Cutter Mill Road Project

TOP STORY

Proposed improvements and upgrades for Cutter Mill Road JULIE PRISCO jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

he Village of Great Neck Plaza recently held a public information meeting to discuss the proposed Cutter Mill Road Renovation Project that the village and Nassau County Department of Public Works (DPW) is planning. The presentation detailed the traffic calming and safety improvements proposed by the village and county DPW. Mayor of the Village of Great Neck Plaza, Ted Rosen, feels these road improvements are necessary. “In my opinion, this has been an issue for many years. People have come to the village, myself and my predecessor Jean Celender with all sorts of complaints,” said Mayor Rosen. The first traffic study on Cutter Mill Road was completed in June 2013. Since then, the village and county have worked to assess the information, hold public meetings, and collect additional data to verify the study results and form a project plan. According to the presentation, existing conditions and issues with Cutter Mill Road include excessive vehicle speed, pedestrian safety and accommodations, vehicular accidents and road geometry. “We have gotten complaints over the years concerning conditions that could be improved,” said Mayor Rosen. “According to the Nassau County engineers, the accidents on [Cutter Mill Road] are higher than the average. Most of the accidents have been sideswiping accidents because of the narrow lanes. Another common accident [on Cutter Mill Road] is when drivers in the right-hand lane hit parked cars or open doors of parked cars.” To remedy these issues, the village and county have proposed multiple improvements to increase safety, reduce speeding and upgrade the overall aesthetic of the road. A lane diet is one of the most significant changes planned for the road. Currently, Cutter Mill Road has two lanes of traffic on either side, two on the westbound side and two on the eastbound side. The proposed lane diet suggests one lane of traffic on either side, a striped median, and a turning lane in the middle. The changes would reduce travel speed and accidents while enhancing the safety of all travelers on the road. The parking lane on either side of the road will remain, with the addition of a parking buffer, estimated to be about three

Cutter Mill Road and Town House Place intersection plans. feet wide to provide a wide enough area for travelers to enter and exit their cars safely on the busy road. “More than ten years ago, the village and my predecessor Celender led the renovation of Great Neck Road,” said Mayor Rosen. “The renovation included the lane diet which the downtown planners advocated for.” While Great Neck Road was a village project, the Cutter Mill Road renovation is a Nassau County project. According to Mayor Rosen, the Nassau County traffic engineers believe the lane diet will not cause delays or traffic tie-ups based on the various traffic counts, studies and federal guidelines for this project. Speed awareness devices are to be installed or upgraded on the road. The current device on Ispwich Avenue will be upgraded, and an additional speed awareness device will be installed near Pearce Place.

Sidewalk bulb-outs with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) are to be included on Chelsea Plac and Gussack Plaza to make crossing the road safer for pedestrians. Sidewalk bulb-outs, also known as curb extensions, extend the sidewalk into the parking lane to provide additional pedestrian safety. Adding bulb-outs will allow pedestrians waiting to cross the extra road space to wait for their turn to make the cross safely. Traffic signal improvements are planned for the existing intersections on Cutter Mill Road to keep pedestrians and drivers safe. Cutter Mill Road at Bayview Avenue is to be rebuilt completely. The new constriction of the intersection includes new pedestrian crossings along the south side and Audible Pedestrian Signals (APS). The intersection at Cutter Mill Road and Town House place will be upgraded to have sidewalk

bulb-outs at the crosswalk and APS devices installed. In addition to the many safety improvements planned, repairs will be made to sidewalks, curbs, curb ramps, driveway aprons and drainage structures along the road. The Cutter Mill Road surface will be repaved and repainted with the new roadway format. “This is a fluid process,” said Mayor Rosen. “The county engineers are still tweaking it, so there still could be changes to the design.” At the public meeting earlier this month, most of the residents in attendance supported the proposed renovation plans for the road. Mayor Rosen shared that some business owners on Cutter Mill Road cited concerns about possible traffic back-ups that will affect their business. “The same concerns were brought up for the Great Neck Road project,” said Mayor Rosen. “I’m not a traffic expert, but the Nassau County traffic engineers stood up and pointed out that the traffic back-ups did not cause a problem on Great Neck Road.” The engineers discussed their studies and guidelines proving the plans for a lane diet on Cutter Mill Road to be beneficial. Mayor Rosen attributed much credit to previous Nassau County Legislator Ellen Birnbaum and current Nassau County Legislator Mazi Pilip for their support and contributions to the Cutter Mill Road Project. The next public meeting to discuss the plans for the project is on Wednesday, June 29, at 8 p.m. in the Village Hall. Mayor Rosen and the village are currently with tech experts on providing a system that will allow in-person meetings to be broadcasted on Zoom for those who cannot physically attend the meeting or do not feel uncomfortable being in-person. Check greatneckplaza.com for updates on the meeting. The village and county hope to have the final design completed during September of this year, 2022. In March of 2023, the team expects to select a contractor and begin working with them. Based on the estimated schedule of the Cutter Mill Road Project, construction will start in September of 2023 and should be approximately three months of work. “It is not about residents versus business people,” said Mayor Rosen. “It is about making the road safer for everybody whether you’re a business person, resident, visitor, motorist or pedestrian. The county’s goal, the village’s goal, Legislator Pilip’s goal and my goal is to make the road safer for everybody.”

Senator Kaplan Recognizes Local Rising Star Sahar Juliet Tartak Of Great Neck

n the waning days of the 2022 Legislative Session, Senator Anna M. Kaplan invited local student rising star Sahar Juliet Tartak, a graduating senior at Great Neck North High School, to Albany to be recognized for her achievements by the New York State Senate. Sahar was joined by her parents as the Senate passed resolution J.2548, “Congratulating Sahar Juliet Tartak upon the occasion of capturing first place in the International DECA Competition,” which was authored and introduced by Senator Kaplan. Following remarks on the resolution by Senator Kaplan, Sahar was given a standing ovation by members of the Senate and extended all the privileges and courtesies of the Chamber by the Temporary President. Senator Kaplan said, “Sahar isn’t just a rockstar academic and her class Valedictorian; she’s also an internationally recognized emerging leader, having taken first place in an international competition that began with thousands of entrants who qualified from across the world. I couldn’t be more proud of Sahar, and that’s why I invited her and her family to Albany to be formally recognized by the Senate for her incredible achievements.” Each year, DECA, an international student leadership organization with 173,000

(Contributed photo) members across 3,200 schools, holds a series of competitions at the state, regional and international levels, with only about 200 qualifiers reaching the international level from a pool of thousands.

This year, Sahar participated in the “Human Resources Management” competition, where competitors are given a briefing on a difficult human resources situation and 10 minutes to prepare a solution, then present

it to a panel of judges. Out of the thousands who entered, she won at the state level, then the regional level, and ultimately took first place out of the 200 international competitors. “Being recognized by Senator Kaplan was such an honor, not to mention a really cool experience,” Sahar told the Great Neck Record. “As a student who’s interested in politics, watching a session live on the Senate floor was incredible. I remember my dad and I peeping down from the gallery to see some Senators huddled up, sharing a bag of M&M’s. I admittedly hope to be there myself one day. The Senator spoke so kindly of me, and her compliments were really touching. Kaplan herself is an inspiration to me. My family loved the experience.” Sahar shared with the Great Neck Record that she will be starting school at Yale University in the fall and hopes to study Ethics, Politics, Economics, and learn Farsi (Persian). The resolution honoring Sahar passed the Senate with unanimous support.

Faulkner: Enduring, Prevailing, Unvanquished tragedian. This comes hard for Americans, a people “unschooled in tragedy,” (Richard Weaver), a people where “a happy ending is our story” (Mary McCarthy). Faulkner had a sense of humor, breaking through in such stories as “Shingles For The Lord” or his final novel, The Reivers. There were his circumstances, also his thorough reading of the Old Testament and the works of William Shakespeare. Faulkner was drawn to the drama of life and with it, the drama of prose. From “Red Leaves:”

his year, the twos have it. 2022. 2012. 2002. 1992. 1982. 1972. 1962. Stop right there. 1962? The Cuban Missile Crisis was the story of the year. Americans went to sleep on the evening of October 22 wondering if they would see the morning. Two famous Americans didn’t see a new morning that year. A year earlier, in 1961, Ernest Hemingway died, victim of a self-inflicted gun shot wound. His great rival, William Faulkner, died on July 6, 1962, after suffering another drinking binge. Dies the literature, dies the nation? Few, if anyone, will notice that this is the 60th anniversary of Faulkner’s passing. However, there’s never a good time not to write about the man and his work. More has been published on Faulkner than any other writer in the English language, save another William, Shakespeare by name. William Faulkner did have a brief New York connection. In his youth, he worked at a bookstore in Greenwich Village. His publishers were in the city. Faulkner polished up the ending to his 1929 classic, The Sound And The Fury while sitting cross-legged on a bed at a downtown hotel. He handed over the manuscript to his editor, remarking, “Here, read this. It’s a real son of a ----.” That it was. With The Sound And The Fury, Faulkner began to hit his stride. His friendship with Sherwood Anderson proved decisive. Anderson, who put small-town Ohio life on the map in a string of novels and stories, urged the young Faulkner to give up on the literary scene in New Orleans and instead, go back to northern Mississippi and zero in

William Faulkner receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature from King Gustav of Sweden. (Photo courtesy of Internet archive) on his “postage stamp.” Anderson added, also decisively, that there’s two things a man can never be: Ashamed of himself and where he came from. For Faulkner, that was like falling off a log. He grew up in the “front porch republic” that existed before World War II. In Faulkner’s day, Americans sat on the front porch and talked all night. Tall tales inevitably made their way back to the Civil War. The young Faulkner was fascinated by both his paternal and maternal grandfathers. His father was a bureaucrat laid low by the Depression. The grandfathers, however, were both veterans. One of them even constructed a monument to himself, one that stands today in Ripley, Mississippi, north of Faulkner’s Lafayette County postage stamp. As with writers of his generation, William Faulkner took the burden of history and placed it right on his shoulders. His world was different than those of say, Andrew Lytle, Caroline Gordon or Donald Davidson. Mississippi still suffered from the war and reconstruction: Poverty, occupation, crippled veterans, widows clad in black, an intractable race situation. The man made the most of it. William Faulkner is America’s great

Don’t you see? This whole land, the whole south is cursed, and all of us who derive from it, whom it ever suckled, white and black both, lie under the curse? Or from “Delta Autumn:” ‘This Delta,’ he [Ike McCaslin] thought. ‘This Delta.’ This land, which man has deswamped and denuded and derivered in two generations so that white men can own plantations and commute every night to Memphis and black men can own plantations and even towns and keep their town houses in Chicago…where cotton is planted and grows man-tall in the very cracks in the sidewalks, where usury and mortgage and bankruptcy and measureless wealth, Chinese and African and Aryan and Jew, all breed and spawn together until no man has time to say which is which, or cares. In 1950, the weight of the world did fall on his shoulders. Winning the Nobel Prize for Literature that year was an event. For years, such future Nobelists as Jorge Luis Borges and Jean-Paul Sartre sang Faulkner’s praises. Malcolm Cowley’s 1946 collection, The Portable Faulkner, put him back in the good graces of the critics, paving the way for the Nobel. In Stockholm, Faulkner displayed a different side, stunning a global audience with a

message of hope. I decline to accept the end of man… I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an exhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet’s… duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet’s voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail. Novels, short stories, poetry, essays, reviews, speeches. Faulkner also spent much of the 1930s in Hollywood, writing film treatments for Warner Brothers. Jack Warner even boasted, “I have the best writer in the world working for me for peanuts!” (In time, Faulkner would tell Warner what he could do with his “peanuts.”) I’ll list two novels, Absalom, Absalom! (1936) and the before-mentioned The Sound And The Fury, as representative of the man’s corpus. That, reader, will have to wait until next week. In the meantime, keep in mind that Nassau County has the finest public library system in America. (Next week: Faulkner’s two great tragedies)

ven though saxophonist/producer Steve Berlin has been an official member of Los Lobos since 1984, he’s still the new guy in the band. That said, he’s been part of a wild ride that found the quintet without a label for the three-year stretch between 2016 and 2018 despite being a multi-platinum act with a deep canon and a 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination (we’re still waiting for induction). The California quintet achieved redemption after signing with roots music-leaning imprint New West Records, which released 2021’s Native Sons and paid off via a Grammy for Best Americana Album.

in November 2019, but between touring commitments and how the coronavirus slammed the brakes on the world in March 2020, actual recording didn’t begin until June. And that wound up being limited to recording one week a month out of an abundance of caution until vaccines became available. The result was an L.A.themed collection of covers (save for the title cut) that paid homage to the band’s myriad influences. Among the artists interpreted are Berlin’s old band The Blasters, War, Jackson Browne, Buffalo Springfield and more obscure artists including East L.A. garage band Thee Midniters and Chicano music icon Lalo Guerrero. But rather than the project being a hodgepodge of covers, Berlin pointed out how all the selections had meaning attached to them. “I know that I had compiled a list of maybe 60 songs as a starter,” Berlin said. “It wasn’t like a Chinese restaurant, where we would pick and choose

End The Stigma On Mental Health I grew up as a sensitive kid. So much so that when my elementary school gave out superlatives to graduating fifth-graders, the one I received was most self-aware. Growing up, I viewed my sensitivity as a weakness, a clear marker that separated me from my peers and gave high stakes to any social interaction I happened to find myself in. I didn’t really understand why I felt so different from other kids my age. Most seemed to wade through childhood keeping their head above water, impervious to insults and not getting bogged down in their own self-image. Middle school is when I had my first depressive episode. It was the summer going into eighth grade,and I got blindsided by a special brew of anxiety for the future and a persistent inner critic that wouldn’t give me any time to myself.

down any food I ate. This first dance in the waters of depression lasted about three weeks, which seems like the most minor of blips compared to the length of time I have been depressed since then. I have lost count of how many times depression has darkened my door. When my symptoms re-emerged, it was dispiriting because I convinced myself I was past it and would never

“regress” in that way. Yet, I don’t regret any of it. It has made me stronger, surer of myself, and—most importantly to me—compassionate about other’s hardships. Through the trial of adversity, I decided to choose growth. Not that this was easy. My biggest hurdle was bypassing my own stubbornness. I had to take my experiences and view them as a chance to better myself instead of beating myself up over my perceived “weakness.” Mental health awareness and ending stigma is very important to me. Not just because of my own exposure, but because of the many friends and family members I have seen affected by various mental health issues. I continue to meet so many amazing and brilliant people who suffer internally because of something out of their control. My experience and that of others made me curious about what mental health services were offered at my school, Farmingdale State College. I saw that there was

one-on-one counseling on campus, but there was a lack of specialized services or peer support groups. In spring of 2021, I was part of the Student Government Association (SGA) at Farmingdale, and each semester a Senator is required to present his/her own resolution with the goal of improving services for students on campus. I couldn’t think of a better idea than to center my resolution on expanding the mental health services on campus. There used to be more student resources for this, but the pandemic had limited those services and had yet to return in full force with options for the students. My resolution was aimed at addressing the addition of more support groups for students to discuss issues they were experiencing during the school year, and to cover a wider range of mental health concerns, such as social anxiety, depression, addiction and other mood disorders.

It got passed on the Senate floor, but it still took a while for the changes to be instituted. Luckily, a fellow Senator helped things progress further this past fall by adding his own resolution calling for more mental health services, which in effect expanded upon my resolution. This past spring, I saw fliers and even an electronic sign in front of campus advertising support groups for students, whether for anxiety, depression or other mental health issues. There is always more to be done, but it is important that we fight to give those suffering a place where they feel they can be heard and that they are not alone.

HOME & DESIGN Prepared For Summer

s the approaching 10th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy reminds us of the effects weather can have on the electric system, PSEG Long Island is announcing that it is prepared for hurricane season and to meet peak demand during extreme heat situations this summer. The company’s ongoing electric infrastructure and storm hardening improvements help provide electric reliability to Long Island throughout the year. PSEG Long Island has incorporated numerous enhancements and upgrades to the electric grid, its systems and its storm processes, including its contingency procedures.

Electric Infrastructure Improvements

Across Long Island and the Rockaways, PSEG Long Island has prepared the electric infrastructure by focusing on substation, and transmission and distribution improvements, as well as by performing circuit and equipment inspections using drones, helicopters and infrared technology.

Storm Hardening Programs Completed Do you have a love of history? This landmarked property at 63 Murray Ave. in Port Washington sold on June 15 for $1,400,000. Beautifully sited on a large 100’x120’ landscaped property with winter water views and lovingly maintained architectural details, this three bedroom and three bathroom home features a wrap-around porch, original wood floors, diamond sash windows and millwork. The charming entry foyer, inviting living room with gas fireplace and dramatic dining room are further enhanced by nine-foot ceilings and abundant natural light. Three spacious second floor bedrooms with eight-foot ceilings offer lovely views which share a full bathroom. An updated eat-in-kitchen was expanded to include a powder room and informal dining area. This property offers a lower level with outside entrance, utilities and laundry area. It is close proximity to the train station, waterfront, shops and restaurants. Beach and mooring rights are available with membership dues. This custom built Colonial at 11 Guilford Rd. in Port Washington sold on June 16 for $2,200,000. It has been newly redesigned and meticulously updated to integrate high-end finishings with perfect functionality. It is a turn-key with four bedrooms and three bathrooms and delivers an ideal New Salem location, pleasing curb appeal and an inviting front porch. The attention to detail is evident upon entry: custom millwork, hardwood oak flooring, built-in foyer console and a chic powder room. The dining room’s stunning custom bar with wine fridge is a showstopper. The open concept chef’s kitchen has every amenity, with a marble center island and quartz counters leading to the great room with shiplap walls, a new mantel and gas fireplace. Sliding doors overlook the backyard oasis with patios, gorgeous landscaping and salt water heated pool. On the second floor, the spacious primary suite boasts a large walk-in closet, tray ceiling and a luxurious spa bathroom with double vanities, freestanding tub and radiant heated floors. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath are also on the second floor. The two-car garage is attached. The home has a full basement and central air conditioning.

Since the implementation of the FEMA-funded storm-hardening program funded in 2014, PSEG Long Island has completed storm hardening and reliability work on more than 1,000 miles of distribution mainline circuits. The sections of circuits that are storm hardened saw a 44 percent reduction in damage leading to outages compared to the rest of the distribution system. PSEG continues its storm hardening work with Power On, an initiative started in the spring of 2020 that will continue to improve reliability by strengthening distribution lines, targeting the most vulnerable circuits across Long Island. More than 190 miles of distribution mainline circuits have been storm hardened with stronger poles, thicker wire and other modern equipment. Arborists work throughout the year to identify and trim tree limbs in rights of way and along easements that could potentially cause outages during or after a storm. PSEG has removed more than 88,500 hazardous trees and large limbs along the distribution and transmission system and trimmed more than 21,000 miles of distribution and transmission line clearance in accordance with the industry best practice clearance standard. This standard preserves the health of the tree and directs future growth away from power lines. A new vine mitigation program identified, cut and treated more than 14,000 vine locations across Long Island. PSEG also prepares its dedicated workforce for summer by conducting annual hurricane and tropical storm drills and employee training; by developing emergency summer operating plans; and by performing summer-peak reliability analyses to ensure there is sufficient capacity to meet electric demand on high-heat days. —PSEG Long Island

Living At Home With Dementia

he Alzheimer’s Association’s “2022 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures” report reveals that 6.5 million people in the U.S. are living with Alzheimer’s disease. More than 10% of people aged 65 and older have Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia, including frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, vascular dementia, and combinations of dementia types. “As their care needs increase, people with dementia may choose to live in a memory care facility,” Gregg Balbera, president of Right at Home Nassau Suffolk said. “Most prefer to remain in their own homes as long as possible, among familiar surroundings and their established support system.” But, said Balbera, this requires care support, which often is provided by spouses, adult children or other family and friends. Today, 11 million people are providing this care. They help loved ones with self-care, such as bathing, dressing and using the toilet. They pay bills and handle other paperwork. They coordinate their loved one’s medical care. They provide “emotional labor,” keeping their loved one’s spirits up and depression at bay while coping with personality and behavior changes caused by the disease. While many caregivers say caring for their loved one is rewarding, dementia caregiving is hard work, both physically and emotionally. “It often affects the caregiver’s career, other family relationships, and their physical and cognitive health,” said Balbera. “And many family caregivers are at an age when they need care themselves.”

Life Insurance Quotes For Seniors what affects the cost of premiums and compare different plans. Here’s how life insurance works and some types of policies that may be available to seniors.

How does life insurance for seniors work?

Life insurance for seniors provides loved ones with financial security when the policyholder passes away by paying out a sum of money called a

death benefit. Some policies also come with a cash value growth component that will accumulate over time. Once the policyholder has built up enough cash value, they can withdraw from it, borrow from it, or surrender the policy to receive the full amount minus surrender charges. With any life insurance plan, policyholders have to pay monthly premiums to maintain their coverage. Life insurance premiums for seniors can depend on many other factors, such as: • Insurer: Each insurer will offer different premiums. • Policy terms: A higher death benefit and adding riders can increase costs. • Gender: Men tend to pay slightly higher premiums than women, since women often live longer. • Age: Life insurance tends to get more expensive with age, since an older policyholder is more likely to pass away while the policy is active. • Family health history: Insurers consider the health history of both the policyholder and their family when calculating premiums. • Smoker vs. nonsmoker: Smokers pay

more for life insurance than nonsmokers, all else held equal. • Hobbies and lifestyle: Hobbies like skydiving, rock-climbing, and car racing may be considered risky, leading to higher premiums. Types of life insurance for seniors

Here are two main types of life insurance policies that are available to seniors:

Final expense insurance Final expense insurance is a small whole life insurance policy designed to help a senior’s loved ones cover end-oflife costs, such as outstanding medical bills and funeral expenses. This life insurance policy typically comes with a smaller death benefit and lower premiums than standard whole life insurance policies. Final expense insurance also provides a cash value growth component that builds with each payment and grows at a fixed rate. Final expense insurance policies generally don’t require a medical exam, making them an excellent option for seniors who might not qualify for other types of permanent life insurance policies.

Social Security Announces Benefit Increase For 2022 Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for approximately 70 million Americans have increased by 5.9 percent in 2022. The 5.9 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) began with benefits payable to more than 64 million Social Security beneficiaries in January 2022. Increased payments to approximately eight million SSI beneficiaries have been distributed since December 2021. Some people receive both Social Security and SSI benefits. The Social Security Act ties the annual COLA to the increase in the Consumer Price Index as determined by the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some other adjustments that take effect in January of each year are based on the increase in average wages. Based on that increase, the maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security tax (taxable maximum) will increase to $147,000 from $142,800. Social Security and SSI beneficiaries

Reasons People Life is a Journey Without Children Should Still Have Embrace An Estate Plan every day because every day P counts eople without children may think there’s no need to have an estate plan and/or will. This misconception can be especially true for married couples who believe the estate will easily transfer to a surviving spouse. However, the truth is an estate plan can make life a lot simpler in the time leading up to and after someone passes away. Whether someone is married or not, here are four reasons why people without children still need an estate plan.

An Estate Plan Can Designate Healthcare and Legal Authority

An estate plan assigns decision-making authority for healthcare and legal decisions through critical documents like an advanced healthcare directive and power of attorney. And those without children still need to define these decision-makers, whether it’s a spouse, friend, sibling, niece or nephew. If someone falls ill, gets into an accident, or is otherwise incapacitated, their spouse or designated decision-maker needs the authority to make decisions on their behalf. And failure to get the proper documents in place could mean receiving care that doesn’t align with someone’s wishes.

charities could benefit instead. That means assets like, taxable brokerage accounts, savings/checking accounts, CDs, etc. can directly benefit people or causes meaningful to the deceased. Other accounts, such as retirement accounts, annuities and term life insurance policy death benefits are directed by their beneficiary designation, not a will. However, they can also be a key part of an estate plan as they avoid probate and can also avoid attorney’s fees. Updating beneficiaries should be done at the same time as keeping a will up to date.

An Estate Plan Outlines Who Will Care for Pets

An important consideration after someone passes away is what will happen to their furry loved ones. And for those without someone else at home to take over the responsibility, an estate plan is a perfect place to outline where pets will go and what, if any, financial support they’ll receive. Failure to appoint where pets should go could mean they’ll be much worse off after their human is gone.

An Estate Plan Can Help Smooth Business Succession

Business owners have a unique obligation to their partners and employees to Many people work their whole lives to ensure the business can continue after accumulate assets and financial accounts. they’re gone.

bout 795,000 people have a stroke every year, including thousands of people in New York, according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). The good news is up to 80 percent of strokes are preventable and if one occurs, it is possible to treat and recover if caught early. Getting smarter about strokes is crucial as time is a major factor in preventing disability or death. Understanding the symptoms of stroke and risk factors can help you get help fast and reduce your risks. A stroke is a medical emergency caused by the interruption of the flow of blood to the brain as a result of a clot or internal bleeding. Our brains require a continuous supply of oxygen and nutrients. If blood flow stops, brain cells start to die in just a few minutes. Because of this, a stroke can have a serious impact on many functions of your body, including speech, respiration, movement, cognition, and bladder control. Strokes reduce mobility in more than half of stroke survivors 65 and over. In fact, stroke causes more serious long-term disabilities than any other disease, according to the National Institute on Aging. Individuals who survive strokes often need physical, speech, occupational therapy and other medical care. Older adults are at an increased risk of having a stroke. However, there are several ways you can help reduce those risks, including: • Make exercise part of your daily routine. Many people don’t know that many Medicare Advantage health plans include fitness benefits. For example, UnitedHealthcare’s Renew Active program

Report Finds Challenges Understanding Alzheimer’s Development

he Alzheimer’s Association 2022 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report found challenges faced by both doctors and the American public in understanding and diagnosing mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It is estimated that 10 to 15 percent of people with MCI—an early stage of memory or other cognitive loss—go on to develop dementia each year. The 2022 Facts and Figures report provides an in-depth look at the latest national statistics on Alzheimer’s disease prevalence, incidence, mortality, costs of care and impact on caregivers along with a new section on the dementia care workforce. An accompanying special report, “More than Normal Aging: Understanding Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI),” for the first time examined both public and primary care physicians’ understanding of real-world awareness, diagnosis and treatment of MCI and MCI due to Alzheimer’s disease in the United States. “Mild cognitive impairment is often confused with ‘normal aging,’ but is not part of the typical aging process,” said Maria Carrillo, Ph.D., chief science officer, Alzheimer’s Association. “Distinguishing between cognitive issues resulting from normal aging, those associated with MCI and those related to MCI due to Alzheimer’s disease is critical in helping individuals, their families and physicians prepare for future treatment and care.” New disease-related statistics for New York revealed the following: • Number of New York residents aged 65 and older living with Alzheimer’s: 410,000 • Estimated number of New York residents living with Alzheimer’s in 2025: 460,000 • Percentage change: 12.2 percent • Number of New York residents serving as unpaid family caregivers: 563,000 • Total hours of unpaid care provided: 835,000,000 “The new Facts and Figures report shows the impact of Alzheimer’s on families here in Long Island and across the entire nation,” Douglas E. Davidson, executive director of the Alzheimer’s Association, Long Island Chapter, said. “In Nassau and Suffolk counties, the Alzheimer’s Association is supporting the community with education to help people understand and recognize early signs and symptoms and with programs to help caregivers and people living with the disease.”

MCI common but still unknown

It is estimated 12-to18 percent of people age 60 or older have MCI. While some with MCI will remain stable or revert to normal, up to 15 percent go on to develop dementia each year. Identifying which people with MCI are more likely to develop dementia is a major goal of current research, potentially enabling earlier disease intervention and treatment. Despite the prevalence among aging Americans, the new report found more than four out of five Americans (82 percent) know very little or are not familiar with MCI. When prompted with a description of MCI, more than half (55 percent) say MCI sounds like “normal aging.”

Importance of early intervention

Of survey respondents who wanted to learn about Alzheimer’s disease during the MCI phase, more than half (70 percent) noted the need for planning and opportunities for treatment. Early diagnosis gives families time to make legal, financial and care decisions for the future, based on a patient’s concerns and priorities, and is associated with lower overall health care costs. The vast majority of primary care physicians (86 percent) said early intervention can slow progression of cognitive decline. Only one out of five physicians report being familiar with clinical trials available to their

patients with MCI, and only one out of four say they are familiar with new therapies in the pipeline to address MCI due to Alzheimer’s disease. When MCI is detected, primary care physicians most often recommend lifestyle changes.

Future outlook and opportunities

The last two decades have marked an increase in the development of a new class of medicines that target the underlying biology and aim to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. As of February 2022, there are 104 disease-modifying treatments being evaluated in clinical trials or at various stages of regulatory approval. These potential therapies are aimed at slowing the progression of MCI due to Alzheimer’s disease and mild Alzheimer’s dementia, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Workplace shortages

This year’s report also includes a new section on dementia care workforce. Most states will have to nearly triple the number of geriatricians who were practicing in 2021 to effectively care for the number people projected to have Alzheimer’s dementia in 2050. Most states will need to double the number of home health and personal care aides. • In New York, there are approximately 568 geriatricians. By 2050, 44 percent more are needed to meet the needs of people projected to have Alzheimer’s. • New York had 437,300 home health and personal care aides in 2018. That number will need to increase by 60.6 percent to meet demand by 2028. —Alzheimer’s Association

LOS LOBOS from page 4A from that list. The list was an inspiration. As we went along, one song would remind us of another song. The songs had to mean something to somebody in the band and especially if it was something someone in the band felt passionate about.” With such a long and storied canon, Berlin shared what Los Lobos projects resonated most with him. ...And a Time to Dance (1983) “The first one [was pretty seminal] because it was the first one. And I wasn’t even part of that. I wasn’t even in the band. I was in The Blasters. I was producing it. That record was made while I was transitioning into being a full-time member.” How Will the Wolf Survive? (1984) “Making How Will the Wolf Survive?

FULL RUN

was profound because it was our first real record. We’d won a Grammy for that EP [... And a Time to Dance], so we were on the radar. We had risen up the food chain, if you will. We were not brand-new anymore, were doing well on the road and making a little bit of money. Things were certainly looking up. We were on Warner Brothers, so we knew we had to step up a little bit. We had a ball doing it. We didn’t feel much pressure, but we knew we had to do a great job. That was a big one.” Kiko (1992) “We were concerned that we were going to be dropped by our label because the [prior] record [The Neighborhood] didn’t do well. Long story short, we had to make a new record and we were pissed off at ourselves, the world and the music business. We did what we wanted to do and the way we wanted

to do it. We were all in a very experimental mood and [engineer Tchad Blake] was the main mad scientist. We would do something and he would do his thing and it would sound awesome. Any dumb idea sounded so great with whatever he was doing to it. He made everything work. A lot of times in the studio you’ll go down a road and then decide to rethink something. I don’t remember that ever happening because we never took a step back. We always just kept going forward. It was always cool and we just decided to keep going. It was really just joyous and fun. Making Kiko was tons of fun. If we’re enjoying ourselves, more often than not, it’s going to translate to the music. That was really fun.” The Ride (2004) “We did The Ride, which we produced ourselves and that was amazing. The Ride and the Super Seven records were similar

because we were making records with people that we respected and people that had powerfully influenced us, like Tom Waits, Richard Thompson, Mavis Staples and Bobby Womack. It was just sort of taking what we had learned on the way to making records and bringing people into our world or going into their world. The Ride and Super Seven records were fun because we got to see how our culture interacted with other people’s cultures. We certainly liked the culture that we had cultivated and it was pretty wacky and daring.” Los Lobos will be appearing with the Tedeschi Trucks Band on July 10 at the Great South Bay Music Festival, Shorefront Park, Patchogue.

WE LOVE OUR PETS

ong Island Orchestrating for Nature (LION), the leading animal advocacy organization on Long Island, has named Animal General of East Norwich its “2021 Veterinarian of the Year” for the animal hospital’s tremendous efforts and dedication to providing free and low-cost veterinary care to wildlife and domestic fowl rescued from cruelty, complete with a plaque featuring a chicken and a plant-based care package from Cindysnacks Vegan Market. “Whether we are asking them to carefully remove duct-tape from a goose who was strapped with fireworks, amputate the wing of a chicken maimed by animal sacrifice, bring back to life ailing birds saved from live slaughter markets, or treat animals suffering from years of neglect at Long Island petting zoos, we know that our rescues are in good hands when we bring them to Animal General for an appointment” John Di Leonardo, an anthrozoologist and president of LION said. VCA Animal General of East Norwich serves as the primary veterinarian for LION’s domestic fowl rescues, and Dr. Ellen Leonhardt, the practice’s medical director, as well as staff veterinarian Dr. Danielle Perrone, serve on the advisory board of Volunteers for Wildlife, a local wildlife rehabilitation organization. “VCA Animal General of East Norwich is proud of our on-going collaborative efforts, working alongside John Di Leonardo, Long Island Orchestrating for Nature (LION) and numerous other wildlife rescue groups within our community,” Dr. Leonhardt said. “We pride ourselves in helping the

Vet Of The Year underserved, moving towards a healthier and safer environment for these delicate creatures, each deserving individualized care, attention and veterinary medical expertise.” Among its notable victories, LION successfully opposed the expansion of SeaQuest Aquariums’ sordid mall aquarium chain into Oyster Bay in 2019, recently saved the lives of tens of thousands of animals over the course of just one week in Huntington, and has rescued hundreds of ducks, chickens and peafowl abandoned in Oyster Bay since 2016. LION previously recognized another Oyster Bay veterinary practice—Massapequa Pet Vet— with its Veterinarian of the Year award in 2018. —Long Island Orchestrating for Nature (LION) LION President John Di Leonardo (left) and Dr. Ellen Leonhardt

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Those on a fault-finding mission will have no problem finding it. You may want to avoid these types because their mission will only make yours more difficult. You’re on the hunt for fun, which will involve joining with agreeable people who keep it light and bring a spark of playful curiosity to the picture.

Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 18 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

Everybody has one

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The secret to your charisma may be known to others but not to you because the very nature of your charm is unselfconsciousness. Having fame and power isn’t your goal, though it may come as a byproduct of your passion and dedication to the goal. Part of your appeal is that you don’t care to whom you appeal.

Solution: 18 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is a wealth of knowledge that happens at a deeper level than the one where words and explanations exist. You may feel more confident and articulate when you can explain what you know, and this is worth working on, but in the meantime your intuitive leanings shouldn’t be discounted. Act on instinct.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Pride goeth before the fall, but your definition of pride will matter here. Letting people know what you do isn’t about pride but usefulness. The process goes better when they trust you, so your credentials matter. Explaining your expertise isn’t bragging; it’s making the process easier for all. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Even favorable circumstances, fortuitous opportunities and wonderful events can come with their own kind of stress. Fun requires you to be in top condition! As you rest and take excellent care of yourself this week, you’ll also be helping yourself enjoy what’s coming. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t need everything to go according to plan to feel good about it. Long ago, you acknowledged that you aren’t in charge of it all, and now you get to adopt the laid-back attitude to go with that realization -far more comfortable and charismatic than trying to control the uncontrollable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To connect in perfectly mannerly ways, which fall neatly within the acceptable boundaries of mutually understood roles, were it even possible, would be pointless. The ensuing boredom would only ruin the social arena for all. So go on, make an honest mess and enjoy the unfolding excitement in relationships this week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Perhaps the world “flirt” is too reductive to describe your interaction style, which has more to do with stirring up good vibes than it does with any social agenda. Nonetheless, someone thinks you’re flirting with them and loves it. Business will be friendly, and a friendship will lend itself to doing business, too. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Even if you do what everyone else is doing, your expression, experience and thoughts about it will be unique, as your mind is a filter unlike any other. Your creative stamp will be on all you do without any conscious effort on your part. Originality pours from your unselfconscious commitment to the moment you’re in. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The list of things you’re looking out for today includes: the best in people, the sunny side, ways to help and means to uplift. The quest causes you to automatically fall into the flow of fortuitous words and actions. You don’t even have to think about the next correct move; it all flows naturally.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

It’s a better world because you’re here. This will be evident in the lives and smiles of those you help. Your own well-being is also proof. The responsibility to take magnificent care of yourself is the one from which all else happens. The single lifestyle choice that has the biggest impact will be the company you keep. A truly unusual meeting will take your professional life for an exciting ride. There’s also a daring element to your social life, and you’ll put a certain thrilling activity or game on repeat.

Declarer frequently has a choice of whether to win a trick in his own hand or in dummy. Obviously, no uniform rule can be applied to these situations — the right play depends strictly on the circumstances. Consider the present case, where West led a spade that South could win in either hand. His potential losers were a spade, a club and either one or two hearts. It was clear that he could hold himself to one trump loser by leading a trump from dummy toward his K-Q-10,

since the bidding had marked East with the ace. So declarer took the opening spade lead with dummy’s king in order to lead a trump. But when East won with the ace and returned the queen of spades, South was in trouble. He played the ace, trumped by West, and declarer later lost a club and a spade and went down one. South was certainly right in thinking that the first trump lead should come from dummy. But since it was almost certain from the bidding that East had six spades and West only one, declarer should have chosen his entries more carefully. To protect against a 6-1 spade division, South should have won the spade lead in his hand, led a diamond to dummy’s king and then led a trump. East would win and return a spade, but this would no longer pose a threat. West could ruff, but in that case dummy would play low, and South would lose only the ace of hearts, a club and a spade ruff. And if West did not ruff the spade return, dummy’s king would win, and South’s only losers would be a spade, a heart and a club. Declarer’s choice of where to take the first trick made all the difference between winning and losing the contract.

SCHOOL NEWS GIRLS GOLF TEAM WINS COUNTY, LONG ISLAND CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES; COMPETES AT STATES The Great Neck District Girls Golf Team completed another championship season, winning both the Nassau County and Long Island championship titles followed by a strong fourth-place finish at the New York State championship tournament. The team captured their third-consecutive Nassau County championship title at the tournament at Bethpage State Park on May 23–24. The team shot a two-day total of 836, with a 125-stroke lead over the second-place team from Garden City. In addition to the team’s overall performance, eighth-grader Lia Huang from North Middle placed first among individual golfers and earned Great Neck’s first-ever individual golf championship title. Eighth-grader Caylin Wong from South Middle also reached the podium with a third-place finish. The team was excited for the opportunity to compete in regional and state tournaments, which had been canceled in recent

years due to the pandemic. The team advanced to the Long Island tournament on May 31, which took place at Smithtown Landing Country Club. Great Neck took a commanding lead over the Suffolk County champions from Smithtown West High School and won the Long Island championship with a combined score of 445-513. Top scorers were Lia Huang (76), Caylin Wong (84), and South High senior Andrea Zhou (87). This is the program’s second Long Island Championship title. The team wrapped up the season at the New York State championship tournament at McGregor Links in Saratoga on June 4-6. Great Neck golfers had a strong showing at the two-day event, which was the first State tournament since 2019 due to COVID. The Great Neck team finished in fourth place overall, missing out on the podium by only one stroke. Lia Huang led Nassau County participants and finished in a tie for fifth place among individual golfers in the State.

The Great Neck Public Schools is pleased to announce that three secondary schools have been recognized by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) as Gold Star No Place for Hate schools. North Middle School, South Middle School, and South

High School are recipients of this national designation for the 2021–22 school year. The No Place for Hate program provides a model for combating bullying, racism, and prejudice in schools. To become a No Place for Hate school, schools

SCHOOL NEWS GREAT NECK PUBLIC SCHOOL STAFF GRANTED TENURE The Board of Education, upon the recommendation of the Superintendent, recently granted tenure to 34 teachers and six administrators in the Great Neck Public Schools. Board President Rebecca Sassouni called the granting of tenure a “very big deal here in Great Neck” and acknowledged the rigorous process of review, oversight, and professional cultivation required to achieve this career milestone. President Sassouni also expressed the Board’s commitment to the continued professional growth and ongoing development of tenure candidates and all educators across the District. Over the course of two public meetings in June, Board trustees joined with the candidates’ gathered families and friends to acknowledge, celebrate, and applaud their accomplishments. Administrators spoke on behalf of the candidates they were recommending for tenure, expressing common themes: candidates are passionate about their work, they bring out the best in their students, they engage their students and help them to love to learn. “Our goal is to cultivate and nurture an environment of learning in which high-quality teaching is expected and recognized as the highest standard of excellence,” explained Superintendent Dr. Teresa Prendergast, who strongly recommended each candidate having first met individually with each of them. “The hard work and dedication of these individuals to the children of

this District is more than commendable.” At the Board meeting on June 1, tenure was granted to 14 teachers at the elementary level: Sara Renee Covino, Julie Goldin and Cindy Lipper at Baker School; Patrick Kennedy, Lindsay Koonin, Alexandria Lambraia, Rachel Sudran and Nicole Zupa at Kennedy School; Meagan Baker and Danielle Cangialosi at Lakeville School; Maureen Miller at Parkville School; and Gabriella Duke, Christina Morisco and Bryan Patterson at Saddle Rock School. Additionally, E.M. Baker principal Dr. Michael Grimaldi, Saddle Rock principal Luci Bradley, and Saddle Rock assistant principal Sara Goldberg were awarded tenure as administrators. At the Board meeting on June 15, tenure was granted to 20 educators at the secondary level: Kimberley Bliss, Lauren Frenz, Jeanne Kuhner, Arielle Panzarino, Katherine Russo and Sanaz Yadegar at North Middle; Kelly Backus, Mariuca Ganz, Jennifer Hill, Catherine Sagevick, Jecelyn Scauzillo and Angela Valli at South Middle; John Reynolds, Jennifer Sixsmith, Marlese Swarsen and Denis Villacorta at North High; Jacob Friedman, Lynn Harkins, Francis Miata and Gina Russo at South High. Additionally, South Middle principal Dr. Gina Cartolano and assistant principals Leonard DiBiase and Ryan Nadherny were awarded tenure as administrators. —Submitted by the Great Neck Public School District

Where Is North Hempstead’s Cat Shelter? JULIE PRISCO jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

or years now, North Hempstead resident Stuart Kroll has been speaking up at town meetings and advocating for the town to build a cat shelter. North Hempstead doesn’t have a town cat shelter for stray cats to be cared for and placed with a family. While the town does have an animal shelter located at 75 Marino Ave. in Port Washington, the shelter only houses dogs. Many people assume that since the town has a shelter, the shelter must take cats. But, unfortunately, that is not the case at the North Hempstead Animal Shelter. “People don’t even realize this problem exists,” Kroll told The Port Washington News. Kroll explained that one of the reasons cats aren’t incorporated into the North Hempstead Animal Shelter is the lack of space. “This issue goes back to Jon Kaiman,” Kroll said. Kaiman was the town Supervisor from 2003 to 2013. “The idea was that 80 to 90 percent of cats would be euthanized because of space issues so, understandably, he didn’t want to place cats there. But no respectable shelter puts any cats down unless they’re terminally ill. No private shelter and no decent municipal shelter will do that either.” Under Supervisor Judy Bosworth, the town did a feasibility study to determine

how many cats the town shelter could hold. According to the survey, Kroll explained that the shelter could hold an estimated 33 cats. At the time, the town felt that that number wasn’t sufficient, and while Kroll agreed, he realized it was naive to think the town would continue searching for a solution to the issue. “I would say you need to have something that can hold 60 to 80 cats at a time,” Kroll determined. When Jen DeSena was running for Supervisor, Kroll met with her to chat about the lack of a cat shelter. She was sympathetic to the issue and signed the petition from Voters 4 Voiceless. Kroll is the co-founder and active member of the Voters 4 Voiceless animal advocacy group. Over 2,000 people signed the petition for a town cat shelter. The Voters 4 Voiceless group recently worked on getting the Puppy Mill Bill passed. “That was a huge victory, and it shows that these victories can happen when dedicated people get involved,” said Kroll. “We gave the town the [cat shelter] petition a while back,” said Kroll. “Since more

than 2,000 people want the shelter, you would think something would get done. So many people have spent a lot of money and experienced a lot of heartaches trying to place cats themselves.” Kroll is one of many people in the town of North Hempstead that work to capture stray cats and find them a home or shelter. Though the town doesn’t shelter stray cats, they have a TNR program (trap, neuter, release) that is held at the town shelter to help keep the stray cat population down. Residents can bring stray cats to the shelter on specific days when the program is running to have cats neutered or spayed. After the procedure, the cats are released back to where they came from, usually the streets. “The people that bring in the cats to the TNR program will come to get them after the procedure,” said Kroll. “And if they’re friendly cats, they’ll try to get them adopted, and if they’re not friendly, unfortunately, they just have to release them back the streets.” “When female cats are spayed, it’s a much more complicated surgery than male cats being neutered,” said Kroll. “Male cats can

safely be released, but the female cats that are spayed should be able to stay a minimum of one or two nights, so the stitches don’t break open. It’s not safe to release them, and they are releasing them.” While the program is meant to keep the cat population down, Kroll feels it is not working. “It’s just getting more and more out of control because the TNR program is really pathetic,” said Kroll. “The North Hempstead shelter does approximately 1,000 cats a year, about 80 cats a month that they will fix. But when you go to the Town of Hempstead shelter, they have an excellent TNR program.” “[The Hempstead shelter] could fix 80 cats a month there with one individual and they have multiple people working on the TNR program,” Kroll said. “One individual at the Hempstead shelter can do as much as the whole TNR program at the North Hempstead shelter.” Kroll attends the monthly Town of North Hempstead Board Meetings to speak on the issue of stray cats having no shelter in the town. He hopes that consistently bringing attention to the problem will encourage the board to help and make the residents aware of the situation. “I would tell [people concerned with the cat shelter problem] to go to the board meetings,” said Kroll. “If you want change, you have got to make yourself aware and available. I encourage people to come to board meetings and speak up about the fact that there is no cat shelter and that these animals are suffering and starving in the streets.”

Taking North Hempstead’s Temperature On Climate Change North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena and the Town Board, along with the Town’s Climate Smart Communities Task Force, encourage the community to participate in a survey to assess issues, perceptions and beliefs about climate change. Findings will help the town determine what community members believe are the most important actions to tackle when creating its Climate Action Plan. “The Town of North Hempstead recognizes the detrimental impact of climate change on our community, and the Town Board and I are committed to developing and implementing policies that will reduce the Town’s carbon footprint,” Supervisor DeSena said. “This survey will provide

invaluable data and assist the town in our sustainability efforts.” The town collaborated with faculty at New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) to help develop the survey and has compiled a list more than one hundred stakeholders and community groups that will help spread the word to all communities throughout North Hempstead. The survey is live on the Town’s Climate Action website and is accessible in multiple languages. All results will be made public and included in the Town of North Hempstead Climate Action Plan. To take the survey visit NorthHempsteadNY.gov/ClimateAction. —Submitted by the Town of North Hempstead
