Trial begins in 2019 murder of Oceanside teen

By KARINA KoVAC kkovac@liherald.com

Opening statements in Nas sau County Supreme Court on Oct. 13 reviewed in detail the Oceanside encounter three years ago in which Tyler Flach, of Lido Beach, is accused of stabbing 16-year-old Oceanside High School student Khaseen Morris to death. Flach, 21, who has pleaded not guilty to sec ond-degree murder, first-degree gang assault, misdemeanor assault and weapon charges, faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted. Others involved

were charged with seconddegree gang assault.

The first witness called at the trial was Keyanna Morris, Khaseen’s 33-year-old sister, who spoke through the tears about her brother. “It is literal ly heart-wrenching to sit in there with the person who mur dered my brother,” she told reporters later, adding of Flach, “He’s a monster, and monsters deserve to stay behind those bars.”

Prosecutors contend that Flach is guilty of Morris’s mur der on Sept. 16, 2019, having Continued on page 7

At Mount Sinai, breast cancer survivors share their stories

By KARINA KoVAC kkovac@liherald.com

Both Susan Blaize-Sampeur and Geri Barish got that dreaded phone call from their doctors: The diagnosis was breast cancer. It happened to Blaize-Sampeur last year, and no fewer than three times for Barish, first in 1985 and most recently in 2015. Both shared their testimonies of hope and recovery at Mount Sinai South Nassau on Oct. 13, accompanied by the doctors who led the way to healing.

Blaize-Sampeur remembers the day she was diagnosed. Late last September, when she saw her doctor for her regular mam

mogram, she wasn’t told the usual, “You’re good to go till next year.” Instead, the doctor said she needed to come back for a biopsy, which she did, and then went back home to Lynbrook.

“The waiting period is always stressful, and two weeks later, on Oct. 11, I got that dreadful call that I had breast cancer,” BlaizeSampeur recounted. “The doctor did assure me that he felt that I’d be OK, because it was small.”

After a quick surgery at Mount Sinai, the mass was gone.

“The journey from the begin ning to the end was amazing,” she said. “The doctors here at Mount Sinai, they’re so wonder ful — the care I received, it was

just amazing. The care of Mount Sinai, and my daughter, who stood by me every step of the way,” were what made the differ ence, Blaize-Sampeur said.

Breast cancer is more com mon in Black women under age 45 than white women, and over all, Black women are more likely to die of the disease. Blaize-Sam peur benefited from early detec tion and regular checkups. “If I procrastinated and waited another year or two,” she said, her voice filled with emotion as she looked at her daughter, Franchesca, “I don’t know if I would even be sitting here.”

Franchesca, who was part of the discussion panel in addition

to two doctors, her mother and Barish, stressed the importance of members of the Black com munity supporting, educating and advocate for one another.

“It’s also something that impacts the people around that individu al — their friends, their family, the communities that they’re a part of,” she said.

And with places like Mount

Sinai, whose Center for Women’s Imaging is offering free breast cancer screenings through Oct. 23, Franchesca urged women to make the most of such opportu nities. “With programs that are available through places like Mount Sinai,” she said, “… I encourage people in all commu nities, but especially those that

School 4 students conduct experiment on waste

After researching how Oceanside processes its solid waste, fourth grade students in School #4’s Project Extra class set up a fair experiment to determine how or if vari ous types of waste break down in landfills. A fair experiment is one where only one variable at a time is changed.

Under the guidance of teacher Kellie Manning, the students took observation notes and measurements to document the process. They created a simulated landfill by covering the sides of a twoliter bottle with a light-elimi nating shield, such as a paper bag or other opaque item. This kept any extra light from getting into the simulat ed landfill and only allow light to hit the surface as the sun naturally would. Stu dents then chose different packaging materials to place in the simulated land fill including paper, cardboard, plastics, aluminum foil, styrofoam, and biodegrad able plastic.

Students next alternatively layered dirt with pieces of trash. They took height measurements of each layer to

keep them consistent before adding pieces of the packaging material. Students made predictions on which materials would break down the fastest and if they would break down at all. The students are now in the process of taking observations overtime to see the landfills progress.

Francis X. Hegarty second graders recently enjoyed having their science class in the school’s outdoor classroom. While in the designated outdoor learning space, the students were tasked with exploring the outdoor classroom looking for examples of what is living and non-liv ing.

The outdoor classroom is designed especially for the young learners and con tains garden beds, a section with wooden cutouts that can be used for counting and wooden stumps for seating to create a for est setting for the students.

School 5 project sends books to Ethiopia

School #5’s Class of 2022 Project Extra sixth graders donated 16 hardcover editions of I Am Love by author Peter Reynolds and illustra tor Susan Verde to the Limb Kind Foundation to deliver to children in Ethiopia.

The funds for the books came from the class of 2022’s national finalist prize winnings from the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow com petition. The students, who have since moved up to Oceanside Mid dle School, chose the donation to pay it forward and ordered the books late last spring.

The Limb Kind Foundation is an Oceanside based non-profit that pro vides prosthetic care to children in need in the United States and sever al developing countries. School #5 and Project Extra have had a long association with the foundation and its founder, Robert Schulman.

Project Extra has also partnered with Reynolds and Verde in the past. Together the author and illus trator have produced several bestselling books in the I Am... series.

Oceanside FD receives Firematic Award

The Oceanside Fire Depart ment was awarded with the Town of Hempstead 2022 Fire matic Award on Oct. 2, for their efforts in saving a woman whose arm was trapped inside heavy machinery at her cookie factory on New Street. The machine, a cookie maker con veyor belt that flips the cookies over, was impaling her entire arm with sharp hooks when the arm got stuck inside.

Ed Scharberg, the Oceanside Fire Department Information Officer, said “one of our chiefs put a screwdriver in there to stop the belt from moving, and our truck company was there who has specialized tools.” After stopping the belt from moving, Oceanside first responders quickly used an angle grinder to finally free the woman’s arm. Once free, she was transported to Mount Sinai South Nassau for further treat ment of injuries.

The Town of Hempstead annual Firematic Awards is a tradition to honor outstanding volunteer firefighters all throughout the township.

Webinar series explores health, wealth, self

By MALLORY WILSON mwilson@liherald.com

“Are you going deaf?”

As annoying as they might be, those four words could very well be signs of hearing loss. And it’s not a bad idea to get it checked out.

Protecting your hearing is exactly what those who tuned in to the recent AARP Long Island webinar series found out, thanks to the expertise of Dr. Lawrence Cardano and Dr. Esther Fogel.

“Out of all the health problems known to the United States, hearing loss is the third-most common health problem amongst adults,” Fogel told those attend ing the recent webinar from Herald Inside LI. That makes hearing loss “even more common than diabetes or some other health problems.”

Nearly 30 percent of adults older than 65 have some degree of hearing loss, the audiologist said, and as many as half of adults older than 75 have hearing loss to some degree.

The free webinar was part of the Octo ber series “Health+Wealth+Self,” which concludes Thursday, Oct. 20 with a focus on protecting older Americans from cyber crime.

Sponsored by AARP Long Island, Ber nard Macias — it’s associate state director — stressed the importance of AARP empowering people older than 50.

“We strengthen communities,” Macias

said. “We advocate for what matters most, with a special focus on health, security, financial stability and personal fulfillment. So, if you’re going to remember anything about AARP, remember we’re all about health, wealth and self.”

Fogel is from Comprehensive Audiolo gy in Lynbrook, while Cardano sees patients at the Hearing Center of Long Island in Valley Stream. Both say getting

your hearing checked out can improve your quality of life. And there are signs anyone can look for when it comes to hear ing loss. Like if people around you seem like they’re mumbling, or you find your self asking people to repeat themselves.

Other signs include struggling to under stand people talking in noisy locations, missing words or phrases on the tele phone, or even hearing ringing, buzzing,

hissing sounds in your ears.

“There are a lot of things that can con tribute to hearing loss and put you more at risk for hearing loss,” Cardano said. “Any thing that affects your health, overall, can affect your hearing.”

Common risks, Cardano mentioned, include high blood pressure, obesity, inac tivity, high cholesterol, smoking and diabe tes.

Hearing loss can have even larger impli cations, the doctors said — like dementia.

“In order for the brain to function prop erly, it needs to receive all the sensory input from our surroundings,” Fogel said. “So, when we’re not hearing all the sounds that we should, the brain is not receiving all the signals that it should be hearing. And that can lead to cognitive decline.”

Don’t panic if you think your hearing might be diminishing, however. There are steps you can take to protect your hearing, such as having your hearing tested, limit ing your exposure to loud noises, eating healthy, and exercising.

And, if you are diagnosed with hearing loss, Cardano stressed, treat it early.

“All the research is telling us that if you have any hearing loss — even a mild hear ing loss — the easiest way to preserve your hearing clarity is to have it treated and have properly fitted and maintained hear ing aids,” Cardano said.

LAWReNce cARDANO and Esther Fogel from Comprehensive Audiology in Lynbrook, joined Herald Inside LI recently for October’s ‘Health+Wealth+Self’ webinar series with Bernard Macias, the associate state director for AARP Long Island, and Michael Hinman, executive editor of Herald Community Newspapers.

Three years after teen’s murder, trial begins

conTinued From

intentionally killed him by stabbing him three times during an after-school brawl involving at least a dozen teens in an Oceanside strip mall.

Defense attorney Edward Sapone said that although Flach had been hold ing a knife in his hand when he punched Morris during the brawl, he did not intend to kill him. His client, Flach, was reckless, Sapone said, but Morris’s death was not intentional.

“One punch goes awry and tragically pierces the heart,” he told the jury.

County Prosecutor Daryl Levy detailed a different version of the inci dent to the jury, saying that the shirt less, knife-wielding Flach charged across the strip mall parking lot with other Long Beach teens and viciously attacked Morris and his outnumbered friends.

What was supposed to be a one-onone fight — between Morris and a Long Beach teen who became enraged when another teen sent him a video of Morris walking with his ex-girlfriend — turned into a deadly gang attack, Levy said. “He takes that knife and he thrusts it,” he told the court. “He thrusts it a sec ond time, and he thrusts it again.”

Levy told the jurors that they were going to see exactly what happened when they viewed video that purported ly shows Flach thrusting the knife into Morris’s chest. “You are going to see what happened that day,” Levy said, “You are going to see this defendant stab Khaseen Morris in the chest.”

Police say the fight started over Ste fany Bedoya, a girl who became friends with Morris just days before he was killed. Bedoya testified that her ex-boy friend, a friend of Flach’s, was angry about the friendship and wanted to fight the 16-year-old. Sapone said that Flach knew Bedoya only through social media, and didn’t have any personal problems with Morris.

The defense and prosecution dis agreed on Morris’s exact cause of death and how many times he was stabbed. Sapone told the jury that Flach stabbed Morris once, not three times, and indi cated that Morris died eight hours later, of injuries to his heart caused by later medical intervention. Morris’s T-shirt, Sapone said, had just one hole in it.

Nassau County Police Officer Steven Pineman, police medic Joseph Dasaro and Oceanside Fire District paramedic Jose Piniero also testified about that

day, and about their efforts to keep Morris alive at the scene and on the way to the hospital.

Dasaro’s testimony support ed Sapone’s claim that there was only one stab wound, when he testified about a drawing he had made for doctors that showed just one injury, on the top left side of Morris’s chest. “I was looking at his face and upper chest,” Dasaro said, add ing that other first responders were more focused on lower torso.

Three other defendants who previously pleaded guilty in the case are serving one-year sen tences in the Nassau County Correctional Center, and are due to be released in December. Those defendants, Marquis Ste phens Jr., 21, Javonte Neals, 21, and Sean Merritt, 20, admitted when pleading guilty to gang assault that they caused serious physical injury. Charges remain pending against another defen dant, Hakim Mechan, 22. Testi mony in the trial is set to resume on Friday.

Nassau County Police Department Tyler Flach, 21, faces 25 years to life in pris on if convicted of charges including seconddegree murder and first-degree gang assault.

Oceanside ready for playoffs

By BRiaN KaChaRaBa sports@liherald.com

The Oceanside girls’ soccer team could be a tough out in the Nassau Class AA playoffs thanks to a strong finish to the regular season and having its top players get hot at just the right time.

The Sailors won three of their last four games and four of six to finish the AA-1 campaign, culminating with a 5-1 win at Plain view last Friday night. Oceanside exploded for a season-high four first-half goals and never looked back to finish with a 6-6 mark in conference play.

The stretch followed back-to-back shutout losses about a month ago and the team went 2-1 on the three-game road trip that closed the season.

“They’re putting it together real nicely,” coach Marianna Win chester said. “I wish they would play their first half the way they stepped up the second half.”

Against Plainview, Gianna Fucile converted an early penalty shot before assisting on Leigh Zaman’s first of two goals that dou bled the lead with 8:38 left in the first half. The pair then helped set up Lindsay Chetkof’s second tally of the season before sopho more Daniella Cairo notched her first career varsity goal to cap the onslaught.

Oceanside’s first-round playoff opponent had yet to be decided at press time, but the most likely candidates are Port Washington, Farmingdale and Plainview. The Sailors swept the season series from Port with a pair of two-goal victories but split their two meetings with the Dalers and Hawks.

“Whether it’s Farmingdale, Plainview, or whoever it may be, we’re the underdogs because everybody coming in is saying, ‘They’re beatable,’” Winchester said. “It’s anybody’s game.”

Fucile had a strong finish to her senior season with four goals and seven points during her season-ending six-game point streak. She led the team in all offensive categories (5-8-13).

Winchester credits her for stepping up in the absence of senior midfielder Megan Checola, who suffered a knee injury against Herricks on Oct. 6.

“She felt like she had to take command of everything, like she’s in charge and we’re not going to let Megan down,” Win chester said.

Checola is practicing, but questionable for the playoff opener, according to Winchester.

Sophomore Samantha Gemmo continued to flash her potential by collecting three goals and two assists during that same span. She scored in three straight matches from Sept. 29-Oct. 8, includ ing the game’s only tally that lifted Oceanside to the 1-0 win over Herricks.

“She’s stepped up as far as being up top and being a goal scorer for me,” Winchester said.

Zaman returned to the lineup after missing almost a month with a quad injury and gave the offense an immediate boost with two two-goal games in the last three contests to tie Fucile’s season total.

Survivors stress importance of early testing

are highly impacted, like the Black com munity, to take advantage of those resources.”

Blaize-Sampeur told her daughter that her advice for fighting cancer, based on her experience, would be to get regular checkups. “I would say early detection is so important,” she said, “because had I not gone in … every year to have my mammogram, I would have been one of

the statistics I’m sure that would have ended up with Stage 4 (cancer).”

An old hand with cancer

Barish’s cancer journey was quite dif ferent. Starting in the 1980s and with her most recent diagnosis in 2015, she has seen medical technology advance and more awareness of environmental fac tors. “When we started in the late ’80s, no

one knew anything about genetics — no one even talked about it,” she said. “Here on Long Island, we wanted to study … breast cancer because we were the only state that had the most open waste sites in any one place in any one state.”

Barish, who is president of the Hewlett House and the 1 in 9 Long Island Breast Cancer Action Coalition, has been fight ing and educating for over 40 years. “We started from scratch,” she said. “We knew nothing about the power plants from Con necticut and Long Island and the plumes that came across. We knew nothing about pesticides and chemicals in the ingredi ents, but we learned, and we taught peo ple.” But she added, “Even though we’ve come so far, we need to do more outreach. We need to get our families involved.”

Now, women who go to a doctor to get tested deal with the lingering fear of the coronavirus pandemic. Barish, saddened by the fact that women are not getting tested as much as usual, said we’ve gone back “into the Dark Ages,” with women seeking answers on the internet rather than from their doctors, which she warned about. “The only one you should be consulting is your doctor,” Barish said.

In her own experience, she has seen “people who come in, and they talk about their family members, and they’re afraid to go to the doctor,” she said. “They’re afraid to go with a screening therapy, to go for mammography, because they’re

afraid to walk into a hospital or go into a doctor’s office. These are things we can do. We have the facilities and technology; we can take care of that.”

Above all, Barish said, “You can’t let fear take over you. Look at your kids’ faces. Look at yourself in the mirror and go, ‘Am I going to sit home and wait until it’s too late?’ I am a very proud patient of this hospital and the doctors here. That’s why I’m still sitting here.”

Dr. Mindy Scheer, a diagnostic radiolo gist and Mount Sinai’s director of diag nostic breast imaging, told of how tech nology can now create a “more personal ized plan” to treat each patient.

“Because many patients have different risk factors, we recommend they start early mammography at the age of 40 and come in every single year,” Scheer said.

“That changes if the patient’s intermedi ate or high risk, as high-risk patients have a strong family history, have genetic pre dispositions. With this genetic testing, we’ve become more aware of many more genes now that put them at high risk, and some patients have a personal history and need to come in more often.”

Dr. Dhvani Thakker, the hospital’s director of women’s medical oncology, said that knowing your genetics and fami ly history can be lifesaving. “About 5 to 10 percent is genetics,” she said, “but then remember the other 90 percent is lifestyle changes.”

Breast cancer facts from mount Sinai

■ One in eight women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer.

■ A woman’s risk nearly doubles if she has a close relative who has been diag nosed.

■ Eighty-five percent of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history.

■ The National Cancer Institute has pre

dicted that over the next 10 years, nearly 10,000 breast and colorectal cancer deaths will result because of coronavirus pandemic-related delays in screening.

■ In women under age 45, breast cancer is more common in Black women than white women, and overall, Black women are more likely to die of the disease.

A noteworthy milestone

South Shore Symphony celebrates an expressive 40 years

By Karen Bloom

rom their roots in the Five Towns back in 1983, the Rockville Centrebased South Shore Symphony has grown and flourished as a regional orchestra that commands attention. For much of that time — since 1991 — principal cellist Wayne Lipton, the orchestra’s president, has been instrumental in guiding the many phases of its

growth.

“We started to really blossom, added more musicians, when the Rockville Centre Guild for the Arts took us under their umbrella” in 1991, Lipton recalls. And he and his group have never looked back. The orchestra — which performed at South Side Middle School until its move to the then newly-opened Madison Theatre on the Molloy University campus in 2011 — soon become known for their fascinating, challenging repertoire.

“We put everything into it,” Lipton says. “We attracted more musicians and a larger audience. Soon soloists were added into the mix of the all-volunteer orchestra. We kept adding new things.”

conductor Scott Jackson Wiley.

“Wiley is extraordinary,” Lipton says. “He’s done a wonderful job teaching us and moving us forward. His dedication and commitment to the highest musical standards has led us to deliver consistently powerful and moving performances of some of the greatest symphonic works. It takes a special person to commit to an orchestra for that span, and he’s truly deserving of recognition.”

As he will be on Nov. 12, when the orchestra celebrates their beloved conductor’s 25th season with a special concert in his honor. Fen Hsin returns as featured soloist to perform Brahms Violin Concerto. The program also includes ‘Brahms Variations on a Theme” by Haydn and Brahms Symphony No. 4.

Pink Talking Fish

The fusion supergroup has enthralled audience with their special blend of Pink Floyd, Talking Heads and Phish since their inception some 10 years ago. What began as a lark for the four jam band musicians has turned into something much more. The band — with Eric Gould on bass, Richard James on keyboards, Zack Burwick on drums, and Cal Kehoe on guitar — has garnered a major following for their inventive combination of tunes from the namesake bands that inspired PTF. Although the music from each act is different, PTF has discovered that fusing the material together creates what the band describes as an ‘amazing story.’

That included collaborating with the local dance company, Leggz Ltd. Dance, performing outdoors each summer in Rockville Centre, and concerts at St. Agnes Cathedral.

The real turning point occurred with the construction of the Madison Theatre.

“We were ecstatic to be offered a real home,” Lipton enthuses.

The feeling is mutual.

“The Madison Theatre is proud to partner with the South Shore Symphony,” says artistic director Angelo Fraboni. “We feature them in a variety of shows throughout the year. They’re always consistently excellent.”

“We were ecstatic to be offered a real home,” Lipton enthuses. The feeling is mutual. partner artistic throughout

“These are all pieces chosen by Scott as a statement of his classical background,” Wiley says. “It’s a strong classic repertoire. As an accessible Romantic composer with a big sound, Brahms is (a) tremendous showpiece for Ming. The Symphony is a tough one, a nice challenge for the orchestra, as is Variations on Hayden.”

Blazin’ pumpkins

While the orchestra may have “South Shore” in its name, Lipton is quick to point out that this is a group of dedicated, highly skilled musicians representative of all of Long Island.

Also theatre

This relationship has challenged and opened up new ventures for the orchestra. Its members now perform in opera and musical productions. Also Broadwaystyle revues, which include the University’s CAP21 theatre arts students. And, of course, Leggz Ltd Dance’s holiday confection “The Nutcracker,” among their many versatile performances.

“We’ve had an opportunity to play with some amazing people,” Lipton says, including Keith Emerson, Neil Sedaka and Jimmy Webb.

“It’s a very special group,” he says.

That “special group” has committed to a special season. One of “the most ambitious yet,” according to Wiley.

Fraboni

“Marriage

Collaboration with Fraboni has blossomed into highly-praised full productions of operatic standards such as “Carmen,” “Marriage of Figaro,” “La Bohème,” “Tosca” and “Madame Butterfly.” A sustained cooperation with musical director Michael Bower and the Cathedral of Saint Agnes has led to memorable performances of major choral works such as Mahler’s Second and Third Symphonies, Beethoven’s Choral Symphony and many others, as well as most of the major concertos for organ and orchestra.

Final stretch of LIRR’s $2.5B ‘third track’ done

By JUAN LASSO jlasso@liherald.com

It’s finally completed. The Long Island Rail Road line connecting New York City with Nassau County’s governmental seat and other points east now has a third track. And that could mean not only more trains along a nearly 10-stretch between Floral Park and Hicksville, but added ben efits to neighboring lines and traffic.

The Third Track Project, completed Oct. 3, is the latest addition to the LIRR’s rail network, giving the Metropolitan Transportation Authority the ability to carry more trains on the track, as well as better flexibility moving trains in both directions during peak hours.

For commuters, this could mean fewer service disruptions and delays along the busy line that connects to Ronkonkoma, Huntington, Port Jefferson, Hempstead and Oyster Bay, meaning potentially fewer riders on those lines passengers might choose as alternatives. For those choosing to drive, it eliminates grade-crossing at seven different intersections, meaning fewer delays whenever trains roll through.

Gov. Kathy Hochul celebrated the com pletion of the third rail alongside MTA executives at a garage next to the LIRR’s Westbury station.

“The completion of the historic third track project connects commuters with a more resilient and flexible railroad with frequent service, modern stations, ADA

accessibility, and more travel opportuni ties for Long Islanders and visitors,” said Hochul of the $2.5 billion construction project that finished $100 million under budget.

The project kicked off in 2019 after decades of battles over how such a track would be constructed. Many living around the affected areas — along with the local officials who represented them — bristled at the idea of having the new set of rails potentially cut through private property.

The current design began in 2016 under the backing of Hochul’s predecessor, Andrew Cuomo. This time, the plan didn’t involve taking residential property while adding other infrastructural perks includ ing landscape improvement, retaining walls, parking garages, improvements to rail bridges, and the removal of eight street-level grade crossings.

The plan also refurbished stations in Mineola, New Hyde Park, Carle Place, Merillon Avenue and Westbury.

The project was carried out in three phases with the first leg of track through New Hyde Park and Merillon Avenue fin ishing last August. The second stretch of track to Mineola completed weeks later, with the last section crossing the finish line at Hicksville.

There is still, however, minor station work left to complete.

Catherine Rinaldi, LIRR’s interim pres ident, says the rail system expansion couldn’t come at a better time as the new

Manhattan East Side terminal Grand Cen tral Madison — a heavyweight project in itself — comes into operation in the com ing weeks.

“When combined with the new termi nal at Grand Central Madison and the newly renovated LIRR concourse at Penn Station, LIRR customers will have more frequent service, upgraded stations with a host of modern amenities, and easier reverse peak trips,” Rinaldi said.

GOv. KAthy hOchUL joined Metropolitan Transportation Authority chief executive Janno Lieber to announce the completion of the Long Island Rail Road’s 9.8-mile piece of track stretching from Floral Park to Hicksville that is expected to allow more trains, and ease congestion.

The third track’s ability will allow the two-way flow of trains on the mainline during the railroad’s busiest hours.

This, MTA chief executive Janno Lieber said, will be “a huge boon for Long Island businesses, since it will increase access to the region’s talent pool by enabling not only a 40 percent overall increase in LIRR service, but a huge uptick in reverse peak train frequency.

“It’s a win-win-win.”

An architect fora sunroom?

Q. I’m buying a sunroom for my breakfast room on the back of my split-level house, about 8 feet off the ground. I’m being told by the contractor that I need an architect and sealed plans. Since it’s basically a kit of parts that will go on my existing deck, why do I need this? It seems like a lot of extra expense the sunroom people didn’t tell me about. If I already have a permit for the deck, it should be allowed, right? I haven’t bought the sunroom yet. I’m just trying to be sure I know the whole story before I do this, probably by spring, when the weather is better for construction. Any advice would be helpful.

A. Do things once, the best way. A deck isn’t hab itable, but a sunroom is, and a permit is required. Plans have to show struc tural support, energy and building code compliance. Rain, moisture and ice are your primary concerns.

You need the whole story without the sales part. Just like any pur chase, issues you might not expect are still impor tant, like finding out what kind of oil to add to your snow blower before the engine seizes or that windows without factory tint ing can allow ultra-violet sunlight rays to fade your carpet. As an architect for a largely popular sun room manufacturer in the 1980s and ’90s, I experi enced many issues with their construction.

Pre-engineered panel systems are designed by the company, hopefully by engineers, and should come with plans, from the manufacturer, that can be sealed and signed by their in-house engineer. If not, plans may need to be drawn from scratch by an architect or engineer that you hire so those plans can be integrated with your house. Integrated means that the company generally just sells you a product and doesn’t necessarily give any indication of how to support the unit or how to attach the unit system to your house so that it won’t leak or move.

This is the general failing of the system, since, as I experienced with most of the installations, the part I could detail was free of leaking or movement, but the units themselves leaked nearly every time. We could detail how the edges of the unit could be sealed and redundantly weather-stripped and flashed, but the frames around the glass and wall edges would unseal and leak. I even met with the corporate president/owner and identified the spe cific problems. Promises to correct leak issues were made but not kept, and eventually I gave up.

I looked at a two-year-old system while discuss ing other work for a home recently. The owner described the back-and-forth misery he and his family were experiencing with their sunroom and the company. Even 25 years after I gave up, the same company is still doing things the same way. You need a detail-oriented architect and installer, even if you think you don’t. The cost of doing things twice is much greater. Good luck.

opinions

We bumped a meteor off course, so is the danger over?

one of the most popular movies about the apocalyptic notion of a giant meteor striking Earth and destroying civilization was “Deep Impact,” a 1998 disaster film in which a high school student and a scien tist discover that a huge rock from outer space is headed right toward our world.

A space crew is sent to destroy it with nuclear weapons, but succeeds only in blasting it in half, and winds up sacrificing their lives to destroy the larger half with their remaining bombs, saving Earth and its inhabitants.

JAMEs BERnsTEin

In the real world, of course, nothing so dramat ic has ever hap pened. But on Sept. 26, NASA successfully gave an asteroid a punch in the nose, knocking it off course. The asteroid posed no threat to Earth. NASA just wanted to test its capability to send an unmanned spacecraft, in a mission called DART, for Double Asteroid Redirection Test, to

make contact with a rock in space and set it off course.

Just in case the real thing ever hap pens, and we are faced with the possibility of extinction from beyond.

The asteroid Dimorphos was about 7 million miles from Earth. DART was launched last November, tasked with fly ing out to the asteroid, which has a diameter of about 560 feet, and crashing into it at about 14,000 miles per hour. The purpose of the test was to see if DART’s impact could push Dimor phos a bit off its orbit.

It worked. The test suc ceeded beyond NASA’s expectations.

“For the first time ever, humanity has changed the orbit of a plan etary body,” Lori Glaze, director of NASA’s Planetary Science Division, said in a statement after the test.

NASA administrator Bill Nelson added, “This mission shows that NASA is trying to be ready for whatever the uni verse throws at us. “NASA has proven we are serious as a defender of the planet.”

And there is no question the planet

needs defense. In December 2019, Con gress established the U.S. Space Force, the newest branch of the armed forces in 73 years. The members of Congress believed the defense of space was a national secu rity imperative, not only because of the possibility of hostile missile attacks, but also the chances of the planet being struck by a massive space boulder.

We now have the capabil ity to see deeper into space than ever before, with the launch in 2021 of the James Webb Space Telescope, which conducts infrared astronomy. The Webb is the largest optical telescope in space, and its high resolu tion and sensitivity give it the ability to see objects too old, distant or faint to be detected by the older Hubble Space Telescope, which was launched in 1990.

While NASA is to be congratulated for its success with DART, we here on Earth should not become complacent that all such dangers from space objects can be handled so easily. No one is talking about Armageddon from space, and the notion of a manned space vehicle smashing into

a meteor remains the stuff of Hollywood. But some experts are cautiously hopeful that NASA and the Space Force continue to seek ways of looking out for dangerous objects out there. The sooner they are seen, the better our chances of destroying them.

“We do now track a majority of the larger ones,” said Andy Parton, president of the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Gar den City. “We have the capability of using bigger space vehicles than DART” to do battle with meteors. “But we must also remember this was a small test, and just a test at that.”

No one should forget the 66-foot Chely abinsk meteor that exploded in the atmo sphere over the southern Ural region of Russia in 2013, causing a bright flash and a hot cloud of dust and gas. The meteor entered Earth’s atmosphere undetected because its radiant, or source direction, was close to the sun. The blast caused extensive ground damage, and about 1,000 people sought medical attention.

As Parton said, “Somebody should always be watching.”

America’s mayhem is playing on the world stage

‘The whole world is watching. The whole world is watching.”

If you know American his tory, or you remember it, “The whole world is watching!” is the unforget table chant shouted by thousands of young Vietnam War protesters as they were tear-gassed and beaten with clubs by the Chicago police during the 1968 Demo cratic National Convention that August.

The weekend before the convention, some 2,000 young people gathered in Chi cago’s Grant Park to protest. By the time the convention began, the crowd had swelled to 10,000. The police came to break up the protest, and they were brutal.

ised a nation of voters freaked out by the demonstrations that he would impose law and order. He won. Six years later, about to be impeached, he resigned in disgrace. The North Vietnamese had driven Ameri ca out of their country.

Department of Justice and Congress try to hold Trump accountable for alleged crimes.

RAnDi KREiss

A quick recount: The stodgy Vice Presi dent Hubert Hum phrey was about to be named the Democrats’ presi dential candidate, to run against Republican Rich ard Nixon.

The back ground: President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated five years earlier. His younger brother, Bobby, running against Humphrey for the Democratic nomina tion, had been assassinated two months before the Chicago convention. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated in April, four months earlier. I was 21, and I remember the despair of losing the leaders who inspired us to find our best selves. They championed civil rights, opposed the Vietnam War, and then they were gone. Shot and killed.

The fallout: According to the Guardian newspaper, “After four days and nights of violence, 668 people had been arrested, 425 demon strators were treated at tem porary medical facilities, 200 were treated on the spot, 400 given first aid for tear gas exposure and 110 went to hospital. A total of 192 police officers were injured

“… Images of police fir ing teargas and beating demonstrators with their nightsticks played on network television news. It looked like an oppressive fascist state and offered a view of a nation appar ently tearing itself apart.”

The kids never stopped shouting, “The whole world is watching,” even as police tore into them. It has been said that the extensive media coverage of the violence, beamed into American homes, helped propel a reckoning over the savage police overreaction. It seems that reckoning is still playing out in our politics and in our communities, 54 years later.

In the ’68 presidential election, Nixon appealed to a “silent majority.” He prom

The echoes: Last week, as I watched the Jan. 6 commit tee hearing, I thought about how vital the media has been in investigating and reporting the alleged crimes committed by our 45th pres ident and his enablers. Without an intense commit ment by reporters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, we would not know what hap pened that day. This time the protesters carried the weapons, and erected a por table gallows. This time the protesters wanted to overthrow a righ teous election. These American citizens storming the Capitol were attacking the police.

The videos taken inside the Capitol’s hiding place during the insurrection reveal the chaos and the fright of the moment, with legally elected members of Congress fearing for their lives not far from a crowd gone berserk. As we go to press, we hear promises of further vio lence from Trump supporters who refuse to accept the peaceful transfer of power, the holy grail of our democracy. Various groups threaten ongoing disorder if the

The lines connecting 1968 and 2022 are unsettling. For me, the connection is my gut. It feels all wrong all over again. Kids were on the march then, demanding peace. Extremists today are threatening war. We lived then, and we live now, in a time of civil unrest.

After ’68, we edged into a relatively calmer passage of political life. But then along came Trump, who found common ground with a segment of angry and vio lent Americans. The new twist in the MAGA community, and from Trump him self, is the increasingly overt racism and antisemitism. What was never OK to say is slowly becoming OK in certain radical groups. The swastika and the Nazi salute are useful again, on the fringe.

In 1968 we were deeply hurt and disil lusioned by the successive assassinations of our leaders. We dreamt of peace and equality. As young idealists, we couldn’t bear that this was how our dreams would die.

Today, the dynamic is more toxic. The protesters are the ones with weapons. Their dream is absolute power. Their leader has debased the office of the presi dency and he just won’t go.

We are suspended in time, and the whole world is watching.

Thank a crossing guard near you

they work outside in rain, sleet and snow, keeping our most precious commodity — our children — safe.

School crossing guards are unsung heroes. Underappreciated — and sometimes ignored by motorists — they put their lives on the line every day. And they are at constant risk of injury or even death caused by drivers who disregard them.

How does a crossing guard get hit? Maybe someone is late getting some where. Or they have others in the car dis tracting them. Or maybe they’re simply impatient. The reasons matter little when the outcome is devastating.

Most people would say they’ve never heard of a crossing guard getting hurt on the job. But that’s what happened two weeks ago in Glen Cove, when a guard, attempting to stop traffic to allow chil dren to cross a street near an elementary school, was hit by an SUV.

He remains in critical condition. And he’s not alone.

It’s difficult to find statistics on how many crossing guards are injured on the job each year, because most data focuses more on the children and pedestrians they protect. But one of the most common causes of injury, according to the New York State School Boards Association, is being hit by vehicles’ side mirrors. And those can be significant injuries.

Crossing guards have been killed — even on Long Island. One in Hempstead died in 2016 when he was hit by a truck.

And there were two separate incidents in California last year when crossing guards were struck by SUVs and died.

A child was hit, too, in one of the Cali fornia tragedies, but survived. In the other, the crossing guard pushed a group of children away from the pathway of an oncoming vehicle.

In February, a crossing guard in Mary land was struck by an SUV and killed after pushing a child out of the way.

All of these guards were nothing less than heroes. But why does this even hap pen? Are people on their cellphones, talk ing or texting? Are they changing the channel on their car radio? Arguing with another passenger? How are they so dis tracted that they fail to see a human being wearing reflective clothing in the middle of the street with an arm outstretched, directing them to stop?

It remains unclear why the 82-year-old Bayville driver hit the Glen Cove crossing guard on Oct. 6. He remained at the scene after the accident, and he had yet to be charged criminally this week, as police continued to investigate.

It isn’t hard to become a crossing guard. In Nassau County, anyone who’s at least 18 and doesn’t have a criminal record can apply. No experience is required. But as one police officer said, a crossing guard needs to be someone who likes children.

A city police department, like Glen Cove, handles the hiring. In the villages, it’s the purview of the Nassau County

Now they’re booing Aaron Judge?

To the Editor:

Subject: on booing the Yankees’ Aaron Judge after his 62-home-run, MVP season. Yankees (and too many other sports) fans are rude, crude, cruel and ignorant fairweather friends, booing a player they pro fess to like, admire, respect and even “love” — as if he strikes out on purpose.

Players don’t make errors, drop passes, miss shots or throw interceptions on pur pose. Do these same “fans” boo their own Little Leaguers when they strike out?

Music lovers don’t boo the conductor if he drops his baton; nor do they boo the violinist if she drops her bow.

Grow up, fans, or stay home and boo to your hearts’ content in your own living rooms, where the objects of your unde served anger will not have to hear you.

In some parts of the country, school crossing guards receive health insurance, but not in Nassau County. Their working schedule is 90 minutes in the morning and again in the afternoon, when chil dren are on their way to, and then dis missed from, school. The unusual hours set this job apart from typical part-time work, and it’s hard to hold down another job at the same time.

Police say that while many guards are retirees, college students also take on the work. They take the job seriously, no mat ter their background.

Crossing guards obviously are impor tant — our schoolchildren need to be kept safe — and there is a shortage. Where they are needed but not available, police officers, or members of the auxiliary police, take their place.

Guards do more than help children safely cross the street. They remind driv ers of the presence of pedestrians, and just as important, they help children develop the skills to cross streets safely on their own in the future.

So the next time you see a school cross ing guard, give them a wave of gratitude — after you stop, without anger or impa tience, reminding yourself that you’ll get where you need to go eventually. That extra minute or two can save the lives of not only our children, but also the heroes standing in the middle of the street each weekday morning and afternoon, doing their utmost to keep those kids safe.

Of course 2024 will be on this year’s ballot

In case you haven’t heard, there is an election on Nov. 8. Most elections are about the current candidates, who are seeking a variety of offices all over America. This one, however, will be the equivalent of two elections, because its results may determine whether the 2024 election will be the end of democracy as we know it. Some of you may think this is overdramat ic, but there are good reasons to view this one as a political twofer.

tions will decide whether democracy lives or dies in 2024. As of now, there are almost 300 Republican candidates nation wide who maintain that Joe Biden was never legitimately elected president. They believe the lie about the stolen 2020 elec tion, but there is much more happening that we should all worry about.

Many of us New Yorkers are oblivious to what is taking place all over the country. One sage veteran of the partisan wars once told me that “America begins west of the Hudson River.” Nothing could be more accurate. Our local contests for Congress are dominated by such issues as abortion, inflation and crime, with scant mention of stolen elections and threats to the Con stitution, even though a few of the Repub lican candidates are election deniers or members of the Trump cult.

But if you lived in Michigan or Arizo na, you would understand why their elec

There are two positions in a state that have the power to throw out a public vote. One is governor, and the other is secretary of state. There are a number of Republicans running for governor who also deny Biden’s election. They have publicly stated that if elect ed they will “fix” the system by taking power away from local election boards. Doug Mastriano, the GOP candidate for governor of Pennsyl vania, has pledged flat out that if former President Donald Trump runs again and loses Pennsylvania, Mastriano will reverse the final results.

It is widely accepted that most of the incumbent secretaries of state around the country are independent and fair-minded. Not one of them has challenged the 2020 results, and they have staunchly defended their process from partisan attacks. But sadly, many of them have either retired,

Vote ‘yes’ for clean water, clean air and green jobs

To the Editor:

For 20 years, the North Shore Land Alliance has worked to pro tect nearly 1,300 acres of natural areas. The primary reason we pro tect land is to safeguard drinking water. Long Island’s sole-source aquifer requires pervious surfaces (like fields and forests) for rain and snow to seep through the ground to recharge our drinking water source. But a study by the Rauch Foundation found that nearly 70 percent of Nassau Coun ty’s surface is impervious (pave ment and buildings). We need open space to protect our ground and surface water.

On Nov. 8, New York state vot ers will have an opportunity to vote on Proposition 1, the Clean Water, Clean Air, and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act. This

historic legislation would protect open space, safeguard clean drink ing water, and update our aging water and sewer infrastructure while supporting nearly 100,000 good jobs.

In our community, we have 8,000-plus acres of natural areas left to protect. With passage of the Bond Act, we would have access to critical funding to conserve land in perpetuity and maintain our quality of life. Plus, with the wors ening effects of climate change, protecting open spaces, replenish ing our aquifers, and restoring bays and harbors is more impor tant than ever.

I hope 2022 will be the year that we truly value our natural resources and take urgently need ed action to protect our environ ment. On Election Day, please flip your ballot and vote “yes” on Prop 1. Let’s act now to ensure a healthy future for those who come after us.

Another factor that bodes ill for America is the quality of the roster of Republicans running for the U.S. Senate. It is hard to imagine that Georgia’s Her schel Walker could be sit ting in a body that once boasted the likes of Everett Dirksen, Lyndon Johnson and Pat Moynihan. Can you envision Sen. Mitch McCon nell walking over to Senator Walker and saying, “Her schel, how do you feel about nuclear disarmament?”

Walker’s race, in which he has his par ty’s full support, is about power, and not about electing qualified candidates.

The platforms of a number of Republi cans in key races around the country are scary. Many, such as Mastriano, pledge to restore “Christian values” to governing. He has used veiled antisemitic themes against Josh Shapiro, his opponent. U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republi can, states that the church should be run ning the government. Blake Masters, a

The use of crime as an issue by Repub licans around the country is more than just a statement about criminals. It is a return to the dominant theme of the 1988 presidential election, when the party ran an ad campaign featuring a photo of con victed murderer Willie Horton that helped Vice President George H.W. Bush defeat the Democratic nominee, Michael Dukakis, who was portrayed as soft on crime. And in many Republican cam paigns, there are frequent references to billionaire George Soros, a major Demo cratic contributor, his very name serving as antisemitic code words.

Some political observers say that the tone of the Republican campaigns is just what a normal campaign should be like. But if the candidates who promise to over turn election results win and remake the fabric of our nation, the 2024 election will have been decided two years in advance.
