An Intense 2023 Election

TOP STORY

Hateful campaigning, knocking over signs

JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

The following story does not reflect the Nov. 7 election, as the election was ahead of press time. Check back in the Nov. 15 issue for election results. ampaigning, regardless of office, was never supposed to be a friendly competition. However, it seems that some campaigns may be taking their race to the county or town seat too far. On Oct. 31, Nassau County Legislator Josh Lafazan and Jon Kaiman, Deputy County Executive of Suffolk, who was running to be the next Town of North Hempstead Supervisor, held a press conference outside of Mid-Island Y JCC in Plainview. They stood aside a wall constructed to display missing fliers of the over 200 hostages that were kidnapped by Hamas in Israel on Oct. 7, to address campaigning materials paid for by the Nassau County Republican Committee that were described as antisemitic. Lafazan, an incumbent, ran against challenger Samantha Goetz in the 18th district. And Kaiman was challenging incumbent Jennifer DeSena. “I am proud to be Jewish,” Lafazan said. “I am proud to be the grandson of a Holocaust refugee. I’m proud to be the cousin of a current IDF reservist.” Lafazan said he was speechless when he saw the campaign materials. The elongated nose, the dirty appearance, yellow, long teeth and the handfuls of money were some of the aspects of the manipulated photos of him that he compared to Nazi-era propaganda. Campaign material against Kaiman depicted him having a larger head, with larger facial features, and handfuls of money. This type of campaign material has been sent out to constituents for months, Lafazan said. “I have been running for office since I was 18 years old,” Lafazan said. “I ran for the school Board of Education at Syosset High School when I was 18, and in the 11 years since I have faced antisemitism in my daily life but never faced antisemitism on a campaign before.” Lafazan said he knows that during a campaign, you will be attacked. “But no one deserves this,” Lafazan said. Kaiman, who is also the chairman of an antisemitism taskforce in Suffolk County, called these days extraordinary times, citing the war between Israel and Hamas. “The imagery might not catch everybody as being starkly antisemitic,” Kaimain said. “But those of us who follow it, who’ve lived it, who have seen what happens when people turn hate into action, we’ve learned that we can not take it for granted.”

Nassau County Legislator Josh Lafazan compared the photo on the bottom left, used by his political opponent Samantha Goetz and paid for by the Nassau County Republican Committee, to Nazi-era propaganda like the photo on top.

Ravin Chetram, who was running for Oyster Bay Town Board, had a campaign banner ripped down. Chetram said banners and lawn signs for the Oyster Bay Democratic Committee have been getting knocked over and ripped up all over town. (Photo courtesy Ravin Chetram) Woodbury resident Israel Weisfelner called for Goetz to step down from the election. As someone who was born in a displaced persons camp in Germany to Holocaust survivors, he said he was sick to his stomach when he received the mailer. “I challenge anyone who created this poster to actually tell us where these symbols come from,” said Rabbi Jaimee Shalhevet of North Shore Synagogue in Syosset. “None of it is based on fact. It is all based on fear, anger and hatred.” In a response, the Nassau County Republican Committee stated that the mailers accurately illustrate the corruption and tax hikes of candidates for public office at the behest of partisan interest. “The Republican Party has no knowledge of the religion that the candidates in question observe,” the statement read. “Nor do we

associate illustrations of greedy and corrupt politicians holding money with any ethnic group, race or religion. Shame on the Democrat Party if it makes any such association.” In the same statement, the Nassau County Republican Committee condemned the Oyster Bay Democratic Committee. “The Town of Oyster Bay Democrat Committee’s Facebook post, which depicts an image of a pig with a swastika on its hind quarters as an emblem of the Republican Party... This is an unmitigated trope of ‘Jew-hatred’ on steroid,” the statement read. The post in question was a shared YouTube video from the channel “The Accurate Pessimist.” The video, which consists of a voice-over and photo slideshow, alleges that voting for Town of Oyster Bay Republican candidates is the same as voting for former U.S. President Donald Trump. The

photo of the pig styled to look like Trump with the swastika was a criticism of him, accompanied with the words “Say goodbye to almost 250 years of Democracy.” “The New York State Republican Committee’s relentless flurry of anti-Semitic mailers is a disgrace,” said Oyster Bay Democratic Committee Town Leader David Mejias. “If only they channeled that zeal into addressing Oyster Bay’s deep-seated corruption that wastes taxpayer’s money, rather than fixating on a Facebook video of their beloved leader - Donald Trump.” Ravin Chetram, who was running for Oyster Bay Town Board, said he has been receiving the campaign materials against Lafazan. “It’s so many that people who vote Republican are getting sick of it,” Chetram said. The Oyster Bay Democratic Committee has also grown weary of their opponents’ campaign practices, he said. Chetram said he was noticing Oyster Bay Democratic Committee campaign signs were being ripped down all over town. He posted a video to his Instagram page, which he showed untouched signs for Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilwoman Vicki Walsh and James Asmus, who was running for Nassau County Legislator against incumbent Legislator Arnold Drucker in the 16th district. He then showed ripped down signs for Drucker and the Oyster Bay Democrats. Chetram added that he’s been seeing his own banners being torn down. He said at first the banners were being pulled off the metal frames and dropped onto the ground, which would be fixed any time members of the campaign passed them. However, the banners eventually started getting ripped in half so that they could not be fixed. “It’s happening all over way too often,” Chetram said. “It’s frustrating. It’s not good what they’re doing. They’re being bullies and I don’t like it.” Chetram said he can’t prove the Oyster Bay Republican candidates are responsible, but some members of the community believe that is the case, Chetram said. “Their claim is totally ridiculous and a desperate attempt to grab sensational headlines before Election Day,” said Brian Nevin, a spokesperson for local Republican campaigns. “Let’s face it; local Democrats have no support from homeowners due to their high tax and criminal-first policies. Democrats have resorted to putting political signs on state roadways, which are later removed by State Department of Transportation crews.” Nevin then referenced Jacob Scheiner, who is challenging District 6 Nassau County Legislator William Gaylor III. Scheiner was caught on a Ring camera video having an unidentified person steal his opponent’s sign and replace it with his own while he was operating the vehicle. Scheiner was charged with petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property, Nassau County Police told the New York Post.

Saladino And Town Board Approve Sixth Consecutive Tax Freeze Budget Restricts new spending, reduces town debt and continues property tax relief

own Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board approved the Town Budget for 2024, which continues to sustain the $1.3 million property tax cut approved by the Town Board for 2018. Despite the national economy experiencing the highest inflation rate in 40 years, the Town Board successfully implemented a plan that freezes property taxes for the sixth consecutive year – once again possible thanks to the spending restraints, efficiencies and debt reduction initiatives put in place by the Town Board. Although the town once faced a $44 million deficit, approximately $88 million are now in reserves as a result of strong financial management practices. Supervisor Saladino stated, “Our Town Board continues to keep its promises to ensure fiscal stability while delivering the highest level of services to our residents. This 2024 Budget again freezes property taxes and is steadfast in its commitment to protecting taxpayers while continuing initiatives that enhance the suburban quality of life in our town. From investing in roadways, parks, pools, beaches and the environment to combatting zombie homes and blights, the Town Board is making our community a better place.” Since 2017, the Saladino administration has received eight credit rating upgrades from independent globally-recognized financial firms. In awarding these increases, Moody’s Investor Service and Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings reported ‘continued improvements to the town’s financial position’ while also crediting the Town Board for improved budget and cost cutting, stating that ‘governance is a key driver of this action.’ These credit rating upgrades save town taxpayers significant money each time the town bonds for road repaving, sports field improvements and other critical infrastructure upgrades in our parks and facilities. While delivering these important upgrades for the community, the Town Board has also managed to reduce total town debt by $187 million.

Cutting & Freezing Property Taxes The 2024 Budget continues to sustain the property tax cut approved by the Town Board in 2017 by implementing a plan that again freezes property taxes in 2024 for a sixth straight year. Accordingly, nearly $9.1 million will be back in the pockets of residents rather than in the coffers of government. This taxpayer

offered through a Mega Job Fair, offered free to all residents each October. The Saladino administration is committed to helping residents, especially those most in need during this current crisis, find meaningful employment opportunities. To keep our local economy moving forward, the Town Board directed the Department of Planning & Development to launch online building permit applications and accept credit card payments. The Saladino administration also reprioritized the workforce to process building applications at a faster pace. The town continues to offer many same-day permits, and has eliminated red-tape for businesses to keep outdoor dining open throughout 2024. The Saladino administration and Town Board knows that anti-tax, pro-jobs policies are critical for the future of our economy. Those policies helped attract the corporate headquarters of 1-800-Flowers to Jericho, as well as a Home Depot final destination facility in Hicksville. Furthermore, our policies helped attract a new Amazon distribution facility and hundreds of jobs to Syosset. This facility is significant for the economy as it generates millions in recurring economic activity while bringing new life to a brownfield property that has sat dormant for more than three decades. Dream Car Restorations has found a new home in Plainview, and their automotive skills are featured on The Discovery Channel. To keep downtowns vibrant and storefronts filled, the Town of Oyster Bay is investing money in downtown revitalization initiatives while supporting small businesses and non-profit organizations with federal grant money. In fact, the Town Board recently released millions of federal dollars to small businesses and chambers of commerce to keep them afloat and boost local initiatives. The town will soon break ground in Hicksville for a 200-unit residential building with retail.

Continuing On The Right Track!

In a short period of time, the Saladino administration has turned a multi-million-dollar operational deficit into a $88 million surplus while cutting property taxes and earning eight Wall Street credit rating upgrades. Now, the Town of Oyster Bay is delivering better services than ever before at a cost of only $144 a month for the average homeowner (less than the monthly cable bill). —Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay

Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology Will Have You BeYouTiFul This Fall

Fall is the perfect time to seek help with those last few inches that you can’t seem to lose. Body Contouring can be the answer to reshaping those undesirable areas of your body. The most common body contouring technique is liposuction, and, utilizing the latest and most advanced products, your recovery is fast. The sooner you act, the sooner you’ll look fantastic. If you have been considering a Tummy Tuck (post-pregnancy or for weight loss), this procedure can have you in great shape in a very short period of time, and you can show off that terrific figure well before the Holiday Season. SmartLipo is ideal for the neck, jaw line, arms, breasts, “bra fat”, abdomen, “love handles”, “saddlebags,” inner and outer thighs and knees. You may also consider CoolSculpting®, a body sculpting, fat freezing; non-surgical procedure that reduces inches quickly! CoolSculpting® can freeze fat from the abdomen, love handles, buttocks, thighs, arms and chin with no downtime. This new non-invasive procedure can make significant improvements in your appearance by reducing inches quickly. Most people see results after just one treatment. CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared and studies show an average

of 22% fat layer reduction after the first procedure. Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery is currently offering a 20% discount off of two areas. Combine with the latest device Emsculpt® to tone and build muscle for a more sculpted result. Dr. Greenberg invented the Modern Mommy Make Over to address the changes that pregnancy makes on the body. As many women elect to start a family at an older age, pregnancy, and especially repeated pregnancies, can stretch and distort the breasts and abdomen and cause spider veins, stretch marks, broken capillaries, acne and more. If childbirth has made some changes to your body that you would like to correct, the Modern Mommy Make Over provides the right combination of tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift with or without implants and vaginal rejuvenation to restore your body and regain confidence. Diet and exercise are the best ways to help stay healthy and keep in shape, but supplementing a healthy lifestyle with cosmetic surgery procedures will leave you in the best shape that you can be in…healthy and beautiful, both inside and out! It’s time to feel comfortable and show off that terrific figure this fall!

Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg offers complimentary consultations at his Woodbury, Southampton and Manhattan offices. To schedule an appointment, or request additional information, call 516-364-4200 or visit www.GreenbergCosmeticSurgery.com.

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.

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

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

Getty Images

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

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. 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.

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.

FCA Names Julie Robinson-Tingue Vice President, Chief Of Staff

amily and Children’s Association, one of Nassau County’s oldest and largest nonprofit health and human services organizations, has named Julie RobinsonTingue Vice President, Chief of Staff. In this newly created position, Robinson-Tingue will report directly to President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Jeffrey L. Reynolds. “I am thrilled to welcome an administrator and communicator of Julie’s caliber to FCA,” said Dr. Reynolds. “Her decades of experience in both regional and national health care as well as in the not-for-profit sphere is a potent combination. She is sure to be a great asset to me and to FCA as a whole.” In her new position, Robinson-Tingue will be an important part of the management team, serving as a strategic and administrative partner providing high level support to Dr. Reynolds. She will be tasked with maximizing efficiencies across FCA to help expand the number of people it can serve, cultivating increased communication across FCA’s divisions, and continuing to strengthen a culture of value and inclusion among FCA employees by closely partnering with front line teams and administrators.

“I look forward to contributing to FCA with the knowledge and tools I’ve acquired from my diverse healthcare experiences over many years,” said Robinson-Tingue. “My various positions have fine-tuned my ability to present the macro picture of health care and advise how local organizations can better navigate this landscape to assist

clients needing or receiving care. We must continue to seek out new and better ways to help people access the care they deserve.” Prior to joining FCA, Robinson-Tingue spent 2 1/2 years with Optum Health (part of UnitedHealth Group), most recently as Senior Director, Corporate Communications. She was part of a national corporate communications team that develops and oversees strategic processes and provides counsel for all executive, internal and external communications that impact Optum care delivery organizations nationwide. Before her time at Optum, Robinson-Tingue was Senior Director, Strategic Communication for Northwell Health. She is a graduate of Northwell Health’s 2016 High Potential Experiential Executive Development Program reserved for the top one percent of its leaders.

Robinson-Tingue lives in Bay Shore, New York with her family. FCA is a not-for-profit agency helping more than 35,000 Long Islanders each year. For nearly 140 years, the organization has worked to protect and strengthen vulnerable children, seniors, families, and communities on Long Island. FCA believes in the potential of Long Island - a place where no child, senior, family or community is left to struggle alone with barriers to health care, education, employment, or economic prosperity. Long Island continues to be one of the greatest places in the world to live and raise a family for many; FCA exists to ensure that be the case for all. — Submitted by FCA

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

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.

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.

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.

he Whaling Museum invites adults to get creative and learn new skills while enjoying thoughtfully selected cocktails to enhance each monthly program. This new series will incorporate crafts for adults that celebrate history, science, and the sea. Each month, the museum education team chooses a craft that highlights a link to the museum, either from a historical or scientific angle. Cocktails are selected to further immerse participants in the theme of the evening. The debut session stars an adorable, felted whale ornament and mulled wine to get in the spirit. It will take place on Thursday, Dec. 7, 2023. Participants work with wool and a needle to craft a whale ornament with fins, eyes, a tail, and a loop for hanging. Mulled wine will be served.

Then, dive into the surprising history of champagne and enjoy a glass of bubbly while designing a unique seashell trinket tray. The February session takes place on Thursday, Feb. 8, 2024. Participants will receive watercolor paper and paint with instructions for different watercolor techniques to use in their design. The cocktail will be a “layered” vodka drink. The full program description is as follows:

Crafts & Cocktails: Seashell Succulent Planter

Whales, dolphins, starfish….not the sea creatures, but the PLANTS! Join us to explore the incredible world of succulents. For sailors out at sea, every drop of water was precious, but these hardy plants thrive in dry conditions - in fact, too much water often leads to their demise! Learn about the health benefits and easy care for these houseplants and decorate a terracotta pot with seashells to plant your very own sea creature succulent cutting. Unlike those sailors, we won’t leave you high and dry! Sip a rum cocktail while you work in homage to the grog sailors used to drink. “Just as we find ourselves drawn to the sea today, artists and artisans throughout human history have found inspiration in the watery parts of the world. Through educator-led instruction and artifact exploration, participants will have the opportunity to explore the fascinating origins of sea-inspired crafts, while engaging their creativity and learning new skills. Our carefully curated accompanying cocktails will further bring the past to life as we celebrate Long Island’s maritime heritage,” said Brenna McCormick-Thompson, Curator of Education, The Whaling Museum & Education Center “Adults will appreciate the dedicated attention to detail museum educators have made when crafting each session to encapsulate educational themes with adult enjoyment. Each evening is a perfect opportunity for friends, partners or family members to gather and spend time in a relaxed and unique environment. They’ll go home with something to remember the evening by in addition to a new skill,” said Gina Van Bell, Assistant Director, The Whaling Museum & Education Center. Craft & Cocktails sessions are scheduled monthly on Thursday evenings at 6:30pm. Upcoming session dates for December through March 2024 will take place on Dec. 7, Jan. 11, Feb. 8 and March 7.

Jericho’s Future Business Leaders BY CHARLIE DUBOFSKY, MADISON KANE, AMNEET KAUR AND RYAN LANDSBERG editors@antonnews.com

Jericho FBLA is one of the largest clubs in Jericho with hundreds of students. We strive to teach our members more about business and share opportunities for them to get involved in. Our goal is to make students fearless business leaders beyond the classrooms and take it to the next level. At Jericho FBLA, we aim to enhance our public speaking, presentation, and networking skills. Though the club is very competitive, we are all about opening up opportunities for students to portray their business expertise. Senior presidents Brian Berger, Elana Kane, and Evan Peykar, members of the club for three years, shared their perspectives on a new internship program with Kings Crest Global (KCG). Kane found this internship this past summer, worked online with executives from all over the world, and said “it was a very fulfilling experience that brought in my perspective on what the business world really is.” Kane was one of the company’s first interns which made them want to extend their internship program, so KCG worked with Elana Kane to create this internship program. Kane thinks that “this will enlighten the perspective of FBLA club members, because yes, a lot of us are involved in the business department at Jericho High School, but actually applying this knowledge to the real world and critical thinking is going to be essential to their future careers in whatever field they go into.” Kane further explained how the program is very diverse and allows students to have the opportunity to choose a field they want to pursue. In addition, Berger stated that “we thought it would benefit the company itself and our members get more experience and add more to their résumé.”.” Berger also expressed how the internship will “give the selected students a different experience that can enhance their skill set that they can bring to states, nationals, and other events.” Furthermore, Peykar said that he “is excited for younger members to gain insight into how a real company operates. I’m really excited for our members to be able to participate in this.” On Friday Nov. 3, 10 Jericho FBLA students went to participate in the Adelphi Apprentice Challenge. At the Adelphi Apprentice Challenge, students are given a real life prompt and need to provide a solution for the company. They are put in groups with people from other schools. It tests teamwork and on-the-fly thinking. Junior and three-year member of the club Max attended the competition. He was very excited to collaborate and learn different

business strategies from participants from various schools. He said, “I can honestly say I am very excited for this opportunity. As this is a competition exclusive to Jericho FBLA officers, I feel honored to be participating, and can’t wait to form connections with young business-minded students all across Long Island.” As part of the challenge is examining case studies for a local business, students are given a voice in decisions that can directly impact them. Senior and three-year member Ben Karol, agrees that examining the case studies has many benefits. “ I think that when students of a similar geographic region work on a case study for a local business it only provides benefits towards the businesses because the main goal is to further the business’s operations and provide them with ways to improve their organization,” he said. One of the first competitions we have introduced this year is Ready, Set, Lead, also known as RSL. This competition has been introduced to students in Jericho FBLA due to its multitude of events and learning opportunities. One student participating in this competition is Jaelyn Chow, a junior, who is competing in Hospitality. Chow claims she chose Hospitality because she was looking for “an event that included event creating, customer attraction, and marketing strategies.“ She also went on to say that she is looking forward to the competition, as she is “anticipating the opportunity to meet new people.” Another participant, Sunny Zhao, who is competing in Graphic Design, shared some of the skills she has developed while preparing for RSL. Zhao stated, “Some enlightenment I gained during my preparation for RSL was how important the input of others can be.” She claims that with the help of classmates, she and her partner, Kyle Lee, were able to create a logo that satisfied both of them. Jaelyn Chow and Sunny Zhao began their projects as soon as the prompts were released and consistently contributed time towards it on a daily basis until the submission deadline. Ready Set Lead is an amazing opportunity for students to become familiar with the structure of FBLA and learn important presentation skills. Clearly, here at Jericho FBLA we offer and compete in a multitude of competitions and give club members ample opportunity to flourish in the business realm. With business internships and competitions to compete in, FBLA offers incredible skills and resources to students. We all are super excited to compete in these upcoming events and hope for the best outcomes for all involved. — Charlie Dubofsky, Madison Kane, Amneet Kaur and Ryan Landsberg are students at Jericho High School.

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
