Rockaway JOURNAL

City academy named for Steven McDonald

By ALYSSA R. GRIFFIN agriffin@liherald.com

The New York City Police Department renamed its academy the Detective Steven D. McDonald Police Academy at a ceremony on July 16, honoring the late detective who spent his final years in Malverne and whose message of forgiveness became known around the world.

McDonald, who grew up on Long Island in Rockville Centre before later settling in Malverne, remained an active member of the NYPD for more than three decades after a shooting in Central Park left him paralyzed from the neck down.

Tisch also announced a permanent exhibit in the academy that will preserve items from McDonald's career, including his wheelchair and ventilator, replicas of his officer’s and detective’s shields, photos documenting his service, and the powder-blue uniform shirt he wore in the early years of his career. The exhibit is intended to ensure that future generations of officers understand both McDonald’s sacrifice and his continued commitment to policing.

Steven McDonald's son and NYPD Captain

Although he relied on a ventilator to breathe, he continued mentoring recruits, supporting wounded officers and speaking about forgiveness, peace and nonviolence until his death in 2017, at age 59.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, members of the McDonald family, other elected officials and hundreds of NYPD recruits gathered for the dedication ceremony at the academy, in College Point, Queens, which first opened in 2014.

Speakers described McDonald as the embodiment of the ideals the department hopes officers will carry throughout their careers.

“Steven McDonald gave the city more than most people could give in a lifetime,” Tisch said, “and after giving nearly everything in the line of duty, he spent more than three decades finding new ways to serve.”

Tisch announced the renaming in her State of the NYPD address in February, describing McDonald as "the embodiment of who we want our officers to be."

Last week’s ceremony marked 42 years since McDonald entered the Police Academy as a recruit in 1984 and came just days after the 40th anniversary of the July 12, 1986, shooting that forever changed his life.

Born in Queens Village in 1957, McDonald moved with his family to Rockville Centre as a child. One of eight children, he was a third-generation NYPD officer whose grandfather died in the line of duty. He served for four years as a U.S. Navy hospital corpsman before joining the Police Department in 1984. He and his wife, Patti Ann, married in 1985, and less than a year later, while investigating a bicycle theft in Central Park, he was shot three times by a 15-year-old.

Instead of retreating from public life, McDonald dedicated the next three decades to sharing a message of reconciliation. He publicly forgave the teenager who shot him and spoke in schools, churches,

community organizations and conflict zones around the world, encouraging forgiveness and nonviolent solutions to conflict.

Mamdani described McDonald as an officer whose response to unimaginable tragedy reshaped how New Yorkers view policing. “He was a man of deep faith, and he had the wisdom to know that living consumed by rage would all but guarantee the death he had just narrowly escaped,” Mamdani said. “I can think of no better name to adorn our police academy than his.”

McDonald's son, NYPD Capt. Conor McDonald, reflected on his father's lifelong dedication to the department, and said his greatest mission became honoring officers who never made it home from their tours of duty.

“My father was my hero,” Conor told the Herald. “Growing up watching him travel New York City, the world, preaching about nonviolence, forgiveness, and that love transcends all, he was an incredible human being, and he's the definition of what police officers around the world should be.”

Patti Ann McDonald, a former mayor of Malverne, said the honor reflects her husband's lifelong commitment to caring for others.

“It's not just about Steven, it's about all the men and

women who gave their lives to the city of New York,” she told the Herald. “To me it's an example of what Stephen meant to all the people that were here today, and it warms my heart that they were here.”

Following his death in January 2017, numerous tributes were established in McDonald’s honor, including the naming of a portion of the Southern State Parkway the Detective Steven McDonald Memorial Highway, and the Steven McDonald Garden of Forgiveness in Malverne's Westwood Park.

Going up again at the public library

By MELISSA BERMAN mberman@liherald.com

After nearly nine months without elevator service, the Peninsula Public Library is once again fully accessible, celebrating the completion of a state-of-the-art elevator that library officials say will better serve patrons of all ages and abilities for decades to come.

Library trustees, staff and Lawrence Mayor Samuel Nahmias gathered on July 16 for a ribbon-cutting ceremony marking the completion of the $184,000 modernization project.

The elevator had returned to service on July 10 after receiving final approvals.

For the library, which circulates more than 2,000 books each week and hosts dozens of programs for children, teens and adults, restoring elevator access represented far more than a building improvement.

“This is an important milestone in the library’s ongoing commitment to accessibility and service for the community,” board

of trustees President Akiva Lubin said. “Everybody can be proud of it.”

The library’s previous elevator, which had operated for decades, was taken out of service last October, when it had deteriorated to the point where it was no longer reliable. Replacement parts had become increasingly difficult to obtain, which made it clear to trustees that continued repairs no longer made sense, and a comprehensive modernization was the only option.

“We redid the entire electrical system,” Lubin said. “It was much more extensive than just the elevator. Everything was so antiquated. We had all the codes changed, and we had to upgrade a lot of things in order to get the elevator up to current standards.”

The project includes entirely new mechanical and electrical components.

“Everything that’s in the machine room was replaced,” explained Joseph Lichtman, president of Sentry Elevator Corp., based in Brooklyn,

which did the work.

“Motors and controllers, computers that run this elevator — all of that, the electrical supply, everything in that room. The interior of the elevator was redone, the button panels, the door operators, all the electrical wiring up and down the shaftway. So it’s pretty much, to a large extent, a new elevator.”

The new system also

incorporates technology unavailable for the previous elevator, including telephone and internet connectivity, automated voice announcements identifying each floor, and enhanced safety features. The elevator was designed to meet, and exceed, Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

Walking into the elevator, Lubin said, patrons immediately notice the improvements. “It announces the floor on a recording,” he said. “It’s top of the line, state of the art.”

Library officials said that according to initial estimates, replacing the elevator could cost nearly $500,000. After a competitive bidding process produced proposals that were higher than expected, the board, following legal guidance, ultimately selected Sentry, which completed the work for hundreds of thousands of dollars below early projections.

“We got it done ahead of schedule and hundreds of thousands of dollars below budget,” Lubin said.

“The board worked very hard, and we’re very happy with it.”

Lichtman credited the collaboration among his company, the library board and suppliers for helping accelerate the project.

“The board really pleaded that anything that could be done on the timing schedule would be appreciated, because it really was an issue for the general public and providing handicapped access,” he said. “I contacted the vendors, and they all understood the sit-

uation. Everybody was on the same page.”

Although installation was mostly completed in early June and the elevator passed inspection on June 11, final activation required completion of telecommunications systems, internet connectivity and additional paperwork before the library received authorization to begin operations this month.

For the staff, the return of elevator service immediately improved daily operations. Pat Murphy, the librarian in charge, said that accessibility has always been especially meaningful to her.

“I did handicapped permits, and I also happen to have a disabled daughter,” Murphy said. “So I know how critical an elevator is. I was very glad to see when it was finally operating here in this library.”

Patrons quickly embraced the restored service, she added. “Everybody who comes in really appreciates that the elevator’s working,” Murphy said. “We have a senior population. We have a lot of young babies and children, mothers with strollers. It’s critical to our operation.”

The elevator connects all levels of the library, making it easier for visitors to attend children’s story times, educational workshops, community meetings and other events, regardless of mobility challenges.

“This is a great library,” Murphy said. “We have a very wide range of patrons — adults, children, toddlers.

Statue procession commemorates Santa Marina

For more than a century, generations of Italian American families in Inwood have gathered each summer to honor their patron saint, celebrate their heritage and reconnect with loved ones during the annual Santa Marina Feast.

This year’s celebration was on July 10 and 11 at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church in Inwood, featuring two evenings of food, music, rides, raffles and community festivities.

At its heart, however, organizers said the feast remains a deeply religious tradition centered on faith, family and honoring Santa Marina, the patron saint of Filandari, Calabria, Italy — the hometown of many of the area’s earliest Italian immigrants.

The festivities began with a novena service on July 9 at 8 p.m. The feast opened on July 10 at 7 p.m. and continued July 11 with a 10 a.m. Mass and procession through the streets of Inwood, followed by an evening feast beginning at 7 p.m.

For Giovanni Curra, the Santa Marina Society’s treasurer and secretary, the weekend represents a continuation of a tradition passed down through generations.

“My favorite part, truly, is the religious end of it — the Mass and the procession on Saturday,” he said. “The feast part is fun, but the main purpose is to celebrate Santa Marina. We still carry the statue of the saint through the streets of Inwood, and everyone walks together with a marching band. That’s my favorite part of the whole thing.”

The procession annually attracts hundreds of worshippers, many of whom return to Inwood from across Long Island and beyond.

Do we have to submit complete house plans just for a garage?

Q. We were recently told that our permit plans, to be approved, were going to have to include plans of the entire house, not just the garage area we are bumping out on the side. We were wondering if you have heard of this or whether we are being singled out. Our architect said that it may be because we have to go to the zoning board. Is this the reason, or did we say something wrong and are being punished? We asked, several times, for an update, because things are moving very slowly and we get the impression the building department just wants us to go away. They work for us and I think we deserve better service, frankly.

A. Trust but verify is now a common expression, and with good reason. What I have noticed over the years is that complete information is more often required, showing unrelated areas of the home, because many people have not been truthful about building changes or about how much work they have done, without permits, in other parts of the home. Because of this issue, many plans examiners ask for the big picture, not just the area you are interested in. It is obvious, when looking at file records in building departments and then comparing them to the actual dwelling during a walkthrough.

Your dilemma is due to the lack of trust between the authorities and the public. If the building inspector notices that the plans and the home don’t exactly compare, they can ask for “revised” plans to be submitted. It is frustrating, right at the end of a project, when people are ready to move on with their lives, to find out that the “simple, little changes” and side work they did require revised plans to be submitted to their building department. It is much worse to learn about changes or not following plans many years later.

Contractors and owners may get away with not communicating in the short term, but it does not pay, in the long run, to hide information. When someone realizes they bought a house with inherited, hidden issues which they are now responsible for, they feel taken advantage of. Worse than that are the costly corrections that have to be made because something that has existed for years may not be code-compliant. It happens all too often that unrelated portions of the building become a stumbling block to getting approvals for what you are really looking to do.

You are probably not being singled out, but you have been put in this position by previous workers and owners who did not take the record-updating seriously. People have told me, with a grin, that “By the time anyone notices, we’ll all be long gone.” I just came from a jobsite where work was done 16 years prior, the plans were not followed, and a structural failure is occurring that is going to be expensive to fix. The whole picture, not just part, is, therefore, important. Good luck!
