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.Heeven became the scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 240 in 2015 — a position he would

By KYLE CHIN kchin@liherald.com S 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 Holly wood’s most famous nuns got last week — complete with lounge singers and mob sters — 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 stu dents from his high school theatre pro gram in putting a musical onstage for the second straight summer. All of this started with a simple idea from Malverne school district superinten dent Lorna Lewis. She thought the best way to tackle Covid-induced cabin fever during lockdowns was to stage outdoor plays.“She’s a huge supporter of the theatre program,” Coonan said. “She is just a big fan of performance and theatre, and she really, really supports us.”

Malverne theater embraces divine comedy
Last year, the school district produced “Little Shop of Horrors,” the 1980s musi cal from the classic horror film of a maneating plant raised by a Skid Row flower shop assistant. This time around, it was “Sister Act” — a musical adapted by Glenn Slater and Alan Menken about a lounge singer who must disguise herself as a nun to keep her safe long enough to testify against the mob.
And Coonan required no convincing — he was already thinking of ideas the moment Lewis and district arts director Michael Messina approached him about the“Weidea.thought it was a really special event — and it was kind of like our return to live theatre after Covid,” Coonan said. “Doing an outdoor show allowed us to have an infinite number of people, and nobody had to worry about restrictions.”
“We definitely have the talent in Malverne to be able to pull off a show that has this level of entertainment quali ty and difficulty.” In looking for his cast, Coonan reached into his own network of Malverne alum, who in turn reached out to people they knew. He also turned to social media to bring Malverne alumni together. “The planning process for the summer musical is defi nitely a lot shorter than the one that goes on during the school year,” said Stuart Oates, a Class of 2020 graduate, who portrayed Monsignor O’Hara. The turnaround time from first casting calls to the day of the musical was only about six “Coonanweeks.just sent a call out to everybody,” Oates explained. “He said, ‘Hey we’re doing ‘Sister Act.’ Audi tions are this day. If you know anybody who’s either a current student or an alumnus, come out and audition.’” Aidan Adycki, an incoming Malverne High senior, portrayed Pablo, one of the thugs chasing after Deloris. He got the role after a rather interesting audition process. “You show up at your time,” he said. “You’ll get a script and for this summer musical, (and) you got to choose your own song. For the regular school musicals, we do a song from the play. You sing and you read your lines, and you’ll find out what you got in a fewAlthoughdays,” she earned the lead role, Hydrick — who graduated from Malverne back in 2015 — said the decision to join the production at all was last-minute. “I actually decided to (do) it the day of auditions,” she said. “I prepared for my audi tion that day and came and got this role.” The musical gave plenty of laughs to the hundreds who brought out their blankets and lawn chairs to see it. And it’s something Sister Mary Clarence would certainly be proud of. “As a sister and a friend, I’ll be a sister ‘til the end. And no one on this Earth can change that fact, I’m part of one terrific sister act.”

“The storyline is pretty much the same (as the 1992 movie), but the music is all different,” said Bria Hydrick, who played lounge singer Deloris Van Cart ier, who disguises herself as Sister Mary Clarence. “I thought it was the perfect choice for an outdoor musical,” Coonan said. “It’s really high energy. It’s got a great story. And there’s even little edgy parts to it.

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 Pear son 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 coro navirus 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 ser vices at the hospital in 2018. During the pandemic, Nazario and his team of house keeping and environmental services staff ers 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 stra tegic growth initiative, designed to improve services for patients across the South Shore. That includes a new four-sto ry patient pavilion — the J Wing — as well as the $35 million medical arts pavilion in Long Beach, and the new Wantagh medi cal arts building. An outdoor reception begins at 6:30 p.m., at The Seawane Club, 1300 Club Drive, in Hewlett.
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 Lin mouth 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 con cluded that the brown water likely stemmed from iron buildup in Malverne’s agingRepresentativespipes. of New York American Water initially blamed the discoloration on iron buildup in residential water heat ers. Eventually, most conceded that Mal verne’s pipes did need replacement, and the company committed $900,000 to replac ing mains throughout Malverne in 2015. Canada-based Liberty Utilities pur chased New York American Water in Jan uary 2022, changing the new subsidiary’s name to Liberty New York Water. Work on Park Boulevard has com menced 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 home owners 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. –Kyle Chin

“I was a special education IEP teacher, so I was in charge of all the IEPs as well as teaching,” she said. An IEP, or individual ized education program, offers a curricu lum tailored to the individual needs of children with disabilities. Scollo said she viewed the new opportu nity with anticipation. “I’m just excited to build relationships with everyone to be honest,” she said. “I enjoy the community and the family atmosphere.” Gegerson joins the district as the assis tant principal for the West Hempstead Sec ondary School. “I was a teacher in Mass apequa and at Nassau Community Col lege,” she said. “I was going through open ings 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“I’mjoked.excited to be a part of the new sec ondary school. I am hoping that I can fos ter 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 his tory 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.”
“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 histori cal events with documents and artefacts.”
“Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.”
■ You tell your child what he should be doing and he doesn’t listen to a thing you say.
■ You tell your husband what you need him to do. He forgets and does exactly what he intended to do in the first place.
So it’s important that you 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?
T here’s so much rage we see on tele vision 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.

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’ curiosi ty 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. –Kyle Chin Courtesy West Hempstead Union Free School District SummEr Camp StudEntS in the West Hempstead School District had a week of creative learning at Camp Invention.
Anger morphing into rage
–Malachy McCourt
No matter how you rationalize what you said or did, in those silent moments of con templation, 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 relation ships 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 pointments slap you in the face. I am sug gesting, however, that hurt feelings, per ceived slights, unexpected disappoint ments, even minor treacheries need to be dealt with fittingly, not taken to the extreme nor viewed as tragic. But how can you do this when you’re so upset?
■ You tell your wife what you want her to do. She insists that things be done the way she wants them done. Becoming angry and resentful may be only the beginning. When emotions surge, righteous indignation may reach a boiling point. Then a sense of entitlement reigns and rage follows. Expressing rage creates trouble!
■ 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 behav ior rather than putting the blame on another.

■ Critically examine your assumptions. Imagine alter native explanations and interpretations for what someone did. If your kid didn’t listen to you, could it be due to his attention prob lem, 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, impul sive words or actions that can quick ly destroy everything you hold dear.

All the student’s expenses for the national convention are covered. “I always like treating the young sters 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 Afri can American history, like a museum or on a tour of the historic parts of the city.”

T hey were large mechanical carou sels, 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 — Sol omon 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 particu lar 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 Muse um 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 pre viously part of the Cradle of Aviation operations next door. The carousel contin ued 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 muse um 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 car ousels still intact, and in 2020, was award ed 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 carou sel, Grasso said Nunley’s is one of 50 clas sic carousels still operating. And even more impressive with its original band’s organ, ticket booth, Wurlitzer calliope, and ringTransitioningmachine.
“The colors and lights and music and motion create an unforgettable multi-sen sory experience that will become part of the memories passed down through the generations,” LeBlanc said.
Even Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman has own fond memories of driv ing with the family to Nunley’s. He joined Harlin and others last week to celebrate its reopening with the children’s museum.
Nunley’s Carousel returns to awe next generation
HERALDHEMPSTEADMALVERNE/WEST—202225,August 10
Saving the carousel was pushed by then-Nassau County Legislator Joseph Scannell, who redirected $420,000 through county funds and through money raised by nonprofit Pennies for Ponies in 2008. The restoration process started a year beforehand by Carousel Works in Ohio, that largest manufacturer of wooden mer ry-go-rounds in the world. It then opened in 2009, spending the next 11 years run Cradle of Aviation. While Nunley’s Carousel may have spent more time in Baldwin than any where else, Gary Farkash — president of the Baldwin Historical Society — says the ride was too big for just any one single community to claim.
The carousel is open from Thursday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets can be bought in advance online at the museum’s website at LICM.org/nunleys for $4. Take a spin
Susan Harlin was one of the first peo ple in line last week to ride Nunley’s Car ousel 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.
lONg IslANd ChIldReN’s Museum president Suzanne LeBlanc addressed the eager children and adults alike waiting to ride the historic Nunley’s Carousel on its opening day on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard with Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman.
operational control of Nunley’s Carousel from Cradle of Avia tion 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 won der, imagination and exploration, the car ousel is an excellent exercise in analyzing options and exploring sensations as chil dren choose the perfect horse to ride on their magical adventure.
NuNley’s CAROusel Is a treasured memory for many in Nassau County and beyond, and is expected to continue influencing generations, now that it’s under operation by the Long Island Children’s Museum at Uniondale’s Museum Row.
“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: Price less.”
“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,”Backthen, the Baldwin attraction fea tured roller coasters, games and, of course, the carousel. “The highlight was always the carou sel,” Blakeman said. “It brings back so many childhood memories.”

Students prepare for the start of a new year

PROBAtIONARy FIREFIghtER JORdAN Reinstein, pictured in full gear, overcame fears of climbing Lakeview Fire Department’s aerial ladder with the help of Firefighter Domenic Ferraro.
Our island looked a lot dif ferent 113 years ago. Coastal areas were filled with sum mer 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 mod ern 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 pur chase the state-of-the-art apparatus.Thatwagon has survived this last century, can still be drawn, and has been brought out of retirement for events in the past, like during the 2009 celebration of Lakev iew’s centennial. The histor ic wagon is currently on dis play at the New York Fire man’s Museum on the Hud son River. Now, instead of a horse drawn wagon, the apparatus the Fire Department of Lakeview uses is up to date and highly modern. The Lakeview Fire Department boasts its Engine 414 and 412, Ladder 411, Squad 413, Ambulances 418 and 4181, Pickup 415, Chief’s Car 4100 and 4101. The Engine 412 serves as a training vehicle for trainees to become chauffeurs. Aside from the seri ousness of the department, most of the fire trucks the Lakeview Fire Department owns have some great nicknames, rang ing from “Fighting Fred” to “Little Giant.”The nicknames of the fire trucks not only show off the special connection the firefighters have to the vehicles they use to protect their town, but also the special bonds that form between the men and women at the firehouse. This same camaraderie was common a little more than a century ago when the department was first established. Over the decades, the firefighters have regular ly hosted baseball games, attend parades, held dances, drill competitions, and have played the roles of Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny for the young kids of Lakeview.Inaddition to keeping the latest equip ment and techniques, the department has catapulted into the 21st century with a strong social media presence. The depart ment’s Facebook page, operated mainly by Chief Michael Joyce, serves as an important link of communication between the department and the people of Lakeview and nearby communities. The page allows people not only stay in the know about local fires and events held by the Lakeview Fire Department, but also to learn how to contact and join the Fire Department.Timeshave not always been kind to the fire department. In fact, the modern Lakeview Fire Department was made through the merger of the original later Hook, Ladder, and Engine Company Number One, with Hose, Engine, and Res cue Company Number Two, a company that had formed some time after the first company. Declining numbers of firefight ers was cited as the reason for the merger. The department is lucky not to have that issue now. The evening following the department’s birthday, one of the depart ment’s newer recruits could be seen practicing ladder climbing and other operations outside the firehouse. Proba tionary Firefighter Jordan Reinstein overcame his own fear of scaling up the 107 feet of the department’s aerial ladder some help and encouragement from his fellow“Teamworkofficers. makes the dream work, and guidance through experience is one of the best ways to learn the job,” wrote Chief Joyce. He further encouraged any one interested in the work of firefighting to attend the department’s drills every Wednesday night at 7:30. 31 members now serve at the Lakeview Fire Department, not counting the EMS drivers and the new trainees. The Lakev iew Fire Department averages over 700 calls a year, ranging between automatic fire alarms and critical calls involving the town’s EMS. After 113 years, the depart ment remains a community fixture.

Pockets on backpacks are both fun and functional. Having multiple compartments will better distribute the weight of the school sup plies, 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.
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 unnat ural stress on the shoulders. The effect of this unbalanced stance can be mistaken for scoliosis. Beyond back pain, kids are also at risk of fall ing from the weight of their packs. Keep your kid’s load light by making sure his or her back pack 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 back pack. Choose Wisely Start the year off right by purchasing a back pack 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 pad ded shoulder straps. If the straps are too narrow, they can cut into your child’s shoulders, poten tially 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.

Backpacks are handy tools that carry an array of gear. Students rely on them to hold books, while hikers and campers utilize back packs 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.

HERALDHEMPSTEADMALVERNE/WEST—202225,August 18 1182932 “Your school district has a multitude of resources to which your child may be entitled. I can partner with you to design an effective, long-term plan to ensure that your child gets all that he or she requires to achieve academic success.” Dr.
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 rea son. 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.
theBanishingbackache
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 advertise ments 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 par ents alike. Do a letter search. While you’re wait ing 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. 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 pic ture 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… convert ible… 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 surpris ing (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 opportuni ties 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.

“I replaced all the ceiling tiles in the hall, repainted the suspended ceiling grid that supported them, repainted the little area they have by the front, and replaced all the lenses for the fluorescent lighting,” he explained.
“The whole troop came out, and there were a lot of people from the troop’s history that came back,” he said.“Troop leaders that are no longer par ticipating came back to honor the success of the Canzoneri boys. It was solemn, but also fun at the same time.”
While many might think of just this final project as what’s needed to become an Eagle Scout, Joseph — now 20 — is the first to admit it’s much, much more than that — rising from tenderfoot through all the different ranks. “Each had different requirements,” he said. Each “had me take up leadership position and dedicate service hours. And all the required merit badges are of vary ing levels of difficulty, and in different subjectMichaelareas.”concentrated on the Cathedral Post’s kitchen and office areas. “It was, I would say, probably one of the hardest things I’ve done in my life,” the 18-year-old said. “It took a lot of effort. I pretty much redid the whole kitchen and office. I was mov ing things and cleaning them. I was changing the walls and ceilings. The carpet had to be redone. It was extremely physically and mentally demanding.”Theolder Joseph joined his wife Mary at the ceremo ny, affixing Eagle Scout pins to their sons’ lapels. Dan Leno, a Scout assistant who served as master of ceremo nies over the proceedings, always enjoys how earning the top rank in Scouting can bring so many together.
For the presentation of colors, each of the brothers was joined by guards of honor — friends they have made in their Scouting career. Michael chose fellow Scouts Sebastian Galafaro and Alex Sigel son to join him, while Joseph selected James Kinney and his cousin, Thomas Callahan. service do not end here.

The troop’s courts of honor — a quarterly ceremony celebrat ing Scouts moving up in ranks — made their home at the Cathedral Post after Covid-19 had shut everything down.First opened in 1933, the building was showing its age. The Canzoneris decided to step up and make a difference. Joseph focused on the building’s ceiling and areas near its entryway.

Sue Grieco/Herald Michael canzoneri and Joseph Canzoneri III were joined at their Eagle Scout ceremony by their parents, Mary and Joseph II, who recently ended a productive tenure as scoutmaster. Although the younger Joseph finished his own service project last year, he held back on a ceremony so the family could celebrate together.

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.

Q. Our attic air conditioning leaked into our ceil ing. 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 ceil ing 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?
Heat moves by one of three mechanical princi ples, 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!

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), 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 sag ging, then it can just be left to dry out. Make cer tain, even using a moisture meter, that the sheet rock 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, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is in the process of suggesting revisions to the schoolPerhapscurriculum.thebiggest disin centive for potential new teachers is salary levels around the coun try. If you live in New York, Massachu setts, California or Alaska, starting sala ries are attractive enough for possible can didates. 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, teach ers are forced to take second jobs in order to survive. A National Education Associa tion 2021 survey found that the national average for entry-level teacher pay is $41,000, and experienced teachers on aver age earn $64,000.

eing a college trustee for 30 years, I have kept a close eye on trends in the field of higher edu cation. 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 Hofs tra, have created comprehensive pro grams to thereshortage?suchones.gramslongermanyofcriticalthereanticipateddents.engineeringattractstuButIneverthatwouldbeashortageteachers,andcollegesnohaveprototrainnewWhydowehaveanationalSadly,aretoomany 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 govern ing 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 student thinking about getting an educa tionFearingdegree.for their personal safety, teach ers and education students are also shun ning 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 col lege-bound student consider teaching as a profession if they had to take firearm training to qualify for a job?

in 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 stand ing 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 spot,”gaveTwoclass,hadthegirl.pipsqueaksuper-sensitiveofaBytheendoffirstweek,IcriedtwiceinandinWeekthemeangirlsmethe“blackwhicheveryonewho’sread“TreasureIsland”knowsisfatal:You’llbedeadby the end of the day. I didn’t die, but that’s only a technicali ty. This all comes back to me as we begin the new school year after over two years of home schooling, Zoom classes and dys functional education amid the coronavi rus pandemic. Our kids and grandkids are survivors of a massively destabilizing sea son 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, every thing 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.In1957 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 rip ple 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 pan demic 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, with real teachers for a full day. But nor malcy is a relative thing. There are children suffering from school anxiety. We have a mental health crisis among our teenagers. For good rea son, 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 bed room 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 schoolWho’sdistricts.goingto pay for all the school 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 shop ping. 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 con nected to their phones. Many mental health professionals see this as an addic tion, and the connection to social media as an impediment to interpersonal commu nication 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 restric tions 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.

An article by Emily Tate in the March issue of Mother Jones magazine outlined the expanding number of teachers hold ing second jobs. The reporter interviewed 30 people, all of whom worked in such gigs as bartenders, delivery ser vices, 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 pre pared for classroom chal lenges. Some observers would say that there’s noth ing wrong with teachers looking to supplement their income, but others would say that teach ers shouldn’t be forced to grade papers at 2 a.m.Many years ago I was asked to repre sent 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 ing salaries for entry-level teachers be boosted by 10 percent. Those requests were rebuffed, and the only salary discus sion 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 recent ly advertised that they would accept any one 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 turn ing their backs on studying education in college and one of the most important jobs in our society, and why experienced teach ers 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 thou sands of dollars, and may be further rich ly 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 teach ing profession, but children as well.

W e don’t know much about him, except that he was 61 years old and he had visited a live animal market in Wuhan, China. 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 call ing 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 coronavi rus is now an endemic rather than a pan demic, 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 andAnddeath.yes, people are still dying from the virus, at a clip of more than 600 per day in the United States, according to some esti mates. That’s one person every two min utes.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 close ly resemble Covid-19? First and foremost, we must stop focus ing on who is getting the virus, and how many, but instead on what impact it’s hav ing on hospitals and mortality. Those num bers were important before there was a vaccine, but not today, when a vast majori ty 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 oth ers.If you start showing symptoms, get test ed right away. If you don’t, wait at least fiveIfdays.youdo 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 medi cation, and your other symptoms are improving. Still, even if you can end isola tion, you should still wear a mask through the 10th Whileday.it’s nice to focus on other things in life — and in the news — rather than the coronavirus, we can’t forget about it.

Herald editorial
letters A road plan to nowhere?
To the ThankEditor: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 Assembly woman Michaelle Solages, a Demo crat 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 thor oughfare. 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?
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.
Covid-19 is still here, so what does that mean?
Additionally, would the plan involve destroying sections of the Southern State’s forests and grassy medians — among the South Shore’s few uninter rupted green spaces — to make way for the HOTs?

To the Editor: Re Randi Kreiss’s column “Florida Gov. DeSantis: teachers need to be educat ed (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 man age 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 believe that all you need is a box of Cray olas 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 con stituency, 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.

Another seasoned politician, New York City mayor Eric Adams, has actually joined Republican lawmakers in demand ing 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 some one that steals an apple. We’re talking about someone that has repeatedly used violence in our city: robberies, grand lar cenies, burglaries, shootings, carrying a gun.”Hochul will not be alone on the ballot this November. Long Island state senators who voted with their progressive col leagues are going to be asked by voters why they “went along” on progressive leg islation that is now destroying a funda mental principle of American life: free dom from fear.
opinions Leading up to Election Day, we’ll
focus off the issue that may decide wheth er 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 dan gerous 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 Accordingsociety.topublished 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 statis tics began to be recorded by the department. Some 524 police officers had resigned, and 1,072 had retired as of the beginning of the sum mer — a 38 percent increase over the same period last year. We should be more than frightened, because these law enforcement pro fessionals 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 Lead er 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.Ifasked, 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, and the obviously destructive nature of “bail reform” to the very idea of law enforcement.Thiscrisis 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 assaultStandingcharges.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 char gers. And then there’s the defendant some have described as a poster child of this cri sis. Tejinder Singh was arrested for alleg edly throwing bricks through the win dows or windshields of 27 cars parked in East Meadow during a three-day vandal ism 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 voterrich 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 Alba ny has led to an explosion of street crime?
The State Department of Transporta tion proposed a plan 20 years ago to widen and add bus lanes to the Southern State.The agency quietly dropped it, howev er, in the face of strong opposition by environmentally conscious civic groups like the Massapequa-based Long Island Progressive Coalition, which was con cerned about the destruction of green spaces.Wealso 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 acci dents — and congestion. History tells us that adding lanes only increases traffic — and Finally,crashes.who authored and funded the report on HOTs for the Southern State — LICA, the state, a third party or a combi nation thereof? It’s unclear in Chin’s story, but it’s an important question. LICA represents the interests of build ers, not the hundreds of thousands of South Shore residents who would be affected for years by a costly and terrainaltering undertaking such as this. Where are the voices of local residents?SCOTTBRINTON Merrick Randi got it right again
