It’s Complicated: Putting Down The Bottle After The Worst Of COVID-19 Is Behind Us The years I spent working as a substance abuse counselor taught me about the “love affair” aspect of alcoholism. I can’t imagine the passion one feels for the only lover who is always available, especially during a pandemic, and who makes isolation a performance piece. There is a lot of acting out with a cocktail or bottle of beer to relieve the pain. Now that you’ve managed to live through the thick of the COVID-19 era, are you planning on killing yourself with untreated alcoholism? The statistics alone are enough to give you a hangover that even a bevy of Bloody Marys with organic celery ribs could not relieve. Gradually, while alcohol was killing more Americans than ever, Fentanyl became the scene stealer. With its superhuman powers to take a life with one short snort, one little line or one silent shot, it became the most notorious and efficient murderer the opiate-hooked population has ever seen. Meanwhile bars, liquor stores and supermarkets have been selling more spirits in greater quantities than ever. Why aren’t we talking about that? It might seem that overdose is a

young man’s disease and cirrhosis or kidney failure is the property of our much-neglected seniors. Drugs are darkly sexy. An instant overdose does not have the slow sad burn of a liver cancer diagnosis. To the young, ambulances, paramedics and cops on the scene of an overdose may seem somehow romantic. Yet while the disease of addiction progresses, if you survive long enough, the scene changes to nurses and doctors solemnly walking down hospital corridors to tell a family the tragic news of hopeless diagnosis. During the pandemic, while working from home, the “two-martini lunch” could become the endless martini lunch. And no one
had to worry that those few beers after work with your phantom co-workers was going to earn you a DUI or involuntary manslaughter charges because there was no driving involved. The rationale became, why not ingest to your heart’s content? If you want to live, you know what you have to do. But therein lies the rub. One question is, why aren’t most people suffering from a raging case of alcoholism looking for help to help them quit? Maybe they don’t feel like they’re suffering. Or perhaps the thought of not having the drink actually gives them something to live for, is a more frightening thought and is more painful than any hangover, broken marriage or night in jail. One has to wonder if asking a person to consider quitting is like asking an eagle to never fly again, never to swoop down from the heavens and grab some innocent rodents to feast on. The Buddhists say the odds of being born a human is the same as if there was a single round life preserver floating in the Pacific Ocean and every 100 years a porpoise popped his snout out of the ocean and happened to pierce the space in the life preserver.

odds of being born a human on planet Earth. If you were one of those lucky individuals who could reign in the excess when the masks came off and the world reopened, as it is written in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, “our hats are off to you.” But if you happen to have crossed that Maginot line, and the enemy, alcoholism, has breached your walls or just knocked down your front door, then your life is in jeopardy. There is a fool proof, 100 percent proof, solution—QUIT. There are many roads that lead to the City of Sobriety.

BDD: Body Dysmorphic Disorder John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars, has been credited with the following quote about mental health and illness: “There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.” Mental health is a precious commodity that is vital to our well-being. It’s important to protect it at all costs, especially in our current clime. For decades, mental illness has been surrounded with judgment and has been stigmatized by those who do not understand the disease. There are many different offshoots of mental illness, but by far the most prevalent that has affected many of our young people is the issue of Body Dysmorphic Disorder, also known as BDD. BDD presents as a series of intrusive thoughts that are pervasive and all-encompassing at times. Those affected by this disorder experience fixations and concerns about their body appearance, which can affect their ability to get through the day. Many times, those with this disorder have difficulty focusing on schoolwork, holding down a job, leaving the house or looking in a mirror. They require constant reassurance about what they see in the mirror, will constantly take “selfies” of their body and will avoid being around others who they perceive may “notice their flaws.” This disorder is not only isolating, but physically and mentally exhausting to the sufferer. It affects males

and females alike. As a registered nurse, I’ve had quite a few patients who have suffered with this illness. I have also had close friends who required assistance through counseling and medication to enable them to overcome the thoughts that held them down. In the past, I would receive photographs from friends who were “concerned about putting on weight” and dieted and exercised to the point of physical illness because they thought they appeared “enormous.” Our society is driven by advertisements for pills, diet plans, surgical procedures and gym memberships that offer the promise of a svelte figure. However, this only compounds the illness for a sufferer with BDD, as it reinforces the feeling of being unable to look “perfect,” no matter how hard they try. They also compare themselves to others and feel as though
CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE not something you will stand on a chair and try to kill with a slipper. Talk about leaving a mark. It reminded me of what Woody Allen said to Diane Keaton when trying to kill a spider in her bathroom with a rolled-up newspaper in the movie Annie Hall. He immediately came out, asking if she had a broom or a snow shovel, eventually settling for a tennis racket. “You have a spider in there the size of a Buick….” Originally from Japan, the Joro somehow made its way to the Southeastern United States, most likely through shipping containers.

had hearts. Unfortunately, some of those experts don’t seem to know anything definitive about them. Andy Davis, a research scientist in the Odum School of Ecology, co-wrote a paper with Benjamin Frick. Davis said, “People should try to learn to live with them.” Live with them? He also said things like, “They
they have failed themselves and those around them because they don’t think they look “perfect.” I have a very close friend who believes that she looks “like an elephant,” though she is very skinny. She regularly texts me photographs of herself and tells me that she looks huge. To be honest, she looks the same as she did two years ago when this illness reared its ugly head. However, I have learned that it is important to tread lightly and say things that are helpful, as certain wording can be misconstrued and further compound her feelings of inadequacy. I have also suggested therapy, for which she has recently found a competent therapist who specializes in body dysmorphia. If a loved one is suffering with BDD, there are several things that you should and should not say in order to help them feel understood without judgment. For example, it is important to tell your loved one that you know they are suffering. “I am sorry that you are suffering with this. I am here to listen” is a simple statement that acknowledges their feelings. It also lets the sufferer know that they are not alone, as many feel that they are suffering in silence and might even feel like their feelings are “stupid”. Non-judgment is key in helping someone with BDD speak to you. Let them know that you validate don’t appear to be harmful,” and although they kill their prey with venom, they are harmless to people and pets because “Their fangs are usually too small to break human skin.” Where I come from, “usually” doesn’t cut it. If they somehow do break the skin, their venom is the equivalent of a bee sting. And by the way, because of their size, they don’t have any known predators to worry about or control their population like they do in Japan. Maybe they have Godzilla spiders there? Although they haven’t exhibited an ability to buy a bus ticket or get through security at an airport (yet), how are hordes of them going to make their way up the coast, you might ask? They spin such thick, silky webs that their hatchlings use them for “ballooning” that will carry them on the wind to new locations, where they parachute
their feelings by saying something like, “What you are feeling is valid, but remember that BDD gives you a distorted view of yourself.” You can also say something like, “I know you are struggling right now, but you also must realize that these thoughts are not facts.” Telling someone that it is all in their heads is a put-down and throws fire on already volatile emotions within themselves. When my friend sends me pictures, I often tell her, “It looks like you are looking for some sort of reassurance. Is there anything we can do to help you to think about something else?” This takes the focus off the ruminating thoughts and enables her to see that there is more to life than just what she thinks she sees in the mirror. It also takes the focus off reassurance seeking, which creates unhealthy patterns of harmful thoughts. Responding to reassurance seeking with “you look good, like you lost weight” puts you as the consoler into the trap of constantly providing reassurance. The moment you stop, the BDD sufferer will lose trust in you. Changing the subject usually breaks the pattern and helps the person to focus on something else. Yes, it’s tough to do. Yes, it is

exhausting. The bright side is that it is helping her to focus on other parts of her life that are joyful. If you or someone you know suffers from BDD, know that the road to recovery lies in effective treatment. It is important to suggest that the sufferer get the help they need, but it is also important to understand that the road to recovery can take time and can be fraught with setbacks. It is a process. Being aware of the words you use, the support you offer and the encouragement you give can help them to feel less alone and isolated. BDD is an illness like anything else, and treatment is key so the sufferer can learn ways to deal with and treat it. Visit www.bddfoundation.org for more information about BDD.

where the Joro first arrived in 2013. “I’m trying to convince people that having zillions of large spiders and their webs around is a good thing.” Good luck with that. Andy seems to think we should learn to live with them because they aren’t going away. Benjamin Frick, Andy’s co-author, agrees with him. “The way I see it, there’s no point in excess cruelty where it’s not needed. You have people with saltwater guns shooting them out of trees and things like that and that’s really just not necessary.” Does anyone know where I can get a saltwater gun?

others Against Drunk Driving (MADD) will host its signature Walk Like MADD non-competitive fundraising walk at the Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater on Saturday, May 7. Registration opens at 9 a.m., with the walk program at 10 a.m., and the walk beginning at 10:30 a.m. Plus, this event launches the Inaugural Battle of the High School Jazz Bands, starting on stage at 9 a.m. Funds raised through Walk Like MADD help further MADD’s lifesaving mission and support the vital victim services and educational programs, provided to the community free of charge. Walk like MADD has three main components: • Remember: We walk for those who no longer can and alongside those who are learning to walk again. • Inspire: We walk empowered even when we feel powerless, as survivors when we have been victimized and with purpose when we have lost our way. • Commit: We walk with supporters who share our vision of no more drunk driving victims. “We walk to finish the job that was started by a grieving mother in 1980. Since then, MADD has saved more than 400,000 lives and has served more than 880,000 victims,” Regional Development Director Tara Spohrer said. “Walk Like MADD raises mission-critical funds to help save lives.” “On Saturday, April 22, 2017, my wonderful parents had just returned from a winter in Florida,” MADD volunteer Andrea Rothbort said. “We had a lovely dinner together at a favorite restaurant in Massapequa to celebrate their homecoming. After a nice chat outside the restaurant, we kissed and hugged goodbye and said our usual ‘I love you’ and went our separate ways to our respective cars. My beautiful
parents were killed by a drunk driver leaving that restaurant. I do everything in my power to honor them and make sure no family has to go through what we have.” There are several other ways to participate in Walk Like MADD if attendance is not possible: • Donate—Give to a participant or a team to help them reach their fundraising goals. • Be a virtual walker—If someone can’t be there in person, there are still ways for them to get involved and raise money for this important cause. • Volunteer—Help is needed the day before, day of or the days after the big event. • Sponsor—Consider becoming an official event partner. There are a variety of packages and every dollar goes towards making the community safer. Current sponsors include Live Nation, Uber, Legends Hospitality, GEICO, Washville, Lyft, Jerome Aluminum Products Corporation, Franklen Glass, Liberty Custom Contractors, Ridgewood Savings Bank, James V.

eborah Madison has published another terrific cookbook, Vegetable Literacy. Madison’s background as a chef and celebrated author took root while growing up on a farm in upstate New York, and then in a walnut orchard in Davis, CA. This introduced her to plants and cooking with the additional influence of her father, who was a gardener and botanist. Her cooking career took flight at the restaurant temple of West Coast cooking, Chez Panisse. Madison was also a student for 18 years at the San Francisco Zen Center, where she became the center’s chef. Subsequently, the seasoned chef was one of the founders of the restaurant Greens at Fort Mason, which is where I first encountered her food and her ardent support of the slow food movement, and the Seed Savers Exchange. Vegetable Literacy, published by Ten Speed Press, includes 300 recipes. This extraordinary volume opens our eyes to connections and relationships between 12 edible plant families including vegetables, spices and herbs not revealed before. For example, the Knotweed family includes buckwheat, sorrel and rhubarb. Knowing the relationship between these ingredients informs our use of them. For example, adding rhubarb to buckwheat pancakes becomes a logical connection by knowing that the two share a phylogenetic family and a natural affinity. In summary, Deborah Madison has opened our eyes to natural connections that taste well together. Here’s one of her green

Ingredients 1 cup of high-quality ricotta cheese 2 to 3 Tablespoons fresh bread crumbs 4 Teaspoons butter 2 Large shallots or 1/2 small onion, finely diced (about 1/3 cup) 5 Small sage leaves, minced (about 1teaspoons) 1 1/2 pounds Pod peas, shucked (about 1 cup) Grated zest of 1 lemon Sea salt and freshly ground pepper Chunk of Parmesan cheese, for grating Preparation Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a small baking dish; a round Spanish earthenware dish about 6 inches across is perfect for this amount. If your ricotta is wet

and milky, drain it first by putting it in a colander and pressing out the excess liquid. Pack the ricotta into the dish, drizzle a little olive oil over the surface, and bake 20 minutes or until the cheese has begun to set and brown on top. Cover the surface with the breadcrumbs and continue to bake until the bread crumbs are browned and crisp, another 10 minutes. (The amount of time it takes for ricotta cheese to bake until set can vary tremendously,
so it may well take longer than the times given here, especially if it wasn’t drained.) When the cheese is finished baking, heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. When the butter foams, add the shallots and sage and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the peas, ½ cup water, and the lemon zest. Simmer until the peas are bright green and tender; the time will vary, but it should be 3 to 5 minutes. Whatever you do, don’t let them
turn gray. Season with salt and a little freshly ground pepper, not too much. Divide the ricotta between two plates. Spoon the peas over the cheese. Grate some Parmesan over all and enjoy while warm. An alternative with pasta: Cook one cup or so pasta shells in boiling, salted water. Drain and toss them with the peas, cooked as above, and then with the ricotta. The peas nestle in the pasta, like little green pearls. Chef Alan Zox is the Cape Cod Culinary Incubator executive director.

t’s easy to get wrapped up in visiting the five boroughs of New York City when you’re on a summer jaunt to the Big Apple, but to miss out on neighboring Nassau County on Long Island would be quite an oversight. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Long Island Sound and Queens, Nassau County is a lively and lovely destination, perfect for summertime fun and relaxation. Here are some of the highlights of summertime in Nassau County.
OLD BETHPAGE
One of the primary attractions of Nassau County is the town of Old Bethpage and its Bethpage State Park. The town of Old Bethpage features a 209-acre Old Bethpage Village Restoration, a transportive experience that takes you back to the Civil War era. Complete with actors in period costumes and 51 historic buildings like inns, stores and churches all transported from their original sites on Long Island, the Old Bethpage Village Restoration gives you a taste of life before the hustle and bustle of modern life. Learn old-timey farming and crafting techniques at the living history museum, or throw back a stein of root beer at the Noon Inn bar. There are even newly-opened Escape Rooms for those looking for a modern twist on the historic neighborhood. One of the best weekends in Old Bethpage is Old Time Base Ball weekend, featuring games played with the rules and equipment used back in 1860. Bethpage State Park is under 10 minutes away from Old Bethpage and features five stunning public golf courses, including the famed Bethpage Black, host of the 2019 PGA Championship and numerous other major professional championships. Perhaps the #1 photo opportunity in U.S. Golf is the sign at the first tee of Bethpage Black that warns golfers, “The Black Course is an extremely difficult course which we recommend only for highly skilled golfers.” Golfers who don’t want to undertake the challenge of Bethpage Black will find a lot to love about the other four courses in Bethpage State Park. Nassau County in general is a haven for golf, with over 40 courses open to the public including three renowned 18 hole tracks at Eisenhower Park. There are even several 9-hole
SANDS POINT
Old Bethpage Village Restoration
Sands Point Park and Preserve is a great place to spend a day outside in the summer, with numerous hiking trail options that take you down to the scenic Long Island Sound. There are woodland playgrounds, outdoor family yoga, and guided nature walks available. But the highlight of Sands Point is Falaise, a castle-like mansion that’s now a museum. Originally built on a 90-acre plot of land given to Henry Guggenheim as a wedding gift in 1923, Falaise looms impressively over the Long Island Sound. Replete with 16th- and 17th-century antiques, cobblestone walkways, steep heavy tile roofs and a round tower, it’s a peek into the rich history of the historic Gold Coast lifestyle that Long Island has long been famous for.
SAGAMORE HILL
Sagamore Hill
History buffs won’t want to miss Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, an official National Park of the U.S. that was known as the “Second White House” during Teddy Roosevelt’s presidency. He lived in the house and reveled in the natural surrounding from 1885 until he died in 1919. House tours are offered daily, and there remains a great deal of natural beauty and a songbird sanctuary on the impressive property.
BELMONT PARK
Belmont Park
No trip to Nassau County would be complete without a day at the races. Home to Triple-Crown race The Belmont Stakes, Belmont Park hosts horse racing all summer long. Bring a family picnic or splurge on the fine dining offered at the site. Children will delight in the pony rides and petting zoo, and adults will enjoy the Longshots sports bar that simulcasts the horse races. Of course, there’s nothing like putting a few dollars down and cheering your horse to victory, so get there early and make a day of it.

ommercial real estate took a hit during the COVID-19 pandemic, as did many industries. But the market is starting to bounce back this year, largely due to increased investments in industrial properties. According to research by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), commercial real estate transactions of less than $2.5 million fell by one percent in the beginning of 2021 and the value of commercial real estate properties fell by six percent compared to 2020. Still, there is hope for the future as certain types of commercial properties are driving sales and seeing positive growth from the year before. Sales for all types of commercial real estate decreased in 2021, with the exception of three categories: land, industrial warehouses and flex spaces. While businesses were shying away from commercial real estate lending for apartment buildings, offices, retail shops and hotels, they were still spending money on properties and land on which they could build their own structures. The number of commercial real estate transactions may have dropped, but sales prices increased by two percent on average. Specifically, prices for land increased by six percent, industrial flex spaces and warehouses by five percent and certain types of apartment buildings by five percent. Sales
prices declined for retail shops, offices and hotels. Commercial development projects are also on the rise for industrial and residential properties. Construction activity is up one percent from last year with a whopping 12 percent jump in construction for industrial warehouses, a six percent increase for industrial flex spaces and a six percent growth for certain types of apartment buildings. Vacant malls are being converted into new types of commercial spaces, such as mixed-use buildings for residential, retail and office purposes, as well as industrial buildings for distribution and fulfillment. Office spaces, in particular, saw a decrease in real estate activity, largely due to an increase in remote work during the pandemic. Even though some people are heading back to the office, vacancy in these spaces continued to increase, reaching 16.4 percent from 13 percent in 2021. Seventy percent of survey respondents said their companies are moving into smaller offices. By 2022 commercial real estate activity is expected to recover across all categories as more businesses reopen, travel resumes and people return to the office. Sales for land and industrial properties are expected to lead this recovery process, proving their value as part of the commercial real estate market. —National Association of Realtors (NAR)

n a Zoom presentation on Monday, May 16 at 7:30 pm, photographer Ken Kurzweil brings viewers to Bhutan, Myanmar and indigenous areas in Ethiopia, capturing old traditions as they continue to exist in modern times. Exploring places both familiar and unknown, Kurzweil is especially attracted to the faces and circumstances of the people around him. He said, “Their faces tell me stories that I want to explore and capture hoping that others looking at my work will be similarly moved.” In Myanmar, he shot pagodas, towns on stilts, long-necked women and monastery schools and nunneries. He photographed the Tshechu “Mask” Festival, the most important religious festival in Bhutan, as well as the ubiquitous prayer wheel and breathtaking landscapes. In Ethiopia are photos from tribal areas where women wear lip-plates, where men adorn themselves to mimic the look of local animals and where he was able to observe and
photograph the rite of passage ceremony of a young boy becoming a man. Kurzweil’s work has been exhibited in a one-person show in a gallery in Toronto and has been in several photography magazines including feature stories in Street Photography Magazine and Extraordinary Vision. He traveled to India on assignment with Photographers Without Borders. Kurzweil was raised in East Meadow and currently lives in Westchester. This Zoom event, held on Monday, May 16 at 7:30 p.m., is sponsored by the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island. The suggested contribution is $20 per Zoom window.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll see what you’ve seen before. Your low tolerance for boredom will inspire you to go off on fascinating tangents. At first, you’ll do this alone, but when others see what you’re up to, you’ll have followers. People will be glad to have someone like you around to spice things up. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll experience a good fit -- a person, job, relationship or shoe that sets a new bar for success. What doesn’t work at all gives you the blessing of guidance. Then there are the things that don’t quite work. Their lessons are subtle and tricky. You’ll have examples in every category this week!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Have you ever seen someone juggle sacks of potatoes? Unlikely. It’s easier to juggle things that have form than it is to manage the unpredictability of floppy or feathery things. This week, you’ll get very good at compartmentalizing, which helps you balance a few different areas of your life at once. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You prize loyalty and honesty. These qualities have the potential to clash this week, as no one wants to hurt the feelings of the ones they are loyal to, and honesty sometimes allows people to see the merit in the opposing team or argument. Which quality would you choose if you knew you could only have one? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s natural and typical to focus more on others than on what you’re getting out of the situation, though you should be aware that some people are only out for themselves. It’s not necessary to avoid the “takers” altogether -- but do be ready for them. Know what you’re willing and not willing to give. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though a sense of belonging is essential to your well-being, you sometimes feel that wanting the acceptance of others is embarrassing. Consider that anyone slow in accepting you may not be right for you anyway. Loving hearts await. You deserve sweetness in relationships. Believe it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You understand what people are expressing, both the public-facing version and the private implications; you get the text, the context and the subtext. Because so many in the world are unobservant and incurious, interactions with you will stand out in people’s minds. Your curiosity will culminate in adventure. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Love shapes you. It contributes to your experiences; it is the reason for where you are in the world. You make your home around love. Considering how much you give to relationships and how changed you are by them, you’re right to be choosy about who you let into your heart.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS
Your bright mind finds much to explore this solar year. Certain curiosities will become passions. Give new interests three chances before moving to the next. Your life will start to organize around new favorite enthusiasms, and that’s when everything heats up at once. New ventures may seem to bring chaos, but don’t worry. This will be the source of big fun, lucrative work and epic stories. A co-creation will involve bonding, skill sharing and travel. Younger people thrive with your influence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are two ways to reduce the amount of stress flowing through your days. You can avoid challenges, or you can accept them with the mindset that you don’t have to get everything right. The second way makes life easier in the weeks to come. You’re getting so adept at handling things that, soon, nothing will scare you.

It is usually easy to play perfectly when you see all 52 cards, but there are hands that are difficult to play correctly even when you have that advantage. For example, take this deal where West led the ace and another heart against six diamonds. The slam would have been laydown had the trumps divided 2-1. But after declarer ruffed the second heart and West then showed out on the ace of diamonds, South had a difficult problem to solve. If he drew East’s remaining trumps, he
would not be able to ruff enough of his spade losers in dummy, while if he didn’t draw trump, East would overruff any attempt to ruff a spade. Faced with this seemingly insuperable difficulty, South managed to make the slam anyway. Acting on the assumption that West’s distribution was almost surely 6-2-0-5, South drew two more rounds of trump and then led a spade to dummy’s ace, producing this position: North ♥9 7 ♦9 ♣A K 8 2 West East ♠ Q 10 8 ♥K Q J 3 ♣ Q 10 6 5 ♣J 7 3 South ♠KJ75 ♦54 ♣9 South now made the key move of ruffing one of dummy’s hearts. This seemingly innocuous play forced West to make a crucial discard. If he discarded a spade, South would cash the king of spades and ruff a spade to come to 12 tricks. And if West discarded a club instead, South would get home by cashing the A-K of clubs and ruffing a club to establish dummy’s eight. Either way, West was doomed.

Northwell Health Collaborates With Teladoc Health To Improve Systemwide Virtual Care Collaboration to leverage combined Teladoc Health and Microsoft capabilities for improved patient care
N
orthwell Health announced on April 22 its collaboration with Teladoc Health to deliver connected virtual care and expand care delivery to patients both inside and outside the four walls of the health system. The new enterprise strategy will leverage Teladoc Health’s collaboration with Microsoft, improving clinical collaboration and communication among Northwell clinicians. Teladoc Health’s virtual care platform will enable Northwell Health patients to access the broadest spectrum of clinical services through a unified, branded consumer experience. Implementation will begin with 20 of Northwell Health’s hospitals, expanding over time to additional affiliates and will primarily enable direct to patient scheduled visits for all Northwell Health clinicians. “Teladoc Health is poised to help Northwell Health evolve its virtual care strategy through continued innovation that naturally extends its infrastructure to meet more patient care needs,” said Andy Puterbaugh, the president of hospital and health systems at Teladoc Health. “Our single, integrated solution, which spans
the combination of its Solo platform and Microsoft Teams to integrate clinical and administrative medical office operations. With Teladoc Health’s Solo with Teams, it will be even easier for Northwell Health clinicians to deliver care virtually, while simultaneously freeing them of administrative tasks and enabling them to practice at the top of their profession. “Northwell Health is driving to improve access to quality health care and to provide wellness support for our communities,” said Dr. Martin Doerfler, the associate chief medical officer and senior vice president of clinical strategy and development at Northwell. “This relationship with Teladoc Health will allow us to optimize our direct-to-consumer telehealth programs to provide the highest quality care and access for all; just as we want and expect for ourselves.” Northwell Health is New York State’s largest health care provider and private employer, with 22 hospitals and 830 outpatient facilities. The health system cares for over two million people annually in the New York metro area and beyond. —Submitted by Northwell Health

Award-Winning Violinist And Humanitarian To Speak, To Receive Honorary Doctorate At Adelphi Commencement
A
delphi University in Garden City will award an honorary doctorate degree to Kelly Hall-Tompkins, a renowned violinist, humanitarian and pioneer of social justice in the arts on May 23 at its commencement ceremony at the Nassau Live Center, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Hall-Tompkins will also serve as the keynote speaker for the event. “Adelphi is proud to acknowledge Kelly Hall-Tompkins with an honorary degree, in recognition of our shared ideals and the powerful impact of the arts on higher education, our nation and the world,” said Adelphi Provost Chris Storm. “We look forward to her address to our graduates and their guests, which is sure to be inspiring.” Hall-Tompkins is an award-winning classical violin soloist and chamber musician who has played for audiences across the United States and around the world. She was the inaugural Classical Roots Artist-inResidence with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and has performed with orchestras including the Baltimore Symphony
Orchestra, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, the Oakland Symphony, the Jacksonville Symphony, the Tulsa Philharmonic Orchestra, the Greenville Symphony Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra of New York. Hall-Tompkins also played the music of The Fiddler as violin soloist in the 2015 Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof. The New York Times named HallTompkins a “New Yorker of the Year” in 2017 in a profile that highlighted the charitable organization she created, Music Kitchen-Food for the Soul. Through Music Kitchen, Hall-Tompkins brings professional classical musicians to homeless shelters in New York City, Los Angeles and other cities across the country to share the transformational power of music with this disenfranchised population. Over the past 15 years, the organization has played to an estimated 30,000 people living in homeless shelters through more than 100 performances. Music Kitchen commissioned Forgotten Voices with support from Carnegie Hall, a
composite song cycle featuring the concert feedback of shelter clients from the first 14 years, set by 15 award-winning composers. Premiered individually exclusively for shelter clients throughout 2019 and early 2020, the complete song cycle received its World Premiere to a sold out audience at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall on March 31. At Adelphi’s 2022 Commencement, the university will also confer the 2020 honorary degree of alumnus Jose Singer Weisinger ‘73, whose career spans from business leadership and entrepreneurship to high-level service to his country, the Dominican Republic. Singer, a 1973 graduate of Adelphi, is adviser to the president of the Dominican Republic on international affairs and former ambassador and special envoy to the United Nations Security Council, of which he held the presidency in January 2019 and April 2020.

Pixar Co-founder To Speak And Receive Honorary Degree At New York Tech Commencement Class of 2022 Student Orator And Singer Also Announced New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury will award an honorary degree to Alvy Ray Smith, Ph.D., a pioneer in computer animation who continues to lead the field, at its 61st commencement on May 22, at the university’s Long Island campus. “The founding of computer-generated animation began at New York Tech and, in my mind, illustrates that innovation is an integral part of the university’s DNA,” said Smith, whose lab flourished under New York Tech’s first president, Alexander Schure. “Alex Schure, who had roots in animation himself, brought me to the Long Island campus in 1975, where, with his encouragement, we founded the Computer Graphics Lab. It was here that we, and a handful of colleagues, conceived a vision that would drive us from that point on: Be the first to make a completely computer-animated film.” Following the degree conferral, Smith will deliver the keynote address to the Class of 2022. In addition, New York Tech has announced the Class of 2022 student orator and singer. Bakhtawar Shahbaz, of Faisalabad, Pakistan, who is graduating with
Smith, who will receive a Doctor of Science, is an original member of the Computer Graphics Lab at New York Tech founded in the 1970s, and where in 1976 he developed the eight-bit paint system to ease computer animation. He is now returning to campus and will be honored before an expected audience of several thousand graduates, family and friends. A quintessential innovator and entrepreneur, Smith is the co-founder of two successful startups: Pixar, an animation studio he sold to Disney, and Altamira, a New York Tech will award an honorary degree to Alvy Ray Smith, Ph.D., a pioneer software company he sold to Microsoft.

He proposed and negotiated the Academy-Award winning Disney computer-animation production system, CAPS, and also was the first Graphics Fellow at Microsoft and active in the development of the high-definition television (HDTV) standard. Smith holds a Ph.D. from Stanford and an honorary doctorate from New Mexico State University.

Spring Hydrant Flushing Each spring the Garden City Water Department opens and flows (flushes) hydrants. This maintenance began April 18 and will run through May 10. Flyers that specify when flushing will take place in each neighborhood are being hand delivered to residents by Water Department personnel. This biannual maintenance program is essential to the operation. The village receives many questions about this program and why it needs to be done. This is an important benefit to residents, and the village would like to share with residents what it entails. Flushing water mains is a way to clean out a build-up of dissolved minerals inside the mains. This build-up is caused by reduced water demands during the winter months. These deposits settle to the bottom of the mains and must be cleaned out so that they don’t cause discolored water in the future. The flushing is done between the hours of 11:30 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. in order to keep the disturbance to water service to a minimum during normal water usage time. While flushing is occurring in your area, you may have some slight fluctuations in water pressure and temporary water discoloration. Here are some recommendations you can follow during flushing dates in your neighborhood: • Draw water for cooking ahead of time • Store bottles of water for drinking • Be sure to check the water quality before using your washing machine or dishwasher Mark your calendars now to be prepared when we begin flushing the water mains in your neighborhood. Any questions, contact the Water Department at 516-465-4020. Water Infrastructure Grant Awards New York State’s Environmental Facilities Corporation has awarded $638 million in grants to municipalities and public authorities for 199 water infrastructure projects across the state that protect public health or improve water quality. The Village of Garden City has been awarded nearly $17 million in Water Infrastructure Improvement Act (WIIA) grants to help offset the costs of installing AOP (Advanced Oxidation Process) and GAC (Granulated Activated Carbon) filter systems at various well sites. It was announced by Gov. Kathy Hochul on April 19. •Well No. 7: $3.1 million •Well No. 9: $3 million •Well Nos. 13 and 14: $5.1 million •Well Nos. 15 and 16: $5.46 million Garden City was previously awarded two other WIIA grants of approximately $9 million for the Clinton Road (Well Nos. 10 and 11) and Rockaway Avenue (Well Nos. 8 and 12) sites. The Clinton Road site grant totals $5,336,304 while the Rockaway Avenue grant totals $3,653,794. —Submitted by The Village of Garden City Mayor Veneziale
