The secret, he said, was that the squad fo cused on organized crime burglary groups that operated mainly on the wealthy north shore. It took down some of the groups, but he admitted that this year there had been a rise in such toyear.comparedarecantly,rateeffortenforcementatremendously.”goingbutasignificantlybroughtwasedgedRaymondburglaries.alsoacknowl-that“autocrimesuccessfullydownovercoupleofyears,thisyear,it’sbackupHesaidthatdeterminedbroughtthedownsignifi-butstolencarsstillup128percenttothistimelastTherewasasimplewayputanendtothis,andthe citizens had a role, Raymond affirmed.
E ven police officers’ families can get careless. Det. Sgt. Jeffery Raymond, commanding officer of the Nassau County Police Department’s Burglary Pattern Squad, came home one day and discovered that his wife had left the key fob in her car—always an invitation to car thieves. So he got in, started it up and drove the vehicle to where he could leave it overnight. And the next morning she told him, “Somebody stole our car!” and he acted shocked and went along until he revealed the truth. His wife is on to him now after he did it a second time, he told an appreciative audience at the Syosset/Woodbury Community Center on Aug. 24. He was the principal speaker at a community forum hosted by Nassau County Legislator Arnold Drucker. Drucker said, “This meeting was precipitated by a number of calls I received from concerned residents who have been experiencing a significant amount of burglaries. There has been a spike in crime and the [NCPD} is well aware of it. The purpose of this meeting is to allow you to ask questions and to hopefully get the answers that make you feel better and make you feel more comfortable. And maybe we could find out how we could do more to help the police to stopDruckercrime.”was joined at the head table by the deputy commander of the Second Precinct—headquartered nearby—Deputy Inspector Joseph Massaro, and Problem Oriented Policing (POP) officers Chris Lovelace and Frank Vescio.
Raymond, who had recently started his 26th year in the NCPD, said he was going to discuss auto thefts and residential burglaries “My goal tonight is to change your perception of crime,” he told the dozens of people in attendance. “And how to look for crime because we need you guys to help us, and I’m going to go through a bunch of things that will hopefully change your perception on certain things that go on in thePreviousneighborhood.”tohiscurrent post, Raymond had been tasked by then Commissioner Thomas Krumpter to start the Criminal Intelligence Rapid Response Team (CIRRT), which is still active today. In late 2015, he was asked by future Commissioner Patrick Ryder to address the uptick in burglaries, which had increased 78 percent for the year, with about 1,000 residential burglaries recorded. It was then that the Burglary Pattern Squad was formed and Raymond said it proved a success—last year the residential burglaries countywide had been reduced to about 300.

In talking to suspects, he related, police learned that they used tools such as Zillow and Google to scope expensive neighborhoods and then drove past to check for vulnerable residences. They were brazen—knocking on doors after watching people leave for work in the morning to see if anyone was home. He spoke of a case where thieves called in a food order, leaving instructions to leave it on the steps and knock. When no one answered the knock, they knew the coast was clear. As far as deterrents, Raymond emphasized, “Lights, lights, lights, They’re so cheap now, it costs nothing to light your house with modern LEDs.” House alarms were also crucial, he said, but he urged people to have them turned on even when they were home, or when they left for short errands. The second floor should be alarmed as well, as thieves were known to climb up the sides of houses. A woman said that two burglaries in her neighborhood happened when the residents were home, and Raymond admitted this was unusual and speculated on how it could have taken place. “I can tell you they do not want you home,” he stressed. “They do not want to ever confront you. That’s a huge escalation. They know they’ll go to prison for a long time.”Raymond said that his squad, as well as the Bureau of Special Operations and CIRRT are sent into neighborhoods to patrol and even park for hours at a time, looking for potential burglars. Alluding to his earlier advice, Raymond said, “If you start calling [911] on the cops, that’s good. That means we’ve changed the way you think. You [realize] the car doesn’t belong here.” One attendee, Robert Staller, had moved to Massapequa, but he still belonged to the East Birchwood (Jericho) Civic Association where he used to live. He told the Tribune that he found the meeting useful and wished more people had shown up. “You learn a lot, even if it’s one thing,” he said.
“We all agree your home is your home base, is your safety, is your sanctuary. We take this very personally in the office. We actually get angry when you guys get hit,” heBurglaries,asserted. in his vast experience, were not committed by landscapers or painters or house cleaning crews. They were done by sophisticated, organized gangs led by Chilean and Colombian nationals who drove luxury cars and dressed in expensive clothing. These were deemed terrorist groups by Homeland Security, thanks in part to lobbying efforts by the NCPD.

Neighborhood Watch
Someone asked about community watches, and Raymond said he was in favor of the idea, Lovelace said he and his POP division had recently met with dozens of Jericho residents who wished to create a community watch and he would be amenable to aiding the effort. But he warned against resorting to any kind of vigilantism. He urged attendees not to confront criminals, but keep a distance and call 911. Raymond turned to residential burglaries, saying that it’s one of the most intrusive crimes that could happen.
“I would say in 95 percent, if not more, of stolen cars, the key fobs are left in the car,” heAgain,said. auto theft was largely an organized activity, with young men sent to Nassau to look for luxury brands.

“The goal is that they’ll love school,” Rev. Sheridan said. There is a need for full-time preschool, Rev. Sheridan said, because many young parents in the community work and are unable to stay home with their children. “To provide for flexibility for parents in the community, we’re happy we can provide full day care,” Rev. Sheridan said. The Syosset Central School District now offers Universal Pre-K (UPK). But, at the Aug. 15 board of education meeting it was announced that their preschool programs were full and some families were wait-listed.“We are also hoping to offer a universal pre-k class next year,” Rev. Sheridan said. “But we know that not everyone got a preschool, UPK spot, so that’s part of our mission to offer an affordable option.”

Floating Litter Traps Installed At North Shore Marina
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilman Lou Imbroto, Councilwoman Laura Maier, Councilwoman Vicki Walsh and Town Clerk Rich LaMarca joined with local environmental groups to unveil new floating litter trap technology at Tappen Marina, the first of its kind anywhere in the United States. The Collec’Thor,’ a silent, motorized waste collector which attracts and engulfs all solid or liquid waste floating on the water surface, was obtained by the town through a grant from the Long Island Sound Futures Fund. The town was selected by Cornell Cooperative Extension, in partnership with Friends of the Bay, The Waterfront Center, The Oyster Bay/Cold Spring Harbor Protection Committee and Oyster Bay High School.“Weare so proud to have been awarded this grant the opportunity to lead the na tion in rolling out new, innovative technol ogy to protect our environment,” Saladino said. “The Collec’Thors now in place at our marina will assist in our ongoing com mitment to strengthen the ecosystem by removing debris from the water. I thank all of the local environmental organizations who assisted the town in implementing this environmental technology, which collects up to 220 pounds of floating debris in just oneTwocycle.”Collec’Thor traps have been installed at Harry Tappen Marina in Glenwood Landing, selected as an ideal location to help re-mediate plastic pollu tion in the Long Island Sound. In addi tion to support from local environmental advocacy groups, the project will also be supported by students from Oyster Bay High School, who will participate in the removal of debris, and analyze and identify marine pollution data. The project aligns with similar environmental initiatives in the town to minimize plastic pollution in local“Cornellwaterways.Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County is grateful for the support from The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Long Island Sound Futures Fund as it ensures that our critical work to protect and enhance the environment continues,” CCE Executive Director Vanessa Lockel said. “This funding enables our experts to work to restore the health of the Long Island Sound by removing floating debris that negatively impact our waters. We appreciate the shared commitment to our waters and the communities that enjoy this natural resource.”Collec’Thors, the latest in marine debris collection technology, have been deemed the most efficient trash skimmers available for marine and coastal usage. They are specifically designed to target solid and liquid waste, including plastic bottles, cigarette filters, butts and packaging, microplastics and hydrocarbons. The technology uses a small pump to draw in surrounding water and skims any floating trash into its receptacle. The mechanism adjusts with the tide and is easily affixed to a floating dock or waterfront location. by the Town of Oyster Bay234070

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.
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.

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.

How did you get all these things together? How did you get the timing so right?” and went on to detail the number of people it took to put a flight together. He paid special thanks to the “guardians” who accompanied each vet on the trip and paid out of pocket for the flight. He mentioned the pipe and drums who greeted the returning flight, the fire departments who supplied the huge flags, the highs schools, including Garden City and Bethpage, who wrote letters to the veterans, the Boy and Girl Scouts, the

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.

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.

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 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
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 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.

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.
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.

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.

“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.

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.

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.
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.

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
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 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.”
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.”
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.
Musselwhite’s love of the blues can be traced to a childhood listening to music being sung by local laborers out in the country.
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.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Locate the nearest emergency exits. Make note of where to go if there is an emergency.
College Dormitory Safety
• 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.
—New York State Division of Consumer Protection
Practice Online Safety
• 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
Identity theft protection:
• 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.
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.
• 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.
Back to School An Anton Media Group Supplement August 31 – September 6, 2022 11A
Postsecondary Student Scams
• 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.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
• 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.

The organization’s commitment is to educate and encourage discourse on ways to stay safe and healthy in body and mind.
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.
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.
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.

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.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS
It’s a high point for relationships of all kind. Spending time with the ones you love makes your heart de ant to gravity. Seeing new places together will bring about deep bonding. On the nancial front, you’ll love the freedom and options that come out of an improved and more structured approach. You’ll make a substantial investment that will pay you back for years into the future. More highlights: mastering a game and re nements of communication in its many forms, including a style COPYRIGHTaesthetic.2022CREATORS.COM
South
Solution:
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!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re assertive, not domineering. You’ll master the ne art of being a boss without being bossy. It’s a tightrope walk to be sure, but as long as you’re paying attention to the feedback others give you, you’ll maintain your standing. No longer having to kowtow to others is something to AQUARIUScelebrate. (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). While you’re able to defend what’s yours, you’d prefer not to have to. at’s why you’re so careful about who you get close to. You pay attention to indications of character, worldview and thought process. Generous spirits will be all around you. You’ll enjoy interactions of openness, trust and fun.

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.

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.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re choosy about your involvements because you tend to give them your all. e project you have on deck will bring out the best in you, requiring you to be organized, forward-thinking and resourceful. You’ll have fun with it, too, as long as you pace yourself well. Plan to leave nothing to the last minute.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have the courage to put together the ideas that interest you, and you present them in your own unique way. Some will get it right away and want to be a part of it. Others won’t understand until everyone else does. But you don’t need everyone on your side. e most important one to have on your side is you.

Back To School Tips
It’s a very fun hobby to learn because you can create so many things with crochet and it’s not as hard as it looks.” And knitting and crocheting can also help people deal with stress, which is one of the reasons why Chung and her friends; Kate Liu, who serves as the vice president; Rachael Kuang, the secretary; Natalie Rumora, treasurer; and Chloe Ma and Mahnoor Faroog, social media and advertisement managers, formed their club at school. “We wanted an after-school activity where students could come in and de-stress after a long day of school,” Chung said. “Many find that crocheting and knitting help clear their minds and relax.” Visit www.wecareblankets.org for more information about We Care Blankets.
“We have young children who have undergone cancer and received our blankets and who came back to us to help us wrap blankets we provide.” And We Care Blanket works with many houses of worship and groups like the Boy or Girl Scouts of America to accomplish theirKnittingmission.and crocheting has gained in popularity among all ages. “I’ve noticed crocheting and knitting has gained popularity too,” Chung said. “It’s a trend on the Internet now. We see a lot of videos on social media of people crocheting cute clothes like crop tops, bucket hats, and other things like stuffed animals. I think this is one way people are drawn to crocheting.
Get to Know Your Neighbors: If your family is new to the neighborhood and your child will be starting at a new school, make an effort to get to know the other neighborhood children. Schedule play dates, or, for older children, find out where the neighborhood kids might go to safely hang out, like the community pool, recreation center, or park. Talk to Your Child: Ask children about their fears or worries about going back to school, whether it is in person, hybrid, or virtual. Help by talking to them about the uncertainty of what this new school year may bring and ways that you can be flexible with possible changes. Ask what they liked about their previous school or grade and see how those posi tives can be incorporated into their new experience. If your child expresses uncer tainty about the new school year, arrange to walk through the building or ask school personnel to show your child where their locker or classrooms are to help ease anx iety of the unknown. After school starts, take time to listen to your children and discuss their day at school and any issues they may have.

“People come to us who are people who have suffered from cancer and have undergone treatment themselves,” Baker said.
Syosset Students Donated Knitted Blankets For A Good Cause
A week or two before school starts, parents should try and get their children back into the school routine. This may mean having them go to bed at a regular time and waking up early as they would do for school. Orga nizing backpacks, binders, lunchboxes, and even cafeteria money will also help with the transition into the school routine and will help make the first morning go smoothly.
We Care Blankets was started in 2001 by Tamara Baker when she was in a pediatric oncology office studying a disease she had been suffering from and saw children undergoing chemotherapy.“Idecidedthere was a definite need and I decided to provide blankets for these children.”Bakerwas able to garner a group of crocheters and knitters who would answer this call to provide children with these meaningful gifts, forming what We Care Blankets is today.Recently, We Care Blankets partnered with Syosset High School’s Crochet and Knit Club. Soomi Chung, a Syosset High Senior senior, started the club with a few friends who like to crochet. The club wanted to embark on a project, eventually finding We Care Blankets through their advisor Kristina Holzweiss. Baker said she found the students “phenomenal” during their initial Zoom meetings.“Ilooked through the organization’s website and was so touched by their work and wanted to help out,” Chung said. “How ever, making blankets is a long process so we reached out to another knitting group for an extra hand. We collaborated with LifeWORC’s Knitty Committee and worked on blankets for the whole year.”
Get involved and Ask for Help: Parents and caregivers with knowledge of the school and the community will be better equipped to understand their child’s surroundings and the transition they are undergoing. To foster support, meet members of the community, school, or even join your school’s PTA. If you feel that the stress of the school year is too much to handle, seek expert advice from a licensed psychologist who can help your family better manage and cope.
Change can be difficult, but also exciting. Let your children know that you are aware of what they’re going through and that you will be there to help them with the process. Explain that while nerves are normal, not everything that is different is necessarily bad. It is important to encourage children to face their fears instead of falling into the trap of encouraging avoidance. Celebrate when they do something brave that made them nervous.
Restart Your Family’s School Routine:

Empathize With Your Children:
As Jericho Union Free School District students return on Aug.29 and the Syosset Central School District students return Sept.1, the American Psychology Association has some great advice for families to start their child on the right foot this upcoming school year.
“For the past 21 years, we’ve been grow ing and growing,” Baker said. “We stepped up. All volunteer; volunteer knitters, cro cheters, wrapper, delivery people.

And the parents are also often very touched to see people care so much about their children and providing them warmth through a beautiful gift.
“We are there for the children and we are also there for anybody who we can provide some happiness and some comfort and support,” Baker said. Not only do the people receiving the gifts benefit from We Care Blankets, but the volunteers themselves have been able to find a circle of support and friendships.

Everyone in our club and other volunteers worked very hard on this project and we are happy to contribute to this beautiful cause. It’s amazing to me how a blanket and a little bit of your time could become something meaningful to another. Making these blankets was a memorable experience for me and hopefully for others who helped out as well.” In the first two years of its operation, We Care Blankets was subsidized by an oncologist in Manhattan, who Baker said “liked what we were doing.” The group ended up servicing his hospital in Manhattan.
