We learned we’re stronger together

Fourteen-year-old Baldwinite Jahzara Emeli recently made it to Humble, Texas, for the track Junior Olympics, but because of a hamstring strain, she was unable to compete. Now in physical therapy, Emeli reflected on her fledgling track career and her future plans. Running for the Baldwin Police Athletic League for three years, Emeli won every

race except one, starting her career as a track superstar. In 2020 she was scouted by the V-Tesse Track Club of Long Island, a nonprofit that aims “to expose athletes to top level competition, provide youngsters with an opportunity to improve their performance in track and field,” along with teammates Sariah Doresca and Jillian Rickford. The team made news this March when Doresca finished fourth in the nation in the 60-meter dash at the Adidas

Indoor Nationals in Virginia Beach, with a time of 8.12 seconds. Emeli came in fifth in the 200-meter dash, in 26.43 seconds. Two other team members, Rickford and Anayah Henry, propelled the squad to second in the nation for a middle school 4x200-meter relay, with a time of 1 minute, 46 seconds. Only beginning to break records, the team finished out the day in Virginia Beach by breaking the 13-to-14 USA Continued on page 14

The pandemic stretched us to our limits, but we never broke. We have been with you throughout, and our pledge is to remain with you until all of us return to normal life — or whatever our lives will be in the new normal. Producing the news, however, is a costly endeavor. We must pay the salaries of reporters, editors, photographers, g raphic artists, a dve r t i s i n g a c count executives, press operators, drivers and managers. Now, more than ever, we are relying on you, our readers, to suppor t us, as w e h av e s u p ported you through this crisis. Please consider taking an annual subscription to the Herald.

The coronavirus pandemic sw e p t a c r o s s t h e U n i t e d States, including Baldwin, like a wildfire over the past 18 months, killing more than 600,000 of our fellow Americans. We mour n each and every one of these precious lives taken too soon. In recent months, however, we have begun to emerge from this nationwide catastrophe, and because of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, we are seeing a glimmer of hope. Though the Covid-19 infection and death rates h ave t i c ke d u p recently, we are far better off than we were one year ago. We also learned an important lesson during this crisis: We are stronger together. Throughout the pandemic, all of us at the Herald have strived to report the news of the day swiftly and accurately. Suddenly last spring, we were no longer a weekly newspaper. We were a daily, publishing the news online at liherald. com and in our newsletter. Hundreds of thousands of people a month came to our website for the latest news.

OBITUARIES

By Matt HugHs baldwineditor@liherald.com

Father of one and coach of over a decade’s worth of Baldwin athletes, Anthony Bolden, 40, passed away on Sept. 7th due to complications with pulmonary fibrosis. He developed this condition in May after being treated with chemotherapy for testicular cancer that was diagnosed in January 2021. He was fighting for his life in the hospital in need of a lung transplant since May and despite these challeng es, he s t aye d s t r o n g until the very end. Although Bolden has passed on, he leaves behind toM Catapano a lasting legacy of putting hardfriend work, perseverance and love in everything he did in life. He will be forever missed by the Baldwin High School community who consider him family. Born on May 18, 1981 in Lynchburg, Virginia, Anthony Bolden’s family worked in the military, causing him to move around several times when he was young. Prior to moving to Baldwin, Bolden lived in Fort Sill, Oklahoma and then in Germany. At the age of 15, the Bolden family moved to the Freeport/Baldwin area where Anthony stayed for his high school years. Upon moving to Long Island, Bolden was enrolled in Baldwin High School where he quickly became a star football player for the school as well as played for the varsity basketball team. He played throughout his four years at the school and was a valuable prospect for recruitment in the college football scene, receiving multiple scholarships to power 5 schools. However, during one of the last games in his senior year at Baldwin High School, he severely injured his knee after which the colleges rescinded their scholarships offers. After graduating from Baldwin High School in 2000, Bolden attended Nassau community college where he also played football after he received surgery on his knee. Bolden did not let his injury discourage him. Spending two years at Nassau community college and on their team, Bolden was again a favorable prospect in the college football scene. He accepted a football scholarship at Temple University in Philadelphia where he received a Bachelor of Science in Information Management and Technology upon graduating in 2005. From college, Bolden was recruited into the semi-professional football league where he played for several years in the Arena 2 league on the Tulsa Golden Hurricane in Las Vegas, then the Tulsa Talons in Oklahoma. Even while playing on these teams, Bolden was always a Bald-

olden was more than a best friend, he was a brother.

Anthony was highly regarded for his strength and versatility as a player. Ordinarily, Bolden played on the offensive and defensive lines for his team but frequently, he was also put in as a tight end and scored several touchdowns for his teams over the years. Bolden began coaching in Baldwin in 2010 during the off seasons in his semiprofessional football career. Ten years after his graduation, Bolden was back at Baldwin High and coaching for the girls’ basketball team. He was accompanied by his best friends Ed Ramirez, Athletic Director at Baldwin High, and Tom Catapano, Head coach of the girls’ basketball team. The three of them were fun-loving and were not afraid to take it out in the form of pranks against one another. Ramirez recalls a prank he and Bolden pulled on Catapano, who sometimes left his things around the locker room. Bolden and Ramirez felt that it would be funny to take some of Catapano’s things that were laying around the locker room at the beginning of the semester without saying anything. These items included a nice watch and pair of shoes along with a couple other articles of clothing. According to Ramirez, Catapano eventually chalked these things up to missing. When Bolden and Ramirez gave him a Christmas gift at the end of that semester, he was surprised to find his gift contained all the items that had gone “missing” at the beginning of the semester. A few years into coaching, Bolden retired from football and was coaching at Nassau community college for their football team, where he helped lead them to a championship. In 2014, Anthony and his partner Cristina Medina gave birth to their son Anthony Eric Jr. Bolden. From then on,

Anthony was widely regarded as a great father and role model to his son. Soft spoken, dedicated, humble, selfless, genuine, loving, easy going and “salt of the earth” are qualities many of the people in his life use to describe him. He began to work with the Baldwin High School Junior Varsity football team in 2016, first as assistant coach, then head coach. In 2021, he began coaching the Varsity team. He had been volunteering with the Varsity team prior to 2016 as well. Bolden also began coaching Baldwin middle school boys’ track and field in 2017. It was in 2018 though that the coaching duo of Catapano and Bolden led the Baldwin High School Girls Varsity basketball team all the way to the Federation Championship. After a tough fight and close victory over Lutheran High, Baldwin High advanced to the finals of the Federation Championship. Though the victory was

sweet, Bolden’s celebration only lasted on the court after the game before he immediately went back to his hotel room to review tapes and start preparing for their final opponents. The Baldwin High girls’ varsity basketball team went on to win the Federation championship by nine over Christ the King High School, the number one ranked team in the nation with a 35 and zero record prior to the game. This came off the heels of the team winning the state championships in 2017 and 2018, being the first team to ever win two years in a row. At the end of the season, the Baldwin High girls’ basketball team was ranked the 4th best high school team in the nation out of 18 thousand high school teams. Outside of sports, Bolden was also a skilled educator who worked with at-risk middle school students and was working toward becoming a full-time teacher.

Serving The Community For Over 25 Years

Laura Marino of Baldwin recently took her talents to Oyster Bay for the Runner’s Edge TOBAY Triathlon and TriRelay presented by Engel Burman where she placed first in the female 45-49 age group. On an overcast morning with periods of rain, more than 350 competitors tested their strength and endurance on the Long Island course, which was managed by the Greater Long Island Road Running Club. The competition included a half-mile swim in Oyster Bay Harbor, a 12.3K hilly bike ride through Oyster Bay and Oyster Bay Cove, and a 5K run past Mill Neck and Brookville. Marino, 45, completed the triathlon in 1:16:58, earning a trophy in the Female 45-49 age group, which consisted of 10 total athletes. “We were thrilled to help sponsor this year’s TOBAY Triathlon and Tri-Relay and support the greater athletic community,” said Scott Burman, Principal at Engel Burman Group and President of EB Construction, a leading Long Island real estate development company. “Inspired is an understatement for how it felt to watch hundreds of individuals cross the finish line and we look forward to next year’s event.” Established in 1997, The Engel Burman Group is a Long Island, NY-based full-service, privately-owned real estate firm that has developed more than 10 million square feet of commercial and residential property throughout the Greater New York metropolitan area. EBG is the largest owner, developer and manager of senior housing in New York State operating 18 of The Bristal Assisted Living Communities as well as more than 2,500 units for those aged 55 and older. “All of us at Runner’s Edge would like to send a big congratulations to Laura Marino on her first-place finish in the

Town of Hempstead receives its second credit rating boost in less than a year Wall Street credit agency Standard & Poor’s has boosted the Town of Hempstead’s credit rating from AA- to AA, among the highest levels available, and praised America’s largest township for “strong” financial management and “conservative budgeting.” In addition, Standard & Poor’s has designated the Town of Hempstead with a stable outlook. Under the leadership of a bipartisan Hempstead Town Board, the town has now been awarded two credit rating upgrades from two Wall Street credit rating agencies in a span of 10 months – Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s. In December of 2020, Moody’s awarded the Town of Hempstead with a credit rating upgrade from Aa2 to Aa1. The superior rating allows for reduced costs related to future governmental borrowing as well as the refinancing of debt – significant savings that translate to a more manageable tax burden for township residents. The credit ratings boosts come on the heels of a Town of Hempstead tax freeze for fiscal year 2021 to be followed by a tax cut in the Supervisor’s proposed 2022 budget.

It only took one game for Baldwin girls’ soccer to equal its point total from a rough spring season. The combination of a short roster due to Covid and an unforgiving schedule resulted in zero wins and a tie over a dozen games, but coach Lee Rogers is already seeing promise despite only five returnees. The Lady Bruins earned a 1-1 tie with Hicksville in the Conference AA-2 opener on Sept. 10 as a trio of newcomers starred. Eighth-grade goalkeeper Dee Ikechukwu made 11 saves in her varsity debut, including a few from point-blank range in the closing stages, and sophomore Renelle Grannum scored off an assist from freshman Annabelle Lopez. “I was very pleased,” Rogers said. “I knew Hicksville would be a difficult opponent and had the top returning goal scorer in the conference. We scored in the 22nd minute and they got even right before the half. It’s definitely a performance we can build on.” One cloud hanging over the opener was the potential long-term loss of Grannum to a knee injury suffered in the second half. She was elevated to the varsity roster in the spring after the JV campaign ended and features game-altering speed. “We’re waiting to hear how long she could be out and hoping for the best,” Rogers said. “She’s so fast and scored on a beautiful breakaway against Hicksville.” Olivia Hoffmann notched the equalizer for the Comets, who went 8-1 last season behind leading scorer Julia DeTurris. Rogers said a key part of Baldwin’s gameplan was to shadow DeTurris with sophomore Anna Wehr, who he said did a tremendous job. “We might have Anna move to forward if Renelle is out, but we will also utilize her to mark a top opponent,” Rogers said of Wehr, who scored twice last Friday in a 5-0 win over Uniondale. “She’s strong and quick. We had her follow DeTurris around the whole game and it paid off.” Lopez is another young forward with talent, the coach noted. “Annabelle has excellent foot skills and we’re trying to build up her confidence because she’s capable of taking on opponents one-on-

sophomore anna wehr scored a pair of goals last Friday as Baldwin defeated visiting Uniondale, 5-0. one,” he said. “She made a great pass on our first goal of the season.” Baldwin (1-0-1) struggled to put the ball in the net throughout the spring, but Rogers said competing in Conference AA-2 always requires a quality keeper nonetheless. He coached Ikechukwu for one game at the middle school level and was immediately impressed with her positioning and awareness. “She plays club soccer and has great all-around fundamentals,” he said. “We’re working on building her communication with the defense during practice and each game she’ll get better.”

Senior captains Rubi Perez and Roscary Munoz lead the defense, which includes junior Samantha Torres at right fullback and freshman Averi Thomas on the left. Thomas could see some time at midfield, where senior captains Taylor and Jessica Darcy are team leaders in their third varsity campaigns. The lineup was bolstered by the return of seniors Stephanie and Melanie Hernandez, who returned to the district following a brief move out-of-state, Rogers said. “We have some jelling to do, but it’s a great bunch of girls,” Rogers said.

Town begins pothole-patrol initiative

BALDWIN HERALD — September 23, 2021

By Matt HugHs baldwineditor@liherald.com

The Town of Hempstead began its “pothole patrol” in August, an on-call service that fills potholes on roads within the town. Crews were trained over the summer by the Highway Department to operate two “potholebuster” vehicles. In 2018, when the town marked its 50,000th pothole repair, Alan Jasper described the town’s method as “cut and paste,” with a small, square segment of the street being cut out and filled in with new pavement. He said this is a more efficient method than the former repair process, which often resulted in potholes reforming. The town’s new pothole-filling trucks, the BergKamp FP5 Flameless All-in-Ones, fill potholes quicker, keep the asphalt constantly heated through electric heating and are “able to easily pour out asphalt to continuously fill potholes.” Including the drive, crews operating the vehicles consist of three to four workers. Highway Department officials said they are already seeing an increase in the speed of pothole repairs. Hempstead purchased the vehicles through the Highway Department at a reduced price after careful consideration whether the trucks would be benefit the town. Originally valued at $350,000 per truck, the town purchased the two vehicles at the price of $190,060, or $95,030 each. The money to make this purchase came from the Highway Department’s vehicle acquisition budget, according to town officials. At the start of this initiative in August, the pothole patrol was receiving about 15 calls per day, but that figure recently dropped to five. Hempstead officials did not comment on the average time it takes to fill a pothole from call to filled pothole; however, in a statement from

Courtesy Bergkamp Inc.

tHe town of Hempstead purchased the vehicles through the Highway Department at a reduced price of $95,030 each to fill 1,000 potholes a day. March 2021, town officials said the service is filling 1,000 potholes per day. “By acquiring these new vehicles, the Town of Hempstead is doubling down on our commitment toward improving and maintaining roadway infrastructure,” Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin said. “Be on the lookout for the Town of Hempstead’s pothole

buster coming to a neighborhood near you.” Pothole busters service all of the Town of Hempstead, excluding roads owned by village, county and state municipalities. The pothole patrol can be reached at (516) 812-3310, and calls are added to a list before a schedule is made, depending on the location and severity of the potholes.

Students remembering Anthony Bolden

—Nicolette

Manella, class of 2019 C o a ch Bolden was fir m when needed to be but he had Courtesy Ed Ramirez an incredible sense of Anthony Bolden humor. He (1981-2021) could and definitely did not shy away from teasing players and Coach Cat. His smile and laughter will be missed tremendously. —Elena Randolph, class of 2020 I was blessed to have Anthony Bolden as a coach/mentor. He was so passionate in athletics, and he loved and was always extremely supportive of all his Baldwin athletes. The Baldwin gym will never be

the same but his vibrant spirit will live on forever. —Amber Harrison, class of 2012 Coach Bolden made up one half of the greatest coaching duo in my life. He was more than a coach, he was family. The void can never be filled. I am so grateful to have had the bond growth, and memories with coach Bolden lasting all these years beyond high school. Words cannot express the eternal love that radiates from the love he has given to us. —Alex Hampton, Class of 2012 The team was playing in the state championships at the time, and coach Bolden called for us for a meeting. We sat down in one of the meeting rooms in the hotel and waited. Ten minutes later, Bolden and Cat came running through dressed up as some of the girls, started acting out things we did and acted how we acted. They wanted us to have a good laugh before playing this game and for us to remember to just have fun with it. —Jenna Annecchiarico, class of 2018 I am so grateful that I was able to have a coach like Bolden. He has been coaching me all my life and has taught me so many lessons as a player. Coach Bolden always taught me to be a competitor, in sports and in life. I will miss him so much. It’s

heartbreaking that he isn’t going to be here anymore, but I know that he will always be watching over our Bruin family. —Kaia Harrison, class of 2019 Bolden has always been the type of person who pushes you past your limits, but in a way that fits for you. He never compared any of his players to anyone else and always treated us like family. You always need someone like Bolden in your corner. He would want me to continue to live out my dream, so that is what I am going to do with him in the forefront of my mind every single game. —Donnetta Johnson, class of 2018 My fondest memory was when one night we just finished practice around 8:30pm. I wanted to stay after to work on my free throws, and I wasn’t going to leave until I made 10 in a row. I must have hit 8 and missed the 9th shot at least three times and missed on the 10th twice. With every miss I got frustrated, but Coach Bolden remained calm and continued encouraging me that I could do it. I finally got 10 in a row and he was so happy for me. —Montia Moon, class of 2017 Compiled by Matt Hughs.

The best thing about Bolden is what he stood for. Even after graduating, he would reach out for every birthday, holiday, and just always to keep in touch. He taught me so much about the game of basketball since middle school when he star ted coaching me.

Middle-schooler competed at Baldwin High ContinuEd from front pagE Track and Field Long Island record. Together, the team started the rigorous process of trying out for the Baldwin High School track team as middle schoolers. This included physicals, medical exams and Athletic Director Ed Ramírez’s OK. The team completed all requirements and was able to join, only for their season to be cut short by the initial outbreak of Covid-19 in March 2020. Running for the high school earlier in the year, Emeli said she “won every single 200 and 400 race, except twice coming in second to seniors.” She also won all four 4x100 relays to practice for division, sectional and county competitions. Once at division, Emeli won every 200, 400 and 4x100, before heading to sectionals, where she also won. Then a week before counties, she sustained a hamstring injury and was unable to compete that day. Still, Emeli went to Humble, Texas to the Junior Olympic Games to compete. In Humble, she began to run, but she had that familiar feeling of pain, and she was unable to compete, returning home to Baldwin for physical therapy. Emeli did not get the gold, but still received numerous accolades from Baldwin Middle School. Being named the Track and Field MVP for the 2020-21 year and receiving the President’s

david orwasher, Chief development officer for Breslin Realty, standing, discussed how site plans have been filed with the Town of Hempstead Building Department for review for a 215-unit, mixed-use development on Grand Avenue and Sunrise Highway in a Chamber of Commerce meeting at Novi on Sept. 15.

Developer filed plans for architectural review By Cristina arroyo rodriguez carroyo@liherald.com

At the Sept. 15 Baldwin Chamber of Commerce meeting, a dozen business owners and residents gathered at Novi restaurant to hear David Orwasher, chief development officer for Breslin Realty, a commercial development firm, discuss site plans for a 215-unit, mixed-use development that the firm has proposed for Grand Avenue and Sunrise Highway. The company has filed the plans with the Town of Hempstead Building Department for review. The structure, if approved, would measure four and a half stories tall.

Orwasher said Long Island has relatively few rental units that are affordable for empty nesters on fixed incomes and young professionals starting their careers. They “may want to stay on Long Island but can’t find affordable housing,” he said. Units would include studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments starting at $1,800 a month, with 10 percent of units earmarked for workforce housing. “We aren’t looking to place a burden on a school district,” Orwasher said. “What we’re looking to do is stop the migration outside of Long Island for lack of ” housing. The original plans for this $95 million

HERALD Community Newspapers liherald.com

Q. We want to re-insulate our house before winter while we renovate, and aren’t sure about which type to use. The costs seem to be very different between fiberglass and foam. What would you suggest we use, and why? Are there any other less costly choices? A. Insulation, of all building materials, has the highest return on investment when you consider the installation and material cost compared with the savings over the rest of the life of the building. Every second of every day, your building or home is losing temperature to the outside environment, heating up in the summer and cooling onte eeper down in the winter, at constant expense, so resisting that loss of temperature and money should be a high priority in the design and selection of materials. Choose the best material and have it installed correctly.

Ask The Architect

The best choice is closed-cell foam, which has the highest return on investment and the highest initial cost but is worth every penny. Closed-cell foam is a complete cavity-filling barrier with the highest resistance to temperature changes. But it also does what other insulators cannot: It is a vapor retarder and resister.

Realtors are encouraged to send briefs and photographs to: Herald Homes, 2 Endo Blvd.., Garden City, NY 11530.

The lowdown on insulation

1128591

September 23, 2021 — HERALD

The two biggest problems buildings face are water and movement, and closed-cell foam is an excellent choice to resist both, because it adds rigidity to the walls and roof while slowing or stopping moisture. Open-cell foam is less costly, but can collect and hold moisture like a sponge does. Fiberglass not only does not expand to completely fill the floor, wall and roof cavities, it also collapses when wet. The only place I would use fiberglass, given a financial choice not to, would be in buildings that need to be stripped due to regular flooding, since foam would be hard to remove in a repair or remediation. With fiberglass insulation you must leave an air space to the outside of the insulation so that air can freely flow to carry moisture away, a sure sign that the cavities continuously have humidity, just like the outside air. From a cost perspective, you can look at the issue two different ways. Do you want to save money in one day and pay more the rest of the building’s life, or do you want to make the investment to save the money on rising utility costs for the rest of your life in the building? I reduced the insulation in an energy analysis for a home in the spring, when the client got a quote of $16,000 for closed-cell foam. We are now required to do formal energy analysis on each project, so working the numbers and using some creative changes with more resistive window and door ratings, which adds some cost, we were able to use closed-cell foam and save the owner around $8,000. In 10 to 12 years, all those savings will begin to reverse themselves as utility prices rise and continuous temperature is lost. Good luck! © 2021 Monte Leeper Readers are encouraged to send questions to yourhousedr@aol.com, with “Herald question” in the subject line, or to Herald Homes, 2 Endo Blvd., Garden City, NY 11530, Attn: Monte Leeper, architect.

n New York state, over 5,000 people hold titles such as mayor, supervisor, sheriff, chief of police and others, and these office holders are responsible for the good and welfare of their citizens. Other than New York City’s mayor, none are as powerful as the state’s 62 county executives. While some have small constituent bases, the downstate county executives have responsibilities with larger populations than several other states. While the public is largely unfamiliar with the role of county JERRY executives, in areas such as NasKREMER sau, Suffolk and Westchester counties, being a county executive is a very big deal. The current Nassau County executive, Laura Curran, is responsible for nearly 1.4 million residents. Her proposed 2022 budget is $3.3 billion. In her daily job, she supervises thousands of public employees, including one of the largest police departments in the state. In addition, she must deal with the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic

and a host of other municipal headaches. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone is charged with taking care of the needs of over 1.5 million residents in a territory that, combined with Nassau, has a population larger than 37 states. Like Curran, Bellone deals with the challenges of monitoring a large county workforce and a major police department, and overseeing dozens of agencies that provide critical services to Suffolk residents. With their wide-ranging experience, you’d think that county executives like Curran and Bellone would be on a fast track to higher political office. A look at the state’s political history, however, shows that no county executive has ever been able to successfully use his government experience as a springboard to the job of governor, attorney general or state comptroller. A number have tried, with no success. In 1968, Nassau County Executive Eugene Nickerson ran in the primary for the U.S. Senate, but lost that contest. Current U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi ran in a primary for governor against then Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, but failed. Political observers agree that if the late Nassau County

executive Tom Gulotta had run for governor against the late Mario Cuomo, he might have been elected. Instead, Gulotta yielded to State Sen. George Pataki, who beat the incumbent governor. Former executives in Westchester County have had mixed results in the quest for higher office. Al DelBello won a Democratic primary for lieutenant governor and served under Cuomo, who gave him few if any responsibilities during his four years in the job. DelBello was a bright and highly capable executive, but after his first statewide role he did not seek any other office. Republican Rob Astorino has run for governor a number of times with no success. Bellone is term-limited, and after this year he will be out of office. Curran is seeking her second term as county executive, and is an odds-on favorite because of her many successes and her strong administrative talents. She has run her office in a nonpartisan manner, and has the respect of Nassau County’s business and political communities. The question that Bellone currently faces, and that Curran will face, is what opportunities there will be for

he future looks bright for Nassau’s Laura Curran and Suffolk’s Steve Bellone.

them when they finish their terms. In 2022 there will be statewide contests for the three major offices. Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, who has won all of his races by staggering numbers, is expected to coast to victory. Attorney General Letitia James may decide to challenge Gov. Kathy Hochul, which would leave an opening for an aspiring attorney. Neither Bellone nor Curran is a lawyer, so that eliminates that opportunity. So what’s next for these two Long Island rising political stars? Both are young and highly capable. It will take some time for there to be a major opening at the state or federal level, but it will come. Once upon a time, it was considered political heresy if one Democrat challenged another, but that’s now considered old thinking, and opportunities that no one ever thought about may surface. For now, the chiefs of both suburban Long Island counties will have to play the waiting game. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

Feel-good, do-good work: Here’s the plan

our teenager sets aside his phone, his iPad, his computer, his tricked-out sneakers, her makeup palette, her micro shorts, his ratty T-shirt, her addiction to Instagram, his obsession with TikTok, and they leave home for some weeks or months to trim trees, cut back brush, dig ditches, install solar panels, and otherwise work toward mitigating the devastating effects of climate change. They join a corps of similarly unprepared, illequipped teens and they get paid RANDI minimum wage to KREISS do their bit to keep the earth spinning. Just days after becoming president, Joe Biden signed an executive order providing for establishment of such a group — a Civilian Climate Corps. This would be the first-ever government-led initiative to put large numbers of young people to work fighting climate change. Democrats have expressed support for the idea, which is now incorporated in the $3.5 trillion spending bill bumping its way through Congress. Specifically, the CCC would “aim to conserve and restore public lands and

waters, bolster community resilience, increase reforestation, increase carbon sequestration in the agricultural sector, protect biodiversity, improve access to recreation, and address the changing climate . . . “. . . Projects could range from wetland restoration in Florida’s Everglades to building parks or installing solar panels in urban areas. Corps members would be paid minimum wage, receive health care benefits and possibly school credit for their service. Would parents get behind this idea? It makes sense that hard work could be a great benefit to our children. This generation of teenagers has survived pandemic shutdowns and isolation; a public-works experience could help them become more independent and resilient and educated in basic life skills. The idea would be to merge large cross-sections of teenagers from rural areas, urban zones and suburban communities and offer an opportunity for a rich social and cultural experience along with the physical work. The idea isn’t new. More than 80 years ago, my uncle joined the first CCC launched by FDR to put young men to work during the Great Depression. It was called the Civilian Conservation Corps,

and my uncle left Brooklyn to work somewhere out West for a summer clearing brush. I wish I had more details, but all I know is that as an old man, he recalled the experience as one of the best times of his life. He got paid, he got fed, he had a nifty uniform and he met people he never would have met in Brooklyn in 1934. The CCC operated from 1933 to 1942. The organization was semi-military, and some political leaders at the time urged increased military training as the drum beat of war in Europe was getting louder. Many of the young men in the program, which employed millions, became the fighting force for America in World War II. My uncle joined the Navy at 17 and served on a minesweeper. The new CCC has more modest goals, hoping to employ hundreds of thousands rather than millions, and it would be diverse in every respect, in contrast to FDR’s CCC, which was strictly segregated. According to a story in The Washington Post, the Depression-era CCC was more popular than any of FDR’s other New Deal plans, earning the respect of the president’s foes as well as his supporters. It is thought that FDR, who conceived of the program, got the idea from Har-

utting young people to work fighting climate change would be a new New Deal.

vard philosopher and writer William James. “If now there were instead of military conscription a conscription of the whole youthful population to form for a certain number of years a part of the army enlisted against Nature,” James once observed, “the injustice would tend to be evened out, and numerous other goods to the commonwealth would follow. Our gilded youth [would be] drafted off according to their choice [of work assignments] to get the childishness knocked out of them, and to come back into society with healthier sympathies and soberer ideas.” Even as a state legislator, FDR boosted conservation efforts. His CCC was a perfect plan to address widespread national unemployment in the 1930s. In his first inaugural address, he said, “I propose to create a Civilian Conservation Corps to be used in simple work, not interfering with normal employment, and confining itself to forestry, the prevention of soil erosion, flood control and similar projects.” Eighty-eight years later, it is still a winning plan. But it requires a zeal for hard work and an idealism that fueled other do-good programs like the Peace Corps. I hope we, as a society, still have the right stuff. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss.

Election season is upon us once again — vote!

ach election season, we at the Herald Community Newspapers invite political candidates to our Garden City office for an hourlong meeting to hear their ideas and views before deciding whom we will endorse. This year will be no different. We will not allow the pandemic to interfere with one of a newspaper’s solemn responsibilities — offering our take on which candidates we believe are best prepared to represent the people. In the coming weeks, we will be conducting endorsement interviews for county, town and city elections. We will base our decisions on extensive research, including those interviews with representatives of our Editorial Board. The process of interviewing candidates takes a month. At times an endorsement call is an easy one, while at others we agonize over the decision. We take the process very seriously, considering each candidate’s personal and professional background, commitment to doing good for people and positions on key issues when deciding on our endorsements. Political experience is a plus, but not a requirement to earn our support. Endorsement decisions are made by a minimum of three Editorial Board representatives, and often considerably more than that. A decision does not require unanimous consent, but rather a simple majority. When there is a dissenting opinion, we often note it in our endorsement. In the past, we have endorsed both Democrats and Republicans. Our enthusiasm for a candidate is based not on our individual political views, but rather on what we collectively believe to be his or her potential to effect positive change while in office. Our endorsements will appear in our Oct. 28-Nov. 3 issue.

Early-voting hours Early voting will take place at 17 locations across Nassau County this year. The following are within the Heralds’ coverage area: Elmont Public Library, Freeport Recreation Center, Glen Cove City Hall, Hempstead Recreation Center at Kennedy Park, Lawrence Country Club, Long Beach City Hall, Rockville Centre Recreation Center, Valley Stream Presbyterian Church, St. Frances De Chantal Church in Wantagh, West Hempstead Public Library. Early voting will take place on the following dates and times: ■ Saturday, Oct. 23, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.

In the meantime, you will find our coverage of the races in the main section of the paper over the coming weeks. We might cover a news conference convened by a candidate on a salient issue or issues. We will publish Q&A’s with candidates, asking them to opine on subjects relevant to our readers. In a Q&A, candidates are asked to respond to each question in a maximum of 250 words. When they exceed that limit, we cut the response from the end down. For the second straight year, New York will allow early voting, which will begin Oct. 23 and continue through Oct. 31. Voters can cast ballots at selected sites across Nassau County during that period. For a complete list of early polling places and their hours, go to the Nassau County Board of Elections website. If you need to file an application for an absentee ballot, you can call the Board of Elections, at (516) 571-8683, and ask for one; fax a request to (516) 571-2058; or mail

letters ‘Common-sense’ gun bill needed To the Editor: Back to school brings a lot of excitement, but it can also bring anxiety. Our children’s safety is impacted not only by Covid-19, but also by our other national epidemic — gun violence. While New York state has some of the best gun violence prevention laws in the country, keeping families safe takes commitment on the local level as well. As an advocate for gun violence prevention, I have long supported public education about safe gun storage. One way to prevent unintentional child shootings is to make sure firearms are stored securely in the home using a safe or a gun lock, and making sure the weapon is unloaded, with ammunition stored separately. When sending your child to a play date at a friend’s house, always ask about the presence of a gun and how it is stored, the same way you would ask about food allergies or other child

a request to Nassau County Board of Elections, 240 Old Country Road, Fifth Floor, P.O. Box 9002, Mineola, N.Y. 11501. Otherwise, you can cast your ballot at your local polling place from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 2. All elections are consequential. Presidential elections are always hotly contested, and garner outsized attention. Though local elections are far more low-key, they are often more consequential to people’s everyday lives, affecting their propertytax bills, policing, roads, parks, garbage collection and sewer and water systems. If you want your voice to be heard, you need to cast a ballot. Our democracy is not, as they say, a spectator sport. It requires participation. So, in the coming weeks, please pay close attention to the Herald’s coverage of the candidates and then, regardless of how you do so, fulfill that most American of civic duties and vote.

opinions

recently took part in a WABC-TV special, “Back to School: Learning During a Pandemic,” hosted by Lauren Glassberg. Participants included Roger León, superintendent of Newark Public Schools in New Jersey; Dr. Jennifer Lighter, a specialist in pediatric infectious diseases at NYU Langone Health; and Dr. Jill Emanuele, senior director of the Mood Disorders Center at the Child Mind Institute in Manhattan. Glassberg distributed questions among the panelists. Here are my ALAn responses, which have been edited sinGer for space. What do you think needs to be done in terms of catching kids up in learning? The Brookings Institute posted a preliminary study in December 2020 that projected that students would lose 30 percent of the expected learning gains in reading and 50 percent in math because of Covid19 disruptions. In June, the federal Office for Civil Rights reported that the pandemic widened pre-existing racial, ethnic and economic disparities in education. There will be pressure on school administrators, teachers and students to catch up as fast as they can. If performance is measured by standardized exams, that could lead to

intense test prep rather than a focus on the joy of learning, making school a dreary place for kids who are returning to school full of joy. Have you heard any stories that suggest kids can’t learn in different situations? I think the bigger problems are the adult political battles over vaccinations and masks, which will increase adolescent anxiety and can contribute to bullying in schools. We’ve seen Covid-19 spikes in Louisiana and Texas, where people have been most hostile toward vaccinations and masks. New York City is mandating that all school employees be vaccinated by the end of September, but the teachers’ union acknowledged that there are thousands of unvaccinated city Department of Education workers, including teachers. We want to be hopeful, but we also need to be prepared. Kids respond to what is going on and the anxieties of parents and teachers. Should children and parents know which teachers are vaccinated? Teachers have rights. People with disabilities have rights. People with religious beliefs have rights. This question may have to be resolved in court. There are studies reporting that online learning isn’t as effective as classroom instruction. Can you discuss this? I have two high school-age grandchil-

e must make school and learning fun. That must be the priority.

Letters safety issues. While such precautions may seem like common sense, the Republican majority in the Nassau County Legislature refused to even discuss a safe storage bill simply because it was filed by a Democrat, Legislator Ellen Birnbaum. For three years the majority kept the bill off the docket, until a statewide safe storage law finally passed in Albany. Why did the Republicans drag their feet on this bill? Child safety is not a partisan issue. Why let party politics intrude on legislation to keep Nassau’s families safe? This is simply one area where the majority is putting their party affiliation ahead of the people they have been elected to represent. LAURA BURNS Founder, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America Burns is running for the Nassau County Legislature in the 6th District.

Teddy Roosevelt inspired 9/11 hero To the Editor: I would like to make the case that on Sept. 11, 2001, former President Theodore

dren who are now seniors. I worked with them on FaceTime. They received instructional packets from school, and sometimes they could do them and sometimes they couldn’t, but I was there to help. The reality is, though, that most students don’t have someone with whom they can work. Parents may not be fluent in English. Parents themselves may not be well educated. My grandson needed help with chemistry. I don’t know chemistry, but as an experienced teacher, I asked him to explain it to me, and through that process he figured it out. Many kids don’t have that, and they get lost and give up. That’s the problem with online learning. I virtually visited about a dozen metropolitan-area middle and high schools during the pandemic. Some had high attendance, while at others, less than 50 percent of students showed. With online learning, many students didn’t attend school, and even if they signed on, many weren’t required to turn on their cameras and weren’t there.

Roosevelt, of Oyster Bay, helped save his beloved White House or the U.S. Capitol, in addition to the lives of any people still inside either building between 10 and 10:30 a.m. that day. This posthumous “act,” 82 years after his 1919 death, was made possible through the person of Todd Beamer, who led the heroic passengers aboard United Flight 93 with the words “Let’s roll!” Although Roosevelt was born in 1858 and was president from 1901 to 1909, his very American spirit was still alive in 2001. Though he wasn’t on Flight 93, he was there in spirit, in the heart and mind of Beamer. There is little doubt that if Beamer and his courageous fellow passengers had not mobilized to attack the terrorist hijackers and bring that plane down in Shanksville, Pa., it would have soon struck the White House or the Capitol. That Beamer was, at least in part, inspired by the ideals, ideas, words and life of Roosevelt was documented in Newsweek (Dec. 3, 2001) and in Beamer’s wife’s book, “Let’s Roll!” Lisa Beamer tells how, sometime after 9/11, she found on Todd’s home office desk a quotation from Roosevelt’s 1910 “Man in the Arena” speech, which read, in part: “The credit belongs to the man who is

Did some older students take part-time jobs to earn income during school hours? At one vocational school, many parents were out of work. Because the primarily young men at the school had job skills, they were working and signing into class on their phones, but the teachers were aware they weren’t really there. It was difficult, because the teachers didn’t

want to come down hard on them, because their families needed the income, but they weren’t learning. What are your final thoughts on where you think this school year is headed? First, for younger children, we must make school and learning fun. That must be the priority. For older children, the challenge will be to reaffirm the habit of hard work, even when the task is difficult or boring. That is preparation for future life. I’d like to propose a civics project for every school and student. We need to enlist our children as Covid-19 educators. This was done during World War II, when children were mobilized for recycling campaigns to educate their parents, and it was done by Mayor Ed Koch in New York City in the 1980s, when there was a water shortage. Our children should become active in their families and communities, educating parents, family members and neighbors on why they should be vaccinated. That would bring excitement to the schools, engage kids on many different levels and help address the pandemic.
