Scam Streams Mimic School Teams

Events claiming to be livestreams for Nassau County high school sports abound on Facebook

JANET BURNS

jburns@antonmediagroup.com

The much-anticipated 2022 fall sports season is wrapping up this month at Nassau County schools, but it’s already left behind an unexpected legacy: hundreds of Facebook event pages claiming to provide livestreamed high school sports games, scheduled according to actual schools’ game calendars.

When searching for events on Facebook’s homepage, the names of local villages and high schools plus “football,” “volleyball” or “soccer” bring up dozens of fake event pages for each combination. These seem to closely follow the actual schedules of high school games in the 2022 fall season, with the exception of length: the majority of such event pages claim to have over nine-hour video streams of high school games, which usually don’t take more than a few hours. Schools’ game schedules generally aren’t too hard to find online, whether on school homepages or on sports administrators’ sites, such as states’ school athletic associa tion homepages.

Many of the game dates reviewed have multiple different, variously

spammy-looking event pages for a single game. The event cover images are usu ally stock images or fliers for the sport in question, and the posts seem to come from dozens of similarly inauthentic-seeming Facebook user profiles.

These event pages, none of which seem to have come from schools or communities themselves, offer up different links to variously suspicious pages offering free streaming services, or paid access, to high school sports.

These kinds of online ‘phishing’ scams aren’t new, but their presence on Facebook in reference to Nassau County teams seems to be. Searches suggest that last year, when school sports were still operating at a lower gear (and when students were already old hands at online and blended learning), fake Facebook events for streams weren’t being posted for our area on Facebook.

High schools in other states, however, appear to have been plagued with this fakery since at least the fall of 2020.

In October 2020, the Arizona website Sports360AZ warned readers about the exact same kind of scam: fake event pages on Facebook, created by bots, that direct people toward suspicious links for stream ing games.

“It’s bad enough family and friends can’t go to high school football games due to COVID-19, so watching game streams is the only way families can watch their athletes play this year,” journalist Devon Henry

wrote at the time. “With a dependence on streams, bots on Facebook have aggressively started a campaign to take advantage of all high school football communities across the nation.”

In fall 2021, North Carolina’s The Graham Star informed readers that the N.C. High School Athletic Assocation (NCHSAA) was warning parents and community members about fake streaming events on Facebook as well as Twitter and YouTube.

“Scammers know that people are looking for ways to follow their local high school team without being able to attend due to the pandemic,” said NCHSAA Assistant Commissioner for Media Relations James Alverson in September ‘21. “This is a quick and easy way for someone to take advantage of the high school sports fanbase and our member schools. We want to do everything we can to ensure that fans of our member schools do not fall prey to these scammers.”

This past August, just before the 2022 fall sports season kicked off, News4JAX in Jacksonville, FL reported that the Better Business Bureau had even started trying to warn the public about social media posts “that promise free, live streaming and then ask you to sign up for the service with your name and email.”

Journalist Jennifer Waugh explained in her article, “The site will ask for a credit card number and potentially more sensitive information, which is a big red flag.”

While aspects of these fake sports streams

may set off alarm bells for many social media users, less experienced platform users could easily be taken in, especially when a family member’s game is minutes from starting and there’s a rush to find the right link, say.

For families and community members of Nassau County schools (public and private) that are being affected, the events also amount to a small mountain of spam that slows down the search for real event or streaming pages: one that’s potentially very annoying, if not confusing or risky, for community sports fans who don’t have the option of attending live.

Here in our area, different schools use different methods for their actual sports livestreams, and few if any seem to be posting those links on Facebook, for the record.

Some high schools use YouTube to host livestreams of their games (where videos can also be watched after the fact, too); others use paid platforms like Hudl, but may not ever post those links publicly, or record games solely for coaches’ and teams’ review.

If you’d like to take advantage of streaming technology to keep up with your favorite local sports teams, we recommend reaching out to schools, coaches, or team members directly for that information or link.

And once you have it, it’s probably a good idea not to post that information publicly; instead, share it with people in your (real-life) circle directly.

A screenshot shows a fake Facebook event listing for volleyball game in October, supposedly played between Westbury Friends School (an elementary school in Westbury, NY) and Lamar Consolidated, a school located in Texas.

Search results on Facebook for “New Hyde Park football” reveal dozens of fake event pages, directing users to outside links, which have been ‘scheduled’ on real game days.

A Facebook event page purports to link to a nearly 10-hour livestream of a high school football game featuring Floral Park Memorial vs. Roosevelt. (Screenshots via Facebook)

So That They Shall Be Honored And Remembered

“I want you all to know that you’re always in my heart and you’re always in my prayers,” Bynoe said.

The Westbury Fire Department, which recently celebrated its 125th anniver sary, memorialized members who have passed on and those who continue to serve with a street renaming ceremony on Oct. 30. Thanks to a legislative push by Nassau County Legislators Siela A. Bynoe (D–Westbury) and Laura Schaefer (R–Westbury), Maple Avenue—a county road—was ceremo nially renamed “Firefighters Way” between Linden and Post Avenues.

Department Chaplain Jon Wicks intoned a prayer to remember “those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, have been injured or are battling illnesses related to responding to alarms and the firefighters that have served our community and surrounding communi ties through mutual aid. May all who see the [street] sign reflect on volunteer service.”

He named the four members whose names are inscribed on the New York State

Fallen Firefighters Memorial Honor Roll:

Ex-Chief Richard Dellacona (died Sept. 3, 2012), and firefighters Thomas Malaney (July 11, 1926), Robert Langer (April 3, 2015) and Guy J. Romano (Aug. 10, 2021). Except for Malaney, all died of illnesses related to 9-11.

Lieutenant Craig Stewart noted that the naming took place thanks to the efforts of a committee formed earlier this year. After thanking the legislators, he cited 50-year member Dan Francese, ex-Chief John Bartunek and Village of Westbury Trustee Steve Forte for their efforts.

Bynoe said, “It does my heart well to be here, after several months of pushing through this legislation to make sure that we could enshrine the legacy of the service of this fine department.”

She had witnessed the department’s response to the horrific train accident back in 2019 that killed three men and the huge fire earlier this year at Jamaica Ash. The legislator made it personal when she spoke of the volunteers responding to a fire at her house sparked by lightning and moving her 90-something grandmother to safety while

Schaefer thanked her colleague as “the one who got the ball rolling,” and said “I want nothing less than to be a part of anything to do with our firefighters. You never hear anything but great things about the Westbury Fire Department.”

Westbury Mayor Peter Cavallaro said of firefighters, “The things that you do are really something that you can’t replace and it just speaks to the heart and soul of each and every one of you that you spend a portion of your lives doing that on behalf the community. The reason for being here today was not a happy reason. It’s people who either had lasting impacts because of their service or actually perished because of their service.”

After remarks by Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena, Chief LaShaun Carr called on August Abbatiello, son of member and village trustee Vinnie, and Logan Stewart, son of firefighter Craig, along with Lisa Schneider, to unveiled the sign.

Schaefer told the Illustrated News, “There’s a few different [street] namings around here. We have to reassure people that nobody else’s sign was being taken down.”

Town Of North Hempstead Budget Passes

Temple Beth-El Of Great Neck Hosts 2nd Annual Shabbacappella Weekend

If you loved GLEE, Sing! or Pitch Perfect, get your vocal chords ready for the 2nd Annual Shabbacappella weekend hosted by Temple Beth-El of Great Neck (tbegreatneck.org).

After much back and forth over the past weeks, the Town of North Hempstead board voted unanimously to pass the preliminary budget at a special meeting on Novemeber 7, just barely keeping with the tradition of having it passed by Election Day.

Shabbacapella is an entire Shabbat weekend of fun and a cappella music centered around a residency by a visiting vocal ensemble. Over the weekend, the a cappella music will be enjoyed at Temple Beth-El of Great Neck (Reform) and Temple Israel of Great Neck (Conservative) as well as at their shared Kulanu Religious School.

The town meeting on the preliminary budget was held November 3. After a hostile, conten tous beginning, the board moved to recess to address some descrepencies in the budget book that was distributed for the meeting. When the board reconvened, three typos had been found where some numbers had been transposed. These typos required amendments in order to be corrected, so the board moved to hold the special meeting on November 7.

Timeline for Town of North Hempstead Budget

“There’s a great tradition of Jewish a cappella music, especially on college campuses but also professionally. In recent years groups like the Maccabeats have raised the profile of the genre online to greater visibility,” says Cantor Adam Davis of Temple Beth-El of Great Neck, who organized the weekend. “Since I arrived in 2020, TBE has hosted top A Capella groups like Tizmoret, Six13 and this year Pizmon. We get to hear some incredible singers, and when they lend their voices to our prayers during services, it’s like a chorus of angels singing with us... angels who beatbox.”

Released on Sept. 28, the tentative budget serves as a blueprint for the trustees to study and make suggested amendments at various hear ings before voting on a final budget on Nov. 3. On Oct. 11, the trustees received the Supervisor’s revised tentative budget with

Pizmon (pizmon.org) is the award-win-

one major amendment: a reduction in what she claimed was an excessively large fund balance. DeSena’s proposed tax cut, believed to be the biggest tax cut in the history of the Town of North Hempstead, came as a result of her desire to provide millions of dollars of tax relief to Town residents after the North Hempstead Town Board had been overtaxing for years and overfunding reserves by over triple what is mandated by Town policy. The Town enacted a policy in 2011 that required the Town to maintain a reserve equal to no less than 10% of the current General Fund Budget. Upon further review during the budget process, when the Town closed its books for 2020 the general fund reserves should have been around $7 million, but it had actually grown to more than $18 million, far more than what was required by the Town’s policy.

ning Jewish a cappella group drawn from students at Columbia University, Barnard College and Jewish Theological Seminary. They will perform during both Friday night and Saturday morning services, as well as support and collaborate with the cantors of each congregation during worship. A special “Pajama” performance is planned for families with small children on Saturday evening after sunset for the ceremony ending Shabbat known as Havdalah.

On Oct. 20, by a 4-3 vote, the Town of North Hempstead Town Board voted against the amendment by Supervisor Jennifer DeSena that would have cut the town portion of a property tax bill by 11 percent. It was the first public hearing on her tentative 2023 budget. Councilwoman Lurvey’s proposed amend ments to the Supervisor’s budget delivered a five percent tax reduction, rather than the double-digit tax cut the Supervisor offered.

Celebrates

East Williston Board Of Education Recognized

Amid-October East Williston School District Board of Education meeting provided the perfect opportunity to participate in this year’s New York State School Boards Association Board of Education Recognition Week.

The East Williston Board of Education includes five volunteer trustees who are elected by the community. Each trustee serves a three-year term of office without compensation. With 56 combined years of service, individually board president Mark Kamberg has served 15 years, board vice president Robert V. Fallarino, Esq. has served 14 years, board trustee David Keefe has served 13 years, board trustee Len Hirsch has served 11 years and board trustee Tasneem Meghji has served three years. The board of education spends countless hours acquiring the knowledge needed to ensure that all students receive a quality education and the efficient and effective operation of the school district.

To show their appreciation, students from each school shared their special thank-you messages. The Wheatley

School String Quartet performed followed by The Wheatley Chorale. Willets Road School fifth grade students used their creative talents to create unique thankyou cards sharing what they love most about their school. The first and third grade students at North Side Elementary School presented a touching video as their way of saying thank you to the board of education.

On behalf of the administration and staff, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Danielle Gately also thanked the board of education for their service and presented the board with a certification of recogni tion from Congressman Tom Suozzi.

“For us, as board members, the best part of this recognition is seeing the fun the students had creating and putting together their thank you messages, said board of education president Mark Kamberg. “It was quite special to see them. Thank you to the students, their families, the staff and administration.”

One Giant Leap For Garden City students

Four Garden City students who were chosen as part of the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education’s Student Spaceflight Experiments Program Mission 16 recently set up and sent their experiment for final preparations before its launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida next month.

The Student Space Experiment Team con sisting of Garden City Middle School eighth grade students Bridget Coviello, Isabelle DeNoto, Samantha Racich and Elsie Ross video conferenced with Nanoracks experts to ensure all procedures were properly followed as they loaded their samples into the minilabs for the upcoming flight and ground experiments.

Led by Dr. Elena Casio, Garden City

science curriculum coordinator, and Christine Lebenns, teacher facilitator and community program director, the students wrote an experimental proposal, detailing every step so that the astronauts can perform their experiments at the International Space Station, according to their instructions.

Additionally, two students, Maggie Rogers and Sophia Cresciullo, drew flight mission patches that will also be flown to ISS. The Space X-26, which will carry the students’ microgravity experiment and mission patches, is scheduled to launch on Nov. 18, though the date is subject to change. The district is so proud of the team’s hard work and collaboration with SSEP. Get ready for lift off, Garden City.

Five Long-Delayed Infrastructure Projects To Be Completed Through ARPA Funds

North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena announced in early October that nearly $10 million dollars of major infrastructure projects throughout the Town of North Hempstead using American Rescue Plan Act funds.

The projects approved by the federal government for use of ARPA funds include:

• $2 million dollars for the replacement of sidewalks along Westbury Avenue

• $1 million dollars for rehabilitation of the 8th & Asbury Ballfields in Carle Place

• $1.76 million dollars for improvements to Sunset Park in Port Washington

• $3.1 million dollars for conversion of businesses on Plandome Road to public sewer system in Manhasset

• $1.2 million dollars to complete construc tion of improvements to Fuschillo Park

Supervisor DeSena was joined by Nassau County Executive Bruce

County Legislator Laura

and numerous Carle Place community stakeholders at a press

conference on Westbury Avenue in Carle Place celebrating the announcement.

“These projects will help repair, maintain, and expand critical infrastructure through out our Town, and significantly improve the quality of life of our residents. This is especially important in Carle Place, a com munity that has long felt overlooked by Town government,” Supervisor DeSena said.

A China Century: Ready Or Not

Reviews of: China

Unbound: A New World Disorder, Joanna Chiu; The World According To China, Elizabeth C. Economy.

JOSEPH SCOTCHIE

Does the 21st century belong to China? Will China, as a British historian enthused, rule the world? Would the average American even notice if they did?

What does China want? In her acclaimed study, Elizabeth Economy lists history-shaking goals:

Xi [Jinping]’s ambition…is to reorder the world order. His call for “the great rejuvenation of the China nation” envisions a China that has regained centrality on the global stage: it has reclaimed contested territory, assumed a position of preeminence in the Asia Pacific, ensured that other countries aligned their political, economic, and security interests with their own, provided the world’s technological infrastructure for the 21st century, and embedded its norms, values, and standards in international laws and institutions.

The number of books on China’s rise represents a growing library, from Henry Kissinger’s historical meditation On China to Martin Jacques’ exuberant When China Rules The World to Graham Allison’s more somber Destined For War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides’ Trap?

The books reviewed here are similar. China, the authors warn, is becoming increasingly despotic at home and aggressive abroad. Hong Kong, which prospered as a British colony, is now firmly under communist control. The persecution of both Muslim and Christian minorities continues. Abroad, China spies on suspected Chinese dissidents. Its ambitious Belt and Road initiative seeks to build railways, factories, office buildings and ports of sea around the planet. When little Greece was tottering on bankruptcy, it was mighty China and not the European Union that swooped in to take charge of its economy. The Greeks didn’t mind at all.

China’s politics of intimidation are working. The most stunning example was a recent vote at the United Nations woefully misnamed Human Rights Council, one that refused to condemn

China for its mistreatment of Muslim Uighur minorities. The Western nations said “yes,” but Beijing had enough clout among Global South nations to prevail.

Both books cite the peculiarities of Chinese culture and the way that history works on the Chinese mind. For China, the past is never dead (it isn’t even past). Its Confucian heritage survived Mao Tse Tung’s brutal cultural revolution of the 1960s. The sayings of Confucius still shape the Chinese mind. As Joanna Chiu states: “[Proper] behavior is dictated by one’s position within hierarchies of superior and subordinate relationships… Children must obey their parents, younger adults must heed their elders and every citizen must be loyal to the emperor.”

This contrasts markedly with the rampant individualism consuming the Western mind unto death.

China’s “century of humiliation” is alien to Americans. However, it animates the Chinese mind decisively. The Opium Wars, the defeat at the hands of the West and Japan in the Boxer Rebellion and the latter nation’s 1931 invasion still sting. When Mao’s Revolutionary Guard took power in 1949, the Communist Party immediately plotted a 100-year plan in that by 2049, China would indeed be the most powerful country on earth.

Both books illustrate American innocence over China, plus arrogance in believing that the latter country would join the family of liberal democracies. When Richard Nixon made his historic opening to China in 1972, he grumbled to aides, “I think we’ve created a monster.” For decades, Democratic and Republican Party administrations all supported Most Favored Nation trade status to China, all with little opposition from Congress. The reasoning was that once China liberalized its economy (which it did), it would liberalize its political system (which it didn’t). American foreign policy makers forgot that China is a civilization 5,000 years old. Their rulers, even when China wallowed in poverty, weren’t going to be impressed by the upstarts from across the Pacific.

Is it too late? Was the United States, since the end of the Cold War and with the onset of the War on Terror, too caught with the goal of a unipolar world dominated by secular democracy to worry about China? For Jacques, the turning point was the 2008 Stock Market crash. Since then, the Western economies have stalled; China has boomed—even

though that boom has cooled off recently. For Allison, 2014 was key. That year, China become the world’s largest economy, at least in terms of purchasing power. The Chinese consumer market is now larger than America’s. China’s citizens have more money to spend than Americans do. If that continues, the Hollywood studios, the NBA and 1,001 other companies worldwide aren’t going to care one iota about Muslim women in the Uighur province being forced to sleep with Chinese men.

Kissinger’s On China was published in 2004, before that county became a global force. With his usual foresight, Kissinger could see that the new century would be a contest between an established superpower and a rising one. Kissinger’s voice remains a plea for understanding: The world must be big enough for different peoples and cultures, even if such nations possess nuclear arsenals. Will the average American even care about China’s rise? Xi Jinping doesn’t speak English nor does he have the desire to do so. Americans, including this reviewer, will continue to purchase Chinese goods in copious amounts. China, we must acknowledge, has its advantages: Family life in that country is secure and well-defined: The family unit is strictly a husband-wife-children arrangement. The country contains great pride in Chinese history and heritage. Up to 90 percent of the population is ethnic Han Chinese, conjuring up an America that once had similar demographics for an entirely different ethnic group. China possesses a cultural unity now long lost in the United States. The collapse of the Mom-Pop-children family unit in the U.S. has resulted in insoluble problems: rampant juvenile crime and a failed public school system. In the 1950s, the U.S. was ranked number one worldwide in reading, math, and science. Today, China rules the roost on all three levels as American scores sink to Third World levels.

The United States still has its powerful military, plus its European allies and those in Asia: Japan, South Korean, Singapore, Vietnam, Australia, and New Zealand. If China really wants to rule the world, then they are buying into lifetimes of headaches galore. Just ask the Brits and the Yanks how that turned out.

This is the biggest player in the history of the world.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S

Dog Abuser Sentenced To Jail Time And 50-Year Animal Ban

Defendant Ellie Knoller killed two puppies and nearly killed a third in 2019

Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly announced that an animal abuser was sentenced to one year in jail for killing two puppies and nearly killing a third animal in 2019.

Thirty-two-year-old Ellie Knoller pleaded guilty before Judge Teresa Corrigan to three counts of aggravated cruelty to animals (an E felony) on March 21, 2022. The defendant was sentenced to one year in jail, with five years’ probation and a 50-year ban of owning animals. Under New York State law the defendant’s potential maximum sentence was two years in jail.

“Three defenseless puppies were subjected to extraordinary violence by this defendant,” Donnelly said. “The internal injuries these animals sustained are uncommon—even in animal abuse cases— and are consistent with terrifying blunt force trauma. This case stands apart in the decades of animal crimes this office has prosecuted as one of the worst we’ve seen. New York State’s animal crime laws need to be strengthened and we encourage our legislators to review the horrors associated with this case. I thank our partners at the Nassau County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the local veterinarians who assisted our investigation.”

Donnelly said that on that Feb. 8, 2019, the defendant adopted a 10-12-week-old male Shepherd mix named Tucker from a local shelter, and by Feb. 17, the puppy was dead of a kidney rupture. Knoller inflicted blunt force trauma on the dog that resulted in the kidney rupture, causing the dog to suffer from extensive internal bleeding and die.

Additionally, on or about Feb. 18, 2019, the defendant purchased a 10-12-week-old male brown Goldendoodle puppy named

Cooper from a breeder in Pennsylvania.

On Feb. 20, 2019, Ellie Knoller brought the puppy into Garden City Veterinary Care in cardiac and respiratory arrest.

By the time a veterinarian examined Cooper he had already died. The dog’s cause of death was determined to be from a lacerated liver. Ellie Knoller inflicted blunt force trauma on the dog that resulted in the lacerated liver, causing extensive and ultimately fatal internal bleeding.

The above-listed incidents came to light following an investigation into the defendant after he brought a lethargic and lifeless 11-week-old female brown Goldendoodle puppy named Bella to Veterinary Referral & Emergency Center of Westbury on Feb. 27, 2019.

Upon examination, the veterinarians found Bella to have multiple fractured ribs, bruising on her lungs, bleeding behind her eyes and a broken leg. Bella required surgery, including the insertion of a metal rod to repair her leg and a steel plate to hold the bones in place while they healed. Ellie Knoller inflicted blunt force trauma on the dog that resulted in her injuries. One of Bella’s legs was subsequently amputated.

The defendant received Bella after complaining to the breeder that Cooper had unexpectedly died and she is from the same litter as Cooper.

Bella has been adopted by a family on Long Island and has recovered.

Assistant District Attorney Stephanie Hernan of DA Donnelly’s Animal Crimes Unit is prosecuting this case. Defendant Ellie Knoller is represented by Greg Madey, Esq. —Submitted by the office of the Nassau County District Attorney

Protesting The Consumption Of Octopus

One of the rights American citizens enjoy is the freedom of expression. You can cheer and support things that you like or choose to peacefully protest things you don’t.

People tend to protest against atrocities affecting their fellow men, like wars or civil injustices. You don’t have to agree with their cause, but they have a right to speak out against them.

That said, this column is not a political commentary on protesters. Frankly, I don’t care if people choose to eat octopus one way or another.

Recently, protesters passionate about the subject gathered at Union Square Park in New York City, chanting and holding signs with pictures of the cephalopods and slogans like “Let’s stop this cruelty!” Their target was a Spanish company called “Nueva Pescanova,” one of the largest seafood distributors in the world. Nueva Pescanova is spending $74 million on the world’s first commercial octopus farm at their research center in Galicia, Spain. The global octopus trade has ballooned to over $2.72 billion in the last 10 years. That’s a lot of tentacles.

Many Long Island restaurants that serve seafood offer some form of an octopus be it as an appetizer or an entrée. Although I’ve seen it on a menu and have Italian family

members who order the disgusting creature, it’s not for me.

So, why the angst against restaurants and supermarkets that sell octopi? Thanks to an Oscarwinning Netflix documentary, My Octopus Teacher, people are beginning to understand more about these strange, alien-looking creatures. The documentary focused on their intelligence and problem-solving abilities, noting their capacity to feel pain and have emotions. They even have longterm memories.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not a big fan of eating anything that could kill me. I like things like beef and chicken, salmon and shrimp.

I know people eat bears and snakes or wild exotic animals at a Brazilian BBQ restaurant. Again, it’s just not for me.

I’ve seen enough science fiction movies (and National Geographic

specials) to know I wouldn’t want to encounter an octopus while swimming. If there were ever a creature on Earth that looks and acts like it came from another planet, it’s the octopus. They have no bones and can slink through almost any tiny opening. Think you can kill them by harpooning them in the heart? Think again— they have three of them.

We eat cows and chicken because they taste good. Who’s to say they aren’t intelligent? In this country, we don’t eat dogs. Not because of their intellect, it’s because they are our friends. Louie the Labrador is extremely intelligent. He has feelings, emotions and problem-solving abilities. He knows exactly which one of us to approach if he wants a snack (my wife).

As an Italian kid growing up in Brooklyn in the ‘60s, I suffered through my share of the traditional Christmas Eve “Feast of the Seven Fishes.” When I was ten, my aunts and uncles insisted I “try” octopus for good luck. Of course, I didn’t eat any fish at that age.

Knowing most of my uncles were pranksters, I saw them take the tentacle out of the pot and put spaghetti sauce over it. I knew it wasn’t real because it looked like a toy. They were putting sauce on a rubber tentacle as a joke on me. After all, who would eat something as disgusting as this?

Long Island Needs A Leader

It was no secret that the 2022 election was not going to be a good one for the Democratic Party. Unable to get by public unhappiness with the party in power, the Democrats failed to develop a credible campaign even though it had many accomplishments in Washington.

The continued split between the two parties in the nation bodes ill for the next two years when we will have national gridlock, gridlock and more gridlock.

The Long Island political picture is not a happy one. Whether at the state or local level, there are no strong leaders capable of talking sense into both sides of the aisle on any regional issue. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there were a politician at the top of the ladder who could get the parties to sit down and plan collectively for two years of new accomplishments?

Regrettably, there is no elected official who commands the respect of both parties to craft a wish list of programs that will benefit our local taxpayers in general. Most of our electeds in power are wedded to the party line and are unwilling to cross either side of

the aisle.

Our local needs are no secret. The Island needs more housing that will help keep young people from fleeing to the nearby city. There are ample federal dollars available for rebuilding our roads or bridges, but someone must be the Island’s cheerleader in Washington and Albany.

Drugs continue to flood our streets and kill innocent young people at the earliest stages of their life. The bi-county area needs more dollars to ramp up drug enforcement and save those lives. The public worries about crime throughout the year but it lacks a champion for that crusade.

Our mass transit system is now at the highest level of accomplishments in our region’s history. The Grand Central connection will spread the LIRR commuters to the east side of Manhattan. Other

I played along, ready to tell them how great it was. I even tried to bite into it, knowing my teeth would bounce off it. Then I bit right through, realizing it was real!

I can’t tell you the disgust that overwhelmed me.

So, to all those protesting octopi farms and having the beast removed from restaurant menus, I support your right to protest. However, I don’t believe in depriving people who enjoy those inky mollusks of their right to dine on the eight-legged creatures. It’s a free country, right?

Not on my dinner plate, it’s not…

improvements will add value to our homeowners.

The COVID-19 pandemic experience taught us that every regional health system has to be upgraded and needs more funding. Long Island, with a population exceeding three million people, needs to be better funded to meet this challenge. There are no assurances that we will avoid any new COVID-19 outbreaks.

It is time for a champion to emerge who can unite both parties and focus on Long Island’s future. Maybe that champion is right under our noses.

INSIDE POLITICS

an End to the Bail Reform ‘Debate’

In April of 2019, New York State passed one of the most just bail reform laws in the country. Unfortunately, this law has faced tremendous resistance from New Yorkers, a resistance that has flared up considerably with the 2022 elections.

However, I assure you that these fears, while logical, are unfounded, and are simply a result of politicians trying to manipulate you to vote for them. Don’t fall for it— there’s nothing to debate about New York’s bail reform. But first, what is bail, and what was the law in question?

When you are accused of a crime, you are assigned a court date. However, the question becomes—what if the suspect simply doesn’t show up? It would be quite a hassle to chase down every suspect.

So courts demand those accused to “post bail.” The suspect produces a sum of money, usually a few hundred or few thousand dollars, that is then returned to them after their court hearing, incentivizing them to

show up in court.

But what happens if you can’t post bail? Well, you are thrown in jail without a conviction.

And you can spend a long time there; some spend months or even years awaiting a trial, years and decades of innocent people wasting away in horrid jail facilities simply because they are too poor to post bail.

What ends up happening is that the poor—and by corollary, people of color, who are more

likely to be arrested pre-tri al—often just take a pre-trial sentence regardless of whether they actually committed a crime, to avoid having to wait in jail, leaving them with a criminal record and poor prospects for employment.

The 2019 New York bail reform was meant to address this issue by 1) preventing judges from issuing bail in non-violent misdemeanors and 2) having judges avoid issuing bail unless the suspect is a flight risk.

And it was successful: upon the passage of the law, the prison population in this state was re duced by a whopping 30 percent, allowing innocent people to return to their normal lives and severely reducing the taxpayer burden on Nassau citizens.

Nevertheless, it is under standable why some are hesitant about this law. On its face, it may seem like we’re letting criminals get off the hook, but the reality couldn’t be further from the truth.

It’s important to remember that you are innocent until

proven guilty. So until a proper trial is conducted, we cannot brand people criminals. Further, judges still have tools to restrict the movement of suspects considered a flight risk, like ankle monitors and probation officers.

If an innocent is accused of a violent crime, judges can still issue bail or jail the suspect. Bail was only removed for non-vi olent crimes, like someone trespassing. Do we really need to let such a person rot in prison for months? Are you willing to foot the bill? Because before bail reform, those were the exact “criminals” you were paying to upkeep.

So bail reform is good, actually. Nevertheless, desperate politicians keep trying to whip up fear in the good people of Nassau County. They talk of a “crime wave,” and they blame the bail law. Are they right? Has crime gone up because of bail reform?

No. While crime has gone up in New York and Nassau over the past two years, crime has gone

up nationwide, including in states without bail reform. Most of those released don’t commit crimes. According to the Times Union, 98 percent of suspects released under the bail law did not go on to commit a violent crime before their court appearance. And despite the increase in crime the past two years, we are still living in one of the safest times ever in Nassau County.

Don’t believe the propaganda: bail reform was a good reform. It allowed hundreds of thousands of people to return to a normal, productive life. It preserved justice and the rule of law. And it saved Long Islanders millions in taxpayer dollars. Don’t let politicians trying to manipulate you for your vote convince you otherwise.

Annual Bethpage Turkey Drive Celebrates Fourteenth Year

Inflation drives up average cost of a Thanksgiving Dinner

Now in its 14th year, the Bethpage Turkey Drive to benefit Island Harvest Food Bank will take place on Friday, Nov. 18 from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The annual drive, which kicks off the holiday food drive season on Long Island, will include a no-contact donation car drive-through which will enable community residents to remain in their cars while volunteers remove donations from the vehicles.

Long Islanders are asked to donate frozen turkeys, non-perishable food items, supermarket gift cards or monetary donations. These donations will go directly to Island Harvest, which will help supply Thanksgiving meals to the more than 300,000 food-insecure Long Islanders. Its distribution network of more than 400 food pantries, soup kitchens, and other feeding programs on Long Island. Non-perishable food items needed include canned goods, cereal, pasta, rice, boxed juices and shelf-stable milk (please, no glass containers).

The Bethpage Turkey Drive will take place at Bethpage Federal Credit Union’s headquarters located at 899 South Oyster Bay Rd. in Bethpage.

For those unable to make an on-site donation on Nov. 18, most Bethpage branch locations are accepting non-perishable food items through Nov. 18 with the exception of the Bay Shore King Kullen and Chelsea, New York City branches.

Or, if you would rather show your support online, Bethpage is accepting online monetary donations at https://bit.ly/3zDUzyu through Nov. 30. Every gift of $35 will help support a holiday meal for your Long Island neighbors.

“Bethpage is a proud, longtime partner and supporter of Island Harvest and its mission to help end hunger on Long Island,” Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer Linda Armyn said. “I encourage everyone to join us this year by making a donation in whatever form and amount you can. With your help, we will make a difference.”

“So many of our neighbors on Long Island are a paycheck away from disaster, and record inflation and high grocery prices are putting additional burden on families struggling to put food on their tables,” Island Harvest President/CEO Randi Shubin Dresner said. “Fortunately, we have a longtime, valued partner in Bethpage Federal Credit Union helping us provide much-needed supplemental food support to the most vulnerable among us. Their ongoing support and generosity are invaluable in our mission to end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island.”

Patches will be given to all Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts who make a donation. Troop leaders can make a donation on behalf of troop members and bring back patches for the entire troop.

Since the first Bethpage Turkey Drive was organized in 2009, hundreds of community volunteers have come out to assist in the collection of more than 42,000 turkeys and over 179,000 pounds of food, which were then given to Long Island families facing hardship in time for the holidays. Island Harvest Food Bank has seen an increase in the requests for food and support services among the 400 community-based agencies it serves. About 70,000 individuals receive food assistance from the Island Harvest Food Bank network each week.

Rupert Holmes’ Fave Theatrical Productions

When the pandemic hit, Tony Award-winning playwright Rupert Holmes saw COVID-19 shut down the theatrical world on a broad scale. Closer to home, productions of his including a West End run Curtains, which was coming off a successful 2019 holiday run, plus worldwide revivals of The Mystery of Edwin Drood, came to a grinding halt. Quarantining at his Westchester home in Cold Spring, Holmes started thinking about how to creatively bounce back from this unprecedented global event. The solution? A one-actor play about tlate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG).

“I thought if theater was ever going to come back from this abyss, it may be that it has to be with shows that feature one or two actors,” he said. “Some of the most enjoyable plays that I’ve seen have been

one- or two-actor pieces. I thought if we’re going to come back, maybe these will be the first arrows we shoot into the air to get back into the world of theater. I thought who would be a good subject for a one-actor play that would be engrossing, enlightening and human? Almost immediately I thought I had to write a play about [Ruth’s] life. And make her a real human being people can get to know through this play. Anyone can read the rulings. Anyone can read the biographical data and get a feel for what drove her whole life. [I wanted to share] what her loves and passions were and why justice was so important to her.”

Holmes took a year to research and write this play. Actress Michelle Azar (NCIS: Los Angeles; How to Get Away With Murder) was tapped to play RBG. In finding the right format, actress and subject to work with, the former Levittown resident wound up creating a piece that is warm, personal, intimate and focused.

“When I write a play, I want to envision it being performed,” he explained. “I don’t

want to write a play and look at the letters on a page. Unless there’s an audience and a venue, it isn’t a play. This was a play that I could see happening in an intimate setting. I thought for a one-actor play, who better than Ruth Bader Ginsburg in this particular time? It’s a chance to make people understand what her life was about, beyond just the iconic nature of her notoriety and a chance to show that she was more than just the Notorious RBG that had become a catch-phrase; the kind of thing Saturday Night Live would spoof.”

To that end, Holmes was happy to share some of his favorite plays.

All Things Equal: The Life and Trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be running through Nov. 27 at the Bay Street Theater & Sag Harbor Center for the Arts, 1 Bay St., Sag Harbor. For more information, visit www.baystreet.org or call 631-725-9500.

The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe (1985)

“This Lily Tomlin one-woman performance kind of made me realize that you could go on quite a journey with one person performing a show.”

Say Goodnight Gracie (2002)

“When I wrote Say Goodnight Gracie , George Burns had lived to be 100. I realized that if I wrote the story of his life, I would also be writing a very definitive history of American entertainment. He was in every entertainment form the

United States had. He went from singing on the street for pennies to vaudeville. He was 30 years old when he met Gracie Allen. He had already been in vaudeville more than 15 years. He was a kid in vaudeville. Then they were the toast of vaudeville and then vaudeville started dying. They made the leap very people made from stage to radio. They had one of the most popular radio shows of the time. They became national phenomenons. Gracie Allen ran for president as a joke and got quite a number of votes. They were also making some of the first talkies that were ever made in the early ‘30s. They mad motion pictures with people like Fred Astaire and W.C. Fields. Again, they did a very difficult thing—they went from radio to television. It was an incredible transition. When George and Gracie split up, he was able to leave TV and somehow make a leap to movies. He won an Oscar at age 80 and he even had a hit record on the Top 40 at age 80-something called ‘I Wish I Was Eighteen Again’ in the country category. Outside of having a video made about him, George Burns was the history of American entertainment. You get to travel through that history and the life of a very persistent man. I admired his life and I happened to admire that play.”

What Every Woman Knows (1908)

“What Every Woman Knows was written by James Barrie, who was the author of Peter Pan. He wrote a play that was basically about the woman behind the man. It’s about a young Scottish woman whose brothers are going to get the education in the household. She starts stealing their books and makes sure she reads everything they read. She finally marries a politician and supports him. The politician in the play rises to such heights he feels like he can do without her. He leaves her and suddenly he notices he’s not making any good speeches anymore, because she was supplying him with all his ideas and philosophy from behind the scenes. I happen to love that play quite a big deal because it was an early feminist advocacy play that pointed out that women know very often that when men get good ideas, they’ve often gotten them from their wives and female friends.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Hanging out by yourself will be fun because you’ll get to enjoy exactly what you want without having to compromise. e food and entertainment is all your choice. Later in the week, you’ll look back fondly on the moments you got to do as you wish. It’s so much easier to be a good friend to others when you’re rst a good friend to yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Limitations are actually the best things that could happen to your project. When you have limited time, you’ll get things done quickly. When you have limited money, you’ll do them e ciently, too. Your project might actually turn out much better than it would have if you hadn’t had the parameters. You’re a genius at embracing these realities.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Standing where you can see means standing where you can be seen. Do you know what you should expose and what you should pro tect? ere will be decisions to be made in this regard. Maybe you won’t get them all right, but you’ll make them mindfully, which is more than most can claim.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you want something objectively, you like the idea of it but may or may not be willing to do the work it takes to make things happen. But when a want is at the level of desire, you’ll put in whatever e ort is necessary. is week, you’re still deciding how much you want a thing, and there’s no need to rush the decision.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). is week brings atypical patterns. Days lled with leisure lead to your most productive cycles. So pace yourself and interrupt periods of hard work with long, lazy stretches of doing nothing at all. In general, there is great freedom to be felt by letting go of what happened or letting go of your story about what should have happened.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). is week is a scavenger hunt. A series of small, easily solvable predicaments will lead you down this winding path. ere may be a prize at the end, but it’s minor compared to the fun and satisfaction of solving each predicament. It’s wonderful to have quality problems to work on!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Even though you’ll be turning in work to someone else this week, the truth is that you are ultimately running your own business. You’re the one who knows the investment and how it moves your goals along or doesn’t. Carve out your own opportunities. Life isn’t about getting a chance; it’s about taking a chance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People involved in today’s interactions will have di erent wants and interests from yours. If you’re to get to common ground, bridges must rst be built. Stay lighthearted and playful. ings will get complicated, but deliciously so because you keep approaching them from the perspective of fun and games.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Everyone is multidimensional. You learned long ago not to underestimate those around you or assume you know their next move. Now you can apply that lesson to yourself. You are capable of more than you think. ere’s much more to you than you are currently aware of, but you’ll learn it as the week unfolds.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). ere are overly practical types who are so focused on pro t that they do not understand e orts made for other reasons. You’ll educate them as you spend time on an impractical endeavor that makes you feel connected, peaceful and part of something indescribable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Disregard the competition and any limits that might seem to be in play. Yes, abilities and situations have rules, but they are often far less stringent than the ones you’d assume. Pretend you didn’t know any better. What would you focus on then? What can you see yourself do?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). is week’s dance will be restrained and elegant, giving you a chance to catch your breath. Small, interpersonal dramas will be part of the experience. You might have forgotten exactly what you told someone, but the other person hasn’t. Ask questions and get everyone on the same page. Good communication is a saving grace.

East’s play of the nine was an obvious suit-preference signal. Considering the club strength visi ble in dummy, East could hardly be signaling for a club continuation, so the nine could be interpreted only as directing a shift to the higher-ranking of the two side suits (spades and hearts). Had East pre ferred a heart return because he had no hearts or had the ace, he would have played his lowest club on the ace to ask for the lowerranking suit to be returned.

Accordingly, West led a spade at trick two. But in order to convince East that he wanted a club return at trick three, he led the queen instead of his fourth-best spade. Had West led the seven, East might have won with the ace and been tempted to return a spade, hoping West had the king.

East had no trouble reading the situation correctly. He took the queen of spades with the ace and returned a club. South now could not avoid going down one, and when in practice he tried to make the contract by ruffing with the jack, he was overruffed by the queen and later lost another

Mineola High School Marching Band Scores Division Championship

Capping off an undefeated season, the Mineola High School Marching Band has won the Small School Division 1 (SS1) championship, taking home the coveted SS1 trophy for the first time in Mineola history.

Under the direction of Marching Band director Chris Toomey and assistant director Zach St. John, the band, consisting of 135 students, scored their highest rating of the season for their performance entitled “The Scarlet Bandit” at the New York State Field Band Conference (NYSFBC) in Syracuse, New York on Oct. 30.

Garden City High School Presents Twelve Angry Jurors

— Submitted by Mineola High School

Mineola High School was accepted to Small School Division 1 in 2021. They previously competed in Small School Division 2, where they were champions in 2018 and 2019. The competition was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid.

Garden City High School is pleased to announce its upcoming production of Twelve Angry Jurors. Performances will be held at Garden City High School on Thursday, Nov. 17 at 4 p.m., Friday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. Based on the Emmy award-winning television movie by Reginald Rose and adapted for the stage by Sherman L. Sergel, Twelve Angry Jurors takes audiences into the deliberation room, where a jury will decide on the verdict in a capital trial. At first, it seems like an open-and-shut case with all of the jurors ready to declare the defendant guilty — all except for one. As the sole dissenter plants seeds of doubt among her peers, tension ramps up, arguments ensue and the fate of the defendant hangs in the balance. General admission tickets can be purchased for $12, while student and senior citizen tickets are $10. The Thursday, Nov. 17 performance is free to senior citizens. Tickets can be purchased in advance by visiting gchsny.booktix.com. For more information or group sales, please contact 516-478-2474.

Garden City Students Bit By Theatre Bug

Ahead of Stewart Elementary School’s January production of The Wizard of Oz, fifth grade students from Stewart and Stratford elementary schools traveled to the Argyle Theater in Babylon to see its version of the famous play.

As Dorothy traveled down the infamous yellow brick road, students sat in awe as they took in the production’s dazzling scenery, acting, singing and dancing. Students had the unique chance to ask the cast questions after the performance and gained an insider’s perspective on what life as a performer is truly like. The trip and performance provided students with an inspiring and unforgettable theater experience.

Stewart Elementary School will be performing the youth edition of The Wizard of Oz on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, at 10 a.m. and 7

p.m. Stratford Avenue Elementary School will be performing “Aladdin Jr.” on Feb. 8 and 9, at 9:30 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Elmont Memorial High School students, staff and the nearby community celebrated homecoming on Oct. 29.

The day’s events kicked off with a parade down Dutch Broadway, featuring the marching band, color guard, school clubs, cheerleaders, homecoming court and more. Each grade-level created a Halloween-themed float.

Following the parade, the Spartans hosted the South Side High School Cyclones. With cheers from the crowd, the Spartans won with a score of 24-20.

During halftime, the audience was treated to a performance by the marching band. Then, the homecoming court was honored, with Ajayda Griffith, Najwa Patterson and Preston Pressoir being named as this year’s Homecoming Royalty.

St. Brigid’s 5K Returns To Westbury

Join the dynamic community of St. Brigid’s/ Our Lady of Hope Regional School to run, walk, or cheer racers on in the five kilometer (3.1 mile) course through the beautiful Village of Westbury.

Our race is hosted by a Catholic elementary school which has over 100 years of history and it directly benefits education for the future generation. As a part of Centennial celebration, Mrs. Barbara Cooper planned the initial 5K run walk event, held in 2017. It turned out to become a unique community event that unites school, local businesses and local community for the last 5 years.

In 2020, we hosted a virtual 5K run, “Your Race, Your Way,” and had many participants from all over the world.

People or businesses see the meaning of the event and generously support over the years. We deeply care our supporters so we try our best to advertise their businesses as much as possible to our participants.

This year is the first time in STB/OLH 5K history to have Race Sponsor, Mr. Glen Wolther, owner of All Round Foods, with a generous $5000 donation plus all sort of bakery products for the post-race refreshment station. He is not directly related to STB/OLH,

but Mr Wolther has been a supporter of the Long Island running community for years, and is an avid runner himself.

For our younger runners, don’t miss the Kids Fun Run. Awards and fellowship to follow the race.

St. Brigid’s front parking lot on St. Brigid Lane will be closed for the race. Please use the back parking lot on Drexel Avenue or residential street parking.

Awards and fellowship to follow the race. Questions? Please contact run@stbolh.org.
