Amini uncovers the story of her parents’ early years in Mashhad, Iran, and the little-known history and persecution of underground Jews in this ancestral homeland. The universal themes of family and loyalty, honoring traditional customs vs. breaking the mold, fighting oppression and yearning for hope all bear witness to Esther trying to understand and then struggling with what to keep and what to discard.

King Kullen Raises $23,000 For Food Bank

ing Kullen recently came to the aid of Long Islanders in need by hosting its annual instore “Check Out Hunger” campaign, raising $23,000. The money was donated to the Long Island Cares/Harry Chapin Food Bank, which has served the hungry on Long Island since 1980. “The need for emergency food supplies on Long Island was never greater than in 2020,” King Kullen Executive Vice President Joseph W. Brown said, who also serves as president, Wild by Nature Markets, and past board president, Long Island Cares. “The pandemic and weakened economy impacted families and people of all ages throughout Nassau and Suffolk.” In 1997, King Kullen was the first supermarket

chain to participate in the annual “Check Out Hunger” campaign, a unique partnership between Long Island Cares and the shopping community in which customers can make a donation with a coupon when checking out at the supermarket register. One hundred percent of all donations go to Long Island Cares. “King Kullen and Wild by Nature have made a meaningful difference in the fight against hunger,” Long Island Cares/Harry Chapin Food Bank Chief Executive Officer Paule T. Pachter said. “Their customers continue to generously support our mission and we are forever grateful for their support all these years.” —Submitted by King Kullen

Woodbury Nursing Home Residents Receive Balloon Buddies

Adrianne Roth, Woodbury Jewish Center 2nd VP & WJCares Co-Chairperson, Dr. Ellen Feit, Woodbury Jewish Center President and Rabbi Jason Fruithandler, greet Excel residents John Cianci, 70, and Cathy Christofrotos, 92 as they receive their Balloon Buddies.

For many of the residents at Excel at Woodbury for Rehabilitation and Nursing, the past year since the pandemic has meant largely no visitation and less socialization. But that is all changed when, as part of the international Adopt-A-Grandparent campaign, each and every resident at the facility received a “Balloon Buddy,” a gift from the Woodbury Jewish Center congregants and Balloons by Amanda. Balloon professionals like Amanda Johnson are joining together from across the world to help fight loneliness and spread some joy through the Adopt-AGrandparent Balloon Buddy campaign. “It means the world to our residents to know that the outside world has not forgotten them,” Stacey Altman, administrator for Excel at Woodbury, said. “This past year has been a difficult one, but I know that the Balloon Buddies will bring some joy and smiles into their lives.” Balloon Buddies are created from balloons much like a magician might

fashion a balloon animal. They look like little people with a big smile. Balloons by Amanda created 118 Balloon Buddies for the residents at Excel, through the generous donation by the WJCares committee at the Woodbury Jewish Center. “Woodbury Jewish Center and WJCares is honored to be able to help make a difference and brighten the day of 118 Seniors residing at The Excel at Woodbury for Rehabilitation and Nursing in Woodbury,” Adrianne Roth, 2nd vice president and co-chair of WJCares, said. Johnson, a member of the board of directors of the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce, said that there are other nursing homes in the Syosset-Woodbury area that will also be receiving Balloon Buddies, sponsored by a variety of individuals and organizations.

Plainview Water District Encourages Residents To Adopt-A-Hydrant As we jump into the colder months, the Plainview Water District (PWD) would like to remind its residents about the importance of keeping fire hydrants clear. Ensuring hydrants remain free of snow and any other winter debris can save first responders valuable time during their response to an emergency situation. “The winter weather arriving always provides us with an opportunity to remind our residents and local business owners of the importance of keeping hydrants clear,” PWD Chairman Marc Laykind said. “Making sure the fire department has quick and easy access to fire hydrants at all times saves precious moments

that should be used when responding to an emergency.” Residents can “adopt” a nearby fire hydrant to pledge responsibility for reporting issues and making sure it is kept clear during snowstorms. Clearing approximately three feet around the hydrant will provide firefighters with uninterrupted access in case of a potential emergency. This provides plenty of room for the emergency personnel to operate the device as well as locate it. “You never know when or where an emergency is going to occur so never assume that the fire hydrant in front of your home won’t be needed,” PWD Commissioner Andrew Bader said.

“We also encourage residents to never assume someone else will clear the hydrant so please communicate with your neighbors to ensure it is cleared in a timely fashion.” In addition, residents should consider assisting neighbors, family members and friends who are unable to clear their own fire hydrants without assistance. Residents who leave their homes for the winter season are asked to notify a neighbor who can make sure someone is responsible for clearing it in their absence. “The safety of our community is always our foremost priority, which is why we are so emphatic about making sure this simple yet vital step is not

overlooked,” PWD Commissioner Amanda Field said. “We appreciate the attention of our residents on this simple, yet crucial, task.” If you have questions about preparing your home’s water system for the winter or general inquiries about your water service, call 516-931-6469 or send an email to info@plainviewwater.org. Customers of the Plainview Water District are also encouraged to sign up to receive updates by visiting www.plainviewwater.org.

The Highest Ratings In Village History BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

nce a year since 2010—with the exception of 2011—the Village of Westbury has issued public improvement serial bonds to finance the upkeep and repaving of its roadways, one of the greatest expenses. The borrowing on the bond market has been relatively cheap for the village, thanks to its high ratings by two of the major global municipal bond credit rating services. Mayor Peter Cavallaro touted a Jan. 27 report by Moody’s Investor Services, which gave the village a bond rating of Aa2, “which along with the AA+ rating ascribed by Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings are the highest bond ratings in the village’s history,” according to the mayor. Cavallaro has pointed out that the village has repaved nearly all of its roads and hopes to complete the process by the end of this year. The mayor picked out the following highlights in Moody’s ratings report: • “The credit position of Westbury is very strong and its Aa2 rating slightly

The Westbury Village Hall (Photo by Frank Rizzo) exceeds the median rating of Aa3 for cities nationwide.” • “Key credit factors include a robust financial position, strong wealth and income profile and sizable tax base. We do not see any material immediate credit risk for Westbury.” • “The rating also reflects a negligible debt burden, and moderate pension liability.” • “Overall, Westbury has a very healthy economy and tax base.” “The rating confirms that our past conservative budgeting and fiscal discipline has positioned Westbury to weather the current economic downturn and that our strong management practices have resulted

in an exceptionally strong financial position,” Cavallaro said. “That affirmation should give our taxpayers comfort that this highly respected third party recognizes the village for prudent financial management and stewardship of their tax dollars. Our ability to maintain the village’s strong finances in this difficult economic period proves that prudent, conservative budgeting and finance practices make a real difference for taxpayers.” The village has never breached the state-imposed 2 percent tax cap, introduced with the 2011 fiscal year. With some limitations, it limits the tax levy increase—the amount a municipality raises via property taxes—to 2 percent

or the rate of inflation. For the 2020-21 fiscal year, which began on July 1, Westbury’s tax cap is 3.08 percent, which includes a permitted carry-over from the previous year. Unlike the county, which depends on sales taxes for about 40 percent of its revenue, villages and towns rely more on property taxes, and therefore have not been impacted as greatly by the pandemic economic slowdown. “The current economic environment is very challenging,” Cavallaro concluded, “but this re-affirmation of the village’s financial condition and stewardship gives our residents and business owners, as well as those looking to do business or live here, the comfort of knowing that the village continues to be among the most fiscally strong and well managed municipalities on Long Island, and will continued to be an economically attractive place to live, work and do business, even at this distressed time.” What did you think of this article?

Picking A College Major: Let The Library Help For many students, selecting a college major is an overwhelming prospect. It’s a decision that helps to determine the course of your college experience, and if chosen successfully, can also help to define your future professional life. Our local library is stepping in to help teens get the information they need to make this important choice. Beginning in October 2020, the Levittown Public Library’s Young Adult Department (YA) has been offering College Major Exploration, an ongoing series of informal virtual conversations with college representatives to help introduce teens to various fields of study. YA began its focus on the college experience in 2019 when they created College Access, a series of ongoing programs for teens and parents on topics ranging from financial aid and college applications to stress management and study tips. According to LibrarianTrainee Samantha DiPietro, the point person for these programs, developing the series was a natural evolution from the College Access programs, and especially pertinent given the pandemic. Librarian Cecilia Liu, head of the YA Department, specifically zeroed in on this type of program after speaking with parents and learning

How The MTA Can Find $8 Billion There are other solutions for MTA Chairman Pat Foye instead of asking for additional third $8 billion financial bailout from Washington. These dollars are supposed to cover future anticipated deficits for 2022 to 2024. The MTA continues to place their $51 billion, Five Year Capital Plan (2020-2024) on hold due to funding assumptions which were never realistic. Due to the economic recession as a result of COVID-19, many billions anticipated from congestion pricing, real estate transfer, Internet sales, along with other city and state taxes, will be lost. This next $8 bailout request is on top of $3.8 billion emergency COVID-19 funding that Uncle Sam made available on March 25 and second $4 billion bailout which will be received under another CARE COVID-19 grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in coming weeks. The MTA needs to look within its own resources to find $8 billion in savings rather than additional aid from Washington. Here are some ways the MTA can reduce the need for a third $8 billion federal bailout. This past Dec. 11, the Federal Transit Administration extended the eligibility for formula funding under the Emergency Relief Program, to be used to pay for operating expenses. Funding may now cover

operating expenses related to COVID-19 recovery from 2018 through Jan. 20, 2022 at 100 percent federal share. This could result in several billion in federal funding that could be programmed toward operating deficits as a result of COVID-19. The MTA must conduct a forensic audit of the $12 billion in active FTA grants to see what might be available to use toward COVID-19 expenses In 1953, the old New York City Board of Transportation passed on control of the municipal subway system, including all its assets, under a master lease and operating agreement to the newly created New York City Transit Authority. New York City owns the NYC Transit subway and bus system. The MTA is the management company hired to run it. Insist that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio provide his fair share to avoid a future 40 percent threatened reduction to bus and subway service. Insist that Governor Andrew Cuomo,

calculated on the final year’s base salary. All combined could save the MTA billions. The receipt of a total of $8 billion in CARE COVID-19 federal dollars should be matched by a corresponding cut to the $51 billion Capital Plan. Millions of Americans are making due with significant income loss. The MTA needs to do the same. Reducing the $51 billion Capital Plan to $43 billion will still result in the largest in MTA history. When you add MTA Chairman and CEO Patrick J. Foye in the $8 billion in carryover (Photo: Marc A.

TV Dinners From Social Media Social media platforms are a necessity in today’s business world. Businesses encourage folks to interact via their social media pages. Restaurants take to platforms like Instagram and Facebook to market their products and offer mouthwatering photographs of their menu items. As Facebook CEO/CoFounder Mark Zuckerberg Facebook once stated, “Think about what people are doing Patty Servidio on Facebook today. They’re keeping up with their friends building an image and idenand family, but they’re also tity for themselves, which in a

sense is their ‘brand.’ They’re connecting with the audience that they want to connect to. It’s almost a disadvantage if you’re not on it now.” Love him or hate him, Mr. Zuckerberg makes a valid point: If you aren’t participating in social media platforms, perhaps it might be time to try one. One of the reasons why I participate in social media platforms is to keep in touch with family and friends. Finding out about the goings-on in our town is another

great reason to be a part of this growing influence. Just recently, I learned of the Hicksville PTA Food Drive and the boxes placed outside every elementary school in town for the less fortunate. I’ve heard about happy moments, sad time and wonderful events that have been offered within Hicksville and the surrounding areas. One of the most interesting items on Facebook that I’ve noticed is the reminiscing over favorite family dinners. A friend posted a photo of an

aluminum tray that contained three pieces of fried chicken. In separate compartments in the tray, there were apples in a corn syrup “gravy”, mashed potatoes with a smidge of “butter” and a combination of bright green peas and equally bright orange carrots. I present to you the Swanson TV dinner. TV dinners were something that parents often served as a “quick meal.” These were usually reserved for evenings

With options such as hot dogs with baked beans, Salisbury steak or international items like Polynesian Dinner or spaghetti and meatballs, one could have a “hot cooked meal” without the muss and fuss of pots and pans. My favorite TV dinner meal had always been the Salisbury steak. True, it was like a long, compressed hamburger, but it had a tasty flavor and a thin brown gravy that could disguise the definitive cardboard taste of those hard mashed potatoes that were often dried around the edges. My sister often enjoyed the chicken dinner, while Dad enjoyed a turkey dinner that hadn’t taken hours to create. He also preferred the “Hungry Man” TV meal, which offered larger portions. Mom didn’t really have favorites, so she ate whatever appealed to her in the moment. Please note that

neKey MLS, the largest MLS in New York with more than 40,000 realtors, released the annual real estate market statistics for Long Island, which includes Nassau, Suffolk and Queens, reporting a 2020 closed median home price of $515,000. This represents an increase of 8.4 percent from $475,000 recorded in 2019. For more than 40 years, the Multiple Listing Service has served as the local source of real estate market data and this is the first time the MLS has reported a combined year-long closed median price for Long Island over the $500,000 mark. On a county level, Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, all reported gains in annual home prices attributed to the combination of record low interest rates, limited available inventory, and the high demand for housing brought on by the influx of buyers moving from the city. Nassau reported an annual closed median home price of $575,000 in 2020, which is 7.5 percent higher than $535,000 reported for 2019. Actual closed sales transactions for 2020 represented more than $20 billion in closing gross sales volume according to OneKey MLS, which was generated from the 36,163 transactions recorded for the year on the system. This represents a decrease of 7.5 percent from sales reported in 2019 that was the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic across the New York area especially in March, April and May when the traditional robust spring real estate market would have been underway, but was paused. â€”Submitted by OneKey MLS

New Year, New You! Many patients are concerned about the signs of facial aging making them appear older than they truly are. There are so many new techniques and procedures that turn back the clock with minimal downtime. Rapid recovery procedures pioneered by Stephen T. Greenberg M.D., F.A.C.S. has his patients back to normal activities in a matter of days. The latest mini-facelift, micro-mini facelift and Plasma facelifts have patients looking 10 years younger and back to daily routines quicker than ever before. By surgically repositioning the underlying muscle and tissue while removing and tightening excess skin, natural facial features become more prominent and a youthful look is achieved. The eyes are a tell-tale sign of aging. With a quick and simple eyelid lift, excess skin and fat are removed to refresh the upper and lower eyelids, smooth puffiness and lift the lids to a more youthful position. There are also many non-invasive treatments that have patients looking and feeling more refreshed. Laser skin tightening promotes the body’s own collagen production in order to rebuild lost volume. The quick and simple treatment has patients glowing with zero downtime! Microneedling erases fine lines, improves texture and stimulates collagen production for a rejuvenated result.

face as well as the eye and brow areas. Injectable treatments are another quick and simple way to refresh and rejuvenate the face. There are many options when it comes to dermal fillers that are used to improve hollows, folds, lines and wrinkles. When used in combination, cosmetic injectables contour and define the jawline, cheeks, chin and nose to provide facial harmony and symmetry. Replacing lost volume in the face using dermal fillers refreshes your overall look and certain filler products work to stimulate the body’s own production of collagen for longer lasting results.

Catholic Health Unveils New Brand BY ANTON MEDIA GROUP

Specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

atholic Health Services, a leading provider of quality health care focused on Long Islanders, recently announced it is changing its name to Catholic Health. While the new name is shorter, Catholic Health’s commitment to providing the highest quality care from professionals who humanize the science of medicine is as strong as ever. The new branding allows the health system to emphasize its Catholic heritage along with sharing its reputation for excellent physicians and services that it has built over the past several decades of service to the community. “We provide the best possible care from proven leaders in their fields,” said Catholic Health’s President and CEO Alan D. Guerci, MD. Entities across Catholic Health, which includes six hospitals, continuing care services and its medical group, have also updated their names. The six Catholic Health hospitals are Good Samaritan Hospital, Mercy Hospital, St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center, St. Charles Hospital, St. Catherine of Siena

Hospital and St. Joseph Hospital. Continuing care services are offered at Good Samaritan Nursing & Rehabilitation, St. Catherine of Siena Nursing & Rehabilitation, Our Lady of Consolation Nursing & Rehabilitation, Good Shepherd Hospice and Catholic Health Home Care. Additionally, the medical group is now known as Catholic Health Physician Partners. Rebranding at Catholic Health comes at a time when the health system continues to expand its focus on core hospital services, such as cardiac care and oncology. Recently, Catholic Health’s St. Francis Heart Center opened at Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre, giving residents of Nassau County’s South Shore access to St. Francis’s renowned surgeons and medical teams close to home. “Our unwavering commitment to providing high quality safe care always placing the patient at the center of everything we do,” said Joe Carofano, Catholic Health’s Senior Vice President for Strategy and Chief Marketing Officer. “We’re a Long Island-based system focused on providing exceptional quality care to Long Islanders with continued growth in ambulatory services. We

continually anticipate the needs of our communities and develop long-lasting relationships.” As a member of the Roswell Park Care Network, one of New York’s premier cancer centers, Catholic Health has strengthened its commitment to providing outstanding cancer care. Oncology services are offered at all six hospitals. Cancer Institutes are available at Good Samaritan Hospital, Mercy Hospital, St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center® and St. Joseph Hospital. Catholic Health is also committed to providing Long Islanders quality care close to home with its growing network of ambulatory services throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties. The new integrated care facilities in Lake Success and West Babylon offer a multitude of services including primary care, cardiology and endocrinology under one roof. These new locations join the St. Francis Ambulatory Center in East Hills and St. Catherine & St. Charles Center for Health & Wellness in Commack in providing a host of medical services outside the hospital setting. “Never losing sight of the changing needs of the residents and

communities of Long Island, and delivering high quality and safe care where and when they need it is what it takes to maintain a leading role in health care on the island,” said Carofano. “What sets us apart is how we deliver care. At Catholic Health, we’re committed to creating outstanding comprehensive care, pairing our remarkable clinical abilities with the emotional support of home.” Additionally, Catholic Health offers CHS eVisit, which provides “virtual appointments” that allows for prompt care from the comfort of home. Using a phone, computer or tablet, CHS eVisit is designed for non-emergency medical issues, follow-up visits and new prescriptions or refills. Connection to CHS eVisit is done easily through a mobile app available for iPhone and Android platforms. Catholic Health is an integrated system encompassing some of the region’s finest health and human services agencies. With nearly 17,400 employees, six acute care hospitals, three nursing homes, a home nursing service, hospice and a network of physician practices, Catholic Health’s high standards have resulted in a 24 percent market share.

Nursing Home Staff Keeps Spirits Up During Pandemic

ursing homes in New York have largely not allowed visitation or group activities since March 2020, but recreation staff at some Long Island nursing and rehabilitation centers have had their creativity in overdrive, coming up with a variety of ways to keep residents active and social. Take the across-the-hallway cornhole games at Excel at Woodbury for Rehabilitation and Nursing. In fact, resident Stephen Sorensen still has a pretty good throw from his doorway. Corn hole competitions are held every Wednesday and usually get about a dozen participants. “Keeping our residents socially engaged is so important during this challenging time,” Excel Recreation Director Kim Gioia said. “It’s a good way to combat loneliness and gives everyone something to look forward to.” In addition to socially-distancing corn hole games, residents also play games of bingo and trivia while sitting in their doorway.

Josh Kovner, a therapeutic recreation assistant at Excel at Woodbury Rehabilitation and Nursing, brings his guitar to work and enjoys playing for the residents.

Personal and caring services that could be described as “acts of kindness” during these trying times are common. There’s Adelphi student Brianna Paino, who serves as a Concierge at Lynbrook Restorative Therapy and Nursing. Before COVID-19 protocols, the bakery in

the lobby was visited frequently by residents who wanted to get a sweet treat. But now Paino makes the bakery run for residents. Resident roommates Caroline Manna, 97, and Cornelia Mason, 76, look forward to getting their bakery items from Paino but even more, they

look forward to her visits. “It’s a small gesture that I enjoy doing for Mrs. Manor and Mrs. Mason and knowing that they look forward to my visits means so much to me,” said Paino. At Excel, some of the staff members with musical talent give impromptu concerts and the music is played throughout the facility. Josh Kovner, a therapeutic recreation assistant at Excel at Woodbury Rehabilitation and Nursing, brings his guitar to work and enjoys playing for the residents. “With COVID-19 rules still prohibiting visitors from the outside, we are doing all we can to give our residents opportunities for socializing, whether it’s through Facetime calls with families, or phone calls,” Excel Administrator Stacy Altman said. “Our staff goes above and beyond to provide them with whatever they need, whether it’s a cookie or a visit.

Hepatitis B: Donâ€™t Forget Me In the world of COVID, hepatitis B, a common and potentially deadly virus, should not be forgotten. It can cause both acute and chronic disease. Although not commonly seen, some people with acute hepatitis B may rapidly need to undergo a liver transplant to survive. Hepatitis B is commonly acquired from either sexual contact or through exposure to contaminated body fluids such as blood, saliva, semen, etc. Casual contact does not lead to the spread of hepatitis B.

However, close intimate contact with someone infected with Hepatitis B can lead to disease acquisition. Therefore, it is recommended that all household and close contacts of persons with hepatitis B be given the hepatitis B vaccine. The hepatitis B vaccine is given either in two injections over a two-month period or three injections over a sixmonth period. Once complete, person should be checked for immunity. Once immunity has been achieved, there is lifelong protection against hepatitis B. The incidence of acute hepatitis B has steadily declined in the U.S. likely due to widespread availability of vaccination. Despite this, chronic hepatitis B affects an estimated three to four hundred million people worldwide and more than two million Americans. It is most common in Asian-Americans and African-Americans. The prevalence of hepatitis B is higher in men than in women. Chronic hepatitis B is characterized in the blood by a positive hepatitis B surface antigen and the presence of hepatitis B virus in the blood. This condition is worrisome and people suffering from this virus have an increased chance of developing cirrhosis, liver

cancer and needing a liver transplantation due to liver failure. Therapy is available for people chronically infected with hepatitis B. Luckily, therapy is not indicated for all patients as the majority of patients will not develop significant progressive disease. A medical professional must determine who is an appropriate candidate for treatment as treatments may be costly and in many cases, is indefinite. Hepatitis B is not a curable disease and therefore the goal of therapy is to slow or prevent the progression of disease. The first approved therapy for hepatitis B was interferon, a naturally occurring substance whose function is to help rid the body of viral infection. Once weekly injections of pegylated

interferon for one yearâ€™s duration has been shown to be excellent first line therapy for the treatment of patients with low levels of hepatitis B virus in the blood and high liver enzymes. This therapy also appears to be more effective in the specific types of hepatitis B termed genotype A and B. Unfortunately, this therapy has significant side effects and is not well accepted by patients. Oral medications, such as entecavir and tenofovir, are available for treating hepatitis B. These are once-a-day medications which are well tolerated with minimal side effects. Once started, therapy for hepatitis B is usually lifelong. Therapy has been associated with an improvement in liver fibrosis, regression of cirrhosis and a decreased incidence of liver cancer. Usually, people on hepatitis B therapy need to be followed up with every six months for specific blood tests and abdominal imaging. Current therapies offer promise that we can control this common and deadly disease. There is significant research to develop treatments to cure hepatitis B but real cure is likely many years away from being available.

Yevin will also receive $100 from the National PTA as the contest winner. Each year, the National PTA selects one theme idea for its National PTA Reflections Contest. The PTA Reflections Contest challenges students from across the United States to create original works of art while reflecting on a specific theme. Students have the opportunity to submit art in the areas of dance choreography, film production, literature, music

composition, photography and visual arts. Yevin was encouraged by his ceramics teacher, Deja GomesVance, to submit his theme idea into the 2022-23 Reflections Theme Search Contest. During class, Gomes-Vance conducted a brainstorming session as part of the creative process and focused on past theme search winners. Her students thought about something significant that happened in the past year to help them formulate a possible theme for the next PTA Reflections Contest.

ANTON DINING

A Taste Of Italy BY STEVE MOSCO

smosco@antonmediagroup.com

t’s hard to imagine, but Italian food was once thought of as oddly esoteric—a strange “foreign” food eaten only by a small group of immigrants in the slums of New York City. Fast forward to today, and it’s even harder to imagine a week where one doesn’t eat something at least vaguely Italian. But how did Italian food become so popular? In celebration of National Italian Food Day on Feb. 13, let’s find out. For anyone born into an Italian family, pasta, red sauce, parmesan and the rest are as familiar as grandma wringing her hands together because she’s convinced you aren’t eating enough. It’s the stuff of Sunday dinner; almost always starting before 2 p.m. and usually involving some shape of pasta (for me, cavatelli, or “gavadeels”) and a dented pot of sauce filled with meatballs, sausage or, if you’re lucky, bracciole. Then there was the meat and potatoes dish, maybe a roast chicken, some string beans or broccoli rabe with oil and garlic. There might even be chicken parmesan, especially if your cousin Anthony was coming over because that’s the only thing the kid ate. And don’t forget about a half-dozen loaves of bread always within reach and a salad (eaten at the end of the meal). Wine, fruit and nuts aid digestion, before finishing off with coffee and cake. See you next Sunday.

That’s A Spicy History!

America wasn’t always like this. Before Italian immigrants began flowing in during the late 19th century, the dominant immigrant influx in America was of German origin. Instead of pasta, there was spaetzle; instead of meatballs, there was (German) sausage; and instead

of sauce, there was mustard. And it was all consumed with great fervor in cavernous beer halls. But then the Italians came, and between the 19th century and the 1920s, 4 million former citizens of the boot-shaped country came ashore. The waves of Italian immigrants passed through Ellis Island, some stopping in New York, and others heading west, all the while clutching their cultural identity through their cooking traditions. They went to New Orleans, where Sicilian workers piled meat on muffuliette rolls from their native region, inventing the Louisiana staple, a muffuletta sandwich. They stopped in Philadelphia, where a son of Italian immigrants put steak and cheese on an Italian roll, creating the Philly cheese steak. They made it out west to San Francisco, where Genoese fisherman adapted their Italian fish stew known as ciuppin into the San Francisco specialty cioppino, and where a chef invented Chicken Tetrazzini in the early 1900s in honor of an operatic soprano. Italian food was further popularized by soldiers

returning home after World War II. They brought back with them the irreparable craving for the foods they ate overseas and were met with enterprising immigrants who opened restaurants to satisfy that craving. And before America knew what happened, spaghetti, meatballs, sausage and peppers, lasagna, ravioli, and what we call pizza, was everywhere.

Lotsa Pasta-bilities

With modern day came the availability of a far greater array of Italian ingredients. Suddenly, the once-rare components of an Italian meal— Mozzarella di Bufala, Pecorino Romano, gnocchi, pancetta, black and white truffles, real extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pasta of all shapes and sizes—was all available at both specialty stores and at a growing number of run-of-the-mill supermarkets. Television food personalities, both with Italian-sounding last names and not-so-Italian sounding

names, became famous by teaching home cooks how to master the allday Sunday Sauce. And, perhaps most influential to the saturation of the cuisine, local pizzerias sprung up in nearly every strip mall, particularly in New York and on Long Island. These momand-pop pizza joints pulled more than pies from the oven, as they developed a flair for dishes like chicken marsala, Francese and, of course, parmesan. Unfortunately, they also convinced the public that anything sold with a side of marinara sauce could ostensibly be called “Italian.” But, all is forgiven, as mozzarella sticks, fried calamari and fried zucchini are too good to let anyone stay mad for too long.

Infinito

Thanks to the Internet, anyone with a computer and an Amazon account can order food products directly from Italy for their own feast. And to make it truly authentic, you need only set aside about six hours on a Sunday for dinner.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Few get excited to point a light into the basement to see what’s down there. In the literal sense, many only do it when they have to move. Some never do it at all. Figuratively, it’s the same. This week. you’ll ready yourself for change by dealing with past pain and whatever else is lodged in the subconscious. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The rules of this fascinating endeavor aren’t published in a book, posted on the gym wall or imparted by officials. The rules are unwritten and complex. Expect to break them. You’ll do so brazenly, discreetly, on purpose and by accident. Chalk it up to the learning that’s necessary for this task (so worth it)! GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your manic relationship with creative pursuits is really working for you now, and you’ll make progress quickly. Around May, you’ll be able to apply this week’s findings to making money or attracting fascinating social prospects. Know that you are acquiring gold now and should account for and protect it accordingly. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Either your work feels good and right to you, or it doesn’t -- and that is the only judgment you need to make. Additional considerations will be made by the people who need, use and value your contribution. So do your best, deliver it, and then take feedback. As for your own self-criticism, that’s just noise. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Grit is the small, loose particle that can have large, definite effectiveness, whether tossed in the eyes of an enemy, sprinkled to prevent a fall or thrown into the mix for the sake of traction. Grit is also the quality that gives you traction this week as you heave yourself with full determination at a difficult task. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The tone of an interaction is a collaborative creation but there is usually a leader. It doesn’t have to be you if you don’t feel up to it, but do not stand behind anyone who is going to do a lesser job of it than you would. Who can fulfill the potential of the moment? On the second thought, it probably does have to be you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll experience something so marvelous you’ll want to have it more -- own it even. But go slowly in this. A large portion of the joy may very well be in the first 12 experiences, which can be rented. Possession has downsides beyond expense, including storage, maintenance and the attraction of jealous eyes. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are battles going on that you are wise to sit out. Perhaps what’s at stake is inconsequential, or, more likely, not yours to fight. And what of the battle in your own heart? You can sit out even this one. The heart has its own rules and manner of sorting things out. Soon all will be settled for the highest good. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A support group will be key to your success. Marketers will put appealing groups of shining faces in your line of vision, and though all group affiliations have their cost, paying in dollars is only one way to go. The best group for you is asking for what you have plenty of -- interest, attention heartfelt generosity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s as though your mind is a party and there’s this one annoying party guest who persistently returns the conversation to a subject nobody is interested in. The thing to do is a reset, and then just don’t invite that guy. This can be accomplished by a pattern interrupt of some sort, ideally involving changed environs. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This heart that used to be lead-laden is now light enough to be stolen by a birthday balloon or lifted away by a migrating troupe of butterflies. Indeed, a mysterious vanishing of the sort will occur this week. Sensing its theft, “Where is my heart?” you’ll ask, all the while knowing the answer. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Justice is, by definition, going to be unpleasant for someone. Everything has its cost, and the price of wrongdoing is particularly steep. Some enjoy watching the reckoning, though not you -- not even when you’re the one vindicated! Compassion and empathy drive your forgiving heart as you avert your eyes.

Oyster Bay Opens Skating Facilities Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Michele Johnson announced that residents looking for a fun way to spend their winter recess can head to one of the town’s ice skating facilities, where holiday hours will be in place. “For a fun, social distanced activity, residents and their families can head out to one of the town’s ice skating rinks—outdoors at Marjorie Post and Syosset-Woodbury Community Parks, and indoors at the Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center in Bethpage,” Johnson said. “All three facilities will be offering special public sessions to provide children who are off from school with a fun-filled activity.” Beginning Monday, Feb. 15, through Friday, Feb. 19, all three rinks will offer the following holiday schedule: 10 a.m. to noon; 1 to 3 p.m.; 4 to 6 p.m.; and 7 to 9 p.m. On Sunday, Feb. 14, the indoor center will be open for the following public sessions: 1 to 3 p.m.; 4 to 6

p.m.; and 7 to 9 p.m. “Even during these unprecedented times, we want to ensure our residents and their families have recreational opportunities where they can stay safe and practice social distancing,” said Saladino. “We welcome families to our ice rinks to enjoy these special public sessions.” Capacity is limited at each location, and face masks must be worn at all times. The outdoor ice rinks are located at Marjorie Post Park, Unqua and Merrick Roads in Massapequa, and at SyossetWoodbury Community Park, 7900 Jericho Tpke. in Woodbury. The center is located within Bethpage Community Park at 1001 Stewart Ave. in Bethpage.
