TOP STORY

Tracking The Winds Of Change At Nassau Boulevard

A look at the architecture, sabotage, and weathervanes in station’s history JANET BURNS jburns@antonmediagroup.com

s this series, on the history and art of our area’s train stations, has been exploring, Nassau County’s depots are bustling with stories as well as travelers. Nassau Boulevard Station on the Long Island Rail Road is certainly no exception. The classic brick building was first erected in 1907, featuring wide eaves and a cupola roof. At the time, the station was adjacent to and erected by a village known as Garden City Estates, which merged into the Village of Garden City nearly a decade later. According to documentation from the period, the station was originally next to not only a stately approach for cars and buggies, but across from an area of trellised gardens. In the 2000s, the station and its building were renovated, with safety and accessibility upgrades, but the building itself has remained mostly unchanged. If cupolas could talk, the one at Nassau Boulevard Station might recall how, one hundred and one years ago, men reportedly showed up in the night to sabotage the tracks as part of a large and vicious labor dispute. An August 7, 1922, The Evening Tribune reported that “sabotage on the electrified lines” on the thenLong Island Railroad had occurred the previous day, wherein “seven attempts mere made to wreck trains and cripple the service by tearing up sections of live third rail.” According to the newspaper, police and railroad officials said that strikers or strike sympathizers were responsible for the damage, which they described as “skillful tampering by men highly versed in handling electric currents.” The incident occurred during what historians now refer to as the Great Railroad Strike of 1922, when railroad workers across the country participated in tense labor disputes. The Tribune described the Long Island sabotage, which

occurred opposite Country Life Press Station and between Nassau Boulevard and Garden City Stations, as being “viewed by some as the most vicious attack on railroad property in the United States since the shopmen’s strike started July 1.” That summer and fall, police as well as private railroad guards would patrol stations around the country, including on Long Island, seeking to prevent sabotage by striking workers. Striking workers and their supporters around the country, meanwhile, suffered their fair share of casualties, including vandalism of their homes (on company property or otherwise), kidnappings, violence in response to rallies, and the shooting death of numerous people in several states by armed guards. At the time, the Tribune seemed to condemn the strike, but, to be fair, it also ran an article on August 7, 1922 about how the

American Federation of Musicians in Asheville, North Carolina had banned “‘jazz’ music” as part of a “movement for better music.” More than seven decades and numerous significant labor disputes (and substantial gains) later, the station house at Nassau Boulevard offers a reminder of how time and society always chug forward, and occasionally need to change tracks, or at least stop for a tune-up. For example, local historian and retired LIRR branch line manager David Morrison recalled to Nassau Illustrated News how back in 1998 he placed an order for two trainshaped weathervanes, to be placed at Islip and Nassau Boulevard Stations, for around $200 each (2023 price: nearly $400 each). The memorial weathervane on Islip’s cupola had fallen off the roof, Morrison explained, was “rescued” by Don Konrad, and is now on display at the Railroad Museum of Long Island.

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS Family And Friends Rededicate Magnolia Tree In Memory Of Donna Varvaro Under a bright sun, friends, family and Garden City classmates gathered on the Library lawn Saturday afternoon to rededicate a magnolia tree in memory of Donna Varvaro, who passed away unexpectedly at age 14. Donna grew up on St. James Street South, and was the oldest of Shirley and Larry Varvaro’s two children. Her brother, Paul, was two years younger. She loved reading and writing poetry. Donna also loved to write captivating stories. Not surprisingly, the Garden City Public Library was one of her three favorite stops on the walk home after the school day had ended from what was then the Garden City Junior High School (now Garden City Middle School). When Donna passed away, her classmates lobbied then-Mayor Dan Duff and staff at the Garden City Public Library for a memorial plaque and magnolia tree planting. It was such a fitting tribute at the place Donna loved. The tree was planted on the front lawn and dedicated in 1974. When age and decay set in on the original tree in that same spot, Donna’s classmates started a fund for a new magnolia tree. In less than three weeks, it became a continuation of what was started so many years ago - a memorial tree in Donna’s name. “Today we celebrate the next phase, ‘The Second Life’ as it were, as we rededicate another beautiful young Magnolia tree to the Village of Garden City at the Garden City Public Library,” said

resident Bill Lucano, co-chair of the Class of ’77 Committee that helped organize the ceremony. Co-chair Deirdre Orr, who did not attend the ceremony due to a previous engagement, was instrumental in fundraising efforts to purchase the new tree. Musician John Schoch acoustically performed soft rock tunes on his guitar as people gathered for the ceremony, including Donna’s family, friends and classmates, including Rob Reid, Mike Kollman (GCHS ’77), Thomas Brosnan and Steven Rudolph (GCHS ’77), who spoke at the ceremony. Village Trustee Bruce Torino, liaison to the Library, said, “As Donna wrote, the sun was high and so was the heart. It is so fitting that today, late in the season, it is warm enough for us to be out here, and the sun is shining on her. The Library is a special place to plant a tree so that all can see and all can remember just like the books in the Library that teach us about history and keep memories alive, it’s a fitting tribute for her to be here with us forever.” Library Director Marianne Malagon thanked Donna’s classmates for the gift. “Donna’s friends and classmates rallied around her and her memory and brought it back to life. It will live on in the community for years to come and help people to remember Donna,” she said. Ms. Malagon further acknowledged Library Board Chair Randy Colahan, Library Trustee Mary Maguire and members of the

Village Board of Trustees for their support, and personnel from the Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments for their assistance in beautifying the Library grounds in preparation for the event. Others in attendance included Library Assistant Director Ralph Guiteau and Garden City Deputy Mayor Bruce Chester, who personally thanked Mr. Lucano, noting his steadfast commitment to any given project, Parks and Recreation Commissioner Paul Blake and his staff, as well as Public Works Superintendent John Borroni and his staff for their assistance. — Submitted by the Garden City Public Library and the Village of Garden City

‘Celebrating Grasslands’ Symposium And The Importance Of Grasslands

n Thursday, October 26, the North Shore Land Alliance and partner organizations held a symposium dedicated to the work occurring on Long Island to protect what grasslands remain locally and ways we can bring back these critical landscapes. The event at the Barn at Old Westbury Gardens included a keynote address by Dwayne Estes, executive director and co-founder of the Southeast Grasslands Initiative, professor of Biology, and director of the Austin Peay State University Herbarium. He discussed the fascinating but untold story of how Long Island’s grasslands, like the Hempstead Plains, connect to other grassy ecosystems of the eastern U.S. A second keynote program was delivered by Rob Longiaru, habitat director, Friends of Hempstead Plains, who spoke about the history of the Hempstead Plains, whose existing acreage is home to 250 species of plants, including six state endangered species. It is a storehouse of genetic resources, a cherished part of Nassau County’s heritage and a globally significant natural asset. The afternoon of this full-day program provided opportunities for attendees to visit some of the project sites that had been introduced during the morning panels, including Caumsett State Park, Greentree

With the decline of grasslands, we are also losing crucial native wildlife and plants, essential parts of our local ecosystems. In addition to providing wildlife habitat and aesthetic values, grasslands significantly lessen climate change impacts. While only a few pockets of grassland remain here in the U.S. and worldwide, they support enormous biodiversity. In addition, grasslands play a major role in ameliorating climate change impacts. Grasses’ deep, hairy roots remove carbon from the atmosphere, storing it underground in a mass of organic matter. As our symposium attendees learned, individuals can take essential steps to do their part, like planting warm-season native grasses, milkweed and other wildflowers. Maintaining grasslands is an example of how our thoughtful stewardship of open space can conserve a critical landscape that benefits native plants and wildlife while (Courtesy of North Shore Land Alliance) protecting our water supply and treasured Foundation, Hempstead Plains, Humes to Suffolk County and were filled with various access to beautiful natural areas for our Preserve, Shore Road Sanctuary and William colorful wildflowers, birds and insects.

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

AMANDA OLSEN

aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

SCHOOL NEWS HERRICKS HIGH SCHOOL DEDICATES YEAR’S FIRST CONCERT TO FARMINGDALE MUSIC DEPARTMENT On Oct. 25, the Herricks High School Tri-M Honor ensembles dedicated their first concert of the school year to the Farmingdale Music Department, whose members are still reeling from the tragic loss of their beloved band director Gina Pellettiere. The Herricks High School Chamber Choir (Louise O’Hanlon, Director), Chamber Orchestra (Catherine Birke, Director) and Wind Ensemble (Scott Stickley, Director) performed poignant compositions that showcased the students’ musical precision and expertise along with their steadfast solidarity and hope for healing with their fellow musicians. At the concert, the Tri-M students gave out hand-cut music-themed stickers with every donation. All proceeds from the fundraiser were donated to the Farmingdale High School music department to provide scholarships for students to attend summer band camp. The district is proud of our students who not only showed off their musical talent, but more importantly, displayed their generous spirit filled with empathy and compassion for our neighbors in need. — Submitted by Herricks Public Schools

ld Westbury residents and neighbors look forward to the Fall Dog Festival and Pet Parade at Old Westbury Gardens for a good reason. The annual event, featuring doggie vendors and animal advocacy organizations plus a costume contest and parade (with prizes), offers some of the best foliage-viewing and dog-watching in our area as part of a fun, dog-friendly weekend at the Gardens. This year’s Festival and Parade, held on Sunday, November 5 (postponed from October due to weather) were no exception, with dozens of attendees showing off their furry friends and their creativity. As ever, there were also some show-stealing group ensembles. Here at Anton Media Group, we’re already looking forward to next year’s event!

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a dog flying a plane, and his crew, winning first prize!

Nassau County To Host 2024 Cricket World Cup The International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Men’s T20 World Cup will be coming to Nassau County’s Eisenhower Park in June 2024 – marking the first time that this event has been contested anywhere in the United States. The Legislature recently approved contracts that will clear the way for the construction of a temporary cricket stadium on a portion of Field 6’s 19 acres, as well as two adjacent practice fields. The temporary stadium will also have a media center, fan zone, VIP pavilion, concession and merchandise stands, as well as restrooms. Parking will be located at Eisenhower Park and other nearby County properties with free shuttle service to and from the stadium. T20 USA will fund all costs associated with this event, including, but not exclusive to construction costs. The organization will also finance police, fire, medical, and other EMS costs and expenses, as well as for County DPW and Parks personnel for all six matches that will be played at Eisenhower Park during the tournament. With an estimated 2.5 billion fans around the world, cricket only trails soccer in consideration for the world’s most popular sport., and only the Olympics and World

Cup soccer garner more viewers worldwide than the Cricket World Cup. “Nassau County has so much to offer visitors with its variety of hotels, restaurants, and shopping. Paired with Nassau County’s vibrant Asian-American Pacific Islander

and Caribbean communities, it is especially gratifying that the ICC selected Eisenhower Park to host this major event,” Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton said. “Cricket is such a fascinating and fast-moving game, and I believe that hosting this event in Nassau County will be a boon for our economy and cultivate greater interest in playing the sport because the matches are taking place here.” The June 2024 tournament will follow other U.S.-based tournament games taking place in Florida and Texas. Breakdown of the temporary facility is expected to be completed by July 31, 2024. Eisenhower Park is the crown jewel of Nassau County’s parks system and boasts more than 900 acres filled with ball fields, trails, open areas, an indoor pool, golf course, playgrounds, and more. Contact Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton’s office at 516-571-6211 or dderiggiwhitton@nassaucountyny.gov with questions about the tournament or any other topics. —Submitted by the Office of Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton

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 the vacation of Stinney’s sentence, 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!
