‘A life of great significance’ for Sgt. Emanuele Alongi

By MAlloRY WIlSoN mwilson@liherald.com

East Meadow’s Woods Avenue has been renamed Sergeant Emanuele Alongi Avenue to honor the sacrifice and heroism of the late New York City Police Department sergeant who died June of 2020 of a Sept. 11-related illness.

The corner of Woods Avenue and Sussex Road was packed with Alongi’s family, friends, and neighbors Oct. 15 for a special ceremony.

Alongi, 50 when he died, was a 30-year resident of Woods Ave nue in East Meadow.

“It is a sad day for some mem

ories, but is it a positive day, because you’re recognizing a hero,” Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin said.

“Somebody who when he was in the academy, when those towers went down, got in a car with all the heroes, men and women and drove over there, got on top of that hill looked for bodies.”

Alongi joined the NYPD in July 2001, and while still in train ing when the Sept. 11 attacks happened, he sprung into action and headed to the World Trade Center to help with the response and recovery efforts.

He worked at the 17th Pre cinct and was promoted to ser geant in September 2008 where

he served at District 4 Transit. He planned on retiring in July 2021 with 20 years of service, but was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer.

“For months his career advanced,” Clavin said. “Then in the twilight at a very young age he was stolen from us because of those terrorist attacks, and that is something we can never for get.”

One by one, those who worked with him and family members got up to speak about the kind of man Alongi was.

Commanding Office of Tran sit District 4 Captain William Haut spoke of what a positive attitude ‘Manny’ always had

even when battling cancer.

“He’s always remembered by members of Transit District 4 for his positive outlook, for being a comedian and really being there for everybody,” Haut said. “ He really touched a lot of people and he will never be forgotten.”

“Manny’s was a life of great significance,” Chief of Transit Jason Wilcox said. “It’s comfort

ing and I’m proud to be here to know that the street has been named for him, and for all the people here today that will see this sign, and for the many years and generations to come that will see the sign, they too will remember Manny’s sacrifice and his heroism.”

E.M. Kiwanis celebrates 71st installation

By MALLORY WILSON mwilson@liherald.com

East Meadow Kiwanis members got all dolled up for a night of installing and honoring their own on Oct. 11 at their 71st instal lation at Verdi’s of Westbury.

The room filled with conversation as everyone got ready to welcome the new officers and directors, and thank those who served this past year.

“71 years going strong,” Tom Gallagher, the club’s famous emcee said at the start of the evening. “This is a club that has just been the most amazing club and has changed so many lives.”

Throughout the past year, under Presi dent Jennifer Reinhardt, the club has soared as it usually does. Each event was planned with fellowship and service in mind. From toy drives, to backpack drives, pancake breakfasts, and more, the club never stopped doing what needed to be done for the community.

Reinhardt spoke of her past year as president and thanked her board and club members for all of their help.“What a won derful year,” Reinhardt said. “There were many firsts for our club this year and many moments that I am particularly proud of.”

With the help of her chairpeople and committees, she said, each event was spe cial in its own way, and her board of direc tors had “unwavering commitment” to the community, which ultimately caused the club to be so successful.

Now, it is time to pass the baton to a new president. Diane Krug was sworn in as East Meadow Kiwanis’s new president by Margaret Silberger of the Wantagh Kiwanis Club.

“It is my honor and privilege to serve as your president and continue to serve our community,” Krug said. “We have achieved great success as a club through the leader ship of those who have come before me.

“Kiwanis should be a positive influ ence in communities worldwide,” Krug continued.

For an added special touch, Reinhardt announced who Kiwanian of the Year was for. Ted Rosenthal was picked by Reinhardt for always answering her calls and helping out wherever he was needed.

Webinar series explores health, wealth, self

By MALLORY WILSON mwilson@liherald.com

“Are you going deaf?”

As annoying as they might be, those four words could very well be signs of hearing loss. And it’s not a bad idea to get it checked out.

Protecting your hearing is exactly what those who tuned in to the recent AARP Long Island webinar series found out, thanks to the expertise of Dr. Lawrence Cardano and Dr. Esther Fogel.

“Out of all the health problems known to the United States, hearing loss is the third-most common health problem amongst adults,” Fogel told those attend ing the recent webinar from Herald Inside LI. That makes hearing loss “even more common than diabetes or some other health problems.”

Nearly 30 percent of adults older than 65 have some degree of hearing loss, the audiologist said, and as many as half of adults older than 75 have hearing loss to some degree.

The free webinar was part of the Octo ber series “Health+Wealth+Self,” which concludes Thursday, Oct. 20 with a focus on protecting older Americans from cyber crime.

Sponsored by AARP Long Island, Ber nard Macias — it’s associate state director — stressed the importance of AARP empowering people older than 50.

“We strengthen communities,” Macias

said. “We advocate for what matters most, with a special focus on health, security, financial stability and personal fulfillment.

So, if you’re going to remember anything about AARP, remember we’re all about health, wealth and self.”

Fogel is from Comprehensive Audiolo gy in Lynbrook, while Cardano sees patients at the Hearing Center of Long Island in Valley Stream. Both say getting

your hearing checked out can improve your quality of life. And there are signs anyone can look for when it comes to hear ing loss. Like if people around you seem like they’re mumbling, or you find your self asking people to repeat themselves.

Other signs include struggling to under stand people talking in noisy locations, missing words or phrases on the tele phone, or even hearing ringing, buzzing,

hissing sounds in your ears.

“There are a lot of things that can con tribute to hearing loss and put you more at risk for hearing loss,” Cardano said. “Any thing that affects your health, overall, can affect your hearing.”

Common risks, Cardano mentioned, include high blood pressure, obesity, inac tivity, high cholesterol, smoking and diabe tes.

Hearing loss can have even larger impli cations, the doctors said — like dementia.

“In order for the brain to function prop erly, it needs to receive all the sensory input from our surroundings,” Fogel said. “So, when we’re not hearing all the sounds that we should, the brain is not receiving all the signals that it should be hearing. And that can lead to cognitive decline.”

Don’t panic if you think your hearing might be diminishing, however. There are steps you can take to protect your hearing, such as having your hearing tested, limit ing your exposure to loud noises, eating healthy, and exercising.

And, if you are diagnosed with hearing loss, Cardano stressed, treat it early.

“All the research is telling us that if you have any hearing loss — even a mild hear ing loss — the easiest way to preserve your hearing clarity is to have it treated and have properly fitted and maintained hear ing aids,” Cardano said.

Register for the final webinar in the series set for Thursday, Oct. 20 at 6 p.m., by visiting LIHerald.com/self.

The senior playmaker’s historic day included rushing, interception return and punt return touchdown. Reaching the end zone in all three phases of the game proved monumental in a 34-0 victory in East Meadow’s Homecoming game that gave Baldwin (5-1) its fifth straight win after dropping its season opener.

East Meadow dropped to 3-3.

“He comes out every day and tries to perfect his craft,” said Baldwin assistant coach Mike McQueen of the versatile Jean-Pierre, who plays wide receiver as his primary position but also is very involved in the rushing attack. “He’s amaz ing.”

Jean-Pierre’s 5-yard rushing touch down in the first quarter gave Baldwin a 12-0 lead. Then on defense he made what proved to be the game’s most decisive play with a 98-yard interception return when Baldwin was on the verge of a touchdown to make it 18-0.

“They were right on the doorstep of a touchdown and him stepping up like that just ignited the whole team,” McQueen said. “From that point on we kicked it into gear.”

The magic continued for Jean-Pierre later in the second quarter when took a punt near midfield 57 yards for a touch down that gave the Bruins a commanding 26-0 halftime advantage.

Senior running back Anthony Byron also had a big game with 104 yards rushing on just 10 carries. Byron got the scoring started with a 15-yard touchdown run. He capped off the day with a third quarter two-point conversion run following a fiveyard touchdown from senior quarterback Vaughdrea Johnson.

McQueen credits the offensive line nicknamed “The Trench” of Rodney Mills, Moise Ambroise, Darien Ward, Jack Pace and Jack Davison with driving the success.

Senior fullback Joe Festa was the brought spot for the Jets rushing for 98 yards on 15 carries. He had a 43 yard run

Final stretch of LIRR’s $2.5B ‘third track’ done

By JUAN LASSO jlasso@liherald.com

It’s finally completed. The Long Island Rail Road line connecting New York City with Nassau County’s governmental seat and other points east now has a third track. And that could mean not only more trains along a nearly 10-stretch between Floral Park and Hicksville, but added ben efits to neighboring lines and traffic.

The Third Track Project, completed Oct. 3, is the latest addition to the LIRR’s rail network, giving the Metropolitan Transportation Authority the ability to carry more trains on the track, as well as better flexibility moving trains in both directions during peak hours.

For commuters, this could mean fewer service disruptions and delays along the busy line that connects to Ronkonkoma, Huntington, Port Jefferson, Hempstead and Oyster Bay, meaning potentially fewer riders on those lines passengers might choose as alternatives. For those choosing to drive, it eliminates grade-crossing at seven different intersections, meaning fewer delays whenever trains roll through.

Gov. Kathy Hochul celebrated the com pletion of the third rail alongside MTA executives at a garage next to the LIRR’s Westbury station.

“The completion of the historic third track project connects commuters with a more resilient and flexible railroad with frequent service, modern stations, ADA

accessibility, and more travel opportuni ties for Long Islanders and visitors,” said Hochul of the $2.5 billion construction project that finished $100 million under budget.

The project kicked off in 2019 after decades of battles over how such a track would be constructed. Many living around the affected areas — along with the local officials who represented them — bristled at the idea of having the new set of rails potentially cut through private property.

The current design began in 2016 under the backing of Hochul’s predecessor, Andrew Cuomo. This time, the plan didn’t involve taking residential property while adding other infrastructural perks includ ing landscape improvement, retaining walls, parking garages, improvements to rail bridges, and the removal of eight street-level grade crossings.

The plan also refurbished stations in Mineola, New Hyde Park, Carle Place, Merillon Avenue and Westbury.

The project was carried out in three phases with the first leg of track through New Hyde Park and Merillon Avenue fin ishing last August. The second stretch of track to Mineola completed weeks later, with the last section crossing the finish line at Hicksville.

There is still, however, minor station work left to complete.

Catherine Rinaldi, LIRR’s interim pres ident, says the rail system expansion couldn’t come at a better time as the new

Manhattan East Side terminal Grand Cen tral Madison — a heavyweight project in itself — comes into operation in the com ing weeks.

“When combined with the new termi nal at Grand Central Madison and the newly renovated LIRR concourse at Penn Station, LIRR customers will have more frequent service, upgraded stations with a host of modern amenities, and easier reverse peak trips,” Rinaldi said.

Courtesy Marc A. Hermann/MTA

GOv. KAthy hOchUL joined Metropolitan Transportation Authority chief executive Janno Lieber to announce the completion of the Long Island Rail Road’s 9.8-mile piece of track stretching from Floral Park to Hicksville that is expected to allow more trains, and ease congestion.

The third track’s ability will allow the two-way flow of trains on the mainline during the railroad’s busiest hours.

This, MTA chief executive Janno Lieber said, will be “a huge boon for Long Island businesses, since it will increase access to the region’s talent pool by enabling not only a 40 percent overall increase in LIRR service, but a huge uptick in reverse peak train frequency.

“It’s a win-win-win.”

Anoteworthy milestone

South Shore Symphony celebrates an expressive 40 years

By Karen Bloom

rom their roots in the Five Towns back in 1983, the Rockville Centrebased South Shore Symphony has grown and flourished as a regional orchestra that commands attention. For much of that time — since 1991 — principal cellist Wayne Lipton, the orchestra’s president, has been instrumental in guiding the many phases of its

growth.

“We started to really blossom, added more musicians, when the Rockville Centre Guild for the Arts took us under their umbrella” in 1991, Lipton recalls. And he and his group have never looked back. The orchestra — which performed at South Side Middle School until its move to the then newly-opened Madison Theatre on the Molloy University campus in 2011 — soon become known for their fascinating, challenging repertoire.

WHERE WHEN

• Saturday, Nov. 12, 7 p.m.

• Madison Theatre, Molloy University campus, 1000 Hempstead Ave., Rockville Centre

• For tickets, visit MadisonTheatreNY.org or call the box office at (516) 323-4444

“We put everything into it,” Lipton says. “We attracted more musicians and a larger audience. Soon soloists were added into the mix of the all-volunteer orchestra. We kept adding new things.”

conductor Scott Jackson Wiley.

“Wiley is extraordinary,” Lipton says. “He’s done a wonderful job teaching us and moving us forward. His dedication and commitment to the highest musical standards has led us to deliver consistently powerful and moving performances of some of the greatest symphonic works. It takes a special person to commit to an orchestra for that span, and he’s truly deserving of recognition.”

As he will be on Nov. 12, when the orchestra celebrates their beloved conductor’s 25th season with a special concert in his honor. Fen Hsin returns as featured soloist to perform Brahms Violin Concerto. The program also includes ‘Brahms Variations on a Theme” by Haydn and Brahms Symphony No. 4.

Pink Talking Fish

The fusion supergroup has enthralled audience with their special blend of Pink Floyd, Talking Heads and Phish since their inception some 10 years ago. What began as a lark for the four jam band musicians has turned into something much more. The band — with Eric Gould on bass, Richard James on keyboards, Zack Burwick on drums, and Cal Kehoe on guitar — has garnered a major following for their inventive combination of tunes from the namesake bands that inspired PTF. Although the music from each act is different, PTF has discovered that fusing the material together creates what the band describes as an ‘amazing story.’

That included collaborating with the local dance company, Leggz Ltd. Dance, performing outdoors each summer in Rockville Centre, and concerts at St. Agnes Cathedral.

The real turning point occurred with the construction of the Madison Theatre.

“We were ecstatic to be offered a real home,” Lipton enthuses.

“We were ecstatic to be offered a real home,” Lipton enthuses.

The feeling is mutual.

“The Madison Theatre is proud to partner with the South Shore Symphony,” says artistic director Angelo Fraboni. “We feature them in a variety of shows throughout the year. They’re always consistently excellent.”

“These are all pieces chosen by Scott as a statement of his classical background,” Wiley says. “It’s a strong classic repertoire. As an accessible Romantic composer with a big sound, Brahms is (a) tremendous showpiece for Ming. The Symphony is a tough one, a nice challenge for the orchestra, as is Variations on Hayden.”

Blazin’ pumpkins

While the orchestra may have “South Shore” in its name, Lipton is quick to point out that this is a group of dedicated, highly skilled musicians representative of all of Long Island.

Also theatre

This relationship has challenged and opened up new ventures for the orchestra. Its members now perform in opera and musical productions. Also Broadwaystyle revues, which include the University’s CAP21 theatre arts students. And, of course, Leggz Ltd Dance’s holiday confection “The Nutcracker,” among their many versatile performances.

“We’ve had an opportunity to play with some amazing people,” Lipton says, including Keith Emerson, Neil Sedaka and Jimmy Webb.

“It’s a very special group,” he says.

That “special group” has committed to a special season. One of “the most ambitious yet,” according to Wiley.

Fraboni

“Tosca”

“Marriage

Collaboration with Fraboni has blossomed into highly-praised full productions of operatic standards such as “Carmen,” “Marriage of Figaro,” “La Bohème,” “Tosca” and “Madame Butterfly.” A sustained cooperation with musical director Michael Bower and the Cathedral of Saint Agnes has led to memorable performances of major choral works such as Mahler’s Second and Third Symphonies, Beethoven’s Choral Symphony and many others, as well as most of the major concertos for organ and orchestra.

Spiking breast cancer, one game at a time

The varsity and junior varsity volley ball teams from EMHS donned their pink Dig Pink shirts and bows on Oct. 14 while hundreds of fans and supporters came to watch them play an inter-squad exhibi tion game.

This is the first time the school hon ored someone’s memory at the annual fundraising game. Karen Bonanno, the health and physical education teacher at Woodland Middle School, and volleyball coach for EMHS and WMS, said honoring her former teammate makes the event extra special.

“Kerri was an amazing person,” Bonanno said. “We played volleyball together and we were both setters on the girls’ JV and Varsity volleyball teams at East Meadow High School. She was a great teammate, she was always kind and hardworking, and she always had a smile on her face.”

Naples grew up in East Meadow, and moved to New Jersey in 2008, where she settled with her husband, Matthew and her two daughters, Abigail, now 7, and Lily, now 5. She was a math teacher and volleyball coach at New Dorp High School in Staten Island.

“I’m honored,” Joann Hubbard, Kerri’s mother said. “She was a beautiful individ ual, warm and loving. The outpouring of people that came to her funeral mass was overwhelming. All of her students that she taught years ago had said that she was an intricate part of their life.”

The money raised came from selling Dig Pink shirts, snack sales, 50/50 raffles, and community donations. The raffle prize gift baskets, created by the players and coaches, featured multiple gift cards and prizes donated by community mem bers and business, Bonanno said. Donat ing to the cause were Pietro’s Pizzeria,

Bonanno used the event to promote breast health, teaching the girls on both high school teams how to do breast selfexams by using a model that simulates what a lump or bump would feel like in breast tissue.

“I wanted the girls to have that handson experience of what a bump or lump could feel like,” she said. “Oftentimes, people just develop this cancer, and like any cancer, the earlier you find it, the ear lier you can treat it and have a better out come.”

Bonanno said that the girls were very receptive to the idea of honoring Naples’s memory with the game.

“It makes it very realistic for them,” she said. “Unfortunately, some of them also have friends and family members and relatives who have had breast can cer.”

Lily Finucane, an EMHS senior and cocaptain of the girl’s varsity team, said that it was great to see her team expand ing the event and have the younger girls involved.

“I’ve been doing this since I was a freshman and it’s really important that we’re doing it for somebody now,” Finu cane said. “It’s not just to raise money for breast cancer, but there’s an actual person that we’re honoring and remembering.”

Hubbard said that she loves that the money raised is going to breast cancer research, especially since Naples was always helping others.

“She was always including people in things and helping people,” Hubbard said. “When we had (hurricane) Sandy, she was collecting clothing for people that had nothing left.

“She worried about everybody.”

An architect fora sunroom?

Q. I’m buying a sunroom for my breakfast room on the back of my split-level house, about 8 feet off the ground. I’m being told by the contractor that I need an architect and sealed plans. Since it’s basically a kit of parts that will go on my existing deck, why do I need this? It seems like a lot of extra expense the sunroom people didn’t tell me about. If I already have a permit for the deck, it should be allowed, right? I haven’t bought the sunroom yet. I’m just trying to be sure I know the whole story before I do this, probably by spring, when the weather is better for construction. Any advice would be helpful.

A. Do things once, the best way. A deck isn’t hab itable, but a sunroom is, and a permit is required. Plans have to show struc tural support, energy and building code compliance. Rain, moisture and ice are your primary concerns.

You need the whole story without the sales part. Just like any pur chase, issues you might not expect are still impor tant, like finding out what kind of oil to add to your snow blower before the engine seizes or that windows without factory tint ing can allow ultra-violet sunlight rays to fade your carpet. As an architect for a largely popular sun room manufacturer in the 1980s and ’90s, I experi enced many issues with their construction.

Pre-engineered panel systems are designed by the company, hopefully by engineers, and should come with plans, from the manufacturer, that can be sealed and signed by their in-house engineer. If not, plans may need to be drawn from scratch by an architect or engineer that you hire so those plans can be integrated with your house. Integrated means that the company generally just sells you a product and doesn’t necessarily give any indication of how to support the unit or how to attach the unit system to your house so that it won’t leak or move.

This is the general failing of the system, since, as I experienced with most of the installations, the part I could detail was free of leaking or movement, but the units themselves leaked nearly every time. We could detail how the edges of the unit could be sealed and redundantly weather-stripped and flashed, but the frames around the glass and wall edges would unseal and leak. I even met with the corporate president/owner and identified the spe cific problems. Promises to correct leak issues were made but not kept, and eventually I gave up.

I looked at a two-year-old system while discuss ing other work for a home recently. The owner described the back-and-forth misery he and his family were experiencing with their sunroom and the company. Even 25 years after I gave up, the same company is still doing things the same way. You need a detail-oriented architect and installer, even if you think you don’t. The cost of doing things twice is much greater. Good luck.

We bumped a meteor off course, so is the danger over?

one of the most popular movies about the apocalyptic notion of a giant meteor striking Earth and destroying civilization was “Deep Impact,” a 1998 disaster film in which a high school student and a scien tist discover that a huge rock from outer space is headed right toward our world. A space crew is sent to destroy it with nuclear weapons, but succeeds only in blasting it in half, and winds up sacrificing their lives to destroy the larger half with their remaining bombs, saving Earth and its inhabitants.

JAMEs BERnsTEin

In the real world, of course, nothing so dramat ic has ever hap pened. But on Sept. 26, NASA successfully gave an asteroid a punch in the nose, knocking it off course. The asteroid posed no threat to Earth. NASA just wanted to test its capability to send an unmanned spacecraft, in a mission called DART, for Double Asteroid Redirection Test, to

make contact with a rock in space and set it off course.

Just in case the real thing ever hap pens, and we are faced with the possibility of extinction from beyond.

The asteroid Dimorphos was about 7 million miles from Earth. DART was launched last November, tasked with fly ing out to the asteroid, which has a diameter of about 560 feet, and crashing into it at about 14,000 miles per hour. The purpose of the test was to see if DART’s impact could push Dimor phos a bit off its orbit.

It worked. The test suc ceeded beyond NASA’s expectations.

“For the first time ever, humanity has changed the orbit of a plan etary body,” Lori Glaze, director of NASA’s Planetary Science Division, said in a statement after the test.

NASA administrator Bill Nelson added, “This mission shows that NASA is trying to be ready for whatever the uni verse throws at us. “NASA has proven we are serious as a defender of the planet.”

And there is no question the planet

needs defense. In December 2019, Con gress established the U.S. Space Force, the newest branch of the armed forces in 73 years. The members of Congress believed the defense of space was a national secu rity imperative, not only because of the possibility of hostile missile attacks, but also the chances of the planet being struck by a massive space boulder.

We now have the capabil ity to see deeper into space than ever before, with the launch in 2021 of the James Webb Space Telescope, which conducts infrared astronomy. The Webb is the largest optical telescope in space, and its high resolu tion and sensitivity give it the ability to see objects too old, distant or faint to be detected by the older Hubble Space Telescope, which was launched in 1990.

While NASA is to be congratulated for its success with DART, we here on Earth should not become complacent that all such dangers from space objects can be handled so easily. No one is talking about Armageddon from space, and the notion of a manned space vehicle smashing into

a meteor remains the stuff of Hollywood. But some experts are cautiously hopeful that NASA and the Space Force continue to seek ways of looking out for dangerous objects out there. The sooner they are seen, the better our chances of destroying them.

“We do now track a majority of the larger ones,” said Andy Parton, president of the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Gar den City. “We have the capability of using bigger space vehicles than DART” to do battle with meteors. “But we must also remember this was a small test, and just a test at that.”

No one should forget the 66-foot Chely abinsk meteor that exploded in the atmo sphere over the southern Ural region of Russia in 2013, causing a bright flash and a hot cloud of dust and gas. The meteor entered Earth’s atmosphere undetected because its radiant, or source direction, was close to the sun. The blast caused extensive ground damage, and about 1,000 people sought medical attention.

As Parton said, “Somebody should always be watching.”

America’s mayhem is playing on the world stage

‘The whole world is watching. The whole world is watching.”

If you know American his tory, or you remember it, “The whole world is watching!” is the unforget table chant shouted by thousands of young Vietnam War protesters as they were tear-gassed and beaten with clubs by the Chicago police during the 1968 Demo cratic National Convention that August.

The weekend before the convention, some 2,000 young people gathered in Chi cago’s Grant Park to protest. By the time the convention began, the crowd had swelled to 10,000. The police came to break up the protest, and they were brutal.

ised a nation of voters freaked out by the demonstrations that he would impose law and order. He won. Six years later, about to be impeached, he resigned in disgrace. The North Vietnamese had driven Ameri ca out of their country.

Department of Justice and Congress try to hold Trump accountable for alleged crimes.

RAnDi KREiss

A quick recount: The stodgy Vice Presi dent Hubert Hum phrey was about to be named the Democrats’ presi dential candidate, to run against Republican Rich ard Nixon.

The back ground: President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated five years earlier. His younger brother, Bobby, running against Humphrey for the Democratic nomina tion, had been assassinated two months before the Chicago convention. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated in April, four months earlier.

I was 21, and I remember the despair of losing the leaders who inspired us to find our best selves. They championed civil rights, opposed the Vietnam War, and then they were gone. Shot and killed.

The fallout: According to the Guardian newspaper, “After four days and nights of violence, 668 people had been arrested, 425 demon strators were treated at tem porary medical facilities, 200 were treated on the spot, 400 given first aid for tear gas exposure and 110 went to hospital. A total of 192 police officers were injured

“… Images of police fir ing teargas and beating demonstrators with their nightsticks played on network television news. It looked like an oppressive fascist state and offered a view of a nation appar ently tearing itself apart.”

The kids never stopped shouting, “The whole world is watching,” even as police tore into them. It has been said that the extensive media coverage of the violence, beamed into American homes, helped propel a reckoning over the savage police overreaction. It seems that reckoning is still playing out in our politics and in our communities, 54 years later.

In the ’68 presidential election, Nixon appealed to a “silent majority.” He prom

The echoes: Last week, as I watched the Jan. 6 commit tee hearing, I thought about how vital the media has been in investigating and reporting the alleged crimes committed by our 45th pres ident and his enablers. Without an intense commit ment by reporters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, we would not know what hap pened that day. This time the protesters carried the weapons, and erected a por table gallows. This time the protesters wanted to overthrow a righ teous election. These American citizens storming the Capitol were attacking the police.

The videos taken inside the Capitol’s hiding place during the insurrection reveal the chaos and the fright of the moment, with legally elected members of Congress fearing for their lives not far from a crowd gone berserk. As we go to press, we hear promises of further vio lence from Trump supporters who refuse to accept the peaceful transfer of power, the holy grail of our democracy. Various groups threaten ongoing disorder if the

The lines connecting 1968 and 2022 are unsettling. For me, the connection is my gut. It feels all wrong all over again. Kids were on the march then, demanding peace. Extremists today are threatening war. We lived then, and we live now, in a time of civil unrest.

After ’68, we edged into a relatively calmer passage of political life. But then along came Trump, who found common ground with a segment of angry and vio lent Americans. The new twist in the MAGA community, and from Trump him self, is the increasingly overt racism and antisemitism. What was never OK to say is slowly becoming OK in certain radical groups. The swastika and the Nazi salute are useful again, on the fringe.

In 1968 we were deeply hurt and disil lusioned by the successive assassinations of our leaders. We dreamt of peace and equality. As young idealists, we couldn’t bear that this was how our dreams would die.

Today, the dynamic is more toxic. The protesters are the ones with weapons. Their dream is absolute power. Their leader has debased the office of the presi dency and he just won’t go.

We are suspended in time, and the whole world is watching.

Thank a crossing guard near you

they work outside in rain, sleet and snow, keeping our most precious commodity — our children — safe.

School crossing guards are unsung heroes. Underappreciated — and sometimes ignored by motorists — they put their lives on the line every day. And they are at constant risk of injury or even death caused by drivers who disregard them.

How does a crossing guard get hit? Maybe someone is late getting some where. Or they have others in the car dis tracting them. Or maybe they’re simply impatient. The reasons matter little when the outcome is devastating.

Most people would say they’ve never heard of a crossing guard getting hurt on the job. But that’s what happened two weeks ago in Glen Cove, when a guard, attempting to stop traffic to allow chil dren to cross a street near an elementary school, was hit by an SUV.

He remains in critical condition. And he’s not alone.

It’s difficult to find statistics on how many crossing guards are injured on the job each year, because most data focuses more on the children and pedestrians they protect. But one of the most common causes of injury, according to the New York State School Boards Association, is being hit by vehicles’ side mirrors. And those can be significant injuries.

Crossing guards have been killed — even on Long Island. One in Hempstead died in 2016 when he was hit by a truck.

And there were two separate incidents in California last year when crossing guards were struck by SUVs and died.

A child was hit, too, in one of the Cali fornia tragedies, but survived. In the other, the crossing guard pushed a group of children away from the pathway of an oncoming vehicle.

In February, a crossing guard in Mary land was struck by an SUV and killed after pushing a child out of the way.

All of these guards were nothing less than heroes. But why does this even hap pen? Are people on their cellphones, talk ing or texting? Are they changing the channel on their car radio? Arguing with another passenger? How are they so dis tracted that they fail to see a human being wearing reflective clothing in the middle of the street with an arm outstretched, directing them to stop?

It remains unclear why the 82-year-old Bayville driver hit the Glen Cove crossing guard on Oct. 6. He remained at the scene after the accident, and he had yet to be charged criminally this week, as police continued to investigate.

It isn’t hard to become a crossing guard. In Nassau County, anyone who’s at least 18 and doesn’t have a criminal record can apply. No experience is required. But as one police officer said, a crossing guard needs to be someone who likes children.

A city police department, like Glen Cove, handles the hiring. In the villages, it’s the purview of the Nassau County

Now they’re booing Aaron Judge?

To the Editor:

Subject: on booing the Yankees’ Aaron Judge after his 62-home-run, MVP season. Yankees (and too many other sports) fans are rude, crude, cruel and ignorant fairweather friends, booing a player they pro fess to like, admire, respect and even “love” — as if he strikes out on purpose.

Players don’t make errors, drop passes, miss shots or throw interceptions on pur pose. Do these same “fans” boo their own Little Leaguers when they strike out?

Music lovers don’t boo the conductor if he drops his baton; nor do they boo the violinist if she drops her bow.

Grow up, fans, or stay home and boo to your hearts’ content in your own living rooms, where the objects of your unde served anger will not have to hear you.

RICHARD SIEGELMAN Plainview

Police Department.

In some parts of the country, school crossing guards receive health insurance, but not in Nassau County. Their working schedule is 90 minutes in the morning and again in the afternoon, when chil dren are on their way to, and then dis missed from, school. The unusual hours set this job apart from typical part-time work, and it’s hard to hold down another job at the same time.

Police say that while many guards are retirees, college students also take on the work. They take the job seriously, no mat ter their background.

Crossing guards obviously are impor tant — our schoolchildren need to be kept safe — and there is a shortage. Where they are needed but not available, police officers, or members of the auxiliary police, take their place.

Guards do more than help children safely cross the street. They remind driv ers of the presence of pedestrians, and just as important, they help children develop the skills to cross streets safely on their own in the future.

So the next time you see a school cross ing guard, give them a wave of gratitude — after you stop, without anger or impa tience, reminding yourself that you’ll get where you need to go eventually. That extra minute or two can save the lives of not only our children, but also the heroes standing in the middle of the street each weekday morning and afternoon, doing their utmost to keep those kids safe.

Of course 2024 will be on this year’s ballot

In case you haven’t heard, there is an election on Nov. 8. Most elections are about the current candidates, who are seeking a variety of offices all over America. This one, however, will be the equivalent of two elections, because its results may determine whether the 2024 election will be the end of democracy as we know it. Some of you may think this is overdramat ic, but there are good reasons to view this one as a political twofer.

Many of us New Yorkers are oblivious to what is taking place all over the country. One sage veteran of the partisan wars once told me that “America begins west of the Hudson River.” Nothing could be more accurate. Our local contests for Congress are dominated by such issues as abortion, inflation and crime, with scant mention of stolen elections and threats to the Con stitution, even though a few of the Repub lican candidates are election deniers or members of the Trump cult.

But if you lived in Michigan or Arizo na, you would understand why their elec

tions will decide whether democracy lives or dies in 2024. As of now, there are almost 300 Republican candidates nation wide who maintain that Joe Biden was never legitimately elected president. They believe the lie about the stolen 2020 elec tion, but there is much more happening that we should all worry about.

There are two positions in a state that have the power to throw out a public vote. One is governor, and the other is secretary of state. There are a number of Republicans running for governor who also deny Biden’s election. They have publicly stated that if elect ed they will “fix” the system by taking power away from local election boards. Doug Mastriano, the GOP candidate for governor of Pennsyl vania, has pledged flat out that if former President Donald Trump runs again and loses Pennsylvania, Mastriano will reverse the final results.

It is widely accepted that most of the incumbent secretaries of state around the country are independent and fair-minded. Not one of them has challenged the 2020 results, and they have staunchly defended their process from partisan attacks. But sadly, many of them have either retired,

are planning to or have lost their jobs in primary contests, won by the election cra zies. If the deniers win in six of the key states, they will have the power to poten tially reverse the national election tally two years from now.

Another factor that bodes ill for America is the quality of the roster of Republicans running for the U.S. Senate. It is hard to imagine that Georgia’s Her schel Walker could be sit ting in a body that once boasted the likes of Everett Dirksen, Lyndon Johnson and Pat Moynihan. Can you envision Sen. Mitch McCon nell walking over to Senator Walker and saying, “Her schel, how do you feel about nuclear disarmament?”

Walker’s race, in which he has his par ty’s full support, is about power, and not about electing qualified candidates.

The platforms of a number of Republi cans in key races around the country are scary. Many, such as Mastriano, pledge to restore “Christian values” to governing. He has used veiled antisemitic themes against Josh Shapiro, his opponent. U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republi can, states that the church should be run ning the government. Blake Masters, a

Vote ‘yes’ for clean water, clean air and green jobs

To the Editor:

For 20 years, the North Shore Land Alliance has worked to pro tect nearly 1,300 acres of natural areas. The primary reason we pro tect land is to safeguard drinking water. Long Island’s sole-source aquifer requires pervious surfaces (like fields and forests) for rain and snow to seep through the ground to recharge our drinking water source. But a study by the Rauch Foundation found that nearly 70 percent of Nassau Coun ty’s surface is impervious (pave ment and buildings). We need open space to protect our ground and surface water.

On Nov. 8, New York state vot ers will have an opportunity to vote on Proposition 1, the Clean Water, Clean Air, and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act. This

Lettershistoric legislation would protect open space, safeguard clean drink ing water, and update our aging water and sewer infrastructure while supporting nearly 100,000 good jobs.

In our community, we have 8,000-plus acres of natural areas left to protect. With passage of the Bond Act, we would have access to critical funding to conserve land in perpetuity and maintain our quality of life. Plus, with the wors ening effects of climate change, protecting open spaces, replenish ing our aquifers, and restoring bays and harbors is more impor tant than ever.

I hope 2022 will be the year that we truly value our natural resources and take urgently need ed action to protect our environ ment. On Election Day, please flip your ballot and vote “yes” on Prop 1. Let’s act now to ensure a healthy future for those who come after us.

Republican Senate candidate in Arizona, scrubbed his website to remove mentions of a national abortion ban and references to Christian themes.

The use of crime as an issue by Repub licans around the country is more than just a statement about criminals. It is a return to the dominant theme of the 1988 presidential election, when the party ran an ad campaign featuring a photo of con victed murderer Willie Horton that helped Vice President George H.W. Bush defeat the Democratic nominee, Michael Dukakis, who was portrayed as soft on crime. And in many Republican cam paigns, there are frequent references to billionaire George Soros, a major Demo cratic contributor, his very name serving as antisemitic code words.

Some political observers say that the tone of the Republican campaigns is just what a normal campaign should be like. But if the candidates who promise to over turn election results win and remake the fabric of our nation, the 2024 election will have been decided two years in advance.
