Town Plans Program To Enhance School Bus Safety Town of North Hempstead Council Member Robert Troiano has announced a plan to promote student safety. Numerous studies have shown that drivers violate NYS state law by passing stopped school busses as students board and unboard, putting children at risk. It has been estimated that more than 17 million stopped school busses are passed each year through the country, resulting in more than 136,000 injuries and over 1,000 fatalities over the last 10 years. Troiano’s plan includes educational videos to teach children how to safely cross a street, to get on or off a bus, as well as awareness programs to inform drivers about the perils of illegally passing a school bus. The plan also makes heavy use of technology proven to alter driver behavior. The plan has the potential to equip every school bus in the Town of North Hempstead with stateof-the-art recording systems to capture video of vehicles in the act of passing a stopped bus and automatically issuing a notice to the vehicle owner. “Our number one priority as elected officials has always been the health and safety of the residents of the Town of North Hempstead,” said Council Member Troiano. “This initiative is a no-brainer. Impatient drivers who knowingly put our students’ lives at risk by illegally passing a stopped school bus must be held accountable. It is unconscionable that this problem persists,
but it is our goal with our upcoming school bus safety program to educate drivers and eliminate any harm that could come to our students.” The plan could also offer parents an app that will allow them to track the location of their child’s bus and enable them to watch their child board and exit the bus. School districts that opt-in will have the capability to access data measuring the safe driving performance of the driver. Troiano’s experience as the Westbury School Board President makes him uniquely qualified to champion this initiative. Implementation of the plan will begin this month with the issuance of a Request For Proposals (RFP) by the Town to procure a vendor who will develop the educational components of the plan and install the required technology. Subsequently, the Town will hold a hearing to consider opting-in to New York State Law-Section 1174-A at the June 16 Town Board meeting. Opting-in would authorize the Town of North Hempstead to create a school bus safety program, and school districts would be given the opportunity to choose to opt-in to this program. For more information, please visit www. northhempsteadny.gov or call 311 or 516869-6311. —Submitted by the Town of North Hempstead

COVER STORY
Have Food Allergies? Read The Label
F
ood labels can help consumers with food allergies avoid foods or ingredients that they or their families are allergic to. This is because a federal law, the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004, requires that the labels of most packaged foods marketed in the U.S. disclose—in simple-to-understand terms—when they are made with a “major food allergen.” Eight foods and ingredients containing their proteins are defined as major food allergens. These foods account for the large majority of severe food allergic reactions: • milk • egg • fish, such as bass, flounder or cod • crustacean shellfish, such as crab, lobster or shrimp • tree nuts, such as almonds, pecans or walnuts • wheat • peanuts • soybeans The law requires that food labels identify the food source of all major food allergens used to make the food. This requirement is met if the common or usual name of an ingredient already identifies that allergen’s food source name (for example, buttermilk). Otherwise, the allergen’s food source must be declared at least once on the food label in one of two ways. The name of the food source of a major allergen must appear: • In parentheses following the name of the ingredient. Examples: “lecithin (soy),” “flour (wheat),” and “whey (milk)” • Immediately after or next to the list of ingredients in a “contains” statement. Example: “Contains wheat, milk and soy.” “So first look for a ‘Contains’ statement and if your allergen is listed, put the product back on the shelf,” said Carol D’Lima, food technologist with the Office of Nutrition and Food Labeling at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). “If there is no ‘Contains’ statement, it’s very important to read the entire ingredient list to see if your allergen is present. If you see its name even once, it’s back to the shelf for that food too.”
Food labels can help consumers with allergies avoid foods or ingredients. There are many different ingredients that contain the same major food allergen, but sometimes the ingredients’ names do not indicate their specific food sources. For example, casein, sodium caseinate and whey are all milk proteins. Although the same allergen can be present in multiple ingredients, its “food source name” (for example, milk) must appear in the ingredient list just once to comply with labeling requirements. Sesame is not a major food allergen under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004, but the FDA recently issued a draft guidance document to encourage manufacturers to clearly declare sesame in the ingredient list. In most cases, sesame does have to appear in
the ingredient statement; an exception is when sesame is part of a flavoring or spice or if a
term is used for a food like tahini that is, or contains, sesame. In those cases, it may be declared as simply “spice” or “flavor” on
the label, so consumers may not know sesame is present.
“Contains” and “May Contain” Have Different Meanings
If a “Contains” statement appears on a food label, it must include the food source names of all major food allergens used as ingredients. For example, if “whey,” “egg yolks,” and a “natural flavor” that contained peanut proteins are listed as ingredients, the “Contains” statement must identify the words “milk,” “egg” and “peanuts.” Some manufacturers voluntarily include a separate advisory statement, such as “may contain” or “produced in a facility,” on their labels when there is a chance that a food allergen could be present. A manufacturer might use the same equipment to make
different products. Even after cleaning this equipment, a small amount of an allergen (such as peanuts) that was used to make one product (such as cookies) may become part of another product (such as crackers). In this case, the cracker label might state “may contain peanuts.” Be aware that the “may contain” statement is voluntary, said D’Lima. “Not all manufacturers use it.”
When in Doubt, Leave It Out
Manufacturers can change their products’ ingredients at any time, so D’Lima said it’s a good idea to check the ingredient list every time you buy the product—even if you have eaten it before and didn’t have an allergic reaction. “If you’re unsure about whether a food contains any ingredient to which you are sensitive, don’t buy the product, or check with the manufacturer first to ask what it contains,” said D’Lima. “We all want convenience, but it’s not worth playing Russian roulette with your life or that of someone under your care.” —U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Unexplained Hepatitis Outbreak Reported A recent unexplained outbreak of acute, severe hepatitis in children has made the recognition of acute hepatitis in all age groups important for the benefit of individual and societal health. Acute hepatitis or inflammation of the liver is usually caused by either a virus, alcohol, an autoimmune condition or a prescribed or over-the-counter medication. Symptoms of acute hepatitis include fever, right upper quadrant pain, jaundice, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, dark urine, light-colored stools and joint pains. Most cases of acute viral hepatitis are self-limiting and do not require hospitalizations or specialized treatment. Common viruses which cause acute hepatitis are hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D, hepatitis E, Epstein Barr and cytomegalovirus. All these viruses can affect both children and adults. Hepatitis A and E are transmitted fecal-orally. Hepatitis B and D are primarily transmitted through sexual contact or the use of injection drugs such as heroin. Hepatitis C comes from infected blood products or any contact with blood such as needles, tattooing,

manicures, etc. Epstein Barr virus is transmitted mostly through saliva contact either through kissing or the sharing of the same cutlery or toothbrush. Cytomegalovirus is typically transmitted through direct contact with body fluids such as urine, saliva, semen and breast milk. Recently, more than 160 cases of acute hepatitis in children ages one month to 16 years have been reported in 12 countries, including the United States. One child has died and 17 of these infected children required a lifesaving,
emergency liver transplant. The severity of disease in children is highly unusual and prompted the Centers for Disease Control to alert physicians around the country to be on the lookout for cases of acute hepatitis in children. The most common cause of acute hepatitis in children is hepatitis A. None of these cases were caused by hepatitis A or any of the other common viral causes of acute hepatitis including COVID-19. These severe cases in children were caused by an adenovirus which has not previously been reported to cause such severe disease. Adenoviruses spread from person to person and typically are associated with the “common cold”. These viruses usually cause respiratory symptoms but they can cause gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis or pink eye and bladder infections. There are no specific treatments for the acute hepatitis caused by adenovirus. Treatment is given for symptoms. It is important for parents and caregivers to be aware of the signs and symptoms of acute hepatitis. Children should be vaccinated against hepatitis B and parents and caregivers should also consider hepatitis A vaccination.
How can someone prevent getting acute hepatitis? Simple common sense actions such as frequent handwashing, avoiding people who are sick, covering coughs and sneezes, avoiding touching the eyes, nose and mouth and wearing a mask if you have symptoms, may lessen the
likelihood of either getting sick or passing your infection to someone else. These simple behavioral modifications can help keep you and your children safe from acute viral infections which cause hepatitis. —David Bernstein, MD, MACG, FAASLD, AGAF, FACP

But mental health conditions, resources and conversations can still feel complicated and out of reach. Are there common warning signs for mental health conditions or crises? Specific factors that can lead to mental health conditions or even crises? What resources are out there—and how do I know if they’re right for me? Many people are learning about mental health topics for the first time. Having a widespread understanding of the topic can help you be more informed if you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health condition or crisis. Around half of people in the U.S. will meet the criteria for a diagnosable mental health condition at some point in their life, so everyone should know what to look out for. Everyone should have the support needed to thrive. Communities that have been historically and presently oppressed face a deeper mental health burden because of the added impact of
trauma, oppression and harm. There’s often no one single cause for a mental health condition. Instead, there are many possible risk factors that can influence how likely a person is to experience a mental health condition or how serious the symptoms may be. Some risk factors for mental health conditions include: trauma, which can be a one-time event or ongoing; your environment and how it impacts your health and quality of life (also known as social determinants of health like financial stability and health care access); genetics; brain chemistry; and your habits and lifestyle such as a lack of sleep. Of course, understanding the risk factors for a mental health condition can be more difficult when it’s your own mental health. Take time to ask yourself about your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to see if this is part of a pattern that may be caused by a mental health condition. Here are some questions to get you started: • Have things that used to feel easy started feeling difficult? • Does the idea of doing daily tasks like making your bed now feel really, really hard? • Have you lost interest in activities and
hobbies you used to enjoy? • Do you feel irritated, possibly to the point of lashing out at people you care about? Our society focuses much more on physical health than mental health, but both are equally important. If you are concerned about your mental health, there are several options available. You are not alone—help is out there and recovery is possible. It may be hard to talk about your concerns, but simply acknowledging to yourself that you’re struggling is a really big step.
Taking a screening at www.mhascreening.org can help you to better understand what you are experiencing and get helpful resources. After that, consider talking to someone you trust about your results and seek out a professional to find the support you need. While you may not need this information today, knowing the basics about mental health will mean you’re prepared if you ever need it.

Roe Overturned?
Local pols weigh in on national issue JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com
L
ast week, the media became inflamed with news of a leaked Supreme Court majority opinion draft overturning the 1973 Roe vs. Wade abortion decision. Local politicians, as you might guess, rushed into cyberspace to express their opinions. In the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health case, the court is expected to decide in June on the constitutionality of Roe. Politicians aren’t waiting until then. Reaction came in swiftly from the top down. “I am horrified by the apparent draft Supreme Court opinion leaked this evening that would overturn the right to abortion guaranteed by Roe vs. Wade,” Governor Kathy Hochul said. “For the sake of women across the country, this should not be the Supreme Court’s final opinion when it comes to abortion rights.

and where abortion is safe and accessible. Just as the Statue of Liberty lifts her lamp tall in our harbor, New York will never stop fighting for what’s right — unafraid and undeterred.” Senator Charles Schumer, who is that body’s majority leader, quickly announced plans to hold a vote on codifying Roe if indeed it is overturned. He called the leak as revealing a “dark and disturbing

day for America.” His senate counterpart, Senator Mitch McConnell, criticized the leak for happening at all. “I think the story today is an effort by someone on the inside to discredit the institution of the [Supreme Court,] which continues a pattern that we’ve observed over the last couple years,” he told members of the Washington press corps. McConnell would not
speculate on the impact of any final decision. “All of this puts the cart before the horse,” he said. “The leaked draft majority opinion overturning Roe vs. Wade reveals that the Supreme Court’s right-wing majority is poised to destroy the fundamental human and reproductive rights of millions of women, willfully disregarding public opinion and court precedent. While we can hold out hope for revisions, we cannot wait to act,” read a statement by U.S. Senator Kristin Gillibrand (D—NY). It continued, “At the federal level, Congress must enshrine into law the right to an abortion and Democrats must be willing to eliminate the filibuster to do so. As we approach the midterm elections, it is absolutely critical that Democrats turn out in record numbers to maintain our majorities. The American people do not support the government interfering with what people do with their own bodies.

the dark ages. Here in New York, we’re not going back, and we’re going to fight every day to make sure of that.” Assemblymember Charles Lavine (D-Glen Cove), who also represents the Roslyn area in the state capitol, was also quick to check in. “It was just yesterday that a major Long Island publication featured the critical issue of abortion rights and my proposed legislation which would protect New Yorkers from being criminally charged in anti-abortion states,” Lavine’s comments began. “Today, I am appalled by one of the most dangerous and abhorrent attacks on women’s rights and human rights in American history.

blasted the leak as an “egregious” breach of trust. The chief justice also ordered an investigation. By then, the train had left the station. According to Politico, Justice Samuel Alito, a nominee of President George W. Bush, penned the majority opinion. It runs 98 pages long, with a 31-page appendix of state abortion laws, plus no less than 118 footnotes. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” the draft stated. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.” “Roe expressed the ‘feel[ing]’ that the Fourteenth Amendment was the provision that did the work, but its message seemed to be that the abortion right could be found somewhere in the Constitution and that specifying its exact location was not of paramount importance,” Alito also wrote. Elsewhere, Alito maintained that “the inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and traditions.” “The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion,” the draft concluded. “Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.” When the Supreme Court releases the final draft this summer, it is certain to touch off political fireworks likely to last into this year’s political season and those to come.

The statement went on to read, “At the state level, Democrats must enact strong pro-choice legislation where we currently have control. In purple and red states, we must fight tooth and nail to flip legislatures and pass legislation guaranteeing reproductive rights, including access to abortion. There is no state where a majority of the public supports a federal ban on abortion. And with this fundamental right in jeopardy, it is incumbent upon states like New York, where abortion is safe and accessible, to open our doors to those seeking care. “We must refuse to back down or move backwards—the lives and futures of millions of Americans depend on us acting now,” the senator concluded. State Senator Anna M. Kaplan (D–North Hills) who represents much of the Roslyn area in Albany, released her own statement. “When we passed the Reproductive Health Act in New York State in 2019, people told us that we didn’t need to bother; that Roe v. Wade was the law of the land, and we had nothing to worry about it,” the statement began. “The other side went so far as to accuse us of political theater. But we took action because a woman’s right to choose is sacred and must be protected from those who would take our rights from us to further their own agenda. And today as we look out on the horizon of a post-Roe era, state laws are the last protection from a far-right Supreme Court, and extremist politicians who are hell-bent on sending us back into
It is very likely that the Trump Court will overturn Roe in the coming days, even though the anti-abortion justices promised the American people that they would not. Elections certainly have consequences. It will fall upon the states to provide the legal support for a woman’s right to reproductive freedom. While some states will suppress that freedom, I will never relent in fighting for reproductive health. Abortion rights are human rights. New Yorkers have a proud history of defending the rights of our people. We will not sit passively as states with authoritarian governments enact laws suppressing human rights. With more than 20 states passing such damaging laws in the last months, the people of the State of New York will not enable and empower those repressive and authoritarian regimes.” The case in question involves a Mississippi state law that bans the abortion procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The issue, as with others, breaks down along the usual Blue State/Red State divide. If Roe were overturned or at least curtailed, up to half the states in the Union would enact restrictions or outright bans. The Roe decision, as Hochul noted, is safe in New York. The same is true of the tri-state area, plus New England with the possible exception of New Hampshire. Along the northeast corridor, only Pennsylvania has a pro-life legislature. However, its current governor is a Democrat who would veto any pro-life proposals. The bombshell leak was delivered to Politico, a Washington, D.C.-based web site.

Reducing And Reusing Basics
he most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place. Making a new product emits greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change and requires a lot of materials and energy—raw materials must be extracted from the earth, and the product must be fabricated then transported to wherever it will be sold. As a result, reduction and reuse are the most effective ways you can save natural resources, protect the environment and save money.

Benefits of reducing and reusing
• Reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. • Prevents pollution caused by reducing the need to harvest new raw materials. • Saves energy. • Reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change. • Helps sustain the environment for future generations. • Reduces the amount of waste that will need to be recycled or sent to landfills and incinerators. • Allows products to be used to their fullest extent. • Saves money.
Ideas on how to reduce and reuse
• Think Green Before You Shop. Reduce associated greenhouse gas emissions by thinking
green when you shop. • Reduce your food waste by shopping smart, buying what you need, composting food scraps and donating unused food to food banks or shelters. More ways to reduce your impact. • Reuse or repurpose items such as old clothing, cloth grocery bags, and containers to prevent waste. • Buy used items to reduce waste as well as the emissions created by producing new materials or disposing of them in landfills. Donate unused clothing, electronics and building materials to make sure others can reuse them too. • Buy products made with recycled content. Check labels to see if a product or its packaging is made from recycled materials. • Know before you throw. Know what items your local recycling programExit Exit EPA website collects and encourage your household to recycle right and recycle more. • Learn about what else you can do at home, at school, at work and in your community. • Maintain and repair products, like clothing, tires and appliances, so that they won’t have to be thrown out and replaced as frequently. • Borrow, rent or share items that are used infrequently, like party decorations, tools or furniture. —Environmental Protection Agency EPA

The COVID-19 Scare Isn’t Over After two-plus years of home confinement, mask mandates, vaccination lines and all of the other inconveniences, the public is breathing a sigh of relief. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us experienced depression, grief, sadness, boredom, restlessness and daily mood swings. There is no doubt that things have gotten much better. People are attending events, planning vacations, enjoying the great outdoors and many of our friends and neighbors have gone back into their offices. But if you think COVID-19 is now a subject for the history books, you are sadly mistaken. Each and every day there are new alerts about the rising number of reported cases. New York City is a good case in point. During the latter half of the winter, city health officials reported that there were 1.8 million adults experiencing symptoms related to the latest strain of COVID-19. Nassau and Suffolk counties are the highest regions in the state for reported cases. Shanghai, China, a city of almost 25 million people, has been on lockdown for six weeks due to a surge in new cases. At the same time, Beijing, a city of 21 million, is wrestling with a decision on how far to go with lockdowns. The recent Gridiron Dinner, a popular event for Washington politicians, has turned out to have been a super spreader evening with numerous members of the president’s cabinet and the vice president testing positive. I have attended two weddings in the past month, where I subsequently learned that a large number of attendees experienced some version of the new variant. Luckily, I have tested negative but the stories are too close to home to ignore the perils of large gatherings. There is no sense looking to our political leaders for advice on what to do next. All of them are afraid of the backlash they would get if they proposed any mask mandates or moratoriums on public gatherings. I have little confidence in our national health officials who have been making inconsistent recommendations on how to avoid getting infected. With all of the current confusion about how to deal with the threat of getting sick, again the true answer is using your own common sense, as we approach the summer months.
INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer
If you are holding a private event, there is nothing wrong with asking your guests for proof of vaccination. If you are attending a function not under your control, you have to decide whether it’s worth the risk of accidental exposure. If you are riding in a car with some total strangers, it is OK to have a mask available. The same goes for riding on trains, airplanes and buses. There is no doubt that the big COVID-19 scare is slowly disappearing, but it doesn’t hurt to take some simple precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones.
With numerous variants and rising COVID-19 numbers, the pandemic is far from being a relic of the past. (Photo by HFCM Communicatie/ CC BY-SA 4.0)

TAKING COMMUNITY NEWS UP A NOTCH Community newspapers usually publish articles of local interest including calendars of upcoming events, classified ads, petty crimes and the occasional rants of self proclaimed local political pundits, but with the inclusion of Joseph Scotchie’s column, “A Heap of Broken Images” (May 4, 2022), the Anton Media Group has moved far beyond the purview of a community newspaper. Mr. Scotchie’s article on T.S. Eliot’s poem, “The Wasteland”, was throughly analyzed and researched. Particularly relevant to our times was Scotchie’s citing of Chilton Williamson’s interpretation of the poem in which Chilton explained how “The Wasteland” sought
to “…extend the western tradition of rationalism as opposed to irrationalism, beauty to ugliness, consonance to dissonance, style to carelessness and vulgarity, symmetry to asymmetry, erudition to ignorance, Christian faith to impiety.” Although published in 1922 and therefore technically not local news, “The Wasteland” is prescient to our times. It is a commentary on central issue of our times and the Anton Media Group should be commended for respecting its readers by publishing articles which teach, inspire and elevate. Quite a feat for a community newspaper. —Laurann Laurann Pandelakis

Happy 188th Anniversary Long Island Rail Road Let us all wish a Happy 188th Anniversary to the Long Island Rail Road. On April 24, 1834, the Long Island Rail Road was officially chartered by the State of New York. In 1900, the Pennsylvania Railroad bought a controlling interest as part of its plan for direct access to Manhattan which began on September 8, 1910. The Pennsylvania Railroad subsidized the LIRR into the late 1940s. This provided the financial basis for support of expansion and upgrades to service and infrastructure. At the end of World War Two, there began a decline of our LIRR with a corresponding loss of farebox revenues. The Pennsylvania Railroad began to reduce financial support as well. This played a part in the LIRR going into receivership in 1949. In recognition of the role the LIRR played in the economy of both Long Island and New York City, New York State began providing financial assistance to the LIRR in the 1950s and 1960s. The “Line of the Dashing Dan” was officially chartered on April 24, 1965 by the State of New York. Prior to 1965, the LIRR derived almost 100 percent of its funding for both capital and operating expenses from fares. Chartered by the State Legislature in 1965 as the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority (MCTA), it was created to purchase and operate the bankrupt LIRR. In 1966, New York State bought the railroad’s controlling stock from the Pennsylvania Rail Road and put it under the newly formed Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority. The MCTA changed its name to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in 1968, when it took over operations of the New York City Transit Authority. With MTA subsidies, the LIRR modernized further and grew into the busiest commuter railroad in the United States. Over the past 50 years, several billion dollars in combined county, city, state and federal taxpayers generated dollars have subsidized both the capital and operating costs for the LIRR.
PENNER STATION Larry Penner
Riders must remember that fare hikes are periodically required if the MTA is to provide the services millions of New Yorkers use daily. They are inevitable due to inflation, along with increasing costs of labor, power, fuel, supplies, materials, routine safety, state of good repair, replacement of wornout rolling stock, upgrades to stations, yards and shops along with system expansion projects necessary to run any transit system. Half-hour weekly and weekend service on the Port Washington LIRR branch is one reason many decide to live in Northeastern Queens and Great Neck.

Open, Arthur Ashe stadium, Flushing Meadow Park, Queens Zoo, Madison Square Garden activities and Broadway shows on a regular basis. Those of us in the know already moved to communities adjacent to LIRR Port Washington branch stations years or even decades ago. The Great Neck, Little Neck, Douglaston, Bayside and Auburndale neighborhoods are some of the best in the Metropolitan New York area. We have great air quality along with a low crime rate, abundant parks, libraries, shopping, entertainment, movie theaters, hospitals and medical facilities. Riders on the Port Washington branch have far more abundant seating and a quick 30 minute or less trip into Penn Station without having to change at Jamaica than LIRR commuters on other branches. Port Washington branch riders miss most service disruptions. Starting in December 2022,
LIRR will begin service to Grand Central Terminal via the $11.2 billion East Side Access project. In the end, quality and frequency of service is dependent upon secure revenue streams. We all have to contribute—be it at the fare box or tax revenues generated by different levels of government redistributed back to the MTA.

New York Blood Center Announces Blood Emergency N
232140 S
ew York Blood Center (NYBC) recently announced a blood emergency, as school spring breaks and holiday travel have caused an alarming drop in donations over the past six weeks. All blood types are low and type O is at just at a 1-to-2-day level. This shortage occurs amid increasing COVID-19 rates, which can be attributed to the highly contagious Omicron subvariant BA.2.12.1 that has been spreading rapidly throughout New York and surrounding areas. For example, New York City’s COVID transmission rate has increased 32 percent in the last 10 days. The city recently raised its COVID-19 alert level to medium as cases surpassed a rate of 200 per 100,000 people in the five boroughs. Hospitals and patients rely upon a steady flow of volunteer donors to receive life-saving blood donations, but the recent spike in cases and spring break travel have caused uncertainty. Donor participation has reached record lows at blood drives and donor centers. In the last six weeks, NYBC has seen approximately 6000 fewer blood donors versus earlier this year. “This time of the year always tends to be difficult for the blood supply, with school spring breaks and increased travel making blood donations less of a priority. These factors are now coinciding with increasing COVID cases and a potential fifth wave of the pandemic,” Senior Executive Director at New York Blood Center Senior Executive Andrea Cefarelli said. “One blood donation has the ability to save up to three lives. We highly encourage all who are able to donate today to help New Yorkers who need it most.” It only takes one hour to donate, and a single donation can save multiple lives. Roughly one in seven hospital admissions require a blood transfusion.

Air Force Vet Honored For Veteran Suicide Awareness & Prevention Efforts Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino, along with his colleagues on the town board, recently honored United States Air Force Veteran Kevin Hertell for his humanitarian efforts in veteran suicide awareness and prevention. Hertell is the founder of the nonprofit Suicide Awareness & Remembrance Flag Corporation (SARFLAG), an organization that memorializes the thousands of veterans who have died by suicide after returning home from duty. “Sadly, more than 100,000 veterans have taken their own lives since 2001 and it is time this epidemic is recognized,” Saladino said “These fallen veterans have no monument, no memorials, no adequate media coverage and little support. Kevin has designed a flag to honor them that currently flies in 13 states and now
will be on display here in the Town of Oyster Bay aside our POW Flag and Chair.” The flag also honors, unites and respects their families and builds awareness around removing the stigma associated with mental health and seeking treatment, serving as a reminder that “Not All Wounds are Visible.” Veterans facing mental health issues should call the Veteran’s Crisis Line at 1-800-273-8255, ext. 1; if you have hearing loss, call TTY: 1-800-799-4889. This hotline offers free and confidential support to all veterans, all service members, National Guard and Reserves and their family members and friends 24/7, 365 days a year. —Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay

Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 17 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.
What swims beneath Solution: 17 Letters
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Most people, at some point in life, struggle with feeling good enough for the situation at hand. While such assessments are a part of growing and knowing oneself, if you can figure out how to skip the self-evaluation this week, you’ll save yourself a lot of time and trouble. You’re more than enough, so dive in and handle it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). As Carl Jung suggested, the self is a “coincidentia oppositorum” -- both bright and dark and yet neither. Since it is impossible for a person to produce purely good or purely bad outcomes, don’t fret. You’ll complete 25 important things before the week is through, all with the best intentions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The contradictions stand defiantly before you, daring you to make sense of them. It’s a trick. They cannot be reasoned into a peaceful state. Stand back instead. These ideas are like the south side of two magnets: in a state of repellent instability that just might cause one side to flip. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Shouldn’t true love also be easy love? And yet, were it really so, there would be no love stories. This week, the plot thickens. The rules will be reviewed and possibly rewritten. Loyalties will be tested. You’ll learn more about the person you love and about yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you can’t figure out why something happened, it’s natural to go into mental overdrive trying to work it out. But people have acted on their feelings, and there may be no reason that will suffice. Get ready for exciting new happenings. Stop analyzing the last thing. Choose a takeaway. Put it to rest. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Communication conundrums will occur. When you don’t know what to say, you’re in a good place. You’re recognizing the complexity of the situation, the need for careful listening and discernment. A pause can be an invitation. People get in trouble overusing their lips, not for overusing their ears. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve known yourself to strive for a pure heart, clear mind and devout soul. You’ve also known yourself not to worry so much about it. Maybe the latter way suggests greater self-acceptance and a kinder overall demeanor. It’s a week of not trying, just being, and deciding that’s perfectly fine. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). More than any other time in history, people have come to expect to be entertained at every juncture. Your advantage is your curiosity. You don’t wait for others to captivate your attention. Instead, you find your own reasons to engage, which is a sign of special intelligence.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS
You’ve worked hard to become who you want to be and you enjoy the company of those on a similar trajectory of improvement. There have been times when you set the bar high to disappointing effect, but this year’s relationships will exceed your lofty expectations. You’ll create your own definition of success and live it. Things feel so much more satisfying when they come to you on your own terms. After some schooling, you’ll take on a fascinating and risky venture and see profits. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your natural curiosity and open-mindedness will take you to unusual places this week. You’ll accept things you don’t yet understand, and people will accept you before they understand you, too. This spirit of inclusivity -- an extension of trust and a willingness to learn one another -- keeps life interesting and fun.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s something good about whatever style you approach with this week. If you overthink things, at least you care, and you’ll probably come up with something the others missed. Underthinking shows trust in the universe, and it leaves room for people to help you, so connections get made. All will be well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Excellence in ordinary things is the accomplishment that matters more than any standout performance you could give. The only trouble is, this important work often goes unacknowledged, while flashier fetes garner attention and praise. Credit and cheer yourself on. Also, recognize the subtle, essential work of others.

HOROSCOPES By Holiday Mathis HOROSCOPES
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even as authentic as you are, there’s a performative aspect to socializing. It is, after all, an art form, and all art takes effort to master. You’ll put thought into your interactions. You’ll analyze what works and grow from what you learn. Picking the right people to share yourself with will be your first success key.

Tree Committee Walkthrough

ith Spring in bloom and Summer approaching, the Thomaston tree committee set out to ensure the community foliage is up to par. Two Thomaston members of the tree committee got together to tour the neighborhood, inspect village property trees and make notes on possible improvements. The committee is only advisory. Based on their tree research and existing tree inspection, the committee suggests improving and maintaining Thomaston trees to the Village Board. Tree committee members Lea Caplan and Victoria Lublin started their walk-through at the traffic island on Avalon Road. “There are several traffic islands in the Thomaston neighborhood,

but Avalon’s is the biggest,” said Caplan. “Avalon is in great need of being enhanced,” said Luplin. “The center island is an eyesore that needs to be remediated.” The committee inspected the traffic islands and trees on the village property with a neighborhood map, notepad, and the village code. The committee discussed

Having the village trim the vines and ivy to monitor its growth is a suggestion the committee plans to make. Beyond inspecting dead trees, the committee also worked to deA newly planted village tree.

The PAL players received instruction from USMMA senior athletes Shelby Bowman, Taylor Gilbertson and Juliet Vendl on bumping, setting, serving and hitting.
