It All Started With A Thunderbird

LAUREN FELDMAN

lfeldman@antonmediagroup.com

The roar of engines might have alerted Massapequans that something was going on at Sunrise Mall on Sunday, June 11. The bright morning sun reflected off the hoods of over 500 cars, gathered in the parking lot for the fourth-annual Blue Angel Car Show. Thousands of spectators roamed this impressive display, but many would not know that this incredible community gathering all started with a single blue Thunderbird, and a family who experienced a tragic loss.

Brittany Marie grew up in East Meadow. From her house on the corner, she would sit on the porch and wave as her neighbor passed by in a light blue Ford Thunderbird. Brittany’s mother Carrie would often sit with her. One day, when Brittany was around eight or nine years old, she asked, “Mommy, can own that one day? I really love that car.” The Thunderbird, which was the exact color of Brittany’s eyes, had her spellbound. Carrie promised that yes, one day she could work and save up the money to get one of her very own.

Unfortunately, this would never happen. Brittany, like so many across the country, suffered from depression. Carrie and the rest of Brittany’s family had tried everything they could think of, but in the end, this disease took Brittany’s life on October 2, 2009, when she was just 14 years old.

After her loss, Carrie found her way to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, where she has volunteered for over a decade and is now a board member. “I wanted to get involved to help other families not have to go through what I went through,” she said. She knows this is something her daughter would be proud of her for doing. “Brittany always wanted to help everybody. She had the biggest heart. She was just suffering inside, and she was very good at hiding it.” For close to fourteen years, Carrie’s team has been among the top campaigners for AFSP. She has tried to honor her daughter’s memory by helping families going through similar experiences find the knowledge and solace that she was able to find.

But alongside her work with the AFSP, Carrie never forgot about that blue Thunderbird, one of the few things which seemed to imbue her daughter with joy and hope. And so Carrie began to search for her own Thunderbird, knowing that her daughter would give her a sign when the

time was right.

Carrie spent over ten years looking, and with the help of her husband Phil – who hadn’t known Britt – finally tracked down the perfect car, the exact shade of blue as her daughter’s eyes.

The car inspired her to establish a new type of fundraiser. This was the beginning of the Blue Angel Car Show, which has taken place at Sunrise Mall in Massapequa for the last four years. “I drive this blue angel knowing my baby is sitting in the front seat with a smile on her face,” Carrie said on the podium at the beginning of the show. “We

decided to show off this beautiful car in Brittany’s honor, and at the same time raise money for the AFSP.”

Carrie was given the opportunity to share her story with this huge crowd, and wanted to stress the invisible nature of depression which can make it so deadly. “To most [Brittany] seemed very happy, laughing, smiling, and so many friends that I had a hard time keeping track of,” Carrie explained. “But on the inside, she dealt with such pain that no one was able to understand. In this country, someone dies by suicide every 16 minutes. Each life

lost leaves behind a whole community, all wondering what happened and what they could do differently. For those who haven’t been touched personally by the problem of suicide, it can be tempting to look the other way. But those who’ve lost a loved one in this way can struggle with guilt and depression, questioning ‘why?’.” Being a part of the AFSP has given Carrie the opportunity to help others who struggling from losing a loved one, especially parents who have lost a child.

Last month, Brittany Marie would have been 28 years old. “Hard to think where she would be right now,” Carrie mused. “All I know is that she was robbed of her life.”

The car show has grown tremendously in popularity, and this year featured thousands of spectators and exactly 512 cars, which made Carrie smile, as 5/12 is Brittany’s birthday. Still, Carrie is very aware that depression, particularly childhood depression, remains largely undiscussed in the media and even social circles. She says that in the past, the car show has been announced to the public without mentioning the organization behind it, undercutting the significance of the Blue Angel and Brittany’s memory. “Mums been the word, and it really doesn’t help anybody,” she said in an interview with the Observer, “People may have a child who’s suffering, and they don’t even know what to do. Keeping quiet doesn’t make it go away.”

Senator Steve Rhoads was at the car show, and lamented the struggles facing many families today. “I don’t think you recognize all the challenges unless you have a kid yourself or have the opportunity to work with young people, the number of challenges that they are facing every day. I know when I was a kid, we never had to deal with the amount of bullying that happens [now], with the amount of bad information that goes out on social media and other sources. Access to information has been such a challenge for kids today. Dealing with drugs, dealing with so many different issues that face new and emerging challenges with these kids that we didn’t have to deal with.”

Councilman Steve Labriola was also in attendance, and concurred with the message that silence does not solve this problem. “Mental health issues, mental illnesses, these are problems that aren’t readily detectible. They’re not seen. People look on the outside like normally every day, like everybody else… But as parents, it’s so important for us to be engaged. There is always hope… Every single day, we need to give our children hope that this is a beautiful place to live and raise your family.”

The success of the Blue Angel car show has been another way to carry on the life, love, and legacy of Brittany Marie.

Student Business Group Finalists

Plainview-Old Bethpage’s DECA members earned the organization’s highest honors at the DECA International Career Development Conference in Orlando, Florida this year. The students were event finalists in the Business Services Operations Research and Hospitality and Tourism Operations Research categories.

These students competed against approximately 200 teams in their respective events and were among the top 15 in each. Students Blake Becker, Jesse Singer and Emily Sorgie competed in the Business Services Operations research event, while Matthew Bricker, Logan Saltzman and Brandon Witz competed in the Hospitality and Tourism Operations research event.

During the school year, roughly 100,000 members take part in the organization’s competitive events program. The competitions are designed to simulate real-life business scenarios and test a student’s academic understanding as well as their skills development.

The top association winners put their talents to the test during the program’s final round of competition in Orlando, where over 22,000 students from across the world vied for international honors. Over $200,000 in scholarships and awards were presented to students and teachers for their achievements.

“I truly had the time of my life competing at ICDC 2023,” Matthew said. “I was

humbled to represent the Plainview-Old Bethpage DECA Chapter at the highest level, and I felt tremendous pride every time I wore the DECA blazer. I will always cherish the memories I made at this year’s conference, and I am beyond grateful I had this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

“ICDC was an experience of a lifetime,” Jesse said. “Being an international finalist was a major accomplishment and great honor; however, the experience I got from the competition, convention and other career development programs was invaluable.”

Hands-On History

Students in Mr. Thomas Diorio’s Social Studies class participated in a hands-on art workshop with visiting artist Moriah RayBritt and Art Teacher Ms. Audra Donroe.

The workshop was held over two days, where students learned the art of Gelli Printmaking, made their own papers featuring symbols that represent them, and then worked together to make each branch of government. Each collage is filled with painted papers made by each student. By doing this, students saw themselves as part of the art-making process, learned a new technique, and worked together to meet a common goal. While creating, students reflected on each branch’s role with Mr. Thomas Diorio, and in order to remember their function (how the Judicial Branch evaluates laws, the Executive Branch carries out laws, and how the Legislative Branch helps make the laws) mixed in corresponding images into the collages. For example, the Founding Fathers, including George Washington, were added to the Executive Branch’s design so that students recognize where the President resides.

Thanks to the Peace Project Grant, students could create a symbolic representation of the three branches of government that made the content learning relevant to them. The Assistance in Art Education and the US Department of Education funds the grant. Ms. Donroe and Ms. Caracappa, whose workshop was

previously highlighted, were selected to participate in the program’s cohort year. Throughout the year, recipients engage in various professional learning activities that enrich their understanding of using art as an interdisciplinary learning tool to empower student learners. When we correctly promote art as a learning tool, we help students actively make connections between what they are learning and what they may already know.

HOSPICE IS ABOUT LIFE

Hospice can be an uncomfortable topic. But the comfort and care it provides can greatly ease sadness, pain and fear during a difficult time. From medical support to peace of mind, understanding what hospice has to offer can help people decide if, and when, it's right for them. Some things you may not know:

1. 4.

It's usually at home. Comfort, familiarity and the presence of loved ones are everything during these times.

It includes full medical care. A hospice team can include doctors, visiting nurses, social workers and other care providers.

2.

It's typically covered by insurance. Most patients qualify through Medicaid, Medicare or private insurance.

5. 3. 6.

It can last up to six months. Many people would benefit by entering hospice earlier.

Talking about hospice can be hard. We're here to help you understand the decisions and choices you may face along the way.

It's not just for patients. Loved ones can receive counseling, learn how to help and much more.

Hospice isn't about death. It's about life.

Hospice helps make this difficult time more comfortable, supportive and dignified.

Hicksville Couple Arraigned On Charges Of Stealing More Than $12,000 In COVID Relief Funds

Michael Arbassio and Eileen Dantini allegedly fraudulently obtained rental assistance funds from Town of Oyster Bay

Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly announced that a couple from Hicksville were arraigned for allegedly submitting fraudulent paperwork and obtaining more than $12,000 in rental assistance funds to which they were not entitled that were administered as part of a COVID relief program through the Town of Oyster Bay.

Michael Arbassio, 65, and Eileen Dantini, 61, were arraigned before Judge Joseph Nocella on charges of grand larceny in the third degree (a D felony) and six counts of offering a false instrument for filing in the first degree (an E felony). The defendants pleaded not guilty and were released on their own recognizance. Their next court date is June 27. If convicted of the top count, the defendants face up to 2 1/3 to 7 years in prison.

DA Donnelly said, according to the charges, Arbassio and his long-term girlfriend, Dantini, were tenants in a Hicksville home for approximately 10 years and paid monthly rent to a landlord.

It is alleged that on Sept. 29, 2021, de-

fendant Arbassio electronically submitted a Tenant Application to the Oyster Bay Emergency Rental Assistance Program (“ERAP”), listing the Hicksville address, his email address, and cell phone number. ERAP used federal funds to assist residents of the Town of Oyster Bay who experienced pandemic-related housing difficulties. The program was administered on behalf of the Town of Oyster Bay by the Long Island Housing Partnership (LIHP).

Arbassio allegedly stated on the ERAP application submitted to LIHP that Dantini was his landlord and that he was in arrears in rent to her.

Arbassio and Dantini also submitted additional fraudulent paperwork including a fraudulent lease agreement between Dantini and Arbassio, a Rental Arrears Affidavit allegedly signed by Dantini as landlord, and other documents.

Between Dec. 19, 2021, and Jan. 19, 2022, Arbassio and Dantini allegedly received $12,800 in rental assistance funds through LIHP.

On April 4, 2022, Arbassio allegedly elec-

tronically submitted a second ERAP Tenant Application, providing the same information from the first application and stating that he was again in arrears to Dantini, including supplemental paperwork that was also allegedly fraudulent.

ERAP conducted a search of Nassau County property records upon receipt of the application and discovered another individual owned the Hicksville property, not Dantini. As a result, ERAP asked Arbassio to submit proof that Dantini rented the property to him, which he failed to provide. ERAP deemed Arbassio ineligible for additional rental relief funds in July 2022.

The Town of Oyster Bay and LIHP referred the case to NCDA in August 2022

after conducting an internal investigation and identifying the potentially fraudulent application.

Arbassio and Dantini surrendered to NCDA Detective Investigators on May 17, 2023.

Maureen McCormack, Chief of the Revenue, Auto, Insurance and Labor Bureau is prosecuting the case. Arbassio is represented by the Legal Aid Society. Dantini was represented at arraignment by Christopher Devane, Esq.

The charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless found guilty.

ANTON MEDIA GROUP • JUNE 21 - 27, 2023 1A FULL RUN 241481 M

editors@antonmediagroup.com

From June 6 to 9, large swaths of the U.S. East Coast were blanketed in wildfire smoke originating in Eastern Canada, where climate change and related environmental factors (e.g. longer summers, shorter winters, less rain, and invasive bark-boring beetles, to name a few) have led to wildfires of increasing intensity and scope in recent years.

Seeing a red sun blotted out in a sky full of woodsmoke is not an uncommon occurrence on the West Coast of North America, where worsening wildfires have ravaged large parts of California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia in the past decade.

Here on the East Coast, however, the sight was shocking to many, as was the pervasive smell of woodsmoke and the irritation of particulate matter in our regional air. As a result, perhaps, reactions to the conditions were mixed and somewhat staggered among state and municipal authorities.

School districts and municipalities in lower New York State were mostly left to make their own decisions about the smoke, which is generally a difficult condition to predict, and moved into our area quickly on June 6 after weeks of ongoing fires in Canada.

For example, on June 7th, during the worst of the haze, Port Washington Superintendent Dr. Michael Hynes moved all after-school activities indoors and continued this precaution to the next day. However, most sports had already finished their seasons, so only a few activities remained.

“We prioritize the safety and well-being of our students and staff,” Dr. Hynes said in a letter to the community, where he promised to “continue to monitor the situation” closely.

Meanwhile, the majority of schools in that district cancelled their outdoor events entirely, and Port Youth Activities, which runs all throughout the summer, did the same. As the smoke gradually appeared to be behind (rather, above) us, after-school activities quickly re-opened to their fullest capacity, with administrators planning on finishing the school year without any more bumps in the road.

On June 7, City of Glen Cove Mayor Pam Panzenbeck also posted on Facebook: “due to the diminished air quality, to protect the health and safety of our DPW workers and our parks’ employees, garbage will not be picked up tomorrow, Thursday, June 8. Tomorrow’s garbage and recycling will be picked up on Friday, June 9. If your usual pick up is Friday, this week, garbage and recycling will be picked up on Saturday, June 10. Pascucci Soccer Field and Maccarone Stadium will also be closed. All

Lessons From Haze Week

What should we know for next time?

While the early-June smoke that blanketed our region may have been the first such instance in recent memory, it won’t be the last.

Fire season continues through early October in most parts of North America, and numerous recent studies and climate models suggest that things are going to continue getting worse on this front.

With that in mind, Anton Media Group recently spoke to Dr. Kenneth Spaeth, Chief of Occupational and Environmental Medicine for Northwell Health, about the potential health effects of smoky skies in our area.

“I have not seen any definitive data on this. It usually takes a while to tabulate such things,” Spaeth noted. “I think the effects were certainly demonstrable, and, anecdotally, a lot of people were noting a burning sensation in their eyes and throat, even if it wasn’t enough to send them to get care.”

“Of course, there are people for whom heightened sensitivity and heightened vulnerability could be an issue, typically people who have underlying respiratory or cardiac issues, including some elderly populations.”

“During such high levels of air pollution and periods of poor air quality, those folks are certainly at higher risk for health events,” he explained. “But there’s not likely to be lingering consequences for most people. For those with underlying respiratory conditions that were triggered by the smoke, it may take them a little while to get back to their baseline.”

“Of course, there are long-term consequences for exposure chronically to air pollution,” Spaeth continued. “Meaning, living for extended periods in settings where there’s air pollution has been shown to have a variety of chronic effects. The longer term issues are more a consequence of chronic, persistent exposure over extended periods, such as years.”

other city departments will be open.”

She cautioned residents against any outdoor activities.

Similarly, Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino posted on Facebook that “due to deteriorating air quality, there will be no sanitation or recycling collection tomorrow, Thursday, June 8th. Again, there will be no sanitation or recycling collection on Thursday due to air quality concerns and its impact on workers.”

One Westbury resident told Anton Media Group that, on June 7, he put on a mask and took his dog for a walk outside, where he encountered a USPS employee wearing a mask who was still delivering mail, as instructed, despite the strikingly poor air quality.

Over in New York City, all after-school activities were cancelled on June 7, and after a day or two of uncertainty, the

Department of Education announced that all classes would be remote on Friday, June 9. One person who works for a private company on a line of boat tours for tourists told Anton Media Group that, on June 7, when visibility dropped severely in Manhattan and around NYC, boat operators simply refused to ‘sail’ during the worst of the smoke for safety reasons, despite what their bosses had told them.

In the subsequent days, news outlets reported a spike in breathing-related hospital visits in New York City for ailments such as asthma. The New York Times also reported that a substantial number of people were experiencing headaches or other ailments as a result of the smoke.

For her part, Governor Kathy Hochul called the yellowed skies that week “hard to miss.”

When asked whether masking up can keep us safe from smoke outdoors, Spaeth commented, “I wouldn’t say it does nothing, but it’s not full protection. Even with an N95 mask that has a proper fit, many of the contaminants in the air for the past few weeks are small enough that they could go through the mask. So, it’s worth wearing something to try to reduce the exposure, but it’s good to remember that it’s not enough.”

Dr. Spaeth also emphasized, “As long as those wild fires are burning, it’s useful to pay attention to what the air levels and the air quality are because the extent to which our area is affected is really going to be at a function of the weather and meteorological conditions. Those, as we all know, can change pretty quickly.

“There’s some good resources, like airnow.gov, where you can check real-time levels in the Long Island and New York City areas just to keep an eye on it. And if the levels start to get into the orange and red zones, then depending on someone’s health status and how high the levels are, it may be worth trying to stay indoors more and avoiding exercising or exertion outside.”

Spider-Man:AcrossTheSpider-Verse

jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, was released earlier this month. This is the latest comic-book movie associated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). While Marvel movies are usually live-action, this film series is animated. The movie follows Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) and Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), two teenage spider-people from different universes.

In the first movie, fans got the classic Spider-Man origins story. Miles was bitten by a radioactive spider which causes him to develop mysterious powers that transform him into Brooklyn’s only Spider-Man. The movie follows Miles’ journey of self-discovery as he learns about his abilities and meets strange spider-people that have been sucked into his universe by accident. Miles and his new spider-people friends have to develop a plan to defeat the villain Kingpin and his accomplice Doc Ock, who have been working on opening a portal to another universe that will swallow the universe whole. After defeating the villain, Miles’s friends get sent back to their universes, and he gets back to being Brooklyn’s one and only neighborhood Spider-man.

In the newest movie, Miles and Gwen reunite. Miles gets introduced to the Spider-Verse, where he meets hundreds and thousand of Spider-Man variants from the multiverses, including Spider-Woman

and Spider-Punk. These spider-people have teamed up to protect their very existence across universes. Although all these spider-people have similar lives and backstories, they begin to clash on handling a new villain, Spot. Miles realizes he is set against the other spiders and must reinvent what it means to be a hero to save his loved ones. While animated films are often seen as children’s movies, this film quickly became wildly popular with Marvel fans of all ages. The film’s quick wit, incredible graphics, star-studded soundtrack, intricate storyline and plot twists all added up to create a cult favorite.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse incorporates classic comic book aesthetics with animation to make stunning, vivid visuals of new cities, worlds and characters. In one of the opening scenes, Gwen has to fight a version of an old Spider-Man villain who is drawn in the style of ink on parchment paper. While this villain is not only from a different

universe, he’s from a different artistic style, which we often see throughout the film. The Spider-Man variants are drawn in different styles to portray the other universes they are from. We see a whole Lego world, with little Lego people and large Lego buildings. We see Pavitr Prabhakar (Spider-Man India) swing through his city of Mumbattan filled with bright summer colors and unique architecture. We see Miguel O’Hara (SpiderMan 2099) shaped with clean lines and neon colors to appear futuristic. Even a grainy-animated Spider-Man looks like he popped in from a ‘90s cartoon.

Another factor of these animated films that makes them so widely popular is that Miles is the first black Spider-Man in the Marvel films. The late Stan Lee has said that the reason Spider-Man was so widely popular is because anyone could be under the mask. Regardless of race, age and gender, fans can imagine themselves as the famously masked hero.

In addition to being artistically groundbreaking, the film deals with struggles such as grief, self-discovery and acceptance. Throughout the film, we see character grieving loved ones, such as the classic Uncle Ben character, and face backlash from family members when trying to lead a secret double-life as a superhero.

The film ends on a cliffhanger. Miles is trapped in a different universe, held hostage by villains. We see his friends, some from the first movie and new ones from the latest film, teaming up to find him, and just when you think we will get a wild final action scene, the screen goes black and reads “To Be Continued…”

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is the first movie in a two-part series of Miles’ incredible storyline. The third movie is set to be released in March of 2024, and fans are already taking to social media to share their theories and speculate how Miles and his friends save the world again.

Controversy Stirred During Belmont Stakes

LAURENFELDMAN JANET BURNS

editors@antonmediagroup.com

This year’s Belmont Stakes portion of the 155th running of the Triple Crown came with notable accomplishments, such as groundbreaking female trainer Jena Antonucci’s win with Arcangelo, but also substantial challenges, including hazy track conditions and the tragic deaths of two horses.

The horses, named Excursionniste and Mashnee Girl, were euthanized following consecutive races on Saturday and Sunday of the Stakes. Both horses had the same trainer, Mark Hennig, and some organizations and officials have called for an investigation into the incidents.

Fatalities on and off the tracks are not

new to the sport of horse racing, particularly in the U.S. According to Salon’s Rae Hodge, “We overbreed them for fleetness at the cost of hardiness, run them far too young at punishing speeds on poorly surfaced tracks and dope them until they can’t feel the lacework of fractures

sprawling across their lightweight bones nor the arrest seizing their engorged hearts. And when they fall, rather than be inconvenienced by expensive medical treatment and unprofitable recovery time, we kill them.”

In an interview with NPR, The New York Times’ Joe Drape pointed out that the U.S. fatality rate is 2 ½ to 5 times greater than in the rest of the racing world. Drape also accredits that to our abuse of medications and drugs, which put horses back on the tracks before they’re ready. “You know, [in other countries] if your horse is sore, you’re not going to give him a corticosteroid to get him to the track to race.”

John Di Leonardo, an executive director of Humane Long Island, also commented, “Even those horses who survive are confined to tiny stalls 23 hours per day and often butchered at career’s end. It is clear that the public no longer supports this

cruel industry that killed dozens of horses at the Belmont last year and kills 2,000 every year at racetracks across the U.S.”

So, as controversy swells, what measures are being put in place to protect these racehorses? Primarily, there is a mechanism called the Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Authority. HISA’s Racetrack Safety Program requires, among other standards; surface maintenance and measurement standards, collection and analysis of medication. While invaluable, HISA is still a relatively juvenile program. In general, horse deaths are down, but not out.

Janice L. Blake, a former Belmont jockey, commented in a statement, “Every year, the state of New York robs taxpayers and school children of hundreds of millions of dollars as horses like Mashnee and Excursionniste are run to their deaths. It is always the horses who lose when people bet.”

The 2023 Nassau Library Road Trip Has Begun

Na ssau’s public libraries have a groovy challenge for you: How many libraries can you visit this summer? Find out by cruisin’ on the Nassau Library Tour. Each one is a gateway into a new community. Visit the library, then explore the attractions, restaurants, and parks nearby. Take a self-guided tour as a family, a team of friends, or go solo. Plus, tour participants can collect prizes and invaluable memories along the way.

Open to all ages, this self-paced jour ney takes place from June 12 to August 12. Prizes are earned for visiting 5, 15, 30, and 50 of the participating public libraries in Nassau County. Anyone who visits all 58 participating locations will also be entered to win a fabulous grand prize raffle. Start the journey by picking up a Nassau Library Tour map at any participating public library in Nassau County. Participants can begin at any of the 58 libraries and go in any order. Taking photos of the library adventure and sharing them on social media with the hashtag #NassauLibraryTour is encouraged. The tour is an opportunity to explore Nassau’s public libraries and discover all they have to offer, such as books, technology, and events. Be sure to bring the map and have it updated with a sticker to get credit for that library. Visit the tour website at https:// tour. nassaulibrary.org to plan which library to hit next, and learn about nearby places.

“(Having the tour)coming out of COVID is the perfect time to get people. Most people, if they do visit their library at all, they only see their own libraries. They probably don’t know anything about all of the other libraries in the county. So this is a really great way for people to spend the summer visiting different libraries. It’s a bit of a launchpad into all of the different communities in the county and it’s open to everybody,” said Lisa Zuena, Communications & Marketing Specialist for the Nassau Library System.

Taking photos of the library adventure and sharing them on social media with the hashtag #NassauLibraryTour is encouraged. The tour is an opportunity to explore Nassau’s public libraries and discover all they have to offer, such as books, technology, and events. “A lot of people may have a little bit of an outdated view of what a library is. They don’t realize that we have things like museum passes. Many libraries have

“libraries of things” where you can come in and and check out power tools, and lawn games and things like that. You can download ebooks and audio books from home. (The staff) was hoping people would see all see the physical buildings, of course, but then also see what all of these libraries have in common that

people may not even realize,” Zuena said.

“More and more, Nassau’s libraries deliver rich experiences - in addition to books and media. What better way to enjoy the uniqueness of every Nassau public library and every Nassau community than to set out on a fun challenge

this summer? We’re proud to sponsor the Nassau Library Tour, highlighting the best of what Nassau has to offer,” said Caroline Ashby, Director of the Nassau Library System.

The Nassau Library Tour debuted in 2019 with the idea of exploring the libraries in Nassau County. Back then there were 53 participating libraries to visit, so for those who were among the 22,000 people who participated in the inaugural tour, there are even more new libraries to see this time around. “The library tour gave us the opportunity to explore all the other Nassau County Libraries as a family,” said Jessica Katz, who was the first to finish the original Nassau Library Tour with her family in 2019. “We loved showing up at some of the libraries and having staff already know who we were!”

While this event happens every three to four years, there are plans in the works for a separate puzzle-game mystery event. “During the summer we would give out clues, and people would have to do some some traveling. But they could do some things maybe in a digital format. They could solve a puzzle or a mystery and also learn about the libraries that way. We don’t have anything official yet, But we really are looking forward to doing something like that in future summers,” said Zuena.

For the list of participating libraries and more information, see https://tour. nassaulibrary.org. Grab your map and get ready to hit the road. Be sure to bring the map and have it updated with a sticker to get credit for that library. Visit the tour website at https://tour.nassaulibrary.org to plan which library to hit next, and learn about nearby places.

Psychologist Donald Peterson defines conflict as an interpersonal process that occurs whenever the actions of one person interfere with the actions of another. He shares that conflict can be described in three ways: destructive, adequate, and constructive. In connecting this to relationships, a destructive ending to conflict could lead to separation, an adequate ending could result in compromise, and constructive conflict would lead to improvements within the relationship. Therefore, all conflict is not bad.

Let’s examine a scenario involving hypothetical couple Paula and Dennis regarding quality time spent as a couple. Dennis was invited to play basketball with his friends who he hadn’t seen in quite some time and told Paula that he planned on joining them. Paula was hoping to spend time with him since they both have very busy schedules and don’t have much time for connection. Dennis felt as if they spent time together during the week watching

Conflict: It Isn’t All Bad

it in advance, I feel hurt. While we see each other during the week, it often feels rushed and as if we are both distracted. I value spending quality time with you.” This shifted the tone of the conversation and they agreed to make planning time together during the weekends more of a priority going forward.

LOVE LESSONS

TV after they finished work, so didn’t think a couple of hours out with his friends on a weekend would lead to any discord. Paula wanted to make it clear to Dennis that she was happy for him to spend time with his friends, but also wants him to prioritize time spent as a couple. During their exchange about their plans, which at times became heated, she shared, “Dennis, when you make last minute plans with your friends without scheduling time as a couple or talking to me about

Below are a couple of tips, highlighted by the scenario, to help ensure that heated exchanges remain productive. Using these approaches will lead to a better understanding of your partner rather than damage the relationship.

Articulate your feelings and goals

Avoid only articulating your frustrations (or exaggerations of the facts) such as “You always choose seeing your friends over spending time with me.” Instead, share your feelings. Paula indicated that she felt hurt and insecure. She clearly shared that she would like Dennis to prioritize their time together going forward, and for him to let her know when he wants to see friends in advance.

This communicates to him that she values his desire to spend time with friends, but also wants to be sure that they are intentional when it comes to their connection.

Use “I” Language

When you use I language, you are focusing on the behavior, rather than on attacking your partner. Communicating this way lets your partner know what you are thinking in a non-confrontational manner. Paula was able share what upset her (the last minute plans with friends) and why it stirred that emotion up for her. The alternative to this may be, “You don’t care about me!” The latter would make Dennis much more defensive, as Paula would be making assumptions about him that are not true. In the scenario, she shared her feelings as well as her needs.

Remember conflict is inevitable. Don’t try to avoid it, but rather make it constructive. If you can, you may learn something valuable about your partner and strengthen your relationship.

The Psychological Impacts Of Climate Change On Our Kids

Climate change has been an enormous challenge for our communities, our country, and our world. Locally, in the last 10 years, we’ve experienced severe flooding, home/property damages and lives lost from Super Storm Sandy. Most recently, the Canadian Wildfires turned our skies along the East Coast to a sickly yellow, bringing alarming air quality alerts. We were confronted by those same daunting instructions we thought were eliminated: remain indoors and wear masks. While natural disasters may seem part of a natural order, they can have long lasting psychological effects on our children.

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the health effects of these disruptions include increased respiratory and cardiovascular disease, injuries and premature deaths related to extreme weather events, changes in the prevalence and geographical distribution of food- and water-borne illnesses and other infectious diseases, and threats to mental health.

The environmental impact of climate change has been attributed to increases in anxiety, depression, social withdrawal, changes in self-esteem and increased aggression levels. These

PLUS

psychological conditions interact with our physical health.

Often, climate change alters residential and natural landscapes, which can create feelings of loss to places that are important. It can alter the perception of being surrounded by a safe and secure environment, surfacing emotions in the form of fear, anger or exhaustion.

As constant exposure to unwanted change in one’s environment continues to occur, an increase in worrying about the future for oneself, our children and community may result. Feelings of helplessness, fatalism and a reduced sense of control over one’s own life can also emerge.

At the Guidance Center, we have seen more illustrations of anxiety and depression in response to climate change. In our younger population, we treat children who refuse to go outside, to school and hide when there is significant rainfall or thunderstorms. In our older adolescent population, there are reported concerns about having children in the future as they do not trust that natural resources will be available.

Luckily, not all individuals and communities will experience climate change in the same way so it’s important to understand where your child’s comfort level sits. Engage in a conversation with your child to determine their level of insight and any emotional responses they may have.

Here are some tips parents can use to support their children to prepare and withstand these impacts.

1) Acknowledge their emotions. Help your child name their fears and other emotions, showing empathy which paves the way to teach healthy coping skills.

2) Make sure to communicate that being scared, anxious, depressed is a normal response, not something to fight against, ignore, downplay, or suppress.

3) Build belief in their own

resilience. Have a post-disaster plan or household emergency plan that is routinely practiced.

4) Assess and strengthen social networks with families, friends, neighbors and other groups.

5) Expand everyone’s knowledge on climate change to learn about specific, actionable ideas toward solutions.

6) Explore or research a local community project focused on ways to improve the environment.

7) Foster optimism by reminding them that people recover and grow after disasters, creating a new world of safety, calm, and hope.

It’s important for caregivers to maintain awareness of climate-related effects on their children. Through constant monitoring, prevention, preparedness, and education on these issues, we will be able to better respond to their psychological needs.

Peonies And Orange Skies

I rarely think of Canada, our benign neighbor to the north. We’re blessed with their exports of natural gas, lumber products, maple syrup, bacon, hockey and comedians. But recently none of us could escape thinking about Canada as we were unwilling recipients of smoke from Canadian forest fires.

Our daytime skies turned orange and we reached for our masks again. Activities were curtailed or cancelled and we got a bit of a flashback to covid days when our lives were disturbed by a threatening airborne attack.

Both events remind us how interconnected we are as we share the planet, our one common home. The “Vegas rule” doesn’t really apply. What happens in one place doesn’t stay there. Our actions affect more folks than we can ever imagine.

This is also true of word we

THE SPIRIT OF OUR TOWN

speak and attitudes we express. In the past, hurtful words polluted families and relationships. Can you think of a time when you were pained by what someone at home, at school or at work said? Many times people have the ability to forgive a hurt or injustice and they move on. But sometimes unloving words disturb

people for a long time and sometimes this is passed on to new generations. Consider how prejudice infects our young people.

Today our own unkind words can reach hundreds, if not thousands, of people because of social media. I feel great sadness when I see some of my Facebook “friends” re-posting cruel and insulting things on their Facebook page. It’s as if they are spreading orange choking smoke further and further. I hold myself back from calling them out by publicly posting, “Which part of ‘Do unto others as you would have them do to you?’ are you following?” Or “Love your neighbor?” Or “Turn the other cheek.?” Or “Forgive, they do not know what they are doing?”

The flames of hate and hurt and being fanned by otherwise kind and faithful people. And once they get in the habit of

Everybody Needs A Weekly Newspaper

Periodically, I try to remind my readers about the value of the weekly newspaper. I must confess I am biased because long before I entered politics I was writing columns for a weekly paper and helping put together the paper days in advance of publication.

Weekly papers have a great history. The first weekly papers were Hamed Relation and Advise . They were published at the beginning of the 17th Century. Both were distributed in Germany.

Weekly papers have had their ups and downs. Many years ago, they were fortunate to be blessed with national advertising. You could see advertisements for Coca-Cola, Cheerios and many national airlines. Those were the glory days.

Once the national advertising slowed down the papers were faced with the challenge to stay alive. They found many ways to stay afloat. Some were fortunate to get designated as a place for legal notices. Others had to work especially hard to get the local advertising to stay in business.

The Covid-19 pandemic was another challenge. If people are confined to their homes, getting information from the weeklies

INSIDE POLITICS

was not a high priority. But publishers like Angela Anton persisted and this great newspaper chain survived.

These are still tough days for any publishing business and new ideas are always needed. Today, many readers get their local news on line and do not pick up the paper at some local store. But their weekly paper is full of important local news, features, articles on interesting topics and opinion columns.

I know the only way I can stay informed on local politics and learn about serious issues is by reading my weekly newspaper.

If I have schoolchildren and am

posting negative things online, this kind of pollution creeps into their speech at home and at work. And like me, few people want to get into an argument so they just breathe in the polluted talk and inwardly cough .

In the 1940’s Walt Disney’s anti-fire campaign featured Bambi saying, “Please Mister, don’t be careless. Prevent Forest Fires!” Word pollution often begins with carelessness. I know few people who aim to cause hurt and distress in the course of their day. One way to do a personal “fire-check” is to pray at the end of the day and recall all the people you encountered. First thank God for those encounters. Second try to replay some of what you said (or posted) and see if those words and attitudes are blessings for others or not. Our good words and deeds also spread, but alas, not necessarily as quickly or as

far as our destructive words. On the first evening after the Canadian smoke had lifted, I sat in the coolness of my garden and breathed in the aroma of peonies. While the fragrance permeated the garden (and later the house when I cut some to bring inside), it didn’t drift much further than that. This intimate, beautiful moment was shared by only a few but it was a treasure to remember.

I suggest that we bring the sweet fragrance of kind, affirming, forgiving and loving words to folks near us. (For example why not write something spontaneously affirming the next time you’re texting or posting?) And even if you’re not using the virtual world to express your loving character, take some time in the real world to show care for another.

I prefer peonies over orange skies. How about you?

interested in sports teams, game results and look for a photo involving their children or friends, the weeklies are the source. One team photo can attract multiple viewers all of whom heard about the pictures by word of mouth.

If you are a political candidate experience tells you that your advertisement will be seen by countless numbers of people. A favorable article can bring positive comments from your neighbors who notice the activities of their elected officials. No politician interested in good press should forget to send his or her press releases to your favorite weekly.

There is only one source for in-depth news about your local school board, county legislator and town board. If you didn’t hear about some action taken by your elected officials chances are you failed to buy the local weekly. The weekly newspaper is the place to learn about government actions and reading them is a must.

So, it is time to salute your weekly newspaper and above all support it. Encourage local merchants to take advertisements and tell your friends and neighbors to make the weekly paper part of their required reading.

The Governors Ball Music Festival

JENNIFER CORR

jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

Flushing Meadows Corona Park typically serves as a recreational hub for barbecues, sports or a stroll through the park.

And while the Governors Ball Music Festival, held at the park, did not interrupt all the family fun from June 9 to 11, it certainly changed the landscape quite a bit.

From far away, you could hear the bass blaring and a crowd singing along or applauding. You could see singles, couples or groups walking in all kinds of different styles; baggy cargo pants, knit shrugs, bucket or cowboy hats, cowboy boots, tube or crop tops, paisley designs and sundresses being some of the most popular. And along the way, festival-goers could buy scalped tickets, liquor shots and margaritas and replicas of Gov Ball merchandise.

The first day, June 9, was held just two days after New York was covered in an orange tint and bad air quality due to wildfires in Canada. But besides all that, the weather was great all weekend, except for an about 10-minute downpour that did not seem to take away from the fun. In some cases, it actually added to the fun.

The Governors Ball Music Festival is arguably one of New York’s most popular music festivals. The first one was held 12 years ago at Governors Island.

This is the first time the festival has been held at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, and besides it being a little difficult to navigate at first, especially if you’re not familiar with the area, it provided ample space to provide a wide array of food options, plenty of space for sponsored experiences (brands like M&M, RedBull and Coca Cola set up stations to hand out free products and provide interactive experiences), art installations and for putting down blankets to relax or watch performances from afar (which plenty of people did).

Over 60 artists were hosted by Governors Ball between three stages. And this year’s headliners were pop singer Lizzo, DJ act Odesza and hip hop artist Kendrick Lamar. What makes Governors Ball so unique is that it does not stick with just one type of music genre. There is truly something for everyone, whether you’re a fan of R&B, pop, electronic music, alternative music, rock or hip hop.

Festival-goer Brenden Gregory, who has been to Gov Ball for one day before, said this was his first weekend going all three days.

He was convinced to go for the weekend because he loved all three headliners. He said on Sunday, as he was entering the festival, that so far he was having a good experience.

“Especially here in New York, for a New York City based festival, [what stands out] is not only the music diversity, but the amount of different types of people, types of taste,” Gregory said. “It’s been nothing but good energy and welcoming vibes, which is what I love to see in New York.”

Fellow festival-goers Thomas Pittau and Iris Nenu shared the sentiment. They flew in from France.

“It’s a great atmosphere,” Pittau said. “It’s a great energy. Everything starts on time. Whereas in France, that’s not the case at all.” Nenu said that in coming here, she noticed that a lot of people are free to be themselves.

“It’s really nice seeing all these people being dressed how they want to,” she said.

And festival-goer Carissa Aekins, right before seeing artist Pink Pantheress, who sings on the very popular track Pt. 2 featuring Ice Spice, said it was her first time here. She said she enjoyed browsing the sponsored experiences, including one by Dunkin’ Donuts, that were handing out merchandise, food and drinks and photo opportunities.

“The artists that were invited here come from a large range of genres,” Aekins said. “I guess it’s kind of representative of us now. It’s more diverse. Whoever wants to do anything can, and it doesn’t matter who you are.”

It’s impossible to reflect on the impact music festivals have on culture, style and music without looking at one of the United State’s original music festivals, Woodstock. It took place between Aug. 15 and 18 in 1969 in Bethel, New York, about a two-hour drive away from where Gov Ball was held. Headliners included Jimi Hendrix; Crosby, Stills and Nash; Janis Joplin; The Grateful Dead and many more

endary acts.

Woodstock attendee Adrienne Kitaeff told Long Island Weekly that she believes another Woodstock could never happen again.

Kitaeff went to Woodstock in her 20s with two friends. They stayed at a motel in Pennsylvania, which allowed them to bring food to the event and share it with the lots of hungry people there. She doesn’t quite remember the performances she saw, but she could remember setting up a picnic and hanging out with the people there. She said that everyone was friendly, and that she did not encounter any negativity. She also shared in the beliefs of everyone there which were against the war in Vietnam, and for liberations such as women’s rights.

“It was quite an experience,” Kitaeff said. “I was never a person who liked being around crowds, but it was like being with thousands of your best friends.”

While Gov Ball is not very politicized, there’s certainly many political issues that

In describing my experience at Gov Ball with Kitaeff, we could draw a few parallels between the two, including the fact that a lot of people were smoking weed and that there was a sense of freedom.

Although, there are certainly differences.

“It sounds much more sophisticated than Woodstock,” Kitaeff said of Gov Ball. “Now it’s more of a business. Woodstock was more of a happening... I think that makes a difference. Maybe not. I haven’t been to anything like that since Woodstock... If you’re in the audience, that’s the price you have to pay, the commercialization of it. And maybe that’s okay. Nobody is going to be able to pull off anything like they did at Woodstock again between insurance and all kinds of things, and what the acts would get paid today versus what they’d get paid then.”

Though there’s business in music festivals nowadays, unlike Woodstock, festivals still provide a way for newer artists to be discovered, to embrace art and creativity, to

Swinging Through The Air Over Eisenhower Park

While it may fill many people with awe and fear, there are an intrepid few who dream of flying the trapeze. For those brave individuals, there is I.Fly Trapeze. Located in Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, this training facility was founded in 2006 by brothers Marco and Anthony Rosamilia.

Invented by the French acrobat Jules Léotard in 1859, a trapeze is a short horizontal bar hung by ropes or metal straps from a ceiling support. Trapeze acts may be static, swinging or flying, and may be performed solo or as a group act. The name trapeze reflects the trapezoid shape made by the horizontal bar, ropes and ceiling support.

For the trapeze curious, I.Fly offers classes for ages 4 and up. There are no height or weight restrictions; as long as you are able to hold yourself up by the arms, you can participate. It is not necessary to be able to do a pull-up. The routines are all based on timing and physics. Because the facility is outdoors, classes are not conducted in steady rain. Otherwise, the show must go on. If it does rain on the scheduled day, participants are notified and rescheduled.

Classes are between 60 and 90 minutes, have between four and 10 fliers, and cost from $65 to $75. Comfortable clothing that fits close to the skin is required. No footwear is allowed during the lesson, so wear socks. The classes are conducted in a safety harness, with a net, and attached to safety lines held by the instructor. Staff also assist on the take-off platform. Spectators are welcome at no charge and even have their own designated seating area.

First-timers are given instruction

on the ground, a demo on the trapeze, and step-by-step instruction as they’re flying. There is a low practice bar to help students perfect their positions. The instructors create a safe, no-pressure, encouraging environment. The instructors have seen it all, so they are ready to help anyone overcome their hesitation or fear.

I.Fly trapeze has the only circusfocused, intensive summer camp. They have three two-week sessions where campers learn flying trapeze and a number of other circus acts. At the end of each two-week session, the campers put on a full show for family and friends. They also hold professional flying trapeze and circus performances on a monthly basis.

Week-long Camps Featured At Science Museum Of Long Island

Kids get outside, hands-on learning opportunities

For kids ages 4-12 with a CIT program for children 12+, SMLI Science Summer Camp delivers hands-on ways to explore the world of science while discovering how much fun the world of science can be. In the summer, the woods, pond, beach, and streams are our main laboratories and children will be spending much of their time outdoors. Students observe, study, learn, and apply knowledge gained in the natural environment. Enrichment in science is provided by the “Discovery” method, where science comes alive through hands-on contact. Camp offers hands-on ways to explore the world of science in a fun and camp-like atmosphere. Children spend the week performing weird and fun experiments and unraveling the mysteries behind some scientific basics.

Camp hours are 10-3pm. Early Drop off and Late Pick up options are available for parents who need them.

The Camp runs for eight weeks from June 28th to August 25th. Topics range from: chemistry, physics, paleontology, astronomy, marine biology, zoology, environmental science, survival skills, engineering, and forensic science.

Thanks to a grant from the Community Chest of Port Washington we are able to offer Summer Camp scholarships to Port Washington residents through the LI Summer Together program. New this year, thanks to the Chris Holmes Memorial Fund, they are able to offer scholarships to children outside of Port Washington.

Parents should know that the Science Museum’s highly qualified and engaging teaching staff are all college graduates with degrees in science. Parents are allowed to register for one week at a time. SMLI members receive a 10 percent discount per week/per child. Additional

discounts include $15 off per week if registering for ALL 8 weeks of camp, $10 off per week if registering for at least four weeks of camp. Campers are split into groups based on their age and grade they’ll be entering the following school year. Each group has their own unique, age-appropriate activities related to the week’s theme.

Whether joining camp for the entire summer or just one week of scientific fun, every Friday is Fun Friday at SMLI. This extra fun day features different activities like dress up days such as wacky hair day, superhero day, etc; a giant slip n’ slide (be sure to bring a bathing suit) and specialty sprinklers; pizza lunch and ice cream; special guests and activities based on that week’s theme; fun stations including temporary tattoos and more.

Realize Your Dream Home

If you are on a quest to find the perfect home, you know that it can be a daunting process. With the expertise of a strong real estate team to assist you every step of the way, your dream home can become a reality - just like it did for Chris and Maria Giannikourou who had the opportunity to work with The Liappas Team at Compass.

Mr. and Mrs. Giannikourou wanted a house that is “light, bright, and airy”. After an extensive search, The Liappas Team found them a mid-century Flower Hill, Manhasset diamond in the rough Balcony Colonial. Chris and Maria were drawn to its open layout, sixteenfoot soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and natural sunlight. They saw the potential and envisioned a completely updated version of the home with high-end finishes and the latest in technology.

Set on over half an acre with approximately 5,000 square feet of sophisticated luxury, this chic “California coastal” style home underwent a complete renovation, leaving no stone unturned. With 5 bedrooms, 3.55 bathrooms, and a glass-enclosed first-floor gym with views of the rear yard and pool, this home is designed to accommodate modern living. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the oversized primary suite with its own fireplace, dressing room, and luxurious bathroom, to the lavish kitchen with a colossal fourteen-foot island and top-of-the-line appliances.

From radiant heat throughout the entire house to custom stairs, herringbone engineered wood floors, and spa-like bathrooms, this home exudes understated elegance. The use of fine materials such as porcelain, marble, quartzite, and onyx creates a unique blend of timelessness and modernity.

With over seventy years of combined experience, The Liappas Team has the knowledge and insight to guide you. From finding the right property to assisting in the coordination of an extensive renovation, they understand what it takes to bring your dream home to fruition! The Liappas Team is proud to have been a part of the Giannikourous journey and looks forward to assisting in your real estate endeavors as well!

Good Form For Par

How to prevent injury during your next round of golf

Whether you are hitting the course for Father’s Day or an upcoming summer outing, you might consider golf to be a low-impact sport, but a good game can put big demands on your body. Golf requires a lot of physical coordination—which can easily lead to injuries.

From back pain and injury to golfer’s elbow and shoulder pain—sports health expert Dr. Justen Elbayar from NYU Langone Health has some quick tips on how to avoid injuries while out on the green.

Use a golf cart or bag roller

The avid golfer often loves to walk the course and just carry the golf bag on his or her back. That extra weight only increases the risk of a back injury. Get help carrying that heavy load with a bag cart or a golf cart.

Stay hydrated

When summer temps go up, so does the humidity and the risk of dehydration. This can lead to muscle cramping and back pain. Drink plenty of fluids including water and sports drinks.

Good form

It is important to have good form not only to deliver an effective swing, but to also prevent back injuries. Have a friend video your swing so you can see if your form is good. New players often do not have the proper training needed to perfect their swing and prevent injury. Dr. Elbayar emphasizes the need for participants to learn proper form, especially for those with pre-existing conditions like osteoarthritis or other joint-related injuries.

Have fun

Stress can lead to tense muscles and the risk of spraining your back. Enjoy being outdoors and amongst friends.

Dr. Elbayar specializes in sports orthopedic surgery and in shoulder and elbow surgery for NYU Langone Health.

Get Out There And Celebrate The Summer

The summertime is a great time to get out there and experience life at its fullest. The summer is my favorite time of year because it feels like everyone is truly celebrating life; that despite the fact that people are still working, they are on some type of vacation.

For movie lovers and festivalgoers alike, the Stony Brook Film Festival is a one-of-a-kind experience at an affordable rate. Festival attendees will see world premieres and films from many different countries and cultures they cannot see anywhere else.

“For almost all of the films we screen, this will be the only chance anyone here will have to see them,” said Stony Brook

Film Festival and Staller Center Director Alan Inkles. “For many of the filmmakers, it’s one of their most unique experiences too, as we’re one of the festivals with the biggest screen and most engaged audience participating in the Q&A sessions following the screenings.”

Pass options include a VIP gold pass and a regular pass, granting access to all 10 days of the festival, and the New Flex Pass.

“Our content editor calls the Flex Pass the ‘fear of commitment’ pass for those who aren’t sure about purchasing a pass for a 10-day festival,” Inkles said. “It’s the perfect balance for discovering a film festival while giving you the one-time shot at seeing these movies from all over the world that you’ll never ever be able to watch anywhere else.”

The Flex Pass grants access to any five days of the festival and is the perfect opportunity for film fest discovery with the added benefit of flexibility at an

affordable price.

“For me, the best part of the film festival is getting to meet and interact with the filmmakers, directors, and cast and crew from all over the world,” said Kent Marks, festival coordinator and co-programmer. “The all-encompassing storylines in these films are so powerful they stay with you forever.”

Film is the ultimate journey. It can pluck you out of your seat and envelop you in its story in one moment. This year’s Stony Brook Film Festival offers a grand adventure across all corners of the world, with perks and much more for festival passholders.

All passholders receive guaranteed priority seating, Q&As with filmmakers, voting eligibility for the Audience Choice Awards, discounts at partner locations, and a festival gift. Each pass has added perks at different levels. Visit stonybrookfilmfestival. com for details.

Safety Tips For A Safe 4th Of July

The New York State Division of Consumer Protection (DCP) reminds New Yorkers to keep safe while celebrating Independence Day. As we celebrate this annual tradition with festivities ranging from fireworks, picnics, parades, family gatherings and barbecues, let’s also remember basic safety tips that apply to everyone.

“I know many New Yorkers are eager to celebrate Independence Day this year, but we must ensure our celebrations are safe and fun,” said New York State, Secretary of State Robert J. Rodriguez who oversees the NYS Division of Consumer Protection. “Around this holiday, the biggest threats to safety are very close to home. The 4th of July is one of the holidays with the highest number of accidents. We want to make sure the time-honored holiday tradition of fireworks is done safely by following basic tips.”

“Summertime, and especially the Fourth of July, are times of celebration and togetherness, but when fireworks and sparkling devices are added to the party, it can lead to very serious injuries for those involved,” New York State Homeland Security and Emergency Services Commissioner Jackie Bray said. “The best way to stay safe this Fourth of July is to leave the fireworks to the professionals, but if you plan on using sparkling devices, please make sure you

do so as safely as possible.”

Around the 4th of July, there are a lot of fire-related accidents. Every year, thousands of people—most of them children, teens and young adults—are injured while using fireworks. Most of these injuries happen in the month around the 4th of July. The Consumer Product Safety Commission found that, nationally, nearly half of the fireworks-related injuries were to people younger than 20 years of age.

Additionally, the 4th of July is one of the most dangerous holidays to be on the road. According to the National Traffic Safety Administration, dates around this holiday, sadly, often see an increase in impaired driving crashes. Drunk driving isn’t the only risky behavior causing crashes on our roads; drug-impaired and distracted driving are issues too. Many people recognize that driving under the influence is dangerous. However, many people fail to recognize the danger of driving while distracted, especially if they try to talk or text on a cell phone.

Fireworks—What’s Legal

The sale of sparkling devices by registered sellers is authorized from June 1 until July 5 annually. Sparkling devices are ground-based or handheld sparking devices that produce a shower of colored sparks or colored flame, crackling or

whistling noise and smoke. They do not launch into the air. Users must be 18 years or older to use sparkling devices.

Fireworks—What’s Not Legal

Sparkling devices are illegal in New York City and the following counties: Albany, Bronx, Columbia, Kings, Nassau, New York, Orange (prohibited in the cities of Middletown and Newburgh only), Queens, Richmond, Schenectady, Suffolk, Warren and Westchester. The list of counties that prohibit the sale and possession of sparkling devices is ever changing, thus to be sure you are compliant, check with your local county sheriff’s office.

Any other types of fireworks including firecrackers, bottle rockets, roman candles, spinners, and aerial devices are illegal statewide.

Using Sparkling Devices Safely

• Children and sparklers are a dangerous combination. Never allow young children to play with or ignite fireworks, including sparklers. Sparklers burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees fahrenheit. This is hot enough to melt some metals.

• Never throw or point fireworks toward

people, animals, vehicles, structures or flammable materials. Always follow the instructions on the packaging.

• Keep a supply of water close by as a precaution.

• Make sure the person lighting fireworks always wears eye protection.

• Light only one firework at a time and never attempt to relight “a dud.”

• Store fireworks in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.

• If you are impaired by alcohol, don’t use fireworks.

Driving Safely

• Avoid driving while impaired. If you are driving this July 4th, make sure to watch out for others as they may not be sober.

• If you plan to drink, make a plan ahead of time for a sober ride home.

• A sober driver is one who does not drink at all, not the one who has had the least to drink from a group of people. Even if you’ve had only one drink, let someone who hasn’t been drinking take you home.

• If you’re hosting a 4th of July gathering, help the designated drivers out by making sure there are plenty of non-alcoholic beverages.

Lifecycle Of A Ladybug

Ladybugs are fascinating insects that go through different stages of life just like we do. They start as tiny eggs and then transform into colorful beetles that we often see in gardens. Let’s learn about the lifecycle of a ladybug step-by-step.

EGG

A ladybug’s life begins when its mother lays eggs. These eggs are tiny and usually found on the underside of leaves. They are oval-shaped and can be yellow or orange. The eggs are carefully protected by the mother until they hatch.

LARVA

Once the eggs hatch, tiny ladybug larvae emerge. They look like tiny, long insects with six legs. Ladybug larvae have an insatiable appetite and love to eat pests like aphids. They grow quickly and shed their skin several times as they develop.

PUPA

After going through several stages of growth, the ladybug larvae enter the pupa stage. In this stage, they attach themselves to a leaf or stem and form a protective casing called a pupa. Inside the pupa, the larvae transform into adult ladybugs. It’s like a cozy little house where they undergo a magical change.

ADULT LADYBUG

Once the transformation is complete, the adult ladybug

You might not recognize this ugly little alligator-looking thing, but it is ladybug larva, the mid-stage of a ladybug’s life, which is super beneficial to your garden, eating dozens of aphids.

breaks free from the pupa and emerges with colorful wings. Now, it has a hard red or orange shell with black spots. Ladybugs are famous for their bright colors, and they use their wings to fly from one place to another in search of food and mates.

The lifecycle of a ladybug is truly remarkable. From a tiny egg to a crawling larva, then a pupa, and finally transforming into a beautiful adult beetle, they go through incredible changes. Ladybugs are not only beautiful but also helpful in our gardens as they eat harmful pests. So, next time you see a ladybug, remember the amazing journey it has gone through in its lifecycle.

Death Of A Craftsman: How Building Your Own Furniture Tricks Your Brain

LAUREN FELDMAN

lfeldman@antonmediagroup.com

The production of standardized furniture has grown in popularity over recent decades. It seems like one-ofa-kind, labor-intensive pieces are fading out of the market, replaced instead by quick and easy, mass-produced items. On the one hand, customers can spend less money and have a wider selection of goods to choose from. At all different tax brackets, you can enter a gallery or store and know that you do not have to buy up an item before it’s gone… because there are hundreds – if not thousands – of that piece stored in warehouses across the globe. With so much ease and convenience provided by technology, the most difficult decision consumers will make is which item(s) they want for their home.

On the other hand, these changes in consumerism have undermined our satisfaction with the power of our dollars.

Historically, mankind has had to create his environment. We delved from other species when we started using our hands to construct our own societies. If you had a hole in your clothes, you’d mend it. If you wanted some eggs, you’d raise a chicken. Prior to the Industrial Revolution during the mid-1700s to the mid-1800s, labor was localized and laborious, but also very personal to the producer.

Following revolutionary developments in technology, factory production quickly emerged as the new standard. Workers, shut up inside factories for 12-hour shifts, labored away at machines which would put products in stores, catalogues, and warehouses. While these developments helped to standardize, quicken, and ease production, they also created a rift between the producer and the consumer. People became, literally, separated from labor.

It seems counterintuitive at first. Are we not happier that, instead of having to craft our homes from scratch, we can just click “order” on Amazon and be done with it? Apparently not. German intellectual Karl Marx warned, at that time of the revolution, about the dangers of this separation. His theory of alienation encapsulates the estrangement of people from aspects of their human nature as a consequence of the division of labor. He stressed that Laborers not owning the products they labor to create would create a loss of self. It seems in many ways his warnings have proven valid.

The solution, it would seem, is a return

to the roots of our labor by building our own environment once again. And some companies have forefronted this consumer-producer model. This brings us back to IKEA, and what I would call the “Myth of Modern Labor”. IKEA has separated itself from other furniture warehouses not only through cheap product costs, but also the expectation that the consumer will be building the product themselves. There is a sort of satisfaction from the experience. I will regularly point out to guests, “See that desk, I put it together myself!”

But all of this is really just a shadow of labor, a ghost of what used to be the norm. And it came about, not really to reconnect consumers with their products, but as a way to save money.

In 1956, a chance encounter between two men would begin IKEA’s path of deconstruction. Gillis Lundgren was delivering a table to Ingvar Kamprad, son of a local farmer in Almhult, Sweden. After realizing the table would not fit in his car, he disassembled parts of the piece and rebuilt it upon his arrival. This sparked an idea in Kamprad, who saw the potential of what he would later call flat-packing, or the selling of goods as “flat” boxed items, to be constructed at a later date. According to author Ellen Ruppel Shell in her book, Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture, “In addition to minimizing shipping costs, flat packing deftly unloaded the time consuming and expensive chores of delivering and assembling furniture onto the one person reliably willing to do it for free: the customer… Without knowing it,

Lundgren had laid the groundwork for one of the great marketing gambits of the 20th century: the discrete transfer of costs from seller to buyer.”

It was in this way that IKEA reframed consumer perceptions of buying furniture. The expectation for consumers to construct their own products was new and stood out in the market. And many people did – and still do – appreciate this process. In some ways, it is easier to load a box and build it at home, instead of figuring out how to ship a piece or place something fully constructed in your car. And there is satisfaction in putting together an item for one’s home. However, let us not be disillusioned with the construction of modern standardized furniture. This method, pitched as a way to return to your roots, save space, and feel satisfaction, is also a means by which companies place the burden of construction, cost-free, onto you. It is a midway between the convenience of purchasing an item already made, and the fulfillment of making something yourself, and as such, really does not fully deliver in either category.

Airborne Litter, Kites And Drones Can Cause Outages

June is the time of year when outdoor spaces get crowded with drones, kites and metallic foil balloons. PSEG Long Island reminds customers that any of these objects can become entangled in overhead electric equipment and cause a host of problems.

To mitigate these risks, PSEG Long Island encourages the public to follow these safety guidelines:

• Fly your drone at or below 400 feet.

• Stay at least 200 feet away from power lines or other electrical equipment.

• Do not fly in dark, stormy or windy conditions

• Read and follow the drone manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the safety of your drone and people around you.

• Never fly kites or balloons in the rain or during an electrical storm.

• Never cross a road or street while flying a kite or holding a balloon.

• Kites and Mylar balloons should be kept away from overhead power lines and equipment, and never purposely released into the air.

• All balloons with helium should be secured to weights that prevent them from floating away.

• To properly dispose of a Mylar balloon, safely puncture it in several places to release the helium, and discard it in the trash.

• NEVER touch a power line. Do not attempt to retrieve a balloon, kite, drone or anything caught in an overhead power line. Report it by contacting PSEG Long Island at 800-490-0075 so a specially trained crew can safely address the issue.

Local Beauty Destination Celebrates Milestone Anniversary

aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

In 1973, Best & Co. department store, a landmark building on Northern Boulevard, sat empty. Michael Mazzei reimagined the space as a “department store of beauty” and set out to make it a one-stop shop for every beauty need. This vision became nuBest Salon and Spa. The business is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

Mazzei is one of the most beloved and well-respected individuals in the professional hair care industry. His vision of beauty and avantgarde approach to style has inspired stylists from all over the world. He has been instrumental in defining modern hair for men and women. Mazzei and his collaborator Leland Hirsch also developed ARTEC worldwide, a global hair care brand that was purchased by L’Oréal in 2002.

Michael Mazzei’s son, Jamie Mazzei, grew up in the salon watching his father at his craft. “I was born here pretty much. nuBest was created when I was four years old. I spent my entire life in the salon. My father, I consider him a creative genius, he had a vision unlike anybody else and was a talent in the industry. Second to none. He came to the U.S. with an eighth-grade education and lives the American dream unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. And I’m truly proud to be his son.”

Jamie isn’t the only family member to join the staff. Michael Mazzei’s nephews Vincent and Christian Mazzei have also played an integral part in its continued success. In addition, Marco Mazzei, Jamie’s son, has recently joined the nuBest team after completing his training and obtaining his license while still in high school.

Part of what makes nuBest so special is that they have developed their own training system that keeps the level of service consistent, no matter which staff member is providing it. “We have a very specific way of cutting and coloring hair here. So the whole idea was to create a system that the entire salon could do, along with their own creativity. But the idea is that if you came into the salon, and your operator wasn’t here that day, you could go to someone else and be confident that you would get the same thing. We tried to drive across (to the staff) consistency, I think that’s really been a big part of our success,” said Mazzei.

2023 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

Long time clients give insight into what keeps them coming back year after year:

“The incredible team at nuBest has been providing my family and I with the best salon services for over a decade. The entire experience is always top notch. The beautiful seasonal decor always creates a relaxing environment and the multi-talented stylists never disappoint. They are beyond friendly, skilled and always eager to create looks that leave you feeling fresh and fabulous. nuBest is truly the best!” —Diana

“Three generations of our family have enjoyed the beauty of nuBest that goes far beyond the services they provide. For decades they have become a part of the fabric of our lives…Beautifying us in our special moments and lifting us up in our harder times. We feel honored to be part of the nuBest family! Happy 50th Anniversary!”

—The Minieri and Cartolano Families

“What can I say about nuBest and the nuBest team? Always ahead of the times! The best caring and accommodating team. I’ve been a client for 50 years! My children have been clients as well! Congratulations on your milestone anniversary!” —Joanne Kaye (nuBest client)

CONTRACT BRIDGE — BY STEVE BECKER

CONTRACT BRIDGE

Good reasoning helps a lot

of diamonds, East playing the 8-2-7 in that order, and shifts to the deuce of spades.

It is clear that if East has the A-Q of spades, it makes no difference whether declarer plays the jack or king from dummy — the contract goes down in either case. It is also clear that if West has the ace, the king is the winning play, while if West has the queen, the jack is the winning play.

How does South resolve such a problem? Superficially, which card to play seems to be a tossup, but it is at this point that declarer calls upon his analytical ability.

He sees that he cannot make the contract, whatever he does, if the trump finesse he plans to take fails. South therefore assigns the king of hearts to West. To assume otherwise would be conceding defeat.

king

It is said that a fine declarer plays as though he can see through the backs of the cards. This is, of course, not so. The truth is that a fine declarer does well over the long haul because he reasons well, and not because he has magical powers beyond the reach of ordinary folks.

Consider this deal where South winds up in three hearts on the bidding shown. West leads the K-Q-J

Declarer then says to himself that if West had started with the K-Q-J of diamonds, the king of hearts and the ace of spades, he would surely have opened the bidding as dealer.

“Therefore,” reasons South, “I am forced to assume that West does not have the ace of spades.” Accordingly, he plays the jack from dummy at trick four and eventually makes the contract.

Bethpage Students Face Off At Field Day

Bethpage students at Charles Campagne Elementary School celebrated their annual Field Day. The morning consisted of fun outdoor relay races and games as the study body was split into a gold team and blue team. That afternoon, the friendly competition continued between the two teams through a game show in the school’s multipurpose room.

The “Brain Challenge” show was hosted by Allen Strauss, President of Hollyrock Entertainment. He was supported by his assistant, Ben Mottahedeh. During the event, students from the gold team and blue team faced off in trivia, a Simon Says game, a hula hoop competition, tug-of-war and more. Teachers also had their own round of trivia and a tug-of-war round in which students cheered them on. It was a great day filled with team spirit and high energy.

Perfection On Seaford Diamonds

It’s not often that a perfect game is thrown during any given season. But this spring, Seaford witnessed not one, but two perfect games.

Billy Kind threw a perfect game for the Vikings baseball team on April 25, it was an 11-0 win over Locust Valley. But not to be outdone by her schoolmate, Skyler Secondino tossed a perfect game on May 22, during a 12-0 win, also against Locust Valley.

It’s been a magical season for the Seaford baseball and softball teams. The baseball team won it’s first-ever Nassau County title. The softball team captured the Nassau County and Long Island championships, making Seaford Long Island’s new Diamond District. For the softball team, it was the first county championship since 2011 and the first Long Island championship since 2005. But back to those perfect games. While

the pressure mounted and their teammates kept mum in the dugout, both young pitchers handled the pressure well.

“I started picking up on it about halfway through the game, then it really hit me,” said Kind. “As the game went on, I definitely felt more pressure. It was really exciting and I had trust in the whole team. Everyone knew

about it, but no one brought it up.”

In the magical game, the Seaford baseball team jumped out to an early lead with a grand slam in the first inning.

“It definitely helps, our lineup is very strong and we usually score runs early,” said Kind. “Pitching with a lead always helps, it takes off some pressure.”

Billy’s perfect game was aided by a special play in the outfield. Luke Walsh made a diving catch on a low line drive to preserve perfection.

“It was amazing,” said Kind. “Everyone knew what was going on. He went all out to make a great play.”

Secondino, a sophomore, already flirted with perfection. In the previous softball game, she threw a no hitter, but allowed one walk. So in a sense, outstanding performances have become the norm.

“I really wasn’t even focusing on a perfect game,” said Skyler. “I was just trying to get the win. When we ended the game, I said to

myself, ‘I am pretty sure that was a perfect game.’ “

Indeed it was.

Skyler has been on the varsity softball team since 8th grade, but this was her first season as a starting pitcher. Helping her along the way is sophomore catcher Katie Young, who Skyler calls, “amazing.”

“At first I was nervous, I honestly realized that if I just gave myself the confidence I needed that I could go as far as we needed to go. Honestly, I am shocking myself every time I pitch. I was not expecting it. But I work hard and my team plays a huge part in all of the success. It’s a great accomplishment for all of us.”

Kind is a senior and will bring his pitching talents to Adelphi next spring. He threw a one-hit shutout in the game that securing the Vikings first baseball county title.

“We are all really close to each other,” said Billy of this team. “This is a small team but we go out there for each other every game.”
