On Aug. 2, the CongressionalDemocraticcandidates came together in a forum in an attempt to persuade voters to allow their campaign to move past the primary. The excitement started right at the entrance to the forum. Outside of Syosset High School, people stood chanting for Josh Lafazan or holding signs for Robert Zimmerman. There was no calming of energies when the forum began. People would applaud loudly for their candidate of choice as they opened up with their opinion. The loudest applause was awarded to Lafazan, who had started his career on the Syosset school board at age 18. However, his appearance also brought along the loudest opposition. A young man in the crowd stood up to scream that Lafazan is a Republican who serves himself and not the rest of the community. He was then escorted out so the forum could continue. The forum then started by allowing each candidate to say the legislation most im portant to them. To start, Melanie D’Arrigo said she would focus on standing against government corruption, supporting the working class, pushing for Medicare for All, taking back reproductive rights and ending gun violence. Next, Jon Kaiman es tablished his focus on controlling inflation and aiding the economy, fixing the issues that have been brought up by the Supreme Court, and investing in infrastructure. After this, Lafazan explained the importance of codifying Roe v. Wade and stopping gun violence. Reema Rasool spoke next, showing her passion to repre sent the people instead of lobbyist groups, pushing for Roe v. Wade and helping small businesses. Last but not least was Zimmerman who strongly believed in try ing to “save our democracy” by addressing corruption, supporting Medicare for All, standing against gun violence, codifying Roe v. Wade and protecting the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.

New York’s Third Congressional District primary election is on Aug. 23

RasoolD’Arrigosaid.called out Lafazan for saying he wants to strengthen the Affordable Care Act (ACA), saying it is not enough. “When you hear people say ‘I want to strengthen the ACA’, it sounds good right? You know, it means they want to give money to the insurance companies,” D’ArrgioPeoplesaid.were heated in the discussion of where it is acceptable to take donations from. The moments of controversy were short and fast passing, making it just small moments in a two hour long forum. The three men spent their night empha sizing their experience and connections. Kaiman showed pride in his past as five-term supervisor of the Town of North Hempstead, Deputy County Executive of Nassau County and NYS advisor for Superstorm Sandy. He felt as though his time at these positions has made him especially qualified in understanding the intricacies of government and how to negotiate with the other side. “I believe this moment calls for a person with substance and depth and experience,”

The Democratic Congressional Candidates for District 3. (Photo by Emma Duffy) see CONGRESSIONAL FORUM on page 4 be willing to work across the aisle with Republicans who would be willing to work with them. Similarly, all of the candidates believe in helping our ally Israel and finding peace in the area. Even though many answers were stan dard, the night wasn’t free of controversy or more answers from the candi dates. At one point, Kaiman took a shot at Lafazan for overemphasizing his won elections, because even though he won the most recent election, Kaiman has won more in his career.“You know, I lost my last election running for Congress against some body, but I tell you I’ve won more than this guy did,” Kaiman said. A question called out Lafazan’s flip-flop ping opinion of policing, which caused him to focus on gun control over address ing the policing issue—in which everyone followed his lead. Rasool and D’Arrigo set themselves apart on the inflation question by saying it is not just inflation, but corporate greed. “If this is inflation, then why do all of I’m proud to be a Democrat and trying to stand up for democratic values, and with all of us together, we can turn it into real action.

After this there were more direct questions chosen from the audience. There were many topics of interest: wheth er the candidates were willing to accept donations from “dark money” groups, how these candidates differ from “establish ment” Democrats that have failed people in the past, the closing of Syosset’s Mercy First Residential foster care, plans for public educa tion, how they will address inflation, gun control and policing, Medicare for All, how they would deal with a

During a time of polarization, it seems as though these candidates would these big companies keep making insane and record profits quarter on quarter?”

topic for discussion. A book by Joe Keohane, a Gross friend, is called The Power of Strangers: The Benefits of Connecting in a Suspicious World. The book encourages overcoming the aversion, fearfulness and hesitation around a casual conversation with strangers, which is the basis of these Conversation Stations. “We don’t have topics at the Conversation Stations now because we want to stimulate and legitimize more of a friendly and sociable atmosphere,” said Gross. “I’m delighted if people just say ‘Hi’ or ‘Good morning,’ basically, using the stations as a way to chat.”

KaimanLafazansaid.isyounger, but got his start early on, feeling as though he is the one who undoubtedly has what it takes to win the general election. So far, Lafazan has not only held a position on the school board, but has also won a seat in the Nassau County Legislature. “We held that seat because I’m the candidate who pulls together a coalition to get things done,” Lafazan said. Zimmerman stood apart with his 20 years as a part of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and time on Capitol Hill as a Congressional staffer and advisor. Along with his experience, Zimmerman shows that history would be made as the first representative for this district to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community. “I’m proud to be a Democrat and trying to stand up for democratic values, and with all of us together, we can turn it into real action,” ZimmermanZimmermansaid.isnot the only trailblazer. There has never been a female representative for District 3 of New York, making it so Rasool or D’Arrigo could be the first. D’Arrigo has the backing of various interest groups that she promises to push for, proving that she is doing this to represent and support the people. She wants to have proper representation in government and feels she could bring that to people. “Every policy that I’ve been fighting for is people centered,” D’Arrigo said. Rasool also intends to be a representative for the people. She is a first-generation American Muslim who is not a career politician, but wants to make a difference.

“I am not happy with the way things are going and I just decided that instead of complaining and whining that I was going to do something about it,” Rasool said. The second part of the debate was a lightning round that gave candidates a chance to give short responses to non-political questions. This led to Zimmerman saying if he was a DJ he would like to be called “Rapmaster Zim,” Rasool to say the ugliest vegetable she knows is a bittermelon and Kaiman to fail to think of a word to describe Lafazan. Although entertaining, Lafazan described the endeavor as “bizarre” and to those in the audience it came off as nothing but a failed attempt to personalize theHopefullycandidates.the candidates were able to sway some voters, considering that moderator and accomplished journalist Karina Mitchell announced that 48 percent of Democratic voters surveyed are unsure of how they will be voting in the primary. As a whole, this group of candidates seem more than willing to roll up their sleeves and do the work to help their district. With the primaries coming up, now is the time for democratic citizens to go out and vote for which candidate they think is best for their community. The primary vote is on Aug. 23. from

Town To Host Situational Awareness Training Program For Residents

OnAugust 5, 2022, Senator Anna M. Kaplan (D-North Hills) joined Korean American Civic Empowerment (KACE), Rainbow PUSH Coalition, and the Korean American Sanctuary Church Network (KASCN) for a rally in support of the New York State Asian American History Education Bill, which seeks to combat Asian hate through improved education. The bill, which is sponsored by Senator John Liu and co-sponsored by Senator Kaplan, would require elementary and high schools across New York State to provide instruc tion in Asian American history and civic impact. The bill seeks to combat the lack of understanding and knowledge of Asian Americans, which has contributed to the recent increase in hate crimes against peo ple of Asian descent, particularly in the wake of the pandemic. Teaching students about the historical con tributions of Asian Americans will help foster respect and understand ing of Asian Americans, and allow Asian Americans to see themselves reflected as an important part of the history and culture of this country.

Senator Kaplan said “Asian American history is American his tory, and it’s important that every student learn it. At a time when extremists and white supremacists are trying to tell us that diversity is a bad thing, we reject the idea that diversity shouldn’t be taught and celebrated in our schools, and we’re rallying for action because more needs to be done to ensure our kids learn about the history and contributions of Asian Americans. The more we know about our rich history, and the better we under stand the journey of our neighbors, With the recent tragedies in Uvalde and Buffalo still touch ing our hearts and in our minds, North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena today announced that the Town has arranged a Situational Awareness Train ing program for residents to be conducted by the Nassau County Police Department Homeland Security Unit. The program will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 24 at 7 p.m. at Clinton G. Martin Park, located at 1601 Marcus Ave. in New Hyde Park. “These terrible tragedies throughout our nation have left us all feeling very uneasy and worried, and while we all hope to never face such a situation, this program is a great opportunity to recognize potential warning signs and learn survival strategies,” Su pervisor DeSena said. “The safety and wellbeing of our residents is one of my top priorities, and by working with the Nassau County Police Department Homeland Se curity Unit to offer this program, our residents will become better educated and more prepared.” By focusing on situational awareness, the 90-minute lecture encourages participants to be vigilant for suspicious behavior which could be indicators of a future attack. The free work shop, which will be conducted by the Nassau County Police Department’s Homeland Securi ty Unit, will include topics such as: emergency response plans, knowing your evacuation route, what to do if you see a suspicious package, understanding warning signs, what to do during an active shooter situation and more. Resi dents will learn the proper way to respond in different situations, as instructors will identify best prac tices learned from past incidents.

Long Island Reach Raises Nearly $14,000 In Support Of Mental Health Awareness Month

The 9 and Dine Golf and Dinner was purposefully designed for golfers and non-golfers. The sold out 9-hole golf outing was held at Lido Golf Course and was followed by a social gathering at JJ Coopers Restaurant in Long Beach. All event proceeds went to benefit Long Island Reach’s support services, mental health counseling, and therapy programs for people in Withcrisis.mental health care being at an all-time high, the 9 and Dine Golf and Dinner Event was a unique way to recognize how important it is to connect individu als to the appropriate level of care. Long Island Reach is committed to working with community residents of all ages and their families to engage and help them learn better ways to cope with depression and seek creative alternatives to drug and alcohol abuse. “For the past 50 years, Long Island Reach has offered vital health and human services to Long Islanders in need. Non-profit or ganizations like Long Island Reach provide essential and life-saving services, such as behavioral health and addiction counseling as well as other countless critical support programs to help with mental health and to rebuild Long Island’s economy,” said Dr. Joseph Smith, psychologist and executive director of Long Island Reach. “Events such as our 9 and Dine Event support Long Island Reach allowing us to continue to help those in need and crisis across Nassau and Suffolk counties.”LongIsland Reach is grateful for its major sponsors Libby and Vinny D’Alessandro, PCG Advisory, and Malibu Wellness Ranch.

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month back in May, it was fitting for Long Island Reach to host their second annual 9 and Dine Golf and Dinner Event on May 24. The multi-service agency that provides a broad range of mental health counseling, reha bilitative and treatment services for youth and their families, based in Long Beach, held the event to benefit their programs and mission.Mental Health Awareness Month began in 1949, when the National Mental Health Association declared May as the month to increase awareness of the importance of mental health and wellness in Americans’ lives. The goal, which Long Island Reach stands by, is to recognize mental health and educate communities on the understanding of mental health needs. The 9 and Dine Golf and Dinner Event did just that and was a spirited way for people to come together to support those that are affected by mental illness.

Happy 58th Birthday For Federal Funding Of Long Island Public Transportation

Last month marked the 58th anniversary of federal government support for public transportation. Its success can be traced back to one of President Lyndon Johnson’s greatest accomplishments which continues benefiting many Americans today. On July 9, 1964 he signed the “Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964” into law. This has resulted in the invest ment of several hundred billion dollars into public transportation. Millions of Americans daily utilize various public transportation alternatives. They include local and express bus, para transit vehicle, ferry, jitney, light rail, subway and commuter rail. All use less fuel and move far more people than conventional single occupancy vehicles. Most are funded with your tax dollars, thanks to LBJ. We have the MTA and its various operating agencies, including New York City Transit subway, bus and Staten Island Railway, Long Island Rail Road, Metro North Rail Road, MTA Bus along with Nassau’s Inter County Express (NICE) system and City of Long Beach bus systems. Chartered by the state legisla ture in 1965 as the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority, it was created to purchase and operate the bankrupt LIRR. The MCTA changed its name to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in 1968 when it took over operations of the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA). Previously, in 1953, the old New York City Board of Transportation passed on control of the municipal subway system, including all its assets, to the then-new NYCTA. In 1973, Nassau County purchased equipment, routes and facilities of private bus operators, most of whom were experiencing financial difficulties. These includ ed Bee Line, Rockville Center Bus Corporation, Utility Lines, Schenck Transportation, Hempstead Bus Corporation, Jerusalem Avenue Bus Lines, Universal Auto Bus, Roosevelt Bus Lines, Stage Coach Lines, Hendrickson Bus Corp., etc. That same year, the county entered into a lease and oper ating agreement with the MTA to continue providing local bus service. This resulted in creation of the Metropolitan Suburban Bus Authority. The MSBA was followed by Long Island Bus and NICE. Suffolk County has Suffolk County Bus and Town of Huntington Area Rapid Transit Bus. There is also New Jersey Transit, Port Authority Trans Hudson (PATH) subway, New York City Departments of Transportation Staten Island Ferry and Economic Development Corporation private ferries.Using MTA Metro or OMNY Cards provides free transfers be tween the subway and bus. This has eliminated the old two-fare zones making public transportation an even better bargain. Purchasing a monthly LIRR or MTA subway/bus pass reduces the cost per ride and provides virtually unlimited trips. Employers can offer transit checks which help subsidize a portion of the costs. Utilize this and reap the benefits. It supports a cleaner environment.Manycompanies allow employ ees to telecommute and work from home. Others use alternative work schedules which afford staff the ability to avoid rush hour gridlock. This saves travel time and can improve mileage per gallon. Join a car or van pool to share the costs of commuting.Theability to travel from home to workplace, school, shopping, entertainment, medical, library etc. is a factor when moving to a new neighborhood. Economically successful communities are not 100 percent dependent on automobiles as the sole means of mobility. Seniors, students, low and middle-income people need these transportation alternatives. Investment in public transporta tion today contributes to economic growth, employment and a stron ger economy. Dollar for dollar, it is one of the best investments we canWhatmake.better way to honor the late President Johnson and all that has been achieved these past 58 years in public transportation by continuing funding the federal Highway Trust Fund and Mass TransitHappyAccount.Birthday.

Many Long Islanders have returned to celebrating weddings at catering halls with large crowds. We’ll soon celebrate our son Kevin and his fiancé Arielle’s nup tials on the water at the Piermont in AsBabylon.theFather of the Groom, I don’t have a lot of official respon sibilities. Other than hosting the rehearsal dinner and possibly making a toast, my primary responsibility to date seems to have been writing a few checks. There is a clearly defined role for the Mother of the Groom, who gets to dance with her son to some sappy song that might make peo ple weep. Of course, the Father of the Bride has even more respon sibilities. He walks his daughter down the aisle and hands her to his soon-to-be Son-in-Law. Then he dances with his daughter to an even sappier song, and there won’t be a dry eye in the house. But what do I do about this toastYouthing?would think as a published author and weekly columnist, writing a simple toast to congrat ulate the newlyweds would be a piece of cake. But it’s not. How do you encapsulate 30 years into just a few minutes? As we approached the recep tion, I couldn’t help but think of how Kevin had grown over the years. My thoughts drifted to all the good times we had as he grew into the man he is today. We’ve spent many days together on var ious adventures. Some involved the whole family, others with his brother. But sometimes, it was just the two of us. You can try and plan to have a great day, but they don’t always turn out that way. We’ve had some really good days. When he was a kid, the two of us would head to Adventureland in Farmingdale and spend a few hours (and a lot of quarters) in the video arcade playing games all afternoon in the winter. The 2013 All-Star game at Citi Field and the Home run Derby was a good day. We saw the Mets win a playoff game against the Dodgers in 2006 and a bunch of playoff and World Series games in 2015.There was the first time we saw The Who at Jones Beach. It was just the two of us.

Hoping For Great Days Ahead

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

As a former state legislator who spent 23 years in Albany, I can’t help but feel a great deal of sadness when I watch the daily antics of the current U.S. Congress. I come from a time when bipartisan handshakes were common and we got things done. We did our share of debating on the floor of both houses, but at the end of the day, the people came first and there was none of the meanness that dominates the corridors of Congress.Thereare two current examples of the political divide that hurts the average citizen in countless ways. For more than 10 years, efforts have been made to pass legisla tion that would grant benefits to soldiers who served in Afghanistan and Iraq. The issue is injuries from so-called burn pits. Burn pits were used by the military to dispose of various types of toxic waste, which includes plastics, rubber, rotten food, ammunition and unexplod edBurningordinances.allof these objects was an effective way to get rid of unwanted waste but it caused plumes of smoke that spread to barracks and other camp facilities. The vapors from the fires caused multiple cancer cases. The bill before Congress was aimed at providing benefits for sick veterans and families of deceased soldiers. After passing once and needing an amendment, the Republican mi nority was able to block its second passage. While this bill will have passed by now, there was no logical reason to torture the families affect ed by the burn pit discharge.

ANTON MEDIA GROUP • AUGUST 17 - 23, 2022 7AFULL RUN COLUMNS but it wasn’t until we snuck down to the floor-level seats for the encores that it turned into a great show. Kevin was nervous that we would get kicked out, but I’ve done it a hundred times and was pretty confident no one would care. Then there was the time we went on vacation at Universal Studios in Florida. Kevin was maybe 9 or 10 years old. His brother James had gotten sick with a temperature, so my wife stayed inside the hotel room with him in the morning. We weren’t sure what to do and were considering if we should just cut our losses and head home. We had driven down in our Astro Van, so we didn’t have to worry about plane tickets.

I decided to take Kevin and we spent the day in the parks together. We had VIP passes thanks to the aunt of one of Kevin’s friends. She was the executive secretary at Universal Studios. But this wasn’t just any pass. At every attraction, we presented the pass to a team member, and they ushered us through the back doors and passed all the people in line right to the front. We never waited for anything. We must have gone on the Spiderman ride 10 times. Same thing with the Men in Black attraction. We kept passing the same people in the line and waving to them. We ate hamburg ers and fries at the Monster Café. There was the “Twister” attraction and the “Muppets” show. We did the “Terminator” and the “Fear Factor” shows. It turned out to be a great day. So raise a glass for Kevin and Arielle, wishing them a lifetime of great days.

Another bill of significance deals with America’s shortage of computer chips. If you go to buy a car these days, there could be a six-month wait because of the shortage of computer chips. Most of our supply of chips comes from China and Taiwan and those countries sell most of their chips to cell phone companies, which is a more lucrative deal. A bi-partisan bill to provide $52 billion for U.S. companies to produce computer chips and give tax breaks to a do mestic industry, passed the House by a vote of 243-187. Why would 187 Republicans vote against a bill to promote U.S. Industry? It seems that the House Republican leadership was upset over the fact that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va) had agreed on a bill to deal with climate change, inflation and eliminating tax benefits for wealthy companies and the minority didn’t like the idea that there was such an agreement. It seems petty and it is. Government is supposed to be in the business of helping people ad not settling personal scores. That is just two examples of partisan treachery, but two is too many.

During that time, Bublé decided to push himself, going into the studio and working with a new batch of creative partners that ran the gamut from known names like Paul McCartney, Willie Nelson and Ryan Tedder to up-and-coming talents like singer-songwriter Michael Pollack. It’s an experience he unpacks with a mix of

ENTERTAINMENT & LIFESTYLE

How easy would it be for Michael Bublé to stick with the status quo? The Canadian vocalist is handsome, has a solid set of pipes and crafted a career out of being the kind of crooning standard-bearer of the Great American Songbook that found him inheriting the mantle from Harry Connick, Jr. in the past two decades.

mysobravado.andunderstandingdeepgoofball“Thereweremanytimesincareerwhere maybe I didn’t do the scary thing,” Bublé admitted. I sort of wanted to make sure I stayed true to the audience and I didn’t move too much. I was proud that I took this step. It was funny but I said to my manager, ‘Bruce, I really want to branch out. I want a Renaissance in my style. I don’t want it to change. I just want it to get better.’ It was interesting because he said, ‘Listen kid, the big deal isn’t the balls to do that. It’s having the balls to realize or accept what happens if it doesn’t work.’ For me, that was the step. When I finished, I was really emotional. Like I said, it was a big kind of move for me and when I heard the final product, I knew I was a genius.”Making this experience all the more rewarding for Bublé was the fact that it was all accomplished in spite of the roadblocks the pandemic threw up. Fresh off a tour of Europe, Bublé continues to be jazzed and grateful about being back on the road, particularly when he’s asked about what fans can look forward to now that live music is coming back in such a robust manner. “I spent every single moment of the last three years thinking about how I’d make this show unique, new and special,” he said. “I was really excited about showing up again, connecting with people and giving them something that was refreshing for them and completely took them away. This will be one of the greatest shows they ever see in their life. I think when we look back at this record, we’ll look at it as being the most successful record of my life. In the meantime, fans can come and see a guy that’s put it all on the line.” Michael Bublé will be appearing on August 18 at Madison SquareGarden.

Michael Bublé Is Looking ToTake You Higher

But with his eleventh studio album Higher, the 46-year-old British Columbia native instead chose to push himself, particularly in coming out of the pandemic-fueled existential hangover the world has slowly been emerging from. It’s an experience Bublé acknowledges he and his family were fortunate enough to be cushioned from, while still appreciating that not everyone was in his shoes, particularly members of his band and crew who were unable to pay bills. It was a dire enough situation for Bublé to embark on a quick 32-date 2021 fall tour as COVID-19 numbers were spiking. Proof of vaccination or a negative test 48 hours prior to the show were required. For Bublé, it was an important example to set for his three children (wife Luisiana Lopilato is pregnant with the couple’s fourth“Becausechild).of all those beautiful human beings that have supported my family for so long, I didn’t have the same worries a lot of people had,” Bublé said. “I came from a very privileged place where I didn’t have to worry about paying my rent, how to get food or stuff like that. I really wanted to make sure my actions showed my family that when you come from that kind of privilege, you have a responsibility to lead by example with humility and empathy. It was definitely scary and if you’re an artist and say you weren’t scared, then you’re lying.”

With less being more, dining room spaces are adorned with natural textures that add a layer of dimension while perpetuating a clean environment. Table tops and bases along with sideboards are wrapped in grasscloth and linen to warm up the space. Mixing and matching various materials including shiny and matte metals play a key role in creating an outstanding dining room look.

4. Mix and match chairs Gone with the wind, the notion of “matchy match” chairs are now in the rear-view mirror.

I, like many other designers, have embraced the very vogue trend of mixing chairs. Not only do I suggest using a different host and hostess chair, but I also like to suggest variations for the side chairs which would include alternating colors with one chair design or repeating the same color with alternating chair styles. What a fun way to catch the attention of guests.

How To Create The Perfect Outdoor Living (And Work) Room

Trees, shrubs and bushes offer cover from neighbors, deliver shade, camouflage unsightly pool equipment and air handlers, and tamp down noise. Planters with flowers between seating and eating areas on a patio add visual interest and privacy. Shrubs and tall plants are a terrific privacy-creator (and noise canceller for those conference calls). Put the right plant in the right place Choosing the right plants for the climate zone and for your lifestyle will create a back yarding space that is attractive. It will also be easier to maintain, and support pollinators and wildlife. Consider watering and sunlight or shade needs for any plants added. A hardy grass variety is more likely to hold up to pets and kids. Save delicate flowering plants for patio containers, and be sure to research toxic plants to keep pets safe. Invite the outdoors in Blending interior and outdoor living spac es helps the backyard feel like an extension of the home. Open blinds and curtains to the yard. Use complementary indoor and outdoor décor in similar colors, materials and styles to create a cohesive space. This enables everyone to transition seamlessly from indoor life to outdoor living. Visit www.TurfMutt.com for more informa tion about living landscapes.

The pandemic thrust us into a new reali ty, and the backyard has a starring role. Yards and other managed landscapes became a safe Backyardinghaven.became a way of life as lawns, gardens, patios and decks evolved into outdoor offices, classrooms, family gather ing places, and the new “hot spots” in our neighborhoods.Accordingtoa new poll commissioned by the TurfMutt Foundation and conducted online by The Harris Poll, the outdoor office trend is here to stay with many Americans using their yards as makeshift offices for their jobs. Stats show that nearly two in five Americans who have a yard (58 percent) say they have spent time doing work for their job in their yard during the pandemic. So how is the backyard set up to meet all of these needs?

Create activity zones

—TuffMutt Foundation The outdoor office trend is here to stay.

Consider what needs to happen in the backyard and map activity areas. A shady table can double as a home office, study zone, art table, or dining spot. A hammock or outdoor sofa can suffice for napping, reading or studying. A patch of sturdy grass is perfect for sports, family games and play. A fire pit offers cozy chairs for star gazing and socializ ing, while a grill near a seating area promises delicious meals. A wall, fence, or pergola may hold an outdoor movie screen for nighttime viewing. An herb or vegetable garden helps kids learn about science and nutrition while reaping the satisfaction of growing food for the table. Factor functionality with purpose Is there a quiet spot for conference calls? Or a shady spot that minimizes glare for online video meetings? Note where electrical outlets are and if an outdoor-rated extension cord will be needed to accommodate all of the electronics that may be used outside. Check WiFi coverage and cell service in the yard and determine if there is enough comfortable seating. Spruce up landscapingexisting

The average ($598,200) and median ($366,100) existing-home sales prices among international buyers were the highest ever recorded by NAR—and 17.7 percent and 4.1 percent higher, respectively, than the previous year. The increase in foreign buyer prices partly reflects the increase in U.S. home prices, as the monthly average existing-home sales price rose to $374,300, up 10 percent from the prior period. At just over $1 million, Chinese buyers had the highest average purchase price, and nearly 31 percent purchased property in California. China and Canada remained first and second in U.S. residential sales dollar volume at $6.1 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively, continuing a trend going back to 2013. India, Mexico and Brazil rounded out the top five. For the 14th straight year, Florida remained the top destination for foreign buyers, accounting for 24 percent of all international purchases. California ranked second, followed by Texas, Arizona and New York and North Carolina, tied. All-cash sales accounted for 44 percent of international buyer transactions, nearly twice the rate of all existing-home buyers. Non-resident foreign buyers were twice as likely to make an all-cash purchase compared to resident foreign buyers.

NAR surveyed members about transactions with international clients who purchased and sold U.S. residential property from April 2021 through March 2022. Foreign buyers who resided in the U.S. as recent immigrants or who were holding visas that allowed them to live in the U.S. purchased $34.1 billion worth of U.S. existing homes, a 5.2 percent increase from the prior year and representing 58 percent of the dollar volume of purchases. Foreign buyers who lived abroad purchased $24.9 billion worth of existing homes, up 13.2 percent from the 12 months prior and accounting for 42 percent of the dollar volume. International buyers accounted for 2.6 percent of the $2.3 trillion in existing-home sales during that time period.

Foreign buyers purchased $59 billion worth of U.S. existing homes from April 2021 through March 2022, an 8.5 percent increase from the previous 12-month period and stopping a three-year skid in foreign investment in U.S. residential real estate, according to a new report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Foreign buyers purchased 98,600 properties, down 7.9 percent from the prior year and the fewest number of homes bought since 2009, when NAR began tracking this data. In the U.S., existing-home sales totaled 6.12 million in 2021—the highest since 2006.

WRITING THE RAILS

It was a beautiful day in Santa Monica.

JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

A fter spending almost all day on the train, we stepped off into Los Angeles around 9 p.m. I couldn’t believe I was in a place that holds such cultural and artistic influence in the United States, and even much of the world. We called a Lyft ride to get to our hostel located in LA’s Little Tokyo. The place was cute, but it certainly wasn’t as nice as some of the other places we stayed, with a bunk bed inside a small room with no air conditioner and shared bathrooms and showers with the rest of the hostel. However, it was safe and comfortable enough; and certainly a great find in terms of price. We had a busy day the next morning. We decided to check out Santa Monica, Downtown Hollywood and Griffith Observatory, which is known for having the best view of the Hollywood Sign. We took a bus and then a train to Santa Monica, which took about an hour, and then we got breakfast at a restaurant called SaMo’s Oaxaca. I had a huevos rancheros platter. Mexican food in California is so good! We then went down to the beach. It was so beautiful there, but very crowded. I didn’t mind, however, because I spent most of the time in the blue water, which looked like it was sparkling. I enjoyed floating in the sometimes calm waves looking at the Santa Monica Mountains in the distance. Later in the afternoon, we were headed to Hollywood to see the TCL Chinese Theatre, known for the hand and footprints in the concrete in front of it, and the Walk Of Fame. I didn’t realize the Walk Of Fame practically stretched over all of Hollywood’s sidewalks. It was fun pointing out the actors and musicians we love as we walked around. It was just surreal being there. After being starstruck for a few hours, my friend and I were headed towards the Griffith Observatory, but we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into, even laughing at a sign that said the bus was 150 percent full. We searched for a while for the free shuttle bus that takes people up to the observatory, and after finding it, we had to wait another half hour for the bus drivers to switch. And then, as we headed up there, the bus filled up with people standing up to the door. But it was well worth it. The panoramic views of the cities with the Hollywood Sign overlooking it and the two spotlights gliding through the sky was a moment I’ll never for get. The lights looked like they were twinkling. I do have to say I felt a little underdressed as some people were dressed in name-brand clothing and gowns. I guess that doesn’t matter, though. It did get rather cold at night as we waited on a very long line for the promised shuttle bus that was being blocked by six large tour buses blocking traffic in the roundabout. We were just about to step on the bus when the driver told us there was no room, but luckily we’d be first on the next one. We got home at around 11 p.m., tired as can be. My favorite part of the day had to be Santa Monica. My friend and I the following morning had time to kill before our 6 p.m. overnight train to Flagstaff, Arizona, so we checked our bags with the hostel and wandered around Little Tokyo.Westumbled into a restaurant called Hakata Ramen. We were lucky we got there when we did, just before noon, because we would have needed a reservation. Even before noon, almost every table was taken. And I see why, for about $12, I got a huge shrimp curry rice bowl. It was amazing. We had so much time, but didn’t want to wander too far, so we checked out most of the shops in the Japanese Village Plaza, buying a couple of souvenirs for my friends. Before we left I tried taro and lychee ice cream, which was so Overall,refreshing.Iloved my time in Los Angeles, but next time I’m back in California I’d love to check out Santa Barbara, as it looked beautiful from the window of the train. This is part six of a series on traveling the country via Amtrak.

ANTON MEDIA GROUP • AUGUST 17 - 23, 2022 11AFULL RUN found out it was ourselves/We were withholding from our land of living/ And forthwith found salvation in surrender.” Prior, the settlers submit ted to London, not to the land even when the land was theirs. And then, the transgressions upon the land as enunciated in the Declaration of Independence.Thesurrender. How did it happen? “Such as we were we gave ourselves outright/ (The deed of gift was many deeds of war).” Hence, the armed rebellion against the crown. That wasn’t all. Next, was the settling of the west. “To the land vaguely realizing westward/But still unstoried, artless, unenhanced/Such as she was/Such as she would become.” More adventure. More triumph. More confidence. When Ernest Hemingway published Men Without Women , his 1927 short story collection, a reviewer for The Nation called it “achingly good.” The same is true for “The Gift Outright.” The poem is more an experience than a puzzle.“TheGift Outright” is a story of American independence. Also, America the Innocent. Whether 1942 or 1961, the American saga was a story of continental conquest, of a victorious, confident, patriotic young nation, certain it could hurdle any obstacles in its path. It was a story told with pride, not just for Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison, but also Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, Andrew Jackson, Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, all the way to the magnanimous surrender between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee at Appomattox.Therewaspride in the land. Also the story of freedom. What did the word mean to Robert Frost? Not necessarily democracy or equality, but land ownership. All of freedom sprung from one source: private property. It was the one thing, along with family, that a man would fight for, something inviolate from the tentacles of the far-off state. “The many deeds of war” is simple. Fight for the land and you, the soldier who survived Bunker Hill, Lexington, and Kings Mountain, was awarded a healthy slice of land for himself. Frost sang of the land. He also lived it. A popular poet, the man, at one time, owned no less than four farms in his beloved New England. Frost didn’t care what the New York critics thought of his work. The man was a born contrarian, following in the footsteps of his father, a copperhead who named his son after the famed Confederate general. Frost’s life was for the land, where he would be poor, but proud, growing “Yankier and Yankier.” The great American poem indeed. FROST’S GIFT from page 4A

But of course the best gauge of all will be the level of satisfaction you experience when the thing is snug in hand, as it will be for a time this SAGITTARIUSweek.(Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As you play, the lessons you learn in the game become a part of you. e big prize at the end matters only in that it gives you a goal and a reason to keep going when it’s hard.

HOROSCOPES By Holiday Mathis ARIES (March 21-April 19). While gossip can be erosive to a social circle, it’s important to understand it for what it is. People bond over this type of information. It gives them something to talk about and is a source of entertainment. Providing other kinds of entertainment and opportunities for closeness may eliminate all need of gossip.

In general, it is not wise to double the opponents for penalties unless you think you can defeat the con tract at least two tricks. Aside from the fact that you might not get one of the tricks you are counting on, there is the simple matter of the scoring itself. For example, let’s say you double an opponent in four hearts not vul nerable, expecting to set the con tract one trick. If you’re right, you gain 50 points, scoring 100 points instead of 50. But if you’re wrong and declarer makes four hearts doubled, you lose an extra 170 points because of your double. So, in trying to gain 50 points, you might lose 170, which means you are giving odds of about 3.5 to 1 that the contract will fail. Consider this deal from a dupli cate game where West made a very close double of two spades. This was an especially risky double because, if West’s hopes failed to materialize, he would be doubling the opponents into game. West led a diamond, and East took dummy’s king with the ace. East very correctly returned a trump, won by West with the jack. Back came another diamond, won by East with the jack. At this point, it was no longer possible to defeat the contract. With a diamond return, the defend ers would finish with three trump tricks and two diamonds. With any other return, declarer would also finish with eight tricks, eventually discarding his third diamond on dummy’s ace of hearts. So South made two spades doubled for a score of 670 points. However, West could have defeated the contract and scored 200 points had he cashed his ace of trump after winning East’s trump return with the jack at trick two. He would then lead the deuce of dia monds to East’s jack at trick four. East would next cash the queen of diamonds and continue with a dia mond, promoting West’s queen of spades as the setting trick. Close doubles require tight defense.

WORD FIND

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Even when many aspects of your life are going well, you sometimes struggle with negative thoughts. It will help to isolate each one and challenge the truth of it. Many ideas don’t originate in our heads. Ideas are everywhere, and our minds are like a net that can’t help but catch the otsam and jetsam drifting by. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re capable of much more than you once thought. You’ll be inspired to test the limits. Revolt against routines that don’t seem to be adding up to anything. If you let yourself do the same thing you’ve been doing, you’ll soon nd yourself in a rut that’s hard to break out of.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll win over even the most di cult personalities through kindness and consistency or with toughness, logic and strategy. You inoculate yourself against the virus of egoism by being in service to those around you. With your ego in check, you can maintain a rm connection with the energy of the world.

Northwell Health nurse honored at White House ceremony

Sandra Lindsay Awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the nation’s highest civilian honor, presented to individuals who have made exceptionally meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace and cultural or other significant public or private endeavors. Sixteen others received the high honor with Dr. Lindsay in recognition of their accomplishments and advocacy to drive change. Dr. Lindsay is the first Jamaican-born Jamaican American to receive the medal. “At 18 years old, Sandra Lindsay immigrated to Queens, NY from Jamaica to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse. During the height of the pandemic, she poured her heart into helping patients fight for their lives and to keep her fellow nurses safe. And when the time came, she was the first American to become fully vaccinated outside of clinical trials,” President Biden said. “Sandra, as I told you before, if there are any angels in heaven, they are all nurses. Sandra’s vaccination card, hospital scrubs and badge are part of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History’s exhibit on COVID-19 and today she receives our nation’s highest civilian honor.”

During a special ceremony held at the White House last month, President Joseph R. Biden bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Sandra Lindsay, RN, DHSc, for becoming the first American to receive an approved Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine and her continued advocacy for public health equity.

The vaccine has demonstrated 95 percent efficacy against infection with minimal side effects, and works on messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, which has been in development for several years.

Northwell Health made history by vaccinating the first person in the United States against COVID-19. On Dec. 14, 2020, it injected Pfizer Inc.’s medication into Sandra Lindsay, an intensive care nurse. Lindsay’s participation kick-started a long-anticipated vaccination deployment program throughout the US, as well as the first phase of Northwell’s three-stage rollout to essential frontline hospital personnel. Physicians, nurses and any staff member working in direct contact with COVID-19 patients will also soon receive the first of the two-dose regimen. After receiving the injection, Lindsay said, “I feel great. It didn’t feel any different that when receiving the annual influenza vaccine. I hope this marks the beginning to the end of a very painful time in our history. I want to instill public confidence that the vaccine is safe. We’re in a pandemic and so we all need to do our part to put an end to the pandemic and to not give up too soon. There’s light at the end of the tunnel.”

Other honorees include gymnast Simone Biles, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, Olympic gold medalist Megan Rapinoe, Brigadier General Wilma Vaught and actor Denzel Washington. Among the recipients is fellow Long Islander, Father Alexander Karloutsos, pastor of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church of the Hamptons in Southampton, who has counseled several U.S. presidents. The Presidential Medal of Freedom was established in 1963; since then, more than 650 medals have been bestowed.OnDecember 14, 2020, the world watched as Dr. Lindsay, a critical care nurse, made history when she rolled up her sleeve and received the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Pfizer vaccine at Long Island Jewish Medical Center (LIJ-MC). Since then, Dr. Lindsay has been a vocal proponent of the need for vaccinations and has made it a personal mission to dispel medical misinformation and fight for equal health care access across the“Duringglobe. the pandemic, while working with my fellow nurses and colleagues on the frontlines, we waited for that sliver of hope—a vaccine—to help keep us going. It was an honor to raise my hand and volunteer to take the vaccine,” said Dr. Lindsay. “I am beyond thankful to President Biden for recognizing that momentous day and my continued efforts to end vaccine hesitancy and promote health care for everyone, no matter where you live, who you are, or the color of your skin.” Dr. Lindsay has more than 27 years of nursing experience, most of which in critical care. During the pandemic, Dr. Lindsay was responsible for leading a team of nurses in some of the sickest COVID-19 wards at LIJ-MC. Northwell Health, the largest health care provider in New York, was the nation’s epicenter of the pandemic in March 2020 and has since treated more than 300,000 COVID-19 patients through all of its facilities, which include 21 hospitals. “Sandra is the embodiment of courage and selflessness. That small brave act of getting the vaccine has rippled across the world and continues to leave a lasting impact,” said Michael Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health. “We are proud of Sandra and what she represents to our Northwell family and beyond.” This is Dr. Lindsay’s second trip to the White House and meeting with President Biden. Last July, Dr. Lindsay was given the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Outstanding Americans by Choice recognition during a special naturalization ceremony.Sincethe historic vaccine shot, Dr. Lindsay has worked tirelessly to spread a message to eliminate vaccine hesitancy in the U.S. and abroad. Last March, Dr. Lindsay met with the President of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Abdulla Shahid, about the importance of vaccinating citizens of underserved nations. Last year, Northwell Health and Dr. Lindsay donated items from the historic day to the Smithsonian Institute, including her vaccination record card, scrubs, employee identification badge and the now-empty Pfizer-BioNTech vial, along with other items. Other Northwell Health team members have been to the White House this past year; the Northwell Health Nurse Choir sang during the “In Performance at The White House: Spirit of the Season” televised special.

Lenny’s family and friends celebrate his life, his dedicated service to his hometown, his strong work ethic, and his deep commitment to unselﬁshly supporting and enhancing the lives of his wife and children. His sons are heartbroken and forever grateful for his unconditional love and support. Lenny was born and reared in Great Neck along with 12 siblings including his dear and identical twin George (1927–2016) with whom he shared many signiﬁcant life experiences. Lenny moved to Ocala in 2009 and lived in the same neighborhood as his surviving brother Ronnie (Joan) and sister Dorothy (1929–2009). Throughout the years in Ocala, Lenny and Ronnie were in nearly daily contact by phone or visits. During the last three years of his life, Lenny received loving, personal care and friendly companionship from his nurse, Kareen Superville. Her presence and kindness has been a blessing to the family. Lenny and George were inseparable throughout their lives: in their younger years working together on the family farm; serving together in the US Navy; founding and working together as master plumbers (M & P Plumbing & Heating) serving Great Neck for over 45 years; and serving and supporting Great Neck and Nassau County for over 70 years as active members of the Alert Fire Company (“Alerts”).

He also served for many years on the Alerts Board of Trustees and as Chairman of the Board. In addition, he served as President of the Eighth Battalion Past Chiefs Association and as Chairman of the Nassau County Fire Commission. Lenny was honored as the Schaeffer Fireman of the Year and participated in the authorization and implementation of the new Alert Fire House that continues to serve Great Neck Joan worked at the US Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point, for over 30 years, operating the post office and running her travel business. Lenny and Joan’s hard work and sacrifice provided their sons opportunity to graduate college and pursue successful careers in engineering and finance/ information technology respectively.
