Denouncing the Governor’s Plan to Outlaw Single-Family Homes

own of North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena, Councilmembers Dennis Walsh and David Adhami, and Town Clerk Ragini Srivastava joined with dozens of irate and outraged officials at the state, county, town, city and village levels today to slam a provision of Governor Hochul’s State Budget proposal, which would effectively eliminate single-family home zoning across New York State.

Discreetly buried within the governor’s budget, the proposal would mandate that localities permit accessory dwelling units (ADU) on the property of homes that are currently zoned for single-family use, effectively stripping local government of their “home rule” authority to control local zoning.

“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. “The legislation proposed in the governor’s budget cannot be allowed to go forward, and I will work tirelessly to defeat it on behalf of those who have elected me.”

Officials detailed how the governor’s attack on suburban quality of life 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.

This proposal by Governor Hochul mandates every home in New York State be permitted to have at least one accessory dwelling unit, effectively

Supevisor DeSena and local elected leaders voice outrage over impacts on environment, traffic, parking, schools and more. (Contributed photo) creating multi-family housing all across the state in one fell swoop.

“Governor Hochul’s one-size-fits-all approach cannot be allowed to stand,” DeSena said. “Local zoning control gives municipalities the ability to determine zoning that is consistent with the character of our communities.

Make no mistake, Governor Hochul is trying to impose her will upon us and urbanize suburbia. We cannot allow this assault on our suburban communities.”

In response to Governor Hochul’s covert attempt to destroy suburban quality of life in Nassau County and across the state, DeSena and the assembled local officials drafted letters to the governor, demanding that this proposal be removed.

Additionally, DeSena and her colleagues in local government called upon the governor to remove this attack on our suburban communities from the proposed budget and encouraged members of the public to reach out directly to the governor and their state legislators to express outrage and demand this provision’s

removal.

Among the other elected officials at the press conference were Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, Nassau Legislature Majority Leader Rich Nicolello, Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin, Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joe Saladino, Glen Cove City Mayor Pam Panzenback, Town of Hempstead Receiver of Taxes Jeanine Driscoll, Town Clerk Kate Murray, Town Council Members Anthony D’Esposito, Dennis Dunne, Chris Carini and Tom Muscarella, Town of Oyster Bay Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato, Town Clerk Rich LaMarca, Councilmembers Steve Labriola, Michele Johnson, Lou Imbroto, Tom Hand, Laura Maier and Vicki Walsh.

Also City of Glen Cove Councilmembers Joseph Capobianco, Kevin Maccarone, Danielle Fugazy Scagliola, Jack Mancusi and Barbara Peebles, State Assemblymembers Ed Ra, Dave McDonough, John Mikulin, Missy Miller, Michael Montesano and Michael Durso, Nassau County Legislators Denise Ford, Bill Gaylor,

Howard Kopel, John Giuffre, Mazi Melesa Pilip, James Kennedy, Tom McKevitt, Laura Schaefer, John Ferretti, Rose Walker and Steve Rhoads. Also present were Nassau Comptroller Elaine Phillips and County Clerk Maureen O’Connell.

In addition, a large contingent of village mayors attended the press conference.

Some of those in attendance included Island Park Mayor Michael McGinty, Valley Stream Mayor Ed Fare, Lynbrook Village Mayor Alan Beach, East Rockaway Village Mayor Bruno Romano, Kensington Village Mayor Susan Lopatkin, Stewart Manor Village Mayor Michael Onorato, East Hills Village Mayor Michael Koblenz, Munsey Park Mayor Lawrence Cerrielo, East Williston Mayor Bonnie Parente, Massapequa Park Mayor Daniel Pearl and Village of Great Neck Mayor Bart Sobel, among others.

All local officials in attendance have indicated that they have written or plan to write to the Governor and State Legislators to register their opposition to the Governor’s plan to urbanize the suburbs.

Additionally, they are calling upon local neighbors to contact the governor and state legislators to demand that Governor Hochul remove her proposal to eliminate single family homes across New York State.

Local Sneaker King Strikes Again

ne asks what has our local Port Washington sneaker entrepreneur been up to these days? Brett Robinson, now a junior at Schreiber High School, has been busy running kicks.ny and is right on track with plans to give back to his community. This winter he held his own sneaker drive by recruiting family and friends to help out. He has collected about 50 pairs of sneakers in all sizes, styles and colors.

He was hoping to donate the sneakers to local shelters, but due to COVID-19 restrictions only brand new shoes can be accepted and distributed to those in need.

Fortunately, after doing some research, Robinson found an organization on Long Island that still accepts used items. The United Veterans Beacon House of Bay Shore provides veterans and their families with pre-owned footwear.

He joined forces with Incredible Feets, a shoe store in Albertson, through their own charitable mission of this kind. General Manager Larry Shames was thrilled to have Robinson’s help.

“Most people don’t come into the

store with the amount of sneakers that Brett collected,” said Shames.

“Customers may leave a small bag of one or two pairs, but that’s usually the limit.” The retail company has made contributions of over a thousand pairs of worn sneakers in the past two years, according to Shames.

Robinson went a step further.

He wanted to be able to help more people in need. He plans to match the number of worn sneakers he’s collected with brand new pairs which he will buy with the profits he has made from his Instagram page. By the spring and summer of 2022, Robinson will have donated an additional fifty pairs of sneakers to the men, women and children of the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless, Bethany House and Terena Williams Glory House in the Town of Hempstead.

When asked what inspired him, Robinson answered, “I learned that a good business is about turning a profit, but a great business is one that gives back,” he said. “Even if it’s just making a small difference in someone’s life.”

Chamber Of Commerce SOUPer Bowl XV

T

And the winner is ….

he SOUPer Bowl Committee of the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce turned this premiere foodie event into a safe and fun contest for these unprecedented times. SOUPer Bowl XV took place on Feb. 5—in people’s homes!

Local restaurants donated their best soups to the event. But instead of a large gathering, people went to the Chamber’s website, pwcoc.org, and signed up to be a taster. The soup reservations were sold out in a week!

On SOUPer Bowl Saturday people who registered went to the Archangel Michael Greek Orthodox Church and picked up a reusable tote bag full of 6-ounce portions of each soup to take home. They then heated and tasted the soups to vote on-line for their favorites.

Kids voted for their favorite soup too, to determine the Kids’ Choice.

The votes were tallied and this year the SOUPer Bowl Champs are: • Adults’ Choice: Cactus Café for Chicken Corn Chowder.

Kids’ Choice–a four-way tie! (in alphabetical order) • Ayhan’s Mediterranean Marketplace for turkey chili soup • Carlo’s Pizza for Linda’s chicken noodle

TOP STORY

Is This The End Of Suburbia?

Elected officials decry housing solution

BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

G

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.”

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.

MacArthur Basketball Team Supports Fallen NYPD Officers

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

Fittingly, the Generals came away For the MacArthur basketball team, with a 44-40 win over Great Neck wearing all blue was a show of respect. North. John Rebaudo had 13 points

and Matt Sarni added 12 to pace MacArthur. Matt Cassidy led the defensive effort and took four charges in the win. Sonny D’Errico added eight points while Sebastian Loor had five and T.J. Trapani added two.

Cassidy also contributed four points to the effort.

Over at Island Trees, the girls basketball team is 5-5 in Conference A-5 and 8-9 overall.

In a recent 47-22 win against Clarke, Emily Carbonaro had 16 points, including three three-pointers and Mikayla Ragot had 10 points and five assists. Alivia Agosta also sank a pair of three pointers.

Senior guard Carbonara is averaging 10.1 points per game for the Lady Bulldogs. Junior guard Agosta is averaging six points per game and she also leads the team with 18 three-pointers on the season. Ragot, also a senior guard, contributes 9.1 points per game for Island Trees.

Tava: Authentic Cuisine With A Modern Twist

ava Fine Indian Cuisine was given a warm welcome into the Glen Cove community at a ribbon-cutting ceremony, hosted by the Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District. The family-owned restaurant, at 61 Glen St., opened last November and has received a positive response from patrons over the past few months.

Owner and chef Sukhdev Singh, his son Kam Singh and nephew Supy Singh —Tava co-owners — spent eight months renovating the space, formerly Andros Grill and have transformed it into a more upscale space, with a sleek bar and bold artwork.

The Singhs were presented with citations from the Glen Cove Downtown B.I.D., the Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce, Mayor Pamela D. Panzenbeck, Legislator Delia DeRiggiWhitton and the offices of Assemblyman Charles Lavine and Senator James Gaughran, who all wished success for Tava on its new endeavor.

Candidacy for this program is based on either their outstanding performance on the ACT Assessment or the College Board SAT, nomination by their Chief State School Officer or one of the program’s partner recognition organizations. The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964 by executive order of the president to recognize and honor some of the nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. In 1979, the program was extended to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, creative and performing arts. In 2015, the program was again extended to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical education

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.”

Disorder Ensues At Locust Valley BOE Meeting

BY NATALIA VENTURA

nventura@antonmediagroup.com

T

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.

COVER STORY

Digital SAT Brings Student-Friendly Changes

C

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.

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.”

he elementary concert series kicked off at Lee Avenue School. 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”. The Lee Avenue school community was excited for the return of musical performances to their schools.

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. He recently donated $100,000 to fund the reconstruction of the famous Star Gazer sculpture at the Gateway to the Hamptons and was named Hamptons Art Collector of the Year.

“Washington needs fresh, new faces that aren’t beholden to the elites who run our country,” said Manes, who pledged to self-fund his campaign so he has no ties to lobbyists or special interests.

“I’m funding my own race and will take direction from no one except the voters who elect me.

Our country is obviously heading in the wrong direction and I am stepping up to the plate to turn it around. I know I’m not alone when I say changes must be made. That’s why I’m confident I can win this seat. I am a man of the people and not the Washington establishment. I will dedicate my time and my resources to put a non-politician in this seat who has no motive except to do what’s Plainview resident, Harvey Manes will run for right for America.” the New York Third District seat.

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.

Fueled by this strategic priority, STAC has provided innovative new scholarship and emergency grant programs— including providing every

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.

The proposal will overrule local zoning laws and will give every homeowner the right to create an apartment (“accessory dwelling unit”) in their home or on their property.

By inserting the proposal in the budget, the governor and radical lawmakers seek to avoid public scrutiny, legislative debate and a vote on a

I never listen to the lyrics. That blew my mind. To me, that’s like buying a car because you like the color, but the engine is shot.

And there lies the problem. The melody and beat are throwing the value of the words to the side like a stale piece of bread.

As a writer, I take lyrics abuse personally.

What I find more outrageous are radio and television producers who reign as the kings of lyrics abuse. These guys rip apart the true meaning of the song attempting to re-create it to suit their product. It’s an outrage. I remember a candy bar commercial from a few years ago using “Purple Haze” (a song about LSD) written by Jimmy Hendrix. The marketing geniuses twisted the theme around to fit their marketing idea whatever that was supposed to be.

Maybe I missed the connection between chocolate and

Why do so many people have absolutely no interest or curiosity in what’s being said by the artist? I asked around concerning this disturbing trend. Unfortunately, too often I received this the same response: “Who cares about what they’re saying if it’s a great beat?” Very lame. Seems people are too lazy to listen to words. Or afraid of hearing LONG ISLAND STORIES that The Beatles’ “Ticket to Thomas Kuntzmann Ride” wasn’t the nice pop song about a girl going to LSD. Possibly they both make see her boyfriend.

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.

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.

Marian Goodman 1921-2022

Marian H. Powers Goodman, a resident of Manhattan and formerly of Sands Point, passed in her sleep on January 17, 2022, five weeks shy of her 101st birthday.

A designer and artist, who, later in life turned to writing short stories and poetry, she retained a cheerful disposition and natural curiosity to the end. Born February 25, 1921, in Cleveland, Ohio, Marian was brought up by her grandparents. Her mother, Margaret L. Tonne Powers, died in childbirth. Her father, William A. 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.

COLUMN

Schreiber’s Thea Rabman Commits To UNC To Further Her Tennis Career This past September, all of Port Washington’s eyes were on the U.S. Open. Not for the big names, like Novak Djokovic or Naomi Osaka, but for Schreiber junior Theadora Rabman. Rabman was participating in the US Open Junior championship, in both singles and doubles, opening local eyes to the tennis star. While Rabman wouldn’t win any trophies that week, her performance there cemented her as a top tennis recruit, and is one of the proudest in her career.

“I am most proud of participating in the Junior U.S. Open and being given the opportunity to play in the Indian Wells tournament, where I got to play a girl who is ranked top 80 in the world, and even had two match points against her,” said Rabman.

Now, Rabman has another major accomplishment to be proud of. On Jan. 23, she announced her commitment to play collegiate tennis for the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, ranked second in the nation by the International Tennis Association. While she had plenty of options, Rabman had no doubt UNC was the right choice.

“The decision wasn’t that difficult because I’ve always seen UNC as a dream school since I was young. so I was really excited to be offered a scholarship there, it just felt right,” said Rabman.

Her tennis career began when she was young, and her commitment over the years has made her one of the most prolific athletes in Schreiber’s history. Rabman began playing varsity-level tennis as a seventh-grader, two years before even beginning high school. She would be a part of the team as it won the Nassau County and Long Island championships in 2019, and placed second in New York in the

BASKETBALL HIGHLIGHTS

singles as a freshman. In the spring of 2021, she would win the Girls 16 Easter Bowl National Championship, and this fall, Rabman drew national eyes in the U.S. Open Junior tournament. In the singles tournament, she would lose in the opening round after a tough draw against the top seed, but in doubles, she and partner Ariana Anazagasty-Puroo would win their first match before falling in the second round. Thea’s collection of accolades has led her to become the third-ranked tennis recruit in the nation, according to Babolat, a tennis equipment company that also ranks tennis recruits.

Being such a highly touted student-athlete has drastically altered Rabman’s high school experience.

She frequently would need to miss classes, coordinate with teachers and travel in order to continue her pursuit of a tennis career.

“My tennis career has completely changed my high school experience in many ways,” said Rabman. “It requires a lot of traveling, communication with various coaches and teammates, and the ability to adapt to new environments, people and challenges.”

These constant twists and turns, while certainly difficult, have all been worth it for Rabman. Her commitment to tennis will allow Rabman to

continue playing the sport she loves at her dream school, and has also shaped her as a person.

“I think that in the past few years being an athlete has caused me to improve not only my tennis skills,

but my social skills, independence and overall maturity,” said Rabman.

“Being so involved in tennis requires a lot of responsibility, so I would definitely say it has shaped a lot of who I am as a person today.”

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 dir 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.

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.

bravo, heidi!

“

We are so proud to have Heidi Karagianis on our team, and are so lucky to work with her. Her work ethic and tenacity are unrivaled, and her passion for helping people are the reasons that she is consistently ranked in the top echelon at Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty.

Although 2021 presented a new set of challenges, and was highly competitive, she quickly adapted and ranked

#6 Company-Wide!

Heidi also secured her position again as Daniel Gale's Top Agent in the Port Washington and Sands Point Market Area.

An incredible achievement, bravo!
