Fiber Art Inspires Environmental Activism

his April, Residents Forward will help Port Washington join countless municipalities around the globe in celebrating Earth Month—igniting an environmental education revolution to save the planet. Under the canopy of fiber artist and community activist Allison White’s Yarn Arms Around Port project—which will span fifty trees from the boulevard to the bay—a series of actions are planned to help residents emotionally connect with trees and their superpower role in taking care of our planet. “Art creates community, brings people together, and opens space for dialogue and the exchange of ideas,” said Residents Forward Executive Director Trish Class. “We are using Allison White’s brilliant community art project as an opportunity to talk about things like climate change that often feel removed.” The Yarn Arms Around Port project launched in October, bringing together hundreds of residents to crochet granny squares and “hands,” which have become yarn arm hugs that will be wrapped around fifty trees along Port Washington’s mile-long Main Street for the month of April. The project has been greeted with an outpouring of community enthusiasm and volunteer participation,

in honor of White’s birthday. Residents Forward has planned three initiatives to explore the feelings and learning inspired by this art: • An “I Love Trees” Video Contest will allow residents of all ages and backgrounds to share why they love trees. Three lucky winners will receive a $100 gift card to a local merchant of choice and be included in Residents Forward’s “I Love Trees” Video Compilation. • A “Be A Friend to Trees” Interactive Story Time is planned for the youngest members of the community under one of the yarn-armed trees. and valuable assistance and support • “Hello My Name is...” Tree Labels are have been provided by hundreds being made by Weber Middle School of individuals, as well as by the students for each tree, introducing Town of North Hempstead, the them by name (common and Port Washington Public Library, scientific) and sharing the energy Landmark on Main Street, the Art they save, the carbon dioxide and Guild of Port Washington, Be the pollutants they remove and the Rainbow, the Cow Neck Historical stormwater they intercept.

They learned that the trunks, branches, foliage and roots of trees hold on to carbon and store it, which helps reduce the impact of greenhouse gas emissions. This project fostered a sense of pride in community and awareness of nature. Thank you to Residents Forward for giving young people a chance to learn in such a fun way.” “Partnering with Residents Forward and having the opportunity to realize my idea of building community through the creation of a fiber art installation as long as Main Street has been an extraordinary process,” added White. “Having this artwork become the catalyst for environmental awareness and education is immensely gratifying.

PWWD Co-Hosts Webinar To Educate Irrigation Contractors

YOUR LOCAL NEWS

Contractors’ help is vital in ensuring residents meet mandatory 2022 irrigation requirements.

he Port Washington Water District (PWWD), alongside the Roslyn Water District (RWD) and Irrigation Association of New York (IANY), hosted an Irrigation Contractor Training Webinar in February. The purpose of the webinar was to educate irrigation contractors on the best ways to help residents conserve water and follow the district’s mandatory 2022 irrigation requirements. “Water conservation is more important now than ever in the Port Washington Water District, as we are at reduced capacity with multiple wells offline while treatment is being built to remove emerging contaminants,” said PWWD Commissioner Mindy Germain. “Irrigation contractors play a vital role in ensuring that residents conserve water during irrigation season, as many residents rely on contractors to turn on and set up their systems for the season. We are thankful to all those who attended and we hope that the contractors can use

what they learned to educate residents on what our district needs from them when it comes to water conservation.” The two districts educated the contractors on the various mandatory requirements to which residents must adhere during the upcoming peak irrigation season. This includes sticking to Nassau County’s Odd/Even Lawn Watering Ordinance, only watering during specific times of day based on where residents live and cutting back on their sprinkler times by four minutes per zone. One of the key messages was that the districts are requiring all residents to convert their standard irrigation controllers to smart irrigation controllers by 2025. Smart controllers are among the best tools to help conserve water, as they are able to read local weather forecasts and sense the amount of rain on the ground to ensure that lawns receive the exact amount of water needed to remain healthy without overwatering. “We greatly appreciate the efforts of

the districts and the IANY in putting this webinar together,” said Joe Tavalero, webinar attendee and owner of Custom Irrigation Corporation. “It is invaluable for us to know not only how to use the tools at our disposal as efficiently as possible, but also how to help our customers preserve our environment. We are looking forward to using what we learned to help teach our customers about how they can best conserve water this spring and summer, especially by using smart controllers.” In addition, Mike Dwyer of the Irrigation Association of New York and irrigation equipment expert Irving Pena spoke at length about how contractors can choose the best tools for any specific job, including smart irrigation controllers, rotors, spray bodies, nozzles, drip irrigation and smart sensors. This ensures that contractors are not only working as efficiently as possible, but also that residents whose homes are serviced by these tools do not run the

risk of overwatering or underwatering specific areas of their property. “The Irrigation Association of New York is proud to play a role in educating contractors on reducing water usage while still keeping landscapes green and healthy,” said Dwyer. “Long Island’s single-source aquifer is one of our most crucial natural resources, and we are happy to do everything we can to help our customers preserve it.” “With all of the information that was provided during the webinar, we are confident that these contractors have the tools and knowledge necessary to work with residents in conserving water during the warmer months of the year,” said Commissioner Germain. “We are excited to see the positive impact the contractors will have on helping residents meet our mandatory irrigation requirements and achieve the district’s crucial water conservation goals.” —Submitted by the Port Washington Water District

Port Resident Named New Chief Legal Officer Of MJHS Health System

etropolitan Jewish Health System (MJHS) announced that veteran health care attorney Christina Van Vort has been named the new chief legal officer. She assumes the position previously occupied by Robert Leamer who, after 24 years with the not-for-profit organization, is transitioning into the role of part-time senior counsel. “After a year-long search, we are pleased to have someone with Van Vort’s extensive background move into this exceedingly important role,” said David Wagner, president and CEO of MJHS Health System. “As an accomplished attorney, with substantial health care expertise, she will be an invaluable addition to our

organization,” Wagner added.

Her expertise also extends to not-for-profit governance and corporate law within the health care arena. “I was drawn to MJHS Health System because of its compelling

mission,” said Van Vort. “I look forward to working with David, and my colleagues on the leadership team, in supporting the continued excellence and growth of the organization as well as addressing the challenges facing our industry,” she continued. Van Vort began her legal career at Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts, now Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman.

Chabad of Port Washington Hebrew School Participates In JewQ

n February, more than 500 people from all over Long Island gathered to watch a celebration of Jewish knowledge Last week, 50 students from 10 different Hebrew schools across Long Island represented their communities on the JewQ stage at the regional championship event. Hosted by Chabad of Long Island, the regional event united over 500 kids in celebration of Jewish knowledge. Over the past few weeks, JewQ champions have been studying harder than ever in anticipation of this regional championship event. “JewQ has made a huge splash in our community,” says Rabbi Tuvia Teldon, director of Chabad of Long Island and one of the event’s official judges. “The amount of knowledge the kids are walking away with is impressive.” The Long Island competition is just one in a series of regional events taking place across the globe before the international Shabbaton

Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, chairman of CKids, is most impressed by the kids’ excitement. “Seeing the children so passionate about their heritage assures us a bright Jewish future.” JewQ is designed to give students grades three through six the opportunity to master the fundamentals of Jewish knowledge.

End Of An Era As Rice Steps Down Spent 30 years in public service

BY JOE SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

n a surprise development, Kathleen Rice, a four-term congresswoman from Garden City, announced last month that she would not seek re-election for New York’s Fourth Congressional District in 2022. Late last year, Thomas R. Suozzi, who represents the Third Congressional District, announced that he also would not seek re-election. Suozzi is running for governor in the Democratic Party primary against Kathy Hochul. For the first time that anyone can remember, both members of that body representing the bulk of Nassau County will not be up for re-election in the same year. “As I turn to the next chapter of my own personal and professional story, I do so with profound thanks to the community leaders, colleagues and staff who have lived our shared commitment to service with courage and humility,” Rice said while making her announcement, which ran as follows: “I entered public service 30 years ago and never left. It has been the honor of my life to serve as a prosecutor, district attorney and US Representative in my beloved home state of New York. I have always believed that holding political office is neither destiny nor a right. As elected officials, we must give all we have and then know when it is time to allow others to serve. “Though I will not be running for re-election to Congress this year, I will remain focused on protecting our democracy and serving my constituents throughout the rest of my term.” With the announcement, Rice is the 30th incumbent Democratic retiring from Congress this year. The announcement was a surprise in that 2022 redistricting efforts were favorable to the congresswoman. The Democrats control the entire legislative process and the new Fourth District was drawn up to give the Democrats a solid eight point percentage advantage for any GOP candidate. For now, this ends the political career of a lawmaker who for nearly two decades has run for both countywide and statewide elections. During that time, Rice won seven of the eight elections she campaigned for. A practicing attorney, Rice, in 1992, was named a federal prosecutor in both the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Phil-

candidates running for the nomination of their respective parties.

Vying To Replace Rice Unlike the Third CD, which has drawn seven Democrats and one Republican to date, only three people have declared for the Fourth. Bill Stanniford of Lawrence, a Republican, touts himself as a “Marine and Tech-Entrepreneur.” He is currently serving as the chairman of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Committee at the Queens Chamber of Commerce. In reaction to Rice’s announcement, he made the following statement: “Kathleen Rice saw the writing on the wall and knew that the people of Nassau County are going to deliver a reckoning to the Democrat Party this November, just as they did last fall under the tremendous President Joe Biden signs the Puppies Assisting Wounded Servicememleadership of Nassau GOP Chairman Joe bers (PAWS) for Veterans Therapy Act, Wednesday, Aug. 25, 2021, in the Cairo.

Nassau Dome Lit Up With Blue, Orange To Honor Late Islander BY JENNIFER CORR

jcorr@antonmedia.com

ockey Hall of Famer Clark Gillies was known for more than what he did on ice. The four-time New York Islander Stanley Cup winner, who died of cancer on at the age of 67 on Jan. 21, is remembered for his kindness. During and after his career, according to the National Hockey League, he served the community through The Clark Gillies Foundation, a non-profit that helped children who are physically, developmentally and/or financially challenged. And for his monumental legacy made on and off the ice, the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building was lit up in blue and orange on the night of Feb. 18. “We are here to celebrate the life of not only a great athlete, but a great humanitarian,” said Nassau County Bruce Blakeman, who was wearing an Islanders jersey that morning at the press conference. “Clark Gillies played for the Islanders for 12 seasons. He was the captain of the Islanders from 1977 to 1979 and won four Stanley Cups. Four in a row.” With him to honor the late hockey player was Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky, and retired Islanders Bob Nystrom and Butch Goring. Blakeman said the goal of the day was to recognize Gillies’ achievements not only as an athlete, and he hoped as drivers passed by the lit-up building that night, they would remember his commitment to the community. Ledecky said it was an honor for Gillies and his family to have the building lit up in Gillies honor, and that to further honor him, the Islanders team would wear the number nine, his number, for the rest of the season. “Clark was a crier and he cared so much about people,” Ledecky said of Gillies work through his organization where 100 percent of proceeds went to improving the quality of life for children. “He would take us to the hospital where he was always working with children.” He also recalled how Gillies exposed him and fellow Islanders owners, Scott Malkin and Dewey Shay, to the history of the Islanders, and the tradition of the team that is represented by the jerseys. But,

(Photo courtesy Nassau County) Blakeman remarked, Gillies was also known to make people laugh, especially with the story of how Gillies used one of his Stanley Cups to feed his dog. “There is no greater man than Clark Gillies,” Nystrom said, recalling the first time he met him. “We became the best of friends. I love this guy. I also envied him. He has such a zest for life. Yes, he was one hell of a hockey player, but that was only a short time in his life. What he did after hockey is his legacy.” The Clark Gillies Foundation helped children by paying for medical services, providing family financial aid and holding events that enrich the lives of children. The Clark Gillies Pediatric Unit at Huntington Hospital, according to the foundation’s website, is another project that Gillies was passionate about. The foundation raised $1 million to help the construction of the unit. “He dedicated his life to the people of Long Island,” Nystrom said. Gillies’ ability to help others was also found on the ice and in the

locker room. Nystrom remembered Gillies always bringing love, protection, leadership and the ability to deflect pressure. He was the ultimate team mate, Nystrom said. “He wasn’t a guy in the dressing room who would say a lot, but I remember a streak where we weren’t playing good hockey and everybody was upset, including the coach, Al Arbour,” Goring said. “I remember getting up in the dressing room and saying a few things to the guys, then I sat down and all of a sudden, Clark

got up, he picked up his skate and threw it about 30 feet up against the chalk board and said ‘we don’t need anybody to tell us how to play. We already know how to play. We’ve won two Stanley Cups.’” Goring remarked that it was exactly what the team needed to hear, because Gillies’ words meant something. What did you think of this story?

Family Tree 101: Free On Zoom For 2022 BY DAGMAR FORS KARPPI

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

f you have ever thought about researching your family history, but haven’t as yet, here’s your chance to do so with a free online course: “Your Family Tree: Helpful Hints to Trace Your Family History.” The series is the idea of Glen Cove Public Library archivist and reference librarian Lydia Wen Rodgers. The Glen Cove library began its own Genealogy Club (limited to five members) on Jan. 24. Its success gave her the idea of joining with other local libraries to share the cost of a monthly Zoom series now through December. Each library is responsible for two episodes. The first meeting was held on Feb. 19. Residents can sign in at participating local libraries including Bayville, Glen Cove, Gold Coast, Locust Valley and Oyster Bay-East Norwich. Subsequent meetings are on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. Oyster Bay-East Norwich Library program Director Marion Dodson said they have six computers for patrons to use. “A lot of people use them for genealogy research, and when COVID-19 access through 2019, but now it is only restrictions happened, people were available at the library. No appointdisappointed. We offered them home ments are necessary.” Dodson added,

“I sent away for my DNA results. There were no surprises.” Locust Valley Program Director Michael Vinas said they were asked to join the group, sharing their financial resources. He said, “We thought it was a great outreach into the community.” Gold Coast Library Program Coordinator Clare Trollo said of the series, “It is a privilege and a fantastic idea for the libraries to coordinate on programs for the benefit of the libraries and the public.” Bayville Library Program Coordinator Kristy Fumante said on Feb. 7, “We have a very nice number of people registered for the program: 58 as of now.” She said she has not looked into her family history, but her grandfather did, using records from the Oyster Bay Historical Society. “We are actually descendants of the Wright family of

Oyster Bay: they are one of the founding families.” They are also connected to the Townsends. “A Townsend married into the family and that is how we got that connection. At her dowry, Rachael received a sum of Wampum, an axe head, a feather bed and a cow.” [On a personal note: what was so exciting about being a substitute art teacher in the Oyster Bay-East Norwich schools. There, students’ last names included: Simcoe, Wright, Haxhurst, Hammond, Townsend, all names from the Colonial history of the hamlet. It made history come alive on local streets.] The first speaker will be Grace Palmisano, training and digital resources specialist for the Nassau Library System. She has been researching her family tree for most of her life and has traced branches of her family back to the late 1600s (her six times great-grandparents). Palmisano is a descendant of persons living throughout Europe including Ireland, Hungary, Russia, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. Most of the libraries have similar genealogy research tools available for their patrons. Check your library’s website for Niche Academy that teaches how to use digital library resources. It offers Ancestry Library Edition, with coverage of the United States and the United Kingdom, including census, vital, church, court and immigration records, as well as record collections from Canada and other areas. It also has Fold3 by Ancestry, which gives access to U.S. Military records from the American Revolution onwards; as well as The New York Heritage digital collection. For more information you can call your local library: they have the names of all speakers for the series. This is the first in a 12-part history series, provided by former Oyster Bay Enterprise Pilot editor, Dagmar Fors Karppi.

Knitters Noted At Locust Valley Library BY DAGMAR FORS KARPPI AND KASTURIE MILLER ROTH editorial@antonmediagroup.com

nitting is the focus of the current exhibit at the Locust Valley Library (LVL). Organized by Locust Valley Garden Club member Kassie Miller Roth, it features work done by the Valley Quilters and Knitters, as well as others. Miller Roth saw the work of the VQAK group and asked group leader Marie Lamarche to invite them to show their work in the library’s display case. LVL program director Michael Vinas told her, “It’s especially nice that we are featuring things made by the library’s club.” They usually coordinate with the exhibits, displaying books tied to them for patrons to borrow. Additionally, staff member Lauren Wallach is teaching children to do cross stitch in a February and early March class. Wallach donated two handmade book marks to the display, saying, “I’m so happy to be part of the exhibit.” The project started with Miller Roth visiting the homes of Marie Lemarche, Joan Jachetta and Rosalba Panetta Gable to pick up the items. “Rosa had a lovely high tea ready for us when we arrived. A talented woman, she showed us the lovely quilts, bags, and t-shirts she makes,” Miller Roth said. “They are all multi-talented women.” Rosa donated her very first macrame project. She also made an elaborate woven Eye of God. The Ojo de Dios is made by weaving yarn, usually on a wooden cross. “It is to bring good luck,” Miller Roth said. A large crocheted shawl made by Panettta Gable is wrapped around a doll for display, a la Project Runway. Panetta Gable’s friend, Beth Sperry Sawyer, donated a child’s striped sweater and cap that turned out to be the star of the show. Joan Jachetta contributed two pairs of colorful knitted slippers for tots. Jachetta started knitting while visiting relatives in California and Oregon. There she knitted shawls and hats for homeless veterans and continues to do so today here in Locust Valley. You can also see her small dolls hanging from a shelf for better visibility. Marie Lamarche donated several crocheted hats; the pink crocheted tea cups; and a baby bottle tucked into a bootie. “They were made as presents to a new baby: the bottle was filled with money,” she said. There are several knitting methods shown on one shelf, including some of Marcy Meyer’s knitting needles. There is an antique knitting spool, used to make chains for belts, etc. The pink

She made lots of knitted raglan sleeve sweaters, hats, mittens, slippers and shawls. “Best of all, mother made wonderful layettes for the family’s newborns knitted in the feather and fan design. I wish I still had her instructions for the lovely items”, she added. Featured on the bottom row of the display is a little pink pig knitted by Marie Lemarche.

The LVQAK meet on Fridays from 1 to 3 p.m., in the Community Room. You are welcome to bring a project or come for inspiration. Lamarche will help get you started. Contact President Dean Yoder at dyinteriors@yahoo.com if you are interested in learning about gardening and the LVGC.

DeRiggi-Whitton Meets With LIU Nursing Students Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D – Glen Cove) met with LIU Nursing College students and their professor Dr. Holly Shaw, PhD, RN at the Glen Cove Senior Center on Wednesday, Feb. 15. The students visit the Center every Wednesday to interact with the senior citizen members. DeRiggi-Whitton spoke with the students about how health-related and other policies are developed and enforced at the county level and the various committees she serves on, including being a Ranking member of the Health and Social Services committee. Just a few examples of health-focused initiatives by Nassau County that the legislator brought up were raising the minimum age to buy cigarettes from 18 to 21, imposing stricter regulations regarding plastics in the environment, banning Styrofoam and fracking wastewater from being used by municipalities to melt snow, policies that protect and programs that benefit senior citizens and even regulations for using umbrellas in the sun to protect against skin cancer. DeRiggi-Whitton also discussed the concerning issue with hunger on Long Island and how proud she was that the county was able to give Long Island Cares $100,000 to help provide boxes of food to needy families.

Budraitis) Some waited on line for more than two hours for the donations. She also noted efforts to protect ground water, which is Long Island’s sole source of drinking water. Stricter monitoring of sewage treatment plant operations and fertilizer usage and content and over-watering that could lead to saltwater intrusion, making aquifers unusable for decades, even centuries, were a few items discussed. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for all professionals in the medical field not only because they provide the best treatment, but they also give from their hearts so selflessly to provide support for their patients that goes well above

and beyond just doing their jobs,” DeRiggi-Whitton said. “These and all other nurses and nursing students show a level of devotion that is rare and so appreciated. God bless all of our caregivers, during the COVID-19 crisis and otherwise.” The legislator also commended the students for being so much more aware and informed about the need to protect our environment than had been the case with previous generations.

The PFA (Parent Faculty Association), East Hills and Harbor Hill elementary schools hosted PARP (Pick a Reading Partner) Week from Feb. 7 to 11. For both schools, it was a fun-filled week of activities centered around the joy of reading. The theme at East Hills was Go for the Gold, with activities and dress up-days. Children were encouraged to read every night and log their minutes into a Google form. Students from each grade with the most minutes were awarded prizes. On Wednesday, the school hosted Guest Reader Day, with more than two dozen administrators from across the district visiting classrooms to read aloud Salt in His Shoes, a book about Michael Jordan’s path to success. Students in Alyssa D’Elia’s 5th grade class were happily surprised to see Superintendent Allison Brown walk through their door. On Thursday, children’s author Chris Grabenstein made a virtual visit to speak with students. “Our goal is to foster the love of reading during PARP and throughout

the entire year,” East Hills Elementary School Principal Sherry Ma said. “PARP is always an exciting week for the children. They love all the themed days and fun activities.” Harbor Hill’s theme was the Reading Olympics. Children logged their minutes into a reading log and the top “Olympic Medal Readers” were rewarded with prizes at the end of the week. Each day, the children wore themed clothing: red, white and blue for Spirit Monday, favorite team jersey on Wednesday, and the ultimate kid favorite—Pajama Day Friday. Harbor Hill plans to host their Guest Reader Day in coordination with National Read Across America Day— to be held on Wednesday, March 2. “It is always wonderful to see the children excited about reading,” Harbor Hill Elementary School Principal Michelle Hazen said. “Every year, PARP Week brings great excitement that can be felt throughout the entire school.” -Submitted by the Roslyn School District

Homes By Mara Realty Welcomes New Real Estate Agent Homes By Mara Realty of Syosset recently welcomed Kenny Schultz as one of its new Associate Real Estate brokers. New to the real estate sector, Schultz decided to venture into real estate and join Homes By Mara after enlisting Homes By Mara in 2020 to sell his Jericho home of 15 years. The firm also represented him as a buyer, leading to the purchase of the Greenlawn home he and his family reside in today. “I couldn’t help but be inspired by how dedicated, diligent and ethical Mara Navaretta and her team were in representing me and my family on both the selling and buying front while we were looking to move,” Schultz explains. “At that

time, I was in the process of considering a career change, so it was time to decide what it was that I wanted to redirect my new focus on. It was my experience working with Mara and her agency that made me realize real

estate was my new calling and Homes By Mara was the place for me.” Just before coming to Homes By Mara, Schultz managed a team of 200 people as a Station Operations Director at an Amazon Delivery Station in Staten Island. Prior to that, he worked as a Chief Operating Officer, where he built a staff of 200 cleaners and a dozen office employees from scratch at MyClean, Inc, while reporting to its New York, Chicago and Washington, DC offices. In addition, Schultz flew around the country resolving complicated multi-party environmental insurance claims when he was an AIG Complex Director for six years at its Manhattan and

Jersey City offices. Schultz says his colorful career has allowed him to hone the skills of negotiating financial and contractual terms in complex claims and litigation that complement his new position as a real estate broker who is committed to serving the needs of today’s home buyers and sellers. “I negotiate for a living and understand the importance of answering the bell for my clients– be it day or night,” Schultz stated. Navaretta says Schultz is a great asset to Homes By Mara and the clients they work with. “Kenny’s diverse leadership roles in business coupled with his expertise in negotiation make him a natural fit for our agency

and clients,” she explains. “Kenny’s negotiating skills and understanding of quality client service is what makes him a fine addition to our team and a great complement to the core values that our agency is built upon.” A native of Long Island who grew up in North Woodmere in the Five Towns, Schultz has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial and Labor Relations from Cornell University School and is a practicing attorney specializing in insurance coverage with a Juris Doctor (JD) from NYU School of Law. He is also a Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Senior Certified Professional. —Submitted by Homes by Mara

Syosset Author Releasing New Book BY NATALIA VENTURA

nventura@antonmediagroup.com

ennifer Wolf Kam is a fiction writer in Syosset and is releasing her new picture book, Until The Blueberries Grow, in May 2022. The book is inspired by her personal experiences with her grandparents as a child and young adult. “The book is a re-imagining of my experiences in my grandparent’s garden,” Kam said. “My grandmother had a green thumb, she could grow anything. It was important for them to grow things, to contribute to the earth, and be a part of it. My grandmother loved to grow things, so as a little girl I remembered she had all different kinds of flowers, fruits and vegetables. They had a giant cherry tree, and my grandmother would make cherry borscht.” As a young adult, her grandmother passed away and then her grandfather relocated. “I took those two experiences, my childhood and young adult experiences with him moving, and re-imagined it as if I were a child and what that would feel like,” Kam

she was inspired to become a writer after reading The Little Leftover Witch by Florence Laughlin. During that time, Kam wrote a letter to Laughlin about how much she adored the book and how she wanted to also become a writer. Laughlin responded back to Kam. “She wrote me the most delightful letter,” Kam recalled. “It really encouraged me because if Florence Laughlin thinks I could be a writer then maybe I can.” Kam’s writing process consists of Jennifer Wolf Kam writing for a period of time, then (Photos courtesy of Jennifer Wolf Kam) stepping away from it for a while.

Hicksville Water District Reminds Residents The Importance Of Providing Emergency Contact Information In the event of an emergency, district must know those who are medically-reliant on water Every year, the Hicksville Water District (HWD) Board of Commissioners works to update its emergency plan to increase efficiency and improve its ability to serve its most at-risk customers. One of the most crucial aspects of this process is updating the district’s records of residents who are medically-reliant on potable water. The district strongly encourages such residents to reach out to its office so they can be added to its records. “The Hicksville Water District emergency plan ensures that all of our residents are taken care of in the event of a crisis, but it is our responsibility to address the needs of our most at-risk customers first,” HWD Chairman Nicholas Brigandi

said. “All of our customers deserve the top-quality service they receive from our District every day, but the fact remains that certain residents could suffer serious health implications if there is an interruption to their water service. We request that all residents, but particularly those who rely on medical devices requiring water to function, reach out to us so we can acquire the information necessary to help them come out of an emergency safely.” Customers with certain medical conditions—for example, kidney dialysis patients—generally require an uninterrupted supply of potable water for the treatment of their medical condition. Consumers with documented medical

conditions who are on file with the district will be prioritized for notification and service restoration during an emergency situation. Any Hicksville Water District customer wishing to be on file due to a medical condition should send a letter or email indicating that they would like to be added to the district’s records. Letters should be addressed to the attention of the Superintendent at the Hicksville Water District, 101 Jerusalem Ave., Hicksville, NY 11801 or emailed to info@hicksvillewater.org. If customers have any additional questions, they are encouraged to call the district’s office at 516-931-0184. -Submitted by the Hicksville Water District

Creative Ideas For Outdoor Patio And Yard Design

If you want to gather people in a specific place, light a fire. Apart from keeping people warm, an outdoor fire pit is a great marvel to watch. This is the reason people sometimes say you don’t need a television if you have a fire. When designing a fire pit, you need to ensure that it’s positioned in place where you can really relax. Do this by getting comfortable benches with cushions and pillows. The idea is to ensure that people can sit around the fire pit no matter how cold it gets. Before you purchase and install your fire pit, be sure to check your area regulations to determine any legal issues you need to consider.

A well-designed patio or yard comes with many benefits.

Creating a great patio does not always need to be expensive. Start by looking around to see if there are any items lying around or in storage that you could use.

Add sophistication with fountains.

Ask anyone that has ever taken a shower in the outdoors overlooking a lake or other water body on a summer day, and they will tell you that nothing feels better. Depending on the amount of space you have, an outdoor shower can either be permanent or temporary. Bob Vila, the television host of various shows, including This Old House, has some stunning ideas for an outdoor shower. Examples range from fully exposed showers to tree shade showers.

Add Sophistication with Fountains

A fountain is a must-have in your patio or yard. Here are a few reasons for getting one: • It creates a relaxed ambiance. • The sound of falling water lessens unwanted noises. • If you meditate, a fountain can be an altar. • A water fountain attracts different forms of wildlife, including birds and butterflies.

Making Things Work For You

Massapequa Park resident honored during National Engineers Week BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

Professional Engineer (PE) Criteria

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

ith all the current focus on infrastructure, engineers have never been more highly prized. To that end, the men and women who are crucial to ensuring safe standards for society were recently in the spotlight from Feb. 20-26, a span of days recognized as National Engineers Week (EWeek). And while the average citizen may be unaware of its existence, NEW has been around for 61 years, ever since its founding in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) as a way of ensuring a diverse and well-educated future engineering workforce by increasing understanding of and interest in engineering and technology careers. This week’s purpose is also to celebrate how engineers make a difference in the world. As a subsidiary of a publicly traded diversified energy company, PSEG Long Island plays a major role in its customers’ lives by providing electricity to 1.1 million customers in Nassau and Suffolk counties, and the Rockaway Peninsula of Queens. With 10 percent (roughly 250 employees) of PSEG Long Island’s workforce serving in a variety of engineering disciplines, including electrical, mechanical, chemical and industrial engineering, as well as energy management, the utility’s ranks are represented by employees like John Koziatek, a Massapequa Park resident being celebrated during EWeek. A PSEG Long Island employee who was hired in the midst of the pandemic back in April 2020, working for a company whose logo is “We make things work for you” is a satisfying payoff for a kid who grew up in Bethpage trying to figure out how things operate. “Early on, I was drawn to building things and making them better,” Koziatek explained. “I often took things apart and for the most part, put them back together. As a kid, you obviously mess up sometimes, but I honestly wanted to understand how things worked and make them better. That’s what really drew me to engineering in general—the ability to improve things and solve problems.” The journey this Bethpage High School alum underwent on the way to his career involved graduating from New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury with a degree in computer and electrical engineering and considerable man

hours working towards the pinnacle of becoming a Professional Engineer (PE). This upper strata of engineering is held to the highest of standards as PEs must continuously demonstrate their competency and maintain and improve their skills by fulfilling continuing education requirements depending on the state in which they are licensed. The road to becoming a PE is equally arduous and includes working under another PE for a minimum of four years and passing a pair of intense exams, which is just what Koziatek did for five-and-a-half years while working for an MEP (mechanical, electrical and engineering) firm in the construction energy prior to landing with PSEG Long Island. “It was at this position where I had my first interaction with PSEG Long Island,” Koziatek recalled. “My primary responsibility at my last job was to develop site plans and accommodate services for clients, which led to my working with PSEG Long Island a lot. After acquiring the required experience necessary to sit for the PE exam, I studied in excess of 250 hours and passed the last exam in October 2018. By May 2019, I became a registered New York Professional Engineer.” The time Koziatek spent at his last job working alongside members of the PSEG Long Island stoked his interest in the company. “When I was studying for my PE exam, I found myself really spending more time on the things I didn’t do on a daily basis on my last job and a

lot of that had to do with the utility industry,” he said. “I became really more and more fascinated by it. At the time, I had a review course and my instructor told me that if I was really interested in this stuff, the best place to do utility work was at a utility. I put in a résumé. And who doesn’t want to play with high voltage?” As a member of PSEG Long Island’s Transmission Planning team, Koziatek works to ensure the electrical infrastructure meets the current and future energy needs. As a PE, this already substantial responsibility is one Koziatek takes seriously while deriving quite a bit of satisfaction at the same time. “My main function is to evaluate the transmission system from about six months out all the way to 10-plus years out,” he said. “Pretty much on a daily basis, I’m looking to run a whole bunch of analyses to verify if there are any voltage or thermal violations on the system. The best part of my job is that I’m preparing Long Island’s electrical system for the future, which is pretty cool. There are a lot of things going on with renewable

energy—wind, solar and battery—and I’m kind of right in the midst of it all.” Despite all the challenges engineering has provided, both during Koziatek’s journey and in his current role, he continues to marvel at the multi-disciplinary tools it has provided for him. “I obviously went to school for electrical engineering and the one thing that really comes out of it is that you are obviously given a skill set,” he said. “But what does that actually mean? Maybe you have other passions in life and you can apply your engineering background and skill set to those jobs. What’s important is that electricity is in every part of our lives as we see it today. A lot of people may shy away because they think engineering may be too difficult. It’s definitely challenging and I won’t say that it’s not. But it’s such a rewarding career because you’re solving problems and I think that’s a pretty incredible thing.” To comment on this story, email dgilderubio@antonnews.com

Moore defeated South Side’s Thomas Wagner, 2-1, in the semifinals and decisioned Wantagh’s Thomas Bonasera 8-5 to win the championship. “I have dedicated many hours balancing school and wrestling so that I can go to a good college and being a county champ at 132 pounds was the first step in my journey toward greatness,” Moore said. “I will take the same mentality up to states and we will see how far it gets me.” Adding to his stellar senior season, Moore took first place at the King of the Mat Tournament in Hewlett and first place at the county qualifying tournament at Plainedge. In his storied career at Division, Moore has more than 100 wins,

being on the same team at the same time in 2020. Never before had three brothers been in the lineup for the Blue Dragons. Kyle wrestled at 138 pounds, JD at 170 and Shane at 120. All three brothers started wrestling as youngsters for the VHW wrestling club in Syosset. Sophomore Shane Moore saw his season interrupted this year due to shoulder surgery. He placed fourth in the “unofficial” county tournament in 2021 as a freshman. JD Moore won his first county title in 2018 at 160 pounds and won again as a senior in 2020 at 170 pounds. In 2019, JD was the county runner-up at 170 pounds. He placed fourth in the state on two occasions and fifth the third time. JD was injured in the 2020 state tournament and underwent Tommy John surgery. On the mend, JD is planning to wrestle in the fall 2022 and is currently applying to colleges that have expressed interest him as a wrestler. Kyle was the captain of the Division team in 2022 and has been a mentor to many of his teammates.

Village Remains Safe For Pigeon Coops BY JOE SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonnews.com

t its January meeting, the Village of Roslyn Board of Trustees (BOT) heard emotional testimony from a local resident who hoped to pigeon coops on his residence at 10 Davis Ln. “This is the only thing left from my mother,” Lavehim Behreez told the board. “I won’t add anything to it.” BOT members said that they would take up the issue at the February meeting. That they did and Behreez can now continue to maintain his cage of eight pigeons. At the January meeting, Behreez said that all of his neighbors “are okay” with the coop. He added that neighbors bring their children to visit the property and admire the coup. “All the kids look at it,” he told the board, while adding that the remaining pigeons are not going to fly away. Behreez moved to Roslyn in 2017. The issue only came up when Behreez was constructing a waterfall in his backyard. During the course of the building process, a neighbor spied the pigeon coop and took photos of it. That incident, Behreez maintained, was the only exception. Neighbors, he added, have not filed any complaints. BOT members brought up potential noise problems and health issues. None of those issues has emerged and the BOT will allow the coop to stay. When his family moved to Roslyn with his family, that included his elderly mother, who has since passed away. Behreez maintained that the coup keeps alive the memory of his late mother both

for him and other family members. In other village news, the BOT approved a request by Taverna Restaurant at 1401 Northern Blvd. to install seven two-seat tables (14 seats total) on their front patio facing their main parking area and adjacent to the main entrance. The establishment intends to remove the equal number of seats (14) from their second-floor dining room during the time of utilization. The BOT also passed several resolutions, those approving a 2016 $3.5 million Public Improvement Serial Bond Principal and Interest Payment of $246,115.63 that was due March 1, 2021, a Village Tax Lien Sale for unpaid taxes for the year 2020-21 for Feb. 18, a payment of $5,321.35 to Florence Building Products for partial payment of new windows at Kirby Cottage, a payment totaling $25,965.50 from the Municipal Parking Fund to Amano McGann Inc. for payment to upgrade village parking meters to 4G and finally, a payment of $753.67 to Total Technology Solutions to replace 2014 Datto for Business Continuity/ Disaster Recovery/Cloud Backup solution. On Tuesday, March 15, the village will hold BOT elections. Incumbent board members Marshall Bernstein and Craig Westergaard face no opposition. Neither does Village Justice Saul Klein, who is up for another four-year term. To comment on this story, email at: jscotchie@ antonmediagroup.com

LETTER TO THE EDITOR IS THIS THE END OF SUBURBIA? Editor’s note: This letter is in response to our Feb. 16 article about Governor Kathy Hochul’s plan, embedded in her proposed budget, to allow homeowners to create what are called accessory dwelling units (ADUs) within their houses or on their proper-

ties. She has removed the proposal from her budget but there are several bills in the legislature that propose the same idea. Is This The End Of Suburbia? Not at all. This is the beginning of an opportunity to create a more balanced, equi-

table and mutually beneficial housing plan for our suburban communities. Long Island can enjoy a better quality of life, if its elected officials join in positive ways to design and then implement a fair housing plan for all.

Fair housing is a constitutional right. Political will is a requirement. —Ronald B. Brinn The writer is the former director of the New York State Human Rights Commission Long Island Region.

Old Metal Slides Ah, childhood. It’s a glorious time that most of us recall fondly, where bills never had to be paid and we never had to worry about things like making regular doctor’s appointments, paying off the car loan or worrying about whether we completed that last task at work. Instead, we rolled around in the grass without fear of ticks, we drank from the outdoor hose, we stayed out long past dark and we lived life to the absolute fullest. As Robert Brault wisely stated, “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” Recalling childhood seems to be a common occurrence on some of the Facebook pages to which I belong. On one site, known as “Growing Up Italian,” a young man posted pictures of his Nonna’s home, where one could easily find a pitcher and ewer on a stand “to wash your hands,” jars upon jars of homemade tomato sauce and palms from the previous year’s Palm Sunday. Believe me when I tell you that when you know, you just know. One of the websites posted a picture of a very tall metal slide, which was labeled “torture device.” As one who often frequented those awful slides, I could not agree more. Way back when, there was a playground at the park by the North Village Green in Levittown. The swings seemed to swing so high that I imagined

times, it felt like standing atop a very tall mountain. I often imagined them miles below as I waited behind several other children on the blazing metal steps. Once I reached the top, I often tried to avoid scorching my legs on the shiny, burning metal by lifting my legs a bit. This position offered the fastest route down, although sometimes I would lose my balance towards the bottom. Patty Servidio Other times, my legs literally stuck to the metal.

pared myself for a scream and some solid crying, but instead, she landed on the bottom in a fit of giggles. “Again! Again! I want to do it again!” She had flown down that slide in a blur of pink and yellow, her baggy shorts the perfect medium for a rapid ride. Several years later, that slide was replaced by a large plastic jungle-gym, which clearly got warm in the summer sun but did not burn like the slides of old. Several times, our daughter complained that the slides “weren’t as fast as the big metal ones”. She often got stuck in the center, especially if the tan plastic was dirty or scraped up. We often found ourselves at Woodland Elementary’s playground, most often to ride the “bumpy

slide” with black rollers that propelled children off like toys on a conveyor belt. It wasn’t the same as those old metal slides, but it was better than the plastic ones. Memories have a beautiful way of being sweeter than the actual experience. As Alain de Botton once stated, “Most of our childhood is stored not in photos, but in certain biscuits, lights of day, smells, textures of carpet.” De Botton forgot to mention that it is also stored in experiences on the playground, when the backs of our legs ached from the heat of metal slides but we continued to fly down them anyway. To this day, I can still “feel the burn.” —Patty Servidio is an Anton Media Group columnist.

Cooler Heads Must Prevail In Mask Debate There is no disputing that the COVID-19 pandemic has been emotionally exhausting. I empathize with the frustration that so many are experiencing. However, as we approach what I pray is the end of the Omicron surge, it is not the time to hastily abandon masks or any other proven tool for preventing the spread of this virus. Throughout the pandemic, I have been a strong supporter of the efficacy of mask-wearing in public settings as one leg of a multi-pronged approach for preventing the spread of COVID-19. Based

FROM THE DESK OF Kevan Abrahams

on current trends, I am optimistic that conditions will continue to improve so that universal masking in schools can end after winter break

and that no further public health directives will be necessary. It has always been my firm belief that public health policies must never be political– especially when it impacts the health and safety of our children. However, in recent weeks especially, it has been truly disheartening to witness the efforts by some to deliberately inject chaos into our society for the purposes of generating anger and confusion that they hope to selfishly exploit in the not-too-distant future. Already, this chaos has resulted in troubling impacts on

the well-being of our children. As a parent whose children are currently navigating education in the era of COVID-19, I have been horrified by reports from schools across Nassau County in which mask-wearing has become a flash point for confrontations, bullying and classroom disruptions. For months, we have all watched as school board meetings have become targets of violence and caustic rhetoric. It didn’t have to be that way. Unfortunately, far too many political figures in Nassau County and across our nation have put their own fu-

tures ahead of working in the interest of the common good of the communities we are so blessed to serve. Someday soon, the mandates will completely end. When that day comes, I urge those who opposed mask mandates to remember the mantra of “personal choice” they preach and respect the personal choice of those who continue to wear masks. —Kevan M.

Alan Hugh Hein

Joyce Margaret Hein

(December 23, 1927 – December 15, 2021)

(January 12, 1935 – January 31, 2022)

Alan Hugh Hein, age 93, died peacefully on December 15, 2021, in Jupiter, FL. Alan was born in Brooklyn, NY, on December 23, 1927. He was the oldest child of Alfred and Madeline Hein. He is survived by his son, Richard Hein (Margaret Shirley) of Wellesley, MA, his daughter Suzanne Sprague (Mark) of Prescott, AZ, and his daughter Valerie Connor (Frank) of Barrington, RI, as well as his nine grandchildren (William, Elizabeth and Lauren Hein; Katie, Matthew and Stephen Sprague; and Tim, Caroline and Daniel Connor) and two great grandsons (Hudson and Eli). He is also survived by his sister Marie Hein Bracken of Huntington, MA. Alan had a natural aptitude for engineering, and enjoyed telling his children about the time in his mid-teens when he managed to fix his father’s old Cadillac, with a few extra parts to spare. After graduating from Brooklyn Tech in 1945, Alan volunteered for the U.S. Army. He was on his way to Japan to be part of the first invasion wave when the atomic bombs were dropped, bringing the war in the Pacific to an end. His troop ship was diverted to Korea and he spent the remainder of his service in the occupation forces in South Korea. Alan graduated from MIT in 1951 and from Harvard Business School in 1954. In June 1953, in between his first and second year at HBS, Alan met the love of his life, Joyce Buskard, at a CYO dance in Jamaica Queens. They were married on October 22, 1955, and recently celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary. After graduating from HBS, Alan joined Esso (ExxonMobil) in 1954, initially designing offshore oil rigs in South and Central America, and later leading Esso’s transition to mainframe computers. Alan also helped develop software that ultimately was sold to MLB and used in the first electronic scoreboard (Shea Stadium). After a few years with the investment firm White Weld, in 1968 Alan moved on to Dean Witter (now Morgan Stanley) as a pioneer in the field of information technology, and stayed with the firm until his retirement in 1998. In 1963, Alan and Joyce moved to Plandome, NY, where they spent 55 happy years, and raised their three children. Alan was an active participant in the Plandome Volunteer Fire Department and the Plandome Field & Marine Club, and was an avid sailor. When Alan wasn’t sailing, he was busy making or fixing things. Alan could disassemble, repair, and rebuild almost any mechanical device, and was always happy to use his expertise to help family, friends, and neighbors. There was nothing better from his perspective, than a problem that required solving, especially when it involved diving into a dense owner’s manual. In retirement, Alan and Joyce spent more time in Florida, eventually buying a home in Jupiter, and later a condominium in Bristol, RI to be closer to family during the summer.

Joyce Margaret (Buskard) Hein, 87, of Jupiter, FL passed away peacefully on January 31, 2022, after being ill for several months. She is survived by her son, Richard Hein (Margaret Shirley) of Wellesley, MA, her daughter Suzanne Sprague (Mark) of Prescott, AZ, and her daughter Valerie Connor (Frank) of Barrington, RI, as well as her nine grandchildren (William, Elizabeth and Lauren Hein; Katie, Matthew and Stephen Sprague; and Tim, Caroline and Daniel Connor) and two great grandsons (Hudson and Eli). She is also survived by her brother, Robert Buskard of Manhasset, NY. Joyce was born on January 12, 1935, in Amityville, NY, to Wilhelmina “Billie” and Donald Buskard. Joyce spent most of her youth in Queens, NY, and she graduated from Richmond Hill High School in 1953. The following summer, she met Alan at a CYO dance and they married on October 22, 1955. Joyce worked for Anaconda Copper in Manhattan for several years in the mid-1950s. Joyce and Alan spent the early years of their marriage in Westfield, NJ. In 1963, they moved to 24 South Drive in Plandome, NY, where they spent the next 55 years raising their three children and making many lifelong friends. Joyce was a determined and independent woman who had boundless energy. She loved to entertain whether it was just a few friends or a party of dozens, and everything she served was always made from scratch. Joyce loved to be with her friends whether it be playing bridge, tennis and pickle ball, participating in water aerobics, going for walks, enjoying the beach, gardening, or having cocktails on her front porch. Inspired by her mother Billie, Joyce made beautiful curtains and draperies for her home and the homes of her children. She was also an avid reader and a shrewd investor. Joyce was always working on a craft project, either knitting, cross-stitch, sewing, beading or needlepoint. The Girl Scouts of America was very important to Joyce when she was young, and she gave back to that organization as a troop leader and as a member of regional leadership for many years. Joyce also cared deeply about the less fortunate in her communities and volunteered for decades at The North Shore Soup Kitchen in Glen Cove, NY, and the Trustbridge Hospice Thrift Shop in Juno Beach, FL. As her children grew, Joyce re-entered the workforce in Manhasset and spent many years working for a local dental clinic for the underprivileged and then at an ophthalmology practice. Joyce was a great conversationalist and there was no such thing as a short phone call with her. Those connections with her family and many dear friends were very important to her. Joyce left a lasting impression on everyone she met and will be dearly missed.

A joint memorial service will be held for Joyce and Alan in Manhasset, NY at St. Mary’s Church on June 9th at 11:45 am. In lieu of flowers, please honor Joyce and Alan’s memory by making a donation to Trustbridge Hospice of Palm Beach County (https://trustbridge.com/donate-now/). 230333 S

Port Washington Schools’ Emerging Athletic Director

ort Washington School District Athletic Director Nick Schratwieser was named Nassau County recipient of the Council of Administrators Emerging Athletic Administrator Award for the 2021-2022 School Year. The award is presented to someone who demonstrates contributions to community, local/state chapter, an ongoing commitment to athletics, a willingness to get involved, constant professional development and continuing education. This person has shown evidence of devotion and idealism to the above disciplines through innovative ideas to commitment to promote athletics and physical education in a positive manner. Upon receiving notice of the nomination, Schratwieser said, “I am overcome with pride as this award represents the opinions of my colleagues across Nassau County. While I appreciate the recognition of our work within my first year and a half in the district, the athletics department is made up of so many stakeholders that I share this award with. I could not be more pleased to be a part of the Port

Athletic Director, Nick Schratwieser. (Contributed photo)

Washington athletics community and look forward to many years of success ahead.” Schratwieser received his bachelor’s degree in Physical Education from Salisbury University in Maryland and completed his master’s degree in Childhood Education & Special Education from Adelphi University. He later went on to receive an Administrative Degree from Hunter

College in NYC. His roles have included physical education teacher, dean, assistant principal and director of athletics, and has coached in Salisbury, MD, the Jericho School District, the Locust Valley School District and in NYC. Schratwieser began working in Port Washington in August of 2020 as assistant director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics under the long-tenured Director Stephanie Joannon. When asked about his experience under Joannon, Schratwieser said, “Her leadership and mentorship last year was priceless; I cannot begin to describe the amount of knowledge I gained from working with Stephanie throughout last year.” Schratwieser’s colleagues describe him as quick to support his staff when it comes to adaptability, especially between livestream remote learning and in-person instruction. Weber Middle School’s Athletics Coordinator, Kevin Baudo, said that Schratwieser brings an enthusiasm to the district which is hard not to notice. “He is

visible throughout the community and has quickly established himself as an effective, articulate leader who both listens and adds to the conversation when it comes to improving both curriculum and athletics,” said Baudo. Schratwieser’s plans for the district are “to continue improvement of every aspect of our athletics program. We will always strive for excellence in everything we do, from the way we train and prepare for upcoming seasons, games and post-season play, to the way we present ourselves on and off the playing field.” Schratwieser said he “looks forward to continuing to build on the strong connections to the youth sports organizations in Port Washington, as they often build the foundation for many of our student-athletes. We also look to rely on the strong alumni network we have of former Vikings. We will celebrate all successes of every one of our student-athletes, no matter how big or small it is, or if it takes place on the field, court, track or off of it”. —Submitted by the Port Washington School District

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may be surprised by your own reactions to life. For instance, a feeling of not getting what you want when you didn’t even realize you wanted it in the first place. Responses can be your best teachers. They make you aware of your true and deep feelings. They herald your awakening and precede your evolution. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re well-equipped for the wide-ranging emotional weather of the week. Any negativity you meet will quickly pass. Keep moving toward the sunshine. Every state you encounter is only temporary. It will be worth risking a little discomfort, awkwardness and even sorrow for a chance at the heights of happiness.

Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 21 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

Stargazing Solution: 21 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The general tone of your personal life hangs in the balance of a few key decisions about who to work with and what to work on. The right situation can make you feel smart, vibrant and fun, while the wrong one is boring and uninspired. Take the time to find a good fit. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be tasked with making a grand plan. In changing the future, you are wise to consider the parts of it that are unlikely to change. Accurate projections consider entities, attitudes and facts of life that have existed for ages. When thinking big gets overwhelming, think small and have some fun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Last season’s way of doing things will no longer work. Cast off those methods, routines, even the clothes you wore in the trenches. Then notice the void this creates -- an emptiness to be enjoyed. It will attract its own fulfillment soon enough. There is deep healing in the fleeting calm of this moment. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your inner world is an exotic jungle setting where curiosity swings from vines over fountains spraying noisy ideas in all directions. Avoid the toothy beasts below by setting your sights on the highest point. Everything will organize itself to support your climb. Reach and you’ll be steadied; leap and you’ll land softly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A positive attitude motivates you. You’re not being saintly, just practical. Optimism is efficient. It takes just as much energy as any other approach, but somehow gives it right back to you with dividends. You and everyone else will feel better in the process. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The pursuit of knowledge is your passion this week. Part of the fun is that you never know what you’re going to learn. Often what captures your imagination is tangential to your original topic yet somehow resonates profoundly, as though you were always meant to know it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In social life and business, there are times when it’s best to avoid the crowded, competitive marketplace. But your offering is so strong now. You have something memorable and necessary to give. Go with confidence where you’ll be seen (and judged) by many. You have what it takes to stand out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your motto used to be “nothing to lose” but it no longer applies. Much is going right in your life, so technically, you do have plenty to lose. However, the next adventure won’t begin until you take a risk. So you hoist your sail, in hopes the inevitable winds of change will blow you in a beneficent direction.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Life loves a void. This year, you will clear spaces, invite the good and then watch what rushes in to fulfill the order. Blocks of time populate with fascinating people; a special event fills one expanse. Choosing what to let go of will not be difficult, as your practical intuition tells you what to do and when it’s time. Your relationships will deepen as you focus on the things that matter most. You’ll make a promise in the spring. Fall brings an investment that leads to future wealth. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Perfection is a trap that keeps people from finishing what they start. You’re too close to the action and so intent on getting it all right that your progress could be thwarted. An outsider’s perspective will be invaluable.

This weekend, a little daring brings a lot of happiness.

South dealer. North-South vulnerable.

This deal was played in the New Zealand-U.S. match in the 1974 world team championship. When New Zealand held the North-South cards, the bidding went as shown. Against six spades, the American West (Bobby Goldman) made the highly unusual lead of the deuce of diamonds. East (Mark Blumenthal) won with the ace and realized

that Goldman could not possibly have only four diamonds, considering his four-diamond bid. He therefore concluded that Goldman’s purpose in leading his lowest card from the K-Q-x-x-x was to direct a club return. So, Blumenthal led a club, Goldman ruffed, and the seemingly certain slam went down one. At the second table, with Bob Hamman and Bobby Wolff holding the North-South hands for the U.S., the bidding went: South West North East 1♠ Pass 2♣ 4♥ 5♣ 6♥ Dble The New Zealand East-West pair quickly arrived at six hearts, doubled by North. South led a diamond, and the New Zealand declarer made six hearts doubled with an overtrick for a score of 1,310 points. In the match between Italy and Indonesia, the Italians did even better. At the first table, sitting North-South, they made six spades doubled with an overtrick for 1,860 points, while at the second table, they made six hearts doubled with an overtrick for 1,310 points and a total gain of 3,170 points on the deal!

Hector Elizondo Is All About Trying To B Positive BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

A consummate character actor, Hector Elizondo has been plying his trade for nearly 60 years, appearing on stage and racking up roughly 157 credits in film and on television. Along the way, the 85-year-old experiences have ranged from being Garry Marshall’s goodluck charm, appearing in every one of the 18 films the late movie maker directed to being a mainstay in a number of television programs including Chicago Hope, Grey’s Anatomy and most recently Last Man Standing. The Manhattan native is currently appearing in B Positive, a Chuck Lorre CBS sitcom starring Annaleigh Ashford (Masters of Sex) and

Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley) and featuring an ensemble cast including Linda Lavin, Jane Seymour, Ben Vereen, Jim Beaver, Anna Maria Horsford and David Anthony Higgins. As the oldest actor on a show set in an assisted living facility, the forum is one that gives a platform for older characters, a fact that pleases Elizondo. And as far as B Positive goes, this particular gig resonates because of the rich material he and his fellow veteran thespians get to luxuriate in on a weekly basis. “I love the environment because seniors are very rarely highlighted in their life,” he explained. “The life of a senior isn’t as valued as much and this is of course a culture that genuflects at the altar of youth, but not at the altar of experiences and a life well-lived. These are the people who raised the

children, paid the taxes, fought the wars and have been the good citizens. Too many are forgotten at a time in their life when they are still very useful.” Enthralled by the current ride he’s on, Elizondo is pulling hard for a third B Positive season. “It would be nice if this show got picked up because it’s just getting its sea legs,” he said. “Especially the last few episodes where Drew [Thomas Middleditch] and I are very heavy in the show and that relationship gets very [substantial]. It’s just too good a bunch to work with and it’s too rich a story and environment. It has to be mined completely. I don’t need the work. I just need it on another more creative level.” Over the span of his lengthy career, Elizondo has been known for being

proud of his Puerto Rican heritage and maintaining high standards that found him blazing trails alongside his equally talented peer Rita Moreno, who he emulated by refusing to accept any roles that he might find demeaning or stereotypical. “My dad used to say don’t show off and to just do the work and insist on respect, which is something he insisted on in his quiet way,” he said. “He really hammered home the idea of not showing off because doing the right thing is enough. That’s how you bring honor to your people. You be an example.” The B Positive Season Two finale airs on CBS on Thursday, March 10.
