abrina Guo has so many accomplishments, it’s hard to know where to start. The 16-year-old Oyster Bay Cove resident, a junior at Syosset High School, has received awards for student journalism, her poetry and her skill as a violinist. Her social activism is equally impressive. In 2018 she founded Girl Pride International, a global nonprofit girls’ empowerment organization. Then, in 2020, she launched Long Island Laboring Against Covid-19. The pandemic relief organization, which is under an offshoot of Girl Pride, initially raised funds to buy personal protection equipment for medical professionals, first responders and other frontline workers. LILAC went on to help school districts and communities that also needed PPE, which it has continued to do. In July, President Biden sent Guo a letter of thanks for her efforts with LILAC, and included a Presidential Gold Volunteer Service Award. Guo works tirelessly to help people in her community and around the world, making her a perfect choice for the Herald’s 2021 Person of the Year. This was a busy year for her. She was profiled on Disney’s YouTube channel for its social initiative, “Use Your Voice,” in May. Her public service announcement aired on the Disney Channel, Disney+, Disney Junior and Disney’s other platforms. In it, she tells viewers that she uses her voice to uplift her community. “A lot of younger kids can see the video,” she said, “and I hope they know that no matter your age, you can make an impact, small or big, with actions in your community.” Also in May, Guo helped organize a student-led rally at the Syosset Long Island Rail Road station, highlighting the increase in attacks on Asian Americans. She experienced racism in elementary school, she said, being excluded from activities by cliques because of her race.

Hearing about Guo’s leadership at the rally, the Long Island Chinese American Association invited her to speak at its October meeting, along with U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer. There the two discussed ways that community leaders could work with Schumer to combat hate crimes, bigotry and violence, particularly against the Asian American Pacific Islander community. Guo also shared one of her own experiences with Schumer. “I was flipped off and verbally assaulted by a couple while I was in the middle of an interview with a news station,” she said. “It shook me to my core.” Schumer told her it was important to speak out. “If you stay silent, it will grow,” he warned. “The demons have been let out, and we have to push them back in.” Guo impressed upon Schumer the importance of integrating Asian American and other minority groups’ histories into school curricula across the country. She asked him to pass legislation to ensure it, she said, and he pledged to do so. “One thing that is unique is for him to hear the voices of youth, and for us to inform him how important this issue is to us,” she said.

Suozzi: A mad dash for safety U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi, of Glen Cove, was in the House of Representatives chamber when the Capitol was breached by protesters on the afternoon of Jan. 6. A debate over certification of Electoral College results in the presidential election was under way when Congressional members were instructed to retrieve the gas masks from under their chairs. Capitol Police drew their guns. Republican and Democratic lawmakers huddled together, Suozzi said. A protester broke through the glass on the main door, which the president enters through for the State of the Union. Representatives on the floor of the
chamber were escorted out first. Suozzi was upstairs in the gallery, far from the door, at the time. “At one point we were concerned that we couldn’t exit, so 30 of us stayed there,” he said. “We wanted to see if [protesters] would break through the doors. Capitol Police had their weapons drawn.” “We finally left the chambers, and I saw several protesters on the floor surrounded by Capitol Police,” Suozzi said. “We went downstairs through a labyrinth,.

The U.S. Capitol was attacked on Jan. 6 by a mob of angry U.S. President Donald Trump supporters.
Erika Bruno dies at 66 Erika Bruno, who died on Jan. 16, served on the Locust Valley Board of Education for 12 years, as a trustee, co-president, and president for the 2016 to 2017 school year. In 2018, having been a Bayville resident for 20 years, she unsuccessfully ran for a trustee seat on the village board as a candidate on the Bayville Revitalization ticket during a time of local political upheaval. Bruno said at the time that her experiences on the school board as well as budget negotiations, would help her look at the big picture in disputes and search for points of agree-
New drop box for medications Flushing or throwing away unwanted drugs was once encouraged, but no more. Although the traditional options of disposal ensured that the drugs would not fall into the wrong hands, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has found that aquatic life can be adversely affected, as well as that of humans. In Bayville, waste pharmaceuticals that end up in the garbage, go into a landfill and those flushed down the toilet are transported to either a septic tank or cesspool. Richard Walka worked for the DEC in the 1970’s. When he learned of DEC grants for a secure “drop box” for prescription controlled and non-con-
trolled substances, he became committed to making certain that the village had one at its pharmacy. His efforts paid off and today Bayville Pharmacy continues to have a drop box. Inside the drop box there is a stainless steel box that once filled, is sealed and picked up by Covanta, an industrial waste management company, which destroys the medication in a high temperature incinerator.
At Bayville Pharmacy, pharmacist Michael Hancock, left, unlocked the drop box to allow Ryan McKeon to dispose of his medication safely.

ment amid disagreements. Even as she suffered from Glioblastoma, a malignant tumor affecting the brain and the spine, Bruno remained selfless, crying for the sick children she would see as she received treatment at a radiation center in Harlem, N.Y. “She would say, ‘This is so wrong,’” her daughter Sasha said. “I hope to be half the person she was.”
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino joined New York State Assemblyman Michael Montesano and Public Safety Commissioner Justin McCaffrey to unveil a new emergency operations center on the town’s North Shore. The center, located in the northeast section of T.R. Park made possible by a grant secured by the assemblyman. The center is utilized by first responders from the town’s Bay Constable Division and Department of Public Safety, as well as the Nassau
County Police Marine Bureau. Each division also has its own space within the building. Montesano secured $100,000 in grant funding for the center as part of the State and Municipal Facilities Program, through which local municipalities work with state officials to help improve facilities.

Glen Cove Hospital and Covid, 1 year later When the virus was first reported early last year, doctors and nurses were learning about it, said Kerri Scanlon, a registered nurse and Glen Cove Hospital’s executive director. They were bewildered, unable to prevent so many people from dying, she said. Lucianne Fenza, a nurse in the hospital’s intensive care unit, was assigned its first Covid patient. “I remember being told, ‘Luci, he’s positive,’ and I wondered what that meant for me and my family,” she said. “There were so many unknowns then. We didn’t think he would make it.” But the patient survived. “He has thanked us all, and wanted us to know that he heard us, even when sedated,”

Fenza said. “He thanked us for giving him a second chance on life.” What was most important to her, Fenza said, was to keep Covid patients off ventilators, because only 10 percent of those who were put on them survived. To get a patient’s attention, she would dance while holding up signs with words of encouragement.

A bill introduced by Legislator Josh Lafazan was considered in March and passed in April by the Nassau County Legislature to rename a portion of Forest Avenue in Locust Valley to Sgt. Robert Hendriks Way. The gesture honored the life and service of a local young man who paid the ultimate sacrifice while defending his country. Hendriks, 25 at the time of his death, was a member the 25th Regiment, 4th Marine Division, United States Marine Corps Reserve. A member of the Weapon Company of the 2nd battalion, he was tasked with sup-
port of infantry and rifle companies. On Apr 8, 2019, Hendriks and other members of his unit were traveling back to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan when an improvised roadside explosive device detonated near his vehicle. He and two other Marines — Sgt. Christopher K.A. Slutman, 43, from the South Bronx, and Sgt. Benjamin S. Hines, 31, from York, Pa. – were killed.

Unique way to learn about the past After a decade of renovations, Raynham Hall Education Center opened on June 13. Located in the former Lincoln Market building on Audrey Avenue, the center is adjacent to Raynham Hall Museum, once the home of Revolutionary War spy Robert Townsend. In 2011, the Town of Oyster Bay purchased the building for the museum’s use on the condition that the Friends of Raynham Hall, which operates the museum on behalf of the town, raise funds for the center. Using an augmented-reality app on a smartphone, visitors inside the museum and education center can now see and hear members of the Townsend family, one of their slaves
and British Lt. Col. John Graves Simco, who led the occupation of the hamlet during the Revolutionary War. The experience, called “1776AR,” was created by 360XR, a U.S.-based technology company, and brings to life the vision of the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation to reinterpret history in a more user-friendly way to appeal to young people as well as seasoned museum-goers.

The Oyster Bay Musical Festival returned celebrating its 10th anniversary with 12 free concerts. The theme of the concerts from June 27 through July 6 was Indispensable Music, with concerts performed in some of the most beautiful settings along the North Shore, including Planting Fields, Chelsea Mansion, Cedarmere Estate, Raynham Hall Education Center, the Nassau County Museum of Art, Congregation L’Dor V’Dor, and the Western Waterfront. OBMF started 10 years ago, intending to dot the town of Oyster Bay with classical music concerts, often two or three a day, for just over a week. Since
then, the festival has grown into a community institution, with new local venues requesting to be a stop on the concert tour each year. The concerts featured gifted young musicians who studied at Juilliard and Yale, among others. Audience favorites such as the Zandieh Trio, from Oyster Bay; pianist Maxim Lando, winner of the prestigious Young Concert Artists Competition; and award-winning flutist Matthew Ross returned. New guests included sitarist Rishab Sharma, the youngest and last disciple of Ravi Shankar, and soprano Emily Donato. The Zandieh Trio

Locust Valley rises to top Seven games into what was shaping up as a statement/turnaround season, the Locust Valley boys’ soccer team slammed into a reality check. Eventual Nassau Conference BC champion Cold Spring Harbor sent the visiting Falcons – who had entered the teams’ Sept. 30 meeting as surprise BC leaders at 4-1-1 – spiraling earthward with a 5-2 setback. For the first time all autumn, a chastened Locust Valley – still within earshot of echoes from its 0-9 spring – felt it had been simply overmatched. “That game challenged us because we felt like we just couldn’t win,” said longtime coach Joe Lee. “It made us say, ‘Where are we? Can we get back?’ We knew after Cold Spring Harbor that, if we wanted to compete, we’d have to be better on defense. So we moved some key pieces around.” When the teams met again a month later for higher stakes, it was the reconfigured Falcons doing the flummoxing. With senior Jack Ginsberg – en route to his first All-County nod – moved from midfield to center back, Locust Valley would take 2-1 double-overtime revenge against the Seahawks in the Nassau Class B final Oct. 28, netting the

The Holiday Season is a Time for Creating Joyful Family Memories Oyster Bay nets volleyball title Though East Rockaway dominated Oyster Bay twice in the regular season, the Baymen vanquished the Rocks when it counted most to earn the Nassau Class C girls’ volleyball championship on Nov. 8. Oyster Bay ultimately prevailed over defending champion East Rockaway, 16-25, 25-23, 25-21, 16-25, 25-17, to win the title for the second time in three seasons. The victory flipped the script from the previous two meetings between the teams, where the Rocks dominated six straight sets. “They kicked our butt twice, and both times, we talked about it, my team didn’t show up those days,” Oyster Bay head coach Jen Iles said, “which, in essence, turned out good for us, because [East Rockaway] didn’t know
what was coming today. We came in ready to go, and we’ve played them enough to know where weaknesses are, and tried to exploit what we could.” The two teams went back and forth in the final set, until the Baymen took a 12-11 lead that they wouldn’t relinquish. After Gianna Mancusi’s kill brought the Rocks to within 15-14, Oyster Bay took control, winning 10 of the final 13 points to earn the title as players and coaches came pouring off the bench to celebrate on the gym floor.

The event was livestreamed worldwide. “It was such an exhilarating and enriching experience to speak out at such an enormously powerful platform like the U.N.,” Guo recalled. “My poem was a tribute to our sanitation workers and custodians, who received little to no recognition throughout the pandemic.” Her generation, she added, is inheriting a damaged planet. “We have to do everything we can to help,” she said. “I was extremely proud to represent Oyster Bay and New York, and am just constantly inspired by all those who tirelessly worked to keep our neighborhood clean, beautiful and green.” Although Guo’s activism began in 2018, she was known for helping others as far back as fourth grade. When Tina Tang arrived from China, she spoke no English. She and Sabrina were in the same class at Berry Hill Elementary. “Sabrina was my first friend here, the first one to talk to me,” said Tang, 16, now a junior at Friends Academy. “She even translated for me. Sabrina is smart, but not just book-smart. She can always see the needs of the community, and finds ways to help them.” Tang, the co-assistant director of fundraising for Girl Pride, described Guo as an effective leader, someone who can speak to elected leaders without fear. “I see her interactions with other adults and leaders,” Tang said, “and see her as one of them.” It was Michelle Obama’s “Let Girls L e a r n ” i n i t i a t ive t h a t inspired Guo to create Girl Pride. While a student at South Woods Middle School in October 2018, she wrote a OF letter to Obama telling her that she was inspired by the former first lady’s initiative, and was surprised when she received a call from Obama’s office. She was invited to Obama’s “Becoming” book tour stop at Barclays Center. “From then on, my desire was to uplift the marginalized girls, and to provide more platforms for their voices so they can be heard,” Guo said. She founded Crossing Borders in the winter of 2018, with the approval and support of the Syosset Central School District. As Girl Pride’s first initiative, with the help of a group of Syrian female artists known as Another King of Girl Collective, Crossing Borders created an exchange of 40 international pen-pal letters connecting American students with Syrian refugee girls living in the Za’atari refugee camp in Jordan. Crossing Borders now has more than 100 letter-writing members worldwide.

of the Syosset School District, said he recognized Guo as a young leader when she was in middle school. “I have over 6,700 students, and it’s hard to get to know any of them, but I know Sabrina,” Rogers said. “Our young people believe they can change the world for the better, but Sabrina is extraordinary. She has invested herself fully in her philanthropical activism.” Perhaps what is most striking about Guo, those who know her say is her generosity of spirit. The suffering and loss brought on by the coronavirus pandemic led her, she said, to make a decision in 2020, prior to establishing Long Island Laboring Against Covid-19, that even THE her parents, Spencer and Eva Guo, did not initially understand. Their daughter, who was 14 at the time, said she wanted to use her $40,000 of college savings, and $1,000 of personal savings, to buy PPE for medical and non-medical front-line workers. “We had lost half of our savings and retirement money due to the stock market crash in the middle of the pandemic,” said Spencer, 49, a semiretired educational consultant. “But we said yes, after Sabrina asked us how we paid for college.” Children of immigrants from China, Sabrina’s parents worked to fund their college education. “Sabrina said to me, ‘If you could pay for college, so can I,’” Spencer recounted. She for med LILAC on March 23, 2020, and began fundraising, with her own money included in the GoFundMe donation site she set up. “Money you can earn back,” she explained, “but lives you cannot.” A middle-school standout That May, at the height of the panDr. Thomas Rogers, superintendent demic, LILAC focused its efforts on

LILAC has pledged to continue contributing for the next two years.

Wheat connected her with Benny B’s restaurant, in Baldwin, and Sarah Brown Caterers, in Great Neck, which provided a lunch for Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital that LILAC hosted. Abrahams said he has seen many people offer help during the pandemic, but Guo is different. “Others are doing good things, too, but not to this magnitude,” he said. “She stands out because she is able to do so much at such a young age, and is able to network with people from all walks of life.”

Tom Suozzi running for governor Man drives car into the Sound An 85-year-old man died on Nov. 18 after driving his 2011 Volkswagen Jetta into the Long Island Sound in Oyster Bay. The car flipped over as it landed in the Sound at 3 p.m. after jumping a curb and knocking down a portion of the black aluminum fence at the Theodore Roosevelt Marina. A popular kayak launch and fishing spot, the narrow section of the parking lot where the incident occurred is
near an outdoor kayak storage area, fish hatchery and bay constable buildings. “Two bay constables and an employee from environmental resources saw it happen,” said Justin McCaffrey, the town’s commissioner for public safety, adding that police were called immediately.

Vets Day ceremony honors 13 killed in Afghanistan Each year on Veteran’s Day members of the Bayville Robert H. Spittel Post 1285 American Legion hold their ceremony outside Village Hall. Traditionally, there is a short ceremony to remember and honor living and dead service members, but this year the post decided to do something different. In August, shortly after 13 U.S. service members were killed in Afghanistan, the post held a meeting and decided to honor the service
members who died that day at this year’s Veterans Day ceremony. “We wanted to recognize their bravery,” Bayville American Legion Commander Vincent Libertini said. “Many of them were just kids.” The names and ages of those killed were read by legion members during a ceremony. Each year post officers read excerpts from the National American Legion manual, which veterans use to conduct their ceremonies.

U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi announced on Nov. 30 that he was a candidate for governor. Suozzi, 59, of Glen Cove, described himself as a “common-sense Democrat.” He said he would work with anyone to solve problems to benefit the people he serves. “I’ve had a proven record in my career of doing that,” he said. “It’s about doing the correct thing to help people.” He added, “I feel like this whole left-right extremist thing is killing our country and our state.” Suozzi, a Democrat who represents the North Shore’s 3rd Congressional District, has worked over the past four years to reinstate homeowners’ ability to deduct all of their state and local taxes from their federal income tax bills. The SALT
deduction, which was capped at $10,000 in 2017, has cost many Long Island residents thousands of dollars annually. Most recently, Suozzi pledged that he would not vote for infrastructure and social spending bills proposed by President Biden if SALT reform were not included in the legislation. The House approved a provision in Biden’s infrastructure bill on Nov. 19 to raise the SALT cap to $80,000. A decision has not been made yet in the Senate.

YEAR IN REVIEW DECEMBER
U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi, a former Glen Cove mayor and Nassau County executive, is now seeking the governorship.
Professed ‘unifier’ running for Congress Josh Lafazan, the youthful, affable Nassau County legislator who represents District 18, announced on Monday that he is entering the race for Congressman Tom Suozzi’s seat in the House of Representatives. Suozzi is running for governor. Former Bayville village Trustee John Taylor said that Lafazan’s decision to run now is wise, and the opportunity is one he probably can’t pass up. “Josh has got the energy, ambition and drive to do it,” Taylor, a Republican, said. Lafazan, 27, an independent who caucuses with Democrats in the Legislature, registered with the party on Dec. 3. As a legislator, he explained, he focused on nonpartisan issues, unlike the work he would do in Congress. “I’ve championed Democratic issues as a legislator, whether sup-
porting the environment or fighting climate change, supporting unions” he said. “When it comes to my morality and my beliefs, they align with the Democratic Party.” Now in his third term in the Legislature, which he joined at age 23 — its youngest member ever — Lafazan has passed more bills than any of his colleagues, 14. Describing himself as a “unifier,” he said he has the ability to bring Democrats and Republicans together on issues at the federal level as he has done in Nassau County.

Editorials offer the opinions of the Herald. Editors write them. Editorials do not necessarily reflect the views of the individuals who write them; rather, they are the institutional voice of the news organization. That is why they are unsigned. Herald editorial department staff members meet weekly to plan the editorials. Independent reporting by our staff often helps inform our editorials. We might also speak with experts and advocates to gain their perspective before sitting down to write an editorial. We are proud to say that we have won many press association awards for our editorial writing over the years. Among our most important duties is publication of our annual endorsements in local elections. We take this responsibility seriously. Editorial staff members sit down with candidates to question them about their views on major issues before offering the paper’s opinions about which candidates would best represent our readers.
Editorial cartoon Each editorial cartoon provides a thoughtful and, we hope, humorous perspective on the major news of the week. Prize-winning cartoonists from across the country produce the cartoons, which do not necessarily represent the opinions of the Herald or its staff.

t
he Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pa., set off a cascade of worldwide catastrophes over the subsequent two decades — the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and many other terrorist attacks, in multiple countries. September 2001 seems like a lifetime ago, but for those old enough to remember that terrible year, it remains a haunting memory, a fever dream that we try to lock in the backs of our brains but is ever-present. For those of us in Nassau County that day, we could only watch in horror as grayblack smoke plumes spiraled out of the twisted, crumbled remains of the twin towers upward into an otherwise perfect azure sky. The plumes were visible from points across the county. Shortly after the attacks, people started to gather on the beach in Lido and at the Norman J. Levy Park and Preserve in Merrick — the highest point on the South Shore — to watch the billowing smoke, staring silently in stunned disbelief. The United States homeland was under attack for the first time since World War II, and at that moment, we had no idea who the invader was, or the future suffering in distant lands that the attacks would bring. It was all incomprehensibly terrifying. In a front-page story in the Heralds’ Sept. 13-19 issue, “Terror at the Towers,” reported by Scott Brinton, Carrie James, Laura Lane, Jeff Lipton, Larry Maier and Cindy Roth, this is how we described the scene: “A wave of fear and despair raced across [Nassau County] Tuesday morning

’m really scared. It’s so scary if we have something of a World War III. I’m really, really scared. Rollen Cajoles after terrorists slammed two hijacked jetliners into the World Trade Center, sending the Twin Towers crumbling into Lower Manhattan. “In the afternoon, surviving victims of the attack filtered into Nassau by Long Island Rail Road, like refugees from a war zone. Many, who were still shaking dusty, white debris from their clothes, were not from the area but had taken the first train they could out of the city and gotten off at the first possible stop.” We sent our reporters to the train stations to meet the survivors of the attacks. Sylvia Melendez, who worked in Lower Manhattan, described the chaos after the towers crashed to the ground. “The rush of clouds of debris forced everyone out into the streets,” she said. “Everyone was running away.” Here in Nassau, people were glued to their TVs and radios, watching and listening, hoping for the best but fearing the worst. “I’ve been listening all morning,” Luisa DeGirolamo, who worked at La Margherita Pastry Shop in Bellmore Village, said. “I’m devasted. I can’t get over it.” Rollen Cagoles, of East Meadow, said, “I’m really scared. It’s so scary if we have something of a World War III. I’m really,
really scared.” Many parents rushed to their children’s schools to pick them up and take them home, fearful of further attacks. “A lot of people came and pulled their kids out because they didn’t want them to be in a place with a large group of people,” said Pat Brace, PTA president of Bowling Green Elementary School in East Meadow. “They thought they would be a target.” Nassau police doubled patrols around municipal buildings, schools, houses of worship and transportation lines. Police also diverted westbound traffic away from New York City. Motorists who had to travel major throughfares were advised to stay home. The military closed down the airspace over Long Island, with unlighted F-16 fighter jets streaking overhead above John F. Kennedy International Airport into the night of Sept. 11 to 12. Nearly 500 Long Islanders died in the attacks at the World Trade Center or later succumbed to 9/11-related illnesses. Each one was a life extinguished too soon. We must remember all of them — their essential goodness, their essential humanity. In the coming days, there will be solemn ceremonies in remembrance of the dead. Consider attending one to show your support for the victims, or stop and pause for a moment at 8:46 and 9:04 a.m. on Saturday and reflect on or say a prayer for the victims. In this way, you will help to keep their memories alive for generations to come. “Never forget” should never become a trite slogan. It should be a motto by which we live.

A letter to Governor Hochul To the Editor: Congratulations and good luck to Gov. Kathy Hochul. She has been thrust into a role that is critical to the 19.45 million people who live, work and play in the Empire State. Here on Long Island, we are especially hopeful for her good work. The challenges on Long Island are many. Our aging infrastructure needs serious attention. As the nation’s first suburb, we are living with an antiquated system that requires an upgrade. Our increasingly overburdened roadways, bridges and tunnels are dismal. The environmental infrastructure is failing. Drinking water has challenges, including the quality and quantity. Surface water contamination is rampant from nitrogen and other pollutants entering our creeks, bays, harbors and the Long Island Sound. Our air is polluted with toxins too small to see with the naked eye. We are vulnerable to sea level rise, climate change and the inevitable next big storm. The fact is, we aren’t ready. Our environment is too important for the noaction tendencies of the past to continue. Our

Opinion columns We publish three columns every week. Columns represent the views of the writers themselves, not of the Herald. Each writer works independently and chooses his or her own subjects. Among our regular contributors are the Heralds’ executive editor, Scott Brinton, and the Nassau Herald’s former executive editor, Randi Kreiss, both of whom have won numerous awards for their opinion writing. We also feature columns by prominent political figures, including former State Assemblyman Jerry Kremer, who is now a consultant. And we regularly invite guest columnists to offer their views.

hen talking with my grandkids about returning to school this fall — to the building, with other kids, not the dining room table — I was reminded of a school day of my own years ago. “Bobby.” I heard my name called on the second-floor landing of A. B. Davis High School in Mount Vernon, N.Y. The caller was Mr. Leone, Joseph Leone, my biology teacher and college adviser. “Why haven’t you signed up for ALAn the SATs?” he asked. sinGer Neither of my parents had attended college, my mother had died eight years earlier, and my father, a vacuum cleaner salesman, had his hands full with two active kids. When I think about the controversies surrounding school openings this fall, I think, too, of the critical role of teachers in the lives of their students. That certainly was the case for me. Mr. Leone wasn’t alone in affecting my life for the better. I was going to drop out of college after my first year not only because of the cost, but also because I
questioned why I was there. I entered to be a minister, but had become disillusioned with organized religion. My college adviser, Mildred Martin, helped me sort through the financial and philosophical questions and urged me to appeal my financial aid award, and I continued as her student. Other teachers stand out as well. Miss Calabrese and Miss King, in elementary school, “Pop” Phillips in high school, Mark Ebersole in college, and Kay Moore and Robin Williams in graduate school. The past year of living and learning with Covid in our path and in our shadows revealed the inequalities of access to teachers like the ones I’ve known. When teachers are diverted from their main responsibilities, teaching and advising, they can’t fulfill their roles to the fullest. It is especially difficult for them to be effective when students lack access to broadband and Wi-Fi, a quiet place to study, and supportive adults to help them with difficult assignments. A distinguished psychologist once said that we human beings are the “teaching species.” All species must learn enough to leave the nest, but humans turned teaching into a “calling,” a vocation dedicated to preparing the next generation

was going to drop out of college after my first year. I questioned why I was there.
Letters looming issues need real solutions, not lip service. We need to address the Island’s solid-waste crisis, illegal dumping and the associated increases in disposal costs. Hochul hasn’t been handed the reins of the state at our finest hour. New Yorkers suffer with an unsustainable tax burden that’s accelerating the exodus of high-net-worth people, employers and job creators. The growing disparity in income and wealth, an increasing immigrant population and the associated educational and health care challenges are monumental. And our young workforce and empty-nesters are leaving because of a lack of affordable housing. Leaders in the past have forsaken us in favor of book deals, their own selfish agendas and their next election. Indeed, some are in prison for their bad behavior, but the reality is, the good people of New York have been sold out, and that’s why we require Hochul’s earnest leadership. We have hope in her vision, fortitude and ability to make the really tough decisions. We’re counting on her. Most important, please know that we are here for you, governor. Long Island and the state of New York have immense resources, none greater than their residents. There will be vocal naysayers who attempt to stop Hochul from addressing these vexing challenges. There are people who talk a lot, and there are people who get stuff done. To Hochul, I say this:

Special features The op-ed, or opposite the editorial, page features a weekly Framework photo, which is chosen by our photo editor. The Framework offers a creative, at times humorous outlet for our photography staff. In this spot, we also publish photos sent to us by readers featuring them on vacation, reading the Herald at various international landmarks. We call it Herald Around the World. At times, a correction might appear on the op-ed page. We strive each week for the highest standards of accuracy and accountability. When we make mistakes in our reporting, we believe we must own up to them and correct the record.

Letters to the editor
WILL FLOWER Bayville
Cuomo should be impeached To the Editor: Re Robert Rosenberg’s column “History repeats itself in Albany — again and again” (Aug. 26-Sept. 1): I agree with Rosenberg’s opinions, and would add that former Gov. Andrew Cuomo would indeed get the last hurrah and make “the State Legislature and state government look like a ship of fools” if it gave him a free pass on the nursing home deaths scandal and his subsequent cooking of the books to make it appear less egregious than he would have had us believe. Interestingly, Gov. Kathy Hochul revealed immediately that these deaths were undercounted by some 12,000. By ordering nursing homes to accept Covid-19 patients, Cuomo, threatening owners with penalty if they did not comply, exposed many more confined elderly to the virus, potentially causing their deaths. With all due respect, I consider manslaughter to be an even more serious

to the nation. They believed that education should be public; is critical to democracy because it prepares an informed citizenry, able to ask questions; is important because it prevents aristocracy and promotes meritocracy; should be free from religion and ideology; should be equal and equally available to all citizens; and is a public investment that is worth the cost. While the ideals of the Founders foundered on the compromises made to create a republic, they nevertheless created within the Constitution the mechanisms for correcting early mistakes and providing the means for continuing the pursuit of a “more perfect union,” which we have shown the ability to do. As we help our kids and grandkids, or relatives or neighbors’ kids, prepare for a new school year, let us acknowledge the noble profession of teaching, perhaps by remembering our own teachers, and do what we can to fulfill the Founders’ aspirations for true equality of education in America.
Please be the latter. Be bold. We heard you say you’d “fight like hell for New York,” and that’s exactly what Long Island needs.

with knowledge, skills and values. As a result, teachers have a moral, social, civic and historical responsibility for not only educating each new generation but also, in this way, creating the future. We must remember the vocation, the calling, of teaching. As the historian Jacques Barzun said, “Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.” At the beginning of our nation, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson stated that public education was at the heart of democracy. “The whole people must take upon themselves the education of the whole people and be willing to bear the expenses of it,” Adams wrote. “There should not be a district of one mile square without a school in it, not founded by a charitable individual, but maintained at the public expense of the people themselves.” Jefferson expressed similar sentiments. It is unfortunate, therefore, that some local school boards see teachers simply as employees, instead of as those who inspire discovery and awaken students’ imaginations, as Mark Van Doren and Robert Frost said. But while the Founders argued that schooling was a local responsibility, they were adamant about the public benefits

Given the present state of affairs, it is now the State Legislature (and, ultimately, the State Senate) that is on trial, and it remains to be seen whether playing politics will take precedence over what must be done in the name of justice.

anyone trust Cuomo now? He contends that he will not seek future political office, but only impeachment would close the book on that possibility, definitively and conclusively.
We welcome readers’ letters to the editor and publish most that we receive. We believe these letters are critically important, because they reflect the shared voices of the communities that we cover. Letters should be 250 to 300 words in length. Each letter must include an address and phone number. Our editors call all letter writers to confirm the authenticity of letters before publication. We edit letters for length, grammar, spelling and foul language. We do not censor viewpoints. If we believe a letter requires major revisions, we will send it back to the writer and ask that he or she change it so that meaning and intent are not lost. Readers should send letters to the editors of their hometown newspapers. They can be sent by email (preferred), fax or mail. All contact information is listed on the masthead and on our website, liherald.com.
