Limb loss and prosthetics are featured on this fashion runway By ABIGAIl GRIECo Intern

The Sands, in Atlantic Beach, hosted the Limb Kind Foundation’s fourth annual Show Your Shine Adaptive Runway Show last Saturday. The event is organized by Jill Smith, an occupational therapist who founded Show Your Shine to raise funds to benefit the Limb Kind Foundation and celebrate those with limb loss. She teams up each year with her brother, Robert Schulman, the founder and executive director of Limb Kind, a nonprofit that was founded in Oceanside and is now headquartered in Ozone Park, whose mission, according to it website, is “improving

the lives of children with limb loss, both domestic and international, by strengthening the amputee community and providing pediatric prosthetic care to all.” The event has repeatedly been a sold-out success, drawing attention to the courage and resilience of young people with limb differences and limb loss and creating a supportive environment for them. “This is a special evening that continues to further advance our mission of improving the lives of children with limb loss,” Schulman said, “by strengthening the amputee community … not only in New York, but around the world.” The show isn’t merely a celebration; it’s Continued on pAge 10

Her mother said it was a job that she loved and one that saved her because after completing her first full year, she applied to Molloy University to pursue a master’s degree in elementary education and teaching. “It kind of reaffirmed her faith and what’s right in the world,” Aimee said. “The staff there took her under their wing and was part of their family, the Franklin family.” Last October, Jordyn rang the bell, which signified she was done with treatments, only to be re-diagnosed weeks later. The Franklin family, specifically the students, made it known that the impact she left on them wasn’t forgotten. “The kids would send monthly card packages to her from all of the classrooms that she was missed and loved,” Aimee said. “They were tremendous.”

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

The Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT) For those who don’t qualify for long-term care insurance or can’t afford it, the Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (“MAPT”) can protect your assets from the high cost of long-term care in your home or in a facility. The MAPT sets up two roadblocks that Medicaid cannot break through. First, you cannot be your own trustee. Usually, one or more of the adult children act as trustee. Secondly, you, as the creator of the MAPT, are entitled to the income only, not the principal. If you don’t have access to the principal (your home or other assets in the trust), then Medicaid doesn’t have access to the principal. The MAPT makes good sense for assets you’re not going to spend – like your home and investments you’re not using. As we often say, if you don’t need it to live on, then why not protect it for your family instead of losing it to pay for long-term care. When you apply for Medicaid for nursing home care, if you’ve transferred any assets in the past five years, you are ineligible. The full protection of the trust only takes place

five years after you establish the trust. This is why you want to plan ahead. Under new rules commencing April 1, 2024, you will also need to have the MAPT in place two and half years in advance to be eligible for care in your own home. The MAPT does not affect your lifestyle. You still receive your pension, social security checks, minimum distributions on your retirement plans, interest and dividends. You have the exclusive right to use and enjoy your home. You keep all your property tax exemptions. You can sell your house, buy a new one, or invest the proceeds, which remain in the trust, still protected. The MAPT is also flexible. You can change trustees and you can change who you leave it to. Although the MAPT is an irrevocable trust, not only does it have the flexibility mentioned above, but in New York there is a mechanism to revoke an irrevocable trust. All that is required is for all parties, you and your children, to sign. We even have a workaround just in case one of the children refuses to sign.

The Island Park Fire Department received advanced training on the “Lifeline Arm”, a defibrillator and CPR machine made by Defibtech and purchased by the Barnum Island Fire District. The district purchased two of the machines to put in service in Island Park Department ambulances and 40 machines are in operation across Nassau County. Barnum Island fire commissioner Frank Bettineschi said the acquisition of the equipment across the County has done a great job of decreasing mortality rates. Defibtech sales manager Debbie Vitelli and County police medic supervisor William Rudnick led an informative session, ensuring the department is well-equipped to handle emergencies with the equipment. Island Park Mayor Mike McGinty Deputy Mayor Matthew Graci and County Legislator Patrick Mullaney also stopped by for the presentation. Vitelli demonstrated the proper use of the Lifeline Arm, emphasizing steps such as disassembly, power button operation, and the importance of stabilization and wrist straps.

For the second straight year, the Oceanside wrestling team will be sending 12 grapplers to the individual county championships at Hofstra this weekend. Is the school’s next long-awaited county champion among them? Four Sailors won their respective weight classes and three more finished third at the Nassau Division 6 Qualifier at Baldwin High School last Saturday, giving the team and coach Brian Schoenfelder plenty of momentum heading into this weekend’s event. “Big picture, we got the kids we needed to to advance,” Schoenfelder said. The team especially dominated the 116-weight class by claiming the top three spots in that division. Junior Jake Strianese bested freshman teammate Chace Morris in the final and sophomore Michael Scotto needed two overtime periods to beat Farmingdale’s Anthony Mancuso in the consolation final after losing to him weeks earlier. “He had such a great mindset knowing he could win three matches and wrestle back and he won each match,” Schoenfelder said of Scotto. “Just pure Ross Farber/Herald mental toughness.

Long Island needs more volunteer firefighters By BRANDON CRUZ bcruz@liherald.com

Long Island is in dire need of volunteer firefighters. Here in Nassau County, for example, just 6,000 men and women serve local departments — not enough to serve a county of nearly 1.5 million residents. “It’s a crisis,” said Michael Uttaro, Nassau County’s fire marshal. The county saw a large boost in volunteer firefighters just after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, reaching more than 10,000 strong at its peak. But that enthusiasm has since dwindled, Uttaro said, and protecting communities depends on those willing to step up and defend it. “We had a little bit of a spike where people wanted to help their communities,” he said. “They were inspired and had feelings of patriotism. That has waned off. And it’s waned off significantly.” But not all is lost. Edward Tase Jr., president of the Firefighters Association of the State of New York, believes it is up to local fire departments — and ultimately the state — to help fix this issue and raise volunteer numbers. In fact, the state firefighters association is calling on Gov. Kathy Hochul to properly invest in recruitment efforts. Otherwise, the volunteer-based system that has always fueled Long Island may

Donald Corkery, president of the New York State Association of Fire Districts, shares a study from the state firefighters association at the Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center in Uniondale, which found nearly half of New York residents are interested in becoming volunteer firefighters. eventually collapse, forcing both Nassau and Suffolk counties to move toward professional firefighters, like those in neighboring New York City. And that could get expensive. The 80,000 volunteers who staff fire departments throughout the state save taxpayers $4.7 billion each year, according to a state firefighters association study. There are 179 fire departments on Long Island — more than 70 of them found in Nassau — with all but two being volunteer. “We’re fighting with the government right now,” Tase said. “When you join as

a volunteer firefighter, you get a $200 credit on your state income tax. I’m pushing to get it to $800, and pushing for the state to understand the value that we provide.” But volunteering comes with other perks and benefits beyond the income tax credit: breaks on property taxes, grants and scholarships for free or reduced college tuition, and even retirement benefits and service pensions. “We need to do better and connect more with the communities we serve,” Uttaro said, adding that by having better

community connections, the county can not only grow its active volunteer roster, but also increase the fire department’s diversity. Although Nassau’s population is becoming more diverse, those demographics aren’t always translating over into the community fire departments. “We’re missing those folks,” Uttaro said, “and the opportunity to get them to join and let them know about the community they just moved into, and how they can help.” Another state study found that nearly half of New York residents are interested in volunteering at their local fire department — something Uttaro says he wants to capitalize on. More than “66 percent of the people surveyed said they would stop down at their local firehouse to get more information on volunteering,” the fire marshal said, “so now it is our job to roll out the welcome mat.” Regina Cabrera found her way to volunteering for her local fire department in Patchogue. And despite what some might believe about doing this kind of work, there is still plenty of opportunity to still have a life outside of the fire station. “I have a social life,” she said. “I go to church. I have a 9-to-5. I do a lot. But why not push yourself to do something? You don’t know what you’re capable of until you try.”

A sweet, long story of chocolates

elebrating its 71st year in business, Emile’s Candies is one of Long Island’s last old-fashioned chocolate factories. Here the chocolates are created, and the centers are freshly cooked on premises, made in small batches (a little at a time) on the original machinery, exclusively using the recipes of its founder. Emile Wagenknecht, a German confectioner, founded Emile’s Candies in 1953. His son, Robert, took over in 1965. In 1980, Robert hired a high school student, Patrick Quinn, who purchased the store in 1994, retaining all the family’s processes. The present owners, Jackie (above) and Michael Brown, proudly took over in 2017. They preserved all of Emile’s renowned recipes, and offer truffles, cremes, jellies, nougats, clusters, marshmallows, cherry cordials, marzipan, chocolate-covered pretzels, caramels and more. In addition to hand crafting, they use a chocolate enrober — a candy-making machine that is nearly 70-years-old (think of the famous “I Love Lucy” candy-factory episode). Confection selection has been updated and expanded, while Emile

Wagenknecht’s original and old world formulas and techniques prevail. There is something for everyone. Just ask and be specific. Sugar-free chocolates are available, as are Kosher and Kosher-Dairy, prepared with production partners. Gluten-free can be found as well. As for allergies, be aware that candy and chocolates are made on shared equipment. Hand-packed boxes, signature gifts, platters and holiday-themed arrangements come in many varieties and sizes. Emile’s Candies ships items using UPS. Allow 24 hours to process an order, and more if it’s holiday-related. Most recently, they have joined forces with Trellus, a company that delivers swiftly and locally. Emile’s Candies is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. During holiday times, they extend hours. Check the website, EmilesCandies.com, or call.

Event shines a spotlight on resiliency Continued from page 1

also a platform for empowerment and raising awareness, its organizers say. “The event provides a unique opportunity for the amputee community,” Schulman said, “inspiring others and fostering a sense of unity and acceptance.” Smith, who said she is passionate about challenging societal norms and perceptions, shared her motivation for creating the event. “I want people to stare for the right reasons,” she said. “These individuals are stared at daily due to their differences, but at this event, all eyes will be on them, celebrating.” Ranging from ages 6 to 46, more than 20 participants, many of them children, worked the runway, celebrating their differences and strength despite having experienced limb loss in various forms, be it arms, legs or hands. “It takes courage and confidence to walk down a runway, with or without a physical difference,” Smith said. “Through this experience, each model finds their own confidence, and their community learns that differences do not need to separate them from their dreams.” Among the models was Matias Ferreira, 30, who holds the distinction of being the first double amputee patrolman in the country. Having served in the U.S. Marine Corps and sustained injuries in 2011, Ferreira now serves as a Suffolk County police officer. “I’ve done some public speaking, but this is a different experience,” Ferreira said on Saturday. “It’s nerve-racking with the flashing lights and a lot of people looking at you. But we did a walk-through yesterday, which helped me get a little more comfortable being on the stage.” Ferreira’s presence wasn’t just about his own journey. It also symbolized a collaboration between the Limb Kind Foundation and

Beyond the Badge, a volunteer-based organization with the mission of supporting members of law enforcement and raising awareness of the mental health and suicide crisis among first responders. Expressing his admiration for the children taking part in the event, Ferreira said, “The kids really just fascinate me and impress me every single time with their perseverance and their view on life. I like to use the word ‘typical’ instead of ‘normal’; you’re just a typical kid doing typical things.” Another model, Alexandra Capellini, a 28-year-old first-time participant from Brooklyn, expressed similar sentiments, emphasizing the importance of community and selfexpression for young amputees. “This is a great chance to show the rest of the models that you can create your own confidence walking around with their prosthetics,” she said. Capellini emphasized how the amputee community was what really drove her to express herself and gain confidence. “When I was the same age as a lot of the younger models,” she said, “I was very nervous to wear anything that showed my prosthesis, but I want to show them that you can wear skirts and shorts and take back your own narrative.” One of the youngest participants, 8-year-old Elizabeth Calvert, was modeling for the second year. Her excitement was obvious as she expressed her favorite things about the show. “At the end, there’s a dance party, and it’s so fun,” she said. In a world often obsessed with perfection, the Show Your Shine Adaptive Runway Show stands as a beacon of acceptance, resilience and unity. As the models took to the stage, they not only displayed the latest fashions but also their indomitable spirit, proving that differences can be celebrated and embraced.

time as your extended kindness may lift the heart of another. On a personal note: When I first began thinking about Valentine’s Day, I started out with great enthusiasm in addressing love. But the more I thought about love itself, the more I found myself pondering all that love encompasses in life, and why we should recognize love for all that it truly is. After all, love is vital to our overall emotional well being and quality of life. A deep, core emotion we each carry within our heart, encompassing all our love-relationships, including the relationship with ourselves, and why learning to embrace our own inner self-love, compassion, forgiveness, and healing is the greatest love of all! So, whether you are marking Valentine’s Day solo or with a special someone, be sure to lovingly nurture and celebrate the one relationship you have with “the most important person in your life - you”! For the love you invest in yourself – is the love you invest in your future.

t’s that time of year when we celebrate all loving relationships, especially romantic love! The day when countless Valentine’s Day cards, flowers and heart-shaped gifts of love and affection are abound! A celebration of love that is so much more than we may know, starting from its origin. Where did Valentine’s Day originate? Though the history of this holiday and the story of its patron saint is shrouded in mystery, many believe that Valentine’s Day is named after Saint Valentine of Rome, a beloved martyr who was executed on February 14th in 3rd century A.D. The stories of religious heroism by St. Valentine were honored by the Catholic Church with the celebration of St. Valentine’s Day. Love is a many splendored thing. As I have discovered, the ancient Greeks studied love and denoted each type, giving each one a Greek name:

NYU Langone unveils ambulatory care center By NICOLE FORMISANO nformisano@liherald.com

NYU Langone designed its new ambulatory care facility with a goal in mind: Creating a one-stop destination for patients’’ medical needs. The hospital — at 1111 Franklin Ave., in Garden City — offers more than 30 specialties under one roof, intended to make the days of running between appointments and specialists a thing of the past. “So, it’s no longer having the patient go to multiple places — the places come to them,” said Martin Chavez, chief of maternal-fetal medicine, at the Garden City center. “And it’s not so bad of a place to be when you need services.” The new hospital encompasses an entire half-mile block — which some neighbors may remember as the old Bloomingdale’s store — making it the largest ambulatory care center on Long Island. The $170 million facility is the latest development in Nassau County’s goal of becoming a premier site for health care, said County Executive Bruce Blakeman. “The county is investing a significant amount of money in marketing Nassau County as a destination site for medical tourism,” he said. “I believe this is very, very important for our economy. It is a jewel in our whole economic development of the region. “That’s what’s so great, is to have a

Nicole Formisano/Herald

Fostering a collaborative environment was one of the most important design priorities, senior director Jean Marie Addeo said. The 300 doctors and 600 nurses and support staff work together to make patients feel comfortable. facility like this. So that people in this community who have a medical condition can get the high-quality, first-class treatment — I would say world-class treatment — here that you don’t find in many places across the world.” The ambulatory care center expects 35,000 patient visits every month, NYU Langone officials say they want to deliver hospital care without an atmosphere of coldness or sterility. The center features floor-to-ceiling windows for natural light, colorful couches and coffee tables, and an outdoor garden.

“It makes a huge difference — you can see it in our patients,” Chavez said. “You can see it when our patients are able to come in and be in a comfortable environment as they wait. “Whether it’s an exam room, an ultrasound room, a consultation room, it doesn’t matter. They feel at ease. They feel safe. They feel like it’s the level of care they deserve and expect.” Experiencing illness or chronic health issues is stressful enough. The ambulatory care center is designed to remove the added challenge of juggling different spe-

cialists. Someone who is visiting a pulmonologist and discovers heart issues, for example, can now just head down the hallway to the cardiology department, rather than be caught in a cycle of referrals. “It’s not only a wonderful environment for our patients, it’s a wonderful environment to be a clinician for patients as well,” Chavez said. “Now all I have to do is walk down the hall and I can get a consultation, or talk with a colleague about a complex patient.” Balancing 25 consolidated practices and 32 specialties was no small feat, facility senior director JeanMarie Addeo said. She and other NYU Langone administrators had to figure out which departments should be separated, which should be neighbors, and which needed the most space. The resulting flow has created a very collaborative environment. The 600 nurses and support staff even have something of a running competition, Addeo said: Memorize each of the 300 doctors’ names, specialties and floors so they can match any patient to any doctor. Although the care center’s resources play a significant role in its success with patients, she added, the staffers are the real key to quality health care. “I’m incredibly proud of this beautiful, wonderful facility,” Blakeman said. “But more importantly, the people that work here that provide health care to our whole population.”

STEPPING OUT

Lucky Day Stir Fry

Snake Alley Noodles

Lunar New Year feasting

Host a celebration to welcome the Year of the Snake

By Karen Bloom Super Sunday weekend is upon us. And with it, the start of the Year of the Dragon, which arrives Feb. 10. Before everyone’s attention turns to the Big Game, why not partake of some more New Year’s revelry with an Asian twist? So take out the broom and sweep away the winter doldrums with a Lunar New Year gathering. The dragon is the sixth year of the Chinese zodiac, which consists of 12 years (and 12 different animals) total. A majestic and lucky creature in Chinese folklore, the dragon symbolizes bravery, creativity and innovation. According to the Chinese horoscope, 2024 is a year full of potential and opportunities for personal growth, professional success and social impact. The dragon is also associated with one of the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal or water. Each element gives the dragon a different personality and destiny. Actually the Year of the Wood Dragon, 2024 is also known as Yang Wood on Dragon, or Jia Chen. The fixed element of the dragon (chen) is Earth (Wu), which represents stability, honesty and loyalty. The variable element of the dragon in 2024 is yang wood, or jia, further representing growth, creativity and flexibility. The wood dragon, according to the lore, is the most creative and visionary of the dragons. They are optimistic, ambitious and adventurous — ready to explore new ideas and challenge themselves. They are also generous, compassionate, and loyal to their friends. Therefore, the Year of the Dragon in 2024 is expected to be a time of visionary leaders, innovators and problem solvers. It’s also predicted to be a great year to start new projects, explore new opportunities, and create value for yourself and others. Lunar New Year is all about spectacle, from those ubiquitous fireworks and dancing dragons, to an assortment of delectable food. That’s why it’s a holiday anyone can enjoy — and a great time to host a party. From the décor and color scheme, to the food, Lunar New Year is rich in beautiful symbols. If you’ve got a round table, this is the time to use it, because it is a sign of wholeness. Decorate it with red and gold accents to represent good luck and prosperity. During Lunar New Year, the color red is everywhere. People wear red, decorate with poems on red paper, and give children “hong bao” (or “lucky money”) in red envelopes. That’s because red symbolizes happiness, abundance and good fortune. It also symbolizes fire, which according to legend, can drive away bad luck. There are all sorts of symbolic foods, each associated with specific blessings or good luck. Noodles — in dishes such as Snake Alley Noodles — stand for longevity. Pork symbolizes wealth. A whole chicken? Completeness and prosperity. Supplement the meal with other symbolic foods, such as pot stickers or spring rolls (said to bring prosperity because they resemble gold ingots); a bowl of tangerines or oranges

(their Chinese names sound like the words for “luck” and “wealth”); fortune cookies to go with dessert — you can even insert your own customized fortunes for the year ahead. For the ultimate in a customized fortune, make homemade fortune cookies and write creative fortunes to delight and amuse your guests. And at the stroke of midnight, open your doors and windows to release the stresses of the old year.

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. 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.

Furthermore, as to the bidding,

• The bidder(s) agree that they will not work with any other bidder(s) to increase, maintain or stabilize interest rates or collaborate with any other bidder(s) to gain an unfair competitive advantage in the random number generator in the event of a tie bid(s) on a tax certificate. Bidder(s) further agree not to employ any bidding strategy designed to create an unfair competitive advantage in the tiebreaking process in the upcoming tax sale nor work with any other bidder(s) to engage in any bidding strategy that will result in a rotational award of tax certificates. • The tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) bid, will be arrived at independently and without direct or indirect consultation, communication or agreement with any other bidder and that the tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) to be bid, have not been disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder, and will not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder prior to the close of bidding. No attempt has been made or will be made to, directly or indirectly, induce any other bidder to refrain from bidding on any tax certificate, to submit complementary bids, or to submit bids at specific interest rates. •The bids to be placed by the Bidder will be made in good faith and not pursuant to any direct or indirect, agreement or discussion with, or inducement from, any other bidder to submit a complementary or other noncompetitive bid. •If it is determined that the bidder(s) have violated any of these bid requirements then their bid shall be voided and if they were the successful bidder the lien and any deposits made, in connection with, said bid shall be forfeited.

However, such tax liens shall have priority over the County’s Differential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the interest and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased. The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser’s rights with respect to the lien(s) the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/ or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), 12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et. seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) receivership. The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premises herein listed. The rate of interest and penalty which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Treasurer ten per cent of the amount from which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety per cent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety per cent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Treasurer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limited to the ten per cent theretofore paid by him shall, without further notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the agreement to purchase be of no further effect. Time is of the essence in this sale. This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale.

The g roup’s ef forts extend well beyond Long Beach, to the Town of Hempstead and even Brooklyn and Queens — wherever a cat is in need. It rescues cats from kill shelters, giving them not only a second chance at life, but also the opportunity to find happiness with a loving family. Volunteers emphasize the importance of spaying and neutering pets to help make a dent in the perennial problem of an uncontrolled population of strays, especially cats. The emphasis is on not only preventing the births of unwanted litters that contribute to overpopulation, but also ensuring animals’ well-being and alleviating the strain on shelters. The organization will host its sixth annual Bowling for Kitties fundraiser on Feb. 25, at Maple Lanes in Rockville Centre. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door, with all proceeds benefiting the Humane Society. In addition to bowling, there will be a silent auction, a 50/50 raffle and food and drinks available for purchase. The shelter is open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays. In addition to this month’s fundrais-

national tourism with a $1.75 billion reinvestment program currently underway at Marina Bay Sands. Much closer to home, Sands looks to earn one of New York’s downstate casino licenses with a massive redevelopment of the 80-acre property where the Nassau Coliseum currently sits. It plans to build outdoor community spaces, high-end hotels, and what Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman describes as a “world-class live performance venue honoring the legacy of live music” at the Coliseum. The project also is expected to include celebrity chef restaurants, convention space and ballrooms, a day spa, a swimming pool, and a health club, along with a casino. It is expected to create 12,000 construction jobs, and ultimately employ 5,000 people. As of 2022, Sands has invested $56 million in workforce development initiatives globally, while reducing its carbon emissions by 50 percent — partially affected by lower attendance at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.

Bricks, too, require workmanship

Q. Why do bricks fall off a wall? I live in a brick house, and was concerned when I saw in the news recently that a whole side of condos in Suffolk County just collapsed on cars. The report said it was under investigation, but we rarely hear the answer to what they found. What could cause that, and is there anything I can do with my brick house?

Living the Life

A. The expression that something or someone is “built like a brick house” obviously didn’t apply in this case. You never think of brick as a weak or precarious material applied to buildings, but because brick is not structural, but rather cosmetic, attached to the rest of the face of a building with thin strips of metal from behind, if not done onte eeper correctly, the result can be just like what you saw in that news story. Unfortunately, there’s little you can do about your wall’s hidden conditions unless you open them. Sadly, there are many workers who have never had formal training in the proper application of construction materials. I noted over the years, as a volunteer mentor in several high schools, that school curriculums reduced or eliminated classes in industrial arts, automotive repair and construction technology and replaced them with computer technology and preparation for a college education. I realize this is a general statement that educators could debate and grade me on, but the simple fact is that because little or no training qualifications are required to get a contractor’s license and no formal construction education is required, poor workmanship and bad decisions, with no basis in engineering or science, are a daily occurrence, especially in residential construction. Not that everyone does a poor job, but quality control is based on pride and vigilance, not on uniformity, like you find with other skilled professions, where oversight and responsibility is strict and rampant, as in the medical field. Anybody can argue anything, but public safety should be everyone’s job, and that wall was either missing the wall ties, they were spaced too far apart, they weren’t the right kind, the wall had no spacing behind to allow trapped water to flow out, or the backup material wasn’t correctly waterproofed and thus deteriorated. It’s important that even a brick wall is handled correctly from start to finish. We hear people protesting daily for freedom from regulation, but isn’t it your right not to be subjected to a brick wall collapse that was avoidable? I speak with building and homeowners daily, and find that most, if not all, have a reasonable expectation that the work they’re paying for will be, as they often say, “perfect” or something close. When that level of expectation isn’t met, the customer is generally upset. Since the industry places responsibility on the wrong people, such as inspectors, engineers and architects instead of the last person to touch the construction, the problem is perpetual. Good luck!

orget scary movies or the end of the world — what scares almost all of us the most, by far, is getting a voicemail from a family member, telling you to call back right away because “it’s important.” My 90-year-old father did that last week, a message I got on my phone as I was walking from what had been an enlightening and productive meeting with a school superintendent. The last several months had been MICHAEL filled with diffiHINMAN cult calls like this. My mother’s cancer. My stepmother’s passing. Learning that a former colleague is gravely ill. I couldn’t begin to imagine what this call might be about. Not wanting to stress as I dialed my dad’s number, I calmed myself by joking under my breath that my parents probably went

out and got married. “Dad, it’s Mike. What’s wrong?” “Nothing’s wrong. But I wanted to let you know your mother and I got married.” This wasn’t my imagination. This was actually coming from the other end of the line. “Wait, what? When?” “What time is it now?” My dad paused for a moment. “Oh, about an hour ago.” Since my stepmother died, my parents had reconnected. My dad moved from Florida back to where I grew up in Pennsylvania late last year to be closer to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. And my mom happened to already be there, with room in her house for him to live. Although they divorced in 1998, my parents remained friends. They didn’t have to co-parent or anything — all their kids were grown. But even in the worst of times, if two people truly love

each other, can anything really keep them apart? That’s a mystery of love — one of many. And it was no coincidence, I’m sure, that all of this took place on the lead-up to Valentine’s Day. Not much is known about Valentine, except that he lived and died during the third century, ministering to persecuted Christians in the Roman Empire — if you can believe what Wikipedia shares. But so much of Valentine’s story is obscured by legend, and it’s really not clear what led our culture to revere him. More than 200 years after his death, Pope Gelasius I established a Feast of St. Valentine to take place on Feb. 14, to honor his martyrdom. Centuries later, Geoffrey Chaucer — the English poet who brought us “The Canterbury Tales” — wrote about Valentine in his poem “Parlement of Foules,” linking

ecades after calling it quits, my parents decided to remarry.

him to romance and lovers for what is believed to be the first time. Love happens to be the language many of us — if not all of us — relate to the most. The power of love can build new worlds or destroy them — and do just about everything in between. The famed radio psychiatrist Dr. David Viscott once said, “To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.” And 20th-century philosopher Rabindranath Tagore described love as “an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it.” My parents woke up one morning last week and decided between breakfast and buying some groceries that they would give marriage another go, decades after they called it quits. Love is indeed an endless mystery. But as long as it continues to bring people together — like it did my mother and father once again — keeping it a mystery is worth the price.

Climate change is breaking the bank

ast year was the hottest ever recorded on Earth, with accompanying climate disasters. More than 40 percent of the planet’s surface was at least 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than in the late 19th century. Many scientists believe that a 1.5-degree increase over preindustrial levels is the point at which severe climate consequences begin. Parts of Canada and the northern United States already have average temperatures at least 2 degrees Celsius above the mark, and in ALAN j. parts of Europe the average temsINgEr perature was 3 degrees warmer. Last August, the average surface temperature of the world’s oceans was a record high 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Hotter ocean temperatures destroy ecosystems for fish and create stronger tropical storms and hurricanes. In Canada, out-of-control forest fires burned through an area the size of North Dakota, and wildfires in northern Greece were the largest ever recorded in the European Union. Recordbreaking rains left one-third of Pakistan underwater and 20 million people

homeless. In Beijing, China, recordbreaking rains flooded hundreds of roads and forced the cancellation of flights. Rural villages in northern China had to have food, water, and emergency supplies dropped in by helicopter. Last year was the fourth time in less than 20 years that the Amazon region of South America suffered from severe drought, which had never happened before. The United Nations estimates that almost onefourth of the world’s population was living in drought conditions in 2022 and 2023. Prolonged droughts would have been highly unlikely if not for climate change. Climate change means more extreme weather events, not just record heat. Last week, record cold gripped many parts of the U.S. It was so cold during the NFL playoff game between Kansas City and Miami that Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ helmet shattered. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a climate change denier, warned Texans that they faced temperatures below freezing for “dozens of hours.” Voters in the Iowa caucuses traveled to local precincts in what the National Weather Service called “life-threatening cold.” It was 10 below zero in Des Moines, and wind chills were as low as 35 below.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced a new climate change record that no one was looking forward to: There were 28 weather-related disasters in 2023 in which damage totaled more than $1 billion. The previous high was 22, set in 2020. Since 2017, more than 5,000 people have died in the United States as the result of $137 billion in weather-related disasters. In 2023, those events included destructive hail, flooding, cyclones, tornadoes, wildfires, drought, winter storms and heat waves, at a total cost of over $90 billion. The costliest event was a drought and heat wave in the South and Midwest that caused $14.5 billion in damage. The cost of last year’s weather-related disasters was almost double what Congress approved for climate resilience in the 2021 infrastructure bill. Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire and Texas recorded their warmest year ever in 2023, while Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Vermont and Virginia had their secondwarmest. Louisiana had its eighth-driest year on record, while Maine had its fifth-wettest. On June 20, the temperature in San Angelo, Texas, reached a high of 114 degrees, an all-time record there. In

round here, it will mean steep increases in the price of home insurance.

July, Phoenix had an average temperature of 102.8, the hottest month ever recorded in an American city. On July 16, the temperature in Death Valley, California, was 128 — and it was still 120 at midnight. On Aug. 24, the “feels-like” heat index in Chicago was 120. Locally, severe rainstorms and wind over the weekend of Jan. 6-7 and again on Jan. 9 caused flooding and erosion. Waves as high as 20 feet washed away parts of Long Island beaches. Climate change is rocking the home insurance industry, with price increases falling on homeowners. In California, climate-worsened wildfires led to an $8.5 billion increase in home insurance costs, and State Farm and Allstate stopped issuing new homeowner insurance policies. In Florida and Louisiana, homeowners in hurricaneprone areas have also been unable to purchase insurance. Since January 2022, homeowners in 31 states have had double-digit rate increases, and in six states those increases topped 20 percent. More than 25 percent of properties in New York City, including half of Brooklyn, and 80 percent of properties in Suffolk County, are considered at risk of flooding, and homeowners face steep insurance increases.

How are you doing, Long Island?

t was a simple question: “How is everybody doing?” For any of us on social media, this is a question we see a lot. But in this particular case, it wasn’t just anyone asking. It was Elmo. You know, the famous childlike Muppet who has been a “Sesame Street” staple since 1985, and who created a mad rush in the late 1990s for toys that encouraged kids to tickle him. Like many of the characters we grew up with on the children’s education series, Elmo has his own account on platforms like Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter. He follows just a dozen people — other characters like Cookie Monster, Big Bird and Oscar the grouch — but Elmo is followed by more than a half-million people. Many of his posts are birthday wishes to his Sesame Street neighbors like Bert’s best friend, Ernie, or sharing how much he enjoys his life in his fictional neighborhood. But Elmo also cares about those who take the time to read his occasional posts. So it was no surprise when he let everyone know “Elmo is just checking in!” And more than 200 million people saw it, with a large number of celebrities, other kid-themed characters, and even President Biden chiming in. But it was the everyday people — like us — whom Elmo noticed first. “Elmo, I’m depressed and broke,” one follower replied. “My dog passed away three weeks ago,” another follower shared. “Me and my fiancée are still grieving. Prayers would be appreciated.” “I really, really try to be happy and

Need help? There are always resources available to you, 24/7 — many of which will allow you to maintain your anonymity and not cost you anything. ■ National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: (800) 273-8255 ■ Long Island Crisis Center: (516) 679-1111, or dial 988 ■ Nassau County Behavioral Health Awareness Campaign: (516) 227-8255 ■ New York State Office of Mental Health: (877) 846-7369, or text 467369 ■ Crisis Text Line: from a mobile phone, text the word “HOME” to 741741 strong at work,” someone else said. “But sometimes it’s just too much, Elmo. I’m struggling.” After years of a crushing pandemic, ever-increasing polarization in politics, and wars raging overseas, we as a society have had better days when it comes to mental health. A gallup poll surveying more than 5,000 people in all 50 states revealed that depression is on the rise, especially in women and young adults. Women may have been hit extra hard, gallup research director Dan Witters told ABC News at the time, because many were forced to leave work and return home when their children were forced to attend school remotely. Also, many

Letters Suozzi is the right choice To the Editor: I endorse Tom Suozzi. As a congressman, mayor and Nassau County executive, he has represented a proud tradition of service. He championed better health care, gun safety laws, a reduction in the cost of prescription drugs, fair tax policy, and protection of our natural resources, such as the Long Island Sound. However, the challenges the voters in the special election on Feb. 13 now face include national controversies. We are challenged by a Republican-majority Congress that doesn’t take action on immigration policies, and which holds hostage aid to our allies. We are challenged by referendums on a woman’s right to choose and a worker’s right to strike. These national and local issues can be solved by representatives like Tom Suozzi, who have a calm voice and an open mind, and will most certainly steer us to solutions. JANET RIgER Great Neck

women were on the front lines of the pandemic in our health care facilities, seeing firsthand the horrors Covid-19 brought. Combating these feelings isn’t easy, but it is possible. The Long Island Crisis Center, for example, tackles this through its “Better Can Happen” campaign. The organization describes it as a grass-roots movement that “works to spread hope and highlight simple ways” for people to help make Long Island a better, friendlier place to live and work. It does this through five primary tenets: Know better, feel better, say it better, do better and give better. That means knowing the signs of depression or even suicidal thoughts — which you can learn more about at LongIslandCrisisCenter. org/bettercanhappen. Seeking help when you need it through resources like simply dialing 988. Finding ways to talk about mental health without attaching a stigma to it. And, of course, donating time and money to keep these services going, whether it’s with the crisis center or a number of other fantastic organizations in our community. More often than not, it starts with a simple question we don’t ask each other enough: How are you doing? “Wow! Elmo is glad he asked,” the Muppet said on X several thousand replies later. “Elmo learned that it is important to ask a friend how they are doing. Elmo will check in again soon, friends! Elmo loves you.” Just when we think we’re too old to learn something from a show that defined our childhoods, Elmo shows we have so much to learn. And we can begin by simply asking, “How are you doing, Long Island?”

opinions

he history of America’s relationship with the indigenous peoples who lived here before the arrival of European settlers has been fraught with sugarcoating, obfuscation, and downright ignorance. On Long Island — where so many of our communities still bear the names of the native tribes that were here for millennia — that history continues to remain hidden and untaught, despite the fact that numerous municipalities still claim to “honor” the legacy of these tribes through school wiLL team and village sHeeLine logos that feature stereotypical headdresses and depictions of Native Americans. Before the Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano first saw what would become known as Long Island in 1524, there were tens of thousands of indigenous peoples living here, largely in peaceful co-existence among 13 tribes along the coasts of the island. These were the Canarsee, Corchaug, Manhasset, Marsapeague, Matinecock, Merrick, Montaukett, Nesaquake, Rockaway, Secatogue, Setauket, Shinnecock and Unkechaug. They inhabited the land for more than 10,000 years, and were expert fishers and clammers who relied on the abundant fish, lobsters, clams and even whales to supplement the food they got through

hunting and the harvesting of corn. The various tribes had different names for the island they called home: Paumanok, Lepanehoking, Sewanhacky and Wamponomon — the last two referencing the abundance of wampum, or shells, from local clams used for decoration or currency. The tribes themselves were closely related to several different nations from the surrounding land, with the majority of the western Long Island tribes speaking Algonquian dialects. The Algonquian people, at their height, stretched up and down the northeastern United States and into Canada. Their people, traded goods and culture traveled from Lake Superior to the Long Island Sound. The indigenous people of eastern Long Island spoke a Lenape-Munsee dialect, showing their connection to the Lenape communion, a group of hundreds of tribes stretching from delaware to the Hudson Valley. Through their Lenape heritage, the eastern Long Island tribes were linked to the Powhatan Federation, famous for the daughter of one of their chieftains, Pocahontas, and their relationship with the Jamestown colonists. In addition to the sustenance they acquired from the animals and crops of the region, the various tribes were also accomplished artists and musicians, particularly with the use of wampum shells for decorative pieces, and weaved elabo-

rate and finely made clothing and blankets. They also made ornamental pottery, stamped with decorative designs, and traded these goods across the Sound and along the East Coast. Since the beginning of white settlement on Long Island, roughly 90 percent of native people have been killed — either intentionally or incidentally — by colonists, through everything from violence to disease to loss of native wildlife and land displacement. The majority of tribes disappeared from Long Island before the Revolutionary War, and in the centuries since, a number of American historians have attempted to whitewash the presence and impact of Native Americans here. despite this, they still played a key role in Long Island’s early history, particularly in the close relationship between the Montaukett and the English settlers of what is now Suffolk County. When Long Island became a center for the whaling industry in the 18th and 19th centuries, many natives were hired for their bravery, strength and long history of whaling in their respective cultures. A Shinnecock man named Eleazar was the first Native American to enter Japanese territory while serving as a crewman aboard the whaling vessel Manhattan, which anchored in Tokyo Bay while on an expedition in 1845. Nowadays, there are only two reservations for indigenous tribes on Long Island

t’s our duty, as Americans and as human beings, to honor native tribes’ heritage.

Letters The blame lies with the Palestinians To the Editor: For many years, the Palestinian Arabs have played the victim card, and now they have the new audience they crave because their old friends have gotten the message. Their new audiences is the Americans, who are gullible, ready to listen and repeat their lies and distortions. They don’t want you to know they’re pariahs in much of the world, and especially among other Arabs. They accuse Israel of being like the Nazis, but it was the Palestinian Arabs who were Hitler’s allies. They won’t tell you that Kuwait, who had given them sanctuary, banished 250,000 of them after the Kuwaitis discovered that the Palestinian Arabs’ sympathies were with Saddam Hussein. The Jordanians, whose country was carved from the “Palestine Mandate,” controlled the West Bank for years. They didn’t create a Palestinian state then because they knew what terrible neighbors they would be. After its 1967 victory, Israel pleaded with Egypt to take back control of Gaza. No way! was the very fast response. Lebanon will not permit Palestinian Arabs to leave the 12 functioning refugee camps on its land. It will not let them assimilate into its culture, fearing how disruptive they are.

— the Shinnecock Reservation, in Southampton, and the Poospatuck Reservation, in Mastic. The descendants of many of the tribes still live throughout the United States, forced to occupy reservations as far from their homeland as Oklahoma. This is just the tip of the iceberg of native Long Island history and culture. The best way to honor them and their legacy is by educating ourselves on their history and finding ways to support the descendants of these tribes, whose land we now live on. Anyone interested in preserving and honoring native culture can promote and patronize indigenous-owned businesses and places that educate on the history of the local tribes — such as the Shinnecock Nation Cultural Center and Museum, in Southampton — and support increase funding for local school districts to include academic courses and cultural opportunities so our children understand the peoples who lived here before their ancestors. While we may not have been taught much about them, the native tribes of Long Island are an integral part of our communities’ history. It is our duty — as both Americans and human beings — to not only honor their heritage, but also to uplift their voices and educate ourselves on their proud history and tradition. Both because it is the right thing to do, and because there is still so much for us to learn.

Framework by Mallory Wilson

The Palestinian Arabs have started war after war, lost them all and are still crying “Foul!” They charge Israel with apartheid in the West Bank, but conveniently disregard the fact that their prospective charter calls for an Arab country where no Jews would be allowed. On Oct. 7 they beheaded children, raped women, killed participants at an outdoor concert, slayed 1,200 innocents and took more that 200 hostages. But they say they themselves are the victims — of genocide, no less. They make no connection between the attack on innocent Israelis and the fact that Israel has a right to defend and protect itself. We know they are manipulative and delusional, using the U.N. as their GoFundMe, but it has gotten out of hand. They Palestinian Arabs don’t want a state. That takes effort, labor, brains, determination, guts and responsibility. Israel and the U.N. built most of the housing in Gaza, and the U.N. provides food, fuel and other necessities, while the Palestinian Arabs contribute nothing. They claim no knowledge of the hundreds of miles of sophisticated tunnels beneath their streets, homes, hospitals, mosques and schools. They were shocked! Until they knew it was time for them to call for a ceasefire. Their former allies know the deadly games they play. How long will it take the Americans to wise up? The clock is ticking.
