Students To Pay Tribute To Veterans With Field Of Honor

BY ANTHONY MURRAY

tudents at Mineola High School are coming together to bring awareness to our veterans with a fundraising project that is set to happen at Mineola High School in the coming month.

“I have always had a special interest in the challenges veterans face once they return home and the scary statistic that 22 veterans commit suicide a day has stuck with me since the day I heard it,” Mineola High School teacher Francine Sclafani said. “I saw a movie American Sniper a few years ago that also brought attention to the various stressors veterans face.”

Sclafani started teaching U.S. History a few years ago and thought her position as a teacher would be a great opportunity to bring awareness to the issues that veterans face to her students.

TOP STORIES

Diocese Of Rockville Centre Declares Bankruptcy More than 200 lawsuits of sexual abuse were filed

BY MARCO SCHADEN

mschaden@antonmediagroup.com

T

he Diocese of Rockille Centre declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Oct. 1, citing the financial burden of lawsuits brought by the Child Victim’s Act. The diocese has received more than 200 lawsuits regarding sexual abuse and more are expected to be filed after New York State extended the Child Victim’s Act for another year.

“What became clear is that the Diocese could not continue to carry out its spiritual, charitable and educational missions while also having to shoulder the increasingly heavy burden of litigation expenses associated with these cases,” Diocese of Rockville Centre Bishop John Barres said in a statement.

“Filing for Chapter 11, we believe, is the only way for the Diocese to ensure a fair and equitable outcome for everyone involved. That is because the bankruptcy court will centralize all litigation and oversee a settlement that ensures that no survivor is left out or gets unfair compensation at the expense of another survivor.”

A bankruptcy filing was expected after the Diocese of Rockville Centre failed to halt their progress in New York State Court. The diocese called the Child Victim’s Act unconstitutional and tried to strike it down in court, they failed to do so and also lost on appeal.

The diocese then tried to get sexual abuse survivors that filed with anonymous names to use their real name.

Attorneys for the survivors called this a scare tactic by the diocese in order to try and get them to drop their suits. The court would rule against the diocese on this as well.

“We feel that the Diocese of Rockville Centre from day one

Attorney Jeff Anderson (Photo by Marco Schaden) has been belligerent, has been unwilling to accommodate the survivors and has been combative,” Jeff Anderson, an attorney representing 73 of the sexual abuse survivors, said.

“They chose the battleground to fight the constitutionality and the confidentiality. They lost those battles. It’s our belief that as long as they stand and continue to take the position they have, they will continue to lose the battles.

And we will continue to fight with them until they’re ready to work with the survivors to bring resolution and transparency, because they use the reorganization to hide both the truth of their practices and their true treasury.”

The diocese previously sued their insurance companies to ensure they would pay survivors, that suit is currently pending. Filing for bankruptcy may bring the insurance companies closer to the table for negotiations with survivors

and save the diocese, also dealing with the financial fallout of COVID-19, a substantial amount of money.

For survivors, the bankruptcy is not all that bad. Most, if not all, will be paid, but they will also lose their day in court to speak on traumatic events that have stuck with them for decades.

“There’s good involved in [bankruptcy],” Michael Pfau, an attorney representing about 20 sexual abuse survivors, said. “There will be a negotiated process.

Everyone with a viable claim will be paid. In many cases where there are there’s ample assets and insurance, like this diocese, they will likely be compensated fairly. What they won’t have is the ability to go into a courtroom and tell their story. That they lose.”

As part of the bankruptcy filing, the diocese plans not to include their parishes and schools. However, that could

Diocese of Rockville Centre Bishop John O. Barres

That most likely will not be happen unless the diocese challenges the claims made by survivors in bankruptcy court, making the secret archive potentially relevant to the proceedings.

“Bankruptcy permits them to create a shield and a sword,” Anderson said. “It shields them from allowing the survivors and their advocates from being able to proceed with those claims and move forward with those claims and unearth the practices and the perils that have existed past and present. It shields them from discovery.”

The files could potentially be seen through nonmonetary conditions that are put in place as part of the bankruptcy. The Diocese of Rockville Centre is the sixth largest diocese in the country and the biggest to not reveal the abusive priest’s names in their secret archives.

“I think as an attorney and on behalf of my clients, I would like to see total transparency on the part of the diocese,” Pfau said. “I would like to see them open up their secret files to the public, and I would like to see them and provide a complete list of those priests credibly accused of child abuse.”

The diocese said it will continue operations as normal and no drastic cuts or layoffs were announced, but three of its schools shut down over the past year. However, Bishop Barres did say the diocese will have fewer financial recourses to help struggling parishes and schools.

This saga is no closer to ending, bankruptcy proceedings are expected to take 18 months to two years.

mean that lawsuits against those parishes and schools could continue separately without the diocese involved. “[It] is a significant risk for a diocese when they file for bankruptcy,” Pfau said. “They lose control over the process and they lose control over the protection of their assets.

Bankruptcies don’t always go favorably for the defendants.

The parishes are separately incorporated, but the lawsuits will continue against the parishes. Oftentimes you will see in a situation like that is, when there’s a resolution of the diocese claims, there will be a resolution of the cases against the parishes. That said, a bankruptcy puts the parishes at a significant risk.”

There will be no discovery process in bankruptcy court.

Supervisor Don Clavin Is ‘Disgusted’ With Anti-Semitic Graffiti

SEAFORD

BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

eamans Neck Park in Seaford is the latest public area in Nassau County to be defaced with symbols of hate. This time, multiple swastikas were drawn in the park in the middle of the Jewish High Holiday season.

The anti-Semitic graffiti was found at the park’s playground on Sept. 30, etched into the playground equipment.

Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin immediately condemned the act of vandalism.

“It’s really troubling that, in 2020, we’re seeing anti-Semitism taking place,” Clavin told Anton Media Group. “There were swastikas and other anti-Semitic displays etched into this playground. We informed the county police, and the town board went down to talk about this.

“It’s sickening,” he added. “This is where little kids go. This is where slides are. To think that’s what somebody or some people are capable of doing is disgusting, shocking and outrageous.”

Plastic Bag Ban To Go In Effect

assau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D–Glen Cove) reminds residents that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will begin enforcing a statewide ban on single-use plastic bags starting on Oct. 19.

Initially slated to go into effect on March 1, implementation of the ban, which impacts almost all plastic carry-out bags, was delayed by a lawsuit from plastics manufacturers and the COVID-19 pandemic. Key elements of the ban were upheld by a New York State Supreme Court judge in an August ruling, clearing the way for the law to be enforced.

Exemptions allow the use of plastic bags for prescription medication, fruits and vegetables, uncooked meat, seafood and poultry, cold cuts and other specified uses. Retailers that distribute products sold in plastic bags, such as cases of water, paper towels, bread bags and produce bags, will continue to be required to accept plastic bags and other film plastics for recycling.

Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton and Bruce Kennedy use reusable tote bags when they shop. (Photo courtesy of Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton’s office) “While I completely understand how convenient plastic bags are, this small lifestyle change is well worth making because it will have such a positive impact on the environment,”

DeRiggi-Whitton said. “I myself have to go back to my car to get my bags more times than I would like to admit, but it’s something we have to do to protect the future for ourselves

and our children.”

According to the DEC, New Yorkers uses about 23 billion bags each year.

By making the commitment to switch to reusable bags is a simple step that residents can take if they want to live a more sustainable lifestyle.

Widespread adherence will result in a huge positive environmental impact in the months and years to come.

The plastic bag ban also gives Nassau County and other New York State jurisdictions the option to implement a five-cent fee for the use of disposable paper bags. Nassau County’s Legislature Majority has thus far declined to implement this change aimed at reducing disposable bag use.

New Look For Senior Center

BY FRANK RIZZO

he “Before” was old, tired and threadbare.

The “After” was new, bright and shiny.

Visitors to the Westbury Community Center will be in for a surprise when allowed back in the premises, perhaps later this month. Among these will the seniors who comprise its largest users as members of the Senior Citizens of Westbury, Inc. Informally, the building is also known as the Senior Center.

Westbury Mayor Peter Cavallaro unveiled the refurbished center on Oct. 1. He was accompanied by village, county and state elected officials and other members of his village administration.

The occasion was a ribbon cutting to celebrate the completion of the second of seven projects in the village’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) plan: the renovation of its Recreation and Community Complex on Post Avenue. Two other buildings comprise the complex—the

Recreation Center and the Sports Center.

In 2016, Westbury became the first village on Long Island to garner the $10 million DRI grant, initiated by Governor Andrew Cuomo to boost village development.

Last December, the board of trustees approved the rezoning of a 50-acre area adjoining the railroad station.

It will allow for a mixture of commercial and multifamily housing to take advantage of the nearby railroad station and a thriving downtown.

In remarks before the ribbon was cut, Cavallaro noted that the interior of the center had been essentially unchanged for decades. “[Seniors] rely on this building for their activities, so when we had the opportunity to determine—with public input—how we were going to spend the $10 million [DRI] grant, it was the logical thing to spend money on it,” the mayor observed.

Trustee Beaumont Jefferson stated, “What better way to invest our grant money

Both state Senator Anna Kaplan and Assemblyman Michael Montesano praised the collaboration between citizens and government that resulted in smart investments that led to improvements.

Nassau County Legislator and lifelong Westbury resident Laura Schaefer spoke of how much the center meant

for her and related that her mother Lorelle Schaefer is still a member of the seniors.

She was happy to be a part of the ceremony, not only as a legislator but also as a resident.

Also on hand was New York State Division of Homes and Community Renewal Commissioner RuthAnne Visnauskas. Her office administered the $526,000

the village spent to fund the project.

Senior Housing Inspector William Mello gave a tour of the complex, which the mayor said was used by up to 300 people daily pre-pandemic.

Matt Davis Fights Incredible Odds

alk about a series of unfortunate events.

In a rare moment of levity amidst her unrelenting family problems, Leslie Davis laughed when it was pointed out that her son Matt was living out the old blues lament, “If it wasn’t for bad luck, I would have no luck at all.”

“It’s a heartwarming horrible story. You can’t even make the story up,” she summed up Matt’s troubles.

Matt Davis, 21, Westbury High School Class of 2017, seemingly turned a corner earlier this summer.

A series of complex brain operations at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan back in February ameliorated a lifetime of epileptic seizures that had made his life difficult.

“We won’t say he’s 100 percent cured,” Leslie Davis told Anton Media Group. “But we will say that it’s treatable now, thank God. He hasn’t

Matt Davis is shown with his mother, Leslie Davis, a teacher and president of the Westbury NAACP chapter. (Contributed photo) had a seizure as long as he’s been on the meds.”

Unfortunately, the surgery also left him partially paralyzed, and Matt worked hard to overcome this complication.

On the night of July 23, he left his house for the first time

on his own. The Davises live near Brush Hollow Road and Matt visited a friend and they to went to a deli on nearby Prospect Avenue in the New Cassel section of Westbury.

While walking back to his house, Davis was struck by a hit-and-run driver and suffered severe head trauma.

He was taken to Nassau University Medical Center, where doctors stabilized him and put him in a medically-induced coma. He was then flown by helicopter to Lenox Hill Hospital.

Again, he was operated on by the same surgeons who had performed his original operation. Again, Matt Davis found himself in rehab, this time at the Northwell Stern Family Center for Rehabilitation.

“What happened was, after he got hit, he had uncontrollable seizures, so they want to make sure that he can get back where he was [before the accident],” Leslie Davis said.

“[The accident] triggered it all back again, the paralysis and everything.”

Davis is a 19-year teacher of cosmetology at Nassau BOCES Barry Tech Center in Westbury and is also the president of the Westbury chapter of the NAACP.

We won’t say he’s 100 percent cured but we will say that it’s treatable now, thank God. —Leslie Davis

Robert Troiano, president of the Westbury School District Board of Education and longtime family friend, said he was “crushed” when he got the text message about the accident on July 24.

“Everybody’s touched by the story, but they don’t think it through about how

expensive it is. There is no end to the expenses,” Troiano told Anton Media Group.

Troiano created a GoFundMe page on Sept.

2 to defray the costs of the house renovations needed to aid Matt’s recovery. It is nearing its $25,000 goal.

Many Westbury residents responded, with more than 200 contributions.

Both Troiano and Leslie Davis called Matt a gifted videographer, and his mother noted that his documentary about the Westbury boys’ basketball team’s 2018 championship season earned him a New York State award.

Leslie Davis hopes her son will go back to school. He attended both the Fashion Institute of Technology and Nassau Community College.

But his seizures made it impossible for him to continue his education.

League of Women Voters Hosts NYS Senate Forum

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

C

andidates in the running for the New York State Senate District 5 seat came together on Wednesday, Oct. 7 to discuss their policies in a forum style debate. This forum was hosted by the League of Women Voters of Port Washington and Manhasset via Zoom.

Candidates discussed a range of topics from the restarting the economy to Long Island groundwater contamination in an hour and a half long forum moderated by LWV representative Michelle Lamberty.

Those vying for the District 5 seat this November are incumbent Senator Jim Gaughran, a Democrat, Huntington Town Supervisor Edmund Smyth, a Republican and Barbara Wagner of the Green Party. Wagner was unable to attend the forum. The night began with three minutes for opening statements in which each candidate shared a rough outline of their plans for the upcoming term.

The first question concerned the most urgent issues facing the district and candidates’ plan to address them.

According to Gaughran, the most urgent issue is how to avoid budget cuts to schools, local governments and hospitals.

“When adopting the budget for this year, we chose to adopt an optimistic budget based on the representations that we heard from Washington [D.C.] that there would be assistance for our state and local governments for our lost revenues,” Gaughran said.

New York’s sales and income tax are dropping dramatically, according to Gaughran. There is a need to avoid cuts, fill budget holes where they can and to move forward with the economy. Gaughran said unless Joe Biden is elected president, the state may have a difficult time, as President Trump made it clear that New York is a “blue state” and he doesn’t want to help.

“All we’re asking for is just a little return on all the money we as New Yorkers have sent down,” he said. “We need to get this aid from Washington.”

The most urgent issue according to Smyth is the safe reopening of the economy from quarantine restrictions.

“We have to get back to business,” he said. “Our economy drives the tax revenue in Albany. It’s wishful thinking to wait on Washington D.C. for anything.”

believe we are going to see billions of dollars being recouped.”

To close the forum, each candidate expressed why voters should choose them on election day. Gaughran spoke of his ability to listen and talk to everyone and his strong belief in bipartisanship. “We have to discard our political hats once we are elected into office,” he said.

The most important thing Gaughran plans to do in 2021 is find a way to rebuild the state’s economy.

Smyth shared that working across the aisle has never been a problem for him. His wife is a Democrat and they are capable of having civil discussions on politics with the ability to agree to disagree, or disagree without being disagreeable.

“I’m not someone who subscribes to the idea of don’t talk politics at the dinner table,” he said. “If you can have a rational discussion and not get too worked up about it, you should do it.”

This mindset is something he hopes more Americans can implement in their everyday interactions.

Smyth looks forward to representing District 5 and said he will be a strong voice in Albany. “I’ll bring a common sense voice to Albany and will work with anyone at the table to make some reasonable ideas,” he said.

The League of Women Voters will host their next forum for NYS Senate District 7 on Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. via livestream, and a forum for the NYS Assembly District 16 following that at 8:30 p.m. at my.lwv.org/new-york/ port-washington-manhasset.

Fighting To Win Peter King’s Old Seat

His old district stretches in the west from Levittown and wends east through North Wantagh, Seaford, South Farmingdale and Massapequa right into a number of Suffolk County communities including Amityville, Copiague, Lindenhurst, Brentwood, Babylon, Oakdale and Ronkonkoma.

Jackie Gordon

Gordon is a 29-year career veteran who served in the United States Army Reserve, where she was part of the military police battalion and retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. She is also a former guidance counselor at Farmingdale’s Wilson Technological Center and served on the Babylon Town Council from 2007 to 2020.

Q

How has the race been going for you so far?

JG: The race has been really going well. I think what’s really important is what I’m hearing from voters is a change in representation from someone who can identify and understand the challenges they face and the need for affordable and accessible health care. I think it’s looking really good.

So many people want to be a part of this movement. They want to help with the campaign and in spreading the word. People are interested in the process of voting and how we vote. There is an excitement about the process, the issues and the idea of representation that is connected to them.

Q

What are some of the issues that people are bringing up to you out there on the campaign trail?

ELECTION NEWS and taking care of our veterans. Here on Long Island, we have the largest concentration of veterans. So we need to serve them as they’ve served us. We have to reduce the cost of prescription drugs and make sure we have protection in place for people with preexisting conditions, particularly with what’s going on with this novel virus. I am a combat veteran and I know how difficult it was for me when I got back home to re-assimilate back to the life that I once knew or as close to it as possible. So we have to make sure those resources are there for those veterans like mental health services and that they don’t end up homeless.

And of course, we have to make sure the VA health care system remains intact because they get good quality health care through it. We also need representatives in Congress who are going to prioritize climate change and understand the science is real and make it a priority.

Q

Biggest difference between what you’re running on versus what your opponent is running on?

JG: I am running on the issues that I hear from voters in the district, which is affordable health care, bringing down the price of prescription drugs and providing protection for people with preexisting conditions. My opponent is running on a platform that is not based on any facts. I was in the military for 29 years, of which 27 of those I was a police officer. Not only do I support law enforcement, I am law enforcement. In addition to that, for 32 years it was my job to make sure that the youngsters in my care for six hours a day were kept safe. As a councilwoman on the town board for 13 years, part of my responsibility was public safety. So I have personally spent my entire life keeping my community and my country safe and not just supporting it. My opponent supports [law enforcement]. I am law enforcement.

The students also completed various projects about the different organizations that help vets today.

We are very excited about this new project.”

So how are students reaching out to the community to get donations?

“Students have promoted this fundraiser through social media, telling their family and friends and using the Mineola district’s phone and email service, which sends a phone call and email to every district household about the event,” Sclafani said.

Proceeds from the school’s fundraiser will go to American Vet Dogs in Smithtown, which specializes placing highly-skilled service and guide dogs to individuals with physical injuries, PTSD, hearing and vision loss and seizures.

“The 11th graders last year wanted to culminate all their work with a final project for the community to see and honor veterans on Long Island,” Sclafani explained. “We decided on a Flag Field of Honor since we do not have one in Mineola. The students wanted to sell flags to be purchased by family and friends of vets and then have them displayed at the high school. All the proceeds will go to a charity of their choosing. The students researched various charities and then voted on one—and they choose American Vet Dogs, which is also the charity Mr. Urianek works with as well.”

Residents can purchase a flag for $20, which will be displayed at the high school’s first annual Flag Field of Honor, at the entrance of the high school. The Field of Honor will be up from Veterans Day until Thanksgiving.

All sponsors will get the flag when the school takes them down. Flag orders are being accepted now until Oct. 14.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CELEBRATING 30 YEARS ON THE BENCH Next year will mark my 30th anniversary as a Village of Westbury Justice and, for 10 years before that, I served as chair of the Village Code Review Commission.

Aside from my official duties, I have been very proud to assist the village in its fight against a casino and to have been a part of the Town of North Hempstead’s Councilmatic Commission, which created a minority council seat on our town board. It has also been my honor to run Law Day and Constitution Day programs each year for the benefit of the community and to name

our Constitution Day program in honor of our friend and Westbury resident, Dean and Professor of Law Michael Simons of the St. John’s Law School. Our Law Day Program has been named after Judges John L. Molloy and Frank J. Santagata, both my predecessors and mentors.

I must also give thanks to former Trustee David Ressnick and Mayor Ernest Strada, both of whom gave me a start in village government and public service. Their work has been followed by the extraordinary support that I have received from Mayor Peter Cavallaro

and the village board.

I must also give a special thanks to our village staff, including Rita Geraldi Yannacone, Patricia Ferina, Ted Blach, Jack Sharkey, Cliff Morgenegg, Robert Juliano, Dwight Kraemer, Luigi Vigliotti and Anna Vikse. I would be remiss if I did not mention some of the fine advocates who grace our court by their distinguished presence including but not limited to Anthony Mastroianni and Lou Martins among others.

Finally, the building department and Bill Mello have helped the court to

surmount some of our vexing housing issues that we have encountered.

There is no doubt that Westbury is on the way up. I have tried to create a model court to compliment a model village. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for your support.

I am sure that under Mayor Cavallaro we will continue to grow and prosper. I am proud to have been a part of the village’s revitalization. It has been and will continue to be my sincere honor to serve our community.

NEW YORK AMERICAN WATER MUST ABANDON COSTLY TREATMENT PLANT PROJECT Over the summer, New York State implemented stringent new regulations that lowered the acceptable amount of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in potable water. To ensure compliance with this statewide mandate, New York American Water began the process of building a water treatment facility at their Roslyn Drive property in Glen Head.

This is a serious issue that we have a legal and moral obligation to address. However, it must not be used as a cover for wasteful backroom deals that provide little benefit to ratepayers.

Like water providers throughout the state, New York American Water (NYAW) is on the front lines of efforts to remove this dangerous carcinogen from our water supply.

The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has warned that exposure to PFOS over certain levels can result in serious health problems, such as developmental effects to fetuses during pregnancy or to breast-fed infants; cancer; and negative impacts upon the liver, thyroid and immune system.

Although I have not agreed with or liked many of the things that NYAW has done in our community, when they reached out in January on this issue, I felt compelled to be of assistance.

As part of the approval process with the Town of Oyster

Bay’s Zoning Board of Appeals, New York American Water was advised to conduct public outreach. To ensure that immediately impacted residents would have an opportunity to review plans for this $3.5-million facility and pose questions to NYAW officials, I agreed to host a public meeting at the North Shore High School on March 16. However, as the emerging COVID-19 pandemic began to wreak havoc upon our region, the public forum was postponed.

Now, let’s fast-forward three months to mid-June, when I received a call from New York American Water. I believed they were finally ready to reschedule the meeting and were calling to coordinate with me.

Instead, I was floored to learn on that call that the zoning board had already approved NYAW’s zoning application—and the project they approved was $1 million more than when the proposal was last presented to me. It turns out that under cover of the pandemic, NYAW’s original plan to use landscaping to conceal the treatment facility’s four tanks from public view—a common, economical practice successfully utilized by countless water districts—was dramatically altered without the input of elected officials, rate payers or key stakeholders.

Instead, in my opinion, NYAW went behind our backs

to meet with a ‘civic group’ and replaced landscaping with a totally unnecessary $1 million ‘building.’ The ‘civic group’ they met with does not have any fiduciary responsibilities to their constituents, no mandate to speak for the community, and in my view, its members do not live in close proximity to the site of the treatment facility. I believe the leader of this group was likely not aware of the fiscal impact of the design changes he advocated for.

I made it clear that I was furious about their lack of transparency. To make matters even worse, because NYAW is a private company, it is not eligible for any state funding.

As I calculate it, if the cost is kept to the Sea Cliff Water District, their customers will be stuck with an additional bill of approximately $200 per ratepayer.

At a time when many of our constituents are grappling with COVID-19 related financial hardships above and beyond what I regard as their already exorbitant water bills, we have an ethical responsibility to ensure that this essential project is completed in a transparent and collaborative

manner that yields the maximum public health and quality of life benefits at the lowest cost possible.

I spoke to Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino, who was also concerned about the costs. He said that if New York American Water re-submitted its application without the costly $1-million structure, the Town of Oyster Bay would do what it could to have a new hearing as soon as possible.

Not surprisingly, my pleas to NYAW to make this right have been ignored thus far.

In my opinion, New York American Water’s track record clearly illustrates that, in its dealings with this community, it will not do the right thing without being publicly—and loudly—shamed.

There is still time for New York American Water to change course, though. Call New York American Water at 1-877-426-6999 to respectfully—but emphatically—make your opposition to this million-dollar boondoggle known and tell them that they have an obligation to serve all their ratepayers—not just the select few.

Starting Strong And Staying Safe At School North Shore Hebrew Academy High School (NSHAHS) celebrated a successful back to school upon reopening its doors on Sept. 9. After waiting nearly six months, students and teachers reunited. Students were eager to learn and teachers eager to teach. We have never missed school so much and are all grateful to be back.

Following our aforementioned opening a few weeks ago, school clubs and team meetings have begun. Newly accustomed freshmen are encouraged to join clubs and branch out. Many school clubs have been meeting online and initiated virtual projects

and the Creative Writing Club is meeting online preparing for multiple upcoming writing competitions.

With high holidays like no other, whether you participated in (safe) backyard minyans, (safe) communal services, or sheltered at home, the strength of our prayers and the cries North Shore Hebrew of the shofar can surely overcome any Academy challenge we face.

NSHAHS’ number one priority is the safety of its students and staff. to keep the community connected NSHAHS works endlessly to make and active. For instance, North Shore’s our reopening possible while at the Model Congress team is already fueling same time keeping students and staff for the program to be held on Zoom safe.

back. Nonetheless, students must do their share too. Every student has an individual responsibility in keeping our community healthy. Like my English teacher said, “This year is only going to work as long as everyone cooperates.”

As such, please continue to social distance, wear masks and follow community guidelines. Thank you to everyone for doing your part to help make NSHAHS’ reopening so successful. I hope and pray everyone remains safe and healthy and that we have a wonderful and successful school year.

A Matter Of Public Health During the past few weeks, I have often thought about my childhood experiences when it came to sickness.

Over a period of years, I suffered from such ailments as chicken pox, measles and rheumatic fever. On each occasion, I begged my mother to let me return to school and that I was “getting better.”

Her reply was, “don’t listen to me, listen to the doctors.” This recollection sums up what is America’s greatest failing— it’s failure to listen to the experts.

Over the last few months, health experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci have been demonized by the political establishment because they were saying things that some politicians didn’t want to hear. Sadly, quite a few uninformed people showered the health professionals with threats of bodily harm and even death. Things got so bad that the VFW Testifies On VA Wait Times Last week, VFW National Legislative Service Director Patrick Murray testified before the House Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Health regarding patient wait times and the VA’s payment process during the COID19 pandemic. Murray joined the VFW Independent Budget partners, paralyzed Veterans of America and Disabled Americans Veterans, to convey concerns about incorrect billing and canceled appointments. Recent implementation of the VA MISSION ACT of 2018 has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, but the VFW and our independent Budget partners urge the VA to keep communicating with its patients during these difficult times.

states, its residents totally ignored the warnings and they have paid the price with rising reports of hospital confinement and deaths.

The question we currently face is now that the president of the United States, who has the best health care in the nation, has been hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms, will Americans finally decide that wearing a mask is not a political statement and take the advice of the experts whose only goal is to keep us alive?

The second question is will the president tell the country to wear masks, social distance and wash their hands frequently? Or will he attempt to use this experience as a way to congratulate himself for conquering the illness and make believe that COVID-19 is just another flu that everyone can successfully

battle? Many of those questions will be answered long before this column is published, but the history of the past six months can’t be erased and its lessons will be ignored at your peril.

The people who work for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as the National Institute of Health, are not a bunch of political hacks. They have dedicated their lives to saving yours. Their information is not colored by politics or personal motives. They tell it like it is whether you like it or not. Attempts to twist their opinions are a threat to your life and you should denounce any politician, including the president, who minimizes their words. The COVID-19 experience is a life-changing event for all of us who want to live any additional precious years.

COLUMNS Happy 88th Anniversary To The New York City Transit A Train On Sept. 10, 1932, service started on the A train which originally ran between 207th Street in upper Manhattan and Chambers Street in downtown Manhattan. This was the first city owned and built IND subway line. At the time, it was considered state-ofthe-art with rattan seats, metal straps and overhead fans providing speedy service. The subway cars were so well built, many ran more than 40 years into the early 1970s. The basic design of these cars served as the foundation for future generations right up to the present day. IND stations on the A line were built to accommodate up to 11 car lengths. During the 1930s, New York City began building and financing construction of the new IND (Independent Subway—today’s A, C, E, F and G lines).

This new municipal system completely subsidized by taxpayers dollars would provide direct competition to both the privately owned IRT (Interboro Rapid Transit–todays’s 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 lines) and BMT (Brooklyn Manhattan Transit—today’s B, D, J, L, M, N, R, Q and Z lines).

The original base fare of five cents was established in 1913. Municipal government forced both the BMT and IRT into economic ruin by denying

them fare increases in future decAdes that would have provided access to additional badly needed revenues. Big Brother, just like the Godfather, eventually made them an offer they couldn’t refuse. The owners folded and sold out to City Hall in 1940.

The A train became famous in the 1940s when jazz musician Duke Ellington wrote “Take the A Train.” The A line was extended in 1936 and was known as the “Fulton Street branch” running through Brooklyn terminating at Lefferts Blvd in Queens. When the Long Island Rail Road abandoned the Rockaway Beach Branch in the 1950s, the A line was extended to provide new service to the Rockaways which began on June 28, 1956.

In 1953, the old New York City Board of Transportation passed on control of

the municipal subway system, including all its assets, to the newly created New York City Transit Authority. Under late Governor Nelson Rockefeller in the ‘60s, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority was created. The governor appointed four board members. Likewise, the mayor added four more and the rest were filled out by suburban county executives. No one elected official controlled a majority of the votes. As a result, elected officials have historically taken credit when the MTA or any operating subsidiary such as New York City Transit would do a good job. When operational problems occurred or fare increases were needed—everyone could put up their hands. Don’t blame me, I’m only a minority within the board. Decade after decade, New York City Mayors, comptrollers, public advocates, city council presidents, borough presidents and city council members would all play the same sad song—if only we had majority control of the board—things would be different.

All have long forgotten that buried within the 1953 master agreement between the City of New York and New York City Transit is an escape clause.

New York City has the legal right at any time to take back control of its assets

Family Owned & Operated

which includes the subway and most of the bus system as well. Actions speak louder than words. If municipal elected officials feel they could do a better job running the nation’s largest subway and bus system, why not step up to the plate now and regain control of your destiny?

Many are too young to remember that up until the 1970’s—New York City Transit extended E line service which ran express in Brooklyn providing supplemental service to the A line during rush hours to the Rockaways in Queens.

Riders up until the early 1970s had to pay an extra fare when traveling beyond Broad Channel to any other station in the Rockaways. For off-peak and latenight service, there was the old HH local shuttle from either Rockaway Park or Far Rockaway to Euclid Avenue Station, which was the first stop in Brooklyn.

Public Notice Middle Neck Road Water Main Replacement Project

As part of its continuing capital improvement program to maintain and upgrade its infrastructure, the Water Authority of Great Neck North will soon begin a major project to replace an over 100-year-old water main on Middle Neck Road.

Middle Neck Road will be impacted from Cuttermill Road to Cedar Drive and Wooleys Lane to Brokaw Lane (with the potential to expand to Beach Road).

Once completed, the project will improve the Authority’s ability to provide an adequate supply of drinking water during peak demands and improve fire flows to hydrants during emergency situations.

The Authority has mailed letters to residents and notified business that will be impacted to inform them of the pending project. The work, which has been over one year in the planning, is expected to begin on October 19 and take a minimum of six months to complete, depending on weather conditions and any unforeseen obstacles.

Those traveling in the area should expect traffic delays, lane shifts, sidewalk closings and limited or no parking along Middle Neck Road and on connecting roads throughout the construction period and active construction zones. A traffic control plan will be provided and managed by the Authority’s contractor, with any detours or changes to traffic flow meeting the approval of county, town and village officials. All required and essential equipment and personnel will be utilized, with no road closings planned. When traversing the area, the public is reminded to slow down, keep their eyes on the road, watch for construction crews and abide by road sign and markers.

The Authority will continue to coordinate closely with its engineers and contractor to ensure that construction is undertaken with the least amount of disruption to adjoining properties and the traveling public and so Authority officials are able to provide timely, responsive communication and outreach throughout the project.

Although road closures are not anticipated, villages, fire departments and police departments will be updated continuously should road closures and detours be required as the work progresses. The Authority will provide a weekly update link on the home page of its website at www.waterauthorityofgreatnecknorth.com with helpful information for the public, such as water shutoffs and lane closures.

Occasionally, driveways may need to be blocked for short periods of 2 to 4 hours. Those affected will receive advanced notice so they can move their vehicles to an unobstructed location. Additionally, temporary water shutoffs will be necessary along portions of Middle Neck Road and adjacent, connecting streets, with advanced door-to-door notice provided, unless an unexpected emergency occurs.

When water services are restored, it is common to temporarily experience brown/discolored water, which should subside quickly. The process can be accelerated by ONLY running the cold-water faucet from the lowest point in the house or building – usually the basement or first floor – until the water runs clear.

As with all construction projects, any utility—not just water—can be accidentally impacted during construction which is why the Authority and its engineers and contractor are working closely to avoid such situations.

While water service interruptions will be limited as much as possible, they are necessary to expedite completion of the project.

The Authority, its engineer and contractor will work diligently to keep any disruptions to a minimum and are confident that the end result of this much needed project will be a significant improvement to the public water system.

Residents with questions, concerns or special needs should contact the Authority at 516-487-7973, ext. 4.

How To Treat Breast Cancer Patients have more choices now than ever before

BY EMILY SAUCHELLI esauchelli@antonnews.com

A

ccording to The American Cancer Society, the average risk of a woman developing invasive breast cancer is 13 percent and as a woman ages, the change of having breast cancer increases. Treatment options have advanced over time and the patients—no matter what age— have a variety of options at their disposal.

There are three kinds of treatment pathways for women with breast cancer , which warrants a multi-disciplinary approach. The first being, surgery, the second, radiation oncology and the third, medical oncology. NYU Winthrop Hospital’s Perlmutter Cancer Center has a team of experts— who work together side-by-side to solve the puzzle that is breast cancer.

When trying to treat breast cancer surgically, doctors have specific procedures. Dr. Shubhada Dhage is the director of breast surgical services and director of the breast health program at Perlmutter.

She said there are two kinds of surgical procedures that can be used as methods to remove the cancer.

“A patient can have what we call breast conservation, which means that we are conserving the breast and the patient can keep their breast and we removed only the tumor,” Dhage said. “The term for that is called lumpectomy. The other type of surgery a patient can have is called a mastectomy— when we remove the entire breast. We can do what’s called an oncoplastic lumpectomy to sort of reshape the breast to make sure that the contour of the breast looks good. We [can] do a lumpectomy or we do what’s called a nipple sparing mastectomy, where we try to hide the scar of a mastectomy and we keep the whole envelope of the breast.”

There have been advancements in the way breast cancer surgery is performed now versus years ago. Dr. Dhage said today’s method is much more effective for the patient.

Dr. Nina D’Abreo, at the Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Winthrop Hospital, explains to a patient the pathology of breast cancer.

“One way that has changed how we perform the surgery is before almost every patient had a long wire placed in the breast at the time of surgery in order to help a surgeon do [the] breast conservation or what we call lumpectomy,” she explained. “That patient’s day is somewhat longer. They have to undergo a procedure on the same day of surgery and it’s not as convenient. Now, we can place special markers in the breast, so that in the operating room, we can identify those markers either using a radar device or an ultrasound or a nuclear probe to identify exactly where the tumor is.”

Dr. Amy Solan is a radiation oncologist at NYU Winthrop Hospital and said radiation is

performed after surgery—after a lumpectomy or after a mastectomy.

“After a lumpectomy, we will need radiation to that breast to lower the risk of cancer coming back in the breast,” Solan explained. “Although, obviously there are exceptions.

After a mastectomy, some patients do not need any radiation. Some patients we see have risk factors in the pathology, like positive lymph nodes or positive margins, large tumor size, things that may indicate a higher risk of cancer coming back either on the chest wall or in the nearby regional lymph nodes.”

Dr. Solan said advancements in radiation treatments are becoming more of a reality

for patients.

“Years ago, everybody would get 25 or 30 radiation treatments that are given on a daily basis,” Solan explained.

“Now we’re doing our best to do shorter courses. [We do what] we call hypo-fractionation treatments. An example of the hypo-fractionated breast treatment might be 15 to 20 treatments to the whole breast.”

According to Dr. Solan, the Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Winthrop Hospital is currently conducting a clinical trial to try and lessen the amount of treatments a patient would receive under radiation.

“We have an open protocol where we’re treating just with

a single treatment for selected breast cancer patients,” Solan adds. “This is in conjunction with physicians at UT Southwestern Medical Center.”

Dr. Nina D’Abreo is a medical oncologist and the medical director of the breast health program at Perlmutter.

D’Abreo’s role involves not only treating the patients with breast cancer, but she also aides the patients after their treatment.

“As [medical] director most of my function is to actually create processes within the program that allow [survivorship] this to happen,” she explains. “[Our breast health program] allows patients to have a seamless travel journey, right from diagnosis and then survivorship.”

In terms of what a doctor’s role is in medical oncology, Dr. D’Abreo said medical oncologists work to treat the patients entire body.

“We are the providers of what becomes systemic treatment,” she explained.

“One way I look at it and I tell my patients, ‘think of it as a seed in the soil.’ The seed is the breast where the cancer is and radiation and surgery kind of work there. We treat the soil. We treat all of you, because cancer cells have a tendency to spread and go other places.”

Dr. D’Abreo added that there are advancements being made in the medical oncology field.

“The clinical trials that are ongoing are really trials to see how we can optimize or make cancer therapy better and minimize the use of chemotherapy, both in the setting of women with what we call early stage breast cancer before it has spread,” D’Abreo said. “But also in women with what we call metastatic or advanced breast cancer.

It’s a list of trials, which are comparing either established drugs or drugs that are new in the market. [It’s] experimental in phase two or phase three trials, where we’re trying to make people live longer and to minimize side effects.”

One of these research studies includes triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Dr. Annette T. Lee, an associate professor at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research has done quite a bit of research on cancer cells.

Lee got her start working on the genetics of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and inflammatory bowel disease at The Center for Genomics and Human Genetics as an assistant professor.

Now, as an associate investigator and director of the Laboratory of Translational Genetics, she has

created her own area of research looking into the genetics of cancer.

Triple-negative breast cancer got its name because the specific tumors associated with this type of cancer do not express the estrogen receptor, the progesterone receptor, and the human epidermal growth factor receptor.

These three receptors are specifically the ones oncologists target when using chemotherapy. This makes triple-negative breast cancer especially hard to treat.

“It’s not just cancer cells, it’s other types of normal cells that the tumor incorporates into itself,” Dr. Lee said.

This type of breast cancer occurs more often in younger women who are Hispanic and African American and have the BRCA 1 mutation.

“The statistics change year to year, but it is about 250,000 women who are diagnosed with breast cancer,” Lee

said. “Ten to 20 percent of those have triple-negative breast cancer.”

The focus of Lee’s research, which started about 10 years ago, is to find out what makes triple-negative breast cancer so aggressive and to identify those tumors that have a high likelihood of recurring.

Currently, Dr. Lee and her colleagues are collecting tumors and looking at all the cells to identify which cells are important and why they are important.

To do this, they took tumor tissue from seven women who had triple-negative breast cancer who had a recurrence within five years of their first surgery and tissue from nine women who had triple-negative breast cancer and were cancer-free after five years.

What they found after comparing the gene expression profiles of the

women who had a recurrence and those who did not was that the tumors were very different. With this observation, they now know they need to find out what about these genes causes tumors to be more aggressive.

“If you can identify what those genes are and what they do, then you can develop a targeted therapy or you can target those cells that over-express certain genes,” she explained.

The Facts Of Medicare How the process works and when to enroll

What is not covered under Medicare Parts A and B? Medicare Part A and Part B does not cover the following: acupuncture, cosmetic surgery, dental exams, dentures, eye exams including prescription glasses, hearing aid exams and fittings, as well as long-term care—for those who are unable to perform the daily activities without assistance.

BY EMILY SAUCHELLI esauchelli@antonnews.com

What is Medicare?

Medicare is health insurance for people ages 65 and older. However, there are some exceptions to that rule.

Medicare also provides coverage for those with disabilities, who are under the age of 65, if they meet certain criteria. Medicare recognizes those who are under the age of 65 and have illnesses such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) , a disability, or end stage renal disease—more commonly known as kidney failure.

What does Medicare cover?

There are three main parts that make up the Medicare system.

Part A covers hospitalization. Part B covers outpatient procedures and doctor visits. There are penalties later on if you don’t elect a Part B plan when you start with Part A. Lastly, Part D is for prescription drug coverage. For Part D, it’s important to check which medications are covered and which are not under the plan you choose, so you can

This option pays for 80 percent of medical costs but you will still need a supplemental insurance plan to cover the remaining 20 percent of financial responsibilities.

The second option is called managed Medicare. Managed Medicare

plans are typically offered from private insurance companies. Some examples of managed Medicare insurers include UnitedHealthcare, or Aetna. But there are many others to choose from, so it’s important to find the right plan for you— that meets both your financial expectations as well as your health needs.

When can I sign up for Medicare?

For those of you who are turning 65 this year, it is vital that you investigate your options. If you are already have either a “fee for service” Medicare plan or a managed Medicare plan, you have the ability to make any changes during the enrollment period.

If you decide to make a change to your Medicare plans, your new plan will begin on Jan. 1, 2021. Open enrollment for Medicare begins Oct. 15 and ends Dec. 7.

Stroke Of Good Fortune Westbury man is a medical pioneer

BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

M

ichael Robbins opened his mouth, and no words came out.

The Westbury business man and world traveler was in a Buenos Aires hotel room with his wife Diane this past February. They were getting ready to go downstairs and meet their tour group for dinner.

“I was mid-sentence and I just stopped talking. I couldn’t say anything,” Robbins related. “My wife is a physical therapist and she’s very familiar with stroke patients and those types of scenarios. She realized right away that I was having a stroke.”

Robbins was taken by ambulance to what he called “the best private hospital” in the Argentine capital. He spent six days and started recovering almost immediately, quickly regaining his speech.

But it was a scary moment. And a battery of tests did not reveal the cause of this medical episode.

The couple has been to every continent but Australia and Antarctica.

They were in Argentina en route to the icy continent, scheduled to take a cruise from the resort city of Ushuaia.

Located at the southernmost tip of South America, it is also known as the “End of the World.”

Ironically, Robbins’ cardiologist, Dr. Jay Kugler, had recommended the

Antarctica tour after taking it himself in December.

The couple had taken out trip insurance, and the tour operator, Tauck, flew a rescue nurse in from Houston.

He accompanied them back to New York on a regular commercial flight.

The experience has made Robbins reexamine his globetrotting ways.

Asked if he would like to try again to reach Antarctica, he replied, “The fact that I had the stroke in February and they haven’t really identified any reason for why I had it makes me reticent to travel that far from good

hospitals. Not that I didn’t have good care in Buenos Aires.”

He added, “Given that I’ve done a great deal of travel, I think I’m going to curtail it for the time being at my age.”

Dr. Kugler, based in Great Neck and associated with Northwell Health, arranged to have Robbins wear a Holter monitor, an electrocardiography device to record the heart’s electrical activity. It looked for signs of arrhythmias or irregular heartbeats.

One of these is labeled atrial fibrillation and is a leading cause of strokes.

The Medtronic Reveal LINQ II is a potential game changer in cardiac monitoring. (Medtronic photo) Though it can operate for hours at a time, the Holter can easily overlook irregularities that take place infrequently, as was suspected in Robbins’ case.

Globetrotter Robbins runs NexGen Enviro Systems based in Lindenhurst. According to its website, it provides “on-site solvent recycling, recovery and distillation capabilities.” Robbins said his firm helps companies, such as those involved in the defense industry, deal with solvents, many of which pose a danger to the environment and require special machinery to recycle and dispose of.

“I import machinery from Italy,” he said. “When I bought the company 30 years ago and I started making trips to the factory, my wife and I would make side trips throughout Europe. We just expanded over the years to more exotic places.”

He mentioned traveling throughout the north in India, from Shanghai to Beijing, Scandinavia, Russia, and much of southeast Asia and South America.

Antarctica and Australia are the two continents left,

and Robbins said that he doesn’t know if he was up to doing them now. Australia involves spending up to 20 or more hours in flight, and potentially exposes one to a condition called deep vein thrombosis. This is a blood clot that typically forms in the legs and can be potentially fatal if it travels to the lungs.

He and Diane lived in Jericho for 41 years and recently downsized to an apartment in Westbury.

They also own a house in Boca Raton, FL. Robbins said that “When I look in the mirror I still think that I’m in my 40s and 50s,” but the stroke was sobering.

He bikes when he’s in Florida, but he claims he’s “not a big exercise freak.”

He and Diane have two sons, Jason (Michael’s business partner) and David, a urologist in North Miami, FL. They have three grandchildren, Olivia, Talia and Brandi.

Benvenuto A La Nonna Bella How chef and owner Lino De Vivo is living his dream

Chef and owner Lino De Vivo at La Nonna Bella (Photo by Emily Sauchelli)

BY EMILY SAUCHELLI esauchelli@antonnews.com

Lino De Vivo came to America with one goal in mind—to open an authentic Italian restaurant—one that would remind him of his hometown. De Vivo is from the southeast region of Italy known as Puglia and grew up in a town called Conversano within the city of Bari.

G

rowing up, De Vivo took on a variety of jobs in the summertime. He worked at a barbershop and at a catering hall.

Ultimately, he found his passion to be within the culinary industry.

“When I decided to pick the direction that I wanted to be [in] I signed up myself for hairstyling,” he explained. “Two weeks before the school actually started, I went to sign up for culinary school and I realized that I loved to do that. Because of

being in a five-star catering hall, I saw a different way of seeing the restaurant [industry]. There were different ways to do it. So, I signed up for that. And then I fell in love with the actual job and I pushed myself to become a restauranteur. My dream always was to have a restaurant and here we are.”

De Vivo attended culinary school in Puglia. He earned his degree from I.I.S.S. Consoli Pinto, Instituto Alberghiero e Tecnico Commerciale

di Castellana Grotte. At 21-yearsold —after being in the army, which was mandatory at the time—De Vivo came to America for vacation. He decided to plant his feet in America as the opportunities were far greater than in his home country to begin his culinary journey.

“In Italy, life is beautiful; you enjoy the life and everything, but it’s hard to move up, unless you come from a very wealthy family and that wasn’t my case,” De Vivo explained. “We were okay, but not wealthy. So, I decided to move over here [to America] and go forth with my dream.”

La Nonna Bella translates to ‘the beautiful grandmother.’ The menu

reflects fresh Italian food with an emphasis on the flavors that you would expect to find in the Puglia region.

“The food from Puglia is so versatile because you are by the water and you are also inland,” De Vivo described. “You got from the gamey meat inland to all the different seafood and fish by the coast, and me growing up five kilometers from the coast, it was right in between the water and the mainland, so I was exposed to both of them so I try to include those ingredients into my menu. I want to keep my roots alive here in the states. I want to show off my customs

see LA NONNA BELLA on page 4B OCTOBER 14 - 20, 2020 • FALL DINING GUIDE | 3B

LA NONNA BELLA from page 3B and where I come from.”

All of La Nonna Bella’s cuisine is made fresh and made to order. De Vivo uses only the finest ingredients for each dish. Every year, De Vivo goes back home to Puglia as part of a business trip to discover fresh and new ingredients to put on La Nonna Bella’s menu.

“A lot of my friends, they own restaurants, own cafés, own bakeries or hotels,” he explained. “All of my family is there. Every summer, I make a point to send my kids with my wife.

We all go so they can know my roots, my customs, my family, my parents, my grandparents and they see the style of life. When I go back there, knowing all those people, reuniting with everybody we exchange ideas. They want to know more about the cooking style over here and of course I want to be more into the new style of cuisine in Italy. That’s why we exchange ideas, recipes, tips and ingredients.”

De Vivo does in fact have his favorites on the menu. His favorites include appetizers, cestino di fava e cicoria and salame di cinghiale. In the entrée category, he enjoys cavatelli conversanese. For dessert, his favorites are sporcamuss and gelato. Cestino di fava e cicoria is fava bean purée and chicory on crostino with fried onions. Salame di cinghiale is wild boar salami with De Vivo’s own spin—walnuts, apples, shaved parmigiano cheese and truffle honey. Cavatelli conversanese is a pasta dish made with handmade cavatelli, carmelized onion, fava beans and spinach. Sporcamuss is a classic Italian dessert, which is a puff pastry filled with Italian pastry cream atop mixed berries and powdered sugar. Lastly on De Vivo’s list is gelato, which comes in a variety of flavors at La Nonna Bella.

La Nonna Bella has been under the ownership of De Vivo and his wife Erica for 11 years, along with a partner. He became the owner of the restaurant through an interesting chain of events.

“I was working for this place and it was called already La Nonna Bella,” he said. “They were in business for about a year. I decided that I didn’t see any future over here in this restaurant for me with the previous owner. I decided to move on to another place. I had a great opportunity that I could take, but before I did that, I asked the previous owner, ‘I’m going to leave. I have this great opportunity, unless you want to sell this place to me. I love the name. I will keep the name, because everyone has a beautiful grandmother.’ She agreed with me and I took over the place.”

ITALIAN ESSENTIALS

Think Like An Italian Chef

Top three items you need in your kitchen

BY EMILY SAUCHELLI esauchelli@antonnews.com

Every cook has their staple ingredients that they use on a daily basis. If you’re looking to cook Italian food, there are three ingredients that you should always have on hand. Using these ingredients will make you a star in your kitchen. Once you try these staples, you’ll never want to go back to your previous cooking ways again.

Garlic Garlic is one of the single most-important ingredients you will need if you are cooking Italian food. Almost every recipe calls for it as it works to enhance sauces, can act as a topping and adds immense flavor to any dish. Fresh garlic bulbs are the best to use, however if you’re in a pinch, store bought minced garlic works just as well.

It’s best to keep garlic refrigerated once you open it and you can always put some in your closet to store when you need it.

Use garlic sparingly though as ‘a little goes a long way.’

Extra-Virgin Olive oil Olive oil acts as the base to many Italian dishes. Buying quality olive oil is important as the flavor is what gives your dish a leg up. Olive oil can be used in a variety of ways such as sauces and dressings. The best kind of olive oil to get is olive oil from Italy. You know it is the best and the freshest when it is made in the motherland. If you can’t find olive oil that is from Italy, look for the quality of the oil you’re buying. The

better the quality, the better the oil tastes. Also, if there is a sale on your favorite olive-oil—stock up. It’s better to have more than not enough.

Mozzarella Cheese Mozzarella cheese is one of the best cheeses to use in Italian cooking. Whether it is fresh or pasteurized, this cheese adds a ton of flavor to a variety of dishes. It’s important to have fresh or pasteurized in the fridge because you never know when it might come in handy.

Mozzarella pairs well with wine and crackers, tastes delicious on pizza and is a great melter.

The options for using mozzarella are endless.

There are so many variations, you can truly make any dish your own.

Little Device With Big Implications

After wearing the Holter for several months, he said, nothing unusual showed up.

It was time for the next generation in heart monitors.

New And Improved

On July 7 of this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the Medtronic Reveal LINQ II, a small wireless cardiac monitor. The device is injected just under the skin and gives continuous feedback on infrequent heart rhythm problems. It has a battery life of between 4 and a half to 5 years and can be monitored remotely.

On July 17, Robbins was at the Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital at North Shore University Hospital, part of Northwell.

He was going to be among the first patients in the world to have the LINQ II implanted.

“I had to wait for it to come in by UPS,” he recalled. “I waited in the procedure room and was discussing travel and restaurants with all the medical staff in the room waiting for them to get it.”

The device, he said, was the size of a paper clip, and inserting it took less than three minutes.

“It’s nice to be a pioneer,” Robbins reflected. “They told me I didn’t even have to bring my wife to take me home. I went back to the dressing room and got dressed and I had to wait for the doctor to come in and explain how to hook up the monitor. You just plug it in and it starts up immediately.”

There was no recovery period whatsoever, he said.

“They told me to go about my business,” Robbins affirmed. “They gave me a card for airport security use, but no one is flying anyway so it doesn’t matter.

And they told me we probably won’t get questions about [the device].”

The procedure team was led by Laurence M. Epstein, MD, who is Northwell’s director of electrophysiology.

Robbins, who had no known risk factors for the stroke, said, “I consider myself lucky to be alive—if my stroke didn’t happen in a large city during my travels things could have turned out differently.

With the new cardiac monitoring device, I now have reassurance if I have an alarming heart symptom it will be picked up immediately.”

According to Dr. Epstein, “The health system manages many thousands of patients with implanted cardiac devices through the Northwell Remote Monitoring Center. Specially trained technicians and nurses review the transmitted information and communicate with each patient’s physician. With the center in place, it allows us to quickly respond during the current coronavirus pandemic.”

D

r. Laurence Epstein used the word “game changer” often during an interview with Anton Media Group recently.

The head of the electrophysiology unit at Northwell Health, he performed the first implant this past summer of the Medtronic LINQ II, a cardiac monitoring device of uncommon size and capability. His initial patient was Michael Robbins of Westbury, who suffered a stroke of undetermined origin.

“It’s potentially a game changer,” he said of the device. “Right now, it’s an iteration of existing technology with improvements.”

Existing cardiac monitors have different capabilities, but they all fail in one big way—in the crucial measurement of heart rhythm, they might miss very infrequent irregularities. The LINQ II, with an improved battery, provides wireless, remote monitoring for up to five years.

“The other advantage is that the algorithms are much better at differentiating different arrhythmias,” Epstein observed. “We can also change the settings remotely without having to do [an invasive] procedure.”

A press release noted that the device also registers “the frequency of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) or extra beats from the lower chamber of the heart.”

The remote setting, Epstein stated,“is going to be the game changer in the sense that right now the things we put in people like pacemakers and implantable defibrillators, when you need to reprogram them you have to come in for surgical procedures. This is proof that you can do it. You will start with this device, but I suspect it’s going to move to defibrillators and pacemakers in the future.

That component is novel and may ultimately be a game changer when it gets applied to other devices.”

As far as preventing strokes, the most crucial of arrhythmias is atrial fibrillation, he said, describing it as “when the upper chambers of the heart go crazy and blood clots therefore form. The heart is not actively squeezing, so blood can

pool in the pouches that are in the upper chambers and fly off and cause a stroke.”

The device might also aid people who suffer mysterious fainting spells; detecting arrhythmias may lead to the proper detection and prevention.

Robbins’ episode, Epstein said, “is called a cryptogenic stroke, when we don’t know why it occurs.

One of the things that you want to know is if they’re having unknown episodes of atrial fibrillation.”

He added, “Some people who have a-fib a very symptomatic— they get heart palpitations or they feel their heart rate increasing. The large number of patients with a-fib do not have symptoms. You want to know that in a person who had a stroke because it will change your patient management. You will put them on oral anticoagulants [blood thinners] like coumadin and new agents like eliquis or xarelto.”

Epstein said the LINQ II, despite its size, has another attribute.

“On the back it has this clear ceramic or sapphire, and down the road that is going to allow the company to place all kinds of sensors on it,” he pointed out. “Right now, it only monitors the electrical activity of the heart. It’s conceivable that this could be a platform that you can put on a glucose monitor for diabetes. You can put in an oxygen saturation monitor to monitor people’s respiratory status. There are things that could foretell heart failure so you can intervene before they have to come to the hospital.

It’s a platform for many things that

may really change how we manage patients remotely. This is even more valuable in the COVID-19 era.”

One of the baleful consequences of the pandemic, especially in its early stages, Epstein said, was that people were dying unnecessarily because they were not seeking medical care for things they were normally sick from.

“The advice they were getting was ‘stay home, don’t go near hospitals.’ So we found that people were dying of heart attacks because they weren’t going to the hospital or were afraid to go there,” he said.

“Or people were getting much sicker than they should have.

Having a technology that allows you to monitor people remotely, especially in the COVID-19 era, is going to be hugely beneficial.”

Electrophysiology, he said, started in the late ’80s, and “a lot of the stuff we do today has really evolved over the last few decades.

I’ve been very fortunate that my career has spanned that and I got to play a part in helping to develop a lot of the stuff that just didn’t exist before, whether is was catheter ablation or implantable defibrillators and all the monitoring devices did not exist.”

LINQ II, he stated, does not involve invasive surgery.

“You make a teeny nick in the skin, and there’s this plunger device that injects it under the skin. So you really don’t need to be a surgeon to put this in. It’s really easy,” he said.

Epstein noted that there has been progress made against heart disease in general with better outcomes and people living longer. He mentioned preventative things like diet and exercise, and the introduction of medicines that have lowered the rate of heart attacks.

“The treatment for heart failure has dramatically evolved,” he concluded. “We’re putting in defibrillators that save people’s lives that were dropping dead previously. There are all kinds of new medications, whether it’s beta blockers, ace inhibitors and now entresto. All make a difference not only in terms of people’s length of life, but in their quality of life, which is really important.”

Encouraging Healthy Eyes For Back-To-School Amid COVID-19

s the back-to-school season is in full swing, it is an ideal time to get your child’s eyes checked and focus on healthy vision habits.

This takes on added importance given the pandemic, which has prompted many people to spend more time on digital devices and required a move to distance learning for millions of students nationwide. In fact, children now spend an average of 13 hours per day on digital devices, potentially contributing to digital eye strain and increasing the risk of nearsightedness among young people.

Children may be especially at risk, as their still-developing eyes generally allow for more high-energy blue light to reach their retinas. Additionally, children may hold devices closer to their face, leading to a higher amount of potentially harmful blue light exposure.

Good eye health is important for everyone and especially for students, in part because 80 percent of what children learn is through their eyes.

With that in mind, here are three eye

health tips to consider.

Reduce the risk of digital eye strain: Digital eye strain may be caused by prolonged use of computers, smartphones or tablets, potenDr. Scott Edmonds. tially causing (Photo courtesy of symptoms such UnitedHealthcare) as sore, tired, watery or dry eyes, headache, or sore neck, shoulder or back. To help reduce the risk, encourage your child to practice healthy vision habits by keeping computer screens at least 30 inches away from their eyes, resting their eyes every 20 minutes and blinking frequently to avoid dry eyes. Practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take 20 seconds and look at something 20 feet away. Getting outside and away from digital screens may also reduce the risk of nearsightedness, which

affects 41 percent of Americans—up from 25 percent in 1970. Also, look for digital devices that include blue-light blocking technology or obtain glasses with premium anti-reflective coating, which may help prevent potentially harmful reflective glare and reduce the risk of digital eye strain.

Look for warning signs of eye issues: The inability to see clearly may affect a child’s physical, emotional and social development, which in turn may affect academic and athletic performance and, ultimately, self-esteem.

Unfortunately, sometimes children may not be aware and won’t complain if their vision isn’t normal, so it’s important to look for possible signs of vision problems. Red flags may include squinting while reading or watching television, difficulty hitting or catching a ball while playing sports, or issues watching 3D movies such as discomfort or dizziness. These potential warning signs may indicate an underlying vision problem that might require glasses or other treatments from an eye care professional.

Get a comprehensive eye exam: The American Optometric Association recommends that a child’s first comprehensive eye exam should occur between six months and 12 months, again at age three and before entering school at age five or six. It’s important to remember that a school’s vision screening is not a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam. Vision screenings at school usually focus on measuring acuity levels and might miss common conditions such as poor eye alignment, focusing problems and farsightedness. Plus, a comprehensive eye exam may uncover other health conditions not usually associated with the eyes, including diabetes and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

As families plan health and safety strategies, including immunizations and the flu vaccine, considering these tips may help make sure your child is ready to learn–either in person or remotely.

How Does Your Skin Look?

T

he skin is the window to the body and many systemic diseases manifest with specific skin findings. Many liver problems will manifest on the skin and an astute observer can diagnosis liver conditions by carefully examining the skin.

Unfortunately, most skin findings are overlooked in the current medical era unless a person is specifically evaluated by a trained dermatologist.

Therefore, a good understanding of the skin manifestations of liver disease will prepare the non-dermatologist for more accurate and improved diagnosis of liver disease.

Yellow Skin Yellowing of the skin or jaundice is perhaps the best-known skin finding seen in liver disease. When liver disease, regardless of cause, leads to a rise in the levels of bilirubin in the blood, the skin can

turn yellow. The higher the bilirubin in the blood, the deeper yellow a person’s skin may become. When people with liver dysfunction are unable to adequate produce clotting factors and/or have low platelet counts, easy bruising becomes common.

Therefore, frequently noticed

ecchymotic areas so called “black and blues” may also be a sign of liver disease.

Skin Findings Palmar erythema or “liver palms” is a nonspecific red discoloration of the palms and fingertips of the hands associated with liver disease.

About 25 percent of people with cirrhosis will have this finding that has been attributed to abnormally high serum estradiol levels. One of the more interesting common skin findings in people with liver disease is called spider nevi or spider angiomas.

These are anomalies in the small blood vessels, in which a central arteriole is surrounded by smaller blood vessels, which radiate from its center. This gives an appearance resembling spiders’ legs, hence the name. These are caused by a failure of the musculature surrounding the arteriole to contract. Spider

angiomas are classically in the upper chest. While spider angiomas do occur in healthy people, the presence of more than five “spiders” is highly suggestive of underlying liver disease.

Nails Nails can show changes suggestive of liver disease.

Terry’s nail is a physical finding in which affected nails have a bed that is white or pink with a distal transverse band that is pink to brown in color. The degree of pallor of the nail bed and the darkness of the distal band can predict how long the underlying disease has affected the patient. Of course, this is hard to determine if the patient comes to the office wearing nail polish.

Rashes Liver disease does not lead to rashes, but rather rashes can be a manifestation of a systemic process. Hepatitis

B, however, can cause the development of recurrent papular eruptions and skin nodules. Hepatitis C has been associated with such skin conditions as lichen planus, cryoglobulinemia and porphyria cutanea tarda. Primary biliary cholangitis commonly causes xanthelasma, a yellowish deposit of cholesterol underneath the skin most commonly seen around the eyelids. Most interesting, hereditary hemochromatosis causes a bronzing of the skin and affected people look as though they have a suntan.

This is diagnosed by looking at the non-sun exposed areas of the body to ensure that no tan lines are present.

It is important to have one’s skin checked regularly, not just for the development of skin cancer, but also for skin changes that can be present in other systemic disease states such as liver disease.

Local Photographer Creates ‘Porchtraits’ Of Long Island Families Initiative raises funds for NYU Winthrop Hospital

A physician assistant (PA) in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit at NYU Winthrop Hospital, who went above and beyond the call of duty for COVID-19 patients, was the inspiration for a Garden City photographer to find her own way to give back. Paulina Vastardis, the sister of the PA, specializes in family and portrait photography.

She joined a nationwide initiative, “Front Porch Project,” that takes socially distanced photos of families on their front porches, snapping the photographs at no cost to the families but instead accepting donations for good causes.

In the case of Vastardis putting her talent to good work, she took ‘porchtraits’ of more than 100 Long Island families, who were at least a 10-foot distance from the camera, on their front porches. By doing so, she raised $5,000 for NYU Winthrop, which included donations from 10 additional families who contributed

NYU Langone On List For “100 Best Companies”

NICU nurse educator recognized as “2020 Working Mother of the Year

N

YU Langone Health has been named a Working Mother “100 Best Company” for its forward-thinking workplace programs including women’s advancement, parental leave, child care assistance and work flexibility. As part of the recognition, NYU Winthrop Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurse educator, Leticia Rios, RN, MSN, has been named NYU Langone Health’s “2020 Working Mother of the Year.”

The honoree, a mother to a five-year-old daughter, works in NYU Winthrop’s NICU where she serves as a nurse educator for more than 120 nurses on current evidence-based practices to improve patient outcomes. She is also a volunteer for Birth Justice Warriors, a Long Island organization aimed at decreasing the disparity of maternal-infant health outcomes among minorities.

“As the daughter of immigrant parents, academics were not supported when I was a young child,” Rios said. “I recognized the need to take control of my future and am now very proud to have achieved considerable milestones in my nursing career while not losing sight of my motherhood and parenting responsibilities.”

Rios is currently pursuing a PhD at Adelphi University and utilizing NYU Langone’s tuition

with difficulty receiving support to exclusively breastfeed. Recognizing that breastfeeding has the power to reduce the incidence of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality, she became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and established a business to increase the initiation and duration of breastfeeding in women of color.

She facilitates the “Brownsville Baby Café,” now conducted via Zoom due to the pandemic, to provide breastfeeding support—and address food insecurity and access—to women in underserved communities and shelters.

In addition, she educates staff in physician offices on how to become breastfeeding-friendly and has created networks to connect mothers with doulas, home-visiting programs, and midwives to reduce maternal and infant outcomes.

Rios balances the professional development of NICU nurses and her passion for supporting underserved women with raising her daughter, striving to influence Jordyn’s trajectory and success for the future by exposing her to early childhood education. Jordyn this month began attending a “Gifted and Talented” school program, and excels at reading, gymnastics, swimming and ballet.

The Horrors Of Early Onset Alzheimer’s

Ice Cream In the Cupboard film reflects disease’s reality

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

A

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

ccording to the Alzheimer’s Association, up to five percent of the more than five million Americans with Alzheimer’s suffer from early-onset familial Alzheimer’s disease (EOFAD), afflicting patients between the ages of 30 and 60. Its devastating impact is well familiar to Great Neck resident Pat Moffett, whose late wife Carmen started showing signs of EOFAD when she was only 53. Mood swings, forgetfulness and hostility led to an EOFAD diagnosis that drove Moffett to eventually institutionalize his spouse before she succumbed to the disease 14 years later in 2010. The pain and anguish are shared in Moffett’s self-published book Ice Cream In the Cupboard, an account of his and his family’s traumatic journey that was adapted into a 2019 film of the same name. For the father of five, both projects serve as a public service to those dealing with the horror of EOFAD. “The biggest takeaway [from the book and film] is that it’s possible to get this disease at a young age and it’s dangerous for the caregiver,” Moffett explained. “If that’s the case. I’d like for them to learn how to protect themselves. I want to make sure that caregivers realize that their lives could be in danger from either being hurt by the loved one or the fact that they’ll run themselves down and die on their own.”

The film stars Dana Ashbrook (2017 Twin Peaks reboot) as Moffett, Claudia Ferri (AMC’s The Killing) as Carmen and Jaimie King (Pearl Harbor, Sin City) as Dr. Giselle Cohen, who first diagnosed Carmen with EOFAD. The movie opens with the future married couple meeting Carmen and Pat Moffett while Moffett was on a sales call, where he (Photo courtesy of Pat Moffett) mistakenly assumed Carmen was a secretary versus the office manager of the company he was visiting. his seat while his wife stormed off. After chasing The narrative eventually leads to his wife Carmen down and assuring local police everyhaving significant lapses in memory and lashing thing was okay after he caught up with her, the out about incidents that had happened years couple returned to their hotel room. ago. A number of scenarios were derived from “Carmen laid down in the bed while I went real-life anecdotes including a scene where out on the terrace and had four of the fastest Ferri’s Claudia mashes a plate of cake onto her cans of beer in my life,” Moffett recalled. “I husband before storming off. In reality, this was shaking from head to toe. I had no idea was adapted from a scenario where Moffett and what just happened. Carmen came out on the his wife, who had been bickering at the time, terrace, said she was starving and asked when I escaped for a romantic weekend getaway to her was going to feed her. She wanted to know if we Puerto Rican homeland where they were having were going to go out to dinner. I said I tried that dinner at a gorgeous seafood restaurant in San and that she threw food at me. She said she’d Juan. Dining on an outdoor veranda, Moffett was never do that to me and that I sometimes joke commenting on a number of vintage cars parked around too much. She also wanted to know outside when his spouse suddenly hit him with how I got all that [crap] on my shirt. My mouth a plate of steak and lobster forcefully enough to opened and I didn’t know what to say. We were knock the 6’3” Vietnam veteran backwards off on the first plane the next day. I never felt so

alone because something was happening to me that I couldn’t imagine happening to someone else. I had no idea what this was. Like everybody else, I thought you got Alzheimer’s when you were around 80.”

Carmen was eventually diagnosed with EOFAD. As her condition deteriorated, the toll of being a caregiver started to take its toll on Moffett, his family and finances, as he had to cut back on his work hours and eventually had his spouse committed.

“When they put Carmen into a full-time center for three weeks, the doctors told me to stop now because I was a mess,” he said. “I’d lost weight and my heart rate was not good at all.

Carmen was beating up other patients in the Alzheimer’s daycare center I had her in. This ate up my savings—it was $600 a week for the daycare center so I could go to work. She was just punching out 90-year-old people where we could have been sued. Both the center and family of the Alzheimer’s patient can be sued. These people understood and knew the disease, so we didn’t have to deal with that. That was a very difficult time.”

The film reflects the reality of EOFAD’s effects on the patient and their family in a way that’s led to it being positively received. It was one of 50 films chosen out of 6,500 entries at the 2019 Rhode Island International Film Festival, where it won Best Feature Film Narrative and the Best Feature Film Audience Award. While Moffett is proud of these accolades, he’s most satisfied by its portrayal of EOFAD. “The other films that have been done on Alzheimer’s—The Notebook, Still Alice, Away From Her—were excellent movies with terrific actors, but they missed the mark on the violent behavior,” he said. “I think they missed the mark because they barely have any agitation in them.

That’s why I think Ice Cream in the Cupboard takes it up a notch in terms of what really goes on in that Alzheimer’s world when it comes to the violent behavior.”

Ice Cream In the Cupboard can be viewed on Amazon Prime, Google Play, Xbox, YouTube and iTunes/Apple TV.

Massapequa High School Principal Barbara Lowell (far right) congratulated National Merit semifinalists Devin DiMascio (left) and Brendan Deneen. (Photo provided by Massapequa School District) Massapequa High School seniors Brendan Deneen and Devin DiMascio have been named semifinalists in the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Program. They are among 16,000 students nationwide who earned the distinction based on their performance on last fall’s PSAT. Deneen and DiMascio have challenged themselves academically in taking numerous Advanced Placement courses and they noted that the level of difficulty and accelerated pace of these classes has instilled in them an even greater work ethic.

As both students begin the college application process, they hope the distinction of National Merit semifinalist will help them get into prestigious colleges. DiMascio wants to attend a school in the Northeast with a strong pre-medicine program, as she aspires to become a neurologist. As a

member of the Health Care Explorers club, she has had the opportunity to visit different medical facilities in the region.

Deneen wants to turn his interest in math and problem solving into a career in computer programming or software engineering. He said is looking at colleges that have strong programs in those areas.

To become finalists, Deneen and DiMascio must complete a detailed scholarship application with information about their academic record, participation in school activities and community service, leadership abilities, employment and honors and awards received, in addition to writing an essay and receiving a recommendation from a high school official.

Finalists will then vie for approximately 7,600 National Merit scholarships, which will be awarded in the spring.

POLICE REPORT Gun And Drug Arrest In Massapequa Seventh Squad detectives report the arrest of two males that occurred on Oct. 4, at 9:45 p.m. in Massapequa.

According to detectives, Nassau County Criminal Intelligence Rapid Response Team (CIRRT) observed a black Acura traveling southbound on Dover Street at a high rate of speed and failing to maintain its lane. The officers activated their emergency lights and conducted a vehicle and traffic law stop at 102 Colonial Drive after the vehicle also failed to use a signal. During the investigation, officers recovered a handgun under the driver’s seat. A substance believed to be marijuana was also recovered. Eighteen-year-old Ariel Serrano Ochoa and 20-year-old Kaliem Tharpe were arrested without incident.

Tharpe’s 8-month-old child was in a rear passenger car seat of the vehicle.

She was released into the custody of her mother at the scene.

Serrano Ochoa is charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, second-degree unlawful possession of marijuana, endangering the welfare of a child, speeding and failure to signal.

Tharpe is charged with

second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, second-degree unlawful possession of marijuana and endangering the welfare of a child.

Both defendants were arraigned Oct. 5 in Mineola.

Fatal Accident In North Massapequa The Homicide Squad reports the details of a fatal auto accident that occurred on Oct. 4, at 12:28 a.m. in North Massapequa.

According to detectives, officers responded to the Seaford Oyster Bay Expressway near the Boundary Avenue exit for a serious auto accident involving a motorcycle. The investigation determined that a 2017 Kawasaki motorcycle being driven by a 29-year-old male was traveling northbound in the center lane when he struck a 2015 Honda sedan in the rear. As a result of the collision, the male driver suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The driver of the sedan, a 58-year old female, was transported to an area hospital for treatment of her non-life-threatening injuries. The identity of the male is being withheld pending family notification. The investigation is ongoing.

Robbery In New Cassel

The Third Squad is investigating an attempted robbery that occurred on Oct. 2 at 11:35 p.m. in New Cassel.

According to detectives, an unknown male entered Mr. Chens Garden, located at 1004 Prospect Ave. Once inside, the subject held a bag over his hand simulating a firearm while demanding money from the 30-year-old female employee. When the employee refused, the subject walked through the door leading into the kitchen and shoved her to the ground. The subject attempted to grab the cash register before exiting the premises without proceeds in an unknown direction. The victim was not injured.

The subject is described as a male Hispanic with black hair. He was wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans with tan work boots. No further description

is available.

Detectives request anyone with information regarding the above incident contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-8477 or call 911. All callers will remain anonymous.

HER VIEW Our exclusive interview with The View’s ’s Sara Haines

BY ANTHONY MURRAY

H

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

aving been a fan of the show for years, The View’s Sara Haines never could have imagined that one day she would be sitting at the table in front of millions of viewers across the country discussing some of the hottest daily topics in politics and entertainment. Originally a government major in college, Haines said that she fell into the world of journalism accidentally—and what a happy accident it was.

Although socially distant for now, Haines is filming in The View studio.

THE VIEW continued “My motivation was accidental; it wasn’t really journalism,” Haines said. “I came to New York because I enjoy doing comedy. I was studying the business of television as a NBC Page and ended up at The Today Show. I had a front row seat to some of the best journalism going on and I pride myself more as a storyteller because I learned under Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford for some time. Then I came in the side door, I’d like to say, to journalism so I’ve had the honor of sitting next to some of the best in the business.

I’ve learned by their experiences, but I have so much respect for the craft because I wasn’t trained the same way by hitting the ground in local markets and building my way up. I hesitate to use that term [journalist] to describe myself.”

Fans of the long-running daytime talk show were elated to hear last month that Haines would be returning to the panel as a permanent co-host after originally leaving to co-host ABC’s newest show GMA Day with Michael Strahan.

“I’d like to say that I never wanted to leave The View in the first place,” the Iowa native explained. “I got an opportunity that so few people get and I don’t even know if I could have dreamt big enough because TV lineups are rarely changing and to get an opportunity to do a show with the great Michael Strahan was kind of a pipedream of sorts, so when that came up there was no answer, but ‘hell yes.’ When GMA Day didn’t work out due to so many factors including the pandemic, to be lucky enough to sit back at this table for a second time was amazing.”

Since The View, which is currently in its 24th season, reaches millions of people every day and with social media running rampant with vitriol these days, Haines said she has learned to develop a thick skin while working in the business, especially when giving her opinion is part of her job description. So do those angry trolls who may reach out to her via social media pay her any mind?

“I’d be lying if I said no it never bothers me because as a people-pleasing middle child, I think I’ve always been a peacekeeper of sorts

in whatever company I’m in and learning to develop a thicker skin has been something that I’ve learned on the job,” Haines said, who is also a mother of three. “The only thing that can top those very angry trolls is my integrity, my character, the way I was raised and the way I hope to raise my own children, so that will give you a ferocity and bravery. But I still control what I look at and what I don’t because I feel delicate at times to be swayed by strangers and I don’t want to give away my power like that. So I often don’t check Twitter regularly unless I’m in a pretty brave mood.”

Although co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Meghan McCain and Haines are currently separated and working remotely due to the pandemic, Haines said it is the behind the scenes antics that she holds near and dear to her heart.

“I remember one time trolling Joy because we had this little booth where money was given away and we all rotated standing inside of it,” Haines recalled. “Joy was a little nervous about going in and I didn’t realize how delicate the topic was, so I called her room pretending to be someone from the crew and told her that I wanted to give her forewarning that it got a little warm in there and the door got stuck sometimes, and that during rehearsals someone did get stuck in there, but not to worry and that they fixed the door. She panicked and refused to go in there all of a sudden. That is the ornery sibling in me having way too much fun at work. I spent the whole morning prepping to prank her instead of prepping for the show. But when I found out that she freaked out my boss was really upset and I thought, ‘Sara that is so unprofessional.’ She eventually laughed about it, but I have more fun having access to these people.”

Haines also recalled a funny incident with Goldberg and some of the other members of the crew that involved a chair stool.

“I listen to whatever Whoopi plays on Alexa,” Haines said. “One time we were debating whether Ariana Grande could really do her album

cover where she was sitting on this little stool, so we started to do it. Whoopi heard us laughing and she comes into the makeup room and then proceeds to do it with us. We were all saying there was no way she [Grande] could have done this and we’re falling off this stool. Honestly, my heart is full at the moments no one ever sees of all kind of antics that go on behind the scenes.

So yes, I very much feel that I’m at a disservice by being separated by these people right now.”

So what does Haines think it is about The View that makes it so popular amongst viewers?

“I’ve been a fan of The View since it began, so I think Barbara Walter’s foundation of the show of brining women of different walks of life and ages to come and share their views and to discuss, debate and disagree is such a rich opportunity,” she said. “I was always glued to the television watching the changing faces and the changing topics. I think I became more indebted as the topics became even more important and relevant as they added politics about five or six years ago. This is the way women talk. As a woman in my regular life as well, when I have a glass of wine with friends, I’m joking around about things I saw on social media and talking about my kids, but I’m also talking about things that matter and are important. So to have a show that shows the many faces of what we all are as layered human beings it is just rich with relatability. I think that’s why I watched it as a fan and why I’m honored to sit at the table.”

And with an extremely contentious election season, a global pandemic that has so far killed 210,000-plus Americans, ongoing talks about racial inequality, protests and riots, Haines said she hopes for a calmer 2021.

“I really hope that things calm down,” she said. “In some ways, depending on the outcome, I don’t know how they can. I think the scariest part is not just the specific issues, it’s the temperature in which everyone is operating at. The world is ending on either side of the spectrum and we’re all self-righteously handing a torch that we’re willing to betray reasonable

minds and conversation at the chance of saving everyone, and I think that’s a dangerous place to be. I think the temperature has to come down however that is, so we can resume the responsibility of fixing problems with cooler minds.”

And with the global pandemic still ongoing, Haines said that she is focusing more on self-care and her family, and recently started her own

Instagram show called Straight Up With Sara.

“I’m endlessly curious about attaining a reasonable life with my kids and teaching them lessons about their duties to Mother Earth, but also skin health,” she said. “I want to age gracefully and I’m not blind. I have a mirror and I see my body changing. I love fitness and I love books. I’m a veracious fiction reader. So I selfishly started

my own show [on Instagram] like everyone else, I don’t tend to have more than 10 viewers at one time, but I just want to selfishly talk about things that I’m interested about and hope that people join me who are interested too. So it’s not a massive project, but it’s a selfish personal project.”

State of the Art Cosmetic Surgery Centers from Manhattan to The Hamptons.

Now is the perfect time to have the cosmetic surgery procedure that you have been dreaming of. Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg has been on the forefront of cosmetic plastic surgery for over 27 years providing high-tech solutions at his well-appointed and accredited surgical centers on Park Avenue in Manhattan as well as in Woodbury, Smithtown and Southampton on Long Island.

Expect beautiful facilities that include cutting edge medspas, injection lounges and modern, spacious consultation rooms.

Diet and exercise are the best ways to help stay healthy and keep in shape, but supplementing a healthy lifestyle with cosmetic surgery procedures will leave you in the best shape that you can be in…healthy and beautiful, both inside and out! Let Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg, M.D., be your guide. This nationally renown plastic surgeon has appeared in many magazines, on television, as well as hosts his own radio shows.

Using only the latest technology and most current procedures, Dr. Greenberg meets the needs of every patient, from today’s top stars to the ‘soccer mom’ next door. Breast augmentation, breast lifts and breast reductions provide beautiful, natural looking results. Combining these procedures with liposuction, tummy tuck, body lift, facelift, eyelid lift or other non-surgical services is most effective.

Regardless of which procedures you select, the focus of Dr. Greenberg is to make his patients as happy and as beautiful as they can be by turning back the hands of time in a caring, safe and supportive environment.

The latest techniques have been perfected to offer Breast Augmentation patients a truly “rapid recovery.” Minimal swelling and bruising, coupled with a notably decreased recovery time, have

resulted in proven patient satisfaction.

Recognizing the need for patients to quickly return to their normal activities, “rapid recovery” ensures both excellent results and faster recovery time.

The hottest surgical techniques to make you look younger include eyelid lifts, facelifts, deep laser resurfacing, and rhinoplasty. A facelift, mini lift, lower lift, or full lift, with or without Plasma, will take years off of your appearance. A facelift removes excess skin, rejuvenates the neck and lifts the jowls while restoring a more youthful look for both men and women.

Injections work quickly to eliminate facial lines and wrinkles (including Botox® Cosmetic, Juvederm and Restylane®) and when coupled with non-surgical skin tightening and skin rejuvenation treatments, ensure phenomenal results!

As the seasons are changing, now is the perfect time to seek help with those last few inches that you can’t seem to lose. Body contouring can be the answer to reshaping those undesirable areas of your body. The SmartLipo™ MPX, is ideal for the neck, jawline, arms, breasts, “bra fat,” abdomen, “love handles,”“saddle bags,” inner and outer thighs, and knees. The recovery with SmartLipo® is very fast.

Another avenue to consider is having a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty). Especially effective postpregnancy in a Mommy Makeover or after significant weight loss, this procedure improves abdominal contouring, and can have you in great shape in a very short period of time. Abdominoplasty is very effective in reducing or eliminating stretch marks, skin excess, and for correcting weakening of the abdominal muscles. Most women who have had children and those women and men that how had weight fluctuations will have some laxity of the abdominal wall and will experience excellent results.

Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg offers complimentary consultations at his Park Avenue and Long Island locations.

WINK, JR., TOWN CLERK 10-14-2020-1T-#219082-GN LEGAL NOTICE PLEASE TAKE NOTICE The Board of Trustees of the Village of Great Neck Plaza has passed the following local law amending the zoning code at their regularly scheduled meeting held on Wednesday, October 7, 2020 which reads as follows: Local Law No.4 of the year 2020 The Village Board of Trustees previously enacted Local Laws 3 and 4 of 2018 to encourage and facilitate the construction of affordable housing units in the RT and RD zoning districts of the Village. In order to qualify to lease such affordable units, potential tenants units were required to meet both minimurun and maximum hou ehold income levels. The Board has now deermined that, if minimum household income levels are eliminated it will increase the pool of persons who are eligible to lease such units and will make such units availble to be leased by those households most economi-

cally in need of them, which the Board finds to be a worthwhile and desirable goal that will benefit the Village and its residents. The Village Board of Trustees therefore hereby adopts this local law.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). People close their eyes as a reflex to avoid what their brain believes they may find difficult to process. This can be a physical reaction or an emotional one. The heart can also be like an eye with an eyelid that can close either voluntarily or involuntarily. You’re ready to see a little more. Will yourself to look.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You listen. You show interest. You fight the urge to refute opinions that stink on ice. “That’s interesting,” you say, “I hadn’t thought of it that way.” Next, do you bother to share your thoughts, too, or do you, realizing how far apart you are, mosey along? This week, that will be the decision with the most consequence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). While many around you strive to obtain more of the good stuff, you’re drawn to a different approach. You want to absorb your surroundings fully, observe acutely and understand the nature of things and how they work. In focusing on your experience of things, you might accidentally get more of the good stuff.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You can be both effective and comfortable, but you can’t be creative and comfortable -- at least not this week. Creativity is born of displacement. It rains on you as you traverse strange territories. It wraps around your interaction with new people, and it throws you a life raft when you’re out of your depth.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Expansive emotions like love, passion, interest, curiosity and compassion allow you to take in more, whereas restrictive emotions like fear, anger and sadness block the senses and limit what you’re able to learn in a given situation. Being a fast learner has to do with training yourself into expansive emotions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your kind of fun is the right kind for you.

Affirm it. Make an effort to find people with similar interests. Otherwise, you’ll wind up wasting time this week in mismatched arrangements, being lonely in the group because they’re enjoying what you just can’t get into.

You need a few friends who really like what you like.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Each person operates according to a unique perception of the world, viewed and known only to themselves. Honor your process and don’t worry too much about how others are doing it. Assume that however they get it done, it’s right for them. Meanwhile, being you comes with some nifty perks this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This thing you’re in is a marathon, not a sprint. You’re going to need strength in its slow-burn form. Call on your powers of endurance, also on anything else that could ease the way for you.

Would music help? A cheering squad? A coach? It will also help to put your vision of the victorious end on replay.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People fall into bad habits of complaining and trauma-bonding over a shared disapproval of the status quo. You win by resisting the temptation to join in. The solidarity of griping comes at too high a cost, reinforcing a sense of helplessness. Problem-solving and action are better bonding agents.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be training someone. When you’re teaching, things take at least twice as long as they would if you did it on your own, but in the end, you’ll have quality support -- not to mention the pride of having passed on knowledge or skill. The success of others will be your success in more ways than one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You never can know how others are experiencing you. Even when you get feedback, it’s tempered by social expectations and may be far removed from the feelings and sensations you stir in another. Still, this week, you’ll get quite enough evidence to feel sure that you are having the intended effect.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve been reticent to try and get what you feel you deserve from a situation because you feel it’s better to have a little of something than a lot of nothing. Do not be afraid to exhaust your options because what you’ll discover is that there are always more options.

Stony Brook Basketball Prepares For Thanksgiving Return

BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

onths of uncertainty in the college sports realm are starting to see some clarity.

And it starts with college basketball.

The NCAA recently announced men’s and women’s basketball can return on Wednesday, Nov. 25, the day prior to Thanksgiving. Each individual institution can decide what its schedule will be. Men’s basketball can select a 24 or 25-game season, while women’s hoops will have the choice of playing 23 or 25 games.

While Stony Brook University has not announced its basketball schedule, the Suffolk County-based school is gearing up for the return of fall sports.

The NCAA originally postponed the start date to Nov. 10, but felt it is safer for schools to bring back basketball as student bodies across the country leave campuses for Thanksgiving break.

At Stony Brook, all students 8

and community.”

But the biggest acquisition for the Seawolves is junior guard Juan Felix Rodriguez, who transferred from Monroe College. He tallied 18.5 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game at Monroe.

Former Mount St. Mary’s forward Omar Habwe is also playing for Stony Brook now, where he’ll be a key guard as a senior. He’ll likely play more at Stony Brook than he did with Mount St. Mary’s, where he averaged just 18.5 minutes per game.

The challenges will be tough for Stony Brook to overcome in this unusual season. However, the mere fact that there will be basketball played on Long Island is something for everyone to be excited about.
