Town Supervisor Don Clavin, joined by County Legislator Bill Gaylor and Maureen Greenberg, president of the West Hempstead Community Support Association, announced that the town is looking to declare the Capri Motor Inn as eminent domain. The town is asking neighbors what they’d like to see as a replacement.

Clavin: Capri Motor Inn to be replaced with ‘better’

By NIColE FoRMISANo nformisano@liherald.com

The Capri Motor Inn, which was shut down and declared a public nuisance last month by the Town of Hempstead, will be replaced by a new commercial or residential property through the process of eminent domain, officials said.

Town and county officials said they want West Hempstead neighbors to have a say in its replacement.

“We’re getting rid of this place,” Town Supervisor Don Clavin announced at an Oct. 3 news conference held in front of the now closed-down motel. “Something better is

coming.”

Clavin added that the town is holding a meeting on Dec. 5 to declare the Capri Motor Inn property on Hempstead Turnpike eminent domain, which means government officials could take over the property for a different use. What will take the motel’s place is yet to be determined — but Clavin said “anything’s better” than the Capri.

“West Hempstead wants to see real development,” Clavin said. “West Hempstead wants to see safe streets. West Hempstead deserves to be respected. And this facility behind us doesn’t do that.”

West Point grad soon departing for Israel nformisano@liherald.com

In the near future, Anthony Marco will be jumping out of flying planes to land in dangerous combat zones in service to the U.S. military — but first, a quick pit stop. The Malver ne High School 2019 co-salutorian, who graduated 10th in a graduating class of over 1,000 from West Point Academy, has earned a prestigious scholarship to study government and homeland security in Israel.

“I wanted to be amongst the best,” Marco said. “Amongst a group of people that everything that they’re going to do, they’re going to do at 110 percent.”

Marco is the kind of man that sets his sights on a goal and does not waver — which is why his travel plans remain unchanged despite the recent declaration of war between Israel and Hamas.

His military aspirations date back to the 8th grade. He had a passion for reading about history, and noticed that all the best generals had gone to West Point. Marco made his decision to pursue military leadership — all that was left was the work it takes to get there.

“I wanted to lead,” Marco said. “You want to build and develop other people, you want to be at the center of the planning and decision making and executing plans.”

Marco decided early on that he wanted to be in the Army branch because of the culture he said seemed to be unique to infantry soldiers.

“That environment resonated with arduous and time consuming.”

Marco didn’t just meet expectations, me, that idea of camaraderie, and a real team effort is on steroids in the army, but excelled. He was president of the and even in a combat environment,” History Club, Editor In Chief of West Marco said. “I just wanted to be in that Point’s renowned undergraduate review “The Report,” and founder and co-host culture.”

Marco had secured a spot in his ing in environments that are just as

dream placement. There was just one problem — he had also won a scholarship to spend a year getting a Master’s degree from Reichman University in Israel. He was on the fence — begin the operational army service that he’s so excited to join, or delay it for the scholarship?

Israel offered a unique opportunity that he couldn’t turn down. With its unique security environment, its complicated re gional tensions and its impressive defense force, the country would provide an opportunity for Marco to study one of the most complicated and pressing international relations issues of today. He said the insight into human interaction and cross-cultural competencies that he’ll gain through the experience will help him better serve the military.

“The way to approach the pursuit of excellence,” Marco said, “is not what it really does for you, but what it does for the people around you and the organization.”

Despite the recent declaration of war between Israel and Hamas, Marco will still be pursuing his Homeland Defense studies in Israel. Reichman University has put out a statement saying classes will still begin on time, and they have bomb shelters in nearly every building.

“I am incredibly proud of him, and of course, very worried about the situation there to be honest,” Marco’s mother Anita Marco said. “I give it to God because this life of service will be one of sacrifice and fear at times.”

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

With the size of estates having grown today to where middle class families are leaving substantial bequests to their children, the trend is toward establishing trusts for the children to keep the inheritance in the bloodline. In the case of your children, there are a number of benefits to leaving assets to them in a trust: (1) the assets will be protected from their spouse in the event of divorce (2) the assets will be protected from their creditors in the event of a lawsuit or other financial hardship, and (3) on your child’s death, the unused assets will go to your blood relatives (usually grandchildren) instead of to in-laws.

Whereas with a will your estate plan usually dies when you do, with an Inheritance Protection Trust (IPT) your wishes will go on for thirty, forty or even fifty more years after you.

These trusts provide that, during your children’s lifetimes, they have complete access to the income and the principal of their Inheritance Protection Trusts – so that you’re

not giving them a “gift with strings attached” or “ruling from the grave”.

But when your child dies, you would like the trust assets, which may have grown considerably, to go to your grandchildren. If the grandchildren are under age thirty-five, we recommend that the funds be held in trust for them until such age, with the trustee (usually another relative) using the assets as may be needed for their health, education, maintenance and support. If one of your children dies without leaving children of their own, then the trust funds go to their surviving siblings.

Keep in mind that, without an Inheritance Protection Trust, if your son or daughter dies, the entire inheritance you have left may go to a son-in-law or daughter-in-law who may later get remarried and share your hard earned assets with a complete stranger. If you wish to favor an in-law, there are options to provide them with an income for life.

West Hempstead’s boy’s volleyball team has been close in every match.

The Rams’ losses, which both came against arguably the two best teams on Long Island, have been close, while their wins weren’t as much.

The reason why being the Rams don’t rely on one player to dominate the stat sheet. Instead, it’s the contributions of the entire herd that have powered their strong season thus far.

“We want to be a little more balanced on offense,” West Hempstead coach Andrew Wilson said. “All the kids are skilled. They can all do something that can help us. I pretty much have played just about everybody in every match.”

That most recent match came against powerhouse Elmont Oct. 4. West Hempstead stuck around early on in sets, but the undefeated Spartans consistently managed to find the edge and earned a sweep. “[Elmont] played with a lot of effort, energy and intensity,” Wilson said. “We made a bunch of plays, they made a bunch of plays, it was a really good match. Afterward, a lot of people came up and said what an exciting match it was.

Every set was close.”

That might be the one thing that undermines West Hempstead’s success so far. At 5-2, the Rams haven’t separated themselves from the pack within Division II Conference B, as they’re tied for second place with Lawrence and sit a game behind Hewlett in the win column.

So how does West Hempstead plan to get over that hump?

Of course, as every team does, West Hempstead has leaders in individual statistics. Aden Palmer leads the team in kills and Stephen Schreck dominates assist totals, all the while libero Jeremy Jason Ramos’ 71 digs ranks top 10 in the county. But the strength of the Rams remains in their numbers.

“Every team has top players,” Wilson said. “We try to get our middles involved, our right side hitter involved, and try to play some good defense as a team. It’s

Senior setter Stephen Schrek is the quarterback of West Hempstead’s offense and had 34 assists in a recent win over Hewlett. pretty much what everybody tries to do.

It’s just a matter of who does it better.”

Over the course of the final seven matches on its schedule, West Hempstead will lean heavily on players such as Michelet Sainvilus, Ryan Merle, Joseph Thomas and Eduardo Leon Lotero to continue the consistency they’ve displayed to this point.

That stretch includes a rematch with Hewlett on Oct. 20 and another against Lawrence in the season finale on Oct. 26.

But before then, West Hempstead must

capture another key victory against Floral Park by having faith in the virtues that have carried it all season.

The Rams defeated Hewlett in four long sets in the first meeting, capped by a 26-24 finale. Schreck had 34 assists and Palmer 18 kills.

“We approach every match the same,” Wilson said. “We’re going to do what we need to do by playing with a lot of energy and a lot of intensity. I definitely am not overlooking anybody, and my players are not either.”

Political opponent raises ethical concerns about Gaylor’s mailers

By NICOLE FORMISANO Bill Gaylor is all about keeping his constituents informed, but is there such a thing as too much?

The Nassau County legislator’s Democratic opponent says yes — especially with five mailers in the last four weeks. Even more, Jake Scheiner says Gaylor’s mailers are not only an unethical use of taxpayer money, but they also violate the law.

County law mandates legislators cannot send out mass mailing within 45 days of an election. Scheiner notes Gaylor’s final mailing was received by many of his constituents — and potential voters — on Sep. 24.

That’s 44 days before the Nov. 7 election.

“Distributing political mailers in this blackout period challenges the very essence of ethical governance,” Scheiner said. “It prompts us to question the transparency of our elected officials, and the fairness of the electoral process.”

Of course, the question comes down to whether the law applies a deadline to when such mailers can be sent out, or when they can be received. Gaylor supporters could argue the mailers were taken to the post office on Sept. 22 — within county law — and they can’t control when the post office ultimately delivers them to homes.

Gaylor’s first mailer, sent out well before the blackout period, highlighted the county funds the county legislator secured for the Lynbrook Police Department. The second was about bicycle safety, while the third and fourth advertised Narcan training for opioid overdoses as well as the flu shot programs Gaylor cosponsored.

The fifth and final one, however, took a much more political tone, Scheiner claims. It told constituents the legislature’s Republican majority had not raised prop-

Jake Scheiner, who is challenging Bill Gaylor for his Nassau County Legislature seat, says his incumbent opponent should be investigated for what he called an unethical — if not outright illegal — mailer Gaylor’s sent out to constituents using taxpayer money. erty taxes in 14 consecutive years, while cutting taxes by nearly $50 million since 2009. Gaylor also boasted the proposed 2024 county budget from his Republican colleagues contains no tax increases.

“This is simply a campaign ad that’s being printed at the expense of the taxpayers and everybody here today,” Scheiner said, adding the statements made in the mailer are “completely and utterly false.”

“I have a copy here with me of the 2024 proposed Nassau County budget,” Scheiner said. “It clearly outlines that, over a 10-year time frame, property taxes have gone up under the Republican-led Nassau County Legislature.”

In addition, Scheiner claims each of Gaylor’s mail-

ers cost district cost taxpayers in excess of $5,000.

“It is disturbing to see our tax dollars spent on political advertising,” Markus Wilson, a Lynbrook resident and a Valley Stream education board member, said.

Mary Studdert, a spokeswoman for the county legislature’s Republican majority, released a statement to the Herald that didn’t address questions about the cost of the mailers, or how they were funded. Instead, she boasted that “Nassau County offers the finest services and programs anywhere.

“Of course, they are only effective if residents are made aware of them. All public service notifications from the majority legislature are distributed in compliance with all applicable regulations and restrictions.”

The concerns raised by the mailers coincide with the criticism Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman has received for putting his name on county parks and properties — something Scheiner says is part of an overall pattern with Republicans.

“It’s about a broader issue, which is prioritizing personal branding over the genuine needs and interests of our community,” the Democrat said. “Our community deserves elected officials who prioritize our concerns over personal or political gain.”

Gaylor, a former traffic court judge, was first elected in 2015 to the seat representing an area that includes Lynbrook, Malverne, Valley Stream, Rockville Centre, Hewlett and Franklin Square.

Scheiner, a former advisor to U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi and now a vice president with Simon Paston & Sons Agency insurance company in Lynbrook, is calling for a comprehensive ethics investigation into the timing and content of the mailers.

“This is not supposed to be a partisan issue,” he said.

“It’s about protecting the trust of the residents who rightly expect that their elected officials operate with the highest integrity and the highest ethical standards.”

Ingrid Izaguirre knows presence matters

By JUAN LASSO jlasso@liherald.com

Strong community engagement is the glue that holds everything together, and Ingrid Izaguirre says it’s fortunate she considers herself a community outreach specialist by trade. The Valley Stream mom brings to the table an intimate knowledge of the various services offered by social service agencies and nonprofits — the type of know-how she believes will make her an effective member of the Hempstead Town Council.

While making a brief stint as a volunteer rookie first responder in the Valley Stream Fire DepartmentRescue 347 — and making an unsuccessful bid for Valley Stream village trustee in 2015 — most of Izaguirre’s efforts have centered around social work and volunteering.

“I work very closely with community-based organizations,” Izaguirre said.

Drawing from her experience in Medicaid managed care, she’s worked closely with Círculo de la Hispanidad in Long Beach, for example, to provide displaced migrants with access to medical coverage.

“I remember that this pregnant woman came to us who had crossed the Rio Grande with her four children from the ages of 2 to 10, and was suffering from a bad ear infection,” Izaguirre said. “With no family or money, I drove her to one of the clinics, paid for her clinic visit, paid for her medication, and took her home.”

Izaguirre has also tag-teamed with Hempstead Caring Hearts, a non-profit specializing in providing housing assistance to vulnerable populations, to help find a stable housing situation for displaced migrants with little financial recourse.

Ingrid Izaguirre wants every community stakeholder at the table to make a difference — something she would champion if she were elected to the Hempstead Town Council.

“This is not part of my normal day job, but as a community leader, you know? This is what we’re supposed to do,” Izaguirre said. “We’re supposed to help the community in whatever way they need, and everybody has different needs.”

Whether it’s referring others to seek support for alcohol and drug addictions, or clothing the homeless during the cold season, Izaguirre has been on the frontline trenches of curbing poverty and discrimination among the most vulnerable.

A Honduran native — and one of seven children — she watched her immigrant parents struggle from fighting to learn English, to lacking the benefits of an American education. That forged a deeply ingrained philosophy of service to those in need.

“It’s sad to me to see someone struggle when I can actually help them, and it takes nothing away from me,” Izaguirre said. “Elected officials should reflect a compassion and care for the community, and help their communities.”

Izaguirre believes tackling longstanding issues like overdevelopment and repairing roads and basic services requires someone to be present and actively listen to concerns.

Safety also is a top priority of Izaguirre’s platform.

Having worked for civilian patrol, she believes in building a coalition with state and federal officials to prevent violence to people and pets, while also increasing policing in high-priority areas.

Even though the district encompasses various communities, in effect, there is “very little sense of community because there is no one to tie them together,” Izaguirre said. “No one to bring them out. No one to say, ‘Hey, you know what? Let’s get together. Let’s get to know your neighbor and help your neighbor.’”

Miller is the voice for all of those in-need

By HERNESTO GALDAMEZ hgaldamez@liherald.com

When you ask Melissa “Missy” Miller about her time as an Assemblywoman, she tends to quote from the Disney movie “Pocahontas.”

“If you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you’ll learn things you never knew, you never knew.”

Miller, a Republican and lifelong Atlantic Beach resident, was appointed to the Hempstead town board last year after five years in the Assembly — a decision influenced by a family medical situation, and Bruce Blakeman leaving the seat after being elected county executive.

“It is no secret, my platform, if you want to call it” that, Miller told reporters during a Herald Roundtable session. That platform? “Be a voice for the most vulnerable people in our area, and our state.”

Before running for the Assembly, she was an advocate for chronic health issues through Compassionate Care New York, a statewide group of patients, providers and organizations advocating for ill patients.

That’s something that hits home for Miller as her son, Oliver, suffered a stroke in utero, and has suffered a lifetime of medical challenges.

Working with legislators, the Compassionate Care Act made New York in 2015 the 23rd state to authorize medical marijuana treatment for patients with lifethreatening illnesses. Miller ran for the Assembly the following year, bringing her experience as a parent of children with special needs to government.

That has continued in her short stint — so far — as a councilwoman.

“Being in the Town of Hempstead has really opened

Melissa Miller seeks her first full term as a member of the Hempstead Town Council — bringing a voice for the most vulnerable people in society, like she did as an Assemblywoman. my eyes,” Miller said. “The number of instances where people need help — I can directly help with that.”

One of her first initiatives as a councilwoman was

expanding accessibility for those who are disabled, ensuring town beaches provided access to the hightide water line with beach rollout mats. And it wasn’t a new initiative — Miller undertook a similar action for Atlantic Beach in 2017 while working in Albany.

In fact, Miller was on the beach once when she recalled seeing a family with an older gentleman walking down the mat with his walker. Tears were coming down his face as she recalled and overheard him telling his family, “I’d never thought I’d be able to get onto the beach again.”

Watching that moment happen right in front of her gave Miller a sense of pride that her job was able to do for others outside her son.

“I was able to give somebody that experience just by providing access” to the beach, she said. “Something for him to be able to get down there.”

Miller takes her personal life experiences into consideration, asking herself how the population of the disabled, chronically ill or an older group benefitted from any action she undertook.

She shares the example of building designs, which at times could leave out these populations who may need a simple curb cut or an accessible ramp to travel in and out.

“Having somebody who lives in this world brings a different optic,” Miller said. “A bit of a different lens.

They can now understand and consider this population when we are coming up with policies for something.”

And that’s a perspective that’s hard for any lawmaker to find otherwise.

“Unless you’re living this, you wouldn’t consider it,” Miller said. “I’ve been able to bring that.”

Ready to take the stage? Teens sure are!

By MARK NOLAN mnolan@liherald.com

Got the itch to act? Want to become a star of stage and screen, but aren’t quite sure where to start?

The Lakeview Public Library will host an Open Mic Night on Oct. 19, at 6 p.m., for aspiring young performers. The idea is to give teens a stage to show their talent in just about any area of the performing arts.

“The goal is to provide students an outlet for their creativity,” library employee Stuart Oates, a 2020 graduate of Malverne High School, said. “It’s catharsis for the feelings. Adolescence can be a difficult time for a young adult. This is a great way for them to express those feelings in a judgment-free environment.”

The Open Mic is open to those ages 13 to 22, but Oates said they allow younger participants as well.

And performers don’t have to live in Lakeview — teens from nearby communities are welcome, Oates said.

In the past, the library has hosted 15 or more performers, and an audience of 50 or more. It’s another way the facility is opening up and expanding opportunities for community members to get involved.

Library Director Camina Raphaël-Lubin said that previous events have included a poetry slam and talent show.

“We encourage kids to be themselves,” RaphaëlLubin said. “Whatever talent they have and want to display, whether it’s dancing or singing, the spoken word, whatever, we let them know they have an outlet

to express themselves.”

Last year, Oates said, a group of 7-year-old girls performed a hit song and drew huge applause from the audience. “They had stayed home and practiced in front of their moms for weeks,” Oates recalled. “They were adorable.”

Oates said he takes pride in seeing children and teens step out of their comfort zones. The reward is watching young people find satisfaction in performing.

“They tell me, ‘It felt good to get out there and challenge myself,’” Oates said of some of the performers.

“We see teens take the initiative, and they’re genuinely interested. We want them to be as authentic as they can. You got to be honest. If it’s how you feel, it’s how you feel.”

Raphaël-Lubin said that the small community of Lakeview supports the performers, and the events are great community celebrations of young talent. “They love the support they get,” she said. “Everyone is cheering each other on. Kids love it, and they really do come out for this. Everyone wants to show their talent.”

The library will offer prizes for the top three performers. And the Molloy University Workforce Development team will be on hand, offering scholarships and information about health care careers.

The library encourages participants to register early, so staff can ensure they have enough equipment for everyone. To register, visit the library, at 1120 Woodfield Road in Rockville Centre, call (516) 536-3071, or go to LakeviewLibrary.org.

Malverne High School students selected banned books for their presentations in the Library Media Center during Banned Books Week.

Malverne H.S. notes Banned Books Week On Oct. 2, Malverne High School students participated in an interactive lesson that shined a light on their favorite childhood books that are currently at risk of being banned at schools and libraries across the United States.

During the presentation led by librarian Jacinta Bowman, the students learned that books including Barbara Park’s “Junie B. Jones” series and classics like “Hansel and Gretel” and “Charlotte’s Web” are under threat. The students each selected a book, researched the motives for the bans and presented to the group their opinion on whether the book ban was warranted and why.

The students expressed disagreement over the bans with many suggesting that the decision on what to read should be left to families and that the books should remain available to those who wish to read them.

Banned Books Week is an annual event sponsored by the American Library Association that celebrates the freedom to seek and to express ideas and draws national attention to the harms of censorship.

Malverne High School librarian Jacinta Bowman leads an engaging and enlightening lesson on censorship and literary freedom to kick off Banned Books Week on Oct. 2.

The school learned that classic books are threatened.

Students said families should be allowed to decide what their children read.

Fall events combine civic pride with a good time

Malverne Fall Festival The Chamber of Commerce’s Fall Festival, on Sunday, is perhaps Malverne’s biggest event of the year. Thousands of people come to enjoy food, games and live music, and to catch up with their neighbors. “It’s good for merchants, good for the town,” Maria Casini, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said. “It really is a positive event.”

The festival, on Church Street, will feature music and dance performances, eight food trucks — including a beer van with taps — and more than 60 vendors offering handmade crafts, jewelry, toys and specialty baked goods. A classic car show, near Connolly Station, will feature dozens of stylish rides. Car lover or not, anyone can appreciate a classic Cadillac — and Casini hinted that there may be a few more this year.

Children, meanwhile, will have a choice of activities. If they’re inspired by all the classic cars, they can try their skills behind the wheel of Wacky Racers — mini ATVs designed specifically for kids, on a closed track. They can also try the rock-climbing wall, or scramble around in one of the many bounce houses.

If they’re feeling a bit overstimulated, parents and kids can head to a nearby session of Playtime at the Parents Lounge. Peaceful Yoga will also offer free demonstrations on the grass, and all are welcome to participate.

“There’s just so much, it really is a great community event,” Casini said. “I think the kids being with so many other children and having that area that’s specifically for them, it’s safe, it’s fun.”

“There’s something for everyone, really — adults and children,” she continued. “They love the live band, they love getting ahead and starting their holiday shopping with all the vendors, they love seeing their neighbors on the street — there’s lots of different foods to eat.”

While thousands of neighbors have fun, Malverne businesses see a burst of activity. That’s the true spirit of the Fall Festival, Casini said — people appreciate their community, and say thank you to the local businesses that are its backbone.

The festival is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, on Church Street. The classic car show is from 11 to 4, in the parking lot next to Connolly Station.

One of the most important aspects of the event is the effect it has on young people. It encourages them to give back to their community, to serve others, and to care for their environment.

“It gives the younger generation a sense of pride in their community,” Ortiz said. “It allows them to be mindful of what they’re doing.”

The civic association partners with Nassau County Legislator Siela Bynoe, Assemblywoman Taylor Darling and other local organizations like the NAACP and Groove Phi Groove, youth sports groups like the Lakeview-Malverne Lions and the Long Island Panthers, and places of worship including St. Paul AME and St. John’s Baptist Church.

The community is scheduled from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, beginning at the Lakeview train station.

Thousands expected for breast cancer walk cshaw@liherald.com

A wave of pink will wash over the South Shore this weekend, bringing awareness to breast cancer.

Jones beach will see thousands walking for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer on Sunday. Hosted by the American Cancer Society and presented by Teachers Federal Credit Union, the walk is anticipated to be one of the biggest in the country, expected to attract more than 60,000 participants, raising more than $2 million.

According to Katie Schafer, executive director for the Long Island region of the non-profit organization.

“It really just brings together all walks of life here on Long Island,” said Katie Schafer, executive director for the cancer society’s local region.

The event, celebrating its 30th anniversary, sees all sorts of participants come together to raise awareness and fund research for breast cancer. Companies, families and cancer survivors all unite to make a difference at Jones Beach, Schafer said, because the disease is all too familiar.

“Everyone you talk to knows somebody who has been diagnosed with breast cancer,” she said.

Joanne Ameruoso is someone who knows all too well. Her grandmother, aunt and mother all died from breast

cancer. The Merrick resident was angry after her mother’s death in 2013 because her mom refused to seek treatment and did not tell her about the disease until a few days before she died.

“My mom passed away from breast cancer because she was afraid of it so much that she chose to ignore it when she discovered it.” Ameruoso said.

K n o w i n g h e r f a m i l y h i s t o r y, Ameruoso sought to get genetic testing.

She was negative for the BRCA gene, which puts women at a much higher risk. But when her doctor told her she was a ticking time bomb due to her family history, Ameruoso took preventive measures.

“I’m not going to be another victim of this breast cancer,” she said.

Ameruoso underwent a double mastectomy in 2016. In the process, she learned she had Lynch syndrome, an inherited genetic disorder that increases risk for several cancers, including stomach, colon, liver, brain, skin and endometrial. Acting early showed Ameruoso how important it is to get screened and research family genetics.

“We have to stay educated,” she said, “because, God forbid, you find out when it’s too late.”

Ameruoso has been an advocate for breast cancer awareness for more than 20 years now. She has participated in breast cancer walks and even wrote a memoir, “Faith Over Fear,” about how

her mom’s fear of breast cancer became her fight. The book — written while she was coping with her mother’s death — aimed to help women overcome the fear associated with cancer.

mmersive art experiences continue to shake up traditional perceptions of “art.” Now Claude Monet, the beloved transformational Impressionist, gets the Van Gogh treatment (which has enticed visitors in various forms since 2021).

“Beyond Monet: The Immersive Experience” gives guests a glimpse into the emotions and perspectives of the leading figure of Impressionism. Created by the same team that brought “Beyond Van Gogh” to Long Island, it’s full of infinite potential for wonder, and sheds new light on what the world thought it knew about Claude Monet.

The experience showcases more than 400 of Monet’s iconic classics, including “Water Lilies,” “Impression, Sunrise” and “Poppies at Argenteuil.”

Hang out with the “The Italian Chicks,” when these three dynamic women arrive at the Landmark stage, Sunday, Oct. 22, 3-5:30 p.m., with their comedy revue. Maryann “Boom Boom” Maisano, Cara Amore and Gianna Messina make up this eclectic trio of multitalented women who draw on the foibles of their Italian-American traditions in their show – a blend of comedy, acting and song. Maisano, the show’s producer and headliner, has described their performance “as part meatball, part cannoli — a passionate comedy with a little drama.” More than simply a “girl’s night out,” this is a celebration of food, family and culture. Whether you’re Italian or not they’ll have you roaring with laughter. You don’t want to miss this hilarious show — filled with an enthusiastic blend of comedy, characters, music, and song parodies that will make you remember things you paid your shrink to forget. When Maisano is on stage, you know it! A singer, songwriter, musician, comedian, writer, and actor, she’s the consummate entertainer. Thus her nickname “Boom Boom” — as she doesn’t know when to slow nominated for a Grammy. She has opened for comedy greats such as Joy Behar and Ray Romano. $39, $29, $19.

On exhibit View the landmark exhibition “Modigliani and the Modern Portrait,” at Nassau County Museum of Art. Devoted to the way that Modigliani powerfully re-defined the art of portraiture, the show includes his masterworks along with paintings and drawings by his Parisian contemporaries (Picasso, van Dongen, Laurencin). Modigliani’s enduring influence on artists even in our own time is shown in a selection of Contemporary paintings by such important figures as David Hockney, Eric Fischl, Elizabeth Peyton and others. The exhibition is being curated by Dr. Kenneth Wayne, founder of The Modigliani Project, which authenticates paintings and drawings (two of the works in the show have been recently approved by the committee). Through Nov. 5.

Health care pros honored at Herald

By PARKER SCHUG pschug@liherald.com

It’s an event that’s not just about recognition, but about celebrating — and giving heartfelt thanks — to those who have been “guardians of Long Islanders’ well-being.”

Those were the words of Amy Amato, executive director of RichnerLive, to kick off the second annual Herald Long Island Excellence in Healthcare Awards.

It was not only cocktail, dinner and dessert, but a night of awards, handed out by ABC-7 investigative reporter Kristin Thorne at The Heritage Club at Bethpage on Sept. 27. A portion of ticket proceeds — as usual with RichnerLive events — went to a local charity. For this event, that recipient was Mental Health Association of Nassau County.

Tara Buonocore-Rut, president and chief executive of CenterLight Healthcare Pace, was among the recipients.

“It’s such an honor, it’s really not an honor for me,” she said. “It’s an honor for my team and all the work that we do to care for the elderly.”

“I feel like I’m almost not in the same league as all of these people,” she said.

Carol Gomes, chief executive and operating officer at Stony Brook Hospital, says health care is not an industry of individuals, but rather of the collective.

“I’m so glad that health care has prominence in the public eye,” she said. “I don’t really consider this really an honor for me, but rather, it’s health care as a team sport.”

Jay Itzkowitz, department chair of emergency medicine for Mount Sinai South Nassau, says his Excellence in Healthcare award is “all about what we can do to help the community and patients,” while Colleen Merlo — chief executive of the Association for Mental Health and Wellness — says awards like this help bring to light issues that might remain in the dark otherwise.

“People are really struggling with their menTim Baker/Herald tal health right now,” Merlo said. “To be able to Cristina Cellucci from Mount Sinai South bring attention to the fact that there are services Nassau, with RichnerLive chief executive available is really important to me.”

A. Continuing from last week, the design of how a building will look is sometimes decided by the building owner, and sometimes the owner lets the architect be artistic in creative and inventive ways. Unfortunately, not all architects are given the opportunity to create as much as they would like to, because either local governments won’t onte eeper allow it or the owner wants something particular.

Some communities have special committees, called boards, to look at the architect’s design and then create parameters for what can be done.

Sometimes this is a good thing, and sometimes the architect doesn’t have any choice but to change the design to something less daring, challenging or artistic. That’s why people travel away from where they live to see special buildings in places where the buildings are thought of as works of art instead of just average.

In some communities, the architect can only use certain materials, so the new building matches the ones around it, and some areas require that the building be raised higher to prevent being flooded.

It’s possible to use the same materials in different ways, but some community governments don’t encourage this. The outside appearance is sometimes very fancy and artful, and the materials chosen may have symbolic meaning, such as the opera house that looks like a series of sails on sailboats next to the harbor in Sydney, Australia, or a power plant with a roof that doubles as a ski slope in Copenhagen, Denmark.

In some places you can see several buildings that stand in an area like works of art in a gallery. If you walk along the Highline in Manhattan, for example, it’s like walking through an art gallery, where you can see many artful and experimental uses of concrete, wood and steel.

Unique buildings, the ones intended to be unusual on purpose, are often much more expensive to build, and that’s another reason why you only see unusual designs in special places, where the cities and towns want to have them. Columbus, Indiana, home to Cummins Engines, is a city that has many unique designs, but only because the local government wants to have their city be a home to special buildings. In some communities, such as Italian towns and cities, the buildings are very old, but are not allowed to be changed on the outside because it would change the character of the places where tourism is their number one means of income.

Say I want to build a skyscraper, Part 2 Q. I’m doing a report for school on how buildings get designed. If you design a skyscraper, what are the things you have to do, and is it different for different kinds of buildings? Like, what do you have to do for a school or a house or a store to figure out what it will look like and how it gets built? My mom helped me with this question, but then we thought you might have more to say about it.

T

he removal of Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House of Representatives, led by perennial malcontent Matt Gaetz, was disgraceful, and will have lasting negative implications for Congress and the nation.

A vote to remove a speaker during his or her term of office is virtually unprecedented.

The last time it was attempted was in 1910, over a century ago, and that vote was unsuccessful.

Speaker Joe Cannon was not removed. In fact, pETER during my 28 years in ConKinG gress, my office was in the Cannon House Office Building, named after Speaker Cannon. History can be its own reward.

The speaker of the House is second in line to succeed the president. He or she heads a powerful arm of government, and is elected by a vote of the entire House. Throughout our history, the tradition has been that the majority party votes at a party conference to select its candidate for speaker, and the minority party does the same. Both candidates are then nominated on the floor of the House. When the full

L

House votes, no matter how close the inter-party vote is, the candidate of the majority party is elected speaker. This reflects the will of the American people to have the House run by someone the majority party has selected.

To remove the speaker — to “vacate the chair” — is such an extraordinary action that it should be based on criminal conduct or serious acts of moral turpitude by the speaker.

It should not be a political decision. Yet that’s exactly what happened last week, when eight far-right Republicans allied themselves with 208 Democrats to remove McCarthy, who had the support of 96 percent of Republicans.

This was strictly a power play by Gaetz and his gang of hostage-takers.

There isn’t one significant issue that these eight outliers have in common with the 208 Democrats and their minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries. This was a defeat for tradition and a victory for Gaetz and his unbridled ambition and lust for national publicity.

Gaetz accused McCarthy of conspiring with Democrats because McCarthy forged a bipartisan coalition with them to keep the government open after the Gaetz crowd refused to support Republican legislation to prevent a shut-

K

down. This was an obvious ploy by Gaetz to set McCarthy up for failure. If McCarthy hadn’t passed bipartisan legislation to keep the government open, Gaetz would have accused him of poor leadership. When the speaker did the responsible thing, Gaetz virtually accused him of collaborating with the enemy. This is the ultimate hypocrisy, because Gaetz gave congressional Democrats power and influence they would not have had otherwise.

I’ve known McCarthy since he was first elected to Congress in 2006. I saw him work his way up through various leadership positions, and have always been impressed by him. Most important, he always kept his word to me. As speaker, he overcame massive political obstacles to get serious legislation through the House.

The reality is that Democrats control the White House and the Senate, while Republicans have a small majority in the House. Keeping that majority together required the skills of a juggler and a magician, plus extraordinary patience. The 221 House Republicans constitute a wide variety of philosophical and geographic views and beliefs. For instance, a Republican from rural Mississippi would have a

evin McCarthy’s removal was strictly a power play by a gang of hostage-takers.

very different agenda from a blue-collar conservative Republican representing suburban Long Island. It was McCarthy’s arduous and unenviable task to find common ground while accommodating these disparate agendas. (Let me commend Long Island Representatives Andrew Garbarino, Anthony D’Esposito and Nick LaLota for always taking their jobs seriously by working with McCarthy to get results for their districts and our region, and not grandstanding or taking cheap shots.)

McCarthy has decided not to run again for speaker. I certainly can’t blame him, though his talents and abilities will be sorely missed. I don’t in any way envy his successor. Not only will he or she have to work with a razor-thin majority, but now that the unwritten tradition of not removing a speaker for personal political aggrandizement has been shattered, the next speaker will also have to operate under the constant threat that a disgruntled minority of the majority might conspire with the minority party to create chaos.

Congress won’t be the same. Thanks for the terrific job, Kevin, and doing what you could to preserve sanity!

Once more, Israel goes to war

ike everyone in our community and all right-minded people in the world, I am horrified by the heinous terrorist attacks that occurred in Israel beginning last weekend. The deliberate, premeditated slaughter of hundreds of civilians, on one of the holy days of the Jewish year, by a genocidal terrorist group is beyond description in words.

We know that in wars fought in civilian areas, civilians are, unfortunately, killed. But to specifically plan for the wholesale, deliberate HoWARD murder of famiBREssLER lies in their homes, concertgoers and others, and the kidnapping of old people, children and women to use as bargaining chips or psychological warfare props boggles the civilized mind — and thrills only the diseased one.

This attack was a terrible blow to Israel and Jews worldwide. It is reminiscent to me of the Yom Kippur War. I was too young to understand what was happening when that war began in October 1973, but I remember the sense of fear that hung over the adults around me, and the nervous prayers led by my kindergarten teachers. That same feeling of desperately needing but not being able to access information, because of the holiday, afflicted me last weekend.

Everyone was adding bits of information they had picked up from newspapers or messages conveyed by neighbors, and the news just kept getting worse. Our enemies had wounded us, and more pain was likely to come. But unlike the war 50 years ago, I do not truly fear for Israel’s survival. She is strong, and if our enemies were looking to capitalize on the disunity that

T

has racked Israel for many months, they may have scored a blow, but they have badly miscalculated, because when the threat comes from without, the core within hardens.

This past Shabbat, Shemini Atzeret, we read Kohelet. And Kohelet instructs us that there is a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to wail and a time to dance. But what happens when those things need to be done at the same time?

Simchat Torah is always a time of rejoicing and dancing, singing and glorifying. But this Simchat Torah was also a time to weep and wail. So our celebrations were tempered and our vigilance heightened, but we did dance. And we did sing. Because to do otherwise would be to allow our enemies to take even more than they already have. And for what they have taken, we will extract a price.

here is a time for war, and a time for peace. One day it will be time for peace.

There is a time to kill, and a time to heal. Unfortunately, we are now forced to do the former, and in the process we are doing the latter.

There is a time to wreck, and a time to build. Now we will wreck the infrastructure and, we hope, the leadership of our enemies, and continue to build our homeland.

There is a time to rend, and a time to mend. We rent our spiritual clothing these past days, and hopefully we are mending our people.

There is a time to love, and a time to hate. We are showing our love to our brothers and sisters, and venting our hatred on those who seek to destroy our brothers and sisters.

There is a time for war, and a time for peace. Now is the time for war.

One day it will be time for peace.

In Israel, war ends politics, diplomacy as usual

H

amas’s Saturday-morning assault on Israel was more than just a shocking demonstration of barbarism. The toll of Israeli dead and wounded — not to mention those kidnapped and taken to the Gaza Strip by these murderers — is sickening. And it should alarm and enrage civilized people everywhere.

The full extent of the horror on the southern border — coupled with a barrage of thousands of rockets and missiles fired at Israeli villages, towns and cities — is yet to be determined. Nor can we be sure what will follow after the first day of what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rightly characterized as a “war.” And whether it will spread to include Iran and its Hezbollah terrorist auxiliaries in Lebanon.

But we do know this: It is an event that changes the Middle East. All the rules that have governed the way Jerusalem deals with its terrorist foes and their Gaza stronghold since it fell under Hamas control in 2006 — in which the Israeli government and military have always sought to limit the conflict — must now be thrown out.

Above all, it must be an end to politics and diplomacy as usual in Israel, the diaspora and the West.

Whatever strategies and tactics that the Jewish state adopts as it seeks to reassert control over its border, rescue those held hostage, and punish those responsible for these crimes, some basic principles must govern the response to these events.

The first is that the Jewish people, and those who care about Israel, must unite.

After a year of political division and a culture war that threaten to tear Israeli society asunder and undermine its economy and security, those arguments must cease — there and elsewhere. The magnitude of this crisis is comparable to that of Israel’s wars in 1948, 1967 and 1973, and so must be the response of those who claim to be Israel’s friends and supporters.

It may be difficult to imagine the current politically fractured, more heavily assimilated Jewish community of the United States, that is far more alienated from Israel than it once was, coming together as it did during those days. But nevertheless, that is the model that the Jewish world and sympathetic non-Jews must follow. It must be clear to the world that when Israel is under attack and Jews are being murdered, the solidarity of the Jewish people and decent people everywhere with Israel must be unquestioned.

Second, there must be no tolerance or acceptance of the usual narratives and biased media coverage of the conflict, which focus more on Israel’s responses than on Palestinian terrorism itself, and which often seek to demonize the Jewish

state’s justified measures of self-defense.

Those who seek to wipe Israel off the map — whether by terrorism or political means — are engaging in a global attack on the Jewish people. The rising tide of antisemitism that is sweeping across the world in recent years is driven in large part by anti-Zionist propaganda. Anything that seeks to legitimize the goals of the terrorists to destroy Israel must be rightly labeled not just as hateful, but as a form of antisemitism that must not be normalized or allowed to be represented as part of mainstream opinion in the West.

If Hamas cared about the safety of the Palestinian Arabs languishing under their tyrannical Islamist rule in Gaza, they would not have started this war. They will, no doubt, continue to use the people under their control as human shields. That is a tragedy, but worries about the suffering of Palestinians caused by Hamas’s actions cannot be allowed to color the responses to efforts to save Israeli hostages and take out the terrorists and their military infrastructure.

The civilized world must fully support Israel’s counterattack. Any talk of proportionality or the need for restraint on the part of Israel as it copes with this assault on its citizens should be rejected.

Such bloody terrorism is not a natural response to Palestinian frustration or an effort — as Hamas falsely asserts — to prevent harm from being done to the mosques on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.

When Hamas talks about ending the “occupation,” it is not speaking about pushing Israel back to the 1967 armistice lines, or complaints about Jews living in the heart of their homeland in Judea and Samaria or Jerusalem. As far as Hamas and other Palestinian groups are concerned, “occupation” refers to the existence of Israel within any boundaries.

Their goal is not freedom for their people. If that was what they wanted, the Islamists, as well as their supposedly more “moderate” opponents, would have accepted any one of the compromise peace offers extended to them in the past. What they want to do is to kill Jews and eliminate the Jewish state.

Sadly, such sentiments are also part of mainstream Palestinian political thought and culture. The shameful scenes in which Palestinians have been shown celebrating terrorism and exulting over the dead bodies of murdered Jews or hostages must not only not be forgotten, conclusions should be drawn about what this means in terms of the future of the conflict and what the goals of diplomacy should be.

Any reporting about this war that doesn’t make that clear isn’t merely biased against Israel, but constitutes an adoption of terrorist talking points that legitimize

their wrongful insistence on continuing their century-old war on Zionism that has become inextricably tied up with Palestinian national identity.

Third, Hamas and its allies must gain no political or diplomatic benefit from their crimes.

The current imperative for American foreign policy, and that of other nations, must be to ensure that this unprovoked and appalling tragedy is not exploited by the forces that have launched this war.

Any discussion in the current context of redoubled efforts to resurrect a two-state solution to the conflict — that Palestinians have repeatedly rejected over the past decades — must end. On the contrary, the existence of the terrorist-run independent Palestinian state in all but name in Gaza is proof that such a plan is a guarantee of more suffering and bloodshed.

Hamas — no doubt acting with the knowledge and support of Iran — seeks to derail the widening circle of peace in which Arab states have embraced normalized relations with Israel. This war is clearly, at least in part, a response to efforts to involve the Palestinians in negotiations between Saudi Arabia and Israel. The Jewish state’s burgeoning alliance with the desert kingdom is the result of rational assessments of the national interests of both Middle Eastern countries and their mutual fears about Tehran’s quest for regional hegemony and a nuclear weapon.

This war is a reminder that the Palestinians must no longer be allowed to hold Arab nations hostage to their intransigent refusal to accept the legitimacy of a Jewish state.

There will be time enough in the days and weeks ahead to fully assess how much responsibility those who have sought to appease both the Palestinian terror organizations and Iran must bear for this tragedy.

The same is true with respect to assigning blame for what can only be termed a catastrophic failure on the part of Israel’s security establishment.

But for now, the priority must be to ensure that Israel’s borders are protected, its people’s safety ensured, and that those responsible for these criminal acts are severely punished and no longer able to launch attacks on the Jewish state with impunity. Any other response from individuals, organizations and their leaders, politicians or governments is unacceptable.

May God watch over the people of Israel and those tasked with their defense. May their efforts be victorious. And may the hateful enemies of the Jewish state be made to understand that their crimes and evil intentions will no longer be tolerated by the civilized world.

opinions

wenty years ago, I became one of the more than 4 million women in America who are breast cancer survivors. As I reflect on this milestone, my heart is brimming with gratitude and a renewed drive to raise awareness about the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in women in the United States.

At age 36, I discovered a lump in my breast as I was traveling with family to St. Kitts for a birthday celebration. As soon as I got home, I scheduled a doctor’s appointment sieLA A. to embark on further exploration.

BYnoe Following a mammogram, a sonogram and a needlestick biopsy, my worst fears were realized — it was breast cancer.

The discovery added a great deal of uncertainty to a particularly active chapter of my life. At the time I was working full-time as the assistant executive director of the North Hempstead Housing Authority, and studying for a master’s in public administration at LIU Post.

Amid this personal adversity, however, my thoughts turned to softening the impact of this news for my friends and

loved ones. When it came time to break the news to my family, I put on my bravest face and told them, “I have a plan in effect, and everything’s going to be all right.” But despite my confident presentation, there were many hurdles.

After I started a course of chemotherapy early in treatment, I was treated for a rare allergic reaction that sent me into anaphylactic shock. Later I was hospitalized with neutropenia, a serious condition in which my neutrophils — a type of white blood cell — dropped to dangerously low levels. As my support circle reassured me that I would rebound, my thoughts turned to the Bible, and Jeremiah 29:11.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” the Lord declares. “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

I soon learned that those plans included a tremendous groundswell of love and support. One of the examples I will always carry with me is the generosity of my family and friends — and my colleagues at the North Hempstead Housing Authority. As a relatively new employee, I had accrued only a small amount of sick leave, and it was being consumed quickly amid my treatment. But Loreen, Dolly,

G

Frann and Susan donated their time off to ensure my continued care and give me some much-needed peace of mind. I will be forever grateful to these women — my friends for life — for their generosity.

After completing chemotherapy and radiation, I finished my master’s, continued my advocacy for affordable housing in 15 years at the helm of the Huntington Housing Authority, served on the Westbury Board of Education, and since 2014 have been blessed with the humbling privilege of representing the residents of Nassau County’s 2nd Legislative District.

All of this was made possible by the love and support of my friends and family, the expertise of outstanding medical professionals, and the practices that led to prompt detection and treatment. For Black women, that is especially crucial. According to the American Cancer Society, we are more likely than white women to develop breast cancer before age 40, as I did. Furthermore, Black women have the highest death rate from breast cancer among any racial or ethnic group. A large factor in that sobering statistic is the fact that one in five of us develop triple-negative breast cancer, which tends to grow and spread faster, has fewer treatment

options, and usually has a worse prognosis.

Given these troubling statistics and the prevalence of this disease on Long Island, advocacy has been a significant part of my life as a survivor. My office will partner with NuHealth to bring the Nassau University Medical Center breast cancer screening van to the Lakeview Public Library, at 1120 Woodfield Road in Rockville Centre, on Oct. 26, and to Magnolia Gardens, at 899 Broadway in Westbury, on Nov. 2.

From 8:15 a.m. to noon on both dates, women over age 40 who have not been screened in more than a year can receive services including a breast exam by a nurse, a mammography, and self-examination instructions like the ones that led me to the discovery of my own breast cancer. Appointments are free for uninsured women based on eligibility guidelines, and you can make an appointment by calling my office, at (516) 571-6202, while supplies last.

If you have not undergone testing in some time, please heed the lessons of my own experiences and avail yourself of this opportunity. I am living proof that abundant life can be on the horizon after a breast cancer diagnosis — but we must take a courageous first step to begin that journey.

three years ago. To the best of my knowledge, it was never completed and made public.

Free will need to meet with and develop a working relationship with the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 New York office. FTA plays a critical role in funding the LIRR capital program. And he must continue leading the LIRR to a state of good repair for the existing fleet, stations, signals, interlockings, track, power, yards and shops.

The FTA, Albany, other funding agen-

cies, commuters, taxpayers, transit advocacy groups and elected officials at the local, county, state and federal levels all wish him success in his new role.

Letters For LIRR’s new interim president, there are new challenges ahead To the Editor: Metropolitan Transportation Authority Chairman Janno Lieber’s appointment of Robert Free, the Long Island Rail Road’s senior vice president of operations, as interim LIRR president last month made sense. There was no way Acting LIRR President Catherine Rinaldi could give her full attention to this critical full-time position. There were never enough hours in the day while Rinaldi was also serving as Metro-North Railroad president.

Promoting from within the LIRR management team makes sense. Rather than wasting time and money on a national search for a new LIRR president, Lieber should promote from within. Besides Free, there are a number of other very capable senior executives, including Executive Vice President Elisa Picca, Senior Chief Engineer Ed McGoldrick, and several others who could easily step in to fill this position full time. They, like Free, already have a good understanding of the LIRR’s organization, staff, operations, facilities and customers needs. Any of them would be able to hit the ground run-

ning with little need for on-the-job training.

There are a number of issues facing management that recent Presidents Phil Eng and Rinaldi did not resolved. They include overtime abuse; out-of-control pensions; fare evasion; periodic cancellation and combining of trains due to signal, power and other problems in the East River tunnels and at Harold Interlocking, Jamaica Station and other locations; and several new union contracts. Some of these have gone on for far too long.

Amtrak will begin repairs to the four East River tunnels in 2024. This will result in the removal of one tunnel at a time from service. With access to only three tunnels, Free will need to develop a new Penn Station service plan. It should keep to a minimum the number of combined and canceled trains during this multiyear construction period.

Free may need to become more familiar with plans for capital projects and programs in coming years. This should include a briefing by MTA headquarters staff assigned to complete the MTA 20252044 Twenty Year Capital Needs Plan. He should also be briefed on the status of previous promised, but unfulfilled, commitments by Eng and Rinaldi. That should include the critical potential for electrification of all diesel territory branches.

This feasibility study began under Eng
