TOP STORY

Riding Red Wave Into Office BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

assau County Executive-elect Bruce Blakeman has been shaping his administration as he prepares to take over on Jan. 1. Blakeman, 65, a politician whose tenure in various legislative offices dates back to the 1990s, will lead the county government after he beat incumbent Democrat Laura Curran on Election Day. He rode a red wave, as Democratic voters—who outnumber Republicans across the county—stayed home and the GOP got the votes out. There were numerous political upsets, and Republicans swept all three other top county posts—comptroller, district attorney and clerk. The final official tally from the Nassau County Board of Elections showed Blakeman winning by 2,146 votes out 283,279 cast (50.35 percent to 49.59 percent). Nassau County Legislature Presiding Officer Rich Nicolello (R–New Hyde Park), whose party holds a 12-7 edge in the legislative body after the election, introduced Blakeman at a Nov. 17 press conference by noting that they had served in the first county legislature in the 1990s and further, “We share the same priorities in terms of giving tax relief to our beleaguered residents and keeping our communities safe and fixing the issues that remain with our county. “We’re very excited in the majority and look forward to working with Bruce on these issues going forward, and you know that we’re going to make a huge difference in the county.” “I want to thank the voters in Nassau County for putting their faith and confidence in me as we are in a

Laura Curran Statement On Election On Nov. 16, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran released the following statement: “This is not the result we hoped for, but there is so much to be proud of. Four years ago, we promised to clean up the corruption and fiscal mismanagement that plagued county government, balance budgets and turn deficits into surpluses—and we did just that. My administration took on the tough fight of reassessment: transforming a broken system into one that is fair and accurate. Through strategic investments in community-based policing, my

administration secured Nassau’s ranking as the ‘safest community in America.’ And together, we overcame a global health and economic crisis—rebounding as the region hardest hit by the pandemic to the highest vaccinated county in New York State. “Our county must build on this progress, while preparing for the challenges ahead. I congratulate County Executive-elect Bruce Blakeman on his victory, and wish him the best as he undertakes this important work. “I thank my family, my government

and campaign staff, as well as the members of the business community, law enforcement, labor unions and others who extended their endorsements and support. I will forever be grateful for your partnership. I believe our long-term, shared vision for Nassau County remains in reach and I will never stop fighting for our residents. “I love our county and our residents, and pledge a positive transition. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for allowing me the opportunity and the privilege to serve you these last four years.”

According to Blakeman, “Many prominent people from many different backgrounds have expressed an interest in being on the transition team. We look forward to a smooth transition and making sure that we’re up and running January 1st.” Blakeman announced a new website, www.servenassau.com. “If anybody’s interested in serving Nassau County on my transition team or are looking to serve in my administration, I urge them to go to that website,” he said. Asked about the uptick in COVID cases and what he would do, Blakeman replied, “We’re monitoring the situation very closely. I have the utmost respect for the county executive and she will be county executive until January 1st, so I will defer all questions to her. Come January 1st, we’ll be fully informed on what’s going on and I will make decisions at that point.” He noted that he has consistently said that school districts should determine the policies in their own schools. Regarding his hiring practices, Blakeman said, “I do not expect that it will be one-party staffing. I believe my transition team will have a significant number of Democrats and I’ve already spoken to some Democrats who’ve expressed an interest in serving.” He added, “We’re just going to get the most qualified people who want to work hard for the taxpayers, but they also have to share our philosophy. So to that extent, anybody who comes to work for my administration has to be on the same page with my agenda. But I expect that we will have Democrats in my administration and on the transition team. It will be bipartisan.” On Nov. 23, Blakeman announced that he will detain Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder, a Republican tabbed by Curran to lead the department. “With respect to anybody who is currently holding a position in the government, I am completely open-minded,” Blakeman said. “If somebody is doing a good job we will consider retaining them. Again, they would have to be in line fist philosophically with my agenda. But we’re going to look at everybody on a case-by-case basis. If it ain’t broke, I’m not going to try to fix it.” To comment on this story, email frizzo @antonmediagroup.com

LOCAL NEWS

Friends Of The Bay Addresses The Shellfish Population Issue

BY JULIE PRISCO

jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

he shellfish population in the Oyster Bay area has suffered a serious decline and the Friends of the Bay (FOB) organization has released a “Public Wakeup Letter” that detailed necessary steps the town should take to remedy the issue. Oysters and clams play a big role in the aquatic ecosystem and local economy of Oyster Bay. The shellfish work to filter water, and with fewer of them, the water becomes dirtier. The decrease in shellfish also poses a threat “to the livelihood of commercial harvesters and the enjoyment of recreational users,” the FOB Board of Directors wrote. “It is important for the public to be aware of what is going on with the bay and to take part in the process of protecting it,” the President of the FOB Advisory Board, Bill Bleyer, said. “Ways to do this are staying abreast of the town’s action as officials deal with the shellfish population decline.” The steps that the FOB has created were presented to the Town of Oyster Bay. The town officials were receptive to the “suggestions and had already planned to implement many of them,” according to the FOB letter. “The creation of a comprehensive plan for managing the bay must be a top priority. Friends of the Bay has encouraged the town to create a bay

Oyster Bay views (Contributed photo from FOB’s Facebook page) management plan with an advisory committee of representatives from user groups, environmental organizations, and experts in bay management and water-based industries,” the FOB board wrote. A plan is in the process by the town and will establish an advisory committee. “Any company or individual that receives a town license to cultivate shellfish should be required to provide seed to the town for planting in a designated sanctuary or conservation management area in Oyster Bay or Cold Spring Harbor in any year that they harvest,” the FOB board wrote. “The town has included this requirement in its request for proposals for new licenses.” Future harvesting will be prevented if they haven’t supplied the required

seed to help the growth of the bay’s shellfish population. License-holders and the town need to increase the amount of shellfish seeded into the bays. According to the FOB letter, “two years ago, the town reported that it had planned 2 million clams and 300,000 oysters.” FOB advises the town to seek funding to expand the Bayville hatchery through the COVID relief fund. “This expansion will allow the town to produce 30 to 40 million shellfish seeds a year, according to town officials.” “Wetlands restoration and the creation of oyster reefs are needed to protect existing wetlands and reduce shore erosion,” the FOB board wrote. Creating a town shell-recycling program “to retrieve shells from restaurants should be the first step toward the creation

of these oyster reefs.” Recycled oyster and clam shells can provide a home for seed oysters that will help make unproductive bottom-land into a usable oyster habitat. The decline in the shellfish population is caused by a combination of factors. “Harvesting beyond sustainable levels, reduced seeding of juvenile shellfish, warming water from climate change, storm-water runoff, sediments and other pollutants into the harbor,” are just a few of the causes the FOB listed in their letter. The State Department of Environmental Conservation tracks the shellfish harvest and based on their reports, the shellfish population is in danger. “The state reports show that oyster harvests peaked in 2013 and have

trended downwards since,” the FOB board wrote. Two years ago the oysters served at the Oyster Festival were imported from Connecticut instead of being harvested from Oyster Bay as they usually are. This was “a major revelation and warning sign,” the FOB board wrote. Revamping the shell-fishing industry and increasing the oyster and clam populations in Oyster Bay “will help improve the water quality and combat the harmful algal blooms that have plagued the region’s waterways,” the FOB board wrote. The residents of Oyster Bay and neighboring towns are encouraged to take action in supporting the shell-fishing community and local economy. “Participating in the North Shore Oyster Gardening Program sponsored by the Oyster Bay/Cold Spring Harbor Protection Committee and supporting advocacy groups such as Friends of the Bay in their search for initiatives to reverse the decline” are ways to get involved, Bleyer said.

Boy Scout Troop 10 Complete Harriman State Park Backpacking Camping Overnight BY DWIGHT ROSENSTEIN

greatneckrecord@antonmediagroup.com

roop 10 from Great Neck recently completed a strenuous backpacking overnight camping trip in Harriman State Park on a partly sunny, chilly fall weekend. Sixteen scouts and six adults began the hike at the Elk Pen where the Appalachian trail enters Harriman State Park from the west. They hiked with full backpacks, carrying tents, stoves, food, as well as their personal gear. They hiked up Green Pond Mountain at least 400-feet in elevation. After about 1.85 miles they reached the Lemon Squeezer, very narrow passageway formed when a large rock fell off the side of a cliff. They took the Arden Surebridge Trail for a little over a mile, to Times Square, where three trails cross near a huge boulder. They spent some time there eating lunch and climbing on the boulder. From there they turned south on the Ramapo Dunderberg trail traversing a rock face ridge with views of valleys and distant mountains

to the west and to the east. At 4.35 miles, they reached the Bald Rocks Shelter where they set up camp. After gathering firewood for the campfire the scouts, in four patrols, cooked one pot meal dinners on lightweight stoves. One patrol cooked a vegetarian meal. The scouts built a large campfire on the rock face top of the mountain. Rain started during the campfire but it only lasted 15 minutes. In the morning, scouts boiled water for oatmeal breakfast, cleaned up and headed south for about 1.35 miles to Route 106 where cars were waiting. Troop 10 meets at the ManhassetLakeville Fire Department on 25 Prospect St. on Mondays at 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on school days. If you are interested in joining Troop 10, contact Dr. Dwight J Rosenstein at djrosenstein@gmail.com. —Dwight J Rosenstein is the Troop 10 Scoutmaster Troop 10 hiking into the wilderness.

Reading Is WAND-erful At Berry Hill

ARP is a National PTA program and stands for Pick A Reading Partner. The PARP program is designed to promote a love of reading in children. Berry Hill’s PTA organized a week of PARP events for students to enjoy. This year’s theme was “Harry PARPer – Reading is WAND-erful”. On Monday, to kick off the week, students were greeted by staff members dressed in Harry Potter glasses and ties. The outside of the building was magically decorated with Harry, Hermione and Professor Dumbledore, reminding the children how powerful reading is every day. Students were mesmerized when Dr. Thomas Rogers, Superintendent of Syosset Schools, appeared as a secret reader and read them a passage from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. During the week of the PARP, the PTA organized a book collection for the Book Fairies. The Book Fairies is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that collects reading materials for people in need throughout metropolitan New York. Each night, students were encouraged to complete a

Good News For Ida May Project Supporters BY DAGMAR FORS KARPPI editorial@antonmediagroup.com

t was perfect timing for the Christeen Oyster Sloop Preservation Corporation’s (COSPC) Nov. 10 fundraiser. The week before, they received word the state finalized their $125,000 grant. COSPC President George Lindsay said to guests, “It’s exciting to share the news with you.” Lindsay said that now there is no holding back Shipwright Josh Herman, his crew and the volunteers to race toward the finish line: a launch for the oyster harvesting boat, the Ida May, by end of 2022. Summing it up, Senator Jim Gaughran said “The Ida May Project is an important component to preserving and promoting Oyster Bay’s rich maritime history. I’m proud to support this incredible project with grant funding, and I thank the dedicated group of volunteers who are instrumental in leading this project.” Lindsay agrees that the volunteers working under the supervision of Shipwright Herman keep the project moving forward. He remembered Bill Shephard who was

an exemplary volunteer for the last 10 years, and died on Sept. 20 at age 91. “He was still working every day. There was nothing he couldn’t do or wouldn’t do. Today, we see things that Bill did and remember him,” Lindsay said. Young Shephard has been volunteering on the Ida May Project, and it was his picture painting the wheelhouse that was on the invitations. Shephard was recently elected to the board, as was

Eirk Knutsen, adding youth and more expertise to the nonprofit’s board. The new funding is already allocated to materials and labor. “We will have enough to put Josh and his crew to work in earnest. Now the goal is to raise the remaining $50,000. There are still sponsorship naming opportunities,” reminded Lindsay. The Christeen Corp. is evaluating several possible future projects to undertake after

Flower Co.; Bayville Seafood; Mike O’Neill, bayman and clam shucker; John Schwartzberg, piano, and Marty Confurius, bass; and Christeen volunteer Kevin Murray, for donating Boar’s Head meats.

Lindsay thanked board members for their contributions to the event, and acknowledged shipwright Herman and his helpers, Joe and Sam.

North Shore High School Seniors Complete Inaugural Theory Of Knowledge Exhibition

n November, North Shore High School seniors in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Theory of Knowledge (TOK) course participated in the first-ever exhibition. This took place in person, in the Art Gallery, under the direction of TOK teacher, Mr. Martin Abrams. TOK is designed as a broad-based two-year course that aims to encourage students to be knowledgeable and inquisitive in all subject areas, but also caring and compassionate. There is a strong emphasis on encouraging students to develop inter-cultural understanding, open-mindedness and the attitudes necessary for them to respect and evaluate a range of points of view. In this culminating experience, students chose three artifacts to present how Theory of Knowledge manifests in the world around us. They wrote accompanying commentaries to their

Students presenting their chosen artifacts. (Photo by Shelly Newman) objects, and discussed them with all visitors to the exhibit, including teachers, students and administrators alike. Questions that students generated on their own throughout the exhibition included: • What is the relationship between knowledge and

culture? • Is bias inevitable in the production of knowledge? • What role do experts play in influencing our consumption or acquisition of knowledge? • •How might the context in which knowledge is presented influence whether it

is accepted or rejected? • On what grounds might we doubt a claim? • How can we know that current knowledge is an improvement upon past knowledge? • Does some knowledge belong only to a particular community of knowers?

In Theory of Knowledge, which is available to all juniors and seniors within and beyond the IB diploma, students think deeply, grapple with exciting interdisciplinary ideas, discuss texts each day and respond to open-ended and complex questions. The course begins in the spring semester of junior year and continues in the fall semester of senior year. Truth and areas of knowledge, including history, sciences, the arts and mathematics frame the learning, as students explore, reflect and put into perspective, what they already know.

People seem not so different in an everyday situation, but in a crisis situation they reveal their true colors. The people who are greedy come out and the people that are really kind—you see that they really try to help their neighbors.

Fire Safety Committee Asks For Changes In GCFD BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

This past spring, Village of Garden City Mayor Cosmo Veneziale formed a Fire Safety Committee to research and analyze data of the Garden City Fire Department. The tasks that were assigned to the committee were distributed and delegated to sub-committees for them to investigate and report. The overarching goal was to systematically gather information that would identify ways to help develop and enhance the fire department from member inception to operations, to management on and off the fire ground, improving the fire protection within the village, and more. Recently, the Fire Safety Committee held a meeting in which they discussed their findings. The primary findings of their assessment was that members of the fire department from all ranks—past and present—have a positive attitude and willingness to help their community and perform at the highest level possible. However, members of the department have conveyed the belief that the media, public and other fire services have a negative impression

of their efforts, competence and service to the community. The negative impression from the fire department stems from several anonymous written comments on numerous articles in local newspapers. “It was also noted to us in interviews that generationally within the department there is a struggle and resistance to change,” the 54-page report said, which is currently on the village’s website. “Older members and former chiefs do not agree with not only changing the way the department operates, but also the forming of and possible adherence to a third party committee scrutinizing ‘the way we’ve always done it.’” The committee said that as information was gathered, interviews conducted and operations witnessed, they find that although capable, the Garden City Fire Department needs to make changes to improve their response, make their fireground safer and increase their professionalism. The Garden City Fire Department is fully volunteer. Within the operational organization there’s a tiered command structure that includes four chief officers, the Chief of Department and three assistant

chiefs. Two companies, an engine company and truck company,make up the membership. Each of these companies have a captain and two lieutenants (1st Lieutenant and 2nd Lieutenant). These titles are each for a one year term. “Each of these ranks answer to the next higher rank in a para-military fashion,” the report said. “If one of the positions is absent during an emergency it can be filled in by the Officer In Charge (OIC) accordingly. In conversations with chiefs, officers and members we have learned the members’ company designation does not relate to specific response responsibilities however according to chiefs, members will sometimes report to headquarters instead of a geographically closer firehouse to staff a ladder rather than an engine.” One of the recommendations the committee has made is to eliminate the administrative companies— making all GCFD members a part of either Company 2 located at the Edgemere Firehouse in the west or Company 3 located at Emmet Place and St. James Street North in the east. “Members should be assigned

to these companies based on their geographic location of their place of residence,” the report continued. “Each of these companies will be led by an elected captain and two lieutenants. Apparatus must respond as quickly as possible. As per the GCFD membership map most members live closer to stations 2 and 3, which will provide a quicker response time for members to the firehouse, which in turn a quicker response of apparatus. This committee determined that a member who lives south of the tracks in the east takes, on average, five minutes to get to headquarters when in comparison to Station 3, which would take two minutes. These three minutes are vital on fireground operations.” The committee also said that the department should implement a twoyear term for all chief and company officers saying that having two year terms increases leadership continuity, increases confidence in decision making and allows other aspiring members to work on acquiring needed qualifications.

A&J Foodtown Of Bellerose Honored

ecently, Angelo Avena and Joseph Paravati, owners of A&J Foodtown of Bellerose, were acknowledged by multiple organizations for their exceptional work in keeping the supermarket open and servicing the community during the ongoing pandemic. Mayor Kenneth Moore of the Incorporated Village of Bellerose issued an official proclamation acknowledging the valuable contribution of A & J Foodtown to Bellerose Village. Moore discussed the coronavirus situation and how it has placed a burden on the local supermarket, in particular saying this was not only because of an increased workload, but increased

health and safety risks as well. The proclamation praised the employees of the Bellerose Foodtown supermarket for continuing to work throughout the pandemic, risking their own well-being. It highlighted measures implemented by management to ensure the safety of staff and customers alike; and, through all their sacrifices, the store was able to remain open and continue to serve the community. The Joint Bellerose Business District Development Corporation also issued a certificate of appreciation to A&J Foodtown, signed by president James Trent, thanking the associates for their services during the pandemic. It specifically stated

the deep appreciation for A & J and the exceptional front line and essentials workers for their service during the pandemic to the people and businesses of Bellerose Manor, Bellerose Township, and Bellerose Village. Upon receiving the recognitions, Avena said, “It’s been our pleasure to serve the Bellerose community as Foodtown since 2012 and we look forward to continuing our commitment for many years to come. We have become a family.” A & J Market opened the grocery store in 1999 as Met Food before transitioning to the Foodtown banner. —Submitted by JPR Group

This condition was partially ameliorated early last month when representatives from the Robert Irvine Foundation showed up at the Livingston Street house she shares with partner Amy and presented her with a six-wheeled all-terrain powered vehicle that will expand her ability to get around. The foundation’s namesake, chef, TV personality and entrepreneur Robert Irvine, who also owns the protein snack company FitCrunch, “has helped to give back and service the men and women defending our country, first responders and the many other heroes in our lives (active, retired, and veterans),” according to a press release. “[Holmes], an Iraq War veteran, was honorably discharged in 2014 following a catastrophic shoulder and femoral sciatic nerve injury which left permanent progressive nerve damage in her right leg. Since her injury Erin, mom to a 3-year-old and expecting a son in December, has been unable to partake in the outdoors activities she loves. The [vehicle] will allow her the ability to partake in outdoor activities such as going to the beach, hiking and swimming, among other hobbies of hers.” “There’s no better feeling than having a day when we’re able to help someone like Erin Holmes,” Irvine said. “She bravely served her country and that service took a toll on her body. There’s such a steep cost to the freedoms we enjoy, and every service member pays that cost. When someone like Erin pays a little more, it’s incumbent on America’s citizens to recognize that cost, say thank you, and give back. I’m proud that we could do that in some small way.” Holmes said, “It opens up so many doors for me to be able to go out and do things that I haven’t been able to do with my family in five years. My daughter [Siddalee Cecilia] absolutely loves being out in nature and it’s such an important part of my life that I lost when I lost the ability to ambulate well. So to just have this back, it gives me back a lot of the pieces of my life I have not had since my injury.” Learn more by visiting www.robertirvinefoundation.org/ Last year, before the pandemic, Holmes was honored on Pride Night by the New York Rangers “as a military veteran, proud member of the LGBTQ community and one of the

grandfathers, father, stepfather and brothers all serving. It added that she earned numerous medals while engaged in combat and “in 2010 she received the U.S. Army Combat Mechanics Badge for driving 30,000 miles of combat operations in armored vehicles over the course of 10 months.” Holmes also participated in the college’s wheelchair basketball team and is training to qualify for the Paralympic Games in either Paris (2024) or in LA (’28).

Westbury Military Collection Opens For Viewing On Veterans Day, the Village of Westbury hosted an Open House at the Westbury Military Historical Collection. There were approximately 35-40 visitors, with as many as a dozen in the room at a time viewing the collection. One visitor was so impressed by the exhibits that he was inspired to donate a WWI U.S. Navy Uniform and other related artifacts which will be added to the collection. Mayor Peter Cavallaro called the open house “a great success with a steady stream of Westbury-area residents, and others from throughout the county, who came to view the exhibit. Thanks to Trustee Steve Corte, who served as docent for the day, and Gail Slotnick, the exhibit curator.” —Submitted by the Village of Westbury

SAVING TOMORROW The almost $30 million upcoming school bond proposal promises 21st century improvements to the James H Vernon School, Theodore Roosevelt School, Administration Building and Oyster Bay High School. Voting is Tuesday, Dec. 7. The act includes a turf field at the Oyster Bay High School. There are definite health risks of chemicals in synthetic turf. These fields are made from crushed rubber, plastic pellets and plastic blades of grass. Tainted runoff can contaminate water supplies where these fields are installed. In July 2019 the federal Environmental Protection Agency acknowledged that synthetic turf contains toxic chemicals,

PFAS-polyfluoroalkyl substances that can be cancer causing. Children are exposed to chemicals by touching, and possibly swallowing crumbled rubber that makes up the backing or breathing chemicals that out-gas into the air according to the Children’s Environmental Health Center of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. At a school meeting I was told by Superintendent Dr. Francesco Ianni that turf fields are not as bad as they used to be. Then can you say if you smoked 4 cigarettes a day, it is not as bad as smoking 10 a day? By the way, cigarettes are still being sold even though there is substantial evidence substantiating the deadly health risks. We

Instead, give all you can whenever you can; be generous. Dr. John Gottman notes that the way in which partners deposit into their emotional bank accounts affects the satisfaction derived from the relationship. People who deposit to their accounts, without adopting a tit-for-tat strategy, or just giving exactly what it received, can enhance their relationship. Therefore, being generous and making many

deposits into that account can strengthen your bond.

The Pandemic’s Unsung Heroes All of us—no matter where we live, where we work or whether we consider ourselves left or right or somewhere in the middle—share at least one thing: We are eternally grateful for the dedication of the doctors, nurses, EMTs and other frontline responders who have worked tirelessly, even when tired-to-the-bone, throughout the pandemic. In the early days of the COVID-19 crisis, we all remember how residents of New York City took to the streets or their balconies each night at 7 p.m. to bang on pots to show their appreciation for the work of these healthcare heroes. It was a moving sight amid so much tragedy. But there is another group of heroes that have rarely been given the credit they deserve during these challenging times: parents. Although children and teens sometimes forget that their parents are real people with real struggles of their own, mothers and fathers have had to deal with enormous stresses as a result of the pandemic. They’ve had to deal with social isolation, job insecurity, financial hardships, family health crises, loss of loved ones and more. Through it all, they’ve needed to be there for their kids, reassuring them that normal life would return. Parents had an enormous amount to deal with. Young people who already dealt with various mental health issues found their symptoms heightened, while many others experienced those challenges for the first time. Depression and anxiety were (and continue to be) widespread, but many kids exhibited an increase in anger,

aggressiveness and impulsivity as they attempted to manage remote schooling, the loss of social connections and activities, and the lack of privacy and space that came with 24/7 togetherness with family. And, as kids and teens tend to do, they often took out their frustrations on their parents. At North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, we recognized early on that the pandemic would put a strain not only on kids but also on their families. We started a series of free, virtual pandemic Parent Support Groups where mothers, fathers and other caregivers could express their own frustrations and learn from others that they were not alone. With the guidance of one of our therapists, they shared ideas for helping children structure their time. They spoke of the struggles of remote schooling and learned coping strategies. They learned how to be a “container,” or a kind of safety valve, for their children’s feelings. And they were given a safe space to express their own fears. Today, in what is often called “the new normal,” most of us are in a different place when it comes to the pandemic. Kids

are back in school; the vaccine has provided a level of comfort that didn’t exist in the early days of the virus; and we are able to be out and about in the world once again, albeit with precautions and wariness. Still, the challenges for kids and parents alike are far from over. We are just beginning to realize how the pandemic has impacted our children’s feelings of security and wellbeing, while still dealing with our own fears. Uncertainty remains about what will happen in the future. But one thing gives me comfort: After witnessing the courage, steadfastness and love parents displayed during these last 19 months, I am certain that they will rise to the challenge. If you are a parent or caregiver, give yourself credit for all you’ve done for your family. Be sure to engage in self-care while you continue to care for your kids and your community.

4 YOUR MONEY

Seven Ways To Cut Your Holiday Expenses BY JASON ALDERMAN specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

When it comes to holiday spending, waiting in store lines all night and jostling for discounts will mean very little if you don’t have a budget that shapes your finances year-round. With the average U.S. household spending $600-$700 in 2014 for the holidays, putting that money together shouldn’t be a game of chance. Here are some tips to get it right:

Before you make a list, plan. How’s your debt? Do you have an emergency fund or any savings put aside? Start the holiday season by getting a handle on what you owe and what you’re spending day-today. Then plan a holiday budget (www.practicalmoneyskills.com/ YourHolidayBudget) as early as possible that allows you to spend wisely. See what spending is really necessary. It’s tough to cut young kids off a gift list, so turn to the adults. If your finances are limited, it’s worth asking adult friends and family members if they’d consider a gift swap or forego gifts altogether. They might actually think it’s a good idea. Attack your everyday expenses. Want to afford the holidays? Consider evaluating some expensive habits. Try reducing the amount you are spending on expensive nights out. Cook at home and bring your lunch to work. Use public transportation. Compare and cut your auto and home insurance premiums. Turn down the thermostat, dump magazine subscriptions, gym memberships and any other budget item you’re not using. You’ll find that savings build quickly. Browse before you buy. Assuming you’ve made a tight gift list, create a gift budget (www.practicalmoneyskills.com/YourGiftLog) tracking precisely what you’re willing to pay for every item. Also, don’t forget to budget for holiday entertainment (www.practicalmoneyskills. com/EntertainmentPlanner). It’s a potentially huge cost. Plan ahead and don’t waver. Create your own Holiday Club. Online savings and money market accounts can allow you to set aside your holiday budget in small amounts throughout the year and they’ll pay

Rein in holiday spending. better rates than the last few banks offering Holiday Club savings accounts. Watch gas and shipping. Smart shoppers weigh the value of store trips versus online shopping. They also keep an eagle eye for advertised online and shipping discounts. Sign up for special deals and coupons, consolidate in-person trips to stores and make sure you review return policies at online and bricks-and-mortar stores before you buy. Paying return fees or missing a window to return a gift entirely can cost big money. Keep good records. Whether you track your finances on paper or on a computer, develop a system that allows you to match your holiday list to what you spend every year. Good recordkeeping not only allows you to track the numbers, but also prevents you from duplicating gifts or overspending year to year. And it’s always a good idea to keep a list of what you get from others to make sure you’re thanking people appropriately. Finally, consider whether it’s worth making new holiday traditions that go beyond gift giving. Some families consider contributing throughout the year to a joint vacation or reunion fund to bring everyone together. You might also consider the needs of aging or needy relatives who need assistance with chores, transportation or pet care. The holidays are what you make them.

Now that the holiday season is among us, many nonprofit organizations are reaching out for donations. Nearly all nonprofit organizations suffer just as much, if not more, than businesses across the nation, many still recovering from the effects of the pandemic over the past two years. Charities have lost funding, downsized staff and had to turn volunteers away. Here are some local organizations that could use your help.

Tastes Like Christmas BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Are you looking for a fun and delicious stocking stuffer for your 2021 Holiday Gift Guide? Well, Ho, Ho, Ho - here comes Santa Clausthaler—a non-alcoholic beer that combines Clausthaler Original, the most awarded non-alcoholic beer on the market, with the merry and bright flavors of cinnamon and cranberry. It’s a jolly, tasty beer that delivers holiday cheer without the hangover. Santa Clausthaler is the first and only Christmas-themed non-alcoholic beer out there. More than 40 years ago, Clausthaler patented the process for brewing beer without alcohol and has been innovating ever since with new flavors and varieties. Last year, Santa Clausthaler had a limited rollout in the United States that sold out as fast as Santa and his reindeer fly his sleigh. This year, it will be more widely available, but still produced in limited supply for the Yuletide holidays. The non-alcoholic beer category is growing quicker than Black

2021 Holiday Road Trips also be checked regularly for fraying or corrosion. Battery acid corrosion appears as a white, powdery substance but can be cleaned with baking soda, water and a toothbrush. Clear the dashboard (of warning lights): • Driving around with the check engine or warning lights on thinking “it’s probably nothing?” Get it checked and cleared out before your trip because “it could be anything.” And that could end up costing a lot of money. • Thirty-three percent of Americans drive with their check engine light on for an average of nine days. Keep windows clean and clear: • Windshield wipers that streak, squeak or flop should be replaced. Make sure wiper blades aren’t cracking or deteriorating. • Test defrosters and allow time for condensation to clear from the entire windshield before getting on the road. • Clear all snow and ice from the windshield for proper visibility and from other parts of the car for the

safety of all drivers. Pack a health and safety kit: • Stash extra face masks, disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer, a thermometer and even a package of rapid COVID tests if needed, to help protect and monitor your health while on the road. Bring water and extra snacks to reduce the need to stop during your trip. • Pre-plan stops along your route, if possible, and be prepared for unexpected closures of restaurants and gas stations due to labor shortages. Be aware of COVID regulations along your route and at your destination. • Keep an emergency kit inside vehicle that includes a flashlight, jumper cables, cell phone charger, ice scraper, snow brush and blanket. With more people working remotely, holiday travel starts now and will extend through the end of the year, which means the highways will be more crowded, despite high gas prices and COVID caseloads that are stalling and even surging in some places.

Steps To Avoid Those Dreaded Holiday Pounds BY ANTON NEWS STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

There are many traditions associated with the holidays—and one of them is the extra pounds everyone seems to gain during December. So, unless you want to spend January dieting and working off those extra pounds, you may want to think about taking some steps now, which can help you avoid that dreaded holiday weight gain. It is still possible to enjoy the holidays and not gain a belly that shakes like a bowlful of jelly. It’s all about making smarter choices and overindulging a little, not a lot. Holiday cooking tends to go overboard and that leaves lots of temptations remaining for days after celebrations. Think about how much food is really needed and not prepare more food than necessary. Having too much food makes it so easy to go to the refrigerator and choose a rich, high-calorie leftover instead of a more sensible choice. If you do prepare more than you

need, freeze what is leftover instead of stocking it in the refrigerator. If an items needs to be unfrozen, it is more likely to be skipped for a better, healthier choice. Stock the refrigerator with healthy choices, such as carrots, celery and apples instead of the leftover cakes. Of course, even on the holidays, the choices made can make a big difference. Pies are a traditional holiday dessert. However, all pies are not created equal. Those double-crusted pies can be a waistline disaster, so take off the top layer of crust if served a pie with

a double crust. When baking the pie yourself, use only one layer of crust and switch from a flaky crust to a graham-cracker crust to save even more calories. Consider the following estimates. An apple pie with a crust has about 290 calories while such a pie without

the crust has only 200. A slice of pumpkin pie, which is usually made without a top layer of crust, has a reasonable amount of about 230 calories. The same goes for custard pie, which has about 250 calories per slice. Moving up the calorie scale, a piece of mincemeat pie has about 300 calories, and a slice of pecan pie has around a whopping 470 calories. A cup of chopped nuts has about 760 calories. To save calories, chop the nuts finer and then use only half of the suggested amount. By doing this, the baker will still disperse the flavor throughout the pie but will save calories. Do the same with chocolate chips, which have about 840 calories. Use mini chocolate chips and only use half a cup to save 420 calories while still dispersing flavor. Parties can also be a diet pitfall. There are many goodies enjoyed at parties that can be a problem. Despite the belief that overeating is the main culprit, the foods eaten tend to be very dense, so it’s easy to gain weight without overeating. A half cup of eggnog has about 180 calories. Therefore, having just a half cup a week, without making other cuts, will result in gaining a half pound for the week. Some hors d’oeuvres are a problem. Think twice about having any that are

in a pastry, since each one can have up to 150 calories. Choose only the hors d’oeuvres that you really want and passing on others so as not to waste calories. Bring food as a gift to a party. The host is likely to put your offering out, so you will have a choice of something that’s healthier. However, if you choose to indulge in the appetizers presented to you, take your own plate and make your own healthier choices, as opposed to having the host select food items for you. Seek out shrimp cocktail. Alcohol can be another waistline danger. Always keep a cup in your hand, as party guests without one are more likely to be offered a drink. Keep that cup filled with club soda, diet soda or ice water. If indulging in cocktails, alternate alcoholic drinks with non-calorie drinks to cut your alcohol and calorie consumption in half. When having mixed drinks, use diet soda or non-calorie drinks, so you don’t mix sugar in your alcohol. Don’t mix caffeinated beverages with alcohol, as the caffeine will make you feel less impaired, even though you are. Plan ahead. This doesn’t mean skipping a meal. It takes your brain half an hour to realize you have eaten, so if you haven’t eaten, you are more likely to overeat when you do begin your dining. Plan out your day and have a healthy lunch, such as lean ham, roast beef or turkey on whole wheat bread with lettuce and tomatoes but no mayonnaise. Drink plenty of water and eat a nutrition bar. Another important task is to schedule routine exercise. With so much going on at this time of the year, exercise can often be skipped, which also contributes to weight gain. Exercise not only burns calories, it also burns stress, and being stressed causes individuals to eat more. Walk your dog for an extra 10 minutes, schedule gym time or do a family exercise. Step on a scale at least once a week. Those who step on a scale and see they’ve gained five pounds in early December are more likely to make changes and avoid the shock of seeing a 10 or 15 pound gain in January. —With Northwell Health

14 SHIPPING YOUR GIFTS

Send Your Packages Early This

Peak season means extra mail and package

There are many factors that go into creating your holiday plans. Do you stay home or go visiting? Do you send gifts or deliver them Santa-style to friends and loved ones? If you’re like many of us, no matter what happens, you will likely send at least one or two special gifts to people for the holidays. Regardless of how many packages and greetings you drop in the mail, it’s always important to mail your gifts and cards early. The 2020 holiday season was a record-setting year for the Postal Service. Specifically, 13 billion letters, cards and packages were processed and delivered under some of the most difficult circumstances we’ve faced in the past century. For the 2021 peak season — the period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day — the Postal Service will deliver more mail and packages

to homes than any other shipper. It’s anticipated that between 850 million and 950 million packages will be delivered for the holidays. The total number of letters, cards and packages processed and delivered is estimated to be more than 12 billion. The Postal Service will expand Sunday delivery, beginning Nov. 28, to locations with high package volumes. USPS already delivers packages on Sundays in most major cities and expects to deliver more than 9.7 million packages each Sunday throughout the holiday season. Mail carriers will also deliver packages for an additional fee on Christmas Day in select locations. The Postal Service plans all year for the peak holiday season. This year’s preparations include leasing 7.5 million square feet of additional space across more than 40 annexes to handle the increase in the number of packages

being mailed. The Postal Service is also currently hiring for more than 40,000 seasonal positions to help process and deliver the mail. Since April, the Postal Service has installed 92 of 112 new package sorting machines, reflecting the “Delivering for America” plan’s $40 billion of planned investment over 10 years. Additionally, more than 50 machines that can sort large packages are expected to be up and running prior to December. The new machinery gives the Postal Service the capacity to process an additional 4.5 million packages each day.

New for This Year

As of Aug. 29, the cost of a Forever stamp increased to 58 cents from 55 cents. There are also temporary price increases in place through 12:01 a.m., Central Time, Dec. 26, on

all retail and commercial domestic competitive parcels for some of our more-popular shipping products, which also includes military shipping — Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, First-Class Package Service, Parcel Select, USPS Retail Ground and Parcel Return Service. International products are unaffected. These temporary rates will keep the Postal Service competitive while providing the agency with the revenue to cover extra costs in anticipation of peak-season volume surges similar to levels experienced in 2020.

Busiest Mailing and Delivery Days

The busiest time of the year begins two weeks before Christmas. It’s expected that customer traffic at all Post Office locations will steadily increase beginning the week of Dec. 6. The week of Dec. 13-18 is anticipated to be the busiest mailing, shipping and delivery week. Additionally, the Postal Service predicts that nearly 2.3

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS

Recently, Voices for Truth and Humanity (V4TH) and its 200 guests celebrated the enormous support for its mission at their successful second annual Remembrance Awards Dinner at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury. The event had taken a year hiatus due to COVID. The evening’s distinguished honorees included Remembrance Award winners Marion and Elisha Wiesel, the wife and son of Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, as well as Public Service Award Winners Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, New York State Senator Anna Kaplan, New York State Assemblyman Steve Stern and renowned educator Dr. Lorna Lewis. The gravity of the timing of this year’s dinner was not lost on anyone, as the event took place while Kristallnacht programs were being held around the world commemorating the start of the Holocaust, and veterans were being celebrated for their sacrifice and selfless duty to country on Veterans Day. The evening’s speakers reinforced V4TH’s clear and focused mission, to promote the adoption of a curriculum on the Holocaust, slavery, and other genocides in public schools throughout the United States. Recent surveys alarmingly demonstrate that younger generations have little to no knowledge of the Holocaust, or an understanding of the magnitude of the atrocities that were committed. The program included a panel discussion moderated by noted TV news anchor and correspondent,

(Contributed photo) radio host, and best selling author Rita Cosby who told the harrowing and deeply moving story of her father, who grew up in Poland during World War II and although not Jewish, was arrested for helping Jews imprisoned in the ghetto, then escaping only to be saved by allied troops. The panel discussion featured a lively conversation with Congresswoman Maloney, Assemblyman Stern, and Dr. Lewis, each answering questions about state mandates on Holocaust education and the inconsistent foundation students receive because those mandates are rarely followed by a formalized curriculum, or testing metrics to measure learning outcomes.

Congresswoman Maloney’s Never Again Education Act, which was passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by President Trump, reinforced the need for Holocaust education and provided funding and resources for its implementation. Assemblyman Stern, co-sponsor of a bill in the NY State Assembly to study the limitations of current Holocaust education in the state, expressed his belief that education is the key to combating the alarming rise in incidents of anti-Semitism and hate plaguing the country. Dr. Lewis, a pioneer in education and the first woman of color to be President of the New York State Council of School

Superintendents, explained that the current extent of Holocaust education in each school district is unfortunately dependent upon the demographics of the community, and whether it is locally considered a topic of importance. Elisha Wiesel accepted the Remembrance Award on behalf of himself and his mother Marion who is 90 years old. Together, they lead the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity. Wiesel gave a serious voice to the need for young people to be educated about the Holocaust, and to be aware of history and learn from the past. Wiesel also admonished the attendees to reject the lies and propaganda of the BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanctions) movement targeting Israel, explaining that the world’s lone Jewish nation and homeland of the Jewish people is under attack by those who seek her destruction, emphasizing that it is critical to accept that hate emanates from both the right and the left. The Wiesel family was presented with a sculpture by world renowned artist Tmima, herself a daughter of a Holocaust survivor. The piece depicts suitcases taken from the inmates at Auschwitz. Remembrance Award 2019 winner Martin Bloch, himself a Holocaust survivor, presented the Wiesel family with this year’s award.

CREATING CLOCKS IN ENGINEERING CLASS The Stony Brook Engineering course at Oyster Bay High School introduces students to engineering fundamentals and puts a large focus on collaborative projects. Students recently wrapped up the gears unit where they learned about gear ratios, design and the many variables that go into forming them. As a culminating project, they are creating clocks, or one-minute interval timers. Applying what they learned during the unit, the students create the clocks

from start to finish. First by brainstorming, choosing which ideas will work, designing, 3D printing materials and ultimately assembling the final product. In total, the project takes around two and a half weeks. Students are challenged with not only thinking about functionality and spacing, they also work to make something aesthetically pleasing. —Submitted by Oyster Bay -East Norwich Central School District

he only native marsupial (mammals with pouches) in North America, opossums are the size of a large house cat. Their fur ranges in color from snow white to jet black, and their tail is nearly hairless and rat-like. They tend to be solitary and nomadic and are primarily nocturnal in activity. When threatened, they bare their teeth, hiss and/or “play dead.” They range from Canada to Costa Rica and from the east coast to the great plains and along the western coast of the United States. They live in a wide range of habitats from woods to brush to open fields, but prefer wet areas near streams and swamps. Opossums are opportunistic feeders and will eat just about anything, such as small animals, plants, worms, amphibians, fruits, vegetables, carrion and garbage. Opossums breed once or twice per year, producing litters averaging around eight young from late winter through spring and summer. Consider the breeding season when dealing with wildlife in defense of property. An opossum in your yard should not be a problem, as they are not aggressive or destructive and do not attack or threaten pets or dig burrows. They are beneficial to humans because they feed on many types of insects, like ticks, crickets and

beetles, as well as on mice and voles. Opossums may get into garbage or pet food left outside and will sometimes raid poultry houses to eat eggs. They will also get into gardens to feed on fruits and vegetables. How to keep opossums out of your garden • A fence is the only sure way to keep opossums out of your garden. • Bury four-foot high garden-type fencing approximately one to two feet underground and angled outward to prevent opossums from digging under it. Bend about one foot of the fencing’s upper edge outward 90 degrees to discourage climbing • Small two-wire electric fence systems may also be effective, especially when protecting valuable fruit trees, berries or corn • Regularly pick up any fallen and rotting fruit or vegetables and dispose of them in the trash. • Taste and odor repellents may provide some protection around garden crops. • Keep your garden well-lit at night. Opossums prefer darkness. Visit www.wildlifehelp.org to learn more about opossums and other nuisance wildlife control and prevention.

The reasons for the selection of the subject location are as follows: (1) ensure the continuing availability of the site for public parking, a critical ancillary use supporting the viability of the important transit resources of Hicksville Station; (2) the use of the site, which is already among the most important components of the network of public parking facilities in this area; (3) the proposed parking lot will serve the anticipated increase in Long Island Railroad ridership to provide parking spaces immediately beyond the locations that are currently essentially fully occupied in closest proximity to the Hicksville train station resulting in providing convenient public parking within a short walking distance of the Hicksville Station; (4) the anticipated effect of the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s Third Track and East Side Access Projects scheduled for completion by the end of 2022, in conjunction with its decision to drop its proposal to provide additional parking spaces near the Hicksville Station, and a part of these majority projects provides a shortfall in the number of available commuter parking spaces; and (5) while the property is currently operated as a commuter parking lot under the Town’s control, said control is contingent upon a

month-to-month rental arrangement which can be terminated at any time. The Town Board specifically incorporates, by reference, all of the beneficial environmental effects previously identified and accepted in its Resolution No. 678-2021. The Town Board’s environmental findings are equally applicable to the analysis required under the EDPL and those findings are hereby incorporated. The general effect of the proposed project on the environment and residents of the locality will be extremely beneficial. Copies of Resolution No. 678-2021 (“Findings and Determinations”) will be forwarded to any person requesting same, in writing, without cost. Any person or persons jointly or severally, aggrieved by the condemnor’s determination and findings made pursuant to EDPL §204, may seek judicial review thereof by the appellate division of the supreme court, in the judicial department embracing the county wherein the proposed facility is located by the filing of a petition in such court within thirty days after the condemnor’s completion of its publication of its determination and findings pursuant to EDPL §204.

LEGAL NOTICES during the foreclosure process. You are not required to leave your home unless and until your property is sold at auction pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure and sale. Regardless of whether you choose to remain in your home, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY and pay property taxes in accordance with state and local law. Foreclosure Rescue Scams Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Everyone wants something. You’ll apply social skills and intuition to figure out how people can help one another. You may not be able to solve your own problem, but you’ll solve someone else’s, and the karma will come full circle in a most delightful way, and when you need it most.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When you build fun into your day, it’s better for everyone. It puts you in the mood to be your best self with people and contributes to your effectiveness with the serious work of the day. This week, fun will take planning, though. Put it in the schedule first and everything else will fit around it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s said you should dress for the job you want, not the job you have. In these times, when so many jobs can be done in bedroom slippers, the adage applies more to lifestyle than career. You’ll be defining yourself with style choices, at least on the surface, but it somehow changes how you feel and what you do.

The Southern Ocean Solution: 19 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is much evidence to support a certain theory. It will be hard to reach any other conclusion than the obvious one, yet there is more that is true. Continue the questioning and try to keep an open mind. You’ll save yourself from later trouble by getting a fuller understanding of this week’s problems and mysteries. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Memories will weigh heavily on your future action. You’ll busy yourself with doing what you can to create positive experiences that reinforce the person you want to be. You’ll set your environment and schedule up for success, and you’ll surround yourself with people who make it easier for you to do the right thing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be hiring or choosing someone for a role. Base your choice on merit. You need someone with a very specific expertise, and swagger cannot stand in for skill. Give someone who is underconfident a chance. The others may have overlooked this person, but you are more attentive and observant.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will work on a particular matter, turning it every which way to understand it from every angle. You’ll examine it from inside, outside, sideways, backward, historically, genetically and geographically. In the end, this diligence will serve you well, though you may not find a place for the information for some time. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re being marketed to constantly by those who would like you to choose their product. The science employed works; why not use it to market to yourself? Surround yourself with symbols and messages about the wise, smart and lucrative behaviors you would like to choose as the best version of yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Success is a shapeshifter. It will come in an unexpected form. So, this week, don’t bother trying to define the win. There are creative forces at work weaving an intricate plan that will not adhere to your expectation. Defeat can give you power. Victory can deplete you. With an open mind, feel your way through.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Preparation has served you well in the past, but it’s not always possible or practical to ready yourself for every situation. This week brings instances in which a move must be made. Boldness will be rewarded over preparation. Take the lead. Go on, raise your hand... even if you have nothing to say.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Evidence is everywhere. It resonates deeply because you’ve known this for a while: Things are getting better. You approach change with the fluidity of water, naturally gravitating to the path of least resistance and flowing where you need to go. The requirements of work kick off a fascinating journey. Money comes from new sources. You’ll be so good at budgeting, juggling priorities and investing. A little reconfiguring of the finances and suddenly you’re making a long-held wish come true.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The word “question” starts with a quest, and so will this week. The epic ask of your heart will send you gathering what you need from hospitable people in fruitful places. You’ll make progress on your own, though more when you enroll friends. Yours is an interesting challenge that will bring out the best in all.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll censor your words and cater your actions to fit the sensibility of others. In some cases, it’s just good manners, but you shouldn’t have to conform around everyone all the time. Consider your needs for self-expression and how they may be served better. You’ll get focused and attract new opportunities.

Top 10 Lone Star State SingerSongwriters Steve Earle & The Dukes

(Photo by Jacob Blickenstaff)

Steve Earle’s Fave Authors BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

teve Earle is never one to rest on his laurels. So it goes as he preps for the Seventh Annual John Henry’s Friends Benefit concert, set to take place on Dec. 13 at Manhattan’s Town Hall. All proceeds go to The Keswell School, an educational program for children and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The show’s namesake is also Earle’s youngest son, who attends the school. Amid the chaos, Earle, an inveterate reader, was only too happy to share his favorite scribes. Having started out as a self-described “first-generation Dr. Seuss kid,” Earle quickly advanced to the Robert Heinleinpenned Tom Corbett, Space Cadet series as a second-grader before delving further into the sci-fi of Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov as well as the fantasy of J.R.R. Tolkien. Here are a few more of the progressive singer-songwriter’s favorite authors.

Nick Tosches

(October 23, 1949 to October 20, 2019) “He was an innovator. He did some things literarily that I’ve never seen anyone ever do before, mainly make himself a character in his own fiction. He came from being a great nonfiction writer and grew into being a great fiction writer. So as a writer, I am so fascinated by him. I’m just fascinated with him. I read all of his stuff. The Dean Martin book is so [effin] great. I’m re-reading Country: The Biggest Music in America right now. And The Devil and Sonny Liston is mind-blowing.”

J.K. Rowling

(July 31, 1965 to present)

“I have everything that William Shakespeare ever wrote and everything J.K. Rowling ever wrote. She’s Dickens in our time. If there is anyone that thinks none of what she wrote is not going to be remembered as literature is [friggin’] fooling themselves.”

Mark Twain

(November 30, 1835 to April 21, 1910)

“Hemingway said, ‘Don’t bother to go to the Left Bank and write the Great American Novel. It’s already been done and it’s called Huckleberry Finn.’ Twain was a humorist that deserved that title. Mark Twain was dealing with Mark Twain (Photo by A.F. race right in a Bradley/publicdomain) border state in a crucial point of history. That’s why Huckleberry Finn is so powerful. He was a rock star for a reason. He was dealing with absolutely current events and he was turning it into stories. I’m good at what I do as much for guys my dad and his brothers hunted deer with. It’s about an oral tradition. They were great storytellers. That’s what Mark Twain feels like. To certain people in certain parts of the country—he knew how to talk to the middle of the country. He was super smart. He was a bohemian. I think that’s where lefties blow it all the [friggin’] time where they talk down to the people that they’re

While he was born in Virginia, Steve Earle identifies as a Texan. Must be something in the water that has produced such a deep pool of singer-songwriters that hail from the same state.

supposedly trying to elevate. Mark Twain knew how to lift them up because he did it with humor.” Steve Earle and the Dukes will be headlining the 7th Annual John Henry’s Friends Benefit on Dec. 13 at Town Hall, 123 W. 43rd St., NYC.
