A bid for a cleaner world Bond act could bring big bucks for projects in Elmont, V.S. ■ Flood risk reduction

By PeteR BelFIoRe pbelfiore@liherald.com

With the passage of New York’s Environmental Bond Act, officially known as the Restore Mother Nature Bond Act, along with the state budget earlier this month, communities across the state are potentially slated to gain access to roughly $3 billion in bond funding for various environmental and infrastructure projects should voters give final approval to the borrowing in November 2022. The money that would be provided through the act is intended for projects that fall into four broad categories, according to a report by Rebu il d by Design, a community and engineering advocacy organization formed in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

V.S. houses of worship remain lifelines as pandemic persists By NICole AlCINDoR nalcindor@liherald.com

As the first few months of year two of the coronavirus pandemic unfold, many Valley Stream houses of worship continue to give back to residents and neighboring communities with their own food pantries or by donating to other pantries to meet increasing need. “When Covid first hit, a lot of people were out of jobs, seniors couldn’t go to stores, and many stores were only

opened in limited time slots, so there was a larger need from families on Long Island for basic food needs,” said Valley Stream resident Ruhee Kapadia, one of the founders of Valley Stream’s Masjid Hamza food pantry, which started last August. “I feel truly blessed to be able to help so many families and to see that my passion for helping others has turned into a fullblown experience every week.” The Masjid Hamza pantry offers nonperishable food

items year-round and is open to residents and people in neighboring communities every Monday from 3 to 5 p.m. Occasionally, it offers milk, cooked meat and chicken to families in need. In addition, it is now offering special boxes with Ramadan items to serve Muslim families. Masjid Hamza has also been collecting food donations since the beginning of April for a separate Ramadan food pantry, and will continue to give and collect donations through May Continued on page 11

Rebuild By Design estimated that the bond act has the potential to generate 65,000 jobs, and State Sen. Todd Kaminsky called the funding a “once-in-a-generation” opportunity to improve or replace aging infrastructure in Elmont and Valley Stream. Va l l e y S t r e a m , Kaminsky said, could request funding for the replacement of its sewer systems. “Valley Stream has been a community for well over 100 years,” he said, noting that some of its municipal infrastructure dates to its founding. “. . . It’s very rare for this kind of money to become available.” While the bond act outlines allowable uses for the funding, it would remain up to municipalities — villages, the Town of Hempstead and Nassau County — to identify need and administer the projects, Kaminsky said. Guy Jacob, a retired teacher

f approved by voters, the legislation would allow for $3 billion in bonds to be made available for environmental infrastructure projects.

tHe MeMorial Club Students Committed to Social Justice held its first event, a run/walk at the school, late last month.

Memorial social justice club kicks off The Memorial Junior High School commenced a new club this year with a run/ walk kickoff event late last month. Students Committed to Social Justice. Akaeze serves as the club president and is currently a sophomore at Central High School. The run/walk event came about through club discussions on various social justice topics, with the theme dubbed as “We ALL Run/Walk on EQUAL Ground.” This was also in honor of Ahmaud Arbery, who was killed when three white residents in his neighborhood chased him

down and shot him while Arbery was on his daily jog on Feb. 23, 2020. The students wore masks, were socially distant and ran or walked 2:23 miles around the Memorial track in his honor. SCSJ is a club in which students meet virtually (this school year) and have discussions regarding issues involving social injustices and inequities, ethnicity, race and other social topics. This is a safe space where students come to share experiences, beliefs and have discussions with their peers regarding these issues in a productive way.

tHe Club MeetS virtually to discuss issues of social injustice.

World Language Week at Central H.S. Valley Stream’s Central High School students recently celebrated a variety of diverse cultures for World Language Week. This year’s traditions, heritages, recipes, flags, dances, music, poetry, pictures and videos were shared virtually on a World Language Heritage Week Teams page, which received more 150 entries from students and teachers. The week kicked off with Monday’s Represent Your Roots Day, when students posted pictures and flags that represented their culture. Tuesday’s focus was sharing delicious food recipes that represented so many different cultures. For Wednesday, students witnessed an abundance of diverse talent through music and dance. On Thursday, students in French, Italian, Japanese and Spanish classes competed online in a “Battle Royale” to test their knowledge in the languages they are studying. Friday’s festivities were a day of reflection that followed the theme, “This is me…where I come from.” This gave students the opportunity to discuss the pride they carry in their own culture as they also learned about other cultures.

South father identified as shooting victim SPeakiNG outSide the Stop & Shop, Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said the shooter was armed and still at large. Police would later find and arrest the suspect, identified as Gabriel DeWitt Wilson.

By Nakeem GraNt and Scott BriNtoN ngrant@liherald.com; sbrinton@liherald.com

A person of interest in the West Hempstead Stop & Shop shooting was apprehended by Nassau County police on Terrace Avenue in Hempstead Tuesday afternoon following a massive search that included more than 100 officers who fanned out throughout the area. Around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, police said, a former or current employee of the West Hempstead Stop & Shop at 50 Cherry Valley Ave. shot and killed one 49-year-old employee and wounded two others, sending surrounding school districts and homes throughout the area into lockdown. Police identified the person of interest as Gabriel DeWitt Wilson, who has known addresses in Hempstead and Long Beach. His most recent address was on Covert Street in Hempstead. A woman at the door of his one-time Market Street apartment in Long Beach said he no longer lived there, and she did not know him. The identity of the murder victim was not known at press time, but it is believed he had children at South High School in Valley Stream. The school principal, Maureen Henry, sent this message to students and parents: “It is with a very heavy heart that I share with you that the victim was the father of two of South’s students. I ask that you keep this family in your thoughts and prayers. I will let you know what you can do to support the family in this terrible time.” State Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages wrote on Facebook, “I am disheartened to find out that one of the victims of today’s active shooting is a resident of our district. We have lost a valuable member of our community. I join their family and friends in mourning this beloved community member.” Nassau County police had urged local residents to remain indoors, as the shooter was armed. Among the school districts on lockdown were West Hempstead, Sewanhaka and Valley Stream North, as well as Sacred Heart Academy in nearby Hempstead. The shooter was described as a black man, 6-foot-2, 30 years of age, wearing all black, with a black baseball cap. Nassau police first identified DeWitt Wilson as a

person of interest on its Twitter feed. Kayo Boxing owner Michael Corleone, one of the neighboring businesses, said he immediately heard the shooting. “I wasn’t sure if it was fireworks or a car backfiring, but the next thing you know, I heard ambulances and police cars rolling up,” Corleone said. “I only had a few people in my gym, but I wasn’t frightened. We’re all surprised because this is a good neighborhood.” Prince Mapp, of Uniondale, arrived at the scene shortly after the incident through the use of the smartphone app, Citizen, which allows users to read updates about ongoing reports and broadcast live video. An engineer who is also the head of community and culture at Citizen, Mapp recorded a livestream of the area shortly after the shooting. “It’s easier to get a gun than it is to get a job,” Mapp told the Herald. “We’ve got to do better in restricting these gun laws.” Mapp had just returned from Minneapolis where he joined in the protesting of the Daunte Wright killing and the George Floyd trial yesterday. “I just left a warzone, and to come home to see this today on Long Island is devastating,” Mapp said. “We don’t expect like this to happen right in our backyard.

It’s active.”

The supermarket was full of a couple hundred shoppers at the time of the shooting, which occurred in an upstairs manager’s office, Ryder said. Police were questioning witnesses to the shooting. “Please be assured, all students and faculty are safe, and there is no reason for concern at the moment,” West Hempstead Schools Superintendent Dan Rehman wrote in a letter to parents.

Central H.S. named top school in report By Peter Belfiore pbelfiore@liherald.com

Wallethub, a personal finance website, named Valley Stream Central High School the second best public school in New York State for 2021. The report, which ranked 500 schools in the state, also listed Valley Stream South High School as the fifth best public school and North High School as the twelfth. Adam McCann, a financial writer for the site said Wallethub looked at 26 metrics to come up with its rankings, with “college readiness,” “school experience,” “diversity” and “teacher and staff ” scores being key factors. Central High School was also notable in the report for having the highest share of students taking the SAT or ACT during the school year, which was a key metric in the “college readiness” category. The “college readiness” category also took into account graduation rates, the share of students taking AP courses, share of students planning to attend college and the number of stu-

criteria Wallethub used in its report ■ College readiness ■ School experience ■ Diversity ■ Teacher and staff dents repeating a grade, among other factors. The “school experience” category accounts for student-teacher ratios, chronically absent students, students referred to law enforcement, teacher training and school resources as well as sports participation. The “diversity” category refers to the racial and economic diversity of the school’s student body. The “teachers and staff ” category involves teacher salary and experience and overall staff presence.

Country star Eric Church coming to UBS Arena By Melissa Koenig mkoenig@liherald.com

Country music star Eric Church will be the first performer at the new UBS Arena at Belmont Park, with a concert on Dec. 4 as part of his “The Gather Again Tour.” The reigning Country Music Awards Entertainer of the Year and current American Country Music Entertainer of the Year nominee has become a leader in the music industry’s return to touring, and plans to adopt an in-the-round setup at his concerts, with the stage in the center of the arena floor in order to accommodate as many fans as possible. He has also become an outspoken advocate for the Covid19 vaccine, and plans to appear in an upcoming public service announcement promoting vaccine education, produced by ACM Lifting Lives, the Ad Council and Covid Collaborative. The ad was to air during the ACM Music Awards show on April 18, when Church was to debut a song off his “Heart & Soul” triple album project. The trio of albums will be released in the coming weeks, with “Heart” available everywhere on April 16, “Soul” available everywhere April 23, and the middle album, “&” available exclusively to the Church Choir

on April 20. Tickets to his concert at the UBS Arena will go on sale to the general public on May 7 at 10 a.m. at www.EricChurch.com. Church Choir members may access tickets early via pre-sale on May 4 at 10 a.m. A team of health professionals and engineers has spent the last year reviewing more than 250 strategies to keep patrons safe at the new US Arena when it opens in the fall, and officials are now ready to demonstrate some of the protocols they will have in place at the arena by welcoming sponsors, clients and sales prospects back to their Preview Club in Manhattan, while also working to attain GBAC STAR Facility Accreditation for the arena from the Global Biorisk Advisory Council. The building is already codecompliant, according to Ed Bosco, managing principal for New York-based ME Engineers, and will feature a new ventilation system and operations designed to limit physical interactions. Parking payments an be made over the phone at the new arena, which will also have contactless grab-and-go food and mobile ordering.

Country MusiC star Eric Church will perform at the UBS Arena on Dec. 4.

U.S. representatives form SALT Caucus Two Long Island congressmen — Tom Suozzi, a Democrat from the North Shore, and Andrew Gabarino, a recently elected Republican from the tom suozzi South Shore — are two of four co-chairs of the newly formed SALT Caucus, a bipartisan coalition of representatives seeking to restore the federal income tax deduction for state and local taxes. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, passed under then President Trump, limited the deduction to $10,000, whereas it was previously unlimited, costing many taxpayers in hightax states like New York and California thousands of dollars each. “The SALT cap penalizes working-class Long Islanders,” Garbarino said. “From firefighters to police

officers, to teachers, to nurses, and small business owners, I hear from people every day about what a crushing blow the SALT cap andrew garbarino has delivered them.” “Our ef fort to restore the SALT deduction is gaining momentum,” Suozzi said. “Together, Democrats and Republicans alike, we will advocate for the restoration of the SALT deduction and highlight the middle-class families who have been unfairly hurt by the cap.” In addition to Suozzi and Garbarino, the SALT caucus leadership comprises Co-chair Josh Gottheimer, a Democrat from New Jersey, and Co-chair Young Kim, a Republican from California.

Funds from the Holocaust Survivors Initiative are used to support case management for mental health services, trauma-informed care, crisis prevention, legal services, entitlement counseling, emergency financial assistance, socialization programs, and training for caregivers and home health aides working with survivors, as well as endof-life care. “It is imperative that we look after our community’s Holocaust survivors and ensure that they can live out their lives with dignity,” Kaminsky said.

“After all they h ave e x p e r i enced — and following a year of isolation during the pandemic — that is the least we can do for them.” Kaplan said, “We can never anna Kaplan forget the atrocities of the Holocaust, and we can never forget the Holocaust survivors who endured unthinkable tragedy in their younger years.” Cathy Byrne, a registered nurse and gerontologist who is associate executive director of the Mario and Aaron Gural JCC in Cedarhurst, said, “Thank you for securing these critical funds and never forgetting this precious population that bore witness to the most horrific atrocities against mankind and humanity.

April 22, 2021 — VALLEY STREAM HERALD

State lawmakers approve infrastructure legislation continued from front page at Wheeler Avenue Elementary School in Valley Stream and an environment advocate, said that the bond act would provide a number of benefits, including cleanenergy infrastructure, but in light of rising ocean levels, Jacob took issue with the relatively large amount of funds earmarked for shoreline replenishment and storm-mitigation projects, which he said would be a futile effort. According to the act, a third of the bond money would be made available for those projects. “There is no infrastructure that would prevent disaster from such a sea level rise,” Jacob said. “Much better to spend that $1 billion subsidizing energy-efficiency infrastructure, distributed solar, electronic vehicles and ground-source heat pumps.” Additionally, he said shoreline restoration projects might do more harm than good. “They mess with a dynamic system to create very temporary fixes,” Jacob said, “even while they engender more environmental problems.” State Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages, a Democrat from Elmont, said that as severe storms become more fre-

What is an environmental Justice area? The State Department of Environmental Conservation regards potential Environmental Justice Areas as meeting or exceeding at least one of the following statistical thresholds: ■ At least 51.1 percent of the population in an urban area reported themselves to be members of minority groups. Ronny Reyes/Herald

The STorm caTch basins in Elmont have long been plagued by garbage buildup. Local Activist Mimi Pierre Johnson suggested that funds from the state’s Environment Bond Act be used to turn the area into a green space. quent, such protection might be necessary. “We saw after [Hurricane] Sandy and [Tropical Storm] Irene that our infra-

structure is quite weak,” Solages said. Areas of Elmont, and northern and southwestern Valley Stream, are still prone to flooding, she said, noting a $3.8 million state-funded storm-resiliency project completed in Millbrook in September 2019 as an example of the type of construction the bond funds could enable. The Town of Hempstead-administered project restored wetlands along Hook Creek, replaced failing wooden bulkheads, improved storm-water drainage and created a pathway park running from Mill Road to Cloverfield Road South, an area extensively damaged by Sandy. “That was a small vision of what green infrastructure can do for our communities,” Solages said, and with the warming of the planet accelerating, she added, it is now or never to make big investments in green infrastructure and technology. “It’s just a good investment, just like us bonding for smart schools,” she said. “With Covid, that money paid itself back, and we need to be at the forefront of this issue. We’re in a climate crisis, and we don’t have time. If we’re fighting a losing battle, at least in New York state, we can get a leg up and protect what natural resources we have.”

Seeking a more just environment

Perhaps most consequential for Valley Stream and Elmont, however, is a provision in the act mandating that 35 percent of the bond funding be earmarked for projects in communities the state regards as Environmental Justice Areas. Designated by the Department of Environmental Conservation, these areas are neighborhoods that meet certain racial and socioeconomic demographic criteria. According to the DEC, much of Elmont and portions of western Valley Stream are potential Environmental Justice Areas. “If we’re talking about social justice issues, it’s to ensure our water is safe and clean to drink,” Solages said. Mimi Pierre Johnson, an Elmont resident and the founder of the community advocacy group Elmont Cultural Center, said she hoped the funding could be put

toward reducing air and water pollution in the neighborhood. Over the past decade, Elmont has had higher cancer rates than the surrounding areas, according to county figures. While the bond act wouldn’t fund a study to look into the causes of the elevated cases, as Pierre Johnson has sought, it could pay for additional water purification infrastructure should additional contaminants be discovered in the area’s drinking water. “The water authorities are at the forefront of this issue,” Solages said. “They’re looking at contaminants that get into the water as it happens. This will give them the ability to stay ahead of them.” Additionally, the act could fund the creation or preservation of green spaces in Elmont, along with the planting of trees. “Elmont doesn’t have a lot of trees,” Solages noted, saying that many have been cut down due to disease or uprooted during storms, but it would be incumbent on the Town of Hempstead to take advantage and establish a tree program. Pierre Johnson said she would like something to be done with the stormwater catch basins on Dutch Broadway, which have long suffered from garbage accumulation. “They’re doing what they’re supposed to be doing,” she said of the sumps designed to prevent flooding. “The water comes in and goes out to the bay.” But she said she hoped that with the bond funding, they could be transformed into something more. “Maybe we could look to a neighborhood like Garden City, who looked to turn their sumps into a bird sanctuary,” she suggested. “Maybe we could plant flowers and add landscaping to create a green space.”

esides the obvious physical benefits, youth sports provide social interaction that also provides a degree of mental health. Since most sports require getting up close and personal with other athletes, the Covid-19 pandemic has created some challenges. "Initially, there was a fear of transmission of Covid-19 among athletes, especially with the contact sports. That is why a lot of these sports were canceled or postponed. But fortunately, we have not seen a rapid spread amongst contact sports," says Dr. Jennifer Maynard, a sports and family physician at Mayo Clinic. According to Dr. Maynard, as the pandemic has gone on, statistics indicate that sports are not the issue. Rather, data indicate the spread of Covid-19 among athletes occurs not during sports participation, but from social contact, she says. And the rate of infection is proportional to the community rate. "It's the environment of the athletes, both on and off the court or the field that makes the biggest difference, not the actual sport. Most local outbreaks are due to contact in the locker room or on the sidelines or from other social engagements outside of the sport itself," she explains. Recently, the National Federation of State High School Associations released a statement, revising its earlier “statement on risk of Covid-19 during high school sports." The biggest change is that the federation eliminated its tiered system that ranked the risk of infection by sport, says Dr. Maynard. The group instead shared findings that showed athletes playing contact sports and indoor sports are at a higher risk of illness when compared to noncontact sports or outdoor sports. But certain factors can mitigate risk. "For instance, indoor sports can be similar risk to outdoor if you use a mask, for example, with basketball or volleyball,' says Dr. Maynard. "The general consensus is that there are many more positives than drawbacks in getting athletes back engaged. For one, there's plenty of data that show those who do athletics do better in their school life and their

home life. They succeed in future jobs and leadership roles. We absolutely want to get our athletes back to play as fast as possible but as safe as possible for the benefits of both their physical and mental health." Her top tips to parents, coaches, athletic trainers — and students themselves: √ Stay on guard and continue with social distancing. √ Universally wear a mask, especially in social situations where you cannot physically distance. √ Practice proper hand hygiene and stay home when you're sick. "Lead by example to make sure we are able to continue to lower the rates of Covid19," says Dr. Maynard. n Courtesy Mayo Clinic News Network Above photo: Young athletes have eagerly welcomed a safe return to play.

ith more than 70 parks and recreation facilities, Nassau County is literally full of places to play. Many of these parks have pools — both indoor and outdoor —great playgrounds (and winter skating — but no need to think about that now). Others offer some of Long Island's most unique opportunities for recreation. From a recreation of a 19th-century village to an aerodrome field to castle-like mansions, Nassau County has plenty to offer. Hiking and biking trails, swimming pools, and outdoor adventures can be had all across the county. Here’s a selection to get you started on your family adventure.

After touring the museum, visitors can amble out back, enjoy a picnic, identify butterflies in the colorful garden, then head down to the beach. A short but steep woodland path takes you to the rocky shore of Long Island Sound.

What happens if someone gets sick? Camps should have plan for what to do if a camper or staff member starts having symptoms of Covid-19, or any other illness. This should be based on local/state public health guidelines and policies about how to respond and report suspected Covid-19 cases. They should provide clear information to staff, campers and their families on when and how long to stay home if they get sick or have close contact with some who has Covid-19.

How will the camp help children follow coronavirus safety rules? Camps should have age-appropriate ways to help children practice hand hygiene, stay a safe distance from others, and wear face masks whenever possible and practical. This can be a challenge, especially for younger campers, so they will need a lot of reminders.

Are there extra safety steps taken for sports camps? In addition to the general safety steps for overnight and day camps, sports camps should follow safety guidance for drills, practices and competitions. This includes local and state rules, If you’re sending your child out of state, which can vary widely.

EyE doCtor oN prEmiSES EvEry friday from 9am – 3pm

ummer camps can be a chance for children and teens to make friends, learn new skills, and spend time outdoors. Kids have missed out on a lot of these opportunities during the pandemic. You may be looking for a camp where your child can relax and reconnect, but worried since Covid-19 continues to be a concern. More than a year into the pandemic, studies show that camps with proper safety steps in place can greatly limit the spread of Covid-19 infections. Key steps include mask wearing, physical distancing, having smaller groups, and cleaning and disinfecting as part of the daily routine. If you're considering camp for your child this summer, whether it's a just during the day or an overnight program, start by addressing these questions.

Will most activities be indoors or outside? Having activities outdoors, with more fresh air and room to spread out, can lower the risk of spreading Covid-19. Being outside also gives children a way to connect with nature, which can boost their health and mental health after a long, stressful year. However, even outside, it is important to avoid sharing germs. Camps should limit shared equipment for games and activities and clean them often.

Is camp staff trained on the specific health needs of children? Children attending camp may be afraid of being away from home and gathering face-

to-face with others after a lengthy time at home. The camp’s health providers should have specialized training in children's health and emotional well-being. Counselors should also have training available to help children cope with stress they may be experiencing. What kind of support is available for campers with special health care needs? Camp directors should aim to meet the needs of all children. Some children with special health care needs or disabilities may need special accommodations so they can enjoy camp while being protected against Covid-19. If your child has special health care needs, talk with camp directors and your pediatrician to identify what specific accommodations your child may need. Existing plans, such as Individualized Family Service Plans and Individual Education Plans, can be helpful. How will campers move throughout the day at camp? According to the CDC, small groups of campers with dedicated staff, when possible, will help minimize Covid-19 risk. Staggered arrival and drop-off times may also help limit contact between groups. How will snacks and meals work? It may be safest for campers bring their own meals, if possible, and eat in separate areas or with their smaller group. This would be less risky than dining halls or cafeterias. Ideally, children should bring their own water bottles rather than drinking from water fountains. What extra steps are being taken at overnight camps? When looking at overnight camps, ask if children will bunk with their daytime groups and how sleeping areas will be arranged. Lining up mats or beds so that campers and staff sleep head-to-toe at least six feet apart can help limit risk, Should my child be tested for Covid-19 before or during camp? A diagnostic Covid-19 test can be useful when a camper or a staff member had a known exposure, or is showing coronavirus symptoms. In these cases, test results can help guide decisions such as who can return to camp safely, when to notify families whose children may have been exposed, or whether the camp should be closed. However, antibody blood tests should not be used in decisions about going to camp. These tests only show if someone had the virus at one point in time. They can't identify someone who still has an active infection without symptoms, for example. n Above photo: A time-honored tradition, camps are eager to welcome campers once again this summer.

Summer is on the horizon Camps are ready to rebound

ummer is just around the corner and after many months of limited activities during a long winter in a pandemic, many parents and children are looking forward to being outside and enjoying summer camp activities. There are important physical and mental health benefits to summer camp. After resisting in 2020, many parents see an antidote to a school year when their children have been glued to a computer screen. According to some camp operators, their summer programs are filling faster this year than in years before Covid. Tuitions from last summer have been rolled over for many families, giving most programs a head start in enrollment. With some camps limiting their enrollment for this summer and teen programs not offering the same number of trips as in normal times, now is the time to start making decisions if you’re preparing to place your kids in a summer program this season. Summer camps offer children opportunities for peer interaction, increased independence, leadership roles, exercise and the challenge of trying new things. These experiences are even more significant given the social limitations that the Covid-19 pandemic has placed on children. It will be important for parents to find summer camps that help children reestablish these important social connections while maintaining the important Covid-19 risk mitigation strategies to keep children healthy while at camp. Day Camps All camps will be following the CDC’s guidelines to maintain healthy environments for campers. How will your camp implement these guidelines? Creating a healthy camp environment: Camps should be clear that any camper or counselor experiencing Covid-

ture? Will the camp notify other families if a child tests positive for Covid and what will the policy be?

19 symptoms must remain at home and obtain a Covid test before returning to camp. What are your camps protocols on daily screenings and quarantine requirements for exposed campers and/or staff? Face masks and physical distancing: All campers and counselors should wear face masks. Physical distancing is particularly important during times of high intensity activity. How will the camp accommodate increased spacing of campers and counselors? What will be the maximum number of campers per group? Will the same staff be assigned to the same group everyday? Limit carpooling: Unvaccinated campers should ride to camp with people in their own household. Hygiene and cleaning: Campers and staff should wash hands frequently. Surfaces and shared objects should be wiped down often. Vaccination and infection policy: How will camps monitor campers and staff daily for Covid-19 symptoms while at camp? If a child develops symptoms, how will the camp manage sick children and facilitate their safe depar-

Sleepaway Camps Most sleepaway camps plan to create a “bubble” this summer for children. In order to do this, children and families will need to limit high risk activities and avoid large gatherings during the week before camp starts. Most camps will require a Covid test before the camper arrives and many will perform testing on campus once the camper arrives. Some issues to think about including the following. Camp arrival and risk mitigation: How will camps structure the first week of camp? Will the camp perform Covid screening tests on all campers once they arrive? Will the camp test throughout the duration of the session? Have most of the staff/counselors received the vaccine? Also determine if children will wear masks during the first few days of camp and find out if the children be in cohorts for the first week or for the entire camp session. Activities: Understand how activities will be structured and how the will camp utilize and maximize outdoor spaces, including mealtime procedures. Parent visiting days: Unfortunately, most camps will not be able to have camp visiting days as the arrival of many people outside the camp bubble carries the risk of bringing Covid into the camp environment. If your child’s camp is hosting a visiting day, it is important to ask the camp how they plan to mitigate the risk of Covid exposure. Infection policy: Understand the camp’s plan for a child that has developed Covid-like symptoms. Have they created a place to isolate sick children? If a camper does test positive for COVID, how will the camp manage quarantining bunkmates and other staff or campers exposed to the sick camper? n

or many of us, the memories of summer camp stick with us forever. They're triggered and brought to mind by the smell of a campfire, the sight of a canoe in the water or simply a cheeky song that we remember belting out with our summer friends. 2020 put a hold on the making of those memories, but as things come back to the table of opportunity, many summer programs are working diligently to create a safe space for our kids to begin to get back to the business of making memories. Whether you’re ready to register, or prefer to create your own summer memories with your children, find an option that makes you comfortable. As the end of a pandemic school year approaches, the idea of summer break may cause some stress for parents, not quite sure of what to expect or how to prepare for a happy, safe summer. While your child may be thrilled by the end of the school year, anticipating lazy days and sleeping in, the prospect of summer break isn’t quite that unalloyed pleasure for parents. And if you have a child with emotional or developmental issues who is challenging in the best of times, nothing calls on whatever extra powers you might possess more than the long break that lies ahead.

Make it visual Kids who thrive on predictability and are prone to panic over transitions —including those on the autism spectrum — benefit

from posted schedules that outline what will happen throughout the day. Make plans Try to schedule as many activities as possible that work for your family, as early as possible, and keep your kids posted. This can mean anything from “we’re going to Aunt Mary’s on Thursday for a barbecue” to having a set routine that every day, weather permitting, you’ll be going to the playground or pool. Even one such activity can give kids a center of gravity, so to speak, around which the rest of the day can be structured. Get outdoors Home has become a safe cocoon during the pandemic, but no child should spend hours in front of a screen. If camp or a local summer program isn’t in the cards, try to find something your child enjoys — riding a bike or scooter, or splashing at the pool, water park, or beach — and do it. Plus, physical activity is good for everyone’s mind, body and spirit, especially those kids with energy to burn. Maintain a behavioral system Children and teens, especially, may act like they want to be in charge, but the truth is they feel safer knowing exactly what you expect of them and the rewards that result from good behavior. This is never truer than during the seemingly boundless — and boundary-free — summer break. n

HOME OF THE WEEK

Hewlett

Unique Architectural Gem

his spectacular waterfront estate sitting on 1.76 acres was designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Robert A.M. Stern. Living in this home is unlike anything you have ever experienced. The way he designed the light to fill every space, and the views of the water at every turn, it's an art form. The great hall with its curved windows and towering fireplace is sight to be seen. The master bedroom with limitless views of the water, enormous walk in closet and spa like bath is what you'd expect from a home of this caliber. Admiring the home you can tell from the den to the formal dining room and the library that every room was designed to host and entertain countless friends and all your family. If your guests decide to extend their stay the detached guest house with the pool cabana, sauna, and steam room has plenty of space for an overnight stay. This is a waterfront compound unlike any other.

A. Your inspector is onte eeper looking out for you. He didn’t accept the work because the interior walls that were removed had an important role to play in holding your house together. Now that there are no walls running at right angles to the outside wall, the strength of the exterior walls has been reduced, enough so they can waiver in a high wind and compromise the home. In other words, the long, unbraced wall can collapse in a heavy storm. From flying in a plane, you may have heard of wind shear. It’s caused by pulsing crosswinds that work like a giant hammer, pounding directly at the wall’s surface, like pounding a big drum face, and is referred to as positive pressure. The wall is also brushed by winds that run parallel to its surface, which causes a suction known as negative pressure. Together, the pulsing is tugging at the wall and pushing it, causing opposite reactions that, if the wall isn’t properly braced, can make it come apart and wrench away from the rest of the building. By cutting the continuous top and bottom wall “plates” that run around the whole structure, the wall is no longer attached at these points. That’s one reason why windows and doors receive extra support around the openings. The “weakest links” are the places where the connection has been severed or removed altogether, as when steel beams and columns are inserted into the wall and the wood has been cut away. Some argue that the steel beam and column actually brace the structure, but only if they are attached to the surrounding dissimilar wood. In most cases, when an inspection is done, the lack of understanding of the wind shear process is revealed, and hopefully it is discovered before a disaster and not after. This can be repaired by making the wood walls connect again, using steel sheets, steel strapping or plywood that bridges the wall studs on either side of the steel column and beam. The plywood will stick out if the wall is only as thin as the column, but with large wall studs, the plywood can be recessed to be even with the rest of the carpentry.

Q. I recently got a “framing” inspection for carpentry. The inspector asked me to get all electrical wiring and plumbing pipes in before he would look at the way the wood framing was done. Then he rejected the work because of the way the beams and columns went into the walls. We had steel beams put in so we could remove all the inside walls and open the kitchen up to the living and dining Ask The rooms. It’s now one big open space. The carpenters Architect cut the wall tops and bottoms so the beam and column could go in. Is there a way to fix this, and why is it so important? The inspector said the architect would need to write a letter explaining the fix.

y March 4-10 column, “Voting is an act of choice and an expression of voice,” prompted a note from someone who wanted to talk about threats to democracy. He leads a group of citizens who support candidates, without regard to party affiliation, as long as they support the principles of democratic government. He also said the group avoids candidates on the extreme right and left. When I asked for examples of positions taken by the extreme left, he referred to U.S. RoBERT Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and SCoTT three other female members of the House of Representatives. These four popularly elected officials, however, do not advocate revolution or communism and are not anti-capitalism. Indeed, they advocate policies that the majority of Americans support. These include President Biden’s pandemic rescue plan, an infrastructure bill to repair roads and bridges and expand broadband, background checks for gun purchases, renewable energy with tax credits and increased taxes on large corporations that currently pay low or no taxes. They advocate policies

to address income inequality, climate change and international cooperation. They do not deny the protections of the Constitution. If these are far-left policies, then the majority of Americans are far left. My reader then mentioned Sen. Bernie Sanders. While Sanders calls himself a socialist, he does not advocate a government takeover of private business. He calls for protections of workers and fair treatment for those on Main Street, not just for those on Wall Street. Even Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase has cited the need to eliminate tax subsidies for hedge funds, private jets and golf courses. That’s is what socialism looks like: government subsidies for private enterprise. In contrast, the far right attempted to undo a legitimate presidential election. It also is determined to remove government regulations that ensure food and water safety. Alarmingly, members of the far right also advocate severe limitations to voting by claiming, without evidence, that there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections. In sum, it appears that those my correspondent called far left support programs that most Americans view as necessary, and those he calls far right want to reduce and limit the rights of Americans. Some cite the protests associated with

Black Lives Matter gatherings as evidence of far-left activity, but those protests were largely peaceful and advocated fair treatment by police. They have not threatened lives the way white supremacist groups have in Washington, D.C., Oregon, Virginia and elsewhere, or planned to abduct an elected official, as they did in Michigan. In fact, while a 2020 review of almost 900 politically motivated acts committed since 1994 found that some were committed by farleft groups, such as the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front, the attacks resulted in one death. During the same 25-year span, acts committed by farright groups ended in 329 fatalities. It is true that some on the left have called for “defunding” the police in response to cases of police brutality and the use by police departments of militarystyle weapons, vehicles and tactics. But this has been largely a matter of rhetoric to force an agenda. Calls for defunding the police are a plea for shifting some funds from policing to mental health counseling, conflict-reduction training and community policing. At times, it seems the media and others promote false equivalencies in order to acknowledge both sides of an issue. But that leads to a distortion of truth, in this

hen media and others go out of their way to consider both sides of an issue.

case by claiming that there are equivalent extremists on both sides of the political aisle. We can see this in claims of “cancel culture.” Yes, speeches by some conservative commentators have been canceled because of student protests, and there are threats to free expression on some college campuses where groups try to mandate anti-racism programs. I disagree with many of these actions. Alternative points of view should be debated, presumptions of guilt should give way to evidence, and intolerance of questions has no place at a university. But these incidents pale in comparison to the far-right efforts to pass legislation controlling what can be taught and who can teach at universities, in defiance of a Supreme Court ruling. Our democracy requires truth, transparency and less anger. We need our elected officials to reflect the will of an informed citizenry and to work together for the common good. We need to protect the principles of social justice and equitable treatment. If one side is always saying no to policies that a majority of Americans support, you have to wonder why. There is no path to justice when anger prevails, when some rely on alternative facts, and when no one listens to contrary opinions. Robert A.

Just another day in America: Eight shot dead

don’t care if you are numb to this outrage. I don’t care if I’m numb to it. From where I sit, the carnage from gun violence in America, the continuing, ongoing, shocking deaths by gun, move to the head of the must-do list for this new administration. We know that list is long, and every one of the top five issues feels like a hemorrhaging wound that needs to be stanched. Covid vaccine rollout? Migrants at the border? Stimulus for the economy? Crumbling bridges? Insurgents RANDI storming the halls KREISS of government? Every problem demands action, but the national epidemic of gun violence speaks to a malignant cultural sickness that we need to treat now. 2020, the year of the pandemic, was the deadliest year for gun fatalities in decades, according to The Washington Post. That fact is especially interesting because the number of mass shootings (four or more people killed) decreased. Apparently, people were home more, so they just shot one

another. We are making up for the dip. Since January, we have suffered 147 mass shootings in America. Some 12,416 people were killed by guns over these four months. These are people shooting family and friends and strangers. These are suicides and armed robberies and kids picking up guns and shooting their brothers and sisters. These are drive-by hits and “accidental” killings. No one wants to take away anyone’s legally owned guns. But we need better laws to keep guns out of the hands of children and criminals and unstable individuals. We need bans on military-style automatic weapons. Last week, President Biden said he would take executive action to fight what he called “an epidemic and an international embarrassment of gun violence.” It is a modest initiative. Golda Meir famously said that when Israel’s enemies loved their children more than they hated Israel, peace would be possible. The same could be said of Congress: When they love our children more than they hate standing up to the National Rifle Association, the slaughter will stop.

As I write, police are investigating a mass shooting at a FedEx outlet in Indiana. Within an hour of the murders, the usual post-massacre teams gathered at the scene: police, media by the truckload and a group that travels from killing spree to killing spree with counselors and money for funerals and warnings about post-murder scams. The fact that we have such a team in America is both an indictment of our society and, obviously, a necessity. We all know the lingo of “lockdown” and “active shooter” and PTSD caused by shootings. Really, it is an abomination that we have become so proficient at handling the tragedies rather than preventing them. Remember Sandy Hook? Dylan’s mom and Daniel’s dad write to me often. In truth, I dread reading their e-mails; their words darken the day. But how wrenching it must be to write the words. These parents are leaders of the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation, the group that advocates stricter gun-control laws. They are victims of the tragedy, both having lost first-graders in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. Their work is pure and hero-

wo parents of children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School write to me often.

ic — trying to find a slender thread of hope in the heap of terrible grief that has consumed their lives. When 20 little kids were murdered in their classrooms and no serious gun control was enacted, it was more than disheartening. The legal gridlock effectively proved the intractable power of the National Rifle Association. Schools installed locks and alarms, but this isn’t about inventing better security systems in our schools. If alligators were on the loose in schools, we wouldn’t give our kids alligator repellent. We would get rid of the alligators. In an average year in this country, guns kill some 30,000 people. The information comes from the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit formed in 2013 to offer free online public access information about gun-related violence in the U.S. We need legislators to write and pass laws that will end the slaughter. Do members of Congress love their children? You bet they do. Do they love their jobs so much that they won’t stand up to the NRA? You bet they do. When they love their children, and America’s children, more than they love NRA money, we may finally see support for real gun-control laws. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss.

L.I. making strides on the environmental front

pril 22 is Earth Day, when we come together as a nation — and a planet — to celebrate the natural world and renew our vows to protect the environment from harm. In honor of Earth Day five years ago, the Herald developed a three-part wish list of actions that government representatives and private citizens might take to help clean up and preserve Long Island’s environment. This year, we decided to take a look back and see how we’re faring in meeting the goals on this seemingly lofty list.

How it all began In 1970, America led the way in founding the now international Earth Day movement. Sen. Gaylord Nelson, a Wisconsin Democrat, came up with the idea after witnessing the environmental devastation caused by an infamous 100,000-barrel oil spill in Santa Barbara, Calif., in 1969, according to the nonprofit Earth Day Network. On the first Earth Day — April 22, 1970 — some 20 million Americans took to the streets and parks to protest widespread industrial damage to the environment.

Point One: Cleanup of the Northrop Grumman toxic plume. In 2016, we wrote, “Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the State Department of Environmental Conservation must find a way to force Northrop Grumman and the Navy to clean up the toxic mess they left behind in Bethpage, Wantagh and Seaford. The toxic plume that formed during World War II beneath the old Grumman aerospace plant in Bethpage is steadily moving southward. Chemicals used to manufacture naval warplanes were carelessly allowed to seep into the ground. If the plume isn’t stopped, it will eventually reach South Oyster Bay, contaminating the fragile wetland ecosystem that hugs the entire South Shore and harming, if not destroying, the area’s fishing and clamming industries. The stakes could not be higher.” We are happy to report that Cuomo announced a $406 million remediation plan in December among the state, Northrop Grumman and the Navy to clean up the plume. The only trouble: Doing so could take 100 years, showing us, in no uncertain terms, that it’s far

better to prevent damage to the environment through government regulation than to allow polluters to have their way. Point Two: An ocean outfall pipe for the Bay Park Water Reclamation Facility, one of two Nassau County sewage treatment plants. In 2016, we wrote, “Our federal, state and local governments must –– must –– find a way to fund an ocean outflow pipe from the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant, a county facility, three miles out to the Atlantic Ocean. The greatest environmental threat facing the South Shore is nitrogen-laden effluent from the treatment plant. Each day, millions of gallons of this wastewater pour out from a cement pipe in the middle of Reynolds Channel, just north of Long Beach. From there it is dispersed by the tides. “The nitrogen accelerates seaweed growth. The seaweed, which grows to unnatural lengths, easily breaks apart and rots, robbing marine life of dissolved oxygen. There are now whole sections of

letters Congratulations to the Heralds To the Editor: Congratulations to the Herald Community Newspapers on winning 26 awards at the New York Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest. Week in and week out, the Heralds provide high-quality coverage of the news that matters most to our community, and the dozens of honors the newspapers received are a testament to that fact. In particular, Senior Editor Michael Smollins deserves special recognition for earning the second-place prize in the Best News Story category for his reporting on a critical environmental issue facing our communities. Likewise, Executive Editor Scott Brinton is to be commended for receiving third place in both the Best Column and Best Editorial categories, in addition to two other honors.

the Western Bays that are considered ‘dead zones.’” Today, we are happy to report that the county is moving ahead rapidly with plans to construct a $408 million pipe from the Bay Park plant under Sunrise Highway, in an abandoned aqueduct, and then on to the Cedar Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. From there, it will be sent three miles into the Atlantic Ocean. Point Three: Nitrogen reduction. In 2016, we wrote, “Local municipalities, businesses and even homeowners must take responsibility for the unnecessarily high amounts of fertilizers they pour on lawns to keep them emerald green. Golf courses consume vast amounts of fertilizer. So do homes. Any excess fertilizer that doesn’t dissolve into the ground is washed into street drains, and from there into the bays. Fertilizers also accelerate seaweed growth,” damaging the bays. In 2021, we are happy to report that the Long Island Nitrogen Action Plan, a partnership among the DEC, the Long Island Regional Planning Council, and Nassau and Suffolk counties, has made significant progress in assessing the extent of Long Island’s nitrogen pollution and developing plans to reduce it. So much more needs to be done, however. Homeowners can help by spreading only organic fertilizers on their lawns. The organics dissolve slower in the soil and do not wash away as easily as synthetic fertilizers. Clearly, Long Island has made significant strides these past five years, which is cause for celebration. Protecting our environment, however, is a never-ending battle that we must win.

opinions

he federal Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on April 13 advised that states temporarily pause administration of the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine. There’s no question that the cases of six women who suffered unusual blood clots — one of whom died — need to be monitored and considered closely. This is certainly an alarming setback. But the abundance of caution exhibited does not mean the vaccine is unsafe BrUCe for widespread use. Rather, it FarBer means that we are following a safety measure that was installed in the process to safeguard further patients who may be susceptible to clotting. This is what we want to see during the vaccination process, or for any medical treatment, for that matter. In fact, this news demonstrates that the process is working. Safety has always

been paramount to this massive vaccination effort, perhaps the largest clinical undertaking in centuries. This pause — and let me reiterate that it is only a pause for now — indicates that the U.S. is well organized to evaluate, and ideally prevent, these occurrences. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System is used by agencies to report the side effects of vaccines, an effective and seamless way for federal agencies to alert physicians to symptoms of these seldom-seen blood clots and treat them properly if they encounter them. In terms of J&J’s vaccine, more than 6.8 million people had already received the single-shot dose before the pause, so there was about one-in-amillion chance of this severe clotting to occur. And still, the six cases were enough to persuade clinical advisers to decide to review progress before moving forward. The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is meeting to investigate these cases closely to determine their cause, and whether vaccinations should continue. Their job is to

he inoculations remain the biggest weapon in the fight against Covid-19.

County seeks $85 million for veterans’ care To the Editor: My administration is seeking $85 million in federal infrastructure funding to expand health care and housing for veterans. The funding would help the nassau Health Care Corporation renovate facilities to include veterans’ in-patient services and specialized care, establish a Veterans’ Adult Day Health Care Program and upgrade unoccupied apartment buildings on nHCC’s East Meadow campus to house veterans suffering from housing insecurity. The funding would preserve nHCC’s role as the region’s only public-safety-net health care system and establish an important satellite for the northport Veterans Affairs Hospital for thousands of veterans who require treatment but find it out of reach because of the distance. We have an opportunity to expand critical care and enhance quality of life for thousands of veterans who served our country. Too many veterans right now in nassau face burdensome hurdles as they travel to out-of-county facilities for specialized care. This is a chance for

openly discuss the safety and process moving forward. And in the age of misinformation, their work is critical to presenting the facts. Vaccines are the biggest weapon in the fight against Covid-19, and in a timely way, because timing does matter. It matters in places like Michigan, which is now seeing a fourth surge in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations. It matters for countries like Thailand, which until now have been able to contain the virus. And it certainly matters for the loved ones of the women who suffered the blood clots. I can almost hear the faint calls of those who have been hesitant or resistant to being vaccinated. They will likely mislabel these rare side effects as common, distorting them into reasons to skip the inoculations. That would be a grave mistake and miscalculation. With Covid-19 stubbornly hanging on as the third-leading cause of death in the U.S., we cannot afford to simply eliminate this type of vaccine from our anti-pan-

demic arsenal without the most careful consideration, nor can we afford for nine million recently shipped doses to go unused. Let’s not mince words about the need for this vaccine. The World Health Organization reported that more than four million people were recently diagnosed with Covid-19 in a single week. In that context, our federal agencies bear a heavy burden as they evaluate whether these unusual medical occurrences are vaccine-related. Let’s push forward with the use of the other vaccines while we place some trust in the agencies charged with investigating the safety of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. For all of us, I hope for a better understanding of why the women suffered the severe clotting, and the establishment of parameters so we can safely resume the use of the vaccine in the near future.

the federal government to step up in the upcoming round of stimulus bill discussions to deliver for our veteran community. Veterans who live in nassau often travel hours to access enhanced medical treatments offered at VA hospitals. The closest hospitals for nassau’s more than 40,000 veterans are outside the county, in Suffolk, Brooklyn and Manhattan. The distance and time required to get to these facilities is often difficult for veterans to navigate, and as a result, a disproportionate number of veterans lack access to medical care. nassau has a proud tradition of supporting the heroes who served our country. Expanding existing services and renovating unused space in our county could help transform how nassau serves them. Through a hybrid health care model that preserves nHCC’s mission of serving the most vulnerable, nassau would become home to new york state’s first Veteran Housing Village.

Remembering Jackie Robinson To the Editor: April 15 marked the 74th anniversary of Jackie Robinson playing his first major league baseball game for the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was a milestone for

integrating the sport. It was a time when working- and middle-class men and women of all ages, classes, races and religions commingled in the stands rooting for Robinson and his teammates, regardless of ethnic origin, game after game. Ordinary Brooklyn natives could ride the bus, trolley or subway to Ebbets Field to see their beloved Dodgers. Everyone could afford a bleacher seat. Hot dogs, beer, other refreshments and souvenirs were reasonably priced.

Just as Robinson fought racism in the 1950s, the Detroit Tigers’ Hank Greenberg had to do the same with anti-Semitism in his time, during the ’30s and ’40s. Robinson and Greenberg both show us the long-lasting relationship between African-American and Jewish sports fans standing together for decades in support of one another. LARRy PEnnER Great Neck
