Bellmore-Merrick athletics debuts new guardian caps

At practices, football players in the district get a new, protective look

AS ThiS SEASoN’S football camp kicked off last week for the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District’s three varsity football teams, some players donned a new, protective padding on their helmets, called guardian caps.

f you pass a high school football practice this fall in Bellmore-Merrick, you may notice that not all of the players’ helmets look the same.

Players are now wearing guardian caps, a soft-shell helmet covering that reduces the impact a football player endures when they fall to the ground, and consequently, the risk for a head injury. The Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District is kicking off

the season by providing all three varsity football teams guardian caps, making it among the first districts on Long Island to do so.

In the Central District, there are three high schools — John F. Kennedy High School and Wellington C. Mepham High School in Bellmore, and Sanford H. Calhoun High School in Merrick.

Eric Caballero, district athletic director, said football lovers may notice these caps being worn by players on television, at various levels of play. “As the Continued on page 4

Bellmore-based crisis center says, ‘Let’s walk, ‘let’s talk’

By JoRDAN VAlloNE jvallone@liherald.com

September is Suicide Prevention Month, and for the first time in since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the Long Island Crisis Center will raise money and awareness — simply by walking.

Its 14th annual event, “Let’s Walk, Let’s Talk-Ste pping Together to Prevent Suicide,” is slated for Sunday, Sept. 18 on the Long Beach boardwalk. It’s one of the Bellmore-based crisis center’s biggest events, but had to take place virtually the last couple of years.

Since its first journey in 2009,

the crisis center walk has provided a chance for people to come together and raise awareness for suicide prevention, said Debra Katz, a volunteer counselor for the center’s crisis hotline.

Many use the day as an opportunity to remember those they may have lost.

“I think that, for people who have lost loved ones to suicide, even though their loved ones are always on their minds and in their hearts every day, the walk is exclusively for their memory,” Katz said.

And there is always strength in numbers, said Tawni Engel, the crisis center’s associate executive director.

volunteer Long Island Crisis Center “We’re all coming from this like-minded place of wanting to support one another,” said Engel, who worked her way from an intern in 2008 to her current leadership role about a year ago.

“It’s a somber day, but we try to keep it upbeat.”

The walk’s festivities kick off at 10:30 a.m., at 1 Laurelton Blvd.

Besides the actual walkers, those showing up can expect music, Engel said, along with informational tables and booths from various organization. The morning program also honors the crisis center’s person of the year, and feature speeches about suicide awareness.

The walk itself starts at 11:30.

Those joining the physical

part will find a specific walking path to follow, said Susan Slagg, the crisis center’s operations manager. But there is no pressure for anyone to walk the entire time.

“I always say (the event) is good for the non-walkers, too,” she said. “The walk is more for people to get together, and bring Continued on page 12

New beginnings at the Merrick Jewish Centre

By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com

I

t’s been more than four decades since the Merrick Jewish Centre welcomed a new rabbi. But the Fox Boulevard congregation did just that recently as Joshua Dorsch takes over as its spiritual leader.

Yet, he has considerably large shoes to fill, succeeding Rabbi Charles Klein, who retired last October after 43 years.

Yet this day almost didn’t happen for Congregation Ohr Torah. Hailing from Philadelphia, Dorsch was convinced during his college years he’d become a lawyer. In fact, he not only has a degree from the Albert A. List College of Jewish Studies at Columbia University, he also picked up a degree from the main Manhattan campus itself, ultimately applying to both law and rabbinical schools.

“It was a really difficult decision between the two, because growing up in all my formative years, I was very active in leadership roles in both national and international youth groups,” Rabbi Joshua Dorsch said. “I went to Jewish Dorsch summer camp, and I loved it.”

Yet, the decision on which way to go got easy at the end, as it came down to a single deciding factor: money.

“That’s not what I wanted my life to be about,” Dorsch said. “At the end of the day, I went to rabbinical school.

And I’ll tell you, to a certain extent I do feel like I went to law school. I just work for a different set of rules.”

Dorsch ended up at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America — List College’s parent. He picked up a pair of master’s degrees along the way — one in Jewish education, and another in Midrash and scriptural interpretation.

After nearly six years of additional schooling, Dorsch joined the Beth El Synagogue Center in New Rochelle.

That’s where he met his wife, Stephanie.

Not long after, Dorsch and Stephanie decided to do something “crazy.” They completely changed the pace of their lives and moved to San Diego, with their infant son so Dorsch could lead the Tifereth Israel Synagogue there.

“It was very unknown, very unfamiliar territory for us — and we loved it,” he said. “But three kids and a pandemic later, we decided it was time to come back home.”

That’s when he got the call to come back home — or, at least, back to the east coast. The opening at Merrick Jewish Centre was both exciting and intriguing.

The process of finding a new rabbi to succeed Klein was a lengthy one, MJC president Howard Tiegel said.

And Covid-19 didn’t help.

But also, selecting a new leader can be tricky. Especially following someone who had such deep roots in the congregation like Klein.

Like Dorsch, Klein arrived with his own young family in tow back in 1978. Many of the Jewish families were young then, Tiegel remembers. And now as Dorsch and his family arrives, Tiegel is seeing it again with a number of fresh new faces in the Merrick and Bellmore Jewish community.

“In a sense,” Tiegel said, “we wanted to go back to the future.”

Dorsch recognized the “enormous progress and ongoing potential of the congregation” due to his “youthful spirit” and “soul of a person with greater life experiences,” Tiegel said, something he himself saw during Dorsch’s first visit to MJC last December.

“It was love at first sight,” Tiegel said. “Not only from Rabbi Dorsch to the congregation, but from the congregation to him.”

RABBi JOshuA DORsch’s arrival has been an exciting time for the Merrick Jewish Centre’s congregants.

Nadav, 5, and Avi, 5 months, and daughter Ziva, 2. He said they’re happy to be back on the east coast, close to their extended family.

“I will say, for better or for worse, my youth is one of my strengths,” Dorsch said. “I am committed to lifelong learning, youth engagement, and socially, religiously, and intellectually engaging congregants in any way that makes their lives better.”

Ali Sussman, who joined MJC four years ago, said Dorsch’s arrival has been an overall exciting time.

“It’s a transition for sure, but for some people, it’s just a start,” said Sussman, who also serves on the congregation’s executive board. “We keep saying it’s like magic — history repeating itself. Our families can hang out, and our kids can play. But we also have someone to turn to.

People just really want to build connections and hold onto Jewish tradition and culture.”

Klein, too, remains active in synagogue life, but describes the spiritual continuity of the Merrick Jewish Centre — which opened in 1929 — as a bit of an anomaly.

“When you look at the recent history of the Jewish community of Long Island, there is, sadly, a really high number of synagogues that have closed or merged,” the rabbi said. “The Merrick Jewish Centre has managed to remain a robust, dynamic, forward-looking synagogue.”

Klein’s hope is that Dorsch can take what has been created and use it as a foundation to build upon.

“As long as the history of the Merrick Jewish Centre is,” Klein said, “it’s remarkable that we’re talking about a history yet to be written.”

Dorsch is ready to get to work in this post-Covid world, ready to help the congregation redefine what it means to be part of an active synagogue.

“The pandemic was transformative,” he said. “As we begin to emerge from Covid, in what is a transformed view of the world and synagogue life, it’s about rebuilding in a way that makes sense for what it means to be a member of a synagogue — and the Jewish community — in the wake of the 21st century.”

ThE fAmiLy Of Rabbi Joshua Dorsch is ready to create new roots in Merrick as he takes over spiritual leadership of Merrick Jewish CentreCongregation Ohr Torah.

Dorsch — with sons Nadav, left, and Avi, along with daughter Ziva and wife Stephanie.

RABBi JOshuA DORsch — here with his daughter, Ziva, at a Hebrew school open house — began his role at the Merrick Jewish Centre-Congregation Ohr Torah on July 15, filling a permanent position left vacant by the now-retired rabbi Charles Klein.

For Bellmore-Merrick athletes, safety is key Continued from front page NFL training camps began this year, you started to see the implementation of the guardian caps,” he said, “and not only at the NFL level, but the NCAA level as well.”

Caballero said he learned about the caps from one of the district’s football coaches, who had received an email from a sales representative at Guardian Innovations, the company that created the caps. Earlier this month, Caballero decided to research the caps, and calculate costs, as the expense was not in the district budget.

After speaking with Superintendent Mike Harrington, and the district’s Board of Education, it was determined that acquiring the caps — 20 per team — would be possible. The caps were ordered, and within a week, the teams had them, just in time for the start of this season’s football practices on Aug. 22.

The caps are foam-like in appearance, lightweight, and strap onto the helmet with Velcro. They will mainly be used by specific positions groups, Caballero explained, players that face a greater risk for physical contact. This includes linemen, tight ends and linebackers. If a player is recovering from a concussion, however, or is deemed at risk for a head injury, a coach can choose to have that specific player also wear a cap.

“They’re very lightweight,” Caballero said. “The kids are using them, without

question, without issue.”

Matt Moody, the head football coach at Mepham High, said he’s seen the caps before, and was always intrigued by their actual use.

“They’re an additional thing to help with player safety,” he said. “Anything to help protect the kids is a great addition to the program.”

Data shows the caps reduce the force of impact, up to 33 percent, according to Guardian Innovations. The caps also insulate, reducing up to 20 degrees of static heat. They are slick to the touch, fit all helmet sizes, and are also machine washable, which is an added bonus, Caballero said.

Moody has long been a football coach, first at Marist College when he was a student, and later at Deer Park High School.

He held various assistant coaching positions at Mepham, and this is his first year as the head coach of the program. He said so far, he’s been implementing the caps as suggested, giving them to mostly high impact position groups, and one to a player who suffered a head injury during the spring.

Moody himself had 10 concussions as a player, and sees why the caps are so important. “Once you have one concussion,” he said, “you’re more susceptible to future concussions.”

Taking the caps on and off is easy, Caballero said. The cap goes on top of the helmet. There is no spreading of bodily

“The kids do it on their own,” Caballero said. “(The caps) are not cumbersome.”

The caps, for now, are only being worn at practices, Caballero explained, because they are not approved for game play yet.

That’s an issue, he said, that is even above county-sanctioned rules. Something such as approving guardian caps for games would need to be done so at a statewide level.

Even though the caps are only being used by varsity players, if the initiative takes off, the district make look to pur-

chase more.

“We implemented this with the intention of it spreading across the board,” Caballero said. “We are piloting it with varsity players.”

The safety of student athletes, Caballero added, is always a priority. “This is a small price to pay to further improve safety for our student-athletes,” he wrote in an email. “The BMCHSD has always been willing to attempt to stay ahead of the curve and I am proud to say that this initiative will be in place at the start of tryouts at all three of our high schools.”

Aspiring Eagle Scout prepares for his project

J

oseph Ciniglio, a senior at Sanford H. Calhoun High School in Merrick, is working towards earning the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest achievable rank in the Boy Scouts of America.

Ciniglio, 17, of Merrick, has been involved with Boy Scouts since he was in the fifth grade, bridging over to his current troop, Troop 225, when he was around the age of 12. His troop, he said, is involved in various community-oriented projects, and regularly runs food drives for local pantries. The troop has around 40 active scouts, ranging in age from 12 to 17. Since he’s bridged over, he said he has assisted his fellow troop members complete their Eagle Scout projects, whether it be during the fundraising portion, or actual execution of the project.

His planned project will bring exterior renovations to the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ hall on Bedford Avenue in Bellmore. “My project, I kind of like it, because it’s a good alliteration,” he said.

“I am going to power wash, plant, and paint around the facility.”

The façade of the building is tall and white, with large columns that extend upward and attach to an overhang. The building, and some of the rust that has accumulated on the columns, will be power washed, and repainted. Additional-

ly, some of the yellow lines that indicate parking spaces as well as directional arrows in the VFW’s parking lot will also get a fresh coat of paint.

Outside of the building, some older shrubs will be dug up, especially the ones that surround a headstone, and new plantings, as well as some limestone rocks, will be laid down. In more ways than one, the building’s exterior will get a facelift. The process of planning a project, and figuring out what you want to do, is one of the hardest parts, Ciniglio said.

“One thing I was told, was make sure to log everything — write it down, write it down, write it down,” he said. “There’s a workbook online, and there’s some things to fill out as you go. The hardest part is you actually figuring out what you want to do.”

He said it can be tricky to plan a project, and start making contact with potential beneficiaries. Ciniglio knew people at the VFW Hall through a family connection, which helped get the momentum for his project started. Planning the project, and going through many stages of approval, also takes a lot of time, and a lot of work.

“There is definitely some wait time,” he said. “You have to wait for emails, or even for getting supplies.”

Every project that gets proposed must go through someone at the Theodore Roosevelt Council of the BSA, which is the council that Cingilio’s troop is over-

“Every project that has to be reviewed goes through Cannon,” Pasqaule said.

“Every scout has to write up a proposal, and he tells (Cannon) what his ideas are.”

“They can totally recommend you to change stuff,” Ciniglio added. “But in my experience, I got approved, and the one thing he told me to do was just specify a little more detail.”

Ciniglio’s project is set to take place on Sept. 24, outside of the VFW Hall. Before then, he needs to fundraise, and a car wash for the purpose of doing just that, will take place at Advanced Auto Parts, located at 209 Sunrise Highway, Merrick on Sept. 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The funds raised will be used for getting materials needed to accomplish the project, his dad explained. Ciniglio will also accept donations of supplies or tools.

After the project is finished, there is still a lot of work to be done.

“From my knowledge, I know it does take a while,” Cingilio said. “I haven’t gone through it myself yet, but we’ll see.”

All of the work for the project gets compiled into an Eagle Binder.

“He has to bring it back to Cannon,” Pasquale explained. “He overlooks everything. And then they send it to Phoenix, the main place where they send all their paperwork. (In Phoenix), they’re the ones that determine if it’s approved or not.”

For Ciniglio, he said he’s really excited to see the work get done, and for people in the community to benefit from the project. “It’s weird, but (I want) to get it done, because I am a senior now, and if I leave it for later, it’s going to be very stressful doing it,” he explained. “It’s definitely something to look forward to.”

To see the renovations made to the building after Ciniglio’s project is complete, the VFW Hall is at 2400 Bedford Ave. in Bellmore.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Lu is new CIO at Northwell

Sophy Lu brings her 12 years of health system experience to Northwell Health, becoming the company’s new chief information officer. She succeeds the retiring John Bosco, who first took on that role in 2004.

Lu was once Northwell’s deputy CIO before becoming a senior vice president. She’ll oversee 1,900 team members and thousands of technological services.

“It’s gratifying to be able to proSophy Lu mote great candidates from within the health system,” said Michael Dowling, Northwell’s president and chief executive, in a release.

“While John Bosco left big shoes to fill, Sophy Lu is an outstanding leader in her field, and a logical choice for this key role.”

Lu joined Northwell in 2010, becoming chief applications officer seven years later. Before that, she was designing and building a liquified natural gas plant in Indonesia, as well as designing several air separation plants for the industrial gas industry.

She earned her degree in chemical engineering from Bucknell University in Pennsylvania.

DEC seeks comments on Hempstead village apartments

Neighbors around a planned apartment complex in the Village of Hempstead have a chance to share their comments about the projects over the next few weeks.

The state’s environmental conservation department is considering a brownfield cleanup application from Carman Place Apartments LLC — associated with Rochester developer Conifer Realty — for what is expected to be a 228-unit complex on the corner of Bedell, Columbia and Main streets.

The soil, groundwater and soil vapor have been contaminated over the years by a number of different businesses that have been located at the site, according to the developer.

That includes a dry cleaner, auto service station, and businesses that stored fuel oil in underground tanks.

The state program provides tax incentives for redevelopment of brownfields.

The developer has already secured some incentives through the Town of Hempstead’s Industrial Development Agency after pledging significant funds toward surrounding sewer and water infrastructure projects, matching state grants, according to published reports.

Apartment units there are said to be earmarked for families and individuals

making no more than $117,000 per year.

Comments on the brownfield program application are accepted through Oct. 8 by mailing to project manager Melissa Sweet, 625 Broadway, Albany, N.Y., 12233, or emailing her at melissa.sweet@dec.ny. gov. Comments also can be phoned in at (518) 402-9614.

The developer says it expects to have its brownfield remediation plan approved by the end of the year, and have it completed by next summer.

Schnepper joins guidance center board

Michael Schnepper — a partner in Rivkin Radler’s Commercial Litigation, Insurance Coverage and Insurance Fraud Practice Groups — has joined the board of directors for North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center.

Schnepper is a longtime supporter of the guidance center’s mission to bring hope and healing to children and families facing mental health challenges, according to a release. He has served as co-chair o f t h e c e n t e r ’s annual Jonathan Krevat Memorial Golf & Tennis ClasMichael Schnepper s i c f u n d r a i s i n g event.

“We feel extremely fortunate to have Michael joining us,” said Paul Vitale, the president of the guidance center’s board of directors, in a release.

“He has been a vital force in making the Krevat Cup a huge success year after year, and he approaches the role with enthusiasm, creativity, and a wonderful sense of humor.”

With three locations in Roslyn Heights, Manhasset and Westbury, the not-for-profit serves young people up to 24 years old when it comes to emotional well-being through diagnosis, treatment, prevention, training, parent education, and research and advocacy.

More money to help minority-owned businesses Ascend Long Island — a program supporting economic development in underserved parts of Nassau, Suffolk and Queens counties — has been infused with $850,000 in new funds from JPMorgan Chase, Suffolk County officials, and Northwell Health.

Launched in 2019, Ascend Long Island has received more than $2 million from Chase to date, providing management education to more than 50 Black and Latino small business entrepreneurs through Hofstra University, as well as market opportunity, and access to capital.

assau Community College’s football team will lean on a mix of returning starters and newcomers to lead the way this season.

The Lions were the No. 1-ranked NJCAA Division III program most of last season and are looking to get back to the championship game (Red Grange Bowl in Glen Ellyn, Illinois) after falling just short to DuPage, 34-29, after beating the Chaparrals by two points during the regular season.

“Last year was a challenge coming off the canceled 2020 Covid season, but I thought we handled it quite well,” Nassau CC head coach Jamel Ramsay said. “It was a tough ending. We were down pretty big at halftime, fought back to take the lead in the last minute but couldn’t hold on.

“We’re excited about the opportunity to return to that stage,” he added. “We have strong returning talent and I thought we added some nice pieces to fill voids.”

The Lions, who finished 6-4 last season, traditionally field a fierce defense and Ramsey believes the foundation is in place for the unit to thrive again.

Sophomores Jack Winey, Khristan Hernandez, Jordan Campbell and Jaylen Ware are all returning starters, while freshman Devyon Wright could prove the most significant newcomer.

Winey, a former standout at Lindenhurst High School, and Ware lead the linebacker corps. Both are returning starters who go sideline to sideline and excel at tackling, Ramsay said. “Jack was one of our defensive leaders last

year and came into camp in outstanding shape,” the coach noted. “Jaylen is similar. He’s a tough, strong kid.”

Hernandez is a shutdown cornerback who’ll get the toughest weekly assignment in the secondary, Ramsay said. “He’s not the biggest guy (5-foot-9) but he can go against big receivers and shut them down,” Ramsay said.

“He has great all-around skills and is one of our vocal leaders.”

Campbell will spearhead the pass rush from the edge and comes off an impressive first season. “I’m excited to see what he can do after last year,” Ramsay said.

Wright, from Dix Hills, is one of the defensive X-factors. He’s been dynamic in camp and will start at safety.

“He looks to be a force to be reckoned with,” Ramsay said.

Offensively, Ramsay is looking for the Lions to take things up a notch under the direction of new quarterback Luke Sprague, a transfer from LIU-Post. “He’s a tremendous pocket passer with an extremely strong arm,” Ramsay said. “We feel he’s someone who can elevate our offense to another level for the next two years.”

Sophomore John Beaubrun, a Valley Stream Central High School graduate, leads the receiver corps and is also a key on special teams as a return option. “John had some big catches and a handful of touchdowns last year,” Ramsay said. “He has good speed and hands and runs sharp routes.”

Versatile sophomore tight end Greg King, a 6-foot-4 target, also returns and will provide yardage through the air and blocking.

The feature running back is former Sewanhaka High School standout Brian Lowry. “He’s a tough downhill runner with deceptive speed,” Ramsay said. “He’s patient and strong and we’re looking for him to build on last year.”

Anchoring the offensive front is sophomore center Kwami Frimpong, a talented all-around lineman and a leader in the huddle. “He’s crucial to everything we do on offense,” said Ramsay, who is also counting on returning starting sophomores Shamar Riley (tackle) and Kasper Borawski (guard) to get the job done in the trenches.

The special teams legwork will be handled by kicker Thomas Zebransky and punter Nick George.

“We have a lot of challenges on the schedule that we’re pumped about,” Ramsay said.

Peer pressure

Getting your kids ready to face the challenge

By Chelle Cordero The first time you hold your child in your arms, you make promises to love, protect and always be there to guide him or her. Then reality intrudes.

Unfortunately for us and fortunately for them, things such as school force us to release our little ones for a while and put them in the care of teachers and school administrators, who must oversee several kids at once. Suddenly, our precious bundle faces a must-be-decided-now quandary and finds that mommy or daddy isn’t there to make all the decisions. Sometimes the situation is even scary. Challenges face our children in the form of peer pressure, drugs, sex and bullying.

Clinical psychologist and author Dr. John Duffy says: “Parents do need to talk with their kids about bullying, sex and peer pressure. Many parents I’ve worked with over the years will provide time for a lecture, often a one-time-only lecture. But they will often fail to provide time for ongoing discussion of these topics, which is what children really need. They need to know that we as parents are available to them as guides should they need help navigating the world of peer pressure.”

“I work with teens and tweens. They are at particular risk for peer pressure to participate in sexual activity, drink or smoke pot. Many are bullied in ways we could not have even imagined a generation ago (texting, social media). They need parents who can help them in real time.

The stronger the connection between parent and child the likelier a parent’s word will be heeded and the likelier a parent’s limits will be honored.”

When you have that all-important conversation, Dr. Fran Walfish recommends: “The most important thing your child or teen needs on his first day of school is to not feel lonely or isolated.

Talk with your kid about what it takes to be a good friend. Include what feels comfortable and what doesn’t. Teach your child to follow her instincts.”

“Most kids know right from wrong. Teach your kid to listen to his internal voice and follow his intuition, not the crowd. I would wait to discuss sex and cyber-bullying and other issues so as not to bombard and overwhelm your child before school starts. Too much talk can raise anxiety when your goal here is preparation and to reduce anxiety.”

Stay Involved — And Communicate Keeping the lines of communication open is vital. Your child needs to know that you are willing to listen, discuss his or her experiences and not judge. Learn to listen to your child; don’t just lecture him and assume he will do only what you’ve told him. Lead by example; it’s hard to persuade a child not to drink while you’re knocking back a frosty mug of beer. Make sure that your child is involved in activities that inspire a sense of belonging; being a vital member of a team will encourage her to feel good about herself. Make sure you know what television shows

and movies your child is seeing, and talk with him about the values and situations portrayed.

“I’d position it more as ‘making good choices’ versus ‘peer pressure,’ because big picture, if your kid makes good choices throughout life, he/she is setting himself/herself up for success,” advises Amy Kossoff Smith, founder of The MomTini Lounge. “I’d advocate sitting down before school to talk about your routine/expectations, and in that context, say that there will be

many opportunities to decide what is best for him/her and that you hope he/she will come to you for advice when needed and will make good choices, especially when presented with ideas or opportunities that may not lead to a good outcome.”

Photo: Peer pressure starts when kids are young, so it’s important to talk with your kids about it early.

Multi-service center prepares for the big day Continued from front page attention to the important cause. There is no skill needed.”

Pre-pandemic, the walk attracted upward of 500 people, Engel said. Currently, there are a number of people registered, and donations have started to come in, too.

“Our goal this year is $50,000,” Engel said. “In the past, we’ve definitely surpassed that.”

A big part of the crisis center’s work is helping those identify as part of the greater LGBTQ community. Engel has worked extensively in the past with the center’s LGBTQ+ youth organization, Pride for Youth. There is direct correlation between what the crisis center and Pride for Youth does because, Engel said, “suicide numbers are so high in the LGBTQ+ community.”

The crisis center has been hard at work preparing for the walk.

“We have paid staff working on it, and a lot of volunteers,” Slagg said.

“Everyone has worked really hard to make it happen. I know from our people — our staff and volunteers — we’re really excited to bring it back together.”

The Long Island Crisis Center was founded in 1971, and has spent the past half-century as a round-the-clock suicide prevention and crisis intervention center. It offers family counseling, support group, and various forms of health education.

the Long isLand Crisis Center’s annual suicide prevention walk is slated to return in-person on Sunday, Sept. 18, after a two-year hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Katz has volunteered as a counselor for five years, deciding to join after she retired from teaching. “I wanted to do so mething meaningful, that would give back,” she said. “It has really added a lot to my life.”

Volunteer counselors go through rigorous training, taking part in shadow calls with counselors already on the job.

Anyone interested in volunteering can call the crisis center’s business line at (516) 826-0244.

The National Suicide Prevention Hotline has simplified from what used to be a complicated 10-digit toll-free number to just 988.

“For people who are really in crisis and feeling suicidal, they don’t have to remember this long number,” Katz said, adding that “988 is a great thing.”

Phone numbers with a 516 area code are routed directly to the Long Island Crisis Center. If the Bellmore facility is backed up, another nearby center will intercept and lend a hand, Slagg said.

The Long Island Crisis Center rents space from the Bellmore Presbyterian Church, and its offices are just behind the sanctuary at 2740 Martin Ave. For more on the crisis center and the programs it offers, visit LongIslandCrisisCenter.org.

From press to print

Still ‘Wild About Harry’ Local musicians gather with fans of Harry Chapin for that rousing tribute to Chapin’s musical legacy postponed from its original date in July. Stuart Markus, with his band Gathering Time, are prepared to lead Long Island’s top musical talents in spirited renditions of Chapin’s many hits. It also will be livestreamed on the ‘Just Wild About Harry’ (The Harry Chapin Tribute Show) Facebook page and available for later viewing.

This year’s concert — the 19th annual, and 17th at the park — marks the 50th anniversary of the release of Chapin’s breakout hit ‘Taxi.’ As always, visitors are asked to bring donations of non-perishable food items to be collected by Long Island Cares.

ike everything else in our rapidly changing culture, artistic styles, technique and process continue to evolve. Such is the case with printmaking.

Hofstra University Museum of Art’s new exhibit, “Off the Press,” explores the relationship between the artist and the complexities of the printmaking craft.

“Our goal with all our exhibits is to make our permanent collection accessible to the public,” says Karen Albert,the museum’s director and curator. “And one of the big strengths of our collection (5,200 pieces in all) is the print collection.”

A print, in the broadest definition, is a work of art composed of ink on paper created through an indirect transfer process. Four major printmaking methods have developed over the centuries: relief, intaglio, and the planographic techniques of lithography and screenprinting.

“Printmakers may choose When: between methods to produce a Now, through Jan. 27 distinct type of image or line quality,” Where: Albert explains.”Artists will choose David Filderman Gallery, 9th the technique based on how they floor of the Joan and Donald want the final image to look. This E. Axinn Library, Hofstra exhibition will give viewers insight University’s South Campus into how and why such artistic For information, and to choices are made.”

RSVP to reception, call Visitors can view 30 prints — (516) 463-5672 or visit works dating from the late 16th Hofstra.edu/museum century to the 21st — by Romare Bearden, Helen Frankenthaler, Henry Moore, Alison Saar and Andy Warhol, among otherss. A woodblock and copper etching plate are also on display.

“It’s helpful to get an understanding of the process to see how it’s made,” Albert says. “How ink sits on a plate and how it’s transferred is different. Also notice the image is reversed, it’s the opposite of what it is on the plate.”

The works on view are small sampling of the museum’s collection of more than 2,200 prints in a range of media and processes, Albert says. “What you’re seeing are essentially all my favorites.”

Of particular note, she cites Romare Bearden’s “The Family” for his use of tinting and photo engraving. And Henry Moore’s “13 Standing Figures,” which visually relates to a sculpture that resides on Hofstra’s South Campus.

Woodcuts, the oldest form of printmaking, appeared in fifth century Chinese art, and in Europe since the 15th century. Early prints — most commonly woodcuts, wood engravings and metal plate engravings — were often produced to provide illustrations for publications and, in the hierarchy of artists, printmakers were considered “lesser than” painters and sculptors.

European and American artists began experimenting with printmaking in the late 19th to early 20th century. More recent decades saw the establishment of printmaking studios, where well-

known artists created new and innovative prints. As techniques have evolved — especially now with digital technology — artists have pushed the boundaries of traditional printmaking. Many contemporary artists view their graphic work as an integral part of their oeuvre and, for some, it is their primary expressive medium.

The public is invited to the exhibit’s opening reception at the Emily Lowe Gallery on Thursday, Sept. 8 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The reception includes remarks

by Albert and refreshments.

The Struts The U.K. glam rock powerhouse visits Long Island ready to rock ‘n’ roll. The Struts have been massively embraced by some of the greatest icons in rock history. Along with opening for Foo Fighters, The Rolling Stones and Guns N’ Roses, the band was handpicked by Mötley Crüe as the supporting act for their last-ever performances.

They’ve toured incessantly since their formation, including worldwide headline shows and major festivals like Lollapalooza, Governors Ball and Isle of Wight.

Baker, Lippai and Laursen, at the time, were the three active board members of the Historical Society of the Merricks. The group plans to resume meetings this month.

Historical Society of the Merricks to resume meetings, and address some upcoming initiatives

T

he Historical Society of the Merricks will resume meetings this month, as it looks ahead to future endeavors, and seeks new members interested in joining.

The Historical Society’s Acting President Joe Baker shared last week that a newly appointed board member will soon be overseeing the society’s operations.

John Pinto, from Merrick, will be nominated for the position of president, and has agreed to take on the role.

Last fall, the society’s former president Larry Garfinkel died, and in the interim, Baker has been trying to rally support to have the orginal Merrick Library become a one- or two-room museum. The building is currently owned and maintained by the Merrick Union Free School District.

“I spoke the superintendent of schools, Dominic Palma, and he’s in agreement, but he said (the decision) is not up to him,” Baker explained. “It is up to the res-

idents, to be voted on, with a referendum.”

The museum proposal was covered by the Herald in February, and Baker said residents that read the article are excited to see what can be done. Inside the building, the Historical Society already has some artifacts.

As the Historical Society continues to pursue the proposal, Baker said he’s confident in Pinto’s ability to lead the group.

“We need someone that’s really talented with the history of Merrick — someone that’s really, really interested in digging and finding out answers to many questions that may come up,” he said. “I find that someone to be John Pinto.”

The Historical Society of the Merricks will meet on Sept. 6, at the Merrick Golf Course Clubhouse, at 2550B Clubhouse Road, Merrick. All residents are welcome to attend, Baker said, and can call (516) 978-8310 for more information.

I’ve always wondered why people in your situation aren’t given a more thorough explanation of all the things needed for a permit. Code words like “sketch,” “expedite” and “simple,” along with phrases like “all you need is a permit,” or “you just …” are misleading. Making a much more complicated process seem so simple that peoonte eeper ple have a false sense of what is needed only adds stress and mistrust to the problem when a licensed individual is trying to get you through this legal procedure. Couple this with the knowledge of codes, structure and pitfalls that a seasoned professional must apply, and you may have a better sense of how you got pulled into a much more involved situation than you were told about and why it costs more than you assumed.

For example, there are many regulations for sleeping spaces and bathrooms, such as means of escape, minimum space size, plumbing requirements and use. In most jurisdictions, the extra bedroom has been used as a non-permitted rental, so the examiner of the plans, not the inspector you met, may have a policy to first get proof that you are not illegally renting the space. If you have a door to the outside from the room, for example, they will require that it be substituted with a window or blocked entirely with wall materials, meaning that you have some remedial construction to do.

I’m working with a few files right now where the owners didn’t know that the ceiling heights are lower than allowed by state building code, so, in addition to applying for a building permit, we are in a multi-month processes of first applying for a building code variance. This requires much more documentation, time and cost to the owner that the inspector might have noticed and said something about when they saw the spaces in question, but the owner wasn’t made aware of it. The owner was also only told they needed an architect or engineer and a sketch. This creates the false sense that the much more complicated process was simple when it wasn’t, and left the licensed professional to look like the enforcer of the law and “the bad guy,” possibly trying to rack up more fees.

Q. We were told by a building inspector that we need a permit for making our garage into a bedroom and bathroom. He gave us 10 days to “respond.” He told us we just need an architect to file a sketch of the room; he would even help us expedite the permit. We called around and are being told some crazy things and high costs to prepare the sketch. Why are we being told we need all these things, like a survey, a possible Sandy repair permit, an energy report, etc.?

The inspector didn’t say we needed any of this. Who’s telling us the truth? We’re so confused.

opinions

any of our institutions are failing us, and unless our faith in their competence and fairness is restored, I think we’re doomed. Institutions from Congress, to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to the upper echelons of the Justice Department and FBI, from officials in Albany, the postal service, district attorney offices, and in some public-school systems and colleges, institutions created by the people to serve the people seem obsessed with serving themselves and not JoHn with doing a competent, not to meno’ConnELL tion great job.

Policies that are clearly destructive of good community order and safety — like the laissez-faire repeated release of violent criminals back to the streets — are imposed on citizens whose objections are ignored. Not only do such anti-civilization, get-out-of-jail-free policies further victimize us, they also erode our confidence in the institutions we thought existed for our benefit.

Abhor or admire him, Donald Trump was elected in 2016 in major part because most voters craved a return to competence after years of pedantic lectures but

i

no achievement. Many of us think we’ve returned to wondering if anyone knows what they’re doing.

Politicians aren’t the only ones undermining our confidence in institutions.

Since Covid-19 attacked us from Wuhan, China, we’ve looked to our public health organizations for reliable information. We understood that such a novel virus would make immutable guidance impossible. Faced with something so complicated and so new, we all accepted that scientists would need time to gather and analyze data before they could define the pandemic, predict its progress and develop vaccines and treatments.

What bothered so many of us is the supreme arrogance of the government’s public health community in the face of its amazing incompetence.

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge,” said historian Daniel Boorstin (it may have been Stephen Hawking).

The Communicable Disease Center, the predecessor of the CDC, was formed in 1946. The CDC’s mission, according to its website, is to work “24/7 to protect America from health, safety and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S. Whether diseases start at home or abroad, are chronic or acute, curable or prevent-

i

able, human error or deliberate attack, CDC fights disease and supports communities and citizens to do the same. CDC increases the health security of our nation. As the nation’s health protection agency, CDC saves lives and protects people from health threats.” It had 76 years of experience to prepare for what to do if a highly contagious virus started killing Americans.

In the 1880s, Congress commissioned the Marine Hospital Service with examining passengers on arriving ships for signs of infectious diseases in order to prevent epidemics. To specialize in that work, the MHS set up a small lab (on Staten Island), which would grow to be known as the National Institutes of Health. So the NIH has had about 130 years learning how to use medical science and best public health practices to prevent viral illnesses from becoming pandemics that might kill millions.

And yet in the winter of 2020 Americans had the impression that the CDC and the NIH didn’t know what the hell they were doing, even though they condescendingly acted like know-it-alls. That was a disastrous blow to our respect for those institutions. Worse than that was a suspicion that their leaders, Drs. Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins, knew more

nstitutions have only ever been as competent as the people in them and who lead them.

about China’s infectious disease research than they were letting on. It’s hard to tell what’s worse: Thinking our institutions are incompetent, or suspecting they’re hiding the whole truth from us.

Less critical than a bungling government and inept disease-control regime, there are other examples of once reliable and now ineffective institutions. Are you getting your mail as regularly and accurately delivered as you once did? How do you assess the common sense and general intelligence of most college grads you deal with on a daily basis? Do they inspire you with confidence in the future? When you deal with a business in person or by phone do you feel like they know what they’re doing? When you read supposedly fact-based articles in newspapers do you quickly see the bias or advocacy going on?

Do you think new fellow employees are less able than the ones they replaced?

What other examples of incompetence do you frequently encounter?

Institutions have only ever been as competent as the people in them and who lead them. It’s up to us to demand that our federal, state, county, local and school district institutions act competently. It’s up to people who call themselves journalists to discover and report the unbiased whole truth, without trading that truth for access to those institutions. It’s up to us to vote.

A remedy for TB (Trump Burnout): the beach

was thinking of redacting my column in the spirit of the moment. I spent all morning waiting for the redacted version of the warrant authorizing the search of Mar-a-Lago to drop and so it has, and so what?

This endless cycle of “breaking news” doesn’t actually advance our knowledge of how and when Donald Trump might be held accountable for any alleged crimes. Will he ever pay for his egregious misbehavior and the immorality which has stained our standing in the world? He is not going away. And RAnDi neither are his KREiss people. I can tell by the dread in my heart.

We must find our own peace of mind and cultivate our own sources of comfort as we support our democracy. As Labor Day approaches, we need to grab what’s left of summer and head to the beach.

This is what we can do for ourselves as human beings living in challenging times Long Islanders are truly blessed with a natural remedy for stress since most of us

are within driving distance of open water.

Battered by the sights and sounds of real life, we go to the ocean to recharge our batteries.

I flee, escaping television, the internet, the book banning, the war raging in Ukraine, the suffocating heat across the land, and of course the hair ball of Trumpism that is entangling some very bright and should-have-known-better officials in a nest of lies and conspiracy. Most thinking Americans are concerned about our security and standing in the world. We are worried all over again about women’s reproductive rights, racism, gun control and nothing less than the stability of our democracy.

We have become addicted to “breaking news” that intrudes on our phones or beams out from televisions. We don’t want to hear it and we can’t stay away.

The Mar-a-Lago search warrant is one of hundreds of hyped up turns of events in the unfolding story of the Trump years. The man has taken up residence in people’s minds, pushing out benign stuff like recipes and happy vacations and memories of leaders we have respected

W

and even loved.

A reliable antidote to Trump is escape into nature.

School days are approaching; if it’s Thursday, it must be soccer practice or extra help classes, or ballet or orthodontist or religious school or play dates or flu shots or ... hopefully ... therapy appointments. It’s all about lists and checking off items and jumping into the car or onto the computer or back to the market for something you forgot.

Our homes need to be ready for cold weather ahead. Folks are thinking about cutting back the garden and checking the oil burner.

We can do what we have to do, and still walk the beach for a reboot.

All over again I wonder at the deep, glorious expanse of white sand stretching down to the surf. This week the sun was brilliant in a blue sky studded with darling puffs of white. Oil tankers rode the horizon. The waves were lively, crashing around the rock jetties. I walked along the beach and took notice of everything I could hear: my rubber soles scuffing on the sand, the cawing of the seabirds roost-

e have become addicted to ‘breaking news’ that intrudes on our phones or beams out from televisions.

ing around me, a jet leaving a ghost trail overhead.

A few people, widely scattered, were enjoying the day. One lone fisherman stood out on the rocks. The scene was solitary; the heartbeat slowed, the mind quieted and I felt like my better self as I set new footprints into the sand.

At the tip of one jetty someone had placed a large American flag, which was tattered by the wind. If I knew how to write music, I would have composed an anthem from that image.

It was a perfect experience. Isn’t this the most we can hope for—to leave our worries behind or at least set them aside for a while- and immerse ourselves in a setting of peace and beauty? It is the timelessness of the beach, the endless rhythms of the tide that remind us how beautiful and big this earth is and how relatively small our concerns are.

Man, how lucky to live near the beaches that curl around Long Island like strands of pearls. And this is the best season to get out there. If you are reading this on Long Island, there is a beach somewhere not too far away.

Suffering from TB? Head to the shore.

Assemble ingredients. Mix well. Enjoy.

S

ummers are for beaches, barbecues and outdoor concerts. But for Faye, each and every day of her summers during her college years were spent inside a hot factory, pushing a button many times over.

It was tedious, but it came with a paycheck. One that, by the time her summer was over, she could fund just about every single cent of the upcoming fall and spring semesters toward her goal of shaping young minds as an elementary school teacher.

And here she was, in front of a class of students, sharing her tenacity. Her persistence.

Except this was the early 1980s. A time when tuition, fees, room and board cost just under $3,000 for the whole year — a little more than $10,000 in today’s money.

But that’s not the same for teachers walking into our classrooms today as fall classes begin — not just across Nassau County, but across the country.

That number is now just under $29,000, according to the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, as reported by Forbes last spring. While those numbers haven’t moved too much since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, they’ve certainly climbed significantly over the past 40 years — nearly three times the rate of inflation.

Going to college is supposed to prepare our best young minds for the future.

Instead, it creates significant burdens, with recent graduates carrying debts with them in six figures, many times before they even buy their first car, let alone their first house.

letterS Veterans, too, need to learn to teach To the Editor: OMG! I read Randi Kreiss’s column “Florida Gov. DeSantis: teachers need to be educated” (Aug. 11-17), about allowing veterans to teach in Florida classrooms.

Like Randi, I am a retired teacher, having completed all the requirements necessary for teachers in New York state. That anyone, including our veterans, would have the nerve to accept this position and stand up in front of 25 impressionable children and think he/she can teach without having had the methods courses or the hands-on student teaching experience is simply arrogant. It says that my degrees in education are unnecessary.

Do they know how to write a lesson plan? Do they know how to handle class-

Student loans are typically structured to only be present for the first 10 years of a graduate’s career. But a 2013 study by One Wisconsin Institute say that is more like the first 21 years of a career. That means many college graduates are helping to secure student loans for their kids, while still paying off their own.

It’s a “circle of life” that shouldn’t even exist. Yet it does. And whether we are product of colleges from the 1980s or today, it affects each and every one of us.

For one, the number of high school seniors choosing college after graduation is dropping. Just 15.9 million pursued undergraduate degrees in 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences.

That’s from a peak of 18.1 million in 2010, and has steadily declined ever since.

Yet, more than $1.6 trillion in student loans remain outstanding for 45 million people, according to the White House.

That’s an average of $36,000 per student.

Such a debt load also makes it harder for new college graduates to get started on their own, independent lives. In fact, more than half of college students surveyed by Pew Research Center said they were back home living with their parents in late 2020 — the highest percentage since the Great Depression. Sure, we could blame Covid-19, but those numbers were already past 47 percent and climbing even before the pandemic.

Yet, the federal government’s plan to forgive up to $20,000 in student debt for anyone not among the super-wealthy is wrong — not because it’s wiping away student debt, but because it’s not wiping

away enough of it.

President Biden’s own numbers paint a horrifying picture for America’s postsecondary education system. The cost of a public four-year university has skyrocketed nearly 200 percent since 1980, but federal aid through Pell Grants has grown just 20 percent.

In 1980, Pell Grants could offset 75 percent of your total college expenses. Now? It’s barely 30 percent. That’s not how a country makes education a priority — and it’s certainly not how a country remains a superpower.

This grant forgiveness isn’t a handout.

It’s simply our government trying to catch up on the commitment made to each and every young person so many years ago. That means ensuring public funding is there while controlling costs at public universities. And at the very least, make community college free.

Even the Founding Fathers felt education was essential in ensuring democracy, although it would take decades to establish broad-access public schools for children. In 1910, just one out of every 10 people had high school diplomas. Today, it’s above 90 percent.

Investing in education makes a difference — but so does not investing in education. Except that creates the kind of difference we’d rather not experience.

Faye was able to fund her college by not only pressing a button over and over again at a factory all summer long, but because of Washington’s commitment to her education.

Biden’s move on restoring that commitment is a start, but there’s still a long way to go.

opinions

s election season heats up, we are once again hearing the same worn-out message parroted by Democrats hoping to get elected. You know it: “I support access to quality, affordable health care.” But no one ever questions why health care should be this way.

Because as far as I can see, health care shouldn’t just be affordable. It should be free.

Under rare circumstances, like in rural areas of the country, getting access to health care is genuinely difficult. mAttHew There are situain which AdAricHev tions there is a real shortage of doctors, and they must be addressed. But for the vast majority of Americans, the real barrier to health care is its prohibitively high cost.

You have “access” to health care in the same way you have “access” to a Lamborghini. What’s stopping you? Go get one!

Clearly, the problem isn’t supply; the cars are there. It’s the fact that for most Americans, it’s way too expensive.

The difference is, you can live without a Lambo, but you can’t live without health care.

When did the idea that we should pay for necessary medical procedures become accepted? It’s as barbaric as demanding payment to breathe air. And the concept of affordability is completely subjective.

A million-dollar procedure is affordable to a billionaire, but for those who live in poverty, coughing up a couple of thousand dollars a year — or even a couple of hundred — for bare-bones private insurance is onerous.

I’m not suggesting that our good, hardworking doctors work for free. Rather, we ought to provide everyone in the country with universal health care through a single-payer program.

Everyone would pay into a pool, and the government would use that money to pay doctors for treatment.

The list of potential benefits is long. If you lost your job, you wouldn’t lose your health insurance. Small businesses wouldn’t have to bear the enormous cost of employee health care. Unions would no longer have to negotiate for health care benefits; 100 percent coverage would finally be achieved; and we would no longer lose 45,000 Americans a year due to a lack of health insurance.

The program would also save us money. A study from Yale University estimated that a single-payer system would save us $450 billion per year. Another

B

ecause as far as I can see, health care shouldn’t just be affordable. It should be free.

Letters room issues, discipline and difficulties?

Will they stay up at night tweaking the next day’s lesson to make it even better?

Will they create hands-on lessons? Can they do the new math required (or maybe not required in Florida) of elementary school children, and will they teach history the way it happened? Oh, I forgot — books have been censored or removed in that state.

My guess is that the children in Florida will be deprived of a decent education, which will render them ignorant and eventually produce the next generation of voters DeSantis wants. My blood is still boiling.

JANE GLUCKMAN Rockville Centre

The high court ‘took no one’s rights away’ To the Editor: Ilana Greenberg’s column in the Aug.

study, from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, put the price tag of singlepayer at just under $3 trillion, compared with the $4.1 trillion the American Medical Association estimated we spent on health care in 2020, meaning single-payer could save us $22 trillion over 20 years.

Of course, there are concerns about higher taxes.

Frankly, I wouldn’t mind paying higher taxes if it meant that my fellow Americans would receive the care they needed. But call it whatever you want. You already pay “taxes” to private insurance companies in the form of premiums, copays and deductibles.

And when expensive emergency services are utilized for preventable health problems, you foot part of the bill.

Contrary to popular opinion, government programs are extremely efficient.

Social Security spends less than 1 percent of its budget on administration, and Medicare spends 2 percent, compared with a low estimate of 17 percent among private insurers, who spend many of your “tax” dollars on profits and marketing rather than health care.

A final worry is, “Would I lose my existing health insurance?” No. It’s a precarious time in America right now, but no one’s coverage would be taken away.

Your current health insurance would be phased into the new plan over several years, during which you could still access services.

The path forward is clear: We need to move toward a single-payer system in the U.S. It will save money, lives, nerves, and a whole lot of paperwork. Luckily, we don’t need to move forward alone. We can look to our Pacific ally, Taiwan, which already has an outstanding single-payer system. Taiwan has a higher life expectancy, a lower infant mortality rate and a lower maternal mortality rate — all for less than we spend in the U.S. If you want to reform our brutal health care system, find and call your state senator at nysenate.gov/find-mysenator. There is legislation that has passed the Assembly called the New York Health Act, which would enact singlepayer in New York state. Contact your U.S. representative as well, or call Sen. Chuck Schumer, at (202) 224-6542, or Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, at (202) 224-4451.

Remind them that single-payer is a policy supported by a majority of Americans.

Health care policy shouldn’t be about providing “access to quality, affordable health care.” It should be about providing quality health care, period.

18-24 issue, “Scientists grapple with meaning of life.

Why should judges?” was well thought out and insightful. She walked the fine line between sides. She pointed out that the goalposts are always changing with the science, and that judges may not be the best people to make that determination. I agree — but her argument fell flat when she discussed the recent Supreme Court decision.

Greenberg states, “the Supreme Court should not infringe on my personal right to make that choice.” My understanding is that the court took no one’s rights away.

It ruled that the “right” to an abortion is not based in the Constitution, and that any laws about abortion should come from the people, through their state or federal representatives. So the court didn’t take Greenberg’s rights away; it put those rights back into her hands!

What is she going to do about it?
