Cleaning Up Our Community The Baxter’s Pond Foundation hosted a spring clean-up event JULIE PRISCO jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

n Saturday, May 7, the Baxter’s Pond Foundation held a Spring Clean-Up session. Despite the stormy weather, people still showed up to help support the pond and keep their community clean. The Baxter Pond Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 2003 to improve, maintain and beautify Baxter’s Pond and the area surrounding it. In addition to the clean-ups, the foundation has sponsored environmental education programs for the children in the Port Washington community. This past January, Kim and John Keiserman became co-presidents of the Baxter’s Pond Foundation. “My husband and I became co-presidents, and Nancy Comer, our predecessor, has done amazing work,” said Kim Keiserman. “She co-founded the organization and was president for 18 years. So we have big shoes to fill.” In the first few months of the Keiserman’s stepping into the role of co-presidents, they established frequent clean-up events where volunteers join the foundation to keep

Volunteers bundeled up for the clean-up. (Photo provided by Kim Kieserman) Baxter’s Pond looking fresh. “We’ve been working hard,” said Kim Keiserman. “We are having the [clean-ups] quarterly, and they have been successful. The one we had in March…actually got 40 people to show up, which is pretty amazing.” Due to the pouring rain and strong winds, the May clean-up only had eight people come to help out, but the Keisermans were happy anyone decided to bare the weather and show up. “We’ve had a lot of success at getting

our local elected officials to attend these clean-ups in the past,” said Kim Keiserman. Previously Assemblywoman Gina L. Sillitti attended a clean-up, and this May, Councilmember Mariann Dalimonte faced the storm and took part in cleaning up the pond. “Even if you have a small group of eight like we did that day, you can get a lot done,” said Kim Keiserman. “You really don’t need more than an hour to get the litter up.” “The litter is an issue in town, mostly because of inadequate containment of

garbage, not people purposely throwing it down on the roads,” said Kim Keiserman. “We do get quite a bit of [that trash] in Baxter’s Pond, and we find that the quarterly clean-ups have made a big difference.” The Keisermans, the Baxter’s Pond Foundation members, and other volunteers took time to collect trash on the surrounding land and in the pond itself. During previous clean-ups, a kayak and canoe would be brought out for volunteers to fish out plastic bags, soccer balls and any other litter floating in the water. “Part of the story that I think people don’t understand about Baxter’s Pond is it serves an infrastructure function as a catchment basin,” said Kim Keiserman. “[The pond] catches liter and garbage that comes down Central Drive and the streams from Main Street, Beacon Hill and etcetera before it goes into Manhasset Bay.” Under the bridge at Baxter’s pond, litter collects as a catchment which Nassau County comes to clean out. Some debris do not make it to the catchment and floats in the pond, which the foundation cleans out during their clean-ups to maintain the pond. “We will sometimes get in there with nets and long boots to try and get the litter out,” said Kim Keiserman. “We are trying to keep the pond looking beautiful and safe for wildlife.” Baxter’s Pond plays an essential role in keeping Manhasset Bay and the surrounding communities clean. Nassau County has recognized the pond’s significance in helping keep the environment healthy by providing a grant from the Nassau County Soil and Water Conservation District. This is the second grant Baxter’s Pond has received from Nassau County. The first grant will continue a shore scaping project that started under Nancy Comer three years ago. The project supported planting and growing native plants around the pond to maintain the shoreline. “The organization had put fencing around [the plants] to protect them so they could establish, which has been successful,” said Kim Keiserman. “Part of the clean-up was removing that fence to use again for new plantings.” The foundation is planning a big event later in the season as part of the shore scaping project. The event will require a lot of volunteers to help plant the native plants around the shore of the pond. To learn more and get involved with Baxter’s Pond, visit baxterspond.org.

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.

DeRiggi-Whitton Remedies Cow Neck Road Drainage Issues

fter receiving complaints from residents about water collecting along Cow Neck Road, Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D – Glen Cove), Village of Port Washington North Mayor, and Town of North Hempstead Councilwoman Mariann Dalimonte met with homeowners and viewed the damage. Representatives from the Nassau County Department of Public Works also attended this meeting and swiftly came up with a proposal to correct the issue. The engineers constructed a plan to regrade the asphalt to re-channel the water and install additional

gutters to help facilitate the flow of the rainwater. “We were able to clearly see the issue that homeowners were experiencing,” Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton said. “We are very hopeful that these changes will alleviate the issues going forward.” “We are thrilled at the remediation the County proposed, and how quickly and completely Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton responded to our issues,” Mayor Weitzner added. “The County’s response coupled with residents’ input on the exact issues with the road’s drainage issues truly

captures the spirit of community.” Please feel free to contact Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton’s office with questions or comments about his project or any other topic at 516-571-6211 or dderiggiwhitton@ nassaucountyny.gov. —Submitted by the office of Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (center) and Port Washington North Mayor Bob Weitzner (far right) meet with County DPW representatives and residents of Cow Neck Road to discuss drainage issues.

COVER STORY

Have Food Allergies? Read The Label

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

May Is Mental Health Awareness Month Since the start of the pandemic, more and more people are talking about mental health. An increasing number of folks are starting to see it for what it is: one important component of your overall health and well-being, just like your physical health. 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. Go to www.mhanational.org/may to learn more. —Mental Health America

Roe Overturned?

Local pols weigh in on national issue JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

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. It is easier seven days a week to attend Met games, other Citi Field events, US

Babylon train station (Photo source getty Images)

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. TANSTAAFL or “There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch” or in this case, a free ride. Larry Penner is a transportation advocate, historian and writer, who previously worked for the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 New York Office. This included the development, review, approval and oversight for billions in capital projects and programs for the MTA, NYC Transit, Long Island Rail Road, Metro North Rail Road, MTA Bus along with 30 other transit agencies in NY & NJ.

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. Those in need include: cancer patients, accident, burn, or trauma victims, transplant recipients, surgery patients, chronically transfused patients suffering from sickle cell disease or thalassemia, and many more. To make an appointment at this blood drive, donors can visit www.nybc.org or call 1-800-933-2566. Donors are encouraged to post pictures

of their donations and tag the New York Blood Center: New York Blood Center Official Social Media Handles & Hashtags These handles can be used for tagging the blood center, sharing content from the blood center, etc. Facebook facebook.com/newyorkbloodcenter Instagram @newyorkbloodcenter LinkedIn linkedin.com/company new-york-blood-center TikTok @nybloodcenter Twitter @nybloodcenter YouTube youtube.com/user/ NewYorkBloodCenter Official Hashtag #nybloodcenter Founded in 1964, the New York Blood Center (NYBC) is a nonprofit organization that is one of the largest independent, community-based blood centers in the world. NYBC, along with its operating divisions Community Blood Center of Kansas City, Missouri (CBC), Innovative Blood Resources (IBR), Blood Bank of Delmarva (BBD), and Rhode Island Blood Center (RIBC), collect approximately 4,000 units of blood products each day and serve local communities of more than 75 million people in the Tri-State area (NY, NJ, CT), Mid Atlantic area (PA, DE, MD, VA), Missouri and Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Southern New England. NYBC and its operating divisions also provide a wide array of transfusion-related medical services to over 500 hospitals nationally, including Comprehensive Cell Solutions, the National Center for Blood Group Genomics, the National Cord Blood Program, and the Lindsley F. Kimball Research Institute, which—among other milestones—developed a practical screening method for hepatitis B as well as a safe, effective and affordable vaccine, and a patented solvent detergent plasma process innovating blood-purification technology worldwide. —Submitted by the New York Blood Center

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

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.

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

County Approves Funding For Ida Remediation Work The Nassau County Legislature’s Rules committee voted unanimously on Monday, April 11 to allocate an additional $4 million toward ongoing repair work on the county’s drainage infrastructure and other problems caused by Tropical Storm Ida last year. Their approval will equip the county to address more infrastructure concerns resulting from Tropical Storm Ida. Specifically in the 11th Legislative District, this includes projects to correct drainage issues on Skunks Misery Road in Glen Cove and Cow Neck Road in Port Washington North. Funding will also be dedicated toward immediate, temporary corrective measures to secure the seawall at the base of Falaise Mansion at the Sands Point Preserve. These improvements are now part of a countywide portfolio of post-Ida repairs to damaged or deteriorated pavement, curbs and sidewalks, drainage systems, bridges,

structural systems such as sea walls and retaining walls, fencing, and park facilities. With the recent contract amendment, the County has committed a maximum of $24 million to this assortment of infrastructure repairs. “It is such a relief that the funding for this much-needed work was approved,” said Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggiWhitton (D – Glen Cove), a member of the Legislature’s Rules committee. “Completing these projects will make our roads safer and go a long way toward preserving our County’s historical treasures for the enjoyment of future generations.” Feel free to contact Legislator DeRiggiWhitton about this or any other topic at 516-571-6211 or dderiggiwhitton@nassaucountyny.gov. –Submitted by office of Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton

Farmingdale State College Announces Fulbright Winner

Graduate Cesar Hernandez to Study in Denmark

armingdale State College is pleased to announce that Fulbright Finalist Cesar Hernandez, fall class of 2021, has received a Fulbright U.S. Student Program award to study neuroscience in Denmark for the 2022-2023 academic year from the U.S. Department of State and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board. Hernandez is the son of Maria and Anthony Hernandez of Port Washington, NY. As a Fulbright participant, Hernandez will study, conduct research and teach abroad for the 2022-2023 academic year through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. Recipients of Fulbright awards are selected in an open, merit-based competition that considers leadership potential, academic and/or professional achievement and record of service. As Fulbright alumni, their careers are enriched by joining a network of thousands of esteemed alumni, many of whom are leaders in their fields. Fulbright alumni include 61 Nobel Prize laureates, 89 Pulitzer Prize recipients and 40 who have served as a head of state or government.

Hernandez plans to study how genetic mutations in the Danish population affect the functioning of the nervous system, leading to psychiatric diseases. He will be conducting research at a lab at the University of Copenhagen. “The Fulbright Award is one of the most prestigious in the nation,” said Farmingdale President Dr. John S. Nader. “We are elated for Cesar, who will undoubtedly excel as a researcher. The award recognizes his intellectual ambitions and his remarkable work ethic.” The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is administered at Farmingdale State College by Fulbright Program Adviser Lisa M. Cullington, Ph.D. Hernandez is the first

Fulbright Scholar from Farmingdale since 2013. He majored in applied psychology with a minor in biology. “He has a really strong research mindset,” according to Cullington. “This is such a great thing for him and such a great thing for the institution,” she added. “It’s the kind of opportunity that FSC students are ripe for; they really understand how to apply research to real-world issues and challenges in a way that is uniquely Farmingdale.” Hernandez was tapped for another Fulbright as well; he was awarded a research opportunity through the Fulbright Canada Mitacs Globalink Program for the summer of 2021, but chose to pursue another research offer. The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government’s flagship international educational exchange program and is supported by the people of the United States and partner countries around the world. The Fulbright Program is funded through an annual appropriation made by the U.S. Congress to the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau

Port Washington resident, Cesar Hernandez. (Contributed photo) of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Participating governments and host institutions, corporations, and foundations around the world also provide direct and indirect support to the Program. Since 1946, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 400,000 participants from over 160 countries the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas, and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns. For further information about the Fulbright Program or the U.S. Department of State, please visit eca.state.gov/fulbright or contact the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs Press Office by telephone 202-632-6452 or e-mail ECA-Press@state.gov. —Submitted by Farmingdale State College

Sousa Elementary Is Getting Active ACES (All Children Exercising Simultaneously) is a great event where the entire school community comes together as one to exercise and have fun. Sousa Elementary School PE teachers choose dance as their form of exercise to promote living a healthy and active lifestyle. It is a wonderful opportunity for students to connect with family and friends, learning the dances so that students can continue to be physically active outside of school. —Submitted by the Port Washington Public School District

Council Member Dalimonte Visits Historic Monfort Cemetery

own of North Hempstead Council Member Mariann Dalimonte recently joined descendants of Adrian Onderdonk on a visit of the historic Monfort Cemetery in Port Washington. Town Historian Ross Lumpkin along with members of the Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society, who helped organized the visit, were also in attendance. “The Monfort Cemetery in Port Washington is an incredible historic site within the Town of North Hempstead,” said Council Member Dalimonte. “From Martin Schenck to members of the Onderdonk family, this location contains the remains of those who helped shape our local history here in North Hempstead. The Monfort Cemetery, because of its proximity to Schreiber High School, is an ideal location for an outdoor learning center from which future generations can educate themselves on the rich history of our local communities.” “Because so many prominent citizens from the 18th and 19th centuries, including nine revolutionary war patriots, are buried here, the Monfort Cemetery has the potential to be an outdoor learning center for students and a venue for events

commemorating the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution,” said Town Historian Lumpkin. “Plans for the Semiquincentennial are underway on the national and state levels. The Town of North Hempstead is initiating local plans now.” The Town recently submitted a grant to the Preservation League of New York State for funding to help in the restoration efforts of the Monfort Cemetery. The Monfort Cemetery was declared a Town landmark on July 23, 1985 and was added to the National Register of Historic

Senator Kaplan Celebrates Israel’s Independence Day

Rabbi Michael Mishkin of Temple Beth Israel in Port Washington delivered a special invocation

n Wednesday, May 4, 2022, New York State Senator Anna M. Kaplan (D-North Hills) held a celebration of Israel’s Independence Day (Yom Ha’atzmaut) in the New York State Capitol to honor the special relationship between Israel and New York State, and celebrate the 74th Anniversary of the founding of the modern State of Israel in the ancestral home of the Jewish people. Ambassador Asaf Zamir, Consul General of Israel in New York participated in the festivities along with representatives from AJC Global, AJC Long Island, AJC Westchester, and AJC New York, along with members of the community who made the trip to Albany for the special event. Rabbi Michael Mishkin of Temple Beth Israel of Port Washington, NY opened the Senate Session by delivering a moving invocation to the members of the Senate and the special guests who had gathered for the celebration of Yom Ha’atzmaut. During the Senate session, Senator Kaplan passed Resolution J.2062, congratulating the State of Israel upon the occasion of the 74th Anniversary of its Independence, and reaffirming the bonds of friendship and cooperation between the State of New York and Israel. In remarks from the floor of the Senate, Senator Kaplan said “Strong support for Israel is an issue that is deeply personal for me, and that’s why I’m proud not only to

My parents weren’t able to come with me, and by the time they were able to flee Iran, nations around the world had turned their backs on Jewish refugees like us,” said Senator Kaplan. “As one nation after

another denied their entry, Israel was the only place that would allow them to seek refuge, and they opened their arms to my parents, giving them a safe place to call home until they were finally able to reunite with me and my siblings in this country.” “Their story is not unique. Israel has been a beacon for Jewish people around the world since its inception,” said Senator Kaplan. “As Israel faces new challenges, and as antisemitism and global instability once

again threatens the safety of Jewish people worldwide, it has never been more important for us all to stand up and speak out in the strongest of terms in support of Israel.” “Supporting Israel isn’t a partisan issue,” concluded Senator Kaplan. “At a time when the stakes really couldn’t be higher, it’s a common purpose around which we can all unite.” —Submitted by the office of Senator Anna M. Kaplan
