Tour showcases vision for Hempstead downtown revival
State officials visit transformation one
By REINE BETHANY
Special to the Herald
A tour of Hempstead’s Downtown Overlay Zone revealed the extent of the new construction that will replace empty buildings and unoccupied plots of land in the village’s commercial core.
State funding, especially the recently awarded $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative grant, has provided a triumphant boost to a cluster of proposed projects. Eight of the projects were visited on the June 30 tour.
Hempstead Mayor Waylyn Hobbs, Jr., Deputy Mayor Jeffery Daniels, and Community Development Agency Commissioner Danielle Oglesby led New York Secretary of State Walter Mosley, Deputy Secretary of State Kisha Santiago, and Nassau County Legislators Olena Nicks and Scott Walker on a walk that began with 1 Helen Keller Way, which the village bought to become a central village hall and police station.
Comments and questions from Mosley helped to clarify future projects.
Hearing that Parking Lot 1 (across Front Street from Hempstead Town Hall) is slated to become a 336-unit apartment development, Mosley asked, “How much of this is going to be workforce and permanent affordable housing?”
“This unit is market-rate with ground floor retail,” Oglesby said, “geared toward students and medical professionals. We have other units north on Main Street that are 100 percent affordable.”
“In Hempstead, compared to our neighbor, Garden City,” Hobbs said, “we are the center of low-income housing, so as we’re building, we want to make sure that we mix market-rate with affordable.”
“Right, right, build up your tax base,” Mosley added.
Two Main Street buildings intended for redevelopment currently contain businesses. Vybz on the Main and several law offices occupy 24 Main St. The rear part of the other building, 20 Main St., once held the village traffic court at 16 Cooper St. West; it now contains Beauty of New York, which moves millions of dollars of
Protesters march in Hempstead
By SCOTT BRINTON
Angela Lampe arrived in the United States from El Salvador in 1963 as a domestic worker earning $50 a month. Soon after, she threw herself into advocacy for the civil rights movement of Dr. Martin Luther King and the labor rights movement of César Chávez. Lampe, 88 and living in Massapequa, was among more than a 100 demonstrators who gathered at the Rosa Parks Hempstead Transit Center, commonly called the NICE Bus terminal, to protest the continued presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Long Island streets. The demonstrators marched through Hempstead’s downtown business district to a Home Depot and then to Hempstead Village Hall.
“We are here because there is so much injustice,” said Lampe, who earned a degree in social work in 1979 and became a licensed social worker. “What I want to see is a legal process that everybody deserves. Doesn’t matter what country you come from, you deserve to be heard.”
Lampe spoke under the shade of a small tree on this 85-degree day while marchers behind her chanted, “This is what democracy looks like! This is what democracy looks like!”
A media advisory from the National Day Laborer Organizing Network and Hempstead-based Workplace Project promoting the Sunday march read, “Over the past weeks and months, we have experienced a series of brutal ICE raids across Long Island, including the areas of Hempstead, Uniondale, Freeport, Roosevelt, Westbury and more. Masked men with guns are grabbing people and forcing them into unmarked cars with no warrant and no regard for due process.”
Earlier this year, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman assigned 11 Nassau County detectives to work with
ICE agents to round up and deport immigrants suspected of crimes. The county officers, he said, do not take part in immigration raids.
ICE officials have acknowledged the right of demonstrators to lawfully protest federal policy. They add that they are upholding the nation’s immigration laws and are prioritizing public safety by arresting and removing criminal offenders and immigration violators from U.S. streets.
Dafny Irizarry, president and founder of the Long Island Latino Teachers Association, challenged such claims, telling the crowd that ICE agents are also targeting law-abiding students for detention and deportation.
“We stand with you to stand together in support of our immigrant children,” Irizarry said. “Schools are learning places. ICE has no place in our schools.”
Irizarry said immigrant children are suffering. ICE officials “say they’re coming for criminals,” she said. “That is a lie.” The crowd responded, “It’s a lie.”
Miguel Alas, 62, assistant director of the nonprofit Workplace Project in Hempstead, said in an interview, “We are here to let the community know what is happening with immigration … At the same time, we are also showing, denouncing, this way of doing things.”
Alas said he believes recent raids, in which immigrants, documented and undocumented, are taken into custody without due process—and often without knowing the identities of the officers detaining them—equates to a form of violence.
“They use terror as a way to threaten people,” he said.
Susan Steinmann, 80, of Mastic Beach, stood on the sidewalk loudly chanting, “ICE out, ICE out!” Steinmann said she sees a growing “police state” that is primarily targeting immigrants of color for arrest, detention

and deportation. This police state, she said, “will crush everybody.”
Steinmann noted that a number of immigrants have been detained while heading to scheduled legal hearings to process their immigration status. “They get snatched up, they get kidnapped,” she said.
NDLON volunteer Arlene Flores, 24, of Princeton, N.J., drove the “Justice Bus” for any marchers unable to walk the entire route of the protest. The bus accompanied protesters throughout the demonstration. Flores said she knows and has been in touch with four friends who were recently detained and deported by ICE. They came from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
“They suffered a lot in the detention center,” she said. While in custody, she said, they were not permitted to shower, were offered one meal a day and lived five to a room, with no privacy. “I want to be the voice for those people who cannot speak up for themselves and let them know they are not alone in this fight,” Flores said.

Celebrating young champions at Kennedy Memorial Park
G.B.’s Sneaker Terminal highlights achievements
By REINE BETHANY
Special to the Herald
Patrons of Hempstead Village’s capacious Kennedy Memorial Park may not be aware that the fourth and fifth graders practicing football on the green field are undefeated 2024 national champions in the United Youth Football League.
Gerson Sidana, a local businessman, decided to recognize the achievement of the Southern State Seminoles by publicly awarding each of the 14 young team members an individual trophy and a pair of sneakers on June 26 in the Kennedy Park gym.
Sidana is the co-proprietor of G.B.’s Sneaker Terminal, which has stores in Hempstead and Queens. His father, Papu Sidana, founded the firm, which has supported local sports events for three decades.
The Southern State Seminoles team was founded in the spring of 2024 by youth football coaches Terrell Wilson of Lakeview and Keith Newton-Smith of Hempstead.
The Seminoles team is in the Big Apple/Garden State Youth Football and Cheer Conference of the United Youth Football League.
Coaches Michael Williams, Maleek McClough, and Chris Sarduy, joined Wilson for the evening at Kennedy Park, which was also attended by Hempstead Mayor Waylyn Hobbs, Jr., and Assemblyman Noah Burroughs.
TWilliams and McClough both grew up playing Little League football in Hempstead. They have coached for the Town of Hempstead Raiders Youth Football and Cheerleading team for nine years. So when Wilson and Newton-Smith asked them to coach for the brand-new Seminoles endeavor in the
of Southern State Seminoles
spring of 2024, they were well prepared.
“The United Youth Football League gets kids out where they can compete at a higher level,” said Williams. “And these kids are hard workers. We’re the first Long Island team to win the UYFL national championship.”
hese 9- and 10-yearolds are being showcased across the United States.
MAlEEk McclougH Coach, Southern State Seminoles
“These 9- and 10-year-olds are being showcased across the United States,” McClough said. “They will have opportunities to go to most private schools across the country.”
The team members are enthusiastic about their participation.
“I like the friendship and the brotherhood that our Southern State Seminoles have,” said Aiden-Amir Mor-
ris, who attends Academy Charter School in Uniondale. “I love being around my brothers.”
“The coaching staff and parents are amazing,” said Patrick Nurse, a scholar at Clara H. Carlson School in Elmont. “The whole organization is amazing.”
“I love traveling,” said Edward Barton of Davison Avenue School in Lynbrook. “We get to play more competitive teams, and we win all the time. We are undefeated.”
The participants’ families expressed the same appreciation.
“The coaches told us they would win the national championship in their inaugural year, and they did it!” said Jason Smith, whose son Jason Smith, Jr., is among the champions.
Smith spoke of the positive impact of
the Seminoles on the team members’ families.
“The families sacrificed their vacations so the kids could practice three to four times a week from July to December,” Smith said. “The parents were driving to Jersey, Virginia, Florida. Now we are all one big family. Our other kids come along, everybody’s brother, sister, cousin, aunt, traveling all together. We all stay at the same hotels.”
The young champions will have the opportunity to face teams in Delaware and Virginia during July and August, outside their home conference.
“To get real competition,” Smith said, smiling, “we have to go out of state to play.”

The chamber has also partnered with organizations such as the Long Island Association and the Long Island Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to support small businesses and foster collaboration among minority-led enterprises.
In 2024, Rose Ward, founder and CEO of NFocus Management Group, LLC, was named the chamber’s vice president.

Rush named new interim superintendent in Hempstead
Gary Rush, Hempstead’s assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, has been appointed interim superintendent of schools, effective Tuesday.
The Board of Education approved Rush’s appointment during a special meeting on Friday by a 3-2 vote, board President Victor Pratt said. Pratt, who voted against the move, said he believed Rush could have benefited from more time under the outgoing interim superintendent, Susan Johnson.
Rush replaces Johnson, who had served in an interim capacity since September after the board placed former superintendent Regina Armstrong on administrative leave. The contracts of both Johnson and Armstrong expired
Monday. Armstrong had been earning $310,000 annually, while Johnson was paid $1,500 per day without benefits. Rush’s annual salary is set at $300,000.
In April, Armstrong filed a lawsuit against the district, the board, and Pratt, alleging defamation, discrimination, and wrongful termination. Her removal came amid reported disagreements with the board’s majority and concerns over spending.
The district continues to face fiscal challenges, including declining enrollment, increased charter school competition, and ongoing oversight from a stateappointed fiscal monitor, whose term was recently extended through 2027.

New projects aim to uplift local businesses

An entrepreneur has bought both buildings. The plan is to demolish them and replace them with a 96-unit apartment building that will have underground parking and affordable units.
“So far, all of our Downtown Overlay Zone applicants have their own onsite parking in their site plans,” Oglesby said.
“What’s going to happen with Beauty of New York?” Mosley asked. “You don’t want to lose that tax income.”

“We’ll definitely find a spot for them,” Hobbs said.
The picturesque Hempstead Bank building at 54 Main St. will be preserved externally and restructured internally to accommodate loft apartments and groundfloor specialty shops.
“The Hempstead Bank was built in 1907,” Daniels said. “They don’t make ’em like this anymore.”
As contracts for new projects materialize, the village aims to “unbundle” the separate tasks of which each project is composed, so that the work is not assigned only to large contractors.

to smaller MWBE contractors that have signed up with us.
“For example, when we upgrade the sewer lines,” Daniels said, “we’ll pull the contract apart so that sidewalk refurbishing is a separate contract. That way, we’ll give opportunities to smaller MWBE contractors that have signed up with us.”

He has leveraged his childhood experience working in his father’s Fulton Avenue bodega to establish a comprehensive grocery store called Compare Foods Supermarket in the new mixed-use building at 131 Bedell St.
And Rashid Walker is well on his way to replacing an overgrown former parking field at 257 Main St. with a seven-story edifice containing 346 apartments, 10 percent of which will be attainable apartments, with a parking garage.
“I’m excited,” Walker said. “I grew up in Hempstead. My mother used to take me shopping on Main Street.”
“So that’s what the Downtown Revitalization Initiative is made for, right?” Mosley said.
