TOP STORY

Centenarian Shares His Wisdom Ward Wright looks back on his 100 years AMANDA OLSEN aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

n his almost 100 years on earth, Arthur “Ward” Wright has seen many things change. A lifelong resident of the Manhasset area, he started out with his parents and brothers on Hillcrest Avenue. His father owned Wright Hardware on Plandome Road. Their necessities like coal, ice, milk and eggs were all delivered to their home. There were no supermarkets or department stores. He rode in cars with rumble-seats and often took the LIRR to Great Neck to spend the day at the movies. He even remembers the eastern part of Manhasset being fields and woods. Those days were carefree and restless. “I never stayed home. I had my meals and then got out of the house. Lot of times I was just playing, running up the street and back again, or I took my bicycle and rode around various streets close by. I just wasn’t comfortable staying in the house all the time,” Wright recalled. “(There were) half a dozen or so boys and girls, and we played in the street. There were no cars, no through traffic because it was a neighborhood street. We played out there, girls and boys both, playing baseball or sleigh riding in the wintertime. It was a very warm, small community.” As he grew he attended Plandome Road School and then Manhasset High School. His graduating class the first to go through all the grades in the new school. He was active in sports and music, playing both football and lacrosse and participating in the high school band on the drums. In football, he played both running back and

quarterback. Because he also wanted to play in the halftime show at the games, the football coach let him go a few minutes early so he could run back to the locker room to change into his band uniform. He’d drum in the band performance then quickly change back into his football uniform and get back to the game. He enlisted in the Army Air Force right out of high school as a PFC. He was promoted to corporal and was a gun mechanic for fighters and bombers, mostly in France.

He was not on the front lines, but instead supported the planes that were. “I got to meet a lot of nice guys. On our days off and so forth we had a good time, went hiking and things like that in the nearby hills,” Wright said. Towards the end of the war, he was a passenger in a troop carrier flying back to England when the plane crashed into a rising hillside in a dense fog from a rainstorm. Because of his seat position, he was thrown free of the burning plane, but

many others were either killed or severely burned, including the person next to him. While recovering in a military hospital in England, he shook hands with the Queen Mother when she came to visit the injured troops. After the war, Wright returned to Manhasset and began spending time in his father’s hardware store. During WWII,

Temple Judea Provides Food For The Needy In keeping with the Jewish tradition of providing for the needy, the Social Action Committee of Temple Judea, chaired by Rita Marcus and Alicia Munves, once again organized its annual High Holy Days food collection project. Congregants brought food to the synagogue during the week between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. When the project was completed, a van from the INN, Interfaith Nutrition Network, arrived at the Temple to pick up the very generous donations of non-perishable foods.. Recently, Temple Judea has also partnered with the Sid Jacobson JCC to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to be distributed by the JCC Community Needs Bank. For more information about the many varied programs and activities as well as the dynamic Religious School of Temple Judea, call 516 621-8049, Steven Goldberg, Executive Director, or www.temple-judea.

14th Annual Light The Night Is December 3rd Munsey Park Women’s Club (MPWC) is proud to be organizing its 14th Annual Light the Night on December 3rd at 4:30pm. Light the Night is an annual event that celebrates unity in the Village of Munsey Park and kicks off the winter holiday season with festive lights. Residents purchase luminary kits for the front of their properties and light the candles in unison at dusk. The result is a beautiful, luminous village. In addition to residents illuminating their yards, volunteers assist with setting up the luminary kits along various public areas, including Waldmann Park, the Park Avenue hill, and Munsey Park School. Light the Night coincides with the Munsey Park Tree Lighting at Copley Pond, which is December 3rd at 5 p.m. Residents are encouraged to walk to the tree lighting and enjoy the lights along the way. Both events are meant to bring village residents together for an enjoyable evening. The funds raised through Light the Night are used for various beautification projects in Munsey Park. Luminary Kits can be purchased in one of four ways: 1) Kits may be purchased at Waldmann Park on December 2nd from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

2) Kits may be purchased from 316 Manhasset Woods Road on December 3rd from 3 to 4 p.m. 3) Kits may be purchased at Munsey Park Village Hall after November 20th. 4) Kits may be purchased through a mail-in form that has been sent to every household in the village. The MPWC was established in 1932 with the purpose of strengthening friendliness and civic responsibility among the residents of Munsey Park. In addition to Light the Night, the MPWC organizes a number of other events for the community, including children’s events, adult-only social events and the Munsey Park Fun Run in June, their largest philanthropic event of the year. All residents of Munsey Park are invited to join the club and attend the various activities. Some of MPWC’s other events include the Children’s Halloween Parade and their annual “Shop Around the Block” event. For more information on the MPWC, please email mpwomensclub@yahoo.com or follow them on Instagram @mpwc1. —Submitted by the Munsey Park Women’s Club

Veterans Day Ceremony At Mary Jane Davies November 11 Veterans Day (originally called Armistice Day) is a federal holiday that honors all honorably discharged military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. Major hostilities of World War I were officially concluded at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month when the armistice with Germany began in 1918. Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954. Although the Federal holiday is being observed on November 10th this year,

the American Legion always honors its Veterans on November 11. Veterans Day ceremonies are always held on the 11th no matter which day of the week it is. As a result, the American Legion Post 304 Manhasset will be holding a special ceremony at Mary Jane Davies Park on Saturday, November 11. The ceremony will begin promptly at 11:00 AM EST. All are invited. —Submitted by American Legion Post 304

CENTENARIAN from page 3 his father had hired women to wait on the customers because all of the men were fighting overseas. One of them, a woman named Doris, had a friend named Inez “Peggy” Smith visiting from her hometown in Georgia. Peggy had been enlisted herself, in the Navy as one of the WAVES, or Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service. Peggy took an interest in Wright. Their first date was a high school football game. Six months later they were married. Wright and Peggy first lived on Nassau Avenue then moved to Northwoods Road in Flower Hill, where they raised two boys and two girls. Wright worked alongside his brothers at the hardware store, eventually taking over the business. “I loaded trucks, swept floors, waited after customers and did book work in the office. I had two brothers, one younger and one older, all three of us worked together in the hardware store. The store was passed on to us when my father died,” said Wright. He retired from the store in the early ‘90s after more than fifty years. Peggy developed Alzheimer’s in the early 2000s. At that time, they decided to downsize and moved into a small ranch in Manhasset, where Wright was his wife’s sole caregiver for seven years. She died in 2010. They had been married for 64 years. Wright continues to live by himself with just a little assistance from his family. He walks several times every day around the neighborhood and tries to stay active the

best he can. Always handy, he often worked with wood and tools. He made improvements to his house, built tables, cabinets and other smaller items. He started making figures and sculptures in his eighties. He was always active in his church, Christ Church Manhasset, volunteering weekly in the parish office up until recently. He is a

member of American Legion Post 304. He has marched in every Memorial Day parade since 1945. He has five grandchildren and six great grandchildren, with one more on the way. He maintains a good attitude and has a glass of red wine with every dinner. His advice for others is simple: “I would say,

keep your options open. You might grow up wanting to be a baseball player. As you grow older, you might say ‘that’s not for me, I want to be a doctor.’ Just keep your options open and work for whatever you have in mind at the time. You graduate from high school, go on to college, you learn an occupation, and enjoy life.”

Farmingdale High School Bus Crash Survivor I

Returns To Cohen Children’s

t’s been a difficult month for 15-yearold Audrina Crocitto, who survived the bus crash carrying members of the Farmingdale High School marching band on September 21st. But thanks to a specialized team of professionals and her determination to survive, Audrina was able to return to Cohen Children’s Medical Center today by walking unassisted with her loving family by her side. The crash injured dozens of students and killed the school’s band director, Gina Pellettiere, 43, and retired teacher Beatrice Ferrari, 77. Audrina, who only remembers the initial impact of the bus careening off the road, was severely injured from the accident. “Audrina was airlifted to us almost immediately,” said Shaun Rodgers, MD, the pediatric neurosurgeon who cared for Audrina. “X-rays and MRIs revealed the need for immediate L1 to L3 spinal fusion surgery; in simplest terms, titanium screws and rods were inserted to hold her spine together.” Following the three-hour surgery, Audrina remained in the hospital for a little over a week. Dr. Rodgers believes that she will enjoy a complete recovery and return to the great passions of her young life.

of their beloved teacher. “We know Mrs. P. would want us to keep trying to get better,” Audrina said, often fighting back tears. “I’m here today because of my friends and my family. I will get through this. I’m strong now.” After her mother handed green Daler high school T-shirts to the flight crew and Dr. Rodgers, Ms. Crocitto concluded by saying, “When you go through a trauma like this, your whole mindset changes. I realize now how many people love me. I’m so grateful to be here.” —Submitted by Cohen Children’s Medical Center

“Audrina serves as a member of the Farmingdale Fire Department’s junior brigade and will certainly be able to continue with her dream of becoming a full-time firefighter and EMT,” said Dr. Rodgers. One highlight of the reunion was a surprise visit from flight paramedic Amen Alhadi and flight nurse Michael Bosi, the SkyHealth team who airlifted Audrina to Cohen Children’s.

After exchanging comforting hugs, Mr. Bosi said: “It’s not often we get to meet one of the patients we’ve brought to the hospital. We’re so happy that you’re doing well and hopeful that you will continue with your dream of becoming an EMT.” “I’ve come a long way and there’s still a long way to go,” said Audrina, who said that she, along with others who were injured that night, continue to fight on in memory

(Cheers to that.) Revitalization grants are just one of the ways we help businesses on Long Island and in the Rockaways. For Moriches Field Brewing Company, a grant from our economic development program was a perfect fit to help them renovate a previously vacant property. A discount through our Vacant Space Revival Program saved them more than $4,000 on their electric bills, and rebates for upgrading to LED lighting are keeping them saving month after month. Helping revitalize our Island, one business at a time, is something we’re proud to be part of and something definitely worth celebrating.

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.

Happy 119th Anniversary NYC Subway System On October 27, 1904, the Interborough Rapid Transit company opened the first subway line in New York City. It traveled 9 miles from City Hall uptown on the eastside of Manhattan across 42nd Street (today’s 42nd Street Shuttle) to Times Square and proceeded uptown to 145th Street and included 28 stations. Over 150,000 riders paid a 5-cent fare on the first day of service. The original BMT (Brooklyn Manhattan Rapid Transit – today’s B,D,J,M, N,Q, R & Z lines) and IRT (Interboro Rapid Transit 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, Franklin Ave and Times Square shuttles) subway systems were constructed and managed by the private sector with no government operating subsidies. Financial viability was 100 percent dependent upon farebox revenues. They supported both development and economic growth of numerous neighborhoods in the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens. As part of the franchise agreement the owners had to sign, City Hall had direct control over the fare structure. For a period of time, owners actually make a profit with a five cent fare. After two decades passed, the costs of salaries, maintenance, power, supplies and equipment would pressure owners to ask City Hall for permission to raise the fares. This additional revenue was needed to maintain a good state of repair, increase the frequency of service, purchase new subway cars, pay employee salary increases and support planned system expansion. Politicians more interested in the next reelection (and subscribing to the old Roman philosophy of free bread and circuses) refused this request each year, for well over two decades. As a result, in order to survive owners of both systems began looking elsewhere to reduce costs and stay in business. They started curtailing basic maintenance, delayed purchases of new subway cars, postponed salary increases for employees, canceled any plans for system expansion and cut corners to survive. In the 1930s, NYC began building and financing construction of the new IND (Independent Subway – today’s A,C,E,F & G lines). This new municipal system subsidized by taxpayers dollars would provide direct competition to both the IRT and BMT.

No one would openly eat pizza, chicken or other messy foods while riding a bus or subway. There was no problem with homeless people riding or occupying subway stations.

bus. It eliminated the old two-fare zones, making public transportation an even better bargain. Purchasing a weekly or monthly subway/bus pass reduces the cost per ride and provides virtually unlimited trips. In many cases, employers can offer transit checks to help subsidizes a portion of the cost. Utilize this and reap the benefits. It supports a cleaner environment. In 2021, MTA NYC Transit completed introducing the next generation of fare collection. It is known as One Metro New York (OMNY). Installation of this new state of the art system.is now available to riders at all 471 subway stations. NYC Transit has a fleet of 6,500 subway cars with 471 stations serving 5.5 million pre-COVID-19 riders. Over 4 million daily riders have returned. Service is provided on 28 routes spanning four of five boroughs comprising NYC including Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan and Queens. Only the 500,000 residents of Staten Island have no direct subway connection to the rest of NYC. The largest subway system in the world has benefited since the 1960s by grant funding provided by the Federal Transit Administration. Of the $1.8 billion in annual FTA funding provided to the MTA, NYC Transit usually receives a minimum of 70percent or over $1.3 billion. These dollars pay for various capital improvement projects which benefit riders. Since the Urban Mass Transportation Act was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964, NYC Transit has received billions and billions of dollars in federal assistance from Washington. This is a great example of your tax dollars at work. Let us also give thanks to the thousands of hard working men and women who maintain and operate our NYC subway system. It is the lifeline that keeps the Big Apple moving day in and day out.

Leadership Void Hobbles School Bus Safety Program Rollout As our children continue their 2023-24 studies, so too does the daily jockeying to make sure they have a safe and reliable way to get to school every day. Many are driven to school; others walk; and the remainder rely upon school bus transportation. Regrettably, as it pertains to that latter form of transportation, many school buses serving our County currently lack a major safety tool – stop-arm cameras that ensure motorists who illegally pass buses are held accountable. As a cosponsor of the 2019 legislation that cleared the way for a stop-arm camera program here in Nassau County, I am frustrated by the laissez-faire approach the Blakeman administration has taken to getting school districts to sign up for a program that is expressly designed to promote public safety and protect our children. What makes it especially disappointing is that school districts like Jericho – which have cameras installed on all its buses – can’t use this potentially life-saving technology until the Town and the vendor sign a contract. After the administration of former County Executive Laura

Data from neighboring Suffolk’s countywide stop-arm camera program show that this uniform, countywide approach is working.

3D printing technology has been making strides in producing customized implants, prosthetics, and even drugs. Printing technology will eventually be a standard practice in mainstream medicine, allowing for patient-specific treatments.

Research into the biology of aging and regenerative medicine is leading to breakthroughs that slow down the aging process, enhance tissue regeneration, and extend human lifespan.

Neurological Advancements Progress in understanding and treating neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, are leading to disease-modifying treatments that are increasingly more effective each year.

These are speculative advancements, and the actual path and progress in mainstream medicine will vary as more research is tested and validated. The field of medicine is continuously evolving, with new discoveries and breakthroughs occurring regularly. To get the most accurate and up-to-date information on the latest advances in mainstream medicine, it is essential to refer to current medical journals, news sources, and healthcare professionals.

Alzheimer’s Myths BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating and complex neurodegenerative condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While significant progress has been made in understanding the disease, there are still many misconceptions and myths about Alzheimer’s. Here are five common myths about Alzheimer’s disease debunked.

There has been a long-standing belief that exposure to aluminum, such as through cooking with aluminum cookware or consuming antacids containing aluminum, can cause Alzheimer’s disease. Extensive research has not established a clear link between aluminum and Alzheimer’s. The exact cause of the disease remains an active area of investigation, but it is likely due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.

Myth 1

Myth 4

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Alzheimer’s only affects the elderly One prevalent myth is that Alzheimer’s exclusively affects older individuals. While the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease increases with age, it can occur in people under the age of 65, a condition referred to as early-onset Alzheimer’s. Early-onset Alzheimer’s can manifest in individuals in their 40s and 50s, although it is less common. Age is a significant risk factor, but Alzheimer’s is not limited to the elderly.

Myth 2

Alzheimer’s is a natural part of aging Another misconception is that memory decline and cognitive impairment are

a natural part of aging. While it’s true that cognitive abilities can change with age, Alzheimer’s is not a typical part of the aging process. It is a specific and progressive brain disorder with distinct pathological features. Not all older adults will develop Alzheimer’s, and many seniors maintain their cognitive function well into their golden years.

Myth 3

Alzheimer’s is caused by aluminum

Memory loss equals Alzheimer’s Memory loss is a hallmark symptom of Alzheimer’s disease, but it is essential to recognize that occasional forgetfulness does not equate to having Alzheimer’s. Memory lapses can be a part of normal aging, and they can also result from various factors such as stress, sleep disturbances, or medication side effects. Alzheimer’s is diagnosed based on a combination of cognitive decline, functional impairment, and specific changes in the brain, not just memory loss.

Myth 5

There is a cure for Alzheimer’s While significant advancements have been

made in Alzheimer’s research and treatment, there is currently no cure for the disease. Many treatments aim to manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease, but none can completely stop or reverse it. This is a source of frustration for patients and their families, as well as for researchers and healthcare professionals. The search for a cure is ongoing, and numerous clinical trials are exploring potential therapies, but as of now, no definitive cure exists. It is crucial to dispel these myths and promote accurate information about Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding the true nature of the condition can help reduce stigma, increase awareness, and encourage individuals to seek medical advice and support at the earliest signs of cognitive decline. Alzheimer’s is a complex and multifaceted condition that affects not only the person diagnosed but also their caregivers and loved ones. Raising awareness and dispelling misconceptions can lead to a more compassionate and informed society that supports those impacted by Alzheimer’s.

It’s That Time Again: Seasonal Affective Disorder specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

easonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs in a seasonal pattern, typically during the fall and winter months. It is often colloquially referred to as “winter blues” or “winter depression.” This condition can have a significant impact on an individual’s mental and emotional well-being.

Symptoms

SAD is characterized by a range of symptoms that are similar to those of major depressive disorder. Common symptoms include: Low Mood: Individuals with SAD often experience persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and irritability. Fatigue: A marked increase in fatigue and a lack of energy are typical during the winter months. Overeating and Weight Gain: SAD is often associated with carbohydrate cravings and overeating, which can lead to weight gain. Oversleeping: Excessive sleep and difficulty waking up in the morning are typical symptoms. SAD sufferers may also

2024

experience a tendency to nap during the day. Loss of Interest: People with SAD may lose interest in activities they once enjoyed, withdraw from social interactions, and experience a sense of isolation. Difficulty Concentrating: Decreased concentration and difficulty making decisions can also be part of SAD.

Causes

The exact causes of SAD are not entirely understood, but several factors may contribute to its development: Biological Clock (Circadian Rhythm): Reduced exposure to natural light during the winter months can disrupt the body’s internal biological clock. This disruption can affect sleep patterns, mood, and hormone regulation. Serotonin Levels: A drop in serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, is believed to play a role in SAD. Reduced sunlight exposure can lead to decreased serotonin production. Melatonin Levels: Changes in the duration and intensity of sunlight can also affect melatonin production, leading to increased sleepiness and a disrupted sleep-wake cycle. Genetics: Family history may be a factor

in SAD, as it tends to run in families. Vitamin D Deficiency: Reduced exposure to sunlight during the winter can lead to lower levels of vitamin D, which is linked to mood regulation.

Treatment Options

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a treatable condition, and several options are available to manage its symptoms: Light Therapy: Light therapy, or phototherapy, is a common and effective treatment for SAD. It involves sitting in front of a lightbox that emits bright, full-spectrum light, typically for 20-60 minutes each morning. This light exposure helps regulate the body’s internal clock and improve mood. Medications: Antidepressant medications, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), can be prescribed to manage SAD symptoms. These medications can help regulate serotonin levels in the brain. Psychotherapy: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that can help identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. Lifestyle Modifications: Engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining

Getty Images

a balanced diet, and getting outdoors during daylight hours can help alleviate SAD symptoms. Vitamin D: In cases of vitamin D deficiency, supplements may be recommended to address this nutritional shortfall. Dawn Simulators: These devices gradually increase the intensity of light in the morning, simulating a natural sunrise and helping individuals wake up more gently. It’s important to note that the effectiveness of these treatments may vary from person to person, and a combination of therapies may be necessary to manage SAD effectively.

Take A Look: Castor Oil

astor oil is a versatile and time-tested natural remedy that offers a wide range of benefits for health, beauty and wellness. Derived from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, castor oil has been used for centuries in various cultures for its therapeutic properties. Take a look at the numberous advantages of castor oil, including how to use it effectively.

Hair Care

Castor oil is renowned for its hair-enhancing properties. It is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E, which promote hair growth, strengthen hair strands, and reduce split ends. Massaging castor oil into your scalp can improve blood circulation and stimulate hair follicles, leading to thicker and healthier hair. To stimulate hair growth, mix castor oil with a lighter oil (such as coconut or almond oil) and massage it into your scalp. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes or overnight before washing your hair.

Skin Health

Castor oil is an excellent moisturizer and can help alleviate dry skin conditions. Its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties make it effective in treating acne and other skin issues. The oil can also be used to reduce the appearance of scars,

stretch marks, and fine lines, giving your skin a more youthful appearance. For skin concerns, apply a small amount of castor oil to the affected area and gently massage it in. For acne-prone skin, use a cotton swab to apply a tiny amount directly to blemishes.

Moisturizing Lips

Laxative Effect

Eye Health

Dry and chapped lips can benefit from the application of castor oil. Its thick consistency forms a protective barrier, preventing moisture loss and leaving your lips soft and hydrated. Apply a small amount of castor oil to dry lips. Castor oil can be used to soothe dry and tired eyes. A drop or two of castor oil in each eye before bedtime can help relieve dryness and irritation, making it a popular home remedy for conditions like dry eye syndrome. Use it as an eye drop for dry eyes before bedtime.

Castor oil is widely used as a natural laxative. When ingested, it stimulates the intestines, promoting bowel movements and relieving constipation. However, it should be used sparingly for this purpose and under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as excessive consumption can lead to diarrhea and dehydration. If using castor oil as a laxative, take it in the recommended dosage, usually one to two teaspoons for adults. It is best taken on an empty stomach and should produce a bowel movement within a few hours.

Anti-Aging

Pain Relief

The anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of castor oil make it useful for relieving muscle and joint pain. It can be applied topically to reduce inflammation and ease discomfort in conditions such as arthritis or sore muscles. To relieve muscle or joint pain, apply castor oil to the affected area and cover it with a warm compress for 30 to 60 minutes.

Getty Images

Antifungal and Antimicrobial

Castor oil has natural antifungal and antimicrobial properties, making it effective in treating fungal infections like athlete’s foot and ringworm. It can also help prevent the growth of bacteria on the skin.

The antioxidant properties of castor oil, along with its ability to promote collagen production, make it an effective anti-aging treatment. Regular use can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Castor oil offers a multitude of benefits for both health and beauty. It is essential to use it in moderation and consult a healthcare professional when using it for internal purposes. When applied correctly, castor oil can be a valuable addition to your natural health and beauty routine, helping you achieve healthier hair, skin, and overall well-being.

Governor Hochul Announces Round One Of Regional School Food Grant Program

overnor Kathy Hochul recently announced that $10 million is available through Round 1 of New York’s Regional School Food Infrastructure Grant Program. The program will support projects in New York schools that improve meal preparation and distribution for Kindergarten through Grade 12 students. First announced in the Governor’s 2023 State of the State, the program will provide $50 million over five years to eligible applicants to facilitate the on-site processing and preparation of fresh, nutritious meals, increase the use of more healthy, local New York food products, and provide a boost to New York farmers. “Through our Farm-to-School program and our 30 percent New York State Initiative for schools, we have made huge strides in bringing our farmers and our schools together, making lasting connections to purchase more local foods for school meals than ever before,” Governor Hochul said. “This Regional School Food Infrastructure Grant Program will build on the success of these programs and provide the much-needed support to help schools cook delicious meals for our young people. Providing healthy, balanced meals equals better learning for students statewide and supports our agricultural community at the same time.” Administered by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, the Regional School Food Infrastructure Grant Program will provide the resources schools need to aggregate, store, process, and prepare farm products, and make it possible to cook fresh, nutritious, scratch made meals for school children. It will also encourage workforce development by providing training to schools, communities, and students for culinary arts, food processing, safe food handling and storage, logistics, delivery, and more, based on community need. Project proposals should be regionally focused on improving meal preparation for K-12 school children, reducing food insecurity, increasing market opportunities for New York State producers, and strengthening the resilience of our state’s food system. The program requires that funded facilities serve multiple school districts and support their local community, including by providing workforce development opportunities. In this round of funding, two regions will be awarded $5 million each. Two additional regions will be awarded $5 million each in subsequent rounds, until all regions are awarded.

Grant funds are available for the costs of capital projects to support the preparation and distribution of fresh meals for regional school infrastructure, such as aggregation, storage hubs, and/or commissary-type kitchens. Eligible applicants include not-forprofit organizations, local municipalities, school districts, and Boards of Cooperative Education Services (BOCES). Proposals are due on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, at 3:00 pm. Additionally, an optional webinar will be held on November 29, 2023, at 12:00 pm. The workshop will be recorded and posted on the Department’s website. These initiatives build on New York’s many programs to support local foods in schools, including the successful Farm-toSchool program, which connects schools with local farms and food producers to strengthen local agriculture, improve student health, and promote regional food systems awareness. Through the program, the Department of Agriculture and Markets provides financial, technical, and promotional assistance to schools, farms, distributors, and other supporting organizations to bring more local, nutritious, seasonally varied meals to New York students. The Farm-to-School program supports the New York State Council on Hunger and Food Policy’s priorities to initiate and facilitate public awareness campaigns about the economic benefits of a local farm and food economy; alleviate geographic and economic barriers to improve access to healthy fresh food; and promote well-balanced child nutrition. —Submitted by the office of Governor Kathy Hochul

According to Oceana, an international advocacy organization focused on ocean conservation, the olive sea snake is the most common sea snake along the northern coast of Australia and nearby island groups. Like all reptiles, olive sea snakes breathe air, but unlike other marine reptiles, their entire life cycle occurs in the ocean. They grow to lengths of over six feet.

New York Blood Center Will Welcome Newly Eligible LGBTQIA+ Donors As Region Experiences Blood Emergency N individual donor assessment. This follows the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) final guidance establishing a blood donor screening process based on Individual Donor Assessment, not sexual or gender identity. Interested individuals can find detailed information regarding these changes at nybc.org/ida. In preparation for this change, New York Blood Center has completed the adoption of the donor history questionnaire, updated and validated computer systems regulated by the FDA, trained staff, and updated operational procedures. “For decades, we have strongly advocated for scientifically-based changes to the FDA policies regarding gay and bisexual men and this recent decision by the FDA is a huge step toward making blood donation more inclusive,” said Andrea Cefarelli, Senior Vice President at New York Blood Center. “We look forward to welcoming these new donors to our centers and blood drives, especially during a national blood emergency and following a tough summer with low donor turnout. We’re currently experiencing a blood emergency and both

new and regular donors are desperately needed.” All U.S. blood centers are regulated by the FDA and must adhere to their donor eligibility policies. In 1983, the FDA instituted a lifetime deferral on blood donations for gay and bisexual men in order to reduce the chance of HIV in the blood supply at a time when testing was limited or non-existent. In 2015, the FDA revised this policy and moved to a 12-month deferral for men who have sex with men in response to comprehensive testing capabilities and data demonstrating safety in shortened deferral. This policy was revised again in 2020 to the current 3-month deferral. The change is based on data from the “Assessing Donor Variability And New Concepts in Eligibility” (ADVANCE) Study, which sought to determine if different eligibility criteria could be used focusing on each donor’s individual risk behavior rather than their sexual orientation. The updated criteria reflects the scientific data gathered as part of the ADVANCE Study. About New York Blood Center: Founded in 1964, New York Blood Center (NYBC) is

a nonprofit organization that is one of the largest independent, community-based blood centers in the world. NYBC, along with its operating divisions Community Blood Center of Kansas City, Missouri (CBC), Innovative Blood Resources (IBR), Blood Bank of Delmarva (BBD), and Rhode Island Blood Center (RIBC), collect approximately 4,000 units of blood products each day and serve local communities of more than 75 million people in the Tri-State area (NY, NJ, CT), Mid Atlantic area (PA, DE, MD, VA), Missouri and Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Southern New England. NYBC and its operating divisions also provide a wide array of transfusion-related medical services to over 500 hospitals nationally, including Comprehensive Cell Solutions, the National Center for Blood Group Genomics, the National Cord Blood Program, and the Lindsley F.

Legislature Passes No-Tax Increase Budget On October 30th, the Nassau County Legislature unanimously passed the 2024 Nassau County budget, which contains zero increase in taxes. The zero-tax increase budget is a result of the solid fiscal management policies put into practice by the Legislative Majority and County Executive Bruce Blakeman that has also led to Nassau’s economic condition being in the best shape in years. Proof of that

comes from a recent financial report from the State Comptroller’s Office that placed Nassau County among the top-ranked fiscally sound counties throughout New York State for the second year in a row. Previously, the County’s bond ratings were upgraded to their highest levels since 2005 by two of Wall Street’s leading credit agencies. The 2024 budget also contained an amendment proposed by the Legislative

Majority which adds funding for more police officers and assistant district attorneys, without impacting the no-tax increase budget. These new officers and attorneys will increase public safety and address the demands created by the State’s disastrous cashless bail and discovery laws that favor criminals and allow them to return to the streets with no punishment or fear of committing more crimes.

For the last 14 years, the Republican Legislative Majority not only hasn’t raised property taxes in 14 consecutive years but eliminated $70 million from the previous administration’s 2022 budget as well as planned tax increases for 2023, 2024, and 2025, resulting in a property tax cut of $200 million, which will be carried through 2027. —Submitted by the Nassau County Legislature

ARIES (March 21-April 19). This week represents a breakthrough in your mental game. You’ll find that you don’t always identify with what runs through your mind. Thoughts are just thoughts. When you sense that a thought isn’t useful, try adding a disclaimer to the end of it. “I’m feeling anxious... but I can also think of ways things could go well.”

Solution: 12 Letters

WORD FIND

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Remember your original intentions. The week throws distractions your way, and it’s easy to get caught up in the other things there are to want. Until you get back to that one thing you started with, you won’t be truly fulfilled. Let your deeper reasons fuel you to be of service and you’ll do the work you were meant to do.

Rugby League greats Solution: 12 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Stress can be paralyzing, or it can be the necessary push to try something different. Stress can deliver the extra energy needed to do something hard. You’ll accept that some amount of stress will help you. You’ll find that sweet spot where it’s not too much. And you’ll use the energy boost to leap over an obstacle. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re conscious that an activity is undermining your goal, though you still may feel compelled to do it. Awareness has stages. What else can you observe about the behavior, such as triggers, environments or people involved? Can you make a plan anyway? Wherever you are in the process at the start of the week, it will improve by the weekend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You see and appreciate so much in others but forget to turn that love back on yourself. Acknowledge your strengths. Embracing the attitudes, habits and characteristics that make you so wonderfully you is a path to self-love and thriving. Could you turn it into a practice? It will dissipate your worries and allow you to shine. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some days roll out like a Bubble Wrap of tasks you can pinch off with orderly satisfaction. But this week is more like Styrofoam packing peanuts -- messy and weird to clean up, though you may be grateful about how nothing is broken, and the tasks are light, if sometimes staticky. Everything gets handled. All stays intact. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some people don’t have a clue how to let loose and have a good time. It’s an easier thing to do in an environment that’s comfortable. You’ll make people comfortable with your warmth and ability to see and be the fun. You will save the party this way -- and save the meeting/ date/otherwise boring routine as well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s not always about keeping your eye on the prize. The feeling of the work, your breath and getting the “form” right are all important as well. Whether your performance has to do with making a sale, teaching a class or crossing the finish line of a race, the more connected to the moment you are, the better you’ll perform. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve been cheering the team and taking pictures. This week, you’ll step out of the sidelines and into those pictures, taking to heart the cheers of others. Being part of the action, for however long it lasts, enriches your powers of observation in perpetuity, and your joy in equal measure. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A new cycle will begin, but first, the universe is waiting for you to signal the start. You’ll initiate this time around the track, not with a sound or a flag but with an act of intent. Cut your hair, buy a new power tool, give old clothes away. The universe awaits your green light.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You measure success by different standards. This will have a lot to do with what you need from relationships and how they fit into your life. You’ll come to a place of deep self-fulfillment, so what others add will be like the sprinkles on top -- the delight of new experiences, challenges to keep the adventure interesting, and a constant flow of warmth, inclusion and activity that keeps you engaged and contributing. More highlights: a financial breakthrough, a graduation and foreign travel. COPYRIGHT 2023 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re getting into the energy of having what you want. This should be the fun part. It’s the college visit, the test drive, the appetizer platter giving you a taste of what’s to come even though, in a sense, you’re already there. Make your dreams happen in a small way and the big way will be next.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). On your way to an achievement, you hold yourself accountable, but don’t punish yourself. Allow for the wavering that is human and natural in any process. As you cheer yourself on, you’re looking for movement in a particular direction, not perfection. Anything that’s more of what you want counts toward the goal.

NORTH ♠4 ♥8 6 3 2 ♦AKQ ♣K J 9 5 4 WEST EAST ♠Q8762 ♠AKJ9 ♥7 5 ♥ K J 10 9 4 ♦73 ♦J984 ♣ 10 8 6 2 ♣— SOUTH ♠ 10 5 3 ♥A Q ♦ 10 6 5 2 ♣A Q 7 3 The bidding: South West North East 1♣ Pass 1♦ 2♣ 2♦ 2♠ 3♥ Dble 4♥ Pass 5♣ 5♠ Pass Pass 6♣ Pass Pass Dble Opening lead — six of spades. This deal was played in the 1930’s, which accounts for some of the bids that led to six clubs doubled. The declarer was Waldemar von Zedtwitz, whose name was closely associated with every facet of contract bridge from the time the game was invented in 1926. West led a spade to East’s king,

and East returned the jack of hearts. Von Zedtwitz finessed the queen and led the three of clubs. When West followed with the deuce, von Zedtwitz played dummy’s four! After the club finesse succeeded, as seemed likely from the bidding, declarer had smooth sailing. He cashed the ace of hearts, led a diamond to dummy, ruffed a heart with the club queen, led the seven of clubs to dummy’s nine, ruffed dummy’s last heart with the ace and trumped a spade in dummy. The K-J of clubs drew West’s two remaining trumps, and the A-K of diamonds won the last two tricks to give von Zedtwitz a score of 1,090 points. Subsequent analysis showed that the slam could not have been made without the deep trump finesse at trick three. Finessing the four of clubs was by no means just a fancy play — it was absolutely essential. West could have thrown a spanner into the works by playing the six of clubs at trick three instead of the deuce, but this does not diminish the luster of von Zedtwitz’s play once he got the chance to finesse the four. Taking advantage of defensive slips is an important part of the game.

CRIME & SAFETY

Be Safety Conscious In School Zones And At Bus Stops Turning back the clock means that students are waiting for their morning school bus in the dark. As a result, even greater caution is needed. Students need to be careful when entering the “school bus danger zone” –10 feet in front, behind or on either side of the bus. Motorists need to be alert and always stop for a school bus when flashing lights are illuminated. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration provides the following safety tips: For Students: Stand at least six feet (three giant steps) from the approaching school bus while waiting at the bus stop. Wait to board the bus until the driver says it is safe. When getting off of the bus, cross the street in front of the bus and make sure the bus driver sees you. Always watch for oncoming traffic when approaching or leaving the bus. For Drivers: When driving in neighborhoods with bus stops, schools and school zones, watch out for children walking or bicycling to school. Slow down. Look for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood. Remember, children do not easily estimate

Claudia Liebrecht

Claudia Liebrecht passed away peacefully at her home in Scottsdale, Arizona on Saturday, September 9, 2023. Her last week was filled with family and friends and a dinner party of camaraderie. Claudia was raised in New York, lived for years in Edina, Minnesota (where she was also known as Claudia Hollenbeck), and retired in Scottsdale, Arizona. Claudia attended Duke University and soon after became a renowned educator at Manhasset High School in New York and later at Saint Paul Academy in Minnesota. She was a caring and dedicated educator who brought history to life through her storytelling – quickly becoming known as “the most popular teacher.” Claudia instilled this passion within her family and taught them countless lessons about history, politics and the world around them. Claudia went on to earn an MBA, leaving teaching for new opportunities. She held successful careers at Honeywell, the Minnesota Trade Office and Children’s HeartLink, a charity that trains pediatric surgeons to help children and youth in underserved nations. Claudia brought with her this spirit of giving as she moved to Scottsdale, where she continued to serve children’s charities. When histories are written about the role of pioneering women in the workplace, hers should not be forgotten. Claudia traveled with interest for both work and pleasure throughout her life visiting African nations, China and countries throughout Europe. She toured with friends and family and recently inspired two granddaughters to retrace her footsteps at Ephesus, a renowned historic site in modern-day Turkey. Claudia is survived by her son Jeffrey Leverich, and her daughter Dia Hollenbeck Minkow. Her grandchildren include Gila and Emma (the children of Dia Hollenbeck Minkow and Andrew Minkow); Madison, Callie, and Isabel (the children of Jeffrey Leverich and Leigh Ellen Caro-Leverich) - and her great granddaughter Hazel, the daughter of Callie Caro-Leverich and Jeff Goldmintz, whom she lovingly met. Throughout her life, Claudia was blessed by the love and support of the Leverich family who took her in after the loss of her young husband, Walden Leverich. She was equally blessed by the love of her sister Suzanne Joyce and her four children who adored their aunt for the intelligence and humor and kindness that she brought into their lives. Claudia’s adventurous spirit, admirable independence and efforts to make the world a better place will always be an inspiration for her family. A Celebration of Life will be planned for a later date in Long Island, NY.

Lacrosse ALS Fundraiser In

n October 29th on Ed Walsh Field at the Manhasset High School Stadium, the 6th and 8th grade Manhasset PAL Girls Lacrosse teams “Faced Off Against ALS” in remembrance of ALS victim Anthony Francis Bascone. Anthony’s daughter Laila is a member of the 8th grade team and his daughter Serayna is a member

of the 6th grade team. Each grade held a spirited intrasquad game. The games were followed by pizza for the girls, their families and friends. All participants received a commemorative T shirt. A lifelong Manhasset resident, Anthony Bascone played lacrosse throughout

secondary school and later at Guilford College. His commitment to the sport went beyond the field through his involvement with City-Lax, a New York City non-profit organization that brings lacrosse to public high schools in NYC. As a NYC public high school teacher and adjunct professor at Nassau Community College, he understood

the importance of participation in athletics for a student’s physical, social and emotional development. Anthony was the varsity head coach of boys lacrosse at Stuyvesant High School for seven years. In 2012 he proudly led the Stuy Peglegs to the New York City public high school semifinals. Anthony and his wife, Valentina, who is

Honor Of Resident A Success also a Manhasset native, instilled a love of lacrosse in their two daughters at an early age. Encouraging but never pressuring, Anthony helped them develop their own passions for lacrosse which continues today. In October 2020, Anthony was diagnosed with ALS. With perseverance and strength,

he continued biking and walking to maintain his physical strength and ability. As his condition worsened, Anthony’s never wavering drive was centered on his family. He attended all his daughters’ events, being present at their lacrosse games and tournaments, school events and other important milestones. Even during the last

two years while his condition deteriorated, he continued to be his daughters’ biggest fan and supporter. The rain didn’t stop the game and the girls played in the rain like it was a sunny day, gave it their all and had a blast. They were proud to honor and remember Anthony, his love for his wife and daughters

The games went on in the rain.

TOWN NEWS

Love On A Leash- Adopt A Town Of North Hempstead Shelter Pet Willie Willie is a 1-year-old black lab mix that came from an overcrowded shelter in Georgia through a rescue program. Willie has a typical lab personality: goofy, fun loving, and affectionate. Unfortunately, whoever was Willie’s previous owner did not do much training with him. He needs a family to continue teaching his commands as well as teaching him that not everyone wants to be jumped on for a hug. Willie gets along with everyone he meets, dogs and humans alike, and would make a great companion to any household that is dedicated to keep working with him.

Town Hosts Annual Senior Halloween Dances Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena, along with Councilmembers Peter Zuckerman, Dennis Walsh, Veronica Lurvey and Town Clerk Ragini Srivastava and Receiver of Taxes Charles Berman celebrated the spooky holiday at the Town’s annual senior Halloween Dances. Festivities were held at Fuschillo Park and Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park on Oct. 20 and 27. Hundreds of senior residents dressed up in costumes and celebrated Halloween with food, music, and games. (Information and photos from the Town of North Hempstead)

Gypsy Gypsy is a 3-year-old Cane Corso that came to the shelter as a stray. Gypsy is a typical Cane Corso. She can be wary and shy around new people but once she warms up she is quite snuggly. She has been enjoying the shelter’s nature trail while walking nicely on a leash and gets along well with other well-mannered dogs. Gypsy would thrive in a less busy household with large breed/ mastiff experience with no young children. With a little patience and a lot of love you will have a loving companion for life. Chance Chance is a 1-1/2-year-old, 35-pound Mini Labradoodle looking for a high energy household that can keep up with him. This boy is smart as a whip- he knows many commands and is very treat motivated- he will work for treats. He enjoys short sessions

He would make a great walking and jogging partner. Due to some information from the previous owners, we are not recommending Chance to live with small children and will require an active household with some dog experience.

Those were difficult and delicate things to write (Photo by Richard Sibbald) about and I had to be faithful to the truth, but at the same time, faithful to his memory. And not to expose something that I felt he wouldn’t be happy seeing in print. So that was a tough job.” With the public ready to devour his memoir, Lee is embarking on a 13-city book tour that will feature the 70-year-old multi-instrumentalist reading passages from the book, sharing stories, getting joined on stage by different guest interviewers and taking questions from the audience. Having done a version of this during the Book of Bass born Gary Lee Weinrib whose life journey promotional cycle, Lee wanted more of the began in suburban Ontario as the son of same with a twist.

n his 2006 autobiography Let Me Finish, storied baseball writer Roger Angell wrote, “Life is tough and brimming with loss, and the most we can do about it is to glimpse ourselves clear now and then, and find out what we feel about familiar scenes and recurring faces this time around.” So it goes with Geddy Lee, whose newly released memoir, My Effin’ Life, is just hitting book shelves. Best known as the Grammy-nominated, bass-playing founding member of power trio Rush, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is admittedly someone far more comfortable looking forward rather than gazing into the past. But it was out of loss that prompted the native Canadian to reconsider this position. “First of all, I had just lost my dear friend and bandmate of many, many years—Neil Peart,” he explained. “So that put me in a sad and reflective mood. I was also just locked down in our first pandemic lockdown in Toronto and was kind of alone with my thoughts and doing my own grief work. At the same time, I had noticed that my mother was slipping farther and farther into dementia and it was very clear to me that she was losing her memory. Those two things combined got me thinking about how tenuous the grip we have on our gray cells is and maybe it’s an idea for me to start putting them down on paper. So to make a rather long story short, the solitude of the pandemic lockdown gave me the opportunity to go down that road.” Having already published the 2018 coffee table book, Geddy Lee’s Big Beautiful Book of Bass, Lee was already familiar with and

fond of the writing process (“it was a nice change of pace from my day job of wrestling with notes”), Lee spent two years hammering out what was initially a 1,200-page manuscript. “I started writing in bits because it all started out as a challenge from Daniel Richler, who had co-written my first book,” Lee recalled. “He lives in London, so we were trying to keep ourselves from getting bored by talking on the phone quite often or doing Zoom calls. He sent me some very short stories he had written about some memories he had of his dad. His father was the great Canadian author Mordechai Richler, so he had a rich wealth of memories he was putting down on paper. He’d send me a story and then he’d challenge me to write him back a short story about a memory I had about my dad. I did that and over that first lockdown summer, he started noticing that my responses were getting longer than his and he said, ‘I think you’re writing a book.’ I told him I’d write this book, but he had to help me and of course, he was happy to do so.” The result is a touching and often humorous narrative that traced the life of the man
