Jimmy Was The Reason For The Day BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

here are various degrees of separation from James J. Regan of Manhasset. On a late summer morning it was clear that the U.S. Army Ranger had touched many lives. Why else would 60 members of the Army lacrosse team make the twohour trip from West Point to participate in Jimmy’s Gold Star Memorial Run on Sept. 19? Their coach, Joe Alberici, was Jimmy’s assistant coach at Duke, where her son was an All-American lacrosse player, Mary Regan told the Manhasset Press. She called Alberici “the best guy in the world, a solid good guy. We’ve had a relationship forever with him. So he sends his boys down here for the run. ” Deena Kay of Nesconset was the first woman to finish the 3½-mile course, clocking 28:14. Asked what brought her to Manhasset, she replied, “My husband Gregory went to Chaminade and played lacrosse with Jimmy.” Three men ran together for the entirety of the race: Scott Patterson, Michael Gallo and Joe Astorita. Patterson was the executive officer of Jimmy’s Company C. “The first time I met Jimmy I was in awe,” Patterson said. “A Duke D1 lacrosse player, absolute stud, a complete standout in the regiment. He was a great guy with a great future ahead of him. He answered the call to bring the fight to the enemy on their territory.” Gallo, a former Army Ranger from the 2nd Ranger Battalion said, “I did not know Jimmy, but I’ve become friendly with the family.” Astorita said he played against Jimmy when he attended Hofstra University. “You guys used to play Duke in lacrosse?” Astorita was asked. “We used to lose to them a lot,” he laughed. Sgt. Regan, who served with Company C, 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, was killed in action in Iraq in February 2007. He is honored annually with the run, which raises money for the Army Ranger Lead The Way Fund, created by his parents to aid fellow Rangers. It has dispensed $14 million to help veterans. “When Jimmy was killed we [realized] that the [Navy] SEALs have the SEALs Foundation, but there was nothing for the Rangers, so we [created it] and it has so many different

He would have been proud to support Lead The Way.” (Photo by Frank Rizzo)

programs,” Mary Regan said, noting that 96 percent of the money raised is used to fund programs. The run was held in NYC for its first 13 years, and was canceled by the pandemic in 2020.

“We had no apprehension about holding it here in Manhasset,” his father James Regan said. “New York City was not conducive to people. They don’t want to go there.” Added his wife, “Because it’s more of a family event it’s difficult for people to bring their strollers on the subway, the train. We said, ‘You know what? Jimmy grew up here. Let’s do it here.’ ” More than 500 people registered online, Mary said, “and we have a bunch of walk-ins. I think it’s going to be great.” “The VA does a lot, but we are an active duty service organization,” James said of the foundation. “We build homes. We fill the gaps that the government doesn’t take care of. That’s our whole mission.” During his opening remarks, Regan said, “I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since 9/11. An event that rocked this community and rocked it to the core. And the reason that Jimmy became an Army Ranger. We’re still here today because of Jimmy and the rest of the folks that have served this nation. It gives us the opportunity to honor and remember and celebrate Jimmy and all those lives that were lost.” Regan introduced Brother Tom Cleary, president of Chaminade High School in Mineola. “I had the pleasure of teaching Sgt. Jimmy Regan when he was a freshman at Chaminade back in 1998,” Cleary told the crowd. “I can I assure you

Jimmy was and is a powerful inspiration to all the students who walk the halls of Chaminade to this day. In fact, he had a hand in naming our Gold Star Stadium as a permanent memorial to Jimmy and the 56 Gold Star alumni from Chaminade.” “The pain still remains?” Mary Regan was asked. “Oh God, every day, every day,” she replied. “Some days are worse than others. But you never get over it. You lose a child, you never get over it.” James Regan said, “We miss him dearly. But he’s a patriot. He walked away from a really nice position on Wall Street and decided to serve his country first.” During his remarks, Regan thanked the many volunteers and supporters who made the run successful, including the Chaminade and Duke families, Atwell Brothers Tent Rentals, the Town of North Hempstead, Mark Sauvigne and The Manhasset Park District, Village of Munsey Park, Plandome Manor Mayor Barbara Donno, Nassau County Police Department 6th Precinct, Once Upon a Party’s Jannine and Gordon Sandmeier, the Sarcona, Brodsky and Vlahos families, Tommy Susco and The Meade Brothers Band.

‘Book Tasting’ Event At Munsey Park Teachers at Munsey Park Elementary School in Manhasset are introducing innovative ways to get their students excited about reading. For example, teacher Mallory Del Vecchio set up a “book tasting” event for her sixth-grade class. Students sat at different banquet

tables and had the chance to rotate throughout the classroom to preview, or “taste,” a number of novels. From there, they rated the books and will be assigned one of their top choices. —Submitted by the Manhasset School District

Town To Welcome Vietnam Veterans Memorial Moving Wall To North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board are proud to announce the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Moving Wall will be coming to the Town of North Hempstead. The Moving Wall, as it is known, is a traveling half-sized replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. The Moving Wall will be on display at North Beach Park from Friday, Oct. 15 to Sunday, Oct. 17. There will also be a special ceremony held on Friday, Oct. 15 at 9 a.m. “We are proud to be hosting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Moving Wall in the Town of North Hempstead,” Bosworth said. “We recognize all of those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Vietnam War. We invite all town residents to visit and take part in this emotional experience.” The town is also looking for

volunteers to assist during the Moving Wall’s five-day stay. Those interested in helping can call 311 or 516-869-6311. North Hempstead Beach Park will be open around-the-clock, and the display will be available for viewing day and night. Visitors must follow New York State and Center for Disease Control and Prevention COVID-19 guidelines. The Moving Wall is engraved with the names of the 58,228 Americans who died during the war. Since 1982, the Moving Wall has brought the experience of the memorial in Washington D.C to people who could not travel to the nation’s capital. The Moving Wall first went on display in Tyler, Texas, in October 1984, and since has been traveling the United States from April to November. —Submitted by the Town of North Hempstead

Town To Partner With Pedalshare For Pilot Bike Share Program

Sixth Precinct Sees Rise In Car Robberies BY JENNIFER CORR

jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

uring the Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Associations, Inc. meeting on Sept. 14 inside the Nassau County Police Department Sixth Precinct building, civic leaders discussed issues in the community ranging from parking issues to noise complaints. “We want this place to be the way it is,” Commanding Officer Harun Begis of the Nassau County Police Department Sixth Precinct said. “So we can talk about the issues that you guys are talking about: quality of life issues, pedestrian safety, u-turns...” But, Begis added, if he was a burglar, he would be coming to a nice place like Manhasset and its surrounding areas. “Even in a sleepy place like this, a lot of things happen,” Begis said. “Every month I do a presentation regarding our numbers. The good news... you live in a really nice place where crime, generally, doesn’t occur that much. It really doesn’t.”

The following day after the Greater Council meeting, Begis said he would be leading this presentation in front of the Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder and chiefs in the department. While the numbers are good, among the trends in the precincts he would be

alerting the law enforcement officials to would be an increase in stolen vehicles. “Stolen vehicles are killing us,” Begis said. “we had 11 in this reporting period.” The uptick in stolen vehicles is a trend impacting the entire precinct, which also covers areas like Plandome, Great Neck and Sea Cliff. But, there is a cluster, Begis said, just north of Northern Boulevard, where a sign reminding residents to lock their cars has been placed. “There was 11 cars, every one of them was unlocked and every one had their keys in the car,” Begis said. Stolen cars have become such a problem that reminding residents to lock their cars was among the top items on the meeting’s agenda. Leaving a car unlocked with the keys inside may sound like a rare mistake, but it has become especially easily with the new fob system installed in newer vehicles. These fobs allow drivers to simply press a button to start their car instead of using their

key. And while it’s a habit among many to pull their keys out before leaving their car, perhaps grabbing their fob has not been added to their muscle memory just yet. According to an article from Kelly Blue Book, keyless ignition should make it harder for car thieves. Gone are the days where they would break into the ignition system and rewire it, because the fob system makes that technology useless. A car with a fob can not be started unless the fob is in the car. But still, police departments across the country are reporting a dramatic increase in car thefts where the fob is often left in the car. The simple way to combat this problem: take the fob with you when exiting the car, Kelly Blue Book reports.

TEAM HOPE Makes Waves To Fight Cancer

or the 18th consecutive summer, TEAM HOPE’s swimmers came together for a cause. On a beautiful, but somber day, 42 swimmers, including North Hempstead Country Club’s general manager, pool director, and several lifeguards and wait staff, took to the waters to make waves to fight cancer. The event began with a moment of silence for members who lost their lives in a tragic collision and their grieving families. The Kiess family has been an integral part of TEAM HOPE’s cumulative $1.38 million raised for cancer research, treatment, and prevention. The moment of silence would be repeated at the Sound to Cove open water swim off Garvies Point and the Long Island Swim League Championship. Some swim in memory of lost family members; others swim because they want to make a difference. Most have participated multiple years and over half swim with family members. TEAM HOPE captain Mike Ford, a lifelong swimmer and tireless

advocate, has experienced the pain and loss that cancer causes. He offers swimming and fundraising as a way for the community, especially the kids, to feel mentally and physically empowered through the team efforts. The team shares family and friends’

names and reasons for their efforts on the memory board. Swimmers keep these intentions with them as they swim and enjoy a BBQ dinner together. Team HOPE thanks the North Hempstead Country Club Board, staff,

members and all donors for their support each year, this year resulting in more than $78,000. Those who would like to donate or swim with the team can contact Mike Ford at mnford@aol.com. —Submitted by Team HOPE

Spectrum Designs Adding And Retaining Jobs For Disabled Population Spectrum Designs is one of four Long Island organizations which recently received allocated low-cost electricity from New York Power Authority as part of the state’s ReCharge NY program. This economic development initiative allows qualifying businesses and nonprofits to lower their energy costs in exchange for commitments such as growing employment or expanding operations, with the ultimate goal of attracting, keeping and growing businesses throughout New York. Spectrum Designs is a New Yorkbased full-service custom apparel and promotional products business with a social mission: to provide meaningful and inclusive employment opportunities for people on the autism spectrum. Governor Kathy Hochul, who visited Spectrum Designs’ Westchester location this past April and its flagship location in Port Washington in July, stated that the allocations attract “new private capital investment [by businesses] and create hundreds of good jobs.” For its part, Spectrum’s proven model of upward mobility through

promotions and pay raises is aligned with ReCharge NY’s goal of statewide job creation and retention. In exchange for access to this lower cost energy for the next seven years, the nonprofit has committed to retaining 28 roles and onboarding at least three new team members. At Spectrum Designs, more than 50 percent of the workforce is comprised of New Yorkers with disabilities. Since its inception in 2011, its combined affiliates (including sister enterprises Spectrum Bakes and Spectrum Suds) have provided more than 100,000 hours of paid employment, resulting in total wages of more than $1.5M to this under-served population. “We were informed that the chosen organizations would be ones that ‘do the most good for New York,’ so it is quite an honor to be selected,” Patrick Bardsley, CEO and co-founder of Spectrum Designs, said. “Protecting our planet and seeking ways towards a more sustainable future is as important to us as securing and sustaining employment to people on the autism spectrum.”

Spectrum Designs is committed to helping the planet by using eco-friendly products.

Annual Cigar Party To Benefit JDRF Returns After being postponed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing lockdown, the Gurino Family Annual Cigar Party, hosted by brothers Anthony and Angelo Gurino with Joseph Muré, continued its fall tradition this year at the North Hills Country Club. The Cigar Party, a grassroots effort by the Gurino family to raise money to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), has grown from a small backyard gathering into a popular and well-attended event at a Manhasset Country Club. This year, there were over 600 guests. The event is always an enjoyable evening for family, friends, neighbors, and business associates of the Gurino and Muré families. It marks the unofficial end of summer with cigars, cognac, and good food. However, its real mission is to raise money for JDRF, which is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the

pancreas stops producing insulin. The disease can strike suddenly in both children and adults, leaving them to constantly manage their blood-sugar levels via injection or pump. JDRF states that its “strength lies in [its] exclusive focus on the worldwide effort to end T1D and the power of [its] volunteers.” The Gurino and Muré families are just a handful of those dedicated volunteers whose fundraising efforts for JDRF have contributed to the support of T1D research. Last year alone, $506 million was invested in T1D research, thanks to organizations such as JDRF, governments, and industry partnerships. The research goals of JDRF are to “eradicate T1D by restoring the body’s ability to make insulin and stop T1D before it occurs” and “keep people with T1D as healthy as possible until a cure is found by advancing new T1D resources, technologies, and therapies.” One recent advance in T1D management is the hybrid closed

The integrated system enables users to increase the amount of time that they spend in target glucose range (“timein-range”), both during the day and throughout the night. By maintaining better control of their blood sugar, people living with T1D can limit or avoid the progressive problems that

often accompany the disease. FDAapproved devices for HCL systems are already in use, with more clinical trials in progress for additional systems. The event raised more than $150,000 through the generosity of the guests and the event’s sponsors.

Annual Friends Of The Poor Walk Does Good

rom Sept. 25 to 26, the members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society in St. Mary’s Parish hosted its Annual Friends of the Poor Walk. The society is one of the largest Catholic lay organizations in the world and seeks to relieve suffering through person-to-person involvement of its members with those in need. Vincentian volunteers make home visits to families who ask for help and try to alleviate their stress in some way by offering material, financial and spiritual aid. They also collaborate directly with the Parish Outreach in serving families in the neighborhood. In the St. Mary’s Conference, this year alone, the church has provided assistance with furniture, utility

payments, rent payments, medical expense aid, and car repair bills. These hardships may be a result of a catastrophic illness, loss of employment or the death of a breadwinner. A helping hand to meet an acute need may be all someone needs to get back on their feet. All funds raised through this event remain with the St. Mary’s Conference to help neighbors in need, regardless of their religious denomination. This is the only fundraiser for the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. The church would be so grateful if the community would consider donating so that the church can continue to help neighbors in need. —Submitted by the Church of Saint Mary’s

Manhasset Student Aid Association Appeals For Funds For more than 56 years the Manhasset Student Aid Association (MSAA) has worked to aid Manhasset residents, regardless of what high school they might attend, in paying the escalating costs of higher education. Though this community is an affluent one, many families with situations of job loss, divorce, illness or having several children in college at the same time find the cost of college overwhelming. MSAA steps in to help when other sources of funding have been tapped and families still face a shortfall. Through needs-based grants and interest-free loans, MSAA assists about 30 Manhasset students per year with the cost of college and over the years more than 950 students’ lives have been changed because of receiving MSAA aid. Last year MSAA distributed approximately $70,000 on behalf of these young students. This year with all the complications of the pandemic, the need is even greater than usual and

funds to help harder to come by. The Manhasset Student Aid Association was first formed in the 1960s when The Rev. Gerald Parker of the Congregational Church realized that needy students wishing to go to college were approaching their

church, the Kiwanis, the SCA or other local groups for aid and that a central organization would be a much more efficient way of finding those students in need and aiding them. All the local churches and civic organizations were approached and board

members solicited from each, and MSAA was founded. In those days, when college expenses were much lower, an award of several hundred dollars could be of significant help. Today, however, as the cost of higher education has risen far more steeply than the cost of living, much larger awards are needed and many students fear accumulating huge debts. This increased need has put great emphasis on the need to raise more funds to be able to help the students of today. Donations of any size would be most welcome and help make a difference in students’ lives. Donations can be sent to MSAA PO Box 255 Manhasset NY 11030. Anyone interested in helping MSAA by coming on the board or donating to MSAA can check the website at www.msaainc.org for more information. —Submitted by Manhasset Student Aid Association

Town’s New Recycling Guide And Stickers To Arrive In Mailboxes This Month North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth, the town board and the town’s Solid Waste Management Authority announced that residents will be receiving in their mailboxes a recycling information sheet and decals for labeling recycling and yard waste containers during the month of September.

“A significant priority for me as supervisor has always been the protection and preservation of our local environment, and an important means of achieving that goal is by recycling,” Bosworth said. “Residents must understand that recycling today is much different than what we recycled five or 10 years ago. We hope that

having all this information available in one single document will make it easier for our residents to help us conserve our natural resources and ensure that items are successfully recycled. We encourage our residents to review this information, and, in the process, learn how to reduce waste and leave a lasting, positive impact on our environment.”

The information sheet will detail how to properly discard metal, glass and plastic; mixed paper and cardboard; and yard waste. Also included will be decals for labeling recycling and yard waste set-out containers. For more information, call 311. —Submitted by the Town of North Hempstead

Plandome Road became a sea of orange and blue as the community paraded to Manhasset Secondary School to kick off the day’s celebrations. The classes of Manhasset High School each displayed a banner with their graduating year as they followed decorated cars to the Ed Walsh Field, where the varsity football team faced off against Lynbrook. Ahead of the game, the crowd welcomed back more than 40 members of the Manhasset High School class of 1966, as the alumni gathered for a reunion. The district also held a moment of silence to remember and honor graduates James Farrell, Michael Farrell and Ryan Kiess. who tragically died in a car crash in July. Prior to the day’s festivities, Manhasset High School held a spirit week that culminated on Friday with a pep rally. The excitement carried over into Saturday, allowing for a well-celebrated homecoming. —Submitted by the Manhasset School District

Board Passes On Cannabis Dispensaries

Road safety concerns in Marchant Park are also heard BY RUDY MALCOM

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

lthough recreational marijuana was legalized in New York this spring, the Village of Roslyn Board of Trustees voted on Sept. 21 to ban the smoking and vaping of cannabis products on village-owned properties. Many municipalities across Nassau County have adopted similar laws. The board also voted to opt out of establishing cannabis dispensaries and consumption sites. Village Attorney Johns Gibbons explained that towns and cities cannot opt out past Dec. 31, but retain the ability to decide to opt-in in the future. Given that the state has yet to establish regulations for licensing cannabis distributors, Gibbons advised the board to “take a wait-and-see attitude.” Mayor John Durkin agreed with this approach, noting that it will be months before New Yorkers can buy or sell marijuana legally. While the public made no comments about the cannabis laws, community members were vocal about reviewing signage in the Marchant Park section of Roslyn, citing safety risks. Marc Magid, a resident of the area, said school bus drivers have parked unsafely on the neighborhood’s narrow streets for years. “I’ve had numerous altercations with some of these drivers,” Lyssa Goldberg said. “It’s been really scary. I once almost called the police.” According to Moez Mayourian, the drivers leave large amounts of trash around the neighborhood. In a presentation, he showed photographs of empty liquor bottles on lawns and in the street. He reported a pattern of “unwelcoming, rude behavior” from drivers. Once, he asked a driver, who was speeding near children playing in the street, to slow down. “His exact response was, ‘Next time, maybe I will run over your fat ass,’” Mayourian recalled. Another time, he asked a driver not to park around a bend. The driver’s response, Mayourian said, was “go f**k yourself.”

Resident Moez Mayourian showed photos of trash in Marchant Park during his presentation to the board. (Contributed photo)

This summer, the village took down parking restrictions because the signage was too vague. After the public hearing, the board voted to approve new signage that prohibits street parking between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m., with certain exceptions. The ban will not apply on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays, and parking is never allowed on bends in the road. “As a traffic and transportation engineer, I care about safety,” Trustee Sarah Oral said. Mayor Durkin also started a program to look into giving Marchant Park residents hang tags so that they can legally park outside their homes. Many residents expressed concerns that their visitors would be unable to do so. “If I ask for 20 passes because I’m having a barbecue am I going to have an issue?” Shelly Irizarry asked. While the details have yet to be ironed out, Jed Schlacter believes that “the hang tag is a key solution.” “Everybody in Marchant Park is on the same page; we’re trying to figure out what helps everybody,” he said. “The discussion tonight was

extraordinarily helpful.” The board also voted to approve Lumber Road Roslyn LLC’s application to amend the site plan for a residential rental apartment building. In October 2020, the board approved the applicant’s permit to construct a 33-unit, four-story building on 45 Lumber Rd. located in the Waterfront Development Overlay District. “Enhancements were made because my client and his team... saw an opportunity to draw upon the traditional architecture and materials of the buildings on the waterfront, while upgrading the design to provide a fresh new look,” Anthony Guardino said, who is the lawyer representing Lumber Road Roslyn LLC. The building will have a rooftop terrace, three residential floors and one floor of amenities for tenants, including a gym, an entertainment center, a salon and barbershop, a library and office space. The applicant is also considering building a dock for tenants to launch kayaks or paddle boards. “Our philosophy was to design a high-end luxury building using a

modern contemporary approach and also using brick to tie in a traditional material that complements the buildings in the area,” architect Bill Novak said. However, Mayor Durkin worried that the building’s color palette would look disconnected from the rest of Roslyn. “It’s a very handsome building, but I want to make sure it doesn’t compete with or detract from other buildings in the area,” he said. “I don’t want it sticking out like a sore thumb.” Novak maintained that while the design does not use red brick, the building would still complement the streetscape. “For us to change colors drastically,” he said, “would be an arduous task.” Nevertheless, the application was approved. Guardino is confident that he and his client will be able to come to a resolution with Mayor Durkin. Trustee Craig Westergard, an architect, will continue to assist with the building design. —Rudy Malcom is a contributing writer for Anton Media Group

Board Votes To Draft Local Law Opting Out Of Cannabis Sales/Consumption BY CAROLINE RYAN

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

fter holding two public hearings, the Village of Great Neck Plaza’s Board of Trustees unanimously voted to draft a local law which will allow the village to opt-out of adult-use cannabis retail dispensaries and on-site consumption licenses within the village. The recently passed New York State law, the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA) provides for the legalization of adult-use cannabis possession (in certain specified quantities) for use by adults 21 years of age or older in accordance with the provisions of the state law. Under New York State legislation, cities, towns and villages can render their own decision regarding recreational cannabis sales in their areas. They have until Dec. 31, 2021 to render a decision, but if they decide not to opt-out, that decision is permanent. The second of two public hearings was held on Sept. 21 in which residents were allowed to voice their opinions as to whether or not the village should consider opting into or out of the legislation. One resident stated a few reasons why he felt the village should opt-in to the legislation. “In my opinion, the village should allow a dispensary for the following reasons: One, it is a source of income for the village, as Mayor Rosen mentioned at the last meeting and just now, the village is expected to get between two and three percent income from sales, this money can be used to improve the village,” the resident said. “Two, at the last meeting, a concerned mother voiced her opinion against allowing dispensaries saying it will be easier for teenagers to get drugs. Unfortunately to all the concerned mothers, the reality is that it is easier to get drugs from the school backyard than in a legal dispensary on Middle Neck Road.” Another resident stated why the village should opt-out of the legislation. “This area around here, parking isn’t premium and we also have a lot of alleys that people could come and after they buy their joints walk out and smoke marijuana,” he said. “When these places close at night, what’s going to happen? You don’t think marijuana dealers will come around because they have young people that can’t be sold to and they also have

I think they are going to come around. That’s my opinion and that’s why I oppose—especially on-premise consumption. The police have told me that they are not ready to enforce the marijuana laws because they don’t have the equipment to test how high somebody actually is. This is not the marijuana of the ’60s. This is very high potency marijuana and that’s why I’m against it as a resident and as a property owner in Great Neck.” During the Sept. 22 meeting and after listening to the public input at the previous two meetings, the village’s board of trustees held a discussion as to what decision they should make regarding this legislation. “I think that the two meetings that we had were very productive,” Deputy Mayor Pamela Marksheid said. “We did get a variety of opinions both pro allowing a dispensary in our village and those who were against it. I think that they gave us a lot to think about.” The meeting was then opened to comments from the public, to which no came up to speak. Mayor Ted Rosen then made the recommendation to the board that the village draft a local law which will allow them to opt-out of the legislation. “The issue before us is really a narrow issue and that is whether or not these types of facilities—adult-use cannabis retail dispensaries and/ or on-site consumption licenses— whether these types of facilities one or the other or both will have a beneficial effect on the village, a negative effect

on the village or no effect,” Mayor Rosen said. “At this point, I feel that we are really in the dark because we don’t have experience with this in our village. No one in the state has experience with this. We just don’t know. Some people who have strong opinions that this would be beneficial for the downtown and an equal number of people, perhaps more, said it would not be. I think the most conservative and prudent approach that this village could take is to opt-out.” Mayor Rosen explained that by opting out the village will have the opportunity to see what other communities and villages are experiencing with their decision to opt-in and would then be able to make a decision to opt in at a later time, if they chose to do so. “If we don’t not opt-out now, we cannot opt-in later,” Rosen said. Deputy Mayor Marksheid was in agreement, stating, “We don’t know

how it’s going to work. If we opt-in then we’re stuck, that is the bottom line. If we wait and see if it’s successful [in other areas] without any issues, in a year, if it’s successful then we can opt-in. But if we opt-in first we are stuck with that decision.” Other board members also agreed with the decision to opt-out. The board voted unanimously to draft a local law to opt-out of allowing adult-use cannabis retail dispensaries and on-site consumption licenses from operating within the village. The next Board of Trustees meeting will be held on Oct. 6 at 7 p.m., in which the village board will likely vote on the proposed local law. What did you think of this article?

Hicksville Water District Begins Fall Flushing On Sept. 26 Vital maintenance practice concludes on Oct. 1

The Hicksville Water District (HWD) will be flushing water mains throughout its service area as a part of its regular Distribution System Maintenance Program starting on Sept. 26 and going through Oct. 1 between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. The flushing will be focused in the southeast section of the district service area, between Jerusalem Avenue and South Oyster Bay Road and South of Old Country Road. Residents should remember that their water is absolutely safe to drink during this period. “Flushing our water mains is an important maintenance practice that we perform at the district,” HWD Chairman Karl Schweitzer said. “It helps us remove harmless deposits of sediment that have built up in our water mains over time to ensure our water remains of the highest quality. While flushing is underway, residents may experience pressure

variations as well as temporary instances of discolored water, but please note that the water always remains safe to drink.” This maintenance program is designed to remove any accumulation of dissolved materials which may have settled in the water mains. Slight water pressure variations or discolored water conditions may occur, and water uses such as laundering of clothes may be affected due to coloration of water. If the water in your home does become discolored, it can be solved quickly by running your cold-water faucets until the water clears up. The flushing program is also important because it provides an opportunity for the district to check for leaks, test water pressure, determine the water’s pH level and color and make exact calculations on rates of water flow. —Submitted by the Hicksville Water District

eptember is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and The Sarah Grace Foundation for Children With Cancer, Inc. is ensuring that everyone knows how they can support their mission and these children this year. As an all-volunteer charity, the foundation has worked with thousands of children and their families over the last 18 years, providing numerous programs in an effort to help combat the struggles of this horrific disease. “Every year, over 4,000 children die from cancer,” Foundation Executive Director Matt Weippert said. “Roughly 46 children are diagnosed every day. We are all too familiar with their pain and their struggle and we’re committed to doing all we can to improve their lives even a little bit.” A gold ribbon is the worldwide symbol of childhood cancer awareness and all the members of the foundation are asking that as many people as possible “Go Gold For Our Children” this year and wear a ribbon at some point during the month of September. For just a $10 donation, you can order your own ribbon on the foundation website. Your donation directly supports the programs the foundation runs to support children and their families, such as their hospital Book Carts and toys for families during the holiday season. The foundation is currently in the process of their Sizzling Summer Bake-LESS Cake Sale, where you can make a donation for the price of a traditional bake sale purchase. This year, in lieu of their standard backpacks filled with school supplies, the Foundation supplied families with gift cards to stores such as Target and Staples so they could purchase the back to school supplies they needed. Over the last year, they have also continued to support families with rent and grocery expenses, while partnering with the New York Mets to supply local hospitals with tickets to various Mets

he historic Old Bethpage Village Restoration, with homes and barns dating back to the 18th century, is getting a new makeover for the Halloween season with The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze, a show that incorporates more than 7,000 jack o’lanterns carved by a small team of local artists. “Tomorrow is the first day of fall for [2021], so we are kicking off the season with this legendary event” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said during a Sept. 21 press conference at the restoration. “This is the most

elaborate Halloween event in our region and we’re really proud to be hosting it here, right here at Old Bethpage.” This is the second year that the Jack O’Lantern Blaze, a production of non-profit Historic Hudson Valley, will light up the county. With much popular demand during last year’s show, this year’s show will run for 36 selected evenings. It began on Sept. 22 and it will run through Nov. 7. The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze originally began 17 years ago in the Hudson Valley at Van Corlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson. But the show does not just feature a grand collection of jack o’lanterns; as

sculptures, such as an 80-foot circus train and a sea monster, are part of the Halloween-themed display. A team of artists, light designers and carpenters brought this instillation together. “It’s a real team effort,” Curran said. “There’s a lot that goes into it.” Waddell W. Stillman said that the 80-foot circus train is an ode to 146 year run of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus at the nearby Nassau Coliseum, where the circus chose to close out its decades-long run. “We have created site-specific installations that celebrate the history and culture of the region,” Stillman said.

“There’s also a new, huge pumpkin planetarium complete with a sound and light show and it’s a feast for all senses. There’s a brand new light show that takes over the facade of Hewlett House from 1795, which was built by Charles Hewlett, who belonged to a branch of the colonial family that remained loyal to the crown during the American Revolution.” Returning favorites include displays depicting the Montauk Lighthouse and a tribute to Bethpage’s first responders. And the event is extra safe for the second pandemic-era Halloween, as it’s an outdoor, touch-free attraction.

n the recently completed esplanade complementing RXR Realty’s Harbor Landing and The Beacon at Garvies Point, politicians and activists gathered to advocate for walking and biking instead of driving on Sept. 22. While Long Island has always been known as a place that a car is a necessity, many are working to provide Long Islanders with alternate modes of transportation, whether it’s via the NICE Bus or bike trails. Car Free Day Long Island, which fell on Sept. 22, asks people to make the pledge to go car free, or car lite, for a chance to win prizes and improve their, and the environment’s health. “We got a lot going on, we also just kicked off our shared mobility study to study how people are getting around now after the pandemic,” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said. “We just did a survey and 5,000 people replied, so we’re going to use the data to see what’s a better way to invest our money for transportation.” In Glen Cove, a new, popular mode of transportation is a pair of feet or wheels on the new esplanade that connects Garvies Point to a scenic trail, parks and the business district in the downtown area. In fact, the executive director of the Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District, Patricia Holman, just released a video that depicts how Glen Cove residents can get to their favorite downtown restaurants from their neighborhoods, the Long Island Rail Road station or the popular Deep Roots Farmers Market that takes place in Garvies Point on Saturdays. “I am very proud to be here to celebrate Car Free Day Long Island with a walk through our new esplanade,” City of Glen Cove Mayor Tim Tenke said. “This is a wonderful, new area that’s dedicated for pedestrians... as well as people who want to take their pets to the beautiful dog park that’s over here. There’s a lot to do and this goes all the way to downtown, our center of town, all the way to the point here.” The esplanade, completed in the spring, features seating with power outlets, a view of the New Rochelle skyline, a wetlands pier that will be used for educational purposes, the yet to be opened ferry and access to the Garvies Point Brewery and other local restaurants. On the afternoon of Sept. 22, many were taking advantage of the esplanade by going for brisk walks or walking their four-legged friends. “It’s beautiful to see people out, enjoying the beautiful esplanade,” Glen Cove City Councilman Gaitley Stevenson-Mathews said. “The fact that we are linking this entire

Shah said seniors told him of the improvements in the quality of life that the routines brought about. Before the program, certain seniors would be scared to make a trip to a place like ShopRite out of fear of not having the strength to go up and down the aisles. As each session passed though, that became the case less and less. “It felt really good because I was able to bring help to a lot of seniors living there,” Shah said. As the summer concluded, he received a call one Thursday that he was being honored by the community with a luncheon. He said the ceremony left an impact on him, and he cried tears of gratitude in his car after he left the luncheon that day. “It was a great honor of meeting those seniors there,” he said. “For me to give back to the seniors and the community, it’s heart-touching.” For Shah, the work was gratifying and it showed him how he could pass on the lessons learned through this experience to his children. He also felt like he was returning the favor as a younger person to the seniors who served in the military before his time. “It motivates me to do good for the community,” he said about his experience. Shah has already planned out working with the community next summer to keep up the program and help more senior citizens recover from injuries and build body strength so that they can get back to living life as normal as possible.

e dove in head-first, and he came up from under the water helping others. Plainview resident and cardiologist at Paragon health network Ken Shah was recognized at a luncheon on Sept. 16 for his work in creating a summer aquatic rehabilitation program from the ground up for low-income senior citizens in Melville that improved the quality of life for those living in the residency. For Shah, the program was much more than creating exercise routines. Rather, it was a way for him to give back to the community. “By using aquatic therapy, I was able to bring about change,” Shah said about the summer program. Shah is no stranger to starting a program such at this. He works as Senior Coordinator for the Cardiopulmonary program for Paragon Health Network and is based at Excel at Woodbury for Rehabilitation and Nursing. He developed a specialty in aquatic therapy around 2015 when he was offered by his company to take continuing education classes. After the classes, he began to develop water-based exercise programs while working in the outpatient department. This year, he was asked by Paragon’s community liasion what he could do to keep senior citizens active. Shah decided start a program over the summer for the senior citizens in Melville. Adapting his already-established exercise rountines, he began teaching classes on Thursdays throughout the summer. On hot summer days, Shah and the participants were able to cool off as he led residents through different exercises in each session: Stretching, breathing, Pilates or strength depending on the day. “By using aquatic therapy, it makes them become a lot stronger,” and improves daily living, Shah said. Over the summer, he created a bond with those he taught and had regulars coming back each Thursday. His goal was to teach these residents the exercises they needed to get back on their feet and keep up with the program on their own. The weekly session became so popular that people waited in line outside the pool facility in hopes of being one of the 25 people that secured a spot for each lesson.

Sea Cliff School Garden Farm To Table Dinner

n the evening of Sept. 17, the Sea Cliff School PCA Garden was transformed into a magical space which could easily have competed with any five-star restaurant. In a celebration of a wonderfully rich and plentiful garden, diners were treated to a 4-course meal prepared by star chefs, who also happen to be local Sea Cliff School parents. The menu was amazing and the outdoor space was dreamy. With string lights and beautiful views of the luscious vegetable and herb garden, it was difficult to remember diners were on the school’s blacktop. Tea lights (battery operated), flowers (donated by Baron Floral Designs) and herbs decorated the tables. Resource Room Teacher Mojdeh Hassani has become the school’s liaison to the garden, helping to run the garden club and summer program and serving on the Garden’s Advisory Board. This beautiful night was Hassani’s vision and she made it a success. “It was such a fun event,” Hassani said. “I enjoyed every minute of it, I am delighted for everyone to see how extraordinary the garden is.” No detail was left to chance, and Hassani enlisted the help of her colleagues to serve as wait staff and mocktail servers. Teachers David Schultz, Lauren Kottler, Megan McCormack, Jodie Larson, Lindsay Feibus, Amelia Hecker and Nina Becker all did a phenomenal job ensuring the night went off without a hitch. In addition, none of it would have been possible without the constant support and encouragement of the tirelessly dedicated principal, Jeanette Wojcik. The incredible chefs who donated their valuable time and expertise to this dinner created a menu on par with a Michelin rated restaurant. French Culinary Institute trained Chef Maggie Odell, who is also a culinary instructor, created and prepared an Ajo Blanco amuse-bouche that was a delectable soup of garlic grown by Sea Cliff School students last school year and harvested during the summer program. Next, Odell devised a gorgeous salad, which included lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and green beans from the garden. Also, French Culinary Institute trained, acclaimed chef Jason Potter, from Blue Ribbon restaurants and most recently, proprietor of the Sea Cliff Beach Cliffside Cafe, created the next two divine courses. Using the Long Island Cheese Pumpkins that are growing along the Franklin Avenue fence of the garden, Potter made a Pumpkin Raviolo with sage-infused butter that melted on diner’s tongues.

t was one of the most anticipated games of the season. MacArthur and Garden City faced off on the gridiron last spring, a rematch of the 2019 Nassau County championship game. The game was nearly at halftime when MacArthur quarterback Jack Butler tried a quarterback sneak on fourth

Well, a little more than five months later, Butler made a triumphant return to the field. In the second game of the season, Jack connected with teammate James Napoli for a 59-yard touchdown pass and the Generals are 2-0 on the season.

The Anton Media Group caught up with Jack Butler to talk about his journey back to football.

Q A

What motivated you to come back from this injury? Multiple things motivated me to come back. Certainly the overwhelming love and support I got from my friends and family helped me. I think most of all was that our team had unfinished business. After watching the games at the end of last

What was the most rewarding part of the comeback? Getting into the game during our home opener was probably the most rewarding part. That was the moment when I officially said to myself. “I’m back!”

How many hours a day did you put into your rehab? Several hours a day. At first the doctors would not allow me to do much, but I found things I could do.

Seventh Squad Detectives report the arrest of two Levittown men on Sept. 16 at 7 a.m. in Wantagh. According to detectives, Nassau County Marine Bureau Officers were assigned to Marine One, which was docked at Wantagh Park Marina. Officers noticed a black Honda SUV with garbage scattered all around it. They also noticed a male slumped over the steering wheel with his eyes closed while the car was running. Officers proceeded to perform a welfare check on the driver and attempted to contact the two occupants of the vehicle. While the officers tried to awake the male seated in the driver seat, the passenger of the car became very combative. He refused to comply with lawful commands and continuously made attempts to remove items from the car. Officers then discovered the black Honda SUV was stolen. Upon further investigation the two subjects were discovered to be in possession of controlled substances and multiple stolen credit cards. Following a thorough investigation along with the evidence and information the officers were able to gather, it was determined that the two defendants, 19-yearp-old Andrew Franzo and 21-year-old Nicolas Bocci, were responsible for multiple larcenies

roadway barriers at exit 46—Sunnyside Boulevard, causing the death of the right rear passenger, a 22-year-old male from Middle Island. The operator of the sedan, a 19-year-old male from Middle Island, suffered minor injuries; the right front passenger a 23-year-old male from Bellport suffered two broken legs and minor facial injuries; and the left rear passenger a 24-year-old Elmont male sustained minor injuries; all three are listed in stable condition. The 57-yearold female operator of the second vehicle sustained neck and back injuries and is also listed in stable condition. Both vehicles were impounded from the scene. The investigation is ongoing.

In Memory of

Rosemary Rita Zito Molinaro May 5, 1921 - August 25, 2021

Rosemary Rita Zito Molinaro passed away at home in Kings Point, NY on August 25, 2021, after 100 years of gracing this Earth with her loving heart and beauty, winning smile and smart, inquisitive mind. Her strong-willed optimism of “I can, I will, I must” was matched by her unconditional love of her family. She reveled in motherhood and loved children, gave selflessly as a devoted wife to Albert, mother to Lorraine M. Molinaro and Valerie A. Molinaro, also of Kings Point, and grandmother to Michelle Birnbach Katz, while also welcoming her son-in-law Howard and grandson-in-law Danny into the family. Children naturally gravitated to her, and she found gratification as a volunteer at the Head Start program in the City of Peekskill school system and as a substitute teacher at Church of the Assumption, Peekskill, as well as a volunteer at The Field Library, Peekskill. Born on May 5, 1921, in the Bronx, she graduated from Evander Childs High School in 1939 with honors and went on to business school to learn Gregg Shorthand stenography. She started out as a bookkeeper at The Fireside Inn, Manhattan, preceded each work day by Mass, and then was in customer service and various other roles at Macy’s, while she waited patiently for her husband to return from Army service overseas during World War II. She was a gifted writer of poetry and prose, loved books, libraries, birds and trees and would arise at dawn to search in philosophy, religion and medical books for answers to the question “why?” Rosemary was very civic-minded, always wondering why civics was no longer taught in schools, was active in local community matters, including as a volunteer for The American Cancer Society 1960s door-to-door study, and found time to take college courses at Fordham University. She was a proud government employee in the late State Senator Frank Padavan’s Office, the Queens District Attorney’s Office and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, from which she retired, and she always had an American flag displayed in her home, whether in The Bronx, Peekskill, Albany, Oakland Gardens or Kings Point. Her unconditional love and tireless care were served with a cup of tea which “made everything better”, healing many wounds. She was interred in a private service with the assistance of Fairchild Sons, Inc. Funeral Chapel at Nassau Knolls Cemetery in Port Washington, New York, under a cherry tree with chimes playing from the bell tower. In lieu of flowers, remembrances made with the donation of a favorite book in her name at a local library would bring a smile from Heaven.

Thomas Crombie Thomas (Ikemoto) Crombie, aged 92, of Naples, FL, formerly of Manhasset, NY, went to be with his Lord on Sunday, September 11, 2021. Born on April 5, 1929 to Ella Crombie and George Ikemoto, Tom grew up in Hamilton, Ontario. At the age of 15,he furtively enlisted in the US Army as a Canadian citizen, proudly serving in active duty in the Pacific until he was 17. During World War II, the US Military made it a priority to provide ice cream to the troops, and Tom quickly became a master ice cream maker, fulfilling his comrades’ poignant desire for home and comfort. Suffering wounds from a gasoline tanker explosion, he was awarded the Purple Heart. Tom greatly valued his service and was a proud veteran. After the war, he had several successful business endeavors and traveled extensively throughout the world. He lived in Asia for a time, designing and installing complex corporate filing systems. During his time overseas, he developed a life-long love of antiques and collectibles. He also became a certified coin and stamp collector and learned the art of auctioneering valuable antiques. Tom faithfully served the Manhasset community through the local VFW Lodge, American Legion Post 304, the Old Goats Club, Feline Rescue, and the Masonic Lodge. A dedicated member of his church, The Community Reformed Church at Manhasset, Tom served as an ordained deacon and held many positions on committees. He was previously married to Lucille until her death on October 9, 2009. He is survived by his wife Patricia, stepdaughter Kim, and stepson Michael. His loved ones will fondly remember his friendly smile, waggish manner, enormous charm, childlike sense of humor, and gleeful chortles. He will also be remembered for his unwavering commitment to our country—a true hero who gave his life to something bigger than himself. A wake was held for Tom in Naples, FL and another in Manhasset with a funeral service followed by a committal ceremony at Pine Lawn Cemetery in Farmingdale. Donation’s in Tom’s Memory may be made to: The American Legion’s Operations Comfort Warriors Program which provides assistance and comfort to military personnel and veterans recovering from wounds and illnesses. 226937 M

FULL RUN

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t worry about getting things right. If you just do fewer things wrong, you’ll progress nicely. The importance of self-awareness is emphasized. Extend generous support to yourself while assessing your mistakes. It’s a success shortcut! Making corrections is easier than building entirely new skills. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You think you can control the amount of effort you put into a thing, though even that can sometimes seem unlikely. Interruptions and diversions can knock you off your game. Stay determined. Pop back up and take charge. Sometimes the best call is to ignore the noise and plow right on through to the next scene.

INTERNATIONAL INTERNATIONAL WORD WORD FIND FIND Night at the opera 18 Letters Solution: WORD FIND

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 completed the puzzle, there will be 18 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

Night at the opera Solution: 18 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Plain and simple; there’s too much pressure. Something has to give. Drop one of the rules, for instance, the one about the timeframe. Or what if you let go of the rule about whose responsibility it is? Could you delegate? Wiggle room is not enough. Expand the margins until there’s room to actually dance. CANCER (June 22-July 22). What you keep track of gains importance. What you don’t measure may still have an impact, but no psychic weight leading up to the event. You don’t always get to decide what you’re aware of, though it helps to place yourself well. A simple success key: Get close to good influences. Flee bad ones.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll set a standard for yourself. It seems like this would make more work for you, but it actually makes less. Once you know what you have to do, when and where, there are no more decisions; all you have to do is show up and execute. Showing up isn’t hard for you and the execution gets easier with each repetition. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Stay responsive to social and power dynamics. Thinking about how you come across is part of this, though too much self-consciousness can interfere with your ease. If you don’t judge yourself harshly, you’ll be less worried about the judgment of others. Breathe in confidence. You’re doing better than you think. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You learned long ago that doing what’s good for you doesn’t often feel amazing in the moment. Awkwardness and pain are part of growth. When you push out of your comfort zone in one area, the experience builds you up, making you better in other areas, too. It’s how you’ll take a proud leap forward this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a beautiful array of options. Remember when you had none? Too many options cause decision paralysis, but you’ll get around that by paying attention to the three choices that fit a specific criterion. Also, if you are having trouble seeing your options, seek other perspectives -- especially from an Aquarius. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This week’s games happen in the social and professional sector. You won’t play until you’ve observed enough to understand the rules. The power player is the one controlling the options. Many options are not presented. Your creativity will produce more still. Observation, timing and guts will put you on top. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t expect yourself to know it all, to do it right or to feel like you have it together. More people are “faking it” than you think. Top performers are frequently feeling some degree of inadequacy or vulnerability because they are pushing themselves into new territory. With persistence and time, you’ll gain the skill.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ve meandered before, so you know the preciousness of the solar return gift you receive from the cosmos: clarity of purpose. Vivid goals and bright connections drive you in the months to come. You’ll enact efficient renovations and put new programs into motion. Frugality in several areas allows you a long-awaited purchase. You’ll masterfully apply resources where they pay handsomely. You’re the strength of your group and will lead, teach and lift with your example. COPYRIGHT 2021 CREATORS.COM

ution: Getting some culture

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s better if you don’t answer every question asked of you. Society already extracts a certain amount of your individuality for the common good. You should not have to give up too much more for a fulfilling personal life. You deserve to feel free and powerful in relationships. Assert your independence and autonomy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You warn people in your own nice way: give them subtle signals, nonverbal clues and a free pass or two if necessary. Not everyone is in tune to social nuances though, and there will definitely be a learning curve to the interactions of the week. Patience and kindness are a start; boundaries and clarity go the distance.

Jordan’s dad, so whenever I see Jordan, the fact that I know Jamaal Wilkes and he knows me—that’s the coolest thing ever. Plus he was in that great movie when I was a kid—Cornbread, Earl and Me. The little kid in the movie with him is actually Lawrence Fishburne at the age of 10.”

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

merging from the pandemic with the ambitious Butter Miracle: Suite One, Counting Crows and its earnest frontman Adam Duritz return with a glam-influenced EP that brings to mind early ‘70s Bowie, Mott the Hoople and Lou Reed more in spirit than sound. Along with getting back to music full-time, sports fanatic Duritz is back to indulging his passion as this industry is also emerging from the ashes of COVID-19. Since moving to Oakland in 1974, Duritz has been a huge Bay Area sports fan, pulling for the Golden State Warriors and the A’s, inheriting his love of both teams from his Philly-born father, where he rooted for both franchises before they pulled up stakes for the West Coast. The following are Duritz’s favorite hardwood Warriors.
