TOP STORY
Hospital Expands Community Outreach FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com
I
t may be a regional health center behemoth, with eight specialties nationally ranked in the US News & World Report “Best Hospital” list. But North Shore University Hospital started life in 1951 as the humble 169-bed Manhasset Hospital, on 12 acres of land donated by the magnate John H. “Jock” Whitney. And as it grew to the current 738-bed iteration, part of the massive Northwell Health system, it never forgot the surrounding area. But recently, it has started enhancing its connections with greater Manhasset. “While North Shore University Hospital has grown to become one of the most highly regarded and specialized medical centers in the Northeast, it’s still a community hospital at heart,” said Jon Sendach, executive director of North Shore University Hospital. “We have team members who were born inside these walls and others who have chosen to live in this community. So while our connection to Manhasset and the Town of North Hempstead is undeniable, we believed that creating a role to serve as a liaison to the community was vital after the global disconnect created by the pandemic. Christine Patti has done the outreach to help strengthen that bond with civic groups and others who want engage with us—and we’re excited to do more.” The Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Associations (Greater Council) recently hosted Patti, who since November 2021 has been the North Shore Community Relations department’s program manager.
The hospital will be expanding the list of community partners in the upcoming months. (Presentation Slide) Greater Council President Richard goal of creating programs here and develBentley stated, “We’ve had good relations oping a relationship with our community with North Shore for a number of years in the Manhasset greater area.” and we want to make sure to keep it that Patti said she has put together a way.

She noted that, along with Northwell specialists, she had done several programs at the EOC already. The goal, she affirmed, is to bring health screenings, vaccination pods and food and other distribution drives—but also non-medical programs such as career workshops. “We’re dipping our toes in and just getting started,” Patti observed. “Obviously, there’s a lot of folks to meet and a lot of work to do and we really look forward to hearing the feedback as far as some of the things we can be doing, and hopefully to continue to make partnerships.”

COMMUNITY OUTREACH from page 3 Bentley asked if she had reached out to St. Mary’s High School in Manhasset. “Yes,” Patti replied, adding, “In addition, our director, Jon Sendach, has been meeting with a lot of different community leaders. He went over to St Mary’s. He’s been at a lot of schools that were mentioned.” She wanted to make high school students aware of the many employment and career opportunities available within the health care system—and not just medicine.

CRIME REPORT MANHASSET
Manhasset Is A Target For Car Thieves The Nassau County Police Department (NCPD) detailed that multiple cars were ransacked in the Manhasset area recently. Videos showed car thieves trying to open several vehicles parked in Manhasset driveways on Knickerbocker Road on April 24. Nassau police said car thefts are up 207 percent over last year. Three different groups of thieves were reportedly operating in Flower Hill, Plandome and other area communities. One car, allegedly stolen in Great Neck, intentionally rammed four police cars during a chase on Northern Boulevard, totaling two and causing more than $250,000 in damages. According to the NCPD, three officers and two detectives were taken to the hospital for treatment. Some of the injuries may be career-ending. Three suspects, two 16-year-olds and a 17-year-old, were taken into custody and a “ghost” gun was found in their car. Officials say that thieves use apps to search for wealthy neighborhoods and then look for unlocked cars with key FOBs left inside. They either take currency and other valuable items, or steal the cars outright. At a press conference on April 27, Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder noted that 98 percent of the cars stolen had their doors unlocked with the FOBs inside. The NCPD released its report of activities
at the Nordstrom Rack on Northern Boulevard. April 15: Employees at the AT&T store on Plandome Road reported that three unknown male subjects removed a JBL speaker from location at about 3:30 p.m. April 15: Brendan McCallan, 72, of Bayside, Corey Jessup, 52, of Jericho, and Deveron Laing, 52, of Hempstead were arrested for shoplifting at the King Kullen on Northern Boulevard.

Law Firm Charged With Diverting Funds NYS Attorney General: Manhasset-based attorneys illegally paid themselves more than $1 million from trust
O
n April 27, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a civil complaint against Paul P. Marchese and Robin S. Maynard, of Manhasset, who allegedly paid themselves more than $1 million in funds that belonged to the Harold and Helen Gottlieb Foundation, set up by their client, the late Helen Gottlieb. According to the complaint, the client established a $2 million trust for her assets, and when she died in 2008, those assets were supposed to be transferred to a foundation she created to support education, cultural activities, and provide food and shelter for people in need. The lawsuit alleges that after Helen Gottlieb died, Marchese—as the sole administrator of her trust—directed the trust to pay the law firm nearly $600,000 in fees, and both Marchese and Maynard—acting as the sole directors of the foundation—directed the charity to pay them more than $750,000 in salaries. According to James, the lawyers could provide no records showing that the client owed them any legal fees, and the governance of not-for-profit corporations must
be overseen by a board with no fewer than three directors under New York law, and any compensation of directors must be approved by directors who have no conflicts of interest. The suit seeks a court order to force the attorneys to repay the funds, along with interests and penalties. The complaint also alleges that Marchese did not register the trust with the Attorney General’s Charities Bureau, and provide the office with a report of funds transferred out of the trust. Marchese did not provide a report until 2019, after the office had begun
its inquiry, had learned there was a trust, and asked for an accounting. James is also seeking to bar Marchese from serving as a fiduciary of an estate or a trust holding a charitable interest for a period of five years, and bar both individuals from serving as an officer, director or trustee of a charitable organization for five years.
The Response
Timothy Gilles of Gilles Consulting Group LLC supplied the Manhasset Press with the following statement: “Marchese and Maynard and its
predecessor firm have been the exclusive attorneys for Helen Gottlieb, for her living trust, for her estate, for the trust after her death, and for her Foundation for 24 years. The legal fees and salaries paid during that time have been entirely typical and appropriate for the extensive work and broad range of services provided by the firm and its partners. “The missing documentation is a result of a fire in the law firm’s office on Aug. 14, 2020, as well as the loss of documents due to incomplete records transfer during multiple transitions—from handwritten paper time sheets, to a primitive floppy-disk computer system, and ultimately to a more sophisticated law office technology package. “As the Attorney General’s office is aware, most of these issues are already before the Surrogate’s Court in Nassau County in an action we filed last year. We are happy to resume discussions that stalled nearly a year ago with the Attorney General’s office to resolve this matter.” —Submitted by the Office of Attorney General and Gilles Consulting Group LLC

They were members of the Manhasset Newcomers Club, the Village Bath Club, Strathmore Vanderbilt Country Club and later, Port Washington Yacht Club. Vinny also played in the Manhasset Mens’ Softball League and had fond memories of the games played at Munsey Park School. Vinny enjoyed tennis and golf and was also a sports fan who followed the Brooklyn Dodgers, Mets (not Yankees!), Jets and Giants, but he enjoyed nothing more than watching his son Gregg play lacrosse at Manhasset High School, where he would pace the side lines. He was active in the Manhasset Booster Club and went on to watch his son play lacrosse at the University of Virginia. Later, he relished watching his grandsons play baseball and football at MHS. Vinny had a lengthy career in the Information Technology field and worked for several IT companies in the burgeoning field from the 1960s through the 1990s. For the last twenty years of his career, he was an executive search consultant in the IT arena and shared an office on Main Street in Port Washington with his partner Larry Janis of Sands Point. Vinny and Ann Marie became snowbirds after retirement, and in 2019, became fulltime residents at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, where they continued to make new friends and remain active. Vinny continued playing golf and bridge and he and Ann Marie hosted many wonderful parties at their home. His charm, sense of humor, integrity, and generous spirit will be missed by all who knew him. A memorial service in Vincent’s honor will take place at the Church of St. Mary’s in Manhasset, NY, on Friday, May 20, 2022 at 10:15 a.m. 232536 M

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. Those are the

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.

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?

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. Funaro Agency—Nationwide, Sportime, Empire Automotive Group, Pinelawn Memorial Park & Arboretum, Andrew McMorris Foundation, Wingmen, Seafield, Arrow Security, Connoisseur Media Long Island and Spectrum Designs Foundation.

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

Peas With Baked Ricotta And Bread Crumbs By Deborah Madison
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.

executive courses for visitors who are either just getting into golf or don’t have time to play a full 18. But Bethpage Black is so good, you should make time for a full 18. Just make sure you bring plenty of golf balls; the fescue grass there likes to swallow them up.
specialsections@antonmediagroup.com
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.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What you want to make or do may seem far away to you right now given your current financial constraints. But creative influences will inspire you to go at it a different way this week. What if you brought more hope to the problem? Because you’re open to them, unconventional solutions abound.

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.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Life is complicated enough. You see no need to complicate things further by having too many opinions and rules. Because of your tendency to keep it simple this week, you’ll be popular. Your social instincts are spot-on, too, and your breezy approach to relationships makes you extremely attractive.

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.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Once you know something, you often adapt so quickly to the knowledge that you forget how valuable the information really is. You’re not thinking about how much other people would love the information. You could help many (including yourself) through teaching, publishing, consulting or speaking.

Accidentally on purpose South dealer. North-South vulnerable. NORTH ♠A ♥9 7 5 4 ♦9873 ♣A K 8 2 WEST EAST ♠ Q 10 8 6 4 3 ♠9 ♥A 2 ♥ K Q J 10 8 3 ♦— ♦ J 10 6 ♣ Q 10 6 5 4 ♣J 7 3 SOUTH ♠KJ752 ♥6 ♦AKQ542 ♣9 The bidding: South West North East 1♦ 2♠ 3♣ 3♥ Pass Pass Dble Pass 4♦ Pass 4♠ Pass 5♦ Pass 6♦ Opening lead — ace of hearts. 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.

Weekend At The Scout Camp
Forty-five members of Plandome Troop 71 and their parents spent the last weekend in March at Alpine Scout Camp in New Jersey.

Spirits remained high despite the rain and hail; at the end of the day the troop relaxed around a roaring campfire. Troop 71 welcomes new members to its meetings on Thursday nights at 7:30 p.m. at the Plandome Village Hall, 65 South Dr., Plandome.

Gilded Dove Found, Restored At Church
ar back in the chamber that houses the organ pipes at Christ Church in Manhasset, there was a lot of dust. Maybe even 20 years’ worth. The space lies behind a little door only opened on occasion, then closed again due to the minimal need for access. But the space was explored more thoroughly in 2021 for electronic connections to a new organ console. An unexpected treasure was revealed: a carved gilded dove with broken legs. Standing about 10 inches tall with a 12-inch wingspread, the last known photos of the once intact dove were taken in 1966, where an image of the wall-mounted bird can be seen above the pulpit. Whether the dove was accidentally broken during minor renovations to the church in 1971, around the time that the Cassavant Organ Console was installed, cannot be determined. But its recent discovery in the organ chamber caused quite a stir, as some congregants remembered it, and the minister reflected upon its significance. “The dove, with its promise of hope and security, is so meaningful, especially as a symbol of the Holy Spirit,” the Reverend Stephen Tamke, rector of Christ Church stated. “The repair and re-installation of this dove will offer to all those who gather for worship in the church, or those who simply stop in to pray, a visible reminder

of our baptism into the community of Christian faithful.” He added, “We have in our midst a very talented model builder, our sexton, Enrique Valdes, who has worked to repair and restore the dove to its original beauty.” After the final coats of gold paint are dry, a location will be chosen to re-hang this
beautiful, symbolic sculpture. Christ Church recently completed an extensive renovation of the interior of the church, plus a new roof and enhancements to security and lighting outside. A replacement organ console is to be delivered this spring, hence the interior preparations. Finding the dove was an added bonus, and
with Enrique’s skill, it looks new again. Careful research into the provenance of the dove revealed it was originally a gift from St. George’s Church in New York City in 1830, representing the Holy Spirit. The church community wishes “A Happy 192nd birthday to our restored gilded dove!” —Submitted by Christ Church Manhasset

Elementary Schools Celebrate ‘Go Green’ For Earth Day
Students at Munsey Park and Shelter Rock schools celebrated “Going Green” for Earth Day last month. The students learned about ways that they can help the environment. This week is sponsored by the Manhasset School Community Association (SCA). Each day of Go Green Week started with schools’ principals reading “fun facts” about the environment during the morning announcements. These environmental tidbits were meant to inspire the students and staff as they start their days. Volunteers from the SCA put together lesson plans for the teachers to use during the week. This year, they included lessons on why it is important to protect the environment, teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg, and ways that the students can make an impact in their homes and communities. In addition to classroom lessons, many of the teachers bring their own expertise to the children during this week. The SCA is also grateful that many of the “specials” teachers, including the librarians and art teachers, incorporate Earth Day lessons into their plans for the week. Many students also participated in the annual Recycled Art contest. Students at both schools created works of art with recycled materials. The teachers voted on
the projects, and there was a winner in every grade. This year, the SCA organized a denim recycling drive. The student councils at both schools assisted with this initiative. On the last day of Go Green Week, Lynn Capuano led two assemblies at each school. She is the founder and president of Terrapin Environmental Solutions Inc. (TES), which offers hands-on, student-driven, K-12 environmental education programs and action-oriented professional development for teachers. With a focus on student-driven discovery, TES connects students to the natural world and current environmental challenges to improve cognitive development, self-esteem, life skills, and social connections. Offering both in-school and after-school programs, with single and multi-session options that can be customized. TES is a leader in engaging students across content areas in high-interest topics and providing actionable recommendations to empower them. For additional information reach out to Capuano at www. TerrapinEnvironmental.com. The students and staff always enjoy Go Green Week and had another great experience this year. —Submitted by the Manhasset SCA
