By MOHAMED FARGHALY mfarghaly@liherald.com

As part of a Dec. 21 news conference, David Nemiroff, president and CEO of what is now Harmony Healthcare Long Island, spoke about the threeyear strategic rebranding initiative for the Nassau Countybased non-profit. Joining Nemiroff were representatives from

the organization and Hempstead Town Deputy Supervisor Dorothy Goosby.

“We are committed to improving the overall wellness of all individuals in our communities and delivering high quality comprehensive patient centered care, regardless of one’s ability to pay,” Nemiroff said. “Our new name and logo symbolize our dedication to those we serve, supported by our spirited concept of working together as one, in perfect harmony.”

In setback for village, governor vetoes Cleveland Park plan

Hochul vetoed a bill sponsored by now-former state Sen. John Brooks and Assemblywoman Taylor Darling that would have authorized the village to sell its Cleveland Avenue greenspace to developers keen on building a distribution warehouse. Such a bill, if it had become

law, could have been a fatal blow to the Freeport school district, which wants to keep the space as an athletic practice field and recreation area.

The bill from Brooks and Darling would have removed a park easement designation school officials had claimed protected their control of the fields. Without that easement — which village leaders have disputed for decades — would have allowed the village to sell the Cleveland Avenue site to the Californiabased Panattoni Group.

In her veto, Hochul cited not only the ongoing legal issues between the two government entities, but also what she

described as the lack of a plan to provide guaranteed access to alternative athletic facilities that would be needed to replace Cleveland Avenue.

“These legal issues related to the property demonstrate that this issue is not resolved at the local level and should not proceed at this time,” Hochul said.

Some Freeport neighbors taking the side of the school district collaborated with local unions in an attempt to preserve the North Freeport park.

“For the last 70 years, generations of students and residents have used Cleveland Avenue Field because of its convenient and easily accessible location,”

Freeport school board president Maria Jordan-Awalom said. “In our view, the village has sought to force the district and the community it represents into accepting the loss of Cleveland Avenue Field.”

Village trustees voted to sell the 9-acre park to the Panattoni Group last July for $49 million. But such a move required

state approval, prompting the legislature to act in an effort to remove the disputed parkland easement of the site.

Kiddie Club’s Holiday Extravaganza

The atmosphere at the Freeport Recreation Center was filled with excitement and joy as the children from the Freeport Kiddie Club took the stage. Dressed in their holiday best, the kids sang a variety of festive songs that had everyone in the audience tapping their toes and singing along.

Before the performance, the kids had spent the day participating in holiday arts and crafts activities, getting into the spirit of the season. They were full of energy and enthusiasm as they sang and danced on stage to holiday music, bringing smiles to the faces of their proud parents and caregivers.

After the performance, the kids had the opportunity to have their picture taken with Santa, adding to the magic of the day. It was clear that all those present were feeling the genuine spirit of Christmas and the holiday season.

Overall, the special performance at the Freeport Recreation Center was a memorable and heartwarming event that brought the joy of the season to all those in attendance.

Freeport Public Schools brim with spirit

Showcasing the student’s artistic expressions through the month

The sights and sounds of the festive holiday season filled the school buildings of Freeport Public Schools, due to the exceptional body of artists and musicians who proudly exhibited their artistic abilities and performed during the district’s Winter Festival of the Arts.

“It’s a beautiful time of year, and the winter concerts bring the holiday season to life,” Superintendent of Schools, Kishore Kuncham said. “It’s a great opportunity to showcase the talent of our Freeport students who have worked hard over the last few months to bring holiday spirit and joy through music. These concerts are a great way to really embrace the holiday season.”

Throughout the month of December, each school’s numerous performing groups put on a winter concert to celebrate their hard work and effort in

the arts and to bring holiday cheer to the board of education members, administrators, teachers, families, and community residents in attendance.

Additionally, the art instructors of the Freeport Public Schools showcased the ingenuity of its student body of artists with a thorough and aesthetically appealing slideshow displaying holiday-themed work including such ceramics, photography, printmaking, sculptures, and more.

“The Winter Fest along with the Spring Fest are ongoing traditions in the Freeport school district,” Kishore said. “The festival has evolved from being centered around music to becoming a celebration of the arts. It’s a time for our students to shine and for the community to come together and enjoy the fruits of their hard work.”

THE ATKINSON SIXTH grade chorus performed the cheerful song “All I want for Christmas is You”

DURING THE ANNUAL Winter Festival of the Arts, the fourth grade choir and students presented the musical production “The Lights of Jingle Bell Hill.”

DURING THE BAYVIEW Winter Festival of the Arts, fourth graders from Bayview Avenue performed “We Know Snow” from the musical “The Lights of Jingle Bell Hill.”

A thorough commitment to the community

health center providing comprehensive primary and preventive care services to underserved areas or populations.

“We want to make sure anybody can access health care regardless of their ability to pay, even people who are uninsured,” Nemiroff said. “Our real push was to make it easier for people who were uninsured to have access and to learn about us.”

Their community services include adult and family medicine, pediatric care, dental services, women’s health services, specialist services, and a special supplemental nutrition program for mothers, infants, and children.

Harmony Healthcare Long Island received the distinction of becoming the first Federally Qualified Health Center in Nassau County back in 2009. HHLI has facilities in Elmont, Freeport, Hempstead, Oceanside, Roosevelt, and Westbury

“Our goal is to just be a good community partner and support the folks who live and work in our communities,” Nemiroff said.

Providers, including Harmony Healthcare Long Island, are stepping up to relieve the pressure on overburdened local hospitals.

Harmony Healthcare Long Island strengthened its adult and family primary and preventative medical care servic-

es, as well as its mental health services and departments on Long Island.

Along with receiving a five-year funding to address maternal and newborn mortality, the organization has expanded its reach through telehealth and mobile health services allowing virtual consultations with health care professionals, receive diagnoses and treatments without having to travel to a health care facility.

“Right now, with the public health emergency still ongoing, this allows us some flexibility in reaching our patients,” Nemiroff said. “For folks who can’t get in to see their provider, we have the capacity to do a telehealth visit to their phone or their computer or their iPad. We do about 12 percent of our visits that way now.”

Telehealth is used for a wide range of health care services and particularly useful for people who live in rural or remote areas, or for those who have mobility issues.

Recently, the organization has seen an increase in patient care visits, with over 160,000 patient care visits in 2022. According to the organization, the majority of patients served by Harmony Healthcare Long Island live below the poverty level, speak a language other than English and

half of their patients are covered under Medicaid or Medicaid Managed Care.

The long term goal of Harmony Healthcare Long Island includes advancing additional specialty services such as diabetes education, women’s health, pediatric care, and school-based health center initiatives.

Harmony Healthcare is set to unveil its new and improved health care center in Hempstead, which will provide services to over 12,000 patients. The facility has undergone a complete renovation, allowing for an expansion of services.

The objective of the redevelopment center is to make it easier for residents to access top-quality health care locally. Additionally, the company’s dental suite in Elmont has also undergone renovations and will now offer an even wider range of dental services.

“This announcement is a milestone moment for our organization,” Frank Piscetelli, board chair of Harmony Healthcare Long Island said. “We are the definition of a community health care resource, and we needed to pursue a new name that was reflective of who we are as an entity. Our team works together in a harmonious environment to provide the very best care for all — one patient at a time.”

goal is to just be a good community partner and support the folks who live and work in our communities.

Community comes together for toy drive

The United States Marine Corps, Ringside Collectibles of Freeport, and the friends and family who helped collect donations and toys throughout the course of the year are all thanked by the Village of Freeport and the Freeport Police Department.

Local residents have been dropping toys off at various locations and businesses throughout Freeport over the pasr year.

The Police Benevolent Association has collected toys to give to local Freeport families in need over the holiday season.

Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve that distributes new, unwrapped toys to children in need during the holiday season. The purpose of Toys for Tots is to bring joy and a sense of hope to children who may not otherwise receive a gift during the holidays, and to help less fortunate children experience the magic of the holiday season. The program was founded in 1947 and has since distributed millions of toys to children in need.

“Elder

Estate planning was formerly only for the wealthy who wanted to shelter their assets from taxes and pass more on to their heirs. But today estate planning is also needed by the middle class who may have assets exceeding one million dollars, especially when you consider life insurance in the mix.

Estate planning with trusts became popular starting in 1991 when AARP concluded that probate should be avoided and trusts should be used to transfer assets to heirs without a court proceeding. Trusts are also widely used today to avoid guardianship proceedings on disability, protect privacy, and reduce the chance of a will contest in court.

As the population aged and life expectancies increased, the field of elder law emerged in the late 1980’s to help people protect assets from nursing home costs by using Medicaid asset protection strategies.

The two fields of elder law and estate planning still tend to be separate, which can

work against a client needs. For instance, a client may see an elder law attorney for Medicaid asset protection planning in the event of disability, but overlook the benefits of estate planning, such as avoiding estate taxes or keeping assets in the bloodline. Similarly, a client may have prepared an effective estate plan for death with an estate planning attorney, but failed to avail themselves of Medicaid asset protection strategies for their lifetimes.

For this reason, we have been practicing “elder law estate planning” together for over thirty years to address these needs:

• Getting your assets to your heirs, with the least amount of court costs, taxes and legal fees possible.

• Keeping your assets in the bloodline for your grandchildren and protecting those assets from your children’s divorces, lawsuits and creditors.

• Protecting your assets from the costs of longterm care and qualifying you for government benefits to pay for your care either at home or in a nursing facility.

• Avoiding guardianship proceedings if you become disabled and probate court proceedings on death.

Third-year head coach Matt Cellan has put together a challenging early season schedule with some tournaments against some of the top teams on Long Island and December dual matches against Syosset and East Meadow. Cellan hopes the rigorous matches build confidence that can pay dividends when the county tournament takes center stage in February.

“None of them have really had that breakthrough win, but they are all capable of it and I expect that to happen over the next few weeks, because we have a few tough tournaments coming up,” said third year Freeport wrestling head coach Matt Cellan. “It’s tough because a lot of guys aren’t at the correct weight yet and it takes time for things to shake out so we’re waiting to see a couple more guys get that signature win and make a name for themselves.”

Sophomore Jahari Lloyd is one of the returning wrestlers Cellan sees potential in to place in the counties at 110 pounds in February after winning a number of matches last year at 102. Senior Amir Lev (160), who qualified for counties last year in his first season of wrestling, also has a strong chance to reach the podium along with fellow senior Kesson Sorsor (152).

Cellan has three wrestlers in the 189 pound weight class capable of making headway in the counties in juniors Juan Ramos, Christian Greene and Jordan Addison. Ramos and Addison both qualities for counties last year at 189 and 215, respectively.

“I think all three of them are good enough to place in the county tournament,” said Cellan of his 189-pound trio.

Another wrestler who could emerge as a county contender this season is sophomore Anthony Velasquez at 172, who Cellan said is making strides after gaining valuable varsity experience on

the mats as a freshman.

Freeport will tackle dual meet matches in early January starting with a Jan. 4 battle against Sewanhaka East at home starting at 6 p.m. before hitting the road to face local rival Uniondale on Jan. 10 at 5 p.m. The Nassau County dual meet championships are scheduled for Jan. 21 at Clarke High School in Westbury.

The Nassau County individual championships will return to Hofstra University’s Mack Sports Complex for the first time since 2018 on Feb. 11-12 with Free-

port’s top wrestlers looking to earn a spot on the podium with a top six finish. The New York State Championships will be held Feb. 24-25 at MVP Arena in Albany.

“You are always looking forward to the individual tournament more than anything,” Cellan said. “The dual meet championship is important, but it’s more about the individual tournament and toward the end of the year and that’s where those kids get to go places in the county and go upstate.”

Echo Park closing doors for $2 million renovation

The Echo Park indoor pool complex in West Hempstead has a long history of providing entertaining relief for Hempstead town residents. But that history will have to pause over the next several months while town officials push through the first phase of renovations, closing the pool until at least around Labor Day this year. And those $2 million worth of construction is just the beginning.

“The renovation of Echo Park is a multimillion-dollar project that will be completed over the next few years,” said Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin. “The Town of Hempstead is committed to upgrading this facility while minimizing the inconvenience for our local swimmers who frequent the park year-round.”

potentially save on energy bills.

That should bring Echo Park into the late summer or early fall, a town spokesperson said. What comes next is still being decided by town officials.

“The new and improved Echo Park will surely make a splash when completed,” Clavin said.

In the meantime, typical Echo Park visitors can travel to East Meadow instead to use the indoor pool there. The Nassau County Aquatic Center will accept passes issued by the Town of Hempstead during the renovation project.

Echo Park is generally open to all town residents, providing a rate discount to those who don’t live inside an incorporated village or special park district. Daily rates there are typically $8 to $9 for individuals, and $4.50 for children between 5 and 9, as well as senior citizens, the disabled, and volunteer first responders.

The first phase of construction includes a new air ventilation system, something that has taken on even more importance during the Covid-19 pandemic era. Other scheduled work includes a new state-of-the-art pool filtration system, new energy-efficient lighting, renovation of the north and south interior walls, and recaulking windows to prevent air leaks and

Nassau County offers similar rates in its East Meadow complex for those living in the county who also buy a three-year “leisure pass” for $36. Those without the pass, and those who don’t live in Nassau County, could pay daily rates as high as $22 for adults, and $14 for children.

And renovations in Echo Park aren’t exactly new. The West Hempstead complex

tal review process conducted by the village.

With that bill passed and on Hochul’s desk, community organizations connected with labor unions on Dec. 17 for what they called a “Last Chance Rally,” imploring Hochul to veto the measure.

“Gov. Hochul has been our target audience for our actions because the rest of our representation is outright ignoring us,” activist and Long Island Progressive Coalition board member Kiana Abbady said at the rally. “We are calling on the governor to listen to the community and the courts and veto this dangerous legislation.”

Jordan-Awalom claims the veto means Hochul is now on the school district’s side in the dispute.

“Gov. Hochul understands that this bill was part of an unjust campaign by the village that would have harmed our communities,” the school board president said. “We are thrilled she understands that the school district must not have its athletic facilities taken away.”

Freeport village attorney Howard Colton said while his side was disappointed in Hochul’s decision, the village will still press on with the courts. They are preparing for a court-ordered mediation session next week.

“We would hope the school district would try to settle this matter,” Colton said.

“So far, they have been resistant, and have spent $500,000 of taxpayer money.”

The village published a newsletter in August titled “Cleveland Avenue: The Truth,” outlining a sequence of contacts between the Freeport school district and the village council over the park site.

Village officials claimed all school sports activities would be relocated from Cleveland Avenue to Cow Meadow, and Cleveland Park would be devoted to corpo-

rate growth.

Plans for the Cow Meadow park renovation are still in progress, officials said, clarifying that whatever the fate of the Cleveland Avenue field, it would have no impact on Cow Meadow plans.

Judy Griffin — one of the dozen or so Assembly members voting against the measure last June praised the governor for making what she said was the right decision.

“I applaud Gov. Kathy Hochul’s veto as a victory for Freeport’s families, Freeport school district, students, athletes, and community activists, as well as our allies in organized labor,” Griffin said, in a statement. “No matter where our children live, it is vital they have green space to play sports, enjoy the outdoors, and gather as a community.”

A brief history of Cleveland Avenue Park

The legal battle between Freeport village officials and the community’s school district is all over a field that has been located on Cleveland Avenue since 1949.

Later renamed the William “Bill” Ashley Memorial Field, the Cleveland Avenue site has been used by Freeport public schools for sporting practices, considering it a parkland easement.

Village officials contest that designation, claiming ownership of the field in 1971 with the ability to end its usage by the schools anytime it wanted — even for potential business development.

The school district sued the village last September in an effort to preserve the field. Freeport village officials responded with a lawsuit of their own, seeking $45 million in damages, claiming the school district was impeding the village’s economic growth.

The village believes developing the land would create significant tax revenue while also bringing jobs to this part of Long Island.

Village officials had convinced the state legislature to intervene, forcing the school district’s hand. But those efforts fell short last month when Gov. Kathy Hochul vetoed a bill that would’ve cleared the path for the village to sell the land.

That means the lawsuits will continue, with a court mediation between the two parties set for next week.

Dancing With The Stars Live

Heroism unfolds in an epic adventure

elcome the New Year with another dose of that wonderful world of Disney. The latest Disney ice extravaganza arrives at UBS Arena in Elmont to the delight of families who can’t get enough of their favorite Disney moments. Audiences can relive some of the iconic characters and stories — classic and new — when Disney on Ice’s “Into the Magic” brings a lineup of Disney “royalty” here for four days, opening Jan. 5.

WHERE WHEN

• Thursday through Sunday. Jan. 5-11; times vary.

• Tickets start at $20 (pricing may fluctuate based on demand); available at Ticketmaster.com or DisneyOnIce.com

• UBS Arena, 2400 Hempstead Turnpike, Elmont

This production showcases inspiring favorites from the Disney canon, including those spunky royal sisters, Anna and Elsa, from the always popular mega-hit “Frozen.” Joining this spirited pair are the forever-enchanting Belle, dauntless Rapunzel and the charming bandit Flynn, the determined Cinderella, the aspiring young musician Miguel, and the daring and fearless Moana. Their courage and plucky grit to live their best lives are set forth in lively — albeit condensed — re-tellings of “Beauty & the Beast,” “Coco,” “Tangled,” “Cinderella,” “Frozen” and “Moana.”

These unforgettable characters and their adventures are brought to life on ice in a captivating production that transports audiences to worlds where imaginations soar and in true Disney spirit “anything can happen if you just believe.” Guided by Mickey and Minnie and their crew, of course — with the assistance of two hosts this time around — these tales are told through graceful, artful skating and dynamic special effects, set to the soundtrack fans know and love.

In keeping with longstanding Disney tradition, it’s a fast-paced spectacle with rapidly changing segments.

“All celebrate why these stories are so special,” says Chase Belmontes, who performs as Gaston, Belle’s strapping suitor. “The uplifting nature of these stories all end strongly with an inspiring message about finding your dreams and finding your inner hero.”

That message surely resonates with the 27-year-old Las Vegas native, who is in his third year with Disney On Ice. “I grew up with Disney as a

kid,” he says. “I loved Disney and watched all the movies. Being here now is a personal accomplishment.”

As with his fellow cast members, Belmontes’ competitive skating skills enhance the high level of athleticism that is the hallmark of these productions. Solos, pair and fast-paced ensemble skating with high-flying jumps add to the appeal of the stories the audience knows so well.

“There are so many iconic moments,” he says, noting the pairs sequence in his “Beauty and the Beast “ portion, which also includes a dramatic ensemble routine. “It’s all very exciting.”

And, of course, “Frozen” elicits an enthusiastic response. As Belmontes says: “Always a fan favorite.” Especially when it comes time for “Let It Go.”

“It’s absolutely magical,” he continues. “Everyone sings along to every single word. It’s such a wonderful experience.”

There’s plenty of singing, with the audiences up on their feet throughout the show. And, naturally, Belles, Cinderellas and many others are scattered throughout the arena.

“Everyone dresses up in costume, even adults.” Belmontes says. “It’s amazing. So sit back and soak it all in. There’s a lot to look at and enjoy.”

indeed.

The popular dance showcase is back on tour this winter to celebrate its 31st season.

One parent, Dawn De La Llera, attended the program with her 18-month-old daughter Dahlia.

My building’s in need of a tenant

Q. I have a building that has been unoccupied for three years. I bought it because it was going to have a long-term tenant. They backed out, so I need to get the building rented. I have a prospect who wants me to get the permits for their animal grooming service operation, with possible overnight boarding. They’re only interested if the permits are ready to go. What is the minimum I can do to get the permit and get the tenant into the building to rent? The building is 8,000 square feet, and the tenant only needs about 5,000. Do I need more permits for another tenant, and can I get them both together to save money? I need to do this quickly, or the tenant will go elsewhere. What can be done?

A. Time and cost are a problem. You probably won’t get results in under seven months to a year. Building plans take time, and must involve the tenant’s specific input as to where walls, plumbing and equipment will be located.

Most people treat plans like they’re just a suggestion, to be changed later, but the reality is that the plans need to show very specifically what will be done. Those plans have to be filed with all the required application papers and a property survey with the building department, which will then put the plans in a lineup with all the other plan folders that come in that will eventually be reviewed. Depending on the size of the community, this process can take three to four months before you first hear back that your plans are objected to or rejected.

Once you learn that you can’t be approved with a straight-away permit, you may request that the file go into a request for varying from the zoning code, since most municipalities do not allow overnight animal boarding. This is the zoning variance request. A zoning case is separate from a building permit, and requires the preparation of a map of the property, along with neighboring properties — sometimes, depending on the community, as far away as 600 feet. For commercial use, some municipalities require that the map show the accurate outline of all buildings and names of tenants and owners on each property, prepared by a licensed land surveyor.

If the plans you submit on behalf of your potential tenant do not reflect the true layout of the shapes and sizes of rooms, the location of equipment, etc., you may find yourself applying again to repeat the process when a building inspector sees that the plans were not followed, so you and the tenant have to treat this process seriously.

Also, if the building is not yet outfitted with sprinklers, plan on another seven- to 10-month process with the fire marshal. It can take less, but this is a common time frame. This process cannot be rushed, and isn’t like getting a driver’s license. Each tenant’s plans will need to be filed for separately. Good luck!

The ups and downs of 2022

Yes, 2022 was quite a year. Politics were at their ugliest. The world was in turmoil. War raged in the Ukraine. Overall, it was a tumultuous year. Here are some thoughts on it. The election had many surprises for New Yorkers. Kathy Hochul became the first elected woman governor in state history, but won her first full term by only 5 percentage points.

Hochul ran a remote campaign, and failed to do local events. Her Republican opponent, Lee Zeldin, made it a closer contest than expected, using the issue of crime effectively.

Long Island made history by electing four Republican members of Congress, who helped their party cement its majority in the House. One of the winners, George Santos, turned out to have lied about his entire resume. Candidates sometimes exaggerate a chapter of their history, but not the entire story. At this writing, Santos was about to be investigated by the Nassau County district attorney. Even if he’s able to hang on to his job, he’ll definitely be a one-term member of Congress.

There were some other big local winners. Nassau Republican chair Joe Cairo’s candidates unseated two state senators, and his party now has seven out of nine Long Island senate seats. We can hope that the winning seven will find a way to work with the two Democrats whose party controls the senate. Cairo also produced a winning margin locally for Zeldin, which helped make the final results much closer.

Love him or not, President Biden had some big victories last year. Congress passed a bipartisan gun control bill, the first of its kind since the early 1990s. Of course, it took a number of major tragedies to spark a major defeat for the National Rifle Association, which had successfully blocked previous bills.

As well, new microchip legislation will pave the way for microchip factories in the United States. New York will get its own major chip facility upstate, which could bring thousands of jobs.

Another bipartisan win was the passage of a major bill that will fund the battle against climate change, a first in the country’s history. New York did its share by passing a $4 billion bond to combat global warming in the state. It will pay for

badly needed repairs to water and sewer systems and provide dollars for new forms of clean energy. Considering the measure’s high cost, its approval by voters was a miracle.

Those voters also sent a clear message to the Albany establishment on the issue of bail reform. Whether or not crime rates are as high in your community as some claim, the State Legislature will have to clean up the current law, or Democrats will take a bigger beating in 2024 and possibly lose control of the Senate.

And 2022 was supposed to be the year when cannabis would be sold at retail dispensaries. Some permits were given to people who’d had marijuana-related convictions, but otherwise the program stalled. New York is far behind Massachusetts and Rhode Island when it comes to legalized pot sales.

Our battle against the coronavirus last winter was successful. The number of New Yorkers suffering from the disease dropped dramatically. Covid vaccines proved to be effective. While mandates to wear masks were finally lifted, wearing masks in 2023 in crowded places will still be effective in keeping the numbers down.

Last November’s election results were historic. Over the past 50-plus years, the

president’s party has almost always lost seats in Congress, and has sometimes lost control of the House or Senate as well. But this time around, the Democrats, who some forecast would lose both houses, surprisingly kept control of the Senate, and almost retained control of the House.

So, 2022 was the year that prosecutors and the Jan. 6 committee painted a vivid picture of numerous wrongdoings by former President Donald Trump. He is facing grand jury deliberations, and even many of his staunchest supporters acknowledge that his reputation has taken a major hit. The failure of the candidates he endorsed in November didn’t help, either. This may be the year that he is called to account for his missteps.

The nation needs a cleansing from Trump’s grip on the Republican Party, which will help both political parties refocus on making government work — or at least they will try. This was quite a year. Hopefully, our leaders will learn from their mistakes, and produce some positive results for we the people.

Happiness is a reach, but we have long arms

As the new year begins, let us look up to the stars that light our winter nights.

The transition from 2022 to 2023 has been showered with starlight. Fresh off the front lines in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky, the most unlikely of heroes, came to America to thank us for our support, and ask for more. As it turns out, the man in green fatigues roused something in us that had been beaten lifeless over the past few years: pride in our will to do good, faith in our democracy and a clear demarcation between right and wrong. Heroism is a rare commodity, but it walked into Congress on Dec. 21 and reminded us of who we are.

invaded, he stepped out of his old life and into battle dress. His visit to the U.S. shook something loose in our pervasive national cynicism and growing mistrust of one another. Here is a good guy, brave, not afraid to die for his country, a real David against a monstrous Goliath.

The Ukrainians face a winter without heat or running water, under constant bombardment by Russia. Their courage reminds us what death-defying bravery looks like after years of Trumpist self-serving corruption.

“It is often in the darkest skies that we see the brightest stars,” the philosopher Hannah Arendt said. Just in these last weeks, as 2022 ended and as 2023 begins, the sky seems afire with hope.

human-rights and voter-rights legislation through Congress.

Heroes come in unlikely personas at odd times. Cassidy Hutchinson is in the news, too. The 26-year-old former assistant to Mark Meadows, the Trump White House chief of staff, a woman who knows right from wrong, decided to tell the truth about President Trump’s alleged crimes despite enormous pressure to dissemble. It is hard to overstate the significance of her testimony. She is key to the Department of Justice investigation of Trump and the insurrection. A woman who had to look up the history of Watergate to guide her may be key to preserving our democracy.

cal behavior at NYU Langone. The article alleged longstanding policies on the part of hospital administrators to offer favorable treatment to powerful donors and celebrities and political figures. The reporting stood boldly against those who think that might makes right, and in support of those who surrender to privilege or who are resigned to “the way things work.”

In the wake of the Times story, maybe those bending the rules will be held accountable. It’s going around.

The fact that we have newspapers and reporters who sweat the details and follow up and write truth to power is another bright star in our firmament.

Nothing about the Ukrainian presidential visit was business as usual. Zelensky’s superheroic persona was forged in the fires sparked by Russian missiles and tanks. Seems like a minute ago he was an entertainer raising a family in a safe and bustling society. But when the Russians

There was something uplifting in how it all looked: the man from Ukraine hugging the outgoing Speaker of the House and embracing the American president. Political pundits have been busy hounding aging boomers out of the public spotlight and urging older statespeople to retire. Yet it was 82-year-old Nancy Pelosi and 80-year-old Joe Biden who were getting things right, and getting the people’s work done. It was 72-year-old Sen. Chuck Schumer who pushed some critical

Then there’s the January 6th congressional committee and its 800-somethingpage report, released during these weeks of wonder. Another unlikely force for good, the committee, over 18 months, compiled a detailed and disturbing account of a rogue presidency, an attempted coup, and a coterie of accomplices to crimes against our nation.

Accountability is in the air, and it isn’t only playing out in our government. More locally, The New York Times recently ran a front-page story detailing alleged unethi-

For these many years of political travail and pandemic grief, newspapers have kept us informed. Stories like the expose on NYU prove that we have people in our profession who care about public corruption and work hard to bring it to light.

Correspondents on the ground in Ukraine risk their lives every day to bring us the human story unfolding there.

We survived the shortest day of the year. As the daylight lingers, is it harmony in our homeland we see in the new year? Moments of happiness? Certainly the stars are brilliant in our cold, dark skies, and we can read that as hope.

I s it harmony in our homeland we see in the new year? Moments of happiness?

This was quite a year. We can hope that our leaders will learn from their mistakes.

When ‘it’s just government’ isn’t an excuse

It’s a new year. A time of renewal. A time when we look ahead to brighter days.

Many people, however, woke up a couple of days before Christmas to heavy rain and wind that once again brought a frightening amount of flooding to residential streets and primary roadways.

The early-winter storm evoked memories of 2012’s Hurricane Sandy, which was considered a once-in-a-century weather event. One South Shore resident even said that the storm was “giving me Sandy vibes.”

As early-morning motorists maneuvered through small rivers of water, it wasn’t surprising that some thought, “No, not again.” But they may have scratched their heads at the next thought: “Where are all those Sandy flood-mitigation projects we were promised?”

Less than a year after Sandy, New York state — under the direction of then Gov. Andrew Cuomo — established the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery to centralize the rebuilding and recovery efforts. One of its programs, New York Rising Community Reconstruction, empowered local communities to provide input into resiliency projects. Sandy was one of three storms — along with Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee in 2011 — that were under the storm recovery office’s umbrella.

Roughly $4.4 billion was made available to the state through federal funding for an assortment of resiliency projects as well as for residential home rebuilding. For the NYRCR program, communities assembled committees of civic leaders. There were public meetings. Engineers were consulted. Ideas were exchanged. Public comment

Does the columnist understand the waves?

To the Editor:

Re Matthew Adarichev’s column “The red wave that wasn’t, and the crime wave that isn’t” (Dec. 8-14):

I guess Adarichev didn’t see or understand the election results here, where people rejected the Democrats’ message of being soft on crime and bail reform.

He writes that fear of crime enabled Republicans to pull the red wave here.

So let me get this straight: We were supposed to elect people who couldn’t care less about us being free and safe in our neighborhood and homes while democracy and inflation were the two top issues?

The left loves throwing the word “democracy” around, but when you ask them for a definition, their minds go blank.

Adarichev goes on to say that there’s no

was collected.

From the list of NYRCR projects provided by the storm recovery office, 45 have been completed in Nassau County, while 30 others are in progress. These projects total nearly $334 million. GOSR has done a heck of a job.

However, getting to this point is one thing, but finishing is something else. What started as a well-run program looks as if it’s going to be a tough haul to complete.

Local officials tasked with cooperating with their state counterparts have found the process, which continues today, annoyingly slow and frustrating. There have been too many meetings, too much talk, and a lack of coordination — to the point where it felt like projects were constantly stopping and starting.

One of the problems appears to have been self-inflicted. As local officials pushed to move the projects forward, not only were there too many personnel changes in the state storm-recovery office, but the incoming officials, based in New York City, were unfamiliar with Long Island. Some projects went through nearly 10 iterations. It seemed that the process had to start from scratch any time there was a change in GOSR leadership.

Storm recovery representatives were also constantly interpreting federal language differently, creating more bumps in the road. The large volume of paperwork that moved back and forth between municipalities — requirements put in place by federal agencies as a response to the rampant fraud, waste and abuse of funds after Hurricane Katrina —slowed projects down.

Then, in 2020, the world shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic. Projects that were in the works were given extensions because of unforeseen conditions that created supply-chain issues. That was understandable.

But don’t misunderstand: Much has been accomplished. There is a pump station in Cedarhurst, for example, that surely could help reduce flooding on Peninsula Boulevard.

Cuomo’s idea of having one central entity to oversee the projects was a good one. And the grass-roots NYRCR program won numerous national awards. But as more projects move forward, the state’s execution needs to be better. Now that there is a record of what was done — good and bad — there should be an audit, and what is learned from it should be applied as soon as possible.

The state’s newly created — and much more permanent — Office of Resilient Homes and Communities will now take over the storm recovery office portfolio. We hope that a permanent department will mean less staff shuffling and a streamlining of the bureaucracy. Importantly, state officials need to be more familiar with the communities they are supposed to be helping.

At one of many public meetings held several years ago, one resident was heard to say, “It’s just government,” in response to proposed plans that neighbors did not completely agree with.

That’s not an excuse our government should hide behind. To start the new year off right, the state should move the remaining projects to completion as soon as possible — before the next storm strikes.

Does Kirsten Gillibrand care about Long Islanders?

Absent on personal appearances. Just plain absent. Even Newsday was compelled at one point to ask, “Where is she?”

New York state’s missing U.S. senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, recently surfaced on Long Island. That must mean that Gillibrand finally got around to analyzing November’s election results and the near-death experience that will be seared into Gov. Kathy Hochul’s memory. Say what you will about our senior senator, Chuck Schumer — and there’s much to say — at least he knows where Long Island is. Before he became majority leader, Schumer seemed to be on the Island every weekend, holding news conferences on topics ranging from baby products to the width of airline seats. He understood the power of Long Island’s potent voter base and its propensity to swing right or left, depending on issues and personalities.

Schumer has been in our faces, like him or not, because he understands politics and the importance of engaging voters. He has long recognized that if you take Long Island for granted, you do so at your own political peril.

Gillibrand? She has long been absent on issues. Absent on voter engagement.

Well, you can tell that she has checked the calendar, and discovered that re-election is just two years away. Last month she met with journalists in Melville. In what was described as a wide-ranging discussion, Gillibrand announced that Long Island’s “red wave” would end in 2024. While suggesting that her party was trounced in November because “a lot of Long Island is libertarian,” she added, “I intend to run for re-election and win the state back, along with Long Island.”

These are bold words from someone who has failed to make a serious connection with Long Island voters. Over the years, Gillibrand has made a handful of announcements about federal programs, with little evidence that she pursued them specifically for our region, or even the state. In some instances, she has simply piggybacked off press statements from Schumer’s office.

To be fair, a search reveals that she held a town hall meeting at Hofstra in October. At that event, in which she engaged with students, the focus was the

crime wave, and that it’s OK to steal your catalytic converter. These thieves aren’t looking for their next meal or hanging out at soup kitchens. They are highly organized criminals, along with a few complicit junkyard owners, netting hundreds of thousand of dollars a year.

It sickens Adarichev that there’s another shooting, another corpse and some boyfriend beating up his girlfriend.

No mention of how the victims feel being pushed in front of a train or mugged on the street, or of bullets shot through children’s bedroom windows. Welcome to the world of bail reform, criminals’ get-out-of-jailfree card. But according to Matt, we have nothing to worry about.

Then he brings up a price cap to reduce the cost of gas. Here’s an idea: open drilling and exploration, like the last administration did. We were energy-independent and gas was $2 a gallon.

Now President Biden begs for gas from Venezuela, which is run by a dictator, and Saudi Arabia, which still hasn’t come clean about 9/11.

Government shouldn’t control energy on L.I.

The recent column by Ronald Rosenberg (“‘Energy efficient’ may become a contradiction in terms,” Dec. 1-7) hits the nail on the head. Proposed moves away from the current public/private energy setup, which works well, are supported by left-wing activists who want further government control.

Current conventional energy producers and purveyors tend to be Republican and conservative. The cries for clean and green energy have less to do with saving the planet and more to do with consolidating power among Democrats and socalled progressives. More and more analysis has shown that electric cars, wind power and solar power are fraught with failures. Wake up, folks — the real goal here is to consolidate power among the radical left, not to save the planet.

Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion. She told the Herald that she was in favor of term-limiting the justices. Ironically, that’s a suggestion she has not proffered for members of the Senate.

Gillibrand described herself as “very progressive” in her Melville interview, which raises the question: Just how far out of step is she with the majority of New Yorkers and those Long Island “libertarians” who voted in the last election cycle? Does she appreciate that being “very progressive” may serve to short-circuit a primary challenge from the left, but leaves her totally at odds with moderates in both parties?

Being frightened of a left-wing primary challenge led Hochul to ignore such profound issues as crime, high taxes, and municipal zoning authority. Her election night turned rather tense as returns demonstrated that a state with nearly twice as many Democrats as Republicans wasn’t going to give her the margin of victory her consultants were touting.

Former Rep. Lee Zeldin has given no indication of what he plans to do for the next two years. He has been mentioned as a potential choice as the next state GOP chairman, who could infuse new blood and strategic vision into that posi-

tion. There is also speculation that he could run for Senate, confronting Gillibrand’s progressive candidacy with the grounded policies of moderates and conservatives who want an engaged senator who knows the difference between AOC and the LIE.

Another Long Islander who would make a formidable opponent to Gillibrand is Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. He has quickly established his credentials as a tireless campaigner who embraces policies that are welcomed by those who describe themselves as Republicans, as well as independents who are in search of common sense. Comfortable before the media, popular “at home” and dedicated to public service, Blakeman would be an attractive candidate on many levels.

While two years is a lifetime in politics, Gillibrand’s recent return to Long Island is like Halley’s Comet, an event that happens very rarely. And her description of our red wave as the product of a bunch of libertarians is a reflection of the fact that she may visit every once in a while, but she doesn’t know us. And never has.

Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.

The senator may visit every once in a while, but she doesn’t know us, and never has.
