Finally fixing West Broadway Roadway overhaul to get under way in 2023

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

A Nassau County roadway project that was introduced in 2015 and is expected to cost $30 million is beginning its final stages of design and planning, and is expected to get under way in the spring of 2023, with an anticipated com-

pletion date of Dec. 31, 2024.

Information on what is called the West Broadway Reconstruction and Drainage Improvement Project was presented at a meeting hosted by Republican County Legislators Denise Ford and Howard Kopel at the Lawrence Yacht & Country Club in Lawrence on Dec. 7. The meeting’s

The fifth fatal vehicular accident in just over two years on a stretch of Peninsula Boulevard in Woodmere has Melanie Kail once again calling for traffic mitigation measures, especially on a portion of the roadway where the most recent crash occurred.

Last Saturday at 10:58 p.m., at the intersection of Peninsula Boulevard and Edward Avenue, a 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck was traveling north on Peninsula Boulevard when it collided with a white 2018 Audi Q5 SUV that was turning south onto Peninsula, police said.

All five of the people in the Audi SUV were taken to an area hospital. At 11:45 p.m., Liel Namdar, 15, a sophomore at the Torah Academy for Girls in Far Rockaway, was pronounced dead by a hospital staff doctor, according to police. Miriam Meltser, 38, the driver of the Audi, suffered serious injuries. Her daughter Aliza and two other girls sustained less serious injuries, officials said.

“The tragedy that occurred this weekend has shaken the community,” said Kail, a member of the Woodmere Fire Department and a fire district

commissioner. “When I first posted that petition nearly two years ago, it was as a result of an awful accident involving a pedestrian struck. The accident was at the same corner as this weekend’s tragedy — a corner where I have seen far too many horrific accidents as an active firefighter in this district.”

On Sept. 1, Woodmere resident Tobias Levkovich, a pedestrian, was killed when a car hit him as he crossed Peninsula Boulevard between Island and Longacre avenues, near Young Israel of Woodmere. On Feb. 21, 2020, a man died in a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Lafayette Drive and Peninsula.

On Nov. 19, 2019, Queens Village resident Keith Bailey, a passenger in a small truck, was killed in a one-vehicle crash on Peninsula.

Another Woodmere resident, Stewart Hecht, was killed on Dec. 31, 2019, when he was struck by a vehicle at the intersection of Edward Avenue and Peninsula. After Hecht’s death, Kail started an online petition calling for a traffic signal at that intersection to reduce the likelihood of accidents and increase pedestrian safety.

By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

Woodmere resident Alan Fein, Woodmere, was unloading luggage after arriving home from a business trip when he heard a loud crash come from the intersection of Elm Street and Broadway, where a vehicle crashed into a utility pole and split it in half at 12:40 a.m. on Dec. 9.

He called 911 to report the crash and walked to the near street corner, noticing the mess ahead of him: “There was so much debris in the street, I assumed it was two cars, although it wasn’t,” Fein said.

A man,43, the passenger, sat outside of the wrecked blue 2018 blue Mercedes sport utility vehicle, which was flaming from the hood. Fein said the man’s speech was incoherent and he appeared to be hurt.

At the opposite side of the car, the driver’s side door was opened, and Fein saw the seatbelt moving, which indicated to him that someone was still in the driver’s seat. “To me, the most thankful part was that the door was open,” he said.

“The guy was, I guess, aware enough to open up his driver’s side door, he was just in too much pain to get out. He couldn’t put his feet on the ground. The only way I got him out was to let him fall to the ground.”

The driver, Willie Bryant, 54, of Beach Street, Far Rockaway, was wrapped in a disconnected seatbelt and surrounded by deployed airbags. Bryant suffered two broken ankles, which Fein described as mangled and facing the wrong way.

Fein untangled Bryant from the seatbelt and removed the deployed airbags from obstructing the rescue. He used Bryant’s winter coat to yank him out of the vehicle and drag him across the driveway, distancing him from the flames in case of another fiery explosion was to occur.

woodMERE RESIdENt ALAN Fein pulled two men from a burning vehicle after it crashed at the Elm Street and Broadway, in Woodmere.

“My mind is very analytical,” Fein said, “all I was doing was calculating time, how far the fire is going to go and how much time do we have to get him away from there.”

He recorded the incident before approaching the car.

“I’m a lawyer so I figured, you never know,” Fein said. “I pulled him out and I realized [afterwards that] my phone was still recording in my pocket — I guess I didn’t have the time or the inclination to shut it off.”

In the iPhone video, you hear Bryant howling in agony while Fein convinces Bryant to let him help. “We got to get out of here come on,” Fein says, along with phrases like “I know it hurts” and “I’ll pull you,” to which Bryant replies: “pull me” and “thank you buddy”.

The pole was “sparking almost like a transformer,” Fein

said, comparing the damage to a magic trick: “you know that trick with the guy in the box, the head is on one side, the feet on the other side and nothing in between — that’s what it looked like.”

First responders arrived and secured the scene to limit further damage of nearby homes and oncoming traffic.

Multiple fire departments extinguished the car fire. Fein estimated the whole incident took about 10 minutes.

Bryant had glassy blood shot eyes and an odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath, police said. He was arrested without incident and charged with thirddegree driving while intoxicated, third-degree assault and driving a motor vehicle without a proper license.

Both men were taken to local hospitals, where Bryant was treated for his broken ankles and the passenger for a broken collarbone and cracked ribs.

Bryant is charged with third-degree driving while intoxicated, third-degree assault and driving a motor vehicle without a proper license. He was arraigned on Dec. 13 and released on his own recognizance. No attorney was listed.

“You can’t watch somebody just sit there in a car and die because you’re afraid to pull them out,” Fein said, adding that “the world today is so negative, so there should be stories where people step up and help out a fellow man.”

He described the incident as “emotionally heavy” and credited his selflessness to his faith: “Being an Orthodox Jew I think it shows well on us,” Fein said, “and that’s what we’re supposed to do.”

Fein hopes that every person can see one and other in a favorable light and be there to help each other out. Children are “all we leave behind,” said of the father of six, who has 15 grandchildren, “so it’s important that they get lessons like this.”

Post 339 honors the local donors, volunteers

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

A seasonal, family-like atmosphere enveloped the intimate gathering of roughly 50 people at the Lawrence-Cedarhurst American Legion Post 339 holiday brunch on Dec. 12, and not just because Frank’s Steaks in Rockville Centre was decorated for the holidays.

Post 339 Commander Syd Mandelbaum, a Cedarhurst resident who has blended his charitable poverty think tank Rock and Wrap It Up! with helping military veterans, served as emcee for the brunch that honored donors and volunteers who support the Veterans Farmer Market that Mandelbaum and the post began in July 2020 and the distribution of 850 Thanksgiving meals this years.

The farmer’s market, which operates Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings, allows veterans to “shop” for meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, fruits and canned gods, along with other household items. The market was created so older veterans would not have to be exposed to larger crowds in supermarkets and other stores during Covid.

It has attracted the attention of Long Island Jewish Hospital in Valley Stream that is part of the Northwell Health system. “LIJ wants to be the first hospital to offer a veterans farmer market,” he said, adding that he will approach Trader Joe’s

INwood RESIdENtS SAShA Young, left, and Bianca Bran were among those honored by American Legion Post 339. On the right is Commander Syd Mandelbaum. in Oceanside about being a part of that.

Trader Joe’s in Hewlett already donates to the existing farmer’s market and Thanksgiving meal effort. “LIJ would do a farmer’s market, then do one step further.

They want to give their food that is not used in the evenings, so that veterans can have a hot meal to take home with them.”

He said if the pilot program works out, he would like to see a nutrition component added. “As vets get older their nutri-

tion sometimes falls and the hospital could not only offer the veterans farmer’s market, but also offer nutrition advice.”

Among the people honored was Lawrence Middle School eight-grader Lucas Martinez, the youngest volunteer honored. “It makes me feel better,” the North Lawrence resident said, about volunteering. “Helping other people is good to do.”

Martinez, a Broncos fans, received an official NFL football signed by former Giant

Janoris Jenkins.

Trader Joe’s in Hewlett managed by James Mohrman has donated 320,000 pounds of food in the past year. Called a captain in Trader Joe’s parlance, he credited his team of 150 employees being part of the donations. “It’s all about the neighborhood and giving back to the community,” said Mohrman, who was accompanied by his son, Nathan, 3.

Vito Vinceslao and his uncle, Mario Davilla, owners of Friendlier Restaurant and Pizza in Woodmere, have donated and cooked 100 turkeys and 50 hams in the past 10 years for the Rock and Wrap It Up! Thanksgiving meals. “It’s all about unity,” Vinceslao said, “ giving back to make it better. It’s the way I live.”

Gammy’s Pantry director Sasha Young and fellow Inwood resident Bianca Bran were also honored. The pantry, inside of the Five Towns Community Center, helps 400 families weekly and many more throughout the year. Costco in North Lawrence donated 270,000 pounds of food along with other items. Wall’s Bake Shop in Hewlett donated 27,000 pounds of goods and the Bagelry in Cedarhurst donated more 300,000 pounds of food. Panera Bread in Lawrence, 50 pounds and Tony D’s Pizza in Hewlett. Other donors include Chipotle and Dickey’s Barbecue Pit operated by Carlene Jefferson. Both businesses are also in Lawrence.

Yusef Britton, 22, of Far Rockaway, one of the two men who allegedly robbed the Fazieah Smoke Shop on Sheridan Boulevard in Inwood on Sept. 22 was arrested, police said.

Two men entered the store on that Wednesday after 11 p.m., and the man not yet apprehended allegedly showed a handgun and demanded money, according to police. The two employees in the store at the time handed over an unspecified amount of money. There were no customers at the time and no one was injured.

Britton is charged with first-degree robbery and second-degree robbery.

Arraigned on Dec. 12, his next court date was Dec. 14. Joseph Megale, of Hempstead, is representing Britton, who remains in custody on $50,000 bond or $25,000 cash that was not posted. The court issued a temporary restraining order.

With police still searching for the alleged accomplice, Robbery Squad detectives are asking anyone with information on the incident to call Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 244-8477. All calls are confidential.

Bringing local sports home every week

Herald sports Speedy Claxton-led Hofstra aims high

By ANDREW COEN sports@liherald.com

Speedy Claxton elevated Hofstra to new heights as a player, and now he’s looking to do the same from the bench.

The new Hofstra men’s basketball head coach and former NBA guard took over the program this past spring 21 years after he led his alma mater to the 2000 NCAA Tournament as champions of the America East. He will now look to his alma mater back into March Madness two years after Hofstra captured the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) title just before the NCAA Tournament was canceled due to the start of the pandemic.

“I still have to stop to pinch myself,” said Claxton, who played 10 years in the NBA and was part of the San Antonio Spurs’ 2003 championship run. “I’m blessed and I look forward to leading this program into the future.”

Claxton’s coaching debut nearly featured a monumental upset when Hofstra fell at 15th-ranked Houston 83-75 in overtime after holding a 13-point lead with 8:30 left. The game showcased the talents of Pride newcomer Zach Cooks, a graduate student transfer guard from NJIT who scored a game-high 26 points. Junior guard Aaron Estrada, a transfer from Oregon, also shined during his first game in a Hofstra uniform with 15 points.

The Houston game was played without fifth-year graduate student guard Jaley Ray, who scored 18 points in Hofstra’s 69-67 loss to then-20th ranked Maryland on Nov. 19.

Guards Caleb Burgess and Omar Silverio also return after playing key roles on last year’s 13-10 team that fell to Elon in the CAA semifinals. Sophomore Darlistone Dubar, an Iowa State transfer, adds to the Pride’s guard depth.

Red-shirt sophomore forward Kvonn Cramer earned CAA All-Rookie team honors as a freshman last year and Claxton is looking for more of a breakthrough in 2022.

Abayomi Iyiola, a 6-10 redshirt senior forward and Arkansas transfer, also provides an inside presence.

Hofstra (6-5) was picked fifth in the CAA preseason poll. The Pride open conference play at William & Mary on Dec. 29 with its CAA home opener on tap for Jan. 3 against UNC-Wilmington (UNCW) on Jan. 3 at 8 p.m.

“I think we will be in the upper echelon of the conference,” Claxton said. “It’s wide open with a number of teams that can win it.”

Pride looks to continue rise

By ANDREW COEN sports@liherald.com

Hofstra women’s basketball made strides in Danielle Santos Atkinson’s second season as head coach by nearly tripling its win total last season despite playing 10 fewer games.

Santos Atkinson is now hoping to build off last year’s 8-12 season where the Pride went 5-7 in the CAA and reached the conference semifinals. Hofstra improved from a three-win 2019-20 season that featured a number of close losses.

“Our goal is to build off of how we finished the season last year,” said Santos Atkinson. “It all came together at the end of the year.”

The Pride returned eight players, including senior JaKayla Bown, a preseason All-CAA selection who averaged 16.3 points per game last season. Brown suffered an injury in last Saturday’s 59-37 loss to Ole Miss and missed the remainder of the game.

Junior guard Sorelle Ine za a d d s a s p a rk t o t h e H o f s t r a offense after missing last season due to injury following a freshman season that landed her on the All-CAA Rookie Team. Ineza hit a buzzer beater on a long twopoint jumper in Hofstra’s 55-53 victory against Loyola Maryland on Nov. 20.

“Having her on the floor has definitely been a breath of fresh air,” said Santos Atkinson of

Ineza. “She is such a positive and optimistic person and just has a calming spirit about her.”

Now Open: The Patient Express Care Center at St. John's Episcopal Hospital

Daniella Rothman plays with a smile and a heart

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

You could say it is because she is 5-foot11 that Woodmere resident Daniella Rothman plays basketball. Or it is because her mother, Hilary, played in school and continues to show her hoops chops every Tuesday night competing against contemporaries or is it the one-on-one games she plays against her father, Eric.

All are part of it, but the missing pieces are her love of the sport and an inner toughness that helped Rothman, 20, endure three herniated discs that disabled her from April through roughly October of 2020.

“She’s a tough kid, a smiley kid with an inner drive, when it’s game on, it’s game n with a smile and a heart,” said Eric, who has pushed but not badgered his daughter through years of games.

“Dad always tells me if I can get a rebound off of him, I can get a rebound off any girl in the league,” said Daniella, the starting junior center on the Yeshiva University Maccabee women’s team, which plays in the Skyline Conference.

“I’ve been playing my whole life since elementary school, training my whole life,” Daniella said, listing places such as Step It Up basketball camp and Hustle and Heart that runs clinics and camps.

She also played Police Activities League basketball and synagogue ball. “We put her where the basketball balls were,” Eric

WoodmERE RESidENt daNiElla Rothman, a junior center for Yeshiva University, rebounded from injury to produce a strong season. said. Valuing the time she plays with dad, she also looks to improve her game. “I’m just motivated from within,” she added.

That inner drive served her well when Daniella had to basically lie on the floor for six months and could barely sit or walk because of the herniated discs. “My wife and I became her pit crew and actually had her visualize playing to stay sharp mentally during that rough patch,” Eric said.

A team captain for the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County girls varsity team,

who twice earned most valuable player honors at the league’s All Star game in 2018 and 2019, she was also a Weiner Tournament First-Teamer twice and earned the Determination and Perseverance Award.

Daniella also earned a gold medal for Team USA at the 2019 European Maccabi Games.

“USA Maccabi was a wonderful experience,” she said, “through sports you make friends from all around the world.”

Friends were made with the Germany, Great Britain, Israel and Spain delegations. Judaism and sports created deep connections, Daniella said.

Beginning slowly for the Maccabees in 2020-21, her first season of Division III basketball, Daniella did not score much, but showed her rebounding prowess with a then career-high 9 boards against Sarah Lawrence in one of the seven games of a Covid-abbreviated season. “It was painful coming back last season, I was really working through it,” she said.

This season she has taken off. Daniella notched her sixth double-double, with 10 points and a game-high 14 rebounds in the Dec. 9 game against Manhattanville. She collected a whopping 22 boards in the Nov. 18 game against Sarah Lawrence.

It is a conscious effort to score and want the team needs, under coach Bob Zatulskis. “It’s a little bit of both, she is very hesitant to shoot,” Zatulskis, noting that it is an adjustment for Daniella to shoot more, but she has, as her teammates confidence in her increased. “I really what that ball and I’m going to get it,” she said about her rebounding, which defines her inner drive to succeed.

Majoring in education and psychology, Daniella is considering elementary school teaching, possibly coaching basketball and/or being a child life specialist, a person who helps comfort hospitalized children. You just know those kids will rebound.

One reason why you may minimize your competency is because you maintain an illusion about how others function. Not privy to their interior struggles, you judge them only by what you see on the surface. From the outside, it may look like they made decisions easily, kept their emotions under wrap, knew what to say, how to behave. They’re blessed. Their lives are seamless, flawless.

Your life pales by comparison.

Yet, your assessment may be way off course.

Why? Because you didn’t witness the berating that took place behind closed doors when he neglected to take care of something or didn’t do it well or on time. You didn’t observe the emotional turmoil that she felt before she apadin reached her decision. You didn’t witness the drinks he took to calm down before he spoke up.

So the next time you’re feeling frightened, confused or overwhelmed, remind yourself that: ■ You have enough strength to surmount a crisis.

Person to Person

L

■ You focus on how you messed up, glossing over what you did right.

■ You don’t give yourself credit for coping, telling yourself that a gold star is deserved only if you deal with difficulties easily.

S

Well, think again. I guarantee that you won’t be able to breeze through a crisis without worry. Nor will you be able to: ■ Arrive at adulthood, having your act all together.

■ You have enough resilience to survive a tragedy.

■ Reach maturity and be home free.

You may not do it with ease or grace. Which is good, for why should you be any different from the rest of us?

“When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.” — Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

■ Conquer your insecurities without having them surface from time to time.

■ Triumph over your Achilles heel without feeling vulnerable on occasion.

■ Vanquish your troublesome emotions so they don’t ever get the best of you.

Nevertheless, it’s likely you’ve coped well this difficult year, meeting the daily challenges of life, taking care of responsibilities, doing what needs to be done. So why go low?

■ You have enough courage to deal with the unforeseen.

■ You can cope; you will cope.

During this difficult year, despite the problems you had, the mistakes you made, the angst you felt, my guess is that you’re doing OK. You bend but you didn’t break. You became agitated, and then you calmed down. You felt confused, and then you figured it out. You were traumatized, and then you bounced back. You weathered each new storm dealing with whatever it is you needed to do.

Yes, you’re more resilient than you give yourself credit for. True, you may not have coped well right away. Nor did you always do it graciously or easily. But you did it.

Kudos to you!

Perhaps you don’t agree with me.

■ You fixate on your weaknesses, ignoring inda your strengths.

Calling for Woodmere traffic changes continued from front page more than 10,500 people had signed it.

“I am asking our representation in the county and state to conduct an emergency review,” Kail said. “The first step is to potentially approve a temporary no-leftturn sign while further investigation and research is conducted on the best approach to mitigating dangerous conditions without inhibiting traffic unfairly.”

After the most recent incident, Arlin Javier Aguilera, 34, of Washington Avenue in West Hempstead, was arrested and charged with second-degree vehicular manslaughter, second-degree vehicular assault and driving while intoxicated. Aguilera was arraigned on Sunday.

His next court date was scheduled for Tuesday, as the Herald went to press. A bail bond of $200,000 or $100,000 cash was posted. As of press time, he did not have an attorney.

Handling the grief

After the accident, Torah Academy for Girls officials issued a statement: “It is with heartbreak and anguish that we must share with you that one of our 10th grade students, Liel Namdar, was tragically nifteres (deceased) in a car accident last night.”

The Far Rockaway school was open Sunday night for the sophomores, and any other students. Zahava Farbman, a social worker with 25 years of experience in crisis intervention, trauma and bereavement, is assisting the school.

On Monday night, more than 100 people joined a Zoom call on which Farbman answered questions. Namdar, a Great Neck resident who, along with the other girls, was returning from a Sternberg summer camp reunion when

Meltser family

KeHillas Bnai HaysHivos, in Valley Stream, set up a donation page to aid the Meltser family. Aliza, left, was hurt in the crash, and her mother, Miriam, was seriously injured. she was killed, had friends across the metropolitan area.

During the Q&A, Farbman stressed that it was early in the bereavement process, and it was natural for people to have feelings ranging from tremendous sadness to loss to guilt. “Having Liel in our lives and losing Liel is never going to go away,” she said. “You will find a way to keep her in your life.”

Farbman responded to a person who said she felt like

she was “buried under a ton of bricks” by saying, “Stay under that ton of bricks, then give yourself permission to leave.”

“It is totally normal at this time not to have an appetite, to have a loss of sleep and not to be able to focus,” Farbman said, “It’s OK not to be OK.” Comparing the pain of grief to having stitches to close a wound, she said, “It hurts less every day,” while acknowledging that it is too early in the grieving process to accept that advice.

Summer camp directors Dov and Allyson Perkal also issued a statement on Namdar’s death, which read, in part, “The Sternberg [Camp] community is always a family and as such, while we usually laugh and sing together, unfortunately, we sometimes must cry together. We are so sorry to have to share such horrible news.”

The camp also offered the services of its psychologist, Dr. Ditza Berger, at (646) 942-4900, for counseling. Chai Lifeline, a global children’s health support network, offered its 24-hour crisis hotline, at (855) 327-4747, or by email at crisis@chailifeline.org.

On a video, Namdar’s father, Efraim, spoke about his daughter, whose funeral service took place on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem on Monday. “My Liel, she was special,” he said. “Always had a smile, her smile was contagious. She’d walk into a room and I literally felt it light up. She had a heart that was so compassionate. She cared for everybody.”

To help the Meltser family, Kehillas Bnai Hayshivos, in Valley Stream, set up a donation page through the Chesed Fund. Go to the chesedfund.com/kbh/motherof3 or call (518) 323-0376.

HAFTR girls’ volleyball is over the net The Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway High School’s girls’ varsity volleyball team, the HAFTR Hawks, has started off the season strong. As of press time, the team has a record of 3-0.

First, the girls took on and defeated the Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls Sonics on Nov. 9. The team played a total of three out of five sets, winning all of them. The second game of the season took place at Flatbush High School on Nov. 16. Once again, spirits were high and the Hawks defeated their opponents within three sets.

Two days later HAFTR had their second match against SKA. This time taking place on the Sonics home court. For the third time, HAFTR won all three sets and took home the win. Over the past month, every single member of the team participated and displayed exceptional skills and teamwork.

In each game, the girls worked together to achieve their wins by calling out to each other to communicate, and to make sure that the ball never hit the ground. After every point was scored, or even lost, the girls cheered their teammates on and gave them a friendly high five. These games mark the beginning of an exciting, competitive season for the girls’ volleyball team —HAFTR junior Lauren Monderer

Q. We have a strange situation: Our architect has fallen off the face of the earth. He just disappeared. We got plans about six months ago, and then he just stopped returning phone calls or communicating in any way. We want to change our plans, and now we also need to change our architect. The first plans, apparently, were approved for a permit, but contractors are telling us there’s so much missing that they can’t possibly build, since the whole house is made of steel and concrete, which they want to change. The contractors have made suggestions, but who is the responsible person to make our changes, before we choose to have it done by the contractor?

A. This scenario sounds like you’re headed to a potential disaster, either financially or structurally. First, either the previous architect has to be reached or the plans need to be redrawn by another licensed architect or engineer. The contractor may be well meaning, but because law enforcers don’t hold the contractor responsible for design onte eeper errors or even errors in judgment, you could end up with a structural or code nightmare, where either safety, or your finances, or both, are compromised.

For example, the biggest disasters in history, when many people were killed, resulted from either suggested changes that weren’t fully checked or poor assumptions that everyone knew what each party was doing, and allowed the project to move forward without taking all, and I mean all, necessary precautions. The Kansas City Skywalk collapse killed 104 people dancing at a wedding in a hotel because someone made a change to cables holding up the bridges, and it wasn’t completely reengineered. The bridge collapse in Minneapolis showed a blatant disregard for safety, when the materials that were to be used to replace the old structure were piled onto the half of the bridge that was closed to traffic. It was assumed that the asymmetric load wasn’t a problem.

The recent collapse of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Fla., was another disaster that could have been prevented. Poor decisions and changes, including not thoroughly or thoughtfully re-checking the structure calculations after the developers added an entire floor and a tremendous extra load to the existing new columns, was just part of the problem. Planters with full-sized trees were added, the pool deck was connected to the base of the building instead of being independent, and the pool deck wasn’t sloped to drains, allowing water to seep into the steel reinforcing for years without proper waterproofing.

Now you have a complicated project with an architect missing in action, and a contractor who will bear no responsibility for the design suggesting design changes. I hope you realize that you need to start over, get the scope of work in front of a new professional and avoid the potential problems you’re headed for. Don’t rely on public authorities or a permit to be the answer to your problems.

Good communication is your only relief.

opINIoNS

have no memory of Beatlemania. The movement, which erupted in the early 1960s and was accompanied in the following years by an outpouring of teenage hysteria not seen since, is history to me, recalled only in books and films.

The Beatles released “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” in 1967, the year I was born. I turned 3 shortly after the group dropped its last album, “Let It Be,” the making of which was artfully documented recently in director and producer Peter Jackson’s “The Beatles: Get Back,” SCoTT an eight-hour, three-part, semiBRINToN voyeuristic look at the Beatles’ final days as they crafted some of rock’s most anthemic tunes, including “Get Back” and “Let It Be.” I have loved the Beatles’ music since I was a child, so I had to watch this Disney+ film, despite the sometimes gnawing tedium of sitting and waiting for John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr to transform ostensibly everyday material into stardust.

The Beatles are enshrined in my earliest memories, their songs played on the radio long after the group’s demise. For reasons that aren’t entirely explainable, their music

I

became part and parcel of our collective psyche, melodies and harmonies that repeat in a continuous loop in our subconscious, readily retrievable at a moment’s notice.

My Hofstra students know the Beatles, which is remarkable, given that a half-century has passed since the group famously broke up, and yet their music and mystique remain embedded in our culture, passed down from one generation to the next in films like “The Beatles: Get Back.”

The problem with the Fab Four, to my mind, is this: John, Paul, George and Ringo are so often thought of not as human beings, but as icons, symbols of a bygone era that is often romanticized by those who came of age during one of the world’s most tumultuous periods.

Gen X — which immediately followed the baby-boom generation that gave birth to the Beatles — grew up hearing stories from those 10 and 20 years older about cutting school to throng Kennedy Airport when the four invaded New York on Feb. 7, 1964, two days before they appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” a moment seared into American music history. For many baby boomers, there can be no greater rock group.

“The Beatles: Get Back” brought the Fab Four down to earth, at least for me. That’s why, in part, I loved this film. Finally, I got

T

the chance to see the quartet not as mediaready perfection, but rather as people — frazzled, even troubled, full of foibles, bad habits and insecurities.

The film’s first part, documenting the Beatles’ first seven of 21 days rehearsing for the “Let It Be” album, is dark and unruly, showing a side of the group that I had never seen before — a more disinterested, unseemly side. The Beatles, whom I had long thought of as the best of friends, were plagued, it appeared, by strife. Indeed, Yoko Ono is assigned far too much blame for the group’s breakup. It was clear, based on this film, that the Beatles were in disarray without her, though it was bizarre, and I’m sure distracting for the band, the way she just hung around during these early, chaotic jam sessions — and throughout the project.

McCartney was, it seemed, the only glue at this point holding the group together, and the only one capable of managing day-today operations and committed to producing exceptional music. Lennon appeared aloof and erratic, likely high. Harrison acted like a petulant teenager, storming off over creative differences with Lennon and McCartney, whom he reportedly thought of as controlling and suffocating because they often dismissed the “quiet Beatle’s” songwriting.

Starr was just there, at times playing the

he Fab Four’s music and mystique remain embedded in our culture.

role of the smiling court jester to lighten the sullen mood.

In the second two parts, the Beatles moved out of the cavernous, shadowy Twickenham Studios into their intimate and bright Apple Studio in downtown London, where they met up with the ingenious electric pianist Billy Preston to complete “Let It Be.” The mood changed overnight.

The Beatles were mates once again, and the four resumed the productive work that had, the story goes, characterized their earlier, cheerier collaborations.

Though “Let It Be” was not the Beatles’ best album, it was nevertheless an extraordinary body of work, producing three of my favorite Fab Four tunes — “Two of Us,” “Let It Be” and “The Long and Winding Road” — despite the collegial challenges that they faced in the beginning.

The Beatles’ fabled unannounced concert atop Apple Corps headquarters, filmed on a typically overcast English day on Jan. 30, 1969, was not so much a concert, I learned, as a somewhat impromptu recording session that London police shut down after a handful of numbers because of noise complaints.

Thank you, Peter Jackson, for showing us the Beatles behind the veil of their otherwise impenetrable popularity.

Are we what we watch on TV? Say it ain’t so.

t’s easy to admit watching “The Roosevelts,” “Band of Brothers” or “The Dust Bowl,” all high-minded documentaries featured on PBS. It has felt so satisfying to drop into conversation that I loved Ken Burns’s treatment of Hemingway in his three-part, six-hour TV bio-documentary. “Oh, Hemingway,” folks might say, eyebrows raised.

Such mentions might get me a nod of approval, or, one might hope, admiration. She watches “The Planets,” they might think, when she could be watching “HouseRANDI wives of New JerKREISS sey.” Perhaps one friend might say to another behind my back, “She actually watched the two-hour docudrama “Fantastic Fungi.” Imagine.

Oh, the hubris of letting it be known that I voluntarily tuned into the 2½-hour story of “The Pilgrims” on PBS. Or the multi-part series on the not-so-thrilling story of American “Reconstruction” following the Civil War. At any time, I might have chosen “Fear of the Walking Dead” or “Pretty Smart,” possibly the worst-reviewed piece of puer-

ile pap on the air. I could have watched “The Sex Lives of College Girls” or “The Tiger King” or “Naked and Afraid,” but no, I trended toward “The Durrells in Corfu” or “The Great British Baking Show.”

Not only that, but while I’m slipping into my hair shirt, let me confess to judging others by their TV tastes.

What to make of a seemingly intelligent human being who chooses to spend hours watching reruns of “The Jerry Springer Show” or “Toddlers & Tiaras”? Clearly not someone to be taken seriously. Certainly an individual lacking in taste and gravitas.

One friend mentioned a Bollywood series, dubbed in English, to which she was addicted. I tuned in, just to educate myself, of course, and I was shocked. Pure banal, unfunny, poorly acted trash. Who was this woman I cherished?

That was the old me, the opinionated, haughty critic of others’ entertainment choices. Then I found “Succession.” In biblical terms, I was found and now I am lost.

“Succession” is heading toward the last episode of its third season, and defying the rule of diminishing returns, it is getting better.

I

It is, according to Wikipedia, “The saga of a fictional American global-media family that is rich, powerful and dysfunctional.” Ah, but it is so much more.

Let me start with this: There isn’t one redeeming character in the series, not a single decent human being.

The family is shredding itself from the inside, with fathers and mothers and children all equally capable of eviscerating one another.

The writing is smart and fast and acidic. So, how can I put this? I can’t stop watching, even though the story and the themes speak to lives that are morally corrupt and evil. But it’s laugh-out-loud funny. It’s hard to reconcile the issues, and I don’t feel great about my addiction to the series, but I’m hooked. Most of Sunday I think about the new episode dropping that night. It never disappoints.

We have the family patriarch, Logan Roy, his spidery ex-wife, his Lady Macbeth of a new wife, and his kids, three deeply troubled, fractured adults who cringe at their father’s poisonous wrath and yet hover within striking distance. They want his money, and even more, his love. Roy, played by Brian Cox, is the master of this desperate circle of sycophants. It is all a

’m hooked on ‘Succession,’ a show without a single redeeming character.

sicko sideshow; still, it’s the most entertaining series I’ve seen in years, probably since Mr. White left his chemistry classroom for a meth lab in “Breaking Bad.” Kieran Culkan plays Roman, the creepiest of the kids, perhaps the most damaged, given to endless streams and riffs of corrosive commentary and insults. But it’s a close call with Kendall, the would-be rebel squirming under the weight of his father’s leaden shoe. Then there’s Shive, an apt name for the unloved daughter, tormenting her husband with the Roy family brand of love.

I grew up with “The Brady Bunch.” I have no excuse at all for loving “Succession.” I surely would not want anyone to judge my integrity or my morality by my devotion to the series. I don’t admire any of the characters, just the devilish fun of miscreants and their misdeeds.

I may not be so judgmental in the future when family or friends say they love “Duck Dynasty.” Or I may. Suddenly, good taste in TV is on a sliding scale.

My pleasure in watching the wrecked relationships in “Succession” confounds me. It is better written than most TV series, but it sure ain’t Shakespeare. It is a mystery to me, the human heart. Its chambers hide such dark places.

N.Y. enacts a mask mandate. That’s a good thing.

l

ast Friday, Gov. Kathy Hochul reaffirmed a state mandate requiring mask use in public spaces such as stores and restaurants for the unvaccinated, or, for those who have received their Covid-19 shots, showing proof of vaccination in order to remove their facial coverings through Jan. 15. The move came after months of inaction following Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s rescinding of an order mandating masks for all in public spaces last May and June.

It was premature of Cuomo to drop the requirement, given that 30 percent of New Yorkers at the time were not vaccinated — and unless shops and restaurants checked people’s vaccination cards, they could not assess whether paying customers were vac-

cinated or not. The state, however, never required businesses to check proof of vaccination, though New York City did in September — a wise move indeed.

The result? For months, we’ve seen a majority of Nassau County residents abandon the use of masks, regardless of vaccination status, even in tightly packed spaces like the Long Island Rail Road, where the mask mandate remained on trains for all, even after Cuomo’s decision.

Now we’re seeing the coronavirus infection rate quickly ticking up again.

We know masks can be annoying. They can cause chafing and “maskne,” red marks where the mask touches the skin.

They can make it a little more difficult to breathe. And they hide our faces, inhibit-

ing person-to-person interaction.

Masks have always been a vital tool in the fight against Covid-19, however. That is why the Herald has continued to advocate for their voluntary use in public indoor spaces, regardless of vaccination status, even after Cuomo rescinded the state’s mask mandate.

Local health departments will be responsible for carrying out Hochul’s order. We trust that the Nassau County Health Department, under the outgoing county executive, Laura Curran, and her incoming successor, Bruce Blakeman, will take the order seriously and carry it out to protect residents’ health — and the health of businesses that might shut down if the pandemic were to rage out of control again.

Give to Kentucky’s tornado victims if you can

l

ast Friday night and early Saturday morning, a series of powerful tornadoes ripped across Kentucky, one leaving a record-setting 227-mile-long swath of destruction. At last count, nearly 70 people were confirmed dead in the state’s “most devastating tornado event” in history, according to Kentucky’s governor, Andy Beshear.

It was one of several wild weather anomalies that also affected people in Tennessee, Missouri and Illinois, where a tornado killed six people at an Amazon warehouse.

According to the Associated Press, the line of destructive weather formed when unusually warm, moist air collided with a storm front pushed eastward by a La Nina weather pattern. The U.S. has seen tornadoes in December before, but never on this scale, and never in this number, according to officials. In mid-November, a series of significantly smaller tornadoes touched

letters Shop locally!

To the Editor: Re the editorial “This holiday for sure, shop locally” (Dec. 2-8): People should shop locally every day of the year. Small independent businesses are at the mercy of suppliers, who control the price they must pay for merchandise.

As independent mom-and-pop stores, they don’t have the bulk-buying purchasing power that Amazon and other large national chain stores have. That’s why they sometimes charge a little more. It’s worth the prices to avoid the crowds and long lines at larger stores in exchange for the convenience and friendly service that your neighborhood community shop

down across Long Island, including on the South Shore — a rare event for us indeed.

Scientists cannot directly link any single weather event like a tornado — or even a short-term pattern of tornadoes — to climate change, the heating of the Earth caused by the release of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels. We can, however, make educated guesses. Of late, we’ve seen record or near-record high temperatures. Should we, on Long Island, see temperatures in the 60s in mid-December, just before the start of winter? Certainly not. Warmer temperatures produce erratic, potentially deadly weather.

Climate change might not produce a greater number of hurricanes — the bane of Long Island’s existence — but scientists tell us that it could very well produce more powerful storms like Hurricane Sandy, which leveled many parts of the South and

North shores in 2012.

That’s why we must do everything we can to reduce or eliminate our dependence on coal, oil and natural gas, and instead turn to renewable resources like solar, wind and geothermal.

At the same time, we mustn’t forget the hardship that Sandy caused us here — and the kindness shown to us by people from across the country, who sent donations to help us through one of our darkest hours.

Now it’s time to pay it forward, and donate to the good people of Kentucky, who will need years to restore their communities.

The State of Kentucky set up the Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund over the weekend to provide direct relief to those whose lives have been upended by this natural disaster. If you can, please give. You can do so through this link: https://bit.ly/3pPGtnT.

M

ost members of the current generation have never heard of Sen. Robert Dole. His recent death, at age 98, inspired a series of stories about his bipartisanship and the challenges he faced as a grievously wounded World War II veteran. Many of the profiles noted how Dole worked feverishly to get important legislation passed, and how he got both Democrats and Republicans to have polite discussions on the issues of the day.

Beyond the sadJerrY ness of his passing, Dole’s role in KreMer the national Republican Party helped make it appeal to voters of all types. Today’s Republican Party in no way resembles the party of Dole, and a dozen other Republicans that I could single out. It is now a party with no agenda and no real leadership. This is not to imply that Democrats don’t need to do their own housecleaning, but the Republican Party in its current form is an empty shell.

Perhaps the worst example of how a party can sink into despair is the House

of Representatives. Over a long period, the House was a leadership incubator.

Many young Republicans developed into stars, and were eventually elected to the Senate or became leaders in their home states. These days, however, instead of promoting the party’s longtime philosophies, many Republican House members seem dedicated to blowing up the government and turning it into some type of fraternity house.

A typical example of how the party should function is former Rep. Peter King. King is and was a partisan who supported the leadership on all of the key issues. But he also kept himself open to alliances with members of the New York congressional delegation, and was never reluctant to work with the Democrats when it came to benefiting or protecting the state. If you took a poll of the Democratic delegation, almost all would express their respect for King as a hard-working and cooperative colleague.

It is amazing that freshman members of Congress such as Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republicans from Colorado and Georgia, respectively, are almost as well known as Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, of California.

any GOP House members seem dedicated to blowing up the government.

Letters offers.

At the same time, employees of local businesses go out of their way to help find what I need. Customer service is their motto.

Our local entrepreneurs have continued the good fight to keep their existing staff and suppliers employed without layoffs and canceled supply orders.

They work long hours, pay taxes and keep people employed. Customers patronize other commercial establishments on the block. Foot traffic is essential for the survival of any neighborhood commercial district.

The owners of local shops and restaurants are the backbone of our neighborhood commercial districts. Show your support by making a purchase.

Not a day goes by without one of them attacking President Biden or a Democratic House member. Lately, they have been attacking fellow Republicans in the ugliest of fashion. There is no doubt that New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gets a great deal of attention from the media, but the “mean girls” prize goes to Boebert and Taylor Greene, who show zero respect for the institution.

If you did a 100-year study of how the House has functioned, you will find no period of time where the members of one party spent most of their time bludgeoning their fellow party members. Recently, following the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the Conservative Caucus demanded that any Republicans who voted for the legislation be stripped of their committee assignments and be expelled from the party conferences.

Over in the Senate, things aren’t much better. Biden’s routine nominations for ambassadorships or major staff positions in key federal agencies are in limbo thanks to senators such as Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, Republicans from Texas and Kentucky. Both men would like to run for president, but they play

Island-based institutions of higher education calling on them to apply for and implement the Teacher Opportunity Corps II program as soon as possible to expand diversity in the teaching ranks.

The goal of Teacher Opportunity Corps II is to increase the number of students from marginalized communities who choose teaching careers. Colleges and universities that offer this program provide students with tuition support, inter nship opportunities, teacher mentors, access to professional conferences and exam cost reimbursement. Unfortunately, only one Long Island institution has implemented this program to date.

Young students from marginalized communities who aspire to be teachers should not have to give up their dream due to a lack of resources. People of color and those who come from lowincome backgrounds are underrepresented in educational careers. Teacher Opportunity Corps II provides resources that will increase the number of teachers who reflect the diverse student bodies that they will be responsible for educating.

Senator Kaplan said, “On Long Island, our diversity is our strength, and it’s important that our kids see the diversity of our communities reflected not only among their classmates, but

no role in getting anything positive being done for the country. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, also of Kentucky, pledged during the terms of President Barack Obama and Biden to stop them from accomplishing anything.

There is no doubt that the Democratic members of Congress have faults and weaknesses of their own, but both the House and the Senate have many working members who spend their time in Washington proposing new ideas and trying to pass laws that are good for the people. Many Democrats in the Senate are unhappy with their colleagues Joe Manchin, of West Virginia, and Kyrsten Sinema, of Arizona, but no effort has been made to lock them in the Congressional doghouse and throw away the key.

In his final days, Bob Dole expressed his sadness over how his party currently functions, and mourned the loss of collegiality and the failure to get things done.

The losses that he recounted are, sadly, losses for each one of us.
