Repeal of ‘antiquated’ abortion provision sparks debate
stensibly, the Aug. 4 public hearing was to discuss removing from the Town of North Hempstead town code an obscure and anachronistic provision governing the locations of what it called “Pregnancy Termination Facilities.”
Deputy Supervisor Joseph Scalero, who presided over the meeting in the absence of Supervisor Jennifer DeSena— who had a long-standing family commitment—had to chide an attendee who tried to interrupt Kaplan while she spoke.Kaplan concluded, “This is a moment for us to steel our resolve and fight for our rights and not back down in the face of extremists in New AssemblymanYork,”Charles Lavine (D–Great Neck) said, “Unfortunately, like it or not, national politics have become state politics. And national politics have become local politics as well. I am very proud to be here this evening with my wife Ronnie, who was a very proud Planned Parenthood volunteer and I will share with you that in the years she worked at the Planned Parenthood Center in Hempstead I worried about her safety every single day she went there, and I worried about the safety of everyone else who worked in that wonderful facility.”
ANTON MEDIA GROUP • AUGUST 31 - SEPTEMBER 6, 2022 3
Lurvey had introduced the local law to eliminate from the code Chapter 41A, introduced in 1971. That summer, just two years before the momentous Roe decision, New York State had decriminalized abortion. The town soon after added to its code the requirement that abortion providers had to be affiliated with a hospital. The code provided for the building department enforcement of the provisions as well as Introducingpenalties.herresolution, Lurvey stated, “The 1971 town code is antiquated and places an undue burden on a woman who may want to terminate her pregnancy, as well as on medical professionals performing the procedure. Those who seek an abortion today are doing so in an increasingly confusing and frightening climate and the Town of North Hempstead does not want our code to contribute to that confusion. Though currently this provision is preempted by state law, we need to make sure that women can access the health care that they need in theShe[town].”continued, “We need to make sure that women continue to be able to access the health care they need, no matter what happens on the state level. In short, the town should not be putting up barriers on a woman’s right to choose. The North Hempstead town board should not have a say on thisHerissue.”remarks elicited cheers and hoots andLurveyapplause.recognized that it was a passionate issue and pleaded for tolerance of differing views. She added that the town had received 51 emails in support of repealing 41A, in cluding ones from North Shore Reconstruc tionist Synagogue Rabbi Lee Friedlander and Cantor Eric Schulmiller. In addition, it had the support of the League of Women Voters of Port Washington-Manhasset and the League of Women Voters of Great Neck, and various members of Hadassah, the women’s Zionist organization.
Pro/Contra Florence Scarinci of Franklin Square called herself “a pro life feminist” and said she belonged to an organization called Feminists Choosing Life of New York. “Contrary to common opinion, pro life people are concerned about the life of the mother as well as the baby,” she affirmed. “I am deeply concerned that the repeal of 41A, which requires an affiliation with a hospital and an operating certificate, will have ramifications for the health of the mother. The certificate ensures that certain requirements are met, and these requirements include that a doctor have admitting rights to a hospital, and that there be a policy and procedures in place for the transfer of women who during an abortion have an untoward episode. We all know that during surgery, anything can happen. It doesn’t matter how well prepared you are or how often the doctor has done the procedure. Things happen. People are allergic to anesthesia. There are undiagnosed bleeding complications and it is imperative that a doctor be able to transfer a woman to a hospital where she
TOP STORY
I’m proud to represent a state that protects a woman’s right to decide what happens to her own body and one that values women and not controls them. A state that also empowers reproductive health care providers, and safeguards them from retaliation. Wom en will travel to New York for health care, and we will protect them. In the last days of our legislative session in June, we passed a series of bills to do just that.” She added, “Now we look to our local municipalities to do the same. I’m thankful that my own Town of North Hempstead is leading the way in this effort with Councilwoman Lurvey’s resolution tonight. I hope that what you’re doing here will encourage other towns to do the same. We have to make sure every loophole is closed and closed tight.”
see ABORTION DEBATE on page 4
The long list of speakers began with NYS Senator Anna Kaplan (D–North Hills), who supported “to day’s resolution repealing a section of the town code that places unlawful barriers between women and the right to have an abortion. This isn’t just about cleaning up an old law. This isn’t just about righting an historical injustice. This is about standing up for women. This is about standing up for our rights to make decisions for ourselves. And this is about sending the message that we will always stand up for women in the Town of North Hempstead.”Aftermentioning “our extremist Supreme Court [overturning] 50 years of established precedent and [stealing] our constitutional right to choose. We’ve all had to learn a tough lesson that we can’t sit back and expect that things will be okay here just because we live in a place where our rights are protected. We’ve seen that there are people who will stop at nothing to assert their control over women’s bodies. And the only people who can stop them are those of us who are willing to stand up and do the right thing.”
As chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, Lavine said he was proud of his role in the adoption of bills that Governor Kathy Hochul signed to protect abortion rights. He recalled from his childhood a classmate who got pregnant in sixth or seventh grade and gave birth to a baby. “That was a world in which children were forced to bear children,” he observed. “There are those today who want to return us to that world. And I pledge this to you. As long as I serve in public office, I will do everything to stop us from returning to that world. “ He affirmed that 41A was a reaction by then-town leaders to the passage of the state’s abortion law, and argued that it should be repealed.
But the town board meeting turned into a passionate debate over that most contentious of issues, abortion, just weeks after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in its Dobbs Councilwomandecision.Veronica
The repeal also had the support of Assem blymember Gina Sillitti (D–Port Washington), stating, “there has been a slow, steady assault on women’s rights across our country. With the recent Supreme Court decision, the courts have said women don’t get to decide what happens with their own bodies. Instead, leaving it in the hands of state legislatures to decide the fate of women.
It Was Much More Than About Zoning
Jim McHugh of New Hyde Park said he was a pharmacist in a Queens hospital and called himself pro life. He said he saw ads in the subways from the governor touting that abortion in the state was “safe, legal and accessible forever.” “I think we can maybe downgrade safe if we eliminate 41A,” McHugh asserted, going on to say that he had closely studied the town zoning and concluded that without that provision, it would lead to a proliferation of clinics unaffiliated with a hospital. He and his wife Bernadette both worked for hospitals, “and they have very stringent procedures and inspection because they’re liable if something goes wrong for women undergoing an abortion procedure with them. And there’s going to be a lawsuit like you wouldn’t believe.” His wife was an expert in hematology and coagulation, and McHugh warned that women are at risk of bleeding during abortionHeprocedures.didnotwant to see North Hempstead become an abortion destination, he said, criticizing the governor for making money available to fund abortions for out-of-state women.Robert Zimmerman of Great Neck dismissed the idea that 41A was unenforceable, stating, “Nothing is guaranteed. Nothing is protected and we can never drop our guard. Especially when it comes to standing up for women’s health, saving women’s lives and women’s personal autonomy.” He decried the assault across the country on women’s freedom and the LGBTQ+ community “and so many other segments of our society by extremists in our legislatures and courts. The reason it’s so important to repeal Chapter 41A is because laws change, courts change, governments change. We all know too well that laws can be modified and governments change and all of a sudden, Chapter 41A can be used as it was intentionally originally, to harass women to make it more difficult for women to seek counseling and health care. That’s why it was all put in place in the first place, to undermine state law, to make it more difficult for women to have reproductive rights, abortion rights and personal access to abortion care.”
I hope that what you’re doing here will encourage other towns to do the same. We have to make sure every loophole is closed and closed tight.
AUGUST 31 - SEPTEMBER 6, 2022 • ANTON MEDIA GROUP4 can be seen immediately. That is a life-saving procedure. Why you want to repeal 41A is beyond me. I find that it’s a safety net for a woman having an abortion.” Scarinci was afraid that the repeal of the law, along with the state being “open” for abortion and drawing women from states where there are total abortion bans, will result in a proliferation of unsupervised clinics in the town. “New York State prides itself on protecting women’s reproductive health. How does repealing this provision serve and protect women’s reproductive health?” Florence wondered, arguing that it makes abortions less safe and less rare.
Jay Randolph Hunbertmark called himself a longtime resident of the Town of North Hempstead and said, “I’m here to voice my opposition to the repeal of chapter 41A. I believe it is vital for the health and safety of the women of the Town of North Hempstead. I think it is incumbent upon the town that they ensure that [facilities] have the proper equipment and expertise to address emergencies and situations that might arise from this procedure. I think it’s also incumbent upon the town to protect our future fellow citizens who may be born alive during this procedure, and that [facilities] y also have the expertise and equipment necessary to save their lives.”
Karen Seltzer, town resident and the board chair of Planned Parenthood of Greater New York, said, “We are in a moment of crisis in this country. On June 24, the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade, ending almost 50 years of precedent, the constitutionally protected abortion care. This decision highlights that the right to abortion is not safe. Chapter 41A is confusing and misleading, and I’m told unenforceable. The Town of North Hempstead should not be putting up any barriers to people seeking essential health care and abortion is essential. We’ve seen the immediate and devastating impact this decision has had across the country. In many places, confusion and fear of prosecution have forced clinicians to limit patient access to life-saving abortion care. Here in New York, thanks to our state legislature, abortion remains legally accessible. State laws pertaining to abortion are now part of the public health law in New York, and they preempt any town code. As more states move to restrict abortion, we must be ready to welcome all of those who traveled to our state for care while also supporting those in need of care in our communities. Please vote to rescind this code and take a stand in support of access to abortion care.” Councilman Robert Troiano, after the last speaker, moved that the hearing on the proposed law be continued at the Sept. 1 town board meeting because he felt that not everyone had been heard on the topic. Republican trustees Dennis Walsh and David Adhami objected and wanted to vote that night, but they were outvoted. DeSena, in a statement, said, “Although I was unfortunately unable to be there in person for the public hearing due to a long-standing prior family commitment, I support the repeal of this chapter and would have voted yes for it, as it brings North Hempstead’s town code into conformity with state law, and removes a chapter of our code which is unenforceable and superseded by the New York Public Health Law.”
ABORTION from page 3
Lauren Garfinkel of Port Washington attended on behalf of National Council of Jewish Women, and said, “I would like it to be put on the record that we also support the repeal of this law. It’s really important to note that 93 percent of abortions happen before 13 weeks of pregnancy. As [Jim McHugh] said earlier, the further into pregnancy an abortion happens, the more likelihood there is a complication. Only 6 percent occur between 14 and 20 weeks and only 1 percent after that. What [41A} would do if it were in effect, is place an undue burden on pregnant people who can only get to this one or two hospital-affiliated clinics.” She went on to assert that abortion, “when provided by professionals who have practiced it for many, many years, as most abortion healthcare professionals I know have, is a very, very safe procedure, as safe as going for oral surgery, many of which are very often performed outside of a hospitalGarfinkelsetting.”added, “I would just like to say that in the religion of Judaism, as I am an observant Jewish woman, abortion is permitted and sometimes required if the health of the pregnant person is at stake. And that’s not just the physical health, the mental and emotional health are important as well. And we believe that this does not only extend to Jews, but this extends to all people because the dignity of all people is what is paramount. I would like to just state that because of this very important religious freedom issue, the Town of North Hempstead should align with the State of New York and the expanded access that the governor has provided. Get rid of this antiquated law and bring democracy back to the Ninapeople.”Gordon argued against the necessity of hospital affiliation, asserting, “I believe there has been an operating abortion clinic in North Hempstead, probably one of the longest operating ones in New York State that is not affiliated with the hospital. There are countless places where medical procedures are performed out of a hospital and this has been the case for many many years. So I just want to debunk all of those claims that it is necessary to be in a hospital. And I also want to offer a personal story about my abortion because my abortion was in a hospital and it was a horrible experience. It was a medical abortion in 1981. So hospitals are not always the best answer. I’ve seen great care in hospitals. And I’ve seen horrible care in Shehospitals.”added, “I think that as Assemblyman Lavine said earlier, times change, things have changed. Fifty years ago, when Roe v Wade was passed, we didn’t have abortions available through medication, they were all surgical procedures. So I think we need to move forward with the times and I applaud Councilwoman Lurvey for bringing this forward. And I think we all need to take a deep breath and remember that this legislation is not about pro life or pro choice. This is about removing the restrictions on a medical procedure and bringing it in line with the rest of medical procedures and 2022.”
DEBATE
Pharmacist Jim McHugh, during his comments, touched on the debate of when life is viable, stating, “Anybody see the first baby picture? It’s a level four sonogram. It’s like a photograph. You cannot deny there’s a human life there now. It’s a photograph. You can see it at 18 weeks, not 24.” This photo shows an embryo at 9 to 10 weeks. (Lunar Caustic | CC BY 2.0)

The Great Neck Water Pollution Control District (GNWPCD) is a special commissioner-run district within the Town of North Hempstead. The GNWPCD has provided sewage services for the Great Neck area since 1914, and currently serves more than 25,000 residents and businesses in the villages of Great Neck, Saddle Rock, Kensington, and those parts of Thomaston and Great Neck Plaza east of Middle Neck Road; as well as all unincorporated areas north of the Long Island Railroad and a part of Manhasset. The GNWPCD’s mission is to protect human health, our bays and the environment. —Submitted by the Great Neck Water Pollution Control District GNWPCD Commissioner Steve Reiter, left, and Superintendent Christopher Murphy, right, provided Deputy Executive Director of the Long Island Regional Planning Council Elizabeth Cole with in-depth information on district operations and chief priorities during their tour of the GNWPCD treatment facility.

New York State Senator Anna M. Kaplan (D-North Hills) declared victory Tuesday night in the Democratic primary for the 7th Senate District, which includes the North Shore of Nassau County. Having decisively won the primary, Kaplan will now go on to face a Republican opponent in the general election this November. Senator Anna M. Kaplan said “I’m so humbled by the incredibly strong support my neighbors have shown for me in this race, and as we look ahead to the November general election, I’m eager to continue the work of bringing our community together to fight back against the rising tide of hate and extremism that’s desperate ly trying to take this seat away from us. At a time when a radical Supreme Court has demonstrated that they’re willing to overturn even the most sensible federal protections, we can’t afford to let extremist Republicans anywhere near the reins of power in our State government where they can continue their assault on wom en’s rights, common-sense gun safety reforms, and our American democracy.”

About the GNWPCD
OBITUARIES to discuss all of it with the Long Island Regional Planning Council.” One of the District’s chief priorities discussed throughout the afternoon was an upcoming upgrade to its Piccadilly Pump Station and Force Main. The upgrades will serve as the final step to combining newly annexed sanitary sewer lines within the Village of Great Neck with the District’s already existing infrastructure. This will allow the District to centralize pumping within one location on the western side of the Peninsula. Along with upgrades to seven other pump stations, these projects will help the District save $13 million in costs of replacing multiple cross-Peninsula pipelines and allow the conversion of over 1,000 new homes now using septic systems. The GNWPCD discussed the various upgrades that have re cently been made at its treatment facility. These included upgrades to the District’s three anaerobic digesters, the addition of a third microturbine and the establish ment of the Grease Receiving Station, which was completed last year. All of these projects not only do a great deal to allow the GNW PCD to better service its commu nity, but they also help taxpayers save money.

“Our victory tonight proves that when Democrats stand together and fight together, we deliver results. George Santos and his radical anti-women, anti-civil rights agenda represent the opposite of everything I have stood for in my life and everything that defines our country.

The family of Ronald Joseph Hayes of Bethpage was on hand as the deceased veteran was recognized via the Flags of Our Heroes part of the Honor Flight program. Hayes’ portrait was taken to the capital on the Honor Flight and posed before the Vietnam War Memorial. In the background is Honor Flight board member and emcee Jeff Rosenking.
The premise of Honor Flight is simple: provide a no-cost, one-day trip to Washington, DC, for veterans of WWII, Korea and Vietnam to visit the various war memorials.HonorFlight Long Island (HFLI) is the local chapter of the national organization that has flown more than 245,000 veterans to the capital. The latest trip it sponsored took place in June. Earlier this month, the 38 veterans gathered at the American Airpower Museum in Farmingdale to be recognized. According to HFLI President Bill Jones, a 1972 graduate of West Point and U.S. Army veteran, “This special flight included 37 Vietnam-era veterans who received long overdue recognition and thanks for their military service. They were accompanied on this flight by one elder comrade, a WWII veteran of the ‘Greatest Generation.’ What this flight represented was a ‘Big Hug’ to all our veterans from Honor Flight, their families and supporters who make such flightsHFLIpossible.”boardmember Jeff Rosenking served as emcee for the event, in which every veteran who made the trip was gifted a Tribute Journal commemorating the day in pictures. Rosenking read out the biographies that the veterans provided.
Suffolk County Veterans Service Agency Director Thomas Ronayne, a Navy veteran, noted that the two Long Island counties rep resented one of the largest concentrations of veteran populations in the United States. He addressed the veterans sitting on either side of him, stating that the country could never repay the debt it owed them and offered his gratitude and thanks. “While the majority of us do come home intact, physically and psychologically and emotionally, many of our comrades come home and we bring our wars home with us... and the truth is that our service lives within us for the rest of our lives,” Ronayne said. He concluded, “Gatherings like this, in places like this, for reasons like this are just incredibly important things,” going on encourage attendees to approach one of the veterans—especially ones they didn’t know—and give them a handshake and thankNassauthem.”County Legislator Tom McKevitt (R–East Meadow) recalled visiting a replica of the Vietnam War Memorial Wall erected in Eisenhower Park. He watched as a visitor approached a panel, touched it, stepped back and saluted.

State Senator John Brooks (D–Seaford), who chairs the Veterans Affairs Committee and is a Navy veteran, also spoke. He noted how little respect Vietnam veterans received when they re turned from that unpopular war. He asserted that they served honorably and with dignity, but were victims of politicians’ misguided policies. “These guys are absolute heroes. We can never make up to them how we treated them, but no one could have served this nation better,” Brooks concluded. Rosenking said that if there were mistakes in the journals, they would be fixed. Someone called out, “I look old. Can you make me look younger?” to laughter and the emcee replied, “We don’t do miracles, but we’ll try.” Visit www.honorflightlongisland.org for more information on applying for a future flight and supporting HFLI.

Congestion Pricing Would Cost Nassau Commuters Thousands More Annually
COLUMNS When poor folks in ancient Rome were not represented well by Roman landowners (patricians), they held their own separate elections to choose representatives called “tribunes.” Tribunes made laws for the common people until such time as the patricians recognized them as a branch of the legisla ture. The same thing happened in England with the rise of the house of “commons.” Being a tribune or a repre sentative of the commons in a democracy was a badge of great honor and newspapers try to memorialize that tradition. Tribunes and members of parliament helped make laws that sustained democracy for hundreds of years. One of those laws was hard labor sentences for criminals. Democracy throughout time has wanted and needed everyone to participate and so has always taken strong measures to bring wayward folks back into the fold. This country long used penal hard labor to rehabili tate offenders. But then, after World War II, America turned super-soft on crime and totally disinterested in rehabilitating prisoners.It’stime to bring the fallen and lost among us back into the fold as good citizens. Maybe a tribune or two will stand up in the legislature and a newspaper or two will raise a voice to get the ball rolling. Kimball Shinkoskey

The MTA recently released its environmental analysis of the proposed Congestion Pricing Plan that would affect drivers entering Manhattan below 60th Street. The analysis suggests tolls could be as high as $23 for drivers in cars ($34.50 if they don’t have an EZPASS), and $82 for trucks. For an average commuter driving to the office five days a week, this means paying over $800 a month or almost $10,000 more per year, It is unacceptable. These tolls will also affect deliveries of goods and services, contractors, taxis, and ride share vehicles, as well as those who are already paying a bridge or tunnel toll. Stunningly, every Democrat in Nassau’s State Senate and Assembly delegations voted for this outrageous tax on their own residents.Thisplan is simply a $1 billion a year tax directly on the backs of suburban commuters to financial ly rescue the MTA from its own incompetence and mismanage ment. Nassau is already one of the highest taxed counties in the nation and with inflation and gas

Pool Running In The Hazy Summertime COLUMNS
Pool running is a zero impact exercise that is fabulous for injured runners. It’s an excellent cross-training exercise that uses the same muscles as running on land. Although one should optimally run in the deep end of a pool, one can obtain the same effect by purchasing a water belt or Aquajogger to stay afloat. It is important to keep your heart rate up and your strides more like marching than running. Pool jogging requires good form as well, with a focus on smaller strides to prevent hamstring injuries. Pool or water running burns about 1112 calories per minute, so a half hour’s work will burn about 350 calories for a 150-pound person. (Take THAT, chocolate bar!) For the record, an Aquajogger on Amazon costs about $42. It’s useful, but it isn’t necessary. As temperatures ramp up yet again during this drier-than-usual Summer 2022, I challenge you to try pool jogging to stay cool and get your exercise, too. Your endurance and fitness will be challenged, your heart rate will increase without putting weight and strain on your joints and you will stay cool in the process. Believe me, it’s one of my favorite exercises. In time, I think it will be yours,Enjoytoo.the rest of your summer.

SEE YOU AROUND THE TOWN Patty Servidio prices continuing to soar, we are now facing being taxed to go to work, to medical appointments or even just enjoy a day with family and friends in New York City. The end result will be more taxes and higher consumer prices. With public transit crime up 58 percent since last year, commuters don’t feel safe, making driving their only alternative to get to work. In 2022 alone, numerous people have been pushed in front of trains, including acts of hate crimes. Incidents on the subway, including the shooting in Sunset Park earlier in the year, have brought the subway’s lack of safety to the forefront. The MTA’s plan to economically compel the use of public transit, effectively forces commuters to put their lives at Albanyrisk.lawmakers need to stop making it impossible for residents in the suburbs to survive. We are being taxed out of New York and “Congestion Pricing” is Albany’s latest attack on our way of life. Let’s not forget the attempt by Gov. Hochul earlier this year to sneak a proposal into the state budget to effectively end suburban single-family zoning across the state by usurping local zoning laws. Fortunately, elected officials throughout Long Island and other suburban communities came together in condemning this proposal. It was stalled, but that doesn’t mean it won’t resurface in the Thisfuture.fundamentally underhanded and undemocratic maneuver is exactly how former Governor Cuomo and the state legislature passed their disastrous cashless bail law, which has wreaked havoc on our criminal justice system and allowed violent repeat offenders to roam our streets and make our communities lessI’vesafe.created a petition opposing this oppressive congestion pricing plan.

The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer are upon us. Stores have been selling school supplies since early July, much to the chagrin of school kids and teachers everywhere. Although most retailers prefer to rush the seasons, for some reason, this summer has been more than a bit of a blur. Our girl, who had been working at a charter in Roosevelt, left to advance her career. Currently, Hubby and I are housing her entire classroom in my basement, which has been quite the challenge. We asked her recently to weed through the dozens of boxes to evaluate what else she might need for the upcoming year at her new school. We’re thrilled for her, as she reeled in a wonderful opportunity as a kindergarten educator in the city. This is the child who adored rides on the train, thrilled at the prospect of shopping in the greatest city in the world. It hasn’t been lost on me that she nailed a job in her favorite spot on the planet. Hubby and I have scaled back our hiking and walking because of the heat. MS and skyrocketing temperatures do not mix well, so we have begun our yearly tradition of “pool jogging” while skimming the pool simultaneously. Hubby’s calves have increased in definition so much so that the other day, I called out to him, “Hey, Legs! Where are you going with that man?” Even the doctor took notice of the hard work that we’ve done in the pool this summer. Our BMI index has decreased, our weight has decreased, and our overall muscle mass has improved vastly. “Whatever it is that you’re doing,” our doctor quipped with a smile, “keep it up.” Hubby lost 25 pounds since the beginning of pool season, thanks to his walking regime and intermittent fasting. I’m so proud of him. Our daughter was trained at an early age to “pool jog”, back when she was in her first year at Hicksville Middle School. Every summer, she looked forward to “running in the pool”, especially as the temperatures soared. I’ll never forget the time we were running in the pool on an overcast afternoon, worried that we would be caught in a down pour. When the skies opened, we couldn’t see in front of us and we laughed for all we were worth, es pecially as my daughter moaned, “Ugh! We’re going to get wet!” I quipped, “We are ALREADY wet!” We continued our “jog” and laughed the entire time. This past week, our daughter took her vacation in Delaware with her boyfriend’s family. The steamy weather meant daily dips in the pool were a requirement. One morning, her boyfriend’s aunt stepped out on the porch to join our girl. She stared at her quizzically and asked, “What are you doing?” Daughter, pool skimmer in hand, replied, “Running in the pool. It’s great exercise!” Because of a recent back injury, she has scaled back on running and has been marching in the pool to prevent re-injury.

A good way to determine whether it’s too hot for a walk: Test the pavement with your own hand. If you can’t put your hand down on the pavement for three to five seconds, you shouldn’t walk your dog on it.

It’s Saturday afternoon. Your weather app reads 105 degrees. Your dog is staring at you expectantly, hoping for a walk. What do you do? Step away from the leash, said Sarah Carotenuto, an assistant professor of practice in the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine. It might be the so-called “dog days” of summer, but summertime is not the time to be out and about with your four-legged friend. “Dogs don’t sweat like we do. They have very limited ability to dissipate heat, so they’re more prone to overheating than we are,” said Carotenuto, who has worked as an emergency vet for 15 years. “Certainly, we wouldn’t go out in a fur coat and exercise, but that’s exactly what we’d be asking them to do.” When the temperature rises, so does the risk for heat stroke, which can be extremely dangerous for dogs.
Make a splash Backyard sprinklers or kiddie pools can provide lots of fun for water-loving pups. A regular garden hose can work, too, with one caveat: Some dogs like to snap at the water, which can result in them ingesting too much.
If you have a full-size backyard pool and your dog loves to swim, that can be a great exercise option as well. But not all dogs are swimmers, so make sure you know your dog’s abilities before allowing your pup in the pool. And just like kids, dogs should never be left unsupervised in or around the water. It’s also important to make sure your dog has an easy way to climb in and out of the pool. For added safety, doggie life vests in various sizes can be purchased from pet retailers.

Speaking of hot pavement, burns on paw pads are among the most common heat-related injuries sustained by dogs. “On average, the pavement is 40 to 60 degrees hotter than the ambient air temperature, so if the temperature is 100 degrees, the pavement is going to be 160 degrees,” Carotenuto said. “Pads are made for walking, but not on that heat. When the paw pads burn, they slough off. Imagine walking around on raw feet that have no protection; it’s excruciatingly painful.” If there’s no way to avoid having your dog on the pavement during the day, protective footwear is a must. Slip-on silicone booties, which also can be found at pet retailers, are real paw savers. And while it sometimes takes dogs a while to adjust to wearing them, they’ll get used to it.

Pupsicle Starter Kit: Make your own healthy treats
In many communities, canine day care facilities offer indoor playgrounds where pups can run around and interact with other dogs. Some even have swimming pools and indoor agility courses. Dog owners can pay to drop off their pooches for a few hours of supervised, air-conditioned exercise. Search for facilities that separate dogs by size.

“Heat stroke is like cooking an egg,” Carotenuto said. “Once the body temperature gets over 109 degrees, it’s like an egg white: You put it in the pan and it cooks and becomes white. And it’s really hard, if not impossible, to get that egg white to go back to the liquid sate. That’s what happens in the body when dogs get overheated to the point of 109; their proteins basically start to cook. It’s very, very, very dangerous, and it’s super hard to have dogs come back from that.” But just because it’s hot outside doesn’t mean your dog has to be cooped up and bored all day. After all, exercise is beneficial for your dog’s mental and physical health. “Things to engage the mind and engage the body are good for all species,” Carotenuto said. “Without that, we may see dogs develop repetitive behaviors, similar to zoo animals pacing back and forth in their enclosures, or destructive behaviors, like chewing the couch or pawing at the wall or barking at the door incessantly and driving the neighbors crazy. It’s really important to engage both the mind and the body to prevent those sort of behaviors from developing.” Carotenuto offered the following tips for making sure your dog is getting safe exercise and mental stimulation in the summer months.
Tossing a ball indoors, investing in indoor puzzle toys for dogs, or playing hide-andseek with favorite toys or treats are some simple and fun options to engage dogs mentally and physically. Many dogs, like their feline counterparts, also like chasing laser pointers. She encourages people to “think like a zookeeper” to come up with creative indoor activities.
While extreme heat isn’t safe for any dog, some breeds are more sensitive than others. “There are a couple of breeds that you have to be really careful with during the summer, and those are flat-faced dogs—anything like a pug, a Shih Tzu, a French bulldog, an English bulldog—all of those dogs have even more trouble dissipating heat because of their anatomy,” Carotenuto said. “Arctic breeds—basically anything that was meant to be a sled dog—also tend to have a bit more trouble because they have a really thick undercoat that helps retain heat.” Research the specific breed of your dog to better understand how they might be affected.
We figured it was inevitable that we would at some point, so why wait for that? It was really horrible. You have to be evacuated and everything in the freezer was rotten because the electricity was turned off. It was horrible.

Far from being a blues purist, Musselwhite’s musical curiosity has made for some odd creative bedfellows and led to his being prominently featured playing the harmonica solo on the 1990 INXS hit “Suicide Blonde” along with recording and touring with Cyndi Lauper on the latter’s 2010 outing Memphis Blues. This wondermentmusicalhasoccasionallybledintoMusselwhite’sownwork,mostnotablyon1999’s Continental Drifter, a project that found him throwing Tex-Mex into the mix along in addition to joining forces with Cuba’s Cuarteto Patria. At other times, he’s jammed with Brazilian forró musicians, despite their only speaking Portuguese. He traces that creative curiosity back to his days of seeking sounds growing up in “EverMemphis.sinceIwas a kid in Memphis going around looking for blues records and ‘78s, anything else that looked interesting I’d get that too,” he said. “They were only a nickel or a dime. I discovered a lot of music that I ordinarily wouldn’t have heard because you wouldn’t hear it on the radio. Stuff like Greek, Indian and flamenco music. I was able to expose myself to music from other cultures at an early age. Even though it wasn’t blues, I could tell it had a spirit to it that was similar to blues. When you listen to flamenco, man, it sure enough sounds like blues in a way.
I came to the conclusion that all around the world, every culture has this music of lament. There’s a guy on the corner singing about how his baby left him in every corner of the world. That’s music from the heart. I discovered that you can play with anybody that plays from the heart, even if you can’t speak the same language.”

I remember walking out my front door and the ash was just falling like snow. It ain’t gonna go away. It’s going to get worse.” With the pandemic forcing Musselwhite to stay in one place (“I’ve been on the road for over 50 years, so it was a nice break for me. I didn’t miss my suitcase at all”), he started hanging out at friend Gary Vincent’s nearby studio, noodling around on guitar. Before long, Vincent was hitting RECORD, drummer Ricky Martin and upright bassist Barry Bays were recruited and Mississipi Son was the result. “We started recording some of these tunes that I’d been doing for a long time and at some point, we realized that it could be an album,” Musselwhite said. “It was kind of an accident.”Theslow-as-molasses tempo on the album is languid and made all the more so by Musselwhite’s laconic vocal phrasing, which is goosed along by his equally loose strumming and harp blowing. The record doesn’t so much rock out as much as it oozes along from the openerself-penned“BluesUptheRiver”andcou-pletslike“I’lldrinkmuddywateruntilI’vehadenough” which brings to mind images of the mighty Mississippi, to a reading of Guy Clark’s “The Dark,” whose stark tempo is reminiscent of Musselwhite’s old friend and mentor John Lee Hooker, who is immortalized by a version of “Crawling King Snake” that is perfectly arranged as a loose shuffle.
“I remember as a little kid we lived on a street and then there was woods and in it there was a creek,” he recalled. “On the other side of the creek, there were fields where people would work in them. I remember as a little kid, laying on the shady side of the creek, cooling off and listening to people singing work songs in the field. I remember listening to those songs and while I liked a lot of different kinds of music, this music sounded like how I felt.”
In an age of performers making their name as Instagram influencers and TikTok flavors-of-the month, Charlie Musselwhite is the equivalent of a land line—steady, reliable and a link to the past. Born in Mississippi and raised in Memphis, the septuagenerian musician has spent a career dating back to his 1967 debut Stand Back! Here Comes Charley Musselwhite’s Southside Band being a blues standard-bearer. It’s a journey that continues on the recently released Mississippi Son, a stripped-down collection of 14 songs featuring the harmonica player singing and picking up a guitar to present a mix of originals and nuggets originally recorded by an array of storied names including Yank Rachell, The Stanley Brothers and Charley Patton. It’s Musselwhite’s first solo outing since moving back to Clarksdale, MS, about a year-and-a-half ago from the tiny Northern California community of Geyserville. Climate change was the impetus behind the harp player and his wife/manager Henrietta Musselwhite pulling up stakes and moving back to the Delta. “This is where I’m from and I had a home here,” he explained. “We were having the fires every year. The last time, we could see it coming. If the wind burnedhavewechanged,hadn’tmightgottenout.
• Fake Scholarships, Grants or Loans: The required paperwork to apply for financial aid is the FAFSA form and it’s completely free. Visit FAFSA’s government’s website (studentaid.gov) directly and don’t believe anyone who offers guarantees or pre-approvals for loans or grants.
• Fake Employment or Internship Offers: Never pay an upfront fee to move forward in an interview process or provide too much personal information, such as your Social Security Number, during the application or interview process.
Social media is a great place to connect with friends or catch up with the latest viral trend but remember to save some secrets for yourself. Social media posts often reveal sensitive information unintentionally. Cybercriminals look for content that can reveal answers to security questions used to reset passwords, making accounts vulnerable to identity theft. Avoid downloading free music, games, or apps. Free downloads come with a price—identity theft. Often the free apps, music and games are tainted with keystroke logging malware. Avoid using public WiFi and computers to shop online and pay bills. Monitor privacy settings on all online accounts. Before you get rid of your old laptop or smartphone, protect your data so it doesn’t end up in the hands of an identity thief.
• Check for working sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers. Most at risk are those staying in off-campus housing, where these systems are not regulated by the university.
• Keep all personal identifiable information private. Whether it’s in a dorm room, online, or in any social situation, keep all information and documents containing personal information private and securely guarded. Personally identifiable information is information that, when used alone or with other relevant data, can identify a person.

New York is home to nearly 300 higher education institutions—the second highest in the nation. Incoming students have many decisions to make at the start of the academic year and while making choices independently is exciting, dealing with new situations can be challenging. Whether living away from home for the first time, navigating financial aid, or building credit, students have ample opportunities to get scammed. The New York State Division of Consumer Protection (DCP) provides guidance on how to start this new academic year safely with targeted scam prevention and safety tips that can help during this transition.
Postsecondary Student Scams
• Locate the nearest emergency exits. Make note of where to go if there is an emergency.
• Buying Books Online: Scam artists set up fake websites and offer great deals on expensive textbooks only to never deliver the textbooks leaving the student out of cash and with no textbook. Learn how to identify fake websites listings for textbooks and supplies. Before you buy, do your research, and confirm it’s a reputable source. Pay attention to contact information and return policies. Legitimate sites provide a physical address and working phone number in the contact section.
• Never overload outlets with too many demands for power to prevent fires. Students with laptops, televisions, mini-refrigerators, and more can overload the outlet and spark a fire.
• Review the emergency plan in case of fire or a carbon monoxide leaks. Ensure all those residing in the room know where to meet and what to do if there is an emergency. Remember to call 911 in case of any emergency and follow safety protocol. Visit www.dos.ny.gov/consumerprotection to learn more.
• Understand the consequences. Higher education students are at great risk of identity theft, but you can minimize these risks by protecting yourself and keeping your information private. It’s important that you understand the consequences of identity theft. Criminals can use your personal information to build a fake identity and open new accounts or loans under your name. Restoring credit and correcting false information can be a costly and lengthy process so it’s best to prevent it before it happens.
• Roommate/Rental Scam: Scammers pose as an individual selling or renting a property or as someone on behalf of a property owner. Potential renters are then solicited for money in exchange for promises that the homes will be shown to them or rented to them upon completion of payment. The scam is realized when there is no home for sale, or the property is already occupied.
Identity theft protection:
• Credit Cards: If applying for a credit card for the first time, do your own research. Students are often targeted with misleading credit card offers that could be a veiled attempt at identity theft or may charge exorbitant annual fees and interest rates.
Practice Online Safety
—New York State Division of Consumer Protection
• Locate the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms within your dorm or off-campus housing. Verify or obtain assurances that all alarms are in proper working order. Participate in any needed safety demonstrations on campus.
For those living on campus this fall, there are safety precautions to keep in mind, especially for first-time residential students. Fires are one of the biggest hazards.
• Unpaid Tuition Scam: Ignore calls claiming that you’ll be dropped from all classes unless you pay tuition immediately over the phone. Always call the school bursar’s office directly to verify your account status. Schools generally send an invoice to alert students of account status.

Suggest an activity—going for ice cream, shooting hoops, catching a movie—no one size fits all. Initiate the conversation while you’re out together. Your child may be relieved to talk about their fears, temp tations, what they don’t know, and what they can’t handle on their own. Don’t let it stop there. Make time for regular informal or planned family time. It’s comforting to a child to know there’s a caring parent to support them, whether they want it or not. Equally important is articulating your expectations and bound aries. Don’t believe that children don’t like structure, no matter what they say. Households are different, as are parenting styles, but whatever a family’s make-up, income level, cultural or ethnic background, the adults must be willing to hear what the child in their care has to say and offer a level of acceptance to help that child embrace their unique identity.
FCA’s first focus is on harm-reduction and safety. You cannot force a child to act a certain way, but you can educate them to make good choices within that framework to help keep them safe. FCA does not come from an absti nence-only model or sit-in judgement.

If you find condoms in your child’s room, for example, don’t remove them—that’s taking away their health and safety. Use the discovery to acknowledge their responsible behavior, and as an avenue to an open-minded discussion. Many kids experiment with pot and alcohol. Engaging in these behaviors doesn’t generally lead to addiction, so try to avoid extreme reactions. Keep communication open, be a good listener. You don’t have to navigate childrearing
The organization’s commitment is to educate and encourage discourse on ways to stay safe and healthy in body and mind.
Family & Children’s Association (FCA), one of Long Island’s oldest and largest health and human services organizations, has been helping parents and children cope with challenges from anxiety to peer pressure to truancy, sexual activity and drug use, offering communication strategies, support, intervention and counseling. Most services are free, low cost or covered by insurance. No one is turned away for inability to pay. While ev ery family situation is unique, supportive techniques have universal applications. Parents are the first line of defense against negative behaviors in their chil dren. Effective parenting skills practiced early and often yield the most success but it’s never to late to start. Whether you’re a parent or a profes sional, it’s difficult to initiate conver sations about sex, drug use, and other activities. Acknowledging your discomfort at the start of the conversation is a good way to break the ice and sets the tone for a more honest exchange in a safe space. It’s important to realize that you may hear things that dismay or surprise, and even shock you, but your job is to be receptive, granting your child permission to be themselves by providing nonjudgmental support and an avenue to resources that can help you both make well-informed decisions.Thegreatest hurdle to talking with your adolescent may simply be getting started.

South
Two notrump asked for any other four-card suit; three diamonds showed four diamonds; four dia monds asked whether South had either the ace, king or queen of diamonds; four hearts said no. West led a heart, and Sontag had to solve the problem of how to reach his A-K-Q of spades. He won the heart with the ace and cashed the ace of diamonds, planning to continue with the king and another diamond to establish his ten as an entry if the suit divided 3-2. But when East played the dia mond queen on the ace, Sontag abandoned his original plan. Instead, he cashed the K-Q-J of hearts and A-K of clubs. He then played the diamond four from dummy and the five from his hand. West won the trick with the eight but was helpless. He had the 10-7-3 of spades and the J-9 of diamonds at this point, and — whether he returned a spade or a diamond — Sontag would gain entry to his hand and so take the rest of the tricks. Sontag had correctly decided, after West showed up with four hearts and probably four diamonds, that West was likely to have at least three of the nine missing spades, and therefore no more than two clubs. That was why he cashed the A-K of clubs before leading a low diamond from dummy to endplay West.

—Submitted by the Office of Assemblywoman Gina Sillitti
I recently read your article “Assembly woman Sillitti Speaks Out On Gun Reform.” The article offered an overview of the recent legislation that followed the Supreme Court ruling which overturned New York State’s strict Concealed Carry Law. One of the most important elements of this new package of firearms laws relates to the requirement of training for those seeking or those who seek to renew their existing pistol permits. Permitting has also been expanded to include people who want to purchase or acquire semiautomatic rifles. As a certified firearms instructor for over 20 years, I believe that everyone who owns firearms of any kind must have training. Training reinforces safety, awareness and responsibility. Like a car, construction equipment and other tools, firearms training is critical for safe and proper use. The new law mandates 16 hours of train ing with a certified instructor and practical shooting range instruction. Responsible gun ownership and use requires training, an understanding of safe handling and storage of weapons as well as a clear understanding of the Withlaw.training there will be fewer accidents and more informed, aware and responsible firearms owners.

Maria Christina “Kitty” Poons 234662 M
Former Town of North Hempstead councilwoman, Maria Christina “Kitty” Poons nee Maria Christina Ainslie de Font Reaux passed away peacefully in her home on Sunday, August 21, 2022 surrounded by her family. Born in 1941 and raised in Mexico City, Maria Christina “Kitty” Poons came to the United States to study at a preparatory school in Texas in 1959. Mrs. Poons then moved to Brooklyn with her mother and began work at a small commodities rm, Poons Company Inc. There she met her husband Ronald and the two were married and moved to Great Neck in 1963. Together for over 59 years, Kitty and Ron became stalwarts in the Great Neck community and beyond. Mrs. Poons worked in the Great Neck Public Schools from 1975-2006. She served as a bilingual education consultant in several school districts in North Hempstead. A highly respected community leader, Ms. Poons served as a Board Member of the New York State Safe Kids Coalition, the Manhasset/Great Neck EOC, the Great Neck Senior Center, the Great Neck Student Aid Fund, the Education Assistance Corporation (EAC), and the Great Neck/ New Hyde Park North Community Fund. While she held many positions, her nal one, Liaison to the Hispanic community, speaks most to her lifetime of community service. In 1989, with the help of advisors, Dr. William Shine and Thomas DiNapoli, Kitty formed the Hispanic Community of Great Neck, a nonpro t support group to help Hispanic immigrants assimilate and thrive in American culture. Among its many community outreach programs, the organization provided services and resources for the hispanic community including assistance with educational needs, connections with healthcare providers, and opportunities for employment.Uponher retirement from the school district, Mrs. Poons was selected to ll a vacated seat as Councilwoman for the Town of North Hempstead in 2007. She was the rst Hispanic to hold a seat on the town board. Her foray into politics lasted until 2011 when she stepped down from the position.
A devoted wife of 59 years to her husband Ronald. A cherished mother to her daughters and their husbands Deborah & Jason Dolby, Christine & Thomas Travaglini, and Cathlene & Brad Behar. An adored “Abuelita” to her nine grandchildren, Nicole, Lisa, Alexander, Laurie, Sydney, Jessica, Brandon, Jaime, and Jordyn. A beloved sister to her sister Rosa Maria “Tita” Zamudio de Ainslie. In lieu of owers, the family has requested donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association https://www.alz.org/

avid Laskin, a bestselling author based in Seattle, will be in Port Washington at 2 p.m on Sunday, Sept. 11, for a special event hosted by the Dolphin Bookshop. Born and raised in Great Neck, Laskin will talk about the “sto ry behind the story” of his two most recent books – The Family (Penguin, 2013), a memoir, and his novel What Sammy Knew (Penguin, 2022), a coming-of-age story set on Long HailedIsland.bythe Star Tribune as “a hugely ac complished first novel about growing up fast amid personal strife and public upheaval,” What Sammy Knew tells the gripping story of a high school senior named Sammy Stein who runs away from his Long Island home and gets in way over his head in the tumult of the drug-soaked East Village in 1970.
The event is free and open to the public.
Laskin’s The Family, winner of the Washington State Book Award in nonfiction, follows the divergent journeys taken by the three branches of his mother’s family in the early 20th century: one branch immigrated from Eastern Europe to New York and founded the Maidenform Bra Company; the second branch participated in the birth of Israel as Zionist pioneers; the family members who remained behind in Belarus and Lithuania perished in the Holocaust. “At once anguishing and inspiring,” the Wall Street Journal concluded in a rave review.
