Town Hosts Balanced Mind Workshop For Local Veterans North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena, the Town Board and Town Clerk Ragini Srivastava recently hosted a ‘Balanced Mind’ workshop for local veterans and seniors at Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park. The program, featuring acclaimed mindfulness speaker Ishan Shivanand, focused on introducing time-honored practices to veterans and seniors through new modalities. Supervisor DeSena welcomed Ishan Shivanand and commended him for his groundbreaking and innovative work with a proclamation on behalf of the Town. Supervisor DeSena also spoke of the benefit of the Balanced Mind program and the need for creative non-chemical solutions for youth and adults struggling with addictions and drug dependency.

The Road Not Taken: Conservatism Today Review of The Right: The Hundred Year War For American Conservatism JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

ooks on American conservatism will always be more interesting than those about liberalism, if only because the losing side has a more poignant tale to tell. The term conservative is woefully out of place in a nation built around high-flying rhetoric: “All men are created equal,” “Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” proclaims the Declaration of Independence. Even the more somber U.S. Constitution seeks a “more perfect union,” guided by “We, the people.” The Right begins with the glory days of the 1920s: The presidencies of Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge. Sick of war, Americans craved normalcy. With this Republican duo they received it in bunches: No to the League of Nations, closed borders, industries protected, the family farm boomed alongside such roaring cities as New York and Chicago. The Great Depression, caused by over-lending practices, ended those good times. The New Deal, punctuated by World War II, left conservatism stuck in a permanent Loserville. The conservatism of William F. Buckley Jr.’s National Review hoped to bring “the intellectuals around.” Those efforts failed. The heartland beckoned. The Buckleyites had no qualms. Buckley, James Burnham and Frank Meyer all sang the praises of homespun Middle American values. William R. Rusher wanted to form a third party in time for the 1976 elections, featuring a dream ticket of Ronald Reagan and George Wallace. Conservatives wanted to “stand athwart” history. Populists sought not just to stop it in its tracks, but overthrow the entire edifice. Such men as Joe McCarthy, Wallace, Barry Goldwater, Pat Buchanan and Donald Trump come in for special scorn. Warranted? McCarthy’s witch hunt against communist infiltration was entirely justified (see M. Stanton Evans’s Blacklisted By History). Wallace made his fame by opposing school busing. How’d it turn out? In the 1950s, American test scores were number one worldwide. Six decades later, test scores have the U.S. as 13th in reading, 19th in science, and a dismal 38th in mathematics. Busing—and the enormous dislocations it caused—are a major factor. Concerning trade, immigration and opposition to New World Order wars, has Buchanan been wrong

about anything? The prairie fire of the 1970s paved the way for Reagan’s 1980 victory. The Reagan-Buckley era had arrived. Was America a conservative nation? Was the GOP a conservative party? Was it a Reagan party? For eight years, Reagan had to deal with a Democratic Congress. In the Senate, the GOP was led by Howard Baker and Robert Dole, two solons who ran against Reagan in the 1980 primaries. Reagan was one of those great men whose strengths and weaknesses were one and the same. The man was extraordinarily amicable and popular (ask the Democrats). He also held a peace pipe to the liberal East Coast GOP establishment that he had defeated. George H.W. Bush was his running mate. Worse, Reagan named James A. Baker III, a man who did everything possible to defeat Reagan in both 1976 and 1980, as his chief of staff. That remains inexplicable. Reagan succeeded on the economy, while presiding over the retreat of the Soviet Union. If not for the defeat of Robert Bork as his 1987 Supreme Court nominee, the social issues leg of the conservative agenda might have triumphed. Reagan was a longtime New Dealer. A dose of liberalism remained in his nervous system. Reagan was liberal on immigration. In 1986, he signed an amnesty bill into law, one that did nothing to address the border crisis. The decade saw a massive increase in legal immigration. The issue would bitterly divide conservatives for the next 30 years. Meanwhile, the nation that elected Richard Nixon and Reagan to landslide victories was lost forever. Rusher had the right idea. If conservatives had a golden moment, it was not 1980, but 1970. That year, James Buckley, the pundit’s older brother running on the Conservative Party line won a U.S. Senate seat in New York. Conservatives had the best of both worlds: the Democratic and Republican party candidates both whipped. The Conservative Party was very much a National Review thing; its editors wrote the party platform and gave its candidates much publicity. When William F. Buckley, Jr. attempted to launch that publication, he was told by his publisher, Henry Regnery, not to base a conservative journal in New York City. Go where its reader base is. What if NR had been based in Washington, D.C., instead? A third party could become a national party. The Conservative Party has fallen apart, mainly because the New York that elected James Buckley has also disappeared. Americans did not want a Reagan

Revolution that targeted entitlement programs. They would take eight years of peace and prosperity. The turning point was not the 2003 Iraq War as much as the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Up until then, all American involvement in 20th century wars were initiated by a Democrat (World War I, Wilson; World War II, Roosevelt; The Korean War, Truman; Vietnam, Kennedy, and Johnson). Republicans had the honor of either ending those wars or heralding in normalcy (Harding and Coolidge with World War I; Reagan winning the Cold War; Eisenhower ending the Korean War and Nixon settling Vietnam). All that ended when George H.W. Bush went to war in 1991 against Saddam Hussein over the latter’s invasion of Kuwait. With the Cold War resolved, it was time for more of the same. Instead, endless war: Iraq, Somalia, Haiti, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq again, Libya and Ukraine. Conservatives supported them all. On the eve of the 1991 war, conservatism was still defined by three popular pundits: Buckley, Buchanan and George Will. Buckley and Will said “yes” to war. Buchanan said “no.” The latter’s argument was the road not taken. The author acknowledges populism’s legitimate demands: Border security, national sovereignty, “an emphasis on the condition of working people without college degrees” and a “reluctance toward humanitarian interventionism abroad.” Continetti just doesn’t view Trump as the right messenger. Continetti nails his fellow conservatives for not seeing the Trump wave. How could they? The Trump phenomenon was a white working-class thing. Conservatives live in Washington and New York. They are college-educated, usually at elite universities. Trump Country is a million miles away from their world. The Right is valuable history. It captures the sheer agony, pathos, despair and futility of being an authentic conservative in liberal society. The Old Right had ideas, convictions and principals. It lacked a political party to articulate those ideas into electoral politics. Conservatives have been routed so thoroughly that the only time they win is when the join the Left: Anti-Donald Trump, anti-Robert E. Lee and pro-same sex marriage. Compared to the cave-ins of the conservative elite, the hell-forleather populism of McCarthy, Wallace, Buchanan and Trump all had a lonely integrity to it.

t all started with a dream for Martin Freeman. That was the seed planted for Breeders, a British-American dark comedy about parenting co-created by the British actor with partners Chris Addison and Simon Blackwell that airs on FX. Freeman stars as Paul Worsley, who, along with partner Ally Grant (Daisy Haggard) are raising two children in London and dealing with the day-to-day of modern life. And while the premise doesn’t seem remarkable, the real-life approach in the plots is what sets this show apart from familial sitcoms full of precocious children and clueless parents. It all started with that aforementioned walk through slumberland for the Hampshire native. “I dreamt the scene of the first episode almost verbatim,” he recalled. “Those two things are cheek-by-jowl where one second you can go, ‘Oh my God, I would do anything for your kid’ and the next second you’re calling your baby a prick. I recognize those complexities. It sort of lent itself to me thinking that there could be something in this—a comedy. Yet it gets to points so dark and so harsh that I don’t think we’ve seen that before in a parental context. If it’s happened, apologies to that show. But I haven’t seen it to that extent that it’s hopefully very

realistic and three dimensional in a way that I think parenting and family life is. I partnered up with Chris Addison and Simon Blackwell and we created the show together. We’re all fathers. We all had an understanding that parenting is complicated—that’s not a new concept. We kind of laid it out there in all of our development stories where we were telling the least flattering stories about ourselves and the most embarrassing part of us being dads.” Now in its third season, Breeders mines the complexities of parenting with deft pivots that veer between relatable drama and pointed humor, something Freeman found lacking in other shows trolling the same subject matter. “We knew there was some comedic life in [parenting], where when you admit to your worst things, it’s very funny after the event, but not particularly funny at the time,” he said. “There were shows that I really liked that deal with parents and kids, but I was waiting for someone to scream at their kids. You’ve just told that kid four times to put that down and he just put a hole in the wall and you’re going, ‘Oh, come on, put that down.’ No, when is the bit when you truly lose your mind with rage at a kid through repetition and frustration. We wanted that to be very present in our show. I wanted us to have the bravery to go there when necessary.” Being a Brit of a certain age and someone whose love of music led to his being part of the 2015 documentary The Jam: About the Young Idea, Freeman was happy to share his favorite punk bands.

L LI IW IW LIW Buzzcocks (1976-1981; 1989-present)

The Jam (1972-1982)

“I love Pete Shelley’s voice and the dark humor of it. It feels like a lot of the best sort of punk of that kind. It’s that line between being an annoying little s*** and being a very profound poet. It’s this voice that niggles away at your brain. If you weren’t in the right mood for it or weren’t the right age for it at the time, you would have thought this was the worst music that ever happened. But if you were the right age, I was about five or six, so it wasn’t like I was in the sweet spot. But I was hearing it being played in the house—and it just felt subversive. For kids, that’s very attractive. But also, when you listen to it 40 or 45 years on, the lyrics of the Buzzcocks are really good.”

“What was great about The Jam was the amazing youth and talent of them as players. But also the prodigious talent of Paul Weller, who when the first album comes out, he’s 18 years old and his voice is all there. As a player, it’s all there. His voice is already really mature. They just hit the ground running and tapped into a certain thing about suburban Englishness that is unique and that’s why they still stand with a large swain of not only British people, but certainly suburban British people. We recognize a lot of that. People from just outside the city. That certain suburban thing is very much alive and feels very English.”

The Clash (1976-1986)

“One of the best debut albums ever. It was just amazing. They made a great racket and there is no one else like them. I quite enjoy their political pretension, even though some of it is clearly pretentious, but I like it. It’s just good sounds and really, really good songs. They made a lot of different sounds in the first few years of their career and they drew on different stuff really well.”

Sex Pistols (1975-1978; 1996; 2002-2003; 2007-2008)

“They had to happen. I do think John Lydon’s lyrics are truly brilliant on their first and really only proper album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols. The lyrics are really good and the grooves

are really great. I like them as a band but there’s no one else, before or since, like John Lydon I think in that incarnation of his work. He was the perfect kind of sneering, funny little upstart, which life is full of. Real life is full of those kinds of people, but show biz is not full of those kinds of people. Again, if you were over 30 when that happened, most people thought it was the worst thing that happened to culture. But you give it 20 years and even people like my mum ended up loving Johnny Rotten. When they first came out, she would have thought, ‘Who the hell is this?’ But then, you realize the world didn’t end and they ended up being so cuddly in a way. I think some of the lyrics to the only proper album are really good. ‘God Save the Queen’ is a great lyric. ‘Holidays In the Sun’ is a great lyric.” Breeders airs on the FX Network.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR NATIONAL POPPY DAY Wear a poppy to honor those who have worn our nation’s uniform. The red poppy is a nationally recognized symbol of sacrifice worn by Americans since World War I to honor those who served and died for our country in all wars. It reminds Americans of the sacrifices made by our veterans while protecting our freedoms. It’s

the time of year when you most likely will come across a member of the American Legion Auxiliary in your community asking you to “wear a poppy in support of our fallen heroes.” Know that 100 percent of the donations raised through the distribution of poppies by American Legion Auxiliary members has exclusively supported active-duty

military, veterans and their families in the following ways: • For the rehabilitation of veterans honorably discharged from the United States Armed Forces after April 6, 1917; • For the welfare of the families of veterans of the above name period; • For the rehabilitation of hospitalized military service personnel

returning home and awaiting discharge who require treatment in service hospitals; and • For the welfare of veterans, active military personnel, and the families of veterans and active military personnel of the abovename period where financial and medical need is evident.

Living In The Present

RABBI MOSHE WEISBLUM Every day counts to be fully engaged, making the most of each moment so we can enjoy more of them, love your family, appreciate the simple things in life. Are you living in a yesterday mindset? A prisoner of the past hardships? Are

you too worried about how you will survive tomorrow? Do you go to work feeling that your body was there, but your mind was thinking about yesterday, about what you could have done better? If you’re going to be appreciative and fulfilled you have to show up for life, be there when you get there. Not show up and be totally in the future and not show up and be in the past, living in regrets, dwelling on your disappointments. Have complete faith in our Creator and come into today. Yes, it’s good to have goals, visions, but try not to be so focused on them that you miss what you have right now. Sometimes, people lose the precious things they have by overlooking them and only going after what they want. They are so

intent on reaching that goal, slaves of that desire, doing great things, even their family is taken for granted, continuing to be distracted and thinking all the time about what’s next. Excessive preoccupation with the future caused them to lose the gifts of the present. Each of us has a mission with a personal connection to the Almighty, which gives us the ability to accomplish what at first might seem impossible. The way to this is by making each day count, bringing meaning and vitality to every moment. So be close, be connected to our Heavenly Father. Be grateful for the innumerous blessings our Creator shines upon us in the present. Don’t look for the road to joy, but enjoy the way and be happy every day!

Better Alternatives To The Multi Billion Dollar Hochul Brooklyn To Queens Subway Connection Already Available There are better alternatives to Governor Kathy Hochul’s new Brooklyn to Queens Subway Connection. The cost could easily be several billion more than the 2016. Regional Planning Association cost estimate of $1 to $2 billion. All MTA Chairman Janno Lieber could commit to is that the cost would be less than $10 billion. Hochul and other project supporters forgot to tell you about the existing G line service that has been running from Brooklyn to Queens for decades. It was built as part of the municipal Independent Subway (IND) system constructed in the 1930’s. Whomever provided her with the proposed system map, air-brushed this out.

Current G line service terminating at Court Square could be extended to Forest Hills, Continental Avenue. This would restore this connection which was

terminated several decades ago. In Brooklyn, G line service could be extended beyond Church Avenue to Coney Island Stillwell Avenue Terminal. This would provide connections to the D, N & Q lines. The G line Fulton Street train station is located several blocks from the Atlantic Avenue/Barclay Center LIRR/NYC Transit subway station complex. A simple underground passageway could be constructed. This could provide a direct indoor connection to the G line from the 2,3,4 & 5 IRT, B.D.N,Q & R BMT subway lines along with the Atlantic branch LIRR.

Have you ever felt stuck in a relationship with a difficult person, unable to get your message through, powerless to change the situation? Too often, similarly, our mind is stuck with a feeling of confusion and uncertainty. It can relate to the past, our attention focused on what didn’t work out, who did us wrong, errors we’ve made or our ambiguous concern for the future, thinking about our goals, objectives, finances, health, relationships and more. The common mistake of solely focusing on the past or on the unknown future is that we often miss the appreciation and the joy of the present.

Majority’s Reforms Helping Resolve Long Term Fiscal Problem For decades, Nassau County has been plagued with refund liability resulting from successful property tax certiorari challenges made by residents and businesses. Under the “County Guarantee,” Nassau fully refunds county, town and school taxes from these assessment challenges even though it only receives a small fraction of the original overpayment. This inequity costs Nassau tens of millions of dollars annually, has led to bond rating decreases and is largely responsible for the continued existence of a financial control board. Over the years, the refund amount paid out by Nassau

MAJORITY REPORT Richard J. Nicolello

County is in the $1 billion range, substantial amounts of which

were paid with borrowed monies. Meanwhile, county residents have received no additional services in return for these payments. Thanks to a dedicated revenue fund created by the Republican Majority, the county has a historic opportunity to pay off millions of dollars of outstanding tax refunds owed to residents and businesses. In so doing, we can bring the county’s tax refund liability as close to current as possible. The Republican Majority’s special revenue fund is funded by sales tax revenues in 2021 that were much higher than the prior administration’s wildly

erroneous forecast. In fact, in 2021 the county took in $360 million more than had been forecast by the prior administration. These monies will be placed in a “lock box” account to be spent primarily to pay tax refunds owed by the county. The Republican Majority’s reserve fund is a win-win for the county and residents; it will allow the county to finally pay refunds it owes to residents and businesses, and it will benefit taxpayers by eliminating millions of dollars in compounding interest accumulating against that debt. This could not have come at a better time as

residents and businesses continue to recover from the pandemic. Reducing the county’s tax refund exposure puts the county in better position with rating agencies, which can lower our cost of borrowing. It also is a big step toward ending the oversight board’s control period. This good government initiative will help resolve an issue that has plagued the county for decades, free up taxpayer monies to be spent on services for our residents and help boost our economy at this crucial time. Nicolello is the presiding officer of the Nassau County Legislature.

The Guidance Center’s Work ‘Beyond Our Walls’ North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center is known throughout Long Island as the pre-eminent mental health organization for youth and families, providing individualized, culturally sensitive therapeutic services that serve to bring hope and healing to those experiencing mental health challenges. For nearly 70 years, the Guidance Center has been listening to your needs and concerns, and responding swiftly and compassionately. Since May is Mental Health Awareness Month, we wanted to share with you some important information on our offerings. As we told you in our April Anton column, we shifted to a hybrid model of service within days of the pandemic’s beginning, seeing clients both in person and via a secure telehealth platform. But if you picture the work of the Guidance Center as taking place only inside our three buildings or via a virtual platform, with a counselor and client sitting in an office or communicating via a smartphone or computer, think again. Many of our innovative programs happen beyond our walls, in places that range from state parks to schools to homes. The Guidance Center’s Wilderness Respite Program, now in its 23rd year, provides a unique opportunity for at-risk adolescents to put down their tech devices and participate in hikes and other nature activities that help them gain confidence and make lasting friendships. Nature takes a leading role in our two organic gardens, located at our main headquarters in Roslyn Heights and our Marks Family Right from the Start 0-3+ Center in Manhasset. By weeding, seeding

and tending to the crops, kids blossom as they learn important skills such as self-confidence, cooperation and responsibility. The Guidance Center also has a Nature Nursery, where our youngest clients use all their senses as they touch pine cones or paint on an outdoor “canvas.” The textures, sounds and sights help children explore their creative sides and learn skills to help cope with difficult feelings. In addition to therapy, our Latina Girls Project incorporates monthly outings to places such as theaters, museums and more. These trips boost the teens’ confidence and sense of independence and help them discover the larger world. In 2019, the trips expanded to include outings for boys that also have been a huge success. Students from 5-21, who’ve had a hard time succeeding in school have a great alternative with our Intensive Support Program (ISP), held at three Nassau County BOCES schools. There, they receive academic help and counseling, with therapists on site to help them flourish emotionally and academically.

We also work in Westbury High School and middle school with our Teen Intervene and Too Good for Drugs programs, designed to prevent substance and alcohol use. For children and teens who need our help but can’t come to our offices, the Guidance Center provides intensive in-home therapy with our Clinical Care Coordination Team (CCCT). CCCT aims to lessen acute symptoms, restore clients to prior levels of functioning, and build and strengthen natural supports. Through CCCT, our goal is to reduce unnecessary emergency room visits, hospitalizations and residential placements. Our Coordinated Children’s Services Initiative (CCSI) supports families with the coordination of services in their homes and communities, identifying and accessing resources, providing advocacy and helping children and families gain the skills and tools needed to be self-sufficient. Through our Family Advocate Program, parents who have been through mental health crises with their own children are trained to offer peer support for families by joining them at special education meetings, offering support groups and providing many other resources. In addition, we have enhanced services to the clients in our Diane Goldberg Maternal Depression Program by adding yoga classes and self-care outings. As you can see, the Guidance Center is always thinking “outside the box,” creating innovative programs that meet the needs of the community and enhance the therapeutic value of all our services.

Dr. Sigmund Freud revived a public interest in animal therapy, specifically with dogs, in the 1930s when he brought his own pet Jo-Fi to therapy sessions and noted the calming effect it had on his patients. In 1961, Dr. Boris Levinson became known as the “father of animal-assisted therapy” when he accidentally left his dog Jingles alone with a young patient who was withdrawn and nonverbal. On returning, Levinson found the boy communicating with Jingles. He began using Jingles in his child psychotherapy sessions and wrote a book in 1969 called PetOriented Child Psychotherapy. Dogs are most often used in animal-assisted therapy because of their nonjudgmental nature and desire to protect others. Bideawee, which also has locations in Westhampton and Manhattan, launched its Pet Therapy Program in 1986 and trains handlers and animals to visit schools, nursing homes and hospitals.

The school plans to bring in more dogs and extend the program to any student interested in participating. “Coming back from the pandemic, a lot of kids began showing anxiety and nervousness, so this was one of the ways we wanted to help them relax,” Principal Bryce Klatsky said. “Dog therapy has been around for decades and has been proven to have therapeutic benefits such as reducing stress and improving mood.” Teachers Patty Lucci and Morgan Steiger spearheaded the program, which was sponsored by local business AMP Construction and brings in dogs from Bideawee in Wantagh and Long Island Therapy Dogs. The first few sessions were geared toward students in the school’s reading program and gave them a chance to read to dogs without fear of judgement. “It really helps children who are shy or afraid to read in front of their peers. They could pet the dog and calm their nerves when they read. It also gives them a bit of extra love, which is sometimes all they need,” said Lucci. While animal-assisted therapy has been growing in popularity in recent history, the practice has been studied for over a century. Florence Nightingale, considered the founder of modern nursing, recognized its potential in the late 1800s when she paired children and adults in psychiatric institutions with small pets. In her renowned 1859

Matt Sarni faced an uncertain future. The three-sport MacArthur High School athlete underwent Tommy John surgery heading into his junior year of high school. It would be easy for doubt to creep into the mind of a young athlete after such an extensive surgery. But Sarni never doubted himself, he simply plotted his comeback. He focused on his recovery and dedicated himself to

SPORTS

Athlete of the Month—Matt Sarni fully returning to athletics. His triumphant return has earned Sarni Anton Media Group’s Athlete of the Month. “I was extremely determined to comeback because I feel the most like myself when I pitch,” Sarni said. “Being away from pitching for almost 600 days made me realize how much I love it. This drove me to work hard everyday toward a comeback.” This year, Sarni was an impact player on MacArthur’s football, basketball and baseball teams. He also maintained a 100.76 weighted average in the class room. “Matt is a high-quality person who has the respect of his teammates and the entire coaching staff,” MacArthur baseball coach Steve Costello said. Sarni also made up his own rehab rules. To secure a spot on the football team, Sarni taught himself how to be a field goal kicker. When he was

finally able to throw a baseball again, and if no one was available to catch with him, he took a bucket of baseballs up to the MacArthur field and threw into a fence. To work on his mechanics, he would stand in front of a mirror and replicate his wind-up. On the gridiron, Sarni was automatic as a field goal kicker. He also made a game-saving tackle on a kick-off return by Mepham during a playoff game at Hofstra. In addition to football, Sarni was an All-Conference basketball player and was named Player of the Year by the Levittown Tribune. But baseball has always been where Sarni has excelled most.

A member of the varsity team since his freshman year, Sarni did not pitch his junior season but contributed enough to the team as a second baseman to be named All Conference and help the Generals reach the Nassau County semifinals. Sarni’s stat line as a senior is impressive. While playing shortstop, Matt is batting .377 with a .507 on-base percentage. He has struck out just twice in 67 plate appearances. He has 16 RBIs and 25 runs scored while going a perfect 10-for-10 in stolen bases. On the mound, the senior righthander is 4-1. In 28 innings pitched, he has a 2.00 ERA with 36 strikeouts and just four walks. He’s allowed one hit or fewer in five of his six starts. He has zero errors as a pitcher and shortstop. But Sarni’s focus is always on the team. “My current and former teammates have very high standards and expectations,” said Sarni, who will play baseball at New Paltz next year. “These coaches have helped me to become the person I am today both on and off the field.” —James Rowan is an Anton Media Group contributor.

Recycling Basics Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products. Recycling can benefit your community and the environment.

Benefits of Recycling

• Reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators • Conserves natural resources such as timber, water and minerals • Increases economic security by tapping a domestic source of materials • Prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials • Saves energy • Supports manufacturing and conserves valuable resources • Helps create jobs in the recycling and manufacturing industries This amazing home with park-like views at 73 Papermill Rd. in Manhasset sold for $2,550,000 on May 11.

Steps to Recycling Materials

Recycling includes the three steps below, which create a continuous loop, represented by the familiar recycling symbol. Step 1: Collection and Processing There are several methods for collecting recyclables, including curbside collection, drop-off centers and deposit or refund programs. Recyclables are sent to a recovery facility to be sorted, cleaned and processed into materials that can be used in manufacturing. Recyclables are bought and sold just like raw materials would be, and prices go up and down depending on supply and demand. Step 2: Manufacturing More and more of today’s products are being manufactured with recycled content. Common household items that contain recycled materials include ewspapers, paper towels, aluminum, plastic, and glass soft drink containers, steel cans and plastic laundry detergent bottles. Recycled materials are also used in new ways such as recovered glass in asphalt to pave roads or recovered plastic in carpeting and park benches. Step 3: Purchasing New Products Made from Recycled Materials You help close the recycling loop by buying new products made from recycled materials. There are thousands of products that contain recycled content. When you go shopping, look for the following: • Products that can be easily recycled • Products that contain recycled content —Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

By Holiday Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND By HOROSCOPES INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND ARIES (March 21-April 19). In the safe terrarium of your inner world, you can Tropical holiday believe what you want about your talents and go unchallenged. This week, you’ll be asked to put your true abilities on the line for all to see, which feels risky because it is. You won’t have to rise to the occasion, though; what you have already is mighty fine.

WORD FIND Tropical holiday

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There is no such thing as a perfect group. Where people gather for a purpose, problems arise. Outsiders wouldn’t understand the specific and unusual nature of the issues your group encounters these days, but you’ll be uniquely adept at coming up with solutions, and so, your influence grows.

Solution: 19 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The world can seem fixed, like its structures and relationships will continue on indefinitely, just as you’ve always known them to be. Of course, this isn’t true. Things were different before you, and they will shift again; only, this time, you’ll be part of the change. You’ll take the implied responsibility seriously this week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re being drawn into a vision of your future that seems ideal because the shimmer of the lovely parts blind you to the less-ideal aspects, which you’ll only notice once you get there. It will be worth the work to go anyway. So much of it will be right for you, and the rest you can make a game out of. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When fate leaves you to your own devices, you are lulled into the rhythm of your work-a-day schedule, mindlessly fulfilling various duties. But when fate pays a visit, it forces you into a new alertness. Whatever fate brings to the party this week, fate’s real gift is awareness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your mind will be like an ancient mapmaker who sketches monsters beyond the edges of the known world. Yes, fearsome creatures may inhabit the abyss, but more likely, the life that rises to greet you will be on a scale you’ve seen before and handled just fine, too. Feel the fear and sail on anyway. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will achieve a springiness as you keep the plot moving along this week, never stopping too long in any spot, floating from event to responsibility to conversation, all with the light touch that keeps you flexible. You actually have more control holding life loosely like this than you did when you gripped it so hard. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). To an outside observer, it would seem your day is ruled by the doctrine of absurdism, though the irrationalities work perfectly to make your life run smoothly. Perhaps the only absurdity is the notion that there is one correct way to run things in a world as colorful and varied as yours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As unpleasant as feelings of frustration can be, they portend good things for your future. They highlight your ambition and prevent self-delusion. They indicate that you see what’s not working and can hear the ticking clock. Your frustration will turn to curiosity this week. From there, solutions will emerge.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Peace grows inside you. You’ll be a grounding agent for the others in your social swirl. You may not even realize the many times you bring your environment into a state of harmony and production. With your talent for empathy, it’s almost like you’re able to live many lives. Certainly, your flexibility of perspective allows for decision-making, which elevates more lives than your own. A hobby will introduce you to fun people and times. You’ll try three arrangements before you get the best fit. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). One reason to practice acknowledging people with the fullness of your being is that you’ll start to realize that it’s enough. Your complete and tender attention for five minutes is better than hours of obligated service. You can say yes to a person without saying yes to the thing they want you to do.

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 19 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your body communicates through pleasure and pain you understand well, through aches that send a vaguer message, through sensations you’re not sure how to interpret. Yet, you’ll keep trying and learning because you’re committed to building an optimal relationship with your vessel.

The secret of good defense South dealer. East-West vulnerable. NORTH ♠ Q J 10 5 3 ♥ 10 ♦84 ♣K Q J 8 2 WEST EAST ♠— ♠642 ♥A J 6 5 4 2 ♥K 9 7 3 ♦Q972 ♦ A 10 6 5 3 ♣ 10 7 3 ♣A SOUTH ♠AK987 ♥Q 8 ♦KJ ♣9 6 5 4 The bidding: South West North East 1♠ Pass 4♠ Opening lead — two of diamonds. A competent defensive pair will often transmit highly valuable information to one another through the judicious use of signals. Such signals, properly interpreted, can sometimes spell the difference between the making and breaking of a contract. Consider this deal where South’s one-spade opening was raised to four by North. East had no safe way to enter the bidding at this

point, and he passed. It was later discovered that East-West, who never bid, could have made a small slam in hearts or diamonds. West led a diamond, won by East with the ace. East then cashed the ace of clubs, on which West played the ten, and was faced with the problem of how to put West on lead in order to get a club ruff. East found the winning solution by leading a low heart. West won with the ace and returned a club, and South went down one. Had East led a diamond at trick three, hoping West had the king, South would have made the contract. It might seem that East was lucky to hit on the heart return, but actually his play was much more than a shot in the dark. In a potential ruffing situation, it is often possible to use a suitpreference signal to solve a problem. In the given case, when West played the ten of clubs on East’s ace at trick two, he was signaling that his entry card was in hearts rather than diamonds. Had West held the king of diamonds instead of the ace of hearts, he would have played the three of clubs on East’s ace instead.

Last Game Of The Season The Great Neck North varsity baseball team played hard in the final game of the 2022 season

n a beautiful and temperate spring evening, the Great Neck North (GNN) varsity baseball team took the incredibly long bus ride to Long Beach to play their final game of the 2022 season. The Blazers played in one of the toughest divisions in Nassau County this season, taking on baseball powerhouses including Garden City, Mepham and MacArthur. Though often overmatched against these deeply talented and experienced teams, the GNN Blazers fought hard, game, after game and played some of the best baseball seen on the north side of Great Neck in many years. Coach Kevin Graham sent gold glove shortstop Mike Bornstein to the mound for the Blazers’ final game of the season. Bornstein pitched an extraordinary game, carrying the team on his shoulders for 5-2/3 innings of 2 hit baseball. Craftily mixing speed and location, Bornstein kept the Long Beach hitters at bay, inducing a variety of lofty fly balls expertly fielded by outfielders Zach Ziegler, Jack Kareff and Harry Sheidt. The infield was manned by Parker Cohen, Aidan Weinberger, Jacob Shakin, Leo Karpel and star center-fielder Adam Ohebshalom. He stepped in to play shortstop and is affectionately known as the best fielder out there regardless of which position he is playing.

The Mariners of Long Beach took advantage of a bloop here and an error there (and one solo homer) to carry a 6-3 lead into the sixth inning. Bornstein kept his squad in the game by picking off a runner at second base as well as expertly fielding a squeeze bunt and flicking the ball to catcher Karpel for the tag play. After Karpel, Bornstein and Kareff all managed to reach base in the top of the sixth inning, Ohebshalom smashed a bases-clearing double deep over the outstretched arms of the Mariners center-fielder, which dramatically tied the game. Tied 6-6 going into the final inning, Bornstein finally had run out of gas and was replaced on the mound by Aidan Weinberger, who threw hard but ultimately was touched up for a run in what ended up being a 7-6 win for the Long Beach team. Nonetheless, there was no shame for the Blazers. The team received a solid ovation from their contingent of family who traveled to the game and from the parents of the Long Beach players, who showed their admiration and appreciation for the great effort put forth by the Great Neck team. It was a fitting end for this group of Blazers, most of whom played together for four years, although one season was lost to the pandemic. —Submitted by Phillip J. Bornstein, Esq.

The Great Neck Public Schools is pleased to announce that five seniors have been awarded National Merit $2500 Scholarships through the prestigious 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program (NMSP). Scholarship recipients are Sahar Tartak of North High School and Matthew Tsui, Isabel Wang, Ross Williams and Jansen Wong of South High School. A total of 2,500 Merit Scholar

designees were chosen from a nationwide talent pool of more than 15,000 outstanding Finalists in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program. “National Merit Scholarship winners are the Finalists in each state judged to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills, and potential for success in rigorous college studies,” according to the organization.

Scholarship winners were selected by a committee of college admissions officers and high school counselors based on the following criteria: academic record, including difficulty level of subjects studied and grades earned; scores from two standardized tests; contributions and leadership in school and community activities; an essay written by the student; and a

recommendation written by their high school principal. The National Merit Scholarship Program includes several rounds of evaluation. The first round recognizes high school seniors as Commended Students, based on their outstanding performance on the Preliminary SAT (PSAT)/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Fewer than one percent of the

highest-scoring entrants in each state advance as Semifinalists in September, followed by the announcement of Finalists in February. This year, the National Merit Scholarship Program recognized 48 Commended Students, 32 Semifinalists, 30 Finalists from the Great Neck Public Schools. —Submitted by the Great Neck Public School District

about 136 corporations, company foundations, and other business organizations.

To the Jewish Community of New York

Compassionate care for Sinai Chapels families is now available at Riverside-Nassau North Chapels. Dear Friends, For four generations, Sinai Chapels has served New York’s Jewish community with compassion and care. After over 40 years of personal commitment to Sinai Chapels, I have decided to close the Fresh Meadows chapel to spend more time with my family. I will continue, however, to assist families as a consultant alongside many of Sinai’s longtime funeral directors who have also joined this accomplished team. RiversideNassau North Chapels specializes in all movements in the Jewish faith, and I personally selected them to serve families that have relied on Sinai Chapels for many years.

JFK STUDENTS SEND “GET WELL” BAGS TO YOUNG HOSPITAL PATIENTS Students at the John F. Kennedy School created more than 100 “Get Well” hospital bags for young patients at Cohen Children’s Medical Center. Each grade level developed a project idea for the bags that were filled with fun activities to brighten the patients’ hospital stay, such as puzzles, “pop-out” poetry, crayons and coloring items.
