2021 Year In Review

Letter from the

Publisher

As 2021 comes to a close, I think it’s safe to say that it’s been far more challenging than the year that came before it. Make no mistake—2020 was a horror show where terms like COVID-19, the coronavirus, social distancing and viral loads became everyday vocabulary as this pandemic swept through the world. Deaths mounted, while confusion and despair collectively swirled around us as front-line workers did God’s work while scientists raced to come up with a medical answer to this insidious virus. And while I saw 2020 as a year of reflection and resilience, where people found a way to keep standing and staying strong, 2021 proved to be quite as challenging on so many levels, despite the fact that this year gave the masses relief in the form of the Johnson and Johnson, Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. Last year, I rhetorically asked the question—do you believe in science? Apparently, there is still debate as to whether or not it is to be trusted in trying to find our way out of this existential nightmare. To be sure, a good chunk of the population rolled up their sleeves and got the jab, but a very vocal minority has decided to politicize what is essentially a major public health concern. I continue to be alarmed at the number of people who have been ignoring common sense public health measures and spent the summer going to parties, ignoring social distancing and other guidelines. Thankfully, the number of vaccinated people has continued to significantly increase, even as the latest viral twist—the Omicron variant—has shown up and decided to join the party. I’m certainly grateful to a number of organizations that helped local communities navigate through all these troubling and uncertain times. The North Shore Guidance and Family Center hasn’t missed a beat in continuing to help people get through the psychological trials and tribulations they were enduring under the weight of this pandemic and all the uncertainty surrounding it. The Safe Center was equally crucial in providing a lifeline to domestic abuse victims at a time when they were living under even more vulnerable circumstances given shelter at home policies. Likewise, The INN and a number of other organizations rallied to address food insecurity concerns, particularly important given the amount of first-time applicants looking for this kind of assistance. In terms of business, I’m immensely proud of how the team at Anton managed to look at the whole business and decide where we’re headed in 2022. We spent the last year keeping the community informed by continuing to provide pandemic updates, kept up with our advertisers and gotten the paper out every week. It’s been quite the challenge, given the fact that the ground has been metaphorically shifting underneath us to the point where every time we think we’ve got the situation under control, another variant pops up and it becomes like a game of Viral Whack-A-Mole. That said, we’ve worked hard on improving our web presence, we still go to Zoom meetings and nothing has basically changed in terms of reporting the news. We’ve stayed true to our mission to deliver local news and get stories out to the communities we serve. We’re doing our job and getting better at it. My hopes and dreams for the year center on us finally getting this disease finally under control with science so we’ll be able to live again. As we look ahead to 2022, I wish you and your families a wonderful holiday season and the happiest and healthiest new year. My hope is that the best is yet to come, even as we pause to remember and honor people we’ve lost, all while carrying them forward in our hearts. Angela Susan Anton Publisher

Plague Year 2: The Sequel

BY FRANK RIZZO

A Statistical Snapshot Positivity Rate Deaths

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

previously obscure name for a Greek letter is gaining wide renown, and not the good kind. Experts believe the omicron variant of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19, will eventually surpass the delta variant as the main cause of illnesses and death. It was first reported last month in Botswana and South Africa and has since spread across the globe. As of Dec. 15, the new variant had been reported in 36 states, and cases have been identified in both Nassau and Suffolk counties. There is still a lot to be learned about omicron, such as how much more contagious than delta it is, if it results in more severe illnesses and higher death rates and how it responds to treatments and vaccines. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “expects that anyone with omicron infection can spread the virus to others, even if they are vaccinated or don’t have symptoms.” The United States last week achieved a grim milestone, with deaths from COVID-19 passing the 800,000 mark. Worldwide, the disease has killed more than 5.3 million. It has entered the history books as one of the deadliest pandemics in recorded history. We are in the midst of yet another surge, with infection positivity rates rising in many states to levels not seen since last winter. This was not the ending envisioned by public health care experts and politicians at the beginning of the year, when the first of three vaccines had become available and promised impressive protection. As eligibility standards opened up, people desperately sought to gain appointments, with the supply unable to meet the demand in the early months. The percentage of the total eligible vaccinated population climbed in the spring and summer, and there was optimism that the pandemic’s back could be broken, with a “return to normalcy” before the end of the year. However, the percentage of the fully vaccinated eligible population nationwide stalled at about 60 percent, and as the fall deepened, a new surge of the delta variant broke out in many states, and now the omicron looms. Despite numerous breakthrough cases that infect those who’ve received a full dose of vaccines plus the booster, health experts are still confident that vaccinations protect against the delta variant. According to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, MD, unvaccinated people are about six times more likely to test positive than vaccinated people, nine times more likely to be hospitalized, and 14 times more likely to die from COVIDrelated complications. Controversy also continues to surround government-mandated lockdowns and mask mandates. Governor Kathy Hochul has received

According to a press release, “The new business and venue requirements extend to both patrons and staff. This measure is effective until Jan. 15, 2022, after which the state will re-evaluate based on current conditions. Since Thanksgiving, the statewide seven-day average case rate has increased by 43 percent and hospitalizations have increased by 29 percent. While the percentage of New Yorkers fully vaccinated continues to increase—gaining 2 percent from Thanksgiving weekend to now—the uptick is not fast enough to completely curb the spread of the virus, particularly among communities with low vaccination coverage.” In a statement, the governor said, “As we continue to combat the winter surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, it is more important than ever to make vaccines, testing and boosters widely available across the state in order to keep ourselves and each other from getting seriously ill due to COVID-19. There is no time like the present to get your vaccine if you haven’t yet and your booster if you have. Mask up, wash your hands, and let’s enjoy a COVID-free holiday season with our loved ones.” To comment on this story, email frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

Bringing Pan Am’s Aviation History To Life BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

hen Pan Am was dissolved on December 4, 1991, it left behind a legacy as the largest international air carrier and was the unofficial flag carrier of the United States for a good chunk of the 20th Century. Thirty years after it closed its doors, the pioneering airline’s legacy lives on in the shape of Garden City’s Pan Am Museum and the Pan Am Podcast that’s been downloaded more than 12,500 times in upwards of 84 countries since it debuted in late August 2021. Launched in 2016 by a group of former employees as a nonprofit on the 25th anniversary of the company shutting its door, the museum’s year-round exhibits can be fittingly found inside the historic Cradle of Aviation Museum. The latest addition to the museum is an impressive time-line that reflects the over-sized impact Pan Am had on the world. With 2021 marking 30 years since the defunct airliner was grounded, former Pan Am flight attendant and current Pan Am Museum Foundation Chair Linda Freire has an understandable zeal in terms of Pan Am’s importance throughout the course of its 64-year existence. “The history of Pan Am is not just about an airline or the evolution of the international air travel from the United States,” Freire explained. “I always say Pan Am is indelibly interwoven into the history of the United States from the last century. There is an exhibit called Clippers Go To War and many people do not know that Pan Am was instrumental in World War II, providing aircraft, personnel and aircraft personnel, to fly the Pacific. It was really the addition of Pan Am air power, in both the Atlantic and the Pacific, the tide of the war was able to turn. Pan Am had the only aircraft that was technologically able to cross such vast distances of ocean.” Founded in October 19, 1927 by commercial aviation pioneer and entrepreneur Juan Trippe, Pan Am enjoyed a sixdecade-plus history rich in a

Ten Pan Am Milestones 1927: First American airline to: operate a permanent international air service, operate land planes over water on regularly scheduled flights and to operate multi-engine aircraft permanently in scheduled transportation. 1928: First American airline to use radio communications, carry emergency lifesaving equipment, to use multiple flight crews, to develop an airport and airways traffic control system, and to purchase aircraft built to its own specification, the Sikorsky S-38. 1929: First American airline to employ cabin attendants and serve meals aloft, to develop and use instrument-flying techniques and to develop a complete aviation weather service. 1930: First American airline to offer international air express service.

1931: First American airline to develop and operate four-engine flying boats. 1932: First airline to sell all-expense international air tours. 1935: First airline to develop and use long-range weather forecasting, to install facilities for heating food aboard an aircraft, to operate scheduled transpacific service. 1939: First airline to provide transatlantic passenger and mail service. 1947: First airline to operate a scheduled commercial round-the-world service. 1967: First airline to make fully automatic approach and landing in scheduled service. 1978: First airline to introduce a round-the-world excursion fare of $999, and to introduce a new class of service for business travelers and fullfare economy passengers— Clipper Class.

number of firsts. Trippe’s quest to make air travel affordable for the every day traveler on a global basis led to a number of technological advancements (the creation of the Boeing 747, the development of air traffic control systems and international route systems still being used by commercial aviation today) and an elite standard of service that defined the Pan Am brand. It’s a big part of what Freire feels made her former employer so special. “Trippe always hired people that exuded a sense of professionalism patterned after the Navy, right down to the uniforms,” she said. “Pan Am pilots had white caps. They were considered masters and not just pilots. This is part of it, everyone had to be the best in the industry. It was always about professional appearance and decorum. The branding and brand marketing of Pan Am was so well done from a very early time that it became synonymous with luxury and international travel. I think it had to do with that sense of military-type precision and professionalism that set a standard that was always way above anybody else in the industry. If you wanted the best, you knew to go to Pan Am.” Freire’s history with the airline started when she was hired in 1979 with her training beginning the following year. By the mid-80s, Freire switched from being a flight attendant to working in an

office position taking over Pan Am’s North Atlantic operation. While Pan Am spent that decade restructuring its fleet and navigating a number of financial and operational setbacks, the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 above Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988 that resulted in 270 fatalities proved to be a fatal blow to the esteemed carrier. Like other Pan Am devotees, Freire self-admittedly “bleeds blue” and is unwavering in her admiration for Pan Am and Trippe. “One of the authors of a book on Pan Am is a man named Robert Daly who said in an interview he thought Juan Trippe was a more important figure in the last century than anyone else,” Freire said. “The person interviewing Daly asked if he really believed that and the author said he did because he thought while other people aspired to reach the top of a mountain, Trippe built a road up there.” The Pan Am Museum is located at Charles Lindbergh Boulevard at the Cradle of Aviation, in Garden City.

2021: The Year The Red Wave Crashed Over The Local Political Landscape

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

n what could be a precursor to the 2022 midterm elections, local 2021 elections saw Republicans sweeping through Long Island legislatures in Nassau and Suffolk. Among the major upsets, incumbent Nassau County Executive Laura Curran was denied a second term after being unseated by former Nassau County Legislature Majority Leader Bruce Blakeman by a count of 50.35 percent to 49.59 percent. On the county level, the GOP also swept the positions of county comptroller (Elaine Phillips), county clerk (Maureen O’Connell) and district attorney (Anne Donnelly). And while Democratic voters outnumber Republicans across the county, the former stayed home as the GOP got the votes out. Donnelly, a veteran county prosecutor who worked in the Nassau County District Attorney’s office for 32 years, became the first Republican to hold the seat since Dennis Dillon left the office 16 years ago. Donnelly handily defeated

For many voters, crime and public safety were on the ballot and driving the Election Day narrative with the successful trope of Democrats being soft on crime being wielded in the wake of Defund the Police and bail reform that had been enacted on the state level. It’s a tactic New York State Democratic Committee Chair Jay Jacobs pointed out the GOP used in its messaging during an interview he did with WCBS. “Their strategy is either to make the voters angry or scare them, and with bail reform, they did both, and they used a lot of misinformation,” Jacobs said. “Not only about bail reform itself and what it is and what the consequences of it were, but also by blaming Todd Kaminsky (for writing a bill he didn’t write.” It’s a narrative furthered by Donnelly, who gave a nod to supporters during her Election Night victory speech when she said, “Thanks for backing the candidate

who backs the blue.” Other upsets included first-time candidate Republican Mazi Melesa Pilip unseating four-term Democratic Nassau Legislator Ellen Birnbaum and Democrat Jennifer S. DeSena running on the Republican line for the Town of North Hempstead supervisor, giving the GOP its first win in three decades for that town’s apex seat, vacated by incumbent Democrat Judi Bosworth, who declined running again. Elections matter and with this Republican sweep, the GOP’s legislative majority rose to 12-7, one seat shy of a supermajority. Other outcomes were less surprising as both the Town of Hempstead and Town of Oyster Bay continued to be GOP strongholds. In the former municipality, familiar Republican names retained control of the supervisor (Donald Clavin) and clerk seats (Kate Murray) while further east, incumbents Joseph Saladino (supervisor) and Richard LaMarca (clerk) cruised to victory in doubling the votes respective challengers Amanda Field and Carla Hoene garnered at the polls. Two seats Republicans failed to capture were in the 16th and 18th Legislative districts. Assemblyman Josh Lafazan (who recently announced he was running for Tom Suozzi’s Congressional seat), squeaked by Republican challenger Paolo Pironi by 221 votes after absentee ballots were tallied in the 18th District race. Likewise, mail-in votes allowed Arnold Drucker of the 16th District to bounce back from the losing side of the ledger with a 405 vote margin of victory over GOP challenger Daniel Alter. But unlike what the temperature is like on the national level, local races have engendered a sense of bipartisanship according to victors like Blakeman, who brought this up when he met the media shortly after the election results were ratified and he was asked about his hiring practices. “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 said. “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.” In keeping with that spirit, the County Executive-elect announced the launching of the website www.servenassau. com. —Additional reporting by Frank Rizzo

Now it’s becoming a trend, as many other institutions have adopted the strategy to provide an incentive during a time of economic recession brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Lavine stopped by the library recently to meet with staff, and present citations to Victor Caputo, Director of the Bryant Library and

Assistant Director Deepa Chandra. “This library is one of the hearts of this community. I am so proud of the library for its forward-thinking in instituting this policy and all the wonderful work that is done here,” Lavine said. Lavine collected dozens of gifts donated for his ongoing toy drive for which the library is a drop-off location. The drive benefits Glen Cove Day Care Center which was damaged by the remnants of Hurricane Ida. —Submitted by the office of Assemblymember Charles Lavine

hether you’re looking for residential land on which to build your dream home or in which to invest, you might need to stretch your budget, depending on where you plan to buy. The average price of residential land grew by 6.8 percent in 2020, faster than other types of land, and is expected to maintain that growth in 2021. Lawn Love’s ranking of 2022’s Most Expensive Counties to Buy Residential Land compares the average price and estimated property tax on an acre of a single-family parcel in 300 of the biggest U.S. counties. Check out the 10 most expensive counties for residential land below, followed by surprising findings from our report. Most Expensive 1. San Francisco County, CA 2. Kings County, NY 3. Hudson County, NJ 4. Santa Clara County, CA 5. San Mateo County, CA 6. Queens County, NY 7. Washington County, DC 8. Bronx County, NY 9. Nassau County, NY 10. Arlington County, VA Kings and Queens of New York You’ll need a king-sized wallet if you want to buy

residential land in Kings County, (Brooklyn). In Kings County (No. 2), an acre will set you back an average of just under $13 million. With such exorbitant prices, it’s no wonder the county’s overall score is more than 20 points higher than the next most expensive county. Take the subway up to Queens County (No. 6) and you’ll find similarly towering prices, slightly lower taxes and even more rules to follow. Southern Savings If you’re really hoping to settle down without breaking the bank, set your sights on the South. Montgomery County, Alabama, boasts the least expensive residential land, and you’ll find similar savings in other Alabama counties, as well as in South Carolina, Louisiana and Tennessee. What makes this region so affordable? These counties have lower land prices, lower taxes, less demand, and more available lots than other metros. You’ll also get more bang for your buck in these areas, where average yard sizes are significantly bigger than in pricier counties.

Food Insecurities On The Island

hile many might think that food insecurity is not a reality on Long Island, newer and established organizations continue to answer the calls for an alarming need in Nassau County. For those who remain laid off from their jobs due to the ebb and flow of the pandemic or are simply struggling to provide meals for their children and families, food pantries on Long Island are looking to help people combat food insecurity, especially during the winter months. Island Harvest, a food bank whose mission is to end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island, has been working tirelessly amid this pandemic to ensure that people don’t go hungry. Island Harvest predicts that the demand for supplemental food support in Nassau and Suffolk counties will continue for at least the next two years as the region’s economy continues to struggle to recover due to the pandemic. “Long Island families continue to struggle from the economic effects of COVID. Coupled with the increased rate of inflation and the region’s high cost of living, many people are living a paycheck away from financial disaster,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, president and CEO of Island Harvest Food Bank, one of the leading Long Island hunger-relief organizations. In its fiscal year, which ended on June 30, 2021, Island Harvest Food Bank delivered a record 18,385,364 pounds of food to approximately 600,000 Long Island families negatively impacted by sudden job losses and other factors and sought emergency food relief. By contrast, the food bank distributed 13,247,637 pounds in the fiscal year of 2019-20 and 9,838,840 in the fiscal year of 2018-19. Before the pandemic, Island Harvest assisted approximately 300,000 individuals on Long Island annually. “Although the USDA recently reported overall food insecurity went down, mainly because of the work of the food banks during the pandemic nationally, it doesn’t mean that hunger is going away,” cautioned Shubin Dresner. She noted that even as things began to return to “normal,” many of our neighbors continue to struggle financially from the ongoing pandemic. According to Shubin Dresner, the recent spike in COVID cases indicates ongoing reliance on local food banks to provide food for people in need. Feeding America, the nations’ leading hunger-relief organization, believes the massive public and private response, provided mainly by its network of foodbanks, played a significant role in keeping food insecurity from rising higher in 2020. “Food shouldn’t be an impossible choice,” stated Shubin Dresner. “For countless Long Islanders facing food insecurity, their next meal isn’t just what to eat for dinner, but rather making the tough choice between buying food and paying for other expenses, like utilities, rent or healthcare.”

Suozzi Announces Millions In Federal Grants To Protect The Long Island Sound BY NATALIA VENTURA

nventura@antonmediagroup.com

ajor projects that will conserve the Long Island Sound are in motion, due to grant funding recently given by the federal government. Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-NY) announced in a virtual press conference that New York’s Third Congressional District will gain nearly $3 million in federal grants to protect the Long Island Sound. The federal funding for the Long Island Sound was hardly $4 million when Suozzi joined Congress in 2017. Ever since, Suozzi has raised federal funding to $30.4 million, a growth of 900 percent. The Long Island Sound is a profitable environmental treasure that has produced $1 billion to the regional economy. “The Long Island Sound is our ‘National Park,’ and we have to treat it that way,” stated Suozzi. “For 27 years, since entering public service, first as Mayor of Glen Cove in 1994 and then as Nassau County Executive in 2002, I have worked on restoring shellfishing beds and reseeding our harbors, cutting nitrogen from sewage treatment plants and stormwater runoff, and cleaning up pollution. As a Member of Congress, in the role of Co-chair of the Long Island Sound Caucus, I helped to increase federal funding to protect the Sound by nearly 900 percent.” Long Island Sound and environmental advocacy groups joined Suozzi in the press conference, which includes: Curt Johnson, President, Save the Sound; Cecilia VenostaWiygul, Udalls Cove Preservation Committee and Board Member, Douglaston Civic Association; Adrienne Esposito, Executive Director, Citizens Campaign for the Environment; Vanessa Pino Lockel, Executive Director, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk; Eric Swenson, Executive Director, Hempstead Harbor Protection Committee; Carol DiPaolo, Coalition to Save Hempstead Harbor; and Heather Johnson, Executive Director, Friends of the Bay. “Over the last ten years, we have made significant progress to increase funding for the preservation and protection of the Long Island Sound, restoration of habitats, monitoring of water quality, and education of the public” said Suozzi. “We need to

Last year we had four schools engaged and this year we have eight. This is the first program on Long Island that specifically engages high school students in protecting and restoring the Long Island Sound through hands on research in various topics including micro plastics, water quality, marine debris, social marketing, and much more. Students become more connected to protection of the natural world when they understand the value it brings to their community and obtain resources and knowledge in how to protect it,” said Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment. “We are extremely thankful to Congressman Suozzi for his leadership in securing this federal funding which makes this whole program possible.” “Long Island Sound is the heart of our region—ecologically, economically, and culturally,” said

The Gamelatron

Music For Everybody BY CHARLES A. RILEY

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

ike a giant jukebox, the ever-entertaining Nassau Museum is playing your song in a thrilling new show that runs until next March. If you are into rock, you will see the Les Paul guitar played by Keith Richards on The Ed Sullivan Show and the famous Gibson “Flying V” guitar favored by Jimi Hendrix and Neil Young. You may be mesmerized by a video portrait of Lady Gaga (did she just blink?) as well as art made by Joni Mitchell as she was working on her greatest album, Blue. There is a view of the Golden Gate Bridge by Tony Bennett, a towering painting by Miles Davis, which is 10 feet tall, and a painting that Frank Zappa made when he was only 20-years-old. Vintage photos of Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Jimi Hendrix and many others are reminders of the Golden Age in recorded music. But nothing you have ever experienced has prepared you for entering the Gamelatron. In the sunlit former dining room of the mansion, you will see and hear a walk-in kinetic sculpture built for this show that brings together music, art and technology in one astonishingly original installation. It is a sanctuary and a room-size instrument. As you listen to the gentle music for gongs and bells made of hammered bronze and gold, the gap between the rationality of design and the spiritual experience of the sublime is bridged. Visitors, including the legendary

composer Jimmy Webb and his wife Laura Savini, darling of the Long Island airwaves, have been enchanted by this brainchild of Aaron Taylor Kuffner, a remarkable artist whose five-year experience with gamelan players and metalworkers in Indonesia, along with his expertise in the engineering behind acoustics and automation, place him in a league of his own. Webb loaned one of his Grammy awards and a revealing self-portrait. He spent nearly an hour listening intently to the unworldly music of the gamelan. “This is the most beautiful space on Long Island now,” rhapsodizes Alaleh

The Gibson Flying V Ostad, a local artist and museum member. If history is more your speed, then the show includes a manuscript by Paganini and masterworks of art by Edgar Degas, Juan Gris, Edouard Vuillard, Lyonel Feininger, Henri Matisse, David Hockney, Romare Bearden and Jasper Johns. Like music itself, the exhibition is global, bringing together not only the greatest of Western classical music, including paintings and sculpture created to the soundtrack of Bach and Beethoven, but the instruments and art of cultures from Africa and Australia to

Local Garden Center Supports Women’s Club Fundraiser

embers and friends of the Women’s Club of Farmingdale (WCF) recently met at Starkie Brothers Garden Center in Farmingdale to make holiday cornucopias filled with fresh plants and artificial seasonal decorations. This event was planned by the club’s Ways & Means Committee, which is chaired by Vicky Impollonia. Each cornucopia was an individual work of art. Guests also enjoyed refreshments supplied by the committee. Several raffles, with donated or purchased prizes, contributed to the amount raised. Committee members include Margaret Barrett, Lynne Cahill, Dolores Cianciabella, Ann Ciuffo, Karen Coonan, Diane Getzelman, Lynda Leone, Gail McGuirk, Elaine Ryan, Lorraine Stanton and Judith Vazquez. Thank you to the members and guests who made it a creative and profitable evening. The WCF was also proud to honor two-time club President Tina Diamond and her executive board, 1st VP Lynda Leone, 2nd VP Vicky Impollonia, Recording Secretary Edie Allen, Corresponding Secretary Judith Vazquez, treasurer Cathy Sewell and auditor Ann Lomonte with a celebratory luncheon at the Nutty Irishman. These ladies proudly kept all the club’s business and philanthropic programs running smoothly during the very difficult time of COVID-19 restrictions. Kudos to Luncheon Chair Cheryl Parisi and her committee—Nancy Carman, Ann Lomonte, Cathy Sewell and Val Thieke for organizing a delicious lunch. Beautiful fall pumpkin centerpieces decorated each table and were made by the committee at Carman’s home and distributed to former past presidents in attendance. Also in attendance to share in the festivities were Diamond’s son Dave and her beautiful granddaughter CeCe. Linda Kreussling read a beautiful poem in memory of Jane Lee Nosal, who was a Past President of MARS, GFWC-NYS and the WCF. The WCF and friends also joined together to

This is an annual tradition, organized by Welfare Chair Rosemary Emigholz and her committee, which takes place several times a year to celebrate various holidays in song. Thank you all for supporting this much appreciated program. The WCF presented Farmingdale Adult Day Care Center Director Anthony Lombardi with a $50 check at their Holiday Fundraiser. The fundraiser included seasonal wreaths, fresh baked goods, raffle baskets, gift cards, lottery tickets and much more. Thank you to all who donated raffle items and helped to make the day so successful. More than $4,000 was raised. It was a Merry Little

Christmas Party at La Villetta Restaurant in Farmingdale for members of the WCF. Hosted by Lorraine Stanton and Maria Ortolani, the party also served as one of two collection venues for the club’s annual donation of holiday tote bags for the homeless children of Madonna Heights. These bags are filled with books, stuffed animals, blankets and any additional items a child in transition might need. Stanton raffled off two $50 gift cards to La Villetta to the surprise of the two winners. Many members wore “red,” with an additional touch of “red lipstick,” to honor the heroine of the latest book club selection—Code Name Helene—an actual World War II spy who always made sure to wear her brilliant red lipstick before “going to work” as an Allied spy. And it’s always a pleasure

to have former members, who are now associate members, join us for meetings, events and parties and we thank Madeline Bondietti, Hilda Carmen and Joan Flaumenbaum for helping us celebrate the upcoming holidays. Once again, the WCF continued it’s annual tradition to put a smile on the faces of children during the Christmas season. Welfare Chair Rosemary Emigholz and members Tina Diamond, Anna Ievolo, Vicky Impollonia, Maria Ortolani, Cheryl Parisi and Lorraine Stanton, donated and delivered 39 tote bags filled with stuffed animals, blankets, books and assorted toys and toiletries to Madonna Heights, a Dix Hills 24-hour care facility which addresses the physical, emotional and social needs unique to women and

Acting Nassau County District Attorney Joyce A. Smith recently announced the indictment of the former Commissioner of Public Safety for the Town of Hempstead on charges he instructed a subordinate to void a ticket of a Town of Hempstead colleague in 2018. Thomas DeMaria, 67, of Floral Park, was indicted by a grand jury on Nov. 16 on three counts, including tampering with public records in the second degree; obstructing governmental administration in the second degree; and official misconduct. DeMaria faces a maximum of 364 days incarceration if convicted of any of the counts. He is due back in court on Jan. 10, 2022. “This defendant abused his authority as a chief public official in Hempstead when he allegedly instructed his employee to make a colleague’s daughter’s parking ticket disappear,” Smith said. “Public corruption takes many forms—large and small—and NCDA is committed to rooting out this conduct no matter the scale and holding government officials accountable when their actions rise to the level of criminality.” According to the indictment, on July 20, 2018, a woman—whose father

worked for the Town of Hempstead— illegally parked her car in a handicapped parking space without the proper permit at Harold Walker Memorial Park on Woodfield Road in Lakeview. A Town of Hempstead Public Safety Officer observed the parking infraction and issued the vehicle a ticket. When the Town of Hempstead employee discovered his daughter received a ticket, he allegedly asked DeMaria to void the ticket, according to the charges. On July 23, 2018, DeMaria allegedly instructed another employee to void the ticket. The employee logged into the Town of Hempstead computer system and voided the ticket, ensuring that it would not be processed by Nassau County Traffic Court. DeMaria was arrested by NCDA Detective investigators on Dec. 7, 2021. Senior Assistant District Attorney Michael Davidman of the Public Corruption Bureau is prosecuting the case. DeMaria is represented by Marc Gann, Esq. The charges are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless found guilty. —Submitted by the office of the Nassau County District Attorney

Troop 45 Celebrates Its 100-Year Anniversary

n June 9, 1921, the first charter for Mineola’s Boy Scout Troop 45 was issued. On Nov. 27, more than 275 people gathered at Jericho Terrace to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Troop 45’s service to the boys and families of Mineola and the surrounding communities. A large part of the crowd there that night were the present day leaders, Scouts and families that make up the Troop. They were joined by many alumni Scouts and leaders from the Troop’s past, as being a member of the Troop 45 Family is, for many, a lifetime affair. Following a wonderful reception hour, with lots of old friends re-connecting, it was time to start the formal part of the evening. The program, which was emceed by Troop 45 Eagle Scout and current Assistant Scoutmaster Glen Peters, started with the official presentation of the boys of the Troop and presentation of the colors. The Troop, led by Senior Patrol Leader Sal Maher, was greeted with great enthusiasm by the crowd, as was a skit they did, along with several adults, of the history of Scouting in America. Then Scoutmaster Steve Grosskopf greeted the crowd and thanked the members of the 100th Anniversary Committee for their good work, and invited everyone to enjoy their dinner. During dinner, the crowd was entertained by an extensive slide show, depicting current Troop activities, as well as a fun look back at years past. After dinner, Scoutmaster Grosskopf

opened the proceedings with some words for the present Troop members and the gathered alumni. He reflected back on his 24 years as Scoutmaster, and echoed the sentiments of what Troop 45 meant to a lot of those present. Then he reached back into his history with the Troop to make the first presentation of the evening. That presentation was made by Grosskopf of Troop 45 Eagle Scout and alumni Ricky Verriest. Verriest was the Troop’s Senior Patrol Leader in Grosskopf’s early years as Scoutmaster, and Grosskopf credited Verriest’s spirit as SPL for continuing Troop 45’s legacy of excellence during his years as SPL. The crowd gave Verriest a very well deserved “Bully!” The evening’s key note speech was delivered by

Troop 45 Eagle Scout, current Assistant Scoutmaster, and the Mayor of Mineola, Scott Strauss. Strauss, as longtime member of the Troop, the father of two Troop 45 Eagle Scouts, son of a former Troop Committee Chairman, and the husband of longtime Troop 45 Secretary Pat Strauss, well knows about the legacy aspect of the Troop. His remarks ended with a presentation that represented a true legacy in the Troop 45 family. The award, presented to Troop 45 Eagle Scout and current Assistant Scoutmaster Don Franz, thanked him for his inspiration and dedication to the Scout program and to Troop 45. Franz’s father Frank was an active member of the Troop during his Scouting years, and after, completing multiple terms as Committee Chairman. Franz’s wife Marla

is the longtime treasurer of the Troop, and they are the parents of two Troop 45 Alumni, including one Eagle Scout. They have multiple grandsons who are Troop 45 alumni Scouts, as well as several who are still in uniform, with many third generation Eagles among them. Marla and Don Franz and the entire Franz Family are indicative of the good people who make up the Troop 45 Family, and the Troop was very proud to recognize their contribution! Grosskopf and Committee Chairman Arnold Austria presented the 45 Silver Stallion award, a recognition for continued outstanding service to the troop, to Michael Desiderio. Emcee Glen Peters had the pleasure of making the next presentation. Grosskopf has long used his own story of being the brother of an Eagle Scout, but having just barely missed out on his own path to Eagle to inspire the Scouts over the years to make sure they give their all in their desire to become Eagle Scouts. The story must have worked, because during his years as Scoutmaster, 99 Troop 45 Scouts have been added to the Eagle Scout rolls. On behalf of the Troop, and the boys he has led and inspired over the years, Peters presented

Grosskopf with an honorary Eagle Scout award. Next, Austria had some words for the Troop family, and then his own presentation to Grosskopf. As the longest tenured Scoutmaster in Troop 45’s 100 year history, Grosskopf was presented with an official Troop portrait. This will hang in a place of honor at the Troop’s meeting place at the First Presbyterian Church, along with existing portraits of former Scoutmasters John Svoboda and Frank Pewarski. Grosskopf was emotional after these presentations, and thanked the Troop family, and was greeted with a standing ovation. When Peters ended the evening, many lingered and continued to enjoy seeing old friends and reconnecting with folks from their past. They were very proud that Troop 45 is still a place that they can all come home to, and that the Troop has continued to maintain the high standards in its Scouting program that they remembered from their youth. It was a wonderful evening for all those in Troop 45’s Family who attended, and everyone who attended left with a sense of pride of being part of such a wonderful organization. Here’s to the next 100 years. —Submitted by Troop 45

Creativity Finds A Different Outlet BY FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

nthony and James Gaudioso of West Los Angeles, by way of Hicksville, have fashioned a solid career in independent filmmaking. They have secured distribution and financing for their movies, which have made money for their backers. They have worked with such actors as Mickey Rourke, Ali Larter, Tippi Hedren (Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds) and Richard Roundtree (Shaft and its remake). They have written, directed, produced and acted in their films.

The Platinum Award is the highest award AAA can bestow on a community for their traffic safety efforts and results. AAA has long recognized communities that make outstanding efforts to make the region’s roads safer for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Long Island Rail Road Company, Long Island Power Authority, Public Service Enterprise Group, Inc. and PSEG Long Island, LLC. The village instituted litigation against these parties in an effort to have the poles installed south of the railroad tracks near the Merillon Avenue train station removed. The Temporary Restraining Order against Garden City was relieved by a higher Court Judge, allowing for the filing of papers on Dec. 15. The trustees have approved appeal of the prior judge’s ruling regarding the poles and the reconstruction of the Denton Avenue underpass.

Recently, Kenny gave away 20 of them to Kassie’s nephew Anesh Sieurag. He graduated from Durham College in Ontario, Canada, at 21, with a degree in computer technology. He followed his parents to Florida to start his career, but instead discovered he had brain cancer. “He couldn’t go down on the floor,” said his mom, so they put the trucks on the table and he listened to the

Democratic County Legislator Josh Lafazan Announces Run For Congress

Fresh off a re-election win in a Trump district, Lafazan will run on his ability to keep NY-03 in Democratic hands

n a launch video entitled “Seat,” County Legislator Josh Lafazan announced his campaign for Congress in NY-03. Since becoming the youngest elected official in New York State when he won a seat on the Syosset School Board at age 18, Lafazan has been elected County Legislator three times in a district won by Donald Trump and passed more bills than any Nassau County Legislator in history. Now, he is running for Congress to represent parts of Nassau, Suffolk, and Queens. In his launch video, Lafazan makes the case that in a tough year, keeping NY-03 in Democratic hands will be a challenge given the changing electorate on Long Island and the national political climate. Josh’s candidacy as a

Democrat who has a proven record of winning across party lines will offer Democrats their best chance at holding this seat and thus delivering on the issues that matter most to them. Lafazan points to his commitment to lowering taxes, making healthcare more affordable, ending the gun violence and opioid epidemics, advocating for our veterans, and fighting COVID responsibly by listening to the science. If elected, Lafazan would be the youngest member of Congress in the Democratic Caucus in Washington. “I was born and raised in this district. I graduated from our public schools, and have served my community as a volunteer, an advocate, a school board member, and a county

legislator. Now I’m running for Congress because in these unprecedented times we need leaders in Washington that are battle-tested and ready to sit down and get to work to solve our toughest challenges,” said Lafazan. “My top priorities are clear: getting property taxes under control, making healthcare more affordable, fixing our crumbling infrastructure, ending the gun violence and opioid epidemics, protecting our environment, and finally ending the global pandemic. These are not poll-tested platitudes but priorities that come from the thousands of conversations I’ve had with residents across this district over the past decade. But none of them can be reality if we don’t keep this seat in

Entertainers try to rebound in a post-pandemic world BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

With the world trying to emerge from the pandemic as yet another COVID-19 variant descend on us, entertainers are struggling to get back to some semblance of a new normal. To that end, Long Island Weekly—Anton Media Group’s arts and entertainment publication—spent 2021 chatting with a wide swath of actors and musicians returning to practicing their craft while emerging from a yearand-a-half lockdown. Returning to being able to do what they love has given these artists a new appreciation of their current station.

or Puerto Rican playwright Paola Lázaro, who plays Juanita “Princess” Sanchez on the final season of The Walking Dead, her current opportunity has proven to be priceless. “It’s been wonderful to be able to connect with fans and people who really love this show and being able to meet them,” she said. “It’s been especially meaningful during this hard time when we felt so lonely because of the pandemic. Being able to connect with them through social media has been an absolute gift for me.” The pandemic also made the cast of Grey’s Anatomy all the more determined to honor the front-line workers who have navigated COVID-19

according to Chandra Wilson, who plays Dr. Miranda Bailey on the show. “One of our goals that we realized early on into the season when we started shooting the first episode was that it really was our responsibility to put the stories of our front line workers and our medical professionals in particular out there and out front,” Wilson said. Musicians who went from being on the road playing live music to having to cool their heels at home were particularly itching to get back to it. Such was the case with ukulele savant Jake Shimabukuro out promoting his duets album Jake & Friends and raring to do what he loves most—playing live. “The reason I love performing so

It’s like a surfer when you catch the perfect wave. I’m just so grateful to be back performing in front of a live audience.” Steve Earle, the relentlessly creative singer-songwriter who has been making hay in live theater in recent years is riding

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A GENEROUS THANK YOU Thank you for your gifts of food, money, and time to make our Thanksgiving deliveries such a success. More than 2,500 pounds of food was delivered to 30 families to make their own meal in addition to 217 hot meals being delivered throughout Nassau County on Thanksgiving Day

to homebound seniors. Three hundred and seventy seven people benefited from your generosity. None of this would have been possible without the generous support from the following groups: Rotary Club of Williston Park, Garden City Chamber of

Commerce Foundation, Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club, Restaurant Depot and Parkway Community Church. A special thank you goes to Robert Auricchio, whose fresh produce made the meals extra special, and to the parishioners of St. Joseph’s and the Garden City Community

Church for their incredible support. There are no words to express how grateful we are for helping to make the little idea we had 26 years ago grow into this! Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. Have a wonderful holiday season. —The Alford Family

When The Governor Speaks First I want to say that this is meant to be a Christmas column, not a political commentary. But it does involve the governor. And of course I’m referring to Quirinius who was governor in the days when Joseph and Mary were about to have their child, Jesus. He and all the other officials were beholden to Rome and when Rome required all residents to return to their hometown to be counted in a census, it probably did not go well. After all the real purpose of the census was to tax the population to support the occupying army, and of course the emperor and his court. While I suspect there was a good deal of resistance to this, Joseph and Mary complied by heading for Bethlehem even though Mary was toward the last days of her pregnancy. Can you imagine traveling any distance by foot (or donkey) so close to giving birth? If I was in that situation I’d be

A Study On Gratitude As We Enter The Holiday Season As the snow flurries begin their autumnal dance through the air, our thoughts turn towards Hanukkah, Christmas and all the festivities that we have already celebrated or are yet to arrive. Though Thanksgiving has come and gone, I have always kept gratitude at the forefront of my mind. As it has been said on memes and in quotes by every famous person to walk the Earth, there is always, ALWAYS something for which to be grateful. While I realize this column may seem a little behind the times, please allow me the opportunity to explain why I feel grateful for so many things. Throughout my life, I have found that when I am thankful for that which I already have, I am not searching for things to “get.” People matter, not things. As we live this on the daily, we realize that health is wealth, people are better than “things” and gratitude is the only way to truly appreciate life and all its blessings. This Thanksgiving, we celebrated a very quiet dinner at home. My daughter and her boyfriend stopped by for some turkey and vegan “chick’n” with all the fixings, a peaceful neighborhood walk afterwards and some lively conversation over dessert. Preparing for the day, I began to

SCHOOL NEWS STEM WEEK MADE POSSIBLE WITH STUDENT VOLUNTEERS STEM Week in the Oyster Bay-East Norwich School District kicked off on Dec. 1, and was made possible with help from the members of the Science National Honor Society. Prior to the week’s events and activities, high school students in the SNHS put together activity kits for younger students in the district to celebrate STEM Week. Members volunteered their time to pack 800 STEM kits for elementary students. For example, they put together kits filled with materials to make popsicle stick catapults for Vernon students and materials to make at-home hovercrafts for Roosevelt students. Throughout the course of STEM week, students who complete challenges have the opportunity to be

entered into raffles and win a variety of prizes.

REMEMBERING MS. SIPER The Jericho community was saddened to hear the news of the sudden passing of Cantiague Elementary School teacher Ms. Rande Siper on Oct 5. During her career in the Jericho School District, Ms. Siper taught first and fifth grades. First-grade teacher at Cantiague and long time friend of Ms. Siper, Ms. Rubinberg, described her as being dedicated and energetic. “She always found the good in each student,” she said. The two friends shared a favorite quote of “Stay in your lane.” They would say this to each other as a way of reminding each to follow her own path and work hard not only in their career but also in their personal lives as mothers. Jericho Superintendent Mr. Grishman always appreciated Ms. Siper’s positive attitude. He said, “You saw that she loved being a teacher by her face. You would walk into her classroom and her face was always bright and lit up.” Cantiague principal Dr. Sapienza met Ms. Siper when he was a teacher at Cantiague. They recently reconnected when he came back to Cantiague to be principal this year. He said, “She made the building a place where you wanted to be. She had an infectious smile and a wonderful personality and was opening and welcoming to students and staff.” The impact that Ms. Siper left on her students was significant and lasting. Jericho High School sophomore Madison L. had Ms. Siper in fifth grade. She said, “She enjoyed

her class and always made sure that each of her students had fun. It was very evident that she enjoyed her job, so she influenced me to follow a career (Photo courtesy path I would be of the Jericho happy in.” School District) Jericho senior Pranav N. who also had Ms. Siper in fifth grade said, “She was charismatic, loving and caring. She really cared about where all of us ended up and how we felt.” Superintendent Grishman explained that when Ms. Siper tragically passed, the school had to step in and provide staff and students with support in their grieving process. “It was an event that shook her students, colleagues, friends and family,” he said. He added, “ They had five psychologists from other buildings in the building to talk to kids and support kids and to support the staff, and we kept that going for several days.” Ms. Siper was someone who spread positivity to everyone around her. She was indeed a “bright light” in many people’s lives and she will be missed dearly by everyone who she touched. We thank her not only for the education she provided to Jericho students, but for the life lessons she taught them along the way. Her smile will last forever. -Submitted by JerEcho—Jericho high school’s student newspaper

Students, teachers, and parents thanked by Dr. King’s daughter for continuing to spread her father’s message Glen Cove students, residents, and family members came together to march in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. in partnership with The Glen Cove Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission. The march, held ahead of time to be videotaped for viewing during the virtual City of Glen Cove Annual Dr. King Program, began at First Baptist Church and concluded at Finley Middle School. The event, organized by Sheryl Goodine, former Glen Cove High School assistant principal, serves as an opportunity to show students the importance of remembering history and uniting together as we continue to make progress towards Dr. King’s dream of racial equality. Bernice King, the daughter of Dr. King, acknowledged and thanked the students, parents and teachers of the Glen Cove City School District for continuing to spread Dr. King’s message via a tweet in response to a post made by Dr. Sheena Jacob, the District’s coordinator for social studies K-12.

Dr. Jacob continues to work collaboratively with Ms. Goodine to ensure her family’s inspiring story is shared with Glen Cove students for years to come. Goodine, who grew up in Glen Cove, attended the South School, which at that time was nearly exclusively made up of black children. Jimmy Davis, her father, thought that segregated schools had no place in Glen Cove and sued the school system and was successful. The Glen Cove City School District continues to support Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s message that emphasizes the importance of caring about others and treating everyone equally.

Honor Society and maintains a 103.70 weighted average while taking all AP classes. With volleyball and kickline happening in the same season, one of the keys to Mendola’s success is time management. “Playing two sports in one season and balancing AP classes is extremely time consuming,” Mendola said. “But with the right time management, it’s extremely rewarding. Allowing yourself time to relax and recover while also knowing how long it takes to complete your work is key.” Mendola started going to Island Trees summer sports camps in the fourth grade. That’s when she tried volleyball for the first time and fell in love with the sport. A middle blocker, Mendola was recognized by Newsday as one of the top blockers for the 2021-22 season. She finished the season with 40 kills, 17 blocks, eight assists, eight digs and 12 aces.

She was the oldest of two, the other being her younger brother Joseph Mikalauskas. Adele attended St. Luke’s Grammar School, then Mary Louise Academy, ultimately graduating from St. Joseph’s College. While Adele knew her husband, Gene, in grammar school, it wasn’t until college that Adele was allowed to date Gene. Not until he returned from service in WWII, as a US Marine, First Marine Division, did the love affair really begin to blossom. Married 11/22/1951, this love affair lasted beyond his death (9/9/1997) till her last breath. Adele was a devoted mother and grandmother. Her grandchildren were the apple of her eye. And, as grandparents often do, Adele spoiled her grandchildren. But, she also taught all the importance of family, perseverance, forgiveness, and kindness. She rejoiced in her children’s accomplishments and in their families. Adele enjoyed a full life and engaged in several beloved activities including spending time with her Pearsall Ave Bridge Club members, the Glen Cove Women’s Club (formerly St. Patrick’s), the Glen Cove Senior Center, and was a long-time member of Nassau Country Club. Adele was a devoted alumna of the Mary Louis Academy “MLA” and St. Joseph’s College (Brooklyn). Beloved wife of the late Eugene Fullam and daughter Anne Fullam Goeke, Adele is survived by her four children and spouses, Gene (Susan) Fullam, Peter Fullam, Kristin Fullam, and Karen (Brennan) as well as by her six grandchildren who were her greatest treasures: Patrick, Ryan, Mathew, Carly, Sean, and Amy. She is predeceased in death by her brother, Joseph Mikalauskas. Adele will be missed by her nieces, nephews and close friends. The funeral service will be held at St. Patrick’s RC Church, Glen Cove, on Tuesday, December 14, 11a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at https://www.stjude.org/ 228703 S

After all, you “shop” for other things.

e apologize for using the word “shop,” but the fact is, for most people a funeral service is a major purchase and families want to prevent overspending. Combining cost and quality is one of the things we do best. Please feel free to ask about our comparative cost analysis.

Dr. Mary Kathleen O’Loughlin Dr. Mary Kathleen O’Loughlin, aka Kathy (11/27/47) passed away on November 14, 2021 after being diagnosed with late stage ovarian cancer in 2016. With tenacity she took on numerous novel breakthrough treatments that resulted in extending her life. Many domestic and international studies she participated in are now serving as templates for legions of others to benefit from in the near future. She is survived by her husband of 51 years, Eddie O’Loughlin; sisters Barbara Olsen and Joan Culp; brothers Jimmy Elsasser and Bobby Elsasser (Tommy Elsasser deceased), sister-in-law Sandy Elsasser, brothers-in-law Jim O’Loughlin, Tim Culp , Bob Olsen; nieces Nadine Aktan, Erin O’Loughlin, Caroline Elsasser, Tori Cullo; nephews, Michael and Jon Thomas Elsasser, Mukbil Aktan; grand niece Delila and grand nephew Jett Aktan. Her son, Timothy O’Loughlin passed away in 2003 at 27. Kathy earned a Bachelors and a Masters Degree in Education from Queens College, a Masters Degree in Psychology at the New School and a Ph.D in Psychology at New York University. She began her academic life teaching early childhood classes while attending college in the evening. Eventually she joined Nassau Community College as an adjunct professor in Psychology and earned a Full Professor of Psychology designation. She loved research and dedicating herself to her students. Kathy participated in and led many committees that contributed to the integrity and advancement of the Psychology Department, and the college. Her philosophy was not merely to teach required courses, but to also instill and encourage a passion for life and learning. She cherished her son Timothy, her husband Eddie, and her large family. Her curiosity led to her love of international travel for leisure and academic interests, including visiting Russia during Perestroika. Kathy relished a life time in the service of people and peace. She would often receive acknowledgment on how she impacted someone’s life. She never sought the spotlight and would simply comment, “it was what anyone would do”. Kathy lived a life as a beam of light for positivity. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Timothy O’Loughlin Scholarship Fund at Nassau Community College colleen.ohara@ncc.edu 228627 M

options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Department of Financial Services at (800) 342-3736 or visit the Department’s website at http://www. dfs.ny.gov. Rights and Obligations YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LEAVE YOUR HOME AT THIS TIME. You have the right to stay in your home 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.

SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the Summons and Complaint in this Foreclosure Action, you may lose your home. Please read the Summons and Complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney of your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself. SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Department of Financial Services’ at 1-800-269-0990 or visit the Department’s website at http://www.dfs.ny.gov. 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. We are attempting to collect a debt. Any information obtained will be used for that purpose.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You genuinely want to help others. If you could, you’d say yes to everyone. Alas, you can only be one place at a time. Your brilliance emerges in the way you decline invitations. You’re somehow able to compliment people and make them feel good about the relationship in whatever form it is taking.

Ship shape Solution: 19 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Getting perspective will be the success key to this week’s endeavors. One viewpoint will not be enough. Go up; go down; ask remote people and insiders. You’ve a multitude of optical options, none better than another. It’s when you put it all together that you’re brilliant. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You can’t very well obey your heart if you can’t hear it through the noise of your mind. A superstition will help you calm the chatter. You don’t even have to really believe it to have your thoughts settle and organize themselves around the ritual.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve thought a lot about a problem and worked it out theoretically, but the only way to tell if an idea is actually a solution is to apply it in real life. There’s something scary about this, but don’t let it stop you from drumming up your courage and executing the plan. You’ll love where you wind up. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your approach to relationships is rather inspired and comes with an impeccable sense of rhythm. Every relationship needs closeness and space. You’ve a knack for reading subtle cues about what your partner needs and wants and sensing the amount of distance that best serves the relationship. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In the past, you took what came along, but now you’re ready for something a little more specific to your preferences and vision. It requires courage to be selective. You trust there is something better for you and you’re willing to ask for it, search for it or create it as need be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As you witness the world, you make it, too. Choosing what to focus on brings your picture together. What you don’t focus on may as well be absent entirely. To make sure your world includes and indeed features your beloved people, things and ideas, you will flow your attention where they are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). While many spend what they don’t have to buy what they can’t afford to impress who they don’t know, your realistic and modest approach makes you rich in the ways that matter, and financially, too. Affirm your purpose and remain guided by your principles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Human signals can be subtle: a flicker of facial tension, a flushed face, a change in the voice... Stress and attraction are two triggers of especially noticeable signals, at least to you. You’re observant. Your attention to the subtleties will tip you as to what is going on with those around you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll set yourself up for success and improvement by appreciating what you see around you. Even if there’s a drop of jealousy in the mix, it will be lucky for you. Because you’re naturally competitive, you are bound to occasional envy; use it well! Let your attractions inform you as to what to go for in life.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ll express what’s on your mind and in your spirit but you’ll also know, for long stints, the peace of not having to. Just being yourself, with nothing to prove or do, you’ll come to a deep understanding of your inherent worthiness. Paradoxically, it will often be in times of inactivity when the structure of your life aligns to meet goals. Loving people will be even more so in 2022, showing affection in myriad ways. You’ll expand your love vocabulary and grow comfortable with dear exchanges. COPYRIGHT 2021 CREATORS.COM

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You start out with a certain amount of energy to expend on each day, then positive emotions give you even more to work with, or negative emotions drain the wells. Each morning, remind yourself of your top three priorities. Tend to those, and anything more that gets accomplished will be icing on the cake.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can’t always choose your company but when the choice is yours to make, there are certain names at the top of your list. It will be wonderful to see some of those people this week. Also, you’ll be receiving requests, most likely indirect, so tune in to the prompt of subtle suggestion.

A Hard Days Work

Actor Colin Bates takes center stage in Bob Dylan-inspired Broadway musical BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

Starting out as a dancer at the young age of seven, actor Colin Bates knew that the stage is exactly where he wanted to be in life.

“I

started as a dancer and I was living in California,” Bates recalled. “I was friends with this girl who told me to come to dance class with her. So I went to dance class and I guess I liked performing. I think I liked the attention and the community and all that. It was dance that got me into acting and then it was musical theater, then straight on to acting and now I’m back doing musical theater many years later.” Now you can see Bates on the Great White Way in the musical Girl From The North Country in which celebrated playwright Conor McPherson boldly reimagines the legendary songs of singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. Bates plays Gene, who like everyone else in the musical, is struggling to get by in life. “The musical takes place in Duluth, MN, and it’s just a bunch of these bizarre characters that are in and out of the house,” Bates said. “It takes place during the Great Depression in the 1930s, so everyone is having a bit of a crisis in their life somewhere or another. Gene is the son of the main family who owns the Laine Boarding House. My father is my father, my

mother is losing her mind a bit and my sister is African-American who was adopted off the streets. So we have Dylan’s music to kind of set the mood and it’s more of a dramatic play, but it’s a very interesting show. I’m the young, lost, alcoholic artist in the 1930s who dreams of making a living off his art and it’s hard to do. It’s still hard to do for so many people.” Now that Broadway is finally back in business after almost a year and a half shutdown due to COVID-19, Bates said it’s great to finally be back on stage. “It is so amazing to be back,” he said. “The energy we’re getting from the audience is better than ever. People were yearning for theater I guess and we’re getting big crowds. People are pumped about it and they’re very vocal. The energy is very strong, so it’s a special time to be there.” Throughout his career, Bates has been featured in many television shows such as American Rust, FBI: Most Wanted, Mayans M.C. and films. So does he have a preference on which one he likes better? “I like them both for different

reasons,” he laughed. “The best part about theater is the community and it’s just a family that we create. I love the collaboration of television and creating it. It’s like instant collaboration and it feels more like playing honestly. I think independent film is my favorite medium just because you get to take your time and work with the director.” Girl From The North Country is currently playing at the Belasco Theatre located at 111 W. 44th Street in New York City.

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

Colin Bates’ Favorite Bob Dylan Songs

Ever since Colin Bates was a kid, Bob Dylan has always been on his radar. “I was actually listening to Dylan with my father in the car the other day and he was telling me all the times he listened to him when he was young,” Bates said. “My dad played Dylan’s music when I was growing up. Then of course when I became a young teen, I got into Dylan as well. The musical is very interesting with the arrangements [of the songs].” Bates added that when he first got the job years ago to be a part of Girl From The North Country in London’s West End, he and his girlfriend took a road trip across the country for six weeks and went up to Duluth, MN. “We tried to listen to Dylan’s music the entire time and it was pretty amazing,” he said.

Bates’ top three favorite Bob Dylan songs are: 1. “Alberta #1” from the 1970 album Self Portrait. 2. “Something There Is About You” from the 1974 album Planet Waves. 3. “I Want You” from the 1966 album Blonde on Blonde. —Anthony Murray
