Town given update on Grand at Baldwin development

By ANDRE SIlVA asilva@liherald.com

Many in the Baldwin commu nity are supporting the develop ment of a mixed-use, transit-ori ented project that was the main item on the agenda of a Hemp stead Town Board hearing on Monday.

The Grand at Baldwin is a proposed $100 million, five-story apartment building that would be constructed by Breslin Realty Development Corp. on the south east corner of Sunrise Highway and Grand Avenue. If approved, it would feature 215 apartments on the second through fifth floors and mixed commercial use

on the first floor.

On Monday, the Town Board was updated on the status of the development, which would be built in the Baldwin Mixed-Used Zoning Overlay District. Erik Mahler, president of the Baldwin Chamber of Commerce, other merchants and residents attend ed the hearing to show their sup port for the development, while others cited concerns about traf fic problems that the develop ment might create.

The board scheduled another hearing for Nov. 22, at which it will assess the results of an envi ronmental review of the pro posed development.

The 1.7-acre property, at 2134-

2138 Grand, is now a vacant lot used for parking by a car dealer, and is directly across Sunrise Highway from the Baldwin Long Island Rail Road station.

Transit-oriented development is a type of urban planning that maximizes residential, commer cial and leisure space within walking distance of public trans portation. Breslin Realty said it

designed the building with set backs five to 10 feet back from the curbs along Grand and Sun rise in order to include more pedestrian-friendly elements like delineated sidewalks and plant ers, as well as bollards along the sidewalk to protect pedestrians from the street.

The Grand at Baldwin would have 46 studio apartments, 138

one-bedroom units and 31 twobedrooms, with rents starting at $2,500, $2,700 and $3,500, respec tively. Twenty-two of the apart ments — five of the studios, 14 of the one-bedrooms and three of the two-bedrooms — would be socalled “workforce” housing, with lower rents.

Spring

By ANDRE SILVA asilva@liherald.com

The people of Baldwin journeyed through the rain this weekend to clear their homes of clutter and waste.

Sanitary District Number 2 held another Shed-theMeds document shredding, medicine disposal, and e-cycle drop off event this Saturday, October 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Sanitation district Number 2 garage located on 2080 Grand Avenue.

Baldwin residents like Carolan Minton, came down to the event to dispose of her waste, as she’s done many times in the past. She said she found out about the event on Sanitation District 2’s Facebook page and made her way down to the event, in a car stocked with disposable waste.

“They do this event all the time, a couple of times a year, and I’ve never missed one,” said Minton. “I typical ly bring medication and my old sensitive documents to be shredded.”

Minton said she looks forward to the Shred-the-Med events because it gives her a chance to clean up and remove the clutter from her house. She said the rain didn’t stop her from coming out — she had this day marked on the calendar, filled her car with prepared bags of waste and came out to dispose of it.

“I like watching my stuff get shredded on the screen, because it makes me feel that my stuffs really being dis posed of,” said Minton.

John Cools, chairman of the board of commissioners, said Shred-the-Meds was one of the first events of its kind in the Town of Hempstead, 12 years running.

“Sani 2 leads the way,” said Cools. “We tend to start programs and the town usually follows.”

in the fall with Sani

Cools said this event, like others was adopted by the Town of Hempstead after suc cessfully running the event themselves. He said Sanitation District Number 2 started the first recycling program in the town of Hempstead.

“We made a recycling truck, using scrap parts and the body of a regular garbage truck,” said Cools.

Cools said the Town of Hempstead has since adopted a number of Sanitation Dis trict Number 2’s initiatives.

“We’re not copy cats around here,” said Leroy Roberts, a Sanitation District Number 2 commissioner.

Roberts said he spearheaded the removal of graffiti around residential and commer cial zones in Baldwin, prompting the Town of Hempstead adopt their own. Similarly, he said Sanitation District Number 2 used to sweep and clear debris from the streets prior to Memorial Day parade, which was made obsolete when the Town of Hempstead start ed their own street sweeping.

This year the event was co-sponsored by Assemblywoman Mule, and Legislator Judy Griffin, in tandem with the Town of Hemp stead Employees Federal Credit Union and the Baldwin Council Against Drug Abuse.

Their sponsorships help contract Datastruction, Inc., an on-site shredding company, and wit ness burn medical waste at Covanta, an industrial waste management and energy company.

“This is a great opportunity to safely and securely dis

pose of unwanted documents, medications and electron ic waste,” said Mule’. “The best part is you can do all of this without even getting out of your car.”

Sanitation District 2 said the next Shred-the-Meds event would be held in April of 2023.

Baldwin Seniors break in new bingo machine

By ANDRE SILVA asilva@liherald.com

Senior centers are the stadiums where bingo is played and the Baldwin Senior Center just got an upgrade — a new bingo machine.

Bingo is a common, family-friendly game enjoyed by seniors. Its fast paced, and helps elderly people maintain their hand-eye coordination and reflexes, which deteriorate with age.

Elder residents got their first taste of Bingo using their newly gifted 3000-dol lar Allied bingo machine on Friday morning on Septem ber 30 at the Baldwin Senior Center located 1810 Grand Avenue. The bingo machine was gifted to the senior cen ter on September 23, in a surprise reveal by Supervi sor Don Clavin and the Town of Hempstead.

Clacin hosted the first game, and residents sat themselves in rows, pencils in hand — eagerly marking off their bingo forms until finally Jobyna Lampkin, a Baldwin Senior Center resi dent, stood up and yelled, “Bingo.”

them,” said Melendez.

Melendez took over hosting the bingo game after Clavin. She said the bingo games tend to bring out a large crowd of senior residents, as they typically play for a four dollar and six dollar prize.

Don Clavin, Town of Hempstead supervisor, said he and the town board took it upon themselves to support and provide new equipment for the town’s senior residents. He said he thought the old machine was antiquated and decid ed the town would provide a new machine.

these residents are what make Baldwin a special place to be and live, and it’s our obligation to make sure they are enjoying themselves.

DoN CLAVIN

Lampkin — one of the day’s winners — approached the bingo machine, verified her results and claimed her reward for winning the round. She said she likes the new bingo machine because hard of hearing resi dents can rely on the large bingo screen rather than listening to the numbers called.

Town of Hempstead Supervisor

At a Luau themed event last Friday, September 23, Clavin mocked the old bingo machine — a small, hand-cranked machine — and told the crowd, “This machine sucks. You deserve a better one.” He then told the crowd he got them a new machine and to their surprise, wheeled it into the room.

“It’s a great visual, it really brightens up the room, and their excited about it,” said Clavin.

Clavin said the bingo machine was set up the fol lowing week, tested, and prepared for its first game. He said they plan to expand on introducing new equip ment and games to seniors and enhance their experi ence in the other 14 senior centers in the Town of Hempstead.

Joan Melenedez, president of the senior center, said she loves hosting bingo games for the senior residents. She said it’s incredibly helpful to have numbers on a large screen while con ducting bingo games.

“I think they [the residents] love it. Its really nice to have a visual aid for

“We decided that’s something we want to focus on, and made it our initia tive tr provide for these senior,” said Clavin. “These residents are what make Baldwin a special place to be and live, and it’s our obligation to make sure they are enjoying themselves.”

The Baldwin Senior Center and bingo is available to all Town of Hemp stead Senior Center residents. Residents can call, and fill out their information on registration forms to play.

Home sales fall, but prices tick up

Higher mortgage interest rates appear to be cutting into home sales in August across the state, but closing prices contin ue to rise.

Closed sales fell 11 percent year over year to 13,740 units, according to the New York State Association of Realtors, while new listings dropped more than 15 per cent. Yet, median sales prices climbed nearly 4 percent to $405,000 — the 28th consecutive month to see a median sales price rise.

New listings were also down more than 15 percent in Nassau County, while closed sales totaled just under 1,400 — a 16 per cent decline from 2021. The median sales price, however, grew 5 percent to $701,250.

Real estate professionals are working with less than three months of housing supply, which continues to decline. Experts call a six-month supply to be a sign of a balanced market.

Lindsay becomes VP at Northwell

She was one of the first Americans to be vaccinated against the virus that causes Covid-19, and even received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

But now Sandra Lindsay has a new role — vice president of public health advocacy for Northwell Health.

Lindsay spent 29 years in nursing, most recently as director of nursing and critical care at the Long Island Jew ish Medical Center in New Hyde Park. She also led the front lines during the pandemic, not just during the first wave begin ning in March 2020, but by also volunteering to be the first in-line to get the Pfizer vac cine on Dec. 14, 2020.

As a woman of color — and a proud Jamaican immigrant — Lindsay inspired communities of color and those in the Caribbean community to trust the vac cine. Her ID badge and scrubs now reside at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

Lindsay immigrated in 1986, and grad uated from Manhattan Community Col lege in 1993 as valedictorian of her nurs ing program. She later earned her bache lor’s from St. Joseph’s University in Patchogue, a master’s degree from Lehm an College in the Bronx, and an MBA from Hofstra University.

Lindsay joined Lenox Hill Hospital soon after as an oncology nurse, before moving to LIJ.

ERASE Racism, a leading regional organization that promotes racial equity on Long Island, has a new face. Laura Harding became the group’s president on Sept. 19, replacing its founder and leader for 21 years, Elaine Gross.

The search for a new pres ident began in April, when Gross announced her depar ture. Gross created the orga nization in 2001, and led it to prominence by heightening public understanding of structural racism.

Harding, 48, was born in Barbados and grew up in Brooklyn. She earned an undergraduate degree from Adelphi University, a master’s in social service administration from the Univer sity of Chicago and a law degree from Howard University.

A public advocate and attorney with extensive experience in promoting racial justice, equity and inclusion, Harding said that she didn’t initially seek out a role at ERASE Racism. She was working as a co-chair of the Racial Justice &

Equity Team in the office of the Deputy Mayor for Education in Washington, D.C.

“I was doing some really incredible work and getting ready to expand my portfolio in D.C.,” Harding explained. “A recruiter approached me, and they were like, ‘Hey, we’re looking for the next lead er of ERASE Racism, and your name came up.’”

One thing led to another, Harding said, and she agreed to an interview. “Once I did my research and talked to a couple of people who worked with ERASE Racism,” she said, “I was extremely excit ed about being considered as a possibility for the posi tion.”

When she left her job in Washington, Harding said, she took time off to prepare to build on the foundation Gross had established.

“My first few days have been spent just really reaching out to different board members and arranging meetings to introduce myself,” she said on Sept. 20.

“It’s been exciting to relearn Long Island, and understand who the people are, who the communities are, and who I need to meet.”

Harding said she wanted to take the time to get to know the group’s stake holders — people directly impacted by its work. “I think when you are an organiza tion like ERASE, a lot of our time is spent among professionals — the elected officials, the community-based organiza tions, and subject-matter experts,” she explained. “I want to be mindful that I also have access to the voices of the people who we are work ing for.”

Harding said she finds all of ERASE Racism’s work to be important, but the two things she’s most interested in developing are its advoca cy and community education branches. “It allows us to develop and build capacity in students and regular commu nity members to advocate for themselves and their needs,” she said, “to ensure they’re being serviced and supported in an equitable way.”

Gross said that Harding’s extensive resume made her the right choice to suc ceed her. “It is thrilling for me to see a new president with a breadth of experi ence appointed to ERASE Racism,” Gross said. “I am delighted that (she) will

be succeeding me, and that she will be setting the course for ERASE Racism going forward.”

Edward Pichardo, co-chair of the organization’s board of directors, agreed. “ERASE Racism is fortunate to have someone with her depth of skills come into the lead[???] this illustrious organization,” Pichardo stated in a press release last week.

ERASE has done tremen dous work, Harding said, but a lot still needs to be accom plished. “If you look at what’s happening, certainly in New York state, on Long Island and across the nation, there clearly is still a lot of work to be done,” she said. “I think there’s a place for the organization — a place to contribute to ensuring that Long Island remains a beautiful, inclusive and equi table place to live.

“I’m excited to be here,” Harding added, “and I’m excited to lead ERASE Racism’s work, and I look forward to con necting with our various communities and stakeholders to hear their thoughts, and hopefully advocate for them in a way that’s powerful.”

Baldwin avenges playoff loss

By BRiaN KaChaRaBa sports@liherald.com

There are few things sweeter in sports than beating a team that eliminated you from the playoffs the year before, especial ly in dramatic fashion on their home field.

Biverly Brutus scored the game-win ning goal with 18 seconds left and Josue Ascencio-Cueva made four saves and pre vented a defensive disaster at the final horn as the Baldwin boys’ soccer team continued their strong start with a 2-1 win at Syosset on Sept. 28.

Justin Jean-Louis tied the game early in the second half and William Zelaya assisted on both goals for the Bruins, who avenged last year’s 1-0 home playoff loss to the eighth-seeded Braves last October. Baldwin was the top seed in that quarter final matchup and carried an 13-game unbeaten streak (9-0-4) into the contest.

“Anytime you win a game with [18] sec onds left is a crazy feeling and to do it against a team that knocked you out last year really says something,” coach Chris Soupios said.

It was Baldwin’s third straight win after suffering a 2-0 loss to Port Washing ton on Sept. 20. The Bruins’ fifth one-goal victory of 2022 pushed their overall record to 7-1-1 and 6-1-1 in Conference AA1.

On the winning goal, Zelaya helped break up a Syosset possession just inside the Bruins’ zone before receiving a pass from Jean-Louis at the Syosset 40-yard line. Zelaya dribbled 25 yards before pass ing the ball through three Brave defend ers to Brutus, who beat the goalkeeper to the left side from the football goal line.

“It was the moment Will got the ball going at them with speed and then he made the quick move, which draws two more players towards him and to see out of the corner of his eye that hole was amazing,” Soupios said.

In a desperate attempt to tie the game, a Syosset midfielder booted a long shot from his own 40 to the Baldwin 5. A Bruin defender tried to head the ball out of harm’s way, but it instead arced towards the Baldwin goal, where Ascencio-Cueva had to run back and tip it over the cross

bar to perverse the heart-stopping win.

All three of Brutus’ points (2 goals, 1 assist) have come in the three-game stretch culminating with the Syosset con test, but Soupios said his contributions this season goes beyond the scoresheet.

“Biverly isn’t seen for the hard work that he does,” Soupios said. “He’s a big body for us up front, we asked a lot of him on the field as far as pressing and pushing the other team on the ball. I feel like Biverly has bought into his role.”

The Bruins, unfortunately, had a late rally fall short two days later in a 3-0 loss to Hempstead. Abiel Cervanes and Zelaya scored their third goals of the season in the last three minutes for the Bruins, who still remain in the hunt for a second straight conference crown with four games left at press time.

Senior Benjamin Hernandez leads the team with five goals and seven points and Jean-Louis also has three tallies this sea son.

South Shore Estuary Reserve Act is updated

By MICHAEL MALASZCZYK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com

Big things are happening with regard to New York state’s plan to keep the South Shore a fun and safe place for beachgoers, kayakers, fishermen and everyone else who enjoys the vast array of marine nature on the shore.

In 1993, the State Legislature passed the Long Island South Shore Estuary Reserve Act, which sought to identify the South Shore, from Long Beach to the western tip of the South Fork, as a single estuary, despite the fact that it falls under various local jurisdictions. The legislation gave the state the ability to respond to the South Shore’s environmental needs with a com prehensive plan, as opposed to local gov ernments potentially dealing with envi ronmental issues in different ways.

To ensure that counties and towns were not left in the dark on the state’s activities, a council was created for the estuary reserve, consisting of representa tives of the New York Department of State, Nassau and Suffolk counties and numerous municipalities and conserva tion organizations.

Since then, the state has been able to act unilaterally on behalf of the estuary. The program was updated in 2001, when the Legislature passed a Comprehensive Management Plan, which dedicated more than $660 million to maintaining and improving the South Shore’s water quali

ty, its ecosystems, opportunities for public use and enjoyment, its economy, and flood resilience.

It was determined this year, however, that more action was needed to protect the estuary. Last week, officials announced that the Comprehensive Management Plan had been updated to include the reduction of nutrient pollution, the restoration of wetlands, improvements in sea grass and shellfish habitat, and increased public edu cation on the reserve. The latter will involve expanded public relations efforts with news media to increase the reserve’s visibility, and more educational programs involving local organizations.

The goals of the updated plan are to improve the South Shore environment by enhancing the management of wild fish populations as well as invasive species, and promoting natural habitat restoration.

Stony Brook University will work with environmental organizations such as Operation SPLASH and Save the Great South Bay on efforts to preserve water quality, focusing on fighting harmful algae blooms and ensuring that towns within the reserve work with the state to limit the pollutants that enter the estuary’s water system.

Local, county, and state politicians said they were pleased with the updates to the management plan. State Parks Commis sioner Erik Kulleseid had high praise.

“During this important week for those of us who love the outdoors, I commend this

plan for stewardship of Long Island’s South Shore,” he said last Friday. “The public’s ability to use, access and enjoy tributaries and shorelines is critical, and planning will ensure positive results going forward.”

Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin has focused on making residents aware of all that the South Shore ecosys tem has to offer. Clavin and Town Council man Christopher Carini recently helped open another kayak launch on the South Shore Blueway Trail, which wends it way across Nassau County’s portion of the South Shore that is accessible by kayak and canoe.

“The Long Island South Shore Estuary Reserve is home to a rich array of environ mental diversity, and contributes greatly to the fabric of our township’s unique coastal nature area,” Clavin said. “The Town of

A vIEw of the Jones Beach Inlet and Long Beach from Jones Beach’s West End jetty.

All are a part of the South Shore Estuary Reserve.

Hempstead will continue working with our partners at all levels of government to ensure our South Shore environments are safeguarded for generations.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul said she was happy with the expansion of the state’s conserva tion plan, and hoped it would bear fruit for the South Shore.

“Protecting Long Island’s waterways and shorelines has never been more important as we face the growing and unprecedented effects of climate change and regular threats to water quality and ecological health,” Hochul said. “I am proud to announce this Comprehensive Management Plan for the South Shore Estuary Reserve, which is a rich and diverse ecosystem that not only provides key benefits to Long Island’s economy, rec reation and tourism, but also better pre pares New York for a changing climate.”

The kind of ‘funny money’ that helps … charity

Recorded comedy show, Helping Thru Humor, comes to Molloy University

By DANIEL OFFNER doffner@liherald.com

Laughter is the best medicine. It can also be a great way to help raise money for charity.

Helping Thru Humor, a non-profit fundrais ing platform, is recording a live comedy special at Molloy University’s Madison Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 15, which will be broadcast online to help raise money for special needs charities all over the state.

This one-of-a-kind performance was the brainchild of Jason Plawner, who traces the concept’s origins back to his youth. He was a trumpet player in his high school’s competitive marching band, and later transferred that tal ent to a drum corps.

Pursuing such a path was a very expensive undertak ing, Plawner said, which was commonly financed through grants, donations, sales and membership dues.

“It was getting so expensive to take part,” Plawner said. “At one point, it was reaching close to $6,000 a year.”

Looking to not only raise money for one drum corps — but all of them — Plawner created Helping Thru Humor. And instead of limiting such fundraising to just the audi ence that could physically show up, Plawner teamed up with Michelle Ciardulli — co-chair of the Long Island Motion Picture Arts Center and Museum, and a Molloy graduate — to assemble the charity event, and broadcast it across the state.

“I’m looking forward to putting on a wonderful show,” Plawner said, “and that all of the charities participating will come out raising more money than they ever thought possible.”

The performance will feature the brother-sister duo Derrick and Julie Tennant and comedian Bobby Collins,

who will take the stage to help raise money for charities including 14 Sleeves, A Chance to Dance and The Forum School.

Collins is a renowned New York stand-up comic with 40 years of experience under his belt. He has opened for icon ic entertainers like Frank Sinatra, Cher and Dolly Parton, as well as Jerry Seinfeld, Ray Romano and Chris Rock.

Collins is dedicated to the cause as one of the charities the event it supporting, Zeno Mountain Farm, is a non

profit camp in Vermont where his daughter Madison has trekked to for more than a decade. It’s intended as a place where everyone can enjoy the camp experience, even if they live with disabilities.

Derrick and Julie Tennant, otherwise known as the Love Chromosome, combine their own inspirational sto ries about overcoming adversity with comedy and an inspirational message.

Julie was born with Down syndrome, which is a condi tion that can create cognitive disabilities, developmental delays or physical challenges caused by an extra chromo some. Julie’s grandpa used to tell her that the chromo some in question wasn’t “extra,” but instead was missing in everyone else.

It’s where the nickname comes from, “the love chromo some.”

Derrick was a gifted athlete on his way to really mak ing a career in sports. But one night, he laid down, and didn’t wake up for three days. Doctors said he suffered from “random bleeding,” which paralyzed him after brain surgery, making him unable to move his left side.

Thanks to years of therapy, hard work, and love from his family and friends, Derrick found a way to effectively manage and live with it, reshaping his obstacles into opportunities. Together with his sister, they travel all across the country to share inspirational words of wis dom with others.

The event begins at 8 p.m., at the Madison Theatre at Molloy University, 1000 Hempstead Ave.

Tickets are $45 to attend in-person, and are available online at MadisonTheatreNY.org.

Can’t make it in-person? There will be a chance to watch — and give — online by visiting HelpingThruHu mor.org.

Courtesy the Love Chromosome DERRIck AND JuLIE Tennant are a brother-sister duo who travel the country to share inspirational and meaningful stories. They perform at Molloy University on Oct. 15.

Local artists on view at Heckscher’s Biennial

By Karen Bloom

eckscher Museum of Art has opened its exhibit space to Long Island’s top artists as the Long Island Biennial exhibition gets underway.

The latest edition of the juried exhibition — which features varied works from contemporary artists across Nassau and Suffolk counties — opened last week, offering a unique and exciting snapshot of what is happening artistically here on Long Island.

“The Long Island Biennial always strives to highlight the depth and breadth of contemporary artists working on Long Island,” says curator Karli Wurzelbacher. “This Biennial is one of the most inclusive the museum has presented. Women make up over half of the 57 featured artists. They are also racially and ethnically diverse, and some of them draw upon their heritage in their work.”

More than 445 artists have participated in the exhibit since the Biennial’s opening installation in 2010. This year, the museum received a whopping 732 entries. Interest in this showcase reflects the diversity and enthusiasm of the local creative community.

WHERE WHEN

• Heckscher Museum of Art, 2 Prime Ave., Huntington. (631) 351-3250 or Heckscher.org

• Now, through Jan. 22

The 95 works on view present a lively cross-section of current artistic practice, encompassing a range of media, with styles spanning abstraction to hyper-realism.

“I am especially impressed by the ways in which many of the artists engaged with the concerns of our time, from social justice, to health, to ecology,” Wurzelbacher says, “and appreciate those who brought new approaches to traditional materials and techniques.”

Artists of note include Lynbrook’s Keith Gamache, who submitted a pandemic-inspired piece.“Drawing inspiration from folk art traditions from Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs to the Modernist grid and the contemporary use of text as

image, I have used Masonite pegboard as a painting surface on and off for nearly 30 years,” he explains. “Most recently, together, resulting in my most complex pegboard paintings that combine emblem-like cell structures of the Covid-19 virus with words and phrases related to our collective experience

throughout the pandemic.”

Jason AurelioThomas, of Oyster Bay, contributed a mixed media of steel wire, plaster, plaster cloth, resin, acrylic paint piece called “And How Does That Make You Feel?” (steel wire, plaster, plaster cloth, resin, acrylic paint).

“My creative work is an attempt to evoke an inner curiosity that urges the viewer to come in close and have a sensory experience with the texture and colors,” he notes. “The desire to explore the shadows and textures of something is so primal, sensual and very inspiring to me.”

Wantagh’s Kayla Moz is represented by her sculpture, “The One I Lost, The One I Hold.”

“As an artist, I have the luxury of processing my world through my art,” she shares. “Self-portraiture is a tool to access my inner life and document my experiences. Pregnancy has impacted every aspect of my life. Who I am and how I am perceived is developing and growing with my baby. To make artwork about pregnancy is to discover this evolving version of myself.”

As always, the exhibit experience is enhanced by related programming, featuring participating artists. Upcoming events include sessions to meet the artists in the galleries, select Sundays, through Dec. 11.

Top: Jason Aurelio Thomas is inspired by the world around him, resulting in a mixed media work.

Middle: Keith Gamache used a folk art style in his pandemic creation, ‘Covid-19 Vol. 1: Social Distancing.’

’33 (a kabarett)

Inspired by the true story of the fallen Eldorado Club in Berlin, during the rise of the Nazis, ’33 (a kabarett) speaks to the past and present as it recreates the cabaret’s final night in 1933. Performed and written by Bremner Duthie, the darkly humorous monodrama is based directly on texts of survivors and oppressors from the 1930s, and also on texts from periods of cultural repression up to the present day. ’33 offers a hopeful and realistic insight into the struggle against censorship and repression. It speaks to the challenge of honoring the memory of the disappeared. It says we must grieve in sorrow, but we can choose to fight back with energy, humor, laughter, and life.

Saturday, Oct. 8, 8 p.m. $35, $30, $25. Jeanne Rimsky Theater at Landmark on Main Street, 232 Main St., Port Washington. (516) 767-6444 or LandmarkOnMainStreet.org.

Business owners welcome new development

is part of the Baldwin Downtown Revital ization Initiative — a $10 million grant awarded to the Town of Hempstead and Baldwin by the state to redevelop and revi talize the area around the LIRR station — and many Baldwin residents and business es expressed their support for the effort to attract new residents and businesses.

Deirdre Stammers, owner Glorybeezzz

Thrift with a Twist, said she had been waiting for a long time for new develop ment in Baldwin.

“We’ve been in a state of staleness and blight for years, and I’m so excited for the start of revitalization in Baldwin,” Stam mers said. “All these other Long Island towns, like Rockville Center, did their revi talizations. It’s time for ours.”

Baldwin, Stammers said, would benefit from the development by attracting more merchants, who would be keen to capital ize on an increase in foot traffic. It would

also increase the housing supply in Bald win, she added, directly benefiting young Long Island residents, who as things stand, “can’t afford a thing,” Stammers said. “… With more housing, maybe life in Long Island can be more affordable and we can keep our young people here.”

Genaro Lopez, owner of New Old Ven ice Inn, and Brenda Khabie, owner of Ultra Lanes Baldwin Bowl and Lounge, said they, too, would welcome the new development. “It will bring more people into the town, where they will hopefully go bowling, go to the billiards hall and shop at the supermarket,” Khabie said. “If it adds more foot traffic and helps more business es, why not?”

At a Chamber of Commerce meeting on Sept. 14, Mahler said that organization members enthusiastically supported the development of the Grand at Baldwin. “It’s been so long since anyone has built any thing in this community,” Mahler said.

OBITUARIES

George Tripptree died of Trade Center related illness

Born in Baldwin, George Tripptree was a retired New York City FDNY firefighter, and proud member of the FDNY LAD 173/Engine 275. George spent much of his career working alongside Ladder 173.

Tripptree died of World-Trade Cen ter related illnesses on September 23. He was 70.

Tripptree’s brother is still an active duty FDNY Battalion Chief. His par ents, George and Marge, and his broth er James predeceased him. His sib lings, Margaret Klein, Teresa O’Donnell, Joseph Margaret, John Janet, Ann Marie Weber, Martin Chan tal and Thomas, survive him.

Visitation for his service was held on Monday, September 26th 2022 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Towers Funeral Home Inc. locat ed on 2681 Long Beach Rd, Oceanside, NY 11572. A mass and burial was held on Tuesday, September 27 at 10:45 a.m. at the St. Christopher’s RC Church located on 11 Gale Ave, Baldwin, NY 11510.

Instead of flowers, the Tripptree family requests all donations be made to the Ray Pfeifer Foundation — an organization that provides people with various medical needs not covered by insurance.

His death follows the latest records on post-9/11 deaths, which is quickly approaching the number of firefight ers who died in the World Trade Cen ter attack — 343 firefighters.

The FDNY reports more than 300 members of the FDNY have died with

World-Trade Center related illnesses, with more than 1,000 firefighters bat tling cancer to this day.

According to Micheal Crane direc tor of the Mount Sinai Hospital World Trade Center Health Program Clinical Center of Excellence, nearly 10,000 first responders and others present at the World Trade Center 9/11 attacks have been diagnosed with cancer, and more than 2,000 deaths are attributed to World trade Center related illnesses. They said they expect more people to die from toxic exposure to the debris caused by the 9/11 attacks than those killed that day.

Rethinking the garage

Q. Our two-car garage faces the street, but we’re making a lot of changes to our house, and want to open the garage door from our side yard instead of the front, partly because it will look nicer and also because it will give us privacy when we use it for shade in hot weather with the door open. We have always kept it organized so our cars fit. The problem is, we aren’t sure we have the room to make the turn, or whether there are rules about how much room we need for a driveway in our side yard. What permits do we need, how much space do we need and do we need our neighbor’s permission?

A. I remember, grow ing up, that there was a new development being built where one of the advertised features was that the garages didn’t face the street. The mar keting term they used was to call these homes “estate homes,” partly, I believe, because they needed more land and a greater dis tance between neighbors. I also remember that the homes were arranged so the neighbors didn’t have a view out of side win dows, looking into one another’s garages.

Ask The Architect

Your idea of creating another covered area to sit outdoors on hot, sunny days makes sense. Because there are no requirements for neighbor’s permis sion, or that residences require prescribed parking dimensions, your only problem is whether you have the turning area, also known to planners as turn ing radius.

If you’ve ever noticed that street corners are uniformly rounded, it’s because they’re regulated. The same goes for parking lots, where we use a 5-foot radius for turning at a right angle, and the backup aisle is 24 feet wide. If you have more than 24 feet for the side-yard distance from your garage to your property line, plus a few extra feet, hopeful ly, to plant hedges, then you should have no prob lem laying out the new driveway approach.

Plans and a permit are required to show the structural change for the new garage door opening so your roof is correctly supported. You should hire an architect or engineer, since the plans will require a professional’s seal. If your home is in one of the many smaller villages that require the pav ing to be “permeable,” allowing rainwater to seep through and recharge groundwater, then you have more to do, which is why a professional should be hired to calculate and make recommendations on the least costly or least invasive way to handle drainage.

It’s true that this used to be simple, and it may even seem simple when you talk to a building offi cial and they use phrases like “all you need to do” or “you just need” or “your architect will know.” These phrases give the impression that this should be simple, another word for cheap. The only thing that makes it simple is when the explanations given to you are thorough and clear, and the planning is, too. Good luck!

One kind of identity politics is no longer a winner

There are all kinds of people who seek public office. Some are for mer government officials hoping to work their way up the political ladder. Others are businesspeople look ing to transfer their skills from their world into the political world. A third class of candidates is the progressives who’ve never met a payroll and often don’t match the public’s percep tion of what a can didate should look and act like.

The fourth variety of office seeker is the celeb rity candidate who would like to parlay his or her name recognition into elective office. There’s a long his tory of celebrity candidates who’ve looked to turn fame into a different kind of power. Some of them have been sports heroes. The earli est one I could find was Walter Johnson, who pitched for the Washington Senators for almost 25 years and then, after he retired, ran for county commissioner in Montgomery County, Maryland. He suc ceeded in winning a term and then ran unsuccessfully for Congress.

The list of more recent sports figures who took the plunge into politics is head

ed by former New York Knicks star Bill Bradley. Bradley was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he served three terms. In 2000 he decided to run for president, and his loss in the Democratic primary ended his political career.

Ben Knighthorse Camp bell went from competing in judo in the 1964 Olympic Games to representing Col orado in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. Professional wres tler Jessie Ventura became governor of Minnesota, star pitcher Jim Bunning served in both the House and the Senate, and there were many more.

California is known for producing movie and televi sion star candidates. The first one was George Murphy, a leading man of Holly wood musicals in the 1930s and ’40s who became a U.S. Senator. We all know the biggest success story of all, that of B movie actor Ronald Reagan, and then there was Arnold Schwarzenegger, who turned his bodybuilder persona into that of a successful actor as well, and then California’s governor.

The list of celebrities, some better known than others, who went into poli tics during or after film or television careers includes Shirley Temple Black, Cynthia Nixon, Sonny Bono, Clint East

wood, Sean Duffy, Clay Aiken, Fred Grandy, George Takei, Melissa Gilbert and John David Lodge. The current ros ter of former media stars is headed by Donald Trump, whose show “The Apprentice” gave him access to millions of viewers who became enthusiastic supporters.

The tendency of wellknown personalities to become candidates contin ues with the upcoming November election. In Pennsylvania, Mehmet Oz is seeking to become a U.S. Senator. Oz gained televi sion fame thanks to Oprah Winfrey, who made him a guest expert on her show. Dr. Oz, as he’s called, had his own show for 10 years, which has given him widespread name recognition.

His Democratic opponent, John Fet terman, lacks a show business back ground, but has attracted attention for his blue-collar-style campaign.

Other well-known names are seeking key positions in several states. Former Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walk er is a Republican Senate candidate in Georgia, opposing Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, and television politi cal commentator Tudor Dixon is the Republican candidate for governor in Michigan, challenging incumbent

Gretchen Whitmer. Both Walker and Dixon have Trump’s endorsement, which may or not be a blessing.

Some prominent figures are not seek ing elective office, but instead will be playing active roles in many contests over the next month. Don’t be surprised if some of the candidates trot out celeb rities as their endorsers. But history has shown that endorsements by big names usually don’t produce votes, and bigname endorsers often loses public sup port for their next movie or television show.

The next 30 days will determine whether any of the latest crop of celebri ties can translate their prominence into winning campaigns.

These days, voters have become more sophisticated when it comes to endorse ments, and if a candidate has taken unpopular positions, no celebrity will make a difference.

This year, issues like abortion, infla tion, crime, education and the fragility of democracy itself are more important than candidates with recognizable names.

Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strate gies, a business development and legisla tive strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

Don’t we all live in the cone of uncertainty?

By the time you read this, all that will be left of Hurricane Ian will be wreckage, loss and grief.

I was floating in the Gulf of Mexico, in a good way, two weeks ago. We have a place there, on the beach, on a bar rier island, at latitude 27.36798 degrees N, longitude -82.62578 degrees W. We were just beginning to hear about a new tropi cal depression that eventually became Ian, a meteorologi cal thresher that shredded the southwest coast of Florida just days later. It made land fall near Fort Myers, an hour south of us, at lati tude 26.64227 degrees N, longi tude -81.86910 degrees W.

When you live on a barrier island in Florida you trade days in paradise for the knowledge that your home and your life are subject to rising tides and increasing ly fierce storms. We all know that no one should ever have built on the barrier islands, but my hunch is, people will rebuild, and developers will put up everlarger hotels and condos on the shoreline.

All the forecasts on Sept. 25 predicted that Tampa, up north, would be ground zero, but by the following day, we were the red-hot bulls-eye of the target zone. Our town issued a mandatory evacuation order and turned off all power and water to the island. We left our place a day before the storm hit, and drove to family in Fort Lauderdale. We’ve done this dance before. Dur ing Hurricane Katrina we were in Fort Lauderdale and had to evacuate to the west coast. Hurricane Sandy scattered us all over.

ing. The day we left our beach, it was like that. The humidity saturated the air. A dome of heat pressed down. The birds were gone.

The small

shift in Ian’s landfall saved us, but doomed our neighbors to the south.

Early word is that our place on the beach is OK. The small shift in landfall saved us, but doomed our neighbors to the south. Our island still has no power or water. A sad note: The magical island of Captiva is flattened. The bridge from Fort Myers is in the Gulf.

I’ve been thinking about the 1948 movie “Key Largo,” with Humphrey Bog art and Lauren Bacall. They are stranded in the Keys as a hurricane slams onshore. What I remember is the sense of menace, the thrum in the air as barometric pres sure falls, the seas turn an ominous shade of green and the birds stop sing

I can only feel lucky. Many thousands of people have no place to sleep. Their belongings, their memories and their jobs have been blown away. Businesses just beginning to recover from Covid-19 losses are in ruins. I know it will get better, and people will rally, but we need to give ourselves a moment. This is yet another once-in-a-lifetime event, another “unprecedented” disaster.

It’s nice that the political players are grinding their teeth and trying to take the high ground, but don’t be fooled; politics rides these waves. Storms can be survived. More frightening is our current political cyclone. The stanchions of our democracy are also disappearing into deep troughs, and who knows if they can rise again?

Hurricane emergencies remind us that steady minds and steady hands at the wheel can help steer us through.

The supersized storms are increasing proof of the environmental crisis. How

many 500-year storms do we need to sur vive before the anti-science refuseniks realize it may still be within our power to curb the emissions and toxins that affect our climate?

The hurricanes, the wildfires, our political divisions, the QAnon crazies and other GOP extremists all seem pulled into a tightening vortex, playing out here and now. A hurricane is an apt metaphor for the forces eroding our democracy. The cleanup effort on the ground in Florida will be monumental. I don’t know what it will take to right this listing ship of state.

For a weekly newspaper columnist, I have been in the right/wrong place many times in my career, able to offer firsthand observations. I was on a beach in New York watching the towers burn on 9/11. I was on a ship in the Arabian Sea on May 2, 2011, the night our military slid Osama bin Laden’s corpse into the water. I was out West last summer amid the wildfires and, two days ago, I was an hour away from ground zero of the storm of the cen tury in Florida.

We all live in the cone of uncertainty. Today, we’re standing. We can offer a hand to those knocked down by the storm.

You have just two minutes to escape a fire

this Sunday is the beginning of National Fire Prevention Week, a century-old public health obser vance created by the National Fire Protection Association that was first offi cially recognized by President Calvin Coolidge in 1925. And it’s no coincidence that you’ll find this week in October, since it commemorates the Great Chica go Fire, which burned more than 17,400 structures beginning on Oct. 8, 1871.

While that certainly sounds like a lot of buildings, the association now esti mates that there are as many as 347,000 house fires in the United States each year. That means that somewhere in America, a home is catching fire every other min ute. Those blazes account for more than $7 billion in property damage, and worse, kill more than 2,600 people and injure over 11,000 more.

And that’s just on the civilian side. Nearly 65,000 firefighters were injured battling blazes in 2020, according to the association, while federal officials report that more than 100 were killed. Firefight ing is clearly one of the most dangerous jobs in America. Yet here on Long Island, nearly all of the 181 fire departments are volunteer.

That’s right. If you ever find yourself calling for help from the fire department, the men and women who show up at your

door are almost certainly first respond ers who get nothing in return for their service except the satisfaction of know ing they can help.

That’s the purest definition of a hero.

It’s also a noble pursuit that has evolved from rather ignoble beginnings. In ancient Rome, a wealthy businessman said to be instrumental in the creation of what would become the Roman Empire — Marcus Licinius Crassus — put togeth er a brigade of 500 slaves tasked with fighting blazes in the city. When smoke hit the sky, these slaves were there.

But with a catch. Crassus would nego tiate with the building owner to buy it for what today would be pennies on the dol lar — while it burned. If the owner sold, Crassus would instruct the slaves to extinguish the flames. If they didn’t sell, Crassus let it burn to the ground.

It would take Roman emperor Nero, in the first century, to build the first true fire brigade — one not seeking to profit from the misery of others — that most credit as the true beginning of one of society’s most essential services.

This year’s Fire Prevention Week cam paign is “Fire won’t wait, plan your escape.” Homes burn faster today than ever before, according to the fire protec tion association. If your home catches fire and you’re inside, you could have less

Randi fooled me — almost

To the Editor:

The title of Randi Kreiss’s column in the Sept. 15-21 issue, “From the queen to the U.S. jester-in-chief,” at long last, I thought, indicated she’d turned her sights from her obsessive hatred of Donald Trump to the realities of President Joe Biden’s makeAmerica-worse-again actions and propos als. Surely “jester-in-chief” referred to the current resident of the White House, and his ongoing hypocrisies and misguided decisions that jeopardize the safety and security of this country, things like redefin ing a student loan to mean a gift, and the continuing denial of the crisis at the south ern border.

But I was wrong. I found this was just another expression of Randi’s continuing obsessive hatred of Trump as the prime evil-doer of all time, mindless of Biden’s ongoing absurdities and self-created crises that have superseded in significance what ever failures Trump may have been respon sible for earlier (and forget his achieve ments).

When Biden took office, Randi decried how she wouldn’t have Trump to push around any more. But old habits die hard.

than two minutes to escape from the moment a smoke alarm sounds.

That means that having a plan in advance is more important than ever. And because every home is different, so will every plan be. The association rec ommends developing individual plans for everyone in a home — children, older adults, people with disabilities.

It’s also imperative to make sure there are smoke alarms in every bedroom, out side every sleeping area — like hallways — and on every level, including the base ment. In fact, the only place you shouldn’t put alarms, the association says, is in your kitchen and bathrooms.

And if you can, hire an electrician to help you link all the alarms — including those for carbon monoxide — together. That way, if there is smoke in one part of the house, it will alert everyone, every where.

We all hope we can live a lifetime never having to call the fire department. Even if we were to be so fortunate, we can sleep soundly at night knowing that those heroes are out there, ready to save us if we are threatened. But we can help keep them safe, too, by making sure we’re ready if we aren’t so fortunate.

So if you see a firefighter this week, say thank you — both in words and by doing your part to stay safe.

She will continue to dismiss Biden’s growing list of failures, intent on pursuing her first love — her hatred of and assault on Trump — even with the crises of crime, recession, inva sion from abroad, and Biden’s lies as to how

well America is doing with him in charge. As jester-in-chief, Randi is beginning to rival Biden himself.

opinions A 54-year-old movie’s warning to Putin

ussian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine hasn’t gone the way he planned. And he doesn’t seem too happy about it.

R

I suppose you wouldn’t be happy, either, if you spent nearly a decade pumping your people full of lies to pre pare them for this invasion. After all, Putin has dedicat ed a ton of resources to mak ing sure his peo ple believe that Ukraine belongs to them, that Ukrainians are actually just con fused Russians or Poles, and that Ukraine is ruled by Nazis.

First, Russia was going to take Ukraine in a week. Then maybe a month. That didn’t happen. Many months later, we are seeing Ukraine making consider able gains in Russian-occupied territory. And, unable to cope with this, Putin has gone to a new threat: nuclear war. West ern leaders have met him stride for stride, and warned of counterattacks if he tries it.

This is something of a throwback threat. Many young people today don’t

know what it’s like to live in a world where nuclear war could be looming. Given all the other problems we face today, it’s not something we think about often.

But nuclear war was prevalent in peo ple’s minds not too long ago. The way warnings of the dangers of technology, mental health struggles and other, newer issues per meate today’s entertain ment, nuclear war did so at the height of the Cold War.

Remember “Planet of the Apes”? No, not those movies that came out in the 2010s. Those, ironically told the tale of how humanity destroyed itself when faced with a global pandemic. But much like they addressed the prob lems of today, the original addressed the problems of its day.

Released in 1968, at the height of the Cold War and not long after a nuclear confrontation nearly happened during the Cuban missile crisis, “Planet of the Apes” follows Charlton Heston’s charac ter, George Taylor, a space explorer who crash-lands on a mysterious planet.

Taylor encounters humans, but they are mute and animalistic, and the society is ruled by apes that have evolved into something human-like. They keep the

Governor, please sign the crypto mining moratorium

To the Editor:

Gov. Kathy Hochul must sign legisla tion establishing a moratorium on cryp tocurrency mining powered by burning fracked gas. This kind of mining, used to make Bitcoin, known as “proof of work,” is extremely energy-intensive, consum ing more energy than some entire nations.

The Greenidge Generating Station in the Finger Lakes highlights the threat to our beautiful state. This facility, a for merly shuttered coal plant, is now con tinuously burning fracked gas for Bit coin mining. There are dozens of such plants across New York state that could be fired up again, polluting our air and water, promoting fracking and endanger ing our climate. Governor, please take

immediate action to prevent more such travesties.

Establishing an immediate moratori um on cryptocurrency mining powered by fossil fuels, while completing a com prehensive study of its impacts on the climate and the environment more broadly, is a prudent and necessary action. The Legislature passed bills sev eral months ago, and we are counting on the governor to sign them. The White House has also validated our concerns on cryptocurrency mining and the envi ronment, which is more evidence of why we need this moratorium and more study.

I urge the governor, please do not delay. We’re counting on her to be an environmental leader of our state and an example for the nation. I urge her to sign this bill into law now.

humans down with a passion, and Taylor is confused about why. One of the orang utan superiors, Dr. Zaius, played by Mau rice Evans, pursues Taylor with reli gious zeal when Taylor, unlike all the other humans, speaks. Zaius interro gates him about where he came from, and repeatedly implies that he knows something more than the other apes do about humans.

When Taylor and Zaius discover evidence of an old civilization on the planet that was ruled by humans, Zaius confesses to Taylor that he has “always known about man” and, though he acknowledges that man’s civilization was once great, he adds that “his wisdom must walk hand in hand with his idiocy.” The sacred scrolls of the apes tell them to “beware the beast man, for he is the dev il’s pawn” and that man would murder his own brother to possess his land.

This explains what drives the apes to oppress humans, but Taylor still doesn’t understand how they’ve come to believe this. Then, in a lifeless coastal desert known as the Forbidden Zone, once a lush paradise that was ruined by man, Taylor sees the Statue of Liberty, scorched, buried up to her chest in sand,

the ocean’s waves crashing into her. He has been on Earth the whole time, where humanity had destroyed itself in a nucle ar war.

Taylor falls to his knees, condemning humanity as maniacs who have “finally gone and done it.” The film ends with Taylor collapsed in the surf, doomed to live the rest of his life on a post-apocalyp tic Earth.

Putin’s threat has made this film, and the 1968 zeitgeist, relevant again today. Are we going to finally go and do it?

It’s easy to watch “Planet of the Apes” and think of the apes as the bad guys, brutes who are treating humans like ani mals. But at the end of the film, Zaius is proven right about humanity. In that world, we indeed were the devil’s pawn.

And as Putin threatens to use nuclear war to take Ukraine, the idea that man would kill his brother to possess his land seems to ring true. Perhaps those of us who would dismiss his threat — or worse, dare him to follow through on it so we can retaliate — should give this classic film a watch. It provides a stark warning not only to Putin, but to anyone who thinks nuclear war is a feasible solu tion to the world’s problems.
