Nothing says “back to school” like a fresh new back pack filled with carefully selected supplies. But with inflation and the growing costs of said supplies, the task becomes much harder. Thanks to East Meadow Kiwanis, roughly 160 kids in the East Meadow School Dis trict will have a new back pack with everything they need. Members young and old gathered at Coldwell Banker American Homes on Hemp stead Turnpike last week to assemble them. “I’ve seen the generosity go up over the years,” said Jenni fer Reinhardt, president of East Meadow Kiwanis. “Any time that we do this, the com munity comes together — the businesses, organizations — I’m always so floored at the generosity of our communi ty.”
The idea for this fundrais er came from a similar project Reinhardt participated in at the ABC television network. Reinhardt created this “Pack a Backpack” drive with cochairs Diane Krug and Donna Goldstein. The idea struck to create one in East Meadow in 2020 once the summer was winding down, and they were looking for more ways to get involved in the community. The club gets a list from

By MALLORY WILSON mwilson@liherald.com n his journey to Eagle Scout rank, 15-year-old Boy Scout Nathan Kavoor had to com plete his life project, and he chose to beautify his East Meadow com munity.Onthe corner of Bellmore Avenue and North Jerusalem Road sits an area of land left completely to nature. The only added addition is an elevated berm site with some soil and greenery. “We’re here to clean up this berm, and we’re getting rid of all of the weeds,” said Nathan, who joined the troop about six years ago. “It’s some thing that’s good for everyone and it’s good to help out the commu nity.”The Council of East wood.theoriginallyinadoptedOrganizationsCommunityMeadowtheland1993whenitbuiltbermoutofJoseph Parisi, the current president of CEMCO, and then-legislator Norma Gonsalves, got the money to build the berm. “They planted perennials, the bushes and they had a cherry tree on top,” Scoutmaster of Troop 362 Jim Surless said. “But unfortunately the tree fell.” The last big cleanup of the area was in 2018 when Parisi, Gonsalves, and Frank Camarano landscaped the foliage, installed weed barriers and constructed the stone wall. It was Nathan’s turn and he wanted to weed out whatever needed to discarded.“He’spracticing his project skills, earning community service hours and doing his job,” Surless said. “His job is to run the project and communicate with the necessary people, and organize mate rials and get help.” There is a workbook that Nathan had to follow in order to successfully com plete his project and earn his badge. This is a smaller version of what his Eagle Scout project will be, and it helps him learn what it takes to manage a larger service project. Surless said that the troop and scoutmasters typically help the scouts prepare themselves. Nathan started planning his project by reaching out to Parisi in the middle of July, but there’s typically no timeframe for a project like this, according to Sur less. It’s up to the scout to get his materi als, set a date and rain date, make a flyer, and get everyone together. “We had to prepare food and refresh ments, we had to have a sign in sheet, and some safety measures,” Nathan said. “I had to ask other scouts to help me too.”It takes about two years to get from this level in the Boy Scouts to Eagle Scout. It’s not just planning projects. There are a number of merit badges a scout like Nathan has to earn. He has to be active in the troop and has to help other people as well with their projects.
The safety plan is reviewed by the Dis trict-Wide Safety Committee, which is made up of representatives of the school board, parent organizations, teachers, administrators, school safety personnel, local law enforcement and emergency agencies.Thecommittee meets four times a year, and their job is to discuss the safety plan and make recommendations for updates if needed.

“Invariably whenever I share this someone will ask this question, ‘well you know the other day I was at the high school and I entered through the side door,’ and my question back to the person who shares that to me is always this, ‘did you notify somebody that you were able to enter through that side door?” Card said at the meeting. “Usually it’s not until after the fact when something happens tragic that people remember to tell us we were able to get through a side door.

Blue strobe lights are coming to high schools in mid-fall to alert students and staff who are out to lunch to not come back because something is happening inside the school building. Other safety measures included “Park Walk and Talk” by local officers, a pro gram where they come to the school for regular visits, and each school practicing drills (fire drills, bus drills, sheltering and early dismissal, and lockdown). Card also talked about the differences between the five emergency response code designations: shelter in place, hold in place, evacuate, lockout and lockdown. “It’s very confusing if you don’t work in a school building and if it’s not part of your everyday communication,” Board member Jodi Luce said. “A lockout is external, normal movement throughout the building. Lockdown is internal, every body stays in their room, they take cover in their room, external and internal locks go into place.” A lockdown, Card added, will never be called unless there is an active shooter in the building.

“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 attention to the important cause. There is no skill Pre-pandemic,needed.”
By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com eptember is Suicide Prevention Month, and for the first time in since the start of the coronavi rus pandemic, the Long Island Crisis Center will raise money and aware ness — simply by walking. Its 14th annual event, “Let’s Walk, Let’s Talk-Stepping Together to Prevent Sui cide,” 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 to help protect its par ticipants from Covid-19.Sinceits first journey in 2009, the crisis center walk has provid ed a chance for people to come together and raise awareness for suicide pre vention, said Debra Katz, a vol unteer counselor for the center’s crisis hotline. Many use the day as an opportunity to forhavethoseremembertheymaylost.“Ithinkthat,peoplewho 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,” KatzAndsaid.there is always strength in num bers, said Tawni Engel, the crisis center’s associate executive director. “We’re all coming from this like-mind ed place of wanting to support one anoth er,” said Engel, who worked her way from an intern in 2008 to her current leader ship role about a year ago. “It’s a somber day, but we try to keep it upbeat.”Thewalk’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 var ious organization. The morning program also honors the crisis center’s person of the year, and feature speeches about sui cideTheawareness.walkitself 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 any one to walk the entire time.
A big part of the crisis center’s work is helping those identify as part of the great er 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, “sui cide numbers are so high in the LGBTQ+ community.”Thecrisis center has been hard at work preparing for the walk.

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

“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 quarter back Luke Sprague, a transfer from LIU-Post. “He’s a tre mendous 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.”
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.
Sophomores Jack Winey, Khristan Hernandez, Jordan Campbell and Jaylen Ware are all returning starters, while freshman Devyon Wright could prove the most sig nificantWiney,newcomer.aformer 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-fac tors. He’s been dynamic in camp and will start at safety.
“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.”

Stay Involved — And Communicate Keeping the lines of communication open is vital. Your child needs to know that you are will ing 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 knock ing 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 her self. 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/expec tations, 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 out come.”

Peer pressure Getting your kids ready to face the challenge BACK TO 1182128
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 chil dren 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 pro vide 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 bul lied 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 conversa tion, 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 dis cuss 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.”

Once the backpacks are done, they get dropped off at the Leon Campo Salisbury Cen ter, where they are then distributed to students who need them. Supplies come from all over, Rein hardt said. The New York Islanders donated 100 folders, 100 notebooks and 100 packages containing 19 differ ent school supply items. The East Meadow Fire Department donated 400 filled baggies to be put into the backpacks. Sunrise Assisted Living of East Meadow donated supplies as well.Apart from donations, the club received a $1,776 grant from the Kiwanis Children’s Fund in order to keep the fundraiser going. Clubs can apply for help with specific projects. In their application, the East Meadow Kiwanians talked about the impor tance of getting a child off to a great start in school, and how they were partnering with different organiza tions to make that happen. “This isn’t just a fundraiser, it’s a way to directly help the kids. And we’re all about the children,” said Kiwanian Kevin Kamper. “Kids need Kiwanis, so wherever there is a need to fill, we try to fill it.” Especially with how much the cost of school supplies has gone up over the past year, he added. “So, this is a way for a child to not have to worry on the first day of school if they have the tools they need to succeed,” Kamper said. The cost of school supplies has jumped more than 25 percent since 2017, according to the National Retail Federation and Prosper Insights & Analytics. Five years ago, a typical household would spend $688. Today, it’s more than $860 with overall spending growing from $29.5 billion to $36.9 “Thebillion.costof supplies has gone up so much, binders in particular,” Rein hardt said. “You’re definitely seeing inflation in this.” The federation’s survey showed stationery items went up nearly 22 percent, boys and girls supplies rose 10 percent, and costs for educational books and supplies rose nearly 5 per cent.“I think it is important to make sure every kid is not excluded if they don’t have the means to have the things they need for school,” said Taleen Krug, another Kiwanian vol unteer. “This helps so many different kids in so many different schools in East“YouMeadow.never want to not have what everybody else has, and it’s really nice when people can donate and get items to people who need them.”

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.

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.
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-

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 between methods to produce a distinct type of image or line quality,” Albert explains.”Artists will choose the technique based on how they want the final image to look. This exhibition will give viewers insight into how and why such artistic choices are made.” Visitors can view 30 prints — works dating from the late 16th 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.

Shortly after its inception, the Civil Air Patrol sank two U-boats off the coasts of Long Island and Delaware. After World War II, the air patrol creat ed its cadet program, which was intended for teenagers who were interested in avia tion. The air patrol was eventually claimed by the newly created Air Force as its auxiliary, and the cadet program grew popular.Onesquadron of the cadet program is based at St. Jude’s Episcopal Church in Wantagh. According to Rick Gomez-Nieto, the program leader, the Civil Air Patrol conducts up to 90 percent of search and rescue operations in the continental Unit ed States, but thanks to Long Island’s stel lar volunteer services, the program is largely a training program.

The cadets are rewarded for their com munity service with the opportunity to fly airplanes.

The Civil Air Patrol offers much more to cadets than community service and flight lessons. Meetings include history, robotic, aeronautical, and airplane struc ture lessons. The cadet program also fol lows a ranking system similar to that of the Air Force itself, beginning at airman and rising in rank to colonel.

Now, Kruter said, as the league looks ahead to the winter, it was informed by the school districts they’d issue permits for gymnasium use once again. In the past, clinics were only offered to younger players in BMBB, and the league found that older children were missing out on the additional instruction that could help improve their overall skills. Partnering with the instructional basket ball group Progressive Hoops, which is led by former Division 1 basketball player Steadman Short, clinics will now be offered to middle school and high school students that take part in the league. Registration is now open online at BMBB.org, Kruter said. It can also be mailed to P.O. Box 364, Bellmore. The league is a non-profit organization, and Kruter’s sporting goods store, Lifestyle Sports in Wantagh, provides uniforms. People are registering their children, Kruter said, and the league has recruited some new volunteers. Kruter added his commitment to the league is because he understands the importance of youth sportingThoughorganizations.theleagueis treading into some uncertainty, it is looking forward to having another successful season starting in November.Formoreinformation on the clinics, visit Progressive Hoops Instagram page, @Progressive.

By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com or indoor sporting leagues like Bellmore Merrick Basketball, the coronavirus pandemic has creat ed some challenges when it comes to maintaining the league but also keeping kids and parents safe. Despite the challenges, Bellmore Mer rick Basketball has remained a fixture in the community, thanks to some decisions made by its leaders to move the league to outdoor courts. Now, as the league gets ready for the upcoming 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 for 27 years, he said, at many dif ferent levels of volunteering. All three of his children played in the league. “The league has always been promoted as a non-competitive, community league,” KruterPre-pandemic,said. the league’s normal sea son ran from November through March. Kindergarteners and first grade students participate in clinics, which teach the fun damentals of playing the game, and once kids enter the second-grade, regular league play, with approximately 12 to 14 games, begins and continues through twelfth grade. The 2019-20 season was the last time BMBB had an indoor season, though it was cut short due to the pandemic. At the time, 800 children were playing in the league.Bythe following spring of 2021, Kruter said the league needed to do something to ensure it wouldn’t fold. Working with the Town of Hempstead, BMBB received permits to use the courts at Newbridge Road Park in South Bell more. It was able to have a spring, summer and short fall season in 2021, and again, a spring and summer season this year. About 400 kids participated in the outdoor programming, Kruter said. The move outdoors led to some changes — indoors, games are played on a fullcourt structure. When it moved outdoors, limited space caused the league to pivot to a half-court structure. Despite the chang es, Kruter said, the shift outdoors was well received by parents. “The parents were very thankful,” he said. “We were able to get the kids out there.”

Is talking to an “empty chair” a whacko thing to do or an effective thera peutic technique to help you resolve unfinished business? The “empty chair” technique, popularized by Fritz Perls, the founder of Gestalt therapy, helps people move from just talking about their con flicts to experiencing them in the moment. What a difference that makes — akin to the difference between talking about sex and experiencing it! Imagine speaking to someone sitting in that empty chair, saying everything you wanted to say without worrying about hurting their feelings, mincing your words, or regretting anything. Great release! Yet this technique isn’t designed to be simply cathartic. It’s designed to help you resolve relationship issues that still haunt you. So imagine sitting in an empty chair and across from you is your neme sis. Let’s say it’s your mom. After all, it’s always one thing or a mother. Visualize her facial expression, the look in her eyes, her bodily posture. You’re still upset about her unfair treatment of you. Let it all out! Now move to the empty chair. “Be” your mother. Imagine she takes in what you just said. What’s her response? Do you get raked over the coals again? Or does she finally understand you? Do you receive that long-awaited apology? Or are you now aware that she’ll never get it? If that’s true, you must work on let ting go of all those resentments that still weigh heavily on you. With your psychol ogist’s active assistance, you move back and forth between the chairs to gain a deeper appreciation of the struggles plaguing you and learn to let them go. Empty chair work also helps you if you’re at war with yourself. Yes, a part of your personality you may embrace whereas another part you may spurn. Perhaps, you hate your insecurities. Now, sit in one of the empty chairs. Describe yourself as the smart, savvy person you are. Then move to the empty chair to “act out” the insecure part of you, the part that doesn’t believe you can do it. Lay it on. Yup, it’s embarrassing but it’s part of you. Create a dialogue between these two parts. Listen to how smart you are; listen to how stupid you feel. Instead of deriding there’snowpersonalityaspectsappreciateyou’lldialoguesurvive.hasEmbraceson.thereknowinsecurity,yourthatit’sforareaRespectit.it.IthelpedyouContinuetheandbegintoofyouryoudetest.Yes,areason for your insecurities. As you integrate your warring parts, your smart self will prevent your insecure self from getting the upper hand. Mean while, your insecure self will ensure that your smart self doesn’t get in over her head.The empty chair technique may also help you understand the meaning of your dreams. Rather than trying to intel lectually interpret your dream, you act it out like it’s a drama you created — which it is. You’re the director, choreographer, stage designer, and all the characters in your dream. An example: you arrive home to find a man threatening you with a knife. You want to run away, but you’re paralyzed with fear. You can’t scream for help. You’re just standing there, petri fied. What could this dream mean? Sit in the empty chair. “Be” your scared self. Describe what it feels like to be so frightened that you can’t run away or call for help. Then move to the chair opposite you. Now “be” the scary self. Yes, it’s harder to be the character you don’t identify with, but do it anyway. Flaunt your might. Be the terrifying power. With your psychologist’s guid ance, you move back and forth between the two chairs acting out your struggle until you gain an appreciation of how you frighten yourself. Then you’ll learn how to face your fears, find your voice and flex your muscles. Empty chair work is powerful as you learn how to integrate and liberate war ring parts. When I’ve witnessed such dramatic breakthroughs, it not only impresses me, it truly makes my day!

Some neighborly goodness in East Meadow
A fter watching his 21-year-old neighbor Shane Weiner grow up with psoriatic arthritis, Vinny Cafiso of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows thought some good could be done through their most recent fund raiser.The fundraiser, held at Governor’s Comedy Club on July 31, raised $5,500 which will be sent to the National Psoria sis withwhat“NobodyrangeandthrobbingstiffnessgersswellingadultsoftenandmixaticnosedWeinermywasallhe’smymysaid.ored,”joyed,hefoundationbigWeiner’sFoundation.beenapartofthesincewas13.“IwasoverIwashonWeiner“He’sbeenneighborforwholelifeandknownmeatpointswhenIatmybestorworst.”Asaninfant,wasdiagwithpsoriarthritis,aofpsoriasisarthritisfoundinthatcausesoffinandtoes,andjoints,areducedofmotion.knewwaswronghim,”Amy
Astrophysics at Brown.“Itwas extremely isolating growing up with this,” Shane said. “You can’t expect your classmates at that age to understand or sympathize or any so I was picked on all the Shane’stime.”resilience is what inspired Caf iso to want to donate the money to NPF.
The Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a fraternal organization founded in 1819, focuses on helping those in need. “Seeing Shane grow up and seeing what he went through after not really knowing any thing about the disease made me want to do the fundraiser for it,” Cafiso said. “I saw all the pain and suffering he went through and we’re pretty close with the family.”Thefundraiser featured Cafiso’s come dian friend Richie Byrne, and there were about 20 gift baskets for a silent auction. “It turned out really nice and I’m so glad we did it,” Cafiso said. “I know they went through a lot and kids were so mean to him, and he may be quiet but he’s a genius, absolutely brilliant.” Through it all, Shane has been very active in NPF. He takes part of the annual walk in Manhattan, he’s a regional ambassador, he’s been a youth ambassa dor since 2013, and has been to many con ferences.“When I was 13, I was first contacted by the regional director of NPF at the time and she invited me to events, and I became more and more involved,” Shane said. “It was the first time I had ever met people with my condition, and I met a ton of people of all ages with psoriatic arthri tis including kids who had it better than me and kids who had it worse.” Shane’s even been a keynote speaker at a few gala’s, speaking of his condition and giving his perspective. He speaks each year at the walk where he leads his team titled Team Lego, which comes from his love of Legos. Shane said that if it wasn’t for Legos, he doesn’t think he would have the dexterity that he has today.Inconjunction with the money from the Odd Fellows, Shane has raised over $6,000 for NPF. “I could have easily quit being involved with the foundation when I went to college but I never wanted to stop,” Shane said. “(The foundation) made me realize that there were thousands, if not millions or billions of people of all ages who go through what I’m going through, and to have a single foundation that works so hard to unite all of these people with different experiences, I just want to keep coming back and try to help them as much as a single voice can.”

For example, there are many regulations for sleeping spaces and bathrooms, such as means of escape, minimum space size, plumbing require ments and use. In most jurisdictions, the extra bed room 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 win dow or blocked entirely with wall materials, mean ing that you have some remedial construction to do.
Ask ArchitectThe
ST.
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,” pos sibly trying to rack up more fees.

Making the garage into living space
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.

Site plan, zoning analysis, energy loss calcula tions and more are all required. Good luck! Monte Leeper © 2022 Monte Leeper Readers are encouraged to send questions to yourhousedr@aol.com, with “Herald question” in the subject line, or to Herald Homes, 2 Endo Blvd., Garden City, NY 11530, Attn: Monte Leeper, architect.
A. I’ve always won dered why people in your situation aren’t given a more thorough explana tion of all the things need ed for a permit. Code words like “sketch,” “expedite” and “simple,” along with phrases like “all you need is a permit,” or “you just …” are mis leading. Making a much more complicated process seem so simple that peo 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.

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 dar ling 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 ing around me, a jet leaving a ghost trail overhead.Afewpeople, widely scattered, were enjoying the day. One lone fisherman stood out on the rocks. The scene was soli tary; the heartbeat slowed, the mind qui eted 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?

able, human error or deliberate attack, CDC fights disease and supports commu nities 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 peo ple 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 exam ining passengers on arriv ing ships for signs of infec tious diseases in order to prevent epidemics. To spe cialize 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.Andyet in the winter of 2020 Ameri cans had the impression that the CDC and the NIH didn’t know what the hell they were doing, even though they condescend ingly acted like know-it-alls. That was a disastrous blow to our respect for those institutions. Worse than that was a suspi cion that their leaders, Drs. Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins, knew more 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 govern ment and inept disease-control regime, there are other examples of once reliable and now ineffective institutions. Are you getting your mail as regularly and accu rately 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 dis trict 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.

ummers are for beaches, barbe cues 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 pay check. 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.Exceptthis 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.Goingto college is supposed to pre pare 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. 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 help ing 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 gradua tion is dropping. Just 15.9 million pur sued undergraduate degrees in 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Edu cation’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 sur veyed by Pew Research Center said they were back home living with their par ents in late 2020 — the highest percent age since the Great Depression. Sure, we could blame Covid-19, but those numbers were already past 47 percent and climb ing 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.
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 herBiden’seducation.move on restoring that com mitment is a start, but there’s still a long way to go.

To the OMG!Editor:Iread 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, hav ing completed all the requirements neces sary 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 with out 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 EastMeadowbrookIncorporating:2001Times1963-2001MeadowBeacon1950-2020
President Biden’s own numbers paint a horrifying picture for America’s postsecondary education system. The cost of a public four-year university has sky rocketed nearly 200 percent since 1980, but federal aid through Pell Grants has grown just 20 percent. In 1980, Pell Grants could offset 75 per cent 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 educa tion was essential in ensuring democra cy, 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 differ ence — but so does not investing in edu cation. Except that creates the kind of difference we’d rather not experience.

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 lon ger lose 45,000 Americans a year due to a lack of health insurance.
opinions Why the heck should health care be affordable?
JOHN HARDING
Thoughts or comments about our stories?
Matthew Adarichev is a public policy major at Hofstra University, a political activist and an aspiring journalist whose work has appeared in the Hofstra Chroni cle and the Anton Media Group.
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.
A final worry is, “Would I lose my existing health insurance?” No. It’s a pre carious time in America right now, but no one’s coverage would be taken away.
The program would also save us money. A study from Yale University esti mated that a single-payer system would save us $450 billion per year. Another
Your current health insurance would be phased into the new plan over several years, during which you could still access services.Thepath 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 expec tancy, 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.
The high court ‘took no one’s rights away’ To the IlanaEditor:Greenberg’s column in the Aug. 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 determina tion. I agree — but her argument fell flat when she discussed the recent Supreme CourtGreenbergdecision.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.Itruled 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? Freeport

Frankly, I wouldn’t mind paying higher taxes if it meant that my fellow Amer icans would receive the care they needed. But call it whatever you want. You already pay “taxes” to pri vate insurance companies in the form of premiums, copays and deductibles. And when expensive emer gency services are utilized for prevent able health problems, you foot part of the bill.Contrary to popular opinion, govern ment 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 market ing rather than health care.

A s election season heats up, we are once again hearing the same worn-out message parrot ed 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 cir cumstances, like in rural areas of the country, get ting access to health care is gen uinely difficult. There are situa tions in which there is a real shortage of doc tors, 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 Lambo rghini. What’s stopping you? Go get one! Clearly, the problem isn’t supply; the cars are there. It’s the fact that for most Amer icans, it’s way too expensive. The difference is, you can live without a Lambo, but you can’t live without health care.
study, from the University of Massachu setts Amherst, put the price tag of singlepayer at just under $3 trillion, compared with the $4.1 trillion the American Medi cal Association estimated we spent on health care in 2020, meaning single-payer could save us $22 trillion over 20 years. Of course, there are con cerns about higher taxes.
I’m not suggesting that our good, hardworking doc tors work for free. Rather, we ought to provide every one in the country with uni versal 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.
