They returned to the scene of what was a great deed for both — just a year apart.

Joseph Canzoneri III and brother Michael joined family and friends Aug. 6 at the West Hempstead American Legion Cathedral Post 1087 to not only admire some of their renovation work, but also celebrate what the two earned in return for all that hard work: their Eagle Scout badges.

“Overall, I would say the hardest part is the dedication that’s required to do everything,” Michael said after the ceremony. “It’s a big

commitment over the years. I started at 12 years old, if I remember correctly. You really have to dedicate a long time.”

It indeed has been more than a decade since Joseph first joined Cub Scouts, followed by Michael a couple of years later. Joseph started Boy Scouts around the time he turned 10, and once again, Michael wasn’t far behind. All the while, the boys’ father — Joseph Canzoneri II — kept a watchful eye over them, taking up leadership roles in both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts.

He even became the scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 240 in 2015 — a position he would CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

Malverne theater embraces divine comedy

ister Mary Clarence might not need a spotlight, and she might not need a crowd. She may not even need “the great wide world to shout my name out loud.”

But that’s exactly what one of Hollywood’s most famous nuns got last week — complete with lounge singers and mobsters — as Malverne Senior High School staged a summer production of “Sister Act.” Based on the popular 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg, director David Coonan brought together current and past students from his high school theatre program in putting a musical onstage for the second straight summer.

All of this started with a simple idea from Malverne school district superintendent Lorna Lewis. She thought the best way to tackle Covid-induced cabin fever during lockdowns was to stage outdoor Tim Baker/Herald photos plays.

Mount Sinai South Nassau brings back soirée fundraiser STAFF REPORT Supporters of Mount Sinai South Nassau are set to gather once again at The Seawane Club on Saturday, Sept. 17, to help raise funds for hospital projects that are expected to expand services along the South Shore.

For the first time after a two-year hiatus, “Soirée Under the Stars” returns with an outdoor gala event that honors Peter Cannuscio, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Axis Construction Corp. Cannuscio’s company has been an instrumental part of an array of capital improvement projects at Mount Sinai South Nassau, including plans to convert a vacant 60,000-square-foot building in Wantagh into a multi-specialty medical office center.

Axis also has built a dedicated bi-plane imaging suite in the hospital’s emergency department for stroke patients, and expanded the modernized Mount Sinai’s pharmacy department.

Other notable projects from Axis include the urgent care center in Long Beach, the expansion of Long Island’s first free-standing emergency department, and the restoration of the hospital’s outpatient dialysis center after suffering significant damage through Hurricane Sandy.

Rita Regan and Felix Nazario also will be honored at the soirée. Regan, a regis-

tered nurse who is the patient experience and care coordination vice president for the hospital, will receive the Mary Pearson Award. Nazario, the administrative director of environmental services, will receive the Cupola Award.

Regan and Nazario were among the leadership team who helped guide Mount Sinai South Nassau’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. Regan has spent 50 years in health care, joining Mount Sinai in 2012 as a performance management director. Nazario has spent 25 years in the industry, taking over environmental services at the hospital in 2018. During the pandemic, Nazario and his team of housekeeping and environmental services staffers overcame daily challenges in their relentless effort to keep patients and employees safe from the virus.

Funds raised at the soirée will support the hospital’s $400 million long-term strategic growth initiative, designed to improve services for patients across the South Shore. That includes a new four-story patient pavilion — the J Wing — as well as the $35 million medical arts pavilion in Long Beach, and the new Wantagh medical arts building.

An outdoor reception begins at 6:30 p.m., at The Seawane Club, 1300 Club Drive, in Hewlett.

Workers from Liberty Water installed new ductile iron pipe to replace nearly 100-year-old infrastructure beneath Park Boulevard. The work, announced on August 18, was projected to last for about 4 weeks.

Courtesy Liberty Utilities

Water main replacement scheduled for Park Blvd.

People living on or traveling along Park Boulevard in Malverne should expect some disruptions in the near future, as plans were announced to replace outdated water mains beneath the roadway.

Liberty New York Water stated that $250,000 has been committed to replacing outdated mains on Park Boulevard between the street’s intersection with Linmouth Road and its terminus at Ocean Avenue. 900 feet of new ductile iron pipe will replace the nearly 100-year-old pipes currently in place.

In addition to replacing the mains, 2 hydrants and 25 service lines will also be replaced. Chlorination and water quality sampling will also be carried out during the work. After the service lines are changed out, the Village of Malverne will carry out yard restoration.

Malverne’s aging water infrastructure has been a sore spot in the past. A number of residents spoke with the Herald in 2014 about persistent issues with brown water.

At that time, Stony Brook University civil engineering professor Harold Walker concluded that the brown water likely _______

stemmed from iron buildup in Malverne’s aging pipes.

Representatives of New York American Water initially blamed the discoloration on iron buildup in residential water heaters. Eventually, most conceded that Malverne’s pipes did need replacement, and the company committed $900,000 to replacing mains throughout Malverne in 2015.

Canada-based Liberty Utilities purchased New York American Water in January 2022, changing the new subsidiary’s name to Liberty New York Water.

Work on Park Boulevard has commenced and will be carried out daily between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. The project is expected to continue for three to four weeks. Sections of the street may be closed during work hours, and Liberty has stated they will coordinate with homeowners along Park Boulevard to minimize disruptions. Those who think the work may affect them are encouraged to contact Liberty Engineering Project Manager Rosa Fernandez at (516) 252-8639 with any questions.

Four newcomers to the West Hempstead School District made their debut at the monthly school board meeting on Aug. 9, as Molly Gegerson, Patricia Scollo, Katherine Wilkens and Jennie Yi will all be taking on new positions in the district this fall.

Yi will be filling the post of director of humanities, taking charge of social studies, ELA, reading, library and world language.

“I’m an absolute educator,” Yi said. “I was a social studies teacher for about 27 years. Then two years ago, during Covid, I decided to go into the administrative world.”

Yi taught at Cardozo High School from 1993 to 2007 before teaching social studies in Great Neck South High School from 2007 to 2020, before finally becoming the dean of students for Roslyn High School.

In her new position at West Hempstead, Yi said that much of her time will be spent familiarizing herself with the district.

“I’m very into an interdisciplinary approach,” she she stated. “I’ll try to get the English department and the social studies department, which are now part of humanities, to work together. We can enrich students’ understanding of historical events with documents and artefacts.”

Yi added that apart from the humanities, she would like to eventually help build

and the family atmosphere.”

Gegerson joins the district as the assistant principal for the West Hempstead Secondary School. “I was a teacher in Massapequa and at Nassau Community College,” she said. “I was going through openings and one of my friends actually sent me this posting. They said, ‘This kind of sounds like you.’ I read through it, and I connected to it.”

Gegerson is still familiarizing herself with her new stomping grounds. “I need to walk around a bit, otherwise I’ll get lost,” she joked.

“I’m excited to be a part of the new secondary school. I am hoping that I can foster creativity and engagement among the students,” she added.

Working with Gegerson will be Wilkens, who will be teaching math in the secondary school. Wilkens has a long history with the school district and may be a familiar face to summer school students.

“I actually started my career here as a leave replacement,” Wilkens said. “I’ve always come back. I loved it, and now I’m grateful enough to be here full time. I’ve always taught summer school here, for the last seven summers. I’ve taught math in Manhattan for the past seven years.”

Daniel Rehman, district superintendent, reiterated his faith in the new hires.

“I can speak for each one of these four women who sit before us,” he said.

“They’re learners, they chose to be here, and they’re going to do fabulous work.”

here’s so much rage we see on television and is posted on social media that you may feel absolutely justified becoming angry and resentful with others when they don’t act as you expect them to.

pointments slap you in the face. I am suggesting, however, that hurt feelings, perceived slights, unexpected disappointments, even minor treacheries need to be dealt with fittingly, not taken to the extreme nor viewed as tragic.

■ First, you must gain control of your anger. Nobody makes you act the way you do. Yes, others contribute to your anger, but you’re the one who acts it out. So, take responsibility for your behavior rather than putting the blame on another.

So it’s important that you inda think, not act. Think with the smart part of your brain, never letting the reptilian part control your life. Think about how you want to conduct yourself. Think thoughts that’ll calm you down. Think about walking away — at least for the moment.

Control your rage for yourself as well as for others. In the heat of anger you may feel righteous and mighty, but how good will you feel about yourself the next day?

No matter how you rationalize what you said or did, in those silent moments of contemplation, you’ll feel humiliated and shamed for acting like a jerk. And your reputation will be damaged long after your anger has quelled. Smoldering embers live on forever, crumbling even strong relationships into bits and pieces.

Now I’m not suggesting you need to be an angel. Nor do I think you should be easy-tempered, serene, and shrug off your hostility when resentments and disap-

■ Critically examine your assumptions. Imagine alternative explanations and interpretations for what someone did. If your kid didn’t listen to you, could it be due to his attention problem, forgetfulness, or other priorities he has rather than his wish to blow you off ?

How one behaves is often about their momentary needs, not your expectations.

■ To alter your behavior, you must know alternative ways to act and speak, despite feeling upset in the moment. So think about how you can respond to someone who annoys you before the annoying moment. Once you know that, it’ll be much easier to avoid reacting with furious, venomous, impulsive words or actions that can quickly destroy everything you hold dear.

Being creative and scientific at summer camp

August 25, 2022 — MALVERNE/WEST HEMPSTEAD HERALD

Students made use of their scientific minds and creativity at West Hempstead School District’s Camp Invention, held between August 15 and 19.

The program is a STEM-related summer camp welcoming students grades K through 6, and aiming to foster the campers’ curiosity and innovative thinking skills. Held at George Washington School, the camp kept its students busy with numerous activities.

Students built a marble arcade, constructed a habitat for robotic fish and painted stylish designs in a spin art class.

The camp kept more that just the younger students busy, employing West Hempstead Secondary School students as volunteer camp counselors for their younger peers.

SummEr Camp StudEntS in the West Hempstead School District had a week of creative learning at Camp Invention.

Hayley Kelch honored as woman of distinction Hayley Kelch of Malverne was recently counted among thirteen women recognized as a “women of distiction” by Assemblywoman Judy Griffin. Ms. Kelch was chosen by Griffin for her numerous volunteering efforts and awarded an honor recognizing her as a champion for her community.

Having spent her childhood in Malverne, Kelch and her husband of 15 years, Tim, moved back to Malverne after living in Boston and Brooklyn. Working as an attorney for the past 16 years, Kelch spent 10 years with Cullen and Dykman LLP where she became a partner, specializing in commercial, education, and non-forprofit law. She is currently in-house counsel at PSEG Long Island where she focuses on transactions involving the purchase and sale of renewable resources like wind and solar energy.

Now, along with her two vibrant daughters Millie and Ella and German shepherd, Ready, the family has lived in Malverne for 12 years. Kelch has always taken the initiative in her community. She has worked alongside other parents and teachers as a part of several parent teacher associations as her daughters have risen through the Malverne public school system. In addition, she has acted as coleader for two Girl Scout Troops at the Brownie and Junior levels.

HAylEy KElcH, RIgHt, recieved a citation and a rose from Assemblywoman Judy Griffin in recognition of her work as a lawyer, PTA officer and scout leader, among other things.

“As a working mom, it’s difficult to be with my kids, so I volunteer my time to try to be with them as much as possible,” Kelch explained. She says that, especially in being a co-leader of her daughters two Girl Scout troops, “it’s a labor of love.”

Assemblywoman Griffin presented

Kelch and the twelve other women with citations and roses at the Rockville Centre Recreation Center on July 28. “These impressive women are the heart and soul of our communities,” Griffin remarked.

“I am so grateful for their presence, leadership, compassion, and civic minded-

ness. In the challenging times we live in, I am so proud to represent these vibrant women who strive to make a positive impact.”

“It was wonderful having my family there to see me accept this award,” Kelch said of the occasion. “It was a great feeling to be thanked,” she said.

Kelch explained that she very much enjoyed serving on the PTA board. “They play a major role in this inclusivity between the three communities of Malverne, Lakeview, and Lynbrook”. Kelch was happy to report that she and other PTA members have been quite productive in her time serving, especially in expanding programs and activities. “We achieve these goals and the goals then become traditions,” she said.

The Maurice W. Downing PTA held its annual Kindergarten Playdate on August 6 to welcome incoming kindergarteners and families to the school district. Kelch has worked on the Maurice W. Downing PTA for years and served as co-president from 2017 to 2019. As her daughter Ella moved up in grades, Hayley Kelch is now secretary of the Herber PTA in addition to being co-vice president of the Davison PTA. Kelch was previously recognized for her work in 2019, when she was named the Malverne/West Hempstead Herald’s person of the year. Her tireless efforts to help her community clearly continue to deservedly draw admiration.

NAACP academic contest wins Jade Crawford gold

by ViVian roSe Intern

A Malverne student earned gold at the National Association for the Advancement of People of Color’s annual AfroAcademic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics, or ACT-SO, earlier this summer.

For 45 years, the NAACP has brought together high school kids from across the country to compete in the prestigious, all academic competition. The treasurer of the Lakeview NAACP, Phyllis Wright, serves as the ACT-SO liason for most schools in Nassau County. She explained the process of gaining the interest of students, getting them involved, and trained by mentors for the local, and hopefully, even the national level competition.

Wright visit local high schools starting in September, gauging and encouraging interest in the program among the students. She also runs the workshops in which students go to meet with mentors that specialize in the area or areas students choose.

Students have the chance to choose 3 out of 33 possible areas of study, ranging from STEM, to the humanities, the arts, and even culinary aspects. Students train with their mentor from October until the local competition in April. Those that win a gold medal at the local level move on to the national competition, located wherever the NAACP convention takes place that year.

This year, the national convention took place in Atlantic City. All the student’s expenses for the national convention are covered. “I always like treating the youngsters to a high end dinner once we get to the convention,” explained Wright. “It’s become a tradition for me to take the stu-

dents to a place in the city, known for African American history, like a museum or on a tour of the historic parts of the city.”

“There are usually 10-15 students we get interested in total from all the high schools,” Wright said of her coverage area. This year, four students stood out.

Two students came from Malverne High School, and two others from Southside High School. These four students made it to the local competitions, but only two made it to the national level championship.

Jade Crawford, a senior at Malverne High School, won gold at the local level competition in drawing, painting, and in photography. She nabbed gold at the national level as well, earning the honor for her drawing skills.

Delyse Rios, a senior from Southside High School in Rockville Centre, won a gold medal for her biochemistry project at the local level, taking her to the national level where she won a bronze medal.

Each competitor must present their projects before a panel of judges that are knowledgeable in the specific subject area or areas the student chooses to present in.

The judges are members of the NAACP and cannot have served in a mentor position that year.

Eligible students must be between grades 9 through 12, can be educated through private, public, or home schooling, must be a citizen of the US or hold a green card, must not a professional in the area of study the student wishes to present on, and must be of African-American descent.

The next NAACP convention will be held next summer in Boston. Wright is eager to begin going out to schools in September and encouraging student talent for a brand new cycle.

Nunley’s Carousel returns to awe next generation Part of indoor attraction at Long Island Children’s Museum

By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

T

hey were large mechanical carousels, populated by gorgeous woodcarved representations of horses with strong and aggressive manes, open mouths and batwing saddles.

Named after the Brooklyn landmark that inspired them — Coney Island — Solomon Stein and Harry Goldstein shipped out a number of these carousels across New York more than a century ago.

Few of them still exist, but one particular carousel that would start its journey in Brooklyn’s Canarsie neighborhood before moving to Baldwin in 1940, not only remains, but is now part of a permanent attraction at Long Island Children’s Museum at Uniondale’s Museum Row. Nunley’s Carousel returned to service last week, and spins once again on select days — and indoors — for $4 a ride. It gets is moniker from Nunley’s Amusement Park, where it was a fixture on Sunrise Highway until that park’s closure in 1995.

Relocating it to the children’s museum took years in the making, having been previously part of the Cradle of Aviation operations next door. The carousel continued the Long Island tradition until Covid19 flared up a couple years ago, and had been closed ever since.

That is until last week, when the museum officially re-opened Nunley’s Carousel, and its fleet of more than 40 horses, a lion and two chariots. It is now one of only three Stein & Goldstein-manufactured carousels still intact, and in 2020, was awarded the National Carousel Association’s Historic Carousel Award.

Gary Grasso represented that very association during the grand re-opening, finally able to bequeath the plaque for the award over to the children’s museum inperson. Established to promote, preserve and appreciate the classic wooden carousel, Grasso said Nunley’s is one of 50 classic carousels still operating. And even more impressive with its original band’s organ, ticket booth, Wurlitzer calliope, and ring machine.

Transitioning operational control of Nunley’s Carousel from Cradle of Aviation on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard was a smooth one, said Suzanne LeBlanc, the children’s museum director.

Fitting into the museum’s mission of connecting children to a lifetime of wonder, imagination and exploration, the carousel is an excellent exercise in analyzing options and exploring sensations as children choose the perfect horse to ride on their magical adventure.

“The colors and lights and music and motion create an unforgettable multi-sensory experience that will become part of the memories passed down through the generations,” LeBlanc said.

Susan Harlin was one of the first people in line last week to ride Nunley’s Carousel once again. But it’s hardly her first time.

“Oh, my goodness, I was probably about 10 — 57 years ago — the last time I rode the carousel,” she said. “I grew up in

Roosevelt and we’d go to Nunley’s all the time. We’d lean out and get that golden ring so we could ride it again.”

Harlin’s adult daughter, Elizabeth Bock, said seeing it reopening reminded her of her mother, and she decided to take her two children, Evelyn and Thomas, for a ride the whole family could enjoy.

Even Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman has own fond memories of driving with the family to Nunley’s. He joined Harlin and others last week to celebrate its reopening with the children’s museum.

“I was one of those kids that grew up at Nunley’s,” he said. “On a Sunday, if we were really good, me and my three sisters and brother would be treated to going to Nunley’s,” Back then, the Baldwin attraction featured roller coasters, games and, of course, the carousel.

“The highlight was always the carousel,” Blakeman said. “It brings back so many childhood memories.”

The restoration process started a year beforehand by Carousel Works in Ohio, that largest manufacturer of wooden merry-go-rounds in the world. It then opened in 2009, spending the next 11 years run Cradle of Aviation.

“It was more than just Baldwin iconic, this was something that people from all over Nassau County came to enjoy,” he said. “It’s a very proud moment for us, especially Baldwin. It was a labor of love, and having this day for us, is priceless.

That’s the only thing I could say: Priceless.”

Our island looked a lot different 113 years ago. Coastal areas were filled with summer homes for the rich, whileinland was mostly farms. But a dozen farmers living close to Lakeview banded together in 1909 to create what is today the Lakeview Fire Department.

When Hook, Ladder, and Engine Company Number One was first established over a century ago, it looked quite different from the modern fire department of today.

A horse drawn wagon was the department’s first – and for a while only – vehicle. To raise funds, parties, dances, and picnics were held to purchase the state-of-the-art apparatus.

How much should a backpack weigh?

Backpacks are handy tools that carry an array of gear. Students rely on them to hold books, while hikers and campers utilize backpacks to carry items such as food and beverages that keep them safe on trails. Even office workers may turn to backpacks to carry laptops or other tools of the trade.

Backpacks are handy resources, especially for students, but overstuffed backpacks may cause injury.

Hauling full backpacks to and from school each day can be a real pain in the neck — and back and shoulders. Yet backpacks are a school staple — and a $2.7 billion industry — for a reason. Toting books and notepads and folders and other supplies is necessary to excel in school. So how can parents and students balance the need for backpacks with the potential for injury?

Step one is to stop over-worrying about long-term damage. “A lot of parents come in to my office thinking that their child might have scoliosis because of a heavy backpack,” says Dr. Lori Karol. Though back, shoulder and neck pain are all possible results from using a too-heavy or poorly worn backpack, scoliosis and other back deformities aren’t a danger.

Weighty Considerations Learning how backpacks affect our bodies helps explain why parents worry. According to registered nurse Anja Hammega, “when a heavy weight, such as a backpack filled with books, is incorrectly placed on the shoulders, the weight’s force can pull a child backward. To compensate for this unnatural posture, he or she may bend forward at the hips or arch the back.” Similarly, kids who sling their backpacks only on one shoulder might lean to one side to balance the weight, compressing the spine or putting unnatural stress on the shoulders. The effect of this unbalanced stance can be mistaken for scoliosis.

Beyond back pain, kids are also at risk of falling from the weight of their packs. Keep your kid’s load light by making sure his or her backpack weighs between 10 and 15 percent of his or her body weight. For example, if your son weighs 80 pounds, his backpack should only be 8 to 12 pounds. Younger children and girls are at even greater risk of toppling over because their packs can be heavier in proportion to their body weight. When carrying too-heavy backpacks, students can accidentally hit other kids with their sizable bags, causing injury or loss of bal-

ance in tight spaces such as hallways or bus aisles, too.

The weight of a backpack depends on the age of the person using it. Generally speaking, adults should not exceed 20 percent of total body mass when loading backpacks. That means a healthy person weighing 200 pounds should not carry more than 40 pounds in his or her backpack.

In regard to children, researchers indicate that a child’s backpack should weigh no more than 10 percent of what the student weighs.

Those findings are based on a Spanish study involving 49 primary school-aged children.

Therefore, if a child weighs 70 pounds, he or she should only carry up to 7 pounds in the backpack.

Choose Wisely Start the year off right by purchasing a backpack that fits your child well and by teaching him or her the right way to wear it. Avoid backpacks with careless stitching, fraying fabric edges and exposed zippers without fabric flaps. These are signs of poor manufacturing, and no kid wants to be dealing with a stuck zipper or a broken bag in the middle of the school hallway.

Instead, find a lightweight one with two padded shoulder straps. If the straps are too narrow, they can cut into your child’s shoulders, potentially interfering with circulation and causing pain or numbness. A padded back can provide comfort and protect your kid from sharp edges of textbooks, rulers, notebooks and more. The backpack should rest evenly in the middle of the back, close to the body. And those wide shoulder straps should allow your child to freely move his or her arms to easily take the backpack off.

Pockets on backpacks are both fun and functional. Having multiple compartments will better distribute the weight of the school supplies, and they can help your son or daughter stay organized. Bigger books should always be placed in the center of the back, and items such as cell phones and other devices can be easily moved from smaller pockets to lockers during breaks.

Another option is a backpack on wheels.

They can be dragged, alleviating the need to carry heavy loads.

Raising literate kids

19

Back-to-school — it’s a hectic time full of shopping, preparation and new routines.

But just because children are headed back to school doesn’t mean that parents should stop teaching their children. And just because life is hectic doesn’t mean you can’t make time to improve their literacy skills.

You may feel that there isn’t enough time to add more activities to an already packed 24 hours. But these ideas, courtesy of the of National Center for Family Literacy, take just a minute!

Choose a letter of the day. Look for the chosen letter in any printed materials you see — the newspaper, labels at the grocery store, street signs, billboards or advertisements on TV. Make up a silly sentence using only words beginning with the letter of the day. (For example, cats can cuddle. Dogs don’t drive. Amy always acts awake.)

Singing songs is certainly a literacy activity. Try this twist: Sing short songs like “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” several times, leaving off the last word each time until there are no words left. This activity always produces giggles from children and parents alike.

Do a letter search. While you’re waiting for the bagel to toast, have your child look for the letter B on any items on your kitchen counter or table. Count as many as possible before the toaster pops.

Play “Guess Who.” Describe a cartoon character, celebrity or historical figure.

Allow a guess after each detail is disclosed.

MALVERNE/WEST HEMPSTEAD HERALD — August 25, 2022

It’s a family affair Expand your child’s vocabulary by using unusual words, and then explain their meaning.Take turns. Listen carefully to your child’s descriptions, especially his choice of vocabulary. Encourage him to paint a picture of the character with his words. At the end of the game, compliment him on any unusual or new words used.

Do word-based activities while in the car. While stuck in traffic, describe the view from the car by taking “word turns.”

The activity is as easy as the name suggests.

Parent and child each add a word until the scene is described. (A… yellow… convertible… with… a… golden… retriever… in… the… back… seat… is… next… to… our… car.) This activity works well on a walk around the block or while waiting in line too.

Talk to your child about her day.

Pretend to be a television reporter. Try questions like “what was the most surprising (curious, funny, eventful) thing that happened today?” Or gather news for the paper.“If your day’s activities were an article in the newspaper, what would the headline be?” You are giving your child opportunities to increase vocabulary, recall and reflect, and you are receiving a more detailed version of the time you spent apart. Be prepared to answer the same questions.

Man allegedly exposes himself An Elmont man allegedly exposed himself to a group of three teenagers in West Hempstead on the afternoon of August 19, according to county police.

The three unidentified teens, aged 13, 14, and 16 were reportedly in or around Savers Thrift Store at 199 Hempstead Turnpike at 1:20 Julian p.m. on the Friday afternoon, according to police. There the teens encountered 34-year-old Julian Bassie of Elmont, who proceeded to expose himself in front of them.

The police were called, after which Bassie was located and arrested by officers without incident.

Bassie was arraigned at the First District Court in Hempstead the following day.

Judge Gary Carlton presided, and Bassie was charged with three counts of public lewdness and three counts of Bassie endangering the welfare of a child. Bassie has yet to select or be assigned a defense attorney.

The problems water causes

Q. Our attic air conditioning leaked into our ceiling. The ceiling is so wet we need to replace it. We now understand we’ll need to have the pipe that drains water out of our A.C. drain pan blown out every spring, and now have a service contract for that. The insulation is also wet. We were told to let it dry out and it will be fine. Is this true? Also, the ceiling joists over our 12-foot-wide master bedroom are only 2 x 6, which might cause the ceiling to sag and isn’t enough for the insulation, we’re told, which we understand has to be 10 inches thick. When we asked our contractor about this, he told us we can push the insulation down and then replace the plywood floor in our attic. What do you think?

Spacious Raised Ranch

T

his spacious Raised Ranch home has 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and plenty of room for everyone.

The living area is perfect to host your next family gathering while the eat-in kitchen with skylight will make cooking easy! You'll love having this den as additional sleeping quarters or use it just how it was meant…as extra space that can be used when needed without worrying about taking up valuable real estate inside! $1,150,000

A. When it rains, it pours. The leaking was a wakeup call that A.C. unit condensation occurs every summer season, and even though you have a drain pan, if it doesn’t have a working sensor to shut off before the drain pan overflows and you never clean the drain pan pipe to the outdoors, the water overflows. You should, by law (code), onte eeper have a floor in the attic around the unit, also, which can dry out, since it remains structural, and will be minimally affected by the water.

The insulation and the sheetrock are another story. If the sheetrock hasn’t loosened and isn’t sagging, then it can just be left to dry out. Make certain, even using a moisture meter, that the sheetrock is completely dry before repainting to avoid potential mildew and discoloration. The insulation, if it is either fiberglass or closed-cell foam, can be dried out also, but only if it can be exposed. This means removing the plywood flooring above so that air can get to the insulation.

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

Heat moves by one of three mechanical principles, convection, conduction and radiation. If the air bubbles or pockets in the insulation are pressed closer together and the material made denser by this, the conduction or transfer of temperature is easier, so the insulation has less likelihood of resisting, and resisting is what you want insulation to do. It would be great to rebuild the floor with deeper joists or have closed-cell foam sprayed in, since it also resists water saturation to solve the problem. Good luck!

opinions

eing a college trustee for 30 years, I have kept a close eye on trends in the field of higher education. I’m happy to see that many of our institutions are introducing new courses that reflect the changes that are happening. There are plenty of jobs for engineers and many schools, like Hofstra, have created comprehensive programs to attract engineering students. But I never anticipated that there would be a critical shortage of teachers, and many colleges no longer have programs to train new JERRY ones.

Why do we have KREMER such a national shortage? Sadly, there are too many reasons. If you follow the news, you’ll learn that the state of Florida needs 8,000 teachers, but no one is rushing to work in the Sunshine State. The politicians, not the colleges, caused Florida’s dilemma.

Florida has passed multiple laws governing what can be taught in the classroom, and numerous school boards are asking residents which books they want removed from library shelves. Those conditions alone would discourage a teacher or any

i

student thinking about getting an education degree.

Fearing for their personal safety, teachers and education students are also shunning states such as Texas. Since the recent tragedy in Uvalde, in which 19 students and two teachers were killed, some state officials have been suggesting that schoolteachers bring a gun to class. Why would a college-bound student consider teaching as a profession if they had to take firearm training to qualify for a job?

In addition, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is in the process of suggesting revisions to the school curriculum.

Perhaps the biggest disincentive for potential new teachers is salary levels around the country. If you live in New York, Massachusetts, California or Alaska, starting salaries are attractive enough for possible candidates. But Missouri, as an example, has an average starting salary of $33,200, and the legislature has failed to appropriate any fresh dollars to increase it. Because salaries in some 14 states are so low, teachers are forced to take second jobs in order to survive. A National Education Association 2021 survey found that the national average for entry-level teacher pay is $41,000, and experienced teachers on aver-

p

age earn $64,000.

An article by Emily Tate in the March issue of Mother Jones magazine outlined the expanding number of teachers holding second jobs. The reporter interviewed 30 people, all of whom worked in such gigs as bartenders, delivery services, tutoring, Lyft or Uber drivers, retail clerks and real estate agents. Many of those interviewed found their work interesting and challenging, but admitted that having to work after hours and nights detracted from their mission to be prepared for classroom challenges. Some observers would say that there’s nothing wrong with teachers looking to supplement their income, but others would say that teachers shouldn’t be forced to grade papers at 2 a.m.

Many years ago I was asked to represent a Long Island school board in its negotiations with the district teachers union.

While some current-day negotiation tactics may have changed, the discussions I had soured me on doing such work in the future. The school board asked for an extra 30 minutes a day to help students who were falling behind and needed extra help. In addition, it proposed that the start-

erhaps the biggest disincentive is salary levels around the country.

ing salaries for entry-level teachers be boosted by 10 percent. Those requests were rebuffed, and the only salary discussion was about how much to pay teachers with 10 or more years of service.

Unable to find teachers, a number of school boards in Indiana and Ohio recently advertised that they would accept anyone with a college degree to teach in their schools. The deeper you dive into the national teacher crisis, the more you learn about why high school graduates are turning their backs on studying education in college and one of the most important jobs in our society, and why experienced teachers are retiring in large numbers.

America has its priorities messed up when it comes to the teaching profession.

A young baseball player called up to the major leagues makes hundreds of thousands of dollars, and may be further richly rewarded with bonuses and long-term contracts. Is it asking too much to pay new teachers a decent wage? I don’t think so, but apparently many governments around the country have failed not only the teaching profession, but children as well.

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.

School bells toll for students and parents

n 1957, 10-year-old me started sixth grade at the Number Three School in Cedarhurst, in Mrs. Haggerty’s class.

No one in that snapshot is still standing but me. The Number Three School is now a yeshiva, Mrs. Haggerty presumably is in teacher heaven, and 1957 is now 2022.

I was the new kid in class. We had just moved “out to the Island” from Queens.

It wasn’t an easy transition for a super-sensitive pipsqueak of a girl. By the end of the first week, I had cried twice in class, and in Week Two the mean girls gave me the “black spot,” which everyRAnDi one who’s read KREiss “Treasure Island” knows is fatal: You’ll be dead by the end of the day.

I didn’t die, but that’s only a technicality.

This all comes back to me as we begin the new school year after over two years of home schooling, Zoom classes and dysfunctional education amid the coronavirus pandemic. Our kids and grandkids are survivors of a massively destabilizing season of social distancing and quarantining and mask wearing. Parents, too, have gone

through their own version of hell.

Therefore, two things are going on at the same time. On one level, nothing has changed, and on every other level, everything has changed.

I asked my grandkids how they’re feeling about going back to school, the pluses and the minuses, and they all said the same thing.

They’re looking forward to seeing other kids, and they’re worried about doing well after this disruptive hiatus.

In 1957 that was what I wanted, too. I wanted the kids to like me, and I hoped to find some friends. So are we all good? The schools will open, the children will get to see one another, and learning will take place. But that is only if we ignore the ripple effects of these years of deprivation and isolation.

Look around. Smell the air. Feel the vibe. Check in with your stress-o-meter.

This back-to-school year is different from other years. In the same way that the pandemic changed our way of living for over two years, it will change our path forward, too.

Like most other Americans, I am so relieved that our kids and grandkids are going back to the classroom, in person,

o

with real teachers for a full day. But normalcy is a relative thing.

There are children suffering from school anxiety. We have a mental health crisis among our teenagers. For good reason, children are afraid of getting sick, getting shot, or failing at their schoolwork.

Some friends report that their elementary school grandkids don’t want to go back to school. Their bedroom has become their safe place.

We need parents and teachers to be monitoring the re-entry process. And parents, too, need support and the comfort of realizing they have survived an unprecedented national and global catastrophe. Parents haven’t ever had to home-school and work from home while trying to stay alive.

We are returning to school at a time when ad hoc groups in communities across America are deciding what books school libraries can purchase. They are banning material they deem unsuitable, with references to gender or sexuality or race. Many teachers are demoralized by this random oversight, and we need to pay attention to the political tides in our school districts.

Who’s going to pay for all the school

ur kids and grandkids are survivors of a massively destabilizing experience.

supplies and technology that is now part of public education? In 1957, my black and white composition book cost 20 cents.

Today the average family spends $800 or more per child on back-to-school shopping. Amazon is selling the composition book for $11.99.

How will individual schools navigate this nearly post-pandemic time? There are the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and then there’s real life. We don’t know yet how treatment of Covid surges will be handled.

During their isolation and down time, our kids have become increasingly connected to their phones. Many mental health professionals see this as an addiction, and the connection to social media as an impediment to interpersonal communication and relationships. How will schools deal with the phone issue? The devices have become a kind of secondary umbilical cord during the school day.

We need to take a step back and let our children resume the level of personal responsibility they had before the restrictions of the pandemic. They can do it, and we can, too.

We cheer our kids as they return to the classroom. We are mindful that they have been through something, and that they carry more than books in their backpacks.

But his death was the first of nearly 6.5 million worldwide who would die from complications of what would come to be known as Covid-19. And just 10 days later, on Jan. 21, 2020, the first confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States would be found in Washington state.

We are just months away from Covid’s third anniversary, and while the pandemic itself has changed so much of what we call “normal,” it does feel like life is ever so slowly returning to what it was before the ball dropped in Times Square on Jan. 1, 2020.

Social distancing is gone. Masks, while still seen — and even worn — are nowhere near as prominent as they once were. And getting the sniffles doesn’t evoke the same kind of panic it once did.

If we look hard enough, there are still signs of those troubling times around us: worn stickers on floors of businesses calling for six feet of separation. Signs on shop entrances requiring face coverings.

And even the occasional Covid-19 mobile testing site on the street.

Hospitals aren’t overwhelmed. The death toll is no longer prevalent. And far more of us are vaccinated against the virus than those who aren’t.

There are many who say the coronavirus is now an endemic rather than a pandemic, meaning it’s here, we’ll see season-

al surges and maybe even some variations, but it’s not the threat it once was. Yet those variants remain unpredictable, and it’s not clear whether current vaccination levels will stave off future mass hospitalizations and death.

And yes, people are still dying from the virus, at a clip of more than 600 per day in the United States, according to some estimates. That’s one person every two minutes.

But how scared should we be? What numbers should we pay attention to? And what should we do if we fear exposure to the virus, or develop symptoms that closely resemble Covid-19?

First and foremost, we must stop focusing on who is getting the virus, and how many, but instead on what impact it’s having on hospitals and mortality. Those numbers were important before there was a vaccine, but not today, when a vast majority of those inoculated recover with no major complications, or even the need to visit a hospital.

The virus and its many variants will continue to infect people, just as the flu does, and even the common cold. Yes, Covid-19 remains far deadlier than either of those ailments — and thus more serious — but for those of us not working in public health, spending so much time tracking every case accomplishes very little, except to raise anxiety.

If you find out you were in the same room as someone who tested positive, you can’t ignore it. But you don’t need to rush to quarantine, either. The Centers for Dis-

ease Control and Prevention recommends continuing with your life as normal. Just wear a mask for the next 10 days while indoors, or while in close proximity to others.

If you start showing symptoms, get tested right away. If you don’t, wait at least five days.

If you do test positive, only then should you isolate. And then just for five days, as long as your fever breaks before the start of the fourth day without the help of medication, and your other symptoms are improving. Still, even if you can end isolation, you should still wear a mask through the 10th day.

While it’s nice to focus on other things in life — and in the news — rather than the coronavirus, we can’t forget about it.

More than a dozen people are dying of the disease in New York each day, on average, and even if you survive, there are still a number of other complications that can be outright debilitating long after you recover from the initial infection, like long Covid.

And many people we interact with are considered “vulnerable,” meaning they may not be able to fight the virus like the rest of us. So wear a mask when you’re around someone who might be more at risk. Wear one in large groups, especially indoors. And if someone starts showing symptoms, know exactly how you can help stop the spread without disrupting your life.

Each day brings us closer to our normal lives, so long as we don’t forget what upended all of them in the first place.

letters A road plan to nowhere?

To the Editor: Thank you for Kyle Chin’s “Could toll lanes fix parkway’s ‘Blood Alley’?” (Aug. 11-17). This story reports on a critical local issue that readers should be aware of.

The Long Island Contractors Association and State Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages, a Democrat and the Assembly’s deputy majority leader, are promoting a plan to add High Occupancy Toll lanes to the Southern State Parkway, ostensibly to reduce the number of accidents and deaths on the thoroughfare. The proposal does not explain precisely how the addition of HOTs would do so, though, except perhaps for those traveling in the lanes, which would be open only to single-occupancy drivers who could afford the tolls or those in high-occu-

pancy vehicles (carpoolers).

Among the greatest causes of accidents on the SSP are excessive speed and drunken driving. How would HOTs reduce either?

Additionally, would the plan involve destroying sections of the Southern State’s forests and grassy medians — among the South Shore’s few uninterrupted green spaces — to make way for the HOTs?

ov. Kathy Hochul recently stood in front of the Long Island Rail Road’s New Hyde Park station to celebrate the arrival of the first train on the LIRR’s much-needed Third Track. In truth, she had little to do with this multi-billion-dollar project. It was the creation of her predecessor, Andrew Cuomo, who used political threats and economic incentives to have his way with the various village mayors along the right-of-way who opposed modernization of Long Island’s “iron horse.” ronaLD J. But if I were Hochul, would rosenBerG probablyI look for any photo opportunity that takes the focus off the issue that may decide whether I will stays in office after November: crime.

The headlines are unrelenting. Almost daily we hear of repeat felons being let loose thanks to legislation that essentially scrapped the ability of judges to hold dangerous repeat felons behind bars until their trials. The painful impact on our communities is incalculable. Still, there is another metric that tells you something about the impact that legislation has had

on those who have taken a solemn oath to protect our society.

According to published reports, more than 1,500 New York City police officers have either resigned or retired so far this year. If this trend continues, it may well be the biggest loss of officers since these kinds of statistics began to be recorded by the department. Some 524 police officers had resigned, and 1,072 had retired as of the beginning of the summer — a 38 percent increase over the same period last year. We should be more than frightened, because these law enforcement professionals see the true nature of the threat on every patrol, and they have decided that our society isn’t prepared to back them up.

There are serious questions we need to ask our public officials this Election Day. We could ask State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins. She led the crusade to dismantle the bail laws, and her progressive agenda remains unchanged as police blotters are filled with repeat felons attacking law-abiding citizens.

If asked, police officers handing in their badges will say they are done with the job because of anti-cop hostility that is a central philosophy of the progressives,

e’re releasing 87 percent of arrestees in Nassau County without bail.

Letters And would the road have to be straightened to construct them, thus removing one of the SSP’s natural “traffic-calming” measures — its bends?

The State Department of Transportation proposed a plan 20 years ago to widen and add bus lanes to the Southern State.

The agency quietly dropped it, however, in the face of strong opposition by environmentally conscious civic groups like the Massapequa-based Long Island Progressive Coalition, which was concerned about the destruction of green spaces.

We also must ask how the Southern State’s accident statistics compare with other thoroughfares throughout the region, like the Northern State Parkway or the Long Island Expressway. The LIE is about as wide and straight as a road can be, with High Occupancy Vehicle lanes, and yet it remains plagued by accidents — and congestion. History tells us that adding lanes only increases traffic — and crashes.

Finally, who authored and funded the report on HOTs for the Southern State — LICA, the state, a third party or a combination thereof ? It’s unclear in Chin’s story, but it’s an important question.

LICA represents the interests of builders, not the hundreds of thousands of South Shore residents who would be affected for years by a costly and terrain-

and the obviously destructive nature of “bail reform” to the very idea of law enforcement.

This crisis isn’t just a New York City problem. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman has issued a report stating that more than 87 percent of criminal suspects arrested in Nassau County in April and June were released back on the streets without bail.

This number includes 282 who were facing violent assault charges.

Standing with Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder, Blakeman revealed that in the second quarter of 2022, 2,641 of 3,019 people arrested — 87.5 percent — were released without bail.

Some 282 of them faced assault charges, and 103 were arrested on weapons chargers. And then there’s the defendant some have described as a poster child of this crisis. Tejinder Singh was arrested for allegedly throwing bricks through the windows or windshields of 27 cars parked in East Meadow during a three-day vandalism spree. He was released without bail just hours after his arrest.

Hochul is no political neophyte. While she has a massive political war chest and solid poll numbers, all of that can go south quickly if the summer of crime becomes the autumn of anger, especially on voter-

rich Long Island.

When the governor spoke before the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police’s annual conference, she told her audience she would support and fully fund law enforcement. But what does that mean when the destruction of bail laws by Albany has led to an explosion of street crime?

Another seasoned politician, New York City mayor Eric Adams, has actually joined Republican lawmakers in demanding that the State Legislature address the crisis. Not surprisingly, the progressivedominated Legislature declined Adams’s call for an emergency session. He told reporters, “We’re not talking about someone that steals an apple. We’re talking about someone that has repeatedly used violence in our city: robberies, grand larcenies, burglaries, shootings, carrying a gun.”

Hochul will not be alone on the ballot this November. Long Island state senators who voted with their progressive colleagues are going to be asked by voters why they “went along” on progressive legislation that is now destroying a fundamental principle of American life: freedom from fear.

Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.

Randi got it right again To the Editor: Re Randi Kreiss’s column “Florida Gov. DeSantis: teachers need to be educated (Aug. 11-17): Thank you, Randi! I am in a family with teachers, as are a number of friends. I am an art therapist (also licensed by New York state) and teach on a graduate level. I resent it when people say, “Those who can do, do, and those who can’t do, teach.”

I, like most of us who have gone through a lot of schooling, have had the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to teachers. I’ve had teachers who phone it in, and those whose every word I’ve hung onto, savored and quoted throughout my life. To be so naive as to think that all you need is a mentor (and I am sure veterans have lots of spare time) to be able to manage a classroom and teach a subject that you don’t know is sheer idiocy.

I have seen “professionals” practice outside their scope of expertise more times than I would like to. I know that there are other types of therapists who

At the George Sumner Kellogg House — Baldwin

believe that all you need is a box of Crayolas and you’re good to go. One of the problems with being ignorant is that you don’t have the knowledge or insight to know that you’re ignorant.

But that being said, Randi did make a very valid point. With an uneducated constituency, Florida’s governor Ron DeSan-

tis has a better chance of being re-elected.

As, my son, a police officer, would say, “felony stupidity.” And unlike Covid, there is still no cure for stupid.

Keep on calling it as you see it, Randi.
