After seeing how poorly the county executive ran her reassessment program, the Majority will do everything in our power to improve the distribution of these payments.” Asked by Anton Media Group why the Republicans ultimately chose to back Curran’s plan, Legislator Steve Rhoads (R–Bellmore) replied, “We don’t want to stand in the way of relief being delivered to residents. So even though we questioned how many residents will actually be applying for it and we questioned the administration’s ability to deliver on that promise, if there is an opportunity to even help a handful of people, to provide relief to residents, we want to do that.” He added, “To be honest, were it not for the fact that we asked questions, the original plan that the county executive came out with in May probably would have resulted in that $100 million having to be paid back to the federal government. We’re still not 100 percent positive that it meets Treasury guidelines. But at this point we need to deliver those resources, and we felt there was an obligation to at least provide something to families that were struggling.”

At the signing ceremony Curran said, “My hope is that the residents use this money in their communities and support their local businesses.” Curran is seeking to become the first Democrat since Thomas Suozzi in 2005 to win reelection. She will face Republican Bruce Blakeman on Nov. 2.

Locust Valley Boys And Girls Club Up And Running After Major Renovations BY TIM SEEBERGER

tseeberger@antonnews.com

he Grenville Baker Boys and Girls Club in Locust Valley recently got a major facelift, and the improvements to its facility will help facilitate a better future for its students and equip staff and volunteers to accomplish that goal. The club fully reopened its doors on Monday, Sept. 13 and officially on Thursday, Sept. 17 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The $10 million renovation project added 8,000 square feet to the 42,000 square foot facility. The process, according to Melissa Rhodes, Club Director of Programs and Professional Development, has been years in the making. In the last two years, the club has operated out of different churches and buildings in Locust Valley and Bayville to provide after school services to kindergarten through fifth-graders. These days, the club provides help to 160 to 170 students in the state-ofthe-art facility. What was once a small building 71 years ago that was no bigger than a one-room schoolhouse, now is a place where kids can run free in an expansive playground and ball fields, learn dance lessons in the facility’s dance studio, play basketball in the gym, shoot pool in the rec room, get homework help in one of the many classrooms and explore their passions in STEM labs and creative skills in art rooms. “We’re really focused on the whole child,” Rhodes said about the many programs offered. Rhodes said the club is looking to “prepare kids for the 21st century” when they come to the club after school is done for the day. As the building is opening up, and the pandemic is shifting into a different phase, the club hopes to bring back tried and true programs that take advantage of the space, like dance programs and sports leagues. Rhodes hopes they can introduce new programs to high school students like bringing them on college tours and assisting them with the FAFSA process as well. Walking through the facility, it’s clearly noticeable where renovations have been made, both big and small. In some areas, all that was needed was a fresh coat of paint. In others, an entire new wing was added to accommodate

more activities. Maroni’s Kitchen, named after club alumnus Mike Maroni, features new cooking appliances that students can use to learn to make dishes and desserts. Something as simple as changing the location of the main entrance to the side of the building was intentional too. Rhodes said it creates a better flow for drop-offs and pickups with students and parents, and it eliminates the need for parents to walk throughout the building to pick their child up. With COVID, the club faced some challenges, but were able to still offer services. They were shut down from March to June 2020 (like most places in the world), but the timing lined up perfectly, Rhodes said, with construction on the Grenville Baker facility. There were naturally fewer students at the club everyday in their makeshift setups, so having around 50 students made social distancing easier. Now back in its permanent location, the club is maximizing the time it has during the afternoon because of

COVID protocols. This means trying to make sure students can play outside a lot so they can roam free in the building, for example. With about four hours of time spent with the students, making sure they get a comprehensive experience is important. The major renovation project was funded by the help of donors with whom the club has relationships. Because of COVID, the club had to think outside of the box to raise money and keep the renovations going, Rhodes said. One type of relationship that has been beneficial to help raise money for the project is with club alumni. Just ask Rhodes, she would know as someone who was raised in the Grenville Baker Boys and Girls Club. “This was my home away from home” growing up with a single mom who worked two jobs, she said. “It’s amazing to be back here and keep that same magic that it’s had for 71 years.” She noted the strong bonds that she

and other alums hold with one another long after they’ve grown out of the program. “Once you’re a club kid, you’re always a club kid,” she said. As the Director of Programs and Professional Development for the club, she wants to make sure the kids in the program today have the same positive experience she had growing up. With the new features in the building, it seems like that’s happening every day for the kids. “A lot of times, they don’t want to leave when parents come to pick them up,” she said. Going forward, the club is looking for volunteers to able to expand its programs, as well as filling positions and seeking out donors to help fund ongoing projects for the building. “Our community is stronger because of this organization,” Rhodes said.

Top Flight Golf Tourney On Tap Ladies European Tour event coming to Old Westbury

tars of Europe’s triumphant winning 2021 Solheim Cup team will be back on United States soil for the highly anticipated Aramco Team Series-New York. England’s Charley Hull and last year’s Race to Costa Del Sol winner Emily Kristine Pedersen will both line up at Glen Oaks Club from Oct. 14-16 in Old Westbury, part of the Ladies European Tour’s (LET) innovative team and individual format event. Joining them will be their victorious Solheim Cup winning captain, Catriona Matthew, who led the Europeans to a stunning victory at Inverness Club. The $1 million Aramco Team Series event marks the LET’s debut in the United States and represents the strongest field yet following series events in London and Sotogrande this season. Catriona Matthew said, “As we saw in the Solheim Cup, team golf is a format that really provides a different atmosphere and brings the energy for players, fans and viewers on TV. It’s exciting and events like the Aramco

Lexi Thompson, who has won 11 LPGA tournaments, will compete at the Glen Oaks Club starting Aug. 14. She nearly won the U.S. Women’s Open this past June, and at age 12 was the youngest golfer ever to qualify to play in the U.S. Women’s Open. (Courtesy of Aramco Team Series) Team Series give us more opportunities to come together and team up with some of the best players in the world. It’s great for us to get to come to New York with the LET with such a strong field—and post-Solheim adds a bit more spice. The event continues the growing momentum behind the women’s game currently.” American stars Lexi Thompson

and Solheim Cup teammate Danielle Kang will join world number one and Olympic Gold Medalist Nelly Korda, Jessica Korda and Lizette Salas and AIG Women’s British Open champion Anna Nordqvist—a field that now includes six of the world’s Top 20 players. Also confirmed is Cheyenne Woods, Anne Van Dam, Bronte Law, Lindsay Weaver and Sophia Popov.

Lexi Thompson said “It was really cool to play in the inaugural Aramco Team Series event in London. It’s fresh, fun and has a different vibe. It’s a chance to build some camaraderie and experience new things with players from across the globe which we welcome.” The Aramco Team Series is a brand new four-tournament concept introduced on the LET earlier this year. It sees teams of four, that include three pros and one amateur, battle it out for a share of an $800,000 prize fund, with a $200,000 purse for the leading individual scores over the weekend. As a full LET event, each tournament also carries points for World Rankings and the Race to Costa del Sol—LET’s season-long competition to crown Europe’s leading top golfer. Free tickets are now available at aramcoteamseries.com. The tournament will adhere to COVID-19 protocols, as well as local and government guidelines. —Submitted by Aramco Team Series-New York

12th Annual Over 50 Fair Is A Success Once Again

fter being virtual last year, the Over 50 Fair was successful and back in person this year, its 12th annual, at its first Nassau County location. This year’s event took place at a new venue, Samanea Mall, the former Source Mall in Westbury. Samanea is a largely empty, spacious facility where Baby Boomers and Seniors could spread out and feel comfortable. There was plenty of space between booths, wide aisles, very high ceilings and huge storefronts used as classrooms with chairs set far apart. The Over 50 Fair annually entertains and educates many Long Islanders. This event has built a loyal following among the Boomer Generation due to its consistent presentation of various classes, products, and services they find appealing. In the Singles Lounge sponsored by MTN Matchmaking, singles were able to relax, mingle and perhaps meet their special someone. For those who like to gamble, there was a blackjack table with funny money, where attendees could play the popular casino game, compliments of New York Entertainment. Each of these activities was also enjoyed by many in 2019. A new addition this year was a karaoke and DJ room, compliments of AA Entertainment and Events. DJ Commander Alexander played music from several decades to the enjoyment of many who sang songs ranging from Sinatra to the Beach Boys. Some of this year’s classes include “How to Improve Your Dating and Sex Life After 50” by Maureen Tara Nelson, “Mindfulness Meditation” with Janis Abrams of Gentle Soul Discoveries, and “Savvy Social Security Planning for Women” with Katherine Martin of Cetera Investors. Additional classes included Retirement Fulfillment and Hypnosis. Over 50 Fair is the brainchild of East Hills resident Barbara Kaplan, who also coordinates the hugely successful All Kids Fair each April. She said that the Over 50 Fair is “Overflowing with Opportunities for Age 50+.” “Our attendees come every year to enjoy our fun activities, educational and interesting classes, and informative exhibitors,” Kaplan said. “Each year, businesses and non-profits promote local products and services, including health and wellness, education, travel and financial services.” Many local beauty queens from the Ms. New York Senior America pageant attend annually, including Laura Lorenzo, Ms. New York Senior America 2021 and Geanna Koulouris,

(Photo courtesy of the Sid Jacobson JCC) The Sid Jacobson JCC (SJJCC), the only full-service JCC on Long Island’s North Shore, is excited to announce this year’s annual Stronger Than Cancer 5K will be held on Sunday, Oct. 17, at 9:30 a.m. at the JCC in East Hills. All members of the community are invited to this family-friendly event where they can walk or run the JCC’s USATF certified course in East Hills. Proceeds from the annual event will go to SJJCC’s Nancy Marx Cancer Wellness Center (NMCWC), which provides much-needed programming to those living with cancer throughout all stages from treatment to survivorship. “This is the biggest fundraising event of the year for the Nancy Marx Cancer Wellness Center,” Randy Hight, Director of Nancy Marx Cancer Wellness Center, Sid Jacobson JCC, said. “We invite people young and old, families, and friends to take part in the 5K and become aware of the cancer

survivorship services we provide.” This year’s event will honor SJJCC board member Harvey Marx, whose wife Nancy passed away in November 2013 after battling Glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor, for five months. To honor Nancy, and with the support of friends and family, Marx proudly named SJJCC’s Nancy Marx Cancer Wellness Center in 2014 to offer financial and emotional support to others facing cancer. In the years since, NMCWC has grown to help nearly 1,000 individuals and their families face cancer with a community by their side. “Nancy’s courage carries on through these programs every day,” Marx said. “With your support, the Nancy Marx Cancer Wellness Center will continue to thrive. Together, we really are stronger than cancer.” SJJCC’s Nancy Marx Cancer Wellness Center (NMCWC) provides a variety of impactful programming

including exercise classes, discussion groups, and counseling services, among many others. These programs are open to those living with cancer throughout all stages of treatment and survivorship while helping participants feel active, resilient, and empowered in body, mind and spirit. Thanks to proceeds from the Stronger Than Cancer 5K and other funding, 100 percent of these vital services are offered free of charge to participants. The race will begin at 9:30 a.m. on the grounds of Sid Jacobson JCC and travel through Country Estates. The entry fee for the 5K is $25. Safety precautions are subject to change based on NYS, DOH, and CDC guidelines.

DINING FEATURE

With Three You Get Eggroll Danny’s Chinese Kitchen adds Oceanside to Massapequa and Bellmore locations BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

he pandemic may have understandably been disruptive for numerous small businesses, but for brothers David and Danny Antin, they’ve managed to somehow navigate the understandably treacherous economic times. The sibling restauranteurs recently held a ribbon cutting to celebrate the one-year anniversary of their Massapequa Danny’s Chinese Kitchen location at Broadway. It not only followed on the heels of the opening of their Bellmore flagship business back in 2014, but also marked nearly a full year since the duo welcomed in friend Randy Klein as an equal partner. It was enough of an added economic and man-power boost that the three friends are set to open another Danny’s Chinese Kitchen location in Syosset along with an Izakaya ramen sit-down restaurant in Oyster Bay by the end of the calendar year (more on that later). The seeds for restaurant ownership were first planted by younger brother and eatery namesake Danny, who decided to chuck a career working at a Big Four accounting firm seven years ago and make a career switch towards his true love—cooking. “I realized that accounting wasn’t something that I loved to do,” he said. “So I thought about what I could do and I knew I had the experience of doing this for a long time as a kid. I kind of took a shot to see if I could do it on my own.” Older sibling David followed suit, having been a silent partner for the restaurant’s first five and a half years before leaving a career as a top executive at a Manhattan-based investment research firm and joining Danny on the front-line. And while the 2021 opening of the Oceanside restaurant was actually in the planning stages before Massapequa unexpectedly became a reality, the addition of Klein became a major game-changer. Like the Antins, Huntington native Klein was a longtime Merrick resident who’d become friends with his future business partners via the threesome’s involvement in the local community in addition to his working alongside David Antin at the same investment company. In following the duo’s entrepreneurial journey from afar, it didn’t take Klein long to see the satisfaction

Syosset VFW Celebrates 75 Years With Gala BY TIM SEEBERGER

tseeberger@antonmediagroup.com

t was a day of celebration, and a day to remember. Members old and new, as well as local and state officials, were on-hand at the diamond jubilee celebration gala for the Veterans of Foreign War Gus Scutari Post 6394 on Saturday, Oct. 2. “To see the post last this long when a lot of posts are slowly dying off, it’s a good feeling,” said Post Commander Kris Kilgour. He served in the Navy from 1994 to 2000 in the Persian Gulf on the U.S.S. Valley Forge, CG-50, and has been the post commander for the last five years. A number of state and local officials were at the ceremony to present citations and speak on the significance of the post’s ability to help veterans and the local community for the last 75 years. “When they came home, they built the country,” said James Gaughran, New York State Senator for the Fifth district. In the evening’s program, members of the post who passed away recently were honored. An empty table for one was also set to honor the prisoners of war who never came home. One of the members who made a significant impact in the community who was honored was Gus Scutari, who the post was recently named after. To members and the Syosset community, Kilgour said he was pivotal and well-remembered. “Gus Scutari fought to protect America from tyranny, authoritarianism and dictatorship, said Charles Lavine, State Assemblyman for the Thirteenth district. The occasion was also special, as it was the first time in a while that members saw each other face-to-face because of the pandemic. Kilgour said the post had to switch to virtual meetups as a way to protect many of the post’s older members. Still, he noted that the post was able to hold drives in the community to help one another. Kilgour noted a program in which the post provided homebound veterans with hard to find items during the height of the pandemic such as toilet paper and body wash. Michael Hoag, State Commander of the VFW, was also on-hand at the event to honor the post. He served in the Army in the fourth infantry from 1967 to 1968, and in the army reserve for 21 years starting in 1972. He could tell that the amount of community service the club participates in is

clearly evident from the amount of people that came to the event and the officials who honored them. At the state level, he mentioned an important part of the VFW’s purpose: lobbying for veterans’ rights. “I think with the organization, lobbying and keeping the politicians informed about what we need is an integral part, plus the very important part which is our community service,” Hoag said. Some of those programs the VFW is lobbying for include peerto-peer mentoring programs and tax exemptions for veterans. Another important aspect is bringing the community of veterans together to create lasting friendships. At the event, spirits were high as

members and their families had the chance to catch up with each other and reminisce about their time at war. John Kenary served for the U.S. Army from 1961 to 1963 in the twenty-fifth infantry in Thailand and Hawaii. The Oyster Bay resident has been a member of Post 6493 for two years. He initially joined because, “I felt like I could do more for the veterans instead of sitting home and doing nothing,” he said. ”You just help fellow vets that have fallen on bad times,” Kenary said. “You interact with the youths in the high schools in the essay contest and you visit nursing homes and give people a feeling that ‘Oh, somebody cares about me.’”

Whether it be a place to help the community, or a place to share stories, it comes back to comradery and connection. “Even though we’re different ages and have served in different theaters of war, we all share the same bond of having been in the military and having gone overseas and fought for the country,” Kilgour said. “Even though they’re different time frames, a lot of the stories are the same, and we share that bond and it’s good for us to get together and relate.” What did you think of this article?

Village Has Successful Pool Season

espite the ongoing uncertainty brought on by the pandemic, the Garden City Pool had a very successful season. During budget talks, Recreation and Parks Department personnel were unsure what could be accomplished in terms of capacity and availability of the facility. Revenue projections were modest at approximately $590,000. Once the 50 percent capacity restriction was lifted, the pool sold approximately $929,000 in memberships, according to Commissioner Paul Blake. “We beat our estimates for this year, we did much better than last year and we almost met our numbers for 2019,” he said. “Overall all memberships were up substantially from last year and it was a very successful season financially at the pool.”

Community Comes Together For MacArthur’s Homecoming

he Levittown community came out in full force to celebrate General Douglas MacArthur High School’s homecoming on Sept. 25. The festivities began with a pep rally the day before to build excitement for the upcoming game and activities. The parade kicked off at Gardiners Avenue Elementary School as local organizations joined with the school community. The youth football team, youth cheerleaders, school clubs and athletic teams paraded down the street to the high school led by central office administrators, board of education members and the marching band. Back at the football field, the district individually recognized all the senior members, along with their parent or guest, of the football and cheerleading teams, marching band and kickline. The homecoming court was announced and each nominee was introduced. Jack Butler and Kylie Zanelli were crowded homecoming king and queen. The MacArthur varsity football squad took to the field to square up against the Herricks Highlanders. The Generals scored the first touchdown in the first quarter and went on to score two more touchdowns before the halftime show. Halftime included performances from the cheerleaders from the varsity, junior varsity and middle school team, as well as kickline. The marching band treated the crowd to an excerpt from its new 2021 routine. The Generals continued to dominate the game with one more touchdown in the third quarter. Herricks was able to get some points on the board in the last quarter but MacArthur took the win with a final score of 28-7. —Submitted by the Levittown School District

James Hegel and James Napoli gave fans of MacArthur football a day they won’t soon forget. It was one for the record books. Hegel, a senior defensive back, intercepted a school-record four passes against Mepham, including a highlight-reel 100-yard pick six with 5:50 remaining in the game. The Generals posted a 47-21 win over the Pirates in a Nassau II football game. “At the end of the day it was a great team win, everyone played to the best of their ability and we came out on top against a very good Mepham team,” Hegel said. “It is a really cool feeling to hold two school records but we are now focused on Carey.” While Hegel was roaming the secondary with abandon, Napoli was cutting and slashing his way to 314 yards rushing on 35 carries with four touchdowns. It was a rare 300-yard rushing performance. Napoli, also a senior, scored on runs of three, five, four and six yards. Quarterback Ryan Muller also rushed for two touchdowns. MacArthur improved to 4-0. The Island Tress Bulldogs also improved to 4-0 on the season, notching a 34-12 win over Lawrence. The Bulldogs are sitting on top of Nassau Conference IV. Quarterback Nick Saragossi completed 6 of 8 passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns and running back Ryan Mastropaolo rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. Vincent Giambona returned a punt 55 yards for a touchdown. Giambona has now returned a kick or a punt for

a touchdown in three straight games. Chris Antonelli led Island Trees with nine tackles. “Our team is very similar to our coaching staff, we are a mixture of seasoned veterans and young new talent,” Island Trees coach Ryan Vinberg said. “Everyone gets along and more importantly the experienced players are helping out the newer guys and everything is clicking. Our kids are buying in that hard work pays off and we are just having fun every day. They are a special group to be around. Our next four games are going to be a challenge but I believe we are ready for it.” The MacArthur girls soccer team is 8-3 thus far and sitting on top of Nassau Conference A1. The Lady Generals are led by seniors Fiona Kilian, Hailey Hnis (14 goals, two assists), Summer Looney (three goals, two assists), junior Kaitlin Tung (three goals, five assists) and freshman Bella Colabro (three goals, two assists). —James Rowan is a Levittown resident

Garden City’s In The Thick Of It BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

he first of two girls’ soccer seasons in 2021 ended in disappointment for Garden City. The Trojans lost a heartbreaker to MacArthur in the Nassau County Class A semifinal, as the to-seeded Generals scored in overtime. Flash forward a few months and Garden City finds itself in a race for the top of Nassau Conference A1. On Oct. 2, it hosted South Side and settled for a 1-1 tie. The hosts struck first. Kylie Brunning won a ball near the sideline, deep in South Side territory, and lofted a perfect pass to Maya Costa, who headed it past goalie Avery Testa. But the guests responded with 7:37 left in the opening half. Hannah Porter, from the corner, sent a crossing pass into the goal area. Keeper Marisa Patrissi, an eighth-grader, could not hold on and Sienna Connolly slammed the rebound home. Garden City coach Mike Heedles switched midfielder Alivia Gordon to forward in the second half and it nearly paid off. On three occasions teammates created scoring opportunities, but she was stymied each time. “[Gordon] has the ability to hold on to the ball [near the goal area] and use her body well to shield the ball,” Heedles said. “We had our chances today. I felt we were trying to sneak it through the middle too many times. Too many extra touches—and that’s where [South Side’s] backbone is, in the middle. If we had played the flanks a bit more we could have gotten a few more chances.” Garden City beat South Side in the first round, 2-0. “South Side is still the power in the

division, but it’s kind of spread out more,” he said. “MacArthur has a had a lot of good years now. Manhasset is strong. The whole conference is tough. Everybody on a given day can beat somebody else.” South Side regained a bit of its swagger this past year. In the pandemic-delayed soccer season, played in

he brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, is an invasive pest that is present throughout much of the country. The species is native to Asia and was introduced into the U.S. in the mid-1990s, possibly stowing away in a shipping container. Stink bugs are a nuisance to people because adult stink bugs often seek shelter to overwinter inside houses and other buildings. When disturbed or squashed, the stink bugs release an unpleasant odor from scent glands on their abdomen. They may congregate almost anywhere, including bookcases, under beds and sofas, in cracks under or behind baseboards, window and door trim and in attics. These pests will not cause structural damage in homes. They do not bite and they are not known to transmit disease. Some people may be sensitive to allergens given off by the stink bugs. A few simple tips to help keep them from entering homes are: Caulk windows. Weather strip entry doors and install door sweeps if daylight is visible around the perimeter of the door.

Rake away all debris and edible vegetation from your home’s foundation. Inspect for and seal foundation cracks to block a potential point of entry. Secure crawlspace entries. When insulating exposed plumbing pipes around the foundation or the crawlspace of your home, caulk small gaps and fill larger ones with steel wool. If your home has a fireplace, cap the top of the chimney to keep out pests. Contact a pest control professional to treat surrounding vegetation near your home’s foundation, which can harbor large populations of stink bugs, with products registered for residential outdoor uses. Both live and dead stink bugs can be removed from interior areas by using a vacuum cleaner. However, the vacuum may smell of stink bugs for a period of time. Traps made using a metal pan filled with soapy water and a light source are attractive to stink bugs, but additional tactics must be used for complete control of the bugs. Insecticides labeled for use against domestic stink bugs will kill the pests in living areas, but they will not prevent more from emerging after they dry. —EPA

he Jericho Boys Varsity Badminton Team remains undefeated this year after finishing last year with another championship win for their 4th year in a row. Coach Burkowsky who has been coaching the team for 13 years has had a total of 10 championship wins. Team manager and alumna Allison L. who managed the team for three seasons described coach Burkowsky as someone who “pushes all his players to play their best and at the same time is an easygoing coach.” “He brings the best out of the players and the team loves playing for a coach who has shared the same desire to have fun but also be competitive when playing the sport,” added Allison L. Last year Jericho’s biggest rival Great Neck South defeated them twice during the season. Coach Burkowsky said, “They beat us at

home, 5-2 , and they beat us at their home, 6-1.” Fortunately, the team managed to come out at the top in the finals and beat Great Neck South, 5-2. A big part of what helped the team win was the amount of teamwork and dedication throughout the team. There’s a strong camaraderie between the players and they all work extremely well together. “The team played their hearts out, bonded as a team, and clinched that 10th overall county title,” said Allison L. Health, Physical Education and Athletics Curriculum Associate Mr. Mankowich said, “We were truly a team, our kids battled out there. It’s not that we didn’t have one dominant player. They all really came together.” Some of the team’s greatest strengths are their perseverance and communication. Whether they win or lose, the team never seems to fall back from trying their hardest.

The team refers to him as the “clincher” because his wins during the finals were what helped the team win. Senior and captain Wesley W. said, “We needed one last win to get the championship title. It was 20-16 and once Anshul hit the game winning smash, everyone erupted in cheers. All the blood, sweat and tears we

Oyster Bay High School Designated A ‘No Place For Hate’ School

yster Bay High School recently earned a “No Place for Hate” designation from the Anti-Defamation League. The designation recognizes Oyster Bay High School as a place that has created an inclusive learning environment, fosters kindness and has the tools to proactively address bias and bullying incidents. Principal Sharon Lasher started the application process prior to the school shut down due to COVID-19. She picked back up last September with the help of a committee of students and staff. The committee planned schoolwide activities to demonstrate a positive environment and, in the process, cultivated student leadership and united the school community. “I was so impressed from day one in Oyster Bay at how kind our students are to each other and to the staff,” Lasher said. “We do so many great things to maintain a kind environment free from hatred and I thought it was time we were recognized for it all. We know this is just the beginning and we will continue to do the work necessary to keep our school a true ‘No Place for Hate’ learning environment.” Oyster Bay High School was

North Shore Biz Network Names Glenwood Landing Medicare Advisor Business Of The Month Born and raised in New York City and having lived in the Boroughs of Bronx, Brooklyn and Manhattan, Marc Samuels owns a successful NYC business. PhotoTrek Tours, established in 2003, mixes photography with a private, guided tour of the City, in which participants can have special moments captured at New York City landmarks. However, the Coronavirus pandemic changed the plans of anyone looking to visit Manhattan as a tourist, and PhotoTrek Tours was shut down indefinitely. Samuels, who moved to the North Shore in 2015 and commuted to NYC, was forced to pivot to a different line of work, and found his calling in the Medicare business. Thus began Samuels Agency Independent Medicare Advisors.

“I wanted to help people,” Samuels said. “You’re guiding them. Some people think that they can do it on their own. Every year, the doctors change networks. Why not have

someone who can guide you and give you info about medical plans, especially if it doesn’t cost you?” In order to establish himself as an independent Medicare agent, he is currently licensed to sell products for five to six different insurance companies. Each company requires passing its own individual examination. “Basically, the past few years, I’ve done quite a bit of testing,” Samuels explained. “There’s a lot involved.” When pairing clients with the correct policies, Samuels puts each client into a system and looks for a plan that meets each client’s given needs. As Medicare is the bulk of his product, Samuels prides himself on his knowledge of the needs of senior citizens. Samuels lives in Glenwood Landing

with his wife of 15 years, Joanna, his 14-year-old daughter Maya and his 10-year-old son Emil. In looking to the future, Samuels hopes to grow a larger client base that he can help support and guide through the Medicare process. He hopes that his guidance will continue to relieve some of their stress of dealing with high medical bills and drug costs. He hopes that the upcoming Open Enrollment period, which begins on October 15, will promote that process and growth. “I have the knowledge to assist them to do that,” he said. “I just want to help more and more people.” To learn more, you can visit www. medicareinform.com —Submitted by NS Biz Network

Glen Cove Downtown B.I.D.

This year, Holman

said, more than 300 fall flowers and ornamentals were purchased by downtown businesses, delivered by WPW Growers and distributed to the businesses by Compassion to Action Volunteers Ava Solange and Kate Houghton. Also purchased was almost 1,000 mums and cabbages, which were planted throughout the downtown area by the B.I.D.’s landscaper, Testa Landscaping.

Former Mayor Recognized At Village Hall BY ANTHONY MURRAY

s a customary tradition where former village mayors have their portraits hung in village hall after their term has concluded, former Mayor of Floral Park Dominick Longobardi unveiled his at the village’s most recent board meeting. “Each preceding mayor had unique challenges that they all met and exceeded,” Floral Park Mayor Kevin Fitzgerald said. “Mayor Longobardi’s terms were no different and like his immediate predecessor, Mayor Tweedy, he had numerous challenges that he had to face from outside the village and what I would describe as not Business As Usual. In fact I think it would be difficult for another village in New York State to have faced and met so many challenges in the last six years while ensuring the efficient operation of a village with the scope of services that Floral Park provides.” One of the major challenges Longobardi faced while mayor was the Belmont Park Arena project, which borders the village’s West End. “Mayor Longobardi from someone who experienced most if not all of the trials, tribulations and most importantly successes during your terms, thank you for all of the time and sacrifices that you made to ensure our

It is a blessing to look at all these great portraits displayed around this room.” Longobardi thanked everyone who attended in part saying, “Nothing got done because of what I did; it was what we all did together. It’s still that way. This village is going to go on and it’s going to be great. From the bottom of my heart, thank

you for giving me the opportunity to do this.

Covert Continues On Path To Rebuilding BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

The efforts to rebuild Covert Avenue after the devastating fire that destroyed 10 businesses last September continues to make progress. Between the 10 businesses there are two different property owners—United Properties and 41 Covert Avenue LLC—who are now collaborating on a strategy and timeline for reconstruction of the area. According to the village, the reconstruction is planned to start in Spring 2022 once the structural analysis is confirmed, all of the construction documents are completed, public utility commitments are obtained and contractors are commissioned. Also happening soon is the

dumpsters that line the street along Covert Avenue being removed and the proposed construction fence will be mounted closer to the buildings, which will allow for the sidewalk and parking in the adjacent areas to be freed up. According to the village, the owner’s fence contractor is working on getting materials, which have been delayed by current supply chain issues due to the pandemic and will move forward towards Oct. 15. The exterminator will continue to monitor the site to mitigate any potential pest control issues and prevent future problems also. In order to obtain assistance with any interior improvement plans, returning and potential tenants can call the village’s building department at 516-326-6319.

Tips For Health Insurance Open Enrollment BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

s we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s now more important than ever for people to prepare for their health insurance open enrollment period and select a health plan that’s best for them and their families. Starting just a couple of weeks ago, many employers have set aside a twoto three-week period when employees can select health benefits for the following year. This means that nearly 13 million people in New York may select or change their health insurance plans for 2022. Choosing health benefits can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. We had a chance to speak with Michael McGuire, chief medical officer for UnitedHealthcare of New York about this year’s changes and procedure. Here’s what he had to share:

Who needs to be mindful of open enrollment?

Enrollment periods aren’t the same for everyone, so there are key dates to keep in mind depending on their situation. Be sure to check with your employer to know your options. For the more than 2.4 million New Yorkers eligible for Medicare, Medicare Annual Enrollment runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 each year. Meanwhile, New York’s ACA exchange for 2022 plans is open through Dec. 31.

between plan designs to find what will work best for you. Many health plans now offer incentives that reward you for taking healthier actions, such as completing a health survey, exercising or avoiding nicotine.

How do we know we are making the right choices?

Despite doing this each year, like taxes, many of us guess about coverage we need for the upcoming year. This is true. Whether you’re selecting a plan for the first time or evaluating how well your current one meets your needs, it’s important to take the time to understand and compare the benefits, services and costs of each plan. A good first step is to brush up on health insurance lingo, such as premium, deductible, copays, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums. If you’re eligible for Medicare, as you weigh your options, make sure you’re familiar with the difference between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage. If you need a review, visit MedicareMadeClear. com—an online resource with answers to questions about eligibility, plan choices, cost basics, prescription coverage and more.

For most people, if they don’t make an enrollment decision, they may be locked into their current plan for another year. If anything has changed this year, either with their current plan, health status or budget, that decision to do nothing could lead to unpleasant surprises or missed cost-savings in 2022.

How has COVID affected insurance selection?

Mental health and virtual care options have seen a significant boost in utilization as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. If you’re busy juggling kids’ schedules and work responsibilities, traveling or you simply prefer to connect with a doctor from the convenience of your home, consider choosing a plan that includes 24/7 virtual care. These visits are designed to be an easier, more affordable way to talk to doctors about common health issues, using a smartphone, tablet or computer. Managing your mental health is an important step in caring for your overall well-being. In addition to in-person care, you may now be able to access a large virtual health network of therapists and psychiatrists with many plans—including UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage for a $0

Michael McGuire copay. Some health insurers, such as UnitedHealthcare, also offer advocacy services to help you find the right therapist and type of care. Michael McGuire is chief executive officer of UnitedHealthcare in New York. McGuire and his team coordinate access to consumer-oriented health benefit plans and services for nearly 3 million people who get their health plan individually or through small, large and public sector employers. In addition, McGuire is the board chair of the New York Health Plan Association and the Business Council of New York.

Anything particularly different or new this year that we need to keep in mind?

Though we’ve made good progress as a whole in combating COVID-19, its impacts will continue to be felt in some form or another. With a renewed focus on health, now is the time to take stock, set health goals and plan for the year ahead. If you’re expecting a significant health event in the next year, such as surgery or the birth of a child, be sure to compare the differences

Many Medicare Advantage plans also offer gym memberships and wellness programs for members at no additional cost.

Hepatoma Incidences Are Steadily Rising

epatocellular carcinoma (HCC), also called hepatoma or primary liver cancer, is the solid organ tumor whose incidence is rising the most rapidly in the United States. This type of cancer should not be confused with metastatic cancer to the liver. Metastatic cancer to the liver means that a cancer from another organ such as the lung or colon has spread to the liver. HCC typically occurs in people with underlying liver disease that has progressed to cirrhosis. Cirrhosis, from any cause, which has progressed to cirrhosis places an individual at risk for liver cancer. Therefore, conditions such as fatty liver, alcohol associated liver disease, hepatitis C, primary biliary cholangitis, hemochromatosis, autoimmune liver disease and hepatitis B can lead to liver cancer. Interestingly, all people with hepatitis B are at increased risk for developing liver cancer even those without cirrhosis although those with cirrhosis have a higher risk of cancer. As cirrhosis is often without symptoms, liver cancer is frequently found at the same time cirrhosis is diagnosed. All people with cirrhosis, regardless of cause, and everyone with hepatitis B, whether they have cirrhosis or not, should undergo screening for liver cancer with an imaging study and tumor marker, alpha-fetoprotein. When HCCs are found when small, treatment offers a high chance for cure. When found as large masses or with spread to the local blood vessels, the prognosis is poor. Once found, further imaging is indicated with either a CAT scan or MRI. PET scanning is not helpful in HCC. While doctors can screen for HCC and find cancers that are already there, ideally, the availability of simple blood markers to predict the development of liver cancer in cirrhotic patients would be very helpful. Significant research is being done to develop these markers and

we hope within the next few years to have markers that we can. The best treatment for HCC is surgical resection but unfortunately, this option is seldom an option. Liver transplantation is an excellent treatment and those with cirrhosis and liver cancer should be evaluated for liver transplantation. Once a cancer is diagnosed, there are options termed liver directed therapies that can be employed to shrink or kill the tumor. Most of these are performed by an interventional radiologist or radiation medicine doctor. Many times patients undergo these procedures to keep the tumor in check while waiting for a liver transplant. Microwave ablation, performed by a radiologist, can cure small HCCs without surgery or transplantation. Chemotherapy is nor first line therapy in HCC but is available for patients with large tumors or those that have spread outside the liver. The results of chemotherapy remain disappointing. The epidemic of liver disease in the United States, especially alcohol associated and fatty liver disease, is leading to a significant rise in primary liver cancers. The medical community has made tremendous strides in treating these cancers. The key to successful treatment is early diagnosis. Hopefully, we will continue to make significant strides in treating this dastardly disease.

He is a professor of medicine and education.

Truer Food: You Are What You Eat True Food Kitchen’s menu inspired by health-food guru

BY CHRISTY HINKO

chinko@antonmediagroup.com

f you’re searching for a dining experience with a menu packed full of healthy choices, look no further than one of the newer venues, True Food Kitchen, located at the west side entrance of Roosevelt Field Mall. This healthy, but casual dining experience opened a year ago under pandemic conditions, in the space that used to be occupied by Bobby Flay’s Burger Palace. This seasonal Dr. Andrew Weilinspired menu, filled with anti-inflammatory ingredients, is sure to reset your palate. The ingredients are ultra fresh and nearly unadorned, allowing you to experience food closest to its true essence and flavor. On my visit to True Food Kitchen, I found the staff to be friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the menu and its ingredients. Local Executive Chef Seth Barton holds daily menu briefings with the staff to review popular items and ingredients for making the best suggestions to dining guests. The open-air kitchen is a great feature of this restaurant. I love the honesty of an open kitchen and that it is clean and organized

The Ancient Grains Bowl with shrimp and the movement within is well-controlled and flows gently. Under the guidance of Brand Chef Robert McCormick, the menu at True Food Kitchen fully evolves twice a year, with supplemental items added in the winter and summer months. The flavors are explosive on every food item, but with a health factor behind it. The menu is based on anti-inflammatory concepts and most dietary needs and restrictions are easily accommodated. All of the menu items are labeled with dietary features (gluten-free,organic, etc.). Calories

True’s grass-fed burger are listed. All dishes are customizable to any dietary need (diabetic, allergy, etc.).

Here are my suggestions:

Do try Andy’s Elixir. It’s a sparkling water refresher made with sea buckthorn and honey. The coloring is easily mistaken for turmeric. The sea buckthorn, with a highly unique taste, is a Himalayan berry, packed with antioxidants. The taste of honey is prominent in this beverage. For a cocktail, try either the Juniper Rose or Common Bond. The Juniper Rose is lighter and refreshing made with

rose-infused gin, lime, grapefruit and thyme. Gin, although it is a love-it or leave-it spirit with its medicinal hints, does clear the palate nicely. The great fall flavors of Common Bond with its bourbon, pressed apple, chai spice and lemon combination reminds me of my Aunt Nancy’s homemade wassail. Cocktails are $13. Refreshers and teas are $5. There is also an organic wine menu and several beer choices. I secretly love that they do not serve soda here at True Food Kitchen; it would negate the health benefits of your epicurean experience. For an appetizer, try the not-so-typically plain Brussels sprouts, roasted in a mushroom and miso sesame vinaigrette, then topped with chili threads, giving it a little zing of spice. Or, go for the edamame dumplings, with pureed filling, steamed in dashi white truffle oil and Asian herbs. Appetizers are $8 to $12. The Ancient Grains Bowl, with shrimp (or other protein choices) added is dynamic and filling. There is so much happening in this one dish, the miso sesame glazed sweet potato, turmeric, charred onions, snap peas, grilled

portobello mushroom, avocado and hemp seed with cilantro and pumpkin seed pesto. Salads and bowls range from $11 to $16. Still thinking lighter fare, try a personal-sized pizza like the chicken sausage pie with crushed organic tomatoes, roasted fennel and smoked gouda. This portion is about two slices of traditional pizza and is deliciously filling. Pizzas range from $13.50 to $17. The grass-fed burger topped with umami mushrooms, caramelized onions, organic arugula, parmesan and mayonnaise on a flax seed bun with a side of kale salad is sure to hit the spot. The bun is fun, full of texture and holds together exceptionally well. We haven’t seen kale on menus more than we have in the past five years or so. People have a love/ hate relationship with kale, but this side salad is delightful, tossed with lemon, garlic, parmesan and breadcrumbs. Sandwiches and burgers range in price from $14 to $17. The sea bass entree is a very popular choice at True Food Kitchen, served with roasted Brussels sprouts, fennel, golden beets, butternut squash, farro risotto, lemon, herbs and cashews. It’s a great portion. The full-grained risotto has an explosive flavor, nice pairing with the pan seared fish. Entrees range in price from $14.50 to $30.50. For dessert, do have the seasonally appropriate, airy squash (almost like

Village To Put Speed Indicator Signs

ollowing residents’ concern about an upsurge in collisions at the intersection of Stratford Avenue and New Hyde Park Road since the New Hyde Park LIRR underpass was complete, the Traffic Commission approved the placement of speed indicator signs northbound and southbound on New Hyde Park Road. The northbound sign is solar and operational. The southbound is installed, but needs to be connected to electric due to tree obstruction. DPW is working with the electrical contractor to have the sign connected as soon as possible. Further, Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi requested Nassau County Public Works provide a traffic light sequence report for the intersection and extend the timing of the light at the intersection by at least 10 seconds. The request was approved; this will increase the timing up to 30 seconds depending on the number of vehicles waiting for the light on Stratford Avenue. Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson noted that Detective Roumeliotis was very instrumental in getting the sequence changed for New Hyde Park Road and Stratford Avenue.

armingdale-based Terwilliger & Bartone Properties announced a second property on Railroad Avenue in the Village of Westbury is under contract for a Phase II proposal for The Cornerstone at Westbury, a luxury residential community 1,000 feet from the Westbury train station. An application for Phase II will be submitted to the village as a continuation of the revitalization made possible by Westbury’s new Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) zoning. “We are proud to be part of the railroad station district revitalization effort to create a vibrant center of activity that draws people downtown in the Village of Westbury,” said Anthony Bartone, managing partner of Terwilliger & Bartone Properties. “Quality multifamily residential with amenities is a key driver of smart revitalization, and we commend village leadership for encouraging private investment to help swell the tax base and ignite economic development for decades to come.” The Village of Westbury Board of Trustees unanimously approved Phase I of The Cornerstone at Westbury on Sept. 16 to transform 461 Railroad Ave., a parcel currently utilized as a food handling warehouse. Phase I includes a professionally managed 72-unit residential community with sophisticated finishes and

Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2022. Phase II will expand on this vision just down the road at 425 Railroad Ave., which is currently an industrial warehouse. The Phase II proposal will include 58 luxury residential units in a highly amenitized, professionally managed community environment. The first phase alone is expected to swell the Westbury tax base by 450 percent, generating more than $2 million in net fiscal benefit to the Westbury School District over 20 years. The Cornerstone at Westbury will feature high ceilings, designer kitchens, modern finishes and outdoor space. Best-in-class community amenities will include an oversized clubhouse for entertaining, dining room, library, modern fitness center and outdoor recreation area as well as

resident events and activities. According to county records, the property was sold for $1.4 million on March 16, 2020. It is approximately .623 acres. In 2021 it paid about $18,076 in general taxes and for the 2020-21 school year it will pay $37,058 in school and library taxes. Its fair market value jumped from $676,300 (2020) to $955,540 (2021). In between the prospective Bartone & Terwilliger apartments lies All Round Foods at 437 Railroad Ave. Owner Glen Wolther of Syosset confirmed to Anton Media Group that he had rejected an offer for his property by the developer. At a public hearing about The Cornerstone at Westbury before the board of trustees in August, Wolther stated, “I choose not to sell my property because I love

what I do. I’ve since learned I was made an offer to buy my property. My business is worth more running a cold storage warehouse. My property is worth more. I get more money selling it that way. And part of the analysis was economics, so from an economic standpoint I was better off keeping my property than selling it.” To trustee Vincent Abbatiello’s concerns about apartment dwellers facing dangers from the trucks using his business, Wolther replied, “In my 30 years being on that property I can’t think of one accident from a truck who hit a pedestrian walking down the street.” For additional information visit www.cornerstonewestbury.com. —Submitted by Terwilliger & Bartone Properties with additional reporting by Anton Media Group

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

MINEOLA BOE RESPONDS TO STATE AUDIT REPORT needed to—because we budget conservatively. The uncertainty around state and federal aid remains to this day and it’s not responsible to build our budget based on unfunded promises, so we don’t. The undesignated fund (our surplus) at the end of a fiscal year is transferred to capital line items by a public board resolution for project work to occur during the following fiscal year. As is discussed publicly at our board meetings, this is how we help fund the many capital improvement projects that our students and the larger community benefit from. All the work done throughout the district over the last 12 years has been done without floating a bond. This plan to reconfigure the district and invest the savings in our schools was debated, voted on, and approved by the public. For those that remember this process, it was a remarkable example of democracy in action. That plan continues to be executed today. We have not borrowed any money for the vast improvements that are evident throughout our district. All the money went to projects, and none went to interest or other borrowing costs. Only a local school board, acutely aware of its unique circumstances, and an informed public can determine what an appropriate amount and use of its reserves are. That is a practice we go through annually. Albany cannot do that. Only recently has the state finally committed to fully funding school foundation aid that was promised and established by law 15 years ago. Time will tell whether the state will follow through on its promise the way Mineola UFSD does every year. Reserves are an important

part of any budgetary process. In fact, as this audit was getting underway, the governor signed into law a new provision that allows school districts to set aside monies in a new reserve fund for employer (district) contributions to the Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS). The state did this because of the short-term volatility of investment returns and the inability of many districts to absorb spikes in their state-mandated contributions. All of this is necessary even after the state’s blending formula is applied. Our board acted immediately to create and fund that reserve with $785K. It is another reason why Mineola maintains a stable levy. Over the last 12 years, our levy was below the county average every year and averaged a predictable and low rate of 1.32 percent a year, including a 0 percent levy increase this year. So, while the state was preparing to criticize our use of reserve funds, they were simultaneously telling us to use them more. Another benefit of our use of undesignated reserve funds is our favorable bond rating. This summer, Moody’s assigned Aa3 (Prime-1) to the Mineola UFSD. Moody’s report mentions “ongoing operating surpluses leading to reserve growth” as a factor in its rating and cautioned that “a structural imbalance leading to declines in reserves” could lead to a downgrade of the rating. This enabled the district to refinance a bond floated many years ago, which will result in a savings of $860K over the next decade. In addition to the comptroller’s office, which audits us from time to time, our budget is audited annually by our internal and external auditors. Our budget is prepared and

presented to the public several times with ample opportunity for questions and comments before being put to a vote. Our board values its civic outreach; we want our community to be informed. The public vote alone is more scrutiny than any other budget receives, and we are very proud that over the last eight years, the district has averaged a 75 percent pass margin for our annual budgets. Would the town or county or state or federal budget when subjected to the same level of scrutiny pass a public vote with the same margin? Would those budgets even pass with a simple majority? We find the comptroller’s report to be pedantic and myopic. It’s important to note that during the district’s exit conference with the comptroller’s office, the auditors acknowledged that they were unaware of the cost and time advantages of funding projects with available undesignated reserves. We find it regretful that they chose not to include that fact in their final report. A common refrain in public spending is “How are you going to pay for it?” We answer that question each year as we effectively develop and manage our budget. It is a process that takes an inclusive approach and considers the needs of many diverse stakeholders. By comparison, the audit report fails to see the bigger picture and sadly attempts to undermine the good work of this board and our administration as we continue to pursue our district’s mission on behalf of our children. —Mineola Board of Education

It was more than two years ago, Sept. 5, 2019, that the district was first contacted by the NYS comptroller’s office to kick off a routine audit. The 12-page audit report was issued by the comptroller’s office a few weeks ago. The finding was that the district had overbudgeted, which resulted in an excess in undesignated fund balance. Newsday reported that we had “amassed unneeded cash surpluses.” We might agree with them if we were talking about Harvard’s $42 billion endowment, but we are not, we are talking about Mineola. Let us be perfectly clear—at no time were any public funds unaccounted for, unneeded, or otherwise mismanaged. The board of education understands its fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the school district and the taxpayers who fund it. Our budgeting process is transparent to a degree that no other public budget is. No mechanism exists for a public school system to run a deficit like many different levels of government can and often do, so our budget is necessarily conservative. This means we must take great care to ensure adequate funding for our district throughout the fiscal year or risk having to cut programs and staff as we’ve seen in other districts. Education must be done in real time—you can delay the paving of a road, but you cannot delay or restrict the education of a child. At the start of the pandemic, school districts around the state were informed by Albany that we may have to endure a 20 percent cut to state aid. That’s quite a hostile action to take against children during a pandemic, but one of the things that we were prepared to deal with had we

The King Of Game Shows Ok, I admit it. I love watching game shows. I usually have the Game Show Network (GSN) on in the background when I have breakfast or need something mindless on the tube. Trying to answer the questions is a challenge I’m always up for. I know a lot of meaningless trivia, so I always thought I would make a good game show contestant. We’re not talking about Jeopardy, mind you, unless the categories were all sports and movies. When we have a game night with friends, I’m usually the one who explains the rules and gets the game started. If it’s one we’ve never played before, they typically hand me the instruction booklet to figure things out. I’m a stickler for rules, so you better pay attention. Maybe I would have made a good game show host? Even when playing board games with the kids, I always insisted they follow the rules. Oh sure, occasionally minor infractions were allowed to slide to keep the peace (and make

it fair for the younger kid). But rules is rules, I always say. I enjoy the classic shows as much as some of the newer ones. There is still an old-school charm to The Match Game. But I really like America Says and have been enjoying the reruns of The Chase. I was never a big Wheel of Fortune fan, but I always enjoy watching Jeopardy. Some of the newer ones, like Common Knowledge or People Puzzler, are way too easy. I need a little challenge in my game

shows, like Catch 21, which requires both knowledge and the luck of the cards. But man, I just love game shows. Until recently, I never thought of myself as the target demographic GSN honchos think watches game shows. Even though I’m coming up on 65 next year, is it really necessary to have a Medicare Advantage commercial during every break? Between Joe Namath and Jimmy “JJ” Johnson, I’ve about had it. By the way, does anyone believe Tom Selleck has a reverse mortgage? With all the pharmaceutical commercials, quite frankly, I’m afraid to leave the house. How can there be so many people afflicted with something their doctor can’t properly diagnose and treat? Those commercials request you ask your doctor if their product is right for

you. If those drugs were right for me, wouldn’t my doctor recommend them? Maybe my doctor isn’t watching enough television. I’d like to see more commercials with seniors taking cruises or going to Disneyland and less about incontinence products discreetly delivered right to your door. Older people go out to eat in restaurants and go to the movies. Where are the movie trailers and Olive Garden commercials? At least GSN isn’t bombarding us with young kids doing things on their phones we can never understand. There aren’t a lot of 20-somethings dancing and singing to music we’ve never heard before. Of course, you still get the occasional car commercial or Geico advertisement, but you can’t escape them. And if there is one more injury lawyer who will make sure I get

the compensation I deserve, I might just have to trip and fall next time I’m in Shoprite. But back to the game shows. I’ve been successful in local pubs on Trivia night every now and then, but even that’s with a group of people sitting at your table. Everyone has their own area of expertise and can contribute. On a game show, it’s just you, the host and the other contestants. Maybe that’s why game shows have been so successful over the years. You can enjoy them without any of the pressure. If you get the answer wrong, who cares? Watching the game in your living room and coming up with an answer is probably a lot easier than doing it on a sound stage in front of a live audience.

Metropolitan New York Ferries— Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow (Part II) Thousands of pre COVID-19 riders on a daily basis utilize ferries sponsored by the New York City Economic Development Corporation Private Ferry operators program. They connect various waterfront neighborhoods including Soundview in the Bronx, Astoria, Long Island City, Roosevelt Island, the Rockaways in Queens, East 79th Street, East 34th Street, Pier 11 Wall Street and Governors Island in Manhattan, along with Greenpoint, Williamsburg, Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Army Terminal and Bay Ridge in Brooklyn. A new ferry service from the St. George, Staten Island Ferry Terminal to Pier 79 West 39th Street Midtown Manhattan with an intermediate stop in Battery City Park adjacent to the World Financial & World Trade Center recently started on Monday, Aug. 23.

time in 2022. The New York MTA Metro North Rail Road has ferry services providing connections from Rockland to Westchester County across the Hudson River. These routes operate between Haverstraw to Ossining and Newburgh to Beacon which provide direct access to the Metro North Hudson Line. This Metro North branch runs from City of Poughkeepsie to Grand Central Terminal. New York City can also apply for capital grants from the New York State Department of Transportation and other formula and competitive discretionary FTA grants to assist in funding. Albany also provides State Transportation

Operating Assistance (STOA). Ridership on any transit service generates yearly federal transportation capital assistance via the annual FTA Section 15 annual reporting process. Numerous past private ferry operators have come and gone. They could not financially survive without government subsidy. New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus, subway and commuter rail along with New York City DOT Staten Island Ferry is subsidized by a combination of city, state and federal assistance for both capital and operating costs. All new ferry services will require similar subsidies to survive. The City of Glen Cove in suburban Nassau County is attempting to initiate their own ferry service to midtown and downtown Manhattan. Farebox recovery rates vary based upon the trip, route and time of day. Any rush hour local or express bus, light rail, subway, ferry, commuter rail trip carries more

riders than mid-day, evening, overnight or weekends. Rush hour trips tend to have a better fare box recovery rate and require less subsidy. There is always a fixed cost per hour for any mode of transportation. This includes equipment (bus, subway car, train or ferry purchase) straight line depreciation of equipment over time and mileage, driver, engineer or ferry boat captain’s salary, conductors, ticket takers, deck hands, fuel or power and maintenance of equipment. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s likely successor is current Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, who will assume office on January 1, 2022 (It is a forgone conclusion with a 6 to 1 Democrat to Republican voter enrollment that he will easily defeat GOP Mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa in the November 2021 general election.) Adams will need to convince the New York MTA Board to support the New York City Economic Development Corporation private ferry program fare

structure of $2.75 per ride to also include cross honoring a free transfer to a bus or subway using the old MTA Metro or new One New York (OMNY) Fare Card. Riders could purchase weekly or monthly passes for discounted fares. These could be supplemented by using Transit Checks, which will further reduce the cost per ride. Who wouldn’t want to enjoy the fresh air and breeze that only waterborne transportation can provide? Riding a ferry can be less stressful than being packed in a subway car like sardines in a can.

Anybody Remember Fried Pasta? One of the best parts of mealtime is the memory that can be created from sharing that time with others. Sitting around a table with good people and stirring conversation can warm the heart, especially when one recalls those times later in life. Whether one enjoys their meal with family, friends or colleagues, these times can usually be recalled fondly with outstanding food, conversation, or something silly that makes the memory heartwarming. Take, for example, the time that Mom made cube steak for dinner when I was a child. That piece of beef always curled up at the opaque edges and it was as hard as the sole of a shoe. I don’t know why she bought it so often, but it appeared to be one of Dad’s favorite meals. My sister would slather it in garlic powder and salt until the top was white just so she could tolerate a bite. I often drowned mine in condiments. “Hate” is a strong word, so let’s just use “dislike”: I disliked cube steak. Immensely. On one of those nights that Mom served the cube steak, I told my parents that the use of bread during a meal could help to push food onto a fork instead of using a knife. Mom had made mashed potatoes and peas with the meal, and since I had no knife to push my peas onto my fork, I had no choice but to spear each

the dish for lunch. It was delicious. After Hubby and I were married, we often made fried macaroni for lunch. As our daughter grew, she begged us to make it whenever we had leftover pasta. She also preferred the flavor of the burnt, crisp noodles in the thicker, sweeter sauce.

I had to stand on a chair and fan the smoke detector with a dishcloth to stop it from piercing the smoke with its screech. While fried bologna wasn’t her favorite dish, it certainly was one of my favorite meals that Mom used to create for lunch. Several nights ago, I used fresh basil from our garden and created a pesto pasta that blanketed a bowl of rigatoni. Tonight, I fried up that pasta until it was crisp but not burned. The frying process intensified the basil and garlic flavors quite nicely. It’s good to know that even pesto leftovers can be fried up as a delicious side dish and even better that they still conjure warm memories of mealtimes past.

As it has been mentioned many times, food and mealtimes are associated with love. Whether we had wonderful meals created for us by grandparents, parents or chefs at local restaurants, these experiences create memories that stir feelings of happiness and love within our hearts. Whether it’s a fried bologna sandwich or a steaming plate of fried macaroni, these memories can cause us to smile, even through the darkest days. But I promise you this: I will never love cube steak, but if I see it in the store, I will associate it with my sister and the peas on her fork and I will laugh for hours.

Your Friend Or Foe Once upon a time life was so simple. We called someone on the telephone to express our happiness or to help someone dealing with sadness. If we had beautiful photos of a grandchild, a graduate or some other special personal moment, we put them in the mail and waited for a response from the recipient. Today, we have multiple ways to convey our feelings by using social media. One of the biggest forms of communications is Facebook and it is possible that this vehicle is swiftly becoming Public Enemy No.1. Like many others, I use Facebook to post family pictures that I think tell a story. I have probably endorsed other people’s posts hundreds of time. Over the years, I have looked upon Facebook as a high-speed medium that transports happy and sad

news and sells products, few of which I would buy. But if you follow the current Congressional hearings looking into how Facebook has been used and misused, you might decide that Facebook is not America’s best friend. You may use Facebook

for limited purposes and are one of its 2.85 billion users. According to the Congressional testimony, Facebook has also become a dangerous vehicle that needs some type of regulation. The hearings have brought out the fact that Facebook was the vehicle of choice for the troublemakers who invaded our nation’s capital on Jan. 6. They are alleged to have used Facebook to storm parts of the Congress and to have encouraged violent activities against the Capitol Police. How bad a culprit Facebook was has yet to be included in a final committee report? The recent 60 Minutes story that featured an ex-Facebook employee threw more fuel on the fire. Frances Haugen, who

worked on the civic misinformation team, has charged that Facebook’s operation is “all about making money with no interest in public safety.” To prove her charges, she shared thousands of pages of internal memos that revealed that Facebook was “misleading investors with public statements that did not match its internal actions.” Her allegations and the testimony before Congress indicates that Facebook has encouraged violent extremism and insurrection. It is claimed that the company computer programs were constructed in such a way that it welcomed conduct that has contributed to tearing the nation into pieces. Others have claimed that its Instagram program has body-shamed young women

and have caused many to harm themselves. Whether all of these claims are true or not, it is very clear that Facebook is no longer that simple vehicle that makes you feel good after you post Grandma’s photograph. Whether Facebook can be regulated is a more difficult issue. It is privately owned and we do have the First Amendment that protects them. But as Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes stated 93 years ago “free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater.” Facebook may have started a fire and it is time to put it out.

Turf Field: Rendering of Locust Valley High School’s new turf field. Photo submitted by Locust Valley Central School District

GROUNDBREAKING ON LOCUST VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL TURF FIELD Construction has begun on Locust Valley High School’s Fred Smith Field for the installation of the new turf field and improved track. During the annual budget vote on May 18, residents approved the withdrawal of $2.8 million dollars from a capital reserve fund that was previously funded and therefore not increasing taxes. The withdrawal covers the cost of installing the turf field and replacing the track which needed extensive upgrades to allow competitions to take place at the high school safely. Members of the community have been advocating for a turf field for many years, citing the advantages

such fields offer to student-athletes, including remaining competitive with other schools that already play on turf and preparing them for collegiate sports where turf fields are the norm. “It is important to give our students the advantages that will help them succeed in our schools and beyond,” Superintendent of Schools Kenneth E. Graham, Ed.D. said. During construction, the field, including the track, will be closed to the public. It is anticipated that the project will be complete in the Spring. —Submitted by Locust Valley Central School District

Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 15 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You had your own ideas about maximizing the potential of the situation. They were a good jumping-off point, and when others got involved, it all took a turn. You’ll be better off moving with the crew. You’ll probably have to let go of the fun you planned to embrace the fun that’s waiting for you.

WORD FIND

Solution: 15 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s something you are resisting, and now it’s time to question that instinct. What do you think will happen if you entertain the notion? What are you afraid of? Could you make room for the idea and its opposite at the same time? With your sophisticated and expansive mind, anything is possible.

Boys' names Solution: 15 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Here comes a dream, a sign or a flash of insight. It may seem risky or counterintuitive to act on this before the meaning of it becomes clear to you. However, if you make your move in the heightened state, you won’t be sorry. Motion has a way of bringing the vision together. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Getting away from a thing isn’t the same as running scared from it. Not every retreat is an escape. Think about what you’re going toward instead. Start building that and you may just find that you drift quite naturally from what no longer serves you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Most times you can cross the distance between the ordinary and the extraordinary with effort, talent, taste or something of the sort. This week, you’ll cross that chasm with dumb luck. You’ll stumble into the mood, the beautiful lighting or the perfect timing and you’ll experience sheer magic. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s not so easy to be creative. It requires you give attention even when it’s uncomfortable or tedious. It requires you repeat actions until they work. Your creative success will be hard-won, which is what makes it so worthwhile. Keep coming up with new ideas and building on them. You’re onto something.

Aaron Abel Adriel Aidan Alan Alejandro Amir Angel Asher Ayden Beau Bert Colt Cooper Elliot

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Life comes at you with boisterous, overwhelming confidence. Someone is jostling for the upper hand. Your need for independence is strong. You’ve no interest in being enlisted in a program or participating in a system. You’ll take the quiet, chaotic uncertainty. You’ll find your own way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). No one is great at everything. Most humans excel at a handful of endeavors and specialize in a couple. You’ll soon be adding to your arsenal or changing your specialty. You’ll seize a chance to experiment, which will lead you to explore. You’re at your best in new environments. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll use your talent for finding the good in things. There’s even something good about worrying. Apprehensions will fuel you to be more prepared. Instead of one backup plan, work out a multitude of them. The process of thinking them up will help you get to your most brilliant solution yet.

Whether it’s worth it depends on your need of the moment. Low-key connections can be just as sweet. Relating tenderly to one person will bring you everything you need. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You want something from the situation that you don’t feel entitled to. Good. Entitlement breeds an off-putting arrogance. Your doubt makes you humble. Your vulnerability makes you relatable. Your hard work makes you qualify to get what you want. These qualities plus your efforts to connect will equal success.

RITA MORENO

GOES FOR IT In New American Masters Documentary BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

You would think in an entertainment career spanning 70-plus years, someone would have had the bright idea of shooting a documentary about the indefatigable Rita Moreno. After all, she is in the rarified EGOT class of having won all four major entertainment awards—Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony (although she gently reminded me that she was actually a KEGOT, having received a Kennedy Center Honor in 2015). She’s also one of only 24 people who nailed the Triple Crown of Acting with individual Academy, Emmy and Tony Awards. Rita Moreno

t turns out that she and Helen Hayes are the only two who have achieved both EGOT and the Triple Crown. In addition, Moreno received the 2004 Presidential Medal of Freedom (the country’s highest civilian honor) and was awarded the Peabody Career Achievement Award in 2019. Her filmography found her appearing in a slew of Hollywood classics including 1952’s Singin’ In the Rain, 1956’s The King and I and most famously, 1961’s West Side Story, where she became the first Latina to win an Oscar for her role as Anita. All the doors she kicked down for Latinos like Lin-Manuel Miranda and down in television, film and stage even led to the Hispanic Organization of Latin Actresses (HOLA) renaming their highest honor the HOLA Rita Moreno Award for Excellence back in 2000. So imagine how Brent Miller, a producer on the Latino-flavored Netflix reboot of One Day At a Time, where Moreno was playing the matriarch Lydia Margarita del Carmen Inclán Maribona LeyteVidal de Riera, was surprised when he approached the octagenarian actress about being the subject of a

documentary. And while any other person with these accomplishments might jump at the chance, it wasn’t something the ever-humble Moreno ever considered. “Brent came to me and asked if anyone had come to me and asked about doing a documentary and I said no,” she explained with a laugh.”He just stared at me and said, ‘Never?’ I said no and why would anybody ask me? He said, ‘Why would anybody ask you? With the life you’ve led.’ And I said, ‘What life have I led?’ Really, I said things like that because when you live your life it’s not something you think of that could even end up being a community service to people at large. You don’t think of that. You can tell by the documentary that I’m not a person who is affected. There is nothing about me that is pretend. He asked me if I’d like to do one and I really wasn’t sure. I honestly didn’t believe I would be that interesting.” Even after that initial conversation, Moreno wasn’t keen on embarking on a project like this, despite being someone who self-admittedly loves the attention being a performer

gives her. (“Any actor that tells you that they don’t appreciate attention is a liar.”) A year passed before she signed off on being the subject of Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go For It, the latest installment of PBS’ American Masters Series that made its exclusive U.S. broadcast premiere on Oct. 5 in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. Adding juice to the proceedings are executive producers Norman Lear and the aforementioned Miranda, both who are among the interviewees that include Hector Elizondo, Gloria Estefan, Morgan Freeman, Mitzi Gaynor, Whoopi Goldberg, Eva Longoria, Justina Machado, Terrence McNally and others. But before she took the plunge, the Puerto Rican native had some conditions. It had to be directed by a female director and it had to be honest. The first proviso was achieved when Mariem Pérez

Riera, whose son Marcel Ruiz played Moreno’s grandson Alejandro on One Day At a Time, filled the director’s chair. As for the latter condition, this 90-minute documentary is unfailingly and brutally honest in a tone set by its subject and one not dissimilar to that found in Moreno’s 2011 autobiography Rita Moreno: A Memoir Memoir. The major takeaway for the documentary is that it’s a project Moreno absolutely felt had to be done given the times. “What happened is something that hadn’t really crossed my mind or that of the director is how relevant this documentary is,” she said. “It is so connected to right now and in a terrible way, because things have changed and they have not changed. That is what is so maddening.” Like the book, Just a Girl traces Moreno’s idyllic early years growing up poor in the rural environs of Humacao, Puerto Rico with her seamstress mother Rosa María and little brother Francisco. It was here the future film star was known as

Rosita and first found a love of performing for her maternal grandfather Justino. “That’s really what started it—the fact that my abuelito used to play records and say, ‘Rosita, do something,’” Moreno recalled. “I’d start swishing my little booty around and dancing. He would applaud and laugh and I thought, ‘I like this a lot.’ I loved the attention it got me.” And while Just a Girl could have easily gone down the hagiographic path of scrappy Latina fights and scrapes her way into a happy ending, it is unsparing in reflecting the tremendous trauma, emotional pain and horrific episodes she endured that led to an act of self harm and significant therapy (“...the best thing I ever did for myself.”) The documentary also sheds light on Moreno’s personal life, touching on the dysfunctional relationship she had with Marlon Brando that included an abortion and a suicide attempt. One surprising disclosure was the truth behind her 45-year-marriage to cardiologist and former manager Leonard Gordon, a union that yielded daughter Fernanda Gordon Fisher and two grandsons. While the relationship is portrayed in the documentary as being loving via sunny memories and a clip of Moreno discussing her 19th wedding anniversary with Joan Rivers on The Tonight Show, Moreno followed up that footage by saying, “We were really not a good couple.” It’s a shocking revelation and one of the most honest responses that was undoubtedly a difficult conversation to have, particularly given how close she is with her daughter. “It was not something I wanted to burden [Fernanda] with because what are you going to do about it?,” Moreno said. “What was I going to say? ‘Your father is impossible. He tries to control me.’ What is she going to do about that except feel terrible because she was a real daddy’s girl? He was a very loving and thoughtful parent and grandparent to the boys. So I had to keep it to myself. But it was really hard. After he passed away, we started to talk.” Moreno added, “It always bothered me that he didn’t like that part of me he found to be kind of a little crass and vulgar. I love that it also connotes other things. We’re warm and giving people. We are all of those things as well. That’s part of my Hispanic nature. It’s absolutely so that I was all of those things. But I sure loved life. That was never a question.” American Masters—Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go For It debuted on Oct. 5 and is available for streaming concurrent with broadcast on all station-branded PBS platforms.

Rita Moreno’s Favorite Roles

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

ccording to IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base), Rita Moreno has 163 film and television roles dating back to her movie debut alongside Anne Francis and Anne Jackson in the reform school drama So Young, So Bad, where she played a character named Dolores Guerrero and shared billing with lead Paul Henreid. And this doesn’t include the 226 credits where Moreno appears as herself or the myriad theatrical projects she’s been a part of. With seven-plus decades of experience under her belt, the ageless Rita Moreno hasn’t slowed down as evidenced in the recently released documentary Rita Moreno: Just A Girl Who Decided To Go For It and the forthcoming release of the Steven Spielberg-directed West Side Story reboot, where she receives an executive producer credit and the director and collaborator Tony Kushner created the role of Valentina for her. It’s a project that not only took her back to the Oscar-winning part of the 1961 original, but a remake she is proud of thanks to Spielberg and Kushner’s efforts at being as historically and culturally sensitive as they could be. “Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner turned themselves into pretzels trying to find the right way to depict Hispanics,” Moreno said. “Everybody who is supposed to be Hispanic in this movie is. All the dancers are not Puerto Rican, only because he could not find a full gang that could dance, act and sing. It’s like saying we’re going to do a picture about all Jews and they all have to come from

this particular part of Europe. You’re not going to find everybody like that. But everybody who is supposed to be Latino—definitely is. Plus, Tony and Steven brought academics in to speak with both the gangs during dance rehearsals. They would take time out and bring someone in to talk about the social and political situation at the time. That San Juan Hill was demolished and became Lincoln Center. But there wasn’t a week where they didn’t have people talking to them and indoctrinating them and making them ultra-aware of what that was like. And that includes the Jets. I can tell you these kids were so prepared, unlike us.” Having made such a seismic mark on the silver screen, television and the stage, Moreno shared some of her favorite roles from each medium here.

West Side Story (1961) “That became an iconic role for me. It’s a role that made me known worldwide, more than anything.

The Miracle Worker (1969) “I did a lot of theater outside of Broadway. I think one of the things I really loved doing was playing Anne Sullivan in The Miracle Worker. I played an Irish girl in that and it was just wonderful and one of the best experiences I ever had.”

Oz (1997-2003) “It was so far and away from anything I’d played before. I was absolutely in shock when it was offered to me. My God, the casting in that show was extraordinary. And every year they’d bring in some new actor to play a new prisoner and it would be somebody incredible. Not a star, but an incredible actor. It was fantastic.” Rita Moreno playing Sister Peter Marie Reimondo in the HBO prison drama Oz (Photo courtesy of HBO)

American Masters—Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go For It debuted on Oct. 5 and is available for streaming concurrent with broadcast on all station-branded PBS platforms.
