TOP STORY
North Shore Beaches Cleared Of Litter By Volunteers NATALIA VENTURA nventura@antonmediagroup.com
T
he Town of Oyster Bay held their bi-annual Spring Beach Cleanup and Marine Education Expo on Saturday, April 16, at the town’s north shore beaches. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilwoman Laura Maier and a multitude of volunteers worked together to ensure the facilities are clean by picking up trash at Theodore Roosevelt Beach in Oyster Bay, Stehli Beach in Bayville and Centre Island Beach in Bayville. Removing debris from beaches and parks also helps prevent trash and plastic from getting into the waterways and causing harm. The Town of Oyster Bay has done an extraordinary amount of work in trying to mitigate pollution. Efforts in the harbor, trying to help filter the water nationally with their recently announced kelp growout program. More than 10 football fields worth of kelp is grown to help improve water quality and regulate nitrogen in the waters. The kelp will continue improving the water quality. Removing plastics out of the park and getting garbage and debris out of the way of the water will also inevitably upgrade water quality. The Spring Beach Cleanup and Marine Education Expo was co-sponsored by Friends of the Bay, an environmental protection organization based in Oyster Bay. This group focuses on protecting the quality of the water and ecosystems in the Oyster

Bay and Cold Spring Harbor estuary. Staff and volunteers of Friends of the Bay have been observing the water quality since 1998. “We’re a local marine conservation organization right in town, in towns and squares,” stated Christine Suter from Friends of the Bay. “We do all kinds of things. We do water quality be monitoring during the summer months from May through October,” Suter added, “We do monthly beach cleanups. We host monthly speaker series events. We do all kinds of outreach, communications with other organizations around the island. And today is really important because it’s [not] just about getting out there, connecting with some friends of ours in the industry, but also meeting new people, trying to spread the word about what we’re doing and garnering more
support for the cause of preserving and protecting Oyster Bay.” Volunteers from various local communities removed thousands of pounds of litter from the North Shore beaches during this event while also learning the importance of preserving the environment from representatives of Volunteers for Wildlife, Operation Splash, Bees 2 Seas, Atlantic Marine Conservation Society, The WaterFront Center, Long Island Sound Study, Hempstead Harbor Protection Committee and more. “This great environmental cleanup initiative included volunteers and town employees rolling up their sleeves and working side-by-side to remove litter and debris from the beaches and shoreline along our north shore,” Saladino said. “We thank all the volunteers for pitching in and helping to make a difference in our community.”
Oyster Bay officials honored Senior Girl Scout Shea Salamack of Massapeqa Troop 2069 for her scout project that focused on restoring native plants to Long Island in order to support the native species and improve biodiversity. Salamack’s goal is to return nature to public spaces and to develop a healthy ecosystem on Long Island. “We thank Shea Salamack for selecting the Town of Oyster Bay as a receipt of her Girl Scout project, and commend her dedication to our environment,” Maier said. “Together with Shea and dozens of volunteers, we also clear our shorelines of countless amounts of paper, food, plastics and other trash are discarded on beaches or dumped overboard from recreational and commercial vessels. Together, we’re improving Mother Earth by cleaning up and preserving our marine life and environment.”

Large Flames Tear Through Townhome Complex In Syosset Three residents transported to a hospital
NATALIA VENTURA nventura@antonmediagroup.com
A
fire broke out in Syosset at the Hidden Ridge complex on Wednesday, April 13, at about 10:15 p.m. according to the Nassau County Police Department (NCPD). Flames spread swiftly throughout the complex, damaging at least seven town house units. Roughly 20 fire departments responded to the fire, including four Suffolk County departments. After believing the flames were under control, the fire reignited twice the following morning, requiring the Syosset Fire Department to continue managing the situation. Firefighters’ inability to access unsafe sectors of the building was the cause of this problem. Three residents of the building were transported to a hospital for minor injuries and smoke inhalation. Fire Marshall Uttaro and NCPD Arson Bomb Squad detectives responded to the scene.

According to Nassau Chief Fire Marshal Michael F. Uttaro, the Town of Oyster Bay
Building Department will evaluate the structure of the complex to determine if
it needs to be dismantled. The Red Cross was also on scene, along with the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management. Residents were offered aid in the form of food, clothing and relocation assistance. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The Syosset-Woodbury Chamber of Commerce is in the process of making a substantial donation to the seven families that lost their homes to the devastating fire. Many local businesses have also inquired on how they can help out. Visit www. syossetchamber.com/donate-to-the-hidden-ridge-families-that-lost-their-homes/ in order to make a contribution. All proceeds will go directly to the seven families in need. A donation box has been placed at 1 Hidden Ridge Dr. Families are in need of basic toiletries, clothing, towels, non-perishable food, pet food, etc. Gift cards are also accepted. Any assistance would be welcome. For more information, contact President Russell P. Green of the Syosset-Woodbury Chamber of Commerce at Russell.green@clsecurities.com or call 516-205-2319.

Walsh And LaMarca Announce Return Of The Oyster Bay Market
T
Market to feature local vendors bi-weekly in Oyster Bay
own of Oyster Bay Councilwoman Vicki Walsh and Town Clerk Richard LaMarca recently announced the Oyster Bay Market will return Sundays on a bi-weekly basis, beginning on May 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Town of Oyster Bay Municipal Parking lot on Audrey Avenue in Oyster Bay and operating every other Sunday through Nov. 13. Sponsored by the Oyster Bay Main Street Association and back by popular demand, the mission of the Oyster Bay Market is to improve local food security, teach entrepreneurship skills, support local producers, makers and businesses, while enriching the cultural heritage of the community. “We are excited to welcome the Oyster Bay Market back to our community,” Walsh said. “This food-driven market not only increases access to healthy, locally-produced food items for our families, but it also sup-
ports the small businesses, local artisans, and nonprofit organizations that make our neighborhood so special. I encourage you to visit the market on May 1 and support our hometown vendors.” She added, “Back by popular demand, the Oyster Bay Market will feature various vendors who specialize in sustainable and responsibly sourced food, along with other small businesses and artisans. This event will certainly bring our community together every other Sunday and allow us to celebrate the wonderful cultural heritage of Oyster Bay.” Visit www.oysterbaymainstreet.org for more information. —Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay The Oyster Bay Market is returning on May 1.

Town Unveils ‘Farm To Fairway’ Initiative And Harvests Largest North Shore Kelp Grow Out Kelp to be utilized as natural fertilizer at golf course & parks to reduce chemical dependency
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Laura Maier harvested the last of the Town’s sugar kelp, grown in local waterways to ultimately be dried, composted and used to treat landscaping at the town’s golf course and other town parks facilities. Through initial kelp operations put in place in cooperation with Adelphi, SUNY Stony Brook, and Cornell Cooperative Extension, the town now grows more than 3,000 feet of kelp—the equivalent of 10 football fields—in Harry Tappen Marina, Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park Marina, TOBAY Beach Marina, Oyster Bay Harbor and Cold Spring Harbor Conservation Management Areas. Saladino stated, “In continuing our commitment to the environment, this new Farm to Fairway initiative provides dual benefits as kelp significantly reduces nitrogen in our waterways helping to improve water quality, and decreases our dependency on chemical fertilizers on land. As strange as it may seem, kelp is proven to be incredibly successful as a natural fertilizer as it is 100 percent organic, dense in nutrients and does not net an increase in nitrogen through storm water runoff pollution. When applied to fairways specifically, it helps to increase root growth, improve ap-
our beautiful waterways,” Maier said. “Kelp benefits water quality through the extraction of nitrogen and carbon, which in high levels contributes to the growth of harmful algal blooms which can have detrimental effects on marine life and water quality.” For more information regarding this program and other environmental initiatives, visit www.oysterbaytown.com or call the Department of Environmental Resources at 516-677-5943. —Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay

New York Animal Protection Organization Busts Long Island Poultry Stores For Illegal Sales
ong Island Orchestrating for Nature (LION), Long Island’s leading animal advocacy organization and the leading domestic fowl rescue in the Northeast, is cautioning schools and passersby about the dangers of exploiting animals this Spring season, following an outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) that has wiped out thousands of birds on Long Island farms and major hatcheries supplying Long Island schools. LION has just launched six billboards in Brookhaven, Deer Park, Syosset, Hicksville and Massapequa and will be fly posting throughout NYC reminding passersby that “animal exploitation breeds killer diseases” and urging them to “keep animals off your plate and out of your classroom.” LION’s message is on brand with New York City Mayor Eric Adam’s recent Vegan Fridays initiative as well as prohibitions on raising roosters and waterfowl throughout New York City and much of Long Island, despite hatching projects being commonplace in both localities. LION’s warning comes with valuable alternatives: the promise of Learning Resources Chick Life Cycle Exploration Sets to any Long Island or New York City school or library that pledges to stop hatching fowl and/or a free in-school visit by local anthrozoologist John Di Leonardo to discuss humane treatment of animals. Birds love their families, have complex social bonds and value their lives, yet when used as classroom teaching tools, they’re denied everything that’s natural and important to them. Even before they’re born, chicks need their mothers, who carefully rotate the eggs up to 30 times a day to maintain the proper temperature, moisture, and positioning. Those grown in an incubator can become sick and deformed as they develop, because their needs aren’t

met during incubation. For example, their organs can stick to the sides of the shell if the eggs aren’t rotated properly. If the eggs hatch on weekends when no one is at school, the chicks are left on their own until someone checks on them. Those who do survive are typically sent back to the hatcheries where they came from once the project is complete, where they are often killed upon receipt because the hatcheries do not want pathogens from the school infecting their commercial flocks. This harsh reality is hidden from children who become attached to the developing baby animals. Other birds, who may be spared by well-meaning teachers, are abandoned at public ponds or parks where they are killed by predators or die of exposure while disrupting native and migratory birds and threatening them with disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns that baby fowl can look healthy but still harbor salmonella. Children who hold, cuddle or kiss
them—or even touch things around the birds’ living area—can be exposed to the bacteria. Young children are especially at risk for illness because their immune systems are still developing and they’re more likely than others to put their fingers or other items into their mouth. Fecal tests have revealed that baby fowl used in classrooms sometimes carry E. coli and four different strains of salmonella, one of which is antibiotic-resistant. Any school that conducts duckling or chick hatchings becomes a potential breeding ground for these and other pathogens, including Avian flu or West Nile virus, which domestic fowl can contract. Luckily, many humane non-animal methods can be used instead and are aligned with recommendations from leading science-education organizations and common learning objectives. John Di Leonardo, anthrozoologist and president of Long Island Orchestrating for Nature (LION) says, “Children have
a natural affinity for animals, but hatching projects teach children all the wrong lessons: that ducks, chickens and quails are disposable props to be bullied and exploited in the name of curiosity and be discarded like trash when the experiment is over. Given education’s current focus on protecting its students from deadly diseases like COVID-19 and HPAI, the nation’s bullying epidemic and New York’s law requiring that elementary schools provide instruction in the humane treatment and protection of animals, it’s both vital and timely that a standard of compassion be set and that hatching projects are discontinued in New York schools.” LION has also filmed an undercover investigation documenting Long Island Poultry in Riverhead, Raleigh’s Poultry Farm in Kings Park and The Barn in Deer Park illegally selling days-old chicks and ducklings in quantities less than six, violating a law intended to prevent impulse purchases as well as ensure the health and safety of babies without their mothers. Inside Edition has just covered the bust in Deer Park and footage from Long Island Poultry and Raleigh’s has been sent to the authorities and is available upon request. Birds are exempt from all federal protections, including the Animal Welfare Act and the Humane Slaughter Act, so state laws are the only laws available to protect these sensitive animals. During the investigation, Long Island Poultry in Riverhead revealed that half of their entire shipment of baby birds died during transit this week, underscoring the horrific ordeal these birds experience between farms and retailers. To meet the baby birds at their Riverhead shelter, email john@humanelongisland.org or call 516-592-3722. —Submitted by the Long Island Orchestrating for Nature organization

A Heap Of Broken Images The road to “The Wasteland,” Part I
JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com
“A
pril is the cruelest month.” So begins “The Wasteland,” the T.S. Eliot poem that is also celebrating a centennial this year. Those opening lines stand right there with “Catch-22,” “You can’t go home again,” and “It was the best of the times. It was the worst of times,” as candidates for the most wornout lines in modern literature. It almost wasn’t that way. The poem that Eliot originally composed while resting at a Swiss sanatorium was significantly longer—and with a different opening stanza. First we had a couple of feelers down at Tom’s place, There was old Tom, boiled to the eyes, blind, (Don’t you remember that time after a dance, Top hats and all, we and Silk Hat Harry, And old Tom took us behind, brought out a bottle of fizz, With old Jane, Tom’s wife; and we got Joe to sing “I’m proud of all the Irish blood that’s in me, There’s not a man who can say a word agin me”). The poem should have said: Written by T.S. Eliot, edited by Ezra Pound. The latter, a central figure in Eliot’s life, accepted the 100-page draft from his friend and promptly performed the Caesarian with the “April is the cruelest month,” opening all the way to the memorable “Shantih, shantih, shantih” ending. (To this day, Eliot remains popular in India.) For decades, Pound wondered why his friend was so compliant. Why didn’t Eliot fight those changes? The man was entirely exhausted, before even setting down to write those intense lines. Pound could do as he pleased. The story behind “The Wasteland” is as fascinating as the poem itself. Eliot first met Pound in 1914. The two were introduced by a mutual friend, Conrad Aiken, a prolific poet himself, who was a classmate of Eliot’s at Harvard. The meeting happened and 20th-century literature was set to achieve lift-off. Both men were classicists. Both were mad for poetry, mad for literature. Both were rebellious young men eager to overthrow not just the Romantic movement but also the Decadents of the 1890s.
In 1914, Eliot sailed to Europe with a draft of “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” in his suitcase. While a resident of Italy, Pound had a volume of his own verse self-published. With that book under his arm, the latter was set for the conquest of literary London. The energetic Pound had his memorable take on literature, “news that stays news.” Not that easy. He managed to sell his vision to Harriet Monroe, editor of Poetry magazine. He also had “Prufrock” published in that influential quarterly. Pound took over Eliot’s fledging career. He had his friend’s poetry published in a collection, Catholic Anthology, one that included contributions from not only Pound and Eliot, but from James Joyce, D.H. Lawrence, Amy Lowell, Ford Maddox Ford, and William Carlos Williams. Eliot, the creator of “Prufrock,” was reticent and indecisive himself. His college career was now a decade old. When does he get a real job? By 1915, Eliot had reached a turning point. His Ph.D. dissertation on the English philosopher F.H. Bradley was completed. His professors at Oxford included Bertrand Russell, who was convinced of his young student’s genius. Eliot needed to go back to Harvard to defend his dissertation. His future was laid out before him: the Ph.D., the tenure track at Harvard, marriage to Emily Hale. Didn’t anyone tell him that a professorship would give him time to continue with his true love, poetry? Poetry—along with England, Pound and Virginia Woolf—won out. Eliot stayed in the British Isles. Pound wrote a seven-page letter to Eliot’s father, a St. Louis brick manufacturer, telling the puzzled old man that his son had made the right choice. There was one major hitch. Eliot needed to become a British subject. And how. Enter now Vivien Haigh-Wood. A vivacious woman with an Irish heritage, Haigh-Wood was a product of middle-class England. Her father, to whom she was close, was an accomplished painter. After a four-month courtship, “Tom and Viv” married. A proper New Englander, Eliot had never met a woman as outgoing and sensual as Haigh-Wood. The latter, for her part, could make history. Friends told HaighWood that young Eliot was destined for great things. He just needed a wife to keep him in England legally. To the chagrin of his parents, Eliot never defended his dissertation. The latter, in the middle of World War I, was ready to make the voyage home. HaighWood, convinced of a U-Boat attack, was firm in her refusal. Eliot held a teaching job before finding work as a translator for a London bank. Haig-Wood’s parents
played a role in landing Eliot the job and the man’s father was happy that his dreamy son had a respectable middle-class job. Poetry—and literature—beckoned. Russell was a chief London cultural czar. He gave Eliot books to review in numerous journals. Both Eliot and Pound had nighttime lecturing jobs. Eliot soon began publishing in The Times of London literary supplement. By then, he was an assistant editor at The Egotist, a prelude to obtaining a grant from a benefactor to edit his quarterly, The Criterion, one named for a restaurant that Eliot and Haigh-Wood frequented. For Eliot, it was now off to 16-hour days: Writing in the morning, eight hours at the bank and evenings devoted to teaching and editing. Haigh-Wood continued to help, eventually writing stories that lampooned the Bloomsbury literary crowd. She also suffered from various illness, compounded badly by the death of her father. There were various medicines and various doctors. Haigh-Wood made her own mistakes. Russell had a reputation as an adulterer. Vivien was a flirt. When her husband found out, he had his own affair. Bank job, The Egotist, poetry, essays, teaching, Haigh-Wood’s illness. It all added up to a late 1921 breakdown and a sanatorium in Switzerland. Rest? Try punching out the “poem of the century,” at least according to Lyndall Gordon, an otherwise unsympathetic Eliot biographer. One hundred pages, whipped into shape by Ezra Pound. The latter had to swallow hard. “Complimenti, you -----,” he wrote to his friend. “I am wracked by the seven jealousies.” If Haigh-Wood was the muse and Pound the editor, then a New York attorney, John Quinn, was the financial angel. Quinn arranged for a New York firm, Liveright, to publish the poem in book form. He also saw to it that it won Poetry’s annual best poem prize, an award of $2,000 ($34,000 in today’s money). The reviews came in. Was it a monumental work or a big put on? In Brideshead Revisited, Evelyn Waugh wrote of young men singing the poem from their university dormitories. Eliot himself chanted the poem to a room full of admirers, including Virginia Woolf. Imitators and parodies swelled in numbers. A generation of “wastelanders” was born. (Next week: Deciphering

DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S REPORT
Hempstead Man Convicted In Violent Assault And Robbery Of Housemate Johnny Shorter pistol-whipped female victim, stole money before running from police with loaded firearm
N
assau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly announced the conviction of a Hempstead man who pistol-whipped and robbed a woman of money and other belongings, before running from police with a loaded firearm in October 2020. Johnny Shorter, 42, was convicted Monday after a jury trial before Judge Howard Sturim of two counts of first-degree burglary (a B violent felony), two counts of first-degree robbery (a B violent felony), two counts of second-degree assault (a D violent felony), two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (a C violent felony), third-degree criminal possession of a weapon (a D violent felony) and two counts of menacing a police officer (a D violent felony). Shorter was found not guilty of a single count of criminal obstruction of breathing (an A misdemeanor). The trial began on April 4. The jury
deliberated for two hours before delivering their verdict. The defendant is due back in court on May 18. Based on the defendant’s criminal history, he faces a potential maximum sentence of up to 125 years to life in prison. “The victim in this case awoke that morning and entered a nightmare, as this defendant burst into her locked room, robbed and violently pistol-whipped her, and stuck a loaded firearm in her mouth,” Donnelly said. “In the midst of this truly terrifying ordeal, the victim had the courage and foresight to lure the defendant outside, where neighbors could hear the attack and call police, who ultimately apprehended this dangerous individual.” Donnelly said, according to the charges, on Oct. 11, 2020, at approximately 11 a.m. in a Hempstead home where the defendant was renting a room, the defendant entered the
locked bedroom of his sleeping victim and held her at gunpoint, demanding money that he claimed the victim had stolen from him. The defendant stole credit cards, cash and other items from the victim’s purse. He then shoved the barrel of the loaded gun into her mouth, pistol-whipped her and continued demanding money. In an effort to get help, the victim told Shorter that she had money in her car and convinced the defendant to leave the home. Once outside, a nearby neighbor heard the incident and called the police. The defendant ran from the scene, gun still
in his hand, with police in pursuit. During the chase, the defendant pointed his firearm at both officers. Shorter shot himself in the leg with the handgun before being apprehended by officers. Shorter was arrested by detectives of the Hempstead Police Department and Nassau County Police Department on Oct. 11, 2020. The case is being prosecuted by Senior Litigation Counsels Tracy Keeton and Nicole Aloise of the Homicide Bureau. The defendant is represented by Don Rollock, Esq. —Submitted by the office of the Nassau District Attorney

Manganos’ Days Of Freedom To End In June Former county executive, wife to serve prison time
FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com
O
n June 13, former Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano, 60, will report to a federal prison assigned by the Federal Bureau of Prisons to begin a 144 month (12 year) term after being sentenced by U.S. District Judge Joan Azrack on April 14. Wife Linda, 59, received a 15-month sentence and must report to prison on June 27. The Manganos, of Bethpage, had been convicted in the Eastern District of New York on March 8, 2019 after a jury trial. The pandemic, as well as an endless series of defense motions and other court proceedings, delayed sentencing for 37 months. The impending incarceration closes the door on a once promising political career for Mangano, who closely upset two-term County Executive Thomas Suozzi in 2009 to step up from the county legislature. The Hofstra University alum served from Jan. 1, 2010 to Dec. 31, 2017, handily defeating Suozzi in a rematch in 2013. Under indictment during the 2017 election season, and reportedly out of favor with the Nassau County Republican establishment, Mangano chose not to seek a third term. There was speculation that he could mount an independent bid for reelection, or run under his own creation, the Tax Revolt Party. It twice provided him a second line on the ballot. The pol was convicted of multiple counts of accepting bribes and kickbacks in exchange for official government action, and for conspiracy to obstruct justice. He was also ordered to pay a $20,000 fine. His wife was convicted of conspiracy to obstruct justice, obstruction of justice and making false statements to FBI agents in connection with her employment by 63-year-old Long Island restaurateur Harendra Singh. Singh was at the center of the original federal indictments, unsealed on Oct. 20, 2016, and also naming former Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto. The government’s case centered on the relationship between the three accused and Singh, of Laurel Hollow. Singh, who held concessions at the Town of Oyster Bay Golf Course and two town beaches, was accused of bribing the then-elected

During his trial, Mangano maintained that he was friends with Singh, did not keep “receipts” of Singh’s gifts, and paid for his share of dinners and vacations. (U,S. Attorney’s Office) officials in exchange for loan guarantees in Oyster Bay, as well as contracts with the county government. He pleaded guilty to bribery charges and became a prosecution witness, The original indictment charged Ed Mangano and Venditto with conspiracy to commit federal program bribery and honest services fraud. Linda Mangano reportedly was given a “no-show” job by
Singh at his Water’s Edge restaurant in Long Island City at her husband’s behest. Between April 2010 and August 2014, the government claimed, she earned $450,000. In addition, the government charged the accused and their families of receiving free meals at Singh’s numerous eateries, free limousine rides, vacations paid by Singh and even, in the case of Mangano’s son, a watch that cost Singh more than $7,000. According to a press release, “Edward and Linda Mangano conspired to obstruct a federal grand jury investigation when they schemed with Singh to fabricate examples of work never performed by Linda Mangano at the Water’s Edge, in an attempt to thwart a grand jury investigation. On May 20, 2015 and May 22, 2015, Linda Mangano made false statements to the FBI and federal prosecutors about the work she claimed to have performed for Singh.” The government claimed that shortly after Mangano assumed office in 2010, he pressured Venditto to “...help Singh obtain financing in order to make required capital improvements at [Tobay] Beach and The Woodlands at the [Town of Oyster Bay Golf Course], by authorizing the [town] to indirectly guarantee four bank loans totaling approximately $20 million. Mangano used his official
position to ensure that [Oyster Bay] backed the loans.” Singh, according to court documents, was struggling financially and having trouble making the capital improvements mandated by the terms of his concessions. This loan arrangement reportedly violated Article VIII of the New York State Constitution forbidding municipalities and school districts from giving loans to private businesses. A statement in advance of the sentencing by a lawyer for the loan company, Phoenix Holdings, noted that Phoenix loaned Singh about $13.873 million, of which he paid back only $3.243 million. Phoenix has sued the Town of Oyster Bay to recover some of the loans. That case is still pending. All three originally pleaded not guilty. On May 31, 2018, Judge Azrack declared a mistrial in the government case against the Bethpage couple after the jury foreman stated that he could no longer carry out his duties and asked to be excused. Reportedly, the jury was deadlocked over the charges against the couple. Less than 10 months later, after a second jury trial, the Manganos were convicted of several charges. Venditto was cleared of similar charges by a jury on May 24, 2018. He was later convicted under state corruption charges, though he did not serve jail time. The longtime Massapequa resident died in March 2020. According to a transcript of the trial obtained by Anton Media Group, Singh said on the witness stand, “I bribed Ed Mangano and he did favors for me.” The April 14 sentences were officially announced by Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and Michael J. Driscoll, Assistant Director-in-Charge, FBI, New York Field Office. “Edward Mangano, as county executive, gave Nassau residents widespread corruption and dishonesty instead of truth and integrity. Linda Mangano took affirmative steps to mislead a federal investigation to keep her husband in power and to maintain their way of life,” Peace stated. “Today’s sentence should send a strong, unambiguous message to any public official willing to place their personal interest above the public’s, and to those inner circle members who corruptly attempt to protect them from prosecution: my office will employ all resources at its disposal to investigate, prosecute and convict you in order to restore the public’s faith in our elected officials.”

Emotional Attunement In Relationships Emotional attunement involves being responsive to the emotional state of our partner. For example, if we are attuned, we know when our partner is upset, angry or excited. In addition, attunement involves the ability to effectively engage with our partner when in these states. An attuned person would know when to lend a shoulder for their partner to cry on or when to walk away, giving them much needed space. Relationship researcher Dr. John Gottman notes that couples can experience loneliness within their relationships when they are not attuned to one another. In such cases, despite the presence of your partner, you may still feel sad and unheard, which can create distance between you two. Below are a few tips to enhance emotional attunement, which can lead to greater relationship satisfaction and success.

Ask For Engagement
It is important for the person who needs support from their partner to ask for it. Don’t make assumptions about your partner, such as “They don’t want to help me” or “They should already know what I need.” It is possible that your partner is going through something themselves and is missing your attempts to engage with them. Or, they simply may not know how to best help you. Give your partner the
When you and your partner engage in conversation about something that is upsetting or serious, make sure that you create a safe space. You both want to know what you can care share without being judged or belittled and at a time in which you have limited outside distractions. Scheduling time to sit down and actively listen to one another is a must.
Express Empathy
It is important for partners to express empathy for one another, meaning that they can put themselves in their partner’s shoes to better understand what their partner is going through. By envisioning your partner’s experiences, you get a better sense of what they are feeling and/or thinking, enabling you to

pandemic period, released on March 31, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a dramatic increase in emotional and psychological trauma in kids and teens. More than a third of high school students said they experienced poor mental health during the pandemic, with 44 percent reporting they felt “persistently sad or hopeless.” One in five considered suicide, and nearly 10 percent made a suicide attempt. The CDC also reported that, during the first seven months of lockdown, hospitals experienced a 24 percent rise in mental-health-related emergency
visits for children aged 5 to 11, and a 31 percent increase for those aged 12 to 17. Sadly, these statistics came as no surprise to the team of clinicians at North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center (the Guidance Center). From the early days of the pandemic, we have been flooded with calls from hospitals, emergency rooms, urgent care centers, parents, schools and others desperate for help as they saw those statistics come to life. At the guidance center, we’ve provided therapy to children— some as young as three years old—who are experiencing deep grief from the loss of a parent or other loved one. Many are grieving a loss of hope and confidence about their futures. Others are in dire financial situations born of pandemic job loss. All lost fundamental things that we used to take for granted: the ability to be with friends, go to school, celebrate joyous occasions, participate in extracurricular activities and have confidence that we were safe in the world. Even if the pandemic disappeared tomorrow, the mental health effects would not disappear with it. Unfortunately, we

cannot expect our children to simply get over what has been such a profoundly difficult, scary and uncertain time. Despite these gloomy predictions, parents need not succumb to hopelessness. You have a vital role to play, and it’s one that can make all the difference in helping your children survive and even thrive despite the challenges of the past two years. First, be on the lookout for signs of emotional distress. Is your child or teen isolating themselves, even though they are allowed to be with others? Have their sleeping or eating patterns changed? Have their grades dropped dramatically? Have they lost interest in the things that used to make them happy? Are they more irritable than usual? Have they turned to substances to improve or numb their moods? Don’t assume that they will tell you they’re struggling. Ask them how they are feeling. Assure them that it’s normal to be feeling sad, scared and even angry in the face of all they’ve experienced. And tell them there is absolutely no shame in asking for professional help. Tell them, it’s OK not to be OK.

Responding To The Crisis In Children’s Mental Health As of this writing, while COVID-19 cases have been inching up, most experts say that we have moved into a new phase of the pandemic, where the disease, while still dangerous, is less deadly than previous strains. In addition, preventative measures and treatments have advanced far beyond the early days of the crisis, when so little was known. Certainly, that is news we’ve all been hoping to hear for more than two years, but there is another crisis that shows no signs of abating: the epidemic of mental health issues spurred by longterm social isolation, anxiety, illness, financial insecurity and other challenges. While all of us have been impacted, the reality is that children, teens and young adults have experienced the losses surrounding COVID-19 in deep and potentially long-lasting ways. Numerous studies have reported sharp increases in rates of depression, anxiety, loneliness and suicide attempts. In addition, the number of U.S. children who have a lost a parent or other caregiver to COVID-19 is estimated to exceed 200,000. In a first-of-its-kind study of youth mental health during the

New Law to Combat Catalytic Converter Thefts Catalytic converter thefts have been on the rise in Nassau County and across the country due to the value of the metals within the devices and the ease with which a thief can remove one. If a catalytic converter is stolen from your car, it may cost thousands of dollars to replace the part and repair the damage. Moreover, due to supply chain issues, it may take a considerable period of time to complete the repairs. Recently, I joined with my colleagues and Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder to introduce new legislation that will preclude scrap metal
MAJORITY REPORT Richard J. Nicolello
dealers in Nassau County from purchasing catalytic converters unless the seller establishes that they legally acquired the device.
The scrap metal dealers will be required to keep records regarding purchases, which must be made available to NCPD and the Department of Consumer Affairs, allowing them to inspect those records to flag any illegal activity and go after the perpetrator. The cost to replace a catalytic converter can be anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 and experienced thieves can crawl under your car, cut out the catalytic converter, and be gone in under two minutes. The car will still run without a catalytic converter, but it will not be able to pass a yearly inspection. What thieves are really after
are precious metals found in catalytic converters such as platinum, palladium, or rhodium, which make them valuable to scrap metal businesses and more prone to theft. To further help strengthen its effectiveness the Legislative Majority is also contacting government in Suffolk County and NYC to coordinate a region-wide approach to combat these thefts. Having unified support in the surrounding area will further deter thieves since it will make it more difficult for them to profit from these illegal acts. The bill will go through the required legislative committees
and the full legislature in May, where it is expected to pass and be signed into law by County Executive Bruce Blakeman. Always remember, if you “see something, say something.” Should you notice a suspicious person or vehicle in your neighborhood or when you are out and about, dial 911 and be ready to provide the police with as much information as possible. License plate numbers are extremely valuable for the police if you can capture that information. —Nicolello is the presiding officer of the Nassau County Legislature.
Twenty Seven Months Later—Why Is The New York MTA 20-Year Capital Needs Plan Still Missing? What ever happened to the promised New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority 2020-40 20-Year Long Range Capital Needs Plan? Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and past MTA Chairman Pat Foye pledged that it would be released by December 2019. It is now 27 months late. Will New York State Governor Kathy Hochul and New York MTA Chairman Janno Lieber finally make this critical transportation planning document public? The plan documents how much money and years or decades will be required before each MTA operating agency, including New York City Transit bus, subway, Staten Island Railway, MTA bus, Long Island Rail Road and Metro North Rail Road, have reached a state of good repair. Categories for each agency include such assets as existing bus, subway and commuter rail fleet, stations including elevators to meet Americans with Disabilities Act and escalators, track including switches, signals and interlockings,

communications, line structures, painting, protective netting on elevated structures and bridges, line equipment including tunnel lighting and pump rooms, traction power, power substations, yards and shops and supervisory vehicles. It is supposed to be the basis for the justification of New York MTA Five-Year Capital Plans prior to their release. In this case, the $51 billion 2020-24 Five-Year Capital Plan was released and adopted before anyone could receive
and review the updated 20-Year Capital Needs Plan. The new 2020-40 20-Year Plan should update the previous 2014-34 20-Year Plan. This is inconsistent with both former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio’s respective promises to conduct the most open and transparent administrations in the history of state and municipal government. Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams have made similar promises. This was to include independent authorities such as the MTA. Taxpayers, commuters, transit advocates, elected officials and transit reporters should not have had to wait more than two years before being able to read such an important transportation planning document. Advocates for various potential transportation system expansion projects will know by omission from this document that the MTA has no intention of advancing their project.

tating that today’s headlines about Russia’s war on Ukraine were written some 80 years ago as a grim legacy of World War II, the Museum of American Armor, the Long Island Living History Association (LILHA) and Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation & Museums will conduct a joint educational field program that will allow thousands of Long Island high school students to strengthen their understanding of World War II and the shadow it continues to cast nearly a century later. “There has been a deliberate reduction in class time assigned to teaching history, and World War II in particular,” Lawrence Kadish, president and founder of the museum said, “As a result, many students have no context for what the world is seeing in Ukraine and how Putin is repeating Hitler’s playbook almost to the letter. We need to appreciate that today’s headlines were written by history and this program seeks to address that.” The event will be held on Friday, May 13. Pre-registration is now open to social studies classes across Long Island. The program integrates classroom curriculum with operational armor, military field tactics, and mock small arms in open woods reminiscent of World War II France.

Long Island Cares Market Event For Veterans T own of Oyster Bay Councilwoman Vicki Walsh teamed up with Contour Mortgage to provide personal-care items to veterans. Every Tuesday is Military Appreciation Tuesday at all of Long Island Cares’ six satellite locations. Only veterans are permitted to obtain food (pet food too), personal-care items and household products on Tuesdays. Long Island Cares is the only Long Island food bank that operates satellite locations dedicated to food distribution, job training, nutrition education and advocacy to help identify the causes and cures for food insecurity. According to Walsh, this will become a twice-monthly event. “This is a great opportunity for me to see what I can do for our veterans,” she said. “It’s all about community, and this is a great way to bring community together. At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about.” Walsh and Brian Halloran of Contour Mortgage handed out bags of personal-care items to about a dozen veterans who are weekly regulars at Long Island Cares’ Harry Chapin Food Bank Essential Market. Veterans also picked up their weekly allotment of food, which is a three-day supply for regulars, and a five-day supply for first-timers. “We like to give back to the community,”
Halloran said. “We do lots of work with veterans. We want to do whatever we can to support them.” “Councilwoman Walsh is a champion for all that she serves,’ Long Island Cares Chief Programmer, Dr. Jessica Rosati said. “Introducing Contour Mortgage to support Long Island Cares’ Veterans programs has been a true benefit to the many families frequenting the Essential Market. We are grateful for the support, and excited for the potential this new relationship will evolve into.” Veteran Lou Sarrica of Plainview served in the U.S. Army and is a regular at the Essential Market. “It’s unbelievable here,” Sarrica said. “I like that they’re charitable at the time we need it most. To have something like this is heartwarming, that we’re being taken care of. It means a lot because I don’t have any income.” Veteran Reggie Taylor of Roosevelt served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam and is also a regular at the Essential Market. “This helps make ends meet,” Taylor explained. “Because of Long Island Cares I can make a couple of ends meet where I couldn’t before.” Also, at all Long Island Cares’ six satellite locations is a program called VetsWork,

Nothing But The Best For Fido Local business distributes new line of dog treats

n less than one month, the rapid success of the newly launched dog treat business, Bark and Bones Bakery, has curious dog parents taking notice. “I was looking at a variety of other things to do, to pivot into something else, another career direction,” William Ward, a 35-year newspaper industry professional said in response to the COVID pandemic over the past two years. “Friends of mine and neighbors were all coming home with new dogs, some adopting, some fostering,” Ward said. “My wife and I took to hiking during COVID; we were passing people on the trails with their dogs.” He could see that pet ownership, particularly dogs was a growing trend and the perfect avenue for a new business. “I’ve always had this great love for dogs; I grew up with dogs,” Ward said. He started chatting with other dog owners, asking everyone he met about the treats that they offered to their dogs. Many of the answers he heard were less planned than he thought, many people simply said the treats they offered were simply selected based on a mindless shopping routine or that the treats were a popular brand. He learned that
many did not know or understand the ingredients that are in some popular dog treats. He would ask other dog parents what their dog liked, what their dog did not like, whether their dog had allergies to certain ingredients. He began reading the labels on some of the popular treats in the pet aisle at the stores. What he learned was that many of the treats are loaded with preservatives. “I knew there had to be something better for dogs than that,” Ward said. He began researching ingredients and searching for a reputable baker across the whole country. He found one, Pound Bakery/Pedigree Ovens of Harvard, IL, a baker who provides good quality treats that are not loaded with preservatives and are offered at a reasonable price. Bark and Bones Bakery offers high quality treats made with natural, healthy ingredients like coconut oil, flaxseed, whole wheat flour with flavors like roast duck, cheddar, bacon, pork and apple. “We treat our dogs like they are members of the family,” Ward said. “It was important to me to source the best possible product with high-quality ingredients and no artificial preservatives.” The treats are all sourced and made in the U.S.A., something that is increasingly important to dog parents. “I stand behind this product and I am proud of the ingredient choices,” Ward said.
CURRENT FLAVORS AVAILABLE ARE:
· Chicken & Veggie Chewies · Granola Bars · Cheese & Bacon Chewies · Salmon & Coconut Ducks · Apple Crunch Hearts: Low Fat! · Peanut Butter & Quinoa: Grain Free · Pork & Apple Ducks · Peanut Butter Patties · Cheddar Bagels · Pizza Bones · Mini Cheddar Bones · Roast Duck: Grain-Free A 12 oz. bag retails for $12. Seasonal flavors are queue up including a barbeque treat for summertime and a pumpkin flavored treat for autumn. The packages contain caloric intake, ingredients and serving portion suggestions based on the weight of the dog. “This is great especially if your dog has allergies,” Ward said. “We have treat designed for small dogs, big dogs, young dogs and older dogs, like soft or crunchy treats.” The treats are available as single purchases, but bundles and subscriptions are available. “Many our of initial customers are already reordering,” Ward said. “The pet is always right; if your dog doesn’t like our treats, we will offer you another treat or give you your money back. The immediate success has given Ward some big plans and ambitious ideas for growing the business. Expect to see new products and marketing features from this brand soon.

Tale Of A Limoges Casserole Dish
A
few days ago my longtime friend Mary phoned to ask if I could return the bundt pan I had borrowed. After searching through my memory a minute, I replied that I had borrowed it a few years ago and she had told me she did not want it back. Mary said she had just been cleaning out her closet and thought about it and thought she might want to use it. I told her I might have donated it somewhere or perhaps my daughter had it. This phone call inspired me to climb on a chair and search in one of my uppermost shelves. No bundt pan. But I did find a beautiful casserole dish that I had not thought about in many years. I checked with my daughter and she still had the bundt pan, so I called Mary back and agreed to get it from my daughter and return it to her. However, this discovery of the casserole dish caused me to examine it more closely and note that it was a Theodore Haussman Limoges China dish. Further investigation by computer search told me I had a china casserole dish

She thought my china dish was one of two we had found in a room we were cleaning out at our church parish center a few years ago. We were told to clear everything and leave nothing. I had taken one and she had taken the other. A true account written by Eleanor Krebs, of Farmingdale.

The Baking Magic Of Pancakes
Bisquick serves up some mighty good pancakes with very few ingredients. They are easy to make if you simply follow directions on the box. But some guidance can go a long way.
Sour Cream, Egg Whites & Ricotta
S
o the question becomes what makes pancakes great? And how do you make them so? These questions become salient because virtually everyone loves pancakes for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Time seems irrelevant when it comes to eating great pancakes. Researching these questions made me very hungry. But the real problem became how to select the best information when so much is available. Personal
taste, of course, played a big part in settling on an answer. And there do appear to be certain rules and procedures that are essential to making the best pancakes. For example, great pancakes appear to largely depend on simplicity, lots of butter, the best maple syrup you can find, the right type of cooking tool, and access to the best ingredients. Box pancakes are less appealing but I must say that some are better than others. For example,
Some Helpful Pancake Tips • Buttermilk is critical to the flavor and rise of these pancakes. Or you can add sour cream, plain yogurt, whipped egg whites, or even more simply add 1 Tbsp of lemon juice to 2 cups of milk and let sit for 10 minutes. • Don’t over-mix the batter. Some say this is the secret to great pancakes. Just remember that lumpy is good. They will turn out more fluffy and tender. • Use butter or vegetable oil to grease your pan. • And ideally your pan should be a cast iron skillet or a good heavy non-stick one. The reasons for this are twofold: cast iron will make nice golden brown pancakes: and, you will not have to grease your pan more than once. Mark Bittman swears by his recipe below which has all the right elements and more. He eliminates buttermilk but he adds sour cream plus ricotta and lemon juice. It’s a divine combination. But keep in mind that simplicity and cost may call for you to consider Bisquick with buttermilk or milk with lemon juice. Have fun trying your own recipe.
Pancakes, Egg Whites & Ricotta (Adapted from Mark Bittman’s delicious recipe in his now defunct New York Times food column) Serves 4 Ingredients 1 cup ricotta or cottage cheese 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt 3 eggs, separated ½ tsp baking soda 1 cup all-purpose flour dash of salt 1 Tbsp sugar 2 Tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp grated lemon zest Butter or grapeseed or other neutral oil as needed 1. Beat together the ricotta or cottage cheese, sour cream or yogurt and egg yolks. Combine baking soda, flour, salt and sugar. Separately beat egg whites until fairly stiff but not dry. 2. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat while you finish batter. Stir flour mixture into cheese mixture, blending well but not beating. Stir in lemon juice and zest, then gently fold in beaten egg whites. 3. Add about 1 tablespoon butter or oil to griddle or skillet. When it is hot, but not scalding, add batter by the heaping tablespoon, making sure to include some egg white in each spoonful. Cook until lightly browned on bottom, 3 to 5 minutes, then turn and cook second side. Serve immediately. Wow! This delicious recipe seems to produce the great pancakes we’ve been seeking! Enjoy!

hef Jen Peters has made it possible for those with gluten intolerance to safely indulge in delicious homemade bread, pasta and pancakes; battered chicken, fish and tempura; and even vanilla bean cake using her artisan gluten-free flour blends. Peters was a protégé of Chef Bruno Marti (the beloved godfather of fine dining cuisine in Canada) and worked and trained in Michelin-starred restaurants, where she created culinary masterpieces for others to enjoy even as she suffered the horrible effects of Celiac disease that went undiagnosed for 20 years. With the answer she finally needed, she began researching and creating a line of gluten-free, all-purpose baking blends that would allow her to continue making popular kitchen staples like
Chef Hamid Salimian, CEO Matthew Clayton and Chef Jen Peters bread, pasta and pastries without sacrificing taste or texture, or settling for low-quality alternatives. In 2012, Peters finally perfected her recipe and founded Nextjen Gluten-Free with her partner (and husband), Chef Hamid Salimian, who has built a reputation as a “chef’s chef,” winning the respect
of his peers for his eye for detail, insistence on quality, and his commitment to mentoring the next generation of chefs. As the co-founder of the company, Salimian is also its food photographer. He acts as a culinary consultant for national brands such as Earls Kitchen + Bar, and shares his knowledge and expertise with a new generation of chefs as an instructor in the VCC Culinary Arts program. In 2021, the husband and wife duo teamed up with Matthew Clayton and rebranded the company as The Good Flour Company. Today, their products are used in more than 70 restaurants nationwide and are available for retail purchase online. The Good Flour Company’s gluten-free products are also GMO-free, allergen free and contain ingredients with the highest nutritional content available. Visit www.goodflour.co for more information.

Kent studied business and marketing at the University of Southern California (USC), but it was during his senior year of college in 1991 that he became truly hooked on the culinary industry. He immediately started two successful catering businesses “For Starters Catering” focused on appetizers and tapas, and “Bacchus Wine and Catering,” adding wine Pistachios pairing to the mix. Upon graduation, Kent applied and was accepted to the prestigious culinary school, Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in New York, where he studied technical skills alongside two award-winning chefs, Charlie Palmer at Aureole and Joachim Splichal at Patina. Shortly after graduating with honors from the CIA in 1996, Kent was

While there, he attended California State University Long Beach, where he graduated Cum Laude with a degree in Food Science. Kent then went to work for the United States Department of Defense in Massachusetts and served as their first ever research chef focusing on all-natural product development where he was able to use his knowledge from his culinary degree along with his food science degree. This made him an ideal candidate in regards to developing new field rations for the U.S. military. Kent’s work in the military industry led him to create award-winning products for both German and Canadian armed forces. In 2002, when he returned home to California after his time spent abroad, Kent was able to take over as head of the research and development team with “Two Chefs on a Roll,” an all-natural private label food manufacturer. Additionally, for many years Kent developed all-natural refrigerated and frozen products for national retailers including Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Costco and many others. In 2004, Kent made a conscious decision to move back east when he was hired as a private chef by a high-profile,

In 2007, Kent returned west and created the first mobile, wood-fired pizza business in Los Angeles, “Farmer’s Market Pizza.” His pizza passion and expertise led him to open the critically-acclaimed “Olio Wood Fired Pizzeria” in downtown Los Angeles’s
beloved Grand Central Market in 2010. Olio has been ranked as one of the “Top-10 Destination Worthy Pizzas” by Zagat. Taking pizza to the next level, Kent and his co-founders launched Blaze Pizza and by 2015, Blaze Pizza had become the fastest-growing chain of restaurants in history. He continues to work with Blaze Pizza as their chief culinary officer. Kent is a pizza maven with a passion for saving the planet. During the pandemic,

CALL BEFORE YOU DIG...YA’ DIG
ational Safe Digging Month has begun and PSEG Long Island takes the occasion to remind customers, contractors and excavators to always call 811 before digging to ensure underground pipelines, conduits, wires and cables are properly marked out. Every digging project, even a small project like planting a tree or building a deck, requires a call to 811. It’s the law. The call is free and the mark-out service is free. The call must be made whether the job is being performed by a professional or a do-it-yourselfer. Striking an underground electrical line can cause serious injury and outages, and result in repair costs and fines. A free call to 811 in the service area automatically connects the caller to the local New York one-call center, which collects information about digging projects. The one-call center then provides the information to the utility companies, which send representatives to mark the locations of nearby underground lines with flags, paint or both. • Calling 811 before digging reduces the chances of damaging an underground line to less than one percent. • Underground lines are everywhere, even on private properties. These facilities can be easily damaged if dug into, with the potential to cause serious injuries. Digging into these lines can also disrupt vital utility services, resulting in costly delays, expensive repairs
and environmental or property damage. • Whether the job is a major home improvement project or something as simple as a fence or mailbox post, a call to 811 must be placed beforehand to determine where it’s safe to dig. • Call 811 at least two business days before the commencement of each job to have underground pipes, wires and equipment located. Each facility owner must respond by providing the excavator with a positive confirmation indicating that marks are in place where utility lines are buried or that there are no existing facilities in the area of the proposed work. • Be sure to wait until all of the utilities have responded. Don’t dig until lines have been marked or you have received confirmation that the area is clear of facilities. • Property owners must maintain and respect the marks. Always hand dig within two feet of marked lines to find the existing facilities before using mechanized equipment. • If gas lines are damaged or there is a gas smell when excavating, call 911 immediately from a safe area. Calling before you dig is more than a good idea−it’s the law. Additional information, including a booklet on safe excavating practices and the protection of underground facilities, can be found on the PSEG Long Island website (www.psegliny.com). —PSEG Long Island

Outdoor 1.5-Mile Stations of the Cross Walking Service A Success
C
atholic Cemeteries of Long Island is welcomed back its annual tradition of in-person walking of the Stations of the Cross prayer services at the Cemetery of the Holy Rood in Westbury on one of the most solemn days of the Christian calendar during the 2022 Lenten season. One of the largest attended events for Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island, Catholic faithful across Long Island were invited to return and take part in the tradition of following a 1.5-mile walking route throughout Holy Rood to commemorate Christ’s redemptive sacrifice through 14 stations each year on Good Friday, which was April 15 this year. Each station was signified by a different cross or sculpture at the cemetery. Deacons from Catholic Cemeteries of Long Island assisted in leading the service for attendees. The Stations of the Cross walking services were canceled each of the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, hundreds took part in the Good Friday services. Faithful also experienced Holy Rood’s Stations of the Cross on their own with self-directed tours.

Joan Osborne’s Fave Poets BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO
W
dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com
hen the pandemic hit the giant existential pause button for the world back in March 2020, Joan Osborne was in the middle of mixing and mastering what would become her 10th studio album, Trouble and Strife, which was released in fall of that year. But because of raging pandemic numbers and a lack of live touring, the Brooklyn resident was forced to hunker down with her daughter. It was that down time that found Osborne straightening up her household and in the process, unearthing a treasure trove of live in-studio recordings that she might not have otherwise found. The end result was Radio Waves, a 13-song album of hand-picked numbers culled from 100-plus radio station appearances over a 25-year career that was released on her Womanly Hips Records imprint back in February. For Osborne, it was a moment of kismet she might have otherwise overlooked during the pre-pandemic times. “[During my extended stay at home], I did an awful lot of cleaning,” the Kentucky native shared. “That is how I discovered all this material I had in taped-up boxes that I had totally forgotten about which became the Radio Waves release. I found all of this stuff and normally, if I was in my busy pattern, I might have looked at it, taped the box up again, shoved it back in the closet and not given it a second thought. Because I had the time, I was able to listen through a lot of this stuff and give it the attention it deserved.” While Osborne admits she came across hundreds of performances and wanted to avoid “...doing some gigantic dump of all this material because it’s overwhelming for some people,” the baker’s dozen worth of cuts is a solid cross-section of covers and original material. The oldest performance is a 1995 reading of her “Saint Teresa” that Osborne did at KCRW while the most recent inclusion is a trio of 2012 gems, two of which find her delving into the canons of Bill Withers (“Same Love That Made Me Laugh”) and Dave Mason (“Only You and I Know”) recorded during a visit to the Sirius XM channel The Loft. Other highlights include a stripped-down 2005 demo of the American Songbook standout “Dream a Little Dream” and a 2002 KROQ cover of the Sly & the Family Stone gem “Everybody Is a Star” featuring keyboardist Ivan Neville and Spin Doctors drummer Aaron Comess. Throughout it all, Osborne’s warm and soulful phrasing fits hand-in-glove whether she’s tucking into a lesser-known Toshi Reagon tune (“Real Love”) or taking on a Stevie Wonder standard (“Love’s In Need of Love Today”). It all wound up being a rich experience for Osborne, as she balances going on college tours with her daughter and providing a stop-gap for fans while working on a new collection of original material. “Most of my life’s work has disappeared without a trace,” she said. “I’ve made 10+ studio albums, but the vast majority of the songs I’ve sung hundreds and thousands of times over decades of touring across the globe, has never been recorded.” And while she’s navigating the current landscape of touring shaped by shaky bookings dictated by fluctuating COVID-19 numbers, Osborne stopped long enough to share with Long Island Weekly the inspiration poetry provides for her own music and a handful of laureates who helped shape her craft.

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY
Walt Whitman (May 31, 1819 to March 26, 1892) “He was really able to synthesize this sense of the world as a sacred place and of human beings being a part of this sacred place. I think he lived in a time when people thought of the sacred or religious as something outside of and above humanity and that [the sacred or religious Walt Whitman was something] humanity (Public domain) needed to strive to be like. But he really had this sense that we are part of nature and part of the natural world. We’re part of this spiritual entity that is part of the whole world and the whole universe. That’s a Buddhist concept, but he was writing at a time when people were not really thinking like that. [I love] that and his mastery of language and ability to transport you to these places and give you this sense of walking down the street and [feel like] you’re part of this thriving beauty of humanity itself. That would be why I love him so much.”
Edna St. Vincent Millay (February 22, 1892 to October 19, 1950) “I think there is just this delicacy of language that she has—seizing these very delicate moments that would otherwise just pass you or other people by and be ignored. She has a way to really capture them. e.e. Cummings is another one Edna St. that’s brilliant at that. Vincent Millay Just understanding these (Photo by Carl van delicate, beautiful moments Vechten/Public domain) that would fly past you, but both these poets have a way of capturing them.”
Alan Ginsberg (June 3, 1926 to April 5, 1997) “I love the Beats and Alan Ginsberg. I think you can critique them as being in love with their own sort of vision of this gritty, urban existence and they really elevated it in a way that was super romantic, which I think is true. But I think they were also able to see in these sort of lower places what was beautiful and vibrant about that. I appreciate Alan Ginsberg as a poet.”

Maggie McMahon is a senior girls lacrosse player at Mineola High School. According to Mineola High School faculty, she is an outstanding young woman and one of the best players on Long Island.

Mineola High School’s Maggie McMahon supporting them from the sidelines,” McMahon said. “I figured it was my shot on my field.” Lacrosse is a sport, McMahon said, that teaches her how to be a better leader and person both on and off the field. When former coach Sami Henton was asked to describe Henton as a player, she said that McMahon is driven, passionate, resilient, competitive and disciplined. “She is one of the hardest working players I know and, even in the face of adversity, has never thought of giving up her dream,” Henton said. “Maggie has an extraordinary ability to see the field, anticipate her opponents next move as well as help guide the team to making smart game time decisions.” Henton said that McMahon has worked extremely hard to become the skilled lacrosse player she is today and that effort does not go unnoticed. “I am extremely motivated and ever since I was younger I loved being part of something bigger than myself,” McMahon
said. “My favorite thing about lacrosse is how it is such an intense and fast speed game that builds off hard work, and teamwork.” Besides her ability to play, Henton said, McMahon brings energy, passion, and leadership to the team. “Her heart and soul go into everything she does and she creates an environment that encourages others to thrive and be themselves,” Henton said. “She is always willing to go the extra mile for her teammates: someone everyone on the team can count on. Maggie leads by example and sets high expectations for everyone on the team. She is a giving person who is always willing to put the team first.” As McMahon heads to Louisville in the fall, Henton believes that McMahon’s determination, skill-set, energy and love for the game will make her a great asset for her next team. “Playing division 1 lacrosse is a tremendous opportunity and achievement, one
that Maggie thoroughly deserves,” Henton said. “Her determination to succeed is contagious, which will rub off on her future teammates in practice and games. Her lacrosse skills and knowledge will push her teammates to play to the best of their abilities. Maggie’s excitement and love for the game will allow her to create a competitive atmosphere at Louisville while connecting and building lifelong friendships.” McMahon said that she is beyond excited to play at Louisville this fall, and that her future coaches have already made the university feel like home. “I truly love everything the program and the university stands for,” McMahon said. “I couldn’t thank my family, friends and coaches enough for the endless support, and I am eager to see what Louisville has in store.” And of course her parents are proud, stating that as the youngest of three, McMahon has showed them what true determination and hard work can do.

WORD FIND
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When you want to, you can find logic in the seemingly illogical. You’ve been known to crack codes, dispel myths and successfully work out difficult equations. Even so, sometimes you opt for no solution. This week brings a lovely mystery, the likes of which you’d rather enjoy than solve.
Aussie holiday Solution: 17 Letters
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Sadness can stay trapped in you and turn into something more troublesome. But if you let sadness run its course, the feeling will last less than two minutes. There’s relief on the other side. Once sadness is gone, something warm and tender will rush in to fill its place. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s typically easier to show up strong to an audience you know because you can be guided by their needs, wants, values, interests and situational pressures. This week, you’ll have tremendous luck, regardless of how well you know your audience. You’ll deliver the unexpected and be well-received.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s easy to get so wrapped up in a mental movie that you forget to breathe, let alone take in the sights, sounds, tastes, smells and feelings of the physical world. If you’ve been depriving yourself of sensory satisfaction, this is the week to remedy it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The process of improving yourself will happen naturally. Therefore, you do not need to make a special effort to overcome negative habits and refine your character. The transformation will happen automatically as you move toward what you enjoy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The heavy energy will lift like a fog. Your attitude will be the sunshine that evaporates it. Since you’ll be able to see much better in this fair emotional weather, it’s an excellent opportunity to reevaluate recent decisions. Do they work in accordance with your lighter spirit? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will be asked to join a club or increase your involvement in a group. You may fear the communal agenda will clash with your independent spirit, but there is a way to forward your agenda and the goals of the team all in one go. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Assumptions say more about the person making them than they do about the situation. The more innocent your approach, the better you’ll be at seeing things as they are. You’ll learn what people need. You’ll understand a shared truth and come to a consensus about reality, which gives you leverage. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Nothing worth having can be purchased with money. A highly satisfying purchase will have you questioning the validity of that statement. And yet, when the thrill wears off, as it eventually must, you settle back into the deep appreciation of the finer and unbuyable things that make you truly wealthy indeed.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS
No matter how good it is, things can always get better; good company is usually the key. Relationships will buoy you. Your work becomes more interesting, with new elements and twists to keep you challenged. There’s a fun adventure in the summer, and a change in schedule after that. Your physical health will love the adjustments you make. The influence of media will spur you on to a huge win. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s good to have goals, but don’t let them get in the way of loving who you are now. With a certain mindset, fantasizing obsessively about the new and improved future you could be a form of self-rejection. You are complete in this moment, the only moment of action, creation and doing.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
Play it again, Sam South dealer. North-South vulnerable. NORTH ♠A863 ♥A Q 8 ♦ J 10 ♣A K 8 2 WEST EAST ♠Q72 ♠ J 10 4 ♥J 7 3 2 ♥ K 10 9 5 ♦632 ♦Q8754 ♣9 5 3 ♣ 10 SOUTH ♠K95 ♥6 4 ♦AK9 ♣Q J 7 6 4 The bidding: South West North East 1♣ Pass 1♠ Pass 2♠ Pass 6♣ Opening lead — two of hearts. There’s many a slip ‘twixt the cup and the lip, and this is especially true in the play of a slam contract. This deal occurred in a match between Great Britain and Norway. When the Norwegians held the North-South cards, they reached six clubs with minimum fanfare as shown. Certainly, the contract was not bad; in fact, it was rather good. The slam depends at worst on a heart finesse, and without a heart lead, South can make 12 tricks if the
opposing spades are divided 3-3. But West did lead a heart, nullifying the possibility of establishing dummy’s fourth spade. With declarer immediately confronted by the heart situation, he finessed the queen, lost to the king and later lost a spade trick to go down one. No one will ever know whether South would have made the slam had he played differently, but there is no doubt that he misplayed the hand. He erred when he played the queen from dummy on the opening lead. Instead, he should have played the eight! To appreciate the advantage of this play, imagine you’re East and the eight is played from dummy. What would you do? Remember, you see only the lead, dummy’s cards and your own. It might not be so easy to play the nine instead of the king. South could have the jack — especially in view of his failure to finesse the queen. And if you do decide to play the king, South then has 12 ironclad tricks. Declarer loses nothing by trying the eight. If West has the king, the finesse can be taken just as advantageously later on. Playing the eight gives East a chance to go wrong and therefore is the right play. There’s many a slip “’twixt the cup and the lip!”

POLICE REPORT
Syosset Man Pleads Guilty In DWI Crash That Injured Man And 3-Year-Old Girl
N
Varun Datt drove his car onto a sidewalk while intoxicated, striking and injuring a man and child
assau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly announced the guilty plea of a Syosset man charged with driving drunk onto a residential sidewalk and striking a man and his 3-year-old niece in broad daylight in May 2021. Varun Datt, 37, recently pleaded guilty before Judge Caryn Fink on charges including Aggravated Vehicular Assault (a C felony); Assault in the Second Degree (a D felony); and Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated (an E felony). The defendant is due back in court on June 30, 2022, where he is expected to be sentenced to a maximum of three to nine years in prison. “With empty alcohol bottles scattered about his vehicle—and another full bottle in his sweatshirt—this defendant jumped a curb in broad daylight while highly intoxicated, terrorizing a residential area and striking a man and 3-year-old child,” DA Donnelly said. “Because of the male victim’s quick thinking to shield his young
niece, she suffered only minor physical injuries. This case is another truly egregious example of the danger drunk driving poses to the safety of our communities.” DA Donnelly said, according to the indictment and investigation, on May 31, 2021, at approximately 4:30 p.m. the defendant, driving while intoxicated, veered onto the wrong side of a residential street in Syosset where a man was standing with his 3-year-old niece. The defendant’s vehicle jumped the curb onto the sidewalk and struck both victims. The car finally came to rest after striking a parked car head-on. When police arrived on scene, Datt was still in the driver’s seat of the vehicle. Two empty bottles of rum and vodka were found in the car. The defendant’s sweatshirt also contained one full bottle of whiskey and two empty bottles. The male victim was taken to Nassau University Medical Center where he was treated for extensive injuries, including a
Vote
tear in his knee that required wheelchair use for six weeks. The girl was taken to Cohen Children’s Medical Center where she was treated for abrasions and trauma. Datt was arrested on May 31, 2021, in Syosset by detectives of the Nassau County
Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Senior Assistant District Attorney Brooke Salvatore of the Vehicular Crimes Bureau. The defendant is represented by John Powers, Esq. —Submitted by the Office of the Nassau County District Attorney

he Nassau County Legislative Majority joined with Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder and Upper Brookville Mayor Elliot Conway to announce a local law to provide another tool for the county in its fight against the rising theft and illegal resale of catalytic converters. Under this law, all businesses buying catalytic converters will be required to obtain information from the seller, including their ID, copy of title, and the make, model and vehicle identification number of the vehicle the part came from. Businesses will be required to keep these records for five years of the purchase date and they must be made available for inspection, upon request, by the Nassau County Police Department and Consumer Affairs within 72 hours after date of purchase. There has been a sharp increase in catalytic converter thefts nationwide since the COVID-19 pandemic began, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau. A catalytic converter is a device that looks like a small muffler along with the exhaust system. It is designed to convert the environmentally hazardous exhaust emitted by an engine into less harmful gases. To do this, manufacturers use platinum, palladium, or rhodium, making them valuable to scrap metal businesses and more prone to theft. “With theft of catalytic converters on the rise in Nassau County and throughout the country it is important that we provide our law enforcement with as many tools as possible to stop this activity,” Presiding Officer Nicolello said. “This legislation is designed to make it more difficult for thieves to profit from their illegal acts.” Crime statistics show that the most common catalytic converter thefts are from Prius, Toyota, Lexus, and Honda Accord models. The cars tend to be parked on streets or in parking lots. Thieves have even gone after new cars in car lots. “Catalytic converter theft has been an epidemic in Nassau County, especially among certain makes and models of cars,” Legislator Bill Gaylor, one of the legislation’s co-sponsors said. “By reducing the number of places thieves can sell the parts stripped from catalytic converters, we are putting a dent into their system. Further, by providing the police and consumer affairs with the information necessary to track down the sellers in case the parts were stolen, we have given law enforcement the necessary tools to make Nassau County safer.” The cost to replace a catalytic converter can be anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 and experienced thieves can crawl under your car and cut out the catalytic converter and be gone in under two minutes. The car will still run without a catalytic converter, but it will not be able to pass a yearly inspection. “This new legislation will make it much

• Park in your garage when possible. If not, park in your driveway rather than on the street. • Remember to lock your garage. • Always take your keys or FOB with you. • Never leave or hide a smart key, valet key or spare key in your vehicle. • Never leave your car running, while unattended or unlocked. • Park in well-lit areas. • Keep the exterior of homes and driveways well illuminated. • Close all your vehicle windows completely when parked. • Consider installing a GPS system, a visible anti-theft device or an audible alarm. • Never leave valuable personal property in your vehicle. • Also, secure your garage door opener to prevent access to your home. Car thefts are attractive to criminals because it is a lower risk crime. When a thief enters your unlocked car, rummages through your belongings, and leaves with nothing, it becomes nuisance criminal activity and is very difficult to effectively prosecute. However, if thieves get just a few successful thefts of possessions in a particular neighborhood, that area remains a recurring attractive target. Remember, if you “see something, say something.” Dial 9-1-1 and be ready to provide the police with as much information as possible regarding the description of the suspicious person or vehicle. License plate numbers are extremely valuable for the police if you can capture that information. —Submitted by the Nassau County Legislative Majority
