passion for performing that’s been ingrained in Cassidy since attending Holy Trinity High School, it only made sense that the arts enthusiast become a theater teacher herself. However, Cassidy didn’t always see it that way. Her original plan at Penn

State was to focus on acting and direction, but as she learned more about theater and took an education class, Cassidy realized her love was in teaching. Now, she looks forward to imparting on her students all she is able to learn during her time overseas.

“I want to look at parts of theater that I had never really studied before,” she said. “I’m curious to see out of those plays [that we will be studying], are there any scenes or monologues that I can bring back to my kids, new types of theater, new styles, new interpretations of old works that I can show my students or we can analyze?” As Cassidy prepares for her two-week excursion in August, she commented that she’s simply excited to be a student again, rather than her usual role of teaching others. “I want to see some real weird stuff. I want to be surprised, I want to be shocked,” she proposed, “It’s cool to be recognized and to get this opportunity, and I just hope I can really take advantage of every ounce of it.” What do you think of Cassidy?

In an effort to Broadway Commons. bring shoppers into the mall, Oweazim Oweazim led an enlightening discusis constantly working on securing special sion on the current state of shopping events and creating opportunities for malls and what it means to leave in an word to spread through social media.

“People come in, but how do you translate that to people making purchases?” Oweazim questioned. In the halway outside of IKEA, there is a mural of a pair of wings—perfect for young people looking to post an artistic “selfie” to their Instagram account. Through tagging their photo with location information, more people will see what Broadway Commons has to offer and are more likely to visit the shopping mall. Through hosting carnivals and events like National Night Out, and working with tenants to promote sales and special deals, an increased amount of foot traffic is brought to the mall in the hope that those patrons will make some purchases.

Oweazim also commented that as we are living in a digital age, it is crucial to recognize the best ways to disseminate information to the various generations that visit Broadway Commons. While younger people will happily sign up for emails and text messages, older crowds, like morning mall walkers and stroller walkers, would rather have a physical flier handed to them. After Oweazim concluded her presentation, guests were welcomed to ask questions and promote their own goings-on. One man questioned the current state of the proposed Seritage mixed-use development at the former Sears site. A representative stated that they are working on getting input from the Town of Oyster Bay and will be coming back to the public with another design in the “foreseeable future.”

Composer Joe Iconis Makes Broadway History BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA kdijkstra@antonmediagroup.com

When Be More Chill opened on Broadway in March, it was a dream come true for Joe Iconis. The Garden City native wrote the music and lyrics for the musical comedy adapted from the young adult novel of the same name by Ned Vizzini. The story of how this musical made it to the Broadway stage—the Lyceum Theatre stage, no less—is unlike any other, thanks to the fans who identified with the material so much, they wouldn’t let it fade into obscurity. “We...talk about anxiety and depression and these things that plague our society, but we...do it through this unexpected sci-fi comedy lens,” he said, and he has gotten nothing but positive feedback from fans who see parts of themselves in the characters. “I’ve been lucky enough to meet [many] Be More Chill fans in person…So many young people come up to me and say ‘Thank you for making something that feels celebratory, while still dealing with all of these issues that I go through.’” That’s what makes Be More Chill stand out from the crowd. Though

it’s about an ingestible super-computer that teaches its teenage host to ‘be more chill,’ there’s a lot going on, and depth that might be easy to miss at first glance. Following the run at Two River Theater in New Jersey in 2015, Be More Chill was effectively dead, living on only through the cast recording and tales of those fortunate enough to have seen the original production. A YouTube video of “Michael in the Bathroom,” the catchy and emotional anthem of the show, posted in 2017 went viral and essentially created the demand that this show return to the stage—which it did OffBroadway in 2018. Iconis has been rewarded for his efforts with a Tony Award nomination for best original score, as well as Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk nominations. The composer

and lyricist refers to his musical as a celebration of suburban weirdness. “We wanted it to play out in malls and in bathrooms and in house parties and backstage at high school auditoriums, which is my youth,” Iconis said. “I was definitely thinking about Roosevelt Field when I was writing the mall stuff.” Musical theater has been a part of Iconis’ life since childhood. Though his family was not in the industry, they fostered his love of theater. He also credits the music education offered by the Garden City school district with shaping his future. “I don’t know where I would be if I didn’t have that access to music as a kid,” he said. In junior high, Iconis participated in the musicals by playing piano in the pit. He later learned to “properly exploit his love of the-

ater” by becoming the musical director for the Garden City Community Theatre and running the Hofstra Musical Theater Summer Camp. Since then, he’s written quite a few cabaret shows and musicals, including The Black Suits, about a Long Island high school garage band, and several more on the horizon. Broadway Bounty Hunter will open this July at the Greenwich House Off-Broadway. The musical written for Annie Golden tells the story of a theater actress of a certain age who is down on her luck and feeling the effects of a sexist, ageist society. “Through a series of events, she gets wrapped up in the world of bounty hunting [and begins] an adventure to South America to capture a drug lord,” Iconis explained. “It’s told in the style of exploitation films of the ’70s so it has this really cool R&B, funk score.” Stay tuned for Love in Hate Nation and The Unauthorized Hunter S. Thompson Musical, as well as a Be More Chill movie. For the latest, Visit mrjoeiconis.com and bemorechillmusical.com.

Why I’m Running For Congress BY MICHAEL WEINSTOCK

I’m running for Congress because my congressman didn’t just let me down, he made me angry. My congressman is Tom Suozzi, and last year, Tom Suozzi helped a sexual predator get released from prison. Congressman Suozzi’s friend is a Long Island politician named Gerard Terry. Mr. Terry is sitting in jail, because he failed to pay his taxes for 15 years. But, more importantly, Congressman Suozzi’s friend has a long history of pressuring young people for sex in exchange for government jobs. How do I know? Because I was one of the young people he pressured for sex. When I was a student, I volunteered on Carolyn McCarthy’s campaign for Congress. Carolyn McCarthy inspired me. She ran for Congress after her husband was killed and her son was wounded in the Long Island Rail Road shooting. Carolyn made me feel good about New York—and proud to be from Long Island. Terry had seen me around during the campaign, and he got to know me a little. A couple of weeks after we won, Terry invited me to meet with him at his law firm near the Roosevelt Field Mall. This was the first time he propositioned me for sex. Terry said that he would be happy to help me get a job in Carolyn McCarthy’s office. “She never would have gotten elected if it wasn’t for me,” he boasted. “I got her on the ballot.” Terry told me that I had a very promising future in local politics, and I was elated when he told me that he wanted to be my mentor, because he knew that my parents weren’t around. That’s when things got a little bit creepy. After complimenting my intellect and my work ethic, Terry told me that I was “a very handsome young man. And such a good dresser.” I thought these remarks were a little peculiar, but I really wanted the job so I convinced myself that his compliments were perfectly normal. “As your mentor,” he explained, “I want to spend lots of time with you. I want to take you on overnight trips and open doors for you.” And then, things really went off the rails. “I want to do things with you

Michael Weinstock speaks with then-Senator Hillary Clinton at Ground Zero on Sept. 15, 2001. that you’ve never done before.” Terry frightened the hell out of me that day. I didn’t think I was gay—and I certainly didn’t think I was giving off a gay vibe. This was back in 1996, when thousands of gay men and women were being kicked out of the military. To make matters worse, Terry was a powerful, married man with a wife and kids. He was playing a very dangerous game, and he scared the crap out of me. I decided to stay far away from Long Island politics. After graduating from law school, I became a prosecutor in Brooklyn, where I asked to be assigned to the Special Victim’s Bureau. I only agreed to volunteer on another Long Island political campaign because a friend of mine was running for judge, and she asked for my help going door-to-door and collecting signatures. When I returned to the office one evening, I foolishly let my guard down. I walked into Terry’s office all alone, even though the sun had already set. After a little chit chat, Terry grasped my forearm and told me, “I want to see more of you.” I squirmed away and ran to the door. While I was running to the elevator, Terry stood in the door frame of his office, pointing his finger at me and shouting, “I remember who my friends are, Michael. You ask around.” I avoided the man like cancer. Every year or two, I would Google his name, because I knew it was only a matter of time until he was arrested. And, sure enough, it finally happened. In 2017, Terry was arrested and indicted. Even though he held seven different government jobs

and made a fortune of money, he owed the government $1.4 million in back taxes. And, then, something unexpected happened. Congressman Tom Suozzi got involved. He wrote a personal letter to the federal judge. Congressman Suozzi described an important friendship going back 30 years, and he assured the judge that Terry was a good person “with deep empathy for others.” I was thunderstruck that my congressman would write a letter of support for a sexual predator. I had been telling people about my personal experience for more than a year. I met with an FBI agent and spoke with a prosecutor. I also told my local assemblyman. I even told Jay Jacobs, the chairman of the Nassau County Democratic Party. Nonetheless, Congressman Suozzi decided to pull strings and get his friend out of jail. There are only two options: 1. Congressman Suozzi knew his friend was a sexual predator, and he chose to look the other way; or 2. Congressman Suozzi was too lazy to pick up the phone and check with law enforcement before writing a letter of support for a convicted felon. If Suozzi had done his due diligence, he would have spoken with Leslie Gross, the former clerk of the Town of North Hempstead. Ms. Gross once went to a neighbor’s house and cautioned the couple that their high school–age son would be in grave danger if he ever went into Terry’s office after dark. Shortly after Suozzi’s support was made public, Terry was spotted in the local courthouse. He decided to resume practicing law,

even though he was a convicted felon and his law license was revoked. Practicing law without a license is a felony, and I was certain that Suozzi would show some leadership and withdraw his letter of support. It never happened. Congressman Suozzi continued to support his friend. Suozzi says he deserves a free pass on this one, because there were plenty of other politicians who protected Terry after his convictions. He’s wrong, of course. There’s nothing good about our politicians getting arrested and protecting one another. When Terry was finally sentenced to prison, the U.S. attorney was furious. The U.S. attorney told the judge that the letters submitted by Suozzi, along with other politicians, prove that “The political class on Long Island takes care of itself.” The U.S. attorney is 100 percent correct—and that’s why I’m challenging Tom Suozzi for the Democratic nomination for Congress. Unlike Suozzi, I don’t have family connections, and I don’t have a sense of entitlement. I still have school loans and I’ve never run for office. But, I believe in what I’m doing. I know that New York is the best place in the world—and I know that my childhood role model, Governor Mario Cuomo, would never write a personal letter to a federal judge and try to get his friends released from prison. If elected, I will become the first 9/11 firefighter elected to Congress and the first openly gay person to represent New York City in Congress. I will also become the only openly gay man holding elective office on Long Island. And, I hope to become a role model for all young people. I believe in New York. I believe in a place where a teenager with two distracted parents can join a volunteer fire department and find a family. I believe in a place that showed far more love than hate after 9/11. It’s time to elect leaders who represent the best of New York. Michael Weinstock is a former prosecutor, a former firefighter and a candidate for Congress.

COLUMN It’s A Woman’s Right I recently got into a debate with a few friends on social media. The debate concentrated on a woman’s right to choose. Please understand that my views do not reflect that of this paper. I’m going out on a limb here by stating that I stand behind my beliefs. I believe that a woman has the right to choose whether she wishes to have an abortion. And that choice should not be illegal. Way back when I was a new nurse at then Mid Island Hospital, I had been assigned a patient who was scheduled for a voluntary abortion. She was frightened out of her skull, especially because she had been shunned by her mother. Her mother was a devout Catholic who believed that the fetus in her daughter’s uterus was worthy of life. Her daughter had been the victim of a date rape and did not wish to have the reminder of that horrific night for the rest of her days. The mother verbally assaulted my patient, who was reduced to a puddle of

SEE YOU AROUND THE TOWN Patty Servidio

tears by the time I arrived in the room with the consent. Eager to protect my patient, I removed her mother immediately. As I calmed my patient, I prepared her for what lie ahead, her mother’s words still ringing in my ears. I tried very hard not to be judgmental toward her mother, and I even attempted to explain the necessity of the procedure, which fell on deaf ears. However, as a healthcare professional and a woman, I was furious beyond words. Abortion is the termination

of pregnancy, and it is an approved procedure that’s also known as “induced abortion” or “induced miscarriage.” It is one of the safest procedures in medicine. The World Health Organization recommends safe and legal abortions be available to all women. Abortion is not a form of birth control because one forgot to take proper precautions. I do not promote abortion for this purpose. However, it’s important to bear in mind that, in the cases of rape and incest, it’s a necessity. A child born to a traumatized victim could become a victim of neglect. Victims of sexual assault and incest should always be given the option of abortion. When a woman’s life is in danger, abortion is vital, lest both the fetus and the mother perish. In cases of incest, one must put the needs of the impregnated before the needs of the fetus. Most victims of incest are children themselves, and do not have any business raising

Women and Teens

children. This should go without saying, but there are some who disagree. And we can agree to disagree here. Regardless of the reason, a woman should have the power and control over what happens to her own body, including abortion.

It’s not up to the masses to decide for a woman. It’s her body, it’s her choice. Alabama, which ranks 47th in terms of female representation, has signed an anti-abortion law into effect. Alabama’s Governor Kay Ivey, who signed the ban that makes it a felony for a physician to perform all abortions (except when the mother’s life is in danger), made no exception for cases of rape or incest. Georgia intends to vote on a ban shortly, and 41 states have tried to pass abortion

restrictions this year. Have government officials conveniently forgotten that a woman has the right to choose what happens to her body? State-made decisions for abortion are unconstitutional and a blatant disregard of human rights. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had something strong to say with regards to abortion: “The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a woman’s life, her well-being and her dignity. It is a decision she must make for herself. When the government controls that decision for her, she is being treated as less than a full adult human responsible for her own choices.” I cannot agree more. It’s not up to the masses to decide for a woman. It’s her body, it’s her choice. Opponents will disagree with this and intend to fight to preserve the right of the fetus, but the bottom line is that it is not their decision to make. And that, as my dad always said, is the “end of the story, case closed.”

Senior Soiree At Hicksville High School The Hicksville community’s senior citizens enjoyed a second afternoon of food, fun and entertainment as the Hicksville School District hosted its 27th annual Spring Senior Citizen Luncheon recently at Hicksville High School. Members of Hicksville High School’s National Honor Society served hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour, as well as salad and one of three entrées for diners to choose from. Coffee and tea were also served. Guests were treated to special performances by the school’s Jazz Ensemble, Chamber Singers, String Ensemble and Theater Department. Student artwork was on display for viewing.

Hicksville Superintendent of Schools Marianne Litzman welcomed the senior citizens and thanked them for their contributions to the community throughout the years. Just a few days later, the district hosted the annual Senior Citizen Prom, also at the high school. The Senior Citizen Luncheon continues to be a fun, intergenerational tradition that brings students and their elders together for an afternoon of feasting, fine arts and conversation. The district is pleased to provide this service as a special thanks to all of its senior citizens in the community. —Submitted by Hicksville School District
