Community Action Coalition Revitalizes Drug Prevention Efforts
LAUREN FELDMAN
lfeldman@antonmediagroup.com
Big changes are coming to Levittown through the efforts of their very own Community Action Coalition. The Levittown Community Action Coalition (LCAC) is a prevention coalition with a mission to create a safe, healthy, and secure community where fewer lives are impacted by addiction. The organization recently revamped their website and refocused their programs to further their commitment to providing prevention education and awareness regarding substance misuse. To create greater impact and strengthen relationships within the Levittown community, LCAC also announced the hire of their new Project Coordinator, Hannah Moore.
Moore, a resident of Long Beach, is very excited to join the LCAC team. “We have a tremendous team here at LCAC and I look forward to continuing my work in public health by implementing prevention strategies at the community level,” she commented in a recent press release. “We’re making a great impact within the community by empowering our youth and other members of the public to be strong and visible leaders in prevention.”
Moore’s background in public health makes her a welcome addition to the organization, which previously specialized more so in social work and mental health counseling. “We are excited to bring Ms. Moore into the YES Community Counseling Center family, which currently includes Massapequa Takes Action Coalition (MTAC), Partnering in Action Change for Tomorrow (PACT), Levittown Community Action Coalition (LCAC) and YES. With her background in public health, she is a formidable asset and achiever and will continue to expand her presence within the Levittown community,” added Corinne Alba, LMHC, CPP, CASAC; Associate Director Community Outreach and Training, YES Community Counseling Center.
The LCAC’s mission statement describes them as “an organization comprised of community partnerships that all work together with the common goal to create a safe, healthy and secure community through the prevention of substance
abuse.” Moore seconds this description, complimenting the group’s support from Levittown. “We are blessed with the partnerships that we have in this community. We work closely with the Levittown and Island Trees school districts.” She also notes that the partnership with the Levittown school district is what made the coalition possible in the first place.
In order to enact lasting change, substance misuse must be looked at from a spectrum perspective. As Moore explains, “We start with health promotion and [drug use] prevention.” That is where her role as Project Coordinator comes in. “We want to address the social, economic, educational, and health needs on a population level in order to prevent substance misuse, that’s really the aim of the coalition.” Then for members of the community who are already substance abusers, the organization switches gears to address intervention and recovery. “This is where our partnership at Yes Community Counseling Center is so beneficial.” But she says her primary goal is to stop substance abuse before it starts.
Their target demographic is youths ages 12-17, a particularly vulnerable age. Historically, substance abuse has operated around movements such as “Just Say No.” However, these movements have not recognized the dynamic and complicated nature of drug addiction. The LCAC is therefore aiming at a more nuanced approach. “We want to tackle this from all different standpoints.” Moore points out that the Covid-19 pandemic caused a surge in mental health
reports of drug misuse. Furthermore, when the perception for young people is that drug use is high (in their schools, neighborhoods, communities, etc.), they are more likely to partake, whether or not it is true.
LCAC also wants to encourage parents to get involved in the discussion, and offers methods to open up a dialogue with their children or other young people. Moore notes that Levittown’s higher population of Hispanic residents has also opened the door to create programs in Spanish, with
in Levittown.
The website rebrand is maximizing the different ways it is possible to target substance misuse. “We tackle this from different angles; from policy change to education, parent engagement, even community engagement,” says Moore. “With this rebrand, we are hoping to provide more information on our website, on our social media, to pull people in and [help them] learn more. There is a knowledge gap, especially when it comes to opioids and fentanyl… What we’re trying to do now is make our resources accessible.” The ultimate goal is to get other community members involved, so it is not just a group of professionals sitting in the room. “We have parents, teachers, youth, religious organizations, business owners. Our goal with the rebrand is to get people involved in the community and learn what they can do.”
The organization has also created a new logo which embodies the spirit of the Levittown community; individuals and families coming together to support the mission of the local prevention coalition.
About Levittown Community Action Coalition:
Founded in 2015, LCAC is comprised of a dedicated group of individuals and organizations within the Levittown community including representatives from schools, youth, law enforcement, media, hospitals, libraries, substance abuse treatment agencies, civic groups, businesses, religious organizations, state and local agencies, and other organizations involved in substance abuse prevention. These stakeholders work together to reduce substance misuse through awareness, education, and empowerment within the community. LCAC’s vision is to support a community where residents feel safe, valued, connected and empowered to respond to life’s challenges without resorting to the misuse of alcohol, opiates or other substances. In pursuit of this goal, community outreach programs, early intervention, training and events provide residents with the necessary tools to reduce substance misuse and focus on healthy behaviors.

Tick Prevention Is Good Sense
What to watch out for when it comes to ticks
AMANDA OLSEN
aolsen@antonmediagroup.com
As the weather warms and people begin to emerge from their winter lairs, it is once again time to take precautions against ticks and the diseases they carry. The life cycle of ticks can vary depending on the species. Most ticks go through four stages: egg, six-legged larva, eight-legged nymph, and adult. After hatching from the egg, a tick must obtain a blood meal at every stage to survive. Ticks can feed on mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. There are three main types of ticks on Long Island, each with their own array of pathogens. Knowing how to identify each species is helpful in order to know their potential as a vector.
eight legs. These ticks are widespread in the United States, with a range that extends from Maine to Florida and westward to around the Great Lakes. Deer ticks are commonly encountered in mixed forests, along the woodland edges of fields and even in suburban landscapes. Their life cycle begins in spring, when females lay eggs in fallen leaves. The nymphs emerge in early summer and have their first feed, usually on a small mammal. It’s here that they may become carriers for Lyme disease, since many mice and other rodents are infected. Deer ticks will feed on human hosts at any stage. According to the CDC, some other illnesses carried by deer ticks include babesiosis, anaplasmosis and Powassan virus.
in the winter, it’s flu and respiratory viruses until proven otherwise. And in the summer, it’s tick-borne until proven otherwise, particularly in endemic areas, which we all live in.
—Dr. Bruce Farber, Northwell Health
The deer tick is tiny, less than 1/8 inch in its adult phase, and the nymphs are even smaller, about the size of a poppy seed. Another name for these ticks is the blacklegged tick due to the color of their
Tick Removal Tips
Prompt and proper tick removal is essential and may decrease your chances of getting tick-borne diseases. The steps are:
•Use fine-point tweezers or tick-removal tools. Grasp the tick where its mouthparts enter the skin and pull the tick straight out.
Another tick that can be found on Long Island is the American dog tick. These ticks are larger, around ¼ inch, with brown bodies and legs and a mottled back. Unlike most other species of tick, dog ticks prefer the same host during all life stages. Dog ticks do not contribute to the spread of Lyme, but they can carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Tularemia. Dog ticks are found throughout most of the United States, as far west as the Rocky Mountains.
The other species of tick commonly seen on Long Island is the Lone Star tick. It is slightly smaller than the dog tick and has a distinctive white spot on its back, hence
the name. This tick is found in the eastern United States, from Florida to Maine, and west to the central plains states. This tick carries Ehrlichiosis, Tularemia, STARI, and its saliva can cause alpha-gal allergy, which is sudden allergy to red meat.
•Do not twist or squeeze the tick’s body. Be patient – proper tick removal takes time.
•Do not use petroleum jelly, gasoline, lit matches, oils, or any other remedies to remove ticks. These methods may actually increase your chances of contracting a disease.
•After removing the tick, disinfect the bite area and wash your hands.
•Monitor the bite area for early signs and symptoms of Lyme disease.
•Call your physician if you get any symptoms.
Ticks do not burrow under the skin, and any remaining mouthparts after tick removal will not transmit disease. However, additional aggravation of the bite site may cause secondary bacterial skin infections.
—From suffolkcountyny.gov
Ticks are generally found in wooded areas and places with tall grass, but they can be anywhere where their host has traveled. This means that if there are squirrels, birds or mice in a neighborhood, there are probably ticks there as well. Thus, it makes sense to know the symptoms of tick-borne illnesses. Even if you do not find an engorged tick on your body, fever, body aches, and malaise in the summer, when flu is unusual, and especially after spending time outside, would be cause for concern. Dr. Bruce Farber, an infectious disease doctor at Northwell Health Infectious Disease, put it this way: “from a practical point of view, the way to think about these is that in the winter, it’s flu and respiratory viruses until proven otherwise. And in the summer, it’s tick-borne until proven otherwise, particularly in endemic areas, which we all live in.”
A tick must bite and become engorged in order to transmit any diseases it may
be carrying. “If the tick is removed within 24-hour period of time, then it’s very unlikely that you will get sick from it. It has to be engorged in order for you to get Lyme, babesiosis and all the other tick-borne diseases that are less common but seen here. We don’t see a lot of Rocky Mountain spotted fever but we do see an occasional case. We’ve not seen, to any large degree, any of the more uncommon tick-borne related diseases that that are being spread by the lone star tick, which now is in New York, but they’re also possible.”
The safest way to avoid tick-borne illness is to not be bitten by ticks. Common sense measures for safety are wearing light colored clothing to make crawling ticks easier to see. Always wear long pants and sleeves, and tuck everything in, including the cuffs of your pants into your socks. Use repellents that contain DEET and follow their directions. You can also wear clothing that has been treated with permethrin. Walk in the center of trails and check your clothing frequently. Check pets carefully before letting them enter the house. Dry clothing on high for ten minutes to kill ticks. Inspect your skin thoroughly.

HOSPICE IS ABOUT LIFE
Hospice can be an uncomfortable topic. But the comfort and care it provides can greatly ease sadness, pain and fear during a difficult time. From medical support to peace of mind, understanding what hospice has to offer can help people decide if, and when, it's right for them. Some things you may not know:
1.
It's usually at home. Comfort, familiarity and the presence of loved ones are everything during these times.
2.
It's typically covered by insurance. Most patients qualify through Medicaid, Medicare or private insurance.
4.
It includes full medical care. A hospice team can include doctors, visiting nurses, social workers and other care providers.
5.
It's not just for patients. Loved ones can receive counseling, learn how to help and much more.
3. 6.
It can last up to six months. Many people would benefit by entering hospice earlier.
Talking about hospice can be hard. We're here to help you understand the decisions and choices you may face along the way.
Northwell.edu/Hospice
Hospice isn't about death. It's about life.
Hospice helps make this difficult time more comfortable, supportive and dignified.

McKenna Students Build Relationship With Local Police
In recognition of National Police Week, McKenna Elementary School in the Massapequa School District welcomed the local men and women in blue.
Officers from the Nassau County Police Department’s Seventh Precinct POP Unit visited to talk about their jobs, provide safety tips and show some of the equipment that they use. At an assembly in the auditorium, Police Officer Joe Cangro talked about stranger danger, bicycle safety and the importance of calling 911 in an emergency. He also showed students some of his tactical gear.
Children then went outside and met with officers Christina Prisco, Ray Luthy and Ryan Zimmerman. Following a bicycle safety demonstration in the front driveway, students got to see four police cars including two regular patrol vehicles, an unmarked car and an ATV that is used in areas such as the Massapequa Preserve.
McKenna Principal Dr. Amanda Lowry and Assistant Principal Mary Anne Ferraro said that the goal of the day was to build relationships within the community, as students got to meet people who are there to protect them.

Bethpage Girl Recognized In Environmental Poster Contest
Bethpage fourth-grader Dhruvika Khanna from Central Boulevard Elementary School was recently selected as the third-place winner in the Our Town, Our Environment Poster Contest. The contest was run by Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Vicki Walsh. All fourth-grade students from the Town of Oyster Bay were welcome to take part and create a poster fitting this year’s theme ‘Marine Pollution Solutions.’
Khanna’s winning poster featured an aquatic scene with the words “You Can Help the Ocean” in big red letters. Surrounded by colorful images of marine life, she added five ways in which an individual can protect the oceans. For example, by using fewer plastic products, cleaning the beach, eating sustainably and more. As a result of her winning submission, Supervisor Saladino, Councilwoman Walsh and Town of Oyster Bay Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato visited Khanna’s school on May 2 to speak with her class further about how to protect the Earth. They also presented Khanna with a certificate and together with her class, planted a tree in her honor outside of the school.
The Bethpage Union Free School District congratulates Khanna on this outstanding achievement.

Fulfilling its effort to support women who have given birth and are in need of assistance, Catholic Daughters Court #1690 of St. Bernard’s Church in Levittown holds an annual baby shower collecting contributions of baby clothing, diapers and supplies from the congregation. This year’s collection resulted in several carloads of donations to be delivered to two local organizations dedicated to help women who are pregnant or who have given birth. The contributions support the work and services provided by Birthright in Wantagh and MOMMA’s House, which recently relocated to the former convent at St. Bernard’s Church property. Birthright is an organization committed to providing confidential, non-judgmental support to any woman who
is pregnant or thinks she might be pregnant, no matter her age, race, circumstances, religion, marital status or financial situation. For more information go to https://birthright. org/wantagh or call 516-785-4070. MOMMA’s House provides housing for young mothers aged 18 to 24 years and their babies for approximately two years, allowing the young mothers to continue education or vocational experience interrupted by pregnancy. With guidance and direction, the young mothers can learn to support themselves and their children independently.

$23,000 a year in savings* from lighting upgrades means more of this for Long Island.
When the nonprofit Canine Companions requested a free energy assessment, we discovered that installing LED fixtures and other energy efficiency measures could save them nearly $2,000 a month. And with available PSEG Long Island rebates, the installation was affordable. Today, those changes have meant more funds for the mission of providing service dogs to Long Islanders with disabilities.

Memorial Day: Remember The Fallen
AMANDA OLSEN
aolsen@antonmediagroup.com
On May 29, the United States will observe Memorial Day, which is a day set aside to remember the men and women who have died while serving in the US military. This observance began shortly after the civil war but was not made an official federal holiday until 1971. Originally known as Decoration Day, it is often celebrated with parades and services. Families also barbecue and gather, since it unofficially marks the beginning of summer.
The Origin of Decoration Day
Even before the Civil War ended, women’s groups across much of the South were gathering informally to decorate the graves of Confederate dead. In April 1886, the Ladies Memorial Association of Columbus, Georgia, resolved to commemorate the fallen once a year—a decision that seems to have influenced John Logan to follow suit. However, southern commemorations were rarely held on one standard day, with observations differing by state and spread out across much of the spring and early summer.
The Civil War killed more Americans than any other war in US history. When the war ended in 1865, the great number of dead soldiers required the establishment of national cemeteries. Within a matter of years, the survivors were visiting these sites for springtime remembrances, where they left flowers and recited prayers. One of these commemorations was organized in Charleston, South Carolina, by a group of formerly enslaved people immediately after the confederacy’s surrender. Despite this, according to the federal government, the
birthplace of Memorial Day is Waterloo, New York, where a large, annual community-wide event began May 5, 1866. The town closed businesses and gathered to place flowers and flags on the graves of fallen servicemen.
Shortly thereafter, on May 5, 1868, General John A. Logan, the leader of an organization of Civil War Veterans, began a campaign to declare May 30 a national day of remembrance. The date of Decoration Day, as he called it, was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any particular battle. On the first Decoration Day, General James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, and 5,000 participants decorated the graves of the 20,000 Civil War soldiers buried there.
Within 22 years, every northern state had made Decoration Day an official state holiday. Southern states continued to mark their own observances until after World War 1.
The Holiday Evolves
Originally, the holiday only honored those killed in the Civil War. But after the United States became involved in other grave conflicts, the holiday evolved to honor the nation’s military personnel who died in all wars.
For decades, Memorial Day continued to be observed on May 30, the date General Logan had selected for the first Decoration Day. But in 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which established Memorial Day as the last Monday in May in order to create a three-day weekend for federal employees. The change went into effect in 1971. The same law also declared Memorial Day a federal holiday.
The move has not been without controversy, though. Veterans groups, concerned that more Americans associate the holiday with first long weekend of the summer and not its intended purpose to honor the nation’s war dead, continue to lobby for a return to the May 30 observances. For more than 20 years, their cause was championed by Hawaiian Senator—and decorated World
“In Flanders Fields”
by John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Parenting Tips For Summer
BY ERICA SCHIFANO
Summer vacation! This phrase can evoke both parental joy and trepidation. On one hand, it can be a relief to sleep in a bit, relax at home in the mornings and plan family time together. On the other hand, too much free time may lead to bored, restless kids.
Active Parenting Fosters Healthy Families
Hands on parenting plays an outsized role in fostering positive child/parents connections, benefitting family dynamics no matter what your family situation is like. Most of us do not have the ability of spending every summer day with our children but with a degree of planning, it’s relatively easy to come up with inexpensive, fun activities that will keep your family busy, create memorable moments, and foster the conversations and relationships that play an integral role in long-term communication with your children.
Get your kids involved in planning!
Hands-on parenting requires putting your devices away during an activity and asking your kids to do the same. Be sure to include your children in planning your days together- ask them what they want to do and explore some new interests with them. If they have a hand in the plan, they’ll be more interested and receptive to the activity. It
can be helpful to plan out the week’s program as a family on Sunday. Make a list of meals for the week or outdoor activities for nice weather enjoyment as well as indoor activities for the inevitable rainy day. Your local library is a fabulous resource for free, fun and educational opportunities and a wonderful place to meet other parents and children.
Create themed weeks or special days. A

schedule for “Animal Week” might include bird watching, hopping a fishing boat at Captree or walking the shore at north or south shore beaches. Visits early and later in the day yield greater rewards with wildlife viewing, not to mention technicolor sunsets. If it’s rainy, watch The Lion King, for example, or do an animal craft. The internet offers hundreds of inexpensive craft ideas-children also have a wonderful imagination!
The Great Indoors
Rainy days at home can be relaxing and fun, perfect for baking a special treat, cooking a meal together, working on a jigsaw puzzle, arts & crafts, playing a board game or even making up their own board game! These activities encourage conversation, skill development and bring a satisfying end result. Selecting a movie or two that the family can enjoy together is much less expensive than an outing to a movie theater. Check out your local library’s book collection and introduce one of your childhood favorites to your kids. It’s a great way to talk about your own childhood and how it is different or similar to your children’s experiences. Don’t forget to pop your own popcorn or create a special snack.
The Great Outdoors
Families from all over the world visit Long Island beaches, parks and spend a day in New York City. You should too!
The Long Island’s Children’s Museum, the
Nassau County Museum of Art’s sculpture garden, the Planting Fields Arboretum, Old Westbury Gardens and many other beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces are just a few of the places for inexpensive family fun. You may be able to reserve free passes at your local library.
Think back to your own childhood and what you enjoyed as a kid. Remember the fun you had riding your bike, rollerblades or scooter? Long Island has many parks and family friendly bike trails. A destination adds enjoyment and interest. How about a lemonade stand? The website Playworks www.playworks.org/ offers plenty of fun games and ideas for groups of all sizes.
When you want to stay closer to home, try water balloons, sprinklers, or a chalk art contest. Planting an easy to grow garden of flowers and vegetables can encourage a lifelong interest in gardening.
While there is no shortage of summer fun on Long Island, its important to remember to keep a regular bedtime for your kids. If kids stay up too late and sleep in every morning, the transition to school will be more difficult.
The summer days are precious. Start making your plans for a memorable summer.

Look at Me
Jason and Dawn have been together for two years. They often defuse any arguments they have with comforting touch, such as a pat on the back or light touch on the shoulder. They have discussed the importance of this as a way to communicate that they are there for one another and love one another, even when in the middle of an argument. They have recently begun to explore other ways that they can remain connected, even when experiencing conflict. While touch can be an important component of relationships, as it helps partners bond and soothe one another, eye contact is also essential.
The Research
In a famous study conducted by Joan Kellerman, James Lewis, and James Laird (1989), participants were paired with strangers and

were instructed to either look at each other’s hands, look into their eyes, or look into their eyes and focus on how many times their partner was blinking. Those who were looking into one another’s eyes (mutual gaze) reported more affection than the pairs in other conditions.
The Application
The study discussed above was conducted in a laboratory setting, and it’s not that likely that you and your partner will sit down at a table and gaze into one another’s eyes in the middle of a heated discussion, debate, or quickly escalating conflict. However, there are ways to be mindful about the way in which you connect (using your eyes) when interacting with one another. Many people, when feeling embarrassed or ashamed will glance down and away from their partners. When angry, you may scrunch up your eyes to look more serious (or menacing). For many, our emotions are clearly displayed on our faces. Be cognizant of how you and your partner connect with one another in terms of your eye contact next time you engage. Attempt to keep eye contact with
What is the Festival of Shavuot?
As over three million people congregated at the foot of Mount Sinai, after forty years of trudging through the desert, the defining moment in Jewish history occurred. Through dust and clouds, The Creator’s voice emanated across the masses and transmitted the Ten Commandments. With great seriousness, each person who bore witness to this grand mass revelation accepted the responsibility of keeping them. Beginning Thursday evening, May 25th, we celebrate this monumental experience with the holiday of Shavuot.
The Hebrew word shavuot means “weeks” in English and represents the seven weeks between the exodus from Egypt and the receiving of the Torah. Following the second day of Passover, we count the 49 days of the Omer and then celebrate Shavuot on the 50th day. On this holiday, Jewish people attempt to merge their spiritual selves with the spirit of the Divine and fortify their souls by accepting the Torah anew. In essence, on Shavuot, Jews reaffirm the declaration they made to The Almighty upon receiving the commandments: “We will do, and we will listen.”
Because King Solomon described the Torah as “sweet as milk and honey under the tongue,” many reminiscent traditions are undertaken during the Shavuot festival. Some people study Torah from Thursday night until sunrise

and on Friday, Jews around the world assemble, just as they did over three thousand years ago, to hear the recitation of the Ten Commandments. Furthermore, it is customary to eat a dairy meal and recite Yizkor, the prayer of remembrance, on Shabbat morning. During those same morning prayer services, the Book of Ruth is read, in homage to the fact that, just as Jews loyally accepted the Torah at Mount Sinai, Ruth, a convert, demonstrated her willingness to take upon the tenets of the Jewish religion. As she told her motherin-law, Naomi, “Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your G-d, my G-d.” Ruth was a young Moabite princess and her eventual conversion to Judaism earned her an important place in Jewish history. Generations later, the
your partner. This may be challenging at first, especially if this is something that you aren’t used to. Maintaining eye contact with one another not only communicates that you are engaged and interested in what your partner is saying, but as the research shows, can lead to feelings of affection. If this is too challenging to do when in the middle of a heated discussion, make sure that you end the conversation by having at least 30 seconds of uninterrupted eye contact, bonus points if you’re also holding one another’s hands.

union between the young Ruth and the 80-year-old Boaz would produce the brave King David, who is credited with building the first Temple. The Hebrew date upon which Shavuot falls also happens to be the day that King David, Ruth’s great-grandson, entered and exited the world. Samuel, the exulted biblical prophet, wrote the Book of Ruth as genealogical proof of his fine character.
My book, Ruth Talk: Questions and Answers on the Book of Ruth, is meant to be a companion to the Book of Ruth. Ruth Talk analyzes each segment of the four chapters in a way that brings the biblical characters to life and makes the story relevant to our time. My hope is that readers will come to see it as a powerful account of self-transformation, filled with elements of love, hope, fate and world reparation. Ruth Talk is written in an easy question-and-answer format that reveals timeless life lessons, nuanced meaning, and emotional depth, all found within the interpersonal challenges that our ancestors faced. I dearly wish people will pick up Ruth Talk
alongside the biblical Book of Ruth and have both an enriched reading experience and a soulful celebration of Shavuot festival because of it.
For this upcoming Festival of Shavuot, I’d like to give each person some encouragement: Each of us can figuratively ascend Mount Sinai. We may celebrate Shavuot once a year, but we experience Shavuot and reaffirm our allegiance to our Creator every time we take the Torah out of the ark, every time we listen to the reading of the Torah, and every time we engage in Torah study. This Shavuot, believe in your spiritual potential and make efforts to realize it. Find in your hearts the steadfast loyalty that Ruth possessed and watch yourselves become the recipients of untold spiritual reward. Perhaps your descendants will make priceless contributions to our future, as Ruth’s great-grandson, King David, did. Or perhaps you’ll find that just being a part of this journey, using our Torah as a blueprint and observing the commandments are all the fulfillment you need. Wishing all who celebrate a Happy Shavuot!

Why Nassau Needs a Strong, Independent Inspector General’s Office
As a legislator who served during the height of corruption in Nassau County and witnessed the indictment of former Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano, I know firsthand how important it is to have mechanisms in place to protect taxpayer money from the pitfalls of waste and fraud.
During the past few years, I have worked closely with my Minority Caucus colleagues to strengthen the integrity of Nassau’s procurement system and make the process of awarding contracts as fair and secure as possible. We did so by increasing the rigor of our contract reviews; requiring vendors to submit the names of all principals and any political contributions they have made; and mandating the disclosure of any violations
an applicant may have been issued. Soon after, we created the Office of the Inspector General and appointed the County’s first Inspector General, Jodi Franzese – a proud moment in my legislative career.
Operating as an independent official, the Inspector General and their team promote transparency and increase the accountability of County operations by reviewing each contract to detect and prevent waste, fraud, and the abuse of taxpayer money in Nassau County procurement.
Continued support for the Inspector General’s office is critical to further ensuring the integrity of our procurement system – one that encompasses hundreds of millions of dollars each year. However, it appears that
there are efforts being made to weaken this crucial County government watchdog.
After her four-year term expired at the end of 2022, the Inspector General worked for months without being reappointed by the Legislature, placing her and the entire office into an uncertain posture. Without the protection that being formally appointed by a bipartisan, 13-vote supermajority provides, the Inspector General’s ability to achieve its mission of serving as an independent watchdog is inherently weakened.
That is why the Minority Caucus introduced legislation in April to extend the Inspector General’s contract through 2026. Unfortunately, the Majority rejected our proposal, and the Inspector General recently
announced she will be leaving her position effective June 1.
Preserving and enhancing ethics safeguards like the Inspector General’s office will not only protect taxpayer money from waste, fraud, and abuse, it will also deter future bad actors and help to ensure that elected officials have all the information they need to reach informed decisions. The Minority Caucus will continue to fight tirelessly to dramatically improve the procurement process to make it more transparent, inclusive, and cost-effective – and it is essential for Nassau County to continue down this path.

Students from Nassau BOCES toured the PSEG Long Island Training Academy with utility workers who will educate them about electricity, while touring the
five academies: substations, emergency services, underground and overhead lines, and meter maintenance. They also got a visual demonstration illustrating why it is important to stay away from downed power lines. The demonstration took place at the PSEG Long Island Training Academy in Hicksville, NY.
There was a climbing demonstration, visual demonstration on the dangers of working on and around high voltage wires, what to do if a power line falls on a car, home, or fence, and how wildlife can negatively interfere with power lines.

Summertime Art: A list of upcoming exhibits at iconic museums
BY LONG ISLAND WEEKLY STAFF editors@antonnews.com
Museums are a great place to get out of the hot, summer air into air conditioning. They are also great places to see some amazing art. Here is a list of museums in Nassau, Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan that have exciting exhibits coming up this summer. What these museums have to offer is, of course, not limited to this list. Before visiting a museum, simply visit the websites listed below so that you know what exhibitions you’d like to focus your time on.
NASSAU COUNTY:
The Nassau County Museum of Art, One Museum Dr. in Roslyn Harbor. nassaumuseum.org.
Modigliani and the Modern Portrait (July 22 – Nov. 5, 2023): “Devoted to the way that Modigliani powerfully re-defined the art of portraiture, the show includes his masterworks along with paintings and drawings by his Parisian contemporaries (Picasso, van Dongen, Laurencin). Modigliani’s enduring influence on artists even in our own time is shown in a selection of Contemporary paintings by such important figures as David Hockney, Eric Fischl, Elizabeth Peyton and others. The exhibition is being curated by Dr. Kenneth Wayne, founder of The Modigliani Project which authenticates paintings and drawings.”
QUEENS:
MoMA PS1, 22-25 Jackson Ave. in Queens. momaps1.org.
Standing On The Corner: Seven
Prepared Pianos for the Seven African Powers (June 1 - Oct.9, 2023): “For their first durational museum presentation, the avant-garde musical ensemble
‘Standing on the Corner’ (American, est. 2016), led by Gio Escobar, will create a sonic, multimedia installation that brings together spiritual objects, modified instruments, and moving images. The centerpiece of the exhibition is a large-scale installation consisting of seven pianos distinctly presented and prepared, with symbolic objects inserted into their strings to create apparitional interventions. Forging connections between New York City, Puerto Rico, and Africa—reflecting Escobar’s own ancestral ties—the project imagines how spiritual and natural forces intersect with and bewitch our objects and environment. The installation makes
visible the inner workings of the pianos, as well as the artists’ intercession into the strings, through cameras installed inside of the instruments, with footage projected in real time. This work bridges Standing on the Corner’s interest in the urban modifications of ancient devotional practices of the Caribbean and Africa and proposes the destruction of Western musical traditions. The installation will be activated during concerts that harness the altered acoustics of each piano to summon the mysterious powers that possess them.”
BROOKLYN:
Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn. brooklynmuseum.org.
Africa Fashion (June 23 - Oct.22, 2023): “Making its North American debut in Brooklyn, ‘Africa Fashion’ is the largest-ever presentation of the subject: more than 180 works, including standout pieces from the museum’s collections. Organized thematically, this multisensory experience features immersive displays of haute couture and ready-to-wear apparel, as well as photographs, literature, sketches, music, film and catwalk footage, textiles, and jewelry. More than forty designers and artists from twenty African countries are represented, from the vanguards who first gained worldwide attention, such as Kofi Ansah (Ghana) and Shade Thomas-Fahm (Nigeria), to the newest generation of cutting-edge creatives, such as Thebe Magugu (South Africa) and Gouled Ahmed (Djibouti). Many of their works are on view for the first time in the United States.”

Van Gogh’s Cypresses (May 22 - Aug.27, 2023): “Van Gogh’s Cypresses is the first exhibition to focus on the trees—among the most famous in the history of art—immortalized in signature images by Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890). Such iconic pictures as ‘Wheat Field with Cypresses’ and ‘The Starry Night’ take their place as the centerpiece in a presentation that affords an unprecedented perspective on a motif virtually synonymous with the Dutch artist’s fiercely original power of expression. Some 40 works illuminate the extent of his fascination with the region’s distinctive flamelike evergreens as they successively sparked, fueled, and stoked his imagination over the course of two years in the South of France: from his initial sightings of the “tall and dark” trees in Arles to realizing their full, evocative potential (“as I see them”) at the asylum in Saint-Rémy. Juxtaposing landmark paintings with precious drawings and illustrated letters—many rarely, if ever, lent or exhibited together—this tightly conceived thematic exhibition offers an extraordinary opportunity to appreciate anew some of Van Gogh’s most celebrated works in a context that reveals the backstory of their invention for the first time.”

Pepón Osorio: My Beating Heart/ Mi Corazón Latiente (June 29 - Sept. 17, 2023): “Informed by his background in theater and performance as well as his experiences as a child services case worker and professor, Osorio’s richly textured sculptures and installations are deeply invested in political, social, and cultural issues affecting Latinx and working class communities in the United States. Installed in the New Museum’s Second Floor galleries, the exhibition will focus on the elaborate, large-scale, multimedia environments that Osorio has been creating since the early 1990s, often developed through long-term conversations and collaborations with individuals in the neighborhoods where they were first shown. This exhibition will provide an opportunity to experience Pepón Osorio’s new and most iconic projects together for the first time, and demonstrate the distinctive ways in which he creates encompassing environments that illustrate personal stories and reveal crucial societal concerns. Taken from an eponymous work, the title of the exhibition addresses themes that resonate throughout Osorio’s practice, including the simultaneous resilience and fragility of human life, the values and desires that propel humanity, and the fundamental urgency to better care for one another.”

John Shopis Recognized For Service To Community
In recognition of National Volunteer Month recently, PSEG Long Island celebrates its employees who support their neighbors throughout the year through community service.
During the year and throughout the month of April, PSEG Long Island employees enjoy giving back to their communities. In April, they mobilized to assist the Red Cross in installing smoke detectors in homes in Hempstead; commemorated Earth Day and Arbor Day by providing Long Islanders with energy-saving trees in Hauppauge and East Meadow; and joined Island Harvest Food Bank in Greenlawn to pack and distribute food to members of the community.
“Throughout the year our employees show their commitment to their neighbors through community service in the towns and villages where they live and work,” said David Lyons, interim president and
COO of PSEG Long Island.
“National Volunteer Month provides the perfect backdrop to say thanks and recognize the people in our organization who do so much for so many.”
John Shopis of Seaford participated in the food distribution.
“It was great to be back out participating with fellow employees at this community service event,” said Shopis. “I met a nice group of people who are all dedicated to helping other Long Island families. Our customers were thankful for the food and supplies they received. This event shows the dedication and caring attitude of our employees, who are also neighbors. It’s great to work for a company that gives back and is appreciated by the customers we serve.”
PSEG Long Island is committed to giving back to the people and communities it serves.

Mia Babino: Exceptional Field Hockey Player Heads To SUNY Cortland With Many Honors
BY JANET BURNS jburns@antonmediagroup.com
As high school varsity athletes from around the county are signing on with their almamaters-to-be, Carle Place senior Mia Babino is heading off to college with plenty of accolades under her belt.
As a varsity field hockey player, Babino has spent four years tearing up mid-field at Carle Place High School, which has a hearty (and trophy-laden) athletic tradition, including in its field hockey program.
Over her final year with the team, Babino has put together quite an impressive collection of awards herself. For one thing, Babino received AllConference, All-League, All-County Honorable Mention and All-Long Island 2nd Team honors. She also took part in the Nassau County Girls’ Field
Hockey Exceptional Senior game.
In addition to being a serious contender on the field, Babino has worked hard at her studies, and received an All-Scholar Athlete
award for her academic achievements in the classroom.
After an extended college search, Babino was ultimately the recipient of multiple
offers from Division 1, 2 and 3 schools. Babino said that keeping a balance between academics and sports was extremely important in her decision for where to begin her post-secondary career.
In the end, Mia chose to attend SUNY Cortland and is excited to become a Red Dragon next fall. In addition to bringing her stick skills to campus, Babino will be studying Elementary Education as an undergraduate.
Orlin & Cohen is proud to support our community’s best high school athletes, just as we support all athletes’ orthopedic needs.
Long Island’s premier orthopedic group, we provide sideline team physician coverage and athletic training services to more than 20 high school sports programs – and offer Walk-in Sunday Sports Medicine and Recovery Clinics for young athletes.

State Senator Martinez Introduces Legislation To Increase Protections For Wild, Exotic Animals
Senator Monica R. Martinez has introduced bill S6211, which establishes a definition for exotic animals and expands the existing definition of wild animals. The bill further prohibits exotic animals from being harbored, traded, imported, sold or owned as pets in the same way as wild animals.
“Wild and exotic animals require specific conditions and environments to survive. The habitats in which these animals live in the wild are far from conditions that exist in New York. Any business operating with the intent of profiting by selling these exotic animals should be held accountable under the law for the unethical treatment of animals,” stated Senator Martinez.
The bill clearly defines a wild animal as an indigenous, non-domesticated animal native to the country in which they live, and an exotic animal as a wild animal with an origin of a different continent. The bill further lists all families and orders that would be protected, some of which include sloths, kangaroos, hyenas, elephants, wallabies and armadillos.
This bill has swiftly garnered support from a number of organizations. John Di Leonardo, Anthrozoologist and Executive Director of Humane Long Island said,
“Humane Long Island applauds Senator Martinez for introducing essential legislation to amend New York State’s prohibition on keeping wild animals to include exotic
animals such as sloths and kangaroos. Sloths are tree-dwelling, tropical animals with sharp teeth and four-inch claws. They are mostly deaf and nearly blind when exposed to bright light. Red kangaroos are the largest marsupial in the world, growing up to 6ft tall and weighing up to 200lbs. A pet Gray kangaroo, which is roughly half the size of a Red kangaroo, made international news last year after he killed his owner and blocked paramedics from reaching him before being shot dead by the police. Wild animals are not pets and treating them like dogs or cats endangers children and animals alike.”
Edita Birnkrant, Executive Director of NYCLASS said, “NYCLASS is thrilled that NY State Senator Martinez has introduced much-needed legislation to expand the definition of ‘wild’ animals prohibited from being imported, sold or owned in New York. This important bill will prevent thousands
of non-native animals from being exploited and endangered by wildlife traffickers recklessly selling these animals to New Yorkers who may not understand that animals such as sloths, kangaroos, ostriches, emus and many others should never be pets. NYCLASS strongly supports the passage of this bill and will work with the Senator to help enact it into law.”
“I look forward to working with my colleagues to garner additional support and pass this much needed legislation. It is inhumane and unethical for wild and exotic animals to be sold or kept as pets in New York State. These are not animals that should be closely interacting with people on a daily basis,” stated Senator Martinez. This bill would not apply to facilities, sanctuaries and other exclusions under current law.

Raynham Hall Museum Delights Community With Love Re-Awakened Ball
Raynham Hall Museum has become known in the Gold Coast region of Long Island for its spectacularly fun and over-the-top fundraising events, and its recent party, the Love Re-Awakened Ball, was no exception.
The museum honored three outstanding local press outlets, including Anton Media Group. A group of renowned designers, including benefit co-chairs Jamie and Frantz Arty of Oyster Bay, and Tré & David LaVoúx-Ganci of Glen Cove, created individual tablescapes to transform the ballroom at The Muttontown Club in East Norwich. Gorgeous silent auction items, a robust live auction led by auctioneer extraordinaire Russell Koster, and a roulette wheel of wine bottles for a “Spinthe-Bottle” game completed the party. Live music, by the legendary Lester Lanin Orchestra, brought guests to their feet throughout the evening.
“These designers are all so immensely talented, and we love seeing all the beautiful but incredibly different looks they come up with,” said Harriet Gerard Clark, the museum’s executive director.
The annual event supports the nearly 300-year-old Townsend family home, bringing to life the history of Revolutionary War espionage, domestic life, and decorative arts. Contributions enable the museum to give back to Long Island school children with field trip scholarships, educational programs, and exhibits, as well as preservation of the house, its vast and intriguing collections, and other operational support.

Northwell Teaches Lifesaving Training At School
Student Sydney Brewer led the effort for critical training at her school.
Northwell Health led Stop the Bleed training for hundreds of students at Bellmore-Merrick’s John F. Kennedy High School on May 12. The lifesaving training taught students how to staunch bleeding from trauma in the critical moments before paramedics arrive at the scene, which has shown to often be the difference between life and death.
The training was possible thanks to the effort of Sydney Brewer, a junior at the school. Sydney led a fundraising effort and purchased 60 Stop the Bleed kits for her school – and was instrumental in getting staff from North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset to come teach the students how to use them.
“I’m the same age as the kids in the Sandy Hook shooting, and I knew I had to do something about it,” said Sydney, who is 17. “It makes me so proud that my hard work has paid off and now I can help people help other people.”
Gun violence is on the rise across the country, which is what spurred Sydney on. There have already been more than 200 mass shootings this year, which are defined
as shootings in which four or more people are injured or killed, according to the Gun Violence Archive. Additionally, this May marks the fifth annual National Stop the Bleed Month, which highlights the importance of learning this critical skill.
Students were shown how to pack wounds to stop bleeding and apply tourniquets. They also learned that gun violence is not the only situation in which this training can be used. Critical wounds can occur during car crashes, falls and when doing
yard work. A person with a severe wound can bleed to death in about three minutes, which is often before paramedics or police can arrive on the scene. Knowing how to stop bleeding from an open wound can save lives.
“Learning how to stop bleeding is a vital skill that can save lives,” said Matthew Bank, MD, executive director of the Northwell Trauma Institute. “This type of grassroots event is exciting and very feasible. The Northwell Trauma Institute is happy to collaborate with anyone to set up Stop The Bleed training events.”
Northwell doctors, nurses and EMTs taught more than 500 students at JFK High School during the day-long session, and are teaching hundreds more on May 19. When they’re done, the entire student body will be trained in stopping bleeding.
“I couldn’t be more proud of our students,” said John F. Kennedy High School Principal Gerard Owenburg. “Getting the kits was one thing. But having the training and the students having the knowledge has really brought it to another level.”

Hicksville Man Charged For Fatal DWI Collision In Hempstead
Allegedly drunk and driving at excessive speeds when
he
T-boned another vehicle, killing passenger
Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly announced that a Hicksville man was arraigned recently on aggravated vehicular homicide, drunk driving, and other charges for a June 2022 high-speed crash in Hempstead that killed a 48-year-old man and seriously injured his wife.
Oscar Argueta, 36, was arraigned before Judge Robert McDonald on charges of Aggravated Vehicular Homicide (a B felony); Manslaughter in the Second Degree (a C felony); Vehicular Manslaughter in the Second Degree (a D felony); two counts of Assault in the Second Degree (a D violent felony); Reckless Endangerment in the Second Degree (an A misdemeanor); two
counts of Operating a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence of Alcohol (an unclassified misdemeanor); and Reckless Driving (an unclassified misdemeanor). The defendant pleaded not guilty, and bail was continued as release to pre-trial services. He is due back in court shortly. If convicted, the defendant faces up to 25 years in prison.
“This defendant was allegedly drunk when he speeded down Greenwich Street and careened into David Popoola and his wife’s car as it crossed the intersection,” said DA Donnelly. “The force of the crash sent the couple’s vehicle hurtling into a utility pole and killed David Popoola. His wife survived the crash with serious injuries.
Our thoughts are with Mr. Popoola’s wife and family as we prosecute this case.”
DA Donnelly said that, according to the charges, on June 26, 2022, at approximately 1:40 a.m., the defendant was traveling northwest on Greenwich Street in Hempstead in a Dodge Durango while allegedly intoxicated and driving at a high rate of speed when he T-boned a Mercedes Benz G300 crossing the intersection on Curtis Avenue.
The victims’ vehicle struck a curb causing the car to flip into a utility pole. Fortyeight-year-old David Popoola and his wife were trapped inside of the vehicle after the collision.
Popoola was pronounced deceased at
the scene. His wife was taken to Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital with serious physical injuries and underwent emergency surgery on her wrist.
The defendant remained at the scene and was arrested by members of the Hempstead Police Department.
Senior Assistant District Attorney Alexander DePalo of the Vehicular Crimes Bureau is prosecuting the case. The defendant is represented by Dennis Lemke, Esq.
The charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless found guilty.

Seaford Man Sentenced For ‘Deepfaked’ Images Of Women
Altered images of more than a dozen women on a pornographic website
Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly announced that a Seaford man was sentenced today to six months’ incarceration and 10 years’ probation with significant sex offender conditions for sharing sexually explicit “deepfaked” images of more than a dozen underage women on a pornographic website and posting personal identifying information of many of the women, encouraging website users to harass and threaten them with sexual violence.
Patrick Carey, 22, pleaded guilty on December 12, 2022, before Judge Robert Bogle to Promotion of a Sexual Performance by a Child (a D felony); Aggravated Harassment in the Second Degree as a Hate Crime (an E felony); Stalking in the Second Degree (an E felony); and Endangering the Welfare of a Child (an A misdemeanor). Carey was sentenced today to six months’ incarceration and 10 years of probation with sex offender conditions. The defendant waived his right to appeal both his plea and the sentence. Judge Bogle also ordered stay away orders of protection for each of the 14 victims that will last the statutory maximum of eight years from the time of sentence. Carey must also register as a sex offender.
“Patrick Carey targeted these women, altering images he took from their social media accounts and the accounts of their family members and manipulating them using ‘deepfake’ technology to create pornography that he disseminated across the Internet,” said DA Donnelly. “These
incredibly brave women pieced together his depraved conduct and brought it to the authorities. They were not afraid, and they were undeterred. Now, Carey will serve jail time and undergo rigorous monitoring for the next 10 years once he is released.”
DA Donnelly said, according to the charges, from January 2021 through September 2021, Nassau County Police Department detectives from the Eighth Squad were contacted by approximately 11 women who had discovered images of themselves on a pornographic website. Many of the women indicated that the images, taken when the women were in high school and middle school, were re-posted on the website from their own social media platforms and altered to suggest the women were engaging in sexual conduct.
The images had been altered in what is otherwise known as a “deepfake” – convincingly superimposing the victim’s faces on other separate images of women engaging in sexual conduct. The posted images were also accompanied by personal identifying information, including full names, addresses and telephone numbers.
Separately, in November 2020, another woman reported to NCPD’s Special Victims Squad that she found a sexually explicit image of herself, taken when she was underage, on the same pornographic website.
Each of the women had attended MacArthur High School in Levittown and believed that the defendant was the individual who
was altering and posting their images and contact information. Some reported to police that they had received notifications from social media that Carey had “screenshotted” some of the images that appeared altered on the website from their social media accounts.
The investigation determined that most of the posts containing images of the victims came from three distinct usernames controlled by Carey. Through these accounts, Carey actively posted the images of the victims from approximately August 2019 until approximately September 2021, mere hours before his arrest, including posting the “deepfaked” images of teenagers engaging in sexual conduct with their personal information. Carey also encouraged other users to harass the victims, including sending them lurid images and videos and sexual threats.
After executing nearly two dozen search warrants on Carey’s cell phone, tablets, and other social media and web accounts, the investigation revealed Carey was in possession of several images of the victims and had shared them to social media and on the
pornographic website.
Carey was arrested on September 5, 2021, by detectives of the NCPD’s Eighth Squad.
New York State currently has no criminal statutes addressing “deepfaked” or digitally manipulated images of a sexually explicit nature, leaving a significant loophole that can be exploited by child pornographers.
“New York State currently lacks the adequate criminal statutes to protect victims of ‘deepfake’ pornography, both adults and children,” DA Donnelly continued. “That is why I am proposing the legislature take up the ‘Digital Manipulation Protection Act,’ that would close the loopholes in the law that allow sexual predators and child pornographers to create sexually explicit digitally manipulated images and evade prosecution. We cannot protect New Yorkers without making these changes.”
The Organized Crime and Rackets Bureau are prosecuting the case. The defendant is represented by Sarah Thomas, Esq.

Richard Woodwell Dies At 93. The Hicksville Water District (HWD) is saddened to announce that former District Superintendent Richard Woodwell has passed away at age 93. Affectionately called “Woody” by those at the District, Woodwell served as HWD Superintendent from 1983 to 1998, capping off more than 50 years of service to the Hicksville community. A Syosset resident, he is survived by his son, Justin. “Woody’s passing weighs heavily on the hearts of his family, friends and those of us here at the Hicksville Water District,” said HWD Chairman William Schuckmann. “I had the honor of working for Woody for many years and succeeding him as Superintendent following his retirement in 1998. He was a great leader, person and friend who truly put everything he had into ensuring that our community received the high-quality water service it deserves.” Woodwell was the definition of a “ladder-climber” at the HWD. He started out as a laborer in 1947, a time in which the Hicksville community was undergoing massive expansion. He would eventually become a meter reader, then water serviceman, then water plant operator before finally becoming Superintendent. His passion for service was not exclusive to the Hicksville community, as he also served his country during the Korean War and was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Additionally, Woodwell was a member of the Long Island Water Conference and American Water Work Association.

Armor Museum Hails The Preservation Of “Nassau Veterans Memorial”
As the future of the Coliseum is considered
The Museum of American Armor is welcoming a decision by Las Vegas Sands to commit to creating a “Nassau Veterans Memorial” at a cost of no less than $1 million on the grounds of The Hub inside Mitchel Field as part its lease agreement with Nassau County that will direct the future of the former Air Force base now at the epicenter of Nassau County’s economy.
The Armor Museum’s senior trustee Michael Sapraicone, stated, “This decision by the Sands recognizes an historic truth: Returning World War II veterans reinvented Nassau County as a vibrant, dynamic suburban community. In addition, Long Island continues to be home to one of the largest veterans’ populations in the United States. The naming of the Nassau Coliseum in honor of veterans was a decision made in the 1960s to honor their legacy. Today, through the efforts of Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, the Sands is sustaining that commitment with their pledge to create a worthy veterans memorial even if the future of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum is demolition.”
A mandate from the County Executive:
“Any deal concerning the Hub must have a component for a proper memorial to Nassau County’s military veterans,” stated Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. “That has always been a requirement in any negotiations.”
Under its lease agreement with Nassau County the Sands can use the Mitchel Field property for a wide range of purposes that may include a casino, entertainment, medical, residential, and a luxury hotel.
“Las Vegas Sands has a proud history of caring for and honoring our veterans. In Las Vegas we have been strong supporters of the Veterans Village in its role as a housing development for homeless veteransand we feel privileged to honor our service members here on Long Island with a new memorial alongside our proposal for the Nassau Hub,” said Ron Reese, Senior Vice President of Global Communications and Corporate Affairs for Las Vegas Sands.
Honoring the legacy:
He observed, “The Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum has an important legacy for veterans in Nassau County and throughout Long Island. We look forward to honoring that legacy and the service and
sacrifice of all Long Islanders who served in the United States Armed Forces.”
Sapraicone concluded, “By the very nature of its charter, The Armor Museum is precluded from offering an opinion on the current debate over the creation of a casino on the grounds of the Hub but we are compelled to acknowledge and thank the County Executive and the Sands for recognizing the role of our veterans. Their legacy is, and will remain, an essential tribute found within the reinvention of the Hub.
Located within the grounds of Old Bethpage Village Restoration, Old Bethpage, New York, the Museum of American Armor uses its 50 operational tanks and armor vehicles to replicate the sights and sounds of American forces during World War II, offering a compelling educational tool in telling the seminal story of American courage, valor and sacrifice. Placing it in this unique setting of vintage farm houses and country roads, it offers a virtual time machine that ensures a powerful history lesson for students, families, and regional, national and international visitors.

THE SHIN COLLECTION AND
It is astounding to think that a private collection of masterworks as wide-ranging and important as these could be assembled by a 32-year-old connoisseur, but Hong Gyu Shin is an internationally recognized figure in the global art world. He shares more than a hundred of his treasures with us by such greats as Whistler, Lautrec, Boucher, Daumier, Delacroix, Derain, Balthus, de Kooning and many other top-tier names from art history. Shin is a synthesizer. His credo: “Avant-garde visual culture, irrespective of traditions, is timeless.”

Massapequa Unified Bowling Gets Off To A Fast Start
Massapequa High School rolled out its first ever Unified bowling team this winter season. It is part of the Unified sports program that is offered to member schools within the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. Unified bowling is an inclusive sports program that focuses on the collaboration of students with and without intellectual disabilities.
Unified athletic programs provide athletes with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to participate in varsity athletic programs until they academically age out at 21 years old. Unified athletes are teamed up with athletic partners, who are general education students. All members of the teams are equal contributors, and all their scores equally count.
“The emotional support that the athletes receive from their partners is paramount,” Coach Jesse Meyer said, “but the partners’ score is just as meaningful to their role on the team.”
Coach Meyer, a special education teacher at Massapequa High School, said this year’s
team had 11 students on the roster. The structure of the competitions included eight athletes/partners competing across three lanes, while the remaining team members would be practicing on another designated lane. With two games per match, everyone had an opportunity to compete in at least
one competitive game per match.
Massapequa was in a six-team conference, competing against the five high schools in the Sewanhaka Central High School District. All games and practices were held at Garden City Bowl, which facilitated a support system and provided social
networking within the league.
Coach Meyer explained that the implementation of the team was driven by Thomas Lauria, a student who had previously been on the varsity bowling team but aged out of varsity sports eligibility.
“Unified bowling gives athletes an avenue to participate in high-level sports throughout their time at Massapequa High School,” Coach Meyer said.
Meyer explained that bowling, by nature, is an inclusive sport. The benefits for students on Unified bowling include building confidence, making friends and being part of a team.
Shannon McEntee, the district’s director of physical education, health, athletics and recreation, noted that every competition was a joyous occasion, as all athletes/partners and coaches celebrated everyone’s accomplishments, regardless of which team they played for. The camaraderie and sportsmanship among the athletes and partners were truly enjoyable to see, she added.

Wantagh Elementary Engineers Have A Stroke Of Genius
Wantagh Elementary School fifth-graders became the designers for a game they are likely familiar with from their family vacations. In the collaborative physical education and STEAM class project, students create a miniature golf course, then invited their families to come play.
Each fifth-grade class was responsible for designing a few holes. They had to build the obstacles using supplies in their STEAM classroom or the gym. Popular construction materials included cardboard and Legos. The physical education depart-
ment supplied the greens.
STEAM teacher Kaitlin Humphrey said that every class had a theme for its holes. Sections of the course were devoted to dad jokes, Legos, sports and Wantagh landmarks. In physical education classes, teachers James Brostowski and Melissa Edwards reviewed rules and golf etiquette, as well as the different types of clubs.
After school on April 18, fifth-graders were invited to come check out the 16hole mini-golf course in the gymnasium, and were welcome to bring their parents
and siblings. The student-made course got good reviews for creativity and for being not too easy, but not too hard. The following day, it was open to Wantagh Elementary’s kindergarten through fourthgraders to play during physical education classes.

College Sports Is In The Future For 16 Seaford Seniors
“What a wonderful group,” Kevin Witt, director of physical education, health and athletics for the Seaford School District, said about the 16 student athletes who have committed to collegiate sports teams. Seaford High School held its annual college signing ceremony on the evening of May 1 in the gymnasium, with administrators, coaches, parents and siblings there to celebrate the achievement.
Mr. Witt noted that nationally only seven percent of high school athletes play in college. The 16 committed athletes represent about ten percent of Seaford’s entire senior class. He noted that the college-bound athletes, in addition to shining in their respective sports, are exceptional students who represent Seaford High School very well.
The athletes will be heading to colleges and universities on Long Island, upstate
New York, the Northeast and as far away as Florida. The Seaford Booster Club provided a large sign with the college logo for every athlete, as well as balloons in the colors of
their future teams.
