Politicians And Nonprofits Weigh In On Formula Nassau leaders respond to national, local fears and mixed demand around baby formula shortages

JANET BURNS

jburns@antonmediagroup.com

ong Island lawmakers and community groups are weighing in on nationwide reports of baby formula shortages and potential ‘price gouging’ for the popular powdered foodstuff. Last week, numerous elected officials in Nassau County and throughout New York State responded publicly to reports of U.S. shortages on baby formula that have drawn international attention. On Monday, May 16, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it reached an agreement to address health and safety violations at Abbott Nutrition, the nation’s largest manufacturer of infant formula and one wing of multinational corporation Abbott Laboratories. News first broke in February that certain Similac, Alimentum and EleCare products had been recalled following serious bacterial infections in four infants who consumed products from Abbott’s manufacturing facility in Sturgis, Michigan. According to the FDA, changes at Abbott’s facilities will require two weeks before production can resume, meaning fresh supplies of Abbott products won’t be on shelves for another month or two (though competitors’ products may be). While some local leaders have commented cautiously on the situation, the many recent news reports about unstocked shelves, frantic parents, and long-ignored safety woes at Abbott are clearly drawing a stronger response from many politicians. “Reports of infant formula supply shortages are concerning, and we urge New York families to follow the department’s recommendations as we continue to monitor the situation in New York,” State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said in a statement. “The department remains committed to ensuring families have the nutritional support and resources needed to best care for our youngest New Yorkers.” On May 16, County Legislator Joshua A. Lafazan (D-Woodbury) announced a proposal for a Nassau-specific hotline to report price gouging on baby formula, as well as for more investigations by the Department of Consumer Affairs (his office did not provide details on these proposed steps by press time). Lafazan also called on the FDA to allow for the importation of formula approved by “competent regulators such as the EU, Canada, and Australia,” his office

Artist Ai Weiwei used over 1800 cans of infant formula to form a map of China for his 2013 exhibit “Baby Formula,” which references a 2008 formula contamination scandal that sickened hundreds of thousands of babies, and killed at least six. User chinnian, Wordpress Openverse, CC BY-SA 2.0

said in a statement. “It is a terrible thing to take advantage of people in a crisis who are desperate with few options,” Lafazan said. “It is utterly reprehensible and morally repugnant to do so when those affected are mothers and their infants.” Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-New York) also weighed in the same day: “Raising a newborn is already a difficult and stressful job for any parent, but not being able to find the appropriate formula in this country is unacceptable. We need to immediately invoke the Defense Production Act to address this crisis and provide relief to struggling families,” he said in a statement sent to press. Several days earlier, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) and Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin also urged the federal government to invoke the Defense Production Act, the Long Island Press reported (on Wednesday, President Biden announced he would do so). On Tuesday, Oyster Bay Town Councilman Steve Labriola announced he’s planning to co-host baby formula drives at local parks, starting on Sunday, May 22 at Marjorie Post Park from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. “The nationwide baby formula shortage is causing a crisis for many families throughout Long Island,” said Labriola in a statement. “We all know that once little ones move on to food, families are often left with extra formula in their pantries. We ask that you open your hearts and cupboards by donating unexpired, unused formula for families facing shortages and empty store shelves.” On Wednesday, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) announced her intention to introduce a bicameral Emergency

Infant Formula Act, legislation “to increase domestic production and expand sourcing of formula in order to alleviate the current crisis and prevent future shortages,” her office explained in a press release. “Compounded by supply chain disruptions as a result of the pandemic, this recall has created a life or death situation for many of the millions of families that depend on formula to feed their infants, and without immediate action to speed up the production and distribution of formula, babies who rely on formula may go hungry or starve,” Senator Gillibrand’s office wrote. But while legislators have made their feelings pretty clear on the matter, Nassau County nonprofit groups seem to be seeing a mix of reactions, and needs, in the communities they serve locally, at least for now. Long Island Press reported last week that some organizations around Long Island

have been struggling to meet demand for baby formula, and are ramping up drives for formula in the coming days and weeks. Meanwhile, Donna Teichner, LCSW, Assistant Vice President of Prevention and Family Support Programs for the Family & Children’s Association in Nassau County, commented by phone that she was “shocked” to report that, as of May 17, none of the churches or community groups she works with have called in to request formula. If they do, Teichner said, she has a small stockpile available from before the shortage. Teichner also said she’s confident that organizations and individual families would feel comfortable reaching out to her group if they did need emergency supplies of formula. “We’re a safety net in the community, and if and when it becomes an issue [for families who receive our support], they know who to call.” Amanda Nora Brooks, social work consultant for Agape Ministries Pantry, said that her organization’s once-a-week food bank hasn’t typically distributed formula, but that they’re now fielding requests for the product. Donations of baby formula from the public are very welcome, she said. “And if any governmental or community organizations want to use our site to gather donations of formula or distribute it, we’re more than happy to accommodate that.” Greta Guarton, LMSW, Executive Director at Long Island Coalition for the Homeless (LICH), also said she’s been surprised by the relatively low demand she’s seen for formula — relative to news reports, anyway. “We haven’t seen a significant increase in requests [for baby formula],” she explained. “We have seen an increase, but not as much as we feared.” “What we’re seeing is more requests for supplies from our food pantry in general,” Guarton continued. But donations of other foods and essential supplies have simultaneously dwindled. “We’re 100 percent donor supported, and previously [in recent years] when we’ve reached out to the community, we’d get in a truckload of food. Now… we hear crickets.” Guarton said her group hasn’t had to start rationing distribution of baby formula to the unhoused families she works with just yet, but LICH has had to start limiting general food distribution to a week’s worth of groceries per pickup; they used to give out three weeks of groceries at a time. While her group is happy to receive donations of baby formula, what they need most right now is non-perishable, proteinand nutrient-heavy foods like canned tuna, canned chicken, canned vegetables, and beans, Guarton said. They’re also hoping for more deodorant, shampoo, toilet paper, and feminine products soon, she said. And “always” more diapers.

Young Hearts Club Unites Seniors And Teens MADISON KANE editorial@antonmediagroup.com

ericho High School junior Ruby Shanker spent a great deal of time playing cards and hanging out with her grandparents during the COVID-19 quarantine. This led her to begin a nonprofit organization called the Young Hearts Club dedicated to enriching the lives of elderly residents of assisted living facilities. Shanker could not imagine her life without her grandparents, which reminded her about those who reside in assisted living homes and are unable to see their grandchildren or family members. She said, “I thought that there were a lot of people in assisted living and a lot of people in high school that didn’t get to have that type of relationship with their grandparents or their grandchildren. I wanted to give people the same experience and the same relationship that I had with my grandparents, who are fortunately still alive. That’s why I decided to create the club.” What started off as an idea in a young mind, sprouted and grew into a reality in February 2021. Shanker got in touch with a family friend who works at the Atria Senior Living on Roslyn Harbor. “My very close family friend works there in the kitchen facility, so she was able to give me a lot of connections to the activity center and that’s where I met the activity head and we started working together,” Shanker said. Her idea attracted another Jericho High School junior, Tess Silverman. She saw Shanker’s post on Instagram and immediately loved it. Silverman lives with her grandparents and has worked in nursing homes and assisted living facilities before, so Young Hearts was right up her alley. “Being involved in this club has opened my eyes to new relationships that I never thought I would value,” she said. Through the use of social media, specifically Instagram, the Young Hearts Club has spread drastically. Many people have contacted Silverman and Shanker to start a new branch. Since 2021, six more chapters of the Young Hearts have been started nationwide. Westchester, Manhattan, Melville, Plainview, Livingston, NJ and Cleveland are offshoots of the original Jericho chapter. Word of mouth communication also played a very important role in the expansion of YHC. Silverman said, “It was a lot of mutual friends and mutual connections. My camp friend is starting a branch in her school with her friends.” The seven branches are merely the tip of the iceberg. Shanker said, “Because of our Instagram and also because of these connections, we have seven branches, but we’re working to get around 10 by September.”

Gerry Goldner and her fellow resident, Eleanor, enjoying the company of Young Hearts Club members. The aspect of Young Hearts that makes it stand out so much from other community service clubs are the atypical relationships formed between residents and club members. For the past year, Shanker, Silverman and their secretary, Elana Kane, have met a plethora of residents, but someone who they felt a strong connection with was Gerry Goldner. Goldner is 102 years young and has been living at the Atria on Roslyn Harbor for a little over three years. Gerry has attended almost every single Young Hearts event. She said, “I feel stimulated. I get a lot of vibes from them. They are so patient with us and so beautiful. I love it.” Goldner has touched the hearts of the Young Hearts members in many ways. Tess has felt especially touched by her. “We did Zumba and she is 100 years old, and she was getting up and dancing with us,” Silverman said. “She is so personable. I think our club really touched her when her late husband died and she was on bed rest in her room and wouldn’t get out of bed. We went over with pumpkins and stickers to give her to decorate, and Meagan said that’s when she turned around and everything changed.” Shanker, Silverman and every member of the Young Hearts Club has made a difference in the lives of elders near and far. Much love is given for both recipients and the dynamic formed between residents and club members is very special. Goldner said,

These efforts undercut the Wilson Administration’s official policy of neutrality and set the country on a course which led inexorably to war with Germany in 1917.

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.

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.

Connolly Elementary School Launches Therapy Dog Program Students alleviate stress, practice reading skills with furry friend book, Notes on Nursing, she recorded how having an animal companion helped her patients recover. 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. Therapy Dogs of Long Island is a nonprofit run by volunteers who train their own dogs and bring them to children and adults in homes, hospitals, nursing homes, camps, schools, libraries and organizations. —Glen Cove City School District

onnolly Elementary School in Glen Cove is giving students a break from the “ruff” school day with its first therapy dog program. Students are given time to pet, unwind and even practice their reading skills with a therapy dog to relieve stress. Connolly began a pilot program through which selected students meet with a Chocolate Labrador named Maddie and her handler twice a month. 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

SPONSORED BY ORLIN & COHEN

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.

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.

Faith Lutheran Church Syosset Nursery Playground Gets A Revamp

jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

oy Scouts Troop 170 on May 7 ventured out on a cold and rainy morning to fix up Faith Lutheran Church Syosset’s nursery playground and power wash the fence. “The playground is a part of our nursery school,” Rev. Rebecca Sheridan said. “And our nursery school, like a lot of places, closed in March of 2020. We weren’t able to re-open in the 2020 through 2021 school year.” This school year, Faith Lutheran Church was able to open the nursery school as a morning only program. “It’s fair to say the playground was in some disrepair because it was not being used,” Rev. Sheridan said. “So we had some wood underneath the fence that needed to be replaced. We needed some power washing to be done, things like that.” Boy Scouts Troop 170 rose up to the oc-

casion to help create a fun, safe and clean playground for Faith Lutheran Church’s children. “Some of our members participate in the Boy Scout troop,” Rev. Sheridan said. “One of our members is our church liaison to the Boy Scouts.” The Faith Lutheran Church Syosset is the sponsoring church for the troop and Carl

Juul-Nielsen serves as the liaison. “They have been great since they came to us a few years ago in assisting in many projects,” Juul-Nielsen said. “They have helped spring cleaning and planting our gardens, power washing the nursery playground, cleaning vinyl fences, setting up Christmas ornaments and our Nativity Scene and even having a car wash for our community.”

The focus of the latest project on the playground was replacing landscape ties along the fence and enclosing the church playground. “It was a cold, rainy day, but the boys were troopers, egged on by their scoutmasters and parents,” Juul-Nielsen said. “There was a real team effort that exemplified how a group can work together to accomplish a tough task.” Also assisting in the project was the Syosset Home Depot. “I recently got elected to sit on the board of the Syosset Chamber of Commerce,” Rev. Sheridan said. “And, one of the other members of the board is a person who works for Home Depot. So, he had offered to donate the wood so that we could accomplish the project. We were able to refurbish the playground without needing to dip into any of our reserve fund.” The playground is now ready for the spring, and the summer program from the Faith Lutheran nursery school that already has two classes enrolled. “This will be excellent for our nursery school moving forward and in the fall we’re planning to open up again full-time,” Rev. Sheridan said. Juul-Nielsen added that this Boy Scouts troop has been “invaluable” to the church, allowing to make the church more beautiful while keeping the budget in line.

n March 31, Nassau County Legislature Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello joined with members of the legislature, Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joe Saladino and members of the town board to send off the region’s largest supply of donations collected by county residents to help refugees in Ukraine. The last boxes were loaded onto a truck provided by Hendrickson Fire Rescue Equipment, and will be driven to the Port of New Jersey, where they will be transported to Poland, to help the refugees escaping Ukraine. Last month, the Majority Caucus of the Nassau County Legislature and the Town of Oyster Bay initiated the collection drive and opened drop off locations at various county and town facilities. Residents were able to drop off much-needed supplies including medical items and personal hygiene products in an effort to help the crisis abroad. County locations included Eisenhower Park, Grant Park, Cantiague Park, Wantagh Park, Christopher Morley Park, Nickerson Beach and the Theodore Roosevelt Legislative Building. The donations were then stored at the Town of

Together, we have put together the largest collection in the region, and we have given those in danger hope.” In total, more than 45,000 pounds of items were collected for Ukrainians forced to leave their homes. It is the largest collection on Long Island of supplies for the refugees. “What is happening in Ukraine is a travesty. Thank you to the people of Nassau County for coming together to provide supplies for so many people who have been forced from their homes,” Legislator Steve Rhoads said. “The good will of the people of Nassau County has led to the largest collection drive in the region.

SYOSSET STUDENT AMONG SEVEN NEW YORK STUDENTS TO RECEIVE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARS The U.S. Department of Education recognized seven New York State high school seniors as U.S. Presidential Scholars, State Education Commissioner Betty A. Rosa announced. The Presidential Scholar recognition is one of the nation’s highest honors for high school students. A Syosset High School student named Eithan Anthony Chiu is among those students. “Each of these awardees is an example of the limitless potential of our young people to achieve excellence when given the opportunity to do so,” Board of Regents Chancellor Lester W. Young, Jr. said. “I congratulate them on this superlative recognition of their academic excellence and leadership in school and in their communities.” U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona today announced the 58th class of U.S. Presidential Scholars, recognizing 161 high school seniors for their accomplishments in academics, the arts, and career and technical education fields. The New York scholars include (hometown, scholar, school, location): • Jericho – Ethan Anthony Chiu, Syosset

High School, Syosset, New York. • Bronxville – Grace Gramins, Bronxville High School, Bronxville, New York (U.S. Presidential Scholar in Arts). • Brooklyn – Anya Graciela Jiménez, Professional Performing Arts School, New York, New York (U.S. Presidential Scholar in Arts). • Irvington – Brooke Dunefsky, Irvington High School, Irvington, New York. • New York – Eason Rytter, Fiorello H. Laguardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts, New York, New York (U.S. Presidential Scholar in Arts). • New York – Eileen K. Ye, The Brearley School, New York, New York. • Rye – Sean Yu, Rye High School, Rye, New York (U.S. Presidential Scholar in Arts). “Our 2022 Presidential Scholars represent the best of America, and remind us that when empowered by education, there are no limits to what our young people can achieve,” U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said. “Today, I join President Biden to celebrate a class of scholars whose pursuit of knowledge, generosity

of spirit, and exceptional talents bring our nation tremendous pride. Throughout one of the most trying periods in our nation’s history and amid our recovery from the pandemic, our students have once again demonstrated their strength and that they have so much to contribute to our country. Thanks to them, I know America’s future is bright.” The White House Commission on Presidential Scholars selects scholars annually based on their academic success, artistic and technical excellence, essays, school evaluations and transcripts, as well as a demonstrated commitment to community service and leadership. Of the 3.7 million students expected to graduate from high school this year, more than 5,000 candidates qualified for the 2022 awards determined by outstanding performance on the College Board SAT or ACT exams or through nominations made by chief state school officers, other partner recognition organizations and YoungArts, the National Foundation for the Advancement of Artists.

As directed by Presidential Executive Order, the 2022 U.S. Presidential Scholars are comprised of one young man and one young woman from each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and U.S. families living abroad, as well as 15 chosen atlarge, 20 scholars in the arts and 20 scholars in career and technical education. Created in 1964, the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program has honored over 7,900 of the nation’s top-performing students. The program was expanded in 1979 to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, literary, and performing arts. In 2015, the program was again extended to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical education fields. The Presidential Scholars Class of 2022 will be recognized for their outstanding achievement this summer with an online recognition program.
