Hewlett High alum and her coach run NYC Marathon Passionate and with a positive attitude, Elissa Candiotti completes fifth 26-mile race ROC, LYN , MAL, FRA, BAL

By PARKER SCHUG pschug@liherald.com

The running jour ney of Hewlett resident Elissa Candiotti and Garrett Chapman came full circle at the TCS New York City Marathon on Nov. 5.

Candiotti, 27, g raduated from Hewlett High School in 2014 after four years on the track team, which was coached

by Chapman.

“I had a great time there,” recalled Candiotti, who went on to become a producer at CBS after studying at Syracuse University.

“I wasn’t your number one finisher; I wasn’t your last. I was just a middle-of-the-pack kind of girl. I was very proud of my times. Scholarship-worthy, no, but I loved what I did. I

absolutely loved the team and the coaches.”

Chapman was an assistant cross-country and track coach at the high school from 2008 to 2015.

“Elissa was great,” he said.

“She was really passionate about the sport — she always had a positive attitude about her. I think her passion for the sport has remained consistent, November 23, 2023

maybe even grown, too.”

Chapman entered the lottery for the five-borough, 26.2-mile race for 10 straight years, and was selected for the first time this year. It was the fifth New York City Marathon for Candiotti and her older brother, Josh.

The pair first raced together in upstate New York more than five years ago, when she asked

him to enter a half marathon, 13.1 miles. Josh, 30, of Lynbrook, hadn’t run much, but started training to compete with his younger sister.

“I kind of caught an interest in that active lifestyle,” he said.

He has since finished a number of races, and paced his sister around the five boroughs CoNtINued oN page 18

Inspired by an old American tradition and song, Lewis Stark of Hewlett has tied a white ribbon on his tree to honor his neighbor and friend Avi fighting in the Israel-Hamas war.

Towns has the greatest number of lone soldiers than any in the U.S. Now roughly 5,600 miles away from home, Avi and Starks have maintained in contact through social media.

Avi is aware of the sign of support from his neighbor, thanking him for his support and lending support to his wife, which gives him peace, Starks said. The ribbons have also gained the support of members in the community when Starks shared what he did on a Hewlett-Woodmere Facebook group page.

“We are all praying for him!” Hadassah Geisinsky wrote. “I hope the family feels the solidarity of our community with Avi!” How is the soldier doing?

“He’s been doing well,” Starks said.

“But it’s just unfortunate that there’s just so much hatred in the world, especially towards Jews and it’s just disappointed that we all can’t get along and live life in peace.”

Lending a hand at LWA’s ‘Helping Hand Club’

By HERNESTO GALDAMEZ hgaldamez@liherald.com

At Lawrence Woodmere Academy’s upper school, the Helping Hands Club, driven by students from ninth to 12th grade embodies the school motto of “Veritas, Integritas, Servitium (Truth, Honor, Service). Led by Director of Development Nadia Kalyan, the group is on a mission to make a difference in the LWA community and beyond.

Before Covid-19, the club was in existence but in the style of an ambassadorship, Kalyan said, serving as welcoming committee for new students or prospective families, but that has changed this school year.

“We as an administration have come together this year and have taken a look

2. Shoes collected will help microentrepreneurs in developing nations, finding their path out to poverty. The shoes become inventory for micro-entrepreneurs to sell in their local communities.

at how can we use the clubs as a way to focus on the things that we as a school feel are important from a value standpoint,” Kalyan said. “As well as speak to the things our students are interested in.”

“Helping Hands could reform as a very service-oriented organization within the school, but also still do the things it historically has helped to do,” she added.

Throughout the end of the 2024 academic year, events will be added to offer students the opportunity to serve their community and beyond it.

Kicking things off in September, students started the school year with the firstever LWA Day of Service, having the LWA community of students, parents, faculty, board members and family bring love to the school building by cleaning, painting and organizing various parts of the school.

Although the school is home to many students in Nassau County, the history of the school has a student body coming from parts of Queens and with students coming as far away as China, South Korea and Israel.

When the terrorist group Hamas attacked Israel in October, members of the club became aware of what was happening in the Mideast and wanted to help in any way they could.

“LWA historically has had many students come from Israel,” Kalyan said. “So we know some students that are there that have graduated from LWA and gone through our doors, so our students felt very compelled to mobilize and try to help.”

That month, students across the school joined the “Dress Down Sponsorship,” which helped pitch in for the International Committee of the Red Cross, a humanitarian aid organization that helps people affected by conflict and armed violence.

From Oct. 23 to 27, students donated $10 per day or $45 for the week to not wear

Now through November, the club is holding a shoe drive in partnership with Funds2Orgs, a social enterprise that partners with nonprofits, schools, churches and others to help plan and implement shoe drive fundraising campaigns.

So far, the response has been overwhelming, Kalyan said, raising over 560 pairs of shoes ahead of the holiday sea-

son, with school parents who have businesses in the area doing their part to help by setting up boxes in their stores to collect shoes.

‘That is what Helping Hands was designed to do,” she said. “To connect us all with a greater community both locally and in the school, so it is a beautiful thing to see the response.”

Shoes are then collected by the organization and can affect families and individuals living in developing countries who are seeking to become more advanced economically and socially.

“It feels amazing,” said Christopher Walker, a senior at LWA. “Knowing that I am fortunate enough to bring people together and pitch in to a cause for people in need. I feel like I am impacting my community to change people’s lives.”

“Through Nadia’s work and support of some LWA senior volunteers, over 500 pairs of shoes were donated to the program,” said Hank Williams, the school’s headmaster. “LWA continues to honor the school’s motto of Veritas, Integritas and Servitium by demonstrating the highest levels of service in every activity presented.”

“I am grateful to be part of such an amazing community of LWA Tigers,” he added.

Walker said Kalyan has been a great role model for him and club members.

“Nadia has been a great guide for us,” he said. “Showing us how we can make these events very engaging, fun and staying on tract on bringing us together to find the best way to help our community.

“Look out for us, we are going to keep brainstorming a lot more events and branch out to help our community in every single way possible,” he added.

Gratitude has to do with appreciation.

Appreciation means to add value to. Things that appreciate tend to grow, just as being grateful for something or someone raises its or their value in our estimation. Even though, at any given time, countless more things are going right than going wrong in most of our lives, too many of us focus more on what’s going wrong and take for granted what’s going right — our health, our loved ones, our resources.

“Gratitude interventions” is the term used for cultivating the attitude of gratitude in our lives. The father of positive psychology, Martin E. P. Seligman, suggests an exercise called “Three Good Things” whereby at the end of the day you write down three good things that happened to you and why. The “why” is very important.

An app called “Gratitude Plus” allows you to (1) share gratitude with your favorite people (2) easily reflect on the good in your life (3) create groups with friends and family (4) hear from people around the world (5)

As to the latter, your writer has found reading daily affirmations to be an invaluable resource for maintaining a positive mindset. The great motivational speaker Zig Ziglar notably said that “People say that motivation doesn’t last. Neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily”.

Daily positive affirmations may be found by googling “daily affirmations” and choosing one of the free services that appeals to you.

INTRODUCING THE ARTWORK OF

IDF. This group was formed in 2020 with the goal of supporting IDF soldiers through food. During the weeks after Oct. 7, Grilling for Israel has given food to thousands of soldiers every week.

“Despite the challenges, we successfully provided nourishment to thousands of soldiers across Israel each week, a testament to the groundwork laid over the last three years,” the Grilling for Israel team wrote on its website.

Michael Rosenberg, Boxer’s former neighbor and a Queens native, now lives in Israel and is involved with the Grilling for Israel organization. One of his favorite parts is chatting with the soldiers and humanizing them, he said.

“A lot of the soldiers I interact with are reservists,” Rosenberg said. “There’s so many people that have regular jobs.”

Boxer has also provided supplies to soldiers and displaced citizens, including 20 duffel bags full of clothing. He spent a day distributing five duffel bags from Mod Shop in Cedarhurst to Israeli families.

Much of Boxer’s focus has been in the Judea and Samaria areas, working with the American Friends of Judea and Samaria organizations. Their focus is primarily on increasing awareness about these areas and now running an emergency tactical gear campaign to provide Israeli soldiers with everything necessary. , Boxer has a return flight home booked for Nov. 22 but he hopes to go back to Israel around Hanukkah with toys for children.

“A lot of these kids that have gone through such trauma and such evil, I want to bring some happiness to them,” he said.

Always a man about town from the Five Towns to New York City and Israel, Hewlett resident Gabriel Boxer was in the Jewish state on Oct. 7 when the Hamas attack occurred and has returned since to help.

“Being here and experiencing what the country was going through, our fellow people,” Boxer said of Israeli citizens.

“Going back to New York and hearing what they were experiencing, I had to go back to help.”

He created his own organization, Kosher Response in 2020 to help people at the height of the pandemic. The group worked to deliver food to health care workers on the front lines of battling Covid. Boxer has also established a social media presence with his handle, Kosher Guru serving as a kosher food and service consultant. Through both platforms he is calling upon donations to aid Israel.

How to make a turkey

Michael Guida

Taylor Scott

age 5, North Bellmore

age 4, Inwood

You have to try to hunt it down! But, we buy our turkey from Stop & Shop. We put it in a drawer where you can open it — an oven! It gets hot and makes it so it’s yummy. Then you take it out and put it in a big bowl and eat it for Thanksgiving! My dad slices it in big pieces and gives it to everyone. (While waiting for the turkey,) I watch TV and play Spider-Man outside. I eat the turkey with mashed potatoes, and I wanna say pasta? We can’t leave the leftovers for next Thanksgiving so we have to throw it out. We can’t leave it in the fridge forever.

We make cookie turkeys in the oven. We roll the dough out and make turkey shapes. It tastes like turkey, not a cookie — but it’s a turkey cookie! Me and my mommy eat the turkey. We put it in milk and we eat it. I put (the leftovers) on a tray outside. Then, the raccoons get the turkey cookies so they can have Thanksgiving, too!

Miles Leoniuk & Benjamin Leoniuk Lucy Ghiuro age 4, Oceanside You put it in the oven. You put the stuffing in. It changes color because it gets cooked. Then you put a stick in it. It takes five hours. I watch the Thanksgiving Day parade. Then, we cut the turkey. Mom takes it out of the oven. I take the whole thing out and eat it. It’s just for me (laughs). I eat it with mashed potatoes and seasoning. I don’t even like turkey that much. We make turkey soup the next day.

age 6, Glen Head

Catrina Lakharam age 4, Inwood We flip it! I put sprinkles and toppings and hearts for my daddy’s birthday. It’s on Thanksgiving! We put candy on when it’s my dad’s birthday. He has two birthdays left!

Sometimes he has more birthdays, and sometimes he has no birthdays.

We have pasta with the turkey. I make it by myself. I love to cook. I flip it like this (jumps) and then I say ‘I catched it, Mommy!’ I catch the meat in my hands! It gets cooked with the pan. The turkey goes to a secret place: the oven. Then I flip it again and say ‘hoop loop.’ It’s magic! I have a secret: I was making a pancake. I just pretended that I could make a sprinkle pancake. Me and my mommy and daddy and sister eat turkey on Thanksgiving. I flip the leftovers and they disappear. It’s crazy!

Miles: You put it in the oven and put pepper on it. And put veggies inside his body because it’s tasty. Nonna cooks the turkey. Then you bake it again so it gets crispy! You put it on a dish, cut it up, and eat it. Daddy usually cuts it. Luna, the dog, eats the most turkey. I feed her the turkey.

Benjamin: You go to the store to get the turkey. They get it from the people who kill it. Then you put your face in it! (laughs). Then, I go to Nonna’s house and eat turkey and artichokes.

NCC unveils $31M STEM-dedicated facility First of many planned renovations across Garden City campus

By NICOLE FORMISANO nformisano@liherald.com

With the unveiling of its new building dedicated to science, technology, engineering and mathematics, Nassau Community College has taken another step toward solidifying itself as one of the premier schools in the SUNY system.

Its $31 million transformation of “Cluster C” was celebrated last week with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by nearly 100 people in the courtyard in front of the remodeled structure.

“What you have done in this particular building was transformative,” Nassau County Legislator Arnold Drucker, a former member of the college’s board of trustees, told attendees. “It’s enduring. It’s going to last a lifetime.”

The new facility includes laboratories, a planetarium, outdoor classrooms, and an observatory with telescopes. The high-tech building also features climatefriendly green roofs, solar panels, and a mini-wind turbine for environmental and climate studies.

“This momentous occasion not only represents the physical expansion of our institutions,” said Genette AlvarezOrtiz, acting academic affairs vice president at NCC, “but also stands as a testament for our commitment to nurturing

Nassau Community College administration and supporters — including Nassau County Legislator Arnold Drucker, chief administrative officer Maria Conzatti, board of trustees chair Jorgé Gardyn, and acting academic affairs vice president Genette Alvarez-Ortiz, celebrated the transformation of Cluster C into a high-tech academic STEM building. The project has been in the works since 2018. the brilliant minds of our students, fostering a culture of excellence and scientific exploration and discovery.”

The transformed building serves to replicate the modern workforce that students will graduate into — a workforce that is hybrid, technology-driven, and focused on solving modern-day problems.

“To have a STEM building that has state-of-the-art technology, the students are experiencing firsthand what they’re going to expect when they leave here,” Alvarez-Ortiz said. “And that’s what I’m so excited about. They can see it for themselves. They experience it for themselves. They can apply. They can practice.

“It’s just changing that environment.”

Nearly all students will find themselves in the three-story Cluster C at some point or another — and some seemed impressed with the changes.

“There’s a big difference,” said Harvey Weiner, who takes a physics class in Cluster C. “It’s just more modernized.”

Originally constructed in the 1970s, renovations of Cluster C began in 2018 before being interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. Construction resumed later on, and the facility officially celebrated its opening this month.

“Many of the most pressing global challenges — such as public health crises, climate change and energy sustainability — require solutions rooted in STEM disciplines,” said Jorgé Gardyn, chair of the college’s board of trustees.

“This state-of-the-art facility will provide our college students with invaluable hands-on experience.”

Half of the $31 million that funded Cluster C’s construction was provided by the college, with the other half being supplied by the state.

It’s expected to serve as a prototype for the other projects across campus also in the works.

“You are witnessing,” Gardyn said, “the first in the transformation of Nassau Community College.”

A part of 300,000 voices standing strong

By Sara Matathias Special to the Herald

I don’t know if there has even been a day in my life that I have been more proud of being a Jew than today. My attendance at the March for Israel Rally in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 14 was an experience that will remain indelibly etched in my memory forever.

Alongside thousands of individuals (roughly 300,000 attended) who gathered in solidarity, we showed our support for Israel, called for the release of hostages, and combated the rampant antisemitism pervading college campuses and society at large. It was a day that not only showcased the power of unity and support but also demonstrated the unwavering determination of a community fighting for their beliefs.

I made the decision to attend the rally as a call-to-action, despite the concerns and doubts that lingered in my mind due to voices around me pointing out all the potential precarious scenarios that could arise. As a mother contemplating college universities for my daughter, the escalating intensity of antisemitism on campus had me pondering the urgency of standing-up against hate and prejudice.

Indeed, the recent surge in violence against Jews underlined the importance of taking a stance. While some might have deemed it “responsible and safe” to stay at home, given my role as sole parent caring for two school-aged children, I felt a deep sense of responsibility to illustrate to my children the significance of standing tall and proud as Jews, even in the face of fear.

The journey to the rally site itself was a testimony to the unparalleled spirit of camaraderie and solidarity. As our bus traveled down the highway, I was immediately truck by the sea of buses and cars surrounding us adorned with Israeli flags. There was a sense of belonging, and it felt as if I was part of an exclusive club all heading towards a momentous encounter. The sheer number of busses

Nearly 300,000 people attended the gathering on the National Mall to show their support for Israel. and people was awe-inspiring, yet there was an air of serenity and purpose.

Upon entering metro D.C., despite being surrounded by thousands of eager people, all vying for a spot on the train, there was no pushing or shoving; everyone understood the gravity of the occasion. Once on board, I noticed a rabbi guiding a young gentleman who was using tefillin for the first time. We all burst out singing, celebrating the milestone, as only Jews know how to do.

Stepping off the train and joining others, I took a deep breath as I was enveloped by a sense of tranquility. It was as though I had arrived on an island, amongst 300,000 like-minded friends who shared the same passion and determina-

tion. It was a safe space where we could all be ourselves — cry, laugh, sing, and dance without reservation, with the knowledge that the entire gathering was supporting the cause.

The rally was meticulously organized, pristine, and secure and I felt a true sense of safety — a feeling not felt since Oct. 6.

As the crowd swayed to the beat of talented musicians and received messages of solidarity from notable politicians and personalities, it was abundantly clear that this was a rally of hope, love and faith.

The anti-Israel rallies that have gripped this nation and others were nowhere in sight. Instead, people proudly waved U.S. and Israeli flags and unabashedly voiced their support for the cause.

However, the most poignant experience was hearing from the families of the hostages talking about their loved ones still held in captivity — 48 days and counting.

In between the families speaking, we burst out chanting “bring them home!” It was our rally cry, our fervent prayer for their safe return, said in such a way as if we could somehow will them to be returned home — NOW. Their pain was palpable.

As a daughter and granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, my attendance at the rally affirmed my family’s legacy of resilience and strength. Standing up for what is right, regardless of the circumstance, was never in question. On my mother’s 73rd birthday, I stood with my fellow supporters in solidarity with Israel and my family.

The experience provided an opportunity to reconnect with my roots, allowing me to carry forward my family’s legacy and honor my ancestors’ sacrifices.

As I was on the first to step on the bus stairs, I paused a moment taking note of my surroundings: men surrounding the bus praying. It was truly a beautiful sight

My departure from the rally was marked by profound reflection and newfound perspective. Every individual voice matters, and by standing together united as a people, we have the capacity to evoke change. We must find our unique ways never to remain silent when faced with injustice. As we continue to stand strong, it is crucial to remain persistent, vocal, and determined to bring honor, respect, and glory to Hashem’s name through our actions and words.

Showing an unwavering commitment to Israel Special to the Herald

A summer trip as a teenager began a lifelong connection to Israel and her people. I had the opportunity to strengthen my Hebrew language skills, shape my Jewish identity, and forge strong connections with family that have grown and deepened over the years.

I’m now a proud mother of a daughter who is a newly minted immigrant to Israel. Attending the March for Israel rally on Nov. 14 was a deeply personal experience for me and to express my commitment, both personally and professionally, to stand in solidarity with the people of Israel during these challenging times.

I felt strongly that I needed to be there, that there was nothing more important for me to do that day than my part to stand up and be counted in support of Israel. While en route, a friend in D.C. texted me and reported that “people are flooding in toward the Capitol!” which energized me and some of the others on the bus.

On their way to the March for Israel were Tamar, left, Simon, Maya and Matthew Barbash of Hewlett. arriving at the National Mall, I was thrilled to see signs from communities around the U.S.A., and the solidarity

among people of all ages who share this love and commitment.

It’s terribly depressing to read about

the massacre, the injured and the displaced and feel helpless. In my role as a representative of the Yad Sarah organization in the U.S.A., Oct. 7 had given me a mandate to help those in Israel facing urgent needs.

Donors supporting Yad Sarah ensured that volunteers on the ground had the necessary resources to aid others. It’s a great partnership. Since people know Yad Sarah as an organization that relies on volunteers, we have fielded several inquiries from people who want to go to Israel and are willing to do anything. On a personal level, I’ve been so encouraged by the outpouring of support and advocacy; this was a concrete step toward making a real difference.

The remarks from the families of the hostages were deeply affecting and the pain was palpable. I think about these hostages every day. I hope that my presence among thousands of others – and our advocacy – was a virtual hug for these families who are profoundly hurting. The desire to do more was overwhelming, but in that moment, being present, advocating, and standing united with thousands of others was a testament to the unwavering commitment to Israel and its people.

Feeling a sense of belonging and honor

By ALEX LUBARSKY

Special to the Herald

Some 300,000 Jewish people and those who stand against the barbaric murder of innocent civilians, descended on our nation’s capital on Nov. 14. Although on the long bus ride from Long Island I braced myself for any possibility … what I discovered was as surprising as it was banal.

Having grown up in the USSR, I never liked Jewish people, because to me til the age of 10 it meant every antisemitic trope you can imagine hurled in my direction.

My parents, who were raised by the Soviet regime were themselves atheists, and tried to assimilate as best they could into a system that stamped JEW on their passport and were on the receiving end of that unfortunate circumstance. So, they could offer no support or counter argument to my Jewish question, of what does it mean being that exactly?

When we immigrated to the U.S. in 1979 my parents made a valiant effort to introduce my younger brother and I to the faith that was summarily painted over with communism and secularism, and a fantasy eutopia that never was. But although I attended services, listened to rebbes, tried not to eat pork, and went through the motions, I never really felt like I belonged to this mysterious and exclusive group.

Standing among that huge crowd at the National Mall in Washington D.C., I noticed that there was no violence, no one yelled or attacked anyone, either verbally or physically. Everyone was cordial, helpful, and polite. Young men were inviting me to pray with them on numerous occasions, ladies offered free Shabbat candles

Woodmere residents Alina and Alex Lubarsky, and Victoria Firdman, right, at the March for Israel on Nov. 14. to my beautiful partners pictured by my side. People were singing and chanting the chant of hope “Bring Them Home” and everyone smiled at each other as if we were there for a family reunion initiated through Ancestry.com.

There were many police officers, some in tactical gear and with automatic weapons, strategically positioned throughout the city. When one officer keeping the peace was asked about his experience

with this protest, he said that he received more thanks and appreciation on this day than he did in his entire career.

All the speakers, even the moms, and family of the murdered and abducted, spoke about love and gratitude. Pastor John Hagee beautifully affirmed his commitment to the land of Israel and its people as many in the crowd waved “Christians stand with Israel” signs. On numerous occasions, my heart was touched, and

I felt a pride and camaraderie that I can only compare to witnessing my children grow up and become the amazing human beings they are.

And I know it can be confusing for some people, when savages enter a peaceful village, and then proceed to systematically carry out the kind of dark age barbarity we in the civilized world have forgotten possible. And then after a moment of shocked silence the Jewish nation responds to eradicate the group that purported to want normalized relations, while at the same time investing all their time and treasure bringing to life their dream of the annihilation of their sworn enemy from the river to the sea.

Then, hiding behind their own citizens and their children as they crawl through underground tunnels, coming out just long enough to launch more rockets at their democratic and peaceful neighbors.

It seems that the world is purposely unsure who are the righteous allies and who is the axis of evil in this particular scenario. But you know what they say; one can’t taste the truth when they’re choking on a lie.

I was honored to be a part of this historic event and felt, perhaps like never before, that I belonged to this ancient people.

The one thing that stands out, among many, is a man in a suit and kippah bending down and spontaneously picking up litter nearby. Made me think that these misunderstood people are the natural stewards of this world, and wherever they go it’s their innate desire to try and make it better.

Am Yisrael Chai!

ome aboard! The life and times of artist pair Arthur Dove and Helen Torr are the focus of Heckscher Museum’s newest exhibit,“Salt Life: Arthur Dove and Helen Torr.”

Before setting down in their Centerport cottage, the couple lived on a sailboat — the Mona — in and around the North Shore during the 1920s and 1930s. Captivated by the nature around them, Torr and Dove channeled their fascination into their modernist style.

When Dove and Torr sailed into Huntington Harbor in July 1924 aboard their 42-foot yawl, they could not have anticipated the extent to which Long Island’s North Shore would inspire some of their greatest paintings. Dove, a native of Geneva — and a Cornell graduate — had achieved early recognition among avant-garde artists for the abstract paintings he had created 14 years earlier, the first by an American artist.

On exhibit Nassau County Museum of Art’s latest exhibition, “Our Gilded Age,” examines the appearances and the realities of an era that mirrors our own in many ways. Like the nation’s economy, American art and literature flourished during the Gilded Age. It was an exuberant age of excess with its own secret flaws, including widespread fraud.

The art of John Singer Sargent, Childe Hassam, Louis Comfort Tiffany and others adorned palatial residences designed by Stanford White and Ogden Codman Jr., architect of the museum’s own quintessential Gilded Age mansion. Drawing heavily upon the local literary history of Long Island, including William Cullen Bryant, Mark Twain (who named the Gilded Age), Walt Whitman, Edith Wharton and others, the exhibition will include paintings, fashion, decorative arts including period silver and china, photographs, manuscripts, first editions and other historic memorabilia. The “Upstairs, Downstairs” approach to the life of a country house brings to life not only the storied conspicuous consumption for which the Gilded Age was infamous, but also the real lives of these many individuals who maintained the palatial estates where that lifestyle was enjoyed. On view through March 10. Nassau County Museum of Art, 1 Museum Dr., Roslyn Harbor. (516) 484-9337 or NassauMuseum.org.

World-Class Luxury for Long Island Sands New York is aiming to redefine Long Island hospitality.

Are you ready to shop? Be sure to shop local

November 23, 2023 — NASSAU HERALD

By PARKER SCHUG pschug@liherald.com

There’s Black Friday. And then there’s Small Business … Saturday? No, Eric Alexander says: Small Business Season.

“We call it ‘Small Business Season’ for a reason,” said Alexander, founder of the Long Island Main Street Alliance, and director of Vision Long Island. “It’s not just ‘Small Business Saturday.’ It’s much bigger than that.”

Alexander joined several chambers of commerce and other local leaders to push the “Shop Local” message that can sometimes be overlooked in a world filled with box box stores and online shopping. Yet, it’s focusing on mom-andpop stores that keep jobs — and money — right here in the community.

“All of your small business owners need your support year-round,” said Julie Marchesella, president of the Elmont Chamber of Commerce. “It’s not just at holiday time.”

“The more of that money that we spend locally at local retailers, (the more that) stays here in our economy and allows us to grow,” added Joseph Garcia, president of the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce, which hosted the news conference.

A number of chambers — if not all of them — have been hard at work for weeks getting ready for the holiday shopping season, which officially starts the

Polly Talbott, president of the Lynbrook Chamber of Commerce, says she is thrilled with the collaborative efforts across Long Island to support small businesses. She shared her sentiment with reporters Monday in Farmingdale. day after Thanksgiving on Friday. Lisa DelliPizzi says her organization — the Franklin Square Chamber of Commerce — is ready.

“Franklin Square is definitely open for business,” she said.

For anyone looking for that great, unique gift — it’s important to not just visit tried-and-true local stores, but also

to venture out and try some of local businesses that they may not have considered in the past, or always wanted to go through.

“There’s a lot of diversity,” said Lawrence Lin, president of the Long Island Chinese Business Owners Association.

“A lot of different ways to celebrate and different flavors, different apparels and

different experiences. That’s very much embodied” in each community’s business district.

For every $100 spent at local businesses, $68 remain in the community, according to data compiled by Capital One Shopping Research. And local businesses are able to keep three times the money spent locally than chain stores.

Making sure that happens, Lynbrook Chamber of Commerce president Polly Talbott says, opens so many doors for new ideas and fresh activities to come to neighborhoods.

“I think it’s really great how we all are able to share what we do,” she said, “so that we can actually create more things for our own communities.”

But getting people to shop locally is not as easy as many would hope. In fact, 1-in-5 Americans say they shop at local businesses often, according to a September study conducted by IPX1031.

However, while 90 percent of those surveyed say they would like to see more stores open up locally, 81 percent say they want to shop locally, but still can’t pass up deals offered by larger chain retailers.

Ivan Sayles, representing the Nautical Mile Merchants Association, likely summarized the message his fellow chamber leaders wanted to convey the most: “Remember to make small business your business, because small business means big business for Long Island.”

Brown’s act described as a sign of bravery

member of the armed forces who is wounded in action. Brown will have the chance to help someone who fought for his and others’ freedom.

Donor and recipient do not yet know each other’s names.

Brown’s regret for not having served in the military dates back to the early 1990s, when he was contemplating enlisting to serve in the Gulf War. Then 23, he ultimately decided against it, because he had a young son and another on the way.

“Even though I’m an honoree major in the U.S. Air Force Civil Air Patrol, it’s not the same thing,” Brown said. “These guys who served in war, that’s a whole different level of honor and patriotism.”

Syd Mandelbaum, commander of Lawrence-Cedarhurst American Legion Post 339, has known Brown for over 20 years, and describes him as a selfless guy. When Mandelbaum lear ned of Brown’s act of kindness, he said it was a sign of bravery.

“He is putting himself in harm’s way

State Assemblyman Ari Brown, who is also the deputy mayor of Cedarhurst, is scheduled to donate a kidney to an American military veteran next month. to help someone that he knows is at risk,” Mandelbaum said. “It is equal to anything that any military person

would do. To be able to almost protect the future life of someone, I am really humbled that he’s doing this.”

Cedarhurst Mayor Benjamin Weinstock appointed Brown deputy mayor in 2019. Brown, a buisnessman, had served on the village’s zoning board from 1998 to 2001 and as a trustee from 2001 to 2019.

“It’s courageous and very important,” Weinstock said of Brown’s organ donation. “It is the kind of person he is, no question about it, but it goes even above and beyond the kind of person I know him to be.”

Brown is expected to undergo the transplant next month. He credits his resolve to the guidance of the Torah, which commands one to save someone who is in danger.

Whether his recipient were a veteran or not, he said, he would have done it regardless. “It’s the least I can do for a guy like this,” Brown said. “If the person didn’t work and were homeless, I would still do it. Personally, to save someone’s life, this is what a good Jew and a good Republican does. We give.”

this year, helping her reach her goal time of 3 hours, 40 minutes, a personal best. She finished 8,027th out of more than 51,000 runners.

Chapman finished in 3:39.

“The level of discipline you need to be a pacer is kind of unique,” Josh said.

“What kind of heart rate you need to keep pace at, the level of self-control that goes into it, to go in and be more calculated.”

The Candiottis first ran the New York marathon in 2019, raising money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s disease in honor of their grandmother, who died in 2017. They collected more than $9,000 for the charity through

donations from friends and family members and by hosting events, like a fundraiser cycling class.

“That first one was not only special because it’s our first, but it’s special because we were doing it for a really personal cause,” Elissa said. “You felt like you crossed that finish line not just for yourself, but for so many other people.”

They have since gained entry to the marathon through the New York Road Runners 9+1 program, in which runners compete in nine NYRR races and volunteer at one. Elissa said she plans to compete in the race every year, until she can’t anymore.

“It’s a day where the best of New York is on display,” she said. “Everyone is out there to celebrate, to support, to cheer and to work really hard towards a goal that seemed impossible 16 to 20 weeks before that.”

Her training consisted of swimming, biking and running, and she worked out seven days a week. “I think that what keeps me going back to that is knowing, even during the hard work — the really tough workouts, workouts where it’s either really hot or it’s getting late and dark — I just remember that the purpose of race day will just carry you through the hard days of the training process,” Elissa said.

Moving forward, she said, “My primary goal would be to keep getting better, stronger and faster, but my real goal, that actually matters most, is I hope I never lose sight of why I love the sport.

No matter what the outcome of the race is, that’s only a few hours of your life, but the hours and hours and months that you pour into it leading up, that’s actually what matters most. My real goal is to never lose sight of why I love it.”

Should I call my neighbor on code violations?

• To place an ad call 516-569-4000 press 5

Q. My neighbor has at least five code violations you’ve written about. I was curious one day, since they play music very loud and even put in a new fence, so I verified that the fence extends six inches onto my property. I plan to challenge them, but wonder how this would affect me. We actually get along pretty well, and I just always tolerate the extra traffic from their illegal renter, their parties, the shed I have to look at in our common side yard, etc., but would I be opening a can of worms? Do I really need an architect, and would I get in trouble and have to spend a lot of money just because I spoke out?

HOME Of tHE WEEK

Immaculate Center Hall Colonial

T

his meticulously updated 3000 sq.ft. Center hall Colonial residence offers a perfect blend of design and comfortable living spaces. As you step inside, you are greeted by an inviting entryway that leads you to the main level. The open concept layout boasts a spacious living room with large windows, allowing abundant natural light to fill the room.

The gleaming hardwood floors and fresh neutral paint create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This sunlit home offers an amazing layout with spacious rooms throughout. You will enjoy 5 bedrooms on the 2nd level with 3 full bathrooms. The first floor has an additional bedroom/office with a main floor full bathroom. All this and a full basement and 1.5 attached garage is included in this immaculate home in SD#14.

A. Probably. I just returned from Europe, and was amazed by the response from each tour guide that “nobody gets permits,” it seems. All the code violations I saw, like no handrails on cliff edges, missing hotel fire safety devices, no handicapped access, and no bathrooms, were the kinds of accommodations we take for granted in the onte eeper U.S. Walking half a mile to the only public (pay) restroom in a sprawling village was, sadly, typical, but acceptable.

That, coupled with the first statement a woman made to me at a party we were invited to on a ship, made me think of how “freedom isn’t free.” In her Australian accent, she introduced herself and asked me what I do back in the States. As soon as I uttered the words, “I’m an architect,” she jumped right in with, “Oh, we hate architects,” as she described the construction company she is an “administrator” for. She told how they design their own construction. I wonder how well that works, considering the levels of legalities there are, like building codes, fire codes, plumbing codes, electrical codes, and multiple levels of engineering required. Who’s protecting the unsuspecting consumer from the service provider?

So you may ask yourself if codes even matter.

Your neighbor, like that construction company, is apparently enabled by a lack of enforcement or action on anybody’s part. Unless there really are no rules to follow, the unknowing are left vulnerable to fall off a cliff, wet themselves or pee in a corner before they reach a sanitary, accessible facility, or become trapped in a burning building.

In your case, you’re actually worried about how you might have the tables turned on you because you thought to do the right thing by reclaiming your property. When those who are violated against become thought of as the violators, which seems to be a trend, will the people who were supposed to protect you really help? It’s sad to think you could be the guilty party for speaking up.

You’ll need to pay for a consult and have a knowledgeable in-person code review, to pick up any of the numerous items you may be remiss in.

The list of code requirements is much longer than you may anticipate. Good luck!

opinions

his year’s election results on Long Island, particularly in Nassau County, were indeed historic, when Republicans were unsuccessful in other parts of the country. I say this not just as a proud Nassau Republican, but as someone who has been a practitioner of government and politics at the town, county, state and federal levels for over a half century.

I have been a local committeeman, executive leader, councilman, county comptroller, congressman, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee and a pETER Nassau County Republican vice KinG chairman, and have participated in successful and unsuccessful presidential campaigns by John McCain, George W. Bush, Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump. I ran for state attorney general against Bob Abrams in 1986, losing by 1.2 million votes and having my own mother tell me how much Abrams helped senior citizens!

In recent years, it is remarkable how much the Nassau County Republican Party has achieved under Joe Cairo’s leadership, and how far the party has come.

Nassau Republicans had fallen on hard times in 2017 and 2018. The county was no longer the Republican stronghold it had been. Indeed, there were 100,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans.

Democrats held the county executive’s, district attorney’s and comptroller’s offices. For the first time ever, there was a Democratic Town of Hempstead supervisor, and Democrats controlled the Town of North Hempstead, the City of Glen Cove and the City of Long Beach. Two of three congressional seats in Nassau were held by Democrats, and Republicans had lost three State Senate seats.

The reasons for this downswing included a shift in demographics — ethnic groups that had no prior allegiance to Republicans moved into the county — and a backlash against the Trump administration, abetted by a liberal media. But those were only excuses. Politics and government aren’t supposed to be easy. That’s the challenge of democracy. A political organization can’t afford to be satisfied with the status quo, and can’t continue to rely on yesterday’s methods and tactics.

When he became the Republican chairman, Cairo made a point of meeting with Republican clubs and councils throughout the county. He sought out quality candidates like Anne Donnelly, a career prosecutor who would become district attorney in 2021. Cairo also reached out to newcomers, seeking the best and brightest and persuading them they were welcome to play lead roles in the party. In 2021, Mazi Filip, an Ethiopian refugee who had served as a paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces before moving to Long Island, a mother

T

of seven married to a Ukrainian-born cardiologist, became the first Republican Great Neck resident ever elected to the County Legislature.

Cairo went into the business community to recruit Jen DeSena, who became the first Republican to be elected North Hempstead supervisor since 1989, and was re-elected this year.

The Democratic City of Glen Cove elected Pamela Panzenbeck mayor in 2021, and reversed the makeup of the City Council from 6-1 Democrat to 6-1 Republican, which it remained this year.

And in Long Beach, which has an overwhelming Democrat registration edge, Republicans swept three contested City Council seats and the County Legislature seat.

For the major, defining races, Cairo turned to veterans. Don Clavin, Hempstead’s longtime receiver of taxes, won back the supervisor’s office for Republicans in 2019, and then Bruce Blakeman defeated the very capable Laura Curran in 2021 to become county executive, where he has done an outstanding job. In 2022 Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin overcame the county’s Democratic registration advantage of 100,000 and received 50,000 more votes in Nassau than Gov. Kathy Hochul, while Republicans were victorious in all three congressional races and won back three State Senate seats.

None of this happened by chance or just by selecting the best candidates.

Cairo combined the best of the old with

the best of the new to get the Republican message to the voters. To accurately gauge existing issues and to spot others before they arose, he relied on expert pollster and consultant John McLoughlin.

(Full disclosure: McLoughlin was my consultant for all 28 years I was in Congress.)

While he was analyzing the issues, Cairo was re-energizing local Republican committees and clubs, making sure they were in touch with their communities and prepared to work hard from Labor Day through Election Day, making calls and distributing brochures door to door.

Only the Nassau GOP could turn out more than a thousand campaign workers for a candidate on short notice.

And Republicans owe a debt of gratitude to Democrats for lurching so far leftward and providing us issues such as bail reform, defunding the police, unchecked illegal migration and proposals to impose city-like housing in suburban Nassau. These were political gifts, but serious issues that affected county residents and threatened their way of life. Confronting these issues head on was consistent with Republican values and principles.

Cairo made sure that all Republican candidates, officeholders and party volunteers spoke with one voice. They did, and the results have been repeated Republican victories, and what I believe are victories for Nassau County residents. Good job, Joe!

N.Y. needs to boost financial education in our schools

Y

oung people in New York have a great knowledge of many subjects, but they have much to learn about personal finance.

Many states have already incorporated financial education into the school curriculum, with some starting lessons as early as kindergarten. Twenty states, including Ohio, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia, require that students take a personal finance class to graduate high school. New York should get with the program.

I issued an executive order on literacy THomas p. financial in 2019, directing my office to idenDinapoli tify ways to enhance New York residents’ personal finance knowledge and understanding of issues such as mortgages, student loans and credit card debt. But we should also be focusing on financial literacy for the next generation,

to ensure that young people have the skills to effectively manage their finances and avoid falling into the trap of spiraling debt.

According to a National Endowment for Financial Education 2022 report, 80 percent of those surveyed stated they wished they had been required to take a personal finance class in school.

Also, a study by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, a nonprofit corporation regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, found that respondents with higher financial literacy were more likely to make financial ends meet than people with lower financial knowhow.

During last year’s legislative session in Albany, eight bills were introduced to include financial education in schools starting as early as pre-K. One bill called for the creation of a financial literacy fund, which would provide funding for grants or programs to estab-

H

lish financial literacy programs, specifically targeting at-risk populations. These bills merit further discussion.

In September 2022, the State Education Department convened a Blue Ribbon Commission charged with examining the state’s high school graduation measures.

The commission’s recommendations to the Board of Regents, related to ensuring educational excellence and equity for New York’s diverse student body, are expected to be released soon.

Several Board of Regents members have voiced support for adding personal finance as a requirement to obtain a high school diploma. I’m encouraged that the issue of personal finance was included in this important discussion, and hope that it will be given serious consideration. Adding financial education to the state’s curriculum can be successfully implemented, as evidenced by the fact that some of our schools already

ow about adding personal finance as a requirement to obtain a high school diploma?

offer a personal finance class.

For example, Mott Hall V, a South Bronx high school, is offering personal finance, taught in conjunction with a required economics course. Students learn theory, and also follow the stock market in real time, research corporate earnings and select stocks. They appreciate the real-world lessons that can be applied in the future.

The importance of learning personal finance can’t be underestimated, and I’m committed to helping New Yorkers strengthen their financial knowledge and understanding.

The stresses associated with financial difficulties can adversely affect your physical and mental health and hurt family members as well. Education in financial literacy can be an important step toward accessing a better job, improving your quality of life, and providing peace of mind.

Let’s make financial acumen part of our kids’ educations.

The timeless tradition of coming together

t

he turkey’s in the oven, the pumpkin pie is ready to be sliced, and the television in the living room is ready for some football.

Thanksgiving is here once again — a time when we can celebrate all that we’ve achieved over the past year, and the importance of family and close friends.

It’s commonly believed that our modern holiday traces back to 1621, when Plymouth pilgrims gathered with members of the Wampanoag tribe to celebrate the autumn harvest.

But in reality, Thanksgiving celebrations of some sort date back much further than that.

In fact, the Smithsonian Institution pinpoints the first true Thanksgiving here led by non-natives on May 27, 1578, in what is now Newfoundland. That’s obviously not what is now the United States, but the Smithsonian also says that many historians believe there was a Thanksgiving feast in what is now Phippsburg, Maine, in 1607.

Although it was informally celebrated by a number of states and territories in the years after that, Thanksgiving didn’t officially become a holiday until the Civil War, when President Abraham Lincoln heeded the long advocacy of magazine editor Sarah Josepha Hale and declared the fourth Thursday of every

November to be a national Thanksgiving Day. And with that, a tradition was born.

Sure, it would take a number of forms through the years. But the spirit of what Thanksgiving is all about — bringing us together, despite our differences — remained intact.

Those, indeed, were the sentiments shared by President Teddy Roosevelt with his son Kermit, who was away at school, highlighting how the White House observed the holiday in 1902.

“Yesterday was Thanksgiving, and we all went out riding,” Roosevelt wrote.

“We had a three-hours’ scamper, which was really great fun.”

“We dined in the new State Dining Room,” the president continued, “and we drank the health of you and all the rest of both families that were absent.

After dinner, we cleared away the table and danced. Mother looked just as pretty as a picture, and I had a lovely waltz with her.”

Whether it was at the White House or right in our backyard at Sagamore Hill, Thanksgiving meant a lot to Roosevelt, in how it brought not only the country together, but families, too.

“We are thankful for all that has been done for us in the past,” Roosevelt would say in a Thanksgiving proclamation two years later. “We pray that, in the future,

we may be strengthened in the unending struggle to do our duty fearlessly and honestly. With charity and goodwill.

With respect for ourselves. And with love toward our fellow man.”

Thanksgiving isn’t just about turkey, pumpkin pie or football. It’s more than the day before the official start of the holiday shopping season. It’s about unity. It’s about cooperation. It’s truly about love — for ourselves, our family, our neighbors. Whether we all gather in one place or our families are spread across the country — or even around the globe — use this time to be together, and enjoy doing it.

The real trick, however, isn’t succeeding at doing that on Thanksgiving, but continuing it after the holiday. Into the following week. Into December. Into next year.

There may be so many things we disagree on, but believe it or not, disagreement can not only bring us together, but make us stronger.

All it takes is a little bit of respect — and love — for one another. And we have the chance to get it all started when we gather for turkey, pie and football on Thanksgiving.

And who knows — maybe we can clear away the dinner table afterward, and, like the Roosevelts, celebrate with a little bit of waltzing.

associated with wind projects damage human health.

Many opponents of Empire Wind insist that they support renewable energy. They also couch their objections to the project in green rhetoric, suggesting, for example, that they are fighting to

protect the local environment. But these outspoken activists are silent in regard to the proven negative impacts on health and climate of the Barrett fossil-fuel-burning plant on Barnum Island operated by National Grid. And while some refer disparagingly to Empire’s “foreign

Letters Let’s not be quick to dismiss offshore wind farms To the Editor: In recent issues of the Herald, State Sen. Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick and Assemblyman Ari Brown have offered several reasons for opposing the Empire Wind project proposed for sites off Long Beach. Their objections include some reasonable, fact-based critiques of the project.

It’s true that Equinor, the Norwegian developer of the wind farm, failed to consult fully and openly with the local communities. It’s also true that this project, like many others worldwide, is proving to be far more expensive than originally anticipated, resulting in pleas for rate increases. Empire’s enormous scale can likewise be legitimately challenged.

Other claims by its opponents, however, are without merit. They contend, for example, that offshore wind turbines are somehow implicated in whale deaths. Federal and independent experts have concluded that there is no basis for such claims. Similarly, a World Health Organization analysis of a range of studies found no evidence that electromagnetic fields

efforts to establish the United Nations (freedom from fear).

It fell to Rockwell to translate those abstract concepts into four scenes of everyday American life that would capture the minds and hearts of his countrymen (as well as their investments in war bonds), a task he initially thought was beyond his capabilities. History has proven him quite wrong, and those four images are among the most famous of perhaps the most famous illustrator in American history.

“Freedom of Speech” depicts a blue-collar man, wearing a plaid shirt and suede jacket, standing in the crowd at a government meeting to voice his opinion. The others in the painting are well dressed, wearing ties and jackets, but they listen respectfully as this workingman speaks his mind.

“Freedom of Worship,” under the title “each according to the dictates of his own conscience,” shows eight people of different faiths in a moment of prayer.

One of them, his head covered and holding a religious book, is Jewish. A young woman with rosary beads represents catholics. An older woman, praying devoutly, embodies Protestantism. It’s a tribute to religious diversity.

t

he artist’s scenes of everyday American life captured the imagination of his countrymen.

Letters ownership,” no mention is made of the fact that National Grid is owned by a British multinational corporation.

Barrett’s smokestacks have been belching toxins for more than 60 years. The plant currently emits about one million tons of carbon dioxide and other pollutants annually. Unlike the proposed offshore wind project, Barrett poses a longstanding and existing threat to the health of local residents and to the future sustainability of life on the Long Beach barrier island.

In addition to fouling the air we breathe, National Grid wants to hike Long Islanders’ bills by hundreds of dollars a year — multiples of the increase for ratepayers that might result from building Empire Wind.

It should be possible to conduct a civil discussion on how to safely meet the electricity needs of Long Beach and surrounding communities. A dialogue of this sort would consider the totality of environmental and health effects and proceed on the basis of respect for reputable scientific findings KEvIN J KELLEy Atlantic Beach

In the Middle East, whose side is the press on?

To the Editor: I should be surprised that the news media is saying that Israel should ease up

“Freedom from Want” is a Thanksgiving scene in which an aproned matriarch presents a turkey to her family, three generations breaking bread together at their dining room table. The illustration represents traditional American family values: togetherness, harmony, peace and abundance.

And “Freedom from Fear” shows children nestled safely in their bed, oblivious to the carnage occurring across the ocean.

Their mother tucks them in, and their father holds a newspaper with a headline announcing the Nazi blitz of London, where the scene would be much different and where the lives of everyone, including innocent children, were in jeopardy.

Rockwell’s illustrations, which appeared in four consecutive issues of the Saturday Evening Post, were accompanied by essays by four of the top writers of the era. Booth Tarkington, dubbed the “dean of popular American letters,” authored a piece on freedom of speech. Essayist Will Durant handled freedom of worship. Philippine immigrant carlos Bulosan wrote about freedom from want. And novelist Stephen vincent Benét covered freedom from fear (and, ironically, died the day it appeared in print). All are worth revisiting from a historic as well as

on Gaza, but unfortunately, I am not. The news media (in print, on television, on radio and, I suppose, on the various internet sources) is saying that in order to ease the pressure on the average Palestinian in Gaza, Israel should not continue its attack.

I would like to put the situation into a context that might be a little more understandable.

Based on the 2023 “World Almanac,” the United States has about 337 million people, while Israel has about 9.3 million.

This means there are about 37 times as many people in the U.S. as there are in Israel. From what I’ve heard, about 1,200 people were killed in the initial attack, most of whom were women and children.

Some were beheaded, whether before or after death isn’t known.

Now let’s say that 5,000 drug soldiers, who want the land that was taken from Mexico in the 1840s returned to Mexico, cross the border from Mexico into San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Houston, and Brownsville and kill 44,000 people, mostly women and children, some of whom get beheaded. They then take another 4,000 to 5,000 people hostage back to Mexico. Do you suppose the United States would allow that to go without a response?

There are several issues that need to be addressed in the Middle East, but when one side refuses to acknowledge the other

a modern viewpoint. But it was Rockwell’s pictures, more than the essays and perhaps more than FDR’s speech, that remain such a poignant part of Americana.

As we approach Thanksgiving, it’s worthwhile to re-examine the four illustrations and ponder their meaning and message, at a time when the nation seems so terribly divided over — let’s be frank — fleeting issues that often don’t amount to a hill of beans. It often seems that half of our country is perpetually mad at the other half. Are we really that different? Are our differences really irreconcilable?

I don’t think so. Actually, I think we’re much more alike than different, and I believe that as a society, we share core values that matter infinitely more than ephemeral political squabbles. Those values, captured by Rockwell, are what bind us as a nation.

Let’s count our blessings, send our prayers to the suffering people of the Middle East and Ukraine, take a deep breath and maybe revisit Rockwell’s Four Freedoms — permanently on display at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, an easy and scenic day trip from Long Island. And let’s ponder what those 80-year-old illustrations say not only about us as Americans, but also about us as human beings.
