Good Samaritan, Orthodox version, comes to roadside rescue By lISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com
The photograph and Facebook post of a volunteer from Chaverim of the Five Towns and Rockaway — an emergency roadside-assistance nonprofit — who stopped to change a motorist’s flat tire last month went viral, with more than 2,200 likes and nearly 1,000 shares on the social
media platform. On Aug. 25, Mary Kate Tischler was driving home to Seaford on the Southern State Parkway with her daughter Ruby, 7, when she realized her car had a flat tire. Tischler pulled over onto the grass shoulder and searched for a phone number for AAA. Before she could find it, a black Jeep pulled off the highway in front of her.
Kasriel Zakutinsky, a Chaverim volunteer, was at the wheel of the Jeep, traveling for his recruitment job for Five Star Nursing, when he spotted Tischler’s vehicle. Having grown up Orthodox Jewish, Zakutinsky, who lives in Brooklyn, was taught to lend a helping hand. He joined Chaverim — which is Hebrew for friends — when he Continued on page 17

Proposed Inwood project seeks 25-year PILOT lmargaria@liherald.com
Though there was whispers of dissent from some in the Five Towns, only one resident attended the Monday Town of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency public hearing on whether a proposed five-story mixed use project in Inwood should receive the customary 10-year PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) agreement or a 25-year deal. A limited liability company, 25 Wanser LLC, asked for the financial assistance to demolish four buildings and construct a new apartment complex with a retail component at the intersection of Bayview Avenue and Russell Place in Inwood with the hopes of generating increased economic activity in the area. The IDA is considering a 25-year PILOT because of the projects estimated cost – more $150 million. At 50 feet tall, the building would also exceed the allowable building height. Town code allows buildings that are not single-family residences to be no higher than three stories or 45 feet, except a church. Single-family residences can be no more than 2.5 stories with a maximum height of 30 feet. The new complex would contain 313 apartments, 250 market-rate units with the retail component amounting to less than 10 percent of the project and 63 apartments

Frederick Parola, the IDA’s executive director and chief executive officer and Michael Lodato, the executive deputy director, ran the hearing held at the Hempstead Town Hall courtroom on Front Street in Hempstead. The IDA is a nonprof-
it public benefit agency that assists businesses build, expand and relocate to the town. In reviewing the benefits of such a project Parola said: “You are creating economic activity, folks that are coming here are shopping in local stores, so there is sales tax generation, we call the ripple effect.” He added, “The presence of a project such as this has incredible benefits from a
financial state of mind to the area.” The Lawrence Civic Association issued a statement opposing approving the PILOT because it could increase traffic congestion in an already high-volume area, deepening the existing challenges for emergency vehicles and evacuation “We are surrounded by developments along the LIRR including, Far Rockaway (Mott Avenue), Inwood by Redfern Avenue [in] North Lawrence, the [proposed] Pearsall development in Cedarhurst on Rockaway Turnpike, a proposed boys yeshiva high school on Rockaway Turnpike, the Woodmere Club [and] the new Amazon building on Rockaway Turnpike,” Jacqueline Handel, the civic association’s president stated. “We are looking at thousands of apartments and with that cars! Has the Town of Hempstead tested evacuations in our area?” On the Lawrence District 15 Residents Facebook page, Josh Justic urged resident to oppose the proposed project and attend the hearing. “And yet the specter of more over development has reared its ugly head,” he posted. One Lawrence resident attended the meeting IDA officials said.. No decision to approve the 25-year PILOT was made on Sept. 20. Parola said it is unknown at this time when a determination would be reached.
DEC levies fine for chemical misuse at club By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com
Woodmere Club developers Efrem Gerszberg and Robert Weiss were fined $1,000 by the New York State Department of Environmental Conversation for two violations — having an applicator improperly apply an herbicide to the golf course and another for improper recordkeeping. Each fine was $500. Gerszberg and Weiss noted that they received a violation for using less chemicals than the prescribed amount. They said they disagreed with the DEC, but to fight it would have cost much more than the fine. “We appreciate the DEC finding no validity to the frivolous complaints of the harassing neighbors,” Gerszberg said in an emailed statement. “We also received a citation for a minor clerical error related to having the wrong address for the superintendent.” Alejandro De Angulo allegedly improperly applied Ranger Pro herbicide to the Woodmere Club’s golf course in April. Instead of using the chemical at the recommended label direction rate of two to five quarts per acre, the DEC found that Ranger Pro was applied at 16 ounces per acre. Herbicides are used to kill unwanted vegetation such as grass and weeds. In addition, the DEC found that De Angulo did not record dosage rate, method of application, the target organism and the location by address and place of application as required by law. Though the application of the herbicide was less than the suggested use, the DEC pointed out that according to state codes, rules and regulations, “Pesticides are to be used only in accordance with label and labeling direction or as modified or expanded and approved by the department.” “In this case the respondents are alleged to have failed to comply with pesticide label directions by applying less

Dead wildlife was found across the course in April. “I saw different trucks laying down chemicals on one side of the golf course and it wasn’t marked, I was concerned,” Woodsburgh resident Harold Klein said. No animal deaths have been liked to the chemical misuse, the DEC said. He said that a week went by and after a few days of rain noticed that the course’s golf was “scorched” while his home’s grass was quite green. He saw a dead swan, a dead bird and two dead squirrels on the club’s course. He
contacted the South Shore Audubon Society. Both the society and Klein contacted the DEC. Klein then also called State Sen. Todd Kaminsky’s office. “We contacted the DEC and there was nothing from them,” Klein said. “Then finally a few weeks ago, I FOILed for the violation report. To me this is quality of life. This is an amazing area. Wildlife kind of revitalized itself.” Since being purchased by Gerszberg and Weiss in 2017, the club has been a vortex of controversy from the developers initial plan to build 284 single family homes on 114.5 acres of the club’s 118 acres, including multiple lawsuits and a pending $200 million legal action filed by Gerszberg and Weiss challenging the creation of a Coastal Conservation District that the Town of Hempstead and the villages of Lawrence and Woodsburgh approved last year. It would prune the number of houses that could be built from 284 to 83.

5 Towners support IDF’s lone soldiers continued from front page the fundraiser began. “No other country spends anywhere near that.” In comparison, Great Britain spends 3.5 percent, Germany, 2.2 percent, and Hungary, 1.1 percent, Weil said. With Israel’s economy thus burdened, the FIDF fills a hole by providing an array of services, including guidance and support for lone soldiers — flights to visit family and friends in their countries of origin, a 24-hour call center for soldiers and their parents, grants and financial assistance, holiday gift packages and vouchers, Shabbat and holiday meals, social networks and gatherings for soldiers and parents, post-service scholarships for those who are eligible, fun and recreation days, and apartments across Israel. There are also socio-economic challenges, Weil said, because roughly half of the lone soldiers come from families below or hovering at the poverty level in Israel. The FIDF offers an educational program in which a soldier can earn a high school diploma and then fund a university or trade school education. In return, the soldier is obligated to perform 130 hours per year of community service equal to the number of years they attended university. “It’s a feeling of giving back, of helping Israel, and ‘never again’ can only happen if we give back,” Cole said as she ensured that the details of the barbecue were being smoothed out.

with white tablecloths. “It was always in the back of my mind to draft because my brothers drafted.” Her brothers became lone soldiers a few years ago. Both completed their service. She grew up in a family that she described as very Zionist and religious, and they moved to Israel when Celia was in second grade. “We loved it,” she said of living in Ra’anana, in the central district of the country. The experience was hard on the family, however, with her father continuing to work in Manhattan and commuting every 10 days to three weeks from Israel to New York. The family eventually returned to the U.S. “Every year we would do something for the [Israeli] soldiers, like write them letters on the holidays,” recalled Celia, who has served for 20 months so far. “A couple of times, me and my family visited bases in Israel and would bring them snacks. We love the soldiers, we love Israel, but I always
felt like, what are we actually doing? Not doing enough.” That spirit is what IDF Reserve Maj. Gen. Nadav Padan, who recently became the FIDF’s national director, saw in lone soldiers in his 36 years of military service. “It is a very colorful group,” he said, noting that he had hundreds of them under his command over the course of his career. “There are a lot of people with different wills and vision,” said Padan, who is retiring from the military next month. “But for all of them, the service is a greater challenge than any other,” Padan added. “At the beginning, it’s like a summer camp the first few weeks. After a few months it becomes quite hard. They came with a lot of energy — ‘We’ll do that, that, that.’ At the end of the day, they have to do their own laundry, make their own food, find out where to have Shabbat. It’s a different challenge.” Celia, who has her own apartment and is visited by her family and friends, had to overcome language challenges, including learning Israeli slang. That helped her when she began training other lone soldiers, including a few Americans. “That was even more meaningful, because I know exactly what they’re going through,” she said. Her friends who are nearing the end of their college years are proud of her, Celia said. “I just personally feel I’ll get to school, [but] right now was the only time in my life that I can do something like this,” she said. “I also decided to become a commander because personally, for me, the job is so meaningful.” Meaningful enough that Celia, whose required service ends in December, might re-enlist through March. “After the army, I want to study in Israel, stay there, go to university — not sure which one,” she said, adding that studying business or psychology could be her future path.

Students in each grade also painted banners they showed off during the Homecoming Parade. Decorations plastered in the hallway of the high school by the Student Council bought further energy into the environment. Student groups performed during the Homecoming game. Marching band and Color Guard rehearsed hard for the halftime show, along with the cheerleading team who prepared for their routines diligently. Hewlett’s football team played Valley Stream North and are training for the big day Havre as well. The Homecoming game is always a popular spectacle, and the stands were full last Saturday. The day before Homecoming, school spirit was reinvigorated at the Pep Rally. Students from all four grades gathered to cheer on Hewlett High School’s sports teams. Cheers of support were especially strong for the football team as the students wished them luck for the upcoming game. This year’s Homecoming was an event that students and the community enjoyed immensely.

With a minute left in the second quarter, it appeared Hewlett’s homecoming game against Valley Stream North last Saturday was on pace to be a stagnant slugfest until the final whistle. The visitors maintained a miniscule one-point lead and had possession at their own 31-yard line. Momentum shifted with one fateful play. Senior quarterback Brian Farrell threw a tight spiral around 30 yards to senior wide receiver Ethan Ramnarain, who casually shrugged off a defender and ran the distance for a 69-yard touchdown. The Spartans never looked back from there on the way to a 28-6 victory in Nassau Conference III. “That play gave us a ton of momentum,” VSN head coach Mike Paolillo said. “Our mantra the entire year has been to finish. We knew we had to score considering they were getting the ball in the second. We just had to execute from there.” While the touchdown pass set the tempo for the remainder of the game, it was the Spartans’ running attack and defense that solidified their victory. Senior Vaughn Candelario (38 yards on 9 carries) and junior Josh Lopez (66 yards on 8 carries) provided a consistent and potent rushing tandem from start to finish. Farrell also contributed on the ground to go with his 136 passing yards. The Spartans’ defensive unit was nothing less than suffocating, specifically in the second half, where they held the Bulldogs to less than 40 yards of total offense. Senior defensive back Andrew Lusterino assisted in the scoring by returning a fumble 21 yards for a touchdown, and senior defensive lineman Angelo Morales notched an impressive 14 tackles. The Spartans will look to improve upon their 1-1 record when they play perennial power Plainedge at home this Saturday. Kickoff is 2 p.m. For the Bulldogs, health and maintaining continuity were major catalysts in dictating their defeat. Whether it was simply random or a byproduct of the scorching 90-degree weather, a number of starters were injured during the course of the game. “We were dealing with some minor

The guys who stepped in played hard but we have a lot of work to do.” Self-inflicted penalties and mishaps hindered any chance of a second-half comeback for the Bulldogs. The tides seemed to be shifting back in their favor when senior captain Mark Winkler registered a magnificent interception in the

end zone late in the third quarter, yet the costly fumble happened two plays after. The reliable running game the Bulldogs established in the first half abandoned them in the second half. Their biggest second-half play, an elusive 60-yard touchdown dash by sophomore Mekhi Jean-Baptiste (47 yards), was mitigated by a holding call. The Bulldogs (1-1) face a difficult task on Friday night at 7 when they hit the road to face Wantagh.

NASSAU HERALD — September 23, 2021
By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com
The new Hewlett-Woodmere Little League three-team softball program got under way earlier in the month, with the Rockies playing their first game against the Cardinals a 20-13 loss on Sept. 13 at Grant Park in Hewlett, after a decade without the sport being part of the 64-year-old league. The Cards played the Brewers the day before to a 15-15 tie. Rockies coach Mike Savin led the recruitment for the girls’ softball league because his daughter, Coralia,9, was playing on the boys’ team. “There was no girls softball. I have another daughter younger than her, so I’m going to be invested in this league for the next 10 years,” Savin said. After making plans to build a league for the sake of his daughters, Savin recruited parents of Little League girls mostly through Facebook’s local district groups and the Herald ran a story on the new program in June. By recruiting 36 girls to form 3 teams of 12, a softball league was established and registered. Coralia Savin played on the boys’ baseball team for two years, however, being one of the only girls on the team did not discourage her from the sport. She hopes to make some new friends this season on her softball team. Coralia listed the advantages of being on a sports team: “You’re going to be stronger and you’re going to be way more healthy,” she said. Brewers coach, Nicole Eliopoulos, noted that the girls like that the teams are representative of their gender. “Most seemed to love being out there,” she said. “Some, I think, are not sure if they like it yet, but the main thing they kept saying is they love that it’s finally all girls!” Eliopoulos’ daughter Zoe was one of the few girls who

The Rockies held three practices before the first, Savin said. The other teams also had multiple and joint practices as well. Whether a win or a loss, the girls just wanted what Cyndi Lauper sang about. “I just want to have fun,” Brie Pearl, 7, said before the game. Parents stood in the crowd together, many of them watching their daughters first softball game ever. The cheers, yelling, and clapping of supportive parents added

to the excitement of the sporty atmosphere, and they only got louder as the game progressed. “I also love that the parents have such enthusiasm,” Eliopoulos said. “No one is complaining about the score, but just happy the girls have a team to play and learn on.” During the game in the dugout, the girls on the bench were anxious and excited, hoping for the best possible outcome from their first game. “I think that they love this,” said Etereya Savin, Coralia’s mother. “You can see the excitement. You can see she is part of a team.” For more information about the Hewlett-Woodmere Little League, go to https://hwlllittleleague.com.

Chaverim’s roadway assistance goes viral continued from front page attended the high school Yeshiva of Far Rockaway, and has been volunteering for nearly 10 years. When he saw Tischler, he immediately thought of his mother or his wife in the same situation, and there was only one choice for him. “To me, it’s second nature,” he said. “I don’t think twice before helping somebody.” Shocked by Zakutinsky’s kindness — and the number of tools in his trunk — Tischler agreed to let him fix her flat. She wanted to express her gratitude, but initially she didn’t know how. “I was thinking, I should give him some money,” she recounted, “but it didn’t feel right to give him money because he clearly wasn’t looking for money, and was doing it out of kindness.” When a driver in distress calls the Chaverim helpline — (718) 337-1800 — a volunteer dispatcher sends out a text message, which is received by roughly 100 other volunteers, and the most conveniently available one responds, Zakutinsky explained. In urgent cases, such as when a child is locked in a car, more volunteers will respond. New members are trained at the site of emergencies by experienced volunteers. Established in the Five Towns in 2003, Chaverim has expanded its areas of coverage, and now answers more than 3,500 calls a year. The response time for 90 percent of the calls is five minutes or less, according to the organization’s website, which is usually much faster than any other form of roadside assistance. Help from its volunteers is available 24/6, excluding the Sabbath, from sunset on Friday to sundown on Saturday. “Members of Chaverim 5T/R start their day as early as the first neighborhood risers in the morning,” the website states, “and end as late as the last person getting home.” Besides offering emergency services, the organization, which is recognized by
both the New York state and Nassau County police, hosts defensive driving classes and car seat safety events throughout the year. Besides the Five Towns and Far Rockaway, there are many other Chaverim divisions and chapters, which are organized by geographic area. Because Zakutinsky made such an impact on her, Tischler shared her gratitude on Facebook, posting her story with a photo of him as he changed the tire, outfitted not in a mechanic’s overalls but in a collared shirt and yarmulke. The post attracted attention almost immediately, making its way across the internet, and was shared widely among the Orthodox Jewish community. “It’s been really heartwarming, because so many people have reached out to me to say what an impact the post has made,” Tischler said. Zakutinsky and Tischler were able to reconnect and communicate through LinkedIn, where he told her more about Chaverim and other Orthodox Jewish volunteer groups, including the ambulance corps Hatzalah and the citizen watch group Shomrim. Tischler followed up with another Facebook post, linking to a donation site for the Chaverim on GoFundMe. “People need to be reminded of how important it is to look out for one another,” she said, “no matter your religion, race — it doesn’t matter.” Zakutinsky said he was glad the post had such an extensive reach on behalf of his community. “I feel like it’s important for everyone to know that we [Orthodox Jews] are just like every other race, color and religion,” he said. “We are friendly, nice, respectful people and we often can easily get a bad rep.” As a nonprofit, Chaverim of the Five Towns and Rockaway relies on donations, financial support from corporate sponsors and other local organizations.

Covid forces forfeit
19
The Lawrence High School Golden Tornadoes varsity football team was forced to forfeit its Sept. 18 road game vs. Friends Academy because the team, except for vaccinated members, had to quarantine due to a positive Covid-19 case, Superintendent Dr. Ann Pedersen said. The quarantine for the players that were in close contact with the person who tested positive ends on Sept. 22, and the next game, which is a home contest
against Seaford on Sept. 25, would not be impacted, she said. On Sept. 15, the school district reported that it was aware of two Covid cases, one student and one staff member, at the high school. Because of privacy laws it is unclear if those cases are related to the football team. Covid cases are reported to the Nassau County Department of Health and on the district’s website, lawrence.org. Since Sept. 20, all Lawrence employees must show evidence of a vaccination or a negative PCR test on a weekly basis, Pedersen said.

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

The lowdown on insulation

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

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

We will not allow the pandemic to interfere with one of a newspaper’s solemn responsibilities — offering our take on which candidates we believe are best prepared to represent the people. In the coming weeks, we will be conducting endorsement interviews for county, town and city elections. We will base our decisions on extensive research, including those interviews with representatives of our Editorial Board. The process of interviewing candidates takes a month. At times an endorsement call is an easy one, while at others we agonize over the decision. We take the process very seriously, considering each candidate’s personal and professional background, commitment to doing good for people and positions on key issues when deciding on our endorsements. Political experience is a plus, but not a requirement to earn our support. Endorsement decisions are made by a minimum of three Editorial Board representatives, and often considerably more than that. A decision does not require unanimous consent, but rather a simple majority. When there is a dissenting opinion, we often note it in our endorsement. In the past, we have endorsed both Democrats and Republicans. Our enthusiasm for a candidate is based not on our individual political views, but rather on what we collectively believe to be his or her potential to effect positive change while in office. Our endorsements will appear in our Oct. 28-Nov. 3 issue.
Early-voting hours Early voting will take place at 17 locations across Nassau County this year. The following are within the Heralds’ coverage area: Elmont Public Library, Freeport Recreation Center, Glen Cove City Hall, Hempstead Recreation Center at Kennedy Park, Lawrence Country Club, Long Beach City Hall, Rockville Centre Recreation Center, Valley Stream Presbyterian Church, St. Frances De Chantal Church in Wantagh, West Hempstead Public Library. Early voting will take place on the following dates and times: ■ Saturday, Oct. 23, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
In the meantime, you will find our coverage of the races in the main section of the paper over the coming weeks. We might cover a news conference convened by a candidate on a salient issue or issues. We will publish Q&A’s with candidates, asking them to opine on subjects relevant to our readers. In a Q&A, candidates are asked to respond to each question in a maximum of 250 words. When they exceed that limit, we cut the response from the end down. For the second straight year, New York will allow early voting, which will begin Oct. 23 and continue through Oct. 31. Voters can cast ballots at selected sites across Nassau County during that period. For a complete list of early polling places and their hours, go to the Nassau County Board of Elections website. If you need to file an application for an absentee ballot, you can call the Board of Elections, at (516) 571-8683, and ask for one; fax a request to (516) 571-2058; or mail
letters ‘Common-sense’ gun bill needed To the Editor: Back to school brings a lot of excitement, but it can also bring anxiety. Our children’s safety is impacted not only by Covid-19, but also by our other national epidemic — gun violence. While New York state has some of the best gun violence prevention laws in the country, keeping families safe takes commitment on the local level as well. As an advocate for gun violence prevention, I have long supported public education about safe gun storage. One way to prevent unintentional child shootings is to make sure firearms are stored securely in the home using a safe or a gun lock, and making sure the weapon is unloaded, with ammunition stored separately. When sending your child to a play date at a friend’s house, always ask about the presence of a gun and how it is stored, the same way you would ask about food allergies or other child

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

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

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

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