For the third time in more than two years, Cedarhurst village was the backdrop in the bat tle against antisemitism. On Aug. 23, Jewish elected officials, including Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin, Assemblyman Ari Brown and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, along with others, decried the volume of antisemitism that has occurred recently, including antisemitic flyers that were found in mailboxes and public places in Cedarhurst, Long Beach, Oceanside and Rock ville Centre during the summer months. Blakeman said the county is not lying down against these attacks. “We’re not taking any of this without there being a reaction to the action,” he said. “When we see flyers that are purely antisemitic, our great Nassau County Police Department led by Commissioner (Pat rick) Ryder, we know who they (the suspects) are and we’re watching them. And you know what? They’re not stupid. They don’t cross the line. They come right to the line. They go and they say: we’re protected by freedom of speech. But when they cross that line, trust me. We will arrest them. We’ll lock them up and we’ll prose cuteNotingthem.”the county’s Commission against Antisemitism, Blakeman said along with sup porting law enforcement, another way to combat antisemitism is to educate young people. New York state has taken a step in that direction as Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, recently signed a law mandating schools provide in-depth Holo caust education.

We are back and better than ever could have been the title of the superintendent’s roundtable hosted by the Center for Adult Life Enrichment on the campus of Hewlett High School in Hewlett with Hewlett-Wood School District Superintendent Ralph Marino Jr. on Aug. 25. Sitting at a card table in the front of the big meeting room, Marino answered questions for nearly 45 minutes on an assortment of issues, less than a week before the district began a new school year. With the State Education Department following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance, Marino said that the 2022-2023 school year that started for his district on Aug. 31, will look and feel more like preCovid 2019.“This puts us back to where they were in 2019,” he said. “I’m very, very excited.” Marino noted that the high school hosted a Freshmen Focus day on Aug. 24 and roughly 200 ninth-graders attended, sat with their friends and received an introduc tion to their next level of schooling. There are 975 stu dents enrolled in Hewlett High, he said. For the youngest Hewlett-Woodmere students, it will be the first school year for full day Pre-K at the Franklin Early Childhood Center. Marino said 115 students are enrolled in the district’s new program, which he said, “ties in nicely with the philosophy of the school.” Task force reports on both the 10-period high school day and the district’s proposed Princeton Plan are expected in November, Marino said. Eliminating the 10-period was originally discussed at a November 2021 board meeting as part of other cost-cutting measures, including paring elective courses. “It’s a work in prog ress,” Marino said. The district’s Princeton Plan would move all second and third grade classes to one school and fourth and fifth grades to another. Currently, there are two elementary schools — Hewlett and Ogden — that houses second through fifth grade. The concept is to organize school districts based on grade levels rather than where people live in the community. It is named for the New Jersey suburb that desegregated its schools in 1948, six years before the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision.In2015, the Lawrence School District implemented its version of the Princeton Plan. At the time board officials said it would aid in aligning teaching with state mandates and it is fiscally responsible.
“I like to show the superintendent my support, I like to hear the latest things that I might have missed along the way,” Margolin said in explaining why she attended the roundtable.

The Peninsula Public Library in Law rence said goodbye to summer with its annual Summer Reading Party to cele brate the reading completed by the chil dren who took part in the seasonal pro gram.Library director, Carolynn Matulewicz, said that this past summer's “Oceans of possibilities” theme drew great results. “It was a very good turnout for every thing this year,” she said. It was a great theme, we had a program on the beach, and they had a scavenger hunt with sea shells. “We had all kinds of programs and activities throughout the summer. This is a combination of all their reading and hard work, they get to come and party.”
H-W superintendent discusses district issues
Building a lifelong love of learning and reading

The end-of-the-summer party has been a tradition at PPL for more than 30 years and keeps the kids motivated to read over the summer. The festivities this year included painting, balloon animals, a triv ia contest, chalk drawing, and more. Many of the kids in attendance were at camps all summer and as camps came to a close, it boosted turnout for the party. “Each year it's been getting better,” said children’s librarian Patricia Murphy. Among many of the library regulars are six-year-old, Aaliyah Nunn who has always been an avid reader, her grand mother, Valerie Hinton said. Her favorite summer book this year being, “Dragons eat noodles on Tuesday.” Nunn is homeschooled by Hinton, who has brought Nunn to the library for most of her young life. Hinton said events such as the end-of-summer party are a great way to get young readers active and social. “Children have to have the best of both worlds. I consider myself fortunate to be able to offer myself to her, so she can actu ally have that engagement, socializing, and creativity,” Hinton said. “When you have kids that are not in action that's concern ing, because what that segues to other issues with health and socialization issues. Sometimes you just have to let them go.” Hinton applauded the job the library did with the summer reading program and praised Murphy, Matulewicz, and trainee Henna Ross for the string of events the library hosted through the summer. “They put together a fantastic summer calendar for the library for these children,” Hinton said. “We’ve been com ing here Librarianforever.”Linda Abraham said that the end-of-summer party really ties together the success of summer read ing. “This is what everybody looks for ward to,” Abraham said. “We had a sum mer reading launch party and got a lot of people signing up throughout the summer and we had over 200 signups. Our goal when they're babies is to bring them to programs and to interact with them to build a lifelong love of learning and reading.”
CALE Executive Director Lee Gerardi said that the reasons behind having the superintendent roundtable are twofold. “We all are kept informed,” she said, “and CALE wishes to show appreciation for our valued rela tionship we have with Hewlett-Woodmere High School.”
Jeffrey Bessen/Herald HEwlEtt-wood ScHool diStRict Superintendent Ralph Marino Jr. addressed several important issues during a roundtable discussion at the Center for Adult Life Enrichment on Aug., 25.
A shortage of school bus drivers continues to be an issue, however Marino said that with the two bus com panies the district is contracted with — Guardian and Independent Coach — the district is in better shape. In tandem with that, he noted the district is not facing a shortage of teachers. “There were not a lot vacancies,” he said. “We filled the positions.”

HOW TO REACH US
I s talking to an “empty chair” a wacko thing to do or an effective therapeutic tech nique to help you resolve unfinished business? The “empty chair” technique, pop ularized by Fritz Perls, the founder of Gestalt therapy, helps people move from just talk ing about their con flicts to experienc ing them in the moment. What a differ ence that makes — akin to the difference between talking about sex and experiencing it! Imagine speaking to someone sitting in that empty chair, saying everything you wanted to say without worrying about hurting their feelings, minc ing your words, or regretting any thing. Great release! Yet this tech nique isn’t designed to be simply cathartic. It’s designed to help you resolve relationship issues that still haunt you. So imagine sitting in an empty chair and across from you is your nemesis. Let’s say it’s your mom. After all, it’s always one thing or a mother. Visualize her facial expression, the look in her eyes, her bodily posture. You’re still upset about her unfair treat ment of you. Let it all out! Now move to the empty chair. “Be” your mother. Imagine she takes in what you just said. What’s her response? Do you get raked over the coals again? Or does she finally understand you? Do you receive that long-awaited apology? Or are you now aware that she’ll never get it?
If that’s true, you must work on letting go of all those resentments that still weigh heavily on you. With your psychologist’s active assistance, you move back and forth between the chairs to gain a deeper appreciation of the strug gles plaguing you and learn to let themEmptygo. chair work also helps you if you’re at war with yourself. Yes, a part of your personality you may embrace whereas another part you may spurn. Perhaps, you hate your insecurities. Now, sit in one of the empty chairs. Describe yourself as the smart, savvy person you are. Then move to the empty chair to “act out” the insecure part of you, the part that doesn’t believe you can do it. Lay it on. Yup, it’s embarrassing but it’s part of you. Create a dia logue between these two parts. Lis ten to how smart you are; listen to how stupid you feel. Instead of deriding your insecurity, know that it’s there for a reason. Respect it. Embrace it. It has helped you survive.Continue the dia logue and you’ll begin to appreciate aspects of your personality you now detest. Yes, there’s a reason for your insecurities. As you integrate your warring parts, your smart self will prevent your insecure self from getting the upper hand. Meanwhile, your insecure self will ensure that your smart self doesn’t get in over her head. The empty chair technique may also help you understand the meaning of your dreams. Rather than trying to intellectually inter pret your dream, you act it out like it’s a drama you created — which it is. You’re the director, choreogra pher, stage designer, and all the characters in your dream. An example: you arrive home to find a man threatening you with a knife. You want to run away, but you’re paralyzed with fear. You can’t scream for help. You’re just stand ing there, petrified. What could this dream mean? Sit in the empty chair. “Be” your scared self. Describe what it feels like to be so frightened that you can’t run away or call for help. Then move to the chair opposite you. Now “be” the scary self. Yes, it’s harder to be the character you don’t identify with, but do it any way. Flaunt your might. Be the ter rifying power. With your psycholo gist’s guidance, you move back and forth between the two chairs acting out your struggle until you gain an appreciation of how you frighten yourself. Then you’ll learn how to face your fears, find your voice and flex your Emptymuscles.chairwork is powerful as you learn how to integrate and liberate warring parts. When I’ve witnessed such dramatic break throughs, it not only impresses me, it truly makes my day!

The Lions, who finished 6-4 last season, traditionally field a fierce defense and Ramsey believes the foundation is in place for the unit to thrive again.
assau Community College’s football team will lean on a mix of returning starters and new comers to lead the way this season.
“He looks to be a force to be reckoned with,” Ramsay said.Offensively, Ramsay is looking for the Lions to take things up a notch under the direction of new quarter back Luke Sprague, a transfer from LIU-Post. “He’s a tre mendous pocket passer with an extremely strong arm,” Ramsay said. “We feel he’s someone who can elevate our offense to another level for the next two years.”
Sophomores Jack Winey, Khristan Hernandez, Jordan Campbell and Jaylen Ware are all returning starters, while freshman Devyon Wright could prove the most sig nificantWiney,newcomer.aformer standout at Lindenhurst High School, and Ware lead the linebacker corps. Both are returning starters who go sideline to sideline and excel at tackling, Ramsay said. “Jack was one of our defensive leaders last year and came into camp in outstanding shape,” the coach noted. “Jaylen is similar. He’s a tough, strong kid.” Hernandez is a shutdown cornerback who’ll get the toughest weekly assignment in the secondary, Ramsay said. “He’s not the biggest guy (5-foot-9) but he can go against big receivers and shut them down,” Ramsay said. “He has great all-around skills and is one of our vocal leaders.”Campbell will spearhead the pass rush from the edge and comes off an impressive first season. “I’m excited to see what he can do after last year,” Ramsay said. Wright, from Dix Hills, is one of the defensive X-fac tors. He’s been dynamic in camp and will start at safety.

Sophomore John Beaubrun, a Valley Stream Central High School graduate, leads the receiver corps and is also a key on special teams as a return option. “John had some big catches and a handful of touchdowns last year,” Ramsay said. “He has good speed and hands and runs sharpVersatileroutes.”sophomore tight end Greg King, a 6-foot-4 target, also returns and will provide yardage through the air and blocking. The feature running back is former Sewanhaka High School standout Brian Lowry. “He’s a tough downhill runner with deceptive speed,” Ramsay said. “He’s patient and strong and we’re looking for him to build on lastAnchoringyear.” the offensive front is sophomore center Kwami Frimpong, a talented all-around lineman and a leader in the huddle. “He’s crucial to everything we do on offense,” said Ramsay, who is also counting on returning starting sophomores Shamar Riley (tackle) and Kasper Borawski (guard) to get the job done in the trenches.
HERALDNASSAU—20221,September 10 Blend of talent leads the Nassau Lions
“We have a lot of challenges on the schedule that we’re pumped about,” Ramsay said.
“Last year was a challenge coming off the canceled 2020 Covid season, but I thought we handled it quite well,” Nassau CC head coach Jamel Ramsay said. “It was a tough ending. We were down pretty big at halftime, fought back to take the lead in the last minute but couldn’t hold on. “We’re excited about the opportunity to return to that stage,” he added. “We have strong returning talent and I thought we added some nice pieces to fill voids.”
The Lions were the No. 1-ranked NJCAA Division III program most of last season and are looking to get back to the championship game (Red Grange Bowl in Glen Ellyn, Illinois) after falling just short to DuPage, 34-29, after beating the Chaparrals by two points during the regular season.

BACK TO CLASS: 2022-23 SCHOOL YEAR
Photo: Peer pressure starts when kids are young, so it’s important to talk with your kids about it early.
Stay Involved — And Communicate Keeping the lines of communication open is vital. Your child needs to know that you are will ing to listen, discuss his or her experiences and not judge. Learn to listen to your child; don’t just lecture him and assume he will do only what you’ve told him. Lead by example; it’s hard to persuade a child not to drink while you’re knock ing back a frosty mug of beer. Make sure that your child is involved in activities that inspire a sense of belonging; being a vital member of a team will encourage her to feel good about her self. Make sure you know what television shows and movies your child is seeing, and talk with him about the values and situations portrayed. “I’d position it more as ‘making good choices’ versus ‘peer pressure,’ because big picture, if your kid makes good choices throughout life, he/she is setting himself/herself up for success,” advises Amy Kossoff Smith, founder of The MomTini Lounge. “I’d advocate sitting down before school to talk about your routine/expec tations, and in that context, say that there will be many opportunities to decide what is best for him/her and that you hope he/she will come to you for advice when needed and will make good choices, especially when presented with ideas or opportunities that may not lead to a good out come.”
The first time you hold your child in your arms, you make promises to love, protect and always be there to guide him or her. Then reality intrudes.Unfortunately for us and fortunately for them, things such as school force us to release our little ones for a while and put them in the care of teachers and school administrators, who must oversee several kids at once. Suddenly, our precious bundle faces a must-be-decided-now quandary and finds that mommy or daddy isn’t there to make all the decisions. Sometimes the situation is even scary. Challenges face our chil dren in the form of peer pressure, drugs, sex and bullying.Clinical psychologist and author Dr. John Duffy says: “Parents do need to talk with their kids about bullying, sex and peer pressure. Many parents I’ve worked with over the years will pro vide time for a lecture, often a one-time-only lecture. But they will often fail to provide time for ongoing discussion of these topics, which is what children really need. They need to know that we as parents are available to them as guides should they need help navigating the world of peer pressure.” “I work with teens and tweens. They are at particular risk for peer pressure to participate in sexual activity, drink or smoke pot. Many are bul lied in ways we could not have even imagined a generation ago (texting, social media). They need parents who can help them in real time. The stronger the connection between parent and child the likelier a parent’s word will be heeded and the likelier a parent’s limits will be honored.”When you have that all-important conversa tion, Dr. Fran Walfish recommends: “The most important thing your child or teen needs on his first day of school is to not feel lonely or isolated. Talk with your kid about what it takes to be a good friend. Include what feels comfortable and what doesn’t. Teach your child to follow her instincts.”“Most kids know right from wrong. Teach your kid to listen to his internal voice and follow his intuition, not the crowd. I would wait to dis cuss sex and cyber-bullying and other issues so as not to bombard and overwhelm your child before school starts. Too much talk can raise anxiety when your goal here is preparation and to reduce anxiety.”

Of particular note, she cites Romare Bearden’s “The Family” for his use of tinting and photo engraving. And Henry Moore’s “13 Standing Figures,” which visually relates to a sculpture that resides on Hofstra’s South Campus. Woodcuts, the oldest form of printmaking, appeared in fifth century Chinese art, and in Europe since the 15th century. Early prints — most commonly woodcuts, wood engravings and metal plate engravings — were often produced to provide illustrations for publications and, in the hierarchy of artists, printmakers were considered “lesser than” painters and sculptors.

known artists created new and innovative prints. As techniques have evolved — especially now with digital technology — artists have pushed the boundaries of traditional printmaking. Many contemporary artists view their graphic work as an integral part of their oeuvre and, for some, it is their primary expressive medium.

“It’s helpful to get an understanding of the process to see how it’s made,” Albert says. “How ink sits on a plate and how it’s transferred is different. Also notice the image is reversed, it’s the opposite of what it is on the plate.”

ike everything else in our rapidly changing culture, artistic styles, technique and process continue to evolve. Such is the case with printmaking. Hofstra University Museum of Art’s new exhibit, “Off the Press,” explores the relationship between the artist and the complexities of the printmaking craft. “Our goal with all our exhibits is to make our permanent collection accessible to the public,” says Karen Albert,the museum’s director and curator. “And one of the big strengths of our collection (5,200 pieces in all) is the print collection.”

A print, in the broadest definition, is a work of art composed of ink on paper created through an indirect transfer process. Four major printmaking methods have developed over the centuries: relief, intaglio, and the planographic techniques of lithography and screenprinting.“Printmakers may choose between methods to produce a distinct type of image or line quality,” Albert explains.”Artists will choose the technique based on how they want the final image to look. This exhibition will give viewers insight into how and why such artistic choices are made.”
Visitors can view 30 prints — works dating from the late 16th century to the 21st — by Romare Bearden, Helen Frankenthaler, Henry Moore, Alison Saar and Andy Warhol, among otherss. A woodblock and copper etching plate are also on display.

We all have to stand up together to confront this hate. We are stronger when we do so, together.” In January 2020, Cedarhurst Village Hall hosted a news conference about anti semitism after at least 13 attacks occurred in 2019, underscored by the fatal shooting of three people in a Jersey City kosher supermarket, along with the killing of a Jersey City police officer and the stabbing of five people at rabbi’s house in upstate Monsey. Those incidents happened within 20 days of each other in December 2019. Also harking back to that year, Jeffrey Lax, a professor at Columbia University, spoke on the antisemitic experiences he faces at his workplace as a Jewish man. He recalled a 2019 incident during a facul ty meeting, when Lax said, “Five radical leftists in a group called ‘Progressive Fac ulty Caucus’ surrounded me.” The group claimed Lax was “an orthodox Zionist because he kept kosher.” He recounted, “I was trying to leave — I was trying to get up and move out. One of them held his hand over my head and said: we’re just starting.”
Brown, who also serves as Cedar hurst’s deputy mayor, said his take on the fight against antisemitism took a new turn after meeting Lax. “(He) started this whole conversation for me in a much big ger and deeper way than ever before,” Brown said, adding that voting Republi can, in his opinion, is the better option for Jewish people in the fight against anti semitism.InMay of last year, at least 3,500 people gathered in Andrew J. Parise Cedarhurst Park supporting Israel and Jewish people around the world following another spasm of antisemitic violence, including the assault of Lawrence native Joseph Borgen, who was attacked by five pro-Pal estinian men in Manhattan that same month.Atthe news conference, Jeff Ballabon, senior counsel for government and inter national affairs for the American Center for Law and Justice, noted that until for mer president Donald Trump issued an executive order to combat antisemitism in December 2019, “Jews were not protect ed under the Civil Rights Act, Title VI, because it doesn’t refer to religion,” Balla bon said. He added that the Trump White House worked closely with ACLJ to extend Title VI to “protect Jews on cam pus,” with colleges across the nation hav ing become hostile environment for Jew ish people and discussion of issues sur rounding Israel.
Lax said his workplace has become more hostile. It appears the administra tion only issues statements on antisemitic behavior without taking genuine action.

Nearly a year and a half after St. John’s Episcopal Hospital in Far Rockaway beat back pressure from the state Department of Health to severely cut services at the only hospital on the Rockaway Peninsula, the healthcare facility received more than $740,000 through Queens borough Presi dent Donovan Richards’ office. Hospital officials said that the money will go to 16 new critical bed systems in the intensive care unit of the cardiac care unit, a new state-of-the art C-arm imaging device to be used in the operating. Richards was among a group of local Democratic elected officials who met with then Gov. Andrew Cuomo to address their opposition to the state’s plan. St. John’s is a 257-bed hospital that provides emergency and ambulatory care to more than 130,000 people including the Five Towns. The officials noted that the existing health disparities between Rockaway com munities and others across the city, the geographic isolation of the Rockaway Pen insula and increased residential develop ment creating an uptick in the population remain the reasons that the state’s plan should be shelved.

Making the garage into living space
A. I’ve always won dered why people in your situation aren’t given a more thorough explana tion of all the things need ed for a permit. Code words like “sketch,” “expedite” and “simple,” along with phrases like “all you need is a permit,” or “you just …” are mis leading. Making a much more complicated process seem so simple that peo ple have a false sense of what is needed only adds stress and mistrust to the problem when a licensed individual is trying to get you through this legal procedure. Couple this with the knowledge of codes, structure and pitfalls that a seasoned professional must apply, and you may have a better sense of how you got pulled into a much more involved situation than you were told about and why it costs more than you assumed.
I’m working with a few files right now where the owners didn’t know that the ceiling heights are lower than allowed by state building code, so, in addition to applying for a building permit, we are in a multi-month processes of first applying for a building code variance. This requires much more documentation, time and cost to the owner that the inspector might have noticed and said something about when they saw the spaces in question, but the owner wasn’t made aware of it. The owner was also only told they needed an architect or engineer and a sketch. This creates the false sense that the much more complicated process was simple when it wasn’t, and left the licensed professional to look like the enforcer of the law and “the bad guy,” pos sibly trying to rack up more fees.

For example, there are many regulations for sleeping spaces and bathrooms, such as means of escape, minimum space size, plumbing require ments and use. In most jurisdictions, the extra bed room has been used as a non-permitted rental, so the examiner of the plans, not the inspector you met, may have a policy to first get proof that you are not illegally renting the space. If you have a door to the outside from the room, for example, they will require that it be substituted with a win dow or blocked entirely with wall materials, mean ing that you have some remedial construction to do.
Q. We were told by a building inspector that we need a permit for making our garage into a bedroom and bathroom. He gave us 10 days to “respond.” He told us we just need an architect to file a sketch of the room; he would even help us expedite the permit. We called around and are being told some crazy things and high costs to prepare the sketch. Why are we being told we need all these things, like a survey, a possible Sandy repair permit, an energy report, etc.? The inspector didn’t say we needed any of this. Who’s telling us the truth? We’re so confused.

able, human error or deliberate attack, CDC fights disease and supports commu nities and citizens to do the same. CDC increases the health security of our nation. As the nation’s health protection agency, CDC saves lives and protects peo ple from health threats.” It had 76 years of experience to prepare for what to do if a highly contagious virus started killing Americans. In the 1880s, Congress commissioned the Marine Hospital Service with exam ining passengers on arriv ing ships for signs of infec tious diseases in order to prevent epidemics. To spe cialize in that work, the MHS set up a small lab (on Staten Island), which would grow to be known as the National Institutes of Health. So the NIH has had about 130 years learning how to use medical science and best public health practices to prevent viral illnesses from becoming pandemics that might kill millions.Andyet in the winter of 2020 Ameri cans had the impression that the CDC and the NIH didn’t know what the hell they were doing, even though they condescend ingly acted like know-it-alls. That was a disastrous blow to our respect for those institutions. Worse than that was a suspi cion that their leaders, Drs. Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins, knew more about China’s infectious disease research than they were letting on. It’s hard to tell what’s worse: Thinking our institutions are incompetent, or suspecting they’re hiding the whole truth from us. Less critical than a bungling govern ment and inept disease-control regime, there are other examples of once reliable and now ineffective institutions. Are you getting your mail as regularly and accu rately delivered as you once did? How do you assess the common sense and general intelligence of most college grads you deal with on a daily basis? Do they inspire you with confidence in the future? When you deal with a business in person or by phone do you feel like they know what they’re doing? When you read supposedly fact-based articles in newspapers do you quickly see the bias or advocacy going on? Do you think new fellow employees are less able than the ones they replaced? What other examples of incompetence do you frequently encounter? Institutions have only ever been as com petent as the people in them and who lead them. It’s up to us to demand that our fed eral, state, county, local and school district institutions act competently. It’s up to peo ple who call themselves journalists to dis cover and report the unbiased whole truth, without trading that truth for access to those institutions. It’s up to us to vote.

All over again I wonder at the deep, glorious expanse of white sand stretching down to the surf. This week the sun was brilliant in a blue sky studded with dar ling puffs of white. Oil tankers rode the horizon. The waves were lively, crashing around the rock jetties. I walked along the beach and took notice of everything I could hear: my rubber soles scuffing on the sand, the cawing of the seabirds roost ing around me, a jet leaving a ghost trail overhead.Afewpeople, widely scattered, were enjoying the day. One lone fisherman stood out on the rocks. The scene was soli tary; the heartbeat slowed, the mind qui eted and I felt like my better self as I set new footprints into the sand. At the tip of one jetty someone had placed a large American flag, which was tattered by the wind. If I knew how to write music, I would have composed an anthem from that image. It was a perfect experience. Isn’t this the most we can hope for—to leave our worries behind or at least set them aside for a while- and immerse ourselves in a setting of peace and beauty? It is the time lessness of the beach, the endless rhythms of the tide that remind us how beautiful and big this earth is and how relatively small our concerns are.

HERALDNASSAU—20221,September 26 Herald editorial
ummers are for beaches, barbe cues and outdoor concerts. But for Faye, each and every day of her summers during her college years were spent inside a hot factory, pushing a button many times over. It was tedious, but it came with a pay check. One that, by the time her summer was over, she could fund just about every single cent of the upcoming fall and spring semesters toward her goal of shaping young minds as an elementary school teacher. And here she was, in front of a class of students, sharing her tenacity. Her persistence.Exceptthis was the early 1980s. A time when tuition, fees, room and board cost just under $3,000 for the whole year — a little more than $10,000 in today’s money. But that’s not the same for teachers walking into our classrooms today as fall classes begin — not just across Nassau County, but across the country. That number is now just under $29,000, according to the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, as reported by Forbes last spring. While those numbers haven’t moved too much since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, they’ve certainly climbed significantly over the past 40 years — nearly three times the rate of inflation.Goingto college is supposed to pre pare our best young minds for the future. Instead, it creates significant burdens, with recent graduates carrying debts with them in six figures, many times before they even buy their first car, let alone their first house. Student loans are typically structured to only be present for the first 10 years of a graduate’s career. But a 2013 study by One Wisconsin Institute say that is more like the first 21 years of a career. That means many college graduates are help ing to secure student loans for their kids, while still paying off their own. It’s a “circle of life” that shouldn’t even exist. Yet it does. And whether we are product of colleges from the 1980s or today, it affects each and every one of us. For one, the number of high school seniors choosing college after gradua tion is dropping. Just 15.9 million pur sued undergraduate degrees in 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Edu cation’s Institute of Education Sciences. That’s from a peak of 18.1 million in 2010, and has steadily declined ever since.Yet, more than $1.6 trillion in student loans remain outstanding for 45 million people, according to the White House. That’s an average of $36,000 per student. Such a debt load also makes it harder for new college graduates to get started on their own, independent lives. In fact, more than half of college students sur veyed by Pew Research Center said they were back home living with their par ents in late 2020 — the highest percent age since the Great Depression. Sure, we could blame Covid-19, but those numbers were already past 47 percent and climb ing even before the pandemic. Yet, the federal government’s plan to forgive up to $20,000 in student debt for anyone not among the super-wealthy is wrong — not because it’s wiping away student debt, but because it’s not wiping away enough of it. President Biden’s own numbers paint a horrifying picture for America’s postsecondary education system. The cost of a public four-year university has sky rocketed nearly 200 percent since 1980, but federal aid through Pell Grants has grown just 20 percent. In 1980, Pell Grants could offset 75 per cent of your total college expenses. Now? It’s barely 30 percent. That’s not how a country makes education a priority — and it’s certainly not how a country remains a superpower. This grant forgiveness isn’t a handout. It’s simply our government trying to catch up on the commitment made to each and every young person so many years ago. That means ensuring public funding is there while controlling costs at public universities. And at the very least, make community college free. Even the Founding Fathers felt educa tion was essential in ensuring democra cy, although it would take decades to establish broad-access public schools for children. In 1910, just one out of every 10 people had high school diplomas. Today, it’s above 90 percent. Investing in education makes a differ ence — but so does not investing in edu cation. Except that creates the kind of difference we’d rather not experience. Faye was able to fund her college by not only pressing a button over and over again at a factory all summer long, but because of Washington’s commitment to herBiden’seducation.move on restoring that com mitment is a start, but there’s still a long way to go.

To the OMG!Editor:Iread Randi Kreiss’s column “Florida Gov. DeSantis: teachers need to be educated” (Aug. 11-17), about allowing veterans to teach in Florida classrooms. Like Randi, I am a retired teacher, hav ing completed all the requirements nec essary for teachers in New York state. That anyone, including our veterans, would have the nerve to accept this posi tion and stand up in front of 25 impres sionable children and think he/she can teach without having had the methods courses or the hands-on student teaching experience is simply arrogant. It says that my degrees in education are unnec essary.Dothey know how to write a lesson

These intersections were studied in depth for, among other things, traffic turn ing movements and straight through traf fic. The traffic study was conducted on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2019 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2019 from 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. These dates were chosen to avoid Shabbos and holi days, and capture Sunday when peak travel is expected. With Rosh Hashanah only a week away, people were busi ly preparing for Yom Tov and all the shopping that goes with it. Note also that it was pre-pandemic and the streets were full of cars. Traffic studies are tasked with identifying potential impacts to traffic flow quality measured in terms of intersection travel delay. No one assumes that there is no traffic in Cedar hurst or beyond, and no one assumes that peak travel periods do not cause delays.However, the level of delay was shown not be significant. That is because Pears all is one block long and as traffic fans out from Pearsall it dissipates rapid ly. Traffic can go right or left at Pearsall Avenue, to Washington Avenue or Rocka way Turnpike. From there cars can go right, left or straight at Central Avenue or any number of side streets. The wid ening of Pearsall and the addition of dedicated turn lanes further enhance this affect. The permutations are end less, but the fact remains that drivers will choose other streets over Rockaway Turnpike if it isFurthermore,congested. the traffic study shows that only a small number of cars will enter or leave Pearsall Ave nue at any given time. This will follow the same traffic pattern as other streets. Diluted among the thou sands of trip intervals along Rockaway Turnpike, traffic will be delayed by onlyTheseconds.supplemental traffic study that was conducted on Friday, Dec. 10, 2021 from 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m., was for the limited pur pose of counting cars that entered and left The Regency, a building that is four stories high with 144 apartments directly on Central Avenue. The traffic study showed that The Regency experienced slightly higher than expected weekend peak traffic. That is part of the reason that we cut the development from four stories to three, and from 112 apartments to no more than 98. With regard to the claim that $4 mil lion dollars going to the village would free up the general funds of the village to be used for “pet projects, including sala ries and benefits” is not only untrue, it is offensive and insulting. We struggle to find money for capital projects in the village and we are chal lenged enormously. The street paving projects, which are virtually the only capital projects we do, come from Consol idated Local Streets and Highway Improvement Program funds. They are outside the general fund and are very limited in scope. We can only do small portions of roads every year and have nothing left over for parking lot improvements, LED lighting and enhancements to the park and play ground. There are many other capital projects the village is working on to enhance the lives of our residents as well. No one will use capital funds as a “piggy bank” to offset general expenses or pet projects like salary and benefits. We strive to make the village beautiful and inviting. Every single dollar of the $4 million will be used to upgrade the safety, convenience and enhancement of the village. This op-ed is a response to the Aug. 11 let ter from Y. Rose. Weinstock is the mayor of Cedarhurst vil lage.

raffic studies are detailed and complex. It is utterly disingenu ous to ignore a full 108-page traf fic impact study and pretend the village only looked at a short 18-page supplement. I encourage you to read the traffic study in its entirety. However, to simplify things considerably, the Pearsall Project traffic study was compre hensive and com plete.The traffic was studied at six key intersections – not only local streets, where traffic is very light at that time of the morn ing. The impacted key were:intersections 1. Rockaway Turn pike and Peninsula Boulevard
The high court ‘took no one’s rights away’ To the IlanaEditor:Greenberg’s column in the Aug. 18-24 issue, “Scientists grapple with meaning of life. Why should judges?” was well thought out and insightful. She walked the fine line between sides. She pointed out that the goalposts are always changing with the science, and that judges may not be the best people to make that determination. I agree — but her argument fell flat when she dis cussed the recent Supreme Court deci sion.Greenberg states, “the Supreme Court should not infringe on my per sonal right to make that choice.” My understanding is that the court took no one’s rights away.

It ruled that the “right” to an abor tion is not based in the Constitution, and that any laws about abortion should come from the people, through their state or federal representatives. So the court didn’t take Greenberg’s rights away; it put those rights back into her hands! What is she going to do about it?

Will they create hands-on lessons? Can they do the new math required (or maybe not required in Florida) of ele mentary school children, and will they teach history the way it happened? Oh, I forgot — books have been censored or removed in that state. My guess is that the children in Flori da will be deprived of a decent educa tion, which will render them ignorant and eventually produce the next genera tion of voters DeSantis wants.
