Areas that are below 2 percent on their 14-day average and have no cluster zones. So, this will be Long Island—Nassau, Suffolk.” Already, big chains with a presence on Long Island have announced plans to open their doors. These include Showcase Cinemas, with locations in Hicksville (Broadway) and Farmingdale; AMC Cinemas (Westbury, Roosevelt Field, Levittown and Glen Cove); and Regal (Westbury). All will require masks and social distancing, as well as ticket reservations. In a press release, Showcase announced tickets and private screenings are available for The Empty Man, Tenet, Honest Thief, The New Mutants, The War With Grandpa, Unhinged and Halloween classics. In press releases, the chains indicated that they will screen employees before they can work, do extensive sanitizing in between shows and introduce other health and safety protocols. These include enhanced air purifying systems.

Petition To Change The Syosset Braves Mascot Gains Momentum SYOSSET

BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

yosset High School is being pressured by students and community members to change its mascot. Eighteen years ago, Syosset made a transition by renaming its athletic department the Braves after years of being coined the Red Hawks. Since then, a Native American caricature has served as the mascot for the Braves. A petition on the well-known community organizer change.org is calling for Syosset to change its mascot and remove the Native American from the Syosset School District completely. The petition, which can be seen at www. change.org/p/syosset-high-schoolchange-the-syosset-braves-mascot, has more than 1,100 signatures. “It’s indefensible that the school has kept this insensitive and offensive mascot up for so long,” Andrea Ruggiero commented on the petition. “If not now, then when?” The petition was created by Shivaangi Salhotra, a student at Syosset

High School. Salhotra states that since Syosset is part of the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program, “it is necessary to be sensitive towards racial issues in the district.” It goes on to state several reasons as to why Syosset needs to change its mascot, namely because of lack of respect for Native American culture in a region where this group of people were persecuted. “Having an offensive image represent our school district sets a precedent for potential insensitive actions taken in the future,” the petition states. “While multiple efforts have been unsuccessfully made to change the mascot in the past, given the current political climate, hopefully progress can be made. Especially in the 21st century, it is incorrect to let racist

symbols from a time marked by racism and bigotry define us in the name of tradition.” A district spokesperson did respond to a request for comment on the matter. The Syosset Board of Education voted to keep the Braves name and logo. “The board is aware of the community petition regarding the term ‘Braves,’” the district spokesperson said. “This summer, the [Syosset] Board of Education held public discussion about the subject over the course of two board meetings. At the close of discussion, a motion made to discontinue the use of the ‘Braves’ moniker and mascot and seek public involvement in identifying a successor did not pass.” The petition does not ask for Syosset to remove the Braves’ nickname from

Family Owned & Operated

any of the district’s sports teams. “A marginalized group’s culture is not meant to be appropriated so your stupid sports teams can feel good about themselves,” Jaya Dhanraj said on the petition. “No, it’s not honoring their culture or their people, it’s erasing it into a symbol for your own profit. This is 2020, but honestly, should we surprised that a school in the racist.” The Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball are also currently going through a reevaluation of the team’s culture based on its mascot. The Braves, as well as the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League, traditionally see fans celebrate by performing a “Tomahawk Chop.” The “Tomahawk Chop” is a controversial celebration where fans imitate a Native American chant, but it is one also seen as highly popular among fans of these teams.

FLORAL PARK

Floral Boulevard Gets Much Needed Repairs BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

f you’ve ever driven down Floral Boulevard in Floral Park’s West End section, you’ve most likely noticed that it isn’t the smoothest drive when it comes to potholes and broken up streets. However, that is about to change now that the long awaited reconstruction has started earlier this month. Discussions about the reconstruction of Floral Boulevard have been ongoing for quite awhile. “Floral Boulevard has always been a problematic road and we tried to figure out how we were going to do this road at a cost of this road,” trustee Archie Cheng said in July 2019 at a board meeting. “It’s wider than most roads in the village and it is longer than any other road, except for those that are not in our jurisdiction and the cost was prohibitive.” With the help from New York state, Floral Boulevard is now able to be reconstructed all at one time instead of being done in phases. According to Cheng, during negotiations prior to the third track project, it got testy at times. “If you think back to 2016 and how hard we were fighting for the village and the things we couldn’t ask for and the things that we asked for that we shouldn’t have asked for, one of the benefits of our negotiations during that period of time was a promise by the State of New York for a substantial sum of money that will allow us to do the repaving and the reconstruction of Floral Boulevard without doing it piecemeal,” he previously said. “The entire length will be done and you could imagine how many years it would have taken by our allocated assets for road improvements if we had to buy enough into three sections. The work would be continuous. The State of New York gave us the extra money that we didn’t expect. That’s why Floral Boulevard is going to be repaired in its entirety at one time.” The full reconstruction of Floral Boulevard will include roadways, curbs, drainage and driveway aprons. The removal of some trees, which wasn’t originally planned, is happening as well. “In regards to the Department of Public Works, many of you know the reconstruction of Floral Boulevard

has started,” Deputy Mayor Kevin Fitzgerald said at last week’s board meeting. “They’re making good progress, but unfortunately we did learn this week—we were hopeful trees wouldn’t have to come down—but it

looks like 10 will have to come down.” During the reconstruction’s initial phase, curbs and driveway aprons will be replaced. The work will start on the north side of Floral Boulevard between Carnation and Childs avenues,

then proceed west towards the Floral Park Bellerose School over the next few weeks. To minimize the impact to village residents, the work will proceed two blocks at a time in what is expected to be one-week intervals. All schedules may be subject to change due to weather conditions. Additionally, there will be no onstreet parking for the blocks under construction. All vehicles must be removed from the roadside before 7 a.m. each weekday morning and may return to the roadside after 5 p.m., which is subject to village rules and regulations. If residents have any questions regarding the work, they can call the village at 516 326-6320 or email fpbuildings@fpvillage.org. What did you think of this article?

FARMINGDALE

Cheers In Farmingdale

Library Café marks 20 years on Main Street BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

armingdale’s Library Café hit a recent milestone when it held a ribbon cutting on Friday, Oct. 16, celebrating its 20th anniversary. It’s quite an accomplishment when you consider that running a restaurant during a pandemic is not for the faint of heart given the combination of density restrictions, imposed curfews, staff furloughs and expenses incurred by restauranteurs pertaining to newly required disinfecting protocols. According to a report released by the National Restaurant Association on Sept. 14, one in six restaurants—or a total of 100,000 establishments nationwide—have “closed either permanently or long-term.” Part of the Lessing’s Hospitality Group that includes Babylon’s Post Office Café, Cold Spring Harbor’s Sandbar and Oakdale’s View, the Library Café is located at 274 Main St. in the heart of the Village of Farmingdale. And while COVID-19 has proved to be quite a challenge, the restaurant hasn’t missed a beat, a well-deserved point of pride for general manager Mike Di Troia. “We’ve been open the entire time,” Di Troia said. “We do a lot of takeout through third parties like Door Dash, Grub Hub and Over Eats. Once we opened up back in July or the end of June, a lot of our regulars started coming back. We did a lot of outdoor dining. The last couple of months it’s been great indoors. A lot of people have been coming back and supporting us by dining inside and outside, which is great.” What makes this 3,000-square-foot eatery so unique is that when it first opened its doors back in 2000, it was transitioning from being the Village of Farmingdale Public Library. Not surprisingly, a number of aspects from the old space were incorporated into the current layout, making for a unique eating experience according to Di Troia. “We have the original tin ceiling in the upstairs room along with the original ladder behind the bar, which is used to slide across the bar to pull bottles off the top shelf,” he explained. “My back bar is about 40 feet up in the air and the rear of it is all mirrored glass with liquor on it. It’s definitely the kind of trendy and good-looking place you’d find in Manhattan.” But no matter how swanky a place

Alongside burgers, sandwiches and fish dishes like miso glazed salmon, there are a number of specialty entrées and appetizers including crispy chicken ranch wraps, shrimp burrito bowls and mini-Reubens. Gluten-free and vegan options are also available. Di Troia’s favorite is the chicken bruschetta, which is two pan-fried chicken cutlets topped with tomato, onion, Kalamata olives, bruschetta, aged balsamic vinegar and

rocket arugula. When asked what he attributes the restaurant’s longevity to, the Wantagh-born general manager is quick to point out his 25-person crew. “I have been very lucky and fortunate to have such a great staff alongside me at the Library Café for the last 20 years,” Di Troia said. “We’ve been very lucky that most of my employees has been here, if not for 20 years, maybe 12 or 15 years. Because of them we have become an integral part of our Farmingdale community and in the process, our customers, especially our regulars, have become family.” It’s a sentiment Mark Lessing,

executive vice president of the Lessing’s Hospitality Restaurant Division, agrees with. “Our customers who continue to be loyal to the Library Café for the past 20-years are incredibly special to us and we thank them for being a part of our Library Café family,” he said. “We look forward to another 20 years and longer.” At a time when so many eateries are struggling to stay afloat, Di Troia admits that Farmingdale’s local officials and the loyalty of his devoted customer base has kept the Library Café going during these challenging times. “The whole community has been very supportive from the beginning,” Di Troia said. “It’s a tight little town, which is great. We have a great mayor in Mayor Ralph. He’s extremely supportive of all the restaurants and is very much involved in the Farmingdale community, which helps merchants on Main Street. It’s a lot of great people and families that come in and dine with us. We have people that met here 20 years ago and now we’re throwing engagement parties and baby showers for them. It’s like Cheers in Farmingdale.” Visit www.thelibrarycafe.com or call 516-752-7678 to find out more about the Library Café. Do you have a story you want to tell?

She Spent Her Vacation Collecting Books Eight-year-old Avana Grace Chopra, daughter of Geeta Citygirl-Chopra of Westbury, made something good out of her pandemic-imposed quarantine. She held a book drop-off donation drive in the lobby of the Maple Towers apartment on Maple Avenue to benefit The Book Fairies, a non-profit that collects reading materials for people throughout metropolitan New York, mainly underserved children and young adults. According to Geeta Chopra, “We collected, sorted by age/type and then boxed books—43 boxes (average 30-40 books per box). Some boxes, with thin paperbacks from Scholastic, held over 70 books. Book Fairies sent three minivans and we recruited 10 volunteers to help move the boxes of donated books from Westbury. It was a big undertaking from our small apartment here in the Village of Westbury and a wonderful way during our self-quarantine to do something for the community.”

friendship,” Geeta Chopra wrote to Amy Zaslansky, founder of the The Book Fairies. Zaslansky wrote back, “I can’t wait to sort through these amazing books and get them into the hands of children in need. You and Avana are making such a difference in our community. You are going to have such an impact on so many people. I sincerely appreciate your longtime support to The Book Fairies. It takes a village and both of you understand the importance of books and reading. I wish we had one hundred more of you. I can’t thank you enough.” According to The Book Fairies, “The reading materials foster literacy and academic success, provide a respite from personal struggles, and nurture a love of reading across age groups.” Visit www.thebookfairies.org to learn more about the non-profit, or call 516-557-6645. —Submitted by Geeta Citygirl-Chopra

n Saturday, Oct. 17, the Glen Cove Beautification Commission joined with Glen Cove C.A.R.E.S., Inc. in planting thousands of pink tulip bulbs throughout the City. Dozens of volunteers from both organizations as well as students from Glen Cove High School turned out to lend a hand in providing a visible reminder that early detection is the best defense against cancer. This health and awareness project, was conceived by the late Terry Petikas, founder of Glen Cove C.A.R.E.S., who enlisted the support of the Beautification Commission. Since then, Partners in Pink has become an annual community event. The bulbs are planted each fall so that when the pink tulips bloom in the spring, the community is reminded of the friends and family members affected by cancer and reminds everyone to make their annual screening appointments. “I was really proud of the turnout with these times being what they are; it was really great to see so many people from our community come

WHOSE SIDE IS LEGISLATOR DELIA DERIGGI-WHITTON ON? I read with curiosity the letter by Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton regarding New York American Water’s (NYAW) proposal to build a filtration system in Glen Head. I believe some clarification is necessary. The Sea Cliff-Glen HeadGlenwood Landing area has been subject to the private profit-mongering NYAW since 2012. This area has had private water since the late 19th century because there has been no political will or interest in municipalizing the district. Unlike Great Neck and New York City, local politicians have turned a blind eye to obtaining affordable public water. On Aug. 9, 2017, the “civic group” to which the Legislator refers held a meeting attended by approximately 400 ratepayers, local politicians and the NYAW President, wherein the community aired its grievances about the rates and service. From that meeting, another “civic” group, “North Shore Concerned Citizens” (NSCC) was created. Both groups are composed of volunteers working without pay. In 2019 and again in 2020, Senator Jim Gaughran sponsored and got passed in the Senate a bill forming a North Shore Water Authority, to allow a public corporation to buy out the assets of NYAW and operate the water service. That always has been the goal of both groups. A similar bill was introduced in the State Assembly and never passed despite support from our three

local assemblymen. Last year, after being caught lying to the Public Service Commission (PSC), criminal investigations and bad publicity from local newspapers and radio stations, NYAW submitted a petition to the Public Service Commission to sell its assets to another private water monopoly, Liberty Utilities, a Canadian company. The “civic group” and NSCC have been fighting this sale with the goal of stopping it and forcing a sale of the assets to a municipal entity. Thanks to the community pressure, the PSC is seeking proposals from municipalities and public water districts to take over the NYAW system. The only governmental entity that has been involved in this fight (other than the State legislature) is the Village of Sea Cliff. To appear and speak at these hearings, an entity must file a formal “Party Status Request.” Such Requests have been filed by the Village of Sea Cliff, NSCC and the Glen Head-Glenwood Landing Civic Council. Other municipalities and another volunteer group, L.I. CAWS, on the South Shore, have filed Requests. The Town of Hempstead, Village of Sea Cliff and Massapequa Water District have commissioned feasibility studies. Notably absent from these proceedings are the Nassau County Legislature and the Oyster Bay Town Board, both of which have been asked to join in the fight and have failed to do so. DeRiggi-Whitton’s article focuses on a $1,000,000 building

which will cost $200 per ratepayer. This is not a minimal charge but approximately one year ago, NYAW agreed in writing to build a new Glen Head water tower for $3.2 million. When it was built, they said that the cost is $6.4 million. That will cost each ratepayer $600, three times the amount. When the “civic group” and NSCC complained about this, the DeRiggi-Whitton and other elected officials did nothing. The complaint about the $200 is relatively minor compared to the cost paid every month to this profiteering company. Our rates are approximately five times what our neighbors pay to a public company. Instead of focusing on the $200, the focus should be on getting private water out of Nassau County. Suffolk County, Great Neck and New York City have done this. NYAW services 10 percent of Nassau County. Whenever DeRiggi-Whitton was asked about the county getting involved, it was always, “The County has no money.” No “civic group” approved this filtration system building. “Civic groups” do not approve building applications or issue building permits. The water company submitted an application to the zoning board of appeals and it was approved. Notices for these hearings are published in the same newspapers that published the legislator’s letter. Property owners within 300 feet were notified. They and their civic representatives met with

the town zoning board and water company representatives. There were several meetings held—in person, virtually and by conference call. The Village of Sea Cliff approved the application. It is hard to believe that DeRiggi-Whitton did not know about these meetings unless you consider the fact that this building is not in her district. This proposed structure is in the 18th Legislative District. She represents the 11th District. The building was also approved after an expert on commercial filtration systems, a retired water commissioner and university professor, stated a building was necessary for the system to properly function during sub-freezing conditions and this is the recommended method of construction in cold climates. The legislator wants the ratepayers to call American Water. Thousands of ratepayers have already signed petitions to get rid of this company. The ratepayers have a chance to speak at the public part of the PSC hearings in November. How about the County Legislature doing its civic and ethical duty and getting involved in the fight to get all of Nassau County public water? This company and any of these other private water monopolies are ripping off 10 percent of Nassau County. This is a county issue. Let’s look at the big picture. —Lloyd Nadel Lloyd Nadel is the attorney for the Glen Head-Glenwood Landing Civic Council

Comfort And Convenience With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, especially during the COVID-19 era, many folks find themselves longing for convenience. Working from home, remote learning and responsibilities around the house mean less down time and less time to prepare meals. This can lead to us feeling stretched beyond ourselves and therefore very cranky. Wherever we can, we search for shortcuts that help us to manage our time wisely. This helps us to feel a sense of normalcy and accomplishment, even during a crisis. When my husband and I began to date, I was aware that his parents worked full-time. My mother-in-law picked up my father-in-law from the Hicksville train station, then drove back home to create a beautiful dinner for her family. My husband offered to cook for her, which enabled her to have a little personal time to decompress after a hard day at the office. One day, I noticed that he was engrossed in the tedious task of peeling potatoes for a side dish of mashed potatoes. I looked at him quizzically and asked why he lacked a box of Hungry Jack or Idahoan instant mashed potatoes on hand for a midweek dinner side dish. He gave me a look

convenient meal for him included a carry-out pizza or takeout from Fo Ming in Old Bethpage. When his parents returned that evening, I mentioned the instant mashed potatoes.

Riders would also welcome a return of Saturday and holiday express services, which briefly ran in the early 1950s, along with more frequent local service off-peak, late evenings, overnight and weekends. There are opportunities to increase capacity and service. There is equipment used primarily for rush hour peak service that is available to provide additional service during off peak hours. It is a question of finding millions of dollars more to cover operating costs for additional service.

supplied her with the vital nutrition necessary to get her through the rest of her day. In the beginning of her mealprep phase, our girl headed over to ShopRite to purchase chicken, fresh vegetables and pre-made rice packets. She used segmented reusable containers to portion out her food. This worked well in the beginning. After a while, she grew tired of cooking mass quantities and looked for an easier way. Enter companies like Freshly and Eat Better Meals. With the company “Eat

Better Meals,” an order for a week’s worth of meals that are tailored to your specific diet had to be placed by Thursday at 10 p.m. The meals were delivered on Sunday evening in a refrigerated bag. Each meal was labeled and could be microwaved when needed. As an aside, a new company opened on West John Street several weeks ago. It operates off the same premise and is called, “Healthy Meals Direct.” If you are meal prepping and need a shortcut, they can customize your meals based on dietary needs or challenges. Whether you prep ahead of time or create and refrigerate until it is time for dinner, we can all use a bit of convenience now and then. While nothing takes the place of a home-cooked meal from scratch, when time is of the essence, shortcuts can help us to get the job done.

Connecting During COVID-19 COVID-19 has altered our lives in many ways. The pandemic has also changed the dating landscape and how we connect with one another. When reaching out to, and making plans with others, people must take safety precautions and their comfort level into consideration. Navigating our new normal has brought so many changes, one of which is the video date. Many dating app/site users have begun to use the video feature to get to know those they are matching with a bit better and/or in the place of an in-person meeting. For many, connecting in a virtual format and using this mode of communication for an extended period of time can lead to a bit of anxiety. Below are some pointers for carrying out a successful video date: 1.

Kindergarteners at the Carle Place School District’s Cherry Lane Elementary School transitioned to the outdoors during a lesson on sequencing. While keeping a safe distance from each other, students set up their portable desks, sat on towels and enjoyed the fresh air throughout the lesson.

The Garden City Public Schools’ Stewart School is proud of the ways in which art teacher Melissa Pashayan has used her talents to brighten others’ lives. She painted a mural at Northwell Hospital in Manhasset alongside her sister Laura Pashayan, who is an art teacher as well and works at Holy Child Academy in Old Westbury. The pair has helped to create a serene environment for medical workers and was featured on NBC’s George to the Rescue on Oct. 17. The sisters were delighted at the opportunity to help revamp the maternity ward’s Lavender Room, where doctors and nurses engaged in splatter paint art therapy in the midst of the pandemic. The George to the Rescue crew decided to fix up this room for the hospital’s staff as a way of thanking them for their efforts. Both teachers were recruited by Garden City resident Liz Kohart, an interior designer involved with the show and project. She was drawn to the sunset portraits that Laura paints and proposed the idea of a similar theme, incorporating shades of lavender, spanning across the room’s wall. The artists spent a weekend painting the mural, which gives the space a peaceful, calming ambiance

that helps doctors and other medical staff relax in between their busy shifts. “Overall, this was such an amazing experience,” Pashayan said. “It made us feel so wonderful to know that our artwork was hanging up in a room dedicated to nurses and doctors. To be able to share such a special experience with my sister makes it all the more gratifying and something that I will never forget.”

President Seeks Another Mandate BY FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

he coronavirus changed everything. In its absence, it is thought that President Donald J. Trump would have had a much easier path to reelection. Now, Election Day 2020 has become a mandate on the president’s handling of the pandemic, and the resultant economic dislocations and suffering. Some polls show Democratic challenger Joseph R. Biden with a double-digit lead. But everybody remembers 2016, when Hillary Clinton seemed to have a lock on the presidency, until tens of thousands of votes in several swings states swung the Electoral College in favor of the real estate mogul. The president’s supporters generally point to his handling of the economy, with a glance at the record-high stock market. Until the pandemic, labor participation and unemployment were near historic levels. Others cite his filling the federal judiciary and Supreme Court with judges who might achieve one of the conservatives’ holy grails, reversing the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortions. They see this cadre of jurists as a bulwark against future liberal tendencies by the executive and legislative branches. Though never reaching an overall positive job approval rating, the president has drawn good marks on keeping the country safe and on “law and order” issues. Conservatives have also cheered the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 for lowering tax rates for corporations and individuals, though those for low earners will have a sunset provision. In addition, his trade, tariff and regulatory policies, not to mention his tough immigration stance, have earned the president a

solid base of support. What his detractors see as his decidedly unpolitical behavior are embraced by his supporters. Biden and running mate Kamala Harris seek a return to the norms that, with his unorthodox political style, the president has shattered. The former longtime senator and vice president wants to restore normalcy to politics and heal the political divide. His campaign theme is “Battle for the Soul of the Nation.” His campaign website lists 50 proposals and plans that cover everything from race relations to bringing back manufacturing jobs. Under the banner of “Bold Ideas,” the campaign promised, “We aren’t just going to rebuild what has worked in the past. This is our opportunity to build back better than ever.” Biden has rejected the big vision programs of his party’s far left, such as Medicare for All and the Green New Deal (though his Biden Plan to put “the United States on an irreversible path to achieve net-zero emissions, economy-wide, by no later than 2050” shares the goals of the Green New Deal). The GOP has tried to paint Biden as a socialist, or at the very least, someone who can be captured by the Democrat’s left wing. “I beat the socialist,” Biden said in response, referring to primary rival Senator Bernie Sanders.

Not So Blue Looking at the presidential results in New York State for 2016 belies the state’s “deep blue” label. Yes, Clinton defeated Trump 59 to 36.5 percent. But take away the five NYC boroughs and her margin of victory was much narrower. In fact, of the 67 counties in the state, Trump won 50 of them and flipped 19 counties that had gone for Barack Obama in 2012. Closer to home, the Republican candidate won Suffolk County (51-46) while Clinton took Nassau (51-45). Nassau County Republican Committee Chair Joseph Cairo told Anton Media Group that voter enthusiasm for President Trump remains high, stating, “There are people who might not put Trump signs out on their front lawn, but they’re going to come out and support him. I think more now than four years ago. The issues of bail reform, defunding the police—people are motivated.” Nassau County and New York State Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs stated, “I think that upstate will still go for Trump, but not

as much. And across the country, rural communities will go for Trump a lot less than they did in 2016. I think it’s a very different election. The voters were taking a chance last time. Now they know. They’ve got more information to go by and people aren’t loving a lot of what they’re seeing in Trump—the divisiveness, and the manners and the language and the lack of respect. All those things.” U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was asked by Anton Media Group how Biden could regain the counties that President Trump won. “He is the right candidate to win back those areas,” she replied. “I won most of them back in 2018 when I ran for reelection. I believe voters have seen a disappointing performance out of President Trump. And I think they’ve seen him mishandle this COVID pandemic severely. They’ve seen rising unemployment and a lot of families suffer. I think they’re looking for a leader who knows how to bring people together and not divide us. And someone who gets things done—and

Joe Biden is the man for that.” Retiring representative Peter King (R–2nd District) was asked by Anton Media Group, “What advice would you give President Trump to win Long Island?” “First thing is knock off getting in petty fights with people,” King replied. “Focus on the economy and also say he’s going to take another look at reinstating the SALT deduction,” referring to the state and local taxes that, under the tax cut passed in 2017, limited SALT deductions to $10,000 on the federal tax return. “He meant well, but realizes it’s unfair and find some way to take another look at it. But mainly, focus on the economy. And also, he has done a great job on MS-13. We had 25 [gang-related] murders in my district alone. Since he got involved, we’ve had none. He really got heavily involved with Homeland Security and the FBI and giving high-tech equipment to the Suffolk County cops and all of that. He came twice to my congressional district [to deal with MS-13]. That’s almost unheard of.”

Northwell Health Creates COVID-19 Predictive Tool What this new tool means for hospitals and COVID-19 patients BY EMILY SAUCHELLI esauchelli@antonnews.com

orthwell Health has created the first-of-its-kind COVID-19 predictive tool. The head of the team who created this new endeavor is Paul Lambson, corporate director of consumer insights and analytics at Northwell Health. The thought of creating a resource to help combat COVID-19 was brought to Lambson’s attention in the earlier months of the pandemic by a Northwell physician. “I was approached by one of the doctors in Northwell, who in normal times was actually not a practicing doctor, but an administrator,” Lambson explained. “During COVID-19, he got called back during the first wave—March, April, May time. He got called back in the front line and was working in the pediatric ICU. When things calmed down in June, he came to me and we worked on a couple of things. He explained to me how desperate it was for him to be on the front lines, how the suffering [is unlike anything he’s ever] seen and working with pregnant mothers who had COVID-19 and working through their delivery.” Lambson said the basis of this project is centered around Northwell Health’s website traffic—specifically where patients were clicking in regard to their searches. “We talked about search trends,” he said. “Google had a flu predictor based on what people’s search terms were. Me and my team took that back. Our imperative was, we need to use whatever data that we have to try to find some way to help the health system prepare for a spike.” Lambson adds that there was not much clinical data—measurements and determinants of health—to work with, so the team had to come up with new methods to find a pattern that worked as a form of prediction. “We categorized the website into a bunch of different ways that someone would interact with our system,” he said. “So, people request appointments, they looked at doctor’s profiles. They will find a number to call. We look at it as, what actions did they take or what kind of ways they’re using the website. So, we categorize the website

into these—we eventually used 15 of them—distinct categories. Then, we use machine learning algorithms to test it against whether it could predict COVID-19 diagnoses in our system. Then once we knew the ones we liked we immediately had to test—how far in advance should we be on the testing? Two weeks seemed to have the best relationship. COVID-19 diagnoses have a very day of week dependent nature. Then we refined the model and ran it through a couple different types of machine learning algorithms.” Lambson said the predictions are made through the use of monitoring Northwell Health’s website. “At the end of the day, we get a tally of how many people look for doctors, how many people look for wait times, how many people requested an appointment and all kinds of things,” he said. “We saw that more people than usual decided to request an appointment, less people than usual decided to look at wait times, for example. There’s 15 categories to an equation or an algorithm that we have trained and built with previous data and that will tell us this—that two weeks from today, we expect the COVID-19 cases in our hospitals to be at this level.”

In addition to the website traffic, there is clinical information that is used, in addition, as a way to monitor the COVID-19 trends. “The hospital has a suite of tools,” Lambson said. “The departments that are not mine are monitoring a lot of vital signs and oxygen saturation levels—and a lot of things that come from hospital settings—those go into the monitoring suite that the system uses. This algorithm goes into a dashboard that is basically a line chart that shows the trend we’ve been seeing in COVID-19 cases per day. Then it shows a forecast of what the next two weeks look like.” According to Lambson, the dashboard does not predict the number of people who are hospitalized, but rather the number of people who test positive for COVID-19 whether they are in an in-patient or out-patient setting. Lambson and the Northwell Health team are grateful to be able to share this new tool with other hospitals across the country. “It was so important for us—for me, personally— to share this code as wide as we can,” he explained. “We felt it was important to share our knowledge with the global domain of knowledge to hopefully fast track

Diagnosed With Breast Cancer While Pregnant A look inside the process of treatment and diagnosis BY EMILY SAUCHELLI esauchelli@antonnews.com

Breast cancer alone is a struggle for any woman. However, being pregnant and finding out you have breast cancer is a whole other struggle that can be met with fear and uncertainty. Dr. Ruby Sharma is a medical oncologist at Northwell Health, who shares her insight into the different treatment options and resources women have.

Q A

I just saw one patient this mornYes, it is. It is relatively uncoming, and it’s still very fresh in my mon. Breast cancer occurs in mind. A woman who is pregnant and about one and 3,000 pregnancies.

These cancer medicines about how it felt to discuss can enter the breast milk and can be with your patient? Usually, these are young patients. They don’t go for mammograms. In terms of how they are diagnosed, either the patient herself would feel something in the breast. Pregnant breasts are very small and tender. It’s hard to feel a mass, but if a patient ever feels a mass, they really should get it investigated. They should not ignore it. So, in this case, the obstetrics and gynecology doctor felt a mass and sent her for imaging. But of course, patients are somewhat devastated when they get the news. So, [this patient] was very emotional this morning. She actually works in health care, so she kind of knows what is involved. She was overwhelmed. I spent a good five to 10 minutes of reassuring the family—and not just the patient, the whole family—and to tell them that they will be okay. Monter Cancer Center

passed on to the baby. In most cases, breastfeeding is not recommended when a patient is on cancer medications. But, there’s often a two-week time window between delivery and starting cancer treatment.

Q A

What are ways to protect the baby other than the placenta? We avoid any imaging that involves radiation. For example, a CT scan or a PET scan is not done in a pregnant patient, which we would do otherwise in our cancer patients. But, other imaging studies like a mammogram, a sonogram, they’re okay, but we do use abdominal shield to protect the baby. In some cases, if we need an MRI, that can be done without contrast. First trimester is when the baby is actually being formed—the organs are all forming. So, that’s when we avoid any treatment. But in second and third trimester, that’s the period of fetal growth. So, we give treatments that are necessary—whether it’s surgery or chemotherapy. The patient is followed by high risk OBGYN doctors, and they monitor physical growth and development after every chemotherapy cycle.

Q A

What advice can you give women who are going through this process? Breast cancer diagnoses are very complex. It definitely

needs to be treated at a center with a team of experts who specialize in cancer treatment as well as high-risk pregnancy issues. I think the other biggest thing is that termination of pregnancy is not necessary in most cases. Often time people don’t realize that. They come to me saying ‘we were told that we have to terminate the baby to go ahead with cancer treatment.’ When I tell them that termination is not necessary they feel very relieved. It’s important for people to understand that pregnant patients can safely get treatment for breast cancer, and they can continue their pregnancy. Most patients are cancer free after completing their treatment, and they’re able to have a happy and a healthy baby. In terms of outcome or prognosis—if the cancer is treated appropriately, the prognosis or outcome is very good.

Feinstein Institutes Have A Breakthrough

Researchers find effective COVID-19 ‘cytokine storm’ treatment

ome immune systems have responded to COVID-19 infections by going into overdrive, resulting in an overzealous inflammatory response referred to as a cytokine storm. In a retrospective study of nearly 6,000 patients, researchers from the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and Northwell COVID-19 Research Consortium have identified the most effective immunomodulatory therapies to treat patients with evidence of this cytokine storm and improve patient survival. A multidisciplinary team of investigators, led by Negin Hajizadeh, a pulmonary and critical care physician, and associate professor at the Feinstein Institutes, analyzed the electronic health records of hospitalized COVID-19 patients across 12 of Northwell Health hospitals—New York State’s largest health system—between March 1 and April 24. The results were published in CHEST, by Sonali Narain, assistant professor at the Feinstein Institutes, corresponding author, and team. Patients were divided into one of six groups; no immunomodulatory

more than 65 percent had never smoked. Contradictory to previous reports, the black population was associated with better survival compared to white patients. Additionally, the most common comorbidities across the groups of patients that experienced a cytokine storm include: • Hypertension (44-59 percent) • Diabetes (32-46 percent) • Cardiovascular disease (5-14 percent) • Chronic kidney disease (5-12 percent) • Cancer (5-11 percent) The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research is located on Northern Boule• Asthma (3-12 percent) vard in Manhasset.

What To Know About Gynecological Cancer A look inside resources and symptoms

BY EMILY SAUCHELLI Esauchelli@antonnews.com

According to Dr. Eva Chalas, gynecological cancer is a condition that is very common. Chalas specializes in gynecologic oncology at NYU Winthrop Hospital’s Perlmutter Cancer Center. She said there are ways women can learn about the disease through knowledge and shared details on how she ended up in this profession.

Q A

What is gynecological cancer composed of? Basically, it’s malignancy that arises in the female genital track. It could be from the external going external—the vulva, fallopian tubes and ovaries, and sometimes the abdominal cavity, which is called peritoneal cancer.

Q A

What are the symptoms of gynecological cancer that women should look out for? Gynecological cancers can occur at any age, however there far more common after menopause then before. They’re typically, most of the women in their 50s to 80s, and rarely also 90s. If you think something is wrong, you should have it investigated. I think most women know their bodies. Sometimes people ignore symptoms. So, if we go from outside in on the vulva, the most common symptom of, malignancy, is either itching or presence of a lump, or an ulcer that’s not healing. Those are obviously concerns. Any kind of bleeding—that’s outside of the norm. Certainly, bleeding after menopause is completely outside of the norm. Sometimes women think they just haven’t gone through their changes, and they feel like that’s normal or they talk to their friends and they said, ‘yeah had some spotting.’ In general, it’s considered abnormal. That could be a sign of cervical cancer. Then of course, the presence of any kind of a mass or lump in your belly, is something that needs to be investigated. Ovarian cancer can present with bloating—feeling of fullness. You don’t have much of an appetite. You eat something and you’re full quickly. Most women are pretty much aware of those kind of symptoms, which may come just as a part of the norm.

Dr. Eva Chalas. (Photo courtesy of NYU Winthrop) Eating something that’s gassy, [the result is] you get a little bloated. This is something that doesn’t go away—it basically progresses. It’s not one meal that caused it. It’s happened several times in the course of a month, and maybe it’s happening more frequently. Those are all things that women should be aware of and investigate.

After a woman finds out she has a symptom, when should she get checked?

The sooner the better. Obviously, if there’s a problem, the sooner you’re on top of it, the less of a problem they come. Sadly—for things like ovarian, fallopian tube and peritoneal cancers—many of the symptoms I described actually occur as part of late disease, meaning already advanced. The cancer has already spread. That’s the unfortunate thing. Sadly, there’s also no way to screen for these. I think the most important thing is if you think something is wrong, seek help quickly. One of the things that people do is they’ll call the doctor’s office and say, ‘I need to be seen,’ but they don’t make it clear that it’s an urgent situation or that they’re very concerned. So, the front desk staff usually is the one that decides how quickly you can get in based on your symptoms. So, if the woman is concerned, they may want to insist on speaking with either one of the providers, like a nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant (PA) to say, ‘I’m concerned about these symptoms. How fast do I need to be seen?’ or to speak with the physician directly. Let’s say you have abnormal bleeding. If you think that something is wrong, don’t wait for three months

to make an appointment. Don’t accept an appointment in three months. It’s best to say, ‘I need to be seen urgently because I think this is a problem.’

Q A

What made you want to go into medicine as gynecological cancer specialist? I think it’s two things. One is, the person who was a gynecological oncologist during my residency was a very inspiring individual. The patients were very inspiring. It was a pleasure to work with them and try to do our best to help them. Also, the drive. I think everyone likes to try to help people. The fact that people appreciate that is a big plus. I think it was a combination of all those efforts—the mentorship and also the interactions with the patients.

Q A

How did you being hospitalized as a child affect you wanting to go into medicine? I was about 10 years old. I got sick, when we were on vacation in Yugoslavia, and my parents rushed me home. I got into the hospital and they discovered that I had a very severe kidney infection. The pediatrician who took care of me really did a great job. I knew I was very sick, and they helped me and I enjoyed the environment. Despite the fact that it was a hospital and I was 10 years old, I thought it was incredible what they did for kids. I think that [experience] nurtured my love of medicine or started my love of medicine. I volunteered in the hospital when I was in college. I was impressed by what people do to help others and really became single minded about a profession in medicine—choosing obstetrics and gynecology.

What To Know About Ea Where and how to cast your vote

Early voting is an opportunity to secure your vote before Election Day. No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, it’s important to have your vote count. Being that our country is still battling the coronavirus pandemic, it’s important to make sure your choice is represented and reflected at the polls. According to a poll organized by The Associated Press, there are more than 20 million people that have voted in the general election, as of Oct. 16, spanning states across the country. According to L2 Political, data shows that out of the ballots cast thus far, 20 percent were cast by voters who did not vote in their state four years ago—for the 2016 election—compared to 25 percent of people who did not vote in the general election in 2016.

New York State

For New York, in particular, absentee ballot applications can be received in-person, by-mail or online. According to Vote.org, in-person ballots must be received no later than the day before Election Day. For by-mail, your application must be postmarked seven days before Election Day. For online absentee ballots, the ballots must be received seven days before Election Day. Vote.org also shares a variety of resources— polling place locator, early-voting locations, as well as dropbox and ballot information to name a few—for those looking to understand New York State voter guidelines. To learn more, visit www.vote.org. According to the New York Staate Board Elections, the last day to apply for in-person for an absentee ballot is Nov. 2. For additional resources, visit The New York State Board of Elections website, www.elections.ny.gov/ ElectionLaw.html

Nassau County

On the local side, Nassau County has specific polling places for early voters. The following is a list provided by The Nassau County Board of Elections. If you do not decide to vote early, and would like to vote on Nov. 3, you must go to your specific polling location—county, first name, last name, date of birth and zip code—based on the area you live in.

The Massapequa School District has once again received an Aa1 credit rating from Moody’s Investors Services. This is the second-highest out of 21 possible credit ratings and represents the district’s strong financial health. Considered in the rating are the district’s tax base, resident wealth, debt burden and pension and other post-employment benefit liabilities. Moody’s noted Massapequa’s sizeable tax base and healthy reserve levels. The higher credit rating will result in lower borrowing costs for the district for serial bonds which fund capital improvements. Massapequa residents approved bond referendums in 2018 for renovations to elementary and middle school classrooms, bathroom upgrades and the installation of classroom air conditioning district-wide, and in 2019 for renovations to the Massapequa High School and Berner Middle School auditoriums, upgrades to the middle school music suite, foundation repairs at McKenna Elementary School and a new main entrance at the Ames Campus. In addition to the Aa1 credit rating, the district remains in good standing in the New York State Comptroller’s fiscal stress monitoring report. Massapequa’s per-pupil spending remains below the Nassau County average for K-12

The board of education adopts an annual reserve plan and has continued to propose budgets at or below the district’s tax cap. “The Moody’s credit rating reflects the prudent financial planning by the Massapequa School District, which benefits our taxpayers with lower borrowing costs as we make necessary improvements to our facilities,” Deputy Superintendent Alan Adcock said. “We are proud that credit rating agencies such as Moody’s continue to recognize our hard work to deliver quality education in clean and safe buildings at a reasonable cost to Massapequa residents.”

(Photo courtesy of the Levittown Public Schools) Four seniors from Division Avenue High School in the Levittown Public Schools, along with a junior from Hicksville High School, recently started Patterns for Patients, a small nonprofit organization that sends care packages filled with handmade bracelets, toys, stickers and masks (if allowed) to pediatric hospitals. Striving to spread joy, Tarangini Arunachalam, Mahek Mody, Rhythm Osan and Vicky Zhang from Division Avenue High School and Jason Jiang from Hicksville High School have made it their mission to donate care packages to as many hospitals as possible. Thus far, they have already donated a total of 125 individually wrapped bracelets to St. Luke’s in Boise, ID, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center and John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital in Buffalo. To help raise funds for their care packages, the five students have been creating and selling bracelets, as well as accepting donations. During October, the group is working on a special Breast Cancer Awareness project where they are selling bracelets to raise awareness with all of the proceeds supporting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The idea to start the non-profit was sparked from downtime during the pandemic.

North Shore Elementary School students in Sea Cliff across the grade levels in Ryan Bridgwood’s STEAM classes recently became microbiologists and epidemiologists while exploring how bacteria may spread. In this relevant, highly engaging, and hands-on exploration, students were given a special hand lotion used to train health professionals on proper aseptic techniques (e.g., such as hand washing). By simulating germs, this special hand solution allowed students to see how easily bacteria can spread through touch and see how much work is needed to properly wash your hands. Bridgwood walked around his class shining a blue light on the hands of each of his students so that they could visibly see an “orange color” representing the “potential germs.” He then asked his students to wash their hands with soap and warm water. As the lesson concluded, the students got to experiment with simulations used to model the spread of disease, learning how varying levels of disease prevention could result in less spread of disease. The week started off with Farmingdale students donning their most colorful tie dye attire in hues of various colors. Tuesday brought with it a battle of the fans with Biggest Fan Tuesday. Showing support for breast cancer survivors was the theme of Wednesday’s “Pink Out” day. Superhero Thursday saw Farmingdale students doing their best superhero impersonations. Spirit Week culminated with “Let’s Go Dalers Friday,” in which students were decked out in their best Farmingdale clothes to show their pride for their district. While this year’s Spirit Week looked

different from the year’s past, that didn’t stop students, staff, and faculty alike from showing their pride for the Farmingdale School District. The pride and community displayed by this week’s events showed that being a Daler means having a lifelong support system and that once you’re a part of the Farmingdale family, you’re always a part of the Farmingdale family.

The Elmont community would like to thank the New York Islanders for their generous donation of $100,000. The scholars in the Elmont Union Free School District and Elmont and Sewanhaka High Schools will each benefit. A pair of $50,000 checks were presented to each of the high schools. This money will help the school district provide wi-fi service to students to continue their education during COVID-19 from home. The funds will also provide support for English Language and Foreign Language Arts enrichment.

We kind of thought about it for a little while and decided that it would be the best move to bring the two most popular dog walking pet sitting companies together.” The dog walking and sitting staff at Suburban Pets are trained by the managers through different techniques. Currently, there are 40 people on staff at Suburban Pets which includes training managers, walkers/sitters and human resources. Licata has high hopes for the future of Suburban Pets. “Since we’ve been merged, we’ve actually purchased two other dog walking and pet sitting businesses as well, and we kind of branched out, which was awesome,” Licata added. “I think that our future plans are to take over possibly other towns on Long Island. I know we always want to grow and get bigger and stronger to service more of the island that we love and that we grew up on.” Visit www.longislandweekly. com to read a longer version of this story.

ot everyone can say that they are doing what they are truly passionate about for their career. Therese Villemure and Lindsay Licata are the co-owners of Suburban Pets—a dog walking and pet sitting company that serves most areas of Nassau County and western Suffolk County. “I think we both ultimately wanted to have our own businesses,” Licata said. “We both grew up with pets. [We] just [were] wanting to be able to provide pet care for people at an affordable and professional rate. Doing something that we love is basically what drove us to create the business that we have now.” Both women started out on different paths before they found their true passion—working with animals. Villemure realized her true calling after being in another industry for some time. “I was working in the health care field for about 15 years, and I was finishing up my MBA and decided that I just wasn’t fulfilled,” Villemure explained. “I gave my job notice, and I started Suburban Pets.” Licata started out as a cosmetologist. From that point on, in being a part of the salon, her passion for animals blossomed. “I would discuss [my clients’ pets] with them [and ask] if they had any pets and all that,” Licata explained. “One of my clients called me up one day and said, ‘Hey, my son is coming home from the Marines and he is getting a

pitbull puppy,’ which she knew was my favorite breed. ‘We live right by the salon. I was wondering if before your shift you could just come by and if you’d be interested in taking dogs for a walk while we’re out.’ I said absolutely So I started doing that and I loved it.” Suburban Pets is structured in a specific way to make sure a variety of pet needs are met. Villemure said Suburban Pets is two-fold, meaning it has two sides to the business. “The majority of our business is daily dog walking for people who either commute to the city or [who] are out of their homes for several hours a day,” Villemure added. “We go into the home, check on the pet, take him [the dog] for a walk, give a treat, sometimes feed him or them. The other part of our business is pet sitting. We go to our clients’ homes while they’re on vacation and care for their pets. We do everything from feeding [to] medication administration. We [also] give insulin.” Founded in 2011 by Villemure, Suburban Pets serves a variety of animals as part of their business— including Guinea pigs, rabbits and even pigeons. “It’s not just dogs that we service,” Licata said. “We have a lot of cat clients who need litter box scooping. We have a few bird clients who need their seed or their cages cleaned.” In 2018, Villemure and Licata merged their businesses together.

A roundup of iconic Tim Burton and Ray Harryhausen films

BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

When you think of artists Tim Burton or Ray Harryhausen, you’re instantly reminded of some of the most classic and eccentric horror/fantasy films that were ever created. Although both Burton and Harryhausen cater to different audiences and generations with their films, one thing is for certain. The films of these visionaries will continue to be admired for years to come because of their daringness and innovation. Take a trip down memory lane with this roundup of some of the most classic Burton and Harryhausen films.

Beetlejuice This Burton-directed fantasy comedy horror 1988 film revolves around a recently deceased young couple played by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis who become ghosts who haunt their former idyllic Connecticut country home. The two ghouls are joined by an often obnoxious and devious poltergeist named Betelgeuse (pronounced Beetlejuice), who was portrayed by Michael Keaton from the Netherworld, who tries to scare away the new inhabitants permanently. The film spawned an animated television series, video games and a musical as well.

Jason and the Argonauts Jason and the Argonauts was a 1963 Anglo-American independently made fantasy film that was based on Greek mythology that is most notably known for its iconic fight scene that featured seven skeleton warriors. The film starred Todd Armstrong as the eponymous hero Jason, along with Nancy Kovack, Honor Blackman, and Gary Raymond. Shot in Eastman Color, the film was made in collaboration with stop-motion animation master Harryhausen, who claimed that Jason and the Argonauts was one of the best films he ever created.

Edward Scissorhands This 1990 American romantic dark fantasy film was directed and produced by Burton. In Edward Scissorhands, Johnny Depp plays an artificial man named Edward, an unfinished creation who has scissor blades instead of hands. Edward is taken in by a suburban family where he falls in love with their teenage daughter Kim, who was played by Winona Ryder. The idea of Edward Scissorhands came from a drawing that Burton did when he was a teenager reflecting his feelings of isolation and being unable to communicate with people around him.

20 Million Miles to Earth 20 Million Miles to Earth was a 1957 American black and white science fiction monster film that was directed by Nathan H. Juran and was developed to showcase the stop-motion animation of Harryhausen. The film tells the story of a manned space flight from Venus, which crash lands in the Mediterranean, losing its most precious cargo, reptilian eggs, from the planet’s surface. They come into the possession of an Italian zoologist who watches as one hatches to reveal a rapidly-growing monster. His American granddaughter, Marisa, and returned astronaut, Calder, must battle with the American

and Italian military to corral the creature before it destroys everything in its path.

The Nightmare Before Christmas The Nightmare Before Christmas is a 1993 American stop-motion animated musical dark fantasy Halloween-Christmas film that was produced and conceived by Burton. It tells the story of Jack Skellington, the King of Halloween Town, who stumbles through a portal to Christmas Town and decides to celebrate the holiday. The film originated in a poem written by Burton in 1982 while he was working as an animator at Walt Disney Feature Animation. The film was met with both critical and financial success, grossing over $76 million during its initial run.

A Spooky History The origins of Halloween

BY CODY SULLIVAN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Every year, the month of October becomes a unique spectacle. There is no other time when it is appropriate to adorn your house with dismembered bodies, murderous clowns and giant spiders. Halloween, and the weeks leading up to it are a time to embrace the dark and otherworldly. This is just the modern incarnation of a tradition that dates back thousands of years. Halloween’s origins arise from Northern Europe, and the Celts of the Iron Age who lived there. Their festival of Samhain, which translates to “summer’s end,” marked the Celtic new year and the end of the harvest season. During this festival, it was believed that the separation between the spiritual and physical worlds vanished. The spirits of the dead came back and played tricks on

the living. Many would burn sacrificial livestock and crops in bonfires to gain favor with these spirits and have good fortune in the winter to come. Costumes were also worn in the hopes of disguising oneself as the ghostly spirits they wished to avoid. Centuries later, the Roman Empire conquered much of the world including the region inhabited by the Celts. The festival of Samhain was still a popular tradition, but the Roman leadership wanted to spread Christianity. The Romans already had a holiday dedicated to honoring dead saints and martyrs called AllHallows. Given the two traditions’ similar themes of death, the Romans changed the date of All-Hallows to coincide with the Festival of Samhain. They co-opted the holiday to be a day of honoring Christian saints and martyrs to encourage Christian beliefs. All-Hallows was changed to be on

Nov. 1, making Oct. 31 All-Hallows Eve. The traditions of this hybrid holiday included many of the original Samhain traditions. Costumes were still worn and offerings were still made to spirits, but now they were the spirits of saints. Each All-Hallows, poorer families would go house to house to receive offerings. In exchange, the poor families would pray for the souls of the homeowners’ dead loved ones. This practice of going door-to-door later became almost exclusively a child’s activity. They would sing songs and give other performances in exchange for treats. Colonial America, being primarily Protestant, did not celebrate Halloween until the 19th century. As Irish and Scottish immigrants came over, so did their traditions. However, people in America heavily indulged in the tradition of playing tricks and causing mischief. So

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.

much so, that there was even a movement to ban Halloween in the 1900s. This led to a push for more community focused activities to keep young people out of trouble. Halloween parades were held and neighborhood trickor-treating as we know it today was born. With the onset of World War II and sugar rationing, trick-or-treating was briefly stopped. However, by the 1950s it was once again a prominent tradition. Today, the average American spends $25 on candy each Halloween. Nationwide, that’s $2.6 billion. Halloween in America is no longer about appeasing the spirits of the dead, but the spirit of the holiday itself remains the same. Then and now, Halloween is about not just embracing that universal fear we share, but celebrating it.

After his travels, Noah returned to Manhattan to work as a paralegal at the distinguished law firm of Morrison & Foerster LLP in the Capital Markets Group. He then enrolled in The George Washington University Law School, where he made GW Law Review and formed a lasting positive impression on the students and faculty. Upon finishing his first year at the top of his class, Noah decided to move back home to New York and transfer to Columbia Law School. Most recently, Noah was selected as a member of the Columbia Journal of Transnational Law. Noah lived every day of life to the fullest. He was passionate about all types of music, fine food, and great conversation. He lived life with spontaneity and joy, always willing to drop what he was doing to support a friend or family member that needed him. Noah knew life was a precious gift, and his greatest pleasure was sharing life’s best offerings with the ones he loved. Noah spoke out against injustice. He recognized privilege, which weighed heavily on him and fueled his desire to help those facing adversity. He challenged those around him to broaden their

own thinking. He never backed down from a spirited debate and used his intellect, eloquence, and empathy for others to defend what was right. Noah will forever be remembered with an abundance of love by his parents, Steven and Elizabeth Reisman, his brother Sam, his sister Rachel, his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Let us all live in the way Noah knew life was meant to be experienced—to the absolute fullest every day, always helping others, always being kind, always having unconditional love, always putting family and friends first, always being generous, always being a mensch.

WORD FIND

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 19 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The high hopes you’ve invested in a relationship add incentive to keep things going. But don’t let that version of the future hinder you from doing what’s necessary right now to make the relationship better. It’s a week to stop and assess relationships so you can put in the necessary attention to maintain and tune them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It was the prevalent belief that flowers fertilized themselves until Charles Darwin pointed out that the wide variety of flora on earth couldn’t be possible without cross-fertilization. And so it goes today that no strain of loveliness is self-perpetuating. Beauty will be born of blended influences. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Character is destiny. Fine character is fine destiny. It doesn’t matter what the job is, you do it to the best of your ability until it’s complete. In any job or relationship, it’s the principle that matters. A principled person applies principles across the board, not just where the application is convenient. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The one who brags about being a good person probably isn’t, and you can’t trust anyone who says, “Trust me.” Trying too hard is a cover. Still, you don’t have to be cynical. Have hope for all. Believe in people, but also believe in your own instincts about who will likely be good for you and help you thrive and be happy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You would love to feel secure in an ironclad alliance and yet these are not the days of feudalism. Allegiances are more complex and nuanced than ever. Perhaps people will be as loyal as their opportunities, but you can still work with this. People need what you have! The week brings a confluence of interests. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Being familiar with human nature, you anticipate that you’ll run across a wild card here and there -- the disorderly, the jokers, flakes, oblivious and generally troubled types. However, you’re unbothered because you see them coming and avoid their vicinity if you can help it. When you can’t, you deal like a boss. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Accept the gifts and limitations of others, and then turn some of that acceptance onto yourself. You’ve been especially hard on yourself lately. Perhaps you think it helps your productivity, but anything that hurts your self-esteem and mental health is counterproductive in the long-term. Support yourself instead. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As for relationships and professional arrangements, this week has all the tension of an unresolved chord. You anticipate harmony that never quite comes. Can you get comfortable anyway? Maybe you’ll even grow to appreciate this, as one might appreciate the unexpected tones of jazz. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Character is like an immune system. A healthy immune system will knock out potential germ invaders right and left, more or less constantly and without your knowledge. Fine character does the same with troubles and drama, keeping you focused on the sort of challenges that are worthy of your attention. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Wherever you find yourself, there will be difficult people to deal with there as well as easy, charming and agreeable people. You can be helped by either type. It is often the case that the difficult people have very desirable goods to offer. Because of the power they hold, they are difficult because they can be. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Compassion isn’t always easy. For starters, people who need compassion are, by definition, not in their most attractive and inspiring state. Love them anyway. If it’s too hard in the present, bring the future into it. Believe in the potential of others and affirm their power to rise up, learn and transform. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The best secrets are kept for fun, not because they are particularly charged but because they make for a good prize in a delightful game. Some shameful secrets become poisonous and rotten for lack of air. Relief and renewal are possible when you air them with a trusted person, journal or in a cleansing ritual.

Sue Bird Is The Epitome Of A Long Island Athlete BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

oughly 20 years ago, a young woman began dominating on the court for the UConn Huskies. She hailed from a Long Island hamlet known as Syosset. And she was great under the guidance of legendary head coach Geno Auriemma. Auriemma once called this bright face, standing at 5’9”, as the best point guard in the world. He’s probably right. Fast forward to 2020 and Sue Bird is a four-time WNBA champion, setting the standard for professional ballers across the globe, both in men’s and women’s competition. Bird just secured her fourth title with the Seattle Storm, a year after missing an entire season due to knee surgery. At 40 years old, Bird showed exactly what it means to be a Long Islander during the shortened WNBA season. Her perseverance and leadership ability on the court is second to none. She continues to define leadership on the court, rallying her teammates through the WNBA bubble in Florida amid a global pandemic.

“Bubble life is weird and you can’t get away from basketball,” Bird said in an ESPN interview on Oct. 7 after winning her fourth championship. “When we won, it was bizarre. There was no noise. It’s a strange experience.” At a time when advocacy for equal pay is at an all-time high, Bird’s voice is one needs to be heard. When

Now ever, n a h t e r mo d e e n u o y n w o t e m your hospaper! new

LeBron James also won his fourth basketball championship, the gender pay gap was clear, with James earning $30 million more than Bird. While the WNBA doesn’t gross nearly the same amount of money as the NBA, the conversation is continuing to stir as to what can be done. Bird is also a four-time Olympic

gold medalist with Team USA and that might turn into five if she joins the squad in Tokyo next year at a remarkable 41 years of age. “For me, personally, I’m a little bit of a throwback because I’m not out there to score all the time,” she said. “I’m all about getting my teammates involved and getting them in successful positions. My experience now puts me at a different level. I have this coach-player thing going.” It’s quite remarkable that Bird, even after a major surgery, is showing no signs of retiring or even losing her ability on the court. Bird hit for a career-high 52.9 percent from 2-point range this year and made 46.9 percent of her 3-point shots. Overall, she shot a career-best 49.4 percent from the field. Bird is the ultimate person for any young athlete to look up to and Long Islanders should aspire to be like her, both in and outside of arenas. What did you think of this article?
