TOP STORY

Being Thankful And Generous This Season Local organizations provide for the community

JENNIFER CORR

jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

t’s a time of year that is about receiving, whether it’s receiving a delicious dinner on Thanksgiving with family, or that meaningful gift from a loved one. But for many, it’s also about giving. Amid all the holiday cheer and excitement that comes with November and Thanksgiving, people feel extra generous. They often showcase their generosity by providing a waiter with a nice tip, donating to a toy drive, dropping off some food at a local pantry or providing a nice coat to keep someone warm during the winter. According to Charity Navigator, charities receive an average of 41 percent of their contributions in the last few weeks of the year, making these weeks crucial in hitting yearend goals. In fact, Dec. 31 brings 20 percent of charities online year-end revenue. On a local level, many local pantries and non-profits have initiatives to make sure that no person goes without a warm and delicious Thanksgiving meal or a special gift this holiday season. The Bethpage Turkey Drive to benefit the Island Harvest Food Bank will take place on Friday, November 17, 2023, from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Bethpage Federal Credit Union’s headquarters, 899 South Oyster Bay. “This year marks the 15th anniversary of Long Island’s largest one-day food drive which, to date, has donated more than 45,000 turkeys and over 200,000 pounds of food over 15 years to Island Harvest which helps supply Thanksgiving holiday meals to families in our community,” a press release from Island Harvest stated. “Long Islanders are asked to donate frozen turkeys, non-perishable food items, or cash dona-

Bethpage’s drive through donation lanes will allow residents to remain in their cars while volunteers remove donations from the vehicles.” Jericho Cares will be providing local families with Thanksgiving baskets that are assembled by partner organizations, including Island Harvest, which is providing the turkeys. “We have an Amazon Wishlist for extras we’d like to provide that day, like tablecloths,” said Fran O’Connor, the president of Jericho Cares. “We actually had a Girl Scout troop that made us centerpieces to give out. And, we have volunteers come that day and help us give all the baskets to the families.” “They are just so grateful and appreciative for everything we do,” O’Connor added. “They thank us so many times.” O’Connor said a need for Thanksgiving baskets, a three-year-old initiative, has increased.

Thanksgiving

“We had to close our sign-up,” O’Connor said. In general, O’Connor said, requests have gone up for care packages. Inflation of groceries is part of the reason why families need more assistance. Jericho Cares will also be working with families to create a wish list this holiday season. “The families sign up for gifts they would like for their children,” O’Connor said. “And then we have donors adopt a family.” Long Island Cares is providing generous Long Islanders an opportunity to adopt a family this Thanksgiving. The initiative runs through Nov. 15. Items needed include cans of vegetables and fruit, a box of stuffing, a box of mashed potato mix, two cans of gravy, a can of cranberry sauce, a can of yams, a can of corn muffin mix, one dessert and a frozen turkey (which is optional.) The 2023 Toys for Tots Campaign for Long Island has also begun, with a

drop-off location at Anton Media Group, 132 E 2nd St., Mineola. And through Jan. 12, 2024, Long Island Coalition for the Homeless, which is based in Amityville, is collecting non-perishable food, bags, toiletries, warm weather clothing, outdoor items (such as tents, tarps and sleeping bags) and $5 to $10 gift cards to Dunkin’, McDonalds, 7/11 and other accessible places. The Love Your Neighbor Project, based in Sea Cliff, plans to keep the generosity going through February. “What we do is we help organizations and people in the community who are already in the space of the holidays, we just support them monetarily and help get the word out,” said Jaime Teich, the “chief neighbor” of the Love Your Neighbor Project. “February is the month of kindness, and so we do a wish list, we’ve actually partnered with North Shore High School’s Interact Club to help this year... We fulfill the wish list of people whose families are impacted financially.” For example, the Love Your Neighbor Project is supporting Glen Head real estate agent Celeste Gullo, who is collecting food, diapers and cash to support families this Thanksgiving. The drop-off location is at her office, 60 Glen Head Road. “We provided her money to help in that effort,” Teich said. “We will do the same for any of the local organizations who do a Thanksgiving drive or a holiday drive to support families. We don’t want to compete in the space and we have so many incredible organizations in the area who are directly helping our community members in need.” Other initiatives from the Love Your Neighbor Project include the Connect to Spooky Goodness drive, which collected Halloween costumes for local children, and the Candy Drive for the Troops, which allowed locals to drop off their extra Halloween candy.

Empanadas With A Purpose Nelly’s Artisan Argentinian Empanadas opens in Glen Cove JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

elly Mourelle could not have predicted what her life would’ve looked like just three years ago, when she was making and selling her empanadas at Deep Roots Farmers Market in Glen Cove and working full time as a guidance counselor. Since then, she’s opened three locations to sell her empanadas while also providing career training and opportunities for students and adults with developmental disabilities. “I still can not believe it, I pinch myself sometimes,” Mourelle said. “I had to go through all this to finally find what I like. I studied so much. I have multiple careers. I did marketing. I did culinary arts. Then I decided to be a guidance counselor. I have a double Masters. I have another Masters in Spanish because I wanted to be a Spanish teacher... It all makes sense now. God was preparing me to do this work.” Mourelle was always a chef. “I started culinary arts in my 20s,” Mourelle explained. “It’s always been a passion of mine, cooking and food. I’ve always wanted to open a restaurant, but God decided back then it wasn’t my time. I’m from the Dominican Republic, and I came here and went back to school all over again and I went to be a guidance counselor, so I’m actually a bilingual guidance counselor, and I was working in Queens in District 24 for many years.” During this time, Mourelle’s husband, Jorge, who is Argentinian, began having cravings for empanadas. “It took me a long time to make the perfect empanada,” Mourelle said. “One day, when they were finally really good, he said ‘you should start selling these. They’re really good.’ And that’s how I started in the farmers market.” Amy Peters, the founder of Deep Roots Farmers Market, said during the winter and spring of 2021, she was on the hunt for the best empanada she could find to bring to

the farmers market. “Nelly approached me to see if she could join the market,” Peters said. “She brought me some samples-which were simply amazing. At that time, during COVID, we were dealing with space restrictions due to social distancing requirements and mostly booked up, but I had a few open dates available and invited her to come. Her first day, she sold out in the first hour. I invited her to return the following Saturday. She brought twice as many empanadas that day and sold out in an hour and a half. I invited her to join as a weekly vendor and her empanadas were a big hit. Nelly Mourelle Over the last (Photos courtesy Nelly’s Artisan two years, she Argentinian has developed Empanadas) a very loyal following.” Among the following is Rosemarie Rosenblum of Syosset. Rosenblum, who is originally from Glen Cove, bonded with Mourelle because she is a retired guidance counselor for Hicksville Public Schools. “We struck up a conversation and every couple of weeks I’d go back in the morning and buy empanadas for the next couple of weeks and freeze them,” Rosenblum said. “They’re delicious.” Mourelle decided to focus on her empanadas full-time, opening up a space in West Babylon in the fall of 2022 and then at the Tanger Outlets in Deer Park in the spring of 2023. And while she no longer worked as a full-time guidance counselor, she still was able to exercise her passion of helping people. “We both care deeply about helping the community and helping others and I give her tons of props, because she’s a busy lady,” Rosenblum said. “She’s running three retail establishments, all new, all getting off the ground, and still she’s making the time

to give back to the community and teach kids essential skills for life.” At her West Babylon location, adults with autism from the Winters Center for Autism come to learn restaurant skills, such as cleaning, dish-washing and baking, because Nelly’s Empanadas are baked, never fried. They also have an opportunity to be hired to work there. Similarly, at the Deer Park location, students with developmental disabilities in the Deer Park High School life skills program receive career training there. “Nelly is an incredible employer partner,” said Christine Ponzio, the executive director of the Winters Center for Autism. “Because of her compassion we have had the opportunity to provide our food service trainees with a glimpse into working in a restaurant including food preparation, safety, customer service and problem solving when needed. Nelly believes in our mission and the work she does has inspired other businesses to hire adults with autism. We work together with Nelly to hire for a higher purpose.” Mourelle said it’s unheard of for someone to combine their two passions in one place. “That’s why I truly believe in God,” Mourelle said. “I think God created that for me so that I can finally open my restaurant, but also keep working with kids with disabilities, because when I was a guidance counselor I was working with kids with disabilities in the school district.” Now, Mourelle said, she can make empanadas with a purpose. And opening up her third location in Glen Cove, located at 17 Bridge St., is special to Mourelle, because Glen Cove is

The empanadas are baked, never fried, and are made with fresh ingredients.

where it all started. “Three years to find the spot, and when I find the spot, it’s right across the street from where the farmers market used to be,” Mourelle said. “That community supported me in my business since day one. And because of them, I’ve been able to open my other locations and finally have been able to come to them.” Menu items include Beef Classico, with ground angus beef, , sautéed onions, hardboiled eggs, raisins and green olives; Beef & Potatoes; Birria Taco, with slow-cooked beef in guajillo and ancho chile sauce with Mexican spices; CheeseBurger; Chicken Fiesta, with hormone-free chicken breast, fire-roasted corn, beans and veggies and mix of cheeses; Chicken & Cheese; Jerk Chicken; BBQ Chicken; BBQ Pulled Pork; Carnitas Taco with pulled pork, chipotle pepper sauce, black beans and blend of cheese; Ham & Cheese; Sun Dried Tomatoes; Caprese; Spinach & Ricotta; Spinach & Artichoke; Bacon, Egg & Cheese and Sausage, Egg & Cheese. “I love that she makes her own dough from scratch, and that she bakes them instead of frying them,” Peters said. “So much healthier and that is very important to me and the mission of the farmers market. We are so happy that she has found a great space in Glen Cove for her third retail location. I sincerely hope that she can continue to be a part of the Deep Roots vendor family, but I also understand how difficult it is to manage and staff three stores. All of us at Deep Roots Farmers Market wish Nelly much success.” All the ingredients are made in-house and are fresh. “We are not a factory,” Mourelle said. “We cook everything in small batches. Even though I have three stores, it’s a little challenging to supply three stores because we cook in small batches. So when you get an empanada from one of our stores, it’s made with love. It’s made with care. It’s made with good ingredients. In all of our preparation we don’t use refined oils. We use olive oil.” For more information about Nelly’s Empanadas, visit www.empanadas-nellys.com.

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.

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!

Girl Scouts Aim To Soar 150 girls explore aviation, meet female crew

AMANDA OLSEN

t’s not every day you get to meet American Airlines’ first ever female pilot, but that’s just what a group of Girl Scouts did at a recent one-of-a-kind aviation program at LaGuardia Airport. The pilot’s name is Bonnie Tiburzi Caputo, and she was among the female aviation professionals the girls interacted with through the course of this opportunity. Each Girl Scout who attended earned an “aviation fun” patch, symbolizing their newfound knowledge and aspirations from learning about American Airlines. They networked with female pilots, flight attendants, and aviation workers over snacks and lunch. Two of the girls, sisters Mary Rose Murray, 16, and Lily Murray, 13, both of New Hyde Park, spoke about their experience with enthusiasm. “I actually was thinking about being a pilot, and it definitely made me want to do it more…it’s definitely something I’m thinking about,” said Lily. MaryRose took her first flight in a plane over the summer, so this perspective gave her a new insight into that experience. “I went on a plane for the first time over the summer, actually. So being in one again, but this time it was a more personalized experience, getting to know the ins and outs of the plane and the amount of fuel in front and back.” The girls were impressed and encouraged by meeting Caputo and the other female staffers. “She (Caputo) was inspiring, the way she was so happy and passionate about her career all these years later. She told us stories about how there were even signs in the lounges that said ‘male pilots and Bonnie too’, because it was just so out of the question for a woman to be in that field at the time. Now it’s common to see it. It’s amazing to me how in only a short span of time it’s become so open,” said Lily. For MaryRose, the relative size of the cockpit and the number of controls to be memorized made an impression. “We were able to enter the plane and we got to sit in the cockpit. And compared to the rest of the plane, it was pretty cramped, with so many buttons and dials, and it was just amazing to me. The pilots have to memorize all these controls and control the flight. It just blew my mind.” This initiative aimed to open young minds to potential careers in aviation. More than 150 Girl Scouts were able to board a plane, taxi the runway, learn how planes work, and

speak with women pilots, mechanics, security staff, and flight crews about their careers. The partnership with American Airlines was part of the Girl Scouts of Nassau County’s ongoing mission to expose Girl Scouts to science and technology-related careers and connect them with inspirational role models to help empower them as they explore future careers. “Our goal is really to inspire girls. We want to make sure that we give them role models, people that they may not traditionally see, to let them know that anything is possible. Any career choice they want to do they can explore it. And we’re just trying to

find ways to connect the dots. If they like design and drawing, that can be connected to a science field as well. Just because you like art doesn’t mean you can’t also like science. Whatever they dream and want to be, we want to give them that exposure,” said Kelly Hill, the chief advancement officer at Girl Scouts of Nassau County. Some recent efforts to expose Girl Scouts to less traditional careers include the annual STEM Conference and STEMrelated journeys, such as a trip to Feinstein Institutes. The STEM Conference, titled “Imagine Your Possibilities,” was presented in conjunction with Hofstra University

They learned about many aviation careers first hand. and Estee Lauder. “It exposes girls to then say, ‘Oh, I could be a scientist. I could be a doctor. I can even be a professor.’ And we looked for the females in these careers who are already doing it to show them what path they took, what things they did. How did they stay focused in this career path as they were going through high school, in college, to make sure that this was something they wanted to do as a career,” said Hill.

Talking To Kids About Tragedy Children are always listening, even to things they may not have the ability to fully comprehend. Whether it be from social media, school, or adults in their lives, it’s inevitable that kids are hearing about the many tragedies that are occurring throughout the world today. Though a parent’s first instinct may be to shield their child from the anxiety and fear that comes with the unknown, avoiding the topic could leave their child feeling lost and helpless. Discussing challenging world events with your children is a delicate but necessary task. By fostering trust, maintaining composure, promoting open communication, addressing social media influence, and helping children cope with anxiety, you can guide them through the complexities of the world while providing them with a safe and supportive environment. These conversations should be ongoing and adapted to your child’s age and maturity level as they grow and develop. A foundation of trust Children need to know that they can rely on their parents through hard times. It’s important to have a strong foundation of trust before going into any difficult conversation with

often feeling affected by the stress, anger, and anxiety of their caregivers, so remaining composed while approaching the topic is crucial for effective communication. “Children feed into their parents’ tone, so if they give the information in a calm manner, children will know that they’re safe,” says Dr. Cohen.

your child. So, what’s the best way to do this? Dr. Sue Cohen, director of Early Childhood and Psychological Services at North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, highlights the importance of actively listening to your children. By paying attention to what they say, encouraging family conversations, and demonstrating mutual respect, you can build a strong foundation of trust. This is vital in helping your children navigate complex issues and challenges in the world. Remain calm Before explaining the news to children, it’s essential for parents to come to terms with it themselves. Kids are adept at picking up on adult emotions,

Open communication Parents should strive to understand what their children already know to gauge their exposure to external information. Get a sense of their awareness and correct any misinformation they may have encountered. Allow them to ask questions without judgment and answer them in an age-appropriate manner. For younger kids, assure them that the scary events are happening far away and that they are safe. For older children, stress the importance of finding reliable information on current events and knowing when to look away from the news. Addressing social media With the rise of technology and social media, kids today have unfiltered access to events happening anywhere in the world. What once could only be viewed on the nightly news or in the morning paper is now at our children’s fingertips 24/7. It is

important to explain to tweens and teenagers the realities of social media. Anyone can have a platform on sites like TikTok and Instagram, which means that not everything they see is backed up by facts. Media literacy is taught in some schools, but it’s important to continue those lessons at home. Discuss the importance of finding primary sources, understanding biases, and recognizing historical context. Dealing with anxiety Exposure to tragic events can significantly increase anxiety levels in children, impacting their daily routine, sleep schedules, and eating habits. Dr. Cohen emphasizes the importance of maintaining regular routines, as children thrive on consistency. Encourage children to express their feelings through creative outlets like artwork and music, or by seeking support from a youth group or volunteer service. Staying mentally and physically active can significantly impact how children cope with distressing news. Remember that support is there for your families as we all navigate this difficult time. Contact the North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center at 516-626-1971 if you or a loved one are struggling.

Money Can Be A Blessing Or A Curse The book of Kohelet (Ecclesiastes), which the Jewish people read during the festival of Sukkot, is seen by many to be a book of contradictions. In actuality, it’s a book that delves deep into the psychology of human behavior and encourages goodness, wisdom, compassion and good sense. The words of Kohelet are read right after the Day of Judgment and Atonement that are known in Hebrew as Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It’s a time when Jews may feel especially merry for having successfully passed through these serious days, possibly causing them to go astray. The words of King Solomon provide a counterbalance to this exuberant relief and guides Jews in how to approach the new year ahead and the gift of life that they’ve been given.

RABBI MOSHE WEISBLUM The book of Kohelet was written by King Solomon, who was the son of King David. Status wise, King Solomon swung quite a pendulum in his life, with times that he was incredibly wealthy and times that he was considered a pauper. Which begs the question, what does

the book of Kohelet have to say about money? In Judaism, there is an inherent understanding that people who are wealthy and people who are poor will each perceive money differently. Jewish scholars tell us that money can serve as a mirror or window into a person’s values and priorities and reveal his true essence. There are some people who care only about money. These people will be so dogged in their pursuit of wealth that they may not even live to enjoy the spoils of their efforts. These individuals do not have a balanced approach to the accumulation of their assets, and it is a sense of balance, above all else, that the book of Kohelet encourages in order to lead a satisfying life.

Money can be a blessing or a curse. In chapter two of Kohelet, King Solomon writes that he built homes, palaces, vineyards, gardens, and orchards with his money, all for his pleasure. However, he warns the reader not to become consumed by his desire for more and not to covet what others have, because ultimately hedonism is meaningless. Money is not the solution to everything. On the contrary, money can be a tremendous source of worry and provide more problems than answers. Though Judaism encourages the amassing of wealth, it is under the assumption that good will be done with the money earned. Often, though, that is not the case, with a person’s descendants acting contrary to his wishes, and the tests

Book Fairies I learn a lot about different problems in the world every time I write an article for L.I.G.H.T. FOR CHARITY™ (my acronym for ‘Long Island Giving Help Together For Charity’). This is important, because knowing about a problem is the first step necessary to solve the problem. In this article I shine a LIGHT on a really wonderful charity based in Freeport, Long Island named BOOK FAIRIES, that is working very hard to help solve the problem of illiteracy throughout Long Island and New York City. One out of every four people in New York is illiterate. People (and especially children) who cannot read are at much higher risk of suffering from low self-esteem, mental illness, health problems, unemployment and poverty. This is a very time sensitive issue: the sooner that reading can be made a part of a person’s life, the better the chance for positive outcome. One of the major reasons for Long Island’s illiteracy problem is lack of access to books. For example, schools without functional libraries. BOOK

change lives and empower communities through the power of reading. You can help by donating money or volunteering your time. Volunteers can help sort books, transport books, host book drives, work at monthly book fairs and do even more to help the important cause. BOOK FAIRIES was founded by Amy Zaslansky. Eileen Minogue

is its executive director and I learned a lot from her in researching for this article. Eileen’s favorite children’s book is titled Love You Forever. I haven’t read it yet, but I plan to, and recommend that you all do so as well. I’m thankful that I have the ability to obtain and read almost any book of my choosing through my school or town library, and I

want everyone else to have those same opportunities.

to his wealth, however, money will come and go, and time is something that cannot be gotten back either. If man spends his time fruitlessly chasing money to ill effect, his life will be devoid of purpose, and he’ll feel like he has failed. It’s no wonder that so many people walk around in low spirits, feeling like they don’t have enough even when they have plenty, or that they’re not good enough even when there is much to recommend them. Kohelet urges mankind to keep sight of the golden mean and to stay balanced in all things. This

means his approach to money as well as his attitude and countenance. And if a fellow happens along a man who seems down and depressed, he should use his mouth to offer words of happiness and blessing. Taking the time to cheer another person, and emitting sentiments of hope can heal their soul, bring renewed vigor to their spirit, and even change their destiny. So, take the time to let others know how much they are cared for, because doing so will serve as one small step towards repairing the world.

FAIRIES was formed to help solve this problem by collecting, upgrading and redistributing new and gently used books to under-resourced communities throughout Long Island and New York City. The charity brings books to schools and community organizations that otherwise don’t have the resources to buy them.

Given the way that money can sometimes be more trouble than it’s worth, the sages advocate for a life of poverty over a life of wealth, because of the purity that abounds in a person who does not have much. Money is best used towards the pursuit of education so that wisdom may be acquired, and with it the knowledge of how to distribute money effectively. Despite a person’s best efforts to hold on

Parrots

According to Britannica, parrots have been kept as cage birds since ancient times, and they have always been popular because they are amusing, intelligent and often affectionate. They also have the ability to imitate many sounds, including human speech. Parrot is a term applied to a large group of birds known as Psittacidae, which includes 333 species. The “true parrots” is the largest subfamily, with members found in warm regions worldwide.

Let‛s Get Crafty: Tissue Worms When the weather gets cold and rainy and you’re stuck inside, it can be fun to dig into some silly crafts. This activity uses items you most likely have at home already, and has a funny reaction when you drop on some water. Materials: Tissues Pencils Washable markers A plate Some water (in a cup with a spout to make it easier to pour)

Using the washable markers, draw gently on the tissue with some bright colors. Next, take the pencil and wind the tissue tightly around it with the marks on the inside. Now, carefully scrunch the tissue down until it is compacted, then remove the pencil. You can use a black marker to make segment lines and eyes. Lay the finished worms on the plate and drop water on the center of their backs. Watch what happens to the worms as the water touches them! You could even have a race to see whose worm gets big the fastest.

These birds have a blunt tongue and eat seeds, buds and some fruits and insects. Many members of the subfamily are simply known as parrots, but other subgroups have more specific names such as macaw, parakeet, conure and lovebird. The African gray parrot is the best talker of the bunch, as they can precisely echo human speech. The Amazon parrots are also proficient mimics and hanging parrots are known for sleeping upside down.

Keeping Pets Stress-Free During The Holidays BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and togetherness for many, but it can also be a stressful period, not only for humans but for our furry companions as well. While we’re busy with decorations, parties, and special meals, it’s important to remember that our pets may perceive the holidays differently. The increased activity, visitors, and changes in routine can be sources of stress for them. Here are some essential tips on how to keep your pets stress-free during the holidays.

Routine

One of the best ways to keep your pets stressfree during the holidays is to stick to their regular routine as much as possible. This includes maintaining their regular feeding times, exercise routines, and bathroom breaks. Predictability and familiarity are comforting to pets, and disruptions in their routines can lead to anxiety. Even though your schedule may be hectic during the holiday season, it’s crucial to ensure that you still provide your pet with the attention and care they’re accustomed to. If you need to make changes due to holiday commitments, try to gradually adjust their schedule in the days leading up to the holidays, so they can adapt more easily.

Safe Haven

With more people coming and going during the holidays, it’s important to provide your pet with a safe and quiet space where they can retreat to if they feel overwhelmed. This could be their crate, a specific room, or a cozy corner with their bed and toys. Make sure that this space is off-limits to guests and that your pet has access to it whenever they need a break. Consider using soothing music or a white noise machine in their safe space to help drown out the noise of holiday gatherings and fireworks, which can be especially stressful for pets.

Avoid Hazards

Holiday decorations and festive foods can pose serious risks to pets. Items like tinsel, ornaments, and electrical cords can be tempting playthings for curious pets but are dangerous if ingested. To keep your pets safe, secure decorations out of their reach and be vigilant about picking up any fallen ornaments or tinsel. Certain holiday foods, such as chocolate, grapes, raisins, alcohol, and certain nuts, can be toxic to pets. It’s crucial to keep these foods well out of your pet’s reach and inform your guests about the importance of not feeding them to your furry friend.

Limit Stressors

If your pet is easily stressed by visitors or commotion, it’s a good idea to limit their exposure to these stressors. Not all pets enjoy the company of strangers, so provide a quiet and secure place for them to retreat to when guests arrive. Inform

your guests about your pet’s preferences and ask them to be respectful and not force interactions. Fireworks and loud holiday parties can be particularly frightening for pets. In the case of fireworks, you can use noise-cancelling headphones or provide your pet with a safe and quiet space, as mentioned earlier. If your pet is particularly anxious, consult your veterinarian for advice on medications or other calming techniques.

Holiday Plants

Many common holiday plants are toxic to pets. Poinsettias, holly, and mistletoe, for example, can cause digestive upset, lethargy, and other health issues if ingested. Make sure to keep these plants out of your pet’s reach or opt for pet-safe decorations instead.

Quality Time

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and overlook the needs of our pets. Remember that your pets are an integral part of your family, and they also require attention and affection. Take some time each day to spend quality time with your pet, whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply snuggling on the couch.

Gift Wrap and Packaging

Gift wrap, ribbons, and packaging materials can be intriguing to pets, but they can also be harmful if ingested. After unwrapping gifts, be sure to collect and Twins Loretta Lynn (Great Pyrenees) and Harriet (miniature bull terrier) dispose of these materials promptly. Small items like of New Hyde Park, have a special pampering routine during the holidays ribbons and string can be particularly hazardous if when guests are expected. Christy Hinko swallowed, potentially causing intestinal blockages.

Candles and Fires

Candles and fireplaces often play a significant role in holiday ambiance. However, they can pose risks to pets. Make sure to keep candles and open flames out of your pet’s reach, as they may be tempted to investigate and could get burned. Use pet-proof covers for your fireplace and ensure that it’s safely contained.

Consult with a Vet

If you notice significant changes in your pet’s behavior or suspect that they are experiencing extreme stress during the holidays, it’s wise to consult with your veterinarian. They can provide guidance on how to manage your pet’s stress and may suggest medications or supplements to help keep them calm.

Faux Fur

and style in contemporary fashion.

In response to ethical and environmental concerns, fashion enthusiasts increasingly opt for faux fur, fostering a compassionate and chic approach to staying warm and fashionable.

Puffer jackets

Puffer jackets have become a ubiquitous fashion trend, celebrated for their unbeatable warmth and urban appeal. With their quilted design and insulating materials, these cozy yet trendy garments have transcended outdoor utility to become a statement piece, reflecting a fusion of practicality

Leather

Leather exudes timeless elegance during the fall season. As temperatures drop, leather jackets, boots, and accessories emerge as key fashion statements. Their versatility, rich textures, and earthy tones complement the changing foliage, creating a classic yet edgy look that resonates with the season’s cool and sophisticated allure.

Skirts

Winter skirts have captivated fashion enthusiasts with their unexpected twist on cold-weather style. Midi and maxi skirts in cozy fabrics like wool and corduroy offer a chic alternative to pants. Paired with tights, boots,

Etiquette Today: Gift Giving ‘Tis the season for gift giving. There is a thrill in picking something out that you think the receiver will absolutely love, wrapping it nicely and having it ready for when you’re going to see them or to ship in time for a certain holiday. There’s definitely some energy that goes into gift-giving, and this time of year, we are often on gift-giving overload! Here are some tips to consider as you start making your lists and checking them twice this holiday season.

The Gift Exchange

We give gifts to honor folks, and it’s unlikely they’ll have a present for us in return. Birthdays, engagements and weddings, graduations, retirements, quinceañeras and bar, and bat mitzvahs (well, the last one has a tradition of giving from the honoree as well), but for the most part are all occasions where we give a gift and do not expect one in return. But the holiday season is when our gift-giving often comes with gift-receiving. Gift exchanges among extended family, co-workers, and friends are all common this time of year. However, this doesn’t mean that we should expect gifts in return. Nor does it mean we should feel guilt or lie if we don’t have a gift to give someone who has given to us. A great gift exchange sounds like this: “Here, I got this gift for you!” followed by, “Oh wow, thank you so much, I really

appreciate it!” Notice the thank you is the second part, not an immediate “and here’s a gift I got for you!” During the holidays, when it comes to gift giving, we can often do two things we want to avoid from an etiquette perspective: 1. Skipping the thank you and going right to giving a gift ourselves, and 2. Thinking that we are somehow bad or less than others if we don’t have a present in return.

What To Give

There is nothing more satisfying than picking out the perfect gift. It’s a special thing to totally nail it when it comes to gifts and an absolute delight for both the person receiving it and the person giving it when we do. But let’s be honest, it’s rare that it happens. Not every gift has to be a perfect surprise or winner. When you don’t have that gangbuster idea for a gift, get people things they will like and enjoy and keep it

simple. Golfers love golfballs; coffee nuts love their favorite beans. Don’t overthink it; go with what works and what is sure to please.

Regifting

Regifting is always a hot topic, and it used to be so taboo to do it. With sustainability at the forefront of many of our minds (and inflation, too) regifting can be a fantastic way to give gifts! There are some things to consider to make sure the regift goes well. When we regift, there’s one straightforward and great way to do it: let the person you’re giving to know that the gift was regifted. So when you receive two copies of Emily Post’s Etiquette—The Centennial Edition this year, so long as it isn’t personalized, it’s okay to give one of them away. “Julie, I got two of these for my birthday, and I thought you’d be the perfect person to regift this second copy to!” Now, if want to be a bit more covert with your regifting, here are four things we think are important to consider before you choose to regift under the radar: • The gift should have its original packaging and all necessary parts and manuals. • The gift should not be unique, home or handmade, or personalized.

Photo by freestocks on Unsplash (Emily Post)

• You need to be 100 percent sure that the person you’re giving it to and the person who gave it to you would not be offended if the regift was discovered. • You have to truly believe that the person receiving the regifted item would appreciate it. No matter if you give a new gift or regift an item, always make sure to wrap your gift in good cheer and the spirit of generosity. This is a time to come together, to appreciate one another, and to sprinkle the magic of good tidings and goodwill to those in our lives. And don’t forget the card. —Emily Post Institute

Tips To Help Consumers Navigate Shopping Season

Understand the difference between warranties and service contracts, and know what to look for before making big purchases New York’s Division of Consumer Protection (DCP) reminds shoppers of laws regarding warranties and service contracts so consumers can make informed decisions about holiday purchases. To avoid surprises, DCP recommends that consumers understand what to look for when reviewing warranties and service contracts.

t’s important for shoppers to stay informed and make smart, safe decisions, especially when making big purchases. To be sure you’re getting what you pay for, pay close attention to any warranties or available service contracts that are offered when spending your hard-earned money. Know the difference between warranties and service contracts Warranties and service contracts are often confused in the marketplace so it’s important to know the difference between the two. Warranties are provided by the manufacturer and are included in the price of a purchase, whereas service

contracts are a separate cost. Don’t pay for a service contract for repairs that may be covered under an included warranty and always read the terms and conditions to understand what is covered before you buy. A warranty is a promise to the consumer that the product purchased, or service provided, will meet certain quality standards. A warranty is a promise to provide repair, maintenance, replacement or refund of a product for a certain time period if these certain quality standards are not met. Under New York Law, warranties may be made orally, in writing and even by implication without any verbal statement.

(Getty Images)

Proving a warranty was made is always easier with proper documentation. An express warranty is one that is written in the product warranty, while an implied warranty is a legally enforceable promise that something will work as intended. Some products, such as automobiles and

appliances, are often sold with an optional service contract. Although often referred to as an “extended warranty,” a service contract is not a warranty. Service contracts are contracts to perform repairs or maintenance on a product. Unlike a warranty, service contracts are not included in the price of the purchase. If a warranty is already provided and covers repairs, you may be paying extra for a largely unnecessary service contract, particularly if the service contract is limited to repair of defects. The Consumer Assistance Helpline 1-800-697-1220 is available on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Consumer complaints can be filed at any time at www.dos.ny.gov/ consumer-protection. —New York State

Which Life Events Affect Life Insurance?

Photo Getty Images

ife insurance can provide someone’s loved ones with financial security if they pass away, but the amount of coverage and range of benefits that a person requires will depend on what stage of life they’re in and how many people they need to protect. Here are five life events that are good times to re-evaluate coverage.

Marriage

While it might not be the first thing on their minds, newlyweds will want to make sure their new spouse is protected if something happens. This may be as simple as adding a spouse as a beneficiary to an existing policy. Spouses may also consider a new life insurance policy to protect their income. The two people in a committed relationship will likely rely on each other for financial

support, and if something were to happen, it could mean an immediate loss of income.

Buying a Home

Finding that perfect place to settle down and start a family is another big milestone. For most homebuyers, this is one of the biggest purchases they will make in their lifetime, and the majority of home purchases come with a mortgage. If one member of a couple were to pass away while they were paying back their mortgage, the family could face serious financial strain and may lose their home. Homebuyers should re-evaluate their life insurance to make sure that, in addition to covering lost income, the mortgage could be fully paid off with the death benefit.

Having Children

responsibilities. They need food, diapers, and tons of supplies. On top of this, parents need to think about other long-term expenses like college. To ensure financial security for a new child, parents often need to either re-evaluate their life insurance policy or get their first life insurance policy. Ensuring that a child would be financially secure even if something were to happen is a key reason many people get their first life insurance policy.

career. There are annual raises, bonuses, promotions, and lucrative career changes. A new job or big raise is a great time to reevaluate life insurance coverage. What someone earned 10 years ago may be much less than what they’re making today, and if insurance coverage is left unchanged, it could lead to an insufficient death benefit.

Higher Income

Most working professionals won’t stay at one income level or job throughout their

Retirement

PSEG Long Island Customers May Be Eligible For Assistance A s winter heating season approaches, PSEG Long Island reminds customers that programs exist to help people struggling with utility bills. There are also many ways they can lower their bills by using energy wisely. PSEG Long Island wants to work with any customer struggling to pay their bills and help them find a solution. The company encourages anyone with a past-due account balance to call 1-800-490-0025 so a representative can help them develop a deferred payment agreement tailored to the needs of their household. Additionally, there are the following financial assistance programs offered by New York State: • The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) can provide a heating fuel grant to eligible homeowners and renters depending on income, household size and how they heat their home. A family of four may have a maximum gross monthly income of $5,838 and still qualify for benefits. This benefit is scheduled to open on Nov. 1. For more information, visit https://otda. ny.gov/programs/heap/. • Emergency HEAP, a subset of the HEAP program, offers eligible customers a grant to help low- and middle-income New Yorkers avoid having their home heating disconnected or exhausting their heating fuel source. This emergency portion of HEAP is scheduled to open on Jan. 2, 2024. If customers are experiencing an emergency, they can apply for this benefit by reaching out to their local Department of Social Services location, which can be found here: https://otda.ny.gov/programs/ heap/contacts/ • For low-income households facing no-heat situations, the State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance is also accepting applications for its heating equipment repair or replacement benefit. Eligible homeowners can now apply for up to $4,000 for repair or $8,000 for replacement of a furnace, boiler or other direct heating equipment necessary to keep the household’s primary heating source working. Additionally, eligible households can receive energy efficiency services, which includes the cleaning of primary heating equipment to allow for its safe and efficient operation. Customers can apply for this benefit by reaching out to their local Department of Social Services location, which can be found here: https://otda.ny.gov/programs/ heap/contacts/ 242933 M

Customers who apply for and receive

one of these state or federal benefits are automatically placed on PSEG Long Island’s Household Assistance rate, which provides a discount of more than $35 on every electric bill, along with the Residential Energy Affordability Program providing energy efficiency measures and suggestions to help lower consumption. The most effective thing customers can to do lower their bills is to use electricity more efficiently. Here are some helpful tips:

• Replace inefficient incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs since, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, lighting accounts for about 15 percent of the electricity used in the home, and LEDs use up to 90 percent less energy and last up to 25 times longer. • Use a programmable thermostat to automatically manage your home’s heating and cooling needs. In addition, PSEG Long Island offers rebates on smart thermostats. • Lower your thermostat by just one degree to potentially reduce your heating bill. Lowering it two degrees during the day and five to 10 degrees at night will save even more. • Install timers and motion detectors to automatically manage indoor and outdoor lighting and help ensure lights are not on when they’re not needed. • Ceiling fans can be used to save energy in winter. Setting a fan to rotate clockwise on low pulls cool air toward the ceiling, pushing warm air down into a room. • Seal windows and doorframes with weather stripping or caulk, and remove or cover window air conditioners to help to prevent drafts that waste energy and money. • Reduce “phantom power” by using energy efficient power strips or unplugging electronic devices when they’re not in use. Items plugged into outlets use electricity even when they’re turned off. • Install a high efficiency air source heat pump (ASHP) to lower energy usage, save money and provide greater comfort in cold and hot months. Robust rebates are available from PSEG Long Island’s Home Comfort Program for ducted ASHP units, ducted geothermal heat pumps and ductless mini split systems. Additionally, PSEG Long Island’s Home Comfort PLUS program offers enhanced rebates for customers who meet certain income qualifications.

project stands to deliver tens of millions of dollars annually in gaming tax revenue to Nassau and Suffolk Counties if it is successful in its bid for a New York State gaming license. “The Sands project is a critical opportunity for Long Island businesses and we are exceedingly proud to unify behind this transformational development,” said Frank

Camarano Jr., president of the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce. “Tonight we are focused on helping our local businesses make as many connections as possible, because the more we work together to partner and scale, the greater impact this project will have on our economy and our community.” The Sands’ proposal is for a

multi-billion-dollar resort and entertainment center on the site of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The proposal includes outdoor community spaces, luxury hotel rooms and a world-class live performance venue honoring the long legacy of live music at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, as well as a new memorial honoring the community’s veterans. The resort will also feature a Canyon Ranch day spa and wellness center, celebrity chef restaurants, and flexible meeting and convention space, with ballrooms. Other planned amenities include high-quality casino gaming, representing less than ten percent of the project’s total square footage, experiential events and venues, and a variety of other entertainment programming. —Submitted by Sands NY

According to Long Island Business News, “Kapoor ruled that Nassau County’s Planning Commission had violated the state’s Open Meetings Law by not providing a proper public hearing on the lease transfer and failed to give a ‘hard look’ when considering the

project’s environmental impact.” The entertainment company commented in an emailed statement, “Las Vegas Sands is proceeding proudly and enthusiastically with our proposal for an integrated resort and entertainment center at the Nassau Hub.

We are toasting to the future of Nassau County and creating new connections that will drive this project forward.” The event was co-hosted by the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce and the Suffolk County Alliance of Chambers in collaboration with the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, the Long Island Hispanic Chambers of Commerce, and the New York South Asian Chamber of Commerce. Small bites and beverages were provided by Sands New York. In addition to Chamber members, Sands executives were present networking and answering questions from local business owners. In addition to millions in procurement opportunities for local businesses, the Sands

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re clever and efficient with your energy. You conserve your resources, delegate and work smart. Though you’ll do what you can to make things easier on yourself, there are moments when you feel the only thing to do is muscle through. When difficulty is unavoidable, just remember the hard things carry you to your greatness.

Beyond the Black Stump Solution: 15 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As the chameleon knows, there are many excellent reasons to blend in that have nothing to do with hiding from life. You are, in fact, living life to its fullest by giving yourself the options and advantages of one who can pick and choose the moments to shine without becoming a target. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In cinema, the themes of the film are often carried in the scenery, the background features, passing dialogue and action that doesn’t seem on its face to be germane to the plot. In this way, your week is like a movie. The more tuned in you are to the setting, the better you’ll be at picking up on, and enjoying, what’s really important.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be thrilled with what works, and you’ll know right away when it doesn’t. What’s intolerable will push you to the next place. Stress that causes you to react quickly is better than complacency that keeps you in a less than optimal scene. To know “this is not for me” is a gift. To seek a better fit is the human experience. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). This week is one unconventional invitation after another, if you know how to look at it. For instance, boredom is a permission slip to leave. Being stuck is an invitation to explore and get inspired. A lack of reciprocation is an invitation to investigate new circles and find your people. You’ll RSVP and thrive. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s OK to make it all about you this week! You’ll catch a wave of excitement. There’s so much you love to do, you may not know where to start. Taking a moment to check in with the boss inside your head and prioritize your wants, needs and preferences will help you maximize your options and make the most of your time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The world stands aside to let you pass because you look like you know where you’re going. Maybe you do, maybe you don’t. You move with certainty anyway, and it helps others feel more certain. Your decisions necessitate and inspire their moves and countermoves. Confidence makes things fit and click. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re well aware that money doesn’t solve problems -- people do. Quick solutions happen when you have the funds to bring in the professionals. But if you don’t, it’s still possible to come up with a reason for people to pull together and help. When it’s important to you, you’ll be the best around at this, as you’re beloved. Also, people owe you! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There will be moments this week that you feel you could open your arms and love the entire world. Make sure you also pull your arms tightly around yourself, hugging your own constant, steadfast soul in appreciation for seeing you through the recent roller coasters. When you know you can count on yourself, the ride is a thrill. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In Egyptian hieroglyphs, the ear is a symbol used for imploring the gods to hear the prayers of mortals. If the ear were a letter in your alphabet, it would get a lot of play this week, as there’s much on your plate and you could use assistance from someone powerful who can make big things happen in excellent timing. Your needs will be addressed.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Wonderful scenarios are in store to the level that, if you’d told your younger self that you’d be having these experiences, that person would need to sit down or take a knee. And though it won’t be excitement all year long, the highlights will feel well deserved because you wake up every day and put the work into your various roles. You’ll streamline your various purposes so you can better focus on the one or two that matter most to you. Your vitality will surge and your relationships will thrive. COPYRIGHT 2023 CREATORS.COM

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t always feel that you’re extraordinary, and there are moments you wonder what contribution you could make that would matter. This is the humility that keeps you from making arrogant mistakes. Take it as a good sign of your humanity, then start building yourself up because you have too much to give to stay in that mode.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There was a time you got really fired up over a subject, and now you realize the attraction has faded, your curiosity flown away, and it’s too soon to know where it’s gone. Take the break. Trust that you’ll catch up to your curiosity and soon be passionately tangled into something new. Until then, savor the delicious pause.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

FOR RELEASE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2023

By Steve Becker

Test your play 1. You are West, and the bidding has gone: South West North East 1 NT Pass 2 NT Pass 3 NT NORTH ♠73 ♥K Q J ♦ Q J 10 8 ♣7 6 4 2 WEST ♠Q9862 ♥9 2 ♦K7 ♣A Q 8 3 You lead the six of spades, and declarer wins partner’s ten with the jack. South leads a heart to dummy’s jack and returns the queen of diamonds, which you win with the king. How would you continue? 2. You are declarer with the West hand at Six Notrump, and North leads the ten of hearts. How would you play the hand? WEST EAST ♠A742 ♠K6 ♥K J 3 ♥A Q 4 ♦AK4 ♦ Q 10 2 ♣K 9 5 ♣ A 10 8 7 6 ***

1. From the play thus far, it is clear that South’s opening notrump bid (15 to 17 points) included the ace of hearts, ace of diamonds and A-K-J of spades (your partner cannot have the ace or king of spades,

given his play at trick one). It follows that South cannot have the king of clubs, which would give him 19 points. You should therefore shift to the club three at this point, confident that partner will win with the king. If partner has another club to return, you will defeat the contract. If you fail to lead a club and instead woodenly return a spade, declarer will score three spade tricks, three diamond tricks and at least three hearts to make the contract. 2. The only problem is how to handle the clubs to give yourself the optimal chance for four tricks in the suit. Best is to win the heart in dummy, lead the club six and play low if South plays low. (If the six wins, continue with the seven.) If the six loses to North’s jack or queen, win any return and play the king of clubs. The slam becomes certain if North follows suit to the king. The only time this line of play fails is when North has been dealt the singleton jack or queen. If you alternatively attacked the clubs by first cashing the king or ace, you would go down if the next player was either void of clubs or held a low singleton. These cases outnumber those where North started with a singleton honor.

Should There Be Longer Term Limits? Glen Cove City Council discusses

Election Day,” Pergola said.

JENNIFER CORR

Also at the Meeting:

jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

he topic of having longer term limits for Glen Cove City Council members has been coming up during meetings. Glen Cove City Council candidate John Zozzaro approached the podium during a meeting on Oct. 24, the last meeting before the election on Nov. 7, to discuss the idea of longer term limits. Glen Cove Mayor Pam Panzenbeck said she and the City Council will be looking into amending the term limits, however, she does not feel comfortable voting on a policy that would benefit her. “I feel in a lot of ways that to extend term limtis really benefits a lot of us up here,” Panzenbeck said. “When you start talking about changing the terms of the mayor, the terms of the charter and things with the council, and people start talking about raising the salary of the mayor and the salary of the council, I’m uncomfortable with things like that. I don’t like to vote on things that specifically would be beneficial to me. We have not said we are not going to look into term limits.” According to the City of Glen Cove Charter, each officer, including the mayor, can be elected for the term of two years, including the first day of January succeeding his or her election and until the election and qualification of his or her successor. Councilman Jack Mancusi said he’d be open to hearing the case for a four-year mayoral term, but he has reservations about a four-year council term. “The reason I have that opinion is mostly from the public and my input that I get from the public,” Mancusi said. “It’s my opinion that the public does not favor increasing the terms. The phrase ‘term limits’ is getting thrown around tonight. What people are really talking about is ‘term extensions.’ Extending the terms. Right now we all have two-years terms. I’ve been on the record publicly before, and I’ll say it again, I’m open to the possibility of increasing the mayoral term to four years. I am against increasing the city council. I believe the city council should stay at two... However, if I am convinced that the electorate is overwhelmingly, or even substantially, is in favor of increasing the terms, my job is to represent the public, not to press my will into everybody else.” Panzenbeck said the council will create a committee or commission to study the issue of term limits. Glen Cove City Council candidate Theresa Pergola asked when there was going to be a public hearing on term limits. “We haven’t sat down to formally plan anything, but we will,” Panzenbeck said.

It’s not so simple, but maybe we’ll start out with an open meeting and get ideas as to what people will like.” Pergola pressed Panzenbeck on the issue, asking her if a hearing is going to be coming up soon. “I know Mr. Mancusi made his opinion clear, but he also said he has to do what the public wants, so in order to know what the public wants, you have to have a public hearing, and that’s been tabled,” Pergola said. “You said you were going to look into it, but it’s been several months.” Panzenbeck then explained that the issue wasn’t tabled, but the council just hasn’t looked into it yet. “Look, I realize everybody here is running for office and you all want to make your mark on something,” Panzenbeck said. “We have a lot of work going on, so we just don’t just sit here and do nothing and meet here once a week.” Pergola explained that longer terms are important, because more work could get done. In a term of only two years, much of it is spent campaigning for an election that

takes place every two years. “I sort of resent that,” Panzenbeck said. “I do not spend a lot of time campaigning. I am in the office from early in the morning until late at night.” Pergola made clear that she wasn’t accusing Panzenbeck of not working, rather that she is also campaigning. “You’re not campaigning right now, all of you?” Pergola addressed the mayor and the council. Pergola added, when asked by Mancusi, that the short term limits forces council and the mayor to work on the previous administration’s budget in the first year. “And then the next year you start getting petitions signed and everything in February and you’re campaigning through

The topic of The View Grill was also brought up at the Oct. 24 meeting. Jeanine DiMenna, the beloved owner of The View Grill at the Glen Cove Municipal Golf Course, has received much community support after it was announced that the City of Glen Cove released an RFP (Request for Proposal) as DiMenna’s term is set to expire in February. “The present operator’s term expires at the end of February and municipal law requires an RFP be issued,” Panzenbeck had written in a statement. “The current operator as well as any new applicants are encouraged to respond with their ideas to enhance this scenic venue. The Mayor and City Council will select a committee of city residents to review the responses and to provide evaluations for council consideration. A final award will then be determined by a vote of the Mayor and City Council. The RFP invites proposers to submit their ideas for renovating the existing facility known as The View while continuing restaurant service and improving catering capabilities.” Resident Mary Grace Cipriano asked for an update on the dates of meetings and interviews as part of the RFP process. “Jeanine’s employees are waiting to hear and they need to know because they need to be able to look for other employment if their employment at The View is not available to them,” Cipriano said. “Jeanine and Fred [DiMenna] can’t book any parties for the next year. My husband is going to be 50 next year and I want to have his party at The View and he’s not the only one,,, Is the vote going to be public? Is the public going to have a chance to hear you all vote on this? Is the vote going to be live streamed? Is it going to be in pre-council? Is it going to be in regular council?” Panzenbeck said that the council does not vote during pre-council, only during council meetings. “There was an issue with one of the proposals, more information was needed,” Panzenbeck said. “We allowed that person to provide more information... We are trying to be more than fair.” Panzenbeck said the vote for the future of The View Grill will take place at a council meeting after Election Day.

Teen Advisory Board Collects Donations For Servicemen The Glen Cove Public Library needs your help! The Teen Advisory Board of the Glen Cove Public Library is collecting donations for Glen Cove servicemen who are currently serving in the Navy, Marines, and Army. Care packages with personalized letters are cheerful reminders of how much we appreciate them. In these pictures, Youth Services Librarians, Anna and Phyllis, share great memories of how the Library first started participating in the Any Soldier Program in 2006. Over the years, Anna has maintained a keepsake box including many letters of appreciation from soldiers from all over the country. One particular newspaper clipping

reminds her of the importance of this program. In 2007, a New York Times photographer captured the first moments of soldiers kissing the ground upon returning home after a 15-month tour in Iraq. The soldiers were from the 10th Mountain Division from Fort Drum, NY, one of the recipients of the Library’s donations. The following items are needed by Monday, Nov. 20: Baby wipes, candy, socks (size 10+), underwear, deodorant, lip balm, floss, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, flash drives/thumb drives, microwave popcorn, laundry soap pods, dryer sheets, tea, coffee, and hot cocoa. Fun items are always welcome. —Submitted by the Glen Cove Public Library

Locust Valley Earns Grant To Grow Gardens In recognition of their ongoing commitment to providing students with handson learning opportunities, Locust Valley Central School District’s gardening club teachers recently received a $30,000 grant to continue the program. The grant was presented to the team of educators by Nassau County District 18 Legislator Josh Lafazan during the district’s Oct. 18 board of education meeting. After a presentation by the gardening instructors, Legislator Lafazan surprised the educators with the grant. The teachers and librarians have worked with groups like the Cornell University Cooperative Extension who have had representatives visit students throughout the district to help students better understand the gardening process. “I was blown away in learning about kids being closer to nature, kids learning about agriculture and kids learning to decompress outside the classroom,” Lafazan said. “Gardening is such an important measure in help with anxiety and depression in students and helping kids learn with their hands. This program is really remarkable.” For the past five years, the district’s school librarians have worked on the Learning Experience Academic Program or LEAP curriculum. Elementary school librarians Jennifer Farrell, Devon Gallagher, Anne Joyce and Stefanie Maura and middle

83 Days Preserves Memory Of A Tragic Injustice George Stinny Jr. was executed for a crime he did not commit. (Film

LAUREN FELDMAN

Lfeldman@antonmediagroup.com

efore Emmett Till, there was George Stinney Junior; an African American boy that was wrongly accused, convicted, and executed for a crime that he did not commit. But who was George, and why has his name been lost to so many of us? More importantly, why is it so crucial we remember him? In 1944 in Alcolu, South Carolina, a 14 year-old boy named George Stinney Junior was accused of murdering two white girls, Betty June Binnicker, age 11, and Mary Emma Thames, age 8. Pressured and coerced into offering a false confession, George was hurtled through the justice — or rather, injustice — system and sentenced to death by electric chair. He is the youngest person ever to be put to death this way. There were only 83 days from the time of his arrest to the day of his execution. Writer Ray Brown and Director Andrew Howell came together to tell George’s story, a collaboration resulting in 83 Days. This short film has featured in numerous film festivals since its completion in 2018, and just recently was nominated as a contender for both the Oscars and the NAACP Image Awards. In 2011, Brown was inspired by an article on social media which talked about

Stinney’s execution. When digging for more information, he was surprised by how unfamiliar the case was to him. “I was wondering why hadn’t I heard about this, since it’s not just African American history but U.S. history. He was the youngest person to be electrocuted in this country. And I decided in that moment it was a story that I wanted to tell.” Brown began the process of researching and writing just shy of 70 years since Stinney was put to death. Howell was brought on through a mutual friend. At the time, he was working on a mini series about the Tulsa Race Massacre. The pair met down in Atlanta to discuss what to do with Stinney’s story. “I was interested in making this into a short film,” he explained. “With the idea that we could potentially come back to it as a feature [film].” Through the mutual dedication of everyone involved, the film was put together in the span of a few months. “We started [pairing down] the script in March, and by June, we were in production,” Brown said. Howell added, “August was our first film festival screening.” Shooting the film took about three days. All-in-all, the team flowed and collaborated well. “It was a great match up,” Brown said. The film has been met with much acclaim

A jailmate tells George his story. since its first screening. The most common question the pair receive is who was actually responsible for the murders of Binnicker and Thames. And unfortunately, that is still a mystery to this day. Tales of a deathbed confession have run rampant in the decades since, stemming from a man of great influence in the town. But no legal action was ever taken to review the case until 2004 when a re-examination began. Stinney’s murder conviction was vacated in 2014, seventy years after he was executed, with a South Carolina court ruling that he had not received a fair trial, and was thus wrongfully executed. While vacated, Stinney was not exonerated, a substantial difference. A vacated judgment makes a previous legal judgment legally void. This differs from cases of exoneration, when the conviction for a crime

is reversed either through demonstration of innocence, or a flaw in the conviction. In this sense, the case against Stinney was thrown out, but there was no legal recognition of his innocence, nor the hasty, unsubstantiated claims used against him in court. According to Brown, “We discovered that [Stinney] was not only not guilty, but they didn’t have any evidence to support putting him to death.” Efforts to get Stinney exonerated by North Carolina were frequently delayed or refuted. “They were very reluctant to do that.” While the state vacated George’s sentence, they have yet to exonerate him legally or in spirit. The research and writing of the film script paved the way for Stinney’s vacation, and screenings have helped raise awareness for such an important historical event. As shown by audience responses, there is a rumbling anger over the injustice done to a victim of place, race, and time. You can now stream 83 Days at https:// 83days.vhx.tv/ for only 99 cents. All funds are currently redistributed to the cast and crew, many of whom worked entirely as volunteers to make this film possible. Residual funds will go towards making this story even more impactful as a feature film. Thank you for your support!
