Four-time state champions Hewlett students dominate in N.Y. History Fair By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Most sports fans are familiar with dynasties like football’s New England Patriots, baseball’s Yankees and basketball’s Boston Celtics. Somewhat lesser known is the New York State History Fair’s Hewlett High School. Yes. Meet HHS sophomores Michael Heyman and Sydney Honig, who, as middle and high

school students, won the competition in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. In addition, Michael’s and Sydney’s older siblings, Madeline Heyman and Madison Honig, Hewlett High seniors, have been a part of the family dynasty as well, with all four collaborating this year on a senior group performance, “You Can Disagree Without Being Disagreeable: The Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Story.” The project captured first place in senior group performance and was selected to be highlighted by the National Women’s History Museum. Michael’s and Sydney’s state wins qualified them for the National History Day competition each of the past four years. New York’s contests are typically held in upstate Cooperstown, the Continued on page 14

$3 million storm recovery project 99% complete

NASSAU HERALD — September 30, 2021

By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

Nearly eight years after Hurricane Sandy washed through the Five Towns, more than $3 million from the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery and a $450,000 grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency were poured into repairing Hewlett Harbor’s stormwater infrastructure to stem flooding. The village began looking into flood mitigation five years before Sandy, as then Trustee Len Oppenheimer began his tenure. He found that past news reporting traced flooding back to the 1940s, a time when infrastructure differed from contemporary specification and drainpipes were then built at eight to 12 inches in diameter. Flooding increased because of residential development — larger houses, bigger driveways, pools, patios and decks. There are fewer natural grounds to soak up rainwater, so more stormwater collects in the streets and into storm drains that cannot handle the increased volume of water. Problems multiplied during the subsequent investigation: “Each step went from cleaning the drains, to realizing they were broken in spots, to realizing they were too small in other spots,” Oppenheimer said. For more than six years, Hewlett Harbor’s board of trustees worked with Nassau County, the Town of Hempstead, and several private engineering firms, to tailor a cost-effective plan designed to reduce flooding and storm related damage in their community, which is bordered by tidal water and prone to flooding during storms, high tide, and costal surges. The proposed work and its associated costs would have placed too much of a burden on the village taxpayer, Oppenheimer said, so he began applying for grant. In 2012, Hewlett Harbor received $450,000 from the EPA. Plans were made to fix flooding in some areas, then Sandy hit later that year. Then the project grew in scope. Hewlett Harbor worked with village residents to submit a program for funding consideration in both instances, proposing an extensive repair plan to the state.

GOSR introduced the NY Rising Program, making federal and state funding available to municipalities such as Hewlett Harbor to repair outdated infrastructure. In 2015, the village was awarded a $3,011,690 grant by GOSR and already had what Oppenheimer called a “shovel-ready” plan. After several years, plans were finally approved and construction started in 2020. The undersized stormwater pipes were replaced with new pipes, ranging from 36 to 48 inches wide. New flow control valves, discharge pipes, and other infrastructure was also replaced on Auerbach Avenue, Albon and Pepperidge roads, Azure and Everit places, Heather Lane, along with other streets. “I think it is working just as it has been designed,” Village Clerk Michael Ryder said, “with smaller rains I see no pooling of water. The heavy rains that we last had caused flooding in the streets but as soon as the tide went out, the water disappeared.”

Utilities, including electric, gas and water lines were upgraded when the roads were dug up, which saved much time and money. Ryder estimated the village could be under the $3,011,690 budget by nearly $125,000. “We made the best use of the dollars,” Oppenheimer said. “Hewlett Harbor residents have been completely upgraded to the latest, greatest infrastructure at no additional cost to them because we were able, as a board and as a local government, to align all of these projects together.” In a letter of appreciation village resident Tara Grunstein, also speaking for her husband, Steven, stated: “To say we are happy would be an understatement,” she wrote. The GOSR project deadline is February, 2022 and its 99 percent complete, officials said. Oppenheimer assured the project’s completion with Stevie Wonder lyrics. “This is done,” Oppenheimer said, “it is signed, sealed, and delivered.”

New signage for Atlantic Beach Bridge toll area By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

The Nassau County Bridge Authority plans to repair and replace signage at the Atlantic Beach Bridge to clarify toll instructions for motorists as several of the signs were found to be more confusing than helpful. Atlantic Beach Mayor George Pappas met with the Nassau County Bridge Authority on Sept. 20 to express resident concerns about the unclear signage. Pappas noted necessary changes such as adding more prominent signs further from the tolls to instruct motorists on the $2 fee for most vehicles and that the bridge does not use the E-ZPass system. “I ask for better signage, I think that would be very helpful,” he said. The NCBA has started planning the signage repair and replacement. Set dates for meetings and project completion dates are unknown as of press time as the bridge authority is waiting for its maintenance supervisor, Michael Merola, to recover from Covid. NCBA Executive Director, Vincent Grasso, anticipates these dates will be announced

The NASSAu CouNTy Bridge Authority plans on installing new signage to improve motorist awareness of the tolls for the Atlantic Beach Bridge. in early October. “We are about to begin a process of community input for how the new toll plaza will look,” he said. “We expect for it to be organized and to begin having meetings before the end of the year.” By the end of this process, there are expected to be three new signs for the three

payment options: Cash, decals/passes, and cards. There will also be a bigger sign stating that E-ZPass is not accepted on the bridge. This might help residents such as Meryl Benaim, who, on some days, crosses the bridge nearly six times, and has been frustrated by the unclear signage. “The con-

fusion and chaos – especially during the summer months with the added out-of-town beach traffic-- is absolutely a nightmare for all!” Benaim said. Beginnings Restaurant of Atlantic Beach is not far from the toll plaza, and they have used the bridge traffic as a positive marketing tactic: “AB bridge is up. Come to Beginnings,” read the @begginingsrestauraunt July Instagram post, “You know what builds bridges? Hanging out with random strangers at a bar while you wait for traffic to clear.” Co-owner and former East Atlantic Beach resident Heather Freiser suggests, “putting signage further up on the Rockaway so people can prepare before the bridge,” to ease up some of the toll traffic. At the bridge, standard vehicles cross for $2 cash. Yearly decals, also called passes, for unlimited passage can be purchased and registered in Nassau County for $130. Cards are $15 prepaid and last 20 trips. The toll is charged in both directions on the Atlantic Beach Bridge. Have an opinion on signage on the Atlantic Beach Bridge?

obituary

Nicholas Fabrizio was a quiet philanthropist continued from front page Rizzo said, recalling a 30-minute conversation he had with Fabrizio on May 3, 1989. “I was going down the wrong path,” Rizzo added. “He took the roadblocks [I saw] and what he told me they got smaller and smaller. He was an allaround good guy. I’ll miss him.” After graduating from high school, Fabrizio went into the Army and served in Asia during the Korean War. When he came home, he married his childhood sweetheart, Charlotte Pearsall. Married for nearly seven decades, the couple had four children, 10 grandchildren and three great-children. Founded in 1941 by Levett, the Independent Coach Corporation began with one bus that Levett drove and maintained. The company grew after World War II, along with Long Island’s population. Fabrizio worked along side Levett and learned the school bus industry from the bottom to the top. Fabrizio became general manager of the company in 1973. “He is a legend in the school bus industry, honored by organizations as school bus owner of the year,” said Michael Sperber, the company’s claims and risks manager, who has worked for Independent for 33 years. “In this business, if you looked up the word school bus, Fabrizio is the definition.” Sperber also noted Fabrizio’s many “extraordinary acts of kindness.” “He always talked about giving back,” Sperber said. “He came up from the trenches and never forgot from where he came from. He was dedicated to his family first, and dedicated to community.” Whether it was an individual or an

back 40 years, and he’s been a huge donor, very quietly, an unbelievable asset to the community,” said Syd Mandelbaum, founder and chief executive officer of the Cedarhurst-based Rock

and Wrap It Up!, a nonprofit organization that fights poverty. Mandelbaum said that for the past 15 years, Rock and Wrap It Up!, has received donations from the New York Giants and the Yankees, and Fabrizio would donate a bus and a driver, usually Sperber, to pick up the items, and no one knew it. “Nick never wanted the credit, and he taught his children and grandchildren to give back,” Mandelbaum said. In 1999, Fabrizio and his family bought Independent Coach from Levett’s estate. The company has two bus yards, the original one in Inwood and a yard in Hewlett, purchased in the 1970s. “His smile was infectious,” Quaas said, adding that it was what she would remember most about her father. “His most important thing in his life was his family. He had tons of friends and a large extended family. All we have is because of him.” Fabrizio is survived by his wife, Charlotte; his children, Charlene (Jimmy) Killman, Quaas, Michael (Helen) Fabrizio and Lori (Marino) Cimato; grandchildren Jamie (Steve) Scholl, Chris (Eileen) Killman, Rikki (Ron) Krieg, Ryan (Katie) Killman, Nick Quaas, Mike (Juliana) Fabrizio, Kevin Fabrizio, Luca Cimato, Nick Cimato and Ava Cimato; and great-grandchildren Christopher, Jaxson and Skylar Killman. He was predeceased by brothers Johnny and Anthony, and sisters Carmella, Jesse and Antoinette. There was a viewing at Perry’s Funeral Home in Lynbrook on Sept. 24. The funeral Mass at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church took place the following day. Fabrizio was interred at Trinity-St. John’s Church in Hewlett.

Donations in Nicholas Fabrizio’s memory The family has asked that donations in Nicholas Fabrizio’s name be made to Rock and Wrap It Up!, at www.rockandwrapitup.org; St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, at www.stjude.org/donate/pm.html; and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, at https://t2t.org.

computers. These upgrades make it easier for students of all grades to have a space to be together, which is much needed after being six feet apart for so long. With a new start also comes a new sports season! Sports teams are making a comeback this year after being canceled last year to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Now, with HAFTR’s sports teams being fully vaccinated, as well as their opponents, inter-school games are back. HAFTR kicked off the school year with tryouts for girls and boys junior varsity and varsity basketball, girls JV and varsity volleyball, girls and boys JV eidel and varsity hockey, girls varsity softball, and boys JV and varsity flag football. Students are eager to start off this year’s sports season after last year’s hiatus, and will undoubtedly play hard and be successful. Go Hawks! It is significant that the first month of school also coincides with the Jewish New Year, a time when students enjoy learning about the holidays and spiritually uplifting messages from their teachers. Many lessons of the new year encourage us to be introspective and approach the year ahead with ambition and drive. Rabbi Arie Chait, an inspiring teacher, taught me the importance of small acts, and how even seemingly insignificant attempts at self-growth can lead to incredible things. While removing barriers in the classrooms, updating the library and lounge, and resuming sports may be small steps toward normalcy, they will no doubt pave the way for a year of continued fulfillment and achievement. HAFTR is looking forward to a safe and successful school year, filled with learning, growth and fun. I’m excited to be the HAFTR Highlights writer, and look forward to updating everyone on all the amazing things to come.

Following a fun-filled summer, HAFTR High School has returned for another successful school year. After last school year’s daunting transition back to the building from the previous months on Zoom, HAFTR is ecstatic to be able to open our doors again for a new, safe school year. Last year, many students missed out on in-person learning because they either opted to stay home temporarily for precautionary measures, had an exposure and were quarantined, or were permanent remote learners. This proved to be challenging, with classes being a mix of students in the room as well as those Zooming yra in from home. Nonetheless, teachers and students made the best of the situation and developed an effective, positive learning environment. Thanks to the vaccine, this year has begun with lightened Covid-19 restrictions. All HAFTR students have returned to full in-person learning, which we are so happy and grateful to experience. Thanks to all faculty and a majority of students being vaccinated, there are no longer barriers between the rows of desks in classrooms, and there are shorter distances required for socializing and learning, which is a refreshing return to normal. Even though students and faculty remain masked in order to ensure the safety of everyone in the building, the looser restrictions create an open, engaging environment that we all missed throughout this pandemic. To help in the transition, there are incredible updates to the building. HAFTR added a new student lounge where students can congregate during free periods and breaks. The lounge has comfortable, modern furniture and is a great space to spend time on campus. In addition, the library has been transformed into a new computer center, where students can comfortably do their work with brand new

Bridging the Holocaust understanding gap By Roksana amid newsroom@liherald.com

New York has the highest Jewish population outside of Israel. With that in mind, many young New Yorkers are misinformed about the Holocaust at the same time that the state is seeing a rise in anti-Semitic attacks. A recent, first-of-its-kind survey, conducted by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Ger many, found high levels of inadequate Holocaust education among young people in all 50 states. In New York, 58 percent of Millennials and Gen Zers — those born between 1981 and 1996 and 1997 and 2010, respectively — could not name a single World War II concentration camp, death camp or ghetto, according to the survey. Sixty percent of New York young people also did not know that 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust, and 57 percent reported seeing Holocaust denial or distortion on social media and elsewhere online. Dr. Stacie Locascio, a certified BrainCore Neurofeedback provider and mother of two from Glen Cove, said, “It’s absolutely shocking, and that just shows you how much anti-Semitism there is out there. I think [young people] are probably getting it from social media, which they probably believe more than they believe their teachers.” Social media has become a politically charged platform to spread misinformation, and the extent of that misinformation is cause for concern to Holo-

I remember when I was in high school — you know, a hundred years ago — that you could take a Holocaust elective for a whole semester, and I think education has changed,” Bolender said. Elected leaders like State Sen. Todd

Kaminsky, a Democrat from Long Beach, are working to ensure New York schools provide adequate Holocaust education. Kaminsky said he believes there are schools on Long Island that are doing a good job of educating students about the horrors of the Holocaust, but he stressed the need for schools to undergo audits to see how students are being educated, and whether school curricula need to be amended. “It’s not just enough to mandate it in the law that Holocaust education should be taught. We actually have to make sure it’s being taught, and it’s clearly not, or not well,” Kaminsky said in an interview with The Long Island Advocate. “And so, something has to be done, and we need to know where the problems are and direct our resources there.” A bill proposed by Kaminsky to authorize the state education commissioner to undertake a study of which school districts are teaching about the Holocaust and which are not is currently under review in committee in the State Legislature. Kaminsky is now running for Nassau County district attorney. Bolender said that without in-depth education about the past behaviors that led to the Holocaust, history could repeat itself. Bolender said young people must understand the context behind the history. “That’s what we do here at the Holocaust [Memorial and Tolerance Center]. We identify the period of hate, which

behaviors will lead up to a genocide, but also examine the roots of anti-Semitism. A lot of people think it started with World War II,” she said. In 2019, anti-Semitic hate crimes rose by 14 percent across the United States, according to the FBI. New York was among the states where they were on the rise. On Long Island, swastikas have been etched into sidewalks in Oceanside, Ku Klux Klan stickers placed on poles in Bay Shore and swastikas spraypainted at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center. Bolender shared that most youths who have vandalized the Holocaust museum have not been Glen Cove locals. As a consequence, most must perform community service and take part in Holocaust education, including the meaning of Nazi symbols. “We have to spend a little more time developing their emotional intelligence, not just their mathematical and science intelligence,” Bolender said of today’s students. “Emotional intelligence will get you much further in life and make you a better human being. Isn’t that what we all want for our kids, for someone to say they were a good person Locascio said parents play a key role in their children’s emotional development, especially regarding current events in the Middle East. “I think their parents just need to pay a little bit more attention to what their kids are doing, thinking and who they’re hanging out with,” she said.

She caught a 4-yard scoring toss from quarterback Peter Mayo to put the finishing touch on Mepham’s 49-21 victory over Roslyn. She had two other receptions in the game and totaled 45 yards. LaSpina, also a key member of the school’s Long Island champion softball team, began playing football as a seventh grader at Grand Ave.

Hewlett showed marked improvement the second time around its condensed girls’ soccer schedule in the spring, earning considerably better results against Glen Cove (5-1 loss; 2-0 win), Great Neck South (3-0 loss; 2-2 draw) and Long Beach (6-0 loss; 1-0 loss.) However, with so few returnees and a quick turnaround, longtime coach Gil Kreiss said he wasn’t sure what to expect this fall. Through five matches, the Bulldogs are 2-3 and proving fun to watch. “We’re working hard and not playing boring games,” Kreiss said. “We graduated a crew of strong contributors, so I really didn’t know how we’d stack up. But, we had a few girls return after missing last season and we’re competing well.” Kreiss and assistant coach Vincent Tetro are working their 20th season together and will look to guide Hewlett to a playoff spot with a roster consisting of five seniors, three juniors, six sophomores and a pair of freshmen. “I don’t think there are too many coaching staff ’s together for 20 years,” Kreiss said. “Vinny is a high energy person and has an incredibly positive attitude. He’s the head coach of a highly successful lacrosse program at Lynbrook and we always seem to be on the same page.” Each of the Bulldogs’ first five games against Conference A4 rivals featured at least four goals combined, including a 3-2 home victory over Great Neck South on Sept. 17. Sophomore Marcie Iannico scored twice, senior Joia Herzberg once, and senior goalkeeper Yannit Rosenthal made six saves. Iannico and Herzberg are the starting forwards. The latter is back after not playing last season and creating plenty of problems for opponents in the box, while Iannico moved from midfield. “Joia is an aggressive player with a nose for the ball,” Kreiss said. “Marcie is a quality scorer. She brings lots of tenacity and has excellent foot skills and speed. She has an extremely hard shot and is unselfish.” In Hewlett’s first victory of the season, 5-0 at Valley Stream North, Iannico had a hat trick and Herzberg also scored along with senior Lizzy Zemlyansky. A fifth-year member of the varsity, Zemlyansky, a mid-

Lamour, who missed last season, scored twice on direct kicks in a 4-2 defeat at Carey on Sept. 21. Senior Emma Zalcman also contributes in the

midfield as well as in the back. The defense is spearheaded by sophomore Catherine Iannico, a high-level club player who relies on a combination of speed and skill to shut down the competition. Senior Michelle Mayvaldova also starts in the center of the defense and is playing well and with confidence, Kreiss said. Juniors Jordan Ziarno and Hailey Kshonz are hard-working fullbacks seeing a ton of minutes as first-year starters.

From Far Rockaway to Inwood hoop dreams come true By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Far Rockaway, New York is 775 miles from Louisville, Kentucky, however on Sept. 23 in Inwood Park basketball icon Nancy Lieberman made the two places as close as Nassau County and Queens. “I fell in love with a guy who was the heavyweight champion of the world when I was 10 years old,” Lieberman said as she stood at the lectern that was placed at center court of one the five places that her Nancy Lieberman Charities has placed or will place a “Dream Court” a total donation package of $325,000 from the Dream Court™ prog ram. “His name was Muhammad Ali,” she added. “I listened to everything this man said. He was my eyes, he was my vision, really, he was my path.” Growing up poor in Far Rockaway, Lieberman said she hid her insecurities by playing basketball. Neighbor, Mark Munchnick, served as a mentor. “When I was growing up and just starting to play ball it was Mark and his brother, but Mark was older, he would drive us to parks all around,” Lieberman said. “He was one of the first people who introduced me to Inwood Park, and to come out here and play and to compete, and get the crap knocked out of me on occasion, but it toughened me up and it made me bigger, better and stronger.” That helped Lieberman become a high school basketball star and led to her be the youngest hoops Olympian, who helped the United States woman’s team capture silver at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. At Old Dominion University in Virginia, she was part of championship teams and was the national basketball

player of the year. But meeting her idol bowled her over. “I was asked to come back to New York to do an appearance at the New York Stock Exchange,” she said. The other athlete that night was Muhammad Ali. When we walked into this room, I couldn’t breathe. It wasn’t until Muhammad Ali put his arm around me and said ‘they’ll never be a day that I’m not in your life,’” this is a kid from Far Rockaway, a kid that played on this court. To the day we buried Muhammad Ali 5 and a half years ago in Louisville, he was there every day for me. We all need somebody, we all need mentors, we all need people that care about us. I got blessed with Muhammad, and his love and his kindness.” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran noted the courts have an impact beyond just playing basketball. “This gift will provide our children with a safe place to build friendships, to learn sportsmanship, to create community, to be outside and exercise,” she said. The connected with the county began with a phone call to State Sen. Todd Kaminsky. “This court says that someone cares about you,” he said, speaking to the Nassau County Explorers, Molloy College basketball players and the young people from the community that attended the event. Other courts will be installed in North Woodmere and Wantagh parks and possibly Eisenhower Park, Nickerson Beach and the Five Towns Community Center. Officials said that grants might could be obtained to supplement the donation. “We will keep pushing to improve the quality of life in our communities,” said County Legislator Carrié Solages, who represents Inwood.

H-W’s ‘Big Four’ dominate History Fair continued from front page home of the Baseball Hall of Fame, and the national competition is held on the University of Maryland campus. In the past two years, however, amid the pandemic, the events have been virtual. “We are so humbled and appreciative that all our hard work, tremendous sacrifices and relentless pursuit of perfection in both our research and performance was admired, praised and rewarded by the outstanding national judges who are renowned historians,” Michael Heyman wrote in email. In 2019, he and Sydney took first place at the national competition as well, and the following year they finished fifth. Participants, who usually number roughly 600,000 nationwide, assemble projects based on each year’s theme. Only .01 percent of the contestants make it to the national competition. “This year-round project commences in the summer when we first receive the National History Day theme,” Sydney explained in an email. “Based on the theme, we do extensive research to try to find a perfect topic that fits and we can relate to as young adults. We find as many primary and secondary sources to compile pertinent and reliable information. Thereafter, based on the information we gather, our script, interviews, props, costumes, staging, backdrop, worksheets, process paper and annotated bibliogra-

In the Hewlett-Woodmere School District, Dr. Christine Abajian works with the students at the high school, and Kathleen Durney and Vincent Lospinuso guide students at the middle school. “We emphasize the competition to encourage

the students to conduct research that encourages a love of history,” said John Wimmer, the district’s social studies chairman. Putting together these projects, Michael said, they have gained life skills and an original perspective on history. “We learned to work as a team to acquire an incredible amount of information that

we find relevant to today’s current events,” he wrote. “The research and connections we made throughout these years has made a tremendous impact on our lives as young adults. It has influenced our perception of history, then, now and in the future, which we could never have learned from a textbook.” The winning students’ parents, Rose and Fred Heyman and Alyssa and Elliot Honig, collaborated on describing their pride in an emailed message. “We would like to say that we are so proud of their commitment, dedication and determination to succeed,” they wrote of their student scholars. “We have always supported them as a team in their travels. They have each acquired unique skills that will serve them well in their futures. Their hard work has certainly paid off and it is truly rewarding to all of us.” Madeline, Madison, Michael and Sydney have already begin working on their senior group performance project for the 2022 National History Day, and continue to count on their parents. “Our parents have been extremely supportive of our endeavors,” Sydney wrote. “The countless hours they have dedicated to help us achieve our goals by accompanying us to the regional, state and national competition venues is indescribable. They have always encouraged us and have always been our greatest cheerleaders.”

An alleged incident of sexual abuse has a Woodmere man being charged with second-degree sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child. Judah Karkowsky, 41, of Edward Avenue, a volunteer paramedic for the Woodmere Fire Department, was arrested on Sept. 23, by detectives of Nassau County’s Special Victims Squad. Police said an investigation was conducted for an incident that allegedly happened on Aug. 28 at 3 p.m., and that led to Karkowsky’s arrest. He allegedly inappropriately touched a boy, 13. Karkowsky was arranged on Sept. 24 and released without bail. The court issued a temporary restraining order. His next court date is Oct. 8. He is reprsented by Michal Soshnick, who said his client is innocent. Detectives request that if anyone thinks they might have been a victim of a similar incident to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-7477, the Nassau County Special Victims Squad at (516) 573-4022 or 911. All calls are confidential. —Jeffrey Bessen

NASSAU HERALD — September 30, 2021

In an effort to reduce gridlock in a heavily trafficked area and help emergency responders, Nassau County’s Department of Public Works painted a grid box at the intersection of East Avenue by Meadowmere Park and Rockaway Turnpike. Meadowmere Park Fire Department officials, residents and then County Legislator Carrié Solages (D - Lawrence) have stumped for the installation of the markings since 2015. The grid box is in addition to the existing “State Law -- Do Not Block Side Road” signs at the intersection. The work was completed earlier this month. Fire department officials previously warned that the gridlock, which prevents fire trucks and ambulances from promptly responding to emergency calls within its jurisdiction, is a critical public safety concern and an inconvenience to residents of the roughly 100-house communi-

Q. Our new home is pretty old, from 1920. We

want to update it and have a lot of concerns, with taxes if we enlarge it, cost if we get rid of walls, widening our driveway to park more cars and what you think about getting rid of our garage for more room instead of building up. It’s a one-story with low ceilings on the second floor that are really too small for bedrooms. My parents have been reading your column for many years and suggested you could help. What can you tell us?

Ask The Architect

tree pruning stump grinding lot clearing

1145159

A. It’s hard for me not to feel as old as your house when you put it that way, but after writing this column for 32 years, I’m often doing work for children of former clients, and have gotten your question thousands of times. First, almost anything you do that adds space to your home also adds value, and value increases taxes. Cosmetic onte eeper changes like siding, windows or an asphalt or concrete driveway generally don’t affect the value, but luxury materials, such as stone facing or interlocking pavers, will. Most of the time, people complain about taxation but rarely, if ever, do they collectively attempt to do anything about it. The methods for deciding value, or even using value as a gauge for tax increases, are questionable, especially because we used to be taxed based on square feet. As we transition into not leaving our homes, communicating digitally, the tax system perpetuates without challenge. In many villages and towns, garages are required, and hard surfaces for any kind of paving are considered “impervious,” not replenishing groundwater. There are limits on how much of your total property you can cover. You will need to investigate your specific jurisdiction’s requirements. Sidewalks, patios and driveways are all impervious, but pools and decks generally are not. You’ll need your property survey, which is a map of your lot, house size and location, but you’ll also discover that surveyors generally don’t provide the dimensions of porches, sidewalks, driveways or steps. Get out a tape measure and accurately document the property’s hard surfaces if you’re in a community that requires impervious-area information. When you hire an architect or engineer, that’s what we have to do. The only way to answer questions about removing walls is to assess the whole house: where to disperse loads, how to brace exterior walls against wind shear, how to handle snow loads and wind uplift, where pipes and wires would be relocated, how the spaces function and will be finished. Package all this to be reviewed by building officials and receive permission to build — sounds simpler than it is, especially when workers leave details out or change something and we start adjusting all over again, only after much discussion, time and money. That’s also part of the age-old process. Avoid changes once you decide, save money doing so and your old house will be like new again.

opINIoNS

was mowing my backyard lawn in Merrick last Saturday when I was suddenly struck by the strange sensation that I had missed the bus to my race — that I should, at the moment, have been running a 5K or a 10K at a frantic pace instead of plodding along, mower in hand. The temperature was a perfect 72 degrees, with no wind. Sunshine streamed down. The leaves on the trees were halfbrown and turning crisp. Fall was clearly in the air. Year after year, from my early adolescence to my SCoTT young adulthood, I ran cross-country BRINToN every fall, from middle school through college, missing only two seasons in high school. I was conditioned to gear up for the racing season as September neared an end. When the fall air and the angle of the sun in the sky turned just so, I had to be ready to run — hard. The nervous anticipation I felt as the racing season approached was embedded in my brain, and every now and again it pops up, even now, more than three decades later. Such was the case on Saturday. That got me thinking about how screwy the past 18 months must have been for our

young athletes, how all of the coronavirus delays and cancellations in their sports seasons must have messed with their heads, whether they were elementary-age kids a few years into athletics or college competitors. When you’ve participated for years in a sport, there is an intuitive sense you feel for its up-anddown rhythms and welltimed rituals. As a cross-country runner, I knew I had from midSeptember to late October to qualify for season-ending championships in early November, a narrow window within which to achieve that year’s goals, for sure. It was six straight weeks of focused energy, of exacting routines and, potentially, of great disappointment or glory on the field of play. I was never a star runner, though in college I did eventually achieve my goal of breaking 17 minutes in the 5K, running it in 16:40, and 5 minutes in the mile, finishing it in 4:31. What cross-country, and track in college, gave me was a sense of belonging, camaraderie, place. That’s important for a young person. Athletics also gave me a routine — I knew where I had to be after school and on Saturday. My schedule revolved around sports. I thought about how disruptive the pandemic must have been over the past year and a half to the routines of tens of thousands of young athletes, and the joy they

must be feeling as they return this fall for their regularly appointed seasons. Then I thought about Bulgaria. From 1991 to 1993, I served in the Peace Corps there, teaching English at the Vasil Drumev High School of Mathematics and Natural Sciences in Veliko Tarnovo, an ancient city in central Bulgaria. There were no after-school athletics in Bulgarian schools. If you wanted to play sports, you attended a specialized high school, open only to those displaying natural athletic ability. At Vasil Drumev, there wasn’t even much of a gym program. The students, in grades seven to 12, hung out in the school courtyard during a free period when the weather permitted, playing basketball or volleyball. Boys did most of the playing. Girls often sat on the sidelines, chatting. There were no grass fields, no bleachers or scoreboards, only two basketball hoops set on one downwardsloping asphalt court, which, in the U.S., would no doubt have been a lawsuit waiting to happen. One day, I asked my students what they did after school without sports or even clubs. Mostly, they said, they walked around town with friends, stopping for coffee at a café, where they would sit for an hour or two before heading home to finish homework and eat dinner with their fami-

’d never suggest that we do away with them, but they do have a downside.

lies. Afterward, they might watch TV on the handful of channels that were available then, and they were usually in bed by 10 p.m. It all sounded shockingly stress-free. High school and college athletics in the U.S. can be wonderful, but the competitions are frequently high-stress events. The emphasis is too often on winning, on beating the competition, on rising to the top. Even youth athletics can be anxiety-provoking, which I found as a volunteer soccer and track coach when my kids were younger. I hope the pandemic might give us pause to think more deeply about our high school and college athletic programs. I would never suggest that we do away with them and adopt a Bulgarian-like system. As a former interscholastic athlete, I see the intrinsic value in sports. I also see the downside — the over-programming of students’ schedules, the often intense rivalries that can develop between teams and lead to divisions among young people, and the prioritization of victory over young athletes’ health, including their mental health. Pushing young people beyond their limits to the point of a physical or mental breakdown in order to win a trophy is never worth the cost. Never.

It’s fall 2021. Can summer 2022 be far behind?

y earliest memory of a family vacation adventure ended with my mother and father falling into each other’s arms and sobbing. I was 7 years old. They were 31. We traveled 11 hours in our black Oldsmobile to a rental my dad had found in the newspaper known as Stony Hill Farm. It was in the armpit of New Hampshire, and we had dreamt of it, talked about it, and planned for it over an entire grim New York winter. I can still see the scene where we drove onto the property. I was sweating RANDI in the back seat KREISS with my 3-year-old sister and my Grandma Annie. We had turned off the main road, and when we saw the sign for Stony Hill, we were thrilled that all the days of our two-week vacation lay ahead. Then we saw the “cottages” — tiny, shabby huts that were more than chicken coops but not acceptable dwellings for humans who could walk upright. We moved in, but not really. At 4 a.m. my parents woke us up, and we jumped into the car and fled, presumably skipping out on

our reservation and any financial commitments to the scamming “resort” owner. The story came back to me this week as I started fantasizing about finding a rental for a few weeks in Maine next summer. I know it’s crazy early for planning anything, but I’m dreaming. I need to buy into a future when we can travel again without risking our lives. In case you’re wondering, everyone is going to Maine; it’s become the “it” place for summer. Ogunquit is the new East Hampton. Part of Maine’s popularity has been its shabby chic, inexpensive cachet. No more. Long gone are the days when early colonists fed lobsters, considered trash food, to their prisoners. Since my early trauma in New Hampshire, the renting of vacation properties has become big business on Vrbo, Airbnb, HomeToGo and other platforms that bring owners and renters together — not without issues. The companies have gotten so big, and so many people are looking to escape, that the fees have soared and the potential for scams is always present. That said, we’ve found reasonably good vacation apartments and houses over the past 30 years, and I was looking to Maine for our

getaway. Maine may still be shabby, but the prices are for the rich and famous. For the uninitiated, when you rent on the platforms, for any time from one night to several months, you get to see photos and a list of amenities and house rules and availability. I am now the world’s expert on deciphering what the house descriptions and photos actually reveal. Wherever you wander, I offer this as a pubic service: When reading about a property, look no further if you see the words “cozy” or “adorable.” This is online speak for cramped. You may have to crawl into the dormer bedroom. If the list of amenities includes “washing machine available,” it may be coin-operated. You don’t want to play your washer like a slot machine. “Basic” kitchen supplies is a red flag. Expect only salt and pepper. “Evolving” neighborhood also not a positive. Study, study, study the photos. The angles can make a 6-by-8 room look like a football field. We nearly booked one appealing place until we looked at a photo of a bedroom and spotted what turned out to be a toilet right next to the bed. Another place had beautiful

s you search for a future vacation rental, pay very close attention to details.

wood floors, white walls and spiffy-looking appliances, but no other furniture aside from beds in otherwise empty bedrooms and living areas. “Waterfront” can mean anything from waves crashing on a beach in front of the house to a glimpse of a canal from an attic window. You must read all — every one — of the house reviews posted by renters. People will write on and on about how perfect the house is and then, perhaps prompted by conscience, add something like, “Just one little thing. There were mice in the walls. But, really, the owner took care of it immediately.” One house looked very promising until I read a review that said, “This was a spectacular house with a beautiful view of the bay. I would definitely go back again except for the man living in the basement.” Now I’m pursuing non-Maine properties, slightly off the grid, with more acceptable prices. Canada is a possibility if it stays open to travelers from the U.S. I did see a nice house in South Dakota. It boasted “stunning mountain views” and a “chef ’s kitchen.” But one reviewer complained of bears breaking into cars, more than once. There’s always something. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss.

We need storm-hardening projects now, not later

ere we are, nine years after Superstorm Sandy pummeled Nassau County’s South and North Shores, still waiting for the federal and state governments to take meaningful action to harden our coastal infrastructure to withstand the likes of such a storm in the future. For sure, strides have been made. The City of Long Beach has a new, much sturdier boardwalk, constructed of hardwood rather than pine. Smart move. It also has new dunes, with cord-grass plantings, to hold back the ocean. And here and there, small flood-mitigation projects have been undertaken in various communities. We have yet to see the types of largescale hardening projects that were promised in Sandy’s wake, however. Check valves, for example, were supposed to be installed on storm drains that let out into the bays in any number of communities, but they are yet to materialize. Check valves prevent the tide from flowing backward into storm drains and flooding streets. During Sandy, backflow caused by the storm’s rush of seawater flooded hundreds of blocks nowhere near the bays.

Our communities need check valves. Where are they? Our new governor, Kathy Hochul, needs to answer us on this one. For that matter, where are the streetraising projects? Is there any word on a $300 million proposal by Freeport Mayor Robert Kennedy to construct tidal floodgates across Jones Inlet? He first proposed the idea five years ago. So far we’ve had nothing but studies. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently released a draft report of its Nassau County Storm Risk Management Study, which suggests elevating more than 14,000 homes across the South Shore, at a cost of $3.8 billion, to mitigate the risk of flood damage during big storms, which are only expected to grow more powerful in the coming decades because of climate change. Global warming not only heats up the atmosphere, but also increases sea surface temperatures. Warmer oceans provide greater energy for hurricanes to feed off. So, yes, we need to act, as the study asserts. At what point, though, do we stop studying and start taking decisive action? The risk management study began in

2016. It is not expected to be complete until 2023 — more than a decade after Sandy ravaged our shorelines. Beyond that, it’s unclear where the billions of dollars in funding to elevate thousands of homes would come from. This isn’t right. People deserve answers from our elected leaders. State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a Democrat from Long Beach who heads the Senate Environmental Conservation Committee and is running for county district attorney, recently expressed frustration with the lack of action on the storm-hardening front. Speaking of the Army Corps study, he said, “This study, while welcome, needs to become more than just paper and evolve into funding and real deliverables as soon as possible. This must go from concepts to actual, physical storm hardening — and that’s what matters as sea levels rise and storms intensify. Time is of the essence.” We agree. So we are pleading with Hochul and local elected leaders across Nassau to take definitive action and push for more than studies. We need projects now, before it’s too late.

Safety first, especially at the fair

air and festivals season is upon us again. Last weekend, the Chamber of Commerce of the Bellmores staged its famed Family Street Festival, touted as the largest such fair in Nassau County, annually attracting as many as 100,000 people. This year, the crowds were back, despite the coronavirus, thronging Bedford Avenue. It was, on one hand, a much-welcome relief to see people back together, laughing, smiling, chowing on roasted corn and zeppole. On the other, it was more than a little concerning that so many people were elbow to elbow in relatively close quarters. Social distancing — and masking — were out. In no way are we suggesting canceling such festivals. We need them now to help rebuild our tattered spirits. We would like to see more people wearing masks during such events, however. Yes, folks are outdoors, so ventilation isn’t a problem. Yes, many Nassau adults are vaccinated. We should make every attempt, however, to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus in all ways possible, and masking helps. By the way, the Bellmore chamber wasn’t the only organization holding a

festival over the weekend. Huntington Mobilization for Sustainability did as well. The Huntington Environmental Festival brought together conservation groups from across Long Island to teach about subjects ranging from electric cars to geothermal energy, composting and more. What a wonderful idea! We suggest

that other groups, like our chambers of commerce, incorporate their own environmental corners into their festivals and fairs in the coming years. Long Island juts into the Atlantic Ocean, so it’s vulnerable to the effects of climate change (see editorial above). We need all the environmental education we can get.

opinions

friend was lamenting the antivaccine movement and those who advocate their freedom from mandates, government or otherwise, to become vaccinated against Covid-19. After commenting on the irony of “pro-life” advocates wanting freedom from life-saving vaccines, my friend said, “What’s up with them?” Fortunately, about 75 percent of the adult population in the U.S. has been vaccinated at least once. Vaccination coverage, however, varies widely across roBert the country and among different sCott racial and ethnic groups. Black and Hispanic people are less likely than whites to have received vaccines, leaving them at high risk, especially with the Delta variant. As of September, nearly 60 percent of white people had received at least one dose of the vaccine, compared with only 10 percent of Black people, 17 percent of Hispanics, 6 percent of Asians, 1 percent of Native Americans and Alaskan Natives, and under 1 percent of Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders. The low rate of vaccination among Blacks may be explained in part by their history with American health care. From

the time of slavery through the Jim Crow era, the Flexner reforms of medical education and medical care that disenfranchised Black citizens, through the syphilis “experiments” and segregation, Black people have been discriminated against, and have good reasons to be skeptical of government and corporate health care. In recent months, however, owing in large part to citizen and community advocacy, vaccinations are reaching larger numbers of Black and Hispanics. Nevertheless, there are elected officials and activist groups who argue against sensible public health measures such as vaccinations and mask-wearing. Unfortunately, these zealots brook no questions about their assertions and assumptions. Their responses to questions like “Why not?” often is, “You just don’t get it.” Perhaps one of the major challenges in our country is that we hesitate to engage those with other views. We have conservatives who think in terms of conserving privilege instead of promoting policies for the common good, and liberals whose lifestyles or attitudes at times belie their principles of equality and inclusion. A former state senator in New Jersey was known for his familiar refrain: “We can disagree without being disagreeable.” I sometimes wish this phrase were posted on every street corner in America.

s members of a society — family, village or nation — we are free, but with responsibilities.

Letters Consider residents when holding meetings To the Editor: I read the Sept. 23-29 article “Proposed Inwood project seeks 25-year PILOT,” about the proposed Inwood project. I am opposed to a project of this magnitude. It’s just too big. However, what bothered me more is that your article states that “only one resident attended the hearing.” It should be noted that the hearing was held on Monday, Sept. 20, the eve of Sukkot, which prohibited most of the predominantly Orthodox Jewish residents of the Five Towns from attending. Unfortunately, this practice has become all too commonplace. Meetings “conveniently” held just around the time that residents are celebrating holidays so that we don’t have time to show up; traffic studies being conducted on holidays and on Saturdays, when many are prohibited from driving. The timing for this meeting was entirely inappropriate, and insensitive to the Five Towns community at large.

Those who object to vaccinations not only put themselves in harm’s way, as many have learned, but also put the health of others in jeopardy. They must acknowledge responsibility for illness and death when not following the guidance of science-based public health protocols. How ironic it is that many who argue for the rights of the unborn act against the rights of the living to be protected from disease. The anti-vaxxers might think they are making a political or perhaps theological choice, but in fact they are making a moral choice. They are asserting a set of values that can harm and kill others. We are taught to love one another, even the meekest among us, but anti-vaxxers often prefer antipathy to empathy. A defense offered by some is that mandates violate their freedom. Yes, a democracy honors freedom and provides that its citizens are free to question orthodoxy, to express opinions without fear of consequence, within the boundaries of law. Consequently, members of a democracy must exercise freedom with responsibility, not freedom unfettered from concern for others. Those who refuse to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle may cite their freedom to feel the air flow through their hair, but to do so is to ignore the societal

FrAmework by Joe Abate

The residents of the Five Towns have proven time and again that we care very much about massive projects being proposed in our midst, such as the “6th town” (the proposed Woodmere Club development) and the “Pearsall Monster” (the proposed Cedarhurst development). Historically, we show up en masse to meetings like this, and I’m sure we would have had a lot to say at that hearing had it not been for the terribly inconvenient timing. At the very least, the Town of Hempstead should extend its public comment period to allow residents to voice their opinions. RENA SAFFRA Cedarhurst

costs incurred when they crash. Society pays for their irresponsible behavior. The same is true for anti-vaxxers. Freedom isn’t a simple concept. We can be free “from” bondage and free to exercise our will, but as members of a society, whether it be a family, a community or a nation, we are free, with responsibilities. Freedom “with” derives from our founding principle expressed as “We the people.” “We,” not “I.” To flout this freedom is to fail to understand the different ways of knowing what we think of as truth. Public-health policy depends on truth as established by science, through rigorous experimentation and replication. Those opposed to vaccine mandates cling to a truth based on faith, which cannot be replicated, or a truth based on fear of authority and suspicion of government, which may at times be justified. These forms of truth generally focus on “I” instead of “we.” As American citizens with equal voices and residents of the world community, we must bear witness to the health and safety of others as well as ourselves. We must engage in boundary-spanning discussions and promote education about public health. We must honor the humanity of our neighbors and fellow citizens if we are to have a viable democracy.
