Irish paint Nickerson Beach green By JiM BERNSTEiN jbernstein@liherald.com

YouNgSTERS ShowEd ThEiR Irish dancing skills during daylong competitions at the Ancient Order of Hibernians annual Feis and Festival in Lido Beach last weekend.
The Gaffney family found a good spot to call their own on the expansive grass field at Nickerson Beach in Lido last Sunday, where they could watch the dancers and the crowds at one of Long Island’s largest Irish festivals. Dad Jim, mom Kristy, daughter Kaylee, 6, and son James, 2, had driven in the early morning from their Lake Ronkonkoma home to attend the Nassau County Ancient Order of Hibernians’ annual
Feis and Festival. They were among some 400 people — many of them children who had come to take part in dance competitions — who turned out at what most simply referred to as “the Feis,” on a breezy and sun-splashed late afternoon, the last of the summer’s weekends. The day was particularly poignant for the Gaffney family. Kaylee had taken second place in an under-7 Irish dance competition. Kristy was a dancer when she was single and living in Shoreham, and was thrilled Continued on page 15
Long Beach joins worldwide beach cleanup effort By JaMES BERNSTEiN jbernstein@lbherald.com
Fabien Cousteau, a grandson of legendary French ocean explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau, stood under a tent at the New York Avenue beach in Long Beach last Saturday morning as some 150 people — many of them young — gathered for a cleanup as the summer season drew to a close. They had come to take part in International Coastal Cleanup Day. Cousteau, who took part in more than 20 sea expeditions with his grandfather, who died in 1977, smiled as he looked over
the crowd signing in to pick up plastic bottles, cans and other trash left on Long Beach’s white sands. “I think he would be very encouraged,” Cousteau said when asked how he thought his grandfather would view the cleanup. “It shows how much young people care.” In 2017, Cousteau founded the Fabian Cousteau Ocean Learning Center, a Manhattan-based nonprofit, to “protect and preserve” coastal waters, coastal areas and marine habitats through education and research. The organization’s executive director is Eleanor Raftery, of Long Beach.

FaBiEN CouSTEau conservationist
Raftery had been working for the organization as a consultant. “I said to him one day, ‘You do this stuff all over the world. Why don’t you come to Long Beach?’” she recounted, referring to Cousteau. And so he did. “Long Beach is a beautiful place,” said Cous-
teau, whose grandfather was a French naval officer, explorer, conservationist, filmmaker, innovator, scientist, photographer, author and researcher who studied the sea and its many and varied creatures. He co-developed the Aqua Lung, pioneered marine conservation and was a member of the Académie Française.
“The community here takes care of its beach,” Cousteau said. “This is a model for how you can enjoy a place and keep it pristine.” Aside from beach cleanups, Cousteau’s organization runs a program in Nicaragua to preserve four endangered species of sea turtles, and is planning to Continued on page 4

Volunteers helped clean up the New York Avenue beach last Saturday, celebrating International Coastal Cleanup Day.
Long Beach residents join global cleanup continued from front page establish a coral hospital in Curacao, a Dutch Caribbean island. The coronavirus pandemic forced the cancellation of the cleanup last year. But on this Saturday, Long Beach teachers and parents joined children at an event that was taking places at beaches across the country and in other parts of the world. Cousteau said that when he visits a beach, he sizes up the environment — the sand and the water, how clean it is and what needs to be done. Then, he said, he talks about trying to “reverse the course we set for ourselves,” referring to global warming. Upgrading the poor conditions of some beaches around the country, he said, needs to be a part of an overall environmental effort. “A beach cleanup is a part of an engagement for the public to take care of our planet,” Cousteau said. Long Beach City Councilman Mike

DeLury welcomed the crowd and talked about the importance of caring for the beach, which is the pride of the city and its main attraction. Nassau County Legislator Denise Ford, who represents Long Beach, said, “I love to see so many of our students here.” The Long Beach High School crosscountry team turned out. One member, Jewel Jones, 16, said, “We don’t want the garbage to get into the sea. This makes me feel like I did something.” Sam Cox, 12, who attends Long Beach Middle School, said that on an ordinary Saturday, she might be hanging out with friends or surfing, so the beach is important to her. “This is going to make the beach less dirty,” Sam said. Alessandra Ancona, of Long Beach, a physical therapist and yoga teacher, said she had come because “the Earth is our home. Nature is a part of us. We need to take care of it.”

This fall is “revenge season” for the Long Beach girls’ soccer team. Months after being knocked out of last spring’s playoffs in heartbreaking fashion, the Marines are on a mission to make this season one that ends with a new banner hanging in the school gymnasium. But they’ll have to do it playing in a different conference with a new coach and a rebuilt defensive backfield. So far, it seems like the more things change, the more things stay the same for the Marines, who are unbeaten in their first three games (2-0-1). Last spring, the team rolled through a 12-0 regular season before yielding a goal with 54 seconds left in a 3-2 Nassau Class A outbracket playoff loss to Lynbrook, which had just one win entering the contest. Coach Mike Santoro stepped down soon after and was replaced by Ashley Castanio, a former goaltending star for Oceanside High School and Stony Brook University. Castanio has never coached at the high school level, but knows she can stick with the same formula that has been working with some touch-ups here and there. “I tried to change some stuff up a little bit, but not too much,” she said. “You can’t fix what’s not broken. The girls are great. We just did a lot of team bonding, trying to keep some stuff in place that the girls enjoyed, but develop my own style with it.” And the girls made one thing very clear to their new leader. “One of the first things they told me was that this is their ‘revenge season,’” Castanio said. “They were definitely ready to go, so I picked up on that vibe for sure.” Long Beach was ready from the get-go with four goals in the opening 10 minutes en route to a 6-0 whitewashing of new Conference A3 foe Jericho in the season opener. The Marines then denied Floral Park’s bid for a three-game winning streak, with junior Samantha Kolb netting two second-half goals to complete the hat trick in a 4-3 win on Sept. 14. Four days later was the much-anticipated rematch with Lynbrook. Sophomore midfielder Emma Larson celebrated her first varsity start by converting Ava Kolb’s crossing pass for the only tally of

Senior goalkeeper Alexandra Hastings also starred with 11 saves. “She was a beast all day,” Castanio said of her netminder. Samantha Kolb already has five goals this season after netting 14 last spring, and eighth-grade sister Ava had two of her own against Jericho. Kayla Carney,

Rylee Roberts and Samantha Addeo also scored for the Marines this season. Hastings has 17 saves this season and has been supported by a new defensive corps that had three starters graduate last spring. Natalia Hakimzadeh and Jocelyn Bravo returned, and Castanio moved freshman Aysu Unver and senior Carolina Hardy to center back. “I’m trying to get that core four back there,” Castanio said.

Oceanside athlete Corey Berger placed first in the male 30-to-34 age group in the prestigious Runner’s Edge Tobay Triathlon and Tri-Relay in Oyster Bay over the weekend. Berger, 34, completed the grueling triathlon in 1 hour, 5 minutes and 17 seconds in a group of 13 athletes. “It was a bit of a shock because of the way things kind of break down, especially throughout the swim,” Berger said. “Swimming had always been the most difficult of the three modalities. I struggled a bit with that particular swim. I was having trouble with my breathing, so I didn’t feel as great as I wanted to coming out of the water, but I felt awesome through the bike and felt fast on the run.” Then it was a sprint to the finish. “I raced to the finish, and I felt like I might have gotten the win with that race to the finish,” Berger said, “and once it was announced that was the case, I was beyond thrilled. That’s always the goal, and It was nice to see that come to fruition.” The competition included a half-mile swim in Oyster Bay Harbor, a 12.3K hilly bike ride through Oyster Bay and Oyster Bay Cove, and a 5K run past Mill Neck and Brookville. Berger used the race to prepare for Ironman 70.3 in Atlantic City. “I signed up the Wednesday before the race,” Berger said. “This was my second triathlon ever. I had been working with my coach, and she had suggested the race. She was familiar with the team that was helping to put it on . . . She said that this would be a great opportunity, especially because it was a little bit more challenging of a swim course than what you normally get.”
Berger started training again in June after he had surgery in March last year. “I had a torn labrum and a pretty severe bone impingement, so I had a year of absolutely nothing,” he said. “I slowly started rehabbing and getting out on the bike, started getting into tri training and working on some swimming and biking.” Berger likes a varied workout routine. “My training is interesting,” he said. “I still love CrossFit and I still have a desire to compete in CrossFit. I split my training between triathlon training and CrossFit training. I spent probably an hour a week on each of the different modalities. An hour of some sort of tri training five to six days a week and an hour of some sort of CrossFit or strength-based functional training.” On top of his training regime, Berger owns By Design Functional Elite Wellness, a performance nutrition company, where he works with everyday athletes, CrossFit games competitors and professional athletes to help them optimize their nutrition from a performance perspective. “Those things are paramount to my being able to do all of this,” he said. “The nutrition, the recovery, the sleep, all of that is meticulously planned by design, so it allows me to be able to express my fitness to the fullest capacity.” With the first-place finish, Berger has big goals moving forward. “ I feel pretty confident,” he said. “I have some big goals in my future with the sport. One is to get an overall win on a sprint tri. I think if I continue to improve on the swimming, I have the capability on the bike and the run. And the people that I’m fortunate enough to train with have a ton of experience, so I feel I’m in the right place. I think being with them for a full season, I think looking at next season, first place overall is a possibility.”

Fitness on the beach on tap for this weekend the nY Fit Fast last came to Long Beach in 2019 attracting a large crowd on the beach.
By Brendan Carpenter bcarpenter@liherald.com
Summer may be over, but the beaches are never empty on the barrier island. This weekend, NY Fit Fest is back, offering exercise and yoga classes, and sessions on beauty, fitness and lifestyle. NY Fit Fest kicks off a fall calendar of events that includes Irish Day and Halloween activities and parties. NY Fit Fest is a two-day event, beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday and ending at 3 p.m., at Edwards Boulevard beach. On Sunday, a handful of classes will be held at the Allegria Hotel Rooftop from 7 a.m. to noon. World class instructors including celebrity trainers, fitness experts and athletes, such as New York Sharks Football Player April Anthony, will be leading over 30 oceanfront classes and workshops from yoga and dance to boxing and military-style boot camps. With more than 50 ambassadors and promoters, the event has a broad range of contributors. The group includes entrepreneurs, professional athletes, trainers, motivational speakers, bodybuilders and Broadway dancers such as Stephanie Klemons, who is an original Hamilton cast member. Aside the classes will be occasional breaks including a National Anthem performance and even a tug of war competition on the main stage.

All-access passes for Saturday’s event cost $100 for ages 18 and up, and $50 for ages 65 and up and students with a valid student ID. All-access passes for Sunday cost $50 and include entry to a Barre and Beer class at Bright Eye Beer Company at 11 a.m. that day. There will also be over 80 vendors, which will be free for all spectators and shoppers. Shoppers will be able to explore a range of food and beverage, fitness and wellness options along the NY Fit Fest Vendor Village. The event was canceled last year and
2019’s saw a large turnout. However, this weekend’s numbers remain in question. To co-founder Colette Lee Morales, that is the major question. “We really want people to experience all the great things we have to offer,” said Morales. “We’ve seen people who didn’t enjoy cycling at first start teaching classes. It’s really amazing.” The classes give people to opportunity to try new things, exercises and workouts. Whether or not working out on the beach is your thing, there are more than enough ways to take part in this week-
end’s event. With fitness, shopping, music, entertainment, food and drink, there’s something for everyone. No matter what someone is at the event for, Morales wants attendees to take away one thing: inspiration. “Inspiration to be the best self and live life in the best way possible,” Morales said. “I really believe fitness can save someone’s life in many ways. This offers people a chance to fall in love with something healthy.”

Town begins pothole-patrol initiative

LONG BEACH HERALD — September 23, 2021

tHe town of Hempstead purchased the vehicles through the Highway Department at a reduced price of $95,030 each to fill 1,000 potholes a day. March 2021, town officials said the service is filling 1,000 potholes per day. “By acquiring these new vehicles, the Town of Hempstead is doubling down on our commitment toward improving and maintaining roadway infrastructure,” Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin said. “Be on the lookout for the Town of Hempstead’s pothole
buster coming to a neighborhood near you.” Pothole busters service all of the Town of Hempstead, excluding roads owned by village, county and state municipalities. The pothole patrol can be reached at (516) 812-3310, and calls are added to a list before a schedule is made, depending on the location and severity of the potholes.

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

Hundreds turn out for 49th annual Feis at Kaylee’s success. What’s more, Jim and Kristy had met at an Irish festival in Patchogue in 2005. “This brings back so many memories,” said Kristy. Her late grandmother Eleanor Bonner taught her all about Irish music and dance. “It all gets a little emotional sometimes,” Kristy said. There was a lot of emotion at the 49th annual Feis, which was canceled last year because of the coronavirus pandemic. This year, accordions played Irish music all day as girls and boys showed their moves on makeshift green wooden stages set up around the site. This year’s honoree was John O’Connell, who retired in 2016 as executive editor of the Heralds after 18 years with Richner Communications. He is now the editor of the National Hibernian Digest in Floral Park. “John has been involved with the AOH for many years,” said Michael Byrne, chairman of the Feis committee. “He’s a great man, and he’s also a gentleman.” “Today this is a center of Irish-American culture and heritage,” O’Connell said. The day also included a parade, an Irish Gaelic football clinic, and baking and singing competitions. “Whenever you see Irish people, they remember their heritage and they pass it

along,” said Aggie O’Leary, president of the New York State Ladies AOH. The day seemed to belong to the young dancers from across Long Island and the metropolitan area. Erin McMenamin, 7, turned out with
her mom, Kristine, of Massapequa. Erin studies dance at the Shade Academy in East Meadow. There were also dancers from the Hagen-Kavanagh School of Irish Dance in Long Beach. Carrie Cassarello, 12, of Seaford, has
danced in competitions across the country and in England. She has been dancing since she was 5, and did some jigs on Sunday. She said that one day she wants to study computer science. “But I’ll always be a dancer,” she said.

Q. We want to re-insulate our house before winter while we renovate, and aren’t sure about which type to use. The costs seem to be very different between fiberglass and foam. What would you suggest we use, and why? Are there any other less costly choices? A. Insulation, of all building materials, has the highest return on investment when you consider the installation and material cost compared with the savings over the rest of the life of the building. Every second of every day, your building or home is losing temperature to the outside environment, heating up in the summer and cooling onte eeper down in the winter, at constant expense, so resisting that loss of temperature and money should be a high priority in the design and selection of materials. Choose the best material and have it installed correctly.
Ask The Architect
L
The best choice is closed-cell foam, which has the highest return on investment and the highest initial cost but is worth every penny. Closed-cell foam is a complete cavity-filling barrier with the highest resistance to temperature changes. But it also does what other insulators cannot: It is a vapor retarder and resister.

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

n New York state, over 5,000 people hold titles such as mayor, supervisor, sheriff, chief of police and others, and these office holders are responsible for the good and welfare of their citizens. Other than New York City’s mayor, none are as powerful as the state’s 62 county executives. While some have small constituent bases, the downstate county executives have responsibilities with larger populations than several other states. While the public is largely unfamiliar with the role of county JERRY executives, in areas such as NasKREMER sau, Suffolk and Westchester counties, being a county executive is a very big deal. The current Nassau County executive, Laura Curran, is responsible for nearly 1.4 million residents. Her proposed 2022 budget is $3.3 billion. In her daily job, she supervises thousands of public employees, including one of the largest police departments in the state. In addition, she must deal with the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic
Y
and a host of other municipal headaches. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone is charged with taking care of the needs of over 1.5 million residents in a territory that, combined with Nassau, has a population larger than 37 states. Like Curran, Bellone deals with the challenges of monitoring a large county workforce and a major police department, and overseeing dozens of agencies that provide critical services to Suffolk residents. With their wide-ranging experience, you’d think that county executives like Curran and Bellone would be on a fast track to higher political office. A look at the state’s political history, however, shows that no county executive has ever been able to successfully use his government experience as a springboard to the job of governor, attorney general or state comptroller. A number have tried, with no success. In 1968, Nassau County Executive Eugene Nickerson ran in the primary for the U.S. Senate, but lost that contest. Current U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi ran in a primary for governor against then Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, but failed. Political observers agree that if the late Nassau County
T
executive Tom Gulotta had run for governor against the late Mario Cuomo, he might have been elected. Instead, Gulotta yielded to State Sen. George Pataki, who beat the incumbent governor. Former executives in Westchester County have had mixed results in the quest for higher office. Al DelBello won a Democratic primary for lieutenant governor and served under Cuomo, who gave him few if any responsibilities during his four years in the job. DelBello was a bright and highly capable executive, but after his first statewide role he did not seek any other office. Republican Rob Astorino has run for governor a number of times with no success. Bellone is term-limited, and after this year he will be out of office. Curran is seeking her second term as county executive, and is an odds-on favorite because of her many successes and her strong administrative talents. She has run her office in a nonpartisan manner, and has the respect of Nassau County’s business and political communities. The question that Bellone currently faces, and that Curran will face, is what opportunities there will be for
he future looks bright for Nassau’s Laura Curran and Suffolk’s Steve Bellone.
them when they finish their terms. In 2022 there will be statewide contests for the three major offices. Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, who has won all of his races by staggering numbers, is expected to coast to victory. Attorney General Letitia James may decide to challenge Gov. Kathy Hochul, which would leave an opening for an aspiring attorney. Neither Bellone nor Curran is a lawyer, so that eliminates that opportunity. So what’s next for these two Long Island rising political stars? Both are young and highly capable. It will take some time for there to be a major opening at the state or federal level, but it will come. Once upon a time, it was considered political heresy if one Democrat challenged another, but that’s now considered old thinking, and opportunities that no one ever thought about may surface. For now, the chiefs of both suburban Long Island counties will have to play the waiting game. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.
Feel-good, do-good work: Here’s the plan
our teenager sets aside his phone, his iPad, his computer, his tricked-out sneakers, her makeup palette, her micro shorts, his ratty T-shirt, her addiction to Instagram, his obsession with TikTok, and they leave home for some weeks or months to trim trees, cut back brush, dig ditches, install solar panels, and otherwise work toward mitigating the devastating effects of climate change. They join a corps of similarly unprepared, illequipped teens and they get paid RANDI minimum wage to KREISS do their bit to keep the earth spinning. Just days after becoming president, Joe Biden signed an executive order providing for establishment of such a group — a Civilian Climate Corps. This would be the first-ever government-led initiative to put large numbers of young people to work fighting climate change. Democrats have expressed support for the idea, which is now incorporated in the $3.5 trillion spending bill bumping its way through Congress. Specifically, the CCC would “aim to conserve and restore public lands and
waters, bolster community resilience, increase reforestation, increase carbon sequestration in the agricultural sector, protect biodiversity, improve access to recreation, and address the changing climate . . . “. . . Projects could range from wetland restoration in Florida’s Everglades to building parks or installing solar panels in urban areas. Corps members would be paid minimum wage, receive health care benefits and possibly school credit for their service. Would parents get behind this idea? It makes sense that hard work could be a great benefit to our children. This generation of teenagers has survived pandemic shutdowns and isolation; a public-works experience could help them become more independent and resilient and educated in basic life skills. The idea would be to merge large cross-sections of teenagers from rural areas, urban zones and suburban communities and offer an opportunity for a rich social and cultural experience along with the physical work. The idea isn’t new. More than 80 years ago, my uncle joined the first CCC launched by FDR to put young men to work during the Great Depression. It was called the Civilian Conservation Corps,
p
and my uncle left Brooklyn to work somewhere out West for a summer clearing brush. I wish I had more details, but all I know is that as an old man, he recalled the experience as one of the best times of his life. He got paid, he got fed, he had a nifty uniform and he met people he never would have met in Brooklyn in 1934. The CCC operated from 1933 to 1942. The organization was semi-military, and some political leaders at the time urged increased military training as the drum beat of war in Europe was getting louder. Many of the young men in the program, which employed millions, became the fighting force for America in World War II. My uncle joined the Navy at 17 and served on a minesweeper. The new CCC has more modest goals, hoping to employ hundreds of thousands rather than millions, and it would be diverse in every respect, in contrast to FDR’s CCC, which was strictly segregated. According to a story in The Washington Post, the Depression-era CCC was more popular than any of FDR’s other New Deal plans, earning the respect of the president’s foes as well as his supporters. It is thought that FDR, who conceived of the program, got the idea from Har-
utting young people to work fighting climate change would be a new New Deal.
vard philosopher and writer William James. “If now there were instead of military conscription a conscription of the whole youthful population to form for a certain number of years a part of the army enlisted against Nature,” James once observed, “the injustice would tend to be evened out, and numerous other goods to the commonwealth would follow. Our gilded youth [would be] drafted off according to their choice [of work assignments] to get the childishness knocked out of them, and to come back into society with healthier sympathies and soberer ideas.” Even as a state legislator, FDR boosted conservation efforts. His CCC was a perfect plan to address widespread national unemployment in the 1930s. In his first inaugural address, he said, “I propose to create a Civilian Conservation Corps to be used in simple work, not interfering with normal employment, and confining itself to forestry, the prevention of soil erosion, flood control and similar projects.” Eighty-eight years later, it is still a winning plan. But it requires a zeal for hard work and an idealism that fueled other do-good programs like the Peace Corps. I hope we, as a society, still have the right stuff. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss.

Election season is upon us once again — vote!
E
ach election season, we at the Herald Community Newspapers invite political candidates to our Garden City office for an hourlong meeting to hear their ideas and views before deciding whom we will endorse. This year will be no different. We will not allow the pandemic to interfere with one of a newspaper’s solemn responsibilities — offering our take on which candidates we believe are best prepared to represent the people. In the coming weeks, we will be conducting endorsement interviews for county, town and city elections. We will base our decisions on extensive research, including those interviews with representatives of our Editorial Board. The process of interviewing candidates takes a month. At times an endorsement call is an easy one, while at others we agonize over the decision. We take the process very seriously, considering each candidate’s personal and professional background, commitment to doing good for people and positions on key issues when deciding on our endorsements. Political experience is a plus, but not a requirement to earn our support. Endorsement decisions are made by a minimum of three Editorial Board representatives, and often considerably more than that. A decision does not require unanimous consent, but rather a simple majority. When there is a dissenting opinion, we often note it in our endorsement. In the past, we have endorsed both Democrats and Republicans. Our enthusiasm for a candidate is based not on our individual political views, but rather on what we collectively believe to be his or her potential to effect positive change while in office. Our endorsements will appear in our Oct. 28-Nov. 3 issue.
Early-voting hours Early voting will take place at 17 locations across Nassau County this year. The following are within the Heralds’ coverage area: Elmont Public Library, Freeport Recreation Center, Glen Cove City Hall, Hempstead Recreation Center at Kennedy Park, Lawrence Country Club, Long Beach City Hall, Rockville Centre Recreation Center, Valley Stream Presbyterian Church, St. Frances De Chantal Church in Wantagh, West Hempstead Public Library. Early voting will take place on the following dates and times: ■ Saturday, Oct. 23, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
In the meantime, you will find our coverage of the races in the main section of the paper over the coming weeks. We might cover a news conference convened by a candidate on a salient issue or issues. We will publish Q&A’s with candidates, asking them to opine on subjects relevant to our readers. In a Q&A, candidates are asked to respond to each question in a maximum of 250 words. When they exceed that limit, we cut the response from the end down. For the second straight year, New York will allow early voting, which will begin Oct. 23 and continue through Oct. 31. Voters can cast ballots at selected sites across Nassau County during that period. For a complete list of early polling places and their hours, go to the Nassau County Board of Elections website. If you need to file an application for an absentee ballot, you can call the Board of Elections, at (516) 571-8683, and ask for one; fax a request to (516) 571-2058; or mail
lETTERS ‘Common-sense’ gun bill needed To the Editor: Back to school brings a lot of excitement, but it can also bring anxiety. Our children’s safety is impacted not only by Covid-19, but also by our other national epidemic — gun violence. While New York state has some of the best gun violence prevention laws in the country, keeping families safe takes commitment on the local level as well. As an advocate for gun violence prevention, I have long supported public education about safe gun storage. One way to prevent unintentional child shootings is to make sure firearms are stored securely in the home using a safe or a gun lock, and making sure the weapon is unloaded, with ammunition stored separately. When sending your child to a play date at a friend’s house, always ask about the presence of a gun and how it is stored, the same way you would ask about food allergies or other child

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

recently took part in a WABC-TV special, “Back to School: Learning During a Pandemic,” hosted by Lauren Glassberg. Participants included Roger León, superintendent of Newark Public Schools in New Jersey; Dr. Jennifer Lighter, a specialist in pediatric infectious diseases at NYU Langone Health; and Dr. Jill Emanuele, senior director of the Mood Disorders Center at the Child Mind Institute in Manhattan. Glassberg distributed questions among the panelists. Here are my ALAn responses, which have been edited sinGer for space. What do you think needs to be done in terms of catching kids up in learning? The Brookings Institute posted a preliminary study in December 2020 that projected that students would lose 30 percent of the expected learning gains in reading and 50 percent in math because of Covid19 disruptions. In June, the federal Office for Civil Rights reported that the pandemic widened pre-existing racial, ethnic and economic disparities in education. There will be pressure on school administrators, teachers and students to catch up as fast as they can. If performance is measured by standardized exams, that could lead to
intense test prep rather than a focus on the joy of learning, making school a dreary place for kids who are returning to school full of joy. Have you heard any stories that suggest kids can’t learn in different situations? I think the bigger problems are the adult political battles over vaccinations and masks, which will increase adolescent anxiety and can contribute to bullying in schools. We’ve seen Covid-19 spikes in Louisiana and Texas, where people have been most hostile toward vaccinations and masks. New York City is mandating that all school employees be vaccinated by the end of September, but the teachers’ union acknowledged that there are thousands of unvaccinated city Department of Education workers, including teachers. We want to be hopeful, but we also need to be prepared. Kids respond to what is going on and the anxieties of parents and teachers. Should children and parents know which teachers are vaccinated? Teachers have rights. People with disabilities have rights. People with religious beliefs have rights. This question may have to be resolved in court. There are studies reporting that online learning isn’t as effective as classroom instruction. Can you discuss this? I have two high school-age grandchil-

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

dren who are now seniors. I worked with them on FaceTime. They received instructional packets from school, and sometimes they could do them and sometimes they couldn’t, but I was there to help. The reality is, though, that most students don’t have someone with whom they can work. Parents may not be fluent in English. Parents themselves may not be well educated. My grandson needed help with chemistry. I don’t know chemistry, but as an experienced teacher, I asked him to explain it to me, and through that process he figured it out. Many kids don’t have that, and they get lost and give up. That’s the problem with online learning. I virtually visited about a dozen metropolitan-area middle and high schools during the pandemic. Some had high attendance, while at others, less than 50 percent of students showed. With online learning, many students didn’t attend school, and even if they signed on, many weren’t required to turn on their cameras and weren’t there.
Roosevelt, of Oyster Bay, helped save his beloved White House or the U.S. Capitol, in addition to the lives of any people still inside either building between 10 and 10:30 a.m. that day. This posthumous “act,” 82 years after his 1919 death, was made possible through the person of Todd Beamer, who led the heroic passengers aboard United Flight 93 with the words “Let’s roll!” Although Roosevelt was born in 1858 and was president from 1901 to 1909, his very American spirit was still alive in 2001. Though he wasn’t on Flight 93, he was there in spirit, in the heart and mind of Beamer. There is little doubt that if Beamer and his courageous fellow passengers had not mobilized to attack the terrorist hijackers and bring that plane down in Shanksville, Pa., it would have soon struck the White House or the Capitol. That Beamer was, at least in part, inspired by the ideals, ideas, words and life of Roosevelt was documented in Newsweek (Dec. 3, 2001) and in Beamer’s wife’s book, “Let’s Roll!” Lisa Beamer tells how, sometime after 9/11, she found on Todd’s home office desk a quotation from Roosevelt’s 1910 “Man in the Arena” speech, which read, in part: “The credit belongs to the man who is
Did some older students take part-time jobs to earn income during school hours? At one vocational school, many parents were out of work. Because the primarily young men at the school had job skills, they were working and signing into class on their phones, but the teachers were aware they weren’t really there. It was difficult, because the teachers didn’t
want to come down hard on them, because their families needed the income, but they weren’t learning. What are your final thoughts on where you think this school year is headed? First, for younger children, we must make school and learning fun. That must be the priority. For older children, the challenge will be to reaffirm the habit of hard work, even when the task is difficult or boring. That is preparation for future life. I’d like to propose a civics project for every school and student. We need to enlist our children as Covid-19 educators. This was done during World War II, when children were mobilized for recycling campaigns to educate their parents, and it was done by Mayor Ed Koch in New York City in the 1980s, when there was a water shortage. Our children should become active in their families and communities, educating parents, family members and neighbors on why they should be vaccinated. That would bring excitement to the schools, engage kids on many different levels and help address the pandemic.
