Drug Makers To Pay For Treatment, Prevention

Settlements will yield millions for Nassau County BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

triumph, yes, but too many lives have been lost to the scourge of opioids for politicians to take a victory lap. Instead, they have the satisfaction of knowing that the same companies who fueled the overdose epidemic will now finance the means to control it. On July 20, the same day New York State Attorney General Leticia James, in Albany, was announcing a $1.1 billion dollar agreement with three pharmaceutical distributors, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and her Suffolk County counterpart, Steve Bellone, were at the John P. Cohalan Court Complex in Central Islip to spread the same news. After all, the lawsuit initiated by the state and the two counties set the stage for the settlements, which Curran said will bring more than $115 million into the county treasury for drug treatment and prevention efforts. The following day, James unveiled a proposed $26 billion global settlement that would be distributed across the nation. The development is reminiscent of the late 1990s tobacco settlement, which resulted in cigarette manufacturers paying hundreds of billions to the states to cover the costs of treatment for the cancers and heart disease that their products had caused over the decades. According to Curran, the $115 million will come from drug distributors AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson, along with Johnson & Johnson and four chain pharmacies— Walgreens, Walmart, CVS and Rite Aid. “Before Nassau went to trial, I made a promise that we would make these companies pay,” Curran said. “While no amount of money will replace the countless lives that have been affected, we can save future lives by expanding our support network and increasing funding for mental health and addiction programs, along with prevention efforts.” The executive credited the partnership with Suffolk County, the work of acting County Attorney John Chiara, “as well as the dedication and persistence of our outside counsel, the law firm of Napoli Shkolnik.” Curran noted that the pandemic and the opioid crisis are “things that know

I commend County Executives Steve Bellone and Laura Curran for blazing the trail and bringing forth these lawsuits on behalf of the other 55 counties and the City of New York. Suffolk and Nassau were two of the [counties] hardest hit by this public health crisis and it was their leadership and commitment to securing justice on behalf of the victims that made today’s settlement possible.” It is expected that the Nassau Legislature will approve this settlement, as it approved a previous one last month. In a press release from the Republican Majority, it noted that “money from settlements will be placed into a special revenue fund, created by Majority legislators, that will make sure every dollar received in these settlements will go towards prevention, treatment and education for the opioid epidemic.” “By approving these settlements and creating this special revenue fund, we will ensure that every dollar coming from these settlements goes to the people that need it most,” Leg. Bill Gaylor (R–Lynbrook) said. “We will continue to take meaningful action to end the heroin and opioid abuse epidemic in Nassau County.” In a press conference earlier this year, Curran and Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder admitted that the battle against opioid addiction had been stymied by the pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently announced that overdose deaths reached a record 93,000 in the United States in 2020, in no small measure due to the pandemic.

Running For A Change BY JOE VERNICE

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

he people of Iran, especially its Jewish population, have experienced many hardships in the past decades, with many people struggling to even put food on the table. This problem hits close to home for Great Neck residents Brittany Chadi, her fiancé Cyrus Nazmiyal and his brother Sina Nazmiyal. Chadi, a Jewish-Persian American, a self-published author and rising second year law student, grew up on Long Island and felt very inspired by her Persian culture. Cyrus, an avid athlete, who works for his family’s business making homemade rugs, felt very connected to Iran growing up. Together with Cyrus’s brother Sina, a pharmaceutical litigation attorney, they felt that they had to do something “to give back to the soil that raised our mothers and fathers” and to “give back to a culture that we feel very connected to.” The three spearheaded the formation of a new nonprofit organization called I-RAN for Iran, or IFI. This organization combines the founders’ love for running as well as their goal of helping the people of Iran through a hunger crisis. Chadi felt that this nonprofit would be a great way to “facilitate the type of creative relationships between the citizens of Iran and art mediums, so they can create the type of culture that we were raised on.” In terms of goals, Cyrus said that he wanted to “sustain

[the people of Iran] in any way we can.” The group is currently working with synagogues, charities and orphanages in Iran in order to give aid to those in need. Moms Against Poverty (MAP) is a non-governmental organization and charity

that Cyrus felt was run with the highest form of integrity. MAP is not a religiously affiliated group, as the three felt that their goal should be “Jews giving back to Iran, not solely for Jews,” but “for social justice in Iran, to fight poverty.” Every dollar that goes to MAP is audited by the

Treasury of the United States in order to ensure that it is going only to the people in need. As an avid athlete Cyrus felt that IFI should host charity runs to raise money for Moms Against Poverty. The first such event will be held on Aug. 25 and it will be a six mile run (10K), in a loop around Great Neck. “It’s a beautiful walk around the west shore and east shore of Great Neck,” Cyrus said. “It’s a run I do every Saturday morning.” There will be prizes for the people that come in first through 10th place, as well as sponsorships and places to make donations. The group felt that they were “adamant on wanting high school athletes to participate,” as it would allow them to connect with the culture that Brittany, Cyrus and Sina themselves grew up in. The run itself is for all ages, however, and Sina said, “it would be a beautiful sight to see 70-, 80-year old refugees from Iran walking, as well.” The run will take about 45 minutes to an hour for runners and about two to three hours for walkers, though those in attendance do not have to complete the whole thing and can stop any time along the way. The three founders of IFI hope that they will be “influencing our generation so we as a whole will be able to impact that society” and help those in need in Iran. —Joe Vernice is a contributing writer for Anton Media Group

Bodian spent considerable time during the pandemic advancing worthwhile community initiatives and helping those in need. He donated all proceeds he earned—from recycling plastic bottles and aluminum cans—to the Girls & Boys Club of Oyster Bay. These funds enabled the Club to purchase new software and games for youth members. Bodian also delivered 100 care packages to Momma’s House, an organization that provides shelter care for expectant mothers and their babies who are homeless.

roperties in Sag Harbor, Port Jefferson, Huntington, St. James, East Hampton, Southampton and East Hills are included in Long Island’s list of endangered historic places. Preservation Long Island’s Endangered Historic Places List for 2021 includes seven sites and one district facing a variety of threats from demolition and overdevelopment, to a lack of municipal funding and support for historic preservation in communities throughout our region. Important historic places across Long Island are threatened by a variety of adverse conditions, from outright demolition to a lack of appreciation for their historic value, or the inability to develop sustainable long-term plans for preservation and stewardship. Preservation Long Island (formerly the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities), established the Endangered Historic Places Program (EHPP) with the goal of raising region-wide support for historic places facing precarious circumstances. “The program offers Long Islanders an opportunity to advocate for preservation in their communities while learning how to use tools like landmark designation, tax incentives and public outreach,” Alexandra Wolfe, Preservation Long Island’s Executive Director, said. “Our program partners receive priority technical assistance from our professional staff and their listings are featured on our website and social media.” The pandemic did not have a negative impact on the public response to the open call for nominations issued last November.

“This year marks the largest number of nominations received in a single program year since the establishment of the program in 2010,” Sarah Kautz, Preservation Long Island’s Director of Preservation and Advocacy said. A total of 18 nominations were submitted for the 2021 program year from communities across Long Island. A panel of Preservation Long Island staff and trustees, as well as experts in architecture, historic preservation, and other related fields selected the properties based on three key criteria: overall historic significance, severity of the threat and impact the EHPP listing will have on efforts to protect the nominated site. Visit the 2021 Endangered Historic Places page on their website to learn more about each of the selected sites, and to register for the free virtual events. Preservation Long Island invites all Long Islanders to join us in celebrating and supporting the important sites on Long Island’s List of Endangered Historic Places for 2021: John Mackay III’s “Happy House”, Village of East Hills, Nassau County.

Bill Introduced To Help Small Businesses Prepare For Cyber Attacks

Congressman Andrew Garbarino proposes bipartisan legislation BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

ccording to the Mid-Year 2021 Cybercrime Report, a study produced by Sontiq, the industry leader in Intelligent Identify Security (IIS), cybercrime experienced a significant up-tick in the wake of the pandemic. Sontiq Senior Vice President of Financial Wellness Jim Van Dyke pointed out its after-effects will be felt long after the world has wrangled COVID-19 back to a sense of normalcy. “Cybercriminals seized on new vulnerabilities created by remote work and the general chaos of the pandemic,” Van Dyke said. “Small businesses, in particular, were not as well-equipped to fend off cyberattacks. Most people do not realize how dangerous these small-scale data breaches can be.” It’s a sentiment Congressman Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) agrees with and led to his introducing the Small Business Cyber Security Training Act. Jumping aboard this bipartisan bill as original co-sponsors are Congressman Steve Chabot (R-OH), Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) and Congressman Dwight Evans (D-PA). In light of malware attacks that touched myriad small businesses across the country ranging from Light Tower

Congressman Andrew Garbarino Financial Strategies in Marblehead, MA and Maine Drilling & Blasting in Suwanee, GA to Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services in Gallup, NM, Garbarino’s concerns about cybercrime run deep. “Cyber attacks are ramping up against everything from our critical infrastructure to schools and small businesses and we must do more to prepare for and mitigate against these attacks,” he said. “As both a member of the House Small Business Committee and Ranking Member of the House Homeland Security Committee’s Cybersecurity Subcommittee, I

have seen how difficult it is for small in cyber-attacks against our economic businesses to arm themselves against infrastructure should be cause for these kinds of attacks due to resource serious alarm.

everal weeks ago, we shared the news that Long Island would most likely not see the emergence of the Brood-X cicada because of man-made changes over the past two decades. This, however, does not mean that other cicada broods on varying life-cycles will not emerge from their slumber this season. Its killer, the cicada killer, to be exact, is already on the hunt and ready to strike. We found this girl (pictured) buzzing around some flowers earlier this week and immediately thought, “The murder wasps have finally arrived from the west,” which prompted a call to Jeffry Petracca, curator of entomology at the Long Island Aquarium’s Butterfly and Insect Zoo. “That is definitely a cicada killer,” said Petracca, who has studied and raised insects and spiders for more than 20 years, after taking a look at the mugshot we sent. Cicada killers are parasitoids because they hunt cicadas and sting them, paralyzing them with venom, and then carry them back to their burrow where their babies will eat the cicada. The wasps’ burrows are usually produced in sandier soils.

You will see anywhere from one to 20 wasp burrows near one another in your yard. “I prefer ‘cicada hawk,’ because ‘killers’ make them sound more dangerous than they are. They may look big and terrifying, but they are actually gentle giants and really wouldn’t hurt you unless you physically grab them,” said Petracca. He advised, if you see one, simply leave it alone. They do not pose a threat to you or your children, although a digging dog might get stung accidently in retaliation. “These guys are becoming increasingly uncommon, especially in developed areas like those of Long Island, and like other bees and wasps (of which there are hundreds of species on Long Island), they are essential members of ecosystems by acting as pollinators,” Petracca said. “These are good bugs. Simply respect them and give them space, and they won’t bother you.”

Trustee Walsh Seeks Higher Office BY RACHEL DOBKIN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

illage of Mineola Board of Trustees member Dennis Walsh has decided to throw his hat into the ring and run for the Town of North Hempstead’s Third District since Councilman Angelo Ferrara has decided to step down this year after serving his third term. The Third District within the Town of North Hempstead encompasses Garden City Park, Mineola, Williston Park, Garden City, and parts of New Hyde Park. Walsh is a retired New York City Police Officer who grew up in Williston Park. He graduated from Mineola High School and has lived in Mineola for 38 years. When he is not working, he is with his wife, Barbara, and his son Neil. Walsh has been on the village’s board of trustees since April 2013 and is now looking for something new. Besides his responsibilities in office, Walsh is

also a member of the Irish American Society, Portuguese Heritage Society and an usher at Corpus Christi Church. According to Walsh, he has decided to run for the Third District to bring the accomplishments that the board has made in Mineola to the Town of North Hempstead. “We delivered a zero percent tax increase from 2016-18 and never pierced the New York State tax cap,” Walsh said. If elected, Walsh said he will fight to freeze salaries for elected officials and commissioners over the next four years. He will also maintain a two-party system for transparency and oversite that will produce checks and balances, fiscal control and control of runaway government in terms of size, cost and regulations. With his background in the police force, Walsh finds importance in public safety issues and the support of the county police. He would also

rug since Mineola has a good rating on the Moody’s credit rating scale. Walsh is hoping to bring down the town’s debt by enacting a pay-asyou-go instead of a tax and spend policy. He would also like to protect and increase all senior programs in the Town of North Hempstead. Walsh is currently endorsed by Mayor Scott Strauss, Williston Park Mayor Paul Ehrbar, Nassau County Majority Leader Richard Nicolello, and Nassau County Clerk Maureen O’Connell. If Walsh is elected, Strauss will appoint a temporary trustee until the next election in March of 2022. Walsh, who is on the Republican ticket, is running against Democratic candidate Christine Pusateri, who is a speech pathologist. The Town of North Hempstead’s Third District election will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 2. —Rachel Dobkin is a contributing writer for Anton Media Group

Congresswoman Kathleen Rice. All USMMA graduates incur an obligation to serve the United States. The U.S. Flag Merchant Marine—manned exclusively by American mariners—is essential for securing the country’s commerce in peacetime and delivering warfighters, weapons, and military supplies in times of conflict. The majority of “Kings Pointers” serve for eight years as Navy reservists in the Strategic Sealift Officer Program while working aboard U.S. flag vessels; others will serve on active duty in our nation’s armed forces. By virtue of their elite training and real-world experience, graduates are ready to go on day one in service of American military strength and

economic power. As part of her four year education, Lei spent one year training as a cadet aboard ocean going vessels. U.S. Senator Mark Kelly (AZ), a 1986 alumnus of the Academy, gave the commencement address and told the graduates “Your graduation comes at a particularly important inflection point in the United States history. Sea power matters now more than ever. And a big part of that is all of you.” Dedicated during WWII, USMMA has since served the nation in both peace and war. Learn more at www.

On hand at the public hearing once again was the property owner’s lawyer Andrea Tsoukalas Curto who showed the village board adjustments to the buildings landscape and signage. “My client is proposing to put in a new sidewalk with plantings and grass within the village’s right of way,” Curto said. “He is also proposing to put additional plantings on his property as depicted on the plan that was presented to the board of trustees. He has also agreed to include benches and a bike rack within the village’s right of way for residents to use. The overall plan is to beautify the area and to give it a more residential feel. The location of the signs was agreed to at the hearing—both signs will be on the corner of 12th Street and Third Avenue with one on each wall. This location will have the least impact on neighbors living in the immediate area.” The lot area for the building is that of .45 acres and is situated in the village’s industrial building

Village Examines Cathedral Avenue Traffic Study The intersection of Cathedral Avenue and Second Street in the village. (Contributed photo) BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

t’s a busy road throughout the Village of Garden City, and at the village’s most recent board of trustees meeting, trustees looked closely at how to make Cathedral Avenue safer for pedestrians and motorists. At the meeting, Frank Filiciotto from Creighton Manning Engineering, LLP, presented the results of a road diet traffic calming study for Cathedral Avenue. In recent years, the avenue has experienced speeding and a significant number of car accidents. Between 2017-19, 163 accidents were reported where 56 percent of those accidents resulted in some type of injury. Fortunately, there have been no fatalities. Community requests for traffic calming interventions prompted the opportunity to evaluate Cathedral Avenue. Creighton Manning Engineering, LLP began a study this past January to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a road diet along Cathedral Avenue from 7th Street to St. Paul’s Place. “This traffic study is near and dear to my heart over the past months” Filiciotto said. “I’ve visited [Cathedral Avenue] multiple times and it’s something that I believe in, having seen some of the

statistics on the roadway.” The proposed road diet would transform Cathedral Avenue, which is Nassau County-owned, from a fourlane road without shoulders into a three-lane road with shoulders—one travel lane in each direction from St. Paul’s Place to 6th Street with a twoway left-turn lane. Shoulders could be paved, turned into dedicated bike lanes or created with curb extensions. Filiciotto added that Hilton Avenue currently has this type of road format. “When you have a four-lane road with no turn lanes, you have upwards of eight conflict

points at an intersection,” Filiciotto explained. “When you diet the road, you just reduce those conflict points by half. The opportunity for accidents, particularly accidents of severe nature are reduced. Additionally, overall crashes on the corridor are typically reduced with a road diet. There’s a significant reduction in speed in association with that.” Back in 2013, Nassau County had adopted a Complete Streets policy, which essentially requires all transportation approvals to include all road users—not just cars. In 2017, Filiciotto

was a part of a preliminary traffic safety evaluation that was performed on behalf of some concerned neighbors in the village. During that period, in 2018 there was a traffic signal installed on the corner of Cathedral Avenue and Third Street. In 2020 right before COVID-19 struck, Creighton Manning Engineering, LLP met with the county’s DPW to talk about the scope of the project that would be needed to look at a road diet on Cathedral. “Cathedral and Third has gotten better with the installation of the traffic signal, but this 2019 data from

[the] 2017-19 [study] does show a preponderance of accidents right in the center of the corridor,” Filiciotto said in regards to accidents. According to Filiciotto, the posted speed limit for Cathedral Avenue is 30 milesper-hour. Most motorists, both pre-pandemic and during the pandemic, on average were going 15 milesper-hour over the speed limit. It was also revealed at the meeting that Nassau County approved a traffic signal for Fourth Street and Cathedral Avenue, which according to Filiciotto, should be installed over the next 10 years. Following feedback provided by residents, board members and Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson, Creighton Manning will finalize the report and conceptual plan so that it can be adopted by the board of trustees, if desired, and then submitted to Nassau County for review and approval.

Village Receives COVID Funding

illage Treasurer Irene Woo has announced that the village will receive a total of $2.293 million in COVID relief funding through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, a $1.9 trillion relief bill signed into law in March. The stimulus package provides billions of dollars in direct financial relief for state and local governments, including $65 billion for America’s cities, villages and towns, as well as $65 billion for counties. The village is receiving an estimated $110 per capita. The funding will be delivered in tranches; the first half is expected to be received within the next month, and the second half 12 months after the first payment is received. Unlike FEMA funding, the relief will arrive before the Village reports how the funding is being used. Use of funds has recently been expanded to now include any COVID-related revenue losses as well as water, sewer and broadband infrastructure improvements. Woo said Finance Department staff is reviewing the voluminous guidelines distributed by the United States Department of the Treasury. Once funding is received, the board of trustees will direct those funds as they

see fit within the guidelines.

The MTA/LIRR will be performing an emergency crossing rehabilitation on the Franklin Avenue grade crossing for approximately 24 hours starting on Saturday July 31 at 1 a.m. to Sunday Aug. 1 at 1 a.m. due to a defect discovered within the crossing. The MTA closed the crossing the prior weekend to allow for its Signal Department to do preparatory work. Signage will be placed at the crossing prior to its closure so it will be advertised to the community/business owners/ pedestrians/drivers. The MTA is coordinating and communicating with the Garden City Fire and Police departments, which will notify the ambulance crews in advance. The MTA PD will also be on both sides of the crossing to support the closure.

Outdoor Dining Tents

including several restaurant owners on Franklin Avenue and Seventh Street and representatives of the chamber of commerce, the trustees have agreed to obtain additional feedback from the Building and Fire departments with regard to the dining tents and partitions that the restaurants erected behind their restaurants in the village during COVID capacity restrictions. In January 2021, the Garden City Chamber of Commerce requested authorization to extend the enhanced Outdoor Dining Program for Waterzooi, Novita, Calogero’s and Revel for all of 2021 or until such time as capacity restrictions on restaurants are lifted. The aforementioned

restaurants installed partitions and erected tents to accommodate additional outdoor dining. Authorization was approved for the establishments to continue offering additional outdoor dining for a oneyear period—Dec. 31, 2021—or until such time as capacity restrictions on restaurants were lifted. The Fire and Building departments voiced several concerns regarding the tent structures and access to these establishments. The mayor has contacted the Nassau County Fire Marshal’s office to review the outdoor dining structures.

Board Meetings Will Continue Via Zoom

The village’s board of trustees has announced it will continue offering a remote Zoom option for board meetings.

Now more than ever, we can count on the latest, exciting technology to help achieve the best possible cosmetic surgery results. We are each confronted by the media with hundreds of alternatives to helping improve our appearance, regain our youth and tone up our bodies. The reality is that the true secret to maintaining a youthful look is paying attention to the basic issues that you can control – getting adequate sleep, drinking plenty of water, watching your diet and finding the time to exercise. What many of us find, however, is that this quest for beautiful skin and a beautiful body can be quite frustrating. We can help you obtain the look that you are striving for by using the available advancements in technology to assist you in attaining your goals. If you are interested in looking thinner and shapelier, consider Dr. Greenberg’s revolutionary Plasma Lipo™, a perfect combination of body contouring procedures. Plasma Lipo™ is a liposuction system that offers a revolutionary and minimally invasive procedure for the removal of fat with less downtime and fewer side effects than traditional liposuction. It is performed utilizing plasma technology to obtain better skin

retraction resulting in a tighter abdomen, thighs, arms, chest and neck. The newest technology for hair restoration is NeoGraft, which is the first and only Class One FDA Listed automated medical system for hair restoration. This system harvests, collects, and implants individual follicular grafts for a natural look. Follicular unit extraction is an advanced, minimally-invasive hair transplant method which allows for the harvesting of individual follicles from the donor area without a scalpel incision or the necessary stitches, and therefore leaves no linear scar. Results are natural and permanent hair growth. Neograft can be performed with PRP Therapy for more dramatic results. Another avenue to consider when pursuing your desire to look younger are “injectables”, which are effective in reducing lines and wrinkles on the face, without surgery. Botox and Dysport as well as dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane will provide a refreshed and more youthful look quickly. What better time than now to work on getting ready for your ideal shape? Remember, the perfect cosmetic surgery package can help create the perfect you.

LIRR Project Still Generating Discontent BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

t the “macro” level, the 9.8-mile, $2.6-billion Long Island Rail Road Expansion Project was arguably overdue, will bring many benefits and is a good example of long range planning. But as many warned during pre-construction public hearings, such a complex undertaking would also bring headaches and disruptions to the thousands who live along the expansion corridor from Floral Park to Hicksville. The meetings last month of both the Town of North Hempstead Town Board and the Carle Place Civic Association (CPCA) brought forth complaints from residents and officials/community leaders alike about aspects of the project. One issue centered on the Cherry Lane railroad overpass in Carle Place. The new bridge was rolled into place in July 2019 in an impressive engineering feat overseen by main contractor 3TC. However, CPCA leaders and locals noted that the bridge has been leaking ever since. On a recent visit, large water stains could be seen on the west side of the bridge abutment, and water was pooled on the sidewalk. One local resident said he has photographed water leaking from the middle of the bridge as well. The MTA, through a spokesperson, said it will not accept the work of the contractor until necessary repairs are made. At the June town board meeting, Councilwoman Viviana Russell, who represents the district, asked DPW Acting Commissioner Victor Thomas to weigh in. “We have the final approval,” Thomas stated. “We’re not going to approve the final sign-off on the project until every item has been addressed, so it’s not like we’re helpless in this situation. The MTA is a client and in this case the MTA is not happy with the Cherry Lane overpass either. We know about the issue. Our town’s acceptance releases a tremendous amount of money for 3TC. They know that that’s over their heads and they also know we’re never going to accept anything that’s not a hundred percent.” What is the implication of the town not signing off? According to town spokesperson Gordon Tapper, the end result would be that 3TC will not be completely paid. “The MTA [agrees] with the town that work still needs to be completed to fix the leaks,” Tapper said. “3TC has vowed to make those repairs. There’s a punch list of items that they have to do before the project is complete, and that includes fixing the leaks.”

Residents and public officials have criticized the utility pole at the far left, on the island defining the drop-off circle at the Carle Place railroad station. (Photo by Frank Rizzo) He added, “It’s my understanding that the reason why the situation hasn’t been rectified yet is that they have to temporarily shut down a portion of the Ronkonkoma train line for days to take care of this. I was told that they have to dig up a track underneath and it’s cumbersome and it’s something that would take some time.” Tapper referred further questions about possible remediation to the MTA.

Drop Off Critics

The other issue centered on the so-called ‘Kiss and Ride” at the Carle Place railroad station. The short circular driveway is a spot for drivers to drop off commuters. Residents, town officials and civic leaders all claimed that preliminary drawings did not show a utility pole at the edge of the “island” that defines the roundabout. “Why they put the PSEG pole there

is really a failure of communications, and they know that we are holding that over them,” Thomas said. Russell said the town’s attorney’s office is looking into the possible legal remedies and pointedly said, “They did not have our permission to put the pole in there, nor did they consult with us about putting the pole there.” Tapper said that town officials met with 3TC and the MTA the second week in July “to discuss the position of the pole. What Councilwoman Russell stated was absolutely true, that we did not grant permission to put the pole at that place and we were not consulted about it. The MTA and 3TC both acknowledge that it was done without the town’s approval. However, they identify PSGE-LI as being responsible for the placement of the pole.” A spokesperson for PSEG-LI referred questions to the MTA.

An MTA spokesperson stated, “The location of the utility pole in the center of the Stonehinge Lane Roundabout was disclosed to the town and the Carle Place community during a July 2018 public meeting , and the presentation has been posted publicly on 3TC’s website since then.” During the June CPCA meeting Secretary Kristin Biggin acknowledged the frustration in the community over the project, especially by residents of Atlantic Ave North and South on either side of the tracks and off of Cherry Lane. She suggested that residents fill out the quarterly community scorecards. After the last quarterly survey, she related, the “LIRR got kind of concerned [because] the scorecard from Carle Place was a little alarming. So they wanted to know what was going on.” The result was what she called a long Zoom meeting in which many of the residents’ beefs were aired. Biggin urged the several dozen people in attendance, “Get in touch with local leaders. Fill out the community scorecard. Contact Senator Kaplan.” On July 22, 3TC had slated a Zoom meeting with people living on Atlantic Avenue North “to hear concerns and to gather input for plantings along the wall.” Information about the meeting was not available at press time.

Plainview Fire Department Shares Water Safety Tips As summer continues to simmer, the Plainview Fire Department expressed through Facebook the importance of taking simple precautions to reduce the risk of drowning. Following the simple guidelines can help keep children safe around pools, lakes and rivers, as pools should be a source of summer fun, not worry. Exercise caution and learn how to respond during an emergency to keep swim time enjoyable. Pool safety tips: -Constant supervision: stay within arm’s reach of one’s children, whether they are in a bathtub or pool. Bring them along when leaving the pool, even if a lifeguard is present. -Childproof pools: Home pools should be properly fenced in and

covered with alarms on doors leading to the pool. -Life jackets: Make sure the children are always wearing a life jacket when on a boat or in the lake or river. Have the child wear one in the pool if they are a weak swimmer. -Swim lessons: Teach the children to swim and make sure they know to ask for permission before going in the pool. -CPR certification: Learn CPR. This lifesaving technique can save the life of one’s child or another victim from non-fatal drowning.

Living History Flight Experience Returns

Demand high for Airpower Museum C-47 D-Day flight; veterans honored

he American Airpower Museum (AAM) reintroduced its popular C-47 D-Day Living History Flight Experience on June 12, completing four historic reenactment flights. Since then, demand for more flight experiences was so strong that AAM will hold another day-long program on Saturday, July 31 (rain date is Sunday, Aug. 1). The WWII Douglas C-47 Skytrain Troop Transporter—“The Gooney Bird”— along with the professional reenactors, provides a realistic recreation of what U.S. Airborne paratroopers felt on their historic D-Day mission. Three flights are set for Saturday, July 31 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., with a fourth available to meet extra demand. Seats are allocated on a first-come first-served basis. To book a flight, call 516-531-3950, visit the Museum’s gift shop or call 631-4542039, Wednesday through Sunday, 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. AAM’s Flight Experience is a one-ofa-kind immersive educational program, where reenactors take visitors up in our original WWII C-47 to give a sense of what U.S. 101st and 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers experienced on their incredible 1,200-plane D-Day assault. Reenactors are led by Robert Scarabino, noted WWII Living Historian who has organized AAM’s C-47 D-Day Living History Flight Experiences since the program’s inception in 2003. This unique experience includes: a mission briefing in the ready room; a chance to wear authentic military field jackets, helmets and gear; the actual sights and sounds as the C-47’s engines fire up and you’re off into the blue. See, hear and feel the crew operating their C-47 and paratroopers getting ready for battle; plus you’ll actually line up and attach your hook to the overhead static line. Don’t worry—no jumping is allowed.

WWII Participants

Three World War II veterans will attend the July 31 events. They’ll join the Airborne living historians in the “corral” and immerse themselves within the sequence of events, interacting with guests/passengers during intake and orientation, in the briefing room as our “paratroopers” march out to the C-47. They will also be available for photo-ops throughout the day. Airborne equipment and gear will be set up inside the corral for the veterans to reflect on with our guests/passengers.

Richard Heinl July 31 is an interactive event, allowing veterans to reflect and share WWII memories and experiences with all participants. This is a wonderful way to educate all ages about our Greatest Generation heroes and help carry their legacy forward. Long Island members of the “Greatest Generation” are: Gene Leavy—Born Nov. 26, 1925 (95 years old) in Brooklyn, raised in Queens and resides in East Northport. He enlisted in September of 1943 into the U.S. Army at age 18. Leavy was trained to be a specialist for the Infantry and the invasion of Europe. He served in Company I of the 100th Infantry Division of the 398th Regiment, which entered Europe in September of 1944 and defended the Village of Bitche in the Battle of the Bulge. Sergeant Leavy lost his best friend and another buddy was killed by mortar fire. After WWII ended, he served in the American Military Government of Germany, where he interviewed prisoners for intelligence purposes. Joseph Salvatore Randazzo—Born June 6, 1926 (95 years old) in Brooklyn and resides in West Babylon. Randazzo served in Company G of the 75th

Gene Leavy Infantry Division of the 291st Regiment. He enlisted in the U.S. Army’s 75th Infantry Division on his 18th birthday, June 6, 1944, which was also D-Day. He received the Bronze Star for serving in three combat zones: Rhineland, Central Europe and The Battle of the Bulge (where 48 members of his 75th Infantry Division were killed in action). On April 7, 1945, Randazzo was shot through the leg for which he received the Purple Heart. His rank was PFC. Dr. Richard Heinl—Born Oct. 24, 1924 (96 years old), Dr. Heinl was a pre-med college student when he was drafted in 1943. He served in the U.S. Army 94th Infantry Division of the 376th Regiment. His division endured 209 days in combat; 195 of those days were consecutive. The 94th was part of General George Patton’s Third Army. He received a Combat Infantry Badge and was awarded two Bronze Stars for valor in combat. After the war, he became an orthodontist, raised three children, has six grandchildren and resides in Syosset.

More Information

The cost of the C-47 flight is $350.

Joseph Randazzo This is a family-friendly experience for all ages. The program is about 1½ hours long and each flight takes 25 minutes. A flight experience entitles participants to bring an additional person who can visit the museum free of charge. Support our mission to honor veterans and U.S. aviation history by preserving the aircraft and their legacy for future generations. Residents may also wish to visit AAM on July 31 just to watch the flights and tour the museum. In that case, admission for adults is $15, seniors and veterans $10 and children 5-12 $8. No tickets or pre-registration is necessary for museum admission. The museum is located on the landmarked former site of Republic Aviation at Republic Airport, Farmingdale. It maintains a collection of aviation artifacts and an array of aircraft spanning the many years of the aircraft factory’s history. It is located at Hangar 3, 1230 New Highway, Farmingdale.

FROM THE COUNTY SEAT

Legislature Claims Mansion Owners Pay No Property Taxes While 65 Percent Of Homeowners Pay Reassessment Tax Hikes

assau Legislature Presiding Officer Rich Nicolello last week demanded answers from County Executive Laura Curran for a collection of mansions in the County, whose owners have been billed zero in property taxes for the 2020-21 tax year under her administration’s signature reassessment project. Nicolello, joined by members of the Majority Legislative delegation, expressed outrage at the inequity of uber-wealthy homeowners paying zero property taxes on their multi-million-dollar estates. One home on display in Point Lookout was the subject of $31,018 in taxes for the 2019-20 tax year, but in the first tax year under the county executive’s reassessment, the home’s owner is now slated to pay no property taxes whatsoever in the 2020-21 tax year. The home has an assessed value of $4,012,000. A waterfront estate in Kings Point, which is valued at $3,757,000, featured taxes of more than $21,000 in the year before the county executive’s reassessment kicked in, but is now the subject of zero property taxes in the first tax year under the new reassessment. A Lattingtown home with a value of $2,595,000 had a tax bill of more than $26,000 prior to reassessment; however, its owner will now pay no property taxes at all. The owner of a home in the exclusive community

(Contributed photo) of Centre Island that is valued at $3,785,000 will also pay no property taxes for the 2020-21 tax year. Finally, the owner of an Atlantic Beach home who was billed $24,366 for the 2019-20 tax year will enjoy a tax-free year for the 2020-21 year. “The Majority has identified examples of gross inequities in which mansions are vastly undertaxed, some of which pay zero in property taxes,” Nicolello said. “Other properties of

the very wealthy have seen tax savings in the tens of thousands of dollars. We have also identified identical homes sitting side by side with vastly different tax bills. We are demanding that the county executive perform a comprehensive review to identify all the inequities and to fix the problem. Nassau residents deserve better.” Nicolello and his Majority delegation pointed out what they consider other startling inequities that have

resulted from the county executive’s reassessment. The officials pointed out a breathtaking mansion in Hewlett Harbor that was the subject of almost $93,000 in property taxes before the County Executive’s reassessment. The massive home’s owner will pay only $18,310 in the first tax year of the Nassau administration’s reassessment. That is almost an 80 percent tax reduction. Another Kings Point manse valued at more than $25 million will see its taxes reduced from a pre-reassessment tax bite of $145,512 to a paltry $24,830. Finally, a Sands Point estate will witness its owner paying only $1,224 in taxes under the county executive’s reassessment. Prior to the administration’s error-riddled reassessment, the house’s owner remitted $88,727 in property taxes last year. “This is disgraceful, and it points out what the Republican conference of the Legislature has been saying all along,” Legislator Bill Gaylor stated. “The Nassau County executive’s reassessment is patently unfair. What’s more, it is a backdoor tax increase for the hard-working homeowners who are picking up the tab for super wealthy homeowners who are paying no property taxes on their mansions because of Laura Curran’s reassessment. Taxpayers need and deserve answers.” —Submitted by the office of Richard Nicolello

Los Angeles Follows Nassau’s Lead To Reduce Racial Disparities In Foster Care Removals Nassau County Executive Laura Curran recently praised Los Angeles County after the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted to support a pilot project that tests “blind removal,” a foster care removal process first pioneered in Nassau County. Los Angeles is home to America’s largest child welfare system and joins several counties in following Nassau’s lead. Under Blind Removal Meetings in Nassau County, when Child Protective Services (CPS) is considering removing a child from their home, CPS will delete all names,

ethnicity, neighborhood, race and any other identifiable information from the documents. Instead, staff attending the blind removal meetings focus on what happened, relevant family history, and parents’ ability to protect and care for the child. The goal of this approach is to create better outcomes for children and to decrease the overall number of children removed from homes by diminishing racial and class bias. After seven years of implementation, minority children being removed from homes decreased

from 57 percent to 21 percent. The county has led several trainings for Social Services workers across the state to train them on the Blind Removal Meeting process. “I’m proud that our work in Nassau County is helping improve outcomes for the many youngsters in the child welfare system across our country,” Curran said. “We will continue to pursue innovative solutions that make Nassau a better and fairer place for all our residents.” In 2019, Curran recognized Maria Lauria, director of the Nassau County Department of Social Services (DSS)

Foster Care program for pioneering the practice of “Blind Removal.” Lauria, who is from Farmingdale and has worked at DSS for 30 years, was awarded Social Worker of the Year by the New York Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers in 2019. Professor Jessica Pryce, director of the Florida Institute for Child Welfare at Florida State University, led a TED Talk on Nassau’s Blind Removal Meetings garnering more than 1.3 million online views. —Submitted by the office of County Executive Laura Curran

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ENOUGH IS ENOUGH There has been much discussion regarding the PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) being proposed to the Glen Cove IDA on behalf of the Livingston/Villas Project. Based on my notes, here is a synopsis of my address to the IDA Board at this past week’s public hearing. As most know, in March 2020, when the Livingston Project proposal was presented to the City Council, I voted against sending it to the Planning Board. At that time, the proposal included, among other things, an increase in density from 176 units to 216 units. Especially with so much other development already in the mix, I strongly opposed the additional units. I appreciated the

presentation from Kathleen Deegan-Dickson, attorney for Livingston Project. Thanks to pushback from some elected officials, and at the urging of residents, the proposed project has been restored to 176 units. This, I feel, is a step in the right direction. Also as noted, Livingston has committed to using local union labor and prevailing wages. This is absolutely a step in the right direction. With these things being the case, and given that Livingston has gone through the proper channels in securing the right to build the project, and additionally given that I am tired of our gateway to the city being a hole in the ground, I am hopeful that the project, as outlined, will move forward.

However, I have two concerns. First, to date, Livingston has not been a good neighbor. While they were quick to highlight the narrative of ridding our city of blight—and I am not suggesting that substandard apartments or poorly maintained living conditions were something to be proud of as a city—the approach to that narrative was insulting to the people who had businesses on the property and to those who called the apartments home. Also, Livingston has failed to maintain the property since demolishing the homes and buildings on the property. The weeds are higher than the fence. If the project moves forward, the culture of

neglect has to change. My hope is that the developer will make better choices but, if the past is any indication, it will take strong enforcement of policies and laws as the project takes shape. My second concern is that while I support the project moving forward, I absolutely do not support it moving forward on the backs of our taxpayers. It is irresponsible to further endanger the fiscal health of the City of Glen Cove by granting unwarranted tax breaks to this developer. Again, just as I said in March of last year, enough is enough. I strongly urge you not to support the proposed PILOT. —Gaitley Stevenson-Mathews Glen Cove City Councilman

WAKE UP AND GET VACCINATED If you are vaccinated already, that’s great news. If you are not vaccinated, wake up. For your own sake, for the sake of your family, for the sake of your fellow human beings, for the sake of the economy, for the sake of the country, for the sake of the world...get vaccinated. Now is not the time for complacency. For many of us

who have been vaccinated, life is getting back to normal. We are unmasking, getting back to work, eating out, gathering with friends and family, enjoying our summer, and more. But we are not out of the woods. Daily cases, mostly attributed to the more contagious Delta variant, are on the rise. Over this past weekend, more than

1,000 New Yorkers tested positive for coronavirus, with nearly 200 new cases confirmed in Nassau and Suffolk counties. These are the highest daily spikes since May. If any semblance of real normalcy is going to stick and take hold, it is going to take all of us rolling up our sleeves and getting

Regarding The Opioid Settlements Nassau County recently settled lawsuits against a number of opioid manufacturers and pharmacies during the trial of a class action lawsuit in federal court in Central Islip. While there remain four defendants and the trial is continuing, the settlements will result in payments of approximately $87 million to Nassau County. Nassau County joined with New York State and Suffolk County during the prior administration to bring the actions against manufacturers, distributors and pharmacies seeking to recover for the untold damage resulting from the opioid pandemic. Significantly, I along with the Legislative Majority have introduced legislation to create a special revenue fund to make sure every

Unfortunately, during the pandemic opioid abuse has increased, including, tragically, overdose deaths. Obtaining these settlements and ensuring that these monies are fully dedicated towards fighting the opioid epidemic will go a long way toward winning this battle. —Nicolello is the presiding officer of the Nassau County Legislature.

Appreciate Yourself Appreciate Others Do you sometimes feel unappreciated? How often do we hear the complaint that people don’t feel appreciated enough, or worse, they don’t feel appreciated at all? It is basic human nature to want to feel acknowledged and grateful for a job well done, for our efforts, our time, our talents, our skills. A simple “thank you” goes a long way. Sometimes, in our personal life, we may feel unappreciated by our own family members. Even friends and acquaintances sometimes seem to take our friendship for granted. Often, we see a lack of acknowledgment in our business lives from bosses and co-workers. Sometimes it is even a fair and generous boss who is not appreciated by his or her employees. The same can be said about people who dedicate themselves to a particular organization, like a political cause or a humanitarian project. Too many give their time, their finances and their support to causes they believe are important, only to be disappointed by the lack of “thank you” and acknowledgments. Devoted employees, who often at the expense of precious family time, find

appreciation and treated royally. Once life was going well, Pharaoh seemed to develop a sense of amnesia about Joseph’s contribution on behalf of the community. Gone were the “thank you” and other tokens of appreciation. It makes no sense. This psychopathology—passive aggressive, schizophrenia, split personality, call it what you want—it was a total reversal and it was wicked. A real Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde scenario. So, how should we handle this in a practical matter? The best remedy is the little voice in our head that says, “Do the right thing! Do what our Heavenly Father expects from you.” Even if there is someone’s voice in our mind instructing us to that a promotion or bonus for do otherwise, we should hard work, never materializes. not listen, and not stop helping others or lose faith Our elders expound on this theme saying, “When the in humanity, just because we did not receive immediate wicked are in trouble, they appreciation. are submissive, but when It is important to look at their trouble is ended, they the bigger picture, the future return to their wicked ways.” This is exactly what happened results of maintaining our “do the right thing” attitude instead between the Biblical Joseph and Pharaoh.

good and pure virtues which are the pillars of existence. It requires wisdom, truth, faith and patience. Perspective has its advantages. Keeping one’s perspective on the bigger world prevents the disease known as “small mindedness.” Always try to be the best person you can, serve those around you with all your heart and soul, and all your resources. Do what you do with a full heart, and do not do unto others what is hateful to you. If you receive the appreciation you deserve, well that is wonderful. However, if you don’t, then pat yourself on the back and learn to appreciate yourself. Give yourself positive feedback and respect. Don’t make decisions only because of applause or

overt reward. Be part of the community. Help your community and stay involved. Follow the paths of peace. Let us be wise, brave and enthusiastic about our time on this earth. Let us make a wonderful difference and let us always strive to show others appreciation and spread the message of “thank you.” Let us remember, that G-d, the Creator of the universe, watches all our deeds and we should pursue our daily actions for the sake of heaven. So, appreciate yourself. Be your biggest fan. Stay humble because you were created by G-d to do good. If you want more appreciation, start by showing others more appreciation.

The Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library invites residents to view a historic photograph exhibit entitled “Plainview & Old Bethpage: At Home,” culled from the vast array of photos in the library’s archive. The display will be in the library’s main lobby and reading room through September. The exhibit explores Home Life in Plainview-Old Bethpage from the 1890s through the 1960s, recalling how a society of farmers and tradesmen evolved into the bustling suburban community it is today. The theme of the project, organized and executed by local history librarian Megan Murphy and librarian trainee Alexandra Deutsch, rose from the depths of the 2020 COVID pandemic, which forced so many to shelter in their homes. Suddenly a home took on a new meaning—no longer just a safe and secure structure, but a hub of entertainment, recreation and social interaction. The photos depict some of the very first homes built in the area and leads to the post-World War II building boom with its distinct Levitt-style design.

After viewing the exhibit, learn more about historic Plainview as local author and historian Thomas Carr presents a fascinating lecture at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 17 in the library’s auditorium. —Submitted by the PlainviewOld Bethpage Public Library

Created in April 2020 as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES), the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) is a federally funded $953-billion business loan program created to help certain businesses, self-employed workers, sole proprietors and certain nonprofit organizations continue paying their workers. The loans are forgivable if borrowers meet certain criteria, including spending at least 60 percent of the money on payroll costs and maintaining employee compensation levels. The program recently ended after being extended through 2021.

According to the Small Business Adminstration (SBA), a number of Hicksville businesses were among the 415,741 PPP loans that had an overall amount of $22,734,700,124 approved in New York in 2021. Among the Hicksville businesses that received PPP help are the Sam Ash Corporation, L&L Painting Co. Inc.

Remembering

Kenneth Greenwald

one year later...

Kenneth David Greenwald was a loving and wonderful partner to Rachel; father to Joshua, Daniel, and Rebecca; and grandfather to Skylar and Emma. He was also a brother, friend, colleague and much more. He combined his passion for creativity with technology as a graphic designer professionally and also in his free time; he was an avid gardener who surrounded himself with green; a master of the grill; and a lover of antique clocks. Ken grew up in Herricks, Long Island with his family and often returned to his neighborhood spot Eddies for his favorite pizza. In his youth he was a rocker, playing drums in the 1960s in the garage-rock band The Yellow Jackets and psychedelic group The Music Box. He DJ’d and ran psychedelic light shows in NYC and upstate NY, and spoke nostalgically of the many famous bands he traveled miles to see as opening acts in little venues before they were big. He attended SUNY Cortland where he studied Early Education and Mathematics and met Rachel, as well as many lifelong friends.

Mary Agnes Mannix Mary Agnes Mannix (nee O’Brien), 98, passed away peacefully at her home in Manhasset with family at her side, of complications of colon cancer. Mary was a beloved matriarchal figure to both the Mannix and O’Brien clans. Adored wife of the late William P. Mannix, cherished mother of Robert, Judith (John Koot), Brian (Susan Dudley), Paul (Rachelle Raphael) and Eileen; GrandMary to Jennifer, Katherine, Gregory and Christopher; GreatGrandmother to Owen and Noah; devoted Godmother to Denis, Mary, Virginia, Kevin, Ginny and Steven; loving big sister to Francis and the late Jack and Gene O’Brien; doting aunt, great aunt, cousin and devoted friend to so many. Mary was born in Manhattan to John T. and Anna Dooley O’Brien, but grew up in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, moving to Flatbush to raise her own children, and then to Manhasset when the fifth and youngest went off to college in 1975. She attributed her longevity to love, laughter, and the limber legs of the professional dancer she was in her youth: before the Rockettes, the famous New York-based chorus line was known as the Roxyettes, for the Roxy theater where they performed when not touring from the Baltimore Hippodrome to the Toronto Expo; going on the road at 16, accompanied by a chaperone, Mom would remain in show business until connecting with her future husband through USO performances when he was serving in the Army during WWII. They took advantage of his weekend pass to marry on 11/19/44 at St. Charles Borromeo Church in Brooklyn Heights, after which she could claim: “I left the stage to marry your father!”; just one of the numerous sacrifices she would make for her family. Staying home to raise her children as well as care for her own aging parents who lived upstairs in the two-family house, Mary returned to the workforce as Guidance Secretary at Xaverian High School, also chauffeuring the two of her sons who went there. She still found time to be a very active member of St. Vincent Ferrer Church, keeping up her dance skills by serving as choreographer and teacher for many a parish variety show and children’s play, as well as enhancing many musical occasions with her beautiful singing voice. Summers meant packing everyone up to head north – to Quebec, to Potsdam, to Canton – followed by years of daily trips to the cabana at Breezy Point. It was very important to her, though, to complete her own education, and she did so in 1983 (at age 60!) with an earned baccalaureate from SUNY Empire State College; studying Genetics during the same semester as her youngest child, they did their homework together that Thanksgiving. Following her teacher husband to the NYC Board of Education, Mary capped her career with a position as Principal’s Secretary, retiring from Francis Lewis High School at the age of 74. Her almost quarter-century of retired life, diminished only recently by the constraints of the pandemic, was spent on travels to and with family (Paris, Italy, Egypt, the Mediterranean, Scandinavia, China, Ireland…), activities through St. Mary’s Parish (Rosary Society, F.O.C.U.S.), musical and theatrical outings, and many, many enjoyable hands of bridge with her dear friends, the great ladies of Manhasset and environs. A woman of great faith, with a special devotion to the Blessed Mother, the Catholic Faith Network had become her virtual parish home as her mobility became limited. Always an avid reader, Mary conveyed her love of language to her children, as well as her love of travel ‘to faraway places with strangesounding names’. Though a great fan of the work of Robert Frost, whose poems she recited by memory nightly with her daughter during the pandemic, it is a poem by C.P. Cavafy - “The Road to Ithaca” - that was the most meaningful and evocative source of inspiration and imagination throughout her long life. The poet exhorts the reader to “pray that the road is long, full of adventure, full of knowledge”, and “that the sunny mornings are many”, with visits to “Egyptian cities, to learn and learn from scholars”, and then, “wise as you will have become…so full of experiences”, “to anchor at the island when you are old, rich with all that you have gained along the way.” Mary appreciated her long road, full of adventure, her sunny mornings, which she made sunnier for all who knew her, and was indeed rich in wisdom and experience. Her road, by all measures, was long, but never long enough for those who loved her and will miss her dearly. The family suggests that memorial contributions, if desired, can be made to The Catholic Faith Network (www.catholicfaithnetwork.org) or to St. Francis Hospital Foundation (Office of Development, 100 Port Washington Blvd., Roslyn, NY 11576 225973 M

SNAP/TANF/FDPIR Households: Households that currently include children who receive the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) but who are not found during the Direct Certification Matching Process (DCMP), or households that currently receive Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), or the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) must complete an application listing the child’s name, a valid SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR case number and the signature of an adult household member. Eligibility for free meal benefits based on participation in SNAP, TANF or FDPIR is extended to all children in the household. When known to the School Food Authority, households will be notified of their children’s eligibility for free meals based on their participation in the SNAP, TANF or the FDPIR programs. No application is necessary if the household was notified by the SFA their children have been directly certified. If the household is not sure if their children have been directly certified, the household should contact the school. Other Source Categorical Eligibility: When known to the School Food Authority, households will be notified of any child’s eligibility for free meals based on the individual child’s designation as Other Source Categorically Eligible, as defined by law. Children are determined Other Source Categorically Eligible if they are Homeless, Migrant, Runaway, A foster child, or Enrolled in Head Start or an eligible pre-kindergarten program. If children or households receive benefits under Assistance Programs or Other Source Categorically Eligible Programs and are not listed on the notice of eligibility and are not notified by the School Food Authority of their free meal benefits, the parent or guardian should contact the school or should submit an income application. Other Households: Households with income the same or below the amounts listed above for family size may be eligible for and are urged to apply for free and/ or reduced price meals (or free milk). They may do so by completing the application sent home with the letter to parents. One application for all children in the household should be submitted. Additional copies are available at the principal’s office in each school. Applications may be submitted any time during the school year to Karen Crenshaw, School Lunch Manager. Please contact Karen Crenshaw at (516) 434-2758 with any questions regarding the application process. Households notified of their children’s eligibility must contact the School Food Authority if they choose to decline the free meal benefits. Households may apply for benefits at any time throughout the school year. Children of parents or guardians who become unemployed or experience a financial hardship mid-year may become eligible for free and reduced price meals or free milk at any point during the school year. For up to 30 operating days into the new school year (or until a new eligibility determination is made, whichever comes first) an individual child’s free or reduced price eligibility status from the previous year will continue within the same SFA. When the carryover period ends, unless the household is notified that their children are directly certified or the household submits an application that is approved, the children’s meals must be claimed at the paid rate. Though encouraged to do so, the SFA is not required to send a reminder or a notice of expired eligibility. The information provided on the application will be confidential and will be used for determining eligibility. The names and eligibility status of participants may also be used for the allocation of funds to federal education programs such as Title I and National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), State health or State education programs, provided the State agency or local education agency administers the programs, and for federal, State or local means-tested nutrition programs with eligibility standards comparable to the NSLP. Eligibility information may also be released to programs authorized under the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) or the Child Nutrition Act (CNA). The release of information to any program or entity not specifically authorized by the NSLA will require a written consent statement from the parent or guardian. The School Food Authority does, however, have the right to verify at any time during the school year the information on the application. If a parent does not give the school this information, the child/children will no longer be able to receive free or reduced price meals (free milk). Foster children are eligible for free meal benefits. A separate application for a foster child is no longer necessary. Foster children may be listed on the application as a member of the family where they reside. Applications must include the foster child’s name and personal use income. Under the provisions of the policy, the designated official will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the designated official, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing for a hearing to appeal the decision. (Title), whose address is ___________ has been designated as the Hearing Official. Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. However, prior to initiating the hearing procedure, the parent or School Food Authority may request a conference to provide an opportunity for the parent and official to discuss the situation, present information, and obtain an explanation of the data submitted in the application or the decisions rendered. The request for a conference shall not in any way prejudice or diminish the right to a fair hearing. Only complete applications can be approved. This includes complete and accurate information regarding: the SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR case number; the names of all household members; on an income application, the last four digits of the social security number of the person who signs the form or an indication that the adult does not have one, and the amount and source of income received by each household member. In addition, the parent or guardian must sign the application form, certifying the information is true and correct. Beginning July 1, 2019, students in New York State that are approved for reduced price meals will receive breakfast and lunch meals at no charge.

continued from page 42 become eligible for free and reduced price meals or free milk at any point during the school year. For up to 30 operating days into the new school year (or until a new eligibility determination is made, whichever comes first) an individual child’s free or reduced price eligibility status from the previous year will continue within the same SFA. When the carryover period ends, unless the household is notified that their children are directly certified or the household submits an application that is approved, the children’s meals must be claimed at the paid rate. Though encouraged to do so, the SFA is not required to send a reminder or a notice of expired eligibility. The information provided on the application will be confidential and will be used for determining eligibility. The names and eligibility status of participants may also be used for the allocation of funds to federal education programs such as Title I and National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), State health or State education programs, provided the State agency or local education agency administers the programs, and for federal, State or local means-tested nutrition programs with eligibility standards comparable to the NSLP. Eligibility information may also be released to programs authorized under the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) or the Child Nutrition Act (CNA). The release of information to any program or entity not specifically authorized by the NSLA will require a written consent statement from the parent or guardian. The School Food Authority does, however, have the right to verify at any time during the school year the information on the application. If a parent does not give the school this information, the child/children will no longer be able to receive free or reduced price meals (free milk). Foster children are eligible for free meal benefits. A separate application for a foster child is no longer necessary. Foster children may be listed on the application as a member of the family where they reside. Applications must include the foster child’s name and personal use income. Under the provisions of the policy, the designated official will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the designated official, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing for a hearing to appeal the decision. Victor P. Manuel, Assistant Superintendent for Business Affairs, whose address is 99 Cedar Swamp Road, Jericho, NY 11753 has been designated as the Hearing Official. Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. However, prior to initiating the hearing procedure, the parent or School Food Authority may request a conference to provide an opportunity for the parent and official to discuss the situation, present information, and obtain an explanation of the data submitted in the application or the decisions rendered. The request for a conference shall not in any way prejudice or diminish the right to a fair hearing. Only complete applications can be approved. This includes complete and accurate information regarding: the SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR case number; the names of all household members; on an income application, the last four digits of the social security number of the person who signs the form or an indication that the adult does not have one, and the amount and source of income received by each household member. In addition, the parent or guardian must sign the application form, certifying the information is true and correct. Beginning July 1, 2021, students in New York State that are approved for reduced price meals will receive lunch meals at no charge. Nondiscrimination Statement: This explains what to do if you believe you have been treated unfairly. In accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA. Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.), should contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for benefits. Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339. Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English. To file a program complaint of discrimination, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, (AD-3027) found online at: https://www.usda.gov/ oascr/how-to-file-a-program-discrimination-complaint and at any USDA office, or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter all of the information requested in the form.

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 25 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). On the bright side, your star positions bring a sense of hope. On the downside, there’s no guarantee as to what kind of hope this is. High hope? False hope? Reasonable hope? Even if things don’t turn out optimally, your experience will be more beautiful (and regret-free) because you believed in the good of others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The most exciting position possible is one of having nothing to lose. Without assets to protect, you can be bold. If you’re resistant to boldness, perhaps you are guarding something you did not realize was so important to you. The way to know the value of something is to understand what you’re willing to risk to have it.

Water safety Solution: 25 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though you share many commonalities with someone, your inside experience, and what it takes to fortify and balance you, may be as unique as different species of animals at the zoo. However interesting to you the habits of the creature in the next habitat may be, you will be better off honoring what feels right to you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your feelings will surprise you this week. Among the most loving things you can do is seek understanding. It won’t stop or change how you feel, but it will help you process your emotions and extract the useful fuel there so you can move gracefully through an experience. Touch and hold -- no clinging or cleaving.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You still haven’t got the thing you want. You’re not a quitter, so your first thought is to try harder -- which would be admirable enough. People would notice, and it would bring attention to your cause. More than attention, you want results! Ultimately, what gets the prize is not trying harder, but a different plan completely. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Anything you do in one relationship will somehow affect the other relationships; this is true whether or not your people know one another. The interconnectedness of your social web makes it both stronger and more tenuous. Your choices will be tempered by the realization that they can lift, or disrupt, an entire group. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You aren’t even aware of the many methods you employ to stay psychologically free. And for all the behaviors, habits and defenses that help you steer you clear of trouble and drama, you could still use a few more -- as this week will prove. You’ll pick up a new skill to clear an impediment to your purpose. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Success will be a matter of changing your mind. Surprisingly, many around you are too invested in being right to do the mental about-face that’s needed to evolve to higher problem-solving, better relationships and more joyful experiences. The willingness to be a fool is absolutely essential to ascended living. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are things that can happen at once and things that can’t. This week’s experience will be enhanced with your awareness of such opportunities and limitations. You’ll note how it is possible to feel joy and pain at once. You’ll also realize it is not possible to stay the same while rising to the occasion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Many activities (like taking a selfie or broadcasting your social life), which might have been considered self-indulgent in other times, are now accepted social norms, and yet they do not feel completely comfortable to you. Do you. You’re always most attractive when you’re in line with your own values. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have an agenda. Success absolutely depends on three missions. First, the quest for understanding. Second, the pursuit of greater understanding. Third, a drive toward deeper and wider understanding. Your level of achievement will correlate completely with your level of awareness.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Nothing is frivolous if you enjoy it. Own your delights. It’s your year to bring together two parts of your life and be mightier for the holistic approach. After some adjustments aimed at getting things just right, a new fitness routine and a different approach to eating will increase your physical vitality, as well as healing something outside of your physical realm of being. A spike in confidence puts you on a trajectory that ultimately will have you taking on a new role. COPYRIGHT 2021 CREATORS.COM

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You wonder if you have the tools necessary for your becoming. There will be a strong urge to buy something extra to help. This is unnecessary and maybe even detrimental, as it will distract from what you really require, which is simply time, focus and effort. You can upgrade the tools further down the line.

Herricks Alum Alex Katz Heads To Olympic Games

he Herricks Public Schools are proud to congratulate Class of 2012 graduate Alex Katz, who is heading to the Olympics to play baseball on Team Israel. Katz traveled to Tokyo on July 21 to live out a dream and take his already impressive athletic career to new heights. This is the first year that baseball has been included in the Olympic Games since 2008, and upon the announcement of its return, Katz recognized Team Israel’s potential for qualifying. “There’s no words to describe the feeling—it still hasn’t hit me yet,” Katz said. “I’m excited for the opening ceremonies and our first game, which will be against Korea.” Since he was first drafted in 2015,

Katz has played on teams for many different organizations including the Chicago White Sox, Baltimore Orioles, Kansas City Royals and Long Island Ducks. He currently plays with the Chicago Cubs and his team is based out of Tennessee. He started off 4-0 in the 2017 World Baseball Classic with Team Israel, which he describes as one of his greatest memories. During his Herricks High School years, Katz played on the Highlanders varsity baseball team and achieved many victories. He struck out 16 batters in one game and 15 in another while taking on top competitors. Following his graduation, he went on to play for St. John’s University. —Submitted by Herricks Public Schools

Massapequa Wrestling Continues To Flourish With a motto of “Adapt, Overcome,” Massapequa High School’s wrestling team had a successful season, navigating through the challenges of the pandemic and winning the 2021 Nassau County Dual championship following an undefeated season. And their work isn’t stopping for the summer. Seniors Dominick Casamassina, Chase Liardi and Daniel O’Callaghan were All-County selections as well as scholar-athletes. Coach Ronnie Serrano said the three set the example for the rest of the team during a shortened season with many safety protocols in place designed to keep everyone healthy and safe. Each wrestler was assigned one partner to work out with for the duration of the season, reducing contact and minimizing the chance for COVID-19 to spread. “The fact that we were able to wrestle this year was a true blessing,” O’Callaghan said. “In a time where we thought we would never get a chance to wrestle again for Massapequa, it was a complete change of mood when we found out we were having a season. Everyone on our team made sacrifices to ensure that our season would not get shut down for any COVID-19 related reasons. All my teammates came to practice every day and wrestled as hard as they could, even with masks on, to make the most out of our shortened season.” Casamassina stated that the dedication of the entire team and coaching

staff is why the Chiefs were again at the top of the list among Nassau County wrestling teams. “Being able to wrestle this year was truly amazing and I’m so glad I got to go to battle with the Massapequa Chiefs one last season,” he said. “We all had a goal that we had been thinking about since the end of last year and the whole team was locked in.” Liardi, whom Serrano described as “one of the best wrestlers I have seen come through the program,” committed to the wrestling team at Ohio State University. This summer, several coaches and wrestlers from Massapequa will visit Liardi and Ohio State’s program. They will receive a tour of the campus and athletic

facilities, take part in a wrestling camp and do some sightseeing. The trip was partially supported by Friends of Massapequa Wrestling, an alumni association that runs a wrestling youth program attended annually by about 200 local children and teenagers. Serrano said he wants his wrestlers to understand the value of a college education and get them thinking about their post-high school plans. “Wrestling will go away, but your college degree and what you do for a living won’t,” he said. Serrano and his assistants are in the running for the national coaching staff of the year award in wrestling from the National Federation of State

High School Associations. As New York State’s winners, they advanced the national competition, with the winning coaching staff to be announced in September. “Through the help and guidance of our entire coaching staff, we were able to make a season with a disappointing outlook into one of our best,” O’Callaghan said. Going into the 2021-22 season, Serrano said the team has the ability to win another county championship. Stepping into senior leadership roles in the coming year will be Carlos Arango, Anthony Conetta, Tom DiGennaro and Jacob Menichini. —Submitted by the Massapequa School District
