At Central, the salon is open for business

By BRENDAN CARPENTER bcarpenter@liherald.com
Luz Bove lost her husband, Vincent, to cancer just two months ago. The 54-year-old mother of two wasn’t up to putting up a Christmas tree this year. Her children pushed her and she granted their Christmas wish while trying to make this first holiday season without their dad as normal as possible. She told them the presents would be light this year, because of the circumstances.

Little did she know that some-
one would make their holiday brighter.
Each year, Northwell Health celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. At the most recent celebration, a relationship was forged that will last much longer than a month. It will last a lifetime.
Bove has worked for Northwell Health in Manhasset for over a decade, having started as a rehabilitation aide in 2012. She is now a program manager. She was involved with the Hispanic Heritage event while Vincent was in hospice care at home.
Vincent, 54, a longtime cameraman for NBC Sports, was unexpectedly diagnosed with Stage 4 salivary gland cancer in January 2019. He died on Oct. 23, not too long after the event.
“One of our fellow leaders for the event wanted to just acknowledge my presence, and appreciate my presence there,” Bove said, “because of the fact that I was currently managing this other whole side of my life at home with my husband, caring for him at home on hospice while also working.”
Like most high school students, these 33 juniors and seniors from across the district rise early for their morning classes, but instead of sitting through your average course subjects — world history, algebra, English literature — they are learning hair coloring, nail enhancement and skin care.
For two and a half hours every weekday, in addition to their usual coursework, students like North High senior Krista Modesti are training in cosmetology, learning the penand-paper fundamentals of their craft but also earning hands-on experience at the school’s salon.
“We’ve been preparing to practice on clients our whole junior year for this,” said Modesti. “By the time we’re seniors, we need to have a full understanding of everything surrounding
cosmetology. It’s not just hair. It’s not just makeup. You need to understand everything that goes with it.”
The goal of the program, which began more than 40 years ago, is to prepare a batch of aspiring hairy stylists and beauty specialists for the rigors and realities of the industry. And after completing 1,000 hours of working on Central High School’s salon floor, students are eligible to take the New York State Cosmetology license exam.
The program began in Memorial Junior High School, and then later moved to Central, according to district cosmetology teacher Karen Glasgow.

By the time they graduate from high school with their cosmetology license, students can go straight to working at a hair salon — or start investing in running their own, Glasgow noted.
“It’s a great program,” said Central Principal Joseph Pom-

American Paralympian visits District 24 schools


His achievements as an American Paralympian and powerlifter have been the subject of high-profile Nike and Sports Illustrated features and viewed on news outlets like ABCNews and 20/20. But nowadays, Rohan Murphy has been elevated to the national spotlight for his work off the competition stage as one of this country’s most sought-after motivational youth speakers across schools nationwide.
Earlier this year, Valley Stream 24 sixth-grade students from each school got a chance to hear Murphy, a double amputee, deliver his hard-won wisdom on the importance of going after what they want and being the best versions of themselves, while making no excuses in getting there.
Karen Serro, Robert W. Carbonaro’s social worker, facilitated the Rohan Murphy program districtwide in hopes to promote positive messages of hope, kindness, self-love, and overcoming adversity.
“Thank you to Mr. Murphy for visiting our schools,” said Superintendent Don Sturz. “Valley Stream 24 prides itself on giving our students the confidence, and support and giving them the right tools to succeed in their lives in their educational
journey and beyond. Rohan Murphy visiting our schools was an excellent opportunity for our students to listen to his life experiences, how he overcame hardships, and anything is possible if you put your mind to it.”
“Thank you to Valley Stream 24 for inviting me to speak to their students.
Speaking at school is my dream job because I feel like I can make a difference and positive impact with my story,” said Murphy. “I believe that it is vital for people to hear my journey to give them a different perspective in life.”
Village keeps holiday charity traditions alive
Throughout the month of December, the Village of Valley Stream has been collecting new toys to deliver to the Toys for Tots program.
After weeks of accumulating the toys, members of the Valley Stream Fire Department, Mayor Ed Fare and even Santa Claus gathered in the Valley Stream Pool lobby on Dec. 20 to load the toys unto the firetrucks.

With the toys loaded and Santa Claus ready to deliver the gifts, the trucks took off for the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management Building in Bethpage. There, the toys were hand-delivered to Major Chuck Kilbride, who heads the Toys for Tots campaign.
Recreation Director Jimmy Fitanzo and Mayor Fare also visited the second floor of Macy’s at the Green Acres mall to deliver Santa letters handwritten by village children for the Make-a-Wish foundation.

The letters were in part collected at the Waldinger Memorial Library. Children who dropped off a letter at the library’s Children’s Room were offered a holday treat.
With the toys and letters delivered, the Village of Valley Stream kept burning bright their yearly tradition of helping those charity organizations that help those in need this holiday season.

This year you can make it happen!
The New Year is here. You’ve made resolutions to lose weight, get fit, save money, and be better organized. How successful will you be with these endeavors? You know the answer — all that falling off the wagon is creating mega business for chiropractors.
So instead of remaking the same old resolutions, how about shifting your gaze to savvy psychological strategies to help you become the person you want to be! Here are a few to try:

■ Don’t curb your enthusiasm. What are you passionate about? What are you eager to do, to learn, to enjoy? Go for it!
■ Appreciate that you’re a work in progress. Though you still have much to learn, take pride in who you are right now. Yes, some seem to be born with a talent for … (Fill in the blank). But the rest of us must work hard to accomplish what we want.
■ Put a lid on your id, so you finish what you start. It’s easy to get distracted, to lose focus. If your mind responds to every whim it encounters, you’ll end up mightily frustrated. Hence, a disciplined “no” to diversions reaps a sensational “yes” to achievements!
■ Appreciate the art of being fully present. We talk to our closest friends and family, yet we’re not fully present. Why? We’re checking our phones or thinking about something else. We rush into our cars, never noticing the sensational sunrise, awe-inspiring nature, and cumulous clouds. When you’re in a rush to be somewhere else, you miss what’s right in front of you.
■ Spend time with rich people - not those with fat wallets but those with warm hearts. Notice how others speak to you. Is their conversation loaded with critiques (you should have), or with curiosity (what are you into?), or praise (yippee!)? Do they offer encouragement with what’s important to you? Or, do they come up with reasons that hinder and hamper your progress?
■ Give negative thoughts the boot. There may be times when you experience a wave of worries. Or a pessimistic voice that says, “You can’t!” Or guilt that says, “You shouldn’t have!” Yes, negative voices may come with an important message you need to heed. But once you hear the message and determine its validity, let it go. Do not allow it to take up residency in your brain!
■ Seek out opportunities to learn, travel, and experience something new. Initially, you may feel fearful and uneasy. Keep learning, however, and you’ll end up celebrating your achievements. People who find life tedious and tiresome don’t do this. Then they complain about how bored they are. You make the better choice!
■ Ask questions of others who think differently from you. Listen respectfully to their answers to gain a deeper understanding of how they think, what they want, what they fear. When you do, you’ll become a more informed, insightful person.
■ Celebrate your imperfections. What, are you kidding? Nope! If those imperfections are not weighing you down, let them be. Nobody’s perfect. Bur if you notice that they’re preventing you from living the life you want, see what you can improve to make a better life for yourself.
■ This is your space: What’s your savvy strategy for the New Year that will bring a smile to your face? Once you decide what it’ll be, share it with me, please. Thanks.
Hoping 2023 will be is a wonderful year for you where you will feel empowered, accomplish your goals and enjoy your life.

Police say they’ve busted ‘Dirty dozen’ burglars
By MARK NOLAN mnolan@liherald.comPolice are accusing what they describe as a pair of burgling Grinches of stealing $150,000 in valuables from a dozen area homes over the holidays.
Joshua B. Mellado-Gonzalez, 32, and Mauricio J. Fuentes-Jimenez, 31 — both of Queens Village — were charged with 12 burglaries that stretched across communities that include Lynbrook, Valley Stream, Elmont, West Hempstead, Rockville Centre and Baldwin.


The investigation was led by detectives from the Nassau County Police department, along with investigators from the Lynbrook Police Department.
The arrests were made after piecing
interest. It was a lot of hard work to ascertain who they were and where they lived.”
Nassau County police declined comment, however, citing the ongoing investigation.
Five of the reported burglaries took place in Lynbrook, according to police, beginning on Madison Street on Nov. 29, and then continuing at two homes on Ocean Avenue in December, Vassar Place on Dec. 26 and Whitehall Street on Dec. 27.

Each of those homes were secured, Murphy said. “They just got into the houses whichever way they could.”
Also hit were homes on Rockaway Parkway in Valley Stream, Belmont Avenue in Elmont, Walton Street in West

“Since Covid our numbers have bounced back, but this season we saw a big change,” Carbajal said. “Tom has been very supportive and helped recruit some kids to wrestle. It’s a great situation because we have a lot of freshmen in the room. The whole environment is better. There’s more competition every day at practice because guys are battling for starting jobs.”
Although Central has its work cut out facing a grueling dual meet schedule, Carbajal was encouraged by a third-place finish at the Paul Grammatico Tournament hosted by Valley Stream South on Dec. 10. “We had 20 kids enter and 10 placed,” he said. “It’s a performance we’re looking to build off.”

Senior captains Adrian Alvarado and Arthur Brown are veterans in the program and leading the way, Carbajal said.
Alvarado (138 pounds) has been competing for five years, while Brown (145) is in his sixth year in the program.
“Adrian didn’t get the results he wanted last season and he’s been working really hard since it ended,” Carbajal said of Alvarado, who took third at the Valley Stream South tournament. “He competed in tournaments and attended clinics, and I’m thrilled to see how far he can go as a senior. He sets a good example for the younger guys.”
Brown earned All-Conference honors last winter and qualified for the Nassau Division I tournament where he split four matches on the big stage. He was one of the Eagles’ three finalists in the Grammatico tournament. “Arthur is a strong kid and had a big growth spurt from his sophomore to junior year,” Carbajal said.
seNior
“He added muscle and his goal is to be AllCounty.”
Back on the mat for the first time since they were freshmen, seniors Johansson Ramos and Siris St. Victor are filling the 172- and 189-pound spots, respectively. “They enjoy the sport and wanted to give it one more shot,” Carbajal explained. “They understand what’s expected of them and are dedicated to get better every day.”
Of the more than a dozen freshmen in the program, Emmanuel Alvarado has stood out so far, Carbajal noted. Alvarado is competing in varsity matches and doing more than holding his own. He placed
third at VSS. “He can handle it and I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes All-Conference,” the coach said.
Freshman Jaiden Custodia (118) and junior Johan Roldan (215) were both finalists at the Grammatico tournament. Sulayman Hassan (118), Zion Phillips (132), Badar Khawar (138), Brian Donahue (152) and Matt Howard (285) all took fourth in the eight-team event to help the Eagles total 168 points.
Carbajal said he’s also excited about the youngest member of the program, eighthgrader Zakai Phillips, who’s fine tuning his skills in JV matches.
Family affected by cancer has holiday surprise
Chris O’Brien is the chief financial officer for Long Island Jewish Valley Stream Hospital Northwell Health. He spoke at the celebration, just before Bove spoke to the crowd. She spoke about her husband and what her family has been going through. O’Brien, after hearing her story, wanted to help.
“Specifically with people in my company, whenever I hear somebody is going through that, I really do try to reach out to the family and lend my support,” he said. “My wife, early on in our marriage, was diagnosed with cancer as well. So I understand the struggle and what it’s like, as a family member, to see somebody that you love going through such a thing.”
After the event, O’Brien and Bove met and talked for about an hour, just learning about each other. What hit home for him, was that Bove has two children, a 12-yearold son, Vincent Jr., and an eight-year-old daughter, Ava.
O’Brien has a daughter the same age, with similar interests. So, wanting to help out as much as he could, he made a long-term goal and short-term goal. The long-term goal is to be the first donation for a foundation Bove is starting in her husband’s name and the short-term goal of gifts for the entire family were presented a few days before Christmas.
At LIJ Valley Stream, employees donate money to help families in need as part of their annual giving tree, where Northwell employees donate money for Christmas gifts for people and families in need. Bove and her family were number seven on the tree, her husband’s lucky number. About $2,000 was raised for them, $1,000 on the first day.
Bove walked through numerous hallways at the hospital Dec. 23 before arriving at the meeting room, where she was surprised with gifts, including a mini basketball hoop, coloring books, games, an easy bake oven and tickets to both a Ranger game and Disney on Ice, among many

others. It was exactly two months after Vincent passed away.
“It’s been an outpouring and a collective effort from a lot of people that heard this story and immediately wanted to do something for this family,” O’Brien said of his coworkers. “She’s just such an infectious person and just for somebody to have such an optimistic view on life at a time when pretty much everything is pointing towards her not having that, I thought again was just so incredible. And I think that’s going to serve her kids very well.”
It’s amazing how people who were once perfect strangers, have had such a profound impact on each other.
“Sometimes you never understand why people cross
your path,” Bove said to O’Brien. “I said to myself, with everything we’ve gone through as a health system and just healthcare and we just went through a global pandemic, it almost restored your faith in people humanity because, I barely know you. We just met and I can tell immediately the kind of person your character right away just from that initial meeting.”
Along with the gifts, the short-term goal, O’Brien addressed the room, and Bove, saying that the long-term goal was also going to be fulfilled. He had money remaining from the giving tree and rather than buying more gifts, he said the money is going to become the first donation for her future foundation.
“Elder Law Estate Planning” is an area of law that combines features of both elder law and estate planning and relates mostly to the needs and concerns of the middle class.
Estate planning was formerly only for the wealthy who wanted to shelter their assets from taxes and pass more on to their heirs. But today estate planning is also needed by the middle class who may have assets exceeding one million dollars, especially when you consider life insurance in the mix.
Estate planning with trusts became popular starting in 1991 when AARP concluded that probate should be avoided and trusts should be used to transfer assets to heirs without a court proceeding. Trusts are also widely used today to avoid guardianship proceedings on disability, protect privacy, and reduce the chance of a will contest in court.


As the population aged and life expectancies increased, the field of elder law emerged in the late 1980’s to help people protect assets from nursing home costs by using Medicaid asset protection strategies.
The two fields of elder law and estate planning still tend to be separate, which can
work against a client needs. For instance, a client may see an elder law attorney for Medicaid asset protection planning in the event of disability, but overlook the benefits of estate planning, such as avoiding estate taxes or keeping assets in the bloodline. Similarly, a client may have prepared an effective estate plan for death with an estate planning attorney, but failed to avail themselves of Medicaid asset protection strategies for their lifetimes.
For this reason, we have been practicing
“elder law estate planning” together for over thirty years to address these needs:

• Getting your assets to your heirs, with the least amount of court costs, taxes and legal fees possible.

• Keeping your assets in the bloodline for your grandchildren and protecting those assets from your children’s divorces, lawsuits and creditors.
• Protecting your assets from the costs of longterm care and qualifying you for government benefits to pay for your care either at home or in a nursing facility.
• Avoiding guardianship proceedings if you become disabled and probate court proceedings on death.

Echo Park closing doors for $2 million renovation
By MARK NOLAN mnolan@liherald.comThe Echo Park indoor pool complex in West Hempstead has a long history of providing entertaining relief for Hempstead town residents. But that history will have to pause over the next several months while town officials push through the first phase of renovations, closing the pool until at least around Labor Day this year. And those $2 million worth of construction is just the beginning.
“The renovation of Echo Park is a multimillion-dollar project that will be completed over the next few years,” said Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin. “The Town of Hempstead is committed to upgrading this facility while minimizing the inconvenience for our local swimmers who frequent the park year-round.”
potentially save on energy bills.
That should bring Echo Park into the late summer or early fall, a town spokesperson said. What comes next is still being decided by town officials.
“The new and improved Echo Park will surely make a splash when completed,” Clavin said.
In the meantime, typical Echo Park visitors can travel to East Meadow instead to use the indoor pool there. The Nassau County Aquatic Center will accept passes issued by the Town of Hempstead during the renovation project.

Echo Park is generally open to all town residents, providing a rate discount to those who don’t live inside an incorporated village or special park district. Daily rates there are typically $8 to $9 for individuals, and $4.50 for children between 5 and 9, as well as senior citizens, the disabled, and volunteer first responders.
The first phase of construction includes a new air ventilation system, something that has taken on even more importance during the Covid-19 pandemic era. Other scheduled work includes a new state-of-the-art pool filtration system, new energy-efficient lighting, renovation of the north and south interior walls, and recaulking windows to prevent air leaks and
Nassau County offers similar rates in its East Meadow complex for those living in the county who also buy a three-year “leisure pass” for $36. Those without the pass, and those who don’t live in Nassau County, could pay daily rates as high as $22 for adults, and $14 for children.
And renovations in Echo Park aren’t exactly new. The West Hempstead complex
reopened in January 2018 after a $208,000 renovation that included resurfacing several indoor areas and refinishing the diving boards. The year before, Echo Park was part of a town-wide $1.26 million recreational facility improvement plan that focused on restroom and locker room upgrades.
Despite the inconvenience this time around, town councilman Thomas Muscarella says the upgrades are needed.
“Improvements to the pool are long
overdue,” he said. “Echo Park is a beloved facility in our area. Residents frequent the indoor pool all year.”
Other than this brief closure each winter, the Nassau Boulevard Echo Park facility is open seven days a week, year-round. It’s also home to a number of other yearround aquatic, physical fitness and cultural arts programs.
For more information on the center and using the Nassau County facility, call the Echo Park office at (516) 483-7400.
Cosmetology students offer
pilio. “One that has graduated hundreds of students who are now active in the professional field. Central celebrates its cosmetology students and their teacher Ms. Karen Glasgow.”
Once juniors accrued enough hours of training, they are able to practice on real clients during their senior year. It’s an important milestone for any would-be cosmetologist to reach before getting in front of paying customers, noted Glasglow.
“This gives them the chance to practice and perfect their skills in preparation for postgraduation real work experience, as opposed to only working on mannequins’ heads only,” she said.
What mannequin heads can’t provide is the one-to-one, in-person contact with flesh and bone clients, allowing students to understand and care for a client’s particular needs, requests, and comfort level. Customer service skills like developing interpersonal rapport are a big part of the job, which has the potential to drive away customers or keep them coming back as lifelong clients.
“We’re currently offering salon services Thursdays and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.,” Modesti said. “We’re doing shampoo and set, color, manicure, cuts, blow dry, perms, facials, and color styling.”
The services are free, and the dedicated class of seniors is eager to get show off their beauty skills.

To apply for a cosmetology license, you must:
■ Be 17 years old
■ Complete a 1,000-hour-approved course of study and pass both the New York State written and practical examinations.
■ Be examined by a physician, physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner.

“Let’s say you’re doing a haircut, you need to know their skin tone, eye color, face shape, and body type. There’s a lot of stuff that goes into a haircut, more than you think,” Modesti said.
While working on clients is one of the most enriching parts of the program, it has faced some recent setbacks at least in the short run, noted Modesti.

The clientele has thinned compared to previous years, pointing to two years of school disruptions and closures caused by the coronavirus pandemic, where students were unable to practice on clients.

Glasgow found creative ways of getting new clients in front of the students like pampering residents at the Lynbrook Restorative Therapy and Nursing rehabilitation center.

Modesti hopes for a higher turnout from the local clients from Valley Stream until the end of the school year in June.
“I feel like nobody really knows about it anymore,” Modesti said. “So we’re trying to really get the word out there for everybody. I fought to get into this program, and I’m ready to show off what I’ve learned.”

Dancing With The Stars Live

Heroism unfolds in an epic adventure

elcome the New Year with another dose of that wonderful world of Disney. The latest Disney ice extravaganza arrives at UBS Arena in Elmont to the delight of families who can’t get enough of their favorite Disney moments. Audiences can relive some of the iconic characters and stories — classic and new — when Disney on Ice’s “Into the Magic” brings a lineup of Disney “royalty” here for four days, opening Jan. 5.
WHERE WHEN











• Thursday through Sunday. Jan. 5-11; times vary.
• Tickets start at $20 (pricing may fluctuate based on demand); available at Ticketmaster.com or DisneyOnIce.com
















• UBS Arena, 2400 Hempstead Turnpike, Elmont

This production showcases inspiring favorites from the Disney canon, including those spunky royal sisters, Anna and Elsa, from the always popular mega-hit “Frozen.” Joining this spirited pair are the forever-enchanting Belle, dauntless Rapunzel and the charming bandit Flynn, the determined Cinderella, the aspiring young musician Miguel, and the daring and fearless Moana. Their courage and plucky grit to live their best lives are set forth in lively — albeit condensed — re-tellings of “Beauty & the Beast,” “Coco,” “Tangled,” “Cinderella,” “Frozen” and “Moana.”
These unforgettable characters and their adventures are brought to life on ice in a captivating production that transports audiences to worlds where imaginations soar and in true Disney spirit “anything can happen if you just believe.” Guided by Mickey and Minnie and their crew, of course — with the assistance of two hosts this time around — these tales are told through graceful, artful skating and dynamic special effects, set to the soundtrack fans know and love.
In keeping with longstanding Disney tradition, it’s a fast-paced spectacle with rapidly changing segments.
“All celebrate why these stories are so special,” says Chase Belmontes, who performs as Gaston, Belle’s strapping suitor. “The uplifting nature of these stories all end strongly with an inspiring message about finding your dreams and finding your inner hero.”
That message surely resonates with the 27-year-old Las Vegas native, who is in his third year with Disney On Ice. “I grew up with Disney as a






kid,” he says. “I loved Disney and watched all the movies. Being here now is a personal accomplishment.”
As with his fellow cast members, Belmontes’ competitive skating skills enhance the high level of athleticism that is the hallmark of these productions. Solos, pair and fast-paced ensemble skating with high-flying jumps add to the appeal of the stories the audience knows so well.
“There are so many iconic moments,” he says, noting the pairs sequence in his “Beauty and the Beast “ portion, which also includes a dramatic ensemble routine. “It’s all very exciting.”
And, of course, “Frozen” elicits an enthusiastic response. As Belmontes says: “Always a fan favorite.” Especially when it comes time for “Let It Go.”
“It’s absolutely magical,” he continues. “Everyone sings along to every single word. It’s such a wonderful experience.”
There’s plenty of singing, with the audiences up on their feet throughout the show. And, naturally, Belles, Cinderellas and many others are scattered throughout the arena.
“Everyone dresses up in costume, even adults.” Belmontes says. “It’s amazing. So sit back and soak it all in. There’s a lot to look at and enjoy.”

celebrates
With 2023 in full swing, many of us are invited to not only look ahead at what this new year brings but reflect on the past accomplishments of the one left behind. Last November, the Valley Stream Central High School District celebrated its year-defining accomplishment of 2022: earning its Blue-Ribbon School distinction by the U.S. Department of Education. The rare honor, given to the country’s highest-performing schools, was bestowed on only three high schools on Long Island and 297 schools nationwide this year.
At its November 8 Board of Education meeting, district officials honored Central Principal Joseph Pompilio and his staff for their efforts in making Central a Blue Ribbon School.

“Every person who works at Central, including custodians, secretaries, our nurse, cafeteria workers, and others strive for excellence under a cultural umbrella of high expectations,” Pompilio said while standing alongside his staff. “I am very proud of Central High School’s achievements.”
On November 29, the celebration continued with a ceremony unveiling a pair of Blue-Ribbon banners adorning the school façade. Led by Pompilio and attended by students and staff as well as local elected officials, the event was a major acknowledgment of this great accomplishment for the school. In addition to Board of Education President Kenneth Cummings, County Executive Bruce Blakeman, and Village of Valley Stream Mayor Ed Fare were in attendance and offered their remarks.

V.S. man found guilty of drug and weapons charges


A Valley Stream man was sentenced to 15 years in prison on drug and weapons charges by county prosecutors after a search of the man’s residence turned up two firearms and a stash of drugs.
Jackson Metellus, 41, was convicted after a jury trial on November 10, 2022, before Nassau County Court Judge Christopher Quinn. Metellus was sentenced to 15 years in prison and five years post-release supervision on Dec. 12, 2022.
Nassau County police responded to a call of a possible hostage situation at the Valley Stream residence on Oct. 13, 2020, at 5:50 a.m. when detectives allegedly discovered a black duffel bag containing pills such as clonazapem and zolpidem, a digital scale and other drug paraphernalia, cash, and a 22. caliber revolver alongside a loaded 45. caliber semi-automatic pistol in the basement that Metellus rented out.

Attorney Anne Donnelly. “Some of the drugs, when tested, were determined to be incredibly deadly fentanyl. We are thankful that these lethal drugs did not hit Nassau County streets and that this dangerous individual will be imprisoned and unable to cause any further harm to our communities.”

Detectives also found cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl in clear ziplock bags in a utility closet in the basement and ketamine in a safe in the defendant’s bedroom.
“This defendant had two illegal handguns in his possession – one loaded – drug paraphernalia, and various drugs intended for sale,” said Nassau County District
Deputy Bureau Chiefs Tova Simpson and Gregory Murphy of the District Court Trial Bureau prosecuted the case while they were members of the Narcotics, Firearms, and Gangs Bureau. Metellus represented himself at trial with his lawyer Don Rollock.

My building’s in need of a tenant
Q. I have a building that has been unoccupied for three years. I bought it because it was going to have a long-term tenant. They backed out, so I need to get the building rented. I have a prospect who wants me to get the permits for their animal grooming service operation, with possible overnight boarding. They’re only interested if the permits are ready to go. What is the minimum I can do to get the permit and get the tenant into the building to rent? The building is 8,000 square feet, and the tenant only needs about 5,000. Do I need more permits for another tenant, and can I get them both together to save money? I need to do this quickly, or the tenant will go elsewhere. What can be done?
A. Time and cost are a problem. You probably won’t get results in under seven months to a year. Building plans take time, and must involve the tenant’s specific input as to where walls, plumbing and equipment will be located.
Most people treat plans like they’re just a suggestion, to be changed later, but the reality is that the plans need to show very specifically what will be done. Those plans have to be filed with all the required application papers and a property survey with the building department, which will then put the plans in a lineup with all the other plan folders that come in that will eventually be reviewed. Depending on the size of the community, this process can take three to four months before you first hear back that your plans are objected to or rejected.
Once you learn that you can’t be approved with a straight-away permit, you may request that the file go into a request for varying from the zoning code, since most municipalities do not allow overnight animal boarding. This is the zoning variance request. A zoning case is separate from a building permit, and requires the preparation of a map of the property, along with neighboring properties — sometimes, depending on the community, as far away as 600 feet. For commercial use, some municipalities require that the map show the accurate outline of all buildings and names of tenants and owners on each property, prepared by a licensed land surveyor.
If the plans you submit on behalf of your potential tenant do not reflect the true layout of the shapes and sizes of rooms, the location of equipment, etc., you may find yourself applying again to repeat the process when a building inspector sees that the plans were not followed, so you and the tenant have to treat this process seriously.
Also, if the building is not yet outfitted with sprinklers, plan on another seven- to 10-month process with the fire marshal. It can take less, but this is a common time frame. This process cannot be rushed, and isn’t like getting a driver’s license. Each tenant’s plans will need to be filed for separately. Good luck!

The ups and downs of 2022
Yes, 2022 was quite a year. Politics were at their ugliest. The world was in turmoil. War raged in the Ukraine. Overall, it was a tumultuous year. Here are some thoughts on it. The election had many surprises for New Yorkers. Kathy Hochul became the first elected woman governor in state history, but won her first full term by only 5 percentage points.
JERRY KREMERHochul ran a remote campaign, and failed to do local events. Her Republican opponent, Lee Zeldin, made it a closer contest than expected, using the issue of crime effectively.
Long Island made history by electing four Republican members of Congress, who helped their party cement its majority in the House. One of the winners, George Santos, turned out to have lied about his entire resume. Candidates sometimes exaggerate a chapter of their history, but not the entire story. At this writing, Santos was about to be investigated by the Nassau County district attorney. Even if he’s able to hang on to his job, he’ll definitely be a one-term member of Congress.
There were some other big local winners. Nassau Republican chair Joe Cairo’s candidates unseated two state senators, and his party now has seven out of nine Long Island senate seats. We can hope that the winning seven will find a way to work with the two Democrats whose party controls the senate. Cairo also produced a winning margin locally for Zeldin, which helped make the final results much closer.
Love him or not, President Biden had some big victories last year. Congress passed a bipartisan gun control bill, the first of its kind since the early 1990s. Of course, it took a number of major tragedies to spark a major defeat for the National Rifle Association, which had successfully blocked previous bills.
As well, new microchip legislation will pave the way for microchip factories in the United States. New York will get its own major chip facility upstate, which could bring thousands of jobs.
Another bipartisan win was the passage of a major bill that will fund the battle against climate change, a first in the country’s history. New York did its share by passing a $4 billion bond to combat global warming in the state. It will pay for
badly needed repairs to water and sewer systems and provide dollars for new forms of clean energy. Considering the measure’s high cost, its approval by voters was a miracle.
Those voters also sent a clear message to the Albany establishment on the issue of bail reform. Whether or not crime rates are as high in your community as some claim, the State Legislature will have to clean up the current law, or Democrats will take a bigger beating in 2024 and possibly lose control of the Senate.
And 2022 was supposed to be the year when cannabis would be sold at retail dispensaries. Some permits were given to people who’d had marijuana-related convictions, but otherwise the program stalled. New York is far behind Massachusetts and Rhode Island when it comes to legalized pot sales.
Our battle against the coronavirus last winter was successful. The number of New Yorkers suffering from the disease dropped dramatically. Covid vaccines proved to be effective. While mandates to wear masks were finally lifted, wearing masks in 2023 in crowded places will still be effective in keeping the numbers down.
Last November’s election results were historic. Over the past 50-plus years, the
president’s party has almost always lost seats in Congress, and has sometimes lost control of the House or Senate as well. But this time around, the Democrats, who some forecast would lose both houses, surprisingly kept control of the Senate, and almost retained control of the House.
So, 2022 was the year that prosecutors and the Jan. 6 committee painted a vivid picture of numerous wrongdoings by former President Donald Trump. He is facing grand jury deliberations, and even many of his staunchest supporters acknowledge that his reputation has taken a major hit. The failure of the candidates he endorsed in November didn’t help, either. This may be the year that he is called to account for his missteps.
The nation needs a cleansing from Trump’s grip on the Republican Party, which will help both political parties refocus on making government work — or at least they will try. This was quite a year. Hopefully, our leaders will learn from their mistakes, and produce some positive results for we the people.

As the new year begins, let us look up to the stars that light our winter nights.
The transition from 2022 to 2023 has been showered with starlight. Fresh off the front lines in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky, the most unlikely of heroes, came to America to thank us for our support, and ask for more. As it turns out, the man in green fatigues roused something in us that had been beaten lifeless over the past few years: pride in our will to do good, faith in our democracy and a clear demarcation between right and wrong. Heroism is a rare commodity, but it walked into Congress on Dec. 21 and reminded us of who we are.
invaded, he stepped out of his old life and into battle dress. His visit to the U.S. shook something loose in our pervasive national cynicism and growing mistrust of one another. Here is a good guy, brave, not afraid to die for his country, a real David against a monstrous Goliath.
The Ukrainians face a winter without heat or running water, under constant bombardment by Russia. Their courage reminds us what death-defying bravery looks like after years of Trumpist self-serving corruption.

human-rights and voter-rights legislation through Congress.
Heroes come in unlikely personas at odd times. Cassidy Hutchinson is in the news, too. The 26-year-old former assistant to Mark Meadows, the Trump White House chief of staff, a woman who knows right from wrong, decided to tell the truth about President Trump’s alleged crimes despite enormous pressure to dissemble. It is hard to overstate the significance of her testimony. She is key to the Department of Justice investigation of Trump and the insurrection. A woman who had to look up the history of Watergate to guide her may be key to preserving our democracy.
cal behavior at NYU Langone. The article alleged longstanding policies on the part of hospital administrators to offer favorable treatment to powerful donors and celebrities and political figures. The reporting stood boldly against those who think that might makes right, and in support of those who surrender to privilege or who are resigned to “the way things work.”
In the wake of the Times story, maybe those bending the rules will be held accountable. It’s going around.
The fact that we have newspapers and reporters who sweat the details and follow up and write truth to power is another bright star in our firmament.

There was something uplifting in how it all looked: the man from Ukraine hugging the outgoing Speaker of the House and embracing the American president. Political pundits have been busy hounding aging boomers out of the public spotlight and urging older statespeople to retire. Yet it was 82-year-old Nancy Pelosi and 80-year-old Joe Biden who were getting things right, and getting the people’s work done. It was 72-year-old Sen. Chuck Schumer who pushed some critical
Then there’s the January 6th congressional committee and its 800-somethingpage report, released during these weeks of wonder.

For these many years of political travail and pandemic grief, newspapers have kept us informed. Stories like the expose on NYU prove that we have people in our profession who care about public corruption and work hard to bring it to light.

Many people, however, woke up a couple of days before Christmas to heavy rain and wind that once again brought a frightening amount of flooding to residential streets and primary roadways.
The early-winter storm evoked memories of 2012’s Hurricane Sandy, which was considered a once-in-a-century weather event. One South Shore resident even said that the storm was “giving me Sandy vibes.”
As early-morning motorists maneuvered through small rivers of water, it wasn’t surprising that some thought, “No, not again.” But they may have scratched their heads at the next thought: “Where are all those Sandy flood-mitigation projects we were promised?”
Less than a year after Sandy, New York state — under the direction of then Gov. Andrew Cuomo — established the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery to centralize the rebuilding and recovery efforts. One of its programs, New York Rising Community Reconstruction, empowered local communities to provide input into resiliency projects. Sandy was one of three storms — along with Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee in 2011 — that were under the storm recovery office’s umbrella.
Roughly $4.4 billion was made available to the state through federal funding for an assortment of resiliency projects as well as for residential home rebuilding. For the NYRCR program, communities assembled committees of civic leaders. There were public meetings. Engineers were consulted. Ideas were exchanged. Public comment

Does the columnist understand the waves?
To the Editor:
Re Matthew Adarichev’s column “The red wave that wasn’t, and the crime wave that isn’t” (Dec. 8-14):
I guess Adarichev didn’t see or understand the election results here, where people rejected the Democrats’ message of being soft on crime and bail reform.
He writes that fear of crime enabled Republicans to pull the red wave here.
So let me get this straight: We were supposed to elect people who couldn’t care less about us being free and safe in our neighborhood and homes while democracy and inflation were the two top issues?
The left loves throwing the word “democracy” around, but when you ask them for a definition, their minds go blank.

Adarichev goes on to say that there’s no
was collected.
From the list of NYRCR projects provided by the storm recovery office, 45 have been completed in Nassau County, while 30 others are in progress. These projects total nearly $334 million. GOSR has done a heck of a job.
However, getting to this point is one thing, but finishing is something else. What started as a well-run program looks as if it’s going to be a tough haul to complete.
Local officials tasked with cooperating with their state counterparts have found the process, which continues today, annoyingly slow and frustrating. There have been too many meetings, too much talk, and a lack of coordination — to the point where it felt like projects were constantly stopping and starting.
One of the problems appears to have been self-inflicted. As local officials pushed to move the projects forward, not only were there too many personnel changes in the state storm-recovery office, but the incoming officials, based in New York City, were unfamiliar with Long Island. Some projects went through nearly 10 iterations. It seemed that the process had to start from scratch any time there was a change in GOSR leadership.
Storm recovery representatives were also constantly interpreting federal language differently, creating more bumps in the road. The large volume of paperwork that moved back and forth between municipalities — requirements put in place by federal agencies as a response to the rampant fraud, waste and abuse of funds after Hurricane Katrina —slowed projects down.
Then, in 2020, the world shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic. Projects that were in the works were given extensions because of unforeseen conditions that created supply-chain issues. That was understandable.
But don’t misunderstand: Much has been accomplished. There is a pump station in Cedarhurst, for example, that surely could help reduce flooding on Peninsula Boulevard.
Cuomo’s idea of having one central entity to oversee the projects was a good one. And the grass-roots NYRCR program won numerous national awards. But as more projects move forward, the state’s execution needs to be better. Now that there is a record of what was done — good and bad — there should be an audit, and what is learned from it should be applied as soon as possible.
The state’s newly created — and much more permanent — Office of Resilient Homes and Communities will now take over the storm recovery office portfolio. We hope that a permanent department will mean less staff shuffling and a streamlining of the bureaucracy. Importantly, state officials need to be more familiar with the communities they are supposed to be helping.
At one of many public meetings held several years ago, one resident was heard to say, “It’s just government,” in response to proposed plans that neighbors did not completely agree with.
That’s not an excuse our government should hide behind. To start the new year off right, the state should move the remaining projects to completion as soon as possible — before the next storm strikes.
Does Kirsten Gillibrand care about Long Islanders?
new York state’s missing U.S. senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, recently surfaced on Long Island. That must mean that Gillibrand finally got around to analyzing November’s election results and the near-death experience that will be seared into Gov. Kathy Hochul’s memory. Say what you will about our senior senator, Chuck Schumer — and there’s much to say — at least he knows where Long Island is. Before he became majority leader, Schumer seemed to be on the Island every weekend, holding news conferences on topics ranging from baby products to the width of airline seats. He understood the power of Long Island’s potent voter base and its propensity to swing right or left, depending on issues and personalities.
Schumer has been in our faces, like him or not, because he understands politics and the importance of engaging voters. He has long recognized that if you take Long Island for granted, you do so at your own political peril.
Gillibrand? She has long been absent on issues. Absent on voter engagement.
Absent on personal appearances. Just plain absent. Even Newsday was compelled at one point to ask, “Where is she?”
Well, you can tell that she has checked the calendar, and discovered that re-election is just two years away. Last month she met with journalists in Melville. In what was described as a wide-ranging discussion, Gillibrand announced that Long Island’s “red wave” would end in 2024. While suggesting that her party was trounced in November because “a lot of Long Island is libertarian,” she added, “I intend to run for re-election and win the state back, along with Long Island.”
These are bold words from someone who has failed to make a serious connection with Long Island voters. Over the years, Gillibrand has made a handful of announcements about federal programs, with little evidence that she pursued them specifically for our region, or even the state. In some instances, she has simply piggybacked off press statements from Schumer’s office.
To be fair, a search reveals that she held a town hall meeting at Hofstra in October. At that event, in which she engaged with students, the focus was the

crime wave, and that it’s OK to steal your catalytic converter. These thieves aren’t looking for their next meal or hanging out at soup kitchens. They are highly organized criminals, along with a few complicit junkyard owners, netting hundreds of thousand of dollars a year.

It sickens Adarichev that there’s another shooting, another corpse and some boyfriend beating up his girlfriend.
No mention of how the victims feel being pushed in front of a train or mugged on the street, or of bullets shot through children’s bedroom windows. Welcome to the world of bail reform, criminals’ get-out-of-jailfree card. But according to Matt, we have nothing to worry about.
Then he brings up a price cap to reduce the cost of gas. Here’s an idea: open drilling and exploration, like the last administration did. We were energy-independent and gas was $2 a gallon.
Now President Biden begs for gas from Venezuela, which is run by a dictator, and Saudi Arabia, which still hasn’t come clean about 9/11.
MICHAEL APPICEGovernment shouldn’t control energy on L.I.
To the Editor:
The recent column by Ronald Rosenberg (“‘Energy efficient’ may become a contradiction in terms,” Dec. 1-7) hits the nail on the head. Proposed moves away from the current public/private energy setup, which works well, are supported by left-wing activists who want further government control.
Current conventional energy producers and purveyors tend to be Republican and conservative. The cries for clean and green energy have less to do with saving the planet and more to do with consolidating power among Democrats and socalled progressives. More and more analysis has shown that electric cars, wind power and solar power are fraught with failures. Wake up, folks — the real goal here is to consolidate power among the radical left, not to save the planet.
MIKE TARTAGLIA Franklin SquareSupreme Court’s ruling on abortion. She told the Herald that she was in favor of term-limiting the justices. Ironically, that’s a suggestion she has not proffered for members of the Senate.
Gillibrand described herself as “very progressive” in her Melville interview, which raises the question: Just how far out of step is she with the majority of New Yorkers and those Long Island “libertarians” who voted in the last election cycle? Does she appreciate that being “very progressive” may serve to short-circuit a primary challenge from the left, but leaves her totally at odds with moderates in both parties?
Being frightened of a left-wing primary challenge led Hochul to ignore such profound issues as crime, high taxes, and municipal zoning authority. Her election night turned rather tense as returns demonstrated that a state with nearly twice as many Democrats as Republicans wasn’t going to give her the margin of victory her consultants were touting.
Former Rep. Lee Zeldin has given no indication of what he plans to do for the next two years. He has been mentioned as a potential choice as the next state GOP chairman, who could infuse new blood and strategic vision into that posi-
tion. There is also speculation that he could run for Senate, confronting Gillibrand’s progressive candidacy with the grounded policies of moderates and conservatives who want an engaged senator who knows the difference between AOC and the LIE.
Another Long Islander who would make a formidable opponent to Gillibrand is Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. He has quickly established his credentials as a tireless campaigner who embraces policies that are welcomed by those who describe themselves as Republicans, as well as independents who are in search of common sense. Comfortable before the media, popular “at home” and dedicated to public service, Blakeman would be an attractive candidate on many levels.
While two years is a lifetime in politics, Gillibrand’s recent return to Long Island is like Halley’s Comet, an event that happens very rarely. And her description of our red wave as the product of a bunch of libertarians is a reflection of the fact that she may visit every once in a while, but she doesn’t know us. And never has.
