What can one individual do in the face of such gigantic humanitarian needs? Not much, admitted Neil Smith of Flower Hill, who visited Poland twice this year to help out in any way he could. But the collective efforts of individuals, charitable agencies and governments can accomplish a lot. “I had never been to Poland in my life before this year, and only once have I ever been to Eastern Europe,” he said in an interview. “It was hard to watch the human suffering on television every night and feel helpless to do something about it. So, I decided to go to help.” He added, “I took a month of unpaid leave and I decided that I just wanted to help. This was the start of [the Russian attack on] Mariupol and the villages were being bombed. You were beginning to hear about some of the atrocities. I went without knowing a single person in Poland and managed to establish quite a network. I got to know the U.S. Ambassador [Mark Brzezinski] pretty well.”
Ambassador involved,” he said. Thanks to his friend Jonathan David LaPook, the Mineola-born CBS New chief medical correspondent, Smith found an expert to train the staff and the refugees on the warning signs of human trafficking. Security at the Center was also dramatically improved, thanks to the presence of FBI agents, he “Anothernoted.project was to have a website in English so that people can learn how the cen ter is helping and donate right there if they wish to, without going through any charities or middlemen. The money goes straight to the center,” he said. Donate at www.poland4you.org. Road To Poland Smith emigrated from the United Kingdom in 1982, having spent several years as a journalist for the BBC. “In 1992, I went to business school for a couple years, and joined a management consulting firm in New York,” Smith related. “I went back to England for a couple years to do my own thing, including opening a Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream facility there. Then I ran my own businesses for about 20 years before retiring too early, and rejoined a consulting company.”Smithworks for one of the major firms, preferring not to name it. He is quick to add that he never got near the border with Ukraine, as Warsaw is about 150 miles away. In addition to the ambassador, Smith got to meet U.S. Speaker Nancy Pelosi and stayed at the same hotel. She was there with a Democratic delegation, including NYC Congressman Gregory Meeks. “They actually spent a couple of days in Ukraine and a day in Poland,” Smith said. “Nancy was very interested to learn what was happening to the refugees. I spent some time with her immediately before she had breakfast with the Polish President [Andrzej Duda]. I was able to burn her ear a little bit as she wanted to know how the refugees were doing and what was happening in Poland.” Smith said he was most “struck by the kindness of the Polish people as much as anything because when I landed back in March, there were 1.6 million refugees—2.6 million had arrived and 1.6 million had remained. And you did not see any of them on the streets, so the Polish people had actually taken them in into their homes. And I think this is going to be one of the great untold stories of this war. The kindness of the Polish people.” He added, “That was something I don’t think at that stage the West had fully grasped. So [Pelosi] was really intrigued to find out aboutSmiththat.”noted how the 6,000 refugees at the Global Expo Center was a tiny fraction of the total, “but you realize you have to serve 18,000 meals a day. You have to have COVID testing. You’ve got to have fully working showers that offer privacy—and that’s just for 6,000. So you can imagine what an operation it is to incorporate 1.6 million people into the country. Another million went on to other European“Ukrainecountries.”hasgone quiet, but it still exists,” he pointed out, as media coverage of the conflict has diminished. Orphans And Refugees Of his second trip to Poland, which took place in June, Smith observed, “The refugees are still coming, but they’re coming from the east now, so it’s more of a trickle. There is an organized process in place to receive them and process them now which wasn’t the case early on. It just feels really organized.”
TOP STORY
When he returned to Poland, Smith involved himself in finding a place for 300 orphans. Before departing, he had explored the possibility of some of them coming to the U.S., and had done his research on adoption agencies. Of the number, 180 had come from an orphanage in Ukraine which had been destroyed, and another 120 were picked up along the way. Smith was happy to report that all 300 orphans found homes in the United Kingdom—and of course, he had checked out the adoption agencies. He had also been involved in early negotiations with Japanese authorities about the possibility of that island nation taking in refugees—something it had never done for any crisis in the past. A Japanese businessman Smith cultivated and had dinner with eventually made arrangements for the Japanese government to accept 5,000 refugees. The first ones will be leaving in August. Smith took the initiative in trying to aid a senior refugee at the center to reconnect with his sons, who had wound up in Romania. To his regret, he was unable to do so. He was also involved in finding a puppy for a family who had brought their dog to the center, only to have it die there. These small moments, and many others, moved him, he said. Another project he’s involved with is setting up a school in a warehouse next to the center so that Ukrainian children can receive an education. A number of U.S. organizations are getting involved in building the school. Smith said he hopes that it will be in a position to start in September.
Smith said things are more stable now, with many Ukrainians returning to their country as the Russians concentrate their operations in the eastern part. But authorities expect another influx when the cold weather arrives—many buildings in Ukraine lack heat andManyinsulation.daunting tasks remain in Poland and its neighboring fellow Slavic state. How to finance the 300-odd (his estimate) non-gov ernmental agencies aiding the refugees. How to assimilate such a large group of foreigners without an influx of foreign aid. “The challenge will be finding [the refugees] housing, finding them jobs and education for the kids. And it’s on all three of those aspects that we are continuing to work,” Smith said of his network. Smith has gotten close to the man who runs the refugee center and is plugged into the local political power structure—Cris Szczesny. The Polish national will be making a fundraising tour in this country next month and Smith hopes to set up a benefit and host Szczesny in Manhasset. “The refugees come in via train to Warsaw. They don’t know where to go next, so they get referred to Cris. They’ve escaped from the Donbas region.”
Smith’s daughter Charlotte, 17, accompa nied him on his second trip. She bought street chalk for the young kids to draw on the sidewalk. She is shown at right with a child drawing an American flag.

Doing Something About The Suffering
T he numbers, at their peak, were staggering: 2.6 million Ukrainian refugees, 1.6 million of which wound up in neighboring Poland.
Smith’s efforts were concentrated at the Global Expo Center at Modlinska in Warsaw, which at its peak was the largest such facility in the country. It sheltered about 6,000 refu gees, mostly the elderly, women and children, and Smith said there was a turnover of about 1,000 per week. On his second trip, the center was down to about 2,500 people, and the weekly turnover was in the low hundreds. According to an email he sent to Anton Media Group, “[My] early tasks were as a pair of helping hands to sort out toy donations and to organize the warehouse. But [my] skills were quickly put to the test in other ways—helping the center to become better organized and removing barriers. One of the ways I was able to help was actually through the Canadian embassy. The Canadians moved their biometric [equipment] into the center. It was the first step for refugees getting visas. There were Canadian troops actually policing the center, which was terrific.” Smith said he and his contacts began meeting weekly and continue to do so. They organized a program where 50 doctors and nurses from the United States rotate in and out for a week. “But because of local regulations, they couldn’t practice on Ukrainians in Poland—until I got the visiting Congressional delegation and the U.S.

The woman’s husband told police that he once he arrived home from work, he found the pit bull dragging his wife’s body around the backyard of their home on Terrance Court.Once the police arrived, the dog turned on the responding officer, who promptly fatally shot the dog. Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder confirmed that the dog had been owned by the woman’s stepson. He added that it was unclear why the dog attacked the woman. Meanwhile, an ambulance arrived and pronounced the woman dead at the scene. Neighbors told the media that they never heard noises from the residence as the incident was taking place. Neighbors did say that they remembered the late stepson walking with the dog “with both hands” and that the dog was leading his owner. Police said that they had never received any complaints from neighbors over the pit bull. Gary Rogers, president of the Nassau County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) told the media that such attacks are “very, very rare.” He added that canines are animals with predator instincts and if annoyed oir provoked can act in a violent“Animalsmanner.give you signs,” Rogers said in an interview. “And sometimes you have to assess at that point in time how you are gonna handle that growl or what that dog is doing.

Second Annual 9 and Dine Golf and Dinner event benefits Long Beach-based non-profit
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.

Many Long Islanders have returned to celebrating weddings at catering halls with large crowds.

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.

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.

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.

Meanness Abounds In Washington D.C.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.”
Michael Bublé Is Looking ToTake You Higher
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.

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.

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.

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.
4. Mix and match chairs Gone with the wind, the notion of “matchy match” chairs are now in the rear-view mirror.
Strive for low maintenance. Pair round tables with funky bases.

As an Interior Designer for Safavieh, I have become an avid trend seeker; surfing the internet, working closely with the most cutting- edge manufacturers, and picking the brains of other designers. I have made it my perpetual crusade to stay abreast of hottest design trends year after year. This week, I want to share the latest and greatest dining rooms trends with you.
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?

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.
How To Create The Perfect Outdoor Living (And Work) Room
Assess the backyard and do some basic “clean up.” Fix bare patches in the grass. Use a leaf blower to clean out flower beds. Prune bushes and trees. Cut the grass to a healthy height. Add a fresh layer of mulch around your trees and in flower beds. Freshen up by weeding, planting flower beds, and filling pots with colorful flowers and verdant plants. Use plants and shrubs to hide unsightly items and control noise
—TuffMutt Foundation The outdoor office trend is here to stay.
Create activity zones
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

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.
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.

WRITING THE RAILS
AUGUST 17 - 23, 2022 • ANTON MEDIA GROUP10A FULL RUN
Part Six: Los Angeles
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

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.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Approval-seeking is the death of charisma. Time with those who need constant validation will get tiresome, but you can prevent this emotional dynamic altogether by providing plenty of warmth and acceptance up front. Put people at ease so you can get down to business. ere’s much to learn and do this week.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). e old adage goes, “In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.” It can be challenging to discern exactly what you’re dealing with. Distance yourself from the scene to get a better perspective. Don’t act until you can clearly see the principles in play.

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.

North dealer. Both sides vulnerable. NORTH ♠ 8 3 ♥ A 7 4 2 ♦ K 6 ♣ A K 7 3 2 WEST EAST ♠ A Q J ♠ 6 2 ♥ J 10 6 5 ♥ 9 8 3 ♦ 8 2 ♦ A Q J 9 7 5 ♣ Q J 8 4 ♣ 10 6 SOUTH ♠ K 10 9 7 5 4 ♥ K Q ♦ 10 4 3 ♣ 9 5 The bidding: NorthEast SouthWest 1 ♣ 1 ♦ 1 ♠ 1 NT Pass2 ♦ 2 ♠ Dble Opening lead — eight of diamonds. 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.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In case you were wondering just how badly you want a thing, today will show you. Seeing someone else have it is a huge hint; getting close to having it is another. 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. Your experiences, relationships, skills and challenges are the real treasure you’ll take away regardless of the nal CAPRICORNscore. (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). New adults want to be taken seriously. Longtime adults want to be seen as lighthearted and youthful. e rich want to know they are also good, and the good wish to be also rich. You’ll see an array of situations this week, many of which you’ll sum up immediately with your super talent for reading subtle cues. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t be afraid to ask for more support. It’s a secure feeling to know who will show up for you, promote and help you. Even those who let you down before may surprise and delight you this time around. Don’t give up on anyone. Hearts can grow and change. Give second chances.

• Check your irrigation system for leaks and broken sprinkler heads. You could unknowingly be wasting thousands of gallons of water every month.
AUGUST 17 - 23, 2022 • ANTON MEDIA GROUP10
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.
—Submitted by the Long Island Water Conference
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.
Though 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.
Nationwide Heatwave Brings A Call For Water Conservation
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.
Residents Asked To Aid Pollinators
• 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.
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 and 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.
• 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.
“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.”
