Youth Volunteers Grow Veggies For The Needy
S
ince 2010, Marvin Makofsky and his Plant-a-Row for the Hungry initiative have been encouraging gardening to help solve the Port Washington community’s local hunger issues. Large colorfully painted plant pots filled with vegetable seedlings are “adopted” each year and placed throughout the community during the growing season. Volunteers harvest the vegetables and bring them to Bayles Garden Center for delivery to Our Lady of Fatima and St. Peter’s Outreach Centers for distribution to needy families. Over the years, additional gardens began sprouting up (pun intended) in backyards, Helen Keller National Center, the Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society Dodge House, Port Washington Adult Activities Center, Growing Love Community Garden as well as other locations in Port Washington. This has resulted in a dramatic increase in the amount of organic produce grown and donated to needy families through Fatima’s and St. Peter’s outreach efforts.

Port leaders discuss how to keep the community safe amidst COVID BY CAROLINE RYAN

he Port Washington Union Free School District held a community forum on Nov. 24 to discuss how to mitigate the spread of the virus on Long Island amid the holiday season. The panel was held via Zoom and was moderated by Superintendent Dr. Michael Hynes, as well as several doctors and officials of the Port Washington community. “The objective of our panel discussion is to hone in on the significance and urgency of uniting as a community from all facets of life to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, understanding the importance of adhering to local and regional health guidelines and taking necessary precautions to ensure that schools remain open,” Hynes said. President of the Port Washington Board of Education Nora Johnson was first to speak. Johnson began by informing the community that the current protocols for learning in the Port school district have been working well thus far. “To date, we have not heard any reports of any transmissions in the school itself,” Johnson said. “We have all heard the numbers are going up in Port Washington. Our numbers seem to be higher than other neighboring districts in Nassau County. Regardless of why, we have to be more vigilant about protecting our loved ones from COVID.” Johnson stated that the district had several discussions regarding going fully virtual after Thanksgiving so that families who are being extra safe during the pandemic don’t have to worry about added risk from those who aren’t taking quite as many

One of the great positives in all of this is that we made a difference in our community this past spring and God willing we will do it again if we have to because we are Port Washington. We have come too far to give up hope now.” Dr. Nicole Germano, an outpatient pediatrician from Northwell Health gave a short message to residents, stating that Northwell has seen an increase in COVID-positive patients in the last several weeks. Germano stated that all positive cases that they Dr. Michael Hynes Superintendent of the Port Washington School District have seen in recent weeks are coming during the Nov. 24 community forum. from either family members that work (Photo source: Youtube @Port Washington UFSD) outside of the home, or from those that have recently attended parties or precautions.

Port Residents Write Children’s Book, Operation Achoo! BY MALLORY WILSON
portwashington@antonmediagroup.com
N
ow more than ever with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic it is imperative to teach children the importance of washing their hands. This isn’t always an easy task but Dr. Maggie Hymowitz, an ophthalmologist and a Port Washington mom to two elementary school-aged boys, and her father, Dr. Samuel Hymowitz, a retired periodontist and microbiologist, aim to help teach children about germs with their new book Operation Achoo! The book, published in September, follows a young boy named Zach who is going about his day-to-day life when he unknowingly encounters a group of germs whose mission is to get him sick. Throughout the book, children learn about germs, staying clean and hand washing. Along with the creative and colorful illustrations, the book also features a hand washing song, written by Dr. Hymowitz herself, which makes the task more fun. The
idea for this book can be credited to Dr. Maggie Hymowitz’s two young sons. “When my boys were younger, they were constantly getting sick,” Maggie Hymowitz said. “Coughs, runny noses and fevers became somewhat of a new normal. I was determined to figure out a way to keep them healthy and prevent illness to themselves and others. I consider myself to be germ conscious, even before the COVID pandemic. I am very diligent about hand washing and overall health [and] hygiene. So I decided to create a children’s book to teach my children how to be germ conscious as well in a fun and engaging way. Maggie attended weekly night classes to learn how to write a children’s book. In conjunction, she also collaborated with her father and utilized his knowledge of microbiology to help create the germ characters in the book and to make them fun and engaging for the young readers, while also being scientifically accurate.
“My father and I have always loved reading books to children and teaching the younger generation about good health hygiene,” Maggie said. “Throughout his professional career, my father visited elementary schools and local health organizations to teach about the importance of good dental health.” The book itself took Maggie five months to write, but the revision process was quite long. “The goal of the course I took was to learn the process behind how to write a children’s book and at the end of the class, students were expected to have a completed book to submit for publication,” Maggie said. As far as the illustrations go, they were a collaborative effort between Maggie and her father. “The pictures, the characters, and the colors used are some of the most important aspects of the book to draw a child’s attention,” Dr. Samuel Hymowitz said. “The creation of the illustrations was one of the
News
most challenging parts of the book development process,” Maggie said. “I consulted my children for help throughout the process. I went straight to the audience for whom the book was being written to get some honest feedback. We are so excited by the reactions of parents and children to the book and we look forward to doing virtual and in-person readings (with strict COVID precautions) in the near future.” The father-daughter duo
hopes to write more books in the future and is already brainstorming ideas that combine their individual sub-specialties within medicine, ophthalmology and dentistry. Operation Achoo! is currently available in hardcover and paperback on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com for $12-18. It will soon be available on Apple iTunes, Kindle and Google Play. —Mallory Wilson is a contributing writer for Anton Media Group

A Time For Giving Back This past year has been very hard on us all. Yet, one wonderful thing I’ve experienced over and over throughout the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is, either through financial donations or the willingness to volunteer precious time to help others, the amazing level of generosity people have demonstrated. With the holiday season upon us, several annual efforts to make them brighter for families in need have become even more special and important. If you are able to help, here are a few suggested ways to lend a hand: As a result of extensive planning and coordination
From The Desk Of Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton
with Governor Andrew Cuomo’s office, I am pleased to report that we will be holding our 10th annual toy drive in support of the U.S. Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots
program. The event will take place outside Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum rain, shine or snow from 9 a.m. to noon on Sunday, Dec. 6. To protect volunteers and donors, this will be a strictly a drive-through event in which donors pull up to the drop-off point so that a small team of pre-designated volunteers can efficiently and safely collect new, unwrapped toys. Drivers will remain in their cars at all times, and masks will be required. We are so thankful to everyone who has worked so hard to make this event possible this year. I’m especially grateful for the tireless efforts of
Joe LaPadula and Jon Holzer of Martino Auto Concepts, and thank the Nassau County Police Department and Nassau County Executive Laura Curran’s team for helping us do all we can to make the holiday season brighter for deserving families. We hope you will join us and support this cause at a time when the need is so great. If you can’t make it to the Coliseum, many businesses in our community will have donation boxes ready for your donations after Dec. 4. Visit toysfortots.org for more information about drop-off locations or to make a monetary donation.
Closer to home, Port Washington PD Detective Tony Guzzello and the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce are continuing their philanthropic efforts through the Make a Child Smile Toy & Food Drive. While Detective Tony won’t be able to hand out toys to children at holiday parties like he normally does, I’m delighted that children will still benefit from the generosity of residents and local businesses. Visit pwcoc.org for a list of Toy and Food Drive drop-off locations. —Submitted by Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton’s office

Youth Volunteers Grow Veggies For The Needy
S
ince 2010, Marvin Makofsky and his Plant-a-Row for the Hungry initiative have been encouraging gardening to help solve the Port Washington community’s local hunger issues. Large colorfully painted plant pots filled with vegetable seedlings are “adopted” each year and placed throughout the community during the growing season. Volunteers harvest the vegetables and bring them to Bayles Garden Center for delivery to Our Lady of Fatima and St. Peter’s Outreach Centers for distribution to needy families. Over the years, additional gardens began sprouting up (pun intended) in backyards, Helen Keller National Center, the Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society Dodge House, Port Washington Adult Activities Center, Growing Love Community Garden as well as other locations in Port Washington. This has resulted in a dramatic increase in the amount of organic produce grown and donated to needy families through Fatima’s and St. Peter’s outreach efforts. Early in 2020, with the assistance of Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton, Makofsky and Cornell Extension Master Gardener and founder of the Mosaic Foundation for Autism Laurie Murdock met with members of the board of County-owned Science Museum of Long Island (SMLI). They discussed their Summer Program to Fight Hunger and Climate Change concept and the possibility of converting a large swath of open property at SMLI into a garden to grow even more produce, this time enlisting teens and young adults. This past growing season, the garden at SMLI and other locations donated 5,000 pounds of fresh organic produce. Over the past ten years, Plant-a-Row gardens and individual families have harvested 35,000 pounds of produce
for needy families. A strong advocate for the environment, youth programs and nutrition, especially for the underserved, Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton was happy to facilitate this effort. “Today is a real day of hope for the future,” Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton said during a commendation ceremony held at SMLI. “Working with Marvin and everyone else involved in this important project has been incredible. This year in particular, it has been so rewarding to help with such a positive project. It is refreshing to see what people can accomplish when they work together. It is also reassuring to see young people work so passionately to help others, support wildlife, sustainability and our planet’s future.” The Summer Program was organized ReWild Long Island President Raju Rajan. He interviewed and selected high school volunteers from Manhasset, Port Washington and other communities and led the team of young gardeners at the Dodge House. Although the interview and training process began online due to COVID-19 concerns, once the growing season began, the volunteers were eager to get to work in the garden during the 16-week program. “I hope this experience also encourages some of the students to seek career paths that support renewable energy, sustainability,” Rajan said. “I also hope you’ll remember 2020 for the sweat, sun, bugs, zucchini and what a wonderful experience you had. Know that your hard work helped grow organic food for the needy while also helping to reduce our carbon footprint.” Farm to table is not only fresher and healthier, but minimizing the distance food travels to reach consumers reduces carbon emissions and our carbon footprint. Stella Spanakos and Brooke

(Photo courtesy of Delia DeRiggi-Whitton’s office) Mellett guided the Nicholas Center Navigators, a team of Autistic young adults who help the community in a variety of ways, in planting and caring for the 60 flats of seedlings that were started in the Center’s greenhouses. The Navigators and members of the Mosaic Foundation for Autism worked alongside the other young volunteers throughout the summer. “Teaching young people about the value of growing ones own food is a wonderful lesson I’m sure they’ll cherish for their entire lives,” Marvin Makovsky Founder and Chief Vegetable Garden Executive of Planta-Row for the Hungry, said. After Murdock presented all of the volunteers with citations and trowels personalized with their names, Makofsky thanked the Scotts Company, Frank Heffernan, Sweet Pea Nursery, Laurie Murdock and artist Judy Doyle for their invaluable support. Tanya Cluesner with Growing Love Community Garden and ReWild Long Island have been planting milkweed, which is the only food Monarch caterpillars eat, along with other plants the Monarch butterflies need. She recently released more than 2,000 Monarch butterflies that had emerged
from their chrysalides. Both groups are also focusing on expanding their pollinator gardens and creating a symbiotic relationship where bees have healthy living environments while also pollinating the gardens’ vegetables. SMLI President Hildur Palsdottir spoke about the critical need to be climate conscious as we garden and implement farmland regeneration methods since the world’s farms only have about 60 harvests left based on current farming methods. She called the young volunteers our ‘Regeneration Generation’ since they will be the future stewards of the planet, creating ever more and novel ways to clean carbon from the atmosphere that goes far beyond simply drastically reducing carbon emissions.

Hicksville Water District Receives Treatment Installment Deferral
State grants extension to finish needed treatment for 1,4-dioxane
T
he Hicksville Water District has received a compliance deferral from New York State allowing the district additional time to install the necessary infrastructure upgrades to treat for 1,4-dioxane. The two-year deferral process is only available to those water providers throughout the state that have shown significant progress in installing the now required advanced oxidation process (AOP) treatment system for the removal of 1,4-dioxane to meet the newly established maximum contaminant levels (MCL). “We have been working on solutions to this issue well before the state started the process to regulate 1,4-dioxane,” said HWD Chairman William Schuckmann. “Our driving principle is to provide our residents with the highest quality water possible, period. The state’s action levels are extremely conservative in nature, so your water remains safe to consume while we complete this herculean effort to improve our already high-quality water for future generations.”
According to the New York State Health Department, “The MCLs are set well below levels known to cause health effects in animal studies. Therefore, consuming water with PFOA, PFOS or 1,4-dioxane at the level detected does not pose a significant health risk. Your water continues to be acceptable for all uses.” On August 26, 2020, the New York State Health Department finalized regulations establishing MCLs for 1,4-dioxane at 1 part per billion (ppb) and for PFOA and PFOS at 10 parts per trillion (ppt). While PFOA and PFOS are not a concern of the district’s at this point in time as any detection to this point has been below the state’s MCL, 1,4-dioxane is present at 10 of the District’s 14 well sites above or nearing the state’s MCL.
To make the capital improvements necessary to install AOP treatment at each of these well sites, the district is in the middle of making a more than $70 million investment. The district already has its first two AOP treatment facilities online at Plants 1 and 4. “We are working as quickly as possible to finish construction on the remaining treatment facilities,” Schuckmann said. “Our goal is to have all of this treatment up and running well before the two year extension expires, and, in the meantime, will make operational changes to ensure we are limiting any potential exposures to these contaminants as much as possible.” AOP treatment, when coupled with granular activated carbon (GAC), is the only proven method to rid the water supply of 1,4-dioxane. This
treatment combination is also capable of removing perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), should detections of these contaminants ever near the State’s new maximum contaminant levels (MCLs). AOP treatment works by mixing an oxidant, in this case hydrogen peroxide, with water and running it through ultraviolet light. This makes a chemical reaction that destroys the 1,4-dioxane molecules. The water then runs through the GAC filters which removes any remaining hydrogen peroxide and impurities prior to entering the public distribution system. Visit www.hicksvillewater.com to view the entire deferral notice as well as all of the information on emerging contaminants from the New York State Health Department. To stay up-to-date on the water department’s progress to implement treatment, follow the Hicksville Water District on Facebook or sign up to receive email updates by using the popup on the district homepage. —Submitted by the Hicksville Water District
Residents Encouraged To Donate At Dec. 7 Hicksville Blood Drive Blood donations to help replenish supplies amid coronavirus public health crisis To help hospitals meet the ongoing and pressing need for blood during the coronavirus pandemic, Oyster Bay Town Councilman Steve Labriola and Councilwoman Laura Maier remind residents that a blood collection drive will take place on Monday, Dec. 7, from 1 to 7 p.m. at the Hicksville Athletic Center, located at 167 South Broadway in Hicksville. All donors will receive ‘Free Blizzards’ vouchers for Dairy Queen, which can be redeemed at their Massapequa, Levittown, Huntington or East Northport locations. “Blood donations are extremely important during normal times to help secure any necessary blood transfusions for patients. During this pandemic, blood supplies have dwindled tremendously and are critically low, so this blood drive, the largest upcoming drive in our local area, will be critical to help our local hospitals meet demand and continue their life-saving operations during these extraordinary times,” Maier
The Town of Oyster Bay is hosting a Dec. 7 blood drive at the Hicksville Athletic Center. said. “Please consider participating in this blood drive and help bolster our blood banks so that as many people as possible can be helped.” The town’s blood drive will operate by appointment only, with no walk-in donations accepted. Social distancing and sanitary protocols will be in place
to maintain the health and safety of all donors. To qualify as a blood donor, a person must between the ages of 17 and 75 years old (16 with parental permission and 76 or older with a doctor’s note), weigh at least 110 pounds and not have donated blood within the last 56 days. Anyone
who received a tattoo within the past 12 months is ineligible to donate. It is recommended that volunteers eat well (low fat) and drink fluids in the days before the Blood Drive. “Donating blood is a quick, easy, and safe process, and the pint of blood you donate will never be missed from your body, as it is quickly reproduced within your body,” Labriola added. “If you have family members or friends willing to donate, please ask them to support our effort this year, as this initiative is more vital than ever to help make sure that our local hospitals can meet the excessive demand during the coronavirus pandemic and continue to save the lives of as many people as possible.” For additional information regarding the town’s blood drive, contact the town board office at 516-624-6304.

New Hyde Park Board Of Trustees Expresses Frustration With 3TC/MTA BY CODY SULLIVAN

T
he New Hyde Park Board of Trustees recently held a virtual public board meeting to discuss the recent drilling at the New Hyde Park substation and the subsequent vibrations that created a disturbance for many residents. According to New Hyde Park Mayor Lawrence Montreuil, residents were notified of the drilling just one day in advance. The board was not notified prior to the drilling. The G14 electrical substation, located at Third Avenue and South 9th Street, is being replaced as part of the LIRR Expansion Project. “It certainly goes counter to everything we’ve been trying to do to cooperate with the MTA and 3TC, but even their outreach team was unaware

and couldn’t notify us,” Montreuil said. “That doesn’t excuse them in any way and we’re going to still hold them accountable.” At the meeting, trustee Rainer Burger urged any residents who experienced vibrations to request vibration analysis reports. “The village is trying
to acquire those reports, however we’ve been told that the residents have to request those reports,” Burger said. “We’re going to be working with our legal department and counsel to see how we can acquire them. We definitely want to get those out.” Burger also expressed frustration with a crane and
tractor trailer that he said were in the road near the sight. “This was about 6:30 at night, and we were told that there was no night work that was supposed to occur,” he said. “Besides the vibration, my biggest concern was ‘Why is there night work going on?’” Burger said the New Hyde Park Fire Department was not informed despite there being a road closure at the site. The meeting also addressed the closure of the South 12th Street grade crossing. The civilian underpass that is currently under construction is scheduled to be opened between late summer and early fall of 2021. The board is pushing to get a more specific schedule from 3TC. The scheduled night work at South 12th Street has been canceled and will now be done during the day with a
tentative start day of Nov. 30. “Again, if you see stuff, work starting, vibrations, please notify us immediately,” Burger said. “We’ll try to notify all residents as soon as we know the schedule.” At the meeting, the board also addressed this year’s annual tree lighting ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 5 at 4:30 p.m. “Because of the pandemic we will have to forgo the usual tradition of entertaining the children in Marcus Christ Hall,” Montreuil said. “Our tree lighting will really be restricted to outdoors on the front lawn as it always is, and that’s why we’re having it much later, closer to dusk.” The next board meeting will be held on Thursday Dec. 3, at 8 p.m. —Cody Sullivan is a contributing writer for Anton Media Group

he abandoned Sears building located at 111 Franklin Ave. in Garden City may soon have a new tenant thanks to the NYU Langone-Long Island who has decided to take over the space. The Village of Garden City recently received a proposal from NYU Langone to turn the four-story building into a brand new medical center. The Sears building has been vacant since the end of 2018. Planned clinical services include cardiology, in-vitro fertilization (IVF), women’s health, women’s imaging, pediatric, radiology and internal medicine primary care services are some of the medical services that would be offered, according to a spokesperson for the hospital. “As part of its continued growth strategy to enhance access to integrated care on Long Island, NYU Langone Health plans to build a new ambulatory care center at 1111 Franklin Ave. in Garden City,” the spokesperson said. “The new facility will bring together multiple practices from the area into one centralized location.”

The final building schedule is currently under development and does not currently have a set time for when construction or renovations will begin. The hospital also said it’s uncertain at this time how many
jobs will be created by the opening of the center. If the medical center is approved, NYU Langone-Long Island could be using that building for the next 35 years under its lease. The project would also replace a large
section of the exterior concrete wall with glass, repair and upgrade the on-site parking structure and make landscape improvements. The project would not alter the grounds or access to the site.
Mineola Students Sign Letter Of Intents Congratulations to Abbie Meehan and Sara Tramonte as they both signed their NCAA Letters of Intent to play college softball. Both Meehan and Tramonte have been members of the varsity softball team since 8th grade and have provided the backbone for the program over that span. Meehan will attend and play at Hofstra University. Attending a Division 1 program will surely be a great challenge for Meehan, but we know that her love for the game and her prowess as a student athlete will propel her to great success. Her abilities as a smooth fielding infielder with a rocket arm and an outstanding student leader in our high school will surely translate at the college level. Tramonte will be attending Queens College where she will be playing high level NCAA Division II Softball. Tramonte has been a standout catcher and power clean- up hitter for the Mustangs in addition to being an outstanding student leader and we know that she will excel at Queens College. Both young ladies possess all that we hope

Champions For Charity
Americana Manhasset’s annual holiday shopping benefit celebrates 25 Years
L
ong Island’s largest holiday shopping benefit, Champions for Charity, takes place Thursday, Dec. 3 through Saturday, Dec. 5 at Americana Manhasset. During these three festive days, 25 percent of designated full-price pre-tax purchases will be donated to the organization(s) of the shopper’s choice when a Champion Number is presented at the time of purchase. This is the 25th year of this very special philanthropic and collaborative initiative between Americana’s shops and their patrons. To date, this event has raised nearly $14 million dollars for both local and national charities since its inception in 1996. “I am so proud of Americana Manhasset’s Champions for Charity holiday shopping benefit,” Catherine Castagna, President of Castagna Realty Co., Inc, parent company of Americana Manhasset and Wheatley Plaza, said. “Giving back has been a vital part of Americana Manhasset’s mission throughout its 64-year history, and it continues to be fundamental as we look forward to the future. This is a particularly poignant year to be celebrating the 25th anniversary of Champions for Charity. The past nine months have been extremely challenging for so many in our community and for the nonprofit organizations that serve them. It’s more important than ever to do what we can to help. We thank our stores and our loyal, philanthropic-minded clientele for their partnership.” This year, more than 140 nonprofit organizations are participating in the program, representing a wide and diverse range of extremely worthy causes. The collection includes local hospital initiatives, medical research institutes, food banks, mental health organizations, youth groups and family services, animal rescue groups, educational and cultural institutions and more. The breadth of organizations speaks volumes about the spirit of giving that exists within the Long Island community. To participate in Champions for Charity, simply register for your complimentary Champion Number online at championsforcharity.org or by phone at 800-818-6767. Present your Champion Number from Dec. 3 through Dec. 5 at the time of each
purchase, and 25 percent of your designated full-price, pre-tax purchases will be donated to the participating organization(s) of your choice. This year, many stores are making accommodations to allow for customers to shop remotely, with designated phone number and/or email addresses to respond to remote requests, and curbside pickup available. Taking an active role in the community has always been an integral part of Castagna Realty Retail Group’s mission. Americana Manhasset was one of the first shopping destinations to embrace the concept of charity shopping and remains a leader by offering a significant 25 percent pretax donation to charity. “Celebrating our 25th year, Champions for Charity is our signature holiday event that brings our community together,” Deirdre Costa Major, President, Castagna Realty Retail Group, said. “Having all of our stores join in this collaborative way shows our commitment to making a difference for our clients and community. In light of the hurdles of this past year,
shopping for loved ones in support of charity is more important than ever to our customers. Americana Manhasset is a premier collection of 60 fine shops, including Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Cartier, Ermenegildo Zegna, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bottega Veneta, Hirshleifers, Ralph Lauren, London Jewelers and more, all within a unique outdoor environment designed by renowned architect Peter Marino and landscape designer Oehme van

LETTER TO THE EDITOR JOHN FERRETTI CAN FIX WHAT AILS COUNTY If the pandemic has taught us anything, it should be that we as Long Islanders need to be more involved in local government. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran was articulate when she addressed Long Islander’s concerns during the coronavirus apex. For weeks, many people tuned in to Curran’s COVID news conferences to see how Nassau County was battling the deadly virus. But she has fallen short of helping working class families when they need it the most. Despite claiming to want to protect the welfare of Long Island families, Curran has proposed more than a $9 million dollar property tax hike on Nassau County residents in the midst of a pandemic, and her unfair reassessment is crippling family’s budgets.
While many Long Islanders are still dealing with the financial effects of a statewide shutdown, the county executive is strapping residents with unfair taxes they simply can’t pay. Just check your first half tax bills that came in this week—the first under her reassessment. Nassau is at a crossroads, and deserves a leader that will fight for working class families. Someone who will fight to lower taxes, not veto tax cuts. Someone who will work with our federal partners to rid the county of MS-13 and other violent gangs. Someone who will answer constituent calls, not leave residents in the dark. Someone who will stand up against Democrat’s dangerous bail reform, and stand with our men and women of law
enforcement. With about 11 months to go until the county executive is on the ballot, I know who my pick would be to run against Curran and get our county back on track. Legislator John Ferretti (R–Levittown) has been an outspoken critic of Curran’s reassessment, and worked with members of the majority to introduce tax cuts that the county executive later vetoed. He has held town hall meetings throughout the district; taking what he has heard and turning it into legislative action. Whether it be introducing legislation to help exterminate rodents in the community, or working with parents to educate children on the dangers of reckless bike riding and riding a bike
without a helmet. As executive, Ferretti will continue to vote against increases in property taxes, reinstate funding to battle the rodent issue plaguing Nassau residents, and always stand with our dedicated law enforcement community by advocating to get rid of the dangerous cashless bail laws that put both police officers and our community at risk. Curran talks a big game, but her actions speak volumes. It is time for new leadership to represent the residents— someone who truly understands middle class values. Ferretti has brought surprising transparency back to the legislative process and would continue to do so as county executive. —Grace Morris
Right Now, Congressional conference committee members are deciding which provisions will remain in the final version of S. 4049, The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (NDAA).

NEW FOR 2020
To The Rescue Hess Truck unveils its first ever ambulance BY ANTHONY MURRAY
amurray@antonmediagroup.com
T
he 2020 Hess Ambulance & Rescue is rushing to the holiday scene this year just in time to brighten up the holidays. This heroic and versatile pair of first responder vehicles, although coincidental, but also very fitting for a year where there is a worldwide pandemic, is designed to deliver aid wherever the need may be. Clearing the way with nearly 100 lights, which is the most ever on a holiday Hess Toy Truck, four different emergency siren/flashing light combinations, and off-road wheelie-popping action will have people of any age fall in love with this year’s annual tradition. Hess’ first-ever ambulance pays tribute to all the first responders who are there for us when we need them most. The heavy-duty Type I truckstyle medical transport includes an oversized passenger compartment that doubles as a carrier for its rescue partner. Designed for high visibility, the bright, attention-grabbing red and white cab coloring is accompanied by an eye-popping 70 lights. For the first time ever, four different flashing light patterns are included; each activated in tandem with a unique siren sound via the four cab-mounted buttons. A switch under the chassis activates lights in steady mode and for the first time ever, there is a mute
mode that is included to keep the lights flashing without the accompanying siren sounds. The sparkling chrome accents add impressive detail to the heroic vehicle. A top-mounted button at the rear of the see-through passenger compartment releases the rear door which acts as a ramp for the rescue. The accompanying rescue is a rugged on/off-roader pickup truck with a fold-down tailgate and a pull-back motor that can be revved-up and released to create fun wheelie-popping action. Its bright red color is complemented with sparkling chromelook accents and another 26 lights that work in steady mode. The 2020 Hess Ambulance and Rescue is sold exclusively at HessToyTruck.com, for $36.99 plus tax. Six Energizer batteries and free standard shipping are included.

Best Strategies And Foods For Stress Management I think it is fair to say we have all experienced some sort of stress during these past few months. From hearing words on TV, like “national pandemic” to “quarantine,” to “face masks” we are experiencing stress. Suddenly the new norm became quite different than what we are used to. How did each one of us process and deal with these recent stressful times? It is evident that the general population was overwhelmed with these unforeseen circumstances. Some had outlets to exercise and eat healthy and others overate and overindulged. We are still learning about COVID-19, but what we do know is that people are more at risk that suffered from underlying health issues. It is evident that stress in any case exasperates any situation but will in fact enhance someone’s underlying conditions. One of the recent phrases we have heard was “flatten the curve,” but people are learning to deal with stress more productively and “flattening their own curve.” Stress is the body’s natural response to change and is an unavoidable part of life. This response may be triggered by emotions, day-to-day situations

Over time, chronic stress can lead to serious health issues, including depression, heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.

219318 S
The Wizard of Oz, one of the world’s best loved films of the Golden Era, has been credited with one of the greatest quotes of the film. It was uttered by The Wizard as he spoke to the Tin Man about the merits of having a heart. It goes a little like this: “Back where I come from, there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. They are known as phila-, phila- - good deed-doers.” When one encounters a “good deed doer”, one cannot help but feel uplifted. A group of “good deed doers” gathered on the grounds of Bethpage Federal Credit Union at 899 South Oyster Bay Rd. in Bethpage on November 20 for the 12th Annual Bethpage Turkey Drive. The event, which ran from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on a mild November Friday, benefited local charity Island Harvest. Countless cars lined up along the entrance to the “contactless” drop off lanes. Folks drove up to their respective lines, where volunteers took packages and turkeys from donors. As a thank-you, volunteers from Bethpage Federal Credit Union offered a goodie bag, complete with a personal-sized hand sanitizer and a pen from the bank. Volunteers were cheery and expressed gratitude to community

members who offered donations. Island Harvest President and CEO Randi Shubin Dresner had a grin from ear-to-ear as she surveyed the situation. It was 11:30 a.m. and one tractor trailer was filled with turkeys and trimmings. A second tractor trailer was almost completely full, and volunteers began to load a third. “This is even better than last year,” Randi said with a smile. “Because of COVID, we have a lot more families in need. The economic upheaval caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has created a greater need among Long Islanders seeking food assistance, many for the first time. We are incredibly grateful to Bethpage Federal Credit Union for their support and generosity throughout the year and look forward to another successful Bethpage

Turkey Drive to help food-insecure families enjoy a more hopeful holiday season.” Island Harvest has assisted more than 400,000 families since March, supplementing approximately 9.4 million meals. Since the program launched twelve years ago, more than 33,000 turkeys and more than 130,000 pounds of food have been donated by generous Long Islanders to offer food-insecure neighbors the opportunity to enjoy a holiday meal. At 3 p.m., there were 2,925 turkeys donated along with more than 24,000 pounds of food. Corporate donations were significant this year, including a sizable donation from PSEGLI. Monetary donations help Island Harvest to distribute food to those in need. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Island Harvest has distributed more than 11 million pounds of food. This is a 47 percent increase over the same period last year. COVID-19’s impact on Long Island’s hungry has been unprecedented this year. Approximately 70,000 individuals receive food assistance from Island Harvest’s Food Bank network each week. Island Harvest Food Bank is a leading hunger-relief organization that provides food and other resources to people in need. They seek to preserve dignity and respect. Its mission is to
end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island through efficient food collection and distribution, enhanced hunger-awareness and nutrition-education programs, job training, and direct services targeted towards children, seniors, veterans, and other folks at risk for food insecurity. More than 94 percent of expended resources go directly to programs and services that support the more than now 400,000 Long Islanders who face hunger daily. Island Harvest Food Bank is also a member of Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization. Island Harvest is among just 9 percent of the organizations rated by Charity Navigator to merit the four-star designation. Visit Island Harvest’s website at www.islandharvest.org if you would like to help hungry Long Islanders. There are many ways to be a gooddeed doer. Randi Shubin Dresner and the people who volunteered with her on Nov. 20 do not require a testimonial to value their worth. It can be felt in the warmth of the community members who poured out in droves to assist those in need. That, my friends, is all the proof anyone needs to prove love in action and hearts that are wellloved by others. Patty Servidio is an Anton Media Group columnist.

with extensive roof damage, water penetration, unsanitary conditions, rotting interior walls and overall general disrepair. Additionally, the house had suffered significant fire damage, which further comprised its integrity. “We have been aggressively combatting zombie homes through code enforcement programs implemented by our Quality of Life Taskforce, which are designed to rid neighborhoods of eyesores such as this,” Imbroto said. “Through the taskforce, we identify neglected properties and move forward with the legal process necessary to address these blights appropriately. Thanks to these efforts, this Seaford property marks the 15th home we’ve demolished since the task force was formed.” The Code Compliance Bureau of the Department of Planning and Development is charged with the enforcement of all codes, rules and regulations pertaining to zoning, housing and public safety. It is expressly designed to handle requests of citizens regarding possible violations. Visit www.oysterbaytown.com/codeenforcement to file a complaint.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino recently joined with Councilman Lou Imbroto, as well as town highway and building officials and local neighbors to commence the demolition of a long-dilapidated zombie home in the Seaford community. The second home to be demolished in the area this year, this longtime eyesore was recently court-granted for demolition following multiple complaints from local neighbors. “Town personnel began visiting this property a few years ago, after receiving numerous complaints from neighbors. In fact, our inspectors have visited this property more than 58 different times,” Saladino said. “Our residents are our eyes and ears in their neighborhoods and they don’t deserve to have such an eyesore in their communities.” Following years of complaints from the neighborhood, the town took vigilant action when Saladino and Imbroto initiated the Quality of Life Taskforce, which combats such dilapidated properties throughout the town. This property had been left unmaintained after numerous code violations issued upon the property owner went unanswered. The building was found to be in very poor condition,
Life is full of uncertainty.
Assemblyman Ed Ra has announced that legislation creating a statewide volunteer firefighter recruitment and retention task force has been signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo. Ra co-sponsored the legislation in the Assembly. “The number of volunteer fighters has been decreasing in communities across the state for years, and the COVID-19 pandemic has made it even more difficult for local departments and statewide associations to boost enrollment. A bipartisan group of members in the Assembly and Senate believe it’s time for the state to get more involved in solving this problem, so we got to work. We’re grateful the governor signed our bill, and we’re eager to get the task force off the ground,” said Ra. The 14 members of the task force will vet lots of ideas to improve enrollment, including new training partnerships with BOCES, high schools and community colleges, new tax incentives and creating a new bureau under the Office of Fire Prevention and Control dedicated solely to recruitment. “If you want to know what real citizenship is all about, if you want to know what it means to take care of your neighbors and put your community first, go talk to a volunteer firefighter,” said Ra. “This is about getting them more help. They need it and they deserve it.”

POLICE REPORT The Nassau County Police reports the details of an aided case involving a Nassau man that occurred on Nov. 17 at 9:40 a.m. in Levittown. According to police, a 43-year-old male was working on his vehicle near the intersection of Hempstead Turnpike and Loring Road. The victim put a jack under the vehicle and extended it to lift the vehicle off the ground so he could inspect underneath it. As the victim was lying under the vehicle lying face up, parallel to the road, the jack gave out. The vehicle collapsed on top of the victim, trapping him with one of his arms across his chest, restricting his breathing. The vehicle hit the side of the curb, preventing it from fully collapsing on top of the victim. Eighth Precinct officers responded to the scene and were able to put the jack back under the vehicle to decrease pressure on the man’s chest as he could not breath. Several Nassau County Emergency Service Unit (ESU) officers responded to the scene and deployed a Power Mat Rescue Bag. They inflated the bag, slowly lifting the vehicle off the ground; allowing the victim to slide himself freely from underneath. No injuries were reported at scene.

damage, make nests in your filters and cause other messes. I’ve even had one set up shop in my glove compartment. There are a variety of sprays and granules on the market to deter these animals. Some have the scent of a predator and others smell like mint—a scent rodents don’t like. Don’t ignore needed maintenance. Many service recommendations are based on time and not just mileage. For example: your car requires an oil change every six months, or 7,000 miles. You still need to have the oil replaced and the vital fluids checked, regardless of whether you drive 7,000 miles or not.
BY JOHN PAUL
Drive your vehicle at least once a week for 30 minutes. Not only will it get you out of the house, it will exercise all the moving parts of the engine and help maintain the battery. Don’t just let the car sit idle; drive it around to get the maximum benefit for all the fluids and tires.

Fill your vehicle’s fuel tank and add a gasoline stabilizer. This will extend the life of fuel and prevent condensation from building up in the fuel tank. When you do drive the vehicle, don’t be surprised if you hear a slight grinding noise from the brakes, this is nothing more than a little surface rust wearing off the brake surfaces. Rust can accumulate from being parked for a period of time and isn’t something to be too concerned with.
Take a few minutes to lubricate door locks (if accessible), hinges, the hood release and even the gas door release. Use a light oil or silicone spray, not a penetrating oil. Penetrating oil is great for dealing with rusty nuts and bolts but tends to wash away lubricants.
Inflate the tires to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation; the correct pressure is usually found on a placard on the driver-side door jamb.
Keep your car clean. Wash your car weekly if it’s parked outside. Acid rain and bird droppings can damage the finish. And, an afternoon spent washing, vacuuming and waxing your vehicle will burn about 1,100 calories—it is also a great stress reliever. —John Paul is the AAA Car Doctor
Depending where you park, there may be mice or other critters that want to call your vehicle home. These rodents can chew on wires and cause thousands of dollars of

Ted Munnecke passed away peacefully in his sleep October 24, 2020. Ted was born in The Bronx of New York City April 14, 1935 to Ted and Janet Munnecke and sister Joy. A few years later, the family moved to the Long Island area, where he grew up and attended Manhasset High School. In high school Ted excelled in sports and in particular both Lacrosse and football.. and playing alongside NFL great Jim Brown in both sports. During his senior year his team went undefeated and winning a division championship in football (1953). Ted’s college years were spent at Principia College in Elsah, IL where once again athletics were a main focus particpating in both football and baseball. Playing fullback and later quarterback, he was apart of three football conference championships (54, 55, & 56) and going undefeated in 1954. It wasn’t all about athletics though for Ted at Principia College. There he met the love of his life Martha Jane Hackett. Soon after his graduation they wed in 1958 and had a daughter Merry Ella and a son Theo. Ted and Martha were married for over 60 years. Upon earning his master’s degree Ted began a long career spanning over 30 years both teaching biology and coaching football at the Principia High School. There he implemented many educational trips throughout the states and abroad. Most notable was his trips to Jackson Hole Wyoming. The Wyoming trip
in conjunction with the Teton Science School is now and has been a staple example of the educational experience Ted endeared to bring his students developing an inter-disciplinary learning experience. Travels abroad with his wife Martha took them to Africa, China, Costa Rica, and The Canadian Rockies, numerous summer adventures with family saw them traveling from Alaska to Florida and Maine to California. Upon his retirement he settled into his country place of Tamunn Farm with ease. There he enjoyed fishing, house projects, restoring log cabins and enjoying conversations over a warm fire or on the front porch with old and new friends. Ted is survived by his daughter Merry Ella (Demetrio) of Houston, TX; son Theo of Thompsonville, MI and sister Joy (Chuck) of Laguna Nigel, CA. He is preceded in death by his parents Ted and Janet Munnecke; and his life’s sweetheart Martha Jane his wife. The family wishes to Thank All who have stopped by, called, or otherwise extended their love, support, and condolences at this time. Per Ted’s wishes a memorial service will not be planned but rather he be remembered as a good husband, father, neighbor, and friend, who expressed love, joy, an enthusiasm for all that is good, and an appreciation for family, friends, and good neighbors. In lieu of flowers please feel free to donate to your favorite charity.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are many things you accept as who you are that actually have little to do with your core being. Rather, they are actions you perform repeatedly, mostly to fit in with society. It will help you this week to separate who you are from what you do. Pleasure, well-being and vitality spring from adjusting a set of actions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Short bursts of pleasure can provide an escape from the humdrums of reality but often come at a cost high enough to make them an unsustainable remedy for life’s daily frustrations. Shoot for joy, not pleasure. Dig into interests that take a little longer but fortify as they go.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Once you dreamed of being a person who could help others in a certain way. You worked toward the ability until it was yours to apply to the benefit of all. This is a source of deep satisfaction. Continue on the path. Now you have new, noble aims, the pursuit of which will make you stronger and even more able to uplift. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re not one to go in just because things look nice. You’ll do the test run, kick the tires and make sure there’s value to match the shiny facade. You may not have the luxury of time this week to put a thing to the sort of checklist you would like for assurances. You can, however, trust the high recommendation of friends.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is standard-issue protocol for jealous humans to compare themselves with the competition in hopes of finding ways in which to be superior. The tendency is nothing to be ashamed of, though it should be worked through privately with the intention of examining and fortifying one’s sense of self-worth. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Accolades, like nicknames, don’t count if you give them to yourself. You’ve long known that the more impressive a person tries to be, the less an impression gets made. So, you avoid the song and dance, opting for the dignified choice to complete a series of meaningful tasks. Praise will catch up with you later. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can’t deliberately get people to care. They know when they do, and they have their own personal motives for it. The best you can do is to observe what’s working and duplicate it. The tools that will make you powerful this week include curiosity, acute awareness, social grace and excellent listening. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Appearances definitely matter in the shortterm, but superficial judgments are brief and interchangeable. Ugly becomes pretty; good becomes bad. Instead of focusing on making things look the right way, focus on making them useful. Accomplishments speak in a way that appearances never can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The complexity of a relationship builds, getting more exciting and also more vulnerable. The best relationships are like trees; they grow up and down at the same time. There have to be roots deep enough to anchor the height and fullness. Relationship roots grow in daily trust built over time, from plans made and kept. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People assume things that aren’t true, and that’s the norm. So much is unknowable, including the inner thoughts, feelings and experiences of another person. To accept that you don’t know and stop guessing about it is liberating. Relatedly, you’ll feel best around people who don’t, with their actions, tell you who to be.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS
You’ll do the right thing. It will be terribly inconvenient, and it will also produce an avalanche of good fortune. Furthermore, there are opportunities -- subtle at first, but as the months pass, greater trust will be invested in you until you find yourself in a position where people rely on you and seek your leadership. It’s not a prize so much as a calling. In 12 month’s time, you’ll look back at this fascinating juncture, in awe at your ability to navigate with such integrity. COPYRIGHT 2020 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While it is wise to avoid the sort of distractions that were designed to lure you, when it comes to genuine interest, this is a week to go all-in. Notice what stimulates your mind and allow yourself to follow your interest even if it’s unusual, trifling, implausible or plain silly. There’s a reason attention goes where it does.
