Residents Opposed To Village Hall Plans BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

illage of Plandome Manor Board of Trustees meetings, normally staid affairs, drew an unusually large and at times contentious crowd on Feb. 16. It all began when a developer bought the property at 149 Circle Drive. His intention was to knock down the structure, known as the Richardson House, to erect a new house. Though it is not landmarked, its oldest section reportedly dates back to 1730. According to an article in the July 29, 1923 Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Plandome resident George Richardson had it disassembled and moved from Hanover Four Corners, Massachusetts, via barge and reassembled at its current site. Historian and preservationist Mallory Rutigliano attended the Nov. 16 board meeting and suggested that the village come up with ideas to save the house. According to the minutes of that meeting, “The home has been meticulously cared for and is in pristine condition. Unfortunately, the previous owners were unable to find buyers who would live in the current home and the property was sold to a developer. The home is slated for demolition. Ms. Rutigliano implored the village and the board to do anything they can to preserve this home and important piece of Plandome Manor history before it is lost forever.” Then-Village Clerk Randi Malman, after the meeting, asked Mayor Barbara Donno if she could look into the possibility of saving the house. “I said, ‘Go for it,’ ” Donno related at the Feb. 16 meeting, “She formed the committee. She knew people in the area that belong to a preservation society. So she called different people and they formed the committee. Did I know that they were doing this? Yes. Did I know what they were doing? No.” Donno pushed back against the charge, circulated by residents, that the village was being secretive about the process and was forcing it through against the wishes of Circle Drive residents. “The committee members went out and

But the need for a boardroom (that doubled as a justice court) made it difficult and the mayor noted that “the [rental] costs are extraordinary.” “We want to hear from you, hear your concerns,” Donno told her constituents. “We want to try to solve the problem. We’re still fact-finding and we’re trying to include you in the fact-finding. We don’t know if this house is even going to be there another month. The builder can turn around and say, ‘I’m done.

We Are All Ukrainians Now BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

he Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24 set off repercussions that were felt at the geopolitical level—and as close as the neighborhood gas pump. The war has also brought a heightened awareness of that historical area and unprecedented support for Ukraine in general and the estimated (per the Bureau of the Census) 5,200 residents of Ukrainian descent in Nassau County, many of whom still have relatives and friends in that troubled land, On March 8, the Town of Oyster Bay held a candlelight vigil for peace and a donation drop off at St. Josaphat’s Monastery in Lattingtown, longtime home to a Basilian order of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. Dozens of people showed up at the historic site, which began life as Gold Coast mansion back in the early 20th century. Many sang the Ukrainian national anthem in their native tongue. Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino said he came up with the idea to hold the vigil because, as he told Anton Media Group, “It’s so important to show hope, to show support, and to pray for the people of this independent nation. We want to provide an opportunity for everyone to come together and help the people of Ukraine. We feel as though this collection drive of clothes, food, medical supplies and resources will be very important as one of many steps to help people through this most crucial time.” Asked about the logistics of getting the supplies to those in need, Saladino said there’s a depot in New Jersey that delivers materials to countries that border Ukraine. “What’s happening is that refugees are coming in trains and then the trains are going back with supplies,” the supervisor explained. He added, “My heart was torn seeing a picture of a mother and her children dead in the street, gunned down purposefully. It is outrageous, the war crimes that are going on. It hearkens back to the 1940s, one of the most terrifying times in world history.” Saladino was joined by Oyster Bay Councilwoman Michele Johnson, Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato, Clerk Rich LaMarca and Daniel Alter, representing Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. From the dais hung a blue and gold Ukrainian flag gifted by the Ukrainian Embassy, “Words are difficult because the emotions surrounding this tragedy run so deep,” Saladino said in his remarks. “That’s why each and every one of you have come out this evening, The people of Ukraine have undergone unfathomable chaos due to the invasion of their country and it’s changed their lives forever.” After noting that more than 2 million refugees have escaped the chaos by finding havens in neighboring countries such as Poland, Romania and Slovakia, Saladino drew

I hope that people will not find ammunition from this invasion in her garden. I pray that this war will soon be over, and Ukrainians whose lives have been destroyed will soon be able to return to their homeland. I hope they get to enjoy the same fundamental rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness that we are so fortunate to have here in the United States of America.”

Local Polish-American Students Aid Ukrainians BY JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonnews.com

anhasset High School junior Max Majewski may be separated by lands and sea from the atrocities happening in Ukraine, but his heart is right there with those escaping the war. “I always wanted to help, but I wasn’t sure if people who live so far away would care,” Max wrote on his GoFundMe fundraiser for Ukrainian refugees. “Taking advantage of my dual citizenship and family ties to Poland, I have been encouraged to support the Ukrainian people seeking refuge.” It started with a conversation with his mother Sylwia Majewski, during which Max had expressed a desire to help, but also nervousness to actually embark on an endeavor to raise money and collect supplies for refugees crossing the Polish border. “He was just rattled by the events of the war,” Majewski said. “Him and I were just speaking and it was really just sad to sit back, because we were far away, and not be able to do anything. Then Max came up with the idea to set up his GoFundMe page and tell his story and I had to convince him because it’s not always easy for a teenager to talk about his heritage and to put it on display.

Max Piatek, left, Victoria Majewski, Alex Mlotkowski and Max Majewski collected supplies in front of Raindew for Ukrainian refugees. (Photo courtesy Sylwia Majewski) But he did it.” His fundraiser has garnered much support by the community. As of March 9, $50,229 of the $60,000 goal has been raised, and fellow Polish-American students have joined in on the effort, including seniors Alex Mlotkowski and Max Piatek, ninth-graders

Klara Mosakowski and Mikayla Berestecki, seventh-graders Emma Berestecki, Ellie Rostkowski and Sara Majewski and 10th-grader Victoria Majewski. Donations, according to the GoFundMe page, will be split between a group of 40 women and children that arrived in Gdynia,

Poland and among multiple nonprofit organizations that are working to help the refugees. “The funds will cover transportation from the border, rental of two homes, clothing and food,” Max wrote on the page. “This is a coordinated effort with a group of attorneys I know personally that are working pro-bono in Poland. The long-term goal is to set the kids up in school and offer assistance to help find work.” Donations will also be used to purchase necessities locally, and Max said he will be able to have direct contact with these families to track their progress. The law firm Max is working with is called BCP Law Kancelaria Adwokacka, which has been transformed into a storage space. The donations of cleaning products, towels, blankets, mattresses and clothing were collected by the students in front of Raindew on March 5 and 6 and will be sent to Poland to be distributed to those who need it. “Max has been in contact with people on the ground there, just to make sure the funds reach them,” Majewski said. “This is definitely something wonderful and Manhasset has pulled through once again.”

Plandome Heights Sets Tentative Budget For 2022-23 O

n March 7, the Trustees of the Village of Plandome Heights approved a tentative budget for the fiscal year running from June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023. A public hearing on the tentative budget will be held on Monday, April 4 at the village’s annual meeting, which starts at 6 p.m. at the village hall, 37 Orchard St., Manhasset. The budget must be adopted later in April. The tax increase represents $15 per household per year ($1.25/month). It continues the commitment, last year, to “bend the curve” in the short term. The combined increase for last year, when there was no increase, and this year, is 0.75 percent, or $7.50/year per household and roughly half the 1.4 percent trendline rate of increase per year. Taxes in the village, (a) remain approximately $500 below the taxes for the same services outside the village and (b) are the third lowest operating taxes in Nassau County (the other two have less than half the residents). Leaders “Plan Beyond One Year” to keep the taxes low and stable and to maintain a strong balance sheet to protect

the future. Revenues: The tentative budget for 2022-23 calls for total revenues of $486,800, a 1.9 percent increase over the prior year figure of $477,600. This includes: (a) non-property tax revenues of $126,800, a 3.4 percent increase over the $122,600 in the prior year budget, and (b) property tax revenues of $360,000, a 1.4 percent increase over the figure of $355,000 in the prior year budget. The 2022-23 property tax increase of 1.4 percent is below the village’s property tax cap of 3.6 percent, which includes a “growth factor” and carryover in addition to the 2 percent inflation factor. The village will forfeit much of the unused tax cap and carry over some for use in later years. Expenditures: The tentative budget calls for expenditures of $497,300 which is a 1.9 percent increase in costs compared to the 2021-22 budget of $488,100. The increases are primarily in sanitation, snow and human resource costs. Mayor Kenneth C. Riscica said: “Our tentative budget continues our practice of

low and stable property taxes, continuous improvement, a strong balance sheet to protect our future as well as commitment to compliance with the tax cap. We made a commitment last year to ‘bend the tax curve’ in these two years. Despite the 7.5 percent inflation rate and an available tax cap of 3.6 percent, this budget reflects that commitment by limiting the increase to 1.5 percent per household over two years). After this increase, our average annual tax increase for the last 12 years will be about

1.4 percent and our tax advantage vs. outside the village will continue to be 33 percent ($500/year) lower. This annual advantage, over 10 years, is $5,000 of savings to each household. The village is fortunate to have skilled volunteers who deliver these results.” Visit www.plandomeheights-ny.gov/ finances or contact the mayor at Mayor@ PlandomeHeights-NY.Gov. —Submitted by the Village of Plandome Heights

New York Presidents: The Famous and The Forgotten, Part I BY JOE SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

n the nation’s early years, Virginia was the nation’s most populous state. Presidents came from Old Dominion: Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Tyler and Zachary Taylor. With its busy port a destination for the world’s commerce, New York would replace Virginia as the most populous state. It too, would become a breeding ground for chief executives. The first New Yorker to be elected was Martin Van Buren, who had served as Andrew Jackson’s vice president. Others followed: Millard Fillmore, Chester Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Donald Trump. In today’s New York, the upstate region is at best an afterthought. At one time, it produced presidents. Academics regularly come up with presidential rankings—first (usually Abraham Lincoln) to last (the hapless James Buchanan)—that few pay attention to. Here’s our homage to Empire State Presidents.

Millard Fillmore

As with Van Buren, Fillmore was a native of upstate New York, in this case, Cayuga County. In 1848, Mexican War hero Zachary Taylor was elected president with Millard Fillmore Fillmore as his run(public domain) ning mate. Two years later, Taylor succumbed to Washington’s humid summers and died unexpectedly at age 66. Fillmore’s presidency was marked mostly by foreign policy, especially the famed opening to Japan as conducted by Commodore Matthew Perry, one that was consummated after Fillmore left office. In 1852, Fillmore failed to win the Democratic Party’s nomination. Four years later, he attempted a comeback as standard bearer for the anti-immigration American Party. That bid fell short, too. When Civil War broke out, Fillmore,

although elderly, did not sit on the sidelines. He formed a home guard, the Union Continentals, which remained active throughout the conflict.

Chester Arthur

Arthur followed the same pattern as Van Buren and Fillmore. An upstate New York native, he served as James Garfield’s vice president. Chester Arthur Taylor died a (Charles Milton Bell/ natural death. In public domain) 1881, Garfield was assassinated by a deranged gunman, who reportedly wanted Arthur to become chief executive. Arthur, too, served only one term as president. His one term focused heavily on civil service reform as the nation now coped with a rising urban population and the bureaucratic problems such a demographic change entailed. Historian George F. Howe has singled out Arthur as an honest politician in a time of widespread corruption. “Arthur adopted [a code] for his own political behavior but subject to three restraints: he remained to everyone a man of his word; he kept scrupulously free from corrupt graft; he maintained a personal dignity, affable and genial though he might be,” Howe maintained. “These restraints ... distinguished him sharply from the stereotypical politician.”

Grover Cleveland

With Cleveland, the upstate dynasty rolls on. “Grover the Good” was born in Caldwell, NJ, but reared in Clinton, a town in Oneida County. In 1881, Cleveland was elected mayor of Buffalo as a reformer Democrat. He parlayed that success into winning the governorship of New York only a year later. Cleveland topped off his incredible run by being

Martin Van Buren (MatthewBrady/public domain)

elected president in 1884. Four years later, Cleveland was defeated by Benjamin Harrison. Undaunted, Cleveland was promptly elected again in the 1892 election. Cleveland was a Democrat in a time of Republican Party Grover Cleveland (public domain) domination. His policies were similar to GOP presidents, including trade protection, anti-immigration measures and armed neutrality. Cleveland kept government spending to a minimum, regularly wielded his veto pen. He was both the first president to marry while in the White House and the first to be captured on film.

Martin Van Buren

Van Buren was a native of little Kinderhook, an attorney turned politician who was elected president in 1836 and defeated for re-election in 1840 by William Henry Harrison. Van Buren is forgotten today, save for a high school in Queens County, but he has his fans. In a 2001 collection, Reassessing the Presidency, libertarian author Jeffrey Rogers Hummel gave “The Little Magician” high marks: He avoided potential conflicts with both Great Britain and Mexico, while resisting the impulse to increase government spending during the Panic of 1837. During Van Buren’s sole four-year term, Americans, Hummel claimed: “[Enjoyed] greater freedom from government intervention than any other people on the face of the Earth.” Check back next week for the conclusion to our overview of Empire State Commanders in Chief.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TWO VIEWS OF THE STATE OF THE UNION Two of Long Island’s congressional members released the following statements after attending President Biden’s first State of the Union address recently.

Kathleen Rice

President Biden’s address exemplifies the steady, bipartisan approach that our country needs. I am particularly grateful for this leadership as we face an international crisis. His fierce stance against Vladimir Putin and quick action in coordinating global sanctions against Russia have helped re-establish the United States as a respected power on the world stage. We have worked hard since January 2021 to enact policy that

directly benefits the American people. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has already provided millions of dollars to New York, and I will continue working with the state and federal government to ensure that this funding goes to creating good-paying jobs, fixing our crumbling roads and bridges, and cleaning-up contaminated drinking water. While these legislative victories should be applauded, President

Biden is right to acknowledge that we have more work to do. We have made great progress rebuilding our economy, but I know that my constituents still feel the financial impact of inflation and supply chain issues. I am proud to have helped the America COMPETES Act pass the House, and we need to deliver the final version to the President’s desk to support workers and put money directly in the pockets of Americans. We must also finally pass the Fiscal

Year 2022 omnibus package that will allow President Biden to keep our government funded and to send necessary financial aid to Ukraine. Now is the time for Americans to come together. We must present a united front both internally, as we implement this legislation, and externally, as we join our global allies in combating Russia’s aggression. —Rice (D–Garden City), represents the 3rd Congressional District

crisis, rising costs and joblessness as a direct result of his failed agenda. Even after the so-called “Build Back Better” bill was rejected by Congress and the American people, he continued to call for the

passage of his progressive wish list. He failed to acknowledge many of his disastrous policies, including his ill-conceived Afghanistan withdrawal. This is a President who ran on a platform of unity, but all

he has done is divide us further. In a word, tonight’s speech was underwhelming. —Garbarino (R–Sayville) represents the 2nd Congressional District

An Ugly Legacy For Your Grandchildren BY JERRY KREMER

INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer

report is an atlas of human suffering and a damning indictment of failed climate leadership. It shows how severe the impacts of human–caused global warming are becoming worldwide and how hard it will be for societies to manage if nations do not bring down greenhouse gas emissions sharply. A simpler way to say it is that we are seeing an increase in wildfires, heatwaves and rising sea levels many of which are caused by human conduct. On the issue of heat waves, it was once thought that if temperatures did not exceed 3.6 degrees

Fahrenheit, the planet would be spared of any serious fallout. That doesn’t sound like a lot to a family in Levittown, but in places like Alaska a higher year-round temperature could lead to massive die-off of trees, drying of bogs, massive fires and a thawing of the permafrost that releases more carbon dioxide into the air, all conditions that are impossible to stop. Another threat to future generations is the current political makeup of the U.S. Supreme Court. The court is currently considering whether the federal Environmental Protection Agency has the power to dictate regulations that protect the public from industrial and energy industry activities that add to global warming. During arguments before the court, Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr., skeptical of climate change warnings, said it was a “... phenomenon which some people believe is a matter of civilizational survival.” The court will more than likely void a whole series of regulations meant to protect future generations. Unlike the politicians and jurists who have no time to read up on the subject of climate change,

There is a Lutheran Church in my neighborhood that is tiny compared to the large buildings surrounding it. Walking by recently, I noticed a poster whose contents captured my attention and I took a photo of it. The posting states "The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.” It attributes the quote to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran theologian who was hanged because of his opposition to the Nazi regime. I thought about Bonhoeffer’s comments when I read portions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a body of experts convened by the United Nations. They have released the most comprehensive report on the threats posed by global warming by any major environmental organization. The report concludes that nations are not doing enough to protect cities, farms and coastal regions from the hazards that climate change has already unleashed. The report was written by 270 researchers from 67 countries with the approval of 195 countries. According to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, the

Vacation Envy “Hot fun in the summer sun”... That’s what we all want. Vacations are the reason we work, running a close second behind money. These days, with remote working, I sit in front of two monitors and listen to disgruntled customers from the comfort of my apartment. No more driving 35 miles round trip, five days a week, on chewed-up highways to enter an office and incur a brutal onslaught of inconsiderate co-workers that eat fish at their desk and never shut up. With that said, remote work is still work and you need vacations. Until that Friday afternoon when an anvil dropped on my computer. I received notice from the boss I used to respect alerting me those valuable days were canceled for the rest of the year. No solid reason given. Some cost cutting, all nonsense, garbage rhetoric. What I didn’t need in addition to my vacation days washed away by a corporate tsunami was to receive “fun in the sun’ pictures from friends vacationing while watching the snow pile up outside my door. The photos arrived via email

LONG ISLAND STORIES Thomas Kuntzmann

from a friend of mine showing himself and another friend who, like myself, are sitting. One small difference. The boys are kicking back in beach chairs, wearing smiles like they’re auditioning for a toothpaste ad. Each picture showed the Atlantic Ocean in the background and a plate full of of shrimp hogging the foreground. The guys have their arms raised in a toast, one gripping a Bloody Mary the other some Topazcolored drink. Expecting me to return the toast is like them suddenly getting hit by a blizzard and me receiving a heat wave. Anyway, strapped with the news

about the vacation days coupled with my own self-pity of being chained to my desk, I deleted the pictures from my ex-friends. What can I say? It was a gut reaction. Yes, childish and out of character for me. I’m a fun guy and as dependable as they come. I’m willing to drive you to the airport for a 6 a.m. flight needing only gas money and dinner for a week. Under normal circumstances, seeing others enjoying life through their lame vacation shots doesn’t bring me to my knees. I have too much respect for my time. After an hour of envy and then self-reflection, I realized the pettiness of the situation and dug through the trash folder where I store important documents. Finding the pictures, I checked them out more closely, along with some new ones showing them now getting friendly with two attractive blondes. I threw my head back and laughed now feeling their joy. Good for them. These guys are in the position of having the time to go enjoy themselves. Hey, I admit I’d do the same by showing the world what I look like in a bathing suit, spilling drinks

and gouging shrimp. But I should make this last crucial point. Even though I can handle it, cut me some slack and don’t send me your good-time pictures while I’m struggling to get through a brutal day full of complaints. Am I right? Not a big deal. Just use some discretion when gloating. Then again, why don’t you keep sending those incredibly fun-loving photos? I need a good laugh. Like the two blonds in the most recent pictures. I noticed they looked like the waitress who served the topaz-colored cocktails in the first set of pictures. Not two women cruising the beach that my buddies corralled because

of their dynamic personalities. Needing to get back to work, I sent the boys a quick response saying I saw through their deception of being the “king gigolos” of the beach. Also, that’s Miami where they were dropping a wad of cash. Want to impress me? Let’s see some pics from a locale worth talking about like an international vacation in the Spanish Pyrenees mountains.

CALIFORNIA CLOSETS from page 3B We recently spoke with Debra Russo, a designer with the California Closet team here on Long Island about the market trends and how the pandemic has helped people recognize the need to reshape their living spaces. “We do so much more than just closets, we do Murphy beds, home offices, entertainment units, bars and so much more now,” Russo said. “We have done so many home offices in recent years; the new term is cloffice–a fusion of a walk-in closet and a home office.” The idea is not new, however; thanks to the pandemic-prompted work-fromhome explosion, the term looks to be a mainstream design topic on social media sites like Pinterest. “I’ve noticed a shift in consumption, in what people are buying,” Russo said. “People aren’t really doing much fast fashion; people are trying to be a little more minimal, spending money on better, quality items, but fewer of them. And I am seeing a lot of ‘capsule wardrobes’ too.” A capsule wardrobe is a term used in American publications as early as the 1940s to describe a small collection of garments designed to be worn together. The clothing collection, for instance, might have six items in total (a skirt, a blouse, a T-shirt, a blazer, a pullover sweater and a pair of pants), but mixed and matched strategically can produce 30 different outfits. “People are letting go of a lot of things and really making their closets more of a sanctuary,” Russo said. “They are starting to see the value of their closets as extended living space.” She said that homeowners are incorporating Murphy beds into their walk-in closets; a lot of people are converting guest rooms into walk-in closets and also adding an office into the same space. “We can make custom built-ins like cabinetry for your clothes if you don’t want someone feeling like they are sleeping in your closet,” Russo said. “We can put doors over hanging clothes to create a wall and a wall-bed on the other wall.” Do these conversions take away from the value of your home? “If the home is lacking storage, a conversion will not decrease the home’s value,” said Russo. “Also, our systems are modular; you can take it completely apart, in fact some people take it apart and take it with them to their new home.” If you sell your home and the new owners decide they want to convert the space back into a bedroom, it all comes apart; California Closets does offer a service to help return a space to its original state. Without a lot of forethought or creativity, Russo said people were calling at the beginning of the pandemic asking for a desk to be built adjacent to their bed. With the help of their design team, they were able to identify more productive

California Closets’ Seville design spaces throughout the house for a home office to be built. “One of the things I see the most on Long Island in new and existing homes is lack of storage. It seems like for a lot of contractors who build homes, the closets are an afterthought,” Russo said. “They put in a standard shelf and pole, which does nothing for anyone. Things do not have a proper place. When you open the closet doors and everything comes tumbling out, shoes are piled all over the floor.” She said Long Island homes are missing proper homes for belongings, especially in pantries. “You are missing slide-out drawers for things like onions and potatoes; you are missing adjustable shelving for appliances and canned goods; everything is a different size,” Russo said. She said the trend in new construction seems to be to create a smaller primary bedroom, but to make the primary closets larger, keeping furniture minimal inside the bedroom (bed, nightstand, TV). All of the furniture and things (dressers, hampers, shoes) go inside the closet. This

4B | DESIGN & DÉCOR • MARCH 16 - 22, 2022

concept lends to better energy in the living spaces. “I see people waste so much money on fun containers and bins; think about how much money you’re putting into these organizing accessories,” Russo said. “It’s going to save you so much money in the long run; I have seen people spend $1,000 on bins. A new closet would have cost you $600.” Today, California Closets has 120 showrooms and more than 700 designers across North America.

An open concept is nice, but some people still want semi-privacy in some spaces.

Nature Meets Living: Trends 2022 Making space naturally comfortable BY GREG LANZA

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Design trends in any decade are typically defined by the halfway point of that timeline. Two years ago, 2020, caused a different scenario and forced changes as we adapted to pandemic living.

his brings us to our first trend—redefining spaces. Less used dining rooms and living rooms have turned into offices and Zoom rooms. Dual-purpose rooms have been on-trend for years. An office/guest room with pullout bed is common in many homes, but many have turned their living rooms into offices, libraries and studies, often adding a small dining table for intimate fireside dinners. A guest room stylishly outfitted with a large mirror and Peloton is an inviting amenity for guests not wanting to miss their daily routine. Why not? It’s 2022 and almost anything goes. As nice as the open concept is for main spaces, some people may want semi-private areas. I don’t think the trend will disappear as it does increase visual space and brings families together as you can multitask and oversee everyone. We had been forced to slow down and spend time in our homes and neighborhoods. This has affected our moods and creativity. Gardens flourished and kitchens were filled with the aroma of new recipes, which brings us to the return of handcrafted items. DIYs created elaborate macramé wall hangings, crafts and artwork. It’s a return to comfort and decor that makes us feel at ease. Colors in this category are those that fuel our well-being:

earth and nature tones of brown and green. The trend for emerald and daring green hues feels more natural than ever. I envision the return of the leather sofa, not in black but in a saddle or cognac to pair with pure white or ecru walls. Grey now seems like a space capturing all the light that it can on a rainy day. Nature leads to organic shapes and the curved furniture trend. Think mushroom shapes in cream, tan and brown, like the futuristic 1950s upholstery shapes of Miami Beach but in a deep forest or desert color palate. Deep, softer shaped seating with rounded arms or at least soft squared off ones. Bringing the outdoors in is on trend with natural, raw, porous, textured materials and yes, tumbled marble, terracotta, limestone and travertine will be making a comeback. Lighting fixtures incorporating rope, wood, wicker, shells and coconut beads and fragments are part of this trend for the organic home.

I sense metallic accents of gold and silver will be replaced with a touch of black which adds a level of sophistication to any room. The all-white kitchen has faded out to dark grey, ebony and shades of blue. People are less commitment-phobic and want to take chances and be different. European kitchens are incorporating open shelves with herb gardens lit by LED grow lights. Grandmillenial is becoming less grandma and more cool great aunt.

Your boxes of photos, family’s china, and even the kids’ height charts aren’t just stuff; they’re attached to a lifetime of memories and letting them go can be scary. With empathy, expertise and humor, Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff, written in collaboration with AARP, helps you sift through years of clutter, let go of what no longer serves you and identify the items worth keeping so that you can focus on living in the present. For more than 20 years, Paxton has helped people from all walks of life who want to live more simply, declutter and downsize. As a featured cleaner on Hoarders and host of the Emmy-nominated Legacy List with Matt Paxton on PBS, he has identified the psychological roadblocks that most organizational experts routinely miss but

that prevent so many of us from lightening our material load. Using poignant stories from the thousands of individuals and families he has worked with, Paxton brings his signature insight to a necessary task.

As the most current wiring book on the market, you can be confident that your projects will meet national wiring codes. You’ll also spend more time on your project and less time scratching your head thanks to more than 800 clear color photos and more than 40 diagrams that show you exactly what you need to know about home electrical service; all the most common circuits, all the most-needed techniques, all the most essential tools and materials. The information in this book has been created and reviewed by professional electricians under the watchful eye of the experts at BLACK+DECKER.

The home has a picturesque outdoor entertainment space and equipped with Fido’s Fences. It is zoned for membership at the East Hills pool and park district, located in the Roslyn School District. This home is close to houses of worship.

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos announced the launch of the annual “Look for the Zero” public awareness campaign to encourage homeowners to go phosphorus-free when using lawn fertilizer. Consumers should review bag labels for phosphorus content when shopping for fertilizer. Fertilizer labels have three numbers and the number in the middle is the percentage of phosphorus in the product, such as: 22-0-15. More than 100 water bodies in New York cannot be used or enjoyed because of phosphorus overuse. The nutrient runoff law prohibits the use of phosphorus fertilizers unless a new lawn is being established or a soil test shows the lawn does not have enough phosphorus. Only newly established lawns or those with poor soil need phosphorus. Excess phosphorus from lawns can wash off and pollute lakes and streams, harming fish, pets or people that use these waters for recreating and a source of revenue for towns that must close beaches or boating areas. State law requires retailers to post signs notifying customers of the terms of the law and to display phosphorus fertilizer separately from phosphorus-free fertilizer. DEC is encouraging homeowners to practice more sustainable lawn care and choose native plants and grasses, which are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions. These plant species provide nectar, pollen

and seeds that serve as food for native butterflies, insects, birds, and other animals. Organic lawn care can easily be implemented on any lawn and safe and effective alternatives exist for most chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Recommendations for sustainable lawn care include spreading a quarter inch of compost on the lawn to improve moisture retention and soil texture and add beneficial microorganisms and nutrients. Allow grass to grow to three inches and then cut no more than one inch off the top. The “one-third” rule helps develop a deeper root system, which is a natural defense against weeds, disease and drought. Leave lawn clippings after mowing to improve the health of the lawn. Clippings are 80 percent water and contain two to four percent nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients. Leaving clippings saves homeowners time after mowing and reduces the amount of garbage. Grass clippings can account for as much as 10 percent of garbage. —DEC

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Keeping to yourself is easy, though it’s not what’s best for you. Socializing grows you in all sorts of unanticipated ways. This week you’ll enjoy familiar people, but don’t be afraid to branch out. It’s the scary and exciting wild card that will ultimately sharpen you and open new opportunity.

A night at the opera Solution: 22 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Selfishness causes conflicts. Get to the bottom of it by trying to understand what exactly it is that people want. It’s often not what they say or even what they think they want. You’ll sense how people are feeling and what they might be lacking. You can help get everyone on the same page, working together with aligned goals. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s exciting to watch people doing things. It’s not fun at all to watch people looking at screens. This is why the most attractive people are the ones who have at least a few hobbies that do not involve a computer. This week you’ll cultivate talents outside the digital world to stellar effect.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your mind is a beautiful vehicle that can go where other vehicles cannot. You can visit dreams, go back and forth in time and rehearse experiences you’d like to have. The world you create in your imagination will influence the real world. The weekend brings luck for finding new treasures; you’ll add to a collection. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Good communication isn’t something you can set up and then ignore; it needs to be maintained. In the weeks to come you will open and strengthen various lines of communication. This week brings new people into your realm. Start building trust. These ties have the potential to enrich you in untold ways. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your attractions will drive you even when they are not at the front of your mind. Sometimes you will have to remind yourself what excites and delights you. Describe the moment when your passion ignited, and you will feel it flicker anew. The color of the fire may have changed, but it still burns just as hot. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). According to Shakespeare, brevity is the soul of wit. According to Dorothy Parker, brevity is the soul of lingerie. And according to this week, brevity is the soul of pleasure, as too much of any good thing will be a terrible thing. In moderation will be delight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your mind is skeptical of gut feelings. Your instincts come from a mysterious place your mind has never visited and doubts exists. However, more often than not, the wisdom that comes from the center of your being is right. No matter how illogical a notion may seem, give some credence to what feels right. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You believe in equality, and you treat everyone with the same respect. However, you also recognize that people have different needs, expectations and preferences. You’ll pull off something amazing this week. You’ll cater to people specifically yet still uphold the ethos of equality.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ll make something that matters with someone you care about. In the process, you’ll exchange little pieces of your soul. Love is collaboration. Collaboration is love. When it works with a person or a group of people, keep going with the same team. The work gets easier, and the magic gets deeper. An advanced training will prove worth the price of admission. You’ll grow your skills and financial potential. Well-managed money will bring more freedom to you and yours.

Pass 4♣ Pass 5 NT(!!) Pass 7♥ Opening lead — king of spades. Without an explanation, the bidding by North on this deal suggests that he may have taken leave of his senses, but nobody would criticize the final contract, which is laydown. It just goes to show that crazy-looking bids can be very successful, even though they don’t mean what they seem to say. A number of years ago, some genius (according to the Official Encyclopedia of Bridge, it was Dorothy Hayden Truscott) came up with the idea that a jump-shift

response one level higher than necessary indicates a void or a singleton in the suit bid, adequate support for partner’s last-bid suit and sufficient values for at least a game, with a potential for slam opposite a fitting hand. That accounts for North’s three-spade bid, commonly called a “splinter bid.” Certainly the North hand is ideally suited for such a convention. The moment partner opens one heart, North should start thinking in terms of a slam. From North’s viewpoint, the key to the slam is South’s holding in spades and clubs. South could have spade strength and three club losers, or, ideally, club strength and three spade losers. The three-spade bid thus encourages South, who has no wasted values in spades, to cooperate by cuebidding the ace of clubs. North is delighted to hear this bid, leaving South’s trump holding the only question remaining to be resolved. Accordingly, North next invokes the “grand slam force” convention by leaping to five notrump. This commands South to bid seven hearts if he holds two of the top three trump honors. So South dutifully bids the grand slam, with full confidence that North has not gone completely berserk.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You pride yourself on concise communication. If you can’t be brief, you strive to at least be entertaining. And though you wouldn’t choose to ramble on to a captive audience, you are still willing to listen when people have trouble getting to the point. Your grace and social aptitude will earn you plenty of goodwill.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR PARENTS’ OUTRAGE IS MISGUIDED Our community’s latest episode of misguided outrage is over a partnership by the Manhasset School District with Northwell Mental Health, a relationship that many other North Shore Nassau districts enjoy. Sadly, mental health issues in the student population are pervasive. I say this with confidence because I’ve been in a classroom for 27 years—and the pandemic has exacerbated the problem. Did you know that one in five children and adolescents have a mental health diagnosis? Or that suicide is the second leading cause of death for all 10-24-year-olds, with LGBTQ youth four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers? These are real statistics. And they are terrifying. Several weeks ago, Dr. Vera Feura of Northwell made a presentation about the benefits of the Northwell partnership as she entertained an array of inquiries from Manhasset parents. The “concerns” from some were, at best, an embarrassing public venting session and, at worst, an attempt to lead our community down a rabbit hole. Fortunately, these voices aren’t the only voices. At the March 3 Board of Education meeting, we heard from two courageous parents who shared personal stories about their Manhasset children who suffered from mental health issues. One of them made it through, and the other tragically did not. Both speakers implored our community to

exclusive to Manhasset and begs two questions: who is behind the misinformation, and what’s the end game? Book banning? Elimination of the GSA? Preventing educators from teaching complicated history or inconvenient truths? Demonizing any reference to diversity? Implementing a school voucher program? While we react to the latest grievance, the “angry majority” continues to move the goal post. In the process, they are exhausting our public servants and eroding our public education system—the very reason we value our homes and that our homes have the value they do. see the benefits of this program, even if it didn’t impact their own households. But let’s be honest: this latest chapter of discontent isn’t really about Northwell. Anyone who listened to the board presentation would have easily learned that the program is optional. It’s there for those who need it. It is limited to mental health, requires parental consent, and is fully funded by a grant this year. Any effort to position this as government overreach, fiscal irresponsibility, or a fight for parental rights is disingenuous subterfuge. People have every right to ask our Board of Education hard-hitting questions, but the accusatory and angry tone that some have used belies our sense of community and reeks of entitlement. Sadly, this MO isn’t

Manhasset has been in the news quite a bit lately. While PT Barnum once said, “there’s no such thing as bad publicity,” he ran a carnival, and I, for one, don’t want Manhasset to become the latest attraction in a clickbait world. It’s time for the core of our community, the moderate middle, to take back the narrative and allow our district to focus on what it does best: the education of our children. —Frank Bua The writer was a candidate trustee for the Manhasset School District Board of Education in 2021.

Mother’s Group Of Manhasset Continues To Bring Moms Together BY JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonnews.com

ince the early 2000s, the Mother’s Group of Manhasset has provided local moms a way to connect with one another. And this year, so far, has been no different. All local moms with children in elementary school and younger are invited to join and enjoy play groups for the younger children, children’s events, couple events and events just for the moms. “It’s really been successful this year,” Jamie Lambros, the president of the group, reflected. “Our membership has been up dramatically. We have 150 members, some are returning members, others are new members. I think we were less than 50 last year, so that has been great for us and we’ve exceeded our expectations so far.” For moms who had their children or just moved to Manhasset during the pandemic, the group has been very helpful as a way to meet mom-friends, Lambros added. Under the direction of Lambros and the board members of the group, this year has so far been a successful one, with a fall festival at the Onderdonk House attended by 200 people, a “Friends-Giving” movie

There will be another Mother’s Group of Manhasset “Tennis Scramble” this spring. (Mother’s Group of Manhasset)

night, the annual cookie exchange, Breakfast with Santa and other events. The group also

hosted a “Tennis Scramble,” with 25 participants at the Strathmore Vanderbilt Country Club, where moms of all skill levels played games of tennis and enjoyed court-side refreshments. “Our book club continues to meet monthly, as well as our play groups,” Lambros said, adding that the play groups took a short hiatus during the spike of COVID-19 cases earlier this year. “We are looking to resume that in the next few weeks, so that should be really nice to look forward to with warmer weather in the days ahead.” Amy Fathers, a board member of the Manhasset Mother’s Group, said she was looking forward to even more activities. “We have a great series of events coming this spring as we finish out the school year and come out of this pandemic into more normalcy,” Fathers said. “We wanted to give our members a spring full of events

they can look forward to, We’re kicking it off in March.” One of those events includes a Women’s Entrepreneurship Panel on March 29, led by a group of Manhasset mothers who have started their own business. “We’re looking to celebrate these women and also other moms who have maybe taken a step to the side from their career to focus on the family who would be interested in getting back into the workforce,” Lambros said. “We want to give them that extra support to meet other moms who have walked in their shoes before, so they can get a perspective on how these women started their businesses... We’re really trying to get a diverse panel from different industries, different backgrounds, different family [structures] to really represent the community.” There will also be another “Tennis Scramble,” an Easter egg hunt complete with the Easter Bunny and an exercise class series. “We partnered with local fitness studios and we’re going to highlight a different studio each month between March and June,” Lambros said. “It will also help promote the local studios within Manhasset and it will give the moms an opportunity to try the classes they haven’t done before or even heard about. We’re partnering with Mayweather Boxing and Fitness, AKT, Orange Theory and then we have a local mom who is a private yoga instructor who will lead an outdoor yoga class at a private home.” To keep with the theme of self-care, there will be a “Glam Night,” where the moms will get to go to the salon, and then have dinner at the new restaurant Sandro’s. And to finish up the year, there will be an ice cream social right before the summer. To learn more about the Manhasset Mother’s Group, visit manhassetmothers group.com.

Puzzle Party Engages Eighth Graders Eighth grade technology students at Manhasset Secondary School challenged their peers, staff and administrators to solve puzzles they created and built themselves. Using the 3D modeling program Tinkercad, students designed a 3x3x3 cube out of 27 individual pieces. They grouped four, five or six individual pieces together to create a total of six separate, interlocking puzzle pieces. After designing the puzzle on Tinkercad, students drew a multi-view and isometric view of each piece, tapping into some of the lessons they learned prior to this culminating project. Student then brought their puzzles to life using wooden cubes that they color-coded. The eighth graders put their puzzles to the test by inviting Manhasset staff and administrators into the technology classroom for a Puzzle Party. At the beginning of each period, students gave a brief presentation about the project. Staff and administrators then had the opportunity to solve as many puzzles as possible. Solvers were asked to record how long each puzzle took to complete and how difficult it was ranked on a one to five scale. Students also attempted

The puzzle cube project and final Puzzle Party engaged students in hands-on learning where they were able to apply principles they studied in class to a real-life project. In addition, it allowed for peer-to-peer collaboration and brought outside staff members and administrators into the technology classroom to try and solve puzzles. —Submitted by the Manhasset Public Schools

Indians Earn Trip To State Semifinal BY FRANK RIZZO

Posing with Section VIII basketball officials were, from the left, head coach George Bruns, Matthew Perfetto, Michael Mastando, Liam Connor and assistant coach Stu Goldman. to jump out to a big lead and that was the recipe for the win.” Liam Buckley, Manhasset’s strong inside player, missed most of the first half after picking up two quick fouls. He helped break open the game late in the third, scoring 12 of his 16 points in the period. After Kings Park got within 38-34, the Indians went on a 10-0 run to open daylight. A highlight was an alley oop pass from Connor to Buckley, who soared to grab the ball and lay it in. Playing “Mr. Outside,” Buckley ended the run with a three-pointer. The Indians then gave Kings Park a taste of its own medicine, as Connor converted a steal into a bucket as the buzzer sounded to give his team a 54-36 lead at the end of three. Manhasset led by as many as 22 points in the fourth quarter, but the lead somehow never felt safe; Kings Park had some long range artillery and its trap press had occasional success. With a little more than a minute left, both coaches put in their subs. Oscar Cellura elicited a roar from the Manhasset student fan section behind the basket by sinking a short corner jumper to close out the scoring. Mike Notias paced the Indians with 22 points, seven rebounds, five assists and two blocks. Buckley also snared seven boards.

“I knew we had it from the start,” Buckley said. “I think we’ve played harder teams. Garden City, I think, had more talent. We did everything our coaches told us and that’s why we won.” Connor said, “We knew they were going to be a good team. They were originally undefeated, but they had a tough game against East Hills, so we knew it was going to be a big challenge. We prepared really hard.” “Did this feel better than the county championship?” he was asked. “They were both awesome feelings, but I think the feeling of winning this and getting to spend another week with these guys is awesome. It’s more than I could ask for.” The pandemic-shortened 2021 season gave motivation to the squad. “We worked together all summer long,” Connor said. “We knew we had a great team and if we stayed with the plan for each game, we knew we had something special here.” Often, athletes are able to tune out the roar of the crowd. The raucous cheering section of Manhasset students definitely gave a lift to the Indians. “We’re a high-energy team and feed off the crowd when things are going well,” Connor observed. “And when we get the crowd involved there’s really nothing better than

wo more wins. That’s how close the state Class A crown is for Manhasset (24-1). It would be the ultimate hoop trophy in the well-stocked case. The team will be making the trip to the traditional home of the state championship, Glens Falls, next weekend for a semifinal game. Three years ago, the Indians lost the state semifinal to Poughkeepsie, 74-63, keeping the game close until the final quarter. Manhasset will once again face Poughkeepsie, who beat Maine-Endwell 52-37 in the regional final on March 13. In the Long Island Class A championship game the Indians downed Kings Park 75-57 on March 12 at Hofstra University. The Suffolk champs came into the title tilt undefeated against schools in its size classification. In fact, the Kingsmen’s only loss came to Suffolk AA titlist Hills East in a makeshift Suffolk championship game days earlier, dropping them to 24-1. To which Manhasset , paraphrasing the old Shania Twain hit, might have responded, “Well, that don’t impress us,” as it trailed only twice en route to the win. The Indians avoided the opening-minutes cold spell of the week before against Garden City. They quickly jumped out to an 11-3 lead before the Kingsmen responded with an 8-0 run to knot the game. The guests hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to end the first and a driving layup as the buzzer sounded for the break, cutting what had been a 27-18 Manhasset lead to 27-23. “They’re a tough group. They counterpunched,” Manhasset coach George Bruns said of Kings Park. Liam Connor (18 points) was asked about his team’s reaction at halftime after the buzzer-beater, which energized the Kings Park crowd. “Our coaches told us it’s only one shot. We’re not going to focus on it too much,” Connor replied. “We just focused on the next four minutes of play coming out of the second half. In the third quarter we were able

that. It’s high school sports, and I got all my friends in the crowd. It’s the greatest feeling.” Stu Goldman has been by Bruns’ side as assistant coach for 20 years. “This is a great group of kids,” he said. “They prepared so well. Everything we asked them to do they did, They were so prepared to play basketball that every single game, every single night it was great and they’re just wonderful to coach.” The starters/main subs from the championship squad from three years ago, he noted, were all seniors, while this year’s edition had a nice mix of seniors and underclassmen. “When were you thinking of pulling your hair out today?” he was asked. “I was pulling my hair out until the coaches put in the substitutes,” he laughed. “Kings Park is a really good team. A really well-coached team. They do everything well. We knew when you’re going to go [up against] a team that went 24-1 you’re going to get a legitimate basketball game.” Goldman praised Kings Park’s Chris Rube as “one of the great coaches out here. He’s young and he’s into it.” “We’re going up north!” Bruns exclaimed to his players after the game. “Enjoy your moment, and let’s take another two next week.” “What worried you about Kings Park?” Bruns was asked. “First of all, they’re very well-coached,” he replied. “You watch them, you scout them, you get the video. We knew we’d have a tough time. They’ve got size, they could score, they throw a lot of different defenses at you.” “We were prepared,” he added. “That’s something in life that kids have to realize. Whatever they do, preparation is the key. We prepared in the classroom beautifully, watching videos. They were really student-athletes.” In all, he had little to be critical of his team’s performance that day. “In a 32-minute game, we didn’t make too many bad decisions,” he said. “It was a pleasure to watch them play. They do it in

But it’s also easily accessible to the adjacent Plandome Manor railroad parking lot, enabling parking for the various board meetings. Residents did not like the idea of the increased traffic that daily visitors will bring. At a resident’s request the village kept track of a month’s worth of daily visits and Ed Butt, the building inspector closely involved with the project, said that on average, one to two people per day visited the current town hall and the figure should not change for a future one. Donno also pointed out that Clerk Lisa Mancuso is the only full-time staffer using

the building, while Butt and Treasurer Marie DePalo are there only certain days per week. A speaker questioned the need for a parking lot and driveway/curb at all (currently, the property has no curb), wondering why staff and visitors could not use the public lot nearby. But Butt pointed out that as a public building, it had to provide handicapped parking and Trustee O’Neill added that on-site parking would make it convenient for the seniors and those with small kids.

INDIANS from page 17 practice and there’s no reason not to expect them to do it in a game.” “Did you expect to reach this point at the beginning of the season?” Bruns was asked. “I knew we were good. We just played under the radar,” he replied. “When people said, ‘You’re good,’ Coach Stu would say, ‘You know, we’re young, we’re going to be pushed around.’ I just kept my mouth shut.” In retrospect, he said, the 60-56 loss to the hosts in the Malverne Tournament on Dec. 29 was a silver lining, taking the burden of an undefeated season off his team’s shoulders. Bruns also had praise for Kings Park coach, noting that Rube had attended his long-running summer basketball camp years ago. The outcome proved that, for one game at least, Bruns can still impart lessons to his former pupil. Mike Notias (3) and Timmy Colombos are greeted by happy fans after the game.
