HERALD PERSON oF THE YEAR Ebony GuErriEr

A mom who turns passion into love Ebony Guerrier’s grassroots charity brings joy to families and those in need By Stacy Driks

For Ebony Guerrier, community service has never been about praise or publicity — it’s about showing up, giving back, and bringing joy to Uniondale families who need it most. Guerrier, 42, a mother of three, ages 18, 11 and 9, is a second-grade paraprofessional at Uniondale’s Smith Street Elementary School and vice president of the PTA. In September 2020 she founded Mrs. G’s Brown Bag Charity, a grassroots initiative that began with a simple food and clothing drive and grew into a year-round source of support for families across Uniondale and nearby communities. For all that she has accomplished since then, the Herald is proud to name her its 2025 Person of the Year. don't Since the early days of the cororeally have navirus pandemic in the summer of 2020, Guerrier has helped lead seasonal the financial drives and family-friendly events that budget to cover have become neighborhood fixtures, becoming a from food distributions and school supply giveaways to “trunk-or-treats.” 501(c)(3), but it “People were dying left and right,” doesn’t stop me she said of the height of the Covid-19 trauma. “I was like, how can we keep from still being the community happy and inspired? a giver. How do we do that safely?” She knew that with thousands of EboNy GuErrIEr people out of work — nearly 300,000 on Long Island by the summer of 2020, according to State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli — families would need food and clothing more than ever. So Guerrier turned to Facebook, her primary networking tool, to rally help. She joined community groups such as Freeport New York, Moms of Long Island and Mommy Poppins, connecting with others who wanted to give back. In the summer of 2020, in Freeport’s Randall Park, she laid out more than a dozen bags of donated items — clothing, shoes, toys and nonperishable food — on picnic tables. Most of it was given away that day, and what was left was donated to local homeless shelters and nursing homes. In Guerrier’s eyes, Uniondale does not benefit from the same charitable outreach and support as neighboring communities do. And even though there are nonprofits in the hamlet such as the Community Council, she believed that more help was needed. “I don’t feel like those opportunities are here,” she said. “And in order to make that happen, it does take somebody — some-

body’s bright idea of kindness to even get that started.” Her 18-year-old daughter, Ryana Guerrier, said that when her mom comes up with an idea, she follows through on it, and nothing can stop her. “She will speak to the PTA and say how she feels, or she’ll do it by herself for her students,” Ryana said. “After, people see how good it was for the community.” Even after Ebony helped families during the pandemic, she wanted to make more of a difference, which led her to create Mrs. G’s Brown Bag Charity, whose first initiative was a school supply drive. For help, she reached out to longtime friend Kami Clahar, of Baldwin, a fellow Uniondale High School graduate. “Ebony always has ideas, and she organizes and she executes,” Clahar said. “And it’s really remarkable.” Before Halloween 2020, Guerrier came up with the idea of a trunk-or-treat, in which kids stop by cars and pick up candy, because some neighbors closed their doors for the season. “And I was like, ‘That’s a great idea,’” Clahar recalled. “It

was just a great morale boost for the community, to lift everybody’s spirits, because it was tough,” she added of the pandemic. Mrs. G hosted its first trunk-or-treat at Uniondale Avenue Park. Most of the volunteers who decorated their vehicles were Guerrier’s and Clahar’s friends from high school. One of them, Eric Turner, a firefighter with the Uniondale Fire Department’s Brookside Engine Company 2, showed up in a fire truck, much to the delight of the children who took part. But the participants had to be creative, Clahar said, because people were social distancing. Instead of parking cars side by side, they used every other parking space. Since then, the tradition has grown. This Halloween, more than two dozen cars filled the Uniondale Avenue Park lot, fully decorated and stocked with candy for neighborhood children. Mrs. G’s has expanded to include other seasonal events, such as an Easter egg hunt, Mother’s Day celebrations and, most recently, a turkey giveaway before Thanksgiving. Guerrier’s work has influenced her daughter’s own career path. Ryana, who often travels with her to charity events,

now attends Nassau Community College, where she’s studying for a degree in education. Her dream is to become a teacher and work with children, just like her mom. When students from Smith Street see Ebony at community events, they yell, “Hi, Ms. G!” Ryana said, mimicking a child’s voice. “Now that I’m going into teaching, they call me Ms. G’s daughter — like, ‘Oh, Ms. G’s daughter!’ I love hearing that, and seeing how happy they are to see her.” In addition to her college classes, Ryana works part-time at Northern Parkway School as a lunch monitor. “I like to be with the kids, because I’ve always been with them — for my mom,” she said. When Ryana joins her mother at giveaways, she often pitches in with creative ideas — picking out candy or snacks, snapping photos, and helping manage logistics when her mom gets overwhelmed. “I think I’m a multi-tasker — that’s just me,” Ebony said. “I like to be busy, and I like to do good.” She is an active member of her church, Zion Cathedral, in Freeport, in the missionary department and hospitality. When she saw a need this year, she took charge, organizing the Thanks-

giving food drive when federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits were held up. Mrs. G’s operates without major sponsorships or outside funding. Most events are made possible through a mix of small donations, volunteers, modest participation fees and out-of-pocket

contributions from Guerrier and Clahar. “Quarterly we will come up with different community things that are affordable,” Guerrier said. “We don’t get any sponsorships. We literally do this out of our pockets — or with the community that donates, or families who pay a very minimal fee.” The Town of Hempstead has supported her efforts by allowing her to use public parks and facilities when they’re available. And local businesses occasionally step up as well. “For our Halloween events, we may have certain local businesses sponsor a table — they’ll put up a little sign and hand out fliers and candy to the kids,” Clahar said. “It’s usually just crowd-funded within our little group,” she added, referring to friends and family. So it’s understandable that Guerrier’s wish is to become a registered nonprofit organization, known as a 501(c)(3). She estimated that she and her friends have spent well over $1,000 on permits, decorations and extras to make her charity event memorable. “I don’t really have the financial budget to cover becoming a 501(c)(3), but it doesn’t stop me from still being a giver,” Guerrier said. “It’s for the children and for the parents, so it’s worth it.”

the amount of sleep they get, affect their diabetes. Mount Sinai South Nassau’s Chief of Endocrinology, Effie Tsomos, MD, and Meghan Costigan-Kraus, NP, CDCES, Director of Diabetes Education, offer some answers and recommendations to frequent questions they receive from their patients during the holidays. What are the differences between 10-day and 15-day continuous glucose monitors (CGMs)? Ten-day CGMs are designed to be worn for up to 10 days before the sensor needs to be replaced. Fifteen-day CGMs extend the wear period to 15 days. All of these systems provide real-time glucose readings and alerts for high or low glucose levels, making them especially appropriate for people who need continuous glucose data to manage diabetes safely. Because of their advanced medical features, they require a prescription. Another 15-day CGM option is the Stelo, which differs significantly from prescription-based CGMs. Stelo is designed for adults 18 years and older and is available without a prescription, making it more accessible to individuals who want to monitor

What are the most important steps for managing safe blood sugar levels during the holidays? To stay safe and maintain stable glucose levels, eat meals at regular times, maintain a steady sleep schedule, and take

your medications exactly as prescribed. Avoid skipping meals or overeating, as both can cause significant disruptions in blood glucose. Skipping meals may lead to low blood sugar for people taking insulin or sulfonylureas, while overeating can cause sharp spikes in glucose levels. Pay close attention to what you drink. Beverages can be a major source of hidden sugars and calories. Choosing water, sparkling water, or sugar-free drinks can make a substantial difference in blood glucose

threatening emergency called diabetes ketoacidosis. For low-glucose alarms, take fast-acting glucose (such as glucose tabs, 4-6 ounces of juice or regular soda, or a Gvoke HypoPen) to bring up your blood sugar. Should I share my CGM data with my provider? The collaborative relationship between patients and health care providers is crucial for effective diabetes management. Sharing your CGM data with your provider is essential to creating patientcentered treatment plans and tailored lifestyle interventions.

control. After a holiday meal, try not to sit or lie down for prolonged periods, as this can cause blood sugar to rise. Light movement after eating, such as a walk with a friend or family member, helps improve glucose stability and supports digestion. If you use a CGM, check your readings frequently and monitor how different foods, activities, and schedules affect your blood sugar to make adjustments and stay within a safe range.

Your HealtH and Wellness — with a focus on diabetes management

Empower your health Diabetes doesn’t have to hold you back Did you know that people with diabetes are two to four times more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke compared with those who don’t have diabetes — and at a younger age? It’s true. Diabetes is among the strongest risk factors for heart and vascular disease. It’s right up there with smoking and having high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Having diabetes can affect the way your heart works, and harm blood vessels. For example, the lining of the blood vessels may become thicker, which can impair blood flow. Many people have poor blood flow in their legs and feet, which can lead to neuropathy —numbness and weakness. Diabetes can damage other organs as well, including the kidneys. Diabetes and heart disease share many of the same risk factors, such as having high cholesterol, being overweight, not exercising and smoking. Diabetes-heart disease connection Most people with diabetes also have other risk factors for heart disease and stroke that they must manage. Strict control of things such as weight, not smoking and blood sugar is critical. If you have diabetes, it doesn’t mean

heart disease is bound to happen. In many cases, there are steps you can take to keep your diabetes in check and stay ahead of heart disease. But it’s not always easy. If you have or develop heart disease, then you will have to manage several conditions, which can seem daunting. Things you can change to be healthier — your weight, food choices and level of physical activity — are called “modifiable risk factors.” Understanding these factors and working to improve them can help you feel more in control of your health. Below are some tips for managing diabetes while staying heart healthy. Set clear goals for controlling your diabetes and keeping tabs on your health Work with your healthcare team to decide what lifestyle changes you can reasonably make, the appropriate medications, what your ideal level of blood blood glucose level should be, and how to keep your cholesterol and blood pressure within a healthy range. Ask questions if you don’t understand your health care provider’s suggestions for managing your diabetes or other heart risk factors. Your provider might want you to keep track of certain health measures at home; for example, by using home glucose

Be sure all of your health care providers are on the same page You probably see a number of specialists, including an endocrinologist, ophthalmologist and podiatrist, in addition to your primary care provider. Most folks living with diabetes have other health problems that need to be managed as well. Each provider may order blood work and other tests. Ask that copies of test results and notes from health visits be available to all of your providers so that everyone is on the same page. They should be aware of your conditions, treatments,

You and your health care provider should decide on your target A1C level; it may depend on your health conditions and age. A1C gives an estimate of your blood sugar over the past two to three months. Also, make sure you know what to do if your blood sugar is too high or too low.

Holiday strategies for loved ones with hearing loss

hile the holidays are a time filled with joy and anticipation, they can be a struggle for people with hearing loss. For them, it can be difficult to distinguish voices, hard to follow conversations, and stressful and lonely when others are enjoying holiday music and laughter. But it doesn’t have to be that way because there are things you can do to help your loved ones hear better and ease the tension of the hustle and bustle of family dinners and holiday parties. Below are some helpful tips to create that same joy you experience with your loved ones who suffer from hearing loss: Be Alert. Keep an eye out during dinners and parties. If you notice that your loved one is struggling to hear conversation, help them to “hear” what is going on by repeating what they seem to be missing. Or, in the interim, pull them aside quietly and have a chat to make sure they are okay and ask if there is anything you can do. Turn The Volume Down. A loud television or loud background music makes it even harder for a person with hearing loss to follow conversation. Be vigilant in recognizing this and turning down the volume or turning it off altogether. Don’t Keep The Lights Down. While dim lights can sometimes create a relaxing ambiance, it makes it hard for a person with hearing loss to read lips and see facial expressions. Turn the lights up for them. Seat Your Loved One At The Head Of The Table. When you seat someone with hearing loss at the head of the table, it becomes easier for them to see everyone around the table without struggling to

look around from voice to voice. Speak Clearly. Speak clearly and slowly and rephrase if needed. Do your best to project your voice without yelling. Also, don’t interrupt others while speaking, it just makes it more difficult for your loved ones with hearing loss to follow. Holiday time is also the perfect time to take note of those who don’t have hearing aids but are struggling to stay in the conversation. Once the parties and dinners are over, it’s a great time to have the discussion with them that it’s time for a hearing healthcare checkup. Ask them gently and encourage them to go see a hearing healthcare specialist.

from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and nonprofit 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 1-800-342-3736 or visit the Department`s website at www.dfs.ny.gov RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LEAVE YOUR HOME AT THIS TIME. You have the right to stay in your home during the foreclosure process. You are not required to leave your home unless and until your property is sold at auction pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure and sale. Regardless of whether you choose to remain in your home, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY and pay property taxes in accordance with state and local law. FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner`s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. § 1303 NOTICE 16-12-20* 157135 LEGAL NOTICE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF NASSAU ----------------------------X Index No.: 601057/2024 ELLIOT GALPERN, DAVID GALPERN, ARIEL STERN, AND MICHELLE ABRAMOV AS TRUSTEES OF THE LOUIS GALPERN IRREVOCABLE TRUST,

Point Lookout

One Amazing Home

Q. Stopping the pour was a good idea. Admixtures can make things worse, based on the following. Cold moisture, whether from tidal action, a high water table or air temperature, is always a concern. There are three important factors in concrete: water, air temperature and internal and external movement. Cool water expands. Cooler internal moisture can reduce the strength of the concrete, because it expands and sets molecules farther apart. That changes the reactions of the ingredients. A. Concrete is made up of sand, Portland cement — super-heated limestone that converts to calcium carbonate — and stones called aggregate. Setup is often thought of as drying, which is a misconception. Concrete setup is a chemical process of internal reactions, and those reactions give off heat. The reason that people standing in onte eeper fresh cement are wearing boots isn’t just to keep their ankles clean. Their rubber boots act as insulators, to keep them from direct skin contact and third-degree burns caused by highly alkaline calcium hydroxide in the cement and the heat developed during the pour. The heat is called the “heat of hydration.” That process is necessary to get the concrete to harden properly. Introducing too much cold slows the chemical process and weakens the concrete. It minimizes the ultimate strength, so internal expansion is the first issue. A wet condition from moisture condensation is the second problem, because when the air temperature drops, condensation increases in the adjacent ground and in the cement mixture, slowing the setup process and increasing the lack of ability to give off moisture and heat during the chemical reaction. Think of it like taking bread out of the oven too early. The bread will be dense and wet. And last, high alkalinity is increased by using “antifreeze” calcium carbonate, which causes reinforcing rods in the concrete mixture to corrode and continue to rust out, unseen, until there is very little left. The admixture chemical reaction to the reinforcing rods is interesting, because few people realize that rusting steel doesn’t first reduce; it expands, placing a lot of internal force on the concrete, causing cracking. Then the rods leach and reduce in size and strength, causing more concrete cracking. I don’t recommend the additive in your case. Good luck!

Editorial comment Editorials offer the opinions of the Herald. Editors write them, but they do not necessarily reflect the views of those writers. Rather, they are the institutional voice of the news organization. That is why they are unsigned. Herald editorial department heads meet regularly to plan the editorials. Independent reporting by our staff often helps inform our editorials. We might also speak with experts and advocates to gain their perspective before writing an editorial. We are proud to say that we have won many state awards for our editorial writing over the years. But in the end, it's sharing opinions that best reflect the views of you — our reader — that is most important to us.

Editorial cartoons are almost as old as newspapers themselves. They date back to 18th-century England, and are a staple of the modern American opinion section. Yet opinions here do not necessarily represent the opinions of the Herald or its staff. Dale Neseman, a syndicated cartoonist from the Buffalo area, creates a majority of the editorial cartoons seen in these pages.

only to break the law but also to tear at the moral fabric that holds communities together. Violence corrodes democracy itself. When citizens and leaders live under constant threat, they retreat from public engagement. Ordinary people withdraw from activism. Elected officials alter decisions out of fear for their families’ safety. Journalists censor themselves to avoid becoming targets. These chilling effects shrink the civic space, and create an atmosphere of suspicion and anger. The way forward requires a cultural shift that emphasizes respect, empathy and resilience even in the face of profound disagreements. Everyone from students to business executives to politicians to the media should refuse to share disinformation, avoid demonizing those with whom we have differing opinions and welcome calm, reasoned argument that can change minds more effectively than threats ever could. Passionate debate is fine. Disagreement is natural in a diverse society, and progress often emerges from that vigorous discussion. In stark contrast, every time a political leader is targeted, every time a citizen is attacked for his or her beliefs, the American experiment itself is weakened. At this point in our country’s history, the stakes could not be higher. We must choose civility over cruelty, and persuasion over violence.

letters Blakeman has a narrow definition of ‘safe’ To the Editor: Re County Executive Bruce Blakeman’s op-ed last week, “Protecting our kids and keeping Nassau County safe”: Blakeman’s myopia ought not be ours. Though the Nassau County Police Department is top-notch in both competence and compensation, “safety” is a far broader sentiment than armed personnel. With the most foreclosures in the metropolitan region, Nassau is not a safe place for those who can’t keep up with the Joneses. Our growing population of residents dependent on food bank services, absentee landlords and gig work surely appreciate our police, but don’t feel safe from economic predation. And neither drivers nor pedestrians are especially safe in Nassau, and the roadways themselves would win no awards. Our famed police are no comfort to anyone viewed through ICE-eyes as dusky, dusty or dawdling. We are not yet saved from Nassau’s dual-action dysfunctional property-tax regime, its failed bus patrol tax, its Nassau University Medical Center mess nor wasteful

her husband, Mark Hortman. In a separate incident, Minnesota State Sen. John Hoffman, also a Democrat, and his wife were wounded, allegedly by the same gunman. On Sept. 10, one day before our national commemoration of the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, the assassination of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk shook the nation. All of these acts, though politically motivated in different ways, shared a tragic theme: a rejection of reasoned debate in favor of violence. The perpetrators’ actions defied both justice and ethics. Political leaders, regardless of party, must unequivocally denounce violence not only when it is directed at their allies, but also when it strikes their adversaries. The answers to bitter disagreements can be found instead in the very foundation of American law: our Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech, association and petition. These rights were spelled out so that individuals and groups could argue, persuade and organize without fear of reprisal. Violence, by contrast, seeks to silence opponents permanently. It is not an expression of political conviction but rather a repudiation of it — an attempt to destroy debate rather than contribute to it. That is why every civilized society criminalizes assault, murder and terrorism. To resort to such methods is not

s most Long Islanders know, affordability, at its heart, is about what families experience every day. It’s a child starting the school day with a full stomach, a parent relieved of crushing child care costs, a college student able to pursue a career without sinking into debt. This is the kind of state New Yorkers deserve, one where families can live with dignity and plan with confidence. That’s why I have worked to put affordability at the center of my priorities. sieLa As the academic year begins, I’m BYnoe reminded of the past, when parents couldn’t afford to provide lunch or give their children lunch money each day. No parent should have to carry that stress, and no child should sit in class hungry. Alongside my colleagues in the Senate, I fought to secure $340 million in the state budget to make breakfast and lunch free for every student in New York, regardless of their family’s income, so all

young scholars can eat with dignity. Affordability also means giving young children the strongest possible start without risking the family’s financial security. That’s why I voted in favor of $1.2 billion in universal pre-kindergarten funding to continue our efforts to prepare children for their education and nurture their social, emotional and academic skills. I also collaborated with my fellow senators for the allocation of $112 million for afterschool programs, which bolster academic programming and offer enrichment opportunities. This saves families thousands on child care costs, while building the foundation children need to thrive. In that same vein, I fought for new and increased aid to school districts across Senate District 6 totaling $53.2 million, minimizing the need to raise residents’ property taxes. These funds help cover academic activities, transportation, supportive services and more, making sure that all students have the tools they need to succeed. Worries about affordability also show up in everyday moments like getting

ven preparing children for the return to school can be a source of major worry.

Honoring veterans through service and support To the Editor: On Sept. 12, the day after 9/11, the National Day of Service and Remembrance, PSEG Long Island, National Grid and the nonprofit General Needs came together to host the first-ever Veteran Warm Up event, serving more than 100 local veterans. At this d r ive - t h ro u g h eve n t , ve t e r a n s received bedding, pillows, heaters, LED light bulbs and information about financial and energy-efficiency programs designed to help them keep warm when the weather gets colder. Why would PSEG Long Island step into this role? The answer is simple: because veterans are our neighbors, and many are among the most vulnerable members of our communities. Long Island is home to one of the massaPequa

largest populations of veterans in the country, and too many of them face challenges related to housing, health and employment. At PSEG Long Island, we believe our responsibility goes beyond keeping the lights on — we have a duty to support the wellbeing of the communities we serve. That’s why, year after year, our employee-volunteers give their time, energy and compassion at events that provide direct aid to veterans and other neighbors in need. Collaborating with organizations like General Needs amplifies that impact, ensuring that resources reach those who need them most. This commitment to community is an extension of our mission: to provide safe, reliable energy while also strengthening the fabric of the neighborhoods we call home. By supporting veterans, we honor their service and sacrifices while building a culture of understanding and respect that benefits us all. The Veteran Warm Up event is just one example of how PSEG Long Island strives to live out its values of safety, security and service. We do this because it’s the right thing to do — for our veterans and for our communities. DAVID LYONS Interim president and chief operating officer, PSEG Long Island

children ready for the return to school. This summer I worked with a variety of community partners and stakeholders to offer backpack giveaway events throughout the district. At one such event, in partnership with Nassau County Legislator Olena Nicks and North Hempstead Councilman Robert Troiano, along with the Nassau County Police Benevolent Association, we gave away more than 800 backpacks filled with school supplies to students from the district. These initiatives, aimed at easing the financial burden on parents as the academic year begins, do more than help families prepare. They also send a message that members of our community are willing to extend a helping hand to one another. The need for affordable education doesn’t end in childhood, which is why my fellow senators and I invested $47 million statewide to make community college free for students ages 25 to 55 who are pursuing high-demand careers such as teaching, engineering and nursing. Affordability and sustainability can and should go hand in hand. The rising

cost of water and its finite existence led me to sponsor Senate Bill S.4988, and secure $150,000 in the state budget to launch a rebate program in Nassau and Suffolk counties for families who install smart-irrigation devices. These systems save water, reduce bills and help protect the environment that we’ll pass on to the next generation. When it comes to health care, the high cost of prescription drugs has put necessary medications out of reach for too many New Yorkers. To address this concern, the Senate passed the New York Affordable Drug Manufacturing Act, offering a practical solution by empowering the state to partner in the production of generic drugs specifically to drive down prices. This bill targets highcost and at-risk medications like insulin, ensuring affordability and availability. Affordability can’t simply be a talking point. It must be embodied in legislation and budget allocations. Whether it’s fighting for free meals, expanding pre-K, making college accessible or supporting families with basic school supplies, I will continue to advocate for programming and policies that make life more affordable for everyone.

BALDWIN HERALD — September 18, 2025

Affordability can’t just be a talking point

We publish three columns in each edition of the Herald every week. Columns represent the views of the writers, not of the Herald. Each writer works independently and chooses his or her own subjects. Among our regular contributors are former U.S. Rep. Peter King, former State Assemblyman Jerry Kremer and the Nassau Herald’s former executive editor, Randi Kreiss. We also feature columns by a wide variety of elected leaders — local, county, state and federal — on a rotating basis. And we regularly invite guest columnists who are not involved in politics — including members of our editorial staff — to offer their views.

Special features The op-ed, or opposite the editorial, page features a weekly Framework photo, which is chosen by our photo editor, Tim Baker. The Framework offers a creative, at times humorous outlet for our photography staff. In this spot, we also publish photos sent to us by readers featuring them on vacation, reading the Herald at international landmarks. We call it Herald Around the World. At times, a correction might appear on the op-ed page. We strive each week for the highest standards of accuracy and accountability. When we make mistakes in our reporting, we believe we must own up to them and correct the record.

Siela Bynoe represents the 6th State Senate District.

We welcome your letters to the editor, and publish most that we receive. We believe these letters are critically important, because they reflect the shared voices of the communities that we cover. Letters should be 250 to 300 words in length. Each letter must include an address and phone number. Our editors call all letter writers to confirm the authenticity of letters before publication. We edit letters for length, grammar, spelling and foul language. We do not censor viewpoints. If we believe a letter requires major revisions, we will send it back to the writer and ask that he or she change it so that meaning and intent are not lost. Readers can send letters to the editors of their hometown newspapers, or to execeditor@liherald.com. They can be sent by email (preferred), fax or mail. All contact information is listed on the masthead and on our website, LIHerald.com.
