TOP STORY

The Cost Of Eliminating Gas Tax FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

T

he rapid rise in oil prices and supply problems and instability has translated into pain at the gas pump.

State legislators from both parties are introducing bills that would suspend a portion of the approximately 48 cents in taxes and fees that New Yorkers pay for each gallon of gas—among the highest in the nation. They hope to incorporate some kind of relief in the final budget, which has to be adapted by April 1. Governor Kathy Hochul has expressed ambivalence about the idea, though it passed in the state Senate as part of its proposed budget.

Senator Anna Kaplan (D–Great Neck) said in a statement, “The pain at the pump is real, and we need to do whatever we can to help Long Islanders fill up without breaking the bank. I was proud to vote to cut the gas tax in New York, and I’m calling on Nassau County to follow our lead and do the same thing so that people in our community can get some real relief from these rising costs.”

But critics warn that the resulting loss of more than $1 billion in revenues to the Dedicated Highway and Bridge Trust Fund (including support for the MTA) would need to be made up by taxpayers in other ways, even as the state is flush with cash from federal pandemic relief. Much of the gas tax money is used to fund road/bridge repairs and maintenance.

In the Nassau County Legislature, the Democratic Minority Caucus support a proposal that would temporarily suspend the county’s share of sales tax on gasoline (about 4¼ percent).

According to a press release, “Minority Leader Kevan M. Abrahams (D–Freeport) said this approach delivers meaningful relief to residents without jeopardizing Nassau’s fiscal health. Recent analysis indicates that the reduction in sales tax revenue caused by suspending the county portion of gasoline taxes would have a minimal impact upon the county’s projected sales tax surplus for fiscal year 2022.”

“Government has a responsibility to closely analyze every opportunity for minimizing as much pain at the pump as we possibly can,” Legislator Siela A. Bynoe (D–Westbury) said. “Paired with a renewed focus on preventing price gouging, this proposal would provide timely assistance to consumers during a tremendously

Congressman Tom Suozzi Nassau County (D–Glen Cove), who is Executive Bruce seeking to challenge Blakeman said through Hochul in the upcoming Government has a a spokesperson: “The Democratic primary, responsibility to closely increase in energy knocked the governor’s analyze every opportunity prices is directly “flip-flop” on enacting for minimizing as much attributable to federal a state gas tax Holiday, pain at the pump as we and state policies that noting that he had called have decreased domespossibly can. for one on Dec. 16. tic production and relied “Governor Hochul’s —Legislator Siela Bynoe on foreign energy sources indecision on the issue is (D–Westbury) which have increased energy hurting New Yorkers in their costs and made us vulnerable to pocketbooks,” he charged. “First she foreign powers.

(Pigsels)

and House legislation entitled the Gas Prices Relief Act of 2022.

Harry Wilson, who is vying with several others to win the Republican gubernatorial primary, also called for the gas tax holiday.

“Suspending the gas tax will help families keep more money in their pockets as the price at the pump soars,” said Wilson in a statement. “Suspending the state gas tax for six months is estimated to cost about $1.5 billion. And we can fully pay for it by freezing Hochul’s $10 billion slush fund and redirecting just a small portion of it toward relief at the pump.”

The leading Republican candidate for governor, Congressman Lee Zeldin of Suffolk County, has also backed suspending the state gas tax.

One of those who hopes to succeed Suozzi, Robert Zimmerman of Great Neck, is also supporting the legislation.

“The federal gasoline tax adds 18.4 cents to the price motorists pay for every gallon of gas. The loss of revenue to the Federal Highway Trust Fund can be made up by the Department of Transportation and should be due to the urgency of the situation,” Zimmerman said in a statement.

According to City & State, citing the Office of the State Comptroller, the state taxes per gallon is about 33 cents, divided into the motor fuel tax (8 cents), petroleum business tax (17.3 cents), state sales tax (8 cents) and gas testing fee (half a penny).

The state Dedicated Highway and Bridge Trust Fund received more than $1 billion in revenue last year from such taxes to help support construction projects, bond payments and downstate transit agencies like the MTA, according to the Office of the New York State Comptroller.

f the rain and the wind couldn’t stop the New Hyde Park community from marching in the village’s first annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, nothing can.

Village of New Hyde Park Mayor Christopher Devane announced in February that the village would be hosting its first parade in partnership with the New Hyde Park Fire Department on March 12 in dedication to all first responders. Nassau County Police Department Commissioner Patrick Ryder was the grand marshal of the parade.

“Thank you to everyone who took time out of their rainy day to come show support for not only our department but all the other fire departments that made an appearance,” read a statement published on the New Hyde Park Fire Department’s Facebook page.

Marching in the parade included the New Hyde Park Lion’s Club, the local Knights of

“A good time was had by all at the first annual New Hyde Park St. Patrick’s Day Parade,” wrote Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena on her Facebook page. “Mayor Chris Devane gave a beautiful

Certainly their Irish fathers in heaven are proud of their public service sons. As I told the crowd, New Hyde Park knows how to party rain or shine. It was heart-warming to see student artwork and signs decorate the parade route with messages of thanks to the amazing first responders.”

Bagpipes and drums provided the perfect soundtrack to this rainy parade.

Battle Of The Robots Garden City High School, Adelphi University STEP Program Victorious

BY ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF editors@antonnews.com

T

he Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City on March 12 was the home of the Southern New York State Championship that signals the close of the Southern New York State season for the VEX Robotics Competition.

Students have worked all season designing, building, programming, practicing, and fine tuning their robots through countless hours of work and competitions to be able to attend this event. At this event, there are only 12 seats for 56 high school students to compete at the World Championship event in Dallas, Texas each year. The event is the most important for all teams as it determines whether their season will continue or come to a close. This was the first in-person state championship event since the pandemic began in 2020.

The competition ran from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and it was hosted by Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology.

Schools competing included teams from Farmingdale, Great Neck, Freeport, Rockville Center Locust Valley, Garden City, Selden, Bellmore, Katonah, Woodmere, Garden City, Bronx, New York and Merrick, among others.

The Garden City High School Robotics Team and the Adelphi University STEP Program, a science advancement program, were victorious for their hometown.

The Garden City High School Robotics Team won the “Amaze Award,” qualifying

them for the World Championship event in Dallas. The Adelphi University STEP Program won the “Inspire Award.”

It may have been a gloomy day outside with wind, rain and snow, but inside the Cradle of Aviation was a crowd of excited and inspired students and their family and friends. The day started at 7:30 a.m., with the opening ceremony at 9 a.m. The qualification rounds began at 9:30 a.m., and with an hour long break for lunch from 12 to 1 p.m., the qualification rounds continued through 3:30 p.m. The alliance selections and elimination matches continued from 4 to 4:30 p.m., and students won their awards at 5:30 p.m.

Ranking in first place was the KG Computech team from Flushing, NY. The rules of the game are as follows: Matches are played on a field set up as illustrated in the figures throughout. Two alliances —one “red” and one “blue”— composed of two teams each, compete in each match. The object of the game is to attain a higher score than the opposing alliance by scoring rings, moving mobile goals to “Alliance Home Zones,” and by climbing platforms at the end of a match.

An “Autonomous Win Point” is awarded to any alliance that has cleared their AWP Line and scored at least one ring on or in each “Alliance Mobile Goal” at the end of the “Autonomous Period.” An “Autonomous Bonus” is awarded to the alliance that has the most points at the end of the “Autonomous Period.”

Singing In Unison Senior choir about more than just music

JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

M

embers of the North Hempstead Senior Choir start their week on a high note.

On Monday afternoons, the Clinton G. Martin Community Center fills with chatter as members of the North Hempstead Senior Choir usher in for their weekly rehearsal. For the members, this is something they look forward to.

But the chatter comes to a slow halt as Eleanor Gilder plays a few notes on the piano and Ellen S. Jaffe, the music director, sits at the front of the room with her baton, signaling that it’s time to sing.

On March 14, the choir began their rehearsal with “Let There Be Peace on Earth,” written by Jill Jackson-Miller, followed by “L-O-V-E,” written by Bert Kaempfert and Milt Gabler. Gilder joined the choir after retiring in 2004, and she’s been playing piano since she was 8 years old. “My father was a Lutheran minister, so I had first took piano lessons and of course I had access to an organ,” Gilder said.

Jaffe said directing the group has been wonderful and therapeutic.

“They all love each other,” Jaffe, who was a music major in college, said. “They love to sing.”

Among the singers is Joe Pellegrino, the producer of the group. He joined the North Hempstead Senior Choir over 10 years ago, a time that there were about 40 members.

Now the group is down to about 22 members. During the pandemic, the group saw a decline in membership.

But the choir stayed strong, nonetheless.

Members met over Zoom, singing from behind their computer screens.

“Every week they would have six or seven people sing a song,” Pellegrino said.

“We’d go with one person at a time, and they would sing a song. And it was just to keep people active and not go stir crazy.”

In-person meetings resumed last September, where members social distanced. Pellegrino said that by then the members felt comfortable with meeting, and they were happy to be back.

“Some people live alone, their spouses passed away, their children don’t live nearby, their grand-children don’t live nearby,” Pellegrino explained. “This is more of a family to them. They feel comfortable talking to each other, depending on who they are, about personal issues, medical issues and it is also [good] for their minds.

It keeps them active and they get to listen to music.”

Monday rehearsal is something the members of the North Hempstead Senior Choir look forward to. (Photo by Jennifer Corr) The group started in 1985, originally meeting at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow. When the Clinton G. Martin Community Center in New Hyde Park was built, the group moved there. In the large community room where the choir practices, they held a holiday concert in December where friends and family members were invited. Pellegrino is hoping the choir can go back to putting on regular shows at local libraries, senior centers and assisted living facilities as the group did in the past.

“People all enjoyed it and the singers all got satisfaction out of it,” Pellegrino said of

the choir’s last concert. “It gave them more satisfaction when we started doing assisted living places, because these people are really on their own. They’re by themselves.

Some of them don’t have family anymore and they enjoy listening to the music.”

The music that the choir performs ranges from show tunes to songs from The Beatles or Frank Sinatra.

Pellegrino said that any seniors who like to sing are invited to join this choir that meets at the Clinton G. Martin Community Center on Monday afternoons. Those interested in auditioning for the group should call Joe M. at 631-978-1324.

Fatal Car Accidents — A Tragic Weeklong Result Of Daylight Savings Time Daylight Savings Time (DST), a policy dating back to World War I to save energy, is an opportunity to get more light during the evening and less light during the morning. This makes days feel longer as we approach the summer months. This biannual event has become quite controversial recently. It’s no mystery why many people hate when DST begins in March and deem it as an unnecessary nuisance with research suggesting the amount of electricity saved is negligible.

According to research out of the University of Colorado Boulder, in the week following DST, fatal car accidents in the United States spike by 6 percent, resulting in about 28 additional deaths

each year. Over the 22 years of data analyzed, 627 people died in fatal car accidents associated with the spring shift to daylight saving time. Losing an hour of sleep can impact the ability to make safe choices while behind the wheel. DST can cause many motorists to drive fatigued. The lack of light in the morning can also impact safety. With this known, drivers should practice extra caution.

What to do if involved in a car accident?

• Check oneself and passengers for injuries • Get to safety • Call 9-1-1 • Document the accident and exchange

information •Take photographs of the vehicles involved and the scene of the accident “Consistent warmer weather is approaching and COVID restrictions are virtually obsolete in many places,” said Ronald Ingber, the managing partner of Siler & Ingber, LLP in Mineola. “The result is an increase in drivers on the roads. People must know the unseen effects that DST may have, to prevent a catastrophic accident. It is not safe to operate a motor vehicle while fatigued from losing sleep.”

A native of New York City and one of the most ambitious men America has ever produced, Roosevelt’s rise was stunning: Harvard graduate, New York City Police Commissioner, New York Governor, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Vice President and then, Chief Executive.

As withjcorr@antonmediagroup.com Chester Arthur, Roosevelt also became president after an assassination: That of William McKinley, a beloved Civil War veteran. Roosevelt won a landslide re-election in 1904. He was succeeded by a fellow Republican, William Howard Taft. Roosevelt was frustrated with Taft.

He mounted the third party Bull Moose campaign in 1912, splitting the GOP vote and paving the way for the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. As president, Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in ending the Russo-Japanese War, he sent the U.S. Navy fleet in an around-the-world showchinko@antonmediagroup.com of American force and he became the first president to visit foreign soil when he traveled to Central America to inspect the progress of the Panama Canal construction.

He also ended up on Mount Rushmore.

During his presidency, the United States surpassed Great Britain in having the world’s largest economy. “Thank God I am not a free trader!” Roosevelt reportedly blurted out when told the news. He was president when a protectionist GOP dominated American

CHRISTY HINKO

Franklin Roosevelt

A distant cousin of Teddy Roosevelt, the 32nd president has ended up on the silver-coined dime. The twentieth century remains a contest between Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson as its most important president. Roosevelt’s rise was also meteoric.

A graduate of Harvard, Roosevelt nursed a lifelong grudge at not being elected to its prestigious Porcelain Club. Along the way, Roosevelt was a State Senator, an Assistant Secretary of the Navy, a defeated Vice Presidential candidate, a Governor of New York and finally, the Democrats’ winning nominee for President in 1932.

After re-election in 1936, Roosevelt, in 1940, broke precedent by running for—and winning—a third term. Controversy over the Dec. 7, 1941 Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor has never abated. Did Roosevelt know of the attack? Was it more destructive than he imagined? The man went from “Dr. New Deal” to “Dr. Win the War.” The architect of the modern welfare state, commander-in-chief during history’s greatest war and the patron saint of American liberalism, Roosevelt died in office in 1944, while serving in his fourth term. Roosevelt’s death left a nation in mourning. A generation of Americans could not imagine anyone else as President. It was left to FDR’s successor, Harry Truman, to win World War II and try to secure the postwar peace.

Donald Trump

In 1966, California surpassed New York as the nation’s most populous state. By 2016, New York had dropped to fourth place, behind not just California, but now Texas and Florida. It didn’t seem possible that the Empire State would produce another

president. The failed presidency of George W. Bush left the “Sun Belt” era of 1968 to 2008 in ruin. And so, 2016 saw two New Yorkers: Donald Trump, a Queens native, and Hillary Clinton, an Illinois transplant, vying for the presidency. For decades, Trump was a real estate mogul who dominated the gossip pages. No one took his political aspirations seriously. Trump won a surprise victory in 2016, before losing his re-election bid in 2020, an election that he maintains was stolen. Trump may or may not run again in 2024. His legacy so far remains an attempt to bring the GOP back to its America First roots of Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge and the appointment of three conservative justices to the Supreme Court.

And so, an impressive—and historic— roster. Van Buren, Fillmore, Arthur and Cleveland all proved that one can be a good president without being a war president.

Franklin Roosevelt’s position is secure, even though the man still has his critics. Theodore Roosevelt, however, has suffered the Biblical fate of the prophet without honor. His family suffered greatly for this nation: Roosevelt was a veteran of the Spanish-American War, his son, Quentin, died in combat in World War I. Undaunted, Roosevelt’s oldest son, Theodore Junior, at age 57, commanded a brigade at the June 6, 1944 D-Day landing. If Roosevelt makes the news these days, it is not for heroism. An equestrian statue of the man in front of the Museum of Natural History, one constructed as a tribute to racial harmony, was recently dismantled and shipped to far-off North Dakota. Roosevelt is honored in his adopted hometown of Oyster Bay with the Sagamore Hill house. A statue of him was erected in front of the Nassau County legislature building in Mineola. Unlike New York City, Nassau County holds the line.

Putting A Target On The Backs Of Gun Runners Donnelly creates illegal firearms task force

N

assau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly announced the formation of the Firearms Suppression and Intelligence Unit at the district attorney’s office to combat an increase in illegal guns in the county.

“The volume of firearms that we’ve seized since the new year is truly staggering,” Donnelly said. “We are witnessing a once-in-a-generation surge of illegal and untraceable weapons into Nassau County and too many innocent people are becoming victims of gun violence. We will use every tool at our disposal and collaborate with every federal and local partner to stem the flow of these weapons into Nassau County.”

The District Attorney’s Firearms Suppression and Intelligence Unit consists of three prosecutors with extensive training in firearms and narcotics, as well as two specialized detective investigators with decades of experience in long-term weapons investigations, and an intelligence analyst.

From Jan. 1 to March 9, 2022, law enforcement in Nassau County has seized 94 firearms during criminal investigations. In

2021, 45 guns were seized in the same twomonth period, while 51 were seized in 2020.

The unit will utilize enhanced investigative techniques and the new ballistics capabilities of the Nassau County Office of the Medical Examiner’s Crime Laboratory to analyze if previously unrelated shootings are related.

“Our objective when we arrest a person with one gun is to find out where that gun came from and work our way up the pyramid to find out who is the gun supplier,” Donnelly said.

An analysis of gun prosecutions indicates that the majority of firearms seized in Nassau County are from out of state, with most trafficked along the “Iron Pipeline” from southeastern states to New York along Interstate 95. Additionally, an increasing proportion of so-called ghost guns, which can be assembled from

kits purchased online and do not have serial numbers, are being seized in criminal investigations in the county.

In February, both a dentist and New York City firefighter were arrested for possessing multiple illegal weapons, including ghost guns.

FDNY firefighter and Baldwin resident Aaron Martin, Jr. was arrested in Queens County on Feb. 13, for possession of two ghost gun kits.

After executing a search warrant at his home in North Baldwin, six assault weapons and ammunition were recovered. The defendant surrendered to members of the Nassau County Police Department on Feb. 25, and was charged with seven counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (a C violent felony) and seven counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon (a D violent felony). The

defendant faces a potential maximum of 90 years in prison.

On Feb. 16, 62-year-old Paul Carey of Massapequa, was arrested for possession of 30 firearms, including 20 assault weapons.

Eighteen of those assault weapons are without serial numbers and ghost guns.

The defendant—a dentist—was allegedly in possession of 61 high-capacity magazines, thousands of rounds of ammunition, seven silencers and multiple firearm parts. The defendant is charged with first-degree criminal possession of a weapon (a B violent felony), second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (a C violent felony) and three counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon (two of which are D violent felonies.) The defendant faces a potential maximum of 25 years in prison.

Martin is represented by Robert Gallo, Esq. Carey is represented by John Carman, Esq. The charges are merely accusations and the defendants are presumed innocent until and unless found guilty.

Honor Women’s History By Championing The Heroes In Your Organization March is Women’s History Month, a time to acknowledge all the contributions women have made to American history. If you visit www.womenshistorymonth. gov, you’ll see photos of female heroes as we traditionally envision them: Billie Holiday, whose voice shaped popular music; suffragettes picketing for equal voting rights in 1917.

You’ll also see photos of women living everyday life: assembling the engine cowling of a WWII bomber; working at a cotton mill in Georgia while pregnant; doing their best to thrive after being placed in an internment camp merely for being JapaneseAmerican. These are the heroes I celebrate when I think about women’s history. They are people I know, like my mom or my gram, who supported her family after her husband died; women who have faced a challenge and overcame it.

As the first female director at the newly formed PSEG Long Island, I have done my best over the past eight years to honor the example set by these heroes by helping more women reach leadership positions and achieve their true potential.

In so doing, I hope to emulate one of my earliest heroes: my sixth-grade teacher in North Babylon. She was an extremely strong, confident, independent

woman who believed in her students. She made sure you knew that you could accomplish anything.

My professional path brought me together with more heroes, women who overcame sometimes life-threatening challenges. After getting my undergraduate degree at Hofstra, I obtained a law degree from Touro and spent several years representing women who were victims of domestic violence.

One individual had been beaten by her husband in front of her preschool-aged child. After that traumatic experience, she had the courage to stand up to him in court, move out of state and get the career she wanted, all the while knowing the violence she risked. To me, she’s a hero

because she had the courage and strength to do better for herself and her child.

After practicing law for 12 years, I took a chance and accepted a position as a collections supervisor at PSEG Long Island’s predecessor company. As a working mother, I appreciated the more favorable work-life balance of a career away from the courtroom. Time passed, and I was promoted to manager. When PSEG Long Island was formed, I was chosen as director of Revenue Operations—and became the very first woman to hold a director-level role in the new company.

I never felt the weight of being the first, because it was never about me—it was about pulling other women up with me and I made it my mission to champion high-potential women for leadership positions.

Fortunately, PSEG Long Island has been fantastic with their support of women. They offer a number of development programs for women. I have had opportunities to be able to transition into three different director roles and that’s been invaluable.

Today, I am proud to be one of five women directors working to make things better for our 1.1 million customers.

Although we are a children’s mental health organization, we know that emotional well-being and physical health are inexorably tied, each deeply impacting the other.

The Guidance Center has several programs that promote the health of mothers and children. One is our Good Beginnings for Babies program, which aims to promote healthier pregnancies that will result in healthier babies and to nurture relationships between parent and child. Good Beginnings for Babies supports teen and young adult mothers prior to the birth of

WORLD AFFAIRS

This Russian Denounces The Ukrainian Invasion One hundred years ago, the predicament of the Russian in America was very different than it is today. Rampant discrimination was abound. Russians, among other Slavic peoples, were used as a pawn against organized labor, baselessly smeared as Communists and anarchists based on the actions of a few, culminating in blankcheck raids by the Attorney General of the time against tens of thousands of Eastern European immigrants. Five years later, Congress would pass the Quota Act: officially capping the amount of immigrants from Eastern Europe, relegating Slavs to the “uncivilized” category.

A century later, much has changed. Immigration quotas have been abolished, the Cold War is over and Russians are no longer being profiled. And yet, something continues to linger under the surface: the assumption I’m somehow not a “real” American. Despite being born in America and speaking perfect English, countless individuals throughout my life have assumed I am a foreigner when I say I am Russian or asked me where I’m “really” from.

Stereotypes? I’ve heard them all. No, I don’t drink vodka. I don’t wear an ushanka all the time, and I do, in fact, smile.

The most popular stereotype of all is that we Russians

unconditionally support Vladimir Putin or that we yearn for a return to Communism.

I’m here today to set the record straight: I, along with the majority of Russians and Russian-Americans, do not support Vladimir Putin. In addition, xI utterly denounce the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian government.

Vladimir Putin is a lawless dictator, crook, robber and tyrant who has continued the 1,200-year streak of autocratic rule in Russia. He has assassinated opposition leaders, suspended due process, rigged the judicial system and looks the other way as his vassals set up LGBTQ+ concentration camps.

His is a regime of restricted civil liberties and Russian people languishing, while he and his fat oligarch cronies loot the treasury, and it goes without saying that his invasion of Ukraine is illegal, unjustified and atrocious.

So who do you think you are, assuming this young, progressive Russian has some kind of “allegiance” to a regime he

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Martine Hackett, my Birth Justice Warrior co-founder and an associate professor in the public health and community health programs at Hofstra, at a press conference held by New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. The senator, along with Representative Alma Adams of North Carolina, are the sponsors of the Maternal CARE Act, which would provide funding for evidence-based training programs to reduce bias in maternal health and establish programs to bring health care services to pregnant women and new mothers in an effort to reduce the disproportionate rate of maternal death and other poor health outcomes among Black women and their babies.

In her statement, Gillibrand said the following: “Health equity for Black women can only happen if we recognize and address persistent biases in our health

system and do more to ensure women have access to culturally competent, holistic care to reduce preventable maternal mortality.”

Both North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center and Birth Justice Warriors support this important legislation, and we hope that you will join us in spreading the word so that all women receive the care they need and deserve.

despises, based on a genetic happenstance?

Unfortunately, these harmful assumptions are already spreading throughout the American and European body politic. Like anti-Asian sentiment during the pandemic, and like antisemitism during the 2021 Gaza war, a rise in anti-Russian sentiment is already being documented across the West. Russian restaurants and stores owned by Russians are being boycotted, including those whose owners have aided the Ukrainian relief effort. In Europe, some businesses refuse to cater to Russian customers and countries like Czechia have stopped issuing immigration visas to Russians altogether.

Why must ordinary Russians be punished for the actions of a rogue government? This war has devastated Ukraine, but the citizens of Russia have suffered too.

Well-meaning sanctions meant to target Russian oligarchs have led to rapidly deteriorating living standards for Russians (I should know; ask my close relatives).

Russian soldiers have been forced to fire on ethnic Russians living in Eastern Ukraine.

Russian soldiers have broken down in tears, questioning the purpose of their fighting, and thousands of Russians have

been arrested inside Russia for protesting the war, including a 77-year-old survivor of the Nazi siege of Leningrad.

Many Russians outside Russia, including my own family, have protested against the Russian invasion.

We want to see the Russian people unshackled and flourishing and we want the boundaries of Ukraine to be respected.

We want a swift and peaceful resolution to the current conflict, with the priority being a minimization of civilian deaths. What we do not want is for ordinary Russians like myself to be added to a long list of individuals who have been scapegoated for the actions of systems of power.

Until this conflict is over, I urge anyone who can to donate to charities working on the ground to avail the growing Ukrainian humanitarian crisis. I recommend Save the Children Ukraine, UNHCR, or the Salvation Army as reputable charities; otherwise, avoid scams by verifying charitable organizations listed on the Federal Trade Commission’s website. For now, though: the world stands with Ukraine.

Go Native

ow homeowners and businesses design the landscape on their property, including plant choices, can result in significant positive benefits on the environment, the public water supply and public health.

Native plants are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions where they naturally occur. These important plant species provide nectar, pollen, and seeds that serve as food for native butterflies, insects, birds and other animals. Unlike natives, common horticultural plants do not fit the bill. These adaptations bring us several gardening advantages.

Native plants, birds, butterflies, beneficial insects and interesting critters are “made for each other.”

Research shows that native wildlife prefers native plants.

Once established, many native plants need minimal irrigation beyond normal rainfall.

Low maintenance landscaping methods are a natural fit with native plants that are already adapted to the local environment. Look forward to using less water, little to no fertilizer, little to no pesticides, less pruning and less of your time.

Native plants have developed their own defenses against many pests and diseases. Since most pesticides kill indiscriminately, beneficial insects become secondary targets in the fight against pests. Reducing or eliminating pesticide use lets natural pest control take over and keeps garden toxins out of creeks and

watersheds.

As development replaces natural habitats, planting gardens, parks and roadsides with New York native plants can provide a “bridge” to nearby remaining wildlands.

Try native plants. Additional information about gardening with native plants can be found at bookstores, online and at your local library.

You can help pollinators, save money and have clearer air by reducing the area of your property that you mow. If you have the space, consider letting an area of your lawn grow long.

You’d be surprised what a little meadow can do for wildlife, especially fireflies.

Did you know that running a gas-powered mower for an hour emits the same amount of pollution as a 20-mile car trip?

The average gas-powered push mower produces 14.76 pounds of air pollution in an hour. That’s enough polluting gas to surround you in a big bubble. Electric mowers are much cleaner.

Taller grasses and lawn substitutes with less mowing disturbances provide cover and nesting sites for some pollinators.

Although you might not see them, fireflies spend the day resting among the blades of grass. The more you mow, the less inviting your lawn is for fireflies.

Reducing the area that you mow will save you both time and money.

Town And Nassau SPCA Issue Coyote Safety And Behavior Tips After Recent Sightings W

ith recent coyote sightings in Lattingtown and other North Shore communities this week, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilwoman Michele Johnson and Nassau County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Board President Gary Rogers recently issued the following safety and behavior tips for residents. Do not allow coyotes to approach people or pets. If you see a coyote exhibiting threatening behavior, dial 911.

Safety Tips:

• Unintentional food sources attract coyotes, other wildlife and increase risks to people and pets.

• Do not feed coyotes. Discourage others from doing so.

• Do not feed pets outside. If you are feeding feral cats please stay and observe the cat feedings and remove all food before leaving.

• Eliminate availability of bird seed.

Concentrations of birds and rodents at feeders can attract wildlife. If you see a coyote(s) near your bird feeder, clean up waste seed and spillage to remove the attractant.

• Make certain that garbage is inaccessible

to wildlife.

• Fence or enclose compost piles so they are not accessible.

• Teach children to appreciate wildlife from a distance as to avoid the risk of being injured.

• If confronted, stand tall, and hold arms out to look large. If a coyote lingers for too long, then make loud noises, wave your arms, throw sticks and stones. Do not run away, running away after seeing a coyote is behaving like prey.

• Do not allow pets to run free. Supervise all outdoor pets to keep them safe from coyotes and other wildlife, especially at sunset and at night. Small dogs (even if on leash) and cats are especially vulnerable to coyotes. Keep cats indoors.

• Conflicts between dogs and coyotes can happen any time of the year, but are more likely in the months of March and April. It is during this time that coyotes are setting

• Fencing your yard may deter coyotes. The fence should be tight to the ground, preferably extending six inches below ground level, and taller than 4 feet.

• Remove brush and tall grass from around

your home to reduce protective cover for coyotes. Coyotes are typically secretive and like areas where they can hide.

• Be aware people do coexist with coyotes but caution, care and common sense must be used.

atthew Castillo is a senior at Schreiber High School and the captain of the Viking Wrestling team.

He has been wrestling since he was in kindergarten when he joined the Port Youth Athletics wrestling program, which led to a historic wrestling career.

From a young age, Castillo was inspired by his older brothers. “His older brothers

wrestled, so he was always at those matches,” said mom Kelly Castillo. “He would watch their tournaments and cheer on his brothers and the other kids on the team. The team was always wrestling with him between matches and he just loved it.”

“Wrestling is my favorite sport,” Castillo said. “There is no secret to wrestling. I put a lot of extra time in running, lifting, and going to extra wrestling practices..”

“When you win, you stay humble and when you lose, you lose with pride and keep your head up,” Castillo said.

“Every match is a lesson and I am always looking to improve for the next one. Wrestling has taught me many lessons that I will carry throughout life, especially accountability and responsibility.”

Castillo’s positivity and humility are vital qualities that make him a good team captain.

“Castillo is a three-time captian and has been an exceptional leader through his incredible work ethic in the wrestling room,” Viking wrestling coach Anthony Schettino said. “Castillo makes good decisions and stays away from anything that would affect his performance.

He vocally supports and lifts his teammates whenever they face adversity. Castillo has certainly served as a role model to the younger guys on the team.”

“Castillo went on to win or make the finals of every single tournament during the regular season,” said Schettino. “He was recognized as the Section 8, Nassau County Wrestling Sportsmanship of the Year Recipient. Castillo will be competing in the National Championships at the end of March.We wish him the best!”

Matthew Castillo (in blue) dominates in the ring.

Castillo led the team to a historic season as captain, and his personal wrestling career is monumental.

Castillo has 134 career wins.

He has been honored five times as a New York State Scholar-Athlete and is a three-time Nassau County finalist.

The discipline Castillo learned

from wrestling has transferred over to improve his dedication to education, which has allowed Castillo many options when it comes to his future.

“I’m still deciding what I want to do, but I know that whichever path I decide to take will lead to great success due to the grit I developed on the mat,” Castillo said.

My goal is always a natural outcome to enhance my

payroll. That too was Costello’s real-life strategy. Corleone grabbed the audience’s sympathy as a loyal family man. That was modeled on Gambino. The latter managed to keep his two sons out of the rackets.

That was Corleone’s fondest dream for his younger son, Michael.

Both Michael and Sonny Corleone, Don Vito’s volatile eldest son, were composites of Charles (Lucky) Luciano at various stages of the latter’s career. Moe Greene is based on Bugsy Siegel, the would-be Las Vegas visionary, while Hyman Roth is modeled after Meyer Lansky. The line in The Godfather II, “We’ll be bigger than General Motors” was modified from an aside the elderly Lansky made while caught on a surveillance tape.

For the film, Puzo found a script collaborator in another Long Island native.

Francis Coppola, a graduate of Great Neck North High School, originally did not want to direct the film. He believed a film version would put his fellow ItalianAmericans in a negative light. Robert Evans, head of Paramount Studios, wanted someone with Italian ancestry to direct.

Prior to The Godfather, Coppola, then 33 years old, had several films under his belt, including Finian’s Rainbow (1968) and The Rain People (1969). He also co-wrote the script for Patton (1970), winning his first Academy Award for Screenwriting.

Coppola relented. Studio heads agreed that only Brando could play Vito Corleone.

Both Pacino and Caan auditioned for the Michael Corleone part. Coppola took his time with the film. The man clearly had one of the finest collections of screen talent on hand. The original film Coppola

Francis Ford Coppola circa 1976 (public domain)

handed over to Evans was only an hour and a half. Evans reportedly rejected that version, claiming that too much of the family drama ended up on the cutting room floor. Coppola went back to the grindstone and produced the three-hour epic that has packed movie houses ever since. The film was also a family undertaking. Coppola directed his older sister, Talia Shire in the role of Connie Corleone, the young bride of an abusive—and turncoat—husband. Coppola’s father, Carmine, wrote the score for the film’s opening wedding scene.

GODFATHER from page 12A The Godfather went on to win three Academy Awards and numerous other awards. Coppola earned his second Academy Award, this time for Adapted Screenplay.

Coppola was now the hottest director in Hollywood. Both Brando and Duvall came on board for 1978’s Apocalypse Now, a Vietnam War-era epic. Other Coppola directed films have included The Conversation (1974), The Cotton Club (1984) and Peggy Sue Got Married (1986), plus the two popular sequels to The Godfather.

Coppola was born in Detroit to a musical family. His father was a principal flutist for the NBC Symphony Orchestra. The family moved, first, to Woodside, Queens and later to Great Neck. At Hofstra University, Coppola came into his own. He became interested in all facets of film making, including writing and directing. He was president of both the university’s drama group and comedy club. After Hofstra, Coppola attended graduate school at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). He remained in California and his conquest of Hollywood was only a matter of time.

On the 50th anniversary of the film, several of its stars looked back fondly on the film’s rigorous schedule.

“Francis’ genius was not just in directing that film. It was gathering a group of experts who became the experts,” Caan said in a recent interview. “The story, there were a lot of angles in it that had to touch one of us in the audience. Some could have said, ‘Wow, that was a really strong (story) about the family.’

Somebody else could’ve said, ‘See how that works as a gangster?’ … Whatever it was, there was enough out there to interest somebody, no matter what they did for a living.”

“It’s a rough thing to see a pregnant woman being knocked around,” Shire added in her own interview, speaking of a climactic scene. “And I had to move from place to place, and I was honestly terrified because you didn’t want to do another take. Another take meant everything had to be reset and I just wanted to keep going and sometimes things wouldn’t break. And I remember my shoes came off and I kept running, hoping, ‘Feet don’t fail me now. I don’t want to get cut.’ But it was a marvel to shoot and I think it was very potent.”

That it was. Evans’s judgment proved prescient. The audience forgot about the crime aspect and rooted for the Corleone family against their many rivals.

he Schechter School of Long Island, a small kindergarten through 12th grade school in Williston Park with students from Roslyn, Jericho, Great Neck, Plainview, Oyster Bay and other local communities, could not simply stand by as lives have been uprooted in the Ukraine.

“As a Jewish school, our philosochinko@antonmediagroup.com phy is always about giving to charity,” said Elizabeth Kahn, director of Institutional Advancement and Community Outreach. “Our kids brought these initiatives on their own.”

The Schechter School of Long Island is hosting several initiatives to collect supplies for Ukrainians; including a pajama drive, a campaign to collect hygiene and feminine products and a

CHRISTY HINKO

collection for diapers. A teacher and former parent of a student has also donated 300 shirts and at the end of the month, there will be a school-wide “bowl-a-thon.” The fifth-grade class is also working with high school students that are members of a club called Kesher to put on an assembly where a Ukrainian immigrant will discuss their experience.

“I am happy that I, along with the other club members, will have an opportunity to educate our whole school about the situation in Ukraine and work together to help make a difference in the lives of individuals affected by the attack,” 11th-grade student Paris Levy said.

And to add to the initiatives, students are writing and mailing appeals for donations with the help of their parents.

“Ukrainians need help,” fifth -grader Sam Mitzner said. “It is good to help people. The Ukrainians, children and babies and families are hiding in

Emma Bruck, a first-grade girl, with donated pajamas. Her mother donated over 20 pairs of pajamas and t-shirts to send to Ukrainian refugees. Photo courtesy The Schechter School of Long Island [makeshift] bomb shelters, subway stations and under bridges.”

Kahn summarized that though the students are leading several different initiatives, they all have the same outcome: helping Ukrainians. “[The students] see this on television and they have access to social media,” Kahn said. “They know what’s happening and

they’re seeing it every day: these parents and kids trying to sneak out in order to save their families.

It is moving and it is scary for them and they feel very helpless.”

All efforts have been student-driven and teacher-assisted, Kahn added, because it is a way for students to feel like they are making a difference even though the war is happening overseas.

“It makes me feel better,” Mitzner said. “We are trying to make things better. We can’t do anything directly to help, but we want to do whatever we can.”

It makes sense that these students would respond to the war in Ukraine by collecting supplies, because donating and helping others is ingrained in their curriculum. At a young age, the children are directed to bring in pennies to donate to charities and as they get older, they bring in dollars.

“It is a school-wide mission and it is taught early in kindergarten but it is also taught by the parents and family as well that it is very important to think outside of yourself and give to people who need,” Kahn said.

The Schecter School of Long Island is working with authorized and reliable groups that are actively delivering the supplies to refugees that have traveled to Poland and the monetary donations to those still in Ukraine.

On-Going Ukrainian Relief Drive Already A Huge Success

n less than a week, the County Legislature’s Ukrainian Relief Drive collection bins at Cantiague Park have overflowed with supplies. Legislator Laura Schaefer, whose district includes Cantiague in Hicksville, and Legislator Rose Marie Walker, helped pack up the supplies.

The drive runs until March 25, and boxes are located at Eisenhower Park, Wantagh Park, Christopher Morley Park, Grant Park, Nickerson Park, Cantiague Park and the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building.

Food and clothing will no longer be accepted, however there is a great need for medical supplies and personal care items for all ages. After the drive ends, the supplies from all the county parks will be delivered to the Polish Consulate, who will then send it to Europe.

“I am thrilled by the turnout for this Ukrainian relief drive,” Schaefer said. “Thank you to everyone who has donated so far.

These supplies will go a long way

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

ow that the 2022 baseball season has been saved and a work stoppage avoided, there is no better time to take a look at some of major league baseball’s less flattering uniform looks from years past. Not unlike the three other major sports, team jerseys are a significant revenue generator for MLB teams. And while most of the selections on this list are the product of being conceived in the 1970s and 1980s, when fashion sense was defined by bell bottoms, wide collars and shoulder pads, two nominees were a result of a bold-faced grab for coin in the go-go 1990s. To be sure, there have been plenty of crimes against style sense to parse through. These just happen to be the five most egregious.

2

Houston Astros (1975-1986) These unis that were lovingly referred to as having a tequila sunrise design are a perfect example of being so garish that they’re actually quasi-cool. There was obviously something to their appeal as the Astros took to the field in them for a decade-plus. The clash of yellow and orange were perfectly complemented by the strategic positioning of players’ numbers right in the crotch area.

1

Cleveland Indians (1975) You would think that Frank Robinson being named the first black manager in the major leagues this year by the Tribe would have been big enough news in Cleveland. Instead, he had to contend with these allred monstrosities that had the cumulative effect of having a large man like Boog Powell look like a huge tomato stepping into the batter’s box or a giant stick of Big Red gum with arms and legs.

3

Chicago White Sox (1976) The White Sox’s then-owner was baseball impresario Bill Veeck (he of the pinch-hitting midget and Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park). His 1961 memoir was called Veeck as in Wreck, which is the word you can use to describe these uniforms that somehow managed to incorporate polo-style collars and for one game of a 1976 double-header against the Kansas City Royals, shorts.

4

New York Mets/Pittsburgh Pirates (1999) Here, you get two-for-the-price of one as the Mets and Bucs decided to participate in a 1999 MLB promotion dubbed Turn Ahead the Clock. A Mariners marketing director came up with the idea in 1998 and the MLB got Century 21 Real Estate to sponsor it the following year.

As you can tell by these sartorial atrocities, the Mets and Bucs would have been better off going back in time during this go-round.

5

San Diego Padres (1978-1982) The Padres seem to have the market cornered on consistently ugly uniforms dating back to these late 1970s/early 1980s beauties distinguished by the combination of very dated bubble lettering for the logo and quite an interesting color combination of brown and yellow that will either have you thinking about a taco dinner or the aftermath a few hours later.

Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 13 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

Rugby League

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you already own a thing, it’s silly to try to figure out what’s wrong with it. Why look for problems? But when you are still considering a purchase, it makes good sense to kick the tires, slam the doors, test the waters and poke around to see where the holes are. Anything broken will reveal itself.

Solution: 13 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may not be able to actually go on the adventure you’d love to launch right now, but the world of imagination and media will provide much-needed escape from routine pressures. Why should this be a guilty pleasure?

Let it be just a pleasure and leave needless emotions out of it -- no apologies!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You could burn the bridge behind you and there would still be ways to get back -- swim, build a boat, hitch a ride on a plane -- all uncertain and time consuming. When you think about it, it’s smarter to be nice to the bridge. This may be a lot for your ego to take. Get away from the situation to let feelings mellow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Self-control may seem to be a finite and therefore exhaustible resource. You’ll have more of it than you did on other days. Still, you can’t expect yourself to resist temptation forever. Make adjustments to your environment so you won’t need as much willpower to fulfill your expectations of yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You show up to life, and you try to surround yourself with people who do the same. It’s a baseline of expected behavior by which the world runs. Even so, don’t take a change of plan personally. It may seem inconvenient in the moment, but the switch-up will be for the better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are many ways to think of the situation; it can work beautifully in a number of different iterations. So, when plans change, it’s nothing to worry about. This week presents opportunities to tell yourself it’s all going to be fine -- and probably even better than if it had happened in the original way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your dreams are neither unrealistic nor selfish; they are right for you. Your biggest obstacle is a lack of faith. Could you decide to be naive? Stop overthinking and move with your instincts. Without the extra baggage caused by doubt and worry, you will float with improbable speed toward the fulfillment of a fantasy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What’s readily available will be perceived as less valuable -- a complexity of human nature that you can use to your advantage now. You will be the commodity that is less available, more mysterious and therefore an irresistible draw. People will compete for your attention and pay top dollar for what you sell.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Your worldview is always expanding; the wonder never stops. You have a knack for finding and sharing worthwhile endeavors, valuable items and other offbeat treasures. You’ll apply this talent to beautifying your surroundings, elevating the mundane and helping others. In the process, you’ll make friends and money.

Summer brings a project that is daunting in scope. Fill in the gaps of uncertainty with an assumption that you can and will do it. Act with confidence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even in the case of very principled people, loyalty can trump agreement. Therefore, a person who is always on your side may not always think you’re right. Such ideas swirl around this week’s themes. The bottom line: People make mistakes, but you’d rather stand by them if you can find a way to ethically do it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll find yourself on a fact-finding mission. As you gather information this week, do consider the source. Some professions require pessimism from their practitioners. Lawyers, doctors, police officers and more must anticipate what could go wrong in order to do their job well.

Some plays in bridge are so rare that it is not worth the effort to try to remember them, so you’ll know what to do the next time they arise.

You would be better advised to hope that if the rara avis presents itself again, you’ll be able to find the winning play by relying on your own common sense.

Take this case where South reached four spades on the bidding shown and West led the ten of hearts. Declarer won with the queen, East following with the deuce, led a club to dummy’s queen

and returned the nine of spades, losing to West’s queen.

It was at this point that West made a most remarkable play. He returned the king of diamonds!

This left South with no way to make the contract, regardless of how he continued.

In practice, he won the king of diamonds with the ace and led another trump. West took his ace and returned the jack of diamonds to dummy’s queen. East ruffed and exited with a heart, and declarer later lost another diamond trick to go down one.

West’s king-of-diamonds return was not just a wild shot. He had deduced from the bidding and play that South had the diamond ace and was also likely to hold three or four diamonds. West therefore could visualize that after he regained the lead with the trump ace, East would be able to ruff dummy’s queen of diamonds, most likely resulting in defeat of the contract.

Note that West had to lead specifically the king of diamonds to stop the contract. If he returned, say, the jack instead, declarer would win with dummy’s queen and return a trump to West’s ace. When West now played the king of diamonds, East could ruff or discard, but either way, South would make four spades.

Mineola Memorial Library Releases Historical, Digital Scrapbook

Turnpike. The Village of Mineola took over full operation in 1947, after which employees began to have a salary. In the 1950s, with increasing circulation and library use, plans were made to construct a new library at the Mineola Memorial Park on Marcellus Road.

The new library was completed in 1956.

—Submitted by the Mineola Memorial Library

1940 – 2021

Marilyn Bosley was born August 11, 1940 to the Rev. Orville and Christine Bosley, in Cooperstown New York.

They soon moved to Caledonia where she was raised with her older sister Anne. Growing up the daughter of a Presbyterian minister meant that the church was at the center of her life. She and Anne were active in the church youth group and during a summer in college she spent time in Europe helping refugees. In 1962 she earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Cornell University and later in life a master’s degree in library science from CW Post. Following her time at Cornell she moved to Philadelphia and worked as teacher and in publishing.

While in Philadelphia she reconnected with her college sweetheart, Fred Hicks, and they were married in 1965. After the wedding she moved to Long Island to start a family and help Fred realize their vision for the family business, Hicks Nurseries. Together they had three children, Karen, Marianne, and Stephen. Throughout their 39 years of loving marriage, until Fred’s death in 2004, they were a true partnership in every sense of the word, working together to build a family, a business, and to give back to their community.

Marilyn had a love of reading and children, and for 12 years was the lower school librarian at The Green Vale School in Old Brookville. She and Fred enjoyed traveling the world and over her lifetime she travelled to all seven continents, including Antarctica. She believed in giving back to her community. She was active in, and often served on the boards of, many local organizations, including The League of Women Voters, The Parish Resource Center, Planned Parenthood of Nassau County, Westbury Neighborhood House, and Westbury Friends School. She was a grandmother to nine grandchildren and aunt to 10 nieces and nephews and made a priority of bringing all extended families together at her home in Connecticut.

She was happiest surrounded by her family, including her dog Daisy, enjoying a laugh on a warm summer evening on the porch at South Kent. She was a generous, kind, and loving person who openly welcomed people into her life. She died peacefully surrounded by her family on December 27, 2021.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Interfaith Nutrition Network at http://weblink.donorperfect.com/marilynhicks. The INN is a non-profit organization which provides a broad variety of essential services to assist those challenged by hunger, homelessness, and profound poverty on Long Island.

What does the word “details” mean to you at a funeral? Is it the way the guestbook is displayed? Is it how carefully the flowers have been arranged? Is it that nothing seems out of place? We understand there are things that should go unnoticed at a funeral service— that’s why we take pride in taking care of the details, so that you won’t have to notice them, or have to mention them. Some call it “fussy.”

We call it “committed.”

ew for the month of March, the Mineola Memorial Library released a new library scrapbook, a collection of photos, news stories and other documents between the 1950s and the 1960s by Edwin Merara Jr., the library’s circulation clerk.

It can be found on the website under the “local history” menu by clicking “Library Scrapbook: 1950s-1970s.”

Located in the heart of Mineola, this library has held a special place in the hearts of many people over the years, and it continues to do so. Many memories were made throughout the library’s exciting history.

From 1950 through the 1970s, library staff took the time to create scrapbooks documenting events and happenings at the library. Items include photographs, newspaper clippings, letters, and so much more.

The Mineola Library was founded in 1921 by the Mineola Library Association, a volunteer group. The Mineola Library Association operated the library for 26 years, with librarian Charlotta Schmidt working for free during those years. During this time, the library was located in a small building on Mineola Boulevard, just north of Jericho

Stratford Students Make Beats With Recycled Materials Third-graders at Stratford School in Garden City are showing off their creativity by making their own instruments. Students first learned about the different instrument families and how their unique sounds are created. They were then given the opportunity to experiment with different instrument families.

Once the third-graders had an

understanding of different instruments, they were challenged with making their own out of recycled materials they found at home. Some students made their own drums, while others made guitars. The project allowed students to combine innovation with music, making for an enriching, hands-on classroom experience.

Kindergartners at Locust School in Garden City learned about mindfulness, meditation and relaxation through a yoga session. Kindergarten classes gathered in the school’s multipurpose room where they met with a yoga instructor. They learned about respecting each other’s choices, the space around them and their own bodies.

The yoga session kicked off with a variety of exercises including downward dog and

cat poses. Students were able to identify what muscles they were strengthening.

They finished their session by clearing their minds through a resting pose. Students laid on their backs on top of yoga mats and towels to focus on their breathing. The yoga session allowed students to calm their minds and bodies, while learning a new form of exercise.

The Latest From The Garden City Mayor Cosmo Veneziale Landscaper Licensing The Village Board of Trustees enacted a new law to regulate and control commercial landscaping functions which include but are not limited to the weeding, cultivation, seeding, planting, cutting, trimming, pruning and maintenance of grass, shrubs, plants, trees or other foliage within the village. As of March 16, commercial landscapers must register with the village. The village encourages residents who are using commercial landscapers for activities such as lawn maintenance, tree trimming or gardening to inform them that hard copy permit applications are available at Village Hall located at 351 Stewart Ave. Downloadable applications are also available on the village website, www.gardencityny. net, by clicking the “Landscaper Licensing” tab. Applications may be mailed or dropped off at Village Hall from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. The village will not accept incomplete applications. Once the permit is issued, a decal for each permitted landscaping vehicle will be distributed. The fee is $100 for the first vehicle and trailer and $25 for each additional vehicle registered with the village. All permits will expire on Dec. 31 of the year that they were issued.

Contact Village Clerk Karen Altman at 516465-4051 or email at LandscaperLicensing@ gardencityny.net for further information.

Traffic Enforcement Program The Garden City Police Department Traffic Enforcement program continues to yield positive results. During the month of February, 894 tickets were issued for various traffic offenses, including 221 for speed-related offenses, according to Commissioner Kenneth Jackson.

Village Sanitation Regulations Residents are asked to acknowledge the village’s sanitation regulations regarding the placing of recyclables before 7 p.m. prior to the day of pick-up. The recycling bins should be put to the curb the day of recycling collection when weather forecasts predict high winds. Cooperation by residents will be greatly appreciated. It is the mayor’s goal, with the assistance of trustees, to address the quality of life issues our residents desire.

Water Tank The village’s water tank has been offline for nearly three years. Most recently, welding issues have delayed progress. Exterior painting is now complete; interior painting is expected to be completed by the end of March. In early April, it will take approximately 3 to 5 days to fill the tank, which Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi expects to be fully online for the high water season. Once filled, the water in the tank must undergo testing prior to being put into service. Originally constructed in 1933, the 89-year-old tank was last rehabilitated in 1992. Emergency repairs were made to the tank’s roof due to leaks and holes in 2015.

Lead In Water Update In its ongoing investigation of lead in the village’s water, H2M, the village’s water consultant, is preparing a village-wide map of service line inventory based on the village’s own internal engineering records.

This inventory includes galvanized steel, copper, plastic and lead lines. Based on age of construction and other factors, H2M will presume there is a lead service line unless that is superseded by an affirmative

The inventory for the section of service between the water main and customer’s curb valve has been substantially completed, Focus is now on the service material from the curb valves to the residence. If any resident has information regarding the material of this section, forward this information to the village.

Garden City Fire Department Activity Chief Devyn Moody has reported that during February, the department responded to 83 total calls: • Sixty-seven “Signal 8” calls or non-emergency automatic alarms.

• Three general alarms.

• Two extrication calls where volunteers used extrication tools at motor vehicle accidents.

• Eleven mutual aid calls to assist neighboring fire departments.

PSEG Long Island: PSEG Long Island is scheduling to perform storm hardening work through an initiative called Power On. This program will help strengthen 50 miles of distribution lines per

year over the next several years, targeting the most vulnerable circuits across Long Island and the Rockaways. Upcoming work on a circuit includes areas in Garden City.

The project includes: • Upgrading and replacing existing electric wire with more resilient and durable wire.

• Installing new and more durable poles.

The poles will be similar in height and have a stronger base. In addition, PSEG Long Island will actively coordinate the removal of old poles with other utilities.

• Installing shorter cross arms atop some poles to help deflect falling limbs instead of catching them.

The work on this circuit is scheduled to begin on or about the week of March 21.

Crews will be working on about .85 miles of the mainline on the following streets in the Village of Garden City: • Stratford Avenue, between New Hyde Park Road and Hayes Street.

• New Hyde Park Road, between Stratford Avenue and Manor Road.

• Stewart Avenue, between Fernwood Terrace N and New Hyde Park Road.

• Rear property of homes 98-126, 99-121 and 213 on Meadbrook Road between Stratford and Stewart Avenues.

Westbury School District Kicks Off Construction For District-Wide Energy Efficiency Project Westbury Union Free School District, with project partner Energia, announces the start of construction for their district-wide Energy Performance Contract.

The district will generate guaranteed energy savings of at least $395,000 annually, which in conjunction with State Building Aid, and ESSER (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) funds, will be used to fund over $12 million in capital improvements to district facilities at no out-of-pocket cost to taxpayers.

“I believe every child deserves a world-class education experience while enrolled at Westbury Union Free School District, and we know classroom environment can have a big impact on student learning,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tahira A. DuPree Chase.

“By engaging in an Energy Performance Contact, with our partners Energia, we will be able to upgrade our facilities, resulting in more comfortable class-

rooms—all at no additional cost to taxpayers. Additionally, we are adding solar sustainable energy, reducing our carbon footprint, and furthering our positive impact in the world.”

The scope of work for Westbury’s energy performance contract boasts the following benefits for the community: Self-Funding Capital Improvements to District facilities: $7,945,000 ESSER Funds: $4,100,000 Total Project Scope: $12,079,500 Guaranteed energy savings over 18-year term: $8,463,259 Net Positive Cash Flow (with State Aid) over 18-year term: $5,644,415 Total Economic Benefit to School District with No Out-of-Pocket Cost or Tax Increase: $17,723,915 The Westbury Energy Performance Project includes the installation of solar panels at the high school and middle

school. Westbury High School will receive carport solar panels, providing beneficial shelter to the vehicles on campus as well as the energy upside, while Westbury Middle School will have roof-top solar panels installed.

Additional energy conservation measures across six schools and two administration buildings include: air handling equipment, walk-in freezers/coolers, building management upgrades, building envelope improvements (such as weather stripping), and ventilation upgrades.

Energia, an energy-savings financial engineering firm, provides expert guidance and technical oversight for the district throughout the energy performance contract. The U.S. Department of Energy defines energy performance contracting as “a budget-neutral approach to make building improvements that reduce energy and water use and increase operational efficiency.” Westbury schools

can pay for today’s facility upgrades with tomorrow’s energy savings—without tapping into capital budgets.

“We are excited to kick-off construction at Westbury schools,” said Kendra McQuilton, CEO of Energia. “Dr. Chase and the Westbury School Board have been champions of environmental and fiscal responsibility, all with students as the top priority. This project will make significant improvements to classroom comfort while yielding financial upside for years to come.”

In contrast to a bond referendum, energy performance contracts do not require a tax increase or any out-ofpocket costs. The project is fully funded by the guaranteed energy savings that the upgrades will yield over time. If the guaranteed energy savings do not materialize, the energy services company must make the school district whole.
