Hempstead’s 9/11 ceremony: Each year, a little different

Special to the Herald

Each year, with a dignified ceremony on Denton Green, Hempstead Village commemorates the four villagers who died when the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers fell on Sept. 11, 2001.

The focus of this year’s remembrance was “Stronger Together.”

“Our hearts remain connected to those memories,” said program emcee Angela Stanley, Hempstead’s director of Human Relations/Community Events, “and together we affirm that we will never forget.”

UBrooklyn Bridge,” said Rev. Katherine Corbett, who delivered the invocation. “I watched people come walking over the bridge. I watched the impact of the trauma on the community.”

nity is what counts, and we’re only as good as the support we give to the people around us.

G ARY RUsH Interim Superintendent, Hempstead Public Schools

Two poignant music selections, performed by violinist Adrienne “Sh’Lo” Green, evoked both the sadness and the somber beauty of the occasion.

Several speakers offered reflections about the trauma of 9/11 that still affects many people today.

“On 9/11, I was a sitting principal in Brooklyn, right on the other side of the

“On September 11, 2001, I was eight years old,” said County Legislator Olena Nicks, a volunteer with the Uniondale Fire Department. “I stand here as a first responder, still mourning the lives that we lost.” She noted that deaths from 9/11-related illnesses continue to rise.

Former mayor, teacher, and community servant Don Ryan remembered a letter received by Engine 4, the Hempstead fire company where Durrell

“Bronko” Pearsall volunteered before he died with other first responders in the Twin Towers.

As he arrived at the towers, Pearsall saw a woman standing on the devastated street, ash-covered, frozen with fear.

“He shook her and said, ‘Listen to me. Listen to me. I want you to turn and

LIRR strike on hold…for now Unions seek federal mediation with MTA

A potential Long Island Rail Road strike that was looming on Sept. 18 has been paused for now after the five unions threatening to halt service announced they are requesting intervention from the Presidential Emergency Board.

The move means negotiations will continue under federal mediation, postponing any immediate threat of a strike.

The development comes amid mounting tension between the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the five remaining unions that have yet to reach a contract agreement with the railroad. These unions represent more than half of the LIRR’s workforce, and their decision earlier this month to pursue a strike authorization alarmed the MTA and the commuters who depend on the system every day.

Asaid negotiations had broken down after the National Mediation Board expedited the release of the unions. That opened the door to a strike that could have begun at 12:01 a.m. on Sept. 18.

The last LIRR strike occurred in 1994.

“We have attempted to negotiate in good faith with these five remaining labor organizations,” Free said. “A fair offer has been made and accepted by the majority of all the other represented employees at the Long Island Rail Road, including the largest union, SMART, and four others.”

fter months of radio silence, these outlier unions have finally admitted that they weren’t serious about negotiating.

JoHN J. MCCARTHY MTA chief of policy and external relations

More than 270,000 daily riders would be affected by a walkout. While the latest action delays that possibility, the disputes over wages and work rules remain unresolved, leaving the long-term outlook uncertain.

The MTA quickly responded to the unions’ decision.

“After months of radio silence, these outlier unions have finally admitted that they weren’t serious about negotiating,” said John J. McCarthy, the MTA chief of policy and external relations, in a statement. “They never had a plan to resolve this at the bargaining table.

“If these unions wanted to put riders first, they would either settle or agree to binding arbitration,” he continued. “And if they don’t want to strike, they should say so -- and finally show up to the negotiating table. This cynical delay serves no one.”

During a Sept. 11 news conference at Penn Station, MTA President Rob Free

The five unions still holding out include the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and the Transportation Communications Union. Collectively, they form the Long Island Rail Road Bargaining Coalition, representing 55 percent of the unionized workforce at the LIRR.

According to the MTA, its current proposal calls for a 9.5 percent wage increase over three years. But the unions are pushing for an additional 6.5 percent raise on top of the existing deal, without giving ground on work rules that management says are ‘outdated.’

“Locomotive engineers make over $49 an hour currently. The average salary is over $160,000 a year, with top earners above $300,000,” Free said. “That’s largely the result of antiquated work rules that allow multiple days’ pay for one day of work. And now they want a bigger raise while keeping those rules in place.”

The BRS’s 809 members voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike as talks stalled. About 600 BLET workers also approved a work stoppage.

in front of the monument placed by former Mayor James a. garner’s administration on Sept. 11, 2002, local officials solemnly lit candles to commemorate the four people from Hempstead who died in the fall of the twin towers, at Hempstead’s 9/11 remembrance ceremony on denton green.

Hempstead students remember Sept.11

The students at Alverta B Grey Schultz Middle School chose to remember the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack by taking 11 laps around the track in memory of the 110 flights of stairs that firefighters climbed to save lives. Around 600 students, along with teachers and staff took part in the event, which was the brainchild of Community Schools Director Tiara Adams.

“We wanted the students to have a way of participating, but we don’t have that many stairs in the school, so we chose this way of participating,” Adams explained. Also joining the walk were Interim Supt. Gary Rush and Assistant Supt. For Curriculum Richard Brown.

The students learned about the 343 firefighters who lost their lives that day

The walk was led by members of the school band, and red, white and blue ribbons were handed out and tied to the fence. The students also received a surprise visit from Village of Hempstead police officers, as well as some horn honking by passersby.

The students also learned about Hempstead Schools Board of Trustees President Jeffrey Spencer, who is a volunteer firefighter who was among those working

to rescue and recover bodies at the World Trade Center site.

“I was honored to hear that my efforts were remembered by the students,” says Spencer, who is checked regularly for any signs of cancer or lung issues. “Being at the World Trade Center is a memory that will stay with me always. When you’re needed, you don’t think about it, you just go. It is important that these students, who weren’t even born when the attacks happened, are honoring those who gave their lives.”

run in that direction, as far as you can and as fast as you can. Don’t look back,’” Ryan explained. “And she did that. And a couple of years later in the Village of Hempstead at Engine 4, a letter from that woman was received by the chiefs, thanking this man for having saved her life.”

As news of political divisions in the United States skyrocketed subsequent to the Sept. 10 assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk, other dignitaries at the ceremony stressed the need to be a united nation.

“The terrorist attacks on our country left a scar that will always serve as a reminder of how fragile our freedoms are,” said Joseph V. Ramirez, who was attending on behalf of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office.

Village Trustee Tanya Carter was an international airline administrative assistant when the airplanes struck the Twin Towers.

“We began to hold hands and to pray,” Carter said. “We were holding hands with those that believed in Allah, with those that believed in God, those that believed in anything else. We all cried out together because, that day, we were all one.”

“We were all united in that moment — for a period of time,” said County Legislator Scott Davis. “We should all remember 9/11 by looking inward and

seeing what we can do as individuals to get back to that unity.”

Interim Superintendent of Schools Gary Rush, who was a young physical education teacher at A.G.B. Schultz

Middle School on 9/11, recalled the confusion as news of the catastrophe interrupted the school day — and the moment when an older teacher stopped, stood, and prayed, providing an example to follow.

“At the end of the day, unity is what counts,” said Rush, “and we’re only as good as the support we give to the people around us.”

negotiated in good faith and has not been serious from the onset of bargaining,” said BRS Vice President of Commuters and Passengers Tim Tarrant in a Sept. 11 statement. “[The] LIRR’s on-time performance has never been better and it’s time for them to recognize their hardworking men and women by offering a fair contract that keeps up with the cost of living in New York.”

BRS General Chairman Mike Sullivan echoed the frustration.

“Our members will not stand for a contract that results in a loss of real wages, and we are prepared to use all means available to achieve a fair contract,” he said in the same statement.

That law allows for strikes under certain conditions, though it also provides a process for federal mediation—such as the Presidential Emergency Board request now underway.

The MTA has repeatedly stressed its desire to resolve the dispute without disruption and was preparing contingency plans in case of a walkout. The plan would have included limited shuttle bus

known as Section 34, Block 360, Lot(s) 858 on the Land and Tax Map of the County of Nassau and Incorporated Village of Hempstead.

“We couldn’t possibly replace the full service that LIRR runs every day, but we are trying our best to accommodate those essential workers in an effort to not leave anyone stranded,” said Shanifah Rieara, MTA senior adviser for communications and policy.

The MTA also announced that monthly ticket holders would be eligible for prorated refunds on strike days, subject to board approval.

The strike would have also affected the upcoming Ryder Cup, scheduled for Sept. 23–28 at Bethpage Black.

“Does the union really want to disrupt that and have that on their heads—that they caused Long Island to miss out on this huge economic boom?” Free asked.

With the gap between the MTA’s offer and the unions’ demands unresolved, the dispute is far from settled. The intervention may provide some breathing room, but the risk of a future work stoppage remains unless both sides can settle their differences.
