Clean Your Closets For Earthquake Victims

JOSEPH SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

Last week, The Roslyn News featured an article on Nadia Sayed, the Roslyn resident who is raising funds to assist a Ukranian violin maker exiled from his home country after his hometown, Mariupol, was captured by Russian forces in that ongoing war between those two nations.

Now another Roslyn area youngster has begun her own charity campaign to assist those in Turkey and Syria still reeling from the devastating earthquake that hit both countries.

Eliza Liebowitz, a ninth grade student at Roslyn High School, has organized an emergency medical supply drive to help aid those same earthquake victims. Eliza is the founder of Clean Your Closets Out For Children, also known as Triple C New York. The mission of this organization is to collect items no longer in use and give them to those less fortunate due to poverty, illness, natural disasters or war. In this way, Eliza says, items are given a second life and put to good use while being diverted from landfills.

Liebowitz partnered with the Village of East Hills, where she lives, and Temple Sinai of Roslyn, where she is a member, to seek out items both new and gently used. She expanded her usual task of just children’s supplies to cover additional items for all ages. Eliza felt that this endeavor was a natural extension of her organization’s original mission. She worked with Mayor Michael Koblenz of East Hills and Lulu Belferder, the director of Youth and Teen Engagement at Temple Sinai, who she said helped her get the word out to the community.

Liebowitz stated that she was overwhelmed by the response from her community and noted that the donations were incredibly generous.

“The Roslyn community always steps up for important causes when asked to do so,” she said.

One of the items she was most excited about receiving were the thousands of assorted character-themed Band Aids for the youngest survivors of the earthquake. She said she is hoping that they will put a smile on a child’s face even if just for a moment during an otherwise very sad time.

At the East Hills meeting, Liebowitz announced the ongoing collection drive.

She noted that the earthquakes have captured the world’s attention. The earthquake hit both Turkey and Syria on Feb. 6. The epicenter, according to published reports, was 37 km (23 miles) west–northwest of Gaziantep. It had a maximum Mercalli intensity of XII (Extreme) in parts of Antakya in Hatay Province. It was followed by a Mw7.7 earthquake at 13:24. This earthquake was centered 95 km (59 mi) north-northeast from the first. There was widespread damage and tens of thousands of fatalities. Experts said it was the largest earthquake in Turkey since the 1939 Erzincan earthquake and the second-strongest recorded in the history of the country, after the 1668 North Anatolia earthquake. Experts added that it was one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded in the Levant. It was felt as far as Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Cyprus, and the Black Sea coast of Turkey. There were more than 10,000 aftershocks in the three weeks that followed.

According to the media, an estimated 14 million people, or 16 percent of Turkey’s population, were affected. United Nations experts estimated that about 1.5 million people were left homeless.

As of the middle of March, the media reported that more than 55,700 deaths were confirmed. That included more than 48,400 in Turkey, and more than 7,200 in Syria. In all, it was the deadliest worldwide since the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the fifth-deadliest of the 21st century. Economists set the

damages at over $100 billion in Turkey and $5.1 billion in Syria.

All items collected during the drive will be delivered to the AFYA Foundation warehouse in Yonkers where the items will be sorted and then shipped directly to Turkey and Syria.

According to village officials, AFYA is requesting wound care, rehabilitation and orthopedic supplies to support the tens of thousands estimated to have sustained life-threatening injuries from the earthquakes. Items requested for patients of all ages include: Canes, Commodes, Crutches, Knee Scooters, Raised Toilet Seat Rollators and Toilet Seat Risers, Shower & Bath Chairs, Wheelchairs, Walkers, Abdominal Pads, Antibiotic Cream, Antiseptic Solutions & Wipes, Band Aids (Any Size), CAT Tourniquet, Cold Packs, Elastic Bandage, First Aid Kits, Gauze: sterile rolls/pads (Any Size), Occlusive Gauze, Medical Tape (Any Size), Non-Adherent Pads, Petrolatum Gauze, Plaster Bandages, Silver Wound gel, Steri-Strip, Sterile Suture (Any Size or Material), Suture Removal Kit, Tegaderm (Any size), Undercast Padding, Xeroform, Orthopedic Boot, Abdominal Binder Brace, Arm & Shoulder Brace, Knee Brace, Cervical Collar, Casting Material: Specialist, Plaster Bandage with Extra Fast Setting, Foam Positioning, and Slings.

Wound care items should be new in their original unopened packaging and not expired. Rehabilitation and orthopedic supplies must be new or in very good condition,

cleaned/disinfected and without damage.

Eliza Liebowitz has requested that donors remember the children who have been affected by this tragedy by including a box or two of band aids with cute designs and characters on them.

AFYA Foundation is a not-for-profit organization based in Yonkers. It was founded in 2007 by Danielle Butin, MPH, OTR after a trip to Tanzania, where she encountered the dire circumstances and severely limited medical resources of their medical clinics. AFYA which means “good health” in Swahili seeks to spread “Good Health Through Giving,” and does so by providing medical supplies, consumables, sustainable equipment, and community outreach supplies to international health clinics.

The foundation customizes shipments to ensure that items are delivered to areas needing them most. This is crucial in medical emergencies when healthcare workers do not have time to sort through items. It works with those already on the ground in impacted regions to identify needs and take immediate action.

Should you have additional questions, Eliza can be reached at 516-458-0390 or via her instagram page: @cleanyourclosetsoutforchildren. For weekend or after hour drop offs, please contact Eliza Liebowitz to make arrangements.

You can follow Eliza on Instagram via: @ cleanyourclosetsoutforchildren.

Tracking Down Cyberspace Law

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

When it comes to academic achievement, few places in America can rival Roslyn. For years on end, Roslyn High School has consistently been rated as one of the top high schools in the nation.

The latest Roslyn High School alumna to make a mark is Star Kashman, a Brooklyn College Law School student who has recently made a “significant discovery” in cybersecurity law. Kashman got a scholarly paper published in the Washington Journal of Law Technology & Arts, which presents a “novel and new concept” to the legal field.

“My passion for technology and desire to use my education to help others led me to research Cybersecurity Law, where I discovered the lack of knowledge surrounding a widely-used technique called Search Engine Hacking (A/k/a “Google Dorking”),” Cashman told The Roslyn News. “After extensive research, my publication in the journal became the first of its kind to address where Search Engine Hacking fits within the law. I am

now working with a group of students at Brooklyn Law School to advocate for policy change regarding this vital topic, making our group the first to advocate for legal reform and knowledge relating to this issue.”

What is search hacking?

“Search engine hacking is a technique of using advanced search queries and operators on search engines to gain access to sensitive information,” Cashman added. “It can be used for both good and bad purposes. Despite its prevalence among the cyber-community, the legal field has lacked awareness of this issue.

My research on this topic revealed that search engine hacking can be used to commit various cybercrimes, including identity theft stalking and homicide. Existing laws and regulations related to cybersecurity do not adequately cover search engine hacking, leaving victims without proper legal recourse.”

A native of Great Neck, Cashman moved with her family to Roslyn when she was still in grade school. She attended Harbor Hill and Roslyn Middle School. In high school, Cashman was involved in multiple AP and honors classes and served as the president of the Royal Crown Players, the school’s theater group. Cashman’s influences on her budding career include various professors at Brooklyn College.

“Ethical hacker Johnny Long inspired me with his dedication to using his expertise for the greater good, and his discoveries and research in Search Engine Hacking,” she added “In Roslyn, Brad Frey, a teacher and member of the school’s theater and chorus programs, provided me with encouragement and the belief that I had something special to offer.”

And that something special looks to continue in the years to come.

Fifth graders at Harbor Hill participated in a STEM challenge called Lincoln’s Log Cabins. The goal was to recreate a log cabin using only popsicle sticks, index cards, paper, glue, and tape as building materials. “I was incredibly proud of how well the students worked together,” said teacher Karey Hintermeister. “Everyone’s voice was heard in the planning and creation of these log cabins.”

St. Francis Contributes To Food Bank

Roslyn-based St. Francis Hospital is working with Long Island Cares to identify and help feed food-insecure residents in communities across the island. The program was launched as a pilot last summer. In a matter of months, 900 meals in bags-to-go were distributed at St. Francis and the five other Catholic Health hospitals.

Patients who came into the emergency rooms at the hospital were screened for hunger vital signs and if they were identified as food-needy, they were given bags that contained food for one or two people for three days. They were also referred to us if they had ongoing food-insecurity issues.

The program has now taken a giant leap forward. Bags of food supplied by Long Island Cares are being distributed at Catholic Health ambulatory care, walk-in clinics, home-care operations and cancer institute locations. A recent $5,000 donation by the Harris Beach law firm in Uniondale will pay for an additional 2,700 meals.

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.

Laura Harding, President, ERASE Racism

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.

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.

HOROSCOPES

By Holiday Mathis

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have pleted the puzzle, there will be 17 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You want what another person has, but you wouldn’t give up being you to get it. You’ll give up envy and gain energy, plus the knowledge that your goals can and will be accomplished in your own way, and in your own time. You will love them all the more and know they are enough for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). ere are those who see each insect as a pest and others who see each insect as magni cent and weird. You’re able to swing from one mind to the other on this and any issue. You can appreciate things for what they are, but your perception and reaction shifts radically once a thing invades your territory.

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.

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.

Bulldogs Compete In Statewide Competition

JOSEPH SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

In January, the Roslyn High School varsity boys winter track team earned the title of Nassau County Conference Champions.

In that competition, Zach Davidson was the pole vault champion, while Julian Pinilla was high jump champ. Bryan Molina was eight throw champion. Ben Veneziano scored second place in the high jump. Liam Reilly had the same showing in the weight throw competition.

Several of those fine athletes advanced to state-wide competition.

In early March, Davidson placed 14th in pole vault competition after being ranked 22nd. Ben Veneziano finished 22nd in ht high jump, reaching a peak with a 5’8” jump. Davidson upped his game to a 12 feet, 6 inches high leap in this most demanding of all track competition.

“It was an amazing accomplishment for both of them to get to compete at that level,” head coach Kristin Hamilton told The Roslyn News. “Zach Davidson came into the meet seeded 21st and he had a great day. He improved his season best performance to 12 feet 6 inches, which betters his own school record as well. At the end of the day, he finished 14th. It’s very difficult to have your best day on such a big stage and Zach proved that he was willing to go for it and has both the mental toughness and physical ability to be a great vaulter. His attempts at 13 were really solid, so I think he has a good chance of clearing that height pretty early on in the spring season, which would be fantastic. Ben Veneziano had a slightly tougher day at high jump. He finished 22nd overall with a best jump of 5’8”. His attempts at 5’10 were good, especially his second one, where he had more than enough height but just clipped it with his feet as he was going over.

I think he was disappointed in the height he cleared, but fortunately he also qualified to compete in the emerging elite section of Nike Indoor Nationals this Friday at the

Armory. He’ll get another chance to clear a height he’s proud of and compete with not just the state’s best but the country’s as well. Regardless, I’m incredibly proud of the season that he has had. He’s an amazing athlete. While he’s always

been on the spring outdoor team, this is Ben’s first season of winter track, which can be an adjustment for athletes, so it is incredibly impressive for him to make it this far.”

For the women’s team, Riley

Green also competed in a statewide tournament. She, too, turned in a stellar performance.

“Riley Green is a freshman, this was her first year on the varsity gymnastics team,” gymnastic coach Stephanie Orfini said. “Riley

was seeded 8th in the county on uneven bars at the end of the regular season. She placed 4th on uneven bars at the state qualifier meet on 2/14. She competed only on uneven bars at the state meet in Buffalo and placed 13th.”

Add Some Love To Your Home By Adopting A Dog From The Town’s Animal Shelter

North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena and the Town Board would like to remind residents about several dogs up for adoption at the Town’s Animal Shelter. This month’s featured pups include Maisy, Mason, and Legend.

North Hempstead TV (NHTV), channel 18/65 on Cablevision or channel 46 on Verizon FIOS, will be highlighting the dogs throughout the month. You can also watch videos of the featured pups on the town’s social media pages.

The North Hempstead Animal Shelter is located at 75 Marino Avenue in Port Washington and is open Monday through Fridays (except holidays) 9 a.m. through 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. To make an appointment to visit or for more information on a featured dog, please call 311 or 516-869-6311.

—Submitted by the Town of North Hempstead

Maisy is a 1 year old Shepherd mix ready to start the new year as your new best friend. Maisy is famous for her “zoomies” but will settle down once she gets them out. Maisy would make an excellent walking or jogging buddy; she loves to explore the outdoors. She is a smart girl and seeks out your affection. Maisy would thrive in an active household with dog experience and older children.

Mason must have gone to Harvard before ending up in the shelter because we can’t believe how smart this boy is! He knows tons of commands and is very eager to learn more. Mason walks well on a leash, crushes our agility course, and loves romping on our nature trail. He is an active guy but has excellent manners - he would make a great walking, jogging, or hiking buddy! Mason gets along with other dogs but can be dominant. A meeting with any other dog in the home is required at the shelter before adoption.

Legend is a 1 year old 100% mutt - we tested his DNA and believe it or not, the highest breed at 34% is standard poodle! Legend came to us through The Shelter Connections Rescue program from an overcrowded shelter in Georgia. He is an affectionate, energetic boy that lives to chase a ball. You need to have a good throwing arm to make Legend your new best friend! He gets along well with all people he meets and other dogs alike. Legend is slowly learning his commands but still needs a bit of work on his training. With a lot of love and little patience he will make an excellent companion.

North Hempstead Assigned Aaa Rating From Moody’s Investors Services

North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena and the Town Board announced today that the independent Wall Street bond rating agency Moody’s Investors Service has assigned a Aaa rating to the Town’s $21.7 million Public Improvement Serial Bonds and $396,000 Public Improvement Bonds (Federally Taxable). Aaa is the highest rating provided by Moody’s.

Moody’s also maintained a Aaa rating on the Town’s outstanding general obligation limited tax (GOLT), with a stable outlook. This represents the 13th consecutive instance in which the Town has maintained its Aaa bond rating with Moody’s since becoming a Aaa bond rated municipality in March of 2017.

Moody’s stated: “The stable outlook reflects the town’s conservative fiscal management practices, which will support continued healthy operating performance and maintenance of a strong financial position.”

“I am extremely proud that the Town has once again received a Aaa bond rating from Moody’s,” Supervisor Jennifer DeSena said.

“This rating is the thirteenth consecutive affirmation of the Town’s Aaa Bond rating, and is indicative of the hard work, dedication, and discipline throughout budget

season. The Aaa rating is the highest a Town can achieve and will produce significant savings in the long run. I’m pleased that the Town was able to accomplish this while also unanimously passing a 5% tax cut in this year’s budget.”

It is incumbent upon us to continue the great progress we have

made and remain focused on what truly matters—keeping costs low for taxpayers while offering outstanding services.

Moody’s also cited:

• The stable outlook reflects the town’s conservative fiscal management practices, which will support continued healthy

operating performance and maintenance of a strong financial position.

• Credit strengths include large and diverse tax base with high income levels and ample local employment opportunities.

Town Board Adopts Local Laws To Help Small Businesses

North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena and the Town Board unanimously approved two local laws to assist small local businesses at a recent meeting held on Feb. 7.

Local Law Allowing Extended Temporary Outdoor Permits Including Sidewalk Sales & Seating

The legislation amended Chapter 48 entitled “Sidewalks” and Chapter 70 entitled “Zoning” of the Town Code. One resolution extended the suspension of the Town Code provisions limiting the

number of sidewalk sale permits that may be issued for any given location during a 12-month period and temporarily waive the fees for a sidewalk sale permit. Additionally, it was also approved to extend the timeframe to continue allowing temporary outdoor seating and other temporary outdoor uses. Both measures have been extended through Dec. 31, 2023 at which time it will be reevaluated.

Local Law Allowing Extended Use Of Tents For Businesses

The other legislation temporarily suspends Section 2-9 N (7) of the

Town Code with respect to tent permits. This temporary suspension allows businesses to apply for a tent permit and install a tent for up to six months, the maximum length allowed by state law.

Businesses participating in these initiatives, as well as those using outdoor heaters and temporary tents, must do so in compliance with the New York State Fire Code, the Nassau County Fire Ordinance, and the applicable permit provisions of the Town Code.

These efforts were initially part of the Town’s “Lift Up Local” initiative,

which was designed by Supervisor Judi Bosworth’s internal Business Recovery Response Workgroup. The group’s goal is to find ways to help businesses that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Workgroup, which includes members of the Town Board, has helped establish dining in local parks, expanded outdoor dining programs, created a “parklet” dining program, and facilitated street closures to help attract customers.

As Winter Persists, PSEG Customers May Be Eligible For Financial Assistance

PSEG Long Island wants to remind customers that assistance is available if they are struggling to pay their energy bills. The discount provided by the company’s Household Assistance Program has also increased for 2023.

The majority of customers on the Household Assistance Program will now save approximately $40 every 30 days on their electric bill. To learn more about the Household Assistance Program, customers can visit:

https://www.psegliny.com/en/myaccount/customersupport/financialassistance/ householdassistance.

“While this winter has been a mild one, PSEG Long Island knows that people are still struggling,” said Lou DeBrino, PSEG Long Island’s vice president of Customer Services. “To help manage energy use and costs, we offer resources, tips and a variety of energy efficiency programs. We encourage customers to reach out to us to enroll in a deferred payment agreement and learn about available financial assistance programs. We’re here to help.”

Assistance Available To Those Struggling With Bills

PSEG Long Island wants to work with any

customer struggling to pay their bills and help them find a solution. The company encourages anyone with a past-due account balance to call 1-800-490-0025 so a representative can help them develop a deferred payment agreement tailored to the needs of their household.

Additionally, PSEG Long Island wants to make customers aware of the financial assistance programs offered by New York State:

1) The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) can provide a heating fuel grant to eligible homeowners and renters depending on income, household size and how they heat their home. A family of four may have a maximum gross monthly income of $5,485 and still qualify for benefits. This benefit opened on Nov. 1. For more information, visit https://otda.ny.gov/ programs/heap/.

2) Emergency HEAP, a subset of the HEAP program, offers eligible customers a grant to help low- and middle-income New Yorkers

avoid having their home heating disconnected or exhausting their heating fuel source. This emergency portion of HEAP opened on Jan. 3, 2023. If customers are experiencing an emergency, they can apply for this benefit by reaching out to their local Department of Social Services location, which can be found here: https:// otda.ny.gov/programs/ heap/contacts/

For low-income households facing no-heat situations, the State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance is also accepting applications for its heating equipment repair or replacement benefit. Eligible homeowners can now apply for up to $4,000 for repair or $8,000 for replacement of a furnace, boiler or other direct heating equipment necessary to keep the household’s primary heating source working. Additionally, eligible households can receive energy efficiency services, which includes the cleaning of primary heating equipment to allow for its safe and efficient operation. Customers can apply for this benefit by

Legislature Makes Tax Exemptions For Volunteer Firefighters And Ambulance Workers More Accessible

On February 27th, the Nassau County Legislature unanimously passed a local law to lower the number of years that volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers need to serve before qualifying for a partial tax exemption on their county portion of their property taxes.

Prior to the law going into effect, volunteer firefighters and EMTS had to serve for five years before qualifying for a

tax exemption, but under this new law they would only need to volunteer for two years before qualifying. This tax exemption allows volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers to apply for up to a 10-percent exemption on the assessed value of their primary residential property if they reside in the community that they volunteer in. Additionally, volunteers who accrue twenty or more years of service shall be granted the

reduction for the remainder of the time that they reside in Nassau County, regardless of whether they are active or inactive from volunteering.

Local municipalities would need to opt in to this change to allow the same exemption to be applied to their portion of property taxes.

Expediting Review For Solar Installation And Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena, Councilmember Veronica Lurvey, and the Town Board unanimously approved a local law to help promote the use and installation of electric charging stations at a recent Town Board meeting held on Feb. 7. The legislation amends Chapter 2 of the

Town Code by authorizing the expedited review for solar installations, electric vehicle charging stations, and related equipment, including battery backup.

“This new law is a crucial step forward in our journey toward a more sustainable and resilient future,” said Councilmember

Lurvey. “It is imperative that North Hempstead empowers its residents to go green and embrace clean energy solutions. We are proud to be at the forefront of this important change.”

The expedited permit application will be reviewed by the Building Department

reaching out to their local Department of Social Services location, which can be found here: https://otda.ny.gov/programs/heap/ contacts/

3) Customers who apply for and receive one of these state or federal benefits are automatically placed on PSEG Long Island’s Household Assistance Program, and would be eligible for an energy audit through the Residential Energy Affordability Program, which provides energy efficiency measures and suggestions to help lower consumption.
