Islanders Back Home On Long Island Governor hails ‘spectacular’ arena

BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

overnor Kathy Hochul gave her seal of approval to the new UBS Arena in Elmont at a recent ribbon cutting. Sparing no superlatives, the state’s chief executive called it “spectacular,” “awesome” and “as good as it gets” after stating that she had been in plenty of arenas. Noting the quick realization from its conception in December 2017 and groundbreaking in September 2019, Hochul praised those who “helped us write the screenplay for the 2021 edition of miracle on ice. You are witnessing the miracle on ice right here because you got it done in two years during a pandemic.” The state put out bids to develop the underutilized 53 acres adjacent to the track and grandstand and a team headed by the Islanders’ ownership under the umbrella New York Arena Partners won approval from the Empire State Development (ESD) state agency. Construction was delayed for two months in 2020 because of COVID-19. As part of the development, the LIRR built its first new station in 50 years at the north end of the property. The Elmont station is only serving eastbound trains until its western platform is built next summer. Several team owners had sought to move from or replace the Nassau Coliseum, the Islanders’ home since the club’s initial 1972 season. Though the building was beloved by many fans and held memories of the dynasty years, it was seen as outdated and a drag on the Islanders’ finances. After bidding farewell to the Coliseum at the end of the 2014-15 season as it faced reconstruction, the Islanders moved to Brooklyn’s Barclays Arena from 2015 -20. In 2020-21, the team played games at its old and new venues as the UBS Arena started taking shape. “Today is a monumental day for New York and the Islanders as we cut the ribbon on the world-class new UBS Arena,” Hochul said. “This is the first step in the newly redeveloped Belmont Park, which will serve as an internationally recognized destination for sports, entertainment, retail and hospitality. As New York continues to recover from the COVID pandemic, Belmont Park will be instrumental in strengthening the regional economy and boosting tourism for generations to come.” Kevin Law, the former longtime head of the Long Island Association

and nominee to chair the ESD, said the arena “will create a significant boost to tourism and economic activity for the region. Tourism and hospitality are important to the state’s economy and the redevelopment of Belmont Park will transform the area into a premier entertainment destination.” Also on hand for the ribbon cutting was NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, who said, “I want to congratulate Governor Hochul, the Islanders, their fans and our partners in government and the private sector whose vision, hard work and commitment made this historic day possible. For years the Islanders have dreamed of a first-class, state-of-the-art arena they can call home. Today, that dream comes true.” According to published reports, the arena, along with its Northwell Health Ice Center practice facility in East Meadow, will allow the franchise to

attract and retain players. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said, “It’s a historic day for Nassau County and for Islanders Nation. The Belmont project has benefited our local communities since day 1, creating new jobs and economic activity, expanding our public transit network and bringing our beloved Isles home for good-a hat trick for Nassau. As an avid supporter of this effort, I’m proud of the team that got the job done.” New York Arena Partners is also renovating nearby Elmont Road Park after community input and planning workshops, and providing improvements to Hendrickson Avenue Park. Future projects include a 350,000 square-foot destination entertainment and retail complex, a 250-key hotel and a community center. A slew of high profile entertainers have already played or slated appearances at the arena, including Harry Styles, Journey, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters and comedian Sebastian Maniscalco, who sold out his Dec. 27 show in 30 minutes back in July.

day—all while promises of community benefits remain thus far unfulfilled,” Solages said. “Residents are furthermore disappointed that the future train station—which was promised for Elmont—will be located in Bellerose Terrace and the question of how they will get between the bus stops along Hempstead Turnpike and the new train station at the north end of the Belmont property remains unresolved.” Floral Park, which borders Belmont Park and the new UBS Arena, is reportedly facing some adverse effects. “ A number of issues arose with regards to the opening of the arena,” Mayor Kevin Fitzgerald said in a letter to residents. “A number of these issues, especially in and around the North—now called Emerald Lot—that we sadly and accurately predicted would occur, have occurred. We continue to speak with our state elected representatives, state agencies and others on a daily basis to work on rectifying most of these issues. We have proposed several steps that can be taken that we believe are reasonable solutions that can and should be quickly implemented.” Opposition Fitzgerald said that any pre-existing The project has faced lawsuits from gates in the village to Belmont Park will both the Village of Floral Park and Elmont residents over various issues.

Suozzi Announces Run For Governor Demands a ‘holiday plan’ for COVID

BY NATALIA VENTURA

nventura@antonmediagroup.com

n Nov. 29, Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi declared he will be withdrawing from the race for New York’s 3rd District to focus on running for governor of New York, joining in a race that is already packed with candidates including Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James and New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams. With Suozzi dropping out of the race, this places Melanie D’Arrigo as the only 2022 Democratic Congressional nominee for NY-3. This puts her well ahead of anyone else who decides to enter. “My opponent just announced that he is no longer running for this seat, and that means this race has just become one of our best chances to elect another progressive to Congress who will center the needs of working people,” D’Arrigo said. Suozzi refers to himself as a “common sense Democrat,” and on Dec. 1 he called upon the state in a news conference, to deliver a more effective and thorough plan to take on COVID as the holiday season nears. “New York needs a holiday plan for COVID. Why do we need a holiday plan? Because everybody is going to be gathering, because we already have the concerns regarding Delta and because of the fact that the Omicron variant is something we should be worried about because we don’t know what’s going to happen,” he stated. His slide presentation consisted of graphs based on recent infection rates in different parts of New York, and how the amount of average daily cases almost doubled in November. “We’ve seen a dramatic spike in the rate of infections in New York over the past month or so, and there are a lot of different factors that could be contributing to this but we have to be conscious of the fact that we’ve had key revenue drivers, certainly in downstate New York but it’s affecting all of us.” The strategies he discussed included developing more mass vaccination sites and focusing on booster shots since, “right now there’s 13 mass vaccination sites in the state of New York. That’s half the number of what we ran

Rep. Tom Suozzi, who joined the race for NY governor, has scrutinized Gov. Kathy Hochul for not having a thorough plan against COVID-19. (Photo by Natalia Ventura) earlier this year. So I think that between now and New Year’s, especially during this holiday season, the greatest gift you can give for the holidays is to get a booster shot.” Suozzi continued with emphasizing the importance of the state’s MicroCluster Strategy, the need for aggressive testing throughout the state, and for New York to plan for testing and quarantine conditions for international travel and borders. “So we have to encourage booster shots, we need a microcluster strategy, and we need to encourage aggressive testing so that we can keep track of this,” he said. “Especially looking to find out if the Omicron has come here. We have to look at testing and quarantine requirements related to international travel and the Northern border of New York State. We’ve got to worry about Canada, and who’s coming in from Canada into the United States of America. And we have to set up protocols for testing and quarantine for people coming into the state.” In order to increase the vaccination rate in New York, Suozzi believes developing a marketing campaign to

provide incentives to people to get vaccinated would encourage them. He would also push to get doctors and hospitals involved to help motivate the people to get vaccinated. When asked about how his political style compares to former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and his handling of COVID-19, Suozzi stated, “He and I have pretty different styles, but I’m not taking away from him that he did accomplish a tremendous amount. He’s got his flaws, he’s got problems, he’s got very serious allegations about his conduct which should be very concerning to all of us, but you can’t take away the fact that during COVID he was there every single day laying out a comprehensive plan and coordinating the state on these issues.” Suozzi continued, “Governor Cuomo had a reputation for being very controlling of everything, I’ve been in elected office long enough that I know you can’t do that. You have to let your people flourish, and be creative, and give you their ideas and keep things moving forward. You can’t keep controlling everything like that. That’s

the difference between he and I.” Suozzi also commented how Governor Hochul has not been present enough when it comes to handling COVID and directing the people of New York. “I think the governor can do a better job of laying out a comprehensive plan that looks at all the factors, not letting things out piecemeal, one thing here, one thing there. Its got to be a comprehensive plan, its got to be done every day, and we have to be constantly advising the public and the health care professionals throughout the state, and the county health commissioners and county executives as to what we’re doing and what needs to be done. I always used this expression when I was county executive, and I did emergency management, ‘Be prepared, not scared.’ We’ve got a lot of little pieces, but it has got to be a comprehensive plan and its got to be doggedly pursued with vigilance certainly over the next 30-40 days.” To comment on this story, email nventura@antonmediagroup.com

Donnelly Introduces DA Transition Team N

assau County’s incoming District Attorney Anne Donnelly introduced her transition team, who will assist her as she prepares to take office as Nassau County’s new top law enforcement officer. Donnelly’s transition team includes a diverse group of talented lawyers, professionals, community educators, and others committed to the safety of Nassau County neighbors and the well-being of at-risk members of society. “I am excited to take important steps that will enable me to ‘hit the ground running’ as Nassau’s next District Attorney,” stated Donnelly. “I am working with a group of talented and committed individuals who are all focused on keeping the public safe and providing positive options for members of our society who are at risk.” The transition team includes former prosecutors, law professors, a college educator, a former member of the New York State Attorney General’s Office, a member of the Amistad Bar Association, a retired Nassau County administrative judge, a past president of Nassau County Criminal Court Bar Association and the head of an association that provides resources to recent immigrants to the United States. At the same time, Donnelly announced that she and/or members of her transition team will be meeting with a host of groups and individuals in an effort to develop strategies, policies and priorities to best serve the residents of Nassau County. Some of the types of people and groups with which the incoming top prosecutor will meet include victims’ rights advocates, drug counseling representatives, executives with Mothers Against Drunk Driving, veterans’ organizations, Nassau County Youth Board executives, law enforcement officials and union representatives, groups involved in combatting food and housing insecurity, Nassau Corrections and Probation Department administrators, representatives of the clergy, as well as other groups that are focused on combatting crimes which are motivated by bias, racism, anti-Semitism or other forms of hate. The transition team will focus on a variety of priorities, along with the incoming district attorney. Among the points of focus are establishing an Anti-Bias Crimes Unit, and expanding resources in the Technology Crimes Bureau is also a top priority identified by Donnelly during the campaign.

Additional imperatives include providing more support and programs for at-risk youth, and the incoming district attorney is committed to furnishing enhanced counseling, treatment and education resources in response to the opioid epidemic and other dangerous illicit drugs. Nassau’s next top law enforcement officer will also squarely target drug dealers and drug distribution networks. The incoming “Top Cop” also indicated that more must be done to provide positive alternatives for at-risk young people who are being recruited into gangs. Donnelly noted that she will continue to strongly back law enforcement and work with them to fight crime and enhance relationships with community leaders. She will work to remove illegal guns from our communities. Also high on Donnelly’s priority list is developing strategies to deal with the corrosive effects of the so-called “bail reform” law, along with working with other district attorneys to lobby Albany for major changes in the law. Finally, the career prosecutor indicated that she will work to support and equip the district attorney’s team of prosecutors, investigators and other staff members in a display of heartfelt respect for their dedication and to ensure the success of the Office’s mission. “I have a long list of priorities, and a great team of leaders to help me accomplish key imperatives and implement policies that will keep Nassau County the safe suburban community that we love,” said Donnelly. “From helping at-risk youth and combatting drug abuse to removing illegal guns

from the streets and coping with the dangerous ‘bail reform’ law, I am ready and eager to get to work for Nassau neighbors.” “I am excited to be working with our next district attorney, Anne Donnelly, as well as a transition team, which is comprised of talented and experienced individuals,” said Chairman Brian Griffin. “I know that we will be successful in identifying important goals and establishing a meaningful agenda.” “I want to thank the members of my transition team for their guidance, expertise and willingness to serve our residents,” concluded Donnelly. “I know that these individuals will help me to shape policies and priorities that will keep Nassau residents safe.”

Insurance May Cover Repairs To Water And Sewer House Connections The Great Neck Water Pollution Control District (GNWPCD) is pleased to inform its residents that it has learned that some insurance companies are offering new insurance coverage designed to assist a homeowner in the repair and/or replacement of their water and sewer house connections. This new coverage can be especially helpful to homeowners, as they are responsible by law for the repair of their house connections. More than a half dozen major insurance carriers licensed to do business in New York are known to have this coverage, so homeowners are advised to contact their broker or insurance company directly to see if they offer this level of insurance. “We are always looking to help our neighbors save money whenever possible, and upon learning about this offering by some, we wanted to ensure residents knew to inquire about their policy,” GNWPCD Chairman Steve Reiter said. “We strongly suggest our residents contact their insurance provider to see if they are covered for these repairs and/or replacements.

Having this coverage can save you thousands as the cost to repair or replace these lines without insurance can exceed $10,000.” The District has been made aware that the following companies have started offering these service line connection insurance policies: Andover, Kingstone, NatGen, Narraganset Bay,

Occidental/Sage, Utica, Berkshire Hathaway and Sterling. There are many instances in which homeowners are unknowingly responsible for repairs to underground pipes and wiring which bring several vital services into and out of their homes. Under this insurance policy, not only are these service line

repairs covered, but also any damage to outdoor properties caused by these repairs, such as lawns, driveways and walkways. Additionally, if your home is unhabitable during the repairs, hotel and other costs may be covered as well. —Submitted by the Great Neck Water Pollution Control District

North Shore Middle School Viking Explorers Examine Local Life Forms

iking Explorers is an elective class that teaches students Robotics, Marine Biology, Geology, Environmental Science and so much more. On the students first trip,they visited Tappen Beach and examined local life forms. The students walked out into the water in wader boots and used a seine net to catch small specimens to examine. The Viking Explorer students caught spearing, killies and even some jellyfish. After that, they read the text The Outer Lands and learned about how Long Island was actually formed by a glacier. The students then tested the water with pH strips and tested for other chemicals as well. The students got the opportunity to pilot their

They went on a Biotic Communities hike and learned about the woods, the local trees and plants, including invasive species. Following the hike, they were taught about geology and erosion with the help of the museum geologist. Examples of their learnings were shown with a model called a stream table and found clay on the beach that was older than Long Island. —Written by Christian Kilada and Shaan Abidi (Viking Explorer Students) —Submitted by North Shore Central School District

Plainview Water District Receives Gold Award The Plainview Water District (PWD) is proud to announce it has received the Gold Engineering Excellence Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) New York for their Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) pilot studies done in conjunction with their consulting engineers from H2M architects + engineers. This award represents all of the hard work the PWD has put in over the past several years in piloting AOP treatment systems to treat the community’s drinking water for the emerging contaminant 1,4-dioxane. The initial pilot studies completed have now culminated into the District having six AOP systems up and running in record time. “Receiving the Gold Engineering Excellence Award is a testament to the dedication from everyone here at the Plainview Water District and our consultants

at H2M architects + engineers,” said PWD Chairman Marc Laykind. “Our commitment to the rapid installation of AOP treatment systems to ensure the safety of our residents’ drinking water has been second to none these past few years. We are truly honored to have the recognition from ACEC New York for our collective efforts.” Before installing the new AOP water treatment technology, water providers were required to test the efficacy of the treatment systems by conducting pilot studies on each impacted well. These studies and the data generated were instrumental in allowing the District to quickly construct full-scale AOP treatment systems. This award further cements the PWD as a leader in this island-wide treatment endeavor as the information collected during the pilot period was instrumental to the deployment of AOP systems

throughout the District. “All of us at the Plainview Water District are committed to not only distributing the highest quality water possible, but being leaders in water treatment,” said PWD Commissioner Amanda Field. “From my fellow commissioners and staff as well as our engineers, this award is a reflection on our team and speaks volumes to their dedication to keeping the water flowing safely and efficiently in Plainview-Old Bethpage.” The most recent AOP system to come online, at Plant 3 on Orchard Street, is a $2.2 million system specifically designed to produce up to 2 million gallons per day of the highest quality drinking water for the Plainview-Old Bethpage community. The PWD now has the ability to treat over 11 million gallons of water every day for 1,4-dioxane. The District had planned these treatment

facilities back in 2018, two years before these regulations were put into effect. Due to their efforts, the PWD was able to ensure all water being distributed to the community was in compliance with the maximum contaminant level (MCL) regulations before they went into effect. “Our team here at the PWD has been nothing short of spectacular in getting these facilities up and running as quickly as they did,” said PWD Commissioner Andrew Bader. “Our District has always been committed to making the necessary investments to benefit the community, but this recent wave of infrastructure needs was certainly unprecedented in both size and scope. We are honored to have this award to recognize all of the progress we have made.” Since 2017, the Plainview Water District has been awarded over $9 million in infrastructure grant money in

Long Island’s Finest Collection of Furs

Since 1947

order to build these necessary AOP treatment facilities. The removal of 1,4-dioxane from wells across Long Island is estimated to cost $840 million in capital investments with an additional $50 million per year in increased operating and maintenance costs. For more information about emerging contaminants and the steps the District has taken thus far, visit www.plainviewwater. org/resources/emerging-contaminants/. If you have questions or seek additional information, please call the district at 516-931-6469 or email info@plainviewwater. org.

The lifetime Levittown resident is the incumbent fire commissioner, having spent 20 years in the position.

In your 20 years as commissioner, what would you say are some of your proudest achievements? JB: The ability to get four or five grants worth somewhere between $700,000 and $1 million. We were able to bring that in to buy new gear, new equipment, new ambulances and a new dispatch office. We got the money in to do the extras.

I know you’ve been with the department since 1974. What drew you to this position? Joel Bearman: Commissioners handle the business end of things. They maintain the trucks, buildings and equipment and that always interested me. I did serve a lot of time as part of the staff, so I was always helping them make up a budget and doing things like that.

In the 20 years you’ve served as commissioner, what are some of the challenges you’ve come across? JB: Maintaining the budget, so as to not to have to raise taxes. Deciding priorities—deciding what needs to be addressed, purchasing the apparatus—over the past 20 years, we’ve

Commissioner Candidates Chris Behrens

as you rose up through the ranks? CB: I think getting more training for the membership. People work two jobs now trying to support their families. It’s hard to retain membership. I know when I was chief, we had about 255 members. I believe we’re now down to about 210 give or take. It’s hard to retain membership.

Chris Behrens and his family moved to Levittown when he was three months old. After joining the fire department as a Junior Fire Cadet, he ascended through the ranks before becoming a captain of the department having served just over 26 years as of July.

Can you please walk me through how you worked your way up the ladder? CB: At the age of 14, I joined the Junior Fire Cadet Corps. That was after I became an Eagle Scout for the Boy Scouts. I moved onto the fire department and continued to help the community out. As a cadet, you learn how to be a firefighter, learn EMS skills and First Aid. At the age of 18, I joined Ladder Company 6, where I spent my time. I rose through the ranks from lieutenant

to captain. I was elected 3rd Deputy Chief in 2005 or 2006. I rose through the ranks to become chief of the department in 2013.

In this area of your life of public service, what are some of the challenges you came across

Why should voters elect you? CB: It’s time for a new face on the board. Some of the guys back there are great guys, but they’re going on being there 20 or 25 years. It’s time to get some fresh ideas back there.

What are some of the things you would like to see the fire department address? CB: I would definitely like more training for the membership to protect the community better. I would like to bring the ALS (Advanced Life Support) program back to Levittown for the ambulance corps. I want to try and get that back into

our department, so we can help our community and our members so we can help ourselves and not rely on outside sources.

Should you get elected, what are some of the things you’d like to see get done? CB: I would like to put a retention program in place to retain our members and maybe change things around a bit. I’d like to work on getting members. I know we have some things in place, but I think we have to work a little harder to bring more community members in to help out. Maybe go into the schools more and try to get the young kids [involved]. I know we have a college program the state started a couple of years back, but maybe we can work on that and bring more of our younger generations in to work out.

Town Of Hempstead Allocates More Than $300K To The INN

upervisor Don Clavin, along with the entire Hempstead Town Board, authorized a $305,040 relief grant to The INN (Interfaith Nutrition Network) for the reimbursement, purchase, and distribution of food items and prepared hot healthy meals (soups, meat/protein with starch and vegetables) for individuals and families who are hungry and unemployed amid the pandemic. Clavin made the announcement along with Senior Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby, Councilman Bruce Blakeman, Councilman Anthony D’Esposito, Councilman Dennis Dunne, Sr., Councilman Tom Muscarella, Councilman Chris Carini, Town Clerk Kate Murray, Receiver of Taxes Jeanine Driscoll, and The INN’s Chief Executive Officer Jean Kelly. Between March 2020 and March 2021, the Mary Brennan INN soup kitchen served a total of 239,599 nutritious meals to nearly 56,431 guests and 15,898 pantry bags of groceries were given out to families. This grant has been made possible through the federal CARES Act funding provided to the Town of Hempstead last year. Millions of dollars in CARES funding was allocated by the Town of Hempstead to provide economic aid to local organizations, nonprofits, and individuals impacted by the pandemic, including a previous $1 million grant to The INN last year to cover unbudgeted expenses incurred by the pandemic such as Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) including masks, gloves, and sanitizers to the staff, volunteers, and those who seek assistance safe. “Thank you, Senator Schumer for securing the extension of the CARES Act funding that made initiatives like this one possible as the pandemic continued into 2021,” Supervisor Clavin said. “It is our pleasure to partner once again with The INN, an organization that continues to work non-stop to meet the increase in demands of families in need. It is critical to provide families and individuals with meals as well as the peace of mind of not having to think about when the next one is going to be.” Every day, The INN receives hundreds of guests. Staff, volunteers, LVM Events, and Diane’s Desserts work together to prepare nutritious meals in volume. With the CARES Act grant, The INN will be able to purchase additional meals for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even though the organization will be

closed during the holidays, they will give out holiday meals before and send each guest home with a frozen meal to heat up those days. “We have seen a significant increase in the number of guests who need our services in the community,” Jean Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of The INN, said. “Thank you to Supervisor Clavin and the Hempstead Town Board for their overwhelming support in providing a critical service to families and individuals affected by COVID-19. We have seen the extent and severity of how this pandemic has affected the guests we serve every day, but this grant is helping us combat those effects.” —Submitted by the Town of Hempstead

Until The Last Dog Comes Home BY CHRISTY HINKO chinko@antonmediagroup.com

“What happens there is truly awful; it is like nothing you can imagine,” Jacqueline Finnegan, vice president of No Dogs Left Behind, Inc., told Anton Media Group in an interview describing the annual Yulin Dog Meat Festival in East Asia. The organization reported that dogs that are victimized by the dog meat trade suffer horrific abuse. They are beaten, bound with wire around their jaws and feet and crammed into sharp metal cages, where they endure long transports without any food or water. Although the festival began in 2009, dog meat consumption in many cultures around the world has been recorded for centuries and continues legally in Nigeria, Switzerland and Vietnam, among others nations. In 2016, Jeffrey Beri founded No Dogs Left Behind after successfully leading a historic rescue effort, which culminated in the transport of 121 Yulin slaughterhouse survivors from Asia, to their forever homes in the United States. Beri and his team spent eight months in East Asia rehabilitating, treating and socializing the dogs, developing effective shelter protocols and establishing a vaccination and microchipping program. This historic rescue accomplished what no one had ever done before: executing a full-scale rescue operation from

Hercules was rescued by the organization and is now living his best life here on Long Island. (NDLB) slaughterhouse to final transport, with the largest number of dogs that had ever been attempted, all within an eight-month period. Beri went back to the region to bring 50 more dogs out of the dog meat trade, drawing on the experience he had gained in the first rescue and implementing the same shelter protocols he had developed. Finnegan said that when the dogs are rescued, they are wounded, starved, dehydrated, sick and terrified. It takes countless hours of effort to show these survivors that they are safe and to teach them to trust humans again. No Dogs Left Behind works handson with activists through emergency response, pulling dogs directly from slaughterhouses, dog meat trucks, wet markets and traffickers. The organization’s mission extends beyond borders worldwide, advocating for the creation and enforcement of animal

welfare laws and raising awareness for a cruelty-free, sustainable world in which no animal is violated, exploited, tortured or slaughtered for commercial goods or profit. With nearly 500 survivors in the organization’s care, No Dogs Left Behind operates sanctuaries in Dayi and Gongyi. In these safe-havens, these once victimized and exploited dogs receive medical care, nutritional support and rehabilitation on an ongoing basis. In July, the U.S. suspended the importation of dogs. The organization had to divert its “Freedom Flights” to Toronto temporarily until the United States lifts its ban. “International pressure has helped because we’ve seen Indonesia and also South Korea have both taken a stance against the consumption of dog meat; that’s huge, but there are so many more countries and they have taken the position, but they have not enacted laws yet,” Finnegan said. “The pressure will always comes with the dollars. How people spend their money helps move the needle one way or another.” On Dec. 16, No Dogs Left Behind is hosting Raise the Woof, a comedy show awareness fundraiser at Governor’s Comedy Club (Levittown), at 8 p.m. Tickets are $50. Show is for guests, ages 16 and older, two-drink minimum purchase required. Visit www.nodogsleftbehind.com for more.

Village Provides Update On Lead Found In Water The Village of Garden City was recently notified of a high lead level in the domestic water supply sample at a home in Garden City. The village contacted the county Health Department for information and any guidance, and simultaneously conducted tests for lead at each of its active well sites where the treated water enters the village-wide distribution system. Those tests came back “non-detect” for lead and the results were shared with the health department. Preliminary results indicate that the home in question has a lead service line connection to the village water main. The village is awaiting a final report from the Health Department’s investigation and any recommendations that may be forthcoming. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), lead can enter drinking water when plumbing materials that contain lead corrode, especially where the water has high acidity or low mineral content that corrodes pipes and fixtures. The most common sources of lead in drinking water are lead pipes, faucets, and fixtures. In homes with lead pipes that connect the home to the water main, also known as lead service

lines, these pipes are typically the most significant source of lead in the water. Among homes without lead service lines, the most common problem is with brass or chrome-plated brass faucets and plumbing with lead solder. The village immediately conducted tests for lead at each of its active well sites where the treated water enters the village-wide distribution system. Those tests came back “non-detect” for lead and were forwarded to the Health Department. H2M, the village’s water consultants, is evaluating the effectiveness of corrosion control treatment throughout the village. The village has conducted all required lead and copper compliance mandates as required under the Federal Lead and Copper Rule, including the most recent sampling conducted in 2020, and was found to be in compliance. The village is aggressively monitoring the water supply and is in regular communication with the Health Department during its investigation. We will remain vigilant and provide updates as more information becomes available. Residents can immediately request free lead testing kits through the New York State Department of Health. Email

FreeWaterTesting@health.ny.gov and provide the following information: Your name; your phone number; your e-mail address; address for sample location and address for mailing test kit, if different; county for sample location; first choice for participating laboratory selected from the list below; and second choice for participating laboratory selected from the list below. You should be aware that the results of these samples are not made available to the village. If you wish, you can forward a copy of the results to the village Water Department, but it is not a requirement of your participation in the state Department of Health program.

Apartment Project Earns IDA Benefits BY ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF editorial@antonmediagroup.com

n Nov. 18, the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency (NCIDA) approved financial incentives for a 72-unit, $24 million project at 461 Railroad Ave. in Westbury. Developer Terwilliger & Bartone Properties LLC’s sought the payments in lieu of taxes (PILOT) and other tax abatements after earning approval by the Village of Westbury for its project. roughly 1,000 feet from the Westbury train station. Ten of the units will be set aside for lower than market rents. The developer will demolish an existing produce distribution warehouse to erect a 60,548 square-foot, four-story building that is expected to generate approximately 70 construction jobs and two full-time equivalent jobs within one year of the project’s completion. A press release noted that “thanks to the NCIDA’s assistance, the property will generate nearly $8.9 million in tax revenue as opposed to the $2.8 million expected to be generated without the project.” The apartments are the first to take advantage of the new transit-oriented development (TOD) zoning approved by the village in December 2019 to transform approximately 50 acres surrounding the railroad station. By terms of the agreement, IDA granted tax breaks of about $818,000 on the purchase of construction materials and equipment, and more than $137,000 in mortgage recording tax. “The village is pleased that the very first project under out new TOD zone is ready to break ground,” said Westbury Mayor Peter Cavallaro. “We negotiated a PILOT with the developer that is much less favorable to the developer and more favorable to the village, school district and community. The project will greatly upgrade a part of the village that is in need of improvement, and will provide additional housing options close to downtown that will increase our tax base and help our downtown thrive.”

IDA Hearing

Daniel P. Deegan is the attorney representing the developer. In a Nov. 15 hearing before the IDA at Westbury Village Hall, he said, “The applicant has worked very closely with the village to get approval for the project consistent with the village’s zoning code and their vision for this area of the village. We also worked very closely with the IDA in order to obtain financial assistance that is necessary

Without the IDA’s assistance, a project like this is not financially feasible.” IDA CEO/Executive Director Harry Coghlan said that Rich Kessel, the board chair, had reached out to Westbury Mayor Peter Cavallaro, North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth, Nassau County Legislator Siela Bynoe (D–Westbury) and Westbury School District Superintendent Dr. Tahira Chase. Westbury School Board of Education President Robert Troiano, recently elected to represent Westbury and the surrounding area in the North Hempstead council, had served on the council in the past and related that the IDA’s help was crucial in aiding the New Cassel renovation project as well as the $26 million “Yes We Can” Community Center in the hamlet. Troiano told Anton Media Group that the district asked the IDA for more time to study the figures, and said, “On the merits of that financial analysis, we gave our support to this project.” He noted that even if the developer’s consultant’s estimate of six school-age children the project would generate was doubled, the district could easily absorb them. In addition, under the 20 years covered by the PILOT, the district would receive about $6 million in tax payments. In that same period, the current property would pay about $1.5 million. The developer will pay about $102,700 in total taxes the first two years as the project takes place, matching the amount that the current property is paying. According to county records, it paid $62,461 in school

and library taxes in 2020-21. County, town and special district taxes totaled $30,800 in 2021. Bartone stated that the warehouse pays $9,647 in village taxes.

He estimated that this figure will rise to $52,403 once the apartment is done. The PILOT payments start in year three, after the project is completed.

This event was inspired by the book “Balloons Over Broadway,” which was read by all the fifth grade classes.

The fifth grade students researched and created their very own balloons and commentary after learning about Tony Sarg, the mastermind behind the helium balloons. The balloons have become Macy’s trademark on Thanksgiving Day and have given America a long-lasting gift. Thanks to Tony, Rushmore has found a new tradition to add to its yearly festivities. —Submitted by the Carle Place School District

friends at the New York Islanders to help celebrate the Guide Dog Foundation’s 75th anniversary,” John Miller, president and CEO, Guide Dog Foundation said. “The partnership is outstanding. Ownership, coaches, the team and fans, all have embraced the program and we couldn’t be any happier to continue this life changing program with the team.” Monte is the third dog the Islanders have partnered with the Smithtown-based organization to raise and train. In June, the Islanders and America’s VetDogs, sister organization to the Guide Dog Foundation, placed service dog-in-training, Tori, with retired U.S. Navy veteran and FDNY Lieutenant Chris Roberto. The Islanders’ first dog, Radar, was successfully placed as a guide dog in August 2020 with gold medalist Paralympian swimmer and Long Island native Anastasia Pagonis. It costs more than $50,000 to breed, raise, train and place one assistance dog; however, all of the VetDogs’ services are provided at no charge to the individual. Funding comes from the generosity of individuals, corporations and service and fraternal clubs.

MEET PUPPY RAISER LISA ROSSANO When not volunteering her time with America’s VetDogs and the Guide Dog Foundation, Monte’s puppy raiser Lisa Rossano, keeps busy with her two sons, and husband of 34 years Ernie. Rossano started volunteering at the Guide Dog Foundation 15 years ago when her boys were volunteering their time running and playing with the dogs in the kennel on weekends. Prior to taking on this experience, Rossano volunteered in the nursery socializing newborn puppies, is a member of the speaker’s bureau and adoption team, and is an area coordinator for Long Island puppy raisers. The first dog Rossano and her family raised was Toby. That experience has since led the family to raise 10 dogs, with Monte making it 11. Six of their dogs have been placed with veterans and or visually impaired clients. Rossano and her family currently have four dogs at home; Guide Dog breeder Mikey, two released dogs, Bliss and Olympia and of course little Tori. “I think raising the Islander puppy with a purpose for the Guide Dog Foundation is going to be my best adventure and a great privilege and honor,” Rossano said.

SAD: Seasonal Affective Disorder

More than a case of the winter blues

inter invokes happy memories of watching holiday movies and building snow forts for some, but for others, the season can create added mental health woes. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of depression that typically surfaces during the fall and winter, can wreak havoc on sufferers’ overall well-being. This rings especially true against the backdrop of a global pandemic, when many already feel emotionally fatigued from being cooped up in their homes. “The symptoms of seasonal depression vary from person to person. Some may have difficulty concentrating and feel exceedingly anxious, stressed or sad. Others may isolate themselves and stop participating in activities that once brought them joy,” said Lisa Westerson, LCSW, director of residential services at Mountainside Treatment Center with facilities in Huntington, Manhattan, Chappaqua, Connecticut and New Jersey. “For those who struggle with seasonal depression, these symptoms will typically diminish during the warmer months when the sun is out and the days are longer.” In addition to a general lack of light

Light box therpy eases the winter blues. and shorter days during the colder months, the onset of SAD—a more intense form of the “winter blues”—can be largely attributed to an individual’s genetics and stress levels. Another risk factor is major depressive disorder, with the National Library of Medicine noting that 10 to 20 percent of those who struggle with this disease also experience SAD. Some research, such as a 2017 study in psychiatry research, likewise points to an overlap between seasonal depression and alcohol use disorder, though drawing a definitive correlation

between the two remains difficult. “Because stress can weaken the immune system, sufferers may find themselves feeling physically ill,” Westerson said, “Other physical signs of seasonal depression can include wanting to stay in bed or overeating— by reaching for sweets or carbohydrate-rich foods in particular. People struggling with seasonal depression often have low serotonin levels and therefore crave carbs because they contribute to the production of serotonin, which elevates mood.” Establishing healthy coping

mechanisms for handling seasonal depression is especially dire during the COVID-19 era. While having a strong immune system is top of mind for many, maintaining wellness can prove challenging in the face of unprecedented stress. In adjusting to a “new normal,” individuals can still pursue teletherapy and should prioritize maintaining a routine consisting of regular sleep, exercise and mindful eating. “Treating both the body and the mind is critical for managing symptoms of seasonal depression,” Westerson said. “One can start by consulting a mental health professional, trying light box therapy and eating healthier foods.” Visit www.mountainside.com/ beat-holiday-stress to register for Mountainside’s free, virtual holiday season workshop for tips on coping with mental health concerns during the winter holidays.

Single Source Exposed Thousands To Hepatitis

ultiple news agencies recently reported that in early November, a New Jersey Starbucks employee who handled food tested positive for hepatitis A and may have exposed thousands of customers to the virus. In October of this year, a hepatitis A outbreak was reported in three restaurants in Roanoke, VA. Fifty people were diagnosed with the viral infection and three died. The source of the infections was an infected employee who worked at all three restaurants yet was without symptoms. So far this year in New York state, excluding New York City, there have been more than 500 reported cases and more than 300 of these cases required hospitalization. Hepatitis A is the most common cause of acute viral hepatitis in the United States. It is caused by a virus that infects and can damage the liver. Anyone, regardless of age, who has not been previously infected or who has not been vaccinated against hepatitis A can become infected and ill from the hepatitis A. The older you are, the sicker you can become. The hepatitis A virus enters the body through the mouth and is passed through the stool. It can be

carried on an infected person’s hands and spread through direct or indirect contact. For example, eating food that was prepared or transported by an infected individual. This is the reason restaurant food handlers are frequent vectors of disease transmission. In some cases, it can be spread by sexual contact, usually rectal contact or by consuming contaminated water or food (e.g., raw shellfish, fruits, vegetables). New York City has seen a significant increase in cases of hepatitis A among bisexual or men who have sex with men. People with hepatitis A usually complain of fatigue, poor appetite, fever and nausea. Less commonly, vomiting and abdominal cramping can occur. Urine may darken followed

by yellowing of the eyes and jaundice may appear. The symptoms usually present 15 to 50 days after exposure; most often, the symptoms appear within four weeks. Most people recover in a few weeks without any complications. Infants and young children tend to have very mild symptoms and are less likely to develop jaundice than are older children and adults. Infected adults are at higher risk of severe infection and either not surviving or needing an emergent liver transplant. There are no special medicines, antibiotics or over-the-counter therapies that treat hepatitis A. Health care providers will usually recommend rest, good nutrition, fluids and treatment of symptoms. Infected people should avoid alcohol and medications that can harm the liver such as acetaminophen. Some people might need to be hospitalized for the illness, mostly for the inability to eat or the development of easy bruising or confusion. The good news is that once an individual has recovered from hepatitis A, he/ she cannot get it again and poses no health risk to others. Hepatitis A can be prevented with careful hand washing after using the toilet, changing diapers or before

eating or preparing food. People should avoid eating raw shellfish taken from potentially contaminated waters. Infected people should not handle foods during the contagious period. Hepatitis A is preventable by obtaining a vaccine. Hepatitis A outbreaks continue to occur fairly frequently across the country, the majority of which are caused by an infected food handler in a restaurant. The hepatitis A vaccine is recommended for children, travelers to certain high-risk regions such the Caribbean, Central and South America, Africa, Eastern Europe, and parts of Asia and for people at high risk of getting infected with the virus. I would encourage anyone who has previously been infected with hepatitis A and who has not vaccinated against this virus, to go out and get vaccinated. The vaccine consists of two injections given six months apart and are readily available from many health care providers and pharmacies. David Bernstein, MD, FAASLD,FACG, AGAF, FACP is the vice chair of medicine for clinical trials and chief of hepatology at Sandra Atlas Bass Center for Liver Diseases. He is a professor of medicine and education.

Ed Krinsky Dies; Taught, Coached At Westbury BY ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF editorial@antonmediagroup.com

dward Malcolm Krinsky’s death made headlines beyond the region because he was the basketball maven who rescued Anthony Mason from an obscure minor league career to enjoy glory years with Pat Riley’s New York Knicks in the 1990s. Much more impactful were the 35 years he spent as a teacher, coach and guidance counselor at Westbury High School, influencing countless lives. Krinsky (Feb. 22, 1933–Oct. 28, 2021) was recalled by those contacted by Anton Media Group. Dave Graff, retired teacher and former boys varsity basketball coach at Westbury, said, “When I first got to Westbury in 1987 Ed was the director of guidance. He was also as respected a person in basketball as there was in the game. Ed coached at Westbury HS for many years. He also initiated and ran the United States Basketball League (USBL). It included semipro players like Anthony Mason of the Knicks. Many coaches, including myself, would seek out Ed for talks about coaching and basketball and he was always willing to share his knowledge. Ed stayed in the game well into his senior years, becoming an assistant coach at SUNY Westbury. Ed was a role model for many of us younger coaches and will be missed.” Westbury School District Director of Athletics Doric Capsis said, “Ed came back to spend time visiting with the boys team in 2010 when we made the run to New York State semifinal, winning the Nassau and Long Island boys basketball championship along the way. That is when I got to know him a bit. I enjoyed that.” Lenore Walsh, director of athletics, SUNY Old Westbury, said in an email: “Ed brought a lifetime of basketball experience to our campus and was invaluable in helping our students grow athletically, academically and personally. From the stories he told on long bus trips to the quick, direct instructions he would give in practice or during games, were educational for not only the students he coached but for all of us, coaches and administrators alike, who got to spend time with him. His impact on our entire program, and on the students and alumni he worked so closely with, has created a legacy within Panther Athletics that we will be proud to continue.” According to his bio on the SUNY

U.S. Army, he returned to Harvard and earned his Master of Arts in Teaching from the Graduate School of Education. While there, he coached the Harvard JV basketball team and the MIT freshman baseball team. Krinsky started his 35-year career at Westbury HS in 1957, teaching history and serving as the director of Guidance. According to his obit, “he took particular pleasure in helping students get into college and other post-graduate programs and in seeing them thrive. He kept in touch with former students for decades.” In 1980, at the Maccabiah Games in Israel, Krinsky was the assistant coach of the American team which won the gold medal.

Successful Thanksgiving Food Drive Carle Place’s Cherry Lane Elementary School students took action and participated in an Adopt-A-Family Food Drive as a way to support families in the community during Thanksgiving.

These donations were on display throughout the month of November and were donated to families in need.

Suburbia Gone Wild Alright, Long Island is unique. We have a great history, the Atlantic shoreline, beautiful parks, museums and fantastic wineries. But Long Island is also the mirror image of dozens of suburban areas around the country. Landscapes dotted with patches of strip malls all containing the same stores. On a cross-country trip you wouldn’t know if you’re in Iowa or New York. Common to all suburban sprawl is people working brutal hours just to empty their wallets on mortgage payments, exorbitant school taxes, landscapers and watering systems in an attempt to keep up with their neighbor’s perfectly

Most of the remaining drivers witnessing this outrage have adapted ways of getting back at them. The most popular method is also the easiest; we speed up and at the appropriate time flip them the middle finger. The more aggressive seek revenge by catching up with the ugly aggressor and sitting on their tail. As if that will do anything.

MTA Forecast Of $15 Billion In Congestion Pricing Revenue Continues To Be In Jeopardy Earlier this year, the Federal Highway Administration instructed the MTA to develop and submit an Environmental Assessment (EA), rather than a more detailed and time consuming Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). It was never a cause for celebration. There is still much to do and other unanswered questions. Since November 2019, former Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio delayed announcing their appointments to the MTA Traffic Mobility Review Board. Mayor de Blasio finally got around to fill his one seat in July 2021. When will Governor Kathy Hochul fill her five seats? Under Cuomo, and now Hochul, it is two years overdue. Details of who will pay what can never be resolved until this board is established and completes its mission. It was previously announced that they will be meeting behind closed doors. This is inconsistent with both Cuomo’s and de Blasio’s promises of open transparent administrations under their watch. Will Hochul and Mayor-elect Eric Adams reverse this? Tolling pricing recommendations were originally promised to be made public by November 2020. This process is politically sensitive. The MTA has admitted that any congestion pricing may not kick in until January 2023. We now have learned that even this date may not hold. If these

vacancies continue to remain and the environmental review process takes even longer, the MTA will miss the revised forecasted January 2023 start date for Congestion Price Tolling. This was supposed to have raised $15 of the $51 billion MTA 2020-24 Five Year Capital Plan. The MTA earlier this year stated that they need 16 months rather than four months as previously announced just to complete the federal NEPA environmental review process. Final details of who will pay still need to be established. Elected officials will lobby for discounts or exemptions for police, fire, teachers, low income, outer borough residency, seniors, physically disabled, small commercial delivery businesses, users of electric vehicles or other special niches. These discounts or exemptions will be adopted to placate the constituents of elected officials running for reelection in 2022. You can’t capture five years of toll revenues estimated to be $1 billion per year (leveraged to raise $15 billion in support

MTA’s $51 billion 2020-24 five year capital plan) when you implement the program three years or more after 2020. This late start for implementation, downturn in the economy, more people telecommuting full and part time along with a series of discounts and exemptions to tolls will result in billions of lost anticipated revenue. Just how will the MTA bridge a future funding shortfall of up to $15 billion within the previously approved $51 billion 2020-24 Five Year Capital Program? Like it or not, sooner or later some difficult decisions will have to be made by MTA Chairman Janno Lieber and MTA Board members. MTA budgeted $6.9 billion for Second Avenue Subway Phase Two. This project benefits a handful of the preCOVID-19 5 million daily transit riders. There is also $1.5 billion for the Bronx East Metro North Access to Penn Station. Both projects need to be postponed until the next MTA 202529 Five Year Capital Program. Preservation of safety and state of good repair projects are a higher priority than any new system expansion projects. End both the MTA “Arts in Transit” one percent expenditure requirement for capital projects and Cuomo’s “New York Buy America Act.” Lobby the New York Congressional delegation for more reasonable federal Buy America requirements. This impacts the ability of MTA to get the

best return when spending $1.5 billion in annual grant funding from the Federal Transit Administration. Stop wasting several hundred millions on outside consultants. Use available inhouse resources to do the same work. Go after deadbeat riders who refuse to pay their fare. In pre-COVID-19 2019, they contributed to $300 million in lost revenue. Even in COVID-19 times, there is still similar significant revenue losses. Limit employee overtime to legitimate needs such as additional cleaning and maintenance due to the unexpected impacts of COVID-19 and dealing with malfunctioning equipment, accidents or adverse weather conditions when attempting to restore service.

The whole “dogs of war” phrase intrigued me, especially where it related to a Shakespearean-quoting villain with excellent diction. Why was Plummer chosen?

It turns out that when the screenplay was written, Patty Servidio The Wrath of Khan director Nicholas Meyer was a huge Hubby and I have been Shakespeare buff.

wear the traditional Klingon long-haired wig because it “looked phony” and Meyer championed him. Plummer’s General Chang was bald, precise and had perfectly clipped speech. It was a perfectly delicious role and he played it with gusto. Plummer and Shatner were friendly rivals back in the 1950s, when Shatner was understudy for Plummer in a Stratford Shakespeare Festival production of Henry V. Plummer, who was out one night due to illness, had to miss the performance. Shatner stepped up to fill in. Not only did Shatner rise to the challenge, but he also completely upstaged Plummer’s performance. William Shatner was destined, from that moment, for greatness. Of special note is that both Plummer and Shatner are Canadian actors. William Shatner is not only an accomplished actor, writer and “musician” via several spoken lyric albums, but he is involved with the American Tinnitus Association, a

William Shatner recently made history as the oldest person to enter space, all thanks to Blue Origin, LLC and their New Shepard spacecraft. Although the launch lasted approximately 10 minutes, the nonagenarian who is best known for his portrayal of James Tiberius Kirk in the original Star Trek series was moved to tears. “It’s extraordinary,” Shatner told Jeff Bezos upon landing. “I hope I never recover, that I can maintain what I feel now.” It’s one of those capstone moments in a person’s life that is truly tough to forget. An acquaintance of mine posted a picture of his meatballs on the day of the launch in what I can only assume is a tribute to Shatner. His quotation was a play on words uttered by Christopher Plummer’s General Chang in the 1991 film, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country: “Cry havoc and let slip the meatballs of war.” Of course, the items of war from the Shakespearean play Julius Caesar were dogs.

Opting In Or Out–That Is The Question A friend of mine, let’s call him Steve, has illegally gotten pot ever since he was a kid. Now in his 60s, there’s a good possibility that he can walk into a store in New York and buy it legally soon. There are a lot of people like Steve out there. “Oh man, I can’t imagine what it’s gonna be like,” Steve said while discussing legal purchasing. “I’ve been doing it underground for so long, I’ll probably still be looking over my shoulder on my way out, even though I’ll have a receipt.” New York State is hoping there are many Steves out there needing a lot of those receipts. The politicians are estimating pot sales will reach $3.2 billion a year. Of course, they are more interested in the 13 percent tax revenue that will be generated. Still, that’s a lot of legal hooch. Steve read about the law that took effect in April 2021,

I can’t imagine where I would even put 80 bags in my house.” Individual counties, villages, and towns that sell the legal pot will share 4 percent of the 13 percent tax revenue as part of their local taxes. Yet, some places on Long Island are deciding not to allow the sale and usage of pot. “They must be crazy,” Steve Paul DiSclafani pdisco23@aol.com said, “Don’t they know their residents will just go to the next town allowing New York State resito buy weed? I’ve gone all the way dents over 21 to legally possess to The Bronx when I had to.” and consume marijuana.

That’s can possess up to five pounds the deadline for the State in your home or on your Legislature to adopt regulations property (that’s 80 ounces). for the usage and distribution “I don’t know about you,” of cannabis to the public. Since Steve said, “but I’ve never even no one knows what those seen three ounces of weed in one regulations may look like, local

authorities have the option to “opt-out” of allowing the sale and usage of cannabis in their villages or towns. But there’s a catch–if you don’t opt-out by the end of 2021, you can never opt-out. However, if you do decide to opt-out, you can opt back in at any time. If a town decides to opt-out, pot smokers will undoubtedly spend their money at the “Cannabis Café” in the next town. “I know I will, man,” said Steve. “Then, I’ll head across the street to McDonald’s or 7-11 for munch items before I head home to watch Netflix.” Like cigarettes, you can only smoke weed in designated smoking areas, like outside next to the nearest dumpster. Unlike cigarettes, you can’t smoke cannabis in your car. You can possess it in your vehicle, but don’t drive across state lines because that is illegal. Maybe it seems prudent for

towns and villages to opt-out before the end of the year so they can wait for the regulations to be finalized and make an informed decision. However, towns and municipalities that are preparing to hit the ground running next September will have a financial advantage over those that did not. Once people start developing their purchasing habits, it may take a while for them to change. But will the lure of legal weed end the clandestine nature of purchasing pot for long-time users? “I’ve had a relationship with my guy for years,” said Steve. “I’m not sure that I’ll ever not have that relationship. But I’m kind of looking forward to buying gummy bears, man.” With or without a receipt. —Paul DiSclafani’s new book, A View From The Bench, is a collection of his favorite Long Island Living columns.

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the town board celebrated the town being recognized as a “Tree City USA” by the Arbor Day Foundation. This is the tenth year that the Town has received the designation of “Tree City USA.” This designation is given out to towns and cities that have a viable tree management plan and program. In order to be eligible to be recognized as a “Tree City USA” community, certain requirements must be met such as having a Tree Board or Department, having a Tree Care Ordinance, having a Community Forestry Program and the observance of Arbor Day. The “Tree City USA” program

was created by the Arbor Day Foundation, which is the nation’s leading community forestry program that provides a foundation for effective and well-organized community tree care. It is also facilitated in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. This program provides direction, technical assistance, public attention, and national recognition for urban and community forestry programs in thousands of towns and cities that more than 93 million Americans call home. —Submitted by the Town of North Hempstead Legislator Arnold W.

On Small Business Saturday, which fell on Nov. 27 this year, Nassau County Legislator Arnold W. Drucker (D - Plainview) joined well-wishers and his colleagues to celebrate the grand opening of Theodore’s Books in downtown Oyster Bay. The proprietor of the brand-new bookstore is former U.S. Congressman Steve Israel—an avowed bibliophile and fan of Theodore Roosevelt who named the bookstore in honor of the former President and Oyster Bay resident. TR’s nearby Sagamore Hill estate was known as the “Summer White House” during his administration.

“Establishments like Theodore’s Books give Nassau County’s downtown business districts their unique charm and flair,” Drucker said. “By calling upon two of his life’s great passions, Steve Israel has added a new dimension to the Oyster Bay business community and enriched its standing as a destination for commerce. I wish him all the best on this exciting new venture and urge everyone to support small businesses throughout the holiday season and in the new year to come.” —Submitted by the Office of Legislator Arnold W.

Reading To Rudy At James H. Vernon Rudy the therapy dog is making his rounds at Vernon and helping students in the process. Fifth grade classes who won the school’s summer reading contest earned the opportunity to visit with Rudy during library. Mr. Kiamos’ fifth grade class won the summer reading contest with a collective 10,042 reading minutes. Students first learned about Rudy’s life, including how he became a therapy dog and the many ways he helps others. Then, they went over some tips to keep Rudy comfortable during their visit. The fifth graders broke off into small groups to spend some more time with Rudy. They asked questions about his life outside of work and even had the chance to read books out loud to him.

Seaford Student Food Drive A Success Yet Again Thanksgiving is a holiday steeped in tradition, and at Seaford High School, that tradition is a food drive that supports the local community. Thanks to the efforts of student government, 25 families received complete Thanksgiving meals this year. Nonperishable food items were collected throughout November at the high school, Seaford Middle School and Seaford Harbor Elementary School. Several local businesses also made donations. All of the food was delivered to the student council office to be sorted and bagged. High school students and staff also contributed money for supermarket gift cards for perishable items. Student government, under the

direction of advisers Tania Cintorino and Shari Raduazzo, has been holding the Thanksgiving food drive for more than two decades. Food goes to families in Seaford, with leftover items going to local food pantries. “It just feels really great to give back to my community and see the abundance of food that was donated,” student government officer Taylor DiFondi said. “That’s why I love student council, because we help our community so much.” The student council at Seaford Manor Elementary School held its own food drive, with donations going to Island Harvest. —Submitted by the Seaford School District

Doris Z. Valenta Doris Z. Valenta, of Madison, NJ, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 29, 2021, at Morristown Medical Center. She was 93. Doris was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY on April 23, 1928, to the late Frank and Marion Zero. She was the youngest of her two siblings, Anthony and Domenick. After graduating from Bay Ridge High School, Doris was accepted to the City College of New York where she majored in accounting. As one of very few women in her class, she excelled in college both academically and socially. She was elected president of the Newman Club, a Catholic organization on campus where Doris first met her husband of 66 years, Louis Valenta (Lou). The couple were engaged at their senior prom and married in January of 1951. Upon graduation from CCNY, Doris accepted a position with Pan American Airlines, while Lou pursued a career in advertising and sales. Both career paths afforded and instilled in them their lifelong love of world travel and family vacations. Doris and Lou spent their first years together in Sunnyside, Queens. Then in 1959, they settled in Glen Cove, Long Island where they welcomed three children, Louis, Victoria, and David. Doris put her career on hold while her children were young. She was a wonderful, loving mother, involved in all aspects of their lives as well as many community activities. Doris was also an active parishioner in St. Patrick’s Church in Glen Cove and had a strong faith, which she instilled in her children. Doris enjoyed golfing, bowling, and playing bridge with the women’s social league of Glen Cove, where she forged many lifelong friendships. Doris and Lou had many dear friends and enjoyed an active social life. Doris loved to sing and dance and enjoyed planning a good theme party for the “group” as she fondly referred to them. In 1975 Doris returned to her formal career in accounting when she accepted a position at Flower City Architectural Metals in Sea Cliff, Long Island, where she worked her way up to Assistant Controller. She retired in 1998 to begin the next chapter of her life as a full-time grandmother. Doris was delighted with her new role and treasured the time she spent with her six granddaughters. She and Lou also continued their occasional trips, domestic and abroad, visiting family and friends and throughout retirement. Shortly after the passing of her beloved husband Lou, Doris moved to Madison, NJ in 2019 to be closer to her children and grandchildren. In addition to her parents, Doris was predeceased by her husband, Louis Valenta, Sr.; her brothers, Anthony and Domenick Zero; and her son-in-law, Robert Burger. She is survived by her children, Louis (Maria) Valenta, Victoria Burger; and David (Sun Ju) Valenta; cherished granddaughters, Alexandra, Noelle, Adrianna, Elizabeth, Jenna, and Ava; her sister-in-law Marie Zero as well as many loving nieces and nephews. Relatives and friends attended a memorial Liturgy of Christian Burial to celebrate Doris’ life on December 4, 2021, at St. Vincent Martyr Church, 26 Green Village Road, Madison. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to the Madison Memorial Home. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that charitable contributions be made in Doris’ memory to the ASPCA. www.ASPCA.org

Alfred Zeff

Al and Doris moved to Glen Cove in 1958 where they lived together in the same house for 56 years and where Al continued to live after her death with his son Robert. His work with the

New York City taxicab industry evolved into ownership of the ITOC News, the trade publication read by every independent taxi owner driver in New York. His involvement in establishing a credit union which allowed many in the industry realize the dream of purchasing their own medallion - thus becoming their own boss - was something that gave him great pride. Al was even prouder to be involved in his beloved hometown from the time he moved here, and as Congressman Tom Suozzi said upon meeting Al’s grandson Nathaniel recently, “Everyone in Glen Cove knew Al Zeff.” Al’s community activism saw him serve as communications strategist for two mayors, Andrew DiPaola and Vincent (Jimmy) Suozzi, as editor of the Record Pilot, and in leadership roles with the Roxbury Community Association, Glen Cove High School Athletic Boosters Association and Glen Cove Junior Baseball. Al coached many Glen Cove youth baseball, football and CYO basketball teams during the 1960’s and 1970’s and was a fixture at Glen Cove City Stadium and ardent supporter of Glen Cove High School teams for many years. In more recent years, Al traveled the country watching his grandsons compete and continuing to coach them from the sidelines. A memorial service will be announced at a later date.

Alfred Zeff, beloved husband of the late Doris Zeff, loving father of Richard (Leslie) and Robert, devoted grandfather of Harrison (Kristen) and Nathaniel passed away Monday, November 29, 2021 at the age of 93. He is also survived by nieces Gail Liner (Robert) and Karen Cracco (Ben), nephew Mark Hirsch (Rosalie) and Eric Hermansen (Sunni) and many grandnieces and nephews. Al was born in the Bronx in 1928 in the shadow of Yankee Stadium, and in the ensuing 90 plus years was an avid Yankee fan cheering on every new generation of Yankee star from Babe Ruth to Aaron Judge. He graduated from LIU in 1950 with a degree in journalism after having served as the school’s sports editor during the golden era of LIU basketball. Upon graduation, Al immediately was called to service in the Army and served proudly during the Korean War. Eager to begin his journalism career, Al was honorably discharged in 1952, and his career quickly took him to trade publications serving the New York City taxicab industry. It was at this time that Al met Doris in the NY City Public Library. His very clever pick up line led to a wonderful marriage of 60 years until Doris passed away in 2014.

Amy J. Lentz, born on a sunny June 11th, in the year of her choosing, peacefully slipped away into the hands of God on November 26th 2021, after a brief illness. Amy was surrounded by the love of her family, under home hospice care. Amy was the center of her family. Always smiling and vibrant, her heart was as beautiful as her spirit. But nowhere was Amy more beloved than by her husband of 66 years, Larry. He was the young soldier who stole the heart of the beautiful Amy Buonaguro in the yellow tea rose dress. The rest was history. Amy is survived by her husband Lawrence and her four precious children and their spouses: Karen Magovern & Bob Wilsusen of Manhasset, NY, Greg & Gretchen Lentz of Greer South Carolina, Cindy & Jonathan Wallace of Guilford, CT, Jodi & Terrence Crimmins of Natick, MA. Adored grandmother of Maggie & Adam Szmidt , John & Katie Magovern, Laura & Eric Hynes, Rachel & Andrew Lentz, Justin, Connor & Austin Wallace, Ian & Harper Crimmins. Incredible great-grandmother to Hannah May & Lily Jane Szmidt, Evelyn Grace & John Christopher Magovern and to many more to come. Holding a special place in her heart for the love and kindness of Sophia Kelleher, Jaime Conway and Erica Vicino. Amy left her successful career as an executive secretary with MONY in Manhattan to start her family with Larry. Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in Maspeth, Queens, Amy & Larry ventured out to Old Bethpage, Long Island in 1957 to raise their family, embracing the suburban boom. Amy & Larry fostered the family’s strong ties to St Pius X in Plainview and participated in The Rosary Society. Amy embarked upon a creative artistic outlet in oil & watercolor painting. Her inspiration was nurtured by her instructor & dear friend, the late Barbara Sugarman of Great Neck, NY. Amy continued her love of the arts throughout her life. Ultimately, Amy and Larry relocated to Guilford, CT in 1979. Her passion for art continued by attending the Shoreline School of the Arts & Music in Branford and volunteering at The Guilford Arts Center. Amy was a communicant of St George Church in Guilford, CT. Amy’s passions included traveling, antiquing, trips to Mohegan Sun, and hosting parties for family, friends, and neighbors. Amy naturally connected with people in a sincere and heartfelt way. A dedicated“Shop Local”supporter before it was trendy. Amy appreciated each individual’s contribution to their business and understood the importance of community. In her final act of mothering, Amy eased our pain with wisdom and kind words, bravely laying out support for our path forward. Her selfless love will see us through. Special thanks to those who cared for Amy during her final weeks; the caregivers at The Guilford House, the incredible staff at Saint Raphael’s ER & MICU, Susie, Claire & Cathi, and VNA Hospice nurses Lori and Angela. Thank you for caring for mom with kindness, grace and love.

Adele Constance Fullam

Adele Constance Fullam, 92, died peacefully on November 30 and in her last days was surrounded by loving family members. Adele was born and raised in Flushing, Queens. 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 five grandchildren who were her greatest treasures: Patrick, Ryan, 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/ 228472 M

HICKSVILLE LEGAL NOTICE Synopsis of Findings and Determinations Pursuant to EDPL Section 204 PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, the Town Board of the Town

LEGAL NOTICES

of Oyster Bay, by Resolution No. 678 -2021, adopted November 16, 2021, made findings and determinations supporting and authorizing necessary steps to be taken to acquire certain property, through condemnation, in the unincorporated area of Hicksville for public use. The location for the proposed project is the property commonly known as an approximately one-half (0.5) acre of real property known as N/E/C/ West Barclay Street & Wyckoff Street, Hicksville, New York (a/k/a 47 West Barclay Street), and designated as Section 11, Block 185, Lots 2 & 8 on the Land and Tax Map of Nassau County (“subject property”). The public use, benefit or purpose to be served by the acquisition for continuing use as s commuter parking lot, will ensure that the public continues to have ample access to commuter parking within the Town of Oyster Bay. Specifically, the acquisition will provide much needed parking for resident commuting purposes, and the parking lot will offer Town residents with additional parking options. 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.

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). No matter how well you plan things, it’s when they veer off-plan that things get interesting. This is what makes a creation singular. The unpredictable error; the striving for an unachievable aim; the childlike hope woven into a failed attempt. This elevates the work to a level of art that is human and relatable. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The destination you seek is not a place but a state of mind. Still, there’s a longitude and latitude marker for where it happens. Take an objective look at rooms you inhabit. It will be easier to achieve your aims in the environment that supports them. How can you adapt the environment to better suit you?

Sunshine Coast Solution: 29 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The way you live gives something to others without you even realizing it. Following your interests, maintaining a cheerful tone, carrying a mood with you that’s easy to be around, living by your own principles... these behaviors inspire. They are perspective-broadening advice you give without saying a word. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The unacceptable thing will also be the truest. Most will overlook, dismiss or reject it on its face. Take a look. It gives you the advantage. Without the drama of being offended or astonished, you can use information to understand the full scope of a situation. You’ll see what’s useful. You’ll land on solutions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Making connections is a little trickier than it looks. People like to earn acceptance. They will be skeptical when it’s given too readily. There’s an art to letting people know you like them. It’s easier to do indirectly and through a general tone. Trust is built through a consistent rhythm; it takes time to establish. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The experience of being you is often packaged in a swirl of thoughts that whisper and shout and are helpful and unhelpful, aligned and chaotic. The week brings experiences to calm and harmonize the swirl. Being physically active will be a huge contributor to your most enjoyable and productive moments. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s not fair to make your self-love conditional. You’d prefer yourself to stick with the plan, perform in a particular way and get certain results. But don’t turn on yourself when you fall short. Have compassion as you learn to work with yourself. Surround yourself with teachers, supporters and role models. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be thinking deep thoughts. It all starts with a question. You’ll be curious about how things work and why, who is running it and where it’s going. Most importantly, you’ll want to know your purpose inside it all. One small certainty will send you down a kind of yellow brick road. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll label things for the sake of organization. It works in a notebook, a closet, and in your own internal emotional and social landscape. Putting a label on relationships and feelings will help you process them. Name things carefully with benevolence and specificity. And remember -- labels can change. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s easier to feel like you’re winning when people are actually rooting for you. But when you’ve done a thing enough times to be intimately attuned to exactly the work most needed to succeed, that work becomes its own cheer squad. The feeling of growing masterful is more satisfying than any external reward.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You choose roles that are clearly for the strong and the brave. People will count on you, an honor that will organize your days. The more heart you put into the plan, the less money you’ll need to pull it off. February brings a twist and new faces. A relationship born of fantasy will get an exciting real-life test run. March starts a period of training and building. Competition will bring out your best. There will be many games leading up to an epic main event, all of them important. COPYRIGHT 2021 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There will be no work more noble than the effort to conquer your own reactive impulses. No special equipment or training is needed for this strength training. You become mighty as you move through everyday experiences, compromising, cooperating and persevering as a team.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are those who would take advantage of your soft heart. There’s a gift in this. You’ll realize where the edges of your comfort lie. You’ll get clear about what you’re willing to do for others. You’ll understand where the boundaries should go because you can’t maintain or defend a boundary until you know where it is.

ENTERTAINMENT & LIFESTYLE BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

HBO’s Sex and the City may have become a major television franchise, but its origins come from columnist Candace Bushnell’s 1997 book of the same name. Fast forward to 2021 and the veteran author has taken her latest book, Is There Still Sex In the City? and turned it into a one-woman show currently playing off-Broadway at the Daryl Roth Theatre.

1 2

Her ancestors emigrated from England in 1639.

Father Calvin L. Bushnell was one of the inventors of the Air Cooled Hydrogen Fuel Cell used in the 1960s Apollo space missions.

What has your experience been like going from being an author to being front and center onstage?

What inspired this project? CB: In the last five years or so, I’ve been more drawn a little bit more to theater. I realized that when you sell the rights to your books, you sell your stage rights. I decided to try and keep them. When I sold the rights to the book, Is There Still Sex In the City? to TV, the concession they made was that I was only able to keep the rights to a one-woman show. Then I met our producer Art Johnson, who produces a touring show for David Foster and he said he thought he could do something like that for me. We took it to the Bucks County Playhouse, had a successful run there this past summer and now we’re in New York. It’s very exciting. We’ve done our rehearsal and tech phases,

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

Five Fun Facts About Candace Bushnell

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

Candace Bushnell: It’s not the first time I’ve been on a stage. I’ve done lecture tours and been in front of audiences a lot. I just never put anything together formally as a show. Even when I was doing lectures, I used to just wing it. I got paid a lot of money to do lectures and I never once wrote anything down. This is written and structured. It’s wonderful because I really feel like I can get my points across.

Sex & the City was based on a 1993 column wrote for The Observer that ran for two years starting in 1993 and shared the same name.

IS THERE STILL

SEX CITY? IN THE

we’ve done previews and had opening night on Dec. 7. It’s been a great, oncein-a-lifetime experience.

Going back to what you said before, what are the points you want to get across with this one-woman show? CB: I think it’s a very feminist perspective about relationships, women’s roles and it’s also my life story. How I created Sex & the City, how hard I worked to get there and what happened to me after.

What were some of the challenges you came across with this particular project? CB: I think the biggest challenges and

surprises were the physical aspects. That’s the big difference between being a writer and being on stage. I wear rigged-up Spanx. As a writer, yes, I get out of my pajamas, but I’m not putting on Spanx—that’s for sure. I have to wear rigged-up Spanx with microphones and mic packs. I absolutely have to exercise because you need a lot of energy, bouncing around on that stage. I’ve had to take voice lessons and a little bit of voice training. I’ve had a little bit of acting/coaching classes. The creative part is still there, it’s just modifying it from one medium to another. It’s just the physical aspect that’s really different.

In 2009 she wrote a web series, The Broadroom, a comedic series about women over 40 dealing with workplace issues, starring Jennie Garth.

She dated Condè Nast publishing executive Ron Galotti, who became the inspiration for Sex & the City’s Mr. Big. —Dave Gil de Rubio

Overall, what does Sex and the City mean to you? CB: I think it really gave women all over the world a different perspective about their lives. It arrived at a time when women’s lives were expanding beyond being married and having kids. Is There Still Sex In the City? is playing Off-Broadway at the Daryl Roth Theatre, 101 E. 15th St., NYC.
