Say Their Names group honors OHS students By tom CArrozzA tcarrozza@liherald.com
The Say Their Names Association ended its first year June 26 by awarding scholarships to eight Black seniors from local high schools, including Oceanside High, who demonstrated a commitment to helping their communities and starting conversations about race. Founded after the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, the Say Their Names Association offers Black high school seniors scholarships to support their higher education. Say Their Names held its inaugural
awards ceremony for the United for Change Memorial Scholarship June 26 at the Schoolhouse Green in Oceanside. Students from Oceanside, Baldwin, Lawrence, Lynbrook, Malverne and Hempstead were represented at the event. Tom Capone, who retired as the principal of School 2 in Oceanside in 2018, was moved to organize the association when he saw a memorial service for George Floyd on television. One speaker looked into the camera and challenged Americans to start conversations in their communities. “It resonated with me,” Capone said. “I had been retired for a couple Continued on page 10

ANItA NAmDAr, CENtEr, has joined the Oceanside Library Board of Trustees, with Dan Faust, Board President, left, and Library Director, Christina Marra.
The Oceanside Library has had a change in its board of trustees, adding Anita Namdar to finish out the term of Thomas Beirne, who stepped aside recently to focus on family and business commitments. Library trustees thanked Beir ne for his devotion, in particular to the library’s Vision 2020 project, which will
overhaul the library and renovate newly purchased nearby locations at 21 Fairview and 26 Davison avenues. Namdar, a longtime Oceanside resident, has served on the Friends of the Oceanside Library board for five years. She graduated from Wheaton College, where she majored in psychology, and has worked for
an independent-living residential housing agency, including as a program manager, residence supervisor and property manager, working with landlords and community members. Anita and her husband, David, have two children who attend Oceanside schools.
Island Park Library recreates Billy Joel/Elton John concert
‘
for my reviews
On Tuesday July 27th, Island Park Library will hold an outdoor summer concert dedicated to the music of Billy Joel and Elton John. Visitors should bring their most comfortable lawn chairs for seating in the parking lot area. The show will take place from 7-9PM. Island Park resident John Arden will be teaming up with Kenny Hendricks of That 70s Band for a two person Billy Joel and Elton John tribute show. “I am a proud long-term resident of Island Park and we all live in a great and caring community of friends and neighbors,” Arden said. “One thing we have all missed during the COVID crisis is the ability to enjoy live music. At John Arden Music, we wanted to do something special for our friends at the Island Park Library and the town of Island Park. We will be recreating Billy and Elton’s Face to Face tour where the two great piano players performed their all greatest hits for their fans. Come on down on July 27th.”

LIAC at Freeport resumes summer schedule By Reine Bethany reinebethany@liherald.com
With bright costumes, Shakespearean proclamations, and homegrown popular singing groups, the Long Island Arts Council at Freeport is putting the COVID-19 shutdowns in the past. The group invited the nonprofit troupe Eastline Theatre to perform Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” on June 20. More than 100 people brought chairs and blankets to sit on while the actors transformed the gazebo in Waterfront Park into a world of old-world Italian romance and tragedy. The group is taking the play on tour throughout Long Island until August 22. Upcoming next is the Arts Council’s seven-week Summer Sunset Concert Series at the Esplanade on the Nautical Mile. Every concert in the series happens at 7-8:30 p.m. on the Esplanade next to the River House Grille at 195 Woodcleft Avenue, rain or shine. Audience members must bring their own chairs. The series commences on Thursday, July 8, with Turnpike Joe & The Traffic Jam, a band that has performed in area concerts since 1977.“The Esplanade is a historic spot,” said Joanne J-Bird Phillips of Turnpike Joe & The Traffic Jam. “It’s right next to the canals, the restaurants, and great little shops. We always have a good turnout.” The Banjo Rascals will return to the Esplanade on July 15, bringing 1890s music and Dixieland heat to its Freeport fan base.
Peter Vitas of Columbus Circle, which will perform on August 26, said, “We’re really looking forward to getting out after being cooped up by COVID. Every time we’ve played [at the Esplanade], we’ve always had a great time.” After summertime, the next major event for 2021 will be the 41st Annual Juried Photography Show at the Freeport Memorial Library on November 4. The juror will be distinguished Brooklyn photographer Jeff Harris, an artist widely known for his commercial and fine art photography. Interested photographers can call (516) 223-2522 or email infoliacf@ gmail.com. Further information about LIACF’s ongoing Charity Art for Sale and other programs may be obtained from the organization’s website, liacfreeport.org.

Kiwanis president reflects on the pandemic By Tom Carrozza tcarrozza@liherald.com
Mike Graham, owner of Flowers By Mike on Merrick Road in Oceanside, has worn the hats of business owner and community leader during the Covid-19 pandemic. Between his business and service as the Oceanside Kiwanis Club president, Graham got to see the community find a way to care for one another during tough times. The Kiwanis Club had to shut down all activities and in-person meetings, pivoting to Zoom meetings. The club has since resumed its Summer Readings program at Schoolhouse Green with the rising vaccination rate. “We look forward to a complete slate of events and the return of the Super Bowl Sunday Pancake Breakfast,” Graham said. “Most importantly, having Kamp Kiwanis open and being able to send deserving kids to camp is our mission.” Graham was impressed and encouraged by the Oceanside community’s response to the pandemic. “It was amazing to see the community come together to support the efforts of our health-care community at Mt. Sinai South Nassau” hospital, Graham said. “Also, good to see was how the community supported local business as things started to open up.”
Projecting the fallout from the pandemic, Graham said, “I think we will see continued outreach by businesses to work in this community and help continue the social and emotional recovery that is ongoing. It’s just as important for our community to support their local businesses.” The return of large-scale, in-person events will provide plenty of opportunities Graham’s business to flourish again, especially when the East Rockaway location gets its long-awaited grand opening. As a non-essential business, Flowers By Mike could not open during the lockdown. The timing of that was difficult given their recent addition of East Rockaway Florist on Atlantic Avenue. The lack of large, in-person events like weddings did not do the business any favors either. “We had just purchased a second florist and were just getting rolling when the shut down happened,” Graham said. “All we could really do is wait out the process and reopen as things allowed.” With vaccination rate rising to 80 percent of adult residents in Nassau County, non-essential businesses, including Flowers By Mike, have begun to recover. “Our businesses have started to bounce back, so our goals are for that growth to continue. We still owe the East Rockaway community a grand opening event for the store we bought last year right before the pandemic,” Graham said.

After developing criteria for the scholarship, the organization raised money for the United for Change scholarship. To date, the group has raised $10,521 from 138 donors. The eight recognized students created clubs to discuss their experiences as Black students and volunteered their time to start conversations in the community. Each student received a $1,000 scholarship.

“As an educator, I always believed that if you see and recognize something, it should be noted and celebrated,” Capone said. “It validated for them that what they have been doing and the path they have been taking is the right path, and I think that’s more important than the $1,000 they received.” The awards ceremony marked the end of the first year for the association, but Capone and the group will kick off year two in August with a reorganization meeting. “To replicate and surpass what we did, hopefully we are going to be able to reach out to people in person,” Capone said. “We’re feeling optimistic in the goals we’re setting for ourselves.” Outreach took place through texts and phone calls this year, but the association is looking forward to connecting with communities in person.

Please read it carefully. Summons and Complaint You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the summons and complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home. Please read the summons and complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself. Sources of Information and Assistance The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the tollfree helpline maintained by the New York State Department of Financial Services at (800) 342-3736 or visit the Department’s website at http://www.dfs.ny.gov.

Regardless of whether you choose to remain in your home, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY and pay property taxes in accordance with state and local law. Foreclosure Rescue Scams Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

admiration for schoolteachers when it comes to the patience they must have in dealing with all the different personalities they must reach and try to shape into responsible members of our communities. Not only do people learn differently, they also communicate differently, and choose what to communicate based on varyonte eeper ing degrees of what’s in it for them. I sometimes wonder if it was a good thing that my parents instilled that “honesty is the best policy” because of the number of people who didn’t want to hear the truth, tell the truth or communicate the truth. Many have stated to me in their daily business dealings that what they don’t know won’t hurt them, but eventually it actually can hurt them. I started writing this column after all the times I witnessed people who were being misled or out-andout “burned” as consumers. Sadly, the truth hurts, and I’ve also often tried to warn people that they probably won’t get away with things they thought they could sneak by officials. Some people are trusting, but many are willing to take their chances, and they move on to work with others willing to happily misguide them. As I have done many times in my career, I drive by projects where I told the owners they wouldn’t get all that they wanted, and as expected, the built project is missing the building parts that never would have passed. One client, for example, insisted they owned the waterway behind their home and could build over it. The section of the home that would have protruded out over the waterway was never built when the rest of the home was constructed. It was no surprise, just a disappointment, because they didn’t want to hear the truth, and whoever did the planning led them down a garden path to a dead end. When this happened, I wonder if they had a lot of aggravation, or simply accepted the truth and moved on. Now you will need to select someone you can trust to warn you of pitfalls, verify by calling code officials, and possibly do things in phases that may cost more than doing it all together. Good luck!

Q. We just bought a house, and this has been a real test of our marriage. We have so many things to do, and both of us are hoping to keep our jobs. Money we had planned to use for the work may have to be put toward food instead. We’re very nervous, and wonder whether a chunk of money is going to have to go for permits we were told we wouldn’t need. Now we find out that even our patio repair, our new central air conditioning unit and insulating the attic need a permit. We’re wondering who to trust. Nobody involved in the house sale or who gave us estimates told us about this. Is this common? Are we just unlucky?

opINIoNS
ntil recently, I had never thought deeply how radical my parents were when I was a child. I’m not sure they realized it at the time. In 1972, when I was 5, they put me on a big yellow school bus whose primary route wound through Gordon Heights, in Suffolk County, a nearly all-Black neighborhood that was developed by Louis Fife in the 1920s. I was one of a handful of white children on the route. Two years later, my younger brother joined me on the bus. Growing up in the tiny country SCoTT hamlet of Yaphank, a nearly BRINToN all-white community, I had no notion of the frighteningly seismic socio-political events that were breaking out across the country at the time, including an anti-desegregation movement that swept the nation, roiling cities from Boston to Los Angeles and too many points in between, including the Village of Malverne. “This place was a virtual war zone in the late 1960s and early ’70s, where you had people standing in picket lines ready to kill each other over issues of integration,” then Malverne Schools Superintendent James Hunderfund told the Herald in 2019. “There was a sense of separatism, and
I
that was prevalent in other places, but it was rampant here.” In Boston alone, 40 anti-desegregation riots and protests broke out between 1974, the year I turned 7, and 1988, when I was a junior and senior in college. Much of the sound and fury was stirred by a group called Restore Our Alienated Rights, or ROAR, led by its chair, Louise Day Hicks, who claimed she was defending white neighborhoods by pushing back against court-ordered desegregation school busing plans. Yet my parents put me on that bus, appearing unworried, as if there were nothing out of the ordinary in this seemingly simple act of parenthood. All these years later, I’m happy and proud they did. It is why, in large part, I grew up to be an antiracist, one who works to eliminate racism in American society through words and actions. I came to this realization when I recently read Ibram X. Kendi’s immeasurably hopeful book, “How to Be an Antiracist” (One World, 2019). In this compact 238-page text, which is one part instruction manual on how to live a life free of racial prejudice and one part personal remembrance and reflection, Kendi, 38, a journalist and university professor, dissects, point by point, the many and varied forms of bigotry while laying out his vision for a socially
I
just society in which all people, regardless of skin color, can achieve equality and happiness. “If we ignore the odds and fight to create an antiracist world, then we give humanity a chance to one day survive, a chance to live in communion, a chance to be forever free,” Kendi writes. It isn’t surprising that my parents put me on that bus. My father, the son of Christian missionaries, grew up in Africa, in the Congo. One of only a handful of white children in his village — the others were his siblings — he spoke Lunda, a Bantu language, before English. He was steeped in African art and culture and mysticism. As an adult, he was a music teacher and visual artist, and African sounds and design concepts played a central role in his work throughout his life. He spoke of Africa only in the fondest terms, regaling family and friends with often humorous stories of life in the jungle. My maternal grandfather was a drycleaner who set up shop in a Black neighborhood in Bellport, also in Suffolk, and I spent many afternoons behind his counter, playing hide-and-seek with my brother between the clothes racks. Grandpa, whose parents emigrated from Italy, greeted customers as though they were old friends, no matter their color. Kendi grew up in Queens, and he

reserves some of his best writing for the chapters describing his childhood. You can see and feel the streets he describes with a certain melodic beat, like a rap. “We certainly weren’t imitating anything on the Ave — to the contrary,” he writes. “The wider culture was avidly imitating and appropriating from us; our music and fashion and language were transforming the so-called mainstream . . . Fresh baggy jeans sagging down. Fresh button-down shirts or designer sweatshirts in the winter under our bubble coats. Fresh T’s or sports jerseys in the summer above our baggy jean shorts. Dangling chains shining like our smiles. Piercings and tattoos and bold colors told the mainstream world just how little we wanted to imitate them.” In this beautiful book, we see a Black child come of age in a nation that is perpetually seeking to define him, cordon him off, suppress him, but we also see this child grow into a man who overcomes the odds, and who confronts not only the racism that is pervasive throughout our society, but within him — yes, he admits, a Black person can be a racist. Only by confronting racism in all its forms can we find peace. “How to Be an Antiracist” does just that.

Searching the heavens for common ground
just booked a reservation to see the next full solar eclipse. Call me an optimist; I expect to be there. Save the date: April 8, 2024. You can see it in all its glorious totality from Mazatlán, Mexico, along a narrow diagonal path that enters the United States near San Antonio and moves across the country to Maine and Canada. I am embarrassed to say I missed the last big eclipse, in 2017, because I couldn’t find anyone who wanted to go to Nashville with me, where the viewing was expected to be RANDI superb. I mean, KREISS how shortsighted was that? I am in awe of astronomical phenomena, and that was possibly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I didn’t go, even though I had a hotel booked. Failure of what? Energy? Determination? I did see a sliver of the eclipse from my home in Woodmere, along with my mail carrier, who was stopped in his tracks, looking skyward through a sun filter. Very meh experience, eclipse-wise.
The world has turned since then. When the pandemic began and we were all shut down and shut inside for long periods of time, I started looking upward and outward for comfort and inspiration. I set up my Celestron telescope and learned how to use it properly. One dark night, I saw the surface of the full moon, with craters and geographical features I hadn’t seen before. Last Dec. 21, I saw the convergence of Jupiter and Saturn and could distinguish the rings of Jupiter in the telescope. As the pandemic wore on and wore me down, I found a real freedom in the night sky, observing the constellations we all know. I watched the International Space Station fly by. I downloaded the NASA website so I could try to spot other space objects floating around overhead. One app visualized my own night sky at any given moment, based on my location as communicated through my phone. This may sound elementary to those well schooled in astronomy, but across the span of my educational experience, astronomy remains a black hole. I have a passion and interest to learn what I can, but I feel
I
frustrated by how difficult the discipline is. I’m a word person, and astronomy is all about math and physics and chemistry. Still, I’m determined to learn what is within my reach. Speaking of black holes, I’ve read the simplest descriptions of the phenomenon over and over, and yet I don’t get it, or the concept of an expanding universe, or gravitational waves, or dying stars. So I let that go. I absorb what I can. I look at the night sky and know for certain that we are an infinitesimally small piece of the universe, and that other worlds and other beings are possible. I know that our daily gripes and strife and political conflicts are nothing in the cosmos. Whatever our thinking, our alliances and our behaviors, we have in common this minuscule life raft called Earth, and we don’t have it for long. Contemplating the galaxies that stretch for millions of light years in all directions makes me think we can do better with this transitory gift of life. End of lecture. I am comforted by gazing upward, and I wish the same for you. As part of my galactic journey, I just
missed the last big eclipse, but I’m planning to be looking up at the next one.
read “The Last Stargazers: The Enduring Story of Astronomy’s Vanishing Explorers,” by astronomer Emily Levesque. It was much more fun than Stephen Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time,” which was pretty much a black hole to me, not that I can visualize “a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing — [not even] light, can escape from it.” (Wikipedia) Levesque has traveled to every far-flung spot on earth to book “observation time” on the most advanced telescopes in the world, which are always perched on remote, dark-sky mountaintops. She shares her adventures at the observatories in Chile, where the lively tarantulas almost took the fun out of the moment. She talks about the freezing cold at the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawaii, and the time a colleague thought he had discovered a new planet that turned out to be energy coming from a nearby microwave where someone was heating soup. She evokes the gorgeousness of the heavens and the privilege of being among those who roam the stars. Read the book. It’s a great escape into a world most of us don’t know. Then think about the Great Eclipse of April 2024. Save the date. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

We’re in the thick of summer — safety first!
s
ummer should be a time of joy, spent hanging out at the beach and barbecuing in the backyard. Too often, however, summer turns tragic when it needn’t. The American Red Cross offers the following guidelines to help you stay safe as the temperature climbs.
During a heat wave
The American Red Cross first aid app offers emergency-response information in simple, easy-to-follow steps. Available for iPhone and Android devices, the free app gives you instant access to the information you need to handle the most common first aid emergencies. It also features videos, interactive quizzes and straightforward advice.
■ Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles.
Learn to swim
■ Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol. ■ Avoid extreme temperature changes. ■ Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, lightcolored clothing. Avoid dark colors, because they absorb the sun’s rays. ■ Slow down, stay indoors and avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day, usually in the afternoon, between 2 and 5 p.m. ■ Postpone outdoor games and activities. ■ Use a buddy system when working in excessive heat. Take frequent breaks if you must work outdoors. ■ Check on family, friends and neighbors who don’t have air conditioning, who spend much of their time alone or who are more likely to be affected by the heat. ■ Check on your pets often to ensure that they aren’t suffering in the heat.

letters Yes, Audubon needs a name change To the Editor: Re Scott Brinton’s column “Audubon Society confronts its racist namesake — sort of ” (July 1-7): I salute Brinton for his thorough analysis and ounce of bravery coming through in the Herald’s opinion pages. I think that his suggestion to change the name of the Audubon Society is proportionate, timely and overdue. I have a feeling that he will face a great deal of opposition, name-calling and resentment from political bodies and individuals, but I am with him all the way. AMNoN TISHLER Bellmore
Getting back into the city To the Editor: I look forward every week to reading Randi
The best way to safely enjoy the water is to learn how to swim. Enroll your family in age-appropriate Red Cross water-orientation and learn-to-swim courses. Basic water safety rules are part of these classes. You’ll learn how to tell if a swimmer is in distress or drowning, and how and when to call for emergency help. You’ll also learn how to help someone in trouble in the water while keeping yourself safe. To find classes for you and your family, contact your local aquatic facility.
Water safety tips
A Red Cross water safety poll released in 2013 showed that nearly half of Americans said they had had an experience in which they were afraid they might drown, yet more than half planned to engage in activities that would put them at risk of drowning over the summer. Members of the Aquatic Sub-Council, part of the Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council, have developed the Circle of Drowning Prevention and Chain of Drowning Survival protocols to raise
awareness of the most important steps swimmers can take to reduce the number of preventable drownings. The Circle of Drowning Prevention shows the layers of protection that can help prevent potential drownings: ■ Pay close and constant attention to children you are supervising in or near water. ■ Fence in pools and spas with adequate barriers, including four-sided fencing. ■ Learn swimming and water-survival skills. ■ Make sure children, inexperienced swimmers and boaters wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets, and always swim in areas watched by lifeguards. The Chain of Drowning Survival illustrates the steps you should take when you spot someone in distress in the water: ■ Recognize the signs of a struggling swimmer, and shout for help. ■ Rescue and remove the person from the water without putting yourself in danger. ■ Call emergency medical services. ■ Begin rescue breathing or cardiopulmonary resuscitation if necessary, and use an automated external defibrillator, or AED, if available. ■ Transfer care to advanced life support if needed.

une was National Homeownership Month. For many, homeownership is a part of the American dream that is proving to be increasingly difficult to attain. Long Island home prices have hit historic highs for the second year in a row, reinforcing a 2019 report from New York state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli that found that nearly 40 percent of Long Island homeowners could not afford their homes. Homeownership should not be a luxury few can afford. Long Island’s niCoLe JeAn skyrocketing prices and a CHristiAn home longstanding history of redlining and housing discrimination make homeownership even more challenging for Black people and other people of color. This nature of division was a deliberate choice, and is built into the foundation of Long Island. In 2019, Newsday’s “Long Island Divided” explored the stark segregation and injustices on the Island, noting that 90 percent of Black residents live in just 62 of its 291 communities. Long Island’s racist past did not happen in a vacuum. The state and federal governments had an equal role in instituting racist housing policies. The Federal Housing Administration was a significant player in ensuring that Black Americans stayed out of white suburbs. Communities across the country were developed with the help of the FHA on the condition
that homes would not be sold to AfricanAmericans. Levittown was one of these communities, and it remains nearly allwhite today. Strategic segregation across Long Island set a precedent for the housing bubbles that we see today. Affordable housing on Long Island is often segregated in its own “community” or “development,” becoming a cluster lacking the integration or diversity that is the strength of any suburban community. There is also a stigma attached to the term “affordable housing,” which have been code words to refer to people of non-white descent or of lesser economic means. Yet another difficulty of homeownership on Long Island is a lack of standardized funding from New York state that would ensure affordability. The affordable housing resources that do exist are parceled out in a nonstructured way to local municipalities and some wellknown nonprofits, both of which operate using a business model that favors “profit” or “project completion” over sustained affordability that diversifies communities. Not only is homeownership on Long Island prohibitively expensive, but communities of color are often not afforded the same resources that are allocated to predominantly white, affluent communities. Ideally, all Americans would have equitable access to affordable homes, good education systems and other resources that allow communities to thrive. It is obscene that this is not the standard or even the norm in the U.S., let alone here

on Long Island, home to “America’s first suburb.” In a proclamation during National Homeownership Month, President Biden said the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development would “advance affordable and sustainable homeownership” throughout the country and break the deep-rooted barriers that have prevented so many people of color in the U.S. from becoming homeowners. These barriers, alongside the economic hardships created by the coronavirus pandemic, are keeping many from the opportunity of homeownership. The Uniondale Community Land Trust is working hard to provide this resource in its community. Instead of creating a separate neighborhood of affordable housing, in Uniondale the goal is to integrate affordable housing within the existing neighborhood. With 225 community land trusts across the country, this affordable housing model allows residents to renovate and sell homes at lower-than-market prices while retaining ownership of their land

through 99-year ground leases. This model helps create permanent affordable housing and gives community members agency over how their towns can grow and thrive. U-CLT is working diligently to build a project pipeline to provide homeownership opportunities for families making 60 to 80 percent of the area median income. As of 2020, the AMI in Nassau County was $126,600. The goal is to help provide fair, equitable housing here. Having access to stable, quality, affordable housing helps people become part of diverse communities, find and keep jobs, lead healthier lives, and take better care of their children. There is no question that opportunities to own homes make a serious positive impact in people’s lives. Creating sustainable, affordable housing is an excellent way to ensure that all can become homeowners in their lifetimes. Homeownership does not need to be unattainable. Current homeowners should be able to afford their homes. Providing people and communities with the resources they need to flourish must be a priority everywhere. Nicole Jean Christian is executive director of Uniondale Community Land Trust. To learn more about its efforts, go to www.uclt.org or email info@u-clt.org.
FrAmework by Christina Daly
Letters Kreiss’s column in the Herald, and enjoyed none more than “Five-day tour of the Big Apple’s thrills and chills” (July 1-7), about her trip to Manhattan with her daughter and grandchild. I totally relate, having recently ventured back into Manhattan, most recently visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MOMA. I hope Randi caught the Alice Neel exhibit at the Met. I was unfamiliar with Neel, but wow, what a creative and gifted artist — from her earlier work of Communist party leaders, to motherhood, to people of color, to the architecture of her beloved Harlem and so much more. And, of course, all the wonderful art at MOMA. Sadly, somehow we missed Van Gogh and Calder, but will definitely go back sometime soon. But I have tickets to immersive Van Gogh, which I’m really looking forward to. Living in Long Beach — and really, anyplace on the Island — it can at times seem, if you let it, like a chore to go into Manhattan, but once there, I quickly realize everything I love and have missed
about the city. There’s nothing quite like that energy, and it feels so great to see it coming back. I just love walking around, taking in the sights and sounds. The streets seem to be as busy as ever. And once theater reopens, I believe Manhattan will be back 100 percent. Thanks to Randi for her oh-so-relatable columns, putting into words much of what I’ve felt, thought and experienced during Covid. LORRAINe CIeRI Long Beach
