Chestnut Street School names Minicozzi its interim principal

By MARK NolAN mnolan@liherald.com

The Chestnut Street School, in West Hempstead, has a new leader — temporarily.

Lisa Minicozzi was named the elementary school’s interim principal at the Jan. 17 Board of Education business meeting, replacing Faith Tripp, whose last day was Jan. 16.

Tripp left after seven years as principal to take on a new post as director of world languages and English as a Second Language in

the East Williston School District. The Chestnut Street School, which recently celebrated its 110th birthday, serves about 115 students in kindergarten and first grade.

“I recognize the unique value of each student within our school,” Minicozzi said, “and look forward to being the newest child/ parent advocate to support learning within our community.”

Minicozzi most recently served as the program director of educational leadership at Adelphi University. She supported Adelphi’s Continued on page 4

Hochul’s affordable housing plan alarms Curran bfiebert@liherald.com

People have left New York in droves this past decade, and Brian Curran is ready to put that trend at an end.

But doing so could mean finding some common ground between the Assemblyman and Gov. Kathy Hochul, who have some different ideas on affordable housing.

During her State of the State address earlier this month, Hochul introduced a plan that would build 800,000 new homes over the next 10 years across the state.

Affordable homes.

Curran agrees with Hochul that the lack of affordable housing is a major contributor to the mass fleeing of residents to other states, but fixing it is another story.

“The governor talked about migration of people out of New York right off the bat at the State of the State address,” Curran said. “This alarm has been sounded for the better part of the decade. But now, as even the governor noted, you can’t ignore it anymore.”

Curran returned to his Assembly seat earlier this month, after winning the November election against Judy Griffin in November — who had ousted him just four years before. Curran had first won his Assembly seat in 2010 after spending three years as mayor of Lynbrook.

Nearly 300,000 people left New York between July 2020 and July 2021, according to census data. Although New York City’s

population jumped by 700,000 to 8.8 million over the last decade, the pandemic wiped away much of those gains, Curran said, through the aftermath of inflation, higher taxes, and even higher rent.

It’s the rent that Hochul is focused on the most, citing the Population Reference Bureau claims that more than half of New York renters are “rent-burdened” — meaning they pay more than 30 percent of their income on rent.

That, the governor says, is the secondhighest rate in the nation.

Rent is bad, Curran said, but it’s something else that’s much more in the government’s control that is chasing people away.

“I think, very simply, the reason why people are leaving is because of high taxes,” the Assemblyman said. “Unfortunately, nowhere in Hochul’s State of the State did she ever talk about presenting a proposal in cutting taxes.”

And even Hochul’s proposal is missing some key variables.

“There are factors that you must consider before building these affordable homes,” Curran said. “Factors like how density affects the communities must be considered.”

Hochul’s proposal includes designating a half-mile radius around train lines like the Long Island Rail Road as fast-tracked property for higher-density — and, hopefully, more cost-effective — homes. While the governor wants local municipalities to take charge to implement such a plan, she

Yet, such a plan could “over densify” communities, Curran said, which will make them lose their “Nassau County character.”

Curran also worries about what this means for local governments.

“She appears to be advocating for taking away the authority of local municipalities — including the villages of Lynbrook,

Freeport, the Town of Hempstead, West Hempstead, Baldwin and Valley Stream,” Curran said. “Think about what this halfmile radius will do. On the Malverne line, there are all residential houses up and down the line. However, there is no dead space in that area to build.”

Maintaining that local autonomy is something Curran says he’ll fight for.

“The governor believes that she can come in here and tell the people of Malverne, Rockville Centre, Lynbrook, Baldwin and Freeport to just accept these drastic changes,” he said. “I think that’s for elected officials and residents in those areas to figure out how they want to go about creating affordable housing.”

And there are some good ideas already here, Curran said. For example? Lynbrook. The village worked on the site of the old Mangrove Feather factory on Broadway to help develop it into a $95 million, 201-unit transit-oriented apartment complex. It was part of negotiations that went on between the developer — Breslin Realty — and the village for years.

No matter what plans ultimately come out of Albany to address the state’s — and region’s — out-migration, Curran hopes they don’t become singularly focused.

“We should do everything we can to drive down the costs of living in New York,” he said. “But the creation of all these units isn’t necessarily going to lower the overall costs of people living in these communities in the first place.”

Educating drivers to help improve road safety

January 26, 2023 — MALVERNE/WEST HEMPSTEAD HERALD

continued from front page Guiffrè said that traffic and pedestrian safety is part of what he litigates. He said he won a case on behalf of a pedestrian who was attempting to cross a street without a marked crosswalk.

While the hope is that these lighted crosswalks will prevent vehicle-pedestrian accidents, Guiffrè said he is realistic.

He updates his social media platforms with traffic safety warnings and has advocated that the schools teach traffic safety to middle school students.

“The problem is changing the culture and behavior,” he said. “As much as possible, I try to raise the consciousness of people.”

Installing an RRFB at every intersection in the county is not feasible, since each one costs about $50,000, officials said.

Maureen Greenberg, president of the West Hempstead Community Support Association, agreed with the need to install the crosswalk at the location. “It is appropriate after the survey was done,” Greenberg said, “as long as people use them appropriately.”

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 6,516 pedestrians were killed in traffic accidents across the United States in 2020, a 3.9 percent increase from the previous year.

Guiffrè said statistics show that educating drivers makes a positive difference.

He pointed to New York City’s Vision Zero campaign as an example of changing motorists’ behavior.

“We can’t have them (RRFBs) at every intersection, so our attention is focused on education,” Guiffrè said.

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

In Wills We Trusted Ask most people if they’ve done their estate planning and a common answer is, “Yes, I have a will.” However, estate planning is not just a plan for death. It’s a plan for life that addresses what happens if you become disabled. About half of us will eventually becoming disabled.

You can choose ahead of time who will be in charge of your affairs if you become disabled through a power of attorney, health care proxy, and a trust.

A will cannot provide for disability. A will tells the world where you want your assets to go when you die. A will is probated, which means proven, in court, and becomes a public document. Those without their own living trust plan, with their personal choices for who will be in charge if they become disabled, risk getting the state’s plan of guardianship proceedings where the court chooses who will handle your affairs if you become disabled.

Probate court proceedings can go smoothly but they may also be complicated, such as having a special needs child or disinheriting a child. Also, if you own property

in another state, a trust makes more sense than a will because you may deed the out-of-state property into the name of your trust, and avoid both a New York probate and a probate in the other state.

Having a will as an estate plan does nothing to protect your assets from long-term care expenses for either care at home or in a nursing facility. Without a trust to protect your assets from long-term care costs, by the time you pass there may be no assets left for your heirs.

Trusts can also protect inheritances from children’s divorces, lawsuits and creditors and pass those assets by blood instead of by marriage. In today’s world, a “simple will” often does more harm than good by giving the client a false sense of security that their affairs are arranged.

Elder law estate planning addresses the issues mentioned above, plus many more, including funeral and burial instructions, organ donation, and final instructions to the family.

She also fostered school-community partnerships focused on communication and community service.

Daniel Rehman, superintendent of West Hempstead schools, said he was excited about Minicozzi bringing her vast experience in education to Chestnut Street.

“As Dr. Minicozzi has been part of our RamPride family for the past five years through her position at Adelphi, she is very familiar with the school’s culture, staff and outstanding student body,” Rehman said.

“I am confident that this experience, coupled with her previous educational roles, will be a great fit to lead Chestnut Street.

“I anticipate that she will transition seamlessly into this new role.”

Rehman said the district will begin the search for a new principal in April or May. He said the district is aiming to make the appointment on July 1 so the new principal has time to adjust. _______

Rehman also thanked Tripp for her service to the district and its students.

“Ms. Tripp was a wonderful asset to our district in her role as a teacher and administrator,” Rehman said, “and we thank her for her service here and wish her well.”

In a message posted to the community online, Minicozzi expressed her desire to help individual students achieve their full potential.

“Together we will focus on students’ strengths to emphasize academic, social and emotional growth,” she wrote.

“I am dedicated to developing our students’ successes and will strive to continue the positive relationships, rigorous learning, and the nurturing environment that encourages our students to celebrate their unique strengths.”

Minicozzi pledged to work collaboratively with Chestnut Street School families for the remainder of the year.

“I am determined to support every child every day at Chestnut Street, and I will bring the energy, enthusiasm and thoughtfulness needed to continue to make Chestnut Street School an exemplary school,” Minicozzi wrote.

After defeating West Hempstead on Dec. 13, Malverne was looking to double down last Friday night on its home court.

Backed by a stellar second half on both ends of the court, the Mules emerged with a 67-46 win, remaining atop Nassau Conference B2 boys’ basketball.

Three players recorded double-doubles for Malverne as seniors Slyvain Castin, Farvens Ulysse, and captain Joshua Croom all achieved the feat. Castin led the way in scoring with 14 points.

It was a strong opening quarter for the Mules as 12 of their 19 points came from beyond the arc as the offensive ball movement helped set the tone early on in the contest.

“We know the first shot is not always the best shot,” Castin said. “Moving the ball is important to us because it gets the team open and gets the defense confused.”

West Hempstead responded by outscoring Malverne 11-7 in the second quarter and trailed by as little as one point before two baskets to close out the half by Malverne put the Rams down five.

“We came out a little flat to start the game,” Rams first-year head coach Eric Rubin said. “We probably should’ve been down more, but we settled down and were able to climb back.”

The Mules were able to get back to their game plan offensively, but their defense also made a noticeable impact holding West Hempstead to 25 second-half points whereas Malverne scored 41 after intermission.

“It started with our defense, it’s gotta end with our defense,” Castin said. “We knew coming out there that we had to lock down and stay focused on the defensive end.”

Malverne’s reserves also made a difference in the game as junior Zavion Daniels and eighth-grader Malachi Hudson combined for 13 points while Daniels provided some strong defense.

“Both of them can really help us down the stretch,” Malverne associate head coach Walter Aksionoff said. “Zavion gave us a nice lift off the bench and Mala-

Sophomore Evan Wilson led the Rams in scoring with 16 points off the bench and has been a solid sixth man for West Hempstead this winter. “Evan has been playing better and better all season,” Rubin said. “He’s a real hard worker and is becoming one of our better players.”

Despite the loss, West Hempstead still has just as many wins this season (five) than their last four seasons combined.

The Rams are now looking ahead towards their two remaining conference matchups

against Seaford and East Rockaway.

“Our goal is to make the playoffs,” Rubin said. “We’ve had some positives this season, but we still want to compete down the stretch.”

Malverne now sits 5-2 in the conference and holds an overall record of 9-7, but are still looking to improve as the final weeks of the season approach.

“We’re still taking it game by game,” Castin said. “We want to make the playoffs and win championships, but we’re making sure we’re perfecting the little things.”

Timeless values, visible results

atholic Schools Week is upon us — Jan. 29-Feb. 4 — with the goal of raising the awareness of Catholic schools as an outstanding educational option.

The week is set aside to promote the unique nature of the Catholic schools in each community. Schools typically observe the annual celebration week with Masses and open houses to thank parishioners, to welcome visitors and to introduce new families to the benefits of a Catholic education. It frequently kicks off with a Mass and open house on the first Sunday (Jan. 29), and a series of events designed to recognize the contributions of students, parents and faculty during the course of the week. Many schools offer additional open houses and opportunities to visit during the week as well.

Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation. In addition to the internal events (teacher and parent recognition events, school ‘spirit’ days, special assemblies, etc) it is also a week where the schools open their doors to the families of their Parish/Parishes they serve, and to the general public who might be considering the benefits of a Catholic education.

As a family considering a Catholic education, how do I learn more?

students from a public school background.

Students qualify for Catholic high school through a test for 8th graders that is administered in October of each year. Typically the students from Catholic elementary schools are best prepared for the academic rigor, the integrated program of faith and values, and the service orientation of the high schools.

Virtually all of the students from Catholic elementary school (99 percent) are admitted to a Catholic high school with the vast majority getting into the school that is their first choice.

You can learn more about the high school entrance exam, and about the Catholic High Schools at chsee.org.

Are non-Catholics welcome in the schools?

The schools are welcoming places to everyone without regard to race, religion or national origin. A religion class is a requirement, students participate in Liturgies, and faith is an integrated part of daily activities, but many schools have a significant population of students who attend because of the quality of the education alone.

CATHOLIC SHOOLS WEEK

MALVERNE/WEST HEMPSTEAD HERALD — January 26, 2023

Faith-based education

Students put moral values to work in their lives every day Strong spiritual guidance is an essential part of daily activities at Long Island’s Catholic schools, creating a special sense of community among children, families, teachers, and the local parish, which reinforces moral values and an abiding respect for others. Resourceful instructors use powerful spiritual teachings and realworld experiences to bring these values to life for children, while our smaller classes allow for more personalized and productive interaction between students and teachers.

Applying strong values in many selfless ways Catholic school students apply the moral and spiritual lessons they learn in the real world by participating in charitable community initiatives throughout the year and by responding every day to others in a respectful and helpful manner. This spirit of caring and community in our students helps to give them the enduring moral foundation to become active, contributing members of society.

Through faith we grow A strong Catholic identity as taught in Long Island’s Catholic schools matters.

These schools are uniquely empowered to help children in some very important ways. Catholic schools: √ Help socialize children in a positive way.

√ Reinforce the positive values that you live in your family. √ Reassure children that they are safe and loved, and that God loves them.

√ Teach children that their value is not based on how others see them. √ Feature teachers who are models of the faith.

CATHOLIC SHOOLS WEEK

Morning Star Initiative gets results Significant improvements in Long Island’s Catholic elementary schools Significant progress has been made in the renewal and transformation of Catholic Elementary School education on Long Island.

This is the finding from a new report (MSIImpact-Report.pdf (drvc.org) by the Diocese of Rockville Centre’s Morning Star Initiative. The Morning Star Initiative Impact Report cites progress made against the Morning Star Initiative’s four success pillars: Academic Excellence, Robustly Catholic Culture, Safe and Supportive Communities, and Fiscally Sustainable Schools.

“Since the Morning Star Initiative was launched in early 2020, we have strengthened the academic rigor of our schools and stabilized enrollment despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the economy,” said Brother Thomas Cleary, S.M., Chief Revitalization Officer, Morning Star Initiative.

With more than $3.5 million in funds raised by the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation for the Morning Star Initiative and then invested in Catholic education, the Catholic Elementary Schools in the Diocese of Rockville Centre have achieved significant academic improvements, safe in-person instruction, strong remote learning, strong marketing and recruitment efforts, innovative new academic programs and stabilization of Nursery through 8th grade enrollment.

Strengthening the pillar that Catholic Schools are here to stay The Diocese of Rockville Centre Department of Education along with the Morning Star Initiative, constantly works to increase enrollment. Some examples include: √ Enrollment increase of one hundred students for the 2022-2023 academic year at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic School, Deer Park/ Central Islip. √ New approaches to school oversight and governance piloted at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic School, Deer Park/Central Islip and Holy Name of Mary Parish School in Valley Stream; while serving ethnically diverse and high needs student populations. √ Marketing to prospects using Google, Facebook and Instagram Principals using technology including webinars to market schools to local communities. √ More than $700,000 in scholarships for underserved students in grades K-8 across Long Island directed by the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation $2.45 million provided in tuition assistance from Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation to nearly 1,200 students in 35 elementary schools for the 2021-2022 school year.

Academic excellence Philanthropic support of the Morning Star Initiative has enabled the Diocese of Rockville Centre Department of Education to enhance the academic rigor in its elementary schools by investing in technology, teachers and academic programs. For example: √ Thousands of learning devices delivered to Catholic elementary school students across Long Island; more than 2,000 devices for lowincome students in underserved communities. √ Teachers from across the diocese are pooling resources and sharing expertise with other grade-level and subject-area teachers through the new Curriculum Leads program. √ All teachers and principals received increased compensation and professional development for the 2021-2022 academic year. Teachers will also receive a salary and step increase for the 2022-2023 year.

Live your faith and share it with others

The timeless values that create better prepared, more capable, and more confident young adults. An important part of your child’s program is the learning of values. This is often the most easily observable difference in a ‘Catholic school kid’.

While the specific order and organization of when these values are taught might differ from school-toschool, the values and the discipline to live them are enduring qualities and are taught consistently across all Catholic elementary schools.

The schedule below details how one of our schools creates a focus on two values in each in of the nine years of elementary and middle school.

Kindergarten – Courtesy and Respect: Learning the importance of politeness and good manners in dealing with others, as well as the need to respect one another, and personal and public property.

First Grade – Punctuality and Neatness: Being on time for school and with assignments and being neat in both school work and homework.

Second Grade – Kindness and Generosity: Understanding the need to reach out and help one another and realizing the joy in giving more than is expected.

Third Grade – Hard Work and Perseverance: Recognizing the importance of diligence and a good work attitude, the satisfaction of doing our best and the need to keep trying despite obstacles.

Fourth Grade – Honesty and Responsibility: Being truthful and keeping our word, doing the right thing even when no one else is looking, accepting the consequences of our actions and meeting our obligations.

Fifth Grade – Patience and Discipline: Learning to be patient with ourselves and others, saying “yes” to the right things and “no” to the wrong things, and taking charge of ourselves by controlling our actions and emotions.

Sixth Grade – Tolerance and Justice: Learning to accept and appreciate the differences in others and treating them with equality and fairness.

Seventh Grade – Thoughtfulness and Compassion: Understanding the needs and feeling of others and treating them with equality and fairness.

Eighth Grade – Loyalty and Courage: Caring about our relationships with others and being willing to show it through our actions; having the strength and will to do what is right even when we’re afraid or it’s unpopular.

• •

The

Morning Star Initiative √ Strong interest in a Dual Language pilot program at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic School, Deer Park and Central Islip. √ The Curriculum Associates’ i-Ready® Assessment System implemented in each school, is a new, state-of-the-art tool enabling educators to better understand how individual students are progressing throughout the school year. i-Ready offers teachers criterionreferenced and normative data to deliver impactful, equitable learning experiences in real time. More than 8,000 students have received personalized i-Ready math and reading instruction. When receiving 30 minutes or more of personalized instruction per week, the median student was 8 percent above year-end expectations (“Typical Growth”) in Math and 28 percent above year-end expectation in reading.

Building a robustly Catholic culture The Diocese of Rockville Centre Department of Education, through the Morning Star Initiative has sharpened and enhanced its spiritual, intellectual, sacramental and liturgical capabilities.

For example: √ Catholic culture strengthened through the appointment of Father Matthew M. Browne, S.T.L. to the new position of Bishop’s Delegate to the Department of Education, to guide integration of a robustly Catholic culture in the elementary schools. √ Catholic Identity and Mission is stronger through the hiring of Director of Catholic Identity and Mission. For the first time, the director leads workshops, faculty and student retreats. √ Teachers’ faith formation strengthened through workshops and online courses. √ A new supplemental Theology of the Body Curriculum now offered for 6th, 7th and 8th graders. This curriculum teaches what it means to be a human person, made in God’s image and what it means to be a son or daughter of God. Safe and supportive communities The Diocese of Rockville Centre Department of Education with the Morning Star Initiative was able to respond to unprecedented challenges by providing a safe and supportive community that recognizes the dignity of every person and promotes human flourishing. For example: √ A smooth transition to remote and then inperson learning for all elementary schools amid the Covid-19 pandemic without missing a day of instruction. √ Schools safer due to school safety assessments completed. Specific issues addressed including camera placement, fencing, door safety to further improve safety of the school environment. √ Licensed social workers and mental health support services now available to students, families and educators through project Alpha.

Dire housing need spurs controversial approach N e w Yo rk G ov. K a t hy H o c h u l announced a plan to build 800,000 new homes over the next decade to meet the historic shortage and support New York renters and homeowners.

The New York Housing Compact includes local participation requirements and incentives to achieve housing growth in every community. The plan will also require municipalities with MTA rail stations to locally rezone for higher density residential development.

“Every community in New York must do their part to encourage housing growth to move our state forward and keep our economy strong,” said Hochul.

The plan, however, has drawn criticism from suburban officials concerned that the plan would change the character of neighborhoods.

“Governor Hochul’s housing proposals would be a disaster for our community,” said Assemblyman Edward Flood on Twitter. “Her goal is to tur n Brookhaven into the Bronx by removing local control of zoning laws and force 3% growth in down state areas. Hard pass!”

New York State is facing a severe housing crisis. According to the Population Reference Bureau more than half of New York renters are rent-burdened, meaning that they pay more than 30 percent of their income on rent—the second-highest rate in the nation. In the New York City metro area, rents have risen 30 percent since 2015 and home prices have risen 50 percent over the same period.

The New York Housing Compact adds to the Hochul’s $25 billion comprehen-

sive Housing Plan to create or preserve 100,000 affordable homes across New York, including 10,000 with support services for vulnerable populations, plus the electrification of an additional 50,000 homes.

“The housing shortage disproportionately affects displaced, homeless and low-income New Yorkers – an injustice that cannot be ignored,” said Lisa Tyson, executive director of Long Island Progressive Coalition.

The New York Housing Compact will require all cities, towns, and villages to achieve new home creation targets on a three-year cycle. The state will provide a $250 million Infrastructure Fund and $20 million Planning Fund to support new housing production statewide.

Localities with rail stations run by the MTA must undertake a local rezoning or higher density multifamily development within half a mile of the station unless they already meet the density level.

The plan also calls for improving housing opportunities near train stations and assessing old homes for lead.

In addition, the plan would expand local governments’ ability to condemn dangerous properties. More assistance for renters will be allocated.

“It is morally unacceptable that in 2023 we live in a region where the zip code you come from determines your life expectancy, quality of education, health, and quality of life,” said Pilar Moya, executive director of Housing Help.

mmerse yourself in Vincent Van Gogh’s world. For those haven’t yet, now’s the time. The popular art exhibition, which first came to the attention of the New York metro area in various incarnations in 2021, now makes its way to Long Island.

“Beyond Van Gogh” arrives at WHERE Samanea New York — the retail/ entertainment complex that was WHEN formerly the site of the Mall at the Source — in Westbury on Feb. 3. This • Feb. 3 - April 2 latest Van Gogh showcase was created • Tuesday-Thursday, Sunday: 10 a.m.-8 p.m.; Friday and

by French-Canadian visual designer Saturday: 10 a.m.-9 p.m.

Mathieu St-Arnaud — executive creative • Tickets start at $45.99 adult; director and founder of Montreal’s $29.99 ages 5-15; available at Normal Studio — with his team of multiVanGoghLongIsland.com media specialists and artists. Their pairing • Samanea New York of digital technology with the artworks 1500 Old Country Road, Westbury enhances light and hues, allowing spectators to completely immerse themselves in the images, accompanied by a lively soundtrack.

It’s a look at Van Gogh’s art — freed from its frames you might say — that puts the observer front and center, incorporating both still and moving art. Some 300 masterpieces — including, of course, such classics as “The Starry Night,” “Sunflowers” and “Café Terrace at Night” — come alive, appear and disappear, flowing across multiple surfaces, the minutiae of details enveloping visitors’ heightened senses. The show is projected on every surface around you, making you feel as though you have stepped directly into a Van Gogh painting.

Occupying more than 300 square feet, the intent of “Beyond Van Gogh” is to represent the full scope of the artist’s creative life.

“We are telling a narrative,” says art historian Fanny Curtat, who consulted on the project. “There’s a natural and chronological progression in Van Gogh’s work that resonates strongly with the core of this show, which was to go beyond the darkness of Van Gogh’s legend.

We all know that he’s famous for cutting his ear and his mental health issues. But out of the darkness he turned to light and beauty. Our focus is on the sheer power of the work itself. There’s an irony to the fact that Van Gogh tends to be remembered for the darkness of his life when most of his work is filled with bright colors and beauty.”

The evolution of his creative output comes though as visitors

Friends of the Brothers visit the area with their dynamic tribute to the Allman Brothers Band. Their powerful celebration of the Allman Brothers, featuring musicians closely associated with the original band, continues the brotherhood with passion, committed to the ideals of every night being special and unique. Their firsthand experience with the Allman Brothers Band and their deep knowledge of the repertoire, its roots and heritage allows them to play with an unrivaled depth. They honor the music, while playing the tunes as if they were their own.

Hear songs from every stage of the Allman Brothers’ career, backed by these inspirational, veteran players, including drummers Dave Diamond (Zen Tricksters, Bob Weir, Robert Randolph) and Lee Finkelstein (Tower of Power, Blues Brothers), bassist Craig Privett (Half Step) and keyboardist Mike Katzman (Leslie Mendelsohn, The Electrix).

Mike DelGuidice and Big Shot

experience the images, moving from one room to another. The Education Room leads into the unique Waterfall Room that flows into the Immersive Experience Room. The paintings appear on projection-swathed walls, inviting guests to fully involve themselves in the incredible detail of his work and be enveloped in his ever-shifting, swirling and colorful flowers, cafes and stunning landscapes. And, hearing the artist’s own dreams, thoughts and words set to a symphonic score completes the experience.

“It is so clear when you look at his whole production, that he goes from darkness to light,” Curtat adds. “His work centered on joy, and you’ll see a sense of purpose. He goes from darker shades, when he starts to paint, to a brighter palette. Then when he gets to Paris and sees the Impressionists there’s an explosion of vibrant colors. And when he gets to the south of France he really develops his own style, which is so easily identifiable.”

The 19th century meets 21st century in this compelling artistic journey.

Mike DelGuidice and his band always give it their all, especially when playing Billy Joel’s iconic songs. DelGuidice leads his band, Big Shot, in a rousing concert that highlights the Piano Man’s decades of hits. Like his idol, DelGuidice has become one of the area’s most celebrated performers, balancing his schedule between performing with Big Shot and touring with Joel. DelGuidice, as with Joel, grew up mastering several instruments including bass guitar, guitar, piano, and drums. He’s renowned for his encyclopedic knowledge of the Joel catalog, which caught the attention of Joel himself, who ultimately brought him on stage with him.

DelGuidice and his band pack hit after chart-topping hit in a high energy show that’s always a crowd pleaser.

LIPA rolls out plan to lower electric bills Customers could get a break depending on when they use power

By BEN FIEBERT bfiebert@liherald.com

Anyone who’s taken a ride-hailing service like Uber likely knows all about surge pricing — too much demand, not enough drivers equal higher rates.

If it works for getting around, why can’t it work for electricity? At least that’s what the Long Island Power Authority is thinking, introducing a plan it says could modernize electricity rates by making it cheaper for homes to use power when there’s the least demand on the grid.

It’s called the time-of-day rate — something LIPA hopes to roll out next year. It offers one rate for times when demand is high, but lower rates for periods when not so many people are using electricity.

The new system, according to LIPA, could mean eight out of every 10 customers will pay the same or even less on the new system without making a single change on how or when they use electricity.

“Starting in 2024, the time-of-day rate will become the standard rate,” said Justin Bell, LIPA’s vice president of public policy and regulatory affairs. “Our goal is that most of our customers will go on a time-of-day rate. We’re also going to be transitioning our existing customers, but

How time-of-day rates would work The Long Island Power Authority wants to implement a time-of-day rate program beginning next year as a way to encourage customers to spread out their electrical usage throughout the day and night.

It’s intended to make rates cheaper during off-peak hours like from 6 a.m., to 3 p.m., and again from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. A ‘super off-peak’ schedule would run from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. they will also have the option to choose the regular flat rate.”

The name of the program — “time-ofday” — says it all.

“For the standard offering, there’s going to be two prices,” Bell said. “There will be one peak price from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, and then all other hours will be a lower price.”

There also will still be a flat rate, which is the same structure customers already pay today, But then there is a third option, Bell added, with what’s being called a “super off-peak period,” which will provide a rate for electricity

Peak times would run weekdays from 3 to 7 p.m., except on federal holidays.

Customers not sure about the new system could try it with LIPA’s 12-month ‘bill protection guarantee.’ If an electric bill is higher on the time-of-day and super off-peak rate than it would’ve been on a flat rate at the end of 12 months, LIPA will refund the difference.

–Ben Fiebert used when demand is lowest — typically between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

The new structure could ultimately save money, Bell said, simply by making small changes in their daily routine. For instance, someone could save $4 each month simply by doing their laundry late at night. They can save another $43 by charging their electric car when most others are asleep.

These are rates that not only benefit customers, Bell said, but also the environment.

“The peak period is one of the most carbon-intensive times in terms of ener-

gy production,” he said. “So, by getting folks to use more electricity at other times and less at the peak time, we can reduce the carbon that we generate in the power grid, and it also lowers our future investment needs.”

Some of the moves are coming ahead of an impending state law that requires New York to generate 70 percent of its power from renewable sources by 2030, and to actually zero-out power sector emissions by 2040.

Achieving that will likely require some major capital investments from utilities like LIPA, but it’s one way, Bell said, Long Island can stay ahead of the game.

“If we are able to avoid putting all of that new demand on the peak, then we can save everybody a lot of money by avoiding expensive infrastructure upgrades to our transmission and distribution system,” he said.

LIPA has scheduled a pair of public hearings on Tuesday, Feb. 21, and will accept written public comments until Monday, Feb. 27 by emailing todpubliccomments@lipower.org. When and where the meetings will be held have not yet been announced.

The LIPA board could approve the new rate plan during its March 29 meeting in Uniondale.

Dated: January 25, 2023 THE NASSAU COUNTY TREASURER Mineola, NewYork ___________________ TERMS OF SALE Such tax liens shall be sold subject to any and all superior tax liens of sovereignties and other municipalities and to all

claims of record which the County may have thereon and subject to the provisions of the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts.

However, such tax liens shall have priority over the County’s Differential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the interest and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a tax lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser’s rights with respect to the lien(s) and the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act(FIRREA),12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et.seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(FDIC) receivership.

The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premises herein listed.

The Nassau County Treasurer reserves the right to intervene in any bankruptcy case/litigation where the property affected by the tax liens sold by the Treasurer is part of the bankruptcy estate. However, it is the sole responsibility of all tax lien purchasers to protect their legal

interests in any bankruptcy case affecting their purchased tax lien, including but not limited to the filing of a proof of claim on their behalf, covering their investment in said tax lien. The Nassau County Treasurer and Nassau County and its agencies, assumes no responsibility for any legal representation of any tax lien purchaser in any legal proceeding including but not limited to a bankruptcy case where the purchased tax lien is at risk.

The rate of interest and penalty at which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid.

Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Treasurer ten per cent of the amount for which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety per cent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety per cent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Treasurer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all amounts deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limited to the ten per cent theretofore paid by him shall, without further notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the agreement to purchase shall be of no further effect. Time is of the essence in this sale. This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of the sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale.

Furthermore, as to the bidding, 1. The bidder(s) agree that they will not work with any other bidder(s) to increase, maintain or stabilize interest rates or

collaborate with any other bidder(s) to gain an unfair competitive advantage in the random number generator in the event of a tie bid(s) on a tax certificate. Bidder(s) further agree not to employ any bidding strategy designed to create an unfair competitive advantage in the tiebreaking process in the upcoming tax sale nor work with any other bidder(s) to engage in any bidding strategy that will result in a rotational award of tax certificates.

2. The tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) bid, will be arrived at independently and without direct or indirect consultation, communication or agreement with any other bidder and that the tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) to be bid, have not been disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder, and will not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder prior to the close of bidding. No attempt has been made or will be made to, directly or indirectly, induce any other bidder to refrain from bidding on any tax certificate, to submit complementary bids, or to submit bids at specific interest rates.

3. The bids to be placed by the Bidder will be made in good faith and not pursuant to any direct or indirect, agreement or discussion with, or inducement from, any other bidder to submit a complementary or other noncompetitive bid.

4. If it is determined that the bidder(s) have violated any of these bid requirements then their bid shall be voided and if they were the successful bidder the lien and any deposits made in connection with said bid shall be forfeited.

A vibrating floor is a concern

Q. We are redoing our largest bathroom, and our interior designer and contractor are planning to put 12-inch-square tiles on the walls and the ceiling across the room. It should be nice, but we’re wondering if there’s something that needs to be done that we should know about, since we wonder if the tile can’t come down. The floor above is bedrooms and bathrooms, and we notice a little shaking in the floor when people are walking around. Should we be concerned?

A. Yes. As with any construction, you should always be concerned, or at least educated enough to be confident, about what others are doing to your home. Never take for granted that the people you hire just know it all.

Nobody knows it all, and with the internet, it’s possible to see examples to answer your question.

The funny thing is that I onte eeper went to the internet to see if anything has changed with tile adhesives and best materials before answering your question.

What I found were a number of different how-to videos, and nearly every one of them left out imporDenise Azzato tant information. People only tell you what they Associate Broker know.

to todAy’s puzzle

opINIoNS

s there anyone on stage — and can I see hands? — who is unwilling tonight to pledge your support to the eventual nominee of the Republican Party, and pledge to not run an independent campaign against that person?”

That was a question that Bret Baier, of Fox News, asked 10 presidentially hopeful Republicans at a debate in August 2015. On the stage, only one person raised his hand — Donald Trump.

The rest is history.

Trump won the 2016 primary, and we didn’t have to MICHAEL endure an election which Trump MALASZCZYK in ran as a third-party candidate after losing. But we could be approaching that scenario soon.

I imagine that if televised debates existed in 1912, then former President Theodore Roosevelt would have had a similar response to that question. Roosevelt was running against his successor, William Howard Taft — whom he had handpicked, but with whose results as president Roosevelt was disappointed.

What did Teddy Roosevelt and Donald Trump have in common? Ego. It’s hard for anyone to get a word in edgewise with Trump, and historical accounts suggest a

W

similar phenomenon with Roosevelt.

They also had something in common that’s even more important for an election: a dedicated following that was loyal to them over any party. Both have been described as presidents who had “cults of personality.” Trump’s is apparent every day. I have yet to see a truck drive by with 20 bumper stickers and two flags praising President Biden. Roosevelt’s still manifests to this day in some ways. When talking politics, you can say “Teddy” and everyone knows who you’re talking about.

Of course, Roosevelt and Trump are complete opposites on the political spectrum. Teddy was seen as a progressive leader for his time, while Trump is considered right wing. But as former presidents with ambitions of returning to the White House, the similarities between Roosevelt, in 1912, and Trump, in 2023, can’t be ignored.

Trump’s path to next year’s nomination is questionable — many Republicans have made it clear that they want nothing more to do with him. Ever since the candidates he backed performed poorly in November’s midterms, Trump’s lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in polls has shrunk. Even more concerning for Trump is that these are multi-candidate

W

polls in which he holds a plurality. If other candidates drop out and throw their weight behind DeSantis, Trump is in trouble.

But given his apparent inability to concede fair elections, it’s difficult to imagine Trump bowing out of the race and endorsing DeSantis against Biden. A more feasible scenario is Trump running as a thirdparty candidate.

That would be great news for Biden.

In 1912, Taft won the Republican nomination over Roosevelt, but refusing to concede, Roosevelt ran under the banner of the Bull Moose Party.

The result? The quiet, reserved Democratic nominee, Woodrow Wilson, swept the election. Despite winning only 41 percent of the popular vote, Wilson received 435 electoral votes and carried 40 states. Roosevelt finished second, with 88 electoral votes. Taft won only eight.

Taft’s and Roosevelt’s votes combined would have crushed Wilson. But the Republicans couldn’t unite, and the Democrat pulled off a landslide.

The parallels with 2024 aren’t all the same. There was a Republican incumbent in 1912; next year it will be a Democrat.

And views on the issues were different then than they are now. Economically,

ill Donald Trump repeat Teddy Roosevelt’s third-party misadventure?

Wilson would be to the left of Bernie Sanders, but socially, he’d be to the right of Marjorie Taylor Greene.

But the parallels are too significant to ignore — most notably, the Roosevelt and Trump diehard voters. And Taft was a respected leader who had once been seen as the heir to Roosevelt’s legacy. DeSantis is a well-known governor who is seen by many as a successor to Trump as the leader of his movement. Wilson may have been lacking in adoring fans, but he had the votes to win — like Biden may.

Republicans in 1912 couldn’t rally around the winner of their primary because one candidate with an ego refused to lose. And if the vote for speaker of the House 111 years later showed us anything, it’s that the divisions in today’s Republican Party over Donald Trump consist of a lot more than personal disagreements. In a three-way, Biden-DeSantis-Trump scenario, only Biden, and a unified Democratic Party, stand to gain.

Republicans are not one party right now. No promises have been made on their end to ensure that Biden won’t coast to victory. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Republicans had better get it together, and fast, or they’ll be “Woodrow Wilsoned” by Biden in 2024.

A.I. is sucking the life out of us

ho am I? Ask Siri. I don’t know where she ends and I begin.

When my iPhone alarm went off at 6:30 this morning, it was to remind me I needed to hustle to my dentist appointment at 8 a.m. Getting dragged out of a deep sleep was especially painful because my wake-up music is “My Shot,” from “Hamilton.”

Lin Manuel Miranda’s repetitive assertion to thumping music is singularly irritating. But I clicked the wrong music alarm button three years ago, and inertia has kept it RANDI in place. So I shut KREISS off the phone and moved into my day.

A half-hour later, a “reminder” popped on my phone to take my thyroid meds and my vitamins. It was only 7 a.m., and I’d already been told what to do twice by my techno masters.

Slowly but inexorably, we are relinquishing free will and allowing technology to determine our decisions and our actions, our exercise habits, our purchas-

es and our tastes. I hear you saying, “But we were the ones who decided to buy the phone or the Fitbit or the Alexa,” and that is true. But I believe we humans have been naïve, vulnerable and unprepared for the seductive intrusion of technology into every moment of our waking hours.

Take me. The alarm was just the beginning. After I obediently took my meds, I saw a reminder pop up to take the chicken out of the freezer for dinner. I also had several “sticky notes” on my phone to call the dog groomer, prepare for a book group, set up a service call for the car and try calling JetBlue one more time to follow up on a refund. In pre-tech days, I would have these reminders on a piece of paper (remember when Post-its were so cool?), but responding to a pop-up feels like it’s in control, not me. Old-school notes on paper are just quieter.

In the time I’ve been writing this, I got a notification from Open Table to confirm a reservation. It told me that I must press 1 to confirm. I obeyed. Then, from an entirely different source, a shocking head-

M

line popped up, which told me that to read more about a titillating news story, I needed to click the message.

Because I almost bought a sweater from Bloomingdale’s a year ago, the store keeps telling me I “forgot” an item in my cart. It’s a technological nudge that distracts me in the moment and makes me think about the sweater, thus hijacking my attention.

This happens all day.

I don’t wear a smartwatch or tracking device because I don’t want another boss in my life. Nevertheless, my iPhone has started telling me how many steps I take. I don’t care. I don’t want to know, and I don’t want to get locked into obsessively quantifying my exercise.

At some point in my day, I will get a message from one or another of my apps, advising me that I need to change my password because somewhere in the Ethernet there has been a “breach.” It suggests that I add three security questions and a “rescue” email.

Then up pops a text advising me which books to purchase next, based on my Kin-

y phone has started telling me how many steps I take. I don’t care.

dle purchases, I suppose.

I downloaded the app Calm some time ago to learn meditation techniques for a more relaxing sleep experience. Now the word is out, and other apps are messaging me, offering bedtime stories read by boring narrators guaranteed to induce a good snooze. Every action on the phone or computer opens a door to thousands of other intrusions.

If I buy a pair of jeans online, I am hounded by competing clothing companies that want my business. Press here, click here, send us your email for a 10 percent discount. Send us your phone number for a freebie.

I was with a friend for a planned interlude of just sitting around and reading our books in my house. We would have companionable silence, sip our coffee and be at peace. Except that she has a thingie on her smartwatch that buzzes and tells her to get up and walk every 20 minutes.

And she does. It’s probably good for her circulation, but it’s definitely bad for her sense of free will.

Slowly, we are giving ourselves over to technology and giving up personhood, frogs in water slowly coming to a boil.

anuary is National Blood Donor Month, first established a half-century ago. And it’s a good thing that declaration stuck, because blood is often in short supply, as it is today, even in our post-pandemic world.

And January is the worst month when it comes to blood shortages. That’s probably because people are busy in November and December, preparing for, and then enjoying, the holidays, with little time to donate blood. Then, what follows those family gatherings and parties with friends are often colds and the flu — and Covid-19 — all of which keep people home, and far away from making muchneeded blood donations.

There was an uptick in Covid infections at this time last year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s too early to tell how this month will shake out, but because the current strain — kraken — is highly contagious, the CDC predicts that as people attend gatherings inside during the winter months, more people will get sick.

Recent months have also seen outbreaks of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV. Although it’s more serious among infants and older adults, anyone can get RSV, and doctors are finding that people

letters If not Albany, who will deliver affordable housing?

To the Editor: Re last week’s editorial, “We don’t need Albany’s concrete fist in Nassau”: Well, perhaps we do. We are told, “It’s not that our local government officials don’t want affordable housing.” Yet is it not those very entities that established and maintain the conditions that have driven 300,000 people from New York in a single year, and have proposed nothing to slow the continuing daily average of 820 departures?

The thousands willing to move into Nassau would benefit from the application of some goad, prod, or spur of any kind to overcome Nassau County’s inertia in dealing with our problem of too little middle/working class housing.

To the Editor: Dear 3rd House District of New York: CNN reports, “Two New Jersey veterans say

of all ages do.

Why is donating blood so important?

Because every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood or platelets, according to the American Red Cross.

And roughly 29,000 units of red blood cells, 5,000 units of platelets and 6,500 units of plasma are needed every day.

Because blood and platelets cannot be manufactured, donors are needed. And often. Add to this the fact that red blood cells expire after 42 days, and platelets must be used within a week.

But don’t get lost in the numbers.

Donating even once produces a pint of blood, which the Red Cross counts as three units. That can help save three lives — or one life, of someone who is seriously injured. Car accident victims can require as much as 100 units of blood, and those fighting cancer and blood diseases need even more.

What peopless may not realize is that donating blood can benefit donors beyond just feeling good that they’ve made a difference. It offers a mini-physical, because part of the process includes the taking of vital signs, which might uncover conditions like high blood pressure or even a heart arrhythmia.

Doctors say that donating blood regu-

larly reduces cardiovascular risk factors and is linked to lower blood pressure and minimizing the chance of a heart attack.

How? If the donor’s hemoglobin is too high while blood is being drawn, doing so will help reduce the “viscosity” of the blood, which causes blood clots, heart attacks and strokes.

There aren’t many requirements to join the fight to save lives, other than being healthy. According to the New York Blood Center, candidates must be at least 16 years old and not have donated blood within the past 56 days. Those younger than 18 must have a signed permission slip from a parent or guardian.

People older than 75 can donate, too, with a letter confirming sound health from a doctor.

And those who have had Covid can donate if they have been symptom-free, and have not tested positive, for two weeks.

Find out how you can donate today by contacting the New York Blood Center, at NYBC.org. You can also schedule a donation at (800) 933-2566.

January is when we celebrate those who donate blood and platelets. But giving the gift of life is something all of us can do all year long.

hen I was growing up, it was hard not to notice the numbers tattooed on her wrist.

Children are often very observant, and I was curious about what they meant.

My grandmother Judith Mandel grew up in a small town called Hatvan, a few miles outside Budapest, Hungary. She was an ordinary girl, but she learned quickly that her heritage made her different when her classmates began to taunt her for being Jewish.

Following German forces’ annexDanieL ation of Austria in 1938, they set their oFFner sights on Hungary, and they invaded in March 1944. A few weeks later, my great-grandmother Ilona Kalman and my grandmother were forced into a ghetto at a sugar factory.

Judith was 16 when she and her mother were deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp, in occupied Poland, that June. When they arrived, Judith was separated from her mother and forced to work in the camp, while my great-grandmother was put to death in the gas chamber.

My grandmother would survive, but

not before being put to work at the Krakow-Plaszow, Seeshaupt and Dachau camps. When she was liberated by American troops from Dachau in May 1945, she weighed 45 pounds.

After the war, she married Ernest Mandel, and in 1948 they emigrated to the United States. They settled in the Bronx and raised three daughters.

Having witnessed the atrocities of the Holocaust, my grandmother had a difficult time adjusting to her new life. For many years she was afraid to plug things into electrical sockets because of her experience with electrified fences, and would overfeed her first-born daughter, my mother, so she wouldn’t starve. She struggled to learn English.

Her story had a profound impact on me. When I was a child, she often told me about her experiences. She took me to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington. I learned that being Jewish was part of my identity, and that while we lived in a country that was founded on the principal of freedom from religious persecution, this wasn’t the case in other parts of the world.

That’s why it is so important to remember the Holocaust, as we will this Friday,

o

n Friday the world will reflect on the horror, and I’ll honor my grandmother.

Letters now-Congressman George Santos promised to raise funds for lifesaving surgery for one of their dogs in 2016, then became elusive and took off with the money.” This is what you elected to Congress?

Really? The guy steals money from a homeless veteran’s dog, which has a tumor?

I think this, above all else, tells us about the values of the wealthy.

No humanity. No compassion. No concern for anything beyond their own income and comfort.

I would strongly recommend that you voters in the 3rd District get yourselves a copy of “A Tale of Two Cities” and read it cover to cover. And I would strongly recommend you recall this clown. He has no business being in D.C. Or anywhere else, for that matter.

To the Editor: Re “Long Island’s energ y

which is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It is important never to forget the 6 million lives lost simply because of their religious, ethnic, gender or genetic differences, because history has a wicked way of repeating itself.

Over the past year alone, there has been so much hateful rhetoric on Long Island. The pamphlets of antisemitic literature being circulated across our communities, and the reports of those harmed for their beliefs, are enough to make many of us sick.

While I’m thankful that I live in a nation where, for the most part, we embrace one another’s differences, it is important to remember, and understand, why the Holocaust happened, in order to prevent anything like it from ever happening again. That is why it is so important to teach children about it — so we, and they, never forget what took place. Books like “Number the Stars,” by Lois Lowry, and “Daniel’s Story,” by Carol Matas, shouldn’t be deemed too “controversial,” because their subject matter is the human condition.

Banning literature — as the Nazis did generations ago — will only open a path to more of the kind of prejudice that can poison our society.

This has already happened in one

Texas school district, where, in 2021, teachers were advised to include reading that offered “opposing” views on controversial topics. What makes this so despicable isn’t just the fact that when it comes to the Holocaust, there are no reasonable opposing views, because any literature that denies that it happened is itself hate speech — but also that people have become so sensitive that they believe there has to be an alternative to accounts of violence and death to educate others about real events in history.

That is why it is so important to teach children about the Holocaust. We must never forget the lessons the world learned. Yes, the Holocaust showed us the worst of humanity, but banning its honest examination in the classroom will only perpetuate the type of ignorance that allowed such horror to happen in the first place.

We must continue to encourage this chapter of history to be a part of our children’s education. They deserve to know the unfiltered truth, so they will never be taken in by the false rhetoric that has been perpetuated by Holocaust deniers.

My grandmother’s struggle, and that of so many others who came here seeking refuge from persecution, cannot have been for nothing.

future: vision vs. mirage” (Jan. 12-18): I have to vehemently disagree with the authors’ statement that “heat pumps and Long Island are a match made in heaven.” I purchased heating pumps at the recommendation of Green Team Long Island, and took part in the state loan program. I seriously regret my decision, because the heating pumps don’t work as promised.

Basically, they blow cool air throughout my living room, creating a draft that I never had before.

They are so ineffective that I dress in layers and need a blanket to cover my legs when I sit at my dining room table. I have to look for a corner of the living room where these ridiculous pumps aren’t blowing. If I don’t want them to blow cool air, then I have to turn them down so low that it’s like having no heat at all.

Combating climate change should be our number one priority, but the products that are being promoted and sold need to work before they are put on the market.
