Accident gives survivor new lease on life
By BRENDAN CARPENTER bcarpenter@liherald.com
Many can claim inspiration from dreams they experience while sleeping. But what about a dream during a coma? Jaimie Torres can. She barely survived a 2013 car crash, spend ing time in a coma. But Torres managed to emerge from her calamity not only alive, but with a newfound skill and full-time job: making jewelry.Now 38, Jaimie recalls little of the accident. She remembers being in a car with her thenboyfriend driving through Valley Stream past the Green Acres Mall. She was con scious as they pulled her from the car that had been wrecked beyond recognition. She was rushed to Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital in Oceanside, where doctors discovered Jaimie had suffered a traumatic brain injury and needed a craniotomy — which relieves pressure around the brain and prevents blood vessels from bursting. After the surgery, Jaimie was moved to the intensive care unit, where she spent the next six weeks in a coma. It was during that time Jaimie remembers “dreaming I could make jewelry.” Shortly after waking up, Jai mie began her rehabilitation at St. Johnland Nursing Center in Kings Park. There, she was able to get physical and speech therapy. And, before long, she was “danc ing the Macarena with the staff and otherWhilepatients.”there, how ever, she also earned a nickname: “The Miracle.”“Therehab was the best,” Jaimie said. “I came out a lot better, and I felt a thousand times better. You just have to stick with it, and you can heal pretty fast.” She was discharged that December, and began home care, where she lives with her parents, Pat and Frank. The first thing she did was walk straight to her bedroom and lay on her own bed. “She has worked so hard and has gotten much better,” Jaim ie’s mother, Pat, said.

Is talking to an “empty chair” a whacko thing to do or an effective thera peutic technique to help you resolve unfinished business? The “empty chair” technique, popularized by Fritz Perls, the founder of Gestalt therapy, helps people move from just talking about their con flicts to experiencing them in the moment. What a difference that makes — akin to the difference between talking about sex and experiencing it! Imagine speaking to someone sitting in that empty chair, saying everything you wanted to say without worrying about hurting their feelings, mincing your words, or regretting anything. Great release! Yet this technique isn’t designed to be simply cathartic. It’s designed to help you resolve relationship issues that still haunt you. So imagine sitting in an empty chair and across from you is your neme sis. Let’s say it’s your mom. After all, it’s always one thing or a mother. Visualize her facial expression, the look in her eyes, her bodily posture. You’re still upset about her unfair treatment of you. Let it all Nowout! move to the empty chair. “Be” your mother. Imagine she takes in what you just said. What’s her response?
Sit in the empty chair. “Be” your scared self. Describe what it feels like to be so frightened that you can’t run away or call for help. Then move to the chair opposite you. Now “be” the scary self. Yes, it’s harder to be the character you don’t identify with, but do it anyway. Flaunt your might. Be the terrifying power. With your psychologist’s guidance, you move back and forth between the two chairs acting out your struggle until you gain an appreciation of how you frighten yourself. Then you’ll learn how to face your fears, find your voice and flex your muscles.Empty chair work is powerful as you learn how to integrate and liberate war ring parts. When I’ve witnessed such dra matic breakthroughs, it not only impress es me, it truly makes my day!

“With traffic increasing and people get ting back to public transportation, we want them to feel safe, and having this police booth here is going to make the people in this community feel safe,” said Nassau County Executive Bruce Blake man“It’s important that there be a presence of this part of the police precinct here in South Valley Stream and the Gibson area.”“Police officers need a place to go to have their meal, fill out their reports and call them into our communications bureau, or even go to the bathroom,” said Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder. “By putting these booths throughout our com munity years ago, this is where they would go and today, we want to bring that back. It starts here in Valley Stream, but there are over fifty booths in Nassau County we want to refurbish. Making our police presence known protects the resi dents of our county. ” Village officials said other similar beautification projects are coming down the pipeline in and around Valley Stream.

We are back and better than ever could have been the title of the superintendent’s roundtable hosted by the Center for Adult Life Enrichment on the campus of Hewlett High School in Hewlett with Hewlett-Wood School District Superinten dent Ralph Marino Jr. on Aug. 25. Sitting at a card table in the front of the big meeting room, 2019.“This puts us back to where they were in 2019,” he said. “I’m very, very excited.”Marino noted that the high school hosted a Freshmen Focus day on Aug. 24 and roughly 200 ninth-graders attended, sat with their friends and received an introduction to their next level of school ing. There are 975 students enrolled in Hewlett High, he said. For the youngest Hewlett-Woodmere students, it will be the first school year for full day Pre-K at the Franklin Early Child hood Center. Marino said 115 students are enrolled in the district’s new program, which he said, “ties in nicely with the phi losophy of the school.” Task force reports on both the 10-peri od high school day and the district’s pro posed Princeton Plan are expected in November, Marino said. Eliminating the 10-period was originally discussed at a November 2021 board meeting as part of other cost-cutting measures, including paring elective courses. “It’s a work in progress,” Marino said. The district’s Princeton Plan would move all second and third grade classes to one school and fourth and fifth grades to another. Currently, there are two elemen tary schools — Hewlett and Ogden — that houses second through fifth grade. The concept is to organize school districts based on grade levels rather than where people live in the community. It is named for the New Jersey suburb that desegre gated its schools in 1948, six years before the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision.
Towns resident Ellen Margolin sits on the district’s Curriculum Committee, records the minutes for the high school’s Parent-Teacher group and has grandchildren attending HewlettWoodmere schools. “I like to show the superintendent my support, I like to hear the latest things that I might have missed along the way,” Margolin said in explaining why she attended the roundtable. A shortage of school bus drivers con tinues to be an issue, however Marino said that with the two bus companies the district is contracted with — Guardian and Independent Coach — the district is in better shape. In tandem with that, he noted the district is not facing a shortage of teachers. “There were not a lot vacan cies,” he said. “We filled the positions.”

Local CarFit helps senior driver safety
Recent survey findings show that senior drivers experience safetyrelated “fit” challenges with their cars, including improper distance from the steering wheel, inadequate views from side mirrors, improper seat height, and improper head restraint height. The encouraging news is that after a run through CarFit, a free driver safety program, 97 percent of participants’ issues were resolved. CarFit, created through a part nership between AAA, AARP, and the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), helps older drivers by assessing the “fit” of their cars for maximum safety and com fort. AAA Northeast and Friends of Franklin Square Public Library will conduct free CarFit check-ups at Rath Park in Franklin Square on Thursday, September 8, 2022, from 10 AM to 12 PM. “As we age, changes in our vision, flexibility, strength, range of motion, and even size and height may make us less comfortable and reduce our control behind the wheel,” said Karen Blackburn, AAA Northeast Senior Public Affairs Specialist. CarFit provides drivers with the tools to make adjustments in their own vehicles that can help them see better out of their vehicle, as well as to understand and apply the safety features of their car. At a CarFit event, trained volun teer technicians complete a 12-point checklist with each driver. The posi tion of the driver’s seat is corrected. That includes the seat height, dis tance from the steering wheel, visual clearance above the steering wheel, and proper steering wheel tilt. Check-ups take between 20-30 min utes, and appointments are required.

Pedestrian walkway connects to train station continued from front page
Juan Lasso/Herald the Village of Valley Stream secured $1.7 million worth of state funding to build a network of pathways for pedestrians and cyclists running through Edward W. Cahill Memorial Park, which will connect with the Long Island Rail Road.
But the project, Bringmann suggests, won’t be without its own set of challenges and concerns. Once it becomes easier for cyclists and scooters to skirt car traffic by traveling through the park to get to the LIRR station, commuters are likely to see more electric bikes and scooters sharing space on the track, and on board the train.

If there is a way to interconnect the small streets to the major avenues, it would make sense for the safety of riders — and even kids who may not commute but need a safe place to ride.” “I see myself using this,” said another neighbor, Justin Cange. “I’m in favor of more bikes, less cars — anything that reducesMuchtraffic.”isstill in the air about specifics, including whether the added perks listed on the initial site plan — like a green house education center, and a pedestrian crossing bridge over Sunrise Highway — will make it unto the final blueprint. But one thing remains clear to Sabati no: “This project will take three years to complete with multiple pauses for review, permitting and construction.”
Because the lithium-ion battery power ing an electric bike or scooter has the potential to explode, the MTA is looking into updating its policy to regulate the number of electric scooters and bikes on trains, Bringmann said. “We’re also, out of safety and conve nience concerns, looking into having lock ers and racks for the motorized scooters and bikes, because they tend to take up a lot of space,” he said. And not all are thrilled. Those like Joseph Corrado say the installation will do more harm than good to the park. “This greenspace is supposed to be a natural area, and now it’ll turn into a commuter-heavy area and a transit corri dor,” he told village officials. “That’s not the purpose of the park.” Others questioned whether the $1.7 million could have been used to place bike lanes throughout the village and rehabili tate the existing vegetation and landscape of its Nothingparks. is yet in stone, however. Vil lage officials hope to finalize site plans next year.

Valley Stream reSident Herchell M. Blackwood was numbered among more than a dozen members injured after a van crashed on the Greene County Thruway last week.
A Valley Stream man was numbered among more than a dozen members of a New York City church group who were hospitalized after a van crashed and overturned last Wednesday on the state Thruway in Greene County, according to stateAroundpolice.9:30 p.m., Percival Carter, 73, of Jamaica, was driving the 14-passenger van from the Church of God of Prophecy of South Ozone Park when he tried to avoid another vehicle that had changed lanes.Carter allegedly overcorrected, losing control of the van as it swerved off the road, struck a guard rail, and overturned several times. The driver was not injured. Passenger Herchell M. Black wood, 63, of Valley Stream, was taken to St. Peter’s Hospital with non-life-threat eningEmergencyinjuries.

crews swiftly responded as all southbound lanes along the I-8 Thruway were shut down for hours and later reopened at 3:45 p.m. State police said no criminal charges are pending and that no tickets were issued.
George Bringmann, who heads the rider advocacy group the Long Island Rail Road Commuter Council, says the roll-out of the new walking and biking installa tion is a “fabulous” project that will incentivize more people to ride the rails — even as many are still shying away from trains post-pandemic.
Representing the Metropolitan Trans portation Authority, which runs LIRR, spokeswoman Kayla Shults praised the Valley Stream project for “helping com muters reach Long Island Rail Road sta tions, especially in environmentally friendly ways that reduce congestion.”
It’s even more important now as the LIRR prepares to open up service from Manhattan’s Grand Central Terminal.

Both are returning starters who go sideline to sideline and excel at tackling, Ramsay said. “Jack was one of our defensive leaders last year and came into camp in outstanding shape,” the coach noted. “Jaylen is similar. 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.

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 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.”

But in the end, it’s not just about jewel ry or massage treatment for Jaimie Tor res. It’s about resilience, even in the face of the most extreme adversity.

During her four years there, she began making the very same jewelry she dreamed about while in the coma.“Istarted to realize I can do this, and it can help me get better,” Jaimie said. “I started doing it, and then I realized, ‘Hey, I have a knack for this.’” Now, Jaimie is a community jeweler, making all sorts of necklaces and brace lets, and selling them at various fairs and festivals in Valley Stream throughout the year. She’ll sell her jewelry next at Valley Stream Community Fest in late October, where she has for the past five years. “Last time, I sold everything I had,” Jaimie said. “And every time I go, the same customers are always there.” Along with the normal variety of jew elry, Jaimie also makes “healing brace lets.” They’re made with hematite, a natu ral iron-based stone that is known in feng shui to balance and support the healing of someone’s body and home. She said these bracelets have helped a lot of peo ple, including her uncle, who passed away from cancer a few years ago. She made him one of her “healing bracelets,” and he lived three years longer than he was told he would, she said.
Jonathan Asanjarani has been work ing with Jaimie toward this goal as her skills trainer for the past six months. He has been helping Jaimie regain all her reading, comprehension and math skills so she can get certified. “She’s very motivated to get better,” Asanjarani said, “and is passionate about helping people.”

The works on view are small sampling of the museum’s collection of more than 2,200 prints in a range of media and processes, Albert says. “What you’re seeing are essentially all my favorites.”
European and American artists began experimenting with printmaking in the late 19th to early 20th century. More recent decades saw the establishment of printmaking studios, where well-
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.”
When: Now, through Jan. 27
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.”
“It’s helpful to get an understanding of the process to see how it’s made,” Albert says. “How ink sits on a plate and how it’s transferred is different. Also notice the image is reversed, it’s the opposite of what it is on the plate.”
Visitors can view 30 prints — works dating from the late 16th century to the 21st — by Romare Bearden, Helen Frankenthaler, Henry Moore, Alison Saar and Andy Warhol, among otherss. A woodblock and copper etching plate are also on display.

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. When Covid-19 brought touring to a halt, The Struts created their third album “Strange Days” in a charmed and frenzied burst of Saturday,creativity. Sept. 11, 8 p.m. $65, $45, $35, $25.

Local musicians gather with fans of Harry Chapin for that rousing tribute to Chapin’s musical legacy postponed from its original date in July. Stuart Markus, with his band Gathering Time, are prepared to lead Long Island’s top musical talents in spirited renditions of Chapin’s many hits. It also will be livestreamed on the ‘Just Wild About Harry’ (The Harry Chapin Tribute Show) Facebook page and available for later viewing. This year’s concert — the 19th annual, and 17th at the park — marks the 50th anniversary of the release of Chapin’s breakout hit ‘Taxi.’ As always, visitors are asked to bring donations of non-perishable food items to be collected by Long Island Cares.
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.

■ A person should strive to pick up, not pick on. ■ A friend forgets what an enemy remembers.
■ Just because it is on life’s menu, doesn’t mean it’s available for takeout.
■ Good conversation is not found; it’s made.

■ Sad are those who would rather watch reality on a TV screen, than confront it in a mirror.
■ If the song is repeated often enough, the melody can become yours.
■ If you thought of it once and forgot it, don’t struggle to remember it, simply let yourself recreate it. ■ Some folks just don’t occupy a location, they genuinely fill a space.
■ Sometimes the “big man” is a small person. ■ One person’s complaint is another per son’s opportunity to do good.
■ Life is but a contest between hope and regret.
■ Take problems under your wing, not “under advisement.”
While it’s true that kids say “the darndest things” and plenty of cute stuff emerges from “the moths of babes,” it’s still older folks who remain the primary source of genuine and enduring wisdom if we would simply take a moment to lis ten.Below are several observations offered not by noted philosophers (assuming you could name one) or esteemed professors or talking TV heads, but rather by real folks right here in our own neighborhood who are a fount of experience, insight and just (not-so-plain) good advice. Thus: ■ What’s said to the son, you will hear from his child.
By Ron Goldman
■ The selfish care only for themselves; the self-centered care only about them selves.And my favorite: ■ Smart are those who speak wisely. Wise are those who listen. And, blessed are those who do both.
■ The closest star is still a heaven away. ■ You are what you worry about.
■ Wish there was a GPS for those lost in thought.

■ Some itches must be left unscratched.
■ Sad are those who only look to the sky when it thunders.
■ Even if you could take it with you, it may have no value when you get there.

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.
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.

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.

Making the garage into living space
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.
Site plan, zoning analysis, energy loss calcula tions and more are all required. Good luck!

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?

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 com petent as the people in them and who lead them. It’s up to us to demand that our fed eral, state, county, local and school district institutions act competently. It’s up to peo ple who call themselves journalists to dis cover and report the unbiased whole truth, without trading that truth for access to those institutions. It’s up to us to vote.

ummers are for beaches, barbe cues and outdoor concerts. But for Faye, each and every day of her summers during her college years were spent inside a hot factory, pushing a button many times over. It was tedious, but it came with a pay check. 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.

Want to ensure democracy? Invest in education
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.

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.

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.

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.
opinions Why the heck should health care be affordable? e cause as far as I can see, health care shouldn’t just be affordable. It should be free.
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.

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 comments about our stories?
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

The program would also save us money. A study from Yale University esti mated that a single-payer system would save us $450 billion per year. Another
The high court ‘took no one’s rights away’ 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.
