The Hempstead Police Department interpreted its Aug. 5 National Night Out as an opportunity to treat the Hempstead Village community like royalty.

About 800 attendees flocked to Denton Green, the central park in the heart of Hempstead Village, under a balmy evening sky. Surrounding the park entrance on James A. Garner Way were shining rows of police vehicles, including motorcycles and bicycles, and proud fire trucks.

At the park gate, young and old received free “Hempstead National Night Out 2025” t-shirts with the names of sponsors emblazoned on the back.

Suspension of club raises questions from community members, local athletes

By STACY DRIKS

The Hempstead Boxing Club — a hub for young athletes and aspiring boxers in the village — has been suspended for over a month, leaving families, coaches and boxers in limbo.

Held at Kennedy Memorial Park, the program offered more than just a place to train. It was a safe space where kids could stay active, build confidence and find mentorships. Its sudden suspension, on June 2, by park Superintendent Yolanda Hurcherson, has sparked frustration and confusion in the boxing community — and no one seems to know when, or if, the club will return.

Hurcherson was contacted for comment, however there was no response on her decision of the closure.

“The district attorney, Denis Dillon, started the program to keep the youth off the street — it’s a youth program,” Coach Laurence Covington, who has been with the program for about a decade, said, referring to the former Nassau County D.A., who died in 2010.

Just to one side of the gate, children clambered in and out of the Nassau Library System Techmobile, which gives classes at libraries and schools throughout Nassau County.

Inside the park gates, the park pathways were lined with tables for the Hempstead Public Library, the New Greater Hempstead Chamber of Commerce, the Hempstead NAACP, and social services

Rolando Ramoz, of Hempstead, said. “Some people, like myself, are just fans of the sport. I thought it was one of the more fruitful programs this town had to offer.”

Ramoz, a former track athlete at the University of Scranton and the winner of the Hempstead’s annual Tyree Curry 5K in 2024 turned to the club after a stress fracture in his leg ended his running career. The gym became a new outlet — mentally and physically — where he trained for more than a year. He credits the gym’s nononsense, military-style discipline — instilled by Covington, an Air Force veteran — for helping him prepare for the challenges of basic training and being a commissioning officer in the U.S. Marine Corps which Ramoz will join in the coming year.

N ot everybody that goes to the gym wants to fight in matches. Some people, like myself, are just fans of the sport. I thought it was one of the more fruitful programs this town had to offer.

RolANDo RAmoz Hempstead Boxing Club

Founded in 1998, the club has long served as a training ground for amateur fighters from across Long Island. It has hosted regional tournaments, mentored youth, and helped prepare some athletes for Olympic trials and professional careers.

“Kids need a third house … you have school, then home, but sometimes you need that third to really develop,” he said. “A lot of kids don’t have that. There is an absence of community, and we need something like (boxing) in a place like Hempstead.”

For 12-year-old Joshua Gittens, of Freeport, the boxing club became a second home. Home-schooled and soft-spoken, Joshua began boxing at age 5, and has trained with the club for seven years.

“Josh is there six days a week, so you might as well say he lives there,” Jackie Gitten’s, Joshua’s grandmother said. “Not a lot of parents stay in the gym, but

L.I. African American Chamber named finalist for Chamber of the Year

The Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. was recently recognized as one of the top finalists for the United States Black Chambers, Inc.’s prestigious Chamber of the Year award. LIAACC was among just seven chambers nationwide considered for the honor during USBC’s annual conference, held July 30 to Aug. 1 in Washington, D.C.

“Being selected as a finalist is a significant marker for our chamber as we commemorate 15 years of service,” said Phil Andrews, LIAACC president and founding president of the African American Small Business Foundation, Inc. “It underscores the impact we’ve had on our communities.”

Founded in 2009, USBC now represents 176 chambers, including international affiliates. The annual conference brings together community leaders and entrepreneurs for networking, training, and best practice sharing.

“It’s an honor to be chosen as a finalist,” said Anthony Quiñones, CEO of The Fracct Agency. “It’s a testament to the great leadership of Phil Andrews and Rose Ward. They work tirelessly to inspire our membership and community. When we level the playing field, we all win.”

The chamber has hosted events in venues ranging from Hofstra University to the Nassau County Museum of Art, and spearheaded initiatives such as a Black History Art Exhibition at Bloomingdale’s and community toy drives in Long Beach.

The chamber’s leadership and members have been recognized with numerous awards, including Long Island Business News’ Diversity Awards and Nassau County’s Small Business Person of the Year.

Food, fun, and games at Hempstead National Night Out

provided by the Family and Children’s Association.

A crowded tent deep in the park emitted fragrances of grilled hot dogs, hamburgers, and sweet corn.

The list of activities was dizzying: two bouncy houses for laughing children; a full program of kid games in front of the village’s state-of-the-art mobile stage; carnival games at a booth manned by Detective Mark Williams of Hempstead Village’s Juvenile Aid Bureau; a miniature train, Shetland pony rides, and a petting zoo.

Two vendor tents selling colorful jewelry and souvenirs called to the crowd with bright colors. A perpetually long

Join the Hempstead Village Police Explorers!

Law Enforcement Exploring, commonly referred to as Police Explorers or Police Scouts, offers vocational education programs that allow teens through young adults an opportunity to explore a career in law enforcement by working with local law enforcement agencies. The program is geared toward ages 14-20.

Seven people signed up during National Night Out. Registration is still open for the session that starts in October. Drop by the Hempstead Police Station at 99 James A. Garner Way for more information and register.

You may also call (516) 483-6200 for more information.

Secretary Regina Lattimore’s familiar voice calling out the various events. Highlights of the evening were the tug-of-rope between Hempstead Police and the Hempstead Fire Department (the Fire Department won); and the loud splashes when a fast ball struck a big white button, dunking an amiable police officer into a tank of cold water.

“Of all the events we sponsor, like the Halloween party and the Christmas Caravan, this is still one of my favorites,” said Hempstead Police Chief Richard Holland. “From seniors to little kids, people come out to have a good time. It is really about our department being out where the community can see us in a positive, friendly way.”

Future of local boxing program remains unclear

I’m one of them, and what I don’t see is support from one of the coaches.”

The program currently has two coaches, Covington and George Wyche, an independent contractor who joined in April 2024. According to Covington, Wyche allegedly does not show up for work, and when he does, as he fills a time sheet on the days he was not working.

“The fact of the matter is, he’s never been a full-time guy — he always comes sporadically,” Covington said. “Since Jan. 1, I was keeping track of the calendar, and he has never come in more than five days in a month.”

“We (parents) know that there’s one coach that’s there and one that is not there,” Gittens said. “We know that there’s one coach who actually is helping the kids and doing what a coach should do, and there’s one that isn’t.”

Joshua Gittens, 12, of Freeport, started boxing at age 5, and has trophies from a match in 2024. The one on the left is for winning the fight, and the other, for ‘Fight of the Night,’ is presented to boxers who made the biggest impression.

Video footage provided by Covington in June shows Wyche in the Kennedy Park Gym, using profane language while briefly looking into a security camera, where he is seen covering the camera with boxing equipment when no boxers were present.

While the village hasn’t offered an explanation for the shutdown, Village Attorney Keisha Marshall said that the two coaches need to move on.

In a statement to the Herald, Marshall said that Covington met with Hempstead Mayor Waylyn Hobbs Jr. on July 7 to discuss the program, but she characterized the conflict between the two coaches as personal. “Unfortunately, it may have an ongoing impact on the program itself,” Marshall said.

“I actually emailed the town, because (Covington) let me know that the gym closed,” Ramoz said. “I felt if they’re going to close the gym, they at least give the members of the community an explanation. We got nothing, and I still never got a response to my email.”

Town of Hempstead candidates spar over 2008 Facebook post

By CHARLES SHAW cshaw@liherald.com

Outside the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter in Wantagh on Aug. 11, Interim Supervisor John Ferretti raised concerns over a 17-year-old Facebook post attributed to his Democratic opponent, Joseph Scianablo.

According to Ferretti, on Dec. 27, 2008, Scianablo posted, “i just shat myself while watching animal porn.” Ferretti said the comment was offensive and inappropriate, especially from someone seeking to lead a town that runs one of the largest animal shelters on Long Island.

“As somebody who has fought for animal rights as a county legislator for the last eight years introducing legislation to protect animals, it’s deeply disturbing that somebody who would want to run one of the largest animal shelters on Long Island would celebrate animal abuse,” Ferretti said.

Scianablo, standing across the street with supporters and animal rights advocates, said the post was made by his brother and called the controversy a distraction.

“We’re really sick and tired of career politicians spreading lies, disinformation, they’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel right here,” Scianablo said.

In an emailed statement from Scianablo’s team, his brother, Jason, said he wrote the Facebook post as a juvenile joke after Joseph had returned from serving in combat as a U.S. Marine in Iraq.

Scianablo said there is no issue with the 17-year-old post, which he claims was posted by his brother, calling the issue a ‘political stunt.’

“In 2008, I made a stupid, juvenile post on my brother’s Facebook as a joke,” Scianablo’s brother said in an emailed statement. “My brother had returned from serving in combat as a US Marine in Iraq. For months, our family lived with the fear that we might lose him. When he came home, the relief was overwhelming, and I slipped back into being the kid brother who teased him instead of the man who should have been thanking him.”

Jason added that his brother went on to serve four years as an NYPD officer and was seriously injured in the line of

Town of Hempstead Interim Supervisor John Ferretti joined elected officials and outside the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter in Wantagh on Aug. 11 to highlight an inappropriate Facebook post from Joseph Scianablo, the democratic opponent for November’s Town Supervisor race.

duty while protecting victims of domestic violence. Jason said Joseph has risked his life many times for fellow Marines, New Yorkers, and strangers in danger, and that he has earned his roles through service and sacrifice.

A follow-up post made the same day in 2008 stated, “Just took my computer back from my brother Jason.” During the event, Ferretti questioned why the post remained online for 17 years.

Ferretti, of Levittown, was sworn in as interim supervisor after Don Clavin resigned on Aug. 5. He previously represented Levittown, Bethpage, North Mass-

apequa and parts of Farmingdale as a Nassau County Legislator.

Scianablo, of Garden City, is a Marine veteran and former New York City police officer. The Nassau County Democratic Party says he brings leadership, integrity and compassion to the race.

Ferretti is calling for an apology. “It is sick. It is depraved. And Joe Scianablo needs to come clean with the residents of the town of Hempstead,” he said.

Scianablo disagrees. “He’s making this an issue wasting taxpayer time and money,” he said. “There’s nothing there, it clearly dictates that.”
