Local Businesses Improve Outdoor Facilities

tion program to make customers’ experience more enjoyable.

Local businesses in Syosset and Woodbury received grants to improve their outdoor facilities through the PSEG Outdoor Commerce and Beautification program.

Starting in the summer of 2020 to help business through the pandemic, PSEG implemented the Outdoor Commerce program, then added the Beautification Program.

Businesses are able to be reimbursed for improvements to their outdoor facilities by PSEG.

Each chamber of commerce could receive up to $10,000 dollars, which will be passed along to their respective businesses.

Linda Herman, an economic development specialist at PSEG, said, “We give them grant money to purchase things such as tables, lights, receptacles, heaters. Those grants became so popular that last year we created a beautification grant, which will allow them to do things such as welcome signage, planters and flowers for their downtown areas.”

In this program, chambers of commerce assess their businesses’ needs and apply for grants. The Syosset-Woodbury Chamber of Commerce, which has about 200 members, has been applying for the grants on behalf of companies. Before securing the funding, PSEG needs to approve the Chamber of Commerce’s application stating how the money will be used to improve outdoor facilities.

The president of the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce, Russell Green, said, “We are able to reach out to lots of local businesses. We reach out to restaurants to assist them with their outdoor dining needs. So we’re able to get them outdoor furniture, a lot of them get heat lamps.”

The response from business has been very appreciative. Business owners and employees have shown their gratitude in short Facebook Videos.

In a video outside of his Italian Restaurant, the owner of Flora’s Pizza Cafe in Syosset, Ervis, said, “I just wanted to thank the Chamber of Commerce and PSEG for the heaters.”

Similarly, employees of Central Island Healthcare in Planview were more than happy with what they received. They said, “We want to thank the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce along with PSEG for their efforts in sending us these beautiful rolling carts. These three carts will make the lives of our residents on the outdoor patio an absolute blessing.”

The rolling carts will be used to help patients of Central Island Healthcare.

All involved with the program - from businesses to the chamber of commerce to PSEG - view it as a massive success. According to PSEG, they have distributed over $300,000 dollars in grants over the past three years. Though it originally was a pandemic related program, the plan from PSEG is continuing because local, small businesses are truly benefiting from it.

“The local business districts, chambers, they’ve come to us every year and asked: Are you going to have the grant again? We’re thinking of doing this project,” Herman said. “It helps them be able to do a project that maybe they wouldn’t have been able to afford, or it allows them to do more than what they would have thought they could do otherwise.”

From the chamber’s perspective, too, the Outdoor Commerce and Beautification Program is a great help. Restaurants, the main beneficiary of the program, understand the importance of this program given the high demands of the industry. “I can speak for the business. I know they are very happy,” Green said. “The restaurant business is tough. It’s very, very small margins. Anytime you can get assistance like this, it’s always a help. So I think they’re all very appreciative of it.”

It is worth mentioning that not all businesses were admitted into this program since a requirement is that the company needs to be in a commercial district. Even so, many businesses fulfilling this requirement still did not qualify. In fact, the Chamber did not use all the funds given to them by PSEG.

Because of this, the Chamber of Commerce plans to do a second round of outdoor improvements. Green said, “If there are some businesses or restaurants that did not participate in the first round, that want to participate in round two, we will apply for a round two that will probably be in the fall.”

Seth Butera of Butera’s Restaurant of Woodbury was able to get assistance for their outdoor dining needs from the program.

Felice Linder of Fusion Academy was thankful for the new outdoor heaters.

Central Island Healthcare’s Dorothea Schiller, the director of recreation, and David Golden, the administrator, expressed gratitude for the food carts that will make serving easier.

Let‛s Get Crafty: Acorn Jewels

One of the most common trees we have here on our Island are oak trees. They are very tall and have lobed leaves. All oak trees have rough bark. Did you know oak trees make a fruit? It’s not a fruit like an apple or a pear, or even an orange. The fruit of the oak tree is a nut called an acorn. Many animals eat acorns, like deer, squirrels and opossums. They only eat the nut part, leaving the caps behind. A fun craft that uses these woody stems is acorn jewels.

Supplies:

Acorn caps

Toothbrush (or some other gentle cleaning brush)

Use the toothbrush to gently clean the acorn caps. Next, color the inside of the caps with the markers. Be creative! You can use different colors in the same cap or one solid color. Once the caps are all colored, coat the inside

Washable markers

White school glue

Glitter (optional)

small paintbrush (optional)

with the white glue. You can squirt it directly inside and then turn the cap to spread it evenly, or use a small paintbrush. If you want to add glitter, sprinkle now. Then, leave to dry for 24 hours. When they are finished, the caps will be filled with a glossy layer of color.

Question:

According to the Alaska Wildlife Alliance, ermines, also known as the short-tailed weasel or stoat, are Alaska‛s cute, color-changing weasel. They weigh just under half a pound, and they may be one of the best pound-for-pound predators in Alaska, taking down rabbits twice their size. They are highly adaptable and can be found in nearly every corner of Alaska. In the summer their fur is a brownish red color, and in the winter they have pure white fur. Their nests are usually a former burrow of a small rodent and are typically lined with rodent hair. They also

settle down in a rock pile, hollow log, under brush piles or trees. For ermines further north, snow provides vital insulation against the extreme air temperatures. They are carnivores who mainly eat small mammals like voles and mice. They occasionally eat shrews and rabbits and other small vertebrates and insects. Sometimes they also eat fish in nearby rivers.

Challenges facing the ermine include being hunted for their pelts that are often used to trim coats and other clothing, getting caught in traps meant for other small species, losing their preferred homes to logging and increased competition with other animals for food. Did you know that they dig a special storage area in their dens for excess food?

Answer: Your name.

Every-body Cover Up: Ten Years Since Nude Beach Crackdown

Naturists will pay a high price to let it all out

One slightly obscure consequence of Superstorm Sandy is that Fire Island beaches that were once traditionally clothing optional were no longer open to nude recreation. Ten years ago this February, a decision was made to begin enforcing the 1984 state statute prohibiting the clothing optional status. This law states that a person is guilty of exposure if he appears in a public place in such a manner that the private or intimate parts of his body are unclothed or exposed. This section shall not apply to the breastfeeding of infants or to any person entertaining or performing in a play, exhibition, show or entertainment. It is important to note that since 1992 it has been legal in New York State for a woman to be topless anywhere a man can also be shirtless.

Up until 2013, the National Park Service, who oversees the beaches, tolerated the activity, going so far as allowing locals to put up signs warning people that they might encounter naturists in these designated areas. (Naturist is the term preferred by most people who enjoy nude recreation and advocate for its acceptance. “Nudist” is an outdated term and usually carries a negative connotation.)

According to Susan Rothberg, a member of the board of directors of the Naturist Action Committee (NAC), there is anecdotal evidence of nude recreation at Lighthouse Beach dating back at least to World War II, if not earlier. “There’s a story that the first lighthouse keeper’s daughter wrote that people went nude on Lighthouse Beach. I do know for a fact that a friend of mine, who has since passed away, sat on Lighthouse Beach during WWII and saw people sunbathing nude,” Rothberg said in an email.

For people who participate in naturist activities, there is a sense of community and acceptance that comes with being nude. It is more about experiencing nature fully than being seen naked. Rothberg said “to me, a social nude setting is about body acceptance. No one judges your looks. I found that men on a nude beach looked me in the eye…when we were speaking to each other, more so than in the textile

world. We were a family, went to weddings and funerals, and socialized off the beach.”

All of this came to a halt after Sandy. Part of the reason is because the storm flattened the dunes, making the naturist part of the beach visible from Lighthouse Road. Compounding that is the fact that Lighthouse Beach is located in one of the busiest parts of the park. Alexcy Romero, Superintendent of the Fire Island National Seashore, said that “Fifty percent of our visitors do come through Lighthouse Beach, and they come from the west, walking east. We receive close to 100,000 visitors at the lighthouse. So there have been complicated incidents between those who are for it and those who are against it. And so, you have families, you have school groups, you have a variety of different users coming through that area, and we noticed an increase in visitor conflict and concern.”

Additionally, there were people who took the clothing optional status as free rein to indulge in other recreational activities. Both Superintendent Romero and Rothberg acknowledged this as a problem.

“There was a lot of lewd and lascivious activity occurring there… a prostitution ring was suspected to be operating on the beach,” said Romero. Because of the small number of rangers available, he stated that they were spending a disproportionate amount of time dealing with behavior and conflicts on this part of the beach. “It was taking away from visitor safety in other areas of the park; our guys are patrolling up and down the 26 miles of shoreline.”

Rothberg also said there were people being lewd in the naturist portion of the beach, but pushed back against the idea that it was worse there than other sections. “It wasn’t a day at church; sadly some miscreants thought it was an appropriate location for open sex and weed. But it was really no worse than any other beach in the area.”

Romero cited heavy use and people using the dunes as additional reasons for the decision. “Because it is a remote location, we don’t have the public facilities that are needed. So we did see activities of human waste and an increase of garbage up there. Again, we don’t have the staffing

to manage that. It had been documented that that heavy recreational use did disturb the threatened Endangered Species Program that we closely monitor here at Fire Island National Seashore.” It is unclear if restricting the beach to clothed-only has impacted the level of use.

The dunes have begun to re-form, but the beaches remain closed to naturist activities. Romero said their approach with people using the beach unclothed is to educate them about the rules. “When we see nude people out there we will educate, we will advise accordingly. So we will approach and share that you know, this is not a clothing optional beach, please dress. it’s usually a warning followed up by what would then be a citation for lewd conduct, something along those lines.”

The consequences for this citation may result in a fine as high as $5,000 and six months in jail.

For those who would like to see the beaches return to clothing optional, the best course is to contact your state representatives.

Class Action Seeks Language-Access Compliance

JANET BURNS

jburns@antonmediagroup.com

In July, a group of Nassau County residents and advocates filed suit against the Nassau County Police Department (NCPD) to force the agency to comply with current laws by providing language-access accommodations.

Filed in the Eastern District of New York, the suit is being brought by affected community members in Nassau County, legal representatives from LatinoJustice PRLDEF, organizational plaintiff CARECEN.

In a press release, the plaintiffs stated that CARECEN et al. v. Nassau County seeks to compel NCPD to meet their civil rights obligations.

“to provide timely, meaningful and competent language assistance to limited English proficient community members.”

In the decade that has passed since Nassau County agreed it would comply with these requirements, little has in fact changed, according to plaintiffs.

services, Oberdick said, Miss A was unable to get assistance and was also unable to file a civilian complaint against the officers, which she tried to do multiple times, by going to her precinct.

The lawsuit also raises the case of Miss C, who called police on two separate occasions to seek emergency assistance with domestic violence, Oberdick said.

As a result of being denied language access services on those occasion, Oberdick said, “Her seven-year-old daughter was forced to translate, which can be incredibly traumatic, and also lead to inaccuracies in reporting [by police], which is exactly what happened to Miss C. The ultimate report she got was incorrect, and didn’t accurately document the injuries sustained ... and she wasn’t ultimately successful in getting a restraining order because of this.

Overall, Oberdick said, “We are seeking systemic reform.”

Officer:

we speak English in the United States...so.”

In an interview with Anton Media Group, attorney Meena Roldan Oberdick of LatinoJustice PRLDEF, who’s also part of the social services-spanning Long Island Language Advocates Coalition (LILAC), explained that the suit has been brought by one organizational plaintiff and two individual class representatives.

“The organizational plaintiff, CARECEN, is the largest immigration legal services provider on Long Island, and their staff frequently have to deal with the host of problems that arise from language access denial,” Oberdick said. “They are constantly having to problem-solve with clients.”

The two individual plaintiffs live in Nassau County and are identified in court documents as Miss A and Miss C. For the purposes of the suit, the two women are representatives “for all individuals who have been or will be denied language access assistance by the NCPD,” Oberdick said.

In 2022, Miss A attempted to seek assistance from the NCPD to get help with an illegal eviction, Oberdick explained. “The landlord had been unlawfully entering the apartment and changing the locks. When the NCPD arrived on the scene, [Miss A] was well aware she has the right to an interpreter, and she asked for one. The officer’s response, which she caught on film, was ‘This is the United States of America, we speak English in the United States.’”

As a result of being denied language access

“We are not seeking monetary damages, only injunctive relief,” she pointed out. “We are asking the court to issue an order requiring the NCPD to implement appropriate training on the provision of language access, and to develop adequate supervisory procedures.”

“Nassau County has a ‘paper policy,’ and they’re just not following it. There are no repercussions for officers who don’t follow it.”

“It’s been ten years, and the small improvements that have been made have not been enough to comply with the law.”

Meanwhile, Oberdick said, there’s also a greater need for record-keeping as to how the county’s ‘language line,’ which NCPD officers may call for translation assistance at any time, is being utilized, or not. “The only data they collect is that time that it was used.”

In response to the lawsuit, NCPD Commissioner Patrick Ryder released the following statement:

“The Nassau County Police Department continues to work with our Language Access Line to ensure that all individuals with limited English proficiency are able to communicate with the Police Department should the need arise. From January 1 to July 18, 2023, the department’s language access line successfully interacted with over 6,997 individuals for a total of over 41,439 minutes of duration.”

“The Police Department conducts audits on the program to ensure that we are compliant under federal standards and we have a department policy regarding guidelines and usage of Language Line ... To date, I have not been personally contacted by any members from LILAC with regard to the Language Access Line.”

3 STEPS TO HANDLE MARKET VOLATILITY AS YOU APPROACH RETIREMENT

No one likes to watch their investments lose money, but downward market volatility can feel particularly scary for people who plan to retire in the near future. Their anxiety is understandable. They’ve spent their careers building their nest eggs and now – at a time when they plan to give up their income-producing jobs – they face the prospect of living off less money than they had envisioned. Fortunately, it’s rarely as simple as that. As with all things nancial, it’s important to look at the big picture. If you’re nearing retirement and worried about market volatility, keep these factors in mind:

1. Concentrate on your financial goals. No one can say with certainty what will happen to stocks over the next week, month, year or decade. But what may be more certain is your nancial goals for those timeframes. Ensure your portfolio is designed to help you achieve your key priorities, rather than to hit a speci c market outcome. Remember that timing the markets is rarely successful because there are so many unknown factors in uencing how stocks move.

2. Keep your emotions in check. Market corrections, dips and swings are inevitable for investors in the short term, so it’s important to look beyond the daily hype and headlines. Instead, watch for broad, persistent trends that could provide opportunities or challenges for your

overall nancial situation. As you ponder adjustments to your portfolio, remember that while you can’t control the market, you can control your reaction to it.

3. Reassess your portfolio according to your retirement date and risk tolerance. Two items that are more in your control are your risk tolerance and retirement date. Keep in mind that each person has an individual comfort level with taking risks. You may nd that your ability to handle market swings varies over time, particularly if you’ve experienced volatility in the past. Big market moves or dips may be a good time to step back and evaluate your portfolio according to when you anticipate needing to generate income from your investments:

• If you have a decade or more before retirement, prioritize building your investments using a diversi ed asset mix. Investing regularly in the market could help volatility work to your bene t, as you have more time to ride out shortterm turbulence and overcome potential losses. As you re ne your retirement plans, calculate how much money you need to live the lifestyle you want, while also preparing for unexpected expenses such as healthcare. Knowing how much you need to retire can help you stay con dent in your nancial strategy amid market uncertainty.

• If you are within a few years of retirement, you likely are more sensitive to short-term market moves. At this

point, you may consider gradually adjusting your portfolio to reduce your level of risk. If you wait until retirement to adjust your investment mix, you could be surprised by untimely market volatility or a downturn. If this happens, it could leave you with less money in retirement compared to your plans, forcing you to modify your goals or lifestyle. If the market is experiencing a correction, you may want to wait for it to rebound (as it historically has) before making adjustments. Making changes immediately amid volatility could lock in possible losses.

• If you are already retired, be patient and maintain your diversi ed investment strategy. If the potential for a downturn or increased volatility makes you nervous, consider reallocating your portfolio accordingly. Keep in mind that even in retirement it may make sense to have part of your investment mix focused on growth. Today’s longlife expectancies mean that you need to be prepared for the likelihood that living costs, particularly healthcare, will be higher in the later decades of your retirement.

If you have concerns about the effect of market volatility on your investments, you are not alone. If you want additional support, consider consulting a nancial advisor who can review the details of your unique nancial situation. Together you can determine if your portfolio is on track to reach your goals.

I recently listened to a shorter than usual Douglas Tallamy talk “What’s the Hurry,” where he mentions that moths and their caterpillars are bird food, but it doesn’t help to attract them to your yard with native plants if then you use white night lights which draw them to their deaths. Yellow lights are not near as attractive and you will save a lot of moths by using them.

Here is how to help baby birds who fall out of their nests: Ask yourself several questions: Is the bird injured? If the answer is yes you can contact a local wildlife rehabilitator -Volunteers for Wildlife at (516) 674-0982, volunteersforwildlife.org. They will treat only native wildlife, so not house sparrows. Bobby Horvath - (516) 987-3961 is a private rehabilitator who accepts donations to help him with the costs. Several years ago he rescued two owlets which

had fallen out of the nest during a storm. They had some injuries and needed veterinary care. He constructed a new nest which he installed and the owl family was eventually reunited.

If the answer to the first question is, there are no injuries, then ask yourself, “Does the bird have feathers?” If the answer is yes- then it’s probably a fledgling

who tried to fly and failed but will fly soon. The parents still need to feed it so make sure there are no dogs, cats or predators and people in the area. If the answer is- it has no or very few feathers then it needs to be returned to the nest. So then ask yourself another question - Can you find the nest intact? If the answer is yes- then put the baby in the nest and observe for one hour. If the answer is no-make a nest close to the original nest location and observe for one hour. The last question is -Are parents returning and attentive? If yes you can leave the area and know the bird is safe. If the answer is no then you need

to call a wildlife rehabiliator. You can learn much more about helping birds from the Nassau County Audubon Societies. Check their easy-to-find websites for many other activities that they sponsor to help birds including supporting legislation and conservation activities.

Lastly, North Shore Audubon Society has helped Boy and Girl Scouts by having them help birds. Scouts have planted hundreds of native plants to help birds at public locations such as Science Museum of Long Island and Sands Point Preserve. Contact me at nsaudubonsociety@gmail.com. for any questions.

Moving in with a partner is a big step. Besides the logistics, the planning process often involves multiple discussions about your preferences and each of your unique needs. Once this has been completed, you may realize that you’ve forgotten to have a discussion about what happens once you’re together in the new space and how it may impact your relationship. Even if you have been with your partner for a while, you may be surprised at how your relationship can shift when cohabitating, so opening up a conversation is key. Below are a few suggestions.

Set aside time to communicate!

Communication is such an important part of relationships, especially when you go through a major transition such as moving in together. Remember, you each come from your own spaces, and

Planning is extremely helpful for people who have just moved in together. It is easy for people to get set in their routines. Even if you are in a long-term relationship, when not living together, you may not have checked in with your partner prior to making plans. This checking in is not about permission, but rather determining if there are scheduling conflicts and letting your partner know that you’re thinking about them/ their needs. Many couples find it helpful to create a joint calendar so that they know when the other person is available for meeting up with family or friends.

Limit distractions when together.

Many couples find it helpful to have a no-technology or limited technology night, although this can certainly be a challenge. Again, just because you live with your partner doesn’t necessarily mean you are spending quality time together. You may have relied on technology to stay connected with your partner prior to the move, but by removing technology from the equation, you eliminate distractions and can be fully present with one another during your time together.

Investigators Wrap Search Of Accused Long Island Serial Killer’s Home

After Heuermann’s arrest in Manhattan, his home became a crime scene and the center of what has become a national news story.

calling the investigation of Heuermann’s home “fruitful.”

jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

At the corner of Michigan Avenue and First Avenue in Massapequa Park, Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney, on July 25, visited the home of Rex Heuermann, who was arrested July 13 in the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Lynn Costello. He is the prime suspect in the death and disappearance of Maureen Brainard-Barnes.

“Investigation is continuing in regards to Maureen Brainard-Barnes as well as other aspects of the case,” Tierney said. “That’s being done in the grand jury, or through the grand jury process.”

An arrest in the case, which has been known as the “Gilgo Beach Murders”, is a long time coming. The investigation, sparked by a discovery along Ocean Parkway of 11 sets of human remains, began in 2010.

Reporters asked Tierney during a press conference in front of the home if there was any indication that the victims were murdered in the home.

“I don’t believe at this time we could say one way or the other,” Tierney said. “I would say we have obtained a massive amount of material, all of which has to be catalogued and analyzed.”

This process will take time, Tierney said.

Another reporter asked Tierney to elaborate on a comment made by Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison,

“I think what he’s referring to is the amount of evidence, which is quite a lot,” Tierney said. “Now its up to the job of the task force to go through that evidence. That’s a process. And we need to do that process. We won’t know exactly what we have for quite some time, just giving the sheer volume of evidence that was taken.”

Tierney discussed how ground piercing technology used in the backyard did not turn up any human remains.

“There is a trace analysis we have to go through with the house, with regards to hair fibers, DNA, blood,” Tierney said. “The house in general was cluttered and there were a lot of guns taken from the house. The defendant had 92 hand gun permits. In addition to hand guns, he had quite a few long guns as well.”

In total, Tierney said, approximately 279 weapons were recovered from the home. Police searched a number of properties in addition to the home, Tierney said. Police were seen searching a storage unit

in Amityville and seizing a Chevrolet Avalanche, which was described by a witness early on in the investigation, from South Carolina.

A reporter also asked if Heuermann’s DNA was entered into a database and related to any other unsolved crimes, as investigators are looking into his ties with Atlantic City, Las Vegas and South Carolina, and unsolved cases there.

“With regards to state and national DNA databases, there are specific rules with that under New York and federal law,” Tierney said. “Usually, that only happens when a person is convicted of a crime. As far as specifically the database, the DNA has not been entered in that database.”

In regards to Heuermann’s family; his wife and two adult children, Tierney said there’s no indication that they had any knowledge of Heuermann’s alleged double life. During the commission of three of the murders, the family was out of state. Reportedly, Heuermann’s wife has filed for divorce. Tierney said the family is represented by council.

Help Track Spotted

Lanternfly

Tiny black and white spotted insects are emerging from the egg masses laid by spotted lanternflies (SLF) last fall.

Spotted lanternflies (SLF) are invasive insects that feed on grapes, hops, maple trees, and other woody plants, posing a severe threat to our natural resources. Visit agriculture.ny.gov/spottedlanternfly for more information.

In New York, SLF is most common downstate, but one potential pathway for spread is SLF’s preferred host plant, tree-of-heaven (ToH), which is found in many locations across New York. A network of volunteers and professionals across the state are working together to monitor the spread of SLF and ToH. Through the “Claim a Grid Square” program, dozens of volunteers conducted hundreds of surveys

across the state last year. The Claim a Grid Square program has been re-launched for continued monitoring. All are welcome to join.

You can help protect New York’s agriculture and forests by knowing what to look for and how to report to New York’s official invasive species database, iMapInvasives.

NY iMapInvasives is managed by the New York Natural Heritage Program (NYNHP), which is a partnership between SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, with funding from the New York State Environmental Protection Fund.

When asked to think of a maritime tragedy, most likely called to mind is the Titanic, which sank amongst the North Atlantic waves in April of 1912. Yet this tragedy was preceded by another, which for 70 years had been considered the worst disaster in maritime history. This was the steamboat Lexington, which ignited and then sank into the Long Island Sound in January of 1840. The Lexington catastrophe caused the deaths of 140 passengers and crew, leaving only four survivors. Despite these chilling numbers, it seems much of the Lexington’s story has been lost in the modern day, as fewer and fewer people know of the ship and the devastation it left behind.

Notorious LI Tragedy Explored In New Book By Bill Bleyer

LAUREN FELDMAN

lfeldman@antonmediagroup.com

One author — Bayville’s Bill Bleyer — is trying to change this, revitalizing the history of the Lexington in his new book, The Sinking of the Steamboat Lexington on Long Island Sound.

Bleyer has published five previous works with History Press. His books have explored Long Island and its history, ranging from the Fire Island Lighthouse to George Washington’s Setauket spy ring during the Revolutionary War. In this latest book, he is back again to bring readers the story of the Lexington from its conception and construction to its sinking, the subsequent legal cases which ensued, as well as modern day efforts to research and rescue remains of the ship — which still sits nestled along the floor of the Sound. Considering that Long Island is rampant with boats used for transportation, business and enjoyment alike, many locals are unaware of the maritime travel around Long Island and the rocky waves of its past. The Lexington was a paddlewheel steamboat, commissioned by Cornelius Vanderbilt, that transported both passengers and cargo across the Long Island Sound

between 1835 and 1840. Sailing the Sound was actually quite difficult at the time, as Bleyer explains, because the body of water — about 100 miles long and up to 20 miles wide — could become quite rough. Another complication was fog, a constant companion to travelers on these temperamental waters.

Bleyer’s work is incredibly thorough in its coverage of the four survivors of the Lexington; Chester Hillard, Stephen Manchester, Charles Buckingham Smith, and David Crowley. Each of these men receives a riveting recounting of their stories, from escaping the boat to their subsequent journey on the Sound, as well as when and how they were finally rescued. Bleyer, true to his historian lens, does not make heroes or villains of these men, and instead provides intimate detail which makes a reader feel as though they are being rescued alongside each victim.

Following the disaster was also a lengthy court case, and Bleyer gives this part of the story its due time and attention. For as sensational as the sinking itself has been in other forms of media, not as much focus has been turned to the confusion and suspicions which surrounded the early weeks of the sinking. Several chapters are devoted to unraveling this mystery, including statement records and court logs directly from the trial.

Central to the story of the

Lexington was the role of the media. Conflicting reports left many people confused on what was happening at the time, and for a while afterwards. This conflict is a central focus in Bleyer’s book, and offers not just a commentary on the disaster, but a meta-commentary on the role news plays in reporting on disaster, and how disparate reports impeded the case and finding answers for those impacted. This theme coincides with the lithograph of the sinking, which sensationalized the story — both for good and bad — and rocketed the public imagination into even more gruesome territory. Bleyer features nearly 20 pages of photographs, including the original lithograph which sparked such controversy at the time of the disaster. Also included are scan images of the wreck in the modern day, as recovery efforts of the ship have now resumed since the tragedy.

This book is not for the faint of heart; it requires a passion for Long Island’s history, and a knowledge of — or an excitement to learn — the terminology of steamboats. Patient readers will be rewarded, however, with a fascinating exploration of a long-underappreciated, life-changing moment in Long Island’s history. Bleyer truly provides an all-encompassing work on this tragedy and the legacy it left behind.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

More than meets the eye

your last trump, and discards his deuce of hearts on the jack of clubs to make the contract.

You might go on to the next deal without giving the matter further thought, but the fact remains that you could have stopped South from making his game. Instead of discarding a heart on the third round of diamonds, you should have ruffed your partner’s ace and returned a trump!

Had you done this, South would have found it impossible to make the contract. Your trump return would have killed one of dummy’s vital entries before declarer could cash his A-K of clubs, and he eventually would have lost a heart trick to go down one.

Solution:

Assume you hold the West hand and lead your singleton diamond against four spades. East wins with the jack and continues with the K-A, on which you discard first the seven and then the four of hearts.

East obediently returns a low heart, but declarer goes up with the ace, cashes the A-K of clubs, leads a trump to dummy’s eight, ruffs a club, leads a trump to dummy’s queen and ruffs another club. South then crosses to the ace of spades, simultaneously drawing

Trumping partner’s ace is, of course, a spectacular and unusual play, but it makes a lot of sense here — if you stop to think about it. To begin with, it’s a play that can’t cost you a thing, since the trump you are wasting is of no earthly use to you.

More important than that is the 100% certainty that if South has a heart or club loser in his hand, it will be utterly impossible for him to avoid losing that trick — provided you trump your partner’s ace at trick three and return a trump at trick four to guard against the hand South actually has.

The Cinema Arts Centre To Host Alfred Hitchcock Retrospective

Beginning on Friday, Aug. 11 at 7 p.m. and running through Wednesday, Aug. 16, Huntington’s Cinema Arts Centre, 423 Park Ave., will present a retrospective of the films of master director Alfred Hitchcock. For six consecutive days, the Cinema will present a daily screening of one of Hitchcock’s greatest films. Each of the six film screenings will feature an introduction by local film historians who will discuss the history of the film, provide, and explore the impact of some of Alfred Hitchcock’s most influential and acclaimed works.

Considered the father of the thriller genre, and dubbed the “Master of Suspense”, Hitchcock directed over fifty feature films throughout a career that spanned from the silent era in the 1920s into the late 1970s. Today, he is regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of cinema, having pioneered many editing and camera techniques that have since become staples of modern cinema. Known for his signature blend of macabre, suspense, sex, and offbeat humor, Hitchcock is still among the most admired of film directors.

The films included in the retrospective are Psycho, Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, Notorious, Vertigo, and Shadow of a Doubt

The Cinema Arts Centre hopes to offer both Hitchcock fanatics, and those looking to see the films for the first time, the rare

opportunity to see these groundbreaking and exhilarating films on the big screen.

Tickets for each film are $15 ($10 for Cinema Arts Centre members).

Purchase tickets at www.cinemaartscentre.org.

Alfred Hitchcock’s landmark masterpiece of the macabre stars Anthony Perkins as the troubled Norman Bates, a man with an interest in taxidermy and a difficult relationship with his mother, whose old house and motel are not the place to spend a quiet evening. (USA, 1960, 109 mins, English | Dir. Alfred Hitchcock)

Strangers on a Train

Saturday, Aug. 12 at 7 p.m.

Introduction by Film Historian Philip Harwood

Adapted from the 1950 novel by Patricia Highsmith, the cheerful yet malevolent Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker), recognizes his fellow train passenger, tennis pro Guy Haines (Farley Granger). The chance encounter will set in motion a bizarre and deadly chain of events. (USA, 1951, 101 mins, English | Dir. Alfred Hitchcock)

COSMETIC SURGERY TODAY

STEPHEN T. GREENBERG, M.D., F.A.C.S. DOMINATES NY PLASTIC SURGERY LOOK YOUR BEST ON THE BEACH THIS SUMMER!

Several recent enhancements in technology have made cosmetic plastic surgery procedures safer and easier for the patient with a more natural outcome.

Implementing a healthy plan including diet and exercise will help to achieve both a beautiful and realistic result. There are a variety of procedures available today to help you achieve the look that you desire, including breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, liposuction, tummy tuck, fat transfer, cellulite reduction, full body lift, facelift and eyelid lift. Combining surgical with non-surgical procedures can produce amazing and significant improvements to your appearance.

Utilizing the latest technology, Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology offers rapid recovery breast augmentation and liposuction packages where you can be back to your daily routine in 24-48 hours.

Patients experience minimal swelling and bruising with a notably decreased recovery time. Recognizing the need for patients to quickly return to their normal activities, a Greenberg Rapid Recovery Procedure ensures both excellent results with a faster recovery period. In addition, there is a continued increase in the number of women having children at a later age who are seeking to obtain pre-pregnancy figure. New mothers can take advantage of the Greenberg Modern

Mommy Makeover, a very popular plan specifically designed to target the areas of the body most affected by pregnancy and childbirth. Combining a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift or breast augmentation, fat transfer or cellulite reduction treatment significantly transforms your look.

Another avenue to consider is the new non-invasive body sculpting treatment, Emsculpt which reduces fat and increases muscle mass in the abdomen and buttocks within 2 weeks without spending hours in the gym. Coolsculpting reduces fat in the treated area by 25%, without surgery!

Combine these two for a fit and toned silhouette this summer! For a quick refresh this Summer, injectable fillers are effective in reducing lines and wrinkles on the face without surgery. Exciting products like Botox, and the New Jeuveau smooth crow’s feet and frown lines while Juvéderm and Restylane restore volume and facial contour resulting in a rejuvenated look.

For over 30 years, Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology has been providing the proper mix of these procedures to provide the most successful improvements in appearance with a significant reduction in the signs of aging. Using the most state-of-the-art technology to obtain the best and most natural results, you can turn back the hands of time in a caring, safe and supportive environment. Remember, the perfect cosmetic package can create the perfect you!

Introduction by Film Historian Glenn Andreiev

In this intriguing, macabre visual study of obsessive human curiosity and voyeurism, renowned New York magazine photographer L. B. “Jeff” Jeffries (James Stewart) becomes convinced he has witnessed a murder and is set on solving the mystery. (USA, 1954, 112 mins, English | Dir. Alfred Hitchcock)

Notorious

Monday, Aug. 14 at 7 p.m.

Introduction by Film Historian Philip Harwood

In this anguished romance shot through with deception and moral ambiguity, Ingrid Bergman plays Alicia, a woman with a checkered past recruited by Devlin (Cary Grant), a suave intelligence agent. Only after she has fallen for Devlin does she learn that her mission is to seduce a Nazi industrialist (Claude Rains) hiding out in South America. (USA, 1946, 102 mins, English | Dir. Alfred Hitchcock)

Vertigo

Tuesday, Aug. 15 at 7 p.m.

Introduction by Film Historian Philip Harwood

Starring James Stewart as a former detective with a crippling fear of heights, Vertigo, is the story of a man who is possessed by the image of a lost love who becomes increasingly consumed with trying to recreate that image. Co-starring Kim Novak in dual roles, this timeless thriller about obsession is among Hitchcock’s most influential works. (USA, 1958, 128 mins, English | Dir. Alfred Hitchcock)

Shadow of a Doubt

Wednesday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m.

Introduction by Film Historian Glenn

Andreiev

What starts out as a charming portrait of idyllic small-town life gradually darkens into one of director Alfred Hitchcock’s most devastating thrillers. Teenage Charlie’s (Teresa Wright) illusions about her beloved Uncle (Joseph Cotten) are shattered by the suspicion that he may be the diabolical Merry Widow serial killer. (USA, 1943, 108 mins, English | Dir. Alfred Hitchcock)

Town Completes Field Upgrades At Robbins Lane Park In Jericho

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino recently unveiled new athletic field upgrades at Robbins Lane Community Park in Jericho. As part of park improvements throughout the Town, the full artificial turf field was replaced at this facility, which includes setup for soccer and lacrosse for various age groups.

“These important upgrades will enhance the playing experience and overall safety for young athletes and others who use these fields, which is why the Town Board and I have been making field improvements a top priority throughout all communities,” said Supervisor Saladino. “These upgrades are being achieved in the most cost-effective way while bringing added enjoyment to all who use them.”

Stephen T.

F.A.C.S. offers complimentary consultations at his state-of-the-art Woodbury, Southampton, Park Avenue, Smithtown and Boca Raton offices. To schedule an appointment, or request additional information, call 516-364-4200 or visit www.GreenbergCosmeticSurgery.com

Artificial turf fields have a general useful life of up to 10 years, however they are less expensive than the long-term cost of maintaining natural grass and a dirt surface. Turf fields also provide the potential for fewer cancellations of games due to inclement weather, as the field is able to absorb rain storms in a manner that is not possible on a fully-dirt infield.

For more information about town parks, including local programs and events, visit the town’s website at www.oysterbaytown. com/parks.

Jericho Teen Wins Top Prize At The Prestigious Jimmy Awards

SIA HAN

editors@antonmediagroup.com

On June 26, Lauren A. Marchand graced the stage at Broadway’s Minskoff Theatre, winning the 2023 Jimmy Award for Best Performance by an Actress along with $25,000 towards furthering her education.

The prestigious Jimmy Awards, presented by The Broadway League Foundation, are often referred to as the Tony Awards equivalent for high school musical theater performers. But Marchand’s life has been filled with music for as long as she can remember.

After seeing her favorite Disney movie, The Little Mermaid, come to life on the

Broadway stage at age four, Marchand knew she wanted to perform on that same stage. She first performed in a local production of Annie at a Merrick theater and never looked back.

Marchand has now performed in five productions throughout her years at Jericho High School, including the Broadway hit musical Frozen, where she played Elsa, winning the regional Roger Rees Award for her role. She was also elected as the President of the Thespian Honor Society, remarking that her time at JHS helped her grow as a performer and person “by growing my leadership skills and working in a team to produce a common goal.”

Life for Marchand has only sped up after the Jimmys, immediately gaining a larger social media presence, which she is now using to post performance videos and covers of her favorite Broadway songs. Additionally, she’s made many new professional contacts and is currently working on some

Competing To Be 2023’s Teen Idol

The second annual Downtown Sounds Teen Idol vocal contest, which began on July 7, featured four contestants aged 13 to 18 from the Gold Coast area. Every Friday at 7 p.m. before the Downtown Sounds concert series, attendees were treated to four performances as each contestant took the stage to perform.

This year’s contestants were Tatiana Andino-Mendez, a 17-year-old student from Glen Cove High School, Charlotte Dilgard-Clark, a 14-year-old from Glen Cove’s Robert M. Finley Middle School, Stasia Kulpa, a 16-year-old student at Our Lady of Mercy Academy, and Tammy Pattugalan, a 17-year-old from Our Lady of Mercy Academy. The winner is Andino-Mendez.

A panel of judges decided who would move on to the next week. Along with the judges, each week audience members were encouraged to help by voting for who they believed should be this year’s Teen Idol.

The rotating panel of judges included musicians, composers, and other talented figures in the industry. One judge, Lou-Ann Thompson, is a local singer-songwriter and manager of Glen Floors. Another, Teddy Christman, is the Artistic Director of the Christman Opera and Performing Arts Coordinator at DDI Company, as well as a pianist, composer, and vocal coach. John Gatto is a producer/guitarist and original member of the original Good Rats, who were signed to Warner Brothers and toured all over the world. Mark Newman is a songwriter and guitarist who has performed with artists including Sam Moore, John Oates, Jim McCarty and Bobby Whitlock.

“The Downtown Sounds Teen Idol contest has been an excellent way to showcase our local teens, and it’s also a lot of fun,” said Jill Nossa, executive director of the Glen Cove Downtown BID. “The partici-

pants are so supportive of each other, and the community is really into it again this year. It’s great to see a lot of younger people and families come downtown and cheer on the contestants.”

The first week of the competition saw all four girls compete; after a minor audio issue, all the contestants were invited back the next week to perform. The contest continued on July 21 as Andino-Mendez, Kulpa, and Pattugalan performed.

On Friday, July 28 at 7 p.m., the final two contestants competed to see who would be 2023’s Teen Idol.

As winner, Andino-Mendez sang “The National Anthem” at Glen Cove’s National Night Out on Aug. 1 and will perform at the Aug. 4 Downtown Sounds concert.

exciting projects.

In the fall, she plans to attend NYU Steinhardt School for Vocal Performance in Musical Theater and will continue to perform and attend auditions around New York City.

“The dream has always been to perform on Broadway, so hopefully in a few years, I will be pursuing that dream in some capacity,” Marchand said.

When asked what word of advice she would give to younger kids also dreaming of the Broadway stage, Marchand said, “One piece of advice I would give is to always be yourself. You have to be kind, but do not let other people walk all over you. Theater can be a ruthless field, but it is also beautiful too.”

Syosset Resident Crowned The 2023 International Role Model Sweetheart

On July 15, the 2023 Royal International Miss International Pageant Finals were held in Orlando. The DoubleTree at the entrance of Universal Studios was the host hotel for the amazing event.

Syosset resident Ava Walia is the newly crowned 2023 Royal International Miss International Role Model Sweetheart.

Over 180 girls from all over the world assembled for a wonderful week of pageantry, great parties and the opportunity to forge new friendships. It was truly the experience of a lifetime.

The international competition consisted of personal interview, onstage personal introduction, fashion wear runway and evening gown competitions. There were also optional competitions offered for the delegates to display public speaking skills in the spokes-model competition and their sense of style and fashion in a variety of runway competitions.

In addition to the stage and interview events, Royal International Miss strives to instill a sense of community and giving back to others. Our international delegates volunteered a total of over 11,000 hours in their communities over the past year. Recognizing these efforts, many awards and scholarships for various community service projects were awarded at the 2023 finale event as well.

The newly crowned international queens will be on a year-long journey to promote their titles in their home states and around the world throughout this year. Their prize package includes various trips, cash scholarships, photo shoots, appearance opportunities and much more.

Congratulations Ava!
