Hewlett-Woodmere schools return to in-person learning

By MATTHEW FERREMI mferremi@liherald.com

In-person instr uction began again on Oct. 5 in the Hewlett-Woodmere School District. The Franklin Early Childhood Center had gotten a head start, with its pre-K to first-grade students returning on Sept. 23.

District officials said that roughly 11 percent of its 3,025 students have opted for remote instruction as the

coronavirus pandemic continues.

“The ability to provide full in-person instruction for the students who requested it would not have been possible without the hard work, determination, and patience of the entire Hewlett-Woodmere staff, parents and guardians, and of course, our wonderful students,” Superintendent Dr. Ralph Marino Jr. wrote in a district-wide letter last Friday.

“Seeing the happiness on the

students’ f aces as they returned to our buildings fulltime makes all of the hurdles we have scaled worthwhile.”

Nearly 72 percent of district parents surveyed in August chose full-time in-person instruction, and 17 percent picked the hybrid model — a combination of remote and in-person learning. The rest chose full-time online instruction.

Meeks runs unopposed for 12th congressional term

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

After winning a primary challenge in June, veteran Rep. Gregory Meeks, a Democrat from Southwest Queens who represents the 5th Congressional District, including Elmont, Inwood and north and south Valley Stream, is running unopposed for his 12th two-year term.

Meeks, 67, serves on the Committee on Financial Services and the Committee on Foreign Affairs. With Eliot Engel losing his June primary, Meeks is seeking the chairmanship of the Foreign Affairs committee. Pointing to his long-term membership on the committee Meeks said: “I can provide leadership that helps diplomacy. We can make a significant difference in our world.”

He highlighted that the committee touches on many issues from climate change to trade and the idea of a twostate solution in the Middle East, and with his district being one of the most diverse foreign affairs has a huge impact on his constituency. “You look at our relationships with other countries and you want to make sure there is human dignity for all and you are

doing it with a tremendously strong voice in that regards,” Meeks said.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the country’s economy, especially for small local businesses, Meeks said he is advocating for small business owners. “I think we have to make sure that small businesses are supported,” he said. “We could take the Paycheck Protection Program money convert some of the money as loans to grants to help small business come back and they are not wiped out. There could be tax exemptions. We want to make sure we sustain the businesses as more people are employed by small businesses.” As of September, 58.9 million people – 47.5 percent of the American workforce – are employed by small businesses, according to Fundera, a business funding company.

Seeing the social upheaval that has occurred in the country since the killing of George Floyd, Meeks said he supports the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act that was approved by the House of Representatives but is yet to be approved by the Senate. The legislation creates new requirements for law enforcement agencies to improve transparency on from reporting use-of-

Gregory Meeks force incidents to eliminate what are considered discriminatory policing practices.

“Policing is not done by laying a knee on one’s windpipe,” Meeks said, referring to the manner in which

Floyd was allegedly killed. “We need better policing that is more respectful.

We need greater diversity in all sectors.” He noted that more diversity is needed at the corporate level and minorities need access to capital.

Meeks said that investment in minority community financial institutions is needed to help people buy homes with low interest rates and help people build wealth.

In a world where what is called fake news appears more frequently and at first blush looks true, Meeks said that people need to “go back to the videotape” on what others have said previously, especially elected officials.

Without opposition, Meeks said he has been campaigning for the Biden/ Harris ticket as well as other candidates through many Zoom events. “We have to make sure that Biden and Harris do get elected and in the House of Representatives we have to maintain our majority,” he said.

And why should people vote for him? “Because they know I will work 24/7 on their behalf and I never forget the people I represent,” he said. “I have the coverage to fight for the people and I listen.”

In the Fourth Congressional District, incumbent Kathleen Rice, a Democrat from Garden City, faces Douglas Tuman, a Republican from West Hempstead.

The Fourth Congressional District includes Elmont, Baldwin, Bellmore, East Rockaway, East Meadow, the Five Towns, Lynbrook, Floral Park, Franklin Square, Garden City, Hempstead, Atlantic Beach, Long Beach, Malverne, Freeport, Merrick, Mineola, Carle Place, New Hyde Park, Oceanside, Rockville Centre, Roosevelt, Uniondale, Wantagh, West Hempstead, Westbury and parts of Valley Stream.

Before Election Day on Nov. 3, the Herald asked the candidates questions about important issues facing the district.

having a negative impact on local businesses, what could you do as a member of Congress to help ensure that businesses get what they need to survive?

Rice: The coronavirus pandemic has creat-

ed an unprecedented public health and economic crisis that we need to confront simultaneously. Nassau County has been one of the hardest-hit areas in the country and the current uptick in cases as we enter the cold weather seasons is troubling. We need to focus on creating new jobs to replace those that were lost, we need to help our small and mid-sized businesses get back on their feet, and we need to provide continued financial relief to the families who have been most affected by this pandemic. I held weekly conference calls with small businesses in my district with the Small Business Administration and local experts to help navigate the Paycheck Protection Program and other programs available. We also need to think urgently about how we can help our vast healthcare, education and transportation systems adapt to this new normal and ensure that they are prepared for future surges.

Long Island is in the process of re-opening, and that’s a good thing. But we need to make sure that our local municipalities, who provide critical services to our constituents, have the tools they need to operate safely and successfully in the weeks and months to come. All of this will require robust federal investment and I’m committed to helping our district secure the resources it needs to recover from this crisis and build back stronger. I am committed to getting a bipartisan relief bill through Congress that can be signed by President Trump. Our front-line workers and small businesses deserve so much better than the typical Washington gridlock.

Tuman: First and foremost, I would work across the aisle to immediately deliver financial relief to small businesses, families and citizens in the form of standalone stimulus payments. That would mean one bill that directly delivers support funding to small businesses and $1,200 stimulus

Kathleen Rice Incumbent

Professional experience: Prosecutor, district attorney, member of Congress education: Touro Law Center (1991), The Catholic University of America (1987) Political experience: Former district attorney of Nassau County checks to each eligible citizen, no strings or unrelated political objectives attached.

Right now in Washington, self-interested politicians and partisan politics have produced gridlock because both parties are trying to stuff unrelated policy measures into their bills. It is not time to play politics. We need relief now. My dual approach of providing funding to businesses and citizens will allow businesses to cover expenses to stay afloat, while improving our economy, which will in turn increase patronage at these small businesses. As businesses reopen, our government should provide personal protective equipment to promote safety and expedite economic recovery. As Congressman, I will introduce a bill that allows small businesses to deduct expenses incurred from the purchase of PPE supplies. We must also create a business-friendly environment to promote small business recovery, start-up, and consumerism in the coming years. To this end, I have developed a six-part tax reform plan that permanently extends pro-small business tax deductions, allows tax deferrals for start-up small businesses, eliminates the SALT cap, eliminates the marriage penalty, increases the child tax credit and increases allowable expense deductions for teachers. These tax reform measures will promote small business growth and consumerism, while making Long Island more affordable.

Herald: What do you think can be done to help assist in resolving the issues we have with race in this country on a local level?

Douglas Tuman Challenger

Professional experience: Commissioner of engineering for the Town of Hempstead (professional engineer and patent attorney) education: Stevens Institute of Technology and Hofstra University Maurice Deane School of Law Political experience: None Rice: When it comes to pursuing social

and racial justice, we need to first look at criminal justice and policing reform.

There is no question that we need to reform police practices in this country to ensure that everyone feels protected and served. I was proud to support the George Floyd Justice in Police Act, which would enact several immediate and life-saving measures to reform police practices in this country. But more broadly, if we want to create social and racial equity, then we need to address systemic inequities that still exist in education, housing, health care and employment. Many of these inequities have been laid bare during the pandemic. Black and Brown communities were hit hardest by the health and economic effects of this crisis, as well as the digital divide that has made remote learning difficult for many communities of color. I’m committed to fighting for these issues in Congress.

Tuman: I believe priority number one is

putting politics aside and electing leaders that actually listen to and act on behalf of our communities of color. In office for six years, our Congresswoman has continuously neglected communities like Hempstead, Roosevelt and Uniondale, and missed two times more votes than the average Congressperson in D.C. She has literally left our communities of color voiceless and voteless. From Hempstead to Freeport, I have visited every town in our district to hear about the issues that our communities of color care about: making Long

Island more affordable, ensuring safety and protection in our communities, recovering from Covid and improving our schools and local infrastructure. To our communities of color: I have heard you, and I will work for you. My goal is to ensure that the solutions we deliver and opportunities we create are equally available to all residents in our district. To provide safety and protection for all, we must work to support and improve relationships between our police and communities of color through joint community-law enforcement events and training. To improve schools and local infrastructure, we must redirect our federal funding to our own local schools, roads and public transportation.

Herald: Much like businesses, schools need help amid the pandemic. How can the federal government help?

Rice: The health and safety of our chil-

dren must be our number one priority.

This is not an issue where we can cut corners, shortchange funding or let politics dictate our course of action. Municipalities and school districts are financially strapped, and the federal government must provide further assistance so schools can continue to open and operate safely.

Unfortunately, providing aid to state and local governments, which would include funding for local school districts, has been a major point of contention in Covid relief negotiations thus far. We can look carefully at the final amount, but there is no question that further relief is needed. I hear it from superintendents and other local officials in Nassau County every single day.

We must be willing to compromise on the next bill, but I won’t ever compromise on the safety of our children. I will keep fighting in Congress until our local communities and schools have the resources they need.

Tuman: The federal government’s role in

education should be one of support, not control. Our federal government should provide grants to schools that lack the funding to acquire advanced learning technology, like iPads and laptops. At the same time, I unequivocally believe that parents, teachers and local administrators should make all decisions regarding school reopenings, school curriculums, afterschool programs, sports and related matters. Our parents, teachers and local communities know what is best for our children, not partisan politicians down in Washington, D.C. The federal government also has another indirect, yet hugely important, role in keeping our schools funded and successful. Our schools are predominantly funded by state and local taxes, namely property taxes, paid by residents and businesses in our school districts. It is vital that our federal government acts immediately in delivering relief to residents and businesses to keep them open. As Congressman, I would introduce a standalone bill to immediately deliver that relief.

Lawrence schools are closed at least until Oct. 23

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

With Lawrence and Cedarhurst in the orange and yellow zones, respectively, of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Covid-19 cluster hotspot initiative, the Lawrence School District is closed through Oct. 23. All Lawrence schools, except for the high school are in the orange zone of Cuomo’s threecolored chart he unveiled on Oct. 6.

“State officials are extremely concerned that without turning around the rising infection rate there will be a resurgence of the virus, Lawrence Superintendent Dr. Ann Pedersen said. “So with this cluster action initiative they are just trying to drill down the concern that is out there. My hope is that people not in school do not behave in a way that will not allow the objective to be met.” She said a reopening date is yet to be determined.

Her concern is the children, she said, who have “been tremendous making the adjustment and been so good wearing the masks, staying behind the shields,” and not will be losing live instruction. Lawrence schools did have four confirmed Covid cases in the first week of October that closed the Lawrence Primary School for a day.

The Lawrence Primary School at the Number Four School and the Number Two School, both in Inwood, and the Broadway Campus, which houses the elementary school and the middle school are in the orange area. The Number Two School is

home to the district’s universal Pre-K and kindergarten programs. “The students, teachers and staff have done a great job,” Pedersen said, “it has nothing to do with the school plan, it’s in the orange zone and that’s not negotiable.”

The Village of Lawrence became a hotspot for the coronavirus in recent weeks substantially exceeding the statewide infection rate of 1 percent. Mayor Alex Edelman said that the village is doing everything as “humanly possible” to emphasize that wearing masks, social distancing and handwashing must be done to help contain the virus. He said that the several synagogues he visited were adhering to social distancing protocols. “We sent out a letter to the rabbinate and I would say that up to 95 percent are adhering to the guidelines.”

On Cuomo’s chart which is geared more for many of the New York City hotspot clusters, but applies statewide, there are five types of activities listed: Worship, mass gatherings, businesses, dining and schools. Under the red zone, houses of worship are permitted 25 percent of capacity, 10 people maximum. Mass gatherings are prohibited. Only essential businesses are open. Dining is takeout only and schools are closed with remote learning only.

In the orange zone, houses of worship are allowed 33 percent capacity, 25 people maximum. Inside and outside mass gatherings are at a 10 people maximum. Highrisk non-essential businesses such as gyms and personal care are closed. Only

outdoor dining is permitted with a fourperson maximum at a table. Schools are closed with remote learning only.

Under the yellow zone, houses of worship are allowed 50 percent capacity.

Mass gatherings is a 25-person maximum. All businesses are open. Indoor and outdoor dining is permitted with four people max at a table. Schools are open with mandatory weekly testing of students and teachers and staff for inperson instruction. Fines for violating

the new restrictions could be as high as $15,000.

Cedarhurst Mayor Benjamin Weinstock pulled no punches regarding Cuomo’s present initiative. He noted that placing restrictions on houses of worship and mass gatherings and closing schools is not the right response. “It is the wrong solution, ineffective and puts people at risk,” Weinstock said. “It doesn’t solve the problem and with kids not in school it makes it worse.”

Saving a heart attack victim

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Nearly a year after being struck by a car outside her Inwood home on Oct. 18, Sasha Young, who heads Gammy’s Pantry inside the Five Towns Community Center in Lawrence and teenagers who volunteer at the Community Center helped to save a woman’s life on Oct. 7.

In the center’s parking lot between 3:30 and 4 p.m., the woman who regularly comes for the food available through Gammy’s Pantry and Long Island Cares, was unable to speak, Young said.

“I turned over Long Island Cares (a free food distribution at the center) to the kids and ran out,” she said. “After a few minutes she had a heart attack and went unconscious. I started CPR with the kids from the pantry assisting. After few sets, which seemed like forever, she began to vomit. Then unresponsive again. Continued CPR. Got a heart rate again.” The kids are the teenaged volunteers.

Young said that her daughter Alexandra Acosta held the woman’s head to comfort her. Angel Bran got a chair and along with Jonathan Folds helped her to the ground. Alexis Acosta, also Young’s daughter, and Edwin Rodriguez worked the pantry. “It was teamwork in its finest,” Young said. “It’s always how the dream works, but this time it save a life!”

“Unfortunately, I lost both of my grandfathers to heart attacks,” Young said, fortunately all of the CERT and CPR classes over the years paid off.”

CERT is the community emergency response team program that teaches volunteers disaster preparedness skills. CPR is cardio pulmonary resuscitation. She said the woman is recovering.

5T Community Center to become a Covid testing site

NASSAU HERALD — October 15, 2020

By MATTHEW FERREMI mferremi@liherald.com

In response to the increase in positive Covid-19 cases in the Lawrence and Inwood, County Legislator Carrie Solages (D-Elmont) spoke at the Five Towns Community Center in Lawrence about the importance of establishing the center as a testing center.

Solages said during the Oct. 9 news conference that County Executive Laura Curran will announce “next week” that the community center will become a Covid-19 testing site.

“I’d like to thank County Executive Laura Curran, we reached out to her and she has been very responsive to us,” Solages said. “I’m not going to give the details now but we’re going to have testing at the community center because we have to be more aggressive in handling this recent rise of Covid.”

Lawrence is the latest hotspot as state officials said that the community has had a Covid-19 positivity rate of 5.2 percent, which dwarfs the overall Long Island total of roughly 1 percent. Gov. Cuomo has designated the village as being in the orange zone of his Covid-19 hotspot map.

In the orange zone, houses of worship are allowed 33 percent capacity, 25 people maximum. Inside and outside mass gatherings are 10 people maximum. High-risk nonessential businesses such as gyms and personal care are closed. Only outdoor dining is permitted, with a four-person maximum at a table. Schools are closed, with remote learning only.

Sasha Young, who heads Gammy’s Pantry inside the Community Center said having a testing site is vital.

“We have over 2,000 families in our community registered with Long Island Cares,” Young said. “Having a testing center local for families who are already receiving life-saving services here at the community center is

Former Community Center Executive Director and longtime board member Pete Sobol noted how Inwood is sandwiched between two hot zones in Lawrence and Far Rockaway. “The only way to contain this virus and protect our people is to test and we’re going to do our part to make sure the spread of this virus stops at this center,” Sobol said. “It’s the oldest community center in the state,

it’s a place where Martin Luther King Jr. has come and visited. It’s a cornerstone of this community that has helped save lives for 115 years.”

Solages added that community members and leaders must take this increase in positive cases seriously.

“We’re at a very important time right now,” he said. “If we don’t take precaution with the increasing rate of Covid-19 in our community, we’re going to have a worse situation than where we were in March and April.”

Nobel literature prize-winning poet is from Woodmere

October 15, 2020 — NASSAU HERALD

Woodmere native and Hewlett High School alumna, class of 1961, Louise Glück was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature. Famous for her poetry collections, the Yale University writer-in-residence adjunct professor is also a Pulitzer Prize winner for “The Wild Iris” in 1993.

Glück, 77, named the country’s 12th Poet Laureate in 2003 she served in that esteemed role through 2010. Her writing awards also include the National Humanities Medal, National Book Award, National Book Critics Circle Award, the Bollingen Prize, and several other honors.

Her work is considered autobiographical and the Swedish Academy that oversees the Nobel award said Glück earned the prestigious prize “for her unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal.”

She is the 16th woman to win the Literature award. Glück has also been a visiting faculty member at several institutions including Boston University, the renowned Iowa Writers Workshop and Stanford. University. She was inducted into the Hewlett-Woodmere Alumni Association’s Hall of Fame in 1998.

Hewlett resident and WWII veteran Joseph Belilos, 95

By MATTHEW FERREMI mferremi@liherald.com

To those who knew Joseph Belilos, he was a man of great devotion to God, his country, family, friends and the New York Yankees.

The Hewlett resident Belilos died on Sept. 24 from natural causes at NYU Winthrop Hospital in Mineola. He was 95.

Born on Jan. 17, 1925, in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn as the seventh of nine children to Sephardic Jewish immigrants, Eli and Rena. He grew up in a three-bedroom brownstone in Bensonhurst down the street from the Sephardic synagogue where Eli served as the cantor.

With the news of the atrocities against Jewish people in Europe, Belilos was eager to join his older brother Abe in service. At age 17, he tried to enlist in the army, but was turned away and forced to wait until his 18th birthday to join. At age 19, a Private First Class in the infantry, he landed on the beaches of Normandy in D-Day and helped to liberate France.

Belilos met his wife of 64 years, Joan, in Miami while waiting in traffic for a raised drawbridge to close. They were married on June 13, 1956, in Miami and settled in Far Rockaway in 1961. In the early 1980s, they moved to Hewlett. Together they raised three children, Renee, Elise and Elliot. He worked as a salesman as he sold to retail electronics until his retirement in the early 1990s.

Elliot said that his father was a hard-worker who always put his family first. “He was an entrepreneur, a salesman and an honest businessman,” he said. “Growing up through the Great Depression taught him the value of frugality, but he was generous to a fault, often

Facebook

HEWlETT REsIdEnT JosEpH Belilos was a World War II veteran who landed on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day in 1944 making personal sacrifices so his children would be afforded the best education possible and ensuring that no loved one would ever go hungry.”

Renee Shaw described her father as a kind-hearted person. “He was generous, honest, loving, hard working, soft spoken, devout to his Jewish faith and a passionate

family man,” she said.” He was one tough guy from the greatest generation as he survived cancer twice. His last spoken words to me were, “I like to see your smile and I love you babe.”

Elliot added that his father never missed a Yankees game, from seeing Mickey Mantle finish his career and Reggie Jackson win the 1977 World Series to listening to the team win one more time just before he passed. He was seldom seen without his Yankees cap on. But perhaps his greatest joy came when he watched his grandchildren playing the game he grew up loving. A two-time cancer survivor, he held onto life long enough to see his daughter, Elise, marry her college sweetheart in a small outdoor ceremony in the park near her home.

Belilos is survived by his wife of 64 years, Joan, his daughter Renee Shaw, and her significant other, Robert Wilson; daughter Dr. Elise Belilos and her husband, Donnie Braunstein, son Elliot and his wife, Kathi Reidy; six grandchildren, Kali Saxton-Shaw and her husband Dan Saxton, Jeannine Shaw and her husband Brett Reeder, Alayna Shaw, Matthew Rivera, Ellie Belilos, Andy Belilos; Joe’s great grandson, Cooper Joseph Saxton; as well as loving neighbors he considered family, Bill and Lisa Dubin and their daughter Maya.

Belilos was buried at Mount Golda Cemetery in Huntington on Sept. 27. In lieu of gifts, the family is asking for donations to the Interfaith Nutrition Network in Hempstead.

“His great grandson Cooper Joseph has his namesake and every family member is lucky enough to have known him and carry on with his essence,” Shaw added. “Rest in peace dad.”

When Max and Ashley Kramer decided to buy their first home together before Covid-19 hit, they quickly realized it would be a lot of work. “We went on a whim to look at a few houses before we were prepared at all,” Ashley said. “That was important for us because it made us realize, ‘Ok, we need a team. We can’t do this on our own.’”

To begin the process in April, they first called a mortgage broker. Though they lost out on deals for two homes because of the fast-paced market, they landed in a house that they say they are happy with in North Bellmore.

The Kramers shared their first-time home-buying experience on the latest in a series of Herald Inside LI webinars produced by RichnerLive, a division of Richner Communications, publisher of Herald Community Newspapers, discussing different aspects of life in the Covid-19 pandemic.

On Oct. 8, the couple was joined by panelists Scott Wallace, certified buyer representative and real estate salesman at Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty; Matt Korman, licensed real estate broker at Douglas Elliman; and Veronica Ferrero, assistant vice president and community lending coordinator at Emigrant Mortgage Company Inc. Moderator Skye Ostreicher, of RichnerLive and Herald Community Newspapers, first asked the panelists the most important thing a first-time homebuyer should know. The experts’ resounding answer was to find a reliable team, composed of a mortgage broker, a buyer’s real estate agent and an attorney, who will help at every step of the way.

“It’s all about communication between everyone,” Wallace said, “and unfortunately, in this market right now, I feel for the buyers out there. They’re trying so hard, and they are qualified; sometimes they just need a little more education about their qualifications.”

Ferrero said that step one in the home-buying process is to do what the Kramers did — consult with a mortgage broker, assess finances and answer questions like, “How much am I comfortable spending?” and “How will I show proof of income, credit, savings and assets?”

“The most important thing is to plan, to budget and to basically check your credit and speak to somebody that will be pre-approving you,” she explained, “because if you don’t have that pre-approval or you don’t start that process, it’s going to be difficult to know where to go from there.”

In the time of Covid-19, securing a pre-approval or pre-commitment based on finances is crucial, the panelists agreed, because many sellers will not allow buyers into the houses without one.

The next step for a buyer is to decide where they

want to live. Consult with a real estate agent who knows the areas well, walk through the neighborhoods and decide what they want and need in a home.

“I’m seeing a trend from west to east as people are coming out of apartment living and are wanting more space,” Korman said. “People aren’t necessarily going to be going into the city office five days a week anymore.”

While there is high demand for people moving out of apartments and into larger homes on Long Island, there is also low supply of homes on the market. This means the market moves quickly, and everyone needs to be on top of their game when making offers, the panelists said.

Max suggested securing a pre-commitment rather than a pre-approval for the mortgage. “Our offer was a little shakier because it was lower, and we didn’t have a commitment to lend so that would have helped us on the terms side,” Max said of the Kramers’ first offer on a house.

Once an offer is accepted, Korman explained that time is of the essence — a buyer needs to immediately call to schedule an inspection and close on the deal, especially in today’s hot market. “It’s very stressful for

all,” Wallace said.

Max said to expect large closing costs, especially on Long Island. “The down payment you expect,” he said, “the closing costs you don’t, and they’re high — you’re talking $15,000 to $20,000, and that’s not going toward the principal of your house.”

There are several grants available for first-time homebuyers, either to go toward down payments or renovations, Ferrero said. These include the state’s SONYMA program, homebuyer “dream” programs with certain banks and down payment assistance programs.

Wallace encouraged people to visit the Long Island Housing Partnership website, lihp.org, to learn more.

“It’s important to educate people and not scare people,” Ferrero said. “Markets change. Never give up because there are programs out there to help you and homes for you. It may not be the right time for you but that time will come.”

continued from front page since,” Jen said “Back in 1989, most Friday nights would be spent at Grant Park to hang out and ice skate. We’ve teamed up with the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Schools Endowment Fund and created plans for a memorial at Grant Park.”

The endowment fund is an independent organization of alumni, families and friends who support publicschool activities and programs in the Hewlett-Woodmere district. The funds being raised now by community members will be turned over to the endowment fund, which will work with the Nassau County Parks Department on how the construction will be done.

Endowment fund board member David Friedman said that the memorial has been the subject of discussion for almost a year, and noted that the fund’s past working relationship with the Parks Department will help the process move along. “When this idea was brought to us, we thought this would be a really nice thing that can benefit the community and Hewlett-Woodmere students,” Friedman said. “A lot of Kelly’s friends still live in the community and have been donating to this project, which has been great.”

The memorial plan calls for replacing an area of concrete near the park’s entrance with engraved bricks, benches and recreational tables. Fundraising began late last month, and the organizers’ goal is to raise $25,000 raised by Feb. 1. “Any monetary donation is welcomed and appreciated if you don’t want to buy a brick or bench,” Jen said. “If we reach over $25,000 in donations, we’ll donate the additional funds to charity.”

Hewlett native Mindy, who also declined to give her last name for the same reason as her friend Jen, said that roughly $13,200 had been raised as of press time, which she found astonishing. “It’s mind-blowing that

Forever Young Kelly Brick Campaign

this much money has already been raised for this,” Mindy said. “Not only have people that knew Kelly donated, there have also been some businesses who donated to the cause.”

The plan is for work on installing the bricks and benches to begin on or around March 5, which would have been Tinyes’s 45th birthday.

“The amount of donations this has received shows

that for anyone who knew Kelly, they put their heart and soul into anything to support her and her family,” Jen said. “Everyone knows the unfortunate story, and after all these years they still want to show their support for Kelly.”

Donations and purchases of personalized bricks can be made at https://bit.ly/2SKfgTD. For more information, contact Mindy at Audi499@aol.com.

Working from home

By Chelle Cordero

E

ven those of us who enjoy our jobs have had those days when we just didn’t want to get up and leave the house early in the morning to commute to our office, watch the clock and then suffer that long, tiring commute back home. Little did many of us know we were going to face a time when we didn’t (couldn’t) have to leave our homes to go to work and that the family kitchen table would become our office.

The Covid-19 pandemic changed our lifestyles and uprooted our daily schedules. While many people had to show up on location as essential workers, there were also those whose jobs mandated our input from our remote locations.

How did this drastic upheaval change business?

Both Mike and Len went from working onsite in managerial positions to working from respective home offices. Each one has maintained their scheduled work hours and kept breaks and lunchtimes according to their office schedules. Mike gets dressed in normal business attire as part of his mindset; Len chooses more casual clothing to work in.

“My No. 1 trick for being productive is that I have a space that is set up to be conducive to working. I don’t accept the notion that working at home means I can sleep in and make it up on the backend,” explained Mike. “The biggest problem is the lack of availability to quickly ask

co-worker a question. I have to email or call which can lead to waiting and less productive days due to the additional steps.”

“My job, which is normally done at the office, usually includes a lot of in-person trips to courts and other agencies. Since I’ve been working from home, I’ve been able to accomplish my normal deskwork although I have had to rely occasionally on outside services like Kinko for heavy-duty printing, etc. Although I have work programs on my computer I lack the heavy-duty and faster office machinery so it slows things down,” said Len who also added that waiting to discuss items with co-workers was time-consuming Cristina, a private practice mental health professional who regularly works from home, explained that she uses separate phones and laptops for work and personal use. At the end of the day, she logs off and tries to separate her work from home life. She tries not to stay at her work desk too long and takes breaks when needed to avoid “ruminating on issues that, oftentimes, I can step away from if I leave my laptop and work phone at the office.”

Maintain boundaries It’s very important to keep boundaries between your work and your personal life when you are living and working in the same place. If your work relies on interacting with colleagues regularly, many of use are using chat and audio/ visual applications like Zoom, Cisco Webex, Skype, Facebook Chatrooms or Facetime. If you

are part of a team, it helps to start the day with an early morning phone call or virtual meeting.

When working from home gets to you and you find you need a change pick up your laptop and visit an internet cafe, be sure to use a Virtual Private Network for security.

Elise Nicpon, sales manager for nationally known Room & Board Business Interiors, recommends that all homeworkers choose an area for work that would most inspire productivity.“Keep your desk clear of anything you don’t need for your work,” says Nicpon. “An organized desk will

feel calmer and more conducive to productivity.

Light your work area to relieve eyestrain. And most of all, your chair is important, choose a comfortable and supportive seat, preferably a desk chair.”

After creating your environment with a comfortable chair, an organized desk and prepped tech, you will be set up for successful remote working space.

uckily, we were not affected professionally by the pandemic. Rachelle and Renee were fortunate to be able to work from home since March, and Sarah worked in person throughout the entire pandemic, while her children learned remotely from home.

All things considered, the pandemic forced us to sit still and watch our houses become offices, schools and safe havens. This moment of mindfulness allowed us to truly “see” our community without the noise.

We watched as Elmont was one of Nassau County’s hardest-hit communities by coronavirus. The news disclosed how the coronavirus disproportionately affected African-Americans and Latinos. Elmont’s population is mostly African-American and Latinx. And then the murder of George Floyd unfortunately happened.

We realized that we need to take care of our own. We need to take care of Elmont because Elmont deserves better. This sparked Elmont Strong Inc., with our mission statement: “We imagine a better and more beautiful Elmont. We will enact on those ideas to make change happen through beautification, public relations efforts and opportunities for continuous community involvement, and building partnerships and active participation with local institutions and businesses. Most importantly, we want to empower the community and youth to foster civic leadership in order to make Elmont a community with pride.”

veryone at Crossroads Farm felt just as nervous as the other residents when the village was on lockdown. Once we were deemed as essential, we carefully researched and put together a plan that would allow visitors on the farm in limited numbers, and we figured out a way to hold things together financially. While we followed Covid-19 guidelines for both staff and the visitors, we still wanted to give people an opportunity to feel like they’re part of the farm.

We were forced to limit our volunteers this year to adhere to the state’s health and safety guidelines, so we had a lot of the same farmers working on a daily basis to grow organic food. Food was becoming a necessity for many residents, so we decided launch a weekly farmers market at the end of March. We’ve done this without any kind of hiccup. We couldn’t do any of our usual events, but I feel really happy about what we were able to do under these circumstances.

Later in the spring, our education directors at the farm established a virtual program for the children as part of our educational program to maintain a connection to the farm. It was a way for us to continue to do community building during the pandemic.

Thanks to all of the events that we’ve been able to hold, we’ve seen a lot of new visitors from surrounding communities. That was one of my biggest goals for years. It’s given me a personal reassurance that we’re doing the right thing. The fact that we came out of this with a sense of enhanced relevance certainly reminds us of our purpose for being here.

aren Mobley: Covid has been like a punch indescribable, and Sharon talked about how people couldn’t make ends meet and wished she could help them with one of the expenses that would be important. She decided it would be food. I asked my boss if I could not work on Fridays to help her.

We have been running it every Friday with [several other Rockville Centre community members]. We’re able to be a blessing to about 70 families a week. When we are lacking with donations, our church has taken up a collection and contributed. The members there come out and volunteer and run the pantry.

Mid way through our run, Sharon was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer and had to start chemo and radiation. Everyone is asking for her to thank her. Our sons participate, too. It’s become a family and community project.

We wear a mask, sanitize things; we allow one person in at a time. Anytime during the hours we distribute, you can find a line of people waiting to get in to get food. We love the pantry, we’ve met so many great people, and we’ve become family and look forward to seeing them every week.

I’m excited and full of joy because the people are going to be able to have food for over a week, we’re getting so much stuff. I feel that during this time, we’ve put politics and personal issues aside to come together to meet the needs of those who didn’t ask to be put in this position that the pandemic caused them to be in and taking it one day at a time.

uring this pandemic, one unique difference with our kindergarten students is that they report to school daily, in-person and five days a week. My class does not follow the hybrid schedule. The pandemic has changed how I interact with my students because we have no personal contact.

High-fives have been replaced with foot taps, and air hugs stand in place of real hugs. It is really hard to not hug or high-five a kindergartener.

Another change caused by the pandemic is that the students are becoming more technologically literate in order to supplement classroom instruction, despite their young age. It is truly amazing to see how quickly they pick up new skills on their iPads. I am proud of how much they have learned already.

Other changes that the pandemic has caused for us is that we perform temperature checks in the morning, students eat their lunches in the classroom with limited movement in the hallways, and we have plexiglass shields around the perimeter of each student’s desk.

The job of a teacher is ongoing. At this time, I am working the same amount of hours that I was working prior to the pandemic, if not more, to make sure that I am able to meet all the needs of my students. It is important to me that I deliver instruction that is meaningful and engaging, despite the circumstances.

When I think about how teaching looked at the beginning of the pandemic to now, I am grateful that six months later, I have the opportunity to go to work each day.

Q. We have a situation where our new house was finished but our contractor didn’t get any inspections.

Now we can’t get our certificate of occupancy. We replaced our house after Hurricane Sandy, and because it’s taller, it needed sprinklers. The contractor died and left no paperwork or permits for us. The plumber seems to have retired and left the state. We’re scrambling to figure this out. The building inspector is trying to help, Ask The and says we need all the Architect plumbing and electrical inspections, which means getting a new plumber and an electrician, who we located and is helping by giving us his sign-off, which we understand is through a private agency. We don’t understand why there’s a private agency instead of our building department. Don’t they give electric permits? The onte eeper hard part seems to be the sprinklers in our ceilings.

Our architect, who drew the plans and showed the sprinkler head locations, says he can’t sign the affidavit the inspector needs without a sprinkler test, and nobody knows who installed the sprinkler plumbing. What can we do to get this over with?

M

L

A. The common theme of everything you describe is a lack of respect for rules and the shirking of responsibility by people who do the work.

The contractor, may he rest in peace, as with all contractors, had an obligation to get inspections when working in your municipality under your permit. He also had an obligation to make certain the permit was in the owner’s possession and that they were working with copies to protect the original documents, which are as valuable as the closing papers on your home.

The new plumber you’ll hire needs to get his name and license number registered with your municipality as the plumber of record, and hopefully knows how the sprinkler system works and can test it for the architect to see and approve. I’m always amazed that authorities who grant permits and issue licenses to plumbers and electricians don’t require those two professionals to sign their own name to their own work, just like any proud, licensed craftsperson should do. Instead, the same municipality makes it necessary for an engineer or architect, who had nothing to do with the installation, make a written statement that the system was installed to code and works correctly. So if the system fails, the plumber who installed the sprinklers walks away and the municipality points its finger at the architect or engineer when insurance inspectors step in to try to diminish the insurance payout and collect funds by suing the architect/engineer in order to settle your insurance claim.

Architects and engineers don’t install or maintain building components. This particular procedure was purposely made complicated to avoid responsibility but to make it look like you’re protected, which is also why municipalities ask for a private agency to do your electrical inspection.

They know that electrical work is a contributor to fire and avoid that responsibility, too.

opInIons

I wondered why we see more demonizing than discussing; why what the media calls “debates” are really more like serial assertions, leaving essential questions undiscussed. Then I considered why elected officials of all stripes need each other. Why can’t we disagree without being disagreeable? What lessons are we teaching our children?

Democrats are criticized for reliance on government for progressive social policies and infrastructure funding.

Republicans want to cut taxes and reduce government. But infrastructure is needed to provide the platforms that Republicans expect for entrepreneurs to succeed. No millionaire or billionaire can legitimately claim that he or she did it alone. They, and certainly those who helped them, were most likely educated in public schools, drove to work on public roads, relied on police and firefighters, and used publicly licensed airwaves to communicate.

They took for granted that they could eat safe foods and breathe clean air. In other words, entrepreneurs succeed by using facilities and systems funded by the taxes they don’t want to pay.

Many anti-government types acknowledge this when they talk about “giving back” in recognition of the advantages society provided them. Far too often, though, these tax-deductible charitable contribu-

W

tions serve as “voluntary taxation,” supporting personal priorities instead of the public ones that should be funded by taxes.

And there are notable problems that result from too little government involvement: an inadequate and inequitable health care system, a lack of pandemic preparedness, rampant racism, financial meltdowns, unprotected water and produce, and cities and towns that are ravaged by hurricanes and forest fires.

We suffer from too much focus on individual freedoms and not enough on collective responsibility.

This doesn’t mean that government is the answer to every problem — or that business and the market are the sources of all wisdom. There are proper functions for government and proper functions for the market, and ignoring the unique missions of either usually leads to difficulty. The market seeks profit maximization, the public seeks safety and assurances and each balances the other.

Over time, disparate groups around the world have peacefully reached agreements on issues as diverse as the Law of the Sea treaty, international telecommunications, air traffic control, the calendar and time zones, to name just a few. In each case, all gained through compromise. They built on the unique characteristics of cooperation and tolerance.

e need leaders who will work on behalf of the public, not just party or base.

These examples give me hope that differing points of view can find common cause in the highly inefficient use of tax revenues. On Long Island, for example, we have some 900 taxing authorities, each with a board and administrative structure. Think of the numerous towns and villages in our two counties, and the school, water, sewer and library districts that serve our population of 2.8 million.

The challenges ahead are too large for either the government or the market to solve by themselves. Energy uses and sources, unconstrained financial instruments and natural disasters like rising seas are greater than either sector can handle alone.

We need less anger and attitude. Instead we need committed leaders who will work on behalf of the public, not just party or base, and an informed citizenry prepared to debate them in order to bring all sides together to address common problems with common sense.

And we, the public, should commit ourselves to elect new representatives when those in office are more committed to noise than negotiation. Only when this happens — when we can debate without shouting, and disagree without being disagreeable — can we begin to spend tax dollars more wisely on the highest priorities, and not continue to borrow from the next generation.

Robert A. Scott is president emeritus of Adelphi University.

As if it couldn’t have gotten worse, he was contagious

M

illions of Americans seem to be manifesting what has been called “insane” behavior: They keep doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different and better result. They keep flouting coronavirus regulations, and, even though such behavior has killed an outrageous number of Americans, they still expect a different outcome for themselves. They are surprised when they get sick.

In the midst of a RAndI surging pandemic, kReIss they won’t wear a simple mask, even as the highly contagious virus sweeps across the country.

They continue circulating the same lies about Covid-19 that have challenged the medical community from the beginning.

These lies, minimizing the threat of the disease, undermine epidemiologists and embolden people to take risks that may land them in the ICU. Even though people at the White House are dropping like flies, those loyal to President Trump don’t see the necessity of a course correction in White House corona-

virus protocols. They are still ready to attend Trump’s mask-optional rallies without social distancing, even after people have gotten sick and died after such public events. Just ask Herman Cain.

Millions think it’s OK to move about in public without observing the basic safety precautions issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

They have no problem with sitting within spitting distance of the speaker at the podium. Witness the president’s unmasked children sitting in the audience at the first debate.

I still see people without masks in local stores. They apparently believe that if Covid-19 isn’t a hoax, then at worst it’s no big deal, and in Trump’s case it’s “a blessing in disguise.” So, no worries.

And why should they fret? The president of the United States isn’t worried.

Even after testing positive, after suffering various clinical symptoms of Covid-19, having at least two episodes of low oxygen levels and spiking a fever, he is champing at the bit to hold rallies and even an in-person second debate with Joe Biden.

At press time, the White House was refusing to release his updated Covid-19 test results. These aren’t his tax returns;

A

this is life and death. He was a one-man source of contagion, with more than 30 people and counting in his inner and extended circle falling ill with the disease.

It hasn’t been determined who is Patient One in the White House cluster, but Trump is doing nothing to urge contact tracing or rigorous testing.

Even sick, he insisted on that notorious joy ride around Walter Reed Army Medical Center, exposing everyone in the presidential SUV to the virus. In his widely mocked “Covita” appearance from a White House balcony, looking like your generic dictator, he insisted he was cured. It was like a miracle.

Actually, it was ill-advised and seemingly delusional.

With Donald Trump, there is absolutely no learning curve, and on some level, that’s the worst thing about him. He doesn’t learn, he doesn’t evolve, he doesn’t get enlightened, he doesn’t ever apologize for his mistakes.

He could get lucky and survive, but as we went to press, he should be in isolation, according to many medical experts. Nevertheless, he insists he is fine, and is going about his business, often without a mask and without observing social distancing.

nd Trump hinted that the Gold Star military families might have gotten him sick.

He has learned nothing from this bout with Covid-19.

The novel coronavirus has brought about a novel realization. The president is unable to learn from his blunders and misapprehensions because he cannot acknowledge making mistakes. He never regrets; he never apologizes. Bad outcomes are always someone else’s fault.

In the case of his Covid-19, he hinted that the Gold Star families he greeted at the White House might have gotten him sick.

But he may have known he was positive for the virus before he received the military families in the White House, with few masks in sight. How could he not spread the infection he carried? In an interview, he said the Gold Star families love to touch him and kiss him. Some, I imagine, may pay a price for that privilege.

In the criminal justice system, someone who can’t learn from his mistakes is known as a repeat offender. Repeat offenders in the time of Covid are those who keep walking through this viral fire without expecting to get burned.

I must be insane, too, because I fully hoped that a chastened president might express thanks for his recovery and then embrace all the Covid-19 precautions that would keep the people around him safe.

NASSAU HERALD — October 15, 2020

I

was asked by a local proprietor why so many educators vote Democratic. I asked, “How do you know they do?” He blithely answered, “Well, I read it in the paper.”

Our brief exchange was a friendly one, but it reminded me of how our nation’s deep political divisions now seem to define our daily discourse. Just in the past few years, the political trenches have become that much deeper and, sadly, the “debate” is that much more indecorous.

What can we do to stem the excesses of partisanship, RoBeRT A. which I believe are infecting our politisCoTT cal process and the ability to make sound decisions on the most critical issues affecting our society? Think about the resistance to wearing masks and respecting social distancing.

After the storekeeper’s comment, I began wondering why it seems that Republicans and Democrats can’t work together; why politics involves divisiveness, damning and distortion of the truth; why so many seem relentlessly opposed but not engaged.

The certitude they show reveals no moral anguish about critical issues, like immigration, which must be reformed if we are to admit the talent we need at all levels.

Why can’t we work together?

Breast screening is still a must, despite pandemic

t

here is perhaps no disease that strikes greater fear in the hearts of women than breast cancer. It is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths, behind lung cancer, and the second-most-common form of cancer among women, behind skin cancer.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor the many who have died while spreading the word that early detection is key to preventing deaths.

It’s an excellent time to have a mammogram or make an appointment to get one.

Screenings and treatments, however, are down dramatically since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Breast imaging has dropped by 62 percent, genetic counseling by 26 percent, breast surgery by 21 percent, and as of August, new cancer diagnoses by 52 percent, research shows.

Medical experts are urging women to be screened and keep up any treatments and surgeries.

Breast cancer occurs when cells grow beyond their normal bounds. The cancer can then metastasize — that is, spread through the blood or lymph systems to other parts of the body.

The average age of diagnosis for breast cancer is 62, though experts recommend that women begin having annual mammograms at age 45, and as early as 40 for women with histories of breast cancer in their families.

Though the symptoms can range widely, some of the most common include: ■ A lump, knot or thickening under the breast or in the underarm area.

■ Swelling, redness or darkening of the breast.

■ Change in a breast’s size or shape.

■ An itchy, scaly sore or rash on the nipple.

■ A pulling-in or retraction of the nipple or other parts of the breast.

In June 2016, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the Get Screened, No Excuses Law, which gives public employees four hours of paid leave per year for breast cancer screening and eliminates such obstacles as co-payments and annual deductibles. The measure also requires 210 hospitals and clinics to offer extended hours for screenings to help women who have difficulty scheduling mammograms during a typical 9-to-5 workday.

Screening is among the most important ways to prevent breast cancer, but there are other actions you can take to reduce your risk of developing it. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, a woman who exercises four hours per week reduces her risk. Eating a low-fat, nutritious diet can help. A diet high in fat increases the risk by triggering the hormone estrogen, which fuels tumor growth.

So fill your plate with plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Compared with non-drinkers, women who have one alcoholic drink a day have a very small increase in risk. Those who have two to five drinks daily, however, have about 1½ times the risk of women who don’t drink.

According to the women’s breast-feeding advocacy group La Leche League International, and the New York State Department of Health, studies confirm

She sought and secured federal funding for child care facilities, school supplies and personal protective equipment for essential front-line workers.

Research shows that the longer a woman breast-feeds, the more protected she is against the disease.

The American Cancer Society says that new technology to fight breast cancer is emerging, and that modern medicine’s understanding of the risk factors is also improving. Consulting with your doctor and being vigilant about your health are the most important actions that a woman can take.

The key is awareness. Know your body, and know your risks. Prevention and early detection are the best weapons in the battle against breast cancer.

P

at Foye, chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, has said that service on the Long Island Rail Road and Metro North could be reduced by as much as 50 percent — and bus and subway service by 40 percent — in the coming months if the MTA does not receive $12 billion in federal aid. At the same time, fares could go up by more than the scheduled 4 percent next year.

In other words, there would be substantially less service for more money. And those cuts would not only leave many commuters seethLarrY ing, but could also Penner create further financial and safety risks for the MTA and its passengers.

Significant service cuts or fare hikes require a public hearing process. As a recipient of Federal Transit Administration funding, the MTA must comply with federal Title VI and other civil rights guidelines. Service cuts cannot have an adverse impact on minority, low-income and physically challenged communities.

The process would require a series of public hearings across the metropolitan

area, which would take the MTA several months. It would be subject to review by the FTA and the New York City and state governments.

Service reductions would require the MTA to update its FTA bus, subway and commuter rail fleet management plans.

The FTA would want to ensure that the MTA has the financial resources to maintain its equipment, so that rail cars can remain operational for their intended lifespan of 39 years, and buses, 14 years. But with such extensive reductions, several hundred to several thousand commuter and subway rail cars and buses would no longer be needed, and couldn’t simply be kept around as spare equipment.

The LIRR has a fleet of more than 1,150 cars, and Metro North, more than 1,260.

New York City Transit has 6,400 subway cars, and more than 5,700 buses operate in the city. The fleets are partially federally funded, and equipment that is no longer needed for passenger service as a result of service reductions would require the FTA’s permission to be temporarily mothballed in a safe and secure location, while still being maintained. That would defeat the goal of cost savings.

Another option would be to transfer

r

equipment that is no longer needed to another transit agency. The paperwork alone involved in this process would take several months, and, once the transfer is completed, if ridership increases significantly or parts of the fleet need to be replaced, additional equipment would not be readily available.

The MTA could also purchase the excess federally funded equipment from the FTA, basing its value on depreciation. The MTA would then be free to sell the surplus equipment and keep the proceeds. And it could retire any equipment that has already reached the end of its intended lifespan.

But this, too, could lead to a shortage of equipment down the road.

Most important, as far as commuters are concerned, a major reduction in LIRR service would go directly against promised increases in that service: new trains for the New York Islanders’ arena at Belmont Park, starting next October; a 40 percent increase in rush-hour service when the $2.6 billion Main Line Third Track is completed in December 2022; the addition of 24 trains per hour during peak times in support of the $11.2 billion East Side Access to Grand Central Terminal, also scheduled for December 2022;

eductions could leave commuters seething and increase costs for the agency.

Letters through any issue or hardship during the Covid-19 crisis, whether it was holding PSE&G LI accountable for its delay in repairing service or ensuring that the cost of PPE for dental procedures wouldn’t be a financial burden for patients. Griffin’s record demonstrates that she is someone you can count on to advocate for you, especially in these challenging times.

Defending our rights To the Editor: Re Scott Brinton’s column “We could use a little old-school politics right now” (Oct. 1-7): I was saddened to read that some of the people who responded to Brinton’s previous column, “A maddening tale of two presidencies” (Sept. 17-23), resorted to name-calling.

I am also the child of a World War II Navy veteran. I am retired from the FDNY, which I served proudly for 26 years. I also have been involved with multiple charitable endeavors, along with many of my friends. We have delivered supplies and toys (more than 100,000) to areas coping with the aftermath of hurricanes in the U.S. since Katrina in 2005. I believe in the Constitution, and I love the United States.

I support the police, and just as we were told after 9/11 that we should not judge all

and an increase in reverse-peak service on all branches by the end of that year.

The MTA board of directors has a legal and fiduciary responsibility to protect the interests of both commuters and taxpayers. We need to make sure that Foye details all of the potential costs and challenges of the changes he has in mind with the board as well as elected officials at all levels of government before he proceeds with those cuts.

And Long Islanders need to know how their daily commutes will change if the proposed cuts and fare hikes are implemented. How overcrowded will trains become? What will be the cost in time that commuters spend standing on platforms?

How will social distancing be maintained as the coronavirus pandemic drags on?

These are questions that all of us who use the LIRR and any other branches of the MTA should be asking.

To voice your opinions, write to Foye, at the MTA, 2 Broadway, New York, N.Y. 10004, or LIRR President Phil Eng, at the LIRR, 4312 Sutphin Blvd., Jamaica, N.Y. 11435. Or record a comment for one of the MTA’s monthly board meetings, now being held on Zoom. For a schedule and instructions, go to www.mtaboardmeetings.

Muslims by the actions of a few, we should not now judge all law enforcement officers by the actions of a few.

In Brinton’s most recent column, he wrote of Justice Ruth Ginsberg and her deep and abiding Jewish faith. Will the press now stand idly by if Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett is bashed for practicing her Catholic faith by those on the left? The First Amendment clearly gives people the right to practice their religion, in addition to the right to free expression. Journalists have the choice to defend her constitutional rights or to pile on.

And if you believe that all people have equal First Amendment rights in our country, I challenge you to wear a Make America Great Again hat and walk through the Upper West Side, SoHo, Greenwich Village or nearly anywhere in New York City and see how far you get.

To Brinton, I say keep up the good work because, although I do not agree with most of what he writes, I enjoy and respect his conviction and will defend his First Amendment right to the press.

Time to ban fracking To the Editor: U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice has shown herself to be a true partner in helping to bring

A monarch butterfly, one of nature’s works of art — Oyster Bay

New York state and our country to 100 percent clean and renewable energy.

Indeed, her opposition to the Port Ambrose Liquefied Natural Gas Port and her support for offshore wind is commendable. But our planet is rapidly heating up, making it urgent that we move off fossil fuels such as fracked gas.

I urge Rice to co-sponsor and actively work for the passage of the Fracking Ban Act (H.R. 5857). We need to ban hydraulic fracturing and stop any new fossil fuel infrastructure across our country.
