Vigil in G.C. calls for peace in Ukraine BY WILLIAM SHEELINE llane@liherald.com
Roni Chastain/Herald
JOLANTA ZAMECKA, A vice chair of the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County, helped organize a vigil in Glen Cove that drew a large crowd.
A crowd of roughly 400 gathered last Sunday in front of the Killenworth mansion in Glen Cove to protest the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Owned by Russia, Killenworth is used as a retreat by diplomats and their families, although it was not clear if anyone was there on Sunday. People came from all over Long Island, and some came from as far away as New Jersey, to peacefully condemn the actions of Russian President
Vladimir Putin. They were also there in solidarity, expressing support for the Ukrainian people. For two hours, what was referred to as a “vigil” included emotional speeches by elected leaders and Ukrainian-Americans. The crowd was diverse, with some waving Ukrainian flags and holding sunflowers, which have become a symbol of the Ukrainian struggle. Others raised signs bearing slogans like “Stop the Bloodshed” and “Putin is a Murderer,” in English and Ukrainian. Many had CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
Sea Cliff Village Museum to reopen this weekend BY CHUYAN JIANG llane@liherald.com
There will be a lot to see when the Sea Cliff Village Museum reopens on Saturday. Considered a village gem by many residents, it has been closed for nine months because of the coronavirus pandemic and for renovations. The museum has a new air conditioning system and new LED lighting, and in addition to the permanent collection on the second floor, it has added new paintings and relocated its gift shop to the entrance. And there is a new exhibit,
“Sea Cliff ’s Waterfront in the Resort Era 1890-1920,” a collection of photographs, textiles and memorabilia from a period when Sea Cliff was bustling with commercial and recreational activity. “By the 1890s, Sea Cliff had become known as a summer resort,” museum Director Courtney Chambers said. “It was easy to get to from New York City, and there were a lot of summer residents who would take a cottage for the summer or stay in a hotel for the summer in Sea Cliff.” After the turn of the 20th century, the village also became a destination for weekend excursions, Chambers added. “People
“Sea Cliff’s Waterfront in the Resort Era 1890-1920” Sea Cliff Village Museum 95 Tenth Ave. Sea Cliff would take steamers out to Sea Cliff from the city or from Westchester,” she said. “So we’re just trying to capture that brief moment of time.” The hope is that the exhibit will spark visitors’ interest in
the village’s history. “Sea Cliff now is sort of a bedroom community,” Chambers said. “But at the time, it was this really fabulous resort destination. You look at the pictures of the waterfront … and it was so different, and yet in another way, just exactly the same, because the physical landscape really hasn’t changed. So I think
it’s exciting to see Sea Cliff as it was and compare it to how it is now.” The exhibition highlights a donation the museum received last summer, a uniform and suitcase that once belonged to Capt. Bertram Scholes, of the Life Saving Service of the City of New York. He belonged to the Sea CONTINUED ON PAGE 8
