Glen Covers Recognized At Last Council Meeting Of 2022

The last Glen Cove City Council meeting in 2022, which took place Dec. 27, 2022, was no ordinary meeting. It was a special meeting, as two Glen Covers were honored at the start of the meeting.

First up was Emanuel (Manny) Grella, who was honored for saving a life.

His story reads as follows: “After hearing nearby screams, Manny jumped into a backyard pool to retrieve a 73-year-old woman when her vehicle accidentally plunged into the pool. Manny aided in saving the woman’s life seconds before the vehicle was entirely submerged in water.”

Councilwoman Danielle Fugazy Scagliola explained that Grella, and fellow resident Christian Floro, after getting the woman out of the pool, attended to her until medics

These events took place in 2019, and years later, Grella, and Floro, has earned their recognition for their part in saving this woman’s life through the New York State Senate Liberty Medal, presented by State Sen. Jim Guaghran.

“Manny, I know you’re a humble man, but this is a really incredible honor for me, and for us, to present this to you,” said Glen Cove City Councilwoman Marsha Silverman. “The Liberty Medal is the highest honor for any civilian to be awarded in New York State. It’s not awarded lightly. It’s awarded when somebody goes above and beyond outside the normal course of duty to do something incredible for our community, such as save somebodies life.”

Councilwoman Scagliola and Mayor Pam Panzenbeck, who presented him with a citation, both said they were not surprised to hear Grella saved a life because of the honorable work he does for the city as the general labor foreman in the City of Glen Cove Department of Public Works.

Grella said after receiving the kind words and awards, that he was just at the right place at the right time and that his actions

were a team effort. “I’m glad she’s okay and she’s still okay now,” Grella said. “I still see her.”

After Grella was honored, it was Glen Cove City Councilman Joseph Capobianco’s time to shine.

It was very fitting that the last meeting of the year, was also Councilman Capobianco’s last meeting as a sitting council member, as he is now the Glen Cove City Court judge, taking over following Judge Richard McCord’s judgeship.

“It meant a lot to me as my first year as mayor to have you here,” said Mayor Panzenbeck, reflecting on their years of working together for the city.

The now Judge Capobianco said he was feeling melancholy at this last meeting.

“It’s been an honor to be up here for six years,” he said. “I got elected four times. I thank the residents of Glen Cove for voting for me... I confess I’m going to miss people talking issues at the restaurants, at the supermarkets. I’m going to also miss people asking me when Target’s coming here and when Trader Joe’s is coming here. I’m also going to miss the give and take of this room. This is democracy in action and it all starts

at the local level.”

With that said, Judge Capobianco wished everyone a happy New Year and that he hopes to see none of those present in his court.

Oyster Bay Resident Hits Broadway

BY JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonnews.com

On Jan. 17 at 54 Below, Broadway’s Supper Club, a concert of a big band musical based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Beautiful and Damned will bring a beloved story to life.

The musical The Beautiful and Damned, premiered last year at the Jeanne Rimsky Theater in Port Washington. And the transformation from a classic novel to a musical all comes from 22-year-old Brooke Di Spirito, a writer, lyracist, composer and

choreographer from Oyster Bay.

“I would just read the novel over and over again,” Dr Spirito said. “And lots of things would jump out at me. And there was a lot of fragments, like ‘oh that would be great for a dance,’ or ‘this moment is screaming for a melody.’”

While attending Northeastern University, Di Spirito, who is also a ballet dancer, began adapting The Beautiful and Damned, receiving awards and grants towards workshopping the production. After moving to New York City, the

musical would hit the big stage in Port Washington.

“After that I was surprised and grateful that we received a little bit of media attention,” Di Spirito said. “The F. Scott Fitzgerald Society wrote a very nice review about us.”

The upcoming concert at 54 Below, a Tony Award winning venue, will feature Sarah Anne Fernandez, who played “Elphaba” in the Broadway show Wicked’s national tour. Vocalists also include members of the original workshop cast for The

Beautiful and Damned: Mike Jubak Jr., Izzy Ochocki and Beatrix Postley.

The show is accompanied by a seven-piece orchestra, featuring Jivan Ramesh, who at just five years old became the youngest string player to perform at Carnegie Hall.

And many of the people involved with this production are from Long Island, Di Spirito added.

To buy tickets, a $25 to $60 cover charge (there is also a $25 food and beverage minimum), visit 54below.com.

Longtime Community Advocate Passes Away

Carole Karp Cohen of Great Neck passes at age 84

away with all the time.”

Carole was very involved with the North Shore Soup Kitchen and North Shore Shelter Program, both in Glen Cove. She helped establish the North Shore Shelter Program after two men, in separate instances, froze to death on the streets of Glen Cove. Carole and other outraged community members and the clergy helped form the shelter program in the First Presbyterian Church of Glen Cove.

the United States to speak before Congress to try to get some help,” said Deborah. “They showed up at our Thanksgiving table and there was a woman who sat across from me who was missing an eye because she had been tortured. And on the one hand, I was traumatized, but on the other hand, I was so amazed at my mother that she would have the courage and the hutzpah to do what nobody else was doing.”

Carole Karp Cohen peacefully passed away in her Great Neck home in October. Carole was 84 years old and passed surrounded by her loving family. Many people in the Great Neck, Glen Cove, and surrounding communities remember Carole as an advocate for the homeless and her social justice activism.

Carole is survived by her daughters Deborah Cohen and partner Paul Dennis of Northampton, Mass., Laura Cohen and partner Neil Pergament and their daughter Jacie Colette Cohen Pergament of Brooklyn, NY. The Great Neck Record spoke to Carole’s daughters, Deborah and Laura, about their mother and her contributions to the community.

“I think everyone thinks their parents or their mom is special. But I think she really was kind of extraordinary in a lot of ways,” said Laura. “And I feel like the world is a little less peaceful without her. I know there are a lot of people who are homeless or almost homeless that are just feeling the loss tremendously.”

Carole was a first-generation American, born in New York on April 9, 1936, and raised in the Bronx and Queens. Her parents, Beatrice and Edward Karp, fled Russia when hundreds of thousands of Jews were being murdered by pogroms.

Deborah feels that their grandmother’s strength in escaping to the United States partly inspired Carole to be such a strong activist for people.

“[My mother] didn’t really believe in citizenship,” said Deborah. “She just believed that we’re all citizens of the planet and should all share the resources and care for one another. And it doesn’t matter where you were born, but a human being is a human being.”

One of Carole’s favorite t-shirts said, ‘No human is illegal.’ Undocumented people were often, and sometimes still are, referred to as illegals. Deborah shared that her mother “felt like nobody is illegal just because you were born in a certain place.”

“For us, it just always seemed like she had this fine-tuned moral compass,” said Laura. “If asked, she always seemed to say that you do something because it’s the right thing to do.”

Carole completed her master’s degree

at Bank Street College of Education in New York and taught pre-K at the Little Red School House in New York City. After marrying Richard Cohen in 1962, Carole stopped teaching and remained an outspoken supporter of civil rights.

She co-founded Mothers (and Others) Against the Draft. She was active in many social justice groups, including SANE, a citizen’s organization for nuclear disarmament, and CARECEN, the Central American Refugee Center based in Hempstead, NY. In 1995, the Town of Hempstead recognized Carole for her lifelong community service.

The organization Carole co-founded, Mothers (and Others) Against the Draft, allowed her to go to schools and talk to students about the realities of war.

“She would pull away the curtain of glamour and let people know about options for being a conscientious objector,” said Deborah.

Deborah and Laura both remember their mother protesting and organizing for social justice. Whether marching on the street corners of Great Neck or organizing buses to march in Washington, Carole was a part of it.

“My mother always had a very keen eye and awareness about over-policing in communities of color and how the criminal punishment system was so inequitable in terms of how black people were treated versus white people,” said Deborah. “And she used to go with some homeless people to court to advocate for them. She’d see that they couldn’t afford a lawyer and that if they went on their own, they had a lower chance of getting away with the things that white people just get

Carole has volunteered at the soup kitchen since it opened its doors in 1989. She cooked and served meals to those in need, taught English classes, collected and distributed clothing, and met people to help with whatever circumstance they were in.

With Thanksgiving passing recently, Deborah and Laura recalled how important that holiday was for their mother. Carole’s Thanksgiving celebrations could last days because of providing hot meals to those who didn’t have a place to celebrate.

“With her involvement at the soup kitchen, if there were anyone there, whether they were volunteers or soup kitchen guests that didn’t have somewhere to go, she would bring them home,” said Laura. “So our Thanksgiving meals could have upwards of 35 people. It was always really special.”

“Anybody who didn’t have a place to go is always welcome, but there were always people who were political exiles or people who were escaping war,” said Deborah.

At one Thanksgiving, Carole had the Mothers of the Disappeared, a group of women from Nicaragua whose husbands and sons had been killed. These women’s husbands and sons disappeared because the Nicaragua contras were killing civilians. Groups of women marched to the police station and demanded to know what was happening to their husbands and sons, and these women were tortured, shared Deborah.

“So my mother was part of a group that had funded and brought these women to

Carole’s dedication to activism and being an advocate was equivalent to her commitment to her family. Laura and Deborah remember how much she adored family and children and how important quality time was to her.

“She had a pin that said ‘Give a damn.’ She felt strongly that you should be an involved citizen,” said Laura. “And if something doesn’t seem right, you should say something. It was a part of what we grew up with, knowing that we should stand up and try and make a change.”

“She was a great role model for all of us and for her granddaughter,” said Laura. “So I do feel so grateful that we had her for as long as we did, but it’s never enough.”

According to information shared with the Great Neck Record, “Carole’s generous spirit and open heart helped her survive personal loss and unending grief. Her son, Jonathan Cohen, died after a battle with cancer in 2003. Her husband, Dr. Richard Cohen, retired chief of surgery at Parson’s Hospital in Queens, died in 2015 after a long illness. He was 83. They had been married for 52 years. Carole’s unofficially adopted son, Michael Lofton, died in 2020.”

A memorial celebration of Carole’s life is being planned for Spring 2023. For information contact: carolecohenmemorial@gmail.com. Donations can be made in Carole Cohen’s name to North Shore Soup Kitchen, P.O. Box 168, Glen Cove, NY, 11542. https://www.northshoresoupkitchen.org

George Santos: The Nation Reacts

Widespread fallout continues from Santos’ scandal, but to what end?

editors@antonmediagroup.com

Before even taking office, freshman Representative George Santos (NY03) made a name for himself that will likely be remembered, and possibly argued over, for many decades to come.

Meanwhile, Santos is facing down potential state and federal investigations into his conduct, as well as pressure to resign, or to participate in a special election.

In the weeks leading up to his first term as a United States Congressman, Rep. Santos has drawn an outpouring of criticism, ire, and in some cases indifference after it was publicly revealed that he fabricated much of his official campaign bio, among other personal and financial inconsistencies that have come to light.

A week after publication of a factually damning exposé in the New York Times (one of numerous outlets to do so lately), Santos broadly acknowledged the long list of fake resumé items, describing this as “embellishing”; he also said he had every intention of assuming office, a nod to calls for his resignation from Democratic officials and voters, and some Republicans, that had already started to mount.

Given the number of and variety of personal, professional, and financial details that have come under scrutiny, multiple news outlets have started keeping running lists of things that Santos has been accused of lying about. Major topics that he has admitted to lying about include his education, his work history, his finances, that members of his family fled or died in the Holocaust, and that he employed people who were killed in the Pulse nightclub massacre in 2016. To date, Santos has not explicitly addressed his sourcing of personal and campaign funds in the past three years under recent scrutiny, nor has he clarified previous claims about whether his mother was in the twin towers on 9/11, and whether and when he had a brain tumor, among other things.

In the week after the December 19, 2022 New York Times story ran, outgoing Nassau County Legislator Joshua Lafazan was among the first local officials to publicly condemn the dishonest behavior by Santos, who defeated his Democratic opponent Robert Zimmerman for the Distrct 3 congressional seat back in November. Leg. Lafazan held multiple rallies that week, calling for Santos’ resignation and decrying the freshman Republican congressman-elect’s numerous untruths about his profressional resumé and Jewish heritage. Incoming U.S. Congressman Daniel

Goldman (D, NY-10) tweeted on December 20 that, if all the reporting on Santos is true, “there are at least two possible federal crimes at play,” and called on the U.S. Attorney General’s office to investigate. A few days later, Rep. Goldman tweeted again: “Time to add a third potential federal crime: campaign finance fraud. In 2021, Santos incorporated the Devolder Org in FL, which has no known assets. In 2022, he reports income of $750k, all from Devolder. He then gives $700k to his campaign. Where did that money come

from?” Goldman has also called for the FBI to investigate Santos.

On December 23, New York State Assemblyman Charles Lavine (D-North Shore) issued the following statement: “I am deeply troubled by the bizarre allegations surrounding our Congressman-Elect George Santos. It is grotesquely unfair for the people of the Third Congressional District to be represented by anyone who has fabricated and concocted significant aspects of his life. I welcome the investigation announced by New York State Attorney General Letitia James. I urge the leadership of the soon to be sworn House of Representatives to take the steps necessary to protect the national legislative interests of the people of northern Queens and Nassau County.”

As the Christmas and Chanukah holidays wrapped up, and after Santos had publicly responded to some degree, more local as well as state and national officials started getting on the record about Santos’ apparent modus operandi.

Democrat Robert Zimmerman, Santos’ former opponent, tweeted, “George, if that’s even your real name, if you’re so convinced that #NY3 voters still trust you - resign & run against me again in a special election. Face the voters with your real past & answer questions about your criminal history. Let the voters decide.”

On December 29, Zimmerman also appeared alongside outgoing New York State Senator Anna M. Kaplan, Assemblyman Lavine, Rabbi Deborah

Bravo, communinity member Linda Beigel Schulman, daughter of Holocaust survivor and a gun safety advocate, and other concerned parties at a rally calling for Santos’ resignation and investigation.

Kaplan told the assembled electeds and community members, “George Santos has perpetrated a complete and total fraud on our community, but we cannot forget that for the last three years, he was enabled and supported by the entire Nassau County Republican machine and his Republican running mates, many of whom sit in elected office today and others who will soon take office.

Kaplan continued, “The questions about exactly who George Santos is are not new, but they were brushed aside and minimized by local Republicans desperate to flip this congressional seat at any cost. Our entire community has been victimized, and we demand accountability. George Santos must be investigated by all appropriate authorities, particularly surrounding his shady business dealings and mystery millions that seem to have appeared overnight despite having no legitimate career to speak of.”

Criticism of Santos hasn’t only come from Democrats, either.

Town of North Hempstead Supervisor commented in a late December statement: “The disappointment that I feel having been misled by George Santos’ lies is profound. I am particularly offended that he

would fabricate family history with regard to the Holocaust. Our Jewish neighbors, as well as all of our residents, deserve better. Now, Mr. Santos must be honest and accountable to the public going forward if he truly wants to repair the damage he has caused. I will be watching carefully, and I am hopeful that Mr. Santos continues to make amends.”

A few days later, DeSena made another statement: “George Santos has admitted he lied and fabricated his education and his employment. He has failed to answer additional questions about his finances. My disappointment is extreme and personal as I was deceived when asked to endorse him. I join others who have called for federal and state investigations.”

DeSena continued, “I am particularly disgusted with Mr. Santos misrepresenting family persecution during the Holocaust and his misuse of the term Jewish. False statements about the victims at the Pulse Nightclub massacre also are beyond the pale. Having failed to answer questions that the public has a right to know, Mr. Santos is not trustworthy and if he takes office will not have my support. He is not welcome at any program or event in the Town of North Hempstead that I am a part of. I’ve spoken with members of the minority party on the Town Board and our Town Clerk and they share my views.”

Around the same time, freshman U.S. Representative Daniel LaLota (R, NY-1) said in a statement: “House Republicans

like me are eager to be sworn in and focus on our commitment to America and our respective districts. Yet, over the last few weeks I have heard from countless Long Islanders how deeply troubled they are by the headlines surrounding George Santos. As a Navy man who campaigned on

restoring accountability and integrity to our government, I believe a full investigation by the House Ethics Committee and, if necessary, law enforcement, is required. New Yorkers deserve the truth and House Republicans deserve an opportunity to govern without this distraction.”

In early January, Representative Kevin Brady (R) of Texas told Fox News Sunday that the 34-year-old Republican “is certainly going to have to consider resigning.”

Santos, who has compared abortion to slavery and once called police brutality a “made-up concept,” is currently under investigation by the Eastern District of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, according to media reports.

In early January, numerous outlets also reported that officials in Brazil have resumed their investigation regarding alleged check fraud by Santos in that country when he lived there with his mother at age 19 (an allegation Santos denies) now that legal officials there know where to find him.

The Nassau County District Attorney’s office also told press that they are looking into the situation.

Richard Luscombe reported for The Guardian that Democrats are “also expected to pursue several avenues ... including a potential complaint to the federal election commission and what would be a largely symbolic resolution to expel him from Congress.”

Elected officials, like media outlets, have also been talking a lot about how to prevent this sort of thing from happening again.

Rep. Richie Torres (D, NY-15), for example, has introduced a federal bill entitled the SANTOS Act, or Stop Another NonTruthful Office Seeker, Torres told NY1. Before 2022 came to a close, Leg. Lafazan also introduced a county-level Campaign Honesty Bill.

Retired Educators Donate To Veterans

Angelo Grande, chairperson for community service for the Long Island Zone of Retired Educators of New York (RENY), and Kathryn Grande, co-chair of Glen Head, presented a donation of brand-new clothing, socks, shirts and underwear to be given to the homeless men and women veterans in Nassau and Suffolk counties, as well as the Beacon Houses, for the holidays. They presented the items to the Nassau County Veterans Service Agency in East Meadow.

“It is a pleasure to serve our veterans, who served our country to make it possible for all of us to be here today,” Ralph Esposito, director of Nassau County Veteran Service Agency said.

Esposito explained that the agency hosts two “stand downs” each year that serve veterans in need. They served 525 veterans this past November. The agency distributes food, turkeys, brand new coats, shoes, boots, clothing and more.

The Nassau County Veterans Service Agency also feed the homeless veterans daily through its ongoing food pantry (weekdays from 9 a.m. to noon) at its East Meadow office.

RENY members also wrote nearly 300 holiday cards to the veterans. They also made a donation last year for the “stand down.”

RENY, formerly known as New York State Teachers’ Association, is open to retired public school teachers, personnel and administrators. They were happy to make this donation to local veterans.

Despite frigid temperatures and a tree taking down our power lines on Dec 23, nothing could dim the lights of North Country Reform Temple’s Hanukkah Service and party. Everyone lit their menorahs and enjoyed a delicious candlelight dinner. Many thanks to the heroic linemen who worked so hard to restore our power! Of course we shared with them our jelly donuts, a traditional treat on Hanukkah!

Tune in and turn off: Sure, your kids need to be told to put the phones away at the dinner table and when they’re doing homework. But they’re not the only ones who overuse the tech gadgets. When you are with your kids, be fully present. The years really do fly by.

2

Be a role model: Believe it or not, your children and teens look to you as their example of how to act in the world. For your sake and theirs, eat healthfully and exercise, spend more time outdoors, and be sure to…

3

Put self-care in your list of priorities: As parents, we sometimes think our job is to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of our children. But if you don’t take care of yourself, you’ll have nothing left to give them. Take the time to engage in activities that make you feel happy, confident and healthy.

4

Don’t compare yourself to other parents or your kids to other kids: Facebook and other social media platforms

5

make it look like every parent has the perfect child—the honor student, star athlete, community volunteer, etc. But these are just self-selected pieces of information and don’t paint a true picture. Every parent faces challenges, and no one is perfect.

Don’t take the bait: Kids push our buttons, there’s no doubt about it. But when you respond to your tot’s tantrum with a tantrum of your own, it doesn’t help the situation and only creates more chaos. When they are acting up, take a deep breath and remember that the goal is to respond thoughtfully, not react impulsively. One way to hone this skill is to…

6

Practice meditation. Numerous studies show that even a few minutes a day of meditation will help reduce your stress. Not sure how? Google “how to meditate” and you’ll find lots of helpful tips and videos. You can also google “meditation on Long Island” to find a group. And invite your kids to try it

out, too! Let them know supercool celebrities and athletes like Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, Lizzo, Derek Jeter and LeBron James are big meditators.

7Listen closely and talk less: When our children come to us with problems, it’s our natural inclination to try to fix things for them. But the reality is, often what they need is just to be heard. Make a promise to yourself that you will listen to your kids and not jump in right away to solve the problem. To open the lines of communication, simply ask, How are you feeling?

8Pay attention and give praise: The way you communicate with your child not only teaches them how to communicate with others, it shapes their emotional development and how they build relationships later in life. Giving your child positive attention for

good behav ior can boost their self-esteem, improve your relationship and help your child understand the behaviors you like and want to see more often.

Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year!

On Jan. 7, Antigone Rising, a band that has roots in Glen Cove and Sea Cliff, performed at yoga studio and event center, Buddha Jams, in Glen Cove. Joanie Leeds, who won a Grammy for Best Children’s Album with All the Ladies, was slated to perform but was not able to make it due to a family matter. Guest performers filled in, including the Cantor for Oyster Bay’s Congregation L’Dor V’Dor, Tayla Smilowitz.

And the event, which is geared towards families, donations were accepted to benefit Girls Rising, a non-profit organization created by Antigone Rising that works to empower and inspire girls and LGBTQIA children to pursue careers in male dominated fields through workshops, grants, scholarships and the annual Girls Rising Music Festival that centers around young musicians. The event featured an accessible yoga session, meditation and concerts.

“Our passion and our non-profit is all about empowering young girls to follow that inner voice inside them, to express themselves truly and authentically and not fear that, and to also support that in others,” said Cathy Henderson, a guitarist and founding member of Antigone Rising.

Creating this event with Jason Samel, the founder of Buddha Jams, has been the perfect match. Henderson explained that Samel, who supports the mission of Girls Rising, also comes from a place of “higher being and living.”

“He created this awesome mix of music and meditative yoga experience, which is Buddha Jams,” Henderson said. “I think it’s such a great manifestation of his own elevation, and to give back to people. It’s all about love and giving back to everybody.”

Leeds, a friend of Samel’s and Antigone Rising’s, told Long Island Weekly ahead of the concert that she was inspired by Samel’s

opening of the studio.

Buddha Jams opened in April, 2022 and had a grand opening the following June. Samel found the studio because he wanted to share his love of yoga, as well as mix it with his love of music.

“During Covid I became very depressed...I fell into a really dark place of depression and anxiety,” Samel explained. “I went onto [Tappen] Beach [in Sea Cliff]... and in one a-ha moment, I decided to sit down on the beach, close my eyes, rise my arms up in the air on my breath in, bring my hands back to heart center on my breath out, and I just kept doing that movement for about 15 minutes.”

After doing this meditation for about 15 minutes, Samel said he smiled in a way that he hadn’t in years, with an abundance of love inside his heart for everything and everyone around him, as well as himself.

“I came back to the beach and I said ‘you know what, I’m going to try this again,’” Samel

said. “And it was during the middle of COVID, so there was no yoga studios that were open and there was no where to get instruction, except online, and I hated getting instruction online... so I went to Tappen every single day. And I went to a few yoga classes in the past with my wife, and I remembered a few poses that we did in class. So I decided to do yoga there every single day... I took my shirt off every single day whether it was hot, even in December when it got cold, even in the snow... even in the rain.”

He calls yoga in the snow, “Snow-Ga,” and yoga in the rain, “Rain-ga.”

Facing the elements, breathing through it and completing the same practice every day was a powerful experience for Samel. “If I can do that on my yoga mat, I can do anything in life.”

Buddha Jams is the manifestation of Samel’s journey. Even with less than a year of being open, classes are well attended,

though there’s certainly room for more, Samel said. And the studio employs experienced practitioners including an acupuncturist and healing artist, a yoga physical therapist, a licensed clinical social worker, and several yoga, healing and meditation artists, including Samel, who recently became a certified yoga teacher.

Samel said a community is forming out of this studio.

And what better way to add to that momentum then through a family concert?

“This time of year is when health and being a better person and all those resolutions come into play,” said Henderson. “And hopefully [the concert] is a really cool way to help people keep that momentum going, so the timing is for that reason. But the underlying reason for doing this, of course, is utilizing meditation, and bringing that sense of creativity and empowerment, to the kids.”

How Your College Student Can Study Abroad Safely

BY ZEV FAINTUCH specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

With a new academic year now underway, hundreds of thousands of college students have left, or are planning to leave, home for semesters abroad.

Studying abroad is often a life-changing experience, and an opportunity to create lasting relationships and gain an appreciation for new cultures. Yet, it is not without its risks. Taking some time to assess various problematic scenarios and how to handle them can place your student in a much better, and much safer, position while they are traveling.

Health

Have a frank discussion with your child about their overall health. If they suffer from any chronic conditions, have a plan for treatment while they are away. Find out where they can receive quality specialist care, and how to get immediate help in a medical emergency.

On that note, it would also be wise to investigate your insurance programs and get a clear picture of what is and is not covered. Then, have a look at where your student is going to see if the local hospitals and clinics will accept your insurance or if you will need to increase their credit card limit to cover any medical expenses out-of-pocket.

Be aware that public health management can vary from country to country. Some less developed nations struggle with illnesses that Americans typically don’t even have to consider. COVID-19 still presents a significant health threat in many parts of the world, and the World Health Organization recently declared the spread of the Monkeypox virus to be a global health emergency. The Center for Disease Control’s travel database can help keep you and your student up to date on the level of health risk involved in traveling throughout the world.

Finally, reinforce the importance of good hygiene and basic cleanliness to reduce the risks of infectious diseases, particularly if transmission rates are notably high in the area where your student is traveling. Regular hand washing, not sharing towels or bedsheets, and disinfecting shared surfaces like desks or gym equipment are all sensible practices to help reduce the spread of illness.

Geopolitics

While we live in a world of bountiful possibility and excitement for young people looking to travel and learn, it’s

Studying abroad is often a life-changing experience.

also unfortunately one with areas of increasing unrest and political instability. Violent clashes between governments and military forces threaten the safety of anyone who is near them, regardless of the reason. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a prime example – students should avoid all regions within 50 miles of the Ukrainian border and should not travel to Belarus or Transnistria, as doing so now risks arbitrary detainment.

The economic ramifications of this conflict are reverberating throughout Europe. Inflation, recession, and energy shortage concerns are exactly the types of conditions that destabilize societies, mobilize citizens, and trigger mass unrest. Anyone traveling to Europe should be aware of the economic and political landscape and avoid getting caught up in potentially volatile events like public protests.

When looking to study abroad, it is important that both you and your student have a clear understanding not just of a country’s culture and customs, but its socio-political climate, as well.

Personal Safety

Communicate to your child the importance of knowing their surroundings. Situational awareness is paramount to mitigating risk and avoiding a potentially dangerous predicament. As a rule, it is always best to blend in when possible. Sticking out—by being loud or wearing very different or expensive-looking clothing—can make someone into a target for theft or worse.

Tell your student to be mindful of where they go, and who they go with. They can visit the Department of State Travel Advisory site for the countries they plan on traveling to and get information on any cities or neighborhoods with particularly high crime rates or other threats. Also, encourage them to talk to locals to find out what areas to avoid.

It’s easy to forget that what is legal and illegal in America may be different elsewhere in the world, so have your student get familiar with the laws of the country they will be visiting. Some countries, for example, forbid photographing critical

infrastructure and police, military, and government buildings. The last thing anyone wants is to experience legal troubles abroad—as evidenced by Brittney Griner’s recent drug conviction while visiting Russia—so it is critical to identify these novel laws ahead of time.

Timing can also be crucial in having a safe experience abroad. For example, students may want to avoid visiting some countries, particularly those with a history of political violence, during an election season. Seasonal weather should also be taken into account. Some countries experience extreme weather patterns, with extensive periods of massive rain or snowfall that could make air or land travel dangerous, particularly in less developed areas.

With some diligent research ahead of time, and by having a conversation with your student about situational awareness, you will be setting them up for a safe and fulfilling semester abroad.

Guiding Young Adults Toward Successful Careers

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

On the surface, the future looks bright for spring’s college grads, with employers planning to hire nearly 15 percent more candidates from the class of 2023 than in the previous year, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Dig a little deeper, however, and the outlook gets murkier, cautions career coach Beth Hendler-Grunt.

“College graduates struggle to find jobs due to competition, lack of work experience and not understanding employer expectations,” she said. “And their parents are frustrated. They want to help, and they’re not sure how. Many parents haven’t looked for a job in over 20-plus years, and things have definitely changed in that time.”

How can parents help?

What should grads do?

Hendler-Grunt’s new book, The Next Great Step: The Parents’ Guide to Launching Your New Grad Into a Career , gives parents a simple, step-by-step plan for successfully guiding their young adults through the transition from college to career.

Filled with tips, job aids and insightful stories, The Next Great Step addresses everything from how parents can help their young adults get “unstuck” and navigate the hiring process, to how students and grads can stand out from the rest of the graduating class. Hendler-Grunt shares the secrets of how to “network” the right way and excel in interviews, and how parents can offer solid career advice to their grad.

The Next Great Step provides insights from three key perspectives: the concerns of the parent, the thought process of the student and the expectations of potential employers.

“Navigating the post-college job world is all about developing and

implementing the right strategies,” Hendler-Grunt said. “This book is required reading for families looking to navigate a changing world from college to career. Companies need new grads. It’s just a matter of connecting the dots.” Hendler-Grunt is the founder and president of Next Great Step (www. nextgreatstep.com). She is a dynamic leader, advisor and facilitator who has extensive experience consulting with startups, Fortune 500 firms, universities and individuals. She founded Next Great Step with the sole focus of guiding college students and recent grads to help them land the job they deserve. Hendler-Grunt leverages techniques and insights from hiring managers and CEOs and brings those secrets to students to help them stand out and get the job. She has enabled hundreds of clients to achieve success, with 90 percent of her clients landing the job of their choice. She has been featured in The Wall Street Journal , The New York Times , SiriusXM radio, Kiplinger , CNN, Fortune and many other media outlets. She is also the mom of a recent college

job.

Stony Brook Student Awarded For Speaking Out For Animals

This year Animalearn is pleased to recognize Laura Streminsky as one of the Humane Students of the Year. She exemplifies a commitment to helping animals used in science education.

Animalearn learned about Streminsky, a biology major at Stony Brook University, earlier this year in an article entitled “Student’s views dubbed “extreme” by biology professor,” in her school newspaper, The Statesman. Streminsky had voiced her ethical opposition to dissecting a rat and live earthworm in her biology class in early 2022. Her request for an alternative assignment was met with resistance by faculty. She was labeled as extremist, culturally insensitive, and advised that her grade would be negatively impacted if she did not participate in the dissections.

“As someone who aspires for a career in medicine, I’m repeatedly told that my ability to treat patients is hindered by my refusal to exploit animals,” Streminsky explained. “In response, I say that I’m

concerned about any medical professional who doesn’t have any reservations in hurting another sentient being. The ultimate goal of medicine (and science in general) should be to minimize suffering in the world as much as possible.”

As founder of her high school’s animal rights group, Streminsky has been advocating on behalf of animals for many years. Ultimately, she was allowed to opt out of the dissections without penalty to her grade. She is now looking into forming an animal rights group at Stony Brook, which would be the first of its kind at the university.

“This award shows me that I’m supported in my effort to advocate for animals, despite the resistance I’ve received from people who are ok with the status quo,” Streminsky said. “The encouragement I’ve received from Animalearn has made me more motivated than ever to continue standing up for animals and for humane science education.”

“As educators are aware, the future is

in the classroom. With more and more humane students like Laura, I look forward to the future that they are creating for all sentient beings,” said Alisa Brooks, Assistant Director of Animalearn.

As part of the award, Streminsky

will receive Dissection Action Packs from Animalearn to assist in furthering their pursuit of humane science education for all.

Federal Student Loan Payment Pause Extended

On Dec. 22, the Office of Federal Student Aid at U.S. Department of Education sent this letter to students with Federal Student Loans with an update on the loan repayment pause plan:

“As we previously announced, we have extended the pause on federal student loan payments. You will NOT have to make your loan payments that would have been restarted in January.

“Why are we extending the pause? Because earlier this year, the Biden-Harris Administration announced a student debt relief plan for working and middle-class borrowers. Millions of Americans applied and were found to be eligible for relief. But lawsuits challenged the program and froze our ability to finalize debt relief.

“We are confident that our program is legal and have asked the Supreme Court to allow us to move forward with providing debt relief to tens of millions of eligible Americans. The Supreme Court

agreed to take our case and will hear arguments this February.

“Targeted student debt relief addresses the financial harms of the pandemic, helps smooth borrowers’ transition back to repayment and helps borrowers at highest risk of delinquencies or default once payments resume. And while litigation is preventing us from providing the relief needed to avoid these harms, we don’t think it is right to ask borrowers to pay on loans they wouldn’t have to pay were it not for the lawsuits challenging the program. Millions of borrowers would be making payments they may not owe, or payments that are higher than they should be, under the Biden-Harris debt relief plan. That’s not fair.

“As a result, we have extended the pause on federal student loan payments, interest, and collections. The pause will end 60 days after the Supreme Court makes a decision on the case. If no decision has been made by June 30, 2023, payments will resume 60 days after that.

“We will notify you directly before

payments restart.

“Visit StudentAid.gov/coronavirus regularly for the latest information on the payment pause and other COVID-19 relief.”

Beware Of Scams

You might be contacted by a company saying they will help you get loan discharge, forgiveness, cancellation, or debt relief for a fee. You never have to pay for help with your federal student aid. Make sure you work only with the U.S.

Department of Education and our loan servicers, and never reveal your personal information or account password to anyone.

Emails to borrowers come from noreply@studentaid.gov, noreply@ debtrelief.studentaid.gov, or ed.gov@ public.govdelivery.com. You can report scam attempts to the Federal Trade Commission by calling 1-877-382-4357 or by visiting reportfraud.ftc.gov.

BOOK TALK

Tales From The Baby Bust Review Of: I Walk Between the Raindrops

JOSEPH SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

Is T.C. Boyle his generation’s answer to John Updike? From 1979, when he published his first book, Descent of Man onward, the man has published up to 30 volumes of fiction, divided between novels and short stories. I’ll plead ignorance to those books. Decades ago, John Aldridge, writing in Sewanee Review, the literary quarterly I once revered over all others, dismissed Boyle and Donald Barthelme as “fabulists,” mere technicians and talents at all.

Boyle is a born storyteller. He has not wasted his gifts. I Walk Between the Raindrops is a bleak collection. Updike was the novelist for the Baby Boom, that era from 1945 to 1972, when childbirth among married, twenty-something women was as natural as coffee and toast in the morning. In 1955, for instance, half of all American women, by the time they reached 20 years old, were married. That year also saw the greatest number of live births in American history.

Is Boyle a novelist for the Baby Bust? It probably isn’t his intent. Still, the characters in this collection do live atomistic lives. Do any of them have parents, siblings, grandparents, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins? I read this collection after a reappraisal of Mario Puzo’s 1964 novel, The Fortunate Pilgrim. In that concise classic, family was everything. A mother of six who has lost two husbands has to carry on. It’s the Angluzzi-Corbo family against the world. Heartache after heartache ensues, but the family matron, Lucia Santa, keeps the family together with undying love. The escape from Hell’s Kitchen to Long Island proves successful.

In these stories, characters seem to live meaningless lives. In “What’s Love Got To Do With It?,” a college student, who has but one friend in his world---and no family to speak of, is rebuffed by a blonde co-ed. Does this mean you shoot up the campus---and yourself?

In the title story, a middle-aged retiree with plenty of money trolls a roadside bar in rural Arizona. He makes eye contact with a desperate thirty-something single woman. Brandon who is married and childless, rebuffs Serena’s advances. His

wife comes into the bar. Serena promptly lies down in front of the railroad tracks. See what you get by straying from home and hearth?

On it goes. In “These Are The Circumstances,” a California man, married to a nature-loving woman, is bitten by a snake. The end of the line? The man, Nick, discovers that he is free of a life-threatening disease. Nick and Laurel celebrate with gourmet pizza and a bottle of Chianti. They, too, are childless and well-to-do. The reader is glad, but how bad was the scare?

In “The Shape Of A Teardrop,” an undergraduate named Justin impregnates Lorena, a Latina co-ed. Seven years on, the man still lives at home. His parents, who have no other children, have him evicted. The mother of his child hangs around, hoping that the father graduates into adulthood. No chance. Justin’s mother always wanted children. At age 41, she became pregnant with her only son. And so, the mother loves her son despite his perpetual adolescence. She will spoil him forever. You can’t feel for Justin, but you can have sympathy for the luckless Lorena.

Boyle’s well-honed skills can have devastating effects. The purpose of fiction is always the search for the humane. The author scores with “Dog Lab,” in which a medical student saves a canine from further lab experiences. “Big Mary” is my favorite. A guitarist and a bass player

T.C. Boyle

compete for the same girl, a blues singer who lights up the band. The guitarist, whom the reader roots for, has the girl and then loses her to a bassist, a middle-class black man who pretends to be a “Rastaman.” This wins over the singer. The guitarist doesn’t back down. The two men square off, haymakers both ways. The bar crowd, rough hewn workingmen grows to dislike Mary’s choice. More trouble. For the guitarist, however, the fight is strictly over a girl. He must fight the man who takes her away.

Back to the original question: Is Boyle is generation’s answer to John Updike?

Updike’s world often involves family men who stray from hearth and home before seeing the light and making up with the broken family they created in the first place. These characters have no extended family to lean on. And so, the abyss beckons try as their characters believe they can avoid it.

North Shore Land Alliance Protects Water With Hydro-Action Septic Technology

The North Shore Land Alliance is leading the charge by installing a new, eco-conscious Hydro-Action clean water septic system at their newly remodeled headquarters at the Humes Preserve in Mill Neck. This was made possible by a generous donation from Wastewater Works, Inc. for the system, and grant from Nassau County’s SEPTIC program for the installation.

By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You believe in the importance of helping others, but while you’re chasing after something you want, your philanthropic instincts move to the back burner. It’s OK! Generosity begins at home! Many a noble accomplishment begins with satisfying one’s own hunger.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). E ective communication has to do with the way you convey information as much as it does the information itself. You’ll gure out the main point and cater the tone of your delivery to what you guess the audience would be most receptive to. You’re so good at this and will often get exactly what you want.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). “Sorcery” derives from the Latin word “sors,” meaning fate. Your determined e orts to in uence fate will have you coming across as magical. Only you know all that’s involved in overnight success and instant transformation. Unless you tell them, they’ll have no idea how hard you work to make it look easy.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). An engaging project dominates your week. ough you’ve often been lauded for your originality, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel with this one. Instead of starting from scratch, use what already exists and give it a twist or an improvement. A fresh turn on an old way of doing things will be lucrative.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You celebrate people for who they are and how they show up even when it’s di erent from the way you would do it. Some are sweet and agreeable; others are edgy and real. Neither is more correct. You accept and include a wide array of personalities. It’s part of what makes your team so strong. You’ll win together this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A hitchhiker who is walking toward their destination is more likely to be picked up than one who is standing still with a sign. While hitchhiking is not advised, moving toward your purpose is absolutely the way to attract fellow travelers who can help you get there faster.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). ere are things that look nice from the outside -- a boat, marriage to royalty, a pony -- that are actually a lot more work than appearances suggest. Enjoy your fantasies without feeling you must move to make all of them real. e worthwhile pursuits will make your life easier, not more complicated.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It may be di cult to admit how much a certain someone’s opinion matters to you, but once you accept it and examine your reasoning behind needing this validation, it becomes less true. is is just another puzzle to solve on your road to self-love, acceptance and realization.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. Even so, it only takes one to practice the tango steps. You can work on the steps alone to get ready for dancing with a partner. Your solo preparation will be the magic ingredient that makes a relationship dance beautifully this week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What you thought would be an easy task has become convoluted. If you have a mind full of question marks, it’s probably because you’re considering the topic more broadly or deeply than the others, and you are probably wise to do so. Only the very young or very immature think they know everything.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). True friends will re ect to you your best qualities. If being around a person leaves you feeling somehow diminished, it’s not a good match. What seems good on paper is meaningless. What matters is how you feel when you’re together.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re not interested in getting pro cient at the task; you want to master it. With that intent, you will. It happens little by little over time. Rearrange your schedule and environment to accommodate your passion. Getting in a few more repetitions per day will add up and just may be what puts you over the top.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Some miss the forest for the trees, but not you. Your mind has the amazing versatility of satellite imaging, and you’ll see the scene from the distance that helps you get clarity on the moment. You see the forest, you see the trees, the mushroom, the swallow, the mountain, valley, river, ocean and beyond. You’ll have insights and revelations about your relationships as well as ideas for creating truly special times, healthful routines and opportunities for building bonds of mutual support.

and returns another heart, which you take with the ace. At this point you inaugurate a campaign to learn all you possibly can about the distribution of the unseen cards.

The first thing you do is cash dummy’s king of hearts, on which East discards a diamond. Next, you cash the Q-J of diamonds, on which West discards a heart. Both of these moves prove enlightening, because you learn that West started with five hearts and two diamonds, and that East started with two hearts and five diamonds.

You next cash the Q-K-A of spades, and when West discards a heart on the third spade, you have all the information you need to wrap up the slam. West started with exactly five hearts, two spades and two diamonds, so he must have been dealt precisely four clubs.

Taking advantage of this knowledge is as easy as pie. You cash dummy’s king of clubs, lead a low club to your ace and return a third club toward dummy’s Q-10. When West follows low, you finesse the

Rabbi Levenson Appointed To Town Of Oyster Bay’s Independent Ethics Board

Continuing their ongoing commitment to increase transparency and ethics in the Town of Oyster Bay, Supervisor Joseph Saladino and members of the Town Board recently appointed Rabbi Dr. Joel Levenson to the Town of Oyster Bay’s Board of Ethics.

“We welcome Rabbi Levenson to the Board of Ethics and thank him for volunteering the time needed to best serve the public,” said Supervisor Saladino. “The Town Board of Ethics helps advance accountability and transparency in government, and this independent group of wonderful individuals will continue to help the

Town in our ongoing pledge to maintain the highest level of ethics in government.”

Rabbi Dr. Levenson serves a wide spectrum of populations, handling pastoral needs as well as dynamic programs for diverse groups, including young families, teens, preschool, and empty nesters at the Midway Jewish Center in Syosset. A Chaplain with the New York National Guard, Rabbi Dr. Levenson earned a doctorate in Pastoral Care & Counseling from the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion and was ordained at the Jewish Theological Seminary, where he also received a Masters Degree in Jewish

Education. He earned a B.A. from Miami University in Oxford, OH with degrees in psychology and political science, with studies abroad at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is a former president of the Long Island Board of Rabbis. Rabbi Dr. Levenson and his wife, Leora Cohen, are proud parents of three wonderful children: Shir, Sam and Gideon.

Ethics reforms have been a priority of the Saladino administration. In fact, the rules governing the Town of Oyster Bay Ethics Board were enhanced by Supervisor Saladino and the Town Board to provide real and meaningful oversight. In addition to re-

viewing financial disclosure statements, the board works to provide clear and reasonable standards of ethical conduct to officers and employees of the town. Together, the Town Board and supervisor have also instituted disclosure requirements for contractors, vendors and high-level employees to prevent conflicts of interest and misdeeds. An individual who previously worked with the FBI, CIA and DEA was hired to serve as Long Island’s and the town’s first-ever inspector general to protect the wallets of taxpayers by overseeing contracts and procurement.

Residents Reminded To Turn ‘Trash Into Cash’

Glass products returning to town recycling stream

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino joined his colleagues in town government Councilman Lou Imbroto, Councilwoman Laura Maier and Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato to bring good news to town residents who receive town recycling collection. Beginning in January, the town will return glass to its recycling collection, allowing residents to place plastics, metals and glass all in their yellow collection pail. In addition, officials reminded residents to help turn ‘trash into cash’ by recycling

cardboard, which should be bundled and placed beside recycling containers on collection day. The town receives a rebate for cardboard recycling, which directly benefits residents.

Supervisor Saladino said, “Residents can help protect the environment and turn trash into cash by recycling glass and cardboard boxes on their regular recycling collection day. In addition to expanding the recycling program to include additional types of plastic, we will also return glass to the recycling stream. The Town of Oyster Bay is commit-

Lee D. Hines, born July 5, 1938, passed away on December 31, 2022, after a brief battle with Covid. Born to Arch Hines and Margaret Laderer in Queens, NY, Lee grew up in Lynbrook, NY where he was a graduate of Lynbrook Senior High School. Lee attended Lehigh University and enrolled in the Air Force. Upon his discharge from the military, Lee was an advertising executive with BBDO followed by Ted Bates Worldwide, both in Manhattan, NY, for more than 30 years.

Lee and his wife of 64 years, Virginia DeWolf Hines, raised their family in Port Washington, NY, where they were active in local and church activities.

A private funeral service has been arranged for immediate family members.

In lieu of flowers, Lee Hines’ family requests that donations be made to: Grace Cottage Hospital, 185 Grafton Road, Townshend, VT 05353

Officials also reminded residents to bundle their cardboard and paper products beside their yellow recycling pail, either

broken down and placed inside a larger box or bundled with string. Residents can expect to see individual pickups for these items, with separate collections for cardboard from other recycling.

Michelle Obama’s Portrait Artist Recognized By Assemblyman Lavine And Senator Gaughran

Alocal artist who painted the official portrait of former First Lady Michelle Obama, is recognized by two prominent North Shore elected officials. Assemblymember Charles Lavine (D-Glen Cove) and Senator James Gaughran (D-Northport) visited the Brooklyn studio of Glen Cove native Sharon Sprung to present a joint proclamation in recognition of her incredible achievement.

The honor comes as Sprung’s masterful artwork hangs in permanent display on a White House wall after being unveiled in September.

Sprung believes her upbringing in Glen Cove was a major factor in her being selected for the prestigious honor.

Lavine is proud of Sprung’s connection to the city he loves so dearly.

“This is hometown pride,” Lavine said.

“That’s what Glen Cove is all about. Sharon is a remarkably talented artist. I am so proud of what she has accomplished and that she represents the diversity of the community.”

Gaughran felt privileged to meet the artist.

“It is certainly an honor to meet Sharon,” Gaughran said. “She is an inspiration for so many people. Hopefully there will be some young women or men who will hear about her story and blossom into this themselves.”

Sprung is keeping very busy in the aftermath of the unveiling. In addition to teaching at the Art Students League of New York City, she is working on various current projects with several more planned after that.

Bob Keller will be remembered most as someone who was sharing and selfless. He had many interests, all of which he pursued with passion, but he would experience the greatest joy when sharing these with his family, no matter how much extra time and effort was required. The first time Bob went skiing he fell in love, and soon passed this love on to his wife, Susan. When Bob and Susan decided to start a family, they built a

house near his favorite ski mountain so that he could pass down his love of skiing to his two sons. He would drive his entire family up from Long Island every weekend during the winter season, and spend his time teaching his children how to ski, picking them up over and over every time they fell. His sons developed a passion for ski racing, and Bob would drive them all over the country to different events and stand in the freezing cold at the finish line, cheering them on.

His love of the outdoors was not limited to cold temperatures; after Bob graduated from Bucknell University he spent the next several months backpacking and hiking throughout the entire Western region of the United States. This was such an inspiring experience that he resolved to visit every National Park, and vacations to the wild forests and mountains soon became a family tradition. Every summer he would take three weeks off and travel to new places with his family, and together they would experience everything that nature had to offer. When he was younger Bob would go to rock concerts, seeing bands live such as Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, and The Who, staying up all night for encore after encore. He also loved to read; his incredible collection of books spanning hundreds of authors, from Tolkien and Asimov to Tolstoy and Shakespeare. During the long road trips between National Parks and ski mountains, the miles would fly by while listening to CD’s of his favorite rock bands, and reading books from his library.

Robbery At Glen Cove CVS

On Dec. 17, at approximately 9 p.m., the Glen Cove CVS located at 201 Glen St. was robbed.
