quietly in towns and cities across the country. Yet “The 1918 influenza pandemic was the deadliest event in all of human history,” David M. Morens, an epidemiologist at the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in 2006. “It killed more people than any war, any pandemic, the Black Death, AIDS, you can pick your terrible event.” The 1918 flu killed some 675,000 Americans, according to the CDC. It is estimated that one-third of the world’s population became infected with the virus. I want to know more about how people got through the worst of it. How did they cope with the loss of life on such an epic scale? The Covid-19 death toll in America stands at 560,000 and counting, gaining on the 1918 death toll. Now we are the witnesses. Our duty is to keep the records of this time, the data and the eyewitness accounts, our personal stories. Contemporaneous newspaper accounts, the first drafts of history, along with the remarkable scientific advances we have seen, will help us prepare for the next pandemic when it strikes.

Support the Mother Nature Bond Act

t the turn of the 20th century, environmental protection meant preserving wilderness so future generations might know nature as the great environmentalists Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir knew it — bountiful and largely pristine. Some 120 years later, saving wild tracts of land remains a central focus of the burgeoning environmental movement, but there’s an added mission: preparing for the eventuality of climate change, the slow heating of the earth over time. New York state took a major step forward recently when Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the Legislature included a $3 billion proposal, called the Restore Mother Nature Bond Act, in the state budget. Bravo to State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a Democrat from Long Beach, and Assemblyman Steve Englebright, a Democrat from Setauket, for working to push through this measure as chairmen of the Environmental Conservation committees in their respective chambers. State residents will vote on the bond act in the November general election. We’re throwing our hat in the ring early on this one: We encourage people to approve this measure. In addition to protecting forested lands, particularly those that help preserve our drinking water supply, the bond act would allocate at least $1 billion for projects to help protect Long Island and New York City from future flooding caused by global warming. More than half-century’s worth of scientific data, accumulated by federal agen-

cies like the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA, point to a disturbing, and increasingly undeniable, trend: The earth is heating up, causing massive ice shelves in the Antarctic and Greenland to melt into the oceans, raising sea levels across the world. That spells potential disaster for Long Island. We are, after all, an island surrounded by oceanic waters. We might be able to cope with a one-foot rise in sea level. If the oceans were to rise three or more feet — as many leading scientists predict — that could put whole swaths of our shoreline underwater, if we don’t act now to bolster our shoreline defenses. We can’t afford to stick our heads in the sand of our pristine white beaches and hope for the best. Those beaches may not exist in the future if we do. Beyond undertaking flood-mitigation projects, the bond act would allot up to $700 million for green-energy projects intended to slow the rate of global warming. Traditional power plants that burn coal, oil and natural gas emit massive amounts of carbon dioxide — the main driver of climate change — into the atmosphere. Green-energy sources — wind, solar and geothermal — emit nothing. That is, they are carbon-free. Green energy represents our future. Now, not later, is the time to begin transitioning to a carbon-free energy grid. There are sound reasons beyond fighting climate change to do so. Coal and oil were once plentiful resources in the United States, but not anymore. They may not have dried up yet, but every day that we

letters The joke was on my clients — and staff To the Editor: Re Randi Kreiss’s April Fools column “Dogs on Long Island get a leg up on Covid” (April 1-7): Obviously, Randi is a very persuasive and skilled writer. Also obviously, some people don’t read her columns to the end — or even very carefully. I’ve been practicing veterinary medicine for 27 years. Two Mondays ago — my regular day off — two of my staff members texted me, all upset. Two pet owners had called our office, insisting that they be able to pick up the new Covid vaccine for their dogs. My two young staff members were totally caught off guard by this demand, and told the owners that they had not heard of such a vaccine. The clients were irate, and yelled at them! They “deserved” and demanded the vaccine! The girls told them that they’d have to look into it, and in a panic, they looked it up on the internet — and found Randi’s column, which they didn’t read carefully or to the end, either. They forwarded it to me:

burn through our supply of fossil fuels brings us one day closer to the point of no return, when they will be used up for good. If we’re extracting an oil called bitumen from open-pit tar-sand mines in Canada — an extraordinarily labor-intensive, costly and environmentally damaging process — then we know we’re reaching the end of the fossil-fuel-as-king era. Our only alternative path, for now at least, is green energy. Finally, the bond act would allocate $550 million to improve drinking-water quality across the state. For decades, Long Island has struggled to maintain the quality of its drinking water. Our water is piped up from aquifers, pockets of fresh water hundreds of feet below ground. Most chemicals that we apply to or dump into the ground eventually make their way into the aquifers, from industrial degreasers and lawn herbicides to gasoline that spills from filling stations. Water is our most precious resource, yet so often in the past we have treated it as if it mattered not at all. In recent years, however, we have begun to focus on protecting our water resources, and the bond act would only further efforts to preserve our aquifers. We can look around the world and see example after example of environmental disaster. We know this: Once we have made a mess of the natural world, it’s really hard to clean it up. Working proactively to preserve the environment is always best, and the Restore Mother Nature Bond Act, if passed, would do exactly that.

opinions

assau County recently announced that it finished 2020 with a surplus of $75 million (subject to some adjustment, but it’s a reasonable number to work with). Sounds like good news, right? Not so fast. Let’s look behind this news. The surplus came about because $99 million of a $103 million federal grant to the county was used for salaries instead of increased Covid19 testing, aid to schools affected and other such pandemic-related expenses, for HowarD which the money was intended. kopeL How many people might have been saved had that been done? The county administration recently forced, with the help of the Nassau Interim Finance Authority, a refinancing of Nassau’s debt, claiming, against evidence, that the county would soon be insolvent without such action, with a projected year-end deficit of $385 million. The administration and NIFA insisted as late as last November that the refinancing and additional borrowing were critical, because sales taxes were

projected to decline 20 percent for the year. I pointed out at the time that such a decline was virtually impossible, given that, up until then, we had experienced a decline of about 8 percent, the economy was improving, and a virtual collapse of the entire economy would be required for us to drop 20 percent. I was right, and even conservative. The final number was about 5 percent. Besides the $75 million 2020 surplus, 2019 finished with a $112 million unrestricted/available surplus. However, NIFA said that unless the Legislature agreed to a refinance, it would reject our budget and initiate draconian service cuts. But wait, there’s more! The resulting refinance provides about $435 million in cash for the county. Understand that this isn’t a savings, but rather represents new borrowing and deferment of some payments into the future. In fact, in a record-low-interest environment, we actually borrowed at a higher rate than the original borrowed-money portion of the financing. That was irresponsible on the part of the administration, not to mention on the part of NIFA, which, ironically, was created to force financial

he county will soon be swimming in money, at least in the short term.

Letters “Read this!” Panic! So I read it — and I laughed. “Project Woof Speed” — Ha! Free trip to Buffalo — Ha! And so many other funny things as well! I screen-shot the last paragraph, used an app to circle it in red and texted it back to my girls. They felt so silly! What was worse was that they regretted not knowing about the column first so they could have been weaponized against those crazy calls and getting yelled at for not knowing anything about this vaccine that was the clients’ “right” to have! How they would’ve loved to calmly respond, “Please read the article to the end.” As the kids say, “SMH. Shaking My Head.” Randi’s a funny lady. DR. KAReN LISS Merrick

Brinton uses familiar talking points on guns To the editor: Re Scott Brinton’s April 1-7 column, “Dear politicians: Get your act together on gun control”: Brinton repeats

responsibility on the county. Finally, the federal government recently passed a new coronavirus pandemic relief bill, scheduled to provide Nassau County with an additional $397 million. I, and others in the Legislature’s Republican majority, pointed to the likelihood of this relief to NIFA at the time, but NIFA officials refused to account for this possibility, insisting on the refinance. The bottom line of all of this is that the county will soon, at least in the short term, be virtually swimming in new money available to spend — more than $1 billion, by my calculations. I will insist that this spending be done responsibly, and not simply be used to support the administration’s re-election campaign this fall. But what would “responsibly” look like? I don’t have to point out to anyone living or working in Nassau County that real estate taxes are out of control, and in fact are the highest in the country for equivalently valued properties. The recent reassessment conducted by the administration has resulted in tax increases for about 65 percent of homeowners, which will keep growing over the next few years as they are phased in. Finally, Nassau County has a huge over-

hang of refund payments due to homeowners and business property owners — full disclosure, this includes me and other family members, along with many thousands of others — going back many years, resulting from previous overassessments. These cannot be put off indefinitely. They are obligations of the county, bear much higher interest than county bonds and must eventually be paid, with interest. I propose that we use a major portion of the newly available money to finally clear the decks, to the extent possible, of refunds to property owners. This would have several tremendous benefits. First, during a period of depressed business and lower earnings because of Covid-19, it would provide a welcome source of funds for many people and small businesses that desperately need it. At the same time, it would use the newly borrowed, relatively cheap, funds to clear up other high-interest-bearing obligations of the county, and improve its finances going forward. That would result in lower costs in the future and, we would hope, help to slow or stop the growth of real estate taxes that are increasingly a burden that many cannot afford. Howard J. Kopel, a Republican from Lawrence who represents Nassau County’s 7th Legislative District, is deputy presiding officer of the Legislature.

Framework by Joe Abate

the threadbare rhetoric of the Democratic Party in its efforts to disarm honest American citizens. Telling the big lie over and over again doesn’t make it a fact. In 2017, according to FBI statistics, more homicides were committed with hammers and blunt instruments than rifles. That would be all kinds of rifles. Brinton did not mention this. I also wonder if Brinton consulted the National Rifle Association or the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association before writing his piece. Perhaps he would have gotten a more balanced view. I fear that he did not. JAMeS G. CoLLINS Floral Park Collins is Long Island director of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association. In 2017, homicides by blunt instruments exceeded homicides by rifle in the United States, 467 to 403, according to the FBI. That same year, homicides by all forms of gun (handguns, rifles, shotguns and other firearms) numbered 10,982. A full accounting can be found on the FBI’s website at bit. ly/3taPkkC.
