An Update On Glen Cove And Oyster Bay School Budgets

“We are all facing this ourselves as community members, as residents, as homeowners when our utility bills come in, our insurance bills come in,” Raynor said.

JENNIFER CORR

School district budgets matter. If you’re a student, it can affect the quality of the education you receive, and the programs you enjoy. And similarly for parents, a budget funds curriculum, resources, equipment and programs that can help make your child successful. And even if you aren’t a student, or a parent, budgets should still matter to you, because they can impact the amount of taxes you have to pay.

In late January, the Glen Cove Oyster Bay Record Pilot took a look at the beginning of the Oyster Bay East-Norwich School District and the Glen Cove City School District’s budget processes. To view the previous reporting, visit glencoveoysterbayrecordpilot.com. Similarly to all school districts, the Oyster Bay-East Norwich School District and the Glen Cove City School District face the challenge of staying within the tax cap amid inflation and increased costs in health care benefits.

Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District

Deputy Superintendent Maureen Raynor at the Feb. 28 Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District Board of Education meeting gave the second budget presentation, where she revealed the Consumer Price Index is 8 percent, which she said is the highest seen in the 10 years of the tax cap.

Last year, the CPI was 4.70 percent.

As of now, the allowable tax levy for the district will be between 2.3 and 2.45 percent.

“We are currently working on a few last variables, specifically the capital exclusions relating to debt service and the interest on debt service,” Raynor said.

In this presentation, Raynor introduced revenues and expenses, which must always be equal to balance a budget. The revenues include tax levy, state aid, reserve and fund balance and other sources. The expenses are primarily salaries and benefits and contractual services. Tax levy makes up 88.2 percent of the revenue.

As for foundation aid, the district expects to receive approximately $1.9 million, a $55,899 increase from the current year. The district will receive approximately $3.5 million in total aid.

The next budget meeting will have details about the expenditure side on March 28, and the budget will be adopted April 18.

Glen Cove City School District

At the Feb. 8 Glen Cove City School District Board of Education meeting, the total state aid that the district expected to receive for the 2023 through 2024 school year was approximately $27.8 million, which included approximately $22.4 million in state aid.

At the March 15 Board of Education meeting, Assistant Superintendent of Business Victoria Galante presented what will become the 2023 through 2024 budget, which consists of the administrative, capital and program components.

Galante went over the administrative budget, which includes Board of Education, district meeting, Office of the Superintendent, Office of Finance/Business, auditing expenses, among other expenses.

Expenses in the Office of Finance and Business was higher than normal because of a mandate that required the district to bring in a third party consultant to monitor new regulations in place, and advertising also went up because the district has to advertise bids in the newspaper amid an increase in capital projects.

There was also an increase in Office of Personnel because of staffing needs and contractual obligations, as well as unallocated insurance, because of cyber and flood insurance.

Galante said she spoke with the district’s insurance

agent, and because the district is undergoing litigation through FEMA to prevent what happened during Tropical Storm Ida from happening again, which may decrease the cost of unallocated insurance in the future.

The total administrative cost is approximately $8.3 million, a $286,558 increase from the current year.

As for the capital component, expenses went up by about $383,519. The total is approximately $9.5 million.

Operations of plant expenses went up. One of the reasons why is because the district is implementing a new software for the district-wide cameras that will make it easier for school principals to find the recorded video they’re looking for. The district will also be upgrading the older cameras. The refund-real property taxes budget line went down because the district is seeing less tax certs.

The last component, the biggest component in the budget, was programs. The total for the program component is approximately $90.2 million, an increase from the current year by about $5.4 million.

Special education saw an approximate $2.7 million because the district is seeing more students who need special education services. The computer assisted instruction budget line, which funds the IT department and the replacement of district-wide provided Chrome Books, went up by $134,150. Health insurance also went up by approximately $1.3 million, which is driven by the pandemic.

The total appropriation budget is approximately $108 million. The proposed tax levy is approximately $75.3 million, or 2.52 percent.

At the March 29 meeting, a review of the 2023 through 2024 budget will be given. There will also be a Q&A from the Board of Education. To watch the meeting livestream or to review the budget presentations, visit glencoveschools.org.

Glen Cove To Be Refunded By The County

in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) payments.

At the March 14 Glen Cove City Council meeting, a resolution authorizing the mayor to enter into a refund and reconciliation agreement between the County of Nassau and the City of Glen Cove and the Glen Cove City School District was passed.

As previously reported by the Glen Cove Oyster Bay Record Pilot, the City of Glen Cove Mayor Pam Panzenbeck announced at the Oct. 25 2022 City Council meeting that the city, in early 2023, will be receiving approximately $800,000 from Nassau County in reimbursement for overpaid Payment

“As you may or may not recall, the Office of the State Comptroller audited the City of Glen Cove’s Industrial Development Agency (IDA) more than a year ago and issued their report in July of 2021,” Mayor Panzenbeck said. “As part of that report, PILOT payments were not allocated correctly among affected taxing jurisdictions, namely the city, county and school district. As a result of the state’s audit using a sample period from January 2017 to September of 2019, Nassau County was overpaid to the detriment of the city and the school district. The city decided to extrapolate the sample to all active PILOT agreements, since the allocations were never adjusted since the inception of each agreement included in the audit.”

Panzenbeck further announced that the allocations were correctly recalculated by

year dating back to 2010, finding that the county was overpaid $800,000 that should have been paid to the city. Since that discovery last spring, the city has been in conversations with the county to be reimbursed for these payments. The $800,000 will be used in the budget; $565,000 of it being used to offset the General Fund Operating Expenses. That is how the City of Glen Cove was able to pass a budget without a tax increase.

The Glen Cove City School District should also receive $800,000.

“I just want to say that I’m really thrilled that we are getting the reimbursement of the money that was erroneously paid to the county back in the city coffers,” said Councilwoman Marsha Silverman during the March 14 City Council meeting. “It’s long overdue. It’s been about 10, 11 years and

I’m just thankful that it’s finally coming in.”

Councilwoman Silverman was one of two council members that voted against the budget last year, calling the reliance on this one-shot revenue “overly optimistic.” Councilwoman Danielle Fugazy-Scagliola had voted against the budget for similar reasons.

“When I voted on our budget back in October, this money was money that was due to the city for 10 years, and it’s a one time revenue and it should have gone to one-time expenses and really gone against city deficit over the last 10 years,” Councilwoman Silverman said. “I know that a lot of this is going towards this year’s operating budget. I’m still concerned about that. But I’m glad it’s finally going into the city.”

Councilwomen Fugazy-Scagliola and Silverman both thanked the mayor for her efforts in getting the city what it is owed.

Women First Responders Honored

The month of March has been designated Women’s History Month. It is a time to celebrate the amazing accomplishments of all strong, dedicated and determined women.

During the March 13 Glen Cove City Council meeting, Glen Cove Mayor Pamela Panzenbeck, along with the City Council Members, presented fabulous women First Responders with citations for their exemplary service.

“They are a source of inspiration for us all and we thank them immensely,” the mayor wrote on her official Facebook page.

Among the honorees was the Glen Cove Police Department’s latest inductee, Liudmila De La Rosa.

“I just want to say this is historic for the Glen Cove Police Department,” said Glen Cove Police Department Chief William Whitton. “This is the first time in our history that we’ve had six female officers among our ranks working at the same time.”

Chief Whitton said he was proud of all the female officers, and that he believes De

you. Beyond proud.”

LV Fire Department Updates Public Amid Chief Controversy

GLEN COVE/ OYSTER BAY RECORD PILOT STAFF

editors@antonmediagroup.com

Brian Nolan was a very active member of the community, with his involvement spanning his role as chief in the Locust Valley Fire Department, assistant principal at Munsey Park Elementary School in the Manhasset School District and president of the Locust Valley Central School District Board of Education. This all changed when a woman named Gabriella Atkinson alleged

via Facebook an affair with Nolan that ended with her becoming pregnant without his support. She also alleged that he threatened to post explicit photos of her online if she did not take down the post with the accusations. These allegations have led to Nolan losing his position as chief, being signed to administrative duty at the Manhasset School District and him resigning from his role as president of the Locust Valley Central School District Board of Education.

At the March 13 Locust Valley Fire Department meeting, the following statement was read to the public:

“At the Feb. 21 2023 meeting, the Board of Fire Commissioners heard certain concerns

raised by the Locust Valley Fire District residents in regards to facilitating open communication within the fire district and/or the fire department. Soon after that, this board caused the fire district and the department website to be updated for that purpose. Most significant, the board has adopted a district and department-wide whistle blower policy, which is upheld in New York State, as well as the federal level. Objectives of this policy are to encourage and enable officers, members and employees of the Locust Valley Fire District and Fire Department without fear of retaliation to raise concerns regarding suspected, unethical or illegal conduct or practices on a confidential or, if desired,

anonymous basis to the Locust Valley Fire District [so that] they can address or correct inappropriate conducts and actions.”

To submit concerns to the Locust Valley Fire District and Department, email bofc@ locustvalleyfd.com.

An update on the fire district and department’s investigation of the allegations against Nolan was provided.

“Be advised that such investigation was and continues to proceed. The board is somewhat limited in discussing the status of the investigation due to the prejudice it might cause that investigation. However, we will turn it over to the Fire District’s council for any comments.”

La Rosa will fit right in.

“Don’t forget, you are role models for all the women who are going to come after you too,” Chief Whitton said. “When I started

this job we didn’t have any, now we’re up to six and I’d like to see it keep growing. I’m a father of three daughters. I’m so proud of

FRIENDS OF THE BAY OPPOSES HOUSING COMPACT

Just as a proposed bridge or tunnel from Oyster Bay to Westchester would have drastically and forever changed the way of life in our communities, so too would Governor Hochul’s proposed “housing compact” that mandates what is effectively a “one-sizefits-all” unreasonable and heavy-handed high-density development in our area and across the entire state.

Eliminating environmental reviews and overriding the zoning authority of local governments is not the answer to providing more affordable housing.

The governor’s initial proposal called for municipalities within 15 miles of New York City, which includes Oyster Bay and most of Nassau County, to amend their “land use tools”to allow for at least 25 housing units per acre within a half mile of any railroad station. But the current budget proposal increases that to 50 units per acre. It also stipulates that each municipality that fails to meet target goals of a 3-percent housing increase within three years would face penalties that essentially would have a state board taking control of local zoning decisions and substituting their determination for the voice of the local representatives most directly associated with and most directly informed of a community, its infrastructure and desired quality of life.

Let’s look at how that would play out.

Even using the 25 units per acre formula, the Village of Mill Neck, with less than 400 homes now, would have to add 588 new housing units. Oyster Bay hamlet would have to add 2,129 units. Locust Valley 2,234 and Syosset 7,409.

Not only would this density reduce open space, it would strain our aquifer system to the point of increasing the likelihood

of saltwater intrusion (which is already happening in the Great Neck area) and could close existing water wells. The many residents in our area reliant on their own private wells would be left without a source of water altogether.

At the same time, all these units would create more septic waste. This could overwhelm the Oyster Bay Sewage Treatment

plant, and for areas outside the sewage district, require thousands of septic systems that could add more nitrogen to our bays and harbors, which could lead to algal blooms, fish kills and damage to the wetlands that filter stormwater. The development would also increase the amount of impervious surfaces, such as pavement for parking all those additional cars, that will create more stormwater runoff and further deteriorate our waterways.

Even worse, the proposal calls for eliminating environmental reviews so that these projects can be fast-tracked. If anything requires a careful environmental review, it is exactly this kind of development.

Finally, it is wrong for the State Legislature to enact this kind of sweeping change as part of the budget process and not through separate legislation.

For these reasons, Friends of the Bay, the Oyster Bay-based environmental organization, strongly opposes the proposed housing compact. We urge all residents surrounding Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbor and their watershed to contact their state legislators immediately to express opposition because this proposal may be voted on in the next few days.

Bill Bleyer, President, Friends of the Bay

Dozens of environmental advocates from Friends of the Bay joined with fellow environmental groups and local officials to demand that Albany lawmakers eliminate Governor Hochul’s plans to flood suburbia with high density housing.

Long Island Cannabis Conversations

Part II: Exploring the island’s Indigenous roots and futures

JANET BURNS

jburns@antonmediagroup.com

Our last installment of “Long Island Cannabis Conversations” left off in the island’s East end, where European colonists who grew hemp for sails and rigging left their mark behind with the name ‘Hamptons.’

For this installment, we return to Eastern Long Island and Southampton, where members of the Shinnecock nation will soon open the first medical and adult-use dispensary in New York State, Little Beach Harvest, on Shinnecock tribal land (where, incidentally, the tribe also previously spent years working to develop a casino, only to have other parties swoop into the region very recently to steal their playbook, reports Patch).

In late January, Anton Media Group spoke to Little Beach Harvest Managing Director Chenae Bullock about her background in cannabis, how construction is coming along, the history and modernity of jurisdictional law, and what she’d like to see in this industry going forward.

Background and work in cannabis

“In this American life, unfortunately, it’s not big to teach kids at a young age about cannabis being a medicinal plant. So it was when I was in college that I started learning about the hardships that people are going through, and have been going through.

In high school, you’re taught that it’s bad, that people smoke it, things like that. In college I started studying it a lot more, including the background and history of it in this country, really around the ‘War on Drugs.’ That sparked my interest to advocate for it.”

“As far as involvement [in cannabis and] stepping into the role I’m in now, that began at the end of 2019, when my tribe had an opportunity for a tribal citizen to become the new managing director for our tribe startup cannabis business, Little Beach Harvest.”

“A large part of my role right now is overseeing the construction side of the business, and everybody is getting ready to

see that beautiful rendering come to life. So it’s a really exciting time.”

“On the operations side, we are getting ready to do more of the educational, career-oriented work; we have a mock job fair for tribal members coming up in two weeks, and we’ve been doing a lot of training and education over the winter. Our tribe has passed the adult-use program for our tribe, so applications for tribal members, as well as Little Beach Harvest, for adult-use licenses have been issued.”

In local history, jurisdiction is king

“When we think about tribes on Long Island, and governance, it’s all about jurisdiction, throughout history.”

“The United Colonies of New England included Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Haven, and Plymouth colonies, established in 1643. Establishing colonial presence on Long Island with governance, under a governor, didn’t really happen

until around 1664.”

“When all of the indigenous massacres happened [in the 1600s], the governance structure was different on Long Island on the colonial side because there wasn’t a colony. There was settlements of homes, and they still adhered to the king of England at the time. A gentleman named James Farrett, the Earl of Sterling, was the one who was selling off parts of the land. There were indians who made agreements with those who established

incorrectly: “the last of the Shinnecock Indians.” (Library of Congress, public domain) those settlements, but they didn’t govern what the natives did on their land.”

“For example, Canarsie is the tribe that is located in and around Brooklyn, the Rockaways. The Canarsie is essentially the tribe that historically was forced, and I will say forced, to sell their land for 24 strands of wampum beads; that’s the story people hear. Once they made that transaction, that land was no longer in the jurisdiction of the Canarsie.”

“If they were living on that land, and were growing [hemp], they were forced to do so under the jurisdiction of the [new] establishment in governance over that land.”

“Shinnecock has never been removed from our land, and we’ve never sold our land, therefore we can do what we need to under the jurisdiction of the Shinnecock Nation.”

“So, fast forward to 2023: the Shinnecock [Nation] does not need to be governed by the state to what we can and cannot do on our land, because those same jurisdiction aspects are still in place. New York State was not in place at that time, the United States was not in place at that time, and there wasn’t a governor in place until 1664. It wasn’t until those land parcels started being sold off, or stolen, that you could then enforce laws on a people that are living on the land of whatever colony or establishment.”

“We don’t have a lot of public lands in this region, and having these historical conversations can help us shape policies today. When you look at any kind of case studies, they comb back to old laws, using language from old cases and individual cases, whether they were tribal people or not.”

Restoring culture and prosperity in the East End

“What I would like to see is inclusion.”

“You have two or three jurisdictions: the State of New York, the Shinnecock Nation, and the Unkechaug, or Poospatuck, if you will, which is a state tribe, not a federal tribe, who has also historically never left their land. Then you have the Montauk community, who were essentially burned out of their land. They literally had their houses burned down to the last person,

almost, and were physically burned off of their land.”

“With that being said, here you have a tribe that is working with all types of diverse people in the industry: women-owned businesses, MSOs, minority-owned businesses, at every angle, from the environmental side to the construction side. I would like to see the local area support that and advocate for the challenges that are happening, because it provides jobs.”

“I don’t want to see interruptions in our businesses. Let’s say we wanted to wholesale from farmers in Long Island. New York State still has to agree to that because those farmers have a license, and it’s risky for them to do business in a separate jurisdiction.”

“This kind of business shouldn’t be interfered with, because it’s a win for Long Island, a win for the state, and a win for the Tribe.”

“I’d like to see that type of inclusion, not only just for farmers but for brands and other operators throughout the state who have already been supporting what we’ve got going on.”

Representation and regeneration

“I’d also like to see more inclusion of Native people in ‘social equity groups.’ When I show up in the room, I’m the only Native in the room. So I’d like to see those different associations and boards diversify by including someone from the local community where they are.”

“We see this in the arts, and in environmental spaces, but we never see it in commercial spaces.”

“Shinnecock has one of the well-known climate adaptation plans, and we are looked at as thought leaders when it comes to the environment. Whenever a whale washes up anywhere on Long Island or near New York City, Shinnecock is called immediately, because we have historical rights and access to whales based on a 1640 agreement with John Cooper (yes, as in Cooper Beach, the beach our kelp farmers don’t currently have access to).”

“The marine biologists, the art spaces, they all work with us, but we’re not in the business and economic conversations, the chambers of commerce, the economic advisory boards. We’re not. And that’s what continues the wealth gap.”

“We will be opening our doors in the next few months and welcoming people to come and build a relationship with the Nation. Come and learn about what we’ve got going on, but also invest in a Native community, and help bridge the wealth gap but also sustain this planet.”

“You’re not paying the same tax that you’re paying in New York State jurisdiction; in our jurisdiction, you’re paying a four percent community fee, which goes straight back to the Shinnecock community. That way we can pave our roads, add streetlights, and help families fix up their homes because they can’t get mortgages. When customers come in and purchase, that four percent makes a big difference.”

COLORECTAL CANCER IS SERIOUS. AND SO ARE WE.

ERASE Racism Supports Governor Hochul’s Proposed New York Housing Compact

Governor Kathy Hochul has recently proposed a statewide strategy to address New York’s housing crisis –known as the New York Housing Compact. It’s of such significance that ERASE Racism is issuing this formal statement on it.

The Governor’s proposed New York Housing Compact represents a courageous first step in tackling the core challenge of housing on Long Island and across New York. It proposes solutions that will benefit all Long Islanders by increasing housing options. It begins to address the needs of our most vulnerable populations, and it starts to tackle the exclusionary zoning that is at the heart of Long Island’s standing as one of the 10 most racially segregated regions in the nation.

More specifically, the New York Housing Compact calls for 800,000 new homes across the state over the next decade. It includes local participation requirements and incentives to achieve housing growth in every community so that every part of the State is a partner in solving this urgent crisis. (About 16% of the housing would be on Long Island.) Far too often, affordable housing has been placed in already overburdened Black and Latino communities. It is time for localities everywhere

to provide the range of housing, including affordable housing, needed.

It is important to note that, under the plan, if localities are unable to meet the specified goal, they can design a housing provision plan for a lesser percentage and receive an exemption from the state for up to six years to meet the goal. Municipalities that have already taken steps to increase housing can also receive credit for their previous or current work.

The New York Housing Compact also requires municipalities with MTA rail stations to locally rezone for minimum average density. When combined with other state aid, the plan provides for support for infrastructure needs such as wastewater treatment, groundwater protection, and other environmental improvements and protections.

The plan thereby offers welcome relief to parents, essential workers, young professionals, business owners, and seniors on Long Island where “a large majority of

Long Islanders say that they want more housing options, including affordable and environmentally sustainable choices.”

ERASE Racism acknowledges the localities on Long Island that have already taken steps to build affordable housing and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). But we also recognize that many localities spend more time seeking to maintain the exclusionary zoning that is at the heart of Long Island’s racial segregation – to the detriment of ALL of their community members. It was announced earlier this month, for instance, that two long-running housing discrimination cases against the Town of Oyster Bay will move forward. As Newsday reports, “New York State’s Division of Human Rights sued the town in 2015 alleging that policies that give preference to town residents in two housing programs violate state anti-discrimination laws.”

A lawsuit against the Town of Islip is also moving forward. It alleges racial

discrimination through land-use restrictions that prevent a proposed 58-unit apartment complex, including affordable and senior housing, from allowing rentals.

The proposed New York Housing Compact, as is the case inevitably with statewide proposals, does not represent everything ERASE Racism would have wanted. We would like to have seen more overt affordability mandates built into the plan, more specific infrastructure funding, a commitment that provisions will be made to use the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule (once finalized) to decrease segregation across Long Island, and more enforcement of laws that are already in place. We also know that progress begins with a first step, and this plan is an important and vital one that deserves our full support.

The lack of affordable housing on Long Island is an issue for seniors seeking to downsize and remain in their communities, essential workers unable to live where they work, and young professionals seeking to live on their own and build a life on Long Island, and low-income wage earners to describe just a few. As a result, as more jobs become available on Long Island, too many remain unfilled due to the lack of affordable housing.

Fifty Years Of The Cinema Arts Centre In Huntington

JENNIFER CORR

The Cinema Arts Centre is a place at 423 Park Avenue in Huntington where you can watch classic movies on the big screen among fellow cinema fans. And it has been providing these cinematic experiences for 50 years.

“The Cinema Arts Centre, which was originally the New Community Cinema, had its first program on Dec. 1, 1973,” said Dylan Skolnick, the co-director of the Cinema Arts Centre. “How it came about was the founders Vic Skolnick and Charlotte Sky [with their son Dylan Skolnick] moved from New York City to Huntington and it was a very different time. You had to picture there was very little opportunities to see movies. There was no home video, there was no cable TV, no internet, no streaming. The only ways to see movies was there was some

movie theaters near that played the new Hollywood films and there were a handful of TV channels.”

Coming from New York City, where there was a rich film culture where you could see new and old movies alike at local theaters, Vic Skolnick and Sky decided to take their frustration of not having their cinematic needs met and create their own theaters, inspired by the ones they used to attend in the city.

“They rented a dance studio, the New Circle Dance Studio, and borrowed a projector, a 16MM projector, and a movie from the library, and drew up some flyers by hand and had them copied, put them around,” Skolnick said. “People had to bring their own chairs. And people liked it. They started coming. It was only once or twice a week.”

With increasing popularity, and a request to add more showings, Vic Skolnick and Sky had to find a permanent home for their movie showings. First, they moved to an old firehouse in Huntington, which is now the Classic Galleries Furniture Store, and they set up their first movie-showing space. Eventually, they

ended up showing movies seven days a week.

“That went on for several years at that location,” Skolnick said. “It was on the second floor there... Then there were issues that meant we had to relocate. And for assorted reasons, the Town of Huntington wanted to help us find a new home for the cinema, and this location here, 423 Park Avenue, is a former elementary school.”

The town had originally purchased that property, and before the Cinema Arts Centre took it over it had been a place

where teenagers enjoyed vandalizing.

“That was the late ‘70s and we’ve been here ever since. We’ve done a lot of work on the place; renovations, expansion,” Skolnick said. “Now we have state of the art projectors and theater seats, and the building is very active now. The town makes use of the rest of the building.”

The Cinema Arts Centre is Long Island’s leading arthouse cinema, as it shows a variety of films from King Kong (1933) and American Psycho to The Room, a cult classic that has been dubbed “the worst movie ever made.”

And the Cinema Arts Centre means so much more to customers than just going and seeing a movie. It’s a communal experience where people can hang out in the cafe that’s there. The Cinema Arts Centre also holds a lot of special events where discussion is encouraged.

“Our mission is to bring the best of new, old, American, international [films] to our audience and using those films to bring people together,” Skolnick said. For more information about the Cinema Art Centre, and to see movie times, visit cinemaartscentre.org.

Rounding up the latest news in the cinematic universe of Representative George Santos brings to mind the Terry Gilliam-directed 1985 film Brazil in a few different ways, not just because of the alleged credit-card thing (see below).

For one thing, there’s main character Sam Lowry, a lowly employee of the Ministry of Information, who spends half the film fantasizing about a better life in glorious display, only to end up under complete scrutiny by the powers that be (if somewhat more sympathetically than Santos has).

There’s also renegade

At some point in our relationships, we are bound to make a mistake. Being able to own the mistake and express remorse is important, as is validating our partner’s feelings. Researchers

Peter Kim, Donald Ferrin, Cecily Cooper, and Kurk Dirks (2004) note that while apologizing acknowledges guilt, it also expresses regret and the desire to avoid making the same mistake in the future. This in turn can improve trust between partners.

Not only is acknowledging what you did important, but so is the way in which you do it. It is important to avoid ifs, thats, and buts when saying sorry.

Take for example Clara and Joe. Clara recently snapped at Joe when she realized that he forgot to unload the dishwasher. While it is okay to express to Joe that she wanted him to help around the house in ways that he had promised, the manner in which

repairman Archibald “Harry” Tuttle’s famous line, “I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there’s trouble, a man alone.”

And then there’s all the stuff about disinformation, misinformation, hand-warped identities, the inestimable power of wealth, and the ever-evolving status quo.

Overall, both are a colorful,

In my case, at least, only one of the two is a trip I’d care to take again.

Some Recent Highlights:

• In mid March, The New York Times reported that Rep. Santos reportedly helped broker a deal, with commission, on a $19-million yacht this past winter for a donor.

• Over roughly a month in late winter, local activists hosted a “Drive Out Santos” car caravan and rally and a “Drag Out Santos” rally with drag performers outside the

c. I’m sorry if that upset you.

d. I’m sorry and I will be more conscious of my tone from now on.

Which is the best way for Clara to say she’s sorry? If you guessed D, you are correct! Let’s examine why.

Marisa T. Cohen, PhD

she communicated her frustration was hurtful. Not wanting to hold anything in, Joe explained to her that her tone was harsh and that it upset him. Clara realized right away what she had done and wanted to express regret for her delivery. Below are four statements that she could use when saying sorry to Joe.

a. I’m sorry, but you forgot to unload the dishwasher.

b. I’m sorry that you feel that way.

Statement A turns the apology around and makes it about Joe’s action (or lack thereof), rather than about the tone that Clara used.

Statements B and C are placing the blame on Joe for the way in which he perceived what Clara said. If Clara were to use either of these statements, she is not acknowledging that in fact she did make a mistake.

Statement D is the most helpful. If Clara were to apologize in this way, she is taking ownership of the way in which she communicated with Joe.

When expressing remorse, it is important to acknowledge your partner’s feelings, own what it is

that you are sorry for, and clearly state your apology. It is also important to make eye contact with your partner so that you can connect. Additionally, you must be open to engaging in conversation about what it was that transpired. Your partner may want to discuss the incident to be sure that you understand the impact of it on them. Leave time to have to have that conversation and avoid getting defensive. We are human and all make mistakes. It is what we do after these mistakes, and the way in which we express our remorse, that makes all the difference.

JANET

Forty Days To Go COLUMNS

Did you ever notice how many times the number “forty” shows up in the Bible? It rained forty days and forty nights at the time of Noah’s flood. The people of Israel wandered for forty years in the desert. Moses stays on the mountain for forty days. The prophet Elijah went forty days without food and water. And in the New Testament, Jesus too fasts for forty days.

One meaning of this number is “the right amount of time.” It took the right amount of time to have a flood, it was a whole generation that passed on the way to the promised land, the time needed for Moses to receive the commandments was just the right amount of time. So when Christians say that Lent – a time of spiritual purification and enlightenment – lasts for forty days, it really doesn’t bother most folks that Lent isn’t literally forty days. It’s just the right amount of time to grow spiritually in certain ways.

By the time you read this we’re well into the season of Lent and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to reflect on whether we’re “on schedule” or not. Some people will smile broadly at this point because they have kept to their resolutions to pray more, to fast from something, to give alms or do good works. Others perhaps missed the mark -- a day or two, or a week or two, into the season. Their temptation is to consider themselves as failures and to give up. “Why bother if I can’t stick to my intentions?”

The good news is that it isn’t over til it’s over. Each day we breathe in a new morning is a new chance to try again. Been slipping up on prayer? Do you think God frowns on this? Or rather won’t God’s longing for a renewed relationship yield to so much more joy the day we listen to God in prayer again. For some, chocolate or soda or pot or swearing may have re-entered daily

• According to Politico, Brazilian citizen and resident Gustavo Ribeiro Trelha recently told the FBI by express mail and email, “I am coming forward today to declare that the person in charge of the crime of credit card fraud when I was arrested was George Santos /Anthony Devolder.”

• As Gothamist reported in mid March, based on audio tapes, “In the summer of 2014, eight years before his election to the U.S. House of Representatives, George Santos was in Queens Housing Court, begging a judge to let him feed his pet fish.”

• On March 13, Rep. Santos put out the following at least partially ironic press release (printed here unedited):

WASHINGTON, DC: Today, Rep. George Santos NY-03 introduced the “Executive Mental Competency Protection Act of 2023.” The bill will require that the sitting President of the United States must undergo an annual cognitive evaluation, no later

life – even though we thought we could live without it for “the right amount of time”. Is that a reason not to try again? Or maybe in these remaining days it might be good to fast from something else instead – too much internet time, too much alcohol, too much gossiping. I believe some successful fasting is awaiting each of us.

And what of almsgiving? Perhaps the price of eggs might keep us from sharing some of our funds with others. Yet those in need must pay for eggs too. We can justify our holding on to what we’ve earned for any number of reasons. Yet the Lenten call to go beyond being rooted in material things can actually be freeing! If Amazon visits so frequently that we can’t even guess what we’ve ordered, maybe we have just fooled ourselves in believing that we need all the money we have. Supporting a trusted charity can start now, even if charity had eluded us in the past.

Take courage. We still have “forty days” to go.

than January 1.

“Regardless of political affiliation, this should be a common sense and bipartisan agreement that when a man or a woman becomes President, they submit to an annual cognitive evaluation,” said Rep. Santos. “Physical examination results are publicly released throughout their time in office, and a thorough cognitive assessment should also be included, and failure to comply will result in no federal funds being obligated or expended for official travel.”

Requirements include an assessment of the following:

• General intellect.

• Reading & Comprehension.

• Attention & Concentration.

• Processing speed.

• Learning & memory.

• Reasoning.

• Executive functions.

• Visuospatial skills.

• Motor speed & dexterity.

Stranger Sings Keeps Getting Stranger

chinko@antonmediagroup.com

Occasionally we are lucky to cross paths with cast and crew in Broadway and Off-Broadway productions who have significant ties to Long Island. In the case of Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical, an Off-Broadway show, which has just been extended through the end of April, we were fortunate to meet not only one of these people but two. Kaitlyn Meriam of Farmingdale and Alex Dash of Jericho are holding down the stage management of this lively creation by Jonathan Hogue that is packed with talent.

Dash, the production stage manager, is super excited to be a part of this incredible team in the Upside Down. He most recently was the assistant stage manager for the Emojiland (national tour).

Meriam, the assistant stage manager, is currently making her Off-Broadway debut in this musical. She is also currently stage managing her fifth production with Argyle Children’s Theatre in Babylon. Meriam earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in theatre production and design with a concentration in stage management from LIU Post in 2020.

Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical is the hit Off-Broadway musical that brings everyone’s

favorite streaming series to hilariously-twisted life on stage. With book, music and lyrics by Jonathan Hogue, Stranger Sings! is a wild and irreverent sendup of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things and all its campy ’80s glory.

Take a trip back to Hawkins, Indiana, 1983: when times were simpler, hair was bigger, and unsupervised children were getting snatched by inter-dimensional creatures. Join Mike, Eleven, Lucas, Dustin, and the whole Hawkins gang for a night of adventure, thrills, pubescent angst, heavy synth, poor parenting, convoluted love triangles, cheap effects, dancing monsters, and maybe, just maybe... justice for everyone’s favorite missing ginger, Barb Holland.

“Stranger things are indeed happening at Playhouse 46,” said Hogue. “After the overwhelming response from fans, we extended our initial 16-week engagement through the winter. But the fans just keep coming and coming back for more, so we are delighted to keep the portal open through April 30 to laugh and party along with our favorite Hawkins crew. Justice For Barb will carry on into the springtime.”

Stranger Sings! currently features Nickolaus Colon as Hopper and

Kyle Mangold as Steve/ Jonathan joining original cast members Jamir Brown as Lucas, Jeremiah Garcia as Dustin, Caroline Huerta as Joyce/Will, Jeffrey Laughrun as Mike, Harley Seger as Eleven / Nancy, SLee as Barb, and swings Jean Christian Barry, Dashiell Gregory and Hannah Clarke Levine. The creative team includes direction by Nick Flatto, choreography by Ashley Marinelli, musical supervision, arrangements & orchestrations by Michael Kaish, a scenic design by Drama Desk and Lucille Lortel Award nominee Walt Spangler, costume design by Matthew Solomon, lighting design by Drama Desk nominee Jamie Roderick, sound design by Germán Martínez & Cosette Pin, puppet design by Matt Anderson, and props by Brendan McCann. Dash is production stage manager, and Merriam and Lara Sato are assistant stage managers. Casting

is by Zachary Spiegel, CSA; general management by Visceral Entertainment, advertising & marketing by Leanne Schanzer Promotions, digital marketing by Super Awesome Friends, and the production counsel is Lee Adhemar G. Feldshon, Esq. of Feldshon Law, PLLC.

Stranger Sings! is produced by Sue Gilad, Larry Rogowsky, Nick Flatto and Jonathan Hogue. Co-producers include Catherine Schreiber, Bard Theatricals, Miranda Farag, Inbal and Ron Gonen, Xin Wen, Jason Turchin and Jim Kierstead. Joseph Longthorne is an associate producer.

Following its world premiere at Feinstein’s/54 Below in 2018, Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical launched a hit Off-Broadway run at The Players Theatre in Summer 2021, winning seven 2021 BroadwayWorld Off-Broadway Awards including ‘Best New Musical.’ In addition to the

LONG ISLAND WINS!

Off-Broadway production, Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical recently launched all-new productions in London, within a maze of disused railway arches underneath Waterloo Station; and Australia, bringing the The Upside Down to Down Under.

The Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording of Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical, is now available on Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, and all major platforms. Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical plays through April 30, 2023, at Playhouse 46 at St. Luke’s (308 W. 46th Street). Tickets are $49 to $99 for all performances. A limited amount of VIP Bean Bag chairs are available for $149. All prices included $1.50 facility fee. Weekly performance schedules vary.

Bike And Sewing Machine Collection May 13

It’s time to put those old bicycles and sewing machines to good use. On Saturday, May 13, (rain or shine) from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Long Island will hold their annual used bicycle and sewing machine collection in the parking lot of South Huntington Public Library (145 Pidgeon Hill Rd., Huntington Station). The items collected will then be reconditioned by the international non-profit Pedals for Progress (P4P) and sent to Belize.

The mission of P4P is to foster sustainable economic development by recycling bicycles and sewing machines from the U.S. and shipping them to motivated people in the developing world. For many in the US, Belize is seen as an ideal vacation destination but beyond the beaches lies tremendous poverty. Approximately 50 percent of Belize’s population is children and youth below the age of 19. A large percentage of this population is concentrated in the urban ghettos of the southside of Belize City, specifically in the Port Loyola area. Many of these children live in poverty and are exposed to violence, crime, and civil unrest.

This is the 19th bike/sewing machine collection organized by Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Long Island. To date, RPCVLI has collected 1707 bicycles and 282 sewing machines that have been distributed to Rwanda, Tanzania, Togo, Guatemala, Albania and Kosovo. amongst others.

see this project as a way of continuing our commitment to support programs in developing countries,” said Kathy WilliamsGing of Huntington Station, who was a Peace Corps volunteer in Peru and is co-coordinator of this year’s collection.

Anyone with an adult or child’s bicycle in repairable condition or a working portable sewing machine is urged to donate the item. Since it costs $40 to collect, process, ship, rebuild and distribute each bicycle, a donation toward shipping costs is necessary (suggested minimum $20 per item). All cash and material donations are fully deductible and a receipt will be provided on site. The program does not accept “bikes for parts,” disassembled bikes or tricycles.

Following high school, Agunzo has committed to play for Saint Leo University.

The Levittown basketball scene has been rocked by Division Avenue High School player Olivia Agunzo. Wrapping up her Senior year – and final season – Olivia has paved an impressive career as a high school basketball star.

Agunzo has had an interest in sports since childhood, but basketball quickly became special. “I’ve always played sports really. But my brother actually

got me into basketball, because he loved it so much. He really just showed me the way throughout my life. I played lots of sports for fun when I was younger, but nothing as seriously as basketball.”

Her high school experience with the sport has been fun and positive, with several notable highlights. During her freshman year, she earned all-county honors. Her team, the Blue Dragons, also won conference that year. Her senior year was marked by triumphs, as Agunzo scored her 1,000th career point in a game against North Shore back in December. She also achieved the honor of Conference Player of the Year as the season wrapped up.

Agunzo really enjoyed working with her team this year. “The team was great. We were young but had a blast all year. We’re all hard workers. The practices were great, we played hard in the game no matter what. Shots weren’t always landing but we played hard no matter what.” The team was unique in that part of the season

featured four Sophomores starting with Olivia, and another part of the season featured three Sophomores and one Junior. Most of the team was underclassmen, but this did not stop the fond – and competitive – bond that formed between them all. “It was definitely a little competitive, but it made everything better,” Agunzo said. “We made each other better. Our bond was amazing, and I had a blast all year, and I hope they can say the same. It was really fun to compete with them on the court.”

So, what is next for this phenom of the court? Agunzo has committed to play for

Saint Leo University in Florida, a Division 2 program. The senior is most looking forward to the challenge of college ball, and is ready to push herself in college to continue her legacy of achievement. “I’d definitely love to win the championships at Saint Leo, maybe become an all-American. Just continue to enjoy myself and have fun on the court.”

Agunzo has followed some pertinent advice which has helped keep her head up during a challenging season.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some truths have to be sni ed out, dug for, quested, but not the truth you discover this week. It’s right in front of you, and you don’t even have to be very aware to notice it. If you miss it the rst time, you’ll trip over it the next. It wants to be known by you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It occurs to you that you have it pretty good. Sure, you could think of 10 ways right o the top of your head to have it better. But with your poetic perspective, you’ll see how the banged-up parts of life, relationships and your material surroundings are quite worth cherishing for their beautiful imperfections.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t prefer to work under pressure, and yet you can’t help but notice how good you are at it this week. ings get done quickly, not despite the stress but because of it. Furthermore, you’re able to wrangle amazing deals because a quick buck is appealing to all.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). e work is fascinating and it goes quickly this week, especially the work you’re not exactly supposed to be doing. But you’ll get it all nished -- the side projects as well as that which you’re duty-bound to -- and make friends in the process. People admire your fairness and you’ll be called on to mediate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). e trick to getting the important things handled is super simple: Schedule them and stick to the schedule. You won’t want to do the thing when it comes up on the calendar. Do it anyway. ere are uncontrollable things happening to and because of us. ere are storms inside us that ripple out, and events miles away that resonate at our core. It’s a day to respect the wilderness and control what we can.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Balance requires wisdom. When you are in the heat of a di cult part of life, you counteract the stress by going easy on yourself in your downtime and prioritizing your own comfort and care. But when life is coasting along, you seek challenges in your downtime to keep things interesting. You’ll strike the most healthful equilibrium this week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Simplicity and frugality are not so di cult to pull o this week. ese qualities are what’s needed to gather enough resources to execute a big plan for the future. It also helps that you don’t really want to impress anyone and there’s nothing to gain from showing o .

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). For someone to act in accordance with the greater good, they have to notice and understand what that is. You will be adding friends to your fold this week. Be on the lookout for bright minds, big hearts and observant people with a social conscience. When you align with these types, you can achieve much good together without much e ort.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). e task at hand seems daunting, but dive in anyway. With your gracious communication style, people will be delighted to help you. A few excellent questions get the ball rolling. You don’t need to know everything; you just need to know enough to get to the next step. Bonus: Your prior experience is more related than you may have guessed.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Outreach will be your success key this week. Freshen up your connections with a check-in phone call, or throw a party to enliven your social swirl. Ask friends for introductions and talk to people you don’t know. e more people you tell about your dreams and schemes, the closer you’ll be to making them true.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

Date: 3/22/23

By Steve Becker

The Root of knowledge

contract — “slightly optimistic,” Root observes — seems hopeless, since South apparently must lose a heart trick and a trump trick. But declarer can prevail with careful play.

After taking the opening club lead with the ace, South leads the jack of spades from dummy. This is done, Root points out, in the hope of inducing a napping East to cover the jack with the queen or king from a holding of Q-4 or K-4, in which case declarer’s trump loser will disappear.

In the actual case, this bit of practical advice does not pan out after East’s queen is taken by the ace and the king does not appear. But South still has another string to his bow — an elimination play.

There was probably no betterknown bridge teacher than Bill Root. For nearly five decades, he taught the game in schools and private clubs in New York and Florida as well as on the high seas, consistently attracting upward of 100 eager participants to each session.

Prior to his death in 2002, several of Root’s lectures were recorded for home viewing and may still be available from bridge supply houses.

Today’s deal is from Root’s taped lecture on endplays. The six-spade

At trick three, he leads a diamond to dummy, then ruffs a club and cashes the A-J of diamonds. (Alternatively, he can also cash the K-A-J of diamonds and discard dummy’s club.) Now comes the key play: declarer cashes the A-K of hearts before exiting with a spade.

As South had hoped, the defender with the king of spades — West in this case — started with only two hearts and so is forced to return a diamond or a club. This allows declarer to discard his heart loser as he trumps in dummy, and the slam is home.

Tomorrow: Test your play.

HMTC Presents Middle, High School Upstanders With Upstander Awards

The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC) in Glen Cove annually honors middle and high school students on Long Island who confront intolerance, prejudice, or other forms of social injustice with the Friedlander Upstander Award. Winners receive a $5,000 scholarship. The 13th Annual Friedlander Upstander Awards will be presented at HMTC’s 2023 Upstander Awards Event on Monday, May 15, 2023, at Westbury Manor, 1100 Jericho Turnpike, Westbury.

Due to the rise of antisemitism, hate speech, hate crimes, and bullying on Long Island and nationally, those who make a difference in their schools and communities by acting as upstanders are more important than ever. HMTC defines an upstander as a person who stands up for others and does not allow bigotry, hatred, or intolerance to happen without intercession. Every year we honor middle and high school students from across Long Island who have demonstrated the actions of an upstander. The student’s action could be one of intervention or prevention, big or small.

Those who apply must be enrolled in a middle or high school on Long Island, need a brief nomination letter from a teacher,

guidance counselor, or another adult who is not a family member. They also must write a five-hundred-word essay on what actions they have taken that make them upstanders. Applications for the Friedlander Upstander Awards are due March 27, 2023.

For the past 13 years, the Friedlander

Upstander Awards have been generously provided by the Claire Friedlander Family Foundation in partnership with the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County. The Claire Friedlander Family Foundation was established by Claire Friedlander, a Holocaust Survivor

from Poland. The foundation supports local education, performing arts, healthcare, and environmental nonprofits.

For more information, contact Gayle Peck at gaylepeck@hmtcli.org.

It is astounding to think that a private collection of masterworks as wide-ranging and important as these could be assembled by a 32-year-old connoisseur, but Hong Gyu Shin is an internationally recognized figure in the global art world. He shares more than a hundred of his treasures with us by such greats as Whistler, Lautrec, Boucher, Daumier, Delacroix, Derain, Balthus, de Kooning and many other top-tier names from art history. Shin is a synthesizer. His credo: “Avant-garde visual culture, irrespective of traditions, is timeless.”

Oyster Bay Resident Participates In Global Marketing Program

Tribe Global, a global network of over 40 independent communications agencies, is proud to select marketing professionals from US agencies The EGC Group, Billups and Fiction Tribe to participate in Tribe Global’s Rising Stars program, designed to identify and develop the next generation of talent to drive the agency network’s growth.

The US based participants include Oyster Bay resident Chris Canadeo, EGC Group’s Director of Analytics (based in Melville, NY), Cameron Haggerty, Director of Revenue for Billups (based in Dallas, Texas), and Laken Wright, Design Director for Fiction Tribe (based in Portland, Oregon). Based in the Netherlands, Andrew Brunton is Managing Director EMEA for Billups which is headquartered in Portland, Oregon.

“It is an honor to be inducted into the Tribe Global Rising Stars Program,” said Canadeo. “I am excited to contribute my own ideas and perspectives and to work alongside other talented professionals to make a real impact on our industry.”

The Rising Stars program brings together a team of talented individuals from

across the Tribe Global network, who will collaborate with the Executive Board to spearhead strategic and tactical priorities across marketing, education and training. They will also focus on the organization of the TribeOpen 2023 Conference in New York, a flagship event of the agency network. This international dream team will work together to drive innovation and growth across the network, while helping to shape the future of the marketing industry.

The rest of the team includes: Maxim Bogaert, Marketing and Sales Manager for Comma (based in Belgium); Lizzie Howitt, Business Director for LIGHTBLUE (based in Dubai United Arab Emirates); Helena Sarkis, Media Executive for Fusion5 (based in Dubai United Arab Emirates); and Sam Guess, Partnerships Director for LIGHTBLUE (based in Dubai United Arab Emirates).

“We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Rising Stars program, which is designed to identify and develop the next generation of talent within our network,” said David Balfour, Co-Founder of LIGHTBLUE and Board Member of Tribe Global.

“We believe that by nurturing and empowering our rising stars, we can drive growth and innovation across our network and help to shape the future of the marketing industry.”

The program will run for an initial period of 24 months, during which time the Rising Stars team will work closely with the Executive Board to drive a range of strategic and tactical initiatives. These will include the development of new marketing and business development strategies, the creation

of new educational and training programs, and the implementation of new recruitment and retention initiatives.

“Tribe Global is committed to developing and nurturing the talent within our network, and the Rising Star program is a key part of that commitment,” added Balfour. “We look forward to working with our rising stars to drive innovation, growth, and success across our network in the years to come.”

State Must Revise Affordable Housing Proposal

As an elected official and a fellow Democrat, I urge New York State Governor Kathy Hochul and our state representatives not to adopt the housing proposal in its current form as part of the forthcoming state budget.

One of the most amazing things about New York State is the diverse options of places to live, including rural towns, suburban bedroom communities, bustling metropolitan areas and everything in between. As a result of this diversity, communities across our state are presented with different and unique challenges.

On Long Island, we face a unique issue of living on top of our drinking water, and the threat of saltwater intrusion caused by overdrawing from our single-source aquifer is something we must always be vigilant about preventing. We must also be especially cognizant of traffic problems. Anyone traveling, especially at rush hour, knows how congested our roadways have become – and sometimes, it has taken me 40 minutes to travel from Mineola to Glen Cove. And last but certainly not least, many of our schools face budget concerns and overcrowding and would struggle to take on more students.

Local governments are very well attuned to the specific needs and challenges facing the communities they serve. Unfortunately, the Governor’s current proposal would

Pursuant to a Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale duly entered on April 15, 2022, I, the undersigned Referee will sell at public auction on the front steps on the north side of the Nassau County Supreme Court, 100 Supreme Court Drive, Mineola, NY on April 18, 2023 at 3:00 p.m., premises known as 55 Pembroke Drive, Glen Cove, NY 11542.

If proper social distancing cannot be maintained or there are other

one-size-fits-all mandate is, in my opinion, truly irresponsible and counterproductive. Much like bail reform in previous years, the crucial issue of affordable housing is being linked to the Governor’s budget proposal, placing undue duress on state representatives to make an all-or-nothing vote for or against the entire budget. I once again implore our state officials to hear the voices of local community leaders, environmental experts, first responders and their partners in government to oppose the proposal in its current form.

Let’s instead go back to the drawing board, take away the threats of state mandates, and work more closely with local towns, counties, villages, and cities to identify community-driven opportunities to incentivize revitalization, smart growth, and new transit-oriented development that will carry us all toward a more prosperous future.

Barred Investment Broker Indicted For Alleged $520,000 Stock Fraud Scheme

Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly announced that a barred investment broker from Glen Cove was indicted on charges he stole $520,000 from six investors who believed they were investing in pre-initial public offering stock for several high-profile companies. Instead, the defendant allegedly spent those funds on personal luxury items and travel.

Peter Quartararo, 57, of Glen Cove, was arraigned today before Judge Meryl Berkowitz and charged with five counts of Grand Larceny in the Second Degree (a C felony); one count of Grand Larceny in the Third Degree (a D felony); and one count of Scheme to Defraud in the First Degree (an E felony). If convicted on the top count, the maximum sentence is five to 15 years in prison. Quartararo pleaded not guilty and was released on his own recognizance. He is due back in court on April 3, 2023.

The case was referred to NCDA by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

“This defendant allegedly tricked investors into believing they were getting in on the ground floor on high-profile companies that were going public. Instead, investors lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds that the defendant allegedly then used on luxury purchases, including a sports car,” said DA Donnelly. “Investing in the stock market always comes with risk, but investors should never have to worry that the financial professionals they are trusting with their money will steal from them.”

DA Donnelly said beginning in July 2018 and continuing through January of 2021, Peter Quartararo met with six victims and told them that he had access to “pre-IPO” or pre-initial public offering stock in the companies Peloton, WeWork, Airbnb and Petco for approximately $2.00 a share. Quartararo told them that when the companies later went public, he would sell the shares and give the profits to the victims, less capital gains taxes.

Each victim gave Quartararo between $14,000 and $202,000 in checks and cash with the understanding that the funds would be used to purchase the pre-IPO shares. Instead, the investigation revealed that the defendant never purchased any shares of stock in the pre-IPO companies represented on the victims’ behalf and instead, the victims’ checks and cash were deposited into accounts controlled by Leonard Quartararo, Peter Quartararo’s father; Paul Casella, Peter Quartararo’s business partner; and another uncharged individual.

These funds were then allegedly used by the defendant to purchase food, travel, and vehicles, including a 2020 Mercedes Benz SUV, and used as the down payment on Peter Quartararo’s Maserati automobile. Several large cash withdrawals were also made from a bank account of Leonard Quartararo.

The SEC has confirmed that no shares of IPO stock in Peloton, WeWork, Airbnb or Petco were ever purchased by the defendant.

Peter Quartararo was previously barred from operating as a stockbroker in March 2013 by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FinRA). Quartararo was arrested by NCDA Detective Investigators in April 2021 and re-arrested in August 2021 on additional charges.

Co-defendant Paul Casella, 56, of East Meadow, pleaded guilty to Criminal Facilitation in the Fourth Degree on December 14, 2022, and was sentenced to a Conditional Discharge.

Co-defendant Leonard Quartararo, 80, of Staten Island, pleaded guilty to Criminal Facilitation in the Fourth Degree on July 22, 2021, and was sentenced to a Conditional Discharge.

The case is being prosecuted by Senior Investigative Counsel Heidi Bausk of the Financial Crimes Bureau. The NCDA Civil Forfeiture Bureau has assisted in identifying any available assets. Quartararo is being represented by Gerard Donnelly, Esq.

The Nassau County District Attorney wishes to thank the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for bringing this case to our attention.

If you believe you were the victim of an investment fraud perpetrated by Peter Quartararo, Paul Casella, or Leonard Quartararo, contact the Nassau County DA’s Office Financial Crimes Bureau at 516-571-2149.

The charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless found guilty.

Niel Isbrandtsen Rising

Niel Isbrandtsen Rising passed away peacefully at her home in Brightwaters, NY on February 28, 2023. She was 97 and 2 month shy of her 98th birthday. To the end, she remained fully engaged in her life and the lives of her family and friends.

Niel was born in Brooklyn, NY on April 29, 1925. Her parents were Hans and Gertrude (Mirus) Isbrandtsen. Her father founded Isbrandtsen Steamship Company whose eet shipped goods worldwide. Niel spent her childhood along with her brothers Walter and Jakob (both deceased) between their homes in Brooklyn and Brightwaters NY. She was a proud and active alumna of Brooklyn Friends School and attended the University of Vermont. One of her claims to fame was riding her 3-speed English bicycle from Burlington, VT to Brooklyn, NY. She did this with a friend in 1944 and the trip took 3 days. The avor of this 350-mile bike ride is further embellished by the war-time status of the Country, the complete absence of travel amenities (food and lodging) and brutal heat (temperatures in the 90’s) The nal leg across the Brooklyn Bridge was accomplished on the back of a fruit truck because bikes were not permitted on the Bridge at that time.

Niel married Albert E. Rising, Jr., (deceased) on August 17, 1944, in Brightwaters. Their rst home together was in Philadelphia, PA where Al served in the Navy as a research metallurgist during the war. At the end of the war, Niel and Al moved back to New York to raise their growing family in Glen Head and Brightwaters. She is survived by her four children: Peter (wife Mary) of Brightwaters NY, Brandt (wife Sandy) of Bay Shore NY, Sally (Dean) (late husband Steve) of New London NH and Christine (Turner) (husband Preston) of Salisbury VT.

Niel has eight grandchildren: Erika Grace (JJ) of Safety Harbor FL, Melanie Sieger (Brian) of Brightwaters NY, Benjamin Rising (Deborah) of Woodbury CT, Carrie Hamm (James) of Islip NY, Carrie Deegan (Andrew) of New London NH, Micah Dean (Becky) of Gloucester MA, Sarah Nocito (Joseph) of Waterbury VT and Erin Bruhns (Matt) of British Columbia Canada. Niel also has 13 great grandchildren (Wesley, Emma, Aiden, William, Elizabeth, Francesca, Charles, Phoebe, Haley, Peter, Fisher, Anna, and Finna).

In the 50’s-70’s, Niel was very involved in Friends Academy in Locust Valley, NY where all four of her children attended from kindergarten to graduation. She served on the Board of Trustees and as the head of the PTA but is most remembered for her practical and “hands on” involvement with school functions and sports activities. One of her favorite functions was the “Fall Fair” where she would bring and play the family “Hurdy-Gurdy” for entertainment and operate numerous games for fun and competition. Among her favorite games were the “Greased Pole Climb” (with a money reward at the top) and the “Shatter the Platter”, a contest where you could break china plates by throwing a baseball. Her passion and enthusiasm were evident to all. She had as much fun as the children.

Niel comes from a family with a rich maritime history and throughout her life she remained an active boater. With her husband Al, they shared the experience of pleasure cruising and sailboat racing with their children. Through the years, Niel and Al donated a number of boats, artifacts and documents to the Long Island Maritime Museum (LIMM) in West Sayville NY. One of these items, The Brig, “Two Brothers” is on display for all to see in the “Small Craft Building”.

For those who would like to make a donation in memory of Niel Rising please consider one of the two following options. The Long Island Maritime Museum (LIMM), 88 West Ave. West Sayville, NY 11796. Gifts to LIMM should be directed to the Digital Archive. The LIMM Digital Archive includes video of the “Two Brothers” being sailed o of Brightwaters, NY in 1930 by Niel’s brothers, Walter and Jakob and husband Al. Alternatively a gift in Niel’s memory could be made to Brooklyn Friends School, 375 Pearl St., Brooklyn, NY 11201.

Landing Elementary School, Glen Cove High School DECA Join

Together For A Day Of Peace And Love

‘Peace, Love & Landing’ activity promotes inclusion and equality

Students at Landing Elementary School in the Glen Cove City School District recently learned about the importance of embracing diversity and spreading love during an activity called “Peace, Love & Landing.”

Students ambassadors from the Glen Cove High School DECA club led a presentation and facilitated conversations with the Landing elementary students about the beauty of diversity, how inclusion helps people learn from one another and how we, as a community, should strive for equality for all.

“Our DECA ambassadors encouraged and

inspired our Landing students through this thought-provoking and enriching activity,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Maria Rianna. “Activities like this show that we are all connected as a community in Glen Cove and that our differences only make us stronger.”

DECA members and the Landing students each depicted their idea of diversity and inclusion by designing and coloring a paper hand. The hands were collected and used to create a collaborative mural in the shape of a peace sign.

Glen Cove High Celebrates Londell Wheeler’s Collegiate Commitment

Student athlete to play Division 1 Soccer at Long Island University Post

Glen Cove High School Senior Londell Wheeler has made strides in his community as a standout soccer star. He finished his senior season with 31 points and was named Conference MVP, All-American and Nassau County Player of the Year. Now, the 17-year-old student athlete is committed to play Division I soccer at Long Island University Post.

The Glen Cove City School District recently gathered to celebrate Londell’s accomplishments as he signed his letter of intent. He was joined in the GCHS gymnasium by his family, teammates, friends and coaches Brian Smith, Erick Pajuelo, and Christian Dottin. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Maria Rianna, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Unal Karakas, Athletic Director Kim Riso and Principal Allen Hudson III also attended to honor the soccer star.

“Londell always represents Glen Cove with pride and passion, on and off the soccer field,” said Dr. Rianna. “We are so excited for what lies ahead in his academic and athletic career. Londell will always have a home in Glen Cove and we wish him the best of luck at LIU Post.”

Coach Brian Smith addressed the crowd at the ceremony and commended Londell for his character, dedication and achievement. He also showed gratitude to Londell’s family for supporting him throughout his journey to become a collegiate athlete.

Athletic Director Kim Riso also lauded Londell’s achievements at the ceremony, which included a cake to congratulate Londell on his commitment.

“Londell exemplifies a true student athlete here at Glen Cove High School,” said Kim Riso. “Playing at the next level is an experience that he will never forget. I wish him the best of luck and enjoy the next four years! We will miss you tremen-

Londell helped lead his team to victory this year when the Glen Cove Knights took home the Nassau County Class A Boys Soccer championship in November. The Knights bested the Garden City Trojans with a final score of 2-0. Goals from Londell and Sophomore Enry Hernandez led the team to its first county win since 2016.

Londell is a three-time All-County, AllState and All-Region athlete. He began his high school soccer career when he was in eighth grade and his coaches selected him to play for the high school’s Junior Varsity team. In addition to soccer, Wheeler also plays basketball and volunteers at Community Strong 516, his uncle’s non-profit in Glen Cove.
