Haitian song and dance fills the Uniondale library

By STACY DRIKS sdriks@liherald.com

More than 60 people filled the meeting room at the Uniondale Public Library — standing along walls and crowding near the back doors — as the library opened Haitian Heritage Month with an evening of music, dance and art that transformed the normally quiet space into a celebration of Haitian culture.

The May 3 event also served as a preview for Haitian artist Frenal Mezilas, whose artwork will be featured in a larger exhibition at the library on June 5. Pieces of his work lined the room as guests arrived, giving attendees an early look at the upcoming exhibit while performers took turns in the meeting room, which is not the usual space for concerts, as it is usually held upstairs for 30 people.

“It is truly an honor and job to welcome you all to the launch of our Haitian heritage month here at the Uniondale public library,” Maria Sonia SaintRose Bienvil. “The “Uniondale library cares about the Haitian community here”

Saint-Rose Bienvil recited a poem by

Haitian writer and poet Gary Daniel. He is associated with Haitian Creole literature. While Mezilas performed stand-up comedy, which drew the large crown to laughter. Also called, “blague,” which directly translates into joke or nonsense talk. Both performances were spoken in their native tongue, Creole.

Sister Francis Wagner presented the opening prayer. She is one of the sisters and leaders at the Maranatha Grace Church in Uniondale.

“Father God, we thank you for this opportunity,” she recited. “That you have given us to gather together as your people to celebrate your goodness and to enjoy everything that is about to take place.”

She continued to bless that without God, they cannot do anything and thanked for all the things to come their way.

Sr. Sherley Francois recited the United States and Haiti National Anthem called La Dessalinienne. The history of the anthem was selected at a nationwide competition in 1903. It honored Jean-Jacques Dessalines who was the revolutionary leader who led Haiti

Studying 'STEAM'

Students explore science and art careers

By LILY SPINDA Correspondent

Students, teachers and local organizations were recognized at Hempstead High School’s second annual STEAM night showcasing student-led projects focused on community impact.

The school’s atrium was filled with students from elementary through high school presenting a range of topics that centered on this question: “What can I do through school to help my community?”

STEAM expands on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) by including the arts. Both are an expanded approach to teaching and learning technical subjects. Hempstead High students approached this project through an inquisitive-focused lens, since the district is an International Baccalaureate institution. This academic program is a framework that emphasizes critical thinking and research.

Displays included 3D-printed models and tri-fold presentations on topics varying from environmental sustainability and infrastructure to fashion design and engineering using recycled materials.

Matthew Martinez, a third grader, focused on environmental alternatives that could help his community. His group designed and printed a model electric car using a 3D-printer.

“We designed an electric car because electric cars don’t really pollute the air as much as normal cars,” Martinez said, adding that he wanted to raise awareness about air pollution in his community.

Other students considered a sustainable approach using fashion. The high school’s fashion class presented several original handmade designs, showing the intersection between creativity and technical skill. Before joining, senior Rose Campion had no prior sewing experience, but after taking both classes, she discovered a new passion.

“A lot of people question if fashion deserves to be a part of STEM, and I feel like fashion is STEM,” Campion said.

“Everything STEM represents, we do in fashion, from knowing how much the fabric weighs to seeing how it drapes on the mannequin, from understanding how much we need to cut off and angling it so we can sew properly. It’s all STEM,” she said.

Campion plans to study biology in the fall but hopes to continue using these skills in the real world by creating customized shirts, printouts or bracelets as a side business or as gifts. “I’ll be able to know how to make my own pieces if I want to, so I don’t have to spend a lot of money and buy something unnecessary when I can just make it myself.”

Administration couldn’t have been prouder. Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, Richard Brown, believes these student projects are more than just presentations.

“It’s called giving students voice, choice, and agency,” Brown said. “Allowing students to be their own leaders in picking a topic and how to approach their research “is what builds their inquiry, engagement, and that’s what learning now, at a high standard, is all about,” he added.

These projects are no typical school presentation; it’s several months of interdisciplinary instruction, investigation and trial. The STEAM program is part of the school’s curriculum, focusing heavily on inquiry-based research. All projects must go through an inquiry process, which involves asking questions, beginning research and using teachers as guides. Some projects extended beyond the high school. Fifth graders from Joseph A. McNeil Elementary school presented with the New York Power Authority), the country’s largest state power organization. According to the Director of Science and STEAM, Fredrika Miller, their research consisted of several projects on ways to reduce our carbon footprint. One group built a demo model of clean transportation, including electric cars, by using 3D printers. Another group focused on carbon

Middle of the celebration Alexandra performed a traditional dance throughout the libraries meeting room. She represented Haiti by wearing a flowing dress of the flag’s colors, red and blue.

Following Alexadra’s, there were special guest performances by Jazzyjoz and Antoine Joash Bienvil, known as JayFlexn, 14, rising singer and songwriter. He performed several original songs along with traditional Haitian songs. Bienvil started rapping at fiveyears-old keeping it going as he has over 100 thousand views on YouTube.

The organization represents mayors and local governments across New York and advocates on issues including public safety, economic development, infrastructure, housing, local aid and quality of life.

Since taking office in 2021, Hobbs has helped secure nearly $160 million in funding and investment for Hempstead village, including a $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative award from Gov. Kathy Hochul.

He also serves as senior pastor of Coney Island Cathedral and presiding bishop of The Restoration Fellowship, made up of a few independent Christian groups sharing a similar focus on biblical restoration, evangelism and New Testament-style teachings.

Hobbs is also a member of the United States Conference of Mayors and the African American Mayors Association, and serves on several New York Conference of Mayors leadership committees.

footprint through food waste by weighing food waste and collecting data.

Many participating students who presented with the NYPA are English Language Learners, Miller said, adding that their presentation was “hands-on, it was experimental, it was multidisciplinary, it was IB.”

But for Miller, this presentation night is not just about research; it’s also about the importance of representation, especially for young girls.

“A lot of young ladies in the district are becoming more STEM … they’re saying, ‘I can do that too’, and that’s nice because they can do anything,” she said.

Community partners also participated, including instructors from Lincoln Tech who volunteered to speak with students about career paths. Kafi Alexis, an electrical instructor, said representation plays an important role in inspiring students.

“I was on top of a trailer… and some young girl saw me, and she was like, ‘Oh, we could do this too!’ and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s it. I was sold,’” Alexis said.

Alexis said women, particularly women of color, still face challenges in male-dominated industries but she understands the importance of visibility and perseverance.

“We know how hard it is — that’s just being a woman in a man industry, period,” she said. “It has its difficulties, but it’s still beautiful at the same time.”

Hofstra University’s Northwell School of Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies also attended. Alexandra Petas, a firstyear PA student, was impressed by the kids.

“A lot of young kids have come up… and I’m just really impressed,” Petras said. “It’s cool to see how much they know and how much they care. ”

Rhea Dewal, also a first-year PA student, added, “Our goal is to inspire the younger generations to see what they can possibly do in their future, we’re really glad to be here.”

Events such as STEAM also provides as

a positive outlet for students with broader challenges outside of school.

“We have been dealing with a lot of transitions because a lot of our students are immigrants [so] it’s honestly nice to turn the trajectory in a different direction and let kids be able to be kids,” Brown said.

According to U.S. News & World Report, Hempstead High student population is 100 percent minority, with 77.2 percent Hispanic and 21.3 percent Black students. Organizers said events such as STEAM night could help connect students with community resources and future opportunities.

Robert Ennis Jr., a member of the

Hempstead High Robotics Club, said his experience inspired him to continue his education at Farmingdale State College so he can apply his skills to help his community, including building websites.

Matthew Cole, a third grade teacher at Barack Obama Elementary School, runs an after-school club where students build machines using electric toys and building blocks to demonstrate scientific concepts. Currently, his students are learning about force and motion, so some machines used those concepts to perform simple tasks like dispensing candy.

“It’s more than just a lesson,” Cole said. “It [the mechanical machines] took a couple of months to build. We try to incorporate all these projects into what we’re learning about in the classroom.”

Leasia Hammonds Harbison, one of Cole’s students, said she felt proud of her accomplishments. “I learned how to create new stuff and try new activities,” she said.

From performing arts to presenting engineering projects and designing original fashion pieces, STEAM Night has encouraged students to explore their interests and take ownership of their learning.

“They can do anything, they can say poems, they can play an instrument, they can dance, they can shoot a bow and arrow outside,” Miller said. “We make it so whatever students need to feel like empowered, that's what we're going to do for them."

County tackles insurance fraud

By JOSEPH D’ALESSANDRO jdalessandro@liherald.com

Throughout the country, an easily overlooked category of crime has become a multi-billion-dollar industry: Insurance fraud costs consumers $806 billion every year, taking financial bites out of construction, transportation, real estate and other industries. Long Island’s local business leaders are sharing their strategies to avoid contributing to that statistic.

Some 160 business owners and employees welcomed advice from elected officials, security firms and fellow business people at a panel at the Morrelly Homeland Security Center in Bethpage on May 13.

This was the first panel connecting government agencies and local businesses to share information about fighting insurance fraud, according to John Capece, Nassau County’s consumer affairs commissioner.

“This is the first time in Long Island history that we have a meeting with all the building departments and the Department of Consumer Affairs to host a seminar for training and for communication,” Capece said.

The panel, sponsored by the Long Island Builders Institute, is intended to be the first of many. Capece conceived of the idea to kick off a larger effort to improve consumer safety by helping community members and local businesses identify and avoid malicious actors.

“We want to stop them because they prey on the elderly and the vulnerable people that don’t understand contracts … they get sucked into something where

they think they're going to save so much money and they don't,” Capece said. “We want to educate the public.”

Panelists discussed the optimal ways of handling everything from home improvement contractor licensing, permitting, solar installations and contracting oversight to responding to fraudulent insurance and training certificates and staged construction accidents, as well as other topics impacting homeowners and the building industry

Panelist Gina Farese is a solar energy entrepreneur and a member of Nassau County’s Home Improvement Advisory Committee and many other groups in the industry. She has seen many cases of improper business dealings, ranging from roofing coverage to workers who aren’t on a contractor’s official payroll.

“There’s a lot of things that are broken and so far gone, and I’m seeing so many homeowners get, unfortunately, taken,” Farese said. “So many people just care about their bottom line … at the end of the day, it’s just making sure that the homeowners are protected properly, and educating people.”

Mary Harkins serves as counsel to the county’s Department of Consumer Affairs. She advises Capece and the department on the interpretation of local laws, with a focus on contract violations.

“Now we’re able to address it more proactively, rather than just reacting,” Harkins said. “It’s a lot of responsibility, but in reality, we’re moving on it.

For more information, call Nassau County Consumer Affairs at (516) 571-2465.

Gina Farese and Commissioner John Capece advised more than 160 community members about the risks of insurance fraud for consumers and businesses.
