HHS grad Messiah Clark dies By JeFFReY BeSSeN jbessen@liherald.com
He had a unique name, he had an infectious smile, and when he played, he played to win — and to inspire his teammates. Messiah Ajayi Clark, a 2015 graduate of Hewlett High School who lived in Valley Stream, died in a July 21 car accident in Hempstead. He was 24. Given the Biblical name Messiah by his father, Isaac, Clark, by many accounts, did his best to live up to his majestic moniker. “He was free-spirited, a go-getter who wanted to flourish and made everyone smile,” Flora
MeSSiAh ClARK Ajayi said of her only child. “When he played sports, he played hard, and always wanted to share the winning as a team,
not as individuals. He wanted to boost others up and make everyone better.” Clark played football and basketball at Hewlett High, and was considered a prominent athlete, with good size and skill. A twoway starter in football, he carried the ball as a running back and tackled his opposite numbers as a linebacker. He was a forward on the basketball squad. Bill Dubin is a special-education teacher at Hewlett High who has taught in the Hewlett-Woodmere School District for nearly 35 years and has been the boys’ Continued on page 16

Two Bayview Gardens apartments separate drobertson@liherald.com
A quiet summer Sunday evening was shattered as the floors in two of the four apartments in the two-story Building 10 of the Bayview Gardens apartment complex at 385 Bayview Ave. in Inwood separated between 5:30 and 6 p.m. Amazingly, no one was injured and everyone was evacuated. “First all the doors fell off, and I heard a boom like sound,” said resident Mozella Hawkins, “all my doors fell from the closets, and one fell on my arm. There were cracks on the walls, it was a disaster. I called the supervisor, I called 911, and said I did not want it to be like Florida. I was frightened to death.” Hawkins was referring to the Surfside, Fla. Building collapse that occurred on June 24. As of July 22, 97 people were confirmed dead The floor separation was nowhere near as severe, but Town of Hempstead Code Enforcement officials responded and posted warning signs on the outside apartment doors of the house-like structure. Residents describe the damage as an internal collapse. The signs read: “Warning Structure Unfit for Human Occupancy,” and “Unsafe Structure Do Not Enter.” Hawkins, who was one of the few residents at the scene later in the morning, said she is scared, angry and does not know where she will be living. “They said

FLOORS IN TwO apartments in Building 10 at the Bayview Gardens apartment complex separated on July 26. they are going to find something, they are looking, and I am waiting for a place,” she said. The “they” Hawkins is referring to is the town. She is one of the many residents frustrated that their building collapsed. Barbara Thompson, outreach coordi-
nator for St. John Baptist Church, also in Inwood, is asking for support and assistance during this time. “We are hoping the whole place will be inspected,” she said. There are other tenants here who are complaining. This was very frightening, the collapse started from the top of
the apartments all the way down.” The three other tenants who live in the building were evacuated and declined to comment about the collapse. “We are asking for Ms. Hawkins to relocate to vacant apartments in the area, and we are looking for help to replace her furniture and her clothing, just about everything was destroyed,” Thompson said. “We are hoping the community can help surround these tenants with what they need.” The apartment complex’s landlord, Jennifer Sparling said she is focused on addressing this issue and making sure tenants are in a safe space. “Anyone who did not have a place to go last night I helped them out to make sure they found a place,” she said. “If they have to go to a hotel, we will reimburse them, most of the tenants went to stay with friends or family.” Sparling said she is bringing in an engineer to review the other apartment structures in the complex. Thompson is asking for donations of clothes and furniture for the Bayview Gardens residents. Call her at (917) 6621768. Financial donations can be mailed to 4 Henry Street, Inwood, N.Y. 11096.

Moving up the junior firefighting ladder By DANIEL ROBERTSON drobertson@liherald.com
A dedicated community volunteer who is a leader in the Hewlett Junior Fire Department was elected president of the Nassau County Junior Firefighters Association, as Hewlett resident Jared Glassman moved into the position earlier than expected because the previous president vacated the post. Glassman, 16, a rising senior at Hewlett High School and a captain with the Hewlett Junior Fire Department, who also focuses on his academics and his continuing love for the school’s band program, said he is primed for both roles. “Participating in weekly drills for fire and EMS (Emergency Medical Services), going to meetings, attending local community service events prepares me so when I am 18, I can become real firefighter,” he said. “When there is a fire, I can be voice of reassurance, and I can provide support and be a calming sense during peoples’ tough times.” Glassman became involved in the Hewlett department early eighth grade when a neighbor thought he would be a good fit for the junior fire department. “She sent me to a meeting with her son and I have fallen in love with it ever since,” he said. His pride in his civic service is evident especially when he wears his fire department T-shirt because he understands the value the fire department holds in his community. “It is an honor to give back to my community every day, over the years I have adopted a responsibility and I am aware that people look to us on the worst day
of their lives,” Glassman said. “When I am out in public, and I am wearing a fire department T-shirt I am cognizant of the way I am seen because I understand I am an asset in the community and I take that very seriously,” Glassman said. He is embracing his new role as president of the Nassau County Junior Firefighters association and is ready to continue to build culture. “I want to make it more appealing, and get more people involved,” Glassman said. “I want us to change and create a friendly environment where everyone can get to know each other and share our ideas without judgment.” His mother, Claire, has supported her son’s passion and is extremely proud of his accomplishments. She thinks that serving in the local fire department and being part of similar organizations are things teenagers should be exposed to. “I think every child should be given the opportunity to see if it something for them,” Claire said. “They are mentored by professionals within the community. It is a culture of kids who hang out together, share common values and ultimately will be safe on the weekends.” Glassman said he embraces a new journey in his life and recognizes he would not be at the same place without being a junior firefighter. “The Hewlett Junior Fire Department has opened so many doors for me,” he said. “It is such an amazing experience it has absolutely changed the trajectory of my life. I encourage all parents and kids that are reading this to get involved. To join or for more information on the Hewlett Junior Firefighters, go to https://www.hewlettfd.org/.

After extensively researching Jewish history on Long Island, Brad Kolodny found himself with much more historical information that could be included in his two books. He decided to put that knowledge to good use by founding the online Jewish Historical Society of Long Island. As part of his research, Brad Kolodny had visited and photographed every synagogue on Long Island. “I wanted to tell a comprehensive story about every synagogue past and present in Nassau and Suffolk County,” Kolodny said. “Over the course of four years, I researched every synagogue building and visited every synagogue building.” The book on synagogues is “Seeking Sanctuary: 125 Years of Synagogues on Long Island,” published in 2019 and his other book is “The Jews of Long Island: 1705-1918,” to be published next year. Kolodny founded the Jewish Historical Society of Long Island to create a comprehensive collection of Judaica (ceremonial art), other items, documents and stories about Jewish life on the Island. “There was so much information in both of these books that I gathered that couldn’t be included,” Kolodny said. “That’s where the idea of the Jewish historical society came. There’s just so much information that people don’t know about and I wanted to be able to bring it to light within an organization that will not just document the Jewish experience on Long Island, but also keep artifacts and records of the Jewish community.” The society is fairly new – they first started the collection about a month ago – so the online collection features nine items including a Glen Cove postcard, an Ellis Island inspection card, and a brass

candelabra. The organization is looking for donations of items from any time period. “Anything from photographs to Jewish items from Jewish owned businesses that were on Long Island, or ritual items,” Kolodny said. “Really anything that helps describe Jewish life on Long Island.” Jay Steinberg, former president of Huntington Jewish Center and member of the Huntington Historical Society, is currently the treasurer of the society. He began his interest in local Jewish history in Huntington. “My initial interest was through the local Jewish history of Huntington Jewish Center and felt that other communities on Long Island ought to be doing more of the historical work that's necessary to keep everything alive,” Steinberg said. On Sept. 5, the Jewish Historical Society of Long Island is hosting an event to honor the first synagogue built in 1896 in Setauket. “We are going to be celebrating the 125th anniversary of the opening of that synagogue,” Kolodny said. “The building still stands on main street in Setauket, but it is no longer being used as a synagogue. It’s owned by the United Methodist church.” The JHSLI is partnering with the church and the North Shore Jewish Center, a congregation whose history dates to 1893. “It’s a perfect way to pay tribute to the pioneers who started our congregation and at the same time bring awareness to the broader Setauket community about the importance of this building,” said Rabbi Aaron Benson, the Jewish Center’s spiritual leader.

How do you know you’re ready for retirement?
A
It’s not just the finances
n intriguing finding emerged from a RAND Corp. survey on Americans and working conditions. It turned out that 40 percent of employees 65 and older previously retired, but something lured them back. In some cases, financial troubles might have been the cause. But often the reason is that people neglect an important component in their retirement planning. They don’t think about what they will do with their extra time, or how they will give their life the meaning and purpose work provided, says Patti Hart, co-author with her husband, Milledge, of “The Resolutionist: Welcome to the AntiRetirement Movement.” “Money is certainly important, but it’s not the only thing that determines whether your retirement is a success,” she says.“It may be that you are financially ready to retire, but are a long way from being emotionally ready.” Know your catalysts. Identify milestones or signs that will let you know you are ready to embark on a new post-work life, Milledge Hart says. Yes, that could be when you’ve accumulated a certain amount of savings. But it might also be related to when your spouse quits their job, or when your children graduate college and head out on their own. “Knowing your catalysts can mean the differ-
ence between successfully transitioning to a fulfilled life after your career is over, or boomeranging back to the full-time workforce simply because you didn’t know why you quit to begin with,” he says. Plan ahead to avoid separation anxiety from work. For many people, moving from the excitement and fulfillment of a career to the quietness of retirement is too much, Patti Hart says. They develop a form of “separation anxiety,” longing for their old way of life rather than venturing boldly into the new one. “You need to make a plan for what you want to do in your new post-career life so you aren’t floundering when you get there,” she says. Get comfortable with the uncomfortable. At work, people are thrown into uncomfortable situations and have no choice but to face them head on. In retirement, it’s easier to avoid discomfort, but doing so diminishes your confidence, and you miss out on opportunities for personal growth and fun, Milledge Hart says. “It would seem counterintuitive to think that being uncomfortable brings happiness, but it does,” he says. “Go at life as if it’s an adventure — because it is. When you accomplish something you didn’t think you could, you get a jolt of endorphins that drives you to your next challenge.”
Learn to be your own best friend. Even when people want to try a new hobby or activity, they sometimes are afraid to do it alone.“In retirement, you might not have the social network you once did,” Patti Hart says.“You may long for a good friend you can rely on.” But if you think about it, she says, you already have that friend — yourself. So as you prepare for retirement, be ready to go solo on occasion.
“Don’t convince yourself that you are going to be destined to a life of watching evening game shows and baking, unless of course that is what you love to do,” Milledge Hart says.“Nothing is off limits, so reach for the stars. Look forward rather than backward, and embrace the new you.” Above photo: A happy retirement is about so much more than having enough money to pay your bills.

National study examines new proven approach to hearing clarity
A
s anyone who has hearing loss — or has a loved one with hearing loss — knows, it is much easier to make speech louder than to make speech clearer – especially with background noise. Fortunately, a new approach to solving the hearing clarity problem has been introduced for the first time this year that — in the hands of experts — can be significantly more effective than previous technology. “An advanced form of artificial intelligence called Deep Neural Network (DNN) that has been used for applications such as facial recognition has been made available for the first time this year in hearing devices for the purpose of improving speech understanding, especially in background noise,” said Hearing Center of Long Island director and audiologist Dr. Lawrence Cardano, Au.D. “Our patients who were using advanced hearing device technology previously have reported significant improvement using this new approach.” When properly customized, the benefits of this new technology proven in laboratory studies include: √ Selective attention significantly better than with the best previous technology. √ Speech understanding in noise significantly improved over the best previous technology. √ Memory recall for conversation demonstrated to be significantly better compared with the best previous technology. Hearing Center of Long Island in Valley Stream is currently participating in a national Hearing Clarity

Seniors on social media
How and why older folks get in on the fun Social media isn’t just for young adults. According to a Pew Research Center survey, nearly 70 percent of U.S. adults log on to Facebook, including 73 percent of respondents ages 50 to 64 and half of those 65 and older. Digital content strategist Renee Clare-Kovacs says seniors are embracing the “communities” aspect of Facebook. “They like the ability to keep up with events at church, their alma mater, sports, friends, and, of course, family all in the same place,” she says. “They are less intimidated there than Instagram which requires the additional steps of using their camera and uploading — throw in hashtags and emojis and they’re out.” Getting Social During the pandemic, many seniors have been relying on social media to connect with and “see” their loved ones. Maria Leonard Olsen, a 58-year-old attorney, uses Facebook; her 79-yearold mother uses Facebook and Instagram to see pictures of her children and grandchildren. “I see that libraries, community centers and village groups do training for how to use social media,” says Olsen, who’s the author of “50 After 50: Reframing the Next Chapter of Your Life.” She advises people to “take advantage of these free classes and to learn how various social media platforms work.” David Henderson II, who’s now over 60, started using social media to get in touch with his high school and college friends. These days, he uses it to talk about how he manages his diabetes. “I started sharing my diabetic journey with family and friends because so many of them were dealing with the same issue,” he says. Social Platforms While sites such as Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok skew younger, many seniors are on those platforms too. For example, Mediakix ranked the top 10 elderly Instagram influencers, including actor George Takei and trendsetter Iris Apfel; each have more than a million followers. Seniors are finding success and connections on TikTok, too. The Wall Street Journal reported that Stephen Austin’s cooking videos, which he posts under the name @omsteve, short for Old Man Steve, netted the 82-year-old over a million followers. “There are some adventurous seniors who are

joining TikTok,” says Clare-Kovacs.“TikTok embraces an authentic aesthetic so they don’t mind poking fun at themselves.” Creating and Consuming Content Social media — which includes sites such as Pinterest and LinkedIn — offers a mix of entertainment, news, hobbies, virtual socialization and more. Users can share articles, photos, recipes, and present their opinions. Or, they can just consume other people’s content and not create any content of their own. “Even though the older generation is using more social media, around 32 percent of senior users don’t post at all, they only see and consume what others post,” says Sharon van Donkelaar, chief marketing officer at Expandi, a LinkedIn automation tool. Social Safety Be careful not to overshare, advises Jolene Caufield, the senior advisor at Healthy Howard, a nonprofit organization advocating for healthy lifestyle choices. “Seniors have the misconception that people on the internet will not use their anecdotes or information for malicious purposes, so they overshare,” she says, noting that some seniors even post that they’re home alone, which could attract the attention of criminals. Caufield warns that oversharing also increases the risk of unauthorized access to a senior’s social media accounts, since security questions might be things they share on social media. Cybersecurity experts warn all social media users, especially seniors, not to click on any links they receive via private messages or on the advertising posts they see on the sites. That should reduce the chances of malware invading their computer system. Still, seniors don’t need to be scared about social media. Henderson tells fellow seniors that “Unless you have a flip phone, you’ve already embraced the technology, so you may as well use it to stay in touch with your grandkids, friends, and relatives you rarely get chance to see.” It’s a convenient tool to stay in touch, as well as find and share information. And the many seniors already using social media prove that it can be for anyone.

Hewlett High grad’s product goes national Lama Letts, a Hewlett High School graduate, class of 2012, who created the sports drink Hylux, launched the vitamin-enhanced water product nationally through Walmart.com. “We are extremely excited to have Hylux sold on Walmart.com,” Lett said in a news release. “We created Hylux with a mission, and it was born out of need to provide athletes with nutritional hydration as an alternative to sugary sports drinks. To have Walmart be a part of that mission is a major milestone for the company and shows their desire to help people lead healthy lifestyles while supporting Black and millennial founded companies.” Letts, now 27, was diagnosed with myocarditis, an inflammation of the middle layer of the heart wall, at the beginning of his senior year at Hewlett High, which put an end to his track and field career as a runner and hurdler. He previously told the Herald that his doctor suggested a healthier, more nutrient-rich diet. In 2014, Lett invented Hylux while he attended Northeastern University. It is a vitaminenhanced water that is low calorie, low sugar and high nutrient drink. “Functional beverages on the market contain too much sugar and too many unhealthy ingredients,” he told the Her-

pany has taken on notable investors from the National Basketball Association and began working with a large beverage distributor – leading to Hylux's nationwide availability at multiple retailers. The launch on Walmart.com comes nine days before the United States
observes National Black Business Month in August – a day established more than a decade ago to commemorate Black-owned businesses and organization. Letts hopes the launch will also help encourage people to lead healthier lifestyles. “Particularly at a time when more people are reconsidering their lifestyle choices during the pandemic, being mindful of a healthy diet has never been more important – especially in the Black community,” he stated in the release, noting that his parents immigrated to the U.S. from Jamaica before he was born. “With our products now being sold on Walmart. com, we know that more people will have access to healthy alternatives.” Hylux consists of four different electrolytes: B-Complex vitamins, 100 percent of the daily value of Vitamin C, and more potassium than a banana. The 80-calorie beverage quickly hydrates with both the nutrition of a sports drink and the health benefits of water – all with less sugar than similar drinks, according to Letts. There are several flavors, including strawberry kiwi, red dragon fruit and pomegranate raspberry. Hylux is a product of Elite Super Foods © Delaware C-Corp. –Jeffrey Bessen

Inwood man dies after crash Inwood resident Henry Owens died on July 25 from injuries he sustained after he was ejected from a Sanitary District 1 sanitation truck near the intersection of Burnside Avenue and Rockaway Turnpike after being hit by a semi tractor-trailer as Owens was backing into a location at 4:55 a.m., on July 23 in Cedarhurst. Owens, 67, sustained multiple injuries and was taken to the hospital by a Nassau County police ambulance, police said. “Henry was a beloved part of the Sanitary District 1 family for over 40 years and was loved and respected by all,” said S.D. 1 Superintendent George Pappas. “He was a gentle giant and he will be missed by all.” Fellow Inwood resident Sasha Young considered Owens an “amazing guy,” who was “hardworking, honest and funny.” “You can’t find a more supportive and caring granddad,” said Young, who watches one of Owens grandson’s play basketball at the Five Towns Community Center in Lawrence through the current Police Athletic League program and had another Owens grandson in one of Young’s classes at the Lawrence Primary School at the Number Two School.

continued from front page Lindsey said he greatly appreciated Robinson’s skills as a counselor as well as her dedication and support. “She has been more than what I need,” he said. “She is incredibly supportive of me, and I consider her a friend. She cares about the community and people, and you do not find that. People who are mandated to the program are of all nationalities. Before this program started, there was nowhere to go. People are starting to spread the word that there is help back at Five Towns Community Center again.” The Committee on Drug Abuse was originally established in 1969. In addition to court-mandated clients, referrals for those 16 and older are generated by hospitals. “We receive our referrals through diversion court” — a legal form of intervention intended to change a young person’s behavior — “and drug-treatment court as well,” Robinson explained. “We get our primary clients through mandated sources. We also service community members who are self-referrals [as well as from] hospitals and schools.” Five Towns Community Center Executive Director K. Brent Hill said he was optimistic that $60,000 in grant money from the federal American Rescue Plan will aid the committee’s program. “We are well trusted and known in the community, so we get referrals from community members,” Hill said. “We are going to use those funds to expand our telehealth capabilities.” With the number of overdoses growing since the Covid-19 outbreak, the Committee on Drug Abuse has used several services in an effort to reverse the trend. “We call clients to check in, have orientation meetings, make sure the peer support and family relationships are

state will receive in what is considered a landmark opioid settlement. The money will come from drug distributors AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, McKesson and Johnson & Johnson and four chain pharmacies — Walgreens, Walmart, CVS & Rite Aid — County Executive Laura Curran stated in a July 20 news release.

basketball coach for 21. “He was a talented competitor,” Dubin said of Clark. “He played physically and with passion.” Dubin noted that Clark volunteered with the basketball team after he graduated, attending games and working with the players in the off-season to help them improve their skills. “He would sit in the stands behind the bench at games, then he would meet with the rest of the coaching staff after games as we recapped games,” Dubin recalled. “He had a player’s point of view that was always interesting. He had a smile that was a mile wide. It was infectious. He was great to be around. He will be missed by all that knew him.” After graduating from Hewlett, Clarke earned a bachelor’s degree from the Pennsylvania College of Technology and was making a career as an aviation mechanic, working at Hawthorne Global Aviation Services in Ronkonkoma. He had passed two of the five required tests to earn certification as a mechanic. “Messiah was personable and made friends easily,” said former Hewlett head football coach Jay Iaquinta. “He was respectful, unselfish and a natural lead-
er.” Grieving family and friends gathered outside the high school for a remembrance vigil two days after Clarke died. “He lit up the room — you couldn’t be sad around him,” Ajayi said. “At the vigil at the high school, all the students had a story [about Messiah].” Dubin, who attended the vigil and thinks of his players like sons, said, “No matter how old they are, they will always be boys to me. I was always on him to get better, and his mom told me he needed it and ate it up, even if we disagreed.” Family friend Soonia Budhan-Manzano posted on Facebook: “This kid touched my heart when he was playing football with my kids. . . . Today, I’m heartbroken that this young soul is gone too soon.” As of press time, funeral arrangements were pending. Budhan-Manzano and Kelly McMahon were raising money to help Clark’s mother.

SNAP/TANF/FDPIR Households: Households that currently include children who receive the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) but who are not found during the Direct Certification Matching Process (DCMP), or households that currently receive Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), or the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) must complete an application listing the child’s name, a valid SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR case number and the signature of an adult household member. Eligibility for free meal benefits based on participation in SNAP, TANF or FDPIR is extended to all children in the household. When known to the School Food Authority, households will be notified of their children’s eligibility for free meals based on their participation in the SNAP, TANF or the FDPIR programs. No application is necessary if the household was notified by the SFA their children have been directly certified. If the household is not sure if their children have been directly certified, the household should contact the school. Other Source Categorical Eligibility: When known to the School Food Authority, households will be notified of any child’s eligibility for free meals based on the individual child’s designation as Other Source Categorically Eligible, as defined by law. Children are determined Other Source Categorically Eligible if they are Homeless, Migrant, Runaway, A foster child, or Enrolled in Head Start or an eligible pre-kindergarten program. If children or households receive benefits under Assistance Programs or Other Source Categorically Eligible Programs and are not listed on the notice of eligibility and are not notified by the School Food Authority of their free meal benefits, the parent or guardian should contact the school or should submit an income application. Other Households: Households with income the same or below the amounts listed above for family size may be eligible for and are urged to apply for free and/or reduced price meals (or free milk). They may do so by completing the application sent home with the letter to parents. One application for all children in the household should be submitted. Additional copies are available at the principal’s office in each school. Applications may be submitted any time during the school year to the Social Worker at your child’s school OR Michelle Rosenthal, SNS Please contact Michelle Rosenthal at 516-792-4018 with any questions regarding the application process. Households notified of their children’s eligibility must contact the School Food Authority if they choose to decline the free meal benefits. Households may apply for benefits at any time throughout the school year. Children of parents or guardians who become unemployed or experience a financial hardship mid-year may become eligible for free and reduced price meals or free milk at any point during the school year. For up to 30 operating days into the new school year (or until a new eligibility determination is made, whichever comes first) an individual child’s free or reduced price eligibility status from the previous year will continue within the same SFA. When the carryover period ends, unless the household is notified that their children are directly certified or the household submits an application that is approved, the children’s meals must be claimed at the paid rate. Though encouraged to do so, the SFA is not required to send a reminder or a notice of expired eligibility. The information provided on the application will be confidential and will be used for determining eligibility. The names
and eligibility status of participants may also be used for the allocation of funds to federal education programs such as Title I and National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), State health or State education programs, provided the State agency or local education agency administers the programs, and for federal, State or local means-tested nutrition programs with eligibility standards comparable to the NSLP. Eligibility information may also be released to programs authorized under the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) or the Child Nutrition Act (CNA). The release of information to any program or entity not specifically authorized by the NSLA will require a written consent statement from the parent or guardian. The School Food Authority does, however, have the right to verify at any time during the school year the information on the application. If a parent does not give the school this information, the child/children will no longer be able to receive free or reduced price meals (free milk). Foster children are eligible for free meal benefits. A separate application for a foster child is no longer necessary. Foster children may be listed on the application as a member of the family where they reside. Applications must include the foster child’s name and personal use income. Under the provisions of the policy, the designated official will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the designated official, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing for a hearing to appeal the decision. Ms. Marie Donnelly (Assistant Superintendent for Business), whose address is One Johnson Place, Woodmere NY 11598 has been designated as the Hearing Official. Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. However, prior to initiating the hearing procedure, the parent or School Food Authority may request a conference to provide an opportunity for the parent and official to discuss the situation, present information, and obtain an explanation of the data submitted in the application or the decisions rendered. The request for a conference shall not in any way prejudice or diminish the right to a fair hearing. Only complete applications can be approved. This includes complete and accurate information regarding: the SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR case number; the names of all household members; on an income application, the last four digits of the social security number of the person who signs the form or an indication that the adult does not have one, and the amount and source of income received by each household member. In addition, the parent or guardian must sign the application form, certifying the information is true and correct. Beginning July 1, 2019, students in New York State that are approved for reduced price meals will receive breakfast and lunch meals at no charge.

quences has stopped many from doing work that would have been a major improvement in their lives. I’m not sure onte eeper which fear is bigger, though — the fear of the cost or the fear of how to do the work. I often see people’s homes after the big job has been done, and will ask if the work was designed by an architect or an engineer. Lately, several people have told me that they did the work with a contractor during the pandemic, without plans or a permit because they thought the work was interior and didn’t need a permit. Construction work needs a permit. I’ve seen enough of these renovations to know, when I see even the slightest sagging, that the work wasn’t done correctly, and that deficiencies will follow, like small cracks that won’t go away after multiple repairs, consequential movement in tile floors or roof shingles above, leading to potential pipe or roof leaks, in a domino effect. The fact is, it does cost a little more. In a conversation recently, a couple told me that their contractor wanted $30,000 more just for the beams, not the demolition, not the sheetrock, new flooring, insulation or electrical work, which were all going to be done anyway. A relative whose home I was recently involved with did have all the walls removed, and the cost for labor and materials was less than $12,000 for the installation of three 24-foot-long beams while all the work around was being done. Cost may fluctuate with plumbing issues, recent material increases and the contractor’s overhead and profit, but your fear leads to their higher prices. Perception plays a big role in the process, which is why people call a licensed professional, in many cases, only if they have to, being talked out of the perceived expense instead of really knowing what the costs may be. Designing for beam replacement involves examining the complete picture, from roof to foundation, applying laws and formulas that trained professionals know when to apply. For example, the removal of beams across the long expanse of the rooms opens you up to an issue with wind pulses, called wind shear, that can cause serious damage to the structure in high-wind episodes. Wracking and cracking are just the beginning of more serious consequences. Good luck!

Q. We were at a friend’s house recently and admired how they opened all the walls so that their kitchen, dining room and living room are all open to be one big room. We like the open look, so we called a relative who’s a contractor. He looked at our house and said it would be very expensive because we’d need big beams, and it’s a lot of work. We still want to do it, but he made it sound like it’s risky, and scared us Ask The a little. Is it really expenArchitect sive, more than it might be to do larger door openings and just redo our kitchen? What are your thoughts?

ny forward movement in aviation, or in space exploration, is usually greeted by cheers. As should be the case. But often, first come the skeptics who ask whether it was worth it all. Or the doubters who say it never happened. Or even, sadly, those who shrug their shoulders and say, “So what?” When the bicycle-makers Wilbur and Orville Wright successfully flew their singleengine, box-like airplane on a chilly December morning in 1903 jAmES from the mosquitomarshes BERNStEIN infested of Kitty Hawk, N.C. — the first motorized heavierthan-air vehicle ever to leave the earth — only four local newspapers showed up to cover the event. There were even disbelievers that the 12-second flight ever happened. The U.S. government turned the brothers down, with a form letter, saying it had no interest in their invention. An editorial in a Paris newspaper sniffed, “The Wrights have flown or they have not flown. They possess a machine
I
or they do not possess one. They are in fact either fliers or liars. It is difficult to fly . . . It is easy to say, ‘We have flown.’” The press and the public ultimately came to recognize the significance of the Wrights’ first flight. But it took time. So, too, now, there has been considerable scoffing at and bad-mouthing of the recent flights to the edge of space by the billionaires Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson. Social media has been filled with denunciations: Bezos and Branson could have used the multimillions they spent on their ventures feeding half the world’s population. They could have brought global warming under control. They could have cured Covid. All these things are absolutely worthy goals and need to be done. But they will not be done by one man, or two. They will take global efforts by teams of scientists, researchers, scholars and all of us. Bezos and Branson had another goal in mind, one that is also worthy. Their flights were a brief few minutes, and they reached about 60 miles high, the edge of space. But on May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard, the first American in space, flew for only 15 minutes in his Freedom 7 space capsule, and reached an altitude of
B
101 miles before splashing down in the Atlantic. But in what is really a wink of an eye — eight years and two months later — Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the moon, in July 1969. The Apollo moon program certainly got the world cheering, but in the decades since, the view of its technological feats has soured. I have heard many deride it as little more than a propaganda tool, with a number of people looking back on it with a yawn. But the view of our blue and white planet from space alone was worth every penny. We got a perception of just how enormous “out there” is, how tiny we really are, and how we need to preserve this beautiful planet of ours. But technology from the Apollo program also gave us better water-purification systems, breathing masks used by firefighters around the world, solar panels, cordless devices like power tools, a path to developing miniaturized computers, advanced cameras, thermal blankets for keeping the sick warm and yes, moon rocks to gaze upon in museums. It’s easy to call Bezos and Branson thrill-seekers who have little better to do
ezos and Branson are scoffed at, but so were two brothers at Kitty Hawk.
with their time or money. Neither man is perfect. Bezos could certainly improve working conditions at his Amazon plants around the country, and he didn’t help himself when he “thanked” his employees for making his voyage possible. He used company stock to finance his trip, and his employees had no say in the matter. But I also see the two men as dreamers, like the Wright brothers and all of the Apollo astronauts. Each step forward in aviation, or space, gets us a little closer to where our DNA as human beings pushes us to be: out there. The Wrights were the step to commercial airplanes. The airplanes took us to Apollo. Apollo took us to the moon. The moon is now seen as a landing stop on the way to Mars and beyond. This progress cannot be stopped. Since our earliest days on Earth, we have looked skyward and asked, What’s up there? Wilbur Wright put it this way: “The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who, in their grueling travels across trackless lands in prehistoric times, looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space, at full speed, above all obstacles, on the infinite highway of the air.” Let’s keep looking. James Bernstein is the editor of the Long Beach Herald.
Caught in the tangled lines of big fishing
watched the Netflix documentary “Seaspiracy” last week, and I may never eat fish again. The 90-minute exposé on commercial fishing, produced by Ali Tabrizi, a 27-year-old environmentalist and filmmaker, reveals a fishing mega-industry that is poisoning our oceans, overfishing across the globe, unintentionally slaughtering thousands of dolphins and turtles in miles-long fishing nets (known as walls of death) and peddling farmed fish that is contaminated to unsuspecting RANDI consumers. The KREISS documentary presents disturbing video evidence of practices like the mass killing of dolphins and whales in Japan, where some fishermen see the mammals as competition for their industry. Tabrizi interviews fishermen as well as leaders of various organizations devoted to the preservation of sea life and healthy oceans. He draws viewers to the conclusion that there is no such thing as “sustainable” fish catches, and no such thing as “dolphin safe tuna,” despite the labels and the claims of the fishing industry. He
interviews men who say they were kept as slaves on huge fishing vessels, processing shrimp in their holds, with the threat of being thrown overboard if they protested. The documentary shows thousands of miles of fishing lines and nets stuck together in vast seas of garbage floating across the Pacific Ocean. My own history with fishing and eating fish is at odds with the disturbing elements of the exposé. Having lived most of my life on the coast of Long Island, I fished Reynolds Channel, in Atlantic Beach and Long Beach, from the time I was 4. As a kid, I went out with my dad and my Uncle Herbie in a wooden rowboat with an outboard motor, and I always landed the biggest flounder. “Big as a doormat,” my dad would say. And I usually caught it on a simple dropline. Part of the fun was the other stuff we caught and threw back, the blowfish and spider crabs and the occasional eel. The bays were full and rich with wildlife. My dad cleaned the fish at the dock, and we ate what we caught. Who thought about it? Decades later, wanderlust led my own family to summers in Montana. There we learned to fly fish, and we ambled along
H
the big rivers: the Bitterroot, the Gallatin, the Blackfoot, the Yellowstone and the Ruby. Summer after summer we caught and released rainbow and brown trout lurking in the deep, still pools of those pristine rivers. This morning, I read in The New York Times: “Montana’s Famed Trout Under Threat as Drought Intensifies.” Which leads to questions about what is precipitating the devastating heat and drought across the West, and how overfishing, air pollution, industrial waste and food production contribute to the climate change that is affecting life on Earth? I’m worried that my favorite salmon recipes, made with farmraised salmon, may include a few surprise ingredients like arsenic, PCBs, DDT and mercury. When I open a can of tuna, “Seaspiracy” claims, even the “Dolphin Safe” label can be unreliable. The Guardian newspaper challenges some of “Seaspiracy’s” claims, saying that several fishing industry leaders were quoted “out of context.” The newspaper reports that there are viable groups working hard to create “sustainable’ sources of fish. It challenges the “Seaspiracy” claim that our oceans could be completely empty
ow do we eat healthy and still preserve the planet’s natural resources?
by 2048, saying that finding may be dated. I checked out the websites of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, and learned that there are hundreds of endangered fish on their lists, fish dying out because of overfishing or disappearing habitats. Among them is the Atlantic salmon. So, as a salmon eater, my choice is wild-caught Pacific salmon or farm-raised salmon, which seems to have issues not only with contaminants but with the farms themselves, which release huge amounts of waste into the oceans. And if someone claims a farmed fish source to be environmentally conscientious and the fish safe to eat, how to know for sure? Please watch “Seaspiracy” for yourself. Read the rebuttals to the documentary on the BBC and Guardian websites. The questions for all of us are, how do we eat healthy and still preserve the natural resources of our planet? How do we create reliable oversight groups so that we can believe their reports of sustainable fish sources and healthy fishing protocols? Right now, the fishing industry is largely self-reporting, and that raises issues. As citizens of the Earth, our menu choices are fraught. Suddenly, a simple tuna sandwich creates an ethical dilemma.

The time is right for offshore wind
lans to construct a wind farm in the ocean 15 miles south of Jones Beach will undoubtedly be met with opposition. The Long Island Commercial Fishing Association has already weighed in against the project, saying it could disturb vital fishing grounds. There will likely be others to follow during a two-year environmental review. We mustn’t allow not-in-my-backyard protestations to scuttle such a project again, though. In 2007, plans for a 40-turbine wind farm off Jones Beach, 10 years in the making, were killed largely because of NIMBYist opposition by a small but vocal group called Save Jones Beach. Long Island Power Authority officials claimed the project would cost too much, but studies showed it would have raised ratepayers’ monthly bills by a mere $2.50. Polling at the time showed Long Islanders overwhelmingly supported the wind farm, despite the rate increase. That’s because most folks understood then, and understand now, that we desperately need renewable energy sources like wind, solar and geothermal to reduce our reliance on dirty fossil fuels such as coal, oil and even natural gas in order to stave off the worst effects of the climate crisis. Yes, the Earth is heating up beyond the bounds of predictable climactic cycles, and we’re responsible for throwing the world’s mean temperature range out of whack. Power plants, factories, and cars and trucks send more than 40 billion metric tons of heat-trapping carbon dioxide — the chief of driver of climate change —

letters Need to rethink transportation To the Editor: I agree that congestion is often severe on Rockaway Boulevard in the Five Towns (“Legislators suggest a buildout of the Nassau Expressway,” July 22-28). I disagree that building a highway will eliminate this time sink. The traffic phenomenon known as induced demand means that widening roads or constructing new ones simply causes more drivers to use them, resulting in the same congestion. Following the hottest June ever in the United States and with hundreds perishing in floods in Europe and China, we urgently need to rethink transportation modes that are accelerating climate change. Time is running out. KEvIN KELLY Atlantic Beach
into the atmosphere every year. Since the Industrial Revolution began in 1750, humans have released 2,000 billion metric tons, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That is, we have released enough carbon into the atmosphere to substantially alter its composition and set in a motion the climate crisis that we now face. The question is, what will we do to stop it? Will we bravely seek new, clean forms of energy, or will we keep our heads buried in the sands of our pristine beaches until they’re all underwater? Yes, the climate crisis is raising sea levels and increasing the strength of hurricanes and tropical storms, while also causing wrenching drought in parts of the world — including the American Southwest — that have traditionally been rain-deprived. You only need look to the abnormally scorching temperatures we have seen across the West this year — and the out-ofcontrol wildfires that have resulted — to understand the magnitude of the crisis that we face. Climatologists tell us that the climate crisis is no longer a future projection. It is here and now, and we are only starting to feel its terrible effects. We are not powerless, however. Just as human ingenuity got us into this crisis, it can get us out of it. Building offshore wind farms around Long Island — considered the “Saudi Arabia of wind” — would be a step in the right direction. It’s only natural that the Long Island Commercial Fishing Association would worry about the potential effects of wind
farms on traditional fishing grounds. It’s shortsighted, however, to think only in the present. Warmer ocean waters caused by the climate crisis could wipe out twothirds of all fish species around the globe, according to the World Economic Forum. At the same time, fish — and birds — exist in a narrow temperature range to which they have spent millennia adapting. Change the mean annual temperature over long periods of time, and the fish and birds begin migrating north to cooler regions. In the near future, in other words, there may not be a Long Island fishing industry to speak of unless we act now. Over the next two years, we also may hear that wind farms kill birds that fly through them. That’s true. All forms of energy production, though, kill wildlife. Blowing apart mountains to extract coal certainly does. Oil spills in the ocean certainly do. For goodness’ sake, nuclear power plants kill billions of fish and fish larvae annually by sucking them from rivers and oceans through their cooling systems. The National Audubon Society estimates that we could lose two-thirds of all bird species to climate change. That’s why the society supports wind farms, including offshore wind farms, even though we may lose thousands of birds to them. If you’re really worried about birds, though, keep your house cat inside. Outdoor house cats kill some 2.4 billion birds in the U.S. and Canada every year, according to the American Bird Conservancy.

ere’s a quick note to United Airlines. You know that deal you recently announced with Boom Supersonic that has you placing options to purchase 15 Overture aircraft, the still-tobe-built supersonic transport planes? If United, or any of Boom’s aeronautical engineers, have an institutional memory, they’ll recall that the firstgeneration Concorde SST died, in part, because of the ferocious opposition from those in the Five Towns living beneath ronALD J. final approach to F. Kennedy rosenberg John International Airport. That lesson needs to be heard in Tokyo, because Japan Airlines has secured 20 options for Overture, and Virgin Atlantic has announced that it is studying a supersonic airliner of its own. Let’s be clear. If your airliner can’t fly into Kennedy, you aren’t flying anywhere. Regardless of what technology you apply, whether its electric-powered engines or supersonic delta wings, the economics of any airliner depend on landing rights at JFK. The surrounding communities are
seasoned veterans of the jet noise war, and they know how to respond effectively based on their experiences with the deltawinged Concorde SST. In addition to a loud “double bang” sonic wave that assaulted people on the ground whenever the Concorde exceeded the speed of sound, its engines were considerably louder than those powering 747s and DC-10s of that era. Those jumbo jets arrive over the Five Towns far more slowly and far more quietly than the SST. The latest generation of aviation companies proposing to build a 21st-century SST has the advantage of working with research, technology, composite materials and supercomputers that were unavailable to Concorde designers back in the 1960s. Current plans suggest a design that incorporates an unusually long nose meant to contour a shock wave, wings designed to bounce a sonic boom up into the air and engines cloaked, in part, by twin vertical tails. Airlines also have a better appreciation of the economics of supersonic travel in an era of deregulation, when they have a far tougher and more competitive business model than the two European airlines that flew the Concorde across the Atlantic.

Engineers say they fully appreciate that there is a point at which decibel readings for supersonic flight go off the chart and into the realm of community and Congressional opposition. They believe their prototype SST will offer a muted “thump” when it needs to fly over land in excess of Mach 1. While there has been an effort since 2018 to restart American SST research, Congress and the Federal Aviation Administration have yet to set new SST noise standards, which means, for the moment, that the industry is chasing a moving and subjective regulation. As fabrication of SST aircraft moves forward, the industry should consider simultaneously launching a community outreach and educational program focusing on what their SST will and will not do that would begin to engage Long Islanders. They should share their science, for example, with village mayors and civic leaders, particularly those in the Five Towns; host a community open house at Hempstead Town Hall; display their design concepts at the Lawrence High School science fair; host an informational briefing for Nassau County elected officials at the Cradle of Aviation; create a web site that details the thou-
he new model may give off a thump rather than a bang when it exceeds Mach 1.

Get vaccinated if you haven’t been To the Editor: New Yorkers across the state continue to fight Covid-19 by getting vaccinated, but we need to get even more shots in arms to put this virus behind us for good. I urge everyone who hasn’t gotten their shot yet to do so immediately. The vaccine is widely available and taking it is easy, safe and free. As of last week, the percentage of New Yorkers testing positive for the virus was up, at 1.86 percent. The seven-day average was 1.66 percent. New patient hospitalizations, patients in intensive care units, patients in ICUs with intubation and deaths were all up. All state mass-vaccination sites are open to eligible New Yorkers for walk-in vaccination on a first-come, first-served basis. Those who would prefer to schedule an appointment at a state-run site can do so on the Am I Eligible App or by calling (833) NYS-4-VAX. People may also contact their local health department, pharmacy, doctor or hospital to schedule an appointment where vaccines are available, or visit vaccines.gov to find information on appointments near them. The Covid-19 Vaccine Tracker Dashboard is available to update New Yorkers on the distribution of vaccines. The state Department of Health requires vaccinating facilities to report all vaccine administration data within 24 hours, and the data on the dashboard is updated daily to reflect current metrics in the state’s vaccination effort.

sands of hours of wind tunnel testing, computer modeling and concept designs; coordinate efforts with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs JFK; and offer a virtual online tour of the engineering centers where their first SST is being designed. Boom Supersonic and its competitors, such as Lockheed Martin, need to appreciate that it is no longer sufficient to be the most innovative kid in the air. New technology, like new public infrastructure, now comes with a mandatory strategy to engage those who will be most impacted by it. But a neighborhood outreach program will not address the issue facing Cedarhurst, Lawrence, Inwood, and other communities on the South Shore that daily absorb the sights and sounds of intense air traffic. We know Long Island isn’t the center of the commercial aviation universe, but persuading New Yorkers living near JFK that a new and vastly improved SST will not harm their quality of life will be essential to the long-term viability of an SST that few of us will ever fly.
