TOP STORY
Budget Achieves Another Year Free Of Tax Hike JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com
T
welve years and running. That’s the message from the Village of East Hills Mayor and Board of Trustees (BOT) as the 2022-2023 budget has been achieved without a tax increase for the 12th year in a row. For the fiscal year, the village budget will total $13,157,577. The bulk of that will come from Government Support ($2,575,233), Public Safety ($2,330,845), and Employee Benefits ($2,601,263). The village hopes to raise $2,307,673 in revenues from items other than real property taxes. That includes $678,050 from Licenses & Permits and $431,207 from State Aid. The village is receiving no Federal Aid. Fines & Forfeitures amount to $300,000 in revenue. As always, the bulk of revenue comes from property taxes. For this fiscal year, that total will be $8,889,903. Mayor Michael Koblenz, who has presided over all 12 (or more) of those budgets, expressed thanks to fellow board members for achieving this milestone. “While it is unconfirmed that twelve years sets a village record for all surrounding municipalities, the continued passage of our budget without tax increases in a year of the highest inflation in 40 years is a proud accomplishment,” Koblenz said in his budget statement. “With the continued plight of COVID, and its variants, we continue to face many new and significant challenges. However, even with the obstacles we face, the village is projected to maintain a very healthy surplus at the close of the fiscal year.” The mayor added that the village will maintain its Aa1 Moody’s bond rating. In
The entrance to village hall
Mayor Michael R. Koblenz addition, the village “once again received one of the finest evaluations of any village on the financial stress tests given by the NYS Comptroller.” “It should be stressed that village taxes
generally amount to only 16-17 percent of all taxes paid by our residents,” the mayor said. “Even with our rather limited portion of all taxes paid, we shoulder the entire costs of sanitation, snow removal, paving our roads, security, the pool, the park, fees for Nassau County police, administration for our programs and fire protection.” In addition to thanking BOT members, the mayor thanked residents who have volunteered their time to serve on various committees, including the Board of Zoning and Appeals, the Planning Board, the Architectural Review Board, Tennis Committee, Kids in the Park Committee, the Mayor’s Trophy Tournament Committee, Park Rules Review Committee, and the Security Committee. Their service, the mayor added, helps the village minimize paid staff expenses. The budget contains the usual amount of funding for safety, road repairs, “open and transparent government,” and funds for the
Justice Court System. “Safety remains our number one priority and the budget provides the means to achieve these important objectives,” the mayor said in his budget message. “For the past couple of years, almost all incidences have involved unlocked cars with key fobs left in the vehicles. Our community is safer than ever. These protections are particularly important during the COVID Crisis when families are home and residents need to be protected. Our new Security Entrance Cameras are 90 percent online and add another layer detection and deterrence.” Safety includes the volunteer firefighters. “The Village budget provides for a contract in excess of $1,000,000 with the Roslyn Fire Companies for firefighting, equipment, trucks, and retirement fund for Roslyn Highlands, Roslyn Rescue and their ambulance services,” the budget message added. The mayor used the occasion to champion not only services, but the many amenities the village continues to offer, including those from The Park at East Hills: tennis facilities, basketball courts, community lounge, swimming pool, Park Grille, Snow Mountain, nature trails, woods, Dog Park, walking, jogging and biking paths, and sports playgrounds. “This year we will add Pickle Ball, on one of our basketball courts,” the mayor informed residents. Finally, the village will continue its practice of welcoming new residents with a brunch in their honor. Such residents will be apprised of the services and amenities the village has to offer. That includes regular e-mails during weather emergencies by having daily meetings and preparing and writing updates. The newsletters that are prepared are called “Messages from the Mayor.” The latter, village officials said, have proven to be particularly beneficial during the ongoing Coronavirus Crisis.

Roslyn Was Crichton’s Cradle of Creativity JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com
R
oslyn has had its share of famous authors. In many cases, they were residents, not natives. William Cullen Bryant was from Cummington, MA. Christopher Morley grew up in Bryn Mawr, PA. Crichton was born in Chicago, but reared in Roslyn. Ahead was a remarkably prolific career. Crichton was one of the only American to have a best-selling novel, movie, script. His books sold over 200 million copies and man of them were made into movies, including Jurassic Park, Rising Sun, and Disclosure. It all started in Roslyn. The man’s memories of the village are all good ones. And that includes its public schools. “Roslyn was another world,” Crichton said in a 1994 interview. “Looking back, it’s remarkable what wasn’t going on. There was no terror. No fear of children being abused. No fear of random murder. No drug use we knew about. I walked to school. I rode my bike for miles and miles, to the movie on Main Street and piano lessons and the like. Kids had freedom. It wasn’t such a dangerous world... We studied our butts off, and we got a tremendously good education there.” Crichton graduated from Roslyn High School in 1960. Roslyn, at that time, might have seemed innocent, but this was true of most places on Long Island if not the entire New York City area. At Roslyn, Crichton, who grew to be six feet and nine inches tall, also played basketball for the legendary Joe Lettera, the longtime head coach of the Bulldogs. Lettera’s leadership helped to guide many a Roslyn youngster into adulthood. Crichton, too, was a fan. Lettera, as Crichton remembered him, was a “young coach…who grew up in a tough neighborhood. He told us, ‘We’re going to build character through winning.’ That was the spirit at the time. So I wanted to come back again and see where I came from.” Lettera returned the favor, hailing Crichton one of the five best players he ever coached, including the best center he ever had. After Roslyn, it was off to Harvard. By the time he was a teenager, Crichton had the writing bug. At age 14, he even published a travel piece in The New York Times. In Cambridge, Crichton hoped to major
Michael Crichton in English. However, when he received only a “B minus” for a paper on one of his literary idols, George Orwell, the young man began to doubt his writing skills. He graduated instead with a B.A. in Biological Anthropology. The writing bug wouldn’t go away. In 1966, he published his first novel, Odds On, written under the pen name of John Lange. In the next several years, more novels written under that name and another pseudonym Jeffrey Hudson were published. Crichton, however, was getting tired of the word games. In 1969, he achieved a breakthrough with the publication of The Andromeda Strain, now published under his real name. Inspired by the Len Deighton novel, The Ipcress File, the novel was a thriller in which scientists investigate an extraterrestrial microorganism that clogs human blood, resulting in instant death. By now, Crichton was publishing a book a year. He also ventured into film, writing scripts, and trying his hand at directing. Was there anything Crichton
Crichton then directed his prodigious talents to television. In the early 1990s, Crichton was the creator and executive producer of ER. That smash hit was based on a 1974 script, 24 Hours. Crichton enlisted the help of Steven Spielberg for his latest project. By 1994, Crichton stood at the summit of the world of popular culture, scoring a hat trick with the year’s top grossing movie (Jurassic Park), number-one rated television show (ER) and the top best-selling book, Disclosure. Michael Crichton as a Roslyn HIgh He also used that year to School senior reflect on his good fortune of growing up in Roslyn and receiving a great education in a safe, family-friendly town. Playing basketball helped, too. Writers may sit at a desk, but the work is physically and mentally grueling. According to an online biographer, Crichton, when writing a novel, would “rise increasingly early each day, meaning that he would sleep for less than four hours by going to bed at 10 p.m. and waking at 2 a.m.” Later in his career, Crichton ruffled feathers when he ridiculed climate change fears. Ever restless, Crichton, in 1984, created his own video game, Amazon. Novels, films, television dramas, video games, non-fiction: There was nothing Crichton couldn’t do. In 1992, he couldn’t do? His non-fiction books was even named by People magazine as included a study of hospital practices one of the sexiest men alive. in his adopted city of Boston and After his death in 2008 of cancer, Electronic Life, a 1983 book about the Crichton was hailed as one of the most oncoming world of the personal creative and unique minds of his genercomputer. ation.

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

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

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
PARENTING PLUS Kathy Rivera
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
Karl V. Anton, Jr., Publisher, Anton Community Newspapers, 1984-2000
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.

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,

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.

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.
“This program creates an immersion program for students that integrates classroom study guides with an extraordinary field experience,” Gloria Sesso, the Armor Museum’s education coordinator and co-president of the Long Island Council for The liberation of the Nazi death camps have been demonstrated at the museum to hundreds of school children.
the Social Studies said. “As the classroom returns to normal following COVID this program regains the ability to tell the story of World War II, its legacy, and why the chilling scenes we are seeing in Ukraine are yet another chapter written by that conflict.” School districts may register for the event by emailing tvanwickler@nassaucountyny. gov or by phoning 516-572-8409. —Museum of American Armor

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,

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.

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.

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,

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. She is going to play at the University of Louisville next year. McMahon said what inspired her to play lacrosse was her two older brothers Johny and Aidan. “Growing up I always wanted to be like them and after years of

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

HOROSCOPES By Holiday Mathis HOROSCOPES
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.

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!”

Banner For Immersion Program Herricks Musicians
A
t the April 7 Herricks Board of Education meeting, New York State School Boards Association recognized Herricks Public Schools for their Spanish Immersion Program with a special banner. The recognition is part of the NYSSBA program Champions of Change. During the banner presentation, NYSSBA Member Relations Manager Patrick Longo said, “The Champions for Change program recognizes innovative and creative change that enriches educational opportunities and improves academic results.”
He praised the teachers, staff, administrators and board for their hard work and commitment to the program. Herricks’ Spanish Immersion program is one of the most unique dual-language K-12 offerings in the state and is open to all students but serves mostly students who do not speak Spanish at home. The district launched the voluntary program in September of 2010. Currently more than 520 students are enrolled districtwide and this June, the pioneering class of 22 students will graduate.
To Perform Abroad

Herricks High School senior Keneil Soni and junior Carolyn Lau have been invited to participate in the 2022 National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA), a prestigious national program by Carnegie Hall. Chosen through a rigorous audition process from among top musicians ages 16-19 nationwide, Soni is one of only seven horn players and Lau is one of only four flautists accepted. They are the first students from Nassau County ever to be selected into NYO-USA for their respective instruments. Both students currently attend Juilliard Pre-College. Soni studies horn under Professor Javier Gandara and is the co-principal horn of the Juilliard Pre-College Orchestra. He was a member of the National Youth Orchestra 2 (a feeder program of NYO-USA for musicians ages 14-17) during the summers of 2019 and 2020 and was also the

principal horn in the NAfME All National Symphony Orchestra this winter. Lau studies flute under Professor Carol Wincenc and has served as principal/ co-principal flute with several orchestras, including the Juilliard Pre-College Symphony and Metropolitan Youth Orchestra of New York Principal Orchestra with which she soloed as their concerto competition winner. She is a two-time National YoungArts Classical Music award winner.

‘HairPower’ Versus Childhood Cancer FRANK RIZZO
ENJOY OUR SPRING FLING PROMOTION!

“H
e would have stolen five more bases today,” someone joked after Louis Chrisomalis-Sattler, 10, got his considerable locks shorn. The fourth-grader at Shelter Rock Elementary School came directly from his Little League game to Publicans, where Manhasset High School junior Logan Panzik organized his fourth annual St. Baldrick’s event on April 10. Asked why he had submitted to the shaving, the son of Dean Sattler and Dana Chrisomalis said simply, “I wanted to do this to help kids with cancer.” Louis’ mother and his sister Samantha, a junior at Manhasset High School, watched as Reinaldo Loureiro deftly used an electric hair clipper to reduce the luxuriant tuft to a buzz. “Was it a hard decision for you?” his mother asked Louis, who could not quickly articulate an answer. “He didn’t hesitate yesterday,” his mother noted, adding, “He’s been growing it a year.” Logan Panzik suggested that Louis could avoid barbers for another year so he could take part in the 2023 edition. Numerous people showed up to get buzz haircuts as part of a fundraiser for the namesake foundation. Since 2005 it has contributed more than $300 million to research cures for childhood cancers, second only to

the federal government. “This year, because we’ve been off the last two years [due to the pandemic] we’re a little bit lighter with donations,” Logan admitted. “Those first three years we did it we raised about $50,000. We had over 100 people shave their heads.” He recalled how as a sixth-grader, in 2016, he went to the Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point for a St. Baldrick’s event and got his head barbered. The following year, and in 2018 and 2019, he organized successful events at Plandome Haircutters and at the high school before COVID-19 interrupted this momentum. Logan, the son of Steven and Chaz, said it became personal and he took it “close to heart” when his beloved grandfather Harold Panzik became ill with cancer before dying in 2019. Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jen DeSena, Receiver of Taxes Charles Berman and councilmembers Veronica Lurvey and Peter Zuckerman showed up to recognize the fundraiser, and Zuckerman also got the tonsorial treatment. Plandome Haircutters barbers donating their volunteer services were, in addition to Loureiro, Eddie Siza, Debbie Lochner, Michael Rizzo and Tina Lelia Logan watched as his father, Steve, was “buzzed” by Siza. His brother, Hunter, did not participate this time around. “Uncle Sam will take care of it,” Steve quipped; Hunter will be reporting for basic training at the Air Force Academy in June. Donate at www.stbaldricks.org/events/ publicans2022.

Springtime Smiles At The Onderdonk House Although the day began with a quick shower, it wasn’t enough to keep the smiles from the children and family members who came and enjoyed the Onderdonk House’s Spring Has Sprung event this past Saturday. Families gathered for a morning of fun that began with a beautiful cello performance, followed by story time and crafting Easter hats. Children were also invited to decorate one of the Onderdonk garden trees with eggs which, along with the spoon and egg roll on the lawn, gave a nod to the storied past of this historic landmark. There were also bunnies and hens to pet, other lawn games to enjoy, raffles and tasty treats from the Waffle Chic Food Truck. Peter Rabbit was on hand for photos and seasonal songs could be heard around the property as children and families enjoyed each other’s company. Like all the events that are held at the Onderdonk House, proceeds will go towards the upkeep and restoration of the neighborhood landmark. —Submitted by the Onderdonk Landmark Society

Nets Name Katie Oppo Research Fund Community Hero
he Katie Oppo Research Fund (KORF) was founded in 2011 after the passing of Katherine (Katie) Oppo from small cell carcinoma of the ovary hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT), a rare form of ovarian cancer that affects very young women of median ages 12-34. It is a devastating diagnosis for these young women and their families. Katie was following her dream to become a physician at Johns Hopkins University. After finishing her freshman year, she began a summer internship working in the emergency room at Northwell Health, when she was diagnosed with SCCOHT, in late August 2010—she was just nineteen years old. Last month, the Long Island Nets honored KORF as a “Community Hero,” at the Nassau Coliseum featuring a close and exciting game. On the Megatron at half time KORF’s mission was shared with the fans as KORF members were introduced at center court and awarded a glass plaque. Katie’s mom, Liz Oppo and board member Nadia Gianopoulos were in attendance as well as Girl Scouts from Manhasset Troop 568. Liz Oppo promised that she and Team Katie would keep Kate’s dreams alive of shedding light on this awful disease. KORF is a 501c3 non-profit research organization. As a layperson, Liz tries to keep abreast of the latest, most promising research. She interviews scientists and doctors and donates directly to the specific research arena she spends years vetting

dedicated to the Ovarian Cancer community and hopes to leave a legacy in her daughter’s name that will live on and help to save the lives of others. The KORF 5K run will be on Sunday,
June 5 this year at Flower Hill Park and its Cinco de Mayo event will be on Thursday, May 5 at Seacliff Manor. For more information visit www.teamkatieoppo.org. —Submitted by Team Katie Oppo
Theft Charges For New Hyde Park Woman Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly that announced that a New Hyde Park woman was recently arraigned on charges she allegedly stole approximately $750,000 from a 91-yearold woman who entrusted her finances to the defendant’s employer, a Floral Park attorney. The defendant allegedly wrote checks to herself and used the victim’s credit cards to pay for airline tickets, beauty products, and other lifestyle expenses. Elizabeth Reilly was indicted by a grand jury and arraigned before Judge Fran Ricigliano on charges of Grand Larceny in the Second Degree (a C felony). The defendant pleaded not guilty and is due back in court on May
6. If convicted, the defendant faces a potential maximum of 7 and-half to 15 years in prison. District Attorney Donnelly said that, the defendant’s employer, a Floral Park attorney, had a verbal agreement with the victim that he would handle her finances as she began executing a Power of Attorney, Living Will and other documents with him. As part of this agreement, the law office’s address became the mailing address on record for the victim’s financial institutions and Reilly was given access to bank statements, check books, credit cards and financial statements. According to the investigation, between 2016 and 2020, more than 250
checks were written from the victim’s bank accounts and allegedly made out to the defendant or to cash and deposited into the defendant’s accounts or an account held by the defendant’s husband. The deposited checks totaled more than $675,000. Additionally, the victim’s credit card statements revealed hundreds of PayPal transactions for charitable donations to an animal shelter. The defendant’s PayPal records revealed the victim’s credit card was allegedly saved to Reilly’s PayPal account as a source for payments. Other credit card charges attributed to the victim’s credit card accounts included personal purchases, beauty products, a gym
membership, and airline tickets. The investigation revealed that the defendant then allegedly paid the credit card balance, online, using the victim’s bank accounts. These payments were linked to a device allegedly located at Reilly’s home address. The alleged theft was discovered in October 2020, when Reilly’s employer reviewed the victim’s credit card statements and saw questionable activity. The case was referred to NCDA’s Financial Crimes Bureau in February 2021. The charges are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless found guilty. —Submitted by the Nassau County District Attorney’s office
