I t has been over two years since the spread of the coronavirus upended our everyday way of life, and as we start to slowly transition back to some semblance of normal, it is important to stop and acknowledge the resiliency and strength of the Lynbrook and East Rockaway communities through it all.

The annual charity event helps draw a major crowd to the Inwood Country Club
ThE ANNuAL LyNBROOk Mayor’s golf outing was held at the Inwood Country Club on Monday, Aug. 15.
Golf outing raises money for Lynbrook families
ATTENDEEs
The golf outing began early in the morning with a 7 a.m. registration time. After a busy afternoon on the course, attendees filed into the clubhouse for a buffet-style dinner and cocktail party. During the reception, Lynbrook Mayor Alan Beach presented each of the three honorees with citations for their “tireless service to our community,” after which he announced that representatives from Cen tral Savings Bank would return next year as the event’s special guest honorees.
“It was clearly our most successful out ing to date,” Greenfield said, “thanks to the attendance and generosity of the friends of the honorees.”
Lynbrook’s movers and shakers hit the links at the Inwood Country Club on Mon day, Aug. 15, for the Mayor’s annual Golf Outing.Theannual event, co-sponsored by the Lynbrook Chamber of Commerce, helps by raising money for the Lynbrook Com munity Chest—a charitable nonprofit organization that helps raise money to provide financial assistance to struggling families in the community. This year’s out honored Barry Korn blum of C&L Plumbing Supply and David Orwasher and Ken Breslin for their redevelop ment plans for The Langdon, a joint venture which aims to construct new luxury apart ments on Broad way.“I started C&L with my parents right out of col lege and through the years we’ve merged with small parts supply to full-service plumbing and heating, wholesale supply ing the entire metropolitan area,” Korn blum said. “I want to thank all my past and present employees because you just can’t do it yourself and I really appreciate all they’ve done. A good number of my employees have been with us for many years and their commitment and hard work continue to contribute to our suc cess.”C&L Plumbing Supply is a familyowned and operated luxury kitchen and bath showroom, as well as a commercial plumbing and heating supply house. It has maintained its operation in Lynbrook for over 40 years, and in 2001, moved to its current location on Merrick Road. David Orwasher re-joined the Brelin Realty organization in 2017 as its chief development officer. For the past 20-plus years, he has devel oped a robust number of properties and consumer-facing brands. In particular, he helped take two companies public—Cosi, a casual dinning chain that specializes in salads and sandwiches, and The Joint, a chiropractic company that operates on a private pay “retail” medical model. He also served as vice president of develop ment and asset management for Star bucks Coffee, where he was instrumental in the opening of over 1,000 stores in 17 new“Itmarkets.hasbeen an honor to be able to par ticipate in this village,” Orwasher said. “We’re strong and getting stronger every day.”Ken Breslin, president of Breslin Real ty, has been associated with the develop ment corporation in Garden City for 30 years. During his tenure, the firm has focused on retail growth across the Tristate area, representing and developing properties for over 100 national and regional retail clients including The Home Dept, Stop ‘n’ Shop, Lowe’s Home Improvement, Walmart, TJ Maxx, Trader Joe’s, Car Max, Orange Theory Fitness, Starbucks, and more.
Golf committee chairman Jeff Green field said that this year’s outing was “immensely successful.” Although he could not provide the exact amount of money raised for the Community Chest as of press time, Greenfield said that he intends to make a presentation of the pro ceeds at the next Lynbrook Village Board of Trustees meeting in September.

“I don’t think anybody was aware that anything was going on there,” Wangel said. “These are hard-working businesses who are not trying to do anything wrong.”
Prosecutorssaid. have also alleged that Hec tor Rosario of Mineola, a detective with the Nassau County Police Department, accepted money from the Bonanno crime family in exchange for offering to arrange police raids of competing gambling loca tions.Detective Rosario is charged with obstructing a grand jury investigation, and lying to the FBI. According to prosecutors, the alleged started its operations in 2012 in Lynbrook, working out of the Gran Caffe. The profits earned through this and other gambling locations generated substantial revenue, they allege, which was then laundered through cash transfers to the families, and through “kicking up” to the crime fami lies’Theleaders.Gran Caffe, according to its web site, was first established in 1979 and was later renovated into a gelateria in 2019, fol lowing the June 2018 grand opening of the state-of-the-art Regal movie theater on MerrickAccordingRoad.to the indictment, the illegal activities alleged to have taken place at the coffee shop stopped in January 2022. “I’m a little surprised,” Lynbrook Mayor Alan Beach said. “They never caused any issues in the village and peo ple go there frequently from the movie theater.”Steve Wangel, owner of The Kitchen Loft on Union Avenue, said he too was sur prised after hearing about the case on the news.“How could this go on in Lynbrook?” Wangel said. “We’re a very vibrant com munity that despite all the challenges with Covid-19 is still very prosperous.” He said the recent allegations against the local storefront operation are unfortu nate, but are not indicative of businesses in the community.
“The defendants tried to hide their criminal activity by operating from behind the cover of a coffee bar, a soccer club, and a shoe repair shop, but our Office and our law enforcement partners exposed their illegal operations,” Peace said in a “Evenstatement.moredisturbing is the shameful conduct of a detective who betrayed his oath of office and the honest men and women of the Nassau County Police Department when he allegedly aligned himself with criminals.” Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder told Newsday that the offi cers in his department have been helping the FBI with the investigation. Rosario was assigned to a restrictive assignment where he had no interaction with the pub lic.“Furthermore, he has been suspended without pay pending an administrative hearing,” Ryder said. “The Nassau Coun ty Police Department continues to have a zero tolerance approach toward any mem ber of the department who is involved in criminal activity.”
Polito has also been charged with oper ating an illegal online gambling scheme where bets were placed on sporting events through a website called “PGWLines.” In connection with his operation of PGW Lines, Polito was charged with attempting to extort an individual who lost several thousand dollars in bets he placed through the website.
operating local gambling ring gators
Since the Village of Lynbrook is cur rently working closely with builders of new luxury apartments on the site of the former Feather factory, a community eye sore for more than a decade, there is a pos sibility the population could increase over the next few years. Wangel added having more people mov ing into the village will help feed the ini tial demand by bringing in even more cus tomers. “However good things are now, it’s only going to get better.” Besides the Gran Caffe, members of the Genovese crime family were accused of operating illegal gambling parlors at establishments called Sal’s Shoe Repair in Merrick and Centro Calcio Italiano Club in West Babylon. The Bonanno crime fam ily, prosecutors said, also operated illegal parlors at establishments called the Soc cer Club in Valley Stream, and the La Nazionale Soccer Club, and Glendale Sports Club, both in Glendale, Queens.

Campbell, 26, is a lifelong East Rockaway resident and began competing when he joined the Lynbrook Titans wrestling program at age 8. His dream had always been to compete in combat sports at the highest level and he says that although the loss was a bump in the road, he still has the aim of getting to the UFC, but admits the road will be a lot tougher now.

WHILE CAmPBELL’s fIgHt in Vegas didn’t go his way, he is determined to comeback and show that he belongs among the best
Campbell knows the road will be tougher now but he still has his eyes on his ultimate goal “Life throws curve balls. It’s the only way to look at this as a positive. I’m going to show people what I’m made of and show I’m not a quitter.” he said. “It’s surely not as great as it would have been if I won, but if people think I’m down and out, they’re wrong.”
East Rockaway’s Charlie Campbell looks to the future after UFC fight ends in upset
It was a whirlwind of emotions for East Rockaway MMA fighter, Charlie Campbell after traveling to Vegas to achieve his long-time dream of becoming a UFC fight er. Through Campbell’s successful MMA career he was able to make enough noise in the fight scene to be invited to UFC President Dana White’s “Contender Series,” in Las Vegas a show that affords up-and-coming fighters the chance to showcase their talents in hope of earning a UFCCampbellcontract. went up against Scottish MMA fighter Chris Duncan as a part of White’s “Contender Series” on Aug. 2. While Duncan was repeatedly hurt by Campbell in the opening portion of the main event fight, Duncan was able to defeat Campbell via knockout 1:43 into Round 1 and was immediately granted a contract with UFC by White. Campbell,27, had a 6-1 pro MMA record going into the fight and was a slight betting favorite.

He’s down, but don’t count him out
WHILE HE AWAIts medical clearance to begin fighting again, Campbell has been promoting his suplex soap brand
HERALDROCKAWAYLYNBROOK/EAST—202225,August 8
Campbell plans to get back to the Northeast regional MMA fighting scene to build back momentum and hope fully compile an impressive record and regain attention. “When I’m healthy, I’m going to be promoting my come back,” he said. “I proved I belong. It may come down to me having to go get wins at the regional scene, build up some sort of win streak, and then just stay ready.”
Since Campbell returned he has also taken to Insta gram to promote a venture that he began a few years ago, Suplex Soap, a soap using primarily essential oils. “The soap is made here on Long Island out of a legitimately certified lab manufacturing company in Copiague. “A lot of everyday people are loving it for quality ingredients and it’s great for athletes that are exposed to harmful bacteria during training,” Campbell said. “It’s come a long way and the products are high quality so it’s easy to stand behind them and sell them.”
“A lot of emotions,” Campbell said about the result of the Contender Series bout. “ There are so many ways to look at it but ultimately, the mature thing is to point the finger at me.” Campbell was in control of the fight at the beginning but Duncan was able to come back to capture the knockout victory. Campbell praised the coaching he received going into the fight and cited the cause of the result as little mistakes on his part. “I was eager to win because I felt like I was so close to it. It seemed like the end was near for him. It’s just a lot for me to digest.” Campbell was able to enjoy the sights of Vegas in the days after the fight but now that he is back home, he admits the loss is even tougher to digest.
“I feel like my mind was in denial when I was still out there in Vegas for a few extra days afterward, but I’ve been home now. It hits me more and more,” he said.

Nunley’s Carousel returns to awe next generation
“I was one of those kids that grew up at Nunley’s,” he said. “On a Sunday, if we were really good, me and my three sisters and brother would be treated to going to Nunley’s,”Backthen, the Baldwin attraction fea tured roller coasters, games and, of course, the carousel.
Saving the carousel was pushed by then-Nassau County Legislator Joseph Scannell, who redirected $420,000 through county funds and through money raised by nonprofit Pennies for Ponies in 2008. The restoration process started a year beforehand by Carousel Works in Ohio, that largest manufacturer of wooden mer ry-go-rounds in the world. It then opened in 2009, spending the next 11 years run Cradle of Aviation. While Nunley’s Carousel may have spent more time in Baldwin than any where else, Gary Farkash — president of the Baldwin Historical Society — says the ride was too big for just any one single community to claim. “It was more than just Baldwin iconic, this was something that people from all over Nassau County came to enjoy,” he said. “It’s a very proud moment for us, especially Baldwin. It was a labor of love, and having this day for us, is priceless. That’s the only thing I could say: Price less.”
Part of indoor attraction at Long Island Children’s Museum
NuNley’s CAROusel Is a treasured memory for many in Nassau County and beyond, and is expected to continue influencing generations, now that it’s under operation by the Long Island Children’s Museum at Uniondale’s Museum Row.

“The highlight was always the carou sel,” Blakeman said. “It brings back so many childhood memories.”
lONg IslANd ChIldReN’s Museum president Suzanne LeBlanc addressed the eager children and adults alike waiting to ride the historic Nunley’s Carousel on its opening day on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard with Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman.
“The colors and lights and music and motion create an unforgettable multi-sen sory experience that will become part of the memories passed down through the generations,” LeBlanc said. Susan Harlin was one of the first peo ple in line last week to ride Nunley’s Car ousel once again. But it’s hardly her first time.“Oh, my goodness, I was probably about 10 — 57 years ago — the last time I rode the carousel,” she said. “I grew up in Roosevelt and we’d go to Nunley’s all the time. We’d lean out and get that golden ring so we could ride it again.”
The carousel is open from Thursday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets can be bought in advance online at the museum’s website at LICM.org/nunleys for $4.

Harlin’s adult daughter, Elizabeth Bock, said seeing it reopening reminded her of her mother, and she decided to take her two children, Evelyn and Thomas, for a ride the whole family could enjoy. Even Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman has own fond memories of driv ing with the family to Nunley’s. He joined Harlin and others last week to celebrate its reopening with the children’s museum.
operational control of Nunley’s Carousel from Cradle of Avia tion on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard was a smooth one, said Suzanne LeBlanc, the children’s museum director. Fitting into the museum’s mission of connecting children to a lifetime of won der, imagination and exploration, the car ousel is an excellent exercise in analyzing options and exploring sensations as chil dren choose the perfect horse to ride on their magical adventure.
T hey were large mechanical carou sels, populated by gorgeous woodcarved representations of horses with strong and aggressive manes, open mouths and batwing saddles. Named after the Brooklyn landmark that inspired them — Coney Island — Sol omon Stein and Harry Goldstein shipped out a number of these carousels across New York more than a century ago. Few of them still exist, but one particu lar carousel that would start its journey in Brooklyn’s Canarsie neighborhood before moving to Baldwin in 1940, not only remains, but is now part of a permanent attraction at Long Island Children’s Muse um at Uniondale’s Museum Row. Nunley’s Carousel returned to service last week, and spins once again on select days — and indoors — for $4 a ride. It gets is moniker from Nunley’s Amusement Park, where it was a fixture on Sunrise Highway until that park’s closure in 1995. Relocating it to the children’s museum took years in the making, having been pre viously part of the Cradle of Aviation operations next door. The carousel contin ued the Long Island tradition until Covid19 flared up a couple years ago, and had been closed ever since. That is until last week, when the muse um officially re-opened Nunley’s Carousel, and its fleet of more than 40 horses, a lion and two chariots. It is now one of only three Stein & Goldstein-manufactured car ousels still intact, and in 2020, was award ed the National Carousel Association’s Historic Carousel Award. Gary Grasso represented that very association during the grand re-opening, finally able to bequeath the plaque for the award over to the children’s museum inperson. Established to promote, preserve and appreciate the classic wooden carou sel, Grasso said Nunley’s is one of 50 clas sic carousels still operating. And even more impressive with its original band’s organ, ticket booth, Wurlitzer calliope, and ringTransitioningmachine.

As a preventative measure, to try and ensure the well-being of students, teach ers, and staff the Lynbrook Union Free School District is considering the addi tion of an armed security guard who could be stationed outside one of the schools should such an incident ever take place close to home.
“My greatest concern is an active shooter,” School Board President William Belmont said, “and the only response to an active shooter is someone else who has equal force to slow that down and to cur tail those activities.”

How much should a backpack weigh?

I can partner with you to design an effective, long-term plan to ensure that your child gets all that he or she requires to achieve academic success.” Dr. Helene H.

Backpacks are handy tools that carry an array of gear. Students rely on them to hold books, while hikers and campers utilize back packs to carry items such as food and beverages that keep them safe on trails. Even office workers may turn to backpacks to carry laptops or other tools of the Backpackstrade.are handy resources, especially for students, but overstuffed backpacks may causeHaulinginjury. full backpacks to and from school each day can be a real pain in the neck and back and shoulders. Yet backpacks are a school staple and a $2.7 billion industry for a rea son. Toting books and notepads and folders and other supplies is necessary to excel in school. So how can parents and students balance the need for backpacks with the potential for injury? Step one is to stop over-worrying about long-term damage. “A lot of parents come in to my office thinking that their child might have scoliosis because of a heavy backpack,” says Dr. Lori Karol. Though back, shoulder and neck pain are all possible results from using a too-heavy or poorly worn backpack, scoliosis and other back deformities aren’t a danger.
Pockets on backpacks are both fun and functional. Having multiple compartments will better distribute the weight of the school sup plies, and they can help your son or daughter stay organized. Bigger books should always be placed in the center of the back, and items such as cell phones and other devices can be easily moved from smaller pockets to lockers during breaks.Another option is a backpack on wheels. They can be dragged, alleviating the need to carry heavy loads.
Above photo: Backpacks are here to stay, so make sure your kid knows how to stay organized and safe.
Weighty Considerations Learning how backpacks affect our bodies helps explain why parents worry. According to registered nurse Anja Hammega, “when a heavy weight, such as a backpack filled with books, is incorrectly placed on the shoulders, the weight’s force can pull a child backward. To compensate for this unnatural posture, he or she may bend forward at the hips or arch the back.” Similarly, kids who sling their backpacks only on one shoulder might lean to one side to balance the weight, compressing the spine or putting unnat ural stress on the shoulders. The effect of this unbalanced stance can be mistaken for scoliosis. Beyond back pain, kids are also at risk of fall ing from the weight of their packs. Keep your kid’s load light by making sure his or her back pack weighs between 10 and 15 percent of his or her body weight. For example, if your son weighs 80 pounds, his backpack should only be 8 to 12 pounds. Younger children and girls are at even greater risk of toppling over because their packs can be heavier in proportion to their body weight. When carrying too-heavy backpacks, students can accidentally hit other kids with their sizable bags, causing injury or loss of bal ance in tight spaces such as hallways or bus aisles,Thetoo.weight of a backpack depends on the age of the person using it. Generally speaking, adults should not exceed 20 percent of total body mass when loading backpacks. That means a healthy person weighing 200 pounds should not carry more than 40 pounds in his or her backpack.Inregard to children, researchers indicate that a child’s backpack should weigh no more than 10 percent of what the student weighs. Those findings are based on a Spanish study involving 49 primary school-aged children. Therefore, if a child weighs 70 pounds, he or she should only carry up to 7 pounds in the back pack. Choose Wisely Start the year off right by purchasing a back pack that fits your child well and by teaching him or her the right way to wear it. Avoid backpacks with careless stitching, fraying fabric edges and exposed zippers without fabric flaps. These are signs of poor manufacturing, and no kid wants to be dealing with a stuck zipper or a broken bag in the middle of the school hallway. Instead, find a lightweight one with two pad ded shoulder straps. If the straps are too narrow, they can cut into your child’s shoulders, poten tially interfering with circulation and causing pain or numbness. A padded back can provide comfort and protect your kid from sharp edges of textbooks, rulers, notebooks and more. The backpack should rest evenly in the middle of the back, close to the body. And those wide shoulder straps should allow your child to freely move his or her arms to easily take the backpack off.

It’s a family affair
Photo: Family involvement is the number one predictor of early literacy success and future academic achievement.
Raising literate kids
Back-to-school it’s a hectic time full of shopping, preparation and new routines. But just because children are headed back to school doesn’t mean that parents should stop teaching their children. And just because life is hectic doesn’t mean you can’t make time to improve their literacy skills.You may feel that there isn’t enough time to add more activities to an already packed 24 hours. But these ideas, courtesy of the of National Center for Family Literacy, take just a minute! Choose a letter of the day. Look for the chosen letter in any printed materials you see the newspaper, labels at the grocery store, street signs, billboards or advertise ments on TV. Make up a silly sentence using only words beginning with the letter of the day. (For example, cats can cuddle. Dogs don’t drive. Amy always acts awake.) Singing songs is certainly a literacy activity. Try this twist: Sing short songs like “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” several times, leaving off the last word each time until there are no words left. This activity always produces giggles from children and par ents alike. Do a letter search. While you’re wait ing for the bagel to toast, have your child look for the letter B on any items on your kitchen counter or table. Count as many as possible before the toaster pops. Play “Guess Who.” Describe a cartoon character, celebrity or historical figure. Allow a guess after each detail is disclosed. Expand your child’s vocabulary by using unusual words, and then explain their meaning. Take turns. Listen carefully to your child’s descriptions, especially his choice of vocabulary. Encourage him to paint a pic ture of the character with his words. At the end of the game, compliment him on any unusual or new words used. Do word-based activities while in the car. While stuck in traffic, describe the view from the car by taking “word turns.” The activity is as easy as the name suggests. Parent and child each add a word until the scene is described. (A… yellow… convert ible… with… a… golden… retriever… in… the… back… seat… is… next… to… our… car.) This activity works well on a walk around the block or while waiting in line too. Talk to your child about her day. Pretend to be a television reporter. Try questions like “what was the most surpris ing (curious, funny, eventful) thing that happened today?” Or gather news for the paper.“If your day’s activities were an article in the newspaper, what would the headline be?” You are giving your child opportuni ties to increase vocabulary, recall and reflect, and you are receiving a more detailed version of the time you spent apart. Be prepared to answer the same questions.
Former Hempstead town supervisor wins primary
“Tonight, voters spoke loud and clear that they want a representative who will fight tooth and nail against GOP politicians in Washington,” Gillen said in a statement following the win. She also decried Republicans “who want to pass a national abortion ban without exceptions to rape, incest, or even if the woman’s life is in danger.”
Finally, physician Muzib Huq from Elmont captured a little more than 1 percent of the vote. He had campaigned on improving the American health care system, champi oning racial and religious tolerance, and investing in anemic local and national infrastructure. While the fourth district is forecasted to safely lean Democrat by some, other pollsters — like McLaughlin & Associ ates — say D’Esposito had the best chance of claiming the seat if Gillen was his opponent.
“Health care decisions — including basic birth control — are between a woman and her doctor, not by Washington politicians trying to score political points with their extremist base. We cannot allow women to be stripped of their civil liberties and autonomy over their health care decisions.”

“Laura Gillen tried to hike your taxes as town supervisor,” D’Esposito said on Twitter. “She would do it again in Congress.”Gillen has stated that repealing restrictions to state and local tax deductions passed in 2017 is one of her immediate priorities. She also voiced support for universal background checks on gun purchases to help curb crime and violence, while calling for expanded voting rights.Early results showed Nassau County Legislator Carrié Solages in second with 16 percent of votes. wSolages advocated for an aggressive foreign policy, tax incentives for small businesses, and expanding protections forKeithwomen.Corbett had 14 percent of the vote.

Laura Gillen is a step closer to claiming the open U.S. House seat left vacant by Kathleen Rice.
The 52-year-old Rockville Centre resident had been a favorite to win, endorsed by Rice as well as a number of major Democratic Party figures, including House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and House Democratic Caucus chair Hakeem Jeffries. She now faces Hempstead town councilman Anthony D’Esposito in the Nov. 8 general election. He ran unopposed on the Republican ticket. D’Esposito took Gillen to task on social media soon after she declared victory, calling her “Joe Biden’s choice to support his inflation boosting tax plan.”

Kids can make, view and talk about art, through Sunday, Sept. 4, with four Indigenous artists at Long Island Children’s Museum. Toyuskanash, the Algonquin word for bridges, brings together artists from the Shinnecock Nation to explore their traditional and contemporary culture and how they bridge gaps in history and knowledge with surrounding communities.

M ost shootings are over in two to three minutes. The active shooter kills who they have to kill, and usually they kill themselves after.
Patrick ryder Nassau County Police Department Commissioner
Belmont refuted his claim stating that the schools he mentioned just hap pened to have armed guards present, but were not targeted because of the fact.“The only thing I will tell you is that at no time has this district ever consid ered putting armed guards inside the buildings,” Belmont said. Board members continued to explain that they were specifically dis cussing the potential of placing an armed guard outside one of the schools with the specific purpose of preventing one specific and terrifying situation fromSchoolsunfolding.Superintendent Melissa Burak said that the resolution on the table that night was only to replicate their existing security plan and that they would have to continue to discuss the possible addition of an armed secu rity guard at their next meeting on Sep temberFinding14. it pertinent to begin the screening process for additional per sonnel, the board reconvened on Aug. 15 for a special meeting, where they voted to establish a total of three secu rity aide positions at the high school and six additional unarmed, uniformed security aide positions to be placed at each of the buildings in the district.
He said the number one issue is the response time of police should an inci dent occur, which could take anywhere from six to 14 minutes for them to arrive on the scene. “Most shootings are over in two to three minutes,” Nassau County Police Department Commissioner Patrick Ryder told the Herald during a school safety seminar in May. “The active shooter kills who they have to kill, and usually they kill themselves after.”

Lewner suggested they first address the addition of an unarmed guard at every building first and then discuss potentially having an armed presence stationed at each school. “I don’t disagree,” Trustee Tara Aragona said. “I definitely think we should start with the unarmed guards. It’s August. School is going to start in a month and I think parents in the com munity would love to see security pres ent at each building.” She suggested that they discuss potentially having armed security offi cers at a future meeting, but focus on starting with the school year off with the district norms. “I think that that’s a decision that needs to be carefully thought out, have the full board present and do it at a meeting when it’s not the summer in the community and everybody could be there,” Vice President Ellen Marcus suggested.However not everyone in the audi ence was so keen with the idea of hav ing an armed security officer presence.
Robert Faskoff, a former board trust ee, said that based on a study from a Rutgers University professor, he found there was no evidence that having an armed security guard reduces shoot ings or “Armedviolence.guards create more fear in kids than actually feeling safer,” Fas koff said. “There’s a lot more informa tion out there that does not support armed guards in school. I’m very happy that you guys are looking at security, but there’s really no research that talks about the benefit of having armed guards in Faskoffschool.”saidthe most common end ing to school shootings happen when unarmed staff restrained the gunmen, adding that the events are rare and dif ficult to anticipate. He said that while it is unusual for bystanders or police to be in the right place at the right time, several school shooting incidents occurred in loca tions where an armed guard was pres ent, including Marjory Stoneman Doug las High School in Florida, Great Mills High School in Maryland, Santa Fe High School in Texas and Robb Elemen tary in Uvalde, Texas. “I disagree with your conclusion that there’s no evidence out there,” Bel mont replied. “Like everyone who makes an argument, we always find the evidence that supports our position.”
Board discusses school security protocol important to have an armed guard at each building, because the reality is no matter what we do in terms of mental health screening, security, locked doors, bulletproof glass, single entryway, there’s always a possibility of some body getting through.”

FOLLOwiNg thE wEEkEND’s drill festivities, fire departments from across New York took part in a parade, that made its way down Bedford Avenue in Bellmore.
thE NORth BELLmORE Fire Department had the honor of hosting the parade and drill.
The parade, which started at the inter section of Bellmore Road and Bellmore Avenue, and ended on Pettit Avenue by the Long Island Rail Road station, was free to Theattend.winning team was the Islip Wolves and in second through fifth place was the West Sayville Flying Dutchmen, the Cen tral Islip Hoboes, the North Lindenhurst Piston Knockers and the Hagerman Gam blers.White said he felt that North Bellmore hosting the event was good for both the department members, and the communi ty. “I think it’s a good inspiration — it brings life to (drill),” he said. “It’s good for the community. It brings the world back together. Post-Covid, things are going back to normal, and this is helpful.”
The championship had been a few years in the making, amid complications caused by the coronavirus pandemic. White said North Bellmore learned it would host the tournament two years ago, but everything was postponed. The department had been planning last week end’s event for about 10-months he said, after it received word that the tournament would be taking place. Though sometimes an old-fashioned drill competition will also take place at certain competitions, this weekend’s event was only motorized drill. A small fee of $10 was charged to enter the drill on Saturday, in addition to refreshments and souvenirs being sold.

Q. Our attic air conditioning leaked into our ceil ing. The ceiling is so wet we need to replace it. We now understand we’ll need to have the pipe that drains water out of our A.C. drain pan blown out every spring, and now have a service contract for that. The insulation is also wet. We were told to let it dry out and it will be fine. Is this true? Also, the ceil ing joists over our 12-foot-wide master bedroom are only 2 x 6, which might cause the ceiling to sag and isn’t enough for the insulation, we’re told, which we understand has to be 10 inches thick. When we asked our contractor about this, he told us we can push the insulation down and then replace the plywood floor in our attic. What do you think?
In addition, the insulation should be inspected to see that it isn’t compressed by the saturation weight of the water, since compressing insulation, contrary to what you were told, actually takes away the ability for it to work properly. The principle behind insulation technology isn’t just the use of thermally resistant material but, most critically, the insulation forms tiny air pockets within the material that form the resistance to air passing through. Each trapped air bubble slows the transfer of cold or heat by first conducting or resisting the temperature change within the air molecules.

Heat moves by one of three mechanical princi ples, convection, conduction and radiation. If the air bubbles or pockets in the insulation are pressed closer together and the material made denser by this, the conduction or transfer of temperature is easier, so the insulation has less likelihood of resisting, and resisting is what you want insulation to do. It would be great to rebuild the floor with deeper joists or have closed-cell foam sprayed in, since it also resists water saturation to solve the problem. Good luck!
waterproblemscauses
A. When it rains, it pours. The leaking was a wakeup call that A.C. unit condensation occurs every summer season, and even though you have a drain pan, if it doesn’t have a working sensor to shut off before the drain pan overflows and you never clean the drain pan pipe to the outdoors, the water overflows. You should, by law (code), have a floor in the attic around the unit, also, which can dry out, since it remains structural, and will be minimally affected by the water. The insulation and the sheetrock are another story. If the sheetrock hasn’t loosened and isn’t sag ging, then it can just be left to dry out. Make cer tain, even using a moisture meter, that the sheet rock is completely dry before repainting to avoid potential mildew and discoloration. The insulation, if it is either fiberglass or closed-cell foam, can be dried out also, but only if it can be exposed. This means removing the plywood flooring above so that air can get to the insulation.

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

eing a college trustee for 30 years, I have kept a close eye on trends in the field of higher edu cation. I’m happy to see that many of our institutions are introducing new courses that reflect the changes that are happening. There are plenty of jobs for engineers and many schools, like Hofs tra, have created comprehensive pro grams to thereshortage?suchones.gramslongermanyofcriticalthereanticipateddents.engineeringattractstuButIneverthatwouldbeashortageteachers,andcollegesnohaveprototrainnewWhydowehaveanationalSadly,aretoomany reasons. If you follow the news, you’ll learn that the state of Florida needs 8,000 teachers, but no one is rushing to work in the Sunshine State. The politicians, not the colleges, caused Florida’s dilemma. Florida has passed multiple laws govern ing what can be taught in the classroom, and numerous school boards are asking residents which books they want removed from library shelves. Those conditions alone would discourage a teacher or any student thinking about getting an educa tionFearingdegree.for their personal safety, teach ers and education students are also shun ning states such as Texas. Since the recent tragedy in Uvalde, in which 19 students and two teachers were killed, some state officials have been suggesting that schoolteachers bring a gun to class. Why would a col lege-bound student consider teaching as a profession if they had to take firearm training to qualify for a job? In addition, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is in the process of suggesting revisions to the schoolPerhapscurriculum.thebiggest disin centive for potential new teachers is salary levels around the coun try. If you live in New York, Massachu setts, California or Alaska, starting sala ries are attractive enough for possible can didates. But Missouri, as an example, has an average starting salary of $33,200, and the legislature has failed to appropriate any fresh dollars to increase it. Because salaries in some 14 states are so low, teach ers are forced to take second jobs in order to survive.

JKremer@liherald.com. p erhaps the country.aroundsalarydisincentivebiggestislevelsthe in 1957, 10-year-old me started sixth grade at the Number Three School in Cedarhurst, in Mrs. Haggerty’s class. No one in that snapshot is still stand ing but me. The Number Three School is now a yeshiva, Mrs. Haggerty presumably is in teacher heaven, and 1957 is now 2022. I was the new kid in class. We had just moved “out to the Island” from Queens. It wasn’t an easy transition for a spot,”gaveTwoclass,hadthegirl.pipsqueaksuper-sensitiveofaBytheendoffirstweek,IcriedtwiceinandinWeekthemeangirlsmethe“blackwhicheveryonewho’sread“TreasureIsland”knowsisfatal:You’llbedeadby the end of the day. I didn’t die, but that’s only a technicali ty. This all comes back to me as we begin the new school year after over two years of home schooling, Zoom classes and dys functional education amid the coronavi rus pandemic. Our kids and grandkids are survivors of a massively destabilizing sea son of social distancing and quarantining and mask wearing. Parents, too, have gone through their own version of hell. Therefore, two things are going on at the same time. On one level, nothing has changed, and on every other level, every thing has changed. I asked my grandkids how they’re feeling about going back to school, the pluses and the minuses, and they all said the same thing. They’re looking forward to seeing other kids, and they’re worried about doing well after this disruptive hiatus.In1957 that was what I wanted, too. I wanted the kids to like me, and I hoped to find some friends. So are we all good? The schools will open, the children will get to see one another, and learning will take place. But that is only if we ignore the rip ple effects of these years of deprivation and isolation. Look around. Smell the air. Feel the vibe. Check in with your stress-o-meter. This back-to-school year is different from other years. In the same way that the pan demic changed our way of living for over two years, it will change our path forward, too.Like most other Americans, I am so relieved that our kids and grandkids are going back to the classroom, in person, with real teachers for a full day. But nor malcy is a relative thing. There are children suffering from school anxiety. We have a mental health crisis among our teenagers. For good rea son, children are afraid of getting sick, getting shot, or failing at their schoolwork. Some friends report that their elementary school grandkids don’t want to go back to school. Their bed room has become their safe place.We need parents and teachers to be monitoring the re-entry process. And parents, too, need support and the comfort of realizing they have survived an unprecedented national and global catastrophe. Parents haven’t ever had to home-school and work from home while trying to stay alive. We are returning to school at a time when ad hoc groups in communities across America are deciding what books school libraries can purchase. They are banning material they deem unsuitable, with references to gender or sexuality or race. Many teachers are demoralized by this random oversight, and we need to pay attention to the political tides in our schoolWho’sdistricts.goingto pay for all the school supplies and technology that is now part of public education? In 1957, my black and white composition book cost 20 cents. Today the average family spends $800 or more per child on back-to-school shop ping. Amazon is selling the composition book for $11.99. How will individual schools navigate this nearly post-pandemic time? There are the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and then there’s real life. We don’t know yet how treatment of Covid surges will be handled. During their isolation and down time, our kids have become increasingly con nected to their phones. Many mental health professionals see this as an addic tion, and the connection to social media as an impediment to interpersonal commu nication and relationships. How will schools deal with the phone issue? The devices have become a kind of secondary umbilical cord during the school day. We need to take a step back and let our children resume the level of personal responsibility they had before the restric tions of the pandemic. They can do it, and we can, too. We cheer our kids as they return to the classroom. We are mindful that they have been through something, and that they carry more than books in their backpacks.
opinions Help Wanted: teachers needed badly
A National Education Associa tion 2021 survey found that the national average for entry-level teacher pay is $41,000, and experienced teachers on aver age earn $64,000.
More than a dozen people are dying of the disease in New York each day, on average, and even if you survive, there are still a number of other complications that can be outright debilitating long after you recover from the initial infection, like long Covid. And many people we interact with are considered “vulnerable,” meaning they may not be able to fight the virus like the rest of us. So wear a mask when you’re around someone who might be more at risk. Wear one in large groups, especially indoors. And if someone starts showing symptoms, know exactly how you can help stop the spread without disrupting your life.Each day brings us closer to our normal lives, so long as we don’t forget what upended all of them in the first place.
To the ThankEditor:you for Kyle Chin’s “Could toll lanes fix parkway’s ‘Blood Alley’?” (Aug. 11-17). This story reports on a critical local issue that readers should be aware of. The Long Island Contractors Association and State Assembly woman Michaelle Solages, a Demo crat and the Assembly’s deputy majority leader, are promoting a plan to add High Occupancy Toll lanes to the Southern State Parkway, ostensibly to reduce the number of accidents and deaths on the thor oughfare. The proposal does not explain precisely how the addition of HOTs would do so, though, except perhaps for those traveling in the lanes, which would be open only to single-occupancy drivers who could afford the tolls or those in high-occu pancy vehicles (carpoolers). Among the greatest causes of accidents on the SSP are excessive speed and drunken driving. How would HOTs reduce either?

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

Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosen berg Calica & Birney in 1999.
Another seasoned politician, New York City mayor Eric Adams, has actually joined Republican lawmakers in demand ing that the State Legislature address the crisis. Not surprisingly, the progressivedominated Legislature declined Adams’s call for an emergency session. He told reporters, “We’re not talking about some one that steals an apple. We’re talking about someone that has repeatedly used violence in our city: robberies, grand lar cenies, burglaries, shootings, carrying a gun.”Hochul will not be alone on the ballot this November. Long Island state senators who voted with their progressive col leagues are going to be asked by voters why they “went along” on progressive leg islation that is now destroying a funda mental principle of American life: free dom from fear.

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

Tejinder Singh was arrested for alleg edly throwing bricks through the win dows or windshields of 27 cars parked in East Meadow during a three-day vandal ism spree. He was released without bail just hours after his arrest. Hochul is no political neophyte. While she has a massive political war chest and solid poll numbers, all of that can go south quickly if the summer of crime becomes the autumn of anger, especially on voterrich Long Island. When the governor spoke before the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police’s annual conference, she told her audience she would support and fully fund law enforcement. But what does that mean when the destruction of bail laws by Alba ny has led to an explosion of street crime?

The State Department of Transporta tion proposed a plan 20 years ago to widen and add bus lanes to the Southern State.The agency quietly dropped it, howev er, in the face of strong opposition by environmentally conscious civic groups like the Massapequa-based Long Island Progressive Coalition, which was con cerned about the destruction of green spaces.Wealso must ask how the Southern State’s accident statistics compare with other thoroughfares throughout the region, like the Northern State Parkway or the Long Island Expressway. The LIE is about as wide and straight as a road can be, with High Occupancy Vehicle lanes, and yet it remains plagued by acci dents — and congestion. History tells us that adding lanes only increases traffic — and Finally,crashes.who authored and funded the report on HOTs for the Southern State — LICA, the state, a third party or a combi nation thereof? It’s unclear in Chin’s story, but it’s an important question. LICA represents the interests of build ers, not the hundreds of thousands of South Shore residents who would be affected for years by a costly and terrainaltering undertaking such as this. Where are the voices of local residents?SCOTTBRINTON Merrick Randi got it right again
To the Editor: Re Randi Kreiss’s column “Florida Gov. DeSantis: teachers need to be educat ed (Aug. 11-17): Thank you, Randi! I am in a family with teachers, as are a number of friends. I am an art therapist (also licensed by New York state) and teach on a graduate level. I resent it when people say, “Those who can do, do, and those who can’t do, teach.” I, like most of us who have gone through a lot of schooling, have had the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to teachers. I’ve had teachers who phone it in, and those whose every word I’ve hung onto, savored and quoted throughout my life. To be so naive as to think that all you need is a mentor (and I am sure veterans have lots of spare time) to be able to man age a classroom and teach a subject that you don’t know is sheer idiocy. I have seen “professionals” practice outside their scope of expertise more times than I would like to. I know that there are other types of therapists who believe that all you need is a box of Cray olas and you’re good to go. One of the problems with being ignorant is that you don’t have the knowledge or insight to know that you’re ignorant. But that being said, Randi did make a very valid point. With an uneducated con stituency, Florida’s governor Ron DeSan tis has a better chance of being re-elected. As, my son, a police officer, would say, “felony stupidity.” And unlike Covid, there is still no cure for stupid. Keep on calling it as you see it, Randi.
