Jericho Board Of Education Discusses Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Policy JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

t the Jericho Union Free School District Board of Education meeting in May, there was much discussion around a policy called Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). The DEI policy was launched by The board of regents to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in schools across the New York State. The board of regents stated on its website that it expects all school districts to develop policies that advance diversity, equity and inclusion–and that they implement such policies with fidelity and urgency. The Board of Regents DEI framework and policy statement is as follows: “At the board of regents meeting in April 2021, the board discussed a framework on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for New York State Schools which served as the basis for adopting a policy statement. At the May 2021 meeting of the board, they will discuss and act on the proposed policy statement. The policy of the New York State Board of Regents is to encourage and support efforts at the state and local level to create within every school an ecosystem of success that is built upon a foundation of diversity, equity, inclusion, access, opportunity, innovation, confidence, trust, respect, caring, and relationship-building. All students must feel that they are welcome, they belong, and they are supported in every school. The board of regents recognizes that much of this work is already happening in districts all across the state. School and district leaders, teachers, staff, students, and parents are working to create school communities that are more diverse, more equitable, and more inclusive than ever before. Many of New York’s education stakeholders and their organizations have prioritized this issue, and their efforts must be recognized and applauded. But more work remains, and the board of regents and the State Education Department are committed to supporting schools and districts in their efforts to lift up all students.” During the public comment portion of the May 19 meeting, a pair of parents and a student stepped up to the podium to express their thoughts about the policy. A parent, who did not state her name before speaking during public comment, said “I couldn’t agree more [with The Board of Regents policy] and support having a DEI policy in Jericho.

parts that do not apply to the Jericho School District. We already eliminated two [policy items]. Why is it we are eliminating them here while we are sitting in this meeting. Why wasn’t this done by our administration? Our council? Our DEI Committee?” Grishman reminded Perlman that it wasn’t the first time the board of education made revisions to a policy during the first reading. “...This is a very new concept in the world today,” trustee Jennifer Vartanov said. “It did not exist a few years back, it’s something that came about due to the political climate. But if we are going to work towards a successful DEI policy, I think that we need to have a conversation as a board, but also I believe that the DEI committee would be necessary to talk about the ideas and put something on paper and not take something that’s boiler plate and start chopping it up. Obviously this is a five-page policy. We can sit here all night chopping it up, but I don’t think that’s fair to the board or fair to the community.” If the board of education is going to be using tax-payer dollars to implement the policies, Vartanov added, then the policy needs to be more specific. “I would like to understand what lacks in the Jericho School District, because from what I know and what I hear, we are the best,” Vartanov said. “I didn’t know we lacked in some shape or form or that we were not inclusive. But if we feel it’s important, lets talk about the specifics of what should be included. I don’t think we should be doing the first reading tonight.” Perlman echoed Vartanov’s point, saying that Jericho provides everything needed for students from pencils to laptops, and that there isn’t an equity issue in Jericho. Dr. Wasserman-Heath said she does not feel the policy is “boiler plate,” but rather a solid policy filled with good ideas. Grishman added that 90 percent of the policies the district has adopted throughout the years has been developed by a policy service from BOCES. Citron said the board of education is not responsible for writing the specifics of the policy, rather the administration is. It is the board’s job to set forth aspirations, she said. “We’re clearly not accepting the first reading tonight, but this is the opportunity to make more changes,” Citron said. Through the meeting, Perlman went through the policy, asking questions about the various portions within it, arguing that the DEI policy should be broken up into two facets: employment and curriculum. Citron asked Perlam to send all his comments to the board of education, stating that the policy will be discussed at the next meeting.

Syosset Memorial Day Parade Returned This Year JULIA PENCHUK editors@antonmediagroup.com

he Syosset Memorial Day parade returned Monday, May 30, after being put off for years. Residents came out and supported the parade, along with local veterans’ groups, marching bands, Boys and Girls Scouts, the fire department and more. A ceremony was held in remembrance of all those who lost their lives including local veteran Gus Scutari. The parade began on Dawes Avenue and Jackson Avenue. Marchers headed north on Jackson Avenue to the north side of the LIRR tracks and continued Cold Spring Harbor Road. The parade turned west on Whitney Avenue and headed to Queens Street, then south to Underhill Boulevard. The parade ended at Memorial Park at the corner of Underhill Avenue and Jackson Avenue. Amanda Johnson has been coming to this parade for 30 years because of how important she feels like day is to be celebrated. Starting two years prior to COVID-19, Johnson’s decoration company, Balloons by Amanda, walked in the parade with huge balloon decorations. This year was special for Johnson because she was able to have her grand-

Throughout the ceremony many children were able to take part. The Adeliettes, an acapella group from Syosset, did a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem. Additionally, the Boys and Girls Scouts held flags throughout the ceremony. The ceremony took place at Memorial

Park, which was recently renamed the Gus Scutari Memorial Park for a local veteran. In the past years, Scutari was the parade grand marshal. Sadly, he died in April at age 99. This year’s parade did not have a grand marshal in honor of him. To many, Scutari was known as “Mr. Memorial Day” and was loved by many in the county. “To so many in this community he was

a larger-than-life figure,” Nassau County Legislator Josh Lafazan said. “He embodied the patriotism of a proud veteran, always preaching the importance of the American flag and what it stood for.” He added, “From 1947, veterans have been interwoven into the fabric of our Long Island communities.

JOSEPH SCOTCHIE

Maggie is bitterly upset. The reader knows Duluoz has just given up the best thing he will ever find. Kerouac had range: Novels, poetry, journals, letters, even a Book of Dreams. He had influence. Did The Beatles come from The Beats? Bob Dylan and other rock stars sang his praises, giving the man exposure to younger generations. Kerouac left behind a lifetime of great reading. It could have been more. Why couldn’t he follow Ginsberg and John Clellon Holmes into the university profession? Kerouac would have made a fine writer-in-residence. For years, the man had wanted to write a history of the Civil War. His wasteful ways prevented that. Shelby Foote was also a novelist. Consider his three-volume classic. Kerouac could have lent his prodigious talents to the American Iliad. One final influence was John Updike. When On The Road came out, the young Updike penned a satire of the novel in The New Yorker. His second novel, Rabbit Run, was a rebuttal to On The Road. Updike’s protagonist, Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom, runs, Dean Moriarty-like, from a wife and young child. While Rabbit is an absent father, his young daughter dies in a bathtub accident. See where an irresponsible lifestyle gets you?

In fairness, On The Road ends with resolutions. Dean finds happiness with his new bride and heads back to the West Coast. Sal Paradise, the Kerouac-stand in, is set to live the life of a Manhattan literati. For both men, the middle-class beckons. In his novels, Updike fed off Kerouac’s energetic prose. With Rabbit, he created the quintessential postwar American hero. He might have done so without On The Road, but the influence sure didn’t hurt.

The $50 from each doubles team and $100 from each quads team’s registration fees will be donated to PFY (formerly Pride For Youth), a division of the Long Island Crisis Center whose mission is to enhance the health and wellness of the LGBTQ community through education, supportive services and personal development in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens counties. “PrideFest has been a long-time coming and reflects the volleyball community’s

altruism and diversity, especially in regards to sexuality and gender,” VBLI’s Founder and Managing Director Glenn Yankow said. “Collaborating with PFY has been a pleasure and we’re as inspired as ever to create a fun, memorable tournament, one to keep improving upon for years to come.” On-site vendors will be announced at a later date, will enhance the patron experience and donate additional proceeds. The goal is to host more than 200 volleyball players from Long Island and the surrounding areas, raising more than $5,000 for PFY. “We’re deeply grateful to VBLI for including us in this unique event held during Pride Month,” PFY Director Devon Zappasodi said. “There is a lot of work to be done in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and equality in the area of athletics, but PrideFest is a nice indication of the progress that has been made.” Registration for PrideFest is open now; go to www.vbli.com for more information. –Submitted by VBLI

As we emerge from COVID-19 stronger and ready to respond to the evolving needs and priorities of our communities, we are grateful to have John help us share

the compelling stories of our service and impact.” Durso welcomes the challenge and said, “I am drawn to EAC Network because of

the challenging but important work it does to better the lives of struggling individuals, which mimics my experience in the union to empower our members. After recognizing this parallel, I knew that it was an agency that I wanted to be a part of and I aim to help in any way I can.” Lockel added, “The EAC Network is in a pro-growth mode and John will work with our board, our elected officials, community and private partners to help EAC grow. We begin John’s tenure as chair with a renewed sense of purpose, a strong sense of confidence in the value and impact of our service and a commitment to forging ahead to continue to serve with ‘Excellence in Action’ for all of our communities. “ “For the EAC Network, growth means seeing and helping more people,” Durso added. Lockel concluded, “I thank Richie Kessel for his years of leadership as our board chair. EAC is blessed to pass the baton from one great New York advocate to another.” –Submitted by the EAC

Throughout her career, Levy has completed a number of prestigious committee assignments and she currently serves on the board of trustees for the Children’s Hospital Association. Cohen Children’s Medical Center is also pleased to announce that Nancy Palumbo, MD—who served as the hospital’s interim medical director since January 2022 while continuing her role as chief of hospital medicine—has been promoted to associate medical director for Cohen Children’s.

EDITORIAL: OUR OPINION

Why We Need Gun Responsibility whatever sick reason decide to take their anger out on their peers, or even little children, have grown up with these lock-down drills. They know what lock-down looks like, jcorr@antonmediagroup.com meaning its effectiveness is now Just days after the tragic shooting compromised. in Uvalde, TX, that left 19 children Some recommend securing and two teachers no longer alive the schools. Well, schools across to enjoy their families, summer the country have implemented break and their bright futures, many security policies, such as the New of our representatives, including York State Safe Schools Against Senator Ted Cruz, say we shouldn’t Violence in Education. Then they politicize the situation. talk about mental health. Well, the But I don’t see this situation idea of universal access to health as political. It’s tragic, gruesome, care is still considered taboo. They upsetting and preventable. talk about metal detectors. Well, Since the Columbine High School teachers have to consistently go out shooting in 1999, school districts and buy their own school supplies around the country have impleand schools actually make families mented lock-down procedures pay off “lunch debt” despite the fact and safety protocols to keep their that any reasonable adult would students safe. These might have take responsibility for feeding a helped to prevent more deaths in child under their care. Where is the the hundreds of school shootings, money to afford metal detectors and threats of violence, since and bulletproof doors? Columbine. But we have sadly seen And then, they’ll say we need that kids who should have been armed guards at the schools. Well, focused on their school work and just take a look at the latest shooting friends still became the victims tragedies. Armed guards (police of gun violence in the classroom or security guards) were not able despite these procedures. to stop the gunman on time to I graduated from high school prevent deaths because of fear of in 2015.

Those who often resist gun understand that we grew up with control are often the same people lock-down drills. Those who, for who do not trust the teachers with

curriculum in regards to U.S. history, gender and sexual orientation. But now those same people are going to trust those teachers with a gun around their children? Scanning gun enthusiast websites, like the Firearm Industry Trade Association, it is said that AR-15s, the ArmaLite rifle, are used for hunting, target practice and shooting competitions. But the AR-15 style weapon has been used in the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida that killed 17, the Las Vegas shooting that killed 59, the Sutherland Springs church shooting that killed 26, the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando that killed 49, the San Bernardino shooting in California that killed 14 and, the one that brings tears to my eyes when I think of it just like the most recent shooting, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut that killed 26, including 20 children between the ages of 6 and 7-years-old. These numbers don’t even count the injured and the traumatized. Now, I understand the importance of the Second Amendment. I support it, in fact. But, historically speaking, any time something has been responsible for multiple deaths, we look for ways to make sure tragedy doesn’t strike again. When it comes to the First Amendment, free speech

and religion, threats do not fall under that category. We don’t consider Jim Jones’ Peoples Temple or Heaven’s Gate something that should be accepted because of freedom of religion. In 2016, Peter Rhee, a trauma surgeon at the University of Arizona, told Wired when comparing the damage an AR-15 can do compared to a 9mm handgun to the human body, that “One looks like a grenade went off in there. The other looks like a bad knife cut.” In what world do we allow 18-year-olds to buy two AR-15s and 375 rounds without even a background check or training when we require them to take a test to receive a permit, attend driving school and then take a road test for a driver’s license? To get a U.S. passport, it takes months between the application, the fee, the visit to the post office and the month or two it takes for the passport to be processed. Are we really okay with more regulations in order to leave the country than owning a deadly weapon that’s been proven the weapon of choice in mass causality events? Is that where we are? Is this the reality we’re going to accept? We all know that it’s time for gun responsibility in this country. Let’s do something about it.

THE SPIRIT OF OUR TOWN

Fr. Ralph Sommer

pump, through the hose, into my car. I thought, “What if I let my angers flow through the nozzle into the tank?” Of course in some ways that was stupid. Filling my tank with anger wasn’t really doing anything to make a difference in the world. But on the other hand, it started to make a difference internally. Anger is a secondary emotion. A primary emotion is what is felt immediately before we feel angry. We always feel something else first before we get angry. We might

first feel afraid, attacked, offended, disrespected, forced, trapped or pressured. If any of these feelings are intense enough, we think of the emotion as anger. So my recognition that I felt insignificant in the face of the world’s violence gave me a clue as to why the anger was building within me. Anger always seeks some form of release. Sometimes it leads to actual physical violence. Sometimes to verbal violence. Sometimes, if it is not released, it bottles up, causing internal destruction in our bodies. Sometimes, bottled up anger leads to depression, which is often the flip side of anger. Healthy release of anger can include physical exercise, artistic expression, appropriately expressing our feelings with others, and—as I discovered—pumping gas. As odd is it sounds, as I experienced the anger flowing out of me into the gas tank, I felt some release. What I was really doing was letting my imagination deal with the anger in a new creative way. You might think that with a tank full of anger

The Anger Pump Recently I discovered a cheap form of anger therapy while paying a high price for one of suburbia’s necessities. I was at the gas station filling my tank with expensive gasoline and resenting the daily increase in gas prices. My anger wasn’t merely about the cost of fuel, but it was connected to my distress at the war against Ukraine that not simply contributed to the current price situation, but that ruined so many lives of so many families. This was needless violence that also reached into my wallet. Then came more anger—not connected at all to gas prices—when shoppers upstate were murdered by a racist gunman. Then we heard of the murder of children and their teachers in Texas. I felt so helpless and insignificant because there was nothing I could do to stop the runaway violence that is plaguing our world. I was angry about my lack of ability to fix this. As I was pumping away at the gas station, I looked at the gas nozzle in my hand. I had pulled its trigger and could feel the flow from the

my driving would turn aggressive. But it didn’t. Somehow I felt an energy that propelled me toward my destination. I felt freer. Being freed from disturbing emotions can certainly help us in the areas of life where we have control. Instead of taking my anger out on the beloved readers of this column by ranting and raving over what I don’t like, instead of letting the anger poison my preaching, instead of becoming cantankerous with people in my life, I could be free to look for ways to be life-supporting. I could consider how I’m meant to be a healer of life’s wounds and look for the opportunities to walk with folks who are suffering from their own angers, frustrations and lack of power in difficult situations. I don’t know how long this metaphor will serve me. But while it does, I hope to increase the number of miles I get by letting the anger flow out. Your miles may vary.

COVER STORY

Tip Sheet: Good Health In Later Life For Older Men

mericans are living longer than ever, but American men still aren’t living as long as American women. The average life expectancy for men in the U.S. is now roughly 75 years. For women, it’s more than 80. Exactly why men are shorter-lived than women isn’t entirely clear. Even in infancy boys run a higher risk of dying than girls, and researchers aren’t sure why. However, research suggests that a leading reason for the “longevity gap” between men and women is that men don’t take care of themselves as well as women do. For example, surveys have found that women are much more likely to have a regular healthcare provider, and to see their provider within the course of the year, than men are. Men are also more likely to engage in “risky” behaviors—like smoking and drinking heavily—than women. Experts agree that by taking better care of themselves, men can increase their odds of living healthier, longer lives.

Tips for Older Men

See your healthcare provider regularly. Even if you feel perfectly healthy, you should see your provider at least once a year for a checkup. Call or see your healthcare provider when you’re feeling sick. Surveys find that men are less likely than women to see a healthcare provider when they’re not feeling well. In one survey, 40 percent of men said that, if they were sick, they would delay seeking medical care for a few days. Seventeen percent said they would wait “at least a week.” Prompt medical care can make a big difference—sometimes, the difference between life and death. Don’t wait. Take medications, vitamins, and supplements only as directed. When you visit your provider, bring either all of the pills you take, or a complete list of these that notes the doses you take, and how often you take them. Include medicines, vitamins, herbs and supplements (even those you buy in the store without a prescription). Why? Because the longer you live, and the more medicines you take, the more likely you are to experience some side effects, even from medicines bought over-thecounter at the pharmacy. Your provider should check all of your pills to make sure they’re safe for you to take, and that they don’t interact in harmful ways. Always check with your provider, or your pharmacist, before taking any new medicines of any kind. Take all medicines as directed, and tell your provider right away if a medication or other pill seems to be causing any problems or side effects. Get your shots! Check with your healthcare provider to make sure you’re getting: • A flu shot—every year in September or October before the flu season starts. • The shingles (herpes zoster) vaccine—once when 60 or older. • A combination tetanus/diphtheria booster shot—every 10 years. • Pneumonia vaccination—once after age 65 (your healthcare provider may suggest that

Screening, or checking, for early signs of certain health problems can help diagnose them early. The following screening approaches are generally recommended for older men; ask your healthcare provider if they’re right for you. Bone health evaluation: Periodically. Your healthcare provider should evaluate your risk of osteoporosis, or “thinning of the bones.” (It’s not just a woman’s disease.) Your healthcare provider should evaluate your risk and possibly recommend further testing. Remember: exercise strengthens the bones at any age. Blood pressure check: At least once a year. Cholesterol test for high blood cholesterol levels: Cholesterol screening should be done after consulting with your healthcare provider. Screening frequency depends on your age and general health.

Diagnosis Is Key To Cure

epatitis C is a virus that affects the liver and can cause chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. It is usually without symptoms and is only diagnosed when a specific hepatitis C test is ordered. Once diagnosed, hepatitis C can be cured with simple, easy to take medications. Hepatitis C affects about one percent of the population of the United States. Despite the ease of diagnosis and treatment, many people affected by this virus remain untreated and at risk for the development of cirrhosis and liver cancer. Diagnosis is key to disease cure and elimination. The main risk factors for hepatitis C include intravenous drug use, intranasal cocaine use, blood and blood product transfusions prior to 1992, unregulated tattooing and health care related needle stick injuries. The past decade has seen a significant rise in new cases of hepatitis C in young people due to the opioid use epidemic. Sexual transmission of hepatitis C is uncommon but can occur in men who have sex with men. In years past, screening for hepatitis C was recommended for any person with hepatitis C risk factors. This approach was highly unsuccessful in uncovering a significant number of people with hepatitis C. Because of this, the screening recommendations were changed to add screening for all people born between

1945 to 1965 as well continuing to screen people with risk factors. This approach identified some patients but for the most part, these recommendations were not followed and this approach was also unsuccessful in identifying large numbers of infected people. This led to the current recommendation that all people over the age 18 and anyone, regardless of age, with risk factors be evaluated for hepatitis C. Unfortunately, these recommendations are not widely followed and most people with hepatitis C remain undiagnosed. The hepatitis C epidemic can only be eliminated if these screening recommendations are followed. This requires health care provider awareness and education regarding the importance of hepatitis C and patient awareness and involvement to ask providers for the hepatitis C blood test.

The second component of solving the hepatitis C crisis is linking newly diagnosed patients to a provider that will provide the curative treatments. Hepatitis C treatment cures 98 to 99 percent of infected people, regardless of disease stage. These therapies can be given to both children and adults. Treatment consists of pills that are given either once a day for twelve weeks or three times a day for either eight or 12 weeks, depending on the genotype or subtype of the virus. These therapies are well tolerated with minimal to no side effects. They are affordable and covered by all insurances in New York State. They can be provided by a primary care provider, gastroenterologist, or

infectious disease specialist. Cure of hepatitis C is defined as having no detectable virus in the blood at a minimum of twelve weeks after completing the treatment regimen. With the rise in hepatitis C cases being seen amongst our youth and young adults, it is imperative that patients be aware of this condition and ask to be tested and that health care providers test all patients at least once for this condition and then link patients with hepatitis C to providers who will provide treatment. Only if these two conditions are met will we be able to eliminate hepatitis C from our population. —David Bernstein, MD, MACG, FAASLD, AGAF, FACP

Medical Research Foundation Gets New Name

long with Marty and Barbara Sass, Dr. Frank Arena has been a co-founder, president and director of research for the past 36 years at the Sass Foundation for Medical Research. It was only befitting with his dedication, “fire in the belly,” unending dedication and tireless efforts on behalf of this charitable foundation that the co-founders changed the name to The SASS-ARENA Foundation for Medical Research, Inc. to include their partner, friend and most respected medical oncologist, Arena. “We could not have done it without him,” said the Sasses. After a two-year hiatus, no thanks to COVID, The SASS-ARENA Foundation returned to the glorious venue of Guastavinos in Manhattan with their sold-out gala. They are back with a vengeance, a passion and a commitment that they will never forget all those that are fighting for their lives against the biggest bully of all—cancer. The gala had the distinct privilege of having a group of honorees that epitomize all that is good and courageous in their specific fields and in the world. Stacy Fischer-Rosenthal received this year’s Courage Award. Not only is she a brilliant businesswoman but a true

role model on how a person could turn a personal tragedy into a passion and a commitment that could impact the lives of so many people. She has been an award recipient at the American Cancer Society’s Taste of Hope Gala and the Breast Cancer & Survivorship Award in the 21st Century honor. She is an advocate for all those men and women who fear the evil spell of breast cancer and what it can do against them and their family. Dr. Robert Grossman, dean of the NYU Grossman Medical College was the medical honoree. His vision along with Ken Langone, has transformed the NYU Grossman Medical College into a fully scholarship school. This award was named after a member of the foundation’s board, Dr. Franco Muggia, a giant in the field of oncology and one of the founding fathers of the specialty. Last but not least, the humanitarian honor went to two men who have spent the past 20 years making a huge difference. John Feal, first responder and president of Feel Good Foundation suffered the blows and trauma of 9/11. He has endured 35 surgeries to correct what he suffered on that tragic day. He, along with Jon Stewart, fought tirelessly to protect anyone that

Feal introduced the foundation to Michael Barasch. Barasch is an attorney who has spent these last decades fighting tirelessly for all those that lost loved ones, or became afflicted by illnesses associated with this disaster. Barasch helped to register many dozens of cancers and illnesses that exposure to the toxins released by the fall of

the Twin Towers had caused. The SASS-ARENA Foundation for Medical Research commitment runs true despite COVID, war, politics or anything that may try to take attention away from their motto “together we will make a difference.” —SASS-ARENA Foundation for Medical Research

There is a lot of things that I don’t For the past know personally, but that I felt through the decade, the duo music. Instead of being isolated to a few of Schultz and countries, this is the whole world now. It’s Jeremiah Fraites a very strange, relatable thing. Part of the have been the goal of the record, at least subconsciously, constants in The is to try to write an album that describes the Lumineers (cellist/ pain without getting so caught in the weeds vocalist Neyla Pekarek was in the band in using the words quarantine or pandemfrom 2010-18) carving out a niche for itself ic.

pop music. “Even though I didn’t think that song was going to resonate the way it does. I just thought it was interesting to my ear,” he recalled. “It had to come from some place other than trying to please someone. I’ve been to BMI Awards where people collect awards for these songs and half the time, you never heard of the song and there are 12 or 15 writers that go up and collect trophies because I guess they generated money. Half the time, those guys don’t even like what they wrote. They just know that it’s catchy. Isn’t it better to just write stuff that you care about? So for me, there’s this element of people asking about the 10th anniversary of our first record and how that feels and what does that mean? And most of it is that we got to make stuff the way we liked it on our own terms. One of the things that I learned the more that I make music is to get out of your own way and to hold on to some level of your own innocence. You’re not just creating new instruments and making up new chords. You’re finding yourself not quite sure of what you’re doing. It’s funny to even evaluate things when they come out because in a lot of ways, my favorite record is something it took me a while [to come around to]. All of a sudden, it’s on heavy rotation the rest of my life. The transcendence of all this is a really funny thing. It’s like a mystical thing. That word alchemy comes to mind.” That straightforward simplicity comes across in spades on Brightside, whether it’s the opening title track that uses a cadence reminiscent of Tom Petty’s “Don’t Come

Around Here No More” while Schultz implores that, “I’ll be your brightside, baby, tonight” or providing reassurances during uncertain times amid bare bones piano accompaniment and just a hint of strings amid the optimistic vibe of “Where We Are.” Both songs have provided a degree of comfort to the band’s fan base, who have shared their feelings on social media. “Ironically, a lot of parents, whether its people I don’t know that are posting it or parents that I know personally—so many have sent me images of their kids singing ‘Where We Are’ or ‘Brightside,’” Schultz shared. “But particularly ‘Where We Are’ and they’re singing, ‘Where we are/I don’t know where we are’ and it’s these little kids, most of whom don’t even know words yet and they’re mouthing these words. That for me is very exciting to see. It’s like tapping into some kind of universal power.” Suffice it to say that the creative restlessness that defined so much of how Brightside came out will be a driving force of what the Lumineers will bring to the stage on this upcoming tour. “We have four albums out and we have to cut songs now and that’s a good feeling,” Schultz said. “We can actually put on a show that has no fat. As a band, we’re most excited to play. Not pulling a rabbit out of our hat, but having, from start to finish, moments [where fans] won’t want to leave, grab a beer or take a leak. You want to just be there. I got to see Tom Petty during his Wildflowers Tour and I forgot how many songs he wrote. I would never compare us to him, but in that feeling, I want people to leave hopefully saying, ‘I forgot how many songs they wrote,’ even just four albums in.” The Lumineers will be appearing on June 17 and June 18 at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, 1 Tennis Place, Forest Hills.

Heat Awareness

PSEG Long Island is prepared to meet the increased electrical demand that high temperatures bring, reminding customers to properly protect themselvers during the high heat days of summer. During extreme heat conditions, customers should: • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol. • Avoid wearing dark colors. Dark colors absorb the sun’s rays. • Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles. • Avoid overexertion during work or exercise, especially between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Customers on qualifying life-support equipment can register for the PSEG Long Island Critical Care Program to receive enhanced notifications from the company. During severe weather, registered customers will receive additional outreach from PSEG Long Island. Customers who rely on such equipment are responsible for planning ahead to meet medical needs in the event of a power outage. If power is lost, every effort will be made to restore it as soon as possible. Participation in the Critical Care Program does not guarantee priority power restoration. To register, call 1-800-490-0025. High temperatures can also lead to higher energy use, resulting in higher electric bills. To help save energy and money this summer, PSEG Long Island offers the following tips to customers: • Do not cool an empty house. Set your thermostat higher when you are away, or use a smart thermostat to control the temperature in your home. • Seal holes and cracks around doors and windows with caulk or weather-stripping. • Replace air filters monthly. Dirty filters make your air conditioner work harder. • Operate appliances in the morning or evening when it is cooler outside. • Set refrigerators and freezers to the most efficient temperatures.

• Replace old appliances with new, energy efficient ENERGY STAR appliances. • Close blinds and draperies facing the sun to keep out the sun’s heat. • Ceiling fans cool fast and cost less than air conditioning. (In hot weather, set your ceiling fan to spin quickly, counterclockwise to push air downward toward the floor.)

‘Senior Prom’ To Unite Senior Cats (8+ Years) And Potential T

Senior citizen adopters at newly renovated cat sanctuary

he Patricia H. Ladew Foundation, Inc., a cat rescue, sanctuary and adoption organization, will showcase its innovative Seniors for Seniors program on Saturday, June 11 from noon to 5 p.m. in a clever “Senior Prom” themed event. Staff and volunteers of the Ladew Cat Sanctuary will be on hand to give guided tours of the newly renovated Victorian home in which the cats reside. Thanks to a very generous donation to the Ladew Seniors for Seniors program from long-time supporter Jordan Salvit, co-founder of KitNipBox, the subscription box for cat toys and treats, the Ladew Foundation will announce at the event that it will be expanding the Seniors for Seniors program. Going forward: • The age for eligible cats will be reduced from 10 years old to eight. • The foundation has partnered with a growing list of veterinarians in Nassau, Queens, Brooklyn, Westchester and New Jersey to allow senior adopters to see participating veterinarians closer to home. To date the program has placed about 40 cats, 10 or more years old, with senior citizen adopters, with the benefit that the foundation will continue to pay all reasonable medical expenses for the cat at the shelter’s clinic in Oyster Bay. Additionally, senior cats may return to the sanctuary if circumstances change in the adopter’s life. This has enabled older community members to enjoy the benefits of pet ownership, which can include

redesigned Cat Sanctuary, planned and executed by Square Paws design team and Gerwald Construction, LLC. The major renovation was made possible by a bequest from a generous donor. The redesign of the cats’ living room, kitchen and recreation room features a whimsical retro theme in a nod to Patricia H. Ladew, the Long Island heiress who purchased the home for Oyster Bay’s stray cats back in 1975. The main event will be outdoors under a tent; masks will be required for all individuals who go indoors. The renovation has enhanced the home for the cats’ enjoyment and comfort while also creating a fun environment for people to come, meet up to 100 cats, and adopt. It includes cat-friendly furniture, fun and sustainable cat towers that are easy to clean with replaceable parts, eliminating the need to replace them over Cats like Simba are among the the months and years of use. residents up for adoption at the Ladew The Seniors for Seniors “Senior Prom” Cat Sanctuary’s will be on hand to give event will take place on the Patricia guided tours of the newly renovated H.

The foundation’s on-site veterinarian and staff maintain a homelike environment for the cats, and provide medical care and affection, making the cats adoption-ready once the intake process is complete. The foundation operates many innovative programs to raise funds and find adoptive homes for the cats in its care. Programs include Sponsor a Cat for people who cannot adopt, the Have a Heart Fund to provide medical care for cats with cardiac problems, an Emergency Fund, the Sandra Atlas Bass New Hope Fund which directly supports rescue of cats on euthanasia lists and/or needing medical attention at municipal shelters, memorial gifts, special occasion cards and more.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A little discomfort is part of the learning process; too much defeats the purpose because later you’ll end up right back where you’re started just to get some relief. The ideal environment offers security but is not so cushy you end up soft. You’re like Goldilocks this week; you’ll try things until you find the “just right” zone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Give-and-take relationships won’t work that well this week. It’s the taking that’s the problem. Whereas givers can only give until supply runs out, takers don’t know when to stop. When one supply stops, they’ll move to the next and the next. Seek clearly defined working arrangements and avoid ambiguous relationships.

Solution: 25 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re a self-directed person, doing things for your own reasons. Some won’t be able to appreciate your efforts, only because they have never contributed thusly and cannot relate. Continue undaunted. Though you don’t need it, eventually you will be acknowledged by those who understand what you do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The ones flashing wealth or flexing authority are often advertising how new it is to them and how much they need external things for validation. The power move is not to show off your energy but to hold it like the sun does, thus being the great magnet that others can orbit around and grow toward. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Resist the pressure to focus on one thing. Only you know when you’re ready to specialize; you’ll feel it. It is typical for creative minds like yours to try a wide array of endeavors. Fill your wells of inspiration with whatever interests you. Ultimately, your work will be enhanced by the breadth of your studies. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Compliments are much easier to give than constructive criticism. So you actually consider it more of a compliment when people are brave, honest and thoughtful enough to do the harder work of applying their critical mind to an assessment. You appreciate the value of critique and will apply it to great effect. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your development is a co-creation between the world and you. The world asks you to play a role, and you’ll apply your mind to building it uniquely. Imitation will be part of your process, but you’ll quickly outgrow the need to match yourself to an example. You’ll become your own example. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The “no guts, no glory” approach worked for you in the past, but these days you’re not after glory, so you take things in a different direction. “No guts, no fun” is the adage that keeps your week humming with excitement, risk, silliness and unforgettable moments of shared glee. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The obstacle between you and what you want is caused by misunderstanding, differences in ideology and generational clashes. A breakthrough will require tolerance. The key is offering the benefit of the doubt, seeking understanding and deciding not to take offense.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

A playful energy lights up your relationships. It’s as though you and your loved ones have passes to a secret amusement park where you can go and have fun together no matter what else is happening in the world. You’ll sharpen your leadership skills as you take charge of a mission. You’ll enjoy this better when your tenure is short. Get in, make the change that will serve all and then hand the baton to the next person. Upgrades to the home environment will be health-enhancing. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). We equate wealth with hard work, but it’s not always the case. Tremendous labors can pay very little, and many fortunes are made without huge effort. Be open-minded as you look for opportunity this week. Seek input from people very different from yourself because a broader perspective offers more options.

You can’t see declarer’s cards when you’re a defender, but it is often possible to visualize them almost as if they were faceup on the table. The relevant inferences may be drawn from either the bidding or the play, but usually it is necessary to examine both of these areas. Consider this case where East had to make a crucial decision at trick one. West led the ten of diamonds, on which declarer played dummy’s jack, and East had to decide

whether the diamond lead was a singleton or a doubleton. If East decides that the ten is a singleton, he should take the jack with the ace and return a diamond for West to ruff. If East had done this in the actual deal, South would have made the contract easily, losing only a spade, a diamond and a club. But East donned his thinking cap and decided that the lead was almost surely a doubleton. Accordingly, he signaled with the seven of diamonds instead of taking the ace. When West later gained the lead with the king of trump, he returned a diamond to East’s ace and ruffed the diamond return to put the contract down one. East knew from the bidding that declarer had four spades and four hearts. (North’s two-club bid was Stayman, asking South to bid a four-card major suit if he had one, and South had bid both.) It followed that South could not have four diamonds, since that would mean he had opened one notrump with a singleton club. West’s lead therefore had to be a doubleton, and the best chance of stopping the contract was to proceed on the assumption that West could gain the lead before all the trumps were drawn and could then secure his diamond ruff.

He did tours in Vietnam, Japan, and Korea. “I had mixed emotions about the parade,” Furman said. “I was happy to see people come out and honor the war dead, sad because I think of some of the people, I served with that lost their lives, and humbled that I made it home.” Furman joined marchers and residents after the ceremony at the VFW for hot dogs and conversation. “My ask today is very simple to all of you - please stop and thank a veteran right here in our community for their service, ”Lafazan said.

Gus Scutari Memorial Park is located on the corner of Underhill Boulevard and Jackson Avenue.

Four Syosset teenagers, known as the Adeliettes, sang the National Anthem at the ceremony.

After the ceremony, residents and marchers were invited to the VFW for food and conversation with the veterans.

“We are home of the brave, because of the brave, we don’t know them, but we owe them all our eternal gratitude for their sacrifice,” said QuarterMaster VFW and House Chairman Joe Grehan.

Choreo Is Back

BY JESSY SIEGMANN, ALEX DAMAST AND SARAH COHON

editors@antonnews.com

fter a long three years, Choreo is finally back. Jericho High School’s dancers have been without an audience due to the pandemic, and now they were able to dance in front of their families and friends who attended the troupe’s recitals on June 2 and 3. In the days approaching Choreo, dancers and teachers are experiencing a series of emotions, especially the seniors, considering this would be their first “normal” Choreo since freshman year. For a lot of students, dance class is a time to unwind and take a break from academic stresses. Senior and choreographer Yana G. said, “It really feels like a reward to really be back.” Jericho High School dance teacher and Choreo advisor Jenna Corbett has led Choreo for 11 years. After not having Choreo due to the pandemic, Corbett appreciates her program even more. She said, “When Choreo was canceled it was devastating, and it really made me think about how much I enjoyed the culminating event and seeing all the work throughout the year come together on stage in front of a

Senior and choreographer Sydney S. said, “A lot of other dance programs out of school are canceled and we always have this constant at Jericho, and it is a very good program that has very dedicated people.” Choreo is a family tradition. Freshman dancer Ryan F. has had two sisters who were part of the program. She has been attending the shows for years. Ryan said, “I was always so jealous of them and went to every show. I was waiting for my turn, and now I am super excited to be a part of Choreo.” Social studies teacher and Choreo assistant advisor Alyssa Lionetti has been working very hard along with Corbett these past weeks to prepare for Choreo. This is Lionetti’s first year of the Choreo program and she is very excited. She said, “Everyone is able to express themselves in different styles and be able to have fun with it, that’s like the main part of the show.” The advisors, choreographers, and dancers all worked hard to make the return of this event extra special.

Three Jericho Seniors Named Regeneron Scholars

Three Jericho High School seniors were named Regeneron Scholars out of a total of 300 students who were nationally named scholars. This contest was formerly known as the Intel Science Talent Search. The three Jericho students are Sara Chan, Janice Rateshwar and Ethan Wang. “Congratulations to this year’s 300 Regeneron Science Talent Search scholars for their remarkable contributions and discoveries in the STEM field,” said Christina Chan, Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications and Citizenship at Regeneron. “We are honored to celebrate this new generation of problem solvers who have demonstrated the depth of their innovative thinking, commitment to continuous learning, and ability to tackle global challenges in creative ways.” The 300 scholars and their schools will be awarded $2,000 each.

Long Island University Named Distinguished Delegation At The National Model United Nations Conference In New York City The Long Island University Model United Nations team was named “Distinguished Delegation” in the world’s largest intercollegiate Model United Nations competition that took place April 10 to 14 in New York City. Long Island University students competed with thousands of delegates from prestigious universities representing five continents and dozens of United Nations member states, including the U.S., France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Korea, Lebanon, Chile, Colombia and the Philippines. Secretary-General of the United Nations António Guterres celebrated the National Model UN participants for believing in the power of global cooperation and stated “the United Nations is your steadfast ally as we strive to build a sustainable, inclusive and resilient world for all…our world needs your engagement and ideas more than ever.” Long Island University, which has a cam-

pus in Brookville, consistently ranks among the top Model United Nations delegations in national and global United Nations competitions. Long Island University received the top prize of “Outstanding Delegation” out of more than 50 national universities at the National Model United Nations Conference in Washington, D.C. from November 5 to 7, 2021. Long Island University won the prestigious award by competing against top national universities across the U.S., including Georgia Tech, U.S. Air Force Academy, Clemson University, Wake Forest University, Pepperdine University, Baylor University, Syracuse University, and many more. In 2022, the National Model United Nations (NMUN) recognized Long Island University for over three decades of commitment to the ideals of the United Nations. Specifically, the National Model United Nations honored Long Island University

Held on January 22 to 24, the ANHE virtual event included several rehearsals with six of the most prominent conductors in the United States and workshops with renowned clinicians. Each ensemble created a final, recorded performance that will be premiered online

during the 37th NAfME Music In Our Schools Month in March. The ANHE performers represent collaboration and creativity in its highest musical form. During the 2020 to 2021 school year, talented music students across the United States and overseas in military-base schools practiced diligently to gain a chair or part in their local, district and state music honor ensembles.

Of those most elite high school musicians, 533 were considered to be the “best of the best” and were selected for the NAfME festival by audition. All-National Honor Ensembles consist of a concert band, symphony orchestra, mixed choir, jazz ensemble, guitar ensemble and modern band. —Submitted by the Syosset Central School District
