Garbarino Trumps Gordon For King’s Old District

On-site voting has Second Congressional seat staying in GOP control

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

I

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

n the race for the 2nd Congressional District seat of veteran legislator Peter King, Assemblyman Andrew Garbarino, the Republican nominee and King heir apparent, tallied 58 percent (157,001 votes) to Democratic competitor Jackie Gordon’s 41.1 percent (111,204). Green Party candidate Harry Burger received a .09 percent (2,565) sliver of the electoral pie.

And while these numbers represent 100 percent of tallied same-day votes, like so many other races in this 2020 electoral season, the counting of absentee ballots is what has prevented the race from being officially called. Like the Trump-Biden presidential race, where the tallying of absentee ballots found the latter marching towards the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the presidency days after the polls closed, Gordon’s camp is hoping for a similar scenario and has yet to concede despite the 17-point differential at press time.

“With the unprecedented number of Long Islanders casting absentee ballots this year, it is clear that this election will not be called anytime soon,” Gordon representative Remmington Belford said in a statement. “To certify the results of this election, every vote must be counted, and we look forward to seeing the final results.”

The processing of absentee votes didn’t prevent Garbarino from declaring victory.

“I am honored to have received such amazing support from the great people of New York’s 2nd Congressional District,” he said in a statement.

“While there are more votes to be counted, I am confident we will be named the winner in this election.”

Framing The Race The 2nd Congressional District stretches in the west from Levittown and wends east through North Wantagh, Seaford, South Farmingdale and Massapequa right into a number of Suffolk County communities including Amityville, Copiague, Lindenhurst, Brentwood, Babylon, Oakdale and Ronkonkoma. Previously designated as the 3rd Congressional District, it’s a seat that’s been in Republican hands dating back to 1993, when King won his first race for it and served 14 terms as a representative before announcing his retirement.

Hand-picked by the GOP, Garbarino won a primary race against fellow assemblyman Mike LiPetri while garnering endorsements from King and a number of law enforcement unions. Garbarino is a third-generation local businessman who works at his family law firm in downtown Sayville. A fourterm Assemblyman, Garbarino touted his experience in Albany throughout his campaign, citing his numerous roles including his being a Ranking

as of today, she doesn’t want to repeal bail reform.

She’s running more on her résumé than what her plans for the district are.”

Gordon is a 29-year military veteran who retired from the Army Reserve with the rank of lieutenant colonel in 2014 and served on the Babylon Town Council since 2007, resigning in 2020 to run for Congress. Eventually endorsed by President Barack Obama, she took on Garbarino as the Democratic nominee after getting past political activist Pat Maher, who lost to King in 2014. A seasoned educator who spent three decades working in New York public schools, including time spent as a guidance counselor at Wilson Technological Center in Farmingdale, Gordon made veterans’ rights and fighting for health care a main thrust of her campaign. She felt Gabarino’s comments about her commitment to the rule of law ignored the role her experience as a public servant played in upholding those very ideals.

“I was in the military for 29 years of which 27 of those I was a police officer, so not only do I support law enforcement, I am law enforcement,” she said in a prior interview. “In addition to that, I spent 32 years caring for our youngsters. They were in my care for six hours a day for 32 years. It was my job to make sure they were safe when they were in my care. And as a councilwoman on the town board for 13 years, part of my responsibility was public safety. So I have personally spent my entire life keeping my community and my country safe and not just supporting it.

My opponent supports [law enforcement]. I am law enforcement. So there is no foundation there at all.”

Moving Forward

Minority Member of the Committee on Insurance and his sitting on the Codes, Health, Higher Education, and Racing and Wagering committees.

In pushing a Long Island-first theme throughout the race, Garbarino focused on getting a pro-public safety message across to voters, going so far as to question where his opponent fell on this issue when asked about it while he was running.

“We have a pro-public safety and pro-law enforcement message regarding what’s going on with bail reform and what’s going on with criminal justice reform,” he said. “We’re promising to stay on the side of public safety and not pro-criminal. We’ve been focusing on my opponent not taking a public stance on any of those issues. She’s been asked about defunding the police and to my knowledge

With roughly 49,000 requested mail-in ballots unaccounted for and Gordon facing a nearly 46,000 ballot deficit, Garbarino is already looking ahead to the work he’s going to be tackling in Congress. Not unlike the bipartisan message he shares with President-Elect Biden, the Sayville native knows future hurdles are going to involve plenty of working across the aisle.

“As a neighborhood and nation, we are faced with many hurdles ahead,” he said in a statement.

“We must come together to solve these important issues as one community—not allow ourselves to continue to divide on political party lines. Of course everyone won’t agree on everything all the time and that’s okay. Taking different ideas and perspectives into consideration is important to efficiently and effectively find solutions to the problems we face.

As your Congressman, I am excited to work with everyone and anyone to continue to move both our community and our country to new heights.”

Kathleen Rice Wins Reelection For Fourth Congressional District

BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

K

athleen Rice was reelected to New York’s 4th Congressional District this past week beating out opponent Republican Douglas Tuman—although as of publication the ballots are still being closely counted.

“It is an extraordinary honor to be reelected to the U.S. House of Representatives,” Rice said in a statement on her Facebook page.

“Serving the people of New York’s 4th Congressional District is the greatest privilege of my life, and I am eager to continue fighting for Long Island in Congress.”

New York’s 4th Congressional District covers the communities of Bellerose, Bellerose Terrace, East Meadow, Elmont, Floral Park, Garden City, Mineola, Carle Place, New Hyde Park, South Floral Park, Stewart Manor, Wantagh, Westbury, and other towns and villages.

Kathleen Rice (Contributed photo) “We are still awaiting the final vote tally, and every absentee ballot must be counted, but the result of the election is clear,” the Garden City native continued in her statement. “I want to congratulate my opponents for running a hard race. I commend anyone who is willing to put themselves out there to serve their community. As we await the final

results from across the country, I am hopeful that this will be a good night for our nation. I believe we can move forward from this election stronger and more unified. Long Islanders are Americans of all political backgrounds want an end to the dysfunction in Washington, and we can only achieve that if we work together.”

Rice has spent her entire career working as a public servant, the majority of which as a prosecutor. She began her career as an Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn, where she prosecuted cases of domestic violence and gang activity before joining the office’s elite Homicide Bureau. In 1999, she was appointed an Assistant U.S. Attorney, where she worked as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Philadelphia office. In 2005, she was elected as the Nassau County DA. As the first woman DA in Nassau, she worked hard to support women’s rights in every facet of our society—in

the workplace, the health care system and in education.

Tuman also released his own statement about the race on his social media.

“Absentees still need to be counted, but win or lose, my message is the same—let’s continue to push forward on the mission of building a brighter future together,” he said. “Nassau County and the 4th Congressional [District] specifically has an infinite amount of untapped potential that we can unlock if we all work closely together as a community. Whether in federal office as our representative or just as Doug Tuman your neighbor, I am going to continue to work towards bringing people together to improve all of our lives, especially in the areas of the district that have been overlooked.”

Franklin Refuses To Concede After Kaplan Declares Victory More than 35,000 absentee ballots yet to be counted

BY MARCO SCHADEN

mschaden@antonmediagroup.com

T

he incumbent, Democrat State Senator Anna Kaplan, has declared victory in the race for Senate District 7 against former Port Washington Police Commissioner and Republican candidate Dave Franklin. Franklin has yet to concede the race, as more than 35,000 absentee ballots have yet to be counted and no one outside of the Kaplan campaign has declared a victor.

Kaplan currently leads Franklin, 51.9 to 48.1 percent, with a margin of 4,452 votes. Absentee ballots in New York States are expected to be counted at some point around Nov. 10.

“As a former political refugee, being elected to represent my neighbors in the New York State Senate has been the honor of a lifetime, and I’m extremely humbled that the people of Nassau County have placed their trust in me to be their Senator for two more years.”

Kaplan said in a statement declaring victory early Wednesday morning. “As we move forward, it’s more important than ever that our community comes together so that we can address the challenges we face due to the coronavirus pandemic, and I look forward to continuing that work on behalf of Long Island families and small businesses across New York State.”

Franklin put out a statement on Twitter and Facebook after Kaplan declared victory, saying he would not concede the race.

“While my opponent has chosen to declare victory, I will remind her that there are still 30,000 absentee and writein votes to be counted and I have yet to concede,” Franklin said. “This is not sour grapes, this is the process. We owe it to our voters to complete the process, and I’m guessing that if the situation was reversed my opponent would do the same thing. Stay tuned.”

The Kaplan campaign believes that it will win the majority of absentee ballots because the remaining votes are mostly registered Democrats. Out of the returned absentee ballots, 18,981 are from registered Democrats and 6,757 are from registered Republicans with the remaining ballots come from minority party or unaffiliated voters.

“The Senator has a significant lead in the current vote total, and the overwhelming number of outstanding

ballots were cast by Democrats,” Kaplan’s Director of Communications Sean Ross Collins said. “It’s customary in situations like this to declare victory.

Ultimately in a few weeks the final vote

total will be tallied and the race certified, and that will happen whether or not Mr. Franklin chooses to concede.”

However, the Franklin campaign believes they may be able to pick off

some Democrat-registered voters that sent in their absentee ballots.

“There was a huge surge with a movement called Dems for Dave, and I don’t think that anything is in the bag until all votes are counted, and all votes should be counted, that’s what’s fair,” Franklin Campaign Manager Meagan Parker McCarty said.

Both campaigns spoke about the unique circumstances of running this year with the pandemic posing many challenges, including the reason behind so many absentee ballots yet to be counted. A final tally of votes is expected within the next two weeks.

Suozzi Remains Confident Absentee Ballots Will Give Him A Win

BY CAROLINE RYAN

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

Results for the3rd Congressional District race between incumbent Congressman Tom Suozzi and Republican George Santos has not been formally announced due to absentee ballots, which have not been yet counted.

In New York, absentee ballots are expected to be counted the week of Nov. 9.

As of Friday, Nov. 6, Santos leads Suozzi 50 to 49 percent, with a margin of more than 4,100 votes.

Despite this number, Suozzi is confident that the large number of absentee ballots will considerably shift the race in his direction.

“In my race, I’m down a little bit in the votes that were the early votes and on the machines but there are 90,000 absentee ballots of which 51 percent are registered Democrats,

Democrat Tom Suozzi

Republican George Santos

17 percent are registered Republicans, so that’s 3:1 Democrats to Republicans.

The rest are blanks and independents,” Suozzi said during a press conference on Nov. 4. “I feel very good that I will win by at least 2:1 in the absentee ballots, which means I will pick up over 27,000 votes. In 2016, I won my race for congress in the same district by 19,000 votes. I’m pretty confident that I’m going to win this race by more than 20,000 votes. I feel very good about it.”

Suozzi stated that the

absentee ballots could take a while to count and it could be up to two weeks until a final decision is made. He is encouraging the people to be patient and to trust the process, ensuring that all of the absentee ballots will be counted.

“They don’t actually start counting the ballots until [Nov. 9] but I’m very confident that based upon the 90,000 absentee ballots, the percentage of Democrats, the percentage of Republicans, the history of doing this kind of stuff, that I’m going to win by

over 20,000 votes.”

Santos, however, is confident that the current numbers will ring true.

“We are currently up over 4,000 votes with 72 percent ballots reported,” Santos said on Nov. 4.

“Experts counted me out just like they did our President. We always knew we were going to win this race, and that’s exactly how we have worked on our campaign—with a victor’s mindset. We beat Suozzi tonight, and we will beat him again anytime he feels brave enough to try to bring corruption and complacency back to New York. It’s a new era. God bless you all.”

While Santos is confident that the numbers will keep him in the winners seat, Suozzi will be pushing forward to ensure that all votes are counted. A final tally of votes is expected in the next two weeks.

HICKSVILLE

Hicksville Senior Named Scholar Artist Kelly Ryan honored by Long Island Arts Alliance

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

L

egendary French artist Edgar Degas once said, “Painting is easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do.” Hicksville High School senior Kelly Ryan has mastered that part of Degas’ equation enough to get her named a Scholar Artist of the 2020-21 school year by the Long Island Arts Alliance. She is one of 20 students to be honored and one of four receiving an award in the visual arts category. A fan of Paul Cézanne and Claude Monet, Ryan’s artistic gifts have been cultivated since childhood, and her parents and two brothers have always been behind her.

“I’ve always loved coloring, even as a really small child,” she recalled.

“Growing up, it’s always been a part of my life that I enjoy. And while I [embrace] all kinds of art, I definitely love oil painting.”

Currently in her school’s AP art program, Ryan stayed busy throughout the end of the pandemic-affected

spring semester and the subsequent summer months. Her passion and work ethic are a big part of what impresses her art teacher/ advisor Craig Mateyunas. It’s a large reason why Kelly Ryan she was nom(Photo courtesy of inated for this the Hicksville School District) current award, given the fact that districts can nominate students who represent a high level of artist excellence and have an unweighted grade point average of 90 or above to be selected as a Scholar Artist. Nominated students are then asked to submit a portfolio of work and an essay to be reviewed by a panel before being selected.

Mateyunas wasn’t surprised to see his prize student get selected.

“Kelly is in AP this year and was

“Cluttered Self” (30” x 24”/Media: Acrylic Paint) really rolling out projects over the summer as part of the program” he said. “But home or not, she works exceptionally hard and always pushes herself to try, whether it’s working with new material or going outside of her comfort zone, doing landscapes, portraits and still lifes. She has a fine eye for looking at all kinds of stuff and is able to paint what she sees in her mind. Paint seems to work with her very well. She’s very good, patient and

diligent.”

For Ryan’s senior year, the creative flow hasn’t stopped, nor have the accolades. She was recently one of 65 Nassau County high school students chosen for the 2020 Nassau County High School Student Juried Exhibit and Competition hosted by The Art Guild.

Participants had to submit original artwork from the past two years to The Art Guild to be considered for the competition and exhibition. Joining Ryan were classmates Stephanie Lopez, Isabella Weber, Cailin Hoang and Aleena Abraham. Moving on to college, Ryan’s wish list includes SUNY Oswego, Pratt Institute and Adelphi University. Her long-range career goal is to become and illustrator/designer.

The Hicksville native gives full credit to her community for helping flesh out her creative muse.

“I’ve always loved going to Hicksville,” Ryan said. “All my teachers and classes have been very helpful. I’ve learned so much through my art classes, especially figuring out my skills.”

MASSAPEQUA School News

Kindergartners Explore The Alphabet Outdoors

L

earning letters, sounds and sight words is a fundamental part of school for all kindergartners, and this year the youngest learners in the Massapequa School District are getting to do so outside.

As part of the district’s reopening plan during the COVID-19 pandemic, outdoor lessons are strongly encouraged on nice days and kindergarten teachers have been taking advantage of the mostly sunny and warm weather throughout September and October. Not only do the students get a change of scenery, they also get some fresh air and movement as they travel from their classroom to an outdoor learning area.

Unqua Elementary School kindergarten teacher Kim Doherty said her students enjoy coming outside for Fundations, which is the early literacy program that the district uses. Each child brings a small dryerase board and marker to practice writing lowercase and uppercase letters.

Patricia Brackman, a kindergarten teacher at Lockhart Elementary School, uses the area adjacent to the playground for Fundations lessons. Her students bring out towels and find places to work on their letters and sounds while practicing social distancing. They help identify words that start with the letter of the day.

Farmingdale School District fifth grader becomes a published author There’s no shortage of talented students in the Farmingdale School District. Case in point: Katerina Bernius, a 10-year-old Albany Avenue fifth grader, is now a published author.

“It’s wonderful to hear such great news for a member of the Farmingdale School District,” stated Superintendent Paul Defendini. “We are all looking forward to closely watching Katerina’s academic career here in Farmingdale and see all the wonderful things she will assuredly accomplish.”

Bernius’ book, The Magical Flower, tells the story of three best friends who planted flowers in their garden. To their excitement and awe, one of them begins to glow—a magical flower. The book is the story of these three friends and their journey through the winter as they wait for their magical flower to appear once more in the spring.

Bernius submitted The Magical Flower to Mascot Books for review for publication several months ago.

The illustrations for the children’s book were done by Ingrid Lefebvre.

The Magical Flower was released last month. The book is currently available on Mascot Books.

Floral Park’s Outdoor Dining Approved Through Early December FLORAL PARK

BY ANTHONY MURRAY

A

t last week’s village board meeting, the board approved a resolution to extend outdoor dining for village restaurants through Sunday, Dec. 6 as well as authorize the suspension of collecting restaurant license fees until Jan. 1, 2021.

The extension of outdoor dining for local restaurants will be welcomed by restaurant owners in the village who have been crushed by the coronavirus pandemic and its occupancy restrictions.

Starting this summer, some of the parking lots within the village have been converted into dining spots allowing businesses like Jameson’s, Uptown Taco, Pita Park and Swing The Teapot to expand their services. The Floral Park Diner has managed to use some of its sidewalk space to increase customer capacity as well.

And since the holidays are fast approaching, the village board is also preparing for its usual holiday activities. The board approved a motion

Mass on Friday, Dec. 25 at noon in Memorial Park subject to CDC and Department of Health guidelines.

Centennial Gardens is popular now more than ever due to people wanting to be outside more due to the pandemic. According to trustee Lynn Pombonyo, Centennial Gardens continues to be a highly popular destination for all of those, young and older, who love the outdoors. Recently, more than 430 visitors came into the Gardens. That number easily topped 500 when you count all of those strolling on the outside brick path, spending time taking all in on the benches, or engaging in enjoyable outdoor exercise on the outer lawns. Pombonyo urged residents to visit the Gardens for a breathtaking experience watching nature change through the seasons.

The next village board meeting will be on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. at village hall.

MINEOLA

O

Mineola Fire Department Ex-Captain Recognized At Firematic Awards

n National First Responders Day, the Town of Hempstead hosted its 2020 Firematic Service Awards ceremony. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this was the first-ever drive-through Firematic Awards ceremony, which was held outdoors at Town Park Point Lookout.

Over a dozen fire departments were represented with several honorees, with one of them being Mineola Fire Department’s ex-captain Carlo Nunziata.

Nunziata has been involved with the Mineola Fire Department for more than 40 years. He spent three years in the Mineola Junior Fire Department program learning about the important role first responders serve in our community. He initially answered the call to service by becoming certified as an emergency medical technician (EMT) in 1979 and began volunteering with the Mineola Volunteer Ambulance Corps.

In 1981, Nunziata sought membership in Mineola FD Truck Two, but was placed on a waiting list.

Rather than wait for an opening, he joined Engine Company Three and started his probationary training at the Elm Place Firehouse. This station is located alongside the Mineola Volunteer Ambulance Corps, where he was already volunteering. In 1984, Nunziata transferred into Truck Company Two. During his 35 years of dedicated service in Truck Two he rose through the ranks of “The Workhorse Company,” serving as lieutenant for four years before taking the helm as captain from 2009-11.

Undoubtedly, Nunziata’s experience with both the fire and ambulance services influenced his career choice. He joined the NYC EMS in 1981. He served as an EMT in Queens and Brooklyn before taking an assignment on the Mobile Emergency Response Vehicle (MERV). This specialized vehicle is deployed to mass casualty incidents to provide triage to multiple aided and has the capacity to transport up to six patients. In 1996, Nunziata was promoted to lieutenant and worked in the field supervising emergency incidents from aided cases to car accidents to major fires. In 2002, he came off the road and began his tenure as a supervisor in the Emergency Medical Dispatch center. In this capacity he would coordinate the intake of 911 calls and manage the dispatch of EMS resources to these calls for service. Nunziata retired from FDNY EMS in December of 2017.

Nunziata is one of a handful of volunteers who carried two pagers. Even as he answered the fire calls, he remained active in the Mineola Volunteer Ambulance Corps. Nunziata rose through the ranks to attain the ranks of third assistant, second assistant and first assistant chief. He was able to manage membership in these two volunteer emergency service organizations and that was just in his “off” time.

Throughout his years in service to the community Nunziata has remained a dedicated family man.

He and his wife Barbara raised their three children Carl Thomas, Michelle Lauren and Joseph Anthony in their Mineola home. Carl T. and Joseph would

go on to follow in their father’s footsteps as they joined Truck Two. Carl Thomas would also serve as captain of Truck Two before he accepted a career firefighter position with the Prince William County Virginia Fire Rescue. Joseph continues to ride the rig along with his father. Service is a common thread in the Nunziata family. Barbara serves as a nurse at NYU-Winthrop and Michelle works in the veterinary care field.

Nunziata continues to exemplify what it means to be a volunteer firefighter. He has consistently sought out additional training and worked to sharpen his skills as a firefighter. During his tenure he has completed specialized training including the assistant fire inspectors course, confined space rescue, trench rescue and hazardous materials operations. He regularly attends trainings and works with the newer members to pass on his knowledge. When the run comes in at 3 a.m. you can count on Nunziata to walk into the firehouse, gear up and get ready to go.

The Mineola Fire Department proudly presents ex-Captain Nunziata as their 2020 recipient of the Town of Hempstead Firematic Service Award.

A Thanksgiving Appeal The Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club is seeking support for the Alford family’s annual Thanksgiving Day project, a Thanksgiving Day delivery program in which John and Melinda Alford and their family provide the fixings for 30 local families to make their own holiday meal; plus delivering 200 fully prepared hot dinners to homebound senior citizens on Thanksgiving Day. This year, due to the coronavirus, the Alfords need to restructure how this is done to make sure that everyone involved is safe.

This will be the 25th year the Alford family has organized and coordinated this project. Done in their home since 2001, the first five years everything was executed through J.B.’s Pub, a Mineola restaurant owned by the Alfords.

Melinda and John report that they are in need of frozen turkeys for the families and non-carbonated beverages for the meals. They kindly ask that no glass bottles, water, juice boxes and soda be donated.

“We are in need of large bottles for the families,”

Melinda said. “No individual bottles [or] cans to accompany the hot meals. Donations may be dropped off at our home at 35 Maxwell Rd. in Garden City. Please feel free to call us to arrange a convenient drop off time at 516-746-8331.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept homemade desserts or baked goods. We will be purchasing individually wrapped baked goods and will be purchasing the turkey cooked and sliced from a local market. Everything needed will be provided to prepare complete meals. We will be grateful for any financial donations as well.”

The Alfords understand that this may be a year when many folks may not be able to help them.

“We also know that it is a year when many more are in need than ever before,” they said.

“Please consider helping us with this wonderful project in any way you can. Again, please contact us at 516-746-8331 with any questions.”

The Alfords are quick to thank everyone for their support throughout the years.

Mineola-Garden City Rotary Is On Board The Alford family’s Thanksgiving Day project has been one of the services the MineolaGarden City Rotary Club has supported throughout many years.

In 2005, our club had honored Melinda, John and the Alford family with its coveted

“Community Service Award.”

In this year of special need, our club joins with the many individuals and organizations whose contributions will hopefully make Thanksgiving 2020 its typical tremendous success.

Letter To Garden City Residents About Fire Safety

GARDEN CITY

W

e are aware there are numerous rumors, incomplete facts and incorrect statements being circulated by a few in the village about the recent home fire on Hilton Avenue. We provide the information below (this material was originally written in response to a letter of inquiry from a resident) to our residents, so they have accurate information and to ensure everyone that our volunteer firefighter force of almost 100 members not only responded quickly, but also strongly and in a timely manner.

The information in this letter is presented with the assistance of the fire department chiefs.

Let us first provide information of the 911 System and how emergencies such as fires get reported and responded to— these facts are not Garden City specific.

A call to 911 is received by the Nassau County Police Department (NCPD). An emergency call is routed

by NCPD to the appropriate agency. In this case, a reported fire, the call is then routed to what is called Nassau County Fire Communications (FireCom).

Nassau County FireCom then intakes the information and processes it out to the local fire department and because Garden City and its surrounding villages all rely upon each other (called Mutual Aid), if the facts of the event warrant, other departments are also contacted to respond. If additional resources are required, this request is made at the discretion of the Garden City incident commander. The process of routing 911 calls through Nassau County FireCom is not new. The use of Firecom was instituted several years ago and has demonstrably decreased delays in response time.

In Garden City, every member of the force carries a “pager/beeper” type device. The alarm call from FireCom is processed not just to the central communications system in the three Garden City firehouses but to each pager/beeper. The nature and location of the emergency is broadcasted twice to members.

Calls into the Nassau County 911 System, FireCom and out to the various local agencies such as our fire department are all recorded and time stamped. This provides a true and accurate record.

Here are a few specifics about the Hilton Avenue call and response.

The call from the Hilton Avenue resident into the 911 system was received

at 12:54 a.m. The 911 dispatcher immediately transferred the call to Nassau County Fire Communications.

FireCom then sent the alarm out to the Garden City Fire Department (and also Mineola Fire Department as part of the Mutual Aid procedure) at 12:55 a.m.

At the time the alarm came into the Garden City Fire Department, there were four firefighters, including our 1st assistant chief, actually present in the Village Hall fire station.

The assistant chief was the first to respond, at 12:56 a.m. The assistant chief was on scene at the house at 12:57 a.m. Again, these times are all recorded.

Our 3rd assistant chief responded at 12:57 a.m. and was on scene at 12:59 a.m. He was in the yard of the house with our 1st assistant chief.

Department Chief Thomas Strysko responded at 12:57 a.m. and was on scene at 1 a.m. He was in front of the house acting as the incident commander.

Engine 145, with four firefighters, responded from fire headquarters at 1:00:23 a.m. This is the time it left the firehouse, which is about 300 yards away from the Hilton Avenue home.

The homeowner had indeed appeared at the firehouse while Engine 145 was getting ready to roll and the firemen were getting suited up.

Engine 145 has 750 gallons of water on board. Hose lines were stretched and quickly went into operation with water on the fire. The closest fire hydrant is around the corner on Ninth Street, approximately 125 yards away.

Ladder 147, Engine 142, Engine 143 and Ladder 144 also responded. In addition, 15 mutual aid fire departments also responded as well as other agencies, ambulances and police.

Clearly as the times indicate in the photo above, there was no 15- or

20-minute delay before Garden City responded to the fire. We had three chiefs at the home within five minutes (the first within two minutes) and the first fire engine on scene within six minutes of dispatch. Their first priority was to make sure no one was in the home.

We strongly dispute any suggestion that having several paid firefighters would have helped put the fire out any faster. Whether a firefighter is paid or volunteer, they need to get equipment on, get to a scene and get hose unloaded and connected to a water source.

Our volunteers are highly trained and qualified. Let there be no doubt, this invalid assertion about a paid force is being driven in part by a disgruntled former paid firefighter who was terminated. When we had a paid contingent, there would have been at most only two paid men on duty, and neither would have been able to get a hose on the fire or get to the scene any quicker.

Furthermore, statements that personnel from the Mineola Fire Department or somewhere else were at the scene before Garden City firefighters are patently false.

The situation presented to the department with the Hilton Avenue fire involved a large house with heavy

fire engulfing the entire front porch extending into the first and second floors. The house was engaged in flames as soon as the 1st chief arrived.

This indicates that the fire had started many minutes before the call to 911.

The age of the house and balloon frame-type construction on the front section of the house created a chimney effect for the fire to increase rapidly and move upwards. Regardless of the amount of members present at the scene, hose lines had to be stretched to the fire, charged with water and secured to a positive water source (the hydrant on Ninth Street), all which unfortunately takes time.

On a side note, below is some additional general information about the department and its operations.

Calls to 516-742-3300 and 516-7462800 go directly to Nassau County Fire Communications, which is a central Nassau County agency for many fire departments in Nassau County. A call to 911 goes to the Nassau County Police Department 911 call center first and is transferred to the appropriate agency.

While the village firehouses are not manned 24/7, volunteer firefighters are routinely at the firehouses throughout the day and night. As we stated above, we had several firefighters at fire headquarters at the very moment the alarm signal came in from FireCom. Upon a report of an alarm, members respond to their closest firehouse and respond on the apparatus. For example, a firefighter who lives on Tullamore Road and who is home at the time of an alarm would proceed to the firehouse on Edgemere Road.

Chiefs have their own vehicles and respond directly to the scene.

Village Aims To Increase Recycling Compliance

WESTBURY

BY FRANK RIZZO

T

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

he Village of Westbury sent out a flier recently that reminded residents that recycling is mandatory.

At the October meeting of the Board of Trustees, Mayor Peter Cavallaro stated that the recycling compliance rate is about 50 to 52 percent.

“We’re going to do some more information sharing on the need to recycle and to renergize that aspect of our sanitation services,” the mayor said.

The flier emphasizes that plastics, bottles and cans should be in the bin, while mixed papers must be separated and bundled. “If you are in doubt, throw it out” advises the flier.

Going back to the participation rate, Cavallaro noted that “the village has always been reluctant to take enforcement actions. We have 4,200 residential parcels, so if you have 2,100 that are not participating, it’s very hard for us as an enforcement matter to try to do that. It’s very hard to penalize people even though it is mandatory.”

Cavallaro admitted that even he has trouble at times deciding whether

The Village of Westbury hopes to get more residents to take part in mandatory recycling. (anncapapictures | Pixabay) something is recyclable.

“If we try to dispose of a recycling load that has too many variances from what the standards are, they’ll be rejected, and the village has to dispose of that as rubbish instead of recycling,” he observed. “There are different rates that we pay.”

The village recently entered into a

five-year solid waste pickup contract with Jamaica Ash, based in Westbury.

It requires the village’s public works department to pick up refuse and recyclables and deliver them to the company’s facility Cavallaro stated that the global recyclable market has undergone a big change over the past year or

two, with a collapse in demand for plastics and glass.

“We used to dispose of bottles and glass at no cost to the village because they were able to sell that stuff in China,” he said. “China doesn’t buy that material anymore, so it costs us now to dispose of bottles and glass.”

Regarding the solid waste companies, the mayor observed, “To be honest with you, they don’t want to do recycling. They do it as a component of their garbage contract because they know they have to. If you put out a request for proposal just for recycling, you might not get a response.”

The mayor noted that recycling costs went from $80,000 to $165,000 per year under the new contract.

Cavallaro hoped that a period of informing residents about recycling obligations will raise the participation rate, otherwise, “we might have to resort to taking more enforcement actions to make sure people are complying.”

Blessing Of Pets Becomes A Tradition

BY FRANK RIZZO

Stanger explained. “I blessed the pets—there is a blessing for animals.

It comes from rabbis, and it goes back to the ancient period.”

The rabbi said it in Hebrew, then translated it: “Blessed are you, Lord God, for creatures such as this in this world.”

He also bestowed the pets with Hebrew names, laid his hand on them and gave them a treat. All the pets were dogs, with a single exception—the rabbi brought his

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

The blessing of animals may have started with St. Francis of Assisi, but it seems to have been taken up by other faiths.

“We do it almost every year the weekend following the reading of the story of Noah,” said Rabbi Michael Stanger of the Old Westbury Hebrew Congregation. “In Jewish tradition, you go through a section of the Torah every week. And yesterday, on the shabbat, we read the story of Noah. It’s a custom in a lot of synagogues to do the blessings of pets that weekend.”

Though somewhat related to the stories of St. Francis and his love of animals, the rabbi said the practice was more of a popular culture thing.

In a non-pandemic year, he said, about 25 people stopped by.

Concerned with COVID, the rabbi was uncertain about holding it this

cat, “Archie,” to the ritual.

“It was a nice day, so some people stopped and gathered in the grassy areas,” said Stanger, who has led the conservative congregation since 2006.

“Judaism does have a direct connection with animals,” he summed up. “And how we treat animals can be a reflection of how we treat one another. And how we treat one another can be a reflection of how we treat God.”

St. Brigid’s Church Hosts Blood Drive St. Brigid’s Roman Catholic Church in Westbury will hold a blood drive on Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 18-19, between 3 and 9 p.m.

District Improvements Continue During COVID-19

hen the pandemic first struck the region this past March, many long-planned, district-wide improvement projects were put on hold as the administration turned its attention to making sure that all the buildings in the Roslyn School District would be ready for in-class learning.

“In the spring, everything just stopped,” said Thomas Szajkowski, assistant to the superintendent for Administration and Special Projects for the Roslyn School District.

“Materials were really hard to come by and shipping was difficult because medical supplies were understandably given priority. Fortunately during the summer, we were able to resume and tackle an abundance of projects.”

The purpose of Roslyn School District’s Facilities Department is to ensure a healthy and safe environment for all students, faculty and staff members. The department is responsible for all district capital projects, long-term planning, utility services, compliance and more. These past few months—in addition to socially distancing the desks in every classroom, creating divided hallways and placing COVID-19 signage guidance

throughout the district—the facilities staff began and resumed several key projects designed to enhance the school community.

“Despite all the challenges put in place by the pandemic, we were able to utilize our capital reserve—which was approved by Roslyn residents— and deliver as promised,” said Superintendent of Schools Allison Brown.

Roslyn High School In June, the girls locker room was demolished and abated to create a more modern, spacious environment.

The area is now ADA compliant, with a gray and white decor, LED lighting, team areas with bench seating, a freshly poured epoxy floor, a new

bathroom, more functional coaching offices and a new heating system.

The wrestling room, which doubles as a yoga studio, received new mats, a paint job, upgraded plumbing, a new rooftop heating unit and a new ceiling with dimmable lighting.

Roslyn Middle School Over the summer, work began on the installation of new doors and locks throughout the middle school.

All lock coring and pinning work was done in-house, saving the district a considerable amount of capital funds.

Elementary School The gym floors of all three primary schools were sanded, painted, and refinished. Colorful new playgrounds with rubber surfacing were installed

at both Harbor Hill and Heights. The field at Harbor Hill is nearly completed with enhanced drainage and sod installation scheduled for early November. Harbor Hill is currently receiving additional HVAC upgrades using in-house labor—another cost savings measure for the district.

“In addition to getting every one of our school buildings ready to open during a pandemic, the facilities department successfully undertook an outstanding number of projects,” said Superintendent Brown. “Each one provides a wonderful, new asset for our Roslyn students, staff and community to enjoy.”

GLEN COVE

The Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District Honors Veterans T his Veterans Day will mark the continuation of the Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District’s (BID) program “We Honor Our Veterans.”

The program was created so that active military and veterans have a clear indication as to which businesses offer a discount to those that are serving or have served in the U.S. military. Each participating business in the downtown area has a decal “We Honor Our Veterans Here” displayed, so that the service members and

veterans know to ask for the discounts that are offered.

When Glen Cove’s director of Veteran Affairs Tony Jimenez first contacted BID Director Patricia Holman about organizing a downtown-wide business discount she was eager to get started on the program.

“I am very grateful for all that sacrifice to serve and all who have served,” Holman said. “I am honored to present this program to our military and veterans with hope that they know they are always in our thoughts that we are supportive of their

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

EVERY CHILD DESERVES TECHNOLOGY Way back in the late ’70s, when most of us heard the term “The information superhighway” little could we imagine that this would signal the beginning of a totally new way of life in terms of learning; imparting and receiving information, and embracing the tools employed in this process such as desktop/laptop computers, tablets, smartphones and similar mini devices that are commonplace today.

Teachers are expected to

integrate this technology into the classroom, but the sad reality is that this is not always an equal opportunity endeavor since it is largely dependent on available resources for such provisions.

The end result is that we risk creating a generation of students ill-prepared for a digital future.

A closer look at this situation today, given the current pandemic and its effect on students and families, reveal that children are expected to have internet access and a

computer for online learning as schools remain open to reduced capacity and students and teachers are home-based some of the time.

Technology helps to level the playing field since regardless of where in the world one resides, even in the poorest and most remote areas having such basic necessities every child has the opportunity to connect, learn and participate in a global society in ways that were once impossible.

In the real-world

circumstance, one must contend with the fact that there is still a huge gap between how much access rich and poor children have to technology for online learning; the digital divide. This contributes to the achievement gap between students based on their economic status and is tantamount to one set of students being prepared to be all that they can be and another for lesser stations in life or just the bare necessities.

sewing, needlepoint and embroidery. She crafted clothing for Rachel’s mother and later, for Rachel and her sister. Florence also made Halloween costumes, which delighted both the girls and those who witnessed her handiwork.

Because Rachel showed more of an interest in crafting then her sister did, Florence patiently instructed her on every visit. Not only did Florence instruct, but she lovingly took Rachel’s hand

to guide it around the needle or hook to ensure that Rachel learned the crafts properly.

Rachel remarked, “My grandmother had so much patience.”

When her grandmother passed away four years ago, Rachel inherited her grandmother’s antique black floral Singer sewing machine, which was kept in pristine condition.

“I remember playing with it when I was a little girl,” Rachel mused. “I hadn’t seen it in over 10 years, so when my mom gave it to me, I was so happy. I couldn’t believe how beautifully it had been kept.

It’s my intention to keep it in the family and pass it down to my children one day.”

Rachel remarked that embroidery is one of those arts that has been lost over the years, especially when she mentions it to her friends.

“Unless I show them a picture, I don’t think they can really understand what the craft really is about.” Depending on how intricate the design, each handcrafted hoop could take anywhere from a few hours to several days, although on average it takes Rachel about six hours to complete a piece without stopping.

One of Rachel’s favorite parts of designing a hoop for a customer is the reaction she gets when someone receives one of her beautiful pieces of artwork. “I love to see the designs as they are

Handcrafted Embroidery Items

By Hicksville High School Alum Hand-crafted items hold a special appeal to folks.

There is something magical about creating something from a ball of yarn or a spool of thread. Like Spongebob Squarepants always said about sweaters knitted by his grandma, “There’s love in every stitch.”

This simple truth applies easily to Rachel D’Ambra, a Hicksville High School alum and current student at Molloy College, whose side hustle of embroidery has brought her multiple benefits. Aside from the monetary compensation, embroidery offers Rachel a way to relax, especially as she enters her second year in a dual degree program to become a Registered Nurse Practitioner in the age of COVID. This hard-working woman is currently earning her second degree; she will receive her bachelor’s in nursing in August 2021 and will continue her education to obtain her master’s degree in nursing as an adult nurse practitioner. Rachel also holds a B.S. in Health Sciences, which she obtained from Stony Brook University in 2017.

Rachel learned at a young age the lost art of embroidery from her grandmother, who was an avid crafter. Rachel’s grandmother Florence, who visited the family from New Jersey, was taught by her own mother in the art of crocheting, knitting,

created, whether I create it or it is created by the customer.

I really enjoy watching the piece come together, but the best part is the reaction to the hoop, the look on the customer’s face when they say, ‘This is exactly what I was looking for. This will mean so much.’” At the end of the day, it is all about making others happy for Rachel.

The biggest hit that Rachel’s Instagram page has seen at present is her Keepsake Wedding Hoop.

“I follow a lot of embroidery pages on Instagram,” she remarked. “It’s helping me to find my own niche.” Although she cannot see herself doing embroidered hoops full-time because of her desire to become a nurse practitioner, she mentioned that she will continue to fulfill orders.

“Embroidery helps me to relax, especially with all the studying that I do for school.

I will commit 100 percent to do what is needed for timely order fulfillment while still practicing nursing.”

Tradition has always been an important part of Rachel’s life, especially as it relates to embroidery. “My grandmother used to needlepoint stockings by Bucilla. It’s an old-style needlepoint stocking from the 1990s and Grandma made one for my grandfather, for my mom, for my sister, for

The Miracle Of Baby Violet It was the middle of December in 2019 when I got a call from my brother. There was a problem. My niece, who was pregnant with the family’s first great-grandchild, was in the hospital.

The doctors at Good Samaritan Hospital decided the only way to save the baby was to take her via caesarian immediately. At this point in her pregnancy, the baby was barely 25 weeks old. Her due date was sometime in late March 2020.

Baby Violet entered this world kicking and screaming 15 weeks early, weighing in at just 14.8 ounces. That’s less than a plastic bottle of water.

At only 10.5 inches from stem to stern, that’s about the size of an ear of corn.

Due to all the uncertainty, we were robbed of celebrating Violet’s birth. No congratulatory phone calls were inundating the proud grandparents. Facebook wasn’t lit up with photos of our beautiful new family member smiling or yawning in her little birth cap and wrapping. My brother wasn’t handing out cigars.

The month of September is designated as “NICU Awareness Month.” Violet was the second smallest baby they ever cared for at the Good Sam NICU, a rare “micro-preemie.”

Is The Soul Of America Slipping Away?

Ever since I have been working remotely from home, I take short lunchtime walks along one of my regular neighborhood routes. It is about a 15- to 20-minute walk; nothing too exciting, just a large rectangle of blocks, except for a few short, elevated bridges overlooking the canal waters of Long Beach.

The longest stretch of the walk covers the full length of a local kindergarten to grade 5 elementary school. The property includes a large asphalt-surface playground for kids in the upper grades, then the red brick school building itself and finally, a smaller playground specially designed for younger children.

The day that I wrote this was the first time I walked past the schoolyard with

witnessing the scene felt to me like I had traveled to another time and place, maybe sometime the past when there was something seriously wrong.

The kids seemed carefree, but they were wearing surgical masks of various colors and designs. I overheard one of them say to another, “Everything is harder in masks.”

On the very same day, just For some reason that I could a few hours earlier, I watched not pin down at that moment, a 30-second video clip on

social media of a group of adults marching up and down the aisles in a Target store in Florida. The scene seemed farcical.

The adults were acting as if they were wartime liberators, waving masks in their hands and, with smirks on their faces and in their voices, loudly imploring the store’s customers to: “Take your masks off!

Take them off! We’re not going to take it anymore!”

As the children cooperatively followed the rules that the school implemented in order to reopen and optimize safety, the entitled grownups in the Target store arrogantly defied health and safety guidelines in a faux protest that will likely result in advancing the spread of a highly infectious disease.

So what was it that made me so sad? Did observing the kids running around in masks evoke their innate vulnerability in me? Or was it the image of a group of adults so selfishly celebrating their emancipation from and abdication of responsibility as citizens to protect one another?

I do not know if was either.

Maybe it was the realization of all that has been lost in our deeply divided nation—a loss of innocence and a loss of common decency.

The soul of America is dissipating, slipping from our grasp and we seem to lack the collective will to hold on.

Veteran Affairs VFW-Supported Mental Health Bill Becomes Law The VFW supported version of S. 785, the Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act of 2019, was recently signed into law. This law supports the VA as it continues to make improvements to veterans’ mental health care by covering a strategic plan for veterans transitioning from active duty, pilot programs integrating alternative therapies, establishing a VA and Department of Defense (DOD) clinical provider treatment toolkit, improving care and services for women veterans and expanding the Mental Health medical workforce.

National Suicide Hotline Bill Becomes Law Recently, S. 2661, the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act of 2020 was signed into law. This legislation designates 9.8.8 as the telephone number for the National Suicide Prevention and mental health crisis hotline. The existing hotline, which can be reached

Monument Honoring Women In The Military Unveiled The Washington, D.C. area’s first monument to honor women in the military was recently unveiled at the Women in Military Service

for American Memorial in Arlington, VA. The Pledge, sculpted by Susan Bahary, is a bronze statue of a kneeling service woman in full combat gear, locking eyes with her working military dog, meant to honor the promise of loyalty made between a soldier and their combat dog in faithful allegiance to our country.

Following the unveiling, Sgt. Briany Gavit stated, “I’ve been a dog handler for four years now and to see a female statue for the first time, it feels great…She could be any one of us, in any rank of military and it’s so Significant.”

Update To Tricare Select Enrollment Fee To Start Jan. 1 The DOD announced that TRICARE Select Group A Retirees will be required to pay an enrollment fee beginning Jan. 1. Congress directed the Defense Health Agency in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 to implement TRICARE Select retiree enrollment fees, but delayed the implementation. Group A is comprised of retirees and their family members if the sponsor’s initial enlistment

or appointment occurred before Jan. 1, 2018. The enrollment fee is waved for medically retired individuals and their family members and for survivors of active-duty deaths. During TRICARE Open Season, which will run from Nov. 9 to Dec. 14, beneficiaries must set up an allotment with their regional contractors for the enrollment fee to begin on Jan. 1, 2021.

Beneficiaries who do not set up their allotment by the deadline will be unenrolled due to nonpayment. These individuals would have previously had 90 days from the termination date to request reinstatement. However, recently the Defense Health Agency has agreed to extend the reinstatement period to 180 days.

Similarities:

The seasonal flu and COVID-19 do share some overlapping symptoms, so people may need to be tested to confirm a proper diagnosis. They both cause respiratory illness, which presents as a wide range of symptoms— from asymptomatic to a mild to severe

similar flu symptoms such as fever, fatigue, headaches and muscle or body aches. COVID-19 symptoms can also include shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, nausea and vomiting and additionally loss of taste and/or smell.

Those most at risk for the flu are children, pregnant women, elderly

and those with underlying medical conditions. For COVID-19, our current understanding is that individuals who are older in age underlying conditions, such as obesity, diabetes or hypertension, have increased the risk for the most severe infection. The CDC confirms that the virus that causes COVID-19 is more contagious than the seasonal flu, with emerging research showing “airborne” transmission is possible. This means that when a group is exposed to COVID-19, more of the exposed group is likely to get the disease compared to a similar group exposure to the flu virus.

Prevention:

In addition to good habits—such as washing your hands, covering your cough with your elbow, wearing a properly fitting mask and avoiding people who are already sick—getting a flu shot is the single most important thing people can do to prevent the flu.

A flu shot is relatively low cost and is often covered through employer-sponsored, individual and Medicare and Medicaid health plans as preventative care with little to no copay. Now is the best time to get your flu shot. Flu shots are available through primary care physicians, pharmacies, convenience care clinics and many other locations.

Visit cdc.gov/flu to search for a nearby care provider based on your zip code.

If you think you may be sick and need but don’t want to risk an in-person visit, there are a host of

resources available to get help. Most employers and health plans offer 24-hour telehealth providers who can help determine next best steps. If you are sick but aren’t sure if it is the flu or COVID-19 you can see your doctor through a telehealth visit without potentially exposing yourself and the doctor can help you decide if you need to be tested.

Each year, UnitedHealthcare works to educate members and the public about the importance of getting a flu shot. This year we are working harder than ever to help people understand the similarities and differences between the flu and COVID-19 as well as helping customers arrange ways to hold flu clinics or providing guidance to members on where and how they can get flu shots. We’re also using technology to forecast flu activity in metro areas across the U.S. in an effort to target additional outreach and resources throughout the 2020-2021 flu season and are actively reminding our health plan members to catch up on any missed routine vaccinations during the pandemic.

While 2020 has certainly been a challenging year thanks to COVID-19, proactive measures to prevent the flu can help us start 2021 on a more positive note.

Living With Epilepsy

How lifestyle changes help to live a normal life

F

or the majority of people living with epilepsy, a life free from seizures is an attainable goal.

While a single seizure in a month may be an improvement if that is less than the prior month, you still don’t have the level of independence and freedom from seizures to live comfortably.

On top of fear, anxiety and potential personal injury, that one event can prevent you from working, driving and even living on your own.

So, the question must be asked by both patient and doctor, “Have we done everything possible to make sure the seizures are optimally controlled?”

While some types of epilepsy may require surgery, anti-seizure medications control seizures in about 70 percent of people. Healthy habits practiced daily can also help. In tandem with a treatment plan customized to the individual’s needs, here are some every day steps to help reduce or even prevent the effects of epilepsy on daily life.

Medication Management: People are diagnosed with epilepsy, a disorder of the brain, when they have had two or more seizures. Roughly two

Dr. Fred Lado.

out of three epilepsy patients will have their seizures controlled on the first or second seizure medication they try. So identifying one that minimizes side effects is often the most important step.

The most common trigger for an epileptic seizure is missed doses. Get into a pattern. Use a pillbox and try to take your medication at the same time

every day. Set a phone alarm. If there is a large variation from one day to the next, patients may be under-medicated for substantial parts of the day.

Pay attention to when your seizures happen and, if it is consistently toward the end of your dose, tell your doctor.

This is when you are at greatest risk of having a breakthrough seizure, which means you may need to adjust medications.

Side effects vary greatly between medications, which means certain drugs might work slightly better than others based on an individual’s side effect profile. For example, if anxiety, irritability and depression are side effects of an anti-seizure medication, it should not be taken by someone with a history of those symptoms.

Lifestyle: Sleep: The single most important thing people can do is try to get the recommended hours of sleep each night. Lack of sleep is one of the most common triggers for seizures. Set yourself up for success. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every night.

Avoid alcohol or drugs to ensure that you get quality sleep. While many patients are able to have a few drinks without incident, some are exquisitely sensitive to it and any amount will cause a seizure the next day. Daily exercise of at least 20 minutes is also known to improve sleep quality.

Diet: While it does not directly impact seizure frequency, foods high in fiber and nutrients can help meliorate absorption of seizure medications and achieve the best control. Drink plenty of water and minimize foods high in sugar, sodium and anything processed.

Stress: Increased stress has been shown to increase seizure risk. Ease anxiety with mindfulness training, meditation or cognitive behavioral therapy. These methods are often more effective than trying new medication to manage anxiety.

Avoid Isolation: Support groups can help manage depression by better understanding the stresses you are enduring and how that impacts your seizures.

Self-management: Seizures are often a downstream consequence of an injured brain.

Avoiding brain injury altogether is going to reduce your risk.

Seizures typically happen in two main age ranges: the first two decades of life and in those age 50 and older. In children, injuries related to development and birth that are beyond anyone’s control, as well as falls resulting in head injury— called post-traumatic seizures. In the older age group, the culprit is wear and tear on the brain and stroke is a major contributor.

Maintaining a healthy blood pressure, cholesterol and overall cardiovascular health reduces the risk of aneurysms, hemorrhages and of strokes—and all of those are going to reduce your risk of seizures.

Any illness, infection or fever can lower the seizure threshold, leaving you more vulnerable.

Reducing risk of injury during a seizure: The best thing patients can do to reduce their risk of injury is to not miss doses and keep a consistent schedule.

If you live with somebody, educate them on what to expect. They should be comfortable with what a seizure looks like and how to react, understanding that the patient may be confused and will need reassurance afterward.

There are several types of seizures and it can sometimes be hard to determine which you are experiencing. For example, a non-convulsive seizure may cause you to seem confused or stare.

Convulsive seizures are characterized by involuntary movements and can force you to shake and fall.

While many seizures don’t require medical attention, you should call 911 if: • This is your first seizure • The seizure is a convulsion where the whole body shakes • It lasts longer than five minutes • You have another seizure soon after the first one • You get hurt during the seizure • You have a health condition like diabetes, heart disease or are pregnant Be attentive to your own experience, understand what your triggers are and develop a plan to address and control your seizures. This will help return you to a normal life and hopefully leave daily medications as your only reminder of this condition.

How COVID-19 Can Affect The Liver

T

he question always arises regarding COVID and the liver.

While COVID causes abnormal liver tests in more than half of infected patients, the vast majority have no long-term liver sequalae. What has affected the liver more is the modified behavior associated with the pandemic. Because of the pandemic, people are more isolated, exercising less and are spending more time at home. As people are not able to attend sporting events or concerts, are working from home or not working at all, and in general are stuck at home, there is little else to do, but eat and drink. The excess eating has led to weight gain in many people, the so-called COVID-19 pounds. In addition, alcohol consumption is up significantly across our communities.

The weight gain and increased alcohol intake has directly led to an increase in the diagnosis two common liver diseases, non-alcoholic liver disease and alcoholic liver disease.

The number of hospital admissions for alcohol-related complications has skyrocketed during the period of COVID, specifically from March to the present. This is truly concerning as the incidence of liver disease during

the pandemic has reached epidemic proportions and it is not related to the COVID virus itself.

Fatty liver is exactly as it sounds.

When people gain weight, fat gets deposited into the liver. Over time, inflammation can occur and the fatty liver can progress to inflammation, fibrosis and eventually cirrhosis, with a very high risk of liver cancer. The treatment of fatty liver is diet and exercise with weight loss, but it takes much longer to get rid of a fatty liver than it does to develop one. With the inactivity and weight gain associated with the current pandemic, fatty liver in our area is on the rise. Hopefully, people will recognize this risk and start a program of exercise and weight loss.

The increased alcohol intake seen during the pandemic is perhaps more

Main Street Farmingdale enhancement begins (Photo courtesy of Marketing Masters NY)

Infrastructure improvements are underway in the Village of Farmingdale.

Work has started on new curbs, handicap ramps and crosswalks in the access driveways leading to parking lots 3 and 4 and will be installed on Main Street from Prospect Street to South Front Street. The project is being done in phases from Prospect Street North on the east side of Main Street to South Front Street, then south from South Front Street to Prospect Street on the West Side, and will be done in sections. Parking and traffic lane patterns are altered during the construction so please exercise caution. This project will be followed by complete repaving of Main Street from Grant Street to South Front Street. The two projects are funded by agreements between the county and village and they will be paid for by Nassau County, without any expense to village taxpayers. Both projects are estimated to be completed in early to mid-November.

According to Jason Schultz of Farmingdale’s Architect Firm; Savik and Murray, “We are doing mainly curb and handicap ramp improvements. We are also doing brick repair and tripping hazard repair as we work, whatever we find that needs to be addressed. The project should take a couple more weeks depending on the weather.”

To celebrate the return of in-person instruction for all students at Massapequa High School, Oct. 19 to 23 marked Spirit Week with a variety of themed dress-up days.

The week kicked off with Proud to Be an American day featuring red, white and blue attire. That was followed by Twin Tuesday in which students and staff were encouraged to dress up like a friend. “Orange” You Glad We are Back day on Oct. 21 coincided with the national Unity Day campaign which promotes acceptance, kindness and celebrating each other’s differences.

Thursday’s theme was tie-dye, and also was senior shirt day for the Class of 2021. Some seniors celebrated both by making custom tie-dye senior shirts. The week closed out with Chiefs Day on Friday in which everyone was asked to wear blue and gold.

The Spirit Week themes were selected by senior class officers but participation was open to the entire school. The officers met during video conferences facilitated by senior class adviser Nicole Zappulla.

After six weeks of a hybrid learning model, the high school returned to in-person instruction for all students five days a week on Oct. 19. Numerous health and safety protocols in place

“The class finally feels like it’s one again,” senior class President Jack Devenish said. “Having the excitement of finally being back together, we’re hopeful we can be here for the rest of the school year.”

Katelyn Stealey said she received a lot of positive feedback from her peers that the theme days were fun and unique. Kaitlyn Brien noted that with no sports at the moment, spirit week was a way to bring everyone together.

“It’s something we were all able to do as a school,” Stealey said.

COSMETIC SURGERY TODAY

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

resulted in proven patient satisfaction.

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

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

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

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

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

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

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

Truly Essential Our exclusive interview with Superstore’s Kaliko Kauahi

BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

Growing up on the small island of Kaua’i in Hawaii, actress Kaliko Kauahi always knew deep down inside that she wanted to become an actress. After deciding to take a leap of faith to pursue acting and leave the small island, Kauahi can now be seen playing the hilarious oddball Cloud 9 employee Sandra Kaluiokalani in NBC’s hit comedy Superstore, for the past five years. The show follows the lives and antics of a group of semi-dysfunctional employees who work at a fictional big-box store in St. Louis, MO.

LI LIW continued from previous page “I think I deep down always wanted to do it,” Kauahi said about becoming an actress. “We really didn’t have theater where I’m from. I actually come from a small island, but we would go to the movies, which was a few towns over when we could. My parents always took us when they had the chance. I think that love of entertainment started early. I come from a family of musicians, although I’m not very musical. I fake it, but I don’t actually play the ukulele. It’s always a challenge when it’s in the script for the show. So I just put it [becoming an actor] off for a long time because like I said I’m from a small island, so it’s not really practical to say that I’m going to be an actor. After a while, I thought it’s now or never and to give it a shot. I did it pretty much the traditional way I’d say. I took classes and trained, and then I started auditioning for small parts and got really lucky. Eventually years and years later, I actually ended up auditioning for Superstore. When I read the script, it was initially so funny, which truthfully doesn’t happen enough as you’d like. I was excited to read for it and got lucky enough to be in the second episode ever. They needed to expand this crazy Cloud 9 family and so I was there in the beginning and so happy to be here at this point.”

So how would Kauahi explain her character Sandra?

“In the audition breakdown description all it said was ‘sad sack plain Jane’ and that was it,” she said. “I was like ‘Perfect. I’m ready to audition sir.’ So everything that we have come to know about Sandra has come over five seasons. As much as it’s been a

Cloud 9 employees watch a firework show over the store. (Photos by NBC) revelation to the viewer watching it, it’s the same for me when I read the script and they introduce a new side to her personality that I didn’t know about and we just go with it.”

Superstore is currently in its sixth season and with the coronavirus pandemic still ongoing, it is a major part of the new season and also behind the scenes when it comes to filming.

“We certainly have to adjust to all the new rules and safety protocols, so in the beginning it was new and definitely a learning experience,” Kauahi explained. “At this point, we’re several episodes into our season and it has become very routine and I feel very safe. I do think it helps that we’re in season six where I’ve worked with all of these people including cast and crew for five years already, so we know each other and care about each

other deeply, and want to keep everyone healthy, safe and also employed.”

Even though the show is a comedy, it also deals with ongoing issues that occur in real life such as illegal immigration, workers rights and the as mentioned coronavirus pandemic.

“I feel so fortunate to be on this show, and the writers do such a great job of telling these issues, but never being too heavy-handed with it or preachy,” Kauahi said. “We’re always comedy, so our main goal is to tell a great story and hopefully make people laugh. The writers are able to incorporate things that are happening in our current life—even a pandemic—and try to find the humor in it and try to make it relatable.”

In the season six premiere, which aired in late October, the premiere took viewers through the first few

months of the pandemic and how the store and its employees were coping and working. The mad dash for toilet paper hoarding, the need for face masks for employees as well as the debate between what’s real and what isn’t about coronavirus were all featured.

So what can viewers expect to see for Sandra during the rest of the season?

“Well I think with my character and all the other characters, we’re just going to dive a little deeper into everyone’s story and their lives, and certainly with the backdrop of the pandemic and everything else going on,” Kauahi explained. “A much deeper glimpse into our personalities for sure, but she’s also a mom now.

So we get to see that side of her and how much of a mama bear she is. I

This season, viewers will see how Sandra copes with the pandemic.

think we’re going to look at her view on how she’s dealing with the pandemic.

This has brought up so many things and people have different comfort levels with it and how you relate to people and interact with them. So you’ll see how she’s dealing with that all.”

And with the cast being close on-screen, Kauahi said they are just as close off-screen as well, something she said she’s lucky to have.

“What I love is that I can say that and it’s not a lie,” she said. “We really are friends and we enjoy each other’s company. It has made working on this show even better than you could have imagined. We all happen to be working, but we have so much fun everyday with each other. It’s great that they get to mix it up and we get to work with different

characters each week. We get busy during our shooting schedule, so we don’t get to hangout as much outside and obviously now with COVID. We really do have the best time, I’m so lucky to work with the best people.”

Filming a sitcom such as Superstore that involves lots of improvisation, bloopers are bound to happen. Kauahi recalls one particular blooper that involved a beehive and some imaginary bees.

“There are so many,” she laughed. “It’s hard to narrow it down. I think it’s all the stuff that doesn’t make it, is funniest to us not to the audience. I had to shoot an episode early on where I get attacked by a bunch of bees. I knocked down this beehive and it explodes, so I had to pretend that I got stung by 100 bees, but obviously there were no bees. I had to do that over and over again on the back lot and fall on the gravel. It felt strange, but it’s sort of the moment that even crew members to this day will bring up. For them it was so much fun and I’m like, ‘Great. I’m glad

you enjoyed me flailing about and falling on the ground.’”

And with more than 100 episodes of Superstore, Kauahi said that her favorite episode to film was her character’s wedding episode.

“I never thought that Sandra would get married, so that was kind of a big event for her and for me,” Kauahi said. “I hadn’t thought about it that way and a friend of mine said that Sandra is getting married; that’s a big deal. They made a special dress for me and it was a big to do, but it was a lot of fun.”

So what is next for Kauahi for the remainder of the year and into next?

“Currently, this is the only show that I’m working on,” she said. “Typically during our breaks you try and do other projects, but this has been a strange year, so nothing is normal. I’m just so happy to be on this show and be continuing into 2021.”

You can watch Superstore Thursday nights at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.

She was affectionately known as Miss Bess first teaching and then being the Director of the First Presbyterian Nursery School for close to 30 years. She studied and put into practice early childhood education.

Her light and practical approach delighted children, educated parents and guided teachers in ways to engage and teach children creatively.

Miss Bess loved learning and delved into a wide range of subjects over her lifetime. She graduated from Wooster College in Ohio majoring in English and history. She loved reading and you would often find UPS showing up daily with books on any subject that caught her eye. She would read Newsday daily front to back including the sports sections, although her favorite part was the comics. Until an illness slowed her down in her mid 80’s she was very active in the First Presbyterian Church of Levittown functioning in various positions.

Likewise she belonged to the Recorder Society of Long Island since the 70’s when she discovered her love for music that went along with the medieval history that fascinated her. Another of her long-term eclectic interests was belonging to The Urantia Study Group of Long Island over the same time. She also enjoyed Adult Learning doing any variety of projects from embroidery, calligraphy, limericks, German, tap dancing and playing the mandolin.

You always knew she loved you even though she did not express is verbally. She was fiercely independent, quiet, tactful and observant with a great sense of humor. We all love her and will miss her very much as she

starts on this new journey of the next phase of her life.

Statement of Legislative Purpose: The Board of Trustees finds that maintenance and protection of natural terrain and vegetation on slopelands are essential for the protection of the general health, safety and welfare of the Village and its residents. The protection and preservation of these natural resources further safeguard our natural habitats, maintain the environmental balance, conserve the local watershed, and retain the current quality of life in the Village. Regulations and restrictions on the development of slopelands are needed in order to preserve and protect these fragile areas from the problems associated with their development. The restrictions and regulations herein are in relationship to the degree of steepness of sloped lands.

Protecting the most fragile of the slopelands, while allowing reasonable activity on those slopes of more suitable grades achieves a reasonable balance between competing interests.

LEGAL NOTICES Insuring that all development on slopelands is regulated in accordance with proper engineering and best construction management practices will minimize adverse impacts to the site, and to adjoining properties. Protecting and regulating development on slopelands will further benefit the Village and its residents by controlling water runoff, limiting the destruction of natural plant and tree growth, preventing unnecessary soil movements and lessen numerous other environmental concerns.

SECTION II. Amend Section 275-3 entitled “Word usage,” in part, to read as follows: § 275-3. Word usage.

SLOPELANDS - Regulated Slopelands shall consist of a moderate slope, steep slope, very steep slope, and extremely steep slopes, measured from the original grade in two foot intervals, perpendicular to the contours, covering an area of 750 square feet or greater with a minimum horizontal width, parallel to the contour of at least twenty-five (25) feet defined as follows: Moderate Slope - All areas of land with a topographical gradient equal to or greater than ten percent (10%), but less than fifteen percent (15%).

Steep Slope - All areas of land with a topographical gradient equal to or greater than fifteen percent (15%), but less than twenty-five percent (25%).

Very Steep Slope - All areas of land with a topographical gradient equal to or greater than twenty-five percent (25%), but less than thirty-five percent (35%).

Extremely Steep Slope - All areas of land with a topographical gradient equal to or greater than thirty-five percent (35%).

SECTION III. Add new Article XVII entitled, “Regulation of Slopelands,” to read as follows: ARTICLE XVII Regulation of Slopelands § 275-98. Construction On Slopelands.

A. No excavating, grading, filling, or paving of land, or the construction, alteration or addition to a structure or building shall be permitted on Moderate, Steep, Very Steep or Extremely Steep Slopelands, until the Building Inspector and Village Engineer have reviewed the plans for the proposed construction and determined that the following have been addressed and mitigated to their satisfaction: (1) The extent of disturbance to the slopeland is the minimum necessary; (2) Adequate storm water erosion control measures during and after construction have been installed and thereafter maintained; and (3) Adequate safeguards to protect the neighbor-

C. The slopelands review by the Building Inspector, Village Engineer and Planning Board shall be in addition to any other approval required by the Code. § 275-99. Slopelands Filing Requirements.

2. A plan showing all proposed construction and the disturbance of any portion of the site, including building and driveway locations, parking areas, landscaping, grading, drainage, utilities and other planned site uses or improvements contemplated by the Applicant.

3. Specific design and construction procedures to be followed which will mitigate the potential impact of the proposed site development on the slopelands both during and after construction.

This shall include, but not be limited to, location and type of construction and material to be used, erosion control measures, site restoration, plantings, and all other appropriate safeguards and precautions the Building Inspector and Village Engineer deems necessary.

4. The application fee and deposit, in an amount to be determined by resolution of the

Board of Trustees, shall be deposited with the Village Clerk. Application for work that had been started or completed without the required approval, the application fee shall be tripled. The Applicant shall be responsible for the reimbursement of Village expenses incurred, including but not limited to engineering, legal and hearing charges, as established by resolution of the Board of Trustees. § 275-100.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll come to a new understanding of the dichotomy of control. You realize there are times you thought you had it when you didn’t and times you’ve been clueless about the power at your fingertips. A more accurate assessment of your situation will increase your effectiveness this week as you strive for a win.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Take the long road and then you’ll develop a clearer sense of the journey. You’ll meet people, acquire skills, pursue curiosities and, ultimately, end up with a highly nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the route. Later, you will lead with wisdom because of the path you chose this week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have just the right words to describe what you need or express what you feel, and yet, because the very nature of language is abstract, the listener may come to an entirely different understanding of matters. Mutually acceptable and beneficial arrangements are possible though. Keep trying for it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t stick with a job automatically without thinking about why. Because you’re told to, because you don’t know what else to do, because it’s comfortable enough -- all of these reasons aren’t good enough. Hang in there when you can say that it’s making you better, richer, stronger, smarter or when it’s the right thing to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Virtuous behavior leads to the best outcomes, though not always because of the external circumstances that spring forth.

When acting in alignment with your values, you’ll have no regrets. The best outcome is strong integrity and knowing you did the right thing for you. If anything favorable comes of it, all the better.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). “You can’t build a reputation on what you’re going to do,” said Henry Ford. But what about when you’ve delivered on your vision many times over? Expectations have a way of ramping up, and you’ll feel that this week. It’s a pressure, a challenge, a thrill and a purpose that keeps you moving.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re starting to realize what’s not working for you. Staying in touch with an ever-changing world plants new appetites in you. Though you can’t adopt every trendy trait, method or item you’re interested in, there are a few things you know you want to do. You’ll break away from an outdated version of yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s the same with anything worth doing -- you know it by its difficulty level. For things to be easy, they must first be hard.

Is everyone doing it? Then you’ll take it as a cue, though only the baseline, from which you’ll advance. You’re interested in status, achievement and glamour, which, by definition, is held by but a few.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re holding something you’ve worked for, and you’re also not holding something you’ve worked for. It happens! Don’t wait for fulfillment; move forward and let it catch up. As Mark Twain said, “It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your mind is forever changed by new impressions. Once you sense a thing, you can’t un-sense it. You try and choose your experiences but sometimes they choose you instead. You’ll be better because of that this week. Expansive ideas push against the limits of thought and give the mind a different shape.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Communication styles vary widely, even with those who you’d usually consider to be in sync with. Ask for feedback so you can understand what people are taking away from your conversation.

You’ll be surprised at what you learn in this regard, and the information can help you level up your game.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). An octopus has nine brains and three hearts.

You can relate to this sea creature this week as you triple up on the amount of love and care you put into what you’re doing, but it doesn’t drain you one bit! Everything you extend your interest to seems to organize itself.

SPORTS Long Island Nets Involved In Community

T

he Long Island Nets were busy in the community recently, providing transportation for dozens of senior citizens to a local polling site, as well as donating school and cleaning supplies to support 400 students at two schools on Long Island.

On Thursday, Oct. 29, the Nets provided bus transportation for two senior citizen buildings in the Town of Hempstead.

The transportation, in partnership with Legislator Siela A Bynoe (D–Westbury), helped dozens of seniors get to the polls to cast their ballots during early voting.

Team mascot, Dale the Eagle, joined the group for the day and distributed Make It Count swag and giveaways to everyone in attendance.

The following day on Friday, Oct. 30, members of the Nets front office staff, along with Dale the Eagle, delivered a donation of school and cleaning supplies to Wheeler Avenue Elementary School in Valley Stream and Front Street Elementary School in Hempstead. Long Island Nets staff teamed up with Target for this donation and personally shopped for the supplies that will be distributed to more than 400 students.
