Renovations keep families with disabled members together

By KYlE CHIN kchin@liherald.com

About 140 people turned out for a fundraiser at Connolly Station restaurant on Sept. 25, donating about $10,000 to the renovation of the Solinto family home in Malverne, which will help the Solintos care for their son, who has cerebral palsy.

In 2016, Vincent Centauro, and his wife, Gina, of Franklin Square, founded Rescuing Families Inc., the group responsible for renovating homes for those with disabilities. The Centauros have 15 years of experience in contracting and construction and have helped care for mem-

bers of their own family with disabilities.

“We have disabled family members that we’re helping,” Gina Centauro said. “So we saw a need in the community that wasn’t being met, and although we didn’t have a lot of money, we had time and we had skill. So we decided to start the charity to help families on Long Island.”

The Centauros have helped five families through Rescuing Families Inc., renovating houses in Elmont, Hemstead, Port Jefferson Station and Wyandanch.

While Rescuing Families collects funds to carry out renovations on its own, the organiza-

tion hosts at least one fundraiser for each family it assists if the work goes over-budget.

Most recently, the group has been raising funds in support of the Solinto family, which has called Malverne home for about 50 years, since Antonio Solinto and his wife, Joan, first moved there and raised daughters Gabrielle and Emilia and their now 46-year-old son, Phillip.

Now in their mid-70s, the couple has encountered more difficulties in caring for their son, who was born with cerebral palsy.

“My parents were very rooted here within this community,” Gabrielle Solinto-Lozowsky

said. “It’s a very supportive community. I was bor n and raised here, and my parents really want to stay a family unit.

“In order for them to stay in the community that they love, we needed to do some major renovations on the house, because it’s just not safe (for Phillip),” she added. “We came across Gina’s organization, Rescuing

Families. We explained our situation, what was going on, and we were one of the families chosen. We are so grateful to them for giving us this opportunity to keep our family together in the community that they love.”

Gabrielle’s sister, Emilia Solinto-Lawler, said, “They’re an amazing charity. They do Continued on page 15

Fighters rebuild strength through boxing

By MICHAEL MALASZCZYK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com

When former professional fighter Michael Corleone hung up the gloves to become a boxing trainer, he had no idea that “miracle work” would be his calling by training disabled fighters.

Corleone, who is from Franklin Square, opened his gym, “Kayo Boxing,” in 2004. The gym first operated at Gold’s Gym, and then in Synergy, both located in Garden City Park. Kayo Boxing then moved to its current location in West Hempstead in 2018, and has remained there ever since.

Corleone and a dedicated team of USA Boxing certified coaches teach boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai, and the rigorous fitness training that accompanies these martial arts.

Corleone had a long and illustrious career as a fighter.

His first fight was a kickboxing match in Puerto Rico in 1992 against National Puerto Rican champion Roberto Mercedes. Corleone knocked out his opponent in the sixth round.

Corleone went on to compete in both boxing and kickboxing, fighting on the undercards of big names like George Foreman and Michael Grant. He even shared the squared circle once with Mikkel Kessler, considered to be an all-time great super middleweight, and gave Kessler a tough match.

In addition, Corleone was a sparring partner for legendary boxers such as Arturo Gatti and Hector “Macho” Camacho. Corleone won countless titles in both sports, with his biggest achievement being the International Boxing Organization junior welterweight champion of the world.

“I was never an easy fight for anyone,” Corleone said.

“Anybody who faced me could tell you that.”

Corleone retired from boxing in 2008 and became a full time trainer. He has mentored numerous amateur and professional boxers since then, but in recent years, his passion has led him to train disabled fighters.

One of those he trained was Lorenzo Thomas, who lives in Suffolk County. Thomas was struck in the head by a stray bullet in 2013. He survived, but many of his motor functions were affected, and he had to learn once again how to walk. In 2019, Thomas, searching for boxing gyms on Long Island, discovered Kayo Boxing and began training with Corleone. While Corleone was reluctant at first, not wanting to make any promises, training Thomas became what he describes as his calling.

“A lot of people with brain injuries somewhat recover, but then it gets stagnant,” Corleone said. “They plateau.

But boxing activates every muscle in your body, and it makes improvements.”

After Thomas’ story of training was featured on ESPN, Corleone began training more disabled fighters, such as Donovan Maldonado, who was hit by a car in 2016. Like Thomas, Maldonado suffered a traumatic brain injury. His motor functions were damaged as well, and at one point he was legally blind. Maldonado’s father, Matt, saw Thomas’ story on ESPN. “We saw ESPN’s Instagram post with Lorenzo, and we noticed that he walks exactly like Donnie,” Matt Maldonado said of his son. “And we figured this has to be in California, probably. But then we saw it was in Nassau County. We live in Brentwood. I asked Donnie if he wanted to try this out, and it was an instant ‘yes.’”

When Donovan Maldonado first arrived at Kayo Boxing, he had trouble walking on his own, his father said.

Now he sprints into the gym when it’s training time, can box standing completely on his own, and even do pushups without any help.

“He had trouble walking and had tremors on the right side of his body,” his father said. “Now he can throw a great right cross and a great left hook, too.”

Maldonado has made great strides training with Corleone, and his father said that he no longer takes any

KAYo BoxIng IS the perfect boxing gym, with a ring, heavy bags, speed bags, double-end bags, and more to help boxers learn to fight. medication -- only vitamins. Matt Maldonado said he is very grateful to Corleone for the work he does with his son.

“This is a workout from the crown of the head to the soles of the feet,” the father said. “It’s a blessing to have Mike. Twenty or 30 years ago, when someone got an injury like this, they’d be medicated and put in a facility. Now my son is here learning to box.”

Some days are better than others, and Maldonado said his son sometimes would rather stay in bed than train.

“I know that feeling myself,” Corleone said, “of wanting to stay in bed. But that’s what fighting is all about -pushing yourself to the limits. And Donnie and all the other guys I work with show a true fighter’s heart.”

Corleone trains a number of other disabled fighters at Kayo Boxing, all making progress at various levels. Corleone said he plans to continue doing this miracle work.

“When I first started fighting in the ‘90s, of course I wanted to be the next great junior welterweight,” Corleone said. “But God had other plans for me. Training these guys and seeing their progress is worth more than any amount of money in the world. My father told me that, ‘If you love what you do, you’ll never have to work.’

I’ve been in business for almost 20 years, and I haven’t worked a hard day yet.”

Improv group returns after pandemic hiatus

became an expert in me.”

In the same sketch, DiGirolamo took on the persona of sea shanty singer Seamus O’Houlihan O’Patrick O’Houlihan. He recalled that his favorite shanty was called “Ariel Mermaid of the Sea.” “All she wants is to be a part of your world, and if you drink enough beers, she will appear,” he said.

In one sketch DiGirolamo portrayed influencer-turned-nature documentarian Jordi B. A tribe of sentient koalas with a taste for human flesh, as portrayed by Pagano and Callahan, would attack Jordi B, as he explored the Australian outback.

The koalas would make a terrifying return in a final television surfing sketch, violently seizing control of the set of

Wheel of Fortune.

Coonan said he was pleased to return to this zany and over-the-top style of performance after the pandemic had placed the group on a two-year holding pattern.

In the interim, the four men and other members of Malverne Community Theatre still kept busy virtually.

“When the pandemic hit, we still wanted to make theater,” Coonan said. “So we figured we would try some virtual stuff.

We did a lot of old radio plays. Everyone met on zoom and we would give out parts and perform. We did a couple of variety shows and one-act play stuff. We just really tried to play with the virtual space.”

Coonan said he was glad to meet audiences in person again. “Small stuff like this is the stuff that we love, where you just have a small, intimate audience of friends, and people who just enjoy the chaos that we create doing stuff like this,” he said.

Malverne Community Theatre was initially founded in 1967 and only functioned for about three years. However, technicalities of state law kept the organization alive on paper for more than 40 years while the group lay dormant. In 2011, Coonan decided to revive the troupe.

One of its first performances was a 2012 staging of Edgar Allan Poe’s writings reworked into a play. Coonan said he hoped to mark the 10-year anniversary of this occasion with another performance of Poe’s work sometime later this month.

The performers share a long history: Coonan and Callahan went to high school together in Malverne, and Coonan taught Pagano and DiGirolamo at Hicksville High School.

Thursday’s performance was broken up into a number of sketch games, each having unique rules, themes or scenarios the three actors had to act out.

While Coonan did not directly participate in any of the sketches, he prefaced each with an explanation of the segment’s general idea and rules. Throughout some of the sketches, he would also order a dramatic change in direction for comedic effect.

The three actors portrayed a host of wacky characters throughout the performance. Some characters and elements even carried through from sketch to sketch.

In the first segment, the three performers were tasked with portraying experts in random fields. Callahan became a nerdy stamp collector, while Pagano played a pretentious German mime connoisseur.

“I was at clown school, and we all lost our voice,” Pagano said as the mime expert. “What we all realized was, what’s even more sad than a clown, is a clown who lost his voice. That is how I became an expert in mime, and mimes, therefore,

Harding said she wanted to take the time to get to know the group’s stakeholders — people directly impacted by its work. “I think when you are an organization like ERASE, a lot of our time is spent among professionals — the elected officials, the community-based organizations, 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 working 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 advocacy and community education Elaine branches. “It allows us to develop and build capacity in students and regular community 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 succeed her. “It is thrilling for me to see a new president with a breadth of experience 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 tremendous work, Harding said, but a lot still needs to be accomplished. “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 Gross 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 equitable 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 connecting with our various communities and stakeholders to hear their thoughts, and hopefully advocate for them in a way that’s powerful.”

For some teams, success doesn’t happen right out of the gate. After starting the season with two straight loses, the West Hempstead boys’ volleyball club has found its stride winning five of the last six matchups to rise in Conference 2C. Last week, the Rams took down Sewanhaka along with Valley Stream Central in non-conference play. A big reason for the Rams recent uptick in success has been consistency.

“We’re looking to play at a higher level as the season moves along,” coach Andrew Wilson said. “The things that we do well I want to see more of and the things we have some difficulty with we obviously want to cut down on.”

A premiere set-up man for the Rams is setter Stephen Schreck, who never played the position until just recently. In each of their five wins, the junior has tallied at least 15 assists and set a new season high last Friday with 29. Schreck’s 131 assists are fifth most in the conference.

“Stephen has been doing a very solid job,” Wilson said. “That really helped our passing game a lot now that we’re able to have our libero play his normal position.”

The libero is Kevin Castro, who began the season at setter. The senior has not only been leading the way offensively, but defensively as well. Castro’s 32 aces are tied for the most in the conference and fourth in Nassau while his 93 digs are good for second most in 2C. “If I had to pick a vocal leader of the team, it definitely would be Kevin,” Wilson said. “Kevin is the most experienced on the team and Stephen being able to move to setter has worked out great for us.”

Castro is one of two seniors on the Rams roster alongside Christian Marquez.

The remaining 11 players are all juniors, but that doesn’t mean the club isn’t looking ahead as well.

“Every single year you’re always looking ahead, but right now we’re doing what’s in the best interest for this season,” Wilson said. “Getting everyone to play in every match will not only benefit us this year, but next year as well.”

aDeN palMer is part of a large junior class comprising the Rams’ roster and contributing 7 kills per match.

Michelet Sainvilus and Aden Palmer have been doing their share as Sainvilus leads the Rams with 17 blocks in eight games while Palmer averages just over seven kills per match.

“We have a lot of kids that lead by example and are really dedicated to this team,” Wilson said. “I can always tell the JV kids to follow what our varsity players are doing.”

On the court, the goal for West Hempstead remains the same as it sits third in the conference with an overall record of 5-3 and looks to keep momentum going.

“We are improving and getting better,” Wilson said. “We just want to keep it going by playing some good volleyball and get some wins.”

Next up for the Rams is a conference matchup against Plainedge.

South Shore Estuary Reserve Act is updated 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 comprehensive plan, as opposed to local governments potentially dealing with environmental 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 representatives of the New York Department of State, Nassau and Suffolk counties and numerous municipalities and conservation 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 education 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 Commissioner 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 ecosystem has to offer. Clavin and Town Councilman 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 environmental diversity, and contributes greatly to the fabric of our township’s unique coastal nature area,” Clavin said. “The Town of

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 conservation 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, recreation and tourism, but also better prepares 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

L

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

Helping Thru Humor, a non-profit fundraising 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 talent to a drum corps.

Pursuing such a path was a very expensive undertaking, 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 audience 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,

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. 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 iconic 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 stories about overcoming adversity with comedy and an inspirational message.

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

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

Derrick was a gifted athlete on his way to really making 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 wisdom 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.

Perspectives 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 WHERE since the Biennial’s opening installation in 2010. This WHEN year, the museum received a whopping 732 entries. Interest • Heckscher Museum of Art, in this showcase reflects the 2 Prime Ave., Huntington.

(631) 351-3250 or diversity and enthusiasm of the Heckscher.org local creative community.

• 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, patterns and texts have merged 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.’

Bottom: Kayla Moz’s sculpture references her inner self.

’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.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Higher mortgage interest rates appear to be cutting into home sales in August across the state, but closing prices continue 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 percent. 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 percent 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.

Event raises thousands to support the Solinto family continued from front page great work for the disabled community.”

Rescuing Families Inc., and the Solinto family made the connection to Connolly Station through Lori Hunt Lang, a Malverne-based real estate agent and family friend of the Solintos.

Lang worked at Connolly Station as a youth, and so have her children. She reached out to the restaurant, which offered a special rate to host the charity fundraiser.

In addition to the $40 admission tickets to the happy hour event, Lang also organized a raffle for which those who attended could buy tickets. Various local businesses put together baskets, which were given out as raffle prizes.

“I tried to keep it Malverne business-

focused,” Lang said. “We have Cauffey Realty, we have Antonio’s, we have Malverne Bakery, we have End of the Vine wine shop.”

Local families who wanted to support the Solintos also donated some items to the raffle.

With the admission fee and raffle tickets sold, about $10,000 was raised for renovations, doubling the goal of $5,000.

“Everybody’s chipping in to help us,” Solinto-Lozowsky said. “I have my girlfriends from college who came from upstate. I have people who came from Virginia. I have people who came from New Jersey. You name it -- they’ve come from all over in support. They all know my brother. He’s the nucleus of the family.”

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, growing 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 marketing term they used was to call these homes “estate homes,” partly, I believe, because they needed more land and a greater distance between neighbors.

I also remember that the onte eeper homes were arranged so the neighbors didn’t have a view out of side windows, looking into one another’s garages.

Your idea of creating another covered area to sit outdoors on hot, sunny days makes sense. Because there are no requirements for neighbor’s permission, or that residences require prescribed parking dimensions, your only problem is whether you have the turning area, also known to planners as turning 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, hopefully, to plant hedges, then you should have no problem 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 paving 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 official 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!

opinions

here are all kinds of people who seek public office. Some are former government officials hoping to work their way up the political ladder. Others are businesspeople looking 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 perception of what a candidate should look and act like.

The fourth variety of office seeker is the celebrity candidate who would like to JERRY parlay his or her name recognition KREMER into elective office.

There’s a long history of celebrity candidates who’ve looked to turn fame into a different kind of power. Some of them have been sports heroes. The earliest 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 succeeded 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-

B

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 Campbell went from competing in judo in the 1964 Olympic Games to representing Colorado in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. Professional wrestler 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 television star candidates. The first one was George Murphy, a leading man of Hollywood 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 politics during or after film or television careers includes Shirley Temple Black, Cynthia Nixon, Sonny Bono, Clint East-

H

wood, Sean Duffy, Clay Aiken, Fred Grandy, George Takei, Melissa Gilbert and John David Lodge. The current roster 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 continues with the upcoming November election. In Pennsylvania, Mehmet Oz is seeking to become a U.S. Senator. Oz gained television 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 Fetterman, lacks a show business background, 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 Walker is a Republican Senate candidate in Georgia, opposing Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, and television political commentator Tudor Dixon is the Republican candidate for governor in Michigan, challenging incumbent

istory has shown that endorsements by big names usually don’t produce votes.

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

Some prominent figures are not seeking 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 celebrities as their endorsers. But history has shown that endorsements by big names usually don’t produce votes, and bigname endorsers often loses public support for their next movie or television show.

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

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

This year, issues like abortion, inflation, 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 Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

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

y 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 barrier island, at latitude 27.36798 degrees N, longitude -82.62578 degrees W. We were just beginning to hear about a new tropical depression that eventually became Ian, a meteorological thresher that shredded the southwest coast of Florida just days later. It made landfall near Fort Myers, an hour south of us, at latiRAnDi tude 26.64227 KREiss degrees N, longitude -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 increasingly 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. During Hurricane Katrina we were in Fort Lauderdale and had to evacuate to the west coast. Hurricane Sandy scattered us all over.

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 Bogart 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 pressure falls, the seas turn an ominous shade of green and the birds stop sing-

T

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.

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

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

many 500-year storms do we need to survive 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 century 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

his Sunday is the beginning of National Fire Prevention Week, a century-old public health observance created by the National Fire Protection Association that was first officially 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 Chicago 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 estimates 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 minute. 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. Firefighting 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 responders who get nothing in return for their service except the satisfaction of knowing 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 together 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 negotiate with the building owner to buy it for what today would be pennies on the dollar — 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 campaign is “Fire won’t wait, plan your escape.” Homes burn faster today than ever before, according to the fire protection association. If your home catches fire and you’re inside, you could have less

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 recommends 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, outside every sleeping area — like hallways — and on every level, including the basement. 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, everywhere.

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.

letters 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 proposals. 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 redefining a student loan to mean a gift, and the continuing denial of the crisis at the southern 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 whatever failures Trump may have been responsible for earlier (and forget his achievements).

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

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, invasion 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.

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

I suppose you wouldn’t be happy, either, if you spent nearly a decade pumping your people full of lies to prepare them for this invasion. After all, Putin has dedicated a ton of resources to making sure his people believe that Ukraine belongs to them, that Ukrainians are actually just confused Russians or miCHaeL Poles, and that is ruled maLasZCZYk Ukraine

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 considerable gains in Russian-occupied territory.

And, unable to cope with this, Putin has gone to a new threat: nuclear war. Western 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 people’s minds not too long ago. The way warnings of the dangers of technology, mental health struggles and other, newer issues permeate today’s entertainment, 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 problems 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 character, 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

i

n ‘Planet of the Apes,’ we eventually discover what men have done to our planet.

LetteRs Governor, please sign the crypto mining moratorium To the Editor: Gov. Kathy Hochul must sign legislation establishing a moratorium on cryptocurrency mining powered by burning fracked gas. This kind of mining, used to make Bitcoin, known as “proof of work,” is extremely energy-intensive, consuming more energy than some entire nations.

The Greenidge Generating Station in the Finger Lakes highlights the threat to our beautiful state. This facility, a formerly shuttered coal plant, is now continuously burning fracked gas for Bitcoin 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 endangering our climate. Governor, please take

humans down with a passion, and Taylor is confused about why. One of the orangutan superiors, Dr. Zaius, played by Maurice Evans, pursues Taylor with religious zeal when Taylor, unlike all the other humans, speaks. Zaius interrogates 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 devil’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 nuclear 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-apocalyptic 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 animals. 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 solution to the world’s problems.

immediate action to prevent more such travesties.

Establishing an immediate moratorium on cryptocurrency mining powered by fossil fuels, while completing a comprehensive study of its impacts on the climate and the environment more broadly, is a prudent and necessary action. The Legislature passed bills several 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 environment, 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.
