Where Do We Go From Here?

Former Congressional candidate evaluates what we can learn from Santos’ election

LAUREN FELDMAN

editors@antonmediagroup.com

Recently, an abundance of fraudulent claims by congressman-elect George Santos have come to light, sparking important conversations around political honesty and accountability. On Monday, Dec. 26, former Congressional candidate Melanie D’Arrigo for NY-3 interviewed with former Legislative candidate Rae Arora to discuss some key flaws in the ordeal, and what larger implications might be for the Democratic party of New York.

D’Arrigo was shocked and disappointed on behalf of NY-3, a constituency which includes Plainview, Bethpage, Hicksville, Farmingdale, and Massapequa Park. “I’m very sad for my district,” she said. “You know, we’ve become the laughingstock of the country, and that’s really unfortunate because it’s a wonderful district with amazing people. And I think we’ve got our work cut out for us over the next couple of years to rebuild and reengage voters and figure out what went right and what went wrong.”

The Problems:

Perhaps the biggest source of confusion is the apparent negligence of both parties in candidate research. When followed up with in an additional interview, D’Arrigo stated, “If I were a Republican, I would feel betrayed that the party supported a candidate with so little respect for the district. That he lied to our faces and, ultimately, all the way into office. As a Democrat, I am astonished that no opposition research was done by the Democratic campaign. What we haven’t seen is either party nor campaign team take any responsibility for these blunders. In such highly polarized times, accountability is so important. Without it, the electorate will continue to fracture and lose trust in our government.”

However, D’Arrigo points out the challenges that come with running a campaign, including resource shortages, and a lack of support from the party, which sometimes make candidate or opposition research difficult. “What the average person may not realize is that running a campaign is akin to running a business, except everything needs to be up and running on day one,” she describes. “It often feels like you are building the track as the train is chugging along.” There is also a lot of mystery surrounding the process, from filing to become a candidate and FEC-regulations, to building a team and a campaign strategy. “There is a lot of work to be done in a short period of time with little room for error.”

Part of this struggle stems from how much (or little) a campaign receives party support. D’Arrigo comments on her experience, “…as someone who has been around many campaigns, if you’ve worked on a campaign or you

were heavily involved in volunteering for a campaign, you know it’s widely accepted that there is very little support from the party. Little-to-non-existent support, I would say.” She believes that if our communities want meaningful representation in government, strengthening infrastructure is an important first step. This entails building a bench of local campaign staffers, demystifying the electoral process, creating new funding resources, training candidates and inviting more of our communities to be part of the process. Despite this seemingly long list, D’Arrigo is hopeful about the process. “The good news is that we have incredible opportunities for improvement. The party has a huge role to play. The responsibility to grow and energize the party lies with them.”

The Local Democratic Party: Arora also asked the former Congressional candidate about her sense of local parties, such as the Nassau County Democratic Committee, or NCDC.

“On paper, we have a party system that should theoretically work,” she said. But the former Congressional candidate pointed to several structural inconsistencies which have impacted the party’s ability to present as unified and appealing to potential voters. In her role as a Nassau Countee committee person, D’Arrigo notes her lack of expected responsibilities. “I don’t get asked anything other than to come to two expensive fundraisers every year, I get asked to go collect signatures, and then I get asked if someone can take my proxy to vote.” She recalled that when the state party voted on their platform, many committee personnel gave their proxies, and did not themselves attend, which did not sit right with D’Arrigo. “I think you shouldn’t be on the state committee if you’re not going to go to the meetings,” she said.

Furthermore, communication issues cause sparse amounts of information to be passed along between party members. D’Arrigo says, “What is deeply troubling to me is when I ask questions of my zone leader, and she says ‘Oh, that’s a good question, let me raise it up the flagpole!’ she can’t get the answers to them. So when I say well, who’s running? ‘I don’t know.’” The average committee member is, to her chagrin, kept in the dark, and unaware of what is really going on. “We don’t hear from the chairman very often, and it’s unfortunate.”

There is also very little social content emerging for or from the party, D’Arrigo points out. “We live in a very social world right now where everyone is glued to their social media. I very rarely see anything shared by the committee.” This was concurred by Arora, who expressed dissatisfaction at the amount – or lack thereof – of information available to potential voters. “If you went to the NCDC [website] before the election,” he said, “you wouldn’t be able to find biographies on any of [the Democratic] candidates. And this is the pattern for the last few elections.”

Even more broadly, D’Arrigo worries that the party no longer has a clear and consistent sense of self. “It’s bigger than getting behind a specific candidate. The democratic party has always been a big tent party, but I think we are dangerously close to becoming so big that we don’t know who we are anymore... Why would anyone join a political party that doesn’t seem to know what it stands for? Young voters don’t get enough credit. They are smart and look at the issues facing our country with a very different and very personal perspective… And when we don’t explicitly define what we stand for, we can’t expect young people to support those who are legislating against their best interests and jeopardizing their future. It’s not a Democrat or Republican problem. It’s a political corruption problem. It’s not only affecting young voters, but minority voters and women as well. We can’t expect voting blocks to come out if we are not giving them something explicit to vote for.”

Young Voters Ostracized:

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in young voters registering with neither major party, and instead as independent. D’Arrigo is not surprised “They’re registering as blanks, because they think it’s nonsense. And they’re right to think that!... Politicians on both sides of the aisle take money from the industries they regulate. It is our politicians who decide how we spend our budget. Young voters are watching our government reward those that give the most money to their campaigns at the expense of regular citizens. How can young people compete with ExxonMobil, Raytheon, United Healthcare and the big banks on Wall Street?” She warns that, unless something changes, both parties can expect to see further alienation of voters. “This is a time to build bridges. We do that through accountability, transparency and by passing legislation that speaks to the needs of our communities. Voters can forgive mistakes, but denying any wrongdoing whether intentional or unintentional erodes trust. Accountability is not one sided, it must be a principle we all adhere to.”

Hospital Director Speaks On ‘Triple-Demic’

How to stay safe this winter

to take care of it.

You may or may not have heard the word “triple-demic” floating around.

What makes up the triple-demic is COVID-19, the bane of everyone’s existence for the past three years, the flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and they’ve been overwhelming many hospitals. RSV, according to Yale Medicine, is a highly contagious respiratory virus that causes cold symptoms. Most children are exposed to RSV by the time they turn two-years-old, but because of COVID-19 restrictions, many young children haven’t been exposed to the virus, until now, since COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted and people are more comfortable congregating without wearing masks.

Dr. Thomas Murray, a Yale Medicine pediatric infectious diseases physician, said that this is not a new virus and health care providers know exactly how

“Right now, the problem really is just the volume of sick children,” said Dr. Murray. “Kids can get quite sick from it, but we know how to help them. Children are admitted to the hospital for extra oxygen or other supportive measures such as positive pressure to help with breathing and keep the lungs open.”

So what happens when you combine the flu, COVID-19 and RSV in one season? On Dec. 20, there was 5,122 new cases of COVID-19, 52,940 cases of the flu in the week ending in Dec. 10 and an average of approximately 439 detections of RSV over five weeks late last year.

“I would say that last week it was busier,” said Dr. Bradley Sherman, an internist who is the medical director and chair of department of medicine at Glen Cove Hospital. The Glen Cove Oyster Bay Record Pilot spoke with Dr. Sherman on Dec. 20. “Our emergency room volume and hospital volume has definitely been higher. We have definitely seen roughly around 10 to 15 COVID-19 patients that are in the hospital, but that’s not a high number. It’s a little bit higher than it’s been, but not a very high number

compared to where we’ve been. But we are seeing a lot of people that are having a lot of respiratory infections, whether it be... flu or COVID. RSV we’re seeing some of, but not a lot of. I think a lot of the RSV patients tend to be children requiring hospitalization.”

Dr. Sherman said that compared to recent late fall and early winter seasons, the overall hospital volume has been higher, but he attributes that rate to more people using and embracing Glen Cove Hospital rather than the viruses that are floating around.

When it comes to people that are feeling sick with a respiratory illness, Dr. Sherman recommends going to the hospital if they already have pre-existing conditions and/or if they are having trouble breathing or are feeling chest pains.

“But at the very least, when they are feeling sick and are looking for medical attention, they should speak to their doctor first,” Dr. Sherman asked.

And of course there’s that conundrum that everyone has faced at least once during this pandemic: “is this COVID-19, the flu or just a cold?” The Glen Cove Oyster Bay Record Pilot had to ask Dr. Sherman how people can differentiate the multiple respiratory viruses floating around.

“It’s difficult because the symptoms are similar,” Dr. Sherman said. “The real way to differentiate is through testing and see which ones of those you do have. But if your symptoms are mild it may not require doing that. Because most times when symptoms are mild for any virus, they tend to get better with over the counter supportive care, like flu medicines or cough or cold medicines.”

COVID-19 does not only come with the risk of illness, hospitalization or death, there’s also the risk of Long COVID.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention defines Long COVID as “a wide range of new, returning, or ongoing health problems that people experience after being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19.”

Most people with COVID-19 get better within a few days or weeks after infections, meaning that Long COVID conditions could first be identified four weeks after infection. There is no test that determines if one’s symptoms or conditions are due to COVID-19, as Long COVID conditions are not one illness. Healthcare providers often consider a diagnosis of Long COVID conditions based on one’s health history, including if someone’s had a positive COVID-19 test.

Symptoms of Long COVID include

tiredness or fatigue that interferes with daily life, symptoms that get worse after physical or mental effort (also known as “post-exertional malaise”), fever, respiratory and heart symptoms, neurological symptoms, digestive symptoms and joint or muscle pain, rash or changes in menstrual cycles. Some people with Long COVID conditions may develop or continue to have symptoms that are hard to explain and manage, often similar to those reported by people with ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome) and other poorly understood chronic illnesses that may occur after other infections.

According to the CDC, nearly one in five adults who have had COVID-19 have experienced “Long COVID.”

“I tend to see some patients with Long COVID in my internal medical practice more than in the hospital itself,” Dr. Sherman said. “It’s a small minority, but there are some patients that have prolonged symptoms.”

As of right now, Dr. Sherman said, treatment is supportive care of their symptoms, but there are not a lot of long term treatments that are out there.

And as people gather inside more often because of the colder weather outside, Dr. Sherman recommends aggressive hand washing, wearing a mask when possible, especially in crowded areas, and getting the COVID-19 and flu vaccine.

“This year, overall, the number of people requiring hospitalization is lower than it’s been in the last couple of years,” Dr. Sherman said. “I think people should be cautious. Get yourself vaccinated. But in itself, you should not be panicked in terms of doing your social activities.”

Plainview Water District Thanks The POB Community For Support In Toys For Tots Drive

PWD Successfully Collects Donations for Toys for Tots with the Help of the Local Community

The Plainview-Old Bethpage community once again showed its generosity by contributing to the toy drive at the Plainview Water District. As it has done in years past, the Plainview Water District partnered with the Toys for Tot’s Foundation, sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. The District headquarters serves as an official drop-off location for the foundation and collected more than 100 toys this year.

“It really warms our hearts to see this level of participation and the generosity of those who live within this great community,” said Plainview Water District Chairman Marc Laykind. “The Plainview-Old Bethpage residents always do their part to help out and participate in these great events. These contributions are going to make this holiday season more enjoyable for so many people, and that is what this effort and this time of year is all about.”

The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve ‘Toys for Tots’ Foundation is a nonprofit organization that aims to provide all children across the United States with happiness and joy throughout the holiday season. Through the

gift of a new toy, disadvantaged children will not be overlooked during the holidays, and will know that a community of people cares for them.

“We are grateful for the community’s continued support in these efforts each year,” said PWD Commissioner Andrew Bader.

“The PWD is thrilled to continue to take part in these important causes like this and help out in any way possible. Thanks to the loving spirit of the POB community, there will be many kids with smiles on their faces this holiday season.”

BETHPAGE STUDENTS STRENGTHEN THEIR COMPUTER SCIENCE SKILLS DURING HOUR OF CODE

Elementary students throughout the Bethpage Union Free School District put their coding skills to the test during the district’s seventh annual Hour of Code event on Dec. 22. All students in grades 3-5 from Central Boulevard, Charles Campagne and Kramer Lane elementary schools participated in their classrooms with the help of some special guests over a live broadcast.

Superintendent of Schools Dave Schneider, Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Michael Spence, Director of Technology Andrew Choi and members of the Bethpage High School Robotics Team, Regal Eagles, guided the classes through the coding event through a live broadcast

inside Bethpage High School. Using their Google Chromebooks, the elementary students completed exercises and had the opportunity to code their own Minecraft game. Throughout the event, they were able to ask questions through Google Classroom which were answered by one of the administrators or Regal Eagles members through the live broadcast.

The hour-long event was a great way to introduce students to the world of computer science in a fun and inviting way and brought the Bethpage school community together.

WISDOM LANE STUDENTS TAKE ART TO A NEW DIMENSION

Students at Wisdom Lane Middle School in the Levittown School Public District are flexing their art skills in Claudia Entin’s and Stephanie Mazza’s classes by creating and portraying three-dimensional objects. Now on display in the school’s art showcase are the latest eye-catching works by students. One set of projects feature cubes with colorful pop art on each of its six sides, resulting in a wide variety of complex

patterns, such as optical illusions that trick the eye. They learned how a work of art can transform and become something new when brought into the third dimension. Sixth graders took on the challenging task of rendering a realistic drawing of a physical object. Using pears as their subjects, students captured every curve and shadow in a series of drawings.

Nassau County Legislators Rose Marie Walker and James Kennedy recently joined with Farmingdale School District officials, parents, and children for the dedication of the new Woodward Parkway Elementary School playground. Funding for the playground, which totaled $220,000, was obtained by Legislators Walker and Kennedy through the County’s Community Revitalization Program (CRP).

“One of the most important investments we can make is in our children,” Legislator Walker said. “Allocating county dollars to provide projects that enhance our schools, parks and open

spaces has always been a priority that will pay dividends to residents of all ages. I’m happy I was able to partner with Legislator Kennedy in delivering for our Farmingdale community.”

“I am pleased to partner with Legislator Walker to obtain the funding that allowed this project to come to fruition,” Legislator Kennedy said. This playground was nearly two decades old and needed to be upgraded. Now, youngsters throughout the community will enjoy this state-of-the-art facility for years to come.”

Diocese Of Rockville Centre Names New Chief Human Resources Officer

The Diocese of Rockville Centre named Allison Cannon, Chief Human Resources Officer. Cannon assumed her new position on January 9, 2023.

Cannon, who was most recently Chief Administrative Officer at Quality in Real Time, will lead the diocesan human resources team.

Based in the Diocesan HR offices in Hicksville on the grounds of Holy Trinity Diocesan High School, Cannon will join the Diocesan Senior Operations Team that advises Bishop Barres and diocesan leadership on temporal issues regarding diocesan operations.

“Allison’s broad and deep HR experience is a critical capability that will serve the diocese well now and into the future,” said Father Eric Fasano, Vicar General, Diocese of Rockville Centre.

Cannon joins the diocese from Quality in Real Time, one of the largest coding, billing and consulting providers in the U.S. for the post-acute healthcare industry. Here she developed and led the human resource division for this fast-growing company, which was later acquired in 2020. Cannon worked on the post-acquisition of the two companies in the areas of employee integration, culture integration and retention during that period. During her years with Quality in Real Time, Cannon was responsible for developing and maintaining the strategic people plan for the company as well as for all HR matters including benefit management, recruitment and retention, onboarding, compensation and performance analysis, succession planning, training and development and employee engagement and relationships.

“I am extremely grateful to Bishop Barres

and his team for this opportunity,” said Cannon. “My faith has been an important part of my life and the opportunity to serve the Diocese of Rockville Centre is both humbling and exciting,” said Cannon. “The continued success of the diocese is due to the excellent, committed, passionate and engaged people who work for it, and I look forward to getting to know and support all throughout the diocese.”

Previously, Cannon worked for nine years at St. John’s University in its legal division. There, she worked on HR investigations and complaints, employee and union matters, collective bargaining negotiations and policy development.

Cannon is a graduate of the University of Albany and holds a Master’s in government and politics with a concentration in public administration from St. John’s University.

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!

Eight New Year’s Resolutions for Parents

All of us have experienced unprecedented challenges in the last three years, resulting in heightened levels of anxiety and stress. So much is out of our control, and that can feel overwhelming. But there are steps you can take to safeguard your wellbeing and that of your family.

As you welcome in 2023, take the opportunity to put into place some of these eight resolutions to start the New Year off right.

1

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

New Years Jam At Buddha Jams Antigone Rising performs in concert benefiting Girls Rising

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.

What does homeowners insurance cover?

As winter storms threaten many areas of the country, Insurance. com reminds homeowners and renters that it’s also a good time to double-check insurance policies to confirm what is covered should snow and ice cause damage.

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. The HydroAction septic system will remove harmful chemicals like nitrogen from wastewater ultimately protecting our bays, harbors, and sole source aquifer.

The North Shore Land Alliance is dedicated to the conservation and stewardship of Long Island’s natural and historic lands, waters, and environmental resources. Through education, outreach and volunteerism, the Land Alliance aspires to connect people to nature and build a community conservation ethic.

Residents are cordially invited to view headquarters this February. When visiting you can also check out

the Land Alliance’s clean water septic system as well as the state-of-the-art, carbon-minimizing geothermal energy system. Stormwater runoff preventing rain gardens to follow this spring.

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.

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

Please read the Summons and Complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

SPORTS High School Boys Basketball Preview

MacArthur, Division, Island Trees look to rebound

JAMES ROWAN

editors@antonmediagroup.com

If there is a theme to the 2022-2023 boys basketball season for MacArthur, Division and Island Trees - it would be unfinished business.

The MacArthur Generals are led by thirdcoach Brian Maini, who, by the way, was a standout player at Division and a former coach for the Blue Dragons.

Last season, Maini’s Generals started off 0-8. But MacArthur rallied and came within one shot of qualifying for the playoffs. The season ended with a heartbreaking loss to conference champion New Hyde Park. Maini is optimistic the team will build of that late-season surge. He has two returning starters - Sebastian Loor and Sonny D’Errico.

“This a great group of athletes that carries the same resilience as last year’s team,” said Maini. “There are a lot of new faces to the team and we’ve been down a key player due to injury our first five games. We have great leadership and chemistry on and off the court and plan on competing for a playoff spot once again.”

Loo is a sharp-shooting guard who is threat from beyond the three-point line. D’Errico is a slashing forward who has a knack for getting to the basket and converting. The Generals will also get contributions from Sophomore Michael Kondyra. Kondyra is a 6-1 guard who can impact the game from anywhere on the floor. The team will also rely heavily on juniors Dylan Labonte and Eric Sharp as well as seniors Tyler Behr and Patrick Cheswick.

The Generals are in the same Conference A1 as last season and have already notched three wins. Kondyra is averaging 17 points per game, Loor is at 14.8 and D’Errico is at 10.2 points per game,

“The conference looks to be very similar to last season: competitive and wide open,” said Maini. “Jericho, Calhoun, and Great Neck South will be tough matchups for any team to play but anyone can be beaten on any given night. It is going to be a very fun and exciting finish for all - hopefully with a playoff birth for the Generals.”

The Blue Dragons are already well

ahead of last year’s output. They notched just two victories last season but have already won five games thus far.

“This season we have a lot of returning players that are extremely hard workers and are absolute pleasure to coach,” said Division coach Jordan Dasch. “Our expectation is to be a playoff team. Last season we only had 2 wins. Through our first 10 games this season we already have 5 wins with 10 games remaining of a 20-game schedule.”

The Blue Dragons have four returning starters: Alessandro Giacomarra, Cody Brush, Tyler Diez, Dylan Torres.

Dasch expects big things from his core four.

“Alessandro Giacomarra and Tyler Diez are returning AllConference players,” Dasch said. “In addition to them I expect Cody Brush, Jack Gillis, Dylan Torres, Kaolis Delacruz and Jake LaRocca to be big contributors.”

The Blue Dragons are in Conference A3 and are primed for a playoff run.

“We will be a very competitive conference with a lot talented teams,” said Dasch. “Top team has to be Manhasset. They are the defending State Champions and they return a lot of their top

The Island Trees Bulldogs

are in Conference A5. Last year’s assistant coach Matt Schultz takes over the reigns for Michael Wimmer, who posted a 10-win season. The Bulldogs have already notched two victories this year, including a 50-48 squeaker over MacArthur.

“Our team is a young gritty team that has athletes who will be the foundation this year,” said Schultz. “Many new players will step up into larger roles and be relied on.”

Island Trees will certainly be relying on returning starters Joseph Meyer (guard) and Nick Saragossi (center), both of whom are seniors.

“Meyer will lead us on the offensive side of the ball,” said Schultz. “He is a talented guard who can score in multiple ways. He can stretch a defense beyond the three-point line and has the ability to put pressure on the defense by attacking the rim.”

Of Saragossi, Schultz added: “Nick is a returning starter who will lead us on the defensive end. He is the voice of the defense and his experience will help anchor the other players. Nick provides great energy and positivity for our team.”

Other key contributors for the Bulldogs will be: Richie Montalvo, Matthew Guevara, Kian McCoy and Sahij Dhami.

The conference returns some strong teams for the 2021-22 season.

“Our conference is a great test this year,” said Schultz. “There are some talented teams who return many starters. Friends Academy and Clarke both had successful seasons and will be a great challenge throughout the year. You can never count out North Shore and Lawrence as well, they always compete and provide a challenge. We look forward to these challenges and are excited for league play.”
