Five Towners are making Memorial Day parade plans By maTTHew Ferremi mferremi@liherald.com

In another sign that life in the Five Towns is returning to normal, villages and organizations are making plans to hold Memorial Day parades later this month. After being canceled last year because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Cedarhurst-Lawrence parade is tentatively scheduled for May 31,

beginning at 10 a.m. According to Cedarhurst mayor Benjamin Weinstock, the parade will step off at Frost Lane in Lawrence. “We’ll be marching down Central Avenue to Cedarhurst,” Weinstock said. “We will then go to [Andrew J. Parise Cedarhurst Park] and have a short program at the park, where we will have a couple of speeches. We will be doing the things we normally

do in memory of the American soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice.” Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, is a time to remember the men and women who died serving in the U.S. military. The holiday was first officially celebrated after the Civil War, on May 30, 1868. New York had been the first state to observe Decoration Day two years earContinued on page 14

In an election that featured seven candidates running for the Board of Education, the HewlettWoodmere School District’s proposed budget passed Tuesday night, and five candidates were either re-elected to the school board or elected for the first time. Incumbent Trustee Judy Menashe was re-elected, with 1,546 votes. Dr. Jon Altus, who last served on the board in 2018 was elected again, with 1,460 votes. Francois Tenenbaum was elected for the first time and was the top vote getter, with 1,796. Each will serve a full three-year term. Shari Amitrano was elected for the first time, with 1,460 votes. Board president Debra Sheinin was re-elected, garnering 1,406. Amitrano and Sheinin will serve a two-year and a oneyear term, completing the terms of Paul Critti and Daniella Simon, both of whom moved out of the district earlier in the school year. Sheinin, Menashe, Altus, Amitrano and Tenenbaum all ran together. The proposed budget of $129.36 million passed with a vote of 1,589 to 1,009. It is $2.48 million, and 1.95 percent, larger than the current spending plan. The tax levy also increased by

1.95 percent. The Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library budget of just under $6.6 million passed, 1,609 to 904. The proposed tax levy is $6.4 million North Woodmere resident Ellen Vaknine was elected to the board in an uncontested race. She will serve a five-year term. In the Lawrence School District, the $102.49 million budget was approved. Incumbent Trustee Heshy Blachorsky defeated Asher Matathias, incumbent Abel Feldhamer ran unopposed, and both secured three-year terms. Propositions 3 and 4 were approved. The district can now establish building capital reserve funds for $5 million each for projects ranging from classroom renovations to heating, ventilation and air conditioning system installations. Approval of Proposition No. 5 allows the district to buy the residential property at 287 Mott Ave. in Inwood for up to $400,000 to create a multi-sport area for the Lawrence Primary School at the Number Two School. No parking would be added to the already existing 94 spaces. The play area would be geared to children ages 5 to 12 and could be used by kids 2 to 12. The Peninsula Public Library budget of $3.1 million passed. Write-in candidate Akiva Lubin won a five-year term, as Trustee Jeb Leb is stepping down.

Cleaning up 175 Roger Ave. in Inwood mferremi@liherald.com

Inwood residents and other interested parties might be paying more attention to Flag Day on June 14 than usual as that is the date that the public comment period on the cleanup plans for the nearly 5-acre site that once housed a sheet metal fabrication factory at 175 Roger Ave. in Inwood will close. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is accepting written comments about the proposed plan, called a “draft Remedial Action Work Plan” at the site for 45 days. The comment period began on April 28. Some of the details of the proposed remedial plan include removing underground storage tanks and drywells; excavation and off-site disposal of approximately 2,600 tons of contaminated soil, fill and source material; importing clean material that meets the established soil cleanup objectives for use as backfill and to established required grade. State DEC Public Information Officer Kevin Frazier said that the chemicals tetrachloroethene known as PCE and trichloroethene commonly called TCE were found in the groundwater at levels surpassing water quality standards. There were also higher than usual levels of metals such as cadmium, chromi-

THE sTATE DEC is taking public comments for a plan to clean up the hazardous materials that seeped into the ground at 175 Roger Ave. in Inwood. um, lead and mercury. “Based on the findings of the investigation, NYSDEC in consultation with the NYSDOH has determined that the site poses a significant threat to public health or the environment,” Frazier wrote in an email. “This decision is based on the nature of the existing contaminations

identified at the site and the potential for human exposure to site- related contaminants via soil vapors. Sheet metal fabrication began at the site in 1961. From roughly 1971 to 1987, Rockaway Metal Products used the property. When the company left, it was discovered that the company had disposed of

and improperly stored hazardous waste material. In 1993, the federal Environmental Protection Agency conducted what is called an emergency removal action and removed the barrels of waste. The site currently lies vacant after the 155,000-square foot, one story building was demolished in 2018. Current applicants Inwood 175 LLC and AJM Capital II LLC bought the property from Nassau County in 2019. It has drawn the ire of residents and local officials in the past, describing the site as an “eyesore.” Inwood resident Barry DeGroot has clear sight of the building from his home on Bayview Avenue. “This site has been a problem for the past 30 plus years,” DeGroot said. “People in the past have dumped their trash at the location and I hope that doesn’t happen again in the future when it is cleaned up.” Public comments can be directed to John Sheehan, Project Manager at NYSDEC, (631) 444-0244. He can be reached via email at John.Sheehan@dec.ny.gov. Current documents on the site can be found online at, Index of /data/DecDocs/ C130164 (ny.gov) and at Peninsula Public Library, 280 Central Ave. in Lawrence.

Amazon is coming to Woodmere By JEFFREY BEssEN jbessen@liherald.com

Amazon, the ubiquitous ecommerce company that has sent items to homes and businesses across the globe, is headed to Woodmere as part of a lease agreement with the Town of Hempstead. The 422,000-square-foot warehouse will be built and owned by JFK Logistics Center LLC, an affiliate of Wildflower Ltd., a New York City development firm led by managing partner Adam Gordon. It is expected to be the largest of the Amazon warehouses on Long Island. Wildflower has a relationship with Amazon leasing warehouse space to the ecommerce giant that is two full city blocks in size in Brooklyn, according to Gordon. In 2019, JFK Logistics received permission from the New York State Department of Conversation to originally build a three-story, 233,234-square-foot building on the 10.71-acre parcel at 253-51 Rockaway Blvd. Gordon said the warehouse will be three stories but has now nearly doubled in size as it will include parking structure on top of the building. “Wildflower is Amazon’s most active economic developer in the city,” Gordon said, noting that because of a non-disclosure agreement with Amazon, he could not speak on the project’s details. Roughly one mile from John F. Kenne-

THE 422,000-squARE-FooT WAREHousE that will be an Amazon delivery station looms over the Five Towns Shopping Center. dy International Airport in Queens the site was previously a long-term parking lot for the airport. It is adjacent to the Five Towns Shopping Center and a Lowe’s Home Improvement store. A portion of the site’s parking lot is in Rosedale, Queens. Granted economic development incentives by the town, the warehouse will serve as what is called a “last-mile delivery facility,” for Amazon. Delivery stations such as these are part of the last

mile of Amazon’s order process and help speed up deliveries for customers. Packages are shipped to a delivery station from Amazon fulfillment and sortation centers, then delivered to customers. “The jobs it will create to distribute products throughout the region will provide opportunities for our residents and help Long Island recover from the pandemic,” Town Supervisor Don Calvin stated in a news release. The delivery station is expected to bring at least 50 full-

time-equivalent jobs within two years of its completion, officials said. Approved in April 2020 and finalized in October includes a 15-year PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) agreement and exemptions from mortgage recording and sales taxes, town officials said. It is expected to open at the end of this year. A one-time payment of $250,000 will be made to the Lawrence School District. Lawrence of ficials had originally opposed the initial 20-year PILOT plan, saying the school district would lose millions in tax dollars. “This property as a parking lot generated minimal taxes for the town and school district,” Frederick Parole, CEO of the town’s Town of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency said in the release. “Now, it will be put to better use and provide tremendous economic benefits and employment opportunities.” Amazon’s other Long Island sites are in Bethpage and Shirley, with a new delivery stations coming to Carle Place. “We are excited to continue to invest in New York with a new Woodmere delivery station that will provide efficient delivery for customers, and create job opportunities with highly competitive pay, benefits starting on the first day of employment, and training programs for indemand jobs,” Amazon spokeswoman Jenna Hilzenrath wrote in an email.

Woodmere resident brings cheer to Holocaust survivors In the Five Towns Holocaust survivors, many of whom have been confined to their homes over the past year because of the coronavirus pandemic, could be enduring a toll on their mental health. Leora Brandsdorfer, a Woodmere resident and Torah Academy for Girls student, asked her parents for help with her bat mitzvah chesed (kindness) project to hopefully bring much needed joy to dozens of survivors. “It’s so refreshing to see young people get involved in chesed, these are lessons they will take for them for the rest of their lives,” said her father, Moshe Brandsdorfer, the executive director of the Jewish Community Council of the Rockaway Peninsula.

during the season were invited to compete in this selective event. The tournament was attended by students from 13 schools, including Central, DRS, Flatbush, HAFTR, Katz (FL), Lynbrook, Ma’ayanot, MTA, Rambam, Ramaz, SAR, SKA and TABC. This unique event allows students to assume our elected officials’ responsibilities and attempt to address our nation’s most pressing issues while honing their argumentative and public-speaking abilities. Students debated mock legislation on controversial issues, including sentencing juveniles as adults, regulating rent-to-own transactions, minimum wage, animal testing in cosmetics, the Covid-19 Task Force, equal opportunity in schools and voting rights for felons. Before the tournament, HAFTR competitors, under astour the guidance of Coach Alexander Libkind, researched and analyzed the proposed legislation’s benefits and weaknesses in preparation for the speeches, questions, and deliberations. Two judges per round ranked each student’s performance. Sophomore Kira Seidel and me placed second. Senior Daniel Singer and junior Devorah Gottesman finished fourth and junior Hannah Goldenberg and freshman Kaitlyn Pollack took fifth place. The efforts made by HAFTR competitors clearly paid off, as evident by their impressive performances. Competing in the last tournament of my high school career, I realized how fundamental Debate and Model Congress have been in shaping me as a person. In these past four years, I have honed my critical thinking skills and grown into a more persuasive, confident and effective communicator, instilled with an expanded worldview, a passion for politics and a voice to effect positive change in the world. Congratulations to the winners and the competitors who qualified for this event for their hard work, enthusiasm, and dedication. The HAFTR team is looking forward to next year’s season, which is sure to be just as competitive and passion-filled.

HAFTR High School has continued to sustain its wide array of clubs, teams and student activities, integral components of the HAFTR High experience. Students have been exceptionally creative and successful in maintaining the activities in a safe manner. Students made an impressive showing in this year’s Al Kalfus Long Island Math Fair. The math fair offered students an opportunity to explore a specific topic outside the realm of the traditional required math courses. Students adapted to the virtual format by recording their presentations and submitting their research papers electronically. Eight HAFTR students were awarded medals for their sophisticated work. Senior Gabriel Kurlander and junior Ethan Rabinowitz received gold medals; juniors Devorah Gottesman, Lulu Morse, and ordana Emily Vaysman earned silver medals; senior Matthew Mizrahi and juniors Shirly Gottlieb and Luca Lemberger received bronze medals. The students were mentored by Matthew Alt, chair of the high school’ math department. Congratulations to all on their outstanding research! The robotics team competed in the Center for Initiatives in Jewish Education Vex Robotics League competition, including more than 20 schools across the tri-state area. After months of designing, building and programming the robots with original code, students tested their abilities at the exciting event on April 26. The competition involved the robots lifting Vex balls and placing them in hoops. Senior Tanchum Yonk earned the high score for his team. Senior Jacob Weinstein and junior Shirly Gottlieb earned the high score for their team. Though the competition’s final results are not yet available, the students displayed extraordinary success in their initiative, creativity and collaboration. HAFTR High hosted the first-ever Varsity Model Congress Invitational on April 21, for the highest achieving competitors of the South Shore Speech & Debate League.

Courtesy Harrison family

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Not one to stand still and let grass grow under his feet, unless he was playing golf at the Seawane Country Club in Hewlett Harbor, John Harrison was constantly on the go, as the Woodsburgh resident built not one, but two businesses in the course of his working life. Harrison, a lifelong Five Towns resident, died on April 24. Two days shy of his 76th birthday. Born in on April 26, 1945 in New York City, to Jordan Stern and Joan Sabel Stern, he was adopted by his step-father, Harold Harrison in 1957, three years after his father died. Harrison, Hewlett High School class of 1964, met Carol Kerr during that time. The couple wed a few years later and were married for 52 years. He headed Harrison, Leifer DiMarco, a company that at one time was based in Rockville Centre, was named one of the 25 fastest growing advertising and public relations firms on Long Island in 1999 and seven years later he won the 2006 Long Island Advertising Person of the Year Award. “He was incredibly motivated and always found room for one more chapter,” said daughter Pamela Harrison-Ludwick, noting his continuing work in advertising and helping businesses to establish their unique brand. Even after a four-decade career that included establishing the largest advertising, public relations and digital agency on Long Island with more than 60 accounts and employing 45 people, Harrison could

not stay out of the game. He and Debbie Darlnuc-Warrack established a branding business in 2011, The Brand Compound. Harrison spent “many fulfilled and happy hours with his family and fellow members” at the Seawane Club, HarrisonLudwick said. He served on the club’s Board of Directors and in various positions over a 25-year period. Harrison also served on the Board of Directors of Nichols College for 10 years and the Board of Advisors for 12 years. In 2012, he was a 13-handicap golfer and told Newsday how much he loved to workout, play tennis and golf but that none of that could bring him the daily fulfillment that he needed – the rewards of working, his daughter said. Above all, John cherished his relationship with people be it family, friends or business,” his family said. “He greatly enjoyed finding the sweet spot that made the relationship work. He was a sportsman and a bibliophile. He has left a legacy of love for all those that touched his life and he will be greatly missed,” Harrison-Ludwick said. A devoted husband, Harrison is survived by his wife Carol Kerr Harrison. He was a loving father to Pamela and Wendi. Future father-in-law to Gianfranco Arena. He was the cherished grandfather of Maximillian and Roland, Eleanor, Gianluca, Nicholas and Lily. Brother to Andrew and Susan Harrison. A devoted uncle to Joshua, Zachary and Scott, and a beloved brother-in-law to Michael and Susie Kerr and Jennifer Harrison.

Loose boat drifts into Bannister Creek in Lawrence Seven emergency units responded to what originally was an alert for an overturned boat near the Atlantic Beach Bridge at 9:30 a.m. on May 7, according to Atlantic Beach Rescue Assistant Chief Jonathan Kohan. “Upon further investigation it was ascertained that a sailboat had run aground inside Banniseter Creek,” Kohan told the Herald in an email. A search was conducted and it was discovered that the boat docked at the Lawrence Yacht & Country Club marina had broken away

from its anchor and was unoccupied, Nassau police said. It was then secured, Kohan said. The Coast Guard, the Fire Department of New York, and the Inwood, LawrenceCedarhurst and Long Beach fire departments, along with the Nassau County police aviation bureau were at the scene. One traffic lane was closed temporarily on the Nassau Expressway, the roadway was reopened. –Matthew Ferremi

Moments of relief In this time of constant stress and pressure, moments of genuine relief are few and far between. Yet, despite the overwhelming strain and anxiety modern life (and age-old problems) force upon us, there are frequent moments of relief we often overlook but should really embrace.

■ The ring doesn’t roll down the drain. ■ The in-laws approve. ■ The store is still open. ■ You don’t hit the squirrel.

Thus for example:

■ Everything said after you thought the call was over, was not recorded.

■ The spill doesn’t spill onto the carpet.

■ You were invited but cannot attend.

■ Your candidate wins.

■ The police car with siren and red lights coming up behind you…. speeds past.

■ The book-return isn’t locked. ■ The professor arrives two minutes later than you do. ■ The toothache doesn’t need root canal, nor does the kid need braces.

Lawrence village aquatic center is a no go By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Several important topics were discussed at the May 6 Lawrence village meeting, however the biggest news came after the meeting as the board of trustees decided against going ahead with the proposed aquatic center at the Lawrence Yacht & Country Club. The feedback received was slightly in favor of the project but support was not overwhelmingly, village officials said. Residents were asked to back a plan that would have at least 500 families paying $1,200 to $1,500 in annual membership dues. On May 7, the village sent out an email to 1,300 village households asking of they would support the anticipated $7 million construction of a 24,000-squarefoot building that would house a 2,900-square-foot junior Olympic swimming pool for year-round use, locker rooms, steam room, west and dry saunas and a whirlpool. Also planned was a fitness center, exercise gym and a kosher health bar and areas for dining inside and outside. A redesigned 12-booth golf driving range with three virtual golf bays was included. The money to build the aquatic center was coming from the $8.5 million sale of the nearly 4 acres of land on Rock Hall Road that formerly housed the now decommissioned sewage treatment plant. Lawrence’s five trustees also voted

Mayor Alex Edelman said that the comments “extremely urged the board to prohibit the sale of marijuana.” Also passed unanimously was a measure regarding rental units aimed at ensuring quality of life living in Lawrence. Members of the village’s Park Com-

mission and tennis players at the Lawrence Yacht & Country Club registered their unhappiness with the current condition of the club’s tennis area noting that the courts are unkempt and the patio furniture is deteriorating reasons for 40 people to drop their memberships and move on to other tennis venues, including the Atlantic Beach Tennis Center. Tammy Roz, a tennis member who

serves on the Park Commission, brought three options for the purchase of new furniture to the village board’s attention, which Edelman said the trustees would review. Drainage issues and maintenance of the nine Har-Tru courts are other problems that need to be resolved. On the golf side, the news is sunnier as golf course manager Cory Menking said that “membership is way up,” and expects it to “skyrocket in June and July” as life returns to more of a normal pace with coronavirus pandemic on the wane. Trustee Paris Popack said that plans to expand Zion Park are going out to bid. Up to three bids are expected on the plan to install security cameras in specific area within the village, officials said. Permit fees for food trucks was set with a $25 fee to submit an application, $300 for a license and $250 for a license renewal. Lawrence became one of the more than 3,400 communities nationwide that are a Tree City. Village Administrator Ron Goldman said that Lawrence can now receive funding to plant trees as part of urban forestry. Lawrence resident and current Board of Appeals member Ed Gottlieb will also serve on the tree committee. “[This] promises to be a resource that will replace many of the trees that were either cut down or destroyed by hurricanes or superstorms,” Gottlieb stated in an email.

No parking on Incinerator Road in Inwood By MATTHEW FERREMI mferremi@liherald.com

After numerous complaints of trucks clogging traffic by parking on the side of Incinerator Road in Inwood, State Sen. Todd Kaminsky (D-Long Beach) said in a news release that the issue should be alleviated. Kaminsky sent a letter to the state’s Department of Transportation in January requesting that a parking ban on the narrow street should be enforced. DOT officials installed “No Parking” signs in February and enforcement from the 4th Precinct has cleared the roadway’s shoulder of parked trucks. “Following requests from community members, my office reached out to the State Transportation Department to stop trucks from parking on this one-lane road,” Kaminsky said in a statement. “I was proud to have worked with my partners in government to get this hazardous situation alleviated.” Kaminsky had previously contacted DOT in 2018 expressing concerns about trucks being parked on the side of the Nassau Expressway, which is also known as State Route 878, between Rockaway Turnpike and Burnside Avenue, in Lawrence. A $130 million and roughly 14-month long expressway renovation project was completed in January 2020. Signs that read “No Parking” are now on the road. Trucks began parking on Incin-

Kenneth Graham, who owns The Garden Gallery on Bay Boulevard in Inwood, previously told the Herald that parking on the side of Incinerator Road has been an issue since the summer and he contacted Kaminsky’s office in the fall. “The removal of trucks from Incinerator Road will go a long way in easing traf-

fic and keeping the area safe,” Graham said. “I thank Senator Kaminsky for getting it done. His continued effort and support for the community is much appreciated.” The Garden Gallery is located off Incinerator and Graham said that the trucks parking on the side obscured the visibility of customers entering and exiting the store’s parking lot. Creating what

he described as a safety hazard. “The drivers would park on the side and at times flip the hood and start working on their trucks right in the street,” he said. “It’s a narrow two-lane road and drivers would have to go into the other lane just to avoid the trucks. I’m glad this has been addressed.”

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

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

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

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

THEIR FRONT-LINE STORIES IN THEIR OWN WORDS RANDY ROSNER

VALLEY STREAM Manager, King Kullen

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

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

HERALD HOMETOWN HERO

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

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

Five Towns Memorial Day parades to return continued from front page lier, when upstate Waterloo commemorated it on May 5, 1866. The community is federally recognized as the holiday’s birthplace. Weinstock said that Cedarhurst’s plans were still “in the works,” but he expected the parade to take place. “This is an outdoor event, and we have plenty of space to spread out and accommodate the people,” he said. “We felt that this can be a safe event for everybody. Masks and social distancing will be required.” The Village of Lawrence is a co-sponsor of the event, along with Cedarhurst and the Lawrence-Cedarhurst Fire Department. Lawrence Trustee Paris Popack has helped organize the parade in recent years, when she has served as president of the Lawrence Association. “The sacrifice that was made endures every year, and the benefits that we derive from those sacrifices continue every year and every day,” Popack said of the importance of Memorial Day. “There’s no end to the amount of gratitude we feel, and it gives us a chance to express our continued thanks to those who have sacrificed their lives to defend our nation, our families and freedom.” While attendance may not be close to the nearly 3,000 marchers and spectators who took part in or watched the 2019 parade, Popack said she hoped the attendance would approach that. “We need par-

Hewlett-Woodmere Business Association President David Friedman said that

details were still being finalized for the event, scheduled for May 30. “We filed the parade permit application with the Town of Hempstead, and we have a tentative approval from [Town Clerk] Kate Murray’s office,” Friedman wrote in an email. “[Hewlett-Woodmere] District 14 has started marching band practice authorization on April 19th. We’re waiting to hear if they will be

ready.” The Hewlett High School marching band plays in the parade each year. “Many people in the community have contacted our office and posted on the Facebook groups, to express their excitement about the possibility of the return of our Hewlett-Woodmere Memorial Day Parade,” Friedman wrote. “This is an annual event that brings our community together and we look forward to holding it.” In Inwood, details are being finalized for a parade that is tentatively scheduled for May 30, and would step off at the Inwood Long Island Rail Road station. David Hance, of the Inwood Civic Association, said he expected the parade to take place. “The Inwood Civic Association expects to participate in a Memorial Day march, and we’re looking into what options we have,” Hance said. “The parade is a tremendous source of pride for our community, and they always come out strong for our veterans. It’s just a great thing to have, and we’re hoping to get back to that.” Weinstock said that the parades would serve as an important sign of life getting back to normal. “There are so many towns and villages on Long Island that want to hold these parades,” he said. “This is a very important part of life on Long Island.”

Post-pandemic fitness

Get back to your routine sanely and safely

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

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

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

Ease back in

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

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

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

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

Take precautions so that the sun is friend not foe

NASSAU HERALD — May 13, 2021

Don’t let sunburn derail your fun

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

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

We Have Successfully Decannulated 23 Covid Survivors.

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

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

Prevent injuries as you return to exercise, sports this summer

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Get motivated to get going! “I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things … but I didn’t,” sighed Daisy. “My dad used to call me ‘Lazy Daisy.’ I hated the name, but I gotta admit, I do put off doing stuff – a lot.” “Like what,” I asked, curious why this 33-year-old woman who I viewed as popping with energy viewed herself as lazy. “Oh, all the things I should be doing, like paying bills, returning phone calls, putting stuff away.” “Those seem like tasks you don’t want to do,” I said. “You’re right,” she replied. “But I know they’ve got to be done. So why can’t I just get myself to do them, like it’s no big deal.” I stayed silent as Daisy seemed to be deep in thought. Suddenly with renewed excitement, she exclaimed, “You know sometimes I do have great spurts of energy. I get lots of things done – all the things I want to do! I’m like an express subway, racing full speed ahead.” Suddenly the sadness returned. “I admit, however, that I’m often a slow

subway, making stop after stop with some stops stopping me dead in my tracks.” She was still. Her face was strained. “I know I’ve missed out on so much in life. It’s not just the boring stuff I put off; it’s the stuff that scares me. Like now, I need to ask for a raise. I work for a doctor. I haven’t received a raise in five years. I deserve one; I’m very good with t h e p a t i e n t s. A n d h e knows it!” Her energy was retur ning. “I’ve always inda been an underachiever. I know I could do so much more, but I don’t push myself. And I resent anyone else pushing me.” I asked Daisy to imagine asking for a raise. “I am,” she said. “And I’m filled with dread. I don’t even like to think about it.” “But the only solution is to think about it,” I replied. “This time, how-

ever, close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Take another one. Now imagine approaching the doctor. As you do, you remember all the good things about yourself. You feel a sudden burst of positive energ y. This energ y is giving you the courage to s p e a k u p fo r yo u rself. Sure, you’re scared, but you’re also excited. You feel an adrenaline rush that comes from going after what you want a n d w h a t yo u k n o w you’re entitled to!” Daisy opened her eyes, stared at me, and said, apadin “I’ve got butterflies in my stomach just listening to you speak.” “That’s great,” I replied. “You’ve moved out of your Passive Zone and into your Active Zone. Use that active energy wisely and it’ll start an avalanche of good things! You’ll challenge yourself to do what you need to do. Sometimes, it’ll be those boring

Person to Person

tasks; sometimes it’ll be those frightening tasks. Rehearse and plan beforehand. Pump yourself up with positive thoughts. Then sur prise yourself as you notice how you’re confronting your challenges headon.” Daisy stretched her arms out over her head, reaching as high as the sky. She had a radiant smile on her face. “I’ve taken so long to conquer my fears,” she beamed. “It’s time now! No more being a slow, sluggish subway. From now on, my goal is to be an Amtrak Express, traveling at high speed from city to city!” ©2021 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author specializes in helping people overcome procrastination and debilitating anxiety and fear.

Quality Work At Reasonable Prices

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gotta get up, get out and do something bold

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

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

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

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

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

The many advantages of Covid-19 inoculation

ast year, the guidance we received from the government was straightforward: wear a mask, keep your distance from others and stay at home if you’re able. Now, with millions of people being vaccinated, there’s a two-tiered system of guidance — one for those who are fully vaccinated and one for those who are not, which can be a bit confusing. So, here it is in a nutshell. If you aren’t yet vaccinated, none of the government’s previous guidance has changed. You should still wear a mask at all times when in public and keep your distance, though the government is no longer saying stay at home at all times. Meanwhile, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people who have been fully vaccinated for at least two weeks can:

Copy Editor

■ Visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing.

■ Visit with unvaccinated people (includ-

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

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

letters Time to prioritize LIRR tunnel repair To the Editor: As our region recovers and reopens from the coronavirus pandemic, we need to ensure that our transportation infrastructure is up to the task. With more Long Islanders returning to work in Manhattan each week, it is imperative to ensure that we have the safe and dignified commutes we deserve. Key to that is fixing the East River tunnels — four tubes that connect Queens to Penn Station — that all Long Island Rail Road trains pass through. Superstorm Sandy flooded these tunnels with millions of gallons of saltwater that left them in a precarious state of disrepair. A report from the state comptroller found that the number of trains delayed or canceled because of problems stemming from the tunnels increased 72 percent after Sandy, accounting for a significant number of the railroad’s on-time performance problems. Yet Amtrak, which owns and operates the tunnels, has done nothing, preferring to wait until 2024 to tackle this critical issue. That is unacceptable — the time for action is now. It should not take a tragedy to fix these dilapidated tubes. I have called for Amtrak to repair the tunnels using “in-service refurbishment,” which would save commuters time and money. Rather than requiring a complete shutdown –– which is what Amtrak wants –– in-service refurbishment would mean repairs occur only at nights and on weekends. This technique isn’t a pipe

dream; it was used on the L train to complete that project early and under budget, while averting major service disruptions. Last Friday, the State Senate held a hearing on this issue, and I pressed Amtrak executives to act swiftly and harness this bold and aggressive strategy to deliver real results for commuters. As Long Islanders return to the LIRR, it’s time for Amtrak to prioritize New York. TODD KAMINSKY Senator, 9th District

‘Change the street, change the world’ To the Editor: The Herald’s Earth Day editorial, “L.I. is making strides on the environmental front” (April 22-28), noted encouraging progress in addressing three major environmental problems on Long Island. It rightly hailed remedial actions to clean up the Northrop Grumman toxic plume in Bethpage, an outfall pipe that spews fish-killing effluent into Reynolds Channel off Long Beach and the huge amounts of nitrogen fertilizer spread on golf courses and home lawns. The editorial did not, however, call for tar-

opinions

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

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

t is not enough, Lyndon Johnson said, just to open the gates of opportunity.

Letters geting a far greater source of pollution that threatens public health across Long Island, New York state, the U.S. and the planet. The environmental damage highlighted by the Herald is vastly exceeded by the toll taken by ever-increasing volumes of automobile traffic, and this destruction takes more forms than just the climate instability caused by burning fossil fuels. Cars pose immediate, daily threats to human life. Reckless driving resulted in 284 deaths in Nassau County in 2019 alone. Vehicle operators and passengers accounted for most of those fatalities, but crashes also killed several pedestrians and cyclists, including young children. Has this carnage become so commonplace that we have come to pay it no mind or view it as an inevitable byproduct of convenient transportation? Cars not only steal lives; they also squander the precious time we are given on this earth. The average Long Islander spends 81 hours a year — the equivalent of more than three full days — sitting in traffic, according to an April 8 report in Newsday. Then there is the ugliness of much of Long Island’s commercial landscape, the result of our car-dependent way of life. One road in Nassau looks a lot like most other roads across the county: a series of

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

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

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