TOP STORY

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

500 For 500 Finalists Announced

Public invited to see scholarship winners read essays BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

n the six years that Dr. Cynthia Paulis has been hosting the 500 for 500 Essay Contest, she has consistently been impressed by the Massapequa High School seniors who have submitted compositions every year. The 500 For 500 essay contest was started seven years ago when Paulis decided to do something when former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick started kneeling at the beginning of games when the National Anthem was being played. The inaugural year’s theme was, “Why are you proud to be an American?” and last year’s question was “Why are veterans important to this country?” Since then, 10 students have received $500 scholarships. This year’s theme was “Why is it important for you to vote in an election?” This year’s competition kicked off on Veterans Day and the deadline to submit essays was Jan. 30, a date Paulis picked so this written challenge didn’t fall between the cracks during the holiday season. And while the contest normally averages about 22 entries, 30 seniors put pen to paper for this go-round. Suffice it to say, this batch of submissions moved Paulis. “I was most impressed not only by the quality of the essays, but the level of historical research they put into each essay,” she said. “There was a clear understanding that the right to vote is a hard-fought privilege earned by generations before them. They also realized that in now turning 18, they are given this amazing power to have their voice heard not only nationally, but in local elections that have even more of an impact on them.” Paulis was also inspired by the obvious preparation and compassion these essay-writing nascent voters showed in their written word. “They touched on how few young people vote in elections,” Paulis said. “I was very moved on how empathetic they were in realizing they have the power to not only make a difference, but to speak for those who have been disenfranchised by not being able or capable of voting, but though illness, disability and race. It was very gratifying to see they realized that they are the future and if their generation doesn’t step up and vote, democracy can be lost and corrupt and inept people will be in charge.” The response to this year’s contest forced Paulis to go with four finalists: Julianne Hisako Pulizzi and Brenden Joseph Debrosse of Massapequa Park and Danielle Kennedy Finn and Colin James Mushorn of Massapequa. As has been the case in prior contests, all four seniors will be asked to come out and read their essays before the final results are announced. This year’s ceremony will be held on Tuesday, March 29, at 6:30 p.m. at the Bar Harbor Library located at 40 Bar Harbor Ln. in Massapequa Park. The event is free and the public is invited to attend. Top winners each receive $500 and second-place winners (a first this year) will also receive a scholarship award amount disclosed at awards ceremony. What did you think of this story?

Genre Con: Farmingdale Schools Celebrate Literature, Art And Pop Culture

alers Assemble! The Farmingdale School District hosted Genre Con on March 5. Genre Con is a celebration of art, literature and pop culture organized by the school’s library staff. The day was packed with author visits, writers workshops, drawing lessons, contests and photo ops. “I am so excited to bring Genre Con back for the fourth time,” Howitt Middle School librarian Julie Ehrenpreis said. “We are thrilled to provide a fun-filled event for our students. Now, more than ever, our students need something engaging to participate in.” Genre Con, usually held at Howitt Middle School, was so well received that Farmingdale High School got in on the fun this year and had their first-ever Genre Con event as well. School librarians Ehrenpreis and Jennifer Bleicher organized Genre Con at their buildings with help from staff and student volunteers. “Genre Con 2022 at the high school was a tremendous success,” Bleicher said. “Genre Con provided a great opportunity for students to socialize and have fun. Our special guests inspired our aspiring student authors and artists. The support from SEPTA and the Farmingdale community was wonderful. I feel blessed to work in such a great town.” Farmingdale students who participated in Genre Con were treated to several engaging activities. There were scavenger hunts, costume contests, light writing and photo ops with Darth Vader, Tusken Raiders and troopers from the 501st Legion. A popular activity at Howitt Middle School was manga lessons from comic artist Misako Rocks. Manga is a style of drawing, originally from Japan, used in comic books and graphic novels. Students practiced manga drawing, while Rocks guided them and answered questions. Farmingdale High School students also had the opportunity to workshop with several authors. Dark fantasy, horror author and Farmingdale alumnus Trevor Firetog appeared at the high school and spoke

Farmingdale Man Arrested For Hicksville Assault Eighth Squad detectives report the arrest of a Farmingdale man for an incident that occurred on Sunday, Feb. 20, at 1:15 p.m. in Hicksville. According to detectives, 26-year-old Salvatore M. Alani became involved in a domestic dispute with his 30-yearold girlfriend at 828 S Oyster Bay Rd. As a result of the disturbance, the female victim suffered several abrasions to the right side of her neck and called police. Upon police arrival, officers were informed that Alani was intoxicated and broke a flat screen television before fleeing the scene. Responding officers eventually located him a short distance away. As officers attempted to place Alani in custody, he became combative, refusing to comply with verbal commands and spat in an officer’s face. After resisting arrest, Alani was eventually taken into custody. The defendant,

while acting in a manner that was harmful to himself and others was transported to a local hospital for treatment. A subsequent investigation by officers revealed that he was in violation of protective stay away order involving his girlfriend. As a result of this altercation, two officers suffered injuries and were treated at a local hospital. The female victim refused medical attention at the scene. Defendant Alani is charged with two counts of second-degree assault, first-degree criminal contempt, second-degree criminal contempt, fourth-degree criminal mischief, second-degree harassment, disorderly conduct, second-degree obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest. He will be arraigned when medically practical. —Submitted by the Nassau County Police Department

CHAMBER NEWS

Levittown Chamber Spotlight On Business T he Levittown Chamber of Commerce would like to introduce new member Deana Velardi-Alejandro, the proud owner of DD with Dee Interior Design Consulting whose mission is to provide a unique, friendly and approachable, “Decorating/Design/Home Staging” experience; to accommodate a customer’s decorating or selling needs within their budget. She is also a Certified Home Stager who has 30-plus years of experience, starting out with a degree in Fashion Merchandising and a degree in Interior Decorating before working for companies like Anne Klein, Calico Corners, Home Depot, IKEA and Ethan Allen. Velardi-Alejandro always wanted to be her own boss and use her knowledge to help others who are possibly “design challenged” or who “just don’t have the time” to pull it all together. She said, “There is great reward and satisfaction with helping others in need with something that comes so naturally to me. Over the years I have met many wise and successful individuals who have taught me to, ‘Always remember who you are, believe in yourself, work hard, respect others, do what you enjoy; The rest will fall in place.’” Although currently the sole proprietor of her business, Velardi-Alejandro has aspirations to grow sooner rather than later by bringing on local college interns who are studying design. The goal is so she can pass all the knowledge and expertise she has gained over the years and is still learning on to them. Velardi-Alejandro was fortunate to have work-studies and internships throughout her schooling, which gave her the springboard she needed to go for her dreams and she is looking to share that with younger generations. Velardi-Alejandro lives in Levittown with her husband of 21 years, three boys and their family dog. In her words, “I am a

Mompreneur, who welcomes the various challenges in her life that both sides have to offer; all while resolving the creative solutions and reaping the rewarding benefits.” In her spare time, Velardi-Alejandro’s hobbies and activities include dancing, walking, yoga, beaching, biking, crafting and baking. Most of all, enjoying spending quality time with her family, either watching or playing sports, and of course, Family Movie Night. Velardi-Alejandro considers her business different from her competitors in that she is a self-described “Down to Earth Interior Designer” who offers a “Decorating Simple Solutions Session” at only $475. This is usually for the DIY’er, who just wants to pick her brain. This service includes Velardi-Alejandro applying her expertise to a customer’s home for two to four hours going through all areas of decorating that may need help and may include paint, tile, window treatment selection and furnishings layouts. This assessment may include accessory and artwork selection and placement and confirmation of a contractor’s layouts. Velardi-Alejandro also offers a complimentary phone consultation to discuss project needs and service options to see if it’s a good fit to work together. Varying holiday and seasonal discounts are offered and a special offer to any colleagues or networking affiliates, with a 15 percent discount on any service.

Dwyer Family Remembers Its Deep Hicksville Roots BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

oug Dwyer always had a tradition on St. Patrick’s Day where he would dig into his family’s photo archive and text over what was usually a black-and-white image of this clan’s long-ago Hicksville roots. Long before Hicksville became a major New York City bedroom community and experienced the South Asian demographic shift of recent decades, it was an agricultural community. Hicksville’s fortunes went from making money for the pickle industry that was derailed by a cucumber blight that happened right before World War I, to switching to

spuds and making profits via that crop before a 1940s potato blight allowed those same fields to be converted into post-World War II housing developments. Dwyer, who now calls Garden City home and owns the Side Line Grill, is proud of his family’s origins, which can be traced to ancestors owning Dwyer’s Farm next to Holy Trinity High School on Route 106 and Dwyer’s Inn, across the street from St. Ignatius Church before it was torn down when Route 107 was widened. As Dwyer is quick to point out, “I always remind my kids to remember their roots on St. Patrick’s Day, and in our family’s case, it’s potatoes.”

Assemblymember Charles Lavine (D-Plainview) has secured a programmatic funding grant for the PlainviewOld Bethpage School District to fund its robotics program. On Friday, March 4, Lavine visited Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School to announce the grant and meet with members of the robotics team, called the ‘POBots.’ The students carried out a full demonstration, explaining how robots are built and operated by students and then used in competitions against other schools. Lavine said he was most impressed with how the students work together—even with other teams during competitions. “Public education is the heart and soul of this community,” Lavine said. “It’s critical that we make sensible investments in our communities and

funding a program as important as this, which stresses working together, makes me tremendously proud.” Assemblymember Charles Lavine represents New York’s 13th Assembly District in Nassau County. He presently serves as Chair of the Judiciary Committee and is a member of the Committee on Codes, Ethics and Guidance, Rules and Insurance. Lavine previously served as Chair of the Election Law Committee, Chair of the Committee on Ethics and Guidance, co-Chair of the New York State Legislative Ethics Commission, and as Chair of the bipartisan Taskforce that produced the Assembly Speaker’s Policy on Sexual Harassment, Retaliation and Discrimination. —Submitted by the office of Assembymember Charles Lavine

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

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.

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. Wallpaper in color and pattern will be on trend in nature-related themes, and eventually so will the ancient, distressed wall, Venetian plaster, etc. As for color, I am known for my sophisticated neutral palette and sublime use of color. I love

LIVING TRENDS from page 6B color combinations, but not individual colors per se. Color will be more vibrant in acid greens and medium-toned blues taking center stage. 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.

February 8, 2022 by Matt Paxton and Jordan Michael Smith America’s top cleaning expert and star of the hit series Legacy List with Matt Paxton distills his fail-proof approach to decluttering and downsizing.

Updated 8th Edition For more than 15 years, BLACK+DECKER The Complete Guide to Wiring has been the best-selling home wiring manual in North America. With this 8th edition, get the clearest, most up-to-date advice available.

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. You can find plenty of articles and videos about wiring online or in other

publications, but only The Complete Guide to Wiring has passed the rigorous test to make it part of the best DIY series from the brand you trust.

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.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s a shroud of mystery over a relationship, especially its future. This doesn’t have to cause anyone stress. The less you want and need out of the tie, the more lighthearted and playful you feel. Maybe it’s better that you have no idea where things are going. This is what makes it so exciting.

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.

Nassau BOCES Appoints New Deputy Superintendent The Nassau BOCES Board of Education has named James Widmer of Farmingdale its new Deputy Superintendent, effective last month. Nassau BOCES is the largest Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) in New York State and serves the 56 school districts in Nassau County. “Mr. Widmer has been instrumental in the ongoing success of Nassau BOCES,” District Superintendent Dr. Robert R. Dillon said. “We are confident that he will excel in his new role and help to build the BOCES of the future.” Widmer will provide guidance for all of the agency’s programs and services. He will also assume the role of the district superintendent when Dr. Dillon is unavailable. He will continue to be responsible for the agency’s nearly $400 million annual budget. “Mr. Widmer brings a long history of accomplishments to Nassau BOCES,” BOCES Board President Susan Bergtraum said. “He is masterful in his ability to make the complicated nature of the Nassau BOCES budget easily understood by administration, the board and our component districts. His dedication to

our agency and its mission is beyond question. We are thrilled to have him as our deputy superintendent.” Widmer joined Nassau BOCES in 2003 as a senior accountant and rose through the ranks. Prior to joining the agency, he worked in private industry for 16 years. He holds an M.B.A. from Dowling College and earned his undergraduate degree at Hofstra University. He has school business administration and school district administration certifications. —Submitted by Nassau BOCES

Celebrating Famous African American Jazz Greats With Unique Exhibit Members of Hicksville High School’s Rho Kappa chapter of the National Social Studies Honor Society created a unique exhibit to remember famous African American jazz artists for Black History month. Students created descriptive posters about each artist accompanied with a QR code linking to the artist’s music. The exhibit has been strategically placed in a bustling hallway giving students something to read as well as inviting them to scan the QR code linking them directly to songs performed by the artists. Notable musicians on display include Louis Armstrong, Jon Batiste, Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker and Esperanza Spalding. Students learned about the contributions of Louis Armstrong, a native of Queens, and the haunting

and bittersweet words of Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit.” Some students recognized Jon Batiste, one of the composers to the animated film Soul. Students can listen to American bassist

Esperanza Spalding, who is one of the youngest jazz musicians to gain international fame. Social studies teacher Kathleen Farrell and Rho Kappa adviser shared, “The students

felt the QR code was a great way to introduce the music of the jazz greats in an intriguing interactive way!” The mission of the Rho Kappa chapter of the National Social Studies

Honor Society is to encourage an interest in, understanding of and appreciation for the social studies. —Submitted by Hicksville School District

Student Swimmer Breaks School’s Four-Decade-Old Record

BY TYLER MROCZEK

with George Dikeman, who had previously held the record for nearly four full decades. “I told Xavier that it was only fair to reach out to Dikeman and let him know that he had beaten his record,” Hack said. “Xavier really took that and ran with it. Before I knew it, he was telling me that he and his dad had already spoken with Dikeman on the phone and told him he broke his record. He was both shocked and

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

fter 40 years, one JFK Middle Schooler officially broke the swimming team’s 50-yard breaststroke record and made the Bethpage school’s history books. Seventh-grader Xavier Kulak swam for years on club teams before joining head coach Jeff Hack on the JFK swim team, which is made up of only five members. Kulak completed the 50-yard breaststroke at the last meet of the season with a time of 35.28 seconds, though Hack, who has been coaching the swim team at JFK for more than 20 years, says the current team’s small size make their impressive times rarely eligible for an overall meet win. “Typically, there are six lanes in a pool,” Hack says. “You get points for each lane. So, even if we were to pull first place every time in every event, we would still lose the meet. Other teams always get more points collectively at the end of the day.” When Kulak and the rest of his teammates learned about this disadvantage, the five of them decided to take the competitive sport to the next level—by competing against themselves. “At first, the boys were bummed,” Hack says. “I said, ‘look, we’re just going to go for our personal records. And then, we started looking at the middle school’s record boards, which we barely ever look at, because these times were so unattainable for so many of the students that are just trying the sport out for the first time.” Over the past several months, the small team spent countless practices perfecting specific strokes, each time improving their technique and speed. According to Hack, it was not difficult to get the close-knit team to work hard. “These guys show up and not only do they have talent, but they enjoy swimming,” Hack smiled. “So, I said let’s immortalize your names and let’s get them up on that record board. None of the times were too far off from what the kids had been getting during practice anyway.”

Kulak was the closest to beating the 36.90 second 50-yard breaststroke record set by George Dikeman in December 1982. “I was trying all season to break Dikeman’s record,” Kulak said. “So, I was really going for it during our last meet. My teammates and I were shocked. They were all cheering for me throughout the race and I was speechless afterwards.” Kulak’s celebration continued the next day when his name was represented on the board as one of JFK Middle School’s official record breakers. “I brought in a drill,” Hack laughed. “I told these boys that as soon as they broke a record, I would go up and put their name up there myself. When Xavier actually did it, we all just went crazy.” According to Hack, the entire team is very supportive of one another, which made Kulak’s record all the more exciting. “It means a lot to me to be in the record books,” Kulak said. “This really inspired me to go farther in life and break more records.” Following his accomplishment, Kulak decided to get into contact

happy, since even back then it was a hard time to beat.” Kulak also received an outpouring of support from both teachers and administrators at JFK, including a note from the principal and various emails from staff throughout the school. The seventh grader is also recognized for being helpful, encouraging and well-behaved by both his teammates and Hack. “Next year, even though they’re

in eighth grade, I think they’ll jump up to varsity, because they’re that good,” assured Hack. “I understand it, but I’m going to miss having them on the team. They’re just such great kids.” Though the regular season has ended, Hack explains that Kulak and the rest of the team continue practicing every week in hopes to break more records. —Tyler Mroczek is a contributing writer for Anton Media Group

Local Wrestlers Excel At State Championship BY JAMES ROWAN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Wrestlers from MacArthur, Division and Island Trees excelled at the New York State high school wrestling championships at MVP Arena in Albany on Feb. 25 and 26. MacArthur’s Killian Foy made his third trip to the State championships and finished third in the 138-pound weight class. Foy lost to eventual champion PJ Duke of Minisink Valley in the semifinals. The senior secured third place by pinning Casper Stewart at 1:48. Foy finished second in the States as a freshman and fourth as a sophomore. He will wrestle for Pittsburgh next year. MacArthur senior James Clarkson finished sixth in the 215-pound weight class. Representing Island Trees at 152 pounds, Ryan Romano won his opening-round match by technical fall, 15-0 over Jeremy Rehburg of Duanesburg. Romano lost in the second round to Vandavian Way, 2-0. However, Romano won two more matches in the wrestlebacks before finally losing, 5-1, to Braidon Woodward. “The overall atmosphere was truly unmatched and just truly such a cool experience to be there with and represent my family and the people who pushed me every single day as a person and wrestler,” said Romano, of his time in Albany.

Ryan Mastropaolo, also from Island Trees, finished sixth at 172 pounds. Ryan lost in the second round but wrestled back to win three matches and earned his spot on the podium. “Being able to go upstate and represent Island Trees while wearing that section 8 singlet was a once in a lifetime opportunity.” Mastropaolo said. “At the end of the day, Ryan and I went up there to compete and I am confident to say that we made Island Trees proud of our hard work.” Division’s county champion Kyle Moore also performed well up in Albany. Moore made it to the third round of the 132-pound division, beating Rocky Point’s Nick LaMorte 7-5, before losing to Alex Booth of Indian River. Booth

ended up finishing third in the state. “It felt good to represent Nassau County upstate as their 132 pounder,” said Moore, a senior. “I felt honored that my hard work got me onto the New York State Team. Wrestling is a family tradition for myself and my two brothers JD & Shane and I will continue pushing my boundaries in college.” Section 8, which represents Nassau County, finished third with 161.5 team points. For individual team scores, Wantagh was second in the state, with 65.5 team points. MacArthur was seventh in the state with 41 team points. —James Rowan is a Levittown resident
