Turkey trotters flock together

Vendors, food trucks turn LIRR parking lot into festive market

Two members of the Tomzyk family were appropriately attire for the inaugural Turkey Trot in Seaford last weekend, organized by St. William the Abbot Roman Catholic Church. The Nov. 20 race, which kicked off at 8:30 a.m. with a Fun Run, served as a fundraiser for the church. More photos, Page 3.

There were winter-themed trinkets, hot cocoa and lot of spirited Seafordites at the firstever Seaford holiday market last Saturday, where more than 100 residents turned out to prepare for the holiday season. Dozens of vendors lined the Long Island Rail Road station parking lot on Sunrise Highway, to offer their goodies to prospective shoppers from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., while food trucks prepared meals until 8 p.m. The event, organized by the Chamber of Commerce, emulated the success of Seaford Saturday Nights,

which the chamber has set up since 2019. “It’s been a big hit so far,” chamber member Donna Jebaily said at the market. “We started with the Seaford Maker’s Markets over the summer, and people got word of it and wanted to do a holiday market, so here we are with 56 vendors today.” The holiday market vendors, some of whom came from as far away as Manhattan, were eager to return, Jebaily added. “We had a lot of people that heard about it that wanted to be involved,” she said, “so we reached out, and we have an amazing turnout.” From Seaford-themed attire, Continued on page 16

Protesters voice opposition to school vaccine mandates By KATE NAlEPINSKI knalepinski@liherald.com

“Fight for my mommy’s right to choose!” one sign read. “We love our freedom of choice,” another stated. “Families should NOT have to choose between public school and the shot,” another read. These statements were emblazoned on some of the many signs outside Wantagh High School and Seaford Manor School on Nov. 18, when district parents and children spread more than 70 pairs of children’s shoes around school grounds to make a statement about potential Covid-19 vaccine mandates in

schools. More than 50 districts on Long Island — and many others across the state — took part in Operation Shoe Drop last week, the movement’s founder, Kimberly Boyette, of Merrick, told the Herald. The shoes served as a visual representation of the children who may be pulled out of school in the event that the vaccines are made mandatory. A new bill in the State Assembly would mandate immunization for attendance at all public and private schools, and would authorize the state health commissioner to develop and supervise the rollout of a school vaccination program. The bill is cur-

rently under review in the State Senate. In an effort to raise awareness of the bill, the shoes were collected and dropped off at the office of State Sen. John Brooks in Massapequa on Nov. 19. Brooks, from Seaford, represents the 8th Senate District, which encompasses Wantagh and Seaford. The shoes were then donated to a South Shore-based drive, Boyette said. “We’re all here for the same reason: parental choice,” district parent Lisa Schreiner said at the gathering last Thursday. For Schreiner, that means choosing whether children wear masks or get the vaccines.

Schreiner said that her children — an 11-year-old at Wantagh Middle School and a 7-yearold at Forest Lake Elementary — have had difficulty focusing in school while wearing masks, as required. And children struggle to pick up on social cues when everyone wears masks, she said. “Children don’t know if the teacher is angry [or] if she’s

frustrated because [her] face is covered,” Schreiner said. “We need parental choice,” Boyette told the Herald, adding of the vaccines, “It’s only been around for less than a year. If a person wants it, that’s great. I’m so happy that people who want it can get it, but I don’t want it, and I don’t want my daughter to have Continued on page 4

ChurCh-goers, priests and community members sported turkey hats and seasonal costumes for the inaugural race held on Nov. 20 in Seaford.

Parishioners, priests trot with turkeys

Children, parents, ChurCh-goers and others joined in on the first-ever St. William the Abbot R.C. Church turkey trot. Fr. Joseph Fitzgerald and Fr. James Hansen were happy to dress up and participate in the local race. Children and adults took off from the starting line as the 5K Run and Walk began at 9 a.m. last Saturday.

A horn sounded at the count of three and the racers were off ! St. William the Abbot R.C. Church hosted its inaugural Turkey Trot Fun Run and 5K Run and Walk in Seaford on Nov. 20. Parishioners and community members gathered outside the church on Jackson Avenue around 8 a.m. Children and other church-goers took off for the Fun Run at 8:30 a.m., and the 5K race and walk began at 9 a.m. Some attendees sported turkey costumes, including Fr. James Hansen, who hosted the race. The event served as a fundraiser for the church, so it can continue to benefit the community. Post-race refreshments were provided to participants. St. William the Abbot has over 600 parishioners of the Catholic faith and always welcomes new attendees. Next month, the church will host a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony (with a visit from Santa Claus!) on Dec. 10 at 5 p.m. For more information about the event and St. William the Abbot, go online to: https://stwilliam.org/ about-us.

Parents, students join Operation Shoe Drop continued from front page it, because I don’t know the long-term effects.” Wantagh resident Kevin Henshaw said he discovered the high school drop-off event on social media, and was eager to participate. “We’re here to support the move not to have mandatory vaccinations for kids in school, and to get these kids from wearing masks every day,” he said. “It’s been two years now — that’s a long time.” Henshaw noted that his youngest daughter, who is 5, has never experienced a school environment without a mask. The movement comes less than a month after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention authorized the Pfizer BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11. The pediatric vaccine — onethird of the adult dose — quickly became available to local doctors’ offices and pharmacies, leaving parents to decide whether to have their children vaccinated. The 10-microgram Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children is administered in two doses, three weeks apart. Those 12 and older receive a 30-micrograms shot. According to the Food and Drug Administration, in clinical trials, side effects were mild, and similar to those seen in adults. In a tweet last week, Gov. Kathy Hochul in a tweet stated, “If we want to get to the point where we don’t need masks in schools especially — we need to get through the holidays without a spike.” Hochul added that if there were no spike,

Isles fans raise the roof on their new ‘Barn’ UBS Arena opening ends a 20-year battle for team’s home base By Tom Carrozza tcarrozza@liherald.com

Islanders fans from across Long Island made the pilgrimage on Saturday to the team’s new home at UBS Arena in Elmont. Despite a disappointing game result — the Islanders lost to the Calgary Flames 5-2 — fans were elated to finally have a home for their favorite hockey team after years of uncertainty, recreating the exuberant cheering that so defined games at Nassau Coliseum, known affectionately as “The Barn.” The $1.1 billion arena at Belmont Park already means a great deal to fans who have watched the team through years when the Nassau Coliseum fell into disrepair and the Barclays Center in Brooklyn offered obstructed seating. The fanbase survived rumors of the team’s move to Quebec City or Kansas City in the 1990s and 2000s and has STeven finally been Ferraro rewarded with an Islanders fan arena that pays homage to both them and the players of yesteryear. “I’m 26 years old, and I’ve been waiting my entire life to see this building open,” Steven Ferraro, of Rockville Centre, said. “It was the Lighthouse and then whatever after, but the [new] building [is] absolutely fantastic, just gorgeous.” Ferraro said his favorite aspect of the structure so far is the Heineken Terrace above the main entrance, saying it’s unusual to have clublike atmosphere at a hockey game. The late John Kempf was remembered at the game by his wife and son, Christine and Sean Kempf, who carried around a cardboard cutout of him. A detective in the Suffolk County Police Department, John died in April 2020 after a battle with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease — a rare degenerative brain disorder. During his tough fight, Kempf got to speak to his all-time favorite Islander, John Tonnelli, on the phone. “It means everything to be here,” Sean Kempf said. “[My father] was a lifelong fan, and he passed that down to us.” Sean also said that his father was a huge fan of both Zach Parise and Zdeno Chara and would have been blown away if he had seen them both acquired by the Islanders in the off-season. Mark Martinez, of Levittown, said he became an Islanders fan along with his school friends when the team visited Summit Lane Elementary School when they were children. “When we were little, tickets were cheap and we would go to every game, and now we still go to every game. It’s a part of our friendship now,” Martinez said. In the upper deck, signs with the logos of Islanders fan meetup groups from San

Diego to the United Kingdom were placed above the raucous Section 329 crowd. The section, carried over from the Coliseum, serenades the team with soccer-style chants and drum playing throughout the game. The much-touted low roof of the building traps the noise, giving amazing moments like when the crowd sang along with Nicole Raviv during the national anthem. There were glimpses of what the atmosphere can be like when the team gets going, like when Richard Panik laid the first big hit or when the referees announced Brock Nelson’s first goal. Superfans Jake Basile and Nicholas Constantinidis, from Plainview, came to the game carrying cardboard cutouts of Islanders defenseman Adam Pelech’s face.

UBS Arena opens Nov. 20 to much fanfare years ago, now even selling merchandise to the over 8,000 followers of their Instagram page, “Bathtubjake.” “A lot of guys from the Barn days were kind of concerned about this not being home, but it really felt like it tonight,” Basile said. “This is genuinely a dream come true. It’s so surreal. The atmosphere was great. Not the result we wanted from the game, but the arena was absolutely amazing,” Constantinidis said. “It

felt like this is ours, this is our amazing, 21st-century arena. We finally joined the club.” Co-owner Jon Ledecky, who purchased the team with business partner Scott Malkin in 2016, spoke to and took pictures with fans outside the arena before the game. “You can hear the fans are so excited and they’re saying, ‘Thank you,’ which is great, but we’re saying it back, because without them and their support, this building doesn’t happen,” Ledecky said.

Proposed turf would require voter approval knalepinski@liherald.com

The Seaford School District has seen many infrastructure upgrades in 2021 – and will likely continue to see more next year. At the Nov. 17 Board of Education meeting, Russell Costa, Director of School Facilities and Kevin Witt, Director of Physical Education, Health and Athletics, outlined a number of ongoing district projects across the district’s campuses. The Facilities Department oversaw over $1 million worth of work over the summer alone, which “is a great testament to the Board of Education and Dr. [Adele] Pecora” for their continued support of the department, Costa said. Costa said the “big-ticket item” that was completed over the summer was at Harbor Elementary School: new drop ceilings and lighting were installed in classrooms. This improved execution of the Smart School Wiring Project, which is up and running, Costa said. The playground blacktop at Seaford Manor School was also repaved, Costa said. That work was completed at no cost to the district as it was paid for by a grant from Legislator Steve Rhoads. Also at the Manor school, the kindergarten playground was redone with turf after the rubber surface had become irreparable, Costa said. The bus loop outside of the middle school was also repaved over the summer. Boilers at the high school were replaced, as was the exterior sprinkler pump house, which is located near the football field. The main office at the high school was one of the last main offices that needed to redone. New floors were installed in the main office at the high school, and additional work was completed in the principal’s office. Science classroom 204, the current chemistry room, will be renovated in the future. The project is funded through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief II Federal Grant. Costa said: “We are always seeking security enhancements in our district.” The district will next year upgrade its camera equipment and officials are in the process of getting pricing on replacing classroom doors that have push-button

Come summer, the boys and girls bathrooms in the main lobby of the high school will likely be renovated. At the middle school, the Pupil Person Service offices are being resigned and a Wellness Center is being established. The new layout will incorporate the wellness center for students that are in crisis. The project is also funded through ESSER.

Creation of multi-use artificial turf field and relocation of Varsity baseball field?

A project for future consideration is the creation of a multi-purpose field at Seaford High School. The project, which would be funded through the district’s Capital Reserve, would require voter approval next year. The multi-purpose athletic field would serve softball, baseball, soccer and field hockey at the varsity and J.V. levels, Witt said. The project would also include the relocation of the Varsity baseball field. If the district moves forward with the reconstruction work, the secondary field – the old Varsity field – will be functional and safe for Middle School teams. If constructed, there would be fewer houses at risk of being hit by foul balls; improved seating and parking; more space for athletes on the field and for

more space batting cages, bullpens, storage units, and bleachers; and on-site electric and water. There have been some drainage problems at the Varsity baseball field, Costa said. It takes a lot of maintenance to prepare the field for play on rainy days. Some home games have had to be rescheduled due to the condition of the field. The conditions at the Varsity softball field are similar – except the current infield is made of clay, which further contributes to

heightened upkeep. There are also water drainage problems at the home team dugout, Witt said, which doesn’t have locations for athletes to store their equipment. The proposed dugout would offer storage space and shelter for players. Costa noted that the district does not have enough time to go and keep up with the current Varsity baseball field, and the field often becomes overwhelmed with weeds, making it further difficult to get it up-and-running for the baseball season. If voters approve the project, maintenance would be heavily reduced, as the field would be turf. The project would also create bleachers in the current Varsity baseball spectator area and upgrade the pitcher’s mounds and backstops on the baseball and softball fields. In years past, Witt said, some residents on neighboring Keily Drive have complained that they have found foul balls in their yards. The project would increase safety netting that would protect spectators and neighbors from foul balls. The project will appear as a proposition on the ballot in May for district voters to approve the use of funds from the Capital Reserve – which is made up of savings collected by the district – for the construction of the multipurpose field. If approved, construction would likely begin in summer 2022 and would be completed by spring 2023, Witt said.

What’s neWs in and out of the classroom

Arts and music courses have returned to normal at Seaford Manor Elementary School this school year. Last year, music teacher Rich Adams and art teacher Jamie LaSota visited students in their classrooms due to COVID19 restrictions. Adams, in a press release, said the traveling was like being a DJ – bringing his music equipment from room to room, setting it up and taking it down. Back in his room, where students come to him, has greatly expanded musical opportunities. And, as a self-described noise expert, he doesn’t have to worry about disrupting other classes, with only the band and art rooms nearby. “In the business of classroom music, students love to make noise,” Adams said. “As a music educator, it’s my job to shape bad noise into good noise. This year, being back in my classroom allows the students to show their true loudness and I can shape and sculpt their noise into music without the guilt of causing any distractions to neighboring classes.” Other benefits to being back in his room, Adams added, are engaging students in reflective movement, group dancing, guitar ensemble and Orff arrangements – compositions performed on various percussion instruments. During a recent music lesson, students performed a Chippewa warrior song, which, Adams noted, was quite noisy. LaSota follows the TAB philosophy in art, a teaching for artistic behaviors. She said it gives students choice in the materials they use for art projects. Children apply their skills and knowledge of art to create two-dimensional and three-dimensional projects that are meaningful to

them, she said. Bringing art to the classrooms last year, LaSota said, meant limiting the materials to whatever fit on her cart. Additionally, she said, projects needed to be completed in one 40-minute art class, but now they can invest more time in their work. “A benefit to being back in the art room is that students can work on projects for several weeks and store their work and portfolios here,” LaSota said. “The art room is designed to have extra storage space for student work and storage for many supplies for art making. This all sup-

ports more student choice in art.” With the art studio reopened, students have a greater range of options. LaSota can have the drawing center, painting center and collage center all open at the same time. As the year continues, even more centers will open giving her young artists even more ways to create. “Each student can be working on something different using several different art mediums,” she said. “Students are excited to be back, they are taking advantage of all the art studio has to offer and bringing new ideas to make meaningful art.”

Wantagh man arrested after police seize drugs, weapon By Mallory WilsoN mwilson@liherald.com

A Wantagh resident was arrested last week after police uncovered over two-dozen bags of marijuana and other substances, according to the Nassau County Police Department. Anthony Salina, 38, was arrested in the evening on Nov. 17 after he allegedly threatened his wife. At a press conference in Garden City on Nov. 18, Commissioner Patrick Ryder said police also discovered 28 hallucinogenic mushroom candy bars and 3 THC candy bars in Salina’s home following the response to the threat. “Drugs, money, guns, altogether – right

in a residential home here in Wantagh, Nassau County,” Ryder said during the conference. “Not good for the neighborhood, not good for us in the community.” Ryder said the chocolate bars laced with psilocybin mushrooms appeared to be like “Willy Wonka chocolate bars,” a reference to the popular candy with the same name. “This here shows you the black market is alive and well,” he said during the press conference. “These items are still hitting our streets.” Salina was arrested on multiple charges, including criminal possession of a controlled substance and cannabis. He is due back in court later this month. If he is convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison.

Foreclosure Action, you may lose your home. Please read the Summons and Complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney of 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 toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Department of Financial Services’ at 1-800-269-0990 or visit the Department’s website at http://www.dfs.ny.gov. 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. We are attempting to collect a debt. Any information obtained will be used for that purpose.

Specializing in: • Interior/Exterior Painting • Kitchens Cabinets • Deck Renovations

A. There is a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding about levels of purification and, depending on the source of the information, like an advertisement instead of research reports, the facts are unclear. I couldn’t tell anyone, definitively, what works best, or even the specifics as to why, only that there are systems that are required and units that do have benefits for employers onte eeper and homeowners, according to industry reports. For example, it almost always comes up during the design phase of offices and retail spaces that the owner wants to put in a bottled-water cooler instead of a drinking fountain, but the plumbing code, which is a law, states that two drinking fountains or a dual unit, the high and low kind, are required to be installed. (The reason for the low drinking fountain is to avoid discrimination, along with many other regulations, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, signed into federal law by President George H.W. Bush in 1990.) A bottle station is nice to have but not required. Water purification will be a healthy solution for your employees and family, since it removes chlorine, sediments and multiple trace minerals. There are many different types of purifiers on the market. For commercial purposes, consider a cartridge-type purifier specific to your commercial space, and for a residence, a whole-house system such as the ones from PurifiedSolutions.net, which use a seven-stage reverse-osmosis process. Just remember, these systems all require the replacement of filters, so factor in replacement costs so you aren’t surprised later. As for the bigger question, air purification, it is a much broader and more questionable issue, since different systems filter air in different ways, and even though advertisements tout all the wonderful particulates that can be removed, virus particles aren’t necessarily one of them. Smoke from cigarettes and dust have a much larger mass, and are more easily removed with high-efficiency particulate air, or HEPA, filters than bacterial or viral-laden particles. Even though microscopic-sized allergens can be removed, unless they are treated with either damaging light or chemical containment, just catching the allergens doesn’t necessarily get rid of them. Make sure you find out what the filtration unit will do from an independent testing source report before spending the money on one. Recent studies do show the workplace benefits for having enhanced ventilation and filtration. Some 90 percent of maintenance costs are for keeping people productive at work, increasing profits by reducing infection, sickness and missed days by employees. Choose systems wisely and it will benefit you. Good luck!

OWA_GotClutter_BW_Bold

Q. I saw an article in a magazine about how I may be able to add air and water purifiers in my office to minimize sickness and infections. Is this for real? Can air purifiers limit things like Covid, and does it pay to put in a full water purifier instead of just having a bottled-water cooler station, even in my home or in my office (for my employees)?

opINIoNS

he Event,” a 2015 found-footage documentary by Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa, opens with black-and-white images of mostly men marching in August 1991 through the streets of Leningrad, in the then Soviet Union, overturning a trailer and grabbing all manner of furniture to erect hastily constructed barricades. Worry was etched on the protesters’ faces. People had assembled in Leningrad’s central Palace Square and surrounding streets to stop an attempted coup d’état that, SCoTT they believed, was radiating from MosBRINToN cow, USSR’s capital, across the land. “The Event” is a hopeful but strangely haunting film that I watched last week on Zoom. Hofstra University’s Department of Comparative Literature, Languages and Linguistics and the History Department presented it, with a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Ben Rifkin, a Hofstra professor of Russian. I wanted to see the film because in August 1991 I was a Peace Corps volunteer stationed in Bulgaria, a Soviet satellite nation for 45 years, from the end of World War II through 1990, when it finally gained its freedom and turned to democracy. I cannot express the

chilling effect the coup attempt had on many Bulgarians, who worried about a sudden return to hardline communism. I wondered what, precisely, had happened in Moscow and other Soviet cities from Aug. 18 to 21, 1991, as the coup unfolded. I had never seen images of it before. The good people of Leningrad were concerned that Soviet Armed Forces tanks might roll against their city, and a sea of tens of thousands of people rallied, placing themselves in mortal danger to preserve the democratic reforms enacted under Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. The fear of a possible attack on Leningrad was not irrational. Eight communist hardliners calling themselves the Committee on the State of Emergency, and various factions within the Soviet military, were behind the putsch, seeking to halt the impending breakup of the Soviet Union that would give sovereignty to its 15 outlying republics. Soviet tanks, in fact, rolled into Moscow, where tens of thousands of demonstrators stood in their way. Among them was Boris Yeltsin, the man who succeeded Gorbachev as president of Russia when the Soviet Union dissolved in December 1991. I was on a train somewhere outside Sofia, Bulgaria’s capital, with my then fiancée, Katerina, who was born and raised in Sofia, when we first heard the news of the coup attempt. Katerina’s face turned sullen. What

would we do if it succeeded? Most Americans cannot understand the fear of the then Soviet Union that many, if not most, Eastern Europeans carried with them in the backs of their brains. They risked limb and life to secure their freedoms from the USSR in the late 1980s and early ’90s. They stood in solidarity, marching en masse in their capitals’ squares, demanding sovereignty. Then, seemingly in an instant, all their hard-won reforms appeared to be in jeopardy. If Bulgaria lost its newly won democratic freedoms to the communists, would the old-school apparatchiks “cleanse” Bulgaria of any American “sympathizers”? In that case, anyone who had had contact with an American like me would have been in grave danger of just disappearing. These were not wild conspiracy theories. They were valid questions based on nearly five decades of iron-fisted Soviet rule. Katerina and I planned an escape route to the U.S. through Greece if the coup held, which, thankfully, it did not. We were in our mid-20s at the time. We recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary, living, peacefully, on Long Island for the past 28 years, returning every few years to Sofia. Bulgaria remains a democracy to this day. The Soviet coup plotters were not especially well organized, according to various

reports, and most of the SAF military was not a party to the conspiracy. It’s said that the plotters spent most of the three days of the coup drunk. Seven of the eight organizers were imprisoned, and one committed suicide. Ilya Vinitsky, chair of the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Princeton University, was among the panelists last week. He was 22 and living in the Soviet Union at the time of the coup. It was a seminal moment in his life, a point of demarcation — there was life before the coup, and after. Now he asks his students, “Have you ever felt you lived through a historical moment?” Yes, I would respond, more than once. Most recently was the disorganized insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, when thousands of pro-Trump rioters besieged our very seat of democracy to try to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election — that is, to attempt to overthrow our nation’s duly elected president, Joe Biden. Having lived through such a coup attempt while in a foreign land, I never imagined one here, particularly not one as violent as that of last January. Democracy is clearly a fragile thing. It requires an active, engaged citizenry that respects the rule of law. If it is not respected, then it must be enforced.

Year of wonder, one Thanksgiving to the next

ast Thanksgiving we dined alone. I’m remembering an over-roasted turkey leg with a side of anxiety for me, a wedge of spinach pie for the vegetarian, hold the Thanksgiving cheer. We tried not to make too much of the day. We were veterans of isolation by then, still months away from our first vaccine. To see our kids and grandkids, someone would have had to risk flying, and the infection rates were daunting. Nevertheless, we watched millions RANDI of people choosing KREISS to travel, weaving through airport lines and hoping for the best. Spikes and surges followed. Sorry for the ruminating, but sometimes you must go back to appreciate how far you’ve come. A few months after Thanksgiving, our son and grandson caught Covid. We missed birthdays, anniversaries, proms and graduations. We were lucky; the nightly news featured Covid crises cascading across the country. Who will ever forget the pictures of refrigerator trucks parked outside New York City hospitals?

Today (and I won’t say fast forward, because it wasn’t), all of us have had vaccines and boosters. We’re all back to our jobs. Kids are back in school. As I swayed from despair to hope and back to trepidation, I coped, and that feels like enough. This Thanksgiving we will sit down with our family to start reweaving the ties that have stretched thin over the months of this pandemic. I have often written about gratitude for the small things that charge our days with interest and pleasure. This year my gratitude is singular, profound and unending. I am so thankful to the researchers and scientists and companies and governments and leaders who took on the virus and dug in for the fight. There were missteps and political machinations and failures along the way, but the development of vaccines, 90-plus percent effective, in only 11 months has been the stunning achievement of our lifetime. When we encountered a novel coronavirus transmitted easily through the air by breathing, talking and coughing, the World Health Organization said it did not expect a vaccine to become available in fewer than 18 months. Many virologists have said that the development of a safe and effective vac-

cine within 11 months was an extraordinary achievement. Please read “A Shot to Save the World,” by Gregory Zuckerman. Zuckerman tells the story of the unlikely heroes who worked together and separately, driven by the mission to find a vaccine. He describes the false starts and missteps, but also all that went right as researchers took on the challenge of their lives. It required unprecedented devotion, selflessness, fierce dedication to the job and a vision of success that transcended any one person’s ambition. It is a thrilling story. One of the salient points Zuckerman addresses is the idea that the new vaccines are too “experimental.” He says these discoveries are not one-day wonders, but blocks of research that came together over many years. They found daylight in the time of the pandemic because of the money and dedication and leadership that supported the effort. The work on AIDS informed this medical moon shot, and the Covid vaccines will inform research going forward. Zuckerman tells the story of Jason Schrum, the Moderna scientist who had worked at the company for only a short time. He came up with the actual modifica-

his year my family will gather again, and my gratitute is profound and unending.

tion to the mRNA molecule that is currently used in Moderna’s vaccine, Zuckerman writes. “That modification is the one that BioNTech uses also. It’s not the one from Katalin Karaka and Drew Weissman at the University of Pennsylvania. They’re really pioneers, and I’m not sure we would have these vaccines without them.” Zuckerman writes that not enough attention has been paid to the Chinese scientist who struggled in the early days of the pandemic to share the genetic sequence of the virus. “The guy’s a hero,” he writes. “He risked so much …” I thank them all, from the doctors and nurses to the supermarket workers to the teachers and parents of young children, to the bench researchers who put in the hours, day after day and month after month. This year at our Thanksgiving, there will be a too-big turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce. Leaves and grains for the vegetarian. We will hug and kiss our kids and grandkids, feeling safe enough with our jabs and boosters. Then we will feast on my apple cranberry crumble with a topping of gratitude for this country and countries everywhere where scientists are educated, supported and honored for their work.

UBS Arena is a win-win for Long Island

he social media posts generated by Long Islanders at the very first Islanders game at the new UBS Arena, the linchpin in a $1.3 billion transformation of Belmont Park, came fast and furious on Saturday, showing an excitement not seen since the Islanders’ four straight Stanley Cup wins in the early ’80s. The state-of-the-art arena is indeed a crown jewel of the New York metropolitan area sports scene. “Today is a monumental day for New York and the Islanders as we cut the ribbon on the world-class new UBS Arena,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said last week. “This is the first step in the newly redeveloped Belmont Park, which will serve as an internationally recognized destination for sports, entertainment, retail and hospitality.” It was only a few years ago that the

home of the Islanders was a real question mark. The team had moved out of the Nassau Coliseum in the Hub for the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and Long Island fans largely hated the venue, not only because of the distance they had to travel for games — it could be a four-hour round trip from points out East to Brooklyn and back — but also because the venue was made not for hockey, but for basketball. The new UBS Arena, finished on time and on budget, was constructed specifically for the Islanders, in Elmont, on Nassau County’s border with Queens, making it convenient for hockey fans from both Long Island and New York City. At the same time, the revitalization of Belmont Park is, no doubt, a boon for Long Island. The project, which will also include a 350,000-square-foot entertain-

LIRR, NICE Bus move toward greener future

he Long Island Rail Road and Nassau Inter-County Express Bus are making significant strides to reduce their carbon footprints, with the LIRR testing battery-powered trains on its Oyster Bay branch to replace the diesel locomotives that have rumbled across the North Shore in the past, and NICE planning to bring six electric buses online to replace compressed-natural-gas models. While on the electrified portion of the Oyster Bay branch, the LIRR trains run on the third rail. When they reach the non-electrified portion, they switch to battery power. At the same time that NICE adds the

electric buses, it will switch all 150 vehicles in its paratransit fleet to electric. Excellent! All of this was discussed last Friday during an hour-long talk on public transportation at Vision Long Island’s annual Smart Growth Summit, at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury. We can only say bravo to Phil Eng, the LIRR president, and Jack Khouz, CEO of NICE Bus, for demonstrating a commitment to the environment by moving away from dirty fossil-fuel transportation to electric rail and bus lines. Diesel trains are especially awful for the environment, using one of the dirtiest of fuels. Diesel is also among the most car-

ment and retail complex, a 250-room hotel and a community center in the future, is expected to create 10,000 jobs and generate $2.7 billion in economic activity when all is said and done. By 2024, the project is projected to sustain 3,200 full-time jobs, produce $858 million in annual economic activity and generate tens of millions of dollars in new yearly tax revenue for the region. We recognize that not everyone in Elmont is happy. Local residents have said they worry about increased traffic caused by the arena. Planners, however, have worked to mitigate traffic, building a new Long Island Rail Road station in Elmont, the first new full-time station in 50 years. Overall, the UBS Arena is a win-win for Long Islanders, whether or not you’re an Islanders fan.

letters Many thanks on Thanksgiving To the Editor: During this season of gratitude, I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to all our neighbors who make helping others a priority in their lives. Whether responding to the devastation caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ida, offering relief after the destructive home fires that occur nearly every day in Nassau and Suffolk counties or supporting others who need extra aid during Covid-19, our neighbors raise their hands to help in countless ways. Every day I am humbled by our Red Cross volunteers who share their time to help the most vulnerable prepare for and recover from life-changing disasters in their communities. And when needed, these selfless people put their lives on hold for weeks to lend a hand far from home after relentless hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and historic wild-

cinogenic substances on the planet, according to numerous federal agencies. Diesel trains simply shouldn’t exist in the 21st century. The LIRR began testing battery-powered trains on the Oyster Bay branch in April. Let’s hope the eight-month test period is successful, so the other three diesel branches — Montauk, Port Jefferson and Ronkonkoma — can become fully electrified as well. Of course, we must ask ourselves how the electricity to power our trains and buses is being generated — from fossilfuel power plants or renewable resources such as solar, wind and geothermal? Renewable is the way forward.

opinions

fter watching a boring sci-fi movie, I stared at the blinking orange hand signal outside the Lynbrook movie theater, waiting to cross heavily trafficked, four-lane Peninsula Boulevard. The white stick figure flashed, the seconds counted down to zero, and I found myself halfway across the road, wondering if this would be how I would die. I had just undergone my fourth knee surgery a few weeks before, and a fullleg brace and crutches were docCristinA ArroYo tor’s orders. The first time I had my roDriGUeZ ACL swapped for a cadaver ligament, I was a first-year doctoral student in industrial and organizational psychology, more than happy to return to class in person two weeks post-surgery, against doctor’s orders. “At least it’s your leg that’s the problem, and not your brain,” my program chair said by way of welcoming me back. Not only was this statement ableist in that it dismissed the worth of neurodivergent people, but also it showed a lack

of understanding in our leadership and institutions of what it means to live with or be a person with a disability. “I no longer want the disabled population to be an afterthought,” Nadia Holubnyczyj, the first person in a wheelchair to run for the Nassau County Legislature, said during this fall’s campaign. With the founding of the county’s new disability-awareness advisory group, she called for government “to shift their entire mindset, their language, planning and execution.” Indeed, my temporary mobility disability didn’t only affect my leg, but also changed my relationship with the world, and vice versa. First, I was following a pain management schedule that included prescription opioids, which affect memory, focus and cognitive speed. When you’re hugging a toilet bowl between fits of vomiting or falling asleep from chemically induced fatigue three times a day, it’s difficult to decide whether Edward Lawler or John Stacey Adams best explains reactions to pay inequity. Second, the cognitive labor of navigating a world not built for you, and even

temporary mobility issue changed my relationship with the world, and vice versa.

Letters fires out West. I am also grateful for our partners who share a common purpose and community spirit to connect more people with critical humanitarian support. And our financial supporters allow the Red Cross to deliver emergency relief 24/7, 365 days a year. A final word of thanks to our first responders — police, fire and EMS — whom we are proud to support as they protect and assist our communities every day. Wishing you all a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Let’s continue to look out for one another. JOSE DOMINguEZ CEO, American Red Cross on Long Island

Keep up the cancer reporting To the Editor: Regarding Scott Brinton’s column “A famed journalist enlightens us on cancer reporting” (Nov. 11-17): I want to thank Brinton and commend him for his cancer reporting. Although no cancer clusters have been officially designated on Long Island, I have found that there is a high incidence of cancer in communities here. I was diagnosed with acute myeloge-

built against you, is taxing. Where are the elevators in this Long Island Rail Road station? Are they currently in service? Will my crutches slip on the sidewalk? Where can I elevate my leg when at work? How much earlier do I need to leave? What detours should I take to avoid tripping and falling? Even though Holubnyczyj said she believes “there is no specific area of need that the county should be focusing on that would benefit the disabled,” she makes an exception for inequities in public transportation, which is one of the “hot spots” that need to be addressed. Besides planning the logistics of navigation, there is also the emotional strain of being treated as an inconvenience, a burden. “If it’s important to you, you’d attend,” an elected official said of whether to allow public meetings to be held on Zoom. “If you loved your children, you would make time,” said the president of a school club who holds monthly meetings exclusively in the evening. According to the 2018 American Community Survey, about 2 million New Yorkers, roughly 11 percent of the state’s

population, have a visible or invisible disability. And even after passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, over 30 percent of reports filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission were claims of disability discrimination. In the past five years, Nassau County has spent almost $1 million in ADA settlements, even though only about one in five report this kind of discrimination. My Ph.D. program chair accurately recognized that there was a problem, but it wasn’t my leg. My leg wouldn’t have been a problem if public transportation had reliable access, if workplaces provided proper accommodations, if public meetings offered remote participation and if that pedestrian crossing signal lasted a few seconds longer. The disability doesn’t lie within me, Nadia, or within the community of people with disabilities, but within our institutions. Cristina Arroyo Rodriguez is editor of the Baldwin Herald and has been a nonprofit organizational consultant in the areas of pay equity and diversity, equity and inclusion. She has lectured in psychology at Baruch College, Bronx Community College and the City University of New York, and has taught Master Executive classes for NYPD leadership at John Jay College.

FrAmework by Christina Daly

nous leukemia two and a half years ago. In my square-block area in North Merrick, there were four other people diagnosed with cancer. One of them lost her life. In Merrick, I know of five other people with blood cancers besides me. In the office where I worked in Roosevelt Field, there were two others besides me diagnosed with blood cancers. One of them lost her life. We were an office of only about 75 people. This is all anecdotal, but unless responsible reporters like Brinton and Dan Fagin bring this to the public’s attention, dangerous cancer-causing situations will not be addressed. Thank you for the work you do. PATRICIA FIFE North Merrick
