This week we officially broke ground on the long-awaited Westbury Avenue revitalization project in Carle Place!

This project has been a long time coming, and I’m thrilled to see it finally become a reality. The improvements will include new paving, sidewalks, landscaping and lighting, creating a safer, more attractive and welcoming Westbury Avenue for our residents, businesses and visitors.

I’m grateful to the Biden Administration for providing the American Rescue Plan funding that helped make this important investment possible.

This project builds upon the improvements we’ve already made in Carle Place, including the façade upgrades along Westbury Avenue, improvements to Fuschillo Park and the 8th Street ball field. I also want to recognize former Supervisor Judi Bosworth and Legislator Viviana Russell for their vision and partnership in advancing the façade program and investment in Fuschillo Park.
It was exciting to stand together today and mark th
e beginning of the next chapter for Westbury Avenue. I can’t wait to see the transformation!

Last night’s National Night Out at Martin “Bunky” Reid Park was a wonderful celebration of community, connection, and the partnerships that help make Westbury such a special place to live.

Families, neighbors, first responders, and community organizations came together for an evening filled with fun, food, entertainment, and activities for all ages. More importantly, it was an opportunity to build relationships, strengthen trust, and bring our community closer together.

Thank you to everyone who came out, and to all of the volunteers, organizations, and first responders who helped make the evening a great success. Events like National Night Out remind us that strong communities are built when we come together.

Yesterday’s grand opening of the pickleball courts at Bunky Reid Park was a spirited, fun-filled and high energy event. Beginners received lessons from the African-American Pickleball Association, more experienced players showed off their skills and attendees from 10 to 80 got a good laugh watching me and local leaders, including Senator Bynoe, Legislator Russell, Suoervisor Jennifer DeSena, Councilmember Christine Liu, Westbury Village Trustees Beaumont Jefferson and Pedro Quintanilla, Westbury School Trustees Robin Bolling and Mateo Flores, Westbury Water Commissioner Kelby Then, and Jericho Fire Chief Randall Richardson as well as Bishop Lionel Harvey and Father Eddie do our best not to embarrass ourselves. It is my hope the courts become a destination for residents to connect with neighbors, make new friends and engage in a fun way to exercise. The park is open from 7 - 9:45 everyday during the summer and into the fall.
The occasion also allowed us to pay tribute to Bunky Reid, who the park is named for. Bunky, like many New Cassel youth, grew up in the park. Fifty years ago this September Bunky returned from college to teach in Westbury. Three years later he was coaching the Boys Varsity Basketball team which he took to and won the NYS Championship with in 1985. Bunky was a role model and mentor to all the young people he came into contact with. Unfortunately, he succumbed to cancer in 1993. Because of his contributions to the Westbury/New Cassel community, the park was named in his honor. As a sports enthusiast, Bunky would appreciate this latest addition to his park.
We were blessed that Bunky’s mom, Julia Reid, was able to join us for yesterday’s festivities despite just being recently released from the hospital after separating a shoulder from a fall in her home. We look forward to her full recovery. She remains a woman of great strength, dignity and character. My heart is warmed anytime I am in her presence.

Get ready to serve, rally, and have some fun! Join the Town of North Hempstead for the Grand Opening of the brand-new pickleball courts at Martin "Bunky" Reid Park on Saturday, July 18, at 9:30 a.m.

Celebrate the park's newest amenity with lessons and demonstrations, a fun mini tournament featuring elected, civic, and religious leaders, and open play for all ages and skill levels. Paddles and balls will be provided, making it the perfect opportunity to try one of the nation's fastest-growing sports.

I hope you'll join us to play pickleball, but even if you don't play (we are giving lessons), you may want to come out to laugh at me on the court embarassing myself playing against Senator Siela Bynoe, Legislator Viviana Russel and a host of others.

To register, call (516) 869-7701. We hope to see you there!

I hope you will join me for a celebration of Haitian Flag Day this

Sunday, May 17. It will be a celebration of the day (May 18) in 1804 when The Republic of Haiti earned its independence from France and flew its flag for the first time. It has as much significance to Haiti and Haitians around the world as the Fourth of July has to the United States and Americans.

As we get ready to celebrate our 250th anniversary of our county’s founding, let’s recognize Haiti’s historic contributions to the global struggle for liberation as the only enslaved people to successfully revolt and win their independence, as the first country in the Western Hemisphere to abolish slavery and for fighting alongside the Patriots against the British in the American Revolution.

The weather forecast on Sunday is for a cloudless, sun-filled day. Join me for an afternoon and evening filled with live music, dance, entertainment, and family fun as we come together to honor Haitian culture and heritage.

Over the last thirty years, I have been sworn-in to elected positions from school board to the Town Council to the County Legislature. Yesterday’s swearing-in to the North Hempstead Town Council was my 15th. They are joyous occasions. But they are also serious, and solemn events where elected officials publicly swear to serve the people to the best of their ability. Yesterday I renewed my commitment to my residents to do everything I can to make a difference in their lives. Thank you for your support!

Brian Thomas, a devoted husband and father of two young girls, is in urgent need of a kidney donor. Brian is very clear about his situation saying, “If I don’t get that kidney, I won’t be here. I’m going to die.”
Brian is bravely battling collapsing FSGS, a rare but severe and aggressive form of kidney disease.
“Thirteen months ago, I was told I could be in complete kidney failure in 6 to 12 months,” said Thomas. “We are in the 9th inning now.”
Twice in the last year, Brian, his wife Tamara, their 3 year old daughter, Ayanna, and her 2 year old sister, Savanna, thought a suitable donor had been found only to have their hopes dashed at the last minute. But they aren’t giving up. And we can’t either.
Let’s help find a kidney for Brian!
You can help raise awareness about Brian’s story by sharing this newsletter with anyone and everyone you can.
And to explore becoming a donor yourself, please visit the website at kidney4BT.com, contact the family directly at [email protected], or contact the transplant coordinator: Ms. Castro at (215) 273-5074
