A letter from the

publisher The past two years have been tough for Long Beach, but the always-resourceful people on the barrier island came through once again, just as we did after Sandy and other crises that have swept through the city. The Long Beach police and firefighters were always on the ready to help anyone who was sick, needed an ambulance or help at home. Grocery stores and other necessary retailers stepped up during this challenging time, their employees working long shifts under difficult conditions. And we can never thank Stuart enough our health care workers for their selfless dedication. Richner Now we understand just how resilient we, as a community, are. Neighbors helping neighbors. That’s what Long Beach is all about. And what it continues to be. We looked out for each other all through the Covid-19 crisis. Now as the pandemic shifts to endemic and restrictions have been loosened, Long Beach is reinvigorated and re-energized. The movie theater on Park Avenue, closed since Covid began its ugly spread, has finally reopened. Restaurants are doing a brisk business. And the boardwalk, as always, is lively. Throughout the pandemic, the Long Beach Herald has remained steadfast in informing everyone of new cases, hospitalizations, and also all of the great things individuals, stores, police, firefighters, school, and community leaders were doing to keep the city moving. Herald reporters were at meetings, and talking to you and your neighbors to paint a portrait of a city that may struggle at times, but one that also is winning. Richner Communications, which owns the Herald, was proud to do its part, too. Richner offered thousands of businesses marketing grants so that the merchants — the lifeblood of the city — could carry on. Now we are turning the corner, with vaccines and medical advances in our arsenal. Thankfully, eight out of every 10 people in Nassau County are fully vaccinated. As Long Beach moves forward, it's planning a huge celebration this summer for its centennial. And, along with you, the Herald will be there. Our reporters and photographers will cover all the major — and minor — events as the entire community rejoices and honors a city that has always proven so strong. Living In Long Beach is a special publication of your hometown newspaper, published in cooperation with the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce. We are honored to mark another year as the chamber's official publication. We hope you find this issue useful and informative, and that you enjoy reading the Long Beach Herald 52 weeks a year. In its 100th year, Long Beach continues to grow. Perhaps most exciting of all, at long last the Superblock development is underway. After 30+ years, work has finally begun on this $369 million project, which will include condominium residences, rental apartments, boardwalk-level retail, dining and a two-level parking garage with 1,100 spaces.

The Chamber works for you

he Long Beach Chamber of Commerce wishes you all a Happy Spring as we embark on another Beach Season. Coming out of the pandemic is fabulous news but we cannot overlook the toll it has taken on our businesses and our community as a whole. Our businesses have labored through the winter and are steaming towards a prosperous summer. We have all had to pivot in our business and family lives to maintain some sense of normality. Life was no different at the Chamber and pivot we did as well to see how best to serve our Business Community and to help navigate the unknowns. Working closely with the City Administration we pinpointed areas that would help our restaurants with seating capacity and getting creative with outdoor seating. Also creating parking areas in our Business Districts for curbside pick-up and drop-off for our Retail Establishments. As you all know, a strong Business District helps to keep our taxes stable and that is exactly what is needed now. With things ever evolving in our City by the Sea, there are many bright spots to acknowledge. First is the Superblock. We all know what is happening over there, after all we have been talking about it for 30 years and now it rises out of the ground. This project will bring great investment to our Business Community and a fair share of spending capital. Next up is our Road Reconstruction on the Boulevards connecting the LIRR and the Beach. And various other projects to increase the quality of life. The best way to describe Long Beach is a touristy LIVING IN LONG BEACH - 2022-2023

Beach Community in Summer that transitions to Local Life in the Winter. The Chamber is proud to see everyone back on their feet and looking forward to a beautiful Summer. We are fortunate that our membership is skyrocketing and that people, and I mean the entire Community, are represented so that all can enjoy the benefit when we work together and keep businesses strong. We are happy to proclaim Long Beach is Open for Business! Come and enjoy our beautiful beaches and venture into town and enjoy our beautiful restaurants or visit our Brewery, that's right we have the Bright Eye Brewery right here in town, and do a little shopping along the way. The Chamber is here to serve our Community both Businesses and Residents and that doesn't happen without the hard work of our Board of Directors. They are to be commended for helping get us all through these trying times, and our thanks to them can not be measured. We invite you all to come visit us at one of our Monthly Meetings which have really become the place to be on the 3rd Monday of the month. Look us up for dates and locations and stop in to say Hello, as we take issues head on. In closing, let's support our Local Businesses so that they can thrive and bring to you a great experience.

Sincerely, Jamie Lynch, Co-Chair Leah Tozer, Co-Chair and The Board of Directors 14

BreezY on the boardwalk

By James Bernstein

here are so many great things about the beach — the view of the gently bobbing waves in the morning, the fragrance of the salt air, and the warmth of the sand. But it is ultimately the breeze from the ocean that always draws people back to the boardwalk and its colorful cafes. It‘s the sea breeze and the hot croissants, sizzling burgers, malts and milk shakes and candy-colored ice cream cones offered from the sizzling grills and counters. Long Beach residents and visitors from elsewhere flock to the popular eateries on the boardwalk — Riptides, Marvel and Beach Burger. These spots jut out from the boardwalk like a surprise gift to the hungry, the thirsty, or to those who just want a break from a stroll, a jog or a bike ride. “I love it,” said Kate Schuecherl, out on a springy mid-April morning with her two children, Evie, 6, and Ben, 4, promising them breakfast at Riptides. “It’s the vibes,” the Rockville Centre mom said, explaining why she visits so often. “It’s relaxing. It’s eating. There are no complaints.” Brian Braddish, son of the well-known former Long Beach LIVING IN LONG BEACH - 2022-2023

city council member Kevin Braddish, opened Riptides about seven years ago, hoping to draw in longtime Long Beach residents and sun worshipers from across Nassau and Queens. He has been successful. His seasonal outlet, shaped like a box with an indoor porch, draws hundreds on weekends and an SRO crowd on summer holidays. “It’s a great place for local people,” said Braddish. “There’s music, food, a friendly staff. There’s always a lot of moms and kids.” Riptides, Marvel and Beach Burger draw people in. They are meeting spots for retirees, a place to play a hand or two of cards, a way station to a more serious destination, like a meeting, but maybe most of all, a respite from the worries of everyday life. 16

“Everyone comes to these places,” said, Perri Taxin of Long Beach, a teacher in the East Meadow school district who, like others in her profession, was gearing up for a long week off just before Good Friday and Passover. Riptides, Marvel and Beach Burger would be her summer hangouts, Taxin said. It was Kourtney Guenego’s 47th birthday, and she was celebrating at Rip Tides with a friend, Barbara Coyle, of West Belmar, N.J. Continued on page 18 Photos by: Joe Abate/Herald

“This is a local breakfast spot,” Guenego said. “I raised my family here. I always meet friends here. You can’t get over the view, of the breeze. It keeps you coming back.” T.K. Chiu, a golf instructor, was enjoying breakfast with his friend, Joyce Chau, a womens’ clothing designer. They come every few weeks, from Levittown. The trip is worth it, Chiu said. “It always reminds me of summer,” Chiu said. Cindy Wenger of Woodmere brought her three daughters, just to sit on a bench outside Marvel, the ice cream store, and take in the atmosphere. One of the them, Rebecca Wenger, 20, a student at SUNY Binghamton, said she began coming to the local joints three years ago, and has not stopped since, at least when she is in town. “I love the food,” she said. “I love this whole place.” LIVING IN LONG BEACH - 2022-2023

Long Beach, a summer like this only comes along once in a lifetime!

his summer, the City of Long Beach will celebrate 100 years. As your City Manager and neighbor, it is a privilege to welcome you all to our Centennial Summer of 2022. As I reflect on our city’s 100th Birthday -- our history and our future-- I amhumbled by the strength, resiliency, and togetherness of our community. It’s guided us through some very challenging times and it continues to propel us forward and inspire us all... for the next 100 years. So let’s celebrate our community and our great city all summer long. We will kick things off, partnering with the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce, with a city wide historical Scavenger Hunt on May 14th. There will be a number of exciting events to learn all about our history at our Public Library and the Long Beach Historical Society. And on June 4th and 5th, we will officially commemorate our Centennial in a celebration

for the ages! It will be complete with a parade, the planting of a time capsule, a brick dedication ceremony, arts and crafts fair, a massive birthday cake, and so much more. Recently, Time Out (Magazine) named the City of Long Beach the #1 Best East Coast Beach Town for a Summer Getaway. That’s certainly no surprise to our residents and visitors! Our city is where summer lives all year long. Our boardwalk and miles of beaches, our recreation center, summer ice skating, the best boutiques and businesses, great fishing, surfing, our fantastic farmers’ market, art shows, incredible restaurants, events, recreational programs and services for residents of all ages, and so much more. Did I mention the views?... Happy Birthday, Long Beach. We’ve reached a milestone together. We have 100 years to commemorate and we look forward to our next 100, as always, together… in our very special City by the Sea. Let the Centennial Summer begin! With gratitude, Donna M.

NICK ORICCHIO

At 80, still buzzing and clipping

“I’ve gotten a lot of new customers over the years,” Oricchio said. “I have the best customers in the world. Why? Because I treat them with respect. Sometimes you succeed with people and sometimes you don’t, but I don’t take anything for granted.” His skill with scissors and combs dates to his youth in Salerno, Italy, where he was raised. After school, other kids would play and wrestle, but young Nick wanted none of that. His father, a carpenter, told him to “pick up what you want to do for the rest of your life.” He decided he wanted to be a barber. Oricchio left Naples on a ship called the Christopher Columbus on May 25, 1962, and

ver the decades, hairstyles have changed — from crew cuts to ﬂat tops to locks that hung down to the shoulders, and even lower. But through it all, the barber behind the chair at Majestic Barber Shop, on Park Avenue, has remained the same. Nick Oricchio, now 80, has been cutting hair, trimming moustaches and clipping beards in Long Beach for 60 years and, he said last week, his barbering days are nowhere near over.

The shop has been in Long Beach for nearly 100 years, opening in 1925, where Bank of America now stands next to the train station. It took Oricchio a while to learn English, but taking night classes at Nassau Community College, he eventually got the hang of the new language.

Gonzalez died of a brain aneurism in 2005.

He has cut the hair of many, including former U.S. Sen. Al D’Amato and Guy James Mangano, a former state assemblyman and senator and State Supreme Court justice.

Shine’S to celebrate 100 years in L.B.

of alcohol, Casey said. The trap door leading to the area under the bar where patrons drank in secret is still there. The pub was sold in 1946 to Michael V. Delury, the father of former Long Beach City Councilman Mike Delury, for $12,000. Mike V. had been working at the bar after returning from World War II, and wanted to buy it and allow Shine to retire. The $12,000 was an employee loan from Msgr. John Cass of St. Ignatius Martyr Church. Michael J. Delury, Michael V.’s father, was employed as a sexton at the church. St. Ignatius had a couple of stipulations for the loan: The establishment must be closed on Good Friday and women must not work behind the bar.

his year, Shine’s will celebrate its 110th anniversary. The building is even older, dating back to the 19th century. Once called a tavern, it has been owned by three families since Eugene Shine, an Irish immigrant, opened shop in 1912. Shine owned it for over 30 years, and even stayed open secretly during Prohibition, from 1920 to 1933. At one point during that era, Shine’s was raided, and was found to be stockpiling about $300,000 worth

Both are still followed today. One of Shine’s regulars, Rich Doraio, of Long Beach, has been to several St. Pat’s celebrations there, and takes part in the bar’s annual New York-to-California bike tour around the city’s streets. There’s a tradition of sharing a drink after the tour. Shine’s, at 55 California St., is the “first place you go into the West End and the last place on your way out,” Doraio said. “It’s a tradition. It’s really cool to say you’ve been to Shine’s.” “We can offer a more intimate, authentic Irish pub experience,” said Megan Casey, the co-proprietor, with her husband, Brent Wilson. “You can find LIVING IN LONG BEACH - 2022-2023

all ages, music and all kinds of people having a good time.” As you walk through the main door, the bar is on the left and the pool room on the right. The bar is where a garage used to be attached to the building, with the same entryway and wooden doors. The bar top is also unchanged since the days of Prohibition. Shine’s is rife with history. The legendary New York City journalist Jimmy Breslin used to sweep up the bar after hours when he was a teenager. He wanted free drinks for his work. He got them. Courtesy Shine's

Shine’s Bar has been a Long Beach staple offering food, drinks and good times for 100 years.

MLK COMMUNITY CENTER making dreams come true

he Long Beach Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center has been providing the city with programs on anything from entrepreneurial development to youth education and adult literacy since it started in 1967. Despite the pandemic, the community center continues to provide Long Beach residents with necessary services. As a non-profit charitable organization, the Community Center aims to do as much as it can to help Long Beach get through the Covid-19 pandemic. Traditionally, the center has provided programs in youth and family recreation, youth leadership development, career development, financial literacy, family and community violence prevention, family strengthening, health and wellness promotion, and cultural awareness. As a result of Covid-19, these services are limited and others are virtual. In keeping with the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center's commitment to teaching Long Beach residents useful skills, the center has been offering workshops via Zoom. Various do-ityourself face mask tutorials have taken place. These sessions are available in both English and Spanish — for those who cannot comfortably interact with others in English. The center hopes to hold more virtual programs in the future. Announcements for these workshops are listed on the community center's Facebook page. LIVING IN LONG BEACH - 2022-2023

Since many find themselves unable to feed their families as a result of the current conditions, the MLK Community Center has also made it a priority to initiate the Grab and Go Food Program. Rain or shine, the staff provides meals to those in need in the parking lot of the community center. The program runs Monday through Friday from noon to 2 p.m. Social distancing guidelines are followed, and each staff member is required to wear a face covering. The center also accepts donations to this program through their Cashapp $LBMLK and their PayPal @Lbmlk.org. The Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center strongly advises people to follow appropriate guidelines when picking up their meals. The center welcomed Cedric Coad as its new board chairman, replacing James Hodge. The center also welcomed a new executive director last year, Mack Graham. The Staten Island native has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Stony Brook University and earned a master's degree in nonprofit leadership from Fordham University in 2017. At Stony Brook, he had an internship at Warner Music Group and Universal Music Group. While interning in the music industry, Graham worked with the New York Urban League. He also was a grassroots fundraiser. Herald File Photo

From family tragedy to

WRESTLING TRIUMPTH By Tony Bellissimo

ong Beach loves a hero. The city got one in the guise of Dunia Sibomana, who came to the United States in November, 2015 for surgery. A native of Congo, in Central Africa, he had been attacked by several wild chimpanzees as he and two family members played near Virunga National Park near his hometown. His family members were killed but Duniua, then 6, survived but was left with life-altering facial injuries. His lips were torn off, his cheek was lacerated and he suffered muscle damage that made it hard to swallow or talk. Dunia underwent more than a dozen surgeries, the first in 2016 at Stony Brook University's Children's Hospital to restore his appearance and facial functions. Since he came to Long Beach, his fellow students, teachers and neighbors rallied around him. And now he’s found a home here, where he truly has settled in. And has captured the attention of the city. During a Sunday afternoon in early February, at Nassau Community College, Dunia, an eighth grader, captured the Nassau Division I 102-pound title with a LIVING IN LONG BEACH - 2022-2023

14-2 major decision over Massapequa’s Carlos Arango. The Long Beach City Council presented him with a plaque and he got a standing ovation from members of the crowd at City Hall at a February ceremony. The Long Beach Police Department also got involved, giving Dunia on a tour of the station house with Police Commissioner Ron Walsh.

Middle School — besides Nassau County wrestling champion. He began wrestling competitively four years ago in the Gladiators youth program, coached by Miguel Rodriguez, the Long Beach Middle School coach and a longtime varsity assistant. Rodriguez and his wife, Marissa, met Dunia in the summer of 2016 at a Skudin Surf camp, and they bonded almost instantly. In 2020, the Rodriguezes began the adoption process to make Dunia a member of their family. “He has a ton of energy,” Rodriguez said. “I coach soccer, wrestling and track, and he always went everywhere with me. He’s competitive in everything he does.” LIVING IN LONG BEACH - 2022-2023
