Residents Balk At Potential 7-Eleven On Plandome Road

BY MARCO SCHADEN

mschaden@antonmediagroup.com

-Eleven has an application in front of the Town of North Hempstead Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) to build a store at 260 Plandome Rd. A scheduled hearing was set for Oct. 7, but was postponed due to feedback from residents and community groups that the meeting should be in the afternoon and not at the previously scheduled 2 p.m. An online petition was started to show support against the project, garnering 1,257 signatures as of publication. The petition, named “Protect Manhasset From 7-Eleven,” describes the increase of traffic on Plandome Road, the negative impact of quality of life and character on the downtown and an entrance and exit to Hillcrest Avenue for reasons the BZA should deny the application. “We, the residents of Manhasset and surrounding areas, request that the TONH BZA deny the application from 7-Eleven to allow a conditional use permit for retail food sales submitted for the property located at 260 Plandome Rd.,” the online petition states. “A 7-Eleven will further erode the safety of residents as well as be adverse to the character of our neighborhood downtown ‘main street,’ Plandome Road” Alcohol and tobacco products sold at a potential 7-Eleven are major sticking points for the community against the project. “It’s an additional outlet for alcohol and tobacco,” Manhasset Community Coalition Against Substance Abuse (CASA) Executive Director Jennifer DeSena said. “If it’s open 24 hours a day, it’s going to be a constant source of alcohol and tobacco that the overall community doesn’t need. We’re trying very hard to reduce the use of alcohol, tobacco and vaping.” One influential community group, the Council of Greater Manhasset Civics Associations (Greater Coumcil), has brought this issue up repeatedly in their monthly meetings. They are fervently against the project and were a major force in getting the decision to delay the public meeting. Richard Bentley, president of the Greater Council, would like to see the meeting postponed for two years so

Now defunct Pace Automotive has been used as parking lot for commuters. A 7-Eleven franchise is proposed to take its place. (Photo source: Google Maps) the public can come and voice their concerns to the BZA in-person instead of on Zoom. “They don’t care, they want to sell everything and everything that they can to make their business work,” Bentley said. “Manhasset already has a drinking problem. I think everybody knows that, everybody recognizes that. So why are we going to promote having it even more accessible?” The drinking problem Bentley references is underage kids on the street drinking alcohol they bought illegally. Convenience stores, like 7-Eleven, have been suspected of knowingly selling alcohol to minors. “The more stores you have in the community, the more competitive there will be with their pricing and possibly with not checking ID,” DeSena said. “They have a bad reputation for selling to underage kids.” The 7-Eleven would have an adjacent parking lot, which has come

under some ire. While Plandome Road does need more parking, residents are concerned by the potential increase in traffic with cars going in and out of the parking lot. “From a pedestrian point of view, I think it’s also horrible,” DeSena said. “That is a very crowded block. There’s always traffic because of people picking up from school, people picking up from the train and people walking to the park.” The curbside parking lot also presents a problem for pedestrians on the sidewalk. Earlier this year, a pedestrian was killed by a car close to this potential 7-Eleven location. “That road has only one-lane traffic, it’s going to stop traffic,” DeSena explained. “If you have a pedestrian on the sidewalk, you hope that the cars are going to stop instead of making the turn across the sidewalk. It’s an accident waiting to happen.” 260 Plandome Rd. is currently an

abandoned storefront that used to be Pace Automotive. Its parking lot is currently leased out and usually used by commuters for the LIRR. The run-down building is not the only one on Plandome Road, a main street that has been ignored for several years now. “Obviously the building doesn’t look good, but at least there’s no pressure on that traffic,” DeSena said. “I mean that block is a terrible block. We need help from the Town of North Hempstead, but we need help planning that block. It’s unfortunate that it’s not an unincorporated area of town because we don’t have enough attention on that.”

Northwell Declares Racism A Public Health Crisis

orthwell Health, a member of the national collaborative Healthcare Anchor Network (HAN), has joined health systems across the country in declaring racism a public health crisis. The 39 health systems that signed the HAN statement, Racism is a Public Health Crisis, employ more than half a million individuals across 45 states and Washington, DC, and have committed to taking concrete action to address the impact of structural racism. Moved by the deaths of George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and too many others, these health systems stand together with all those who have lifted their voices in protest and issue a call to action. For Northwell Health, taking action to overcome systemic racism and the health care disparities in the communities it serves is a core philosophy that includes investing, procuring and hiring locally. It also means tracking the progress of these efforts and actively engaging and listening

to patients and colleagues of color, modifying behaviors where needed and learning from these collective experiences. “As the largest health care provider in the world’s most diverse metropolitan area, Northwell has a responsibility to support the communities that entrust us with their care,” Michael J. Dowling, president and CEO of the health system, said. “We are steadfast in our focus on improving health outcomes for our vulnerable and underrepresented communities that have suffered because of the prevalence of chronic disease, a problem that led to the disproportionately higher death rate among African-Americans and Latinos during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are committed to using every tool at our disposal—as a provider of health care, employer, purchaser and investor—to combat disparities and ensure the equity of care that everyone deserves.” In May, Northwell was named the nation’s top health system for diversity

Staff at hospitals across Northwell Health rallied this summer in remembrance of George Floyd and to express a commitment to eliminating racism. by DiversityInc for its unflagging focus on inclusion, empowerment and health equity. Northwell’s Center for Equity of Care was launched a decade ago to guide and accelerate the health system’s efforts to eliminate health disparities and deliver culturally sensitive care. Among other initiatives, it has spearheaded the prioritization of minority suppliers and partners as part of Northwell’s vendor strategy. The Center has also established numerous Business Employee Resource Groups in

partnership with human resources to enhance recruitment and retention of culturally diverse employees and provide greater insight into the needs and priorities of Northwell’s communities. “Our society only truly thrives when everyone has an opportunity to succeed and live a healthy life. By harnessing the collective strengths of our organizations, we will help serve our communities as agents of change,” HAN’s statement proclaims. —Submitted by Northwell Health

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

DONATE TO THE MANHASSET COMMUNITY FUND In the several years since I stepped into the role of president of the Manhasset Community Fund, I’ve been awed by the ability of our community to help our local charities, even in the face of the global pandemic. Thanks to donors, the Manhasset Community Fund is able to support large numbers

of our neighbors facing food and housing insecurity as well as extreme emotional distress. In particular, we provided emergency funds for a large refrigerator to the Shelter Rock Pantry. But what’s proven equally impressive are the hundreds of dedicated supporters who help keep our charities going.

Year after year, hundreds of Manhasset residents have helped support our grants to combat bullying, cancer, child abuse, domestic violence, drug abuse and mental illness. Their trust has inspired our volunteer board to keep going. With the world changing at what

seems an impossible pace, we are committed to nonprofit programs that help those suffering in our community. Their challenges affect us all. Please consider donating online at www. manhassetcommunityfund.org —John Morse, president of the Manhasset Community Fund

Temple Judea Meets The Challenges Of ‘Tashlich’

ashlich is a Biblical rite which is a commandment to people to “cast off all their sins into the depths of the sea” (Micah 7:20). Through this ritual, we express not only our desire to be forgiven for past misdeeds, but also our continuing hope to be free from sin in the future. Temple Judea partnering with Temple Tikvah, created a well thought-out and creative service; social distancing guidelines were adhered to, which allowed those attending to observe the traditions of the holiday while remaining safe. Congregates of both temples gathered in their own cars and parked in Temple Judea’s spacious parking lot at prescribed locations. Masks were required and the participants remained in their cars until the final moments of actually casting their sins into the water. The traditional “running waters” were a line of 10 backyard pools, distant from each other, allowing the congregates to safely perform this ancient rite. Rabbi Todd Chizner of Temple

The Clergy of Temple Judea and Temple Tikvah Judea then blew the traditional shofar. Thanks to an elaborate audio reinforcement system, the congregates could hear not only the prayers and

was met with great success thanks to modern day techniques and human inventiveness. —Submitted by Temple Judea

GREAT NECK

Are The Suburbs Worth Preserving?

Great Neck Residents at odds over new proposed complex BY JADA BUTLER

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

he Zoning Board of Appeals (BZA) of the Village of Great Neck met on Thursday, Oct. 1 via Zoom to hear the request of case 2522 for variances on properties located at 733-741 Middle Neck Rd., 6 and 8 North Rd. and 7 Hicks Ln. This meeting was a continuation from an application reviewed on Sept. 3. The project is a four story, multifamily dwelling apartment complex complete with amenities and parking to be built across three property plots. Since the proposal was presented last month, the BZA has highlighted several issues, including building height, lack of substantial parking and building distance from property lines. Originally approved for 25 units and 28 parking spaces, the project plan has since expanded with the addition of two properties. This increased the number of units to 60 with 93 available parking spaces. Other changes made to the proposal addressing the BZA’s concerns include a recess of five feet to the fourth floor at the front of the building. This change was made so the building height doesn’t appear imposing or noticeable from Middle Neck Road. In the rear of the building, space was cut back five feet by eliminating a walkway in favor of a green planted space of trees, long enough to shield the building from residents to the east. The board and attendants were able to see visual renderings of all changes made to the property, shared by the applicant’s attorney, John Farrell. On behalf of the applicant, Yosef Shemtov, Farrell expressed the attraction this project would bring to the community. With its proximity to local businesses and included amenities such as a gym, library, community center and lounge area within the building for residents, this project is attractive and provides walkability. Many of the potential residents, older couples and young families, are expected to not use their cars often. The proximity would generate more foot traffic for local businesses, which would benefit the village. But not everyone is eager for this new addition. With the floor open for public comment, several residents of Great Neck shared both support and disapproval for the proposal. Amy Glass, a resident, was

733 Middle Neck Rd. in Great Neck. (Photo source: Google Images)

concerned with the size of the building, in both height and density. Glass cited the growth of the project proposal from 25 to 60 units in just a month. “It has significantly expanded to the east and that bothers me a lot that we should build a large building that goes so far off Middle Neck Road,” Glass said. If at all possible, she’d like to compromise and pull the building back more, possibly using the setback space for more amenities such as a patio or more parking. Many concerns over the “looming” nature of the tall building were expressed. A shadow study of the proposed building, shared by Farrell, showed that the building would not block sunlight from residents in the east and would not appear as dark and looming as expected. Yet the concerns remained. Judy Rosenthal, a longtime resident of Great Neck, was concerned with the changing nature of the project, and asked, “Are these the suburbs and are they worth preserving?” Many of the arguments for new projects like this, Rosenthal noted, point out the “old, decrepit state” of areas in the community to show how the proposed project could be better. “The BZA shouldn’t feel that they have to choose an option that overwhelms the streets,” she said. Rosenthal believes the rundown storefronts

still pose many opportunities for the community. As someone who resides in a single family home that has been appreciated for 23 years, Rosenthal doesn’t want to her village to be compared to Mineola, Patchogue and Huntington, and thinks that Great Neck residents would feel the same. “It’s not at all my vision to turn into [those places],” she said. Younger members of the community disagreed, and are eager for change. Ben Nazmiyal, a resident and father, finds the project appealing in terms of creating opportunities for the community to thrive, especially for the youth. Nazmiyal recalled his childhood and not having a community center or comfortable place in the village for the youth to go to, avoiding loitering. He believes the proposal is a “tremendous thing for the community” and for its youth. “I’m very excited for the project and hope it can be a great thing for our children going forward,” he said. Joe Altin, who lives two blocks from the project site, is also excited for an improvement to the area. “As a young head of household in the community, I can empathize with a lot of young people that want to stay in the community and they just can’t buy a house,” he said. Altin believes the project is beneficial to keep the young families in the

community so they don’t move out to other places in Long Island. Keeping people within the community to allow it to blossom is what this project makes an opportunity for, according to John Ghemezian, a developer with family members residing in Great Neck. Ghemezian gave praise to the project, saying, “We should be celebrating the interest of our own community heavily investing back into [it]. Any community that has success should be able to invest in its future.” Resident Dr. Touba Abdyan emphasized that the younger members of the community are in favor of developing the area. “If the young people are the future and are all for this, then why are we stepping on the toes of what it is the community is wanting and looking forward to?” she asked. “I hope we can move forward and welcome the change that is really needed in the community.” Chairperson of the board, Dennis Grossman, thanked everyone for their comments, saying the duty of the BZA is to hear the opinions of the people in the community. For documents, items and minutes pertaining to this application, residents can visit greatneckvillage.org. The next BZA meeting will be held on Nov. 5.

A Haunted History

New book delves into the supernatural that resides on Long Island

BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

all is officially here and with that means Halloween is just around the corner. Ghouls and goblins, which can be synonymous with Halloween, are not far from home—especially right here on Long Island. Although the book is geared towards kids, The Ghost of Tales of Long Island, which is written by author Rachel Kempster Barry, will change the way all Long Islanders visit Old Bethpage Village Restoration or the Glen Cove Mansion, which are reportedly haunted.

Q A

Can you tell readers a little bit about yourself? I grew up on Long Island and went to Longwood High School. I’m from the Class of 1993. I moved to Madison, NJ five years ago with my husband. I’m a writer and I run my own company, Tuesday Magic Marketing, where I work with authors, bookstores and nonprofits. Working on so many different projects keeps life interesting and busy. In my free time I love to volunteer, read and dote on our three cats.

What made you want to write this book?

The Ghost Tales of Long Island is an adaptation of a terrific book for adults: The Ghostly Tales Historic Haunts of Long Island: of Long Island is available now Ghosts and Legends from the Gold (Photo courtesy of Arcadia Publishing) Coast to Montauk Point by Kerriann Flanagan Brosky.

I loved the idea of writing about Long Island. I grew up in Middle Island in Suffolk County, but I don’t remember learning much about the history of it all. Of course, like every school kid I went to the Old Bethpage Village Restoration and a lighthouse or two, but I wanted to know more. For me, ghost stories are a fun and thrilling way to delve into history.

How long did it take you to write this book? Was the research readily available?

Q A

The Ghost of Tales of Long Island is available now on Amazon.com as well as your local bookstores.

Do you believe in ghosts or spirits? Or were you a skeptic beforehand?

he Safe Center LI, Inc. has announced the completion of its acquisition of Child Abuse Prevention Services (CAPS). CAPS’ education programs will be integrated into The Safe Center’s Education Department under a new name: CAPS at The Safe Center. This acquisition of CAPS programs enables The Safe Center to expand its education programs throughout Long Island and leverage CAPS’ 38 years of experience providing training on bullying and child abuse prevention, with programs including Steer Clear of Bullies and CyberSMARTZ. “We are excited about incorporating CAPS into our Education Department and expanding our ability to keep children safe,” Cynthia Scott, executive director of The Safe Center, said. “CAPS’ programs are a tremendous fit for our educational services and CAPS’ relationships with elementary schools across Long Island will enable us to reach a new population and broaden our prevention efforts. This is especially important now, when child abuse is significantly underreported

as a result of COVID-19’s impact on schools and summer programs.” She added, “Additionally, children who are suffering from online bullying may feel there is nowhere to turn. CAPS at The Safe Center’s programming will help to shed some light and

provide a source of support to those children and communities in need.” By introducing CAPS at The Safe Center, students and faculty will have increased access to additional educational workshops and programming developed with existing CAPS and

The Safe Center resources. Additionally, CAPS has more than 130 experienced program volunteers who will be invited to join CAPS at The Safe Center. Most of these highly trained volunteers have many years of experience delivering CAPS’ programs to Long Island elementary, middle and high school students. These volunteers will be incorporated into the already robust volunteer educator program at The Safe Center. “We are thrilled that CAPS’ mission to keep kids safe from harm will continue to thrive,” said CAPS Board President Joanne Campbell Schiefer. “There is great synergy between CAPS and The Safe Center, and our renowned education programs focused on bullying, abuse and neglect will fit perfectly within their array of programs and services.” The Safe Center is located at 15 Grumman Rd. in Bethpage.

Legislator Joshua Lafazan Debuts Podcast BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

assau County Legislator Joshua Lafazan (D–Woodbury) just became the first member of the legislature to have their own podcast. Java with Josh debuted in early September during the pandemic as a way to connect with his former interns, who loved hearing from guest speakers. Now, he is speaking with people outside of the region to share tips of how young entrepreneurs can be successful. “It’s for you to grab a cup of coffee, sit back for a half hour a week and learn something new from an interesting speaker,” Lafazan said. Lafazan has released five episodes of Java With Josh, and he feels it’s something different for him to do outside of politics. Each Thursday, a new episode is released. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic forced businesses to shut down, Lafazan held a Java with Josh in-person discussion each week at Mongo’s Coffee Roastery and Lounge, located at 170 Michael Dr. That gave him a chance to meet with people in his district, but this is much different.

“This is a podcast where I can give back and tell the stories of some outstanding professionals to help people learn something and figure out how to achieve their own dreams,” Lafazan said. “The theme of the show is having

big dreams is common. Figuring out how to achieve those dreams is rare.” Thus far, he’s interviewed Vyber Media CEO Jesse Kay, viral fitness trainer Emily Samuel, Lasso CEO Partha Unnava, TikTok sensation

Jackie Gansky and Next Gen HQ co-founder Dylan Gambardella. Each of the guests has a completely different story to become successful in vastly contrasting fields. “We have some upcoming episodes with Carol Silva, the Emmy Awardwinning News 12 anchor, and singer Jordan Michelle,” Lafazan said. “I spoke with Brennan Agranoff, who started a company as a teenager to make customized socks. His company has $2 million in sales.” But more than just a way to do something different in Lafazan’s spare time, he feels this podcast can inspire anyone to go the extra mile en route to achieving their dreams. Java with Josh is available for free on Apple Podcasts and can also be heard on Lafazan’s social media pages. While it is unclear when Lafazan will be able to return to holding constituent meetings at Mongo’s, this is a way to connect with people outside of Nassau County, all while giving tips to his interns.

Local Sisters Create Online Boutique During Pandemic

BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

here is no right way to start a small business, especially during a pandemic. But the Macri sisters believe they have figured it out. Gabrielle and Sabrina Macri, who grew up in Plainview, have been running a startup business, Sarella. As the pandemic began, the two launched an online boutique meant to help women save money on fashionable clothing. Like so many families, stay-at-home orders gave them some time to plan out how to successfully launch a business. “We were getting everything together and had a goal to launch in March, but everything kept getting pushed back because we couldn’t even receive deliveries with our inventory,” Gabrielle said. By June, though, they were up and running. And during the pandemic, they have utilized social media to grow their business with the help of influencers, who show off their affordable clothing. Everything from Sarella is $100 or

Gabriella Macri (left) and Sabrina Macri created Sarella as a way to help people purchase affordable clothing. (Photo courtesy of Gabriella Macri) less. They believe it can help people, especially with so many people out of a job but needing clothes to impress potential employers. “My sister and I have always loved fashion and clothes,” Gabrielle said. “We said, ‘What can we do together that can help other girls? How can we inspire other girls with fashion?’” Originally, they were going to open a store about a year ago. But the decision

to go online gave them more time and is less expensive to get started. Once Sarella gained relationships with wholesale businesses, the business kicked off from there. “Our products are curated specifically by us, and we handpick the items,” she said. “It’s a curated collection of both of our personalities and what we want to share with other women.” But where did the name Sarella

come from? Well, their Italian heritage had a little something to do with it. Sorella, which is Italian for sisters, almost became the name of the boutique. But they wanted a personal touch, so they combined their names and changed it up a bit. “We were obsessed with it from the minute we thought of it,” Macri said. As the business continues to grow, the sisters believe there is no limit. The idea of making affordable clothing available for a wider community could eventually lead them to expanding to a shop at some point. “We would love to have a store,” Gabrielle said. “That’s our end goal. We’d also like to start designing our own clothes in the future. One of our main goals is to design our own styles.” Visit @shopsarella on Instagram to learn more about this online boutique.

WESTBURY

Pandemic Update At Zoom Summit

BY FRANK RIZZO

17 25

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

he Westbury-Carle Place Chamber of Commerce held a back to school/work “zoom summit” recently to hear from school and community leaders about the challenges of the pandemic. Michelle Cacioppo of the Chamber hosted Westbury Mayor Peter Cavallaro, Carle Place Schools Superintendent Dr. Christine Finn, Westbury Schools Superintendent Eudes Budhai and Carle Place Civic Association (CPCA) Co-President Ursula Babino. Cavallaro said that between the Post Avenue downtown district and other thoroughfares, the village has about 170 storefronts. To help the restaurants, the village gave out about a dozen permits allowing outdoor dining. Though the village did receive complaints about violations, it managed to remedy the problems. “We never had a situation where we had to report anybody to the health department,” Cavallaro said. The mayor told Anton Media Group that a handful of establishments were

(Photo by Frank Rizzo) shuttered by the pandemic, but he knows of at least four new businesses that have opened or are in the process of opening. After delaying the start of school because several students had contracted COVID-19, Finn was happy to announce that both elementary schools would be opening Sept. 16 and the middle school/

high school would be back to in-person learning on Sept. 21. The superintendent said that teachers have become highly proficient at remote teaching, and thanks to the board of education, every student in the district got iPads and Chromebooks to facilitate distance learning. She praised the task force that planned the reopening of the schools, stating that it was hard-working and pulled together various constituencies, including students. Finn said that the remote plan in the first week or so of school worked very well, and will remain in place for students who wish to stay home for health reasons. Budhai described a period of pain and agitation for students and teachers after Governor Andrew Cuomo closed the schools in March. The district formed committees tasked with come up with a reopening plan. Questionnaires and surveys were sent out and, in Budhai’s words, “We listened to every voice.” Westbury opened its high school on Sept. 16 and the middle school on Sept.

21. Both joined the elementary schools for a mix of in-person and remote learning. Like Finn, he thanked his board of education for spending $2 million to make sure every student has a device to enable distance learning. Every laptop will have wifi built in. Babino urged residents to join the CPCA. The $20 fee covered the membership from September to June and helped cover the costs of the “Froghorn,” published four times a year. Babino ruefully noted that a lot of events planned by the CPCA were erased by the pandemic. She hoped that the trunk and treat and tree lighting ceremonies later this year would be held. The CPCA, she said, spotlighted businesses in the hamlet that were open and able to serve the community. Cavallaro stated that “our greater Westbury Carle Place community is fortunate to have two of the best school superintendents on Long Island who are completely dedicated to their community and their students.” To comment on this story, email frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

FARMINGDALE

Downtown Development Key To Farmingdale’s Economic Success

Recent study reflects investments in infrastructure yielded significant gains BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

n the past eight years, the Village of Farmingdale experienced a boon in the development of its commercial Main Street area that found the municipality being the recipient of several awards since 2012. In addition to winning accolades that included a number of Smart Growth Awards, Farmingdale was voted Best Downtown in 2015 through 2018 and wound up receiving it this year as well. According to a recent study commissioned by the Long Island Regional Planning Council (LIPRC), the renaissance the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale has gone through over the past decade was no accident. Moreover, the Farmingdale study revealed that the major economic impact the village has experienced can serve as a model for future downtown revitalizations across Long Island. Among the findings were that Farmingdale’s investment of every dollar generates $1.74 in economic output. Further, the short-term negative economic impact from COVID-19 could result in long-term economic growth in Farmingdale and other communities as more people seek suburban living with thriving downtowns nearby. The LIRPC is the leading regional planning body representing Nassau and Suffolk County and it commissioned a pair of studies, one focusing on Farmingdale’s downtown development and the other reflecting major shifts in land use in a post-pandemic economy. The results were revealed during the LIRPC’s council meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 15. For LIRPC Chairman John Cameron, this pair of recent studies were crucial as a means of setting priorities for Long Island’s economic development. “There is significant synergy between the two studies as the long-term impact of COVID form land use, such as a growing demand for suburban communities with thriving downtowns as people move away from dense urban housing, to the tremendous measurable economic impact that communities like Farmingdale can realize when they focus on revitalization,” he said. LIRPC retained 4ward Planning Inc. to conduct the two studies. LIRPC

4Ward Planning Inc. was commissioned to do a study on the economic impact of the redevelopment of Farmingdale’s downtown in the past eight years (Photo courtesy of Epoch 5) had previously entered into a prior consulting services agreement with 4ward Planning in 2018 for an economic impact analysis of the Village of Patchogue, which documented the major economic impact in that thriving village. Todd Poole, president of 4ward Planning, Inc., presented the latest findings. Not unlike what 4ward Planning did with the Patchogue study, Poole and his team spent several days in the Village of Farmingdale interviewing a number of representatives and local business owners. Poole found that major infrastructure investments, significant mixed-use zoning changes and the promotion of public events that can attract thousands of people over the course of a two or three-day-weekend were major drivers for Farmingdale’s economic success. “Study takeaways for this project?,” Poole rhetorically asked. “Public investment in community structure—in this case, commuter rail improvements by the MTA, can leverage a significant amount of private investment. It’s usually many times over what that original public investment is.” He also added, “We thought that zoning is critical and we see this everywhere. I will say that it’s more critical than ever. As John Cameron mentioned in his opening remarks— there are a lot of businesses that are fleeing New York City and are heading to suburban location and communities like a Farmingdale or a Patchogue. In order for them to do so, they want to know that the zoning is going to be responsive to their needs and be flexible to what they want to accomplish. In general, that can be achieved by understanding that this is not different from

neighboring communities that have this kind of mixed-use development. And seeing how that has been successful for them. It’s about asking if you have a similar type of zoning in place to facilitate that.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WESTBURY BOARD OF EDUCATION DID WRONG As usual, the Westbury Board of Education did their own thing. On Monday, Sept. 28, it conducted a continuation of a virtual meeting due to Google crashing on Thursday, Sept. 17. The timing of this meeting was consistent with their lack of integrity. How did they have a meeting on Yom Kippur, the most religious day for Jewish

people around the world? But apparently, it is not respected by the current Westbury BOE. I am sure they would not have held the meeting on Christmas or Easter. This action continues to show what a disgrace to our community this BOE is. Certain members must be voted out next election (2021). We need to have a

board that addresses and respects the wishes of our community. The actions of the current board regarding Superintendent Eudis Budhai and Fernando Agramonte (former middle school principal) are additional examples of their lack of reliability for our district. A substantial representation of district parents, students

and educators met, marched and car paraded to support Budhai and Agramonte. However, the BOE did its own thing. Westbury community, this is time for change. No apology from this BOE would be acceptable. Ignorance in this case is not bliss —Gloria Rosenau President, Westbury Council of PTAs

TROIANO APOLOGIZES To the Westbury community and staff: I would like to apologize for an unfortunate error in scheduling a virtual Board of Education meeting on Yom Kippur. I take full responsibility for this mistake. The error occurred because of the unexpected loss of the livestream connection at the end of our meeting on Thursday, Sept. 17. This prohibited us from completing

the business of the board, which the Open Meetings Law requires to be conducted in public. In my haste to reschedule the meeting so we could vote on the one remaining resolution, I chose the next available day that would allow us to provide sufficient public notice as required by state law. This turned out to be Monday, Sept. 28. I neglected to consider that

this was Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, the holiest of Jewish holidays. I would like to atone for my lack of sensitivity and for depriving members of our community and staff who observe this solemn holiday from the opportunity to participate in the conclusion of the meeting. Our Westbury community and school district comprise a beautiful diversity of religions, cultures and creeds. It is

what makes Westbury such a wonderful place. As an elected official in this community, I have a responsibility to represent all these groups fully and fairly. I will not make this type of mistake again. Thank you for your understanding, and please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. —Robert Troiano Jr. President, Westbury Schools Board of Education

STORM, CURRAN ARTICLES ARE LACKING Regarding “Outage Leads To Outrage” and “One-onOne With Laura Curran” in a recent edition: Both of your articles are typical of President Trump, in that they twist the facts and blame the problem on anyone but the leader. In his article entitled “Power to the People,” Larry Penner states clearly that the only permanent solution to the power and telephone outage problem is, obviously, to bury the wires. Yet our leaders spend millions on temporary pablum like “Hurricane Readiness,” “Increased Resiliency,” “Improved

Reliability,” the current health crisis, the current economic crisis, the school funding crisis, and “Investigations of LILCO and PSEG.” We need new leadership who will sell a cost-effective “bury the wires” solution to state and local governments and to taxpayers, because the costs must be borne by state income taxes—not local property taxes or huge increases in local power costs. It is my criticism of “Outages Lead To Outrage” that the reporter wrongfully leads with the outrage of several uninformed whiners against PSEG-LI when Mother

The Beauty Of Fall In Your Home Here’s a design checklist to make you ready for the season

BY EMILY SAUCHELLI

esauchelli@antonnews.com

or those who are new to embracing the fall season, there’s always room to learn how to spread some fall cheer. Whether you’re a novice or beginner, here’s all you need to know in preparation for the upcoming season.

Fall Colors

Orange is a fall color that you will see during the season. It’s featured in a variety of popular items that we use during the year such as pumpkins and gourds. Other colors that are popular during the fall season are mixes of yellows, browns and greens. These colors can accent orange in many ways. Popular items that showcase these colors are ears of corn, green leaves and even tree bark.

Fall Decorating Ideas

When decorating your house during the fall season, it’s always important to include fall foliage. Whether that’s on your dining room table or showcased in your front yard.

Baked goods are a way to embrace the flavors of fall. (Photo courtesy of Unsplash)

Another way to think about this is decorating your house with items that are around you, such as leaves from your yard, flowers from your garden and even branches. Fall decorating looks its best when there are visuals on display. When it comes to decorating in general, visuals are everything. Visuals can really add a sense that the season is all around you. Visuals aren’t just photographs. Visuals can be items that create a picture or illustrate a

feeling such as paintings, handmade crafts and glassware. When decorating, it’s best to incorporate pockets of fall accents throughout the entire house or focus in one specific area.

Fall Scents

It’s the time of year for scents such as pumpkin, cinnamon and clove. Those are the epitome of fall. The scents can be representative in items such as candles, baked goods and even hand or bath washes. When

mixed together, each brings a sense of warmth and comfort. Having scents be representative in your fall design make for a big splash. Scents are a simple way to enhance your space and bring freshness to the home. Incorporating fall design can be done, whether you’re designing a small or large space. Designing any space is a unique effort as everyone has different tastes of what they do or don’t like. Most importantly, enjoy the season and enjoy decorating.

recalled. “Right out of college, I started subbing at Berner. From there, a social studies teacher went out on maternity leave and I got her leave replacement. The rest is in the books from there. I was a social studies teacher at Berner for about 15 years from 1998 on, teaching seventh and eighth grade social studies. I transitioned from social studies teacher to part-time attendance officer, eventually becoming a full-time Dean. That’s where I transitioned into administration, before moving on to being assistant principal. Then I moved from Berner to the high school. I held a lot of different positions along the way.” As a steward for Massapequa High School, Lowell is excited to continue maintaining the high standard the district has set. “Massapequa High School has such a great reputation as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence,” she said. “My goal is to make sure [the school] continues to grow and be a place everyone can flourish in.” What did you think of this article?

hen Barbara Lowell was assigned to be the principal of Massapequa High School back in January, the Massapequa native was returning to the helm of building she graduated from back in 1992. In any other year, it would have been an enjoyable, yet nominally challenging experience. Then the pandemic hit in March. Classes shut down and switched to a virtual format and from here and much like the rest of the world, school officials had to figure out their new normal. That said, Lowell’s prior 22 years working in the district helped her transition into her new position. “I was lucky enough to be appointed by the board before school ended up closing and went virtual,” she explained. “So I did have some time in January and February to get over to the high school and walk around with Brian Conboy, who was the interim principal, and see how things ran. Of course, throughout the spring as we were working virtually, I was working with him and getting involved. Even towards the end of June, as he transitioned out for July 1 and I transitioned in, we were still able to work together and he was still able to help me out. That’s because a lot of the events for the Class of 2020 that would have had to happen in June ended up happening in July. So a lot of the beginning of the summer was really spent planning for the culmination of the 2020 school year, which happened a little bit later because of the graduation happening later.” One of six siblings, Lowell was born and raised in Massapequa. Education was essentially the family business given the fact that her mother taught in Herricks and three of her sisters are also educators. Coming up through Unqua, McKenna, Berner and then finally Massapequa, Lowell played on the tennis and basketball teams. Social studies, French and English were among her favorite classes. Going to Molloy College, the future administrator knew she wanted to go into education and it would not be until her junior year when she decided social studies would be her content area. From here, Massapequa is all she knew going forward. “I did my student teaching in Massapequa—part of it in 12th grade social studies classes at the high school and part of it at Berner in a seventh-grade social studies class,” she

Greenberg has been on the forefront of cosmetic plastic surgery for over 27 years providing high-tech solutions at his well-appointed and accredited surgical centers on Park Avenue in Manhattan as well as in Woodbury, Smithtown and Southampton on Long Island. Expect beautiful facilities that include cutting edge medspas, injection lounges and modern, spacious consultation rooms. Diet and exercise are the best ways to help stay healthy and keep in shape, but supplementing a healthy lifestyle with cosmetic surgery procedures will leave you in the best shape that you can be in…healthy and beautiful, both inside and out! Let Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg, M.D., be your guide. This nationally renown plastic surgeon has appeared in many magazines, on television, as well as hosts his own radio shows. Using only the latest technology and most current procedures, Dr. Greenberg meets the needs of every patient, from today’s top stars to the ‘soccer mom’ next door. Breast augmentation, breast lifts and breast reductions provide beautiful, natural looking results. Combining these procedures with liposuction, tummy tuck, body lift, facelift, eyelid lift or other non-surgical services is most effective. Regardless of which procedures you select, the focus of Dr. Greenberg is to make his patients as happy and as beautiful as they can be by turning back the hands of time in a caring, safe and supportive environment. The latest techniques have been perfected to offer Breast Augmentation patients a truly “rapid recovery.” Minimal swelling and bruising, coupled with a notably decreased recovery time, have

resulted in proven patient satisfaction. Recognizing the need for patients to quickly return to their normal activities, “rapid recovery” ensures both excellent results and faster recovery time. The hottest surgical techniques to make you look younger include eyelid lifts, facelifts, deep laser resurfacing, and rhinoplasty. A facelift, mini lift, lower lift, or full lift, with or without Plasma, will take years off of your appearance. A facelift removes excess skin, rejuvenates the neck and lifts the jowls while restoring a more youthful look for both men and women. Injections work quickly to eliminate facial lines and wrinkles (including Botox® Cosmetic, Juvederm and Restylane®) and when coupled with non-surgical skin tightening and skin rejuvenation treatments, ensure phenomenal results! As the seasons are changing, now is the perfect time to seek help with those last few inches that you can’t seem to lose. Body contouring can be the answer to reshaping those undesirable areas of your body. The SmartLipo™ MPX, is ideal for the neck, jawline, arms, breasts, “bra fat,” abdomen, “love handles,”“saddle bags,” inner and outer thighs, and knees. The recovery with SmartLipo® is very fast. Another avenue to consider is having a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty). Especially effective postpregnancy in a Mommy Makeover or after significant weight loss, this procedure improves abdominal contouring, and can have you in great shape in a very short period of time. Abdominoplasty is very effective in reducing or eliminating stretch marks, skin excess, and for correcting weakening of the abdominal muscles. Most women who have had children and those women and men that how had weight fluctuations will have some laxity of the abdominal wall and will experience excellent results.

Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg offers complimentary consultations at his Park Avenue and Long Island locations. To schedule call 516-364-4200 or visit his website www.GreenbergCosmeticSurgery.com. 218151 S

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 24 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You could use help, and you’re in a good position to ask for it. The only thing holding you back is the idea that you should already know this. Drop it. Consider that maybe everyone who acts like they know what’s going on doesn’t. It’s a week to get honest people on your team. It’s easy because you are also honest. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Time has its role. The space between interactions is part of interactions. When people are early or late, it means something. Hesitations matter. They can indicate lies or point to deep truths. Rushes and overlaps and grooves are all functions of timing. Your respect for time has you paying attention this week.

WORD FIND

Newspapers Solution: 24 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). While it feels good in the moment to divulge yourself, it can be the least interesting option available to you. The urge to share your views will be strong. Give a little, but hold back. Because if you resist, then another urge will take hold -- the urge to learn how it is in their world. That’s the one that comes with a takeaway. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Relationship lines blur. Professional and personal, platonic and romantic... jogging things into the groove where they fit is a bit challenging. Maybe you can avoid murky relationships and messy situations by being true to your feelings. Then again, maybe it’s going to be a glorious mess and that’s all for the best.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The more you understand yourself, the more you appreciate how unique you are. But how do you get to know yourself better? The same way you’d get to another -- interview yourself, take yourself on dates, put yourself in novel situations to see what happens. Self-knowledge will tip off a fortuitous chain of events. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are some questions you just shouldn’t have to ask. For instance, “Do you like me?” If you have to ask, then “not enough” is your answer. So, which side of the equation is off? Are you not being receptive, or is love not being shown? Make it a priority to prize, seek and nurture mutually loving relationships. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s not unusual for your day to change as you make moves to accommodate those close. You care about them, and you’ll meet their needs in whatever way you can. Even when it’s not convenient for you, you’ll still be the one to adjust and support. Just make sure you’re not codependently giving too much. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Do you feel a little vulnerable around people? Good. Unshakeable confidence is a fine look, but it leaves no place for people to hook in. No one knows what to do with someone who has all the answers. But the one who needs help, wants participation and admits there’s room to grow will be the catalyst of team spirit. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The value of most relationships intrinsic. The trouble starts when we treat a relationship as the means to an end instead of as an end itself. Expectations can become the enemy of love. If you love what’s there, and keep looking for loveable qualities, then you’ll find an endless abundance of them. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You feel the best when acting in accordance with your finest nature. It gets tricky sometimes because it’s like there’s an entire committee inside your head running your personality like a democracy. The higher angels do sometimes get outvoted. The important thing is to hear everyone out -- and don’t give up.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ll accept all there is for you to accept in a situation and then find that you are willing and ready to change. So, change you will! Thus, the year will be divided into a “before” and “after” scenario. You’ll do lucrative business with friends. There will be some dicey investments on offer. Be very cautious and do the homework. The best time to get into deals will be this month, mid-January or early May. Your love will be returned and your family will embrace whomever you do. COPYRIGHT 2020 CREATORS.COM

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The dark side of peace is not conflict. Conflict only serves to enhance a state of peace, as it provides a contrast and an ideal for which to strive. The dark side of peace is stagnation, which hosts any number of terrors. Don’t let the action stagnate. Keep marching on, through the harmony, through the fight. Just don’t stop.

This more than likely means current General Manager Brodie Van Wagenen is on his way out. The only major names he’s brought on have been Robinson Canó and Yoenis Céspedes since taking on the job two years ago. Cohen will reportedly not be afraid to spend money on the team’s roster, either. He originally joined the club in 2012 with an 8 percent stake in the aftermath of the Mets’ mess in the Bernie Madoff scandal. He is currently the president and CEO of Point72 Asset Management.
