7/11 Application Withdrawn From BZA

BY MARCO SCHADEN

ucha Realty has withdrawn an application for a 7/11 store at 260 Plandome Rd. Gordon Tepper, director of communications for the Town of North Hempstead, confirmed the withdrawn application from the town’s Board of Zoning and Appeals (BZA) and the applicant had not stated whether they will reapply or not.

The application got significant pushback from the community, most notably from the influential Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Associations (Greater Council). Town councilwoman Veronica Lurvey announcement to the Greater Council of the rescinded application was met with jubilation during their recent meeting over Zoom. However, members of the Greater Council also quickly noted they would like to remain in contact with Mucha Realty about the vacant space and find an adequate

Now defunct Pace Automotive has been used as parking lot for commuters. Mucha Realty, which owns the property at 260 Plandome Rd., recently withdrew their application to the town’s BZA. (Photo source: Google Maps) alternative.

An online petition opposing the application garnered 1,292 signatures. The petition, named “Protect Manhasset From 7-Eleven,” describes the increase of traffic on Plandome Road, the negative impact of quality of life and character on the downtown and an entrance and exit to Hillcrest

Avenue for reasons the BZA should deny the application.

Another concern of the community is the selling of tobacco and alcohol products, specifically to underage kids. Convenience stores, like 7-Eleven, have been suspected of knowingly selling alcohol to minors.

“It’s an additional outlet for alcohol

and tobacco,” Manhasset Community Coalition Against Substance Abuse (CASA) Executive Director Jennifer DeSena told the Manhasset Press in October. “If it’s open 24 hours a day, it’s going to be a constant source of alcohol and tobacco that the overall community doesn’t need. We’re trying very hard to reduce the use of alcohol, tobacco and vaping.”

260 Plandome Rd. is currently an abandoned storefront that used to be Pace Automotive. Its parking lot is currently leased out and usually used by commuters for the LIRR. The rundown building is not the only one on Plandome Road, a main street that has been ignored for several years now.

Mucha Realty did not respond to several requests for comment.

Sewering Manhasset Gets A Restart

BY MARCO SCHADEN

mschaden@antonmediagroup.com

The push for sewers in Manhasset is getting a reboot after being stalled by the ongoing health crisis. The Manhasset Chamber of Commerce held its annual meeting on Jan. 21 on Zoom where it brought together business owners, community leaders and politicians to discuss the Manhasset Sewer Feasibility Study and the next steps. “[The local businesses] are our social capital,” Chamber of Commerce member Rob Donno said. “The times that they are going through is very difficult and the uncertainty certainly brings stresses to them, to the extent that we reach out to them and try and help this business community is a major plus and both the chamber and the Greater Council have recognized that there are certain problems we can alleviate by putting sewers in Manhasset.”

Sewers in Manhasset has always been hot-buttoned issue, it was part of the reason some of the five Manhasset villages incorporated in the 20th Century in order for their neighborhood to stay sewer-less. However, the

sewer issue has come to a breaking point as more vacant storefronts on Plandome Road pop up, environmental concerns of Manhasset Bay and Long Island’s drinking water have pushed sewers as a potential solution.

Village of Flower Hill Mayor Brian Herrington has shown interest and Plandome Heights Mayor Ken Risica and Plandome Manor Mayor Barbara Donno were on the Zoom call, but this potential project does not concern their areas.

“It almost became a third rail of local politics,” Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Associations President Richard Bentley said. “You don’t bring up sewers in Manhasset because it’s going to make us look more like Great Neck Plaza. Well, I happened to have learned over these few decades of civic service, how well Great Neck does in protecting its own community. I can understand that nobody wants Plandome Road to have these high rise buildings. So at the very onset of this, one of the key factors that these engineers looked at was to be able to right size the pipeline that would prevent that type of high rise development, but satisfied the

needs of the community.”

The Great Neck Water Pollution Control District (GNWPCD) finalized their Manhasset Sewer Feasibility Study in January 2020 that could potentially cost $40,523,000 and at a minimum would cost $12,400,000.

The report covered two areas of study, a primary study area that includes the Plandome Road commercial portion north of Northern Boulevard to Vanderbilt Avenue and a secondary study area that includes the residential area west of Plandome Road from Colonial Parkway to the north and Shore Road to the south.

These areas currently use septic tanks or cesspools, as does most of the Manhasset area.

In the study, two alternatives are presented regarding the types of sewer and the costs associated it.

If gravity sewers are used for the primary study area, the cost would be $16,822,000 and for the secondary study area it would cost $23,701,000.

The second alternative would be to use low-pressure sewers in the study areas. Low-pressure sewers would cost $12,400,000 in the primary study area and $20,300,000 in the secondary

study area.

The cost of doing business in Manhasset without sewers is not cheap either. Louie’s Manhasset Restaurant on Plandome Road currently spends $1,103 a week to empty out their five cesspools.

“Cesspools have been very financially costly for us as a business,” Louie’s co-owner Peter Pagonis told the Manhasset Press last year. “The busier we get, the more money we have to payout for cesspools. It’s a real financial burden. It’s messy, it’s nasty and when they overflow, it’s disgusting. For us, it’s another silent partner we have involved in our business.”

Walking down Plandome Road, you can find many empty storefronts and sewers might prove to be the answer in bringing the business district back to life in Manhasset. The feasibility study states there are three major benefits to sewers in the area.

“Sewers in the commercial district will expand, reducing vacant store fronts and adding new businesses and increasing tax revenue to the economy of the area,” the feasibility study

see SEWERS on page 4

SEWERS from page 3 states about the economic benefits.

“Restaurants will be able to expand seating and new restaurants could relocate to the area. Sewers will also attract higher wastewater generators such as medical offices, salons and laundry operations. This would also eliminate the use of septic systems in businesses rear yards and alley ways thereby increasing space for parking.”

Ed King, a landlord on Plandome Road, spoke at the chamber meeting about the need for sewers.

“I really would like to see my tenants succeed,” King said. “When they can’t because of different factors, such as costs and expenses associated with septic removal, I feel for them and I’d like to see a change. I’ve seen a lot of opportunities to put very nice facilities in our town disappear because of the fact that we don’t have sewers and because of our building department, which is relying upon ability to get approval from various different sources.

It’s very hard to get a new business into Manhasset.”

Dead zones have been found in Manhasset Bay, caused by nitrogen and coliforms from fecal matter. According to the feasibility study, nitrogen discharged to Manhasset Bay will be reduced if the study area is sewered; improving local water quality.

“We’re in unison that this is something we need to advance,” Bentley said. “We can’t be tree huggers at the same time that we’re cesspool lovers.

Whatever you put in the ground today, 50 years later is going to wind up in your drinking water. We’ve got to protect Manhasset and all of Long Island for generations to come.”

Bentley and others pushing the sewers in Manhasset believe that the stigma of sewers in Manhasset can be alleviated if they educate their

“I want to make sure that we get the education out to all of our residents over a series of sessions like this to make sure that our message is clear to the residents that we’re not changing the face of Manhasset,” Bentley explained. “We’re changing the infrastructure of Manhasset to support the things that we want to see.”

Weigand Sworn In As Parks Commissioner Kenneth Weigand was sworn in as Manhasset Park District Commissioner by the Hon. Robert Morici on Monday, Jan. 11, for a third term of three years. Weigand joins Commissioners Mark Sauvigne and David Paterson as they continue to operate the parking lots for commuters, shoppers and merchants. Under the combined leadership of all three commissioners, the MPD continues to remain under the established tax cap, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. This year the commissioners will work diligently to maintain a lean budget as the effects from the pandemic have skewed revenues dramatically.

‘Just Right’ Books Help Students Fall In Love With Reading Students at Munsey Park Elementary School in Manhasset are falling in love with reading thanks to “just right” books.

Reading teacher Alyssa Alvarez came up with the idea to match students with their “just right” books, which are novels or stories targeted to a student’s specific interest.

In Alvarez’s reading room, students can find a bulletin board that says “Books are Magic” with a green background.

Once a student finishes a “just right” book they loved and are proud of, they take a photo in front of the board. Using the green backdrop, Alvarez is able to change the background of the photo to match the book and help bring it to life. The goal of the “just right” books is to get students excited about reading, while also celebrating them for finishing a new book.

Adventures’ teachers have been helping students and families every day without a break. Their tireless dedication has been praiseworthy.

They have virtually tutored students with their schoolwork on a one-to-one basis from 3 p.m. to 8 or 9 p.m. every day. With this academic support, most of the students have kept up to date with their studies. This assistance has also continued during school closings.

Temple Judea Observes Martin Luther King’s Birthday With Special Programs On a recent Friday evening, a special Zoom Shabbat service was held

by Temple Judea to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and to celebrate his life and teachings. The congregates were joined virtually by Pastor LaTanya Jimerson, of the Springs of Living Water Church, along with her family and members of their congregation. Rabbi Todd Chizner and Cantor Deborah Jacobson presented a moving and eloquent program to honor Dr. King’s memory.

To start the services, Cantor Jacobson led the congregants in a song which is traditionally sung during the evening Shabbat service, “Hinay mah tov”. The translation of the entire song, which is Psalm 133, is: “Behold how good and how pleasant for brethren to dwell together in unity.” This was especially fitting to

include this song as this was Dr. King’s lifelong dream.

When Pastor Jimerson spoke to the group, she also quoted from Psalm 133 which alluded to the relevance “for brethren to dwell together in unity.”

The words of this Psalm have particularly resonance in today’s world. The congregants of both groups were again reminded of their tradition of respect and appreciation of all peoples. It was no coincidence that Pastor Jimerson and Cantor Jacobson both brought the same psalm to the occasion of the

observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday.

Excerpts from Dr. King’s eloquent speeches were read at this occasion.

The virtual celebration continued on Sunday morning, this time with the Springs of Living Water Church as hosts to Temple Judea. Pastor Jimerson along with Rabbi Chizner and Cantor Jacobson again recalled Psalm 133 which echoed Dr King’s message of hope for solidarity of “brethren living together in unity.”

The choir of the church provided

heartfelt songs, and one of the congregants read excerpts from Dr King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, which is often called the most important influence on U.S. law on civil rights since Reconstruction. Songs performed by members of the church’s Praise and Worship choir lent a beautiful and soulful spirit to the service.

The weekend provided a moving tribute to Dr. King. Everyone felt the solemnity and sense of hope of the occasion. It was truly a privilege to be participants in this meaningful experience.

TOP STORIES AROUND LONG ISLAND

No Malarkey, Biden Takes Charge

BY FRANK RIZZO

T

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

he oldest man to ever occupy the Oval Office hit the ground running. Metaphorically, of course.

Fulfilling a dream that began four decades ago, Democrat Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.. 78, was sworn in as the 46th chief executive on one of the most unusual Inauguration Days in the nation’s history. It came exactly two weeks after an unprecedented insurrection at the Capitol that many saw as a direct attack on our democracy.

Wasting little time, the veteran pol spent much time during his first few days in the West Wing, signing a flurry of executive orders meant to reverse some of the decisions issued

by President Donald Trump. Biden also unveiled an ambitious agenda to eradicate the coronavirus pandemic, prop up the ravaged economy, fight climate change and restore a sense of civility to the political discourse.

Political Is Local

Decisions made by Biden and agreements reached with the Congress will have an impact on the daily lives of New Yorkers and Long Islanders in particular.

First is the president’s ambitious plan to use the Defense Production Act to increase vaccine output and inoculate 100 million Americans in the first 100 days. Governor Andrew Cuomo warned last week that the state was running out of vaccines.

Mass vaccinations will help open up the economy and restore normalcy to lives that have been upended by the pandemic lockdown.

It is known that Biden, and new Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-Brooklyn), want to restore the full state and local tax (SALT) deduction on federal taxes. Passed as part of Trump’s Tax Act of 2017, it limits SALT to $10,00 and hurts a large number of Long Island property owners.

The president’s $1.9 trillion COVID relief plan includes $350 billion in state and local government aid to partially restore the tax revenues affected by the lockdown.

Biden’s political philosophy has always included a large dose of bipartisanship and cooperation.

Rep. Andrew Garbarino, representing the 2nd District that straddles Nassau and Suffolk counties, and 16 of his House Republican freshmen colleagues sent a letter to Biden

“pledging to work together on behalf of the American people.”

“After two impeachments, lengthy inter-branch investigations, and, most recently, the horrific attack on our nation’s capital, it is clear that the partisan divide between Democrats and Republicans does not serve a single American,” they wrote. “Americans are tired of the partisan gridlock and simply want to see leaders from both sides of the aisle work on issues important to American families, workers, and businesses.”

The GOP freshmen identified bipartisan issues they could work on with the president, “including protecting Americans with pre-existing conditions, strengthening and modernizing infrastructure, and restoring the economy in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic.”

will also be remembered as a turning point. I hope it is the start of a new era in Washington where we finally put the politics of hate and division behind us.

I hope it is when we can begin to heal and come together once again.”

Rice continued to say that she’s confident that the Biden administration will do all it can to unify the country.

“They will lead with dignity and work to represent all Americans,” she said. “I look forward to working with their new administration to finally end this pandemic, rebuild our economy and deliver on our collective promises to the American people.”

In a statement, Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi of the 3rd District said, “President Joe Biden is exactly the person we need right now at this time in American history.

The country is divided and has been through a trauma. Joe Biden will bridge our divide and work to heal our nation.

Local Pols React He can and he will bring us together U.S. Representative Kathleen Rice, because he knows the politics, he who represents New York in its 4th knows the policy, and he knows the Congressional District, said that people.” the inauguration of Biden and Vice With the Democrats assuming control President Kamala Harris will be forever of the Senate, Schumer became the first remembered as a historic day. majority leader from New York State.

“Joe Biden has assumed office havIn a press release, the senator said ing won more votes than anyone ever elected President of the United States,” that the COVID rescue plan laid out she said in a statement. “And as the first by Biden “could deliver more than $50 billion in direct relief to the state in the female, Black, and Indian-American form of unemployment benefits, direct Vice President in American history, cash payments to struggling families, Kamala Harris has become a symbol critical dollars to keep small businessof hope and inspiration to so many es and nonprofits afloat, as well as across this country. But I hope today

vaccine dollars, transit relief, state and local funds and more.”

In his maiden speech as majority leader, Schumer pledged an activist agenda in working together with the new president.

“This Senate will address the challenges our country faces, head on and without delay. Not with timid solutions but with boldness and courage,” Schumer asserted. “This Senate will tackle the perils of the moment: a once-in-a-generation health and economic crisis. And it will strive to make progress on generations-long struggle for racial justice, economic justice, equality of opportunity and equality under the law. And make no mistake: this Senate will forcefully, relentlessly, and urgently address the greatest threat to this country and to our planet—climate change.”

He added, “This Senate will legislate.

It will be active, responsive, energetic, and bold.”

In a press conference on Jan. 22, Suozzi touted his vice-chairmanship of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, made up of 28 members from each party, as a vehicle for cooperation.

Replying to a question, Suozzi asserted that the Caucus will be a factor during the first 100 days of the Biden administration.

“We played a big role when we got the pandemic deal done,” he pointed out. “And that was really started with the Problem Solvers, which is now 28 Democrats and 28 Republicans. We laid a package in conjunction with the senators we’ve been working with. We proved it worked and people know it works. It helped us get over the finish line. There’s not always going to be enough leeway among Democrats to get things done, so we have to reach across party lines. And we should do that anyway.”

Suozzi added, “It’s not easy. It’s not a matter of ‘Can’t you guys sit down and work it out?’ That doesn’t happen because everybody is pandering to their base and worried about their primaries. And the commonsensical idea of talking to each other and working through problems is not easy to do, even more difficult in this environment of people voting for the objections [to the Electoral College outcome in different states]. But I’m committed to that and I’m going to keep on doing that.”

ineola High School celebrated its Class of 2021 on Friday, Jan. 15 with a Senior Day. The senior class came together as a whole for the first time since March to participate in an afternoon filled with games and activities.

“There are people that go into school on the opposite day as me that I haven’t seen in so long, so it was good to be able to get together,” senior Lucas Pomposelli said.

High school staff set up stations for students to rotate through including outdoor sports, ping pong, arts and crafts, karaoke, and a gaming space.

Seniors were the only class in the building, as 8th through 11th graders stayed home for remote instruction.

“Senior Day was an incredible opportunity to reunite our Class of 2021 for the first time since March,” Mineola High School Principal Dr. Whittney Smith said. “It was great to see our amazing students having fun, smiling, attending classes together and participating in an afternoon of fun activities that our amazing class advisors and faculty put together for them to enjoy.”

The team’s winning streak began six years ago on Jan. 13, 2015. The team entered the 2021 season as the two-time defending Nassau County Champions with 48 consecutive dual meet wins.

Commenting on what has helped the team achieve such an impressive number of consecutive wins, head coach Mike Cipollino said, “There is a real comradery on the team that has managed to pass from one generation to the next. The older swimmers encourage and motivate the younger swimmers, then the younger swimmers do the same for the next generation, and the cycle continues.”

January Business Person Of The Month: Gracie Donaldson

racie Donaldson has lived in Glen Head for most of her life.

After attending college at Salve Regina University in Rhode Island and spending five months as part of the Disney College Program and working as a seasonal cast member at Walt Disney World in Florida, she came back to Glen Head—to her family and to all of her beloved communities. At age 32, she manages three careers while living in her childhood home—and her boyfriend, Anthony Cipriano (also a North Shore Biz Network member), lives just minutes away in Glen Cove.

“My parents haven’t asked me to leave yet,” Donaldson said. “And while Anthony and I are looking to move in together and get married, I live at home for my family, but also because I want to stay in this area. Millennials are leaving by the carload and I want to be here.”

“Dad has taught me nearly everything I know about business,” Donaldson said. “I’ve watched his resourcefulness with customers, his intense work ethic, his salesmanship, his ability to acquire referrals at an impressive pace.”

With entrepreneurial blood, by night, Donaldson runs a freelance-based content creation and management business she calls “Jill of All Trades.” She creates content including full-length articles, blog posts, Gracie Donaldson, right, receives social media posts for Facebook, her Business of the Month Twitter and Instagram, email temcommemorative certificate from plates, graphics, flyers and videos.

I work with Canva, an online graphic design platform, on a near daily basis now. But I can look back at some of my early designs and see how far I’ve come while teaching myself to create designs.”

Donaldson maintains clients out of the immediate area.

“I have people who hire me for one project, I have people who hire me to create Facebook posts for them every single day and manage their account and I have people who call me every few weeks or months when they need me to create a graphic or write a few articles,” she explained.

Lidl Offers Extra Pay To Vaccinated Employees As states make COVID-19 vaccines more widely available, Lidl U.S. announced a new initiative to encourage its employees to get the vaccine. Lidl is providing $200 in extra pay to all of its U.S. employees, including those at its Plainview and East Meadow stores, who choose to receive the vaccine.

The additional payment will help offset the costs associated with vaccine administration, including travel costs and childcare. The company will also accommodate employee schedules for vaccine appointments.

This initiative builds on Lidl’s ongoing effort to protect the health of its employees. Last January, Lidl began to offer comprehensive medical coverage to all employees, regardless of the number of hours they work per week. In March, Lidl developed a first-in-the-industry program with CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield to give all its employees access to COVID-19 medical coverage at no cost.

“We are proud to provide our employees the resources they need to receive the COVID-19 vaccine free of

any obstacles,” said Johannes Fieber, CEO of Lidl U.S. “From the outset of the pandemic, we have worked hard to put the health and safety of our employees first. From offering free COVID-19 healthcare to our entire workforce, to installing hospital-grade air filtration in our stores and warehouses to assure cleaner and healthier air, Lidl has made it a priority to adapt our policies to work better for our people during this store is located at 1980 Hempstead pandemic.”

The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is accepting public comments about the draft work plan for at the Commander Oil Terminal (1 Commander Square, Oyster Bay,) through Feb. 12. This draft work will investigate contamination at this site (site number C130244) as part of New York’s Brownfield Cleanup Program.

The investigation will be performed

by Commander Terminal Holdings LLC (“applicant”) with oversight by NYSDEC and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH).

The 3.17-acre site is bordered on the west by Bay Avenue, on the south by White’s Creek, on the east

by Oyster Bay Harbor and on the north by a commercial property. The site is currently a major oil storage facility (MOSF) operated by Global

Commander Oyster Bay. It is currently developed with an office building, a garage building, 21 large-capacity above-ground storage tanks (combined totaling more than 400,000 gallon capacity), and a fueling rack.

Previous land uses for site included a saw mill, residential housing, a coal yard and an ice plant. Site redevelopment includes MOSF closure and planned mixed use development including commercial and residential.

Project documents are on repository at the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Public Library (89 E. Main St., Oyster Bay) and at Town of Oyster Bay Department of Environmental Resources (29 Spring St., Oyster Bay) for public viewing.

Top Questions About Geriatric Mental Health Answered

BY GREGG BALBERA

Specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

A

s families help older loved ones manage physical health conditions, they shouldn’t overlook mental health changes. Depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders are quite common among the older population.

The National Council on Aging (NCOA) reports that one-in-four older adults will experience a mental disorder.

Here are questions families often ask:

Q A

Are changes in my loved one’s personality and behavior just a normal part of aging?

Health problems, the loss of a spouse, disability and even one’s changing role after retirement can lead to personality changes. But it’s important to discern between normal changes of aging and mental health disorders. The NCOA reports that left untreated, these disorders can lead to fatigue, illness and even suicide.

Q

What are the signs that my loved one might have a mental health condition that should be addressed?

The changes can be gradual and subtle. A consultation with their doctor would be wise if your loved one is: • Sleeping much more or much less than usual.

• Feeling unusually confused, on edge, worried or afraid.

• Exhibiting low or no energy.

• Eating much more or less than usual.

• Experiencing prolonged grief that does not subside.

• Losing interest in things they once enjoyed.

• Feeling helpless or hopeless.

• Smoking, drinking or using drugs more than usual.

• Expressing thoughts of suicide.

A

Q A

How are my loved one’s physical health and mental health problems related?

Life-changing conditions such as hearing and vision loss or stroke can lead to depression and anxiety. Sometimes the relationship is what mental health specialists call “bidirectional cause and effect.” A

health condition such as heart disease, stroke, memory loss or diabetes can raise the risk of mental health problems. Mental health conditions affect not only the brain but also the whole body, and can hasten memory loss, raise blood pressure and cholesterol and worsen digestive disorders, diabetes and heart disease.

Side effects of medications also may play a role.

Q A

Can these mental health disorders be treated?

Yes. Your loved one’s doctor might recommend cognitive behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, interventions for substance misuse or other negative habits and instruction about lifestyle changes that promote positive mental health. Geriatric mental health professionals also may prescribe medications, taking into account a patient’s ability to manage medications, the other medications they take and how their age affects the way their body processes substances.

Q A

What if a loved one resists seeking help?

Even older adults who are conscientious about healthcare might avoid seeking treatment for depression and anxiety. Fearing stigma, they might try to ‘go it alone,’ thinking that seeking help is a sign of weakness. Reassure your loved one that, on the contrary, it’s a sign of strength to take charge in this way.

Substance misuse, gambling or other behavioral health problems may be especially hard to discuss.

Q A

If my loved one talks of suicide, what should I do?

Never discount statements such as “Everyone would be better off without me” or “Life’s not worth living.” Other warning signs include buying a firearm, stockpiling pills and giving away possessions. The American Psychological Association reports, older adults have the highest rates of suicide of any age group in the U.S., and depression is its foremost risk factor. Any family member who believes their loved one is in crisis to contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-8255) to talk to a trained counselor, day or night.

Q A

As a family caregiver, should I worry about my own mental health?

While it is a labor of love, serving as a family caregiver for an ill loved one or a loved one with disabilities can be very stressful and can raise the caregiver’s own risk of mental health problems—so much so that experts consider caregiving a risk factor for depression and anxiety. If you are a family caregiver and you’re feeling symptoms of distress, discuss your situation with your healthcare provider and your family.

The role of professional in-home care Professional in-home caregivers support the health of older clients— and that includes mental health. Here

are ways they can help: Coordinating care Most senior patients see a number of healthcare providers and they often have a complicated care routine to follow. Professional in-home caregivers help keep track of appointments, accompany clients to the doctor and pharmacy and provide health reminders.

A home environment that’s conducive to good mental health Professional caregivers help clients with bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation and housekeeping.

They provide companionship that wards off social isolation and loneliness and mental stimulation that lifts the spirits.

Partnering with family Family caregiver distress is greatly reduced when a family partners with professional caregivers. In-home caregivers keep the family up to date about their loved one’s condition, even when the family lives at a distance—a situation that can be very distressing as a senior’s needs change.

The resulting peace of mind allows the family to focus on their jobs, their other responsibilities and their own health.

hen it comes to a senior discount, you don’t actually have to be a “senior” to qualify for one. In fact, the biggest misconception with the word “senior” in senior discount is that you have to be above the age of 65 to make a purchase for less money.

However, signing up for an AARP membership for just $16 a year, starting at the age of 50, can put you in the mix for a senior discount too.

Restaurants, department stores, transportation companies, movie theaters don’t always have to be paid for in full. Asking for your senior discount at any of the places listed below can

save you thousands of dollars a year.

• Applebee’s (15 percent off with Golden Apple Card, 60+) • Arby’s (10 percent off, 60+) • Boston Market (10 percent off, 65+) • Burger King (10 percent off, 60+) • Friendly’s (senior menu offered with discounted prices, 60+) • IHOP (10 percent off, 55+) • Subway (10 percent off, 60+) • Wendy’s (10 percent off, 55+) *not all restaurants participate • White Castle (10 percent off, 62+) Are you in the mood for a quick snack?

• Dunkin’ Donuts (discount varies, 55+) *not all restaurants participate • TCBY (10 percent off, 55+) Not only do restaurants offer senior discounts, but large companies do the exact same. Remember to ask for the senior discount when purchasing items at these popular stores.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

NASSAU IDA SHOULD REJECT TAX BREAKS FOR AMAZON WAREHOUSE PLAN Amazon’s proposal to build a last-mile delivery warehouse in Syosset has generated much concern from residents.

Although there are quality-of-life concerns associated with this project, such as noise and traffic, I must acknowledge their preliminary efforts to mitigate community impacts in ways previous applicants have not.

However, I cannot at this time support their application to receive Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) from the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency for this project—tax breaks for a trillion-dollar corporation that would ultimately be funded by Nassau taxpayers amidst an economic downturn and the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a lifelong resident of this community, I have witnessed firsthand that Syosset Park lots 251 and 252 (305 Robbins Ln., Syosset) have remained blighted and vacant for decades. To be clear, I fully support the redevelopment of this site. Accordingly,

I expect that any plans to develop the site must include a comprehensive environmental analysis and appropriate plan for remediating threats to land, water, and air quality. The health and safety of our residents remains my top priority and must remain the top priority of all who possess the authority to render such decisions affecting the future of this site.

However, as a Nassau County legislator, it is also my fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interests of the residents who have placed their confidence in me. Granting a tax break to a company that reported an income of $11.59 billion in 2019 and whose CEO and founder, Jeff Bezos, has been identified in published reports as one of the world’s wealthiest people, with a net worth of $182 billion, is simply unfathomable. To do so while hardworking Nassau County residents and small business owners struggle to pay property taxes, sales taxes, and

mortgages amid an economically devastating pandemic is unconscionable.

Perhaps more startling is the impact of Amazon facilities on local wages. As reported by Bloomberg, “where Amazon sets up shop, warehouses wages tend to fall. In 68 counties where Amazon has opened one of its largest facilities, average industry compensation slips by more than 6 percent during the facility’s first two years, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics” and wages take five years to recover to pre-Amazon levels. This trend will have harmful, long-term consequences for Nassau County families because it will make it implausible for Amazon’s Syosset employees to become Nassau County homeowners, driving property tax revenues elsewhere.

Furthermore, New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli recently announced that the NYS Common Retirement

Fund is seeking an independent audit to review and examine the impact of these and other company practices upon civil rights, equity, and inclusion.

Concerns regarding COVID-19 protocols and allegations of discrimination abound at many Amazon facilities.

There is no question that development is a critical component of much-needed growth and is vital to stimulating our local economy. However, we must be discerning in its use of taxpayer dollars when seeking to cultivate development, and I do not believe Amazon’s application to build a warehouse in our community rises to the level of deserving financial incentives funded by Nassau County taxpayers.

Because President Trump told his law-breaking Capitol riot “squad” to “Remember this day forever,” they surely will— since they seem to view him as some sort of a (vengeful) “God.” And peace-loving Americans will also add it to the other “dates that will live in infamy : December 7, 1941; November 22, 1963; and September 11, 2001. I would include the 1,000plus days between his inauguration and final day in office.

January 6, 2021 will forever remain a disgraceful day in which two of Trump’s most infamous quotes virtually morphed

into “Grab ‘em by the Capitol; they let you do it,” and “I could ‘shoot’ the Electoral College in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue and not lose any voters.”

Tragically, another of his despicable quotes (about some African countries) also seemed relevant, as his mindless MAGA followers did their best (worst) to turn our Capitol into a “s--hole” Capitol.

Thankfully, our congressmen and congresswomen, including some Republicans, turned it back into a “Shining city on a hill.”

Making The Case For An Elected Assessor Newsday recently reported that taxes will rise for 65 percent of Nassau’s homeowners as a result of the county executive’s reassessment. After the mistakes and errors that have plagued reassessment, the public lacks confidence in the reassessment process and thousands of frustrated residents are unable to understand how their assessed values are calculated.

Earlier this month, the administration put forward a resolution to appoint a county official who lacks assessing experience and credentials to serve as assessor. In 2019, County Executive Laura Curran vetoed our local law that would have given Nassau voters the chance to decide whether to have an elected or appointed assessor.

The county executive’s sole reason for opposing the law was that an elected assessor would not have industry recognized qualifications and certifications. Now, the county executive seeks to appoint an

MAJORITY REPORT Richard J. Nicolello

elected county assessor. New legislation has been submitted to place a referendum on the ballot in November 2021 to give the public the right to decide if Nassau will have an elected county assessor.

The bill filed earlier this month will be considered in the Legislature in February, and, if passed submitted to the county executive for her signature.

Until 2008, Nassau County

had an elected assessor. Since then, the county assessor has been an appointed political position made by the county executive with the approval of the county legislature. These appointed assessors have not been responsive to the public.

Under County Executive Curran, the county assessor has routinely evaded the legislature’s and the public’s questions and concerns about reassessment and has

been forced to admit to many missteps in the process.

We once again call on the county executive to let the voters decide who they want as their county assessor. Our taxpayers deserve greater transparency and a more reliable assessment system.

Nassau residents deserve a choice.

Richard J. Nicolello is the Presiding Officer of the Nassau County Legislature.

and the nation in anguish over his supporters’ attempt to overthrow our democracy.

How did it happen? It happened because truth, words and character do not matter.

We choose to live in tribes, prisoners of our own ideology.

We do not listen attentively or respectfully to others’ opinions.

We do not talk civilly to one another. We do not investigate facts. The facts we do not like we call “fake news.” We take truth from opinion makers who reinforce our beliefs and our biases. We do not discern.

We elected a flawed man who does not tell the truth or cares about the harm his words cause. Jan. 6 may have been a shock, but it was not a surprise.

This insurrection proves that words, character and truth do matter. But above all is truth.

A good leader tells the truth despite the political consequences. There is hope. There are senators and congressmembers on both sides of the aisle who have come to this conclusion. May God bless us with more good leaders.

New Year, New Scammer Tactics

W

ith a new year comes new tactics as scammers continue trying to extract money from PSEG Long Island customers by impersonating employees on the phone and in person. PSEG Long Island urges customers to be alert for the telltale signs of a scam.

PSEG Long Island reports that scammers contacted more than 500 customers between Dec. 20, 2020 and Jan. 2, 2021, falsely alleging overdue balances and threatening to shut off power without immediate payment.

SIGNS OF POTENTIAL SCAM ACTIVITY:

Spacious Beauty In Roslyn This expanded Buttonwood model at Acorn Ponds (36 Fox Ridge) in Roslyn sold on Jan. 14 for $622,500.

This two bedroom condominium gets great southern exposure. It has two and a half bathrooms, a spacious great room with a wood burning fireplace.

It has a formal dining room, an eat-inkitchen and a powder room on the first floor. Newly refinished hardwood floors lead upstairs to a large master bedroom and a walk-in closet.

There is also an additional bedroom and a full bath on the second floor.

Community amenities include tennis courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a clubhouse and a gym.

The complex, zoned for the Herricks School District, is located near the parkways and there is a free village bus that runs service to the LIRR Manhasset station.

• Threat to disconnect Scammers may aggressively tell the customer their utility bill is past due and service will be disconnected if a payment is not made—usually within an hour.

• Request for immediate payment Scammers may instruct the customer to purchase a prepaid card, a gift card or even Bitcoin, and then to call them back—supposedly to make a phone payment to the utility company.

• In person-demands Scammers may arrive at a home or business, flash a fake ID and/or claim to be a utility collection representative.

The impostors may wear “uniforms” or affix false company signs to their vehicles.

• Request for card information If a customer calls back with requested information, the caller asks the customer for the prepaid card’s number or gift-card PIN, which grants the scammer instant access to the card’s funds.

If a customer has doubts about the legitimacy of a call or an email—especially one in which payment is requested— call PSEG Long Island directly at 800-490-0025.

Saladino Illuminates Town Hall For Human Trafficking Awareness Month

O

yster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and members of the Town Board partnered with The Safe Center LI to illuminate Town Hall in the color blue in recognition of Human Trafficking Awareness Month. January provides Americans an opportunity to raise public awareness of the trafficking and commercial exploitation of youth. The Safe Center LI, which is located in Bethpage, provides a fast and easy path to resources that assist in saving and changing the lives of the victims of domestic or dating abuse, child abuse, and rape and sexual assault.

“The town is proud to partner with The Safe Center for this important initiative, and we are dedicated to addressing the needs of children at-risk of or victims of human trafficking and commercial exploitation,” Saladino said.

Each year, it’s estimated that more than 100,000 children in the U.S. are at risk of being trafficked for commercial sex. While youth in any community can become a victim of trafficking and exploitation, certain youth are at greater risk. Youth at-risk often have unstable family situations and have little or no social supports. Runway and homeless youth, children involved

with child protective services and foster care, as well as Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) youth are also at increased risk for exploitation and trafficking.

At The Safe Center, counselors, who are trained in the dynamics of domestic violence, rape, and sexual assault and crisis intervention, respond 24 hours a day to the needs of victims.

The number is 516-542-0404. The Safe Center’s services are available for all persons.

The distance to this desired destination cannot be closed any other way.

Remove obstacles and reduce the potential for distractions that threaten could threaten your focus. An environment that supports your practice will be crucial to the success of the journey.

Because of the novelty factor, the endeavor will receive attention regardless of whether or not it’s a success. More importantly, you will get the rush of excitement that comes with trying something new.

© 2021 Australian Word Games Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your intent is to be of service, though this week shows you unsure of the best way to go about it. You could tidy things up, and that’s a starting place, but if there are others capable and willing to do that, then you might consider that you have something different to offer, something that could only be done by you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A week of reminiscence. Either present good times remind you of past fun or a lacking present makes you nostalgic for better days. Either way, this is a story about yesterday. What’s today’s story?

Would you benefit from investing creative energy into spinning either of these stories differently?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What’s useful and appropriate is not always what’s best. Sometimes the pointless thing is better, especially if it’s fun.

Anything that connects people in the moment is going to be an improvement, even if it has not tangible result that serves the bottom line of the one in charge. Let love be in charge and see what happens.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). For the most part, social bonds form automatically and without conscious thought, but if you were to break it down, your life is made better because you know, like and trust a person.

The more a person seems to enhance your experience, the more significant the relationship will become to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). We don’t all enjoy the same things, and that’s definitely a theme now. Are you willing to indulge in what makes you happy even when you may be the only one around who will be pleased? If it harms no one, what’s the problem? Bottom line: Your enjoyment will count as much as you make it count.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re reticent to devote yourself to a thing unless you feel you can give it something nobody else could. Assume that’s true. There’s no telling what your twist will be. Maybe it’s just the residual gold dust of your special unnamable X-factor. You won’t know until you get in there and figure it out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The conventional thinking: Set a goal you can climb toward. It’s not the only way to go. Many beautiful spots are at lower elevations. For whatever reason, you missed them on the way up, but now you could relax into them with effortless navigation. Just tilt yourself toward the lovely destination and roll.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). These people, where they stand, what they hold, how they move... to the naive eye, the details of interaction are disparate elements of an ordinary scene. Not to you. All you witness is alive with narrative and motive. Your curious mind will rush to fill in blanks and leap to figure out what’s next.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ll recognize your feelings for what they are -- a power source, fuel for your dreams, energy for your endeavors and the reason behind many of your designs.

Feelings can also be uncomfortable -- a lot to sort, figure out, use and contain. This year, you’ll come up with ingenious habits and systems that help you manage the potential of the precious treasure that is your enormous passion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s not that you want to feel younger, older or anything else that you’re not. You just want to feel more alive and aware -- like your blood is quick and your thoughts are bright. Being around a certain person brings that extra surge of vitality to your world, and you’ll find yourself prioritizing the relationship because of this.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). One way to get people interested in a thing is to let them know there’s not a lot, and it’s going fast. Scarcity, desire and urgency go together. So does love and loss. “The one that got away” is often, soon after the escape, considered “the best one ever.” To get what you want, work with principles of human nature.

Locust Valley Man Sentenced For Fatal Ambulette Crash Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas announced that a Locust Valley man was recently sentenced to six to 12 years in prison for driving drunk and crashing into an ambulette in 2019, killing the patient inside.

Twenty-nine-year-old Alvaro Gutierrez-Garcia pleaded guilty

on Nov. 4 to aggravated vehicular homicide, second-degree assault and aggravated driving while intoxicated. Judge Robert McDonald sentenced the defendant to six to 12 years in prison.

On Sept. 1, 2019, at approximately 11:45 p.m., the defendant was driving a 1997 Cadillac sedan eastbound at a high rate of speed on Forest Avenue in Glen Cove, when he struck a private ambulette driving southbound on Walnut Avenue.

Gutierrez-Garcia did not sustain any injuries during the crash, while his front-seat passenger suffered minor injuries. The EMT inside the ambulette suffered serious physical injuries, while the driver of the ambulette suffered minor injuries.

Motherway,the 85-year-old patient inside the ambulette, later died of injuries suffered during the crash.
