Village officials joined members of the Malverne american Legion post #44 for a Veterans day ceremony held at the Malverne train station.

Veterans Day honors heroes, preserves history By MADISoN GUSlER mgusler@liherald.com

Village of Malverne residents marked Veterans Day on Nov. 11 by joining an American Legion ceremony held at the train station, while village officials announced efforts to preserve a memorial bench in honor of a local Army hero. The Malverne American Legion Post #44 held its annual Veterans Day ceremony, with the help of village officials, at the Malverne LIRR station. The ceremony usually takes place at Chester A. Reese Veterans Memorial Park, where an honor roll is displayed with the names of residents who have served the country. But due to light snow flurries that fell in the morning, the event was moved inside at the nearby train station. “I want to thank everyone who come today to honor those who served and those

who never came home,” Ron West, the post’s commander, said. “Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. I share the pride you feel in being able to say you have served in the greatest military in the world.” Dozens of legion members and residents came together to mark the 71st Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War I. Veterans Day is celebrated at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. A 1954 act of Congress proclaimed Nov. 11 as Veterans Day to honor all military veterans. “I am grateful to be here with you to honor all the veterans who came before us, those who stood alongside us, and those who will come after us,” West said. “Your sacrifice represent the best of us and the best of America.” Malverne pays tribute to local veterans Continued on page 6

Nassau County honors its veterans

MALVERNE/WEST HEMPSTEAD HERALD — November 20, 2025

By DANIEL OFFNER Special to the Herald

In recognition of the thousands of men and women across Long Island who served or are actively serving in the United States Armed Forces, members of the Nassau County community gathered in front of the memorial at Eisenhower Park on Nov. 9 to honor local veterans for their courage and sacrifice. The Veterans Day ceremony, led by the United Veterans Organization of Nassau County, celebrated the respect, resilience, and dedication of servicemen and women, while emphasizing the importance of veteran agencies that support those returning from active duty. Morris Miller, past president and board member of the United Veterans Organization, served as master of ceremonies. “As long as we are alive, we will never ever forget about our brothers,” Miller said. “They may not be with us physically, but they’re with us right here in our hearts.” Eric Spinner, UVO chaplain and senior vice commander of Jewish War Veterans Post 652, led the convocation, offering a solemn prayer for all who have served. “As we gather this Veterans Day in memory of all who have served and those who continue to serve,” Spinner said, “bless and protect our nation. Be merciful to our honored dead, whose valor, courage, and heroism inspire us to noble action and eternal vigilance in preserving our priceless liberty and our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Spinner also led a poignant POW/ MIA remembrance ceremony honoring those who never returned home, explaining the symbolism of each item on the small table set in their honor. “As you enter the ceremony area today, you may have noticed a small table in a place of honor,” he said. “It is set for one, symbolizing the frailty of one prisoner alone against his or her suppressors.” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman thanked the veterans in attendance for their service and reflected on his family’s long history of military involvement. “Today sometimes gets confused with Memorial Day,” Blakeman said. “Memorial Day is a sacred day. Not a holiday, but a day to remember those who died in the line of duty. Today is more of a celebration of the brave men and women who joined our armed forces to protect our freedom.” Blakeman shared that both of his parents served during World War II, his son completed a five-year tour with the U.S. Marine Corps, and his nephew, who died on Sept. 11, 2001, was an U.S. Army veteran. “Today, I am honored to be in your presence, to be your county executive, and to celebrate all of those brave and courageous men and women who served in the armed forces of the United States of America,” Blakeman said. “May God

Sergeant at Arms Paul Masi led the Adavancement of Colors into the ceremony. bless you all, may God bless them, and may God bless America.” Nassau County Comptroller Elaine Phillips commended veterans’ advocates for their tireless work. “What they do isn’t fancy,” Phillips said. “It doesn’t get the limelight, but there is no one that works harder for our veterans than Ralph Esposito.” She added that what makes Nassau County so special are the roughly 45,000 veterans who live here. “In Nassau County, we will never forget. We will never stop honoring. We will never stop fighting for democracy,” Phillips said. Ralph Esposito, director of the Nassau County Veterans Service Agency, spoke about ongoing initiatives to support local veterans, including food drives and plans for a new housing project in Island Park. During the ceremony, he personally thanked Blakeman for recently signing over the deed to the former Long Beach Motor Inn site on Austin Boulevard to

the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. The charitable nonprofit, founded in honor of New York City firefighter Steven Siller — who died on Sept. 11, 2001 — has committed to building 57 units of veteran housing on the site. The Veterans Village will feature private bathrooms and kitchens in each unit, 24/7 on-site staff and clinicians, and services ranging from job training and entitlement advocacy to behavioral health care funded and operated by the foundation. “You don’t know how important that is, especially on Veterans Week,” Esposito said. “This means a lot. Our veterans suffer every day, but we’re out there to help. We’re always there for you, and we always will be, as long as I have breath in me.” The ceremony concluded with recognition of veterans from every branch of service, including those who fought in World War II and Korea, followed by a final salute from the Joint Armed Forces firing detail.

Ralph Esposito, who leads veteran services in Nassau County, spoke about new initiatives coming down the pipeline.

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, whose parents and son are veterans, addressed the crowd. “As long as there are veterans among us, we will stand together to honor them,” Miller said. “Because remembering their sacrifice is how we keep their spirit alive.”

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

The Joy of Living Let us take a moment to remember that joy itself is a primary purpose of living. “This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.” — George Bernard Shaw “Well, your greatest joy definitely comes from doing something for another, especially when it was done with no thought of something in return.” — John Wooden “Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.” — Leo Buscaglia “A sense of humor...is needed armor. Joy in

one’s heart and some laughter on one’s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.” — Hugh Sidey “There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.” — Kahlil Gibran “The three factors that seem to have the greatest influence on increasing our happiness are our ability to reframe our situation more positively, our ability to experience gratitude, and our choice to be kind and generous.” — Dalai Lama “Things won are done, joy’s soul lies in the doing” — William Shakespeare “As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.” — Helen Keller

with projects held throughout the village. “We have the banner project, which many of the people in this room are featured on,” Mayor Tim Sullivan said. “We dedicate benches and trees in your honor. But it’s the aspect of never forgetting that is the most important thing we do as a community.” Sullivan shared details about a project the village and legion are collaborating on, preserving a memorial bench honoring Alfred Van Wagner, the late Malverne Park resident. Van Wagner, a U.S. Army private with the 94th Infantry Division, was in combat during World War II when he was killed on March 2, 1945, just months before the war ended. Based on records, Van Wagner was around 22 years old at the time of his death. Van Wagner, who received a Purple Heart for his sacrifice, is buried overseas in the Luxembourg American Cemetery in Luxembourg City. To honor his memory, Malver ne Park residents donated an engraved stone bench to his parents, Leo and Elizabeth, who kept the bench on the side of their home at 132 Dogwood Ave. In 1981, the couple moved and sold the house, which John Siegel’s parents purchased, while agreeing to maintain the bench. “They asked my folks to keep the bench. They said ‘yes,’” Siegel, 79, said. “When I bought the house from my folks, there was an understanding that I would keep the bench.” A veteran himself, Siegel sold the house and attempted to convince the new owners to keep the bench or contact him if they were going to get rid of it. When demolition began on the property in early October, Siegel wasn’t made aware of it. However, Sullivan, whose sister lives across the street, was informed and knew of the bench and its significant history. “They said to me, ‘If anything would happen to this home, we need to preserve this bench in honor of Alfred Van Wagner,’” Sullivan recalled. “The bench was maybe the only memorial for their son on American soil,” Sullivan added. “It meant that much to the community, so we certainly should preserve this bench.” Before demolition, Sullivan organized volunteers from the village’s

the village is making plans to preserve a bench honoring malverne park’s alfred Van Wagner, an army private who died during World War ii and is buried in Luxembourg. Department of Public Works and VDM Masonry, and with permission of the current owner, they managed to save the bench. It is being stored on Public Works’ property until members of the

legion find a permanent home for it. “It’s not the bench that we’re really talking about here,” Sullivan said. “It’s the memory of a fallen veteran whose remains are located halfway across the

world. This bench dedicated to him was a gift to that family by residents as a local memorial for him. “So it’s not only the Alfred Van Wagners of the world that we remember today,” Sullivan continued. “We remember, as a community, the sacrifices of those who gave their all, the sacrifices of you and your families.” Before the Veterans Day ceremony, the Malverne Historical and Preservation Society treated all Malverne residents who have served the country to a free continental breakfast at the Joseph L. Landers Memorial Restoration Historical House at 369 Ocean Ave. Legion members, the historical society board, and local veterans have attended the breakfast each year. “It’s our honor and privilege to do this because if it weren’t for them, we would not be here today,” David Weinstein, historical society president, said. “We want to thank them for their service, what they’ve done and what they continue to do.”

Herald honors environmental leadership By ABBEY-ROSE SALVEMINI asalvemini@liherald.com

Across Long Island, a growing number of businesses are leading the charge toward a cleaner, more sustainable future. From small family-owned shops to large companies embracing environmentally conscious practices, local enterprises are proving that environmental responsibility and economic success can go hand in hand. These efforts not only help reduce the region’s carbon footprint but also strengthen the local economy by inspiring innovation and creating green jobs. Nearly 30 local businesses gathered at the Heritage Club in Bethpage for an event hosted by the Herald, celebrating sustainability and community impact on Oct. 29 The ceremony began with welcoming remarks from Stuart Richner, CEO of Richner Communications, who emphasized the importance of recognizing businesses that prioritize sustainability and help shape a greener future for Long Island. “It is a pleasure to welcome you to the inaugural GreenBiz Awards, where we come together to celebrate the businesses and individuals who are leading the charge for a more sustainable future, right here on Long Island,” he said. “Tonight, we honor those who are driving real change. Reducing waste, conserving energy and protecting the natural beauty that makes Long Island such a special place to live, work and raise our families.” The evening’s emcee, Jill Conway, is a former New York television news reporter and anchor with more than 20 years of experience. She is the founder of Powerful Women USA and host of the award-winning podcast Secrets of Powerful Women, and helped facilitate the event’s program. Part of the event’s ticket proceeds support Save the Sound, an organization dedicated to protecting Long Island and Connecticut’s land, air and water through science, legal action and community initiatives. Honoree Christine Kiourtsis, president of Renewable Recycling, Inc., was recognized in the Recycling category for her innovative work in textile and material recovery. Inspired by the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, she began recycling discarded mattresses and box springs, discovering that up to 90 percent of their materials can be reused. Through Renewable Recycling, Kiourtsis helps keep waste out of landfills, reduce transport costs and save taxpayer money. “It’s really important to utilize tax money in a better way than putting it in the dump,” Kiourtsis said. Marshall Brown, president and cofounder of Long Island Conservancy Spadefood Ecosystem Solutions, was honored in the Environmental Innovation category. Brown helped create a film called A River Between Us that led to the largest environmental restoration project in U.S. history. His upcom-

The team from Reworld. ing project focuses on implementing water treatment solutions for areas with wastewater or surface water. “We grow microbes on site, strains of common soil bacteria, but with special properties like what they eat in the absence of oxygen,” Brown said. “We take a sewage treatment plant, the microbes get to work, and half of the sludge, at least, gets eaten away.” Brown believes that the return on investment is a couple of months. President/LEED AP of Merritt Environmental Consulting Corp., Chuck Merritt, was recognized in the Environmental Consulting category. “On Long Island, we all drink the groundwater underneath our feet. So, we all have a responsibility to protect that natural resource,” said Merritt, who added that MECC is involved with a large developer in Mastic who is looking to redevelop land about a half a mile long. In the Waste Solutions category, Reworld is recognized for providing innovative and environmentally responsible waste management services to communities worldwide. Representative Ed Sandkuhi said that Reworld is expanding its engagement with local schools, teaching students about composting. “We raise dead vegetable gardens and use the compost to grow vegetables and not use fertilizers that are highly water soluble,” Sandkuhi said, adding how rewarding it is to see the children’s enthusiasm. Carrie Meek Gallagher, CEO of the Long Island Power Authority and a honoree in the Utilities category, notes that Long Island is particularly vulner-

Chuck Merritt from Merritt Environmental Consulting able to the effects of severe weather and climate change. “We are still trying to promote the adoption of solar, electric vehicles and heat pumps that are going to help us move towards a clean energy future,” she says, emphasizing LIPA’s ongoing commitment to supporting sustainable solutions for the region. Paraco Gas was honored in the Utilities category. Representative Dan Scicutella said that propane is a very

clean-burning fuel. For areas on the East end that don’t have access to natural gas, propane is a substitute. “We’re looking to expand and grow on the East End, companies from Route 112 and further East,” he said, noting that the company remains committed to environmental stewardship and community involvement. Recognized in the Engineering category, M&J Engineering is a multi-disciplinary engineering firm that provides a wide range of professional services. “As an engineer, we’re at the forefront of a lot of research studies,” M&J Representative Mohammad Malik said. “It’s our job to do what’s right for society and develop new ways to reduce carbon emissions,” Malik notes that M&J is involved in coastal resilience projects and highlights a Patchogue initiative that promotes green infrastructure. The Herald GreenBIZ Awards catalyze environmental stewardship and sustainable business practices. The event highlights and honors forwardthinking businesses and educators committed to eco-friendly practices, proving that sustainable operations can thrive alongside financial success. Gold sponsors of the event include The Long Island Conservancy, Reworld and Scott’s Miracle-Gro. Silver sponsors include the New York Offshore Wind Alliance, GreyMart, M&J Engineering, R&M Engineering, Stony Brook University, Edgewise Energy, GreenbergTraurig, Emtec, Merritt, Paraco, and Molloy University.

Malverne Cheer wins county championship By MADISON GUSLER mgusler@liherald.com

On Nov. 2, the Malverne High School Varsity Cheer team competed in the Nassau County Championship at Farmingdale State College. The team won the Section 8 Nassau County Gameday Cheer Championship. This allowed the team the opportunity to compete at the New York State Championships in Troy, NY on Nov. 9. “We are very grateful and appreciative of this,” Coach Nesha Sands, who has been with Malverne since 2016, said. “We started competing in 2017 and we were just kind of thrown into the competitive world, but year after year we’ve improved.” After qualifying for the county championships three previous years, this is the first time the team has won the title. “It literally brought tears to my eyes because we worked so hard,” co-captain Coralie Mitton, 17, said. “Every year we’re kind of rebuilding new bonds with new teammates, from rookies to people who have never been on the team before, but the season helps us connect even more,” Mitton, a senior, added. “We work so hard and it finally shows in our scores.” “We fought very hard and there were lots of obstacles we overcame,” senior co-captain Makiyah Harris, 17, said. “We showed everybody that we can really get through challenges and showed them what’s possible.” Competing in the Gameday Cheer competition, the team had to showcase two cheers, a situational cheer, which cheers on the offense or defense positions, and a team cheer, representing the school. They are also judged based on their dance choreography, performance, and stunting. “With the team being relatively new, it was hard in the beginning,” sophomore co-captain Angelina Williams, 15, said. “Not everyone knew the jumps or how to count, how to hit their motion tight. But seeing everybody grow was really nice.” “This is everyone’s first time going to states and I

Though the Malverne Cheer team did not make it to the final round at the state level, the new experience was inspiring for the team. “No matter our placement upstate, I’m happy because I know our whole team will learn while we’re there,” Mitton said. “We’ll come back stronger and harder every year.” “I’m so proud of our team,” Harris added. “We have a lot of new people learning a lot of new things, and we accomplished something our school hasn’t

yet.” “I’m happy Malverne is finally able to show what we’re made of,” Coach Danielle Hinds, who joined the team in 2017, said. “We’ve been the underdog for a very long time. We don’t have girls who are trained in cheerleading, freshman year they step into the gym with no experience and we’re able to build them into something great. So I’m proud of how far they’ve come from the beginning to the very end.” Show your support for the Malverne Cheer team by attending the cheer competition being at Malverne High School on Jan. 24.

Gillen weighs in on government shutdown jdalessandro@liherald.com

The federal government shutdown, the longest in U.S. history, ended after 43 days of uncertainty for those employed by the government or dependent on federally funded social programs. One of the many Democrats who voted against the agreement to end the shutdown was the 4th Congressional District’s Rep. Laura Gillen, because of Republicans’ refusal to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits. “I believe that we can fund the government and we can also make sure that people don’t lose their health insurance,” Gillen said, “and we’re doing everything we can to help the American people face the cost-of-living crisis that we are dealing with across this country.” The bill to reopen the government passed by a vote of 222 to 209, and was signed into law by President Trump. Afterward, Gillen released a statement, saying, “The spending bill passed today does nothing to prevent hardworking Long Islanders from being priced out of their health care. I voted no.” During the shutdown, the work of non-essential departments was halted, while employees of vital departments continued working without pay. Now, about 800,000 federal employees who had been furloughed or working without compensation will start receiving paychecks again, with back pay. The effects of the shutdown continued to be felt for days. The spending package restored full funding for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits through next September, but some of the nearly 42 million Americans who rely on the program were still waiting for resumption of their benefits days after the

bill was signed. And disruptions in service at the nation’s airports were expected to continue. Throughout the shutdown, Gillen visited various community groups to see how it was affecting them, including Long Island Cares, Innovative Daycare and a variety of Black- and brown-owned businesses throughout the district. “The hunger of our seniors and veterans should not be a political tool,” she said. Gillen will be up for re-election next year. Since the election of New York City’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, Gillen has had a message for her constituents: “I am extraordinarily different.” “My district knows me,” she said. “I was the first Democrat in 112 years to get elected in the town of Hempstead as a supervisor, and I’m going to run the same way I ran before, and that is as a centrist, moderate, fiscally prudent and responsible leader who actually wants to work in a bipartisan fashion to get things done.” Gillen expressed her intent to stay focused on the issues, national and local. “The most important thing is we need to be working in a bipartisan fashion to start fixing these problems — addressing the cost of health care, addressing the cost of groceries, addressing the cost of utilities, and finding concrete, fiscally responsible ways to solve these problems,” she said. Gillen’s office can put community members who are struggling in touch with local support groups. “Our district staff office is extremely attentive to the calls that come in,” she said. “If they need help with information about how to contact the (health care) exchange or how to access certain benefits, we provide that information to them.” Gillen’s office can be reached at (516) 739-3008.

Highlights of the utility’s spending plan for next year By ANGELINA ZINGARIELLO azingariello@liherald.com

The Long Island Power Authority has released its proposed 2026 budget, emphasizing affordability, grid reliability and clean-energy investment. The plan also details stronger oversight of Public Service Enterprise Group Long Island under a renewed management contract, and continued cost-saving measures that aim to lower bills for customers across Long Island and the Rockaways.

The LIPA—PSEG relationship LIPA is a nonprofit public utility that owns the electric transmission and distribution system serving Long Island and the Rockaways, and PSEG Long Island operates that system under contract. Since 2014, PSEG has handled daily grid operations, maintenance and customer service on LIPA’s behalf. The new five-year contract extension, effective Jan. 1, enhances oversight and accountability while maintaining the operational partnership. The agreement reduces management fees by an estimated $17 million and expands cost-control requirements. It also increases the number of measurable performance metrics, covering reliability, customer experience and fiscal management. LIPA officials say this framework ensures that PSEG’s performance will better align with affordability and clean energy goals through greater transparency and operational discipline.

Core spending plan and bill savings

Long-term plan, and public hearings

LIPA’s proposed 2026 operating budget totals about $4.4 billion, alongside a $1 billion capital plan supporting reliability, grid modernization and clean-energy infrastructure. The typical residential customer is projected to see a 3.3 percent decrease in their electric bill, roughly $6.53 less per month than in 2025. This reduction reflects a projected $219 million drop in power supply costs, driven by lower on-Island generation, decreased Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative allowance expenses and savings from the new Power and Fuel Management Services Agreement. The capital budget will rise roughly 3.1 percent, mainly due to refueling costs tied to LIPA’s 18 percent ownership stake in the Nine Mile Point 2 nuclear power plant. Despite inflation and higher labor costs, LIPA projects flat overall operating expenses, while maintaining around $1 billion in annual reliability investments.

LIPA’s long-term fiscal sustainability plan aims to reduce its debt-to-asset ratio from a projected 78 percent in 2025 to 70 percent by 2030, supporting stronger credit ratings and long-term financial health. The 2026 budget reflects roughly $1.4 billion in cumulative cost savings, equal to about 33 percent of customer bills, the result of over a decade of cost-control initiatives. The budget also includes $7.5 million for weatherization projects benefiting low- to moderate-income households, helping to reduce energy usage and improve affordability. Public hearings will be held on Nov. 24, at 10 a.m., at the H. Lee Dennison Building in Hauppauge; and the same day, at 6 p.m., at LIPA headquarters in Uniondale, with a virtual option available. Written comments are due by Nov. 28, and the LIPA board of trustees will vote on the final budget on Dec. 17.

Carving out her place The untold story of sculptor Emma Stebbins By Abbey Salvemini

H

istory gets a powerful rewrite at the Heckscher Museum of Art’s latest exhibition. “Emma Stebbins: Carving Out History” is a landmark installation that spotlights a pioneering neoclassical artist whose legacy has been long overlooked. Known for sculpting Central Park’s iconic Bethesda Fountain (immortalized in film and TV), Stebbins — a trailblazing female artist — was the first woman to receive a public art commission from New York City. Yet despite her accomplishments, her name has largely vanished from the art world’s narrative. Now Stebbins receives the recognition she has long deserved. “Carving Out History” firmly reestablishes her place at the forefront of 19th century American sculpture. It explores Stebbins’s bold artistic vision, her barrier-breaking career and her personal life — including her relationship with the renowned Shakespearean actress Charlotte Cushman at a time when such a relationship defied social norms. Stebbins’ works focused on unprecedented imagery of laborers, incisive depictions of literary and biblical subjects and moving portrait busts of her chosen family. Her sculpture was celebrated in the press and sought after by collectors In the mid-19th century. Since then, however, Stebbins fell into relative obscurity. Among the exhibit’s outstanding components, New York City comes to Long Island — via an immersive Virtual Reality experience. Visitors can “walk around” Central Park’s iconic Bethesda Fountain, bringing Stebbins’s most celebrated work to life in an entire new way. A special VR station gives everyone the illusion that Bethesda Fountain is right in front of them in Heckscher Park — through the use of their phones — offering a striking, life-sized view of Stebbins’s most iconic creation. Photos and selfies are encouraged! For many, this will be their first time learning the name behind the fountain — even if you’ve seen it countless times in person and on screen. The exhibit title — “Carving Out History” — reflects both Stebbins’s sculptural practice and the curatorial team’s broader goal: to reclaim and reframe her place in the American canon. This first-of-its-kind exhibit — reshapes how we understand one of our most groundbreaking — and overlooked — artists. “The exhibition itself is carving out a place

The Heckscher’s deep connection to the artist makes the venue especially significant. • Now through March 15 Museum founder August Heckscher had • Open Thursday through a family link to Stebbins — his uncle Sunday, noon-5 p.m. commissioned two of her major works, • Heckscher Museum of Art, Commerce and Industry, which have been 2 Prime Ave., Huntington • Visit Heckscher.org or part of the museum’s collection for over a call (631) 380-3230 for century. information on related Stebbins wasn’t just a woman succeeding programming in a male-dominated field — she also lived openly with her partner at a time when samesex relationships were taboo.

It depicts an archangel with incredible detail rendered in marble. The sculpture draws inspiration from a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. As Wurzelbacher explains: “The line ‘the angel gathers the prayers where he stands, and they turn into flowers in his hands’ captures the heart of the work. She paints a vivid image of the archangel holding a garland of flowers — each bloom symbolizing the prayers of the people.” One of the most significant outcomes of her research into Stebbins’s career has been the “discovery” of sculptures whose locations were previously unknown to scholars (one was found in the hallway of the Belfast Central Library!). Two significant works, The Lotus Eater (1863) and the aformentioned Sandalphon (1866), had been in a private collection for decades before being acquired by the museum. Both pieces underwent extensive conservation efforts, including cleaning their discolored marble surfaces and making careful repairs. For curators and staff, this exhibition is not only a professional milestone — it’s personal. “Even though we have a relatively small staff, we can still Sandalphon (also known as contribute to writing the story of American art history and Angel of Prayer, 1866), like bringing these overlooked figures to the public is something Lotus Eater, has been in a we take very seriously,” Wurzelbacher shares. private collection and likely Whether you’re familiar with these sculptures or someone have not been on public view in encountering Stebbins for the first time, this exhibit invites you more than 100 years.

For 50 years, two-time Grammy winner BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet has been hailed as the best Cajun band in the world. They’ve been making some of the most potent and popular Cajun music on the planet. Born out of the rich Acadian ancestry of its members, and created and driven by bandleader Michael Doucet’s spellbinding fiddle playing and soulful vocals, BeauSoleil is notorious for bringing even the most staid audience to its feet. Their distinctive sound derives from the distilled spirits of New Orleans jazz, blues rock, folk, swamp pop, Zydeco, country and bluegrass, captivating listeners from the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans, to Carnegie Hall, then all the way across the pond to Richard Thompson’s Meltdown Festival in the U.K. They are joined on this special tour by their good friend Thompson. An iconic figure in British folk-rock, Thompson — one of the founding members of Fairport Convention — is arguably the genre’s greatest triple threat: a dazzling guitarist, an outstanding songwriter, and a strong and evocative vocalist.

Adam Pascal Get ready for a powerhouse night with Broadway legend Adam Pascal — the original voice of Rent’s Roger (Broadway and film) and one of musical theater’s most electrifying performers. With a rock-and-roll edge and soul-stirring vocals, Pascal commands the stage in an unforgettable evening of showstoppers, storytelling, and pure star power. From “Rent” and Aida” to “Chess,” “Chicago,” “Something Ro’tten!” and beyond, Adam brings the house down with iconic hits, guitar licks and rock tunes — all fueled by the raw passion that made him a Broadway icon. The Tony-nominated actor-musician didn’t grow up with aspirations of becoming a Broadway star. But when his childhood friend Idina Menzel asked if he would audition for an off-Broadway musical called “Rent,” he thought “Why not?” and the rest is history. Pascal shares insights into his personal journey with his audience, bringing with him a wealth of experience and plenty of personal anecdotes.

Mark Tremonti Sings Frank Sinatra ‘Christmas Special’

From redefining rock to reimagining Sinatra, Grammy-winning musician Mark Tremonti, backed by members of Frank Sinatra’s original orchestra, brings his timeless swing and holiday spirit to the Paramount. The lights go down. Familiar horns pipe up from a world-class orchestra as piano twinkles like the jackpot lights on a winning slot machine. Then, the voice kicks in. It has all of the smoky splendor those first few notes hinted at, but it ain’t Ol’ Blue Eyes. In a tailored suit with microphone in hand, it’s Mark Tremonti. The multiplatinum musician sounds just as at home paying homage to the catalog of Frank Sinatra as he does fronting Tremonti or shredding his soul out as the guitarist for Alter Bridge and Creed. Moreover, he’s doing it for a reason that would make the Chairman of the Board proud. Accompanied by surviving members of Sinatra’s band as well as various top-notch players, Tremonti cut 14 classics for his Tremonti Sings Sinatra album, which he gifted to the National Down Syndrome Society as part of his new organization Take A Chance For Charity. All album proceeds go to NDSS to help those with developmental disabilities.

The restored site bustles with activity as it readies for an old-fashioned Thanksgiving: wood-burning stoves, beehive ovens and hearths are fired up to prepare foods and baked goods made from 19th-century recipes. Culinary exhibits include the “spitting” and roasting of turkey in a tin reflector oven beside the Williams House hearth and preparation of pies at the Powell House.

Get a turkey from the farm, put him in the oven. The oven has to be hot and you cook it for 7 minutes and 8 seconds. Then it’s turkey that we can eat.”

All this just to add a bathroom?

Q. I’ve been living in my house for 41 years, and just wanted to add a bathroom at the back, next to my den, for my elderly father. It’s just a bathroom, but when I met with an architect, he told me he had to do plans for the whole house. I thought that his fee and the amount of work were ridiculous just for a bathroom, so I got a draftsman for one-third the cost. It’s now five years later, I still have no permit, and the plans were rejected because the reviewer wants to see more information, including house plans. I should have listened to the architect because the draftsman, it turns out, won’t answer phone calls, and he ended up paying another architect to seal the plans, which were inadequate, anyway. So I’m out the money for bad plans and still need the bathroom, since my father can’t use stairs. Why would the town need plans for the whole house? It makes no sense. A. About 10 years ago, they started with the explanation that whole house plans were needed, because it was suspected that the house might have been used by a previous owner for more than one family, and the municipality wanted to see current conditions to compare with original plans to see if changes need to be put on record. Then it became onte eeper required that plans needed to be provided, because the house either wasn’t on record, if it was built before 1930, before records were kept, or the addition required a zoning variance because it might increase the allowable area of the home’s footprint on the lot. Any way you examine the issues, the architect you first interviewed was correct, but it wasn’t what you wanted to hear. Just to get the job, the second person, not even a qualified professional, gave you a low-ball figure and downplayed what was needed. It doesn’t surprise me to hear about your predicament, because this is a constant problem. The most difficult part is that your municipality is pretty capable of notifying you about what a great job they’re doing, but not really giving you alerts about the fact that you may want to check your house records to be sure that you won’t feel ambushed when you get a violation notice for your shed or fence. They could explain that you need to keep street corners clear of taller fences and foliage that can cause car accidents, or that your finished basement may someday delay your house sale while you scramble for a permit. The reason I started writing this column is because almost nobody else figured out that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” and that people need to know how to avoid problems. Instead, neither the downward spiral of surprising people nor the equally worse problem of people avoiding the costly inevitable dilemma produces a better outcome. Good luck.

he phrase “Never forget” should not be taken lightly. I often hear it used as a motivational charge to action, but then the next news cycle soon grabs our attention and the charge we took up was left behind for the history books. As we celebrated Veterans Day, we didn’t take “Never forget” for granted, because we don’t forget our veterans here in our village. We are proud of our active American Legion post, its members’ notable contributions to Tim our community and the communisullivan ty’s collaboration with and support of them. Our annual Veterans Day ceremony is always well attended, and our annual Memorial Day Parade is typically filled with plenty of traditional community charm and tributes to those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. When we celebrated Malverne’s centennial, our Veterans Banner Project took center stage, and continues to be an

annual celebration of those who served and those who are actively serving our country. We plant trees in their honor, we dedicate benches to their sacrifice, and we have many other memorials that act as lasting reminders of what it means to sacrifice oneself for others. It was brought to my attention recently by a village resident that a home that had been fenced off for demolition contained a memorial bench in honor of a young man who lost his life in World War II. Army Pvt. Alfred Van Wagner was killed in action on March 2, 1945. The residents of Malverne Park gave his family a beautiful stone bench as a personal memorial for their brave son, whose remains are buried across the world in a cemetery in Luxembourg. As with the home, it was revealed to us that the bench was due to be discarded. Even though the Van Wagner home was across the street from our municipal border, we felt that the preservation of this soldier’s sacrifice transcended our otherwise traditional obligations and authority. Preserving our history and paying

p

tribute to those who gave their all is the hallmark of who we are. So we assembled a team of volunteers from the village, our Department of Public Works and a local contracting company to work with American Legion Post 44 to find a new resting place for this important memorial. We rescued it from ruin, and it will be placed in a location where we can properly pay homage to Van Wagner’s sacrifice and to all those who have sacrificed before, alongside and after him. We will not forget. Walking down Hempstead Avenue in Malverne between Memorial Day and Veterans Day is an educational opportunity to learn more about others like Van Wagner. Not everyone featured on our banners has perished in their service to our country, but all have served unselfishly, and often continue to serve following their careers in the military. Beyond the battlefield, many fill visible roles in the American Legion or VFW, or more subtle ones, such as in service to God in one of our houses of worship. You may know them as leaders in one of our civic groups, organizing

reserving our history and paying tribute to those who gave their all is who we are.

community activities and, sometimes, active in political office. They are woven into the fabric of our community, and along with their predecessors, are examples of our commitment to being there for one another. It is imperative that we are now there for them. A recent achievement, in which Nassau County deeded a dilapidated old motel in Island Park to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, to be redeveloped into a village for veterans, is the definition of good government at work. I couldn’t be more excited about this development, or prouder of our other partners in government for the foresight and dedication to this project. It will provide not only good, clean, safe and affordable housing to these deserving people, but also services that cater to their wellbeing, right here in Nassau County. This is exactly how we should remember our veterans — through action and accommodation for the immeasurable sacrifices they have made for us. Bold, bright and lasting initiatives, both big and small, have been made in our community so that the men and women who have served in our military will never be forgotten. We truly will never forget. Tim Sullivan is the mayor of Malverne.

The cost of living is driving families out of New York

E

verywhere I go, from community meetings to the grocery store checkout line, the same concern rises to the surface: “I love New York, but I don’t know how much longer I can afford to stay.” That refrain has become far too common in every corner of our state. The affordability crisis in New York is not abstract. It’s the family choosing between groceries and heating their home. It’s the young couple who paTricia can’t find a home canzonEri-FiTzpaTrick under $700,000, or the retirees watching their property taxes — driven largely by unfunded mandates from Albany — eat away at their fixed income. It’s the small business owner who loves her town but can’t compete with states where energy, rent and labor costs are a fraction of what they are here. This is the story of countless New Yorkers who love where they live but increasingly wonder whether they can afford to stay. Median home prices remain among the highest in the nation, taxes continue to rise and the costs of

daily life, from groceries to child care to utilities, show no signs of slowing down. These challenges aren’t new, nor are they inevitable. They’re the result of years of misguided priorities in Albany. Instead of easing the financial strain on middleclass families, lawmakers have chosen policies that make it even harder to live, work and raise a family here. Rather than focusing on making life more affordable for working New Yorkers, Albany has treated taxpayers as a bottomless piggybank as the annual state budget has skyrocketed to more than a quarter-trillion dollars. Compare that with Florida, where the budget is less than half of New York’s despite a larger population. We can’t wish affordability into existence. We have to create it through discipline, pragmatism and policies grounded in reality, not slogans. That’s why I find it troubling when some, like New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, embrace handouts and socialism while turning away from capitalism. Aspirations are important, but leadership requires acknowledging limits and setting priorities. The reality is, New York is able to afford such a formidable bud-

get thanks to capitalism. In a recent report on Wall Street profits, the state comptroller noted that the “securities industry’s gains provide an important boost for tax revenues that support critical investments in housing, transportation, and public services that New Yorkers depend on.” New York’s billionaires will weather the affordability crisis without much difficulty, but the real concern is if they leave the state, taking their income with them. If that happens, the state loses the income tax on that high income — substantial revenue that funds countless programs that everyday New Yorkers rely on. Following the recent election, reports have surfaced of city residents considering relocation, once again looking to Florida, the Carolinas and Texas for economic stability. As a representative of a district that borders the city, I worry about the ripple effects that such an exodus could have on Long Island. That’s why I constantly talk about the need for legislation to reduce the cost of child care by offering tax incentives to employers that offer or sponsor child care programs. As someone who manages her household budget and sees how out of control utility bills have got-

worry about the ripple effects on Long Island of an exodus from New York City.

ten for New Yorkers, I’ve introduced legislation to place a moratorium on new taxes and fees on energy bills, as well as to eliminate a state-mandated tax that increases our bills from Liberty Water. Further, I’ve focused on housing affordability by cosponsoring legislation to establish a First Home Buyers Savings program, to create a new tax-advantaged account to help residents afford their first home, as well as legislation to double the STAR exemption, increase the amount of retirement income that is exempt from state income tax, and cut middle-income tax rates to help them afford to keep it. New Yorkers deserve leadership that puts their financial stability first and offers practical solutions to create that stability. Government control and “free” programs aren’t the answer. They deserve a government that values fiscal responsibility, supports small businesses and gives families a fair chance to stay in the communities they call home. There’s still time to turn things around. But in doing so, we must cut red tape, say no to new taxes and make realistic choices about spending. It requires us to remember that the government doesn’t create prosperity; people do. Our job is to make it possible for them to thrive here.

Rekindling community with face-to-face talk

i

n an age when digital arguments erupt faster than we can refresh our screens, it has become almost instinctual to dive into online debates with strangers. Facebook threads balloon into battlegrounds, discussions on X collapse into insults and Reddit comment chains can devolve into tribal shouting matches. For many, this ritual has become a daily habit — almost a sport. Yet it leaves most people feeling drained, angry, unheard and oddly isolated. There’s a healthier, more human alternative: step away from the glowing screen and go meet your neighbors face to face. It sounds old-fashioned, almost quaint, but that simplicity is exactly what makes it powerful. When we talk to people in person — people who live next door, down the street or across the hall — we’re reminded that disagreements do not automatically make someone an enemy. You hear their tone of voice, notice their expressions and see the full, complex person behind the viewpoint. The humanity that gets flattened into a five-word comment reappears. And so does your own. Online, a single sentence can turn someone into a villain in your mind. A meme can become a stand-in for an entire group you’ve never actually spoken to. Algorithms feed outrage because outrage keeps you scrolling. But face-toface conversations break that cycle.

They prioritize curiosity over hostility, nuance over certainty, and listening over scoring points. This shift is good for both civic and personal health. Psychologists have long known that real-world social interactions reduce anxiety, increase life satisfaction and strengthen emotional resilience. Sitting with someone, even someone who has different opinions, calms the nervous system in ways digital communication never can. You breathe more slowly. You think more clearly. You remember that disagreements don’t have to be disagreeable. There’s also something grounding about being part of a physical community rather than a virtual crowd. The person you’re talking to isn’t a random stranger with an anonymous avatar; they’re someone who shares your sidewalk, your grocery store, your weather and your local challenges. That shared context encourages mutual respect. You might still disagree — honestly, you probably will — but the disagreement becomes a conversation, not a war. And consider the ripple effects. When neighbors talk, they build trust. When trust grows, communities become stronger, safer and more resilient. People are more likely to help one another, support local initiatives, and intervene when someone is struggling. Civil discourse becomes possible again — something increasingly rare in a world where

shouting has replaced dialogue. Face-to-face conversations also make room for humility. Online arguments often are myopic and pernicious. In person, you’re more likely to acknowledge what you don’t know, to soften your stance or to revise your thinking. Most surprisingly, you might even discover that the “other side” isn’t as far away as the internet insists. Maybe you share concerns, values or experiences. Maybe you’re both frustrated by the same problems, even if you imagine different solutions. Or maybe you simply end up respecting each other enough to continue the conversation later. And you may learn something new about an issue or about your community — or even about yourself. That’s the heart of a healthy society — not unanimous agreement, but constructive connection. If we truly want better conversations, less stress and stronger communities, the solution isn’t another heated thread or another algorithm-driven argument. There are many ways to move from behind the screen and interact with others in real life. It’s going out to dinner with friends, joining a club, becoming part of a sports team or taking a continuing education class. The internet may connect us instantly, but only face-to-face interactions remind us why connection matters in the first place.

opinions

a

t this time of year, many families with high school students visit colleges. Some visit nearby campuses that are within reach academically and financially, while others travel to what they consider more prestigious institutions. Whichever the choice, it’s imperative for parents and prospective students to plan carefully. Students and their families should consider how far from home is acceptable. Will the student be most comfortable in a large city, a suburban or a rural roBerT a. setting area? Will he or she live on camsCoTT pus, in the town or at home? How large a campus is acceptable? Some universities have 50,000 or more students, and some colleges have fewer than 1,500. The best fit is one that is not only challenging for academic and personal growth, but also caring and focused on student achievement. The cost of tuition, fees, room, board, books and supplies is another consideration. Some families are willing to borrow to send their child to a prestigious college. If a good education and preparation for life are the goals, that isn’t

necessary. It’s better to find the best fit for the student. Families and students should use publicly available information such as college guides and the federal College Scorecard to decide on a list of colleges to visit and examine more closely. A high school guidance counselor should have a library of materials, and should know about where former students have gone to college. According to the National Survey of Student Engagement 2017-23, students at most colleges, the least selective as well as the most selective, rate their campus experience about the same on measures of critical thinking and analysis, quantitative reasoning, collaboration with peers, access to diverse perspectives and student-faculty interactions. On the following measures, however, more selective colleges provide the biggest impact: internships, leadership opportunities, working on research with faculty, and studying abroad. The federal College Scorecard can be a useful tool for examining general data about colleges and comparing institutions, but it cannot convey the personality of an institution. A publication such as the “Fiske Guide to Colleges” gives a fuller picture of a campus. After deciding on where to visit, call

for an appointment, ask to sit in on a class, talk to a faculty member and current students, tour a residence hall, and check out the dining facilities. Afterward, reflect on the following:

i

t’s such an important decision, and the answers to so many questions figure into it.

■ Feel: Were the students, faculty and staff you met on campus friendly and spontaneous, or were they cold and scripted? ■ Admissions: What weight is given to test scores? Of what influence are athletic prowess or alumni connections in the admissions process?

■ Academics: Are students assigned a faculty adviser? How easy is it to change majors? Who provides guidance on graduate studies and careers? ■ Who teaches? Do full-time faculty teach undergraduates, or is most instruction done by graduate assistants? ■ Enrollment: Is the student body economically diverse? ■ Financial aid: Will financial aid awards be adjusted for tuition increases? ■ Health and safety: Does the campus have a health center? Does the college provide transportation to go shopping off campus? ■ Housing and food service: Is there

sufficient residential-hall space to house all undergraduates, or must students live in fraternity and sorority houses or off campus? Does the dining hall offer meals three times a day, seven days a week when classes are in session? ■ Social life: Does the campus offer a rich cultural life and support a variety of clubs and organizations, or do Greek societies dominate the social scene? Do many students leave campus on the weekend? ■ Career placement: Does the career office offer information about jobs on campus and in the summer? Does it have information on internships, both paid and voluntary? Who are some successful alumni in the student’s fields of interest? While college graduates have improved outcomes in income, employment, health and civic engagement, college requires an investment of time, energy and intellect as well as money. So it’s important that the college and the student “fit” together in a way that is not only challenging but supportive. The right fit is more important than prestige. College is intended to enrich your life as well as your wallet. Robert A. Scott is president emeritus of Adelphi University and a co-author of “Letters to Students: What it Means to be a College Graduate.”
