Progress Toward Being A Climate Smart Community

BY JULIE PRISCO

T

jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

he Town of North Hempstead’s Climate Smart Community (CSC) Task Force is currently working on their application to be certified as a New York State Climate Smart Community.

On Tuesday, Jan. 11, the task force held a virtual meeting to discuss their plans and progress towards completing their application.

Meagan Fastuca, the Climate Smart Community Task Force Coordinator and Environmental Specialist for the town, led the CSC task force meeting. The meeting was held to provide “updates on [their] progress in Climate Smart Community actions,” said Fastuca.

Becoming a certified Climate Smart Community is a lengthy process, but there are great benefits to the community’s environment and economy. According to the Climate Start Community website, “the New York State program helps local governments take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to a changing climate.” The website detailed that the “program offers free technical assistance, grants and rebates for electric cars” to the certified Climate Smart Communities.

There are many requirements and projects to complete to become a Climate Smart Community, including registering and taking a pledge. The CSC program comprises over 100 actions for which a community can earn points towards being certified. North Hempstead’s CSC task force currently has 115 points out of 120 points needed to submit their application.

In addition to the point earning actions, there are mandatory and priority actions to complete before submitting the application. The town’s CSC task force has three priority actions to complete before submitting: a greenhouse gas inventory, a public engagement plan and a climate action plan, “which are all in the works,” said Fastuca.

The greenhouse gas inventory of North Hempstead is still in the process of having data entered. The task force has decided to use inventory on 2019 rather than 2020 because the energy use in 2019 is more reflective of the normal energy use pre-COVID-19.

Mindy Germain, a consultant with Eco-Leap who is working with the town on their climate action plan, explained the task force’s work on their public engagement plan. The plan consists of

public transit and active transit options, a significant piece to reducing greenhouse gases is in getting people to convert to electric cars.” The second and third areas of focus will be having their own events coming up in March and April to bring transit awareness and education to the community.

Additional information the task force touched on in the virtual meeting included their Inorganic Management Plan and recycling education. “The Inorganic Management Plan is one of the CSC actions,” said Fastuca. The task force “decided that [they] would focus the plan on education and outreach strategies for source reduction of food The Climate Stories Workshop will be held on Jan. 26 at 6:30 p.m. Register at waste and also feeding hungry people.” northhempsteadny.gov/climateaction (Contributed photo) Using social media platforms, the task force hope to provide info-graphsix different parts: a survey of residents’ Smart Communities Task Force. “The workshop will provide a brief introduc- ics and tips on how “consumers can concerns, a Climate Stories workshop, prevent food waste, which would intion to climate change.

Groups Criticize The IRC’s Failure To Approve A Single Set Of Maps

T

he League of Women Voters, Citizens Union, and Reinvent Albany have submitted a letter to the New York State Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC) criticizing the Commission for failing to approve a single set of redistricting maps for submission to the Legislature. The League previously

encouraged the Commission to release a single set of maps on Nov. 23 in a joint letter with Citizens Union, Reinvent Albany, Common Cause New York, and NYPIRG. “The intended purpose of the IRC was to create an alternative to having district maps drawn by an incumbent, partisan legislature,”

stated Laura Ladd Bierman, executive director of the League of Women Voters of New York State. “Thousands of New Yorkers have participated in the redistricting process, and they deserve a result that respects the State Constitutional amendment adopted by voters in 2014.

The failure of the Commission to

collaborate on and approve a single set of maps constitutes an abdication of the Commission’s responsibilities, confuses the redistricting process and places the interests of New York State voters in fair representation at risk.”

—Submitted by the League of Womens Voters of New York

Letter Sent To IRC Concerning Failure To Approve Maps Letter sent via email on Jan. 3, 2022.

Dear Commissioners, We are writing to express our disappointment with the results of today’s public meeting in which you cast five votes each along partisan lines for separate sets of Congressional and legislative maps. The failure of the Commission to collaboratively use the input from public comments and hearings across the state to develop a single set of maps constitutes an abdication of your responsibility as commissioners.

When New Yorkers voted to approve the Independent Redistricting

Commission in 2014, they did so with the hope and expectation that it would act independently of the incumbent legislature and curtail extreme partisan gerrymandering. Today’s failure of the commission to set aside partisanship and collaborate comes at the expense of New York State residents. This is not inevitable deadlock; it is a dereliction of duty.

Thousands of New Yorkers have participated in the 2021 redistricting process with the belief that their testimonies, comments and proposed maps would contribute to a united set of maps produced by an Independent Commission. New Yorkers were

counting on you in this first-time process to approve one set of maps to be sent to the legislature. Unfortunately, that did not happen.

The next stage of the process will be the legislature voting on implementing legislation for at least one of the submitted plans, without amendment.

If either house fails to approve the legislation or the Governor vetoes, then you will be asked to a submit a second set of plans. Only if that second plan fails to win approval is the legislature allowed to introduce amendments, which will need to comply with all constitutional standards including the ban on partisan gerrymandering put

in by the voters in 2014.

If it is necessary for you to submit an additional plan to the legislature, we hope you will act collaboratively in the best interest of all the voters of this state by submitting a single plan.

Sincerely, Laura Ladd Bierman, executive director, League of Women Voters of New York State Betsy Gotbaum, executive director, Citizens Union of the City of New York John Kaehny, executive director, Reinvent Albany —Submitted by the League of Women Voters of New York State

North Hempstead Highlights Local Green Businesses

ormer Supervisor Bosworth and the Town Board are proud to announce the expansion of the Town’s Small Business Spotlight initiative to highlight sustainable and green businesses in our community.

The spotlight will help connect

residents to a wide range of products and services throughout the town that are environmentally friendly.

The town will promote the series on the town’s website, social media and through other means, including North Hempstead TV (NHTV).

“Promoting small businesses and the shop local message has always been a priority for me and the Town of North Hempstead,” said Former Supervisor Bosworth. “We are pleased to be expanding our program to showcase environmentally friendly

establishments. Our goal is to engage residents in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change.”

Local businesses can now feature a green product, service, or practice that improves sustainability in their application. Categories include locally made goods, organic lawn care or pest control, thrifting, green housekeeping/cleaning services, renewable energy installations, businesses that have a sustainability plan for their operations and more.

The addition of sustainable businesses to the Small Business Spotlight supports the town’s effort to become a Climate Smart Community, which is a New York State Department of Conservation program that aids municipalities in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to a changing climate. This initiative to promote sustainable businesses within the town would fulfill an action of the program to hold a Buy Green/Buy Local Campaign.

The town encourages any green businesses to apply to the Small Business Spotlight program, where they will have their photo and business listing included as part of a directory on the Town’s website.

The program is open to all businesses in the Town of North Hempstead.

Businesses looking to participate in the Town’s Small Business Spotlight initiative can apply by visiting: www. northhempsteadny.gov/spotlight.

Troiano led the debate against DeSena’s assertion that her budget had been cut, saying more than once that her immediate staff budget of $811,000 and total department budget of $2.2 million were the same as what was voted on back in October. He also discounted her complaint that the communications and finance departments were no longer under her purview.

Troiano found it ironic that he and his Democratic colleague voted to pass the personnel and budget transfer resolutions that included DeSena’s staffers, while DeSena, saying that her people could wait two weeks for their first paychecks, voted against it.

Adding some balm to the proceedings as the meeting adjourned, Dalimonte, Troiano, Lurvey and Zuckerman welcomed the new members to the board, as well as new Clerk Ragini Srivastava and the new staff members.

New Leases At Port Washington’s Soundview Marketplace

YOUR LOCAL NEWS

Five Below and F45 to open new locations at Long Island shopping center

P

EBB Enterprises and Sagamore Hill Partners, owners of Soundview Marketplace in Long Island, New York, finalized new leases with specialty discount store Five Below and fitness retailer F45. The partnership has generated significant activity since acquiring the 188,109-square-foot shopping center in December 2020.

Five Below, the Philadelphia-based chain that sells an assortment of low-cost products, is leasing 10,000 square feet at the 10 Shore Rd. center in affluent Port Washington. F45, the popular high-intensity interval training fitness program, is occupying 3,202 square feet.

Built in 1962 and 1977, Soundview Marketplace is comprised of four buildings on nearly 11 acres. Notable tenants include Target, TJ Maxx, Walgreens, West Marine and Ace Hardware. The center is PEBB’s first property in the New York market.

Soundview Marketplace (Contributed photo) saw vast potential to add value given the center’s location and existing anchor tenants,” PEBB Enterprises President and CEO Ian Weiner said.

“Securing these leases with strong national brands like Five Below and F45 underscore Soundview’s appeal.”

PEBB and Sagamore are planning enhancements to the center with the goal of attracting additional top-tier shopping and dining operators.

“The transformation of Soundview Marketplace into the area’s premier retail and dining destination is in

full swing,” Sagamore Hill Partners Principal Mark Kaplan said. “We look forward to continued leasing momentum in the year ahead.”

RIPCO Real Estate is overseeing Soundview Marketplace leasing on behalf of the owners. Jason Sobel and Jeremy Isaacs of RIPCO represented the landlords in the Five Below and F45 leases, while the firm’s Tom Rettaliata and Jeff Howard represented Five Below.

Suozzi Calls For Hochul’s Use Of State Aircraft To Be Investigated

BY NATALIA VENTURA

O

n Jan. 13, Democratic governor candidate Congressman Tom Suozzi, held a virtual conference calling for the NYS Attorney General to investigate Governor Hochul’s misuse of taxpayer-funded state aircraft, which is in violation of State Ethics Law. “Actions speak louder than words.

The Governor has released her public schedule, only for her first 45 days in office. It turns out in the first 45 days, Governor Hochul used the taxpayer-funded state aircraft 45 times,” stated Suozzi.

Within those 45 days Hochul held 64 private events, while the number of COVID-19 cases increased.

Suozzi presented a 30-second video, a clip of Governor Hochul speaking when she first took office claiming to “focus on open, ethical governing that New Yorkers will trust.”

Roslyn Landmark Society Receives A Cemetery Restoration Grant

oslyn Landmark Society has been awarded a $10,000 grant from the Robert D. L. Gardiner Foundation to help restore the historic Townsend Cemetery in East Hills. The restoration is expected to begin in the spring.

Dating back to 1790, the cemetery was active for almost 104 years.

Throughout this period, it was known as the Willis Farm Cemetery, Greenvale Cemetery and now the Townsend Cemetery. The earliest internment was Timothy H. Townsend (Nov. 24, 1790) and the last burial was Ethalinda Jackson (Nov. 12, 1894.) A total of 33 internments were documented in the burying ground. In a 1912 survey by Josephine Frost, a total of 29 headstone inscriptions were compiled. Nine headstones and five footstones are currently visible on the ground.

Burying Ground Preservation Group, Inc. in collaboration with Steward Preservation Services have prepared a comprehensive plan for the restoration. The proposed multi-phased project plans to address the need to survey and record the cemetery, and to provide recommendations for its conservation treatment and restoration.

The restoration work will be a joint project with the Town of North Hempstead who is responsible for the management of the property.

“We’re committed to collaborating with local non-profit community groups such as Roslyn Landmark Society to raise funds and care for our town cemeteries and landmarks. Such partnerships provide the feedback and enhance the cooperation we need to get things done and do them right” Town of North Hempstead Historian Ross Lumpkin said.

Bill Stone, a descendant of the eight members of the Jackson family buried in the Townsend Cemetery, said of the grant, “Our family was delighted to receive news of the generous grant from the Gardiner Foundation for restoration of the Townsend Cemetery. We want to extend our gratitude and thanks to those who have participated in acquiring the grant and facilitating the work including former North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth; Councilman Peter Zuckerman, Historian Ross Lumpkin, the Town of North Hempstead Department of Highways, Howard Kroplick and the Roslyn Landmark Society. It is comforting to know that the final resting place of our ancestors is in good and caring hands.”

n the 1979 comedy film Monty Python’s Life of Brian, the main character finds himself being serenaded during a crucifixion scene by his fellow sufferers with the song “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.” Beyond being a seminal scene in this iconic film, it’s part of the philosophy entrepreneur/activist Atul Bhatara has embraced while refusing to succumb to numerous health obstacles. Bhatara was born four months premature and barely three pounds. Doctors were initially unsure if he was going to be able to talk, see or walk. The Queens native’s cerebral palsy diagnosis wouldn’t come until 14 months had passed. Four decades-plus later, the Hicksville resident beat the odds by enduring 14 operations, graduating from St. John’s University, helping his family open the World’s Fair Marina Restaurant and Banquet

The truth is, it’s not what happens to you. It’s what you do with it. I think coming out of this pandemic, people in their own selves have to get back to the basics. A spiritual center, believe in oneself, belief in a higher power—these things are going to be paramount because otherwise you have chaos.”

While Bhatara was born in Woodside, his parents sent him to New Delhi to live with family from the age of four to seven. Upon returning to the United States, he had to relearn English and was initially placed in special education classes. In this pre-Americans With Disabilities Act era, Bhatara’s outspoken nature and intelligence was recognized by a teacher who

of positivity in forthcoming documentary advocated he be mainstreamed.

Not only did Bhatara thrive, but he skipped a grade. This early validation and the positivity of his Hindu faith inspired him to continue striving even when dreams like attending St. John’s University and becoming a businessman were questioned. Bhatara’s knack for going with a positive pivot to get past obstacles served him well when COVID-19 shut his family’s banquet hall down. A chance conversation with a cousin in finance who shared contact information about a client’s private label cosmetics laboratory immediately reminded Bhatara of Ayurveda, an alternative medicine system whose principles he learned from his grandmother as a child while living in India. Atul Skincare became the end result and with it, a brand that is, “a platform for individuals of all shapes, colors, sizes and skin tones.” With the documentary nearing completion, Bhatara is looking to move in a

direction that will allow him to continue spreading this positive message, either through an eventual podcast or getting Brown to come out to Long Island, where the duo can address people of all ages.

“If I could have one thing come true, I’d like to get involved with the inclusion and diversity division of companies and help change the conversation of minority and disabled-owned business,” he said. “That should be a category of inclusion [companies] should look at. It’s so much bigger than race, color, gender and the rest of it. In my opinion, that’s a part of society, when it comes to economics, where people look to get them a program rather than get them an opportunity. At least, we should get a seat at the table. Look at what Magic Johnson did for the inner city areas in bringing companies like Starbucks to those communities.

Ella’s Boutique & AquaBrasil

fter a series of pandemic-related delays in 2020, Bruna Tembelis was able to open AquaBrasil Boutique in Glen Head, a brick-and-mortar store with the intent of selling her own line of artisan jewelry, as well as establishing a one-stop-shop featuring women and children’s clothing as well as gifts.

“From the beginning, everything happened really quickly,” Tembelis said. “It was my dream to have a physical store but had no time to make any changes.”

In 2021, Tembelis decided to go forward making changes with the alternative store name she conceptualized in the first place, Ella’s Boutique -- as a tribute to her two daughters, Maryella and Ariella. She was hesitant to change the name initially during the height of the pandemic, but then decided to move forward.

“When I felt I was more comfortable in the community, I decided to make the change,” Tembelis explained.

The new shop, Ella’s Boutique, carries numerous American-made products, including goods handcrafted

Online, Tembelis advertises the AquaBrasil brand separately from the brick-and-mortar Ella’s Boutique. She also still hosts pop-up shops at craft fairs and artisan markets locally.

With regard to the rebrand, Tembelis’ clientele has responded positively.

Tembelis has truly embraced the community as her family, as her blood family members live in Brazil as well as in Spain. She has even brought her older daughter, Maryella, into the business, as she works at Ella’s Boutique on Sundays.

“We’ve been in Glen Cove for five years,” Tembelis said. “It’s where I felt at home. My favorite part of the community is that everyone tries to help each other out. My clients became family and friends. We talk about our families. I love that

Catholic Schools Week 2022: Faith. Excellence. Service

S

ince 1974, National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week, which in 2022 is Jan. 30 through Feb. 5.

The theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2022 is “Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.” Schools typically observe the annual celebration week with Masses, open houses and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members.

Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to the church, the communities and the nation.

In the Diocese of Rockville Centre, Catholic schools are planning exciting weeks to celebrate the gift of Catholic schools. Consider visiting and supporting your local Catholic school.

Visit www.licatholicelementaryschools.org for more information on Catholic schools in the Diocese of Rockville Centre.

Morning Star Initiative Receives Gift To Revitalize Catholic Elementary Schools Michael Pascucci and his family have donated $1 million to Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation in support of the Long Island Catholic School revitalization effort known as the Morning Star Initiative (MSI), led by the Diocese of Rockville Centre’s Department of Education, the Marianist Brothers and Tomorrow’s Hope.

Launched in January 2020, MSI is a forward-looking plan to strengthen Long Island Catholic elementary schools by restoring a robustly Catholic culture, academic excellence and fiscally sustainable schools. Pascucci’s contribution will advance MSI’s mission by supporting long-term investments in tuition assistance, technology, academics, recruitment and enrollment and school leaders and teachers.

“We launched Morning Star with the aim of achieving a ‘new dawn’ for Catholic education on Long Island,” said Brother Tom Cleary, chief revitalization officer, Morning Star Initiative and president of Chaminade High School (Mineola). “Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of Michael Pascucci and other donors who have answered the call to support this effort, I am proud to say that this vision is now becoming a reality.”

Since MSI launched, the Catholic elementary schools have already seen strong results. Math and reading scores, for example, improved significantly during the 2020-2021 school year despite the challenge of distance learning.

Elementary school enrollment increased

will support this cause to help ensure our Catholic schools have a bright future.”

Born on Long Island, Pascucci attended St. Mary’s Elementary School in Manhasset. He later became the first member of his family to attend college when he enrolled at Bucknell University and went to earn an MBA from New York University’s School of Business. Soon after, he began his career as an entrepreneur and launched several successful business ventures, including Oxford Resources Corp., one of the nation’s largest automobile leasing and finance companies; WLNY television station; the private investment company, Duck Pond Associates; and the Sebonack Golf Club in Southampton, which he still owns today.

“The education I received in Catholic grade school gave me the foundation I needed to attend college and succeed in my career,” said Pascucci. “I strongly believe in supporting this effort for our Catholic schools so they can continue offering those same life-changing opportunities to future generations of children Michael Pascucci growing up on Long Island.”

St. Dominic Schools Offers The Programs To Inspire Kids To Higher Levels Of Thinking LIU Post Enrichment Program The Center for Gifted Youth was established at LIU Post in 1979 and brings together two important elements of education for the gifted: extraordinary teachers and university-level facilities. These two factors, combined with an administrative and psychological team schooled in the needs of gifted children, give the Long Island University program unique strengths in producing positive benefits for young people admitted to the program. Through our partnership, St. Dominic students that qualify will receive a discounted rate for the programs which include a wide range of alternatives from math and science to humanities and history.

Waterfront Center Partnership The Waterfront Center is a unique program located on Oyster Bay Harbor where our children come face-to-face with the local marine life and learn about our coastal environment. Whether classes are on the beach or in the classroom our students have the opportunity to learn about horseshoe crabs, stars of the sound, seashells and sea creatures, as well as other marine organisms found at the bottom of the Oyster Bay Wildlife Refuge.

STEM and PLTW Programs

As an indoor and outdoor After School Sports Program, our F.A.S.T. Athletics Program offers a fun after school experience for students of all ages. Seasonal sports are offered each week such as: soccer, gagaball, baseball, flag football, basketball, dodgeball, and kickball. Programs include warm up games as well as learning the basic skills of each sport. Each class will end with a high energy game with the sport played that day.

Our STEM program introduces students in grades K through 8 to a variety of digital skills, as well as an introduction to coding. An Introduction to Robotics program is planned for 2021. Students in grades 3 through 5 participate in Project Lead The Way (PLTW), which brings a transformative Learning Experience to students with engaging, hands-on classroom STEM lessons which empower students to develop in-demand knowledge and skills they need to thrive. St. Dominic’s is building pathways in computer science, engineering, and biomedical science that engage students in hands-on activities, projects and problems; empower them to solve real-world challenges; and inspire them to reimagine how they see themselves.

High School Level Classes Students in 8th grade are offered High School Regents courses in algebra and earth science, as well as the FLACS exam in Italian or Spanish. By completing these courses, many of students are able to begin high school with advanced courses in these subjects, opening up more opportunities for elective courses in high school.

St. Dominic Communications Club In our television studio, middle school students will be able to participate in a new Communications Club in 2021. The club will introduce students to multimedia production using video and audio equipment to produce broadcasts for the school community.

St. Francis Hospital Partnership St. Dominic Middle School students share an experience with St. Dominic High School students by participating in a unique program with St. Francis Hospital’s heart surgeons. St. Francis Surgeons bring a full dissection lab to our Dolan Science & Communications Building, during which students work side-by-side with world class surgeons to explore the biology of the human body.

he global pandemic identified the strengths and weaknesses of schools and school systems in a way that had been previously unimaginable. Only a handful of schools were prepared to immediately move to remote learning, and fewer still were able to execute a great remote program and then return their full complement of students back into safe classrooms in the fall.

All of Long Island’s Catholic elementary schools were among this exclusive group.

Now, almost a year from the onset of the pandemic, Catholic schools are celebrating Catholic Schools Week, the part of the school year where most families who were considering the advantage of a Catholic education get to visit and select which school is right for their children.

One-on-one virtual visits with the principal Your needs are unique, and some of the advantages of Catholic school are individualized attention and differentiated instruction to meet each child’s needs. You can schedule a one-onone meeting with the principal of the school you select and be confident that your child(ren) will thrive in the environment.

A CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK LIKE NONE BEFORE Because Long Island’s Catholic schools make the safety of their current students and families the first priority, most schools have moved away from the large group celebration of Catholic education that has defined previous open houses.

So how does a family looking for something better find a school this year?

This year Long Island’s Catholic elementary schools are supporting the interests of aspiring families through a combination of virtual and in-person visiting opportunities. www.licatholicelementaryschools.org website A visit to the central website for Long Island’s Catholic elementary schools provides general insight into the advantages of a Catholic education, identifies some of the key differences, and identifies how the schools are organized to serve students from nursery school through eighth grade. There are maps and descriptions showing the locations and summary information on each school, and information on how to register and the financial aid available to support you. You’ll find links to each school’s website and directions to locate each school.

School websites Catholic elementary schools have websites that offer exceptional insights into each school community. On the school website, you’ll read about the mission and vision of the school, ‘meet’ the principal through letters and regular

communications with parents, learn about how the school is organized to address the needs of early childhood, elementary and middle school students and learn about the various sports, clubs and extracurricular activities available.

Class pages describe the educational focus at various levels and communicate the assignments and day-to-day activities. The school website will also provide insight into how parents can participate and support their child’s education. Look for the ‘I’m New’ tab on the school’s website.

Virtual video tours Many schools have worked to facilitate your needs during the pandemic by putting together virtual video tours to give you a look inside their facilities, to allow you to meet some of their key staff members, and to give you a sense of the esprit-de-corps of their community.

Live virtual tours During Catholic Schools Week, many schools will stage live online events to give you a chance to both see the facility and learn the academic, social and spiritual advantages the school offers. These sessions, lasting approximately 45 minutes will allow you to meet the principal, key staff members, and often parents from each community. The school will post the schedule of these events and allow you to select the time that

Individual family or small group tours Some schools will offer visiting times when small group tours will be accommodated. These require an appointment. Tours will take place during scheduled windows when the school and the classrooms will be open, and when teachers and staff will be available to answer your questions. Often these are afternoons or weekends when the school is scheduled be deep cleaned prior to the students’ return. We place the continued safety and health of our current students and families above all else.

While the way prospective families will review and interact with the schools has changed, the Catholic school difference of addressing the ‘whole child’, academically, socially and spiritually remains. Visit the school’s web site to schedule to visit virtually or in-person to see why a Catholic elementary education will help your student succeed in high school, in college, and in life. A Catholic education is an advantage that lasts a lifetime. Plan to learn more about the advantages of a Catholic elementary education this Catholic Schools Week.

Hope That Grows With Tomorrow’s Hope Executive Director, Ismini Scouras

I

was a bit surprised by a statistic I read in The New York Times recently about how much Americans have saved since the start of the pandemic. While I was aware of the “COVID Savings Surge,” the $2.3 trillion more in savings that Americans have accumulated in the 19 months than would have been expected before the pandemic is astounding to me. According to JPMorgan Chase Institute, the median household’s checking account balance was 50 percent higher in July of this year than in 2019.

I was also recently struck by a reading according to the Gospel of Mark at Mass one Sunday last month about the “Widow’s Mite” and our Lord’s teaching about giving. If you may remember, Jesus was at the temple with his disciples watching people give large sums of money into the treasury. When a poor widow came along and put in two small copper coins, He taught the disciples that her gift held more value because her motivation to give came from the heart. It is here where we learn how the Son of God links the giving of money to what inspires us and how every gift you make to

Ismini Scouras a cause that means something to you has great significance no matter how much it is. Every gift counts!

And all donations to Tomorrow’s Hope have a direct impact on our mission to ensure the excellence

and continuance of our Long Island Catholic elementary schools with program and scholarship funding.

This academic year, Tomorrow’s Hope disbursed $2.45 million in tuition assistance, yet we received

requests for scholarship aid totaling more than $6 million. Yes, $6 million. These families are eager to provide their children with an education enriched with the traditions and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. Yet even with their personal sacrifices, tuition expenses coupled with rising inflation and other pandemic-induced losses have made it prohibitive for many families to provide their children with a Catholic school education. Thanks to our benefactors, Tomorrow’s Hope has given aid to nearly 1,200 students, helping families bridge the gap of what they can afford to pay for their children to attend Catholic school. But the need is still great…

If you are one of the millions of Americans who have accrued additional savings in your coffers this year, please consider making a year-end gift to Tomorrow’s Hope so that we can continue to provide the gift of a Catholic education to as many children as possible. As our Lord teaches us, every contribution, however big or small, powers and sustains our mission. Again, every gift counts.

School offers an innovative Catholic education designed to ensure that students flourish on every level. Our experienced, caring faculty knows how to bring out the best in every child, whether we’re encouraging shy writers to share their stories or guiding tech-savvy seventh graders to complete science assignments on Chromebooks.

With small classes, an emphasis on shared values, state-of-the-art technology, and exciting after-school activities, we integrate the values of the Catholic faith into the lives of our students while inspiring excitement in learning. Saint Mary’s is truly the education for a lifetime.

the outside, Saint Mary’s Elementary School is a well-kept suburban school with bright, airy classrooms and energetic children entering its doors.

Once inside, you’ll immediately feel the Saint Mary’s difference. Ours is a faith-filled school where friendly, dedicated teachers warmly nurture each child’s unique talents and build a strong educational foundation. We prepare students to achieve their

We do this by promoting an atmosphere of respect, tolerance, and generosity through Gospel lessons integrated throughout our curriculum.

AN INNOVATIVE CURRICULUM FOR INSPIRED LEARNING Our superior academic curriculum emphasizes core subjects and enriches your child’s life through special programs in art, technology, music, physical education, Spanish, and library science. With small classes and experienced teachers, we offer differentiated learning within all subjects as well as extra help for those who need it, encouraging children to flourish at every level.

TODAY’S TOP TECHNOLOGY Everyone at St. Mary’s, from our faculty to our youngest scholars, embraces the newest learning technologies with enthusiasm.

Each classroom is equipped with

an interactive whiteboard, a class set of Chromebooks, and there are two computer labs, one for younger students and the other for older students. Beginning with students in Kindergarten, technology is integrated through keyboarding, coding, and 3D printing design, where mathematical skills and creativity are applied to bring 2D drawings to life. There is also a science lab for Grades 6 through 8, and each student in the Middle School receives a Chromebook, which increases student interest in learning and ownership of the learning process. In addition, Middle School students have the opportunity to lead the School in prayer, pledge, announcements, and special programs communicated daily through a live stream to each classroom.

A VITAL COMMUNITY OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM What happens at a school after the last bell says a lot about that school’s community. At St. Mary’s Elementary School, our classrooms, halls, and gymnasium are filled with activity and enthusiasm as teachers, coaches, moderators, and students gather after school for athletics, extracurricular activities, and special offerings.

We utilize an interdisciplinary approach throughout our curriculum, which is enhanced through the use of current technology, hands-on learning, and interactive websites.

Our students participate in ageappropriate, skill-related experiences such as book discussions, exploring different perspectives through conversation, reenacting the Stations of the Cross, and participating in mission fundraisers and our blood drive, where they begin to develop skills in making connections, in critical thinking and analysis, and moral development.

MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL (GRADES 6-8) At the Middle School Level, we begin to place more focus on moral and ethical formation, instilling Catholic values in each student.

The curriculum is enriched across the content areas with topics that are connected to students’ moral development with an emphasis on developing responsibility, independence, integrity, and consideration for others. We assess students on their spiritual, social, and academic growth as they flourish throughout their years at St. Mary’s. Students develop skills in decision-making, problem-solving, critical analysis, communication, and cooperative learning.

Strong extracurricular programs and the integration of technology enhance the challenging academic curriculum for the Middle School. Parents and students can access the website and Parent Portal on a daily basis, and every Middle School student has the use of a Chromebook for the school year. In Middle School, we use technology to allow students the freedom to discover solutions to problems both independently and collaboratively. Our many extracurricular programs include Mock Trial, Performing Arts, Interscholastic Athletics, and service opportunities with local and global charity initiatives.

Each spring, students have the opportunity to work with theater professionals to prepare a musical.

The students either perform or learn backstage arts in stage crew, makeup, and production.

A strong academic foundation coupled with all the opportunities available at St. Mary’s ensures that our Middle School students are well prepared for continued success in their secondary education, as demonstrated in our partnership with St. Mary’s High School. Our Grade 8 students have the opportunity to take two Regents level courses, Living Environment and Algebra 1.

T

ens of millions of children in the world are experiencing an “educational catastrophe”. They are excluded from the scholastic community. The Global Compact on Education proposed by the Pope seeks to contribute to heal this profound wound. About 30 people are working toward this behind the scenes, following, directing, supervising and promoting scholastic and academic formation in Catholic institutions throughout the world. Cardinal Giuseppe Versaldi tells us about the mission of the Congregation

Cardinal Versaldi at his desk at the Congregation for Catholic Education. Vatican

for Catholic Education.

Education is one of the central themes of Pope Francis’ pontificate.

In October 2020, he relaunched the proposal of a Global Compact directed to all the educational entities in society responsible for the future of the younger generations. In what way has the Dicastery been involved in sustaining and implementing the campaign the Pope inspired?

From the beginning of his pontificate, following his previous pastoral style, Pope Francis has insisted on the necessity of investing everyone’s talents, above all those of the younger generations, to foster a new universal solidarity and a more welcoming society. With the launch of the Global Compact on Education, he renewed the invitation to forge an alliance toward a global convergence of education that knows how to unite every people, with all their components, so as to discover solutions to the problems created due to the ongoing epochal transformation, to initiate processes of transformation without fear and to look to the future with hope.

This invitation was directed to everyone: teachers, students, parents, society; every field and discipline; the various intellectual, scientific, artistic, athletic, political, economic, entrepreneurial expressions, in support of young people.

Entrusted with the task of accompanying the implementation of this project, the Congregation for Catholic Education, in addition to promoting a series of conventions and events to develop the various components of the educational pact (undertaken immediately after the Holy Father’s first message of 12

Archbishop Angelo Vincenzo Zani, Secretary of the Congregation for Catholic Education. Vatican September 2019), began to follow and gather the most significant experiences in place in Catholic schools and universities and in many other educational institutions in many countries throughout the world. Given the proliferation of initiatives and perspectives which will be constantly evolving in the next years, a Committee was created with the Pontifical Foundation Gravissimum educationis, LUMSA University (Rome) and the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart (Milan).

This allowed the preparation of a vademecum for educators and a volume containing guidelines for universities.

While the former, the objectives of the Global Compact indicated by the Pope are developed, the guidelines expand on five thematic areas in which the Compact can be applied to develop academic, scientific and cultural initiatives: human dignity and rights; fraternity and cooperation; technology and integral ecology; peace and citizenship; culture and religion.

Keeping in mind that the proposal of an educational compact aims at finding a global convergence in a “common home” for the Earth’s inhabitants, and an alliance that generates peace, justice, acceptance between all peoples and dialogue among religions, the Dicastery’s work is carried out in fruitful and productive collaboration with other entities in the Holy See. What types of formative institutions fall under the Congregation’s competence and what tasks are assigned to it at the level of organizing, directing and promoting their activity?

The Congregation has the task of

deepening, developing and promoting the fundamental principles of Catholic education, as proposed by the Magisterium of the Church, both regarding the People of God, as well as society at large. In this sense, it is committed to ensuring that the faithful can fulfill their obligations in this area, and that society at large might also recognize and protect their rights. In that context, constructive dialogue undertaken with national institutions and international organisms is significant.

In particular, the Congregation establishes guidelines for Catholic schools, many of which were founded by and are managed by religious Congregations. It assists Diocesan Bishops in their role of supervision over the quality of service these schools provide, the training of formators, religious education and the pastoral care of students. In addition to schools, the Dicastery follows Catholic universities and assists the Bishops in the formulation of norms for the application of the Constitution Ex corde Ecclesiae so that they might accompany these academic institutions in developing the various disciplines while taking into account Christian inspiration and in promoting various forms of pastoral care at the university level.

In response to an alarming and frighteningly persistent increase in antisemitic incidents in recent years Legislator Drucker co-introduced the resolution establishing the Special Legislative Task Force to Combat Antisemitism on June 22, 2021. It was adopted unanimously by the full Nassau County Legislature in August 2021.

“For millennia, the scourge of antisemitism has plagued societies around the world, and Nassau County is not exempt from its noxious presence,” Legislator Drucker said. “Like so many others, I have grown weary of lamenting the prevalence of antisemitism in our

Massapequa Cancer Survivor Spearheads Blood Donation Drive T

o help hospitals meet the pressing need for blood, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilwoman Laura Maier and cancer survivor Aliyah Petrone of Massapequa partnered to host a Blood Donation Drive. Thirty pints of blood were donated at this collection drive, potentially saving 90 lives since a single pint of blood can save up to three lives.

“The Town of Oyster Bay is home to many extraordinary residents and community role models, including Aliyah Petrone of Massapequa,” Saladino said. “Aliyah was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia at 18 years old and was treated successfully at Cohen Children’s Medical Center.

Now, as a cancer survivor, she advocates for children with cancer and has coordinated numerous successful blood drives in our town, thus directly saving lives.” The town supervisor added, “I’m incredibly proud of our partnership with Aliyah, especially as blood donations are needed now

more than ever to help local hospitals meet growing demand and continue life-saving operations.”

“Blood donations are extremely important to help secure necessary blood transfusions for patients,” Maier said. “During this pandemic, blood supplies have dwindled and are critically low, so this blood drive, one of the largest in our local area, was critical for our local hospitals. I thank Aliyah for her efforts in ensuring its success and for her many positive contributions to our community.”

To donate blood today, visit https:// donate.nybc.org/donor/schedules/zip for more information and to make an appointment.

Pioneer Aviators: First Flights And Adventures The pioneers of Long Island aviation were entrepreneurs and daredevils flying from the early airfields that dotted the island including Hempstead Plains, Brighton Beach, Morris Park Racetrack, Belmont Park and the Mineola Flying Field.

Pioneers armed with the guts to risk their lives flying fragile wooden skeletons held together by wire covered in fabric. These trailblazers’ broke bones but not their spirit. Their adventures built the ramp that catapulted Long Island into legendary status as the Cradle of Aviation.

Early aircraft that didn’t maintain flight didn’t fail.

They exposed weaknesses that were conquered. Take the earliest form of flight: balloons. In 1873, W.H Donaldson attempted a transatlantic flight taking off from Brooklyn.

Grounded by a ferocious storm over Connecticut after traveling only 60 miles, Donaldson brought powered flight to Long Island. Gliders soon entered the picture when a Lilenthal-type German glider flew from the North Shore Bluffs.

In 1896, from a houseboat on the Potomac River, The Langley Aerodome No.5 powered by single steam / gasoline engine made the first successful flight of any unpiloted, powered heavierthan-air flying machine. Two of the engineers on the project

were Charles Manly and Augustus Herring, both Freeport residents.

On Dec 17, 1903, at Kill Devil Hill near Kitty Hawk, the Wright Brothers piloted the first sustained, controlled powered flight. Previously, planes flew only straight with no maneuvering. The flight only lasted 12 seconds but changed aviation forever.

In October of 1909, Wilbur

Wright made the most daring flight to date on Long Island, flying his biplane round trip from Garden City to Manhattan.

In 1908, legendary engineer Glenn Curtiss developed an aircraft called The Red Wing.

Piloted by Thomas Scott Baldwin, it flew over Kenuka Lake in Hammondsport, NY. The event was tagged “the first public flight” by an airplane in the United States; a claim immediately disputed by the Wright Brothers.

Curtiss moved his operations to the natural prairie of Hempstead Plains on Long Island. The plains proved optimum for years to come with the benefits of long flat areas, an absence of trees or tall obstacles. Teaming up with Augustus Herring in July 1909, the 4 cylinder biplane No. 1 Golden Flyer made Long Island’s first successful recorded flight. In 1910, he flew from Albany to New York City in less than three hours, bringing in the age of domestic aviation.

In December 1909, the first American-designed and built monoplane was piloted by Dr. Henry Walden. By the end of 1909, the Aeronautic Society erected their first hangar on their airfield on Washington Avenue in Garden City. The hangar housed seven aircraft along with tents exhibiting their “flying machines.” Long Islanders packed the airfield thirsting to get their first views of human flight.

In 1910, the main stage belonged to The International Aviation meet held at Belmont Park running from October 22-31. The meet attracted the greatest aviators from all over the world exhibiting their flying machines. Crowds came to check out famous aviators compete in daily altitude contests, distance and speed runs along with cross-country races.

One of the most outstanding accomplishments was the flight of the Vin Fiz. William Randolph Hearst offered a challenge for any pilot to fly the first transcontinental

flight in 30 days with a prize of $50,000. Many of the elite aviators including Wright and Glenn Curtiss gave it some thought but said the technology was not yet ready for that type of flight. Enter Cal Rodgers.

Rodgers, a big, burly, cigar-chomping man made his name winning airshow contests. On Sept. 17, 1911, he set off from Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn. The flimsy plane clocked in at 50 mph with a 35 horsepower engine. Containing no cockpit, Rodgers sat in a single seat positioned on the lower wing. In addition, there was no instruments or gauges. Airports didn’t exist, so Roberts navigated by following railroad tracks across the states. The flight had numerous crashes, but he did have a train that followed him cross-country with a supply of parts. After making more than 70 stops and taking 49 days, Cal Rodgers landed at the designated airfield in Pasadena, CA. But he continued to Long Beach, where he pushed the plane onto the beach to make it a legitimate “coast to coast” trip. Long Island’s most famous flight took place 13 years later.

Charles Lindbergh enlisted in the Army in 1924, training as an Air Service Reserve pilot. After the war, Lindbergh worked as an airmail pilot and later a became a barnstormer, performing at fairs and other events. On May 20, 1927 in the heart of the “Golden Age of Aviation” Lindbergh and his monoplane, the Spirit of St. Louis took off from Roosevelt Field. He crossed the Atlantic landing at Le Bourguet Field near Paris. Lindbergh flew an amazing 3,600 miles taking 33.5 hours to become the first aviator to complete a solo transatlantic flight.

When Parents Have No Place To Turn Growing up, Timmy appeared to be a little bit different than other children his age.

He would cry often and have frequent temper tantrums. His parents brought him to see an early intervention therapist and his symptoms lessened for a few years. But in middle school, his frustration returned in the form of anger, both verbal and physical. Typical back talk turned into confrontations. Timmy would throw objects and began to attack his parents. They eventually reached their limit and started giving into his behaviors to stop the fighting.

Timmy’s parents felt alone and helpless. They didn’t know where to turn to get their child the care he so desperately needed until a school guidance counselor suggested they call North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center and ask about the Family Advocate Program.

Through this innovative program, parents who are overwhelmed trying to navigate the maze of services available

PARENTING PLUS Paul Danilack

for their child are paired with one of the Guidance Center’s Family Advocates. These credentialed professionals aren’t therapists; rather, they are parents of their own children with special needs and are trained to educate, teach, guide and empower other parents to better understand their children and their needs.

With an individualized, family-driven approach, the Guidance Center’s Family Advocates meet with the parents to learn about their child’s particular issues. Some chil-

dren have serious behavioral problems, acting out verbally or even physically. Some refuse to go to school. Some struggle with severe anxiety or depression. Many of the problems children are living with have been exacerbated by the stresses caused by the pandemic.

Family Advocates provide a wide range of information and support, attending evaluations with parents; going to CSE (Committee on Special Education) meetings; helping build skills within the family to manage difficult behaviors; finding residential placement when indicated; and seeking inpatient hospitalization if needed. In addition, while Family Advocates don’t provide therapy, they can help parents and their children access those services.

Family Advocates work with parents and the child’s therapist to help design a plan to modify their youngster’s negative behavior. For example, Family Advocates help parents create behavioral

charts to develop a uniform approach of rewards and consequences. These strategies help motivate children to listen more carefully and respond in appropriate ways. Moreover, Family Advocates can act as a bridge to many services, such as the school, individual counseling, case management and more, so everyone involved in the child’s life are on the same page when it comes to addressing his or her needs.

Families with children who have developmental disabilities often feel secluded and without support. The Guidance Center’s Family Advocates are well informed about New York State’s Office for People with Developmental Disabilities as well as the process to become eligible for those services, which include respite counselors, community habilitation workers and housing availabilities, among others.

Another important feature of the Family Advocate Program is a weekly support group (now mostly virtual, though in person once a month), where

parents share their challenges and successes, bouncing ideas off each other, talking about what worked and what didn’t, and building a social support network with others who are experiencing similar challenges. They learn that they are not alone, and they develop close, caring relationships with their parent peers.

In summary, Family Advocates work to empower each family with a personalized approach, with recommendations and assistance based on what’s best for each client.

They care deeply about every family as demonstrated by their compassion toward and knowledge of what can be a very difficult situation.

According to a new study by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the first month of the year is the worst for carbon monoxide poisoning. At least two people die each day from carbon-monoxide poisoning in January—three times the fatality rate recorded in August and July. Unintentional carbon monoxide exposure accounted for approximately 15,000 emergency room visits annually over the past decade, with an average of 439 people dying each year.

Fatalities were highest among men and senior citizens: Men because they are engaged in more high-risk behaviors such as working with fuel-burning tools or appliances and seniors because they are likely to mistake the symptoms of CO poisoning (headaches, nausea, dizziness or confusion) for the flu or fatigue.

It should come as no surprise that CO deaths are the highest in winter (December is the second highest month). Cold weather increases the use of gas-powered furnaces as well as the use of risky alternative heating and power sources (portable generators, charcoal briquettes, propane stoves or grills) during power outages. It’s also understandable that the highest CO death rates are

in colder states: Nebraska, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and North Dakota. By contrast, California has the lowest fatality rate.

With these sobering facts it’s a good time to remember the following safety tips to prevent CO poisoning: • Have your heating system, water heater and any other gas, oil or coal-burning appliance inspected and serviced by a qualified technician every year.

• Install battery-operated CO detectors on every level of your home.

• Don’t use a generator, charcoal grill, camp stove or other gasoline or charcoal-burning device inside the home, basement or garage or outside the home near a window.

• Don’t burn anything in an unvented stove or fireplace.

• Don’t let a vehicle idle inside a garage attached to a house, even if the garage door is left open.

• Don’t heat a house with a gas oven.

If a CO detector sounds, leave your home immediately and call 911 from outside. Seek prompt medical attention if you suspect CO poisoning and if you or someone in your household is feeling dizzy, light-headed or nauseated.

architects and engineers for use in projects around the world.

During World War ll he designed and manufactured lighting fixtures which were selected to be installed on U. S. War Ships. Anthony was a prominent and well recognized manufacturer and businessman, who was highly skilled in specially designed lighting for airports, art galleries museums, prisons, hospitals and many landmark buildings throughout the United States, Canada and Saudi Arabia of which he received many awards.

He enjoyed boating, traveling and was an avid swimmer and golfer. He was a member of NYAC and and the longest active member of Plandome Country Club since 1961. He has fond memories of playing golf at St. Andrews Links on several occasions well into his late 80’s with his son-inlaw and grandsons. As an avid reader he kept current with politics, sports and medicine well into his early 100’s.

He was parishioner of Saint Mary’s Church for over 70 years.

He had a wonderful long life and for that we are thankful. He will be truly missed by his loving family and friends.

There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed.

State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

Kindness Is King

Guggenheim Elementary School highlights the importance of kindness with Legacy Project

T

he Port Washington Union Free School District, its students and the community can be characterized in many ways. The district is patient, it is resilient and it is welcoming. But, above all, the Port Washington School District is kind. That kindness is worth memorializing and the fifth graders at Guggenheim Elementary School did just that. After a year-and-a-half delay due to COVID-19, the Guggenheim Home School Association convened with members of the elementary school to create a beautiful mural centered on the theme of kindness as part of the fifth-grade legacy project.

“Kindness is something we work to instill in our students in every grade level through the lessons and programs we facilitate here in the district,” said Dr. Michael Hynes, superintendent of schools. “This mural is a physical manifestation of that work and the consistent work being done by our staff, teachers and students every day

to make our community the kind, accepting place that it is. I would like to say thank you and extend my deep appreciation for the exceptional job done by the volunteers and staff members of Guggenheim Elementary School who are truly incredible role models for our students.”

At Guggenheim Elementary School, as with all schools in the district, the practice of intentional kindness is woven into the daily lessons imparted to students. The creation and mounting of the mural at the entrance of Guggenheim Elementary School will now serve as a daily reminder for students to treat themselves and those around them with kindness. The creation of this legacy project came as part of the school’s larger Kindness Initiative Project in tandem with Ben’s Bell Project, a national program that seeks to teach people and communities the positive impact of intentional kindness.

with quotes meant to inspire kindness in ourselves and others. Each piece was handcrafted by fifth-grade students, Guggenheim staff and community members to highlight the fact that when each of us does our part to be kind, something truly magnificent will grow.

“Although the fifth-graders who originally began this project have since moved up in their academic journey, it was important to see this project through to the end as it represents an integral component of the Guggenheim community and

that of Port Washington as a whole,” said Dr. Kimberly Licato, principal of Guggenheim Elementary School.

“Kindness is key in our school, and I am so inspired by the camaraderie, patience, and kindness displayed by our students and staff throughout this process.”

Strides In Science Three Schreiber High School students recognized as Regeneron semifinalists

The proof is in the science and three student-scientists from the Port Washington School District are making major strides and adding to the tradition of Port pride with their contributions to science. Congratulations to Schreiber High School students Jacqueline Atchley, Abraham Franchetti and Alexandra Vesselinov for being named Regeneron semi-finalists.

“I am continuously astounded, but never surprised, by the tremendous achievements of our Port Washington students,” said Dr. Michael Hynes, superintendent of schools.

“Congratulations Jacqueline, Abraham, Lexi on your wonderful accomplishments.

I personally, and speaking on behalf of our Board and the entire Port Washington School District family, am so proud of you!”

While Jacqueline may be busy creating award-winning science projects, she is still able to maintain an impressive roster of extracurricular activities. Jacqueline is a member of Science Olympiad, the co-founder of the student-led Disabilities Awareness Club and a Senior Girl Scout. Even while managing

all of her extracurricular passions, Jacqueline has been steadfast with her studies. Her hard work has afforded her an impressive 5.16 weighted GPA. Abraham has made an incredible impact in the world of science, along with his two peers Jacqueline and Alexandra. Abraham is an active member of the Port Washington School District community and is involved in several clubs. Those clubs and programs include being the president of student council, captain of debate team, web editor for Schreiber Times, the school’s student newspaper and he is a member of the varsity cross country and track teams. Even with all of his extracurricular pursuits, Abraham has been able to maintain an unbelievable 5.17 weighted GPA. Alexandra’s list of accomplishments doesn’t stop at being named a Regeneron semifinalist.

She also serves as a TA for the Biochemistry Literacy program, is co-president of Latin Club, vice president of Tri-M Music Honor Society, president/founder of the Student STEM Mentoring Group, a participant of the

Mannes School of Music pre-college program, violinist for the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra, volunteer tutor for Littig House, piano teacher and an AP physics tutor. Her weighted GPA is an impressive 5.09.

Jacqueline, Abraham and Alexandra are among 300 seniors honored nationally and internationally by the Washington, D.C.-based Society for Science, which runs the country’s oldest and most well-known science contest.

The scholars and their schools each will be awarded $2,000. On Jan. 20, 40 of the 300 will be selected as finalists and granted a trip to Washington, D.C., where they will compete March 10-16 for part of the $1.8 million in prize money. Only 49 students from across Long Island’s public and private high schools were selected as Regeneron semifinalists.

Port Boys’ Track Overcomes COVID-19

ast year, Schreiber’s sports teams were forced to adapt to changes in order to play. Each season was shortened, teams had to wear masks at all times and many teams lost some of their season due to quarantines. The athletes hoped it would be different this year, as COVID-19 numbers had been improving and the enforcement of masking regulations were loosened throughout the fall and early winter seasons until mid-December.

On Dec. 9, the team had their first meet of the season at St. Anthony’s indoor track. The boys had a great performance, with multiple runners hitting personal records. It appeared they would be set up for a great year, but a few days later, COVID-19 struck.

The following weekend, many of the boys began feeling symptoms of COVID-19. Positive tests started rolling in Friday night, which meant that these team members were incubating the virus at the previous meet. Most members weren’t all that concerned initially because they felt they were

being safe enough.

“All of us who tested positive were fully vaccinated, so at the time, when Omicron wasn’t really spreading yet, we didn’t expect to get COVID,” said senior runner Daniel Greilsheimer Out of the 25 team members 15 tested positive that week, effectively shutting the team down. The track team wasn’t the only sports team to deal with COVID-19 issues, as the Boys’ Basketball team also had nine positive cases out of 13 players and the school as a whole had approximately 100 cases in the ten days before winter break began on Dec. 22.

On Dec.12, the Boys Winter Track 4x800m relay team finished strong in their event with the fastest time in New York State for 2021. (Contributed photo) Athletes who tested positive had to quarantine and could not practice.

This, coupled with the holidays, led to extended pauses among those who tested positive. When the people who tested positive returned to play, it was clear how much of a setback the virus would be. Every team member was affected somehow, but those that tested positive were harmed the most.

“I know of others who struggled with chest tightness and shortness of breath upon return. Some people even stayed home longer than the 10-day quarantine because of their symptoms,” said Greilsheimer.

“The team definitely took a morale hit, but most people are back and hitting personal records,” said Franchetti.

The other significant impact of this outbreak is focused on safety. Some members feel less safe now than they did initially and are more inclined to follow the masking protocols. While the team was required to mask at indoor practices and meets, there was no strict enforcement.

“I definitely feel like mask-wearing

at meets, which include hundreds of people, could have been enforced more thoroughly. Most of the team, including myself, have started to wear [masks] outdoors again, like last season,” said Greilsheimer.

Despite all of this chaos, confidence and morale are high for the team again. Schreiber’s track program has been historically great over the past two years and the Boys’ Winter team is steadily improving with months to go in their season.

This season, the boys have top performers in many jumping and running events. Senior Devesh Mohan is third in Nassau County Class A in the triple jump, with a personal best of 39ft. Senior Charles Bosworth leads the county in the high jump, with a best of 5’10”. Senior Kevin Taylor is in the top five in the county in the 1000m, one-mile, and two-mile races, while Senior Colin Funk is first or second in each of these. Finally, the 4x400m team of Taylor, Asselta, and Seniors Terrence McGinty and Maxwell Meehan is second in Nassau County.

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any dire always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you h pleted the puzzle, there will be 18 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

By Holiday Mathis

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It is silly to wait until something is wrong to do the thing you enjoy. You don’t need excuses to take part in whatever you think is fun. Flexing your creativity doesn’t have to be an indulgence. Why not make something just because you want to? It could be the very best reason. Your work will produce satisfying results.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re observant because you have the energy for it.

You’re comfortable in your skin and therefore aren’t preoccupied with thoughts about yourself and how you’re coming across; this allows you to focus on the world. You’ll notice what others don’t, and you’ll turn these observations into opportunities.

Across the ditch Solution: 18 Letters

Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 18 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

Across the ditch Solution: 18 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s a week of daring questions. You could ask, “What are you really saying?” You could ask, “What world do you live in?” You could ask, “Why?” Of all the answers you get, it will be your own answer to these questions that’s the most interesting to unpack.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You would like to instantly provide what others need; however, even if it were possible, it wouldn’t be healthy. You are not a magic genie. It creates co-dependency to let others think of you this way. Serve your own interests up front; it will put you in a position to do more for others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re in the mood to spend! To prevent buyer’s remorse, be savvy to the tricks of marketing. Bulk discount buys and wording such as “limited supply” are suspect. Stay aware of what you really need. Many luxurious experiences can be had for a few cents -- a long hot shower, for instance -- and beauty rest is free!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The map is just a guideline. When it tells you something different from what you see on the ground, the ground wins. The truth is under your feet. Trust your senses, your judgment and your process. Your experience may not be the same as other people’s but it’s valid.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You want to get right with the balance of the world in all kinds of ways. You’ll tabulate your debts -- financial, psychic, emotional or karmic -- and review, assess and know the bottom line. Once you pay up, the part of your life that seemed whimsical will finally settle in and fall under your control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The people in your life are there because you want them there, not because you need them. Still, you’re thinking of taking things to the next level, going from someone’s “other” to someone’s “only.” Whether business or personal, exclusivity is a big step not to be rushed into. Think on it another week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The one who makes you feel like there’s something special and magical in your future is a person you should hang out with more often.

The end of conversation will be like a leap without a landing. Unfinished thoughts, beautifully incomplete, providing tension instead of closure... This is addictive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s said that penguins fall in love and even give each other gifts. Penguins have been observed searching an entire beach for the right pebble to bring a mate. You’ll feel a bit like the loyal bird this week as you try to please someone in a very specific and meaningful way. Your gesture will go straight to the heart.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS:

Little by little you’ll take on more challenges until you realize you can trust yourself in any situation. You’re quick, adaptable and ready to seize opportunity. The difficulties of the past have made you not only able but appreciative, so when the victory comes, you can really enjoy it. You’ll share what you know and earn wealth and respect.

You’ll devote yourself to projects with a level of conviction that is very attractive on you.

Before you know it, you’ll have an entire team behind you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re not going to come up with everything on your own because no one does. Furthermore, your associations will matter. Maybe name-dropping is a cheap move, but when you need more clout, it’s an effective one. Collaboration is the spirit of the week. Include others and enjoy what happens next.

Scintillating defense South dealer.

Neither side vulnerable.

NORTH ♠A ♥9 3 ♦A943 ♣ Q J 10 9 8 3 WEST EAST ♠ K J 10 9 7 2 ♠53 ♥ Q 10 4 ♥8 7 2 ♦65 ♦K872 ♣K 5 ♣7 6 4 2 SOUTH ♠Q864 ♥A K J 6 5 ♦ Q J 10 ♣A The bidding: South West North East 1♥ 1♠ 2♣ Pass 3 NT Opening lead — jack of spades.

A defender usually does not precisely know the combined assets he and his partner hold, while declarer can see exactly where his strengths and weaknesses lie.

To overcome this natural disadvantage, a defender should try to avail himself of every possible source of information. He always has the bidding to go on, as well as the plays already made by his partner and declarer. Often, he can draw crucial inferences from the clues that emerge.

Consider this deal where declarer won the jack-of-spades lead in dummy and finessed the jack of hearts. West won with the queen and then found the only return to defeat the contract.

Gauging the situation perfectly, West led the five of clubs! South won with the ace and, after cashing four heart tricks, finessed the queen of diamonds. East took the king and returned a spade, and West cashed two spades and a club to nip the contract by a trick.

Had West led any other card at trick three, South would have gotten home safe and sound. The club lead looks suicidal, and yet it was a very sound play.

West could not be certain of the location of the ace of clubs, but he calculated that the club return was safe regardless of who had it.

He reasoned that if East had the ace, the club play was surely right, since it would allow East to return a spade, while if South had the ace, it was bound to be singleton! West drew this inference from the fact that South surely would not have attacked hearts at the outset rather than clubs had he held the A-x of clubs. Declarer’s failure to try to establish dummy’s clubs strongly indicated that the suit was not of much use to him, and West took full advantage of that knowledge.

Calling It Like It Is

Good Sam’s Davi Santos talks about CBS’ new medical drama

BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

B

orn in Rio De Janeiro and raised in the outskirts of New York City in Astoria, Queens, actor Davi Santos has channeled his diversity into a burgeoning résumé. He’s appeared in numerous television shows including Tell Me A Story, Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders, Switched at Birth, Will & Grace, and more. Now you can see Santos as Dr. Joey Costa in CBS’ newest show Good Sam—a medical procedural drama in which he stars opposite Sophia Bush and Jason Isaacs.

The medical drama follows Dr. Sam Griffith (Bush), a gifted heart surgeon who excels in her new leadership role as chief of surgery after her renowned boss falls into a coma. When her boss wakes up months later demanding to resume his duties, Sam is tasked with supervising this egotistical expert who never acknowledged her stellar talent.

Complicating matters, the caustic and arrogant Dr. Rob “Griff” Griffith (Isaacs) also happens to be her father.

“Dr. Joey is a die-hard, no bullshit, calling it as it is type of person,” Santos said about his character. “The large part of Joey in the first half of the season is learning how to work with his friends and learning how to call them friends as opposed to rivals. He comes to terms with what really matters and it’s about his friends, his work and his love life.”

So what does Santos hope the show conveys in its messaging to viewers?

“Sometimes what we want can also hurt us and we have to learn balance and also face our obstacles and challenges with love,” Santos said. “Sophia, who plays Sam, is facing off against her dad and the most brutal moments happen when they lose sight that they’re family when they’re really just fighting for the job. Sometimes when we lose sight of the relationship or the human behind any of our interactions, it’s really easy to go into fight mode. I think the fun and the joy of the show is when these people go into their fight modes, but the other half is also when we see how devastating it becomes when we lose sight of the person behind it. Hopefully that’s the message that people can take [away].”

When it comes to working with Bush and his other cast mates, Santos said it’s intense camaraderie on set.

From left: Davi Santos as Dr. Joey Costa, Omar Maskati as Dr. Isan Shah, Skye Marshall as Dr. Lex Trulie and Sophia Bush as Dr. Sam Griffith (Photo by Ramona Diaconescu/CBS) “Sophia is someone who advocates loudly for the cast and the crew,” he said. “She also loves to get down and has a great time. We all agreed to take off our Sundays to have our own reading and to talk about the script on our own time. The mood on set is really positive.”

So how did Santos get involved in

show biz? According to Santos, it all started after his parents found him a performing arts school to attend.

“I was in an elementary school play and it was so much fun and my parents found a professional performing arts school in the city, which required an audition,” Santos recalled. “So I auditioned

and learned what a monologue was, and put one together in two days. Before I knew it I was surrounded by kids who were on Broadway and were in movies with Angelina Jolie.”

Good Sam is on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on CBS. Good Sam is also available on demand on Paramount+

Trading His Morpher For A Scalpel Davi Santos as Sir Ivan of Zandar

(Photo source: Screencap from YouTube)

Davi Santos cannot only be considered a hero in the operating room as Dr. Joey Costa, but he can also be considered an action hero. From 2015-16, Santos played Sir Ivan of Zandar—the 13th century knight and Gold Dino Charge Power Ranger on Power Rangers Dino Charge and Power Rangers Dino Supercharge on Nickelodeon.

He even has his own action figure to boot.

The two seasons followed the Rangers quest to track down and find 10 powerful and mysterious

Energems that dated back to the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Not only were the Rangers on a mission to get the Energems, but so was the evil bounty hunter Sledge and his intergalactic gang of misfits.

“There was this episode where we were enjoying ourselves at these big sand dunes surfing down on these boogie boards,” Santos said about his most memorable moment filming the show in Auckland, New Zealand. “We were rigged up on a cool open-air jeep and were driven up to the top and then back down. The cameras were on drones. It was the most fun day ever and it was bonding. I think that was the best memory of the show. Everything off camera too was such a joy to be around that city and town.”

Due to the show being filmed in New Zealand, a lot of locals on the island also had starring roles including actor Ryan Carter, who played the big bad duo Heckyl and Snide—an homage to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde—in the second season.

“Since he was local, I joined up with him and we went around the island,” Santos also recalled.

“Auckland is a theater town, so I was watching concerts and plays all the time. I was the only cast mate that extended his time [in New Zealand] when we finished to enjoy it more.”

If you want to watch Power Rangers Dino Charge and Dino Supercharge with your kids or grandkids, full episodes can be found on YouTube.
