TOP STORY
Suozzi Announces More Than $33 Million For Long Island Sound And Northeast Queens NATALIA VENTURA nventura@antonmediagroup.com
O
n the eve of Earth Day, Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) was joined with representatives from local environmental organizations and elected officials on Thursday, April 21 at Sea Cliff Municipal Beach to deliver an announcement of more than $33 million in federal funds to be distributed for the Long Island Sound and environmental cleanup projects across Long Island and Northeast Queens. Out of that $33 million, an estimated $31 million will be assigned to the restoration of the Long Island Sound, resulting in a 900 percent increase since Suozzi was elected in 2017 to Congress. An amount of $300,000 will also be distributed to the Oyster Bay Harbor, Huntington Harbor and Hempstead Harbor for shellfish seeding. Approximately 10 million seed clams are to be purchased and placed within the harbors. The expected results are for the clams to filter the water and expand their population for the future by producing enough larvae. “Congressman Suozzi has long been an environmental champion for Long Island. Friends of the Bay is pleased to hear of the $1 million increase from $30.4 million to $31.4 million in funds for Long Island Sound. We are especially grateful that $300,000 of the increase will go towards shellfish seeding in the North Shore bays. At a time when shellfish populations in some areas are struggling, this is very welcome news,” Friends of the Bay Executive Director Heather Johnson stated. “Community Project Funding allows members of Congress to request funding to support specific community projects that will have the most real-life impacts in their districts,” Suozzi said. “Of the eight projects that I secured in the federal budget, five of them are environmental cleanup and restoration projects. I have devoted a significant part of my past 25 years in public service to cleaning up the pollution, dramatically reducing nitrogen, modernizing sewage treatment plants and restoring shellfishing in our local waters. Since coming to Congress in 2017, I have fought for and successfully helped increase federal funding by 900 percent to clean up and restore the Long Island Sound. This $33 million, one of the largest single federal investments in environmental cleanup and restoration across Long
Island and Northeast Queens, will go a long way in restoring and improving the Long Island Sound for generations to come.” An allocated amount of $1,000,000 is for the rehabilitation of the Nancy Court Pump Station in Glen Cove. This project will benefit the City of Glen Cove to meet its growing water needs and bring it into compliance with a memorandum issued by the Nassau County Department of Health. “The City of Glen Cove is thrilled to be receiving this much needed $1,000,000 to be used for the upgrade of the Nancy Court Pump Station,” Glen Cove Mayor Pam Panzenbeck said. “Rehabilitation of this pump station is critical to meet the increasing water needs of our city. We are thankful to Congressman Suozzi for his continued efforts on behalf of the City of Glen Cove.” Another $1,000,000 in funding was distributed for the renovation of North Hempstead Beach Park, an 80-acre-location on the western section of Hempstead Harbor. This will help fund Phase I of a transformative renovation project of the North Hempstead Beach Park. “I want to thank Congressman Suozzi for securing this significant portion of funding for the first phase of the North Hempstead Beach Park renovation project,” Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena said. “Phase one of the project is currently underway and entails critical infrastructure work that will protect the esplanade and beachfront park from future flooding and erosion, while improving the quality of park experience through the creation of a living shoreline. I am so proud that after many years of public participation, planning and design, the town is making this investment for the future of the park, making sure this will be a place where families will be able to continue to make memories for generations to come.”

Legislator Lafazan Calls On County Executive Blakeman And GOP To Cut Several County Fees For 120 Days
N
assau County Legislator Joshua A. Lafazan (D-Woodbury) called on County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Republican Majority to convene an emergency session of the Legislature to cut fees for a 120-day period to provide real relief for Nassau County taxpayers for the spring and summer. The county gas tax cut will not take effect until June 1. With inflation skyrocketing, school taxes once again rising, gas prices rising, electric rates rising through warmer months, Nassau County residents need relief now. These fees include the Mortgage Recording Fee ($300), the Driver Responsibility fee on red light camera tickets ($45), Tax Map Verification fee ($355), and the Nassau Leisure Pass fee for special marked Leisure Passes ($30) for senior citizens, veterans, civic volunteers and people with disabilities. Additionally, Lafazan called on the Nassau Community College Board of Trustees to suspend their admissions processing fee and other government agen-

cies to review which fees they can cut immediately. Due to strong sales tax revenue and robust federal aid, Lafazan believes the county is expected to have a surplus at the end of the year and as a result, the county will be able to shoulder the cost of these fee cuts for 120 days. The Office of Legislative Budget Review (OLBR) will score this proposal to ensure that this is the case before it is implemented. “People in all different commu-
nities in our county are worrying about affording everyday essentials like groceries or gasoline,” Lafazan said. “They’re worried about their looming school tax bills. They’re worried about saving for college, and planning for retirement, and supporting their quality of life. Our residents can’t afford to wait, and we must take action now by temporarily cutting these fees in our county.” —Submitted by the Office of Legislator Josh Lafazan

All of Us Film Premiere Inspired By Brookville Multifaith Campus
C
Featuring local faith groups and leaders from Long Island
ome to Gold Coast Cinemas in the Hillwood Commons on the LIU Post Campus of Long Island University located in Greenvale on Sunday, May 15, at 2 p.m. for the world premiere of All of Us. Admission is free, but reservations are required and seating capacity is limited. Visit www.allofusfilmpremiere. eventbrite.com to reserve tickets. International documentary filmmaker Pierre Pirard shares examples of hope and inspiration from Brookville and around the world. This 90-minute film tells stories of people from across the globe who dare to embrace others who are different from themselves, despite tremendous challenges. Against the backdrop of tensions in the Middle East, refugee camps and former war zones, this film chronicles people and groups who are doing their part to change the narrative about fear and distrust to that of cooperation
and healing. In a time of great division in the world, these stories can inspire current and future leaders, and influencers to find their own paths toward peace. Families working through religious or other differences can find a home in Brookville, where each faith is honored and respected, while finding ways to work together to serve the community and beyond. Rev. Vicky L. Eastland of Brookville Multifaith Campus said, “We are humbled that what we are doing to build bridges of peace among religions in our little corner of the world is being celebrated and included along with others from across the globe who are effecting similar change in their communities.” The screening will be followed by a question and answer session with leaders from the Brookville Multifaith Campus, whose story is an integral part of the film.

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

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. Don’t stop trying to find the path you can trudge to distance yourself from that next drink or a soft cushy coffin. The choice is yours.

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. Bug experts seem to believe that due to their metabolism and heart rates, they can survive in the colder weather of the Northeast. I didn’t even know spiders

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

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. To sign up email office@ehsli.org and instructions will be sent. Or send a check to EHSLI to 38 Old Country Road, Garden City NY 11530. Include email with the check.

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.

Town To Host The Special Olympics Spring Games
More than 500 Athletes to compete in Olympic-style contest on May 21
O
yster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino today announced that the town will again host the prestigious Special Olympics Spring Games in partnership with Special Olympics New York. Held at the Farmingdale Athletic Complex on Saturday, May 21, the games will include a full-day of competitive track and field events for over 500 athletes supported by more than 300 coaches. These athletes—children and adults with intellectual disabilities—have dedicated months to training for an Olympic-style competition that will culminate with the contest during these Spring Games. “Special Olympics are an opportunity to showcase the hard work, dedication, talents, and tremendous athletic achievements of athletes, while also paving the way to eliminate social barriers and
stereotypes differently-abled individuals face,” said Saladino said. “The Town of Oyster Bay is very proud to be a partner with Special Olympics New York and the Farmingdale School District in making this important event a reality. I hope you’ll join us in witnessing the joy, courage, and determination of these inspirational athletes.” “Special Olympics New York provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-style sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, providing them a continuing opportunity to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, make friends, and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills, and friendship with their families,” Downstate Operations Special Olympics New York Vice President Diane Colonna said before adding,
“We are honored that the Farmingdale School District will host our Spring Games and make a difference in the lives of these athletes.” The event will be held on Saturday, May 21, at the Farmingdale Athletic Complex at Howitt Middle School. Visit www. farmingdaleschools.org for more information on how to get involved. If you are eligible to participate in the games, visit www.specialolympics-ny.org to register. “This event would be impossible without the generosity of our sponsors, including Optimum, MSG Networks, and 7- Eleven, as well as the residents and volunteers who attend to cheer on these dedicated athletes,” Saladino said. “We hope to see you in the stands on May 21 to show your support for Special Olympics in our community. All are welcome.” —Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay
Police: ‘Lock It Or Lose It’
The Nassau County Police Department urges all residents to lock their vehicles and remove their keys (FOB) from the vehicle, day or night. In addition, never leave valuables in view, whether parked in the driveway, on the street, or in a parking lot while shopping. Car thefts and break-ins (and attempts) remain a crime of opportunity, especially in more affluent neighborhoods. Police note thieves are increasing and shifting their searches from evening to the daytime. To the thief it’s a “lower risk” crime. When a thief enters an unlocked car, rummages and leave with nothing, it becomes nuisance crime activity and very difficult to effectively prosecute. However, even if thieves get just a few successful thefts of possessions or the whole car in a neighborhood, that area remains an attractive target to thieves. The Sixth Precinct does remain on constant marked and unmarked vigilant patrols for this activity. How residents can help: Call 911 if they see suspicious activity such as unknown persons walking or driving slowing on their block (scouting for targets), checking car door handles, etc. Thieves often intentionally conceal their face with masks or hooded shirt/ jackets as they search. If victimized, they should call 911 as soon as they discover it. Some residents feel embarrassed and don’t even report incidents to police when nothing is taken. Don’t be embarrassed— any details of such activity does help
Side mirrors on many luxury vehicles retract when the vehicle and the FOB is removed. This makes it easier for thieves to know if they should target the vehicle. (Creative Commons | Piqsels)
police investigations. Residents with a surveillance system that captures suspicious persons or vehicle license plates should give that information or video to responding police. In some more modern vehicles, when the keys(FOB) are left in the car, often the mirrors remain standing out; when the FOB is removed from car, mirrors automatically fold inward. Thieves look for these greater opportunities. For older vehicles, be aware that vehicle catalytic converter thefts are on the rise due to its expensive replacement cost, which can be $1,000 or more. Experienced thieves can crawl under a car and cut out the catalytic converter in under two minutes, even doing it in crowded car parking lots and even in broad daylight. It’s a part of a vehicle exhaust system that converts harmful gas engine exhaust to less harmful emissions (smaller than a muffler), with a life of 10 years or more. It often causes your check engine lamp to illuminate and replacement is needed to pass a NYS required annual inspection vehicle emission test. The precious metal global scarcity and cost is making catalytic converters more prone to theft. If you do need a replacement, be suspicious of low cost used parts as they are often unscrupulous stolen parts, exacerbating this criminal activity; Always use a reputable mechanic. —Submitted by the Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Associations

The Best Revenge The Last American Aristocrat: The Brilliant Life and Improbable Education of Henry Adams
JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com
I
n 2000, the Modern Library released its 100 Best Non-fiction books of the twentieth century. It represented a revenge of the Brahmins. The Education of Henry Adams by the author of that same name was number one, followed by William James’s The Varieties of Religious Experiences. Rounding out the Top Ten was T.S. Eliot’s Selected Essays. Adams, the subject of a new biography by David S. Brown, remains a source of fascination. Not just through his writings, but his lineage. The grandson of John Quincy Adams, great-grandson of John Adams, Henry Adams was there when it happened, when the United States made its transformation from an agrarian republic to its current urban-industrial order. The nation of Adam’s forefathers was gone. The man knew it, but unlike Eliot or Henry James, he did not become an expatriate. He traveled widely. Home, however, was not Boston or New York, but instead Washington, D.C., where the man set up a literary salon and wrote prodigiously. Adams had the means to do so. As heir to the Adams family, he lived on a trust fund that freed him from everyday work and allowed him to travel the globe. He didn’t waste his time. Adams taught history at Harvard University and was editor of The North American Review. Magistral works flowed from his pen, most notably A History Of the United States During the Administrations of Thomas Jefferson and A History of the United States During The Administrations of James Madison, a nine-volume effort that covered all of 17 years (1800 to 1817) of American history. Education was his most famous work, winning the 1919 Pulitzer Prize, awarded a year after Adams’s own passing. History, however, is the most stupendous work of scholarship by an American. Nine volumes covering 17 years! What was happening in that long-vanquished republic? The man’s life was struck by tragedy. In 1872, Adams married a fellow New Englander, Marian Hopper, dubbed “Clover.” Melancholy runs deep in the New England heartland. Is it the weather? The failure to perfect a fallen world? Clover’s family, as with so many other New England tribes, was plagued by suicide. When Clover lost her beloved father in 1885, the young woman was doomed. Henry James casually termed Clover’s suicide as “hereditary melancholy.” After her death, Adams carried on. He told friends
Henry Adams seated with dog on steps of piazza, c. 1883 that his own life was now “posthumous.” He would continue to write, publishing, however, only for a select group of friends. The free market won out and Adams’s books eventually found a major publisher and a world-wide audience. Still, the man carried a heavy burden. Adams was a man constantly searching for something. He did not reject modernity entirely. Near the end of his life, he purchased a German-made automobile and enjoyed its guilty pleasures. He also predicted, without any regrets, that a car culture would conquer the nation. A true aristocrat, Adams had no use for universal suffrage. An 1880 novel, Democracy, skewered the corruption and excesses of the administration of Ulysses S. Grant. Where to turn? Adams traveled the world. Unlike his fellow New Englanders, he did not romanticize non-European cultures; he didn’t disdain them, either. Adams found his ideal in Europe, not in his ancestral England, but in France, specifically the Mont-Saint-Michel Chartres cathedral, which he memorialized in a 1904 book. Adams was a true conservative. He sought not democracy, but tradition, stability, duty and continuity. And he found it in the high Middle Ages culture of southern France. The book is also a brief overview of those once-mighty East Coast elites: Not just the Adams family, but Henry

James, William James, John Hay, Henry Cabot Lodge, Charles Eliot and Theodore Roosevelt. If Harvard ever had a Golden Age, it was during Eliot’s 40-year reign (1869 to 1909) as university president. What went haywire? Was the burden of leadership too great for the old Ivy League elite to bear? Was it obliterated by the two world wars? The shocking upheavals of the 1960s? Their world is long gone, but what replaced it has hardly been an improvement.
This biography is not for fans of Henry Adams. The author, as with many biographers, steps on his own narrative with annoying commentary. Is it possible for an aristocrat to be a campaigning liberal? A “small d” democrat? The thought never occurs to Brown. Adams knew he was a stranger in a strange country. He manfully faced his age with unflinching courage, humor, scholarship and energy. He was even honored with the top non-fiction book of the century.

he was stuck in a cage at a gas station in Farmingville, until authorities rescued this magnificent Great Horned Owl and brought her to Volunteers for Wildlife’s Hospital in September of 1991. She was suffering from a poorly healed wing fracture and required a partial amputation. It was obvious to the rehabilitators at the Wildlife Hospital that this young owl deserved a second chance. She healed from surgery but would never fly again or survive in the wild. She became an Animal Ambassador for Volunteers for Wildlife’s Education Department, but her disability prevented her from balancing well on a handling glove. Still, the rehabilitators did not give up on her and thought she might serve as a foster parent. This is how she got her name: Mama. Injured Great Horned owlets were placed under her watchful eye as they grew stronger and prepared for release. Mama acted as an exceptional mentor owl to these youngsters, helping them to develop necessary social skills needed to thrive in the wild. Mama, now 31 years old, is retired from her parenting duties. She spends her days roosting in her aviary and peacefully napping. Once the sun sets, she uses a special owl ladder to climb down from her perch to eat a little something and take a bath. In the early mornings, as the hospital staff begins their day, Mama can be heard hooting to the wild owls that live in the nearby wooded areas. Don’t you wonder what

Ralph Raymond, North Massapequa Fire Commissioner and President of the Association of Fire Districts of Nassau County, said, “Every day we see the horrific situation in Ukraine getting worse and worse. But the outpouring of support and overwhelming generosity of our firefighters in Nassau County has only grown stronger. Thank you to the brave men and women of our fire service for making this incredible donation of vital, lifesaving
supplies to help the freedom fighters and refugees in Ukraine who desperately need them.” Residents interested in making a donation can do so online by visiting www. pomagam.pl/f7fpmf or www.support.crs. org/donate/donate-ukraine. These two resources are verified to be providing aide both to Ukrainian defenders on the frontlines and Ukrainian refugees in Poland. —Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay
NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino joined with Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato and members of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America Long Island Chapter to recognize the Association of Fire Districts of Nassau County as they prepared to ship 4,000 pounds of medical supplies to the frontlines in Ukraine. The 20-foot shipping container full of necessary supplies is being transported by the Terry Farrell Foundation to a local port, and will reach the people of Ukraine through the Association’s partnership with St. Vladimir’s Parish Center in Uniondale.
Saladino stated, “The volunteer fire service is dedicated to protecting people’s lives and property, and their sense of service is what made our volunteers step up to assist Ukrainians fighting to protect their homeland. I thank our firefighters and EMS workers for their service to our nation, and to the cause of freedom around the globe.” In mid-March, the town initiated its own collection drive which resulted in 7,000lbs—the largest collection on Long Island—of supplies being successfully collected and shipped to Ukraine to be distributed to those in need.
Town Supervisor Saladino, Councilman Steve Labriola and Councilwoman Laura Maier proudly partnered with Long Island Cares for their Annual Legislative Pet Food Drive, which took place over the last few weeks and ran through April 15. The drive focused on collecting food for our residents’ pets through Baxter’s Pet Pantry, which supplies free pet food and supplies to pet-owning families in need. Town officials recognized residents for their generosity in donating over 303 pounds of pet food and supplies, which will in turn keep pets at home with their loved ones, well-fed and out of shel-
