North Hempstead Approves Budget For 2024 JULIE PRISCO & AMANDA OLSEN jprisco@antonmediagroup.com aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

espite the Town of North Hempstead’s budget vote delays, the town has approved the 2024 budget of $163.9 Million at the Tuesday, Nov. 14 board meeting. The town board was initially set to vote on the budget at a special meeting on Thursday, Nov. 2. The meeting was adjourned after it was revealed that an incorrect document containing budget amendments had been presented to the public the night before the meeting. The incorrect document was replaced with the corrected document that contained material changes on the morning of the meeting, resulting in a violation of the State’s legal requirements necessitating 24 hours of advanced notice. While an error like this so close to election day raised suspicions, it appears to have been an honest mistake. The team working on the budget had been working hard for months to assemble the documents. When four amendments with updates and corrections needed to be added, the team sent out those documents to the town board staff days before the meeting and posted them online for the public to view before the 24 hours of advanced notice. Unfortunately, on the morning of the meeting, the team realized the wrong documents had been posted and quickly posted the corrected version. The board made the difficult yet correct choice to table the rest of the items on the meeting agenda and reconvene at a later date to follow the 24-hour advanced notice requirement. “Even if it was a penny, I personally do not feel comfortable. So I don’t want to vote on it tonight,” said Councilmember Mariann Dalimonte. “[The team] has been working very hard on this budget. We’ll figure out what we need to do,” said Councilmember Veronica Lurvey. It’s been a long-standing tradition to vote on the budget before Election Day in the Town of North Hempstead. To try and keep with the town’s tradition, the board tried to find a day between Nov. 2 and Nov. 7 that would allow the 24 hours of advanced notice for the public to view the correct documents while also picking a day that the entire board would be in attendance. In a press release from Councilmember Lurvey, she said, “This unforeseen turn of events has understandably caused frustra-

tion and concern among board members and residents, who were eagerly awaiting the resolution of the budget matters. The town board has taken swift action to rectify the situation and ensure that the budget process is conducted with transparency and in adherence to the State’s legal regulations.” Supervisor Jennifer DeSena picked Monday, Nov. 6 at 8 p.m. to host the budget meeting. Due to Councilmember Robert Troiano’s position on the Nassau County Board of Elections, this day didn’t work for him and he was unable to attend. “I believe it is imperative that all Councilmembers be present for this hearing,” said Councilmember Peter Zuckerman. Councilmembers Zuckerman, Lurvey and Dalimonte chose to abstain from the vote due to all board members not being present. Councilmembers Dennis Walsh and David Adhami and Supervisor DeSena voted aye. “What we do here, voting on the town board, is probably the most important thing we do here as board members,” said Supervisor DeSena. “We’re all here, we all made adjustments to our schedules because it has been the tradition of this town for I believe ten years, that we vote on the budget before election day so the residents know where we stand on the budget.” Due to differing opinions between the present board members, the meeting was adjourned abruptly after eight minutes and the budget was not voted on. The town board was forced to make the tough decision to vote on the budget after Election Day, breaking a long-standing tradition of voting on it before Election Day.

At the Tuesday, Nov. 14 board meeting the tabled budget items were voted on and passed. Although Councilmember Trioano was not present for that meeting either, the budget was due soon, and the town board made the decision to pass the budget. Supervisor DeSena assured that all the previous updates and corrections were officially added to the budget at the Nov. 14 meeting now that they had been available for residents to view well over the 24 hours of advanced notice requirement. Councilmember Lurvey’s press release stated, “Despite this setback, the Democratic members of the Town Board have successfully restored crucial Quality of Life amendments that had been previously removed by the Supervisor, which include

TOP STORY

funding for road repaving, sidewalk repairs, tree maintenance, and the continuation of the Manhasset Bay oyster project. These measures underscore their commitment to the betterment of the community and the enhancement of its residents’ living standards.” After the budget vote, Supervisor DeSena provided Anton Media Group with the following statement, “Upon taking office, I made a promise to the residents of North Hempstead that I would immediately get to work putting taxpayers first and make Town government more accountable to its residents. During my first term, I have delivered on a good government agenda that has provided taxpayer relief, enhanced quality of life and public safety, investments in infrastructure, newly instituted municipal reforms, and boosted government transparency measures. Now that we have officially passed the 2024 budget, I am very proud that my administration has cut taxes for the second year in a row, delivering millions of dollars more in relief for the taxpayers of North Hempstead.” According to the tentative budget, it allocates $91.9 million to the General Fund. The General Fund is the town’s principal operating fund. The revenues and expenses for departments whose operations service all town residents, both within the Incorporated Villages and the unincorporated areas, are recorded in the General Fund. A press release from Supervisor DeSena states that the 2024 tentative budget will cut town taxes by 10 percent. “In addition to cutting taxes, due to smart and efficient management of Town finances, DeSena announced that her administration is projecting to end the year with a nearly $2 million surplus.” To view the Town of North Hempstead’s 2024 tentative budget, visit northhempsteadny.gov/tonh-budgets

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS New Trees for Village of Munsey Park The Village of Munsey Park is proud to announce that it is scheduled to plant several specimen trees throughout the Village during the 2023 planting season (which runs from the first frost in Autumn, 2023 through April, 2024). The first such tree – a Little-leaf Linden Tilia cordata ”Greenspire” donated by Tony DiStefano Landscaping and Garden Center in Roslyn, was planted on October 18, 2023 in Copley Pond Park. The Littleleaf Linden is a medium-sized deciduous ornamental shade tree with glossy broad leaves that turn a bright yellow during fall foliage. This new tree will be sure to impress all visitors to the Park. This planting is a continuation of the multi-year efforts of the Board of Trustees to restore the tree canopy in the Village with a diversity of specimen trees, including oaks, maples, elms, beeches and other specimen varieties. Residents interested in having a tree planted along the Charles “Drew” Miller with newly planted Village right-of-way should contact Village Linden tree, at Copley Pond Park.

Saint Mary’s School Food Drive On November 6th, St. Mary’s High School students participated in the Parish Social Ministry Thanksgiving Food Drives. After school, over a dozen students went to the Good Samaritan House on Campus and received donations from parishioners and members of the community. Students then assisted the Social Ministry Office in stocking the shelves, checking expiration dates, and putting together donation bags for those who are in need. —From the Saint Mary’s High School Facebook

Women’s Club Of Flower Hill Sock Drive The Women’s Club of Flower Hill is sponsoring a sock drive called “No Bare Feet November” this holiday season. They are asking for donations to keep less fortunate neighbors warm this winter. Their goal is to try and collect 100 pairs of socks. Donated socks will be distributed to those in need by One Love Outreach. The Club is collecting new socks in men’s, women’s, and kids’ sizes. Socks may be dropped off in the box marked “SOCK DROP” at 97 Dogwood, Manhasset, NY. Socks must be new and unworn.

Town Officials Join St. Francis Hospital For Annual Flag Ceremony

Manhasset Lakeville Fire Department News On November 11, all MLFD companies were alerted to a possible house fire in the Munsey Park section of #manhasset. While in route, the first arriving chiefs were notified that the Nassau County police department was on scene requesting a forthwith response for a working fire. Units arrived on scene moments later and found smoke venting from the 2nd floor of the home. A “Signal 10” was transmitted and the Port Washington Fire Department company 1 also responded to the scene to standby as a FAST Team. Ultimately 2 hose lines were stretched, and 1 operated to extinguish the fire. There were no injuries at scene. —From the Manhasset Lakeville FD Facebook)

Keeping Your Packages Town Board Summary And Deliveries Safe AMANDA

assau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Police Commissioner Patrick J. Ryder would like to take this opportunity to advise residents how to keep your packages and deliveries safe from “Porch Pirates”. With the holiday season upon us, many people are doing shopping online and having packages shipped to their homes. Unfortunately, this presents a perfect opportunity for thieves to steal packages that are left unattended outside your home. Here are some tips on how you can protect yourself: When selecting shipping options, choose one that requires you to sign for delivery. In most cases, if you aren’t at home when a delivery is attempted, you can either pick up your packages in person or schedule a delivery for a time when you are able to receive it. Track your delivery online. Check your package’s delivery status, its estimated delivery time and try to be home when it arrives. Leave a note asking the delivery service to leave the package with a trusted neighbor. With many people working remotely from home, it’s possible a neighbor could be home during the day to receive your

At the Town of North Hempstead board meeting on November 14, a number of people spoke during the comment period on issues that concern our area. Here is a summary of those comments. The first speaker addressed the feral cat issue in the town. This is a recurring topic of discussion for the public comment period. It was brought up multiple times at this meeting.

The second resident was concerned about posters depicting kidnapped Israeli children from the ongoing conflict with Hamas that are on display on public land near Herricks Middle School. The individual was requesting the posters be removed. The third speaker also discussed feral cats, stating that a policeman found kittens and could not place them in a shelter because there is no cat shelter in the Town of North Hempstead. They also stated that cats are being abandoned at a local farm. The fourth resident stated that the traffic on Cow Neck Road in Port Washington is making it difficult for them to get out of their driveway and requested an illuminated stop sign. Councilmember Dalimonte replied, stating that while Cow Neck Road is a county road and therefore the board cannot place a stop sign there, she would help them get in touch with the mayor of their village and their county representative. The final speaker also wanted to discuss the feral cats, asking for clarifications on funding and the Town’s response to the ongoing issue. Councilmembers Dalimonte and Lurvey both addressed the budget and Supervisor DeSena said there would be further discussion outside the public comment period.

governors to the White House. In 1919, he petitioned the state of Washington to designate the fourth Saturday in September as

an “Indian holiday.” Also in 1915, the Congress of the American Indian Association, meeting in Lawrence, Kansas, directed its President, the Reverend Sherman Coolidge, an Arapaho minister, to call upon the nation to observe a day for American Indians. On September 18, 1915, he issued a proclamation declaring the second Saturday of each May as “American Indian Day” and appealing for U.S. citizenship for American Indians. In 1924, Congress enacted the Indian Citizenship Act, extending citizenship to all U.S.-born American Indians not already covered by treaties or other federal agreements that granted such status. The act was later amended to include Alaska Natives. The first American Indian Day in a state was declared on the second Saturday in May 1916 by Charles S. Whitman, then governor of New York.

Several states celebrate on the fourth Friday in September. In Illinois, for example, legislators enacted such a day in 1919. Columbus Day has now been federally recognized as Indigenous People’s Day. In 1990 President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November 1990 “National American Indian Heritage Month.” Similar proclamations, under variants on the name (including “Native American Heritage Month” and “National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month”) have been issued each year since 1994. So, what is an appropriate way to recognize Native American Heritage Month? Marisa Page at FirstNations.org states that “In November and all year, (a) way to make a difference for Native communities is to recognize the myths and misconceptions surrounding Native Americans and take active steps to gain a more

Heritage Month accurate understanding and share that truth with others.” “By recognizing these existing narratives, people can enact strategies to shift these beliefs in everything from how stories are told and how people are portrayed, to how children are taught and how decision-makers are informed. The result: Greater social justice and increased collaboration with Native American peoples in all aspects of society.” As we gather at the end of this month, consider reflecting on these 10 directives from FirstNations.org that are often referenced in Native American works as commandments or actions to guide behavior: • Treat the Earth and all that dwell therein with respect • Remain close to the Great Spirit • Show great respect for your fellow beings • Work together for the benefit of all Mankind • Give assistance and kindness

wherever needed • Do what you know to be right • Look after the well-being of Mind and Body • Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater Good • Be truthful and honest at all times • Take full responsibility for your actions. (Editor’s Note: In researching this article about Native American Heritage Month, it is worth noting that I scrolled through many Google results before I found one that wasn’t a .gov website. The US government seems invested in promoting this as a “traditional” time to learn about, and celebrate with, Native peoples. However, many of those people view this as a traumatic time of year.)

Common Thanksgiving Hazards And

Thanksgiving is a time for celebration and togetherness, but the approaching

“W

ith the risks posed by the COVID-cold-flu season and the typical hazards associated with holiday festivities, ensuring a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving should be your top priority,” says Dr. Michael Green, associate medical director at Northwell HealthGoHealth Urgent Care. Dr. Green shared his top tips so you can enjoy your holiday while also staying safe. Here are the top six recommendations:

Treating a cooking burn:

Cooking-related house fires reach an all-time high on Thanksgiving Day. The risk of a fire seems dangerous enough, but the holiday also offers plenty of opportunities to burn yourself. So how do you assess and treat a burn? First, run the burned area under lukewarm or cool water (not icy cold, as this can cause more damage) for 10 to 15 minutes, and then check the burn for size and color. Most cooking-related burns can be treated with soothing creams like aloe and over-the-counter pain medications. But immediate medical care should be sought for burns larger than 1-2 inches, those in a really sensitive area, or charred

skin that’s white, brown, leathery or shiny.

Don’t rinse a raw turkey:

Many people think rinsing a turkey before they cook it will wash away harmful bacteria that poultry can contain. However, this practice causes bacteria-containing droplets to splash across the sink, cooking surfaces, utensils, and nearby food, contaminating the entire kitchen. Instead, pat your turkey with a paper towel before cooking, and then wash your hands with soap and water.

Quickly put away your leftovers: Bacteria like salmonel-

Know your knife safety protocols: More than 1/3 of

la and Clostridium perfingens – the so-called “buffet germ” that grows at room temperature – will give you tummy trouble. Cook your turkey and stuffing to at least 1650 F and keep food at 1400 or warmer or 400 or cooler if it’s not being eaten right away. Consider making your stuffing outside the bird for an even safer option. If you suspect food poisoning, drink lots of fluids, including electrolytes.

How To Avoid Them

holiday also comes with potential hazards the kitchen. Protect your fingers by using sharp knives, as dull blades require more pressure to cut. Curl your fingers and cut away from your body when trimming or deboning. Keep your knives off counters and out of sinks by washing and storing them immediately.

Sick-season protocols:

Health professionals expect an uptick in cases of COVID-19, influenza, and the common cold this holiday season. Consider putting protocols in place such as checking COVID and flu vaccine statuses. You can also request guests take rapid COVID-19 tests in advance of attendance. If your group has any high-risk individuals, you can consider even more rigorous testing protocols like PCR tests available at Northwell Health-GoHealth centers. Ask guests to screen themselves for any cold, flu or COVID symptoms and stay home even if symptoms are mild. Remind your guests to practice safe hygiene by washing their hands regularly. The rule always bears repeating: wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after touching your eyes, nose or mouth, prepping food, eating a meal, and using the restroom.

Prep before you play:

An afternoon of backyard football is a common Thanksgiving tradition. As a result, health professionals see an uptick in pulled muscles, sprained ankles, and broken bones. The best defenses are to exercise regularly throughout the year, avoid alcohol before the game, and stretch and warm up your body before engaging in intense play. Strains and sprains are the types of injuries better seen at Northwell HealthGoHealth than at your ER. “This Thanksgiving, let’s come together to celebrate safely and responsibly,” said Dr. Green. “But unexpected injuries happen, which is why our centers remain open on holidays.” If you do experience a Thanksgiving injury, some of our centers will stay open till 8pm on Thanksgiving to accommodate patients. Northwell Health-GoHealth operates 59 conveniently located centers across New York so you don’t have to travel far to be seen by a great provider if an illness or injury does occur. Because Northwell Health-GoHealth is integrated with Northwell Health, referrals to specialists are seamless when necessary.

Somehow We Consumers Can’t Get A Break I love old movies. Currently Hollywood produces a few good ones, but they don’t compare to the Burt Lancaster, Gary Cooper, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn or Jack Nicholson performances. Three recent developments in the business world made me think about Kirk Douglas when he performed in the Oliver Stone movie Wall Street. His most quotable scene was the one in which he told his breathless audience that “greed is good.” No matter what you do in your daily life you are the victim of corporate greed. Let’s start with the pharmacy industry. At this very moment the industry is battling efforts by the Biden administration to lower the cost of various prescription drugs. The president had great success in dramatically reducing the cost of

INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer

insulin for diabetics which impacts over ten million people, who are desperately in need of this drug. I could single out dozens of other medications that are dramatically overpriced.

In our country’s history, there has never been a strike by pharmacy workers, but there will be one in the very near future. In an effort to cut costs and make bigger profits, pharmacy companies are failing to hire enough staff to adequately help the public. The suburbs may be luckier, but pharmacies in big cities are understaffed and under great pressure to provide prescription services. Rather than hire more staff, the big companies are suggesting that employees stop answering telephone calls so they can get prescriptions filled. My next big peeve is the airline industry. I recently flew to and back from Austin, Texas after attending a family event. I was amazed how uncomfortable it was for the average coach passenger. The airlines have taken away any available legroom and replaced

them with seating that is unbearable. There was no Wi-Fi available to keep you distracted from your misery, even though it was announced that Wi-Fi would be free. The good news was that you were eligible for a free package of pretzels and either a soft drink or a cup of water. Moving away from the airlines, the next place where the consumer gets ripped off is at the supermarkets. The spike in costs started during the pandemic and continues to this day. Major food companies are declaring record profits based on overly inflated food prices. The average citizen blames it on the politicians, but the real culprits are the big corporations that have a captive customer. Kirk Douglas told us that “greed is good”, but the average consumer will strongly disagree.

Another Year of Giving Thanks Growing up as a kid in an Italian family, every Thanksgiving landed us at Grandma’s house surrounded by Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. Traditional Italian Thanksgiving feasts included courses of antipasto, lasagna, and turkey soup before the actual turkey. There was a football game, breaks between courses for Uncles to nap, and turkey sandwiches to be had after rounds of fruit platters, nuts, coffee, and Italian pastries. As my generation of Baby Boomers aged and began hosting our own Thanksgiving celebrations, the extravagant feasts were reduced to big meals, eliminating most pre- and post-turkey courses. We also started a tradition of going around the table asking each other what they were thankful for. The adults in the room were mostly thankful for being healthy, wishful for World peace, or being happily employed. While I’m sure everyone spoke from their heart, I always questioned their truthfulness. It sounded like they were auditioning to become a contestant at the next Miss USA Beauty Pageant. This year, I propose that those of us identifying what we are thankful for in 2023 be

LONG ISLAND LIVING Paul DiSclafani pdisco23@aol.com

more truthful. Here’s a quick list of things I’m grateful for in 2023. Streaming Services: Although they entice you to subscribe with low monthly rates under $10, there are so many different streaming services it begins to add up. That said, I challenge anyone to think of something they would like to watch on TV that you can’t find on one of these services. They’ve created a new level of laziness called binge-watching. Reclining/Reserved Seating in Movie Theatres: Remember the hassle of seeing a popular movie? Although you bought a ticket, you never knew where you might

end up sitting or if you would find seats together until you walked into the theatre. Today, you not only reserve your seats (like at a ballgame), but with comfy reclining seats (and depending on the length of the movie), you can even catch a few zzz’s. The act of “saving seats” is now extinct. Not having ever to make an excuse for not going into NYC again: I can’t tell you how many times I made an excuse to skip going into “The City” to see a pricy Broadway Show or dinner with a costly plate of spaghetti and meatballs. Thanks to all the crime and daily mayhem of NYC 2023, I just tell people I’m scared. Urgent Care Centers: Gone are the days of physicians making house calls. However, in 2023, you can just pop into one of the many Urgent Care facilities sprouting up like 7-11s. They take X-rays, prescribe medication, and tell you to go to the ER if things are really bad; no appointment is necessary. Every game of every sports team I root for is available on TV: I used to love attending live sporting events and spending a small fortune in the process. For many years, I endured

all the hassles of attending the game – getting there (and back), dealing with inclement weather, and rude, obnoxious people. Mostly, with the tickets I could afford, I sat in the Upper Deck. Today, I relax in front of my 60-inch TV in a comfy chair and enjoy every pitch, error, interception, touchdown, goal, or fight in High Definition with ten replays of every play. Although I miss the excitement of being at the live event, I still hope to attend a few live sporting events in the future. Until then, where did I put that remote? Recording TV Shows With a DVR: Long gone are the days of programming your VCR to tape your favorite shows when you couldn’t watch them “live.” Too many times, I sat down to watch Melrose Place in the ‘90s, only to find out I recorded something else on a different channel at a different time. The DVR records what you want, when you want at the touch of a button, then saves it until you delete it. No more searching for (or buying) blank tapes. It’s a beautiful thing. Have a great day of giving thanks, dear readers!

Managing Strong Emotions You just got home from a long day at work. You’re looking forward to ordering in and spending some time on the couch watching TV. A few moments later your partner comes rushing through the door, looking frantic. Your partner notes that they forgot to tell you that they invited their boss and his family over for dinner and only remembered when their boss mentioned it at the end of the day. While you’d normally be happy about company and excited to host, this was not in your plan. You’re angry and frustrated, and these emotions hit you like a ton of bricks. You are also experiencing a lot of anxiety in trying to figure out how you will pull this all off in such a short amount of time. You know that you will have a conversation with your partner about better communication and planning later this evening or early tomorrow. Right now, you need a way to process the emotions that are coming up in an effective way.

Ride the wave of the emotion. This technique comes from

activity such as yoga or going a walk for a short time. You can also engage in a sensory exercise, such as listening to music or progressive muscle relaxation.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and involves experiencing the emotion, which can come in waves. If you were to put up walls or block the emotion, it would only become more intense and potentially be too much to handle down the road. While being in, or riding out your emotions can certainly be challenging, it enables you to experience them and to feel the impact of them. It may be helpful to redirect your attention for a short period of time as the physiological arousal you’re experiencing dissipates. Redirecting your attention may involve engaging in a pleasant

Do the opposite. Also from DBT, another approach is engaging in the opposite action. Your instinct in this scenario may be to lash out at your partner for the short notice, note that this is now their problem, and head out, slamming the door behind you. While this may give temporary cathartic relief, it not only will not solve the problem, but may increase the tension between you and your partner. Instead, do the opposite. Approach your partner, come up with a game plan together, and get to work prepping. Sure, it’s not what you wanted to do tonight, but you are

channeling the physiological energy of your emotions into something else entirely opposite, which is also helping you prepare for the guests. You may be surprised that as you approach the task of preparing a meal, it’s not as daunting as you initially anticipated, or that you’re making progress with your partner’s help faster than you thought, leading

to a reduction in your anger and frustration. No matter which approach you take, having a calm and collected conversation with your partner at a later time is a must. However, in the moment, it is important to practice an effective coping technique so that you can manage the task at hand as a team.

BY LAUREN FELDMAN

lfeldman@antonmediagroup.com

Wintertime and cooler weather often brings out our desire to get cozy. It is no wonder that purchases for yarn, knitting and crocheting projects spike in the Fall, and continue through the new year. But those new to crafting might feel overwhelmed by their options, and seasoned crafters might find themselves bored or underwhelmed by their usual sweaters, hats or scarves. Enter a fun, easy craft that you can literally spend a year on; the temperature blanket.

had no idea what temperature blankets were until a few years ago when I got back into crocheting. I was seeing these colorful rainbow blankets all over my social media feeds, and was curious; what was this trend? Why were people making them? A temperature blanket is a blanket that you crochet (or knit) one row on every day in the color coordinating with the outside temperature. Generally, you start on them in January and finish in December. At the end of the year, you have a visual reflection of the previous 365 days, as well as a cozy blanket to keep you warm the following season. You can think of a temperature blanket as a yarn-journal that chronicles the daily high or low temperature for your area over the course of the year.

Step Two: Picking Your Colors

Temperature blankets are synonymous with a rainbow color pallet. Why? Well aside from being an easy color pattern to follow, the colorway was popularized because it mimics the way weather channels show changes in temperature throughout the year. However, when picking your colors, there is no requirement to “go rainbow”. Your color choice should spark joy and feel like you!

You will need to stick with the temperature ranges will be. You’ll base same colors throughout the year, however, so your number of ranges off of the weather make sure you have enough of each color, or in your area. The first step to this is to pick that you will be able to order more skeins if if you will be doing your daily temperature you run out. based off of the high or low temperature The number of colors is also important.

You can also average your daily recommend a minimum of eight colors, and high and low temperature, although a maximum of twelve, so that you will see this might impact how often your colors lots of color changes throughout the year, but change. not be overwhelmed with switching colors As a New Yorker, I felt the best range of out every day. temperatures would be from 20 degrees to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. I created a Step Three: Picking table breaking these down into 10-degree Your Pattern phases, which meant I would need eight Once you have your yarn colors chosen, different colors of yarn.

Holiday Gift Guide BY JULIE PRISCO

jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

For The Pet Parent: Pet Portraits

hen buying gifts this holiday season, think outside the box. Skip the classic fuzzy robe for your sister and the patterend tie for your uncle. This year, narrow down your loved one’s favorite hobbies and look into something unique to enhance their favorite activities. Instead of buying a the newest trendy water bottle for your friend who stays hydrated, think about buying a dual water bottle and cell phone holder, so they can be hands-free on the go. Or, instead of buying a gift card to your loved one’s favorite book store, look into something that can add a personal touch to their overflowing bookcase. Below are some gift ideas based off of popular hobbies:

Everyone loves their pet, and a sweet portrait of their four-legged friend makes for a sentimental gift. A simple photo of the happy pet can be silhouetted onto a white background or photo-shopped into something funny like a Renaissance photo.

For The Music Lover: Vinyl Records Candle When listening to music, dancing around the room and singing along (a bit off-key), a candle that smells like the nostalgia of being at a record store can transport you to a different time. The Vinyl Records candle smells like bergamot, jasmine and amber are balanced with a soothing base of sandalwood and oud. (Vinyl Records | $34 | anecdotecandles.com)

For The Athlete: Water Bottle And Phone Holder Whether a student-athlete or an avid pickleball player, athletes are always on the move. A water bottle and phone carrier is a great addition to sporting equipment. This holder makes for a functional, compact bag that is quick and easy to pack while running from practices to games. The North Face Borealis Water Bottle Holder frees up your hands and comes in three different stylish colors. (The North Face Borealis Water Bottle Holder | $39.99 | dickssportinggoods.com)

(Modern Pet Portrait | $69.95 | crownandpaw.com)

For The Foodie: Foodie Dice Although your loved one may be a great chef, every cook gets stumped for ideas at some point. With foodie dice, the chef in your life can roll the dice for a surprise meal combination. Uncommon Goods’ Foodie Dice has five dice that offer protein options, cooking methods, grain and carb selections, herb choices, and bonus ingredients. Four additional dice offer seasonal veggies to spice up the dish. (Foodie Dice | $24 | uncommongoods.com)

For The Reader: Personalized Book Embosser Readers cherish their books. Although they may crack the spine and wrinkle a page or two, it’s signs of love for a good book. To mark a book part of their library, a personalized embosser can stamp the page. The embossing tool can be personalized with full names or initials to mark a book read and loved. (Personal Embosser | $39.95 | williams-sonoma.com)

For The Adventurer: Hiking Socks For your loved one that visits all the nature hot spots to see New York’s amazing sights, a pair of hiking socks is a must. While some may think that any ordinary mid-calf pair of socks would work, socks specifically made for hiking balance comfort and style. Fox River hiking socks have a comfort toe seam, arch support, moisture wicking, breathable mesh and reinforced heel and toe pads. Fox River offers many patterns and colors of hiking socks for you to pick out a pair as adventurous as your loved one. (Women’s Krakatoa Lightweight Crew Hiking Sock | $24 | foxsox.com)

Unique Pies Up your pie game with these unique choices. BY AMANDA OLSEN

aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

Pies are a holiday staple, but at some point you might want to move beyond a basic two-crust pie or straight pumpkin. If this speaks to you, consider the following recipes to take your dessert game to the next level. Note: Blind baking your pie crusts will ensure they stay crispy and hold your fillings. This goes for fruit as well as cream pies. Arrange the crust in your pie plate. The key to a successful blind bake is weighing down the crust. Prick as normal, but before baking line the unbaked pastry with parchment paper and pour in dry beans, rice, or baking weights. Bake according to the instructions, usually 8 to 10 minutes.

Aunt Pauline’s Chocolate Pecan Pie This riff on the traditional pecan pie incorporates maple syrup as the sweetner, rather than corn syrup, and adds a deep chocolate flavor. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.

The crumble topping sets this apple pie apart.

Susan’s Apple Crumb Pie This apple pie features a crumble topping in place of a second crust. The flavors are so close to a classic crumb cake, you might even consider pie for breakfast. Recipe: 5 – 7 tart apples, (approx. 5 cups) 1 9-inch pastry shell ½ and ⅓ cup sugar, separated ¾ tsp ground cinnamon ¾ cup all-purpose flour 6 Tbsp. butter Preheat oven to 400. Pare, core and cube apples. Mix with ½ cup of the sugar and cinnamon; Arrange in the pastry shell. Mix ⅓ cup sugar with the flour and cut in butter till crumbly. Sprinkle over apples. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. If crust browns too quickly, cover edge with foil.

Cardamom gives this sweet potato pie a Norwegian flair.

Throw A Party To Remember Party theme ideas for this year’s holiday party

BY JULIE PRISCO

jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

Like many families, every year, my family celebrates Christmas Eve with a huge party. Years ago, my grandmother hosted our family’s Christmas Eve at her house. She decorated her home with a beautiful Christmas village on the mantel, a bright and colorful Christmas tree and garland in every room. One year, she began giving everyone a table gift. I remember everyone got their own CD at their place setting; mine was Hannah Montana.

The Ski Chalet theme fostered a cozy cabin feel

hen she passed away, my mom, Jennifer Tichy, took up the tradition and dialed it up by ten. She picks out a party theme in the summer, scours Pinterest and by September, we have 10 boxes delivered weekly till Christmas with crafts and decorations for the party. While some decorations she purchases as-is, many we DIY (Do it yourself) at home. We have spent countless hours spray-painting charger plates and gluing together napkin rings.

THEMED PARTY from page 21B We host our immediate family of 21 and some years our extended family joins us, and our guest list grows to 35. But somehow, we still manage to sit around a massive homemade table decorated with an ornate centerpiece and eat together at the end of the night. While some themes are Christmasspecific, like 2015’s Santa’s Workshop where we had an electric toy train as the center piece of the table, for other years she has planned general holiday and winter-themed parties. Here are some of my mom’s themes that can help inspire you to throw a holiday party that everyone will remember:

Seasonal

When thinking of planning a holiday party, most people automatically think of winter. We think of cuddling up in a chunky sweater by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate or heading upstate for a weekend to see the snowy mountains. Drawing on the inspiration of the season, my mom has thrown a Ski Chaletthemed party and a Woodland-themed party. Ski Chalet: With a buffalo print table cloth, wooden benches instead of chairs and centerpieces of pine tree branches and holly, you can turn your dining room into the idealistic ski chalet resort. Our Christmas tree was decorated with little sleds and reindeer ornaments. DIY: To enhance the centerpieces, my mom reached out to friends and family for old ski equipment. She spray-painted the ski boots gold and used them as vases on the table and painted the skis and poles black to stick in our flower pots by the door. We bought a pack of tongue depressors and toothpicks and painted those red to glue onto wooden napkin rings to bring a bit of fun to a rather plain table setting. For the name plates at each seat, my mom created her own ski pass with a mountain design and everyone’s name on it.

All white decor tree

The red carpet walk of fame

Dress Up

If you want to give your guests a dress code, think of a theme that has some funky fashion choices involved. For example, Christmas in Hawaii can allow your guests to dig up those floral patterned shirts and straw skirts. When tasking our family with a dress-up theme, my mom chose Candy Factory and Academy Awards-themed parties. Academy Awards: Huge white roses and baby’s breath floral arrangements, a glittering tablecloth and red curtains lined the walls of our home for the Academy Awards. Our guests dressed in red-carpet attire and we even had a vote

for six different best dressed categories where we handed out Oscars. DIY: Have your guests walk the red carpet. We laid down red fabric on the floor with golden stars that had our guest’s names written on them to make them feel like they are on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. My mom spent hours folding our cloth napkins into an envelope shape, which we then stuck on golden stickers and red ribbons to look like the presenting envelopes at the awards.

White Winter Wonderland

Brady, Aidan, James and Tim McKean took dressing up to another level.

Monochrome

To keep things classy, pick out a solid color and go all out. Choosing a single color and decorating with glittering lights, tall candles and matching napkins can make preparing for this party fairly simple. Reach out to friends and family for solid color place settings to borrow and serving trays and you can create a monochrome wonderland that will envelop your guests. White: We picked the color white because it is probably the easiest color to find matching items in. With tall white candles, beautiful white floral arraignments and

Academy Award table setting

sparkling white holiday lights, we turned our home into a winter wonderland. All of our white tablecloths were spread on the table and we purchased a long strip of white furry fabric to use as the table runner. Everyone went home with a new mug filled with a white chocolate hot chocolate bomb. DIY: For additional decorations, we assembled large white snowflakes to hang from the ceiling and the walls of our home. To add some flare to the table settings, we tied a glittering white ribbon around the napkins and glued white feathers on the ribbon.

Mulching your leaves rather than raking and bagging is good for your lawn and the environment. As shredded leaves decompose, they feed your lawn, naturally.

Aerate

Aerating prevents soil from becoming compacted and covered with thatch—a thick layer of roots, stems and debris that blocks water,

oxygen and nutrients from reaching the soil.

Mow at the Right Height

Keep cutting your grass until the first hard frost. Find the just-right length for your species, typically between two to three inches, to keep your grass healthy when it turns cold.

Water Wisely

If you’re not getting at least an inch of water a week from Mother Nature, you’ll want to keep watering through the fall. Install watering solutions, such as smart controllers on irrigation systems, to help conserve water. —TurfMutt

or Briana Neary of Massapequa High School, the sky — or rather, the ground — is truly the limit. After finishing a spectacular season of soccer, the senior is ready for where her passion for the sport takes her next. Neary has played soccer for most of her life, and has recently committed to Siena College. The upstate Division 1 school is eager to bring on the forward, who has shined in

her two-year position as team captain. While leaving behind her many-year positions as basketball guard and point guard, Neary will be embracing the sport which defined her from early childhood. “My parents said I had so much energy as a kid — like, I would aways be running around. So that’s probably where it started,” she explained, laughing. Massapequa girls soccer has been a powerhouse team for many years. “This is a special sport in this town,” said coach Bruce Stegner in an interview with Newsday. “We have a lot of tradition and expectation, and they rise to the occasion every time and they want to be champions.” Neary has been a part of solidifying the team’s legacy over the last few years, winning counties with the team the last three years in a row. Neary recalls fondly when, as a Sophomore, the team won championships. While they fought hard — winning 1 game and tying 4 — Massapequa met the end of their season in a recent game against Suffolk Class AAA

champion Ward Melville in the Long Island Championship, a rematch of last year’s AA title that Ward Melville won. Unable to clinch the victory for Massapequa was hard for Neary. “I’m sad we couldn’t finish things out this year,” she said. Still, the bonds she has made with her teammates through soccer has completely changed her life. “I love it so much because the girls that you become so close with on the field, [that] translates to off the field. You’re always around

them and it leads to great chemistry on the field during games. The emotions that come over you really take control. After you win a game, the feeling is like nothing else.” Neary has already spent some time with her future teammates at Siena, and is eager to join them next year. “I watch a lot of their games and they seem like so much fun... I’m super excited for the opportunity to play with them.” We here at Anton Media Group wish Briana the best of luck — go team!

Congratulations, Briana Neary, you’re a top student-athlete! Orlin & Cohen is proud to support our community’s best high school athletes, just as we support all athletes’ orthopedic needs.

In total, students from high schools all across Nassau County submitted almost three hundred works of art. “It was exciting to see such a high quality of work in this student exhibition”, said Juror Robyn Cooper, who currently teaches art at Adelphi University. Eighty-one pieces of art were accepted into the show. “The maturity of their subject matter and wide range of materials and techniques made judging extremely challenging,” observed Ms. Cooper. “It is inspiring to see young artists have a strong sense of self and be able to communicate their ideas clearly through their art.” The Art Guild has been curating a High School Show since it moved into its current space at Elderfields Preserve in 2009. Ilene Silberstein, co-president of The Art Guild, said “One of our missions is to provide artists with an opportunity to showcase

They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

HOROSCOPES HOROSCOPES

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Flood warning

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Sometimes, you have the stuff first and you look for the right container to keep it in. But this week, the container will come first. It will come in the form of an empty box, a blank page, the rich potential of a relationship, or a block of unscheduled time. Don’t hesitate to decide how to fill it, or it will be decided for you.

Solution: 22 Letters

WORD FIND

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s important to be great at a job, and this week, it’s equally important to let people know you’re great at it, otherwise you won’t get the chance to share your skills. Whatever time you spend on your craft, spend the same amount of time getting the word out about what you do with savvy marketing.

Flood warning Solution: 22 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Exercise takes a lot of energy, but it gives the energy back to you with interest. You’ll be a magnet for pursuits that follow this kind of math. Also, you’ll immediately detect the environments, people and activities with the potential to drain you, and you should run the other way from situations that detract from your power and focus. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Silence is a more popular virtue than truth, and for good reason. The truth requires discernment. Not all truths are kind, helpful, relevant or yours to share. On the other hand, silence is flexible. It fills and empties at the same time. We crave it, need it and depend on it for peace and contrast. Silence gives shape to sound.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A reality is coming together for you. You’ll see glimpses in your imagination and feel it in the sensations of your inner world. As you lean into what is forming, you’ll forge a path, first in your subconscious and then in your future. Nature will work through you as you magnetize just what you need to grow. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Because you know what it feels like to be at odds with yourself, you treasure the congruency you feel in this week of total alignment. You’ll feel good because there’s nothing you must compensate for or hide. All of you seems to want the same thing so you can put your whole self into pursuits, and the world makes room. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re in an experimental mood and will come at relationships differently. Instead of performing to please people, you’ll take a step back and invite your curiosity to help you connect. You’ll be more observant and have fewer expectations. You’ll leave space for people to surprise you with their contributions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s a memory that still agitates you when it pops to mind. Rest assured, the event is safely kept in the past. You very well may be the only one who remembers or is bothered. You’ll get beyond this. After you chalk it up to a learning experience and let the negative associations go, peace will come to find you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have fielded your share of tactlessness from outspoken people who are oblivious to the impact of their words. It’s made you uniquely qualified to manage groups, keep conversations on track and take care of sensitive souls in need of protection. You’ll be fondly regarded for making life kinder and safer. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Feeling isolated is a trick of the mind -- a misreading of your true status. You are not marooned on an island in the middle of an endless sea. You have people, lots of people, and each can connect you to a resource you need. You also have space to create your life. You’ll ponder all that’s available and feel spoiled for options.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ll make sense of the illogical, find the common ground between people and understand the connection of seemingly disparate things. With these gifts, you’ll weave your life into an interesting tapestry of accomplishments, events and relationships. A graduation or the end of a project will give you a new sense of command over your time. You’ll be an integral part of a community effort. A financial win allows you to help loved ones. A special connection features laughter and travel. COPYRIGHT 2023 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Resourcefulness is your forte. Wherever you find yourself this week, you will work with what’s all around you. So, don’t be afraid to leave your known world. Venture out and there will be something there for you. Whether it’s familiar or not doesn’t matter. New things have as good a chance of working as old things.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It doesn’t take extra inventiveness to make things happen in your life because you’re naturally creative. You have plenty of practice envisioning things before they occur. Events will come together as if by magic, but if that’s so, it’s magic you’re conjuring. It’s happening because of you and not to you.

FOR RELEASE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2023

A delicate defensive play South dealer. Both sides vulnerable. NORTH ♠6 ♥K J 6 4 ♦ Q 10 4 ♣K J 9 6 4 WEST EAST ♠ Q 10 9 3 2 ♠KJ85 ♥5 2 ♥7 ♦AK ♦J8732 ♣Q 8 5 2 ♣ A 10 3 SOUTH ♠A74 ♥ A Q 10 9 8 3 ♦965 ♣7 The bidding: South West North East 1♥ 1♠ 3♥ 3♠ 4♥ Pass Pass 4♠ Pass Pass 5♥ Dble Opening lead — ace of diamonds. Let’s say that in a given case you’re the opening leader against a suit contract and you decide to lead from a holding of A-K-x-x of a side suit. Let’s also say that your partnership agreement is that you lead the king from such holdings. Now let’s suppose that in the same situation you hold the A-K alone. In that case, according to standard convention, you would lead the ace followed by the king to indicate a doubleton. You hope your partner

can then gain the lead and play a third round of the suit for you to ruff. This brings us to the accompanying deal where West led the A-K of diamonds, on which East played the 2-3 and declarer the 5-6. West then shifted to a low spade, expecting his partner, who had strongly supported spades during the bidding, would win with the ace and return a diamond for him to ruff. But South won with the ace, drew trump and finished down only one (200 points) instead of down two (500 points), which would have been the result had West led a club instead of a spade at trick three. East complained bitterly, contending that West should have led a club at trick three. He argued that if he had held the ace of spades, he would have played his jack of diamonds on West’s king at trick two as a suit-preference signal, indicating that he had an entry in spades. This would be in keeping with the standard agreement that the play of an unnecessarily high card in this type of situation is a signal for the higher-ranking side suit to be led. By extension, East argued further, his play of the three of diamonds — a low card — asked for a club return at trick three. East was right.

Manhasset Graduate Returns To Munsey Park To Share Her Passion For Writing

Walking the hallways of Manhasset’s Munsey Park Elementary School was nostalgic for Anastasia Galstian. She attended the school as a young girl and returned on Nov. 6 to reunite with her kindergarten teacher Donna Stoerger and read her children’s book, “Annie and Chalo Go to an Armenian Picnic,” to Ms. Stoerger’s class. It was an exciting reunion for both parties as Ms. Stoerger proudly showed her students the photo of Galstian’s class

from 1998-1999. The special visit correlated with the kindergarten class’s unit on authors and was a unique opportunity for the students to meet an author in real life. Galstian shared her first published book “Annie and Chalo Go to an Armenian Picnic” with the students. The book, which is based on her and her dog Chalo, spotlights Galstian’s Armenian heritage. The kindergartners learned Armenian words and culture through her story.

Afterwards, Galstian spoke to the class about the process of writing a book, working with an illustrator and her future plans. She told the students that she is continuing her “Annie and Chalo” series which will feature the pair going to different countries. Galstian plans on visiting each country that she spotlights in her books. At the end of her visit, Galstian gifted each student an “Annie and Chalo” bookmark and she reminisced with Ms.

Stoerger, who was thrilled to have her back. “It was amazing,” said Ms. Stoerger. “Anastasia is an inspiration and a role model. For present day kindergarten children to see her when she was in my class and then see her as a grown-up author reading her book to us was a wonderful experience for us all.” —Submitted by Manhasset Public Schools

Local Veterans Share Their Stories With Manhasset Students Manhasset Secondary School hosted its annual Veterans Day event on Nov. 9. Nine local veterans were invited into the school’s library, which was decorated in patriotic fashion, to speak with eighth-grade social studies classes about their military experiences. Each class heard from a different veteran who shared why they joined the military, what the military taught them, what type of traditional and non-traditional military careers are available and more. After each veteran shared his or her unique story, the students asked thoughtful questions. The event was a great way to honor military men and women and allow the students to reflect on the importance, courage, and sacrifices of our veterans. —Submitted by Manhasset Public Schools

ANTON MEDIA GROUP • NOVEMBER 22 - 28, 2023

Albert “Werner” Pleus Albert “Werner” Pleus was a man with deep faith in Christ Jesus who was filled with gratitude, even through his final days, when he passed peacefully on All Saints Day, November 1, 2023, at the age of 93. Although those he has left behind are filled with intense sadness, it is along with much joy from many cherished memories of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, friend, and man of great faith who has passed his time on earth and is now with the Lord. He aged with grace, dignity, wisdom, and had an infectious sense of humor, to the delight of all who knew him. He was calm, cool, and collected; all served up with a Hollywood smile. His greatest contentment in life was spending time with his family, helping others, and embracing his Christian faith. Born in New York City, July 31, 1930, Werner’s family moved frequently for ten years, and then in 1940, he, his mother (Margaret Werner Pleus), and father (Albert Statius Pleus) settled on Long Island in Plandome, NY. There he remained until 2005, when he and his wife, Julie Hamilton Pleus, moved to Kennesaw, GA, to be close to their youngest son, Fr. Adrian C.H. Pleus. They decided that Kennesaw was closer than Honolulu (where their oldest son, Albert H. Pleus, resides with his family) or Munich, Germany (where their daughter, Marie M.H. Pleus, resides with her family). In 1947, Werner received a scholarship to Harvard University where he enjoyed being a member of the rowing team, the debate team, and the Hasty Pudding Institute of 1770. He graduated cum laude in 1951 with a degree in Economics. After completing a year at Columbia Law School, he attended the US Naval Officer Candidate School in Newport, RI, and subsequently completed his JD at NYU Law School. Upon receiving his commission, he was stationed at Pearl Harbor performing cryptography, and was subsequently stationed in the Third Naval District, NY. Werner began his legal career at White & Case. Shortly thereafter, he met Julie Hamilton. After multiple attempts (all, except the final one, are under nondisclosure), she finally accepted his hand (despite him dragging her to lectures by conservative icon Bill Buckley). They were married on September 3, 1960. After White & Case, he worked as Senior Counsel for Columbia Broadcasting System and as General Counsel for Grumman Data Systems. Werner continued his legal career well into his retirement as general counsel for companies in the defense, energy, real estate, and private equity sectors. Always involved in public service, he led various groups that benefited hospitalized and disabled veterans, and even assisted with providing a private beach on Long Island for the disabled veterans so they could have discretion as they recovered. With his renaissance background and magnetic smile, along with his desire to help improve the lives of those around him, he jumped into politics. In 1965 he campaigned for office on the state and local levels. He ran hard on the issues of taxpayer relief and cuts in government spending (kind of like his friend Bill Buckley). As a conservative, he far exceeded expectations (according to the press at the time), even catching the eye and endorsement of Ronald Reagan, then governor of CA. Werner and Julie’s third child, Adrian, was born in the middle of one of his campaigns, which also may have been a key factor in his popularity! When Werner was in his teens, his father made movies for Standard Brands, working closely with Jack Warner of Warner Bros. Studios, to promote their products, a novel concept for that day and time. Aware of Werner’s charisma and acting talent, Jack offered Werner a membership in the Screen Actors Guild. While flattered, Werner decided “conservative Hollywood” was, perhaps, not for him and chose to pursue a legal career instead. Werner was an avid sailor who grew up racing and teaching on Manhasset Bay. He enjoyed racing sailboats, especially Star boats with the Iselin family; even racing Interclub (Frostbite) Dinghies in the dead of winter. He knew, when he was dating Julie (a true southern belle), that she was a keeper; especially when she was willing to crew for him in frigid weather. His love for sailing continued until the day he passed, and he maintained membership at the New York Yacht Club where he would always stop and visit when he was in NYC. He remembered the Club fondly, including that fateful evening in 1983 when he was filmed on Nightline with fellow members at the bar as the Club transported the America’s Cup from

the Trophy Room to the hands of the Australian victors. His love of the water was lifelong, and he enjoyed going on cruises and being in the water swimming laps. All his children followed his lead, spending time in both recreational and competitive sailing. Having driven an MG convertible throughout his Naval days, while he was General Counsel of Grumman Data Systems, he drove a red Chevy Malibu convertible. If the temperature was 33 degrees or higher, the heater worked, his custom-made blanket was snapped into place, and he had on his trusty Russian Ushanka hat, he would “open the roof” for his drive to work on Long Island. Werner’s convertible and of course, his good looks, could draw attention and he was well known in Manhasset, even by the police. Since Werner liked to maximize his time efficiency, he would use his rechargeable razor to shave while driving to work. Picture it: Freezing cold, it is snowing heavily, an officer in his police booth. Pulling up to the light in front of him is a convertible with the windows up, but the top down! A man in his Russian Ushanka hat, covered in a blanket, is shaving with an electric razor. The officer thinks, “An open convertible in this weather, the person driving it must have a problem or might be under the influence.” While the convertible is stopped at the light, the policeman walks out into the snow and to the car, leans over the closed window, and immediately recognizes the driver. “Mr. Pleus, are you okay? Is everything all right?” Werner, continuing his shave, looks at the officer and says, “I’m fine, I’m fine…...I’m just eccentric.” Spending time with the family was most important to him, so he encouraged the entire family to join in his cold-weather activities. They all took up skiing and enjoyed many years at Windham Mountain in the Catskills. A favorite family memory was the delicious aroma of the Silvercup Bread Factory flooding the car through the open windows during their after-dinner drives from Manhattan, across the 59th Street bridge, home, to Long Island. Always well read, retirement afforded him the opportunity to dive further into his various interests in history, art, science, and politics, continuing his eclectic mix of never-ending learning. Ranging from the Bible to Ray Kurzweil during his own Fantastic Voyage, he was always ready to share his new-found knowledge with others and had a knack for being able to communicate with anyone at any level. He always stressed the importance of learning and he encouraged all with his enthusiasm and passion for education. In Kennesaw, he was often found on the back deck enjoying the outdoors with his hand on the rosary, his head in his latest book, or his spirit engaged in a nuanced and sophisticated debate about the political topic du jour as he and Julie happily entertained old friends and new. He attended Mass at least once a week, and was always grateful for company, meals, health, and all his many blessings. Every meal was “delicious” and the “best meal ever,” which, as the years advanced, created a pretty darn high bar for his meals! When his traveling slowed down, Werner loved having his family visit Kennesaw and the family loved going on the pilgrimage to see him. In recent months, all of his grandchildren had visited and in spite of his synapses not firing as quickly as they used to, his grandchildren experienced his gracious manner, his delightful wit, his gentlemanly style and his magnetic and infectious smile. He felt blessed to have lived as long as he did and blessed that his family and friends were always close by. He was a man who had lived his life in full and was at peace. One cherished memory from a friend: He would greet you at the door, and when you said, “Werner, how are you?” he would say, “I am wonderful, but now I am even better because you are here.” Heaven is wonderful, but now it’s even better because Werner is there. Werner is survived by Julie Hamilton Pleus, his loving wife of 63 years, his son Albert Hamilton Pleus (Pamela Mitchell Pleus, and children Alexandra, Albert Mitchell and Allston), his daughter Marie-Margaret Hamilton Pleus (children Karl-Alexander Hoppe, Kerry Hoppe), his son Fr. Adrian C.H. Pleus along with his cousins, Andrea Lyon, John Lyon, and Rose Masters and brothersin-law Claude E. Hamilton III, and Michael Percy (Susan Snider). A Holy Mass was held on Monday, November 13th, at St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church, Dallas, GA.

Daughter Of Holocaust Survivors Shares Her Family Story In Documentary

L LI IW IW LIW

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

Film is nominated for an award at Big Apple Festival JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

hat was originally supposed to be a movie meant to be kept in the family is now being shown in film festivals, including the Catalina Film Festival in California that took place from Sept. 20 to 24 and the Big Apple Film Festival that took place from Nov. 3 to 9 in New York City. The film was nominated for an award. The film, Stories For My Children’s Children: Lessons From The Holocaust, centers Sarah Putter Rolnick, a Woodmere resident whose parents survived the Holocaust. Her son, Daniel Rolnick, who now lives in Lynbrook, had tried to make a film with his iPhone, but he ended up reaching out to movie director Christopher Wells, originally from Glen Cove, who had done documentaries before. “They just wanted to keep the film for the family,” Wells said. “But when I read the notes of where this was going to go, I said well I think other people need to see this.” Inside her home, Putter Rolnick shares the stories of her parents, displaying photos and documents she has, in an hour long film. “It’s been an emotional roller coaster,”

Rolnick said, later adding “Every time it connects with people, we feel really good about it.” Putter-Rolnick’s mother, Genowefa Pioro, spent more than two years of her life living inside a barn, cellar and attic of a farmhouse 40 miles from Kraków, Poland with her family due to the generosity of the Oshika family. “It’s not, remember the Holocaust, it’s about, remember to be good to each other,” Rolnick said. “Remember that everybody is a human. It’s about remembering that in the face of evil and horror, even one person can make a difference, and so that’s what we want people to remember.” And while Pioro and her family may have stayed safe from the Nazi regime, they certainly suffered while they were in hiding from Nov. 8, 1942 until Jan. 20, 1945. They hid in different areas of the farm depending on the time of day and season, and often slept during the day in uncomfortable conditions. They used a chamber pot as a toilet, a bucket of water to clean themselves, and food was sparse. They had no way of connecting to loved ones. There was a constant fear of being discovered. In fact, during a routine search of the countryside, a Nazi was one hay bale away from finding the family inside the barn. Rolnick, after graduating college, had the opportunity to visit the farm where his

grandmother was hid, and meet with the family there. “The whole trip was incredible, because some of it was physically challenging because I didn’t speak Polish and they didn’t speak English, but through lots of desire to communicate, we had a great two days,” Rolnick said. “Personally, it was emotionally overwhelming, just to think about the suffering they went through.” Putter Rolnick’s father, Roman Putter, lived in Poland and had served in the army, as did his brother. Before the war, Putter was married (not to Genowefa Pioro) and had two sons. In March of 1943, the Nazis came to “relocate” the Putter family when their older son was 10 and younger son was about four or five. They separated Putter’s wife and youngest son as he tried to intervene, but the soldier smashed Putter’s face with his rifle. Putter, his older son, his brother and sisterin-law were together in a camp in Kraków from March of 1943 to December of 1943, when Putter’s son was taken away. Putter, his brother and sister-in-law, who were then moved to other camps, survived the war, but his wife, two sons and nephew did not, in addition to six other family members who did not survive. After the war, the Pioro family was unable to return home, so they went to Kraków, as did Putter. Pioro and Putter ended up meeting in September of 1945, and quickly

got married. They moved to a displaced persons camp and lived there from the fall of 1945 to June of 1949. Putter Rolnick was born in July of 1946, and in June of 1949, the family emigrated to the United States aboard the USS General Mueller, an American troop ship. Later in life, Putter Rolnick came to learn that her father survived because he was a “Schindler Jew,” meaning he was a part of roughly 1,200 Jewish people who were saved by Oskar Schindler during the Holocaust. Because of his intervention, this group was afforded protected status as industrial workers. In the process of making the film, Wells said Putter Rolnick was nervous, so he’d have her look at her son, Rolnick, while she was talking. “Sarah is a little bit of a celebrity at these festivals because she’s such a sweet person, and everyone loves her and recognizes her,” Wells said. The film was shot over four days, one day for B-Roll. The editing process took threeand-a-half months.
