The Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are nearing, and Jews across North America and in the Five Towns who want to pray together will either attend synagogues, albeit in a unique environment, or use technology to connect spiritually. Because of the continuing

coronavirus pandemic, returning to a synagogue now requires extra precautions, so many shuls will use virtual platforms to celebrate the holidays, as they have for other services. The Rabbinical Council of America and the New Yorkbased Orthodox Union, which represents more than 400 congregations in the U.S. and Canada, published guidelines in a fourpage document sent to union

members that focuses on 16 points ranging from seating plans to children’s programming. “The main message is respect, respect for human life, which is a core principal of Judaism,” said Rabbi Adir Posy, the Orthodox Union’s director of synagogue services. “We believe in all the locally applied health Continued on page 14

All of us at the Herald Community Newspapers were frightened by the coronavirus pandemic when it reached Nassau County in early March. Some of us were sickened by Covid-19, and some were even hospitalized. But we had a job to do. We were, as Gov. Andrew Cuomo called us, “essential workers,” relaying vital information people needed to know to stay h e a l t hy a n d s u r v ive t h i s potentially deadly disease.

Record Lawrence field wants your vote jbessen@liherald.com

A record field of 10 candidates are running for mayor, trustee and village justice in Lawrence. Voting is on Tuesday, Sept. 15 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., at the Lawrence Yacht & Country Club, 101 Causeway in the village. Incumbent Mayor Alex Edelman is being challenged by sitting Trustee Daniel Goldstein for the two-year term. Edelman, 71, is a proponent of selling the decommissioned sewage treatment land and using the money to build an aquatic center at the country club. Under his watch, the village has saved more than $120,000 in salaries and $150,000 in maintenance in the past two years, and performed roadwork and sidewalkrepair projects valued at $640,000. Edelman noted that the country club has returned $2.7 million of the $4 million it owed the village. Goldstein, 55, said he wants to make the changes he says Edelman opposes. Goldstein has opposed Edelman on raising the tax rate for the past three years, which he said has hurt the village. Goldstein is advocating for a bicycle lane near the country club that Edelman has opposed. Saying that he is opposed to building a swimming pool for $8 million at the country club, Goldstein said he wants the club to always remain open space, but possibly in the near future used in a different way. When the sewage treatment plant land is sold, Goldstein said the money should be held for a rainy day fund and used to repair village roads and sidewalks, and other projects.

He said change and a younger mind are reasons to vote for him.

Trustee candidates

Bruce A. Backman, Uri Kaufman, Eli Kutner, J. Kolodny Lawrence, Dr. Joel M. Preminger and Paris Popack, the candidates for the two-year term, spoke intelligently on the issues. Backman, 42, said he aims to hold the line on taxes, improve the village’s infrastructure with a better park for children wants to be the voice of the middle class village residents. Kaufman, 56, supports selling the sewage treatment plant land to build a slightly smaller version of the Regency apartments and wants to build a multi-sports

complex with two swimming pools, gymnasium and an indoor playground, and buy a beach club. Kutner, 42, agrees with Edelman to build an aquatic center with proceeds from the sewage treatment plant land sale for the country club to remain a focal point and be used by the entire community. Lawrence, 43, seeks to improve the relationship between residents and village government. He said he wants the “best use” for the sewage treatment plant land and that the country club should be an asset for the residents. Preminger, 37, said he is running to offer a fresh perspective and a voice to a younger demographic. He would like to see Lawrence replicate Cedarhurst’s park and road renovation projects, while improving what he called “horrible” lighting. Popack, 55, the outgoing president of the Lawrence Association and Parks Commission member, said that she has developed relationships with residents and village employees, said the sewage plant land is zoned for single-family homes and should remain that way with at least seven homes being built with a pocket park.

Village justice

Lawrence Village Justice Gary Mandel is being challenged by Shrage Rokosz for the four-term. Mandel, 54, has been an immigration and litigation attorney for 30 years, and village justice for nearly two years. Rokosz is lawyer with business interests in real estate. He specializes in criminal law defense and is also president of R.E.D.I. Management Corp.

Contested elections in A.B., Hewlett Harbor By MATTHeW ferreMI mferremi@liherald.com

Residents in Atlantic Beach, Cedarhurst, Hewlett Bay Park, Hewlett Harbor, Hewlett Neck, and Woodsburgh villages could go to the polls on Sept. 15 to vote with 11 candidates running for six seats in contested races. In the contested trustee races, the two candidates with the most votes win. In Atlantic Beach, Mayor George Pappas is facing a challenge from his predecessor, Stephen R. Mahler. Pappas became mayor in 2014 after defeating Mahler, who was mayor from 1996 to 2014. Pappas pointed to his emphasis on improving infrastructure in the past six years as to why he should get another term. “In the past six years we’ve done more road improvements than this village has ever seen,” he said. “We’ve increased our road budget from a quarter million to half a million a year which shows how committed we are to improving our roads.” Mahler said running again because he believes his opponent has caused the village to go backwards. “To see the current mayor reverse course of all I’ve achieved in making the village an independent village in terms of zoning is really something that’s very distressing,” he said. Atlantic Beach incumbent Trustees Linda Baessler, Edward Sullivan and challenger Danielle Struss, a 12-year village resident, are running for two trustee positions. All terms are two years. Both Sullivan and Baessler emphasized that they want to keep the village pristine through infrastructure improvements. Struss believes that her 25 years in management consulting at a hedge fund will help with the board’s fiscal planning if she is elected.

George Pappas

In Hewlett Harbor, 13-year incumbent mayor Mark Weiss is facing a challenge from Ron Austin, a senior level executive in the mortgage industry. Weiss said that he is running for re-election because there is more to do in the village. “I always say that I represent a sleepy bedroom community that doesn’t sleep,” Weiss said. “The job has become a 24/7, 365 day job. When you look at the issues a village has to take on, it is up to the board to pitch in and I think we’ve done a good job at that.” Kim Volman and David Mosayo are challenging incumbent Hewlett Harbor Trustees Thomas Cohen and Kenneth Kornblau. Volman is the CEO Citiva NY and Citiva USA, a New York City-based cannabis medicine company. Mosayo has over 20 years of leadership experience in the pharmaceutical industry. Cohen and Kornblau both agreed that they want to maintain their track record of fairly representing every village resident.

Trustee Joel Gail Rubel is also running for re-election. Trustee Joel Schneider is stepping down. Dr. Antonio Oliviero is the trustee candidate. All terms are two years. Ross Epstein is running for a fifth ter m as Hewlett Neck mayor, and incumbent Trustees Steven Hochberg and Aron Schnell are also seeking reelection. All terms are two years. Carl Cayne is seeking his eighth term in Woodsburgh. Trustee Barry Platnick is stepping down. David Perl is the candidate. All terms are two years.

er fleet. Jack Weidinger, the dealer principal of Jaguar Freeport, Land Rover Freeport and North Bay Cadillac Buick and GMC, said he remains as excited about the state-of-theart dealership today as he was in 2016, when it opened. “Land Rover had not been on the South Shore since 2009,” Weidinger said. The dealership brought “the Land Rover brand back to the South Shore with an extremely high-end design and our reputation for business excellence and customer support.” As a third-generation dealer principal with more than 20 years of experience, Weidinger said, “When we opened our original Jaguar dealership in 1999, there wasn’t a lot of development in our area. Since then, many businesses opened in the surrounding properties, and I hope we had something to do with that. “Since the addition of the Land Rover brand,” he continued, “we have had the same level of success that we have always enjoyed, and this leads to further development in the Freeport area. The Jaguar and Land Rover brands are stronger than ever because consumers really value the combination of style, performance and practicality that Jaguar and Land Rover provide. My team and I are thrilled with the results.” The Jaguar Land Rover Freeport dealership is at 146 Sunrise Highway in Freeport.

Woodmere Club owners file $200M suit By MATTHEW FERREMI mferremi@liherald.com

The owners of the Woodmere Club have filed a $200 million federal lawsuit against the Town of Hempstead and the villages of Lawrence and Woodsburgh over the Coastal Conservation District that aims to inhibit the proposed development. The district was created by an intermunicipal agreement between the town and the villages of Lawrence and Woodsburgh, with the stated goal of enhancing and maintaining the nearby coastal area’s natural resources. Woodmere, where a majority of the development would be built, is a hamlet within the town’s jurisdiction. The agreement was signed in June. The new zoning district would divide the 118-acre Woodmere Club property into three “subdistricts.” An 83.3-acre parcel, or 70 percent of the site, would be designated an open space/recreation subdistrict. There would also be a single-family residential sub district of 29.4 acres, or 24 percent of the property, and a 5.7-acre clubhouse/hospitality subdistrict accounting for 5 percent of the land. The current proposed Willow View Estates development from property owners, Efrem Gerszberg and Robert Weiss, who purchased the Woodmere Club in 2017 for a little more than $9 million, calls for 284 single-family homes to be built on

Jeffrey Bessen/Herald

A $200 MIllIon federal lawsuit was filed by the Woodmere Club owners against the Town of Hempstead and Lawrence and Woodsburgh villages over the Coastal Conservation District. 114.5 acres of club property. 247 of those homes would be within Woodmere’s boundaries, 24 in Woodsburgh and 13 in Lawrence. Gerszberg and Weiss are claiming that the zoning is “restrictive” and applies only to their property as there is “no other similarly situated property” in the town and the new zoning is called “Coastal Conservation District – Woodmere Club.” “[The] defendants intentionally included onerous and burdensome conditions and restrictions in their new zone that will triple the cost to develop these few lots (thus threatening their economic viability and rendering any supposed ‘value’ left for plaintiffs illusory),” the suit

claims. Gerszberg added that before the CCD was formed, they were able to build 284 homes on the property. “After the recently legislation that downzoned our property from 284 homes to 54 homes and illegally took for the public 80 acres of open space, we were forced to file a lawsuit in order to protect our property rights,” he said. “We feel very confident in our case and are now looking for either a judgment against the tax payers of Hempstead, Lawrence and Woodsburgh in the amount of $200 million for the loss of value of our land or a judge ordering the municipalities to approve our as of right 284 building lots.” The three municipalities declined to comment only saying it is an “ongoing

legal matter.” Kevin McAndrew, a registered landscape architect for the Woodbury-based Cameron Engineering, hired by the town, Lawrence and Woodsburgh, explained why the Coastal Conservation District was necessary by saying the 284 single-family home proposal would significantly cause an uptick in traffic volume. “There are over 2,700 daily trips taken in this area,” McAndrew said. “The volume of the added traffic with this proposal [284 single-family homes] would represent a 20 percent increase to the daily volume on Broadway. Under the municipalities’ proposed zoning, daily traffic would be reduced by 70 to 78 percent.” The Five Towns Civic Association, the grassroots organization that grew out of several residents’ opposition to the development of the Woodmere Club, has previously endorsed the creation of the new district. Rena Saffra, a member speaking for the group, declined to elaborate on the pending lawsuit. “We have no further comment at this time,” she wrote in an email. “Our position remains the same as when the Coastal Conservation District was approved by all the municipalities.” The lawsuit should result in the CCD being invalidated, according to Gerszberg. “We will develop our property after the conclusion of the lawsuit,” he said. “We are prepared to litigate our constitutional rights all the way to the Supreme Court and have allocated the legal funds to do so.

PAL programs coming to the Community Center Several Nassau County police officers, including Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder, came to the Five Towns Community Center in Lawrence on Sept. 3 to introduce or re-introduce themselves to area residents and address the re-creation of Police Activity League programs that should begin at the Community Center by the end of the month. Half a century ago, there was a program known as the Police Boys Club in the area, according to Inwood native Arnold Palleschi, a Hewlett resident who is the vice president of Nassau County PAL, an independent nonprofit organization. “This is an exciting day,” he said to the audience at the Thursday town hall meeting in the center’s gymnasium. “PAL was the best thing that happened in the community. I’m looking forward to rekindling the unit.” There are 29 existing PAL programs across the county and Ryder said that 30, 31 and 32 are being established in Elmont, Lawrence and Roosevelt. PAL, which originally stood for Police Athletic League, became Police Activity League as the program offered more activities other than sports. The Police Boys Club later also included girls. Using $25,000 from asset forfeiture, the money confiscated from criminals, the Community Center’s PAL program will begin with help from the nonprofit organization and officer Bobby Varela from the police department’s Community Affairs unit. “There will be a lot of administrative help,” said Lt. Robert Kiesel, commanding officer of Community Affairs. “It’s about getting the volunteers and the Five Towns Community is a great place.” Kiesel said that the PAL has “something for everybody” as it now includes STEM (science, technology,

Brent Hill. engineering, math) programs. Ryder said that the program could include any activity the residents want. Typically, PAL programs are for children from kindergarten

to ninth grade, some include young people through high school. Confronting the elephant in the room head-on, Ryder said the world changed after the George Floyd murder and noted the protests his death ignited, especially the peaceful protests that took place across the county, where there was no property damage, four arrests and a few summonses. “We are here today to move forward,” Ryder said, adding that the entire Nassau force will be undergoing more extensive training concerning bias and de-escalation. Regarding programs aimed at creating a more respectful relationship between young people and police Ryder said: “We will start with our foundation, our kids.” That would be with the Youth Police Initiative, which includes sessions where police officers and young people discuss the issues that divide them. “Kids tell police their story and the police speak on how they feel about the kids,” said Det. Sgt. Jo-Ann Distler with Community Affairs. “We are looking to bridge that gap.” Recognizing that there is an existing disconnect between some communities and the police Ryder said: “We have to listen. We want what the community wants.” Gregory Stanislau, pastor of St. John’s Baptist Church in Inwood, called the renewed communication “a breath of fresh air” saying that is how respect and trust are built. Saying that he is “super excited” for the PAL programs, Community Center board member Pete Sobol spoke about the “concern for what is going on in this community,” as “people not from this neighborhood are creating chaos around here,” noting gang activity and other crimes. “We will steer our kids in the right direction,” Ryder said in response. “We don’t want other kids pulling them in the wrong direction.”

Clavin is the town supervisor. “It is kind of interesting and the people on the committee are dedicated to the issue,” Vilardi added, saying committee members are well versed on the issues and “I view my role to take all their accumulated institutional knowledge to effect incremental change.” Established in 1966, TVASNAC originally consisted of representatives from 10 villages from what was designated as the southwest quarter of Nassau County. Atlantic Beach, Cedarhurst, Floral Park, Garden City, Lawrence, Malverne, New Hyde Park, Stewart Manor, Valley Stream and Woodsburgh are the villages. Other communities, such as Inwood also have representatives on the committee. “It’s difficult to get the feds to do something positive for the communities,” said Cedarhurst Trustee Dan Plaut, who serves on the committee. “I have a good feeling with Vilardi getting things done with his vast experience and his business and government acumen.” Plaut said the committee wants to improve residents’ quality of life and not always have the planes roaring over their homes. The committee is tasked with communicating with the Port Authority of New York/New Jersey and the Federal Aviation Administration on aircraft noise and environmental issues regarding John F. Kennedy International Airport. Over its 54 years, TVASNAC has served as a voice to help ensure that JFK Airport does not overload the communities with aircraft noise from arriving and departing planes, made sure that airport capital projects did not inconvenience residents any more than necessary and aimed to decrease aircraft noise pushing for technological upgrades and studies. Vilardi, who succeeds Malverne resident Larry Hoppenhauer, understands he has an uphill battle. “Seems like the FAA

Hewlett-Woodmere adjusts reopening plan Even after formalizing its reopening plan at the Aug. 18 Board of Education meeting, Hewlett-Woodmere School District officials continue to tinker and make adjustments. The district mask wearing policy was a focus of discussion. Recent district hire and interim Deputy Superintendent David Flatley said at the meeting that the district’s reopening task force would discuss mask-wearing protocols. “All students and staf f will be required to wear masks when entering and exiting the school buildings, while riding the school bus, at bus stops, while in hallways, bathrooms, common areas, while in cafeterias (except when eating), in the classroom, and whenever on school grounds,” Flatley said, was the updated policy. “Mask breaks for students will be at the teacher’s direction and primarily occur when socially distanced and seated while working/listening independently within the classroom.” Flatley added that at the elementary level, a mask break will occur at least every 30 minutes. The secondary level will have one break during each class period. He also noted that there will be possible discipline for students who refuse to wear a face mask or covering. “Teachers and principals will consult with elementary students who do not comply with the wearing of masks and repeated offenses will require a parent consultation,” he said. “Secondary students who refuse to wear a mask, or continually remove their mask, may be subject to disciplinary action, including the eventual removal from in-person instruction.” Superintendent Dr. Ralph Marino Jr. reiterated that the current plan calls for full-person instruction to tentatively begin on Oct. 5. Online and hybrid instruction began on Tuesday. “It is our intention to begin full inperson instruction on October 5, contingent on achievement of social distancing requirements, the arrival of student and teacher desk barriers, and additional desks for our elementary schools,” he said in an email. “Our faculty and staff returned to their buildings on Sept. 1 to begin final preparation for the students’ arrival.” The district sent a survey to parents in August where nearly 72 percent of district parents surveyed chose full inperson instruction and 17 percent picked the hybrid model — a combination of remote learning and in-person teaching — while 11.4 percent opted for full online instruction. If a student were to test positive for Covid-19 when in-person instruction is underway, Flatley noted that once the Nassau County Health Department conducts an investigation, he will be called and notified of the details.

“Depending on the specifics of the case and potential exposures, additional close contacts will be elicited, and quarantine and/or notification may be determined,” he said. “Very often, these determinations are made in partnership with the health department. It is recognized that we can always be more restrictive than county health department recommendations.”

Real estate experts offer their best advice By Briana Bonfiglio bbonfiglio@liherald.com

Panelists on the latest Inside LI webinar gave crucial advice for homebuyers and sellers in a market that’s been heating up all summer. On Sept. 3, Inside LI, produced by RichnerLive, hosted its third virtual panel discussion on topics related to “new normals” in different aspects of life. It featured real estate experts who discussed Covid-19’s impact on the market and gave tips for buying and selling homes. The 45-minute webinar included panelists Steven Dubb, principal of The Beechwood Organization; Bryan Karp, real estate salesman at Coach Realtors; Annie Meneses, associate Broker at Signature Premier Properties; Joseph G. Milizio, attorney and managing partner of Vishnick McGovern Milizio LLP; and Deirdre O’Connell, chief executive officer of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International.

Demand skyrocketing

Moderator Skye Ostreicher, of RichnerLive and Herald Community Newspapers, first asked how long the panelists foresaw the high demand for homes continuing on Long Island. “Everything points to a hot market for the next several months,” Dubb said, “at least until there’s a vaccine and it’s safe to go to the city. I think that’s going to be a while.” O’Connell explained that because of the Covid-19 pandemic, people are spending more time at home and reassessing their lifestyles. For many who live in apartments in the five boroughs, that means fleeing east to buy a home with more space. “Housing isn’t just about a place to sleep anymore,” she said. “It’s a place to live, and then you add on the low interest rates, and it makes doing it more afford-

thiS SPlit-level hoMe in Glen Cove is on the market for $839,000. able no matter what the price point.” Karp agreed, noting a large shift of people moving from Manhattan to the boroughs, from the boroughs to Nassau County and from Nassau to Suffolk counties. However, there is low supply for all that demand, the panelists agreed, because sellers may be uncomfortable having people tour their homes and risk spreading the virus. Realtors and real estate agents have taken this into account, and most house tours are by appointment only. The low supply and high demand is causing the most fast-paced market that some have ever seen, and there are often bidding wars for homes. “It is probably the best seller’s market that I’ve seen in many, many decades,” Karp said, “but we don’t have an unlimited time for this.”

Selling a home

So what should sellers who want to

take advantage of this hot market do? O’Connell noted that although there are bidding wars, that doesn’t mean sellers should slap a high price tag on their home “just because.” “While we are seeing bidding wars and over-asking, [buyers] are not going into that huge aspirational price point,” she said. “People still will pay market value and slightly over for homes that are in beautiful condition.” Karp advised sellers against doing any major renovations to the home before selling; because the market is moving so quickly, time is of the essence. “As long as you don’t have water pouring down in the kitchen, just sell it the way it is,” he said. “In this market, it’s about time. The quicker you can get to market, the better chance you have to scoop up as much equity as possible.” Meneses noted that in this fast-paced market, the process for sellers typically

takes two to three weeks.

Buying a home

For buyers, the experts emphasized working with a team of real estate professionals to help with all aspects of the purchase. This includes a local real estate agent and real estate attorney who know the ins and outs of the local market — “do not hire a litigation attorney, do not hire a divorce attorney,” Karp said. “You want someone who is knowledgeable about today’s market and what is OK and what is not OK.” Even after an offer is accepted, Milizio noted, there are still many problems that can arise in the contract phase. The purchase or sale of a home is the largest and most important transaction in most people’s lives, and its purpose isn’t merely transactional—it’s to create a home for a family,” he said. “What I would like to Continued on neXt page

Northwell invests $30M in Covid-19 testing the nation, Northwell Health recently purchased high-throughput diagnostic testing analyzers from Hologic, Roche and Abbott, as well as cartridge-type tests from Genmark, Cepheid, Diasorin, Biomeme and Abbott. Northwell also is using “best-in-class,” in-lab, wet antibody chemistry tests from Roche, Ortho, Abbott, EuroImmune, Diasorin and others. Northwell Labs currently processes about 7,000 molecular nucleic acid amplification tests and an additional 3,000 antibody tests per day, with the capacity for increased volume. Northwell Labs is also focused on eliminating false positives, which at this stage of the pandemic has the potential to close schools, by developing a two-step algorithm for retesting isolated positives versus clustered positives. “Most testing today is for screening purposes, so we need to mitigate the potential effects of sporadic false-positive results,” said Dr. James Crawford, senior vice president of laboratory services at Northwell. “These are more likely to occur now that the New York area positivity rate is below 1 percent.” Northwell Health Labs officials said they are committed to providing ongoing testing during the pandemic, no matter its length or severity. Anyone in need of a Covid-19 test can get one though Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care, Northwell Health Labs patient service center (with a doctor’s prescription) or via inhome testing through the LabFly app.

NASSAU HERALD — September 10, 2020

Northwell Health Labs announced last week that it has increased its ability to ramp up the number of coronavirus tests it can conduct and reduce disruptions to its laboratory supply chain should a second coronavirus wave strike, this despite New York’s currently low Covid-19 infection rate. Northwell Health has spent more than $30 million since the beginning of the pandemic on Covid-19 testing equipment and lab supplies, including a variety of new automated machines this summer to ensure diagnostic and antibody testing could continue in the event of a new surge this fall or winter. The lab processes tests for 19 Northwell hospitals, 52 urgent care centers and more than 800 outpatient facilities — along with the needs of strategic partners — across Long Island, New York City and the Hudson Valley. “Our goal has been to deploy at scale as much testing as possible, as quickly as possible, so we were among the first labs to implement, validate and evaluate performance characteristics for most of these tests,” said Dr. Dwayne Breining, executive director of Northwell Health Labs. “Early in the pandemic, it was unclear which manufacturer would be able to supply quality testing at scale, so we ran with them all. As various supplychain issues have emerged, maintaining multiple testing platforms has been a successful mitigation strategy.” As one of the largest investors in Covid-19 testing by a hospital-based lab in

Northwell health labs has made a multi-million-dollar investment in Covid-19 laboratory testing equipment and supplies, and continues to make that investment in the event of a second wave of infection this fall or winter.

Real-estate market heats up across Long Island continued from PreViouS Page impress upon buyers and sellers is to consult a real estate attorney at the beginning of the process, not the end, which ensures a smoother, quicker and often less costly process.” “We do need a team of professionals to support each other so we can give necessary advice to buyers,” Meneses added. “You don’t have an accepted offer until your contracts are fully executed.” During the virtual event, viewers sent in questions, which Ostreicher read to the panelists. One asked how low-income buyers could navigate the real estate market, especially those who might be unemployed during the pandemic. Panelists agreed that the market is heating up in all areas, from upstate New York to Shelter Island, at all price points, including as low as $200,000. However, some buyers have chosen to wait out this period of low inventory so they have more options, Meneses noted. Meneses also said there are new down-payment system programs available for those with a tight budget. Ultimately, it’s an exciting time for the real estate industry, the panelists said. Though they lost about three months of business in the spring, this change in the market has allowed them to bounce back quickly. “The opportunity is now, the opportunity is in front of us,” Karp said. “It will probably run another six months.” To watch a recording of this webinar, visit richnerlive.com/insideli-realestate.

High Holidays feel different this year continued from front page guidelines.” Noting that the OU called for the shutdown of synagogues when the pandemic first hit, Posy said that the organization allowed for worshiping under “very strict guidelines” as phased reopenings took place. Holding services and praying together in the Jewish religion has two parts that are special, he said. “The first part, the almost technical part, that every religion has is . . . that for prayer to work, it requires people praying with others; prayers are more successful when you do it as a community,” Posy said. “The second part is what we are doing as a community socially connects us with a joint communal social message.” Synagogues on Long Island were permitted to reopen at 25 percent capacity in Phases 2 and 3 of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s reopening protocols, then to 33 percent in Phase 4. While many Orthodox shuls reopened in the Five Towns, synagogues of other affiliations were tentative, and one remains closed. Rabbi Steven Golden, of the Sephardic Temple in Cedarhurst, said that the congregation was the first to close in the Five Towns, sending an email to members on March 12 and closing the next day. “The beginning of that week, hearing the news, it was clear something was very serious,” Golden said. “I spoke with my rabbi colleagues in advance of any direction from the state.”

After that, the temple conducted services on Zoom, which he said enabled the congregation to continue to connect with members who were stuck in Florida at the time. After reopening for Shabbat services last month, the temple is planning to hold services for Rosh Hashana (Sept. 18 to 20) and Yom Kippur (Sept. 27 and 28). “It is to feel a sense of comfort as much as spiritual satisfaction,” Golden said, adding that the temple leadership has been planning for months, and certain prayers will be skipped so the synagogue can be cleaned. For Golden, having his congregation come together for the High Holidays — and especially for Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year — is akin to children returning to school and having that “sense of excitement, a new beginning with new challenges.” “Even as adults, we recognize what the High Holidays represent,” he said. “In the past year, the guilt, then you come to the High Holidays and recognize that God takes away all the burden, and with that you celebrate as a family, grandparents, parents, children. The woes of the past year are gone, and blessings of a new year begin. That emotion is very powerful, and you want to experience it.” Temple Beth El, a Conservative synagogue in Cedarhurst, restarted in-person services for Shabbat morning last Saturday, with pre-registration and limited attendance, Rabbi Claudio Kupchik said. “We plan to have in-person High Holiday

Most people responded to our survey saying that they’ll watch the service online. We will continue streaming all our services in any case.” Kupchik said that virtual services are more convenient for many people, and

PPL celebrates its summer readers North Woodmere resident Shmuel Levkovich, 10, tossed bean bags toward a corn hole board, while children hulahooped, drew pictures with chalk on the asphalt or picked free books from a few bins outside of Peninsula Public Library at the end of summer reading program party on Sept. 3.

Pat Murphy, the new children's librarian, Grace Bazile and Katie Mirro made sure all the kids received tote bags with I Love Reading stenciled outside and goodies inside. Library Director Carolynn Matulewicz said that PPL will open its doors later in the month. Two people per hour will be allotted 30 minutes to choose material. For the first time since mid-March, the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library will be resuming in-person services and Grab and Go Borrowing beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 8.

that since streaming began, participation has increased. “People have even joined from out of town and out of state — even from other countries,” he said. “But no online service can fully replace the embrace of a community singing together in a sanctuary.” To minimize members’ risk of contracting Covid-19, the temple has increased social distancing, keeps attendance to under 10 percent capacity, requires masks, has installed Plexiglas partitions for the cantor and rabbi and HEPA/UV filters in the air conditioning system, and the blowing of the shofar will take place outside. “We are social beings, and we crave being together,” Kupchik said. “This coming High Holidays, we hope to begin taking small, tentative steps towards the normalization of our religious life. We do it with care and concern, well within the state guidelines and with an eye on the pandemic figures in our county and community.” Throughout the pandemic, Temple Israel of Lawrence, the oldest Reform synagogue on Long Island, has conducted services on Zoom. “It has worked nicely, and it has increased attendance,” Rabbi Jay Rosenbaum said. “Two factors, possibly more convenient and people are more introspective, connecting with their higher selves.” Temple Israel will also conduct its High Holiday services virtually: Rosenbaum said that the temple hired a professional to record the services in advance. Though it pains him not to be with congregation, Rosenbaum said that Judaism is all about life: improving and preserving it. Recalling the story of Abraham planning to sacrifice Isaac for God, Rosenbaum said, “We sacrifice for our children; we don’t sacrifice our child. We follow science and our hearts.” For the Orthodox Union’s High Holiday guide, go to https://bit.ly/3jMqXVg.

Kaminsky co-sponsors bill for ballot drop-off locations

NASSAU HERALD — September 10, 2020

By MATTHEW FERREMI mferremi@liherald.com

State Sen. Todd Kaminsky (D-Long Beach) is co-sponsoring legislation that would authorize local state Boards of Election to establish absentee ballot dropoff locations. The bill (S.8902) would provide voters who do not want to rely on the mail service an additional option to return absentee ballots within their county or city of residence ahead of the upcoming general election. A ballot drop box provides a location where voters can drop off absentee/mail ballots in sealed and signed envelopes. The ballots are collected by the local BoE. A matching bill is in the Assembly (A 10942) sponsored by Assemblyman Richard Gottfried (D-Manhattan). “Drop boxes provide voters an alternative to voting in-person, while helping to address the issue of thrown-out ballots due to mail delays,” Kaminsky said. “Many voters have expressed concerns that mailing their absentee ballots may not make it to the Board of Elections on time, or otherwise not be counted. The addition of drop-off boxes will complement mailing absentee ballots, as well as early in-person voting and Election Day in-person voting, giving voters ample options to have their ballot counted.”

THE BIll co-sponsoREd by State Sen. Todd Kaminsky would provide voters who do not want to rely on the mail service with ballot boxes as an additional option.

1101976

At least 11 states provide ballot drop boxes in some of their counties: Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington. Under the bill, there would be notice given for the locations of these drop-off boxes by posting such information on their websites. On Election Day, absentee ballots must be received prior to the close of the polls. At the close of polls, the BoE will close every absentee ballot drop-box and collect the ballots for counting.

The Lawrence-Cedarhurst Fire Department was one of four Nassau County fire departments that will receive money through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Staffing for Adequate Fire & Emergency Response Grant and Assistance to Firefighters Grant programs. Through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program, the LCFD will receive $115,000 for a new ambulance. The federal grant funding was announced by Rep. Kathleen Rice, who represents the Five Towns and many other communities in the 4th Congressional District. “I’d like to thank the Congresswoman for her unwavering support,” LCFD Chief Michael Beilinson said in a statement. “This ambulance is going to help us continue to provide the highest level of patient care to our community.” A total of $430,272.73 was distributed, including $247,272.73 to the Lynbrook F.D. to buy new breathing apparatus for its firefighters. The Long Beach Volunteer Fire Department and the Floral Park Centre Fire Company were awarded $41,500 and $26,500, respectively through the SAFER program to help recruit new firefighters. “This influx of federal funding is a much-needed investment in our communities, particularly during this pandemic when local governments are strapped for resources,” Rice, a member of the Committee on Homeland Security which oversees FEMA, said in a statement. “These grants help ensure our local fire depart-

September 10, 2020 — NASSAU HERALD

After recovering from the debilitating addiction of binge eating, Woodsburgh resident Naomi Joseph has written about her nearly 40-year battle in the book “Binge and Sprint” that will be released in September. “Binge eating has been a part of my life since I was eight-years old,” said Joseph, who works as a speech language pathologist with the New York City Department of Education helping children overcome feeding and swallowing disorders. “It almost becomes this part of you like a friend to rely on when you’re feeling low. You go in the kitchen and put together these high calorie meals and a lot of the time what you’re eating is not good.” Binge eating is described as frequently consuming unusually large amounts of food in one sitting and feeling that eating behavior is out of control. The idea to write a book on binge eating had been ruminating with Joseph for years. She has lived in Woodsburgh with her husband, Mario, and their three children for roughly 20 years. “Two years ago I began recovery from binge eating,” she said. “I knew if I had this difficult issue that many other people would have the same issue. So many people have reached out to me about this as if I became a priest in confession.” Joseph explained the meaning of the book title. “You get this overwhelming feeling that food will comfort and steady

you to help you spring forward with your day,” she said. “First you binge, get the food to fortify you. But it doesn’t really fortify you, it just puts you in a gluten fog.” Growing up in Staten Island, Joseph said that her binge eating was influenced by the relationship she had with her father. “My dad didn’t have an easy history growing up as he went through the Great Depression,” she said. “People didn’t talk about their feelings; his coping method was screaming. That was very debilitating for me and I didn’t understand that he loved me. But looking back, I realize that the screaming didn’t have anything to do with me.” Kim O’Hara, a colleague of Joseph’s and is also the host of the podcast “You Should Write A Book About That.” O’Hara noted the importance of Joseph writing a book on binge eating. “She’s written the book that finally needed to be written about this condition,” O’Hara said. “She gets honest about the down and dirty of binge eating while writing from the perspective of a modern Orthodox Jew.” For those suffering from binge eating, Joseph wants them to know that there is hope. “I know for a fact that anyone can change and rid themselves of this debilitating condition,” she said. “Know that my heart is with you. I want to impart on readers all of the life changing lessons that I learned throughout my journey from inception through recovery.” “Binge and Sprint” can be preordered at: http://www.bingeandsprint.com.

The annual National History Fair competition for students in grades six and above compete through to nationals in Washington D.C. Students choose a topic that goes with the year’s theme, and research the topic in depth to create a project. The challenge begins with regionals at Hofstra University, Cooperstown for the states, then the nationals at the University of Maryland in College Park. After seeing their older sister, Alexandra Heyman, who graduated this past June from Hewlett High School, compete in sixth grade, siblings Madeline and Michael Heyman were inspired. They joined their friends, who they now call partners, Madison, Sydney, and Harley Honig to compete. All five students attend school in the Hewlett-Woodmere district, Madeline and Madison are Hewlett High juniors, Michael and Sydney are freshmen, and Harley is now an eighth-grader. The students are split into two divisions based on age; Madison and Madeline compete together in the senior group division, and Michael, Sydney and Harley are in the junior group division. Both groups work very well together and the children even said that “we complement each other in a positive way.” Madeline Heyman said that the Honig and Heyman children are immensely

and Harley are extremely dedicated to making each year’s project better than the next. No matter their past successes, they strive to go bigger and better to succeed. They miss family events, plans with friends, and extracurricular activities to complete their projects. Madison Honig said that they “concentrate and put the extraordinary time and effort needed to be successful at this competition”. Because of their success — first place in the state History Fair, fifth place in the country and awarded the medal for Outstanding Entry this year and previous awards — they want to continue, and push through for as long as they are eligible to compete, they said. Although they feel appreciative for all their achievements, Sydney Honig said: “There is a lot of pressure [and] we keep hearing that everyone’s eyes are on us.” Nevertheless, the Honig and Heyman children look forward to competing in National History Day each year. The ability to battle each year is the ultimate excitement for the children. Michael Heyman said that to be able to “meet and compete against the best of the best from 50 states and even American abroad schools in China, Singapore, Guam, and Puerto Rico,” has been a true gift for these local heroes. Harley Honig said that they have “already started to research topics for the 2021 category” and are “very excited to see what is ahead.”

volunTeer, Dr. MarTin luTher king, Jr. coMMuniTy cenTer

graduated from South Side High School last year and attend the University of Chicago, where I study art and neuroscience. When the pandemic hit, the spring quarter moved to online courses, so I moved home to Rockville Centre in late March. I was constantly looking for ways to help out in the community, because our family was fortunate enough to be in a position to help. I started a project through Facebook called the Flower Project, where I sold 12-by-12-inch canvas paintings of flowers and donated the proceeds to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center’s food pantry. It raised about $500. I figured, if I could help in some small way, I’d be happy to do so. I then reached out to Patrick Morris, the director of the MLK Center, and discussed volunteering opportunities. I soon became the RaisingVoices artist in residence and began painting a mural and doing fun art activities with the campers. The activities break up their daily routine and get their creativity flowing. For the mural, I wanted to feature positive Black leaders, but wanted to avoid the civil rights leaders typically displayed. So I chose more contemporary figures from different walks of life. The mural includes LeBron James, Beyoncé, and Barack and Michelle Obama. Toward the end of the project, the campers showed more interest in the mural and wanted to help. So, I invited the campers to help out with the mural, one at a time, as I thought it would be a good way for them to leave their mark. All the feedback I’ve gotten has been positive, and I’ve really enjoyed the experience.

y job as the president of the Valley Stream Teachers Association has been non-stop since the shutdown began last March. Hundreds of meetings, texts and phone calls have occupied me all summer. My real job as a classroom social studies teacher is about to ramp up on Sept. 3 when students return to the buildings. The increased use of technology actually makes for more work in many ways. Teachers are being asked to teach in different ways, and some are better prepared than others and some are just more comfortable with the technology. I’m sure this is also true for parents who are home assisting their children. The stress level for me has greatly increased in my everyday life, as well as my work life. Also the unknown is a hard factor to deal with. In the VSTA office, we have purchased a subscription to Zoom; however, there is a back up within Zoom. Additionally, Zoom can only support meetings of up to 500 individuals. VSTA has about 1,200 total members. In the Central High School District, we use a Microsoft system called TEAMs. As a teacher, I have missed the interaction with my students, and I’m hoping a vaccine will be developed and we can return to some sense of normalcy.

he Malverne community has definitely been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. We were forced to postpone our spring concerts and all of our summer shows, too. As soon as the lockdown took effect back in March, our members started brainstorming ways to keep theater alive. In late March, we launched Theatre at Home on social media, where we had our members selecting sonnets to read each day. It was a way for us to escape from the terror of this pandemic, and it opened up a different way for us to work and to share the arts. Having support at a time like this is immensely important. Not everyone that’s been a part of this lives in Malverne, but they’ve all contributed to us and supported the arts in some way. My fellow group leaders and I had reached out to members and people who contributed to the MCT over the years, and we were really hoping that they would take part in Theatre at Home. I honestly thought that people might’ve been reluctant at first, but I was surprised to see how many jumped on board. This platform had brought together amateurs and professionals unlike anything else. Regardless of your experience in the arts, Theatre at Home has become the great equalizer. No matter who you are, we’re all stuck at home. We’re able to share this art in a non-judgmental way, and that’s a beautiful thing. The MCT has a wonderful group of people, and we’re all dedicated to the company, and more importantly, they’re all dedicated to the theater. We’re all just trying to make the best of it.

he pandemic has been a life-changing experience for me. The normal was no longer normal, and a new normal had to be made. It made me realize how quickly everything can change and how our world turned upside down in less than a month. I wanted to help my community in any way possible. A lot of places needed [personal protective equipment] such as gloves, masks and face shields, but they didn’t have the funds to receive it. I founded MID Donations with two classmates. It is a charity which donates PPE to those in need. We received donations and purchased the equipment from Assure Distribution, a supplier of this equipment. We donated with State Sen. Todd Kaminsky to fire stations across the Five Towns. We worked with the Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez to donate to the court systems in Brooklyn. We also donated to the 61st Precinct and 4th Precinct. I wanted to help as many places as possible that were in need. We hope to continue to donate to places that are in need. The coronavirus pandemic showed me how quickly everything can be taken away from you and to always help people in anyway that you can. Unfortunately, I lost my great-uncle due to the pandemic. He lived in Russia, and my family couldn’t even attend his funeral; it had to be done virtually. He always helped everyone he could and taught me to do the same. Every time I donate, I will think of him and know he is proud of me.

You’ve got to be taught to hate! Haters have no doubt that they are right. They know with absolute certainty that those whom they hate have no value. Those whom they hate are to blame. Blame for what? Blame for everything that’s wrong in their lives. Hate makes it simple to feel superior to others. Hate makes you feel virtuous, righteous, even honorable. Hate makes it easy to blame others for your own inadequacies. Rodgers and Hammerstein composed a song for South Pacific with the following lyrics: You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late, Before you are six or seven or eight, To hate all the people your relatives hate, You’ve got to be carefully taught! Some haters are taught in childhood. Some haters are influenced in later life by hate g roups. They’re fueled by hate propaganda. When they’re cheered on, they feel validated. When they’re applauded, they feel valuable. When they’re reviled by others, they feel righteous. With a hate group backing them up, no longer do haters need to feel

alone, lonely, useless. The group legitimizes their thoughts, their deeds, empowering them to debase, defile, demean the people they hate. Hate is the paste that binds haters to each other, to their ideology, to the destructive actions they take. There are times when it’s not enough for them to be only verbally abusive. They need to take action. How do they choose their target? Often, it’s a member of a racial or ethnic group. It’s whomever they view as worthless. It could be a destination - a church, a synainda gogue, a place of worship open to all. Why not blow them all to hell? How do they choose their weapon? Sometimes it’s simple. Just throw your victim to the ground and cut off their air supply. Sometimes it’s more complex; they build home-made bombs or use one of their many guns to accomplish the deed. The more vilified the target, the bigger their adrenaline rush. When

the destr uction is complete, they rejoice. They feel strong, omnipotent, virtuous. If negative consequences occur, so be it. A life that’s sacrificed for the greater good of the cause is the ultimate heroism! What is to be done about hate? Can we stop people from hating? Groups from promoting hate? How do we balance “freedom of speech” with the need to protect ourselves from those who seek to promote hate — in words and deeds? I wish I had a simple answer to these quesapadin tions. I don’t. But I do believe that the protests that are happening right now — after George Floyd’s murder — will make a difference. The statistics are startling. Between 2013 and 2019, 7,666 people have been killed by police. Black Americans are 2.5 times as likely as white Americans to be killed by police officers. Will the protests mean police pro-

Person to Person

cedures and personnel will be re-evaluated? I trust they will be. Will we promote tolerance in school? I have faith that this will happen. Will we regulate social media so that falsehoods and hate propaganda are not so easily spread? This is difficult to do, but I believe it’s terribly important! The ultimate goal of haters is to destroy whoever and whatever they hate. We cannot allow that to happen. We desperately need local and national leadership to be on top of the problem, mindful of ending — not spreading — hateful speech, actions and attributions. ©2020 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D. is a psychologist, coach and author in private practice who specializes in helping people become the best they can be.

MSSN earns high accolades Kosher Restaurant & Caterers Under Strict Rabbinical Supervision

sary this year and one of the world’s leading facilities for the treatment of diseases of the eyes, ears, nose, and throat — was nationally ranked in ophthalmology at No. 11. Now in its 28th year, the U.S. News Best Hospitals rankings help guide patients who need a high level of care because they face particularly difficult surgery, a challenging condition or added risk because of other health problems or age. To produce the rankings, U.S. News evaluates data on nearly 5,000 hospitals in 16 adult specialties, nine adult procedures and conditions and 10 pediatric specialties. To be nationally ranked in a specialty, a hospital must excel in caring for the sickest, most medically complex patients. “This recognition is a direct result of our team’s collaboration and commitment to excellence,” Dr. Adhi Sharma, MSSN’s chief medical officer and executive vice president of clinical and professional affairs. “The U.S. News & World Report recognition is among the most respected in the industry and is a testament to our mission to treat our patients with leadingedge medical technologies and adhere to the highest standards in patient safety and care.”

The 2020 edition of the U.S. News & World Report’s annual hospital rankings has recognized Mount Sinai South Nassau in Oceanside as “high performing” in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes and endocrinology, heart failure, orthopedics and urology. “Our ranking is a direct result of our ongoing commitment to excellence in patient-centered care and acknowledges our dedicated team of physicians, nurses and support staff, all of whom worked so tirelessly this year during the Covid-19 pandemic,” MSSN President and CEO Richard J. Murphy said. “Now more than ever, this recognition for our specialized care services is especially meaningful, and I am tremendously proud of our team for earning this honor.” MSSN is the Long Island flagship hospital of the world-renowned Mount Sinai Health System. The Mount Sinai Hospital is ranked No. 14 nationally by U.S. News & World Report. Its Department of Geriatrics earned the No. 1 spot in the nation in geriatrics, and five specialties are ranked among the nation’s elite hospitals: cardiology/heart surgery (No. 6); gastroenterology/GI surgery (No. 9); diabetes/endocrinology (No. 11); nephrology (No. 12); and neurology/neurosurgery (No. 12).

‘Adventurous’ Florence says goodbye to the 5T jbessen@liherald.com

Florence Steiger walked out of her Hewlett apartment building on Aug. 26 and was greeted by several board members from the National Council of Jewish Women-Peninsula Section, the organization that she has been involved with for more than 70 years. Steiger, 96, a lifetime Five Towns resident, made the NCJW a part of her long life, and the women that are her colleagues in volunteerism and longtime friends celebrated her moving to Minneapolis to be with family that Wednesday by presenting her with a certificate that recognized her as an “enduring leader” said Section Administrator Bonnie Sperry. The NCJW is a grassroots group of advocates and volunteers who are inspired by Jewish values to transform progressive ideals into action and strives for social justice by helping to improve the quality of life for children, families and women by protecting individual rights and freedoms. The Peninsula Section was founded in 1936. The NCJW was established in 1893, the oldest such organization in the country. “Whatever we needed help with Florence was always there, I will miss seeing her on my right at board meetings,” Sperry said. “She is very informed on the issue we were championing and had a

She has a real love for this organization.” That fondness began for Steiger after college she said. “Probably the first organization I joined after I came back from college,” said the retired elementary school teacher. “I got involved because of the education. It became a large part of our lives and the community.” From being a strong advocate for

NCJW causes, representing the group in Albany and across the nation, attending the annual Founder’s Day lunch and the card parties, Steiger who once served as the section’s vice president, said she was “willing to share the responsibility” to do what needed to get done. She served on the board since 1982. Always the one to be taking the photographs at the NCJW activities and programs, Sperry said, for

years with a camera then later with her phone. Judi Braverman has known Steiger since 1965, as Braverman’s mother-in-law was a friend of Steiger. Six years later, Braverman joined the NCJW. “Her students loved, there was always a student coming up to her and saying, ‘You remember me?’” Braverman said. “She is always full of life. Active, involved, beloved and adventurous are the words I would use to describe her.” Steiger with her husband, Aaron, traveled, especially through their retirement, and she continued taking trips abroad after Aaron died. Braverman recalled the 2013 Cuba trip that members of Temple Am Echad took to deliver medical supplies. “We each took 15 pounds of medical supplies, it was a long list, and there was Florence right with us and she had just come back from a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia,” Braverman said. “She is fun to be with.” The unassuming Steiger said that she did not know what her fellow NCJW members had planned on Aug. 26. “I was so impressed, I had no idea they were planning anything,” she said. “I just enjoyed the people I worked with.” The National Council of Jewish Women-Peninsula Section is headquartered at 342 Central Ave. in Lawrence. There is a thrift store at the same address. To become involved, call (516) 569-3660 or go to, www.ncjwpeninsula.org.

NASSAU HERALD — September 10, 2020

By JEFFREY BESSEN

Family Newspaper(s)

CLIENT APPRECIATION

OUR WAY OF SAYING THANK YOU!

Hiya pals. It’s good to be back having been deemed non-essential for so long. Truth is everybody else was so busy writing about Covid, masks (on and off), distancing (social and anti-social), the economy (ups and downs), feelings (ups and downs), protests (peaceful and notso), elections (national and very local), first-responders, second-responders and non-responders, Phases 1 through 4, government shutting down, governors never shutting up, vaccines, power outages, power company outages, storms, and so many other pleasantries, that I had nothing new to add to the Herald newspaper. That is until a new newspaper solicited my views: a family newspaper, aptly named GoldmaNews, put together by three granddaughters in Baltimore that informed and amused and distracted and united our family during this period of isolaon tion and stress. Separated by more than six feet, Janet and I and our four married kids and their kids, all submitted a variety (to us) newsworthy items every two weeks to our three editors who put it all together on time and in color, and then emailed it to the (I mean, our) world. Without stencils or mimeograph, printers churned out a bi-weekly collection of pithy pieces that included: original poetry, articles by Nana, a Pop (Pop) Quiz, a serial mystery, jokes, interviews, recipes, original cartoons, hand-drawn illustrations, puzzles, religious commentary, book reviews, news items, word games, biographical sketches, photographs, spotlight on relatives, Mad Libs, songs, art projects, memoirs, scrambles, gardening tips, high school reflections, graduation reflections, Covid-19 reflections, holiday reflections, notice of a Kahoot, a shared condolence, and hidden messages There were also visual word games, sports updates, product reviews, child-

hood stories, secrets revealed, logo fun, tales of great-grandparents, riddles, movie reviews, camp notes from sleepover day, stay-at-home and familycreated and run camps, points to ponder, a family emoji quiz, science projects, letters to the editors and questions for each family member to individually answer like: What do you think will never be the same after Covid-19? If you could eat any food without getting sick, what would it be? Besides Israel, what is the one place you would like to visit? If you had to pick one fun activity, what would it be? If you had to describe yourself as a color, what would it be? If you could give charity to only one institution for the rest of your life, which would it be? Who is your favorite character fro either, book, Bible, film, etc.? What make you happy? Ranging in ages from 24 months to 70 years, everyoldman one participated, not just in the writing but also in the enthusiastic reading (those who can read) and in the effort we each learned about one another; things we never knew or couldn’t have guessed: different skills, interests, views of the family and the world beyond the family. And it was the comments, from teen a like, “The love of family is life’s greatest gift,” and from a grandma “How blessed I am to be part of this family. The beginning and the end,” that turned a crisis into something of a celebration of creativity, cohesion, commitment, humor and love. After nine issues, though the GoldmaNews has closed down as its editors (and contributors) return to school and work, we’re sure everyone will, please God, continue to make news and share it. Meanwhile, I hope to return to the Herald, which for me and for so many, is out other family newspaper.

Lawrence High School administrators collected health for ms and checked in students as vehicles rolled past the front of the building on the first day of in-person instruction Tuesday. Principal Jennifer Lagnado-Papp, Assistant Principals John Ballantyne and Kathleen Stanley and Director of Health, PE & Athletics Christian Paulino assisted parents and directed students to head to their first period class. Lagnado-Papp said that 70 percent of the student body choose in-person learning as their primary mode of education for roughly the first half of the new school year as the coronavirus pandemic continues. The students, divided alphabetically into cohorts, rotate between in-person and remote learning using Google Classroom. Live streaming of classes gets under way Sept. 21. —Jeffrey Bessen

A. There’s always a reason why planning takes longer than you thought. People regularly ask how long plans will take. The response is (for the little bit you onte eeper described) three to four months, typically. It can take a little less time if you make decisions easily and meet regularly, or a lot longer if you need more time to decide. Permits may take another two or three months (or more). You can write a contract with time frames, and some clients do, but those are best-case scenarios, with many issues that cause delays being beyond your control or the architect’s, like a hurricane, an economic downturn — or a pandemic. Also, building codes change every three years, and new standards can change expectations. Some codes become more lenient, others more strict. While energy codes just ratcheted up (causing much greater expense), stair riser height requirements are now less. Zoning issues also change, as they have recently in your jurisdiction. While all this is happening, you may be consulting with relatives, friends and contractors who’ve “heard” you could do something that you really no longer can. Time that should be spent designing the project is then taken to undo decisions influenced by those who don’t know the facts, the structure or the law. Add to the mix that the interpretation from one official may be different from another, leading you to wonder, who do you listen to? I could fill a book with all the reasons why construction projects are delayed. Pressuring yourself or those around you usually makes the project more painful, and a less successful outcome more likely. It’s fair to expect that plans be done in an understood time frame, with regular progress meetings every two to three weeks. Consider that construction is way up, meaning it will take longer to satisfy every customer. Patience is a must. You can get things done in a “reasonable” time, with contingencies for sick time, holidays, vacations, weather — those things called “life” that get in the way. It just takes an honest relationship between you and those you deal with. Look at their track record before you hire and give them dates to work to. Make decisions and pick out appliances, materials and colors while waiting at each stage. Just remember, changes cause the biggest delays. Know what you want and stick to it. Good luck!

Q. We’re finally ready to add to our house, but dread doing it because of all the “wait time.” Our neighbors started planning two years ago and haven’t got plans yet. The house down the street is taking almost a year and still isn’t done. We just can’t wait that long. We want a contractor who gets the job done quickly, and plans and a permit in no more than three months. Can we write a contract with time limits, and if so, is it typical, and what Ask The happens if they don’t meet Architect the deadlines? We just don’t want to have to wait like our neighbors are.

Incumbent Mayor George Pappas is running for his third two-year term as the Village of Atlantic Beach mayor. Stephen R. Mahler, the mayor from 1996 to 2014, is challenging him. Mahler helped shape and improve the village in many ways during his time, including working to ensure Atlantic Beach attained its own zoning power. In Pappas’s six years in office, he has emphasized infrastructure projects, doubling the budget for them from $250,000 to $500,000 a year. He and the board of trustees have also maintained the village’s strong financial standing. We respect all that Mahler has done for the

Hewlett Harbor

Incumbent Mayor Mark Weiss is facing a challenge by Ron Austin. Kim Volman and David Mosayov are challenging incumbent trustees Tom Cohen and Kenneth Kornblau.

The incumbents have shown they can accomplish a great deal for the village, in particular initiating safety protocols such the use of the Ring Doorbell Security Network and installing license plate readers. Weiss and the board work collaboratively to maintain the village and take the time needed to resolve critical issues. It was disappointing that the challengers did not follow up with the Herald for an interview to hear their thoughts and ideas if they were to be elected. That, though, makes our endorsement of Weiss, Cohen and Kornblau an easy call.

Unopposed elections

There are uncontested elections in Cedarhurst, Hewlett Bay Park, Hewlett Neck and Woodsburgh. Residents should still exercise their right to vote and cast ballots in either support of the village candidates or support of the electoral process.

In Lawrence, it’s Edelman for mayor

village, but Pappas deserves another term in office. Incumbent Trustees Linda Baessler and Edward Sullivan are facing a challenge by Danielle Struss. A 12-year Atlantic Beach resident, Struss has an impressive background in finance, with 25 years in management consulting at a hedge fund. Struss would be a valuable board member, but Sullivan and Baessler each deserve another term. The incumbents have shown they understand decision-making on a village board. They have also helped bring communityminded activities to the village such as the Fall Festival, the beach campout, concerts and movies. We encourage Struss to stay involved with village politics

A record field of 10 candidates are vying for mayor, trustee and village justice in Lawrence. Whether that is the result of coronavirus pandemic-induced concern or a shot of enthusiasm for civic involvement, we love the increased participation. For mayor, incumbent Alex Edelman faces a challenge by Trustee Daniel Goldstein for the two-year term. Edelman has done a solid job of improving the village, from reducing the money being lost by the village-owned country club to improving the roads and working with the county on a flood mitigation project. Married to his plan for the sewage treatment plant land, selling it for up to eight single-family homes to realize $8 million to build an aquatic center at the country club, Edelman said the final choice should be made by the residents through a public referendum. Goldstein said a ballot cast for him would be a vote for change. He noted that Edelman has raised taxes three straight years. Goldstein said he believes the sewage treatment plant land should be sold and the money held in a rainy-day fund for road and sidewalk repair and other projects. We support Goldstein’s proposal to

install a bicycle lane near the country club and potentially move power lines underground. He supports the club remaining open space, but possibly becoming smaller in scope in the near future. The tax increases have been minimal and aimed to counter revenue losses from assessment grievances. Edelman has done a solid job, and we support the need for a public referendum on the sewage treatment plant land. Goldstein is a strong trustee, but we endorse Edelman.

trustee candidates

All of the candidates, including Bruce A. Backman, Uri Kaufman, Eli Kutner, J. Kolodny Lawrence, Dr. Joel M. Preminger and Paris Popack, spoke with conviction and are

well versed on the issues. Choosing two for the two-year term was tough. Kaufman has the experience and knowledge needed to help the village. Newcomer Kutner has a background in government and appears to be grounded with common sense. We urge residents to vote for Kaufman and Kutner.

Village Justice

Incumbent Village Justice Gary Mandel, an attorney, is being challenged by Schrage Rokosz, who is also a lawyer. Mandel is well acquainted with court operations and the judge’s responsibilities. Vote for Mandel on Sept. 15.

opinions

s the new school year begins, students, teachers and parents are understandably focused on the immediate issue of how schools are reopening amid the coronavirus pandemic. But the pandemic doesn’t let us off the hook. Long Island’s schools are highly segregated and becoming more so, and it is time that we addressed that, too. Long Island is one of the 10 most segregated metropolitan regions in the nation, and the problem is on the rise. As ERASE Racism revealed in 2017, dramatically more eLAine Black and Latinx Gross students on Long Island attended segregated schools then than 12 years earlier. Underlying that segregation is structural racism — the historical and ongoing racial discrimination, segregation and marginalization of African-Americans, in particular, that is typically instigated or sanctioned by government. In this case, it is perpetuated by the fact that Long Island’s two counties have 124 school districts. That fragmentation is not justified by educational priorities; it

is terribly inefficient and wasteful. It simply mirrors Long Island’s segregated residential jurisdictions. As we, as a nation, continue this year’s remarkable public discussion of race in the wake of the tragic killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, we need to come together and plan to end the segregation that has defined Long Island schools for so long. Fortunately, there are steps that we can take, and Long Islanders are already leading the way. ERASE Racism’s Student Task Force, which consists of 47 high school students from 20 school districts in Nassau and Suffolk counties, convenes monthly in an effort to deepen its understanding of structural racism and to develop ways to reduce it in Long Island schools. While it is an extracurricular activity, the students’ insights into how to make curricula more culturally responsive have attracted national attention. The Student Task Force’s members were invited this summer to create and present six culturally responsive virtual lesson plans in the prestigious, four-day Reimagining Education Summer Institute at Teachers College, Columbia University. Three of the students were fea-

istance learning is actually an extraordinary way to bring students together.

Letters ernments of the United States, Israel and the United Arab Emirates. She credits President Trump, Jared Kushner, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed with supporting a “path toward peaceful coexistence” between Arab countries and Israel. It should be pointed out that the United Arab Emirates has never been at war with Israel, and before this recent agreement — exchanging recognition of Israel for what may be only a temporary suspension of Israel’s plans to annex the West Bank — there was already important covert cooperation between the governments of Israel and the UAE. The UAE’s air and missile defense systems are manufactured in Israel and are probably even controlled from there. After the announcement of the agreement, Kushner mentioned that the deal made it more likely that the UAE would receive the F-35 jets the country is hoping to buy directly from the U.S. This deal seems more of a cynical business deal than a peace accord. It also furthers the military alliance between the U.S., Israel and the UAE against Iran. The trilateral deal between the two Middle East nations and the U.S. is actually an impediment to real peace in the region, as were the Trump administration’s decisions to move our embassy to Jerusalem and to support the continued

tured in a sold-out plenary session, titled “Rewriting L.I. Curriculum: Structural Racism,” watched by 1,000 educators nationwide. Before the pandemic, the task force met in person. Its members now convene on Zoom and, in doing so, highlight another opportunity: using distance learning as a vehicle for integration. While distance learning is being implemented by individual school districts, it provides an extraordinary mechanism for bringing together students from across school districts. Students from multiple districts can study together without being constrained by the geographic jurisdictions imposed on them by previous generations and their prejudices. Students might come together, for instance, to take Advanced Placement courses or International Baccalaureate classes. They could broaden their understanding by sharing insights with students from other backgrounds. They would enhance their education by benefiting from a variety of perspectives. In that context and more broadly, new curricula should be developed that are culturally responsive, reflecting the

diversity of race, ethnicities and cultures in our nation and our region. Fortunately, the State Education Department has already developed a “Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education Framework,” into which ERASE Racism had input. It helps educators create student-centered learning environments that affirm diversity, while preparing students for rigorous, independent learning and elevating historically marginalized voices, among other goals. To tackle structural racism in education on Long Island, there must also be engaged faculty, and this is another asset to build on. Over the past three years, 87 Long Island educators from 15 school districts and 37 schools have been named Rauch Foundation Fellows, and have been sponsored to attend the Reimagining Education Summer Institute at Teachers College. There they focused on teaching and learning in racially diverse schools and demonstrated a commitment on which Long Island can build. Long Island has a long way to go to eradicate the structural racism in its educational system, but it has resources to draw from, including student and faculty leaders pointing the way. Elaine Gross is president of ERASE Racism, the regional civil rights organization based on Long Island.

building and expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. It isn’t surprising that the Palestinian National Authority has denounced this most recent development and recalled its ambassador to the UAE. Making self-serving deals with antidemocratic, repressive, absolute monarchies isn’t the way to peace in the Middle East. Unless there’s real justice for the Palestinian people with agreements that restore full rights and sovereignty to them, no true and abiding peace will ever come to Israel and Palestine.

opinions

The economy needs emergency attention now

hree-quarters of a year into 2020, let’s all pray that the end of Covid19 is mercifully within view. Great progress is being made on fasttracking a vaccine, and once it is readily available, mass immunizations can begin, hopefully putting this scourge behind us. Let’s hope, too, that the nation can make some real progress in race relations. Everyone should want peace in our minority communities, with better relations between police and the public they are sworn to serve. But even after Covid-19 is defeated and law and jusAlfonse tice advanced, D’AMATo there will remain a huge challenge to America’s leaders. Despite the mainstream media’s fixation on the pandemic and the unrest across our cities, the long-term test we will face is creating a broad-based and sustainable economic recovery. Make no mistake, it’s the economy that New Yorkers are especially worried about. A recent poll listed it as their No. 1 concern. That’s not surprising, given that the latest unemployment rate for New York was 16 percent, compared with 10.5 percent for the rest of the country. In New York City the jobless rate was a stagger-

ing 20 percent. These are deep-recession unemployment numbers that will strain our state’s economy for the foreseeable future. And they hurt our poorest minority communities most. How do we climb out of this economic hole? The first rule should be not to dig ourselves deeper into it. At the height of the greatest recession since the 1930s, economists of all political stripes generally agree that this isn’t the time to slap big new taxes on struggling taxpayers and businesses. Instead, over the past few months, Congress and President Trump — along with the Federal Reserve — have pumped several trillion dollars into the economy to keep Americans afloat. That prevented the economy from falling into a second Great Depression. There’s broad-based agreement in Washington that more economic assistance will be needed to see the nation through the next few financial quarters. The president has indicated that he would support it, and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has repeatedly signaled he is ready to negotiate a realistic package with Democratic congressional leaders. This could pump another trillion dollars into the economy, including more help for ordinary Americans to pay for rent and food, and additional assistance to

struggling small businesses to keep their doors open and provide desperately needed jobs. For the rest of this year and into 2021, avoiding mass evictions and further losses of small businesses along with their jobs should be priority No. 1. Americans will also have to decide, on Election Day, what type of economic policies they want to see in Washington for the next four years. Before the pandemic struck, the Trump administration’s lower taxes and regulatory relief had helped produce the highest employment and the best economy in decades. Minorities and women had been especially helped by the rising economic tide. If in 2021 we take a step back to higher taxes, more burdensome business regulations and pie-in-the-sky boondoggles like the Green New Deal, our economy could end up hobbled for years. If you want to see what damage such heavy-handed energy regulation can do, look to California, where radical green-energy policies have left the state without adequate electrical power to keep the lights on. Rolling brownouts like those that plague thirdworld countries have become common across California. Take that ill-considered approach nationwide and the current recession could last until the end of this decade, or

here should be more help for people to pay for rent and food, and for small businesses.

beyond. Raising taxes, imposing economically stifling new business regulation and strangling our energy independence with bans on new energy development would dramatically slow the economic recovery. What will be needed instead for the foreseeable future are economic incentives for businesses and individuals to spur growth. One promising incentive program I’d like to see more widely applied is the socalled Enterprise Zone initiative devised by South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott. This program has broad bipartisan support. It targets tax relief to job-creating investments in some of our nation’s most economically distressed areas, helping lift hard-pressed communities. It should be expanded to cover more of those communities with broader investment incentives, especially for new manufacturing jobs. Right here on Long Island there are pockets of economic distress that could significantly benefit from an Enterprise Zone program. And leaders in Albany should consider adding state tax incentives in these zones as well to amplify the benefit. Because the economy needs emergency attention now.

Deliver the letter. The sooner, the better.

eet at the mailbox, we told our kids when they walked up the block to wait for the school bus. Those were the elementary school years when the yellow bus hauled them off to Franklin and then Hewlett Elementary School in the Five Towns. Of course you met at the mailbox, the ubiquitous blue mailbox, whatever your community and your particular RAnDi adventure that day. kReiss Those were the days, actually until very recently, when mailboxes were just there, as part of the landscape, a reminder of a service that delivered letters despite the climate, political or meteorological. My husband grew up in Lawrence, and he remembers getting mail delivery twice a day. Those were the days before mail sorters and USPS websites, and before mail-in voting became a controversial issue. With the acceleration of technology and advanced security measures, much has been lost, particularly the reassuring

notion we grew up with that the postal service was a dependable agency, not a victim of political infighting and a target of misinformation campaigns. Are mailboxes being carted away in the middle of the night to discourage voting? Is the postmaster general a decent CEO or a tool of a rogue administration? The world we live in is muddied with many disturbing questions. I am setting that aside and thinking today of the romance of mailboxes, which changed to brilliant blue in 1971 from red, white and blue. My first real letter exchange was with a pen pal I had in Israel. I still remember her name, Giza Shalev, and we wrote back and forth for a few years beginning when I was 10. It was the most thrilling and exotic connection in my life. I have love letters, and I have written love letters, and there isn’t a text or email that can compare to the ink on the paper and the intimacy of the handwriting from the person you love. I may have married my husband because of a love letter he wrote to me when we were seniors at Lawrence High School. He said he didn’t

understand his feelings, but he knew he couldn’t resist the “chemistry” between us. The guy wasn’t a writer, but this was real poetry. I still have that handwritten letter, which was delivered by our mailman in 1964. For one year of my life, my senior year in high school, the mail was the focus of all my ambitions. I deposited my college applications in the blue box, and received my answers in our front-door mail slot. How do we decide what to keep? I have a box of letters from other Lawrence High School friends from our first year away at college. Oh my, the drama and depression and yearning for home and for love and for what we had together before we opened our lives to a world away from best friends and yes, lovers. Everything came in the mail, from college grades to teacher’s licenses to job acceptance letters. My husband got his draft notice in the mail in 1967. I got my teacher’s license, and then, later, I branched out and sent freelance articles to newspapers and magazines and got my acceptances by mail.

hope these blue boxes continue to dot the land, and that we support the USPS.

One of the most significant letters I wrote was one to my Uncle Sidney, who was estranged from my family because my mother didn’t welcome his beautiful young wife. He declined the invitation to my wedding. But Uncle Sid had been my loving, funny uncle who took me to the Rockaway boardwalk to play Skeeball. I wrote to him — part supplication, part guilt, mostly loving memories — and begged him to come. He wrote back that he would, and he did. What was your best letter ever? Was there a letter that changed your life? When we married and had kids, there were impossibly worrisome camp letters referencing weird rashes and black snakes lurking in the freezing lake. Later, there were letters from our son’s bike trip in Denmark and our daughter’s long-haul hike in New Zealand. Eventually, sadly, email and texting supplanted personal letter writing. Still, I hope the big blue boxes continue to dot the landscape. I hope mail carriers and postal workers are supported in their work. And I hope every single person who needs to vote by mail can have his or her voice and choice heard. Copyright 2020 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

• COVID-19 HUNGER RELIEF The HWPSEF, in cooperation with our generous friends at Foodtown and King Kullen in Hewlett, have purchased over $7000.00 in grocery store gift cards which have been distributed through the School District food services to families in need due to COVID-19.

• FOREVER YOUNG KELLY The HWPSEF is partnering with the founders of this project to create a memorial and community activity area in Grant Park in memory of Kelly Ann Tinyes. Ms. Tinyes was a 13-year-old District 14 student when she was brutally murdered. The “Forever Young Kelly” project, started by a group of her friends, will include a memorial pathway and permanent outdoor activity installments including game tables for the community.
