TOP STORY

Singing The Praises Of Pulling The Lever Essay contest finalists share thoughts on the importance of voting “The whole purpose of democracy is for every person to have a say in what goes on, and when less than half the country is voting, not everyone’s voice is not being heard. And when not everyone’s opinion is being heard, that’s not a democracy.” —Colin James Mushorn

DAVE GIL de RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

he spirit of democracy was alive and well at Massapequa’s Bar Harbor Library. It was here that the four finalists in this year’s 500 For 500 essay contest gathered with their families and friends to present their written compositions to a captive audience. The competition is one that Dr. Cynthia Paulis has been running for the past six years. Every year, the Massapequa High School Class of 1971 alum presents a patriotic theme in the form of a question to that year’s senior class in which a 500-word essay is required to answer the query. This year, Paulis asked the question, “Why is it important for you to vote in any election?” Given the issues going on with voter suppression laws in our country and a ground war in Ukraine where the fate of democracy in that country is literally hanging in the balance, it’s a topic that couldn’t be more timely. In prior years, Paulis waded through roughly 22 entries, picking one boy and one girl from that year’s graduation class. With 30 students applying

in 2022, Paulis went with four finalists—Danielle Kennedy Finn, Colin James Mushorn, Julianne Hisako Pulizzi and Brenden Joseph Dubrosse. All four read their essays at the ceremony and while the initial prize was $500 for the top winners with the other two finalists receiving an amount to be disclosed later, when the reveal was done after the last student was done reading, Paulis wound up giving them all the same amount. Amid the sound of clicking camera phones and excited supporters, each finalist gave their reason for wanting to enter the contest. For Debrosse, who is still deciding between Boston College, SUNY Binghamton and the University of Delaware, writing about voting was rather personal. “I remember learning in social studies that even though the voting age is 18, most 18-year-olds don’t take advantage of that. That’s why student loans wind up so high—they are the ones most being affected by it and they aren’t voting and maybe changing that outcome.” For aspiring art therapist Pulizzi, who plans on attending SUNY New Paltz, voting is a matter of fairness. “Voting is very important and a way to fight a lot of injustices,” she said. “It’s a way to make sure

everybody [is treated] equally and everyone has a say in what resources they receive.” Finn, an early childhood education major heading to St. Augustine’s Flagler College to be an elementary school teacher, felt it was her chance to address a common fallacy about going to the polls. “I know through social studies that most people feel like if they are [the minority] in a red or blue state, they may not feel like they’re having an impact because of what state they’re living in,” she explained. “But that’s not the case—every vote counts.” For Mushorn, shipping off to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy on July 8 with hopes of travel and studying for a degree in marine engineering and shipyard management, the topic intrigued him. “When the scholarship list was sent out, I found it really interesting that there was a question asking why you should vote,” he recalled. “That’s not something that’s typically asked, so I thought it was something different and sparked my interest about American government and history.” Looking on proudly was Massapequa High School Executive Assistant for Guidance Paul Weber. For Weber, who helped get this competition

off the ground when Paulis first walked into his office back in 2014, these kinds of efforts renew his faith in the students coming through his district every year. “I feel like as we get older, we get pessimistic about whether the next generation is going to continue this experiment [in democracy],” he said. “But it’s nights like this, along with graduation and scholarship season, when you start to hear speeches like this and it’s become glass half-full. It’s going to be okay.” As someone who has watched this homegrown competition grow as each year has passed, Paulis agreed that there is plenty to these written displays that rejuvenate her optimism and faith in the young people. “This all started out as an idea and concept,” she said. “Look how it’s grown and how many people it’s helped. Every year, I want to keep growing it. This is the first year we had four finalists. This competition is kind of like democracy—little shoots of optimism and growth and you don’t know where it leads. And who knows where those four people are going to go? And what will they do with their lives 20, 30 or 40 years from now? I hope they do great things and I think they will because of their thought process.”

“When we vote, we have the ability to use our voices to elect individuals that represent our values and immediate concerns. Even if our candidate or party is not elected, our vote can still influence decisions made by the elected party.” —Julianne Hisako Pulizzi

“Each and every time an American citizen ignores their right to vote, the likelihood of a corrupt candidate being granted a seat at the governmental table increases.” —Brenden Joseph Debrosse

“There are some people that take for granted that right to vote, they believe it is owed to them. Well it is not. Voting is a constitutional right that Americans should never take for granted.” —Danielle Kennedy Finn

Spring Is Here: Lawn Fertilizer And When to Apply It Plainview Water District urges residents to be responsible with lawn chemicals and fertilizers

s part of its Preserve Plainview initiative, the Plainview Water District (PWD) would like to remind residents about the impacts that premature and excessive lawn fertilizing has on the environment and water supply. “We want residents to enjoy their green lawns, but we want to make sure that they are being kept green in the most environmentally friendly way possible that complies with the rules and regulations of the county,” said Plainview Water District Chairman Marc Laykind. “To help protect our sole-source aquifer and other local water ways, we ask residents to adhere to Nassau County’s fertilizer law to help support our efforts of improving groundwater quality and protecting our environment.” Residents should always apply the minimum amount of lawn chemicals to the soil and make sure they are stored properly. Additionally, all fertilizers or

other lawn chemicals must be kept in cool and dry locations inside of containers that are not prone to leaks. By following instructions listed on the packaging, homeowners can minimize the amount of fertilizer used, limit the amount that runs

off into the ground and into our sewer systems so the impact to the environment can be kept to a minimum. “Our weather is unpredictable this time of year and our region always seems to get some spring-like weather one day and then get hit with an end-of-March snowstorm or cold snap,” PWD Commissioner Andrew Bader said. “Applying fertilizers on frozen ground, or right before the ground refreezes, will take the fertilizers off your lawn and into our waterways. Save your money and our environment by ensuring you fertilize at the right time.” Organic fertilizers—such as cotton seed meal, bone meal and manure—are other examples of effective alternatives to typical fertilizers that will benefit the environment. Biodegradable insecticides that break down to harmless substances in two-to-21 days are also another effective yet safe way to treat your lawn. “Purchasing the right type of fertilizer is

as important as when you apply it to your lawn,” PWD Commissioner Amanda Field added. “We want people to remember that the water we drink comes from beneath our feet, so the more chemicals and toxins we put on the ground, the more they leach into our groundwater. When levels of nitrogen increase in our groundwater, the only option we have is to invest in treatment to ensure those elevated groundwater levels are not reflected in our drinking water. This is why we urge people to use natural, organic fertilizers at the right times rather than fertilizers packed with harmful chemicals.” Call 516-931-6469 or visit the Plainview Water District website at www.plainview water.org for additional information on the proper use of lawn and garden products, Be sure to sign up for email updates on the district’s homepage to receive additional information about water district activities. —Submitted by the Plainview Water District

MASSAPEQUA PAIR ARE NATIONAL MERIT FINALISTS A pair of Massapequa High School students have advanced to the next round of the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program. Seniors Matt McAuley and Hayley Tan can proudly call themselves National Merit finalists. The two students, who were announced as semifinalists in September, were among approximately 15,000 students nationwide to be named finalists. They moved one step closer to potentially earning Merit Awards, which includes scholarship money.

“It is the result of a lot of hard work paying off,” McAuley said. “My parents are definitely proud of that.” Added Tan, “It’s an honor and I’m very excited about it. I couldn’t have foreseen this.” The students are both still in the college selection process for the fall. McAuley is looking to study computer science and Tan wants to pursue a degree in neuroscience. “Matt and Hayley are two hard-working students who have demonstrated academic

SEAFORD’S YOUNG SCIENTISTS ATTEND RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM An in-person science exhibition was a welcome change for a trio of Seaford High School students, who had been competing in virtual contests for the past two years. Madison Elias, Kailly Nocera and Chelsea Russo all took part in the recent Long Island Science and Engineering Fair at the Crest Hollow Country Club, with two garnering awards. From Seaford’s science research program, 18 projects were submitted into the LISEF competition and six were accepted. Madison, Kailly and Chelsea then competed in the second round, with judges visiting them throughout the day and asking questions about their research projects. Elias and Russo competed in the animal and plant sciences category, with Elias earning second place for her project, questioning if green tea can extend the memory for extinction training in the great pond snail. Russo analyzed the impact of artificial sweeteners in planaria

and the potential implications to humans. Nocera’s project on the movement of water and ice on Mars, and the potential for habitability, earned her second place in the math, astronomy and physics category. She also earned the NASA Earth Systems Science Project Award. The students attended the fair with their science research teachers, Janine Cupo and Mary

Farmingdale State College Alum Donates $1.4M F

armingdale State College (FSC) recently announced a $1.4M donation has been received to establish a laboratory for Radio Frequency (RF) and Microwave Technology. The gift from Murray Pasternack, class of 1960, is the largest in the college’s history. The lab, which is to be named in honor of Pasternack, will fund a dramatic upgrade in the radio frequency and microwave technology equipment, and support new course offerings for the Electrical Engineering Technology Department in the School of Engineering Technology, making it a leader in educating the RF engineers. Pasternack’s gift will allow students to train using industry-leading equipment including vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, RF signal generators, noise sources, mixed domain oscilloscopes and more. RF components are the active and passive parts that are used to assemble wireless receivers and transmitters. These components are used in many diverse applications including radio, TV, radar, GPS, cell towers and medical electronics. With this gift Pasternack becomes the largest single donor to the school in its history. Previously he provided two $500,000 gifts to support the launch of an honors program at the college. “It was important to me that we build a lab where we can train the next generation in this technology,” Pasternack said. “The need for wireless is growing at a time when the number of engineers is decreasing. I aim to reverse the trend.” Pasternack developed a deep interest in the workings of receivers and transmitters as a student at Farmingdale and credits his experience at FSC as key to his huge success in the RF industry. He retired from a successful career in technology, law and banking. As founder and CEO of Pasternack Enterprises in Irvine, CA, from 1972 to 1992, Pasternack fundamentally changed the way RF components were sold throughout the electronics industry. “Murray Pasternack’s gift is unparalleled in our college’s history,” FSC President Dr. John S. Nader said. This gift will help us modernize and expand a program that addresses the needs of today’s high technology firms. We are deeply grateful to Murray for choosing to give back to the college in this way. His generosity and steadfast commitment to creating opportunities for

Farmingdale State College alum Murray Pasternack (Submitted by Farmingdale State College)

our students is inspiring.” Indeed, Pasternack’s interests include building a pipeline of engineers needed to meet the rapidly growing workforce demands of a dynamic and growing industry including in-demand jobs on Long Island. “One of the companies I’ve invested in is just down the street from Farmingdale and we need excellent engineers to succeed,” the alumn said. “This is a good arrangement for everyone. Farmingdale educates them in my lab, then we can hire them on after graduation.” “Like every great engineer and philanthropist, Murray identifies opportunities to ‘fix things’ or make them better and sees giving as a tool to propel the college forward,” FSC Vice President of Development & Alumni Engagement Matthew Colson said. “We are so grateful to have him set an example of how gifts of extraordinary philanthropy can improve outcomes for students. The size of his gift only rivals the humbleness within his heart.” —Submitted by Farmingdale State College

MacArthur Generals Roll Past Defending Division II Champs BY JAMES ROWAN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

It was a risky proposition for both programs. The reality of starting the 2022 season with a loss loomed large for the MacArthur and Plainedge boys lacrosse teams when they recently met on a frigid opening night. The Plainedge Red Devils were coming off a 15-0 season last year, which was capped with the Division II Nassau title. The MacArthur Generals were 10-5 and reached the second round of the playoffs. For nearly three full quarters, the game was a tense back and forth affair. But it was John Nessler’s Generals who closed out the game with seven unanswered goals for a 13-5 victory. Seniors Vinny Butrico (four goals) and Matt Papach (three goals and three assists) led the charge for MacArthur. Junior attackman Caden Morra had two goals and

an assist for Plainedge. “Winning the first game back is a very big statement,” said senior midfielder Nick Del Grosso, who scored the game’s first goal. “We want to take the momentum from that

first game and bring it throughout the whole season. We came into the game focusing in on their team as a whole. We wanted to take control early and keep the pressure on Plainedge.” Morra, who had 65 goals last season and was named second-team All Long Island, helped pace the Red Devils. Plainedge scored on back-to-back possessions and pulled to within 6-5 with two minutes left to play in the third quarter. But that’s when the game changed. MacArthur’s Patrick Cheswick drove to the cage and rolled one by the Plainedge goalkeeper for a 7-5 lead with 1:01 left in the third quarter. MacArthur never looked back. MacArthur’s Connor Cullen won the next three face offs and the defense clamped down as the Generals closed out the game on a 7-0 run. Goaltender Steven Weber (seven saves), defenders Michael Cassano, Sean

Napoli and Ryan Larkin, as well as defensive midfielders Nick Del Grosso, Luca Runyan and James Hespe turned the Generals’ end of the field into a “no goal zone.” “I think after the first half we started to get rid of the jitters of being on the field for the first time since last season,” said Del Grosso, who had a nifty assist on Cheswick’s second goal. “Going into the fourth we knew as a team everyone needed to step up their game and just play as a team.” Cheswick (two), James Hegel (two), Del Grosso and Ryan Fitzpatrick also scored goals for MacArthur. James Napoli, Matt Cassidy and Cheswick also handed out assists for the Generals. Braden Donnellan had a goal and an assist and Travis Aquilino notched two assists for the Red Devils. Netminder Chris Santacroce had nine saves for Plainedge. —James Rowan is a Levittown resident.

The Cradle Of Aviation Is Where It’s At

Spring and summer series of events kicked off with The Chocolate Expo JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

uests of the Cradle of Aviation in Garden City were treated to wine, cheeses, coffee, chocolates and, of course, exhibits on aerospace on March 27 as part of The Chocolate Expo. “We were going to celebrate our 10th anniversary last year, but then COVID-19 came along,” said Marvin Baum, an organizer of the Chocolate Expo, which has been held at the Cradle of Aviation since 2012. “But everyone is anxious to get back out now and we are really excited to get back.” There was certainly a lot of excitement in the air, as the museum lobby and exhibit spaces were filled with guests enjoying samples offered by vendors coming from across the Tri-State area, while also taking pictures with Disney princesses, Santa Claus and other characters. “People love chocolate,” Baum said. “But

■ '

you have to offer something that really engages people... Somebody got engaged at our last event on March 1, 2020, just before the pandemic and we had a very good turnout.” And engagements could happen in this space, where organizer Barbara Cohen said love happens. She had reached out to the engaged couple to come back again to the event this year as guests, and have their engagement party there. “There are these moments within the show, and our photographers catch them, where [for example] the mother wipes the chocolate off of the children’s faces or the princess leans down [to greet a child],” Cohen said. The Cradle of Aviation is known for serving as a great host for a variety of events, including the upcoming Long Island Table Top Gaming Expo on April 9; the comic, collectible and pop-culture convention Cradle Con on May 14 and 15; and the Long Island Retro Gaming Expo on August 12 and 14. Part of what makes the Cradle of Aviation a great spot to host expos and conventions is not only the people who work at the museum, said Joel Albino of the Long Island Retro Gaming Expo, but also the backdrop of aviation and space exhibits.

“I love running shows there,” Albino said. “I love telling people about it and they show up and say ‘holy moley, this is something else.’ You go to a lot of shows and there are conventions halls and convention centers and they are great for what they are, but they are just a big box... While the Cradle makes it a little more challenging of where to place things, because there’s a lot of twists and turns, you can’t beat the decor and the aesthetic and the backdrop.” And as a plus, admission to these events often comes with admission to the museum and, at the Chocolate Expo, admission to see a planetarium show.

At the upcoming Table Top Gaming Expo, guests can expect to enjoy card, miniature and board games, as well as role-playing games, panels and vendors. Albino said he and the fellow organizers work to create an event they’d want to go to. “It’s going to be easy for somebody who maybe has an interest, but does not have a lot of experience, to show up and say ‘maybe I’ll see what this or that game is about,’” Albino said. “You don’t have to be a table top gamer who knows everything to have a good time.” Visit cradleofaviation.org to learn more about the Cradle of Aviation and the upcoming events.

orthwell Health has been recognized as a national leader in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) inclusiveness by the 2022 Healthcare Equality Index (HEI). Twenty-five Northwell facilities earned Equity Leader status, which is based on the health system’s policies and practices dedicated to the equitable treatment and inclusion of LGBTQ+ patients, staff and visitors. Less than 500 facilities nationwide earned the Equity Leader distinction on the 15th annual survey. This is Northwell’s eighth appearance on the HEI survey, which is compiled by the Human Rights Campaign, a nonprofit which strives to end LGBTQ+ discrimination. Northwell grew from eight locations recognized in 2014, its first year on the list, to 25 leadership awards this year. “At Northwell Health we continue to expand our culture of care where we build trust and partnerships with our patients and are dedicated to providing culturally sensitive, respectful and humanistic care to all of our communities,” said Jennifer H. Mieres, MD, chief diversity and inclusion officer and senior vice president of the health system’s Center for Equity of Care. “We offer personalized, compassionate health care to each and every person inclusive of members of our community who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer. It is a great privilege— and a great responsibility—as we continue our journey in re-igniting the human connection as a pathway to advancing diversity, inclusion, and health equity. We are honored to be recognized by the HRC Healthcare Equality Index for the past eight years.” Twenty Northwell hospitals received perfect scores: Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New Hyde Park, Glen Cove Hospital, Huntington Hospital, Mather Hospital in Port Jefferson, Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, LIJ Forest Hills, LIJ Valley Stream, Manhattan Eye Ear and Throat, North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, Northern Westchester Hospital in Mt. Kisco, Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead, Phelps Hospital in Sleepy Hollow, Plainview Hospital, South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore, South Oaks Hospital in Amityville, Staten Island University Hospital (North and South campuses), Syosset Hospital, Zucker Hillside Hospital in New Hyde Park. In addition, the Center for Transgender Care in Great Neck, Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in Manhasset, Lenox

Health Greenwich Village, Orzac Center for Rehabilitation and Stern Family for Rehabilitation each earned the designation. Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care, which operates more than 50 locations in the New York Metro area, earned top performer status. “At Northwell Health, we are pursuing health equity, which includes high-quality, culturally-competent care and services for our communities,” said Edward Fraser, vice president of Community Relations and chair of Northwell’s EXPRESSIONS BERG, which serves as a resource to enhance workforce engagement and promote LGBTQ+ awareness. “Since 2014, Northwell has retained leadership status with the Healthcare Equality Index survey. This could not have been possible without involving our LGBTQIA+ Employee Resource Group, EXPRESSIONS, composed of 500-plus interdisciplinary team members throughout our organization. This past year, EXPRESSIONS was able to help complete over 2,000 hours of LGBTQIA+ health education, a component to this leadership designation.” HEI examines four key criteria: Foundational policies and training, LGBTQ+ patient services and support, employee benefits and policies, and patient and community engagement. More than 900 facilities participated in the latest survey. Another area of focus is LGBTQ+ education (50-hour minimum each year): Mather Hospital in Port Jefferson, Staten Island University Hospital’s north campus and South Oaks Hospital in Amityville each completed more than 200 hours.

IN OUR OPINION

Bad Behavior Gets Rewarded At the 94th Academy Awards ceremony held on Sunday, March 27, an otherwise uneventful broadcast was shaken to its core after eventual Best Actor Winner Will Smith stepped to presenter Chris Rock and slapped him in a blatant act of performative outrage and selfishness. The cause? Rock making what some deemed a tasteless crack comparing Smith’s spouse, Jada Pinkett-Smith, to Demi Moore’s bald and buff main character in the 1997 war drama G.I. Jane. After it happened, Smith returned to his seat, (as if nothing happened), dropped a few f-bombs in telling the assaulted comedian to keep Pinkett-Smith’s name out of his mouth. To Rock’s credit, he carried on in presenting eventual Best Documentary Film winner Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson with his award for Summer of Soul. But does anyone really remember what category was even being presented? Attendees were in shock at what happened, as were millions of viewers around

the world, many wondering if it was a pre-planned sketch given how surreal the entire scenario was. Nope. It was the real thing. In the end, bad behavior was rewarded (and I don’t mean Will Smith winning the Best Actor Oscar). The fact that Smith stepped onto the stage (after initially laughing at the joke) and committed assault on Rock for cracking a joke about PinkettSmith was disgraceful and should have gotten him escorted out. Particularly given the fact that it was done live, in front of a global audience. But God forbid the Academy show any stones during commercial break and tell Smith he had to go. And in the event he won his category, have someone else accept on his behalf. Instead, Smith got to receive his award. He acknowledged what happened in his acceptance speech, said he wanted to be a “vessel for peace” (um, what?!?) and apologized to the Academy (cause he obviously wants to be

invited back...as if they dared not invite him back). He didn’t offer up an apology to Chris Rock or Questlove, for humiliating the former, and spoiling the moment for the eventual Best Documentary winner. Not to mention his souring the mood for what was supposed to be a joyful event—the first live Oscar ceremony since this pandemic knee-capped the world. As if the actual incident wasn’t disturbing enough, Smith received a partial standing ovation when it was announced that he’d won the Best Actor Oscar. And in the aftermath, the pro-Will Smith spin began in earnest with fellow stars comforting him (for what, self-inflicted poor choices?), certain corners of the Twitterverse commending him for coming to his wife’s honor (due to Pinkett-Smith having alopecia, a medical condition we’re not even clear Rock knew she had) and the Academy issuing a weak-sauce statement about how it “...condemns the actions of Mr.

Smith at last night’s show” and “... explor[ing] further action and consequences in accordance with our bylaws, standards of conduct and California law.” Smith issued a written statement of apology to Rock the following day, but in the end, the Academy earned a big fail in not escorting Smith out during a commercial break. And while Smith’s actions were reprehensible, what’s most disconcerting is that there wasn’t immediate condemnation of this act. Instead, a huge segment of the populace in the aftermath were on board with normalizing Smith’s over-reactive act of violence. ESPN Football writer Bill Barnwell tweeted, “Think about how famous you have to be to walk onto the stage at the Oscars, slap the presenter in the face, sit back down, curse loudly at him twice and not get kicked out or stopped.” So it goes with entitlement, power and fame all wrapped up in a bow of toxic masculinity. —Dave Gil de Rubio

What The World Needs Now When I was a young child, Mom often listened to WGBB for music and weather. Dad had purchased a band radio for her so that she could listen to her beloved station, which had a better sound quality than her little transistor that she won from Sinclair Gas. Dad often fiddled with the stations before any road trips taken, which often meant that we heard NOAA weather reports before we even got into the car.

hours and the faint “echo” behind the almost robotic voice of the announcer. One of the songs that was frequently played on WGBB through the speakers of that yellow band radio was a little number called, “What the World Needs Now is Love.” The tune, which was written by Hal David with music by Burt Bacharach, was recorded in 1965 by Jackie DeShannon. It is interesting that the song was originally offered to Dionne Warwick, she of the golden voice, who turned it down. Dionne felt

the song was too country and “preachy” for her tastes, though she did record it for an album she released the following year. In 1971, a disc jockey by the

Passover’s More Passionate Way Every year, during the festival of Passover we read the well-known biblical scroll of Shir HaShirim or Song of Songs. It is, bar none, the most romantic and beautiful love song ever written. It’s very title, Song of Songs, claims itself to be the ultimate, unparalleled praise. This magnificent piece of literary genius, filled with sensual overtones and passion, is King Solomon’s gift to the world. At face value, it is a fiery story of two lovers. Yet, in the ancient Talmud it was explained that the song is the “holy of holies” symbolizing the deep love between our Creator and us. Scrutinized, studied and adored for thousands of years, Song of Songs is considered a classic by scholars of both the Bible and literature.

Why has this book, which we read each year during Passover, withstood the test of time? What secrets are revealed in King Solomon’s writings?

RABBI MOSHE WEISBLUM

Composed approximately 3,100 years ago, it was written 480 years after the Exodus from Egypt, inspired by the completion of the First Temple. Its author, King Solomon, great-grandson of the biblical Ruth, whose own book we read on the festival of Shavuot, and son of King David and Bathsheba, was born around 1,000 BCE. We learn that he

became king at the age of 12 and died at the age of 52 years. He accomplished a great deal during his short life. Many will be impressed by the fact that he maintained one thousand wives! the most famous being the daughter of Pharaoh. The First Temple in Jerusalem is known as Solomon’s Temple, its construction having begun in the fourth year of his reign and reaching completion seven years later. We read in the Kabbalah book of Zohar, “and all the upper and lower worlds were complete.” It was the completion of the First Temple that became the inspiration for writing Song of Songs. Solomon’s impressive résumé includes prophet, architect, author and judge, in addition to ruler. His wealth and power were enormous. He is credited with writing two additional books, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes (Kohelet). Solomon is also credited with composing several verses in the Book of Psalms (Tehillim).

What is the connection between Passover and Song of Songs? The Song of Songs is symbolic of the ‘love affair’ between our Creator and us. It expresses the powerful yearning of us and our Heavenly Father for a close relationship with each other. The expression of the symbolic “becoming married” to our Creator which was manifested during the Exodus and formed a union, a bond, a partnership with the Holy One. Song of Songs is a passionate

story, a true love story, at times erotic and suggestive of physical bonding and contentment. As the woman in the story goes in search of her lost beloved, he is never out of sight of her, just like our Creator never loses sight of each of us. When the Jewish nation rejected the Almighty’s majesty by idolizing the golden calf at Mt. Sinai, He forgave them and never quit his relationship with them. Similarly, when a partner in a marriage may disappoint the other, the marriage itself does not have to fail. Marriage is a holy union, a three-way bond between a woman, a man and the Almighty. These writings teach us about the potential of love that exists between us and our Creator. The words resonate in our hearts and offer clarity, insight and guidance. By reading this masterpiece, may we be blessed to view life in a happier, healthier and more passionate way. Happy Passover.

medical supplies to be shipped overseas. The Town of Oyster Bay has set up collection boxes in Oyster Bay and Bethpage for those who wish to help. It has been said that in a crisis, humans rise to meet the needs of others during challenging times. Michelle Dean said that “Crisis forces commonality of purpose on one another.” Jawaharlal Nehru has been credited with stating, “Every little thing counts in a crisis.” Depeche Mode sang, “Everything Counts in Small Amounts.” These are the times

that define us as a species, and it is important not to turn a blind eye to the plights of our fellow humans. It doesn’t matter if it’s a prayer, a box of medical masks or a monetary donation. Every little bit helps to make the world a brighter place. Several years ago, I started a page for women who were interested in crafting hats for charity. We donated several hundred hats to two different organizations. Yesterday, I called the troops to order. We will be creating hats and scarves to donate to the people of Ukraine. It might not be much, but puts good vibes out there, which is something for which we are sorely in need. I heard Tom Clay’s remix yesterday as I flipped through the stations on my radio. I listened carefully to the words and realized that no matter how large or small, anything offered in the name of love can be enough to overcome the shadows of darkness. Emily Dickinson said that “Hope is the thing with feather.” May we allow Hope to perch within our own souls and allow it to sing a tune without words that never stops at all. May we overcome the hatred, may we offer love to all, and may we take care of each other with love and justice for all. Patty Servidio is an Anton Media Group columnist.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE name of Tom Clay recreated the song as a remix known as “What the World Needs Now is Love/ Abraham, Martin and John”. The song, which was a compilation of Dion’s “Abraham, Martin and John” and DeShannon’s “What the World Needs Now is Love” took on a life of its own and reached number eight on Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1971. If you recall, the song also offered snippets of speeches by JFK, Ted Kennedy during his eulogy of brother Robert, and Martin Luther King, Jr. It also was the one song when played on the airwaves that consistently made me cry. Fast forward to 2022, where hate crimes abound and war rages in Eastern Europe. To say that I never thought in a million years that we would be here today is an understatement. Skyrocketing inflation, prices at the pumps and a continuing pandemic only add fuel to an already out-of-control raging fire. My husband is glued to the television set, his only respite our daily hikes in nature. He immediately returns to the screen, his eyes riveted to the horrific scenes of rubble and despair found in the eyes of the Ukrainian people. My heart breaks every time I walk into the living room, especially because yet again, a megalomaniac with

too much power and money decided that he wanted to live by the old saying, “The one with the most toys at the end of the game is the winner.” It disgusts and infuriates me, especially when folks have been forced from their homes and are scrambling for safety in bomb shelters and subway stations. To hope that there is a home for which they can return is a hope that almost seems too far away to become realized. As I watched broadcasts of bombed out hospitals, I heard

the refrain, “It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of” in my heart. I asked my husband to find something positive to watch and he switched the station to find something that brought some comfort. That was when we saw scores of Long Islanders who were making a difference. Throughout Long Island, start-up fundraisers have begun for those displaced by this senseless war.

ow do you dispose of grass clippings after mowing the lawn? Do you... · Put them in the garbage? · Put them on the curb for collection? · Compost them? Leaving your grass clippings on the lawn benefits the environment by reducing the amount and frequency of fertilizer application. Grass clippings are 80 percent water and contain two to four percent nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients. This is also good for you (lower fertilizer costs). Leaving the grass clippings will improve your lawn. The clippings return nutrients to the soil resulting in healthier turf. It also saves time, since the grass is no longer bagged, fewer stops are required. Leaving the clippings also reduces the amount of garbage you throw out. Grass clippings can account for as much as 10 percent of the garbage we produce.

How To “Leave It On The Lawn”

Allow your grass to grow to three inches and then cut no more than one inch off the top. This is the “one-third” rule. This helps develop a deeper root system which is a natural defense against weeds, disease and drought. During fast growing periods you may have to cut the grass every four to seven days

Common Questions

1. Do grass clippings cause thatch? No. Thatch is an accumulation of the “woody” parts of the grass plant: stems, roots and stolons, not the clippings. Thatch is most often caused by over-watering and over-fertilizing. 2. Isn’t it more work to mow the lawn often enough to keep the clippings short? No. Cutting grass before it is overgrown is easier and faster. Eliminating the time and effort it takes to bag clippings further shortens the mowing time. 3. What if my lawn grows too high between mowings to leave the clippings? You have several options. You may mow over the clippings to further shred and scatter them. You may raise the mower height so only the top third of the grass blade is removed and then gradually lower the mower height over the span of several mowings. 4. Do I need a mulching mower? No. Mulching blades and adaptor kits are available for many types of lawn mowers. When it is time to replace your mower, consider purchasing an electric mulching mower.

An Expat’s Guide To The Best Golf Courses On Long Island BY JORDAN FULLER

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

ecently moved to Long Island? If you’re a golfer, you’re probably going to be wondering where you can play a great round nearby.

The good news is, there are plenty of excellent golf courses around Long Island. Unfortunately, many of them are private courses with access for members and their guests only, although they’re well worth playing if you find a member of the golfing community willing to take you along for a round. This is our expat’s guide to the best golf courses in Long Island. Although one or two are private courses that are just too good to pass up, most of those on this list are public courses that you can head to at any time for some great golf. Let’s check them out.

Best for Experienced Golfers

Bethpage State Park Black Course A list of Long Island golf courses wouldn’t be complete without Bethpage Black. However, it’s certainly not for everyone—it’s one of the most difficult courses you’ll find, so we advise only giving it a go if you’re experienced and looking for a proper challenge. It’s a parkland layout with impressive trees scattered throughout, beautiful bunkering, a treacherous rough, and just a single water hazard, despite its difficulty level. The fairways may be extremely challenging, but surprisingly, the well-protected greens are very flat. The signature hole is the 517-yard, par-5 4th, which features dual doglegs and tricky bunkers that challenge you from shot one. And the best thing is that this course is open to the public, so if you’re looking for a challenging round of golf for an experienced golfer, this is definitely the one.

Best Public Course

Eisenhower Park Golf Course An all-American golf course, Eisenhower Park features red, white, and blue golf courses, each with fun and challenges of their own. It’s been around for a long time, with the most famous course—Red—hosting the PGA Championships back in the 1920s.

As well as the three championship courses, the park also features four executive courses of 9 holes each, which allows golfers to get in some gameplay without having to commit to a full 18 holes. This is ideal for those who are short on time, looking for a relaxed, fun round or still learning. Alternatively, the 60-by driving range is a good choice for working on your swing.

Best for All Levels

Swan Lake Golf Club Swan Lake Golf Club features an 18-hole layout that’s varied enough to present fun and challenge for golfers of all levels. Spacious, sweeping fairways and notoriously oversized greens grace every hole. Add some strategically-placed sand traps and water hazards on half the holes, and you’ve got an interesting and exciting course. This layout makes the course suitable for golfers of every level of ability. Amateur golfers will enjoy the wide-openness of the course, while there’s still enough hazards to be challenging for more experienced golfers.

Great for the Whole Family

Peninsula Golf Course If you’re looking for something to do with the whole family that involves a round of golf, Peninsula Golf Course is a great place to spend a few hours. The course is just nine holes, but it’s enough for a quickfire round or a game with the family. You can also take a group golf lesson with the resident PGA professional. They also offer after-school programs if your kids are serious about learning. You can have breakfast or lunch at the resident cafe, Rita’s, either before or after your round. You can also hold events here, so it’s a great spot for a golf-themed party. Take note that you will need to make a reservation online if you want to play a round of golf, as they don’t accept walk-ins.

only, so if you want to play here, you’ll need an invite. The links-style golf course is laid out on rolling hills and although there’s only one water hazard on the entire course, every hole has its own exciting challenge. The signature 7th Redan-style hole is famous for its small, tricky putting surface that slopes severely from right to left. Another thing that adds challenge to this course is the prevailing Atlantic wind, which requires calculated strategy and patience to conquer.

Conclusion

Although our expat’s guide to the best golf courses in Long Island focuses mainly on public golf courses, there are plenty more private golf courses that you may be able to join someone at for a round. If you’re looking for a golf club to join, we highly recommend getting involved in the local golfing community so you can find a chance of getting a round in. Join the Facebook groups, talk to local golfers, and try to play as many of them as possible so you can find the course that you truly love and can call home. In the meantime, see how many of these courses you can play and let us know which was your favorite. Jordan Fuller is an experienced golfer who’s played on courses across the country.

Celebrate Spring With Beefeater Gin

ith St. Patrick’s Day celebrations just barely past us and spring in the air now is a great time to shift gears from pubs and beer to brightened bars and fresh, clean gin cocktails. Beefeater Gin recently tapped award-winning bartender Matt Chavez (pictured, right) of Ci Siamo on 33rd Street in Manhattan (previously The NoMad) to use Beefeater—the world’s most award-winning gin—to create a signature cocktail you are going to want to sip all spring long. Chavez describes the drink as bright, grassy, sweet, with notes of slight citrus and a hint of spice brought out by the ginger beer. Check out the recipe.

SWEET GALE

Ingredients .25 oz. simple syrup .5 oz. fresh lime juice .5 oz. Suze Gentian liqueur .75 oz. celery juice 1.5 oz. Beefeater Gin .5 oz. ginger beer Shake simple syrup, lime juice, liqueur, celery juice and Beefeater gin in a cocktail shaker tin. Add ginger beer.

Spring Has Sprung… Let’s Garden BY KAREN MUSGRAVE

Vegetable beds need prep.

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

arly April is the perfect time to get outdoors and prepare your landscape for the warmer days ahead. Every space from the lawn to the vegetable garden requires us to think about what each area will need well in advance. Spring is your chance to start the season off on the right foot.

makes for quick and easy work. Unless absolutely necessary, do not prune plants that bloom in spring and early summer. You can prune them later after they finish flowering in early summer.

SPRING CLEANING A proper clean-up is the easiest way to make your landscape appear spring-ready. Rake up leaves and other debris that may have collected in the beds over the winter. This can be accomplished with a large rake for lawn areas and a smaller, spring-action rake or garden hoe for the areas around trees and shrubs. I tend to wait until after St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th) to begin work, but any time the weather is nice is a good opportunity to garden.

LAWN CARE We all want to have a thick, lush, weedfree lawn that is the envy of our neighbors. Now is the best time to seed bare spots in your lawn with a quality grass seed. Resume mowing only when your grass is actively growing. For spring, the mower blade height should be set to 2½ - 3 inches.

is not required for all lawns every year. It’s best to first test your soil’s pH and see if you need it. Lawns prefer a pH range of 6.2 to 6.8 (6.5 is optimum). A proper pH helps your grass to better absorb fertilizers and other trace elements, which leads to a healthier lawn with fewer weeds and less fungus issues. pH testing kits are available at most major garden centers.

Top Five Places For Bird Watching On Long Island

pringtime is officially upon us. But we’re not the only ones who are ready to enjoy the nice weather. Our feathery friends are too and here are some local places where you can spot them on the island.

1. CENTENNIAL GARDENS

Downy woodpecker (Photos by Frank Virga)

Located in Floral Park, this 12-acre parcel of land serviced the residents of the Village of Floral Park for more than 70 years as an active storm basin. After years of deciding on how to reinvent the active storm basin, the village converted a portion of a storm basin into a bird sanctuary and special planting area. Centennial Gardens is the perfect place to spot some of your favorite birds including robins, cardinals, starlings, blue jays, morning doves, mockingbirds, gold finches and many more. Centennial Gardens is open daily and located at 251 Floral Pkwy. in Floral Park.

Cedar waxwing

2. COLD SPRING HARBOR STATE PARK Cold Spring Harbor State Park is another great choice to spot birds. The park is comprised of 40-acres of hilly terrain that offer scenic views of Cold Spring Harbor and is also ideal for observing spring and fall migrations of a variety of songbirds. Cold Spring Harbor State Park is home to great horned owls and redtailed hawks and serves as the northern trailhead of the Nassau Suffolk Greenbelt Trail that extends to Bethpage State. The Cold Spring Harbor State Park is located at 95 Harbor Rd. in Cold Spring Harbor.

3. GARDEN CITY BIRD SANCTUARY

Black-capped chickadee

Similar to Floral Park’s Centennial Gardens, Garden City’s Bird Sanctuary was a former storm water basin. After redevelopment of the area, the bird sanctuary is now is a seven-acre community nature preserve and is managed by The Garden City Bird Sanctuary, Inc., a certified nonprofit organization. Some of the birds that can possibly be seen include the American crow, the Northern cardinal, red-tailed hawk, ruby-throated hummingbird and more. The main entrance is opposite 181 Tanners Pond Rd. in Garden City.

Long Island Rays Are The True Boys Of Summer

Senior baseball teams looks to expand playing opportunities for adult ball players

he late Jim Bouton once said, “A ballplayer spends a good piece of his life gripping a baseball, and in the end, it turns out that it was the other way around all the time.” So it goes for Ray Shah, the founding member and player with the Long Island Rays, a Long Island-based men’s senior baseball team. Launched in 2012, the Rays are a group of 45 and over former baseball players continuing in what Shah says are, “...our dreams of playing the game we all love… we play across Nassau and Suffolk counties as well as participate in regional and national baseball tournaments.” Featuring a squad of between 17 and 18 players, the Rays got its start when Shah was approaching the half-century mark about a decade ago when he decided he wanted to focus on the game he loved. Both his sons were lefty pitchers and through their grade-school years, the Sunnyside native spent their grade school years watching them play and occasionally catching them. As his kids aged out, Shah admitted having an itch to start playing again. After trying out and making a team as a pitcher, he bounced around to a couple of teams that folded before deciding to start one of his own. Over

At this point, the team has an interesting assortment of players aged 45 and over, including a father/ son player duo. “I am proud of where we are today as we have two former professional baseball coaches on our roster,” Shah explained. “All in all, we have a great group of guys for our 45+ team. We have a family environment. Families come to watch us play. We have retired NYPD, NYFD, business owners, teachers and other professionals on our team—which makes for great post-game conversations in the parking lots. And our very first father/son player combo is precisely what makes senior baseball so special.. a son playing on a same team with the person that taught them the game of

baseball… things like this is what makes playing baseball at our age so very special.” The Rays try to keep baseball on a year-round schedule. Winter workouts that run from January through March give way to outdoor practices conducted at their home park of Greenlawn Park in the Town of Huntington until the start of the season, which is typically mid to late-April. The regular season goes into July, with games being played at the teams throughout Long Island. Fall ball goes into November, with the year wrapping up with the team competing in a national tournament down in West Palm Beach, FL. It’s a dream come true for many of the Rays players. “These tournaments are played at professional venues,” Shah pointed out. “We will be playing at the spring training facility

for the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals. As kids, we dreamed of playing in a professional stadium. Now, at our progressive age, we actually get to pitch from the same mound as Garret Cole did and hit in the same batter’s box as Aaron Judge does… this whole experience is about being a kid all over again—for those of us that played baseball in our youth and were never a part of a game at these stadiums.” The next major stretch of games the Rays are set to play in is the Eisenhower Park Spring Tournament, which is being managed by LI Midweek Baseball. It’s being held on the April 8-10 weekend and benefits LS Wounded Warriors and Men’s Breast Cancer Awareness. With most of the Rays players in their early-mid 50’s with a few exceptions of a couple of 45-year old “kids,” Shah is on a major recruitment mission to add a new older group of players (age 54+). Anyone making the cut can expect to play in several different tournaments across several different leagues that are local, regional and national during the course of the year. Shah is encouraging former players to get back in the saddle. “I am sure there are a lot of ‘old’ guys sitting around that may want to dust off their baseball gloves and bats and play the game we all love so much,” he said. The Long Island RAys will be playing as part of the Eisenhower Park Spring Tournament from April 8-10. Visit www. liraysbaseball.com to find out more about the Long Island Rays.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S REPORT

Brooklyn Man Convicted In Deadly 2019 Hempstead Shooting James Wilson convicted of murder and other charges in the shooting death of 28-year-old Matthew Gilreath

assau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly announced that a Brooklyn man was convicted of murder and other charges in a fatal shooting in Hempstead in February 2019. Thirty-eight-year-old James Wilson was convicted after a jury trial before Judge Howard Sturim of second-degree murder (an A-I felony) and two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (a C violent felony). He is due back in court for sentencing on May 24, where he faces a potential maximum sentence of up to 40 years to life in prison. The jury deliberated for less than two hours before reaching their verdict. “There is no dispute that James

Wilson intended to kill Matthew Gilreath, after firing six shots in rapid succession—two aimed directly at the victim’s face and head—as they argued in the doorway of 100 Terrace Ave.,” Donnelly said. “We are pleased

with the jury’s verdict and that Wilson will be held accountable for this senseless murder.” Donnelly said on Feb. 18, 2019, at approximately 2:44 a.m., the victim, 28-year-old Matthew Gilreath, was standing in the doorway of 100 Terrace Ave. in Hempstead when an argument broke out with the defendant. Wilson fired six shots, striking Gilreath twice in the head and continued to fire as Gilreath’s body was falling to the ground. The defendant was also shot once in the abdomen by the victim during the altercation. Following the shooting, co-defendant 34-year-old Raphael Carter of Hempstead, took the gun from Wilson and brought it to his apartment. The weapon was

never recovered. Gilreath was taken to Nassau University Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead. The defendant was treated for his gunshot wound at NYU Winthrop Hospital. Following an investigation, Wilson was arrested on Feb. 18, 2019, and Carter was arrested on Feb. 20, 2019, by members of the Nassau County Police Department. Carter pled guilty on Jan. 30,

2020 to third-degree criminal possession of a weapon (a D violent felony) and tampering with physical evidence (an E felony). He was sentenced on Sept. 3, 2020. Senior Litigation Counsel Ania Pulaski of the Homicide Bureau is prosecuting this case.

to you, and others around may be oblivious to the urgent beckoning. Even so, answer the call when you get it. This takes courage because it requires you to run headlong into the unknown. But you can trust that you’re the one, and the time is right.

Solution: 17 Letters

WORD FIND

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You won’t be able to start up where you left off because you left off everywhere at once. This isn’t a linear process like climbing a ladder or building a brick wall. This is immersion in an endless ocean, and this week, it’s enough just to stay afloat. Relax and experience where you are.

Bugs and bites

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Success depends on sensing the difference between reality, augmented reality and just plain lies. Something to take with you into the jungle of marketing and social media: Just because a saying is witty doesn’t mean it’s true. But if the statement is so funny you can’t stop laughing, there must be truth in it.

Solution: 17 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll think about what to wear and the right topics to talk about. You’ll keep conversation starters at the ready and cue into other people’s needs and wants. These are the considerations of a person who cares about creating smooth interactions and winning impressions. Your efforts will work brilliantly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As much as you try to stay out of the drama, it finds you this week. There’s something good about this. For starters, you need conflict to have a story. So, when you go for ease but happen to get friction instead, at least you’ll have an interesting, entertaining and/or informative anecdote to share later. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is easier to commit yourself to a task when you can see its parameters and sense how much time, effort and emotional investment will be needed. Undefined tasks, on the other hand, are scary. This week, be clear about what you’re asking of others and what you are agreeing to. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re creative, so you can make any game work. But the right challenge will elevate you effortlessly. You deserve this. You will find tremendous success with activities and pursuits that fit with your style. To honor your gifts, seek competition at your level. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your powers of observation are keen. Status quo doesn’t fool your eye. You look deeper, spot the flaws, notice what was missed. There are many opportunities before you, ripe for the taking. Where there is something to say, an idea to develop or a connection to make, you will pick it up and run with it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It takes a certain maturity to realize that behavior is mostly made up of choices. The less mature are compelled to act in ways that feel mandatory, but this is mostly conditioning. The reaction that seems to come automatically is but one possibility. This week, you’ll see more options and experiment accordingly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You want something but you don’t know why. Perhaps the reason is primal, soul deep, or it belongs to a future known only to your intuition. In any regard, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone, why shouldn’t you have what you want? Trust yourself, even those mysterious parts of you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your project comes to what has potential to be a sticking point, but you won’t get stuck there if you keep moving. Even small steps, nudges or just leaning forward is better than stopping. Do not lie down. Do not quit. Momentum is a hard thing to drum up from scratch. Once you have it, don’t waste it.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You can afford to give yourself more credit. And if you add more pleasure, self-acceptance and fun to that list, you’ll be giving yourself just what you need to make this one of the best to date. You’ll deal in tricky realms where making things happen will require a strategy. You’ll set yourself up closer to the action and gain power and influence. You’ll pour your love into those who need it and be enriched by their blossoming. As well as being deeply satisfying, working to see others thrive will lead to adventure. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM
