FIRE RIPPED THROUGH a row of businesses and apartments early Sunday morning. Firefighters from across Nassau County responded to extinguish the fast-moving blaze.
Fire destroys businesses, apartments in Lakeview By CHRISTINA DALY cdaly@liherald.com
Fire tore through a row of businesses and apartments at Woodfield Road and Lakeview Avenue in Lakeview Sunday around 4 a.m., with 24 fire departments responding, from local departments in the Lakeview-Malverne area to some from as far away as P o r t Wa s h i n g t o n a n d Manhasset. A cause was not reported at press time. All occupants
of the apartments were uninjured. Five firefighters, however, were treated for smoke inhalation. More than twodozen were displaced from
their homes. The structure that burned was reportedly among the oldest in the hamlet of Lakeview, population roughly 5,600.

WHAT’S NEWS IN AND OUT OF THE CLASSROOM
West Hempstead schools recognize 9/11 On Sept. 10, students throughout the West Hempstead School District took part in several activities in recognition of Sept. 11, 2001, and in honor of the thousands of lives lost that day. The district’s youngest learners at Chestnut Street School watched a video on “finding the helpers,” geared toward teaching children that there are many people to whom they can turn during difficult times. Principal Faith Tripp also quoted Mister Rogers to the students telling them, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” At Cornwell Avenue School, second-graders engaged in a 9/11-inspired gallery walk. Students answered the essential question, “How can studying pictures of the past teach us about history?” They posed questions about what they saw and discussed their questions with partners. Cornwell students also created an illustrated quilt piece that will become part of the school’s “heroes quilt” honoring those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, as well as those who helped on that day. Students at George Washington School paused for a moment of silence, followed by the national anthem, performed by music teachers Chris Lovaz and Taina Brantley. Additionally, students engaged in read-alouds and watched videos throughout the day, followed by discussions of the Sept. 11 attacks. West Hempstead Middle School students observed the day with an extended moment of silence and memoriam during the morning announcements. Social studies teachers led conversations with students about the events of that day, who then completed a chart about what they have learned about 9/11.

First day of school unlocks possibilities The rain didn’t put a damper on the excitement emanating from the Malverne Union Free School District, as students and staff were in high spirits for the district’s first day of school on Sept. 9. While entering their respective buildings, students were greeted with open arms and were ready to unlock possibilities for the 2021-2022 school year. They settled into their classrooms, were introduced to their new learning environments and participated in interactive exercises with other classmates.

It took a couple of tries, but Clarke secured its first-ever football victory on its new turf field behind a strong ground attack led by senior quarterback Nick Giardino. The Rams defeated visiting Malverne, 30-6, under a blazing hot sun last Saturday afternoon as Giardino had rushing and passing touchdowns as well as rushing and passing two-point conversions. He and junior Justin Somyak (one touchdown and two-point conversion) both rushed for 100 yards, while junior Jack Forte scored twice and made 12 defensive stops as Clarke improved to 2-1 in Conference IV. The Mules, who orchestrated an 11-play scoring drive encompassing most of the third quarter to get on the board on senior DeAndre Blagrove’s touchdown run, slipped to 1-2. “It was the hottest game I’ve ever played in,” said Somyak, who opened the scoring 5:26 into the game with a 16-yard touchdown run. “We’re well-conditioned and came ready to play, but it was tough out there. It feels good to get our second win in a row.” First-year head coach Kevin O’Hagan lauded Clarke’s balance and its performance up front, led by seniors Tyler Benowitz, Liam Farrell and Michael Delaney with plenty of help from junior Joe Buffolino and sophomore Anthony Velez. “This was our best game so far,” O’Hagan said. “We played great on both sides of the line and on offense, our tight end Daniel McGrady, helped us set the edge with his blocking.” The Rams scored on each of their three first-half possessions and also stopped Malverne inside the 10 on its opening drive. Giardino marched the offense 92 yards on its second possession, capped by his 16-yard touchdown run and two-point toss to Somyak for a 16-0 lead. Giardino kept the chains moving with completions to McGrady and Sean Welsh for first downs. Giardino then directed a 69-yard scoring drive just before the half as Clarke took a 24-0 lead. Forte, who added a touchdown run in the fourth quarter, caught an 8-yard scoring strike. “Jack is a big-time

With young quarterbacks Farvens Ulysse (junior) and Chad Wesley (sophomore) both getting reps, the visitors used 10:23 of clock on their lone scoring drive of the afternoon. Junior Norman Brown’s four touches totaling 30 yards and two catches by sophomore William Hartley set up Blagrove’s

But, Clarke’s a really good team so give them credit.” The Mules will try to get to .500 when they close the first half of the season at home versus Friends Academy on Saturday at 2 p.m. Clarke visits West Hempstead of Friday for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff.

West Hempstead street fair returns Oct. 17 lmargaria@liherald.com
The West Hempstead Community Support Association has revived the annual West Hempstead Street Fair with bouncy houses, food trucks, shopping and vendors, all on Nassau Boulevard between Hempstead Avenue and Johnsons Lane from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 17. The fair was canceled last year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Now WHCSA President Maureen Greenberg invites locals to “come and enjoy the day with friends and family,” as admission and parking are free to all. Nassau County Fairs staff will help run the event and plan to be ready as early as possible to help guide vendors to their space and provide assistance with set up. Staff will also stay to help through the end of the day and ensure that litter is removed from the area before leaving. County-licensed food trucks and food vendors as well as art, craft and gift vendors will be part of the street fair. Children can enjoy crafting and other activities during the event next to Halls Pond. The Lakeview Fire Department will be in attendance along with other local organizations such as the Boy and Girl scouts, who will be fundraising to support their programs as well.

Previous street fairs have included inflatable rides for the children, mechanical bulls, rock wall climbing, trackless train rides, an array of food and beverages, and live entertainment. Heather McNeill, a Lakeview Fire Department ex-chief and current vice president, likes that the fair has returned, especially after the past 18 months of battling the pandemic. “The street fair is good for the community, especially after Covid, because you can socialize with your neighbors while outdoors and enjoy the community at large,” she said. “Sunshine and fresh air does wonders for not only physical health but mental health as well.” The West Hempstead Community Support and Civic Association is a nonprofit, public service organization that strives to “make West Hempstead a little better every day,” according to its official Facebook page. The street address for the fair is 671 Nassau Blvd., West Hempstead.
THE WEST HEMPSTEAD Street Fair will return after a one-year Covid-19 hiatus.

Working behind the scenes while recording Malverne’s history digitally, Malverne TV station manager Frank Skelly said he enjoys helping to document different events, meetings and programs throughout the community. A lifelong Malvernite who has worked with Malverne TV for the past 25 years, Skelly was recognized for his efforts during the village’s Sept. 1 board meeting. “It’s weird to have something saying that I’ve been doing anything for 25 years of my life,” said Skelly, who received a citation from Malver ne Mayor Keith Corbett. “It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long, it’s just something that I like to do. It started out as a way to keep playing with expensive equipment right out of college, but it into something more.” KEITH CORBETT turned For roughly 30 years, MalMalverne mayor ver ne TV has documented many of the village’s public events that include monthly board meetings, the village’s Memorial Day ceremony and the Holiday Tree Lighting, among other events. “With Frank and the other volunteers involved, we wouldn’t be able to pull any of this off,” Corbett said. “It’s greatly appreciated and it’s truly a service that these residents deserve.

Town begins pothole-patrol initiative baldwineditor@liherald.com
Courtesy Bergkamp Inc.
At the start of this initiative in August, the pothole patrol was receiving about 15 calls per day, but that figure recently dropped to five. Hempstead officials did not comment on the average time it takes to fill a pothole from call to filled pothole; however, in a statement from March 2021, town officials said the service is filling 1,000 potholes per day. “By acquiring these new vehicles, the Town of Hempstead is doubling down on our commitment toward improving and maintaining roadway infrastructure,” Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin said. “Be on the lookout for the Town of Hempstead’s pothole buster coming to a neighborhood near you.” Pothole busters service all of the Town of Hempstead, excluding roads

Greis Park to host concert for Wounded Warriors By STEVE GROGAN newsroom@liherald.com
Malverne firefighters will join the Lynbrook Fire Department’s volunteers, as Lynbrook will host their annual Concert and Block Party for Wounded Warriors on Sept. 25 from 4 to 10 p.m. at Greis Park in Lynbrook. The event will benefit Nassau County Firefighters Operation Wounded Warrior, a nonprofit charity comprising volunteer firefighters that has worked since 2004 to help wounded servicem e n a n d wo m e n , including locally at the veterans’ hospital in Northport. It is not affiliated with the Wounded Warrior projects, and volunteers receive no compensation for the work they do. Malverne firefighters have been members of this concert committee for several years. This year will mark the 10th time Lynbrook has hosted the event, which was canceled last year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Rockville Centre firefighters will also be in attendance to help support the wounded warriors. While Lynbrook firefighters host a concert, other Nassau County fire departments host Doo Wop shows, spaghetti dinners, golf outings, road races, motorcycle runs, T-shirt sales, and other fundraising events to benefit NCFF-OWW In the previous nine years, Lynbrook’s firefighters have raised nearly $200,000 from the concert and block
party to benefit the wounded. And, each year, wounded soldiers still receiving treatment at Fort Belvoir, in Virginia, and Bethesda, in Maryland, travel to Lynbrook to attend the event. The Rockville Centre Inn on Sunrise Highway provides free rooms for the guests and their families. There will be at three bands that will play during the concert, all of them donating their time and talents for the cause. The cost of admission is a $20 d o n at i o n a n d w i l l include food. There will also be about 150 prizes raffled that evening thanks to the generosity of members of the Chamber of Commerce and many stores and shops, as well as other major cor porations who donate prizes. Additionally, JetBlue Airways is again continuing to support Lynbrook’s efforts to help the wounded by donating two roundtrip tickets to anywhere they fly, which will also be raffled separately that evening. There is a second prize as part of that raffle for a Traeger Pro Series grill, and a third prize of a Yeti cooler. The raffle cost is $10. The event will take place in front of the Recreation Building at Greis Park, the entrance for which is on Horton Avenue between Merrick Road and Sunrise Highway. People seeking additional information can contact former LFD Chief Kevin Bien at (516) 993-6074. Those that cannot attend, but wish to make a donation can mail checks to NCFF-OWW, P.O. Box 295, Garden City, 11530.
MALVERNE/WEST HEMPSTEAD HERALD — September 23, 2021
THE TOWN OF Hempstead purchased the vehicles through the Highway Department at a reduced price of $95,030 each to fill 1,000 potholes a day.
By MATT HUGHS The Town of Hempstead began its “pothole patrol” in August, an on-call service that fills potholes on roads within the town. Crews were trained over the summer by the Highway Department to operate two “pothole-buster” vehicles. In 2018, when the town marked its 50,000th pothole repair, Alan Jasper described the town’s method as “cut and paste,” with a small, square segment of the street being cut out and filled in with new pavement. He said this is a more efficient method than the former repair process, which often resulted in potholes reforming. The town’s new pothole-filling trucks, the BergKamp FP5 Flameless All-inOnes, fill potholes quicker, keep the asphalt constantly heated through electric heating and are “able to easily pour out asphalt to continuously fill potholes.” Including the drive, crews operating the vehicles consist of three to four workers. Highway Department officials said they are already seeing an increase in the speed of pothole repairs. Hempstead purchased the vehicles through the Highway Department at a reduced price after careful consideration whether the trucks would be benefit the town. Originally valued at $350,000 per truck, the town purchased the two vehicles at the price of $190,060, or $95,030 each. The money to make this purchase came from the Highway Department’s vehicle acquisition budget, according to town officials.

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

The lowdown on insulation

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

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

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

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

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

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

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