TOP STORY

Floral Park Public Library enters its second century of service For example, Eren said, “In April, we had a little celebration that we held at the library, sort of like a little cocktail party, with hors d’oeuvres and with cocktail glasses for attendees to take home. We celebrated friends of the library, members jburns@antonmediagroup.com of the Friends of the Floral Park Library, and different associations n 2023, the Floral Park Public Library has been celebrating its throughout the town that support the library.

As libraries transform more and more into community centers, we are very much on board with that.”

“Going forward, I hope in the next 100 years the library continues to transform and change with the times,” Eren noted.

“A library is such an incredible asset in any community, so much more than books. i “As the times change, who knows what we’ll be 50 and 75 years from now. I hope the library will continue to grow and morph and provide, and be a safe place for people, a learning place for people.”

With a soft chuckle, Eren added, “I used to say this all the time when I started, and I think it’s true now more than ever, but a library is almost like [the premise in] that old show Cheers: a place where everyone knows your name. I feel like a library is a welcoming place and should help you find what you’re looking for.”

“A library is such an asset to a community, and I do believe Floral Park Library is that.”

Long Island Breast Health Charity Gala Raises Over $340,000 Over 300 supporters gathered at The Garden City Hotel in recognition of breast cancer awareness month at The Maurer Foundation’s annual Pink Diamond Gala on Friday, Oct. 13, which raised over a staggering $340,000 to support breast health education programs across Long Island and the five NYC boroughs. This year’s event honored David Marino, Group President and COO of American Global, which also served as the Event Sponsor for the evening.

Marino remarked, “It was a terrific evening, made possible by the hard work of many.

I am grateful for the generosity of clients, partners, colleagues, friends, and family, who helped make the event a financial success to ensure that The Maurer Foundation can continue its important mission.”

The Gala was a resounding success from beginning to end, with founder Dr. Virginia Maurer stating, “Every month should be breast cancer awareness month.”

Guests were introduced to Molloy nursing student Susan Donohue, a former Maurer high school program attendee, who was instrumental in reaching many more Molloy nursing students. An especially touching moment of the evening occurred when Kristina Marino, daughter of the evening’s Honoree, introduced her father and shared her family’s own breast cancer journey.

Susan Samaroo, Executive Director of The Maurer Foundation, expressed gratitude to

Environmental Advisory Board Student Members Help With Recycling Education

On October 18th, the Environmental Advisory Board (“EAB”) welcomed new student members Simone Oustatcher and Maeve Smith, officers in the GCHS HOPE club, who joined science research students Niamh Pfaff and Roisin Pfaff. Simone and Maeve will share the third student member seat on the Environmental Advisory Board for 2023-2024 school year, each serving for one semester. The EAB and its co-chairs, Mayor Mary Carter Flanagan and Trustee Michele Beach Harrington, recognize the benefit of having this connection with students in the high school who bring an important perspective to the meetings, focus on research projects that can benefit the Village, and collaborate on community

outreach efforts on environmental issues.

At the October 18th meeting, the students joined in the EAB’s Recycling Education Campaign when they offered to bring the new Village Recycling Stickers to the high school to distribute them through the HOPE Club and science classes. The new stickers are for the inside rim of residents’ recycling bins and serve as an important reminder of what goes in the green recycling bins.

Improving how residents sort recycling and making sure only the correct items go into the green bin is critical to the success of our recycling program. The stickers are available for all residents who would like them at Village Hall.

CO Family of Services, a leading provider of essential human services for more than 125 years, raised over $480,000 at their Treiber Memorial Golf Outing in October. Funds raised at the annual event will help SCO provide vital services for more than 50,000 children, teens, families and adults each year across New York City and Long Island.

SCO honored Thomas Rudzewick, president and CEO of Maspeth Federal Savings, with the Corporate Leadership Award.

Donna Drake, host & executive producer of the Donna Drake Show and founder and president of Drake Media Studios, received the Humanitarian Award. Emily Tyree, Executive Director of Clarke Gillies Foundation, hosted the evening program.

The event took place at two of the area’s premier golf clubs, The Creek Club in Locust Valley and Meadow Brook Club in Jericho. Golf was followed by a dinner program that featured an award presentation to the honorees and an inspiring speech by RaShaan, a young adult in SCO’s foster care program.

Woman Of Distinction: Disability Opportunity Fund Hosts 15th Annual Garden City Native Honored Stride Conference “It has been said that behind every good man is a great woman... This is only partly true. Women are behind no one.”

These words were spoken by Senator Steve Rhoads at the annual Women of Distinction ceremony, hosted this year by the Plainview Library. The ceremony, now in its 25th year, celebrates the trailblazing women of our community for all they have achieved.

This year, Garden City’s own Mary Carman was honored. Mary has dedicated her life to building up the people and communities around her. For twelve years, she worked for the Nassau County Probation Department. After having her three children, Mary retired and dedicated herself to volunteer for a plethora of organizations.

She spread joy and empowered young girls through her work as a Girl Scout leader and service team member for the Garden City Girl Scout Council.

In 2008, she re-entered the workforce as a paralegal, working closely with clients on probate matters, estate administration and real estate transactions. When she isn’t juggling the day-to-day tasks of the firm or

On October 23, the Disability Opportunity Fund hosted its annual Stride Conference at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City. Long Island resident Shalom Maidenbaum, a longtime supporter of helping disabled citizens have more access to equal opportunities, donated a total of $100,000 at the event, $25,000 of which went directly to the DOF, and the other $75,000 was donated in $5,000 increments to 15 additional organizations supported by the Disability Opportunity Fund.

Moriches Field Brewing Company received $18,750 to revitalize an empty downtown space.

(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.

Also in attendance were the Mad Hatter, a regular witch, a wench, a lumberjack and three hole punch Frank. A blank webpage/technical issue may have also made an appearance. The delicious lunch included chicken wings, salad, pizza and spooky-themed treats. Tarot readings were provided by the Roman citizen, to the delight and amazement of all.

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.

and law. That generation of riders did not litter subway stations and buses leaving behind gum, candy wrappers, paper cups, bottles and newspapers. 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.

Data from neighboring Suffolk’s countywide stop-arm camera program show that this uniform, countywide approach is working. In its first year of full implementation in 2021, Suffolk County’s program issued more than 118,000 tickets.

The next year, the number of tickets dropped by 40 percent, according to data. Experts say that’s because the 16th District vast number of first-time offenders learn their lesson and don’t do it Curran correctly spearheaded the program – the rollout of which was again.

he future of home décor is here, where creativity knows no bounds and innovation redefines the very essence of living spaces. Here’s a sneak peek into 2024 home decor trends that will elevate your interior design game.

Decor in ’24 features the eclectic, personalized, and is bringing strong focus on nature and environment.

“Harken, the emerging, modernized, throwback to the ’70s in colors, art, furniture, presence of nature, far out.”

The thought is to create spaces that trigger happiness and delight...

Bold, vibrant colors, soft shimmery pastels, metallics, whimsical patterns blending textures, and playful elements take the spotlight.

The trends are immensely appealing and comforting, because they tap into the most fundamental of human desires. Joy, socializing, and positivity. Feelings that are celebratory, inviting with personalized touches.

Wellness, ergonomics, AI technology, and rooms touched by nature’s beauty like houseplants all play into the above, think air quality and ambiance.

Get your green thumbs ready...

Influences of the times, people working hybrid or full time from home, and a greater awareness of the planet’s changes, are all present in 2024.

Don’t fret, the trends are welcomed into even the most minimalist homes, the transitional, those of elegance and grandeur.

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

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

S

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

C

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

G

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.

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. And they are adapted to life on coral reefs. They have a flattened, paddle-like tail and a large lung that allows it to go hours between breaths at the surface.

Olive snakes are also known to be curious, and often approach SCUBA divers inquisitively, especially at night. While they do rarely bite people, their bites have been known to be fatal. And their babies do not receive any parental care.

While they are not fished by humans, they are at risk of getting caught by fishers targeting other species.

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.

ew York Blood Center (NYBC) has introduced a new donor screening process based on Individual Donor Assessment (IDA), not sexual or gender identity.

This comes at an important time as New York is currently experiencing a blood emergency with dangerously low levels of O+ and O-, B-, and platelets.

NYBC has announced a blood emergency following a summer of low donor turnout.

Contributing to the shortage are holidays, back-to-school activities, and a prolonged 50percent decrease in youth and first-time donors. The region’s blood supply is well below the optimal 5-7 days and while all blood types are needed, types O+, O-, B-, and platelets are critically low.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CONTRACT BRIDGE Famous Hand

South dealer.

Neither side vulnerable.

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.

GARDEN CITY PRIDE ON FULL DISPLAY DURING 2023 SPIRIT WEEK Students throughout the Garden City School District showcased their school unity and pride during spirit week in the days leading up to the district’s homecoming celebration. Students participated in themed days such as “America Day,” “Unity Day” and “Spirit Day” among others.

To conclude spirit week, high school students visited the elementary and middle schools on Oct. 20 to host pep rallies at each building. Senior athletes and marching band members led the younger students in energetic cheers and inspiring performances, to the delight of all in attendance.

Later in the afternoon, the high school held its own pep rally, where all senior student athletes were introduced and some even performed hilarious skits. Seniors Anna Mitchell and John Kelly were crowned the homecoming queen and king, respectively.

For the second straight year the homecoming parade was canceled due to inclement weather.

Fortunately, the weather did not dampen the spirit of those who gathered for the football game, and the sun even made a brief appearance later in the game. Fans and students were treated to a 41-0 Trojans victory over the Elmont Spartans as well as fantastic performances by the middle school cheer team, Garden City High School marching band, JV/varsity cheer and varsity kickline.

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
