Massapequa’s Lawsuit To Bring High School Sports Back Is Dismissed BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

he Massapequa School District wanted fall sports to get going. So the district sued Section VIII, which controls high school athletics in Nassau County. But the district, which specifically argued it and others in the region can bring sports back in a safe way, did not make its case strong enough. Nassau County Supreme Court Justice Jack Libert dismissed Massapequa’s case, saying Section VIII is following the law set by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo said in late August that some sports can return in the fall, but the Section VIII superintendents voted against bringing fall sports back with the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. “They said we weren’t following our constitution and they pulled the trigger a little too fast, I believe,” Section VIII Executive Director Patrick Pizzarelli said in an interview. “It Massapequa’s football squad cannot play this fall after 22 of the school’s fall and winter teams earned scholwas their board of education that did ar-athlete team recognition during the 2019-20 school year.

Congressional District Four Seat Is Up For Grabs BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

With Election Day just two weeks away, the race for New York’s 4th Congressional District, which covers the communities of Bellerose, Bellerose Terrace, East Meadow, Elmont, Floral Park, Garden City, Mineola, Carle Place, New Hyde Park, South Floral Park, Stewart Manor, Wantagh, Westbury, and other towns and villages, is heating up. Recently, Democratic incumbent Kathleen Rice and her opponent Republican Douglas Tuman answered a series of questions from Anton Media Group about this year’s upcoming election on Nov. 3.

Can you tell readers a little bit about yourself?

A

I was raised in Garden City alongside my nine brothers and sisters. I’ve spent my entire career working as a public servant, the majority of which as a prosecutor. I began my career as an Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn, where I prosecuted cases of domestic violence and gang activity before joining the office’s elite Homicide Bureau. In 1999, I was appointed an Assistant U.S. Attorney, where I worked as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Philadelphia office. In 2005, I was elected as the Nassau County DA. As the first woman DA in Nassau, I worked hard to support women’s rights in every facet of our society—in the workplace, in our health care system and in education. Those are issues that I’ve continued to fight for in Congress.

Kathleen Rice hardest-hit areas in the country and the current uptick in cases as we enter the cold weather seasons is troubling. I held weekly conference calls with small businesses in my district with the SBA and local experts to help navigate the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and other programs available.

Q A

Q A

I am a proud Hempstead resident and father to my 6-year-old daughter, Frania. For the past four years, I have served as the commissioner of engineering for the Town of Hempstead. I earned a bachelor of engineering degree from Stevens Institute of Technology and a JD from Hofstra Law. I am a licensed attorney and professional engineer. Now running for political office for the first time in my life, I am committed to serving as a representative of action that amplifies the voices of our residents. Over the past few months, I have visited every town in our district to meet our residents and hear about the issues that they care about. Last week, I launched an Every Town Tour to again visit every town between now and Election Day, so I can stay updated on the concerns and pulse of our communities. I am running because I am a candidate committed to action and representation for all residents in our district. I have developed detailed, ready-to-implement policy proposals to lower taxes, make college more affordable, protect and reform Social Security and promote recovery from COVID.

Q A

Why did you decide to run?

I am running because our district has been left voiceless and vote-less for the last six years as our Congresswoman has missed more than 161 votes in Washington D.C. As a result of Rice’s persistent absence, New York has been taken advantage of in D.C. as we pay $26.6 billion more in federal taxes than we get back in federal funds each year. That is funding that should be going to improve our local schools, roads and small businesses as they recover from COVID. Over the past few months, I have been to every town in our district to hear the issues that our residents care about. It is about time we have a strong leader that shows up and speaks up to advocate for the issues that our district cares about. In Congress, I will support our law enforcement, secure COVID relief funding for our district, lower taxes, lower the cost of

Douglas Tuman higher education, lower the cost of prescription drugs, support Israel and support our veterans. If elected, what are some of the key points you’ll focus on? The key points that define my campaign include delivering COVID relief to small businesses and residents; supporting our law enforcement; making Long Island more affordable through my six-part tax reform plan and promoting small business growth, reforming higher education through my Degree-in-Three Reform plan; investing in and improving local infrastructure; protecting and reforming Social Security; supporting Israel as our ally; supporting our veterans; and addressing climate change with private sector technology, development and innovation. I encourage all residents of NY-04 to visit www.douglastuman. com/issues or call/text me directly at 516-308-1703 to further discuss. How would you help combat COVID-19 if elected? I would work across the aisle to immediately deliver financial relief to small businesses, families and citizens in the form of standalone stimulus payments. That would mean one bill that directly delivers support to small businesses and $1,200 stimulus checks to each eligible citizen—no strings or unrelated political objectives attached.

Town Of Hempstead Announces Major Tax Changes Amid Pandemic

empstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin and the Hempstead Town Board adopted a bipartisan 2021 town budget that freezes total town taxes, slashes expenses and controls debt at manageable levels. Clavin’s tax-freeze budget of $453.5 million was presented to the Town Board and the public recently with a goal of preserving jobs. The 2021 budget was adopted in a bipartisan, unanimous vote by Clavin, Senior Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby, Councilman Bruce Blakeman, Councilman Anthony D’Esposito, Councilman Dennis Dunne, Sr., Councilman Tom Muscarella and Councilman Chris Carini. Indeed, the 2021 adopted budget freezes the town tax levy at $253.1 million, at the same figure in the 2020 financial document. “Under this budget, we will accomplish our mission to preserve town programs and services while demonstrating the highest regard for

taxpayers,� Clavin said. “It is incumbent In addition to the $253.1 million in on government to lead by example at all property taxes to be levied under the times, but especially as families struggle budget, non-property tax revenues during difficult economic periods like include $25 million in mortgage the current Coronavirus pandemic, recording revenues, $3.8 million in which was so abrupt and per capita state aid and unexpected. $19.7 million in refuse This 2021 spending disposal revenues. plan demonstrates Committed to fiscal responsibilproviding superUnder this budget, we will ity that respects lative services by accomplish our mission to taxpayers as the a talented, preserve town programs town will freeze effective and lean and services while the total property workforce, demonstrating the highest tax burden borne Clavin, the town by residents.� board and the regard for taxpayers. —Hempstead Town The supervisor CSEA Local 880 Supervisor Don Clavin issued a challenge to enacted a severance the town’s commissionincentive that resulted in a ers and department heads costs savings of over $6 million to cut spending and reduce costs in salaries and benefits. for their agencies, while preserving With more than 1,795 full-time services.

On his first day in office, Clavin slashed the supervisor’s staff payroll in half, by nearly $1 million. The Town of Hempstead continues to control debt to manageable levels. Indeed, debt service, projected at $59 million or 13 percent of the proposed 2021 budget, has decreased by 1 percent, as compared to the 2020 budget. What’s more, the town board worked together to refinance debt, which realized a savings of $750,000 for taxpayers. “By freezing total town taxes, we are doing our part to ensure that the taxpayers are not on the hook for mandated and unanticipated expenses,� Clavin said. “Instead, we are utilizing smart budgeting practices within our management and operations, incorporating all available revenue sources and remaining fiscally sound.� —Submitted by the Town of Hempstead

Great Neck Library Welcomes New Interim Director

he Great Neck Library family is pleased to welcome George Trepp as Interim Director. He was appointed to this position by the Board of Trustees at the Sept. 30 board meeting, and began on Oct. 6, 2020. Trepp brings to the Library a wealth of experience in the library world. He holds a Masters in Political Science and a Masters in Library Science from Pratt Institute. What began with a position

as Information Assistant at the New York Public Library, led him to become a Library Trainee in the South Bronx where he then gained a position as Librarian. Trepp’s first appointment as Library Director was at the New Brunswick Free Public Library in New Jersey. To follow, he would have a rich history as Director of the Long Beach Public Library, from which he retired in 2015 after a tenure of 38 years. Anton Media Group would like to remind our readers that the CDC recommends people to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds to combat the coronavirus. Need a timer? Hum the Happy Birthday song from beginning to end twice.

While at Long Beach Library, Trepp navigated through many challenges and project accomplishments. Over the course of 10 years, he oversaw the encapsulation and removal of asbestos in the Library. He managed a major renovation and expansion of the Main Library in 1997. In 2012, he guided the Library through to a recovery from Superstorm Sandy. Trepp worked around the clock with staff to restore basic services for the community. Trepp expressed several goals that he has for the Great Neck Library while Interim Director. He will be overseeing the Main Library and capital projects at the Station and Parkville Branches. He said he also will be overseeing a plan for the reopening of the Library during the

ith COVID-19 still around, village officials and members of the Mineola Chamber of Commerce came together at village hall last week to introduce this year’s inductee to the John S. DaVanzo Wall of Honor. Usually dedicating one person a year to the Wall of Honor, this year was a little different when the chamber and the village honored Mineola’s essential and front line workers. The plaque is dedicated to the village’s essential and frontline workers who continued to work during the COVID-19 pandemic, which ravaged the communtiy and the country when they could have simply stayed at home. “They saved countless lives in our hospitals; they kept

stores open so we could eat; buy cleaning supplies and retrieve our medications,” the plaque reads. “They kept our lights on; they kept our drinking water clean and flowing; they kept our streets clean from rubbish and disease; they risked their lives so we could continue to live ours and feel safe. The entire Mineola community thanks each and every one of them.” The John S. DaVanzo Wall of Honor is the brainchild of former chamber president Tony Lubrano. “There are a lot of things that make this village exemplary,” Lubrano said at the dedication ceremony. “Some people can say the worldclass hospital, the transportation hub that we have here, the highly-awarded library, but I believe it is the people. Specifically, the people on this

He added, “The committee wanted to acknowledge our DPW workers, our store workers who continue to make sure that we eat, the lights go on, the garbage gets picked up—all of the things we take for granted from day-to-day continue. All of those essential workers and frontline workers is what the committee wanted to recognize. For 2020, the essential frontline workers are the people that we’re going to recognize this evening.” After unveiling the plaque to the small gathering, Mineola Chamber of Commerce president Joel Harris offered some closing words. “Next year, we’ll hopefully go back to where we’ve been,” he said. “They talk about a ‘new’ normal and this is not a new normal for me. We want to see everyone back in here shoulder-to-shoulder, elbow-to-elbow, and recognize our next person next year.” What did you think of this article?

you think about emergency responders, first responders, essential workers of today that we celebrate that got us through this pandemic, people check every box of John DaVanzo and understand what he did. He didn’t just join the fire department, he was there in its infancy. He helped make it what it is [today]. Strauss, who is also a first responder, a part of the Emergency Services Unit (ESU), and a well-decorated officer within the NYPD, who also responded to 9/11, said that it is never easy to just pick one recipient a year for the Wall of Honor. “This year, because of what’s going on with the pandemic, it makes it even more difficult,” he explained. “The committee met with all these applications and weighed a lot of things. And because of the significance of the events that we’re going through here, they decided to recognize not one person, but a group. We have a group of food service workers, we have a group of firefighters, police officers and first responders.”

he Padre Pio Prayer Group of Westbury may be small (about 22 faithful) but their members will tell you that the strength of their prayers is mighty. Many miracles and several intercessions among members of the Westbury community have been attributed to Saint Pio. Gia Montelbano, who organized the group’s annual prayer evening, recounted how her father was called to Italy by Saint Pio to find a statue for a shrine in Westbury. That miraculous moment and the project it sparked led to the creation of a grotto that now stands near St. Brigid’s Church. Due to the pandemic, Montelbano assumed there wouldn’t be a Prayer Evening this year. The event typically begins with the “Rosario” (Rosary) in St. Brigid’s Church, followed by a procession through the Breezy Hill neighborhood, and a Mass back at St. Brigid. Montelbano was thrilled that the village approved the outdoor event and the Nassau County Police Department officers were available to assist with traffic control. The result was a moving Mass co-officiated by

Elissa Nuñez of Westbury recently spotted a deer in the sump by Parkway Drive in Westbury, north of the Northern Parkway. Her father Alex, an employee of Anton Media Group, asked Westbury Mayor Peter Cavallaro about the sighting and he responded, “Yes, for the past few years, a family of deer has lived in that sump and a few others have been seen along the parkways a few times. I’ve also heard of fox sightings recently, and it won’t be long before coyotes are on Long Island, according to some wildlife people.” Anton Media Group reached out to the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), and a DEC spokesperson replied, “Since the 1980s, Long Island’s deer population has increased. The growth is evident in annual buck-sighting rates and harvest numbers reported by hunters. The deer population is growing throughout eastern Suffolk County and deer have expanded their range and increased in number in western Suffolk and Nassau counties. Seeing deer as far west as Westbury is unusual but not unexpected. Deer are more common on Nassau County’s

Unveiling Hicksville’s Future BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

ot on the heels of a study the Long Island Regional Planning Council (LIPRC) commissioned to analyze the renaissance the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale has experienced over the past decade comes a plan developed by the Nassau County Department of Public Works (NCDPW) focusing on the downtown transit strategies for Hicksville’s revitalization. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran presented the Downtown Hicksville Complete Streets Project. Composed of eight recommended projects, the plan aims to improve the accessibility and safety for all modes of transportation, including motorists, pedestrians, transit riders and cyclists. The report was created with input from the Town of Oyster Bay, New York State, the LIRR and NICE bus to ensure each recommended project complements and supports ongoing revitalization efforts. The planning phase of the project included a traffic impact study, design concepts for Complete Streets improvements for the project area and outreach and engagement of residents and other stakeholders in Hicksville, the Town of Oyster Bay and Nassau County. For Curran and the project’s partners, the idea is for these projects to serve as a critical link amongst all ongoing efforts, helping to make Downtown Hicksville a better connected and more economically resilient area for people to live, work and play. “Championing the development of vibrant, walkable downtown destinations near transit to attract new residents and businesses has been a priority of my administration since day one, and I am very proud of the progress we’ve made on this front,” Curran said. “With Hicksville being the largest and one of the most centrally located transportation hubs on Long Island, we cannot drag our feet on realizing the enormous potential for this area. With all parties at the table, I am confident we

can continue to collaborate on our shared vision of a revitalized, sought-after business district, as we look to fast track our economic recovery.” The report is the culmination of months of collaborative work with Hicksville residents, business owners, elected officials and community partners and incorporates feedback from two public meetings with approximately 100 attendees as well as a walking tour and online interactive feedback tool. The recommendations are also based off the county’s comprehensive analysis of the area’s existing conditions. This included the assessment of current land use patterns, collecting traffic/pedestrian counts and conducting a traffic analysis of the project area, while accounting for proposed municipal zoning amendments and planning efforts.

p for re-election this year in District 7 is Senator Anna Kaplan (democrat) and vying for her seat on the senate is Port Washington resident and former police commissioner, Dave Franklin (republican). In a Q&A style format, The Port Washington News asked Franklin and Kaplan a few questions regarding policy, their goals if they get into office, the New York State deficit, as well as how they can help NYS best manage COVID-19.

Franklin: We need to take a closer look at the wasteful spending in Albany. $470 million Hollywood Tax Credits, $100 million for incumbents running for re-election and a recent audit by the Comptroller revealed that there are hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars in Medicaid waste and fraud.

Tenth Annual All Kids Fair Goes Virtual

he 10th annual All Kids Fair, which was postponed from its usual month of April to Nov. 8, has now gone virtual. An expo, which draws thousands, could not take place due to COVID-19, but rest assured a great time can still be had by all members of the family online. This year’s All Kids Fair, which will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., will have a great line-up of virtual classes for the kids of all ages with some for the adults, too. Some of the many kids’ classes will be: Incredibles Entertainment, Science Party, Captain America Entertainment, Intro to Chess and an Adventure Style Class. For the adults, there will be classes on essential oils, avoiding sugar in your children’s diet and financial planning. Since families always enjoy our petting zoo, this year there will be several virtual live animal visits, where farm animals such as sheep, goats and a mini-donkey will be the stars. In addition to being educational, the “visits” will be highly entertaining. Another new addition to this year’s event are coffee talks—opportunities for parents to interact with others at the same stage of life, such as those with a child who is an infant, toddler, elementary age, middle school age, special needs and gifted. All Kids Fair Director Barbara Kaplan said the time is right to pivot to an All Kids Fair virtual expo. “It’s definitely not just a Zoom event,” Kaplan said. “It is a fullfledged virtual expo. We have incorporated many of the activities of our live events plus some new opportunities such as our virtual live animal visits and coffee talks. We are sure that families will have a great time learning about many classes, services and products available to them.” Multi-year sponsor and exhibitor Jennifer Keegan, owner of Your Local Kids Source magazine, shared her thoughts on this event. “After a year full of ups and downs, we are looking forward to an opportunity to connect with

Long Island parents and help them find the resources their family needs now,” Keegan said. “Things might be a little different but the

virtual All Kids Fair offers the same discovery and family enjoyment as in years past. We can’t wait!” The All Kids Fair will have many diverse exhibitors including party entertainment, tutoring, activities, health/wellness products and services, nonprofits, travel and even a Girl Scout troop. Sponsors for this year’s All Kids Fair to date are: Long Island Parent Magazine, Your Local Kids Source, Jovia Financial, Blank Slate Media, Home Health and Spirit, Fidelis Care, SAT/ ACT Sense, Clowns.com and Law Offices of Cohen and Jaffe. It is free to visit the All Kids Fair exhibitors. It is $10 for a general admission ticket (one per device), which also includes the classes for kids and adults, virtual live animal visits and coffee

talks. Tickets can be purchased at the event platform at www. Accelevents.com/e/AllKidsFair. Those interested in participating are encouraged to visit www. AllKidsFair.com. The All Kids Fair is an annual event organized by Specialty Connections. It showcases services such as schools, after school activities, places for kids to play, camps, day cares, kid-friendly products such as toys and books, and health/wellness products and services.

Village Of East Williston Offers Safe Halloween Alternative The Village of East Williston, in conjunction with the Village Recreation Committee and The East Williston Public Library, is offering safe alternatives or enhancements—depending on an individual resident’s personal level of comfort—to traditional Halloween activities. The village will have a parade of costumed characters parading through the village from noon to 2 p.m. on Halloween. There will be an individual distributing candy from the parade. The village is working on logistics, but intends to be able to confirm that the individual distributing the candy will take a COVID-19-test in advance and will test negative before distributing the candy, which will be individually packaged. Details will follow. The village will also have a Halloween themed drive-in movie on the evening of Halloween, which will be child friendly. Details are to follow also on the time and location.

Finally, if you are planning to distribute candy, the village has created a sign that you can place in your door or window on Halloween. The intent is so that trick-or-treaters will only knock on doors of people who wish to participate. This will allow those not participating to not have to answer the door. The sign can be found at www.eastwilliston.org.

Go to Forms and Applications on the left of the home page and find Safe Halloween. The library is working on plans for children to pre-color these printouts and leave them in the library if a resident wishes to pick up a pre-colored flyer for their own use. —Submitted by Village of East Williston

LETTER TO THE EDITOR ADHERING TO THE GUIDELINES OF THE WESTBURY PTA COUNCIL I read with interest the expressed contempt for the Westbury Board of Education written by PTA Council President Gloria Rosenau in the Oct. 7-13 edition of the Westbury Times. Rosenau was not pleased with the fact that the board conducted a continuation of a virtual meeting on the religious Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur, Sept. 28, and did not hold back in condemning the board for this oversight. She stated that this mistake

was consistent with the board’s lack of integrity and was a continuation of the disgrace the BOE is to the community. She further stated that it was time for a change and that certain members must be voted out in the next election (2021) as no apology from the BOE would be acceptable. As one who has served in the capacities of president, vice president, secretary and chairman of the Bylaws Committee of Westbury PTA

Council, I am curious as to whether certain rules/guidelines of “PTA Basics” issued by New York State PTA were followed by the writer. Section 4 of the NYS PTA Resource Guide states: “A PTA council provides inspiration, information and instruction for its PTA units and the community in which they serve. Councils may not legislate for the local units—it may not establish rules or take action that involves the local units without their consent...”

It further states that “A council representative may express their own opinion, being clear that it is a personal opinion and not the council’s. Being an officer does not take away the right of free speech.” In light of this stern condemnation, Rosenau owes it to the community to state whether the contents of her letter are her personal opinion or that of the PTA Council in general. —Chester McGibbon

My Mail-In Voting Concerns I admit it. I’m concerned about using a mail-in ballot for the upcoming election. This has nothing to do with political affiliation. There are just too many points of failure in the mail-in process that could possibly invalidate my ballot without me ever finding out. Once I complete that ballot and drop it in my mailbox, I will never know if it was counted or not. In 2016, a total of 318,728 voters across the country were unaware their absentee ballots were rejected and subsequently not counted. There are many reasons for votes being rejected. Still, the top three reasons have nothing to do with the ballots themselves. The top reason is simple. The voter forgot to provide a signature on the envelope. Absentee ballots must be placed inside a specific envelope that is considered an affidavit, requiring your signature to prove you are you. If you don’t sign the affidavit, they don’t even open the envelope. Also, don’t make the mistake of “sealing” the affidavit envelope with tape. That’s an immediate disqualification also. The number two reason is the signature on the affidavit

Hidden Treasures And Civil Discourse My mother started her own business as an antiques dealer when I was in my pre-teen years in the early 1960s. She started by having my father drive her around to gather junk that people left out for sanitation pick up. Most memorable was discarded wicker furniture that my father would later repair and paint. She also looked for newspaper ads and went to people’s homes to negotiate deals for things they wanted to sell such as furniture, artwork, glassware, boxes of books and cards, knickknacks and more. When she accumulated enough old stuff, she’d take it to an outdoor flea market in Englishtown, NJ. That would happen on Saturday mornings. She’d drag along either my younger brother or me to help her load and unload

ANDREW MALEKOFF the family station wagon and keep an eye on her stuff when she wandered off looking for good buys. We had to get up about four in the morning to drive to Englishtown and get a good spot before the flea market filled up with vendors. Afterwards, we’d go out to a diner for a late breakfast. I hated getting up that early. Although it would be a good job for me today, as 4 a.m. is a piece of cake in my advancing years.

In time, she opened her own shop. It was called Antique Evelyn. By that time, she moved her flea market spot from an expansive field in Englishtown to a parking lot in Manhattan, on 26th Street and Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue). The day shifted from Saturday to Sunday, but the time was still pre-dawn. If you got there early enough some wellknown New Yorkers might stop by. Civil rights leader Bayard Rustin was a regular for example. By that time, Antique Evelyn graduated from picking up junk on the street to being invited to estate sales and selling her antiques at the some of the more exclusive antique shows in the New York metro area, like the annual one at the Armory on Park Avenue. She developed a

Recently, I picked up one of the old books that is now on my bookshelf. It is entitled, Putnam’s Handbook of Expression. Its copyright date is 1915, five years before Antique Evelyn was born. It is a small red hardcover book that is dedicated to, “Any person who recognizes herein one of his own original phrases.” I estimate that there are about 100 sub-categories of phrases, subsumed under seven broader areas. In glancing through the categories, I came upon a subject area entitled “critical of persons,” that is almost four pages long. Given the divisive nature of discourse these

days and relative absence of civility, I dove in to see what phrases of yesteryear people fancied to criticize others. I imagined them being used today. Here is a good one that might help reinforce a good rebuttal at the conclusion of a lively argument: “His conclusions are hopelessly detached from his premises.” The following is a must for a fact-checkers looking to accentuate their analysis of one debater or another: “He is charged with exaggeration if not willful distortion of the facts of the case.” Finally, I found a category entitled “optimism” that includes a phrase that represents a sentiment rarely heard or mutually held these days: “May we have a part in bringing in a new and better day.” If only that were true.

Kids’ Mental Health In The Era Of COVID-19 The COVID-19 crisis has created an enormous increase in depression and anxiety for people of all ages. But for children, especially teenagers, the losses have been particularly devastating. Participation in school plays, sports, music and other activities is often central to a young person’s life. These activities help boost self-esteem; promote a sense of independence and confidence; and help create lasting friendships. The pandemic has taken away important milestones such as proms, graduations and many social activities. Although many kids are back in school on a hybrid schedule, the routine is anything but normal. Moreover, many are worried about the health of their parents, grandparents and others. Sadly, some are experiencing profound grief from losing loved ones to the virus and they do not have the supportive experience of attending funerals or conducting religious rituals that help during the grieving process.

including thoughts of suicide. Unlike fleeting bouts of “normal” sadness, serious depression is characterized by a more intense and prolonged feeling of hopelessness and an inability to function in the important areas of one’s life, at school, at home or with peers. Both children and teens are at risk of depression when they experience traumatic events in their lives, such as divorce, Elissa Smilowitz death of a loved one, abuse or illness.

PARENTING PLUS

During the teen years, peers become the number one influence in each other’s lives, but that doesn’t mean your role as a parent is any less significant. You can also suggest they talk to a therapist to help them cope with their emotions. So, while moodiness is a hallmark for adolescents, how do you know when your teen is experiencing depression and might need professional treatment? Here are some signs that may indicate depression: • Withdrawal from friends and family • Anxiety • Low self-esteem • Increased anger • Worry about loss of control • Crying often • Inability to feel joy • Changes in appetite (either increased or decreased) • Sleeping more or less than usual • Feeling tired • Changes in grades or attitude toward school • Having trouble concentrating

• Physical complaints like headaches or stomachaches • Use of drugs and/or alcohol • Expressing thoughts of suicide or wanting to die It’s important that a medical doctor examine your child since some symptoms of depression can have a physical cause such as thyroid problems, diabetes or other conditions. It may also run in families. Remember, if you begin to see several of these symptoms lasting two weeks or more, help is available. Contact North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center via email at intake@northshorechildguid ance.org or at 516-626-1971. Elissa Smilowitz is the director of Triage, Emergency and Suicide Prevention Services at North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center.

The Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education ranked us a Top U.S. College in its 2020 report, based on student success and learning. And Forbes magazine has once again named us one of America’s Top Colleges. 2. 95 Percent of Our Students Have Jobs or Are in Grad School Within Six Months of Graduation. Adelphi students are career-ready by the time they receive their diploma. We’re a Career Development College of Distinction, with a Prep for Success program that provides students with the knowledge, skills and internship experience employers are looking for. 3. Our Academic Programs Produce Highly Paid Graduates. College Factual says that 20 of our academic programs produce graduates who are in the top 10 percent of highest-paid professionals in their field.

lmost every child is going through adjustment periods as a result of the pandemic. However, children with disabilities are experiencing a unique set of adjustments for the new school year. Henry Viscardi School and Vincent Smith School are educational institutions on Long Island for those with disabilities. Both are making sure that every child in their school is comfortable and safe, during these unprecedented times. Henry Viscardi School—located in Albertson—is a part of The Viscardi Center. The Viscardi Center was founded in 1952 by Dr. Henry Viscardi Jr. The center is a conglomerate of nonprofit organizations that work to educate and empower those with a variety of disabilities. John D. Kemp, president and chief executive officer of The Viscardi Center said the school is set up on a strategic schedule. “We are set up for Monday, Wednesday, Friday in person, and Tuesdays and Thursdays, all remote,” Kemp said. “About half of the students

Related services, which are your O.T., P.T., speech—they are being done by our therapists with the help of parents and other family members, who are trying to work with the students directly on what their issue is that they’re trying

to improve upon. That’s really a challenge unto itself.” According to Kim Brussell, vice president of public affairs and marketing at Viscardi Center, the children who attend the Viscardi School are doing well, despite the pandemic. “They were very happy to be back at school and to be seeing their peers,” she said. “What many people don’t realize is that many of our

children—due to where they live because they come from throughout Long Island as well as the five boroughs of New York City all the way up into Westchester, Rockland County—don’t live in very accessible homes or their families do not have accessible vehicles. A lot of our children haven’t been out of their homes since the pandemic hit, so they might have been keeping in touch through social media a little bit here and there. It was really important to get our students back here in person. It’s so much more than the academics; socialization and that social emotional learning that we’re finding was equally as important.” At Henry Viscardi School, kids have a range of disabilities, including some being in a wheelchair. The aspect of touch is something that is necessary in order for students to be able to function on a daily basis. Kemp said students at Viscardi School have a variety of needs when it comes to assisting. “Some need assistance in GI tube feedings,” Kemp said. “They’re going to the to the nurses and the medical

Some kids are very neuro-typical, and they just benefit from a small class. A lot of kids [also] have ADHD.” Vincent Smith School prepared students in advance of the pandemic for what to expect in the classroom. Baldi said Vincent Smith School anticipated the shutdown and planned accordingly. “We made sure all the kids had a device,” he said. “If they didn’t have a device, we sent one home with them in preparation, just in case. We trained them here on what to do. We did test classes of what to expect when you’re at home, how to get on, how to look for the invites, how to utilize Google classroom and seesaw and zoom. We had prepped, and then when we closed, we went right into remote learning.” Baldi said the new setup for the school year is flexible and is based off of each child’s needs. “They’re in class and a hybrid model,” Baldi said. “Some kids are here, and some are home because some are immune-compromised and they can’t come into school. The teachers are all online. They have the kids in class at the same time as they have their class. So the child who is at home is actually part of the class. The kids that are in school have desk dividers. It’s a clear plastic barrier around all the desks, so they’re protected. They will wear masks” The Vincent Smith School has prepared students and parents for the new school year through a multitude of processes to make sure everyone understands the new setup and is comfortable. “I have chats with them here and there,” Baldi said. “It was very important, not only for the kids to be online and learn, but for the families, for me to understand and hope, help the families to be okay and understand their situation as well. Some of them are dealing with losing jobs, losing family members. We wanted to be their support as well.” To learn more about Viscardi Center, visit www.viscardicenter.org.

ADVERTORIAL

Island Drafting and Technical Institute — The College for Careers® Island Drafting and Technical Institute (IDTI) was founded in 1957, and is staffed by faculty members who have had professional and practical experience in the engineering, architectural, CADD (Computer Aided Drafting/ Design) and computer and electronics fields. The Institute is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, and is authorized to confer two-year associate degrees by the New York State Board of Regents. The Institute’s aim is to graduate students who are well trained and technically qualified so that they may enter their chosen field or continue their education at the baccalaureate or higher level. Island Drafting and Technical Institute has over 50 years of leadership and experience in preparing Long Islanders for careers. By staying abreast of the latest developments in the industry, the Institute continues to provide the personal attention students need to succeed. IDTI began life as the brainchild of Joseph P. Di Liberto, a senior design engineer at Republic Aviation in Farmingdale. Working at Republic by day and teaching by night, he started the school, then known as Aircraft Trade School, with just eight students. “Mr. D,” as he was known, handled the admissions, administration, and teaching all himself, with help from his wife, Gloria. After several years, Di Liberto moved the school from its original home in Amityville, N.Y.,

to the location it has called home ever since — 128 Broadway in the Village of Amityville. In June 1959, the school incorporated and its name was changed to Island Drafting School. In March 1973, the name of the school was changed to its current form — Island Drafting and Technical Institute. IDTI was first accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools on January 21, 1967, being on the first list of schools ever accredited by NATTS. In February 1997, the school was authorized by the New York State Board of Regents to confer the Associate in Occupational Studies degree.

The Legacy Of T.R. How ‘the bull moose’ impacted the Gold Coast BY EMILY SAUCHELLI esauchelli@antonnews.com

Theodore Roosevelt accomplished many things in his lifetime. He was someone who left a legacy, particularly on Long Island. Born in 1919, in New York City, Roosevelt was somebody who lived a fulfilling life—although he too had his struggles just like everyone else.

A

s a child, Roosevelt suffered from asthma. Howard Ehrlich, the executive director of the Theodore Roosevelt Association said Roosevelt’s family came out to Oyster Bay—during the summer months—to give young Teddy access to fresh country air. Ehrlich also pointed out, that later in his life, Roosevelt struggled with the loss of his wife, Edith and his mother, Martha, within hours of each other at Sagamore Hill. The Theodore Roosevelt Association is a nonprofit charitable organization—located in Oyster Bay—which celebrates the history

and accomplishments of Theodore Roosevelt. Ehrlich said the association came to be right after Roosevelt passed away. “The president died in 1919,” he said. “A year later, they formed what’s called the Memorial Association, which eventually became the Theodore Roosevelt Association—which was chartered by an act of Congress in 1920. We are the only presidential organization—as far as I know—that has been charted by an act of Congress.” Roosevelt held many hats throughout his lifetime. There are many areas that he took part

in as a leader. In the beginning of his career, Roosevelt served as a member and minority leader in the New York State Assembly, was president of the New York State Board of Police Commissioners and was Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Later on, Roosevelt served as the 33rd Governor of New York, the 25th Vice President of The United States and the 26th President of the United States—at 42-years-old, he was the youngest president in American history. He also was a conservationist, an author and a peacemaker to boot. “He created Saved [Places] under the Antiquities Act,” Ehrlich explained. “It [the act] was passed in 1906. He saved 230 million acres during his presidency. A lot of those eventually became either natural forest or storage sites. That’s when the [Park Service] PS and National

Sagamore Hill

T.R. from page 3B Forestry Service were created. That includes bird sanctuaries, you name it. One of the first was Devils Monument out west, and of course, the Grand Canyon. [He also created] the first Food and Drug Administration for certifying food safety and drugs. What’s also interesting too is that he used the presidency as a platform. For example, he settled the coal strike between the management and labor unions—which would have crippled the country at the time. He got both parties in the White House to settle— using the power of the presidency to settle a labor dispute. That was critical because the coal was the single source of energy for heating. That’s one of the many things he did. He won the Nobel Peace Prize. He settled the dispute of the war between the Japanese and the Russians in the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. He actually started negotiations in Sagamore Hill. It eventually progressed to Portsmouth New Hampshire, where they signed the Russo-Japanese War Treaty ending the war and he got the [Peace] Prize for that. He warned about the coming of World War I. All of his family participated in World War I at that time. He lost his youngest son Quentin in World War I. He promised a square deal for Americans, sometimes called the new nationalism. He was a doer. He didn’t teach philosophy or preach philosophy—he

actually did things. What he did was is he took Hamilton’s idea of a strong central national government and Jefferson’s idea of helping the people. He wanted a government where the national government would be strong and pass laws to help people of all different classes.” Roosevelt serves as an inspiration to Ehrlich for many reasons—one being he admired the kind of person Roosevelt was. “This guy is so grounded in life, that he wanted to help people and that’s one of the things that I see in him that inspired me.,” Ehrlich said. “You want to help kids, you want to help people and the average person. He said—in this speech at Groton Academy— keep your eyes on the stars, but remember to keep your feet on the ground. I think that’s the perfect way to live your life. Definitely dream about what you want to do, but also things that you can do, in reality—keeping your feet on the ground. He also said you should never be a quitter. He said in the speech too that anyone can criticize, but if the person actually does things and if he fails, he fails greatly. You’re not going to succeed all the time, but the attempt at doing things and you learn from that and you precede from that. Any obstacles you have in your life, you overcome. His whole life is an example to people and that’s what inspired me.”

The Theodore Roosevelt Association’s mission statement: The Theodore Roosevelt Association is a historical and public service organization dedicated to perpetuating the memory and ideals of Theodore Roosevelt. While looking back at Roosevelt’s life, times and legacy, we have our sights on the future through programs that recognize brave and gifted individuals, inspire public service, bring comfort to sick children and develop tomorrow’s leaders.

Shines Bright

New collection from Tiffany and Co. brings the sparkle

Tiffany T1 pendant in 18k gold with diamonds. $6,500

Tiffany T1 earrings in 18K gold with pavé diamonds. $7,000

BY EMILY SAUCHELLI esauchelli@antonnews.com

Tiffany and Co. has released the second installment of their T1 collection, that incorporates 18k white gold and 18k gold styles. The styles from the beginning of the collection, which debuted in May 2020 showcases something for everybody—bracelets, rings, earrings and more. No matter what you decide to do with your jewelry, each one of these pieces stand the test of time. Jewelry from the collection incorporates hand-set diamonds.

T

he earrings from the Tiffany T1 collection make a statement—period. The unique shape of the earrings—paired with the curled motif—are perfect for a special event, such as a night of grandeur and glamour. Perhaps the Oscars or Emmy’s might do? Pair these earrings with a bold red lip and curled locks, you’ll look like a Hollywood movie star. The earrings also come in 18K rose gold. The Tiffany T1 pendant has the same design as the Tiffany T1 earrings—a circular shape with architectural lines and sharp-curved edges. The pendant and earrings together bring a statement of sparkle, elegance and glamour. The Tiffany T1 bangles—both the narrow hinged and the wide diamond hinge—bring a level of elegance and sophistication to whoever wears them. Each bangle comes in small, medium or large size. The diamond hinge bangle is perfect for someone who wants to show off some sparkle, but still want to remain classic

and refined. The narrow-hinged bangle although no trace of a diamond on it is still classic and makes a statement. These bangles go great with either a collared shirt or a statement dress. On the flipside, there is another bangle design that is full of diamonds and not just metal, or half diamonds on the bangle. The T1 collection plays off of the ‘T’ in Tiffany and Co., with each bracelet and ring showcasing the signature ‘T’ in the design. The rings in the Tiffany T1 collection showcase a few different styles—full diamonds surround the ring, half diamonds and half metal or full metal. The metal options for the rings in the collection are 18K white gold, 18K gold and 18K rose gold. What makes the rings in the Tiffany T1 collection interesting is their shape—a ‘T’ wrapped around your finger—as well as the dimension and illusion that gives off by the light. To learn more about Tiffany and Co, T1 collection and the services they provide, visit www.tiffany.com.

Elizabeth Fillmore Debuts Fall 2021 Bridal Collection

B

ridal designer Elizabeth Fillmore embraced the pandemic penchant for digital and released her collection in a breathtaking two-minute bridal fashion film on the CFDA’s Runway360 platform. The collection features pieces in luxurious 100 percent silks, satin charmeuse, chiffon and 4ply Crepe, paired with couture French laces in an airy lattice embroidery on tulle. The turn of the century inspired vintage scallop lace design seen on the Agatha halter gown, Izzie top and Isadora day dress serve as standouts of the collection. All of the silhouettes feature romantic details with a modern and sleek approach to the overall design. The fall 2021 collection is the culmination of all design elements that inspire Fillmore. She focused on sleek modern designs, coupled with couture

lace accents. “Now more than ever we need beauty, strength and a reminder of our past in order to move forward, Fillmore said. “The fall 2021 ‘Reflection’ is a passion project of my artistic vision—want to offer my brides the poetic drama and artistry of historical inspiration layered over my signature bias cut sensual and modern silhouettes, offering up personal inspiration and aspirations of a lofty lightness.” Fillmore has been a staple in the chicest bridal boutiques globally for years and offers brides an atelier experience in her New York City showroom. The film was shot at a historical “Gustav Mayer” Villa on Staten Island that dates back to 1855. The villa is the former home of the Vanilla Wafer inventor and his family. The stunning backdrop of the villa meshed perfectly with the collection to

capture the ambiance and mood the designer sought to achieve. The Elizabeth Fillmore woman is independent, feminine, sophisticated with a creative spirit. “I believe every bride I dress ultimately wants to feel like a modern day Goddess for her wedding,” Fillmore said. The heart of the Elizabeth Fillmore collection is her absolute focus on her sophisticated and independent designs—rooted in a ‘modern romantic’ aesthetic. Fillmore’s designs are marked by her signature bias cut slip gowns, gentle sexy shapes that flow over the body like water, combined with bespoke accents that add an ethereal look and poetry to each collection.

College Application Tips When and how to apply for financial aid and more

T

here are many things to remember when applying for college. To alleviate this process and make it easier, here are some tips that you should follow. Financial Aid Knowing when the deadlines are, is of utmost importance when applying for financial aid as college costs a fortune. When applying for federal aid, the U.S. Department of Education has a free application for federal student aid, otherwise known as FAFSA. On the Department of Education’s website, there are specific deadlines one must follow in order to be considered for financial aid by the government. For those applying for the 2020-21 academic year, all FAFSA forms must be completed by June 30, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. CT. Each state has its own separate deadline for when financial aid applications should be submitted by. For New York, the deadline to submit your FAFSA forms is the same time as the federal deadline—June 30, 2021 by midnight CT. To qualify for financial aid, you have to meet the basic eligibility criteria. Expected Family Contribution (EFC) One part of the eligibility criteria is based off the applicant’s information that is submitted. One aspect that the federal government considers is the expected family contribution (EFC). The EFC is determined by three different formulas—for dependent students, for independent students without dependents other than a spouse, for independent students with dependents other than a spouse. Once the EFC is calculated, the financial aid administrator (FAA) subtracts the expected

family contribution from the cost of attendance to decide on how much financial aid a student will receive. Another factor is what year you are in school—freshman, sophomore, junior or senior. Your enrollment status is another factor that is taken into consideration when figuring out how much federal aid is given. The last factor when deciding financial aid criteria is the cost of attendance (COA) for the school you will be attending. Cost of attendance can be estimated and includes, but not limited to tuition and fees, room and board, books/supplies, study abroad programs. Federal Financial Need Financial need, otherwise known as need-based aid is calculated using the formula, cost of attendance (COA)— expected family contribution. There are four types of financial aid that is offered through the Department of Education—federal pell grants, subsidized loans from the William D. Ford

Just like financial aid, there is a lot that goes into making your application look perfect. What is needed when applying for college are four items—standardized tests such as the SAT/ACT, official transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a college essay. The deadlines for college applications fall into four categories: early action, early decision, regular decision and rolling (Photo courtesy Unsplash) admission. Early action application deadline typically is around Federal Direct Loan Program, federal November with admission decision supplemental education opportunity sometime around December.

NEW YORK TECH:

Reinvent Your Path to Success

New York Institute of Technology is among the few universities emerging from the COVID-19 crisis stronger than ever. As the home of doers, makers, innovators, and healers, we are a place where students can follow their path to a successful career in fields that address new market needs and challenges. Through our new, test-optional admissions policy, we’re flexible and able to work individually with students, their families, and their schools to make it easier than ever for students to secure their future. Our priority deadlines offer early admission and financial aid consideration, and our virtual admissions and financial aid programming provide opportunities for prospective students and families to connect with us at their convenience. Our technology-infused undergraduate and graduate programs transform students into nimble, solutions-oriented professionals in fields including: data and computer science; architecture and design; biotechnology; electrical and mechanical engineering; nursing, medicine, and allied health; communications and digital arts; management; and more. Coursework in every degree program emphasizes real-world projects and research, critical creativity, and a growth mindset that challenges students to think big and reinvent the future.

An Inspired Learning Environment New York Tech’s caring faculty and staff are experts in their respective fields who know how to leverage technology and best-in-class teaching methods, whether they’re holding classes on campus, remotely, or in a hybrid model. Nearly 9,000 students are enrolled at our campuses in Long Island and New York City, NY; Jonesboro, AR; and Vancouver, B.C. “We pride ourselves in meeting our students where they are and taking them where they want to go, while helping them grow as people, citizens, and professionals,” notes New York Tech President Henry C. “Hank” Foley, Ph.D.

Students at New York Tech are encouraged to test and enhance their abilities through industry challenges, internships, research, interdisciplinary collaborations, and service projects. For example, digital film and television production students created a film in collaboration with JetBlue to highlight a local school for children with special needs. Others worked with faculty on research on gene mutations, emotion-detecting computers, nanotechnology for disease diagnosis, robotics, and sustainable architecture and urban design projects, presenting at national conferences or publishing work in research and academic journals.

Highly-Ranked and Accredited Our academic programs are respected and valued by ranking organizations and accreditors because we deliver on our promise: to provide an education that positions our graduates at the cutting edge of market needs and prepares them for an unpredictable economy. • We consistently appear in U.S. News & World Report’s top tier of Best Regional Universities (North) and rankings for social mobility, diversity, and best schools for veterans. • Our ranking in The Wall Street Journal/ Time Higher Education annual survey, which focuses on student success, has skyrocketed in recent years, and specialty organizations recognize our programs for online excellence and our graduates’ salary potential. • Educate to Career recently ranked New York Tech as a Tier 1 College, based on affordability and the ability to offer quality in-classroom, online, and blended format education.

Affordability and Scholarships We know that earning a college degree is a serious investment. Our tuition and fees are among the lowest private net college tuitions in the New York metropolitan region. At the

same time, we offer generous financial aid packages, with special scholarship programs for veterans; transfer students; children of police, firefighters, EMS, and K-12 teachers; and alumni. Nearly 100% of our first-time, firstyear students receive financial aid.

A Vibrant Community At New York Tech, diversity is represented by a community of individuals from a variety of racial, ethnic, religious, gender, gender presentation, sexuality, geographic, cultural, age, ability, and socioeconomic groups. We recognize the strength that stems from a diversity of perspectives, values, ideas, backgrounds, styles, approaches, experiences, and beliefs; and we aspire to continue to grow as a place that always welcomes and encourages individuals of all backgrounds to contribute to and be part of our vibrant culture. Ranking organizations and other observers, including USA Today and The Chronicle of Higher Education, have praised New York Tech’s diversity as a strength.

Delivering on our Career Promise While rankings and distinctions are testament to the university’s strengths, nothing reveals the value of a New York Tech degree better than our graduates’ careers. Our latest data show that 94% of graduates are employed or continuing their education within six months of graduation. Recent grads have taken jobs at BBC America, Google, biotech startup Ovid Therapeutics, IBM, and architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates. Others are starting graduate work at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Georgia Tech. And in this global health crisis, graduates of our College of Osteopathic Medicine (98% match rate) and School of Health Professions (licensure exam pass rates between 95-100%) are eagerly moving into roles where they are needed. Imagine the steps you can take toward your ideal career by enrolling at New York Tech. Getting an education at a university with deep roots in New York—the global capital of finance, media, and culture— offers opportunities impossible to duplicate elsewhere. Local students are able to remain close to family and friends while enjoying the best of both worlds—staying connected with the people they are closest to while pursuing social and personal growth at a university that provides exceptional networking, skill development, and job prospects in indemand fields. The next few years will pass, regardless of personal circumstances or the world at large. How do you want your life to look in two or four years? You may not have all the answers, but you can get started on a path to your best life. By pursuing a degree at New York Tech, you can become competent to work in the field of your choice, make professional connections, and receive excellent returns on the hard work you’ve put in.

Old Bethpage Filmmaker Joins LIHSA Faculty

dam Berch of Old Bethpage brings an ideal combination of educational experience and professional expertise to the Film Department faculty at Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts (LIHSA). A highly accomplished videographer who is no stranger to the classroom, Berch builds on a wealth of experience and a foundation of best instructional practices to foster an enthusiastic, collaborative learning environment for his students. After living for five years at the heart of the film industry in Los Angeles, Berch returned to his native Long Island to pursue an even greater passion—teaching. While he still hopes to create his own films, he counts his greatest successes as those of his students. “I would love for my students to break through in the industry,” he said. It’s a dream he has already seen come to fruition. A number of Berch’s former students earned first place in the SkillsUSA New York State Video Competition two years in a row, earning the right to move on to the nationals. Under his guidance, one former graduate created an original film that was accepted to the legendary Cannes International Film Festival, while another served as assistant to Academy Award-winning director and actress Penny Marshall, and is now working with Hollywood icon Marlee Matlin. Professionally, Berch has had tremendous success as a digital video editor and videographer, having produced a number of commercials and corporate video projects. For the past six years, he has shared his expertise with the students in the Eastern Suffolk BOCES Career and Technical Education (CTE) program. In the classroom, he delivers innovative, engaging lessons on the various phases of digital film production in a hands-on setting. Berch has served as an adult education teacher, using an individualized instructional approach to guide his students through the digital filmmaking process. He has also served as a teacher in the Summer Career Exploration Program, providing training in real-world industry skills through interactive coursework, projects and activities. As both a teacher and an expert in his field, Berch eschews the trite aphorism, “just do it” for his own philosophy. “Let’s learn how to do

this together,” he said. “I want to pass on what I’ve learned to my students. I want to give them the benefit of my experience and teach them to improve on what has already been done.” Berch holds a master’s degree in library and information science from Long Island University, a master’s degree in film and television production from the New York Institute of Technology, a bachelor’s degree in communications and media arts from Ramapo College, and holds a New York State certification as a teacher of media communications. He earned the Leadership Role Award and the Public Recognition Award for his outstanding work as an

Plainview Choreographer Joins LIHSA Faculty Chris Brick of Plainview brings nearly 20 years of professional experience to the Musical Theater department at Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts (LIHSA). A Long Island native, Brick grew up admiring LIHSA from afar and appreciating the advantage it affords students who are serious about pursuing a career in the arts. “There aren’t a lot of schools offering these kinds of opportunities,” Brick said of the unique courses at LIHSA. “This is a wonderful precollege program. It’s important that students with an interest in the arts have a place to go where they can pursue their dreams. At this age, they are fresh and eager to learn. Their minds are so open. They’re ready to be bold and are not afraid to make mistakes. It’s inspiring.” A choreographer for a number of school districts and universities, both on Long Island and in New York City, Brick has a significant background in arts education. Having served as program coordinator and advisor at a professional dance studio, he intends to apply his knowledge and experience at LIHSA to help his students build a solid foundation in the fundamentals of dance, regardless of their level of skill or training. “I approach choreography

through the shared experience of being human,” Brick said of his work, both as a teacher and a choreographer. “We all move. Dance is merely an extension of that movement. It’s when you stop talking and use your body to communicate. It’s when you don’t have the words for an emotion, so you need to express it a different way. Expression through the body is unique and beautiful.”

Brick has a long list of professional credits to his name: he played Jojo in a national tour of Seussical, directed by Tony-nominee Marcia Milgrom Dodge; he performed in the Off-Broadway productions of Judy & Me and Chautauqua! and he was part of a number of regional productions including Mary Poppins, Hello Dolly! and Grease. He has also appeared in film and on television, including a featured role on The History Channel. Brick holds a bachelor’s degree in musical theater from Pace University in Manhattan and is a member in good standing with the Actors Equity Association. He also earned the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Musical award from the Midtown International Theatre Festival. For more than 45 years, LIHSA has been a powerhouse for the development of Long Island’s creative and cultural sector, offering programs in theatre, dance, music, special effects, digital media, fine arts and film.

School Anxiety

I

What to expect during the age of COVID-19

t is typical for children to experience some anxiety when it’s a new school year. it is reasonable to assume that anxiety may be even higher for many children as COVID-19 has made the usually predictable elements of the school experience quite unpredictable. Children may be worried about themselves or someone they love becoming ill. Social distance practices will be in place to keep everyone safe, yet this makes typical school routines look and feel different. These changes may be making your child feel worried. Here are some tips for managing anxiety. Create rituals: Create predictable routines and rituals at home. Consider playing upbeat and motivating music every morning to associate fun and movement with the morning routine. Having predictable sleep routines and meal times can improve one’s

PARENTING MATTERS Graziella Simonetti mood and make children feel secure. Control: Help your child focus on the things they can control, such as mask wearing, hand washing and practicing social distance. Practice mask wearing and hand washing at home, and empathize with your child that some of these tasks can be unpleasant or uncomfortable. Reassure your child that safety measures will

be put into place at school to try to keep everyone safe. You can validate their anxious feelings while also equipping them with the tools and confidence to stay safe and get through this uncomfortable time. Social Stories: For young children, creating a story around what school may look like, how they might feel about it, and strategies they can use to cope can help them understand what tools they already have to manage emotions and help them mentally prepare for what they may face in school. To learn more about social stories, visit www.autismresourcecentral. org/social-stories-for-youngand-old-on-covid-19/ or you can create your own and make it personal with your child’s name, image, school, and teacher. Model: Children can sense when parents are stressed and

worried. If they hear you talk about how horrible things are, they will react in kind. We can model strategies for our kids as we cope with the uncertainty. Lean on your own supports such as family and friends. Focus on what is actually happening instead of dwelling on the worst-case scenarios. Coping Strategies: Help your child focus on the present and think about ‘what is’ and not ‘what if.’ Research and practice mindfulness for kids, and teach deep breathing exercise to help manage anxious feelings. Continue to check in with your child to see how they are feeling, and validate whatever feeling is expressed. Things may change throughout the year, making planning difficult, and these changes can be stressful for families. These changes may demand children transition to different forms of learning throughout

the year. If these changes do occur, make sure you utilize your own coping strategies to manage the stress. Explain to your children what you do know in a matter of fact way and offer room for them to process their feelings. Some of the following behaviors may be signs that your child is experiencing elevated states of anxiety; increased separation anxiety, increase of headaches or stomach aches, difficulty sleeping, increase in tantrums, difficulty concentrating, heightened irritability, and seeking lots of reassurance. If you are concerned about your child’s level of anxiety, consider consulting with a mental health practitioner.

Since reopening, Stratford Road Elementary School in the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District (POBCSD) has taken advantage of the fall weather and utilized the school’s courtyard and playground to become a new classroom for students. The use of the outdoors as expanded classroom space allowed students to be socially distant while enjoying their lessons and the environment around them. Students have been able to use the outside as a place to build upon a variety of subjects. From science to social studies to math, students have been engaged with their schoolwork while appreciating nature. Students have expressed support for the outdoor classrooms, highlighting their favorite parts of outdoor schooling. Many have preferred the comfort of outside as opposed to their normal desks. Students are able to greet fall with a smile, while excelling in their academics.

American Jewish Committee (AJC) Long Island will officially roll out the Long Island Community of Conscience on Nov. 10, at 9 a.m. The list of organizations representing Long Island’s diverse communities that are joining with AJC in this initiative is available at www.ajc.org/longisland/community. The Community of Conscience is born out of a great need locally and nationally. America is deeply divided and polarized. Across the nation, hate crimes have been steadily rising, racial inequality has come to the forefront of the national and local conversation, immigrants have been defamed and disenfranchised, and many of our democratic ideals have been called into question. The AJC Long Island Community of Conscience will seek to pass bills to monitor, prevent, and combat hate on Long Island and throughout New York State within the first legislative session in Albany. It will also create a forum for leaders of Long Island’s diverse communities to educate one another on how discrimination towards their communities is manifested and how to combat discrimination and hate.

In this course, his students were tasked with the challenge of creating a complex machine to complete a simple task. “The goals of the project are to utilize all six of the simple machines to complete a simple task like popping a balloon,” Facchini said. “Prior to designing their machines, my students learned about the six simple machines including a lever, incline plane, pulley, wedge, screw and wheel and axle. They also learned how the different machines were developed to make doing work easier by using mechanical advantage.”

Using the principles of mathematics, students in this innovative and hands-on class at North Shore Middle School calculated the mechanical advantage and predicted if their idea will work. (Photo by Shelly Newman)

hen we first meet the subject of the new HBO documentary, Siempre, Luis, he is having a matter-of-fact conversation with his doctor during a 2018 follow-up visit to his cardiologist’s office following a heart attack he suffered the year before. He admits he is busier since before his cardiac blockage and his devoted wife, Dr. Luz Towns-Miranda chimes in that he’s quite tired, Luis A. Miranda Jr. admits he goes to bed at midnight and sleeps for five and a half hours, “...which is a little more than I used to sleep.” Of course what he left out was that he spent the prior 12 months spearheading the campaign to get Letitia James elected to become New York State’s first female African-American attorney general, got the vote out in the Latino community for a number of 2018 Democratic mid-term races and helped his oldest son Lin-Manuel Miranda bring the latter’s Hamilton to Puerto Rico as a means of raising disaster relief to the island in the wake of Hurricane Maria’s devastation. And while the world knows his son via his offspring’s wildly successful entertainment career that has yielded a Pulitzer Prize, three Tony Awards, three Grammys, an Emmy, two Olivier Awards and an Oscar nod, that drive Cont’d on next page

for success can be directly traced to the Miranda patriarch, who has spent the past three-plus decades helping shape New York politics. Currently a founding partner alongside Roberto Ramirez in the MirRam Group, an independent consulting firm designed to offer clients the benefit of their deep understanding of New York’s political, corporate, labor, and non-profit landscapes, Miranda was content to remain behind the scenes. That is, until Siempre. Luis director John James, who works at the MirRam Group, approached the loquacious sexuagenarian four years ago about capturing some of his anecdotes on film. “I guess J.J. heard me over a couple of years tell outrageous, colorful and sometimes insightful things in the kitchen, which is the most important part of the office where everyone congregates for breakfast and lunch,” Miranda said. “He came over and asked if it would be okay for him to follow me around with a camera, which was a little surprising because being on camera is not what I do. For a long time for a living, I worked [behind the scenes] with elected officials, institutions, causes and my kids. I actually remember telling him that I needed to talk to my family because we are a family that’s always in each other’s business. We are sort of a family package. If you get one of us, you get all of us. I told J.J. I needed to ask, particularly my daughter, who is the most private of all of us. He had already spoken to my daughter and she had already said yes. Then he started following me. In the meantime, I’d gotten a heart attack, Maria destroyed Puerto Rico, we took Hamilton to Puerto Rico—the only thing I did not do was die. That was not going to happen.” For roughly two-plus years, James and cinematographer Carlos Garcia de Dios followed Miranda around during a particularly whirlwind span of time for the film’s namesake. As someone not used to being the center of attention, the process was foreign, but the Inwood resident adjusted and found the pace of his life to be the greatest obstacle in making the documentary. “It was tough to be the subject,” Miranda admitted. “As I said to you earlier, that’s not my lane. But I’m pretty good about getting used to things, accepting them, incorporating them and moving forward. So I quickly learned I needed to think about the camera, Carlos and J.J. being part of my furniture. They were one more thing that existed in my life and I quickly found looking at it that way was the quickest way I could be myself. The amount of things going on [made for a] very busy time in our lives. Quite frankly, it really was not the cameras in the documentary, it was the circumstances that were the challenge.”

Coming To America

Tracing Miranda’s arc not only proves to be a fascinating journey, but the combination of old family photos and vintage news footage give unique insight into what New York City was like in 1974. This was when the then-18-year-old Puerto Rican left behind a job and a wife he’d only been married to for a few months to attend New York University as part of a psychology Ph.D program that recruited Latinos from the island. “It was a different time and a different experience,” explained Miranda’s old friend, New York State Assemblyman Roberto Ramirez. “I think it was the same DNA that connects all of us that come from Puerto Rico, particularly of a certain age. We share an experience. It’s one of family. It’s one of trying to do better. And it’s one of exploring this other place they call Nueva York.” It’s an assessment Miranda agrees with, although he admits not recalling culture shock when he came to live with his aunt during his first six months in the United States. “My aunt lived in Chelsea at a time when, believe it or not, Chelsea was a Puerto Rican neighborhood,” he said. “We lived on 232 W. 21st St. My aunt was a single mom with two little kids and she was the only person and family member that I knew in New York.” It was at NYU where Miranda’s developed his thirst to battle the discrimination Puerto Ricans faced (“I always want to right a wrong”) and also where he met his future wife, a single mom with a young daughter named Luz. Within a few months of meeting, Miranda married Luz Towns and adopted her child. Son Lin-Manuel would be born in 1980.

Finding His Political Groove The elder Miranda’s biggest break came when he was hired as a special advisor for Hispanic Affairs by Mayor Edward I. Koch during his last term from 1987 to 1989. According to former Koch assistant Michael Stolper, it was a move Miranda maximized. “He took what had been a token position and turned it into a real position with access and influence,” Stolper said. “He became one of Koch’s top advisors and one of the folks Koch really relied on, especially during the stress of a campaign.” Miranda acknowledges this entry into New York City politics proved to be a watershed moment for him. “No doubt, it was a life changer,” he said. “First of all, it put me front and center of being able to push agenda items that were important to me and important for the time. The second important part of this experience is that because this was his last term, it really toughened me up. It allowed me to understand that you have to practice and attack criticism of the administration in a way that will help you to do your job in a good way and be able to get home and enjoy your family in spite of the tension of the job.” Post-Koch, Miranda had roles in the Dinkins

COSMETIC SURGERY TODAY

STEPHEN T. GREENBERG, M.D., F.A.C.S. DOMINATES NY PLASTIC SURGERY

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.

and Giuliani administrations, serving as chairman of the NYC Health and Hospitals Corporation, increasing market improvements in quality of care and financial stability before resigning a year in under Giuliani after refusing to enact cuts as the city was entering the second decade of the AIDS pandemic. Miranda parlayed his political savvy and connections into becoming a driving force behind a number of successful political races including Senate campaigns for Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton and Kirsten Gillibrand. He’s also used this acumen to help his son bring Hamilton to Puerto Rico for a three-week run in January 2019, where the duo had it play before 40,000 people and nearly $15 million was raised for the arts on the island. And despite his recent health scare, Miranda hasn’t slowed down, particularly in his quest to continue fighting for his principals of fairness and equality. “I’m working on mobilizing Latinos to vote for Joe Biden in Florida and in battleground states where Latinos make a significant portion of the electorate,” he said. ”The only way I know is to not give up and figure out how to get something accomplished, even when it seems that it is not doable. My hopes with this documentary is that a viewer could be inspired to work as hard as they can for their dreams.” Siempre, Luis can be viewed on demand on HBO Max.

GLEN HEAD Peter John Simm passed away peacefully on Sept. 14, after years of battling numerous health issues attributed to diabetes. Pete is no longer in suffering and is whole, laughing,

drinking Dunkin’ Donuts coffee and eating cheeseburgers. He is survived by his daughters, Corey and Jordan and his son and grandson, Taylor and Brayden, and his sister, Nan, and her husband and children, John, Ruth and Aaron. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Peter’s name to FASNY Firemen’s Home or the American Diabetes Association.

MINEOLA Information to identify the case: Debtor: The Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre, New York EIN: 11-1837437 United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York Date case filed for chapter 11: 10/01/2020 Case Number: 20 - 12345 Official Form 309F1 (For Corporations or Partnerships) Notice of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case 10/20 For the debtor listed above, a case has been filed under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. An order for relief has been entered. This notice has important information about the case for creditors and debtors, including information about the meeting of creditors and deadlines. Read both pages carefully. The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts from the debtor or the debtor’s property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtor. Creditors cannot demand repayment from the debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney’s fees. Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debt. A creditor who wants to have a particular debt excepted from discharge may be required to file a complaint in the bankruptcy clerk’s office within the deadline specified in this notice. (See line 11 below for more information.) To protect your rights, consult an attorney. All documents filed in the case may be inspected at the bankruptcy clerk’s office at the address listed below or through PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records at https://pacer.uscourts.gov). The staff of the bankruptcy clerk’s office cannot give legal advice. Do not file this notice with any proof of claim or other filing in the case. 1. Debtor’s Full name: The Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre, New York 2. All other names used in the last 8 years: Diocese of Rockville Centre 3. Address: 50 North Park Avenue, Rockville, NY 11570 4. Debtor’s attorney: Jones Day, Attn: Corinne Ball, 250 Vesey Street, New York, NY 11570, Phone: (212) 326 – 3939, Email: cball@jonesday.com 5. Bankruptcy clerk’s office: US Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, One Bowling Green, New York, NY 10004-1408, Hours open: Monday – Friday, 8:30 AM (ET) – 5:00 PM (ET), Contact phone: (212) 668 - 2870. Documents in this case may be filed at this address. You may inspect all records filed in this case at this office or online at https://pacer.uscourts.gov. 6. Meeting of creditors: November 5, 2020 at 12 PM (ET), Location: The meeting of creditors will be conducted by telephone conference. The Office of the United States Trustee will provide dial-in instructions prior to the meeting. The debtor’s representative must attend the meeting to be questioned under oath. Creditors may attend, but are not required to do so. The meeting may be continued or adjourned to a later date. If so, the date will be on the court docket. 7. Proof of claim deadline. Deadline for filing of proof of claim: Not yet set. If a deadline is set, notice will be sent at a later time. A proof of claim is a signed statement describing a creditor’s claim. A proof of claim form may be obtained at www.uscourts.gov or any bankruptcy clerk’s office. Your claim will be allowed in the amount scheduled unless: your claim is designated as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated; you file a proof of claim in a different amount; or you receive another notice. If your claim is not scheduled or if your claim is designated as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, you must file a proof of claim or you might not be paid on your claim and you might be unable to vote on a plan. You may file a proof of claim even if your claim is scheduled. You may review the schedules at the bankruptcy clerk’s office or online at https://pacer.uscourts.gov. Secured creditors retain rights in their collateral regardless of whether they file a proof of claim. Filing a proof of claim submits a creditor to the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court, with consequences a lawyer can explain. For example, a secured creditor who files a proof of claim may surrender important nonmonetary rights, including the right to a jury trial. 8. Exception to discharge deadline: If § 523(c) applies to your claim and you seek to have it excepted from discharge, you must start a judicial proceeding by filing a complaint by the deadline stated below. The bankruptcy clerk’s office must receive a complaint and any required filing fee by the following deadline. Deadline for filing the complaint: To be determined 9. Creditors with foreign address: If you are a creditor receiving notice mailed to a foreign address, you may file a motion asking the court to extend the deadlines in this notice. Consult an attorney familiar with United States bankruptcy law if you have any questions about your rights in this case. 10. Filing a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case: Chapter 11 allows debtors to reorganize or liquidate according to a plan. A plan is not effective unless the court confirms it. You may receive a copy of the plan and a disclosure statement telling you about the plan, and you may have the opportunity to vote on the plan. You will receive notice of the date of the confirmation hearing, and you may object to confirmation of the plan and attend the confirmation hearing. Unless a trustee is serving, the debtor will remain in possession of the property and may continue to operate its business. 11. Discharge of debts: Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debts, which may include all or part of your debt. See 11 U.S.C. § 1141(d). A discharge means that creditors may never try to collect the debt from the debtor except as provided in the plan. If you want to have a particular debt owed to you excepted from the discharge and § 523(c) applies to your claim, you must start a judicial proceeding by filing a complaint and paying the filing fee in the bankruptcy clerk’s office by the deadline.

continued from page 41 Households notified of their children’s eligibility must contact the School Food Authority if they choose to decline the free meal benefits. Households may apply for benefits at any time throughout the school year. Children of parents or guardians who become unemployed or experience a financial hardship mid-year may become eligible for free and reduced price meals or free milk at any point during the school year. For up to 30 operating days into the new school year (or until a new eligibility determination is made, whichever comes first) an individual child’s free or reduced price eligibility status from the previous year will continue within the same SFA. When the carryover period ends, unless the household is notified that their children are directly certified or the household submits an application that is approved, the children’s meals must be claimed at the paid rate. Though encouraged to do so, the SFA is not required to send a reminder or a notice of expired eligibility. The information provided on the application will be confidential and will be used for determining eligibility. The names and eligibility status of participants may also be used for the allocation of funds to federal education programs such as Title I and National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), State health or State education programs, provided the State agency or local education agency administers the programs, and for federal, State or local means-tested nutrition programs with eligibility standards comparable to the NSLP. Eligibility information may also be released to programs authorized under the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) or the Child Nutrition Act (CNA). The release of information to any program or entity not specifically authorized by the NSLA will require a written consent statement from the parent or guardian. The School Food Authority does, however, have the right to verify at any time during the school year the information on the application. If a parent does not give the school this information, the child/children will no longer be able to receive free or reduced price meals (free milk). Foster children are eligible for free meal benefits. A separate application for a foster child is no longer necessary. Foster children may be listed on the application as a member of the family where they reside. Applications must include the foster child’s name and personal use income. Under the provisions of the policy, the designated official will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the designated official, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing for a hearing to appeal the decision. Victor P. Manuel, Assistant Superintendent for Business Affairs, whose address is Jericho Union Free School District, 99 Cedar Swamp Road, Jericho, NY 11753, has been designated as the Hearing Official. Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. However, prior to initiating the hearing procedure, the parent or School Food Authority may request a conference to provide an opportunity for the parent and official to discuss the situation, present information, and obtain an explanation of the data submitted in the application or the decisions rendered. The request for a conference shall not in any way prejudice or diminish the right to a fair hearing. Only complete applications can be approved. This includes complete and accurate information regarding: the SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR case number; the names of all household members; on an income application, the last four digits of the social security number of the person who signs the form or an indication that the adult does not have one, and the amount and source of income received by each household member. In addition, the parent or guardian must sign the application form, certifying the information is true and correct. Beginning July 1, 2020, students in New York State that are approved for reduced price meals will receive breakfast and lunch meals at no charge. Nondiscrimination Statement: This explains what to do if you believe you have been treated unfairly. In accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA. Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.), should contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for benefits. Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339. Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English. To file a program complaint of discrimination, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, (AD-3027) found online at: http://www.ascr.usda. gov/complaint_filing_cust.html, and at any USDA office, or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter all of the information requested in the form. To request a copy of the complaint form, call (866) 632-9992.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

The year features experiences that are beyond words -- strange, lovely and very specific to what fulfills you. Like a planet circling the sun, you’ll find yourself drawn to the orbit of a bright spirit. You will be warmed and invigorated by this attraction, which will be as easy as giving in to the pull of gravity. In November, you’ll move fast so you can play slow, savoring the end of the year. The project you pull off in early 2021 has so many moving parts that when it all comes together, it will feel like a miracle. COPYRIGHT 2020 CREATORS.COM

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re building a reputation and making a living. You need a strategy for self-promotion. Think about the reaction you want from the world. What do you want them to think, say and do regarding you? If you don’t get ahead of this, you’ll get what you get. That’s fair, but wouldn’t you rather get what you want instead? TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Progress is thwarted by bad information. The map is incorrect. Ask for guidance from multiple sources, not just from the so-called authority. Until you know everyone’s story, you’ve partial and incomplete knowledge. You’ll come away from this week with a comprehensive understanding of where you stand. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can do the same thing a few times, but after a while you get bored. It’s not a bad thing. Think of it as a signal to say, “Thank you, next!” and get on with learning something new about the world. Without boredom, you’d never have amassed all these remarkable experiences that make you who you are. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you wait for the right moment to take action, then it won’t come. There is no “right” moment. There’s the sort of moment in which things have built up and a decision must be made, or there’s the moment that comes with an overwhelming impulse to move. It’s really the action itself that makes things correct. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Projected onto the theatrical screen of your mind is a vision only you can see, although some of this week’s mental cinema will be especially worthy of sharing. Describing the movie never works as well as you think it will. Instead, take the necessary steps to flesh it out so everyone can enjoy the real-life scenario. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes, the most powerful people don’t like to be known. They lie low and let other people get the glory and the heat. From this diminished profile, they are able to gather what they need from the situation, like a thief in the night. You know what you want. Now, consider different styles and manners of getting it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The success key: consistency. It’s easier when you care deeply. You can work on scheduling and showing up predictably, or you can focus on investing emotion and fueling your desire. Both paths lead to the same outcome. Eventually, you’ll get to a place where this thing you so wanted is happening day by day. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You want more than you’re currently getting, and you’re not afraid to say it. At the same time, you’re not exactly sure who to tell. If you tell the same people who aren’t giving you enough, your words will be wasted. Venture out. You have yet to meet the people who need what you have and will pay you a lot for it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The one who gets there first is the inventor or discoverer, though it is not always the same person who gets credit for being so. The credit goes to the one who is both early and loud. History upholds those with the best P.R. Take the lesson to heart. Team your accomplishments with a spreadable story. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be working with extraordinary powers of focus this week. You know what you want, and you’ll said “yes” to all that’s required to get there. But more importantly, you recognize that you must now say “no” to everything else, which will include great ideas and invitations that are simply not in line with your goal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone needs to check in with each member of the team to be sure all are on the same page. That someone is you. After getting everyone into alignment with the big purpose, you will have an unstoppable force on your hands and will be amazed at how swiftly and beautifully the goal is accomplished. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s a discrepancy between how powerful you feel and how powerful you are. In this instance, you have more leverage than you currently claim. Can’t see it? Look at it differently. Ask an outsider’s view, preferably one who knows the ropes. When you shore up the discrepancy, you’ll seize what’s yours.

Long Islander Wins Second NASCAR Championship In Three Years BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

I

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

t took nine seasons of full-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour racing for Justin Bonsignore to capture his first championship. Two years later, the Long Island native is celebrating once again. The season was put on hold until late June due to the coronavirus pandemic. But once it began, there were nine contests for the approximately 20 full-time drivers to chase the title crown. Bonsignore, who hails from Holtsville in Suffolk County, set himself apart in 2020. His No. 51 car soared to the front of the field in the first race of the season at Jennerstown, leading each of the 133 laps. He went on to win two more races, giving him 29 career Whelen Modified Tour wins in 162 events. The 32-year-old racer won the championship by 40 points over runner-up Jon McKennedy. “It’s pretty special,” Bonsignore said. “The first one was special, too. To get back to winning another championship is important. It shows we can contend year-in and year-out. We executed and did it with everything going on—COVID and the short schedule—and that makes it even more special.” Bonsignore’s team is owned by Ken Massa, who has been fielding cars at Riverhead Raceway since 2009. Massa owns and operates the Bellport-based M3 Technology, an aerospace firm that also focuses on defense solutions. “To not be able to go there [Riverhead] was tough and disappointing,” Bonsignore said. “It’s your home track and all of your friends and family come to see you race. Hopefully, we get back there next year as things get back to normal.” He also credited crew chief Ryan Stone for the team’s success in 2020. “Our cars are well prepared,” Bonsignore said. “They bring fast cars to the track each week. We can work on the important things that we need to help the cars for the race.” Bonsignore never finished worth than fifth in a race this year. He’s the only driver in 2020 to finish inside of the top five in every race. Miller Place’s Craig Lutz finished fourth in the championship standings, earning a pair of wins. It’s the first

time he’s won multiple contests in a single season. And Riverhead’s Dave Sapienza ended the year seventh in the standings. En route to Bonsignore’s first championship, he won eight of 16 races. In 2019, he picked up six triumphs, but it wasn’t enough to defeat Doug Coby, who took home his sixth title. And if he’s fortunate to win a third championship, the celebration would truly be spectacular. “The Modified Tour will be my home for as long as I’m able to race,” he said.

“My goal is to win as many races as I can and contend for the title each year. All you can ask for is to have a shot at it at the end of the year. We’re trying to continue this stretch that we’ve been on for three years. As long as we can keep our team together, I think we should have a shot at winning a few more.” What did you think of this article?

Mineola Resident Sets Fourth Guinness World Record For Charity On Saturday, Oct. 10, Mineola resident Craig Pinto set his fourth Guinness World Record by making 149 field goals in one hour, exactly 10 years to the day of his very first world record, which took place on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2010. In 2010, 2011, and 2018, respectively, he set Guinness World Record’s for “Most Field Goals in 12 Hours” (717), “Most Field Goals in 24 Hours” (1,000), and “Most Field Goals in One Minute” (11), with all three events raising money for various charities and programs. He now adds the “Most Field Goals in One Hour” to that list. Pinto’s parents, Louis and Rosa, are both graduates of Mineola High School, where his father also kicked for the Mustang’s legendary 1967 Rutgers Cup winning football team. The site of Craig’s record breaking event—Hampton Stadium Field—is the same field where his father once
