Robert Griffo, far left, Jeannine Palladino, Michael Griffo, Antonia Griffo and Joseph Meszaros brought their family spirit to the “Family Feud” stage during filming in Georgia in February.
For years, the Griffo family of Rockville Centre played “Family Feud” at home. Last February, they took their ‘family feud’ to the big stage — and now the village, and everyone else who views the syndicated game show — gets to watch. Robert Griffo, sister Jeannine Palladino, brother Michael Griffo, niece Antonia Griffo and nephew, Joseph Meszaros, spent two days filming four episodes of the popular game show in Georgia. Michael is the co-owner of Lenox & Park Italian American Bistro on South Park Avenue, while Jeannine, Robert’s sister, owns Jeannine’s Gifts on North Park Avenue. The episodes, taped Feb. 9 and 10 at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville, near Atlanta, will air Sept. 30, Oct. 1, Oct. 2 and Oct. 5 at 7:30 p.m. on MY9. Lenox & Park will be hosting a watch party on Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. The Griffos are keeping the results under wraps Continued on PAGe 13
South Side High School grad leaves farewell art gift By BRIAN KACHARABA bkacharaba@liherald.com
Gabriela Guizzo, a 2026 graduate of South Side High School in Rockville Centre, is beginning a new chapter at the University of Massachusetts, but not before leaving behind a parting gift for her alma mater — a mural of some of the most influential women in history. As part of ASSESS — Alternatives for Senior Students Exiting South Side — graduating seniors are given the opportunity to pursue an independent project that is meaningful to them. For Guizzo, that opportunity resulted in “Thirty-six
Women Who Made History,” an 18-canvas mural featuring two portraits on each canvas. The canvases are arranged together in a hallway near the school’s art and history classrooms, reflecting the two subjects that helped shape Guizzo’s high school experience. “I knew that I wanted to do a mural because I’ve always loved art,” the 18-year-old said. “When I was thinking of what I was going to do, I decided to combine my interest in history with a love of art and create a mural that kind of taught about history.” The mural features women from a range of fields and eras,
including civil rights trailblazers Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth; scientists and innovators Rachel Carson, Gladys West and Shirley Jackson; aviator Bessie Coleman; astronaut Kalpana Chawla; writer Toni Morrison; artist Georgia O’Keeffe; athlete Billie Jean King; and entertainers Ella Fitzgerald, Lucille Ball and Dolly Parton. Parton’s mural was particularly poignant because she died on Aug. 25, just weeks after Guizzo completed it. “I was not thinking that that could happen,” Guizzo said of the singer-songwriter’s death. “I immediately thought back to
when I was painting that portrait of her. I think when she passed, it made it a lot more meaningful that she’s on the mural.” She initially considered featuring women from throughout world history, and her original list g rew to about 50 names before she reduced it to 36. She selected women who
were considered particularly influential from a variety of fields, including science, technology, medicine, journalism, activism, politics, exploration, ar t, literature, music and entertainment. Guizzo said she also wanted to give recognition to women whose accomplishments may Continued on PAGe 20

Superintendent Matthew Gaven discussed the proposed finance advisory committee during the Sept. 10 Board of Education meeting at South Side High School, as board President Kelly Barry looked on.
School board considers advisory panel for finances By BRIAN KACHARABA bkacharaba@liherald.com
The Rockville Centre Board of Education is moving toward establishing a finance advisory committee that would give the board input on the district’s financial planning and capital projects. The committee would provide a way for community members with relevant expertise to advise the board as it develops a five-year financial plan and a five-year capital plan. “The goals are very, very concrete,” Superintendent Matthew Gaven said. “The goals are create the five-year financial plan [and] create the five-year capital plan with public input.” The committee would be created through a Board of Education resolution. The proposal was discussed at the board’s Sept. 10 meeting, but the resolution has not yet been adopted. Gaven said the idea grew out of discussions held by the board last year about financial and budgetary oversight. The committee would have five members and meet regularly with district officials throughout the year. Members would review the development of the financial and capital plans and provide advice that could be considered by the board. Gaven said the committee would not replace opportunities residents have to provide input at Board of Education meetings or by contacting district officials. Instead, it would give the district another way to draw on community expertise. “We will have discussed this with that five-member advisory committee, sought their advice, got their advice and incorporated their feedback as appropriate into those presentations,” Gaven said. The district is looking for residents with backgrounds that could help with the committee’s work. Gaven said experience in public finance would be highly valued, along with backgrounds in finance, architecture, physical plant management or accounting. Applicants also would have to meet ethical and confidentiality requirements. They could not have a direct or indirect financial interest in district contracts, and they could not have an
immediate relative who is a district employee or officer. Committee members would be required to maintain confidentiality because they could receive information that has not yet been made public. Trustee Mary Beth Joyce encouraged residents with relevant professional experience to consider serving on the committee. “I’m strongly supportive of this,” she said. “I had a lot of people who reached out to me during the last year we held campaigns and elections who were very interested in getting more involved in the district finances and really working a lot of attention. So I would really encourage people to consider doing this.” The proposal comes as the district begins a school year following a difficult budget process. In January, district officials projected a $3.78 million gap in the 2026-27 budget, prompting discussions about reductions. The final $141.3 million budget, approved by voters in May, included a 2.06 percent tax levy increase and staffing reductions, while 13 positions were restored. The budget vote also brought two new members to the Board of Education. Joyce and Christa Dorrego won the two available three-year seats in May. They joined a board after months of public discussion about spending, staffing and the budget. The proposed finance committee would add another avenue for community participation as the board works on longer-term financial planning. Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations William Herman explained that two committee members would also serve on the board’s audit committee. The district works with exter nal, inter nal and claims auditors as part of its regular financial oversight. Applicants are asked to submit a letter of interest and completed disclosure form to Gaven and Herman at FinanceCommittee@rvcschools.org. Gaven said he expects to update the board on the status of applications at its Sept. 24 work session. A resolution establishing the committee is also expected to be presented at that meeting.
Remembering 57 lives lost, 25 years later
ROCKVILLE CENTRE HERALD — September 17, 2026
By BRIAN KACHARABA bkacharaba@liherald.com
The names have remained. The memories have remained. And 25 years later, so has the promise that we will never forget. On Friday night, a large crowd gathered at Rockville Centre’s Village Green on Maple Avenue to remember the 57 residents lost on and as a result of Sept. 11, 2001, as the community confronted a day that, for many families, still does not feel like history. “It is hard to believe that a quarter of a century has passed since the morning that changed our nation forever,” Mayor Francis X. Murray said. “And yet, for some families, it does feel like 25 years.” Murray said the passage of time has not diminished the loss carried by families who lost loved ones that day or in the years that followed because of illnesses connected to the attacks. “We know that grief does not have an expiration date,” Murray said. “You carry your loss not only on anniversaries like this, but in the ordinary moments of everyday life.” For Patrick O’Brien, the village’s superintendent of buildings, the loss remains deeply personal. O’Brien remembered his brother, Timothy O’Brien, and his brother-in-law, Stephen Tighe, who were among those lost on Sept. 11. “Because we remember far more than how they died, we remember how they lived,” O’Brien said. “Their voices, their laughter, family gatherings and holidays, conversations and ordinary moments that we never realized would someday become so precious. “Behind the number of people lost on September 11 were individual lives,” he added. “Each person had a name, a family, loved ones, and plans for the future. And each left an empty chair that could never be filled.” The ceremony also remembered those whose lives were cut short by illnesses connected to the attacks. Barton Slavin spoke about his brother, NYPD Lt. Zachary Slavin, who became ill after working at Ground Zero and died in 2022. “I lost my brother, NYPD Lieutenant Zachary Slavin, because he had worked at Ground Zero and became ill from exposure to toxins,” Slavin said. “And after over 90 chemo treatments, he finally succumbed.” Slavin said that, despite the passage of time, memories of his brother remain woven into everyday life. “I value the times I could speak with my brother, even when he was ill, and laughed at his wife, their daughter, and their children,” he said. “And all of these things that we will now take for granted, they really are a gift.” Slavin then recited the “Litany of Remembrance,” concluding with its reflection on keeping loved ones alive through memory. “So, as long as we live, they too shall live,” he said. “For they are now, and they have been always, a part of us, as

Murray urged the community to preserve the stories of the 57 residents remembered and carry forward the promise to never forget. we remember them.” Both O’Brien and Murray spoke about the importance of passing those memories to a generation that did not experience Sept. 11 firsthand. “To the young people here who were not yet born in 2001, we ask this of you,” O’Brien said. “Learn their names. Listen to their families. Learn not only what happened that day, but who these people were.” Murray similarly urged the community to remember the lives behind the names. “They had dreams. They had plans. They had people who loved them. And they mattered,” Murray said. “They still matter.” The evening carried both solemnity and warmth. Frank Colon, commander of American Legion Post 303, performed “Taps,” providing an emotional tribute to those who were lost. But the ceremony did not end in silence. Peter Garrity and Tom McNicholas

followed with a duo guitar performance of “America the Beautiful,” leading the crowd in a sing-along that provided a fitting, heartfelt conclusion to an evening centered on remembrance, community
and the enduring promise not to forget. “25 years later, our message remains strong as ever,” Murray said. “We will never forget. We will always remember. And our light will never, ever go out.”

Much can be said about the attorneyclient relationship but mainly it is a relationship built on trust. The client trusts that the attorney is knowledgeable and has the client’s best interests at heart and, correspondingly, the client is respectful of the attorney’s time and counsel. As Lincoln famously said, “A lawyer’s time and advice are his stock in trade.” Some of the considerations in choosing an elder law estate planning firm should be: • How long has the firm been in business • How many attorneys does the firm employ • Does the firm have a succession plan • Does the firm review the plan regularly • What do its clients say about the firm • Does the firm charge for questions or emails • How does the firm set its fees While the client is interviewing the firm, the firm is also interviewing the client

South Side’s boys soccer team is looking to make the program’s 100th anniversary season one for record books. The Cyclones retur ned plenty of talent from last year’s 15-1-2 team that went unbeaten in the regular season before suffering a 1-0 defeat to Calhoun in the Nassau Class AA semifinals at Far mingdale State. Sixthyear South Side coach Patr i ck C o r ve t t i , a fo r m e r Cyclones player, is looking to mark the century mark of the prog ram with a 14th county title and first since 2014 after seeing sharp commitment from his team in the preseason. “I would say 95% of them spent the whole summer together working out in the morning with the coaches and then at the end of the summer we amped it up,” Corvetti said. “We came into the season with expectations we can win the whole thing.” South Side brought back some key offensive players in junior midfielder Teddy Fitzgerald, senior forward/ midfielder Quinari Mesqita and senior forward Noah Porter. Sophomores Sebastian Langley and Mark Stewart along with junior Brandon Curtis are newcomers playing central midfield roles early on this season. The Cyclones have plenty of experience with the backline led by seniors Colin Levine, Damien D’Antonio and Mike Martorona along with junior Mason Woo.

things to know sshs homecoming day
By BRIAN KACHARABA bkacharaba@liherald.com
South Side High School’s homecoming tradition will return to Rockville Centre on Saturday, Sept. 19, as students, athletes, families and alumni gather for the parade. The event will begin at noon, with participants lining up 30 minutes earlier before making their way toward campus. Following the procession, the celebration will continue on the high school campus with a carnival and the Cyclones’ homecoming football game. Here are three things to know about the parade and events for Homecoming Day, from the route and festivities to South Side’s matchup against Clarke.
The parade: Where and when to watch it The homecoming parade will begin with participants lining up at 11:30 a.m. The procession itself is scheduled to start at noon and will travel north along Long Beach Road in Rockville Centre. From there, the parade will turn onto Shepherd Street before continuing to its final destination at South Side High School. Residents, students, families and spectators can line the route to watch the procession as it makes its way toward the school. Once the parade reaches the SSHS campus, participants and spectators can transition to the school grounds for the rest of the day’s homecoming activities, including the post-parade carnival and the afternoon football game featuring the Cyclones and Clarke.
Homecoming spirit extends beyond the parade Last year, South Side High School brought the excitement of homecoming season to students throughout the Rockville Centre School District with a districtwide Pep Tour. Senior captains from the high school’s fall sports teams, along with student musicians, cheerleaders and school mascots, visited all five elementary schools and the middle school to build school spirit ahead of the homecoming celebrations. The tour gave younger students a glimpse of high school life while allowing them to connect with student-athletes and performers.With support from the Spirit Club, administrators and staff, the event promoted teamwork, school pride and unity among South Side seniors.
Cyclones seek 2-0 start against winless Clarke South Side opened its 100th season with a 36-0 victory over Elmont on Sept. 9 in Nassau III. Reagan Petrone led the Cyclones with 144 rushing yards on four carries and two touchdowns. Rob Cesario completed three of five passes for 121 yards and two scores, while Ethan Johnson added a 56-yard touchdown in the first quarter. The Cyclones will face Clarke at 2 p.m. on Homecoming Day at South Side High School. South Side also started last season with a win over the Rams, defeating Clarke 35-8 in 2025. The Rams enter the game 0-1 after falling to Bethpage 21-14 on Sept. 10. The homecoming matchup gives the Cyclones an opportunity to build on their strong start to the program’s 100th season overall.

A day of remembrance across the district Twenty-five years after the Sept. 11 attacks, the Rockville Centre school district marked the anniversary with ceremonies, classroom lessons and opportunities for students to reflect on the lives lost and the service of those who responded. At Francis F. Wilson Elementary School, students gathered outside for a ceremony attended by school officials as well as members of the Rockville Centre Village Board, Police Department and Fire Department. Many students wore red, white and blue as they took part in the patriotic observance commemorating the 25th anniversary. The ceremony was part of a series of observances planned throughout the Rockville Centre Union Free School District for Sept. 11. During the Board of Education meeting on Sept. 10, Superintendent Matthew Gaven outlined how the district’s schools would commemorate the anniversary through age-appropriate ceremonies, classroom instruction, moments of silence and service activities. At the district’s elementary schools, students were scheduled to participate in flag ceremonies, the Pledge of Allegiance, moments of silence and lessons focusing on patriotism, community helpers and the meaning of being a hero. Students at Covert Elementary School also created posters and thankyou notes for local police officers, firefighters, EMTs, veterans and other first responders. The materials were to be incorporated into an “Honoring Heroes of 9/11” tribute along Long Beach Road. Gaven also noted that members of the South Hempstead and Rockville Centre fire departments, along with EMTs and members of the local police department, had been honored at the South Side High School football game on Sept. 9. At South Side Middle School, students were scheduled to take part in social studies lessons and a special Patriot Day tribute during the morning announcements. South Side High School students were receiving instruction about Sept. 11 in their social studies classes, with additional opportunities for reflection planned through a 9/11 Memorial and Museum poster exhibit, service activities and lessons connected to the school’s own memorial. Across the district, schools planned moments of silence at 8:46 and 9:03 a.m., corresponding with significant moments during the attacks. At the high school, the observance was to be followed by the playing of taps. The district’s plans also included an emphasis on helping students understand the significance of Sept. 11 even though the event occurred before many of today’s students were born. Gaven said the district’s responsibility was to preserve the lessons of the attacks through remembrance, reflection, service and preparation for the future. The observances came as the district recognized the 25th anniversary of the attacks and sought to connect remembrance with lessons about service, character, empathy and community. –Brian Kacharaba

Trucking program at NCC offers fresh start Former NBA All-Star Jayson Williams’s course prepares trainees for new careers behind the wheel By JULIA GILLEGO jgillego@liherald.com
Rebound on the Road celebrated the graduation of its sixth cohort at Nassau Community College earlier this month, recognizing students who completed an intensive program designed to prepare them for careers in commercial trucking while providing support focused on mental health, recovery and personal growth. The graduation, on Sept. 3, marked more than the completion of an eightweek training program. It represented a new beginning for many participants. The program, founded by former NBA star Jayson Williams, is a partnership between Rebound on the Road, Nassau County and NCC. The program offers vocational training to people seeking a second chance, helping participants earn commercial driver’s licenses. For Jerry Kornbluth, NCC’s vice president of community and government relations, the most meaningful part of the ceremony was seeing how much the students had changed over the course of eight weeks. “And when you see them, eight weeks later, at a graduation, and what they’re saying to the other people, and the camaraderie that they built, and the family that they built, they’re going to

Participants train in driving, pretrip inspections and other skills needed to become commercial drivers. But the program also places a strong emphasis on mental health. Students began their mornings with time devoted
to reflection and discussion with mental health professionals before moving into their driving lessons. “I don’t want to put them behind 80,000 pounds if they’re not feeling it,” Williams said. “The psychiatrist and the psychotherapist are very important in what we do.” The combination of training and support, he added, helps turn the participants not only into better drivers, but
professionals prepared for long-term careers. “The thing I’m most proud of is that we become family here,” Williams said. That sense of community was echoed by graduate Emil Arthur-Ricketts, who said the program gave students an environment in which they could support one another while working toward a common goal. “I really enjoyed it,” Arthur-Ricketts said. “I love the fact that it’s family-oriented. It’s more than just trucking itself. It’s really about people coming together — brotherhood, fatherhood — and we all have a common goal in life.” The impact of the program extends beyond graduation day. Kornbluth said that more than 100 students who have graduated from the program have gone on to work driving trucks throughout the United States. Williams said that graduates also remain connected, returning to support one another and helping open doors for future cohorts. For the students celebrating at NCC, the ceremony marked both an ending and a beginning: the end of eight weeks of demanding training, and the start of careers built on responsibility, stability and the promise of a second chance.

Going from family room to ‘Family Feud’ for now. The family is talking about what it was like to turn years of playing along from home into a real television experience — complete with cameras, a studio audience and host Steve Harvey. “We always said we wanted to be on,” Robert said. “Everybody wanted to take turns being Richard Dawson.” Dawson was the original host. That longtime dream finally started moving toward reality in the summer of 2024, when another family member posted a link in an online group chat saying that “Family Feud” was looking for a family. Jeannine was at her vacation home when she saw the message. She had her computer on her lap while doing work and decided to fill out the application. “I thought I was just doing it as a goof,” she said. The application eventually led to a Zoom audition, where the family reenacted the game for producers. The family was offered dates to tape, but the first dates did not work for them. Producers told them to call back in December for the next season. That call eventually resulted in the family being selected for the show’s 50th anniversary season. Once the lineup was set, the Griffos began preparing for their television debut.
You guys are pimps,’” Robert recalled with a laugh. Jeannine had her own memorable exchange with Harvey. She was second in line at the lecter n when Harvey looked at her and said, “I see you’re the number two in line, but something tells me you are the boss.” “Well, you got that right,” Jeannine replied. Jeannine said Harvey also helped make the enormous studio feel more personal. During breaks in taping, she watched him interact with members of the audience and keep them entertained. For the Griffos, the experience was about more than appearing on television. It gave the family a chance to spend time together and create memories that will last long after the episodes air. “I had a great time with my family and that’s what’s most important,” Jeannine said. Robert said the family’s connection to Rockville Centre was also part of what they brought with them to Georgia. “We were born and bred in Rockville Centre, you know, very close Italian family, and I think just from the community that Rockville Centre cultivates, we exemplified exactly what that community is about,” he said.
They practiced individually and rounds before the actual taping. The production staff kept the famitogether, including during Thanksgiving, and played a version of the game on lies energized throughout the long days. “It’s 14 hours of very high energy,” an iPhone.

Suozzi pushes protection for worshippers ramid@liherald.com
More than two dozen religious leaders representing a number of faiths stood together at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center last week as U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi called for passage of federal legislation intended to protect people from intimidation and harassment at religious services. Suozzi highlighted the bipartisan, bicameral Right to Worship Act at a Sept. 9 news conference at the center in Glen Cove. Alan Mindel, chairman of HMTC’s board of directors, said that protecting religious freedom is central to the organization’s mission. “This bill grants necessary protections to houses of worship so as to protect the constitutional rights of freedom of religion granted to all Americans,” Mindel said. “In the current climate, where people have been obstructed from entering their house of worship, this new law will allow each American, regardless of faith, to freely enter their church, synagogue or mosque for their constitutionally protected right to pray, without obstruction or harassment.” Suozzi said that people should not have to put themselves at risk simply to practice their faith. “Exercising your right to worship should not require you to exhibit partic-

U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi, top center, joined religious and advocacy leaders on Sept. 9 to call for passage of the bipartisan Right to Worship Act. ular courage as you enter your synagogue, church, mosque, temple, mandir or gurdwara,” he said. The legislation would establish a 100foot zone around pedestrian and vehicular entrances to houses of worship, beginning one hour before a scheduled service and ending an hour afterward. Within that area, conduct intended to hinder, deter, threaten or intimidate people attending services would be prohibited. Peaceful expression protected by the First Amendment would remain protected. Violations would carry civil penalties, with fines ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 for repeat offenses. The measure would also allow affected worshippers
to pursue civil action, and permit the U.S. attorney general and state attorneys general to bring cases against violators. The Right to Worship Act grew out of Suozzi’s SACRED Act — Safeguarding Access to Congregations and Religious Establishments from Disruption — which he introduced in April, and which included criminal penalties. Negotiations over the legislation, he said, centered on balancing two constitutional rights, freedom of speech and freedom of worship. “Finding a balance between the two is a real challenge,” he said. “It’s why it hasn’t been done — it’s why it’s been controversial.”
Suozzi eventually joined Republican Rep. Brad Knott, of North Carolina, to develop a single proposal that could attract broader support. The House legislation is accompanied by a Senate measure backed by Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, of Texas, and Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin, of Michigan. “You shouldn’t have to show courage to go attend your religious services,” Suozzi said. Brandi Katz Rubin, the Anti-Defamation League’s New York/New Jersey deputy regional director, said that harassment at houses of worship has made such protections increasingly important. “No one should have to push through a hostile crowd, shout over a bullhorn or endure targeted threats while simply trying to enter a house of worship and pray,” Katz Rubin said. The ADL, she added, recorded nearly 530 incidents of antisemitic harassment at synagogues nationwide in 2025, along with dozens of protest-related incidents. According to Suozzi, there was discussion of moving the legislation through the Senate as early as this month. If that doesn’t happen, he said supporters could pursue passage during the lame-duck session in November or December. “We really want to get it done this year,” he said, citing momentum from religious organizations and lawmakers in both parties.

Aiming to ease emissions on Car Free Day By BRIAN KACHARABA bkacharaba@liherald.com
Long Island residents are being encouraged to rethink how they get around when the region marks its 14th annual Car Free Day, an initiative in which participants are asked to replace at least one trip made alone by car with a sustainable option. Car Free Day, on Sept. 22, is observed in cities around the world. Long Island joined the movement 13 years ago with a campaign focused on raising awareness of transportation choices and measuring emissions saved when people leave their cars behind. Mindy Germain, co-chair of Car Free Day LI and program manager for Transit Solutions, said the goal is not for participants to eliminate driving for an entire day. “All we ask you to do is swap out one drive-alone car trip,” Germain said. That could mean walking to a store, taking the train or bus, bicycling, or sharing a ride with someone who would otherwise drive separately. Organizers measure the emissions saved through pledges received leading up to the event, and calculate the total for Long Island. Germain said the campaign had already reached about 75 tons of saved emissions based on those pledges. Transportation, she said, accounts for about a third of the emissions con-

The Long Island Rail Road is among the transportation alternatives that Car Free Day LI organizers hope more residents will consider on Sept. 22. tributing to Long Island’s environmental impact, making alternatives to driving important for air quality and efforts to slow global warming. Participation this year is on pace to reach 5,000 pledges, which Germain said would be the most since the pandemic. She also pointed to changing patterns in transit use. In June, the Long Island
Rail Road recorded 5 million rides, a record, with many trips for purposes other than commuting. People are increasingly using the railroad for leisure, she said, while students use it to travel to the city for internships and programs. Family ridership has also increased thanks to an LIRR program that allows
children 17 or younger to ride for $1 when accompanied by a parent. For Germain, the most meaningful measure of success is seeing people actually using alternatives to driving. “What really is exciting to me is seeing that 20-something-year-old take the NICE bus to get to Farmingdale State College,” she said, referring to the Nassau Inter-County Express bus service, “or to see the employees at Northwell Health walk to lunch that day, the actions themselves, and the excitement it generates.” While Car Free Day is held once a year, Germain said the coalition promoting it works throughout the year with municipalities, transit partners, academic institutions and health care organizations. Improving transportation choices, she said, can also expand mobility for people who don’t drive, including older adults who have stopped driving and younger people who can’t afford cars. “I think that mobility offers so much freedom,” Germain said. People who live or work in Nassau or Suffolk counties can take participate by making a pledge on the Car Free Day LI website. Participants can also enter a raffle for prizes, including two hybrid bicycles, a Lululemon bundle and an LIRR weekly ticket. More information, and the pledge form, are available at CarFreeDayLI.com.

T
he music — that’s what keeps him coming back MARY TRAVIS Wife, Randy Travis
Randy Travis’s music lives on, forever and ever
‘More Life’ tour features country star and guest vocalist, James Dupré By JORDAN VALLONE
C
ountry Music Hall of Fame legend Randy Travis is bringing one of the final dates of his acclaimed “More Life” tour to Long Island, wrapping up an emotional two-year run that has taken the show to 54 cities across 24 states. The dynamic performance arrives at Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair on Sept. 25. The show begins at 8 p.m. Travis’s four-decade long career generated iconic No. 1 hits, including “Forever and Ever, Amen,” “On The Other Hand,” and “Three Wooden Crosses,” among others. While Travis no longer performs due to the side effects of a stroke he survived in 2013, he joins his wife, Mary Travis, on stage throughout the show, interacting with fans and celebrating his music alongside longtime members of his band and guest vocalist James Dupré.
Randy Travis carries his country music legacy forward
Travis, 67, is a North Carolina native whose music helped usher in a new traditionalist movement of modern country music when he released. Recognized for his baritone voice and an earnest approach to music, he won backto-back Country Music Association Song of the Year awards in 1986 and 1987. The seven-time Grammy award winner has sold sold over 25 million albums, generating 23 No. 1 hits and 31 Top 10s. He was named a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1986 and inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2016. Though a near-fatal stroke has left him unable to perform, Travis’s recovery and commitment to his fans and music has inspired many. “The music — that’s what keeps him coming back,” Mary Travis told the Herald on a call with the country music legend. “That was Randy’s heart, his soul. That’s all he ever wanted to do was make music.” In 2024, Travis released “Where That Came From” through Warner Records Nashville, his
first new recording in over a decade, developed through the use of artificial intelligence software which helped recreate his vocals. It was overlaid on an existing recording of the song from his longtime collaborator, Dupré. Dupré, 42, of Louisiana, became a YouTube sensation in 2007 which led to a performance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” Since then, he’s released multiple albums, appeared on NBC’s “The Voice” in 2015, and was eventually handpicked by Travis and his wife in 2019 to be the guest vocalist for the “More Life” tour. Dupré and Travis first worked together for a 2015 film, “The Price,” which tells the story of an aging country music singer aspiring to reconnect with his son. Years later, when Travis’s team discussed the possibly of him touring again, Dupré emerged as the best choice for long-term collaboration. “When Tony Conway, Randy’s manager said, several years after the stroke, ‘If we wanted to go back on the road, who would you have sing the music?’ — we immediately said James Dupré,” Mary recounts. “We remembered the connection that the two of them had, and it has proved correct. When you see the two on stage, you can see the relationship and the magnetism. It just works perfectly.” • Friday, Sept. 25, 8 p.m. Dupré’s collaboration with Travis, and the release of “Where That • Tickets begin at $35 per person Came From,” helped launch a new chapter of advocacy for Travis and • Flagstar at Westbury Music his wife, who used the song as a platform to champion creators’ rights Fair, 960 Brush Hollow Road, and responsible AI protections for artists. Westbury “It was a good way to introduce AI to be used in a good way,” • Visit RandyTravis.com for Mary says.“Randy’s heart and soul was still in it.

Travis’s tour debuted as “The Music of Randy Travis,” but last year, his team changed the name to the “More Life” tour. “More Life” was one of the last songs Travis recorded before his stroke. “When we were in the hospital, it kept me going because it’s such a beautiful song,” Mary says. “We decided to name the tour ‘More Life’ because that’s what we felt like we got — more life — as a gift.” She describes the show as more than a “regular concert.” Travis’s songs are performed by Dupré, alongside members of his original band, but there’s also videos of Travis shown to the crowd spanning the entire length of his career. Mary also joins Travis and Dupré on stage to tell stories about her husband and his music. “It’s very interactive,” Mary says “It’s almost like a biopic of Randy Travis. It’s not just a concert — it’s a story, and it’s sad, it’s sweet, it’s happy. It’s just Randy Travis, and it’s a beautiful thing.” Travis’s team looks forward to bringing the show to Long Island and sharing his music and life with many longtime fans. “We get to play at some of the neatest (theaters), which I think is kind of cool, because of Randy Travis and the nostalgia of Randy Travis, and the years he’s been here to raise a lot of us on his music,” Mary says, “and Westbury’s a perfect place for us to land over there in Long Island with you all.”

Powerful mural highlights famous women Before heading to the university of massachusetts, gabriela guizzo, a 2026 graduate of South Side High School in rockville Centre, stood beneath her 18-canvas mural, entitled “thirty-six Women Who made History,” a lasting tribute that combined her passions for art and history.

have been overlooked. The Rockville Centre resident began the project in May and completed the work around late July or early August, working both at school and at home. Rather than painting directly on the high school wall, she used individual canvas boards that could be transported and worked on separately. That approach, suggested by South Side ar t teacher Keith Gamache, allowed her to continue painting outside school and assemble the pieces into one mural. Gamache said his role was “almost like that of a coach,” helping keep the ambitious project manageable while allowing Guizzo room to pursue her vision. Even after she narrowed the list to 36 women, he worried whether she could complete the work before leaving for college, Gamache said. But she kept revising and refining the portraits rather than simply finishing them. “She wasn’t doing it at any point to get it done,” Gamache said. “She was doing it at all points for it to be the best thing that she could create.” The mural far exceeded the 30 hours required for an ASSESS project. Gamache said Guizzo continued working throughout the summer, even as prom and graduation approached, and eventually emailed him a photograph of all 36 completed portraits. Gamache said the mural, located on the second floor between Rooms 2302 and 2304 and measuring 30 inches tall by 84 inches wide, has drawn strong reactions since it was installed, even before the start of the new school year on Sept.

pal, praised Guizzo’s achievement and its lasting impact on the school. “We are so proud of Gabriela,” Walsh wrote in an email. “Over her time at South Side, she has demonstrated a commitment and excellence in the area of fine arts. Her mural is now something that students and staff will be able to enjoy long after her graduation from our school.” Now a history major at the University of Massachusetts, Guizzo said she is still trying to figure out how art will fit into her future career, but she’s determined to keep it part of her life. She plans to pursue art outside the classroom through clubs and other activities. For Guizzo, leaving the mural behind
feels fitting because South Side’s art and history departments were two of the areas that most shaped her high school years. “It definitely feels like that,” she said about leaving the mural as a present to the school. “Being able to channel that into this mural that’s going to be there ongoing, it definitely feels like my final gift.” Gamache said, given the chance, he would have done one thing differently as Guizzo’s mentor. “The thing that I’ve been telling people is I wish I had encouraged Gabby to make herself one of the 36 women as part of the mural,” he said, “because you could argue she belongs up there.”

A second floor was easier than a small addition
Q. Why is everything so complicated and expensive, just to build a small addition? It has been so frustrating interviewing builders, then needing an architect, then hearing that, even for our little addition, we might face a big delay to get a zoning variance. We just heard that we need something called a drywell, which makes this almost impossible because there really isn’t any place to put one. Do we really need one? Again, why is everything so complicated? When we added to our second floor in 1989, it was nothing like this. A. If you know the expressions “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing” and “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction,” you’ll understand that as time goes by, governing bodies respond to how someone seemed to find a way to twist the meaning of a requirement and manage to get away with something, so they react by making more and onte eeper more strict requirements. Some of those requirements result from the reaction to a catastrophe, such as Superstorm Sandy, that gets twisted back and forth from a tropical storm to a hurricane, depending on who wants to take advantage of the way regulations and insurances define the storm. One mile per hour in wind speed either way meant a difference in eligibility for more coverage, for example, so authorities and insurance companies wanted to close the loopholes. People all over Florida were suddenly hit with fees to cover building assessments after the collapse of the Champlain Towers condominium building in the Miami suburb of Surfside in 2021 — a response to one building. Members of the Surfside building board knew just enough to cause part of the problem but not enough to prevent it, which resulted in an avalanche of new, more restrictive requirements. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and in the case of overreacting regulators, increased regulations make planned projects more expensive and problematic. Your small project gets lumped together in the reaction to larger projects. People have been known to be sent to a zoning hearing because the proposed stone they want to add to the face of their home will mean that their front setback distance will fall below the required distance by 3 or 4 inches. Some municipalities have tried to relieve these zoning board bottlenecks by giving building officials discretion to bypass review boards when the proposal is simple, while others treat each case the same, so that your stone-facing proposal gets scrutinized alongside a proposed shopping center. Some zoning hearings are scheduled without consideration of your simple proposal, so when you get to the hearing, you may find yourself sitting for hours while a shopping center presentation goes ahead of your request. Drywells are deep, concrete-formed basins that collect rainwater on your property, and different communities have their own requirements. Some don’t require them. Others mandate that if you add 50 percent more roof or modify 50 percent of a building, you have to add a drywell. More next week.

opinions
s the effects of PFAS, the socalled “forever chemicals,” become the focus of discussions across the United States — on Long Island because of their impacts on the underground water table, our sole source of potable water — New York state’s attorney general is suing corporations involved with PFAS for allegedly violating a number of state laws. In a suit brought in July in State Supreme Court, Letitia James presented corporate documents as evidence that DuPont and other companies knew about PFAS’ threats to human health and the environment, but pushed products made with them anyway. And last month, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on Lee Zeldin, a Suffolk County resident who now heads the Environmental Protection Agency, to, as Newsday reported, take “steps to protect Long Island drinking water from forever chemicals as the agency proposes rollbacks on [their] regulations.” In addition to DuPont, which first developed PFAS in 1938 and patented
them as Teflon, James’s lawsuit charges 3M, Chemours, Corteva and its subsidiary EIDP with violations of state laws, including: “Protection of the State’s Natural Resources Under New York State Constitution and Statutory Law; Public Nuisance Under New York Common Law; Strict Products Liability: Failure to Warn Under New York Common Law.” It also cites the “Green Amendment” to the State Constitution, which “provides that ‘each person shall have a right to clean air and water and a healthful environment.’” The lawsuit states: “As a consequence of the defendants’ manufacture, production, marketing and sale of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — PFAS — for use in consumer products, the State of New York faces threats to human health, widespread contamination, and damage to natural resources on an unprecedented scale.” It continues: “Long after they knew their PFAS were toxic, defendants manufactured and sold these compounds for use in consumer products — including personal, family, and household products like Stainmaster carpets, Scotchgard stain-repellent sprays, grease-resistant coatings for food packaging, cosmetics, and personal care items — that defendants knew would be sold, used,
A
and disposed of in New York, thereby exposing people to PFAS and releasing PFAS into New York’s environment.” It goes on: “As the results of defendants’ conduct, PFAS … are in the water we drink, the soil that sustains our crops, the fish we catch, and the air we breathe. … PFAS are highly resistant to degradation in the environment, travel easily through water and air, and bioaccumulate in humans, plants and animals. And: “People exposed to defendants’ PFAS suffer various negative health effects, including higher risks of certain cancers, adverse pregnancy outcomes, liver disease, endocrine disruption, and other increased risks.” As evidence of “knowledge” — that the companies knew about the “severe health and environmental risks” of PFAS — the lawsuit points to numerous corporate documents. DuPont, it says, “knew for decades that PFAS pose substantial dangers to public health and the environment. By 1961 … Dupont’s researchers had concluded that PFOA [a type of PFAS] was toxic … Dupont’s chief toxicologist warned in a memo that products containing PFOA should be ‘handled with extreme care.’ As early as 1966 … DuPont was aware that PFOA could leach into groundwater. … DuPont
.G. Letitia James alleges that companies knew the chemicals’ dangers.
also learned in the 1970s … of the research showing that PFAS had been detected in blood bank samples from the general public. “In 1988,” the suit continues, “DuPont began internally treating PFOA as a possible carcinogen. … In 2000, John R. Bowman … DuPont inhouse counsel wrote … to several colleagues relating to PFOA …‘My gut tells me the biopersistence issue will kill us … We are going to spend millions to defend these lawsuits and have the additional threat of punitive damage.’” A New York Times article on the lawsuit quotes Judith Enck, former director of the EPA region that includes New York state and now president of the organization Beyond Plastics, saying, “This is a blockbuster legal action that should hold these companies accountable for the immense harm caused by their products.” Schumer wrote to Zeldin, “At your confirmation hearing … you told the Senate that you had been a member of the PFAS task force [in Congress], that you voted for the PFAS Action Act, and that addressing PFAS would be a top priority of yours. The proposals now before the agency move in the other direction.” Karl Grossman has been an investigative reporter in a variety of media for more than 50 years. He is a professor of journalism at the State University of New York at Old Westbury.
Celebrate Constitution Week by supporting the ERA
A
s a college professor who has long been involved in civic engagement programs and voter education at Nassau Community College, where I’ve taught for 23 years, I look forward to Constitution Week. From Sept. 17 to 23, educators around the country will teach students about the Constitution, their civic rights and responsibilities, and how their voices, and votes, count because they contribute to a stronger democracy for us all. This week, I’ll be focused not only on this bipartisan responsibility, but also on the November midterm elections — and on one of the most frustrating and misunderstood chapters of constitutional history, the saga of the Equal Rights Amendment. If you’re under the impression that equal rights for all citizens, regardless of sex, are the law of the land in the United States, you have plenty of company, but that’s not the case. Even though this landmark leg-
islation has been approved by both houses of Congress and by 38 states — the requisite three-quarters of the states necessary to ratify an amendment — it is still not part of the Constitution. How can this be, when Article V of the Constitution clearly explains the rules by which it can be amended, and Congress and state legislatures have satisfied those rules? The problem is the legislation’s time-limit loophole. In 1972, when both the House of Representatives and the Senate had passed the ERA, it faced a deadline imposed by Congress for the required ratification by the states — first seven years, then extended to 10 years. By the end of that decade, 35 states had approved the amendment, just three states short of what was needed. Its time was up — even if the deadline was nothing more than a provision added by Congress that could, and still can, be removed by a future Congress to move the legislation forward. When three more states ratified the amendment — Nevada (2017), Illinois (2018) and Virginia (2020) — that milestone
i
should have been enough to certify the Constitution’s 28th Amendment. But since then, the legislation has stalled in Congress: Opponents have relied on filibusters, pointing to the expired timeline, while advocates have called out the arbitrary nature of the deadline and argued for its revocation. The current national campaign for the ERA, backed by more than 300 organizations across the country and many thousands of people who have signed petitions supporting it, is making a persuasive case to the public — and candidates running for Congress this fall — that amendment requirements have been fulfilled and constitutional equality is long overdue. The nation observed Women’s Equality Day on Aug. 26, commemorating the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote in 1920. But even the fearless suffragist Alice Paul knew that voting rights were just the beginning of codifying gender equality in the nation’s laws; she knew that grave inequalities remained for women in politics, education, employment and health care.
f you think equal rights for all are enshrined in the Constitution, think again.
That’s why Paul introduced the ERA in 1923, and why gender-equality advocates have introduced it in every congressional session since. Over a century later, it’s time for the ERA to not only be reintroduced in Congress, but also enshrined in the Constitution — ideally by the 120th Congress, which will convene in January. I know that in November, I’ll be voting for candidates who support the work that Paul started — and that the late, great journalist Gloria Steinem continued with her bold exposés on sexual harassment, pay inequality and pregnancy discrimination in Ms. magazine. I’m grateful that my congressional representative, Laura Gillen, is one of 219 U.S. representatives, 53 senators, and all those citizen activists who have affirmed their support for the ERA. Please join this historic campaign, making it clear to our lawmakers that the equal rights movement won’t rest until a future Congress acts. Go to Sign4ERA. org and add your signature. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Constitution Week — and to make history — than that.

It’s time to update New York’s mansion tax
N
ew York lawmakers need to stop pretending that a $1 million home is a mansion. In 1989, when the state created a 1 percent tax on residential properties selling for $1 million or more, the threshold was intended to target luxury homeowners. At the time, it made sense. Thirty-seven years later, it doesn’t. A property on Long Island valued at $1 million back then now costs roughly $4.5 million. On Long Island, $1 million can buy a perfectly ordinary home. In Nassau County, the median home price is now around $880,000, and in Suffolk County, it’s roughly $750,000, both near historic highs. In communities where demand remains strong and inventory remains tight, a $1 million price tag is no longer an indication that someone is purchasing a sprawling estate. It may simply mean they’re buying a house. That’s why the State Legislature should make reforming the so-called mansion tax a priority in 2027. Five major Long Island business organizations — the Association for a Better Long Island, HIA-LI, the Long Island Builders Institute, the Long Island Association and the Long Island Contractors Association — have called for changes to the law. Their proposal deserves serious consideration.
The problem isn’t simply that the threshold is outdated. The structure of the tax is flawed. Once a home reaches $1 million, the additional 1 percent tax applies to the entire purchase price. A house selling for $999,999 doesn’t incur the tax. A house selling for $1 million does — an additional $10,000 charge. That is an illogical cliff. A buyer doesn’t suddenly become wealthy because a home’s sale price crosses an arbitrary line. And on Long Island, where housing costs have risen so dramatically, the tax increasingly falls on middle-class families rather than the ultra-wealthy buyers the law was designed to target. New York already collects a transfer tax on real estate transactions. The additional $10,000 on a $1 million purchase isn’t insignificant, particularly when buyers are already dealing with high mortgage costs, property taxes, insurance, maintenance and closing expenses. There is a legitimate argument for taxing luxury real estate. New York needs revenue, and those who can afford exceptionally expensive homes can reasonably be asked to contribute more. But that argument falls apart when the definition of luxury becomes disconnected from reality. The Legislature shouldn’t eliminate the mansion tax. It should modernize it.
First, lawmakers should substantially increase the threshold to reflect today’s housing market. Second, they should index that threshold to inflation or an appropriate measure of housing prices, so the law doesn’t become obsolete again. And third, they should seriously consider regional thresholds, because $1 million means something very different in Manhattan, Nassau County and upstate New York. The goal should be a tax that targets genuine luxury purchases — not families buying modest homes in one of the nation’s most expensive housing markets. The state cannot simultaneously complain about its high cost of living and defend a tax structure that adds thousands of dollars to the cost of buying a home simply because the housing market has appreciated. If New York wants more people to live, work and raise families here, it should be looking for ways to make homeownership more attainable, not preserving arbitrary barriers created nearly four decades ago. The Legislature has had plenty of time to reconsider the mansion tax. Now it should do so. In 1989, $1 million could make you the owner of a Long Island mansion. Today, it may simply make you a homeowner. New York’s tax policy should reflect that reality.
and progress reports. The last AUMF has been made a standing license for a series of costly and fruitless abuses over the past quarter-century. And we should not forget that 9/11 ended
the brief era of bipartisan fiscal responsibility between 1997 and 2000 in which we balanced the national budget. With the national debt now over $40 trillion, it seems there are errors to be corrected, and that we are not
letters Ways to meaningfully remember Sept. 11 To the Editor: How, the Herald asked in its editorial last week (“Twenty-five years later, we remember”), do we remember Sept. 11 in a meaningful way? One way, I suggest, is to learn from the mistakes made then to avoid repetition. It was novel attack, and the next will be as well, probably by drone, infection or massive infrastructure hack. The list of lessons is long. I’ll mention a few. Next time, the legislative branch should not surrender so much authority to the executive; the former still has not recovered. The distinction between criminal acts and acts of war was lost, and must be clarified lest it be abused again. It must be resolved that no war be declared against abstractions like “terror,” “radical Islam,” “antifa” or for “prevention,” for such amorphisms are easily dressed in new clothes. We have learned, I hope, that no future authorization of the use of military force should be granted without terms of use, including dates of expiration or renewal,

t sounds reasonable. Almost selfevident. And it has become a familiar response to concerns about increasingly aggressive government enforcement. Why worry about ICE? If you’re a citizen, if you’re here legally, what’s the problem? Why object to greater scrutiny of voter rolls? If you’re legally eligible to vote, you have nothing to fear. Except that isn’t how government power works. The statement assumes that only people who have done something wrong will ever be questioned, investigated, detained or frightened. Innocent people, apparently, will somehow be recognized as innocent before anyone bothers them. But being innocent doesn’t prevent the government from suspecting you of wrongdoing, or even arresting you. The government may target people not because they have committed a crime, but to make examples of them, intimidate others, or silence those they regard as troublesome or subversive. Sometimes suspicion begins with little more than how someone looks or speaks. And once you become a suspect, your innocence doesn’t protect you from
being stopped, questioned, searched, detained or required to prove who you are. Being innocent may determine how an encounter with government ends. It doesn’t guarantee that the encounter never begins. That matters as we approach the midterm elections. The Trump administration has undertaken an extraordinary effort to identify noncitizens who may have voted illegally. The justification is election integrity. According to the administration, illegal voting is at epidemic proportions. But the numbers tell another story. ProPublica recently examined the administration’s effort. Federal searches generated tens of thousands of potential leads involving suspected illegal voting. Homeland Security Investigations agents were sent out to pursue them. Between January 2025 and May 2026, just 41 people were charged with voting illegally or other election-related crimes. More than 150 million Americans voted in the last presidential election. Tens of thousands of leads. Forty-one charges. So perhaps the more important question isn’t what should happen to illegal voters. It is what’s going to happen to legal voters. What happens when an American citizen has a name that sounds “foreign”?

Letters economically ready for any future hostilities. The 9/11 Commission’s investigation found multiple points of failure, producing a homeland security conglomerate supposedly having greater unity and foresight. That agency, by many reports, has been distracted, diminished and diverted. If so, the nation has forgotten the most basic Boy Scout precept, “Be prepared.” We have heroes to honor, victims to mourn, survivors to grieve with because the criminals were more clever than we imagined. To meaningfully remember Se pt. 11, we should remember that connection, and make their memory a motive to make no more such heroes. BrIAN KEllY Rockville Centre
O’Shea Foundation recognizes Suicide Prevention Month To the Editor: September is National Suicide Pre-
What happens when an eligible voter speaks accented English, has brown skin, wears clothing associated with another culture, or simply worries that a government database may contain incorrect information? Those voters may have done absolutely nothing wrong, but they still have plenty to worry about. The concern becomes more serious when immigration enforcement moves from voter records to polling places. President Trump was asked whether he would send National Guard troops or ICE officers to polling locations during the midterms. His answer was that he would “do anything necessary to make sure we have honest elections.” But federal law sharply restricts such activity. The Brennan Center for Justice notes that federal law prohibits armed federal agents from being deployed to election sites, and prohibits government officials from intimidating voters. The reality, however, is that ICE agents need never appear inside a single polling place to make voters fear for their freedom and safety. Imagine that you’re a naturalized citizen. Or that your parents are immigrants. Or that someone in your household has unresolved immigration issues. You hear repeatedly that ICE may be involved in election enforcement, and that federal agents are exam-
vention Month, and the board of the ryan Patrick O’Shea Foundation wants our community to know that we recognize this month with a renewed commitment to raising awareness, reducing stigma and connecting people with the support they need. Suicide affects families and comm u n i t i e s eve r y wh e re, o f t e n i n silence. Our foundation was created to help change that — to make sure no one facing a crisis feels alone, and that friends and family know how to recognize warning signs and offer help. This month, we encourage our neighbors to check in on loved ones, learn the signs that someone is in crisis and share that help is always available. Anyone struggling can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis lifeline any time, day or night. We are grateful for this community’s continued support of our mission, and we hope this September serves as a reminder that hope and help are always within reach.

ining voter files. You see news reports about investigations of suspected noncitizen voters. On Election Day, do you vote? Or do you decide that one vote isn’t worth the possibility of attracting attention, or being wrongfully arrested even if you’re 100 percent eligible to vote? That’s what makes the nothing-toworry-about argument so dangerous. It reverses the relationship between citizens and their government. It means that government may scrutinize, investigate and intimidate whomever it wishes, and innocent people should simply trust that everything will eventually work out. That isn’t freedom. A right doesn’t disappear only when the government formally takes it away. It can also be weakened, or effectively eliminated, when exercising it feels dangerous. A government doesn’t have to prevent someone from voting if it can make that person afraid to vote. “If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to worry about.” Maybe so. But in a free country, citizens shouldn’t have to prove their innocence before they can exercise their rights without fear. Government should exercise its power without making innocent people afraid to exercise theirs.
