CrossFitting For Artie

site of

DAVE GIL de RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

When 45 people showed up at the Crossfit Massapequa gym to perform a WOD (Workout Of the Day) named Artie, it was a means of honoring the 10-year anni versary of Nassau County Police Emergency Services officer Arthur “Artie” Lopez’s on-duty death following a routine traffic stop of a hit-and-run driver on October 23, 2012 at Jamaica Avenue in Bellerose. The perpetrator, then33-year-old Darrell Fuller, pulled a gun and shot Lopez, fled the scene, car-jacked a vehicle, killing motor ist Raymond Facey in the process, and fled up the nearby Cross Island Parkway. With Lopez now gone for 10 years, fellow police officer and CrossFit Massapequa trainer/ coach Jethro Cardona thought it only appropriate to honor the fallen officer in this way.

“As a newly minted CrossFit coach over at CrossFit Massapequa, I decided what better way to honor [Artie’s] legacy be cause when we stop talking about what happened and stop speaking his name, it kind of goes away as if it didn’t happen,” Cardona said. “CrossFit has a number of Hero Workouts in honor of those who’ve fallen either in the line of duty or in the military. It is not your typical three-minute workout of push-ups and pull-ups. It’s really a tough workout which brings the

community together x`and helps to share in the suffering of that day.

As we know, once you suffer with people next to you, around you and all together, it makes it that much more memorable when you think about Artie.”

While the 15-year Nassau County Police Department (NCPD) veteran only met Lopez once in passing, mutual friends reinforced how appropriate a WOD in the slain officer’s name would be.

memorial

“A childhood friend of mine knew Artie well and said he was an avid CrossFitter,” Cardona ex plained. “He was all about fitness, staying in shape and being ready for duty.”

Among the roughly 80 people showing up for the Oct. 22 workout were police brass, local residents and members of event sponsors Nassau County Police Activity League (PAL) and the Nassau County Police Department’s

slain officer

Hispanic Society, a fraternal organization that the Puerto Rican Cardona belongs to. In addition, money was raised for the Concerns of Police Survivors, a nonprofit organization serving the needs of those family members who have lost loved ones on the job. Heartened by the turnout, the New Hyde Park native-by-way-ofBrooklyn-transplant said Lopez’s death was a sobering reminder of the challenges law enforcement face on a regular basis.

“It just goes to show that a normal traffic stop is never normal wherever you are in the country, whatever time of day, whatever time of year—anything can go wrong at any time,” Cardona said. “The biggest challenge [of the job] is being able to let things go. I caught a call of a medical episode of an eight-month-old infant that wasn’t breathing. You can go from that to trying to separate arguing family members to a routine car accident. You have to wear differ ent hats. You have to wear the hat of a medic, a guidance counselor, police officer and a lawyer and you have to be able to change those hats at the drop of a time with every call you get, which is very challenging.”

WODs are an intense, cross mix of aerobic exercise, calisthenics (bodyweight exercises) and Olympic weightlifting crammed into a tight time frame with small, interspersed rest intervals. It’s a tough workout and one that Cardona felt was a great way to remember Lopez.

“What I told everyone in the

debriefing before each workout was that while you are working heard at the eleventh minute or the seventeenth minute or whatever minute you’re at where it’s really hard at that point, just think about how Artie would give anything to be here doing that right then and there,” he recalled. “I told them to keep that in mind and to honor Artie in that way.”

As someone who started CrossFitting nine years ago and becoming a Level 1 trainer in 2015, Cardona is well aware of the positive effects of wellness and fitness, particularly when it comes to processing grief and trauma. Which reinforced his idea of making this particular WOD at CrossFit Massapequa a regular annual event in Lopez’s name “...as long as the gym will have me.”

“With this being the first year of doing it, I had no idea what to expect,” he said. “It was very humbling in terms of everyone who showed up and donated and they had nothing but good things to say about it. It all starts with the preparation, articulation and bringing the community together. There is nothing better in CrossFit than getting the community together and sharing this experi ence with law enforcement and the community, especially the community members who don’t even do CrossFit who came down to check it out. That was a really amazing thing to see.”

Town Of Oyster Bay Passes 2023 Budget

JENNIFER

jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

The Town of Oyster Bay Town Board approved the 2023 budget during a Tuesday, Oct. 25 meeting. The vote came after two budget hearings on Oct. 18, both of which received very little participation from the public.

The budget continues the $1.3 million property tax cut approved in 2018 by freezing taxes.

The town board voted to receive the Supervisor Joseph Saladino’s 2023 proposed budget on Oct. 4.

“The proposed budget for 2023 continues to pay down record amounts of town debt while enhancing the delivery of quality town services, and, I believe, ever improving quality services,” Sal adino said at the Oct. 4 meeting. “Since first taking office back in 2017, we have successfully re duced town debt by $187 million, and that’s net because we’re still spending money on paving the roads, buying those new trucks, and everything we spend capital money on, but the net—mean ing after the expenditures and the savings— the net result is a cumulative $178 million less debt than we had back in 2017. We also eliminated the $44 million multi-year deficit to our operating budget that previously existed.”

To continue confronting the town’s debt, approximately $78.2 million will be allocated towards debt service, $14 million lower than in 2017. The new budget also reflects a 2.6 percent spending growth while keeping the tax levy below $233 million, as it has been since 2018. The town’s multiple credit rating upgrades has put it in a good position when the town bonds for projects. Also helping to keep the town balanced is an early retirement incentive that has saved the town millions of dollars, as well as replacing inefficient boilers, installing LED street lights and performing more in-house work.

“This budget contains no gimmicks, no one-shot revenues,” Saladino said. “This proposed budget is fully balanced, and every line item within it, fully balanced. It does not rely on any borrowing for cash flow purposes. We have 100 percent stopped that a number of years ago. We will continue to restrict new spending while

investing in roadways and, in fact, hundreds of roads have already been repaved with many more roads planned for the coming year. We’ll also continue to invest in our parks, pools, beaches and the resources needed to combat zombie homes among others.”

The highway department is receiving an increase of $343,228 in tax levies; and the park districts (including Jericho, Bethpage, Glenwood Glen Head, Massapequa, Oyster Bay, Syosset, South Farmingdale, among others) is receiving a total of approximately $1.2 million in tax levies. However, there is a decrease of $805,545 in tax levies for town operations because of a budget cut for a draining district, lighting district and solid waste disposal district. And good news for the Glenwood-Glen Head Water District, Plainview Fire Department, East Norwich Fire Protection and North Farmingdale Fire Protection, because an additional $801,840 in tax levies will be allocated towards those contractual services.

“To keep our downtowns vibrant and our storefronts filled, this proposed budget invests money in downtown revitalization in those initiatives while supporting small businesses and nonprofit organizations that we’ve received through the Federal government,” Saladino said. “In Hicksville and Syosset, downtown business districts, revitalization projects are getting underway to beautify the area, improve accessibility, and advance pedestrian safety initiatives.”

Funding for these revitalization efforts comes from grant funding and investments within the capital budget.

And to further help residents, the Town of Oyster Bay was a recipient of $16 million in federal funds to assist renters facing eco nomic hardship and housing secu rity as a result of the pandemic.

“Plans for 2023 include even more road improvements – we’ve paved hundreds of roads over the past few years, and will do many more in the coming year,” Saladino said. “We have and continue to improve parks – again using grant funding wherever possible – and will continue to replace fields and playgrounds throughout the town.”

BOOK TALK

Cuba Libre? The Kremlin Takes Charge

JOSEPH SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

Sixty years ago last month, Americans, during a 13-day period between Oct. 16 and Oct. 29, 1962, went to bed without knowing if there would be a tomorrow.

There was a new morning—but it was a close call. What better way to re-live those events than by revising Robert F. Kennedy’s 1969 memoir, Thirteen Days? The slim volume was written by Kennedy in 1967 as the man, now a U.S. senator from New York, was still mourning his older brother’s assassination.

Around this time, Kennedy was re-thinking America’s involvement in Vietnam, a war he initially supported. At the same time, Kennedy worried that antiwar activity might result in a turn towards America’s traditional isolationism. Kennedy was becoming antiwar, but he still was a liberal internationalist.

Thirteen Days takes you there in the rooms where the fate of the world was being debated. When John F. Kennedy was elected president in 1960, his father, Joseph Kennedy, was as blunt as a steel toe: Make your younger brother Attorney General. No president needs an independent AG.

Bobby Kennedy was more than an attorney general. He was deeply involved in foreign affairs. And when it was discovered that Soviet nuclear weapons were in Cuba, the younger Kennedy was the president’s most important advisor.

How did the world end up on the brink? During the 1950s, Soviet ideology was popular throughout the world. The Russians portrayed themselves as anti-imperialists to the newly freed nations in Asia and Africa. Marxism was still a fighting cause. In the 1950s, the Eisenhower Administration moved swiftly to overthrow a Marxist regime in Guatemala and replace with a pro-American one. Into its lame duck years, that popular administration dropped the ball on Cuba. On New Year’s Day 1960, Fidel Castro’s guerrilla army topped the Batista regime. In early 1961, the New Frontiersmen attempted a coup with an army of Cuba exiles. JFK’s

hawks, including General Curtis Le May, advised air strikes to assist the insurgency. Kennedy said no. Castro repelled the invasion. It was surreal. Mighty America had allowed a pro-Soviet regime on its doorstep.

Castro remained paranoid. He was convinced another American invasion was forthcoming. He appealed to Moscow for help. The Soviets were hesitant to assist the mercurial Castro. Still, Nikita Khrushchev gave in. Nuclear weapons were delivered. In 1961, Khrushchev took JFK’s measure and believed that the young man could be pushed around. Soon afterward, the Berlin Wall was constructed.

Was the world on the brink? Le May and other hawks advocated an air war on the Cuban mainland. The administration settled for a naval blockade. The Soviet flotilla kept streaming towards the Caribbean. Was this really the end? Writes RFK:

I think these few minutes were a time of grave concern for the President. Was the world on the brink of a holocaust?...His hand went up to his face and covered his mouth. He opened and closed his mouth. He opened and closed his fist. His face seemed drawn, his eyes pained, almost gray. We stared at each other across the table. For a few fleeting seconds, it was almost as though no one was there and he was no longer the President.

The voices droned on, but I didn’t seem to hear anything until I heard the President say: “Isn’t there any way we can avoid having our first exchange with a Russian submarine---almost anything but that?”

“No, there’s too much danger to our ships. There is no alternative,” said [Secretary of Defense Robert] McNamara. “Our commanders have been instructed to avoid hostilities if at all possible. But this is what we must prepared for, this is what we must expect.”

News soon came a few Russian ships had stopped in the water. It was only temporary. More warships were headed across the Atlantic. President Kennedy allowed a Bulgarian freighter to make its way to Cuba. The man did not want to

fire first. Meanwhile, Adlai Stevenson, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, had come up with a compromise: The U.S. would remove its nuclear warheads from Turkey in exchange for the Soviet withdrawal from Cuba. The Kremlin also took charge. Was Khrushchev being pushed aside for being too soft? In addition to missile removal from Turkey, the United States had to promise Moscow that it would never invade Cuba. This was at a time that the U.S. was significantly stronger militarily than the U.S.S.R.

It worked. Kennedy, on the surface, remained firm. The U.S. would meet Moscow’s demands. First, however, those missiles would have to leave Cuba. That happened as well. Meanwhile, the younger Kennedy attended a horse show with his daughters. The New Frontiersmen had done all they could.

I returned to the White House. The President was not optimistic, nor was I. He ordered 24 troop-carrier squadrons of the Air Force Reserve to active duty…He had not abandoned hope, but what hope there was now rested with Khrushchev’s revising his course within the next few hours. It was a hope, not an expectation. The expectation was a military confrontation by Tuesday and possibly tomorrow…

On Saturday morning, Oct. 20, it ended. Moscow agreed to dismantle the missile sites. Kennedy’s approval ratings shot into the mid-70s. The man confided to an aide that if the American public had known the details of the negotiations, they might be outraged. After the Bay of Pigs defeat, Kennedy traveled to Miami to give a big speech in the Orange Bowl, where he promised Cuban refugees that the Bay of Pigs flag would “fly over a free Cuba.” That promise was chucked out the window.

By now, you know where this is headed. Sixty years later, the Cold War has been replaced by a hot one. The United States and Russia are at war with each other over the latter’s invasion of Ukraine. It is a proxy war on the Americans’ behalf, but a war to the death nonetheless. Castro was

paranoid about an American invasion.

In early 2022, when Ukraine made noises about joining the NATO alliance, Vladimir Putin had his own bout. There was no chance that NATO would extend membership to that eastern European nation. Just the idea sent Putin into military action.

The Russo-Ukrainian War has stalled. The Biden Administration, it appears, sees Moscow’s failings as an opportunity to finish off Putin’s regime once and for all. NATO has joined its American masters in a total victory mode. Putin, we are being told, cannot lose, either. A fight to the death over Ukraine? Sixty years ago, both sides were willing to give a little.

The expectation was a military confrontation by Tuesday and possibly tomorrow…

East Williston Man Charged With Attacking Police During Capitol Riot

Islip, Long Island, O’Kelly was released on $100,000 bond.

JANET BURNS

jburns@antonmediagroup.com

An East Williston man was recently charged with multiple crimes in rela tion to his actions at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

John O’Kelly, an attorney who previously served as a board member at the East Williston School District, was charged with multiple felonies and misdemeanors for his actions on Jan. 6, which allegedly include trying to take a police officer’s baton and shoving a barricade into a line of police. The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section.

O’Kelly, 66, also previously served as an attorney for a group known as the Lawyer’s Committee for 9/11 inquiry, which believes that the 2001 fall of New York City’s World Trade Center was brought on by pre-planted explosives.

Federal Bureau of Investigation court documents obtained by NBC News suggest that O’Kelly was identified by the FBI using a variety of methods; following the violent U.S. Capitol riot, the FBI released images for public review of persons of interest from the incident, which online anti-seditionists soon disseminated.

According to an unnamed FBI agent who submitted testimony, “[The] Twitter account @SeditionHunters, which is one of a series of civilian Twitter accounts that crowdsource and share information to help identify FBI BOLOs [or ‘Be On the Look-Outs’] from the Capitol riot, began using the hashtag #midwhitecrisis to organize the information related to BOLO #294.” O’Kelly was also reportedly visible in at least one professional photographer’s images of that day, including a near-panaromic shot of the chaos available on Getty Images.

Later on, the FBI was able to confirm O’Kelly’s identity after speaking to a longtime family friend of his, allegedly.

In October, news outlets revealed that O’Kelly has been charged with six felonies, including civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding police officers, as well as “...the standard Jan. 6 misdemeanors for engaging in physical violence, disorderly conduct, and entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds,” according to LawAndCrime.com.

After his arrest earlier this year, and following a virtual arraignment in Central

According to a press release by the U.S. Department of Justice: “[On] the afternoon of Jan. 6, 2021, O’Kelly illegally made his way to the West front of the Capitol grounds where rioters were fighting with law enforcement officers attempting to maintain a police barrier. At approximately 2:28 p.m., O’Kelly emerged from the crowd and grabbed at the baton of an officer, attempting to take the weapon from the officer. The officer fought back and was able to keep the baton in his possession. O’Kelly then took a step back and pushed a metal bike rack being used to secure the perimeter into the line of officers.”

According to the Justice Department, more than 880 people in “nearly all 50 states” have been arrested for crimes relating to the Jan. 6 riot, including “...over 270 individuals charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement.”

COLUMNS Absentee Voting Seems EZ

Due to my physical limitations since getting spinal surgery in June, I decided to take advantage of New York State’s Absentee Ballot program for the 2022 election cycle.

Although I am acutely aware of the 2020 Presidential Election absentee ballot debacle (real or imagined), I felt confident enough that the Elections Board (at least here in Nassau County) must have worked out all the kinks by now, right? After all the nonsense about ghost ballots, stuffing the ballot box and mailing ballots to voters who did not request them, I thought I would try it.

Don’t get me wrong; I am not entirely disabled. Just a few months post-surgery, I can walk short distances and stand for short periods. I don’t know what I will encounter during the early voting or Election Day. Once I get inside, I might need a chair to sit down or something to lean on. It’s a critical midterm election, and I want to ensure my voice is heard.

I Googled how to obtain a New York State Absentee Ballot and went to the Nassau County website (https://www.nassau countyny.gov/567/AbsenteeBallot-Application). There are three different ways to get a ballot, depending on your level of computer competence.

To request a ballot online, you enter personal information through the ominous-sounding “Nassau County Absentee Ballot Portal.” Here you will enter the county you live in, your name and your date of birth. Once verified as a registered voter, complete the request form, identifying where and how you want the ballot delivered (your address, a different address,

or pickup at the board of elec tions office) and the reason for requesting an absentee ballot (be aware, there is no selection for “I don’t want to go out of my house anymore”).

Absentee ballot requests can also be printed, filled out by hand, and mailed to the Nassau County Board of Elections. One caveat, the Board of Elections MUST receive your request 15 days before Election Day (Nov. 8).

The last option is to mail them an old-fashioned letter with all your pertinent information: Name, date of birth, address and so on.

As a healthcare IT professional, I chose the portal to request the absentee ballot. An oversized envelope arrived from the Nassau County Board of Elections within a few days.

It contained a complete ballot, a “ballot” envelope and a “return” envelope. Once you have completed your ballot (coloring in the dots), place it in the “Ballot” envelope, which you will sign, date and seal. The board of elections will verify your signature to the one on file.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the signature they might have on file for me. I only remember signing that card once—when I was 18.

Place the “ballot” envelope inside the prepaid “return” envelope and ensure the barcode peaks through the little window.

Once completed, drop the package off at any Election site during early voting until election day. If you trust the postal service (and who doesn’t?), it must be postmarked by Election Day and arrive no later than seven days after the polls close.

Can it be any easier than that? No waiting in a line, no anxiety over placing your ballot in that scanning machine, only to be told you put it in the shredder instead. No worrying about running into your nosy neighbor who always asks, “Who did you vote for?”

It reminds me of when NY State came up with EZ Pass. At first, I didn’t trust it. I thought I would be overcharged or get stopped at the toll booth and forced to lie on the ground with a

gun pointed at my head because my EZ Pass account was sus pended. Now I love the EZ Pass system and never travel without it. There is no greater joy than rolling up to a toll booth with EZ Pass and seeing that green light come on, saying, “Thank You!”

Here’s hoping the board of elections continues to make future voting as “EZ” as possible

LIRR $2.6 Billion Main Line Third Track Hits And Misses

There is more to the announcement at the Westbury LIRR Station by Governor Kathy Hochul, MTA Chairman Janno Lieber and LIRR President Catherine Renaldi that the $2.6 billion Main Line Third Track has been completed. It is true that this will bring a number of benefits. Safety for residents and commuters will improve with the elimination of eight major street level grade crossings. When trains suffer from mechanical difficulties, there will be new options to maintain service and minimize disruptions. Rush hour capacity will increase, providing additional services including reverse peak commuting.

However, they also said that there was still outstanding work remaining. At the Westbury Station, this includes renovation of the station building, both pedestrian overpasses, some elevators and the south parking lot. There is remaining work at both other stations and landscaping that will take until April 2023. There is also completion of contract punch list items (to insure the contractors built the asset to meet design and engineering contract specifications), receipt of all asset maintenance manuals, payments for outstanding bills, and release of contract retainage to contractors. Only then, is the project really complete

In 2005, the project was following the federal National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) with the intention of applying to the Federal Transit Administration for construction funding. In response to both community and political opposition from local elected officials, the project was canceled by that generation’s MTA & LIRR Management team.

In 2016. the Third Track Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to support the project was in compliance with the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQUA). Without compliance with NEPA, the MTA forfeited the opportunity to access FTA or Federal Highway Administration funding.

In January 2018, the MTA and LIRR awarded a $1.8 billion contract to the joint venture 3rd Track Constructors. An additional contract, for $99.9 million, was awarded to an Arup-Jacobs joint venture to assist the LIRR in project management. Funding primarily to pay for this came from a $3 billion MTA 2015-19 Five-Year Capital Program Amendment. This action increased the MTA agency budget from $29 to $32 billion. They are paid for by adding $1.6 billion in longterm MTA debt. Hochul, Lieber & Renaldi claim that the project is $100 million under budget. This savings doesn’t include millions in annual debt service payments to cover the cost of borrowing for project financing. If the $100 million in savings are real, do they remain with the LIRR to pay for other capital improvement projects? Since the 1990s, estimates for

construction grew from $600 million to $1.5 billion in 2016, $2 billion in 2017 and $2.6 billion in 2018. To pay for the project, $1.95 billion came from the MTA $32 billion 201519 Five Year Capital Plan. Another $600 million comes from the $51 billion 2020-24 Five-Year Capital Plan.

Amtrak is spending millions on planning initiatives to support future plans of a new $105 billion High Speed Corridor Service between Washington and Boston. It would traverse Long Island via the Main Line Third Track with promised speeds up to 200 miles per hour. I don’t believe that construction of the Main Line Third Track was designed to accommodate speeds of up to 200 miles per hour.

In our new COVID-19 world, the MTA needs to re-evaluate previous anticipated future ridership growth projections for LIRR investments such as Main Line Third Track. How many years will it take before returning to pre COVID-19 ridership numbers? Only 70 percent of pre COVID-19 ridership has returned to date. The MTA’s own independent consultant predicted that a return to 100 percent pre-COVID-19 ridership may not occur until 2030. Many continue to work from home part or full time rather than ride the LIRR. What is the basis under our new post COVID-19 world to justify the promised new ridership especially reverse commuters? Did the MTA & LIRR ever update their ridership modeling to validate promised increased ridership? More people will continue telecommuting from home part or full time. There will be fewer face to face meetings and conferences, with increased usage of Zoom and other teleconference technologies. Manhattan-based corporations continue downsizing existing office space. Others are relocating employees to suburban offices closer to home. Was investing $2.6 billion for Main Line Third Track worth it? The verdict is still out. Time will tell over the coming years if commuters and taxpayers will see all of the benefits promised by elected officials, MTA and LIRR presidents.

Museum Seeks Sherman Tank Veterans, Families

On the 80th anniversary of the iconic Sherman tank that spearheaded America’s liberation of Europe during World War II, the Museum of American Armor is seeking to honor those veterans who crewed these legendary vehicles along with their families.

The Armor Museum has put out an “All Points Bulletin” for Sherman tank families to join the Armor Museum in observing the milestone anniversary on Thursday, Nov. 10, at noon, on the eve of Veterans Day 2022.

“Sadly, we recognize that many of the Sherman tank crews are gone but their legacy is lasting,” Kevin Carroll, the Armor Museum’s community affairs director said. “The invitation is out to all surviving Sherman tankers but we are also asking the families of Sherman veterans to join us in ceremonies that mark the 80th anniversary of when this iconic tank was introduced into combat.”

In recognition of its considerable impor tance, the Armor Museum’s acquisition of a Sherman tank was one of the first actions undertaken by the museum’s founder and president Lawrence Kadish when he under took the creation of the museum.

“The Armor Museum continues to offer a powerful presentation that keeps alive the legacy of our nation’s military and the gift of freedom they have given all of us,” Kadish said. “The Sherman tank is an important

part of that story and so we are asking tanker veterans or their survivors to come forward and help us preserve their legacy.”

Some 50,000 Sherman tanks were built by nearly a dozen different manufacturers during World War II, making them available to the Allies as well as American forces fighting in Europe and the Pacific. While not as well armed as its German opponents, the Sherman proved to be reliable, relatively fast, and produced in great numbers. As combat evolved during the conflict, America tankers changes their tactics to confront and defeat the enemy’s superior armor.

“You can’t effectively tell the story of American courage during World War II without this particular tank on operational display,” Kadish said.

Sherman veterans or their families are invited to reach out to the museum through its website, www.museumofamericanarmor. com to confirm their attendance.

HOME & DESIGN Which Life Events Affect Life Insurance?

Life insurance can provide someone’s loved ones with financial security if they pass away, but the amount of coverage and range of benefits that a person requires will depend on what stage of life they’re in and how many people they need to protect.

Here are five life events that are good times to re-evaluate coverage.

Marriage

While it might not be the first thing on their minds, newlyweds will want to make sure their new spouse is protected if something happens. This may be as simple as adding a spouse as a beneficiary to an existing policy.

Spouses may also consider a new life insurance policy to protect their income. The two people in a committed relationship will likely rely on each other for financial support, and if something were to happen, it could mean an immediate loss of income.

Buying a Home

Finding that perfect place to settle down and start a family is another big milestone. For most homebuyers, this is one of the biggest purchases they will make in their lifetime, and the majority of home purchases come with a mortgage.

If one member of a couple were to pass away while they were paying back their mortgage, the family could face serious financial strain and may lose their home. Homebuyers should re-evaluate their life insurance to make sure that, in addition to covering lost

income, the mortgage could be fully paid off with the death benefit.

Having Children

A baby brings both joy and new responsibilities. They need food, diapers, and tons of supplies. On top of this, parents need to think about other long-term expenses like college.

To ensure financial security for a new child, parents often need to either re-evaluate their life insurance policy or get their first life insurance policy. Ensuring that a child would be financially secure even if something were to happen is a key reason many people get their first life insurance policy.

Higher Income

Most working professionals won’t stay at one income level or job throughout their career. There are annual raises, bonuses, promotions, and lucrative career changes.

A new job or big raise is a great time to reevaluate life insurance coverage. What someone earned 10 years ago may be much less than what they’re making today, and if insurance coverage is left unchanged, it could lead to an insufficient death benefit.

Retirement

If retirees have a permanent life insurance policy, the cash value component can be useful in retirement, as it can be as a stable source of funding that may help them weather market downturns and manage taxes.

Love Songs for Losers may be a rather cynical title for The Lone Bellow’s newest outing, but the band’s fifth full-length album instead represents a host of new possibilities for the Tennessee outfit by way of Brooklyn. Having worked with The National’s Aaron Dressner and storied Grammy Award-winner Dave Cobb as producers, The Lone Bellow’s creative core— Zach Williams, Kanene Donehey Pipkin and Brian Elmquist—instead took the helm. Adding to the intrigue of Elmquist and Jacob Sooter taking on production duties as part of this creative pivot was the band’s decision to spend eight weeks recording at Roy Orbison’s house at Old Hickory Lake just outside of Nashville. What started out as Elmquist rhetorically asking, “Wouldn’t it be nice to write a whole album of love songs?” following the completion of 2020’s Half Moon Light turned into a bonding experience Williams felt made the already-close outfit even tighter as friends.

“I’m so thankful that we took a chance and did it ourselves this time,” Williams said. “Brian was definitely behind the wheel in production. He had the vision of the vibe and instrumentation. Kanene worked on the vocals a lot more than she’s ever been able to and had a lot of fun with that. Just using our actual bassist [Jason Pipkin] and drummer [Julian Dorio]—it was just really inspiring and a great time.”

Elmquist was equally effusive about the experience.

“We just had band camp at Roy Orbison’s house, which is a crazy thing to say out loud,” he said. “I

was so proud of how everybody came and really gave every-thing they had. It was a special thing to be a part of. We’re 10 years into this. It’s like trying to create space to be inspired and have fun. You’ve got to find ways to work with your friends. I was really just happy that we’re still finding ways to be inspired as a group.”

Because the music industry love labels, you’ll find The Lone Bellow filed under Americana thanks to a sound that draws from country, blues, rock and roll, gospel and folk. But for Williams, his group defies categorization (“We’re totally genre-less because we love reinventing what we do”) while Elmquist is less concerned about what to call what his band does and more about “...trying to tell a common person’s story and lend them our pen.” To that end, the Georgia natives are more than happy to share which artists and bands serve as an inspiration for what they do in The Lone Bellow.

My Morning Jacket (1998 to the present)

Zach Williams: “For me, My Morning Jacket was a huge influence, especially when they did the Monsters of Folk project. There was something really cool about seeing all those dudes collaborate and do that. It was a big thing for me. I love Jim James’ stage presence and his sense of hospitality in the room. He just has a very tender spirit and you can sense it coming off the stage. That’s a really hard thing to project decades in.”

Willie Nelson (April 29, 1933 to the present)

Brian Elmquist : “Willie creates [songs using] the common man’s language. That’s basically what I like to listen to. It doesn’t matter if it’s rock, rap or country. People that don’t have much and they sing about it. That’s where music comes from anyway. All the music from the South is from poor people’s front porches basically.”

George Strait (May 18, 1952 to the present)

Brian Elmquist: “I think he was one of the last practitioners of the big Nashville sound like before Garth Brooks. The chord progressions—he’s written very quirky country songs and it’s really interesting. If you go back and listen to him now, you realize that he took a lot of chances even though it’s in that format.”

The Lone Bellow will be appearing on November 13 at Webster Hall, 125 East 11th St., NYC. Visit www.websterhall.com or call 212-260-4700 for more info. Visit www. longislandweekly.com to read a full feature on The Lone Bellow.

HOROSCOPES

HOROSCOPES By Holiday Mathis

By Holiday Mathis

By Holiday

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Self-knowledge is rarely born of a leisurely exploration of who you are. Instead, it springs from the heat of action, as you get a job done. Your role comes into vivid view. Mundane aspects of your world will seem somehow touched with specialness. You’ll understand exactly who you are and what you need to do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). ere’s no reason to x, organize or clean a thing you’re about to discard. But consider documenting it so you can remember the time when it was yours. You’ll save time and energy by getting rid of things at the opportune moment. ere’s an art to know when that is, and you’ll master it this week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You think you know what makes you happy, so it’s very surprising when the typical favors don’t bring about the feeling you’d hoped for. Oddly, good things can ultimately come from being put out and dis pleased. It helps to be open-minded. Don’t worry about heeding expectations and sticking within systems.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Happiness is a streamlined experience. at means letting go of anything that creates what the athletes and race car drivers call “drag.” If it’s sticking out or otherwise creating friction with the wind or water, smooth it down or get rid of it so you can cut through with the least possible amount of resistance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Maybe from the outside you look like one person doing one thing, but you’re not. You represent many. You operate on behalf of many. You not only contain multitudes; you move for them, too. ere’s nothing you can do that won’t a ect them all. e knowledge will have you considering your choices very carefully.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t really have to develop your uniqueness, which has always been a part of you. What you do have to do is notice it, which takes a bit of discovery and probably the help of a backdrop that allows you to compare, contrast and shine in the way that is special to you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). While shooting for an unlikely outcome, have fun with the process. e more unlikely you are to succeed, the more fun you should have -- why not? While assessing obstacles to the goal, also gure out what’s standing in the way of your fun. e more you can enjoy this, the better your results will be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Love is the magic ingredient with its own improb able math and chemistry, too. If you apply great amounts of skill, money and talent to a project but do not apply love, you won’t nd as much success as you would had you applied a small amount of skill, money and talent and a great amount of love.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In most situations, you want people to know the real you instead of your credentials. But this week, it will sometimes be ipped. You’ll have rapport with someone, and getting to know more relevant background information will lead to nding out where your shared interests lie and how you can help one another.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some may want to help but can’t. Others have the kind of “help” you don’t need. Knowing how di cult it can be to nd just the right kind of assistance, you will treasure your luck in this regard. When this week brings just the quality assistance you need and deserve, you’ll make sure everyone feels valued.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Communication rules are generally speci c to a particular culture and are therefore more di cult to cross than many would imagine. In general, it can take boldness to get to know someone new. Sometimes many attempts are needed before a person feels inclined to let you in. If it’s important to you, be persistent.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll turn the mood way up this week. You’re well aware that the human brain is wired to remember bad experiences more vividly than good ones. Reversing the tendency takes work, and you’re up to it! As you focus on the wins, what makes you feel good and what you’re proud of, you grow in power.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Your physical shape will mirror your emotional shape. Your best moments are born from connection with friends and loved ones, sometimes in groups but most notably one-on-one with a particular relationship that is very good for your heart. You’ll thrive in a job that uses your talent, though you will also discover what you need to learn to move forward. Invest in your own education, and when the class is complete, you’ll get double your money’s worth in a matter of months.

The grand slam force

Renmark Roma Sand Scone Soil Tara Towers Uluru Waddi West Young

Solution:

Many players shun artificial bid

conventions and are content

for Blackwood and Stay

or two other gadgets that might appeal to them. There is much to be said for this natural style of bidding. Readers of this column have probably detected an implicit endorsement of the more natural methods of bidding.

But this philosophy can be carried too far because there are some rela tively simple artificial conventions

that can be profitably adopted without interfering with natural bidding.

One such convention is the grand slam force. This convention addresses itself specifically to the case where a player feels there is an excellent chance for a grand slam, provided there is no loser in the trump suit.

Consider this deal where North would happily bid seven hearts if he knew that his partner’s hearts were headed by at least the K-Q. He elicits this information by leap ing to five notrump, a special bid that commands partner to bid seven if he holds two of the three top trump honors, regardless of the rest of his hand. The five-notrump bid implies that hearts — the last suit named — are trump. South has no choice but to bid seven hearts, which is easily made.

The grand slam force is seldom used, partly because grand slam hands are seldom dealt. But when the occasion arises, the convention can be invoked by either player to determine the solidity of the part nership’s trump holding.

One word of caution should be added. Care must be taken not to confuse this convention with the Blackwood five-notrump bid that asks for kings. The Blackwood fivenotrump bid for kings is always preceded by a four-notrump bid asking for aces.

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each

MacArthur Boys And Girls Win Conference Soccer Titles

JAMES ROWAN editors@antonmediagroup.com

The MacArthur boys and girls soccer programs each captured their respec tive conference titles. It also happens to be the third consecutive conference championships for each program.

The boys clinched the Conference A East title, while the girls went unbeaten to capture the Conference A1 championships. The Lady Generals are 11-0-2. The Generals are 11-1-1. The boys are coached by veteran Andrew Atkins, while the girls are led on the sidelines by first-year soccer coach Steve Costello.

“It feels great to win another conference title,” senior forward Kaitlyn Tung said. “We’ve all worked so hard this entire season to stay undefeated and give our all into every game we played.”

Added junior striker Sara Kealey, “It feels great to celebrate a conference title again. The hard work, commitment and bond we share on and off the field the past two years contributes to our success. We need to continue to learn from what we can improve on and develop to be a stronger team each practice and game. Our coaches continue to push us to be the best we can be.”

The Lady Generals have already advanced two rounds into the playoffs, beating Floral Park, 1-0, and Wantagh, 1-0. They are led by a stingy defense that has allowed just one goal this entire season. Senior goalkeeper Lexie Thompson and her backline is respon sible for a dozen shutouts.

“It feels amazing knowing what the team has been capable of for the past few years and being a part of something special,” senior defender Ava Angiuli said.

The MacArthur girls team is looking for a deep playoff run.

“We should be concerned with all the teams we are up against as you never know what can happen in playoffs,” said Kealey, who has seven goals and an assist on the season. “I know the Lady Generals will give their all in the playoffs.”

Tung has eight goals and five assists on year. She said that success in the playoffs is all about focus and continuing their unparalleled work-ethic in practice, adding, “The postseason mentality is to stay focused at all times. We practice with intensity and are always looking to raise the bar. We did well in our season games and now are looking to do even better, and it’s going to come from showing up to every practice ready to play and get better. The team is very

focused on watching film as well and having made it a top priority so we can learn from any mistakes or setbacks we have faced in games.”

Added Anguili, “This postseason is just like any other post season. We go in not taking teams lightly and playing with confidence and determination. There’s no team we are concerned about but I would

say ourselves because if we don’t play our game then we have some problems.”

The boys team at MacArthur is on a similar path.

“It feels great to be repeat as conference champions,” senior goalkeeper Tyler Behr said. “This was a goal for not only myself, but everyone else on the team. The team couldn’t have been happier especially

because of other teams counting us out.”

Offensively, the Generals are led by James Eden (six goals, eight assists), Keiran Weber (four goals, eight assists), Cristian Perez Franco (six goals, four assists), Austen Roth (eight goals, two assists) and Joey Mahoney (three goals, six assists).

But the team’s calling card is the Generals defense. Last season they posted 11 shutouts, the most in Nassau County. This season the Generals have yielded just six goals and posted eight shutouts thus far.

“We are a successful team both on and off the field,” senior defender Tyler Mormando said. “On the field we have a good chemistry for knowing how each other plays, which stems from our ‘brotherhood’ off the field. For example, we all go and dye our hair blonde together before the start of the season, go for team dinners before big games and we talk about strategy and how to outplay our opponents.”

The Generals were upset in the first round of the playoffs last season, losing a heart breaker to Plainedge in a shootout. This year, the Generals have bigger aspirations.

“The goal for the playoffs is to make sure each game isn’t our last, especially for the seniors,” Mormando said. “Also, I want us to have fun, while still being competitive. It’d be nice to go all the way to states and finish on top and bring the win home for MacArthur. We are always keeping an eye on our opponents, taking it one game at a time, and we leave it all out on the field when that first whistle blows, because we never know when that last whistle blows. If that happens, it will be our final game together.”

Added Behr, “The goal for playoffs is the same as always. One game at a time. It is a motto the whole team has really grasped and hasn’t let go of, which I am very proud of. This team is ready for everything thrown our way and will do whatever to advance and make a deep run in this years playoffs.”

Like the girls program, the boys have spent numerous years playing together on MacArthur’s varsity, as well as club teams.

“I think what makes this team so success ful is the work we put in to make this team the best it can be, and while the chemistry last year was great, this year’s is the best it has been for my four years on the team,” Behr said. “It all starts from the coaches getting the team to be all in, which they have done a fantastic job doing. It is not only the chemistry that makes this team so special, it is also all of the fun this team has. We look at MacArthur varsity soccer not only as a team but as a brotherhood and a family.”
