Herricks High Seniors Named Regeneron Science Talent Scholars

Honorees demonstrated superior skills while contributing to real-life research

ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF

editors@antonmediagroup.com

Herricks High School seniors Ashley Lam, Jeylin Lee, and Dheyala Simrin have been named in the top 300 scholars in the Regeneron Science Talent Search 2023.

Started in 1942 as the Westinghouse Science Talent Search, the Regeneron Science Talent Search (Regeneron STS) recognizes and empowers our nation’s most promising young scientists who are developing ideas that could solve society’s most urgent challenges. Each year, nearly 1,900 students enter the Regeneron STS, which focuses on identifying, inspiring, and engaging the most promising scientists among the nation’s high school seniors.

As part of this year’s competition, Lam, Lee, and Simrin committed themselves to their individual research projects for eight weeks and dedicated another eight weeks to complete the submission of their original, independent research projects, essays and recommendations. The students also teamed up with professional labs and worked directly with and alongside mentors on their subjects of study.

Lam’s subject for the project was Environmental Engineering/Materials Science, focusing on water purification. During the past school year, Lam worked under the direction of Dr. Benjamin S. Hsiao and Jiajun Tian through the Simons Summer Research Program at Stony Brook University. Her project was titled, “Novel Zinc Oxide/Nanocellulose Composite as a Low-Cost Photocatalyst for Water Purification.”

As a Herrick High School press release explained: Many people worldwide lack access to clean water, which presents a need for cheap and sustainable materials for water purification. Scientists have recently become interested in creating materials that combine zinc oxide and nanocellulose for water purification. A recent study developed a new method to extract nanocellulose from plants that uses less chemicals, water, and electricity. Through Ashley’s study, she created a novel material that combines nanocellulose made using this new method and zinc oxide. Ultimately, Ashley concluded that this cheap and environmentally friendly material could potentially be applied to effectively remove methylene blue and other contaminants from water.

Lee’s subject area for the project was Medical/Data Science, and her mentor was Dr. Tim Duong through The Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center. Lee’s project was titled, “Diabetic Ketoacidosis Amongst COVID-19 Infected Individuals: A Retrospective Study of Incidence, Characteristics, Outcomes, and Risk Factors.”

According to a school press release: COVID-19 infection is known to induce or worsen diabetes. One dangerous complication of diabetes is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which occurs when the blood becomes too acidic. Lee investigated patients who developed DKA as a result of COVID-19 infection with the goals of identifying risk factors and characterizing outcomes (eg. death, serious illness, etc.) of this dangerous complication. To accomplish this, Jeylin extracted data from a hospital database of patient information, including 41,822 COVID+ patients. She then wrote a machine learning algorithm that used the data to generate a novel list of risk factors for developing DKA. In conclusion, she found these risk factors might help doctors notice the development of DKA in COVID-19 patients earlier, and minimize dangerous outcomes, including death.

Last but certainly not least, Simrin focused on Behavioral and Social Science this school year. She did her work through

New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University, and was mentored by Alexander Harris. Simrin’s project was titled, “Characterizing Social Behaviors in Female Mice: A Novel Sex-Specific Model Using DeepLabCut and B-SOiD Unsupervised Machine Learning.”

For her project, Simrin took on fact that, in contemporary research, neuroscientists are still framing scientific understanding of behavior on predominantly male subjects. A school press release explained: Dheyala aimed to characterize the social behaviors of female mice to improve our knowledge of sex-specific behavior in females. She used pre-recorded videos of female mice accompanied by either an empty enclosure or an enclosed male or female mouse [and] tracked the poses of each female subject using novel unsupervised machine learning programs DeepLabCut and B-SoiD, from which she obtained 17 behaviors performed by the subjects. She ultimately concluded that females preferred the presence of other females, contradicting previous studies that found females to prefer opposite-sex interactions. This research is relevant to mental disorders that exhibit sex-specific behavioral symptoms, such as depression. This novel method of behavioral analysis may assist in sex-specific diagnosis and pave the way for more effective and specialized treatments across demographics.

During their four years of high school, all three students have participated in Herricks’ Science Research Program, and have expressed a desire to pursue a career in science.

Caitlin Etri, Science Research Program Coordinator for Herricks, explained in a phone interview with Anton Media Group that she’s had the privilege of knowing these scholars since at least sophomore year, and has seen tremendous skill as well as enthusiasm toward science and the arts from the three scholars.

“I know that they get a lot of accolades for the work that they’ve done and how far they’ve gone in the program, but it’s also important to place emphasis on who they are as people.”

“They’re all very genuine individuals who have an immense love and appreciation for science, but they’re also kind individuals,” Etri said. “I also think one of the reasons they were chosen was [who they are] holistically; they also tutor in the sciences, are good peers and friends, and participate in music, art, or dance as well.”

“To get to this point in the program takes so much determination and commitment, but you also have to love it, too. And they just hold tremendous promise in the futures for where they’re going to go with the sciences, and their contributions to science, and I’m very proud of them for that.”

At the Feb. 2 Herricks Board of Education meeting, the board congratulated and recognized Herricks High School seniors Ashley Lam, Jeylin Lee and Dheyala Simrin for being named in the top 300 scholars in the Regeneron Science Talent Search 2023. (Courtesy of Herricks High School)

“Give Kids A Smile Day” Provides Dental Screenings To 1,500 Children

More than 360 volunteers and 100 dentists provided free dental screenings, fluoride treatments and oral hygiene instruction to 1,500 underserved and special needs children as part of Nassau County Dental Society’s 20th annual “Give Kids a Smile Day.”

Dentists, hygienists and other medical professionals from Northwell Health, Stony Brook University Dental School, Touro Dental School, NYU Dental School, Hofstra Public Health and Brooklyn One participated in “Give Kids A Smile Day” for children ages 4-9 on February 10 at the Cradle of Aviation Museum to mark National Children’s Dental Health Month.

With Mr. Met in attendance, Nassau County students from Freeport, Hempstead, Hicksville, Lawrence, Roosevelt and Uniondale school districts received needed attention from a medical professional along with the knowledge and tools to follow through with proper oral hygiene. The children were also provided a bag that included a toothbrush, toothpaste, hat, gloves, sweat shirt, socks, hot chocolate and oatmeal packets.

“This is the 20th anniversary Give Kids a Smile Day and it was

the largest and most successful one yet,” said Joseph Brofsky, DMD, section head of pediatric dentistry at Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New Hyde Park and cochair of Nassau’s Give Kids A Smile Day. “For the first time we offered sealants on many of the children to protect their teeth from cavities. That’s 1,500 smiling kids.”

The event, which puts the focus on children’s access to oral care, is part of an initiative by the ADA Foundation to help underserved children. Specially trained dentists also assisted in providing dental exams for children from the Henry Viscardi School, an Albertson, Long Island-based school for children with severe physical disabilities.

Up to 25 percent of children examined were referred for further dental work. Area dentists will offer free dental care for children diagnosed at the event, Dr. Brofsky said.

“Toothaches are the leading cause of missed school days. Nationwide, children miss over 51 million hours of school time each year because of dental issues,” said Eugene G. Porcelli, DDS, executive director of the Nassau County Dental Society. “Our program aims

to address this problem by creating a positive first dental experience for many of these children, identifying children with acute dental needs and getting them treatment, and providing sealants to help prevent dental decay in the first place. Today we put over 1,500 of Nassau’s children on the road to better dental health.”

This year’s event sponsors are the ADA Foundation, Henry Schein, Inc., the Nassau Academy of Dentistry, the Long Beach Lions Club, JetBlue, Northwell Health, Farmland Fresh Dairies, Fidelis Care, Liberty Dental, ProHEALTH, Project Accessible Oral Health, Sports Depot, Bagel Plaza of Merrick, and Patken Photography.

“The Give Kids A Smile program exemplifies Henry Schein’s commitment to expanding access to care to those who need it most,” said Harris Lieberman, regional manager, Henry Schein Dental.

“We are honored to support the Nassau County Dental Society and its volunteers in their efforts to help set children in our community on the path of good oral health and overall health.”

Low-income children suffer twice as much with dental decay as those from more affluent families,

which remains the most common chronic childhood disease. Untreated dental disease contributes to thousands of children nationwide who can’t eat or sleep properly, pay attention in school or smile. Without relief, they face lifelong health problems – not just dental health, but overall health – and difficulty getting good jobs, to say nothing of the lack of confidence and self-esteem caused

by their inability to smile. High school students from Chaminade, Freeport, Long Beach, Lynbrook and Barry Tech served as volunteers at the Cradle of Aviation event. The “Give Kids A Smile” event has helped more than five million children nationwide – about 17,000 locally – since the event began in 2003.

An Open Opportunity: African American Whalers Found Freedom At Sea

AMANDA OLSEN

aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

While it’s hard to imagine now, hunting whales has been practiced for millennia. Native Americans on Long Island utilized stranded whales to feed whole communities. The Basque region of Spain was the first to establish a commercial whaling practice, and they dominated the industry for more than five centuries. Commercial whaling in North America began almost as soon as the continent was colonized. Sag Harbor was the principle whaling port, and actually grew to be one of the most productive in the world before fire devastated the town.

Products derived from whales included corsets, combs, oil for lamps and machines, wax for candles, cosmetics, and even margarine. High demand meant that the industry was always in need of capable people to man the ships. This included people from all races, often in high numbers.

Estimates put the number of people of color employed on whaling crews between one quarter and one third. It was the first integrated industry and one that allowed people to advance based on their abilities. In fact, it was common for people escaping slavery to use the sea as their means of reaching a free state. Nomi Dayan, executive director of the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum, sheds some light on how African-American whalers found agency and freedom doing this dangerous work.

“Whaling employed the most diversified workforce, among other occupations at the time. So the question is, why would whalers of color endure hard work and awful living conditions, sometimes poor pay and serious danger with every whale hunt? They chose to work at sea because their options on land were limited, and for some this was a way to autonomy.”

The first black Americans to be treated as citizens were sailors during the 19th century. Because the US feared that the British would capture their sailors, they gave them something called a seaman’s protection certificate. It was an early version of a passport. American sailors carried this document as proof of citizenship. So for black mariners, there was nothing else like this at the time. And so this was very important for African Americans before they were officially defined as citizens. People used these documents as proof that they were sailors in order to escape slavery.

Many of the whaling captains and ship owners were Quaker. Tolerance is one of the

core tenants of the Quaker belief, making them open to hiring people of all races, including African Americans. The other side of this practice is their need for plentiful, cheap labor. “So it was a marriage of this ideal and this need African Americans also who were escaping slavery, but quickly disappear on the waterfront… especially for people in maritime trades, in a few days you could disappear.” Dayan said.

In whaling there was opportunity for people facing work discrimination on land and people escaping slavery. On the other hand, Black whalers faced racial barriers to advancement. People of the same rank were paid the same, regardless of their race. They also slept in the same quarters and ate the same food. This meant that all greenhands, whatever their ethnicity, were housed together, performed the same duties, and

ate the same quality of food. That being said, agents did tend to lump black whalers into service-based positions. According to Dayan, “agents often would make a decision based on how someone looked into what kind of job they would be cast for. So the majority of black seamen worked as green hands, a low rank on the ship, or just a general seaman. Some were cooks and stewards, which paid a little bit better but didn’t necessarily build a career. Some whalers of color did become mates. It was very rare for an African American whaler to become Captain.”

There are examples of Captains of color, such as William T. Shorey on the West coast in the waning days of whaling. He was often called the Black Ahab, after the character in Moby Dick. Probably the most famous local whaler is Pyrrhus Concer of Southampton. He was born about 1814. His mother was enslaved and he was sold as a slave at the age of five for $25. In his late teens he became

a whaler and willing to greatly improve his economic situation. He also inherited some land, which he was able to maintain for the rest of his life. Some of the artifacts from his home are on display in the museum.

Because of the inherent nature of life on a ship, it was essential for whalers to get along. People lived in close quarters aboard ship. Each person had a duty to perform, and all of those jobs had to fit together in order for things to run smoothly. “For the most part, it was in everyone’s interest to work together in a collegial, friendly manner, because the more whales you caught in the shortest amount of time, the sooner you were going to go home and the faster you were going to get paid. The majority of whaling voyages went without conflict; people kept personal tensions and prejudices check.”

There are some records of tense interactions, but these seem to be resolved fairly quickly. In one instance, a crewmember used a racial slur aboard ship and was flogged for it.

Another wrote in his diary that he was surprised to see a ‘colored man’ giving orders. These individuals had some personal conflicts, but after surviving a severe storm, they came out with more respect for each other. Dayan confirmed that “the majority of whale ships sailed with everyone wanting to work together and get the job done. Everyone’s profit depended on it, but there are examples of how your race did influence how shipmates interacted.”

Studying the racial identities of whalers can be difficult, primarily because ship’s records did not make note of an individual’s race. Even the census records of this time kept track of those demographics, so it is sometimes possible to trace a whaler’s background that way. Dayan pointed out that many whaling ships simply recorded the person’s date of birth and appearance. “you’d have your place of birth, some noted your skin color and your hair type. So that’s often a first clue researchers look for: dark. (Their) hair could be curly or dark. Often we do find it’s not completely reliable because it was up to the person’s personal discretion. Often one whaler would be listed as dark on one voyage, tan on another. So it’s a clue but you can’t trust it.”

From Sea to Shining Sea: Whalers of the African Diaspora Special Exhibition will run at Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum through 2024. The Museum is located at 301 Main Street, Cold Spring Harbor.

Long Island Elite Selects Paws Of War As 2023 Charity Partner

Long Island Elite, a 501(c)(3) not-forprofit organization dedicated to fostering the growth and development of local Long Island business professionals and emerging regional leaders, has announced they have selected Nesconset-based Paws of War as its 2023 charity partner.

Paws of War is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to train and place service animals and companion dogs to support and provide independence to U.S. military veterans that suffer from the emotional and physical effects of war. The non-profit also provides animal rescue for U.S. troops who have befriended an animal while serving overseas.

The funds raised by Long Island Elite in 2023 will give Paws of War additional resources to further its mission of “helping both ends of the leash” by providing services to veterans, first responders and their service or companion animals. These activities will support the mental well-being of individuals in Paws of War programs, giving back to the heroes who have sacrificed so much for this country. Having service or companion animals has proven to be an effective way to enhance mental well-being and reduce veteran suicides. LIE volunteers and funds

raised will also assist in rescuing dogs and cats and pairing them with local heroes in the community.

“This partnership between Long Island Elite and Paws of War will enhance the lives of veterans and lead to numerous dogs

A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT FOR LONG ISLAND

Sands, the world leader in developing integrated resorts, is proposing a multi-billion-dollar investment at the current site of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. This groundbreaking, world-class hospitality and entertainment project will be transformational for the Long Island economy, creating thousands of quality union jobs and generating millions of dollars in tax revenue.

A HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY FOR LONG ISLAND BUSINESSES

Sands is committed to developing long-term partnerships with local businesses. For Long Island-based manufacturers, distributors, wholesale suppliers and other companies servicing the hospitality and entertainment industries, the Sands project will be an unprecedented opportunity to grow your business and be part of what will surely become an iconic centerpiece of the Long Island landscape.

finding their forever homes. We will also raise awareness in our community about Paws of War’s important mission. Our members will see first-hand the challenges that veterans and first responders face, especially those experiencing the effects of PTSD and

the positive impact dogs and cats will provide. As a U.S. Marine veteran, I personally understand the challenges and hardships that our veterans and first responders face every day,” said Frank Morizio, Jr, Long Island Elite President.

During the partnership year, members of Long Island Elite will volunteer their time at Paws of War’s events where they will learn more about the organization, including the cost of training service animals, the challenges and issues related to abandoned and mistreated animals, animal adoption and rescue and the importance of veterans and first responders gathering to share their stories, comraderie and mutual support.

“Many veterans and first responders are struggling with PTSD and other mental health challenges. The support and funds that LIE will provide to us will go toward improving the lives of these heroes and at the same time, find homes for so many dogs that need them,” said Robert Misseri, co-founder of Paws of War.

SANTOS WATCH

Money Is A Drag

For Santos, like Trump, sums of all sizes raised (oft-ignored) alarms

jburns@antonmediagroup.com

In many ways, public criticism of U.S. Representative George Santos is reminiscent of that faced by Donald Trump before he was elected president, however one may feel about either politician.

In Trump’s run-up to the 2016 presidential election, news reports piled up about various, substantial financial oddities in his business dealings, just as Santos has faced claims of varying financial missteps-to-misdeeds. Setting aside such humdrum behaviors as not paying taxes, using an organization’s resources for seemingly private purposes, or failing to pay one’s debts because one is unable, both men have been linked to instances of monetary lawlessness that seem to be simultaneously memorable and, perhaps, quickly forgotten.

For example, as Linda Qiu explained for PolitiFact in early 2016: “Sometime between 1979 and 1980, Trump hired a contractor to demolish an old building in midtown Manhattan to make way for Trump Tower. The contractor signed on

workers from a local union and, to meet Trump’s tight deadline, also brought on 200 [non-union] undocumented laborers from Poland dubbed the “Polish Brigade” ... [who] were off-the-books, working 12-hour shifts seven days a week for $4 to $5 an hour, with no overtime. Some workers were never paid what they were owed.”

Reporting on Santos has brought up allegations of financial misbehaviors that seem to have a similarly uncouth, even outlandish quality to them (said with all due respect to alleged or substantiated victims).

This month, for example, Jacqueline Sweet reported for Politico that Santos seems to have duped Amish Country dog-breeders

in Pennsylvania out of more than $15,000 in 2017. According to Politico, Santos cancelled a number of checks to the sellers, claiming that the checkbook in question had been stolen; he later had a lawyer expunge the charges filed against him in Pennsylvania, and the same lawyer told Politico that she no longer believes Santos’ story. As Sweet reported, “Just days after $15,125 in checks were made out for ‘puppies,’ according to the memo lines, Santos held an adoption event at a Staten Island pet store with his animal rescue charity Friends of Pets United, according to the store’s Instagram account and a person who attended the event.”

The men’s behaviors in their personal lives have also garnered a similar amount of attention in comparison to their financial ones, in many circles — fundamentally different though (most of) these publicized behaviors have been.

Months after audio was leaked of Trump bragging that he could grab any woman’s lower genetalia with impugnity, on the day of his inauguration, half a million people marched in protest of his treatment of women, among others, in the nation’s capital alone.

For Santos, meanwhile, despite growing evidence of a wide range

• After reports that Santos stole $3,000 from Richard Osthoff, a formerly homeless veteran who was fundraising to save his service dog, Legislator Joshua Lafazan started a GoFundMe to benefit Paws of War, a Long Island based organization that helps train and place service dogs for veterans. Overall, donations to this fundraising push have now topped $27,000.

COLUMNS Governor Hochul’s Misguided Housing Plan

Governor Kathy Hochul has proposed a housing plan, which, if adopted, will have drastic consequences for our county and communities. The Hochul plan seeks to create 800,000 new housing units across the state in the next 10 years, with a special focus on Long Island. For Long Island, the target is for 38,218 new units from 2023-2025.

Governor Hochul’s proposal would require local municipalities to rezone properties within one half-mile of a transit station. The new zoning must allow a minimum of 50 units per acre. The half-mile radius would be measured from the station itself or station parking lots. The proposal would prohibit restrictions on height as well as reasonable requirements relating to property line setbacks, lot coverage and minimum parking spaces. In my legislative district, that would include communities that fall within these parameters involving the Great Neck and Manhasset train stations and have a ripple effect that would directly impact nearby residents in communities such as Great Neck Village, Kensington,

LEGISLATIVE REPORT

Thomaston, Great Neck Estates, Great Neck Plaza, Manhasset and others throughout Nassau County.

The state would also establish percentage increases for housing for each town that local leaders unanimously say are unrealistic in the three-year time period. If a town or village fails to meet its target, the state will impose a process whereby developers could appeal the denial of a local municipality to a “state housing approval board,” which could overrule the local determination.

In other words, decisions with respect to housing proposals would no longer be made by local elected officials but would be made by bureaucrats appointed by the state. Furthermore, the proposed housing plan would forbid review of development projects under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), thereby eliminating the evaluation of important factors such as traffic, air quality and any other significant adverse environmental impacts.

For generations, residents have left the city and come to the suburbs for the quality of life, open space, decreased housing density,

good schools and safe streets. The quality of life in our communities has remained consistent for decades, primarily because residents demanded policies that protected against overdevelopment.

Long Island relies upon a fragile sole source aquifer for our drinking water. Increasing housing density will endanger that water supply, overcrowd our schools and increase strains on our critical infrastructure from sewage treatment to the supply of gas and electric to fire and police services. There will be more cars on the road and more congestion.

In fact, Long Island has been

gradually transforming with more transit-oriented development in communities like Mineola, Patchogue, Farmingdale and others. Rather than accept this gradual progress, the state will force a radical transformation. The “one size fits all” approach ignores the fact that each community is different and what makes sense in one community makes no sense in another.

I have joined with other elected officials throughout our region to oppose this ill-conceived plan and will fight against it every step of the way.

ENTERTAINMENT & LIFESTYLE

Moody Blue John Lodge’s Fave Pianists

which made some noise on the UK charts and recruited Edge to contribute some pre-recorded bits for the forthcoming Days of Future Passed Tour.

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

John Lodge may best be known as the long-time bassist for the now defunct-Moody Blues, but for the Birmingham, England native, his music fuse was lit hearing early rock and roll piano players.

“I became a bass player because I used to listen to juke boxes and the left-hand side was where you’d hear the piano—it was a driving force on the lefthand side of the piano—that’s what drove me,” he recalled.

Currently on the road commemorating the release of the Moody’s seminal 1967 sophomore outing Days of Future Passed, Lodge is keen to keep his former group’s legacy alive although the band was declared defunct following the retirement of late founding member Graeme Edge in 2018.

“That’s really important for me to say that the Moody Blues is part of my life,” he said. “It is my life. I’m still a Moody Blue now.”

The pandemic did much to disrupt the routines of touring musicians and Lodge was no exception. Having released 2019’s B Yond, his most recent solo outing, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer saw the tour grind to a halt in March 2020 when the world went into lockdown. A consummate optimist, Lodge was undeterred, going so far as to learn Garageband software, recorded the single “In These Crazy Times,”

“I had this idea of celebrating the anniversary [of Days] so I went to see Graeme and he really liked if I would record him reciting the poetry [on the album],” Lodge recalled.

“I told him I wanted to film him as well, so he could be an integral part of Days of Future Passed because, ‘Breathe deep, the gathering gloom’ is historic and gigantic. He said he would love to because he wanted to keep the Moody Blues music alive as well, just like I do. I told him he’d always have a place on stage with me. I recorded and filmed him and he’ll be featured on stage as well. As you know, Graeme passed away, so he never got to see it. But his family will and it will be great.”

With his 10,000 Light Years band in tow, Lodge promises a two-part show with the early set consisting of Moody Blues classics and the second half of the evening being a presentation of Days of Future Passed in its entirety. Not unlike his idol, Motown bass-playing great Jamie Jamerson, Lodge will be front and center playing the same Fender Precision bass he purchased at his local music shop on a Saturday afternoon when he was only 16. In the meantime, he was happy to share some of those piano-playing greats who inspired him around that same time.

Little Richard

(December 5, 1932 to May 9, 2020)

“What really resonated with me from Little Richard were the riffs coming off the piano and the band he played with, which I believe was put together by Dave Bartholomew, who did the same for Fats Domino.”

Fats

Domino

(February 26, 1928 to October 24, 2017)

“Fats had a way of playing that English people didn’t understand. It was really self-grown. Pianists from the South were born with it and I don’t know how you learn that. I had to learn it from listening to records.”

Johnnie Johnson

(July 8, 1924 to April 13, 2005)

“I almost forgot to include Johnnie. Chuck Berry said he learned all his riffs from his pianist.”

Jerry Lee Lewis

(September 25, 1935 to October 28, 2022)

“What made him so unique was the outrageousness of him that was great and a way of playing that was just phenomenal. He just kept rocking. Whatever he was doing, that left hand kept going. It was exciting to watch somebody like that playing the piano. You have to realize that we didn’t have anybody in England that could do that. When he came over to England it was like setting the flame alive for rock and roll piano for me.”

HOME & DESIGN

Home Composting

There are a number of ways you can get involved in composting from home, from backyard composting, to an indoor vermicomposting bin, subscribing to a local food scraps collection service and participating in a food scraps drop-off program in your local community.

Composting materials such as yard trimmings and food scraps reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills or combustion facilities. Preventing organics from landfills reduces the production of methane, a power greenhouse gas. Adding compost to the soil provides valuable nutrients, improves soil structure, adds beneficial soil micro-organisms, suppresses certain plant diseases, reduces the need for fertilizers and pesticides and helps prevent soil erosion and nutrient run-off.

Composting at home is easy; all it takes is a little time, effort and patience. After plants and animals die, they decompose naturally as bacteria and fungi go to work breaking down the remains. Once decayed, the original material is no longer recognizable and takes the form of a rich, dark, soil-like substance. When humans help this process along it is called composting and the product is called compost.

This lovely home located in a cul-de-sac at 4 Kensington Ct. in the Estate Section of Garden City South sold on Dec. 16 for $1,260,000. This home is a center-hall Colonial with an eat-in-kitchen and a formal family room with a fireplace. There are two laundries, one in the basement and one on the first floor. The second floor has a master bedroom with a bathroom and heated floors. There are also three generous-sized bedrooms and heated flooring in the hall bathroom. The basement is finished with tile flooring. There is an egress and a cedar walk-in closet. All bathrooms are newer. The home has new windows, central air conditioning, central vacuum system and a new furnace. This home is near shopping and the train station.

The bacteria and fungi that do most of the work must have four things to thrive, which are captured in this simple rhyme: Making compost takes some care; add greens, browns, water and air.

Greens are your nitrogen

source and include food scraps (such as fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, tea bags and old bread), fresh grass clippings, fresh weeds and manure. Browns are your carbon source and include fallen leaves, dry weeds, shredded paper, wood chips and straw. Browns provide structure for the pile, allowing air to flow more freely.

Compost microorganisms need oxygen! While not necessary, turning (or mixing) the pile twice a month will add more air and speed up breakdown.

Composting works best with the right amount of moisture. If the pile is too wet, add some leaves, shredded newspaper or sawdust. If it’s too dry, add water.

Fruit, vegetables, coffee grounds, indoor plant trimmings, yard trimmings and leaves are all suitable for the compost pile. Do not compost meat, fish, bones, dairy and oil. These things attract animals and do not compost well. Do not compost plants that spread through stems (rhizomes) or roots (ivy). Also, do not compost cat litter and dog feces. These contain disease organisms that remain after composting.

Great Neck Native To Show Belgian Breed At Prestigious Westminster

BY CHRISTY HINKO chinko@antonmediagroup.com

His official name is “BISS GCHS CH Takishan Rockin’ The Night Monvieux,” or “Rocky” for short. Rocky is a Belgian Sheepdog, a medium-sized herding dog, bred to show and he will do just that in the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Flushing Meadow Park on May 8.

“We co-owned him with a very good friend who recently passed away,” co-owner and breeder Bruce Freedman said. “It was Cathie’s lifetime dream was to have a dog that went to Westminster and could exceed in both herding and in show. He has all the potential of his uncle, who is a dual champion in both of those categories.”

Rocky finished the year in second place in breed points ranking for his breed in the herding group, but he is now currently in first place in the Belgian Shepherd breed.

“It’s not just that we are showing at Westminster; we were invited to show at Westminster,” Freedman said. “Only five dogs in each breed get invited.”

Cathie Rossman’s daughter, Irene, now co-owns the dog with Freedman and his wife, Lori Goldstrom.

Rocky has been on the road with his handler, Karyn Cowdrey, for more than 30 shows this past year.

“He’s got great movement and great conformation,” Freedman said.

This will be Freedman’s first show at Westminster.

“I knew when I was eight years old that I wanted to show a dog at Westminster,” Freedman said. “Before I was born, my family had dogs that showed at Westminster.”

He began more than 40 years ago training one of his first dogs, an Irish Setter, hand signals.

“He was a high-level obedient, show and field trial dog, which is a rare package,” Freedman said. “When he passed away, I wanted to really get involved in show and obedience.”

His next dog was a German Shepherd, who he recalled reminded him of Paul Marcy’s dog, Blackie, a lifelong friend from Great Neck, as is Freedman.

“I always really loved that dog; he was a big, bold black and tan German Shepherd, who was very obedient and always

listened to Paul’s dad like, ‘Yes sir!’”

Freedman was 25 years old when he got his show shepherd.

“From what I knew of Blackie, my inspiration was that I could not have a dog that was going to be big and powerful and not have him really under command,” Freedman said.

Following the passing of his German Shepherd, Freedman then took on his first Belgian Shepherd. Freedman and Goldstrom are now on their sixth generation of breeding Belgian Tervurens, the most elegant and agile of the three Belgian sheepdog breeds.

“My wife and I met while walking our dogs one day,” Freedman recalled. “We have had Belgian Tervurens now for 28 years.”

Freedman is originally from Great Neck. After high school he began to wander west and eventually ended up in California where he has since made his home.

“I have been on the board of directors and/or the president of the Belgian Tervuren Club of Southern California for 22 years,” Freedman said. “I am very active in the national club, Belgian Sheepdog Club of America (BSCA).”

Words Of Advice

Freedman shared some constructive advice for dog lovers who are interested in getting into dog breeding and showing.

“Don’t go it alone,” Freedman said. “That is first. Find an AKC Breeder of Merit, have them mentor you.” Here are some of his tips and things to consider:

• Determine what breed of dog you want.

• What activities do you really enjoy?

• What are you looking to accomplish?

• Read about breed construction and movement.

• Know your breed.

• Know the standard of the breed.

• Know what your dog was originally bred to do.

• Join a local breed club.

“There are a lot of dogs that, because we are no longer an agrarian society, no longer primarily do what they were originally designed to do, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t still have the instinct to do it,” Freedman said. Visit www.akc.org, find the national club for your breed and ask for referrals.

Sienna currently trains at the Andrew Stergiopoulos Ice Rink and

is coached by Shannon Lenihan and Kristina Layton.

“It was wonderful to go to Lake Placid this year as 30 members of the Great Neck Skating Club competed and many earned medals,” said Sienna.

Sienna started skating lessons at five years old with the Great Neck Skating School. She then joined the Great Neck Synchronized Skating team which she was a part of for five years. While on the team, they competed in the tri-state area and earned a silver and gold medal at the Empire State Winter Games.

“I just love to skate,” said Sienna. “I really enjoyed the team because I developed so many friendships, and I am still friends with many fellow ice skaters today. We are like a big family.”

“I had been working on [the axel jump] for about two years, and it had gotten really frustrating,” said Sienna. “I put in a lot of hard work, so finally getting it was a big accomplishment.”

As a dedicated figure skater and first year high school student, balancing her sport and school work can be difficult for Sienna. But Sienna’s commitment and love for her sport keeps her motivated to work hard at balancing her weekly schedule.

“I try to practice at least five days a week,” said Sienna. “I have to assess my homework each day and change my ice skating schedule as needed. I also have private lessons three times per week. It’s never easy.”

Sienna is invited to represent New York State at the State games of America 2024 in San Diego, where she will compete against skaters across the nation. Congratulations,

A memorable moment from Sienna’s figure skating career is when she landed her first axel. The axel is one of the oldest and most difficult jumps performed in figure skating.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll do the thing you feel is right. You’d prefer the transaction was also punctuated with a receipt -- some kind of proof of completion implying that indeed the right choice was made. Such assurances are rare in life, but you can trust your inner knowing and the new consciousness that’s informing your next move.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). e optimist thinks this is the best day ever, and the pessimist fears this is so. You’re the realist who defers judgment and, furthermore, sees commentary as an unnecessary expense of energy. You’re too busy handling life, which you’ll do with grace, strength, agility and humor. Truly you’re a rock to your people.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Imagine you are meeting your host for the rst time in your life and the last time, too. e challenge is to absorb everything you can about a person in a relaxed and casual way. In paying attention to others, a very attractive part of you is highlighted -- the part that is real, engaged, attentive and intelligent.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). In a world where possibilities are endless and things can go so many directions, there must be a reason they went one way and not the other. You’re intent on solving a problem. You’ll start by eliminating distractions, isolating the variables, focusing on the trouble source and experimenting to see what heals best.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). ere are those who will create drama to get their needs met, more than likely because they don’t know another way to do it. To avoid drama you’ll either avoid the person or try to sense and meet their need. ere’s no right answer, only the one that better suits your overall goals and purposes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve come to crave knowledge that adds a layer of interest to the ordinary world. e bird, the tree and the house encountered on your drive home are either common sights or endless sources of wonder, depending on how much you know about them. is week brings bright bursts of illumination.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). ese unique, unrepeatable moments. ere will never be a second chance to savor the one you’re in. But is it really possible to meld completely with every sensation and still function in the modern world? You’ve a schedule to keep, and people depend on you. You’ll be present to many levels of reality at once this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Why do we dream? Even as humankind explores the outer reaches of space, the complexities of our own minds are still equally mysterious, with multiple theories on even the most common aspects of our lives. You’ll be struck this week by the beautiful complexity of common things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). ere are many ways to make sure everything ows smoothly without a hitch. One is to rehearse encounters and plan for various contingencies. Another is to release your expectations. If anything that happens is acceptable, nothing could go wrong. You’ll try di erent approaches to nd what ts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If being liked depends on giving a good performance, you’ll pull it o , but the cost will be high and the reward will be acceptance of a heightened version of yourself. You’re better o when you show up authentically and tolerate whatever happens. is is a way to make true and wonderful friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). e root of the word “sorcery” is “sors,” the Latin word for “fate.” On the other side of the magic wand’s wave, it seems the transformation was always destined to happen. But in the thick of a determined e ort, it seems things could go a lot of ways or not at all. e work is your magic and the magic is your work.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You believe things can be better and you’ll make it so, though the way is not straightforward. You’ve tried many things that just didn’t work, at least not to your standard. It’s made you brave. You have the courage to try something new. Work in private and share the results when you’re ready.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You are deeply loyal and do not expect those loyalties to pay o , but oh, how they do this year. e accolades you receive are meaningful not because you love the attention but because they allow you to be in a better position to serve others. Entertaining relationships are featured, and you’ll love how the ride surprises you and energizes your choices. You’ll go in for a new look for your home or image -a creation that’s as fun to put together as it is to celebrate when it’s complete. You’ve a knack for investing in the spring, especially in education or in your team.

Diagnostic analysis

another diamond.

By Steve Becker

Declarer put up dummy’s ace, East contributing the ten, and was now in excellent position to judge West’s distribution. West had started with two spades, at least six hearts, most likely four diamonds to the jack and, therefore, at most one club.

So, after cashing the ten of spades, declarer played another spade. This forced East to discard a heart as South discarded a club. Now the ace-of-clubs play from dummy, on which West produced the eight, convinced South that West had started with 2-6-4-1 distribution.

This deal demonstrates how a declarer can take advantage of the knowledge he has acquired during the bidding and play to bring in a seemingly unmakeable contract.

West led the king of hearts against four spades and shifted to a low diamond at trick two. Declarer won with dummy’s king, cashed the ace of spades, catching West’s jack, and continued with a low spade to the queen. West took the king and led

This assumption was confirmed when declarer next led a diamond to his queen, forcing East to discard still another heart. South then ruffed the queen of hearts with dummy’s last trump as East followed with his last heart.

Everyone was down to three cards at this point. Dummy had the K-10-7 of clubs, East the Q-J-6 and South the 9-5 of clubs and seven of diamonds. The seven-of-clubs lead from dummy then compelled East to win and yield the last two tricks to dummy’s K-10, and the contract was home.

A Basketball Tradition Continues In Westbury

FRANK RIZZO

editors@antonmediagroup.com

Westbury High School hosted its 37th annual Reid-Robeson Classic on Saturday, Feb. 4. It is named after the Westbury High School basketball coach and administrator Martin “Bunky” Reid, who coached the boys varsity team to a state title, and the actor/singer/ civil rights activist Paul Robeson. It was Reid who originated the game and named it after the African American icon. After Reid’s death in 1993, his name was added to the tournament.

The afternoon of basketball saw the host Green Dragons take on Roslyn in boys junior varsity and varsity games while the girls varsity team faced off against Clarke. A large and enthusiastic crowd was on hand.

After staying close to Roslyn, with the score tied at the half, the varsity boys watched the visitors pull away for a 76-52 win. Rubens Destinoble (19) and Elon Sylvester (13) paced the scoring for the hosts.

The girls lost to Clarke 44-38. Kirina Azemar, who passed the 1,000-point milestone last month, scored 34 points for Westbury.

Before each game, a scholar athlete from both teams was recognized. The Westbury boys

A

varsity team honored Jordan Basnight. Girls varsity honors went to Ghavena Dorce. Andy Sedme was the boys junior varsity scholar athlete.
