Survivors recall the Holocaust A lesson HAFTR students won’t forget By lISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

The tragedy of the Holocaust continues to reverberate in the 21st century, as students at the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway Middle School took part in the Names, Not Numbers project and showed their videotaped interviews with survivors on June 2.

The oral history project was created in 2004, when Tova Fish-Rosenberg, director of the

Hebrew Language Department at Yeshiva University High School for Boys, in Manhattan, began documenting the Holocaust using firsthand survivor accounts. Rosenberg came to the HAFTR Middle School event last week.

The project pairs middle and high school students with Holocaust survivors, whom the students interview on video. Each interview is edited to create a Names, Not Numbers film.

“A side benefit of this project is that our students learn professional-grade filming techContinued on page 23

Bridging a memory and honoring Pete Sobol jbessen@liherald.com

The list of accomplishments and people Pete Sobol helped is too numerous to name in a story of this length, besides something would probably left out.

Sobol, died on Feb. 3, 2022 at 64, but left a lasting legacy that extends from being Inwood’s unofficial mayor, a local businessman, the founder of both Christmas Dream (raising money, buying toys for kids in need) and one of the organizers of the Inwood 5K, with proceeds going to scholarships for local graduating high school seniors heading to college.

On Monday, roughly 40 people gathered by the Seagirt Boulevard overpass — an area well known to Sobol who was usually out mowing the grass on the Nassau Expressway medians — to honor him by naming it the Peter V Sobol Memorial Bridge.

“It’s very touching,” said brother Michael Sobol, who was in business with Pete for roughly 30 years.

“He was in Inwood for over 30 years and it was like a big family that he wanted to take care of. It’s very touching.”

Cedarhurst resident Syd Mandelbaum, who runs the charity organization and poverty think tank Rock and Wrap It Up!, added to the list of achievements noting that Sobol donated to the Sid Tanenbaum Basketball Tournament, helped passed the state’s Bottle Act to aid the environment, distributed food and water to day workers, and turkeys to those in need, helped to establish Gammy’s Food Pantry with Sasha Young in the Five Towns Community Center in Lawrence, where he also served as a board member, president of the board and interim executive director.

Mandelbaum highlighted how Sobol and he advocated to help get the federal Food Donation Act in 2008 passed. “It was the fastest act to go through Congress, feeding all of America because Pete,” Mandelbaum said, adding that several years later a similar act was passed in New York with the help of State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, who represents the Five Towns.

Kaminsky and now Town of Hempstead Councilwoman Melissa “Missy” Miller partnered on getting a law passed to name the overpass in Sobol’s honor.

“After Pete’s untimely passing it became unfathomable to us that someone who lived in this community or passed through this community would not know who Pete Sobol was or the work he had done,” Kaminsky said.

He recounted the story that one hot summer day, Kaminsky and his wife, Ellen, saw Sobol watering the plants along the expressway medians and Ellen said, “Why does he do that? Was he sentenced to community serve?” and Kaminsky said, “No, that’s Pete Sobol, that’s what he does.”

Miller said that it was an honor to do this because of who Sobol was. “He did everything and anything to make his community better, to make people safer, to make sure people did not go without,” she said, noting his humility. “If he knew of somebody who needed something he was there figuring out how to get what they needed.”

Both Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who knew Sobol for many years and represented a portion of the Five Towns as a town councilman before being elected county executive last November, and County Legislator Carriè Solages also noted Sobol’s community service.

Inwood Unity Day returns on Saturday, June 11 By lEtIShA DASS ldass@liherald.com

Inwood Unity Day will be returning this year on June 11, after a decade. Originally Unity Day for seniors at the Five Towns Community Center in Lawrence, the celebration includes a car show, vendors, games, dancing, and outdoor fun for all.

Separate from Inwood Day held at the center in August, the last Unity Day, according to Sasha Young, one of the organizers and the center’s youth services coordinator, was held in 2012. After encouragement from the Five Town’s senior members, Young decided to bring back the celebration.

“I'm trying to bring it back,” she said. “It's something that had gone on at the center years ago. So, we decided we're trying to revamp activities for the seniors.”

She added that the purpose of the festivity is to bring the diverse community of the Five Towns together once again, especially after Covid and having seen many families move in and out of the area.

“We want to just kind of unite everyone back together,” Young said, “and let everyone see that we’re still here and start to build those friendships and relationships and fun times back again.”

Byron Alvardo Valiente, an Inwood resident for 22 years and a center board member, said that the “center is for the people” and continues to help people in need.

There will be no charge for tickets to attend. Crafts for children and entertainment are covered by the community center. “Everything's free,” he said. “We don't charge for anything. We pay for everything.”

Most of the fundraising for the event came from the community center’s fundraising. Valiente added that sometimes they asked Five Towns businesses for support and donations. “We used to go outside into stores and tell

INwooD UNItY DAY, on Sunday, will be held for the first in 10 years. them to support us,” Valiente said.

Gammy’s Pantry, where Young is the director, Acosta and Bran Families, Alvarado Family, La Familia Cadillac Club, which will be conducting the car show, and Prima Oasta helped sponsored Unity Day for this year.

“We fundraise and we rely on people in the neighborhoods that have businesses that understand the importance of the work we're doing with our youth advocacy group,” Young said. “And they're always very eager to want to chip in and try to help out.”

There will be a raffle for guests to purchase as well as vendors from restaurants and businesses in the Five Towns. Religious organizations are welcomed to share news of their congregation. “We want to just make it like a day for everyone to come out,” Young said.

With June being pizza month, the Pizza Dance Foundation, founded by Tony Modica in 1999, will be present at Unity Day as well for live performances and to have the community join in the “Pizza Dance,” which Modica created.

Through song and dance, Kathleen Leon, administrator of the Pizza Dance Foundation, said the foundation’s goal is “to bring love, peace, and unity to all.”

The foundation collaborated with the community center last year for Inwood Day. Leon added that she was inspired by last year’s festivities, the Five Town’s diverse community, and was eager to join in Unity Day as well.

“We were so inspired by it. It was such a great, diverse day that everybody just got along,” Leon said. “We like to bring people together. So, we're bringing our community to their community.”

This year Leon will be performing cover songs, alongside Modica who will be leading his “Pizza Dance.”

The Five Towns Community Center is at 270 Lawrence Ave in. Lawrence.

Uncontested elections in four villages By lISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

Incumbents running for re-election in Hewlett Bay Park, Hewlett Harbor, Hewlett Neck and Woodsburgh are running unopposed in the June 21 elections.

Hewlett Bay Park incumbent Trustees Gail Rubel and Antonio Olivero and Mayor Alex Salomon are running for two-year terms. Incumbent Trustee Renee Zylberberg is running for a one-year term and Village Justice Stephanie Kaufman is running for a four-year term.

Rubel, a Hewlett High School alumnus, grew up in the village. Though she left in 1980 to attend college and law school, she returned to the village in 2003.

Rubel’s father was a long-time member of the village zoning board. “I thought I too should fulfill my civic duty for the village so [I] became a trustee in 2013,” she wrote in an email. Rubel plans to keep fulfilling that civic duty as trustee — a title that she has held consecutively since 2013.

Salomon, a village resident since 1996, has served on the village board for 26 years —as a trustee, as deputy mayor and mayor. He believes “that every individual should play an active role in the community he or she resides in,” he wrote in an email, and added that it is a privilege to live in Hewlett Bay Park.

He is committed to the community’s future. “We owe it to the next generation to hand them over a highly desired, diversified community,” Salomon wrote, “living in harmony where all residents are proud of its history and heritage.”

Zylberberg, a Five Towns resident since 1986, has lived in the village since 2013. Former mayor, Steve Kaufman, had asked her to become involved previously, however life — from raising her children or caring for ill parents — imposed.

Kaufman moved out of the village this year. Salomon became the mayor and his trustee seat opened up. Salomon asked Zylberberg if she would join the board. “The time was just right,” Zylberberg said. She was appointed in April.

Zylberberg said she has always been interested in what is happening in her community and thinks that she can make a difference, and believes her experience as an attorney gives her a skill set which aids her service on the board.

Stephanie Kaufman and Olivero did not respond to comment before the Herald went to press.

In Hewlett Harbor, Mayor Mark Weiss and incumbent Trustees Thomas Cohen and Kenneth Kornblau are running for twoyear terms.

Kornblau, a Hewlett Harbor resident since 1993, became involved with the board in 2002 on different project committees and, after serving on those committees for five years, became a trustee in 2007.

He said he serves on the board as his way of giving back to the community and help ensure that the village “thrives,” he said, through hardships such as Hurricane Sandy and Covid.

Because of his background in real estate and law, along “with the complementary skill sets,” Kornblau said, of fellow trustees, the village board has been successful and the village has remained “one of the friendliest and most tranquil and beautiful in the world.”

Weiss, a Hewlett Harbor resident since 1994, became a trustee in 2004. He became mayor three years later. Weiss pointed to the village improvements under his administration, including infrastructure upgrades, improved security, paving roads and mitigating flooding. He is “determined, over the next two years,” Weiss said, to work with the board to preserve the village

and keep it appealing to new families.

Cohen did not respond to comment before the Herald went to press.

Hewlett Neck incumbent Trustees Aron Schnell and Moshe Blinder, along with Mayor Ross Epstein, are running for twoyear terms. Incumbent Village Justice Brett Cooper is running for a four-year.

Blinder, a Hewlett Neck resident for five years, has been on the board for two years and enjoys “the civic responsibility of helping our village and its residents,” he wrote

NASSAU HERALD — June 9, 2022

Lifelong journalist Phillip Ritzenberg, 90

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

H i s u n ive r s i t y l e c t u r e s we r e acclaimed that promotional posters contained only one line: “What would Phil Do?” Ritzenberg also co-founded the Society for Newspaper Design. He received the organization’s lifetime achievement award in 2008. He applied his design eye to create numerous collages.

“Phil’s work as a design editor also led him to the artistic discipline of collage,” Jeremy wrote. “Working with various design elements, found objects and newspaper scraps to create countless work of collage, including collages which have been featured in shows at various local venues and which continue to be displayed.”

He is survived by the love of his life, Edith “Edna” Ritzenberg, sons Jonathan and Jeremy, daughter-in-law Jill Scirpo, grandchildren Jack and Julia, sister Betty Davis and brother Robert Ritz.

Ritzenberg was accorded full military honors during a memorial service at Boulevard-Riverside Chapel in Hewlett on May 29.

At 90 Phillip Ritzenberg still had a full head of jet black hair and was swinging a sledgehammer to split firewood outside his Woodmere home. Later he felt a pain that was diagnosed as cancer.

The lifelong journalist died on May 26, 2022. He was just a few weeks shy of his 91st birthday.

Born in Cleveland on June 22, 1931 to Jack and Gertrude Ritzenberg, he began his ink-stained career early working in his father’s print shop. “Helping set block type by hand and otherwise learning how to put words into print,” his son, Jeremy Ritzenberg wrote, who called his father “the consummate newspaperman.”

The academically rooted Ritzenberg graduated from Case Western Reserve in 1953 and earned a Fulbright scholarship and studied at the University of Berlin from 1953 to ‘54. He had enlisted in the Navy while at Case and after his studies served his country starting as an ensign and leaving as a full lieutenant on the USS Midway aircraft carrier. Ritzenberg was also an intelligence reserve officer out of Floyd Bennett Field. Promoted to commander in 1967 he retired from the Naby six years later.

From his college newspaper to the Cleveland Press, the World Telegram and Sun, World Journal Tribune, Ritzenberg then joined the New York Daily News where he led the conversation from hand-set hot lead to computerized typesetting before being promoted to assistant managing editor in charge of the paper’s design.

In 1955, when his ship docked in Cape Town, South Africa, Phil’s future wife, Edna Heneck, appeared at the ship for a tour. After two days together there, they exchanged letters for a year before Phil hitchhiked Navy planes to meet Edna in Naples, Italy where they married. First stop was the Norfolk naval base, onto Cleveland and then Woodmere, where the couple settled, raised two sons and were together for 66 years. Congregation Sons of Israel, where he served as president, and Congregation Beth El, both in Woodmere, were their synagogues.

Ritzenberg left the Daily News to become the publisher of Jewish Week in 1982. Applying what Jeremy called “the high jour nalistic standards honed through his career,” he transformed that publication. A decade later, he turned to in independent consulting redesigning newspapers and conducting workshops across North America from New York to Saskatchewan and many more in between. Ritzenberg also did design work for Herald Community Newspapers.

Hurricane season is here — even for L.I. Busy forecast means at least one storm could make way north

By BRENDAN CARPENTER bcarpenter@liherald.com

It may not seem so, but the hurricane season has already started. And it’s forecast to be quite a busy one.

In fact, expect as many as 21 named storms this season, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, indicating a higher-thanaverage number of storms that reach at least tropical storm strength this year.

And it’s more than likely at least one of them could make their way to Long Island in some form or another.

The time to prepare is now, according to the American Red Cross, who joined local and county officials on the Long Beach boardwalk last week — nearly a decade since Hurricane Sandy devasted the area.

“What an appropriate location to help get the message out about the importance of being prepared for hurricane season,” said Stacey Sweet, a Red Cross board member. “It takes just one storm to seriously disrupt and devastate our communities. The need to get our friends, families and neighbors ready has never been more important than it is right now.”

The Long Island chapter of the Red Cross has been doing its part to get ready, its director, Joe Spaccarelli, told reporters. That includes updated response plans developed with local first responders, as well as staff training and exercises, all while replenishing relief supplies across Long island.

But the best preparation starts at home, with people ensuring their friends, families and neighbors are prepared for major storms. Everyone should have an evacuation plan in case they need to leave or are separated from their families, Spaccarelli said, as well as an emergency kit and at least one gallon of water per person per day.

The kits, he added, should contain nonperishable food, a flashlight, a battery-powered radio, a first-aid kit, hygiene items, medications, a cellphone charger, extra cash, and copies of important papers.

It’s also imperative to stay up to date on weather-related orders from local officials, Spaccarelli said, which can be found in the Red Cross’ emergency smartphone app, which provides users with real-time weather alerts and tips.

“We certainly know here in this community that all it takes is one storm,” said Jackie Bray, commissioner of the state’s homeland security and emergency services division. “But we’re also seeing more frequent and more intense weather events, and particularly tropical weather.”

There were 21 named storms — with sustained winds of at least 39 mph — in the most recent hurricane season, which ended last November, making it the thirdmost active year on record, according to NOAA. Seven of them became hurricanes, four deemed major.

This year’s season is predicted to be much of the same.

Joe Abate/Herald photos

MEMBERs of AMERiCAN Red Cross were joined by local officials for a hurricane-preparedness news conference in Long Beach last week. This year’s storm season is expected to be as busy as 2021’s, meaning some of that havoc could reach Long Island.

Getting your kit together Surviving a storm means ensuring you have everything you need in case your access to essentials like electricity and water are cut off.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommends including the following items in a basic disaster supply kit: ■ Water ■ Food ■ Battery-powered or hand-cranked radio JoE sPACCARElli, ThE director of American Red Cross on Long Island, says preparation begins at home, bolstered by emergency kits filled with all the essentials to help get a family through a storm.

“That means for us at the state, that we need to lean forward and do everything we can to have active, engaged, daily, robust work communications and preparedness planning with all of our localities and all of our counties,” Bray said.

And there are “three things to know” if a storm hits, she added. One is to know your risk — whether streets are flooded or if a storm surge will hit. Second is to make a plan, which should include a “go bag” with water and medications so no one is “scrambling for the items you need” when the storm hits.

And lastly, Bray said, it’s important to stay informed with local news and weather “so we’re ready.”

When Sandy hit Long Island in October 2012, it was the strongest storm that season, moving President Barack Obama to declare a “major disaster” in the area.

More than 13,000 U.S. flights were canceled, and power and transportation systems in New York state sustained damage upward of $18 billion.

While some might call Sandy a oncein-a-lifetime kind of storm, Long Beach city council vice president Liz Treston says the lessons we learned from that hurricane shouldn’t be forgotten as we prepare for 2022. She shared what she called the “four C’s” — “community, collaboration, cooperation and, most importantly, communication.”

Curtain rises on ‘The Color Purple’ Award-winning musical gets its Long Island debut

By MICHAEL MALASZCZYK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com

A

mong the many success stories illustrating Long Island’s comeback from the pandemic is Plaza Theatrical Productions. A longtime community theatre stalwart, it went professional last year, with its new division, Plaza Broadway Long Island — all of it under the steady hand of Kevin Harrington, not only Plaza’s producer and director, but also its founder.

Operating under a union contract with Actor’s Equity Association, Harrington is focused on bringing professional Broadway-level productions — accompanied by a live orchestra — to their theater, located at the Elmont Memorial Library on Hempstead Turnpike.

The inaugural season of Nassau County’s first ELLISHA MArIE Equity theater included the RodSofia in gers and Ham‘The Color Purple’ merstein classic “South Pacific” presented this past October. Now audiences can get a look at “The Color Purple,” making its Long Island premiere.

The fast-paced musical — which runs through June 12 — is a story of hope, a testament to the healing power of love, and is a celebration of life. The score features a variety of musical genres like jazz, ragtime, gospel and blues.

Based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prizewinning novel — itself turned into the heavily Oscar-nominated 1985 film from Steven Spielberg film — “The Color Purple” it is an inspiring family saga that tells the unforgettable story of a woman who, through love, finds the strength to triumph over adversity and discover her unique voice in the world. “’The Color Purple’ is a universal story,” Harrington said. “It focuses on human emotions and empathy, which transcend all ethnicities.”

This production stars Elmont’s Ellisha Marie as Sofia — the role played by Oprah Winfrey in the 1985 film. As a child, Marie — whose parents immigrated here from Trinidad and Tobago — only wanted to sing and perform. She performed every song she could for family and friends.

Marie was urged at Elmont Memorial High School to audition for the school musical “Annie.” Despite some apprehension, Marie mustered up the courage to audition. It was from there she knew that’s where she belonged.

After graduating high school, Marie

She has since performed on stages in and around New York City, but is now making her return to Elmont for “The Color Purple.”

It’s a play that resonates with Marie, she said. And she’s no stranger to it, appearing as Church Lady during a run in White Plains.

“It is such an honor and privilege to be chosen by the theatre gods to perform in this iconic and timeless musical,” Marie said. “It means the world to me and is truly a defining moment in my career to be cast again … and to perform in my hometown, where my love for theatre and the arts began.”

Critics have cited this version of “The Color Purple” as similar to the acclaimed 2015 Broadway revival, which introduced Cynthia Erivo and won Tony Awards for Erivo and the musical itself.

“I am delighted to be presenting this

Harrington has seen both the 2004 original production as well as Erivo’s more recent revival. Harrington’s version is more in-line with the latest revival “with its streamlined approach” that makes it both “captivating and powerful”.

“One area particularly powerful is when the character Shug Avery tells Celie that she is beautiful,” Harrington said.

“This is a transformative moment in the show as Celie, who has such low selfesteem, suddenly realizes that she is a beautiful person and begins to gain respect from others. I am struck by the impact of simple words on the lives of

other people.”

Marie can’t help but notice the cultural significance of the story, even 40 years after Walker first published her novel.

“We are living in a post-pandemic world where people are trying to discover who they are, trying to heal from grief and the trauma of racial and gender divides and inequalities,” she said. “’The Color Purple’ challenges our perspectives on life, love, family and forgiveness, and guides us through the journey of self-discovery.

“Theatre and the arts have always been a magnificent platform to bring everyone together and help us navigate our way to the root of the issues and discover the truth of who we are.”

Gershfeld wins state championship

By BRIAN KACHARABA sports@liherald.com

Stephan Gershfeld’s dream finally came true.

The Hewlett junior capped off one of most dominant tennis seasons in school history and became the first male Bulldog in 31 years to win a state singles title after defeating top-seeded Emil Grantcharov of New Rochelle 6-2, 6-2 at the New York State Public High School individual championships in Queens last Saturday.

Gershfeld has not lost a match in two straight high school seasons entering the tournament and didn’t even drop a set during that time. Last year’s state tourney was canceled because of Covid-19.

“This is definitely one of the biggest achievements that I’ve reached in my life,” he said. “Ever since seventh grade, this is the one thing that I’ve been wanting to do and this was definitely the goal and the reason I play high school tennis.”

The third-seeded Gershfeld defeated Mahan Bitkuri of Schenectady 6-1, 6-1 in the first round before posting a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Ithaca’s David Riccio later that day to reach the quarterfinals.

Gershfeld would gain All-American status if he won the next match the following day, and admitted that was on his mind when he fell behind 4-0 to freshman Drew Fishback of Geneva and 40-15 in the fifth game of the first set. But Fishback began to struggle and Gershfeld took advantage to tie it at 4 before going on to a

7-5 victory. He advanced with a 6-3 win in the second set.

Next was Scarsdale’s Jason Shuler, who won all seven previous matches between the two. Gershfeld won the first set 6-3, but struggled to return Shuler’s serve in the second and lost 6-2.

“After he lost that second set, he took a break and I said, ‘New set. We’re starting all over and forget about the second set.

Let’s move on.’ And that’s all I kept saying to him,” Hewlett coach Joyce Raikos said.

Gershfeld did forget it and won the last set 6-1 for a trip to the final. There, he faced Grantcharov, whom he split eight meetings with since they first competed as 10-year olds.

Grantcharov took a 30-0 lead in the first game, but that was as much offense as he could muster as Gershfeld maintained long rallies and forced errors for a 6-2 win. Gershfeld won the first set and rallied to go ahead 3-2 before a crucial moment in the sixth game occurred.

Grantcharov took a 40-15 lead, but Gershfeld rebounded and forced a deuce. Gershfeld took four separate leads, only to have Grantcharov tie it each time. The pair continued to battle until Gershfeld won the 15th and 16th points and the game.

“It was a grueling 10–15-minute game,” Gershfeld said. “But I ended up pulling through, which helped me a lot.”

Gershfeld took the last two games and won the title by hitting a forehand that landed inside the baseline.

The VILLAGe of Cedarhurst adopted an $8.509 million budget on June 1.

Cedarhurst village budget ticks up by nearly $1M lmargaria@liherald.com

Cedarhurst residents will endure a slight tax increase with the village's new operating budget — ticking up by nearly $1 million — at $8.509 million going into effect on June 1. The village's fiscal year ends on May 31.

The increase is $1.093 million from the previous year's budget of $7.415 million.

The biggest upticks could be attributed to employee benefits — $474,477 — transportation — $197,750 — culture and recre-

ation — $171,409 — public safety $124,227 and general government support — $105,070.

The tax rate increased nearly 2 percent, "so for the average homeowner that pays $700 per year," Village Clerk, Treasurer and Administrator Sal Evola wrote in an email, "the increase is $14 per year."

The village did not exceed the tax cap.

There has also been a significant increase — by $765,000 — in state aid for roadwork and paving. This state aid is from the New York State Consolidated Highway Programs.

Queens man caught with loaded gun in Inwood Nassau police arrested a Queens resident in Inwood on June 6 who allegedly had a loaded gun in his car.

STAFF REPORT In its first in-person gala since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the Press Club of Long Island handed out a number of awards on June 2 — including seven to Herald Community Newspapers.

Laura Lane — a senior editor over papers on Nassau County’s North Shore — led the way with two first-place wins for her story “Is it Erma Drive or the Indy 500?” about the hazardous traffic situation in East Meadow for both the neighborhood/community category, as well as for “solutions journalism.”

A team of current and former Herald staffers claimed the top spot in the breaking news narrative category with their coverage of the April 2021 shooting at the West Hempstead Stop & Shop. Peter Belfiore, Jim Bernstein, Scott Brinton, Sue Grieco and Nakeem Grant were honored for their work that appeared in the Malverne/West Hempstead Herald.

Brinton, the former Herald executive editor, collected a first-place award for best column in the Merrick Herald. He also shared second-place recognition with senior editor Michael Smollins for headline writing in the Lynbrook/East Rockaway Herald. Brinton also placed second for editorials.

Nassau Herald editor Jeffrey Bessen and reporter Lisa Margaria took home a

third place award in the education category.

Along with the awards, the Press Club also inducted Brian Boyhan, Joye Brown, Drew Scott and Chris Vaccaro into its Hall of Fame.

Boyhan is a longtime award-winning journalist known for his work with the Sag Harbor Express as well as his involvement with the New York Press Association. He has also partnered with Elizabeth Bonora Cowles as a founding member of the Press Club’s East End chapter.

Brown has worked in radio, print and now television. She has worked at the News and Observer in Raleigh, North Carolina, as well as the Chicago Tribune and Newsday. Brown has also been a reporter, editor, administrator, editorial writer, columnist and commentator.

Scott has spent a half-century in broadcasting as both a radio and television journalist.

He has won multiple Emmy and National Edward R. Murrow awards.

Scott has covered the Son of Sam arraignment, President Bill Clinton’s impeachment, the TWA Flight 800 crash, and the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan — which he witnessed.

The Press Club of Long Island is open to professional and student numbers of the Society of Professional Journalists.

LIRR’s Grand Central connection gets closer jlasso@liherald.com

From a project nearly 25 years in the making, commuters looking to connect with Manhattan through the Long Island Rail Road will soon have a new option: Grand Central Terminal.

The new underground train station — officially dubbed Grand Central Madison — offers Long Island riders a straight shot to the Manhattan’s East Side between 43rd and 48th streets. Gone will be days of needing Penn Station on the West Side to get into downtown.

The East Side Access Project, as it’s called, is LIRR’s most expensive project to date, clocking in at more than $11 billion.

But it’s an investment, officials say, will completely revamp the way commuters ride the rails.

At least that’s the message Catherine Rinaldi sought to bring home to a crowd of business leaders and advocacy groups last week during a presentation hosted by the Long Island Advancement Economic and Development Committee.

“History is being made around us at a time when massive transformative projects that have been long promised are finally coming to fruition,” said Rinaldi, LIRR’s interim president. “Constraints that have long been a ceiling on how much service the Long Island Rail Road could offer are falling away.”

Crews are busy with what Rinaldi

Juan Lasso/Herald

At A BUSiNeSS and innovation leadership conference hosted by the Long Island Advancement Economic and Development Committee, Long Island Rail Road interim president Catherine Rinaldi discusses the East Side access project to business leaders. describes as “readiness activities,” like testing train systems and conducting pilot runs.

But once service is in full operation, officials with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority expect nearly half of LIRR commuters — more than 160,000 — to use Grand Central Madison. The additional transit line could shave off 40 minutes of their daily commute while removing some of the commuting strain and crowding felt at Penn Station. Even more, officials believe it will close the time gap for riders who currently arrive at Penn Station on the West Side only to need the subway or bus to get jobs or other destinations on the East Side.

“Having a robust service into a second

terminal” at Grand Station also “allows for operations to continue if there’s any sort of disruption at Penn,” Rinaldi said.

“And it’s going to minimize the disruptions with Amtrak’s East River tunnel project.”

When all of that is done, Grand Central will become a transfer point between LIRR and Amtrak, making it possible for businesses in Queens and Long Island to attract prospective employees from the Bronx and points north, Rinaldi said.

“It’s going to attract Westchester residents to Long Island beaches and wineries,” she said. “It’s going to attract Long Island residents to Hudson Valley hiking destinations in the fall.”

But commuters who’ve organized their

regular commute around Penn Station since, well, forever, may face a bit of a learning curve. MTA officials say they’ve kept that in mind, unveiling preliminary train schedules for its 11 different branches once Grand Central is up and running.

The schedules are still in a bit of flux at the moment, with information and public comment sessions continuing over the summer.

These timetables are to give riders a sense of the “magnitude of service increases” and new travel options available, Rinaldi said. But it also gears them up for what changes lie ahead in trying to adapt to new commuting patterns.

Take, for example, the doubling of morning peak-hour trains heading to the city on the East Rockaway branch, with a significant increase of eastbound trains between 7 and 8 p.m. More than half of those services will run to Grand Central, Rinaldi said, with the remaining ending up at Penn Station.

There are also some service cuts planned for morning rush trains bound for Penn Station, while many trains originating from the major terminals will no longer have scheduled connections at Jamaica.

“Change is change,” Rinaldi said. “But I would say to (skeptics) to keep their powder dry and have a look at the schedule and see how the new ways of offering service on the Long Island Rail Road could ultimately benefit them.”

Empire State Games return to create history

By ROBERT TRAVERSO rtraverso@liherald.com

After a two-year pause, nearly 900 athletes returned to the field of competition for the Nassau County Empire State Games for the Physically Challenged last week.

“It’s like a field of dreams for this population,” said Susan Gordon Ryan, the Empire State Games founder, who organized the first event in 1985.

Athletes between 5 and 21 competed at the 36th annual games in a variety of sporting events and challenges, including tack races, discus throwing, long jumps, wheelchair basketball, swimming, table tennis and archer.

Since its inception, the Empire State Games have encourage skill development and sports participation, as well as foster sportsmanship and camaraderie for physically challenged individuals.

Ryan developed the Empire State Games after Nassau County hosted the 1984 Paralympics. She worked with state officials to launch a program designed to continue that competitive tradition at a much more local level.

Today, New York remains the only state to host a program for the physically challenged.

“We wanted New York to become a training ground for young, physically challenged athletes,” Ryan said.

“And this had never done before.”

Nearly 250 athletes showed up for those first games in 1985 — a number which exploded to 1,400 athletes just two years later. But the Empire State Games hit a stumbling block in 2010 after the state cut funding, requiring a fundraising effort led by then-county executive Ed Mangano to keep the event afloat.

And then there was the coronavirus pandemic, canceling the games the past two years. That led to signifi-

cant uncertainty about how many athletes would participate this year with the Empire State Games’ return.

The Mitchell Athletic Complex and Nassau Community College have hosted the event stretching back to the beginning. And providing transportation to these venues, Ryan said, is key for driving turnout among the physically.

The Nassau Inter-County Express local bus system has provided transportation to and from the event for athletes — who typically stay in dorms at Hofstra University in the leadup to the games — for the past decade.

“You’ve got to be part of the community,” said NICE chief executive Jack Khzouz.

NICE bussed 45 athletes from Hofstra to the two event venues in vehicles specifically outfitted to fit a number of mobility devices. The athletes were assisted on and off the buses by volunteers.

“Anytime anybody needs to go anywhere, we’re there for them,” Khzouz said. “For that weekend, they’re the stars, and we’re there to cheer them on.”

The 36-year journey has included lots of ups and downs, but the goal of the Empire State Games has never changed.

While some who have competed in past events have gone on to compete at the Paralympics, many others are focused on fitness. Still, the impetus of the event has always been creating new social channels while building self-esteem, Ryan said.

Development in these areas — and the bond formed between event volunteers and athletes over the course of three days — is the most important aspect of the Empire State Games.

“It’s this constant transmission of love, attention, joy,” Ryan said. “It’s just a special place.”

Getting up and dancing at Lawrence High School With precision and sleekness dancers moved about the stage of Lawrence High School’s theater as part of the show ICON that included costumes, dances and songs inspired by iconic performers through previous years.

Under the direction of Lawrence School District dance teacher Laila Sales and dances choreographed by students the May 19 show was an homage to “icons and idols who bring us joy to get up, get out and dance,” Sales noted.

She added that the “show is a monumental effort that wouldn’t be possible without the help and support of many teachers, students sand support staff throughout the district as well as guest artists. Students work tirelessly during

and after school for the entire school year to put this show together.”

Hewlett High’s unsung hero gets his due By marion hausmanmn nassaueditor@liherald.com

Hewlett High School senior Ian Panzarella was awarded the Dr. James Tolle Unsung Hero/Heroine Award for his demonstrated excellence in sports, on May 20.

This honor places value on characteristics that are often undervalued in the competitively charged environment of athletics.

More specifically, the award recognizes the athlete who makes a significant contribution to the team while also bringing joy to teammates.

The five qualities for this award include: courage, selflessness, humility, patience, and caring.

David Viegas, the director of Health, Physical Education, and Athletics at Hewlett, noted that Panzarella fit those attributes perfectly. The award is accompanied by a $1,000 scholarship, Viegas added. SCOPE Education Services sponsors the scholarship.

Bill Dubin, who coaches basketball at Hewlett High and the school’s unified basketball team, explained what makes Panzarella exceptional. “Whether it was during drills, helping them get game uniforms or just being a role model, he did it all,” Dubin said.

Ian is a hard-working conscien-

tious student-athlete. He always did what was best for the team. He is a true team player!” Panzarella served as an assistant coach for the unified squad.

Panzarella has played multiple sports and has had substantial influence in all of them, especially at the varsity level playing soccer and basketball. The award recognizes his talent and dedication during the entirety of his high school career.

His impact on the teams he played on is immeasurable and also made an overall positive contribution to the community. His participation in unified basketball truly showed why he was chosen for the award.

“This award means so much to me,” Panzarella said. “Knowing that I am the only male student athlete to win this award this year is crazy to think about and I’m very grateful to have been chosen.”

He will graduate along with the class of 2022 this month and will be attending Binghamton University in the fall. When looking back on his high school career now that it is coming to a close, he notes, “Without sports in high school, I wouldn’t have been as successful as I am today. They kept me on track and I loved being around my teammates as well as my coaches.”

Hewlett-woodmere, HAlB And HAFTR schools are collaborating with the Nassau County Police Department to tighten security. NCPD Officer Luis Serrano led a school safety seminar at the department’s Garden City training center on May 26. classrooms with open arms.” The policy was discontinued in 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic spread.

Two years later, what do HAFTR’s security precautions look like? “We … have always been advised by our security professionals not to discuss our security procedures with anyone as that would put our school community in jeopardy,” the school’s executive director, Ari Solomon, wrote in an email. “Please be reassured, we continue to do everything we can to make sure our students and staff are safe at all times and constantly consult with our professionals and local law enforcement agencies to update as situations present themselves.”

The Hebrew Academy of Long Beach’s executive director, Adrianne Mittan, similarly declined to comment on security and safety in its schools, though she acknowledged that there are emergency precautions in place.

“Unfortunately I am not comfortable commenting on HALB’s safety and security procedures,” Mittan wrote in an email.

“As you can imagine, we have many in place and we are always discussing best practices to ensure they are constantly improving. We are dedicated to protecting our children, faculty, and families and work to ensure that we do our best at all times.”

HALB includes the HALB Elementary School in Woodmere, Davis Renov Stahler Yeshiva High School for Boys, also in Woodmere, and Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls and Lev Chana Early Childhood Center, both in Hewlett Bay Park.

procedures.”

The school district also encourages parents to speak with their children about sharing anything seemingly threatening — including social media posts and verbal or written threats — with appropriate district personnel.

The district’s Ogden Elementary School, in Valley Stream, released a letter on June 1 following the general district letter, to reassure parents that their children’s safety was a top priority.

The Ogden administration and custodial staff met with county police on May 31 to “review protocols and ascertain guidance for future safety measures,” Principal Dina Anzalone and Assistant Principle Elizabeth Murray wrote in the letter.

“Only the main door will be used for arrival and dismissal of students,” it read.

“Doors will never be propped open for any reason; windows will be locked at all times; if a class is outside for any reason, the staff member in charge will have a walkie-talkie with them and they are aware of the safety procedures to be followed.” Parents will also have to call security on the school’s outdoor call box to drop off any items at the beginning of a school day.

Within the next two weeks, Ogden will hold what school officials called an “authentic lockout drill,” which members of the NCPD will observe and offer feedback on.

The Ogden administration will continue to meet with the NCPD, and precautions will be added or revisited in the future. “We are very confident that, with the assistance of NCPD, our District Director of Health, Safety and Security, and the cooperation of staff, that we will be able to handle any situation that should arise,” Anzalone and Murray wrote.

In the wake of the Uvalde shooting, several Hewlett-Woodmere several parents shared their concerns on the District 14 Residents Facebook group. They questioned the guest sign-in procedure at Hewlett High School and Woodmere Middle School.

The day after the Uvalde shooting, the Lawrence Public School District also released a letter. “The Lawrence District’s foremost priority is safety, security and well-being of our students, staff and community.” Superintendent Dr. Anne Pedersen wrote.

“Our administration continuously reviews and updates district-wide security procedures and regularly test and practice these protocols, and we remain vigilant to keep our buildings safe and secure.”

Pedersen reminded district residents that school building visits must be arranged in advance, and that district staff and security closely monitor school perimeters.

Before 2020, the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway had an “opendoor policy,” as stated in its 2020 Back to School Blueprint. The school “routinely welcomed all visitors to our programs and

HAFTR presents ‘Names, Not Numbers’ niques,” middle school Principal Joshua Gold said, as well as interviewing techniques. HAFTR invites experienced filmmakers and journalists to teach the students those skills.

Gold noted the results of the U.S. Millennial Holocaust Knowledge and Awareness Survey, published by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. The 2020 study was the first 50-state survey on Holocaust knowledge among millennials and members of the younger Generation Z. “Among New Yorkers aged 18 to 39, 58 percent cannot name a single concentration camp,” Gold said. “Nineteen percent of New Yorkers believe that

Jews caused the Holocaust, and 28 percent believe the Holocaust is a myth or has been exaggerated greatly. In each of these metrics, very sadly, New York has the worst score of any state in America.

“I believe that we fight these trends with increased Holocaust education in schools with programs such as this one, Names, Not Numbers,” Gold added, “and through increased and strengthened partnerships and bridge-building.”

Though the schools did not work together this year due to the continuing coronavirus pandemic, HAFTR traditionally collaborates with Lawrence Middle School on the project.

The interviews lasted at least an hour, but only 17 minutes of each interview were added into the final product. HAFTR gave each of the survivors a copy of the unedited interviews on DVD. “Five survivors bravely shared their stories with our students, and after telling their story, they looked at the students’ faces and they smiled,” faculty adviser Ariana Wolfson said. “They saw that this was the future, that these students would continue their legacy. In the beginning of the program, I gave the students one piece of advice: Ask the questions, get the stories — because time is running out.”

Eighth-grader Alex Preminger reflected on “Names, Not Numbers,” which he described as an “amazing experience.”

Alex and five of his peers — Rylee Gluck, Naomi Lazarus, Laila Levin, Nate Meyer and Max Parkoff — interviewed Ivan Gluck, Rylee Gluck’s grandfather.

“As part of the younger generation,” Alex said, “it’s my obligation to pass this information to further generations so we can make sure no one forgets what happened during this time, so it will never happen again.”

“I learned most from this that we should always remember and never forget what happened in the Holocaust,” said student Laila Cohen, who interviewed Matathias, “and always to pass down the stories, and never take anything for granted.”

Laila described the Names, Not Numbers project as “amazing” and “inspiring.” “This is something that I, for sure, would want to do again,” she said. She and fellow students Sara Kranz, Julie Schecter and Olivia Weinrib interviewed Matathias.

occurs, it can happen at any time,” Marshak, who survived the Holocaust by hiding in a forest with her mother, said in her interview. “I think it’s very, very important for everyone to remember what racial hatred and discrimination can cause.”

Students Hailie Avigdor, Leesy Berger, Sasha Bokor, Leah Kammerman, Ariana Rakhminov, Vivian Sharon and Refaeka Silverberg interviewed Marshak.

Moed was interviewed by Ayeley Glatt, Lily Golombeck and Kayla Jakubowitz.

Wolberg was interviewed by Jayden Gasner, Jordan Kirschner, Matthew Schein and Zachary Strauss.

The nearly one-hour-long finished film will be housed at facilities including the Yad Vashem World Holocaust Remembrance Center, in Jerusalem, and the Library of Michigan University in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

“Your work will live on,” Gold told the students, “and you have the opportunity to help future generations to never forget the unspeakable crime against humanity that was the Holocaust.”

Q. We’ve always had window air conditioners, and want to get central air. It’s quieter, and we get our windows back. We just want your opinion as to whether it’s worth it. We realize we’ll have less room in our attic, and we think we’ll lose some space in closets where the ducts go from the attic through the second floor to the first floor. We got an estimate that was pretty expensive, $15,000. Do you think it’s worth it?

A. To recap, you are required to obtain a building permit, which includes multiple steps, from filing a site plan showing the location of the outside condenser unit; to an attic plan, showing how the fan unit is mounted, with a location for the condensation drain pan; to information on whether the home is in a flood zone, and how the onte eeper outside unit will be mounted above the base flood level. You will also need an electrical certificate and final inspection for an electrically powered system, as well as a plumbing permit if the system is gas-fired.

Your taxes will increase, along with your energy bills. Window units are the least costly system, but are generally unsightly — but you avoid the tax increase, the building permit process and expenses and the disruption to the home, including loss of valuable access and storage space in the attic and closets.

A split system, where you have a wall-mounted unit that can also deliver heat, is another alternative, but does require an outside condenser and a permit. A tax increase is likely, but much less than a central air system. If you’re handy, you may be able to install the split system unit yourself. I have friends and family who have purchased their own split system units online and installed them by themselves.

Most importantly, do not attempt to do new electrical work for the dedicated service and cutoff switch required for a split-system, wall-mounted unit if you have no training or knowledge of the electrical portion of this installation. Unless you are using the previously installed outlet and a cutoff switch that would be in place for a window unit you are replacing, contact a licensed electrician to do this work. Safety is extremely important. Follow all instructions and ask qualified people for help, where necessary.

Remember, there are issues that most people will tell you the wrong information about, like permits, zoning, plumbing and electrical. I’ve seen the results of illegal work many times, because I receive calls to inspect the damage and work to legalize after a fire or flood, or when someone receives a violation. It is most disheartening when I’m looking at work that caused a fire that displaced a family or, worse, caused a death.

Putting condensers in a side yard instead of the rear yard has led to expensive and time-consuming zoning variance hearings and permits. Avoiding the permit now can be much worse later. Good luck!

opinions

don’t really follow baseball anymore.

As a rabid Yankees fan who devoured everything about the game for nearly 40 years, I never thought I’d say that. But I’ve ashamedly had to repeat it a lot lately.

That’s because baseball has become completely unwatchable. Once team front offices were taken over by Ivy League geeks, the game took a horrible turn for the worse.

The sad devotion to analytics has sapped baseball of all the things that once made it great.

Nowadays, it nicK doesn’t matter if you strike out over BuglionE 200 times, so long as you can hit the ball over the fence.

(Nonsense.) A walk is just as good as a base hit. (It isn’t.) And an out is just an out, so never give them away. (No more sacrifices, squeezes or stolen bases — how fun.)

And that’s not the only thing that stinks, in my opinion. I hate how emotionally and physically fragile players have become. I despise the superimposed strike

H

zone on TV that’s turned everyone into an armchair umpire. I can’t stand instant replay. The shift drives me insane, but not nearly as much as that stupid runner who starts on second during extra innings.

But the issues go even deeper than that.

One recent Saturday night, I had a rare hankering to watch the Yankees.

But not this year’s team. No, I watched the Yankees play the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game Seven of the 1952 World Series on YouTube.

That game demonstrated all that was once glorious with our national pastime but is now gone. The pitchers hurled like they were double-parked — even in the final game of the season, with everything on the line. I can only remember two batters stepping out of the batter’s box the entire game.

I timed just 11 seconds in between pitches of a Johnny Mize at-bat for the Yankees. In today’s game, thanks to all the step-outs, practice swings, re-securing of batting gloves and adjusting of helmets, you can expect at least double or triple that much time to pass from pitch to pitch.

I got to see Phil Rizzuto bunt, Mickey

i

Mantle homer and Jackie Robinson give pitcher Allie Reynolds fits when Robinson reached third base in the fourth inning.

The Ebbets Field crowd gasped every time he juked toward home, but he never went.

There was no inane banter between broadcasters Mel Allen and Red Barber, probably because there were no massive lulls in action. With a combined 12 strikeouts and walks, the game lasted just 2 hours and 54 minutes. The Yanks won, 4-2.

The last Yankees game I attended — Game One of the 2019 American League Divisional Series — featured 39 strikeouts and walks and took a whopping 4 hours and 15 minutes. I remember marveling at the time that I’d never attended a Yankees playoff game — and I’d been to many — and felt bored.

The average length of a baseball game in 1952 was 2 hours and 25 minutes, according to Baseball-Reference.com. In 2021 it was 3 hours and 10 minutes. Games have become so long that even the most devoted fans can’t watch the whole thing.

My stepson Jake is about as big a baseball guy as any 16-year-old. He loves the Yankees and follows them religiously, but

n the 1952 World Series, the pitchers hurled like they were doubleparked.

even he can’t watch an entire game. He usually follows the updates on his cellphone and watches something else. When there’s a potential rally, he’ll turn the game on. So, essentially, watching baseball has become a passive experience, like waiting for a baby to be born.

My lack of interest is part of an alarming national trend. Baseball attendance and TV ratings have steadily declined over the past decade. One New York Times contributor recently even went as far as to propose placing Major League Baseball under the auspices of the Library of Congress or the National Park Service, lest it fold one day and be forgotten forever.

While I think that’s a bit hyperbolic, the game certainly has its problems. But they’re easily fixable. If MLB wants me to tune back in, I have a few suggestions for the players. Stay in the box and swing. Put your foot on the rubber and throw. Make contact. Choke up when there are two strikes. Protect the plate. Go the other way. Steal a base. Sacrifice a runner over.

Try to hit .300. Move the game along!

Or pretty soon, nobody will be watching.

High season for online hucksters and frauds

ave you ever fallen for a scam? In the old days, for which we can only feel nostalgia, there was the kind of sweet three-card Monte hustle on the streets of New York, the infamous sales of Florida swampland, and penny-stock offerings guaranteed to land a windfall. Sometimes, back in the day, there was the more sophisticated scam telephone call from a relative you might not remember who loved your mother, remembers her name and, by the way, desperately needs money wired immediately RAnDi for emergency surKREiss gery.

Oh, it does go on and on. Getting caught in the web of fraud sometimes speaks to our own greed. We want to make a lot of money without working for it, and we are willing to be fooled into thinking it can happen. Some of us are also remarkably gullible. We have “sucker” written large on our backs, and there are folks out there ready to take us up on it.

There have been the notorious Ponzis and Madoffs and the likes of Anna Sorokin, who posed as an heiress to dupe rich friends, and, of course, legends like Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos founder,

who wanted to be the next Steve Jobs but instead faces sentencing in September on wire fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud.

Grifting has always been a part of the American landscape. Sometimes a certain romance has been associated with bigtime fraudsters, a grudging nod to their ability to run a con. Victims rarely appreciate this side of the crime.

People in our own communities suffered life-changing losses from Bernie Madoff ’s crimes.

What appalls me is the epidemic of cybercrime.

Every single day, even multiple times a day, we receive emails and texts that try to trick us into revealing vital information that can then be used to steal identities, get into bank accounts, and otherwise wreak havoc with our financial stability.

It is organized, and it is sophisticated.

Despite all of our double-verification routines and firewalls, the bad guys keep knocking at the door.

Among my various tics and tocks, I never included paranoia, but I admit, lately I am suspicious of nearly everything that comes my way online. There’s a random text from someone I know but haven’t spoken to in a few years. “How about getting in touch?” it says. It could

M

be a genuine text, but probably not.

AOL writes to me nearly every day, sometimes several times a day, saying it will shut down my account by a certain date if I don’t write back immediately with various information the company needs. Bushwa! I get calls from insurance “specialists” and Medicare “advisers” and premier bank card alerts and Yahoo yahoos, and someone in the U.K. who wants to send me $20,000, and someone else who writes, “Confirmation needed immediately,” and texts from my real credit card company, saying there’s a hold on my card, except there isn’t, and I have to call the company to find out that the text didn’t come from them.

I think it affects your sense of safety in the world to always be swatting away fraud attacks.

We’ve come to accept fake news and alternative facts, but the online scamming feels personal. Don’t we all want to trust our community? Apparently, the kinder, gentler time of the unlocked back door has passed. Hypervigilance is our default mode.

The lowest of the low have come out since Covid. According to Phishing.org, people send emails pretending to be representatives of the Federal Emergency

y credit card company texts to say there’s a hold on my card, but there isn’t.

Management Agency, offering money for the funerals of family members who died in the pandemic. There’s one hitch: You must give them personal information or send them money to get the money. It’s a scam. There’s a real FEMA funeral program, but that one offers money without asking for any.

After every national tragedy, after mass shootings, hurricanes and floods, there’s always a blossoming of fraud across the land. People seize the opportunity to profit on the grief and loss of others.

According to Phishing.org, be suspicious if: ■ You’ve “won the lottery.”

■ You recognize the sender, but it’s someone you don’t talk to.

■ A message sounds scary or tells you to “act now.”

■ A message contains unexpected or unusual attachments. They may contain malware, ransomware or another online threat.

The grifters and fraudsters are often smart enough to make money the oldfashioned way, but that’s not how they roll. Their payoff is the free ride, getting over on the “mark.”

Be careful out there, my friends.

The pandemic isn’t over quite yet

here was no day darker in New York than April 9, 2020. On that day, Covid-19 claimed 1,052 lives, according to Johns Hopkins University, bringing the total number of deaths in the state to nearly 11,000 in just three weeks.

The prospect of losing 1,000 people a day was just unfathomable. But on that day it became real, as the coronavirus raged out of control, with very little hope of stopping it.

Yet we were fortunate. The number of deaths each day dropped from there, dipping under 100 by the end of May. While our losses would creep up a couple more times — both in early 2021 and at the start of this year — we would never come anywhere close to the number of souls lost on April 9, 2020.

Today, outside of seeing people here and there wearing masks, the coronavirus has seemingly become a fleeting memory. Hospitals aren’t overwhelmed.

Treatments are encouraging. And we have vaccines.

But the pandemic isn’t over. And we have to stop acting like it is. No, we don’t need to lock down or stay six feet away from everyone. But we can’t keep acting like it’s 2019, either.

Every three months, a committee of global experts associated with the World Health Organization meets in an online videoconference to determine whether or not the pandemic is still a pandemic. The committee met in April for the 11th time, and arrived at the same conclusion it did

in its 10 previous meetings: We are still in a pandemic.

Even with vaccines, treatments, and lower hospitalizations and fatalities, there is still a great deal of concern about what’s next for the coronavirus.

Mutations — which create the many variants we’ve seen over the past 18 months — top that list, because no one knows what the next version of Covid will be like. The primary variants since Delta have been highly transmissible, but not as dangerous — especially to those who are fully vaccinated and in generally good health.

But it’s impossible to say what the next variant will bring. And with thousands of people still getting infected each day in New York alone, there will be a next variant, and more after that.

Many of us have brushed off even being infected, because the dangers seem no greater than the flu these days. But we couldn’t be more wrong. Those who are older or immuno-compromised are still in grave danger if they are exposed to the virus. And the rest of us still face very serious long-term complications, like long Covid, which can lead to a number of health issues — some outright debilitating.

Experts estimate that as many as 30 percent of people who had Covid — even if they were asymptomatic — will develop long Covid. With about 85 million confirmed Covid cases already, that could equate to tens of millions of people who are, or will be in the near future, suffer-

ing from long Covid.

With few if any alarms sounded over hospitalizations and deaths, it’s no wonder we’ve become complacent. One poll, conducted by Axios-Ipsos last month, found that a little more than a third of Americans feared that returning to a preCovid lifestyle would be a “significant risk.”

That means the other two-thirds were not concerned.

We don’t have to lock ourselves inside our homes, but we must remain vigilant.

Wearing masks around other people, keeping our distance unless absolutely necessary, and staying home when we’re not feeling well can really make a difference. Taking at least an at-home test before visiting someone who could be vulnerable to the disease is just the decent thing to do.

And, of course, we can’t forget vaccination — the most important tool we have in ultimately defeating this plague.

We don’t have to count too high to get to the number of people now dying in New York each day from Covid complications. But then again, even one death is too many. We have lost nearly 3,900 people in Nassau County. More than 69,000 in the state. And 1 million nationwide — more than the entire population of Delaware, North and South Dakota, Alaska, Vermont and Wyoming.

That number is still growing. So we must stay focused, and help one another get through this pandemic once and for all.

letters Save lives, Republicans: Cross the aisle To the Editor: Dear Republican candidates: I am a registered Republican, and I espouse many of the same beliefs as you. However, I, and many like me, disagree with your interpretation of the Second Amendment.

Like the First Amendment, the Second should come with constraints based on the common good and common sense. Just as the First Amendment doesn’t give you the right to shout “Fire!” in a crowded theater, the Second Amendment shouldn’t give you the right to obtain military-grade automatic weapons that are designed to kill.

Experts can guide you as to what those weapons are, and they should not be made available to anyone but law enforcement or soldiers, under strict penalty.

You will never stop murder, which is as old as mankind. But we have it in our power to limit it. Imagine if the

deranged shooters in Uvalde or Buffalo or Parkland or Sandy Hook or countless other locations across our country had pistols instead of automatic weapons, how many lives might have been saved and how much heartbreak avoided.

In the name of God and decency, reach across the aisle, join hands with your Democratic colleagues and show America and the world that we have it in our power to limit the carnage that is now of epidemic proportions in America. In Juda-

don’t know about you, but there hasn’t been one day since the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, when I haven’t cried or given my kids a suffocatingly tight hug.

I have spent my entire life in school. I was in high school when the shootings at Thurston High School, in Springfield, Oregon, in 1998, and then, a year later, Columbine, shocked us.

In the more than 20 years since, I’ve taught in elementary, middle, high school and college classrooms, where I have practiced lockdown and active shooter GIna drills that feel more and more SIpley futile each year. I was once locked in a windowless classroom for three hours while police negotiated with a student who had brought a gun to school with intent to harm. I can no longer sit with my back to a door, and constantly monitor spaces for shelter — and exits.

We need to protect all of our American freedoms. In this constant state of terror, no one is truly pursuing life, liberty and

happiness.

David Hogg, survivor of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman High School in Parkland, Florida, in 2018 and a co-founder of March for Our Lives, an organization dedicated to eradicating gun violence, repeatedly tweets that this time it will be different. I so want to believe him. As a social media researcher, I can see the disparity between Twitter activism and the bare mention of the Uvalde shooting in my news feeds in the weeks since it occurred. But just because people aren’t posting about it in neighborhood Facebook groups doesn’t mean that we have forgotten. We’ve been through over two decades of continued violence in America. We are negotiating our third year of a global pandemic. We’re tired, and when you’re tired, you feel helpless.

Fred Rogers, known to millions as Mister Rogers, once said that in times of crisis, we need to look to the helpers. You know who some of the biggest helpers in Uvalde are right now? The staff of El Progreso Memorial Public Library. There are not enough psychologists in Uvalde. The Robb Elementary school, which, like all

Don’t conflate abortion with other issues To the Editor: Re the letter “My body, my choice?

Please!” (May 26-June 1): Writer Jane Dantona Grogan put down two women who had previously shared with Herald readers their personal stories about having had abortions. I strongly defend the right of a woman to choose an abortion, but at the same time fully understand a woman’s decision to reject having one. It is a very personal decision for a woman to make, and a complicated one in many situations. The decision belongs to her and to nobody else. In particular, it doesn’t belong to government.

In her letter, Dantona Grogan, in a kind of left-handed manner, lets the two ladies off the hook, saying it is “more a commentary on our society,” and then proceeds to address issues unrelated to abortion. She changes the subject and perhaps doesn’t quite realize she has done so. She attacks vaccine shots, preventive Covid testing and illegal immigrants. She even manages to inject fear that society is about to abandon our

elementary schools, provides critical community child care, is no longer open. The librarians are leading story times and singalongs for children during the day. They are bringing in counselors and providing access to telehealth. The Oceans of Possibilities summer reading program is expanding to offer children and their parents a space to pursue joyous activities together. Their doors are wide open to all members of the community to help them heal.

Hogg is urging everyone to attend the June 11 March for Our Lives Rally in either Washington, D.C., or in their local community. If one doesn’t exist, he urges you to create one. (There are several scheduled on Long Island and in New York City.)

After the shooting in Parkland, 800 local marches were planned. Can we get to 1,000? Can we show them that this time it will be different?

I’m not naive. I’m a pragmatist. I know this one rally on Saturday isn’t a panacea; people are still going to die of gun violence in America. But you know what? I’m going to show up on Saturday. I’m not going because I believe the political sys-

tem that continues to fail us will change.

I’m going because one day, my kids are going to ask me, “What did you do?” I’m going because we need to collectively grieve, rather than silently carry this tremendous ambient sadness, and the feeling in the back of our minds that every time we go to a school/grocery store/yoga studio/movie theater/night club/mosque/ synagogue/church, this might be the day it happens here. I’m going because even though change can be elusive, resistance is possible. I’m going because, at the end of the day, all we have is one another.

Will you join me?

Go to March For Our Lives, at MarchForOurLives.com/march22/, to find your local June 11 march. There’s one scheduled at the Nassau County Legislature, in Mineola, at 1:30 p.m., and one in Fireman’s Park, in Great Neck, at 3 p.m. If you can’t go to one, give a recurring donation to fund March For Our Lives. Or give a donation to El Progreso Memorial Library, in Uvalde, at ElProgreso.org/donations, to help it sustain support programs for the children there.

Abortion is personal — a pandemic is not To the Editor: In responding to Jane Dantona Grogan’s letter, I have to say, it’s not rocket science, it’s not like understanding calculus, yet again and again, people on Tv and radio, and readers of the Herald, equate free choice in having an abortion to choosing not to get vaccinated in a pandemic.

How much simpler does it have to get in order for people to understand that abortion is a personal experience that physically affects that person and no one else? Though likely to affect the family, the spouse or close friends in an emotional or spiritual way, the physical aspects of that decision basically start and stop with the actual woman involved.

Getting vaccinated during a pandemic in which invisible particles are spread through the air and have the potential to infect every innocent bystander within spitting distance of the infected is a different matter alto-

gether. People should not be able to choose to get a vaccine or not if they want to mingle with others. If you’re willing to sequester away from every other human, then by all means, don’t get vaccinated, take a chance on contracting the virus, play Russian roulette with having or not having to be put on a ventilator. But if you insist on going about your daily life as usual, then you shouldn’t have the right to put others in danger.

Do you get in your car and drive 120 miles per hour to the local supermarket with the explanation, “It’s my car, my body, my life and you can’t tell me what to do. It’s a free country”? And why can’t you do that? Because as any firstgrader will tell you, it’s dangerous not just for yourself, but more importantly, for others.
