He also thanked his family, campaign staff, the men and women of labor, grassroots organizations, all his supporters, among others. “I’ve got to thank Glen Cove,” Suozzi said of his hometown. “I am so thankful for Glen Cove.” Reactions To Suozzi’s Win DCCC (The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) Chair Suzan DelBene released the following statement after Tom Suozzi won the special election in NY-03 to replace George Santos: “Today the voters of New York’s Third Congressional District chose experienced leadership over extremism. Tom Suozzi ran a formidable campaign that prioritized the issues that matter most to families across Queens and Nassau County: protecting reproductive freedom, bipartisan solutions to address border security, and lowering costs. In Tom, voters will once again have a representative they can trust. I am thrilled to be able to call Tom a colleague once again and am excited for him to bring back his results-oriented, commonsense approach to governing to the People’s House.” Statement from New York State Senator Jack Martins (District 7): “I’m naturally disappointed because I know Mazi Pilip would have certainly made a great Congresswoman. But Mr. Suozzi was the people’s choice, so I congratulate him on his victory and stand ready to work with him. My hope is that when the dust settles, he’s true to his campaign promises: that he rejects Washington’s self-made border crisis; that he supports law enforcement including ICE, that he repeals the SALT tax cap, and most importantly, that he publicly speak out against the extremism of ‘the squad.’ The next 10 months are really a litmus test on his ability to stand up to his party on the issues and work across the aisle for all Long Islanders.” Statement from New York State Assemblymember Charles Lavine (District 13): “Especially on Long Island and in the metropolitan area and in New York State, we need some champions of reason in the House of Representatives. With his more centrist views and his strong ability and capacity to communicate, Tom is going to be in a great position to advocate for our suburban values and our New York values, and his will be an important voice. I think that people also realize if they would have elected Mazi, she would never have an independent voice and she would do exactly as she was told to do by the Republican hierarchy.”

Sixty Years Since The Beatles’ Famous Pan Am Flight

an Am was first in many aspects of the fledgling aviation business of the day. “The World’s Most Experienced Airline knew how to promote itself throughout its history,” said Mr. John Luetich, curator and historian for the Pan Am Museum Foundation. “With Pan Am’s Flight 101,” he said, on February 7, 1964, “a B707 Clipper Defiance took off from London Airport and arrived at New York’s JFK International Airport with four moptops (yet-to-be famous) aboard.” More than 3,000 screaming fans met them at the airport. Mr. Luetich continued, “John, Paul, George and Ringo then conducted a press conference at the Pan Am Terminal and thus, ushered in Beatlemania in America.” The Lads from Liverpool would make appearances on the renowned Sunday night Ed Sullivan Show on February 9th, 16th and 23rd. And, as they say, the rest was history. The Pan Am Museum Foundation, located within the Cradle of Aviation Museum on Museum Row in Garden City, will recognize the event at their Beatlemania Gala to be held Saturday October 5. As the launch customer for the Boeing 707 in 1955, Pan Am catapulted to world-wide dominance of the international travel market. The aircraft went on to become the first successful commercial jetliner. Boeing developed and manufactured the plane starting in the

1950s throughout the 1960s. The sweptwing design along with power from four Pratt & Whitney JT3D engines provided for a faster, larger and more comfortable experience for the traveling public. The B707 entered service in 1958 with Pan Am operating flights from New York to Paris. Boeing was able to adapt the aircraft for various customer needs with custom versions for the likes of Qantas and Braniff among others. The 707 pioneered the arrival of the “jet age” allowing airlines to offer faster and further travel and trade. For Boeing, it put them on the map with the first of many successful aircraft it would produce that changed the world of air travel forever. Additional details can be found at PanAmMuseum.org as well as Pan Am Museum Foundation on Facebook and Instagram. Boarding now at The Cradle of Aviation Museum - Garden City, New York.

GARDEN CITY MUSIC DEPARTMENT RETURNS TO DISNEY WORLD The Garden City High School’s choruses recently visited Walt Disney World for the first time in 12 years. During the trip, from Jan. 31 to Feb. 4, students performed at Disney Springs and participated in a workshop conducted by a seasoned Disney vocal artist. The weekend left a lasting impact on the students as they engaged in performances, educational activities and had a unique bonding experience. This trip not only marked a return but also a momentous opportunity for both the students and the school community to engage with music in a dynamic environment. The students performed for the busy lunchtime crowds at the Advent Health Waterside Stage in Disney Springs. The repertoire showcased a variety of genres that resonated well with the audience. One of the standout moments was their heartwarming rendition of “Bridge over Troubled Waters.” A clip from the performance is on Instagram @gcmusic_arts. Senior Anna Cook said, “The opportunity to perform with my classmates at Disney Springs was a once in a lifetime opportunity and

is something I will never forget!” The following day, students experienced an immersive workshop with a Disney vocal artist which provided a glimpse into professional music production. The session ended with a Q&A about what life as a Disney vocal artist is like from auditions to voice over work for all Disney properties and live performances. The trip encompassed much more than musical performances; it was also a whirlwind tour through all four of Disney World’s theme parks. Ali Cooper, senior, said, “My favorite part was when the whole chorus gathered to watch the fireworks together at the end of each day. It was a wonderful experience that I am able to share with my classmates.” Such trips go beyond mere enjoyment; they serve as a catalyst for educational growth as well as class bonding. Participating in the workshop and performing on a professional stage allowed students to understand the realities of a music career. Feedback from the students highlighted an enhanced appreciation for collaborative

Faculty members echoed the sentiment, noting the unwavering enthusiasm and increased confidence displayed by the students throughout the trip. “One of the things I love about what I teach is that there are students from all areas of the school. Watching them come together to both perform as well as enjoy this experience as a class is remarkable,” said chorus teacher Stephen Mayo. — Submitted by Garden City Public Schools

Meet Christopher Probst, Nassau County Holocaust Museum’s Education Director Addressing rise of antisemitic, racist incidents through education

BY JENNIFER CORR

he Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County dedicates itself to educating students and the community about the Holocaust, as well as the importance of tolerance and respect for all people. “We are here to serve the community, and we have a broad range of programs,” said HMTC Director of Education Christopher Probst, Ph.D., who began his tenure in September 2023. “We are concerned about the Holocaust, other genocides, and issues to do with race. We see it as interconnected.” HMTC is located at Welwyn Preserve in Glen Cove, which was the estate of Harold I. and Harriet B. Pratt. Surrounded by nature, school groups and community members who come from around Long Island go to HMTC to take tours of the exhibits and learn from museum docents and survivors. They can also tour the Children’s Memorial Garden, which honors the 1.5 million Jewish children who died in the Holocaust. Beyond Welwyn, HMTC devotes itself to educating the community about the

and genocide, for me, is not solely an academic pursuit. I think it’s necessary to combat antisemitism, xenophobia and all forms of racism in present-day society.” Probst gained his Ph.D. in history, particularly the history of the Holocaust, from Royal Holloway, the University of London. Since then, Probst has served as an educator. He taught history at Howard Community College in Maryland and Saint Louis University, Maryville University, and Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. He’s also written articles and books about the relationship between Protestant and Jewish people in Nazi Germany. And he’s served as a volunteer at the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum. “I felt a pull, a tug towards doing work with the public, in other words, taking that academic knowledge I had about the Holocaust and genocide and doing something about it that would be helpful in the community that I live in,” Probst said when asked what brought him to HMTC. The job Probst interviewed for, and the job he has today are much different. About a month after settling into HMTC, news broke of an attack on Israeli civilians by Hamas militants, starting a deadly conflict and rising antisemitic and Islamaphobic tensions including here in the United States. “That has made adjusting to this role something that’s been much more hectic than I have anticipated, to say the least,” Probst said. “We have seen antisemitic, racist or bullying incidents involving students from Long Island schools in at least eight different districts across Long Island. And many of

HMTC Director of Education Christopher Probst. them come to us for help. So within weeks of taking the job, my phone has been ringing off the hook, my colleagues as well. My inbox is filling up very quickly.” Before Probst moved to Long Island, he studied news reports and spoke with former

directors of education to get a sense of what he was walking into. “I’ve seen that since 2015, at least, there has been a rather significant increase long-term, over those seven or eight years, whether it’s racist incidents, whether it’s

anti-Black incidents, whether it’s swastikas etched on bathroom stalls or in classrooms,” Probst explained. “On the other hand, you have this really intense focus on IsraelPalestine since October. So that has led to a significant spike.” After the attack, HMTC’s education team met together to create a plan of action, which included a rapid response to incidents. “When schools call us, of course, they’re horrified at what’s happened,” Probst said. “They want to address it in some way. Our aim with this rapid response is to empower educators and parents to tackle antisemitism and other forms of hate in the community.” One of HMTC’s signature programs called “Deconstructing Symbols of Hate,” a one-hour workshop designed for students in grades eight through 12, analyzes the history behind symbols such as the swastika and teaches participants how to stand up to racism or antisemitism. “Students really reflect what these symbols mean,” Probst said. “Sometimes there’s a gasp or a sort of intake of air when they realize just how much a symbol is attached to the murder and ideology of the Nazis.” There have also been cases where students who mimicked Nazi salutes or drew swastikas, for example, went to HMTC on a private basis to meet with an educator and learn about the story of the Holocaust. “It’s a small sample size, but we’ve seen a very good conversion rate,” Probst said. “The light in their eyes tells us that they understand what they did was wrong and how it

HOLOCAUST from page 3A caused so much pain.” Probst said he believes there’s been an increase in hate incidents in the past seven or eight years because of access to hateful and harmful ideas on social media, as well as a cultural environment where antisemitic and racist symbols and actions have moved from the fringes of society closer to the center. “Students are going through school and are typically getting a good education on the Holocaust, about Civil Rights and the history of these things, but in the broader society, it’s become more accepted culturally, even politically, to say things that are at best racially insensitive,” Probst said. “Now, more than ever, I think it’s our responsibility as educators to teach about the oppression and violence that resulted, historically, in giving into this temptation to exclude rather than to understand.” In January 2024 HMTC had a near-record number of students and adult community members, 5,000 people, coming for tours and programs. While January is normally a busy month for HMTC, it hasn’t been this busy, Probst said. “It’s two sides of a coin; it can be very challenging, but at the same time, on a daily basis, [HMTC staff and] I have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives, especially of young people, but also adults,” Probst said. “Whether introducing and moderating a discussion in a school auditorium with a Holocaust survivor, leading a professional development workshop with teachers and administrators on how to educate about and combat hate incidents and speech in their schools, or teaching students about the horrors of the Holocaust and genocide, it’s a very rewarding job.” HMTC offers programs for students in grades five through 12. “At the grade five level, we emphasize stories of courage, those who survived the Holocaust and were able to exemplify their courage, and resisters who stood up to antisemitic hatred,” Probst explained. Middle and high school students are offered a tour of HMTC’s exhibit and the Children’s Memorial Garden by a welltrained docent, covering subjects such as life before the Holocaust, Nazi Germany before World War II, the Holocaust, life in a concentration camp, liberation and life after war and other genocides since 1945. The tour typically takes about an hour, and students will then take a short break for lunch. Afterward, students will hear a testimony from a Holocaust survivor or a descendant of a survivor. “In that way, they get both an academic approach in the exhibit with the tour and they get a real-life story, a testimony from somebody who survived the Holocaust or someone who is a descendant of someone who survived the Holocaust,” Probst explained. HMTC also offers adult education college campus groups. For example, Probst said, HMTC will host a group from Stony Brook University for a program called “Courageous Conversations,” addressing how to talk

HMTC visitors learn about life before the Holocaust, the rise of Nazi Germany, the events of the Holocaust, life in a concentration camp, liberation and life after war and other genocides since 1945. about race, systemic racism, biases and other topics. Nurses and Suffolk and Nassau County police cadets also come to HMTC for programs. Moji Pourmoradi, executive director of the HMTC, said they are thrilled to have Probst to lead the educational team. “His breadth of knowledge, combined with his gentle demeanor makes it very easy for our students to connect with him,” Pourmoradi said. “He is dealing with a very difficult subject but he has proven himself to be a formidable educator who cares deeply about the subject and the student, which is the perfect combination.” To learn more, visit www.hmtcli.org.

Finally, A Scratch Off Winner I finally won real cash on a scratch-off game. After reading about people winning millions on scratch-off games, I wrote a column about Juan Hernandez of Uniondale, who won $10 million on a scratchoff, not just once, but twice! I’ve cashed about as many oneand two-dollar winners as I have lost or misplaced. I once had a $25 winner, which I promptly blew on some cigars. Scratch-off tickets I’ve stuffed into cards for friends and families have turned into $50 winners occasionally, but never for me. My wife stuffs scratch-offs into all our stockings for Christmas. In addition to Cinnamon rolls, there is enough silver dust in my kitchen from scratching off lottery tickets to declare my house an environmental hazard. Everyone wins something except me. Well, my turn finally came. While out to lunch with my friends recently to celebrate my retirement, I received a beautiful card from my friend Matty and his wife, Sigrid. Later, when I opened it at home, I found a heartfelt message and three scratch-off lottery

tickets. The tickets followed the usual pattern of requiring a match with a few “winning” numbers. I reached into my handy change jar for a nickel and started scratching. The first one required me to reveal three of the same numbers to win the prize. As usual, there were a few doubles but no triples, so it was a loser. I believe they purposely give you two matching numbers that say “Jackpot!” to drive you insane. I quickly lost my enthusiasm on the second card, which required matching any “winning” numbers. As expected, I missed the “target”

numbers by one in either direction. If the target number was 15, I conveniently uncovered a 14 and a 16, but no 15. However, on the last reveal, I found a match for ten bucks! Now we’re talking! That’ll get me a bagel and a cup of coffee. The third card, “Find The 7s,” was not complicated as it contained no “winning” numbers to match. You just had to scratch off all spots and uncover the #7. There were three columns of five hidden numbers to scratch. The more sevens you uncovered, the more money you won, from two bucks to $25,000. The first three numbers I uncovered (going down the first column) were all 7s. I kept scratching, and the next two were also 7s, giving me an entire column of 7s and a prize of five bucks. I stopped to re-read the ticket instructions to make sure I hadn’t misread about the 7s. I expected to find out that you wanted to avoid 7s, not collect them. Sure enough, the prizes were based on collecting 7s, and I already had five of them. Knowing my previous luck in these scratch-off games, the next

row started just as I expected, with no 7s in the first two numbers scratched. But then I finished the column with three more 7s, and my prize money was up to $20 with five more numbers to reveal. When the first number in the last row revealed another 7, I had won $50. At that point, I stopped again to take a much closer look at the card to ensure it was real. I’ve seen plenty of those videos where kids give their unsuspecting parents (or friends) a fake scratchoff lottery ticket, winning millions of dollars. And considering how long I’ve known my friend, Matty, it was not out of the realm of possibility. But it looked legit to me, so I continued scratching. The next number was a 5 (rats), but lo and behold, it was followed by another 7! Ten 7s brought my winnings to $100, with two numbers left. One more 7, and the prize jumps to $500. Two more get me to $2,500. Alas, I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up. But then again, I can’t complain. I’ll take it! Unfortunately, at our next get-together, I have to buy all the drinks…

Political Donations Fill Up Trash Cans It is no secret that at election time, any politician that can raise a lot of money has a distinct advantage over his or her opponent. That especially applies to the contest in Long Island’s 3rd Congressional district. The race between former Congressman Tom Suozzi and County Legislator Mazi Pilip has broken all records. At last count the combined totals raised by both candidates is around $6 million. That particular contest is unique in that it has drawn national attention and will have an impact on the amount of House members that each party can count on. But aside from the Suozzi-Pilip race, political battles are attracting obscene amounts of money. Last year’s fight over the job of North Hempstead Supervisor cost at least $1.5 million and possibly more. If North Hempstead was as large as the Town of Hempstead one could understand why such enormous sums were spent, but in these days, the sky is the limit if your party has the ability to raise and spend big sums of money.

INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer

Having a lot of money is not always a guaranty that you will win. A few years ago, former Queens Congressman Joe Crowley was in a fight for his seat against Alexandra Ocasio Cortez. Crowley spent over $3 million and lost to an activist whose only job at the time was as a bartender. The difference in that skirmish was decided by plain old shoe leather. Cortez was able to get the support of hundreds of

volunteers who marched doorto-door in behalf of her challenge and in the end that made the difference. Crowley spent most of his time in Washington hoping to be his party’s next leader replacing Speaker Nancy Pelosi and that was fatal. This year there will be three hotly contested races for Congress on Long Island. Because the three fights could decide control of the House of Representatives, the two national parties will be pouring millions of dollars in each race. Having run for office successfully on 12 occasions, I frequently

wonder why the two parties don’t agree to cap the amount of moneys spent just because of the fact that election spending has reached obscene levels. Most of the mailers go right into the garbage can. Our landfills are currently bursting from excess garbage, so why make it worse? I know that my complaints will fall on deaf ears. This year, and forever after, elections will continue to cost tons of money, most of which should be spent on children who don’t get three solid meals a day or child care for working parents.

cost efficiency. While these were significant strides in preserving the framework of this essential youth initiative, the stagnation in Nassau’s rate of compensation has created major obstacles for families in need of services. With every year that passes, the imbalance grows wider between those who can afford to backfill the services that Nassau County is not providing and those who cannot. Advocates are seeking parity with neighboring municipalities, and because New York State reimburses Nassau County at a rate of

59.5 percent of our outlay for these services, it would have been prudent to increase what we pay by using a small portion of Nassau’s $299 million in remaining American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds as a bridge until higher reimbursements rates kicked in. I can think of no more appropriate use for these funds than the post-pandemic educational recovery of Nassau County’s young people. A similar disconnect exists in Nassau’s handling of its homelessness crisis. Upon my request in 2017, Nassau’s Office of Housing and Intergovernmental Affairs provided me with a budget report showing that $325,000 was earmarked for the Nassau County DSS HIT team, which was comprised of several Adult Protective Services (APS) employees and Housing and Homeless Prevention personnel and tasked with performing extensive street outreach services. However, after being disbanded, the HIT team was replaced by the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless, which has received less than half that sum from the County to provide these outreach services in subsequent years. The Coalition’s 2023 “point in time” count of the homeless on Long Island discovered the number had increased to 3,536 people - 1,463 of them under age 18. Based on these numbers, the need has increased – so should Nassau County’s funding. Rather than apply resources to areas that we know are underfunded, the County Executive and Legislative Majority on

Monday, Jan. 22 transferred over $222 million in ARPA funds into the operating budget and just $15 million into a fund for various notfor-profit organizations and special districts that deliver ARPA-approved services. The $15 million was transferred with no guarantee those resources would be disseminated equally across the Legislature’s 19 districts. It is notable how, a month prior to this vote, the administration carved out $10 million in federal pandemic money into the County’s 125th anniversary celebration. While they justified this by forecasting an economic boost through increased tourism, analysis published in a recent Econ Focus report shows that the administration’s projection of a $3 return per dollar spent relies on the existence of a near-zero interest rate. Econ Focus further demonstrated that, based on current economic conditions, the actual boost could be as little as 50 cents on the dollar. Faced with an opportunity to optimally resource programs that shelter the homeless and deliver crucial services to deserving, atrisk youngsters, Nassau County should have realigned its priorities. Spending so much to advertise and stage concerts and fund a series of anniversary celebrations appears downright frivolous in light of these unmet needs. Siela A. Bynoe, of Westbury, is the Alternate Deputy Minority Leader of the Nassau County Legislature. She has represented the Second Legislative District since 2014.

The practitioners who deliver physical, speech, and occupational therapy services to babies and toddlers under age 3 with disabilities and developmental delays have not gotten a raise from Nassau County in nearly three decades. As homelessness continues to grow, Nassau has slashed its funding to the Department of Social Services (DSS) and its Homeless Intervention Team (HIT) has been disbanded. Yet, before solving these issues, the County sunk $10 million in federal pandemic recovery aid into its 125th anniversary plans. Since the program’s inception in 1999, Nassau County has paid the same rate of $40 per hour to practitioners in its “PreSchool Related Services” program. Research confirms that, after 27 years without an increase, Nassau’s rate of compensation is now the lowest in the state. This has discouraged practitioners from working with Nassau County, and as a result, it has been reported that approximately 200 young people are on a waiting list for services. Shortly after concluding my service on the Westbury School Board and becoming a Legislator in 2014, I identified – and successfully reversed – plans by the Mangano administration to transfer $4.5 million from the Early Childhood Intervention budget. Additionally, I worked to end the County’s practice of benchmarking the performance of consultants tasked by the County with providing services to youth based upon their

afely shoveling snow is essential to prevent injuries and ensure a smooth winter season. Here are some tips to shovel snow safely and effectively: Warm-Up Before heading out to shovel, take a few minutes to warm up your muscles with light exercises. This helps prevent strains and injuries while shoveling. The Right Shovel Use a lightweight shovel with a curved handle to reduce strain on your back. A shovel with a smaller blade can also help you lift less snow with each scoop. Dress Appropriately Wear warm, layered clothing to protect yourself from the cold. Don’t forget gloves, a hat, and waterproof boots with good traction to prevent slips and falls. Pace Yourself Take frequent breaks while shoveling to rest and prevent overexertion. Listen to your body and stop if you feel dizzy, short of breath, or experience chest pain. Proper Lifting Bend your knees and lift with your legs, not your back, to avoid straining your spine. Keep your back straight and avoid twisting while lifting and throwing snow.

Push, Don’t Lift Whenever possible, push the snow rather than lifting it. Use your shovel as a plow to push snow to the side instead of lifting heavy loads. Clear Snow Promptly Shovel snow soon after it falls to prevent it from compacting and becoming heavier. This makes shoveling easier and reduces the risk of injury. Watch for Ice Be cautious of ice patches hidden beneath the snow, as they can cause slips and falls. Use salt or sand to melt ice and improve traction on walkways and driveways. Stay Hydrated Drink plenty of water before, during, and after shoveling to stay hydrated. Cold weather can mask the signs of dehydration, so be sure to drink fluids regularly. Ask for Help If you have health concerns or difficulty shoveling, ask for assistance from family, friends, or neighbors. Consider hiring a professional snow removal service for larger areas or during heavy snowfall. By following these tips and practicing safe shoveling techniques, you can enjoy a winter wonderland while minimizing the risk of injuries and accidents.

DEC Guidelines Support Planting 25 Million Trees Public comment open through March 8

he New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) released for public comment new proposed eligibility guidelines improve, expand, and assess the state’s forestry efforts on public and private lands under the historic $4.2 billion Clean Water, Clean Air and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022. The guidelines will help support implementation of Governor Kathy Hochul’s initiative to plant 25 million trees by 2033 by building capacity for production of plant materials and investing in a comprehensive data tracking and management system for forestry projects. To further achieve New York’s climate goals, Governor Hochul’s 2024 State of the State Address and Executive Budget included $47 million to support a new goal of planting 25 million trees statewide by 2033. This goal will invigorate our state’s tree planting efforts, send an unmistakable market signal to private nurseries, advance efforts to meet the Climate Act’s net-zero goal, and grow the state’s vital forest products industry. Capital investments through the Bond Act and other state sources, and multi-year annual grants to municipalities to plant trees in support of resilient reforestation and urban forests, are key components of this initiative. The draft eligibility guidelines available for comment enable the public to provide input on the implementation of Bond Act funding for forestry and community health benefits as part of the $400 million directed towards ‘Climate Change Mitigation.’ Once finalized, the criteria will guide funding allocations DEC will use to undertake Stateadministered forestry projects. Additional eligibility guidelines will be developed to include grant opportunities for locally administered initiatives. The guidelines support building capacity by repairing and/or updating capacity to

produce seedlings and bare-root trees through the upgrade and modernization of seed production facilities such as DEC’s Colonel William F. Fox Memorial Saratoga Tree Nursery. Investments would also support the development and modernization of greenhouses using renewable energy to provide expanded seed processing and storage capabilities, and create a Forest and Ecosystem Health Lab facility to promote ecosystem health, enhance carbon sequestration, and support scientific research. To assist with tracking the progress made with these upgrades and other ongoing forestry initiatives, the guidelines support investing Bond Act funding to create a database for tracking forest stand asset creation, tree planting, inventory, assessment, management and monitoring, and data dashboards reporting on acreage and type of land conserved. The database will help meet New York State’s 30 x 30 goal to conserve 30 percent of the state’s land and water by 2030 and mandates for modelling forest carbon sequestration and storage that contribute to achieving New York State’s climate goals. The database would also enhance collaboration among DEC programs, stakeholders, and other partners by providing a platform for sharing information and coordinating landscape-wide reforestation efforts, particularly in disadvantaged communities, on both private and public properties. The full eligibility guidelines are available in the February 7 Environmental Notice Bulletin. Public comments on the draft guidelines may be submitted in writing to: Division of Lands and Forests, NYS DEC, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12223, or by email to dec.sm.urbanforestry@dec.ny.gov. Public comments will be accepted through Friday, March 8, 2024. —Submitted by the New York State Department Of Conservation

NEW YORK AND FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES The current exemption from New York estate taxes is 6.94 million, indexed for inflation. For most clients this presents no issue – their estates will never approach the exemption. However, for the fortunate few who have assets, including life insurance, that may exceed roughly seven million dollars, there is a significant tax liability. Changes in New York estate tax law in the last few years introduced a “fiscal cliff”. Whereas formerly New York only taxed the amount over the exemption, if you exceed the limit today (by a mere 5%) they tax the whole estate. You’re over the cliff! The tax is surprisingly large. On a roughly seven million dollar estate, the taxes payable to New York exceed five hundred thousand dollars. An estate over ten million would owe over a million in estate tax. These New York estate taxes are avoidable if you have a spouse and you create an estate plan using two trusts, which doubles the exemption. Another way to avoid the fiscal cliff is to use the “Santa Clause” providing that you gift to charities of your choice all amounts over the exemption. Gifts to charities are deductible from estate taxes. While the Federal estate tax exemption of 13.61 million is “portable”, i.e. if the first spouse doesn’t use their exemption or any part of it, it passes to the surviving spouse, New York does not allow for portability. It’s use it or lose it. The Federal exemption is expected to be reduced from the 13.61 million exemption, passed by the Trump administration, to the 6.94 million, adjusted for inflation, that New York uses, at the end of 2025. For larger estates, there remains a planning opportunity by making gifts while the higher exemption is in place. You may use any of your Federal estate tax exemptions to make gifts while you are living. These gifts are reported to the IRS and get subtracted from what you may give at death. One added attraction to gifting is that New York does not tax gifts -- so that gifts may also be used to avoid onerous New York estate taxes at death. There is a minor exception that gifts made within three years of the death of the donor are brought back into the donor’s estate for New York estate tax purposes.

Dr. Keasha Guerrier Receives Community Champion Award Board of Directors for the 2023 term. “Someone made a very important connection,” said Dr. Guerrier about how she initially became involved with the LIHC’s Walk with a Doc program. “They say, ‘young people, you’re going to become a doctor but you’re going to lose all those ideals that you have about really reaching people.’ I’ve been fortunate to have people kind of foster that in me as I’ve grown in my practice and the medical director said ‘this is something you should be involved in.’ I did not know how transformative it would be.” Walk with a Doc events offer community members a chance to hear a community physician speak about a health topic before joining them on a walk where attendees can have a dialogue with the “doc” along the way. Talk with a Doc is a virtual 30-minute program in which a “doc” speaks about a health topic for about 15 minutes before opening the floor for questions and dialogue with virtual attendees. Both are free and open to the public. Visist www. lihealthcollab.org to learn more. “Meeting people where they are and breaking things down in a way that is tangible, that’s actionable, that’s reachable, has really made the difference,” said Dr. Guerrier. “It’s actually changed the way I speak to people in my practice. So, I don’t take this lightly, this is an honor to receive.” The award is the first of its kind and will be awarded to a different community champion at the end of each calendar year. —Submitted by Long Island Health Collaborative

In the wardrobe

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Be slightly more assertive about getting your needs met and your wishes heard. This may have to do with setting up your daily life to serve your own rhythms. Don’t let the others dictate your timing. You’ve an excellent instinct for setting a pace that others will fall in line with, and this will be healthier for all.

WORD FIND In the wardrobe Solution: 17 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Relationships move the energy in your world. A relationship that’s a little stuck will benefit from action in any direction. You could move things along with a self-sacrificing act, and you could also do it with an act of self-interest. What helps is knowing what you have to give, and what’s in it for you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll communicate with eloquence. You’ve a deep understanding of the impact of words as well as the power of listening. You also appreciate that this ability does not come easily to everyone. You’ll demonstrate great patience with people who are trying to figure out what to say, which is admirable and reassuring.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In the same way that adding, subtracting or substituting anything in a recipe changes the dish, group dynamics will be altered by any change in the lineup. A group decision is on the itinerary this week. Make sure your key players weigh in on it, ideally all in the same room. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The secret that birds know well: Higher is not always better. Altitude poses problems of pressure, heat and visibility, too. And way up there, who can hear your song? Go to the realms where you’re likely to have influence. Work the areas that provide logistical ease and an emotional climate you feel good in. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). While you can think a thing through in a flash, making it happen in real life takes about 10 times longer than you think it will. All the more reason to get down to the business of making things real. This is the only way to understand all the elements involved, including the time frame. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Stay on track with projections and goals. When you hear the word “no,” it just makes you change your emotional outfit. Put an emotional windbreaker on and keep going. And if the windbreaker isn’t enough, wear armor, or whatever will let you march forward until you get to “yes.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In even the sharpest minds like yours, memory can be unreliable. Keep careful notes of this week. Much happens that will go down in the annals of your personal history. A big feeling comes up, and you may not know what to do with it next. Agree to feel. It’s the only way to get practice in emotional management. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The concept of “frenemies” will come into play this week, as the energy between friends contains notes of envy and other energies that may not seem, at face value, to be friendly. Keep in mind that there are many kinds of help. And whatever motivates you to be and do your best is a boon to your life.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

The passion you bring to your endeavors is infectious, igniting a fire in others to pursue their dreams as you do -- relentlessly. You’ve an instinctual attraction to agents of mutual benefit. You’re a genius at uncomplicating things. You’ll create systems of ease that bring people together and help them earn, build and grow. Being at the center of this much excitement and creativity elevates your spirit and makes you feel powerful, like you can do anything, and you really can. COPYRIGHT 2024 CREATORS.COM

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). An expansion of your social network adds excitement and ease to the week. As your network grows, each individual relationship gets better. Knowing more people gives you the experiences that help you relax and relate easily to each. You’ll trust people because interactions teach you how they are likely to behave.

This is what you want for yourself, and you’ll have it. What you learn this week will inspire and fuel you toward your own new incarnation.

Here is a remarkable hand from a match between France and Italy in 1967. It features brilliant defense by Italian star Giorgio Belladonna, who sat West. Belladonna, from time immemorial an aggressive bidder, opened with one spade, after which the French North-South pair reached three notrump on the bidding shown. Belladonna made his first good

move when he led a diamond instead of a spade. Declarer won with dummy’s queen and returned the three of clubs. East could have settled declarer’s hash then and there had he grabbed the ace and returned a diamond. But East played low, and declarer won with the jack as Belladonna discarded the queen of spades! South realized he would surely go down if he persisted with clubs, so he shifted his attention to hearts, cashing the A-K-Q-J. Belladonna had to make two discards and threw a diamond and the deuce of spades. Declarer’s only chance for a ninth trick was to endplay West. So he cashed the A-K of spades, planning to put Belladonna on lead with a third spade and force him to concede a diamond to the king. But on the A-K of spades Belladonna dropped the J-10, retaining the seven. When declarer then exited with a spade, East won with the nine and returned a diamond to put the contract down one. At the other table, the Italian North-South pair also got to three notrump, but when West chose the queen of spades as his opening lead, declarer had no difficulty making 10 tricks after driving out the ace of clubs.

It’s Uniondale, Not “East Garden City!” Nassau County Legislature Alternate Deputy Minority Leader Siela A. Bynoe has filed legislation that will ensure Uniondale is properly identified in all County communications and documents. Following years of advocacy by Uniondale community leaders and elected officials, “East Garden City” was removed from the U.S. Census as a Census Designated Place starting with the 2020 Census. However, even after this official action, some people and entities continue to utilize the name “East Garden City” despite its inaccuracy and divisiveness. To address the continuous erroneous use of “East Garden City,” Nassau County Legislature Alternate Deputy Minority Leader Siela A. Bynoe (D – Westbury), who represents all of Uniondale in the Legislature, authored and filed legislation on Friday, Jan. 19 to prohibit the use of “East Garden City” in County documents and communications wherever Uniondale is legally appropriate and accurate, and require the use of the name Uniondale in “all County documents of any kind, including but not limited to legislative enactments, maps, software, internal or external correspondence and communications, and all agency records, county department records, and all records within each branch

of county government” when referring to the Census Designated Place of Uniondale as identified in the 2020 Census. Recent mistakes have illustrated the need for codifying this directive. Despite an alert from the Minority Caucus, Nassau produced new legislative maps after redistricting that included the erroneous name, necessitating reprints. Throughout 2023, the Nassau County Police Department issued no fewer than 44 press releases referencing “East Garden City.” And, in 2022, Jeopardy! misidentified the Cradle of Aviation’s Uniondale home as Garden City. Alternate Deputy Minority Leader Bynoe’s letter to Jeopardy! producers identifying the error brought global media attention to the issue. “The residents of Uniondale are rightly proud of their rich heritage, and they advocated diligently and conscientiously to ensure that their historic, diverse and inclusive home would be accurately reflected in the Census,” Alternate Deputy Minority Leader Bynoe said. “Through my legislative proposal, Nassau County will fulfill its responsibility to complete the realization of this important change – one that is a matter of fundamental respect for the people of Uniondale.” — Submitted by the Office of Nassau County Legislature Alternate Deputy Minority Leader Siela A.

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

Bachman-Turner Overdrive To Rock Out Westbury A chat with Randy Bachman

BY JENNIFER CORR

jcorr@antonnews.com

achman-Turner Overdrive is certainly back. The band behind rock hits like “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet,” “Hey You” and “Takin’ Care of Business” is stopping at NYCB Theatre at Westbury on Friday, March 8, as part of their “Back in Overdrive” Tour. Ahead of their performance in Westbury, Long Island Weekly had the chance to chat with lead guitarist and vocalist Randy Bachman, who shared his story about how he went from a kid inspired by an Elvis performance on television to a ‘70s rock legend. From ages 5 to 14, Bachman, who was born in raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, had been taking classic violin lessons. After failing an audition for the Winnipeg Junior Symphony, he went home to his mother and told her that he was going to quit. The following day, Bachman watched Elvis Presley perform on The Dorsey Brothers Stage Show on CBS-TV in 1956. “Elvis was wild,” Bachman said. “Suddenly, this was wild freedom for me and I jumped into it wholeheartedly.” Bachman was an A+ student before music became his life in grade 10. He met local guitarist Lenny Breau, who was a year older and began hanging out with him while playing hooky from school every afternoon.

When his mother confronted him about his report card and absences, Bachman told her he no longer cared about school and wanted to be a guitar player for the rest of his life. While Bachman had been playing high school dances with a band he formed with other young local musicians, he heard about another band across town, Al and the Silvertones, that was looking for a rhythm guitarist. As Bachman was auditioning, the lead guitarist broke a string, and Bachman finished the song and secured his spot as the new lead guitar player. That band became The Guess Who, known for hits like “American Woman” and “These Eyes.”

“This was now the late 1960s, like ‘68 or ‘69, we were touring the U.S.A,” Bachman explained. “We were the only males between 18 or 35. Everyone else was drafted… These women were all over us, especially the lead singer, Burton Cummings, who was like three years younger than me.” While playing a gig in Canada on a freezing February day, Bachman broke a string on his guitar. After changing his string, he began tuning his guitar with Cummings’ electric piano, which became the original rift of “American Woman.” The crowd began nodding their heads to the song, so the band began playing the rift. “And what [Burton] sings was ‘American woman, stay away from me.’ Because so many American women were bothering him,” Bachman explained. That song went on to chart at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Canadian RPM magazine single chart in May, 1970. After “American Woman” was released, Bachman had to stay home in Winnipeg under a doctor’s care while waiting to get gallbladder surgery. Once he healed, Bachman wanted to play in a band again, so he started a country rock band with his friend Neil Young, whose band Buffalo Springfield had just broken up. “People didn’t expect that,” Bachman said. “They didn’t buy it.“ Bachman was given advice to use his name, which had been well known at this point, in the band and to get back to rock and roll.

With Fred Turner and Bachman’s brothers, Robbie Bachman and Tim Bachman, in a new band, they called themselves Bachman Turner. The “Overdrive” part came from a trucker’s magazine the band found at a truck stop in Detroit, Michigan. “One thing I found out when I was trying country rock, nobody dances to it,” Bachman said. “So I started to do stuff with BTO that you could sing and that you could dance to… The minute you heard ‘Takin’ Care of Business’ when we get to the hook the next time, you’re singing ‘Takin’ Care of Business’ with us; when we get to ‘You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet,’ you’re singing ‘B-b-baby you ain’t seen nothing yet.” When we get to ‘Let It Ride,’ ‘you go ‘try, try, try to let it ride.’” To this day, Bachman said, he sees the audience dancing and singing, reliving memories. “BTO is back, rock and rolling,” Bachman said. “You look up and you look at a guy, he looks like a retired accountant or the principal of a high school who’s retired, and suddenly he’s standing on the seats, he’s ripped off his tie, he’s standing there with his hands in the air… And this lady who looks like a school mom or a hockey mom or soccer mom, she’s up there and she’s 19 again dancing with her girlfriend or her husband, and they’re all enjoying the moment of the music.” For more information about BachmanTurner Overdrive and their tour, visit www.btoband.com.
