Northwell Cardiothoracic Programs Among Elite DO YOU LOVE Bass Heart Hospital achieves superior quality ratings COMEDY?

our Northwell Health hospitals with cardiothoracic surgery programs—Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital at North Shore University Hospital (NSUH), Lenox Hill Hospital (LHH) in Manhattan, Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH) and South Shore University Hospital (SSUH) in Bay Shore—earned prestigious three-star quality overall ratings in the several cardiac surgical categories analyzed by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS). The latest report included data from 906 cardiothoracic surgical programs across the United States and Canada. The Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital (SABHH) at NSUH has achieved three-star overall quality ratings— the highest possible performance rating—in all five cardiac surgical categories analyzed by the STS. In addition, North Shore University Hospital was nationally recognized in eight specialties on U.S. News and World Report’s 2021-22 best hospital ranking including cardiology and heart surgery at the SABHH. “I applaud all our colleagues at North Shore, Lenox Hill, South Shore and Staten Island for achieving the highest quality ratings by the STS in their respective cardiac surgical categories,” Alan R. Hartman, MD, senior vice president and executive director of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at Northwell Health said. “The superior ratings reflect the expertise and excellent quality cardiac surgical outcomes we provide to patients in the region.” He added, “Achieving top performance in every cardiac surgery category, which the Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital did, is truly a significant accomplishment. The data demonstrates we are delivering the superior quality cardiac surgical care to our patients and provides critical information for people in our region to make informed decisions about their health care.” The STS star rating system is one of the most sophisticated and highly regarded overall measures of quality in health care, rating the benchmarked outcomes of cardiothoracic surgery programs in isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery, CABG + AVR surgery, isolated mitral valve replacement/repair (MVRR), and CABG + MVRR surgery.

The ratings are calculated using a combination of quality measures for specific procedures. NSUH, which also earned the highest marks across all five categories in 2019, one of only three in the nation to do so, scored highest in isolated AVR, which places them in the top 4 percent of all hospitals scored.

Valentines For Veterans

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilman Tom Hand and their colleagues in government, in collaboration with Blue Star Mothers NY14 and AMVETS Post 88, unveiled a “22 A Day” Memorial Sign in Klestinec Park. The sign raises awareness of mental health issues facing our hometown heroes and recognizes the estimated 22 veterans a day lost to suicide, as well as the toll it takes it on their loved ones. “Today and every day we must acknowledge that ‘Not All Wounds are Visible,’” Saladino said. “We must continue to work together to build awareness around, and remove the

stigma associated with, mental health and seeking treatment for veterans and civilians alike. Together, let’s raise awareness of the resources available to veterans facing depression and other mental health issues.” Veterans facing mental health issues should call the Veteran’s Crisis Line at 800-273-8255, ext. 1; if you have hearing loss, call TTY: 800-7994889.

William Casey: Controversial In Life And Death BY JOE SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

he Roslyn Grist Mill, standing innocently enough on Old Northern Boulevard, has witnessed plenty of history in its centuries-old existence. Real-life human beings make history. One of those was longtime Roslyn resident William J. Casey, who served as the heart of two great conflicts of the 20th century. Casey was born in 1913 in Elmhurst, Queens. As a youngster, his family moved to Bellmore. From there, he graduated from high school and later, Fordham University in 1934, while doing graduate work at the Catholic University of America and earning an LL.B from St. John’s University. The man never forgot his New York roots. Decades later, while serving as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) under the administration of Ronald Reagan, Casey found his job imperiled. His boss was James A. Baker III, Reagan’s chief of staff. Baker had already brought the hammer down on Secretary of State Alexander Haig. Would Casey be next? “That’s the last-----who will run me out of office,” Casey reportedly told friends. The man decided to “go Irish” on his Princeton-educated boss. Casey, after all, had a long friendship with Ronald Reagan and was the latter’s campaign manager for Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign. Casey was with Reagan in the primaries, while Baker managed the campaign of Reagan’s rival, George H.W. Bush. The man survived, serving as CIA chief from 1981 until December 1986, when he suffered a brain seizure that eventually cost him his life. Until the outbreak of World War II, Casey practiced law. No ordinary attorney, Casey came up with the idea of a tax shelter and how it might keep businessmen “...on the right side of New Deal regulatory legislation.” Casey was no ordinary veteran either. He served in the U.S. Navy until his discharge in 1944. His real adventure came in espionage. He worked for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner to the CIA, where he worked for the legendary William “Wild Bill” Donovan. Casey’s rise through the ranks was rapid. In time, he became head of its Secret Intelligence Branch. For his service, he was awarded the Bronze Star. As was the case with millions of

Ronald Reagan and William Casey share a laugh at the opening of new CIA headquarter in 1984. (Flicker/public domain) returning veterans, Casey prospered in the postwar boom. He stayed in Washington, working as special counsel to the United States Senate and later founded the Institute for Business Planning, where he wrote publications on business law. In the late 1950s, he went back to his legal practice, working as a partner at Hall, Casey, Dickler & Howley. In the late 1940s, he moved with his family to Roslyn Harbor, purchasing an estate, Locust Knoll, later renaming it Mayknoll. Casey lived there with his wife and daughter, plus extended family members. Well into the 2000s, daughter Bernadette lived there with her husband, Owen Smith. The desk Casey used as director of the CIA was placed in the family study. While practicing law, Casey became involved in both conservative and Republican Party politics. He drew up the incorporation papers for the National Review, the conservative bi-weekly founded in 1955 by William F. Buckley, Jr. A decade later, he ran a losing campaign for New York’s Third Congressional District. The defeat was not in vain. In 1968, Richard Nixon, who at the time was also a practicing attorney in New York, was elected president. In 1971, Casey joined the Nixon White House as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. He stayed in

vice presidential nominee. Reagan had hoped to name Gerald Ford as his running mate, a match that was not possible. After the election, Casey was awarded for his service by being named CIA director. He was no ordinary CIA chief, either. Reagan had real faith in Casey’s judgments, especially in light of his service during World War II. As director, Casey achieved cabinet-level status, something no other CIA director had enjoyed. Casey played a major role in formulating and executing the Reagan Doctrine of arming anti-communist guerillas in Angola, Cambodia, Afghanistan and Nicaragua. The debate over arming Nicaraguan contras was the most controversial foreign policy issue since Vietnam. In the early 1980s, when Congress passed the Boland Amendment, cutting off funding to the contras, Reaganites came up with other channels of securing funds to the guerilla forces. A special investigator deemed there was “no documentary evidence showing Casey knew about or approved the diversion [of funds.]” In May 1987, Casey died of a brain tumor at age 74. He was as controversial in death as he was in life. Casey became the subject of the Bob Woodward book Veil, in which the author claimed to have visited Casey’s deathbed to secure knowledge that the latter was involved in the transfer of funds, one that became a subject of great ridicule. The man could not rest in peace. His funeral service was held at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Roslyn Harbor, where the family had worshiped for decades. It was attended by both President Reagan and the First Lady and former President Nixon and was broadcast to the national television audience. Bishop John McGann used the opportunity to criticize the late Casey for supporting the contras. Casey did not live to see the fall of the Berlin Wall or the defeat of the Sandinistas in Nicaragua’s 1990 presidential campaign. As with the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, he was a man who played no small role in those Cold War outcomes.

Washington for the duration of the Nixon and Gerald Ford presidencies, serving also as Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, chairman of the Export-Import Bank of the United States and as a member of the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. After Ford’s defeat to Jimmy Carter in the 1976 election, Casey returned to New York. At age 63, his career was just beginning. In 1978, he co-founded the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank, which remains up and running 44 years later. That was just a prelude for more action in the jungle of American politics. In 1980, Casey, as noted, served as Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign manager. That came after some drama. Reagan’s original campaign manager was John Sears, who also was an advisor to President Nixon. Reagan loyalists such as Edwin Meese, Lyn Nofzinger and Michael Deaver became upset with Sears’s attempted dominance of their candidate. Sears had fired Deaver, but when he tried to dismiss Meese, he caught Reagan’s ire. When Reagan won the 1980 New Hampshire presidential primary, Sears was fired and Casey was appointed.

Dishwashers: Tips For Saving Energy

This brick house features four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. It has an eat-in-kitchen, a formal dining, a sun room, marble foyer and hardwood floors. It has a newly renovated kitchen, a new master bathroom and a new roof. The hot water heater and garage are also newley renovated. The home has a private park-like backyard and a rooftop terrace. It is close to shops and public transportation.

ou can save energy in your kitchen through more efficient use of your dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer, and other common appliances. Most of the energy used by a dishwasher is for water heating. The EnergyGuide label estimates how much power is needed per year to run the appliance and to heat the water based on the yearly cost of natural gas and electric water heating.

Dishwasher Water-Saving Tips

This Saddle Rock Estates home at 5 Brookbridge Rd. sold on Dec. 30 for $1,150,000. It is a bright brick, center-hall Colonial and features large formal entertaining rooms, as well as an open kitchen that flows seamlessly into the den, an over-sized primary suite with bath and two other bedrooms with bath. It is close to town, worship, shopping and transportation. Great Neck park district residents have access to Parkwood pool and sports complex, including ice skating and tennis and Steppingstone Waterfront Park.

• Check the manual that came with your dishwasher for the manufacturer’s recommendations on water temperature; many have internal heating elements that allow you to set the water heater in your home to a lower temperature (120 degrees). • Scrape, don’t rinse, off large food pieces and bones. Soaking or pre-washing is generally only recommended in cases of burned- or driedon food. • Be sure your dishwasher is full (not overloaded) when you run it. • Avoid using the “rinse hold” on your machine for just a few soiled dishes. It

uses three to seven gallons of hot water each use. • Let your dishes air dry; if you don’t have an automatic air-dry switch, turn off the control knob after the final rinse and prop the door open slightly so the dishes will dry faster.

Long-Term Savings Tip

When shopping for a new dishwasher, look for the ENERGY STAR label to find one that uses less water and energy than required by federal standards. They are required to use 4.25 gallons of water per cycle or less—older dishwashers purchased before 1994 use more than 10 gallons of water per cycle. —Courtesy of the U. S. Department of Energy

Hicksville Water District Prepared For Winter Main Breaks Expert district staff takes immediate action against freezing temperature issues

reezing temperatures that will pummel the area over the next couple of weeks of winter also means that the potential for water main breaks increases. As water main breaks can become a common occurrence during the frigid months, the hardworking employees of the Hicksville Water District (HWD) are prepared to respond in a timely manner to minimize any potential interruptions to water service. “Protecting our residents’ water supply is the utmost priority of the Hicksville Water District and repairing water main breaks is one of the most frequent and important ways in which we do so,” HWD Chairman Nicholas Brigandi said. “Our dedicated district staff is expertly trained and ready to tackle water main breaks at any time, especially during the winter when they are at their most frequent. We are proud of every member of our crew and thankful

that they stand ready to work for Hicksville residents, regardless of the weather or temperature.” Water main breaks are not caused by the water main pipes freezing over, since the depth of the pipes and movement of water within them prevents it. Main breaks are caused by the ground freezing and expanding, which creates more pressure and causes the pipe to break. These iron pipes can only take so much pressure from the ground before they break. The age of water mains also plays a role in their overall strength which is why the district tries to replace sections of water main every year. If a water main break does occur, a temporary water shutdown will happen in order to allow the pipes to be fixed. Customers will be notified ahead of the shutdown by a Hicks-

ville Water District employee. Due to the repairs, there may also be water discoloration or air in the pipes. The discoloration is not harmful, but it may stain laundry. If this discoloration occurs, allow cold water to run from a faucet or tub at the closest area to the incoming service line for a few minutes

Hometown Heroes Recognition Applications Now Available

Residents and businesses invited to sponsor hero banners to recognize veterans and active duty personnel

yster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Steve Labriola announced that the town will begin accepting applications for the 2022 Hometown Heroes’ Community Recognition Program. This initiative recognizes the service and sacrifice of the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces — both living and deceased — who are current or former Town of Oyster Bay residents. “My town board colleagues and I were amazed by the outpouring of support this program received in its first year by our incredible residents, businesses and local heroes,” LabriThe 2022 Hometown Heroes’ Community Recognition Program will accept applications until March 11.

ola said. “We are proud to return this important initiative to our communities and we look forward to further recognizing our veterans, active duty service members, and their families for their commitment to defend our freedoms and democracy.” Banners bearing the nominated individual’s name, rank, photograph and area of service will be unveiled throughout selected park facilities across the Town of Oyster Bay in the months leading up to Veterans Day in November 2022. Any interested individual or organization who would wish to sponsor a banner can remit $75 to sponsor the production of a banner. No profit is made from this program. Once the banners are displayed, the town will maintain the banners, and will remain on display until Veterans Day, where they will then be taken down to avoid any in-

clement winter weather and returned to the service family or their loved ones. Those who sponsored a banner last year are reminded to submit a new application in order to be included in the 2022 season. Applications must be received by March 11. Saladino added, “This is an especially meaningful way to honor those who bravely and selflessly served our nation. Together as a community we will honor the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who sacrificed a great deal for our nation, as well as many local veterans who continue to serve our community and their fellow veterans through advocacy efforts.” For more information on how to sponsor a banner, visit www.oysterbaytown.com/herobanners to download or submit an application or call 516-797-4121. —Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay

Youn Named Regeneron Finalist BY ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF editorial@antonmediagroup.com

ith the political class still anxious over the effects of the COVID-19 virus, public meetings, including the school board variety, remained closed in person to the public. Residents can Zoom and watch, but instead of lasting into all hours of the night, such meetings are now short and to the point. On Jan. 20, the Roslyn Board of Education held its first meeting of the new year. Virus or no virus, the district remains as consistent as ever in producing top students in competitive nationwide testing contests. At the meeting, board president Meryl Waxman Ben-Levy expressed her joy in having a Roslyn student named as a finalist in the Regeneron Science Talent Search 2022 program. In the course of her talk, the board president would not give the name of the student, only expressing her thanks to local parents and teachers for producing such students. District superintendent Dr. Allison Brown also didn’t say the name, but she did thank Dr. Allison Weseley, Roslyn School District’s Coordinator of Secondary Research, for spearheading such a program. That said, The Roslyn News will name the student. Hailee Youn, a Roslyn High School (RHS) senior, was named a finalist in the talent search, one described as “the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors.” The school board noted that Youn is among only 40 students, representing 37 schools across 19 states, selected from 300 scholars and 1,804 entrants to achieve the honor. “It’s extremely exciting and unexpected,” Youn said. “At first, I couldn’t believe it. I’m looking forward to joining this community of young scientists.” Youn’s study explored the effect

of descriptive norms and holding a minority or majority political viewpoint on citizens’ intention and responsibility to vote. Her research paper for this study was published in the Journal of Political Sciences and Public Affairs, an international peer-reviewed journal based in Brussels, Belgium. She also won second place in the WAC Lighting Research Association Fair for her study. The board reported that Youn’s interest in voter turnout stems, in part, from her summer work interning for the United States Law Enforcement Coalition. “Hailee is amazing in that she can think on multiple levels simultaneously; she can see both the big picture and the smallest details and weave them together seamlessly,” Weseley said. “She is a topnotch researcher and a wonderful and generous collaborator, who works to improve the research of her peers.” Finalists will participate in a weeklong competition from March 9-16, where they will undergo a rigorous judging process and compete for more than $1.8 million in awards. They will also have an opportunity to interact with leading scientists and share their research during a virtual “Public Day” event on March 13. Each finalist is awarded at least $25,000 and the top 10 awards range from $40,000 to $250,000. The top 10 Regeneron Science Talent Search 2022 winners will be announced during a live-streamed awards ceremony on March 15. The recognition wasn’t the only one for Youn—and three of her classmates. She was named a semifinalist earlier this month along with three other Roslyn High School seniors and received a $2,000 award. Roslyn High School was also awarded $2,000 for each of the semifinalists. The other semifinalists are Lindsay Fabricant, Maya Groothuis and Harshita Sehgal. The four were presented with Certificates of Recognition at a recent board meeting.

Making this achievement all the more remarkable is the fact that Basnet’s journey started in Nepal, where he arrived from on American shores as a non-English speaking six-year-old with his family, who were seeking political asylum. So it’s understandable the trepidation he had taking on this titanic a task. “Applying for something like this, especially from my background, you often have feelings of whether you’re eligible for something like this or if you even have a chance at [landing] something like this and you feel like you’re an impostor,” he said. “I have to really thank Dr. Stephen Lassonde, the director of the Office of Prestigious Scholarships and Fellowships here at Hunter College, who really was my biggest advocate and someone who was in my corner and pushed me to apply for this.

The Rhodes Grant annually bestows a free ride to 100 Rhodes Scholars globally who not only earn a master’s degree via a full-time postgraduate course load, but are also allowed the opportunity to pursue a doctorate at Oxford should the recipient choose to go down that path. Scholars also receive a monthly maintenance stipend to cover accommodation and living expenses. Lassonde had plenty to bank on regarding Basnet’s chances of landing this coveted postgraduate award. The Hunter College senior is a Political Science major with an International Relations concentration and minors in Asian American Studies, Music, and Human Rights at Roosevelt House, where he also earned a Certificate in Public Policy. In addition to serving as the president of Hunter’s Undergraduate Student Government, Basnet is currently an executive research intern at the Migration Policy Institute in Washington, a board member of the Roosevelt House Student Advisory Board and a founder of Project Nepal, an international outreach program that

connects American students with pupils at a Nepalese village school and encourages both correspondence and sponsorship. And he somehow managed to squeeze in an appearance as “The Count” in a December production of Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro for the Hunter College Opera Theatre Project. For Basnet, the seeds for all of this were planted when he moved to Hicksville in the middle of eighth grade from Woodside, Queens, graduating from Hicksville Middle School a few months later. Attending Hicksville High School, he found a world of possibilities opened to him. “Some of the greatest teachers I’ve had have been from Hicksville,” he said. “They were really the ones who really helped me develop my initial curiosities and some of the greatest challenges we’re facing today. Whether it was how my A.P. Government class or my English class had me looking at history or literature. It was about the way teachers in Hicksville like [Jacqueline] Purcell and [Michael] Biondi were having me think critically.” He added, “They gave me an early interest in research and writing, which is not necessarily common for a high school student to actually enjoy that process. But I really did because of that incredible education I had. I got to immerse myself in so many activities and find what was most interesting to me.”

Rhodes Scholar Key Qualities Rhodes Selection Committees are looking for young people of outstanding intellect, character, leadership and commitment to service. The four criteria which governed the selection of Rhodes Scholars in 1902 are still the guiding criteria for the selection of Rhodes Scholars: • Literary and scholastic attainments (academic excellence) • Energy to use one’s talents to the full (as demonstrated by mastery

in areas such as sports, music, debate, dance, theatre, and artistic pursuits, particularly where teamwork is involved) • Truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship • Moral force of character and instincts to lead and to take an interest in one’s fellow beings. —Courtesy of the Rhodes Trust

A number of extracurricular activities helped shape Basnet’s path and included the Chambers Singers and theater, Science Olympiad, Model UN and Mock Trial. Participating in the peer mentoring program Natural Helpers has a significant impact on the future lawyer/immigration policy expert. “That’s where I learned about people and how to embrace one another, meet new people and approach new and uncomfortable situations,” he said. “Every single experience I had at Hicksville taught me a different thing about how I entered college and beyond.” With plans to pursue a master’s degree in Public Policy as well as advanced studies in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies, Basnet continues to embrace an important piece of instruction he received back in fifth grade. “The best piece of advice I’ve received is to lean into discomfort,” he explained. “Leaning into discomfort is a broad brush way of challenging myself at every turn possible. As uncomfortable as things may be and as uncomfortable as it may be to apply to something like the Rhodes and to do as many activities as I did is to lean into that discomfort and create my experiences out of that uncomfortable situation.” What did you think of this article?

Lafazan (D—Woodbury).

Drucker co-introduced the resolution establishing the Special Legislative Task Force to Combat Antisemitism on June 22, 2021 in response to an alarming and frighteningly persistent increase in antisemitic incidents in recent years. It was adopted unanimously by the full Nassau County Legislature in August 2021. Prior to the Drucker highlighted recent incidents of antisemitism—including a Jan. 15, 2022 hostage situation at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, TX—that makes the upcoming work of this commission especially critical. “When I proposed the creation of the Legislative Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, our nation and the world was already navigating an alarming and unacceptable increase in bias incidents targeting Jewish people,” Drucker said. “It’s long

February Is National Children’s Dental Health Month F

ebruary is National Children’s Dental Health Month. During the entire month of February, the American Dental Association (ADA) honors and recognizes dental professionals and all who are passionate about children’s healthcare. Take this time to increase awareness about pediatric dental hygiene and find out how you can best support your child’s dental care. What is National Children’s Dental Health Month? The ADA’s Children’s Dental Health Day was first celebrated on Feb. 8, 1949. It became a month-long commemoration in 1981. 40 years later, children’s dental health continues to be promoted throughout February for National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM). Celebrating children’s oral health awareness is incredibly important for the community. Tooth decay remains the most common chronic childhood disease. Continuing educational programs and prevention awareness will help motivate more parents and other adults to recognize the seriousness of children’s dental disease. Why is Children’s Dental Health Month Important? NCDHM raises awareness of the importance of teaching children good oral habits early to ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles. Parents or caregivers are essential and can promote children’s dental health this month and throughout the year.

Support children’s dental health by working with dental professionals on specific topics such as:

· Tooth decay · Getting your child familiar with their dentist’s office · Preventing crowded teeth · Healthy gums in later years Keeping up with daily oral care and visiting the dentist at least twice a year for an oral examination and professional cleanings are steps you can take towards a happier and healthier mouth. Setting the foundation for your child earlier in life will set your child up for success in the future.

Schedule an Appointment

Making an appointment at the dentist is one of the best ways to celebrate February’s theme. The more time they

spend with their dental professionals, the more comfortable they’ll be when they visit. It is encouraged for children to have regular cleanings every six months. If you schedule an appointment in February, your child’s second appointment will fall just-in-time before back-to-school in August.

Buy New Toothbrushes

Did you know that toothbrushes should be replaced every three to four months, as frayed bristles decrease their effectiveness? Get kids excited about their regular hygiene routine by letting them select toothbrushes with their favorite characters and choose toothpaste that they like. NCDHM is an excellent time to toss out old toothbrushes and replace them with new ones.

Check Their Brushing Technique

If your kids tend to brush their teeth unattended, take time this month to

New Medical Technology Developed On Long Island Designs for Vision recently introduced its newly developed Reveal FGS System—an innovative tool for the procedure known as fluorescence guided surgery (FGS). This system uses advanced wearable specialty lighting and appropriate optical filters to provide such lighting conditions to tumor surgeons. The significant advantage of the Reveal FGS System is that surgeons can operate quickly with added emphasis on efficient fluorescent guided procedures on glioma (brain tumor) surgery. Glioma is a tumor that develops in the brain and spinal cord, diagnosed as suspect high-grade gliomas. This condition is difficult to operate on since the cancer has “finger like projections” that penetrate into the normal brain tissue making it difficult to remove all the infiltrating tumor tissue. Glioma is a rare orphan disease with about 12,000 individuals diagnosed annually in the United States.

“Reveal FGS System is wearable technology that makes fluorescence guided surgery more accessible by lowering the entry cost to a fraction of the previous technology,” said Ken Bragança, Vice President of Operations at Designs for Vision. “Rather than just the largest, best-funded hospitals being able to provide this technology, the Reveal FGS System brings the miracle of fluorescence guided surgery to all hospitals.” Fluorescence guided surgery has been used to operate on brain tumors in Europe for a few decades but has only been practiced in the United States for the last few years. The procedure requires patients to be administered an optical imaging agent that becomes absorbed by the tumor and visualized by the use of specific wavelengths of light required to make such agents fluoresce or glow in response to stimulation by light. Currently, most brain surgeons operating on gliomas will use

specialized surgery microscopes appropriately equipped with this lighting system. Due in part to the very high cost, there is often a limited number of these microscopes accessible to surgeons, which in turn reduces the number of possible surgeries. The Reveal FGS System costs approximately $8,000. At this price point, medical centers that choose this system can make this complex surgical procedure possible and improves not only the ability to see tumor tissue but aids in the removal of material that the surgeons can now see. “Reveal FGS System is a refinement of fluorescence guided surgery equipment,” Bragança said. “Many doctors who’ve tested the system say that it significantly reduces the time of surgery by minimizing the set up and relocation of the microscopes and offers a more complete visual field of the operation area.” Visit www.designsforvision.com/ REVEAL-FGS.htm to learn more.

Reclaim Your Health During American Heart Month

ebruary is American Heart Month, a time to pay special attention to understanding, preventing and treating heart disease—the leading cause of death in the nation. More than 874,000 Americans died of cardiovascular disease in 2019, according to the American Heart Association’s “Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics—2022 Update.” This February, the 58th American Heart Month, the AHA is urging people all over the country to “reclaim your rhythm.” What does that mean? Quite simply, the AHA is encouraging people to reclaim control of their mental and physical well-being after two difficult years of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many people have delayed or avoided seeking medical care. Unhealthy use of alcohol and other substances has been on the rise. All these things can increase the risk of heart disease. For nearly a century, the AHA has worked to encourage people to live healthier and longer, free of heart disease and stroke. But the first American Heart Month didn’t come until 1964. President Lyndon B. Johnson, among the millions of people in the country who’d had heart attacks, issued the first proclamation for American Heart Month in 1964 to spotlight heart disease. Since then, U.S. presidents have annually declared the federally Thomas Barwick/DigitalVision designated event for February.

Alzheimer’s Foundation Awards Research Grant The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) began its 20th anniversary year by announcing a $998,156 grant to Northwell’s Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research to expand research into developing new treatments aimed at addressing some of the most problematic behaviors of dementia—hallucinations, delusions and aggression. The new five-year study builds on research previously conducted with a $500,000 grant AFA awarded to the Feinstein Institutes in 2016. “There’s no better way to begin AFA’s 20th anniversary year than by making this investment in hope,” said AFA Founder and Board Chairman Bert E. Brodsky. “Finding new ways to treat these symptoms would have an enormous impact on safety and quality of life—both for people living with dementia and their caregivers.

illnesses. Violent behavior directed towards caregivers is emotionally devastating and can be dangerous for those charged with providing a safe environment. Tragically, these behaviors are difficult to treat; and persistence of these symptoms are often the indication for placement outside of the home in a residential healthcare setting. “A new year brings new beginnings, and we hope that this research will be a new chapter in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease,” said AFA President and CEO Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. “Just as AFA builds on the progress of its past 20 years, this new funding will help the Feinstein Institutes start the next phase of its research toward new treatments.” A team of scientists led by Jeremy Koppel, M.D., co-director of the Litwin-Zucker Research Center at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical

Research, have recently found an association between the distribution of abnormal tau proteins in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients as visualized with advanced PET neuroimaging and psychotic symptoms. A previous discovery made by the team linked impairments in the processing of facial emotion with the onset of psychosis in Alzheimer’s. “The funding provided by AFA made our work possible; and the ongoing support is critical, allowing us to do the necessary research to translate these discoveries into safe and effective treatments for patients and caregivers,” said Koppel. AFA is able to award grants such as this through the generosity of individuals and organizations.

Glaucoma Is A Leading Cause

lindness caused by glaucoma is insidious. In most cases, there is no pain, and the loss of vision occurs slowly from peripheral to central. Many people do not even realize it’s happening until they have lost a substantial amount of peripheral vision. But Dr. Daniel Laroche, director of Glaucoma Services and President of Advanced Eyecare of New York, wants you to know there is a way to prevent the devastating effects of glaucoma: Don’t skip your eyecare visits.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a disease of the eye characterized by three components: 1. Damage and loss of the retinal ganglions cells and optic nerve described as cupping 2. Loss of visual field 3. Usually increased eye pressure (the mean normal eye pressure is

the enlarged lens or cataract in the eye. Early cataract surgery and trabecular bypass has become the best option to stop vision loss in patients with glaucoma. The current use of eyedrops and laser help to lower intraocular

World Kidney Day To Be Celebrated From Top Of Mt. Kilimanjaro A group of 22 kidney donor athletes are in training across the country to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro on World Kidney Day, March 10. All are members of an aptly named nonprofit, Kidney Donor Athletes (KDA), founded by ultra-athlete Tracey Hulick who donated her kidney in 2017. “I want people to be able to use this as an example to show you can be an endurance athlete and do well with one kidney,” Hulick said. According to the National Kidney Donation Organization (NKDO), more than 100,000 people in the U.S. are on the waiting list for kidney transplants. More than 3,000 new patients are added to this list every month. With fewer donors than there are those in need, 13 people die every day waiting for a kidney. The benefits of being a recipient of a living donor may be apparent, but what isn’t as obvious is the positive impact donation can have on the person donating. As in all major surgeries, there is an inherent

risk, however, we’re born with two kidneys, but in most cases, we can not only survive, but thrive with one. “The message is awareness, that’s the ultimate goal,” said Steve Wilson who will be climbing with Hulick. “More people would consider donating if they knew how easy the surgery is, it saves someone’s life and it doesn’t have to change yours at all.” And aside from the physical considerations, it’s the emotional benefit the donor athletes have experienced that motivates them on this quest. According to Wilson, recipients are grateful to the donors, but it works the other way around too. “I may never meet my recipient, but if I do, I will give her a tight, long hug and say thank you for giving me the opportunity to live past myself,” he said. More information about living kidney donation and kidney donor athletes can be found at kidneyregistry.org and kidneydonorathlete.org.

Of Preventable Blindness pressure but do not address the causative mechanism of the glaucoma being the enlarged lens. Incisional cataract surgery and glaucoma surgery is often needed to truly stabilize glaucoma. All people should be screened regularly for glaucoma as part of a medical eye exam. Screening should consist of an eye examination consisting of gonioscopy (examination of the drainage angle), intraocular pressure measurement with Goldmann applanation tonometry and a dilated optic nerve examination. If there appears to be any damage to the optic nerve or abnormal pressure, then a visual field test should be performed, and optic nerve photos taken. Persons with thin corneas should be more aggressively monitored and treated for glaucoma as the disease tends to be worse in these patients. “Eyesight or human vision is one of the most important senses. As much as 80 percent of what we feel comes through our sense of sight,” said Laroche. “By protecting the eyes, people will reduce the chance of blindness and vision loss while also staying on top of any developing eye diseases, such as glaucoma and cataracts.” If you have eye pressure or glaucoma

The brain is our most essential organ and it allows us to control other organs,” said Laroche. “Normal and healthy vision contributes to improved learning and comprehension for a better quality of life.” About Dr. Daniel Laroche Dr. Laroche is a glaucoma specialist in New York.

Doctor Launches Website To Address Chronic Pain

r. Jonathan Bank, board-certified plastic surgeon with specialty training in microsurgery at NYBRA Plastic Surgery has launched a new website, www. BreastRelief.com, as a multidisciplinary solution to Post-Mastectomy Pain Syndrome. Post-Mastectomy Pain Syndrome (PMPS) is a chronic pain that occurs and persists in the breast, chest and underarm areas after mastectomy or other breast surgeries. This can affect a significant percentage of women after mastectomy. Since one-in-eight have a risk of developing breast cancer, a large number of women suffer from this condition, and may not be properly diagnosed or treated. “We believe that surgery can affect the sensory nerves in this area and is the driving force behind this condition. These nerves are often disturbed as part of standard mastectomy techniques,” Bank explained. Breast Relief was developed as a unique, multidisciplinary, clinical and research initiative to diagnose,

treat and prevent PMPS focusing on four keys areas: physical therapy, pain management, regional anesthesia and reparative surgery. A tailored treatment plan, based on the individual’s needs, is created with elements of these modals.

“We are proud to offer this service to our patients. Our surgeons are experienced in resensation procedures, which can help mitigate neurological issues after mastectomy,” Bank added. “We have been able to help patients who have had years of chronic breast

pain go on to lead pain free lives.” One of these patients, Lori, had undergone a breast reduction procedure and experienced PMPS shortly after the initial surgery before she became a patient of Bank’s. “I cried on and off for 18 months. Everything was so excruciating. It felt like I had a 20-lb weight in my breast,” she explained. Three days after undergoing nerve reconstruction techniques as part of the Breast Relief approach, Lori revealed her chronic pain was gone. “I just say, ‘Thank you, God!’” she said. “Every patient’s situation is different, but there is growing evidence that this approach can help relieve this problem,” Bank said. “Our experience has taught us that appropriate nerve handling during the mastectomy, or any breast surgery, may avoid the problem completely.” Breast Relief is a service of NYBRA Plastic Surgery.

Transplants And Donations A s we ring in the New Year, it is a good time to think about liver transplantation and organ donation. Liver transplantation, a miracle procedure, has given a new life to thousands of adults and children who would have otherwise died of their liver diseases. The need for liver transplantation is great, the number of available organs is limited and patients wait on long lists hoping to get the life-saving organ that they need. Many never will. There are three types of liver transplants. Orthotopic transplant meaning that a liver from a recently deceased donor is used, a living donor in which a living person donates part of their liver to someone else and a split liver where a liver is removed, split in half, and each half is given to a different patient. Split livers are used mostly for children as half a liver is usually too small to be used in an adult. Liver transplantation has become the standard therapy for patients with end-stage liver disease and for those with acute liver failure. The one-year overall survival is about 90 percent and the five-year survival rate is 75 percent. Sometimes, the transplanted liver can fail or the original disease may return. The in-hospital recovery period after surgery is highly variable with many transplant recipients being discharged within one week of surgery. After transplantation, the patients are placed on immunosuppressive therapy which is generally life-long. These medications are usually well tolerated but occasionally patients can have side-effects related to these medicines. After a liver transplant, patients are typically followed by their transplant physicians for the rest of their lives. When evaluating someone for a liver transplant, the medical/surgical team will assess the severity of the liver disease, other medical conditions which are present, the patient’s overall physical condition, the patient’s mental well-being and the level of support from family and friends. Currently, there are about 11,000 people on the waiting list and in 2021 slightly more than 9,000 liver transplants were performed in the United States. The number of liver transplants have continued to steadily rise, which is good news. New York ranks third on the number of transplants performed, after California and Texas. The most common indications for liver transplantation from chronic liver disease in the United States include alcohol

related liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, primary liver cancer without spread outside of the liver, viral hepatitis B and C, primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, in-born errors of metabolism, and autoimmune disease. Causes of acute liver injury necessitating liver transplantation include medication-induced liver injury from over-the-counter medications, prescription drugs and herbal supplements, acute viral infection, toxins such as poisonous mushrooms and metabolic disorders such as Wilson’s disease. The limiting factor for increasing liver transplantation rates is the shortage of available organs. In our country, people need to opt-in to be an organ donor. Organ donation is an opportunity to help another person. One organ donor can change as many as 10 lives for the better. Organ donation can be a rewarding and positive experience and may help families get through the grieving process. Most religions support organ donation. As we start this new year, I would like to wish all the readers and their families a happy and healthy year. In the spirit of community and helping one’s neighbor, please remember to consider organ donation to aid the thousands of children and adults in need of liver transplantation.

Kissinger was a most Mideast peace. His predepatriotic American. However, jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

he knew that America’s peculiar brand of democracy was not necessarily transferable to the rest of the world. Both short-term and long-term peace was possible.

To Indyk, the story of Kissinger’s diplomacy was in credentialism. A besieged Nixon and a calmer Gerald Ford both wanted a big breakthrough, with peace bursting out all over the region. Kissinger knew that the Arab world was not ready to recognize Israel. A cessation of hostilities was the most the United States could hope for.

Beginning in 1974, Kissinger was able to achieve just that, paving the way for greater achievements. Throughout much of the book, Kissinger shares the stage with Egyptian President Anwar El-Sadat. Originally considered a lightweight, Sadat made his own bold moves that culminated with the Camp David accords. Sadat was no saint. And no pacifist, either. He knew that his 1973 Yom Kippur attack on Israel could not result in victory. It would, however, allow Egypt to save face from its earlier humiliation in the 1967 Six-Day War. The chapter on this war was the most gripping reading in Kissinger’s memoirs. It was the greatest crisis since Cuba in 1962 as American forces worldwide went on DEFCON-3 nuclear alert, the highest level of peacetime readiness, a level only two below DEFCON-1 (which meant nuclear attack) all to convince the Soviets to stay put. The reader relives that drama in Master of the Game. Kissinger also had to convince Golda Meir not to annihilate

Egypt’s Third Army once that unit was surrounded by Israeli forces. After his gains in the 1973 war, Sadat was able to make peace with Israel. The latter nation was more reluctant. After all, they had been attacked by the Egyptians. However, the administrations of Nixon and Ford had leverage and they used it. For Indyk, Israel’s decision to partner in peace with Sadat paid dividends. With increased foreign aid from the United States, plus access to that nation’s cutting-edge technology, Israel was able to achieve both economic and military superpower status in the region. Kissinger’s cautious approach remains the model for future peace. This book is densely written. In diary form, Indyk details the most minute points of high-stakes diplomacy, providing a definite history of the years leading up Camp David. What did you think of this article?

illage of Westbury Mayor Peter Cavallaro made the rounds of the village during the snowstorm that began Jan. 28 and kept the residents updated via the village’s Facebook page. Late on the afternoon of Jan. 29, when the snowfall had abated, he wrote: “Our plow guys have done a great job in the past few hours. All roads are 100 percent passable but there’s some snow residue on most roadways.” Cavallaro told Anton

Media Group that “Our DPW had adequate resources to handle last week’s storm. It was a coincidence, but in the week prior to the storm, we received delivery of two new mid-sized dump trucks that were purchased last year (but with supply and delivery chain delays were only received last week). These two new trucks did a very good job (in addition to all the other equipment we have) to plow the snow. Westbury has approximately 43 miles of road to plow. There was a big advantage with the storm on the weekend,

with the mayor saying it “...facilitates the plowing operation and allows for snow plowing without disruption of sanitation, recycling or other DPW services. The wind presents challenges as it blows snow back on previously plowed streets, but our crews were plowing continuously from around Friday midnight till 4 or 5 p.m. Saturday, and back again Sunday to clean up and clear bridge overpasses, parking lots and village buildings.” As is usual during a storm, some residents complained about the quality of the plow-

ing, or criticized neighbors for leaving their cars on the street. “Parking on the street, particularly in certain sections of the village, is a challenge for every storm of larger magnitude,” Cavallaro noted. “We try to have residents move cars from the streets (newsletter article and then the day before and of the storm, two 311 calls, Facebook postings, website posing, blast emails) advising them of the requirement. Unfortunately, in several areas there are too many cars and too many left

on streets. We do issue tickets where we believe that the car could have been removed, or where we have information that the landlord of rented apartments did not allow the tenant to park on driveways.” Asked if the storm had a material affect on the snowplowing budget in terms of overtime, materials, gas and other costs, Cavallaro replied, “No, we are under budget.” What did you think of this article?

Blakeman Meets With Parents, Students, School Board Members To Give Update On Mask Mandates Calls on governor to release metric she will use to lift mandate

n Feb. 1, Nassau County Executive Bruce A. Blakeman was joined by Plaintiff Michael Demetriou, parents, students and school board leaders to update residents on the status of COVID-19 in Nassau County. “COVID cases are down 86 percent state-wide yet the governor refuses to even tell residents, business owners, parents, students and school boards what metric must be reached to lift her unconstitutional mandate,” said Blakeman. “The governor should adhere to the law, follow the science and allow local officials to decide

what is best for their hometown communities.” Blakeman discussed the decision of the New York State Appellate Court to extend the stay on school mask mandates until March 2. “Nassau is not in crisis and shouldn’t be painted with the same broad brush as the rest of New York State,” Blakeman said. —Submitted by the office of County Executive Bruce Blakeman Residents updated on mask mandates.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR WILL SENATOR KAPLAN PLEASE EXPLAIN TAX REDUCTION? Politicians seeking election or re-election to public office often mail fliers to homeowners informing them of what they intend to do if elected. Incumbents also sing the praises of their accomplishments and urge voters to allow them to continue their mission. Senator Anna Kaplan went this route when her office mailed out one such flyer to Westbury residents highlighting what she has done for the community and asked voters to re-elect her. One of the things she pointed out is that she delivered $66 million for the Westbury School District,

an increase of 19 percent over last year, allowing the district to cut property taxes for Westbury residents for the first time in decades. I am certainly not disputing the claim that she delivered $66 million to the district, but the cut in property taxes is certainly not the case for all residents. I for one have seen an increase in my property taxes, as is the case with several of my neighbors that I spoke with. I would not be surprised if Senator Kaplan already knows that there would not be an across-the-board decrease in property taxes for everyone

because that’s not how the system works. She should know that the money must come from somewhere to address the shortfall created by people who grieve their taxes or those filing for STAR exemption etcetera; taking from Peter to pay Paul so to speak. This is especially so in Nassau County, where there are so many special districts that are responsible for all property taxes and assessed revenues. These special taxing districts (fire, water, sewer, library) are features of suburban growth and the homeowner’s total tax bill is derived by multiplying

each district tax rate times the assessed value of the property. Across-the-board decrease in property tax is possible if there is an influx of new businesses into the area thereby broadening the tax base, or by consolidating these special districts along practical lines such as purchasing etc. thereby reducing the cost of services provided to the community. I am hoping this will be a challenge Senator Kaplan is willing to embark on thereby providing some degree of equity to the taxpayers of Westbury. —Chester McGibbon

How Play Can Enhance Our Relationships Psychologist Jean Piaget, who is well known for his work on cognitive development, discussed the importance of play. He viewed play as an integral component of psychological, social and emotional growth. Play helps to expand a developing child’s imagination, teaches important problem-solving skills and develops and refines social interactions. As we get older, play time is often replaced with work and other responsibilities, but that doesn’t mean that it is any less important. In fact, engaging in play with your partner, not only infuses some fun into your relationship, but enables you two to engage in rituals of connection and the ability to explore one another’s worlds. Psychotherapist Esther Perel, in discussing the importance of foreplay in the bedroom between couples, broadens

You can even choose to engage in games such as 20-questions with your partner so that you are learning more about them, while also engaging in an interactive activity.

Get creative For those who are crafty, an art activity may be a great way to play together. Consider painting, drawing, sculpting or just creating. You can make home-made presents for one another for an upcoming occasion or create a scrapbook where you can put your most treasured memories. Explore Play can happen during exploration. Get in the car and take a drive or hop on public transportation. Pick a place that neither of you have been to, so that you can create new memories together and share in experiences for the first time, charting your path as you go. While there are times in which we must be focused and serious, it is important to break these up with opportunities to free ourselves of our daily stresses and engage in some fun and freeing play with our partners. —Dr. Marisa Cohen is a relationship scientist and coach, and teaches psychology at the college level

Happy Anniversary Nassau Inter County Express Bus Service January 1, 2022 marked the tenth anniversary for Nassau Inter County Express Bus. Thousands of Nassau County, Long Island residents ride NICE Bus to jobs, schools and other destinations in Queens. Many transfer to the New York City Transit subway at Flushing, Jamaica or Far Rockaway stations. Thousands of Queens residents travel via NICE bus to jobs, schools and other destinations in Nassau County. The viability of NICE benefits everyone. To understand the origins of how we got here, you must go back in time to the early 1970s. Prior to NICE, bus service in Nassau County was operated under Long Island Bus and Metropolitan Suburban Bus Authority. In 1973, Nassau County purchased equipment, routes and some facilities from numerous private bus operators most of whom were experiencing serious financial difficulties. These private bus operators included Bee Line, Rockville Center Bus Corporation, Utility Lines, Stage Coach Lines, Schenck Transportation, Inc., Nassau Bus Line, Hempstead Bus Corporation, Jerusalem Avenue Bus Lines, Universal Auto Bus, Roosevelt Bus Lines, Stage Coach Lines, Hendrickson Bus Corporation and others. Their respective fare box income was insufficient to cover current dayto-day operating expenses. They lacked the funding to purchase new replacement buses, along with upgrading out-of-date maintenance and operating bus garages. Nassau County followed up that same year by entering into a lease and operating agreement with the MTA to continue providing local bus service. This resulted in creation of the Metropolitan Suburban Bus Authority (MSBA). Years later, MSBA was followed by Long Island Bus and on Jan. 1, 2012, Nassau Inter County Express (NICE). Most of the same routes operated by MSBA, Long Island Bus and NICE Bus today can be traced back to the various private bus operators.

PENNER STATION Larry Penner

It is a four-way dance between fares paid by riders along with funding provided by Nassau County, the State and the Federal government in financing public bus transportation operated by NICE. They operate a fleet of 280 buses out of the Mitchell Field bus garage. NICE also operates a fleet of 122 Able Ride paratransit vehicles out of the Stewart Avenue facility. Both facilities were constructed by federal capital grants with local matching funds provided by Nassau County and the State Department of Transportation. It was the same funding sources for both construction of the Hempstead Multi-Modal Bus Terminal, Mineola Intermodal Bus Terminal/ Commuter Parking Garage and Rockville Centre Bus Garage which was removed from active transit service in 2017. All five of these investments combined cost more than $100 million. In today’s dollars, it would be far higher. NICE attempts to schedule bus replacements on a 500,000 mile or 12-year cycle, whichever comes first, and is based upon Federal Transit Administration eligibility guidelines. Since 1973, buses operated by NICE under contract to Nassau County are now on the fourth replacement cycle. Most buses operated by NICE are under 12 years old. This was not the case decades earlier when the average age of the fleet was closer to 12 years. Over time, there have been

other capital investments, including compressed natural gas fueling stations, facility modifications to accommodate CNG buses inside garages, new fare collection equipment, automatic vehicle locator equipment, real-time communications systems to notify riders for anticipated arrival of the next bus, shelters, bus stop signs and other support equipment necessary to run the system. Just like a homeowner, what is new today requires constant maintenance, periodic upgrades and eventual replacement years later. Capital physical assets of any bus system (including revenue vehicles along with bus facility com-

ponents such as HVAC, bus washers, paint booths, engine shops, bays, pits, lifts, doors, fueling stations, lighting, security systems and many others) eventually reach the end of their useful life based upon straight line depreciation and/or manufacturer’s warranty. Significant changes in technology also require replacement of outdated equipment. Farebox recovery rate analysis is critical in determining the frequency and continuation of service on a route by route basis. Fifty percent is a good transit industry standard. Some routes are higher and others lower. There are bound to be routes with a handful of riders and a very low farebox recovery rate. In these cases, difficult decisions have to be made by management for preservation of the overall system benefiting the other 98% of daily riders. It is easy over time to add service providing the financial support is available.

The riding public has a difficult time understanding why their route is subject to reduction in the frequency or elimination of all service because it has become a significant financial drain on the transit system. The costs of labor for drivers including salary, fringe and benefits along with fueling, washing, cleaning and maintenance of equipment are major factors in determining the price of service. You also have to add depreciation over time for the life of the bus. The average cost of providing service on any bus route averages $180 dollars or more per hour. It has been 49 years since Nassau County took control of all bus routes from private operators. Over that time period, Nassau County, New York State and the Federal governments have combined invested more than $780 million in capital improvements. Operating subsidy dollars easily top upwards of $1.5 billion. NICE services continue to be one of the best bargains around. Since the 1950s, the average cost of riding a bus in Nassau County has gone up at a lower rate than either the consumer price index or inflation. The Metro Card introduced in 1996 affords a

free transfer between NICE bus and the New York City Transit bus or subway. Prior to this, riders had to pay two full fares. Purchasing either a weekly or monthly pass further reduces the cost per ride. Many employers offer transit checks, which pay even more of the costs. In the end, it all comes down to the availability of increased funding for additional transportation service to serve residents. Operating subsidies are required to increase the level of service and reduce the amount of time one waits for a bus on existing routes. Same for adding more off-peak, evening and weekend service. This also holds true for those routes currently under discussion for elimination when there are insufficient revenues to maintain existing service. TANSTAFL—There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch or in this case bus ride. NICE services continue to be one of the best bargains around. —Larry Penner is a transportation advocate, historian and writer, who previously worked for the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 New York Office. This included the development, review, approval and oversight for billions in capital projects and programs for the MTA, NYC Transit, Long Island Rail Road, Metro North Rail Road, MTA Bus along with 30 other transit agencies in NY & NJ.

The response from the community was overwhelming. Featured on News12’s On a Positive Note hosted by Erin Colton, organizers Lieutenant Mike Fratello and paramedic Samantha Datre stated that they decided to do this “... as a way to connect with the community in order to come together to help others.” Collection boxes were at Stations 1 and 2 and had to be emptied several times a day and the decision was made

to stop collecting items a day earlier than planned due to storage space limitations. On Saturday, Jan. 22, additional members of the department gathered at Station #2 to load a large truck and two additional pickup trucks, in order to transport the clothing, blankets, towels, food and other essential personal items to a facility to organize and sort the items to be brought to where they were needed.

POLICE REPORT

Uniondale Man Sentenced For Attempted Murder Of Four Nassau County Police Department Members District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly recently announced that a Uniondale man was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for the attempted murder of four Nassau County police officers following a traffic stop in 2018. Forty-year-old Duane Costa of Uniondale was convicted by Judge Patricia Harrington after a bench trial on Dec. 16, 2021 of four counts of first degree attempted murder (an A-I felony); one count of first degree criminal use of a firearm (a B violent felony); and three counts of second degree criminal possession of a weapon (a C felony). Costa was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. “Duane Costa fired at least two rounds directly at officers’ heads from less than 10 feet away as they pursued him down the streets of Hempstead and he continued firing as additional officers joined the chase,” Donnelly said. “Police officers around the country put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe, knowing that it could mean they don’t return home to their families.

The defendant then pulled out another gun, a CZ-52 pistol, and fired multiple rounds at the officers as he ran around a corner where he encountered two different officers, who were nearby on a separate matter. Costa fired more rounds at those officers and continued running on Clinton Street until he ran into an Nassau County District alley.

The Valentines cards are distributed to veterans in hospitals and nursing homes throughout the county as a way for them to know that they have not been forgotten. —Submitted by the Bethpage Union Free School District

June 11, 1923 - January 31, 2022 A Life Well Lived Joseph A. Iannucci, who lived most of his life in Westbury, and later in Rockville Centre, NY, passed away on January 31, 2022 at the age of 98. By all measures, Joe was a lucky man. He almost made it to 100. With the help of some great cardiologists, he lived more than 50 years following triple bypass surgery. Besides that, he was generally healthy throughout his life. He had a devoted wife, Lillian, of 70 years. He saw his four children grow up, marry and have children of their own. He lived to see his ten grandchildren graduate from college, and in several cases, to dance at their weddings. He spent time with seven great grandchildren. Joe lived the life most people pray for. His was a life well lived. Besides his family, Joe had many passions. First was the United States Navy. He enlisted in the Navy when he was 19 and the world was at war. He served in World War II from 1942 until shortly after it ended in 1945. As Radioman Second Class, he monitored, sent, received and translated encoded messages while aboard destroyer escort ships in the Pacific theater. He and his shipmates, many of whom became his friends for life, were involved in some of the major battles of the Pacific including at Luzon, Leyte, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Joe considered his service in the Navy, “the greatest honor of his life.” In his later years, he arranged annual reunions with his shipmates and their families to various Naval bases and museums around the US not only so old friends could get together, but to ensure the next generations understood what theirs had accomplished. Joe was passionate about the Village of Westbury, where he grew up, raised his family and ran businesses. He played a leadership role in Village activities throughout his life. As a local entrepreneur, he was an active participant and past president of both the local Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club. He was a strong advocate for the importance of supporting family-run businesses to a thriving downtown. He was a long-time member of the Westbury Fire Department, even serving as president of the Volunteer and Exempt Fireman’s Benevolent Association when he was 90. He was also active in the VFW and was its quartermaster for many years. He was a voracious reader, devouring one book after another. Other passions included golf and the NY Giants. He was proud to be one of the Giants longest season tickets holders and to stick with them through thick and thin. For him, there was no greater thrill or reward than seeing “his” team win four Super Bowl championships. Going to Super Bowl XXI to witness the NY Giants beat the Denver Broncos was a highlight of his life. Joe is survived by his wife, Lillian, their children, Joseph (Patricia), Nancy (Harvey Jones), Richard (Nancy) and Patricia Mullooly (James); his ten grandchildren and their spouses and seven great grandchildren, three sisters and many nieces and nephews. It is Joe’s wish that, in lieu of flowers, donations in his memory are made to the USS Slater Destroyer Escort Historical Museum, P.O. Box 1926, Albany, NY 12201 or https://ussslater.org 229988 M

Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 14 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

Tassie travels Solution: 14 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You come off as polished and confident. There’s a slight gap between what people think you know and what you actually know. Mind that gap. You’ll learn what you need to as soon as you’re able, but in the meantime, continue to dazzle your subjects in other ways and maintain your advantage. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s decision time. You have a choice. You’ll think about what kinds of things you’ll be doing if you go down road A and what opportunities might crop up down road B. But ultimately, this boils down to who you’d rather spend your time with. Each road represents a different set of people. Where will your love flow?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The rest of the world may not see it right away, but you know when you’re on track, and your internal guidance system beeps annoyingly when you’re not. No amount of battery changing or ear-plugging will help. The only way to make it stop is to get back on the path. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As the sign of justice, you didn’t have to learn that all people are equal; you were born knowing this. While you strive to treat everyone the same regardless of status, you’ll still find yourself trying to impress a certain someone. Herein lies an opportunity for self-discovery. By the end of the week, you’ll feel you’ve grown. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your best is more than enough. And if you’re not up to making huge efforts, don’t worry. Even if you just show up as you are, giving nothing more than the dressed and awake version of yourself, things will go better just because you were there. Now, with the pressure off, go have some fun with your responsibilities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The beautiful results of others could inspire you, or overwhelm and discourage you, if your mindset allows. It’s all in the expectations you set for yourself. Stick to small goals you can reasonably achieve in a short period of time; you’ll be impressed with where you get by Saturday. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The work of “doing you” has changed. You needed different things back then, and you can be proud that you’ve satisfied those needs. A new set of requirements entreats your attendance, and you’ll do equally well with these problems. They are quality problems you consider yourself lucky to have. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Enthusiasm is a magic growing potion. Pour it on your projects and they blossom. You’ll love the scale things can develop to this week. However, the omens also offer a caution. Enthusiasm can also cloud your vision and cause you to miss important details. Consult earth signs for practical input. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People pretend in order to be accepted. But when they feel safe, they drop the pretense. The more you accept people as they are, the greater your knowledge becomes of who exactly you’re dealing with. Your interpersonal dealings smooth out as you become a better predictor of human behavior.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

The year is a beauty. It sparkles of connection to humanity, to nature, to family and extensions. You will understand why your favorites are your favorites. This attention to detail makes life richer. It opens doors. Be aware and alive because many opportunities will be handed to you with the breezy force of suggestion that only the most keen and savvy will know to open. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

Solution: Convict history

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your strong passion for work will be akin to romantic feelings. In fact, your professional and personal life may seem to compete for your attention this week. You can’t please everyone, but that’s what makes your choices mean something. Where necessary, you’ll smooth things over with charm.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone expects things that you are not responsible to deliver. This isn’t your problem, though others will attempt to make you think it is. Do not accept their premise. If it satisfies others but doesn’t feel good to you, it’s wrong.

Solution: 14 Letters

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Familiarity brings comfort ... until it doesn’t. Then, watch out; nothing irritates more than the chafing of the familiar. A friend who craves novelty as much as you do offers the best of both worlds. You’ll have the security of a known partner, with the risk of an adventure into the unknown.

A recommended procedure North dealer. North-South vulnerable. NORTH ♠AK5 ♥ K J 10 8 ♦974 ♣A 6 2 WEST EAST ♠6 ♠8742 ♥Q 6 5 3 2 ♥7 ♦82 ♦ A K J 10 5 ♣10 9 7 5 4 ♣Q J 3 SOUTH ♠ Q J 10 9 3 ♥A 9 4 ♦Q63 ♣K 8 The bidding: North East South West 1 NT 2♦ 3♠ Pass 4♠ Opening lead — eight of diamonds. In the play of many hands, everything fits into place as neatly as in a jigsaw puzzle. Declarer’s chief job is to assemble the missing pieces and determine how they fit into the overall picture. Consider this deal where South is in four spades and West leads a diamond. East cashes the A-K and returns the five, ruffed by West, who shifts to a club.

South must now make the rest of the tricks. His only potential loser is in hearts, and he knows he can make the contract if he takes a heart finesse in the right direction. The question remaining is which opponent is more likely to hold the queen. To try to solve this fairly common problem, declarer undertakes a series of plays designed to ferret out the desired information. He begins by taking the club return with the king and draws four rounds of trump, discarding a heart from dummy. These plays reveal a great deal about East’s hand. Declarer discovers that East started with four spades in addition to five diamonds, so all that remains is to find out how many clubs he started with. Accordingly, South leads a club to the ace and ruffs a club as East follows suit each time. The picture of East’s hand is now virtually complete, since 12 of his 13 cards are accounted for. At most, East can have one heart. So South plays the ace and another heart to dummy’s jack with 100% assurance that it will win, and the contract is home.

2022 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Nominees

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

t’s that time of year when the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (RRHoF) names its nominees (to be clear, this list is about nominated artists and inductees. That list gets announced after RRHoF votes get tallied around May). The broad diversity of this year’s list will either stir up cries of blasphemy from those whose definition of rock and roll is very narrow. Or cheers from those who argue the roll part of rock and roll reflects the broad umbrella of a genre that’s allowed prior inductees like Johnny Cash, Bob Marley, Donna Summer and Public Enemy to exist under the same banner. Never mind the significant list of artists many fans feel have been snubbed/overlooked. Make no mistake, no one will be happy and this list has already generated plenty of debate on and off social media. The following five are my odds-on favorites to get the nod this year.
