Eagle Scout Helps Bats Out

TOP STORY

Matthew Milewski built bat houses for capstone project AMANDA OLSEN aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

ats may feature prominently in our Halloween décor, but they are actually an essential part of the ecosystem. They are the only mammals capable of true sustained flight and consume more than 1000 insects an hour. One Town of North Hempstead resident, Matthew Milewski, recently built over 30 bat boxes for various parks within the Town of North Hempstead as his Eagle Scout project for Plandome Troop 71. “I was looking for an Eagle Project that was conservation-based and would have an environmental impact, but also required building something. I reached out to a few different parks in Nassau County to get different project ideas and I chose mine because it had a great conservation aspect to it, it was very challenging, required a lot of hands-on building and also had an educational aspect to it,” said Milewski. Eagle Scout is the highest achievement or rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of America. Since its inception in 1911, only four percent of Scouts have earned this rank after a lengthy review process. The Eagle Scout rank has been earned by over 2.5 million youth. The project was suggested by John Darcy, Deputy Commissioner of Parks for the Town of North Hempstead. Installing bat boxes in local town parks offers a number of benefits. These well-designed shelters provide vital roosting sites for bats, which in turn, act as natural pest control agents, helping to reduce the population of disease-carrying insects such as mosquitoes. This reduces the need for chemical pesticides, promoting a healthier environment. While Milewski is interested in conservation, he did not have a particular interest in bats before beginning the project. However, with help from Darcy and biologist and Ranger Eric Powers, Milewski designed and constructed 32 boxes to be hung and distributed throughout the Town of North Hempstead. “Selecting the right project was a big challenge. I met with several individuals in different parks in Nassau County and researched several projects before picking this one,” said Milewski. The bat boxes had to meet certain criteria in order to maximize the chances

that the bats would use them. Certain kinds of wood are better than others, and the size of the opening and angle of the roof are also important. “Designing the bat houses was a very big challenge. My design went through a lot of revisions and changes based on feedback from my Eagle advisor and the certified Ranger/ Biologist I consulted along the way,” said Milewski. He also had to find a way to make the boxes easily. Most Eagle Scout projects, while planned by one scout, are executed with help from others within the troop. This was difficult to do over the summer. “My leadership skills were tested during the project- I had to manage my time and my helpers’ time during the summer months to get the project done quickly… Figuring out how to build the boxes in an efficient way was very challenging also. I mapped out a plan on how to build them in an assembly line fashion which saved a ton of time.” On September 21, the Department of Parks and Recreation hosted a Community Night at Clark Botanic Garden in Albertson. The guest speaker at the event was Powers, who gave an informational lecture on the biology of bats and their role in controlling mosquito populations. Milewski discussed his Eagle Scout project and displayed several of his newly constructed bat boxes. Also in attendance at the event was Town Supervisor Jen Desena. At the end of the evening, Powers took the group on a nature walk through Clark Botanic Gardens. Eagle Scout projects require a Scout to demonstrate leadership of others while performing a project for the benefit of their community. The skills Milewski has gained will serve him well going forward. “Organization skills, time management and working with others are all important skills that will help me with my classes and school projects in High School, as well as in college. Planning, fundraising, project execution and post-project review are the main pieces of any project and overall good skills to have.” Milewski’s mother, Tanja Milewski, expressed her pride in her son’s persistence. “I‘m very proud of him that he persevered and did it all he just didn’t give up. He just kept plugging away plugging away. I think it was it was a very big project for him to do a lot of different components to it that took a lot of planning and a lot of work.” Since undertaking this project, Milewski has a new appreciation for bats and their place in the ecosystem. “I learned about how important bats are to the environment, how bats are becoming endangered, and how pesticides that are used to kill mosquitoes are in turn killing the bats,” he said.

Local Girl Scouts Earn Prestigious Gold Awards Girl Scouts of Nassau County recently celebrated 55 local Girl Scouts who are members of the 2023 Girl Scout Gold Award class who made a sustainable impact, addressing causes they care about in their communities. Residents of Garden City, Floral Park, Williston Park, Albertson, Mineola, and Westbury who received a Gold Award for their contributions to their communities include the following scouts: Cristina Seoylemezian, Ella Pocock, Grace Power, Gretchen Murphy, Jaci Licari, Juliana

Mitchell, Kathryn Maloney, Madeline Mitchell, Maria Dalia, Keira Regan, Ryan Sievers, Kennedy Wilgosz, Ella Iannitti, Rebecca Reisig, Charlee Denzer, Grace Pizzardi, Julia DaSilva, Samantha Vitale, Shalini Samuel, Ava Schmidt, Sarah Vincent, and Yasmine Mathew. “Each of the Girl Scouts who earned their Gold Award this year showed fortitude, diligence and enthusiasm in creating and executing a plan to act on a societal issue. We are very proud and impressed by each of them for

reaching their goals and leaving a legacy with their communities,” said Randell Bynum, the CEO of Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “Their dedication is evident and their hard work has touched countless lives. This year, we had Girl Scouts addressing real-life issues such as environmental justice and sustainability, mental and emotional wellness, gender equality in sports, and more. We commend each of them for their important work.” Girls in grades 9-12 begin their Gold Award journeys by

identifying a civic or social issue that holds importance to them. Next, a Girl Scout builds a team to support her project with a mission to create a positive impact in her community. Gold Award projects are coordinated so that they can continue long after girls earn their award by establishing nonprofit organizations, publishing books to be added to school library collections, implementing classroom lessons to be taught for years to come or other initiatives to create lasting change. Through the process, Gold Award Girl

Scouts become innovative problem-solvers, empathetic leaders, confident public speakers, and focused project managers, while educating and inspiring others. They learn resourcefulness, tenacity, and decision-making skills, giving them an edge personally and professionally. As they take action to transform their communities, Gold Award Girl Scouts gain tangible skills and prove they’re the leaders our world needs. — Submitted by Girl Scouts of Nassau County

GARDEN CITY MARCHING BAND TAKES FIRST PLACE AT METLIFE COMPETITION On Oct. 7, the Garden City High School marching band persevered through the rain at MetLife Stadium in the Ludwig Musser Classic to finish first in their division out of 12 bands. This is the first time the GCHS marching band has earned first place at MetLife Stadium. The judges were impressed with the sound, energy and power that the band was able to perform with, especially during the rain. “The moment it started pouring down on the band, I looked at the bands’ faces, and they all had such an intense focus that I knew immediately they were going to be able to push through,” marching band director Daniel Dellamonica said. “Every member of the band stepped it up in that moment. It was incredible to see.” Dellamonica’s sentiments were echoed by his drum major, senior Jonathan Sanasie. “We knew our work,” Sanasie said. “We weren’t going to let a little water stop us. We played to our best efforts, and it showed.”

The band continued its season next on Oct. 14 at Northern Highlands High School, then had their Homecoming All-District Marching Band Day at GCHS on Oct. 21, followed by their US Bands NYS Championship on Sunday, Oct. 22. — Submitted by Garden City Public Schools

ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH KEY FOCUS OF GUIDANCE COUNSELORS’ CONFERENCE More than 100 guidance counselors from across Long Island visited SUNY Old Westbury on Friday, October 20, 2023, to participate in the 47th Long Island Counselors’ Annual Conference. The event was developed and run by leaders from the East End Counselors’ Association, the Nassau Counselors’ Association, and the Western Suffolk Counselors’ Association. “The conference planning committee did a great job in building a program that was timely, informative, and well-received by the attendees,” said Dr. Bryan Terry, vice president for enrollment management and marketing at SUNY Old Westbury. “We were pleased to serve as host for this year’s conference and to be able to support the professionals who work so hard to help students prepare for life after high school.” Focused on the theme “Bridging the Gap between Counseling and Students’ Behavioral Health,” the conference featured workshops on such topics as the resources and services for children with mental and behavioral health issues, identifying OCD

in the child and adolescent phase, the need for creating an improved environment for tradition and post-tradition foreign-born students, and the impact of mental health first aid. The conference featured a keynote address by Vera Feuer, M.D., director of pediatric emergency psychiatry and behavioral health urgent care for Northwell Health and associate vice president of the system’s School of Mental Health. In her discussion, she discussed the overall state of concern with adolescent behavioral and mental health wellness, recent rising statistics on anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and substance use, the impacts of social media and tech-based addictions in adolescents, and how to identify appropriate resources and coping skills. The event also featured a “College Connections Expo” where counselors could get the latest information about new programs, facilities and opportunities available for students at area colleges and universities. — Submitted by SUNY Old Westbury

Garden City Residents Vote To Restore St. Paul’s JANET BURNS jburns@antonmediagroup.com

n October 21, residents of the Village of Garden City cast their votes in the St. Paul’s Public Opinion Poll, deciding between two possible paths forward for the disused 500-room heritage building. According to the Village, the results of the poll are as follows: 4,339 residents participated 2,635 chose Option 1 (partial or full preservation)

1,704 chose Option 2 (demolition) Since taking office, Mayor Mary Carter Flanagan has said that moving ahead with either restoring the former school or demolishing it (while also preserving certain artifacts) was a priority for her. In May, Flanagan noted on the Village’s website, “I recognize that many of our residents, tired of hearing the arguing, are now experiencing what some have called ‘St. Paul’s Fatigue.’” The restoration involved in partial or full preservation of the building is estimated to be upwards of $100,000.

PUBLIC STATEMENT HEARINGS TO BE HELD IN PSC CASES 23-G-0225, 23-G-0226 – NATIONAL GRID NY AND NATIONAL GRID FOR GAS SERVICE On April 28, 2023, The Brooklyn Union Gas Company d/b/a National Grid NY (KEDNY) and KeySpan Gas East Corporation d/b/a National Grid (KEDLI)(collectively, the Companies) filed amendments to their gas tariff schedules proposing to increase their annual gas delivery revenues effective March 31, 2024. KEDNY proposes to increase its revenues by $414 million (a 28 percent increase in base delivery revenues or a 17 percent increase in total revenues). KEDLI proposes to increase its revenues by $228 million (a 24 percent increase in base delivery revenues or a 14 percent increase in total revenues). Although the actual bill impacts of these proposed changes on any particular customer class will vary based upon revenue allocation and rate design, the Companies state that a typical KEDNY residential heating customer will have a $30.95 average monthly bill increase and a typical KEDLI residential heating customer will have a $28.52 average monthly bill increase. The Companies state that the rate increases are largely due to the need to invest in critical infrastructure to comply with Federal and State pipeline safety mandates, increased costs to deliver expanded energy efficiency and other demand reduction offerings, and economic factors such as rising cost of material due to inflation, increased contractor costs, and increases in property taxes. The Companies state that their rate filings are focused on delivering safe and reliable service, meeting the needs of customers, and advancing the fossil fuel emission reduction goals of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA). The Companies also propose a moderated program to effectively maintain the current pace of leak prone pipe replacements through a more targeted replacement strategy; aggressively repair gas leaks and target the repair of high-emitting leaks through the use of advanced leak detection technology; continue or expand customer oriented initiatives to ensure energy affordability, improve customer experience and maintain customer satisfaction; improve the resiliency of the distribution system by investing in automation, safety valves, and storm hardening projects; and continue or expand many CLCPA-supporting initiatives such as non-pipe alternatives, energy efficiency and demand response programs.

Where The Wild Things Are: The STAR Foundation

Exotic, unwanted and wild animals find shelter at LI animal facility the education program, which brings these animals around Long Island for teaching purposes. This is different from a petting exhibition in that the wild animals are only handled by certified staff. The programs are a way of educating the public about these animals and keeps them from being euthanized. “We don’t exploit our animals, we do not take anyone somewhere that’s going to cause them distress. If an animal is not happy with being handled and being shown to people, we don’t do it. So if the animal is adjusted to that, we feel it’s appropriate to use it for an educational purpose,” said Ketchum.

AMANDA OLSEN aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

ori Ketchum, one of the directors of the Save The Animals Rescue Foundation, spends her days fielding calls, feeding creatures, and cleaning up poop. Lots of poop. Her facility in Middle Island is the premier rescue for injured wildlife, unwanted unusual pets, and abandoned exotic animals. When the NYPD seized a baby wallaby that was being exhibited illegally earlier this year, her team sprang into action. The wallaby is being cared for at the facility and will soon be housed in a permanent marsupial shelter. The rescue is a non-profit that is staffed by volunteers. They care for a huge variety of animals, from baby possums rescued from their mother’s dead body to abandoned tortoises and wounded owls. Neglected and discarded pets are a persistent problem. “You really shouldn’t have these animals in homes. Unfortunately a lot of the exotic animals are not actually designated illegal to have, it’s just impractical for the animal or the person who brings it home to have them.” Ketchum said. Escaped exotics are another way these animals find themselves in STAR’s care. “Either they lost it and didn’t know how to go about looking for something they weren’t supposed to have or dumped it and didn’t care. We get reports of people seeing these bizarre things. And you can never say ‘that’s impossible.’ Most people who have them aren’t going to come forward and say I lost this.” One example is the Tegu lizard now living at STAR. A woman found the lizard under her shed and was feeding it cat food. She called the rescue as the weather began to get cold, out of concern for the animal’s well being. Wild animals that are injured and cannot care for themselves may also be a candidate for rescue and rehabilitation, such as the great horned owl in care at press time. Others, such as the two oyster catchers, have sustained a disabling injury and should go to the long-term care of another qualified facility. Animals who are permanent residents and are docile enough may be added to

STAR is the only local facility that could properly care for the sloths from Sloth Encounters if they were to be removed. This is because of the very specific requirements to keep the sloths healthy and safe. “Sloths require a lot more than just some fencing and a house. They require 90 to 100 percent humidity. They grow algae on their hair that you need to have there. It’s part of their whole system. They poop like three pounds at a time. They have to have fresh leaves; you can’t just go snap off an oak branch, you have to have the right kind of vegetation. It has to be fresh and growing. We have a couple of glasswalled pens where we would temporarily house whatever comes in, do the best we can and move it on,” said Ketchum. Living at STAR would be temporary while arrangements were made to transfer them to one of several sanctuaries in the southern United States, where they would remain for the rest of their lives. Because they were not raised in the wild, these sloths cannot return to the jungles of South America, where they belong. Like most wild animals, sloths do not want to interact with people. Ketchum said, “one of the number one things about sloths is they don’t want to be handled. They’re not cuddly. They need to be left alone, they move slow. They have very delicate digestive systems and ecosystems on their bodies, and you shouldn’t be handling them. So taking them into people’s homes, to hold them and take pictures, is bad for them.” There is no way to know how many or what kinds of exotic animals are living on Long Island in private homes. In the past, there have been amnesty days

Hochul Announces Renewable Energy Is Moving Forward In New York 70 percent of the state’s electricity to be from renewable sources by 2030

overnor Kathy Hochul recently announced the largest state investment in renewable energy in United States history, demonstrating New York’s leadership in advancing the clean energy transition. The conditional awards include three offshore wind and 22 land-based renewable energy projects totaling 6.4 gigawatts of clean energy, enough to power 2.6 million New York homes and deliver approximately 12 percent of New York’s electricity needs once completed. When coupled with two marquee offshore wind blade and nacelle manufacturing facilities, this portfolio of newly announced projects is expected to create approximately 8,300 family-sustaining jobs and spur $20 billion in economic development investments statewide, including developer-committed investments to support disadvantaged communities. Today’s announcement supports progress toward New York’s goal for 70 percent of the state’s electricity to come from renewable

sources by 2030 – and nine gigawatts of offshore wind by 2035 – on the path to a zero-emission grid as required by the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. Following these awards, New York will now have enough operating, contracted, and under development renewable energy projects to supply 79 percent of the state’s 2030 electricity needs with renewable energy. “New York continues to set the pace for our nation’s transition to clean energy,” Governor Hochul said. “An investment of this magnitude is about more than just fighting climate change – we’re creating good-paying union jobs, improving the reliability of our electric grid, and generating significant benefits in disadvantaged communities. Today, we are taking action to keep New York’s climate goals within reach, demonstrating to the nation how to recalibrate in the wake of global economic challenges while driving us toward a greener and more prosperous

future for generations to come.” This announcement comes after Hochul’s veto of a bill proposing to expand the wind project near Long Beach. In her veto memo, Hochul cites the duplicative nature of the bill, and her concern that it will cause confusion. Additionally, Hochul stated that objections by the City Council of Long Beach over the alienation of parkland contributed to her decision. “It is incumbent on renewable energy developers to cultivate and maintain strong ties to their host communities throughout the planning, siting, and operation of all large-scale projects. Here, the City Council of Long Beach, the host community for the wind power project, has made clear that, while it supports the State’s efforts to transition from the use of fossil fuels, it would not support or authorize any alienation of parkland in furtherance of this project.” —Information compiled by Amanda Olsen

Where To Find Superior Nature Writing If you are reading this column I am thinking you might be interested in reading superior nature writing, either in periodicals or in books. I recommend several New York Times columnists, Margaret Roach, Margaret Renkl, Jennifer Ackerman, and Robin Wall Kimmerer. Most of them have also written excellent books. Margaret Wall Kimmerer is the author of the best selling book, Braiding Sweet Grass. If you are a subscriber to the New York Times then you have no problem going to their website and putting in each author’s name to see their list of articles. If you are not a subscriber you are still allowed ten free searches each month. Also if you know a subscriber they can gift you articles free. The first article that I remember noticing Margaret Renkl’s name attached was on June 13, 2022, “Helping Very Hungry Caterpillars Become Butterflies-It’s Complicated.” She writes about buying common milkweed plants at a plant nursery just because she sees Monarch caterpillars on the plants even though she has already got this plant in her garden. She wants to save the caterpillars. She keeps them protected indoors until they emerge from their chrysalis’ and then she releases them outdoors. In her yard the Monarch caterpillars are plagued by parasites from other insects and often don’t survive. She hates to interfere with nature but she wants to save Monarch butterflies, which are an endangered species. Jennifer Ackerman writes mainly about birds. After I read a very flattering review in the New York Times about her new book, What an Owl Knows. I borrowed the audiotape of it from the public library and am now listening to this wonderfully detailed and

comprehensive book on owls. I am learning so much. She has also written other books such as The Bird Way, a new look at how birds talk, work, play, parent and think, which I will read next. I was introduced to her writing from her columns in the New York Times. One recent article on June 7, 2023, “What Owls’ Silent Flight Tells Us About the World, Being quiet and inconspicuous has its advantages,” is a good introduction to her book about owls. From her article on May 29, 2020, during the COVID pandemic, “What Birds Do for Us and What We Can Do for Them,” she writes how the lack of people during lockdown was a boon, it appears, for wildlife: “...birds appeared to be thriving with the dip in noise and light and air pollution, along with emptied-out parks and public gardens that are usually a crush of people and traffic congestion. Here in the United States, ravens normally on edge around their nests in Yosemite were more relaxed, even playful in the empty parking lots, and endangered piping plovers had the beaches to themselves.” Margaret Roach writes about native plant gardening. Reading The Ideal Lawn Needs Little Mowing, published on September

24, 2023, prompted me to buy poverty oat grass seeds to try on a patch of my lawn. Some other really interesting articles are about blind birders who rely on listening. “For Some Birders, Listening is Everything,” August 6, 2023, and local people saving monarchs by raising them in their homes, “Blazing Their Own Path Toward Saving the Monarchs, October 25, 2023. This article describes a woman’s successful efforts to stop the cutting of common milkweed along NYC roads by work crews. Monarch butterflies depend on this plant to feed their caterpillars.

Learning Mandarin As An Old Dog “I’m learning Mandarin.” I told my husband this eagerly as we were getting ready to go for a walk. I think I could have knocked him over with a feather. “Why??” was his incredulous response. Now, dear readers, lest you think that at my age, one cannot teach an old dog like me new tricks, the importance of continuing education, regardless of the topic, is vital to keep one’s mind agile. I got the idea from an old theatre friend of mine, who stated that she was learning Spanish on the Duolingo app and strongly recommended it. I was interested in Chinese and Japanese culture for many years, so I decided to give Mandarin a whirl. This is not the first time that I wished to learn a new language. In my early teen years, I often found myself at Levittown Public Library in the “Foreign Language” section. I pored over books for endless amounts of time, and finally settled on a book of the French language. To this day, I can only count to five. Oh, and I can ask a waiter for a bowl of soup. That’s the extent of my French. When I was a freshman at Division Avenue High School, students were offered the opportunity to take an elective, which

SEE YOU AROUND THE TOWN Patty Servidio

was a study in foreign language. The only options were Spanish, French, and German. Most of my classmates signed up for First Year Spanish. I didn’t want to be like everyone else, so I opted for French. Sadly, the class was closed because there were only eleven students interested. That’s not to say that the class wasn’t available; the teacher closed the class after he had a small enough class that was easily manageable. I was crushed. The closing of First Year French meant that I had one of two options: choose Spanish, like everyone else, or take German. My father, ever the optimist, chirped, “Just think! You can try to get a job at Lufthansa when you graduate with four years of this language!” All I could

think about was how “hard” the language was. It wasn’t flowy and beautiful like romance languages. It had hard edges and when spoken, made the speaker sound like he or she was pissed off at the world. After my guidance counselor’s suggestion, I took those four years of German and won the German Award in my senior year. I was also taught The Lord’s Prayer and a love poem by my biology teacher, who was fluent in Deutsch. (Rest in peace, RD, and thanks for the lessons.) I never got a job at Lufthansa when I graduated, nor did I use those four years of study to benefit me in any way. I realized as I got older that I probably would have done very well had I taken Spanish, as it would have assisted me in my career as a registered nurse. There were many times when I required an interpreter for my patient care, and had I known even a smidge of that language, it could have made the experience of my patients a little less stressful. When my daughter entered Hicksville High School, she began her four-year elective study in Italian. I was very proud of how quickly she was able to let the words flow off her tongue and how naturally she spoke, and even prouder when she carried

on a basic conversation with a stranger at an event we attended. She also learned ASL (American Sign Language), a skill that she was able to use at an event at Mill Neck School. As a mom, I cannot even begin to tell you how the pride swelled in my heart (and eyes) as my daughter carried on a conversation with several deaf students. After watching an episode of The Big Bang Theory, where Sheldon attempts to teach himself Mandarin to make sure that his orders from a local restaurant are correct, I decided that Mandarin would be a wonderful challenge. Retirement is grand, but it is also a little boring in the afternoons. There is only so much The Waltons, Mike and Molly and The Big Bang Theory that a person can watch without going bananas. (Since my most recent flare, afternoons are “rest times”.) Hence, the Mandarin experience began. To date, I think the overall experience is going very well. I have learned about 150 words in the past three weeks. I can count to ten (higher than my French!), I can say “hello” and “goodbye”, and I can also identify some easy beverages and foods. I’m up to Chapter Four through Duolingo, and I’m happy (Wo hen gaoxing)

that I’m able to understand a little bit when I watch some Chinese dramas. Last week, as I was walking our dog Luna, I inadvertently overheard a conversation between two people. As one of the participants in the conversation drove off, we heard the other as she entered her house shout out, “Shi shi!” My husband looked at me quizzically, as if to ask, “What does that mean?” With a slight grin, I said, “She just said ‘yes, yes’!” Learning a second language in adult years helps to keep the brain young. It improves cognitive functions such as memory and intelligence. It lowers the risk of brain aging, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. It can boost one’s memory and helps with creativity. Learning a second language also helps to improve your concentration and listening skills. If you are game, I strongly recommend the Duolingo app, or even just the Duolingo website on your browser. The exercises are challenging but are also easy enough to get through within a few minutes. Brain health is important as we age, so why not try something new? You can, in fact, teach an old dog new tricks. Tuo you xiersi (to your health)!

It will be brighter than any other time of the year and will be visible all night long. This is the best time to view and photograph Jupiter and its moons. A medium-sized telescope should be able to show you some of the details in Jupiter’s cloud bands. A good pair of binoculars should allow you to see Jupiter’s four largest moons, appearing as bright dots on either side of the planet. November 4, 5 Taurids Meteor Shower. The Taurids is a long-running minor meteor shower producing about 5-10 meteors per hour. It is unusual in that it consists of two separate streams. The first is produced by dust grains left behind by Asteroid 2004 TG10.

The second stream is produced by debris left behind by Comet 2P Encke. The shower runs annually from September 7 to December 10. It peaks this year on the night of November 4 and the morning of the 5th. The second quarter moon may block most of the dim meteors this year. Best viewing will be just after midnight from a dark location far away from city lights. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Taurus, but can appear anywhere in the sky. November 13 - New Moon. The Moon will located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun and will not be visible in the night sky.

As animals prepare to migrate and hibernate for the winter, there’s lots to look at with your own, homemade telescope at this time of year (not to mention the night sky!).

Materials:

- Two empty paper towel tubes - Scissors - Masking tape - Paint, markers, or crayons to decorate your telescope - Optional: two convex lenses. If your parents have old reading glasses they aren’t using, ask them to help you remove the lenses from the frame. Make sure the glasses are reading glasses and not glasses for helping to see things far away. If you don’t have old reading glasses to use, you can ask your parents to order convex lenses online. Pick one of your empty paper towel tubes to be the inside tube, and one to be the outside tube. Take the inside tube and carefully cut that tube lengthwise. Wrap one edge of the cut side slightly over the other edge and hold it in place with one hand to keep this smaller shape, then slide the outside tube over the inside tube in your hand, and

let go. If it doesn’t slide smoothly, take it out and try again. If you’re using lenses, place one lens at the end of your telescope (on the free end of the outside tube), and use masking tape to secure it in place with the curved side facing in.

COVER STORY

Celebrating Groundbreaker Tess Garber LAUREN FELDMAN

lfeldman@antonmediagroup.com

orn on August 29, 1923, Tessie Shirley Pierce had no idea the name she would create for herself as a woman in the military. Moving to Cleveland at the age of five offered Tess and her family the ability to connect with the Cleveland Jewish Center, fostering and nurturing her roots as a Jewish woman. Her commitment to the protection and advancement of the Jewish people was put to the test during the outbreak of WWII. Garber’s brothers enlisted in the military at the onset of the war. She recalled feeling left out. There was no reason, in her opinion, why women should not have the opportunity for military service. She enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942 and was the only woman at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. There, she held steadfast to Jewish practices, including a Kosher diet and engaging in religious observances. She was eventually assigned to the signal division in 1943, which brought her to the Marine Corps headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. Tess was one of only eight in the Women’s Reserve (WAVES). While other branches of the military had focused training for the different sexes at the time, the Marines did not. Everyone was expected to commit to the same regimen. The women Marines were the only ones taking the same training as the men,” she recalled. Her time in the service was not totally devoid of sexist undertones, however. She recalled a time when she was told to clean the toilets with a small brush. “I don’t remember them telling the men to ever do that,” she said. Garber travelled with the Signal Corps to Washington D.C. to operate as a typist. She was responsible for passing on secure information, as well as notices of those who passed away in active combat. “I spent most of my time in the service... It was not a pleasant job. I had to notify people of deaths, wounds, being taken prisoner. It was really heartbreaking... But all these things were a part of what I agreed to do. Whatever they needed me to do, I would do.” Being not only a woman, but also Jewish, it was unclear what Garber’s experiences were going to be upon entering the service. “I was very lucky,” she said. “The first day I was there, I came back from my duties and took my tie off. I was wearing a Jewish star—my mother never let me leave home without it—and as I walked down to get my mail, a [woman] reached out and grabbed my arm. She said, ‘I see you’re one of the tribe.’ Which confused me because I didn’t know what tribe she

was talking about.” That is how Garber met Eleanor, a lifelong friend who introduced her to other Jewish women serving at the base. Altogether, they formed a small but close cluster of half a dozen, and spent a lot of time together, attending events at the local temples. “It was a good adventure for me. I learned a lot from these girls,” she said. “All of them had been, with the exception of myself and one other girl from Denver, were all from New York. I certainly

never dreamed I’d one day become one of those New Yorkers,” she joked. In 1945 she crossed paths with Army veteran Morris Garber, a man who had weathered eight battles in the North African campaign. The duo connected and married in 1946. 1947 brought Tess into the folds of international diplomacy. She assumed a typist position with the United Nations and relocated to Long Island; first to Long Beach, before eventually settling in Jericho, which Tess still calls home. There, she continued to promote the Jewish cause by joining the Midway Jewish Center. She would also go on to work for 33 years in the Nassau Library System, while bolstering the importance of recognizing Jewish service in the military, as well as providing women with more substantial opportunities to serve their country. Tess recently turned 100 years old. She was honored by the Jewish War Veterans at one of their meetings. She was awarded a certificate, which read, “On behalf of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America, we

congratulate you upon reaching a One Hundredth birthday milestone. “Thank you for your service in the U.S. Marines and for your devoted service on behalf of JWV SGT Gleir-Levitt Post 655. “Your commitment and unwavering service has brought great credit upon yourself, JWV, and your country.” She survived her husband Morris, who passed away in 2011, after 65 years of marriage. In the century since she was born, much has changed for Jews, women, Americans, and those who live in the center of those identities. By forefronting the dedication and commitment to serving one’s country, we both celebrate the achievements of our nation, as well as counter the bitter taste of recent and historical tragedies. Garber was (and still is) a phenom promoting women’s inclusion in the armed forces, swimming against the tide to promote the importance of women’s involvement in the war effort. She serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by trailblazers facing adversity, and the unwavering bravery of the human spirit. —Additional information provided by the Jewish Historical Society of Long Island website

Burn Pit Registry: What To Know

n 2014, VA launched the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry for veterans and service members who were exposed to open air burn pits at military sites in Iraq and Afghanistan. It contains health information collected from thousands of veterans and active duty service members who completed a questionnaire online. VA is studying the health of exposed veterans and service members through the Burn Pit Registry and other research efforts. If you served in eligible locations you can participate in the Burn Pit Registry. Even if you do not have any current symptoms, VA encourages you to take part.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. The Burn Pit Registry tells VA about your exposures. By completing an online questionnaire, veterans and servicemembers can use the Burn Pit Registry to report their exposures and related health concerns. Documenting exposures early ensures that participants will be monitored over time and that VA can improve programs to provide the necessary health care and resources should any health problems emerge. 2. The registry provides a summary of your health for you and health care providers. The Burn Pit Registry helps participants become more aware of their own health and allows them to receive updates about VA studies and treatments. It also helps researchers study the health effects of burn pits and other airborne hazards, resulting in better long-term health care from VA. Those who are eligible can get an optional, no-cost, in-person medical evaluation. 3. Many veterans who deployed after 1990

DOES YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR INVEST LIKE THE BEST? DO THEY EMPLOY THE TIME-TESTED PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESSFUL INVESTMENT? IS YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR A LEGAL FIDUCIARY AVOIDING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST?

are eligible to join the registry. VA uses deployment information from the Department of Defense (DoD) to determine eligibility for the Burn Pit Registry. To be eligible, you must be a veteran or service member who served in the Southwest Asia theater of operations at any time on or after Aug. 2, 1990, or Afghanistan or Djibouti on or after Sept. 11, 2001.

Rolling Thunder Rallies For Veterans On Sunday, Oct. 8, dozens of members of Rolling Thunder New York Chapter 6, led by Chapter President William Byrne, assembled at the Marine Corps League in Massapequa for the Annual Motorcycle Run for PTSD Awareness, along with many veterans and affiliate organization members from across the tristate region. The rain remained at bay. The ride and post-festivities were a success. Rolling Thunder, Inc. is a nonprofit organization with more than 90 chartered chapters throughout the United States and

members abroad. While many members of Rolling Thunder, Inc. are veterans and many ride motorcycles, neither qualification is a prerequisite. Rolling Thunder, Inc. members are old and young, men and women, veterans and non-veterans.

.S. Army Sergeant Bernard J. Sweeney, Jr., killed in action in World War II at age 22, was laid to rest on Oct. 10 at Calverton National Cemetery in section 67. It was a privlege for the cemetery to welcome Sweeney home to his final resting place. More than 500 people were in attendance for the funeral, which included a horse-drawn caisson accompanied by a riderless horse (provided by Warrior Ranch Foundation) in tribute to the fallen soldier. Full military honors were provided by Alexander-Rothwell Funeral Home in Wading River. Military honors included a Blackhawk flyover and the firing of a ceremonial cannon. Originally from Waterbury, CT, Sweeney went missing in action in 1944 near Strass, Germany, in association with the Battle of Hurtgen Forest where he was fighting German forces as part of Company 1, 330th Infantry Regiment, 83rd Division. His unidentified remains were recovered from a minefield in Kleinhau, Germany, and were interred in Belgium, designated as “X-2752 Neauville” in 1950. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) worked with the American Battle Monuments Commission to disinter Sergent Sweeney’s remains for identification. DPAA used historical data and DNA analysis to positively identify Sweeney in 2021.

On Friday, Oct. 6, an Island-wide message went out to members of the Patriot Guard Riders, American Legion Riders, Rolling Thunder Chapter 6 of Long Island and several other veteran-based organizations to assemble in Queens for the dignified escort of Sergeant Sweeney’s remains from the airport to the awaiting funeral director in Wading River. Sweeney entered the military on Nov. 27, 1942, in New York City.

Several local officials allege that Sweeney’s last remaining next-of-kin was a great nephew who died in a tragic accident shortly after providing DNA to help close the case in 2021. Visit www.dpaa.mil for more information about Sweeney and thousands of other troops who have been recovered or who remain missing in action. —With additional details provided by Calverton National Cemetery

s most things happen in the veteran community, despite appearing to be well-planned and organized, things happen quite through a vast network and onthe-fly. Back in 2018, Wayne Cohen, Patriot Guard captain and vice president of Rolling Thunder Chapter 6 on Long Island, was at an affiliate event in Port Washington setting up the traveling Vietnam Wall. While assembling

the wall, Cohen was approached by Jay, a veteran of the Whitestone VFW. Jay told Cohen that their building had been sold and they were borrowing meeting space from the nearby Polish Hall in Maspeth. He said that the VFW was the custodian of more than 160 ceremonial burial flags of veterans who have died over the past couple of decades. The flags had been shuffled from the once-Whitestone post where they were prominently displayed

and were now languishing in the basement of the hall in Maspeth. He asked for Cohen’s assistance in finding proper custodians for these flag cases. Cohen, known for seizing opportunities to honor and assist veterans, took action. He put out the call to several veteran organizations that he is affiliated with, and some are within multiple organizations in the network, including other Patriot Guard Riders, Rolling Thunder, American Legion

posts, Veteran of Foreign Wars (VFW) posts, AMVETS posts, Legion Riders, and many others. American Legion Post 144 in Williston Park hosted two separate ceremonies, organized by Cohen. Some who stepped up to assist took one ceremonial flag, others like the Elmont and East Meadow American Legion posts took five or more. Some people took them home, others took them to their places of business or to the affiliated veteran posts for public display.

that was included inside the flag cases were shared with a local historian who has resources to attempt to learn more about these veterans as individuals and potentially build out their service story details. With the advances in genealogical research there are more opportunities now than ever before to locate a possible next-of-kin, even generations removed. Some of the flag cases contained vague service record details and general biographical information. Many flag cases contained nothing except the man’s name on a brass nameplate affixed to the flag case. The commander of the East Meadow American Legion took custody of five flags for his post. These veterans were labeled as “NOA” meaning they had no one in attendance at the time of their death. The state and the VA (Bronx and St. Albans), after doing their due diligence to identify a familial connection, simply assigned the local veterans service posts as the custodians of the burial flags of these men. “It has been such an honorable thing to do,” Cohen said. “I had no problem finding custodians for the flags; people are still asking me if there are flags, even when I go to meetings and events outside of Long Island.” This is an ongoing effort, through various Navy veteran Marc Wolf Gold Star sister Donna Conti Air Force veteran Ed Finley organizations. The American Legion hosts a similar program call The Missing In America Project.

Recovery Program. Cohen and many others participated recently in a dignified transfer of more than 65 burial urns of veterans to Calverton National Cemetery. “Sadly, I know these flag cases are occasionally discarded in local collection boxes for proper flag disposal,” Cohen said. The once-custodians might be moving and cannot take it with them, or they do not know what else to do with it, or it’s from someone in their family long, long ago and they have no sense of responsibility to continue caring for the symbolic memento. “If anyone finds these in flag disposal boxes, we would like to pass the custody to someone else rather than dispose of that flag,” Cohen said. “Just because it is folded properly though doesn’t mean it was necessarily a burial flag, but if there is some identifying information of who this flag was used to lay to rest, we would like to assume custody.” Visit www.longislandweekly.com to view the whole list of the veterans whose burial flags have been dispersed to dozens of custodians across Long Island. Editor’s note: I took custody of a flag because veterans are all connected by an invisible bond. These are my brothers and sisters, no matter which war era we are from. It’s incredibly heartbreaking to me that somebody died with no family; nobody was there to lay them to rest. It is even more of my duty to take custody of a burial flag.

n Thursday, Sept. 14, the three newly elected New York State department heads, American Legion Commander Timothy Collmer, American Legion Auxiliary President Karen St. Hilaire and Sons of the American Legion Detachment Commander Peter DeAngelis, visited Nassau County. They were greeted by current Nassau County American Legion Commander Sean Hood, and Nassau County American Legion Auxiliary President Kathleen Murphy. Several members of the American Legion family from various posts throughout Nassau County joined them for breakfast at the Holiday Inn in Carle Place. The Legion visitors followed in an escort, led by the Elmont American Legion Riders, to the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Uniondale where they received a tour from a very passionate guide who has worked there since the 1980s. The group got to witness the dedication ceremony of the F-14 Tomcat which had been flown from the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt, and which arrived a few days prior for installation at the entrance to the Cradle of Aviation parking area. The tour continued with a visit next door to the Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center, where many learned that St. Hilaire, in her earlier years, served not only as a firefighter but also as fire commissioner. The guests, who hail from upstate New York (Nunda, Mattydale and Narrowsburg, respectively) were then escorted to the next leg of the tour which brought them to the Nassau County Veterans Memorial, Field 6A, at Eisenhower Park, which serves as a tribute to the heroes of Nassau County, and dedicated to the bravery of two groups of Nassau County residents—deceased veterans of all wars and county firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty on 9/11. In 1947, the park dedicated a memorial to those who died in World War II, and the Veterans Memorial plaza has been growing ever since. The Legion visitors got to see the individual monuments honoring Purple Heart and Medal of Honor recipients, Merchant Marines, veterans of World War II, the Korean War, POW/MIA, the September 11 Memorial, Agent Orange Awareness tribute as well as the recently added Iraq/ Afghanistan Wars Monument. In 1971, the county constructed the Veterans Tower dedicated to Nassau County veterans of the Civil War, Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, Korean and Vietnam Wars. In 2015, a monument was added in honor of the Nassau County American Legion Auxiliary. The ‘Avenue of Flags’ represents active veteran organizations in Nassau County, and thousands of names appear on the

American Legion Family Visits Nassau County ever-growing Walls of Honor, which honor all veterans who served, living or deceased. In addition, the Legion visitors availed themselves of the Veteran’s Museum located inside the Veterans Tower, which houses timely donated military artifacts. Legion guests were then welcomed at a “Nassau County American Legion Family Testimonial Dinner and Dance” at The Coral House in Baldwin where they were joined by a large turnout of membership from American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, Sons of the American Legion, and American Legion Riders for a ceremonial dinner in their honor. The American Legion (as of April 2023), as well as the American Legion Auxiliary (as of November 2023), are celebrating their 104th anniversary. In April of 2019, membership in the American Legion was extended to include all honorably discharged veterans who have served during any period since Dec. 7, 1941. This closes the eligibility gaps and makes membership more available. Prior to this change, membership was contingent upon service during specific periods. This amendment to the American Legion’s Congressional charter allows for increased membership. This change in membership qualifications stands to increase benefits to

6,000,000 more veterans. In addition, as of August 2019, membership in the American Legion Auxiliary, which up to that time had been an all-female organization, has been extended to include all spouses (female or male) of U.S. veterans and service members who meet the American Legion eligibility

requirements, i.e. married to an American Legion member. This amendment makes the American Legion Auxiliary the largest and most inclusive volunteer organization supporting veterans, their families, children and youth. With these improvements in eligibility, those interested in joining either the

American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, Sons of the American Legion or American Legion Riders should contact their nearest American Legion post. —Rosanne T. Spinner is the sergeant-at-arms and public relations chairperson for the Nassau County Committee of the American Legion Auxiliary.

Protect Your Trees From Winter Damage A

s the temperature drops and leaves begin to fall, homeowners routinely prepare their property by cutting back perennials and winterizing lawns, but most neglect to properly prepare their trees for the cold, harsh winter season. Long Island’s Pinelawn Memorial Park and Arboretum, which is known for its world-class arboreta, is regularly approached by homeowners, requesting tips on how the Level II Arboretum cares for and maintains its 500-acre property with its diverse assortment of prized trees. “Many trees that are not prepared for winter might be subject to stress, disease, fungus and physical damage,” Ertugrul Kasap, the master gardener at Pinelawn explained. “In New York especially, our trees undergo a large amount of stress from the cold, wind and ongoing wet conditions, but if you take the time to care for them now, you will help your beloved and beautiful trees withstand the harsh winter weather to ensure their vitality and growth come spring.” Kasap is well-versed in maintaining thriving environments, overseeing the landscape of the 500-acre property, including its collection of highly valued trees. Kasap suggested taking tree soil samples which should be done twice a year—in the fall and in the spring. Tree soil sample kits can be purchased at local home stores and will indicate if the soil needs fertilizer. Inspect trees to check for vulnerability which can be identified by yellowing leaves or needles, early loss of foliage, thin canopy, decay, insect, or physical damage and broken branches. If the tree is showing signs of vulnerability, a local arborist should be contacted. He also

suggests homeowners research the type of trees they have and keep up with the geographical data in their area to understand which trees may be most vulnerable during winter. Recently planted trees should be watered before temperatures freeze. Some recent fall plantings may require protection from harsh wind, remedied by wrapping them

in burlap. To prevent damage from heavy snow, some trees may need to be tied up to reduce the chances of the weight breaking their branches. Pinelawn’s Arboretum, which was awarded Level II status from the International Arboretum Accreditation Program, ArbNet in 2021, is home to three distinct collections of trees, including their Noteworthy

collection, which boasts 10 of its highest priority trees, including a 120-year old Weeping Beech. Pinelawn Memorial Park and Arboretum is located at 2030 Wellwood Ave. in Farmingdale.

Art League Of LI Shuttered After Rain Damage

eptember’s unprecedented rainstorm wreaked havoc on Long Island and the Art League of Long Island was not spared from the wrath of Mother Nature. The heavy rains on the night of September 29 led to extensive rain damage within the Art League of Long Island’s two-story art center, located at 107 East Deer Park Road in Dix Hills. As a result, the organization has been compelled to temporarily close its doors, including all exhibits, programs, and classes, for an estimated duration of four weeks or more, according to Marianne Della Croce, the non-profit’s executive director. The rainstorm caused substantial damage to the gallery, studios, hallways, and office space, resulting in significant harm to floors and walls, while only minimal damage was incurred by two wall murals created by our Resident Artists Program. In response, the Art League promptly engaged the services of ServePro to commence the abatement process, which was successfully completed in under two weeks. Following this phase, the Art League will embark on the reconstruction of its facility, “presenting a unique opportunity to deliver

a fresh and enhanced Art League experience to the vibrant community of Long Island upon reopening,” said Della Croce. The Art League is also working with other local nonprofits and community partners to temporarily host some of our upcoming events and classes. Croce and education & program manager, Ersule Metelus, have spent the last week visiting these alternate sites to determine the best fit for each one of our unique programs. The Long Island Craft Guild, originally scheduled to host a month-long exhibition at the Art League titled “Seeing the Other,” featuring local artists’ work, had to cancel its opening reception planned for the day after the storm. In response to the unforeseen circumstances, the Craft Guild artists have retrieved their artworks, including glass mosaics, sculptures, wood designs, and pottery, all of which fortunately remained unscathed. The Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery at the Art League of Long Island is a highly sought-after exhibition space, often reserved a year in advance. The Art League has offered the group gallery space for the year 2025, allowing them ample time to determine their way forward.

Awards Reception & Auction

Furthermore, the Latin Heritage Month Celebration, co-hosted by the Art League and Colored Colors and sponsored by Legislator Manuel Esteban, has been rescheduled for Saturday, November 4, 2023. This event promises to be a vibrant and culturally enriching experience for all attendees, featuring music, dancing, delectable Latin cuisine, and a variety of vendors offering unique cultural products and crafts. The event’s headlining band, Bachatu, will serenade the audience with captivating rhythms. Additionally, children will have the opportunity to participate in a Huichol Mexican Yarn Painting project, providing a hands-on cultural experience. Their Ceramics Department Fundraiser, “Made with Mud, Kissed by Fire” which was scheduled for October 21st has been postponed to January 27, 2024. The Art League of Long Island looks to bring you ceramic entertainment, raffles, an auction, and hors-d’oeuvres for you to enjoy while helping support one of their dynamic departments.

The Art League of Long Island has faced significant operational challenges before. The non-profit was forced to put its headquarters on the market due to the closure necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Revenues, primarily derived from tuition, along with donations,

memberships, exhibition, and gallery rentals, quickly dwindled. Nonetheless, a local fundraising campaign generated over $100,000 in donations, which aided in steering the Art League away from financial turmoil. Marianne Della Croce remains hopeful that the community will rally around the Art League once again, ensuring its resilience as it progresses

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will accept the way people show up, meet them where they are and make it feel safe for them to be fully themselves. You don’t want anyone to hide or perform for your acceptance. This is love. Whatever comes out of it will ultimately feel better than the disconnection caused when people try to control one another.

Party time Solution: 20 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re not one to take your position for granted. Wherever you are in the world, it’s a different vantage from anyone else. There will be times this week where it feels as though you’re still learning to see. You’re re-teaching yourself the meaning of these shapes and patterns in the world. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It is said that the artist’s work is always, to some degree, a self-portrait. The same will be true of other choices people make. When people speak of others, it’s a way of telling about themselves. You’re savvy to the many layers of human self-expression. While others are dazzled by smoke and mirrors, you’ll see only the truth.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re comfortable in different worlds and communicating with those who have various strengths. You can speak logically or whimsically; you fit in with conventional styles even as you make sense of absurdity. You’ll be a translator for the less versatile, bridging communication gaps between people. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The focus will be on big ideas and the future -- the sort of things that don’t need to be decided in a day. Some conversations are meant to simply put a topic on the table for further investigation. Your immediate responses may convey more intensity than is useful. With extra thought and effort, you’ll frame things in the best way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Trust your allegiances. Life brings mixed results no matter who is involved, so you’ll do well to stick with your original crew. Don’t hire someone to come in and “save the day” who wasn’t there when “the day” didn’t need saving. That person doesn’t understand “the day” the same way you do. Loyalty will have multiple benefits. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can tell how other people are feeling, and if you let yourself, the emotion will come over you, too. For this reason, it can be taxing for you to inhabit highly emotional environments. It can also be healing, invigorating, exciting and joyful. Just remember, you don’t have to stay anywhere. You are free to choose your own experience. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It would seem that talking is just repeating what you know, but it’s also possible to discover through talk. There are so many layers to communication including the subconscious ones that dominate every exchange. You’ll pick up all kinds of knowledge this week and apply it to get exactly what you most desire. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Go easy on the projections this week. Trust and enjoy life, and let go of your worries about the future. Think about who you are now. You would not have guessed this is who you’d become. Though you’ll keep steering and hitting many of your aims, the next version of you is equally out of your realm of imagining.

You have your own personal ethos you adhere to. When it comes to your work, you set the bar higher than anyone else would set it, and you rise to it as well. You’re not afraid of conflict or risk and will dive into situations that others shy from. More highlights: Your gallant effort will be rewarded. You’ll perform a duty and be given more responsibility and money. You’ve a talent for gathering family, creating memorable events and providing a place where your favorite people want to come together. COPYRIGHT 2023 CREATORS.COM

Solution: Birthday celebrations

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Friendship requires effort, time and energy. People prioritize friendship differently for their own complex reasons. When it clicks, cherish it, and when it doesn’t, this is nothing to overthink or take personally. You can’t know what complex factors are in play, but you can give your kind attention generously, knowing good things will happen when you do.

olution: Birthday celebrations

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll get the chance to reconnect with the sights, smells and sounds of childhood. You’ll think about your story and the many ways in which it could be told. The way you tell it to yourself is important, too. The new version is coming together -- a more comprehensive and compassionate understanding of what it means to be you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are no universally comfortable environments. Perfect temperature in the fresh air with sun streaming through the trees would be a nightmare for a fish. The best you can do this week is make yourself comfortable and shine from that place. You’ll attract many more there -- people who need and want to be there.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

Date: 11/1/23

By Steve Becker 310-337-7003 • info@creators.com

FOR RELEASE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2023

Collaboration is the key South dealer. East-West vulnerable. NORTH ♠K985 ♥6 ♦ 10 9 2 ♣ A Q 10 7 4 WEST EAST ♠72 ♠64 ♥ J 10 9 5 2 ♥A K 8 4 ♦AJ7 ♦8543 ♣9 8 6 ♣K 5 2 SOUTH ♠ A Q J 10 3 ♥Q 7 3 ♦KQ6 ♣J 3 The bidding: South West North East 1♠ Pass 2♣ Pass 2 NT Pass 3♠ Pass 4♠ Opening lead — jack of hearts. A declarer sees all of his side’s resources as soon as dummy appears, but the defenders do not have the same advantage. As a result, they must work harder to ascertain their respective assets and liabilities. If they collaborate well, they will nearly always collect all the tricks they are entitled to get. Consider this deal where routine defense would allow declarer to make four spades, while wellcoordinated defense would defeat the contract. West leads a heart,

won by East with the king. East must obviously shift to a diamond, but the question is, which one? First, let’s suppose East returns the three, in keeping with the standard practice of leading fourthbest. South would play the king, and West would presumably win with the ace. Unfortunately, if this position is reached — and it is only trick two — the defense is all washed up. Whatever West returns, South makes the contract, losing only a heart, a diamond and a club. Now let’s go back to trick two and have East return the eight of diamonds — a “top of nothing” lead. West can easily read the eight as East’s highest diamond, so — after South plays the king — West follows with the seven! West ducks the king because he knows declarer has the queen, and also because he sees that the only chance to beat the contract lies in scoring two diamond tricks. This can happen only if his partner regains the lead with either a club or a trump trick. If East can’t regain the lead, four spades cannot be defeated. West must reason along these lines to have a chance to beat the contract, and the path to the winning defense begins with East’s eight-of-diamonds return at trick two.

Statistics Throughout the pandemic, ridership was at an all-time low due to lockdowns and working from home. Since lockdowns have been lifted and people are moving back into offices, ridership has increased. “[In mid-October] we saw the highest average weekday ridership since the pandemic, averaging over 231,000 customers a day. We also had our highest ridership day since the pandemic [on Oct. 12], with approximately 249,000 customers,” said Free. “We have seen a significant increase in our operational reliability. On-time performance for October, as of [Oct. 18] is 95.06 percent, above our goal of 94 percent.” Grand Central Madison ridership has been increasing as well. When the project first finished, the split between Penn Station and Madison was 70-30. “Now, it’s regularly north of 35 percent of riders going to Grand Central,” said Free. “By delivering the best service, we can meet our current customer’s expectations and attract new customers.

Herricks Brings Celebratory Spirit To Homecoming

riday the 13th turned out to be a lucky night for Herricks Highlanders fans as they filled the high school stadium to capacity under clear skies and geared up for a high-energy homecoming celebration. The crowd roared as the parade, led by the band and cheer teams, marched by with hundreds of waving students, parents and teachers representing each of the district’s five schools, as well as administrators, board of education members and local dignitaries. As is Herricks tradition, the parade concluded with students from each of the high school classes showing off their own unique style and displaying custom banners designed in a contest to show who has the most spirit! As the festivities continued, honored guests were announced and senior football and cheer students were joined by their parents and introduced as they walked across the field basking in the spotlight of their final homecoming. The presentations were

capped off with a performance by the Herricks Dance Theatre Club and the announcement of the Highlander 10, an honor that recognizes 10 members of the senior class who are actively involved in the school community and nominated by peers. As kickoff approached, the attendees took to their feet for the Star-Spangled Banner and cheered as the Herricks Highlanders took to the field with leaps and bounds and prepared to take on the Roslyn Bulldogs. The Highlanders were dominant throughout the game and the fans were with them all the way, including filling the air with spirited chants and clouds of colorful confetti. During halftime, the crowd was entertained with performances by the Herricks Pep Band and Herricks varsity cheerleaders. The end of the game was just as fulfilling as the rest of the celebration with the Highlanders scoring a decisive 42-12 win. — Submitted by Herricks Public Schools

here’s no debating the impact Billy Joel has had on Long Island culture. After nearly a year of planning, the Long Island Music Hall of Fame (LIMHOF), located in Stony Brook, has announced the first ever exhibit dedicated to Billy Joel, an inductee at the hall of fame. The exhibit, titled Billy Joel- My Life, A Piano Man’s Journey, will open on Nov. 24 at noon. It will feature Billy Joel’s most cherished items including rare memorabilia, behind-the-scenes video, dozens of awards, rare audio and video recordings, vintage instruments and historic photos, many donated by Billy Joel and never seen before in public. The exhibit takes viewers through the beginning of Billy Joel’s life, all the way up to his residency at Madison Square Garden. “It was natural,” said Ernie Canadeo, LIMHOF Chairman, when asked how the idea to create an exhibit about Billy Joel came out. “We opened the museum a year ago in November of 2022 and early on, we just felt that it was appropriate to have an exhibit about him because of his Long Island roots and his fame. We started thinking about it, myself and my creative director Kevin O’Callaghan at the end of last year. We presented a rough concept to Billy at his [Madison Square Garden] show in late February and he loved it. We’ve actually been working on it ever since.” O’Callaghan said he and Canadeo met with him twice,

They were brought to a small room in the back of the Garden, and, O’Callaghan said, Billy Joel walked in by himself. “I designed the whole exhibition and I think the challenge was Billy Joel is kind of a humble guy,” said O’Callaghan. “I approached him with a concept that this wasn’t all about him. It was about the people he was inspired by, and were inspired by him. This exhibition is not only the journey of Billy Joel, it also touches upon people like Sir Paul McCartney, Beethoven, Ray

Charles, Otis Redding... People that were part of his journey. When I showed him the concept, his reaction to me was ‘So this is going to be a big party.’ And I said ‘That’s right. It’s going to be a party with you and your friends...’” Billy Joel, born in 1949 in the Bronx, grew up in the Levittown section of Hicksville. He began studying piano early on in his life in 1953, going on to perform and release records with various bands. He signed a solo recording contract in 1971 and released his first album, Cold Spring Harbor, and as he was touring the album, he disappeared in the West Coast as a result of a contractual dispute and performed in piano

bars under the name Bill Martin. Eventually, a radio station in Philadelphia recorded a song of his called “Captain Jack” and began playing it on air, which made it hard for Billy Joel to keep his low profile. Columbia Records tracked him down and offered him a recording contract, which led to the recording of Piano Man. The song “Piano Man” became his first top 20 single. He went on to release Streetlife Serenade, The Stranger. 52nd St., Glass Houses, Songs in the Attic, The Nylon Curtain, An Innocent Man, among other albums.

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

Canadeo said Billy Joel has had a positive impact on the image and notoriety of Long Island because he always speaks about his Long Island roots and displays pride. Because of his impact, Canadeo said this exhibit, taking place on Long Island, is appropriate. “He is really proud of where he’s from and he’s our ambassador to a certain degree of Long Island,” O’Callaghan said. “We’re lucky to have him, of someone of his stature... He still has a house in Sag Harbor. I don’t think he’ll ever totally leave Long Island.” O’Callaghan also remarked at the way that most Long Islanders have some connection to him, as many people have randomly met him in person at a restaurant or while he’s driving his motorcycle. “He is a very down to earth guy,” Canadeo said of Billy Joel. “Easily approachable, funny, casual. That’s how I would describe him.” The organization behind LIMHOF was formed about 20 years ago, but the museum opened up last year. “We’ve inducted over 120 musicians and other music professionals from Long Island,” Canadeo said. “We include, as Long Island, Suffolk, Nassau, Queens and Brooklyn. And in the hall of fame we have memorabilia from a lot of our inductees. Each inductee has a plaque that you can scan and see their bio and a playlist. We span every musical genre. You’ll see things we have from Run-DMC to Billy Joel, and Joan Jett, Pat Benatar and even Louis Armstrong...” For more information about LIMHOF, visit www.limusichalloffame.org.
