Island Park native, Elvis Duran produce Z100 documentary By ToM CARRozzA tcarrozza@liherald.com

When Island Park native David Katz left his job at Don Buchwald & Associates in 2007, it was a huge gamble for the talent agent. After 15 years at the agency whose namesake helped launch Howard Stern’s career, Katz was embarking on his own journey with the then mostly unknown afternoon D.J. Elvis Duran.

Now the CEO and partner at the Elvis Duran Group, Katz is celebrating the successful venture with Duran in the upcoming documentary “Worst to First,” on Z100’s rise, set to release On Demand Feb. 11. Duran and Katz are excited to unveil the documentary commissioned by Scott Shannon, who helped build the New York radio giant Z100 in the early 1980s, as producers of “Worst to First.” “It’s arguably the best radio

story in history because no other station has ever done that in a market like New York,” Katz told the Herald. Forty years after Shannon’s efforts began, the station is still the world leader in radio listenership and boasts the most popular morning show with Duran. The documentary sees the likes of Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Jon Bon Jovi and Joan Jett, Continued on page 13

O’side School #5 sends donations to Mount Sinai by Tom Carrozza tcarrozza@liherald.com

Oceanside School #5 students Jordyn Lehman and Sophia Biondo began a passion project last year that finally came to fruition with a donation of soft blankets, stuffed animals, cozy socks, art supplies, toys, puzzles and games to the pediatric department of Mount Sinai-South Nassau Communities Hospital. The items came from School #5 families and staff. It all began with a teddy bear, according to fourth grade teacher Elisabetta Bavaro. The passion project arose in her class last year, when the two girls chose United Nations Goal #3 “Global Health and Well-Being,” as their focus. As they brainstormed ideas, Jordyn recalled when she broke her arm at age 3. “The hospital let me pick out a toy and it made me really happy and I want current children that are in the hospital to feel like I did.” In the slide presentation that the students created, Jordyn said that she still has the teddy bear. With that, the students had determined their project’s goal: to help hospitalized children feel better. The project was

The students organized the donation as part of a passion project begun in Ms. Bavaro’s class. delayed because of COVID-19, but this year, under the direction of their fifthgrade teacher, Ms. Jillian Edelman, Jor-

dyn and Sophia were able to announce the project to the school, gather all of the donated items, and arrange delivery.

“If I were in the hospital, I would want to also get gifts and feel special. This is a way to give back to the community,” Sophia said. “I am beyond proud of these two young changemakers and the fact that their kind thoughts not only created an outpouring response of generosity but the wonderful ‘We Before Me’ life lesson they learned,” said Ms. Bavaro. The passion project was part of a social studies curriculum that engages students in looking at possibilities for ordinary citizens, including children, to be problem-solvers. School #5 Principal Michelle Mastrande coordinated with the students and Ms. Edelman so that the project would coincide with the school’s participation in the Great Kindness Challenge. There were several other projects during the kindness initiative including a $1,200 donation for a school in Peru to purchase technology enabling remote students to learn from home, a food drive to benefit Oceanside Community Service’s food pantry, and sending out 500 hand-written cards from students to community heroes including health care workers and bus drivers.

Meet the new Oceanside chamber president kdaniel@liherald.com

Paul Engel, a 40-year resident of Oceanside, was named the new president of its chamber of commerce on Jan. 1. Engel, 68, who was raised in Westchester County, has a background in community services and is a licensed clinical social worker. He joined the chamber five years ago and after two years, was named its vice president. Engel is executive director of the Flushing Jewish Community Council and leads the Queens Long Island Community Services Program, offering counseling services for individuals and couples, as well as group and family counseling at multiple sites in Queens and Nassau County. The community services program is part of another umbrella organization, Flushing Jewish Community Council, which offers a food pantry and English and citizenship classes in Queens. “That’s where we started with the counseling, but then the counseling came out to the Island, first in Malverne and then Freeport and then Oceanside/Rockville Centre,” Engel said. “Now we’ve gotten back to seeing people in person, only in Oceanside right at this point. And that’s our main base for the last 15 years.” The counseling program offers in-person services out of its office, at the First United Methodist Church in Oceanside. Queens Long Island Community Services

has also offered counseling in other communities, including Baldwin, Freeport, Rockville Centre and Malverne. Queens Long Island Community Services also partners with various congregations and organizations, offering counseling and educational services, including programs with Temple Avodah, where Engel is a member and active co-facilitator in the Social Action Committee for the last several years. In addition, the group partners with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, as a support group, and works with another nonprofit, called FamilyKind, which deals with families going through a divorce. Since Engel comes from a non-profit business background, he was hesitant about paul becoming chamber president but saw it as a great opportunity to help the community. “There’s a lot of learning and it’s a different kind of sphere for me, the business community,” said Engel. “There were many people who had more experience than I, in terms of the for-profit world. “Of course there’s also the time factor,” he added. “I’ve taken on other kinds of activities, running support groups dealing with anger management and relational trauma. But I see it as an opportunity for personal growth, and, of course, I look to

the other members, and the board to really help in expanding the chamber activities and vision in terms of not only bringing in membership but also giving to the businesses in Oceanside and giving support to the businesses, especially in a time where the last couple of years have been very difficult, to say the least.” Maria Heller, who has served as chamber president and been involved with the group for 30 years, has full confidence in Engel as he begins his tenure as president. “He has a passion for Oceanside, he’s lived in Oceanside and with the right people behind him, I think we’re going to do much better,” Heller said. Engel is focused on generating more community involveengel ment in the chamber. “I’m doing what I can, but I can’t do it alone,” he said. “The businesses have to want it, the people, the board members, we all have to step up to try and bring some cohesion to the community, in a complementary way in terms of finding ways that everybody can be supportive of each other and welcoming any new enterprises.” Ed Scharfsberg, who served as president during Engel’s vice presidency, wants to further the chamber’s goal of continuing to help businesses in the community. “I think once you promote businesses

in Oceanside, you bring a vibrant community together,” said Scharfsberg. Engel discussed how businesses in the community could connect with the chamber, creating community involvement. “For any of the businesses that are coming and the new businesses, it’s a lot of work in terms of reaching out and for the businesses that join the chamber, we would like them to be active in various activities, helping promote Oceanside and helping to really move forward,” said Engel. “We have ribbon-cutting ceremonies for new businesses, and we do hope that people contact us to become members so that we can promote them. “We want to continue what we’ve done in the past, but we also are looking to offer other avenues for businesses and their families to come together and, of course, we need the input and also the participation of those in the community to really kind of go forward.” One of the events the chamber will be involved in this year is its annual cocktail party, slated for March 10. “That’s the first really big thing and hopefully, we’ll push to bring in as many people to that event,” Engel said. The new chamber president wants the community to know he is excited to help any way he can. “I feel fortunate that I’ve become active in the community in a variety of ways,” Engel said. “I look forward to doing what I can to increase the prosperity and well-being of the entire community.”

News brief

Nassau County wants you to stay safe while shoveling this winter As residents prepare to dig out from the heavy snow brought on by the recent winter storm, Supervisor Don Clavin and members of the Hempstead Town Board are issuing a reminder that shoveling can be hazardous and pose health risks if proper precautions are not taken, and urge residents to follow these safety tips: ■ Stretch out your arms, legs and back before heading outside. ■ Avoid eating right before shoveling. ■ Avoid smoking while shoveling.

Steven BurKe Snowplowing on Jan. 29 after the winter storm that blanketed Nassau County with over 8 inches of snow.

■ Shovel slowly and push the snow more frequently than lifting it. If you do lift, lift small amounts at a time, and lift with your legs not your back. ■ Stay hydrated: Drink

water before, during, and after shoveling. Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages before and immediately after shoveling. ■ Take frequent breaks and catch your breath. ■ Pay attention to the heart attack warning signs (according to the American Heart Association): frequent discomfort in the chest, pain in one or both arms, back, jaw, neck or stomach, and breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness. If you experience any of the symptoms listed above, call 9-1-1 “Sometimes when you are shoveling and clearing snow, you can over-exert yourself without realizing it,” Clavin said. “Please keep these safety tips in mind as you clean up after this major winter storm.”

Of the 10 bouts Oceanside won Jan. 13 against visiting Farmingdale to clinch its first wrestling conference championship since 2004, all but 3 went the distance. The Sailors sealed the crown in style by notching 7 pins, including the final three weight classes courtesy of junior Cole Parker (160), freshman Jared Marine (172) and sophomore Ben Rivezzo (189), capping a perfect run against Conference 1B rivals with a convincing 51-15 victory. The match was rescheduled from the previous week and changed sites because Farmingdale’s gym was unavailable. “The boys knew what was at stake and they wanted that conference title really bad,” Oceanside coach Julio Flores said. “It was great to have the match at home. We had a lot of alumni come out to support us along with all the other fans.” The match began at the 215-pound weight class on a coin flip and the Sailors grinded out two hard-fought decisions to set the tone. Junior Andrew Cagno won the opener, 4-1, and senior Matt Maldonado followed with a 2-1 decision at 285. Freshman Jake Strainese (102) then needed just 90 seconds to record a pin and Oceanside had a quick 12-0 lead it would never relinquish. Following a forfeit at 110, freshman Jesse Bittenbender got the Sailors back into the win column with a 4-2 decision at 118. The Dalers took the next bout, but the Oceanside pin party began immediately after at 132 when sophomore Dan Gilmore needed 2:42 to finish off his opponent. Seniors Johnathan Beitzinger (138) and Hugh Bittenbender (145) both needed barely three minutes to get the job done as well. “Both teams came in undefeated so it made for a lot of excitement,” Flores said. “Our guys were really focused knowing it was 18 years since the team last won a conference title.” In the dual meet playoffs Jan. 20, the Sailors couldn’t overcome four pins by Herricks and fell 34-26. Marine, Rivezzo, Maldonado, Strainese, Beitzinger and Hugh Bittnbender earned Oceanside’s

Oceanside (12-5 in dual meets) and seven other teams — Hewlett, Freeport, South Side, Roslyn, Valley Stream North, Lawrence and Hempstead — will head to Long Beach on Feb. 5 for one of Nassau’s five qualifier tournaments. Flores says he’s hopeful at least 10 Sailors advance to the county’s big stage Feb. 12-13 at Nassau Community College. The top five finishers in each weight class in each qualifier will

move on. The Sailors captured one regular-season tournament, the Harold Earl hosted by Valley Stream Central where they went 5-0. “Overall, we’ve stayed pretty healthy,” Flores said. “The guys have been working hard and wrestling well. Now we just want to have the best finish possible.” In the latest county rankings, posted Jan. 16, Hugh Bittenbender (22-3 record) was listed third at 138, and Marine (21-4) fifth at 172. Strainese boasts the next-best mark at 17-4.

Author Micah Dank said he thought that he might one day be well known in media, but he never expected he would be seven books into a series on astrotheology. After growing up in Rockville Centre, devoting himself to the stage, Dank found meaning in the zodiac and connections he saw in the Bible, and decided to write about them. Dank, 38, who lives in Baldwin, has been rapidly producing new entries as part of his series “Into the Rabbit Hole” over the past two years. Finally, after finishing his seventh entry, “The Unbegun”, which is to be released in March, and appearing on more than 200 podcasts to talk about his interest in astrotheology, which is the worship of the micah stars, individually or together as the night sky, the planets and other heavenly bodies, Dank has had a chance to reflect on how he got to this point. He graduated from South Side High School in 2001 and went on to initially study acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Manhattan. “I was an acting major, but I realized when I got there that the acting classes I was taking were nowhere near as good as the ones I had already taken,” Dank said. “So I switched my major to English, thinking it would help me read scripts better. I wouldn’t be as big of a reader and I wouldn’t have such a breadth of topics that I talk about in my book series if that didn’t happen.” Dank was born in South Nassau Hospital, now called Mount Sinai South Nassau. His family moved to an apartment complex on Maple Avenue in Rockville Centre before his 1stt birthday. Dank trained to be an actor, and his parents worked hard to afford to put him through the academy, at which he studied for three years while also attending South Side High School. The academy, which draws in young actors from across the world, had a very intensive curriculum. Dank enrolled in a summer program at the school, where he learned and performed for five days a week and seven hours a day. Dank attended college at SUNY Albany, but transferred to Hunter College after his parents separated, where he earned an English degree in 2006. Dank credited his 12th grade English Russell Reed at South Side with pushing him onto the path of being a writer and eventual published author. “A lot of people hate reading growing up until you’re old enough to realize you can read what interests you,” Dank said. While attending SUNY Albany, Dank made a decision that would solidify him eventually becoming an author. A job hunt followed, which Dank described as difficult since he was not taken by any-

thing straight away. He was accepted into Long Island University’s masters’ program for English education, but just before he was going to enroll, the market crash of 2008 occurred. Instead of taking out loans during that financially perilous time, he got a job at World Courier, a medical logistics company. In 2012, Dank left his job at World Courier to move to Boston. He fell down his first “rabbit hole “while there, as he occupied his time navigating videos on astrotheology on YouTube. “I came across one video with a guy who was applying the zodiac to events from the Bible that made a lot of sense to me,” Dank recalled. “It was my ‘aha moment. I grew up in a very religious household and never took to it, but I got into this and’ it answered all my questions.” That’s when Dank decided Dank he would write a book about his new interest. As a fan of George Orwell during his college years, Dank was inspired to write in fiction. “I realized that if you want to reach a lot of people, you don’t write a non-fiction book because that pigeonholes your audience,” Dank explained. “You write fiction books and you tell the truth in it.” Dank wrote his first book, titled “Decoding the Phoenix,” in 2017. He selfpublished after failing to find a literary agent and the book “didn’t really do well at all,” he said. Though he was disappointed, one of his friends contacted him and encouraged h him to continue the series. After he wrote a second book a year later, it landed him an agent, which got him a shot at pitching to publishing houses. Dank could not find a publishing house that would pick up the series midway through, so the author got the idea to rebrand the story, change his pen name and scrub his old series off of the internet. It worked, and publishing house Speaking Volumes awarded him a threebook-deal. Rejuvenated from the success, Dank wrote the third in the trilogy and in a “blitz of creativity,” he produced another three that also got picked up by Speaking Volumes. The first book, “Beneath the Veil,” took him two years to write before it became available on Amazon in June 2020. His writing has gone into hyper speed, as the soon-to-be released seventh entry was written in 19 days. Dank follows in the school of Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code,” though on a shorter, more episodic adventure. The main character of “Into the Rabbit Hole,” Harvard medical student Graham, bears some influence from the protagonist of Brown’s famous series, though Dank said he likes his characters to be young and sarcasticHe added that he enjoys including cryptograms and anagrams in his series, as well.

News brief Hempstead Town appointed John J. Reinhardt III, Laura Ryder and Joe Baker to represent the Town of Hempstead on the South Nassau Water Authority District Board on Jan. 26. The South Nassau Water Authority is an independent body, which has been created by the State Legislature, will oversee a district that currently receives water service through the private utility New York American Water. New York American Water, the private water provider that was recently sold to Liberty Utilities, has drawn the ire of frustrated ratepayers who have been paying outrageously high rates for many years compared to those served by municipal water providers. Reinhardt III is the Commissioner of the Town of Hempstead’s Department of Water and manages all aspects of the town’s municipal water operations, which serves over 37,109 customers across America’s largest township. Ryder is a trustee on the Lynbrook Village Board, a community leader serving in various organizations, including as a member of the American Water Company Outreach Committee from 2018 until 2020. There she has served as an advocate for fellow residents and providing information to the community in regards to the private water utility.

Baker is a longstanding community leader and business owner and founder and president of the South Merrick Community Civic Association. Baker also serves on the Merrick Chamber of Commerce, the Historical Society of the Merricks and the Police Commissioners Community Council. While announcing the members of the South Nassau Water Authority, Supervisor Clavin and the Council Members renewed their call for the Governor and the South Shore’s State Senate representatives to provide fair and adequate funding for costs associated with the establishment and operations of the new independent body. The members noted that the North Shore Water Authority, which represents over 5,000 American Water Customers, receives $1 million annually in state funds, while the South Shore Water Authority, which represents over 110,000 customers, receives no funding under the bill approved by the state Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in November of 2021. “As we move the process forward, we also think that it’s disheartening that the residents of America’s largest township are being treated so disproportionately by our representatives in Albany,” Clavin said. “It’s time our Albany repre-

sentatives provide equity to the residents of America’s largest township.” “Tens of thousands of residents in my Councilmanic district and in other communities served by New York American Water have been unfairly ripped off for years by paying outrageous rates

for subpar service,” Councilmember Chris Carini said. The three members representing the Town of Hempstead on the South Nassau Water Authority board, which is set to be put into effect on Feb. 1.

The Oceanside schOOl District did not enforce masks amid confusion on where the mandate stood last Tuesday after a Nassau County Supreme Court judge issued a ruling against the current order.

Confusion after judge’s ruling frustrates parents cOnTinued frOm frOnT page wear a mask on Monday,” Greco told the Herald. “But to see the look on his face when he found out it lasted for only one day was really disheartening. They are now playing with the emotions of children and young adults.” There are still many parents who credit mask wearing with keeping their children safe and giving them a chance to see their grandparents in a safer environment. Veronika Roy, the mother of a 12-year-old student in the district, said she is pleased with the mandate because it helps protect her 6-month-old baby at home. There was confusion whether districts could enforce the mandate last Tuesday between when Rademaker published his decision and when the state planned to file its appeal. “The back and forth was especially concerning since kids in his school were ripping masks off some kids that day,” Roy said her son told her. Roy said masks were especially important to her family when she wore one to see her grandparents for New Year’s 2021. She had a slight cough and decided to don the mask out of an abundance of caution, and tested posi-

tive a few days later for the virus, but did not spread it to her parents. “I strongly believe that face masks work and prevent a lot of unnecessary illnesses,” Roy said. Critics of the mask mandate point to the use of cloth masks, which are no longer recommended by the CDC. Between that and the fact that respirators like the N95 masks have yet to be tested for broad use among children, parents feel frustrated by the situation. “I think it’s important for people to realize that it [protection by masks] is a spectrum,” Mount Sinai South Nassau Chief of Infectious Diseases and epidemiologist Dr. Aaron Glatt told the Herald on Friday. “It makes a big difference if one person or both people are wearing it and how far apart they are. In general, the cloth masks are not as good as surgical masks, which are not as good as the N95 or KN95, so you have to use your judgment and be smart about it.” Glatt also said that there has not been as much research done on children-specific masks. He also said that kids often do not wear the masks correctly. “The smartest thing to do is not send their kids to school when they are sick.

Talent agent David Katz talks Z100 and Elvis Duran going ‘Worst to First’

Courtesy David Katz

DaviD Katz, of Island Park, is set to unveil his and Elvis Duran’s documentary, “Worst to First,” on the rise of Z100 with radio legend Scott Shannon, coming to On Demand on Feb. 11. Los Angeles and traveled the country selling syndicated TV shows, including “The Howard Stern Show.” While on the job, Katz met Don Buchwald, Stern’s agent, and was recruited to join his agency in 1992. “It was a remarkable thing to be on the sideline watching that,” Katz said of

Stern and Buchwald’s growth. “They took over the radio world and watching them do that methodically evidently came in handy later on with Elvis and me.” Elvis Duran was doing afternoons on Z100 when he and Katz started their business partnership in 1994. Patty Steele, current co-host with Scott Shannon WCBS’s morning show, was working with Duran at the time and connected the DJ and Katz. Katz started representing Duran, Steele and many others at Z100 and began his own business within the agency to work with the next generation of radio hosts with the blueprint of how Stern and Buchwald competed and succeeded guiding him. It was that experience that Katz said helped he and Duran start the Elvis Duran group in 2007 and dominate the airwaves for the next decade plus. “I’d be lying if I told you that the day I meant Elvis Duran in 1994 that I saw in him who he is now,” Katz said. “When you’re just spinning records in the afternoons, you don’t have a lot of time to show your personality. It’s really once you get to the mornings when you get time to talk, and that’s when I started to believe he could be this superstar.”

platinum recording artist Debbie Gibson, and Shannon and Duran outline the amazing story of Z100’s renaissance. “Elvis has no fear,” Katz said of the start of the Elvis Duran Group in 2007. “It was a gamble for me because I had a steady job with about 50 clients at the agency, and here I was about to leave all that and go off with one client.” Katz, 58, grew up in the Harbor Isles section of Island Park. “It was just the most idyllic little suburb in the world,” Katz said. “No matter where I have gone in life, I have yet to come across people who have talked about their childhood the way my Island Park generation talks about their childhood here.” A graduate of West Hempstead High School in 1981, Katz then went on to attend Syracuse University’s prestigious Newhouse School of Communications. Originally, Katz wanted to call play-byplay like another Syracuse alum, Marv Albert, but migrated to the sales side of television and radio. After graduating Syracuse in 1985, he started his career in Scranton, Pa., at a TV station selling airtime before doing the same for WLIG on Long Island. Through 1990 and 1991, Katz lived in

The Friedberg JCC opened its new Dementia Center, at 15 Neil Ct. in Oceanside, on Tuesday, Feb. 1. The JCC’s in-person dementia programs will now be held in the new center. Utilizing the latest technology, the Dementia Center provides four hours of stage-appropriate activities for people with dementia, as well as a respite for their care partners. Partially funded by the New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA), JCC’s dementia programs allow participants to socialize with peers in a one-on-one or group setting and offset isolation in a safe and supportive envi-

ronment. “We are so excited to welcome our participants to our brand new, state-of-the-art Dementia Center,” said Pam Jaffe, director of the JCC’s Dementia Programs and Services. “We are also so proud that our community can support a program like ours.” The JCC’s new Dementia Center will host its Early Stage Program on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Moderate Stage Program on Wednesdays and Caregivers Support Group on Fridays. “Our participants are truly not alone when they are able to enjoy stimulating programs in a safe environment that will energize and sustain them,” Jaffe said.

Q. We’re thinking about how to make our house

To place an ad call 516-569-4000 press 5

A. Depending on which way the wind blows, literally, you need to assess the types of storms and the typical direction that storms come from in your area. In the Midwest, storms generally come from the Southwest. In the Northeast, there are nor’easters and southwest storms. Nearer to the Atlantic and Pacific onte eeper oceans, storms head from offshore toward land. Florida can get hit from three directions. What you’re mainly interested in is wind resistance, but keep in mind that you may need to plan to be higher off the ground if you’re in a floodplain. The higher above ground you need to be, the greater the wind speeds will be. It’s best to develop a centrally located room with indirect air ventilation, made of either steel-reinforced poured concrete, steel-reinforced concrete panels or steel-reinforced concrete block. Plain steel can also be used, but the cost may be greater to connect everything. Brick isn’t a structural material, and individual bricks can easily be stripped and hurled like very large bullets by high winds. The more aerodynamic the surfaces of the safe room structure are, the more it will deflect missilelike materials. A round safe room is safer. Just don’t get frustrated if someone tells you to go stand in the corner. The indirect ventilation shaft can be a steel or cast iron pipe turned downward. The point is that you want a durable, indestructible pipe located away from water, gas or electric lines that, if ruptured, could kill occupants who thought they were protected. The vent should also not be pointed directly into the wind. It’s advisable to have an engineer or architect who has training in such safety issues work with you on the specifics. Building code boards have avoided setting standards, even though groups such as the American Society of Civil Engineers have been asking for standards to be addressed. It may eventually come to that, but for now there are no specific standards, mainly because different building associations lobby against them, since standards and required safe rooms would add significantly to the expense of renovations and new homes. When you consider that structural metal connectors and hurricane-resistant windows are already in the code, plus the latest increases in shipping and manufacturing costs, home construction is getting further and further out of reach of the average prospective consumer. Just adding more surface material to your floors, walls and ceilings isn’t going to help you in severe storms. Good luck.

safer from high winds. It’s old, and creaks when we get wind gusts. I looked online at safe rooms, and they’re a lot of work and cost. Is there a cheaper way to make a room — at least one room — safe to go to if we have a tornado, and can we make our house less creaky when windstorms blow?

he strangest clock in the world isn’t a clock. Rather, it’s a simple drawing of one, composed solely of black lines and dots against a white background. The hour hand is pointed straight up, in the 12 o’clock position, and the minute hand is only seconds away from meeting it at midnight. If the two hands merge as one, the world ends in a “civilization-ending apocalypse.” As I write this, the clock is at 1 minute, 40 seconds to midnight. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, ScoTT started by Albert Einstein and the bRINToN University of Chicago scientists who helped build the first atomic bomb during World War II, came up with the Doomsday Clock as an urgent warning to humanity that we must reverse course and move away from nuclear proliferation before we blow ourselves to smithereens, taking the rest of life on Earth with us. The clock is reassessed and reset each January. It marked its 75th anniversary on Jan. 20. With only 100 seconds to midnight, we have never been closer to annihilation than we are now — not even during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, according to the distinguished panel of scientists, which

I

includes 11 Nobel Prize laureates, who have recalibrated the clock this year. The Doomsday Clock has become something of a cultural icon, referenced in novels by Stephen King and Piers Anthony, songs by the Who and the Clash, and comics such as “Watchmen” and “Stormwatch.” It should not be taken lightly, however, and it certainly shouldn’t be seen as the fictional imaginings of mad scientists. It is intended to give us a realistic assessment of our chances of survival as a species. What the clock tells us — screams at us, really — is that we must get it together before it’s too late. We must unite behind a common mission of saving ourselves from extinction. That means dispensing with wild conspiracy theories, ancient superstitions and internecine feuds and seeking science-based solutions to some of the most urgent questions and problems that our species faces, including the continuing nuclear arms race, the climate crisis and out-of-control viral invaders, a.k.a. Covid-19 and all of its many variants. Here’s what the scientists wrote in the news release announcing this year’s Doomsday Clock: “U.S. relations with Russia and China remain tense, with all three countries engaged in an array of nuclear modernization and expansion efforts — including China’s apparent large-scale program to increase its deployment of silo-

W

based long-range nuclear missiles; the push by Russia, China and the United States to develop hypersonic missiles; and the continued testing of anti-satellite weapons by many nations. If not restrained, these efforts could mark the start of a dangerous new nuclear arms race.” Yes, while the coronavirus pandemic has been roiling the world, the planet’s three nuclear superpowers have been steadily ratcheting up their arsenals with new, ever more deadly technologies. The military industrial complex lives, even as people around the globe are falling ill and dying of disease by the millions. You would have thought a global pandemic would bring people together behind a common cause — survival. Instead, we are more divided than ever, and rich nations continue to play a dangerous game of geopolitics. Witness what’s happening in Ukraine these days, with Russia amassing tens of thousands of troops and armaments on the Eastern European nation’s borders, appearing ready to invade for no good reason other than, it seems, Russian President Vladimir Putin wanting to assert his power and regain a modicum of the glory his nation lost with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Interestingly, 1991 was the year that we were furthest from annihilation over the past three-quarters of a century, when the

hile a wellknown clock nears midnight, we ratchet up nuclear arsenals.

Doomsday Clock was at 17 minutes from midnight after President George H.W. Bush and his Soviet counterpart, Mikhail Gorbachev, signed the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty to significantly reduce the number of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles in their stockpiles. As I write this, 8,500 American troops are reportedly headed to Eastern Europe, possibly to Bulgaria, where I served in the Peace Corps, Romania, Hungary and Poland, presumably as a signal to these NATO allies that the U.S. has their back. Ukraine is not a NATO member, so the U.S. is not obligated by treaty to defend its borders if it is attacked. I find it mind-boggling that Putin would bring Europe to the brink of yet another war at any time, let alone amid a worldwide pandemic. His posturing is the very definition of craven. In the U.S., we really must work to eradicate the coronavirus so we can move on to the other pressing issues of survival. We have all the tools that we need to beat Covid-19 except the political will. The clock, though, continues to tick. Now, not later, is the time to put aside our differences for the sake of humanity — for the survival of our species. Science tells us so.

Babies or bulldogs: What’s a couple to do?

hate to even appear to disagree with the pope, but not everyone wants to have children these days. Early last month, according to America magazine, a Jesuit publication, Pope Francis made a casual comment about people wanting to have pets rather than children. Boom! He unleashed a dogfight in the public square. The press went wild. The New York Times said, “Pope Scolds Couples Who Choose Pets Over Kids.” CNN blared, “Opting for pets over children is selfish RANDI and ‘takes away KREISS our humanity,’ says Pope Francis.” According to the Jesuit review, the press sensationalized the pope’s remarks that day. It assured readers that he appreciates the grace of loving a pet, but like most religious leaders, he encourages people to be fruitful and multiply. The puppy issue is a kind of red herring, pardon the cross-species metaphor. There’s the decision whether to have kids, and there’s the cultural sideshow of replac-

ing babies with puppies. Apparently, American women are choosing not to have children in increasing numbers, having nothing to do with pets. Raising a child to age 18 can cost upward of $250,000 (pre-inflation). More women want to move along unimpeded in their professions, and rise in the business world without other responsibilities. Many couples are worried about bringing children into a world fraught with conflict. The other factor playing out in our society is the humanizing of our pets. It seems to follow that if you decide not to have kids but want an outlet for your nurturing genes, a dog is a great idea. But it gets crazy, with dog strollers and individualized diets and dogs welcomed at restaurants and shops and on airplanes. Young dog owners devote the same time and attention to their animals that, in another time and place, they might have dedicated to children. Thus the papal comment on pets. With the new dogs-as-kids paradigm, many 20- and 30-somethings travel with their pets, staying at a growing selection of dog-friendly properties. The W Hotel in

A

New York, like other high-end places, isn’t just pet-friendly, but downright petobsessed. Bring Luke the Lab to the W and he’ll get his own bed, food, water bowl, leash, birthday cake and poop bags. I don’t have to enumerate the ways in which kids are way more trouble than dogs, do I? From teething to toilet training to teaching them to walk and talk, to braces and curfews and weed and sex: what a bother. This is not to mention tutors and religious school and the preteen years, followed by the teen years, followed by the pre-adult years, which last until age 45 or so. I speak from long experience. My dog always listens when I talk. She has never caused me a sleepless night. When I give her a haircut, she doesn’t slam the door and say she hates her life. When I give her chicken for the 60th time, it’s all good. My kids are 47 and 50. My dog is 4. As I curl into my chair at night, who’s right there, snuggled into my lap? Not my kids, for sure. My girl Lillybee never considers “moving on.” She has spurned numerous suitors, threatening to bite any hound that comes too close. The Virgin Queen, as we

pparently, more American women are choosing not to have children.

fondly refer to her, has made us her life’s work. Her devotion is undiluted by conflicting loyalties or hobbies or obsessions with travel or exercise. Can’t say the same for the kids. In the puppy-vs.-tiny human debate, in this time and place of pandemic and peril, going with a pet seems reasonable for all the reasons I mention. But the pope takes a longer and broader view, and at the end of the day, which may come at any moment, he’s right. The future of humanity doesn’t depend so much on a new litter as on a new generation. And according to the Jesuit magazine, it’s part of the pope’s job description to urge his flock to have more babies. The magazine suggests, “There is more to the Pope’s comments than what you read in the headline. It was an offhand comment (about pets), but it also reflects something he believes. And whether you like it or not, the church is probably always going to have an opinion about your personal life and your family. It’s kind of how we do things. And it’s O.K. to wrestle with that and engage with that. That’s all part of the fun.” Between the lines are the epic debates of our time. Still, I appreciate the magazine’s nonconfrontational approach to one of life’s most consequential decisions. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Congress should support maternal health

U

.S. Sen Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from New York, last week called on Congress to provide $7 million to fund evidencebased training programs to reduce implicit bias in maternal health, and $25 million to establish a program to deliver integrated health care services to pregnant women and new mothers that will reduce the inordinately large number of maternal deaths among Black non-Hispanic women. It is an urgent issue, including here in Nassau County, one that the Herald first called on government officials to address in 2019. We are pleased to see that Gillibrand has taken up the cause. Three years ago, the Herald undertook a year-long series examining racism in Nassau. We led with an exposé on issues of maternal health faced by Black women throughout the county. In particular, we looked at the group Birth Justice Warriors, founded by Hofstra University Professor Dr. Martine Hackett and the Rev. Dr. Nellie Taylor-Walthrust, a pastor and the director of outreach services for the North Shore Child Family Guidance Center, a nonprofit mental health agency with offices in Roslyn Heights, Manhasset and Westbury. Among the central issues that Birth Justice Warriors is working to address is infant mortality, which is a leading indicator of a community’s well-being, according to the Nassau County Department of Health’s 2016-18 Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan. When children are dying in high numbers at birth — the start of life — there are probably myriad

letters Bail-reform misperceptions To the Editor: Re the editorial “Bail reform law still needs more tweaking” (Jan. 20-26): The Herald perpetuated a false narrative created by opponents of the law. Contrary to statements designed to sway the public, judges are not prohibited from setting cash bail for someone arrested for gun possession. The repetition of this misperception, common among candidates and police officials, contributes, if not causes, the “high degree of electoral support” for reforming the law. As made clear by the new law, Criminal Procedure Law 510.10(4), cash bail can be set for any qualifying felony enumerated in Penal Law Section 70.02. That section includes the felony offense of possession of a loaded firearm, a Class C violent felony. While it is true that cash bail is not mandatory for such a charge, it is also true that it never was.

other health concerns in a community. In the majority of white communities across Nassau, the infant mortality rate ranged from 0 to 3 in 1,000 births in 201416, according to the state Department of Health. Meanwhile, in most communities of color, the infant mortality rate was three to nine times that. In its annual rankings of healthiest counties in New York, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, working with data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ranked Nassau the second-healthiest of the state’s 62 counties this year. When that data is broken down into individual ZIP codes, however, a disturbing pattern is made clear in communities of color, Hackett said: Babies there are significantly more likely to die during or shortly after birth than in predominately white communities. County officials identified nine communities of color and communities with large minority populations — Elmont, Freeport, Glen Cove, Hempstead, Inwood, Long Beach, Roosevelt, Uniondale and Westbury — with measurably greater health concerns than nearby white communities. Nassau is the 13th-wealthiest county in the U.S., with an average annual household income of around $93,000, according to census data. “The affluence of the county as a whole masks the needs of these severely underserved selected communities,” the county’s report states. Taken as a whole, the infant mortality rate in these communities is “nearly double that of the rest of the county,” the report continues. The knee-jerk reaction is to blame the

discrepancy on a discrete factor like income level, according to Hackett: Women with fewer financial resources are unable to afford the same level of care that women of greater means can. But statistics tell a more complicated story. How, for example, does one explain Elmont, a solidly middle-class community of color with an annual average household income of $94,353, above the county average? It has the second-highest infant mortality rate in Nassau. Access to health care alone “is not sufficient” to explain the disparities in health outcomes, Hackett said. Bias and systemic racism also play their parts, she believes. Clearly, issues of implicit bias, and at times outright racism, come into play, even in the medical field. It’s time that the federal government study and address them so all of us can better understand the psycho-social complexities of the doctor-patient relationship that can determine maternal health outcomes. February is Black History Month. Historically, there is a great deal of mistrust in Black communities of the medical field because of past wrongs, not the least of which was the infamous “Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male” from 1932 to 1972, when Black sharecroppers with the venereal disease were left untreated to see what would happen, even after penicillin, a cure for syphilis, was widely available after 1945. The only way to build trust in Black communities is to address their issues head-on, with science-based studies and programs, as Gillibrand has proposed. Congress thus should appropriate the funds that the senator seeks.

ost New Yorkers want the same thing: a safe, affordable place to raise a family, one where our children can play outside without worry. Many of us commute to New York City, and felt safe for a period in “America’s safest big city,” thanks to the hard work of the New York City Police Department and the “broken windows” model of policing. The broken windows theory holds that visible signs of crime and civil disorder encourage further CHristopHer crime and disorder, including seriCarini ous crimes. The theory suggests that policing methods that target minor crimes such as graffiti, public drinking, trespassing and fare evasion bring an atmosphere of order and lawfulness. This model took New York City from the murder capital of the country in 1970s to record low crime rates in the early ’90s, creating a renaissance and a booming metropolitan area. New York was back, and home prices skyrocketed in Nassau County. The county’s crime

rates plummeted, and our close proximity to the city made Nassau the place to raise a family. The media at the time praised our law enforcement, our elected officials had their backs, and if you wanted to be elected district attorney, you had to be tough on crime. But something changed, and the media, and some elected officials, turned. We had grown used to our safe neighborhoods, and many forgot, or were too young to remember, the high crime of yesterday. A new movement was on its way to change our system. The first step was not enforcing low-level crimes. Some elected officials ran successfully on the platform of less enforcement. Next up were changes in Albany in criminal justice reform, often referred to as “bail reform.” This law took away judicial discretion in setting bail for misdemeanors and “non-violent” felonies, including stalking, assault without serious injury, burglary, many drug offenses, and even some kinds of arson and robbery. Stripping judicial discretion was a major shift. Judges could no longer set bail for these charges, nor could they

e face a crime wave that many fear could move east from New York City.

Letters It is also inappropriate to refer to those arrested but not convicted as “of fenders.” Though it may not be popular, there is still a presumption of innocence when bail is first set. While there may be legitimate reasons to revisit the bail statute, it is irresponsible to repeat the lies that are used to gin up public outrage. JAY K.

determine the suspects’ risk to the public or the likelihood that they would repeat the crimes. Albany passed this legislation without input from law enforcement professionals, judges or district attorneys. Lawmakers went even further, passing changes that many consider witness intimidation. What’s more, with changes in discovery laws, prosecutors must now provide to the defense the names and contact information of victims and witnesses. The defense is free to contact them, including victims of sexual assault and witnesses to gang violence. Do you doubt this causes victims and witnesses to no longer want to cooperate out of fear or intimidation? Soon the movement demonized the brave men and women of our law enforcement. Calls to “defund the police” began. It became reality when Mayor Bill de Blasio passed a budget that gutted the NYPD budget by $1 billion and disbanded the department’s plainclothes anti-crime units. The result was virtually instantaneous: Violent crime skyrocketed. Shootings, carjackings and homicides rose fast. Now we are faced with a national crime wave that has also affected New York City, not long ago that safest big city

trying to shy away from choosing/reading books that touch on the pandemic or remind us of something similar. I find my attention span wanes or my brain gets cluttered, for whatever reason. Between Covid and turning 55 next week, I guess I’m starting a “new phase” in life. I find that picking shorter books, or books that move quickly, is helpful. Not so much of a commitment on our part, and we can move on to the next thing. An author named Marie Benedict writes historical fiction, focusing on the women behind famous men. We read “The Mystery of Mrs. Christie,” a novel about the days Agatha Christie went missing in 1926. It was a shorter book with chapters that weren’t too long. I also find short stories are good for when we can’t stand anything too complicated. I would love to know what randi and her group are reading, and I look forward to her next column.

in America, but where many no longer feel safe. It feels like the Gotham of old. Many are concerned that the crime wave could move east, to our backyard. So how can we fix this? We start by electing tough-on-crime district attorneys like we did last election cycle. We must send elected officials to Albany who will demand the repeal of “bail reform,” return judicial discretion and allow victims of crime to feel protected again. We also must send representatives to Washington who will stand up for our law enforcement and change the national narrative. We must all stand up for our police officers. The anti-law enforcement, pro-criminal agenda must end. We must fund and defend our police, not defund them. We must provide the tools, funding and public support to the police to help them do the job of protecting us. It takes someone special to place him or herself in harm’s way for the benefit of others. We must defend those who protect us. The time is now, and together we can turn this around. Christopher Carini is a Town of Hempstead councilman representing the 5th District.
