Firemen’s Memorial Field marks 100 years

illage residents, dignitaries, volunteer firefighters, and even vintage baseball players, or “ballists” as they’re called, gathered at the gated entrance of Firemen’s Memorial Field to celebrate the field’s 100-year anniversary on Oct. 15.

The six-acre property that residents know as Firemen’s Memorial Field has four baseball diamonds, a football field, and a fully appointed clubhouse. The parcel was just a privately owned piece of farmland a century ago. The beloved landmark was donated to the Valley Stream Fire Department in 1922.

Three new senior housing projects up for consideration

By JUAN lASSo jlasso@liherald.com

In the village’s latest effort to tackle its shortage of available senior housing options, officials are planning to convert a roughly 47,000-square-foot lot, tucked between Payan Avenue and Hicks Street, into dozens of affordable apartments for moderate to low-income seniors.

Preserving affordable housing options for senior residents comes at a time when the village’s aging population is growing and demand for housing is high.

From 2010 to 2020, Valley Stream, whose population has

steadily increased, experienced a nearly 28 percent bump of those aged 65 and older from roughly 4,500 to 5,800, according to 2020 U.S. census data. Those aged 65 and older also represent a larger share of the village’s population from 12 to 15 percent.

Village officials anticipate the baby boom population, those born between 1946 and 1964, driving up the demand for senior housing in the coming years.

The village’s existing housing market is strained as a result of “empty-nesters” looking to downsize from their longtime house to a smaller, lower-maintenance apartment or condo.

“Seniors interested in Monica

Village (the village’s sole senior housing facility) must wait several years on a list prior to being of fered a unit,” said Tom McAleer, head of the village’s Community and Economic Development team. “There is a desperate need for affordable senior housing and affordable housing at different stages of people’s economic and social life.”

The village solicited project proposals for the senior housing facility in June of 2021, and of the seven applications received, three development projects are up for consideration.

Before making a final decision, officials are currently seek-

ing public input from residents on their preferred project via an online survey posted on their government website.

As of press time, the village had received 20 feedback submissions and the results of the survey will be shared on the website, according to McAleer.

Some element of affordable housing is required for all pro-

spective developers aiming to have their projects considered by the village. And affordability will likely be a key issue among residents and stakeholders when deciding which of the trio of projects they will support .

orest Road Elementary School students were paid a visit by members from the “Journeys into American Indian Territory,” a Long Island-based traveling museum specializing in Native American history on Oct. 11. Students were able to explore the tribal traditions and folktales of Native American Eastern Woodlands Tribes through storytelling, song and dance, cultural artifacts, and hands-on activities.

“The program helps students move beyond stereotypes to a more accurate and sensitive understanding of Native Americans as human beings and as contributors to the world we know today,” according to the program’s website.

Students were fully immersed in Native American culture throughout the day, starting with a presentation of the museum by experts in their cultural traditions. Students learned about the different roles and responsibilities of men and women and how they divvied up survival tasks with men hunting while women prepared the food and clothing, for example.

Everyday tools were also on display, and students got a hands-on experience with animal pelts and a manual corn grinder and drill.

Students then played traditional games that were used to teach Native American children important survival skills. Then, they learned about the government structure of Native American society. As a final treat, they fashioned their own bowls out of clay to take home.

or the first time this year, fall varsity athletes in the Valley Stream Central High School District were treated to evening outdoor games with the full “Friday Night Lights” experience.

In any other normal year, the boys and girls’ varsity soccer and football games begin at 5 p.m. — when there is plenty of daylight left — but this season was kicked off with a twist, The fields at South and North high schools and Memorial Junior High School have installed light towers that illuminate the playing field. Games started at 6:30 p.m. just as the sun began to set.

The special contests give Valley Stream athletes the exciting opportunity to play in a new atmosphere under the bright floodlights.

“There are few things more exciting than a game played under the bright lights,” said Superintendent Wayne Loper.

“We wanted to replicate the feeling of playing in a major commercial stadium for our student athletes, and with just the installation of a few lights, we were able to do that.”

“The idea for this was brought to me by Dr. Loper and members of the board,” said district athletic director Brett Kornblum, who came to the District in July. “When I arrived, we immediately began preparing for the events, and so far, they have been a huge success.” Central athletes kicked their game on September 21 while North’s and South’s teams played under the lights for the first and second weeks of October, respectively.

THe VillAGe of Valley Stream hosted a rededication ceremony to commemorate the centennial of Firemen’s Memorial Field with a plaque unveiling.

Play ball, rewind the clock at centennial ceremony continued from front page A few years later, the field was deeded to the village for the sum of $8,500 under the condition that it keeps the name honoring its original recipients: “Firemen’s Memorial Field.” And it has been that way ever since.

Throughout the field’s early history, America’s national pastime felt right at home. The field housed a number of amateur and semi-pro baseball and football teams, some alternating between being amateur and semi-pro depending on the year.

“Home baseball teams included the Sago Athletic Club, the Fire Department Vamps, and the Valley Stream Baseball Club, also known as the Streamers,” according to village historian Bill Florio.

“Using Firemen’s Field as their home turf, they played other local semi-pro and amateur athletic teams, as well as a number of famous barnstorming teams like the House of David.

According to Florio, Negro League teams such as the Havana Red Sox, Cuban Black Sox, the New York Black Yankees, and the Pennsylvania Red Caps of New York also played away games on the field against the Valley Stream teams.

In 1936 and 1937, fans were introduced to donkey baseball, which is exactly what it means. This 1930s trend featured most of the players riding donkeys while fielding the ball and running the bases.

“The field lays claim to a very colorful ______________

history,” said Mayor Edwin addressing the crowd. “It was the location of tryouts for the Chicago Cubs in 1946. Even the Washington Redskins and Detroit Lions can trace early players to the football grounds here on Firemen’s field. Many luminaries have visited Fireman’s Field, including Kate Smith, Yankees co-owner Dan Topping, Bill Shea, whom any Mets fan knows was instrumental in bringing National League Baseball back to New York, and Shea Stadium named after him, as well as Jim Thorpe, the American athlete and Olympic gold medalist.”

Today the field continues to host a variety of adult and youth softball, baseball, and football games. The village also uses the field for community events, most notably wowing crowds during its annual Independence Day fireworks display.

At the rededication ceremony, the National Anthem was sung by Moises Rodriguez from Valley Stream Fire Department Hook and Ladder Company 2 alongside the presentation of colors by the Valley Stream Fire Department. A gilded plaque was also unveiled on the gated entrance of the field at the ceremony.

To cap off the rededication, baseball players dressed in vintage uniforms took part in a friendly 1864-era exhibition game between the New York Mutuals and the Valley Streamers harkening back to the classic, more “gentlemanly” days of the game.

was roughly $75,000, according to the U.S. 2020 Census, which currently sits around 50 percent below the Island’s current AMI of $146,400.

“In general, affordable units have to be 60 percent of the average median income or lower,” said state House and Community Renewal spokesperson Brian Butry, which are those making $61,500 or less for a single applicant or $79,050 for a family of three.

Therefore, apartments tailored for moderate-to-low-income seniors may precisely be what most seniors in the village could hope to comfortably afford.

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 attending 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 October series “Health+Wealth+Self,” which concludes Thursday, Oct. 20 with a focus on protecting older Americans from cybercrime.

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

“We strengthen communities,” Macias

DRS. 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. 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 Audiology 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 hearing loss. Like if people around you seem like they’re mumbling, or you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves.

Other signs include struggling to understand people talking in noisy locations, missing words or phrases on the telephone, or even hearing ringing, buzzing,

hissing sounds in your ears.

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

Common risks, Cardano mentioned, include high blood pressure, obesity, inactivity, high cholesterol, smoking and diabetes.

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

“In order for the brain to function properly, 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, limiting 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 hearing loss — the easiest way to preserve your hearing clarity is to have it treated and have properly fitted and maintained hearing aids,” Cardano said.

When the force of its chief weapon was blunted by archrival Carey’s shrewd tactic, the Valley Stream North girls’ volleyball team – in a Nassau conference A/ C2 showdown Oct. 15 – simply shrugged and devised a workaround. VSN, this season, has grown accustomed to overcoming hurdles.

Largely through pointed avoidance, visitor Carey was able to cap Spartans outside hitter Kayla Santo’s kills at 10 – two thirds of the All-County senior’s season average – but all hands were on deck for VSN as it booted the Seahawks from a two-way tie atop A/C2 and seized sole possession of first place in league with a resourceful win in four sets.

“Teams know Kayla’s our best hitter, but all of our girls can play,” said Spartans coach Mary Parisi, whose club improved to 10-1 with a 3-2 conference win at East Rockaway Oct. 17. “[Carey] was hitting the ball away from [Santos], because when she’s on she’s unstoppable.

But the fact that the other girls stepped up threw them off. My team gets fired up and we were able to put them away.”

Bumped up a conference after winning last year’s A/C3 title, the Spartans received a rude welcome in the season opener Sept. 8, falling in five sets at rival Bethpage as a long autumn seemed to loom. But since its rough initiation, VSN has outclassed the field, justifying its promotion with 10 straight wins, including 3-1 vengeance Sept. 29 at home against Bethpage, which withered under Santos’ season-high 21-kill barrage.

“Our first game, we just weren’t ready,” said Parisi, whose club had entered the offseason with uncertainty at key positions. “Bethpage came out very strong and our inexperience showed. We just knew we really had to get in sync,” she added: “Which is where we are now.”

A pressing question that existed for VSN this summer found an answer in the form of setter Ericka Leus, team leader with 65 assists in seven matches. An outside hitter at the start of camp, the sophomore’s deft touch in drills suggested to

Media Origin Inc./Herald

seNioR KaYla saNto is an All-County hitter averaging 15 kills per match.

Parisi that the team had found a new offensive linchpin. “I noticed Ericka had really good hands,” said Parisi. “We really needed a setter, and Ericka has just embraced it.”

Junior setter Cianna Nadal has kept good pace behind teammate Leus in her first season up from JV, while twin sister Alyanna Nadal ranks fifth in A/C2 with a team-leading 133 digs at libero.

Sparking the Spartans defensively in her third season starting on varsity, middle hitter Isabella Matura leads VSN with 35 blocks (fourth in A/C2). “Isabella’s a

huge asset in the middle,” Parisi said of the 5-foot-10, Honorable Mention AllCounty senior, whose season-high nine blocks Sept. 29 helped VSN down visiting East Rockaway 3-1. “She commands the middle and keeps a lot of plays going for us.”

Parisi added: “Coming into the season, we knew we had good hitters and good defense, and that we’d build around that.

It was a matter of getting the right girls into key positions, getting the new setters to vibe with the hitters. That was it. And once it clicked, it clicked.”

Final stretch of LIRR’s $2.5B ‘third track’ done 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 benefits 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 completion 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 opportunities 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 including 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 finishing 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 president, says the rail system expansion couldn’t come at a better time as the new

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.

Manhattan East Side terminal Grand Central Madison — a heavyweight project in itself — comes into operation in the coming weeks.

“When combined with the new terminal 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.

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.”

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 CentreWHERE based South Shore Symphony has grown and flourished as a regional orchestra that commands attention. For much of that time — since 1991 WHEN — principal cellist Wayne Lipton, the orchestra’s president, has been instrumental in guiding the many phases of its • Saturday, Nov. 12, 7 p.m. growth.

• Madison Theatre, “We started to really blossom, added more Molloy University campus, 1000 Hempstead Ave., musicians, when the Rockville Centre Guild for Rockville Centre the Arts took us under their umbrella” in 1991, • For tickets, visit Lipton recalls. And he and his group have never MadisonTheatreNY.org looked back. The orchestra — which performed or call the box office at at South Side Middle School until its move to the (516) 323-4444 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.”

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.”

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.

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.

Of special note is the orchestra’s relationship with virtuoso violinist Ming Fen Hsin — the orchestra’s music director in the ‘90s — who connected the South Shore Symphony with music director and

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.

“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.”

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.

“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.

“I hope everyone takes advantage of all that we’ve pulled together this season to entertain you.”

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.’

V.S. dentist admits to giving kids unneeded root canals

October 20, 2022 — VALLEY STREAM HERALD

14 Pediatric dentist dr.

Barry L. Jacobson settled a lawsuit against his company for allegedly performing unnecessary root canal surgery on children.

Herald file photo

A pediatric dental group with practices in New Jersey, Vermont, and New York, including an office in Valley Stream called Pediatric Dentistry of Valley Stream, has agreed to pay more than $750,000 to settle allegations that his pediatric dentistry performed unneeded roots canals on children, according to state and federal authorities earlier this month.

Dr. Barry L. Jacobson and his company HQRC Management Services LLC admitted to billing Medicaid for the unnecessary

procedure known as therapeutic pulpotomies between 2011 and 2018, which were not supported by the medical records maintained at the respective dental practices, New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a joint statement with the office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, Philip Sellinger.

“Dr. Jacobson and HQRC allegedly performed unnecessary and invasive dental procedures on children to line their own pockets,” James said in a statement. “My office will not tolerate any instance of medically unnecessary procedures performed on vulnerable Medicaid beneficiaries.”

The defendants also admitted to making “billing errors” on claims made out to New York and New Jersey Medicaid contractors, which led to inaccurate information on service claims performed at three of its dental practices.

This joint investigative effort between the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey, is collecting $313,783 for the federal shares of New York and New Jersey Medicaid damages as part of the agreement. A portion of the settlement will also go to the whistle blower who filed a lawsuit under the federal and New York False Claims Act, prosecutors said.

An architect for a 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.

East Rockaway

HOME Of tHE WEEK

Affordable Waterfront

N

ew construction, waterfront property and low taxes! This hidden gem tucked away in East Rockaway is pure luxury through and through. The marble white kitchen with high end appliances, lead to a spacious living room with custom white paneled wood and decorative fireplace. The beautiful beachy wood floors add to the ambiance and lead to two bedrooms.

Sliding glass doors bring you out to your own breathtaking waterfront sanctuary.

Imagine yourself on one of the three tiered decks doing yoga; barbecuing or simply relaxing as you watch the boats go by. Perhaps you'd like to tie up your Jet Ski or boat to your own dock and bulkhead! Doesn't get better than this! A must see!!!

A. Do things once, the best way. A deck isn’t habitable, but a sunroom is, and a permit is required.

Plans have to show structural 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 purchase, issues you might not expect are still imporonte eeper tant, like finding out what kind of oil to add to your snow blower before the engine seizes or that windows without factory tinting can allow ultra-violet sunlight rays to fade your carpet. As an architect for a largely popular sunroom manufacturer in the 1980s and ’90s, I experienced 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 specific 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 discussing 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.

Ask The Architect

opinions

o

ne 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 scientist 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 JAMEs inhabitants.

In the real BERnsTEin world, of course, nothing so dramatic has ever happened. 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

‘T

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

Just in case the real thing ever happens, 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 flying 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 Dimorphos a bit off its orbit.

It worked. The test succeeded beyond NASA’s expectations.

“For the first time ever, humanity has changed the orbit of a planetary 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 universe throws at us. “NASA has proven we are serious as a defender of the planet.”

And there is no question the planet

‘

W

needs defense. In December 2019, Congress 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 security 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 capability 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 resolution 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

e must also remember that this was a small test, and just a test at that.’

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 Garden 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 Chelyabinsk meteor that exploded in the atmosphere 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.”

James Bernstein is editor of the Long Beach Herald. Comments? Jbernstein@ liherald.com.

America’s mayhem is playing on the world stage

he whole world is watching.

The whole world is watching.”

If you know American history, or you remember it, “The whole world is watching!” is the unforgettable 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 Democratic National Convention that August.

A quick recount: The stodgy Vice President Hubert Humphrey was about to be named the Democrats’ presidential candidate, RAnDi to run against KREiss Republican Richard Nixon.

The background: President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated five years earlier. His younger brother, Bobby, running against Humphrey for the Democratic nomination, 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 weekend before the convention, some 2,000 young people gathered in Chicago’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.

The fallout: According to the Guardian newspaper, “After four days and nights of violence, 668 people had been arrested, 425 demonstrators were treated at temporary 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 firing 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 apparently 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-

T

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 America out of their country.

The echoes: Last week, as I watched the Jan. 6 committee hearing, I thought about how vital the media has been in investigating and reporting the alleged crimes committed by our 45th president and his enablers.

Without an intense commitment by reporters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, we would not know what happened that day. This time the protesters carried the weapons, and erected a portable gallows. This time the protesters wanted to overthrow a righteous 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 violence 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

he lines connecting 1968 and 2022 are unsettling. It feels all wrong all over again.

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

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 violent Americans. The new twist in the MAGA community, and from Trump himself, 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 disillusioned 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 presidency and he just won’t go.

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

Thank a crossing guard near you

hey 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 somewhere. Or they have others in the car distracting 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 children 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.

letters 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 profess 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 purpose. 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 undeserved anger will not have to hear you.

RICHARD SIEGELMAN Plainview

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 California 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 Maryland 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 happen? Are people on their cellphones, talking or texting? Are they changing the channel on their car radio? Arguing with another passenger? How are they so distracted 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

Police Department.

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 children are on their way to, and then dismissed 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 matter their background.

Crossing guards obviously are important — 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 drivers 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 crossing guard, give them a wave of gratitude — after you stop, without anger or impatience, 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.

n 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 overdramatic, but there are good reasons to view this one as a political twofer.

Many of us New Yorkers are oblivious to what is taking place all over the country.

JerrY One sage veteran of the partisan kremer 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 Constitution, even though a few of the Republican candidates are election deniers or members of the Trump cult.

But if you lived in Michigan or Arizona, you would understand why their elec-

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

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 elected they will “fix” the system by taking power away from local election boards. Doug Mastriano, the GOP candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, 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,

magine a Sen. Herschel Walker in a chamber where Pat Moynihan once sat.

Letters Vote ‘yes’ for clean water, clean air and green jobs To the Editor: For 20 years, the North Shore Land Alliance has worked to protect nearly 1,300 acres of natural areas. The primary reason we protect 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 County’s surface is impervious (pavement and buildings). We need open space to protect our ground and surface water.

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

are planning to or have lost their jobs in primary contests, won by the election crazies. If the deniers win in six of the key states, they will have the power to potentially reverse the national election tally two years from now.

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 Herschel Walker could be sitting in a body that once boasted the likes of Everett Dirksen, Lyndon Johnson and Pat Moynihan. Can you envision Sen. Mitch McConnell walking over to Senator Walker and saying, “Herschel, how do you feel about nuclear disarmament?”

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

The platforms of a number of Republicans 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 Republican, states that the church should be running the government. Blake Masters, a

Republican Senate candidate in Arizona, scrubbed his website to remove mentions of a national abortion ban and references to Christian themes.

The use of crime as an issue by Republicans 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 convicted 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 campaigns, there are frequent references to billionaire George Soros, a major Democratic 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 overturn election results win and remake the fabric of our nation, the 2024 election will have been decided two years in advance.

Framework by Tim Baker

historic legislation would protect open space, safeguard clean drinking 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 worsening effects of climate change, protecting open spaces, replenishing our aquifers, and restoring bays and harbors is more important than ever.

I hope 2022 will be the year that we truly value our natural resources and take urgently needed action to protect our environment. 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.
