Is This The End Of Suburbia? Elected officials decry housing solution

BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

overnor Kathy Hochul’s proposed solution to the state’s lack of affordable housing might be worse than the problem her critics charged. It would allow homeowners to create what are called accessory dwelling units (ADUs) within their houses or on their properties. The idea was slammed by area-elected officials as an overreach and violation of home rule. And it would undercut single-family zoning, the bedrock of suburbia. Even Congressman Thomas Suozzi, a fellow Democrat, called the governor’s idea “radical.” Of course, he also hopes to challenge her in a primary later this year. When she spoke at the Long Island Association State of the Region Breakfast last month, Hochul briefly discussed her vision of affordable housing. She noted Long Island’s “wonderful communities” but pointedly added, “Their kids cannot afford to raise their own kids there either and they have to leave. And that is sad, that is tragic. Let’s build back more affordability, transit, oriented development, places like Wyandanch....Those places are the examples for the rest of our state and the rest of the nation on how we focus on building back increasing capacity, letting people live and work right there or be close to transit to take them to their jobs. That’s how we build back Long Island, these kinds of investments.” She made no mention of her ADU plan, which she had sketched out in the State of the State earlier that month. It turned out, the devil was in the details, in hundreds of pages of a dense follow-up budget message that few would read. One of them was County Legislator Tom McKevitt (R– East Meadow), who previously served more than a dozen years on the state assembly. “When I researched the governor’s state budget proposal, I was astonished to find that she buried this offensive legislation, which constitutes a sneaky attempt to destroy the suburbs,” McKevitt said in a statement. “Long Island neighbors will not stand for this attempt to urbanize suburbia by outlawing single-family homes.” The legislation would, according to Hochul, “require municipalities

In his letter, according to a press release, “Having served as both a mayor and county executive, I know local land use planning is the bedrock of local government; zoning and land use planning is one of the key reasons that local governments were created in the first place,” said Suozzi in a statement. “This blatant attack on suburban communities will end single-family housing as we know it, strip local control away from the New Yorkers who live there, tank the value of their homes, overcrowd their previously quiet streets and on top of it all, not do anything to solve our affordable housing problem,” said Congressman Zeldin, who is the presumptive Republican and Conservative candidate to challenge Hochul this year. At a Feb. 2 press conference, a coalition of officials, led by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin, North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jen DeSena, town councilmembers, county legislators and mayors and trustees from more than two dozen villages registered their opposition. According to a press release, they “detailed how the governor’s urbanization plan would negatively impact the environment, traffic, parking, emergency services, police protection, gas and electric supply, sanitary sewers and water supply, as well as the local school systems.” “Allowing [ADUs] on the property of homes that are currently zoned for single-family use is nothing short of a direct attack on our suburban communities and the quality of life we cherish,” said DeSena, who promised to join with her fellow elected officials to defeat the proposal.

Northwell Launches Lung Transplant Program Northwell Health recently announced that it has begun listing patients who need a lung transplant through the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), the final steps toward opening the first lung transplant program serving Long Island and Queens residents. As the number of New Yorkers requiring a lung transplant have tripled over the last decade, the Northwell Health Transplant Center at North Shore University Hospital (NSUH) launched its program to fill an urgent need. With the addition of lung procedures, NSUH now offers world-class solid organ transplantation services for adult heart, kidney, liver and lung. Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New Hyde Park also performs pediatric kidney transplants. There are currently just 73 lung transplant centers in the United States. Lung transplantation was already expected to grow before the COVID-19 pandemic left in its wake an entire cohort of survivors whose lungs have been permanently

scarred, damaged or otherwise compromised. About seven percent of lung transplants performed in 2021 were COVID-related. That’s in addition to the fact that Northwell physicians saw a 23 percent increase in patients experiencing lung failure between 2017-19. “Half of all lung transplant recipients at New York City hospitals traveled from Long Island, Queens, Brooklyn or Staten Island,” said Zachary Kon, MD, surgical director of Advanced Lung Failure and Lung Transplantation Services at

Northwell. “It’s important for patients to receive care in the communities where they live. That’s why Northwell being able to offer lung transplantation opens up options for the region and improves quality of life for their entire network of supporters on this life-saving health journey. One expedition is enough.” The lung transplant program, which has received all necessary regulatory approvals, is the latest addition to an ongoing clinical and capital investment into North Shore University Hospital. The Petrocelli Advanced Surgical Pavilion, a seven-story, 280,000-square-foot building meant to transform the capabilities of the Level I trauma center and teaching hospital, is expected to open in 2023. NSUH is also home to the Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital, the Katz Women’s Hospital, neurosurgery, multi-organ transplant services and one of the busiest emergency departments in the New York Metropolitan area. “Lung transplant is the latest life-changing specialty we’re proud

to offer to the communities we serve, and like everything we do at North Shore University Hospital, it will be performed with sophistication and best-in-class care,” NSUH Executive Director Jon Sendach said. “Our reputation already makes us a destination for complex medical procedures and that coordination of care as part of an integrated health system sets us apart.” NSUH performed Long Island’s first heart transplant in February 2018 and followed up by completing Long Island’s first liver transplant in December 2019. UNOS is a nonprofit which serves as the nation’s transplant system, overseeing the network of transplant hospitals, organ procurement organizations and thousands of volunteers who are dedicated to honoring the gifts of life entrusted to us and to making lifesaving transplants possible for patients in need.

hen fans walked into the MacArthur High School gym for a recent game, something looked a bit different. As the Generals warmed up, they were wearing their blue away uniforms. For every home game this season, the Generals were dressed in white. So why the change to blue? As it turns out, the game was on Feb. 2, the same day as the funeral for fallen New York City police officer William Mora. “We wanted to honor and respect those who made and continue to make the ultimate sacrifice and protect our families and communities everyday,” MacArthur basketball coach Brian Maini said in an email. Mora and his partner Jason Rivera were killed while responding to a domestic disturbance. The funerals for both officers—held a week apart— were at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and were attended by thousands of police

Saving A Life Is As Simple As Rolling Up Your Sleeve State Farm Agent Joseph Benincasa hosting virtual blood drive Blood supplies across the country are running critically low. To help ensure lifesaving blood, plasma and platelets are readily available for patients in need, State Farm is raising awareness about blood donation efforts. That’s why Farmingdale State Farm Agent Joseph Benincasa has teamed up with the New York Blood Center to host a virtual blood drive until the end of February. “This blood drive allows us to do something positive in the community and potentially save lives,” Benincasa said. “We are encouraging everyone to schedule blood donation appointments and encourage family and friends to do the same. This act of kindness is one of the most generous gifts someone can give.” According to the New York Blood

Center, one pint of blood can save up to three lives. Donors can help meet the daily transfusion needs of cancer and surgery patients, accident and burn victims, AIDS and sickle cell anemia patients and many others in need. To provide the lifesaving gift of blood, visit the New York Blood Center’s site and schedule an appointment. To indicate you are donating blood on behalf of this drive, provide the group code 71422 when you arrive at your appointment. “At State Farm, part of our mission is to help people recover from the unexpected,” Benincasa added. “With this blood drive, we can partner with the community to do just that.” —Submitted by State Farm

Disorder Ensues At Locust Valley BOE Meeting BY NATALIA VENTURA

nventura@antonmediagroup.com

he Locust Valley Board of Education (BOE) meeting was held on Feb. 8 at 7:30 p.m. in the shared Middle School and High School auditorium. After standing for the “Pledge of Allegiance,” the meeting started with the Student Representative’s Report. The Student Government Officers announced the Intergenerational Dinner was being held on March 27 at 4 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. A March 4 blood drive in the mini theater was also announced. BOE President Brian T. Nolan then read from a prepared statement. “Having grown up here in Locust Valley, for 42 years I’ve lived in this community. I’ve stayed here to raise my family, and I’ve taken various volunteer positions throughout Locust Valley. I think it’s clear that this community holds a special place in my heart, as it does for all of our board members. It is the people and families that make this community feel like home.” He added, “Lately, as in many communities, we have seen division amongst ourselves. I know we respect each other, and I want to remind everyone that such respect is how we come together through difficult times. There are understandably different opinions on many topics, and of course everyone has a right to their own opinions…In order for this community to remain the special place that it always has been, we will need to work together rather than push each other away.” Following Nolan’s statement, the floor was opened up for public comments. The New York State Board of Regents passed a regulation that allows registered professional nurses to administer COVID-19 vaccines with a non-patient specific order issued by a licensed physician or certified nurse practitioner on Feb. 14. This will become effective March 2, according to Locust Valley resident Tara Jewell. “Legislators in New York have bills they are trying to pass,” Jewell said. “Assembly bill A3192, same as S3041, and this bill will remove parental consent requirements for students 14 [and older] to get immunizations. Bill A8378 is to mandate COVID-19 shots for school attendance.” “I would like a detailed, transparent plan in writing prior to March 2 so we know what to expect if our children

show up to school from there on,” Jewell continued. “District enrollment will depend on this, and I would also like to request to have the teachers close the windows on cold days. Kids are freezing in class, there is no need to have the windows open since COVID-19 isn’t spreading in schools and you all know it’s true.” “Since August 2021, I have been actively fighting alongside other parents against the illegal and unlawful mandates,” Bayville resident Dawn Cluff commented. “I am not against masks or vaccines, I am against being forced to do something that I don’t think is right for me or my kids. This is about choice and the freedom to choose. This is about bodily autonomy, which is being violated by the school district each and every day they force children to wear a medical device on their face.” She continued, “The purpose of the state isn’t to grant rights, it’s to protect them. Our most important right as humans is the right to bodily autonomy. Let’s discuss the grant you accepted, the American Rescue Plan. The grant with the terms and conditions that you must comply with existing and unknown future directives from the state. I don’t like the sound of that, especially when Governor Hochul is talking about mandating the vaccine next year,” Cluff added. Some Locust Valley parents displayed their opinions to the board at the podium within the given three-minute period for each speaker. However,

that was not without any disorder. A Bayville resident left the premises after the board denied her request for more time at the podium. Speakers were also periodically interrupted by those seated, especially by residents with an opposing opinion. Board members repeatedly asked for a respectful environment. Even District Clerk Susan Hammerschmidt attempted to leave the auditorium due to the behavior of some in attendance. Locust Valley student Josephine DeBono also shared her comments with the board. “My brother is severely autistic, because of this he cannot wear a mask due to his sensory issues and he physically cannot leave it on,” DeBono said. “We were almost unable to get him vaccinated. There’s a large population of students in this school in the Life Skills program, with needs for Special Education that I feel like we’re excluding from the conversation when we talk about the risks of unmasking the entire school population. We’re not talking about the consequences of having everyone at school suddenly not wearing masks.” DeBono continued, “If we have to quarantine again because cases go up, sure it might mean online learning for some of us. For kids like my brother, it means regressing in his abilities to talk, it means not being able to leave the house and I want to know how the board is taking the needs of special needs students into their decisions when they’re talking about taking off

the masks and parental choice. Talking about your right to now wear a mask, what about my brother’s right to stay alive? I feel like that’s a conversation not being had,” DeBono concluded. Superintendent Kenneth E. Graham recognized varsity basketball player Lindsay Hogan and her “career milestone” of accumulating 1,000 points this basketball season. He included Sophia Del Giudice, who earned AllCounty honors in the Shot Put event. The district has added a Girl’s Flag Football Team to their athletic department this year. In a program sponsored by the New York Jets, Locust Valley High School is joining the NFL’s Girls Flag Football League. The high school is among eight Nassau County schools participating in this pilot program. Nike, and the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA), are also joining the Jets with sponsoring the program by providing funding and uniforms. On Feb. 1, the Jets held a kick-off event at MetLife Stadium. A student from each participating high school represented their district and celebrated this expansion. Locust Valley High School junior Danielle Jauregui represented her school with her father and Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics Danielle Turner. What did you think of this story?

Kindergarten through fifth graders were recently invited to watch the fourth- and fifth-grade band and orchestra performances for their Winter Concert. Principal Stephanie Stam introduced her music department and their musical ensembles. Under the direction of Kerri Barnett, her band played two songs, “March of the Rookie” and “Jingle Bells.” Orchestra teacher Richard Enderle had his orchestra close out the assembly with two songs. The orchestra played “D-Tour” and “Fiddler’s Hoedown.” During “Fiddler’s Hoedown,” students were invited to clap along to the beat of the music, enjoying the musical presentation. Both teachers asked their students to demonstrate each instrument played, so future musicians can better understand the option of choices they will have when they choose to join the band or orchestra in the future. The musicians enjoyed performing in their first concert. On Jan. 20, the third-grade chorus performed three songs under the direction of Frank Barbera. They sang “Join Together” by The Who, “Simple Gifts” and “Rocking the ABCs.” The fourth- and fifth-grade chorus followed with the songs “Peace Like a River,” Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind” and “The Candy Man”.

Dr. Harvey Manes Announces NY 3rd. District Congressional Bid

unning as political outsider beholden only to the taxpayers, long-time orthopedic surgeon, attorney and philanthropist, Dr. Harvey Manes has announced his campaign for the New York Third District seat currently held by Tom Suozzi. “I’m running as a fresh, new face who will fight with the taxpayers to cut runaway government spending and inflation, respect law enforcement and reduce crime, close our southern border to illegal immigration trafficking and drugs, and protect our economy from bad policies, COVID mandates and lockdowns,” the Plainview resident said. “I will be the loud and persistent voice fighting for the people, not for corporate interests and the Washington establishment.” Running a successful medical practice for more than 40 years, Manes said he is appalled by the deficit spending of the Biden administration and the trillions of dollars in borrowing facilitated by the Washington swamp. “I have five grandchildren and I will not sit idly by while self-serving politicians continue to mortgage their future through massive borrowing and the printing of money,” Manes said. “Inflation is overwhelming working-class families and I will be a congressman fighting for their economic security.” According to Manes, it took the Biden administration less than a year to turn the country from energy independent to a nation beholden to anti-American governments for its energy. “The anti-energy policies coming out of Washington such as canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline and closing federal lands to energy production have had devastating consequences for working families and senior citizens on fixed budgets,” Manes said. “The price of gasoline and home heating oil is outrageous and can be directly tied to the policies of the Democrats. When it comes to energy, taxes, jobs and economic opportunity, I will fight for the people of my district.” Through his Manes Peace Prize Foundation, Manes has funded highly successful gun buyback programs in conjunction with Crime Stoppers and is a long-time supporter of the Guardian Angels, where he is a member of the board of directors. “I absolutely oppose the Defund the Police farce and will fight for additional resources for law enforcement, especially in minority communities which have been hit the hardest by the crime wave that resulted from the elimination of bail and the anti-police sentiment that has infiltrated our government,” Manes said in announcing his candidacy. “I am not part of the cancel culture that thinks it’s okay to close jails and let criminals run free, especially those who are so emboldened they shoot up their neighborhoods and even the police.” Manes, who pledged to lead a delegation of residents from the Third Congressional District to assess the Southern Border problem firsthand, called out the president’s immigration policies. “Everyone knows that you can’t throw open

A self-made man who started life in an orphanage and foster homes, the doctor knows what it means to struggle, but with hard work, you can achieve the American Dream. He is a renowned art collector, Nassau County Museum of Art Trustee and benefactor of the museum’s Manes Art and Education Center.

Temple Tikvah Gets FEMA Grant

he Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has obligated nearly $335,000 to reimburse Temple Tikvah in New Hyde Park for costs associated with emergency protective measures following remnants of Hurricane Ida. This is just one step FEMA has taken to help houses of worship in the state recover and rebuild. Temple Tikvah (“hope”) serves congregants from Queens and Nassau counties. Like many other homes and businesses across the region, the temple sustained damage from the heavy rains Ida brought to the Northeast. Social gatherings, religious ceremonies and religious instruction were put on hold.

Childs School Celebrates Lunar New Year

John Lewis Childs School in Floral Park has been honoring the Lunar New Year through various classroom lessons and activities. In Candace Nagle’s kindergarten class, students learned about the holiday’s traditions and created tiger masks to represent the Year of the Tiger. Student Patrina Pang taught her classmates how to make Chinese cut-outs using the document camera and Smart TV. Second graders in Alyssa Borg’s

classroom listened to a read aloud of Vickie Lee’s Ruby’s Chinese New Year and crafted paper Chinese lanterns. There were many tiger-themed crafts throughout the building, including shakers in Laura Imperio’s pre-K class and bookmarks in Dr. Jennifer Pecorella’s fifth grade class. Additionally, the Directed Drawing Club practiced drawing tigers. —Submitted by the Floral Park-Bellerose Union Free School District

Mineola Village Judge Scott Fairgrieve and Angelo Buttacoli, a drug and alcohol counselor, continue their mission to advocate against impaired driving to high school students. Each year, more than 10,000 persons are killed due to drunk driving in the United States. The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $44 billion. Arrests for driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is rampant. For example, in 2016, more than 1 million drivers in the United States were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Judge Fairgrieve has been speaking at high schools for over 20 years. Buttacoli has been involved for over 10 years.

COVER STORY

Digital SAT Brings Student-Friendly Changes

ollege Board recently announced that the SAT Suite of Assessments will be delivered digitally. In November 2021, College Board piloted the digital SAT in the U.S. and internationally; 80 percent of students responded that they found it to be less stressful and 100 percent of educators reported having a positive experience. While the transition to digital will bring a number of student and educator-friendly changes, many important features of the SAT Suite (SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, PSAT 8/9) will stay the same. The SAT Suite will continue to measure the knowledge and skills that students are learning in high school and that matter most for college and career readiness. The SAT will still be scored on a 1600 scale and educators and students can continue to track growth across the SAT Suite of Assessments over time. The assessments will continue to be administered in a school or in a test center with a proctor present—not at home. Students will still have access to free practice resources on Khan Academy. Students taking the SAT Suite will continue to connect to scholarships and the College Board National Recognition Programs. What’s Changing “The digital SAT will be easier to take, easier to give, and more relevant,” said Priscilla Rodriguez, vice president of College Readiness Assessments at College Board. “We’re not simply putting the current SAT on a digital platform—we’re taking full advantage of what delivering an assessment digitally makes possible. With input from educators and students, we are adapting to ensure we continue to meet their evolving needs.” Among the changes: the digital SAT will be shorter—about two hours instead of three for the current SAT, with more time per question. The digital test will feature shorter reading passages with one question tied to each and passages will reflect a wider range of topics that represent the works students read in college. Calculators will be allowed on the entire Math section. Students and educators will get scores back in days, instead of weeks. To reflect the range of paths that students take after high school, digital SAT Suite score reports

Big changes coming for the SAT will also connect students to information and resources about local two-year college, workforce training programs and career options. With the transition to digital tests, College Board is working to address inequities in access to technology. Students will be able to use their own device (laptop or tablet) or a school issued device. If students don’t have a device to use, College Board will provide one for use on test day. If a student loses connectivity or power, the digital SAT has been designed to ensure they won’t lose their work or time while they reconnect. The changes will also make the SAT more secure. With the current paper and pencil SAT, if one test form is compromised it can mean canceling administrations or canceling scores for a whole group of students. Going digital allows every student to receive a unique test form, so it will be practically impossible to share answers. The SAT will be delivered digitally internationally beginning in 2023 and in the U.S. in 2024. The PSAT/NMSQT

and PSAT 8/9 will be delivered digitally in 2023 with the PSAT 10 following in 2024. More information about the changes can be found at SAT.org/digital. An option for students to show their strengths The SAT continues to play a vital role in a holistic admissions process and continues to connect students to postsecondary and scholarship opportunities. When nearly every college went test optional during the pandemic, millions of students still took the SAT. That trend has continued with the high school class of 2022. Most students want to take the SAT, find out how they did, and then decide if they want to submit their scores to colleges. When surveyed, 83% of students said they want the option to submit test scores to colleges. This finding remains consistent whether or not students have taken the SAT and across race/ethnicity and parents’ level of education. “In a largely test-optional world,

the SAT is a lower-stakes test in college admissions. Submitting a score is optional for every type of college, and we want the SAT to be the best possible option for students. The SAT allows every student—regardless of where they go to high school—to be seen and to access opportunities that will shape their lives and careers,” Rodriguez said. “I am one of those students. I’m a first-generation American, the child of immigrants who came to the U.S. with limited financial resources, and I know how the SAT Suite of Assessments opened doors to colleges, scholarships, and educational opportunities that I otherwise never would have known about or had access to. We want to keep those same doors of opportunity open for all students.” When viewed within the context of where a student lives and learns, test scores can confirm a student’s grades or demonstrate their strengths beyond what their high school grades may show. In the class of 2020, nearly 1.7 million U.S. students had SAT scores that confirmed or exceeded their high school GPA. That means that their SAT scores were a point of strength on their college applications. Among those students, more than 300,000 were from small towns and rural communities; 600,000 were first-generation college goers; and 700,000 were Black or Latino. —College Board

t the Great Neck Park District Sailing School, there is something for everyone. The park district program offers exciting lessons and programs for adults, children and families. “Sailing can be either a very relaxing or very competitive sport, depending on what your goals are,” Sailing Director Ryan Goldberg said. “Whether you decide to sail for leisure or race in regattas, we are happy to point you in the right direction and teach you the skills you will need to succeed.” The Great Neck Park District Sailing School is committed to inspiring and encouraging individuals to be a part of the sailing lifestyle through expert, safe and exciting boating experiences. “My family introduced me to sailing as a young child so I have more than 20 years of sailing experience,” Goldberg said. “As a student in high school, I joined a sailing school and became a junior instructor. Soon after, I put the skills I had learned to good use by working as a sailing instructor for the Great Neck Park District.” Once Goldberg graduated from college, he worked up to the position of waterfront director. He has since helped build the sailing program by adding a variety of activities and boat rentals. The goal is to enhance an individual’s ability by teaching high-quality sailing

Away skills through excellence, integrity and equality in every aspect of the sport and in life. “I believe anyone can learn to sail if they are willing to put in the effort,” Goldberg said. “A good sailing student is interested in the outdoors and enjoys spending time on the water.” This summer, let us give you the confidence to sail your own boat. Students who have never sailed before as well as those who have sailing experience, are welcome. We have courses for beginners to advanced, offering sailing opportunities for everyone. Beginners are taught basic seamanship, boating safety, and are introduced to the basics of sailing. Sailing is fun. Michele Siegel “Sailing is a vital sport because it teaches life skills such as teamwork and problem-solving,” Goldberg said. “Sailing also builds an appreciation for the environment in a fun, renewable and safe way.” With the guidance of one of the program’s professional coaches, you will learn to sail in one of the most spectacular sailing venues on the north shore of Long Island. The staff members are committed to provide the best sailing instruction available at any level of experience. “I sail and teach the skills to sail, because I enjoy offering new students an appreciation for the sport and teaching the physics that makes the sport work,” Goldberg said. “I think it’s incredible seeing new students begin to grasp how wind alone can let you chart a course wherever you may want to go.” Visit www.gnparks.org/183/Sailing for more information.

n Jan. 28-29, Winter Storm Kenan dumped 14-plus inches of snow on Garden City. Crews began salting as snow began to coat roadways at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 28. According to Public Works Deputy Superintendent Domenick Stanco, crews continued salting roads and parking lots until the snow quickly intensified and began accumulating. The plowing operation then followed at approximately 2 a.m. Saturday and continued through midnight Saturday. There were approximately 45 pieces of equipment—large/medium and small trucks as well as several payloaders and a backhoe loader— working around the clock during the blizzard. After the plowing operation ended Saturday evening, crews then began salting roads and parking lots again at 8 p.m. and continued through the evening. Employees from all divisions of DPW worked on the cleanup efforts, including crews from the Street, Sanitation and Water Departments, as well as Parks and Recreation, which works in close cooperation with the DPW in the task of snow removal. In addition to clearing out recreation facilities such as St. Paul’s School, the Senior Center and Community Park, Parks and Recreation crews also help clear parking lots and sidewalks throughout the village.

Making An Afternoon Of It

Reid-Robeson Classic returns for the first time in two years BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

he “Yes We Can” Community Center in the New Cassel section of Westbury played host to the 35th edition of the ReidRobeson Classic on Feb. 5. The pandemic canceled last year’s edition The move to the North Hempstead-owned facility was necessitated by a flooding that put the Westbury High School gym out of action. The afternoon of hoops began with the Westbury jayvee team beating Carey 56-45. Wendarlin Charles (21) and Brian Destrat (16) paced the Green Dragons. Next, the Lady Green Dragons fell to visiting Clarke 49-25 in the varsity tilt as the Rams broke open a close game with a 27-2 second half. Westbury was led by Kirina Azemar, who netted 14 points. Bishop Kellenberg High School participated at the last tournament, in 2020, and the Firebirds made a return engagement and left with a 64-51 win in the boys varsity game. The home team could never quite catch up after falling behind 14-5 after one frame. The Green Dragons got as close as 49-41 near the start of the fourth quarter, but Kellenberg always managed to get the key baskets to keep a safe lead.

The game is partially named after the late Westbury alumnus Martin “Bunky” Reid, who led the boys basketball team to numerous titles, including the 1985 state public schools championship.

He was the assistant principal at his alma mater at the time of his death in 1993. The program described him as “a man among men, a leader among leaders, a hero to all youth in our community.” He created the classic in 1986 and it was named after him in 1994. Paul Robeson (1898-76) was a pioneering African American scholar, athlete and actor-singer. The program notes, “we remember the way he strove to better society by pointing out the injustices and challenging us to correct them.”

As part of the program, each participating team honored a scholar athlete. Westbury named Haroon Ahmed (jayvee), Isabellah Barrios Gil (girls) and Clayten Thomas (boys). Westbury Mayor Peter Cavallaro was on hand to watch his nephew and godson, James Cavallaro of Huntington, in action for Kellenberg. He admitted in a Facebook post that he had split loyalties. Westbury Athletic Director Doric Capsis said the gym was expected to be repaired by the middle of March.

control work is proceeding. Crews are preparing systems for performance testing by the end of February.

“We just couldn’t close it,” Westbury coach Jason Bryant said. “This game hurt because we haven’t had a week of good practices. We lost our gym, so we don’t have a solid place to work out.” Westbury played just two games last season because of the pandemic and only three current players have varsity experience. Bryant was hopeful that his squad could make the postseason, but a 64-63 loss to league rival East Meadow on Feb. 8 made the task a bit

harder for Westbury (4-7 Nassau Conference AA-2 and 5-11 overall). It still has a mathematical possibility. “I’m optimistic about the future. We have a couple of good freshmen and sophomores coming up,” Bryant said.

A resident reported receiving a phone call from a person claiming to be a Garden City Police Officer. The caller advised the victim to provide payment to avoid being arrested for a criminal charge, according to Commissioner Kenneth Jackson. It was determined the call was a scam and did not originate from the GCPD. However, the suspect’s phone number on the victim’s phone erroneously came back to the department.

Afro-Latinx ‘Hair’ On Tap At Library O

n Sunday, Feb. 19, at 2 p.m., the Westbury Memorial Public Library presents “Hair—An Afro-Latinx Tale of Identity, Self-Love and Acceptance.” Author and performer Adriana Devers will perform and will start the afternoon with a bi-lingual story hour at the Westbury Children’s Library at noon. Devers asks, “If your hair could speak what story would it tell?” Devers says the main objective of this event is to invite our youth to celebrate who they are and see themselves reflected through each piece of art. “I want them to know that their hair is part of our true essence, it has roots, it grows, it has willpower, it’s not an accessory. Our hair is a fundamental part of who we are,” she said. The library is located at 445 Jefferson St. in Westbury. The Children’s Library is around the corner at 374 School Street. Register for this event through the library website, www.westburylibrary. org/monthly-calendar.

Adriana Devers will talk about hair and identity.

Carle Place High School senior Amanda Leary joined an elite group of Carle Place girl basketball players as she scored her 1,000th point against Cold Spring Harbor on Feb. 5. The club included Amanda’s sister Erin (Class of 2021), Abigail Sellhorn (2019) and Jennifer McLaughlin (2005). Amanda is scoring 22.2 ppg in leading the Frogs to the top of Nassau Conference B/C-2 with a 12-2 record and 14-3 overall at press time. Sister Caitlin, a sophomore, is scoring 10.2 ppg. On the varsity since seventh grade, Amanda has been part of four Nassau and two Long Island Class B championship teams. The pandemic erased much of the 2020-21 campaign and no

postseason was played. In the last Long Island championship game before COVID-19, on March 9, 2020, Amanda scored a game-high 29 points as the Frogs crushed Suffolk champion Port Jefferson 70-42. No state tournament was held that year. Amanda has a few more games as a Frog. She will continue her journey as a student-athlete playing for the girls basketball team at Springfield College in the fall. The district congratulates Amanda on an amazing accomplishment. —Submitted by the Carle Place School District with additional reporting by Anton Media Group

Making A Call To Action During Financial Aid Awareness Month Every fall, students across the country can begin the process of applying for financial aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Completion of the FAFSA is critical in determining both federal and state financial aid. However, far too many students are not fully aware of how this process impacts their ability to afford an education at an institution of higher education. At St. Thomas Aquinas College (STAC)—where I have been fortunate to serve as the new President since July 2020—we have prioritized “Access to an Affordable” education as a key pillar of our strategic vision. This will help ensure every student has an opportunity to receive an education and achieve their full potential.

Proposal Can Override Local Zoning, Destroy Suburbs Deep within the thousands of pages of the governor’s budget is a proposed law that will essentially end single-family zoning in Nassau County and across the state.

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS Mayor Pam Panzenbeck would like to recognize Feb. 17 as Remembrance Day for the Harlem Hellfighters. Due to COVID-19, a public event typically held on Feb. 17, has been rescheduled to June 18. According to Fred Nielsen, a 74-year-old retired U.S. Marine Corps Major and founder of the Harlem Hellfighters Citizens, Soldiers and Patriots Advisory Board, Glen Cove was the first city in the nation to officially acknowledge Feb. 17 as Remembrance Day for the Harlem Hellfighters. The Harlem Hellfighters were members of the 369th infantry regiment of African Americans in World War I who according to Wikipedia, spent more time in combat that any other American unit. They were a courageous, dedicated group who put their lives on the line for their country only to

return home to racism and segregation from their fellow Americans. Major Nielsen stated that decades after their deaths, Glen Cove’s 36 Members of the Harlem Hellfighters inspired legislation that called for them to be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. Congressman Tom Suozzi championed that legislation in the House and Senator Gillibrand pushed it in the Senate. This legislation passed both the House and the Senate and was signed into law by President Biden last August. We take immense pride in recognizing these brave soldiers. We thank them for their service. We look forward to a public event to be held on June 18 to officially celebrate these incredible servicemen. —Submitted by the City of Glen Cove

LOCUST VALLEY SECOND-GRADERS LEARN FIRST-HAND ABOUT THE LUNAR NEW YEAR

Bayville Primary School Second-grader Matthew Hanna tries his hand at calligraphy during a lesson on the Lunar New Year. (Photo courtesy of Locust Valley Central School District)

Second-graders throughout Locust Valley Central School District practiced traditional Chinese activities such as calligraphy and lantern making in celebration of the Lunar New Year. During a Google Meet with teachers from a school in Taiwan, the students at Ann MacArthur Primary School and Bayville Primary School learned about schools in Taiwan and traditional Lunar New Year activities. One of the Taiwanese teachers demonstrated Chinese brush painting, or calligraphy, as the second-graders used paint brushes to follow his lead, producing beautiful prints of crabs. The lead teacher, Winnie Bear, explained the artistic process and then shared more information on their culture.

With the Lunar New Year beginning on Feb. 1, Ms. Bear said that Taiwanese people, like the Chinese, will celebrate with fireworks, food and friends and family. She explained that there are traditional foods eaten to help guarantee a good new year. Oranges are said to bring good luck, pineapple to bring prosperity and apples to provide safety. Eating these foods is expected to help make the Year of the Tiger a good one. Many thanks to second-grade teacher Dani Schatz for connecting with teachers from around the world and organizing visits that provide firsthand cultural lessons. —Submitted by the Locust Valley Central School District

BIRCH LANE STUDENTS GIVE VETERANS HEARTFELT THANKS Valentine’s Day is about showing love and appreciation, and children at Birch Lane Elementary School in the Massapequa School District did just that for the men and women who have served their country. The school participated in the Valentines for Veterans program, in partner-

ship with the Town of Oyster Bay, and students crafted handmade cards. “We thank our students for taking time to write messages to the brave men and women who selflessly and honorably served our country to protect our freedom,” Principal Stephen Aspetti said. “This served as a great

opportunity for our students to thank a veteran for his or her service, sacrifice and commitment to our country.” Second grade teacher Colleen McCree said her students first brainstormed ideas about messages they could write to veterans. The project not only gave them a chance to spread kind-

ness, but also helped with their writing skills. McCree said students learned how to use descriptive language, practiced their penmanship and built their writing stamina as their handwritten letters were three sentences. —Submitted by the Massapequa School District

Massapequa Grows Girls Sports With Flag Football Pilot

he Massapequa Chiefs athletic program is growing, with a new sport being added to the spring lineup this year and potentially beyond. Massapequa High School is taking part in a pilot program for a girls flag football league and it is already creating buzz as more than 50 girls attended a pair of general interest meetings. Through a partnership between the New York State Public High School Athletic Association and the New York Giants, New York Jets and Buffalo Bills football teams, the program is being offered in six athletic sections in the state. Massapequa is one of eight high schools from Section VIII, Nassau County, that will field a team in April and May and will play six to eight games. Competition will be seven-on-seven on a regulation-size field “This is another opportunity for our female athletes to get involved,” Director of physical education, health, athletics and recreation Shannon McEntee said. “It’s really exciting that we will be among the first flag football teams in the county and the state. Participation in this program is tremendous for the district and for the girls.” Startup costs are funded by a grant from the Jets including money for jerseys, footballs and belts and flags. A shortened season will begin on

April 4, a few weeks after the other spring teams. McEntee said that she expects the pilot program to be successful and to add a varsity team with a full schedule for the spring 2023 season. The new team will feature a mix of new and established athletes. McEntee said many girls who expressed interest in flag football have never been on a varsity team, while others

have played for Massapequa’s fall and winter teams including basketball, bowling, soccer and volleyball. Because it is a non-contact sport, games can be played more frequently than boys football. McEntee envisions a schedule of Saturday afternoon games at Massapequa High School and Monday night games under the lights on the Berner Middle School field.

Senior Alyssa Papasodero will be one of the inaugural members of the team and was invited to attend a launch party at MetLife Stadium on Feb. 2. When Papasodero and future flag football players from other high schools walked into the Jets locker room, they were surprised with a locker full of new equipment and a customized jersey for each student. Less of a surprise was the number on Papasodero’s blue and gold Massapequa jersey: 1. “I wanted to be a part of history this year,” Papasodero said of why she has committed to the team. She already plays ice hockey for Massapequa. The launch party included photo sessions, interviews and a panel of speakers for National Women and Girls in Sports Day. Papasodero, who attended with her father and McEntee, said it energized her for the upcoming season. She hopes Massapequa can make the playoffs, which would be held at the Jets practice facility, but is more enthusiastic about breaking new ground. “I think we can really go far this year,” Papasodero said. “But it’s not about winning or losing. It’s about starting something new here in Massapequa.” —Submitted by the Massapequa School District

Bethpage High School Senior Bowls A Perfect Game

Bethpage High School senior Brian Lunetto was one pin short of a perfect game during his team’s match against Massapequa High School on Jan. 6. Two weeks later, he achieved perfection as he bowled a 300 on Jan. 19. “It was kind of bittersweet, because it was my last match and I’ve been doing this for six years,” Lunetto said. “Like any other match, I was just trying to go out there and compete, and I was really focused on helping our team win the conference.” Lunetto said he realized how accurate his shots were during the fourth or fifth frame. Once he found a rhythm, he said he was determined to bowl a 300. “Those first few shots just looked and felt really good, so I kept trying to repeat that,” he said. “I didn’t want to recreate another 299.”

According to bowling coach June Dvorak, Lunetto was the only player in Nassau County to notch a perfect game this season. “He’s fabulous, and he’s an incredible student as well,” Dvorak said. Once the match was over, Lunetto said he felt relieved to cap off an amazing performance. He also said it was a special moment to receive a bowling pin from his coach, which marked his perfect game. “I was finally able to take it all in and celebrate with my team,” Lunetto said. “It was great being able to leave a legacy behind. Winning the conference was one of my goals, so this just fulfills all of the dreams that I had coming into the season.” —Submitted by the Bethpage Union Free School District

ROBERT DERDERIAN Robert Derderian of Manhasset passed away on January 13, 2022 at age 92. His life was defined by a deep passion for basketball & tennis and an abiding love for and commitment to family, friends, and fellow veterans. Bob was a resident of Manhasset, NY for over 40 years and a proud member of the Manhasset VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Post 5063. He was also a previous member of the Strathmore Vanderbilt Country Club and a booster of Manhasset High School sports teams. Bob was one of four brothers (George, Charles, John) who grew up during the Great Depression in South Ozone Park, Queens, raised by survivors of the Armenian Genocide. He graduated from John Adams HS, where he was a standout basketball player. He joined his brother John at New York University where he became the leading scorer of their topranked basketball team, which played all its home games to sold-out crowds at the old Madison Square Garden. After NYU, Bob enlisted and served overseas in the Coast Guard during the Korean War. Upon returning home, Bob resumed playing competitive basketball for many years for the New York Athletic Club, while at the same time going into business with his brothers Charles and John, first starting a flooring company and eventually a real estate business. A rolodex of stories and a fountain of memories from a bygone era, Bob would regale you over a long lunch at a local diner with his precise recollections of: • The day that the dirt road in front of their childhood home in Queens was paved in the early 1930s and folks came from all over the neighborhood to roller skate. • Marathon pickup games in Coney Island against Bob Cousy, Al McGuire, and other basketball legends. • His teammates at NYU who engaged in point shaving and were sent to Sing Sing for their crimes (this broke Bob’s heart and cast NYU out of big-time college basketball forever). • His bouts of seasickness aboard a Coast Guard meteorological ship in the North Atlantic during the Korean War. • Being drafted into the NBA by the Sheboygan Red Skins but declining to join the team because the pay was less than what he could make as a physical education teacher. • Meeting Fidel Castro on an athletics goodwill mission to Cuba in 1959 and playing exhibition games to packed crowds across the island. • Beating a then 14-year-old John McEnroe at tennis in Key Biscayne, FL and consoling the crying McEnroe afterwards (just a few short years before John stormed Wimbledon). It was a long and adventurous life for Bob. He did it his way. Graceful in movement, relaxed in manner, and curious of mind. Bob was a patient listener, always ready with an easy word of encouragement and a helping hand when you needed him. 230129 M

Powers, a graphic designer, suffered from tuberculosis and was often away. She spent the summers with her maternal grandmother, Cora May App, on the shore of Lake Erie – a period in her childhood that later became the subject of many of her short stories. When Marian was a teenager, she and her older sister, Jean, moved to the East Coast to live with their father in Bronxville, New York. She graduated from The Cooper Union School of Art in 1942 and, while continuing to paint, became a textile designer. In 1950, she married Edmund N. Goodman, a prominent surgeon at Columbian Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. They lived on the Upper East Side and, in the early 1950’s, after the births of the first two of their four children, built a house in Sands Point, on the Long Island Sound. Marian was an elegant hostess and devoted mother, not only to her own children, but to many of their friends. She continued to paint, exhibiting her moody watercolors of solitary surfcasters and stormy Scottish peaks, at the FAR Gallery in New York City. She was also a dedicated letter-writer for the Visiting Nurse Services of New York, a vocal activist in nature conservation efforts in Port Washington and a long-time member of the Port Washington Library Art Advisory council. Her aesthetic and cultural acumen was strongly felt by all those around her. Even nearly blind and confined to a wheelchair in her last year, Marian continued to listen to her books on tape, and greet her visitors with a smile. She never complained nor gave up, following her own advice, as she wrote in her poem, Waters Edge: “Follow the light/That goes under the earth/ Until it comes back in the morning.” Marian is survived by her children, Wendy, Tonne, Edmund, and Stacy; her grandchildren, Liliana Dirks Goodman, Cole Gimbel, and Evie Gimbel, her great-grandson, Otto Dirks Byrne, her nephew William Gifford and her niece Susan Gifford Carter.

The following requests for variances will be heard: The first applicant, Mr. Salvatore Brucculeri at 12 Stewart Avenue is proposing to add an additional curb cut and construct a circular driveway in front of the dwelling which would allow for additional parking. Village Code does not allow for any parking in front of the dwelling. He is seeking a variance from Section: 200-42.C.: Approved Parking Areas. The variance sought is: Parking in front of the dwelling unit. The second applicant is Ms. Teresa Campagna at 9 Elton Road North. In 2011 the Zoning Board approved the applicant (Teresa Campagna) and her father (Rudolf Campagna) to construct and utilize a temporary 2nd floor kitchen and a rear yard staircase to the 2nd floor. Both the kitchen and the staircase were to be removed if Rudolf Campagna passed away or if either one of the occupants moved or the house was sold. Mr. Rudolf Campagna has recently passed away and it is the desire of his daughter, Teresa Campagna at this time to extend the temporary variance where as her son, Justin Blasich and his family would occupy the 1st floor and Teresa Campagna would continue to occupy the 2nd floor leaving both the 2nd floor kitchen and the rear yard staircase to the 2nd floor in place. She is seeking variances from Sections: 200-13.: Height and Bulk. (Rear Yard Encroachments), 200-22D.: Permitted uses in Residential District; restrictions. There shall be no more than one above-grade kitchen and/or kitchenette in a one-family dwelling. The variance sought is: Continue to maintain a temporary 2nd floor kitchen and a rear yard staircase from the 2nd floor. The third applicant, Mr. Michael Hardial at 232 Elton Road is proposing to add a full 2nd story over the existing dwelling and attached garage. The existing garage is 5 feet from the North side property line. The minimum side yard setback required by Village Code is 6 feet therefore a variance of 1 foot is required for the 2nd story over the garage.

WORD FIND

FULL RUN

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any dire always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you h pleted the puzzle, there will be 20 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle. By Holiday Mathis

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Experiments aren’t just for scientists. As you strive for new levels of accomplishment, you’ll tinker, take risks, try things and keep track of what you learn. The higher you go, the more you’ll innovate. It will become clear to you this is more than a pursuit or a game; it’s a lifestyle. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Not everyone has a right to know what you think and feel. You’re the guard of your inner world, and your protection of it can be a form of self-love. Sometimes you’ll dress your feelings in clever and effective disguises, which is your right; you have your reasons. As long as you are honest with yourself, no harm, no foul.

The Riverina Solution: 20 Letters

WORD FIND This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 20 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

The Riverina Solution: 20 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The work at hand is an extension of you and will reflect on you in one way or another. Still, it’s not the totality of who you are. You defy definition and needn’t try to fit yourself into any role. You will produce remarkable results this week as you let the role mold itself to you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Too many options create an uncomfortable, unproductive state of confusion. Spend most of your time on your No. 1 goal. It won’t be enough to simply narrow your focus. The successful move will be to put blinders on, horsey style, so you can’t even see other options. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As you align yourself from the inside out, you’ll notice which thoughts are helping you and which ones are sticking out and causing you to scrape against the edges of your life. Your mental game changes your physical game. You’ll have more energy at your disposal when you let go of the ideas that cause friction. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There is an endless amount of information to be had, and it’s tempting to stay in student mode. You can’t do much good from there. Leave the theoretical world behind; you already know enough to move on. You’ll get everything you need by tackling real-world problems in real time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A responsibility may feel like an albatross around your neck, but don’t despair. You’re not an ancient sea mariner paying for past mistakes. You’re a bird yourself, with strong wings, just waiting for the right moment to leave the heaviness behind and take flight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This one you’ll have to start on your own. Stand up and walk toward your desire. The first few steps take the sort of strength you have to dig down for. After that, momentum kicks in. Your feet don’t want you to fall. Stepping is the best way they know to keep you up. Soon, others will support you and cheer you on. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be reminded that bravery isn’t characterized by a lack of fear. Confidence in the task at hand could be a product of ignorance, foolishness, experience, genetics or any number of factors unrelated to bravery. To answer the call regardless of what emotions run through it -- that’s courage.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Your ability to elicit excitement in people is epic. In three major moments of the year, this skill will bring a win to you and yours. You’ll participate in a training of sorts. There is a real trajectory forming here. Momentum is building. You r inner drive is strengthening. The summer brings a new commitment, which oddly makes you feel freer. You can’t make a mistake because there are no mistakes, only experiments. Something you own will allow you to heal a strange situation. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

Solution: A major foodbowl region

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Here comes a heady moment. You’ll think you’ve figured out life. In an infinitely complex universe, moments like this are few and far between. Act! Whatever age you are, this feeling is a version of youth to enjoy while you can! Inside the brief burst of confidence, you will have a positive impact on the world.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Although you can’t control the perceptions of others, you can certainly steer them. Pay attention to the messages you send. Stay aware of how people take things. Knowing how to make people feel respected and relaxed will give you an edge. They’ll be as generous as they are comfortable.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If reading is exercise for the mind, praying is exercise for the soul. And just as some exercises are harder and yield better results than others, there are prayers that will change you and useless ones, too. Your most beneficial daily practices are those that are ruled by humility, gratitude and openness.
