“The Forgotten Occupation” appeared on the marquee at Bellmore Movies and Showplace for its Long Island premiere last Sunday, bringing Baldwin filmmaker Alain Martin’s decade-long project closer to home.

A ‘Forgotten’ story comes home By AllYSoN FERRARI aferrari@liherald.com

Six months after Baldwin filmmaker Alain Martin told the Herald he hoped Long Island audiences would have a chance to see his documentary about the U.S. occupation of Haiti, the film finally came home. “The Forgotten Occupation” made its Long Island premiere last Sunday at Bellmore Movies and Showplace, on Pettit Ave. The screening was part of a tour commemorating the 111th anniversary of the beginning of the U.S. occupation of Haiti. “I’m elated that the project is finally coming to Long Island,” Martin, 45, said. “There are a lot of cultural and artistic events about Haiti that mostly take place in Brooklyn and

Manhattan. People forget we have a rich, vibrant Haitian community here, and I’m hoping with this screening, we can encourage other Haitian filmmakers to remember those of us in Long Island. I’m happy I was able to make this happen, and it feels validating.” Nassau County Legislator Carrié Solages, who is of Haitian descent, joined Martin in bringing the documentary to Bellmore. Martin said he had long known Bellmore Movies and Showplace’s reputation as a welcoming venue for independent filmmakers, and he asked about showing the film there. Then a mutual connection put him in touch with Solages’ chief of staff, Martin said. Solages had heard about the documentary from someone who had seen it in Los Angeles. COnTInued On pAge 7

Nassau County Legislator Debra Mulé presented two Community Revitalization Project g rants totaling $100,725.50 to Sanitary District 2 on Aug. 5 to fund new trash receptacles in Baldwin, Roosevelt and South Hempstead. The County Legislature unanimously approved the grants July 27. The funding will be used to purchase and install 10 Bigbelly Smart Max solarpowered trash compactors, along with the software, subscriptions and equipment needed to operate them. The compactors are expected to be placed strategically along high-traffic county roads within the sanitation district. The remaining funding will pay for 24 Ironsites Series 45-gallon litter receptacles. Sanitary District 2 provides garbage and recycling collection for about 55,000 residents and businesses in Baldwin, Roosevelt and South Hempstead and parts of Uniondale, Rockville Centre and Freeport. Established in 1928, the district serves about 16,800 stops with 60 full-time employees. A five-member elected Board of Commissioners oversees the district’s waste and recycling operations and efforts to prevent litter. “We are grateful to receive this Community Revitalization Program grant to support the purchase of new litter baskets and Bigbelly Solar garbage pails throughout Baldwin, Roosevelt and South Hempstead,” Sanitary District 2 Commissioner LeRoy Roberts said. “This funding will strengthen our

efforts to keep public spaces clean, reduce litter, and improve the quality of life for our residents.” Mulé, who represents parts of Baldwin, said the solar-powered compactors can hold five to 10 times more waste than traditional trash cans, reducing the number of pickups needed. “Every time we keep garbage off the streets and get it into receptacles where it belongs, we are taking a simple, but important, step toward improving our quality of life and keeping our communities beautiful,” Mulé said. “With our focus on the downtown revitalization of Baldwin, it is the perfect time to equip Sani 2 with these enhanced resources, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to do so.” Mulé said the new compactors could also help reduce the district’s environmental footprint because their larger capacity will require fewer pickups. “Cleaning up litter is key to improving our quality of life,” Mulé said. “Introducing solar-powered trash compacting receptacles will keep key portions of Sani 2’s coverage area cleaner and reduce our carbon footprint by requiring fewer pickups because their capacity is five to 10 times larger than that of a traditional trash can.” Mulé said she hopes to work with Sanitary District 2 on additional energysaving initiatives in the future. — Allyson Ferrari

The Baldwin Chamber of Commerce brought members, friends and local officials together for its “Baldwin Chamber Gives Back” summer barbecue, an evening of food and fellowship by the water.

Baldwin chamber serves up food, summer fun The Baldwin Chamber of Commerce brought members, friends and local officials together Aug. 5 for an evening of food, music and waterfront views at Bay Colony Beach. The chamber hosted its summer barbecue along Baldwin Bay as part of its “Baldwin Chamber Gives Back” celebration. Chamber board members pitched in throughout the evening, serving food and drinks and providing entertainment for those gathered by the water. Board member Sean Gleason took charge of the grill, with assistance from Jim Capozzi, serving up summer favorites including burgers and hot dogs. Board member DJ Lyndell provided music as attendees relaxed and enjoyed the sea air. Nassau County Legislator Debra Mulé and Assem-

blywoman Judy Griffin also joined chamber members and guests for the festivities. Bay Colony Beach, overlooking Baldwin Bay, provided a waterfront setting for the gathering, giving attendees an opportunity to socialize outside of the chamber’s usual business and networking events. The barbecue was free for chamber members and one guest, with additional guests invited to attend for a fee. The chamber encouraged participants to bring their own beverages while food and entertainment were provided. The event was held at Bay Colony Beach on Bay Front Place in Baldwin. — Allyson Ferrari

Protecting Your Future with Michael and Suzanne Ettinger Attorneys-at-Law

Powers of Attorney Are for Everyone What happens if you have an accident or an illness whereby you are unable to handle your legal and financial affairs? Many people incorrectly believe their spouse is legally able to handle their affairs. Similarly, a parent has no legal authority to handle the affairs of a child, once the child attains the age of majority – eighteen years. Without a power of attorney, you would have to apply to a court to be named a legal guardian. These proceedings are expensive, time-consuming and fraught with peril. The judge has no obligation to name the spouse or parent as legal guardian and may appoint a stranger. For example, the judge may feel that the spouse or parent has a conflict in that they are the beneficiary of the incapacitated person’s assets, or the judge may decide that someone else has more knowledge and experience in handling such matters. Who should you choose as your “agent”? In our experience, the vast majority of powers of attorney name the spouse first and one or more of the children second. While on its face this seems reasonable, experience has shown it

may not be a good idea. We often need to use the power of attorney when the client is quite elderly and infirm. Often, so is the spouse at that time. Son or daughter wants to step in and help out with bill paying, etc. only to find they are unable to use the power of attorney for dad unless they can prove that mom can’t. How do you prove she can’t? First you have to get the doctor to write a letter that mom is unable to handle her legal and financial affairs. Will the doctor write the letter? Will the letter be clear and unequivocal? Will each of the third parties you have to deal with accept the letter? These are not easy hurdles to overcome. We believe there is a better way. We simply say either mom, or son, or daughter may act as agent. The problem is eliminated. You are protected from son or daughter misusing the power of attorney by the fact that they do not have the document – you keep it in your possession and make it available if and when they need to use it. Bottom line: all adults should have a power of attorney and healthcare proxy/living will.

Adelphi University has received a national award recognizing its efforts to support the mental health and well-being of students and employees. The Garden City university was named a recipient of Insight Into Academia magazine’s 2026 Excellence in Mental Health and Well-Being Award. Adelphi is among 38 colleges and universities that will be featured in the magazine’s September issue. The award recognizes programs and initiatives aimed at advancing mental health and wellness on college campuses. “The culture of care we have built at Adelphi goes far beyond academic and professional development — it requires fostering a community that recognizes the mental health challenges students face and actively supports them at every level,” Adelphi President Michael Balboni said. Among the programs highlighted was Adelphi’s Mindfulness Center, which opened in 2022 and provides a quiet space for members of the university community. The center offers guided meditation, yoga classes and annual wellness retreats. Adelphi also provides counseling services for students facing psychological, behavioral or learning challenges at its campuses and centers. Scheduled appoint_________________

ments and walk-in crisis counseling are available weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Services include individual and group therapy, substance education, wellness workshops and referrals to additional resources. The university’s Achan Family Interfaith Center also provides space for worship, fellowship and dialogue among people of different religious traditions. “We know that institutions are not always recognized for their dedication to and prioritizing mental health and wellbeing services and support for their students and employees,” Lenore Pearlstein, owner and publisher of Insight Into Academia, said. “We are proud to honor the colleges and universities who are standouts as the need for these resources continues to grow substantially.” Balboni said the university plans to continue making mental health resources and wellness programs a priority. “This honor from Insight Into Academia reflects the ongoing work and dedication of our care teams to provide accessible mental health resources and wellness initiatives, which will continue to be a focus on our campus,” he said. — Allyson Ferrari

As summer gives way to fall, the Baldwin Public Library is offering a full slate of programs designed to entertain, engage and bring the community together. Throughout September, residents can enjoy Friday afternoon movie screenings, take part in book discussions and get moving with line dancing classes. Whether you’re looking to discover a new read, spend an afternoon at the movies or learn some new steps, the library has something for a variety of interests. Here are three programs to add to your calendar.

Catch a Friday afternoon movie Movie lovers can spend their Friday afternoons at the Baldwin Public Library with three films scheduled in September. The series begins Sept. 4 at 1 p.m. with “Michael,” a 2026 biopic about Michael Jackson, known as the King of Pop. On Sept. 18, the library will screen Steven Spielberg’s 2021 adaptation of “West Side Story,” which follows the forbidden romance at the center of a rivalry between two New York City street gangs. The month concludes Sept. 25 with the 2004 comedy-drama “Spanglish,” starring Adam Sandler and Téa Leoni. All three films are rated PG-13 and will be shown in the second-floor Community Room. Registration is not required.

Step into September with line dancing

Readers can share their thoughts on two novels during the library’s hybrid book discussions. The Afternoon Book Discussion will explore Xochitl Gonzalez’s “Last Night in Brooklyn” on Sept. 9 from 2 to 3 p.m. Led by Marialisa Arnold, head of materials management, the discussion will examine a young woman whose life becomes intertwined with her glamorous neighbor’s secret past. On Sept. 14 from 7 to 8 p.m., Adult Programming Librarian Elly Muller will lead a Mystery Book Discussion of Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s “Velvet Was the Night,” a historical noir set amid political unrest in 1970s Mexico City. Both programs will be held in the second-floor Makerspace with a hybrid participation option. Registration is required.

Baldwin residents can get moving and learn some new steps during line dancing classes at the library this September. Sessions are scheduled for Sept. 10 and 17 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the secondfloor Community Room. Line dancing offers participants a chance to enjoy an active evening while learning choreographed dances performed in rows or lines, making it an activity that does not require a dance partner. The two Thursday evening sessions are part of the Baldwin Public Library’s adult programming lineup for the month. Those interested in attending should check with the library for registration information and availability.

HERALD SPORTS Hofstra looks to kickstart winning season By ANDREW COEN sports@liherald.com

Hofstra University’s women’s soccer team encountered plenty of gridlock during last year’s 6-5-7 season that featured seven straight ties and is seeking a breakthrough fall that yields a deep postseason run. The Pride’s historic draw streak lasted a month from Aug. 28 to Sept. 28 as part of a frustrating campaign in which Hofstra finished 3-3-3 in the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) and qualified for the conference tournament with a 3-2 win at Stony Brook in the regularseason finale. The Seawolves ended Hofstra’s season four days later with a 2-1 overtime win in the CAA North Division quarterfinals created plenty of hunger for the Pride’s 14 returning players. “They were disappointed in the way it ended,” said 21st-year Hofstra head coach Simon Riddiough. “They have all worked very hard and had good energy in the preseason but we are very young with a lot of new players.” Hofstra will look for more wins with a largely new roster that includes 13 newcomers. The Pride lost nearly 80 percent of last year’s scoring. The top returning scorers are junior forward Hailey Moschitta and senior defender Alexia Des Croisselles, who each tallied two goals apiece. Riddiough said he hopes for a collective scoring effort this fall with a number of potential goal scorers in Maggie Peterson, Kendyl Peterson and Jadyn Hsu at the forward position along with freshman midfielder Mia Claro, an AllState player from Kellenberg. Veteran fifth-year midfielder Amy Meadows also could be a key offensive force and she tallied Hofstra’s lone goal in a season-opening 3-1 loss at St. Joseph’s on Aug. 15. Senior midfielder Alexia Bromfield, who came off bench to score a late tying goal in Hofstra’s 1-1 draw with Columbia on Aug. 21, adds to Hofstra’s offensive depth. “We’re going to be relying on a collective team effort,” Riddiough said. “Set pieces are going to be especially important.” The backline is anchored by senior fender Sasha McTiffin, a preseason AllCAA honorable mention selection. The defense also returns Des Croisselles, junior Emma Johnson and sophomore Jessica Martin. Senior Jill Conlon, a former two-time All-County player at Calhoun High School in North Merrick, adds depth to the defensive roster after missing last season with an injury. Freshman Ryann Zydor, who earned All-State honors at Oceanside High School, is another local product who could see playing time on

Hofstra’s defense is anchored by senior Sasha McTiffin, a preseason All-CAA honorable mention selection. the backline. The defense will be aided by the return of junior goalkeeper Lilly Bailey, a Perth, Australia native, who posted four shutouts and 52 saves last season. “She’s very good with her feet and is very athletic,” Riddiough said of Bailey. “She needs to become a bit more commanding with her communication, but outside of that I’m pretty content with how she is as a goalkeeper.” Hofstra will next host Fordham Aug.

A top three standings finish would qualify Hofstra for a 10th straight CAA playoffs and 19th time in 21 years since Riddiough took com-

mand of the program with a chance to earn an automatic qualifier into the NCAA Tournament. “There’s going to be a lot of parity and hopefully by the time conference play starts we’ve got ourselves sorted and we can challenge people and get ourselves into the playoffs again,” Riddiough said. “We’re a young team and we’re going to learn and take our lumps early and hopefully by conference season we’ll be ready to get some results.”

Baldwin filmmaker Alain Martin spent more than a decade creating “The Forgotten Occupation,” a documentary examining the U.S. occupation of Haiti from 1915 to 1934. film and how much it changed them and how much of their own family dynamics they see in it.” The journey has been rewarding, he said, but also frustrating, because he wants the documentary to reach more viewers outside the Haitian diaspora. “The jour ney has been inspiring, although discouraging at times,” he said. “I mean, me and my team made the first ever feature film on the topic of the U.S. occupation. A lot of people in Haiti have now seen it and have gone out of their way to get in touch with me to thank me. That feels good. Discouraging because I feel as though not enough people beyond the Haitian diaspora have seen this. But we are working to change it.” The Long Island premiere also came as Haitian immigrants face uncertainty over their ability to remain in the United States. Martin said the current debate has made the documentary’s mission feel more urgent. “In Long Island … we have a lot of Haitians facing the threat of deportation,” he said. “Someone told me a lot of people would love to attend the screening, but they are afraid of leaving their houses.” Martin views the current moment through the history explored in his documentary, arguing that the American occupation contributed to conditions that have shaped generations of Haitian migration. “The occupation largely made Haiti unlivable,” he said. “It kick-started the immigration phenomenon going on now. And yet many of us are now being made to feel unwelcome here.” For Martin, bringing the film to Long Island was an opportunity to make that century-old history resonate closer to home. “I hope they’re thinking about their fellow Haitians right here in Long Island,” he said, “who are now facing an existential crisis.”

For Martin, the premiere was more than another stop on the film’s growing tour. Much of “The Forgotten Occupation” was edited on Long Island, and Martin organized the Bellmore screening himself. “I reached out to DSA, PSL, Haitians of NYC to help me with outreach, and they did not hesitate to come on board,” he said referring to the Long Island chapters of the Democratic Socialists of America and the Party for Socialism and Liberation. “This is also my hometown screening. The film was mostly edited in Long Island, so it’s a coming-home party.” Martin, who grew up in Jacmel, Haiti, before emigrating to the United States at age 13, spent more than a decade creating the documentary while working in finance on Long Island. The film examines the American occupation of Haiti from 1915 to 1934 and frames that history as a letter to Martin’s late grandfather, who came of age during the occupation. Following the assassination of Haitian President Jean Vilbrun Guillaume Sam in July 1915, President Woodrow Wilson sent U.S. Marines into Haiti to “restore order” and “maintain political and economic stability” in the Caribbean, according to the U.S. State Department’s Office of the Historian. The occupation lasted nearly two decades. Since the Herald spoke with Martin in February, the film has reached more audiences across the country — in Miami; at Temple University, in Philadelphia; at the People’s Forum, in Manhattan; at a theater in upstate Nyack — and around the world, including the Cinélux in Geneva, Switzerland. The film concluded its festival run in 2024, and made its New York premiere at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum in February. Its current tour commemorates 111 years since the occupation began, with screenings planned in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Boston and New Jersey, as well as Norway. Martin said that Adelphi University and other organizations have also expressed interest in showing it. His interactions with viewers, he said, have reinforced why he spent more than a decade making it. At a Manhattan screening, he recalled, an older woman approached him afterward and broke down in tears. “She had remembered brief episodes of the occupation, and watching the film bought back those memories,” Martin said. At a screening in Washington, he said, an audience member told him that she had supported American intervention in Haiti before seeing the documentary, but watching it changed her mind. Those encounters have also given new meaning to something Martin told the Herald in February. “As more people have seen the film, I am even more convinced that this was my gift to Haiti,” he said. “So many people have called, texted, emailed to thank me for making the

Kore Cares launches with back-to-school drive sive and still elevated.” Although Hardwick lives in Freeport, she said that Baldwin has been part of her life for as long as she can remember. She grew up spending time on Grand Avenue, where she got her hair done, got her first set of acrylic nails and went on her first movie date. “That’s why opening Kore here felt so natural,” Hardwick said. “I wasn’t coming into a community I didn’t know. I was building something in a community that I’ve been a part of my entire life.” Now she wants Kore’s presence in Baldwin to extend beyond Pilates. Next week’s drive is the first initiative organized by Kore Cares, the community-service side of the business. Hardwick said she created it because she wanted Kore’s growth to include support for the people around it. The end of summer presented an opportunity. “Backto-school season can be exciting, but it can also be expensive and stressful for families,” she said. “If we can take even a little bit of that stress away while making kids feel excited and prepared for school, that means everything to me.” Backpacks, clothing, shoes, notebooks, folders and pens and pencils can quickly become a significant expense, Hardwick said, particularly for families with more than one child. Participants will be able to receive donated supplies at the Aug. 29 event while supplies last. Hardwick said that organizers want the experience to be accessible and welcoming rather than complicated for those who need help. “Sometimes people are struggling quietly, too,” she said. “I don’t think someone should have to explain their entire situation or feel embarrassed to receive a little extra support.” Stephanie Richie, a public relations representative for

The Kore by Kitty team has helped build the Baldwin Pilates studio into a community that founder Catherine Hardwick, far right, hopes to extend beyond fitness through the new Kore Cares initiative. Kore, said that backpacks, pens, loose-leaf paper and crayons are among the items most needed, and that donations are welcome. Organizers are also accepting notebooks, folders, pencils, markers, calculators, headphones and other school and classroom essentials. The response from the community has been positive, Richie said, with local businesses and community members exploring ways to contribute, whether through sup-

plies, monetary donations or other support. People shouldn’t be discouraged from participating, Richie said, if they can only make a small donation. “Even if somebody is able to just give one pack of crayons or a pack of pens, no contribution is too small,” she said. Hardwick wants the event to be more than a simple exchange of school supplies. Instead, she said, she wants families to feel supported as children prepare to return to classrooms. “I don’t want it to feel like you’re just coming to pick up a backpack and leave,” she said. “I want it to feel like a celebration before the kids go back to school.” The effort is intended to be only a beginning for Kore Cares. It is planning another event next month with Grand Avenue Elementary School that will incorporate wellness and movement activities for children and parents. Richie said the business hopes to make its back-toschool drive an annual effort while expanding Kore Cares through other initiatives, including programs focused on women, girls, children and women’s health. “Kore is obviously known for Pilates and wellness, but I’ve always wanted it to be bigger than fitness,” Hardwick said. “Kore Cares gives us a way to show up outside of the studio and support our community in different ways.” The community’s response to the studio in its first months of operation, she said, has shaped the way she thinks about its future. “When I opened this studio, I had a vision, but the community is what made it what it is today,” she said. “People showed up, told their friends, brought their families and supported us from the beginning.” She added, “For me, success isn’t just about how many classes we sell or how much the business grows,” she said. “It’s about what we can do with that growth.”

Baldwin firefighters join statewide celebration Baldwin firefighters joined departments from across New York for a weekend celebrating the state’s long-running firematic tradition, taking part in a parade that capped the 2026 New York State Championship Drill in Hempstead. The championship brought volunteer fire departments together Aug. 15 for a series of competitions on Weir Street testing speed, efficiency, firefighting skills and teamwork. Festivities continued Aug. 16, when Baldwin Fire Department members and apparatus joined fellow firefighters for a parade from the South Hempstead Fire Department to the Weir Street arch. B a l dw i n’s c o n t i n g e n t i n cl u d e d department members marching in uniform and both modern and antique apparatus, giving spectators lining the parade route a look at the department and its firefighting equipment. The weekend was hosted by the Hempstead, South Hempstead and West Hempstead fire departments, with West Hempstead’s Westerners Drill Team helping host the competition. Central Islip’s Hoboes captured the state championship with 28 points, followed by the East Islip Guzzlers with 17 points and the Spencerport Red Onions with 15.5. The South Hempstead Rascals placed fourth with nine points, while the Miller Place Extinguishers finished fifth with seven. Firematic competition has been part of New York’s volunteer fire service for more than a century. Early contests tested fundamental firefighting skills such as stretching hoses and raising ladders, with motorized equipment incorporated as firefighting technology developed. Today, the competitions combine speed and athleticism with skills rooted in the volunteer fire service, giving firefighters an opportunity to practice basic proficiencies, build physical fitness and strengthen the teamwork used during emergency responses.

Business expo to show power of shopping local agrieco@liherald.com

Local entrepreneurs and professionals will have an opportunity to connect directly with the community when the inaugural Small Business Showcase comes to Oceanside this fall. The event, organized by Baldwin business owner Regina Finkelstein, along with her husband Jeff, will take place on Oct. 8, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post on Lawson Boulevard. Admission is free, and the showcase will feature 22 local businesses representing a wide range of industries, from health care and financial services to home improvement, travel and retail. Finkelstein, who owns Doctor Promo, a printing and promotional products company, said the idea grew out of her own experiences attending business expos throughout Long Island. “Most of the events I’ve attended are in Melville, Huntington or farther east,” she said. “There really hasn’t been anything like this in our area where local businesses and professionals can come together and show the community what’s available right here in their own backyard.” Rather than filling the room with multiple businesses from the same field, Finkelstein designed the event so each exhibitor represents a different profession. She said that approach will give visitors a broader experience while allowing every business an equal opportunity to connect with potential customers. “We wanted people to walk in and see something different at every table,” she said. “It’s about introducing people to the variety of businesses we have locally.”

Regina and Jeff Finkelstein, of Baldwin, will be hosting a small business expo at the Oceanside Veterans of Foreign Wars Post on Lawson Boulevard on Oct. 8 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Planning for the showcase began only a few months ago after Finkelstein attended another business expo in April and realized there was a need for a similar event closer to home. She first invited members of her weekly networking group, offering them an early opportunity to reserve exhibit space. The response exceeded expectations. All 22 vendor spaces sold out within a few months, and Finkelstein said she has already started a waiting list of businesses interested in participating.

“If the vendors are happy and the community enjoys it, we’d absolutely like to make this an annual event,” she said. “We’ll see how this first one goes and hopefully continue to grow.” Finkelstein said supporting locally owned businesses is especially important as more consumers turn to online retailers and services. “The internet has changed the way people shop,” she said. “But there’s something you can’t replace about meeting someone face to face, asking questions and building relationships with local business owners. These are small businesses, many of them family-run, and they’re part of our community.” The first 100 attendees will receive complimentary canvas tote bags filled with promotional materials and giveaways from participating businesses. Free cof fee and bagels will also be available throughout the morning. Participating exhibitors include Abril Acupuncture, Aflac, Aides at Home, Allstate, Blinds Fabric Shades World, Bracha Designs, CarJoy, Comprehensive Aesthetix, Cruise Planners, DoctorPromo, Halesite, Lion’s Den Law, Mary Kay, Park Assets, Restorative Massage Therapy, Ridgewood Bank, Sammartino & Sultan Law Group, Shop.com, Smart Tax, South Nassau Chiropractic, The Roots of Finance and We Fix 516. Finkelstein hopes the event will become a community tradition that not only helps small businesses grow but also encourages residents to discover the products and services available close to home. “We’re local, we’re accessible and we’re here,” she said. “Sometimes the best businesses are the ones right around the corner.”

Jolson ’ Story is timeless

Jolson Festival marks 80 years By Iris Wiener

or many, Al Jolson is forever embraced as “The World’s Greatest Entertainer,” and honoring his legacy has become an annual tradition. Celebrating him every year is an unmissable moment for so many. As Jolson himself once said, “A responsive audience is the best encouragement an actor can have.” Judging by the enduring enthusiasm for his music and legacy, there will be no shortage of that encouragement at this year’s celebration. Fans of legendary entertainer Al Jolson will travel from as far away as Kentucky, Ohio, Massachusetts, and New Jersey when the Long Island • Saturday, Sept. 26, Jolson Festival returns next 10 a.m.-4 p.m. • To purchase tickets and for month, on Sept. 26. The more information, call Jan annual celebration takes Hernstat at (516) 678-3524 on added significance as it • Lambrou’s Catering Hall, marks the 80th anniversary 4073 Austin Blvd., Island Park of “The Jolson Story,” the beloved film that inspired generations of Jolson admirers and serves as the theme of this year’s event. With the 27th festival in a span of more than 32 years, the event has grown into a national gathering for devotees of Jolson’s music and legacy. Jan Hernstat, who has served as president of the Al Jolson Society for more than 24 of those years, expects visitors from to make the pilgrimage to Lambrou’s Catering Hall in Island Park with gusto. According to Hernstat this year’s milestone anniversary has inspired even more people to attend. “Because this is the 80th anniversary of ‘The Jolson Story,’ it’s really about the movie and the love for Al Jolson,” he enthusiastically says. For Hernstat, the connection is deeply personal. As a child home sick from school, he stumbled upon “The Million Dollar Movie” and repeated television broadcasts of “The Jolson Story,” and found himself captivated. “They used to play the same movie eight or nine times in a row,” he recalls. “I must have watched ‘The Jolson Story’ five or six times, and that was it. I was hooked.” He notes that while Jolson dominated Broadway from 1911 through the mid-1920s, few living fans remember those performances firsthand. Instead, it was the Academy Awardwinning film that introduced audiences to his remarkable story and unforgettable songs. “Nobody’s alive to say they saw him on Broadway,” Hernstat says. “Why are people alive who can say they are Jolson fans? Because they saw ‘The Jolson Story.’ That movie took this old guy who was no longer relevant and made him

a superstar all over again.” Courtesy Jan Hernstat This year’s Al Jolson in a scene from his film “The Singing Kid” in 1936. It entertainment lineup has was his final lead role in a musical film. been carefully built around that cinematic celebration. Tony Babino, known as “The Heart of Al Jolson,” is back, performing the film’s signature hits, while Richard Halpern will sing the songs featured during Jolson’s childhood scenes in the movie. Music historian Ed Greenbaum will present rare outtakes and songs that were considered for “The Jolson Story” but never made the final cut, offering fans a glimpse into what might Courtesy Iris Wiener have been. The festival Tony B., joined by Society President Jan Hernstat, left, wows also features Brian Gari, the crowd with his lively take on Jolson standards. grandson of entertainer Eddie Cantor; Noah Diamond portraying Groucho Marx; Bob Greenberg performing as Lou Costello, Curly Howard, Ralph Kramden and Oliver Hardy; Angelo Capone as Jerry Lewis; and comedian Jeff Greenberg. Hernstat especially enjoys his own playful interaction with “Groucho Marx” throughout the annual auction portion of the day. The inclusion of Jerry Lewis is especially fitting. Lewis and Dean Martin were lifelong Jolson admirers, and Lewis famously said that meeting Jolson was the only time he had ever been speechless. Hernstat relates that Jolson’s influence stretched far beyond one generation of entertainers. “He was the first superstar before the phrase was even coined,” he says. “He had universal appeal. He was a star in Europe and all over because of ‘The Jazz Singer.’” Yet even after decades of studying Jolson’s career, Hernstat still finds new discoveries. “You would think I’ve heard every song he ever recorded, but I haven’t. I don’t rush to hear and see everything, because when I discover something new, it’s exciting.” Looking back over more than three decades of organizing the festival, Hernstat shares that the greatest reward has been the people. He treasures the opportunity to meet classic entertainers who have attended over the years, along with the friendships formed among fans who return annually. He has begun to appreciate the broader impact of his work. “I am doing something that is making people feel good and helping people,” he reflects “I never looked at it like that when I started doing it, but now I know that’s what it is.” As the lights go up on another Long Island Jolson Festival, the celebration honors more than an entertainer — it will celebrate the film that ensured his music, charisma, and remarkable story would live on. Eighty years after “The Jolson Story” rekindled America’s love affair with Al Jolson, fans continue to gather for the same reason Hernstat did as a child: to relive the movie that first made them believe they were witnessing the world’s greatest entertainer.

Melissa Etheridge Known for her confessional lyrics and raspy, smoky vocals, Melissa Etheridge (“I’m the Only One” “Come to My Window,” “I Want to Come Over.”) has remained one of America’s favorite female singers since bursting onto the scene in 1988. Etheridge performs songs from her new album, Rise, and her hits. “I chose to survive,”she sings on “Being Alive,” the powerful, exuberant opening song on her 17th studio album. Her concerts usually move between bigger sing-along songs, slower emotional moments, and the kind of tracks that let her voice really take over the room. That balance is a big reason her live shows connect so strongly with the audience. The Rise Tour carries that same feel, with a set that blends the songs fans know best with newer material.

Middle school students explore aviation careers Middle school students from the Baldwin School District got a firsthand look at careers in aviation and aerospace through a STEM program supported by the JetBlue Foundation. Students participated in classroom lessons and hands-on activities at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, learning how science, technology, engineering and math are used throughout the aviation industry. The program introduced students to flight-tracking technology, weather, artificial intelligence and airport operations, as well as the teamwork involved in keeping aircraft moving safely. The experience concluded with a Family STEM Night at the museum, where students in the Aerospace After School Program explored exhibits with their families and received certificates recognizing their participation. Students and their families also watched “Cities of the Future,” a film highlighting developments in science and technology and related career opportunities. “We’re grateful to the JetBlue Foundation for helping us create experiences that connect classroom learning with the real world,” Inés JijónLlenza, the museum’s director of education, said. “Our hope is that students leave this program excited about STEM and inspired by the

opportunities in aviation.” Baldwin Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Stephanie Rengifo said the program also helped students develop skills that extend beyond science and technology. “We were delighted to partner with the Cradle of Aviation Museum to provide this enriching experience for our students,” Rengifo said. “While the program introduced students to exciting careers in aerospace, engineering, and STEM, its greatest value extended beyond scientific exploration. Through hands-on learning, students strengthened the critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills that are central to Baldwin’s Future Ready Competencies and New York State’s Portrait of a Graduate. “This learning series embodied the spirit of a true ‘Leaving to Learn’ opportunity by bringing authentic, real-world expertise directly into the classroom, allowing students to make meaningful connections between their learning and future career pathways.” The program was designed to introduce Baldwin students to potential aviation career paths while demonstrating how lessons learned in the classroom can be applied in the industry.

Do we have to replace all the windows? Q. We have been told that when we add to our second floor, over our one-story garage, we will have to change every window in the house so we can meet the “egress” code. This is going to make our project out of budget, so we have to ask somebody else to know whether this is the case, and whether there’s any way we can keep the windows we have. There is nothing wrong with them, and it seems like a lot of cost when, if we left everything alone, we apparently wouldn’t have to do this. Can you explain this?

A. You don’t need to change every window in your home. You got the easy, simple answer, which was wrong or, at best, only partially right, and misleading. If everything could be explained with a simple answer, like the black-and-white, all-ornothing answer that you received, the world would be a simpler place. But nothing is simple, and, onte eeper unfortunately, regulations on windows, which make sense, were not explained to you correctly. First, the building codes exist for occupant and public safety. You need to be able to escape in an emergency, and you also may need to be rescued. Picture a big firefighter with his equipment strapped to him, trying to get in to save a child who is huddled, as many will do, in a closet. Window size regulations in the building codes for escape and rescue were changed with the issuance of the 2003 version. In that updated code, the previous clear opening size was 4 square feet, but it was changed to 5.7 square feet for floors above or below the first floor. The first-floor windows for habitable spaces were then upgraded to 5 square feet clear opening from 4 square feet. This became required if more than 50 percent of the building was being physically altered, or if the occupancy use of a room changed, such as changing a den to a guest room. All bedrooms are now required, in new construction, to have 5.7-square-foot openings with a minimum height of 24 inches and a minimum width of the clear opening, with the window in the open position, of 20 inches. Now that you have processed that information, the key is “habitable” versus “non-habitable.” Your bathrooms, laundry room and kitchen are not habitable rooms and are not sleeping rooms. The windows in those non-habitable rooms do not have to comply, and need not be changed. Rooms like your dining area, living room and family room may have access to the outside by doors, so those windows do not need to be changed. This leaves the bedrooms, which may need to be changed, but if the area you are adding over your garage does not constitute 50 percent of the dwelling, the new windows need to be 5.7 square feet, but the ones in the old bedrooms do not. Appendix J allows for the existing windows to remain. Calculate the new areas and compare. Good luck!

Answers to todAy’s puzzle

n two weeks we will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 — the deadliest attack on American soil in the nation’s history. Nearly 3,000 innocent people were killed that day, and the death and suffering didn’t end there. In the years that followed, thousands more became ill and, in many cases, died from the toxic dust in and around the World Trade Center. Each year, as Sept. 11 approaches, I think back to that day, and how it began so beautifully and uneventfully. I was in Washington, in a car with my chief of staff, Rob O’Connor, heading toward the Capitol. The sky was exceptionally clear — great for flying, I thought. I figured my wife, Rosemary’s, plane would be right on time. That night was to be the annual congressional barbecue on the south lawn of the White House — the first of George W. Bush’s presidency. Most members of Congress and their spouses

would be there. Rosemary was due to land at D.C.’s Reagan National Airport at about 9:40 a.m. The morning traffic wasn’t particularly heavy. The Capitol dome was in clear sight as I scanned the morning paper. Then Rob’s cellphone rang. It was my press secretary, Kevin Fogarty, telling us matter-offactly that he’d heard on “The Today Show” that a commuter plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. Then we heard on the radio that the plane had hit high on the north tower, exploding “like a bomb.” That didn’t sound like a commuter plane. I feared that Rosemary’s 8:30 flight out of LaGuardia might have been near Lower Manhattan about the time of the crash. Kevin called back to say that the flight had been held and was on the runway, but he had no further details. My daughter, Erin, called. She had just spoken with her husband, John, who worked four blocks north of the trade center and had seen the crash. “It’s just massive,” he told her. “Flames and black smoke shooting out. Debris flying through the air.”

I got out at the Cannon Building, walked up to my fourth-floor office and opened the door to the reception area. It was 9:03. I looked up toward the television on top of a bookcase, and watched as a huge jet flew directly into a tower and exploded in soaring flames. At first I thought it was a video of the north tower crash, but then I realized it was a second plane. Erin called again. John had seen the plane coming in his direction before it hit the south tower, and he began to run down from his 28th-floor office. Still no word from Rosemary. My calls went directly to her voicemail. I managed to contact my son, Sean, who worked at the Commerce Department. As we were talking, at 9:21, Rosemary called. Having no idea what was happening, she complained about her plane being taken back to the terminal and the airport being shut down. “How am I supposed to get to the White House tonight?” she asked. “New York is under attack,” I told her. “Terrorists have attacked the World Trade Center.” Just then I heard the pilot of her plane making that announcement,

y wife had no idea why her flight from LaGuardia was grounded.

and passengers shrieking. My district office director, Anne Rosenfeld, who was very pregnant, drove to LaGuardia to pick up Rosemary. Erin was concerned that she hadn’t heard again from John. But at 9:35 she called with the good news that he had found a cab that took him to the 59th Street Bridge, and was now taking another cab home. At 9:43, CNN reported an attack on the Pentagon. We were at war. Capitol police were evacuating the Cannon Building, and there was a report of an explosion near the Commerce Department. I called Sean, but his line was dead. He called at 9:55. The report was false, and I breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment I allowed myself to think all was well. But of course, it wasn’t. The next report was of the crash of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pa. For days, weeks and months there would be news of friends, neighbors and so many more who had died. The funerals were endless. Our lives would never be the same. Most important, though, America never wavered. We fought back, and the struggle continues. Peter King is a former congressman, and a former chair of the House Committee on Homeland Security.

Trump owns the war in Iran. That’s not good news.

ike it or not, the war with Iran will soon enter its seventh month. It may be true that the war was started with the express purpose of taking away Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear weapon, but as of now that goal has proved elusive. Iran has been a clever and resilient foe, and it’s possible that the current battle will last far into the future. The longer it lasts, the longer Americans will pay a hefty price for gasoline, fertilizer and other badly needed consumer products. On numerous occasions, President Trump has displayed a chart highlighting the fact that the Iran war hasn’t lasted anywhere near as long as the Vietnam War, the war in Afghanistan or the Korean War, and on that he is correct. The Vietnam War lasted from 1955 to 1975. The war in Afghanistan lasted 20 years, and the Korean War lasted from 1950 to 1953. The problem with the White House chart is that it fails to point out the fact that the wars in Vietnam and Afghani-

stan were total failures, and the Korean War is considered a draw and not any kind of victory. Many of us who were alive during the 20 years of strife in Vietnam still remember the photo of desperate evacuees reaching for a helicopter ladder as the U.S. Army left the capital. By all accounts, Vietnam was a terrible loss. Our military failed to prevent Communist forces from taking over South Vietnam, culminating in the fall of Saigon in 1975 and the unification of the country under a Communist government. Another indelible image from that war is the dramatic photo of children, one of them naked, fleeing a napalm attack. The war in Afghanistan was another embarrassment for our nation. Failing to consider the loss of over 15,000 Soviet soldiers, we forged ahead and ultimately withdrew after 20 years, leaving the country to the Taliban, the same group we tried to oust in 2001. That war cost the lives of more than 2,400 U.S. military personnel, and an additional 20,700 were wounded. An estimated 66,000 to 69,000 Afghan national military and police officers were killed. The Korean War was supposed to

result in the unification of that country, but ended with an armistice agreement. It’s estimated that the U.S. lost 33,700 members of the military, and 103,000 were wounded. When America entered that war, it didn’t anticipate that China would contribute hundreds of thousands of troops, transforming a relatively local battle into an international showdown. The strategic location of South Korea has been of major importance to the United States, which makes the current situation in that country so confusing. Trump recently pulled back U.S. support for strategic war games, apparently as a favor to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Trump is seeking to renew what he describes as a friendship with Kim, which experts agree is, at best, a waste of time. Our adventure in Iraq should be added to the list of doubtful wars conducted by the U.S. military. While we succeeded in removing Saddam Hussein, a brutal dictator, there were setbacks. We started the war with the goal of finding stockpiles of so-called weapons of mass destruction, but none were ever found. In addition, the failure to

e’s compared it with Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan. Not the best idea.

recruit the Iraqi army to our side turned their soldiers into our sworn enemies and triggered a civil war. America lost more than 4,400 troops. The U.S. has won a number of significant conflicts in recent decades — the invasions of Grenada (1983) and Panama (1989-1990) and the Gulf War (19901991). Of course, whether we “win” sometimes depends on how you define a military victory. Occasionally these wins end with political solutions. What would you call the war with Iran? It’s currently a standoff, with the Strait of Hormuz still closed. Trump is now considering declaring the strait some kind of American property, but that idea isn’t exactly acceptable to everyone else in the region. In the meantime, the Iranians feel emboldened by virtue of the fact that there is a stalemate. Trump has declared a number of times that the warring parties are close to a deal, but it never happens. Historians tend to attach presidents’ names to lost wars, and there’s little doubt that Trump will own the Iran War.

Solving the who-needs-to-know mystery

nformation has never been easier to share — and somehow, it has never been easier to misunderstand. A text message can reach a dozen people in seconds. Emails can be forwarded with a click. Group chats keep families, friends and co-workers connected. Businesses communicate through websites, social media, apps and automated messages. Yet confusion remains remarkably common. Often, the problem isn’t that people disagree. It’s that they’re working with different information. One person thinks the family gathering starts at 2, while another was told 3. Two employees complete the same task because no one clearly assigned responsibility. A customer expects one thing, because that’s what a website says, only to hear something different from an employee. A plan changes, but the people affected never get the message. Then come the assumptions. People fill in gaps when information is missing. They guess what someone meant. They assume someone else handled a task. When things go wrong, frustration can quickly become anger or resentment. We should advocate for something simple but too often overlooked: better coordination and clearer communication. That doesn’t mean turning every decision into a meeting, copying everyone on every email or creating another group chat. It means being intentional. Who needs to know? What do they need to know? Who is responsible? Has

letters How much did county residents pay for that presidential rally? To the Editor: Re President Trump’s rally at the Nassau County Police Department’s training facility on Aug. 14 (“A high-profile Blakeman backer pays a visit,” Aug. 20-26): The rally’s theme was public safety, and how Nassau County is the safest county in the U.S. The truth is that our county first achieved that accolade under the leadership of then County Executive Laura Curran. As I watched the rally on television, it sure looked like a campaign event, with everyone running for office on the Republican ticket invited up to the stage to receive the president’s endorsement. The backdrop for all of this was the hundreds of police officers and trainees who were cheering on the same president who pardoned the folks who attacked police officers on Jan. 6, 2021,

something changed? If it has, have the affected people been told? Consider your family. Planning a birthday party, a holiday gathering or a weekend outing can get complicated when several people make arrangements independently. Maybe someone buys food that someone else already bought. A guest is given one time, while everyone else has another. A few minutes spent making sure everyone has the same information can prevent hours of frustration. The same applies to friends and coworkers. When plans change, people need to know. When responsibilities are divided, everyone should understand who is doing what. When there’s uncertainty, asking a question is almost always better than making an assumption. Businesses and organizations have a responsibility, too. Customers shouldn’t have to navigate conflicting information depending on whether they visit a website, receive an email or speak with an employee. If hours change, services become unavailable or procedures are different, that information should be updated where customers are most likely to find it. Clear communication also means acknowledging when something has changed. Too often, people continue operating according to an outdated plan because no one made the extra call, sent the email or had the necessary conversation. A few minutes of communication can head off lots of unnecessary work. Communication is a two-way respon-

sibility. Sending information isn’t enough; sometimes we need to make sure it was understood. That can be as simple as asking, “Does everyone understand the plan?” or “Are we all on the same page?” Clarity builds trust. When people know what is expected, who is responsible and where things stand, they’re more likely to feel respected and confident. When information is unclear, people are left to guess — and guessing is where misunderstandings begin. There’s a broader lesson for our communities. Schools, municipalities, civic organizations, nonprofits and businesses are more likely to earn cooperation when people understand what is happening and why. Clear communication makes it easier for residents and customers to participate and understand decisions. The answer isn’t necessarily more emails, meetings or messages. It is better information delivered to the right people at the right time, with clear responsibility for what happens next. Before assuming someone else handled something or becoming frustrated because someone “should have known,” we should first ask whether they were actually told. In our families, friendships and workplaces and our dealings with businesses and organizations, we can all do a better job of making sure the right people have the right information.

he last column I wrote was an obituary for my husband, don, who died in July. this month I hoped to move on to my usual subjects like politics, or the life and times of my grandkids, or the weird and wonderful touchstones of our evolving culture. In 40 years of column writing, I’ve never been at a loss for words. But this loss is different. I discovered that I’m not myself anymore; more challenging, I’m not sure who I am. When you’re a partner in a 58-year-long marriage, identity becomes somewhat fluid. We were a “we” and now I’m an “I.” the reminders are constant, some profound, some silly. When would I ever buy one banana? How do I change the lightbulbs? I’d like to step out to dinner, but I’ve never sat across from an empty chair. I walk the dog and realize that no one would know if I fell into the bushes and spent the night alfresco.

I’m not feeling sorry for myself, just observing from an emotional distance how the scenery, the characters and the story have changed completely. And I’m not yet sure what part I’m playing. I explored not doing what I ordinarily do. I ate a sweet potato and a bowl of Haagen dazs for dinner. no protein-starch-vegetable pyramid. I stayed up all night and slept all morning. I went to the mailbox in our building and realized I couldn’t reach it. that was donnie’s job. Sometimes I find myself wondering where he could’ve gone. How is this possible? We have A.I. Why hasn’t someone figured this out? I see signs in nature and out of nature, like the perfect, long-stemmed red rose that came floating my way in the ocean. I’m a super-grounded person, yet I’m willing to let my thoughts take flight. of course, I’m reading all the grief literature and, of course, on facebook, thanks to its mind -reading algorithms, everything that has ever been published about grief is on my page. I’ve heard more from elizabeth Kubler-ross

Letters at the U.S. Capitol. I wonder how much of our county funds, raised by residents’ taxes, were spent on salaries and overtime to have those police in the stands, provide protection for the president and close our streets and highways for the convoy of vehicles through our county that day. Is that the wisest way to use our county tax dollars? How does this help our citizens and communities? BIll YoUngfert Franklin Square

A stronger grid for Long Island to the editor: this month marked the 23rd anniversary of the northeast blackout that left 50 million residents in the dark. the event is a stark reminder of what can happen when critical transmission infrastructure fails, and why projects like Propel nY are essential. electric transmission is the backbone of our energy system, moving electricity long distances from where it’s generated to the communities that depend on it. While we have made progress since the 2003 blackout, the lesson from that historic event remains clear: our grid is only as strong as its weakest link. the state’s grid operator, new York

in the past month than in my entire life, and she’s been dead for 22 years. “Uplifting” poetry and exotic mourning rituals fill my page. Strangest of all, I’ve heard from people out of the past — the way, way past. People I knew in college or my first job, people who heard from a friend of a friend and just wanted to say what a champ my donnie was. How sweet that so many people stop for a moment and write down words that will land in my mailbox and lighten the weight of these days, even briefly. this is part of what I do now in these early days: I curate the memories of our life together. My kids and I try to figure out the unfathomable. We distract ourselves with activity and open books we never actually read. My other job is saying yes. According to the experts, I must say yes to every opportunity to see people, even though they may be irritating nudniks who were never part of my life. And I need to join widows’ groups, friends advise. But wait; I want to embrace my old friends. I like the cou-

Independent System operator, has been sounding the alarm about growing reliability challenges on long Island and in the downstate region. Winter cold snaps and summer heat waves are putting enormous strain on the grid, requiring emergency procedures to keep the lights on. Without investment, the region faces increasing risk to energy reliability. Propel nY is a key solution to ensure that long Island and the downstate region have the necessary infrastructure to deliver power for our growing needs. Put simply, Propel is designed to avoid brownouts and blackouts while strengthening the local economy and lowering the cost of power. our transmission network operates like a highway system, and it’s now experiencing bumper-to-bumper traffic. Power that could serve the area can’t get here efficiently or economically due to bottlenecks on aging transmission lines. Picture the throgs neck and Whitestone bridges at rush hour, with deadstopped traffic. Propel is the equivalent of adding three new “bridges” between long Island and the statewide grid to create new pathways for power flows. It will reduce congestion, lower electricity costs and significantly reduce the risk of power interruptions. Propel doesn’t rely on one generation source — whatever power is available and less expensive can move on Propel. this provides the nYISo with more flexibility to power the region with modern underground cables, even under

ples, the women and men with whom we dined and hung out. they, especially, share my memories. no friendship possibility need be exclusionary. the categorization of women whose partner has died is problematic. I have always had difficulty with the word “widow.” there is something about the word, which comes from old english and meant “lonely,” “separate” and “divide.” And, of course, the spider. I don’t think we need to be identified by our marital status. recently I was filling out a form, and it asked if I was married, single, widowed, divorced. And I thought, nobody’s damn business. My husband’s death should not change my official identity. except maybe for Social Security. for my next column, I promise, I’ll stay anchored in the everyday world. Maybe back to politics. When I wrote don’s obituary, I received dozens of supportive, loving notes from readers, and I thank you all. this has set a new standard for me. ordinarily when I open an email, I’m expecting big-time political push back. this was a sweet, healing interlude, connecting with readers heart to heart. let it be.
