The Senior Citizens and Persons with Limited Incomes and Disabilities Property Tax Exemptions bill, first introduced in 2019 by Legislator Ed Ra, and re-introduced this year by New York State Assemblymember Michaelle Solages, and State Senator Kevin Thomas, has already been passed at the state level, and was signed by Governor Kathy Hochul earlier in August. In the county legislature, Debra Mulé (D–Freeport) and Carrié Solages (D–Lawrence), have praised the legislation, calling its revisions overdue, and have co-sponsored legislation to have the county opt-in.

After Hochul Signs Tax Law, Nassau Legislature Is Next Stop

For the 50 percent exemption, the law allows each county, city, town, village, or school district to set the maximum income limit at any figure between $3,000 and $50,000.

Property tax exemptions will be extended once lawmakers schedule a vote

For veterans: There are three different property tax exemptions available to veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, including veterans who have served in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. Obtaining a veterans exemption is not automatic. If you’re an eligible veteran, you must submit the initial exemption application form to your assessor. The deadline in most communities is March 1—please confirm the date with your assessor. Assembly & State Senate colleagues pose with Governor Kathy Hochul as she signs legislation to strengthen housing affordability for New York seniors and disabled persons.

The previous income limit for seniors and people with disabilities to receive a property tax exemption was $34,400, established almost two decades ago. The new income cap would be $58,400 per year, a substantial increase on the previous limit made to adjust for inflation and similar factors.

Richard J. Nicolello, Presiding Officer of Nassau’s legislature, said that the bill will indeed be added to the legislature’s calendar sometime in AssemblymemberBackSeptember.inMarch, Solages commented in a statement, “It isn’t unusual for a Nassau County resident to owe $15,000 a year in property taxes alone. We must provide relief for our seniors who struggle to make ends meet while living paycheck to paycheck on Social Security or disability insurance. That is why I have introduced a piece of legislation with my colleague Senator Kevin Thomas that will lower property taxes for residents who are elderly or have disabilities. This property tax relief is available to the residents of Queens who live just a few miles away, so I see no reason why it should not be available to the residents of Nassau County.”

For seniors: To qualify, seniors generally must be 65 years of age or older and meet certain income limitations and other requirements.

More Nassau County seniors and residents with limited incomes and disabilities will soon be eligible for reduced property taxes with an updated cutoff for income, according to legislators.

For persons with disabilities: To qualify, persons with disabil ities generally must have certain documented evidence of their disability and meet certain income limitations and other requirements. The basic exemption is a 50 percent reduction in the assessed value of the legal residence of the qualifying disabled person. For the basic exemption, the law allows each county, city, town, village, or school district to set the maximum income limit at any figure between $3,000 and $50,000. Localities have the further option of giving exemptions of less than 50 percent to persons with qualifying disabilities whose incomes are more than $50,000. Under this option, called the “sliding-scale” option, a qualifying owner can have a yearly income as high as $58,399.99 and get a 5 percent exemption in places that are using the maximum limit.

REAL

on the bill via the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance website: Local governments and school districts in New York State can opt to grant a reduction on the amount of property taxes paid by qualifying senior citizens. This is accomplished by reducing the taxable assessment of the senior’s home by as much as 50 percent.

The next step, according to the Democratic minority, is having the Republican majority schedule a hearing or vote on the bill to create a local “home rule message” as soon as possible. “It’s giving [homeowners] an opportunity that everyone else in the state has the ability to get as well,” explained Mulé in a phone interview. “Let’s let our citizens take“Ouradvantage.”region’shigh cost of living can make it tremendously challenging for seniors and disabled homeowners to make ends meet,” Solages said in a statement when the bill was re-introduced this past March. In a recent phone interview, Solages also commented, “It it now in the hands of the Republican majority, who held a press conference [in favor of the bill] a few weeks ago.” He added, “People [impacted by the law] really can’t afford to continue paying high property taxes.” When contacted for comment, representatives for Legislator

“It’s a special team,” he said. “We all coached Williamsport teams. It’s so hard to get through levels and levels.

First Long Island Little League World Series team in 45 years

It was also a moment of pride for MCLL board members John Healy and Al Barrow, both of whom had sons come through the program. Healy’s son Patrick played years ago, but went on to play college ball at SUNY Cortland in 2015. Barrow had four sons— Austin, Tyler, Spencer and Evan—suit up for MCLL with the youngest aging out two years ago. Both men continue to gladly volunteer their“Wetime.enjoy being part of the community and giving back,” Healy said. “This is a great Little League program. They’ve done a great job of it and it’s one of Long Island’s biggest.”

“To share that with my son and these boys and this town, it’s truly remarkable,” the elder Clark said in an interview with News12 NewTheJersey.road to Williamsport went through Bristol, CT, where New Jersey’s Toms River East squad fell to the Long Islanders 4-0 in the Metro Region Championship Game. No small feat given the fact that Toms River has sent teams to the World Series four times in the past 24 years. As Massapequa Coast Little League President Craig Garland pointed out during an interview early in the team’s playoff run, “To put it in perspective, the last Long Island team to advance to the Little League World Series was Rockville Centre Little League in 1978, almost 45 years ago.”

“What we do good with this program too is the kids play intramurals together and we keep them together not only in the Williamsport bracket, but then they move on to travel team as a group,” he explained.

And while Massapequa has a reputation as a very competitive sports community, even Barrow admitted this particular team was breathing rarefied air.

Massapequa Takes A Wild Ride To Williamsport

The pinnacle for 12-year-old baseball players is to one day step on the field at Howard J. Lamade Stadium in Williamsport, PA, and participate in the Little League World Series. It’s a goal that was recently achieved by the 2022 Massapequa Coast Little League (MCLL) team that became a Cinderella story thanks to the squad being the first Long Islanders to get their ticket punched since 1978. It’s a similar path followed by MCLL head coach Roland Clark, who suited up for the only other Massapequa Little League team to win a state title in 1989 and whose son Michael plays on the current team.

Local Little League World Series fever caused the Town of Oyster Bay to set up public viewing on a large-size screen running the ESPN feed at home plate of the MCLL’s Massapequa baseball diamond at John J. Burns Park. It was here, on a perfect Rockwellian summer Friday night, with barely a whiff of humidity in the air and the temperature hovering around the low ’80s, where the MCLL team made their televised debut from Williamsport, PA, the site of the 75th Little League World Series. Children raced around the Massapequa Coast home field, playing tag, tossing balls around and seemingly oblivious to the goings-on being broadcast by a crew that included Major League Baseball analyst Tim Kurkjian. Families were still pulling up in their cars at John J. Burns Park, joining other hopeful Massapequans set up in folding chairs and sitting on blankets hoping for a victory over the heavy favorites from Hawaii. Between the bucolic setting and the strong civic support, right down to cardboard placards being handed out exhorting “Go Massapequa Coast!” Little League World Series sponsored by Orlin & Cohen Sports Medicine, which has an office in Massapequa. Elsewhere, places like St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church flashed support for the team on its electronic sign facing Merrick Road, adding to the emotional momentum the 11-man squad was riding. They needed it, heading into a first-round match-up against the Honolulu team that won it all in 2018 by dispatching a team from Seoul, South Korea, 3-0 .

TOP STORY dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.comRUBIOGILDAVEde

Understandably, the MCLL became a cause célèbre as local outlets breathlessly covered how the team advanced in print, on television, radio and social media. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman even got into the act, wagering a Pappalardo’s pizza against a case of macadamia nuts put up by Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi that MCC would prevail over the Hawaii team during the Aug. 19 opening game.

“With a lot of other organizations, the kids have to go to all these elite clubs. We stay together.”Whenthe Friday game began, one of the ESPN announcers commented that Honolulu’s blonde, Mohawk-wearing starting pitcher Jaron Lancaster was, “Long, lean and loose. At 5’6”, coming in at around 120 pounds, he’s the perfect build for a Little League player.” The description was accurate, as Lancaster struck out seven of the 11 batters he faced through three innings while combining with fellow hurler Cohen Sakamoto to no-hit Massapequa while the hard-hitting Hawaiians cranked out four dingers. Honolulu proved to be too formi dable an opponent, as they came away with a dominant 12-0 victory that was ended by a mercy rule in the fifth inning. MCLL’s last hope was to get past Hollidaysburg, PA, on Sunday, Aug. 21. Massapequa’s fate was held off by a rain postponement and the team’s run officially ended with a 7-1 loss to their Keystone State rivals the following day. That said, the MCLL had plenty to be proud of, making its Little League World Series debut for the first time in the league’s 72-year history. For Barrow, all roads to success lead back to the Massapequa Coast Little League program. “To be competitive and to be able to play at school level as well, you’ve got to play here,” he said. “They learn everything here. They love playing here. We just do more than everybody else just to give back because that’s the type of community we have.”

Within her project, her goal was to address the lack of information on smoking and vaping found on social media. She hosted in-person and virtual presentations on the dangers of short and long-term effects of smoking in any form. Feijoo also led discussions after her presentation to help answer additional questions from students. Her resources can be accessed on YouTube and related social media to continue to raise awareness on the negative effects of e-cigarettes.

“On behalf of the town board, we commend these fine young women for earning the highest and most coveted achievement through the Girl Scouts of America,” Hand said. “What makes attaining a Gold Award even more admirable is that less than 6 percent of Girl Scouts achieve this accomplishment annually. These honorees express a special commitment to themselves, their communities and their futures.”

She included a description and purpose of each activity along the path and created a packet for the main office to distribute to other school staff. McCarthy’s sensory path is sustained by the school psychologist and continues to be utilized by the teachers and staff in the building.

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.

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.

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.

LEGISLATORS AND TRIBUNE NEWSPAPERS

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

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

Legislator represents the 19th LegislativeDistrict. CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE The entrance way to some seasonal pool running (Photo credit: Pixabay)

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.

—The University of Arizona

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.

Invest in proper footwear

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.

Time walks appropriately If you do decide to walk your dog, the very early morning and late evening hours are generally the safest time to do so.

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.

Know your dog

“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.”

Charlie Musselwhite

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.

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.

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.

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

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.

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.”

Musselwhite’s love of the blues can be traced to a childhood listening to music being sung by local laborers out in the country.

Postsecondary Student Scams

• 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.

• 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.

Scam Prevention Tips

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

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.

• Locate the nearest emergency exits. Make note of where to go if there is an emergency.

—New York State Division of Consumer Protection

• 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.

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.

• 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.

Practice Online Safety

College Dormitory Safety

• 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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

Education Inspires

BY NICOLLE VASSELMAN, LMHC AND JENNIFER SCHECK, LCSW, CASAC ack to school is a different experience for every adolescent. Some are excited to see their friends, show off a new outfit, or get back into a routine. For others, school can present many more challenges than reading, writing, and arithmetic.

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.

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

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.

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.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Luck and your emotional state go hand in hand. Your outlook and mood are on the up and up. You’re hopeful about the problems you couldn’t solve last week and will come at them from a new angle. You’ll process and act on what you feel, creating a sense of progress you haven’t known in a long while.

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have com pleted the puzzle, there will be 22 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). ese days, instructions are everywhere. e pillow and the wall hanging and the media post tell you what to do and think and how to be. It can feel intrusive, and your instinct to rebel is only natural. You may categorically shun all instructions and y entirely in the zone of intuition, which will feel a lot like freedom.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s not so easy to separate the signal from the noise. Check your sources. Challenges to clear communication are numerous and varied. Misinformation can happen easily and without ill-intent. But if anyone can avoid mistakes and help everyone understand and come to an agreement, it’s VIRGOyou.(Aug. 23-Sept. 22). e more present you are to the moment, the more attractive you are. In familiar territory you’ll be naturally centered, and you’ll radiate cool con dence. New situations have a way of making your mind race ahead. You don’t have to look good at all times. Awkwardness is part of an ever-expanding life. Your life is getting bigger indeed!

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.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It seems your options are limited by factors beyond your control such as your age, gender, race, location, the rules of the game or the nancial end of things. But what if these limits are merely perceived? Push into them and see if there’s more leeway than appearances suggest. Ponder possible GEMINIworkarounds.(May 21-June 21). Yes, the project is worthwhile, though it will take twice as long as you think, which is the case with most worthy work. It reveals itself little by little, pulling you deeper into your own heart. At some point, the time and e ort become irrelevant. You’re driven to know what happens and, in doing so, know yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just because people believe it doesn’t make it real or right. Even so, trying to convince or in uence people away from their beliefs will be an ine ective use of your time. Instead, you’ll live in a way that re ects your values. Others take notice of what’s working well for you. Some will want to do as you SCORPIOdo. (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Communicating doesn’t require talking. e truth is that you cannot avoid communicating because, as long as you are present, your body, movement, breathing, energy and very essence is sending a message. Your awareness in this regard makes you most e ective this week.

Orientation was led by Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources and Instructional Support Dr. Sheena Jacob, who gave an overview of Seaford’s academic programs, teacher mentoring program and social and emotional learning initiatives. Assistant Superintendent for Students participating in Hicksville Public School District’s Extended School Year program recently took a break from learning and enjoyed two special visitors. Starting the day off on Aug. 3, students were excited to meet a member of the Hicksville Fire Department who shared day-to-day activities of a firefighter. The students learned about the importance of fire safety and what to do in emergency situations. After the presentation, the stu dents were invited to tour the fire truck that was parked near the front entrance of the school. In the afternoon on the same day, the students had a visit with a six-yearold bearded collie named Nella which brought many smiles. The therapy dog has been trained and certified through Pet Partners and gave the students a wonderful afternoon “brain break.”

The new faculty members include elementary and secondary teachers, nurses and psychologists, and some bring more than a decade of experience with them to Seaford. During a getting-to-know-you activity, each teacher shared his or her educational background as well as a fun fact.

New teacher orientation continues throughout the year with monthly workshops, facilitated by Seaford administrators, on topics such as instructional technology, special education and teaching strategies.

About two dozen new teachers got a thorough introduction to the Seaford School District during a two-day orientation program on Aug. 24 and 25. The annual program for first-year staff began at Seaford Middle School and included a meet and greet with adminis trators and a bus tour of the district.

—Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay several testimonials from vol unteers. A common thread to all descriptions of Petersen was her deep care and concern for both clients and volunteers. Her deep respect for and interest in each person she encounters is simply who Petersen is and a wonderful example of Catholic Social Teaching. She is an inspiration to so many who volunteer. Petersen has literally touched the of lives of hundreds of Farmingdale residents. Both volunteers and clients’ lives are improved because of her. Farmingdale will miss Nina Petersen but we wish her well as she begins the next chapter of her life. God bless.

n Aug. 3, more than 60 past and preset volunteers, along with clergy and staff, gath ered for a farewell dinner in honor of Nina Petersen, who has served as director of St. Kilian’s Outreach/ Social Ministry for the past 12 years. Most in Farmingdale know Outreach as a food pantry, but its services are far reaching. Its relationship with both Long Island Cares and Island Harvest means it receives significant monthly food deliveries which, along with donations from parishioners and local organizations, ensures local food resources (many clients walk to Outreach and do not have access to a car) to about 100 Farmingdale households each month.

Town Partners With Long Island United For Recovery

AUGUST 31 – SEPTEMBER 6, 2022 • ANTON MEDIA GROUP12 St. Kilian’s Says Goodbye To Outreach Director Nina Petersen

Although Outreach’s efforts are subsidized by St. Kilian Parish, which employs the director and a part-time administrative assistant, the workload is carried out by a small army of volunteers who serve as caseworkers, pantry workers, greeters/telephone workers, van drivers and food drive coordina tors. Petersen, as director, ensures that all volunteers are trained, co ordinates their monthly schedules and is always available to answer questions and troubleshoot issues. With her knowledge of New York State social services and extraor dinary compassion and caring, Petersen has built relationships with so many clients because she has journeyed with them through their most difficult moments: the death or illness of the household’s breadwinner, the process of finding low-income or senior housing, the challenges of correcting errors or remedying delays with unemploy ment or disability income, food stamps and other governmental re sources. Although she is not herself a resident of Farmingdale, Petersen is clearly one of its most important community members. She has forged relationships with the Farmingdale School District social workers and many community organizations including Rotary, Farmingdale Women’s Club, STK Women’s Guild, Boy Scouts, YES Community Counseling, Pay It Forward and Knights of Columbus to name a few. The farewell dinner included Oyster Bay Saladinocelebratesupportawarenessbattle,honorjoinrainstartatMassapequa.18,takingtheirUnitedpartneringannouncedCouncilwomanSaladinoSupervisorTownJosephandLauraMaierthatthetowniswithLongIslandforRecoverytohostseventhannualwalk,placeonSunday,Sept.atMarjoriePostParkinCheck-inbegins10:30a.m.foran11a.m.walktime.Theeventwillbeheldorshine.“Weinviteallresidentstousatthisevent,whichwillthosewhohavelosttheirencourageadvocacyandtocreatechange,thoseintheflight,andthoseinrecovery,”said.“WethankLong

Trained volunteers check in with families monthly and identify opportunities to connect them with Department of Social Services resources such as SNAP (food stamps), HEAP (heating assistance) and rental assistance programs.St.Kilian Outreach also has a senior medical transport service that helps eligible persons get to appointments, a Bakers Group that extends consolation to parish families experiencing a death and manages all aspects of the annual Christmas/Holiday, Easter/Spring and Back-to-School fundraising and distribution efforts.

ANTON MEDIA GROUP • AUGUST 31 – SEPTEMBER 6, 2022 13 POLICE REPORT

The Eighth Squad reports the arrest of a Levittown man for an incident that occurred on Thursday, August 11 at 3:40 pm in Levittown. According to detectives, officers responded to the Kent Garden Apartments located at 100 Division Ave. for a distur bance. Upon arrival it was determined that a 35-year-old male subject, Isaac Kodsi, was involved in an incident involving another tenant in the apartment complex. When police attempted to make contact, the sub ject barricaded himself inside his home and made threats to harm the officers. Officers then requested assistance from Nassau County Bureau of Special Operations (BSO), Emergency Service Unit (ESU) and the Hostage Negotiation Team. The officers were eventually able to have Kodsi agree to come out and he was arrested without incident and transported to an area hospital for evaluation. No injuries were reported. Kodsi is being charged with making a ter roristic threat and second-degree criminal contempt and arraigned at First District Court in Hempstead. A further investigation determined that Kodsi was responsible for two incidents that occurred in Levittown on June 18. He is charged with two counts of petit larceny. Kodsi was previously arrested on March 30, 2022 for burglary and was released without cash bail.

On Aug.17, at 3:05 p.m., Second Squad detectives located 40-year-old Ephrem Jusino of Brooklyn in Deer Park and placed him into custody. Jusino is charged with assault to a police officer causing serious physical injury, leaving the scene of an incident with serious injury, reckless driving, second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation and traffic infractions. He was arraigned on Thursday, Aug. 18, at First District Court located on 99 Main St. in Hempstead.

SPORTS

he New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) has officially inducted the Hall of Fame Class of 2022. The group of six new inductees was honored on the final night of the NYSPHSAA Central Committee meeting in Lake Placid on Wednesday, July 27. The NYSPHSAA Hall of Fame, launched in 2002, is sponsored by Pupil Benefits Plan, Inc. and Crown Awards.

The section for Amen reads as follows: Jim Amen Jr. has been one of the most impactful high school coaches and administrators in New York State. He began his career in 1965 as a physical education teacher and coach at the Plainview-Old Bethpage School District, where he coached varsity basketball and soccer that year, then two years later started the boys lacrosse program at Plainview JFK High School. After leaving the high school ranks from 1977-82 to work as the head basketball coach and assis tant men’s lacrosse coach at Johns Hopkins University, where his teams won three NCAA championships, Amen returned to Long Island as chairperson of physical education and athletics and boys head soccer, basketball and lacrosse coach in the Levittown School District until 1991. That year, he transitioned to the chairperson, then eventually director of physical education and athletics at Bethpage High School, and contin ued with varsity soccer, basketball and lacrosse coaching duties at Bethpage.Despite the positive impact he made in soccer and basketball, he made his mark in lacrosse, compiling 219 wins, a NYSPHSAA Class B State Championship as well as winning numerous section and league championships. The year Amen’s Bethpage team won the state cham pionship was 1996—his final year of coaching—when the team finished 20-1 overall. In 1999, Jim progressed his administrative career and landed at Cold Spring Harbor School District as the director of physical education and athletics, where he remained until 2013. He then took an interim position at Manhasset School District from 2013 until his retirement in 2021.Amen has additionally contributed to NYSPHSAA as its boys lacrosse coordinator since 2011 and to Section VIII, where he’s held many positions, including two terms as president, Sportsmanship Committee chair, Modified Boys Lacrosse chair and member of the Executive Committee.

Some of his many honors include twice being named Nassau County Boys Lacrosse Coach of the Year and being recognized by NYSAHPERD as the Athletic Director of the Year. He was inducted into the follow ing Halls of Fame: Long Island Metropolitan Lacrosse Hall of Fame, the Massapequa High School Hall of Fame, Bethpage Wall of Fame, National Interscholastic Coaches Hall of Fame and the Nassau County Athletics Hall of Fame. Jim currently resides in Northport with Tricia, his wife of 46 years. The couple has three adult children and six grandchildren.—Submitted by the NYSPHSAA
