COVID-19 Hits School District
Reimagining Policing, Post-Floyd BY FRANK RIZZO
eorge Floyd’s death in Minneapolis in May was the proverbial pebble in the pond, with far reaching consequences. Actually, it was more akin to a boulder, given the widespread protests and civil unrest that broke out after police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on Floyd’s neck for 8:46 and killed the African American man. Among those to act was New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, who in June promulgated Execute Order 203 and made pointed note of the post-Floyd atmosphere. It mandated that all municipalities with police departments submit plans by April 1, 2021, after performing “a comprehensive review of current police force deployments, strategies, policies, procedures, and practices, and develop a plan to improve such deployments, strategies, policies, procedures, and practices, for the purposes of addressing the particular needs of the communities...” For the full story, see page 11

Three Positive For COVID-19 In School District BY MARCO SCHADEN
mschaden@antonmediagroup.com
T
he Manhasset School District has had three individuals test positive for COVID-19 since Oct. 13. These are the first positive tests the school district has had since the school year started. The Manhasset School District is working with the Nassau County Department of Health, who is conducting contact tracing within the school district. “After learning about this case, our district immediately contacted the Nassau County Department of Health (DOH) who began contact tracing protocols in order to identify anyone who may have been in close contact with this individual,” Manhasset Superintendent Dr. Vincent Butera said in an email to Manhasset School District families after a postive case was announced. “As a point of clarification, once a case is confirmed, the DOH is contacted and directs the district accordingly. We will continue to cooperate fully and in a timely manner. At this time, the DOH has not recommended any large scale quarantine or closure. Any individual who is deemed to be a close contact will be notified directly by the DOH with further guidance.” Manhasset families were notified on Oct. 13 when a high school student tested positive, Oct. 19 for a Shelter Rock administrator that tested positive and, most recently, Oct. 27 when a Munsey Park Elementary student tested positive. The school district has not changed any of its guidelines or safety protocols since the positive tests came to light. There is no mandatory testing within the school district, although they have been looking at getting testing throughout the school for staff personnel. Butera told the Manhasset Press that the individuals were not feeling well and had symptoms before deciding to get tests. He also said the health checks in place by the school district did work in finding at least one of these cases. “Please be reminded that our protocols were designed to mitigate the risk of positive cases and our priority remains the health and safety of our students and staff,” Butera said. “More specifically, the district requires that all students, faculty and staff maintain a social distance of 6 feet or more,

High School Student Raises 1,000 Books For South Bronx Students
NEWS
L
uke Melkonian, 17, is sharing his love of reading in a very tangible way by raising and donating 2,000 books. “I felt part of the adventure,” Melkonian said. “I wanted to help other kids to have the same experience.” While tutoring younger students as a volunteer at an after-school program in Manhasset, he noticed the program’s library was very small. In December 2019, he established Books Are Gifts with the website BooksAreGifts.org. In January, Melkonian created a blog and social media campaign appealing for donations of old books from everyone he knew. On Oct. 7, Melkonian donated 1,000 books to the after-school program where he volunteered. On Friday, Oct. 23, he donated another 1,000 books to The American Dream School in the South Bronx. “Luke believes a book is a gift, and we could not agree more,” Melissa Melkonian, founder and executive director of The American Dream School, and Luke’s aunt, said. “Luke’s initiative to provide people the opportunity to pass their books on to others, and the success of his effort, is a testament to the power of young people to help others. This is a core principle we celebrate
at The American Dream School.” Melkonian, a senior at Manhasset High School, hopes to continue the work of Books Are Gifts while attending college.
“We’re trying to get as many books as we can and impact as many lives as we can, of those who aren’t as fortunate to have the books others have,” he said.

Sidewalk Repair On Plandome Town Reduces Online E-Check Fees To Assist Residents Road LIRR Overpass The Town of North Hempstead is working with the Long Island Rail Road to repair the sidewalk on the west side of the Plandome Road LIRR overpass. In order to complete this work and ensure the safety of the residents and construction team, one southbound lane of Plandome Road in the vicinity of the project will be closed. This will temporarily eliminate the designated left turn lane from Plandome Road onto Park Avenue. Nassau County is working to ensure that the signalized intersection will function appropriately. In addition, all pedestrians will need to use the sidewalk on the east side of the overpass during the construction period.
The project will require a track outage which the Long Island Rail Road has scheduled for the weekend of Nov. 7 and 8. Check the LIRR’s website: www. mta.info or LIRR Train Time App for more information. The town and the LIRR will work expeditiously to complete the project, which we anticipate will take several weeks. We understand that the lane closure and track outage will be an inconvenience and ask for everyone’s patience and understanding during the repairs. If you have any questions or concerns call the town’s 311 call center at 311 or 516-869-6311. —Submitted by the Town of North Hempstead
North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the town board have announced that the town will continue their efforts to accommodate North Hempstead residents during the current public health crisis by reducing processing fees for online Automated Clearing House (ACH) e-check tax payments and for fees for the town clerk’s Office, Animal Shelter, Buildings, Planning and Highway Departments. “With the rise in COVID-19 cases in New York and across the country, the town recognizes the importance of social distancing policies,” Bosworth said. “We hope that these reduced fees will encourage people to utilize online payments. Not only does this provide our residents with added convenience, but it allows them to make payments from the safety of their own homes.”
For tax payments, individuals will pay a nominal one-cent fee for the e-check. The tax office fee waiver applies specifically to ACH e-check payments that pull funds directly from a person’s checking account. Additionally, the cost for e-check service fees for the town clerk’s office, animal shelter, buildings, planning and highway departments will be temporarily reduced to 75 cents. All fee reductions will be in effect until the end of the year. The town is encouraging residents to take advantage of the remote payment services when possible and eliminate unnecessary trips to town facilities. For more information, call 311 or 516-869-6311. —Submitted by the Town of North Hempstead

Adventures In Learning Awarded A $100,000 COVID-19 Relief Grant
dventures in Learning recently announce that a Charitable Trust, focusing on the support of underserved children, has awarded Adventures a $100,000 COVID-19 Relief Grant. Upon learning that 100 Adventures in Learning and Head Start families were suddenly facing emergency and desperate situations due to the pandemic, the trust acted swiftly to help them via this grant. The COVID-19 Relief Grant addresses the burdens suddenly affecting these families. It has been agonizing. They have faced food insecurity, financial shortages and lacked much needed COVID-19 supplies. Some parents contracted COVID-19, and several children tended their stricken parents. Therefore, some trust funds were used to purchase books and games for these kids. In addition to worrying about contracting COVID-19, several family earners were laid off from their jobs, while others became unemployed. Furthermore, many suddenly found it
difficult to pay rent. The pressures kept mounting. In addition, the Manhasset Community Fund and the Greentree Foundation jointly contributed $30,000 for food and rent. Other food donations came from Manhasset’s PAL, plus two local restaurants, Schout Bay Tavern and Publicans. One hundred fifteen generous local Manhasset residents donated a total of $52,000 to help families with food, rent, house expenses, burials, books, school supplies and printers for the children’s school laptops. It should also be noted that newly appointed Adventures in Learning Board Member Priyank Puri and many volunteers she recruited provided food and fed meals to senior citizens and stricken COVID victims. She utilized the website “Sign Up Genius” to sign up eager Manhasset volunteers. Of course, seniors and COVID patients were delighted to receive the meals and food supplies. “We are so very grateful to the
Charitable Trust, the Manhasset Community Fund and the Greentree Foundation for awarding Adventures the emergency COVID-19 relief grants in the midst of this horrific global pandemic,” Adventures’ Executive Director Diana Holden said. “In addition, we were overwhelmed by the enormous response of the Manhasset community. It certainly demonstrates the generous, kind spirit of this community in a time of crisis. To one and all, we thank you.” Founded 52 years ago by the Congregational Church in Manhasset, Adventures in Learning is a nonprofit organization, located at 65 High St., Manhasset, in the Hagedorn Community Center at the Manhasset/ Great Neck EOC Building. Since that time, Adventures has been dedicated to improving the lives of children in Manhasset and Great Neck who are in need of after school care and instruction. —Submitted by Adventures in Learning

B. Mildred Enquist B. Mildred Enquist, 98, died peacefully in Westerly, RI, on Oct. 23. She was surrounded by loved ones during her final days. She was known for her gentle manner, love of family, skills at bridge and board games and making any visitor feel welcome in her home. Born in Winona, MN, and raised in Pepin, WI, she was the daughter of the late Fred and Bertha Miller, and sister to Foil Miller, Ruth Lindh, Carol Jackson, Betty Pemberton and Helen Bostwick. After graduating as valedictorian of Pepin High School, she attended the University of Minnesota, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Technology. After graduation, she worked as a medical technician, including running a blood bank in Minneapolis. It was during her college years that she met her future husband, Irving Enquist, while he was a medical student at the University of Minnesota. They were married in 1945 and moved frequently to allow her husband to fulfill his military obligation as a medical officer in the Army Air Corps. They relocated to New York where Dr. Enquist began a position on the faculty of the new surgery training program at the Brooklyn campus of SUNY. They bought their first home in Manhasset where she lived for 65 years. During her years in Manhasset, Millie became an active member of the community. She volunteered at Abilities, was a scout leader for all three of her children, taught Sunday School, was

a member of the Plandome Women’s Club and the PEO Organization. She played tennis until the age of 90 and was known for her sharp bridge skills. Her Monday afternoon bridge games were a regular part of her life for close to 60 years. She thoroughly enjoyed working on the NY Times crossword puzzle daily. Through the years, the famous NYT editor Will Shortz came to know Enquist well, addressing his responses to her with, “Dear Millie, once again…” She loved to travel with her husband and visited many parts of the world. They had a tradition of spending two weeks on Little Lake Sunapee in New Hampshire and developed long-lasting friendships with many of the families there. She is survived by three children; Kristine Fach (Cole Fach), Dr. Erik Enquist (Tracey Autio), Rolf Enquist (Tricia Enquist); five grandchildren; Bradley Fach (Amy Fach), Alexis Gillis (John Gillis), Erika Enquist-Xu (Harrison Xu), Victoria Enquist, Hannah Enquist; six great grandchildren; Colton Gillis, Logan Gillis, Alexander Fach, Bailey Fach, Cameron Fach and Jaxson Enquist.

Manhasset Public Library Interior Renovation Gets Underway
he Manhasset Public Library’s interior renovation project is expected to start construction the week of Oct. 26, adding new meeting, study and improved work space options and capacity. The renovation also includes new carpet, painting, furniture, repositioning shelving and includes technology upgrades. As the repository for local history and archival materials, a new designated Archives Office for its Local History Center will also be created. Architect and Interior Designer for the project is Elisabeth Martin, FAIA, principal of MDA Designgroup and the construction firm is W.J. Northridge Corp. “The one-size-fits-all nature of the traditional public library of the past has given way to the library as the go-tocenter of activity in the community, a place where barriers are dissolved and interaction is fostered,” Martin said. “Design goals focus on the user experience, welcoming users with the inviting spaces that offer choice among varied environments that serve individual tasks, multi-tasking and collaboration.” “Based upon patron comments and independent observations, the

Manhasset Public Library (MPL) Board of Trustees and the director initiated the project about two years ago to provide needed enhancements to library building,” Chuck Jettmar, president of the MPL board of trustees, said. “With the project budgeted at approximately $1.25 million, the board intends that these benefits will be delivered to the Manhasset community in the most fiscally responsible manner, without impacting the annual operating budget.” The first phase of the renovation, estimated to take four months, will focus on the Teen Zone and the second floor of the library. To better serve the needs of young adults using that space, the renovation plans include revitalizing it with a tech counter, booth
style seating and with other multi-functional furniture that can be adapted for working collaboratively or alone. For the second floor, the renovation will create new seating areas, including booths, lounge seating and window seats that take advantage of the Living Edge or spaces near sources of natural light. In addition, the second floor will feature a new Open Study Zone, a dedicated History Center, a new Entrepreneur Center, four new glass-enclosed study rooms and a glazed Active Reference Services office. Furniture for the renovated space will provide access to outlets to make it easy to charge devices, in multiple locations. After the first phase of construction is completed, the next phase of the

renovation will focus on the first floor. Estimated to take about three months, the first-floor renovation will include restructuring and repositioning seating and shelving, creating alcoves for study space and pod seating, which is quieter and provides for safely distanced work. “With COVID, we have given a lot of thought on whether to proceed with the renovation and decided that it made sense to take advantage of this time with lower in-person usage of the library so the construction project will cause minimal inconvenience to our patrons,” Maggie Gough, Manhasset Public Library director, said. “When the construction is completed, it will greatly enhance the future functionality of the library, with renovated light-infused space.” During this planned renovation, patrons will have limited access to the library. The Manhasset Public Library will continue to provide its full range of services, including curbside book delivery, virtual librarians via phone and email, mail a book program, online programs and more. —Submitted by the Manhasset Public Library
Junior Tower Club’s Manhasset Faculty Members Receive Tenure Halloween Spectac-Boo-Lar Twelve Manhasset Public Schools faculty members were recognized for receiving tenure during the district’s virtual board of education meeting on Oct. 22. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Vincent Butera and Board of Education President Pat Aitken thanked the tenured faculty for their hard work in the district, especially over the past few months. A presentation of photos of the faculty members being honored was played during the meeting as part of the celebration.

On Saturday, Oct. 24, the Junior Tower Club of the Tower Foundation of Manhasset put their own innovative twist on trick-or-treating by holding the Halloween Candy Crusade, a contact-free, drive-through experience that allowed local families to trick-ortreat without your feet. Participants cruised through the LIRR parking lot via a specially mapped-out route lined with decorated car trunks and elaborate Halloween vignettes, while costumed members of Junior Tower and the Tower Foundation board handed out candy to visitors, who could stay safely distanced in their cars. Volunteers were thrilled by the enthusiastic response, with hundreds of community members showing up to take part in the festivities (several additional candy runs even had to be made to local stores to keep up with the demand). Also overwhelming was the generosity of participants, who kindly donated thousands of dollars to the Tower Foundation during and
after this hugely successful event. Special thanks go to Manhasset Park District Commissioner (and Tower Board member) Kenneth Weigand and the Manhasset Parks Department, as well as the tireless Junior Tower and Tower Board volunteers. As a result of this collaborative effort, the Tower Foundation can continue to fund initiatives benefiting all of Manhasset’s students.

Bahare Salehnia Spreads Love As Photography Influencer From Iran BY JOSEPH WOLKIN
jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com
B
ahare Salehnia is adjusting to a brand-new culture. The 27-year-old hails from Iran, leaving her home nation for Great Neck eight months ago. Now living in Glen Cove, Salehnia is an Instagram influencer. With 2.1 million followers on her account, @ baharesalehnia, she teaches photography tips to people in her native tongue, Farsi. Salehnia travels across Long Island and New York City to provide new, fresh advice for people. It’s a much different path than her life in Iran, where she holds a civil engineering degree. But she found her calling. Salehnia is working on a special project to help people from Iran go viral, tagging them and sharing their stories on her Instagram page. The project, entitled, “A Stranger’s Project,” will help shed light on what the Iranian people are truly about. Fortunately, Instagram has a translation option, making her posts available in English with the click of a button. The Instagram star’s life on Long Island hasn’t been easy, though. She hasn’t seen her husband, Sorush Darzi, in eight months due to the pandemic’s travel restrictions. She hopes he’ll be able to arrive in America soon. Until then, Salehnia is determined to spread her passion for photography and helping others across the globe. Long Island is the perfect place to do exactly that, and she stops by to tell us about her true passion.
Q A
What has your journey been like up to this point? After I got my bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, I began to take photography classes in Iran and some here with Peter Coulson. I started to put my portfolio on my page. After a while, I noticed I like to teach photography to other people. I took some online classes to teach photography. People started asking if they can take photos with their phones if they don’t have a camera. I wanted to speak a lot and do something good. I wanted to teach them

What is the project you’re working on to help people in Iran? I thought that it would be great to start taking photos of couples and ask if they were me, would they go back to their country or stay here. After I started taking photos of couples, my family started loving this project. This is helping people get famous in my country. It feels good that I can bring a smile to other people’s faces.

Upon its completion and relaunch in 1999, The Christeen was gifted to the Waterfront Center where it now serves as a floating classroom educating passengers about maritime history, marine science,

yster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and members of the Town Board, along with representatives of the Waterfront Center, Christeen Oyster Sloop Preservation Corporation and Friends of the Bay, dedicated a new historical marker in Oyster Bay Harbor for The Christeen, a fully-restored 38-foot gaff-rigged oyster sloop, the oldest in America and a National Historic Landmark. The new historical marker was donated by the William G. Pomeroy Foundation under its Historic Signage Grant Program, which has provided more than 600 historic markers throughout New York State since 2006. “Since the founding of the Town of Oyster Bay in 1653, Oyster Bay hamlet and the surrounding harbor have played an important role in history, and an important role in the development of trade and commerce in New York State,” Saladino said. “Originally built in Glenwood Landing in 1883, The Christeen is an amazing
coastal ecology, the oyster industry and aquaculture. “The Christeen is a beautiful ship. The organization that restored her to original condition did an outstanding job. The crew educates the passengers as to her history, where she was found, and all the restorations lovingly performed. The area where the ship is moored and sails adds to the exceptional sailing experience,” said Lawrence Portuese, a science teacher from Bethpage High School who has taken students on trips to the ship. “Passengers are also educated about the local marine life, which the crew brings along for the students to touch, an experience almost all of them have never had before.” George Ellis, executive director of the WaterFront Center, thanked the Pomeroy Foundation and said, “It’s a great enhancement to the park and gives everyone something to rally around.” —Additional information provided by the Town of Oyster Bay Mallory Wilson is a contributing writer for Anton Media Group

he Glen Cove City Council passed a budget of $63 million for 2021 on Oct. 27. The budget passed alongside a 7.32 percent tax hike and included the loss of eight city jobs. Many Glen Cove residents and few members of the city council contested Mayor Timothy Tenke during the Zoom city council meeting, arguing that now, amid mass job and wage losses due to the pandemic, is not the time to impose higher taxes. Mayor Tenke shared during the meeting that the “questionable” practice of using one-shot revenues that got the city by in the past would not be continued. That, paired with the expected loss of $769,378 in state and county aid due to the pandemic, were also cause for such a high tax levy for 2021. “We must move the city forward and work towards building a much more secure and financially responsible future for our residents,” Tenke said. “We must act accordingly and be champions of fiscal responsibility and prudence.” During the public hearing, many residents voiced their concerns with the tax levy increase and offered alternative solutions, like selling parking spaces and beach passes to nonresidents. One Glen Cove resident, whose name was indistinguishable on the Zoom call, urged the council to vote no on the budget. “Please go back to the drawing board and start over,” she said. “At a time when people are not working and are underemployed, it’s really a tragedy.” Councilwoman Marsha Silverman was a strong opponent of piercing the tax cap.

Silverman proposed a delay in the vote to hear more from the public, which was overruled. “The council has had other suggestions,” Silverman said. “We have still been trying to challenge this budget and with a little extra time, we could find some more improvements.” The budget passed via a 4-2 vote from the council, with Mayor Tenke abstaining from the vote as required under the city charter. A total of $301,900 in additional budget cuts, plus a $57,500 increase in miscellaneous revenue, aided in reducing the originally proposed 7.9 percent tax

Lives have been lost, all due to the pandemic. Now is not the time to do business as usual. At the start of the pandemic, Silverman said she repeatedly asked for a plan to protect taxpayers and deal with loss of revenues. “When we face a pandemic and you are in a leadership role, you have to plan.

Especially now, we cannot go to that 7.32 [percent] and I feel we should be closer to that cap—that is too wide a margin.” Mayor Tenke said not voting for piercing the tax cap would have had worse consequences for Glen Cove. “We’ve gotten to the point now, where we have to make the decision and not further put the city in financial distress going forward,” he said.

GARDEN CITY
Board Of Trustees Passes Motion To Retain Legal Counsel Against MTA/LIRR BY CODY SULLIVAN
T
editorial@antonmediagroup.com
he Garden City Board of Trustees approved a motion to hire legal counsel to explore potential litigation against the MTA and LIRR regarding the third track project. The 5-2 decision [trustee Brian Daughney was absent) came at an Oct. 22 special board meeting at St. Paul’s Cluett Hall following a private meeting with Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin and other lawyers. “We found the meeting to be informative. We learned a great deal,” Mayor Theresa Trouvé said. “I do think most of us have the feeling that we want to litigate this subject.” This is the final step before litigation would formally begin. The decision allows the board to retain legal counsel to assess its case against the MTA, give the board an estimated cost of litigation and determine how likely it is to be successful. The board previously voted down a similar measure, opting to wait until it could get more informal legal advice. “I realize the last time I did not vote in support of hiring an attorney,” Trustee Robert Bolebruch said. “After our meeting with Mr. Clavin, and totally understanding the landscape
The board of trustees held a special board meeting at St. Paul’s Cluett Hall following a private meeting with Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin and other lawyers. (Photo by Cody Sullivan) of what we’re going through, I will absolutely support hiring an attorney with the intention of going through with litigation.” The third track project has for months been met with opposition from Garden City residents as well as the board of trustees. Residents claim the construction has resulted in excessive removal of vegetation and the overall reduction in property values. One major source of controversy has been the so-called “monster-poles” installed on the south side of the train tracks, which they [residents] say received little information about prior to construction.
“They knew they were going to put those poles up, they should have contacted, at least the people in the estates,” Trouvé said. “They should have brought you in and spoken to you.” According to the MTA, there was an extensive environmental review and public outreach done prior to construction. “Since 2016, the project team has held hundreds of public meetings to discuss the scope of project elements and has met with village boards, propertyowners’ associations, school districts, civic associations, business owners, residents and other stakeholder groups,” MTA spokesperson Meredith Daniels said.
The utility poles are being built by contractors hired by the MTA, but ownership will transfer to PSEG upon completion. Also under dispute is whether the lines that will connect the poles could have been buried underground. “We also wish that the poles were not there and had pushed all along for the MTA/LIRR to bury lines where it could. The MTA/LIRR and its contractors did not meet those wishes and requests,” the Garden City Board of Trustees said in a statement. Daniels says that the project has buried utilities where feasible and any vegetation removed from village property will be replaced. “It’s possible vegetation and trees may be removed anywhere along the LIRR right-of-way because they present a hazard by blocking equipment and falling during weather events,” Daniels said. “Too many falling leaves cause dangerous “slip and slide” conditions for moving trains.” The board expects to come to a final decision on whether to litigate in the coming days and are uncertain whether that decision will be made in a public forum. That will depend on what advice they receive from the special counsel, they said.
Covert Avenue To Host Special Night Out BY ANTHONY MURRAY
amurray@antonmediagroup.com
A special night out is coming to Covert Avenue on Friday, Nov. 7 to give a boost to local businesses as well as help out the businesses that were affected by the devastating fire that happened this past September. “Originally when I took over as president of the chamber in January, I suggested an idea of ‘Covert Nights Out’ where businesses remain open late and can illuminate the streets, which would allow people to come out late and stores could offer some deals,” Covert Avenue Chamber of Commerce President Magdalena Chen said. “If it was successful we could consider making them a spring to autumn weekly or monthly event; then COVID hit.” Throughout the summer the idea was still floating around, but it was one of those things that just could never seem to come together.
“As merchants, we were all pretty exhausted from the madness of the previous months and keeping up with the ever-changing climate,” Chen explained. “In our September meeting, we revisited the idea of ‘Night On Covert’ and it became Lights On Covert Avenue. It was the same idea that businesses would open late and people could come out throughout the evening. It was scheduled for Oct. 2 and most of our businesses were on board. Then the unthinkable happened.” On Sept. 27, people awoke to a massive fire on Covert Avenue that destroyed many beloved businesses. “There was no question that Lights On Covert would not go forward as planned,” Chen said. “We all in the chamber agreed that we would not abandon the idea altogether, but would go forward at a later time.” Now, the emphasis of the night has been refocused as a fundraiser
with proceeds going to the merchants affected by the fires. The evening will begin at 5 p.m., and trees on the avenue will be lit and will remain lit through the new year. “We will be selling Covert Avenue Strong T-shirts, Covert Avenue Strong masks and we will be kicking off the selling of raffles that will be going on through the month of November in various businesses,” Chen said. “The selling of raffles will end Dec. 2 and winners will be announced on Dec. 5 at our annual Christmas Tree Lighting.” For those who would like to donate to the chamber’s Merchants Fund, visit www.gofundme.com/f/covert-avenue-chamber-merchant-relief-fund. Raffle prizes include New York Islanders hockey stick with all team members signatures; a diamond Bulova watch from Reflection Fine Jewelery ($550 value), a teeth whitening package from Manor Dental
($450 value); a beauty basket with IOPE skin products and Moroccanoil hair products from McGreevy Hair Studio ($400 value); $300 toward travel package from Sewanhaka Travel for when the time is right; free unlimited yoga classes for one month from Body Works Day Spa-Yoga Studio; a free pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses from Good Looks Optometry; a free two-hour organizing session from Stowe & Behold ($200 value); $100 framing gift card from Jack’s Custom Framing; $150 oxygen facial gift card from Nassau Nails on Covert Avenue, and more. “So please come out,” Chen said. “Buy a shirt, a mask, raffle tickets or get a slice to go. We’ll be strictly complying and enforcing safety protocols as well.” To keep up with announcements, follow the chamber on Instagram (Covertavenueli ) or on Facebook (Covert Avenue Chamber Of Commerce).

MINEOLA
Mineola Resident Celebrates His 100th Birthday
BY ANTHONY MURRAY
I
amurray@antonmediagroup.com
t is a milestone birthday and the Village of Mineola made sure that it was one to remember for World War II veteran sergeant and Mineola resident Anthony Catalano with a special car parade last weekend. During World War II, Catalano served in General Patton’s famed 3rd Army. Over the years, Catalano has shared many stories of his time overseas with one of them being when he and his men were trapped in four feet of snow in the forests of France. With no way to get out and no way for supplies to get to them, Catalano and his men suffered in sub-freezing temperatures. They even had to scrape snow into their canteens to try and melt it for water in order to survive. Catalano even had to wake his men every two and a half hours to prevent them from freezing to death. One of his men, a 19-year-old from Brooklyn, begged Catalano to shoot him in the leg so he’d be sent home as he could no longer take the frigid cold. Instead of shooting one of his own men, Catalano took off his coat and draped it over the shivering young soldier. They were finally rescued by bulldozers who plowed their way to them. Catalano’s Company was also part of the group that liberated the Dachau Concentration Camp, and to this day he gets visibly shaken when he mentions the horrors they saw. Members of the community, local elected officials such as Mayor Scott Strauss, County Legislature Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello, former village Mayor Jack Martins and others participated in the car parade, which drove past Catalano’s home. “On behalf of Sergeant Catalano and his family, I want to thank each and every one of you for participating in the car parade,” said Strauss, who organized the event. “Even if you weren’t able to physically join us, I know he felt your presence. He was truly overwhelmed and his family was in awe. From the Scouts lining the streets with flags to the motorcycles, fire departments, all of the residents, business owners, friends and neighbors to the World War II reenactors, it was an absolutely amazing event.” He added, “A special thanks to Chief Spae and his team from our auxiliary police. They did, as always, a great job coordinating with the county PD and kept everyone in the motorcade safe.
Tony Catalano celebrated his 100th birthday last weekend. (Photo courtesy of the office of Richard Nicolello) Thanks also to Chief Connolly and our firefighters for helping with the staging of the vehicles. And a very big thank you to Jim Lennon and Mike Justin from the Museum of American Armor in Bethpage for bringing their vehicles and soldiers. [It was] a great tribute to a great man from a great generation. Thanks again for everything all of you did to make this most special day that much more meaningful, not only for Tony, but for his family and our beloved community.”
With age being just a number for Catalano, he has been extremely active over the years going to schools, teaching students about the experiences he and his fellow veterans have gone through. “Tony was surrounded by his large family and was saluted by friends from throughout the community in the parade that featured WWI vintage vehicles, a motorcycle honor guard, emergency vehicles and residents from all over Mineola and beyond,” Nicolello said. “His block was lined with
American flags carried by members of Boy Scout Troop 45. Tony Catalano is a real character, who is beloved by everyone who knows him. He is incredibly fit and sharp at 100. Mayor Strauss did an incredible job organizing this wonderful tribute to an American hero and a community treasure.” Do you have a story you want to tell?

Presiding Officer Nicolello Holds Flu Shot Event In Mineola With flu season coming, joined with a global pandemic this year, it is important now more than ever to make sure that you receive your flu shot. On Wednesday, Oct. 21, Nassau County Legislature Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello held a free flu shot event at the Mineola Community Center in Mineola. The event was in conjunction with NuHealth NUMC and was open to all Nassau County residents, as long as they made an appointment. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has emphasized the importance of getting a flu shot this season. Flu shots will drastically help protect residents from getting the flu and stop hospitals from having to handle both the flu and COVID-19 patients at the same time. “This flu season, more than ever, the CDC is recommending everyone get a flu shot to help prevent getting the spread of the flu,” Nicolello said. “I was happy to see so many residents out taking proactive steps to stay healthy this flu season.” —Submitted by the office of Richard Nicollelo

Virtual Local Authors Panel Is The Cat’s Meow

HICKSVILLE
Reference librarian/writer to moderate Zoom session BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO
W
dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com
hen reference librarian Debbie De Louise moderates a local author panel discussion at the Hicksville Public Library at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 12, she’ll join seven other scribes participating in this Zoom session. Along with De Luise, participants can expect to hear from Stasie Fishman, Marilyn Levinson, James J. Cudney IV, John Krahn, Jacqueline DeStefano, Elaine Donadio and Tracy Auerbach. A lifelong writer with a prolific output of titles that include the Cobble Cove Mystery Series and a number of standalone mystery thrillers, De Louise was inspired by a patron to suggest the idea of a local author collection to newly installed library Director Christine Edwins. “I have a homebound patron that asks for my books all the time,” the Hicksville native said. “He just turned 95 and is an avid reader that likes my books. He once said to me I should have a local author collection at the library. I approached [Christine] and told her about him and what he suggested. She said it would be a great idea to have a local author collection and find out what books of local authors we already own. We started with Hicksville and surrounding areas like Levittown and Westbury, areas where a lot of residents from there patronize our library.” The Hicksville Public Library’s new Local Author Collection has a dedicated section featuring fiction and nonfiction materials for adults, teens and children by Hicksville-area authors. These writers are indie authors that are either affiliated with independent publishers or self-published. Labels indicating local author designations can be found on the spines of the books and when patrons look up these tomes on the library’s computer system, a bracketed local author designation appears next to each title. For the upcoming event, patrons need to register for the Zoom session. Moderator De Louise will introduce each author and share their bio, at which point the scribes will talk about their books and writing process. There will also be a question and answer session open to registered attendees. Given her background as a published, award-winning author, De Louise is the perfect person to direct this discussion. Born and raised in Hicksville, writing has been a mainstay in this C.W. Post alum’s life dating back to a childhood reading the likes of Victoria Holt and Phyllis Whitney. Since 2015, De Louise has been churning out between one and two novels annually. Her latest title is No Gravestone Unturned, which is part five in the Cobble Cove series and was published on Oct. 5 in eBook and on Oct. 6 in paperback. An avowed feline lover who shares her home with Stripey, Harry and Hermione along with husband Anthony and daughter Holly, De Louise has cats play

a major role in her series. Her books can be classified as cozy mysteries, a sub-genre of crime fiction in which sex and violence occur offstage, the detective is an amateur sleuth and the crime and detection take place in a small, socially intimate neighborhood. De Louise’s fictional Upstate New York municipality of Cobble Cove is the setting for this series, where Alicia McKinney is the primary amateur detective in a community that brings to mind Cabot Cove, the television town where Angela Lansbury’s Jessica Fletcher solves mysteries. The main difference is how De Louise has Sneaky the library cat and his gal pal Kittykai help McKinney out with the heavy lifting. “Sneaky the library cat has been in the series from the beginning and is the main cat character,” De Louise explained. “ He was simply a regular cat that sort of led the main [protagonist] Alicia to clues. After I did the fourth book that introduced another cat named Kittykai to the series, I wanted their roles to be more important than just that of ordinary cats. What I did was I allowed the reader to see their thoughts, but I still had them doing cat-like things and be involved in the mystery.” Two months is the average time it takes De Louise to complete a book. An admitted early bird who is usually up at around 5 a.m., she keeps a busy schedule working full-time at the library, raising her teenage daughter and writing short stories and articles. “I have an article coming out in Catster magazine in the January-February issue,” she said. “I’ve had on-line articles published by them, but this will be the first print article. I’m also working on a nonfiction cat book as well as the first book of a new cozy series that I’m querying to agents.” Visit www.hicksvillelibrary.org and go to the calendar of events to register for the upcoming Local Author Panel Discussion.

OLD WESTBURY
Village Grapples With Rental Issues BY FRANK RIZZO

W
ho would ever imagine that “rental problem” and “Old Westbury” would be in the same sentence? Yes, one of the most affluent villages in New York State has had to modify its zoning, in part to deal with an influx of residents fleeing New York City during the pandemic. Town zoning prohibits multi-family housing, so the village wants to gain control of any rental issues at its single-family residences. A glance at house rentals The driveway to a home on Wheatley Road in Old Westbury that is currently listed as websites reveals that at least available for rent.

Wecker then brought up the requirement that a code enforcement officer enter and inspect a home to be rented before a permit can be issued. “Given the fact that we are in the middle of an historic pandemic, and there are 80 [positive cases] in the village, there will be residents who will be put at risk, and will object to an unrelated person entering their house,” he said. Wecker suggested that “no inspections of occupied houses should be allowed or required until an accepted vaccine is widely available.” “I understand your COVID concerns,” replied Trustee Marina Chimerine. “However, if an individual has a fear of COVID and wants to keep people out, the first people they should be keeping out are the people looking to rent [their house].” If they allow potential renters to come look at a dwelling, she added, “then there should not be a problem doing the same with a building inspector.” The mayor then moved that the law be adopted, and it passed unanimously. In an interview with Anton Media Group, Novick said that, “Renting is going on throughout the village, and it wasn’t being codified and it wasn’t being monitored.” He added, “My goal is to have voluntary compliance, with a less invasive approach.” The law lists a number of what it calls “presumption[s] that a premises is being used as a rental,” such as multiple mailboxes. “If the building inspector thinks something is going on, he will contact the homeowner and tell them it’s better for them to voluntarily come in and get a permit,” Novick said. “There will be a request for voluntary compliance.” Do you have a story you want to tell?

Plainview Man Will Run 50 Miles PLAINVIEW In A Day To Raise Money For Alzheimer’s BY JOSEPH WOLKIN
jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com
Don’t be alarmed if you see someone running all over Long Island on Nov. 5. The person is Jay Asparro, and he’ll be running a whopping 50 miles from Jones Beach to Theodore Roosevelt Park in Oyster Bay. Asparro, who is from Plainview, is returning to complete such a feat for the fifth straight year. The annual Ann Asparro run, named after his grandmother who lost her life due to Alzheimer’s, aims to raise $100,000 for the Long Island Alzheimer’s and Dementia Center, located in Westbury. “The first year, I ran from Montauk to Plainview over three days and the following year, I ran 50 miles in one day and the New York City Marathon the next day,” Asparro said. “Last year, I did 100 miles on a track. My body feels pretty good and that’s why I decided to run 50 miles.” The Long Island Alzheimer’s and Dementia Center is thrilled to work with Asparro on the project. He said that the daily cost for each individual at the center is roughly $70, and the $100,000 could be 1,400 days of help for one participant. “This year, we are proud to honor Jay at our Virtual Comedy from the Couch on Nov. 5,”
Long Island Alzheimer’s and Dementia Center Executive Director Tori Cohen said. “He will be named the LIAD Center’s first-ever Unsung Hero for his work and awareness over the last five years. Jay is running a path that is familiar to caregivers – a long, difficult and often tedious path that compels them to keep moving forward.” Asparro spent each Sunday morning with his grandmother at the Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation, having breakfast with her each week for six months. The disease deteriorated her health, and it had a dramatic impact on the entire family. Now, Asparro wants to give back. “I put my mind and my body through a lot, but I know there’s more people going through worse,” he said. “I want people to have a better understanding of what caregivers are going through with their struggle. They need money to provide these programs.” Visit www.lidementia.org to donate to the Long Island Alzheimer’s and Dementia Center. In honor of his grandmother, Jay Asparro will run from the south shore of Long Island to the north shore for a total of 50 miles in a day with a goal to raise $100,000.

VIGILANCE A MUST IN COVID-19 PREVENTION EFFORTS After the recent discovery of troubling COVID-19 hot spots throughout the metropolitan region, Governor Andrew Cuomo launched the Cluster Action Initiative—a three-tiered framework of restrictions that will be strategically implemented to squelch outbreaks in their earliest stages so that they do not wreak further havoc. While I am grateful that communities within the 16th Legislative District have not been directly impacted by a COVID-19 hot spot as of this moment, this development must serve as a stark reminder to all of us that continued vigilance is essential as we navigate the days and weeks ahead. With colder weather on
the horizon, it is especially important to commit to washing your hands frequently, wearing masks and observing proper social distancing. If you feel ill —and especially if you experience ailments consistent with a symptomatic case of COVID-19—stay home and call your doctor right away. Even if you are feeling well, adherence to these CDC guidelines is essential because you may be an asymptomatic carrier that can infect others. Actively monitoring your health will give you the necessary knowledge for making informed decisions that will protect your family, your friends and your entire community. That is why I have worked alongside Dr. Perry Frankel and Advanced
Cardiovascular Diagnostics throughout the pandemic to bring mobile COVID antibody testing to Hicksville, Syosset,
With colder weather on the horizon, it is especially important to commit to washing your hands frequently, wearing masks and observing proper social distancing. and twice to Plainview. Our series of pop-up clinics allowed hundreds of residents to learn their COVID-19
antibody status and undergo important cardiovascular exams in a convenient setting. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Frankel for his unwavering commitment to this crucial public health initiative. After resoundingly flattening the COVID-19 curve this summer, Nassau County is approaching a pivotal moment in this pandemic. Now more than ever, it is essential for all of us to take proactive, proven steps to preserve our hard-fought progress. —Legislator Arnold Drucker Arnold W. Drucker, of Plainview, was first elected to the Nassau County Legislature in 2016. He represents the 16th Legislative District in the Nassau County Legislature.

dose of noise from feedback. Your meeting of Oct. 13, was a deliberate effort to try to confuse the public with a slide show that nobody else could see, and a conference call that was riddled with delay and noise that made it so the public could not follow what was being said. This has become nothing more than a convenient method for you all to ram through legislation and not have to face the public. It is time you all establish the courage to face the public on your policies of governing. You were all quick to promote hundreds showing up for your Census 2020 events that you all attended and spread pictures of yourselves all over social media yet you
continue to deny the people of Glen Cove the forum to address their grievances to their elected officials. I have attended several meetings of different organizations over the past several months that all had more attendees than a Glen Cove City Council meeting has ever had. Social distancing was achieved without any problem. The Town of Oyster Bay holds public meetings. At this point one
can only conclude that you all lack the will and the courage to face your constituents. You have all failed to look into any other venue that can hold a public meeting safely. Stop hiding behind COVID-19 and face your constituents. Arrange your meetings so that the public can attend and be heard without your use of electronic confusion. Enough is enough. —Brian F.

The Halls Bustle With Activity At NSHAHS Virtual Back-to-School Nights are underway, though somewhat different this year at North Shore Hebrew Academy High School (NSHAHS). Nevertheless, for the Back-to-School evening that already occurred, the night was as informative and effective as it would be in-person. To quote my mother on Tuesday night, “Watching the Zoom session, I felt as though I was sitting in class in front of the teacher.” As parents Zoom into the teachers’ classrooms in accordance with their child’s schedule, they have the opportunity to gain an understanding of what their child is learning this year. Teachers review the syllabus and discuss their goals for their students. Overall, it was a highly engaging and productive evening for both parents and teachers. The meetings continue over the next week. Since September, the North Shore Debate Team has been meticulously planning for the Election Town Hall.
CHLOE MASTOUR North Shore Hebrew Academy
Coordinated by NSHAHS Coach David Miles, students took partisan sides and debated each other before the election. Students covered critical issues including President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus, the U.S. economy, racial justice, healthcare, foreign policy, gun control and climate change. In an effort to engage and inspire the student body in the election, the debaters carefully crafted brief, yet compelling speeches. The Town Hall
was filmed prior to its airing on Nov. 2, when it was displayed on the classroom TVs. Upon watching their peers debate, students then voted for their preferred candidate, with the winner announced afterward. As a participant in the town hall, I was amazed by the unyielding effort and commitment my peers have put into the program. It was a truly memorable experience, for both students and teachers, and one that I am proud to have been a part of. Kicking off high school amid a global pandemic greatly hinders the social scene. This is especially true for freshmen; it’s difficult to discern faces under masks and with only seeing their peers every other day, making new friends can pose new challenges. That is why Oct. 21 was a day of great excitement for North Shore freshmen. From 6 to 9 p.m, students enjoyed a day outdoors, with icebreakers, kumzits, a prepared lunch (wrapped in individual boxes) and topping it all of
with a speech from Rabbi Barak Levy. Hopefully, the virus will be behind us soon, and the freshmen can enjoy their full retreat at Camp Seneca Lake in May. In the meantime, freshmen have begun their individual meetings with school headmaster, Dr. Daniel Vitow, allowing for a comfortable transition to a fabulous four years. The college guidance office has been abuzz, with seniors hard at work on their college applications. As always, fall is a busy time for seniors, though this year has introduced some changes. While seniors have not been able to visit schools in-person, the schools visited them. Twenty colleges virtually visited NSHAHS this month, giving seniors the opportunity to get familiar with schools, maybe even schools they were not planning on applying to. Turns out, you can learn just as much about a school, if not more while lying in bed. Stay safe and be well.
The New York MTA Financial Crises Has Been Growing For Decades Prior To COVID-19 The New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli’s audit “Financial Outlook for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority” overlooked past history regarding how the MTA ended up in today’s fiscal crises. Both City Hall and Albany consistently decreased hard cash contributions to the MTA by billions under each previous MTA five-year capital plan, on a bipartisan basis. This included past Governors Mario Cuomo (Democrat), George Pataki (Republican), Elliot Spitzer (D), David Patterson (D) and Andrew Cuomo (D). Billions more are needed from Albany to make up for past cuts over decades. Everyone insisted that the MTA continue financing more of the Capital Program by borrowing. As a result, going forward, 20 percent of the annual MTA budget goes for covering the costs of debt service payments. This means less money for operations to provide frequent reliable service to riders. There is less money to maintain the state of good repair and safety. The cupboard is bare for system expansion. MTA union work rules sometimes prevent contracting out work to the private sector. Third-party private contractors require New York City Transit (NYCT) subway and Staten Island Railway, Long Island Rail Road and Metro North Rail Road agency Force Account (their employees) to provide both supervision and protection, when they work on or adjacent to active right of way track. There are sometimes excessive numbers of MTA supervisory or employees assigned. The various MTA operating agencies

A Veteran’s Perspective
Joseph Perry Grassi discusses his new novel and his journey BY EMILY SAUCHELLI esauchelli@antonnews.com
J Q A
What is The Little Guy (or The Motor Scooter) about? It’s about a fairly young man who joins the Army kind of late in life. The average recruits [are] between 18 and 24-years-old. So, the protagonist in this book—Corrado—joins when he’s 28-years-old. He’s looking for direction in life; he’s broken hearted and feels like he wants to be part of something greater than himself. The book is about all of the dynamics that we face in America today. The book is about the U.S. Army experience. Within that story there are subplots that have to do with diversity and inclusion, prejudice and discrimination.
Q A
Where did you find inspiration for The Little Guy (or The Motor Scooter)? I graduated from Stony Brook, and I was a literature major. The great writers in American literature have influenced me; Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Also, I was inspired by other types of

Q A
Is there a meaning behind the title of the book? I chose ‘the little guy’ for a couple of reasons. The protagonist—like myself—is not a very big guy. Anybody who is under 5-feet-9 inches and male is considered a little guy. Literally the character is a ‘little guy.’ The old wise adage is write what you know. So, that’s what I did. The little guy—in terms of the proverbial expression—is the guy that doesn’t have much power in the world, in the country. He’s the guy who doesn’t have a lot of power in life. No one listens to what he has to say. His opinions and comments are usually maligned or ridiculed or sideline, and no one pays much attention to him. But then again, ‘the little guy’ can do a lot of

We had two of our members pass away just recently. In lieu of the service, our commander went to the homes of the families and while keeping “social distancing” presented the families with an American Legion flag case to place the flag, which was draped over the casket. He then stood at the front of the house, read a prayer, played taps and saluted the families as a gesture of respect and thank you for the veteran’s service to our country and the American Legion. —Submitted by The New Hyde Park/Ernie Pyle American Legion Post 1089

Complete The Airborne Hazards And Open Burn Pit Registry All veterans who served in eligible locations should include their information in the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pits Registry. Participation in the registry is very important as it will allow VA to track burn pit exposure and draw inferences regarding associated adverse health effects. Exposure to burn pits may be associated with respiratory conditions such as asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). Recently, the VA stated that veterans with underlying respiratory conditions may be at greater risk for developing complications related to COVID-19. Service members and veterans who have already signed up for the registry should make sure their contact information, phone number, address and email are up-to-date.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino joined his colleagues on the town board to recognize and honor Captain Chris Moskos and Lieutenant Andrew Niemczyk of the Hicksville Fire Department for their heroic and exemplary actions when responding to a working house fire, which ultimately saved the life of a 90-year-old woman. On the morning of Monday, Sept. 28, members of the Hicksville Fire Department responded to a working house fire on Sutherland Road at 5:30 a.m. with reports of a victim being trapped inside. In the process of searching the house, the two first responders found a 90-year-old woman lying on the floor unconscious and collectively carried the unconscious victim outside to safety. They ultimately transported her to the hospital via ambulance. Those on hand noted that the victim was removed just in the nick of time. Supervisor Saladino and members of the Town Board commended Moskos and Niemczyk on their amazing heroic, and lifesaving actions, which undoubtedly resulted in the saving of the victim’s life.

Four Massapequa High School students will showcase their musical abilities at this year’s All-State Music Festival, hosted by the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual music conference will be held online. Kate Dramer (alto) and Carli Sanger (soprano) were chosen to NYSSMA vocal ensembles for the second time. Dramer will perform with the treble chorus and Sanger with the mixed chorus. Mia Tichacek, also a second-time selection, will play the
violin in the string orchestra. Jackson MacLeod, who plays the snare drum, was chosen as an alternate for the band’s percussion section. Their selection to these highly-competitive ensembles was based on evaluation scores and comments from the spring 2019 NYSSMA assessment as well as detailed recommendations from their music teachers. The 2020 Cyber Summit will feature music workshops, guest speakers, virtual showcase and student performances. All-State musicians will also join virtual ensembles for a closing concert.

Two Great Tastes That Go Together Stony Hill release finds G.E. Smith teaming with Philly soul legend BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

I
f you ask G.E. Smith to describe himself as a musician, he humbly answers, “I’m a bar band guy.” And while there’s truth to this assertion given the fact that he started out playing in saloons and taverns as an 11-year-old growing up in Pennsylvania, it belies the major events/jobs he’s been a part of for the past four-plus decades. He held down the guitar slot in Daryl Hall and John Oates’ band during the duo’s 1979 to 1985 commercial heyday, was the Saturday Night Live band leader for a decade and been the musical director for a number of significant musical events including the 1992 30th Anniversary Concert Bob Dylan Celebration at Madison Square From left: LeRoy Bell and G.E.

LeRoy Bell’s early songwriting success came via the inclusion of a pair of his songs on the 1977 Elton John EP The Thom Bell Sessions Garden. Smith has also been an in-demand hired hand for a number of music industry titans including Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Buddy Guy and Roger Waters. But amid all these storied opportunities, Smith is proudest of Stony Hill, the new album he released with veteran soul singer LeRoy Bell, the kind of vocalist the man born George Edward Smith has spent roughly three decades seeking out. “I was listening to a playlist of stuff by my wife Taylor Barton and LeRoy came on and I heard his voice and said, ‘That’s the guy I’ve been looking for,’” Smith recalled. “I’ve been looking for a great singer for 30 years. Singers and drummers are the hardest thing to get because if they’re that good, they get snatched up before they ever get out of their hometown. I asked who that was and she said it was this guy LeRoy Bell from Seattle. And then she got in touch with him and invited him to come out here to Amagansett to our house and he came. We sat down and started to play and he had just written a song ‘America,’ which is on the Stony Hill record. We went right into the studio within two days and started to record.” Bell’s background is equally impressive. The nephew of legendary Philly soul producer/composer/ arranger Thom Bell, the younger singer-songwriter cut his teeth with former creative partner Casey James starting in the ‘70s, eventually writing songs for a number of
artists including The O’Jays, The arranging instincts make for an Troublesome to mourn and weep.’ album that is a crossroads of rock Troublesome Creek is a little town in Spinners, Teddy Pendergrass and and soul and includes a pair of covers Kentucky.

I think the third verse says, ‘I go to not have heard them in their original year. During this time, Smith and Bell recorded a surplus of material, winnowing the total down to 11 for this record that was produced and arranged by Smith and whose theme is an in-depth look at where we stand as an American democracy. While the title shares the same name of where Smith and Barton live, it also signifies “the struggle of pushing the rock up that hill.” Bell sings with a croon that’s got the slightest edge of grit. The lion’s share of songs were penned by him and contain substantial fare ranging from the aforementioned “America” and weighty couplets like “Disillusion/ mass confusion, our constitution— they’re tryna burn it down” to “Let the Sunshine In,” a more optimistic tune goosed along by subtle organ Buffy Sainte-Marie was an early influence on G.E.

arrangements.” Relationships and being in the right place at the right time have been a hallmark of Smith’s long and strange musical path. He got his first guitar, a 1930s Collegiate guitar (“a cheap Chicago-made instrument”), when he was four and spotted it hanging on the wall in the basement when he accompanied his mother downstairs while she did laundry. Belonging to his Uncle George (who the younger Smith was named for), the guitar was gifted to Smith by his mom. While he spent the next three years “dragging it around the backyard and banging on the strings to get them to vibrate,” Smith’s same Uncle George had a girlfriend who gifted a Martin guitar to Smith when he was seven. More importantly, that girlfriend’s 14-yearold Irish nanny taught Smith how to fingerpick along with a handful of
traditional Celtic songs. By the time Smith was 11, he was playing bars and eventually playing Mount Airy Lodge in the Poconos when he was 15 as a member of Bob Newman and the Starlight Orchestra. There, he backed up the likes of Red Buttons and Carmen McCrae. It was here Smith received significant enlightenment from his then-musical boss. “I was talking to Bob Newman the bandleader one time after a show and he said, ‘You’ve got to have big ears,’” Smith said. “He meant, you have to listen to every kind of music and to not limit yourself to the one kind you’re in love with. I was in love with the Stones, Yardbirds and The Who. He said you have to have listen to everything. That’s the best advice I ever got.” Smith’s musical versatility has served him well, particularly given the fact that he estimates he has “a couple

of thousand songs he knows that people recognize” rattling around in his head. It has allowed Smith to bond with Hall over their common love of The Dells and Delfonics before the latter hired the former to play guitar for him and Oates, be a band leader for a number of Kennedy Center functions including ones honoring Willie Nelson and Dylan and serve the same role for the Mark Twain Awards, of which one of these events paid tribute to old SNL boss Lorne Michaels. And while it would be easy for Smith to rest on his laurels, it’s his current collaboration with Bell he’s most excited about. “I’ve played on a lot of good records—great songs that were recorded and not hits and bad songs that were hits,” he said. “So you can never tell. I’m really proud
of this Stony Hill record and I love working with LeRoy. To me, it’s really important to have that combination—LeRoy is black and I’m white—that’s obvious. But that’s the combination in American culture, especially in American musical culture. That’s what makes it great. That combination of what started in the 18th and 19th century. What the slaves brought from Africa and the music that the lower-class people that came from the British Isles, Germany and Italy brought over. When it all intermingled, that’s what made American music and what’s great about it—that combination.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re curious about how to make your life better. Even so, there are questions that are too unhelpful to ask. You’ll know which ones they are by the fact that giving voice to them changes very little. Focus on good questions, like: “What happened here?” “What are my choices?” “What is best to do now?” CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve been the child, innocently stating the truth that the polite adults could not say. You’ve since learned to see it as they do, but you still know the truth. It will be extremely satisfying, as well as helpful, to look for publicly accepted ways to be honest, perhaps through art or critical commentary.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People respond positively when they feel in sync with one another. It’s why you’re careful not to interrupt, rush things or make communication mistakes that come from not listening well. The efforts you make to sync up on many levels will bring you in closer with the people around you. All goes smoothly in your world. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Each person develops in different ways at different times. There is no particular growth rate or pattern that is better than any other. Allowing yourself to move at the pace and in the direction that feels appropriate -- challenging but not overwhelming, and genuinely interesting -- is an act of self-love and a key to success. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your charisma is so powerful that it seems to have a life of its own. You can’t control it. It lingers in places you wouldn’t have expected. Hanging back after you’ve left, rushing forward before you arrive... your presence is felt where your body is absent. You may wonder if a person is into you -- or your charisma. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re challenged with showing up with a stellar attitude to a situation you don’t feel like participating in at all. You’re not sure whether “fake it till you make it” is the best route or if it’s time to throw in the towel. It’s too soon to tell. Split the difference. Just show up and see what happens. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Reading facial expressions is important in making decisions about how to behave with others. When people can’t do this well, they become paranoid and unharmonious. Your powers of empathy are augmented now. You’ll create your own success and help others who struggle with emotional synchronization. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Becoming capable in a particular activity, gaining skills and learning how to have more of a desired emotion running through your days -- these are all examples of intrinsic goals worth striving for. They will lead to a stronger sense of self, which extrinsic goals of material gain and status can never provide.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Islanders Update Fans On UBS Arena At Belmont Park BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

he New York Islanders revealed fresh renderings of the UBS Arena at Belmont Park, set to open a year from now. The UBS Arena at Belmont Park is currently under construction and was not delayed even after work stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. UBS recently signed a 20-year deal to be the official title sponsor of the 19,000-seat arena, reportedly worth an estimated $17.5-18 million annually. Recently, the arena was “topped off” by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. “The Islanders are Long Island’s team and they deserve a permanent home here among their fans.,” Cuomo said. “Today, we are taking another major step toward making that a reality, while building a brighter future for all New Yorkers. In New York, we have repeatedly shown that we can deliver big projects despite the odds — and in the face of delays related to the coronavirus pandemic, the Belmont team stepped up to keep this transformational project on schedule. This arena will boost our economy and is evidence—in steel and concrete—that 3

home,” Ledecky said. “In terms of the design, we wanted to have all of the elements of Nassau Coliseum, with the intimacy of the ice and the bowl. When Alexander Ovechkin and I were at a wedding together, he said, ‘Wow, I love playing in your building because the fans are right on top of it. I love the noise of them cheering at me or yelling at me. It inspires me.’ We want to have part of that brought over from Nassau to the UBS Arena.” Since the Islanders had an extraordinary run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, nearly qualifying for the Stanley Cup match itself, ticket demands have soared. As of late August, the demand for season tickets skyrocketed and only 20 percent of such seats were left at that point for the 2021-22 NHL season. “We are thrilled to see this strong response to UBS Arena at Belmont Park, which will be the state of the art sports and music venue in the market,” Tim Leiweke, CEO of Oak View Group, a partner in UBS Arena at Belmont Park, said.
