Laura Gillen is a step closer to claiming the open U.S. House seat left vacant by Kathleen Rice. The former Hempstead town supervisor was projected to win the Democratic primary for the 4th Congressional District on Tuesday, with nearly 67 percent of the vote in early returns.
“Tonight, voters spoke loud and clear that they want a representative who will fight tooth and nail against GOP politicians in arebirthincludingdecisionsistheincest,tionswithoutabortionpass“whoRepublicansalsoingstatementGillenWashington,”saidinafollow-thewin.Shedecriedwanttoanationalbanexcep-torape,orevenifwoman’slifeindanger.”“Healthcare—basiccontrol—betweenawoman and her doctor, not by Washington politicians trying to score political points with their extremist base.”The 52-year-old Rockville Centre resident had been a favorite to win, endorsed by Rice as well as a number of major Democratic Party figures, including House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and House Democratic Caucus chair Hakeem Jeffries. She now faces Hempstead town councilman Anthony D’Esposito in the Nov. 8 general election. He ran unopposed on the Republican ticket. Gillen has stated that repealing restrictions to state and local tax deductions passed in 2017 is one of her immediate priorities. She also voiced support for universal background checks on gun purchases to help curb crime and violence, while calling for expanded voting rights. Early results showed Nassau County Legislator Carrié Solages in second with 16 percent of votes. Solages advocated for an aggressive foreign policy, tax incentives for small businesses, and expanding protections for women.Keith Corbett had 14 percent of the vote. The Malverne mayor called for expansions to reproductive and voting rights while touting his experience in village planning and infrastructure. Finally, physician Muzib Huq from Elmont captured a little more than 1 percent of the vote. He had campaigned on improving the American health care system, championing racial and religious tolerance, and investing in anemic local and national infrastructure.Whilethefourth district is forecasted to safely lean Democrat by some, other pollsters — like McLaughlin & Associates — say D’Esposito had the best chance of claiming the seat if Gillen was his opponent.

Michael Fischer, a 38-year-old veteran volunteer for the Island Park Fire Department, was often described as a guy who would do anything for anyone. He would always be there, whether it was at community events for his department or a barbecue with friends, Fischer, better known as Fish, would never miss out on the chance to share laughs and a good time.Even on his last day, Fischer was taking part in a community fundraiser for an Oceanside Fire Department commissioner and his infant son, who has a rare form of cancer.Fischer joined the Island Park F.D. in 2013, following in his grandfather’s and uncle’s footsteps. He had served as a captain from 2019 to 2020. Shortly after his death on Aug. 14, he was posthumously promoted to honorary chief, a decision made by Donny Cardineau, chief of the department.

Farber, now 70 and living in Maryland, attended the ‘counter graduation’ because it felt like “it was the right graduation.” Her parents had been appalled with the situation and thus Farber did not attend the real graduation that was scheduled for the following day. She also does not remember if she ever got her diploma, but she received her ‘counter diploma’ that was being handed out by Lowenstein at the ceremony in the movie theater and still has it to this day. As reunion chair, she was tasked with finding people from her class to attend the 50th reunion. After being postponed twice due to Covid-19, 185 people attended the reunion that happened this July. It was a three-day event, beginning with a dinner on July 22, the main function with music and dancing on Saturday and a ‘farewell’ brunch on Sun day morning. A notable moment for Farber was during Saturday night, when the DJ had played the song “War” by Edwin Starr. The OHS alums had ran to the dance floor to scream out the words, “War! What is it good for? Abso lutely nothing.” “It was like people became, in one night, 17 years old again. They were all screaming the words out. Every body got on the dance floor. Nobody was dancing with anyone in particular; the whole class was dancing together, and screaming out the words of songs,” said Farber.The Class of 1970’s legacy doesn’t end there, because now 52 years later, they made one more impact in Oceanside. For their reunion class gift, they raised over $14 thousand to go toward the Luis Alva rez fund, a scholarship that is given to children of Sept. 11 first responders. Alvarez was an Oceanside native and former New York Police Department detective who was cancer-stricken follow ing his Ground Zero rescue and recovery work.Additionally, a park in Oceanside was renamed in his honor in 2021. During the reunion, several people had made donations to the class gift, including one member who had made a check for $5 thousand and another who sent one in for $1 thousand. Majority of the funds had come in from the people who originally planned on making it and paid to go to the reunion but could no longer attend. In lieu of asking for a refund, they told Far ber to donate their money to the class gift.
Another member of the reunion com mittee, Wendy Cooper Seay, 70 and living in Virginia, was tasked with researching an organization for the class gift to be donated to. Upon her research, she found the Luis Alvarez scholarship fund, run by the First Responders Children’s Founda tion. It was founded in 2019 and sets aside $25,000 a year to be given to a child who has had a first responder Sept. 11 parent sickened by Ground Zero recovery work. This year, the college scholarship fund received its first ever outside funding due to the OHS Class of 1970. Seay said she was very touched by the story behind the fund and knew she had found the right fund for their class gift. Seay said this choice of organization was well backed by the members of the class. For one of the reasons behind the gener ous donation, she said “I think we have always been very much aware of the world beyond Oceanside and wanted to be involved in it.”
By TAYLOR NICIOLI Intern A t the height of the Vietnam War, most members of the Oceanside High School class of 1970 marched the school grounds in protest. They were stronger in numbers, as they were a record-breaking class of 806 students. While they didn’t agree on everything, they didn’t need to in order to stand out. Then, and now, over 50 years later, the class of 1970 has proven to be one of the most notable yet. It was June 20 of 1970 when more than 175 of the NewCongresstivecraticgram.”graduation“supplementaryBeachTheaterwaseredseniorsgraduatinghadgathatwhatoncetheLaurelinLongfortheirproTheirgraduationspeakerwasAllardLowenstein,aDemorepresentatotheU.S.fromYork,who was a passionate spokesman for anti-war and human rights. Originally, he was set to speak at the actual graduation, having won the privilege with a class vote of 386 to 204; however, members of the school board at the time had deemed him to be too political of a speaker, so instead, Low enstein spoke at a completely student-run alternative.“Thiswas one of the most famous, or you can say infamous, high school classes that ever graduated, in the fact that it got so much national publicity,” said Mindy Farber, OHS alum and reunion class chair, when recalling her own experience with her class and their ‘counter gradua tion’ that had been covered by many news outlets, including the New York Times. “And then the class grows up, becomes older and still has this fighting spirit to raise all of this money.”

The scholarship has been chosen to go to Kacey Pupo of Rockland County, whose dad, Christopher Pupo, had worked side by side with Alvarez as first responders. Maria Elefante, another member on the OHS class of 1970 reunion committee, is hoping to present the check to Alaine Alvarez, Luis’ widow, on behalf of the class in the next few weeks. The event is planned to be held at the Detective Luis G. Alvarez Park in Oceanside. Elefante, who has lived in Oceanside her whole life, knew the Alvarez family personally. “They’re good people. He went through a lot, and did a lot,” Elefante said. “We’re just so proud to be able to donate to his fel lowship. For the first responders, for the children, it’s all very special for us.”
“We’re just a well-trained team from our practices for our regular season,” Jake Dyer said. “That’s what made us pre pared and made us like a family and so close.”His teammate Jake Ganulin says though that the team wasn’t always so close but after taking a lesson from anoth er team, they learned the value of team work and camaraderie, which was anoth er key factor that helped them earn the win.“We played another tournament recently and everybody on our team were kind of separated and we weren’t the nic est to each other and it didn’t look like we were a team at all,” Ganulin said. “There was another team there and they were all in the dugout together talking and work ing together as a team and we took a les son from them, I think. In Myrtle Beach, we became very close and were interact ing with each other and giving each other high fives and hanging out in the hotel and I think that’s what brought us our motivation for winning the tournament and gave us excitement and motivation.” Adding to the excitement was the pres tige of the tournament.
The Long Island Storm is a travel team made up of players from Long Beach, Oceanside and Rockville Centre 13 years andTheolder.Ripken Baseball Experience was founded by former Baltimore Oriole great Cal Ripken Jr. and according to its web site, it “aims to provide ballplayers with an experience similar to what we had in the Big Leagues. In doing so, we can pro vide players, coaches, and families with the experiences and lifelong memories that will allow them to enjoy and play the game for as long as possible.”
One player, Jake Dyer’s, father Scott says that the team were the underdogs who were able to pull off a miraculous win.“They’ve been playing together for a while now but this tournament made them come together like a family almost,” Scott said. “So, it was a great accomplish ment for them-a team who nobody expect ed to win this thing.”

The team says that though they didn’t do any preparation specific to the tourna ment, their regular practice helped them secure the win.

Part of indoor attraction at Long Island Children’s Museum
HERALDPARKOCEANSIDE/ISLAND—202225,August

“The highlight was always the carou sel,” Blakeman said. “It brings back so many childhood memories.”
operational control of Nunley’s Carousel from Cradle of Avia tion on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard was a smooth one, said Suzanne LeBlanc, the children’s museum director. Fitting into the museum’s mission of connecting children to a lifetime of won der, imagination and exploration, the car ousel is an excellent exercise in analyzing options and exploring sensations as chil dren choose the perfect horse to ride on their magical adventure.
“The colors and lights and music and motion create an unforgettable multi-sen sory experience that will become part of the memories passed down through the generations,” LeBlanc said. Susan Harlin was one of the first peo ple in line last week to ride Nunley’s Car ousel once again. But it’s hardly her first time.“Oh, my goodness, I was probably about 10 — 57 years ago — the last time I rode the carousel,” she said. “I grew up in Roosevelt and we’d go to Nunley’s all the time. We’d lean out and get that golden ring so we could ride it again.” Harlin’s adult daughter, Elizabeth Bock, said seeing it reopening reminded her of her mother, and she decided to take her two children, Evelyn and Thomas, for a ride the whole family could enjoy. Even Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman has own fond memories of driv ing with the family to Nunley’s. He joined Harlin and others last week to celebrate its reopening with the children’s museum.
Nunley’s Carousel returns to awe next generation
“I was one of those kids that grew up at Nunley’s,” he said. “On a Sunday, if we were really good, me and my three sisters and brother would be treated to going to Nunley’s,”Backthen, the Baldwin attraction fea tured roller coasters, games and, of course, the carousel.
NuNley’s CAROusel Is a treasured memory for many in Nassau County and beyond, and is expected to continue influencing generations, now that it’s under operation by the Long Island Children’s Museum at Uniondale’s Museum Row.
ThIRd-geNeRATION CAROusel RIdeR Mary Friel, 2, from Malverne excitedly boarded the hand-carved horse alongside grandmother Maureen Clark.
lONg IslANd ChIldReN’s Museum president Suzanne LeBlanc addressed the eager children and adults alike waiting to ride the historic Nunley’s Carousel on its opening day on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard with Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman.
T hey were large mechanical carou sels, populated by gorgeous woodcarved representations of horses with strong and aggressive manes, open mouths and batwing saddles. Named after the Brooklyn landmark that inspired them — Coney Island — Sol omon Stein and Harry Goldstein shipped out a number of these carousels across New York more than a century ago. Few of them still exist, but one particu lar carousel that would start its journey in Brooklyn’s Canarsie neighborhood before moving to Baldwin in 1940, not only remains, but is now part of a permanent attraction at Long Island Children’s Muse um at Uniondale’s Museum Row. Nunley’s Carousel returned to service last week, and spins once again on select days — and indoors — for $4 a ride. It gets is moniker from Nunley’s Amusement Park, where it was a fixture on Sunrise Highway until that park’s closure in 1995. Relocating it to the children’s museum took years in the making, having been pre viously part of the Cradle of Aviation operations next door. The carousel contin ued the Long Island tradition until Covid19 flared up a couple years ago, and had been closed ever since. That is until last week, when the muse um officially re-opened Nunley’s Carousel, and its fleet of more than 40 horses, a lion and two chariots. It is now one of only three Stein & Goldstein-manufactured car ousels still intact, and in 2020, was award ed the National Carousel Association’s Historic Carousel Award. Gary Grasso represented that very association during the grand re-opening, finally able to bequeath the plaque for the award over to the children’s museum inperson. Established to promote, preserve and appreciate the classic wooden carou sel, Grasso said Nunley’s is one of 50 clas sic carousels still operating. And even more impressive with its original band’s organ, ticket booth, Wurlitzer calliope, and ringTransitioningmachine.

Saving the carousel was pushed by then-Nassau County Legislator Joseph Scannell, who redirected $420,000 through county funds and through money raised by nonprofit Pennies for Ponies in 2008. The restoration process started a year beforehand by Carousel Works in Ohio, that largest manufacturer of wooden mer ry-go-rounds in the world. It then opened in 2009, spending the next 11 years run Cradle of Aviation. While Nunley’s Carousel may have spent more time in Baldwin than any where else, Gary Farkash — president of the Baldwin Historical Society — says the ride was too big for just any one single community to claim. “It was more than just Baldwin iconic, this was something that people from all over Nassau County came to enjoy,” he said. “It’s a very proud moment for us, especially Baldwin. It was a labor of love, and having this day for us, is priceless. That’s the only thing I could say: Price less.”
The carousel is open from Thursday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets can be bought in advance online at the museum’s website at LICM.org/nunleys for $4. Take a spin

Back-to-school it’s a hectic time full of shopping, preparation and new routines. But just because children are headed back to school doesn’t mean that parents should stop teaching their children. And just because life is hectic doesn’t mean you can’t make time to improve their literacy skills.You may feel that there isn’t enough time to add more activities to an already packed 24 hours. But these ideas, courtesy of the of National Center for Family Literacy, take just a minute! Choose a letter of the day. Look for the chosen letter in any printed materials you see the newspaper, labels at the grocery store, street signs, billboards or advertise ments on TV. Make up a silly sentence using only words beginning with the letter of the day. (For example, cats can cuddle. Dogs don’t drive. Amy always acts awake.) Singing songs is certainly a literacy activity. Try this twist: Sing short songs like “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” several times, leaving off the last word each time until there are no words left. This activity always produces giggles from children and par ents alike. Do a letter search. While you’re wait ing for the bagel to toast, have your child look for the letter B on any items on your kitchen counter or table. Count as many as possible before the toaster pops. Play “Guess Who.” Describe a cartoon character, celebrity or historical figure. Allow a guess after each detail is disclosed. Expand your child’s vocabulary by using unusual words, and then explain their meaning. Take turns. Listen carefully to your child’s descriptions, especially his choice of vocabulary. Encourage him to paint a pic ture of the character with his words. At the end of the game, compliment him on any unusual or new words used. Do word-based activities while in the car. While stuck in traffic, describe the view from the car by taking “word turns.” The activity is as easy as the name suggests. Parent and child each add a word until the scene is described. (A… yellow… convert ible… with… a… golden… retriever… in… the… back… seat… is… next… to… our… car.) This activity works well on a walk around the block or while waiting in line too. Talk to your child about her day. Pretend to be a television reporter. Try questions like “what was the most surpris ing (curious, funny, eventful) thing that happened today?” Or gather news for the paper.“If your day’s activities were an article in the newspaper, what would the headline be?” You are giving your child opportuni ties to increase vocabulary, recall and reflect, and you are receiving a more detailed version of the time you spent apart. Be prepared to answer the same questions.

irl Scouts of Nassau County held their 2022 Gold Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, June 28, to award 53 young women who had earned the Gold Award, the highest honor a Girl Scout can achieve. Among those were Oceanside High School alums Allison Christel and Gabriella Prendergast. To achieve a gold award, Christel and Prender gast had to show their dedication to improving the community by implementing a plan that will work toward solving a civic or social issue.The Gold Award pro gram is designated for girls in grades 9 through 12 and is intended to help girls explore civic and social issues they are passionate about pursuing. The process of earning a Gold Award begins with a Girl Scout identifying a civic or social issue, drafting a plan to approach the issue and, lastly, partnering with volunteers or communi ty leaders to implement it. The plan implement ed needs to be sustainable and reach beyond the Girl Scout’s personal com munity.Christel’s Gold Award project, titled “Self-defense and Awareness Skills for Middle School Children,” trained middle school students in self-defense skills to help them avoid potentially dangerous situations. She had created a series of self-defense awareness videos, as well as leading virtual workshops to teach and dem onstrate these skills. Her videos can be accessed through her YouTube channel, and will continue to be referenced by par ticipants from her online workshops and sensei. Allison is an alumna of Oceanside High School and is study ing Film and Production at the Roch ester Institute of Technology.
STAFF REPORT G
For Prendergast’s Gold Award project, titled “Don’t Stress Out,” she had educated middle school and high school students about stress by creating a pre sentation that explained what stress is and included techniques to manage it. Oceanside High School plans on uti lizing her project to help other students identify and handle stress. The information she collected for her presen tation can be found on her website, and Oceans ide High School will con tinue to utilize Gabriel la’s project to help other students identify and handle stress. Gabriella is a recent graduate of Oceanside High School and will study nursing at Molloy University in the fall.“The recipients of this year’s Gold Awards have displayed diligence, compassion and altruism in approaching issues facing their communities,” said Ran dell Bynum, the chief executive offi cer of Girl Scouts of Nassau County.
“Their efforts have not gone unno ticed in their communities and their impacts will leave an imprint for years to come. I applaud them for addressing topics like social justice, mental health, the environment and more, while putting forth solutions to create a better world.”

ld Westbury Gardens’ lush grounds will once again fill with the sounds of bagpipers and Scottish revelry as it welcomes the Scottish Festival and Highland Games. The popular spectacle — now in its 60th year — returns from its pandemic-imposed hiatus on Saturday, Aug. 27. And that’s all to the delight of Clan MacDuff, which created and oversees the event.
petting zoo and plenty of kids activities, a British car parade, and Scottish cuisine to sample — it’s those traditional elements that continue to be the main attraction — especially the caber toss and pipe bands.

This clan considers its festival to be similar to a traditional gathering. “We wanted to emulate what was done in Scotland,” Burnside says. “So we started out in 1959 with what was essentially like a big familyFromreunion.”thathumble

“After all my barbecues, we were always like, ‘Hey, Fish, come get the cooler and bring it to the next party,’” Cardineau recalled. “So he would show up in his pick up truck, we would drag it out to his truck, and whatever was left in the cooler would go to the next house. We’d just go hang out with each other and have a lot of laughs. There were times you didn’t even have to ask him; he would just show up. He was always there.”
Former IPFD chief Anthony D’Esposito, now a Hempstead town coun cilman and a congressional candidate, who performed the promotion ceremony said, “On behalf of Chief Cardineau and the Island Park Fire Department and a grate ful Village of Island Park, we present this flag in honor of honorary Chief Michael Fischer for his service, dedication and love of community”.Cardineaumet Fischer when Fischer joined the department, and they quickly became close friends. Cardineau said he would remember Fischer for being a peo ple person — he knew everybody and everybody knew him, and, Cardineau said, he made friends wherever he went. The chief’s fondest memories of Fisch er are from Cardineau’s annual July Fourth barbecues. He invited the whole department, and members would hang out in his backyard until late into the night. Fischer was always there, Cardineau said, sharing a laugh with the other firefighters.
Former fire captain Michael Fischer is honored
Following a morning department train ing with young recruits on Aug. 14, Fischer had ridden on a company engine to a clameating fundraiser at Peter’s Clam Bar for Commissioner Michael Graham’s cancerstricken infant son Cooper. There he suffered an apparent heart attack. His fellow firefighters tried but failed to revive him. Fischer was the first Island Park fire fighter to die in the line of duty. Many attended his wake, at the Christopher T. Jordan Funeral Home on Long Beach Road, on Aug 17, and his funeral the follow ing morning at the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church. The church was packed, filled with family, friends and firefighters, in their dress blues. All week, flags were flown at half-staff at county facilities in Fischer’sCardineauhonor.remembers the last conver sation he and Fischer had at the event as good-humored, as they joked with each another. That’s how he will remember their friendship, Cardineau said, as one with many laughs. He added that on his last day, Fischer was at a community event, surrounded by his friends — or his extended family. Cardineau explained that firefighters consider the firehouse to be one big “He’sfamily.going to be very missed at all the department functions, or even at personal parties with our friends,” Cardineau said. “It will never be the same.” Fischer was born and raised in Island Park. He graduated from West Hempstead High School and attended Nassau Commu nity College. He had also worked for the County Department of Public Works. At his funeral, County Executive Bruce Blakeman said that the manner in which he died was reflective of the life he lived. “At the time of his death, he was attending a fundraiser for a young boy who had can cer,” Blakeman said, “and that was indica tive of the type of person he was: always giving of himself for the betterment of the community and the people who live in Island Park and Nassau County. So we’re here to pay respect to a firefighter and humanitarian.”IslandPark Mayor Michael McGinty described what a gut-wrenching loss to the community Fischer’s death is. “Honorary Chief Fischer was a fine example of a vol unteer firefighter: always willing to give of himself and show by example of how it should be done,” McGinty said. “He is truly missed by this community, and by the firefighters who served with him. May he always rest in peace.”
Joe Abate/Herald Island Park fIrefIghters offer a final salute to their fallen comrade.
Fischer is survived by two sisters, Tiffa ny Fischer and Allison George. He was predeceased by his parents, Michael and Patricia Fischer. He was buried alongside his parents at Greenfield Cemetery in Westbury.

In addition, the insulation should be inspected to see that it isn’t compressed by the saturation weight of the water, since compressing insulation, contrary to what you were told, actually takes away the ability for it to work properly. The principle behind insulation technology isn’t just the use of thermally resistant material but, most critically, the insulation forms tiny air pockets within the material that form the resistance to air passing through. Each trapped air bubble slows the transfer of cold or heat by first conducting or resisting the temperature change within the air molecules.
A. When it rains, it pours. The leaking was a wakeup call that A.C. unit condensation occurs every summer season, and even though you have a drain pan, if it doesn’t have a working sensor to shut off before the drain pan overflows and you never clean the drain pan pipe to the outdoors, the water overflows. You should, by law (code), have a floor in the attic around the unit, also, which can dry out, since it remains structural, and will be minimally affected by the water.
The
waterproblemscauses
Q. Our attic air conditioning leaked into our ceil ing. The ceiling is so wet we need to replace it. We now understand we’ll need to have the pipe that drains water out of our A.C. drain pan blown out every spring, and now have a service contract for that. The insulation is also wet. We were told to let it dry out and it will be fine. Is this true? Also, the ceil ing joists over our 12-foot-wide master bedroom are only 2 x 6, which might cause the ceiling to sag and isn’t enough for the insulation, we’re told, which we understand has to be 10 inches thick. When we asked our contractor about this, he told us we can push the insulation down and then replace the plywood floor in our attic. What do you think?
Heat moves by one of three mechanical princi ples, convection, conduction and radiation. If the air bubbles or pockets in the insulation are pressed closer together and the material made denser by this, the conduction or transfer of temperature is easier, so the insulation has less likelihood of resisting, and resisting is what you want insulation to do. It would be great to rebuild the floor with deeper joists or have closed-cell foam sprayed in, since it also resists water saturation to solve the problem. Good luck!
The insulation and the sheetrock are another story. If the sheetrock hasn’t loosened and isn’t sag ging, then it can just be left to dry out. Make cer tain, even using a moisture meter, that the sheet rock is completely dry before repainting to avoid potential mildew and discoloration. The insulation, if it is either fiberglass or closed-cell foam, can be dried out also, but only if it can be exposed. This means removing the plywood flooring above so that air can get to the insulation.

An article by Emily Tate in the March issue of Mother Jones magazine outlined the expanding number of teachers hold ing second jobs. The reporter interviewed 30 people, all of whom worked in such gigs as bartenders, delivery ser vices, tutoring, Lyft or Uber drivers, retail clerks and real estate agents. Many of those interviewed found their work interesting and challenging, but admitted that having to work after hours and nights detracted from their mission to be pre pared for classroom chal lenges. Some observers would say that there’s noth ing wrong with teachers looking to supplement their income, but others would say that teach ers shouldn’t be forced to grade papers at 2 a.m.Many years ago I was asked to repre sent a Long Island school board in its negotiations with the district teachers union.While some current-day negotiation tactics may have changed, the discussions I had soured me on doing such work in the future. The school board asked for an extra 30 minutes a day to help students who were falling behind and needed extra help. In addition, it proposed that the start ing salaries for entry-level teachers be boosted by 10 percent. Those requests were rebuffed, and the only salary discus sion was about how much to pay teachers with 10 or more years of service. Unable to find teachers, a number of school boards in Indiana and Ohio recent ly advertised that they would accept any one with a college degree to teach in their schools. The deeper you dive into the national teacher crisis, the more you learn about why high school graduates are turn ing their backs on studying education in college and one of the most important jobs in our society, and why experienced teach ers are retiring in large numbers. America has its priorities messed up when it comes to the teaching profession. A young baseball player called up to the major leagues makes hundreds of thou sands of dollars, and may be further rich ly rewarded with bonuses and long-term contracts. Is it asking too much to pay new teachers a decent wage? I don’t think so, but apparently many governments around the country have failed not only the teach ing profession, but children as well.

eing a college trustee for 30 years, I have kept a close eye on trends in the field of higher edu cation. I’m happy to see that many of our institutions are introducing new courses that reflect the changes that are happening.

If you follow the news, you’ll learn that the state of Florida needs 8,000 teachers, but no one is rushing to work in the Sunshine State. The politicians, not the colleges, caused Florida’s dilemma. Florida has passed multiple laws govern ing what can be taught in the classroom, and numerous school boards are asking residents which books they want removed from library shelves. Those conditions alone would discourage a teacher or any student thinking about getting an educa tionFearingdegree.for their personal safety, teach ers and education students are also shun ning states such as Texas. Since the recent tragedy in Uvalde, in which 19 students and two teachers were killed, some state officials have been suggesting that schoolteachers bring a gun to class. Why would a col lege-bound student consider teaching as a profession if they had to take firearm training to qualify for a job? In addition, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is in the process of suggesting revisions to the schoolPerhapscurriculum.thebiggest disin centive for potential new teachers is salary levels around the coun try. If you live in New York, Massachu setts, California or Alaska, starting sala ries are attractive enough for possible can didates. But Missouri, as an example, has an average starting salary of $33,200, and the legislature has failed to appropriate any fresh dollars to increase it. Because salaries in some 14 states are so low, teach ers are forced to take second jobs in order to survive. A National Education Associa tion 2021 survey found that the national average for entry-level teacher pay is $41,000, and experienced teachers on aver age earn $64,000.

No one in that snapshot is still stand ing but me. The Number Three School is now a yeshiva, Mrs. Haggerty presumably is in teacher heaven, and 1957 is now 2022. I was the new kid in class.

I didn’t die, but that’s only a technicali ty. This all comes back to me as we begin the new school year after over two years of home schooling, Zoom classes and dys functional education amid the coronavi rus pandemic. Our kids and grandkids are survivors of a massively destabilizing sea son of social distancing and quarantining and mask wearing. Parents, too, have gone through their own version of hell. Therefore, two things are going on at the same time. On one level, nothing has changed, and on every other level, every thing has changed. I asked my grandkids how they’re feeling about going back to school, the pluses and the minuses, and they all said the same thing. They’re looking forward to seeing other kids, and they’re worried about doing well after this disruptive hiatus.In1957 that was what I wanted, too. I wanted the kids to like me, and I hoped to find some friends. So are we all good? The schools will open, the children will get to see one another, and learning will take place. But that is only if we ignore the rip ple effects of these years of deprivation and isolation. Look around. Smell the air. Feel the vibe. Check in with your stress-o-meter. This back-to-school year is different from other years. In the same way that the pan demic changed our way of living for over two years, it will change our path forward, too.Like most other Americans, I am so relieved that our kids and grandkids are going back to the classroom, in person, with real teachers for a full day. But nor malcy is a relative thing. There are children suffering from school anxiety. We have a mental health crisis among our teenagers. For good rea son, children are afraid of getting sick, getting shot, or failing at their schoolwork. Some friends report that their elementary school grandkids don’t want to go back to school. Their bed room has become their safe place.We need parents and teachers to be monitoring the re-entry process. And parents, too, need support and the comfort of realizing they have survived an unprecedented national and global catastrophe. Parents haven’t ever had to home-school and work from home while trying to stay alive. We are returning to school at a time when ad hoc groups in communities across America are deciding what books school libraries can purchase. They are banning material they deem unsuitable, with references to gender or sexuality or race. Many teachers are demoralized by this random oversight, and we need to pay attention to the political tides in our schoolWho’sdistricts.goingto pay for all the school supplies and technology that is now part of public education? In 1957, my black and white composition book cost 20 cents. Today the average family spends $800 or more per child on back-to-school shop ping. Amazon is selling the composition book for $11.99. How will individual schools navigate this nearly post-pandemic time? There are the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and then there’s real life. We don’t know yet how treatment of Covid surges will be handled. During their isolation and down time, our kids have become increasingly con nected to their phones. Many mental health professionals see this as an addic tion, and the connection to social media as an impediment to interpersonal commu nication and relationships. How will schools deal with the phone issue? The devices have become a kind of secondary umbilical cord during the school day. We need to take a step back and let our children resume the level of personal responsibility they had before the restric tions of the pandemic. They can do it, and we can, too. We cheer our kids as they return to the classroom. We are mindful that they have been through something, and that they carry more than books in their backpacks.

W e don’t know much about him, except that he was 61 years old and he had visited a live animal market in Wuhan, China. But his death was the first of nearly 6.5 million worldwide who would die from complications of what would come to be known as Covid-19. And just 10 days later, on Jan. 21, 2020, the first confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States would be found in Washington state. We are just months away from Covid’s third anniversary, and while the pandemic itself has changed so much of what we call “normal,” it does feel like life is ever so slowly returning to what it was before the ball dropped in Times Square on Jan. 1, 2020.Social distancing is gone. Masks, while still seen — and even worn — are nowhere near as prominent as they once were. And getting the sniffles doesn’t evoke the same kind of panic it once did. If we look hard enough, there are still signs of those troubling times around us: worn stickers on floors of businesses call ing for six feet of separation. Signs on shop entrances requiring face coverings. And even the occasional Covid-19 mobile testing site on the street. Hospitals aren’t overwhelmed. The death toll is no longer prevalent. And far more of us are vaccinated against the virus than those who aren’t. There are many who say the coronavi rus is now an endemic rather than a pan demic, meaning it’s here, we’ll see season al surges and maybe even some variations, but it’s not the threat it once was. Yet those variants remain unpredictable, and it’s not clear whether current vaccination levels will stave off future mass hospitalizations andAnddeath.yes, people are still dying from the virus, at a clip of more than 600 per day in the United States, according to some esti mates. That’s one person every two min utes.But how scared should we be? What numbers should we pay attention to? And what should we do if we fear exposure to the virus, or develop symptoms that close ly resemble Covid-19? First and foremost, we must stop focus ing on who is getting the virus, and how many, but instead on what impact it’s hav ing on hospitals and mortality. Those num bers were important before there was a vaccine, but not today, when a vast majori ty of those inoculated recover with no major complications, or even the need to visit a hospital. The virus and its many variants will continue to infect people, just as the flu does, and even the common cold. Yes, Covid-19 remains far deadlier than either of those ailments — and thus more serious — but for those of us not working in public health, spending so much time tracking every case accomplishes very little, except to raise anxiety. If you find out you were in the same room as someone who tested positive, you can’t ignore it. But you don’t need to rush to quarantine, either. The Centers for Dis ease Control and Prevention recommends continuing with your life as normal. Just wear a mask for the next 10 days while indoors, or while in close proximity to oth ers.If you start showing symptoms, get test ed right away. If you don’t, wait at least fiveIfdays.youdo test positive, only then should you isolate. And then just for five days, as long as your fever breaks before the start of the fourth day without the help of medi cation, and your other symptoms are improving. Still, even if you can end isola tion, you should still wear a mask through the 10th Whileday.it’s nice to focus on other things in life — and in the news — rather than the coronavirus, we can’t forget about it.
Additionally, would the plan involve destroying sections of the Southern State’s forests and grassy medians — among the South Shore’s few uninter rupted green spaces — to make way for the HOTs?

Covid-19 is still here, so what does that mean?
More than a dozen people are dying of the disease in New York each day, on average, and even if you survive, there are still a number of other complications that can be outright debilitating long after you recover from the initial infection, like long Covid. And many people we interact with are considered “vulnerable,” meaning they may not be able to fight the virus like the rest of us. So wear a mask when you’re around someone who might be more at risk. Wear one in large groups, especially indoors. And if someone starts showing symptoms, know exactly how you can help stop the spread without disrupting your life.Each day brings us closer to our normal lives, so long as we don’t forget what upended all of them in the first place.
To the ThankEditor:you for Kyle Chin’s “Could toll lanes fix parkway’s ‘Blood Alley’?” (Aug. 11-17). This story reports on a critical local issue that readers should be aware of. The Long Island Contractors Association and State Assembly woman Michaelle Solages, a Demo crat and the Assembly’s deputy majority leader, are promoting a plan to add High Occupancy Toll lanes to the Southern State Parkway, ostensibly to reduce the number of accidents and deaths on the thor oughfare. The proposal does not explain precisely how the addition of HOTs would do so, though, except perhaps for those traveling in the lanes, which would be open only to single-occupancy drivers who could afford the tolls or those in high-occu pancy vehicles (carpoolers). Among the greatest causes of accidents on the SSP are excessive speed and drunken driving. How would HOTs reduce either?
I, like most of us who have gone through a lot of schooling, have had the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to teachers. I’ve had teachers who phone it in, and those whose every word I’ve hung onto, savored and quoted throughout my life. To be so naive as to think that all you need is a mentor (and I am sure veterans have lots of spare time) to be able to man age a classroom and teach a subject that you don’t know is sheer idiocy. I have seen “professionals” practice outside their scope of expertise more times than I would like to. I know that there are other types of therapists who believe that all you need is a box of Cray olas and you’re good to go. One of the problems with being ignorant is that you don’t have the knowledge or insight to know that you’re ignorant. But that being said, Randi did make a very valid point. With an uneducated con stituency, Florida’s governor Ron DeSan tis has a better chance of being re-elected. As, my son, a police officer, would say, “felony stupidity.” And unlike Covid, there is still no cure for stupid. Keep on calling it as you see it, Randi.

focus off the issue that may decide wheth er I will stays in office after November: crime.The headlines are unrelenting. Almost daily we hear of repeat felons being let loose thanks to legislation that essentially scrapped the ability of judges to hold dan gerous repeat felons behind bars until their trials. The painful impact on our communities is incalculable. Still, there is another metric that tells you something about the impact that legislation has had on those who have taken a solemn oath to protect our Accordingsociety.topublished reports, more than 1,500 New York City police officers have either resigned or retired so far this year. If this trend continues, it may well be the biggest loss of officers since these kinds of statis tics began to be recorded by the department. Some 524 police officers had resigned, and 1,072 had retired as of the beginning of the sum mer — a 38 percent increase over the same period last year. We should be more than frightened, because these law enforcement pro fessionals see the true nature of the threat on every patrol, and they have decided that our society isn’t prepared to back them up. There are serious questions we need to ask our public officials this Election Day. We could ask State Senate Majority Lead er Andrea Stewart-Cousins. She led the crusade to dismantle the bail laws, and her progressive agenda remains unchanged as police blotters are filled with repeat felons attacking law-abiding citizens.Ifasked, police officers handing in their badges will say they are done with the job because of anti-cop hostility that is a central philosophy of the progressives, and the obviously destructive nature of “bail reform” to the very idea of law enforcement.Thiscrisis isn’t just a New York City problem. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman has issued a report stating that more than 87 percent of criminal suspects arrested in Nassau County in April and June were released back on the streets without bail. This number includes 282 who were facing violent assaultStandingcharges.with Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder, Blakeman revealed that in the second quarter of 2022, 2,641 of 3,019 people arrested — 87.5 percent — were released without bail. Some 282 of them faced assault charges, and 103 were arrested on weapons char gers. And then there’s the defendant some have described as a poster child of this cri sis.

Another seasoned politician, New York City mayor Eric Adams, has actually joined Republican lawmakers in demand ing that the State Legislature address the crisis. Not surprisingly, the progressivedominated Legislature declined Adams’s call for an emergency session. He told reporters, “We’re not talking about some one that steals an apple. We’re talking about someone that has repeatedly used violence in our city: robberies, grand lar cenies, burglaries, shootings, carrying a gun.”Hochul will not be alone on the ballot this November.
