Drama students attend L.I. Theater Festival By ALYSSA R. GRIFFIN agriffin@liherald.com
The Long Island High School Theatre Festival returned to Molloy University for an action-packed day for area high school students. This fourth-annual event gave students a chance to learn tips and tricks from the world of theater. Molloy brought together roughly 200 students from Bay Shore, Bethpage, Chaminade, Hewlett, Mineola, Mount Sinai, Plainedge, South Side, Syosset, and Wantagh for a day filled with collaborative activities, performances, and workshops. Each session was designed to expand skills and provide meaningful connections with peers and theater professionals. Intermediate Theatre and College Modern Drama students from Hewlett High School participated in workshops in Shakespeare, Improv, Dance, Musical Theatre, Ensemble Singing, Stage Combat and more. “Our annual trip to the Long Island HS Theatre Festival has been one of our most anticipated events,” Dawn DeMaio, English and Theatre Arts teacher wrote in an email. “Students look forward to working with those from other schools in workshops of their choice. They attend classes led by Broadway professionals, which is an exciting and memorable opportunity.” This year’s festival, held on Nov. 7, had a special twist with the return of

Molloy CAP21 alum Diego Enrico to the Madison Theatre stage. Enrico, now a Broadway star playing Elder Cunningham in “The Book of Mormon,” shared his experiences with the students. “It’s really fun to be back so soon to the Madison Theatre,” he said. “And it’s super nostalgic. Having been around the country doing shows and performing in different theaters, I sort of took this space for granted in college. It’s really a nice
full-circle moment to come back and experience it in a totally different light.” The festival began inside the theater, where students were introduced to Enrico. “Diego is an alum of the program here,” said James Bulleri, department operations director for CAP21. “We run a BFA musical theater program at CAP21 and we’re really proud of all of our alums.”
Enrico assured students that he was there to offer encouragement and guidance. “There’s so many voices telling you so many different things,” Enrico said. “I remember what that feeling was like, and looking for who I was in that moment was scary. I’m sure a lot of you are going through the same thing, but just know that you’re not alone in that situation.” After his keynote, students had the opportunity to ask questions before moving to their designated workshops. “This is an opportunity for students to come to Molloy and not only experience Molloy itself, but also to explore what they can do in theater,” Bulleri said. Students participated in hands-on workshops including acting, choreography, and improvisation, with one workshop led by Enrico himself. Meanwhile, teachers from each visiting high school attended a session on high school theater production. Each student could visit three workshops. “Meeting and working with Diego was so inspiring,” said Ben Behar, a student who attended the festival. “He taught me that no matter what, I’m always the best version of myself—and that who I am can serve so many different purposes, both on stage and in everyday life. Being in the same room with a professional actor who’s now on Broadway was truly lifechanging.” For more information on Molloy’s CAP21 program, visit Molloy.edu.

Cedarhurst honors veterans at Nov. 11 ceremony Correspondent
For some, it was a day of remembrance. For others, a day of celebration. But for all those who attended the Village of Cedarhurst’s annual Veteran’s Day commemoration, it became a time of unity, spanning across generations. “It’s very important for us to remember, honor, and respect our veterans,” said Village of Cedarhurst Mayor Benjamin Weinstock. “Everything we have in this country is dependent on the sacrifice that our veterans have made.” The crowd of local veterans, their families, local officials and patriotic supporters packed into Cedarhurst Village Hall at 11 a.m. on November 11th, a symbolic gesture to the holiday formerly known as Armistice Day. After a reciting of the pledge of allegiance, and a rendition of the national anthem performed by the Lawrence High School Vocal Ensemble, local civic leaders celebrated those veterans in attendance with words of pride. That includes Frank Santora, commander of the John J. Olivieri Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1582 in Inwood. Santora, who has led Veteran’s Day commemorations throughout the Five Towns in years past, celebrated those in attendance that took their country’s call. “Veterans, today we walk proudly,” Santora said. “We walk proudly today because we answered our country’s call,

Marcus, of Woodmere, was also inducted into the New York State Senate’s Veterans Hall of Fame in 2020. “To see a World War II veteran here, this is great,” Santora said. “These
[WWII veterans], they dealt with unbelievable conditions. Yet, they persevered, and they did their job.” New York State Assemblyman and Deputy Mayor of Cedarhurst Ari Brown spoke of a fellow World War II veteran that influenced both his life and the lives of many throughout his community, the late, former Cedarhurst Mayor Andrew J. Parise.
“One of the most important parts of my life was my experience here in Village Hall where I got to meet a very remarkable individual who we all love and cherish, Mayor Parise,” Brown said. A Purple Heart recipient for his work in the Army, Parise fought across Central Europe, including in France, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Brown recounted conversations when Parise spoke of his time liberating Buchenwald, a concentration camp in central Germany. “I got to sit with him and hear some of the most remarkable events of history,” Brown added. No matter the generation, war, or tour, each veteran felt a calling to serve our country. For some, it came through giving back to the country that provided a new life. “I came to live in this country when I was eight years old, and this country gave me freedom,” said Marianela Lizana Plaza, Commander of LawrenceCedarhurst American Legion Post 339. “Joining the Marine Corps was my way of fulfilling the obligation of citizenship, and it was my attempt to begin repaying the debt of gratitude I felt for the life I was given.” All in all, it proved to be a celebration of unity and pride amongst our nation’s heroes. “My fellow veterans, I am so proud to share this day with you,” Plaza said. “May God bless our veterans and the United States of America.”
Green Acres plans annual Thanksgiving turkey giveaway By ANGELINA ZINGARIELLO azingariello@liherald.com
Thanksgiving season will again bring one of Long Island’s largest single-day turkey distributions to Valley Stream, as Green Acres Mall prepares to provide 1,000 turkeys to local families in need on Nov. 19. The giveaway is part of a long-standing tradition at Green Acres, with the turkey distribution program running for a decade. Over the years, the event has grown into a coordinated, multi-agency distribution system involving elected officials, community groups, law enforcement and civic leaders. “Being part of the Green Acres Gives Back 1000 Turkey Giveaway is a privilege,” Assemblyman and Village of Cedarhurst Deputy Mayor Ari Brown wrote in an email. “Helping families share a warm Thanksgiving meal reflects the compassion and unity that define our community, and I’m grateful to stand with those who make this kindness possible.” The giveaway is not firstcome, first-served at the mall,
and the turkeys will not be available for walk-ups at Green Acres on the day of the event. All 1,000 turkeys have already been allocated through elected officials and community-based organizations, which are handling their own distribution plans. Some are using sign-ups, while others are holding scheduled handouts, but all of them will collect and distribute the turkeys on the same day because the product is frozen and cannot be stored on site. The distribution includes traditional, kosher and halal turkeys, reflecting the diversity of the communities surrounding Green Acres. The mall has been purchasing the turkeys from multiple distributors, since no single source carries all three types. Frozen shipments are slated to arrive by truck, and partner offices and organizations are responsible for picking them up and transferring them to local households the same day. “Green Acres Gives Back offers me the opportunity to help members of my district in making their Thanksgiving holiday special,” Councilwoman Melissa “Missy” Miller

1,000 turkeys will be distributed by the Green Acres Mall on Nov. 19. wrote in an email. “Thank you or your generosity.” The effort is part of a larger year-round community program operated by Green Acres and its parent company, Macerich. Green Acres is one of three New York properties under Macerich ownership that hosts a Thanksgiving turkey initiative, with Kings Plaza Shopping Center in
Brooklyn and Queens Center also operating separate holiday distributions. At Green Acres, the project has expanded over time, and the current 1,000-turkey giveaway has been in place for the past three years. Food insecurity across the region continues to shape demand for the program. Rising grocery costs and the
recent pause in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits have increased the need for direct food support heading into the holiday season. The purpose of the distribution is to ensure that families who may not otherwise be able to purchase a turkey are still able to sit down to a traditional Thanksgiving meal. More than 20 organizations, along with community and civic partners, are also involved, such as the JCC of the Greater Five Towns Food Pantry, Kosher Response’s Gabriel Boxer, also known as the “Kosher Guru,” the Mill Brook Civic Association, officers from the 4th and 5th precincts of the Nassau County Police Department and additional participating organizations. Each is responsible for distributing its share of turkeys directly to households that it has identified in advance. “What Green Acres has been doing for our community and keep doing is definitely leading by example showing how much they care and are giving back,” Gabriel Boxer, “The Kosher Guru”, wrote in an email.

The Joy 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.

During the visit, the firefighters demonstrated the special protective clothing and life-saving tools they use every day. Students learned how these heroes stay safe while helping others during emergencies. It was a memorable way to introduce young learners to fire safety in a friendly and accessible way.

Gillen weighs in on government shutdown After voting against last week’s reopening, she underscores the importance of affordable health care By JOSEPH D’ALESSANDRO 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.

na Makaveyev said. “This is my 24th year, and since I came, I know that Kristallnacht, Nov. 9, is always observed by the congregation.” Every year, the temple asks its congregation — including students from local schools — to participate. This year, Temple Israel’s program, “Inspiring Voices of Light and Hope: A Kristallnacht Commemoration” will feature stories of survival from a Queens couple,

Judith and Gabor Gross. “To have these two people, who are husband and wife, come in to speak is very special,” Makaveyev said. “We’re trying to honor the memories of those who are not with us anymore, but also, to make sure those who are still alive and present a platform to share their remarkable stories of surviving.”
Gabor Gross shares his story of surviving the Holocaust and how he met his wife, Judith.

Jewish student leaders gain new insights ContinUEd From PagE 1
she learned to reach out to more students at Hewlett High, where about 20 students usually gather at the JSU’s weekly Thursday meetings. “I want to give the students new ways to embrace their Judaism and help them speak up about their feelings regarding antisemitism,” Feygin said. “Also, how to advocate for Israel and themselves.” Being a young, Jewish student in today’s society, she said, means you have to be brave and be able to stand up for yourself. “You have to be able to know when someone is speaking bad and spreading lies about your people, your community and Israel,” she said. Dina Heller, another Hewlett representative, has been involved in JSU since her freshman year, and currently oversees the chapter’s presence on social media. “I make videos, interview people and film a lot of content for them,” Heller said. “I also encourage people to come to events, and I try to build a good community with it.” Heller, who transferred from the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway, in Lawrence, to Hewlett High as a freshman, said she has found solace in the JSU. “It’s really important to have some sort of involvement in something so amazing,” she said. “You definitely feel the community when you’re there, and it brings a lot of people together. It’s ultimately such an amazing organization.” She attended the conference because a lot of students have said it’s their favorite event of the year. “It was a really amazing experience to go, and
I’m really happy that I went,” Heller said. “I learned a lot and made a lot of new friends. I took away a lot of leadership skills and how to attract new members.” It’s important to learn how to promote your chapter, she said, as well as how being in JSU can help prepare you for college, and how to deal with antisemitism protests. “Your identity of being Jewish is not something that everybody has, and it’s an amazing community,” Heller said. “You don’t realize how amazing it is until you participate in something like JSU. Your involvement in it shows a lot about you as a person, and you won’t experience this anywhere else.” The student representatives from Nassau County also included Tali Eisner, of John F. Kennedy High School in Bellmore. Eisner, who lives in Merrick, is a senior, and serves as co-president of her chapter and is a member of the state executive board. She has been involved with JSU since her freshman year. “It’s so much more than a club,” Eisner said. “It’s a community and outside organization for Jewish teens to express themselves. It is such a nice environment — I love it.” This was the second time she attended the conference, and she said she has learned new things each time. “I feel like as a teenager during this time is the most crucial time to be involved,” she said. “It meant a lot to be around people who share the same values as me and who are all there for the same reason. We all want to express our Judaism and celebrate it in a time where it’s not celebrated right now.”

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.
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.

Congresswoman Laura Gillen announced that Congregation Sons of Israel in Woodmere has been awarded $350,000 in federal funding through the Nonprofit Security Grant Program. This is part of a total of $2,250,000 awarded to houses of worship and nonprofits in New York’s Fourth Congressional District. “Long Islanders must be safe in their houses of worship,” Gillen wrote in a news release. “I congratulate Congregation Sons of Israel for securing $350,000 in new federal security funding through the Nonprofit Security Grant Program. As we face an increase in antisemitism, hate and violent threats, I will continue to work with all our houses of worship to bring federal dollars back to Long Island and keep worshippers safe.”
Gillen has supported increasing funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program and urged FEMA to make grants available after months of delay. In September, Gillen brought together interfaith religious leaders at Hofstra University to help prepare houses of worship in NY-04 to apply for NSGP funding later this year. “We were proud to welcome Congresswoman Gillen and are grateful for her support for the Jewish community and the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, which has directly benefitted our congregation,” Rabbi Steven Saks of Congregation Sons of Israel in Woodmere wrote in a news release. –Melissa Berman

things to know about the thanksgiving holiday Thanksgiving is a holiday rich with history, traditions, and cultural significance in the United States. Whether you’re gathering with family or taking time to reflect, it’s a time to appreciate the harvest, indulge in hearty meals, and celebrate togetherness. While the holiday is often centered around food and family, it has deep historical roots and a complex legacy. Here are three key things to know that will give you a more complete picture of this beloved holiday. — Brian Kacharaba
The complex origins: Pilgrims and Native Americans
From venison to turkey: The evolution of the feast
Modern significance: Gratitude, mourning, and reflection
The first Thanksgiving took place in 1621 at Plymouth Colony, where Pilgrims and Wampanoag Native Americans shared a feast. Though often depicted as a peaceful gathering, the reality was more complex. The relationship between settlers and Native tribes eventually turned into conflict and war, leading to the tragic loss of indigenous lands. The idea of Thanksgiving as a national holiday took centuries to establish, and it wasn’t until Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it in 1863 that it became an official part of American culture, aiming to unite the country during the Civil War.
Thanksgiving is synonymous with a hearty feast, but the foods served at the first Thanksgiving in 1621 were quite different from the dishes we associate with the holiday today. There were no mashed potatoes or pumpkin pies at that original gathering—rather, the menu included venison, corn, beans, wildfowl like ducks and geese, and seafood. Over the centuries, Thanksgiving meals evolved as different cultural influences shaped the American diet. Immigrants brought new recipes, and regional specialties, like cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes, were added. Today, turkey has become the iconic centerpiece, reflecting American culinary traditions and regional preferences that have developed over time.
Thanksgiving today serves as a time to gather with loved ones and express gratitude for the blessings of the year. It’s a moment to reflect on health, family, and prosperity, often marked by large meals and festive traditions. For many, it signals the beginning of the holiday season, with parades, football games, and holiday shopping to follow. However, the holiday also carries a complicated legacy for Native Americans. For many Indigenous peoples, Thanksgiving represents a day of mourning, as it marks the start of colonial expansion that led to displacement, loss of culture, and centuries of suffering. The day now encourages reflection on the history and impact of settler-colonialism.

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-

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.

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

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.

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. With over 40 million albums sold, chart-topping releases, sold-out arenas, and countless appearances on television • Where: The Paramount, 370 and magazine covers, Tremonti’s influence on rock music is undeniable. Now, witness a New York Ave., Huntington new side of his artistry as he pays heartfelt tribute to the legendary Frank Sinatra. This • Time: 8 p.m. is Tremonti like you’ve never heard him.

On Exhibit
Nassau County Museum of Art invites visitors into a world where reality is uncertain, dreams take shape, and the line between fact and imagination disappears. Works in “Real, Surreal, and Photoreal” challenge what we see and what we believe. Before abstraction took the spotlight in the mid-20th century, American art was defined by Realism as artists captured the world as they saw it. As abstraction rose, Realism never disappeared; it evolved. It has center stage in this exhibit, which explores how artists across generations have reimagined “the real” in strikingly different ways. Works from both American and European artists are featured. On view through March 8. • Where: 1 Museum Drive, Roslyn Harbor • Time: Ongoing • Contact: nassaumuseum.org or (516) 484-9337

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.

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
I
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-
I
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. Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick represents the 9th State Senate District.
In the fight of our lives, all over again
n November 2020, in the maw of the pandemic, I wrote a column about Thanksgiving dinner with my husband, dinner for just two. Our kids and grandkids and friends were isolating, in hiding from a novel viral enemy. Looking for a historical precedent, I compared the fear crisscrossing America to what it must have felt like in Berlin after World War II, when Stalin’s troops cut off the city. The plan was to choke the Berliners into capitulation to Russia. On the ground, it looked hopeless ranDI and inevitable. Then, in an audakrEIss cious countermove, the United States launched the Berlin airlift, and for 15 months planes dropped food, medicine and fuel — 2 million tons of supplies — until Stalin blinked in 1949 and lifted the blockade. We didn’t know it would succeed when we began. We did it because it was what was needed to save Berlin from Stalin’s tyranny. I was inspired by this bit of history because it speaks to America’s ability to
meet the moment. Ingenuity and courage are homegrown assets, and we never needed these strengths more than we did during the pandemic, more than we do now. In that Thanksgiving 2020 column, I wrote, “Our new enemy is Covid-19, which is rampaging through our cities and states, killing people in increasing numbers and threatening our well-being and our prosperity. We need to summon the courage to win this war . . . “We have missed the chance to get ahead of the firestorm, but we still have agency. Don’t gather at parties or bars or family events. It won’t be forever, and it might save someone you love . . . “This Thanksgiving we must accept the sacrifice of a simpler holiday, without expecting family to board planes or sit around a table for 15 or 20. We can do this. We can do it this year, in the hope that next year we can be thankful for lives saved.” One year later, the world had turned. I wrote, “All of us have had our Covid vaccines and boosters; we are brought back to normal by the moonshot of
F
modern medicine, the development of an effective vaccine in 18 months . . . “Today we are back to our jobs. Kids are back in school. This Thanksgiving we will sit down with our family to start reweaving the ties that have stretched thin over the months of this pandemic . . . “I have often written about gratitude for the small things that charge our days with interest and pleasure. This year my gratitude is singular, profound and unending. I am so thankful to the researchers and scientists and companies and governments and leaders who took on Covid-19 and dug in for the fight . . . “I thank everyone who brought us to this day, from the doctors and nurses to the supermarket workers to the teachers and parents of young children, to the bench researchers who put in the hours, day after day and month after month . . . “This year at our Thanksgiving there will be a too-big turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce. Leaves and grains for the vegetarian. We will hug and kiss our kids and grandkids, feeling safe enough with our jabs and boosters. Then we will
our years ago next week, it seemed vaccines had saved the day. But no.
feast on my apple cranberry crumble with a topping of gratitude for this country and countries everywhere where scientists are educated, supported and honored because the work they do alleviates suffering and perpetuates life on earth.” This week, as we approach Thanksgiving 2025, it is, quite unbelievably, our very democracy that is under threat. We are in a season of political instability, irrational attacks on our institutions, and a drift toward authoritarianism. As we witness the trampling of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, the military occupation of our cities and the willingness to sacrifice American laws and values for personal gain and power, we know that this threat, too, has gone viral. And, irony of ironies, our government leaders are questioning the efficacy of the original lifesaving Covid-19 vaccine and all the life-saving vaccines that have kept us and our children alive. When we sit down to Thanksgiving dinner this year, my prayer will be for America to find its footing, to support leaders who will launch a political moonshot or Berlin Airlift to save our souls and our country.

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.

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.”
