For indoor sports leagues like Bellmore Merrick Basketball, the coronavirus pandemic has created some challenges for administrators, who want to keep their organizations active while also keeping kids and their parents safe.Despite the challenges, Bellmore Merrick Basketball has remained a fixture in the community, thanks to some decisions made by its leaders to move the league to outdoor courts in nicer weather. Now, as the league prepares for the winter season, it is ready to head back indoors, and offer new clinics to basketball players of all ages. The league has been around for over 45 years, according to Mike Kruter, one of its administrators. Kruter has been involved in BMBB as a volunteer for 27 years, he said. All three of his children played in the league.

The motor ized drill competition took place on Saturday, followed by a parade on Sunday through the Bell moreArthurVillage.White, chief of the North LonganddownstatebetweentiongetsNewingdoonshipwishthatdepartment,Bellmoreexplaineddepartmentswhotohostthechampicanvolunteertoso,andtheFirefightDrillAssociationofYorkvotesforwhothehonor.Thelocaitshostedalternatesupstateanddepartments,whenit’shostedonIsland,betweenNassau and Suffolk County.Thechampionship had been a few years in the making, amid complications caused by the coronavirus pandemic. White said North Bellmore learned it would host the tournament two years ago, but everything was postponed. The department had been planning last week end’s event for about 10-months he said, after it received word that the tournament would be taking place. Though sometimes an old-fashioned drill competition will also take place at certain competitions, this weekend’s event was only motorized drill. A small fee of $10 was charged to enter the drill on Saturday, in addition to refreshments and souvenirs being sold. The parade, which started at the intersection of Bellmore Road and Bellmore Avenue, and ended on Pettit Avenue by the Long Island Rail Road station, was free to attend.

The winning team was the Islip Wolves and in second through fifth place was the West Sayville Flying Dutchmen, the Cen tral Islip Hoboes, the North Lindenhurst Piston Knockers and the Hagerman Gam blers.White said he felt that North Bellmore hosting the event was good for both the department’s members, and the commu nity. “I think it’s a good inspiration — it brings life to (drill),” he said. “It’s good for the community. It brings the world back together. Post-Covid, things are going back to normal, and this is helpful.”

“The Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory, insisted that Judaism is accessi ble to all. During the High Holy Days, accessibility can translate into different factors for different people, such as a non-judgmental atmosphere, affordabili ty of the services, or the ability for a beginner to follow along,” Kramer added. “Our goal is to encourage each and every Jew to actively participate in these most holy and introspective days.”

There are also some who cannot afford the cost of services.Whatever the case is, many of these would-be worshippers are feeling the pangs associated with being left out of the holiest days of the Jewish calendar.

NuNley’s CAROusel Is a treasured memory for many in Nassau County and beyond, and is expected to continue influencing generations, now that it’s under operation by the Long Island Children’s Museum at Uniondale’s Museum Row.
The carousel is open from Thursday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets can be bought in advance online at the museum’s website at LICM.org/nunleys for $4.
T hey were large mechanical carou sels, populated by gorgeous woodcarved representations of horses with strong and aggressive manes, open mouths and batwing saddles. Named after the Brooklyn landmark that inspired them — Coney Island — Sol omon Stein and Harry Goldstein shipped out a number of these carousels across New York more than a century ago. Few of them still exist, but one particu lar carousel that would start its journey in Brooklyn’s Canarsie neighborhood before moving to Baldwin in 1940, not only remains, but is now part of a permanent attraction at Long Island Children’s Muse um at Uniondale’s Museum Row. Nunley’s Carousel returned to service last week, and spins once again on select days — and indoors — for $4 a ride. It gets is moniker from Nunley’s Amusement Park, where it was a fixture on Sunrise Highway until that park’s closure in 1995. Relocating it to the children’s museum took years in the making, having been pre viously part of the Cradle of Aviation operations next door. The carousel contin ued the Long Island tradition until Covid19 flared up a couple years ago, and had been closed ever since. That is until last week, when the muse um officially re-opened Nunley’s Carousel, and its fleet of more than 40 horses, a lion and two chariots. It is now one of only three Stein & Goldstein-manufactured car ousels still intact, and in 2020, was award ed the National Carousel Association’s Historic Carousel Award. Gary Grasso represented that very association during the grand re-opening, finally able to bequeath the plaque for the award over to the children’s museum inperson. Established to promote, preserve and appreciate the classic wooden carou sel, Grasso said Nunley’s is one of 50 clas sic carousels still operating. And even more impressive with its original band’s organ, ticket booth, Wurlitzer calliope, and ringTransitioningmachine.
lONg IslANd ChIldReN’s Museum president Suzanne LeBlanc addressed the eager children and adults alike waiting to ride the historic Nunley’s Carousel on its opening day on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard with Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman.
“I was one of those kids that grew up at Nunley’s,” he said. “On a Sunday, if we were really good, me and my three sisters and brother would be treated to going to Nunley’s,”Backthen, the Baldwin attraction fea tured roller coasters, games and, of course, the carousel. “The highlight was always the carou sel,” Blakeman said. “It brings back so many childhood memories.”

operational control of Nunley’s Carousel from Cradle of Avia tion on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard was a smooth one, said Suzanne LeBlanc, the children’s museum director. Fitting into the museum’s mission of connecting children to a lifetime of won der, imagination and exploration, the car ousel is an excellent exercise in analyzing options and exploring sensations as chil dren choose the perfect horse to ride on their magical adventure.
“The colors and lights and music and motion create an unforgettable multi-sen sory experience that will become part of the memories passed down through the generations,” LeBlanc said. Susan Harlin was one of the first peo ple in line last week to ride Nunley’s Car ousel once again. But it’s hardly her first time.“Oh, my goodness, I was probably about 10 — 57 years ago — the last time I rode the carousel,” she said. “I grew up in Roosevelt and we’d go to Nunley’s all the time. We’d lean out and get that golden ring so we could ride it again.” Harlin’s adult daughter, Elizabeth Bock, said seeing it reopening reminded her of her mother, and she decided to take her two children, Evelyn and Thomas, for a ride the whole family could enjoy.
Nunley’s Carousel returns to awe next generation
Saving the carousel was pushed by then-Nassau County Legislator Joseph Scannell, who redirected $420,000 through county funds and through money raised by nonprofit Pennies for Ponies in 2008. The restoration process started a year beforehand by Carousel Works in Ohio, that largest manufacturer of wooden mer ry-go-rounds in the world. It then opened in 2009, spending the next 11 years run Cradle of Aviation. While Nunley’s Carousel may have spent more time in Baldwin than any where else, Gary Farkash — president of the Baldwin Historical Society — says the ride was too big for just any one single community to claim. “It was more than just Baldwin iconic, this was something that people from all over Nassau County came to enjoy,” he said. “It’s a very proud moment for us, especially Baldwin. It was a labor of love, and having this day for us, is priceless. That’s the only thing I could say: Price less.”

How much should a backpack weigh?
Weighty Considerations Learning how backpacks affect our bodies helps explain why parents worry. According to registered nurse Anja Hammega, “when a heavy weight, such as a backpack filled with books, is incorrectly placed on the shoulders, the weight’s force can pull a child backward. To compensate for this unnatural posture, he or she may bend forward at the hips or arch the back.” Similarly, kids who sling their backpacks only on one shoulder might lean to one side to balance the weight, compressing the spine or putting unnat ural stress on the shoulders. The effect of this unbalanced stance can be mistaken for scoliosis. Beyond back pain, kids are also at risk of fall ing from the weight of their packs. Keep your kid’s load light by making sure his or her back pack weighs between 10 and 15 percent of his or her body weight. For example, if your son weighs 80 pounds, his backpack should only be 8 to 12 pounds. Younger children and girls are at even greater risk of toppling over because their packs can be heavier in proportion to their body weight. When carrying too-heavy backpacks, students can accidentally hit other kids with their sizable bags, causing injury or loss of bal ance in tight spaces such as hallways or bus aisles,Thetoo.weight of a backpack depends on the age of the person using it. Generally speaking, adults should not exceed 20 percent of total body mass when loading backpacks. That means a healthy person weighing 200 pounds should not carry more than 40 pounds in his or her backpack.Inregard to children, researchers indicate that a child’s backpack should weigh no more than 10 percent of what the student weighs. Those findings are based on a Spanish study involving 49 primary school-aged children. Therefore, if a child weighs 70 pounds, he or she should only carry up to 7 pounds in the back pack. Choose Wisely Start the year off right by purchasing a back pack that fits your child well and by teaching him or her the right way to wear it. Avoid backpacks with careless stitching, fraying fabric edges and exposed zippers without fabric flaps. These are signs of poor manufacturing, and no kid wants to be dealing with a stuck zipper or a broken bag in the middle of the school hallway. Instead, find a lightweight one with two pad ded shoulder straps. If the straps are too narrow, they can cut into your child’s shoulders, poten tially interfering with circulation and causing pain or numbness. A padded back can provide comfort and protect your kid from sharp edges of textbooks, rulers, notebooks and more. The backpack should rest evenly in the middle of the back, close to the body. And those wide shoulder straps should allow your child to freely move his or her arms to easily take the backpack off.
Backpacks are handy tools that carry an array of gear. Students rely on them to hold books, while hikers and campers utilize back packs to carry items such as food and beverages that keep them safe on trails. Even office workers may turn to backpacks to carry laptops or other tools of the Backpackstrade.are handy resources, especially for students, but overstuffed backpacks may causeHaulinginjury. full backpacks to and from school each day can be a real pain in the neck and back and shoulders. Yet backpacks are a school staple and a $2.7 billion industry for a rea son. Toting books and notepads and folders and other supplies is necessary to excel in school. So how can parents and students balance the need for backpacks with the potential for injury? Step one is to stop over-worrying about long-term damage. “A lot of parents come in to my office thinking that their child might have scoliosis because of a heavy backpack,” says Dr. Lori Karol. Though back, shoulder and neck pain are all possible results from using a too-heavy or poorly worn backpack, scoliosis and other back deformities aren’t a danger.
Pockets on backpacks are both fun and functional. Having multiple compartments will better distribute the weight of the school sup plies, and they can help your son or daughter stay organized. Bigger books should always be placed in the center of the back, and items such as cell phones and other devices can be easily moved from smaller pockets to lockers during breaks.Another option is a backpack on wheels. They can be dragged, alleviating the need to carry heavy loads.

Raising literate kids
It’s a family affair
Back-to-school it’s a hectic time full of shopping, preparation and new routines. But just because children are headed back to school doesn’t mean that parents should stop teaching their children. And just because life is hectic doesn’t mean you can’t make time to improve their literacy skills.You may feel that there isn’t enough time to add more activities to an already packed 24 hours. But these ideas, courtesy of the of National Center for Family Literacy, take just a minute! Choose a letter of the day. Look for the chosen letter in any printed materials you see the newspaper, labels at the grocery store, street signs, billboards or advertise ments on TV. Make up a silly sentence using only words beginning with the letter of the day. (For example, cats can cuddle. Dogs don’t drive. Amy always acts awake.) Singing songs is certainly a literacy activity. Try this twist: Sing short songs like “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” several times, leaving off the last word each time until there are no words left. This activity always produces giggles from children and par ents alike. Do a letter search. While you’re wait ing for the bagel to toast, have your child look for the letter B on any items on your kitchen counter or table. Count as many as possible before the toaster pops. Play “Guess Who.” Describe a cartoon character, celebrity or historical figure. Allow a guess after each detail is disclosed. Expand your child’s vocabulary by using unusual words, and then explain their meaning. Take turns. Listen carefully to your child’s descriptions, especially his choice of vocabulary. Encourage him to paint a pic ture of the character with his words. At the end of the game, compliment him on any unusual or new words used. Do word-based activities while in the car. While stuck in traffic, describe the view from the car by taking “word turns.” The activity is as easy as the name suggests. Parent and child each add a word until the scene is described. (A… yellow… convert ible… with… a… golden… retriever… in… the… back… seat… is… next… to… our… car.) This activity works well on a walk around the block or while waiting in line too. Talk to your child about her day. Pretend to be a television reporter. Try questions like “what was the most surpris ing (curious, funny, eventful) thing that happened today?” Or gather news for the paper.“If your day’s activities were an article in the newspaper, what would the headline be?” You are giving your child opportuni ties to increase vocabulary, recall and reflect, and you are receiving a more detailed version of the time you spent apart. Be prepared to answer the same questions.
Photo: Family involvement is the number one predictor of early literacy success and future academic achievement.
Above photo: Tests can be stressful even for the most prepared students, and often the brightest and most committed students can experience the most stress before an exam.
Even the most well-focused, diligent student can become overwhelmed when test time arrives.
Kiddos starting school for the first time may feel scared or anxious being away from their parents and in a new environment with different rules and expectations. Kids entering middle school may be meeting new friends, dealing with puberty, and dealing with the feelings of increased independence as well as navigating new friend groups. Teens entering high school may feel anxious about joining new friend groups, the increased work expectations, and whether or not they’ll fit in. Young adults leaving home for the first time to attend college may feel anxious as they are fully being thrown into adulthood, a new city or state, and completely new experiences.
Talk to your child Start talking now about returning to school. Ask your student open-ended questions so you can get a sense of how they are feeling about the upcoming school year. You may ask, “What are you looking forward to?” “What are your concerns?” “What are your overall thoughts about heading back?” Some children and adolescents will be very chatty when discussing their feelings about school, while other children may say they don’t want to talk about it. That’s okay: Don’t push it. But revisit the topic a few days later.
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), test anxiety is a form of performance anxiety that can affect even the most prepared students. The ADAA notes that several factors, including fear of failure and a poor test history, can contribute to test anxiety, the presence of which can make it difficult for students to concentrate and may even cause physical symptoms like headache and nausea.
Parents of students who are anxious about test performance can share the following test-taking tips with their children, courtesy of the ADAA. Prioritize preparation. Test preparation should begin well in advance of the test, as cramming the night before may make students feel unprepared and less confident in their knowledge of the material. In addition, studying at least a week or two in advance of the test date affords students the opportunity to take practice tests in conditions similar to those in real testing situations. That familiarity can calm any nerves they may typically experience when taking exams. Develop an effective test-taking strategy. The ADAA recommends students answer the questions they know first before returning to more difficult questions. Doing so may contribute to students’ confidence and calm their nerves as they approach the rest of the test. When tests include essay portions, students can outline their essays before they begin to write so they have a clearer idea of what they want to say and how they want to say it. Employ relaxation techniques. Deep, slow breaths and systematic relaxation of muscles can energize students’ bodies and make it easier for them to focus. Students can apply such techniques before exams to curb any pre-test jitters they might have and, if necessary, revisit these relaxation exercises during the test if feelings of nervousness return. Get enough sleep and eat healthy before the exam. Stress and anxiety are more difficult to cope with when the body is tired, so encourage your student to get adequate sleep the night before an exam. In addition, provide healthy foods for kids to eat prior to the exam so they are not lethargic or hungry once the test begins.Getting less than six hours of sleep can put students into what’s called a sleep deficit, or lack of sufficient sleep. Having a sleep deficiency can actually make you less sharp mentally, which can negatively affect your performance on tests, even if you spent those missed hours of sleep studying. So it’s very important for students to get all studying done so you can get a good night of sleep before the big day. Visualize success. A great way to build confidence as you fall asleep each night is to visualize yourself taking the tests and doing wonderfully. Detailed visualizations can help students feel like they’re really experiencing something, and visualizing doing well is a way to ‘practice’ success in a way that can actually help students performBeingbetter.confident as you take your exams can keep you from choking because of the stress. Visualizations can also help students to remember facts: you can create detailed scenarios that involve the information you’re trying to remember, and this can help cement the facts in your memory.
Listen closely to their answers and be supportive and understanding of any concerns. Try to be an open listener with your kids at all times. Talk together about how to face any upcoming challenges. Some students may express fear about returning to school, whether they are concerned about school violence, bullying, Covid-19, monkeypox or something else. Validate their concerns and hear them out. Talk about the steps you take as a family to stay safe, and discuss, in an age-appropriate way, what the school does to keep students safe and healthy. Point out the positive aspects of starting school to create excitement about the first day of class. Visit your child’s school campus to help your child learn their way around. Ask how your child is feeling about starting school this year and if there is something that they hope to learn. Share your back to school experiences with your children. (It may motivate them to share with you.)
Making the grade
T he beginning of a new school year is filled with hopes, possibilities, fears, and challenges. Ass students and staff head off to class, everyone looks to return to “normal,” with masking and Covid restrictions, including testing, fully lifted for the first time since the start of the pandemic. As schools reopen, administrators, staff and families are dealing with a whole host of issues. There’s much more to classroom learning than simply sitting behind a desk. Back to school time leads to transitions that affect the whole family. There will likely be changes to family and home routines, new teachers, new classrooms, and maybe even a new school. It helps to have guidance not only for unfamiliar circumstances but for the typical challenges students and families face at the beginning of each school year. Summer break can be a great time for your family to relax and spend time together, however some kids (and adults!) can struggle with the return to routine. Establishing back to school routines early could lessen some of the “back to school jitters” but may not alleviate ALL of them..
Test-taking doesn’t have to be stress-inducing
Above photo: Students generally need two to-four weeks to adjust to a new school year. Be patient and give them time. Check in daily, asking open-ended questions about how things are going. Reassure your child that each day is a fresh start!
Restoring a sense of normalcy
HERALDBELLMORE—202225,August 10
√ Encourage them to join a club or sports team, but be supportive if they aren’t ready just yet.
Don’t be afraid to seek help. Plenty of students experience test anxiety, and many schools offer programs designed to help students overcome their test-taking fears. Making use of these programs is a great way for kids to improve their testing performance.
Strategize solutions if your child shares concerns about the new school year. √ Build a parent-teacher relationship with open communication. √ Attend back to school events hosted by your child’s school.
Start preparing and practicing Get out the bookbag and school supplies. Drum up excitement by purchasing a new bookbag, lunch box or outfit. Create and organize a designated study space in your home for homework, stocked with any needed supplies. Any preparation now will help ease the transition during those hectic first days and weeks of the school year.
Back to the classroom
√ Check out the school’s website before school starts to access helpful resources and information. (There are usually pictures to familiarize students with the school. It might be fun for students to spot pictures of teachers and classmates.)

Parents are registering their children, Kruter said, and the league has recruited some new volunteers. He has a longstanding commitment to the league, he said, because he understands the importance of youth sports organizations. “I do it because I know how important sports are to children,” Kruter said. “Even more so in today’sThoughworld.”the league faces some uncertainty as it resumes indoor play, its administrators look forward to another successful season starting in November. The clin ics taught by Short will still take place outdoors, at New bridge Road Park, in September and October. For more information on them, visit Progressive Hoops’ Instagram page, @Progressive.Hoops, and for more on the league, visit its website, or contact bmbbinfo@gmail.com.
By the spring of 2021, Kruter said, the league needed to do something to ensure that it wouldn’t fold. “To keep the league going, and the brand out there,” he said, “we decided to bring the bas ketball league outdoors.”
Now, Kruter added, as the league looks ahead to the winter, it has been informed by the school districts in Bellmore that they would issue permits for gym use once again. BMBB is now shifting gears to build back its indoor league — and some exciting changes are coming. In the past, instructional clinics were only offered to younger players, and the league found that older children were missing out on the additional instruction that could help them improve their skills. Partnering with the instructional basketball group Progressive Hoops, which is led by former NCAA Division 1 player Steadman Short, clinics will now be offered to middle school and high school students who play in the league.

Working with the Town of Hempstead, BMBB received per mits to use the courts at New bridge Road Park in South Bell more. It put together spring, sum mer and short fall seasons in 2021, and a spring and summer season this year. About 400 kids took part in the outdoor games, Kruter said. The move outside led to some changes. Indoors, games are played on a full court. Outdoors, fewer courts dictated a pivot to half-court games. Despite the changes, Kruter said, the shift was well received by parents.

■ To alter your behavior, you must know alternative ways to act and speak, despite feeling upset in the moment. So think about how you can respond to someone who annoys you before the annoying moment. Once you know that, it’ll be much easier to avoid reacting with furi ous, venomous, impulsive words or actions that can quickly destroy every thing you hold dear.
rage creates trouble!
T here’s so much rage we see on television and is posted on social media that you may feel absolutely justified becoming angry and resentful with others when they don’t act as you expect them to.
But how can you do this when you’re so upset? ■ First, you must gain control of your anger. Nobody makes you act the way you do. Yes, others contribute to your anger, but you’re the one who acts it out. So, take responsibility for your behavior rather than putting the blame on another.

So it’s important that you think, not act.Think with the smart part of your brain, never letting the reptilian part control your life. Think about how you want to con ductThinkyourself.thoughts that’ll calm you down. Think about walking away — at least for the moment. Control your rage for yourself as well as for others. In the heat of anger you may feel righteous and mighty, but how good will you feel about yourself the next day? No matter how you rationalize what you said or did, in those silent moments of contemplation, you’ll feel humiliated and shamed for acting like a jerk. And your reputation will be damaged long after your anger has quelled. Smoldering embers live on for ever, crumbling even strong relation ships into bits and pieces. Now I’m not suggesting you need to be an angel. Nor do I think you should be easy-tempered, serene, and shrug off your hostility when resentments and disappointments slap you in the face. I am suggesting, however, that hurt feel ings, perceived slights, unexpected dis appointments, even minor treacheries need to be dealt with fittingly, not taken to the extreme nor viewed as tragic.
■ You tell your husband what you need him to do. He forgets and does exactly what he intended to do in the first place.
■ Critically examine your assumptions. Imagine alternative explanations and interpretations for what someone did. If your kid didn’t listen to you, could it be due to his attention problem, forgetful ness, or other priorities he has rather than his wish to blow you off? How one behaves is often about their momentary needs, not your expectations.
“Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.”

OBITUARIES
The family of Allan D. Kolinsky is sad to announce he died on Aug. 12, 2022 at 72 at North Shore Hospital in Manhasset.Kolinsky was born on Dec. 7, 1949 to parents Morris and Esther, in Brooklyn. He moved to Long Island, where he became a lifelong South Shore resident, growing up in Bellmore, before moving to Merrick and then Wantagh. Kolinsky was a graduate of Sanford H. Calhoun High School, and an entre preneur who started many businesses, including Du-All TV, which he co-owned in Merrick for 20 years. Kolinsky’s repu tation in the community was widely known as the person to go to when you needed a repair done. In his personal life, he was known as the Barbecue King and Mr. Fix It — two passions that expressed his love for both food and electronics. Kolinsky had a dry, quirky sense of humor and constantly enjoyed learning about new technology. He loved old diners, car shows, movies, tinkering with everything mechanical, and his family most of all. Kolinsky is survived by his wife of 51 years, Barbara, their sons Lee, Jason and Gary, daughter-in-laws Staci, Samantha, and Anna, and six grandchil dren, Julie, Riley, Peyton, Fiona, Mad dyn, Raquel, and his brother Keith. Kolinsky will be loved and missed by all.

The Our attic air conditioning leaked into our ceil ing. The ceiling is so wet we need to replace it. We now understand we’ll need to have the pipe that drains water out of our A.C. drain pan blown out every spring, and now have a service contract for that. The insulation is also wet. We were told to let it dry out and it will be fine. Is this true? Also, the ceil ing joists over our 12-foot-wide master bedroom are only 2 x 6, which might cause the ceiling to sag and isn’t enough for the insulation, we’re told, which we understand has to be 10 inches thick. When we asked our contractor about this, he told us we can push the insulation down and then replace the plywood floor in our attic. What do you think?
A. When it rains, it pours. The leaking was a wakeup call that A.C. unit condensation occurs every summer season, and even though you have a drain pan, if it doesn’t have a working sensor to shut off before the drain pan overflows and you never clean the drain pan pipe to the outdoors, the water overflows. You should, by law (code), have a floor in the attic around the unit, also, which can dry out, since it remains structural, and will be minimally affected by the water. The insulation and the sheetrock are another story. If the sheetrock hasn’t loosened and isn’t sag ging, then it can just be left to dry out. Make cer tain, even using a moisture meter, that the sheet rock is completely dry before repainting to avoid potential mildew and discoloration. The insulation, if it is either fiberglass or closed-cell foam, can be dried out also, but only if it can be exposed. This means removing the plywood flooring above so that air can get to the insulation.
Heat moves by one of three mechanical princi ples, convection, conduction and radiation. If the air bubbles or pockets in the insulation are pressed closer together and the material made denser by this, the conduction or transfer of temperature is easier, so the insulation has less likelihood of resisting, and resisting is what you want insulation to do. It would be great to rebuild the floor with deeper joists or have closed-cell foam sprayed in, since it also resists water saturation to solve the problem. Good luck!

In addition, the insulation should be inspected to see that it isn’t compressed by the saturation weight of the water, since compressing insulation, contrary to what you were told, actually takes away the ability for it to work properly. The principle behind insulation technology isn’t just the use of thermally resistant material but, most critically, the insulation forms tiny air pockets within the material that form the resistance to air passing through. Each trapped air bubble slows the transfer of cold or heat by first conducting or resisting the temperature change within the air molecules.

KREMERJERRY
eing a college trustee for 30 years, I have kept a close eye on trends in the field of higher edu cation. I’m happy to see that many of our institutions are introducing new courses that reflect the changes that are happening. There are plenty of jobs for engineers and many schools, like Hofs tra, have created comprehensive pro grams to thereshortage?suchones.gramslongermanyofcriticalthereanticipateddents.engineeringattractstuButIneverthatwouldbeashortageteachers,andcollegesnohaveprototrainnewWhydowehaveanationalSadly,aretoomany reasons. If you follow the news, you’ll learn that the state of Florida needs 8,000 teachers, but no one is rushing to work in the Sunshine State. The politicians, not the colleges, caused Florida’s dilemma. Florida has passed multiple laws govern ing what can be taught in the classroom, and numerous school boards are asking residents which books they want removed from library shelves. Those conditions alone would discourage a teacher or any student thinking about getting an educa tionFearingdegree.for their personal safety, teach ers and education students are also shun ning states such as Texas. Since the recent tragedy in Uvalde, in which 19 students and two teachers were killed, some state officials have been suggesting that schoolteachers bring a gun to class. Why would a col lege-bound student consider teaching as a profession if they had to take firearm training to qualify for a job? In addition, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is in the process of suggesting revisions to the schoolPerhapscurriculum.thebiggest disin centive for potential new teachers is salary levels around the coun try. If you live in New York, Massachu setts, California or Alaska, starting sala ries are attractive enough for possible can didates. But Missouri, as an example, has an average starting salary of $33,200, and the legislature has failed to appropriate any fresh dollars to increase it. Because salaries in some 14 states are so low, teach ers are forced to take second jobs in order to survive. A National Education Associa tion 2021 survey found that the national average for entry-level teacher pay is $41,000, and experienced teachers on aver age earn $64,000.
country.aroundsalarydisincentivebiggestislevelsthe in 1957, 10-year-old me started sixth grade at the Number Three School in Cedarhurst, in Mrs. Haggerty’s class. No one in that snapshot is still stand ing but me. The Number Three School is now a yeshiva, Mrs. Haggerty presumably is in teacher heaven, and 1957 is now 2022. I was the new kid in class. We had just moved “out to the Island” from Queens. It wasn’t an easy transition for a spot,”gaveTwoclass,hadthegirl.pipsqueaksuper-sensitiveofaBytheendoffirstweek,IcriedtwiceinandinWeekthemeangirlsmethe“blackwhicheveryonewho’sread“TreasureIsland”knowsisfatal:You’llbedeadby the end of the day. I didn’t die, but that’s only a technicali ty. This all comes back to me as we begin the new school year after over two years of home schooling, Zoom classes and dys functional education amid the coronavi rus pandemic. Our kids and grandkids are survivors of a massively destabilizing sea son of social distancing and quarantining and mask wearing. Parents, too, have gone through their own version of hell. Therefore, two things are going on at the same time. On one level, nothing has changed, and on every other level, every thing has changed. I asked my grandkids how they’re feeling about going back to school, the pluses and the minuses, and they all said the same thing. They’re looking forward to seeing other kids, and they’re worried about doing well after this disruptive hiatus.In1957 that was what I wanted, too. I wanted the kids to like me, and I hoped to find some friends. So are we all good? The schools will open, the children will get to see one another, and learning will take place. But that is only if we ignore the rip ple effects of these years of deprivation and isolation. Look around. Smell the air. Feel the vibe. Check in with your stress-o-meter. This back-to-school year is different from other years. In the same way that the pan demic changed our way of living for over two years, it will change our path forward, too.Like most other Americans, I am so relieved that our kids and grandkids are going back to the classroom, in person, with real teachers for a full day. But nor malcy is a relative thing. There are children suffering from school anxiety. We have a mental health crisis among our teenagers. For good rea son, children are afraid of getting sick, getting shot, or failing at their schoolwork. Some friends report that their elementary school grandkids don’t want to go back to school. Their bed room has become their safe place.We need parents and teachers to be monitoring the re-entry process. And parents, too, need support and the comfort of realizing they have survived an unprecedented national and global catastrophe. Parents haven’t ever had to home-school and work from home while trying to stay alive. We are returning to school at a time when ad hoc groups in communities across America are deciding what books school libraries can purchase. They are banning material they deem unsuitable, with references to gender or sexuality or race. Many teachers are demoralized by this random oversight, and we need to pay attention to the political tides in our schoolWho’sdistricts.goingto pay for all the school supplies and technology that is now part of public education? In 1957, my black and white composition book cost 20 cents. Today the average family spends $800 or more per child on back-to-school shop ping. Amazon is selling the composition book for $11.99. How will individual schools navigate this nearly post-pandemic time? There are the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and then there’s real life. We don’t know yet how treatment of Covid surges will be handled. During their isolation and down time, our kids have become increasingly con nected to their phones. Many mental health professionals see this as an addic tion, and the connection to social media as an impediment to interpersonal commu nication and relationships. How will schools deal with the phone issue? The devices have become a kind of secondary umbilical cord during the school day. We need to take a step back and let our children resume the level of personal responsibility they had before the restric tions of the pandemic. They can do it, and we can, too. We cheer our kids as they return to the classroom. We are mindful that they have been through something, and that they carry more than books in their backpacks.

An article by Emily Tate in the March issue of Mother Jones magazine outlined the expanding number of teachers hold ing second jobs. The reporter interviewed 30 people, all of whom worked in such gigs as bartenders, delivery ser vices, tutoring, Lyft or Uber drivers, retail clerks and real estate agents. Many of those interviewed found their work interesting and challenging, but admitted that having to work after hours and nights detracted from their mission to be pre pared for classroom chal lenges. Some observers would say that there’s noth ing wrong with teachers looking to supplement their income, but others would say that teach ers shouldn’t be forced to grade papers at 2 a.m.Many years ago I was asked to repre sent a Long Island school board in its negotiations with the district teachers union.While some current-day negotiation tactics may have changed, the discussions I had soured me on doing such work in the future. The school board asked for an extra 30 minutes a day to help students who were falling behind and needed extra help. In addition, it proposed that the start ing salaries for entry-level teachers be boosted by 10 percent. Those requests were rebuffed, and the only salary discus sion was about how much to pay teachers with 10 or more years of service. Unable to find teachers, a number of school boards in Indiana and Ohio recent ly advertised that they would accept any one with a college degree to teach in their schools. The deeper you dive into the national teacher crisis, the more you learn about why high school graduates are turn ing their backs on studying education in college and one of the most important jobs in our society, and why experienced teach ers are retiring in large numbers. America has its priorities messed up when it comes to the teaching profession. A young baseball player called up to the major leagues makes hundreds of thou sands of dollars, and may be further rich ly rewarded with bonuses and long-term contracts. Is it asking too much to pay new teachers a decent wage? I don’t think so, but apparently many governments around the country have failed not only the teach ing profession, but children as well.

Herald editorial
W e don’t know much about him, except that he was 61 years old and he had visited a live animal market in Wuhan, China. But his death was the first of nearly 6.5 million worldwide who would die from complications of what would come to be known as Covid-19. And just 10 days later, on Jan. 21, 2020, the first confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States would be found in Washington state. We are just months away from Covid’s third anniversary, and while the pandemic itself has changed so much of what we call “normal,” it does feel like life is ever so slowly returning to what it was before the ball dropped in Times Square on Jan. 1, 2020.Social distancing is gone. Masks, while still seen — and even worn — are nowhere near as prominent as they once were. And getting the sniffles doesn’t evoke the same kind of panic it once did. If we look hard enough, there are still signs of those troubling times around us: worn stickers on floors of businesses call ing for six feet of separation. Signs on shop entrances requiring face coverings. And even the occasional Covid-19 mobile testing site on the street. Hospitals aren’t overwhelmed. The death toll is no longer prevalent. And far more of us are vaccinated against the virus than those who aren’t. There are many who say the coronavi rus is now an endemic rather than a pan demic, meaning it’s here, we’ll see season al surges and maybe even some variations, but it’s not the threat it once was. Yet those variants remain unpredictable, and it’s not clear whether current vaccination levels will stave off future mass hospitalizations andAnddeath.yes, people are still dying from the virus, at a clip of more than 600 per day in the United States, according to some esti mates. That’s one person every two min utes.But how scared should we be? What numbers should we pay attention to? And what should we do if we fear exposure to the virus, or develop symptoms that close ly resemble Covid-19? First and foremost, we must stop focus ing on who is getting the virus, and how many, but instead on what impact it’s hav ing on hospitals and mortality. Those num bers were important before there was a vaccine, but not today, when a vast majori ty of those inoculated recover with no major complications, or even the need to visit a hospital. The virus and its many variants will continue to infect people, just as the flu does, and even the common cold. Yes, Covid-19 remains far deadlier than either of those ailments — and thus more serious — but for those of us not working in public health, spending so much time tracking every case accomplishes very little, except to raise anxiety. If you find out you were in the same room as someone who tested positive, you can’t ignore it. But you don’t need to rush to quarantine, either. The Centers for Dis ease Control and Prevention recommends continuing with your life as normal. Just wear a mask for the next 10 days while indoors, or while in close proximity to oth ers.If you start showing symptoms, get test ed right away. If you don’t, wait at least fiveIfdays.youdo test positive, only then should you isolate. And then just for five days, as long as your fever breaks before the start of the fourth day without the help of medi cation, and your other symptoms are improving. Still, even if you can end isola tion, you should still wear a mask through the 10th Whileday.it’s nice to focus on other things in life — and in the news — rather than the coronavirus, we can’t forget about it.
More than a dozen people are dying of the disease in New York each day, on average, and even if you survive, there are still a number of other complications that can be outright debilitating long after you recover from the initial infection, like long Covid. And many people we interact with are considered “vulnerable,” meaning they may not be able to fight the virus like the rest of us. So wear a mask when you’re around someone who might be more at risk. Wear one in large groups, especially indoors. And if someone starts showing symptoms, know exactly how you can help stop the spread without disrupting your life.Each day brings us closer to our normal lives, so long as we don’t forget what upended all of them in the first place.
letters A road plan to nowhere?
To the ThankEditor:you for Kyle Chin’s “Could toll lanes fix parkway’s ‘Blood Alley’?” (Aug. 11-17). This story reports on a critical local issue that readers should be aware of. The Long Island Contractors Association and State Assembly woman Michaelle Solages, a Demo crat and the Assembly’s deputy majority leader, are promoting a plan to add High Occupancy Toll lanes to the Southern State Parkway, ostensibly to reduce the number of accidents and deaths on the thor oughfare. The proposal does not explain precisely how the addition of HOTs would do so, though, except perhaps for those traveling in the lanes, which would be open only to single-occupancy drivers who could afford the tolls or those in high-occu pancy vehicles (carpoolers). Among the greatest causes of accidents on the SSP are excessive speed and drunken driving. How would HOTs reduce either?
Covid-19 is still here, so what does that mean?
Additionally, would the plan involve destroying sections of the Southern State’s forests and grassy medians — among the South Shore’s few uninter rupted green spaces — to make way for the HOTs?

To the Editor: Re Randi Kreiss’s column “Florida Gov. DeSantis: teachers need to be educat ed (Aug. 11-17): Thank you, Randi! I am in a family with teachers, as are a number of friends. I am an art therapist (also licensed by New York state) and teach on a graduate level. I resent it when people say, “Those who can do, do, and those who can’t do, teach.”
The State Department of Transporta tion proposed a plan 20 years ago to widen and add bus lanes to the Southern State.The agency quietly dropped it, howev er, in the face of strong opposition by environmentally conscious civic groups like the Massapequa-based Long Island Progressive Coalition, which was con cerned about the destruction of green spaces.Wealso must ask how the Southern State’s accident statistics compare with other thoroughfares throughout the region, like the Northern State Parkway or the Long Island Expressway. The LIE is about as wide and straight as a road can be, with High Occupancy Vehicle lanes, and yet it remains plagued by acci dents — and congestion.

It’s unclear in Chin’s story, but it’s an important question.

G ov. Kathy Hochul recently stood in front of the Long Island Rail Road’s New Hyde Park station to celebrate the arrival of the first train on the LIRR’s much-needed Third Track. In truth, she had little to do with this multi-billion-dollar project.

Another seasoned politician, New York City mayor Eric Adams, has actually joined Republican lawmakers in demand ing that the State Legislature address the crisis. Not surprisingly, the progressivedominated Legislature declined Adams’s call for an emergency session. He told reporters, “We’re not talking about some one that steals an apple. We’re talking about someone that has repeatedly used violence in our city: robberies, grand lar cenies, burglaries, shootings, carrying a gun.”Hochul will not be alone on the ballot this November. Long Island state senators who voted with their progressive col leagues are going to be asked by voters why they “went along” on progressive leg islation that is now destroying a funda mental principle of American life: free dom from fear.
focus off the issue that may decide wheth er I will stays in office after November: crime.The headlines are unrelenting. Almost daily we hear of repeat felons being let loose thanks to legislation that essentially scrapped the ability of judges to hold dan gerous repeat felons behind bars until their trials. The painful impact on our communities is incalculable. Still, there is another metric that tells you something about the impact that legislation has had on those who have taken a solemn oath to protect our Accordingsociety.topublished reports, more than 1,500 New York City police officers have either resigned or retired so far this year. If this trend continues, it may well be the biggest loss of officers since these kinds of statis tics began to be recorded by the department. Some 524 police officers had resigned, and 1,072 had retired as of the beginning of the sum mer — a 38 percent increase over the same period last year. We should be more than frightened, because these law enforcement pro fessionals see the true nature of the threat on every patrol, and they have decided that our society isn’t prepared to back them up. There are serious questions we need to ask our public officials this Election Day. We could ask State Senate Majority Lead er Andrea Stewart-Cousins. She led the crusade to dismantle the bail laws, and her progressive agenda remains unchanged as police blotters are filled with repeat felons attacking law-abiding citizens.Ifasked, police officers handing in their badges will say they are done with the job because of anti-cop hostility that is a central philosophy of the progressives, and the obviously destructive nature of “bail reform” to the very idea of law enforcement.Thiscrisis isn’t just a New York City problem. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman has issued a report stating that more than 87 percent of criminal suspects arrested in Nassau County in April and June were released back on the streets without bail. This number includes 282 who were facing violent assaultStandingcharges.with Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder, Blakeman revealed that in the second quarter of 2022, 2,641 of 3,019 people arrested — 87.5 percent — were released without bail. Some 282 of them faced assault charges, and 103 were arrested on weapons char gers. And then there’s the defendant some have described as a poster child of this cri sis. Tejinder Singh was arrested for alleg edly throwing bricks through the win dows or windshields of 27 cars parked in East Meadow during a three-day vandal ism spree. He was released without bail just hours after his arrest. Hochul is no political neophyte. While she has a massive political war chest and solid poll numbers, all of that can go south quickly if the summer of crime becomes the autumn of anger, especially on voterrich Long Island. When the governor spoke before the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police’s annual conference, she told her audience she would support and fully fund law enforcement. But what does that mean when the destruction of bail laws by Alba ny has led to an explosion of street crime?

I, like most of us who have gone through a lot of schooling, have had the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to teachers. I’ve had teachers who phone it in, and those whose every word I’ve hung onto, savored and quoted throughout my life. To be so naive as to think that all you need is a mentor (and I am sure veterans have lots of spare time) to be able to man age a classroom and teach a subject that you don’t know is sheer idiocy. I have seen “professionals” practice outside their scope of expertise more times than I would like to. I know that there are other types of therapists who believe that all you need is a box of Cray olas and you’re good to go. One of the problems with being ignorant is that you don’t have the knowledge or insight to know that you’re ignorant. But that being said, Randi did make a very valid point. With an uneducated con stituency, Florida’s governor Ron DeSan tis has a better chance of being re-elected. As, my son, a police officer, would say, “felony stupidity.” And unlike Covid, there is still no cure for stupid. Keep on calling it as you see it, Randi.
