Go to the Succos Fair in Cedarhurst Park

By KEpHERD DANIEl kdaniel@liherald.com

A partnership between a pair of Five Towns organizations that illustrates the benefits of change in the community will once again bring the Succos Fair to Andrew J. Parse Cedarhurst Park Oct. 12 and Oct. 13.

Succos — or Sukkot, depending on whether you use the Sephardic or Ashkenazi word — marks the 40 years that the Jewish people spent in the desert as they made their way to the Promised Land after being freed from slavery in ancient Egypt.

The fair, now in its third year, began in 2019, but had to skip 2020 due to Covid. Community Chest South Shore, a local nonprofit, ran a three-day fair on Columbus Day weekend for 30 years in Cedarhurst Park, and wanted it to be relevant to the community. So Community Chest collaborated with the Marion & Aaron

Gural JCC to operate the fair during Succos, when yeshivas are closed for the holiday and many Jewish people are off from work.

“The community fair was usually over the Columbus Day weekend,” Cal Nathan, Community Chest’s president for the past five years, explained, “but as the community has changed, attendance was waning because many Orthodox people can’t attend on Saturday, so we just thought it was a good idea to transition into the Sukkot fair. We spoke to the Gural JCC about partnering with them, spoke with the village, and were able to secure the dates.”

“It’s something the community looks forward to every year,” Nathan continued, “and we’re honored to partner with the JCC and continue to sponsor family-friendly community events that serve the entire community. We give them roughly $100,000 a year, and part of those funds go to supporting and sponsoring the SukContinued on page 10

More support, clinics aid Lawrence football rebound

By KEpHERD DANIEl kdaniel@liherald.com

Lawrence School District football is no stranger to the highs and lows that every athletic program experiences, and that program, which was a powerhouse just a few years ago, has been in decline in recent seasons.

From 2011 to 2014, the Lawrence High School Golden Tornadoes played in four consecutive Long Island Class III championship games against Suffolk County division champions, and won three straight titles from 2012 to 2014.

But Lawrence’s last appearance in the Long Island championship was a 54-26 loss to Westhampton High School in 2017. So

far this season, the team is 1-3.

The Golden Tornadoes are looking to rebound, however, and that begins with a strong foundation. The school district’s new athletic director is Jason Supple, who was the varsity football coach until July 12, when Pat Palleschi took over, and the junior varsity coach, Frank Manara Sr., and middle school coach, 23-year-old Danny Amaya, are willing to do the heavy lifting that needs to done.

“Due to the lack of a starter program or Pee Wee league, there has been a decline in the knowledge of basic fundamentals in many sports. Football being one of them,” Amaya wrote in an email. “Kids no longer get a head start at learning the rules and

K

ids no longer get a head start at learning the rules and regulations.

Middle school coach regulations.”

Football has taken a backseat in the community since the Inwood Buccaneers Athletic Club went dormant in 2018.

“Since the discontinuation of the program, there has been a lack of interest in football,” said Amaya,

a 2017 Lawrence High graduate who played Buccaneer youth football. “The sense of community and family that (was) generated and thrived from the Inwood Buccaneers was something many families and locals will forever cherish and remember.”

Middle school football was brought back two years ago, and many seventh- and eighth-graders are playing the sport and competing against other teams. The

middle school squad is called the Lions.

Inwood resident Ilyasha Shivers, a graduate of Lawrence High, and Tom Trento, are Amaya’s assistant coaches. “This is the second year I’ve been coaching at the middle school, and it’s just been a struggle and kind of almost like an uphill battle,” Shivers said. “We’re always facing adversity.”

Rason Road proposal is open for IDA study jbessen@liherald.com

On the heels of the community propelling the Town of Hempstead to hold a meeting that generated a six-month building ban in the Business Overlay Transit Oriented Development y district in Inwood and North Lawrence, the town’s Industrial Development Agency is reviewing the possibility of offering tax breaks for the construction of a 138,245-squarefoot, two-story warehouse on an 8.7-acre site at 65 Rason Road in Inwood that formerly housed a sewage treatment plant.

The date of the community held in town hall and the IDA approving what is called a due diligence resolution to open the exploration of tax breaks for the $84 million project was Sept. 20.

The IDA aims to help businesses relocate, build or expand within the town and more often than not uses tax breaks such PILOTS (payment in lieu of taxes) to attract those businesses.

Officials said that the project would generate 75 constructions while the building was being built and create 25 full-time permanent jobs after it is opened. The warehouse would be in a commercial area, near the Nassau Expressway and less than two miles from John F. Kennedy International Airport.

“This proposed project has the potential to boost economic activity in the town by providing a modern warehouse build-

A two-StoRY wAREhouSE, more than 138,000 square feet in size, is targeted for 65 Rason Road in Inwood. ing in an area where such space is in short supply,” Fred Parola, executive director and CEO of the IDA said in a news release. “We are pleased to begin the process of incentivizing the project.”

In the past few years in the Five Towns development proposals have been coming so fast and furious that Vin Diesel could not fend them off. The proposed developments include one at the 110-acre Woodmere Club; a three-story Amazon warehouse on the Nassau-Queens border; 17 approved single family homes on property formerly owned by the Lawrence Woodmere Academy; 212 rental units and 427 parking spaces planned for 25 Wanser

Ave. and 40 Bayview Ave. in Inwood (whose application hearing was also the same day as the moratorium vote); nearly 20 acres of transited-oriented development in Inwood and North Lawrence and the approved Pearsall Project in Cedarhurst that is expected to have three threestory buildings with 98 units.

Lawrence School District Board of Education President Murray Forman, who also serves now on the Nassau County Planning Commission, has taken the IDA to task on two PILOTS they have handed out over the past few years and the school district has sued the town.

The district lost a case last year it ini-

tially brought in 2017 opposing the 10-year PILOT given to the Raymour & Flanagan warehouse on Johnson Road in Lawrence.

In that case and another against another warehouse project, Forman said that the PILOTS could cost the school district millions in revenue through the life of the agreement.

Noting that the school district learned of this proposed warehouse “at the 11th hour,” Forman said this one is better aligned with what should be built in the commercial corridor. “This is a little more in keeping with the core mission of ground up development of a piece of commercial land not being used to its best use,” he said. “It won’t burden the school district directly.”

CenterPoint Inwood LLC, an affiliate of CenterPoint Properties Trust, are proposing the project. CenterPoint Properties Trust is owned by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System and Chicago-based LaSalle Investment Management, considered one of the world’s leading real estate investment managers.

Of the $84 million, $30 million is for purchasing the site.

To receive the IDA benefits, CenterPoint Inwood LLC must file an application with the IDA, submit to further review and a public hearing, and secure final approval. Town site plan approval is also required, a wetlands buffer must be built and all debris on the land needs to be cleaned up.

Offering the health services residents need

By ALYCIA RAwLINS Special to the Herald

Residents of on the Rockaway Peninsula and surrounding communities were able to be screened for serious health conditions and receive infor mation about staying healthy at a cancer awareness event hosted by Population Health’s Mobile Health Unit, St. John’s Medical Group and St. John’s ICARE Foundation that was sponsored by National Grid on Sept. 16.

The St. John’s ICARE Foundation, established in May, aims to develops a philanthropic culture by securing, managing, and distributing gifts in support of Episcopal Health Services and St. John’s Episcopal Health Services. The ICARE Foundation (Innovation, Compassion, Respect, and Empathy) raises awareness and finances for equipment, capital projects, special events and community activities. To launch the new philanthropic arm of St. John’s, a cocktail reception was held at the Rockaway Hotel on Sept. 29.

The foundation has already been at work partnering with the Rockaway YMCA on the sixth annual Community and Back to School Wellness Grab and Go on Aug. 19. More than 600 children received health educations, health screening and school supplies.

The event focused on providing cancer screening tests and cancer prevention information to the community in order to help close the gap of this fatal social determinant of health.

The Administrator for Cancer and Imaging Services at St. John’s Episcopal Hospital, Michael P. Luyckx stated in a

news release, “Outreach events such as this enforce St. John’s mission to provide health care and health education to the people we serve. We want to meet people where they are to provide the preventative care and information they need to build healthier families and healthier communities.”

Staff from the St. John’s Medical Group, Margaret O. Carpenter Women’s Health Center, Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Imaging and Radiology,

and Registered Dieticians provided the information and services. National Grid provided information on smarter, cleaner, and more resilient energy solution projects around the Rockaways.

National Grid an electricity, natural gas, and clean energy delivery firm with networks in New York and Massachusetts serves more than 20 million people.

Through its fossil-free vision, the utility officials said it is committed to paving the way for a more affordable, dependable renewable energy future. To accomplish the objective of lowering greenhouse gas emissions, National Grid is changing its electricity and natural gas networks with more contemporary equipment, officials said.

“We are so grateful and proud to have National Grid as a sponsor for this event, as well as for other events throughout the year,” ICARE Executive Director, Nancy Leghart said. “They truly understand the meaning of community.”

ay what you will about spicy food and heartburn, but that which really keeps us up at night is … worry.

Beyond the need to use the restroom, it’s worry that disturbs our rest and sends us pacing about, chasing the sheep we should be counting.

Though most of us worry about bills or exams or the state of the world or about who likes us and who doesn’t, my Cousin Mo goes beyond the usual and is unique for what (and whom) he worries about.

Mo worries that he hung up too soon and on might have cut the caller off in mid-sentence.

Mo worries that it’s too hot for the gardener, too cold for the mail carrier and too boring for half the world’s students and teachers.

He worries about the printer who used to print the envelopes and deposit slips banks no longer use, as well as the toll collectors replaced by EZPass. When it doesn’t rain he worries about the guy who sells boots, and when it does rain, he worries about the gal who walks to work.

Believing that the big problems get addressed by philanthropists of all sorts, while the small (and numerous) issues must rely on the merely “charitable,” Mo tips the restaurant takeout guy as he would a waiter, and makes certain the garbage bag is not too heavy so the sanitation crew won’t hurt their backs.

Mo worries not just about the bullied but about the bully who’s been bullied, and about the legions of unappreciated who never hear a thank you.

B

ack in the day, Mo worried if you had dimes for the pay phone, if you had enough cash and if you had directions.

He worries that LIRR rider may not watch the gap or may not say something even though they see something.

Mo checks in on the bereaved even after their formal period of bereavement ends, and sends “you’re welcome” cards as well as “stay well” cards.

Mo worries that you’ll miss your flight or be late for an appointment or say the wrong thing. He worries if you’re prepared for the test or interview, and if the car has fuel.

Back in the day, Mo worried if you had dimes for the pay phone, if you had oldman enough cash and if you had directions; now he worries if your cell phone is fully charged, if you brought your ATM card and if your WAZE is set. (Though he still worries whether you’re too tired or too overworked or if you’re (truly) happy).

Told “there’s nothing to worry about,” Mo responds that there’s always something (or someone) to “worry about,” when the “worry” is motivated not by anxiety or nervousness, but rather by concern, interest and love.

Nevertheless, watching Mo worry about so much and so many, often has us worrying about him, to which he always answers, “rather than worry about me, how about you worry with me and then we will all have less to worry about.”

And that’s why we love him … worry warts and all.

South Shore Estuary Reserve Act is updated

By MICHAEL MALASZCZYK 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.”

For the first time in more than two decades, John Palladino and David Yaker found themselves on opposite sidelines at a Nassau County high school football game.

Last Friday night, Yaker, Lynbrook’s first-year head coach, returned to Hewlett and guided the Owls to a 15-0 victory over the Bulldogs in a Conference III matchup.

Senior quarterback Michael Fagen and senior running back Daniel Barroso had rushing touchdowns and linebackers Tyler Denker (14) and Craig Leczczak combined for 27 tackles to lead a stellar defensive effort.

“It was a game we needed and wanted,” said Yaker, who spent the past 5 years as Hewlett’s offensive coordinator under Palladino and previously worked alongside him at Lawrence. “I’m really proud of our kids,” he added. “We installed new offenses and defenses, and the kids have really bought in and are working hard.”

All of the scoring came in the first half.

Barroso had a 1-yard touchdown plunge in the opening quarter and Fagen tacked on the 2-point conversion run for an 8-0 lead.

Fagen, who rushed for 182 yards, added a 6-yard score in the second quarter as Lynbrook evened its record at 2-2. Hewlett remains in search of its first win.

“All the credit goes to them,” Palladino said.

“It was weird coaching against Dave, but it felt more awkward in May and June and August getting ready for a season without him around,” he added. “We’re both professionals and close friends. Both teams played really hard and they beat us.”

The Bulldogs, who are down four starters due to injury, were held to 12 yards of offense in the first half. A few solid secondhalf drives stalled on downs. Jake Lunati, Ramon Calderon and Max Dantona all had sacks for the Owls, who visit Floral Park this Saturday for a 2 p.m. kickoff.

“Every game in Conference III is a battle,” Yaker said. “All of the coaches are really good and the kids are tough.”

Midway through the season, Fagen has proven to be as dynamic as anyone in the conference. He has 657 yards rushing and 7

“He’s a machine,” Yaker said of Fagen.

“I’ve been so impressed by him. He’s a converted slot receiver, which makes what he’s doing that much more impressive.”

Paving the way for Fagen up front are seniors Lunati, Thomas Byrne, Michael O’Hagan and Ralph Caputo, and junior John Difiore.

Hewlett’s offense has lacked continuity, Palladino explained, but could get starting running back Mekhi Jean-Baptiste, a

junior, back at 100 percent this Saturday at Valley Stream North.

“I don’t want to make excuses,” Palladino said. “We didn’t start the season healthy and we’re doing the best we can with eight starters playing both ways.

We’ll continue to work to get better starting with Valley Stream North.”

Senior John Cusumano leads the Bulldogs at quarterback. He’s a first-year starter. “He’s playing so hard and really taken ownership of the offense,” Palladino said.

“Feedback has been tremendous,’” said Stacey Feldman, the JCC’s executive director. “Last year we had 4,000 people attend over the two days. It was a great suggestion from the Community Chest South Shore to move the festival to during the holiday of Sukkot.”

The 90-year-old Community Chest is the oldest civic charitable organization in the Five Towns. Initially a division of the United Way it was previously known as Five Towns Community Chest, and rebranded Community Chest South Shore six years ago to expand its philanthropic efforts to surrounding communities. It offers financial assistance to several Five Towns institutions and organizations.

The JCC was spawned from the Five Towns Young Men’s–Young Women’s Hebrew Association. The organization eventually became the JCC of the Greater Five Towns and then, in 2015, the Marion & Aaron Gural JCC. Offering a variety of programs and services, the JCC operates out of a building on Grove Avenue in Cedarhurst and the Harrison-Kerr Family Campus in Lawrence.

This year Succos Fair festivities include familyfriendly entertainment, kosher food vendors, concerts, rides, games and a petting zoo. It will take place next Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Wednesday will feature a performance by musician Benny Friedman, and Eli Marcus will perform on Thursday.

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.”

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,

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.

Saturday, Oct. 8, 8 p.m. $35, $30, $25. Jeanne Rimsky Theater at Landmark on Main Street, 232 Main St., Port Washington. (516) 767-6444 or LandmarkOnMainStreet.org.

Give Our Regards To Broadway The hit series returns to the Madison stage with a salute to the great Stephen Sondheim.

Featuring Broadway stars and Molloy University’s CAP21 Studio Company, the entertaining revue puts a new spin on those great hits from beloved awardwinning musicals including ‘Into the Woods,’ ‘West Side Story’ and more. With narration by Madison Theatre artistic director Angelo Fraboni, the fast-paced show guides the audience through the musical explosions of Sondheim with anecdotes on how these great musicals made it to the forefront of our popular culture, interspersed throughout.

Going clubbing, sports season heats up

S

tudents at Hewlett High School are beginning to settle into the new school year. With clubs and sports in full swing, there are many activities for students to take part in!

On Sept. 23, Hewlett High’s Club Fair was held. The Club Fair is a vital opportunity for students to learn about and sign up for the many clubs offered at school.

Over 25 clubs were represented at the fair, including Yearbook Club, Foreign Language Honor Society, Spectrum newspaper, Student Council, among others.

Booths were set up all across the gym

with engaging activities like quick-fire debates and robot demos. Students traveled from station to station, receiving flyers and information about each club, with the opportunity to sign up if it was an activity they wanted to pursue further.

Although the event is usually targeted towards incoming freshmen, it was a major success among sophomores, juniors and seniors as well.

The fair hadn’t run for the past two years due to Covid-19 limitations, so it was still quite influential for returning students who finally received the opportunity to explore new activities. The Club

Seven scholarships will be awarded to seven students — one each from Franklin Early Childhood Center, Hewlett and Ogden elementary schools and Woodmere Middle School, two from Hewlett High and one private school student who lives in the school district.

To earn the scholarship in the younger grades, recipients are conspicuously helpful and kind, such as welcoming students new to the school. In the older grades, students take part in community organizations or service clubs.

Ocean Financial Federal Credit Union didn’t have to look too far for its new board of directors chair, appointing Lisa McGuinness of Oceanside as the first woman to hold that position.

She graduated from Sacred Heart Lisa McGuinness A c a d e m y, a n d earned her bachelor’s degree at SUNY Geneseo. McGuinness started at Dime Savings Bank, helping to program the first ATMs. She was later an executive for companies like Estée Lauder, Avon and Cole Haan.

Lindsay becomes VP at Northwell She was one of the first Americans to be vaccinated against the virus that causes Covid-19, and even received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

But now Sandra Lindsay has a new role — vice president of public health advocacy for Northwell Health.

Lindsay spent 29 years in nursing, most recently as director of nursing and critical care at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park.

She also led the front lines during the pandemic, not just during the first wave beginn i n g i n M a rch 2020, but by also volunteering to be the first in-line to Sandra Lindsay get the Pfizer vaccine on Dec. 14, 2020.

As a woman of color — and a proud Jamaican immigrant — Lindsay inspired communities of color and those in the Caribbean community to trust the vaccine. Her ID badge and scrubs now reside at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

Lindsay immigrated in 1986, and graduated from Manhattan Community College in 1993 as valedictorian of her nursing program. She later earned her bachelor’s from St. Joseph’s University in Patchogue, a master’s degree from Lehman College in the Bronx, and an MBA from Hofstra University.

Lindsay joined Lenox Hill Hospital soon after as an oncology nurse, before moving to LIJ.

NASSAU HERALD — October 6, 2022

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.

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

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.
