Music To Military Showing musical talent early on, a teenage Finz made the two-hour daily journey from Brooklyn (where his family moved) to the High School of Music & Art in upper Manhattan, where he had applied and been accepted. The school has now relocated to Lincoln Center and merged with the School for Performing Arts and is known as the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. “I had a full music program of three hours of music a day plus a full academic program,” he related. “But with it all, it was one of the greatest experiences of my life, really.” The gifted youth studied the saxophone and clarinet and according to his law firm bio became first clarinetist in the highly touted school symphony orchestra and leader of its jazz band, Not long after he turned 18, in August of 1942, he was drafted into the U.S. Army as the country was now fully engaged in the global“Afterconflict.basictraining, they heard that I had some kind of talent and some kind see LEONARD FINZ on

Near-Centenarian Still Keeping Active

Brooks, chair of the Senate’s Veterans Committee, said, “As a young man, 2nd Lt. Leonard Finz led his artillery battery into combat to serve and protect his nation. Today we have the honor to recognize Judge Leonard Finz for a lifetime of devoted service. He is an icon of his generation and a role model for others to follow.” In his remarks at the ceremony, Brooks added, “When you look back at where we were, where the world was before the U.S. got into the war, the future was questionable. His generation stepped forward. An army that almost did not exist was made into an army that saved the world. And when they came back, they rebuilt our nation. They created something called Levittown—I’m sure you’re familiar with it.” Finz, sitting nearby, and others laughed appreciatively.

—AssemblywomanGinaSillitti

On July 23, in Manhasset’s Gracewood Mansion, Leonard Finz was officially inducted into the U.S. Army Officer Candidate School (OCS) Hall of Fame. A two-star major general was present, and a colonel presided over the ceremony, closing the circle on a military career that began more than 80 years before. Finz, then a few weeks shy of 98, joined such HOF inductees as former Senator Robert Dole, Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and General Tommy Franks, commander of the United States Central Command and overseer of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. In other words, he’s in fairly elite company. Not bad for a son of Jewish immigrants born on the lower East Side of Manhattan. But in his achievements, the still active attorney has plenty of company as a cohort of the so-called “Greatest Generation.” “Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are in [the Hall of Fame],” Finz told the Manhasset Press. “Those who received the Congressional Medal of Honor and a host of other big names, four-star generals, commanding officers. It was a tremendous, tremendous honor. And it was just an enormous event and a beautiful one. We had Major General [John F. Hussey of the Army Reserves] and Colonel [Pedro L. Rosario III, commanding officer, 6th Brigade, Fort Totten, NY]. We had a United States military band. We had a choir. We had the colors. We had the honor guards. It was just a fabulous, fabulous event.” It was not the first time Finz earned military plaudits. In 2004, in a ceremony held at the World War II Memorial in Washington, and at the orders of Secretary of the Army Les Brownlee, Finz received his long overdue Army Commendation Medal for Meritorious and Outstanding service. He had served with the 27th Division as a field artillery officer in the Pacific theater. The HOF induction was attended by New York State Senators John Brooks (D–Seaford) and Anna Kaplan (D–North Hills), and Assemblywoman Gina Sillitti (D–Port Washington) . In a press release, it was noted that the “Officer Candidate School, located at Fort Benning, GA, trains, assesses, and evaluates potential commissioned officers of the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserve, and Army National Guard. Annual inductions into the OCS Hall of Fame are based on accomplishments that include superior valorous combat leadership, superior meritorious service, as well as public- and life-long service to their community and nation.”

The long, eventful, honored life of Manhasset’s Leonard Finz FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

Kaplan said, “I’m privileged to meet a lot of dedicated and accomplished individuals from across the state, but few rise to the level of dedication and accomplishment of the Honorable Leonard Finz, who answered the call to serve our great nation during WWII and went on to a have a long and proud career of superior service to our community.”Sillitti said, “I can think of no one who deserves this honor more than the Honorable Leonard Finz as the living embodiment of the Greatest Generation. His induction into the [HOF} is yet another testament to his outstanding character. It was truly my honor to have had the opportunity to get to know Judge Finz and seeing the community come out so strongly to attend his induction ceremony is just a small example of his legacy and the high regard in which his friends, family, and the community holds him in.”

Leonard Finz, known by the honorific “Judge,” never misses a Manhasset Memorial Day parade. He stood at attention while the American Legion conducted its ceremony at Mary Jane Davies Park this past May. (Photo by Frank Rizzo) Finz, seated, gestures as Senator John Brooks stands at the podium. (Office of Senator John Brooks) I can think of no one who deserves this honor more than the Honorable Leonard Finz as the living embodiment of the Greatest Generation.

In addition, according to his law firm biography, during the 2004 ceremony in Washington, “He was also presented with the American flag that was flown in his honor for one full day atop the Capitol of the United States, in addition to being pinned with a half-dozen other military medals. As further recognition of his extraordinary military service during WWII, Judge Finz has been honored by having his military biography filed as a permanent record with the United States Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., which has now been archived and enshrined there for eternity.”

Finz would have agreed with the late WWII veteran and author Paul Fussell, who titled one of his books Thank God for The Atom Bomb. There were plans readied for the invasion of the Japanese main islands, a titanic effort that would have dwarfed the invasion of Normandy in 1944. Estimates were that the Americans would suffer more than a million casualties. “I would have been right up front. I would have been in the first attack force,” Finz reflected. “The artillery was behind the infantry. I would have to pick up the targets and obviously, I [would be a big target].”

In 1965, Finz was elected as New York City Civil Court Judge—the youngest at the time—and later won an election to sit on the New York State Supreme Court. He shocked the judicial world in 1978, stepping down to become a partner at Julien, LEONARD FINZ from

It was a brutal four-month course that weeded out even the toughest of soldiers. He added, “And when the general put the gold bars on my shoulders, and I was commissioned a second lieutenant. it was the greatest day of my life—aside from my marriage (to the late Pearl for 68 years) and having kids and grandkids.”

Law Without Degree

Finz served as emcee, and JFK was expected at 7:30 p.m. More than two hours later, the candidate finally showed up. “So for two and a half hours. I’m singing, telling jokes, performing speeches, I’m doing whatever I can,” Finz related. “And then suddenly, I get the word, ‘He’s here.’ I get to the [offstage area] and John F. Kennedy looks at me, puts out his hand, and the first thing he says is, ‘Where’s the john?’ And I say, ‘Just follow me.’ A couple of [security people] cleared the bathroom out. We go in, just he and I, next to each other at the urinals. I could see that picture right now. It was really something.”

From his bio: “Trained in beach landings, he boarded a troop ship heading for Okinawa and assigned to the first wave attack force upon the Japanese mainland where 400,000 Japanese were dug-in with Kamikaze aircraft support. Within days of the planned U.S. attack, atomic bombs were dropped and Japan surrendered.”

It was for such service that Finz earned the Army Commendation Medal he was to receive decades later. Finz, discharged in 1946 as a 1st Lt., then took advantage of the GI Bill and entered New York University and earned a BA and later, a law degree. He met Pearl at NYU and the couple married in 1948. He was also elected president of the law school student body, and passed the state bar exam in 1951. His Music Career Entertainment still beckoned, however, and he joined the local Associated Musicians of Greater New York (now part of the American Federation of Musicians Local 802). Coincidentally, he found a band that was seeking a saxophone player who could sing. In an interview, Finz noted that he was playing five club nights a week under the stage name “Lennie Forrest” He met the legendary Al Jolson, best known for the first “talkie,” 1927’s The Jazz Singer. The crooner/actor reportedly complimented Finz after seeing him perform in Milwaukee. Finz was among those who sang tributes at Jolson’s memorial service, held in Madison Square Garden in 1950. In those post-war years, he told an interviewer, Billboard Magazine once yoked Lennie Forrest and future star Steve Lawrence (forever paired with wife Eydie Gormé) as “Singers of the Future.” Finz was signed as a singer and songwriter by Music Corporation of America (MCA), then the largest theatrical agency in the world, headed by the legendary Lew Wasserman. It was the forerunner of Universal and Comcast. According to his bio, “He recorded many songs...some recordings of which were charted by Billboard and Cash Box critics as ‘picks,’ thus propelling him on a national tour to many TV, radio, and nightclub venues throughout the United States, where he also performed with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. In addition, Judge Finz audi tioned for the lead Hollywood role in the 1952 remake of The Jazz Singer, which came down to two choices, Danny Thomas and Lennie Forrest. Thomas ultimately got the role. Judge Finz was also cast on the NBC soap opera, Another World.” Law & Politics After returning to practicing law later in the 1950s, and then living in Little Neck, Finz followed his interest in politics started when he served as forum director of the NYU Democratic Club. According to his bio, “[He] ran for the New York State Senate, United States Congress and was appointed Queens County campaign chairman for John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson and others.”

He was then assigned to Philippines, and one day was called in by his commanding officer, a colonel. More than 50 American troops were languishing in the stockade for various crimes, waiting for their court martials, the officer told Finz. There was only one Judge Advocate General (JAG) lawyer on the island, and he had to serve as a prosecutor. Finz only had a high school education. But as is the military way, the colonel must have seen something in the young 2nd Lt, and assigned him to the JAG (made up of licensed lawyers) with the title of “defense counsel.” By military law, the defense counsel had to be an officer. From his bio: “Despite informing his commanding officer that he never went beyond high school, the commanding officer pressed that he observed how Finz interacted with others, that he read his personnel file, stressing he could do the job ‘since you’re a damn good officer.’”

Finz began reading manuals to learn military justice procedures.Itwasatedious and dangerous assignment. He had to gather evidence and track down witnesses. Japanese soldiers were still in the area, continuing to fight a war they did not know hadAsended.hisbio put it, “Finz would have to snake through jungle areas to locate witnesses in remote villages while driving in an open jeep armed only with a .45 caliber sidearm.” “Within six months [he] defended every accused GI successfully,” the bio continued. “Further, archive research establishes that he was the only one out of 16 million Americans in uniform during WWII to have ever been assigned to JAG as defense counsel with only a high school diploma.”

page 11

Finz told the Manhasset Press that he was invited to the White House by JFK, and remembered sitting in front of The Resolute desk under which “little John John [would play] and we would sit down and speak about world issues, et cetera, et cetera. Somehow he talked to me. I don’t know why or how, but I guess he felt that I was a WWII veteran and he was a WWII veteran. We had something in common. And it was one of the greatest situations I ever really [experienced].”Hewastasked with preparing for a 1960 campaign appearance by the then senator in Queens, and chose the largest venue in the county, the 5,000-seat Sunnyside Gardens, noted for its boxing matches. He added extra speakers outside, knowing the arena could not hold all wishing to see the popular candidate.

Soon, he was transferred into an Army military band as a clarinetist and as a saxophone player, entertaining the troops. According to his law firm bio, an article in the military press labeled him as “Born of Talent.”“And I was with them for more than a year or so. But then, frankly, [I did not want to say] how I spent the war, playing saxophone and clarinet while there were real soldiers dying on the battlefield,” Finz affirmed. “And so I applied to Officer Candidate School, passed the requirements and was accepted. There were 100 who started at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in the field artillery. There were battle-tested sergeants from Europe, sergeants from the Pacific war zones, and I was just a clarinetist in the band. I was really a musician in a soldier’s uniform. That’s all. But out of the 100 who started, only 32 made the final grade. And I was one of them.”

T hough Pollinator Week—an annual celebration in support of pollinator health that was initiated by the Pollinator Partnership—has passed, North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena and the Town Board continue to encourage residents to raise their awareness for pollinators and spread the word about what we can do to protect them. The town has once again taken the Mayors’ Monarch Pledge with National Wildlife Federation and committed to actions such as creating pollinator gardens in town parks, encouraging residential native plant gardens through a native plant rebate program, public education, and participating in community science research projects focused on pollinators. One of the education programs has been the creation of a Pollinator Pledge, which allows any property owner (including residents, businesses, schools, non-profits, and places of worship) that maintains a landscape, to commit to practices that benefit pollinators and the environment. This includes reducing or eliminating pesticide use, planting native plants, and managing invasive species.

Robert Frost reading at the Kennedy inaugural Action Community Counseling

of being the nation’s first Irish Catholic president. For weeks afterward, Kennedy complained that Frost’s stunning performance upstaged his own “Ask not what your country can do for you,” stemwinder. Well, Mr. President, you did invite him. Up rose Frost to recite. He had com posed a poem, “For John F. Kennedy: His Inauguration.” He was 86. At that age, most men are dead, much less writing world-class poetry. The shining sun made it hard to read the lines. In addition, a strong wind threat ened to blow the pages off the podium. Vice President Richard Nixon, who had just lost an excruciating close election to Kennedy, tried to keep the pages in place. So too did Vice President-Elect Lyndon Johnson. Frost gave up. He ignored the text. Frost instead read, from memory, his 1942 classic, “The GiftInOutright.”theprocess, the world missed some thing priceless: Frost’s reading of “For John F. Kennedy.” 86 years old. And writing verse that a man half his age couldn’t touch. Was it a great poem? What is representative of Frost’s world view? Is it jingoistic? Or just heartfelt patriotism? What the poem did was capture the mood of a supremely confident America. It might not have been the real Robert Frost, but it overwhelms the reader. First, the triumph of the European empires: Colonial had been the thing to be As long as the great issue was to see What country’d be the one to dominate see ROBERT FROST on page 4

Robert Frost’s poetry reading at the 1961 presidential inauguration remains the stuff of legend. Universally recognized as the “Good Grey Poet,” Frost, for decades, had been a beloved figure in American culture. In 1960, his fellow New Englander, John F. Kennedy was elected president. The young president invited Frost to read at the inaugural. It would be the first time such an event had taken place. Kennedy was not a writer or even the great reader the media made him out to be. But he was a newspaperman at heart. That was his true calling. However, when his older brother Joe died in World War II, it was up to young Jack to shoulder the family burden JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

ROBERT FROST from page 2

Frost’s true vision came in focus as the poem was winding down. There is a call to life a little sterner And braver for the earner, learner, yearner. Less criticism of the field and court. And more preoccupation with the sport. That’s more like it. As with Theodore Roosevelt, Frost preferred the strenuous life. Breathing that brisk New England air for up to nine decades can keep a man young— young enough to write immortal poetry at age 86. Back now to the romantic Frost. It makes the prophet in us all presage The glory of a next Augustan age Of a power leading from its strength and Ofpride,young ambition to be tried, Firm in our beliefs without dismay, In any game the nations want to play. A golden age of poetry and power Of which this noonday’s the beginning hour. Can you blame Frost for writing such soaring verse? Again, consider America, circa 1961. Had the world seen such a nation? Its economic, military and cultural might was unparalleled. When writers like T.S. Eliot, William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway traveled the globe, they were treated like rock stars. The Beatles before The Beatles. Even the Roman Catholic Church felt the winds of change, abandoning its traditional Latin in the disastrous Vatican II council. The postwar boom roared on, fertility rates soared well past the replacement levels. The country had jobs that paid, complete with annual raises and Christmas bonuses. Numbers aside, January 1961 remained America the Innocent. Scholars would analyze the presidencies of Jefferson and Madison, but neither man was savaged as they are today. No wonder Americans, for the past three decades, have cried out to have “our country back.” Dies the history, dies the nation?“ForJohn F. Kennedy” may not be representative Robert Frost. His worldview was hardly romantic. It’s impossible to put down. The poem is an unforgettable hymn to a still-young nation at peak confidence.

Draft of “For John F. Kennedy: His Inauguration”

So much those heroes knew and understood, I mean the great four, Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, and Madison— So much they knew as consecrated seers They must have seen ahead what now appears, They would bring empires down about our ears And by example of our Declaration Make everybody want to be a nation. And this is no aristocratic joke At the expense of negligible folk America, 1961. How innocent the times were. Criticism of Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison was out of bounds. All four were revered, unconditionally, by the public. Only consider the dinner Kennedy held in 1962 for an eclectic collection of artists, musicians and writers. “There has never been so much talent in this room expect for the time when Thomas Jefferson dined alone,” the president boldly declared. Even Homer “Negligiblenodded.folk”represents the true Frost. The man was no aristocrat. He didn’t care at all for democracy either, but he was Jeffersonian in his love for the plain folk. Yes, how innocent. And how optimistic. Some poor fool has been saying in his heart Glory is out of date in life and art. Our venture in revolution and outlawry Has justified itself in freedom’s story Right down to now in glory upon glory. Come fresh from an election like the last, The greatest vote a people ever cast, So close yet sure to be abided by, It is no miracle our mood is high.

By character, by tongue, by native trait, The new world Christopher Columbus found. The French, the Spanish, and the Dutch were Anddownedcounted out. Heroic deeds were done. Elizabeth the First and England won. Then a celebration of American independence.

Governor Kathy Hochul recently said “The M.T.A. is the lifeblood. We will be focusing on ways to generate revenues with congestion pricing. That is back on track after a few hiccups with the federal government. We will have no fare increases planned, because we want people to come back to work.” (Source: Questions for New York’s Candidates for Governor, New York Times, Sunday, June 26) This did not tell the whole story. Congestion pricing continues to be politically sensitive. Final details of who will pay has yet to be determined by the MTA Traffic Mobility Review Board. One year after becoming governor, Hochul announced appointments to fill her five seats. This was made public at the July 27 MTA board meeting. They include Carl Weisbrod, a former city planning and economic development chief who will serve as chairman of the MTA TMRB. He currently is employed with the consultant firm HR&A Advisors. The other four appointees on the board are the former Real Estate Board of New York President John Banks, a past president of the New York Real Estate Board; Scott Rechler, Regional Plan Association chief and the head of developer RXR Realty; MTA Board Member Elizabeth Velez, a past chairperson of the New York Building Congress; and Kathryn Wylde, who heads the Partnership for New York City.

These discounts or exemptions will be adopted to placate their constituents when running for reelection in 2023 or 2024. More discounts translates to less revenues. Nobody can predict if anywhere near $1 billion in annual toll revenues will actually appear..TheMTA has scheduled virtual public hearings in August. For months, all of the MTA board and committee meetings held at MTA HQ in Manhattan have been in person. Why not the same for these public hearings? . In 2019, fare increases for the MTA NYC transit bus, subway and Staten Island Railway, along with Long Island and Metro North Rail Roads were part of the approval process for the $51 billion 2020-24 Five Year Capital Plan. Former Governor Andrew Cuomo, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, the State Legislature and City Council were all in on this financial arrangement. It included 4 percent increases in 2021 and 2023. Continuing to postpone fare increases will add to the MTA financial shortfall. Comptroller Tom DiNapoli just released a devastating report on MTA finances. Hochul never comments on the ongoing fare evasion averaging several hundred million per year. The loss of farebox revenue due to two million pre-COVID-19 riders failing to return also adversely impacts the MTA budget. The MTA’s own updated McKinley Consultants report indicated it will take many more years before ridership ever returns to pre-COVID-19 numbers.Hochul has ignored the impact of inflation on the MTA. The price of both gasoline and diesel fuel has doubled. The engineering cost estimates for capital construction projects will have to be reevaluated for procurement contracts that will be advertised over the next 29 months remaining in the MTA $51 billion 2020-24 Five Year Capital Plan. The same also applies for the purchase of materials for routine maintenance and state of good repair in house track, signal and other projects performed by MTA employees. Future purchases of buses, subway and commuter rail cars may cost more. Vendors who bid on MTA material purchases and capital projects will inevitably pass on their own increased costs for materials including delivery costsHow will Hochul assist the MTA in making up for billions in previously anticipated congestion price tolling that may not appear until 2024, along with previously scheduled fare increase revenues? Ditto for additional costs due to inflation, lost revenues due to ongoing fare evasion and upcoming union contracts? Labor will want salary increases that at a minimum keep pace with growing inflation.

COLUMNS SEE YOU AROUND THE TOWN Patty Servidio the cassette tape would become wrapped around the player heads and be destroyed. I fell in love with the series and every character therein.Aftera very long hiatus, the series returned for Season 3. The cast was clad in styles that I myself wore when Hubby and I frequented Sunrise Mall, back in the days when it was a hopping place. Although the clothing was kind of hideous, with day-glo colors and bold geometrics on pants and tops, I thought of it as the time when I could truly express myself. The cast, who were coming of age in Season 3, began to express themselves as well and we were glued to the TV until the season finale.Throughout the year, the Duffer Brothers, creators of Stranger Things, often bestowed small teaser-styled “gifts” to fans, such as information about the upcoming Season 4, the idea that the season would wrap the entire series, and occasional photos from the set. We watched the trailer of Season 4, continuously searching for any clues about the upcoming plot. When Season 4 was finally released, we were beyond thrilled to find out that the season was the penultimate and the Duffers had been green lit for Season 5. When our daughter found out that the se ries still had a bit more of the story to go, I received a text message all in caps: “THERE IS GOING TO BE A SEASON FIVE!!!” We weren’t the only ones who wereThroughoutthrilled. Season 4, Max, a character who joined the core cast in Season 2, was haunted by negative thoughts, among other things. Her weapon came in the form of a Walkman, which played Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” in one continuous loop to keep her mind protected. My daughter sent me a text that read, “I knew all the words to Max’s favorite song, because you played that song all the time in the car.” It was true, “Running Up That Hill” was one of my favorite songs off the The Whole Story album. During my days as a nursing student at SUNY Farmingdale, it was my go-to song that blasted on my Blaupunkt cassette radio on the way to campus. I related to the song in multiple ways, knew the words forward and backward, and at that time was able to reach all the high notes. When our daughter was younger, I played it often enough for her to sing along softly in the back seat of my car. As time went on, the days of cassette players had long passed, and my Kate Bush cassette sat in the attic collecting dust. Yet our daughter often sang along with the radio whenever the song was played. Now that Season 5 of Stranger Things is a go, I’m strongly considering breaking out that cassette again. I found an old stereo in the basement that can still play both vinyl records and cassette tapes. It might be time to play it again while I await the end of Elle, Mike, Will, Nancy, Steve, Robin, Jonathan, Lucas, Duncan and Max’s story. Truth be told, I hope Vecna, the villain of Season 4, meets his end in his inevitable face-off with Elle. The end of Season 4 leaves most of the cast standing on a hill. I hope Elle is running up it in victory at the end of the series. Patty Servidio is an Anton Media Group columnist.

Call me crazy, but I’m a die-hard Stranger Things fan. The Netflix hit series, which has a fan following in the millions, was first introduced to me by our daughter, who had binge-watched the entire first season, seven years ago. “You are going to LOVE it,” she assured us, but I was more than hesitant. A bit of a backstory: Our daughter absolutely adores horror flicks and has attempted to engage me in them with limited success. Hubby is the horror fan, but for some reason, our girl wanted me to really like them as she did. For the record, her favorite movie of all time is House of 1000 Corpses, followed by The Devil’s Rejects for a close second. Watching those flicks gave me nightmares for a week, so when our daughter stated that Stranger Things would be a favorite series, I didn’t believe her. Color me surprised as Hubby and I binged the first season, followed by the second. The music brought me back to our dating days, when Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Journey and Cyndi Lauper reigned supreme. I had every cassette by all those artists, (yes, I am THAT old) and I played them so frequently that I feared

It just so happened to be the World Athletics Championships. Eugene is known as a track town because Nike was founded there. But apparently, right before we got to Eugene, there had been a protest because of the forceful removal of homeless people to set up the race. There was also a carnival and the week-long Eugene Riverfront Festival. Upon checking in we met our host Lori, who we’d get to know well over our four-day stay. We got some dinner and settled in for the night, deciding to attend the free Eugene Riverfront Festival over the next couple of days.We really enjoyed our stay in this Airbnb. The host, Lori, was really nice and told us many stories of her travels. She said she enjoys hosting because she gets to meet so many interesting people and she even had a wall of photos of past guests. We relaxed in the Airbnb, that had a very nice backyard with a garden, hammock and yard games, all day and then went to the festival at night. We saw some amazing artists, including band Ozomatli, dance group Flamenco Chico and band Orquesta Descarga. Before we left Eugene, we took a photo with our host and another housemate we had gotten to know well over our stay. Next, we got into Sacramento around 6 a.m. after riding an overnight train. I enjoy riding the train, utilizing the observation car and the food cart. The seats are even pretty comfy and have good legroom. But, it can be very hard to sleep.

2. You can’t afford to risk getting sick. Even healthy people can get sick enough to miss work or school. If you’re sick, you may not be able to take care of your family or other responsibilities.

1. You may be at risk for serious diseases that are still common in the U.S. Each year thousands of adults in the United States get sick from diseases that could be prevented by vaccines — some people are hospitalized, and some even die.Even if you got all your vaccines as a child, the protection from some vaccines can wear off over time. You may also be at risk for other diseases due to your age, job, lifestyle, travel, or health conditions.

3 REASONS FOR ADULTS TO GET VACCINATED

• Pneumococcal • Shingles

3. You can protect your health and the health of those around you by getting the recommended vaccines. Vaccines lower your chance of getting sick. Vaccines work with your body’s natural defenses to lower the chances of getting certain diseases as well as suffer ing complications from these diseases. Vaccines lower your chance of spread ing certain diseases. There are many things you want to pass on to your loved ones; a vaccine preventable disease is not one of them. Infants, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems (like those undergoing cancer treatment) are espe cially vulnerable to vaccine preventable diseases.Vaccines are one of the safest ways to protect your health. Vaccine side effects are usually mild and go away on their own. Severe side effects are very rare.

GETTING VACCINATED Adults can get vaccines at doctors’ of fices, pharmacies, workplaces, commu nity health clinics, health departments, and other locations. To find a vaccine provider near you, go to www.vaccine. healthmap.org.Mosthealthinsurance plans cover the cost of recommended vaccines. Check with your insurance provider for details and for a list of vaccine providers. If you do not have health insurance, visit www.healthcare.gov to learn more about health coverage options. Talk with your healthcare professional to make sure you are up to date with the vaccines recommended for you. For more information on vaccines, visit www.cdc.gov/vaccines/adults or use the AdultVaccine Assessment Tool at www2.cdc.gov/nip/adultimmsched/ to find out which vaccines you may need.

There are vaccines you need as an adult You need vaccines throughout your life. Adults need to keep their vaccinations up to date because immunity from childhood vaccines can wear off over time. It is important to have your titers checked annually during your annual doctor’s visit. A titer test is a blood test that detects the presence and levels of certain antibodies in an individual’s blood stream. The test is often done to determine if the individual is immune to a certain virus or if they require a vaccination to increase their immunity. You may already have immunity to the virus that is being tested due to previous vaccinations or if you had contracted the disease in the past.Ifa titer test reveals that your antibody count is lower than the acceptable immunity threshold, you may require a vaccine or booster to increase your immunity to that virus.You are also at risk for different diseases as an adult. Vaccination is one of the most convenient and safest preventive care measures available. All adults should get: • Flu vaccine every year to protect against seasonal flu • Td/Tdap to protect against tetanus, diph theria, and pertussis (whooping cough) Based on your age, health conditions, vaccines you received as a child, and other factors, you may need additional vaccines such as: Chickenpox • Hepatitis A • Hepatitis B • Human Papillomavirus (HPV) MMR • Meningococcal

August Is Psoriasis Action Month

Psoriasis is an immune-mediated dis ease (a disease with an unclear cause that is characterized by inflammation caused by dysfunction of the immune system) that causes inflammation in the body. There may be visible signs of the inflammation such as raised plaques (plaques may look different for different skin types) and scales on the skin. This occurs because the overactive im mune system speeds up skin cell growth. Normal skin cells completely grow and shed (fall off) in a month. With psoriasis, skin cells do this in only three or four days. Instead of shedding, the skin cells pile up on the surface of the skin. Some people report that psoriasis plaques itch, burn and sting. Plaques and scales may appear on any part of the body, although they are commonly found on the elbows, knees, andInflammationscalp. caused by psoriasis can impact other organs and tissues in the body. People with psoriasis may also experience other health conditions. One in three people with psoriasis may also develop psoriatic arthritis.Symptoms often start between ages 15 and 25, but can start at any age. Men, women, and children of all skin colors can getPsoriasispsoriasis.can appear anywhere on the body, even on the eyelids, ears, lips, skin folds, hands, feet, and nails. Plaques can be a few small patches or can affect large areas. It’s possible to have psoriasis plaques and scales in more than one location on the body at a time. There are five types of psoriasis. It’s possi ble to have more than one type of psoriasis at one time and more than one type in a lifetime. Treatments may vary depending on the type and location of the psoriasis. While scientists do not know what exactly causes psoriasis, we do know that the immune system and genetics play major roles in its development. One thing we do know: psoriasis is not contagious. You cannot catch psoriasis from another person. Usually, something triggers psoria sis, causing symptoms to appear or worsen. Triggers vary from person to person. As with other chronic diseases, psoriasis may affect areas of your life other than your physical health. Psoriasis may affect your emotional health, your relationships, and how you handle stress. It could even affect areas of your life that you wouldn’t expect, such as the clothes that you choose to wear. For some people, living with psoriasis can be a challenge. However, there are ways to handle those challenges so you can thrive withVisitpsoriasis.www.psoriasis.org to learn more.

—David Bernstein, MD, MACG, FAASLD, AGAF, FACP

THE SPECIALIST David Bernstein, MD currently stay at home and do not go for laboratory testing while in the beginning of the pandemic, these patients were seen in the hospitals and labs were obtained. Regardless, this is good news for the Whenliver.people with liver disease become infected with COVID, they do not have worse outcomes than those without liver disease. A recent report described no increased risk of poor outcomes in people with fatty liver and since this is about thirty percent of the American population, this comes as good news. For people with cirrhosis, COVID is associated with poor outcomes so it is essential that this group be vaccinated, take boosters when available and consider masking when entering indoor public places. Treatments are available for COVID although most patients can recover without these therapies. Monoclonal antibodies are widely used and have been shown to be safe for liver patients and not to cause abnormal liver tests when given to the general population. Paxlovid, however, due to its ritonavir component, has been described to cause abnormal liver tests and therefore should be given with caution in patients with underlying chronic liver disease.Monkeypox is a virus that is similar to smallpox and is not related to chickenpox. It is typically spread through close personal and intimate contact and is more commonly spread in men having sex with men. Monkeypox typically causes fever, headaches, muscle aches, a lack of energy and a rash resembling pimples or pus-filled blisters. Monkeypox is rarely fatal and significant liver issues have not been reported to be associated with this infection. There is no specific treatment. A vaccine is available to prevent infection.

COVID and monkeypox are frequent topics of conversation. Many questions remain regarding what these infections can cause. This column will discuss the current knowledge of these infections on the liver. COVID infections remain common in our area with the number of actual cases being much higher than the reported cases due to the widespread availability of home testing. The dominant strain in the U.S. is BA.5 and this is reported to be the most contagious of all the COVID strains to date. Super-spreading events are up as people seem to be more comfortable attending these events without masking. While infections are up, hospitalizations and severe outcomes from this strain are down, which is good news. Widespread vaccination and boosters, while not eliminating the risk of acquiring COVID, can be credited for lessening the impact of the disease on those infected. When COVID was first described, the data showed the fifty percent of infected individuals developed abnormal liver tests and some developed chronic liver disease with some even requiring liver transplantation. This does not appear to be the case with the newer strains. Whether this is a vaccine effect or that this strain is less liver toxic is unknown. It may simply be that the majority of COVID infected patients

Both Baby And Mom

Guy L. Mintz, MD Apheresis machine

Breast milk antibodies help protect a baby from illness. Breastfeeding has health benefits for both babies and mothers. Breast milk provides a baby with ideal nutrition and supports growth and development. Breastfeeding can also help protect baby and mom against certain illnesses and diseases.

1. Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for most babies. As the baby grows, the mother’s breast milk will change to meet her baby’s nutritional needs.

High cholesterol is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease including heart attack, stroke and peripheral arterial disease. Though elevated cholesterol (lipids) may be due to dietary indiscretion, it can also be due to genetic predisposition, called Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH). Patients are born with very high levels of cholesterol due to a genetic mutation of the cholesterol receptor in the liver and are less responsive to medications intended to lower lipid levels. This diagnosis can be made through routine cholesterol blood tests and a physical examination. Patients with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) possess one normal, and one abnormal cholesterol receptor gene and this occurs in 1 out of 250 people.Homozygous HypercholesterolemiaFamilial(HoFH) have two defective cholesterol receptor genes and this is seen in 1 out of 300,000 people. HoFH patients can have cholesterol levels above 400mg/dl and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels above 300mg/dl. Patients with FH can de velop early coronary artery disease and are at greater risk for heart attacks and strokes and have a shorter life expectancy. Overall, patients with FH are 20 times more likely to develop heart disease. Cholesterol reduction in these patients requires more than diet and exercise modifications to achieve target cholesterol levels. Lipid lowering therapy is required and statin drugs are the preferred treatment. However, 7 to 20 percent of patients maybe statin intolerant. Many of these patients treated with maximally tolerated dosages of statins may not achieve their cholesterol target and require multiple lipid lowering therapies. Patients who are at very high risk for cardiovascular events with persistent elevated cholesterol despite medical therapy may be candidates for Lipid Apheresis. Lipid Apheresis is a treatment indicated for patients with coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease or elevated Lipoprotein, and elevated cholesterol despite medical therapy. It is reserved for patients with atherosclerosis or at very high cardio vascular risk in whom medical treatments have been ineffective, or those with HoFH who have had a limited response to standard cholesterol lowering therapies. Lipid Apheresis is a lifelong procedure in which venous blood is filtered through an apheresis machine that removes the bad lipids and returns the “clean” blood back to the patient. The duration of the procedure ranges from two to four hours. The process significantly reduces total cholesterol com ponents 70 to 80 percent, and lipoprotein 60 to 70 percent. The procedure is performed bi-weekly or weekly based on post procedure lipidNorthlevels.Shore University Hospital is the only center on Long Island and is just the third center in New York to offer this cutting-edge procedure. The first procedure on Long Island was led by Dr. Guy L. Mintz, FACP, FACC, FNLA, and his team at North Shore University Hospital.

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Mintz emphasized the importance of reducing high cholesterol as early as possible and seeking a treatment that is best suited to reduce a patient’s cardiovascular risk. For some patients that might be as simple as diet and exercise. Other patients may need med ical therapy. And for some, lipid apheresis might be the best option. “We have brought new hope to a group of patients whose medications have failed,” Mintz said. “Apheresis is another important tool in our toolbox for treating these high-risk patients; early evaluation and intervention is an opportunity for cardiac prevention.”

Breastfeeding Benefits

5. Breastfeeding can reduce the mother’s risk of breast and ovarian cancer, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. Breastfeeding has health benefits for the mother too. Some cancers, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure are less common among women who breastfeed.

FIVE GREAT BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDING.

4. Mothers can breastfeed anytime and anywhere. Mothers can feed their babies on the go without worrying about having to mix formula or prepare bottles. When traveling, breastfeeding can also provide a source of comfort for babies whose normal routine is disrupted.

Mintz can be reached at Northwell Health System (1350 Northern Blvd,, Suite 202, Manhasset) or by phone at 516-482-3401.

“Lipid apheresis slows the progression of atherosclerosis, reduces vascular inflamma tion and in doing so, reduces the patient’s chances of a heart attack,” Mintz said. Mintz is the director of the lipid apheresis at Northwell Health and the Director of Cardiovascular Health & Lipidology at North Shore University Hospital. “The longer patients are exposed to very high levels of cholesterol, the earlier they develop heart disease,” Mintz said. “This is especially true in patients with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia.”

2. Breastfeeding can help protect babies against some short- and long-term illnesses and diseases. Breastfed babies have a lower risk of asthma, obesity, type 1 diabetes, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Breastfed babies are also less likely to have ear infections and stomach bugs.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for about six months, and then continuing breastfeeding while introducing complementary foods until a child is 12 months old or older. You can read the full recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

3. Breast milk shares antibodies from the mother with her baby. These antibodies help babies develop a strong immune system and protect them from illnesses.

Napa Valley. I was stunned by the beauty of Napa Valley. I could see why it was famous. In Napa Valley, we saw one of the three Old Faithful Geysers and we went to Trefethen Family Vineyards. My friend and I split a wine tasting. Being in Napa Valley, in some ways, reminded me of being out east on LongTheIsland.nextmorning, we headed to San Jose. We had the evening to ourselves, so we went to Japantown in San Jose to get dinner and dessert and to check out a karaoke bar, where I sang two songs. We had so much fun. The next day, we got another rental car and headed to Carmel-By-The-Sea. First, we visited Point Lobos State Park, which has several scenic coves. We tried to find otters and sea lions, but we could only hear them. Nearby, we saw some of the fairytale cottages Carmel is known for. We finished the day by taking the scenic route towards San Jose, stopping at a Vista Point to look at the clouds that covered the mountains like smoke. This is part five of a series on traveling the country via Amtrak.

The idea came out of the septuagenarian vocalist envisioning her version as a duet and trying to figure out who “the male angel” would be that could sing the other part of this cover. “I thought how great the song would be if it was stripped down and just sung with soul,” she said. “It had to be Vince Gill because he’s got that voice.”

Playing live music is in Ann Wilson’s blood. The San Diego native is a performer who not only craves the intangible giveand-take she gets from the audiences she’s entertaining, but with the musicians she’s interacting with, be it on stage or in the studio. With Heart in a self-described “dormant” state, getting to scratch that itch after two-plus years of pandemic-informed scenarios was paramount. It’s all the more pressing on the heels of the recent release of Fierce Bliss, her third and newest solo outing. Leading up to this latest project, last year saw Wilson shaking off the performance rust by touring behind the 2021 Sawheat 8 EP. She used that momentum to record in Nashville and the storied FAME studio in Muscle Shoals with her band, the Amazing Dawgs. From Wilson’s experience trying to pull the EP together, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer knew that socially distanced collaborating wasn’t going to cut it going forward. “When we tried to record some of these songs [for Sawheat 8] remotely, I didn’t feel like it had that punch,” she explained. “There was a feeling of vagueness to it because it was more about doing what you need to do, get back to me and you wind up with this mountain of material that’s been to a few different destinations with each person putting their own style on it. That Ann Wilson (Photo by Criss Cain) just didn’t work for me.” With that lesson learned, Wilson spent a week a piece in Tennessee and Alabama, emerging along the way with 11 songs that are a mix of covers, collaborations and originals. In the process, she wound up working with a number of notable names including Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Gov’t Mule’s Warren Haynes and Vince Gill. What started out as a way of getting out of the house and reconnecting with her craft in a real-time manner instead yielded Fierce Bliss. Among the highlights are originals like “Greed,” an aggressive rocker that draws from industry experiences (“I think people who claim to have made every decision from a root of pure idealism, and never done anything dark or greedy, is lying”) and “Black Wing,” an ethereal gem sparked by COVID-caused isolation shortly after Wilson moved to Florida and features Wilson’s flute accompaniment. “It was the first song I wrote during the pandemic when we were in lockdown,” she said. “I’d look out my window for months at this river where all these birds were flying around. As I was feeling more isolated, I started to anthropomorphize them and wish I could be up there with them too, able to go everywhere.”

Not unlike the connection she found with Loverboy’s Mike Reno on the 1984 hit “Almost Paradise,” Wilson hits the sweet spot with Vince Gill on a reading of the 1975 Queen nugget “Love of My Life.”

With the rest of the year packed with tour dates, Wilson gets to tap into the spiritual sustenance she gets from playing before an audience. If you think the roots of this intrinsic satisfaction gets from playing live dates back to Wilson seeing Led Zeppelin for the first time on a bill with Three Dog Night and the Fifth Dimension, or early days spent in pre-Heart bands like White Heart and Hocus Pocus, you’d be wrong. It was instead the experience of listening to her mom’s copy of Harry Belafonte’s Live at Carnegie Hall that cast the die for the future rock singer that continues to be her creative North Star. “Live at Carnegie Hall is just a classic record with some amazing performances on there,” she recalled. “He did this version of the old Irish song ‘Danny Boy’ on there. He just has the audience right in the palm of his hand with all this delicacy and tenderness before he goes up to this one high note and nails it. I was just a little kid listening to that and I felt the thrill of that high note so deeply that in that moment, I knew I had to do that somehow. I didn’t know how, but I had to get up there and feel that. It had very little to do with an audience. It had more to do with being a hollow reed and taking orders from the Force.”

As to what fans can look forward to, Wilson promises a solid cross-section of material from the different eras of her career.“They can expect some new stuff— songs they haven’t even heard yet as well as a few Heart songs and a few covers,” she said. “[The Amazing Dawgs] are a great band. They’re just fantastic and I’m having a ball with them.”

The best approach, after winning the club lead with the king, is to play a heart immediately. If West takes the ace, you have 12 tricks, so let’s assume he lets you win with dummy’s queen. Now you cash the A-Q of trump, leaving one trump at large, then play the ace and another club toward your queen, hoping to find the suit divided 3-3. East produces the jack on the ace, then goes into deep thought trying to decide whether or not to ruff the five. Actually, it doesn’t matter what he does. Let’s suppose he trumps the club. In that case, you play low from your hand, retaining the queen of clubs. With all the adverse trumps now out of circulation, you can later discard a spade from dummy on the club queen and make the slam by ruffing a spade in dummy. If East does not ruff the third round of clubs, you are on equally firm ground. After winning with the queen, you ruff the seven of clubs with the jack of trump to produce your 12th trick.

Finz, under the stage name “Lennie Forrest,” had a promising entertainment career going in the 1950s. He met and was praised by the singer-actor Al Jolson. Finz was beaten out by Danny Thomas for the lead role in the 1952 remake of The Jazz Singer (Wikipedia Commons)

LEONARD FINZ from page 4

Per his biography, “Judge Finz won record settlements and verdicts in Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Schenectady, Albany, Syracuse, and other areas of New York State, in addition to New Haven, Hartford and other jurisdictions. In all, he won countless millions of dollars for his clients.” In 1984, Finz founded the medical malpractice firm Finz & Finz, P.C. It has offices in Mineola and Manhattan and is now managed by Finz’s son Stuart, the CEO. Stuart’s wife, Cheri, and their children, Jacqueline and Brandon, are also part of the firm. Books and Classes Late in life, Finz turned author, as he’s had plenty of life experiences to draw on. Among his titles are the political/legal thrillers “Arrowhead” (2005), “The Paragon Conspiracy” (2011) and “Reservation to Kill” (2013). At the age of 92, he published his memoir, “The Greatest Day of My Life.”

Per his biography, “As a former Queens College professor, he taught courses in ‘Business Law’ and ‘Law in Response to Social Change.’ As a law school professor at New York Law School, he taught courses in ‘Trial Advocacy’ and ‘Law and Medicine.’ He also served as a faculty member of The National Judicial College in Reno, Nevada, where he taught courses on ‘Medical Malpractice’ and ‘Tactics in the Courtroom.’ Judge Finz has written many articles that have been published in a host of publications... [including] ‘The High-Low Contract—Where Both Sides Win’ (the creation of the high-low contract by Judge Finz is still utilized in many forms throughout the state and national court system), andInmore.”addition, “Each day at Finz & Finz, P.C., he confers with the firm’s trial lawyers and staff on legal issues and courtroom strategy and offers advice on the prosecution of medical malpractice and personal injury cases.”

Q Are you still actively involved in your firm? A I spend time talking about strategy and things of that sort. I do a lot of writing. I write books and I write articles that are published. I do a lot of things. Because, after all, I’m only 24 years old, so I’ve got a long way to go (chuckles).

Q How are you feeling? A I feel great. And actually, I’m just one of the few surviving World War Two veterans. As you probably are aware, we had more than 16 million Americans in uniform during World War Two. And out of that number, we have fewer than 1 percent living today, most of whom are either in VA facilities or in nursing homes, or disabled. We’re losing veterans at the rate of 350 to 400 veterans a day. Mathematically, it’s just a question of time before we lose everyone. And pretty soon, unfortunately, we’re going to be a vanished breed. And who knows when I will be part of that group?

Schlesinger & Finz. Asked if he regretted giving up the judge’s chair at 53, Finz replied, “I gave it up because my kids [Saundra and Stuart] were in college. I could not afford it. I would have had to refinance my house and get a second mortgage in order to pay the bills.”

A military band took part in the ceremony. Eighty years before, the Army used Finz’s musical talents in a military band, and he also wrote songs and directed shows to entertain the troops. Wishing to join the war zones, he applied for and was accepted in the Army Officer Candidate School. (Courtesy of Leonard Finz)

A Chat With the Judge

He also was encouraged by his old NYU law professor Alfred Julien, former president of the American Trial Lawyers Association, and, per Finz, “one of the finest lawyers in the country.”

ANTON MEDIA GROUP • AUGUST 10 - 16, 2022 11

QBut until then, you are determined to learn and do as much as you can? A I do, it’s important. First of all, you’ve got to keep your mind occupied busy. Because if I don’t keep my brain occupied, my brain reaches out and complains, ‘How about paying attention to me?’ So with that, I must always do some writing and I write almost every day. I write a monthly article that is published. I’ve had four books published.

Leonard Finz accepts a certificate from Major General John F. Hussey certifying his induction into the United States Army Officer Candidate School Hall of Fame during a ceremony at Manhasset’s Gracewood Mansion. (Courtesy of Leonard Finz) Finz wrote his memoirs at age 92. Aside from his marriage and birth of his children, he said that being commissioned as an Army officer was the greatest day of his life. (Screen Capture)

Soon, Finz was trying what he called “very big cases,” the biggest of which was against pharmaceutical Eli Lilly & Company, and it’s anti-miscarriage pill, Diethylstilbestrol. Finz successfully argued that the drug caused vaginal cancer in some of the daughters born to those who had taken“Andit.I tried that case and got the very first verdict against Eli Lilly that went all the way up to the Supreme Court of the United States,” Finz noted. “And I made a national reputation from that point on.”

QIf you had any regrets in your long life, does any particular one stand out? AI suspect I had a choice. I came to the crossroads—I could have gone into show business or I could have continued with law. But I came very, very close and I had some very, very big opportunities and big things in show business. In fact, I was being considered for the lead role of the remake of The Jazz Singer I did so many things and was in radio and TV. I even was on The Joe Franklin Show on ABC TV here in New York, and performed every day on that job.

Last week, the MTA capped registration for the first virtual public meeting on the proposed changes at 257 registered speakers, leaving many without an outlet to be heard directly by MTA leadership. Understanding that there are still many commuters still wishing to be heard in this process, a fact underscored by the over 2,650 respondents to a survey by Senator Kaplan and Assemblywoman Sillitti, the Senator and Assemblywoman advocated for the MTA to add the additional public forums to give everyone a chance to speak out.

Assemblywoman Sillitti said “I would like to thank all of the commuters, residents, and community leaders who attended the first public hearing and voiced their concerns to the Long Island Rail road about the proposed schedule changes. It is because of your activism that we reached capacity at the first hearing and will now be having two additional meetings in the near future. Together we can continue to advocate for change and I remain hopeful that we are getting closer to a solution to help alleviate our residents’ concerns.”

Senator Kaplan said “we’ve already heard from thousands of residents in our community who are rightly upset about the proposed changes that eliminate express trains on the north shore and make it harder for commuters to reach Atlantic Terminal in Brooklyn, but it’s vital that every impacted resident have the opportunity to make their voices heard with the MTA before any service changes are decided upon. I urge every resident who hasn’t yet done so to either submit a formal comment to the MTA in writing, or sign up for one of the upcoming virtual hearings to make their case directly to MTA leadership.”

The new meetings will be held on the following dates: • Thursday, Aug. 4: 6 p.m.-8 p.m. • Thursday, Aug. 11: 6 p.m.-8 p.m. Members of the public wishing to speak at the meetings should register at new.mta.info/grandcentralmadison.

• Consider replacing your standard irrigation with a smart irrigation controller. These new systems connect to local weather stations to more accurately predict the actual watering needs of lawns and gardens. About the Long Island Water Conference: The LIWC has been committed to providing pure and plentiful water for the Long Island community since 1951. The LIWC aims to provide and maintain an adequate and safe water supply today, while anticipating the water concerns of future generations. LIWC members provide more than 375 million gallons of clean water daily. For more information, visit www.liwc.org. —Submitted by the Long Island Water Conference

Residents urged to limit irrigation during these periods of high heat and low precipitation The Long Island Water Conference (LIWC), an organization made up of more than fifty water providers in the region, is calling on residents to increase water conservation tactics with regards to their lawns and observe their water supplier’s odd/even watering ordinances. Long Island is in the midst of an inordinately hot and dry stretch of weather that looks to continue, and while there is not a drought present, water systems across the region are struggling to meet peak demand. They facing the possibility of reduced pressure due to a 400 percent increase in demand, mostly created by consistent use of irrigation systems that can be curbed with an adherence to shortened irrigation cycles. Therefore, residents are advised to abide by local irrigation ordinances, including running systems between 5:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. to avoid peak demand times. “We urge residents to reduce water usage to ensure the ability of Long Island water suppliers to meet the needs of Long Islanders and maintain high-pressure water for fire protection and other essential services,” said LIWC Chairman Kevin Durk. “This can be accomplished through residents shortening their irrigation cycles by several minutes, offsetting the increased demand and conserving a significant amount of water. This seemingly small change manufactures a monumental impact that will allow Long Island to handle the current stretch of weather.”

Nassau County’s Lawn Watering Ordinance requires residences with a house number that is even—or is not numbered—to water their lawn on even-numbered days. Similarly, residences with a house number that is odd should water their lawn on odd-numbered days. In addition to adhering to all irrigation regulations in both Nassau and Suffolk counties, homeowners are urged to be conscious of water usage inside their homes. To help residents cut back on usage, the LIWC reminds the public of these water-saving tips: • Reduce your irrigation system’s watering per zone by 5 minutes. This will save approximately 20 percent on your overall usage.

• Check your irrigation system for leaks and broken sprinkler heads. You could unknowingly be wasting thousands of gallons of water every month.

• Be sure to check for and repair any leaks throughout household plumbing – a leaky toilet (one that constantly runs) can waste more than 20,000 gallons of water a month.

Although there is no shortage of water present in Long Island’s bountiful aquifer, there are a limited number of supply wells throughout Long Island to draw the water from the ground. Long Island’s water infrastructure is vast; however, it struggles to keep up with the fourfold increase in demand for water in these weather conditions while also keeping storage tanks full. In addition to providing the water needs for Long Island residents, keeping storage tanks full is crucial to ensuring there is adequate supply and pressure when firefighters have to respond to an emergency. Water conservation also keeps lawns healthier, for they are incredibly resilient and only require an inch of water per week to remain healthy. Overwatering promotes shallow root development, which makes lawns more susceptible to burning and drought. To avoid your lawn burning, maintain shortened irrigation cycles and keep the cut length of the lawn high at approximately three inches.

Kindergarten through third grade and loved working with her fellow teachers and students. She was certified to be a reading specialist and participated in the citywide pilot program to work with targeted students to bring their level of proficiency up to their grade average. Julie was very active and loved to take on a challenge. In 2009, she ran the Chicago Half Marathon during a torrential rainstorm that had the highest rain accumulation in recorded Chicago history, finishing the race in less than 3 hours. At the age of 33, she was diagnosed with a rare salivary gland cancer for which there was no cure. Many people were inspired with the way she battled forward, surviving the odds with her powerful attitude and outlook.

ANTON MEDIA GROUP • AUGUST 10 - 16, 2022 17

Earlier this summer, the county executive and police commissioner met with the Manhasset community and pledged extra resources to counter what was seen as a surge in crime, especially car thefts and residential burglaries. Dolan was asked if the enhanced law enforcement efforts in the area had made a difference.“We’reon the decline right now as far as the car thefts and burglaries and things of that sort, which is good news,” he said. “Ninety-nine percent of these crimes are preventable. It’s so frustrating, but we’re on the decline right now. We’ve actually made a couple of really good arrests over the weekend regarding burglaries, so we’re pretty happy about that. Hopefully, because of that, burglaries will take a dip as well.”

The Nassau County Police Department Sixth Precinct, which includes Manhasset, hosted its second annual National Night Out event at Whitney Pond Park in Manhasset on Aug. 2. All eight precincts hosted activities that day.
