he Port Washington Water District (PWWD) has received a compliance deferral from New York State, which will allow the District the needed time to design and construct the treatment systems to remove 1,4-dioxane. The state will only grant the two-year compliance deferral to water providers that have an action plan to construct advanced oxidation process (AOP) treatment system, which is required to meet the State’s new maximum contaminant level (MCL) for 1,4-dioxane. “The district’s goal is to keep the impacted wells offline by requiring the community to reduce irrigation by 20 percent while we work aggressively to get the needed treatment systems up and running,” David Brackett, chairman of the PWWD, said. “The compliance deferral is a proactive measure reserved for extreme weather or emergency circumstances.” See rest of the story on page 4 Port Washington News (USPS 438-940) Postmaster: Send address changes to Long Island Community Newspapers, P.O.

Cow Neck Historical Society Receives Gardiner Grant
TOP STORY

he Sands-Willets House, a historical museum located in Port Washington will be receiving a much needed restoration in the coming months. The Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society was awarded a $125,525 grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation for the restoration of Sands-Willets Home’s front porch. “Our plan was initially to built a handicapped access ramp for not only wheelchairs and walkers but for moms and dads pushing strollers,” Chris Bain, president of the Historical Society, said. But after hiring an architect, they learned that the end of the porch is nearly collapsing and needs to be stabilized before any additional work can be done to it. This is the first time the nearly 100 year old wrap-around porch has had any major repairs done to it. The plan is to restore the porch in the same architectural manner as it currently stands, with an added ramp to allow for those with strollers and wheelchairs to easily enter inside. The restoration process will take approximately nine months to complete and is set to begin this month. “This long overdue project, made possible by the support of The Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation, will enable everyone in the surrounding communities and beyond to freely visit our historic house and, once there, get a deeper understanding of our fascinating local history,” Bain said in a press release. Project Manager and Past President Fred Blumlein also noted that the project is being launched on the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Sands-Willets House, whose western side was built in 1735 by John Sands III, had a front porch added in the 1850s when its new owner, Edmund Willets, enlarged the home in Greek-Revival style. That porch was replaced in approximately 1910 with the striking 65’ long front porch with porte-cochere that is currently seen on the property today. The lengthy restoration process involves removing the 10 columns which hold up the roof and replacing them with temporary columns. The existing

The Historical Society is now planning future exhibitions for 2022 and hopes that the restoration of the porch and the added handicap ramp will allow people to visit the historical museum for generations to come. “When we have a big event, whether it’s a costume exhibition or a quilt exhibition, it’s amazing how many people come in and say that they’ve been driving by the house their entire life they’ve never been inside before,” Bain said. “We’ve got a much stronger presence now in the community in part because of Facebook and the availability of social media and email blasts that we can send out with the click of a button. There is a lot of history in town everywhere you look.” The restoration is set to begin this month. The Historical Society will be documenting each step of the progress on their website, www.cowneck.org. —Additional information provided by the Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society What did you think of this story?

The state will only grant the two-year compliance deferral to water providers that have an action plan to construct advanced oxidation process (AOP) treatment system, which is required to meet the state’s new maximum contaminant level (MCL) for 1,4-dioxane. “The district’s goal is to keep the impacted wells offline by requiring the community to reduce irrigation by 20 percent while we work aggressively to get the needed treatment systems up and running,” David Brackett, Chairman of the PWWD, said. “The compliance deferral is a proactive measure reserved for extreme weather or emergency circumstances. However, if we are to meet the water needs of our community during the hotter months—while simultaneously keeping wells offline to construct required treatment—the Port Washington community must reduce irrigation usage by 20 percent.” On Aug. 26, 2020, the New York State Health Department finalized regulations establishing MCLs for 1,4-dioxane at 1 part per billion (ppb). Currently, three of the District’s 12 supply wells have had detections of 1,4-dioxane at or above 1 part per billion. “The MCLs are set well below levels known to cause health effects in animal studies, the New York State Health Department stated. “Therefore,

Real Estate Firm Purchases Soundview Marketplace In Port PEBB Enterprises Expands Into New York market with retail acquisition PEBB Enterprises, the entrepreneurial private real estate investment firm, is making its first foray into the New York market with the acquisition of a Long Island shopping center. The firm, in partnership with New York-based Sagamore Hill Partners, purchased Soundview Marketplace, a retail property with significant upside, in affluent Port Washington. PEBB and Sagamore acquired the 188,109-square-foot shopping center
at 10 Shore Rd. for an undisclosed price. The transaction closed in December. 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. Target and TJ Maxx recently signed long-term leases at the center. Soundview Marketplace presents an exceptional value-add opportunity for PEBB and Sagamore. It was 75 percent leased at closing, leaving substantial room to backfill remaining space at
present-day rents. “Expanding into New York with this acquisition is an incredible way to close out the year,” PEBB Enterprises President and CEO Ian Weiner said. “This is a particularly exciting asset due to its location, strong anchor tenants and future lease-up potential. PEBB continues to pursue investment opportunities in New York and the broader Northeast market.” “With this acquisition, we have the opportunity to complete Soundview Marketplace’s transformation into
the area’s top shopping and dining destination,” Mark Kaplan, Principal of Sagamore Hill Partners added. “Through site improvements and a focus towards attracting best-in-class operators, we can achieve that goal.” Transwestern’s John Bell, Jon Kleinberg and Patrick Heeg of the firm’s Miami, Atlanta and New York offices, respectively, represented the seller. The property was marketed through the Ten-X commercial real estate transaction platform. —Submitted by PEBB Enterprises

I pleased to be able to facilitate this dredging project.” Underground streams and storm drains empty into the pond. However, litter and other debris also runs into

The Port Washington Chamber of Commerce SOUPer Bowl is always a welcome respite from the cold winter weather. The SOUPer Bowl Committee has turned this premiere foodie event into a safe and fun contest for these unprecedented times. SOUPer Bowl XIV will take place on Feb. 6, 2021—in people’s homes. Local restaurants will still donate their best soups to the event. But instead of a large gathering, people will be able to sign up to be a taster on the Chamber’s website. On SOUPer Bowl Saturday, Feb. 6 each person who signed up will be able to pick up a reusable tote bag full of 6-ounce portions of each soup to take home. They can then taste each soup and vote online for their favorites. Starting Jan. 15, visit www.pwcoc.org to purchase your tote bag filled with delicious soups and voting instructions. —Submitted by the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce

THE CORONAVIRUS - A WORLD IN A CRISIS
The Next Wave Is Here Northwell CEO: Hospital system ready
BY FRANK RIZZO
I
n his book Leading Through A Pandemic, Northwell Health CEO/ President Michael Dowling detailed the frantic and frightening early weeks of the coronavirus pandemic. The New York City metro area was the national epicenter of the spreading virus in March and April, and he stated that his system, the largest in New York State, was the epicenter of the epicenter. Northwell claims that it has treated more COVID-19 patients than any other medical system in the country. It has also led in vaccine distribution, with, at press time, more than 7,000 of its 70,000-plus employees receiving either the Pfizer or the Moderna vaccines. Anton Media Group recently interviewed Dowling. What’s been the effect of the second wave on your hospital system? It has been relatively modest, compared to the first wave. We have had a pretty large increase in COVID patients over the last four weeks [from 80 to 790]. We’re managing it easily. It does not put major pressure on us at all. It’s important to put that figure in context because back in April, during the height, we had 3,500 COVID patients in the hospitals. If you look at it over the last month, it’s a big increase. If you look at it compared to the first wave, it’s relatively modest.

masks and vents and shields. But we continue to stock it every week, because the international supply sometimes gets challenged. So you’re always looking for different ways to get supplies. Right now we don’t expect being in any difficulty.
frizzo@antonmediagroup.com
In the beginning, little was known about how to treat COVID-19. How about today? We are in much better shape than we were back in March because then we didn’t know much about the disease and the physicians and nurses were trying to figure out what it was. What parts of the body and organs it affected. What treatments might work. So obviously, over the course of the months, we’ve learned an awful lot, and today there are much better treatments. We know what to do first, we know what to do second and to do things so that patients won’t have to go into the ICU or to be intubated as much. So yes, it’s a whole different world today medically-wise than it was back in March. There are less people [percentage-wise] in ICU and being intubated, and much less mortality today than what existed prior.
Q A
Q
What about your staff? Is there burnout among frontline health workers? The attitude is quite positive. The feedback from the workers [is that] the morale is high. There is fatigue. That’s natural. I walk around, I’m in the facilities all the time and they say to me, ‘Oh my God, I hope we won’t have to go through this again.’ But if we have to go though it again [we will]. Overall, we have a very resilient workforce. The frontline people are just terrific, the nurses and doctors and everybody, they are just wonderful. And they are ready to tackle it and beat it again. But everybody is wishing the same thing—that we wish it would be over, so that we could go back to some level of normality.

Q
A
What can you tell us about Northwell’s involvement with the vaccine roll out? We’ve been very involved with the state Department of Health on the vaccine. We will have a major role in organizing the vaccination in this region. We are very well prepared. We have plenty of freezers to be able to keep the vaccines at the right temperatures. The freezers at Northwell have the capacity to keep 7.7 million doses and [they] are distributed across our system.
Q A

Any final thoughts? The fact that we have a vaccine is great news [but] it’s going to take a long time for the roll out. And if you gave someone a shot today, they’ll have to take a second one three weeks from now. It doesn’t begin to take effect for up to six weeks. My point is this is not the time to relax. Everybody should still wear a mask and social distance. Should still wash their hands. If people relax on that because the vaccine is here, that will only prolong the COVID crisis. The crisis will last as long as the public decides not to comply. If the public complies, we will get this crisis over very quickly.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
REACHING A DEAL ON COUNTY DEBT After months of negotiations, the Legislative Majority has reached a deal with the Nassau Interim Finance Authority (NIFA), and the Curran administration in connection with the proposed restructuring of county debt and the 2021 budget. The Majority achieved its goals, including reducing the time within which county bonds have to be paid off, saving county taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, and creating a special fund to repay residents and small businesses monies that the county owes them for tax refunds. Earlier this year the county executive proposed to restructure $435 million in county
debt over 30 years. The Majority resisted the plan, which would have saddled county taxpayers hundreds of millions in unnecessary costs over the 30-year period. Faced with opposition from the Majority, the county executive agreed to reduce the bonds from 30-year to 15-year bonds. The shorter term will save taxpayers more than $200 million. The administration also agreed to a provision that will allow the county to pay off the bonds during the 15-year term. The county executive has agreed to the Majority’s proposal for a special revenue fund for monies beyond the administration’s estimates in the budget.
The reserve fund will ensure that county operations will continue during the pandemic while dedicating increased sales tax revenues to paying tax refunds to residents and businesses incorrectly assessed by the county. The fund may also be used for unreimbursed COVID expenses. In sum, the Majority has achieved the following: · Reduced the term of the borrowing from 30 years to 15 years, saving taxpayers more than $200 million over the course of term of the bonds. · Created a mechanism allowing the county to pay off the bonds before 15 years. · Created a dedicated fund to
assist in paying back residents and businesses who are owed tax refunds. The deal the Majority negotiated will ensure the county is able to financially recover from the financial impact of COVID-19, without straddling our children and grandchildren with hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. The Majority’s special revenue fund will finally begin to repay tax monies incorrectly charged to small business owners and residents. The Majority will continue to stand up for Nassau residents, and fight to lower taxes for our overburdened residents. —Nassau County Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello
a brutal year that has impacted each of us to varying degrees— loss of loved ones, loss of employment, families struggling with remote learning, and dashed opportunities—then we get hit with a tremendous 8 percent tax increase. Oh, but there is apparently one shining bright spot in all this gloom—the unqualified department head of the Glen Cove Youth Bureau can celebrate a 50 percent raise. I understood the restructuring
It is with great sadness that I announce that Osteria Leana (Oyster Bay) will be closing its doors on Dec. 27. Further, Taco Bay will suspend operations indefinitely on Dec. 27. The holiday season has just not been the same with the absence of large gatherings and Christmas
festivities, and it doesn’t seem likely that things will improve in the coming months. I will certainly miss the challenges and joys that came with operating Osteria Leana; however, repeated attempts to extend the lease with the landlord have been unsuccessful. I always felt that the
of the Parks & Recreation Department was intended to save the city money. However, the City Council is voted on Dec. 22 to increase the Director of Youth Bureau’s salary another $20,000 in addition to the $18,000 increase in the approved budget. Why would this occur after the budget was final? My concern is compounded by the confusion of giving one employee, untested in the role, a 50 percent raise that is the equivalent of a laborer that lost

IS IT APRIL FOOLS DAY IN DECEMBER? The City of Glen Cove 2021 budget was completed with minimal transparency and minimal attempt to save jobs. The mayor literally would not consider any cost savings alternatives offered by at least two councilmembers. The current administration had to make “tough decisions” so they took the easy way out. Lay off dedicated employees, decrease services and raise taxes. So the budget was approved and final on Oct. 27, 2020. After

his job during the 2021 budget process. This is simply not fair nor fiscally responsible. If this administration is allowed to keep adding expenses how can the 2021 budget be balanced? Yet it sailed through pre-council with no objection— even from the self-appointed fiscal watchdog Councilperson Silverman. Perhaps waiting for a bigger audience? The taxpayers of Glen Cove are not fools and we deserve better. —Barbara Peebles

This event took place in the auditorium and included speeches from Superintendent Paul Defendini, Principal Dr. Samuel Thompson, and keynote speaker, social studies teacher James Hughes, who spoke about the significant character traits that encompass members of the National Honor Society. “How do we find hope during this current crisis?” Hughes asked. “The answer is right here in front of me.

Students in Hicksville Public Schools celebrated Kindness Day by recently wearing blue and participating in classroom- and building-level activities over an entire week. Sponsored by the Hicksville PTA, all in-school elementary students received a “Hicksville Students Choose Kindness” bracelet, while each elementary school handled the delivery of bracelets to remote students differently. Kindness activities for both in-school and
remote students included a wide range of writing and art projects. Many thanks to the PTA and all the staff members for encouraging kindness in Hicksville schools.

Garden City High School students modeled the masks and decals that they made. (Photo courtesy of Garden City Public Schools) Stano also enlisted the assistance of Media Arts 2 students, who worked under the direction of teacher Denise Holz to design iron-on vinyl decals that were later cut with a Cricut machine and affixed to the masks. They submitted their sketches and used Adobe Illustrator to create vector images, which were uploaded to Cricut Design Space. The ACE students and teacher Mary Ferrara stepped in from there and took on the sales and distribution responsibilities. They collected order forms, counted money, filled orders and delivered the masks around the school to staff. Transferrable job skills such as these align with the ACE program’s vocational components. All proceeds from this initiative will go to an Adopt a Family fundraiser that high school staff members have coordinated to help those in need during the holiday season.

Garden City High School students and staff members from several classes and programs have come together to collaborate on making and selling face masks. Manufacturing, art and ACE students combined their many skills and talents to create approximately 250 fabric masks complete with decorative designs. Teacher Michael Stano developed the idea as a hands-on learning project for his manufacturing class that serves the double purpose of helping to keep people safe during the pandemic. He walked students through the various steps of the mask-making process and taught them to sew, break down expenses and complete other tasks. They cut templates with a laser cutter, developed cost analysis charts and stitched the fabric using sewing machines borrowed from teacher Erin McKinistry’s fashion marketing class.

Long Island Vehicle Thefts Climb Sharply During Pandemic
LONG ISLAND
(all Long Island info is year-to-date through September 30)
County Nassau PD Suffolk PD
Now, more than ever, it seems, folks should keep a close eye on their cars parked outside their own homes. Lots more vehicles have been stolen during 2020 on Long Island compared to a year ago. On Long Island, available data from the Suffolk and Nassau police departments show a 34 percent and 22 percent increase in vehicle thefts, respectively. Suffolk Police Department reported 786 vehicles stolen between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30, 2020, compared to 588 during the same period in the previous last year. “This year has seen a major increase in stolen vehicles,” said Robert Sinclair, Jr., senior manager, public affairs for AAA Northeast. In the same nine-month time frame, the Nassau Police Department reported 433 stolen vehicles this year, compared to 356 in 2019. Many Long Island towns and villages have their own police departments without publicly available data. In a bad economy, many may be turning to the relatively easy crime of vehicle theft to pay the bills, support drug habits or just for the thrill. “Passive immobilizer anti-theft technology, available on new vehicles for a decade or more, was thought to be an effective deterrent,” Sinclair said. “But this technology seems to be making it relatively easy for vehicles to be stolen by creative thieves.” Late model keyless entry systems use fobs that send radio signals to vehicles, which respond by unlocking their doors and allowing engine startup. Drivers usually leave their fobs near the front doors of their homes. Thieves work in tandem, one equipped with a receiver that picks up the fob’s signal, then relays it to another thief with a receiver near the vehicle to gain entry. The best advice to prevent theft of newer keyless entry vehicles is to keep the fobs as far away from the vehicle as possible. Putting the fob in a metal box to block the signal is also strongly suggested. Many thefts occur when drivers leave their keys or fob in their car. Locking the vehicle and taking the key/fob may be an elementary, but necessary recommendation. —Submitted by AAA Northeast

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve made plans, backup plans, plans that go beyond your plans, an inner strategy, an outer strategy, and contingencies for all of them. The funny thing is that there will still be moments when, for whatever reason, the plans go out the window and your instinct carries the day, quite brilliantly indeed. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You learned this long ago: If you’re not casting yourself as the hero of your story, then you’re not going to live it very convincingly, let alone tell it well. You’ll get a refresher on the lesson this week as larger-than-life characters or situations impinge on your mission. Throw up defenses. Reinstate rules. Assert yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As a spirit in a body, you’re a passenger in a vehicle you sometimes aren’t sure how to best maintain. Don’t worry, your body will tell you exactly what it needs this week. Listen and react quickly. If you focus on clean fuel, then you’ll be on the right track. Solid nutritional choices contribute to brilliant outcomes. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The reason you’re strong is that you’ve lived through the sort of circumstances that make a person strong. Therefore, it makes no sense to you to think of yourself as a victim, and it’s confusing when others do this. Yet, you’ll listen, find compassion and model the attitude of resilience that helps more than you’ll know. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re searching for something -- not because you need or lack it but because you care enough to make things better for you and for all. You’re looking for the thing that will help you make a difference in the experience of this lifetime. You’ll find clues to transcendence in the most ordinary places.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As a child of nature, you get charged up experiencing trees, mountains, rivers and elements of the environment that have been around a lot longer than humans. If it’s not possible to head for the forest or sea, then care for a plant or an animal, as this is also healing and revitalizing to the soul. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What’s familiar feels safe, but “safe” is not synonymous with “optimal.” Since you want better for yourself, you’re on a path that sometimes veers from safety, and you’re willing to take the ride. Precautions help. Find the emotional equivalent of a helmet and shin guards and skate on into it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Emotions drive the action. The smartest, cleanest, most efficient and economical solutions will get overlooked unless they also come with the opportunity for emotional connection. Even reasonable people will go with their gut. Leverage emotions to your advantage this week by recognizing the role of feelings.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS
There are many sides to you. This year, you will get to explore some that you normally wouldn’t have the chance to. A turn of events in February gives you the opportunity to teach, innovate and solve interesting problems. Relationships blossom through strange challenges in odd environments. You’ll integrate a mix of influences into one cool entity and bring this hybrid to the world in the spring. Expect to be misunderstood at first. Field questions and shape this into a story many will relate to. COPYRIGHT 2021 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As a pulse of the infinite wave of life, your beat is commanding you and a lot of other people to dance right now, and you may feel unsure where to set the tempo.
