They gather to honor the fallen Hundreds march in — or watch — annual Memorial Day Parade

By BRANdoN CRUZ Correspondent

Brandon Cruz/Herald

THE UNIoNdAlE FIRE Department marched in the community’s annual Memorial Day Parade on Monday.

Hundreds of Uniondale residents g athered along Uniondale Avenue on Monday for the town’s annual Memorial Day Parade and ceremony, paying tribute to those who gave their life in service to the country.

The parade began at Uniondale High School, where the district’s marching bands, c h e e rl e a d e r s a n d j u n i o r Reserve Officers Training Corps as well as the Uniondale Fire Department’s junior firefighters and other first

responders g athered and marched just over a mile to Uniondale Park, where the ceremony was held.

Community members lined the parade route, waving and cheering as student musicians played marches, and others danced. A phalanx of fire trucks and ambulances blared their sirens to the beat of popular songs, while spectators joined in singing along and filling the air with laughter and cheers as first responders marched down the street, basking in the vocal admiration of the residents they Continued on page 4

Neighbors assess the impact of county’s Sands decision Latest move opens door for Coliseum development to move forward

By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com

Now that the Nassau County Legislature has approved the transfer of the Hub lease to Las Vegas Sands, Uniondale organizations and residents are assessing the potential impact, especially if New York state approves a casino license for the planned integrated resort.

“This particular developer has the capacity and the will to really strengthen the community,” said Jeannine Maynard, a recently retired social worker and a proponent of the Sands

project.

Opponents, however, say they believe the Sands development’s impact on the community could be a negative one.

“The casino makes money by taking money,” said Pearl Jacobs, president of the Nostrand Gardens Civic Association, “and Sands is going to recoup that money from the people who can least afford that money.”

Uniondale has seen nearly 15 years of developers’ efforts to reshape the unused 71-plus acres surrounding the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, includ-

ing the $4 billion Lighthouse project proposed by co-developers Charles Wang and Scott Rechler of RXR in 2009. The Lighthouse proposal struggled to get past environmental and zoning issues. In 2020, Florida developer Nick Mastroianni II took over the Hub lease, but the Covid pandemic eviscerated his plans.

Visions for the Hub have included a major convention center, a five-star hotel, renovation of the Coliseum, and expansion of retail, business and residential space.

To those visions, the Sands proposal would add a high-end

performance venue with at least 3,600 seats, as well as a casino that would be open 24/7 hours, with an expectation of 20,000 visitors per day.

“From the local community viewpoint here, I see it as being unmanageable traffic,” Uniondale Community Council member Kathleen Lyons, a retired

teacher, said. “Unless we do Disneyland monorails, I don’t know what we’ll do about the traffic on Hempstead Turnpike and other streets in the area.”

Lyons said she didn’t think that businesses in Uniondale would benefit from the developContinued on page 15

Living in a world after the Covid-19 pandemic

By MICHAEL HINMAN

Unwinding Covid

mhinman@liherald.com

The country officially returned to normal on May 11 with the end of the federal public health emergency surrounding Covid-19 — but for many, it’s been pretty close to normalcy for months.

Virtually no one asks for proof of vaccination. Masks, while occasionally seen, have found themselves primarily back on the faces of medical professionals. And the floor markings intended to help people put six feet of distance from their neighbors have almost faded into time.

Yet, the federal end to the emergency is far from ceremonial. Washington has stopped buying vaccines and treatment, although plenty of supplies already purchased remain on-hand. It once again became more difficult to qualify for Medicaid — something that has loosened significantly at the height of the pandemic. However, states like New York isn’t expected to address eligibility at the more local level until later this summer.

And, of course, many of the financial assistance programs that had almost become commonplace are long gone, but free vaccines for children remain thanks to efforts by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Pfizer and Moderna — the two major pharmaceutical companies that supplied most of the country’s vaccine doses — vow they’ll continue providing free vaccines to those who can’t afford it, or don’t have the insurance to cover it.

Covid

This week — and in the coming weeks — the Herald is exploring local life in a post-pandemic world. We’re following up on the heroes and the stories that filled these pages from the very beginning of the pandemic lockdown, to the height of the virus invasion, to the aftermath. All with the hope we never have to experience such troubled times ever again.

Laura Lane/Herald file

NANCy CAsALE stops to thank pulmonary rehabilitation director Lynda Torel outside the Glen Cove Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation last July, after battling Covid-19 and its aftermath for months. Nancy never let her age — 95 — stand in the way.

Much closer to home, government officials with Nassau County as well as the towns of Hempstead and Oyster Bay, had nothing to say about the pandemic. County Executive Bruce Blakeman went after mask mandates — especially in schools — within minutes of being sworn in more than a year ago.

“The governor should adhere to the law, follow the science, and allow local officials to decide what is best for their hometown communities,” Blakeman said at the time. “Nassau is not in crisis, and shouldn’t be painted with the same broad brush as the rest of New York state.”

And more local programs, like the Household Assistance Program that offered a $375 per household grant from federal funds, as well as the Emergency Rental Assistance Program — ended last fall, with a lot of the money unclaimed.

In the end, nearly 6.7 million positive cases were reported statewide, with New York City accounting for nearly half of that with 3.1 million cases. Long Island reported 1.1 million cases, while 5,346 people in Nassau County died.

Nearly 85 percent of people in Nassau received at least one vaccine shot, representing more than 1.1 million people — the best overall percentage in the state, behind the 88 percent from Queens and Manhattan.

One woman the coronavirus would not defeat was Nancy Casale of Wantagh. Last year, the then-95-year-old walked out of the Glen Cove Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation on her own power, after months of fighting Covid-19 and its aftermath.

“Nancy is a wonderful soul, said Lynda Torel from the Glen Cove center. “At 95, she’s energetic, eager and willing — all the qualities that make her a fighter. She’s been on a fantastic journey. She never said ‘no.’”

Mentors, mentees gather for lunch at Domus

UNIONDALE HERALD BEACON — June 1, 2023

By MALLORY WILSON mwilson@liherald.com

M

eaningful connections between students and mentors were celebrated during the Nassau County Bar Association Mentor Program luncheon wrapping up the 26th year of the program that helps local elementary and middle school students.

The event, hosted at Domus, the bar association headquarters in Mineola, included a menu suitable for youngsters and the young at heart featuring macaroni and cheese, pizza, chicken fingers, french fries and lemonade, For 26 years, the Bar Association mentored students in the late-elementary and middle school levels at Woodland and Clarke middle schools in East Meadow; Great Neck North and South middle schools; Schultz Middle School in Hempstead; Jackson Main and Barack Obama elementary schools in Hempstead; Jericho Middle School; Turtle Hook Middle School in Uniondale; Grand Avenue Elementary School in Uniondale; and Westbury Middle School.

“This program has been in existence for more than a quarter of a century,” Rosalia Baiamonte, the president of the Nassau County Bar Association told the students. “I want you all to know students, that it is a joy for us to have you here and for us to be conducted in your lives in the way that we are, and we hope that you derive as much joy and learning from this as we do from hosting you here.”

Dorian Segure, a law and civic responsibility teacher at Schultz Middle School in Hempstead, was given an award recognizing his outstanding service to the mentor program.

“I have the most pleasing opportunity at this moment to present an award to a man who thinks like a man of action, but acts like a man of thought,” Dorian Glover, an attorney who mentors students at Barack Obama Elementary School in Hempstead, said. “He’s one who on a daily basis shares our beloved profession of law and courts to young people, and if he has touched one person — and we know he has — he has improved our lives in our community.”

Segure brought two students from Hempstead High School, juniors Angie Rivera and Glendy Hernandez, who have gone through the program as middle school students and are now mentoring students in high school.

“It’s really inspirational,” Rivera said.

“It’s great work to help students. It’s amazing and me honestly, I love it just being able to see the students grow.

“My brother is a part of the program now in middle school and it’s really nice to see him mature and grow as a person.”

The program has some important names on its roster taking on the roll of mentors. Maxine Broderick, a judge for the Nassau County District Court in the 10th judicial district, has been a mentor at Barack Obama since the beginning.

“I grew up in and was born and raised in the village of Hempstead so I wanted to make a contribution to my local neigh-

borhood,” Broderick said. “There can be a lot of negativity about young people in the Village of Hempstead so when I actually got into the schools; I found out that these kids are great, they’re very eager.”

Randi Bernstein, a guidance counselor at Clarke Middle School said she loves to see the connections the kids make with their mentors.

“I believe it’s a wonderful thing,” Bernstein said. “Students need someone who is a good role model, and talking to someone who’s been successful — it works.”

Grand Avenue Elementary is a recent addition to the program.

Nadine Patterson, a social worker at the school shared that there is heavy emphasis on mentoring in the building, and they’ve had other mentor programs for over 20 years.

“Mentoring is always good, and it’s always a great opportunity for kids to meet outsiders from the school,” Patterson said. “We were so happy to have this collaboration.”

Lee told the Herald he was honored to be invited, and happy that so many residents showed their support. “Having

New window to history at historic St. George’s

By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com

A cemetery that dates to the 18th century will have a historic marker containing a map of the graves surrounding St. George’s Episcopal Church will be unveiled on Sunday.

Known for the 522-foot white picket fence surrounding its cemetery, St. George’s is a historical touchstone, not only for historians, but for everyone living in Hempstead Village and its environs.

The cemetery has graves dating to at least 1738. The creation of the map is a fascinating story.

Sadly, on many of the cemetery’s 500plus headstones, the engraved names have become too weathered to read. Founding settlers’ names, like Hewlett, Bedell, and Carman, are fading, and many headstones are broken.

Several years ago, historian Amy Vacchio discovered that original inhabitants of historic Rock Hall in Lawrence were buried at St. George’s.

Rock Hall was built in 1767 by a retired Antigua plantation owner named Josiah Martin. Martin’s home became a Town of Hempstead museum in 1953. Vacchio is the current director.

Every week, Martin and his family worshiped at the only Anglican church around—St. George’s, a two-hour journey

Reine Bethany/Herald

THE HIsToRIc sIgN created by Rock Hall Museum for St. George’s graveyard was installed by members of St. George’s. It will remain covered until it is unveiled on June 4. by horse and carriage. Eventually, Martin himself was buried there.

“There is so much history here,” Vacchio said, “not only of Hempstead and Nassau County, but of the American Revolution and the history of our country. For years I have watched the stones deteriorate and thought, if I don’t do something, we will lose this important historical and cultural resource.”

Restoring St. George’s disintegrating grave markers would be an expensive,

long-term project. Mapping the names on all of the graves, while difficult, was much more within reach.

With Matt Longo, a colleague at Rock Hall Museum, Vacchio obtained a grant and got started. During 2021 and 2022, in concert with then-rector Rev. Ajung Sojwal, Vacchio and Longo plumbed old documents contained in the church, including a graveyard map done by Boy Scouts in 1935.

“These families provide the genesis story of the Town of Hempstead, and

their gravestones are primary sources that resist archival control,” Longo said.

“A graveyard allows the community the opportunity to take a stroll through history. I want my research to be as available to the public as these gravestones.”

The result of their efforts, in addition to the physical map to be unveiled on Sunday, is a website called HistoricStGeorgeCemetery.org.

The physical map includes a QR code that takes visitors to the website.

The website explains the mapping project, provides an alphabetical list of the names on the headstones, and shows the location of each grave.

Visitors can also access the website either at HistoricStGeorgeCemetery.org or through FriendsofRockHall.org.

The parish of St. George’s has welcomed the project.

“It will be good because we do have visitors coming to visit the area for its history,” said facilities manager Bill Johnson.

“It’s especially helpful for people who come to look for their ancestors among the headstones.”

“Every tomb is a story waiting to be told,” said Vacchio, “and I hope to tell it.”

The unveiling will occur just after noon at St. George’s, 319 Front Street, in Hempstead, on June 4, where the map has already been installed beside the church building.

ThE PRiDE CAPTuRED the Colonial Athletic Association softball title in walk-off fashion, beating Towson, 5-4, after trailing late by two runs.

Hofstra softball regains championship form

By ANDREW COEN sports@liherald.com

The Hofstra softball team captured its first Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) title since 2018 in dramatic fashion and in the process kept a tradition alive for the storied program.

The Pride, aided largely by five fifthyear players who used an extra year of eligibility due to the canceled 2020 season at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, made sure the freshman class from 2019 experienced the taste of a championship and an NCAA regionals appearance after knocking off Towson with a 5-4 walk-off victory on May 13. The come-from-behind win on Hofstra’s home turf of Bill Edwards Stadium in which the Pride trailed 4-2 in the sixth inning, kept the program’s streak going of every freshman class since the school’s first NCAA Tournament appearance in the early 1990s hoisting a championship trophy.

“We had a very special fifth year class who really wanted to be part of that championship culture,” said second-year Hofstra coach Adrienne Clark, who as a player led the Pride to four straight CAA titles from 2002 to 2005. “It was really incredible.”

One of Hofstra’s fifth-year players, Angelina Ioppolo, stepped up in the clutch with Hofstra trailing 4-3 with two outs in

the bottom of seventh when she delivered a two RBI bases loaded single to left field setting off a raucous celebration. The hit scored fellow fifth-year player Kasey Collins with the tying run with senior Chelsea Manto then crossing the plate to clinch Hofstra’s 13th CAA title and 21st conference championship overall.

Hofstra faced adversity in the 2023 CAA title run when it fell to that same Towson team 2-1 the previous day to put the Pride in the losers bracket of the double elimination tournament. After staying alive with a 9-8 win against Long Island rival Stony Brook on the evening of May 12, Hofstra forced a deciding game with another elimination win, 6-4, against Towson.

Fifth-year player Meghan Giordano stepped up in the CAA championship run with a key three-run homer in the first Towson win to produce some key insurance when the Pride were clinging to a 3-2 lead in the sixth inning. She then blasted a solo homer in the decisive game to tie the game 2-2 in the fourth inning.

One of the biggest hits in Hofstra’s CAA championship journey came off the bench from junior Brianna Morse when the Mepham High School graduate hit a leadoff double in the bottom of the seventh with the Pride trailing 4-3 to help spark the eventually winning rally.

“She is such an amazing athlete and

person,” Clark said of Morse. “We had a lot of unsung heroes on the team.”

Morse’s younger sister, Alanna Morse, had a standout freshman season starting at third base and produced three hits in Hofstra’s NCAA regional losses to Oklahoma and Cal.. The game against topseeded Oklahoma, who entered the tourney at 54-1, on the Sooners’ home field was broadcasted nationally on ESPNU. Another local talent who shined in the postseason was sophomore pitcher Anna Butler of Seaford, who threw two key innings of relief in the 9-8 Stony Brook win and also got time out of the bullpen in both of Hofstra’s NCAA regional games.

“She is extremely competitive in everything that she does,” Clark said of the Seaford High School graduate. “She did an incredible job of mixing up her pitches.”

While Hofstra was shut out in both of its NCAA tourney games against stiff competition, Clark hopes the experience pays dividends as she looks to grow the program back to when she was an assistant coach with the Pride decade ago and the team reached the NCAA super regionals.

“They were fearless in how they approached those games,” she said. “The experience of competing in a regional sets up the success of future teams.”

Despite the five-year look-back, New York law allows people to protect assets from nursing home costs, even without pre-planning. For single applicants, you may be able to save about half of the assets through the “gift and loan” strategy. For married couples, where one spouse needs a nursing home, “spousal refusal” may protect substantial amounts of assets for the spouse at home. These techniques are discussed in detail at trustlaw.com, under “Practice Areas”, then “Medicaid Strategies”.

The five-year look-back rule does not affect eligibility of Medicaid home care, also known as “community” Medicaid. Currently, an applicant may transfer their assets out of their name and still qualify for home care in the next month.

Many assets, such as retirement accounts, rental properties and the family home in some cases, are exempt from Medicaid. The bottom line is that if someone you love is in failing health, the sooner you consult an elder law attorney the more you will likely be able to save.

ETTINGER LAW FIRM ELDER LAW ESTATE PLANNING SINCE 1991

One of the most common and devastating misconceptions about elder law estate planning is that it is too late to save money from nursing home costs. On the contrary, there are crisis planning tools that may save substantial assets from being spent on nursing home costs, even after the client has already entered the nursing home. Almost always, if there are assets left, much can be saved.

There are only three ways to pay for nursing home costs – your own assets, long-term care insurance (owned by less than five percent of the population), or Medicaid provided by the government.

Many people know about the “five-year look-back period” and assume nothing can be done without advance planning. The five-year look-back rule means that if you gave any gifts away within the last five years, when asking for Medicaid to pay for expensive nursing home costs, the gift amount creates a penalty period, which results in a period of ineligibility for Medicaid coverage.

Some final notes:

Celebrated

South Shore

music director bids farewell

By Karen Bloom

Broadway comes to Long Island with Plaza Theatrical’s staging of ‘Mamma Mia,’ based on ABBA’s timeless songs. Journey to the Greek Isles in this jukebox musical. ABBA’s greatest hits are woven into the sunny tale, an ultimate feel-good show. On the eve of her wedding, a bride’s quest to discover her father’s identity brings three men from her mother’s past back to the place they last visited 20 years ago. Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA’s songs — from ‘Dancing Queen’ and ‘Take A Chance On Me,’ to ‘Super Trouper’ and ‘Thank you For the Music’ — an enchanting story of family and friendship unfolds.

Relive those ‘70s melodies in a joyous show that’ll have everyone humming along.

lobal resort developer Las Vegas Sands, Nassau Community College (NCC) and Long Island University (LIU) will partner to create a new, comprehensive hospitality program for Long Island’s college students.

Here’s what you should know about the program’s potential impact on the Long Island area.

It would create new career opportunities The strategic partnership will generate new career opportunities for students and graduates interested in hospitality management and culinary arts industries, both of which are expected to see significant local job growth if the proposed Sands resort and entertainment center is built.

“We are extraordinarily proud to be working with Long Island University and Nassau Community College to build a world-class hospitality program, creating new pathways to success for Long Islanders,” said Ron Reese Senior Vice President of Global Communications and Corporate Affairs for Las Vegas Sands. “We want to make sure that any Long Islander that has the desire to be part of this exciting new industry can build the skills and confidence to join us.”

Together, this collaboration will support sustainable job growth, economic development, and new career opportunities for students on Long Island and throughout the New York metropolitan region.

It would bridge a gap between LIU and NCC The partnership is helping build a bridge between the two colleges, empowering NCC graduates to advance their two-year associate’s degrees to four-year bachelor’s degrees at LIU’s nearby campus.

NCC is recognized for outstanding associate’s degrees, certificates, and workforce development programs in hospitality, culinary arts, business, humanities, nutrition, theater, and technology. The collaboration is expected to lead to programs in hotel and casino management, security and surveillance, meetings and banquets, entertainment, and food and beverage. Sands and NCC will explore a variety of learning models, including internship and experiential learning components for students.

With its proximity to the proposed Sands resort, the partnership makes plenty of sense for Nassau Community College.

“Our students will have the opportunity to master the craft of culinary arts inside a modern learning laboratory that is opening next year at 108 Duncan Avenue on the NCC campus in Garden City, New York,” said Dr. Maria Conzatti, acting president of Nassau Community College of the State University of New York. “NCC alumni with an associate’s degree who wish to further their education toward a bachelor’s degree in business hospitality and related majors can seamlessly transfer to one of the nation’s leading private institutions, Long Island University Post campus in Brookville, Nassau County.

portunities will translate into a wide range of economic and societal benefits to the Long Island community.”

It would add new areas of study at LIU Through the partnership, LIU will also seek approval for additional Bachelor’s and Master’s degree offerings that support in-demand careers in Hospitality Management and Culinary Arts.

Long Island University President Kimberly R. Cline supports the project because it will help create new areas of studies within the university.

“We are proud to partner with the Sands Corporation and Nassau Community College to build a stronger economic foundation for our region and create pathways to numerous career opportunities in hospitality and culinary arts,” she said.

It’s nothing new for Sands This partnership is an extension of Sands’ long history of partnering with educational organizations, investing to build a strong local workforce, and advancing the skills of the hospitality industry in the communities it calls home. The company’s hospitality education initiatives span contributions to higher education

institutions, scholarship programs, on-property and industry-supported training opportunities for students and hospitality professionals, and mentorship support from company leaders and experts.

Other examples of Sands’ collaborations with educational institutions include its relationship with Northampton Community College near its previously-owned resort in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. In Las Vegas, the company also co-founded and continues to support the Sands Center for Professional Education at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Harrah College of Hospitality. In addition, the company recently established a $1 million scholarship program to help advance hospitality careers in Singapore in conjunction with its iconic Marina Bay Sands resort, which also regularly hosts, trains and employs hospitality students onsite through a variety of developmental programs.

This public-private initiative would be contingent on the Sands being successful in securing the opportunity to develop a multi-billion-dollar resort complex on the site of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

About the project The project: Sands is proposing a Long Island integrated resort development that would include outdoor community spaces, luxury hotel rooms and a world-class live performance venue honoring the long legacy of live music at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

There’s more: The resort also would feature celebrity chef restaurants, experiential events and venues, and ballrooms with flexible meeting and conference space. Other planned amenities include high-quality casino gaming, representing less than ten percent of the project’s total square footage; a luxurious day spa; a swimming pool and health club; and a variety of other entertainment programming.

The Parisian Macao is the shimmering beacon of the Cotai Strip, inspired by the magic and wonder of the famed City of Light, including a half-scale authentic re-creation of the world-famous Eiffel Tower.

Nassau County Legislature OKs Sands land lease deal Last week, plans by Las Vegas Sands to redevelop more than 70 acres at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale took another leap forward as the Nassau County Legislature voted 17-1 to approve the land lease agreement the county unveiled last month.

"The overwhelming bipartisan approval of lease terms with the Sands by the County Legislature affirms that Nassau County has made the right decision," County Executive Bruce Blakeman said, in a statement. "This is the first hurdle to overcome to provide a world-class entertainment center with a luxury spa and hotel, creating thousands of jobs and economic prosperity for Nassau County."

It is an agreement that gives the Sands control over the land, where it intends to build a resort that would include hotels, a casino, outdoor community spaces, meeting and conference space, a performance venue and restaurants for $4 billion.

Within 60 days, the Sands will give the county an additional $54 million. After the casino opens, the county will be guaranteed $25 million in the first three years of operations, and $50 million per year thereafter, Blakeman said at the April news conference announcing the lease agreement.

New York State still needs to approve a gaming license to Las Vegas Sands.

"The approval granted today by the Nassau County legislature is an important step in our company's efforts to secure a New York gaming license and ultimately develop a worldclass hospitality, entertainment and gaming destination," Robert Goldstein, Sands chair and chief executive officer said in a statement.

portunities will translate into a wide range of economic and societal benefits to the Long Island community.”

It would add new areas of study at LIU Through the partnership, LIU will also seek approval for additional Bachelor’s and Master’s degree offerings that support in-demand careers in Hospitality Management and Culinary Arts.

Long Island University President Kimberly R. Cline supports the project because it will help create new areas of studies within the university.

“We are proud to partner with the Sands Corporation and Nassau Community College to build a stronger economic foundation for our region and create pathways to numerous career opportunities in hospitality and culinary arts,” she said.

It’s nothing new for Sands This partnership is an extension of Sands’ long history of partnering with educational organizations, investing to build a strong local workforce, and advancing the skills of the hospitality industry in the communities it calls home. The company’s hospitality education initiatives span contributions to higher education

institutions, scholarship programs, on-property and industry-supported training opportunities for students and hospitality professionals, and mentorship support from company leaders and experts.

Other examples of Sands’ collaborations with educational institutions include its relationship with Northampton Community College near its previously-owned resort in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. In Las Vegas, the company also co-founded and continues to support the Sands Center for Professional Education at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Harrah College of Hospitality. In addition, the company recently established a $1 million scholarship program to help advance hospitality careers in Singapore in conjunction with its iconic Marina Bay Sands resort, which also regularly hosts, trains and employs hospitality students onsite through a variety of developmental programs.

This public-private initiative would be contingent on the Sands being successful in securing the opportunity to develop a multi-billion-dollar resort complex on the site of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

About the project The project: Sands is proposing a Long Island integrated resort development that would include outdoor community spaces, luxury hotel rooms and a world-class live performance venue honoring the long legacy of live music at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

There’s more: The resort also would feature celebrity chef restaurants, experiential events and venues, and ballrooms with flexible meeting and conference space. Other planned amenities include high-quality casino gaming, representing less than ten percent of the project’s total square footage; a luxurious day spa; a swimming pool and health club; and a variety of other entertainment programming.

More than just philanthropy, Sands Cares manifests Sand’s dedication to working hand-in-hand with communities to inspire positive impact.

Below is a sampling of Sands Cares recent work in Nevada.

What to know about Green Our Planet’s hydroponics program Las Vegas-based Green Our Planet is the latest graduate of the Sands Cares Accelerator, a global initiative aimed at advancing nonprofits to deliver greater community impact. Coming out of the three-year journey, Green Our Planet is emerging with sustainable growth in its three Sands Cares Accelerator focus areas: growing its school hydroponics garden program, launching the HydroHealth corporate hydroponics garden program and improving its marketing capability.

Green Our Planet’s hydroponics program blossomed from 20 schools in Nevada to 200 schools in 33 states over the past three years, in part due to its work in the Sands Cares Accelerator.

The nonprofit’s other two focus areas of strengthening marketing and launching the corporate hydroponics garden program also contributed to this growth. As part of the new corporate program, every hydroponics garden purchased by a company funds a school hydroponics garden.

“We are now the largest science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) school garden and hydroponics program in the United States,” said

Ciara Byrne, founder and co-CEO of Green Our Planet. “We have been able to mature our organization and infrastructure to meet this growing demand in large part due to the financial support, guidance and mentoring we received through Sands Cares Accelerator.”

Inspired by Sands’ founder Sheldon G. Adelson, the Sands Cares Accelerator marries his legacies of creating successful businesses and giving back to communities through meaningful philanthropic involvement. During the threeyear membership, nonprofits focus on building their capacity in a strategic area or enhancing a program offering to better serve the community.

Sands serves as a catalyst and mentor for helping organizations achieve their goals.

“Sands and the Sands Cares Accelerator provided valuable partnership and inspiration during a crucial stage in our organization’s lifecycle,” Byrne said. “Because of the resources we received in this program, Green Our Planet is well positioned for long-term, sustainable growth.”

Minority Millennials declare they are future

By KEPHERD DANIEL kdaniel@liherald.com

They come from all walks of life, with diverse backgrounds and even more diverse plans for their individual futures. They are Minority Millennials, and they visited Hofstra University recently as a way to prepare to become tomorrow’s leaders.

The summit — which took place at the school’s David S. Mack Complex — was known as “We are the Future,” featuring sessions and presentations from a lineup of today’s thought leaders that included elected officials the state’s lieutenant governor, a number of New York City councilmembers, and Assemblywoman Taylor Darling.

The summit featured workshops and panel sessions designed to emphasize the importance of civic power, financial literacy, and taking on leadership roles.

It featured live programming aimed to promote civic power and economic freedom, all while educating and empowering Black and brown young people from across the five boroughs and Long Island.

Minority Millennials is a nonprofit civic and youth development organization founded in 2017, and serves as a resource for emerging generations of color as they seek equity in social, political and economic developments.

“We firmly believe the fundamental piece to economic freedom is ensuring young people of color are educated about the value of civic engagement.

Once a person understands their role in society and how powerful their voice is within a larger democracy, their leverage of power shifts, and their ability to develop both personally and professionally dramatically increases.”

In an effort to access inter-generational networking opportunities, the summit

included panel sessions and keynote presentations from New York City public advocate Jumaane Williams, as well as Suffolk County police commissioner Rodney Harrison, and Gen-Z activist Chelsea Miller.

“Coming up, the people who had the biggest impact on me and my future were the people who looked like me.

Who gave me a chance. And who led by example,” said Brooklyn borough president Antonio Reynoso, in a release. “I’m glad to see the We are the Future summit creating this opportunity, not just for young adults, but for the adults who have a responsibility to empower the next generation of change-makers.”

AT&T was a major supporter of the summit, providing 1,000 free tickets for Long Island, Bronx, and Brooklyn high school students to attend.

“AT&T is proud to support such an important and meaningful summit, and applauds the organizers and all of the esteemed presenters for their commitment to engage in meaningful conversation about the importance of civic responsibility,” said Magdalonie ParisCampbell, a spokeswoman for AT&T, in a release. “As a company that connects people across all aspects of life, we are thrilled to support this effort to engage so many New York City and Long Island youth with the opportunity to inspire them to be the next generation of changemakers and civic leaders.”

Results that Move You

One phone call, one order, one heck of a good price to run your ad in any state, or across the country.

A. A roof is one of the first things any home buyer should look at before a purchase. The slope of the land and the roof condition are very important.

Roof shingles are chosen depending on the slope of the roof. For example, a steeper slope will get greater wear due to the velocity of the running water, so a heavier onte eeper architectural shingle is my first choice. Thinner shingles can be used on less sloped roofs, although I recommend the longerlasting, more heavily constructed shingles for steep and low slopes anyway, because they tend to last longer.

If the slope of the roof is less than 3 inches vertically for every 12 inches horizontally, called a 3-in12 pitch, then you should pay more attention to the underlayment. You should pay more, and get the self-adhering, flexible membrane, often referred to as “ice and water shield,” although that is actually a trade name of W.R. Grace. The code refers to the membrane as “ice barrier underlayment.”

The current building code allows for roofing shingles on a 2-inch to 12-inch pitch, but be mindful that building codes establish the minimum requirement, and failure can easily occur on a lower sloping roof when ice forms and water pools and backs up under the shingles and through the hundreds of nail holes that were made when the shingles were nailed into place. Flexible membrane underneath has performed very well over the life of roofing, and grips the nails to limit leaking, but be safe and have the membrane installed across the entire roof.

The code requires only that the membrane be installed around the perimeter edges of the roof and on either side of the roof ridge.

As for cutting the valleys — the troughs where the roofs join — I understand that many roofers like the look and believe that seeing the clean metal valley is better because the water runs faster, but the tradeoff is that any time you cut a material and create a joint, the possibility for water penetration is increased. Ice and snow buildup in the valley can cause water to dam and get into the roof.

I recommend weaving the valleys by alternating the shingles and not exposing the valley trough, which should still be installed underneath the woven shingles, over membrane, because, as I have often written, redundancy is the most important thing in construction to prevent leaks. Have the gutters installed so that the downspouts are attached at corners, on trim. It’s a cleaner look.

Good luck in your new home!

The finer points of roofing

Q. We finally found a home and have fixing-up to do. The first thing is new roofing. We interviewed roofers. One told us he “cuts” in the valleys where the roof meets, and another said he would not recommend that. What do you recommend, and are there other things we should know? The gutters are old and sagging, and not really draining, either.

L

ong Islanders have all kinds of non-romantic love affairs. They love their school boards, their teachers and their garbage collectors, and they even show some love for their utility companies. But when things go wrong, the love affair is over. That applies especially to the companies that provide electricity, gas or cable service.

The shortest of the love affairs is when the lights go out for a long period of time.

The problems with lighting companies date back to the early 1960s, when the Long JERRY Island Lighting Company was KREMER Public Enemy No. 1. Those of you who were living on Long Island at the time should remember that just uttering the word LILCO would get somebody mad. It was a powerful organization that had many friends in high places, but it made mistake after mistake, and its ratepayers wanted heads to roll. The company’s biggest calamity was when power was knocked out for weeks while its chair-

O

man was in Italy. He didn’t come home until it was too late, and that was the moment of truth.

For the following 20 years, ratepayers demonstrated, howled, screamed and went to war against LILCO, demanding that the state take it over. In 1988, Gov. Mario Cuomo signed a bill establishing the Long Island Power Authority, whose sole purpose was to take over LILCO and keep the lights on forever. LIPA bought out LILCO, and took over its workforce and operations.

LIPA did a decent job, but it was always understood that someday the Long Island operation would be contracted out to a larger utility company.

Around 2010, LIPA decided to publicly ask the utility industry to consider operating on the island. Two companies, Con Edison and Public Service Electric and Gas, offered to become the power provider. Con Ed was well known, but many new arrivals from New York City had a bad taste in their mouths from its service, and PSEG began to get serious consideration. It had a lot of friends in high places, and in a short time won the con-

B

tract to provide electrical power to Long Island’s 1.3 million residents. The utility got a bad break when, two days after its contract took effect, the Island was hit with a major snowstorm, but we Islanders can be very forgiving, and PSEG was spared any criticism.

The romance with PSEG continued for quite some time, until we had three 100year storms in one year.

Thousands of ratepayers were without power for weeks, and the company’s response was slow and inefficient. Part of the reason it was unable to get its customers post-storm relief was the aged power system.

Its communication operation, as well, was antiquated, and the grid had to be made stronger and more efficient. That took money, and that meant rate increases. PSEG began taking long-overdue steps such as massive tree trimming, but the bonds of love had already broken.

Over the past few years, there has been a new effort to get the state to consider letting the power system be managed locally again, but with a whole new approach: municipalization, which means that LIPA would be overseen by a

ut giving neighbors the power to dictate to professionals is dangerous.

whole new bunch of local citizens who would be responsible for its operation.

The state created a commission and gave it $2 million for hearings and consultants. To date, the process has fallen flat, and it will be some time before it gets moving ahead again.

There are two things wrong with the drive to let John Q. Citizen run the power system. First of all, why not sit down with other power companies and see if they are willing to be the operators? It’s possible that we can find a company with the credentials to keep the lights on without jumping into some untested, citizenrun operation.

Second, even if we can’t immediately find a suitor, giving a group of local neighbors the power to dictate to professionals is a very dangerous move. Long Islanders don’t ask for much in the course of the average day. They need their lights to stay on, and the best way to accomplish that is to have people running our system who know what they’re doing.

Summer reading: To escape or go deep?

f course, we must have a summer to take up the subject of summer reading. Which reminds me of a great book about Krakatoa, which was blown to oblivion in 1883 when a volcano erupted, creating what became known as the year without a summer. The book “Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded,” by Simon Winchester, explains that the massive volume of debris thrown into the atmosphere darkened the world for months, not just in Indonesia, but around the globe.

Anyway, what I RANDI was saying is that KREISS we’ve had plenty of chill winds this spring, but the days ahead look promising. If you’re still in indoor mode, you might pick up Winchester’s book and commiserate with the millions of people in the 19th century who lived in the shade of Krakatoa.

I would put that book in the category of “escape,” and I would add a few to the list for those reading to run away. Heaven knows, many of us have our traveling pants on. I feel as if I could become one

of those people who eventually combusts from the pressure of awful news in the world and starts screaming at the TV or running down the street with my hair on fire. When I was a kid, my escape from stress was reading, and it still is. Still, it’s so hard to concentrate when I see with my own eyes glaciers the size of Rhode Island breaking off the Antarctic continent.

But we must persist.

Add to the escape literature a blockbuster by a prince of a guy, Harry, the Duke of Sussex. He narrates “Spare,” the audible version of his memoir, in a warm and ironic voice. His tone is intimate and his affect is humble. The royals are an endless source of skullduggery and palace intrigue. This book is infused with tasty morsels of delicious gossip.

Also, pick up “Priestdaddy,” by Patricia Lockwood, the comic memoir of her childhood in a rectory as the daughter of a priest. She uses her own life as copy, and she gets why it would be an entertaining subject even for those of us whose fathers aren’t priests but just fathers.

One more on that list would be “The

B

Possibility of Life,” by Jaime Green, on the search for other life in the universe.

Think of it as the ultimate escape: Who’s out there, and how can we make contact?

Spoiler alert: They won’t come in human form.

If distraction and escape aren’t possible, if you’re too consumed by the political and cultural moment, then just give in and read deeply and widely so you can broaden your base of information and at least understand why the world is going to hell.

I’m leaning toward nonfiction and short stories these days. Try “The Great Leveler,” by Walter Scheidel. In this wellreviewed nonfiction book, he argues that only catastrophes like pandemics and great, violent upheavals like world wars can ever address economic inequality. Hey, you’re depressed anyway — might as well be educated as to why.

“The Soul of America,” by the great Jon Meacham, is a glorious history that basically asks, over many illuminating pages: How do we save our democracy?

“The Naked Don’t Fear the Water,” by Matthieu Aikins, is a timely and telling

roaden your base of info, and understand why the world is going to hell.

nonfiction account of an American soldier who goes back to Afghanistan after the war. His mission is to find the man who worked with him in country and help him escape.

“Tenth of December,” on the other hand, is both escapist and deep. The short stories by George Saunders — author of the popular and weird “Lincoln in the Bardo” — are challenging, but you can do it. They require concentration and focus, and that’s a good thing, because it means you may be able to tune out the news. I can’t begin to explain the stories; they defy summarizing. But I urge you to read them and absorb what Saunders has to say about our American culture.

Finally, you can read any number of books about the rise of Donald Trump, the end of civility in America, the undermining of our democracy and the threat of totalitarianism. But if you truly want to examine the real possibilities of the past serving as prologue to the present, try a nonfiction masterpiece, “Hitler,” by Ian Kershaw. One critic called it “mesmerizing,” and said that what was most amazing was the number of opportunities when Hitler might have been stopped in his mad rise to power. Nuf said.

Learn about dementia, for your sake and others’

M

emory loss is common as we get older. Going to the grocery store and forgetting what you went there for. Trying to remember the name of an actor from your favorite movie. Even panicking because you have no idea where you left your keys.

These are experiences many people can relate to, especially once you reach your 50s.

But memory loss may be more than just a sign of aging. It can be an early sign of Alzheimer’s.

June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month. More than 55 million people worldwide live with the disease or another type of dementia, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Now is a great time to get checked, because early detection could make a major difference in how the disease progresses.

There is no cure for Alzheimer’s, but doctors recommend medications like galantamine, rivastigmine and donepezil.

They’re helpful, according to the National Institute on Aging, because they prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, which is important for memory and learning.

Put simply, the drugs help nerve cells communicate.

There are opportunities for everyone to observe Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month. Spreading the word about the

importance of being tested for the disease as well as learning about the different types of dementia is something everyone should do.

And knowing the signs of Alzheimer’s can help you help others. The most obvious, of course, is memory loss — specifically about recent events. Difficulty completing tasks that were once part of your routine is another. And sometimes people’s personalities change, and they may become more aggressive, angry or hopeless.

Not being able to find the right word to express oneself is often another sign, as is an inability to do tasks that were once routine.

And while it might not seem related, it really is important to prevent and address hearing loss, even if it involves buying hearing aids. According to Johns Hopkins, hearing loss is estimated to account for 8 percent of dementia cases. Scientists believe hearing loss may actually be a cause of dementia. When you can’t hear, your brain works overtime as it strains to hear and fill in the gaps, which comes at the expense of other thinking and memory systems.

Researchers are also finding that hearing loss causes people to be less engaged.

We can all think of a relative who sits in a corner and doesn’t participate at family functions, complaining they can’t hear

what’s being said.

Don’t ignore them. It’s important for them to be socially engaged, because they need to remain intellectually stimulated in order to avoid dementia. A little patience and encouragement from those around them can go a long way.

If you do find out you have early signs of Alzheimer’s or dementia, don’t give up.

Find ways to train your brain to fight the disease. Do crossword puzzles, word searches, Sudoku. Play chess, or even video games. Challenge yourself to learn new information or skills, like how to knit. Enroll in a class.

And for those who can still find their keys, reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s or dementia by getting enough sleep, maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, and managing your blood sugar.

Looking for a way to make a difference? Help people with Alzheimer’s by volunteering. The Long Island Alzheimer’s and Dementia Center, in Westbury, often has volunteers helping at its day program. They act as companions, and help people with memory loss be creative in arts and crafts. It can be a very rewarding experience.

Until there is a cure for Alzheimer’s, it’s important to take care of yourself by being tested and helping those around you who may need that little push. And it’s important to take care of yourself, too.

D’Esposito punted on Santos To the Editor: The Herald seemed intent on misleading its readers as to the actions of U.S. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito in last week’s story “D’Esposito wants George Santos out of Congress.”

The article stated that D’Esposito “spoke out in support of a resolution to expel his fellow Long Island Republican representative,” leaving the impression that he did all he could to remove Santos from Congress.

What the article left out, however, is that D’Esposito did not vote to expel Santos. Instead, he introduced the resolution that resulted in the matter of expulsion being referred to the House Ethics Committee, which has been investigating Santos since March.

D’Esposito disingenuously defended this vote by claiming that it would be the “quickest way” to rid Congress of Santos. Of course, that is false. The quickest way would have been for the majority of House Republicans — including all those who have called for Santos’ removal — to vote for his expulsion.

Instead, a direct vote on expulsion was blocked by the D’Esposito resolution. While D’Esposito’s rhetoric on Santos is welcome, actions speak louder than words. The people of Long Island and the nation deserved better.

s a legislator who served during the height of corruption in Nassau County and witnessed the indictment of former County Executive Ed Mangano, I know firsthand how important it is to have mechanisms in place to protect taxpayer money from the pitfalls of waste and fraud.

Over the past few years, I have worked closely with my colleagues in the County Legislature’s Democratic minority caucus to strengthen the integrity of Nassau’s procurement system and make the process of DeLIa awarding conas fair and DerIGGI-wHItton tracts secure as possible.

We did so by increasing the rigor of our contract reviews; requiring vendors to submit the names of all principals and any political contributions they have made; and mandating the disclosure of any violations an applicant may have been issued.

Soon afterward, we created the Office of the Inspector General and appointed the county’s first inspector general, Jodi Franzese, with unanimous bipartisan

support following an extensive search.

After the fights and scandals of the previous years, this was a truly proud moment in my legislative career, and represented real progress in our ongoing efforts to root out corruption in the county.

Operating as an independent official, the inspector general and their team promote transparency and increase the accountability of county operations by reviewing each contract to detect and prevent waste, fraud, and the abuse of taxpayer money in county procurement. Continued support for the office is critical to ensure the integrity of our procurement system — one that encompasses hundreds of millions of dollars each year.

At a time when the county has received hundreds of millions of dollars in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds and tens of millions more in settlements from the opioid manufacturers and distributors who flooded our communities with dangerous, addictive prescription drugs, I believe this function is especially vital. And with the Legislature’s vote on May 22, the county is also likely to face an array of substantial contracts in the not-too-distant future relat-

t appears there are efforts to weaken this crucial government watchdog.

Letters lature, he is turning Florida into our country’s leading autocracy. This state is a stark contrast to what it was when we first moved here in 1992. At that time it was affordable, safe and sane. Today it is expensive, dangerous and crazy.

Kremer is correct in his commentary on the sad social and political conditions in Florida in 2023 under the misguidance of Ron DeMentis. I do not believe he can or will win the 2024 Republican nomination, but I am fearful that he can persuade the state legislature to change the twoterm governorship limit. That would be devastating to a state his policies have already crippled.

Post-pandemic, we need a new way forward To the Editor: During the coronavirus pandemic, New York froze. In particular, health care services froze in their tracks under the strain and demand, and shifted to responding to the new threat to the population’s health.

Unfortunately, health care services and interventions not related to Covid-19 were put on the back burner. As a result, nonCovid health issues were not prioritized, resulting in people getting sicker for a variety of reasons.

ed to the redevelopment of the Nassau Hub in Uniondale, the outcome of which will profoundly shape our county for a generation.

However, it appears that there are efforts being made to weaken this crucial government watchdog at a time when I believe it is needed the most.

After her four-year term expired at the end of 2022, Franzese worked for months without being reappointed by the Legislature, putting herself and the entire office in an uncertain position. Without the protection of being formally appointed by a bipartisan, 13-vote supermajority, her ability to accomplish her mission of serving as an independent watchdog was inherently weakened.

Our minority caucus introduced legislation in April to extend her contract through 2026. Unfortunately, the majority rejected our proposal.

I can’t help but wonder whether political considerations were a factor in the decision to stall Franzese’s reappointment. Consider this fact: If Republicans capture just one more seat in November, they will establish a 13-vote supermajority in the Legislature. With that, they

Although the pandemic was a prioritizing focus for health departments and the government, other issues did not need to be pushed to the side.

One issue that was left behind was the focus on reducing rates of sexually transmitted diseases, with an increase in infections reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2020. Due to the pandemic restrictions imposed to make people safer, many sexual health clinics and health care providers reduced service or close entirely.

Additionally, government resources previously dedicated to reducing STD rates were redirected to address the pandemic.

This allowed rates of STDs such as syphilis and gonorrhea to increase. This scenario is most harmful to adolescents and young adults, who are at disproportionately greater risk of testing positive for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, as the CDC recommends routine testing for this age group. But the pandemic disrupted this routine for many.

In addition, disparities for marginalized communities, such as people of color and men who have sex with men, were exacerbated, with men of color who had sex with men disproportionately testing positive for STDs during the pandemic.

Although the gover nment was required to redirect national health initiatives to address the crisis, a new way forward is needed, because these disparities persist, and there are proven methods of

would have full control of every arm of county government, and could feasibly install an inspector general who would rubber-stamp whatever contracts come before the Legislature, undermining its ability to provide checks and balances as a truly coequal branch of government.

Such an atmosphere would be a tremendous disservice to county taxpayers.

I fear it would also create a fertile breeding ground for a return to the troubles of our recent past at a time when those taxpayers simply can’t afford to go backward.

For all these reasons, I am passionate about preserving and enhancing ethics safeguards like the inspector general’s office. Not only do such entities protect taxpayer money from waste, fraud and abuse, but they also deter future bad actors and help to ensure that elected officials have all the information they need to reach informed decisions. The minority caucus will continue to fight tirelessly to improve the procurement process to make it more open, inclusive and cost-effective, because it is essential for Nassau County to continue down the path of good government and transparency.
