Temple files suit against town The Town of Oyster Bay halted construction on the Sikh temple. BY STEVE MOSCO

SmoSco@antonmediagroup.com

Members of a Sikh temple in Plainview believe they have fallen prey to religious discrimination and have filed a federal lawsuit against the Town of Oyster Bay. The Guru Gobind Singh Sikh Center, at 1065 Old Country Rd., filed a lawsuit against the town, its board and individual members of the board, challenging the town’s zoning regulations and what the temple charges is a targeted resolution effectively prohibiting temple members from worshiping. The complaint alleges violations of the First and Fourteenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution, the federal Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) and the New York Constitution. Religious land uses are protected from undue burdens, discrimination and arbitrary treatment under RLUIPA, which was passed by Congress in 2000 to

prevent discrimination against religious institutions in land use regulation.

‘‘

The town’s highest priority is ensuring that there is adequate parking and that all relevant environmental reviews are followed so as to not disturb the surrounding community’s peaceful enjoyment of their neighborhood.”

”

— Supervisor John Venditto The complaint describes the town’s “arbitrary, capricious and illegal actions taken to prevent the Sikh congregation from continuing to worship as it has since 1987, on the same property in a new replacement

(Photos by John Spagnoli) temple building.” In early 2014, the temple applied to the town to replace its aging house of worship with a modern facility. That same year, the town approved the temple’s site plan and a building permit was issued on March 7, 2014. The temple then demolished its existing building, and in October 2014, construction of the new Sikh temple commenced. After receiving quality of life complaints from residents, the town issued a Stop Work Order on July 2, 2015, as construction was nearing completion. In order to accommodate the residents, the temple submitted a new site plan that was approved and then nullified by the town board, which then directed the temple to reapply for site plan approval—which would have left the temple’s congregation without a house of worship for several years. “I’ve never seen a violation of RLUIPA as blatant as this,” said Roman Storzer, co-counsel for the temple. “To

A team of Winthrop-University Hospital researchers, led by Plainview’s Eitan M. Akirav, PhD, a research scientist at WinthropUniversity Hospital in Mineola, has found a biomarker for multiple sclerosis (MS), allowing the team to develop a new, minimally invasive test for the disease. The biomarker’s applications would include a more accurate diagnosis of MS, a better assessment of disease prognosis, how well the patient is responding to therapy and the possibility of measuring cell loss in the blood to test how well new drugs and therapies work. “We have tremendous hope that this will improve the quality of care that is available to patients with MS and allow us to diagnose the disease much sooner, so that they are able to receive the right therapy as soon as possible, and not be in limbo, waiting for another occurrence,” said Akirav. When relapsing-remitting MS—the most common form of the disease which affects 80–85 percent of MS patients and is characterized by symptoms that appear and then disappear before returning—is suspected, the patient must wait for a second

Guidance Recognized For College Tour The Plainview-Old Bethpage School District’s John F. Kennedy High School guidance department and guidance counselor Jason Miller were recently presented with the Nassau Counselors’ Association’s Exemplary Practice Award for their Sophomore College Tour. The field trip, which provided approximately 50 sophomore students an opportunity to visit several schools in the Boston area, was recognized for being innovative and easily adaptable for other schools to use within their Guidance director Laurie Lynn and guidance counselor own programs.

In light of last month’s attacks in Orlando, FL, Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District’s Parkway Elementary School held a school-wide ceremony to honor the memory of lives that were lost. Based on student suggestions, all students and staff wore rainbow colors. Principal Ronelle Hershkowitz used the ceremony as a teachable moment, focusing on tolerance and acceptance. During the ceremony, Parkway students congregated around its acclaimed Peace Pole and listened to Hershkowitz emphasize the importance of inclusion and celebrating differences. Students concluded the ceremony by singing a song about peace. —Herald Staff

Second-grade students observe chicks hatching right in their classroom. The Plainview-Old Bethpage School District recently offered an opportunity for second-grade students at Old Bethpage Elementary School to observe the life cycle of chicks in their classroom. Students built brooders, fed and took care of the chickens. The experience aimed to apply science, technology, engineering and mathematics lessons to the classroom curricula, while also teaching students about nature and responsibility. —Herald Staff

RESEARCH from page 1 episode to occur before a diagnosis can be made. Then the patient must undergo a spinal cord tap—a painful and somewhat risky procedure. This new research would allow for diagnosis by a simple blood test, allowing for earlier diagnosis and intervention. Moreover, it can be repeated and allows for a much simpler and quicker way to determine if particular medical therapies are working for a specific patient and enables their physicians to tailor their treatments more closely to each individual patient. “When cells die in one area of the body, the DNA is dumped into the blood,” said Akirav. “There is a specific cell in the brain known to be affected by MS. By studying the DNA in someone’s blood, if we find DNA that came from the brain, it indicates the person is losing cells in the brain and can be a strong indicator of MS. We can see this by a blood sample, without an invasive procedure. Studying the blood is a direct route to studying the brain, providing more access to what can be a ‘black box’ for researchers and drug companies.” The research was conducted by comparing the blood from patients with active relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) to those from patients with inactive disease, and individuals without MS. The characteristics are minimally invasive and low cost, making it an affordable alternative to current approaches. The researchers will soon be expanding their research to other forms of MS, including primary progressive and secondary

The research was funded by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation’s Marilyn Hilton Award for Innovation in MS Research, and the results are published online in the journal EBioMedicine, which can be viewed at www.biomedicine.com/article/ S2352-3964(16)30288-2/abstract?rss=yes.

LAWSUIT from page 1 process the temple’s applications, accept their fees, approve the building, allow them to spend enormous sums for construction and then to prevent its completion, is as significant a burden on constitutionally protected religious worship as I’ve ever seen.” Supervisor John Venditto said that although the filing of the lawsuit limits the town’s ability to comment, there has never been any deviation from the town’s original position that this is not a matter of religion. “The town’s highest priority is ensuring that there is adequate parking and that all relevant environmental reviews are followed so as to not disturb the surrounding community’s peaceful enjoyment of their neighborhood,” said Venditto. “The town has gone on record saying that the Sikh congregation has been a valued neighbor and a part of the Oyster Bay

community for over 30 years and it is our hope that we can resolve this matter amicably.” Paul Savad, lead attorney for the temple, said that unless the town can quickly come to terms with the temple, it will proceed to a jury trial and will recover money damages, with the plaintiff’s legal fees also reimbursed by the town. “The town issued illegal and improper stop work orders based upon political, biased, improper, non-existent offsite parking and environmental review issues,” said Savad. “The approved site plan, for which a building permit was issued, provides 64 on-site parking spaces, although the Town Zoning Ordinance requires 21 on-site spaces; and no environmental review for the project was or is required because the new temple is a nearly complete replacement of a structure, in kind, on the same site.”

Turning Garbage Into Gratitude BY BETSY ABRAHAM

babraham@antonmediagroup.com

What’s the answer to the world’s problems? If you ask Rabbi Anchelle Perl, of the Chabad of Mineola, the answer is simple: gratitude. “If there was more gratitude for each other, it would create more harmony,” Perl said. “If a person has gratitude, he has greater respect for others and it makes the person better, creating human dignity and appreciation. A lot of the problems we have today could be bridged with simple gratitude.” Perl is taking steps towards harmony this summer, with his “salute to sanitation” initiative. Perl, along with members from the Chabad of Mineola, are visiting sanitation departments all over Nassau County, bringing workers water bottles and expressing their

thanks for all their hard work. “These people go about their work every day to keep the community clean and healthy. We wanted to reach out to them to show them our appreciation,” said Perl. Perl plans to stop at various other sanitation departments over the summer and expects to meet with 500 workers. The first stop was last Thursday, July 14, as Perl went to the Town of Oyster Bay’s Department of Public Works in Syosset to meet workers and hand out water bottles. The experience was exhilarating and moving, said Perl. “Typically we only see sanitation workers in a rushed, rough environment,” he said. “It was so nice to meet with them and shake their hands. It was a fun moment and they appreciated it.”

Plainview Students Win Awards For Poetry Skills

Seventh- and eighth-grade students from Plainview-Old Bethpage School District’s Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School were recently selected as winners of the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association’s 13th annual Student Poetry Contest. Among the winners from Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School were Gregory Kies, who was selected as the Grand Champion for grades seven and eight, and Lauren Park, who was selected as the winner for grade eight. In addition, Gregor Reinbold’s eighth-grade class won for its class anthology of

poetry. For the contest, the students were challenged to submit original poems based on Walt Whitman’s work entitled, A Child Went Forth. Students attended an awards ceremony at the Walt Whitman House to celebrate their recognition with their teacher Reinbold. Participating in the prestigious poetry competition is one of the many ways the Plainview-Old Bethpage School District encourages students explore their creativity and to enjoy literature. —Herald Staff

Water District Reminds Residents To Test Backflow The Plainview Water District Commissioners Joel R. Kessler, Andrew N. Bader and Marc B. Laykind remind residents of the state mandate to have their home backflow prevention devices tested to protect the public water supply from contamination. New York State Law requires residents to have backflow prevention devices tested annually to ensure they are functioning properly. In order to assist residents with this

important process, the Plainview Water District has provided a list of state-certified testers on their website, www.plainviewwater.org. “New York state requires people to have their backflow prevention devices tested annually to preserve the integrity of our public water supply,” said Kessler. “The Plainview Water District is here to help residents comply with this state-mandated requirement.” Backflow prevention devices keep

potentially contaminated water out of the public water supply if pressure drops due to fire emergencies or a water main break. Testing at least once a year is of paramount importance, particularly before sprinkler systems are turned back on and usage increases. New York state Department of Health certified backflow testers make sure backflow prevention devices meet all state-mandated

guidelines. The Plainview Water District is available to help residents throughout this process. Anyone with questions regarding the state law or the specifics of backflow prevention device testing can contact the Plainview Water District Cross Connection Control Office at 516-931-6469, extension 127 or 142, or visit the district’s website at www. plainviewwater.org. —Herald Staff

EDITORIAL Please Don’t Catch ‘Em All Murder. Robbery. Trespassing. Pedophiles. Spying. Infidelity. Identity theft. The wildly successful Pokémon franchise has been around for more than 20 years but, in less than two weeks, these are all things that have been associated with the latest location-based virtual-reality game, Pokémon Go. Businesses, museums, parks and virtually all places wanting to boost foot traffic are hopping on the bandwagon, advertising specials, incentives and discounts specifically for Pokémon hunters. I’ve even seen a university advertising use of the game as an incentive to get potential students to register for summer courses on their campus. My cousin, who lives in Missouri, relayed what appeared to be a zombie apocalypse in his downtown area yesterday. He watched dozens of people holding their cell phones up to their faces and carelessly wandering through the neighborhood, which led me to think, I don’t want Poke-hunters wandering into my backyard.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Stop Gun Violence We have had far too many moments of silence since Sandy Hook. Our children and our families deserve real action and change to stop the epidemic of gun violence in our country. We must demand this action from our elected officials, and we must take action in our own communities. More and more of our neighbors are uniting to bring the change we need. The phones in Congress are ringing off the hook, rallies are growing in numbers, and press events are being held in capitals across the country. The movement is growing, and we must keep growing it. Gun violence prevention is not a partisan issue. Gun violence impacts us all. When we live in a country where we must fear sending our children to school or the movies, we can no longer hide behind the political status quo. Orlando marked the deadliest mass shooting our nation has seen. Since this tragedy, we have seen the nation come together in powerful ways, with members of both parties stepping up to support commonsense gun violence prevention legislation. Surely, we can all agree that the most dangerous

people amongst us, including terrorists, should not have access to firearms. There is reason to have hope that we can prevent gun violence before it happens. We can do this through sensible gun safety laws and programs in our schools and communities that help us identify the signs and signals, and intervene before a shooting happens. There are simple actions you can take to keep this hope alive and bring the change we need. Call on your state’s congressional leaders to support gun violence prevention legislation to keep guns out of dangerous hands. Specifically, call the Capitol Hill switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for your senators or representative. Attend the hundreds of local rallies, marches and community and press events taking place around the country and in your backyard. Spread the word, through letters like this one, word of mouth and social media, about the need for commonsense gun reform. Finally, learn about Sandy Hook Promise’s free violence prevention programs, which can be implemented in our schools and communities. More information can be found at www.sandyhookpromise.org. With your help, we can make

history. Congress is listening, and is closer than ever to passing meaningful legislation that can help prevent gun violence before it happens. Every effort – no matter how seemingly small—makes a difference and is part of the cumulative movement of Sandy Hook Promise and other concerned citizens across the country who want to see an end to gun violence. —Laurie K. Gibbons

Symbols Of Collective Purpose America is so divided today, especially politically, we might think there are no ways in which we are united. Well, I believe we have at least a few symbols of collective purpose. Our National Park Service celebrating its 100th anniversary is one. More than 95 percent of Americans love our parks and one in four families visit them every year. These visitors don’t want to see them overrun by oil and gas development. They want to see trees, mountains, clean rivers, breathe fresh air, and a place where birds, fish and other wild animals can live. Another symbol of our collective purpose is” the right to bear arms.”

However, our forefathers didn’t understand the need for restrictions. We do. Most Americans today are looking for effective gun control. Allowing people who are on the FBI’s watch list to ever purchase a gun-or permitting the sale of an AR-15—which is not a weapon used to kill deer—is wrong. Laws must be passed ASAP to prevent this. The last collective symbol we have before us is our flag. What the red, white, and blue represents is liberty and freedom, not repression and targeting of others. Our country needs to keep its doors open to those people who want a chance at a better life. The two- to three-year vetting process by the U.S. Immigration Service allows for that. Newcomers should be welcomed. It is a shame that homegrown terrorists do no understand the values that we cherish. In my opinion, fear and hatred should not rule. We should continue to embrace our notion of “Sweet land of Liberty.” Remember that to keep our country safe and healthy—as we want our beautiful land areas and cities to be—we must renew our determination to keep our collective purposes at the forefront. —Elaine Peters

THEATER REVIEW

Cirque du Soleil Soars With Paramour BY BETSY ABRAHAM

BaBraHam@antonmediagroup.com

The circus has come to Broadway. Cirque du Soleil—known for its touring shows that combine circus arts and street performance—debut Paramour, its first Broadway show back in April, bringing high-caliber theatrics and aerobatics to the Lyric Theatre. Paramour follows the story of Indigo (Ruby Lewis), a scarlet-haired singer who is discovered by AJ Golden (Jeremy Kushnier), a powerful movie director looking for his next star. With her earnest, doe-eyed composer, Joey (Ryan Vona) in tow, the pair head off to Hollywood as Golden promises Indigo fame and fortune while Joey tries to write the perfect love song. A love triangle predictably develops, which may be an overdone plotline but lends itself beautifully to scenes like “The Dream” and “Indigo’s Decision,” where Cirque performers capture the complicated emotions of jealousy and love through acrobatics. What the show lacks in storyline, it makes up fully in jaw-dropping theatrics. There is no lack of amusements with Paramour, as the show packs in flips, acrobatics, trapeze and juggling routines that will leave the audience breathless. The world-renowned Atherton brothers—aerial strap artists who dangle dozens of feet in the air holding onto nothing more than long straps—are one of the show’s best acts, as are acrobats Martin Charrat, Myriam Deraiche and Samuel William Charlton who dangle and flip upside down from a trapeze with complete control. Brilliant choreography and strong vocals shine throughout and the show marries well the mixture of Broadway theatrics with circus stunts. While the acrobatics take center stage, performances by Lewis, who makes a memorable debut, and the rest of the cast, help the whole show come together well. This is a show that audience members won’t be able to look away from. Visit www.cirquedusoleil.com/paramour to find out more.

MUSIC

DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

Power Pop Primer

Residing at a stylistic crossroads that’s found them influencing legions of bands in the worlds of pop, hard rock, new wave, heavy metal and punk, Cheap Trick has kept the flame burning bright for American rock and roll for the past four plus decades. This year not only found the foursome of Rick Nielsen, Robin Zander, Tom Petersson and Bun E. Carlos rightfully and finally getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but the the three members minus Carlos (Nielsen’s son plays drums in Carlos’ stead) released Bang, Zoom, Crazy... Hello, the band’s first studio record in five years and one that has many calling it their best. The following are some other notable parts of the band’s canon you should check out. Cheap Trick (Epic) [1977] - A power pop masterpiece, the combination of killer guitar riffs and stacked harmonies initially went overlooked by American audiences despite the band’s ability to clothe bizarre topics

like suicide (“Oh, Candy”), mass murder (“The Ballad of TV Violence”) and pedophiles (“Daddy Should Have Stayed in High School”) in killer arrangements. In Color (Epic) [1977] More pop manna can be found on Cheap Trick’s sophomore bow including the Beach Boys-inspired “Southern Girls,” the manic album opener “Hello There” and the frenetic studio version of “I Want You to Want Me.” Heaven Tonight (Epic) [1978] - Despite having a slightly slicker production sheen, this collection of songs contains plenty of classics including a sneering song about suicide (“Auf Wiedersehen”), the evils of drugs (the psychedelic title cut) and a killer Move cover (“California Man”). Cheap Trick at Budokan (Epic) [1978] - The band’s breakthrough album

captured a rabid Japanese fanbase’s ardor and carryied it back to Cheap Trick’s home country thanks to stellar live readings of “I Want You to Want Me,” “Surrender” and a hit cover of Fats Domino’s “Ain’t That a Shame.” Dream Police (Epic) [1979] - Fresh off of Budokan’s success, Cheap Trick’s fourth studio album was their most successful commercial outing thanks to the bombastic and ubercatchy title cut, stomping “Gonna Raise Hell” and the yearning “Need Your Love.” Next Position Please (Epic) [1983] - This Todd Rundgren-produced outing is a return to pure pop with a dash of new wave thanks to the harmony-soaked Zander gem “I Can’t Take It,” an earnest reading of The Motors’

“Dancing the Night Away” and an equally poppy take on Rundgren’s “Heaven’s Falling.” Cheap Trick ‘97 (Red Ant Records) [1997] - After a string of lackluster efforts through most of the 1980s and 1990s, this collection found Cheap Trick getting back to writing gems like the bittersweet “Say Goodbye,” poignant “It All Comes Back to You” and chiming “Hard to Tell.” The Latest (Cheap Trick Unlimited) [2009] Opening with the dreampop “Sleep Forever,” Cheap Trick deals out more power pop manna including the jagged “California Girl,” the thrashing “Sick Man of Europe” and a breezy take on Slade’s “When the Lights Are Out.”

Don’t think of them as traffic cones. But as part of a $500 million improvement plan. We know our crews make getting around a hassle now and then. But all that work is a sign of our investment creating the most reliable electric system possible right here on Long Island. So not only will we respond to downed power lines faster, we’ll be able to prevent many outages before they occur. The cones will soon be gone—the improvements will be here for years to come.

“NOTHING WAS GOING TO KEEP ME FROM MY DAUGHTER’S WEDDING, NOTHING DID.” - ANTHONY PANCELLA III

Thanks to the life-saving team at St. Joseph Hospital Anthony Pancella III eagerly anticipated traveling to Florida for his daughter’s wedding. As he was having dinner with his family one Saturday evening, he felt a sharp pain in the middle of his chest and tingling in his jaw. Luckily, Mr. Pancella went to St. Joseph Hospital where a new state-of-the-art Cardiac CT scanner, the most advanced non-invasive imaging tool in cardiology, revealed three life-threatening calcifications. The following morning at St. Francis, stents were inserted. He was discharged shortly after and was cleared to fly to Florida in time for the wedding.

Clean Pass: Save Time And Go Green BY LEIGH ANDERSON specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

With Clean Pass, her daily rides from Melville to East Williston and back have been reduced by about 25 minutes each way, which has not only decreased her stress, but has also saved her money on gas and allowed her to sleep later. Of the approximately 80,000 vehicles that qualify for the program, about 30,000 have Clean Pass stickers, and that number is continuing to increase, said NYSDOT Spokesperson Carol Breen. For this reason, concerns have risen about whether or not it will cause traffic in the HOV lane, but Breen assures that the program is undergoing further study in order to “ensure that the HOV lane is operating as intended, while still promoting the use of fuel-efficient vehicles.” Thus far, she added, the program has been successful, and will continue to be modified and improved according

to New York State’s and its drivers’ circumstances. Bear in mind that commercial vehicles are still not permitted in HOV lanes, no matter their fuel-efficiency, and that eligible cars must have the stickers to participate, as stated by NYSDOT. But since obtaining the stickers is so easy, both Beberman

and Breen share the view that there aren’t any disadvantages to using the program. Visit www.dot.ny.gov/programs/ clean-pass to see if your car qualifies for a Clean Pass. To apply, visit www. nysdmv.custhelp.com and search “Request Clean Pass Stickers” or call 518-486-9786.

Long Island Expressway commuters with energy-efficient vehicles are receiving several perks for helping the earth, as they save time, money and gas, and no longer have to experience the hassle of being stuck in traffic. New York’s Clean Pass Program, which was initiated in 2006, is a plan of action intended to foster the usage of more eco-friendly vehicles in order to reduce negative impacts on the environment. The program allows drivers with eligible vehicles to drive in the Long Island Expressway’s HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes without any passengers; the lanes previously permitted buses, motorcycles, and vehicles with two or more occupants only during rush hours—6 to 10 a.m. and 3 to 8 p.m. on weekdays. Though the lanes are open to other vehicles outside of peak times, being able to use it during these heavy-traffic hours gives hybrid car drivers the advantage of a faster, less-stressful commute. To use the Clean Pass Program, vehicle owners—whose cars must receive an average of 45 miles per gallon or better and meet certain emissions standards—can apply through the State Department of Motor Vehicles and will receive four stickers upon approval, according to the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). The stickers are free of charge; applicants simply must call or apply online. Audra Beberman, a Prius-lessee and Clean Pass user from Suffolk County, said the program significantly decreased the time of her commute to and from work. “I kind of expected it to be quicker, but I didn’t realize how much time I would save. [Prior to using Clean Pass] I would sit in traffic for almost an hour, for what should have been a 20-minute commute,” she said.

Five Tips For First Time

RV-ers Make A List

BY JENN AND BRENT NIMS specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

It was a beautiful day as we drove north on the 101 freeway towards Santa Barbara. The rugged sandy bluffs rose high along the California coast while the sunshine sparkled across the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Thing 1 and Thing 2, then 8 and 5, were trying to sit patiently in the back seat as we drove towards our campground. This was our first outing in our new-to-us, folding camping trailer. To say my heart was happy would be an understatement. I was giddy with excitement. I couldn’t wait to start making fun, family camping memories. Brent and I already had so many from when we were kids, and we wanted to give the same thing to our boys. Not only that, we were ready to relax for the weekend after a long week of work. We were ready to kick up our heels, sit by the fire, and maybe go on a few hikes in the Los Padres National Forest. An hour later we arrived at our campsite, and the boys jumped out of the van. They were busy checking out the campsite when I noticed Thing 2 wasn’t wearing shoes. “Put on your shoes, honey. There might be something sharp.” “I don’t have them,” he replied, playing in the dirt. What? No shoes? Of course, he has shoes. What sort of parent forgets shoes when they go camping? I started searching the van but no luck. In our excitement to hit the road for our first camping experience, we had let him run out the door happy but barefoot. Ooops. Determined not to let this ruin our weekend, we headed up to the camp store. There we bought a pair of flip-flops that he could wear to protect his feet. We may not be going on any long hikes over the weekend, but they would be perfect to wear to the swimming hole on the Santa Ynez River. Wondering if there are things to do (besides remember your child’s shoes.) to make your first time out in your new RV go more smoothly? Read on.

Making a list is probably your most important step. Make copies and give them to all your readers in the family so they can help pack up. Divide your lists into categories: kitchen, meals, bathroom, outdoor activities (bikes, balls, firewood, etc.), indoor activites (games, movies, etc.), pets, family member A, B, C, etc., and don’t forget to include yourself. Start packing a few days ahead of time to avoid the last minute rush. Cross things off as you pack them and just before you pull out of your driveway, take a quick glance at your list to make sure you have everything.

Practice Parking or Driving If you are worried about backing up or driving the RV around, take it out for some practice without the family. It’s a lot easier to practice without kids playing (or arguing) in the back seat. Choose a Saturday or Sunday morning when the roads are less crowded, and drive around a bit. Find a large parking lot with plenty of empty space and back it up a few times. You’ll be surprised at how much easier it gets with a little practice. It won’t be long until you feel like a pro.

Research Test Run Most RVs are so easy to set up you could do it in your sleep, but it doesn’t hurt to do a little test run. Set up your RV in your driveway before you head out. In fact, you may want to do this a few times if you are feeling nervous. Better to figure out how to work the jacks before getting to a campsite after a long drive when you (and everyone else) may be tired. If your RV has slides, always do a slide check when setting or packing up to make sure nothing gets smashed in the slide. Trust us on this one.

see RV TIPS on page 6B

A little research ahead of time goes a long way. We are all for spontaneity, but for your first trip in your RV I suggest you have reservations. Double-check that the campground has the amenities you want. If you want electricity, water and sewer, be sure to ask for a full hookup site. You can even ask for a pullthrough site if you are not quite ready for a back-in site. While you are on the Internet, do a quick search for things to do in the area and take a few notes (I take screenshots on my phone and save them to my camera roll). This way if you get to your destination and suddenly realize you don’t have cell phone reception, you’ll still have an idea of what’s in the area. Also don’t forget to double-check your route on the GPS before pulling out of the driveway.

Cool Breeze: Keep Your Air Conditioning Serviced

RV TIPS from page 4B

Don’t Forget to Pack Your “Chill Pill”

There is a lot to be said for “Stay Calm and Carry On.” Even with all the preparation, it’s likely that something won’t go as planned on your first RV trip. (Remember we forgot our son’s shoes.) It’s okay. Little mishaps are all a part of the adventure. So here’s a little secret: I’m not the most laid-back person in the world. It’s true. But over the years, with a little practice, I’ve gotten better at handling mishaps and disagreements. There was a time when Brent BY JODI DEVERE and I would have driven around the campground disspecialsections@antonmediagroup.com cussing (read arguing) about what site to pick. What we’ve learned is that it doesn’t really matter. Neither Most motorists know that their do most of those little mishaps like forgetting the vehicles need regular preventive toothpaste or setting up the RV a little uneven. maintenance like changing the oil Every time I’ve gotten upset about something and filters, rotating the tires and not going the way I planned, I learned that it refilling the washer fluid.

This circulates the refrigerant, which lubricates the seals. That way, they won’t dry out during cold weather. Your air conditioning system doesn’t just cool the air in your car; it dries ANTON’S NEW it out as well. So if you have trouble with a foggy windshield, flip on your air MONTHLY AUTO GUIDE conditioning on the defrost setting. You may be surprised at how quickly it All 18 Anton Newspapers! takes care of the problem. only Of course, some vehicles can’t run the air conditioner and defroster at the same time; you should check your owner’s manual or with the automobile manufacturer if you are uncertain whether this feature works in your car or not. So, after learning about preventive maintenance for your A/C, you might now be wondering if your air conditioner is in trouble. Two early warning signs of a failing air conditioner are: • The air just isn’t getting as cold as it used to. • There’s a strange noise when the air conditioner turns on. If you notice either of these symptoms in your car, you should bring it to your service provider as soon as possible. Just some good auto advice to keep you cool and keep you on the road.

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll feel the frustrations of others. As much as you would like to make the situation better, you don’t want to interfere with a learning process. If you can prevent the suffering of another, step in. But if this is about shielding another from mere discomfort, think twice: A little discomfort can bring out the best in a person.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND All Around the Garden State Solution: 13 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This week you’ll get a rather mysterious nudge in a direction you hadn’t considered. As unexpected as this is, it will feel so right. Your ultimate success will be a function of your desire coinciding perfectly with the thing that others need. You’ll give a lift to those around you, mentally, physically and spiritually. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re a social creature and purposeful, too, and yet your involvement in the big causes can be tricky this week. You’ll resist the group mind and be afraid to blend in too far; you don’t want to become a statistic or serve without any personal benefit. Flex that independent spirit and see where it leads you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will answer all requests in due order. The timing is truly in your hands, and you should go at the pace that makes you feel the most comfortable and free. Do not spoil your people by being too accommodating or they will grow to take you for granted, not even realizing the efforts they regularly require of you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). More often than not, ruin isn’t caused by destructive intent. The more usual occurrence is that ruin is a function of neglect -- an indifference to the natural, slow decay of time. Combat the apathy. Maturity, vigilance and a proactive stance will assist you in creating a future that is the envy of all around you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Tastes can be erratic. Judgement can be flawed. People misunderstand each other’s efforts constantly. These matters should be tucked away with a shrug and a categorization: “That’s life”; “That’s work”; “That’s love”; or “That’s art.” An easygoing way with rejection will, by week’s end, attract crazy success! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Relaxed confidence coupled with a deep sense of purpose is the winning combination this week. You may not realize this, but you’re carrying someone else’s dream. Your achievements will go a long way toward inspiring another and propelling a legacy into the future. What you do matters ... a lot! SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Contrary to a certain self-help book title, it turns out that the “small stuff” maybe does warrant a bit of sweat after all. Maybe it’s the only sized stuff that does this week! The attention to details that would usually go unacknowledged will make a profound improvement in several of your life’s outcomes. Focus. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Oh, to have limitless options! Such a condition is dreamy when you’re assembling sundaes or trying to find the perfect shoes to complete an outfit. But when it comes to important life choices, having less than three options will keep you strong and decisive instead of diffused and overwhelmed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Go on and update your calendar, your rituals and your wardrobe, if you feel so moved. There’s a lot you should leave alone, though! For instance, the “dated” version of your values is working out just fine for now. Stick with it. Keep believing the others can and should live up to your expectations and they will. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t expect to be constantly moved, motivated or entertained by life. You know that most of the time it’s up to you to name your purpose and find reasons to keep the fascination alive. What a delightful surprise it is this week when the forces of life single you out and fully absorb you with a new calling. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your unique and uncommon perspective will help you contribute something important. Mostly, your view will be broad. Your interest in the color, shape, meaning and thrust of the situation may have you overlooking details, filling in the blanks, writing your own rules. Hopefully, the group will go along. They’d be wise to!

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

This year brings wondrous luck that holds and holds. The next eight weeks bring brilliant, innovative solutions to the problems that have made your personal life less than optimum.

Later, Kathy checks the data and emails me that the wren eggs came first. Mystery solved. Looking at three of my images from one tree swallow nest box on the computer makes me sit in intense silence. They are images of five tree swallow eggs and feathers. The placement of the feathers around the eggs is exquisite while an almost sepia tone-like color illuminates everything.

ON CLASSIC MOVIES THE GREAT LAWN

BY STEPHEN T. GREENBERG, MD, FACS

C helsea Mansion

“The eyelids are often the telling sign of a person’s age”

For patients who want to smooth wrinkles, tighten sagging muscles, and achieve a more youthful appearance, but are not ready for a more invasive surgery, a mini facelift might be the right choice. Undergoing a mini facelift involves many of the same steps as traditional facelift, but uses smaller incisions and often, endoscopic technology, which consists of small, camera-controlled surgical tools. First, the patient will meet with Dr. Greenberg and explain their concerns and aesthetic goals. Then the patient and Dr. Greenberg will decide together the proper course of treatment, and the anticipated results. Mini facelifts create more subtle changes than full facelift, which can be a good option for patients who want to reverse the first signs of aging or make a very particular, small improvement to their faces. Mini facelifts often have a shortened recovery time, and some people even refer to them as “weekend facelifts.” Patients with mild to moderate sagging or wrinkles in the face are usually ideal candidates for a mini facelift. Compared to a traditional facelift, the mini facelift procedure is less invasive and complex. A mini facelift enhances facial contours, though not as dramatically as a traditional facelift. This effective procedure can make patients look younger and feel more confident in their appearance. Dr. Greenberg’s attention to detail and commitment to safety consistently results in optimal patient outcomes. He is a respected authority on plastic surgery who is often sought after by the media to provide expert commentary. When patients schedule any procedure at Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery, they can be certain that they are making a worthwhile investment in their quality of life.

... Dr. Greenberg claims during a recent seminar on the South Shore. “With some very tailored and advanced procedures, we can create a more youthful look for our patients, and offer treatments with reduced downtime.” One of the most successful ways to create that youthful appearance is through “eyelid surgery,’ or blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure done to remove the fat and extra skin from your upper and lower eyelids. Dr. Greenberg uses state-of-the-art technology and lasers to correct droopy upper lids and puffy bags below the eyes. A part of aging is beginning to develop drooping or “puffy” eyelids. These changes usually occur because over the years, the eyelid skin thins, loses tone, and becomes more susceptible to gravity. The fat pockets gradually herniate forward which can cause bags in both the upper and lower eyelid. Dr. Greenberg customizes each surgery to meet the patient’s goals, and can include treatment of the lower eyelids, the upper eyelids, or both. This procedure involves only small incisions that result in easily concealed scarring, giving patients a natural-looking rejuvenated appearance. Some patients look to refresh more than just the area around their eyes. Face lift surgery helps patients look rested and rejuvenated, and can correct and tighten both the skin and deeper muscular layers of the face. This procedure can improve the visible signs of aging by removing the excess fat, tightening the muscles, and removing the extra sagging skin from your face and neck. Dr. Stephen Greenberg performs face lifts alone or in conjunction with eyelid surgery, laser surgery or other cosmetic procedures. Dr. Greenberg strives for a natural look with all face lift surgeries performed at his Long Island practice.

Maggie Messina

Messina and the Taecole black belt teen group. Most of these teens have been with Taecole since they were three years old.

The Fighter BY BETSY ABRAHAM

babraham@antonmediagroup.com

Maggie Messina is a woman on a mission. As the owner of Taecole Tae Kwon Do and Fitness in Albertson, she’s passionate about creating a safe haven where people can learn martial arts and instilling in children the values of self-confidence and hard work. “My mission is the betterment of children,” Messina said. “Our youth are our future. If we don’t make them feel good about themselves and that they can achieve anything and that they’re smart and bright, what kind of future are we going to have?” And for Messina, being an inspiration to youngsters has a special significance—in fact, if it wasn’t for the people who pushed her to succeed as a child she wouldn’t have ended up where she is today, she says. “I had people in my life who believed in me, who gave me an ounce of hope. That’s why I held on and pushed forward,” Messina said. “It saved my life.” Messina had far from an idyllic childhood. The sixth of 11 kids, her mom was a drug addict and Messina ended up in the foster system of a poor upstate neighborhood. Though a few people inspired her to keep pressing on, most told her she would never succeed or overcome her circumstances. Upon graduating from boarding school in 1985, she had aged out of the foster care system so she ended up homeless for close to a year. She bounced around on friend’s couches, trying to get by, and soon

found tae kwon do as a relief from her situation. “I was so depressed. I started practicing tae kwon do and the rest of my worries and the world wasn’t with me,” Messina said. “It was like a sanctuary time. That was the place I could go to no matter what was going on. I fell in love with it.” She soon fell in love with the martial art and when she wasn’t working at Sloan Kettering, she was practicing and working at Kang System (now T. Kang Taekwondo Martial Arts Center) in Brooklyn. She dreamed of opening a martial arts school and in 2001, that dream came to fruition when she opened Taecole Tae Kwon Do and Fitness in Albertson. Messina hopes to create a safe space for children to learn martial arts, the same way that she found a refuge at the Brooklyn martial arts studio. “I use myself as an example,” Messina said. “We teach kids discipline and the importance of not bullying and self confidence, and letting them know they can become anything they want, as long as they’re willing to work.” Messina has created a “no judgment” zone at Taecole, where everyone is welcome. She strives to reinforce to students that they can do anything they

set their minds to. “I tell the kids and teens, especially, to stay focused and not fall into peer pressure,” Messina said, adding that most Taecole athletes go on to college. Messina said she hopes to motivate students who were like her—in rough situations but willing to work hard. Her studio works with kids who have money and behavior issues and her compassion for them knows no bounds. Messina and her husband legally adopted Brandon, a 16-year-old student who had been at Taecole since he was 3, because his parents were addicted to drugs. Brandon, who was from New York City and living in the projects, was continually told he would never go to college. Because of the investment of the Messina family, as well as several others, the Mineola High School alum is now set to graduate from Marist College in May 2017, with a bachelor of arts degree in psychology and international business. The Albertson resident is also passionate about teaching youngsters about stranger danger. She volunteers her time to do presentations at schools, including at Denton and Meadow Drive in Mineola, as well as for Scout troops both on Long Island and upstate. During the interactive presentations, students not only learn what to do if approached by a stranger, but how to not put themselves in risky environments. “We teach them to be proactive about putting themselves in a dangerous situation,” Messina said. “We try to prepare them and teach them the importance of pro-activeness.” For Messina, Taecole and her lectures aren’t just about giving kids the skills to protect themselves. It’s about providing them a nurturing environment where they can grow as people. “When I realized how many children suffer as I did, I took it very personally,” Messina said. “Children need confidence and hope. It’s the seeds we plant in their little hearts and minds that can help dictate the people they become tomorrow. For me, it’s all about the follow through and seeing the kids through to the end. Not every child needs it, but if there’s a kid who needs more support, we’re there for them.”

Maggie Messina overcame the odds. Now she’s helping others do the same.

Messina (with student Chris Trietsch) helped collect toys at Taecole for the less fortunate. Every Christmas, Messina spends the day distributing the toys to children.

Be On Alert For Asian Beetle Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Michele M. Johnson is asking residents to keep an eye out for the presence of destructive Asian long-horned beetles. Parts of the town—including significant portions of Massapequa, North Massapequa and Massapequa Park—are all under quarantine ever since these wood-boring pests were discovered in the area in 1996. “Residents have been vigilant in alerting the town when Asian long-horned beetles are sighted,” said Johnson. “Their cooperation, combined with the Town’s efforts, has prevented beetles from infesting other areas. I am asking our residents to remain alert so we can cease the spread of these damaging bugs and continue to preserve the remaining trees in quarantined areas.” Asian long-horned beetle have a very distinctive look.

three-quarters to one and one-quarter inch long, and has a glossy black body with irregular white spots. Adult Asian long-horned beetles typically emerge from late spring until early October and threaten hardwood trees during the warm weather seasons. A tree infested by Asian longhorned beetles can be identified by the damage done by the pests. The beetle’s preferred hosts are hardwood trees, including several maple species. When adult beetles have chewed their way out of the tree they create small holes usually accompanied by large piles of sawdust and oozing sap. If the infestation is severe enough, the damage caused by Asian long-horned beetles can weaken an infected tree’s integrity and eventually kill it. Johnson said, “The town takes great pride in its tree resources, so much so, that we have been a ‘Tree City USA’ for the past 28 years.” To report a sighting of an Asian longhorned beetle, residents should call the Asian Long-Horned Beetle Eradication Program at 1-866-265-0301. —Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay

The Full Spectrum P.S. 104 sat nestled neatly inside the Bayswater community where I grew up. The eastern most corner of the Rockaway Peninsula, Bayswater very much mirrored our own Plainview-Old Bethpage community demographically. Margret was in my class in P.S. 104 from third-grade through sixth. Six- to nine-inches taller and 20 to 30 pounds heavier than all her other classmates, Margret stood out physically. If that struggle didn’t prove difficult enough for Margret, she barely ever spoke and when she did, it wasn’t above a whisper. Margret was teased daily. Made fun of relentlessly and, in the most derisive way possible for pre-adolescent children, Margret was labeled with the indelible stigma of having cooties. By sixth-grade Margret seemed to become resigned to her fate as a social outcast, while we, (her fellow classmates) came to know that Margret always graded out near the top of the class on all exams. “Crazy Eddie” was a frightfully familiar image walking along Far Rockaway’s Central Avenue commercial main street. At 12-years-old it was hard to know exactly how old “Crazy Eddie” was, but suffice it to say he was younger than 30. Eddie was approximately 5’10” tall and rail thin. Eddie walked endlessly along the Central Avenue thoroughfare holding a dogeared loose-leaf binder stuffed with lyrics to hundreds of songs. Eddie would walk through groups of people, seemingly ignoring their presence on the street, singing over and over the lyrics to songs like Barbara Ann. The Beach Boys version repeating chorus of “Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann...” shouted incessantly by Eddie stride after stride, unemotionally and eerily stoic. Eddie was mocked, avoided by younger kids like me. Moms would pull their young children’s wrists, tugging them across the street to avoid having to deal with passing

JACK’S PLAINVIEW Jack Young

Eddie coming towards them. My friends and I played PAL baseball and JCC basketball all through our teens. While some teams had a dad coaching in a titular manner, we always allowed Jake to be our coach. Four or five years our senior, Jake was an awkwardly angular guy with a constant goofy smile. Not unlike “Crazy Eddie,” Jake carried an old loose-leaf with him where he stored the statistics from all of our baseball and basketball games. In addition to our statistics, Jake filed the stats for the opposing teams. We shook our heads and made fun of Jake for his over the top involvement in our frivolous contests, but win or lose Jake would treat us to sodas and French fries at our favorite luncheonette (Ellie’s) after every game. We knew Jake traveled into Manhattan to work, but not a game or Ellie’s postgame celebration went by without us ribbing Jake about what we assumed to be the menial nature of his job. Audrey and I have taken full advantage of the beautiful early summer weeks of TOBAY Beach. Parked traditionally to the right of the eastern most concession stand (we were told 20 years ago that to the right was the Plainview side), we generally arrive around 11 a.m. and try desperately to obtain a patch of sand as close to the ocean as the tide’s schedule will allow. It is because Audrey’s early employment with the Plainview-Old Bethpage school district related to working with children with autism, that she is keenly aware of a parent

Our first cousin’s son who is in his mid-20s is a college graduate, possessing several areas of exceptional skill, most notably culinary arts and computer science. “Paul” has been guided to independence by the most supportive of parents and has recently been hired by Google. Diagnosed early in his life as having Asperger’s syndrome, Paul has always struggled in social settings. Paul’s success, and the success of some of the world’s most famous entrepreneurs who are on the Autism spectrum, has brought a much needed awareness to the challenges of individuals and families affected by autism. Hopefully, our long ago ignorance will no longer add to the struggles placed daily at the feet of the individuals and families coping with autism’s affects.

trying to manage a child on the autism spectrum. Over the past several weeks at TOBAY we have marveled at parents, related adults and older siblings, lovingly being the guardian, coach, encourager for the children trying to enjoy TOBAY on their unique, individual terms. As I check out from the register at ShopRite after my weekly food shop, I can’t help but note what is usually a young man ready to assist me in packing my groceries into my non-eco friendly yellow shopping bags. With focused precision and unmistakable pride in having completed a useful task, these men have thankfully been professional prepared and embraced by Mr. Greenfield’s organization to become a valued component of our daily business setting.

total raised for the first two years of the event to about $200,000. The event is broken down into 24 continuous one-hour sessions. Registered players and teams will be given jerseys and placed on either the Stars team or the Stripes team and matched against a team of similar ability. The score is cumulative resulting in unique scores for a lacrosse game with totals reaching into the hundreds. Last year, the Stars defended their title with a victory of 282274. In the first event, the Stars defeated the Stripes 214-210. Participants will include boys and girls, men and women, seniors, youth, high school and college players with each group taking the field for one hour. Teams that accommodate players with special needs are also scheduled to play. Among the highlighted matchups is a contest of teams of U.S. veterans beginning at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m., players from the Plainedge community will take the field in a session that honors fallen NYPD Detective Brian Moore. A matchup between the NYPD and the FDNY is scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. In total, 96 teams will take the field during the lacrosse marathon.

Coschignano said he is already looking forward to the game and is inviting all to come and be a part of the festivities. “This is a great event. It is fun for the players, fun for the fans and it benefits several important causes,” he said. “Lacrosse has become quite popular on Long Island. It’s terrific that lacrosse players and fans can be a part of this very unique event.” Harry Jacobs, Chairman of the Shootout for Soldiers Committee, said this event has been a big success since it came to Long Island two years ago. He expressed his appreciation to all those who helped make it possible. “I would like to give special thanks to all those involved in the planning of this event, especially the Town of Oyster Bay,” said Jacobs. “This event is a great way to bring awareness that our veterans need help. They were selfless in servicing our Nation and protecting all of us, and this is a small way of thanking them for all hey have done.” For more information, visit www. shootoutforsoldiers.com. —Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay

For the third consecutive year, the Town of Oyster Bay will host the “Shootout for Soldiers” 24-Hour Lacrosse Game Benefit at the Town of Oyster Bay’s Field of Dreams, located on Old Sunrise Highway in Massapequa. This year’s round-theclock event will begin on the morning of July 21, at 9 a.m. and continue non-stop for 24 hours until July 22, at 9 a.m. The event is held annually for the benefit of American Military personnel, according to Oyster Bay Town Councilman Chris J. Coschignano. In addition, the Long Island Air Force Association will conduct a special ceremony at 5 p.m. to honor Vietnam veterans and present them with medals that commemorate the 50th anniversary of the conflict. “I’m proud that the Field of

Dreams, one of our outstanding town fields, has again been selected as the venue for this highly regarded event,” said Coschignano. “This is a terrific game that gives lacrosse players a chance to enjoy a sport they love in a unique way while also helping to support those who have served our nation.” The event raises money for organizations that support United States Veterans as well as those currently in the U.S. Armed Forces. The beneficiaries of this year’s event include the Semper Fi Fund, the Ranger Lead the Way Fund, the Gary Sinise Foundation and the Joseph J. Theinert Memorial Fund. Last year, about $115,000 was raised in support of organizations that benefit veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces, bringing the
