Farmedge Resolved Gallow lease puts kibosh on development By DANIEL OFFNER

After plans to develop senior housing on the 11.3 acres of school district property fell through, members of the Island Trees School Board of Education met to discuss a new lease agreement for the Geneva N. Gallow school building. According to Island Trees Superintendent Dr. Charles Murphy, proposals for the development of 160 to 247 condominium units for seniors over 55 years old were tossed aside

VETERAN SPOTLIGHT

U.S. Army Veteran James Boyle, 86, of Levittown served five years of active service, making three trips overseas during both World War II and the Korean War. Despite never seeing combat, he remembers witnessing first-hand the repercussions of wartime. Serving a non-combative role, working as a radio technician, Boyle still recalls marching with his troop in the

aftermath of a battle on the streets of Munich during his first tour of duty. “There wasn’t a [single] building left on the sides of the street,” Boyle said, remembering the aroma in the air. Boyle enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1946 with the hopes of serving as a paratrooper. However, with the war dwindling, the U.S. Army was no longer taking any more paratroopers. So, he accepted an assignment to the 11th Engineer

Council Talks PSEG When the Pubic Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) took over Long Island power operations in January of 2014 after what many perceived as one folly after another on the part of the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA)—culminating, of course, with their chastised performance during Superstorm Sandy in 2012—Long Islanders held their collective breath, hoping that the new guard would be an improvement over the old. However, even the best-run operations need time to dig in their feet and push, and while PSEG does their best to shoulder the great task of providing power to 1.1 million customers in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens, it stands to reason that New York State would be keeping a watchful eye over them. At the June meeting of the Levittown Community Council, CoPresident Tom Kohlman welcomed consumer program specialist Anna Senatore with the state Department of Public Service—the agency tasked with providing oversight to PSEG’s operations—who told local residents that her department’s priority is make sure that their customers are treated right; something many didn’t feel under LIPA’s regime. According to Senatore, the LIPA Reform Act, which was signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo in 2013,

GC Tech Students Complete Program of Study The applause and well-wishes of administrators, faculty and family resonated throughout the auditorium at Wisdom Lane Middle School as 183 students received their certificates of completion from the Levittown School District’s Gerald R. Claps Career and Technical Center program on June 10. In her opening remarks, Principal Joan Lorelli told the students that she is humbled to be their principal. She also explained that GC Tech is at the forefront of offering both college-ready and employment certification. “The world of work is the endpoint for all of our students,” she said. “Thanks for shining a spotlight on career and technical education.” During the student address to the Class of 2014, SkillsUSA President Jessica Zager thanked the teachers and administration for their support. “It takes a team to graduate,” she said to her graduating peers. “It all comes down to help, so let’s remember to help others and take advantage of the skills our teachers taught us.” Student awards and scholarships were bestowed upon many of the graduates. Outstanding students also received commendations, including: Matthew Barbaro, electrical technology; Nicholas Castaldo, culinary arts; Amanda Esbin, cosmetology; Tyler Falcone, carpentry; Bridget Glennon, medical assisting; Philip Liotta, police

science/EMT-B; Steven Lombardo, automotive technology; Alexander Perez, automotive technology; Veronica Rader, cosmetology; Steven Sculco, architectural drafting; Tyler Smith, graphic arts; and Julia Vargas, computer animation. The following graduates also received Class of 2014 Senior Awards. • Teachers’ Choice Award: Victoria Antonacci • Town of Hempstead Academic Excellence and Volunteer Achievement Award: Bridget Glennon • Key Club Scholarship: Shianne Comodo, Emilie d’Hedouville, Nicole Giacinto, Bridget Glennon, Charmy Patel and Brittany Trotter. • Sal Navarino Scholarship: Steven Lombardo and Daniel Thorburn. • National Technical Honor Society Scholarship: Victoria Antonacci, David Colletti, Kiersten Gaertner and Victoria Jimenez. • SkillsUSA Scholarship: Nicholas Castaldo, David Colletti, Patricia Hastings, Helen Lopez and Lawrence Yip. The students were then called individually to the stage one by one to receive their certificates.

outage management system that will provide a more accurate time of restoration, and a new interactive voice response system to reduce the wait time on the phone as well,” she said. “We will also review proposed capital expenditure plans as well as proposed rate hikes, and if a rate hike is proposed, PSEG must hold a public meeting to get feedback on it.” The department will also perform annual reviews to offer suggestions for PSEG infrastructural improvements to ensure reliability and meet new demands. “These reviews will help us to identify whether PSEG’s performance entitles them to certain performance financial incentives, or if improvements are needed,” Senatore continued. Overall, Senatore said that the relationship between the Department of Public Service and PSEG will be fine-tuned to bring their customers the very best service possible. “Our goal is to ensure that Long Island receives the same level of oversight as the rest of New York State,” she said. “We’re also working on developing more educational material on a variety of utility topics.”

establishes a Long Island branch of the public service department, which is designed to assist and protect utility customers while providing oversight and review of utilities, including electric, natural gas, stream, water, and telecommunications. Senatore said that if a customer has issues with their electrical service, she urged them to first contact PSEG and attempt to work it out; however, if that avenue is not successful, she said that the customer can contact the public service department and lodge a complaint. From there, the department will look into the matter and take appropriate action where needed. One area that former LIPA customers are likely still smarting over is their reaction—or rather, the perceived lack thereof—to the vast amount of power outages wrought by Superstorm Sandy. Under her agency’s watch, Senatore said that new programs are being put into place to improve that misconception. “PSEG will be installing a new

Senator Hannon is standing up for caregivers. AARP New York thanks Senator Kemp Hannon for introducing the CARE Act (S.7676) to help the millions of New Yorkers who are caring for an aging parent or loved one. Working together, we can get this important legislation signed into law. Family caregivers have a huge responsibility. The CARE Act would help by making sure caregivers are recognized when their loved ones go into the hospital, and that they have the training and resources they need to safely help seniors stay at home.

FARMEDGE from page 1 when the board voted, on June 25, to approve a four-year lease agreement with the Syosset-based Variety Child Learning Center, a not-for-profit learning center providing special education and support services for students with developmental and learning disabilities. “I think this puts [the proposal] to rest for the distant future,” Murphy said. The aforementioned proposal first emerged after 2010, when Nassau County BOCES announced it would be dropping its lease on the Gallow school. Since then, the district had been looking for a new tenant, to no avail. Citing a potential loss in revenue of over $200,000, school officials issued a request for proposal, last year, which resulted in the proposed

Bad mistake.” Boyle was reactivated two more times—once more from 1948-1949 and then again from 1950-1952. In the interim, between serving in both WWII and Korea, Boyle would get a bit of a reprieve. Under the G.I. Bill, Boyle enrolled in classes for radio and television, where he learned much of what he needed to be prepared for his assignment in Korea. Unfortunately, due to

development of senior housing on the site. However, in February, over 500 residents in the district gathered at the high school to share concerns on the bid winning proposal. In response to the public outcry school officials said they would go back to the drawing board, reexamining the project with a committee of community stakeholders. Now, the district has changed direction, agreeing to rent the Geneva N. Gallow building for $100,000 plus utilities for the first year, with the price set to increase by $50,000 annually. According to Murphy, the Variety Child Learning Center has agreed to take responsibility for the utilities and small maintenance costs needed for their day-to-day operations. The district can expect to receive over $700,000 in revenue, over the term of the lease.

In a letter to the Island Trees School community, District Superintendent Dr. Charles Murphy informed parents to allegations of a verbal threat made by one of the students at the high school. “As per our standard protocol, we immediately reported the allegation to the Nassau County Police Department,” Murphy states. “Fittingly, the police took immediate action by meeting with witnesses and then later bringing the student in question to the precinct for a detailed interview.” According to police, officers arrested the juvenile in question, on June 15. After being brought in for questioning, the unidentified teen

was ultimately released into her parents’ custody. As a result, the student was suspended from school for her inappropriate conduct. “Please be aware that the student is not in school, and if found guilty of such an action, will also be subject to the disciplinary measures outlined in New York State education law,” the letter continues. “Please be assured the school district will continue to take proactive safety measures to ensure the health, safety and welfare of all of our students and staff.” Due to the age and nature of the crime, Nassau County Public Information Officers could not release the identity of the suspects. School district officials would not provide further comment.

an agreement that Boyle signed with the U.S. Government, some of his work for the U.S. Army is still classified. “Some stuff, even today, I can’t talk about,” Boyle said. Working with ultra-high frequency radar equipment, Boyle said he worked on special frequencies that were restrictive to enemy forces. As a technician, he would rebuild radio receivers, walkie-talkies, and radio transmitters. “Compared to today’s [technology], it was like working on a Model T Ford,” he joked. Returning from war—this time for good—Boyle would remain in

Brooklyn until 1959, when he would get married and move with his wife Madeline to their new home in Levittown. Settling in Levittown, Boyle and his wife would have six children, 13 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Although, Boyle would stay away from the American Legion Post #1711 for quite some time following his time in the service. He would eventually join in 1964. “The Legion has done a lot of good work,” Boyle said. Among the many programs offered by the Legion, Boyle said he enjoys the scholarship program most. He said it originated

as a program to help put nurses-in-training through college. Today, it has evolved to give Levittown students an opportunity to attend college. Looking back at the many changes in the community over the past forty-plus years, Boyle said that so much has changed since he first left Brooklyn. He remembers how there used to be a Woolworth’s in the center of town, where he and his wife would go to buy stuff for their children. “Some people say it’s turned into a slum,” said Boyle, “I wish they were here to see it now… [I still think] it’s the best town in Nassau County.”

Physical Therapy And Ankle Sprains by John G. Fox, P.T., M.A., C.W.T

AQUATIC THERAPY

Ankle sprains are the most common sports injury. It is estimated that more than 30,000 Americans suffer an ankle sprain each day. Moreover, it isn’t unusual for this injury to happen more than once to an individual. A recent report that reviewed current research on ankle sprain rehabilitation provides us with the “best practices” for this common injury. Early intervention typically focuses on pain relief, restoration of range of motion, recovery of proprioception (the ability to sense joint position, acceleration, and deceleration), and return to functional activities.

THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE

Phase I: This phase should start immediately. This phase involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation with casting for only the most severe cases. Physical therapy often includes ultrasound and LASER to facilitate healing and electrical stimulation to control pain and swelling. Phase II: recovery of range of motion and return to full weight bearing as soon as possible. Physical therapists often use joint mobilization techniques to help recover in this phase. Phase III: This phase begins when the patient can tolerate full weight bearing. Muscle strengthening and proprioceptive training are the focus of this phase. Proprioception is one’s ability to sense position, acceleration, and/or deceleration of the joints of the body. Phase IV: Functional training including jumping, cutting, sprinting, and endurance training. Physical therapists often assist patients with the controlled and progressive return to sport. Bracing is often recommended (especially taping) to decrease the chance of re-injury. To summarize, early intervention and proprioception exercises are critical components of the rehabilitation process. Exercise variety and training of patients on disks and balance boards along with taping seem to be practical methods of restoring ROM and return to activities.

Sisters Graduate With Perfect Attendance BY STEPHANIE CHU-O’NEIL

levittown@antonnews.com

Levittown sisters Miranda Pedroza, a Division Avenue High School Class of 2014 graduate and Jessica Pedroza, a Wisdom Lane Middle School grad, both of, have not missed a day of school since kindergarten... that’s right, since kindergarten. As every parent knows it can be very difficult for a child to have perfect attendance during just one school year. However, for parents Diane and Danny Pedroza, their children have exceeded their expectations. From an early age both Miranda and Jessica have loved school and have maintained the positive attitude and healthy habits that have enabled them to miss not one day of school. During the school year, in addition to maintaining high grades, Miranda also played varsity soccer for both Division and the East Meadow Storm. She actually did have some broken bones due to sports injuries on the field, but not being one to overly nurse a wound, she still went to school. Apart from helping watch her nine year old brother Dylan and being a typical mall-loving teenager, Miranda works part-time as a Park Ranger for

Norman J. Levy Park and Preserve. When asked how hard it was, she replied that she actually didn’t think it was that difficult, except for days like “Senior Cut Out Day”, when she laughed to herself and said “What am I doing here? There’s nothing to do.” Jessica, also a child that has maintained high grades and endured broken bones by playing soccer with Wisdom Lane Middle School and the Farmingdale Extreme, has also never been marked absent. Apart from soccer, she also plays lacrosse and basketball. Her extracurricular activities also include modern and hip-hop dance and fundraising efforts for many charitable events, including the Special Olympics Polar Plunge where she spearheaded a group that raised over three thousand dollars. When asked about how she was able to do it Jessica said she thinks eating a lot of fruits and vegetables kept her healthy and also she was happy to go to school so as she said “I can hang out with all my friends.” A mother of four, Mrs. Pedroza said that her daughters’ perfect attendance might have started with her encouragement years ago, but that it hasn’t been that way for quite a while. “Now they wake themselves up and hop on the bus all on their own.”

In the fall, Miranda will be continuing on to Farmingdale State College and is hoping to eventually becoming a teacher. Meanwhile, Jessica will be moving on to Division Avenue

High School. Wherever their roads lead them, it seems certain that their healthy lifestyle and solid work ethic will surely bring them great success in whatever they put their minds to.

Adelphi Breast Cancer Team Walks the Walk Monica Sarosi and Carol Taraci of Levittown walked 13.1 miles to raise money to support breast cancer organizations on Long Island. Sarosi and Taraci participated in the LI2DAY Walk as a member of the team of the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program, an organization that has provided emotional support and counseling to breast cancer patients and their families for 34 years. Half-marathon walk started and ended at Smith Point Beach in Shirley, with nearly 600 participants, including many breast cancer survivors. In 10 years LI2Day has raised over five millions dollars, funding local programs such as the Adelphi Hotline, awarding a yearly breast cancer research grant to Cold Spring Harbor Lab and providing scholarships to 54 students. For information about LI2DAY, visit li2daywalk.com. To reach the Adelphi Breast Cancer Hotline, call 800-877-8077: you are not alone.

| EDITORIAL Summer Starts When The Sky Is Lit While June 21 is considered the official start of summer, the real fun doesn’t kick off until bottle rockets, firecrackers, roman candles, sparklers and jumping jacks are lighting the night sky on July 4th, honoring the adoption of the Declaration of Independence 238 years ago. Rarely does it rain on July 4th (we’re having a hard time remembering when it did), which makes the night that much more sweet. You can step out your door and find a fireworks celebration almost anywhere in Nassau County.

Sitting in a lawn chair at Memorial Park in Mineola for the concert series and fireworks show (this year it’s on July 11) marks a time-honored tradition of lounging around, forgetting about the work week ahead. The cotton candy and toy cart makes its way around the perimeter of the park, while the Good Humor and Mister Softee trucks sit nearby, giving the kids a bridge between the music and firework-filled sky. The Nassau Pops put on quite a show each year. From kid smiles to adult “aaahhs,” Independence Day pushes families towards the heart of summer, one pop and sizzle at a time.

| LETTER TO THE EDITOR A Real Court Jester Is Kimba Woods a Judge — or a joke? Queen Kimba recently gave a convicted 60-year-old thief 39 years to pay back the $300,567 in disability pension benefits that he virtually stole by faking a Long Island Rail Road

disability. It’s bad enough that she’s only asking him to pay back $700 a month; but this is on top of her recent sentencing of another LIRR fraudster to pay back the $300,000 he stole at a mere $25 a month — meaning that it would theoretically take him 982(!) years (even though, according to the

Bible, Methusaleh himself only made it to 969-years-old). This “sentence” would be funny if it wasn’t so sad for society and the rule of law. I’d like to point out to Judge Woods (whom I’d like to sentence for judicial malpractice in my own Court of Common Sense) that the dictionary defines

a “judge” as “someone capable of making rational and wise decisions.” These recent decisions of hers could make even the famous iron statue of Lady Justice cry tears of shame underneath her blindfold. Richard Siegelman

Gallow Gets A New Lease Last year, Nassau BOCES decided to close their special education preschool program at the Geneva N. Gallow School on Farmedge Road. For 20 years, up until this year, Island Trees enjoyed our relationship with the Nassau BOCES Early Childhood Center. After all, the Gallow School was occupied and used in a very positive manner: to educate children. Naturally, the district was disappointed to lose this tenant, as well as the programs and services BOCES offered to Nassau County children. Happily, we’re able to report that the district has found a new tenant for the Geneva N. Gallow School. On Wednesday, June 25, 2014, Variety Child Learning Center

Island Trees Superintendent Of Schools

DR. CHARLES MURPHY entered into a lease agreement for the Geneva N. Gallow School. Variety Child Learning Center has provided special education and support services to Nassau County children and families for over 40 years. Variety intends to expand their successful Syosset-based school

programs at Gallow. Fittingly, Variety Child Learning Center will utilize the school campus in the very manner intended when it was built in 1953. Although the district explored other options for the Farmedge

property, we never stopped seeking an occupant for Gallow. Fortunately, we found a tenant with an excellent reputation, one that hopes to build a long-lasting relationship with our school community.

SALUTE TO VETERANS AN ANTON COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT • JULY 2 - 8, 2014

My Grandfather’s Last Thoughts Editor’s note: Michael Pevsner of Massapequa Park recently earned first place in Anton Community Newspapers and Cockpit USA’s essay contest about military heroes. Pevsner submitted the following essay about his grandfather, Private First Class Harold Hibler, who served in WWII, in the Army’s 101st Infantry. Hibler was a survivor of the Battle of the Bulge and received a Purple Heart for his actions. Hibler was discharged in 1945. He passed away on Aug. 23, 2008. My grandfather’s last thoughts could have been...of shrieking bullets overhead and seeing his young comrades so alive one moment, covered in blood the next during the Battle of the Bulge. It could have been leaving school at so early an age, taking any job to earn what wages he could to support his family during the Great Depression. It could have been of his private war with heart disease, finally succumbing after a valiant struggle. I hope, however, that my grandfather’s last thoughts were of the family he created and the loving legacy he left us all. Harold Hibler, PFC, was a man of integrity, hard work, and thrift. A decorated war hero who survived the Battle of the Bulge, went on to work his entire life, and still found time for his family. A man whose biggest desire in the world was to see his children and grandchildren receive the education that he did not have the chance to get, and to see them benefit from his lifetime of dedicated work. One who is remembered as a role model, a man whom I am proud to call my grandfather. One of my grandfather’s core values was hard work. As a child of the Depression, and a man who constantly worked from the age of 18, until he was 83, at jobs ranging from selling papers in the streets of Brooklyn, to owning a gas station supply shop in Queens. He held a serious work ethic in the highest regard, and that was not lost on me. He encouraged me to challenge myself and not waste a moment, goals I am reaching now by maintaining grades in four AP classes, working two jobs, and devoting countless hours of my time to my school’s Key Club; organizing events, collecting money for UNICEF, ringing the Salvation Army bell in December and running my

school’s Key Club website. All of these things gave my grandfather pride in me, and continue to give me pride in myself. My grandfather took me to work with him in Queens all of the time; more recently, he congratulated me on my first official job, at Massapequa News. Shortly after that, he called me from the hospital, while he had his own matters to deal with, to congratulate me on getting yet another job, at CVS. The last material object I showed my grandfather was my first pay stub from CVS. Never have I seen anyone smile as brightly. Another virtue my grandfather bestowed upon me was that of prudence. Again, as he was a child of the Depression-era, waste was not tolerable in his house. He firmly believed that one man’s refuse was another’s treasure, and on my own scavenger hunts through his basement, I have found vintage designer clothes, license plates, car parts, tools and even a portable record player, most of which he saved from the misfortune of spending eternity in a landfill. He was more resourceful than a Hollywood spy, and I inherited that sense. I have always followed after him in being careful not to throw away something that can be useful a second time, especially if that something can bring back memories or be resold as a collectible. One of my hobbies is collecting sneakers; my grandfather always wanted to see me sell a pair of rare sneakers for more than what I paid. Looking now at the values of some sneakers that I have accumulated, if I had the heart to part with a pair, I could do just that, turn my sneaker collection into an investment. Beyond that, among my most treasured possessions are random little journals and notebooks that my grandfather got as souvenirs from stores, business contacts, and promotions, each signed “love always”, that now house both memories of him and my written words spanning from the moment I was able to write, to present day. My grandfather was, and still is, a role model. The things I hold closest to my heart are the wealth of memories I have of him and the lessons and characteristics he passed on to me.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

WORD FIND Try r your luck ry

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s so much going on this week that you may feel as though maintaining your possessions just takes too much of your time. Do it anyway. Neat and clean environs reinforce the mindset that you’ve got your act together. Your responsible attitude makes you attractive and successful.

Solution: 9 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your fantasy life is strong, and you could spend a good deal of energy building castles in the air. You can’t live in them, but some of the ideas are practical enough to apply once you touch back down to Earth. A healthy balance means allowing yourself to dream but commanding yourself to take practical steps, as well. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This week shows you in an ambitious mood, and you’ll require much of yourself. Of course, it’s difficult to make big things happen if you are distracted by every enticement along the way. Because you’re after the larger experiences of life, you feel the need to bring your lower appetites into control. CANCER (June 22-July 22). This week you have something that really needs to be accomplished and a message to match the task. There will be no such thing as over-communicating it. To keep yourself and everyone around you on purpose, repeat yourself often. Find new ways to say it. With constant communication, you will get there.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Empowering talk leads to exciting developments in a relationship. Things really are getting better. Practice describing your experience, feelings and needs. Avoid claiming that another person is “driving you crazy” or “making you mad.” The more responsibility you can take for your own state the better off you’ll be. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The mightiest warrior knows that battling isn’t the only way to victory. Some of the best victories are handed over. Negotiation would be better in this week’s case, but if you must go to the mat, offer your opponent nothing to resist, and there won’t be much of a fight. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll gladly deliver good news. As for the bad news, you might leave it for someone else to tell — or not — hoping that by ignoring it, depriving it of your breath and attention, it will somehow disappear. Sometimes this method works! At least if you focus yourself on the positive there will be far less room for the negative. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll have a knack for speaking in the vernacular most appropriate to your company this week, and you’ll be around many types. There is a Malayan proverb that goes, “Trumpet in a herd of elephants; crow in the company of cocks; bleat in a flock of goats.” You’ll do it all! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The way you feel about a loved one is similar to the way you feel about music. You know there is meaning there, but the meaning is beyond words. Go ahead and try putting it into words anyway. Your loved one will benefit from knowing that your affections run deep. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re on the fast track. Creativity is flowing, and your social network is growing. Pretty soon you won’t be able to tell the difference between your business relationships and your social relationships. Pool resources with family, colleagues and friends. You’ll get there faster getting there together. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may feel somewhat depleted at the start of the week, but don’t worry. The well of joy inside you hasn’t dried up; it’s just that you can’t reach it with a broken rope. New tools are needed. Where will you find them? Almost anywhere you look. Your intention to be happy will lead to many fortuitous discoveries.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS Before you make any radical changes, ask yourself, “Is this something I can do for the rest of my life?” Permanent changes will be life enhancing, while committing to something short term will be more effort than it’s worth. An August business endeavor is a win as long as you don’t break your own investment rules. October brings a fortuitous meeting, and romance will sweep into your life. January endeavors require heart, faith and sweat, but they will be some of your best times this year. COPYRIGHT 2014 CREATORS.COM

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are devoted and true, and yet there is something inside you that is weary from doing the right thing. Being good doesn’t always feel good. You’ll start to wonder whether there’s such a thing as being too good. The malaise you feel is a sign that you need a break. Demand less of yourself this week.

Arnold Standard represents you before the NYS Workers' Compensation Board and/or US and NYS Department of Labor, to settle penalties which have been imposed --- for a fraction of the original amounts. Our work also includes performing a review of the circumstances prior to lodging the correct appeal. We achieve closure at the local level WITHOUT referral for FICA correction. Our initial consultation with you is conducted without any charge. New York State is going back up to SIX YEARS & assessing major penalties for the above subjects. This happens when you have classiﬁed people as Independent Contractors & individuals have been treated as self-employed, or there has been a lapse in coverage. Frequently, there are minimum wage and/or overtime considerations because of time and attendance record keeping errors. We manage the entire process from ﬁeld audit through the appeal phase with the Department. Our record in this area is excellent, and there is no upfront cost, because we are only paid after we save you money.

A fellow in his late 50s, a successful salesman in the medical-equipment field, stopped by my office recently to discuss addiction. He has been reading my columns on the topic, and wanted to share some thoughts. He is an alcoholic who has been sober for several decades, and now works with others trying to beat addictions, most commonly, heroin. “The story is always the same,” he said, nodding his head knowingly. “Always the same.” By that, he means how people become addicts to substances ranging from alcohol to opiates and what they do to deny it, hide it and ultimately get in deeper and deeper. Listen to the stories of addicts, he said, and whether it’s a Hollywood star who gulps Grey Goose from a water bottle or a suburban kid copping oxycontin out of medicine cabinets, the trajectory of the tragedy is always the same. Then, there comes a point where some addicts get clean and many don’t. Here, all of the stories aren’t the same. Sometimes, with luck, the parents can step in, and after trying everything, try yet something else. And it works. Add in support from people like my sober salesman, and the story doesn’t have to end in tears. Here’s one such story from a local mom: As a parent of a heroin addict, I have been following with great interest your series on addiction. The disease of addiction is very insidious. It starts out slowly and then takes over every facet of the addict’s life and the family’s life as well. Our family went through many years of pain and suffering. I don’t think that words can describe the helplessness that one feels as they watch a loved one self-destruct. As a family unit we went to all of the family components of every rehab that my child was involved in—the words can be helpful, but if the actions of the addict don’t change, you still have that feeling of helplessness. Unfortunately, our society looks at addiction as if it should be controlled by the addict—as if they can willingly just turn off that switch that makes them use and become healed. People you think of as friends don’t give you the same comfort they would were your child suffering from cancer, diabetes or any other disease. “You, the addict, should fix it yourself.” Our insurance companies think that patients should be cured after

the

JOHN OWENS three or four days of detox. They won’t pay for extended care, and unless the family has thousands and thousands of dollars to pay for their loved one’s care, with no guarantee of a cure, you are on your own. There is a twofold problem with most of the rehab facilities in the New York: They all seem primarily concerned about the financial aspect of the case, and most of the programs are rather punitive in nature. After a particularly bad run, I took my son to a facility in North Palm Beach, Fla. Their whole approach to the addict is so different from anything I have seen in New York. They are genuinely concerned with the addict’s recovery. The clients live in an apartment and are responsible for taking care of cooking, cleaning and such. In addition to therapy sessions, they go to outside Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and are encouraged to get a sponsor. They have an opportunity to meet many sober people. They also do extracurricular activities, such as going to the gym, movies and bowling. They get to see and live a sober life. This can only be accomplished with the client’s willingness to do step work and participate in these groups. After 90 days there, my son came home a changed person. He is actively involved in AA, this includes working the steps. He has made many new sober friends. He is now clean almost eight months. I applaud your efforts to bring attention to this terrible disease. I want to let people know that there can be a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you. This is a story worth sharing. Any other readers who have a story to share, please email it to me. Your insights and experiences are important. And your anonymity is assured.

Leaf Blower Flap Isn’t Just About Noise For over 40 years, gas-powered leaf blowers have been a focal point for irritation and frustration over neighborhood noise. The issue is percolating up all over the country again, and now it’s also about swallowing doody. Gas-powered leaf blowers aren’t the only gardening and landscaping apparatus that use loud two-stroke engines (it takes two piston movements to complete one cycle of combustion), but it’s pretty easy to understand what lawn mowers and chainsaws do and why they are used. The purpose, efficiency and effectiveness as a gardening tool of using powerful blowers on a typical 50by-100-foot property is more mysterious. Even the phrase “leaf blowers” is a misnomer. They don’t blow just leaves. They blow everything that’s on and in and around your lawn into the air, where it lingers for hours until it settles onto the neighbor’s car and their kids’ faces. Mold, pollen, seeds, little rocks, dead bugs, live ticks, it’s all launched at high speed. The polite word for it is “fugitive dust,” but on the street we call it “rodent feces,” and worse. In two-stroke engines, fuel is mixed with oil for lubrication, and about 30 percent of the mixture goes unburned and gets spewed out. That smell in the air after the gardener leaves is a mix of

MICHAEL A. MILLER carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides and various carcinogenic hydrocarbons. In late 2011, a study by Edmunds. com, the auto information site, found that the hydrocarbon emissions from half an hour of yard work with a two-stroke Echo leaf blower generated about the same carbon monoxide and non-methane hydrocarbon emissions as driving the 3,900 miles from Texas to Alaska in a 6,200-pound Ford Raptor. We know a lot more now than we did 10 and 20 years ago about allergies, asthma and the dangers of extended exposure to very fine particulate matter, which can penetrate deep into lungs, enter the bloodstream and harm the heart and other organs. This isn’t a joke. The noise is a problem, especially for people with limited mobility who

SLIRR Commuters Have Ways To Survive Strike Eye on

the Island

MIKE BARRY Recognizing a strike which impacted commuters effective Sunday, July 20, would inflict insufficient mayhem, the Long Island Rail Road’s (LIRR) union leaders want their prospective work stoppage pushed back to September. This comes as no surprise. But I was astonished to see the four U.S. House Members who represent Nassau County — Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford), Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington), Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-Mineola) and Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-St. Albans) — agreed with the LIRR’s union leaders while invoking an absurd cover story: the fate of Long Island’s summer tourism industry. “We encourage the MTA [Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the LIRR’s parent] to accept a proposal from the involved employee labor unions to extend the current ‘cooling

off’ period for an additional 60 days,” stated a June 19 letter to MTA chairman and CEO Thomas Prendergast, which was signed by the aforementioned U.S. House Members, and six others, from downstate New York. The correspondence is posted at www.smartunionlirr.com, and goes on to say “we are concerned about the

116058

effect that any potential work stoppage [in July 2014] could have on Long Island tourism, as the LIRR is a vital means of transportation to the East End and other destinations during the peak tourism season in the summer months.” True enough. Yet if you asked typical LIRR daily commuters whether they could more easily withstand a July LIRR strike, as compared to one in September, I daresay 90-plus percent of commuters would want a LIRR strike to occur in July. It is an easier time of year to take vacation, their children are on summer break, and the roadways are less clogged because neither school buses nor teachers are making the trips they take between September and June. To its credit, the LIRR’s Commuter Council, an entity created by the state legislature, began distributing pamphlets to LIRR riders at Penn Station in late June, offering guidance on how to prepare for a July strike. Meanwhile, the LIRR’s unions have the downstate Congressional delegation and two separate Obama administration-appointed panels backing them, even though the recommendations of those presidential nominees were non-binding, whereas the MTA’s labor negotiators are fending for themselves at the moment. The MTA has remained too silent throughout these proceedings, and could learn something from The Metropolitan Opera, which is currently in the midst of contract negotiations with 15 of the 16 unions representing employees that work at the Met. In a full-page New York Times advertisement (June 20), the Met’s executive committee explained how work rules forged in a different era are today financially unsustainable, and draining the institution’s resources. One example the Met

LIRR brass at a recent event promoting summer travel. If a strike comes, would it be better now, or in September? cited in its ad: the orchestra receives 16 weeks (yes, 16) of annual paid vacation. I’m sure comparable, unjustifiable expenditures are set into motion by the LIRR’s work rules. The MTA should take a full-page advertisement in a major daily newspaper and explain clearly some of the LIRR’s antiquated work rules to the public. LIRR commuters do, however, have weapons in 2014 that were not at their disposal in 1994, the last time the LIRR’s unions walked off the job. The first are the dramatic technological advances that have been made in the workplace. Given a laptop and an iPhone, most people can conduct business almost anywhere and, while they may miss face-to-face contact with colleagues and customers, a LIRR strike in 2014 is a major inconvenience as opposed to an event that can cripple the economy. The last 20 years have also brought widespread business continuity improvements made in the wake of 9-11, and Superstorm Sandy, times when New York City offices were either closed or inaccessible for extended periods of time. Should a LIRR strike occur, and continue for weeks, or even months, you’ll see city-based businesses rent space in either Nassau or Suffolk to accommodate their Long Island employees. Indeed, rather than shutting down the Island, a prolonged LIRR strike could boost to its commercial real estate market.

THE WEEKEND - JULY 2 - 8, 2014

Nassau’s Invisible Immigrant Community Most Long Islanders don’t think about Belmont Park beyond the annual Belmont Stakes. But look closely, and you will see that year in year out, the track is a very active and important economic force. Belmont Park has been part of the Long Island community since 1905. The grounds reside partially within Floral Park and Elmont, overlapping slightly into Queens. It typically holds nine or 10 races each day, Wednesday through Sunday. It’s a major part of the economy not just for those towns, but also for Long Island as a whole. Its economic contribution rests largely on the shoulders of an invisible group of men and women — nearly all of whom are immigrants. In racing parlance they are known as “backstretch” employees. These people perform essential jobs related to the care of the horses, including grooming, feeding and exercising. At Belmont Park, there are approximately 2,000 backstretch workers, most of whom live on the park grounds, according to Paul Ruchames, executive director for Backstretch Employee Service Team (BEST) of New York, a non-profit that provides health care and other services to the workers. “The horse racing world, which generates hundreds of millions of dollars, would not exist or it would be very tiny in New York without these workers,” said Ruchames. Despite their critical role in Long Island’s economy, there is little integration between the backstretch workers and the local community. Part of the reason is that the vast majority of workers live in dormitories on the grounds. Some have children who go to the local schools. Some take second jobs at the car wash or deli nearby. Most, according to Ruchames, “keep a low profile.” Life on the backstretch starts at 4 a.m. and ends around 11 a.m. Nearly all of the jobs these workers perform are physically demanding. “One is called a hot walker, who walks the horse before and after exercise,” said Ruchames. “Then there is an exercise rider.” There’s also the groom, who Ruchames said is the secret behind each horse. It is the groom who has the best gauge of the horse’s health and condition. “The groom bandages and takes care of the horse,” he said. “The groom knows the psychology of the horse. He knows his eating habits and sleeping habits.” All of these jobs require the men and women to be outside and exposed

Long Island Wins

MARYANN SLUTSKY to the elements for hours at a time. And there’s always the risk of being kicked or thrown by animals weighing well over a thousand pounds. “There’s a lot of shoveling,” said Ruchames, “and restraining the horse takes a lot of strength.” The immigrants performing these jobs accept these risks. Most come from rural villages in Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala — many from the same village or neighborhood. A good portion has had exposure to, if not hands-on experience, working with farm animals. For some, it’s a family tradition. Despite the hard labor, one thing is clear to Ruchames: The backstretch workers have a tremendous work ethic and truly love what they do. “They come to have relationships with the horses,” he said. Think of the bond people have with their pet, he said, “Now imagine that it’s your job, eight hours a day, working with your pet. Your pet runs a race — and wins!” Love or not, these are the proverbial jobs Americans simply won’t do. Ruchames said when trainers advertise openings, they get few, if any, responses from American-born workers. In the past, backstretch workers were African-Americans. Now, the role falls mainly to immigrants. Today’s backstretch workers are hired by the horse trainers, and brought to the U.S. on H2-B visas, like farmworkers. BEST was established in 1989 by people who had these working conditions in mind. “It was originally started just to handle drug and alcohol problems,” said Ruchames. “About seven years ago, it expanded the mission to include health care.” Largely funded by New York Racing Association (NYRA) and the New York Thoroughbred Horseman’s Association, BEST helps subsidize the workers’ health care costs, as well as provides alcohol and substance abuse counseling, psychological counseling and prescription medical assistance. It also established an on-site medical facility that offers primary care, chiropractic services, acupuncture and other treatments.

Dr. Fred Cogan, primary physician at the BEST Backstretch Clinic, said that he sees ailments related to the grueling outdoor work, and notices similarities with those in law enforcement, where long-term exposure to the elements is common. Cogan tries to ensure basic preventative care, such as routine blood tests and annual physicals, as well as immunizations. Planned Parenthood comes by once a month to offer their services. The benefit of the program goes beyond the backstretch. Over a five-year period, Ruchames said, “We saved the local community over $2 million in health care costs by what we are doing here. People who are going to our medical facility are not going to the emergency room.” Backstretch workers also receive childcare through the Belmont Child Care Association, popularly known as Anna House in honor of Anna Cordero, the late wife of Hall-of-Fame jockey Angel Cordero. Anna House is open from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m. to accommodate the workers’ schedule.

Top: Paul Ruchames, executive director for Backstretch Employee Service Team (BEST) of New York Bottom: A mural vividly portrays track — and backstretch — life. There’s also an on-site chaplaincy run by a separate non-profit called the Racetrack Chaplaincy of America N.Y. But non-profit organizations can do only so much. The passing of comprehensive immigration reform would be a game-changer for backstretch workers. For example, they would be able to reap the benefits of taxes they pay. The workers pay into Social Security, but rarely see the benefit because many ultimately move back to their country. We’re ready to wager that immigration reform would bring a better future for these workers — and for Long Island.

One concept that addresses many of Long Island’s economic and social needs is “transit-oriented development.” It should become a prominent focal point in this election season, as Long Islanders discuss our future ambitions. Transit-oriented development (TOD) refers to any development — housing, office, retail or any combination of them — located adjacent to transit stations (for us, the Long Island Rail Road). What’s especially impressive is the number of priority needs it addresses on Long Island. From an economic standpoint, we need to grow job opportunities, and TOD provides settings for office and retail jobs, as well as housing. We need to increase our population, in order to expand our economy and reduce the individual tax burden, and TOD enables higher-density growth without impacting less commercial areas. We need to provide more varieties of housing — smaller units and more rental options that appeal to young people as well as those looking to down-size from larger homes — and TOD can accommodate those varieties as well. From an environmental standpoint, we need to preserve our open space and the suburban lifestyle for which Long Island is renowned; we need to reduce our reliance on cars, and we need to be more creative in how we address our parking needs, so that we eliminate the growing blight of cars spreading out from transit stations in all directions. Transit-oriented development can accomplish all of that and more. For a look at innovative approaches to parking, for instance, see the Long Island Index’s ParkingPlus Design Challenge. From the standpoint of increasing innovation, we need to better link our centers of innovation — our universities, research centers and business incubators — and the people who work at them. We need to provide enhanced downtowns offering the mix of housing, entertainment, workspace and transit access that young people seek. We need to provide more options for reverse-commuting so that the talent and businesses we want to attract will move to Long Island rather than to Westchester County, southern Connecticut or northern

Opinion

NANCY RAUCH DOUZINAS New Jersey — nearby locations where reverse-commuting is so much easier and economic growth is far surpassing Long Island’s. Again, transit-oriented development can support all of that. The good news for Long Island is that crucial resources needed to expand TOD are already in place. First, we have the Long Island Rail Road and its 124 stations. Local communities will have to decide for themselves whether they want transit-oriented development and on what terms, but many larger communities do — for any number of the reasons cited above. Second, we have the space. There are more than 4,000 acres of surface parking lots in and around Long Island’s downtowns, and that space can be far more creatively imagined and effectively used. Think what a difference it would make if that space was contributing to Long Island’s economy in innovative ways while offering even more parking. That’s the reality of what’s possible, as the ParkingPlus Design Challenge reveals. Third, we have the access that transit provides to all parts of Greater New York City, the business capital of the world, and we need to put that access to greater use for Long Island. Election season is upon us and will be escalating as we approach November. Long Islanders should ask candidates for office what they will do to enhance transit-oriented development. It’s time for those candidates to hear that we are tired of watching the jobs that we need go to those other nearby locations. We need transit-oriented development and the economic growth that goes with it. It’s time for Long Island to get more TOD. Nancy Rauch Douzinas is president of the Garden City-based Rauch Foundation.

Local Pros Pick Top Plants BY ANTON NEWS STAFF

editorial@antonnews.com

For the 15th year in a row, Cornell Cooperative Extension has named the plants worthy of Long Island Gold Medals—the “Oscars” of Long Island horticulture. Each year, a selection committee of volunteers representing a wide cross-section of the local nursery and landscape industry chooses four plants — they may be trees, shrubs, perennials, vines, groundcovers or grasses — that are both underutilized and exceptionally well-suited to growing in the Long Island soil and climate. The criteria for the award include: proven performance in Long Island gardens; pest-free with multi-season ornamental appeal; adaptable to challenging landscape conditions; easily grown by gardeners of all skill levels; and widely available at local outlets. And the winners are: • Camellia japonica April Series and C. x Winter Series (Spring and Fall/Winter Blooming Hardy Camellias) These durable, colorful evergreens offer exquisite, glossy, dark green leaves year round and colorful flowers ranging from pure white to deep pink and red. at select times of the year. The April Series offers flowers in April and May while the Winter Series blooms from late October until the onset of cold weather in December. Camellias are best planted in spring and prefer rich, acidic, well-drained soil and partial shade. When siting, avoid planting on a southern exposure. Camellias are heat, drought and pest resistant and offer great texture and color throughout the year. ‘Winter’s Star’, ‘Winter’s Joy’, ‘Winter’s Darling’, ‘April Kiss’, ‘April Rose’ and ‘April Tryst’ are among some of the best new cultivars available. These new selections are hardy from zones 6-9. • Cornus florida Flowering Dogwood This classic American native displays pure white or pink showy bracts in spring, rich shades of red and maroon foliage in fall as well as glossy red berries and a rough, alligator skin like bark all year round. Although susceptible to diseases such as dogwood anthracnose and powdery mildew,

• Ilex crenata ‘Soft Touch’ Soft Touch Japanese Holly This semi-dwarf Japanese holly has fine, glossy foliage that is softer to the touch than most other cultivars. The dense habit to 2-3’ tall and wide and dark foliage make it a suitable replacement to boxwood as hedges, foundation plantings and low screens. Well-drained soil is preferred and full sun or partial shade is best for growing dense plants. Soft Touch Holly is

specific siting in the garden will help to alleviate disease problems. Flowering dogwood should be sited in full sun or partial shade on an eastern exposure where there is good air circulation. Avoid aboveground watering in the afternoon or evening hours. Rich, organic, well-drained soil is preferred along with 1-2” of mulch around new plants. Avoid watering your dogwoods in the afternoon or evening hours to reduce wet foliage late in the day. ‘Cherokee Princess’, ‘Cherokee Brave’ and ‘Appalachian Spring’ are excellent cultivars with good vigor and pest resistance. Hardy from zones 5-9.

profusion of lavender-blue flowers in early to mid summer make this a mid season favorite. The low, spreading growth habit to 12” high makes it a good plant for the front of a border, along a walkway. Catmint is a great plant for hot, dry locations and prefers sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. After blooming in late summer, plants can be cut back to encourage another flush of flowers in fall. This plant is also deer and rabbit resistant. Hardy from zones 3-8.

Every city has a funeral home that is preferred. Of course, other funeral homes would prefer you didn’t know that. But we think families want to know who they can depend on. Our family never knew when we started our first location, we would not only be the most preferred there, but in many areas of Long Island. Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in us.

We are open during our exterior renovation that will provide room for an expanded parking area. And thank the community for your understanding and support.

LEVITTOWN TRIBUNE - JULY 2 - 8, 2014

PSEG Warns Residents Of Scam PSEG Long Island is reiterating its warning to customers to be on alert for phone and email payment scams, and thieves posing as utility workers, which could put their financial and personal security at risk. As reported recently in various news outlets, burglars are posing as utility workers, contractors and surveyors. These imposters are distracting the homeowners while an accomplice steals items from the home. The phone and email scam, which is plaguing utilities across the country, involves individuals misrepresenting themselves as utility collections representatives threatening to turn off electric service if payment is not made to them that day via a Green Dot MoneyPak. PSEG Long Island employees have photo identification badges that must be displayed at all times. If you are not sure of an employee’s identity or have difficulty with the badges when someone comes to your home, call PSEG Long Island’s customer service

center at 1-800-490-0025. A customer service representative can verify that an employee has been dispatched to your premises. When PSEG Long Island makes an outbound phone call to customers, the representative will ask to speak to the Customer of Record. If that person is available, the representative will explain why they are calling and will share information that includes the account name, address and current balance. If customers do not receive this correct information, they likely are not speaking with a representative. Additionally, if the Customer of Record is not available, the PSEG Long Island representative will not discuss the account at all. Any customer who has doubts about the legitimacy of a call or someone trying to get inside their home that is representing PSEG Long Island, especially one in which payment is requested, should call 1-800-490-0025 or visit a local PSEG Long Island Customer Service Center. The website is www.psegliny.com/ scam.

Virtue & Valor Meet At All-Star Game By LEVITTOWN TRIBUNE STAFF

levittown@antonnews.com

On June 21, Maiden Field in Glen Cove played host to the inaugural Dan Daly Cup High School All-Star Lacrosse game, honoring the legacy of U.S. Marine Sgt. Maj. Dan Daly, a two-time Medal of Honor recipient. Sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corps, in partnership with the Nassau County Lacrosse Coaches Association, the New York Lizards professional lacrosse team, the City of Glen Cove and the

Glen Cove School District, the game featured 50 of Nassau and Suffolk’s elite high school lacrosse players. Dean Peluso and Gerard Del Grosso from MacArthur and Frank Kirk from Division Avenue represented the Levittown High Schools at the event which pit Nassau County’s Team Virtue up against the Suffolk squad’s Team Valor. Despite an admirable comeback by Team Virtue players, Team Valor would prevail to win the game 14-8. Leading up to the game, players

from both squads participated in intense, military-style physical fitness warm-up drills led by local Marines, who also conducted seminars that instilled pride, emphasized teamwork and addressed community responsibility. Lizards coaches also shared their professional lacrosse expertise with members of both teams. Earlier in the day, the Marines gathered with Glen Cove officials to rededicate the plaque bearing Sgt. Maj. Daly’s name at Glen Cove’s Monument Park. Additionally, the

Marines presented a special framed lacrosse jersey to the Pedone family, honoring the late Nicholas Pedone, a Glen Cove youngster who lost his battle with a rare form of cancer. Descendants of Sgt. Maj. Daly, including his grand niece, were on hand for the rededication and the game. Sgt. Maj. Daly was a two-time Medal of Honor recipient during the early 1900s and is one of the Marine Corps’ most admired heroes. Marines of all occupational specialties respect his legend and fighting spirit to this day.

Levittown PAL Goes Equestrian Boys and girls with the Levittown Police Athletic League recently visited the New York Equestrian Center in West Hempstead, where they were given a chance to learn more about the sport of horseback riding. However, not all of the lessons focused on how to ride. The children also learned to groom the horses and were taught about the different breeds and proper color names of each horse at the center.

One parent said, “they like that the Levittown PAL offers this program, because their child does not participate in typical team sports. This gives him an opportunity to get some exercise and meet new friends.” The six-week program came to a close on a beautiful day. “It was great fun,” said Olivia Irwin, who looks forward to joining again in the future. — Submitted by Donna Irwin
