The Southeast Nassau Guid ance Center in Seaford, a non profit organization dedicated to treating mental health issues and fighting substance abuse addiction for almost 65 years, recently sponsored a film to help spread its message. The film, “Scattering CJ,” scheduled to premiere on PBS on Sept. 15, follows the story of a mother, Hallie Twomey, and her family healing from the tragic suicide of her 20-year-old son,“TheCJ. family had not been wholly aware of CJ’s suicidal thoughts, which is very typical of this kind of sad story and makes it even harder to cope,” said Brian Baldwin, a clinical social worker at Southeast Nas sau. “This tragedy sent the fam ily into unrelenting grief and guilt.”Twomey thought of scatter ing CJ’s ashes all around the world and making a film about it to raise awareness for mental health. She worked on it with filmmaker Andrea Kalin of Spark Media, who is the daugh ter-in-law of Milton Kalin, the executive director of Southeast Nassau.“Wesaw an opportunity to help tell a story that may hit very close to home,” Baldwin said. “A normal family is sud denly struck by this awful thing caused by mental illness.” Baldwin added that the Twomeys were not even from Long Island, but that did not matter to the guidance center.

“They could be a family from anywhere,” he said. “The people that have responded to this film are all over the world. People from seven continents accepted CJ’s ashes being scat tered there, and wrote back to Hallie and her family.”
Seaford native Jesse Kinch is quite familiar with beating the odds — he did it by becom ing a successful rock musician and he has conquered an even greater challenge by overcom ing a brain tumor. Kinch, who learned to play the acoustic guitar as a boy and expanded his musical talents to bass, drums, keyboards, and singing as well, has played in various clubs all over the city and Long Island. That was before he was picked up by a casting director for the televi sion show, “Rising Star.” “They found my cover of the song, ‘I Put A Spell on You,’” Kinch said. “And they wanted me to audition for the show with that song.” Kinch ended up winning “Rising Star” in what would be the show’s only run. His career took off from there, touring all over the country and writing an album called “I’m Not Like Everybody Else,” which, according to Kinch, cracked the top 10 charts in the United Kingdom.Then,in January 2021, trag edy struck when Kinch sudden Continued on page 4

“The pandemic was transformative,” he said. “As we begin to emerge from Covid, in what is a transformed view of the world and synagogue life, it’s about rebuilding in a way that makes sense for what it means to be a member of a syna gogue, and the Jewish community, in the wake of the 21st century.”
The process was facilitated by the Joint Placement Commission of The Rab binical Assembly — synagogues can share a job posting when they’re looking for a rabbi, and rabbis can then decide to apply to Tiegelpositions.hasbeen part of the MJC for close to 20 years, and said he had the plea sure of working with Klein in his tenure. Klein arrived at the synagogue in 1978 with a young family, ready to foster a con nection with the synagogue’s many, young congregants. Now, Tiegel said, there is again, an influx of young, Jewish families settling in Merrick and Bellmore. “In a sense,” Tiegel explained, “we wanted to go back to the future.” Tiegel said Dorsch recognized the “enormous progress and ongoing poten tial of the congregation” due to his “youthful spirit” and “soul of a person with greater life experiences.”

Our families can hang out, and our kids can play, but we also have someone to turn to. People just real ly want to build connections and hold onto Jewish tradition and culture.”

Rabbi Klein, who still remains active in synagogue life, said the continuity of the Merrick Jewish Centre, which opened in 1929, is an anomaly. “When you look at the recent history of the Jewish community of Long Island, there is sadly, a really high number of synagogues that have closed or merged,” Klein said. “The Merrick Jewish Centre has managed to remain a robust, dynam ic, forward-looking synagogue.” His hope, Klein said, is that Dorsch can take what has been created and build upon“Asit.long as the history of the Merrick Jewish Centre is,” he said, “it’s remark able that we’re talking about a history yet to beDorschwritten.”said he’s ready to work with his congregants in a post-Covid world, to help them redefine what it means to be part of an active synagogue.
Dorsch first visited the MJC a weekend in December.“Itwaslove at first sight,” Tiegel said. “Not only from Rabbi Dorsch to the con gregation, but from the congregation to him.”Dorsch now lives in Merrick, with his wife, sons Nadav, 5, and Avi, 5-months, and daughter Ziva, 2.

After the Merrick Jewish Centre bid farewell to Rabbi Charles A. Klein last October, its religious leader of 43 years, the position for a new rabbi at the Centre had yet to be filled. Since Klein’s departure, the congrega tion was served by an interim rabbi, as it worked through a transition period, wait ing until the time was finally right to name a new leader. Joshua Dorsch began his new role at the synagogue on July 15 and brings with him a spirited personali ty and a young family, that is ready to find their roots in Merrick.Dorsch, 36, Collegethedegrees,undergraduatereceiveddegreehe’dalmostyears,saidPhiladelphia,ofinhiscollegehewascertainpursueainlaw.HetwoonefromAlbertA.ListofJewish Studies, and the other from Columbia University. He applied to both law and rabbinical schools for post-graduate stud ies.“It was a really difficult decision between the two, because growing up in all my formative years, I was very active in leadership roles, in both national and international youth groups, and I went to Jewish summer camp, and I loved it,” Dorsch said. The deciding factor for Dorsch to pur sue rabbinical studies, instead of law, came down to one thing: money. “That’s not what I wanted my life to be about,” he said. “At the end of the day, I went to rab binical school. And I’ll tell you — to a cer tain extent I do feel like I went to law school — I just work for a different set of rules.”Dorsch pursued rabbinical studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. He also has two master’s degrees — one in Jewish education, and another in Midrash and scriptural inter pretation. The process to become a rabbi takes about 5 or 6 years. After his schooling concluded, he began his first position at the Beth El Synagogue Center in New Rochelle, where he met his wife, Stephanie. Dorsch said if there was ever a time in their lives do something “crazy,” it would be before they had children. Five years ago, they decided to completely change the pace of their lives, and move to San Diego, with their 4-week-old son, where Dorsch became the rabbi at the Tifereth Israel Synagogue.“Itwasvery unknown, very unfamiliar territory for us, and we loved it,” he said. “But three kids, and a pandemic later, we decided it was time to come back home.” After resigning from his position in San Diego, Dorsch said he and Stephanie took time to figure out what was next for their family. The opening at the Merrick Jewish Centre, he said, was both exciting andHowardintriguing.Tiegel, the president of the Merrick Jewish Centre, said the process to choose a successor to Rabbi Emeritus Klein was a lengthy one, and hit many set backs due to Covid-19.

His energy slowly returned as he came off of chemotherapy, and he got his band back together. During his time on “Rising Star,” Kinch befriended Josh Groban, who was the host of the show. Following his recovery, Kinch got in touch with Groban, who had sent him a Gibson Les Paul guitar as a 28th birthday gift. Groban offered Kinch the chance to make his first return to music opening for him at Jones Beach in July. Kinch took him up on this offer, and performed an original song called, “How Do I Reach You (The Last Veil)” with Groban’s band. He also shared his emotional story of surviv al with the audience. Born in Bethpage in 1994, Kinch moved to Seaford at the age of 10, and even though he continued to attend Beth page schools, Kinch grew up living in Sea ford.“Living here since I was 10, I can defi nitely say I just had a really simple, beau tiful, and great childhood,” Kinch said. Kinch said that he discovered an old acoustic guitar in his basement when his family lived in Bethpage, and immediate ly gravitated towards it, being able to play by ear at only 6 years old. His father, Rick, immediately recognized his son’s talent and bought him CDs of classic rock art ists. Classic rock musicians served as Kinch’s primary inspiration, although he also listened to opera singers Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman to enhance his“Whensinging.I’m singing a hard rock song, you’re hearing my classic rock influenc es,” Kinch said. “When I’m singing a soft er song, you’re hearing my influences from Bocelli and Brightman.” He showcased his musical skills at numerous talent shows at the schools in Bethpage, but his parents refused to let the schools be his only stage. “My parents made calls to clubs in New York City,” Kinch said. “They had me singing and playing with professionals when I was still in school.”Oneof those professional musicians was legendary bassist Randy Coven. According to Kinch, there are too many people to thank for his recovery from a brain tumor, singling out his par ents, Rick and Adrienne, and his brother, Rick Jr., as well as his entire health team at NYU Langone. “It’s important when you have a diag nosis like this, to have amazing family and friends who support and love you,” Kinch said. “But I also want to thank the thousands of fans from all over the world who wrote loving messages.

Kepherd Daniel/Herald PEtER CougHLIN joINED his wife, Dorothea, along with their dog, Harrison, to help raise money through Veolia to help pair other veterans with service dogs.
“You have to live it to understand it,” Dorothea said.
“This guy (Harrison) brings my husband over Sunrise Highway, over Merrick Road, goes down to the marina to the barber shop, and brings him home. Each time the dogs are trained, more intensely, they’re sharper and sharper. This guy is unbelievable.”
An inaugural fundraiser to help pair service dogs with veterans recently was held for an evening of fun and food at Mulcahy’s Pub and Concert Hall in Wantagh. Veolia Environmental Services launched its inaugural United Veterans Network fundraiser, which had been orga nized for the last three months, drawing more than 100 peo ple to the popular pub throughout the evening to enjoy music from a DJ, and partake in an open bar, a buffet and raffles.Veolia is responsible for protecting Nassau County’s south shore environment through its operation of waste water treatment facilities. Proceeds from the fundraiser went to America’s VetDogs, a Long Island-based non-profit organization that helps match veterans with service dogs. Veolia has developed a long relationship with VetDogs, and Jon Arneth, director of operations at Veolia, said the fundraiser at Mulcahy’s made sense. “It’s just as simple as we wanted a great venue and everybody knows Mulcahy’s,” said Arneth. “I grew up on the island coming here, our main facility is two miles down the street at Cedar Creek Park, we treat the water that comes out of here, and the venue’s very welcoming to everybody.”KevinChandler, vice president of Veolia’s Long Island operations and a Marine Corps veteran, said he recognized the importance of the inaugural fundraiser to the veterans in the“Withcommunity.LongIsland hosting one of the largest veterans’ populations in the nation, our support of this program reaches an important and vital part of the community,” Chandler said. “It is truly an honor to support such an important organization and to be able to help improve the lives of those who have served.” Chandler added that Veolia’s partnership with Ameri ca’s VetDogs seeks to gain a significant positive impact on the veterans’ community across Long Island. “Through their innovative programs, America’s Vet Dogs has consistently touched the lives of countless veter ans. Our company proudly stands with them and all those seeking to improve the quality of life of those who have worn the uniform,” said Chandler.

Peter added, “The one I have at home was great, but this guy is so much more advanced, and I don’t know how they do it. If you are persistent, you can teach them anything.”

“This is the best thing in the world,” Coughlin said of the fundraiser and America’s VetDogs. “Every fundraiser is so necessary. Without donations and fundraising, I wouldn’t have my third dog. I will do anything for Ameri ca’s VetDogs because for 20 years I’ve been able to go wher ever I want to go and do what I want to do. Friends of mine, much younger, they were in Afghanistan and Iraq. They have service dogs that they didn’t want any part of at first, but they were in such bad shape. Now they’re out all over the place with their dogs. It’s great and it really works.”Thecouple can’t say enough good things about Harri son, who has definitely become a part of the family.
Veteran Peter Coughlin and his wife, Dorothea, of Bay Shore, who recently celebrated their 52-year anniversary, are among those who have benefitted from VetDogs. Coughlin, a Marine veteran who served from 1968 to 1974, lost his eyesight after working for Con Edison after the 9/11 attacks in 2001 and received his first service dog in 2002.“We were doing the recovery and cleanup at the World Trade Center, and by the first week in October, I couldn’t see out of one eye, and then by Christmas, my other eye went,” said Coughlin, who added that his ailment forced him to retire early. After his first service dog passed away in 2012, he received his second service dog the following year. The sec ond dog retired at 13 years of age and now stays at the cou ple’s home. He now has a new service dog, Harrison, who has been with him for a year.

The Long Island Crisis Center was founded in 1971, and has spent the past half-century as a round-the-clock suicide prevention and crisis intervention center. It offers family counseling, support group, and various forms of health education.
The Long Island Crisis Center rents space from the Bellmore Presbyterian Church, and its offices are just behind the sanctuary at 2740 Martin Ave. For more on the crisis center and the programs it offers, visit LongIslandCrisis Center.org.

He’s a tough, strong kid.” Hernandez is a shutdown cornerback who’ll get the toughest weekly assignment in the secondary, Ramsay said. “He’s not the biggest guy (5-foot-9) but he can go against big receivers and shut them down,” Ramsay said. “He has great all-around skills and is one of our vocal leaders.”Campbell will spearhead the pass rush from the edge and comes off an impressive first season. “I’m excited to see what he can do after last year,” Ramsay said. Wright, from Dix Hills, is one of the defensive X-fac tors. He’s been dynamic in camp and will start at safety.
“We have a lot of challenges on the schedule that we’re pumped about,” Ramsay said.

The Lions were the No. 1-ranked NJCAA Division III program most of last season and are looking to get back to the championship game (Red Grange Bowl in Glen Ellyn, Illinois) after falling just short to DuPage, 34-29, after beating the Chaparrals by two points during the regular season.
Sophomore John Beaubrun, a Valley Stream Central High School graduate, leads the receiver corps and is also a key on special teams as a return option. “John had some big catches and a handful of touchdowns last year,” Ramsay said. “He has good speed and hands and runs sharpVersatileroutes.”sophomore tight end Greg King, a 6-foot-4 target, also returns and will provide yardage through the air and blocking. The feature running back is former Sewanhaka High School standout Brian Lowry. “He’s a tough downhill runner with deceptive speed,” Ramsay said. “He’s patient and strong and we’re looking for him to build on lastAnchoringyear.” the offensive front is sophomore center Kwami Frimpong, a talented all-around lineman and a leader in the huddle. “He’s crucial to everything we do on offense,” said Ramsay, who is also counting on returning starting sophomores Shamar Riley (tackle) and Kasper Borawski (guard) to get the job done in the trenches.
“Last year was a challenge coming off the canceled 2020 Covid season, but I thought we handled it quite well,” Nassau CC head coach Jamel Ramsay said. “It was a tough ending. We were down pretty big at halftime, fought back to take the lead in the last minute but couldn’t hold on. “We’re excited about the opportunity to return to that stage,” he added. “We have strong returning talent and I thought we added some nice pieces to fill voids.”

The first time you hold your child in your arms, you make promises to love, protect and always be there to guide him or her. Then reality intrudes.Unfortunately for us and fortunately for them, things such as school force us to release our little ones for a while and put them in the care of teachers and school administrators, who must oversee several kids at once. Suddenly, our precious bundle faces a must-be-decided-now quandary and finds that mommy or daddy isn’t there to make all the decisions. Sometimes the situation is even scary. Challenges face our chil dren in the form of peer pressure, drugs, sex and bullying.Clinical psychologist and author Dr. John Duffy says: “Parents do need to talk with their kids about bullying, sex and peer pressure. Many parents I’ve worked with over the years will pro vide time for a lecture, often a one-time-only lecture. But they will often fail to provide time for ongoing discussion of these topics, which is what children really need. They need to know that we as parents are available to them as guides should they need help navigating the world of peer pressure.” “I work with teens and tweens. They are at particular risk for peer pressure to participate in sexual activity, drink or smoke pot. Many are bul lied in ways we could not have even imagined a generation ago (texting, social media). They need parents who can help them in real time. The stronger the connection between parent and child the likelier a parent’s word will be heeded and the likelier a parent’s limits will be honored.”When you have that all-important conversa tion, Dr. Fran Walfish recommends: “The most important thing your child or teen needs on his first day of school is to not feel lonely or isolated. Talk with your kid about what it takes to be a good friend. Include what feels comfortable and what doesn’t. Teach your child to follow her instincts.”“Most kids know right from wrong. Teach your kid to listen to his internal voice and follow his intuition, not the crowd. I would wait to dis cuss sex and cyber-bullying and other issues so as not to bombard and overwhelm your child before school starts. Too much talk can raise anxiety when your goal here is preparation and to reduce anxiety.”
Stay Involved — And Communicate Keeping the lines of communication open is vital. Your child needs to know that you are will ing to listen, discuss his or her experiences and not judge. Learn to listen to your child; don’t just lecture him and assume he will do only what you’ve told him. Lead by example; it’s hard to persuade a child not to drink while you’re knock ing back a frosty mug of beer. Make sure that your child is involved in activities that inspire a sense of belonging; being a vital member of a team will encourage her to feel good about her self. Make sure you know what television shows and movies your child is seeing, and talk with him about the values and situations portrayed.

“I’d position it more as ‘making good choices’ versus ‘peer pressure,’ because big picture, if your kid makes good choices throughout life, he/she is setting himself/herself up for success,” advises Amy Kossoff Smith, founder of The MomTini Lounge. “I’d advocate sitting down before school to talk about your routine/expec tations, and in that context, say that there will be many opportunities to decide what is best for him/her and that you hope he/she will come to you for advice when needed and will make good choices, especially when presented with ideas or opportunities that may not lead to a good out come.”

known artists created new and innovative prints. As techniques have evolved — especially now with digital technology — artists have pushed the boundaries of traditional printmaking. Many contemporary artists view their graphic work as an integral part of their oeuvre and, for some, it is their primary expressive medium.
ike everything else in our rapidly changing culture, artistic styles, technique and process continue to evolve. Such is the case with printmaking. Hofstra University Museum of Art’s new exhibit, “Off the Press,” explores the relationship between the artist and the complexities of the printmaking craft. “Our goal with all our exhibits is to make our permanent collection accessible to the public,” says Karen Albert,the museum’s director and curator. “And one of the big strengths of our collection (5,200 pieces in all) is the print collection.”

Of particular note, she cites Romare Bearden’s “The Family” for his use of tinting and photo engraving. And Henry Moore’s “13 Standing Figures,” which visually relates to a sculpture that resides on Hofstra’s South Campus. Woodcuts, the oldest form of printmaking, appeared in fifth century Chinese art, and in Europe since the 15th century. Early prints — most commonly woodcuts, wood engravings and metal plate engravings — were often produced to provide illustrations for publications and, in the hierarchy of artists, printmakers were considered “lesser than” painters and sculptors.
The U.K. glam rock powerhouse visits Long Island ready to rock ‘n’ roll. The Struts have been massively embraced by some of the greatest icons in rock history. Along with opening for Foo Fighters, The Rolling Stones and Guns N’ Roses, the band was handpicked by Mötley Crüe as the supporting act for their last-ever performances. They’ve toured incessantly since their formation, including worldwide headline shows and major festivals like Lollapalooza, Governors Ball and Isle of Wight.

A print, in the broadest definition, is a work of art composed of ink on paper created through an indirect transfer process. Four major printmaking methods have developed over the centuries: relief, intaglio, and the planographic techniques of lithography and screenprinting.“Printmakers may choose between methods to produce a distinct type of image or line quality,” Albert explains.”Artists will choose the technique based on how they want the final image to look. This exhibition will give viewers insight into how and why such artistic choices are made.”

Think thoughts that’ll calm you down. Think about walk ing away — at least for the moment. Control your rage for yourself as well as for others. In the heat of anger you may feel righteous and mighty, but how good will you feel about yourself the next day? No matter how you rationalize what you said or did, in those silent moments of contemplation, you’ll feel humiliated and shamed for acting like a jerk. And your reputation will be damaged long after your anger has quelled. Smoldering embers live on forever, crumbling even strong relationships into bits and pieces. Now I’m not suggesting you need to be an angel. Nor do I think you should be easy-tempered, serene, and shrug off your hostility when resentments and disap pointments slap you in the face. I am sug gesting, however, that hurt feelings, per ceived slights, unexpected disappoint ments, even minor treacheries need to be dealt with fittingly, not taken to the extreme nor viewed as tragic. But how can you do this when you’re so upset?

■ You tell your child what he should be doing and he doesn’t listen to a thing you say.
■ First, you must gain control of your anger. Nobody makes you act the way you do. Yes, others contribute to your anger, but you’re the one who acts it out. So, take respon sibility for your behavior rather than putting the blame on another.

Becoming angry and resentful may be only the beginning. When emotions surge, righteous indignation may reach a boiling point. Then a sense of entitlement reigns and rage follows. Expressing rage creates trouble!

Besides being a social worker, Bald win, who has worked at Southeast Nas sau for more than 15 years, is also a behavioral health consultant. He earned his degree in social work from Adelphi University, and worked in pri vate practice for 30 years. During this time, he opened his own private mental health practice, “Baldwin Consul tants,” prior to working at Southeast Nassau.Inaddition to sponsoring the film, Southeast Nassau helped to create a screening guide and discussion ques tions to accompany community events that show the film. The organization also helped create a Spanish-subtitled version. Baldwin has participated in a few screenings as a mental health pro fessional, and led discussions after the showing.“There is a great deal of stigma attached to suicide, which leads to even more damage after the fact,” Baldwin said. “And so, the Twomeys wanted to fight that stigma and make people more aware, which perfectly aligns with our ownAlthoughmission.”“Scattering

Making the garage into living space
A. I’ve always won dered why people in your situation aren’t given a more thorough explana tion of all the things need ed for a permit. Code words like “sketch,” “expedite” and “simple,” along with phrases like “all you need is a permit,” or “you just …” are mis leading. Making a much more complicated process seem so simple that peo ple have a false sense of what is needed only adds stress and mistrust to the problem when a licensed individual is trying to get you through this legal procedure. Couple this with the knowledge of codes, structure and pitfalls that a seasoned professional must apply, and you may have a better sense of how you got pulled into a much more involved situation than you were told about and why it costs more than you assumed.
Ask ArchitectThe
I’m working with a few files right now where the owners didn’t know that the ceiling heights are lower than allowed by state building code, so, in addition to applying for a building permit, we are in a multi-month processes of first applying for a building code variance. This requires much more documentation, time and cost to the owner that the inspector might have noticed and said something about when they saw the spaces in question, but the owner wasn’t made aware of it. The owner was also only told they needed an architect or engineer and a sketch. This creates the false sense that the much more complicated process was simple when it wasn’t, and left the licensed professional to look like the enforcer of the law and “the bad guy,” pos sibly trying to rack up more fees.

For example, there are many regulations for sleeping spaces and bathrooms, such as means of escape, minimum space size, plumbing require ments and use. In most jurisdictions, the extra bed room has been used as a non-permitted rental, so the examiner of the plans, not the inspector you met, may have a policy to first get proof that you are not illegally renting the space. If you have a door to the outside from the room, for example, they will require that it be substituted with a win dow or blocked entirely with wall materials, mean ing that you have some remedial construction to do.
Site plan, zoning analysis, energy loss calcula tions and more are all required. Good luck!

Q. We were told by a building inspector that we need a permit for making our garage into a bedroom and bathroom. He gave us 10 days to “respond.” He told us we just need an architect to file a sketch of the room; he would even help us expedite the permit. We called around and are being told some crazy things and high costs to prepare the sketch. Why are we being told we need all these things, like a survey, a possible Sandy repair permit, an energy report, etc.? The inspector didn’t say we needed any of this. Who’s telling us the truth? We’re so confused.

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowl edge,” said historian Daniel Boorstin (it may have been Stephen Hawking). The Communicable Disease Center, the predecessor of the CDC, was formed in 1946. The CDC’s mission, according to its website, is to work “24/7 to protect Ameri ca from health, safety and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S. Whether diseases start at home or abroad, are chronic or acute, curable or prevent
of good community order and safety — like the laissez-faire repeated release of violent criminals back to the streets — are imposed on citizens whose objections are ignored. Not only do such anti-civili zation, get-out-of-jail-free policies further victimize us, they also erode our confi dence in the institutions we thought exist ed for our benefit. Abhor or admire him, Donald Trump was elected in 2016 in major part because most voters craved a return to compe tence after years of pedantic lectures but no achievement. Many of us think we’ve returned to wondering if anyone knows what they’re Politiciansdoing.aren’t the only ones under mining our confidence in institutions. Since Covid-19 attacked us from Wuhan, China, we’ve looked to our public health organizations for reliable information. We understood that such a novel virus would make immutable guidance impos sible. Faced with something so complicated and so new, we all accepted that scien tists would need time to gather and analyze data before they could define the pandemic, predict its prog ress and develop vaccines andWhattreatments.bothered so many of us is the supreme arrogance of the gov ernment’s public health community in the face of its amazing incompetence.

iwas thinking of redacting my col umn in the spirit of the moment. I spent all morning waiting for the redacted version of the warrant authorizing the search of Mar-a-Lago to drop and so it has, and so what? This endless cycle of “breaking news” doesn’t actually advance our knowledge of how and when Donald Trump might be held accountable for any alleged crimes.

able, human error or deliberate attack, CDC fights disease and supports commu nities and citizens to do the same. CDC increases the health security of our nation. As the nation’s health protection agency, CDC saves lives and protects peo ple from health threats.” It had 76 years of experience to prepare for what to do if a highly contagious virus started killing Americans. In the 1880s, Congress commissioned the Marine Hospital Service with exam ining passengers on arriv ing ships for signs of infec tious diseases in order to prevent epidemics. To spe cialize in that work, the MHS set up a small lab (on Staten Island), which would grow to be known as the National Institutes of Health. So the NIH has had about 130 years learning how to use medical science and best public health practices to prevent viral illnesses from becoming pandemics that might kill millions.Andyet in the winter of 2020 Ameri cans had the impression that the CDC and the NIH didn’t know what the hell they were doing, even though they condescend ingly acted like know-it-alls. That was a disastrous blow to our respect for those institutions. Worse than that was a suspi cion that their leaders, Drs. Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins, knew more about China’s infectious disease research than they were letting on. It’s hard to tell what’s worse: Thinking our institutions are incompetent, or suspecting they’re hiding the whole truth from us. Less critical than a bungling govern ment and inept disease-control regime, there are other examples of once reliable and now ineffective institutions. Are you getting your mail as regularly and accu rately delivered as you once did? How do you assess the common sense and general intelligence of most college grads you deal with on a daily basis? Do they inspire you with confidence in the future? When you deal with a business in person or by phone do you feel like they know what they’re doing? When you read supposedly fact-based articles in newspapers do you quickly see the bias or advocacy going on? Do you think new fellow employees are less able than the ones they replaced? What other examples of incompetence do you frequently encounter? Institutions have only ever been as competent as the people in them and who lead them. It’s up to us to demand that our federal, state, county, local and school dis trict institutions act competently. It’s up to people who call themselves journalists to discover and report the unbiased whole truth, without trading that truth for access to those institutions. It’s up to us to vote.

We must find our own peace of mind and cultivate our own sources of comfort as we support our democracy. As Labor Day approaches, we need to grab what’s left of summer and head to the beach. This is what we can do for ourselves as human beings living in challenging times Long Islanders are truly blessed with a natural remedy for stress since most of us are within driving distance of open water. Battered by the sights and sounds of real life, we go to the ocean to recharge our batteries.Iflee,escaping television, the internet, the book banning, the war raging in Ukraine, the suffo cating heat across the land, and of course the hair ball of Trumpism that is entan gling some very bright stabilityandrights,aboutarestandingaboutAmericansconspiracy.officialsshould-have-known-betterandinanestofliesandMostthinkingareconcernedoursecurityandintheworld.Weworriedalloveragainwomen’sreproductiveracism,guncontrolnothinglessthantheofourdemocracy.Wehavebecomeaddicted to “breaking news” that intrudes on our phones or beams out from televisions. We don’t want to hear it and we can’t stay away. The Mar-a-Lago search warrant is one of hundreds of hyped up turns of events in the unfolding story of the Trump years. The man has taken up residence in people’s minds, pushing out benign stuff like recipes and happy vacations and memories of leaders we have respected and even loved. A reliable antidote to Trump is escape intoSchoolnature.days are approaching; if it’s Thursday, it must be soccer practice or extra help classes, or ballet or orthodontist or religious school or play dates or flu shots or ... hopefully ... ther apy appointments. It’s all about lists and checking off items and jumping into the car or onto the computer or back to the market for some thing you forgot. Our homes need to be ready for cold weather ahead. Folks are thinking about cutting back the gar den and checking the oil burner.Wecan do what we have to do, and still walk the beach for a reboot. All over again I wonder at the deep, glorious expanse of white sand stretching down to the surf. This week the sun was brilliant in a blue sky studded with dar ling puffs of white. Oil tankers rode the horizon. The waves were lively, crashing around the rock jetties. I walked along the beach and took notice of everything I could hear: my rubber soles scuffing on the sand, the cawing of the seabirds roost ing around me, a jet leaving a ghost trail overhead.Afewpeople, widely scattered, were enjoying the day. One lone fisherman stood out on the rocks. The scene was soli tary; the heartbeat slowed, the mind qui eted and I felt like my better self as I set new footprints into the sand. At the tip of one jetty someone had placed a large American flag, which was tattered by the wind. If I knew how to write music, I would have composed an anthem from that image. It was a perfect experience. Isn’t this the most we can hope for—to leave our worries behind or at least set them aside for a while- and immerse ourselves in a setting of peace and beauty? It is the time lessness of the beach, the endless rhythms of the tide that remind us how beautiful and big this earth is and how relatively small our concerns are. Man, how lucky to live near the beach es that curl around Long Island like strands of pearls. And this is the best sea son to get out there. If you are reading this on Long Island, there is a beach some where not too far away. Suffering from TB? Head to the shore. Assemble ingredients. Mix well. Enjoy. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss.

opinions Where has all the competence gone?
To the OMG!Editor:Iread Randi Kreiss’s column “Florida Gov. DeSantis: teachers need to be educated” (Aug. 11-17), about allowing veterans to teach in Florida classrooms. Like Randi, I am a retired teacher, hav ing completed all the requirements neces sary for teachers in New York state. That anyone, including our veterans, would have the nerve to accept this position and stand up in front of 25 impressionable children and think he/she can teach with out having had the methods courses or the hands-on student teaching experience is simply arrogant. It says that my degrees in education are unnecessary. Do they know how to write a lesson plan? Do they know how to handle class Wantagh/SeafordIncorporating1953Citizen
Want to ensure democracy? Invest in education
Herald editorial
President Biden’s own numbers paint a horrifying picture for America’s postsecondary education system. The cost of a public four-year university has sky rocketed nearly 200 percent since 1980, but federal aid through Pell Grants has grown just 20 percent. In 1980, Pell Grants could offset 75 per cent of your total college expenses. Now? It’s barely 30 percent. That’s not how a country makes education a priority — and it’s certainly not how a country remains a superpower. This grant forgiveness isn’t a handout. It’s simply our government trying to catch up on the commitment made to each and every young person so many years ago. That means ensuring public funding is there while controlling costs at public universities. And at the very least, make community college free. Even the Founding Fathers felt educa tion was essential in ensuring democra cy, although it would take decades to establish broad-access public schools for children. In 1910, just one out of every 10 people had high school diplomas. Today, it’s above 90 percent. Investing in education makes a differ ence — but so does not investing in edu cation. Except that creates the kind of difference we’d rather not experience.

One that, by the time her summer was over, she could fund just about every single cent of the upcoming fall and spring semesters toward her goal of shaping young minds as an elementary school teacher. And here she was, in front of a class of students, sharing her tenacity. Her persistence.Exceptthis was the early 1980s. A time when tuition, fees, room and board cost just under $3,000 for the whole year — a little more than $10,000 in today’s money. But that’s not the same for teachers walking into our classrooms today as fall classes begin — not just across Nassau County, but across the country. That number is now just under $29,000, according to the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, as reported by Forbes last spring. While those numbers haven’t moved too much since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, they’ve certainly climbed significantly over the past 40 years — nearly three times the rate of inflation.Goingto college is supposed to pre pare our best young minds for the future. Instead, it creates significant burdens, with recent graduates carrying debts with them in six figures, many times before they even buy their first car, let alone their first house. Student loans are typically structured to only be present for the first 10 years of a graduate’s career. But a 2013 study by One Wisconsin Institute say that is more like the first 21 years of a career. That means many college graduates are help ing to secure student loans for their kids, while still paying off their own. It’s a “circle of life” that shouldn’t even exist. Yet it does. And whether we are product of colleges from the 1980s or today, it affects each and every one of us. For one, the number of high school seniors choosing college after gradua tion is dropping. Just 15.9 million pur sued undergraduate degrees in 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Edu cation’s Institute of Education Sciences. That’s from a peak of 18.1 million in 2010, and has steadily declined ever since.Yet, more than $1.6 trillion in student loans remain outstanding for 45 million people, according to the White House. That’s an average of $36,000 per student. Such a debt load also makes it harder for new college graduates to get started on their own, independent lives. In fact, more than half of college students sur veyed by Pew Research Center said they were back home living with their par ents in late 2020 — the highest percent age since the Great Depression. Sure, we could blame Covid-19, but those numbers were already past 47 percent and climb ing even before the pandemic.

Yet, the federal government’s plan to forgive up to $20,000 in student debt for anyone not among the super-wealthy is wrong — not because it’s wiping away student debt, but because it’s not wiping away enough of it.

HERALD COMMUNITY
A s election season heats up, we are once again hearing the same worn-out message parrot ed by Democrats hoping to get elected. You know it: “I support access to quality, affordable health care.” But no one ever questions why health care should be this way. Because as far as I can see, health care shouldn’t just be affordable. It should be free. Under rare cir cumstances, like in rural areas of the country, get ting access to health care is gen uinely difficult. There are situa tions in which there is a real shortage of doc tors, and they must be addressed. But for the vast majority of Americans, the real barrier to health care is its prohibitively high cost.You have “access” to health care in the same way you have “access” to a Lambo rghini. What’s stopping you? Go get one! Clearly, the problem isn’t supply; the cars are there. It’s the fact that for most Amer icans, it’s way too expensive. The difference is, you can live without a Lambo, but you can’t live without health care.
study, from the University of Massachu setts Amherst, put the price tag of singlepayer at just under $3 trillion, compared with the $4.1 trillion the American Medi cal Association estimated we spent on health care in 2020, meaning single-payer could save us $22 trillion over 20 years. Of course, there are con cerns about higher taxes.
Remind them that single-payer is a policy supported by a majority of Americans. Health care policy shouldn’t be about providing “access to quality, affordable health care.” It should be about providing quality health care, period.

Social Security spends less than 1 percent of its budget on administration, and Medicare spends 2 percent, compared with a low estimate of 17 percent among private insurers, who spend many of your “tax” dollars on profits and market ing rather than health care.

Thoughts or comments about our stories?
I’m not suggesting that our good, hardworking doc tors work for free. Rather, we ought to provide every one in the country with uni versal health care through a single-payer program. Everyone would pay into a pool, and the government would use that money to pay doctors for treatment.

The list of potential benefits is long. If you lost your job, you wouldn’t lose your health insurance. Small businesses wouldn’t have to bear the enormous cost of employee health care. Unions would no longer have to negotiate for health care benefits; 100 percent coverage would finally be achieved; and we would no lon ger lose 45,000 Americans a year due to a lack of health insurance.

Frankly, I wouldn’t mind paying higher taxes if it meant that my fellow Amer icans would receive the care they needed. But call it whatever you want. You already pay “taxes” to pri vate insurance companies in the form of premiums, copays and deductibles. And when expensive emer gency services are utilized for prevent able health problems, you foot part of the bill.Contrary to popular opinion, govern ment programs are extremely efficient.
When did the idea that we should pay for necessary medical procedures become accepted? It’s as barbaric as demanding payment to breathe air. And the concept of affordability is completely subjective. A million-dollar procedure is affordable to a billionaire, but for those who live in poverty, coughing up a couple of thousand dollars a year — or even a couple of hundred — for bare-bones private insurance is onerous.
To the IlanaEditor:Greenberg’s column in the Aug. 18-24 issue, “Scientists grapple with meaning of life. Why should judges?” was well thought out and insightful. She walked the fine line between sides. She pointed out that the goalposts are always changing with the science, and that judges may not be the best people to make that determina tion. I agree — but her argument fell flat when she discussed the recent Supreme CourtGreenbergdecision.states, “the Supreme Court should not infringe on my personal right to make that choice.” My understanding is that the court took no one’s rights away.Itruled that the “right” to an abortion is not based in the Constitution, and that any laws about abortion should come from the people, through their state or federal representatives. So the court didn’t take Greenberg’s rights away; it put those rights back into her hands! What is she going to do about it? Freeport
Your current health insurance would be phased into the new plan over several years, during which you could still access services.Thepath forward is clear: We need to move toward a single-payer system in the U.S. It will save money, lives, nerves, and a whole lot of paperwork. Luckily, we don’t need to move forward alone. We can look to our Pacific ally, Taiwan, which already has an outstanding single-payer system. Taiwan has a higher life expec tancy, a lower infant mortality rate and a lower maternal mortality rate — all for less than we spend in the U.S. If you want to reform our brutal health care system, find and call your state senator at nysenate.gov/find-mysenator. There is legislation that has passed the Assembly called the New York Health Act, which would enact singlepayer in New York state. Contact your U.S. representative as well, or call Sen. Chuck Schumer, at (202) 224-6542, or Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, at (202) 224-4451.
A final worry is, “Would I lose my existing health insurance?” No. It’s a pre carious time in America right now, but no one’s coverage would be taken away.
