Early voting draws a crowd

There were long lines in Lawrence on Saturday

By MATTHEW FERREMi mferremi@liherald.com

With early voting getting under way across New York state last Saturday, hundreds of people lined up outside the Lawrence Yacht & Country Club, waiting as long as three hours to cast ballots.

Early voting was introduced in the state last year as part of a series of reforms intended to create more

access to voting for people who struggle to get to the polls on Election Day. A total of 211,898 people voted at sites across the state on Saturday — 1.7 percent of the roughly 13 million registered New York voters, according to the state Board of Elections. The turnout wasn’t far below the total for the entire nine-day early-voting period in 2019, when 256,251 New Yorkers voted.

In Nassau County, 12,839 Democrats and 4,347 Republicans voted on Saturday, according to data from the county’s Board of Elections.

The Lawrence club was designated one of 15 early-voting locations in the county. A line began to form long before the polls opened at 9 a.m.

Hewlett resident Tricia Ortiz said that she got to the country club before 9, but still Continued on page 13

No mulligans on the golf course, except for Kacie jbessen@liherald.com

Kevin Mulligan put a golf club into the hands of his daughter, Kacie, and her year older brother, Brian, as youngsters and whether playing golf for business, competitively or recreation the very visible tools of the sport have rarely left their grips.

On Monday, Kacie, 32, the assistant golf pro at the Lawrence Yacht & Country Club for the past five years, began a golf marathon at 7 a.m. and finished a little past sunset after 6 p.m. to raise money for the American Cancer Society and Folds of Honor that provides educational scholarships to the children and spouses of soldiers who either died or were disabled during their service.

The East Williston native who now lives in Cedarhurst dedicated the day to her father who was diagnosed with stomach cancer in January of 2019 and is doing well after treatment. “He attended the event with my mother (Gail),” Kacie said. “He said to stay focused.”

That should not be a problem for Kacie who typically shoots in the mid to high 70s, took private instruction beginning at 12, played golf at St. Mary’s High School in Manhasset and then at St. Mary’s Etheridg College in Maryland. The family’s last name is also a golf term meaning an extra stroke allowed after a poor shot not counter against the golfer’s score. “A coach called me ‘do over,’” Kacie said in relation to her surname.

I love a challenge,” she said, about her passion for golf. “You could play the same golf course and never play the same hole over. “That is my favorite part. Every day is different, every golf course. Every shot, one shot at a time. Obviously, I love teaching golf and mechanics of the golf swing. The pin is never in the same spot.”

The country club’s course is 6,070 yards from the white tees, which Kacie played to help ensure a brisk pace of play. “Driving is the strongest part of my game,” she said, “I’m long off the tee.” Three caddies marked her shots with small American flags. She said she went to bed around 8 p.m. and woke up at 4:45 a.m. to get ready, including stretching exercises. Got to the club, readied the golf carts, hit some shots off a tee than began.

“I think what Kacie is doing is fantastic and honorable,” said her boos, Peter Procops, the head golf pro at the club. “The rest of my staff, and I along with our membership are fully supportive of this event and its causes.”

She played 156 holes with scores of 77, 81, 81, 77, 81, 80, 74, 84 and 44 on the final nine holes, then played two more. Kacie said “close to $30,000” was raised.

“It’s honestly so surreal,” she said afterwards, admitting she was enduring some pain. “I feel overwhelmed with emotions about the whole thing. “Grateful I am physically capable of doing something like this and proud to be able to do it for two causes that I feel passionate about.”

Kevelson hopes that his film can

KEYNOTE Dr. Jeffrey L. Reynolds

RecRuiting a great sales team is Really simple.

The Lawrence School District will resume in-person instruction on Monday after being physically closed since Oct. 9, when the school district fell within the orange zone of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s cluster hotspot initiative. The district returned all students to remote learning. “[We] will begin in-person [instruction] Monday to allow for testing to take place this week,” said Superintendent Dr. Ann Pedersen, noting that 20 percent of all students, staff and teachers at all the district’s schools need to be tested for coronavirus. The district is using a hybrid learning model with students rotating days in school and home.

After the Covid-19 rate infection numbers were unveiled at Cuomo’s Oct. 21 news conference, Lawrence moved into the yellow zone. As of Tuesday the numbers had the yellow zone with a 2.02 percent positivity rate. “Too high to get out of yellow,” Pedersen said. “Rolling average needs to be below 1.5.”

The Lawrence Primary School at the Number Two School and the Broadway Campus that houses the elementary school and middle school were in the orange zone and the Number Two School abuts the yellow.

After the creation of the Covid-19 clus-

ter hotspot initiative earlier this month, Cuomo established red, orange and yellow cluster zones. To leave the red zone must be under a 3 percent infection rate after 10 days, 4 percent in less populated areas. To exit the orange zone it is under 2 percent after 10 days, 3 percent in less populated areas and yellow under 1.5 after 10 days and 2 percent in less populated regions. Lawrence schools are in two of the three zones Cuomo created except for the high school.

In the red zone religious worship is allowed at 25 capacity, 10 people maximum. Mass gatherings prohibited, only essential businesses are open and schools are closed. Dining is only delivery or takeout.

In orange religious worship is 35 percent capacity, 25 people maximum. Mass gatherings are 10 people maximum inside or outside. Businesses considered highrisk and non-essential such as gyms, personal care, etc. are closed, along with schools. Dining is outside only with a four-person maximum per table.

In yellow religious worship is 50 percent capacity, mass gatherings are 25 people maximum indoors or outdoors and non-essential business are open. Dining is inside or outside, four-person maximum to a table. Schools are open with a mandatory 20 percent weekly testing of students, teachers and staff.

release. “After seeing so many people coming for food supplies at the Long Island Cares food distribution at Number Four School last spring and at Gammy’s Pantry in the Five Towns Community Center, it is really nice for our PTA to be able to help not only our high school students and families, but our entire community as well.”

The Lawrence grant is part of $1.5M that National PTA is providing to PTAs across the country for Covid-19 relief efforts. The National PTA also launched a comprehensive webpage at PTA.org/ COVID-19 with resources, tools and information to support families and educators amid the pandemic.

The association has also focused several episodes of its Notes from the Backpack podcast on topics of concern for families. The association shared information and resources at PTA.org/BackToSchool and on social media to help PTA leaders, parents, students and teachers navigate the new school year.

National PTA continues to advocate for access and support for families and schools for online learning, access to school meals, funding for family engagement, and fiscal and policy relief for state and local education agencies.

NASSAU HERALD — October 29, 2020

The National Parent-Teacher Association awarded the Lawrence High School PTA with a $5,000 grant to help meet critical needs of students, families and teachers in the school community that have been caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The money is supported

by TikTok, a short-form video app, and PTA Proud National Sponsor.

“Covid-19 has presented many challenges for families and school,” Leslie Boggs, president of National PTA stated in a news release. “Now more than ever, PTAs nationwide are working hard to ensure our students, families and educators are safe, healthy and have what they need—focusing on social and emotional wellbeing, resources for distance teaching and learning, bridging the digital divide and addressing food insecurity. The Lawrence High School PTA is committed to supporting and advocating for their students, families and teachers during this challenging time. With the grant, the Lawrence High School PTA will be able to make even more of a difference for their school community.”

The Lawrence High PTA will address the growing need for food security in its school and surrounding community. A portion of the grant was given to Gammy’s Pantry at the Five Towns Community Center in Lawrence to help provide food for those in need. A second portion of the grant was paid to the Lawrence

Webinar educates about breast cancer on L.I. CloCkwise from top right: Skye Ostreicher, moderator; Karla Waldron, executive director of Mondays at Racine Cancer Center; Dr. Melissa Fana, chief of breast surgery at Northwell Health; Geri Barish, executive director of Hewlett House and president of 1 in 9: The Long Island Breast Cancer Action Coalition; and Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, discussed breast cancer causes, treatments and supports on Long Island during a Herald Inside LI webinar on Oct. 20.

By Briana Bonfiglio bbonfiglio@liherald.com

Three women embedded in the world of treatment and support for breast cancer patients and an environmental advocate spoke on the latest Herald Inside LI panel, a weekly webinar series on important topics affecting Long Islanders.

The virtual discussion, hosted by RichnerLive, a division of Richner Communications, publisher of Herald Community Newspapers, focused on risk factors for breast cancer, treatments for the disease and ways to find emotional support after a diagnosis.

Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment; Karla Waldron, executive director of Mondays at Racine; Dr. Melissa Fana, chief of breast surgery at Northwell Health; and Geri Barish, executive director of Hewlett House and president of 1 in 9: The Long Island Breast Cancer Action Coalition, engaged in a conversation on these topics for about 45 minutes on Oct. 20.

Skye Ostreicher, of RichnerLive and Herald Community Newspapers, moderated the panel and delivered questions from viewers. Better Water sponsored the event, so aptly, Long Island’s drinking water was the first discussion topic. Jeannie Riccardo, CEO of Better Water, said she thought it was critical to sponsor this event to educate families about the importance of a having options for a good water-filtration system.

“When people say to me, ‘Do you think there is a correlation between the environment and health?’ I don’t understand how anybody could say ‘no,’” Esposito said.

She explained that Long Islanders receive their water from sole-source aquifers, which are underground stores of water hundreds of feet below the surface. This means that “everything we do on the surface of Long Island — we use pesticides, there’s a leaking gas station, a toxic waste dump site — all of that percolates down and mixes with the groundwater,” she said.

She also explained that pesticides are hormone mimickers, so they mimic female hormones and block male hormones in the body. They are “designed to kill,” she said, so if people put them on their lawn to kill bugs or weeds, they should also think about what they are doing to humans.

Fana noted that other risk factors for breast cancer include BRACA-1, BRACA-2 and other gene mutations, family history, having no children or few children late in life and not breastfeeding. “The amount of years that a woman has unopposed estrogen and progesterone increases the risk of breast cancer,” she said. “We know that on Long Island, there is a higher-than-average risk for breast cancer. We also realize that this risk is affected by certain chemical compounds.”

“We have multiple roots of exposure on Long Island, and it is of concern,” Esposito said. “The good news is that today, as a minimum, if you don’t have a private well, that means your water is being tested at least four times per year or more, and if there’s something in your drinking water that exceeds the state or federal standard, the supplier is required to filter to at least those standards.”

In the 1980s and ’90s, Esposito worked with Barish and

a group of women to create a pesticide registry on Long Island and raise awareness about what pesticides do to the drinking water and how that can cause certain cancers. “I think it was a great pairing for the breast cancer movement to match up with the environmental movement,” she said.

Barish is a five-time cancer survivor — three times with breast cancer — and lost her mother to breast cancer. She also lost her son to Hodgkin’s disease. These experiences led her to find out why. She is now a community leader as president of Hewlett House and 1 in 9, which provide resources for residents in the county dealing with any kind of cancer diagnosis. She also continues to help raise awareness about the disease and its causes.

“When people come in, they’re afraid,” she said.

“They don’t have any idea about the different surgeries that they can have.

“It’s truly about good education, getting the information out,” she added, noting that the organization educates young people about cancer and environmental causes.

Waldron praised the work that Barish and Esposito have done to bring awareness to the environmental factors for cancer. “The more information we have as women,” Waldron said, “the better we all are. Information is power.”

When someone gets a breast cancer diagnosis, they can also seek resources and free programming through Mondays at Racine, which offers one-on-one consultations, meditation, yoga, chair yoga, reiki, nutrition ser-

vices, beauty lessons and other support services at 16 different locations across Long Island.

“Our programs aim at reducing anxiety,” Waldron said. “It’s nice that they don’t have to worry about money.

They don’t have to worry about anything but themselves and get some of those services to help them be reminded of the beautiful person they truly are and not just this cancer diagnosis.”

Mondays at Racine’s programs are both virtual and in person during this time, and they are more popular than ever since Covid-19 hit, she added.

Covid-19 has also impacted breast cancer testing, Fana said. Technology systems have advanced at Northwell so patients do not need to wait long for results. They can also reach their doctors quickly through telemedicine and new online platforms.

“It’s not likely to find a lot of positives through a pandemic,” Fana said, “but this is one of the positives that has come out of this unprecedented time.”

Fana also expressed pride in Northwell’s combined mastectomy and vasectomy surgery, which includes reconstruction, so a patient who needs these procedures does not need to go through them more than once. Northwell also has a high-risk program, which calculates a patient’s lifetime risk for breast cancer.

“I always tell patients, ‘Don’t worry, the city has come to you,’” she said. “You don’t have to go into the city for high-quality care.”

Elected officials talk next steps in Nassau

By Briana Bonfiglio bbonfiglio@liherald.com

Nassau County elected officials from three levels of government spoke about issues facing the county and where to go from here on the latest Herald Inside LI webinar, “Next in Nassau,” on Oct. 21.

Michaelle Solages, assemblywoman in New York’s 22nd assembly district; Dave McDonough, assemblyman in the state’s 14th Assembly District; Tom Suozzi, congressman in the state’s 3rd Congressional District, and County Executive Laura Curran joined the Zoom call to discuss government services during the Covid-19 crisis.

Skye Ostreicher, of RichnerLive and Herald Community Newspapers, moderated the conversation and delivered questions from viewers.

Nassau County is holding steady at 1 to 1.5 percent of those tested being positive for coronavirus, Curran said. About 7,000 to 10,000 people are tested in the county per day. “We want to do everything we can to keep it that way,” she said. “We cannot go backwards. The thought of shutting down schools again, of shutting down business again … we have made too much progress to go back.”

McDonough added that small businesses still need aid to fully recover from the economic downturn that began in the spring. “We’re losing small businesses every day that can’t afford to stay open,” he said. “The small businesses are the lifeblood of this nation and definitely the lifeblood of this state.”

Suozzi noted that the Heroes Act, the federal stimulus bill currently being negotiated in Congress, will deliver aid to help communities recover economically from the pandemic. The bill would provide stimulus checks to individuals, increased unemployment benefits and an extension of the Payment Protection Program for small businesses. Suozzi wants to see the bill passed with $500 billion in state aid

because that would help fund school districts.

“Our economy will never recover unless we have a sense that the public feels it’s safe to go back in the water,” he said.

“We need every state to have a program similar to New York state’s.”

Currently, if small businesses or nonprofit organizations in Nassau County need financial assistance, they can visit BoostNassau.net to see what’s available.

She also noted that the county’s Health Department has become more robust, adding more professionals to give guidance to communities, including businesses and school districts, on coronavirus safety precautions. Going forward, she has also submitted a county budget that does not increase taxes or cut programs, she said, by refinancing debt and making use of a surplus from 2019.

In addition to food insecurity and businesses shutting down permanently, Solages found that child care centers were suffering — 35 percent of them have closed in New York, many of them on Long Island, she said. She is calling for universal prekindergarten for 3- and 4-year-olds in New York, as well as financial assistance to help child care centers recover.

“We have to make sure we’re attracting young families,” she said, “and the only way we can do that is to make sure we have these programs.”

All panelists emphasized the importance of working together, especially across the political aisle.

“This is not a game,” Suozzi said. “This is not about politics; this is not about the election on Nov. 3. There are people that are unemployed that can’t pay their insurance, that can’t pay their bills, can’t pay their everyday utility bills, their rent, their food bills.”

Scaring up a sweet ghoul time

NASSAU HERALD — October 29, 2020

The children came wearing costumes of their characters or even possible future professions as there were astronauts, cats, firefighters, ghosts, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and many others.

Outside the Five Towns Community Center on Saturday vehicles were decorated with Halloween fright and fun in mind from Sarah Hayes’ Hyundai “Help Me” to the cautionary spider zone created by Natasha Shepard, her son Corie Shakur, and friend Isabella Iasevoli. Mariarosa Guzzardi was proud of her festooned Nissan Altima.

With the coronavirus pandemic placing a damper on social activities such as Trick or Treating, many brought candy and the children were able to “trick or treat” their way through the parking lot and collected their favorite treats.

Presented by Inwood resident Sasha Young’s Gammy’s Pantry and the Community Center what was billed as a firstever could become a traditional event.

Trump supporters voice their views continued from front page or platform so it is not obvious that a user has been banned. Instagram and Facebook have denied using shadow banning, and Twitter has written on its website that it does not shadow ban.

There appear to be several sites and social media posts, however, that are devoted to getting around the so-called bans.

Jedwab, a Cedarhurst dentist, said that the rally was necessary to show support for freedoms she believes have been denied during the pandemic, such as praying when people want to, sending children to school instead of limiting them to remote learning, and gathering for weddings and funerals.

“But I think people have more common sense then the government is giving them credit for,” Jedwab said in support of larger gatherings, adding that she understands the health implications of such gatherings right now. “I think there comes a time when we have to choose faith over fear and live our lives. Common sense.”

Smith called the rally a “call to action” and said that when the media attention is focused on Jewish people, they should not shy away. “The world wants to know what are the Jewish people doing,” he said, noting that many yeshivas and synagogues have not

closed.

Smith has written and spoken out against government-mandated social distancing. He was heckled at the rally by one man for his stance against masks, and later said, “No human being should be forced to wear a mask.” A good portion of the crowd was maskless.

The issue of masks nearly kept Hikind from speaking, because, he said, he disagreed with Smith. “It’s not the greatest sacrifice to wear a freakin’ mask,” Hikind said before going on to praise Trump and his accomplishments, highlighting the relocation of the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and leading a number of chants of “Four more years!”

Lewis, who is Black, spoke of the bond between Black and Jewish people. “I look a little different than many of you but we are one,” he said. “When they come against the Jews, they come against me. We have to take the necessary action for our voices to be heard.”

A few of Lewis’s statements drew applause.

Green echoed Jedwab’s and Weinstein’s sentiments that freedoms have been usurped during the pandemic and claimed that “religion is under attack.”

“I am definitely voting for Donald Trump,” said Green, who also railed against “invasive” Covid-19 testing.

Freedom rally co-organizer Michal Weinstein spoke about her support for President Trump, freedom of thought and the police.

Lining up for early voting in the Five Towns

continued from front page wasn’t able to cast her vote. “I was here by 8:40 a.m., and about 400 people were already in line already,” Ortiz wrote in an email. “We had to leave as the doors did not open at 9 and disputes began happening.”

Gregory Wright, of Atlantic Beach, said he, too, arrived before 9. “Shortly after the doors opened, they announced one machine was down, and the line circled a couple times around the parking lot,” Wright wrote on Facebook. “At 9:30, we left since we decided that the line was far too long to wait it out if there were only two working machines. Despite this, I was happy to see so many people out voting.”

Lawrence resident Kathryn Mennella arrived at the club around 10, and waited nearly three hours to vote. “Everything was up and running and it was smooth sailing when I got there,” she said. “People were very Covid aware, masks were worn and social was distancing taking place inside. It was run like a well-oiled machine.”

Residents verified their voter registration on iPads, which served as electronic poll books and will replace physical poll books at voting locations. Poll inspectors assist voters in signing their names and confirming their identities using a stylus.

Once a signature is approved, the poll inspector prints a ballot.

The lines for early voting at the Lawrence Yacht & Country Club last Saturday stretched across the parking lot.

The line at the country club was shorter on Sunday. Elena Feygin said that she waited less than an hour to vote. “I just spent less than 35 minutes voting in Lawrence,” she said. “It was very efficient and speedy. The line was constantly moving.”

Some Five Towners opted to use other early voting sites to cut down on their

wait time. Hewlett resident Pam Darby said she went to the Garden City location, at St. Paul’s Field House on Stewart Avenue. “There was just a 20-minute line at Garden City,” Darby posted on Facebook.

“The parking lot was full but that was because of sports events in the complex, not voting. The line moved quickly and I

was done within a half hour.”

The nine-day early voting schedule offers 83 hours of access — 60 are required by law — including evenings and weekends through Sunday. Registered voters may cast ballots at any county locations, but if they do not, they must vote at their regular polling place on Nov. 3.

y mother and I were bummed out about the fact that the TOPSoccer spring season was canceled.

We started doing our own drive-by parades in March to celebrate our friends’ birthdays. I pitched the idea to my mother of doing the same for our players at TOPSoccer.

In May, we were able to organize a drive-by parade at our players’ homes. We had more than a dozen cars full of volunteers who met in the parking lot of St. Thomas the Apostle Church that afternoon. Once we got together, we all drove by 16 players’ homes in West Hempstead, Malverne and Franklin Square, and we held up signs to show support for our players.

We shared gift bags with all of the players that included soccer balls and water bottles donated by the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association. Many of the coaches even took the time to write messages of encouragement for each player.

We really just wanted to see the kids again. Our goal was to make them happy and try to give back to them what they’ve given us. Just seeing their smiles made it worthwhile. Next year will be my last season with TOPSoccer since I’m attending Catholic University in the fall of 2021. I’ve had so much fun with this program. With everything that’s happening right now, I’m going to try to enjoy this as much as I can.

nthony and I agree that the last seven months have presented a multitude of challenges. Most importantly the impact on our families has been paramount. We both have parents and family members that we are looking after as well as our immediate families. The unusual benefit of the pandemic has been having our adult children return home. In what other time in history would we have had the opportunity to have adult children live with us for a six-month period?

As longtime members of the Kiwanis Club of the Five Towns, we both have a broader view of the impact of Covid-19 on the local community. We are proud to have served the oldest community service organization in the Five Towns for nearly 20 years each. Responding to numerous situations of food uncertainty, we provided groceries to several organizations that support the elderly and less fortunate. While we have supported causes for many, many years, we never fully understood the fragility of the economy and how a quick downturn in employment would force so many families into food insecurity.

Anthony and I have been honored to show our support for first responders and frontline workers during the pandemic. The Five Towns Kiwanis Club showed expressions of thanks to police and ambulance technicians, hospital workers and postal employees, recognizing that those individuals put the community first and they should be applauded for their diligence and hard work. Five Towns Kiwanis supported local restaurants and businesses to provide to those organizations helping us in the past with our fundraising activities.

ummertime usually consists of vacation from work, fun-filled family activities, sleeping in or staying up late, night swimming and play dates for my two young sons. Instead, this summer consisted of me working long hours, frequently reminding my sons to remain quiet as I logged on to virtual meetings, hours of literature reviews and research on Covid-19, and creating and revising a District Medical Plan to be implemented in September 2020. My days of summer also consisted of numerous staff and parent virtual meetings that I like to refer to as my “press junkets.”

I also had the challenging task of locating a health-screening app and sourcing, in only a few short weeks, the personal protective equipment for each school building while it was in short supply before the school year began.

Under normal circumstances, the start of the school year is typically organized chaos for me, since I am performing examinations on students trying out for a sport, determining which students require a particular immunization and providing inperson staff training on various topics. This year, I didn’t perform health examinations for sports, since they are postponed, but I had the additional responsibility of creating training videos on educational topics for staff to watch, and I provided a live-stream presentation on health and safety measures in the school setting during the pandemic.

In my personal life, the days of leaving my work behind as I sit on the sideline enjoying my sons’ soccer practices or games are a thing of the past.

ormally, my job consists of handling orders that come in for dresses. I chart orders and put information together. I communicate a lot with factories from all over the world to make sure orders are consistent and there are no mistakes. Since there have been layoffs at my job because of the pandemic, I’ve had to do a little bit more work than usual.

I’ve been working from home since March because of the pandemic. I also was fired from my job for a few months during the pandemic, but then they hired me back. At first, the company was having trouble getting orders, but then business started to pick up again, and they hired me back.

Now that I’m working from home, I have a lot more time. I have more time to spend with my family. Before the pandemic, I would normally take the Long Island Rail Road train to my job’s office building in Manhattan. Commuting to and from work would take two hours. But now that I no longer have to commute to work, I have more time to do errands, housework and to exercise. A lot of my work for my job was already done on the computer or through phone calls and emails. Even though I work from home now, the way in which I work hasn’t changed much. We use Zoom for work meetings now.

Overall, working during the pandemic has been going well. I didn’t find the transition to working solely at home difficult. I still keep in touch with my co-workers.

Not hyperbole. Within minutes of surveying the outdoor portion of the restaurant Gayle saw that water glasses were needed at a few tables. The attention to detail is appreciated.

Choosing the half roasted chicken the surprise was not that the chicken, a huge portion, was excellent with rosemary and honey glaze, but that the accompanying heirloom carrot mouse (pureed) was so good. The side dish of roasted red bliss potatoes was a perfect partner to the meal.

Cedarhurst, Lawrence water flushing under way As part of New York American Water’s fall water quality program flushing of its water distribution system began Oct. 26 in Cedarhurst and Lawrence, to clear mineral deposits and sediment that might have built up inside the pipes. The flushing will continue through Nov. 6.

Recommended actions while the flushing program is underway: Draw water for cooking ahead of time and store a large bottle of water in the refrigerator for drinking.

Check for discolored water before using the washing machine or dishwasher. Wait until the water runs clear at the tap before doing laundry or running the dishwasher.

In some cases, slight water discoloration may linger for a few hours.

American Water said that this discoloration only affects the appearance of the water and does not affect the water quality.

If water pressure or water volume

seems low after flushing has been complete, check faucet screens for trapped particles.

If laundry becomes stained, do not put it in the dryer. Rewash clothes immediately using a heavyduty detergent and add a rust remover. While you may be tempted to use bleach to remove stains, don’t!

Bleach contains chlorine which will actually make stains worse as it will oxidize the iron upon contact and the stain will never come out.

Rust removers can also be used to remove iron stains from sinks, tubs and toilets. Again, do not use bleach. The chlorine will “set” the stain on contact.

Entering the restaurant business at the height of a pandemic could be seen as a suicide mission. A survey by the New York State Restaurant Association of 1,042 eateries statewide found that 64 percent are likely to close by the end of the year without an additional coronavirus bailout.

Swerdloff said that 46 Locust has an ace up its serving sleeve. “We are glatt kosher and have more seating than most of the kosher restaurants in the Five Towns,” he said. The Vaad of Flatbush supervises Seaview Caterers.

Finishing up my entrée I saved room for dessert and was I glad. Though Bob and Russell were stumping for the warm cinnabon, I picked the chocolate molten lava cake and was not disappointed. The combination of warm chocolate, cool whipped cream and cold vanilla ice cream made for a great ending.

How is all this done? Bob, who served in the Marines as a younger man, said it is all about working together from the kitchen lead by chef Bryan Zembreski to the wait staff. “It’s a team effort,” he said.

46 Locust is at 46 Locust Ave. in Cedarhurst. Reservations suggested. Open Sunday through Thursday, 4 to 10 p.m. Call (516) 295-3335 or go to seaviewcaterers. com/46-locust.

Information to identify the case: Debtor: The Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre, New York

EIN: 11-1837437 United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York Date case filed for chapter 11: 10/01/2020

Case Number: 20 - 12345 Official Form 309F1 (For Corporations or Partnerships) Notice of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case 10/20 For the debtor listed above, a case has been filed under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. An order for relief has been entered.

This notice has important information about the case for creditors and debtors, including information about the meeting of creditors and deadlines. Read both pages carefully.

The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts from the debtor or the debtor’s property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtor. Creditors cannot demand repayment from the debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney’s fees.

Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debt. A creditor who wants to have a particular debt excepted from discharge may be required to file a complaint in the bankruptcy clerk’s office within the deadline specified in this notice. (See line 11 below for more information.)

To protect your rights, consult an attorney. All documents filed in the case may be inspected at the bankruptcy clerk’s office at the address listed below or through PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records at https://pacer.uscourts.gov).

The staff of the bankruptcy clerk’s office cannot give legal advice.

Do not file this notice with any proof of claim or other filing in the case.

1. Debtor’s Full name: The Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre, New York 2. All other names used in the last 8 years: Diocese of Rockville Centre 3. Address: 50 North Park Avenue, Rockville, NY 11570 4. Debtor’s attorney: Jones Day, Attn: Corinne Ball, 250 Vesey Street, New York, NY 11570, Phone: (212) 326 – 3939, Email: cball@jonesday.com 5. Bankruptcy clerk’s office: US Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, One Bowling Green, New York, NY 10004-1408, Hours open: Monday – Friday, 8:30 AM (ET) – 5:00 PM (ET), Contact phone: (212) 668 - 2870. Documents in this case may be filed at this address. You may inspect all records filed in this case at this office or online at https://pacer.uscourts.gov.

6. Meeting of creditors: November 5, 2020 at 12 PM (ET), Location: The meeting of creditors will be conducted by telephone conference. The Office of the United States Trustee will provide dial-in instructions prior to the meeting. The debtor’s representative must attend the meeting to be questioned under oath. Creditors may attend, but are not required to do so. The meeting may be continued or adjourned to a later date. If so, the date will be on the court docket.

7. Proof of claim deadline. Deadline for filing of proof of claim: Not yet set. If a deadline is set, notice will be sent at a later time.

A proof of claim is a signed statement describing a creditor’s claim. A proof of claim form may be obtained at www.uscourts.gov or any bankruptcy clerk’s office.

Your claim will be allowed in the amount scheduled unless: your claim is designated as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated; you file a proof of claim in a different amount; or you receive another notice.

If your claim is not scheduled or if your claim is designated as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, you must file a proof of claim or you might not be paid on your claim and you might be unable to vote on a plan. You may file a proof of claim even if your claim is scheduled.

You may review the schedules at the bankruptcy clerk’s office or online at https://pacer.uscourts.gov.

Secured creditors retain rights in their collateral regardless of whether they file a proof of claim. Filing a proof of claim submits a creditor to the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court, with consequences a lawyer can explain. For example, a secured creditor who files a proof of claim may surrender important nonmonetary rights, including the right to a jury trial.

8. Exception to discharge deadline: If § 523(c) applies to your claim and you seek to have it excepted from discharge, you must start a judicial proceeding by filing a complaint by the deadline stated below. The bankruptcy clerk’s office must receive a complaint and any required filing fee by the following deadline.

Deadline for filing the complaint: To be determined 9. Creditors with foreign address: If you are a creditor receiving notice mailed to a foreign address, you may file a motion asking the court to extend the deadlines in this notice. Consult an attorney familiar with United States bankruptcy law if you have any questions about your rights in this case.

10. Filing a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case: Chapter 11 allows debtors to reorganize or liquidate according to a plan. A plan is not effective unless the court confirms it. You may receive a copy of the plan and a disclosure statement telling you about the plan, and you may have the opportunity to vote on the plan.

You will receive notice of the date of the confirmation hearing, and you may object to confirmation of the plan and attend the confirmation hearing. Unless a trustee is serving, the debtor will remain in possession of the property and may continue to operate its business.

11. Discharge of debts: Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debts, which may include all or part of your debt. See 11 U.S.C. § 1141(d). A discharge means that creditors may never try to collect the debt from the debtor except as provided in the plan. If you want to have a particular debt owed to you excepted from the discharge and § 523(c) applies to your claim, you must start a judicial proceeding by filing a complaint and paying the filing fee in the bankruptcy clerk’s office by the deadline.

If you have any questions about this notice, please contact the Debtor’s Claims and Noticing Agent, Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC, at (888) 490-0633 (toll free from the U.S. or Canada), (503) 520-4459 (international), by email at RCDRockvilleInfo@epiqglobal.com, or visit https://dm.epiq11.com/drvc.

There are many places to have a meal in the Five Towns but to truly have a dining experience a must go-to is 46 Locust.

Seaview Caterers at Temple Beth El synagogue in Cedarhurst carved out a restaurant with both inside seating, up to 50 percent of capacity of a 500-person catering hall and 38 outdoor seats.

The family owned catering company established by Jack Hochman in the 1960s, now run by daughter Gayle Wilk, along with her husband Bob, and Russell Swerdloff, another son-in-law, have applied their big party skills to the more intimate restaurant setting since Sept. 7.

A menu that features six appetizers (starters); 11 entrees, including two special combo plates; four kids’ selections and a quartet of desserts was created.

Beverages include soda, water, coffee and tea. The service is attentive and helpful.

Starting with the sesame-seared tuna with wasabi ginger glaze served over Asian noodles from the first to the last bite this starter was tasty and tangy. After digging into this appetizer you can understand why Bob Wilk said, “We are hitting grand slams.”

Those huge hits began in Brooklyn for Hochman and his wife, Paula (now deceased), at the Seaview Jewish Center in Brooklyn, then at the Manhattan Jewish Center in Brooklyn for 25 years and has continued for the past 20 years at Temple Beth El. Large parties are not permitted under the current state social distancing man-

A. Probably not.

People generally dread winter, but work goes on all year round, except on occasional severe weather days, depending on the project size. During this unusual time, there have been many changes in the way planning is reviewed by authorities and how we go about our work. Delay is an understatement.

Owners who think that onte eeper the process of plans, approvals and getting either permits or construction started is simple are due for disappointment and self-created aggravation. That has never changed. The process has never been quick, and the pandemic altered almost everything. In March of this year, building departments closed their doors nearly everywhere around us. Internet filings and drop-off boxes took over.

You can help the process move along more quickly with data you hopefully have in your purchase documents. At the beginning of every project, we need background information to get started.

We need to see the property survey, which looks like a map of your parcel of land with a detailed and dimensioned outline of the building, even for houses. The survey is often attached to the deed and title paperwork you may have gotten from your attorney. It also helps to see any kind of former permits with attached approved plans.

Many people make the huge mistake of thinking contractors and workers will respect the need to protect original stamped permits and plans during construction, but they almost always get damaged or go missing. Handing the originals out may be the last time you see them. The plans get separated, torn, spilled on or just blow away. I instruct everyone to treat those documents like “closing papers” and to only distribute copies, keeping the permit and stamped plans safe, to be brought out only for the building inspector. I make copies of every plan and permit document for clients, just to have a backup when owners panic that the inspector won’t sign off the project.

As work began again in June, contractors were ordered off construction sites, and work already begun, plus work just starting, got all jammed together into the same time slots. How you do that and keep customers happy is a magic trick that rarely works.

As well, material prices went up, and many construction components have been hard to get.

The demand for real estate in the suburbs, and people working from home, has also caused upward movement in home values and needed alterations due to life changes. This has caused a strain, because many real estate closings are being delayed by the sudden realization that the illegal shed, deck or pool needs plans, permits and inspections. In other words, expect delays, and patience will help you through. Good luck!

Q. I’m wondering how the pandemic has affected architects and contractors. As we prepare to start our home planning, we’re concerned about whether we’ll have delays. We want to get this going before winter, if possible, to avoid bad weather. Can it be done?

Rice said she understands the potential for wind energy to help meet the nation’s power needs, and she would work to pass stricter gun control laws, create a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, that would secure borders while offering a chance at freedom, and enact 12-year term limits for members of Congress.

Tuman said he was motivated to run to change the perception of the Republican Party and to be an accessible and transparent representative, all of which is admirable. He also presented a data-driven idea on how to distribute Covid-19 recovery funds.

Though Tuman’s passion and willingness to jump into the political rings are commendable, he did not offer full-fledged plans to solve many of the major problems facing the 4th Congressional District, and he has no political experience.

For all that Rice has done in the past and all that she can accomplish in the future, we urge voters to return her to Congress.

Once again, 5th C.D. has only one candidate

U

.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks, a Democrat who represents southwest Queens, Elmont, Inwood and north and south Valley Steam, is, barring an unforeseen write-in campaign, guaranteed election.

For the second straight election, Meeks defeated Democratic challengers in the June primary and faces no opposition in the general election.

Meeks has been in office since 1998, and since being cleared of ethics charges in 2013 involving financial disclosure statements from 2007, 2008 and 2009, he has been a model advocate for his district. And though a majority of the district is in Queens, part of it is in Nassau County, and we would like to see him here more often.

T

The real issue, however, is the lack of choice. Meeks could be doing a good job, and we believe he is, but our political system thrives when there is an opposing viewpoint.

Whether Meeks deserves another term should be up to the electorate.

Because the Republican Party has not offered up a candidate, though, it has once again denied voters a choice and deprived them of the chance to hear divergent ideas.

According to voter registration Gregory Meeks numbers, the 5th Congressional District clearly favors a Democratic candidate, and because Meeks has won re-elec-

tion for the past 20 years, Republicans, we assume, want to invest their precious resources in races in which they stand a better chance of winning.

There is something lost, though, when political parties abdicate their responsibility to endorse a candidate and offer an opposing viewpoint. The more this happens, the weaker our democracy becomes.

We endorse Meeks to continue his work in Congress and urge the Republican Party to offer up a 5th Congressional District candidate in 2022.

His opponent, Victoria Johnson, who has worked for Long Island Republican state legislators, is likable and plain-spoken. But she focuses mostly on one issue — her opposition to the bail reform bill. That is not enough to elect her to the Senate.

Kaminsky has shown himself to be reliable, responsible and thoroughly familiar with the 9th District and its issues. We enthusiastically support his reelection.

Re-elect Miller in the 20th Assembly District

or the past four years, District 20 Assemblywoman Melissa “Missy” Miller, a Republican, has been in the minority party in the State Assembly, but that hasn’t stopped her from working across the political aisle with her colleagues in Albany.

When she was first elected in 2016, Miller’s campaign platform was simple: She wanted to make a difference for her community, and we believe she has done just that in her time in Albany. She had no background in politics, but has become an effective politician by working with Democrats on co-sponsoring bills — and, more specifically, by advocating for the disabled community.

response to the pandemic and face likely future funding cuts, Griffin backed a bill that ensured state aid payments when school schedules fell below the required 180-day threshold. It, too, became law in June, and helped schools to get the funding they needed.

Griffin’s challenger, Republican Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick, brings fresh ideas to the table, especially in the area of economic development. She advocates the creation of Economic Development Zones, which would set zoning and governmental assistance parameters for entire neighborhoods or blocks, as opposed to a piecemeal approach of redeveloping individual parcels.

We wish Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick well, and hope to see her continue her community activism. But we feel that Griffin has been a stalwart advocate for Long Islanders in her first term, and urge voters to return her to Albany.

Solages deserves another term in the 22nd A.D.

uring her four terms in the State Assembly, representing the 22nd District, Democrat Michaelle Solages, of Elmont, has been a tireless advocate for working families. She has not only been a constant presence in her district, but is also aware of big-picture issues, and has pushed for policies that, in the long term, would benefit disadvantaged communities and boost local economies.

Solages’s efforts to establish a universal prekindergarten program on Long Island are particularly laudable. If successful, this would be a game-changer for lower-income, working parents.

Because it would give them greater freedom to work and more money to spend, the program could have a big impact on local businesses. It’s a project we encourage Solages to see through to completion.

Supporting small businesses boosts Nassau

T

he coronavirus pandemic forced the world to hit the pause button. It brought our local and regional economies to a screeching halt, and resulted in a sharp rise in unemployment. Businesses that were hit hard during the shutdown were forced to rethink their operations at a time when resources were scarce. I am proud of the role the Nassau County Industrial DevelopriCHArD ment AgenKesseL cy has played — and continues to play — in our county’s recovery.

The IDA’s mission is to promote the economic welfare and prosperity of Nassau County. We do this by assisting existing businesses so they can stay in the county, and by working to attract new businesses.

In both cases, our objective is to increase the county’s tax base and create job opportunities for our residents. Every transaction the IDA completes is carefully thought out, and is made to ensure that we create chances for our economy to develop.

Contrary to opposing beliefs, the IDA does not reduce businesses’ taxes. Let me explain. When you invest in a property, its value goes up and, therefore, so do its taxes. The IDA restructures tax payments for businesses looking to invest in our economy in what are called payments in lieu of taxes, or PILOTs. A drastic increase in property taxes due to an initial investment could make an investor walk away.

What the IDA does is take away the immediate shock of increased taxes caused by the investment by gradually increasing taxes over the course of the PILOT term. At no point are less taxes collected than what was previously being paid on the property.

Take the recently approved Superblock project in Long Beach as an example. The property — which will soon be home to more than 400 units of much-needed housing, and will create jobs and stimulate local business activity — has sat vacant for more than 40 years. If it were to stay vacant for the next 25 years, it would generate $7.4 million in taxes. The developer received a 25-year PILOT to make a $360 million investment,

T

which will end up generating more than $23 million in taxes over the course of the agreement. This doesn’t include the positive economic impact that will be generated by those who move into the new housing units as they spend money in the community.

Everything the IDA does is in the name of economic development — growing the tax base and generating jobs.

A new set of needs emerged during the pandemic, as businesses were now required to spend money retrofitting operations and purchasing supplies they’d never needed before. The IDA stepped up to aid local businesses and downtowns, and thus the Boost Nassau program was born.

Early in the pandemic, we launched an ad campaign with our sister organization, the Local Economic Assistance Corporation, to promote shopping local and the importance of doing it safely. We also partnered with County Executive Laura Curran and Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin to deliver thousands of personal protective equipment kits to small businesses to ensure that employees and their customers could

he county’s Industrial Development Agency has helped out at a crucial time.

work and shop safely. Providing the PPE kits gave our struggling small businesses the physical resources they needed to remain open, while removing the financial burden of having to pay for those supplies.

Assisting small retailers and local downtowns is new to us, for the simple reason that, up until recently, state law prohibited us from doing so. Curran and State Sen. Todd Kaminsky worked tirelessly to get legislation passed that gave IDAs the temporary authority to issue grants and loans to small businesses. Through the New York Forward Loan Fund program, in partnership with the Nassau County Office of Community Development, more than $520,000 has been lent to small businesses in sectors that include construction, electric, painting, health, beauty supply and gas. These loans have helped businesses retain 18 jobs and led to the creation of six more. And we’re just getting started.

While our day-to-day lives look different these days, one thing has stayed the same: The Nassau IDA has worked, and continues to work, to ensure that businesses and our economy are supported through this pandemic and come out strong once it is over.

Richard Kessel is chairman of the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency.

LeTTers The numbers favor Biden To the Editor: If one were to only read the local newspapers in the Five Towns — including, I daresay, the Herald, which recently published an ad for the Trump “Freedom Rally” masquerading as a news piece (“Five Towns ‘Freedom Rally’ Sunday, Oct. 22”) — one would believe that the Jewish community, writ large, monolithically supports our current president.

For the record, recent surveys show quite the opposite. According to an American Jewish Committee poll, 75 percent of Jewish voters are set to vote for Joe Biden, compared with 22 percent for President Trump. They favor Biden over Trump 78 percent to 19 percent on the handling of the coronavirus pandemic, 71 percent to 26 percent on combating terrorism, and 79 percent to 15 percent on uniting the country.

Indeed, even on issues close to the Jewish community, Biden is

favored: 71 percent to 27 percent on dealing with Iran, 72 percent to 24 percent on handling crime, and even strengthening U.S.-Israel relations, 54 percent to 42 percent! In a Social Science Research Solutions poll asking who would handle anti-Semitism best, the response favored Biden, 75 percent to 25 percent.

And to the scare-mongering voices heard on the local streets, today’s America is not pre-World War II Germany. If any comparison can be made, it would be that there were a handful of individuals in the Jewish community — albeit primarily secular Jews, and perhaps not 25 percent — who supported the National Socialist Party ouster of the Weimar Republic. No doubt, however, they were motivated at least in part by a misguided overemphasis on the unholy grail of pocketbook concerns. A Faustian bargain, as it turned out.

We should all work toward a landslide victory for Joe Biden, so he will have broad support and not be beholden to the scarier radical elements of the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party, who are

punching above their weight because of an overreaction to Trump.

I trust the Jewish community’s vote will reflect its continuing allegiance to Jewish values and ethics, as indicated by those polls. What is good for America is good for the Jews and Israel. Our current president is good for neither.

Remembering the Hillel bus accident To the Editor: Jeffrey Bessen’s article last week, “We knew we were the lucky ones,” about HAFTR’s memorial to

the seven children killed in a bus accident in the summer of 1970, brought back very sad memories.

I started my first summer job at Hillel just a couple of weeks before that tragedy. I was lucky to have been assigned younger campers, so I wasn’t on that trip.

I remember the incredible feeling of sadness after we received the news, and recall the usually well-lit gym being dark as everyone moved around, trying to maintain the appearance of normalcy for the younger campers who could not grasp the horrible thing that had happened.

I am glad that those seven children will not be forgotten.

opinions

s I watch the final days of the election campaign, I keep thinking about the words of writerphilosopher George Santayana, who said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” The aphorism can be applied to four presidents, including Donald J. Trump.

Lyndon Johnson was by any measure a president who had a major impact on American history, with the passage of the Civil Rights Act and other significant laws. But Johnson ignored the swirl of negativity that the pubJeRRY lic felt about the kReMeR Vietnam War. By the time he faced re-election, our country had lost over 250,000 soldiers, and the war ended his political career.

George H.W. Bush was a patriot and a statesman when he was elected president. He paid great attention to foreign policy, and successfully ousted Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi forces from Kuwait. He also removed Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega from power.

W

But while Bush claimed numerous successes abroad, he failed to focus on the American economy, which was in rapid decline. His most fatal declaration was, “Read my lips: No new taxes.” In the middle of his term, the Congress passed a tax increase, which Bush signed into law, and he lost his bid for re-election.

President George W. Bush had many accomplishments during his tenure. He pushed through a $1.3 trillion tax cut and was responsible for the No Child Left Behind Act. He delivered the Partial Birth Abortion Act for the conservative wing of the Republican Party. We remember his “war on terror” after the Sept. 11 attacks.

But history is not always kind, and a few significant mistakes blemished Bush’s record and stuck in the minds of the public. His invasion of Iraq in 2003, based on the claim that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, turned out to be an unforgivable political mistake, and Bush botched the response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 as well.

It is now voters’ turn to decide wheth-

W

er they will give President Trump four more years. He can point to the economy before the coronavirus pandemic began, and his success in getting many conservative judges appointed to the federal courts. These claims are politically appealing to different wings of the Republican Party.

But Trump can’t escape his bungled handling of the Covid-19 virus. Just like George H.W. Bush was forced to eat his promise of “no new taxes,” Trump will likely regret repeatedly saying that the virus will disappear, “like magic.” As of this week, the death toll in the U.S. has passed 225,000, and there has been no comprehensive federal response.

The president continues to insist that his travel ban on visitors from China was somehow a turning point in the battle against the coronavirus, but he can’t escape his own words in interviews with Bob Woodward, when he acknowledged knowing how serious the virus was but publicly downplaying it.

Each day, it seems, more stories emerge about Trump’s attempts to muzzle public health experts. His wild sug-

hile more people are dying each day, Trump says we’re ‘rounding the corner.’

gestions about the use of disinfectants and hydroxychloroquine to “cure” the virus have undermined his public standing. His insistence on holding large rallies with largely maskless crowds has alarmed many of his own supporters, who are going to great lengths to avoid the virus.

While political polls are never a perfect barometer of the public’s feelings, an incumbent politician who ignores voters’ concerns about something as serious as Covid-19 does so at his peril. While more people are dying each day, Trump is telling the nation that “we’re rounding the corner” on the virus.

He claims that the majority of the country likes his tweets and his handling of the government, but the pandemic is the No. 1 concern of the nation, and there is no way to escape its potential impact on his Election Day fortunes. If he loses, Covid-19 will be in the first sentence of his political obituary.

Vote your mind, your heart and your soul

hen I was in third grade, Mrs. Heller told me I needed to grow an “elephant” skin because I cried when someone said something mean to me. So it was ironic to be an opinion writer in the time of Trump.

I’m thinking of the reader who took the time to write to say that I was ugly and probably had no friends. She got all that from my political views.

What can I say?

It’s been an interRAndi esting four years. kReiss This is my last column before the election, and I don’t imagine I’ll change any minds this week, one way or the other, but I keep hoping I might. I spend my 750 words to offer one person’s considered views on this, the most critical election of our lifetime.

An opinion column doesn’t have to present both sides of an issue. For example, if we’re discussing separating babies from their parents at our southern borders, a straight news report might include details about the great

numbers of migrants moving north and the difficulties faced by border agents.

But as an opinion writer, my mind leaps to historical metaphors, to other crimes against children and families perpetrated by other governments wielding clubs rather than compassion in the face of human suffering. I recall that we Americans have a troubled past of separating Native American children from their families, and if the arc of justice bends toward enlightenment, then we must shudder at the images of infants and babies in cages in facilities run by the United States of America.

The news last week that some 545 children have never been reunited with their parents puts a pin in it for me. In his lingo, Donald J. Trump has sullied the American “brand.” From his first day in office, he shamed himself and our country in the eyes of the world. An easy and epic liar, he said what worked in the moment, truth be damned. At times he has seemed out of control, snapping and biting not only at his perceived enemies, but at the country’s own loyal and diligent public servants in the FBI and the CIA and the

H

CDC and all the other agencies that have kept us safe through the years.

There are two tracks to follow: what Trump says and what he does. They are often not the same, which has contributed to the chaos within his administration and frankly, within us.

He promised to clean up politics in Washington, and proceeded to empower compromised and sometimes corrupt deputies and lackeys. He said he loved clean water and air, and proceeded to disembowel the Environmental Protection Agency and deregulate the industries that contribute to pollution.

He said that no one since Lincoln had been better for American Blacks than he has.

But he turned his back on every single initiative to empower them, increase minority voting and acknowledge the injustices of decades of racism in this country. We know the list goes on of the discordance between what he says and what he does.

The catastrophic exception has been Covid-19. Early on, he said it was no big deal, and he followed through. He. Did. Nothing. There was no plan, no organizing of resources, no testing when we

ow ironic it is for a once thinskinned thirdgrader to be an opinion writer.

first needed it, and most important, no honest discussion with the American people about the deadly challenge ahead. What he said about the coronavirus in January and February was that it would go away.

Last week, as Joe Biden and the president stood at their respective lecterns for the last debate of the campaign, this nation was mourning the loss of more than 220,000 Americans who had died of the virus. Never in the history of this country has one president been so directly implicated in the massive death and suffering of our people. He has been inept in the face of pandemic, willfully misleading and woefully ignorant.

If Biden wins, he will get to work and do the job, and I trust he will bring together teams of our best and brightest to restore decency and competency to government. We need relief from this ongoing travesty. We need to reboot the great natural and political and personal resources that abide in this country. We need to lick our wounds and move on, with new leadership.

Vote early. Don’t give up on this country. Don’t give up on democracy. Let the best man win.
