Women’s World Cup Watch Party Event combines fun, access and exposure to

women’s soccer

Nassau County showed signs of World Cup fever as the Women’s World Cup, held this year in Australia and New Zealand, hit the big screens.

On July 26, the Globall Sports Center in Garden City hosted a watch party for the United States Women’s soccer team as they took on the Netherlands.

This event was a joint effort between both Nassau County and the Long Island Rough Riders. Most people might know the Rough Riders as a professional soccer team, but they are much more than that. The Rough Riders also have an academy system which focuses on youth soccer from ages 5 to 18.

Adam Allaway, program director for the Long Island Rough Riders, talked more about the Rough Riders academy program.

“The Long Island Rough Riders are a soccer training club to provide training for youth players. We also have a pre-professional team to try to create a pathway for soccer players at any age or ability to excel in the world of soccer.”

The watch party had activities for everyone. Before the match kicked off, there were soccer themed games for kids to play like soccer-tennis and miniature soccer goals. If that got you hungry there were also concessions as pizza and drinks were being sold to prepare for kick-off.

While a fun event, this watch party meant a little more than just entertainment. Lauren Brossard, pre-academy director for the Long Island Rough Riders, talked to Nassau Illustrated News about the main goal of the watch party.

“This is a great community event that gets people exposure to the women’s game and to the women’s World Cup. Also to get youth players to start looking at these women as role models and what the game can bring not just as an athlete, but as people too.”

Brossard has been a part of the program for many years, and has enjoyed it from the start.

“I played for the Lady Riders, and then one of my good friends brought me into coaching and I just loved the program, I loved the company. I think they do it the right way, there is so much to learn from them and the experiences they provide.”

“There are a lot of programs for all ages and all abilities. The coaches are amazing, there are plenty of tournaments around the Island. It really gets kids a good exposure to

the game and knowledge of the game,” said Brossard.

All of the proceeds from this event went right back into the Rough Riders program. Both from concessions and raffle tickets, those who spent not only invested in fun but the Long Island Rough Riders as well.

“All of the money we make here goes back into our youth. All money raised by the club gets funded back into the club to improve facilities and improve programs to really try to enhance soccer here on Long Island,” said Allaway.

The watch party boosted the Rough Riders, but also gave fans a great way to watch soccer together. Raina Rahman, a United States team fan talked about her experience with the event.

“It was a great event, I wish the US would have won but I had a lot of fun. It was cool to see the community come together and support the women’s team.”

The Rough Riders are also partnered with the Long Island Soccer club, Allaway explained.

“It is in collaboration with Nassau County, the Long Island Rough Riders and our affiliate club, Long Island Soccer Club. The Long Island Soccer Club is a year-round club based here on Long Island that provides elite training and coaching for higher level athletes that one day will hopefully take inspiration from this World Cup and go and play at the highest level.”

The Rough Riders provide opportunities for kids to not only play and get better at soccer, but it gives them a chance to have fun and enjoy being a part of a team. Brossard talked about why she thinks the Rough Riders is a great opportunity for youth soccer.

“It keeps them (the kids) busy and they make friends from all over the Island. It’s just a great game. There are so many life lessons to be learned from it, life experiences and friendships [to be had]. It’s just an amazing sport that most of the youth have access to.”

Fans gathered at the Globall Sports Center in Garden City to watch the U.S. take on the Netherlands during a Women’s World Cup match July 26.

During the watch party, families enjoyed big-screen soccer action as all as on-the-field activities.

The event was co-organized by Nassau County and the Long Island Rough Riders soccer organization.

‘Zoe’s Law’ Earns Citation Invasive Spotted Lanternfly Has Reached Garden City

Zoe Grigoranki of Rushmore Avenue Elementary School in Carle Place, who just completed fifth grade, was selected as a finalist for the fifth annual “There Ought to Be a Law” contest hosted by New York State Assemblyman Edward Ra (R–Garden City South).

The daughter of Michael and Glenda Grigoraki was one of 41 children who were selected out of 700 contestants from various school districts. The children had to come up with an idea that could become a law one day.

“Your entry was identified as one of the best of the many which were received,” the letter inviting the family to a recent awards ceremony at Mineola Middle School read. “You can be very proud of your achievement.”

Zoe, 11, had an idea to replace existing stop signs in the Village of Westbury to solar-powered flashing LED blinker lights. She noted that many drivers either don’t see the stop signs or ignore them. Her research estimated the cost at $1,700 per light and would

not be a significant additional tax burden on village property owners.

“In the future, we can possibly add a camera as well. That is a story for another day,” she concluded.

In addition to her parents, Zoe’s fifth grade teacher, Kathleen Clarke, attended the ceremony.

The spotted lanternfly has reached Garden City, and we are asking residents to be on the lookout for this invasive pest. The insects have been spotted on several trees at the Village Water Works. They were also observed at the Senior Center and outside the Recreation Office at St. Paul’s.

We are asking all residents to look for the ;anternfly, and if seen, kill it and report it to the NYS Department of Agriculture using the form on their website, www. agriculture.ny.gov/reportslf.

Spotted lanternfly (SLF) is an invasive insect from Asia that primarily feeds on a wide variety of plants such as grapevine, hops, maple, walnut, fruit trees and others. This insect could impact New York’s forests as well as the agricultural and tourism industries.

In the US, SLF was first discovered in Pennsylvania in 2014 and has since been found in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and New York. The first New York State infestation was

discovered in Staten Island in August 2020.

The feeding on trees and plants by sometimes thousands of SLF stresses plants, making them vulnerable to disease and attacks from other insects. SLF also excrete large amounts of sticky “honeydew” which attracts sooty molds that interfere with plant photosynthesis, negatively affecting the growth of both trees and plants as well as the fruit yield of plants.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is working with the Department of Agriculture and Markets (AGM) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to address SLF. Since it is less expensive and easier to deal with a pest before it becomes widespread, the goal is to find and treat SLF infestations early.

A plan has been developed that describes how the agencies will detect and prevent further spread of SLF in New York. Extensive trapping surveys are being conducted

DEC and partner organizations encourage everyone to be on the lookout for this pest.

Willett Legacy Lives On In Sports

DYLAN ROSKOVENSKY

editors@antonmediagroup.com

Nassau County made history in 2000 when William J. Willett became their first African-American Police Commissioner. Years later his legacy lives on through grandson Michael Willett.

Back in 2000, Michael Willett knew little about what his grandfather’s appointment really meant.

“I remember growing up and kind of understanding how big it was, but not really, because I was a kid at that time,” said Willett

But as time went on Willett began to understand how important and impactful his grandfather’s life really was.

“I understand now. Now that I’m older, I see how much it really meant to me growing up. Just being able to keep his legacy alive. That’s what I want to do, to show that the Willetts are still doing something impactful.”

While Michael Willett may not be police commissioner, he himself has forged his own path in which his goal is to help people that had his same struggle. Willett

played college football at the University of Central Florida. He was on the team for three seasons, even making American All Academic-Team, but before his senior year he had a career-ending injury.

“I had a helmet to my quad that caused internal bleeding. That injury usually happens from a car accident, but mine happend on a football field,” said Willett.

All through his three years in college, Willett only knew football.

“Through that time I had a big identity crisis, I didn’t know who I was outside of being an athlete.”

Willett would end up interning at a student athlete welfare office. He learned life skills and resume building. That’s where he found his niche and that’s where WalkOn Nation came about.

“WalkOn is all about redefining athletic identity, centered around helping athletes not being defined by their status and realizing who they are as a person.”

“When people hear athletic identity, they think of the athlete part. What we’re redefining is that it is just a piece of who you are and your whole identity,” said Willett.

WalkOn Nation is beginning to catch on, as they are now partnered with large universities and high schools. Willett talked about why his clients are so valuable.

“They mean everything to me because I don’t do this necessarily for the money. I do it to help the student athletes as I know what it feels like to be lost. Being that I was able to serve all these universities and high schools, it means the world to me that I can give back and help others not feel the pain that I felt.”

It doesn’t just stop here. Willett has big dreams for his organization. He wants his program to be a platform for universities to take it upon themselves to help atheletes.

“The goal is to be able to serve as many student athletes as possible. Whether that’s around the nation, worldwide. End all be all, I want to do such a good job where I’m not needed anymore. That the universities understand and get it, that everything is in-house.”

Michael Willett aims to continue the Willett legacy in his own way. He wants his family’s accomplishments to be remembered.

“I want the Willett legacy to continue to grow by doing things for others. That my grandfather’s legacy doesn’t go unnoticed and the Willett name still lives on.”

Let‛s Get Crafty: Easy Sun Prints

Have you ever left something out in the sun so long, it changed color? The sun’s rays are full of a powerful energy called radiation, and that can fade the color out of objects. This can be used to produce some fun art on a bright day. You will need:

Construction paper

Objects (flat, solid items like rocks and leaves

Place your paper in full sunlight. Be sure to chose somewhere that will be in the sun for at least a few hours, like a window sill or on a picnic table or deck. Tape your paper down so it won’t blow away. Arrange your objects on the paper in a way that makes you happy. Once decorated, you can cover the papers with the clear lid. Leave your work for several hours. When you return, the sun will have

Animal Fact!

Flat-headed Cat

The flat-headed cat, according to the International Society for Endangered Cats in Canada, is one of the most unusual members of the cat family, with their long, narrow head and flattened forehead. They are the size of a domestic cat, but they have an elongated body, short legs with small, rounded paws and a short tail. Their coat is thick, soft and long.

Filling the role of a semi-aquatic carnivore, the long, narrow jaws and pointed, backward facing teeth help them catch and hold slippery prey such as fish and frogs. They can be found on Sumatra, an island in Indonesia; Borneo, an island in Asia; and the Malayan Peninsula. They are likely extinct in Thailand.

They inhabit tropical, lowland rainforests, swampy areas, marshes, lakes, streams, peat-swamp forest and riverine forest.

Very little is known about the flat-headed cat‛s ecology and behavior, but they are believed to be a solitary and nocturnal animal.

Threats facing flat-headed cats, one of the most endangered cat species in the world, include rapid loss of habitat due to human activities, toxic water pollution, persecution, depletion of fish stocks and snaring and poisoning.

House Candidates Announce Primary Plans

ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF

editors@antonmediagroup.com

With less than a year left before the 2024 midterm primary elections, numerous candidates have recently thrown their hats in the ring for NY-03 and NY-04 in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Those seats are currently held by Rep. George Santos and Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, respectively.

Here’s an early look at next year’s contenders, and what they’re saying as they plot the course on the long road to election day.

“Millions of Americans, including those in the 4th C.D. are saddled with debt from student loans and personal loans. Students as well as their parents who co-signed loans for them have been inflicted with debt. When I read about the recent legislation that passed in the House of Representatives, The Limit, Save, Grow Act which included the cancellation of the income driven repayment plan which has helped millions of Americans stay afloat, I decided to fight back against debt and run for Congress. The bill now sits in the Senate and hopefully will never be brought to the floor.”

Barbenheimer: The Experience

OLIVIA RAINSON

hen two of the most anticipated films of the year announced the same release date, July 21, social media exploded with buzz surrounding the movies Barbie and Oppenheimer Enter “Barbenheimer” — the Internet sensation created to describe moviegoers’ experiences watching both films as a double feature. Typically starting with a bleaker Oppenheimer, fans will immediately flock to Barbie to satiate their inner child for their second viewing of the day.

Excitement has been increasing on the red carpets leading up to the premiere, especially for Barbie — where the fashion has stolen the show. Inspired by past Barbie creations, Margot Robbie has been debuting iconic outfits inspired by the doll.

At the London premiere, Robbie wore a replica of “Enchanted Evening” 1960s Barbie in a Vivienne Westwood gown. Only increasing her accuracy, Robbie nailed her Los Angeles premiere outfit dressed in a sparkly black gown by Schiaparelli Couture as a nod to “Solo in the Spotlight” Barbie, also from the 1960s.

For Oppenheimer, the U.S. red carpet was canceled in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA strike — and the UK premiere was cut

what is next for the studios. Will upcoming films be delayed? Will new projects still be written? The future is unclear for Hollywood.

As for Barbie and Oppenheimer, they were released just in time.

Here is my experience of the “Barbenheimer” double feature:

OPPENHEIMER

Based on the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the token “father of the atomic bomb,” director Christopher Nolan brought the controversial Manhattan Project to the big screen.

With a star-studded cast and intricate production, Nolan created the film to not only be a historical retelling but to offer a deep dive into Oppenheimer himself — including the moral guilt and emotional turmoil he suffered from his invention. Cillian Murphy, who starred as Oppenheimer, gave a raw and intense performance alongside Robert Downey Jr, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon and Florence Pugh.

However, fans of Pugh and Blunt may

majorly played with her nude.

As for Blunt, her main role in the film was to play the alcoholic wife — despite Kitty Oppenheimer having a background in scientific education and credentials of her own. Only towards the end was her intelligence answered, as she was socially and scientifically aware of her husband’s career.

Disappointing yet not entirely surprising, Nolan faltered in this otherwise engaging film by demoting the women of the project as solely mentally ill mistresses and troubled damsels in alcoholic distress.

Running at 3 hours long, Oppenheimer remained captivating despite the lengthy run time and persisted at keeping viewers focused. Following the beginnings of Oppenheimer’s journey into the theoretical world of physics, the film flashes back and forth between the pre and post atomic world. The parallel storylines allow viewers to visually witness the gravity of the Manhattan Project and the unfolding of Oppenheimer’s conscience.

Capturing one of the most well-known events in history, Nolan certainly delivers a powerful and emotional story about the weapon of mass destruction that has forever changed our world.

BARBIE

Anticipating a lighthearted and uplifting film right after Oppenheimer, I was sur-

played by Margot Robbie, begins to question death and her true self, she begins to morph into a human — with her feet going flat and her perfect skin revealing cellulite. Gerwig establishes tongue-in-cheek humor at the difficulties faced by women in the 21st century, while keeping it lighthearted enough that all women viewing can laugh along.

Meeting a mother and her daughter, Barbie learns that reality is not what it had seemed, and women do not rule the world as they do in her world. With Ken experiencing an identity crisis as well as learning about the importance of horses and the patriarchy in the real world, the entire universe of “Barbieland” faces chaos and destruction at their own reality being shattered.

Promoted as being a movie for everyone, Barbie offers relatability for viewers who have owned Barbies, and even for those who turn their noses at the thought of supporting a doll that, according to the daughter in the film, has set back feminism.

However, Gerwig plays into the idea of the insecurities Barbie has presented for young women instead of denying them, and created a film that recognizes the distress that the image of a “perfect Barbie” can have on children.

Through giving Barbie a three-dimensional personality outside of her two-dimensional plastic world, Gerwig successfully urges her audience to think introspectively about what it means to be a woman and the perfect,

It All Started With A Peanut. COLUMNS

It all started with a peanut.

At least, that’s how I remembered the first time we fed the birds in our yard. Bird seed was great, but it sometimes made a mess, especially if the squirrels decided to hang from their feet on the edge of the feeder. This acrobatic maneuver tossed the seeds everywhere, which eventually led to weeds that I pulled from our nearby garden.

I went to a little store up in Syosset one summer to inquire about the best type of feed that would yield the greatest variety of birds. They advised a few of their particularly expensive blends, which led me to Home Depot for a twenty-pound bag of “value bird seed”. Mostly cracked corn, the mix also contained pieces of hay, intact sunflower seeds, and millet. For a while, this seemed to satisfy our feathered visitors, until I spoke to a high school chum, who told me of the nuthatches that often frequented his feeder. I visited Agway, purchased a case of suet cakes, and convinced myself that I would finally see more colorful plumage in our backyard.

At first, the squirrels and starlings were the only diners on the suet cake. By the time they were finished with said cake, it was often reduced to a small round piece of suet. Oftentimes I chased the starlings and grackles that gathered in large groups, mostly because they ate everything in sight and left nothing for the smaller sparrows, cardinals, and juncos. Eventually, they left the yard, which brought out nuthatches, flickers, and a few varieties of woodpecker that grazed at the suet feeder that was hidden by bushy hemlocks.

My aunt told me about the chopped peanuts that she often fed the birds in her own backyard. I had seen bags of these nuts, which were rather expensive and didn’t

contain much. During a weekly visit to ShopRite, I purchased two jars of store brand peanuts to conduct an experiment. I wanted to assess the types of birds that would flock to the yard when they realized peanuts were available for dining.

Apparently, peanuts were a favorite snack in the bird world. As soon as I placed a few nuts in the hollow of our dogwood tree, several sparrows swooped down to have a meal. They were followed in shifts by cardinals, blue jays, squirrels, and finally, those dang starlings that made a mess everywhere and caused quite a ruckus on the deck. I tried to time the feedings to prevent the starlings and grackles from stealing all the nuts from the smaller birds, which was usually very successful, but sometimes I stood on the deck like a soldier outside Buckingham Palace, broom in hand, and shooed them away until they got the hint.

Back in March of this year, I noticed a pair of cardinals that began to stop by for a quick snack every morning. Most times, the male greeted me with his head cocked to one side. As I approached to drop off a pile of peanuts, he flew into the pine tree above me and chirped happily until I retreated

into the house. He was often accompanied by a female, whom he fed from his own mouth. Male cardinals will often feed females during incubation, so they do not have to leave the nest. However, there is also a term known as “courtship feeding”, where the male cardinal feeds the female to prove that he is adequately able to handle the task of providing for their nest.

The male and female cardinal continued to visit on the daily, anxiously awaiting peanuts when I let our dog Luna out into the yard in the morning. The female recently greeted me on our porch swing, which was only a few feet from my head. She chirped eagerly as I placed a buffet of sunflower seeds and peanuts in the “designated spaces” on the deck railing. She was already at the first pile of peanuts before I even walked away.

Our daughter came to dinner with her fiancé a few weeks ago and caught sight of the female cardinal as she perched on the deck railing and trilled sweetly. My daughter took a closer look and exclaimed, “Mom! She only has one leg!” Sure enough, the little female hopped to a pile of peanut suet nuggets that we left her and balanced herself carefully on one leg before she dined. It was

heartwarming and interesting to watch her, especially because she didn’t allow her disability to interfere with the activity of nourishing herself. It was a gift from the Universe for me, especially as I am currently in the throes of an MS flare. While it sounds silly, I kind of felt like the bird and I bonded.

Every morning, the cardinal song wakes me with a smile. As I let Luna into the yard, the cardinal couple fly over to greet me, their cheerful chirps entertaining and encouraging at once. The sparrows arrive around the same time as the squirrels, whose movements are easily tracked through the swish of arborvitae that line our yard. In childhood, I often longed to be the Disney princess who fed the birds that landed on her hand or shoulder. I’m no Disney princess, but I’ve got quite a few feathered friends that have gotten used to my presence and fly quite close to me. And to think, it all started with a peanut.

Sapraicone Denounces Parole Of Convicted Killer Of NYPD Officer Edward Byrne

Scott Cobb, one of the killers of NYPD Officer Edward Byrne, is set to go free next month. Cobb is a convicted participant in the 1988 assassination of Officer Edward Byrne — one of the most heinous and noteworthy cop-killings in the nation.

“New York’s parole board should be ashamed of itself for releasing one of the criminals involved in the assassination of Officer Eddie Byrne,” said Michael D. Sapraicone. “I remember that fateful night in 1988 clearly. The tragedy struck the nation — and brought us as cops together with the community to make our neighborhoods safer. That will always remain Eddie’s legacy.”

“The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Program has helped police departments and communities

with critical federal funding to keep people safe, Sapraicone continued.

“These are the resources that elected leaders must stand behind — not the release of those who murder our heroes in blue. I will make this a top priority on Capitol Hill.”

“The parole of cop-killer Scott Cobb is yet another ludicrous, dangerous decision by New York’s parole board that cares more about cop-killers than the heroes who were murdered,” said NYPD Detectives’ Endowment Association President Paul DiGiacomo. “Officer Eddie Byrne’s assassination was an attack on every community in our city. As the parole board concerns itself with criminals, New Yorkers must send a message to Albany in the voting booth.”

BY CORY OLSEN

Fronted by couple Jameson Jenkins and Danni Christian, with Cameron West on drums, Clover’s Curfew has created a sound and an energy that is impossible to ignore. Their unique blending of musical genres, coupled with their disparate vocal styles, results in an illustration of beauty in contrast. With catchy songs driven by a fierce energy, Clover’s Curfew brings an intensity to their music that can best be described as infectious.

Clover’s Curfew resides at the intersection of traditional folk music and punk rock, with influences that span a spectrum of rock and roll. Jenkins’ acoustic guitar is accompanied by Christian on a range of instruments including ukulele, mandolin, violin, and bass. West, the newest member of the band, adds a pulse that drives the band forward. The combination of Christian’s melodic voice contrasted with Jenkins’s growling, screamed vocals provides a steadfast energy.

Both Jenkins and Christian have a love of music that started early on. For Christian, she recalled spending hours listening and sharing music with her father. “I remember when I got my first little laptop, we’d send emails back and forth of songs to listen to. We’d be sitting next to each other, with our headphones on, listening.” Her early listening covered a wide range of styles from Bruce Springsteen to Barry White to Motown.

Local Folk Punk Duo Set To Sail Away

Jenkins’ early influences were largely punk, including bands like The Exploited and Murphy’s Law. Jenkins explained how their backgrounds have influenced each other over time: “Danni has a very full knowledge of folk. I think that we continue to rub off on each other and share that influence on each other.”

The band got its start when they began writing music together in early 2018, but their story begins long before that. Jenkins moved around frequently with his family in his youth and eventually landed at Sachem North High School. After sharing a few classes together, Jenkins and Christian became friends. Over the next several years they passed in and out of each other’s lives as they each navigated different relationships and musical endeavors.

They began writing music together on a cheap ukulele Christian bought. As Christian put it, “I bought this cheap little ukulele, brought it over to his place that night and we started playing it. That was the night that ignited everything.” At the time, Jenkins’ band was in the process of breaking up, but Christian’s band was still going. Jenkins accompanied them on a trip to Austin,

Texas, where they were playing the South By Southwest festival. Then something shifted. Christian and Jenkins continued writing together and creating new music as cracks began to emerge in her band. The songs written together on the cheap ukulele became the genesis of Clover’s Curfew.

With the excitement of a new musical beginning, as well as having overcome personal struggles, Jenkins and Christian launched themselves in a new direction.

Then came the pandemic. The virus was not enough to stifle the creative energy for Clover’s Curfew. As they explained, “Let’s figure out the next step, We’re grateful at least we had each other and still had songs right? And we could still do the things that needed to be done.”

Within a short time they had added what may be considered one of the signature elements of the band, an old camper van dubbed “Pearl”. Soon they were on the road with a van full of instruments and batterypowered amplifiers. It was on this trip that a new era for the band emerged. As they put it, “well, we’re musicians. Everybody’s turning to the internet. We have the internet. You know what, let’s make a YouTube series

WHERE LONG ISLAND WINS!

and we’ll provide music to people who don’t have music right now and keep it fun and interesting.“

They continued their tour, making music to share with the world and meeting some of the people who helped shape the band’s future. Among them was Jesco Payne, who operates Low Shelf Recording in Portland, Oregon. Christian recalled: “I was like, ‘let’s hit him up, let’s try to do a song,’ So we met up with him in Portland. It was a very weird time to even be in somebody’s house. Especially not knowing each other, we were just two random strangers who were traveling in our van.” They recorded two singles at Low Shelf, “From My Throne” and “Make Believe.”

They returned to New York before briefly heading out once again, this time doing collaborations with artists such as Laura Jane Grace of Against Me! and Abby The Spoon Lady. Recently they have added their current drummer, Cameron West. He comes on board in time to head back to Portland to record their latest Album, Sail Away, at Low Shelf Recording.

At the time of publication Clover’s Curfew is in the second leg of their nationwide tour. In October they will be returning to Long Island. Follow their Instagram account at @cloverscurfew or on YouTube.com/@ CloversCurfew. October may be a long way off, but catching this band live will be an experience well worth the wait.

Check Your Titers

You need vaccines throughout your life. Adults need to keep their vaccinations up to date because immunity from childhood vaccines can wear off over time. It is important to have your titers checked annually during your annual doctor’s visit.

A titer test is a blood test that detects the presence and levels of certain antibodies in an individual’s blood stream. The test is often done to determine if the individual is immune to a certain virus or if they require a vaccination to increase their immunity. You may already have immunity to the virus that is being tested due to previous vaccinations or if you had contracted the disease in the past.

If a titer test reveals that your antibody count is lower than the acceptable immunity threshold, you may require a vaccine or booster to increase your immunity to that virus.

You are also at risk for different diseases as an adult. Vaccination is one of the most convenient and safest preventive care measures available.

All adults should get:

• Flu vaccine every year to protect against seasonal flu

• Td/Tdap to protect against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough)

Based on your age, health conditions, vaccines you received as a child, and other factors, you may need additional vaccines such as:

• Chickenpox

• Hepatitis A

• Hepatitis B

• Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

• MMR

• Meningococcal

• Pneumococcal

• Shingles

3 Reasons For Adults to Get Vaccinated

1. You may be at risk for serious diseases that are still common in the U.S. Each year thousands of adults in the United States get sick from diseases that could be prevented by vaccines — some people are hospitalized, and some even die.

Even if you got all your vaccines as a child, the protection from some vaccines can wear off over time. You may also be at risk for other diseases due to your age, job, lifestyle, travel, or health conditions.

2. You can’t afford to risk getting sick. Even healthy people can get sick enough to miss work or school. If you’re sick, you may not be able to take care of your family or other responsibilities.

3. You can protect your health and the

health of those around you by getting the recommended vaccines.

Vaccines lower your chance of getting sick. Vaccines work with your body’s natural defenses to lower the chances of

getting certain diseases as well as suffering complications from these diseases.

Vaccines lower your chance of spreading certain diseases. There are many things you want to pass on to your loved ones; a vaccine

preventable disease is not one of them.

Infants, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems (like those undergoing cancer treatment) are especially vulnerable to vaccine preventable diseases.

Vaccines are one of the safest ways to protect your health. Vaccine side effects are usually mild and go away on their own. Severe side effects are very rare.

Getting Vaccinated

Storing Fat Around The Waist May Not Up Your Diabetes Risk

Conventional wisdom holds that storing fat around your belly puts you at increased risk for type 2 diabetes. But surprising new findings from the University of Virginia School of Medicine suggest that naturally occurring variations in our genes can lead some people to store fat at the waist but also protect them from diabetes.

The unexpected discovery provides a more nuanced view of the role of obesity in diabetes and related health conditions. It also could pave the way for more personalized medicine—treatments tailored to the individual. For example, doctors might prioritize weight loss for patients whose genes put them at increased risk but place less emphasis on it for patients with protective gene variants, the researchers say.

“There is a growing body of evidence for metabolically healthy obesity. In this condition, people who would normally be at risk for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes because they are obese are actually protected from adverse effects of their obesity. In our study, we found a genetic link that may explain how this occurs in certain individuals,” said researcher Mete Civelek, PhD, of UVA’s Center for Public Health Genomics. “Understanding various forms of obesity is

important to tailor treatments for individuals who are at high risk for adverse effects of obesity.”

Abdominal Fat and Good Health

As medicine grows more sophisticated, understanding the role of naturally occurring gene variations will play an important role in ensuring patients get the best, most tailored treatments. The new work by Civelek and his team, for example, indicates that variants can simultaneously predispose some people to store fat at the abdomen— thought to put them at increased risk for a cluster of health problems called metabolic syndrome—while also protecting them from type 2 diabetes. (Metabolic syndrome raises the risk for diabetes, stroke and other

serious health issues.)

One of the metrics doctors use to determine if a patient has metabolic syndrome is abdominal obesity. This is often calculated by comparing the patient’s waist and hip measurements. But Civelek’s research suggest that, for at least some patients, it may not be that simple. In the future, doctors may want to check a patient’s genes to determine how to best guide the person down the road to good health.

and School of Engineering. “To our surprise, these five regions decrease an individual’s risk for type 2 diabetes.”

patients,

“We found that among the hundreds of regions in our genomes which increase our propensity to accumulate excess fat in our abdomens, there are five which have an unexpected role,” said Yonathan Aberra, the lead author of the study and a PhD candidate at UVA’s Department of Biomedical Engineering, a joint program of the School of Medicine

In addition to producing surprising findings, Civelek’s research provides important new tools for his fellow researchers seeking to understand the complexities of gene variations. The sophisticated approach Civelek and his collaborators developed to identify the relevant variants and their potential effects will be useful for future research into metabolic syndrome and other conditions.

The tools could also prove invaluable in the development of new and better treatments for metabolic syndrome, the scientists say.

“We now need to expand our studies in more women and people from different genetic ancestries to identify even more genes that underlie the metabolically health obesity phenomenon,” Civelek said. “We plan to build on our findings to perform more experiments to potentially identify a therapeutic target.”

Parents have the power to instill many health life lessons in their children, such as brush their teeth twice a day, eat their veggies, always buckle up and never smoke. One more vital action to add to these basics: protect their skin from the sun. Research has shown that 90 percent of the two most common types of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), are associated with ultraviolet (UV) exposure, and they can be serious and disfiguring. Just one blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence more than doubles a person’s chances of developing melanoma, which has a higher chance of spreading than other types of skin cancer. Indoor tanning increases the risk of all three main types of skin cancers. Getting kids into the habit of daily sun protection, including sunscreen, clothing and seeking shade, helps ensure that they’ll practice it for the rest of their lives. And the best time to start is right at the start.

Newborns to Six Months

The challenges: You’ll never encounter less resistance to sun-protective measures from your child than you will at this stage of life. Enjoy it! Challenges may come from outside pressures—going on an annual family beach vacation, for instance, or

attending outdoor events.

Avoid it: The consensus of our experts is clear: Babies need to be kept out of the sun, period. Dermatologists also advise against using sunscreen on babies under six months due to their delicate skin.

Keep them covered: If infants must be outside during the peak sun hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., use everything in your arsenal to protect them: Look for shade, use stroller awnings, and provide physical protection including a hat, sunglasses and sun-protective clothing.

Instruct (and remind) caregivers, too: Babysitters, day-care providers and family may mean well, but don’t assume they’re following your rules. Be a clear and consistent enforcer.

Model good behavior: Lay the groundwork for a lifetime of sun safety by wearing sunscreen and taking other sun-protective measures yourself daily. They’re watching, and it’s never too early to set a good example.

Toddlers to Tweens

The challenges: At this age, kids can be squirmy or downright resistant when you try to apply sunscreen. It’s often a battle of wills. If kids are in outdoor activities at day care, preschool or camp, caregivers may not be as vigilant about reapplying sunscreen as you would like.

What does it take to go from fear to hope, faster than you thought possible?

Through Rapid Diagnosis, MSK helped Kieran get biopsied, diagnosed, and started on his cancer treatment, all within 10 days of his first appointment. “It felt like MSK’s main goal was to get me better as fast as possible. You could tell that they cared.”

Establish habits: At six months, it’s time to apply sunscreen to babies’ exposed skin. Fragrance-free “physical” sunscreens, with mineral active ingredients zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, are least likely to cause a reaction in sensitive skin. Keep up with covering up, too. Introduce cool rash guards with ultraviolet sun protection (UPF), hats, sunglasses—and seek shade when available. Get them involved: Toddlers like to feel in control, so give them choices and let them help in the application process. Little hands can grip a sunscreen stick. While sunscreen spray is fun, make sure to avoid inhaling by spraying it into their hands and letting them rub it in.

Make it fun: Children can be squirmy. To get the job done, master the art of distraction. Sing songs, create easy-to-remember mantras.

“I like to say, ‘If you can see, then there’s UV!,’” said Elizabeth Buzney, MD, a dermatologist at Brigham and Women’s Health in Boston and Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.

“Teach your child that UV stands for ultraviolet light from the sun and that you need to protect the skin from it during the daylight hours.” You can even add a few drops of food coloring or superfine glitter to make sunscreen more exciting for little ones.

Enlist help: Talk to a director at your child’s day care, school, camp or athletic facility to ensure they can enforce sunscreen application. Ask if they have shade or shade structures to provide some relief from the sun during peak hours. You may have to be proactive.

Teenagers

The challenges: Unfortunately, the i dea that tanning is attractive still has a deep hold and can be tough for even a committed parent to combat. And it’s not just peers who may be pressuring teens to tan. More people develop skin cancer from indoor tanning than develop lung cancer from smoking. No wonder the practice is banned in Australia and Brazil, and it is outlawed for people under 18 in 11 other countries and 20 states (plus Washington, D.C.).

Boys can feel pressured to tan as well. “My son was told at sleepaway camp that he looked good when he was tan,” said Amy Wechsler, MD, a New York City dermatologist and psychiatrist. Teens of both sexes (and adults) who are into outdoor sports have the challenge of keeping exposed skin protected for hours at a time.

Make sun care part of skin care: Use a teenager’s natural interest in their appearance to make the case for sun protection. Many skin-care products and cosmetics contain broad-spectrum sunscreen, and it’s a good way to motivate them to wear sunscreen daily. Cute rash guards, cover-ups, sunglasses and widebrimmed hats are also easy and fashionable ways to sneak in sun protection.

Be direct: Have an honest conversation about the dangers of tanning—and that there’s no such thing as a “healthy tan.” If your teen burns, push harder on the need

for UPF clothing, hats, sunglasses and shade.

Get real about social media: Remind your teen that social media is full of retouched images, skin-enhancing filters and dangerous misinformation. Suggest board-certified dermatologists your teens can follow for accurate info.

Fake it: A self-tanner is an option if teens insist on tan skin for a special event. Just make sure they still cover up and use sunscreen; a faux glow won’t protect.

“I tell my patients to get it before the beach vacation, so they don’t feel the need to sit out in the sun to get a tan,” Dr. Buzney said, while reminding them that a fake tan provides minimal protection from UV rays. Sunscreen is still a must.

Bottom line: Since people acquire approximately 25 percent of their lifetime UV damage before age 18, you can’t start teaching kids about sun protection too soon.

“When I was growing up, my parents felt very strongly about not smoking and always wearing a seatbelt in a car, and I’ve never smoked and never not worn a seatbelt,” said Dr. Wechsler. “With my kids, I added helmets for biking and skiing—and sun protection.” Chances are, those are lessons her kids will take to heart.

Reduce Risk Of Food Poisoning

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 6 Americans (48 million) get sick from foodborne illness each year, and the risk rises in summer as the warm weather boosts bacterial growth.

Easy ways to prioritize fire and food safety at your next BBQ:

This spacious fieldstone cape-style home at 51 Mayflower Ave. in Williston Park sold on July 19 for $950,000. It is located within the Herricks School District. It boasts a stone fireplace, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The updated extended kitchen has granite countertops, a Viking stove and convection/ microwave, Sub-Zero fridge and separate freezer and porcelain floors. The ceiling is vaulted and includes skylights. The kitchen has access to a patio and oversized yard. The property is 60’ x 100’ and includes an attached garage. The home is close to schools, shopping, transportation and parks.

This stunning colonial at 598 Marcellus Rd. in Williston Park sold for $1,420,000 on June 30. It is located in the award-winning Herricks School District. A two-story entry foyer welcomes you to 3,000 sq. feet of living space (not including the basement) completely renovated and expanded with gleaming hardwood floors and Andersen windows throughout. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a center island, beautiful quartz countertops and a tile backsplash. The family room with fireplace and custom built in bookshelves is entertainment-ready. The first floor also includes a junior suite bedroom (or can be used as an office). The second floor boasts master bedroom with en suite and two walk-in closets. Three additional spacious bedrooms

and a bathroom complete the second floor. The home has an LG washer and dryer, conveniently located on the second floor. The lower level is completely finished with a full bathroom and a separate entrance. The large front porch made from composite

captures the beauty of real wood without the upkeep. The fencedin backyard and detached garage are complete with electric. The lawn has a sprinkler system and new sod. The property is near shopping, restaurants and the railroad station.

• Keep your raw and cooked meat utensils separate. Using different plates and tongs for raw and cooked meat ensures cross-contamination can’t occur. If you’re working with limited containers, place cooked meat directly onto your guests’ plates so that the board or plate is only used to bring raw meat to the grill. Make sure to use hot, soapy water to wash anything that raw meat has covered thoroughly.

• Make sure your meat and side dishes are covered. While it’s tempting to put on a spread and then turn all of your attention to the grill, it’s much safer to keep your side dishes covered with foil or clingfilm right up until you need to use them to avoid any bugs or bacteria sneaking in. You’ll also want to keep your meat refrigerated until the grill has heated up - unless the product says it needs to reach room temperature first.

• Avoid placing hot dishes on cold and wooden surfaces. Not only can placing hot dishes on

your countertops cause blistering or burning but it can also make it harder for your guests to keep track of which containers are too hot to touch. Place glass or metal dishes on a wooden chopping board or cooling rack so that it’s easier to distinguish and so you avoid damaging your kitchen surfaces.

• Make sure your grill is clean before firing it up. The best time to clean your BBQ is immediately after it’s heated but before you start cooking again, as this will make it easier to get grease off and ensure you’re not contaminating food. Brush off the grates and racks once they’re cool with a wire brush, scraper, or scourer, and keep an eye out for any debris that may fall onto the hot coals while your food cooks.

• Keep a bucket of water or sand nearby. Your BBQ should ideally be set at least 10 feet away from your house and should have a bucket of water or sand close by for emergency extinguishing. If your BBQ uses gas, don’t use water and instead opt for sand or salt, as water on a grease fire can cause a flare-up. Make sure to close the lid once adding your water/sand to help starve the fire of oxygen.

Sustainable Camping With Some Comforts Of Home

Bring along some of the comforts of home on your next camping trip. Search around your home to see what items you can repurpose at your campsite.

• Place a compact area rug on the floor of your tent for a cozy environment. A small rug at your tent’s entrance can help to keep from tracking dirt inside. Bring one from home or find one at a yard sale or thrift store. A carpet runner over your tent threshold also means no more tripping in or out of your tent.

• Use battery operated candles around your campsite at night when you need a bit of extra light and ambience. Make sure you use rechargeable batteries and that they are fully charged prior to your outing. You will still want to make sure you have a good reusable battery operated lantern or two. Lanterns can be hung in the vicinity of your campsite as well. Don’t forget a headlamp for those late-night trips to the restroom.

• Bring blankets from home and place them on your air mattress or cot.

• Use a crate or tote to transport some needed items to the campsite. You can then use the crate as a small side table

inside your tent. Baskets are another option for transporting items and can be used to decorate your space. A suitcase is another potential table in the making. Either use “as is” or cover with a cloth.

• Jazz up campfire favorites such as hotdogs and s’mores. For hotdogs, consider special toppings such as a homemade chili. Get creative with the chocolate you use for your s’mores - and you can think outside the graham cracker box as well - putting your roasted marshmallow and chocolate in between two favorite cookies instead. Charcuterie also can transport and keep well at a campsite. No matter what you choose for your menu items, make sure you properly dispose of wrappers and packaging. Remember, such items should never go in a campfire.

• Bring a blanket and/or pillows for a mealtime picnic.

• Use cloth napkins-mix and match with this environmentally friendly option. Rinse out after use and be ready to reuse again.

• Bring some of your favorite card or board games-or try something new. Visit a local thrift shop for game ideas - just make sure all pieces are there prior to purchase.

Puzzles and books can also capture interest and provide entertainment under the stars-those too can often be found at yard sales and thrift stores. Such purchases provide savings while promoting reuse.

• If you are camping with children, ask about the Junior Naturalist Program when you check in. The journal is packed with fun activities including some to teach your kids about sustainability. When the journal is complete, an embroidered patch is earned!

• Bring a French press or other manual coffee or tea maker. A warm cup of coffee brewing can add aroma and taste to your outdoor adventure. Put any used grounds in an empty container and dispose of

them properly. Coffee grounds are also a great way to dispose of the grease from cooking bacon. Just add the grease to your container of coffee grounds and let it cool.

• Reusable plastic containers can be used for cold lemonade or other beverages. Remember to save containers for recycling and to return deposit containers at redemption centers after your trip.

• Some campgrounds require clear trash bags to dispose of your garbage. Check with campground staff before you go so you are in the know!

Visit a DEC campground for your summer camping trip(s). Remember to Leave No Trace and carry out what you carry in.

The Creedmoor Project: What You Should Know

people.”

City Councilmember Linda Lee, who spearheaded the rally and a previous one last week, also added that the lack of transportation and process of gathering resources such as air conditioners and water to the shelter will prove rather difficult.

On Jul. 26, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced the parking lot of the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens will become a shelter set to house 1,000 migrant asylum seekers. The shelter is only available to males and will provide services including medical care and meals.

Mayor Adams stated that thousands of “asylum seekers” are transported to NYC per week with no intention of stopping. Some Creedmoor residents without children will be given a 60-day notice to find different living arrangements in order to make room for incoming families. Officials said the migrant center should be running in full capacity some time next month.

Twenty-four hours after Mayor Adams confirmed the news about Creedmoor, a press conference and protest were held on-site approximately 30 minutes apart.

Joe Concannon, chairman of the Queens Village Republican Club, directed the movement gathering around 100 concerned citizens.

“We have to make a very strong

stance against this for our community,” Concannon said. “It doesn’t just affect the Bellerose-Queens Village community.” Concannon explained his thoughts to his fellow protesters, expressing concerns over public safety, schools and the impacts suspected to fall on communities. There are multiple schools in close proximity to the migrant shelter including Parsons Preschool and Martin Van Buren High School on Hillside Ave. Citizens are worried

that bringing in a large number of migrants will make the surrounding areas unsafe for children and schools.

Another rally was held inside a local senior resource center organized by Northeast and Central Queens elected officials, who stated they felt Creedmoor is not a suitable site to house migrants due to its distance from public transportation. State Senator Toby Ann Stavisky said “Creedmoor is not the place to dump 1,000

“The opening of the newest Humanitarian Emergency response and Relief Center is a testament to New York City’s resilience and our commitment to provide for those in need,” said NYC Emergency Management Commissioner Zach Iscol. Since the humanitarian crisis began, NYC has opened up 190 emergency shelters, including 12 other large-scale shelters.

The Creedmoor Psychiatric Center is located on Winchester Blvd. in Queens Village. It was named after the Creed family, who farmed on the land. In the early 1870s, New York State purchased land from the Creeds and sold it to the National Rifle Association of America. The NRA constructed a firing range which lasted 20 years, but declined in public interest with regular noise complaints.

The hospital, originally named the Farm Colony of Brooklyn State Hospital, was established in 1912 with 32 patients. Increasing to 150 patients in the first six years, the census swole to 7,000 inpatients by 1959.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Responsibility and power go together. Taking responsibility gives you power, and you can’t have real power if you don’t take real responsibility. is week, you’ll take on a cause wholeheartedly and make it your own. It won’t be long before you are known for this and it is indeed a part of you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). e eyes in your head can only see what’s visible, and even then, as they are only focused on one thing at a time, they miss a lot. But your invisible eyes can see invisible things and many things at once. You can trust the information they take in this week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). While some will be inclined to spin the roulette wheel or pull on the handle of a slot machine, hoping for destiny’s favor, you prefer to base your nances on something far less precarious. You’ll nd security in a fair exchange of sweat to dollars, and you’ll leverage your work and talent to make a tidy bundle this week.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s exciting to be around passionate people, though there may be consequences to bringing them in to certain environments where caution is what’s called for. Your heart may be such an environment. You will learn a fuller range of someone’s personality and get a sense of how they might t into your world.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Silence is wisdom’s favorite dancing partner. It will take a great deal of restraint not to say what pops to mind, but you’ll hold back and observe, intent on listening carefully and reading the room accurately. You will wait until you are convinced your input will be helpful, then you’ll give generously.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). ere are those who ask things of you all day long, but they are not the ones who need you the most. e neediest will be quiet and may not even know what to ask for. You’ve a talent for sensing the best way to take care of people. Just remember that you can’t give what you don’t have. Replenish yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You crave certain aesthetic standards -- a blessing and a curse. You feel it is your responsibility to nd, appreciate and utilize the splendor around you. It’s not always easy, but it pays o for you. People warm to the loveliness you cultivate, and portals of opportunity open wide.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). e body has its own intelligence. It’s not hard for you to imagine that your muscles, bones and cells hold energy of things forgotten, but do they also hold the energy of experiences to come? Your intuition will tingle this week, and acting on your inklings will bring you good fortune.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may feel stuck, but it’s because you are buying into an illusion. With a little detachment, you’ll notice your rights and freedoms and you’ll clearly see what limits are imaginary. Pretend you’re an actor playing a role that just happens to be “you.” Step outside of it for a moment to decide how best to play this.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A chasm of confusion matches an age gap. If you feel misunderstood by the generation before you and underappreciated by the one behind you, know that you’re not alone -- it’s the same for every generation.

1. Pass. The best way of deciding what to do is to apply, in reverse, the general rule that an opening bid facing an opening bid equals game. Here you barely have the values for an opening bid, and partner, who passed initially, is known to hold less than 13 points. It is thus highly unlikely that your side can make a game. The only question remaining, therefore, is where your best partscore contract lies.

Partner’s two-diamond response (not forcing because he passed originally) promises 10 or more points and a good suit. It also

denies support for spades. With no good reason to think that a better contract than two diamonds is available, you should pass while you still have a chance for a plus score.

2. Four spades. This isn’t much of a hand, but its actual value depends much more on what you hear than on what you see. Partner is virtually guaranteeing nine tricks with spades as trump and is asking you to carry on to game if you have anything at all to contribute. So, although his three-spade bid is not forcing, you should happily bid four on the basis of your J-8-4-3 of spades and ace of clubs. Partner might have either of these hands:

♠ KQ1072 ♥ AK5 ♦ 8 ♣ KQ94

♠ AK92 ♥ KQJ85 ♦ A7 ♣ K5 and you would want to be in game opposite both.

3. Four hearts. Despite partner’s initial pass, you should have a reasonably good chance for game. True, you have only three small hearts, but that should not deter you, since partner is sure to have at least five very good ones for his two-heart bid. He might have any of these hands:

♠ J6 ♥ KQJ87 ♦ QJ4 ♣ 932

♠ A92 ♥ Q1087543 ♦ 8 ♣ J4

Don’t Get Exposed: Sun Safety Tips

Keeping skin protected pays dividends in the long run

AMANDA OLSEN

aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

With summer in full swing, most people plan to spend time outside at the pool or beach. Being outside is a great way to relax, get some exercise, and take in a little vitamin D. While being exposed to too much sun does raise the risk of developing skin cancer, with some simple precautions you can protect your skin from the sun.

Skin cancer is caused by too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. This light comes from the sun, tanning beds and sunlamps. Ultraviolet (UV) light has shorter wavelengths than visible light, making them invisible to the human eye. The CDC states that protection from UV rays is important all year, not just during the summer. UV rays can reach you on cloudy and cool days, and they reflect off surfaces like water, cement, sand, and snow.

The precautions to mitigate UV exposure are common-sense measures for the most part. First, avoid being outside when the sun is strongest. In the continental United States, UV rays tend to be strongest from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daylight saving time (9 a.m. to 3 p.m. standard time). “If you stay out of the sun during those hours as much as possible, stay

in shaded areas, that’s ideal if you’re outside,” said Dr. Richard Carvajal, MD, a leader in rare melanoma research at Northwell Health.

Second, make sure your clothing blocks the sun’s rays. Clothing is available with an SPF rating, which measures how well it protects your skin from the harmful radiation. “There’s sun-safe clothing that you can wear that has a kind of SPF protection in it. Which is really great, particularly for the kids, you know, who may not be wearing sunscreen as much as you want them to,” Dr. Carvajal said. He also recommends a broad-brimmed hat that shields the eyes and covers the back of the neck.

County Su reme Court 00

When it comes to sunscreen, the best option is the one you are most likely to use, whether a spray or a lotion. According to Dr. Carvajal, “Apply it, apply a lot and apply it often. I think the issue with sunscreen is people sometimes forget to use it altogether. So you have to remember to put it on, but also remember to reapply every couple of hours. After you go in the pool or something, make sure to reapply at that point as well.” There are a few key areas of the body that are often overlooked. These include ears and feet. “People always forget behind the ears. People always forget the top of their feet, so if

you’re wearing sandals, those feet will always get burned. With the sprays, always make sure that it’s coating the entire body.” One advantage of mineral-based sunscreens is that they need to be rubbed in, forcing a little extra attention to parts that might otherwise get overlooked.

Because of awareness campaigns, sunscreen has become ubiquitous at some public areas. “There’s been so much awareness of this if you go to the public pools and stuff, they’ll frequently have just canisters of sunscreen there for public use. More and more you’re seeing sunscreen in public places as well,” said Dr. Carvajal. Still, making sunscreen a regular part of the family’s routine helps them remember to use it. Adding a bottle of sunscreen to the kids’ school bag will make sure they always have it on hand.

Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly announced that a Westbury man was sentenced in late July to eight years in prison for selling more than a dozen illegal firearms between October 2020 and January 2022.

Gerald Pierre, 40, pleaded guilty before Judge Howard Sturim on June 1, 2023, to criminal sale of a firearm in the first degree (a B violent felony) in satisfaction of the indictment. The defendant was sentenced to eight years in prison and five years’ post release supervision.

“This defendant sold an assortment of incredibly dangerous illegal semi-automatic rifles and assault weapons, including several large-capacity magazines, and then fled the county,” said DA Donnelly. “Through the diligent efforts of the Nassau County Police Department and my prosecutors, Pierre was apprehended in Philadelphia, extradited, and will now go to prison. We continue to make strides in getting illegal guns off our streets and we will not let up in our efforts.”

DA Donnelly said, according to the charges, on nine separate dates between

October 2020 and January 2022, the defendant sold a total of 14 illegal firearms, including semi-automatic rifles, assault weapons, revolvers, and pistols. Seven of those firearm sales took place in Westbury, one in Uniondale and another in Hempstead.

Nearly all the firearms were loaded or sold with accompanying ammunition, and many were sold with large-capacity magazines that could hold up to 60 rounds of ammunition.

In February 2022, the defendant fled Nassau County and a warrant was issued for his arrest. On January 10, 2023, the defendant was arrested by Amtrak Police near Philadelphia for an unrelated matter, and it was discovered that the defendant had an open arrest warrant in New York. The defendant was extradited to Nassau County on March 29, 2023.

The case is being prosecuted by Senior Investigative Counsel Brian Rodriguez of the Narcotics, Firearms and Gangs Bureau. The defendant is represented by David Haber, Esq.

North Hempstead Celebrates Fuschillo Park Reopening

North Hempstead Supervisor

Jennifer DeSena and Councilmember Robert

Troiano are proud to announce that Charles J. Fuschillo park has reopened after the Town embarked on an extensive renovation project to bring major improvements to the park. Supervisor DeSena and Council Member Troiano celebrated the reopening with a ribbon cutting celebration on Saturday, July 22 that was attended by hundreds of residents.

“The long-awaited multi-million-dollar rehabilitation of Charles Fuschillo Park in Carle Place is officially complete, and we are so excited that it has reopened to the community,” Town Supervisor DeSena said. “The finished product is a truly spectacular community park that has received its most extensive set of upgrades in nearly 30 years, and we are so excited for families and children in Carle Place to enjoy these new amenities. This park rehabilitation will greatly enhance the quality of life of our residents, and also represents a new benchmark for accessibility in our Town as the newly installed playground is the first in the Town of North Hempstead which is fully accessible for children with disabilities to enjoy.”

“After many years of visioning, public participation, planning, and designing, we are excited that the renovation project at Fuschillo

Park has been completed,” said Councilmember Troiano. “Our goal throughout this process has been to transform Fuschillo Park into an exciting recreational destination for our residents –especially those in the Carle Place community. I am thrilled that residents are now able to experience the new Fuschillo Park.”

The recently completed renovation project at Charles J. Fuschillo Park included a new playground, a splash park, outdoor fitness equipment, a shaded picnic area, games, and more.

The grand opening celebration featured a ribbon cutting, live music provided by the “Yes We Can” Band, a DJ, lawn games, a hot dog stand, and ice cream truck.

Tune into the Town’s award-winning government access television station, North Hempstead TV (NHTV) to see the special celebration. Residents will be able to watch the program on channel 18 or 65 on Cablevision and channel 46 on Verizon FIOS, on the Town’s social media pages, or by visiting: www.mynhtv.com.

Updates From The Mayor Of Garden City

Local Feedback

A young resident came to the Board of Trustees meeting in May advocating for ice cream trucks in the Village. His excellent presentation, along with emails from residents supporting this idea, lead us to explore a pilot ice cream truck program. Allowing one ice cream truck to visit the five Village playgrounds between 1pm and 8pm, Monday through Friday during four weeks of the summer was supported by all trustees at the July Board Meeting. While I had hoped we could do this during four weeks in August, circumstances outside my control have delayed the implementation. I hope to propose this or a similar pilot program again next year for earlier in the summer to coincide with the Village’s wonderful park program.

Request a Water Test

Although the NYS lead (in drinking water) sampling program has ended, residents may still contact the Village if they suspect their plumbing contains lead material. This includes the service line which brings water into your home from the water main in the street. To request a lead test call 516-4654017 and leave a message or email gardencitysampling@h2m.com and a representative from H2M will contact you to deliver a water sampling kit.

The Village has waived all permit fees within the DPW and Building Departments related to water service line replacement until May 2024. Residents who have lead service lines are encouraged to take advantage of this and have their lead service lines replaced.

Public Hearing: Parking Field 7N Eligibility

The Board of Trustees will hold a public hearing on Thursday, August 17, 2023 at 7:30 p.m. to consider expanding eligibility for a parking permit in Field 7N to include residents of Hampshire House under the same terms and conditions as those of Hilton Hall residents. The designated spots are available to Hilton Hall permit holders 24 hours a day, seven days a week since a pilot program proved successful back in 2020.

Merillon Avenue Platform Work

Starting on Monday, July 31st, a limited number of 3rd Track Constructors (3TC) project personnel began performing platform work at Merillon Station. Work is taking place from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. 3TC expects this work to continue for the next several weeks and the MTA/3TC will keep the

Village informed as to the ultimate timeline for the work. While crews are working, the platform areas where they are will be closed to the public. Those living in the area can expect some disruption. Should residents have any questions, contact the LIRR Customer Service line, (718) 217- 5477 or visit https:// new.mta.info/contact-us.

Garden City Pool Hiring Attendants, Lifeguards

The Garden City Pool is hiring attendants and lifeguards for the end of the summer. College staff members are heading off to school soon so these positions need to be filled for the end of the Pool season. If interested contact Drew Berger, pool manager, at (516) 465-4074 for more information.
