In Train History, An Albertson Mystery

Request for a shelter dates back to at least 1880s

JANET BURNS

As the second stop on the Oyster Bay branch, Albertson Station has been around a lot longer than its modern condition may suggest.

First known as Albertson’s in early timetables and other texts, the station was first established as a milk station in early 1874, and then as a flag stop the following summer.

According to the 2018 book Long Island Rail Road: Oyster Bay Branch, by retired LIRR branch manager and railroad historian David Morrison, Albertson is also the station where the first railroad piggyback trains were originated.

Today, its unassuming platforms and weather shelters, both simple yet effective in design, also likely don’t manage to hint at just how desired they were by local residents a few generations back.

According to available historical records, people and/or businesses who were frequenting the station a century and a half ago, during a relative boom-era of agricultural freight on Long Island, were soon calling for a covered shelter to be built, in order to alternately reduce the beating sun or driving snow for those waiting at the stop, just as today’s transit shelters are meant to do.

However, it seems Albertson residents and workers may have had to wait nearly a generation for any sort of covered area.

In a February 22, 1883 edition of the Queens County Sentinel, a roundup of local news reads: “Mr. Campbell, representing a New York firm of bottlers of milk, informed our reporter Tuesday that there was a very fair prospect of the firm erecting a building at Albertson station; in fact he feels quite sure it will be done. This will be good news to the residents in this section.”

On May 5, 1887, the Sentinel wrote, under the heading ‘Would Like a Depot’: The people of Albertson Station are very much in need of depot accommodations and intend to present their case to the railroad officials. It is estimated, we are informed, that for the last ten years, the freight and passenger traffic from this place alone amounts to $10,000 per annum. On this subject a correspondent says: “We have never yet had so much as a roof to cover us or our merchandise and passengers and freight are exposed to the weather, no matter how severe it is.” If the Company who intend to expend $80,000 at Jamaica will only move some of the relics to our station we shall feel very grateful, as we realize we are their humble servants and any favors will be thankfully received.

On October 13, 1887, the Sentinel reported, “The residents of Albertson Station are quite solicitous about that depot that at one time looked so promising for them, but just as soon as the $80,000 depot at Jamaica is commenced, they desire that the company shall send along the old material and make a covering for the platform be it ever so trifling.”

It’s hard to know what happened in the next two-to-three decades, as searches of old newspapers didn’t turn up any further such coverage.

We do know that a small station depot building was finally completed along I.U. Willets in Albertson in 1913, which appeared to have fairly wide eaves. It was then “razed” again in 1954, according to historians. making way for covered trackside shelters and then, since the late ‘90s, raised platforms, shelters, and ticket machines.

As for the likelihood of there having been an earlier Albertson trackside shelter,

it perhaps doesn’t bode well that, in the archived Documents of the Senate of the State of New York for 1915, there’s an entry under “Correspondence Complaints” which reads: “Albertson Taxpayers Assn.

v. L.I.R.R. Co. - request for shelter at Albertson Station, etc.”

But today, in the context of 150 years, those trackside shelters may seem all the cozier for it.

SCO Family Of Services Names New President, CEO

In early August, the Board of Directors of SCO Family of Services, a leading provider of essential human services in New York, announced the appointment of Suzette Gordon as the new President and CEO. Ms. Gordon, who served as Interim President since December 2022, was chosen after an exhaustive search conducted by an external, independent search firm and a special committee of the Board.

Ms. Gordon joined SCO in January 2019 as the agency’s first Chief Legal Counsel wherein she represented SCO in all legal

matters, provided legal guidance to the President & CEO and staff, oversaw SCO’s in-house legal services department and corporate compliance program, and served as the liaison for outside legal counsel to ensure that SCO complied with all applicable laws and regulations. In 2020, Ms. Gordon’s responsibilities were expanded to include oversight of the Human Resources department and Communications and Marketing departments. In December 2022, Ms. Gordon was promoted to Interim President and CEO of the agency and is

credited with reimagining and strengthening SCO’s leadership team, improving program optimization, and ensuring cultural alignment with SCO’s mission, vision, and values.

“I am thrilled and incredibly thankful to the SCO Board of Directors for selecting me as the next President and CEO of our organization. SCO’s mission is to provide vital human services to help children and families fulfill their greatest potential. I believe in that mission, not only for the people we serve, but for the 3,000 team members who work

tirelessly every day to make a difference. My priority in entering this role is to further build upon the noble history of SCO by identifying new and innovative ways to meet our clients where they are and provide them with the resources they need to build a strong foundation for the future. I’m ready to work alongside the Board, with our stakeholders, and with our dedicated staff to bring SCO into a new and exciting era,” said Gordon in a statement.

In early August, Mezzo Theatrical Productions (MTP) delighted local audiences (and gave them plenty of timeless food for thought, too) with a production of Steven Sondheim’s beloved two-act musical Into The Woods

Earlier this summer, Nassau Illustrated News spoke with MTP artistic director John Mezzo, who also took on two smaller roles in the play, on how he and his wifeslash-fellow MTP artistic director Cathryn were putting on a classic storybook tale with a community theatre’s budget.

For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic struck, the campus also recognized those team members who, over the past

four years, surpassed significant annual milestones as employees of SUNY Old Westbury. More than 100 employees were honored for having surpassed 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30,35,40,45, and 50 years of service.

Investigation Follows LIRR Derailment In Queens

ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF

editors@antonmediagroup.com

Transit officials are investigating after a Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) train derailed earlier this month near Jamaica and Hillside Stations.

On Thursday, August 3, an eightcar train headed for Hempstead was about half a mile outside Jamaica when the train went off its rails, at around 11:12 a.m., and soon came to a stop next to the tracks. The train remained upright despite the briefly bumpy ride, and 13 people reported injuries from the incident, most of them minor.

According to the Trains newswire, the derailment damaged more than 1,600 feet of track and 800 feet of third rail, and caused some delays and/or track changes to late Thursday and early Friday LIRR service. Repairs were reportedly completed by the following Monday, August 7, in time for the morning commute.

As of August 9, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has yet to publicly announce the cause of the derailment or other results of their ongoing investigation

into the matter, but did say they feel confident that driver error was not at fault.

On August 7, ABC7 reported that “sources familiar” with the investigation had said that the train derailed after passing over a switch that was “set to reverse,” i.e. was not in the correct position for the Hempstead-bound train.

The same day, MTA Chairman and CEO Janno Lieber said his agency is taking its time to do a “proper investigation,” which “takes more than four days.”

On August 3, in the hours following the derailment, Lieber spoke to press alongside the MTA’s Chief Safety Officer, Pat Warren, the LIRR’s Chief of Operations, Rob Free, SMART union chairman Anthony Simon, and NYC Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh.

Lieber provided the following comments on the day of the derailment:

Train 722 departing Grand Central, headed to Hempstead, derailed at approximately 11:12 a.m. [August 3]. We had MTA Long Island Rail Road personnel on the scene. First of all, I note it’s an eightcar derailment, appears to be all eight cars of the train derailed. Long Island Rail Road personnel were on

the scene within minutes coming from both Hillside Maintenance Facility and Jamaica. So, from both ends, you had Long Island Rail Road personnel on the scene, and they assisted the train crew in dealing with passengers. The commissioner will speak to the injuries. But there were some injuries, some folks who were shaken up and they were quickly attended to. We had water on the train and the conditions, obviously the temperature is moderate, and the conditions were maintained pretty good for the passengers while they waited for the rescue train.

Approximately 90 minutes later, the rescue train was able to, with the assistance of the FDNY, to take them back to Jamaica, where there were folks on hand from the FDNY team to deal with their conditions ... I just want to close by thanking the FDNY for their tremendous response. The NYPD was on hand as well. The MTAPD is on hand both to support the dealing with the passengers and also to begin the investigation. The Federal Railroad administrator who is the safety regulator was immediately notified. They have personnel on hand as well. And it’s been a tremendous team effort to deal with this and to avoid a more serious condition.

On August 3, at around 11:12 a.m., Train 772 from Grand

ReWild: Sparking Sustainability Across Long Island

LAUREN FELDMAN

Lfeldman@antonmediagroup.com

It starts with the very ground of our being, the Earth we all live on.”

Rooted in the soil we grow, ReWild Long Island has helped create more than 10 sustainable gardens and 4 chapters dedicated to creating earth-friendly habitats in their yards.

Collaborating with a variety of groups from the Science Museum of Long Island to the Sands Point Preserve, these young, eco-conscious individuals are planting Oysters, re-establishing local bio systems, and showing the strength of Long Island preservation. The internship program has grown substantially since its launch in 2020. Once only 16 eco-superheroes were ready to make an impact; now about 40 have signed up to work with ReWild into the month of October.

Raju Rajan, founder and Board President

of ReWild Long Island, credits growing eco-awareness as a source of the program’s success. “[There is] a growing awareness of climate change and bio-diversity loss. As people come in to the suburbs, they are realizing that a lot of green spaces are being taken for granted. Lightning bugs are dissappearing, moths are dissappearing... As a community, we are becoming more aware of what is happening. Especially younger people who have a sense of climate anxiety about all this. But the fact that you can turn [climate anxiety] into action, in your own backyard — in your own community spaces

— and actually help change those things... that is very powerful.”

Rajan also adds that putting one’s hands to the soil can be a very rewarding process for those willing to give it a try. “It doesn’t take very long to grow tomatoes or corn, or pull out invasives. This is happening in a matter of weeks, and you are able to see the changes you are directly making.”

The organization takes action through a variety of means. One is education, providing the community with information about the value of sustainable landscaping together with in-depth information on how

to accomplish this. Such information includes, for instance, plant selection, design, composting, water use, vendor selection and other practical advice on implementation in private and public spaces. Educational resources include their website, blogs, zoom sessions, social media and in-person meetings.

Another aim of the organization is enablement. This includes procuring and making available the resources for sustainable landscaping so that they are cost-affordable and locally relevant. Enablement actions include ReWild’s native plant sales, where they obtain hard-to-find native plants from specialized nurseries at wholesale prices and make them available to the general public. ReWild also contracts with native plant experts to create and customize garden designs based on native plants, and makes affordable consulting services available.

Finally, there are eco-system development efforts. Conventional landscaping is a $100 billion business annually. A sustainable future requires multiple facets of this industry to move towards sustainability. This includes landscapers, architects, garden centers, nurseries/growers, real estate developers, landscape equipment manufacturers, chain stores, chemical manufacturers etc., that are invested in conventional chemical-based monocultures. ReWild forms alliances and partnerships to bring conventional landscaping industry from extractive and monocultural practices to regenerative and resilient practices. This

sustainable system is an essential tool to realizing ReWild’s mission. A big aspect of ReWild’s ecosystem is partnership with other community organizations that work towards similar goals with, perhaps, differences in emphasis. ReWild believes in actively seeking and creating linkages so that duplicative efforts are minimized while impact is maximized. ReWild also believes in engaging our political representatives to educate them and improve the quality of laws that impact the environment.

So what does this mean for the every day home (or garden) owner? What can we all do to work towards a more sustainable ecosystem on Long Island?

The organization names five practices as key to sustainability:

Compost: Our yards and kitchens produce a steady stream of organic waste that can be turned into fertile soil that sequesters carbon and creates habitat under ground. Soil is the foundation of all civilization. ReWild promotes practices such as composting, vermiculture and bokashi fermentation to turn organic waste streams into valuable fertilizer for our gardens.

Reduce/Reuse/Recycle: Sustainable gardening should not become yet another excuse for buying stuff we don’t really need. Planting perennials reduces the carbon footprint associated with annual plants

purchased from box stores each year. Our yards and kitchens produce a steady stream of organic and plastic waste that should be reduced and recycled with creative “second uses” for things that would otherwise be junked.

Organic Gardening: ReWild also believes that locally grown healthy food enhances our health and our connection to the land. They encourage residents to grow food alongside their native plants that attract pollinators and use composted yard waste to mulch and fertilize gardens. We need to stop spraying chemicals that hurt pollinators and devastate the ecosystem. ReWild has also created strong partnerships with local organizations that focus on issues of food security and sustainability to help mitigate hunger in our community.

Water Wisely: Long Island’s aquifers, streams and ocean waters need to be protected from pollution and recharged as part of the water cycle. The use of rain barrels, biospheres, rain gardens and smart irrigation systems, coupled with native plantings, provide an feasible pathway towards landscaping that protects rather than degrades our waters.

Plant Natives: ReWild works to introduce native plant based gardens in public and private spaces, transforming them into thriving micro-habitats for a variety of insects, bees, birds and butterflies. In

addition, their mission is to educate the public at large in the value of ReWilding, as well as to advocate for change in community practices and regulations. They seek to achieve the benefits of conserving water, using fewer chemicals & pesticides, as well as bringing more bees/birds/butterflies to our neighborhoods.

It only takes a handful of like-minded people to raise the awareness and inspire

repair and restoration. ReWild aims to shift the cultural narrative away from perfectly maintained spaces that are barren of pollinators, towards responsibility and dedication to life-sustaining habits. It is also paramount to engage our political representatives and work together to refine laws to better protect our environment.

With No End To Scorching Temps In Sight, Boaters Must Be Prepared

Five tips for boating in severe heat

As the country continues to bake under record high temperatures, boaters often head to the water for respite. However, some may be unprepared for what it takes to withstand a high-heat day. Here are five tips from the nonprofit BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water that can help ensure everyone’s safety as temperatures climb.

1. Create shade. Direct sunlight can make the air feel 10- to 15 degrees warmer. Reduce the time you spend in it. If you don’t have a cabin or bimini top that offers sun protection, use wide-brimmed hats; loose fitting, moisture-wicking clothing (try a UPF-rated long sleeve shirt); or fishing neck gaiters are next best. Of course, reef-friendly sunblock is a must for burn prevention.

2. Keep extra water aboard. Yeah, that’s a no-brainer. However, you’d be surprised

like out of a firehose on super hot days! (Good boating housekeeping tip: Keep a supply of bottled water in a locker or dry bilge area next to the hull, below the waterline. The water will stay cooler than the air temperature, and it makes it easy

3. Know how to stay cool, safely. Of course, boaters can take advantage of the best way to stay cool: jump in! Just don’t jump off a moving vessel. Find a safe, out-the-way anchorage, drop the hook

4. Know the signs of heatstroke. Heatstroke occurs when the body is unable to cool down. It can happen either gradually or suddenly. Telltale signs are heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, headache, fainting, skin hot to the touch, nausea or vomiting. Infants and children are especially susceptible. Immediately moving the victim to a cooler environment and providing lots of fluids can help buy time for a heatstroke victim until you reach first responders.

5. Have a way to communicate. If you have an unexpected breakdown or other issue, this is not the time of year to be stuck out on the water. Not only is the temperature a significant stressor, atmospheric conditions, especially in the afternoon hours, can bring sudden and powerful storms. Ensure your VHF is operational, and bring your cellphone, keeping it dry and charged.

Hamburgers vs. Hot Dogs

Ahh, the great outdoor barbeque season is in full swing on Long Island.

It starts on Memorial Day weekend and ends sometime in October. Long Islanders of all shapes and sizes, regardless of financial status, gather with friends and family in backyards to charbroil just about anything.

It doesn’t matter if you prefer the carcinogenic fumes of charcoal or the inherent danger of propane; we gather to watch the host’s grill master work their flame-broiled magic on many different culinary delights. Some grates contain chicken or tightly wound reels of sausage. Others have taken the time to create skewers combining shrimp with pearl onions and squares of bell peppers. Don’t forget the grill masters that use wooden planks to cook salmon or grill baskets for sliced vegetables. It takes a seasoned professional to properly cook steak on a grill, like my friend Billy Taylor or my son Kevin. Many have tried, but few have succeeded.

Regardless of the chef’s menu (or ability), these gatherings offer hot dogs and hamburgers.

Of course, there have been endless debates about which of

Summer is a time of pure bliss and joy. The sun shines brightly, casting its warm and golden rays upon us, enveloping us in a comforting and soothing embrace. The world comes alive with vibrant colors and fragrant scents. The gentle breeze carries the laughter of children playing and the sweet aroma of blooming flowers. It is a season of endless possibilities and adventures, where time seems to slow down. The days are longer, allowing us to bask in the beauty of nature and indulge in various outdoor activities. From beach trips to barbecues, picnics to pool parties, summer brings people closer together, fostering a sense of community and connection. It is a time to create unforgettable memories with loved ones, to rejuvenate and recharge our spirits. In the enchanting realm of summer, the worries and stresses of everyday life fade away, leaving only a sense of freedom, happiness, and pure bliss.

Summer, oh how it frustrates and drains me! The scorching heat is unbearable, making it impossible to step foot outside without immediately breaking into a sweat. The air feels heavy and suffocating, leaving me longing for a breath of

these grilling staples is healthier for you. Studies indicate hot dogs have fewer calories, but hamburgers can be a better choice, especially when made from lean meat. You can hand-craft hamburgers with whatever ground meat you desire, whereas hot dogs are pretty much out of the package, so their sodium level is higher. For those of you who can make your own hot dogs, more power to you.

Enjoying hot dogs and hamburgers at a barbeque is not about eating healthy; it never has been. You can eat healthy the other six days of the week. This day is about eating whatever comes off that grill, right?

Which one do you prefer?

Hamburgers are obviously more popular than almost any other food when considering the proliferation of fast food and specialty places every 500 feet. The only place I can think of that specializes in hot dogs is Nathans, and they are few and far between. Besides the occasional food truck on the side of the road, getting two hot dogs and a soda for lunch is hard to find.

It’s no mystery that I love a good hamburger and prefer Burger King over McDonald’s when making fast food decisions. A good backyard BBQ should provide a robust platter of burger accessories like pickles, onions, lettuce, and tomato. However, I’m happy if I have cheese and ketchup.

But I secretly love a good, crisp, snappy hot dog.

Nothing against those plump Ballpark franks, but give me a long, hanging-over-the-bun dog any day. I’ll put almost anything on a hot dog – except ketchup. I love those dirty-water dogs from the cart with sauerkraut or onions. I was never a fan of relish, but give me squeeze cheese and smother it in chili!

Once in Baltimore, just outside of Camden Yards before a ballgame, Kevin and I had to try

days of fall.

Truth be told, I didn’t write one word of the paragraph in praise of summer or the lament about summer. Nor did I plagiarize from some other author. No, I asked “AI” (an artificial intelligence app) to write me a positive and a negative paragraph about summer.

THE SPIRIT OF OUR TOWN

Fr. Ralph Sommer

fresh, cool air. The sun’s relentless rays beat down on me, leaving me exhausted and fatigued. My once favorite outdoor activities become unbearable as the intense heat drains every ounce of energy from my body. The mosquitoes seem to thrive during this time, invading my personal space and leaving me covered in itchy bites. And let’s not forget the never-ending chorus of lawnmowers and construction work that constantly disturbs any attempt at peace and tranquility. Summer, you are a season of discomfort and inconvenience, testing my patience and leaving me yearning for the crisp, refreshing

an “Oriole” dog – cream cheese, peanut butter, and jelly before a ballgame. Disgusting, right? Wrong! It was actually much better than I thought. While on vacation in Denver, Kevin and his wife Arielle visited a place called “Biker Jim’s Gourmet Hot Dogs,” where you can sample dogs made from elk, wild boar, ostrich, or a combination of rattlesnake and pheasant. Arielle had the wild boar with cream cheese and caramelized onions, while Kevin tried the elk dog. The official report was that they were fantastic.

So, as the calendar turns into August and we celebrate the last few weeks of summer, enjoy your fancy grilled shish-kabob, salmon, or sausage and peppers while fighting off the yellowjackets and sipping mojitos. There is still plenty of room on the barbeque for grilled chicken and steak. Wrap those baking potatoes in foil and put them on the top rack. Don’t forget the corn-on-the-cob!

Me? I’ll pick at the chips and dip as everyone scrambles for the burnt chicken and makes a plate with salad. I’ll bide my time until you clear the grate and start lining up the dogs and burgers.

And don’t forget the cream cheese.

What do you think? Did “AI” get it right? Do I need to write anymore? As I waited the less than two seconds for “AI” to honor my request to write these paragraphs, I was filled with anticipation to see if I would be moved, enlightened, amused, or disturbed by what I’d see on my computer screen. My ultimate reaction was: “well duh!” “AI” produced a list of summertime realties which any of us could put together in couple of minutes. Yes “ai” was faster, but not really insightful. It wasn’t wrong in what it wrote, but so what? Beaches and barbecues, mosquitos and muggy weather. Yes. Those things happen in summer.

But what about the firsts and lasts of summer? These are the things that claim us more than a hot dog or sunscreen: Youngest child finally has courage to jump off diving board. Eldest child hangs

out in backyard with friends, about to disperse off to a dozen colleges, never to be together in the same way again. Elderly mom complains of being cold even though the temperature is 95 degrees – might she be gone by Labor Day? Car screeching…seemingly endless pause…crash! Sirens. Is it anyone I know? Even if not, someone is bleeding August blood. Best friends selling their lakeside place. We won’t ever be back there again. Carnival goldfish gone – surprised it lasted this long. Braces in…braces off. Last baseball game before outgrowing the league.

All of these moments mark lives moving on through the summer and there is a haunting realization that we will not pass this way again. Our kids are growing up too fast. We are losing treasured people and treasured moments. For sure there will be new joys in the summers to come, but neither we nor “AI” can be sure of what awaits us.

So for now, until “AI” takes over the world, let us each take some time and look at the summer we are now living and breathe it all in, really taste it, let the warmth penetrate our souls, and let us be grateful for these remaining days.

Proactive Measures Taken To Ensure Safety At Amusement Parks And Fairs Statewide

The New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) and Department of State today remind New Yorkers of proactive measures taken to ensure a fun, safe amusement park and fair season for families and visitors statewide. NYSDOL inspects all rides at stationary parks outside of New York City at least once a year and inspects rides at traveling carnivals or fairs every time the rides are set up at a new location. A ride cannot legally operate without a permit from NYSDOL. In 2022, the Department inspected nearly 7,000 rides across New York State.

“Our inspectors work diligently and thoroughly to ensure that every piece of equipment functions properly before anyone boards these rides,” said New York State Department of Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon. “When you see the NYSDOL inspection tag, you know that the ride has been thoroughly inspected and is safe to board.”

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated that 24,013 injuries caused by mobile amusement park attractions were seen by hospital emergency departments in 2022 alone. Many injuries that occur on amusement park and fair rides are preventable by following simple safety guidelines.

“Amusement parks, fairs and carnivals are an exciting way to spend time with your family during the summer, but a fun day can quickly turn into a bad experience if the proper safety procedures are not followed,” said Secretary of State Robert J. Rodriguez. “Before heading to one of these attractions, parents and children alike should be aware of the rules that are in place to keep everyone safe and know the warning signs of a potentially unsafe ride.”

NYSDOL Inspections Are a Three-Step Process:

1. As rides are brought into a fair or festival location, each individual part and component of each individual ride is inspected for defects.

2. The ride is assembled and inspected again to ensure that all components have been assembled and are properly secured.

3. The operator of the ride is required to run the ride, and it is inspected once more while operating. The person operating the ride is also observed to ensure that they are operating the ride correctly. NYSDOL places dated inspection tags on each ride after it has passed inspection. No ride that fails an inspection is permitted to operate, but these tags allow families to see plainly that the ride has been inspected and deemed safe. Information on the tag includes the name of the ride, the name of the inspector, the date it was inspected, and

whether it passed or failed.

New York State is home to more than 50 county and youth fairs that operate from July through the middle of September, with the Long Island Fair closing out the season. Local fairs allow visitors a chance to sample locally grown food. These events also provide an opportunity to learn about local agriculture, including where our food comes from, and how it is grown, harvested, and marketed to the public.

Tips for Safe Visits to Amusement Parks and Fairs

Ride Safe:

Respect the rules: Obey listed age, height, weight, and health restrictions, and follow all directions posted on signs, given by ride operators, or announced through recorded messages. These rules were created for everyone’s safety.

1. Don’t pressure anybody to ride: Never force anyone, especially children, to get on attractions they don’t want to ride.

2. Buckle up: Always use all safety equipment provided on rides and never attempt to get free or loosen restraints or other safety devices. Keep hands, arms, legs, and feet inside rides at all times.

3. Keep loose items off rides: Don’t carry loose items like wallets, glasses, cell phones, or hats with you on any ride. Taking photos or video on a ride is dangerous.

4. Stay seated: Remain seated in the ride until it comes to a complete stop and you

are instructed to exit.

5. Pace yourself: Take frequent breaks if you’re riding high g-force rides, such as roller coasters. Repeated high g-force rides can result in the loss of consciousness, which can lead to serious injury.

6. Stay alert: If you are injured or see any unsafe behavior or conditions on a ride, report it to an employee at the venue immediately.

Beat the Heat:

1. Take breaks: Summer temperatures get hot, and you can end up walking or standing in the sun more than usual at amusements parks or fairs. Take breaks from back-to-back rides like roller coasters to avoid feeling ill. Sit down and grab a beverage if you start to feel tired.

2. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration, but don’t drink alcohol and get on rides. Getting on rides while impaired puts yourself and others at risk.

3. Find first aid stations: It’s smart to know where first aid stations are located in case of an emergency.

Child Safety:

1. Know the rules: Make sure children can understand and follow safe behavior for the day, especially when on rides. If you don’t think your child will be able to follow the rules for a ride, do not let them get on. Never sneak children onto rides if they are below the posted height, weight,

or age limits.

2. Watch before you ride: Watch any rides with your child so you both know what to expect before getting on. You can also read any instruction signs aloud with your child and point out the ride operator, exit locations, and entrance locations.

3. Make sure children are seated safely: Make sure children know they must use all safety equipment on rides. Don’t assume a ride is safe for children if you hold on to them. If you hold on to your child, you can’t look after yourself, and you may both be at risk of injury.

4. Have a plan in case your child gets lost: Teach children what to do if they get separated from you. Point out uniformed park employees who can help them and designate a conspicuous spot as a meeting place if your child gets lost. NYSDOL enforces amusement ride safety throughout the state, except in New York City. Labor Department employees inspect all rides at stationary amusement parks at least once a year, and rides at traveling fairs or carnivals are inspected every time the ride is set up in a new location. A ride cannot be operated without a permit from the Department of Labor. More information is available at dol.ny.gov/ride-safe-ny.

All amusement rides that pass inspection and are safe to ride will have a DOL inspection tag that is visible at the ride’s point of entry. If you do not see the tag, please ask the operator to show it to you.

Staff Sergeant Benjamin Bromley: Bring Him Home

chinko@antonmediagroup.com

The anguish that envelops families when a soldier is declared missing-in-action is an emotional ordeal that defies easy description. The heartbreak is profound, a unique blend of uncertainty, hope, and despair that stretches their emotional resilience to its limits.

Families caught in this agonizing limbo grapple with myriad emotions. Hope initially prevails, clinging to the possibility that their loved one will return, safe and sound. They imagine scenarios where their soldier is still alive, surviving against the odds. Yet, as time stretches on, the emotional toll becomes heavier. The uncertainty chips away at hope, and the weight of not knowing becomes an unbearable burden.

Every news update, every unopened letter and every knock on the door become moments of intense anticipation and dread. Each glimmer of hope that their soldier might be found contrasts sharply with the growing fear that they may never see them again. The absence of closure amplifies the pain, as families are unable to fully mourn or find solace.

The impact on families’ lives is multifaceted. The emotional rollercoaster strains relationships, testing bonds as family members cope differently with the uncertainty. The daily routine becomes a reminder of the absence, leaving a void that seems impossible to fill. Celebrations lose their joy, and even the mundane becomes a reminder of the soldier’s absence.

The heartbreak of missing-in-action is not just an individual struggle—it reverberates through communities and affects the broader support network. The community rallies to provide comfort, but the ache remains. It’s a shared burden of pain and waiting.

Several months ago, I received the following letter at the news desk, which not only piqued my curiosity, but then initiated my research into the other soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines who remain missing-in-action, whose names and stories you can read about here in the following months.

“My name is Jacob Woodward. I am the great nephew of Staff Sergeant Benjamin Bromley who lived in Mineola prior to the outbreak of World War II. My great uncle lived at 180 Ferncroft Road with his wife and was the manager of the Long Island estate of the [then] secretary of war, Henry Stimson, while his wife worked in the office of the general in charge of Mitchel Air Force Base.

“Originally my great uncle was from Plattsburgh, New York where his family still resides today.

“When the war broke out, he joined the U.S. Army Air Corps as an aerial engineer aboard a B-24 Liberator.

“The unit he served in was the 19th Anti-Submarine Squadron.

“On July 20th, 1943, his plane was lost in combat over the Bay Of Biscay after engaging a German U-boat.

“His wife, my great aunt, became a widow but held out hope, hope shared by my great grandparents that he might return.

“He has been missing in action for 79 years, and it will be 80 years this July.

“I am trying to generate interest in his story of service to our country and to renew efforts to locate the wreckage of the plane given advances in undersea mapping.

“Please help bring attention to this forgotten American hero who’s final resting place upon the Earth needs to be found.

As a reporter of all things Long Island and more specifically of our hometowns here in Nassau County, I recognized that this is a story that needed to be heard. As a military veteran, I connected immediately with this plea for help.

I had a chance to speak with Woodward exclusively about his quest to bring his great uncle home. Over the course of many years, he has been successful in gathering many analysis reports and correspondence with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), the government’s office where records of those who are missing in

action and those who are prisoners of war are maintained.

Through my own research following my interview with Woodward, I found several newspaper articles in The New York Times and The Brooklyn Eagle of the initial reports in the days following Bromley’s disappearance along with his crew and the historical account of Bromley’s wife sharing with the newspapers in her days of confusion and despair that she remained hopeful in his, not recovery, but in his rescue.

Woodward’s mission to bring his great uncle home is admirable.

Despite the emotional turmoil, families often find strength in one another and their soldier’s memory. They advocate for answers, searching for closure and

the truth, not just for themselves but for their missing loved one. The heartbreak is transformed into a determination to honor their soldier’s sacrifice and ensure that their memory is preserved.

In these moments of heartbreak, families of missing soldiers demonstrate incredible resilience, strength and unity. Their ability to persevere through such unimaginable pain is a testament to the depth of human emotions and the unwavering love they hold for those who serve.

You can read more about my exclusive interview with Woodward and about Bromley and his entire crew, all who remain unaccounted for on Anton Media Group’s news website Long Island Weekly (www.longislandweekly.com).

A Step In The Right Direction For Free School Lunch

BY JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonnews.com

On July 26 at Clear Stream Avenue School, an elementary school of Valley Stream District 30, a message was made clear by state and school officials, community food advocates and other members of the community: student hunger needs to be eradicated in New York.

“Despite the abundance of resources on our planet, more than 34 million people in the United States are experiencing food insecurity,” said Dr. Roxanne Garcia-France, the superintendent of Valley Stream District 30. “Unfortunately, this is a risk that some American families have become accustomed to living in. In Valley Stream District 30, approximately half of the students receive free and reduced meals. This pressing reality of food insecurity has necessitated the board of education, our administrators, our teachers and staff, students and families and our local community, which are here today, to step up our advocacy efforts for policy changes at both the local and state levels.”

The press conference, held with Assemblymember Jessica González-Rojas, Assemblymember Michaelle Solages, New

York State United Teachers (NYSUT), Island Harvest, community food advocates, PTAs, and other local residents, encouraged school districts to opt into the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). The CEP guarantees that all meals are provided free of charge, regardless

of a student’s family income level. Aug. 31 is the deadline to opt into the program. González-Rojas, with the support of Senator Michelle Hinchey and the Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Caucus, chaired by Solages, sponsored a bill calling for

universal school breakfast and lunch, which would require that all public school districts, charter schools and non-public schools in the state serve breakfast and lunch at no cost to the students.

“We were able to galvanize tons of support,” González-Rojas said. “It was a bipartisan bill. This was a very unifying bill and we were able to get the language into the budget and dedicate [approximately] $134.5 million towards this program. It’s not full universal. That’s our goal.”

During the pandemic, Solages explained, universal breakfast and lunch were provided to students.

“Many parents said that was a big help,” Solages said. “This bill, this budget item, is really attacking the affordability crisis, especially here on Long Island where it’s so expensive to live and every little bit helps. Even if a parent is deemed middle class, the middle class is shrinking. This is really uplifting children and providing them not only with the tools needed for educational learning, but also helping families survive in New York.”

Dorm Room Prep

BY RISA WALTOS specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Going off to college is an exciting time and preparing for dorm life can be overwhelming. The key to making an easier transition is to be organized. From creating a shopping checklist to building the perfect bed and everything in between, here are some essentials for getting the dorm room ready.

Getting Started

Create a checklist (most schools provide a suggested supply list) and as items arrive, assemble them in a designated college bound area so you can access and assess inventory easily. Whether you are heading off to school by car or plane, one of the first items to purchase is a soft duffel, which makes packing a breeze.

To complement dorm furniture provided, adding extra storage and items that are multi-functional is important. Students/parents should look for items that are durable, easy to assemble and cost effective. After product research, testing and experience with my own college student, here are expert recommended and student approved essentials.

Store More Under The Bed

Under the bed storage pieces are one of my top picks. These pieces can house everything from clothing to extra bedding and towels. Depending on how high you raise the bed, you can stack them.

Smart Packing Tip

These can be packed beforehand and put right into place upon arrival.

I’m a big fan of products that do double duty such as a three-drawer cart on wheels. It’s the perfect height to double as a nightstand, creates additional storage and even comes with a charging station.

Make It Cozy But With A Vibe

What’s your dorm personality? Try creating a mood board to visualize your dorm vibe. Build your bed with soft fabrics in your favorite colors and remember to add lots of accent pillows and a cozy throw for those chillier nights.

If you’re unsure of how everything will look, try dressing up a spare bed at home to better visualize. An ottoman storage cube is another versatile piece to add as it can be the stool to get up to a raised bed, an extra seat plus even more storage. I also recommend personalizing your dorm decor. Add colorful art, a poster of your favorite sports team or memory-wall filled with pictures of your family and besties.

Study Time

Having a neat and well thought out workspace will keep you more focused during long study hours. Consider purchasing an over the desk bookshelf

Photos supplied by Jane’s Addiction Organization. (should your school not provide) and organizers for your supplies to be placed inside drawers and on desktop are an organizational must.

Here’s to a wonderful school year.

liaison for Island Harvest, can speak to the increase of food insecurity since the pandemic. Island Harvest distributed more than 16 million pounds of food last year, slightly less than the food distributed during the pandemic, but more than the food distributed before the pandemic.

“The new normal, unfortunately, is more need for food on Long Island,” May said. “These kinds of investments [universal school lunch] is what we need to ease the strain on our food banks and to feed our kids.”

According to Healthy School Meals For All, a policy proposal endorsed by a diverse coalition of organizations and associations, free school meals save families an estimated $140 per child in grocery spending each month.

Saving on a grocery bill is important, especially as prices continue to rise.

Currently, students can receive free or discounted lunch if their household income meets a certain criteria. However, the goal of universal lunch is to remove the stigma of feeling singled out on the lunch line, as well as provide lunch to all students, including those who may come from immigrant families who are hesitant to fill out the paper work, attend wealthy districts as part of the working class or who may even come from a home that is neglectful.

According to the New York State Department of Temporary and Disability Assistance, a family of four must make, approximately, under $55,500 to qualify

for free or reduced lunch. According to an ALICE 2023 report released by United Way of New York State, however, the average household survival budget for a family of four in Nassau and Suffolk counties is $78,300.

“It does not account for all the financial realities faced such as debt, medical bills, expensive housing costs in urban and suburban districts, language barriers and discomfort when sharing personal details,” Garcia-France said of the current free and reduced lunch program. “These challenges in the paid school meal system impede students access to food and it impacts the school’s budget.”

Healthy School Meals For All states that access to these meals advance child health, educational and racial equality.

“Across all income levels kids receive their healthiest meals at school; children receiving school lunches consume more milk, fruit, vegetables, and fiber than their peers,” the Healthy School Meals For All website stated. “Healthy school meals for all supports learning, boosts test scores, and improves attendance and classroom behavior. Establishing statewide free meals can reduce longstanding and widening racial disparities in nutrition, health, education

and achievement.”

James Daye, a NYSUT political action committee coordinator for Senate District 8 and fourth grade teacher, said he knows all too well the impact nutrition has on educating a student. He believes eliminating the stigma that comes with receiving free or reduced lunch will be the most effective way to make sure each student is well nourished.

“As a kid in the ’70s, I was one of those kids that had a card for free or reduced lunch, because my father, who was a construction worker, was out of work for four years, with six kids,” said Bob Vecchio, the executive director of the Nassau-Suffolk School Board Association.

“School meals were a big deal in our household, but I’ll tell you what, if I forgot that card, if I lost that card, you were embarrassed to say ‘hey I’m on the program.’ The stigma is real. It’s been real forever. Take the stigma away and give free meals to every student, regardless of zip code, regardless of income, regardless of household. It does make a difference. It makes learning better. I believe it’s part of a sound basic education, which is the constitutional right of every child in New York State.”

Vecchio added that when he was president of the William Floyd Union Free School

District Board of Education, 65 percent of students received free or reduced meals.

“That number should have been 70, because we had a hard time getting applications filled out by those that were eligible,” Vecchio said. “We are a CEP program out of William Floyd and it made a world of difference. Participation, the number of meals delivered within our schools, has gone up dramatically. It gives us greater options for the meal offerings as well because you’re driving cost down with higher volume.”

Before the district became a CEP school, Vecchio said, Fridays were the worst days.

“Kids were getting anxious,” Vecchio said. “Because they knew they weren’t going to eat over the weekend. Maybe they wouldn’t have heat in their homes. They came in Monday hungry. Some kids would have two or three breakfasts. My wife is a teacher’s aide in a kindergarten class. My grocery bill goes up exponentially because she’s bringing extra food in the classroom for those kids. That shouldn’t be. Not in this state. Not in this country.”

While the current call is for eligible districts to enroll in the CEP program, the fight does not stop there to make sure all students are well fed when attending school.

“We start our new session in January, the budget is due April 1,” González-Rojas said. “Pretty much right away in January we’ll be starting discussions around budget priorities...and we certainly will make this continue to be one of the budget priorities.”

Tips for planning and navigating your college admissions prep work

BY CHRISTY HINKO chinko@antonmediagroup.com

Preparing for the college admissions process is a pivotal journey that demands careful planning and dedication. Students should start early by exploring potential colleges, assessing their academic strengths and aligning their interests with suitable majors.

We spoke with Dr. Robert A. Browne, owner of RAB College Admissions Consulting in Port Washington, who shared some of his top advice for planning a higher education journey.

“One of the things I focus on particularly are the clubs that a student chooses to participate in and which one could set them apart in college admissions,” Browne said. “Pick out the things you might be interested in so you can start the school year off with a game plan.”

Browne, a dentist by trade for more than 30 years, has has a long tie to the college admissions process through his work with the alumni interview process for University of Pennsylvania, on the admissions committee for Northwell Health’s general practice dental residency and with the office of admissions at Virginia Commonwealth University. He also holds a college admissions counseling certificate from the University of California Riverside.

“For high school students, when they have free time, I think it’s a great idea for them to journal and read memoirs,” Browne said. “It helps them understand themselves a little bit better and will help in the writing process when they eventually do their personal statement for college applications.”

He added, “I think it’s great when students realize that they not only have to be good students but they have to be really engaged students when they are thinking about letters of recommendation.”

He said it is advisable to focus on the core subjects (math, English, social studies, world language) when considering soliciting recommendations letters.

“Think about which teacher you would like to have a recommendation from,” Browne said. “Start to build that relationship, not just being a good student, but an engaged classmate.”

Extracurriculars

“Be as involved as possible in extracurricular activities and give it your all,” Browne said. “Even if someone is not an official leader they can certainly be in charge and lead.”

When it comes to extracurriculars and clubs, not all are created equally.

“Back when we were kids, if you took a hard schedule and you did well on an SAT test, maybe joined a few clubs, you could

feel very confident that you would get into one of the more selective schools in the country,” Browne shared. “Now, it’s a little more involved. The key now is the idea of being intentional and flexible. Going in with a game plan, similar to a business person, a physician, an athlete, having a game plan is the key. Being flexible in case your interests change or the results are not

to help them along the way.”

When parents take control, it adds to the pressure.

“Kids will do well in life; their future is based on them, not the name of the school on the diploma,” Browne said. “Support them. Give them guidance. Encourage them. It’s their process. You can encourage them and lead them, but ultimately it’s their decision.”

Do not control the situation.

Clubs: All Are Not Equal

“From the college standpoint, the most important clubs and organizations are the ones that are directed toward your academic and career interests,” Browne said. “Then, after that comes the community and diversity involvement. Knowing who they are helps pinpoint some of the more beneficial community and diversity opportunities (religion, ethnicity, culture, socio-economic, health-related, gender identity, etc.).”

He said that it is important for a student to figure out what their “community” is; learn as much about the group that they identify with and then put the things they have learned into practice.

“The third group of things to be involved in are more the things you do for fun, the things you do to be with your friends or the things you do to clear your head a little bit, like sports, arts, regular volunteer activities at school,” Browne said. “If you are a recruited athlete or a theatre/music major, those activities would move up to the most important things to be involved in because these things are your career interests, but for people who are not being recruited into a career, the activities and clubs are in the third level of importance for college admissions.”

Prioritizing extracurricular activities, volunteering and leadership roles can enhance their profiles.

Browne has been a direct counselor for three years, especially working with students going through their dental residency.

“I am a parent; I see the stress that these kids are under,” Browne said. “As schools become more highly selective, I want to help parents and students take away the stress and help them control the process. If you don’t control the process, it will control you. When that happens it increases stress and can increase the chances of a lot of money unnecessarily being spent on education.”

Be Supportive

“My advice to parents during this time is to be supportive,” Browne said. “It is the student’s journey ultimately and our job is

what you were hoping for, just make sure you can pivot; giving yourself the freedom to make that change is certainly critical to understand.”

Harry Chapin Food Bank Sponsors Kids’ Food Insecurity Program

Sixty-five thousand Long Island children experience food insecurity. Therefore, one of Long Island Cares’ primary responsibilities is to ensure that they receive a basic human right: nutritious food.

To combat childhood hunger, the Harry Chapin Regional Food Bank of Long Island Cares, Inc. sponsors children-focused programs at Long Island schools; before-and aftercare programs; daycare centers; and private homes.

Among them is Aspara-Gus’ Mobile Breakfast Food Truck, which provides nutritious grab-and-go breakfasts to children in need when school is not in session. The program—supported by allied partners and providers—serves children primarily on weekends.

The organization’s Kids Cafe program provides meals and snacks to kids attending after-school programs. Pack It Up for Kids provides emergency weekend bags containing nutritious meals and snacks. Backpacks are distributed bi-weekly to 25 school districts that have identified children who need food to take home for the weekend.

The Summer Food Service Program operates for eight weeks during the summer, where the food bank works with allied programs and provides on-site

meals (breakfast and lunch) to needy children. Lastly, the Mobile School Pantry supports monthly food distributions in the Brentwood and Riverhead Central School

Districts. Distributions are open to families with children.

In 2022, these programs provided 248,419 meals. There is a correlation between learning and poor nutrition, and without proper nourishment, children have a harder time focusing and learning. It is imperative they have the support they need for the best future possible. And so, as children return to school with new duds, new school supplies, and eager to learn and make new friends, please consider the families with children who need a bit more help.

Long Island Cares is committed to serving communities and ensuring that the futures of Long Island’s children are as fulfilling as possible. Visit licares.org for more information.

Long Islanders have learned that readiness is key. From Montauk to Queens, the importance of having a well-thoughtout hurricane plan cannot be overstated. This plan involves several essential steps.

Staying informed is crucial. Monitoring weather forecasts, official advisories and local news updates keeps residents ahead of the curve, allowing them to make informed decisions.

Stocking up on emergency supplies is the next step. Non-perishable food, bottled water, medications, flashlights, batteries and a battery-powered weather radio are essential items. As the storm approaches, securing outdoor items, like patio furniture and loose debris, helps prevent them from becoming dangerous projectiles.

For those residing in floodprone areas, understanding evacuation routes and shelters is vital. Long Island’s intricate roadways require careful navigation, especially when evacuation becomes necessary. Having a family communication plan ensures that loved ones can

Long Island’s unique geography, with both north and south shores, adds complexity to hurricane preparation. The southern coast is more susceptible to storm surges, while the northern coast experiences strong winds and potential flooding from heavy rainfall. This duality necessitates adaptable plans that consider specific risks based on location.

Long Island has witnessed the power of hurricanes like Sandy, a stark reminder of the need for preparation.

Homeowners are encouraged to fortify structures against high winds and flooding and municipalities continually refine their disaster response strategies.

Hurricane preparation on Long Island is a collaborative effort. Individuals, families, communities and local authorities must work toward ensuring the safety of all residents. While the beauty of Long Island’s shores draws people in, the knowledge that storms can arise underscores the importance of being ready for whatever Mother Nature may bring.

Fire Island Jane Doe Identified

JAMES ROONEY

editors@antonmediagroup.com

The human remains previously known as “Fire Island Jane Doe” and “Jane Doe Seven” have been identified as Karen Vergata, a 34-yearold escort who went missing sometime around Valentine’s Day of 1996. There was no missing persons report filed at the time. This break in the Gilgo beach murder case was the result of a genealogical analysis of her remains, the review giving a “presumptive match” for Vergata to Fire Island Jane Doe, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney. Vergata’s then unidentified remains were found first in 1996, consisting of what are now known to be the legs of Vergata on Fire Island, with her skull being found 15 years later at Tobay Beach in Nassau County, several miles and a county away. “I think it’s important that we remember and honor not only Ms. Vergata, but all the victims on Gilgo Beach.” said Raymond Tierney at a press conference before stating there would be no public comment on the Gilgo Beach case. The killing of Vergata has not been linked to the prime suspect Rex Heuermann.

Latest Against Rex Heuermann Newsday reported on Aug. 8 that the lawyer representing Heuermann has opposed the prosecution’s request to take a DNA swab, arguing in court papers that the prosecutors have failed to demonstrate probable cause that he killed three women.

“The assertions contained the people’s moving papers might be construed as rising to the level of a reasonable suspicion, but that is a far cry from the standard of probable cause required to justify granting the order sought by the people,” wrote Danielle Coysh, an attorney for Heuermann.

The Assistant Suffolk County District Attorney Michelle Haddad requested that State Supreme Court Justice Timothy Mazzei ordered Heuermann to submit a

cheek swab test to see if he matches DNA obtained from a discarded napkin and pizza crust.

“Should the defendant’s DNA from the [cheek swab] not match the DNA profile from the pizza crusts and napkin submitted for Rex Heuermann … the defense would be presented with a potential trial defense,” Haddad wrote. “Thus, there is a clear indication that material and relevant evidence will be found and is crucial for trial.”

But, Coysh argued that the prosecution has failed to establish that Heuermann touched the pizza crust and napkin. On Aug. 9, a Suffolk judge ruled that he must submit the fcheek swab to prosecutors, Newsday reported.

During Heuermann’s first court appearance in Riverhead on Aug. 1, it was revealed that thousands of pages and documents were turned over to Heuermann’s defense team, including crime scene photos, autopsy reports, DNA evidence and video surveillance.

He is due back in court on Sept. 27.

Since the arrest of Heuermann, it’s been speculated that the case may be tied to other cases out of state. However, a New Jersey prosecutor told the Associated Press on Aug. 1 that the case does not appear to be related to the unsolved killings of four sex workers near Atlantic City in 2006.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Notice how you have so much of what you once dearly desired! Now you want di erent things, but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate this moment and acknowledge the capable person who got you to this place. You had help, sure, but you were the one smart and humble enough to accept it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your overarching aim for the week is simple, and yet massive in scope. You want a good experience for as many as possible. Don’t be too quick to decide what people need. It may not be right to ask them directly, but your keen powers of observation will teach you well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You cannot control how quickly you learn, change or build yourself, but you do have control over the behavior that will lead to your development. Focus on creating a better routine. Systems and schedules are the practical logistics that later make it seem that something magical has occurred.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your powers of imagination, combined with great emotional range, will let you project yourself into a di erent kind of life. You’ll relate to people who are very di erent from you. Knowing your supertalent for empathy can either bring you up or down, you’ll be careful what and whom you align with and aim strictly for an elevated experience.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). New habits form quite by accident. Whether or not you mean to repeat an action, each recurrence strengthens the neural pathways in your brain, making the next round easier. It works the same for good and bad habits alike. So before you get too far into a behavior, consider what life will be like when this is a regular thing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don’t let responsibility scare you. You’re more quali ed and capable than you know. You’re imagining those who went before you were gifted, but if you only knew how untrue this was, you would be far more con dent. No one is expecting you to have answers. For now, just being available and open to learning is enough.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). ere’s a great bene t to being able to hold the attention of others. You apply what you know about fun and entertainment to persuade people to your cause and add to your team. What’s new is fascinating, but each exposure to a thing makes it a little less interesting. is is why you change up the energy -- a twist keeps it fresh.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Limitations are like the rails that keep your engine headed to the destination. Staying on track is easy when the rules are enforced and the systems are maintained. is week, there will be plenty of rules that seem unnecessary, but if you follow the program, you’ll get where you intend to go.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). ere is nothing sel sh about learning yourself well. Take the time to gure out what you like and want and you’ll actually be doing everyone else a favor. You’ll be better able to provide things like opportunities, boundaries and meaningful contributions as you get in touch with your delights.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s so easy to honor those around you with your words and actions because your heart holds deep respect and admiration. When you don’t feel this way about someone, it’s possible that you just don’t know enough about them yet. You’ll become lighter and brighter by either learning more or focusing elsewhere.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’d like to know that you made a di erence in the experience of others. But something about asking for feedback diminishes the e ect. It’s much cooler to do what you do with con dence and then walk away, leaving the others to make up their own minds. It’s a move of trust. It’s a way of honoring the intelligence and soulfulness of others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s harder to x things from the place where they got broken. It takes a brave and adventurous person to set out seeking help from faraway realms, and an even bolder person to start anew. e latter approach will be the most expedient route to your goal and the luckiest for your social life, too.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

A surge of inner determination comes on with your solar return. You’ll rush forward feeling free and light, then lift o . On the relationship front, a true supporter emerges and your life becomes entwined with another to a greater degree. You’ll have the means to cater to your exceptional taste and give yourself the things you want. More highlights: A shift at work gives you new aims to aspire to, and you’ll pick up skills to serve the position. Novel entertainment plus easygoing companionship equals inspired fun.

The slam-double convention

chance of defeating an enemy slam. One of the most important of these understandings is that when a defender not on lead doubles a slam voluntarily reached by the opposition, he is asking partner to lead, or sometimes not to lead, a specific suit.

The advantage of this convention can be seen in the accompanying deal. South makes the slam if West leads a heart, the suit East has bid. But East’s double forbids the normal heart lead and calls instead for an unusual lead.

When a small slam is bid, the difference between making it and losing it ranges roughly from 1,000 to 1,500 points, depending mostly on vulnerability. Slams are therefore deemed worthy of the closest possible attention by both sides.

Consistent with the importance of slam hands, several special defensive weapons have been developed through the years to increase the

In this case, it is not difficult for West, holding six cards in the suit North opened, to deduce that East’s reason for forbidding a heart lead is that he can ruff a club. So West leads a club, and East ruffs and cashes a heart to put the contract down one — 200 points. With a heart lead, South would score 1,660 points at Chicago or duplicate scoring.

It must be granted that on some occasions, declarer might make the doubled slam despite the opening lead (if North or South were void in hearts in the actual deal, for example). But this occasional small loss is a very cheap price to pay for bringing about the defeat of some slams that would otherwise succeed.

Local Profile: Angela Tomei Robinson

Mineola resident talks up medical lab science and semi-retirement

foundation (and, in many cases, free tuition) to go further in her certification later on?

JANET BURNS

jburns@antonmediagroup.com

As hospitals and health systems around the country work to recover from changes and losses brought by COVID-19, one local resident is spending her “semi-retirement” advocating for a field of medical science that she’s dedicated her career to (and then some, depending how you measure a working life).

Angela Tomei Robinson, MS, MLS, ASCP, a resident of Mineola since 1986, started her career in medical laboratory science over four decades ago, first earning a BS in Medical Laboratory Science and later an MS in Laboratory Management and Education degrees from St. John’s University.

In high school, she was interested in science, and particularly pathology, when her guidance counselor gave her advice she’ll never forget: rather than go into pathology with the direct goal of being a doctor, she said, why not pursue a degree in medical laboratory science that could provide a good job in the medical field right away as well as a

Robinson took that advice, and over the course of her pre-retirement career she advanced from drawing patients’ blood to supervising sample processing to being pathology manager then associate administrator, as well as education coordinator and laboratory information services manager, at then-Winthrop University Hospital’s Department of Pathology. She always served as a clinical advisor and an adjunct instructor for multiple post-secondary learning institutions in our area, including her alma mater.

“I wish more high school guidance counselors knew about medical laboratory science,” Robinson said. “We need to talk about the medical lab science career at high schools and colleges, and how when you graduate with a degree in medical laboratory science, there’s a career waiting for you.”

“Medical laboratory is behind the scenes. Everybody knows that healthcare is experiencing severe shortages of frontline doctors, frontline nurses. They don’t know about the behind-the-scenes medical laboratory professionals, and that’s where 13 billion tests are performed [annually] across the country” (making lab tests the highest-volume form of health services, according to JAMA Network).

“We have great shortages, [in part] because most people are not aware of the field,” Robinson said. In addition, “COVID exasperated a lot of the healthcare workers overall. There was a lot of burnout, a lot of stress, and then the great resignation tsunami hit.”

“I’ve been doing a lot since when I was in the field, as well as since I took my semi-retirement, to basically attract, recruit, and retain qualified medical lab professionals that get board certified nationally. And in New York State, we’re very fortunate to be licensed, like doctors and nurses.”

“I’m also trying to convince my colleagues that there’s life after retirement.”

“The baby boomers always kind of lived to work, and in today’s society it’s more of, ‘I’m only working to have a life.’ And it’s got to be a happy medium.”

To wit, Robinson has stayed nearly as active in her semi-retirement as she was during her official career, so to speak; she’s teaching again, doing all kinds of speaking engagements in person and online, and generally working to promote the field of medical laboratory science.

She’s also teaching again as an adjunct at St. John’s. “I always tell people, and tell my students, that by networking, and staying active, people find you.”

“It’s not who you know, or what you know; it’s who knows what you know.”

It seems the word is out on Robinson’s area of expertise, too, retirement be darned, as it were.

“My students came to me and said, ‘You’ve got to get involved socially.’”

Since then, Robinson has been writing articles, giving talks at conferences or graduations, and even presenting online through Zoom and other platforms.

“It’s all been new to me, and it’s been fascinating.”

Garden City Police Warn Of Jewelry Scam

The Garden City Police Department provides the following notice on a recent theft scheme:

On August 2, 2023, a male subject in a tan van drove up to an elderly woman on Jackson Street and began talking with her. The subject then gave her some jewelry and drove away, after which she realized her wedding ring and engagement ring were missing. The suspect is described as a male, white, 60 years old, wearing a light-color

shirt and baseball hat. The investigation is ongoing.

During the past week, there have been reports of scammers hawking fake jewelry and using sleight of hand to steal the victim’s authentic gold jewelry. These incidents have occurred in our area as well as across the nation. Police Commissioner Jackson states:

• Suspects tend to target elderly victims.

• Suspects approach victims to initiate

conversation, sometimes asking for directions.

• Suspects provide costume jewelry to the victims as a gift or a form of gratitude.

• As the fake jewelry is placed on the victims, the suspects remove the victim’s authentic gold jewelry without the victim realizing it.

Commissioner Jackson states that if these individuals approach anyone, take note of any physical characteristics and

descriptions before reporting the encounter to 911 as soon as it is safe to do so. Victims of the scam who haven’t reported the incident are also encouraged to contact the Garden City Police Department at 516-465-4108.

“Please do not try to confront these individuals on your own,” Jackson said. “Be a good witness and report it to the local authorities.”

Larceny In Carle Place Leads To Arrest ‘Text To 911’ To Launch In Nassau County

The Nassau County Police Department Major Case Bureau reports the details of a grand larceny that occurred on Tuesday, August 23, 2022, in Carle Place, which led to a recent arrest:

According to detectives, a 72-year-old male, while working as an employee of a Carle Place law firm, received an email from who he believed to be his employer and owner of the law firm. The email directed the employee to wire $95,000 from the law firm’s HSBC bank account. After the transaction the employee spoke to his employer who informed him that he did not make this request. This fraud is commonly

known as a business email compromise scam or (BEC).

After a thorough investigation an arrest warrant was issued for defendant Dana Sarantakis, 41, of Lowell, Massachusetts.

On August 2, 2023, the defendant turned himself into police at the Nassau County Police Department’s Eighth Precinct in Bethpage.

Defendant Sarantakis is charged with grand larceny in the second degree. He was to be arraigned on Thursday, August 3, 2023, at First District Court, 99 Main Street, Hempstead.

On Monday, Aug. 7, 2023, the Rules Committee of the Nassau County Legislature voted unanimously to approve a $106,417 purchase order with the Intergraph Corporation for a custom interface text-to-911 interface. The move follows Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton’s July 31 filing of legislation which would mandate the implementation of textto-911 in Nassau County.

Currently, the only way for Nassau residents to reach 911 is by a phone call. Under Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton’s proposal, Nassau County would develop and implement around-the-clock text-to-911 capabilities for the first time – a feature that could be utilized by people who are Deaf or hard of hearing; have limited English proficiency; or need to reach authorities discreetly, such as in an active shooter, hostage, or domestic violence crisis. Anyone who misuses text to 911 would be subject to the same penalties as those who misuse 911 by phone.

Implementation of the program would be overseen by the Commissioner of the Nassau County Police Department and the Nassau County Fire Marshal, with

feedback and guidance from disability rights advocates including but not limited to the Nassau County Disability Advisory Council.

Text to 911 is already live in numerous New York State counties, including Suffolk, Ulster, Niagara, and Putnam Counties. Separately, Nassau County must implement a program by Sept. 15, 2023 under the terms of a May 2023 settlement in a case alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

“It is essential for our emergency response capabilities to keep up with the latest technology so that our courageous first responders can protect public safety to the best of their abilities,” Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton said. “Not only will implementing text to 911 accomplish that goal, it gives Nassau County residents a powerful and discreet, and accessible tool for alerting police officers to a crisis. I am sure that launching a text to 911 program will save lives, provide language access capabilities, and give us all a little extra peace of mind in a tumultuous world.”

The Pickleball Takeover

A look at the game sweeping our region

DANIEL GREILSHEIMER

editors@antonmediagroup.com

With more than 36 million players nationwide, pickleball has raced across the U.S., quickly becoming its fastest growing sport. In Great Neck, there are several locations to play, including the Jewish Community Center (JCC) of Great Neck and Allenwood Park.

The game, which is a combination of badminton, tennis and ping pong, is uniquely accessible for people of all ages and skill levels. The small dimensions of a pickleball court — one-fourth the size of a tennis court — are appealing to older crowds.

The rules are fairly simple, making the game easy to learn for beginners and very exciting at high levels. On each side of the court, there is a non-volley zone — known as the kitchen — which is closest to the net. The remaining parts of the court are divided vertically into a left and right service area — known as the odd and even courts.

To start each point, the ball is served diagonally into the opponent’s service court. The serve must be underhand. Here, the first major rule comes into play: the double bounce rule — following a serve, each side must hit one groundstroke before volleying the ball. As the point plays out, the other notable rule becomes important: balls cannot be volleyed — hit out of the air without bouncing on the ground — when the player is standing in the non-volley zone.

Points can only be won by the serving player or team and are earned when the opposing side fails to return a ball or hits it out of play. After each point won on serve, the server switches between the odd and even courts. Pickleball matches are played to 11, win by two, creating a fast-paced, energetic environment.

Despite the smaller court size and relatively simple rules, injuries are still common, especially among older crowds.

“Pickleball is an easy game to pick up, and people just take it for granted. People just get out of the car and they start playing and if you’re not in good shape and you’re running around on the court, it’s very easy to strain a muscle,” said Roger Gerland, the Senior Director of Rehabilitation Services at Northwell Health STARS across their outpatient network and the team physical therapist at Hofstra University.

Gerland has seen injuries ranging from calf and hamstring pulls to wrist and hip fractures as a result of the sport. In fact, pickleball injuries are expected to cost Americans between $250 million and $500 million this year.

“One of the things that we do as a health system is identify needs in the community.

One of the needs that we have just recently seen over the last couple years is an influx of pickleball injuries, not just in our physical therapy offices, but in our emergency rooms, as well as our physician offices,” said Gerland. “And as a result of this initiative, we felt the need to increase awareness of pickleball injury prevention, proper warmup, proper training and conditioning.”

A full-body, active warm-up is important.

To begin, Gerland recommends jogging around the court several times. Next, partaking in a series of active stretches, such as squats, leg swings, walking lunges with rotations and overhead arm movements, which may help to reduce injury.

Nonetheless, pickleball offers certain advantages over other racket sports.

“From a physical standpoint, I think it’s less physically challenging on your joints if we’re comparing it to racquetball… And if I’m comparing it to tennis, I think it’s less demanding on the shoulder than tennis is,” said Gerland.

As pickleball continues to explode, and shows no signs of stopping, remember to stretch before playing and to have fun.
