TOP STORY

Getting To The Bottom Of The Assessment ‘Mess’

BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

N

othing affects Nassau County residents more than the value of their house. And over the past few years, a significant percentage have had something to be angry about.

Ever since a reassessment imposed by former County Executive Laura Curran, many taxpayers have seen the assessed value of their property skyrocket, translating into higher tax bills. Curran argued the new valuation was necessary after predecessor Edward Mangano froze the assessment rolls for much of his two terms. To ease the shock of higher tax bills, she got the state legislature to pass a law phasing-in the increases over five years.

Her Republican opponent in last year’s campaign, Bruce Blakeman, partially owed his close victory to continuously slamming Curran on the higher taxes brought on by what he called the botched assessment.

Former Comptroller Jack Schnirman issued an audit in December of the Assessment Review Commission (ARC), noting that it had handled a record number of grievances—in which residents officially challenge their home valuation. The report noted the county has a much higher percentage of properties that appeal their assessment compared to the national average (62 vs. 2). Sixty-nine percent successfully lower their assessed value, per the audit.

In a summary, the report noted, “Auditors estimate that over a billion dollars in tax burden has been shifted, while [tax grievance] firms made hundreds of millions in fees representing property taxpayers, due to the complexity of the Nassau County assessment system and the unprecedented number of assessed value grievances.”

Schnirman’s successor, Elaine Phillips, fulfilling a campaign promise, announced new audits of the county’s Department of Assessment on Feb. 15. The

Comptroller Elaine Phillips, at the podium, is flanked by, from left, Legislators Tom McKevitt and Steve Rhoads, County Executive Bruce Blakeman, and legislators Mazi Pilip and John Ferretti. (Office of the Comptroller) audit will look at assessment rolls for the years 2021 through 2024, and how the department handled the fiveyear phase-in.

“Nassau County taxpayers are confused and frustrated with our complex property assessment system,” Phillips said. “It’s my job, as the independent protector of Nassau County taxpayers and residents, to not only ensure that county departments are functioning properly and efficiently, but to see that taxpayers are being treated fairly.

This audit will help restore taxpayers’ confidence that their assessments are not only correct, but also fair.”

According to a press release, “The Comptroller’s Office will examine the systems and processes in place and recommend improvements that ensure the accuracy of property values listed on the rolls.

“I want to commend Comptroller Phillips in fulfilling her promise to the taxpayers to do this reassessment audit,” said Blakeman, who joined Phillips at the press conference. “Property assessment is one of the most important issues facing Nassau County right now. We know that the reassessment system and process is broken. Comptroller Phillips’ independent audit is essential, and will provide critical information my colleagues on the legislature and I need to help make the county’s reassessment more fair, accurate and transparent.”

Phillips related that in her campaign travels last year, she heard from many residents about the lack of understanding “...on how the reassessment was done, a lack of understanding of their tax bills and confusion and frustration about the whole process.”

Phillips noted her predecessor’s audit of the ARC took most of his four-year term.

She did promise to take smaller studies that would take up less time.

“When you go in and do

This audit will help restore taxpayers’ confidence that their assessments are not only correct, but also fair.

—Comptroller Elaine Phillips

an audit you have to keep an open mind,” she observed.

“You have to go in there not saying, ‘I’m going to do exactly this,’ because depending on the information that you find, the audit could evolve.

Our first task will be to look at the 2021 tax roll. That’s the tax roll where the reassessment was done. This was a mass appraisal reassessment. We need to go in and look at what that means. What was the methodology? What was the process that was done in this mass appraisal?”

The comptroller said her

auditors would look at how the various exemptions were applied, how the phase-in affected the tax roll and the distribution between residential and commercial taxes.

“I’d love to say we’re going to have a report in the next six months. It will depend on what we find,” she said.

Blakeman gave examples of the unfairness of assessment, in which “...properties that are identical in places like Massapequa, two homes both 1,400 square feet same vinyl siding same lot size.

Everything is identical, but one property is assessed at 40 percent more than the other.

It doesn’t make sense. And we know there are properties three and a half million dollars and more that are not paying any taxes due reassessment. How can that be fair? How can that be right?

It’s not.”

He claimed that Curran’s reassessment wasn’t transparent and “...we still don’t know everything that went wrong. And that’s why this audit is essential to me as the county executive and to my colleagues on the legislature as we go forward and we have to come up with a solution for the reassessment. It will be a tool for us or road map to see what went wrong and then we can figure out how to fix it.”

Blakeman warned there is no “magic pill or silver bullet” to solving the assessment problem.

Legislator Steve Rhoads thanked Presiding Officer

Rich Nicolello for creating a separate legislative committee designated to handle the issues of assessment, which Rhoads chaired.

“What we wanted as a legislative majority was a process that was fair, accurate and transparent,” Rhoads stated. “Unfortunately, what we received over the course of the last four years was anything but. We received a process that was difficult to understand and that contains hundreds of thousands of errors.”

He noted homeowners had to sue in order to get the assessment department to reveal the proprietary algorithm used to determine valuation.

Regarding the audit process, Phillips observed, “During the interview process, as auditors we need to be respectful. We want the hard-working people in the Department of Assessment to be able to do their real job.”

The auditors would also speak to firms who handle residential and commercial grievances, she said, Phillips said the aim of the audits was to “...make sure every taxpayer in Nassau County understands what happened In that reassessment. Then the decision-makers behind me can make the appropriate decisions going forward.”

“Right now, if there’s someone out there who believes there’s way too much, what do they do in the meantime?” a reporter asked the elected officials.

“Unfortunately, the only relief the people have is to grieve their taxes and they’re doing that,” Blakeman said.

“We’re not going to discourage them from doing that.

That’s something that each individual taxpayer has to make a decision for themselves. The promise from us elected officials is that we fix it and we do it in a way that’s fair, accurate and transparent.”

Hicksville Water District Encourages Residents To Install EyeOnWater App App best way to digitally keep track of water usage

W

ith the district-wide switch from standard water meters to new smart meters in full effect, the Hicksville Water District (HWD) reminds residents of the benefits of using the EyeOnWater app. This app is free to download and once it’s downloaded and a profile is set up, it is the best way to monitor water usage as it can provide real-time access and updates from any smartphone or computer.

“Water is our most precious resource and it is vital that we are more aware of how much we are using,” HWD Chairman Nicholas Brigandi said. “Whether you are at home or on the other side of the planet, EyeOnWater is the perfect tool to help track water usage, while also being able to be informed about peaks or other sharp increases in usage.”

Not only does the EyeOnWater app help save residents water, but it also helps them save money. One of the greatest benefits of EyeOnWater is its ability for residents to receive alerts of any abnormalities in water usage,

particularly in the event of a significant spike in water being registered through the water meter.

These spike events can be indicative of a water leak, which can oftentimes go undetected for extended periods of time. With the app, these situations can be identified and addressed in an expeditious manner before any potential damage is done.

Winter is the perfect time to install the EyeOnWater app. With so many people leaving home to vacation in warmer places, water systems are oftentimes left unmonitored by residents. This becomes a non-issue with EyeOnWater, since you do not need to be home to notice water usage abnormalities.

Additionally, you can use the app to see your water usage history, view your usage trends and personalize a water savings plan. With everything the EyeOnWater app provides, it has never been easier to save water and both the natural environment and your wallet will be better off for it.

Lincoln At Cooper Union: The Road To The White House

BY JOE SCOTCHIE

I

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

f George Washington took advantage of his time on the New York stage, the same is true of Abraham Lincoln.

It’s hard to imagine, but Lincoln going into the cataclysmic 1860 election was not a household word. Lincoln had already lost his most recent race, the legendary 1858 Illinois senate campaign between Stephen A. Douglas and himself. Along the way, however, he earned devoted followers among the GOP faithful.

Lincoln came out of nowhere to receive the Republican Party’s 1860 nomination. “I have a taste for it,” he said, when asked if he was interested in being the fledging party’s standard bearer. Few people gave him a chance.

The GOP’s field for the 1860 campaign was in turmoil. Party leaders and the Republican newspapers were unhappy with the candidates, especially New York’s William Henry Seward, who was considered too extreme and too confrontational to win the White House. Seward needed to be defeated in his home state.

On Feb. 2, 1860, Lincoln was invited to give an address before the Young Men’s Central Republican Union of New York. The speech was originally scheduled to take place at Henry Ward Beecher’s Plymouth Church in Brooklyn. It was soon rescheduled for Cooper Union in Manhattan. This was a most fortuitous development. A speech in Brooklyn would have garnered press attention. In Manhattan, however, Lincoln was able to reach a cultural, political and financial elite, exactly the forces that can propel an unknown into national politics.

Among the speakers preceding Lincoln were Horace Greeley, editor of The New York Tribune and he of “go west, young man” fame and Roslyn’s own William Cullen Bryant, famed poet, noted abolitionist and editor of The New York Evening Post. The presence of these two gave instant credibility to Lincoln’s political ambitions.

Lincoln was a born politician—and a born rhetor. He wrote his own speeches, memorable for their brevity and pointed statements. The Cooper Union address was different in that its length—7,000 words—was significantly greater than the average Lincoln speech.

To understand Abraham Lincoln, one must know Henry Clay. Without Clay, there probably never would have been the Lincoln that history knows. What Lincoln shared with

conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?” he asked, distancing himself from extremists in both parties.

Compromise aside, Lincoln called for firmness in the face of America’s greatest crisis.

“Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves,” he concluded.

“Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.”

The speech was a resounding success. David Herbert Donald, one of Lincoln’s more accomplished biographers, claimed the man’s entire political career was on the line. A failure and Lincoln returns to oblivion. The speech worked because it gave the Republicans a middle ground candidate, one who was anti-slavery, but The Cooper Union’sfoundation building north side willing to compromise and dialogue (Photo Source Wikimedia Commons) with southern slave owners. Lincoln’s protectionism decisively put the GOP on the popular side of an issue that was even more divisive than slavery.

The speech was greeted with a rousing ovation, with attendees waving handkerchiefs and hats. The text was reprinted in newspapers across the country. Greeley hailed Lincoln as “one of Nature’s great orators, using his rare powers solely and efficiency to elucidate and to convince, through their inevitable effects is to delight and electrify as well.”

The GOP had found their man.

With the Democratic Party in turmoil, Lincoln was elected president with 40 percent of the vote. The Republican Abraham Lincoln’s Cooper Union Party was now established as a governspeech on Feb. 2, 1860 launched ing party. The speech was the easy part.

February 2022 Business of the Month

aggie Tanchuck and her husband Hugh are no strangers to Glen Head, as well as to the North Shore area. She became familiar with the community over the course of her entire life, as her grandfather served as the chief of the Glen Cove Police for 42 years and the Caggiano family had owned and operated J&J Jewels for 50 years.

“I have deep roots in the community, here on the North Shore,” Tanchuck said. “I have always loved being a small business in this community.”

At North Shore Monuments, Tanchuck is focused on continuing to grow the company that originated in Odessa, Ukraine, moved to the Bronx and then, Huntington and finally to Glen Head, where it has been serving the community since 1987.

Initially, the Tanchucks rented a small space in Greenvale, but moved to Glen Head in 1990.

“We always wanted to be the local monument deal, serving the community so people did not have to leave town to purchase a monument for their loved one,” Tanchuck said.

The Tanchucks’ business has always been diversified, having always produced monuments; however, they also help the not-for-profit business community with a donor recognition engraved brick program, beginning in 1995.

“We have helped raise millions of dollars in communities across Long Island,” Tanchuck said. “The engraved brick business brought us into the masonry business, where our company could offer our clients full service on the building patios and walkways. The masonry business brought us further into the world of construction when we started to connect with more architects who saw our unique skill sets engraving monuments, masonry and soon thereafter, stone facades and stone restoration.”

After Sept. 11, 2001, the business grew as a community monument company, creating many large community monuments honoring those lost. Sept. 11 changed the monument industry, as very large monuments were designed into the fabric of communities around the Tri-State area.

“We started meeting many architects and design teams which brought us closer into the construction world,” Tanchuck said.

The first major construction job for the Tanchucks came in the form of the front stone façade at the Polo Ralph Lauren Flagship store on

Maggie and Hugh Tanchuck. (Contributed photo) Greenwich Ave in Connecticut. They received a lot of recognition on this job for their unique stone installation skills and craftsmanship.

In 2009, the Tanchucks opened their sister company, North Shore Architectural Stone, as their construction division. They expanded their space to 66 Glen Head Rd, where they held many “lunch and learn” programs for architects to earn continuing education credits. This initiative created an opportunity to expand their network of architects

and bid on New York City stone construction jobs.

The expansion, Tanchuck said, “... was a very big leap from our little monument company, but we rose to the occasion, expanded our team and honed their skills. For the past 12 years we have built a lot of very cool projects around Manhattan and restored a lot of historic bronze and stone.”

To date, the biggest project completed by North Shore Architectural Stone is a six-floor limestone

townhouse on 72nd and Madison, where the team completed a restoration of the entire front façade and made new to match the existing.

“They [the building owners] loved our work so much on the exterior they took us on the interior as well where we built 14 fireplaces, three pools and an interior stone baseball court for this family of three.”

Tanchuck said.

The pandemic has brought the Tanchucks and their team back to their roots at North Shore Monuments, where they continue to serve the community as the local monument company. New York City construction has slowed a little, but monuments have understandably picked up. The focus at North Shore Monuments has always been on community and on providing compassionate advice to grieving families. The construction jobs are more glamorous and exciting but monuments are the company’s strong foundation.

In the community, the Tanchucks have always been active in many organizations over the course of many years. Currently, the Tanchucks hold a business membership to North Shore Biz Network and other trade organizations.

Previously, Hugh served as president of Kiwanis, and Maggie and her assistant, Lisa, met as co-presidents at the Center for Parents and Children. Maggie also campaigned successfully in front of the North Shore Schools board to establish their after-school program. Additionally, Hugh initially organized and took charge of the Kiwanis Nassau-Suffolk bike tour, before turning over leadership — the event continues to raise funds for the North Shore pediatric trauma center. Fundraising and being a part of the community has always been part of doing business for the Tanchucks.

Outside of work, Maggie enjoys Bikram yoga, hot Pilates and tennis.

She also enjoys cooking and visiting local restaurants.

The Tanchucks love living and working in the community in which they grew up.

“Seeing familiar faces and helping friends and neighbors build monuments and unique projects in stone keep us busy and give us purpose,” Tanchuck said. “We all really love the work we do and look forward to being a part of your next project in stone.”

Flower Hill Mayor Opposes Housing Plan

BY JOE SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

E

lections in the Village of Flower Hill are set for March 15. The Flower Hill Party has hit the ground running, with its officials submitting the 150-plus signatures needed to support their slate of candidates.

For now, however, Mayor Brian Herrington and the board have a more pressing issue on their hands.

Last week, Herrington posted an open letter on the village website to village residents opposing the Accessory Dwelling Unit Proposal in the New York State budget.

“I am writing to share with you our concerns about a provision in this year’s state budget that could have profound negative effects on our community and assure you that the board and I are vocally opposing it,” he wrote. “Currently as proposed, the governor’s budget would require every city, town, and village (except New York City) to amend their zoning codes to permit accessory housing units (ACU) in all residential zoned parcels. It would also require the village to allow 25 units of housing on one-acre residential parcels within a half mile of a transit hub, like a LIRR train station.”

He added, “The proposal directly undermines the local zoning powers granted to our village through the New York State Constitution.

Additionally, it negates years of carefully thought-out planning and zoning while potentially inundating our community with development and population growth. It will create real quality-of-life and environmental issues including great pressure on our public water supply, sewer and septic systems, public education with increased student populations, policing, traffic, and code enforcement.”

“Every village sets its own goals and develops its own overall plan,” the letter concluded. “Local elected officials work with our residents to deal with problems and challenges in their community. If local boards think that the governor’s proposals have merit, they can enact them. If the governor believes that these proposals are very important, maybe incentives could be given to local governments that believe these programs are something good for their community.”

Herrington urged village residents to contact State Senator Anna Kaplan

already one of the highest taxes areas in the country and our village has effectively fought to keep taxes low maintaining little to no tax increase over the last few years.”

Meanwhile, Roslyn resident and current deputy mayor Randall Rosenbaum is running for mayor.

“I am excited to announce my “I am greatly concerned about the impacts this…will have on our already candidacy for mayor,” Rosenbaum said. “Having held many different overcrowded and outdated infrapositions within the village starting on structure that struggles to support the zoning board, moving to the board our existing housing stock,” the letter read. “Widespread accessory housing of trustees and then being appointed deputy mayor, I have a wealth of and 25 units per acre transit housing experience and ideas to help improve would put even greater pressure on our village.

Given my first priority is to my family, this now leaves me with an inadequate time to dedicate to the Village and has led me to the decision to take a step back from mayor.

Over my one term in office, I have led our community through two major storms and a pandemic. I am proud to have helped our community through these challenging events but I am most proud of our efforts to expand engagement with the community.

We have brought new faces onto our board of trustees, created committees that have helped to increase resident participation, established a Village Volunteer Corps, and modernized our communications tools through more frequent email, phone and webpage updates.”

The village election will be held on Tuesday, March 15, at Flower Hill Village Hall, 1 Bonnie Heights Rd. with polls open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Black History Month Scavenger Game During the month of February, young students are learning about Black history with an interactive challenge called the Black History Month Scavenger Game.

Each day, classroom teachers receive three envelopes with clues about a celebrated Black American.

After the name of the person is revealed, the class searches for a photo of that person in the halls.

Next to each photo is a QR code, which the teacher scans to access a video about the person to show students when they return to their classroom.

“It’s a fun way to introduce students to great Black Americans such as Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., President Barack Obama and

young poet Amanda Gorman,” Heights School Principal Mary Wood said. “The children really enjoy learning how they lived

and the achievements they made and the game makes for a great team-building exercise.”

Grunge: The Music Genre That Defined Generations T

he music world recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of grunge and many Jericho High School students and staff took notice.

Grunge, which originated in Seattle, Wash., in the late 1980s, wasn’t widely recognized until a decade later when artists such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains released albums and songs that reached mainstream audiences.

This genre has captivated listeners for decades with hit albums such as Nirvana’s Nevermind, Pearl Jam’s Ten, Soundgarden’s Badmotorfinger and Alice In Chains’ Dirt. These releases rose to the top of charts and won several awards.

Some Jericho High School teachers have loved listening to grunge music since the early 1990s.

Forensics teacher Angela Cancemi said, “Nineties alternative is my favorite type of music because it was different at the time and it wasn’t like the pop music from the 1980s.”

Grunge spoke to the youth when it first gained popularity. Music teacher Michael Blutman, who listened to grunge during its popular stage in the ‘90s, said that grunge came out when he was in

middle school, so this genre of music impacted his adolescence.

Grunge has impacted how music is written and composed. Later in the ‘90s, a genre called post-grunge appeared. This combined the elements of grunge with a mixture of rock & roll and pop music. Some bands, like Foo Fighters, Creed, and Matchbox Twenty became the pioneers in this genre and went on to influence other musicians years later.

Today, ‘90s grunge bands are remembered by many people, especially students, through their merchandise that is still sold. Sophomore Pranavi K. said, “I think most students wear T-shirts of grunge bands because they recognize the symbol, not the music. This is ironic because of grunge’s roots, starting in anti-capitalism and anti-consumerism.”

It is clear that grunge has impacted today’s music by inspiring many artists that came after the Michael Blutman proudly holds a bag from Tower genre’s peak . It seems that grunge will live on for Records, a storied defunct chain of record stores years to come. that sold many grunge records in the early ‘90s.

Hometown Humanitarian Gets Who’s Who In America Nod

Local weight loss doctor receives lifetime achievement award

BY TYLER MROCZEK

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

A

Farmingdale physician’s lifetime of good deeds has gotten him recognized by Who’s Who in America, an organization that selects individuals who excel in their professions and devote their careers to helping others.

Dr. Len Vigliatore is no regular doctor. The Columbia University alum is a board-certified naturopathic physician with a specialty in weight loss and sports nutrition. However, his involvement with supporting his hometown community of Farmingdale is what sets him apart.

“There’s a saying that when you walk into the office, you leave your ego and personal life at the door,” Vigliatore explained. “You see people who have major obstacles or challenges and your job is to try and help them however you can.”

Vigliatore is actively involved in the Christian Children’s Fund, The

Dr. Len Vigliatore

Leukemia Society and the Saint Patrick’s Soup Kitchen in Bay Shore, though he says his role as a doctor has very little impact on his philanthropic passions.

“This is the way everyone should be,” Vigliatore remarked. “I dedicate a third of my practice to giving back

to the community. So, roughly every third session I don’t charge, because I believe people deserve help.”

Vigliatore shares his Farmingdale office with Dr. Lawrence Lembo, where the pair primarily work with patients on weight loss and athletic ventures.

According to Vigliatore, Who’s Who in America selects less than 1 percent of the population to be recognized for their professional accomplishments.

The organization’s most distinguished honor is their Lifetime Achievement Award, granted to individuals who are selected at least three times for recognition.

Vigliatore’s selection for the 2022 edition makes him a qualified candidate for the Lifetime Achievement honor. He was originally selected back in the 1980s and the 1990s, which makes this his third official submission.

When questioned about his initial reaction to the award, Vigliatore jokingly said “my first thoughts were ‘must be a slow year.’”

In a more heartfelt confession, he shared that he believes his colleague is just as deserving of the honor.

“He’s a much better person than I am,” Vigliatore chuckled. “It’s been a privilege to work with Dr. Lembo, who is a true professional in every way.”

In addition to his impressive career in the medical field, Vigliatore is also a black belt in taekwondo and an active donor to churches and food banks. He cites his biggest inspiration for working so tirelessly to his father.

“The reason I wanted to share this story with my local community is because my parents are deceased, though there are neighbors and generations of families that are still in that town that remember my father,” Vigliatore said.

“He was involved in everything.”

“There’s no shortage of man’s inhumanity to man,” Vigliatore sighed.

“Do your part to make the world a better place.”

New Jewish Day School Opening In Plainview A

new Jewish day school will open in September 2022 in Plainview.

The new yeshiva—Mercaz Academy—will continue the uniquely welcoming educational path which has been the successful signature style of the Plainview campus of the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County (HANC), which Mercaz will buy and operate independently as an Orthodox nursery and elementary school after this coming school year. Mercaz will also blaze its own trail in expanding student services and educational offerings while taking academic excellence to new heights.

Mercaz, meaning “center” in Hebrew, selected its name to reflect various important features of the new school. Not only is the campus centrally located on Long Island, to serve a large Jewish population of families who span the spectrum of religious observance, but “Mercaz” also reflects the school’s central role as a pivotal component of Long Island Jewish life.

Jewish families in central and eastern Nassau and in western Suffolk look forward to enrolling their children in Mercaz and eagerly anticipate its exceptional educational atmosphere.

Jodi Gallaer, a current HANC-Plainview parent, is among them.

“Living in Commack, the only Jewish day school option within the free busing range is HANC-Plainview,” Gallaer said. “If it would have closed, we would have been left without Jewish education for our son. We are thrilled that Mercaz Academy will be opening in its place to ensure my family and all of the families in my area will continue to receive outstanding Jewish and secular education on the campus my son already considers his second home.”

Mercaz Academy will provide a religious and secular education to students, from toddlers through sixth grade, and will serve parents in ways that parents rightfully view as essential components of the Jewish day school experience. With enhanced and innovative offerings, Mercaz will provide a center of academic excellence to educate students according to their individual capabilities and talents and develop the whole child emotionally as well. Frank Haftel, a current HANCPlainview parent with three children who have graduated from the elementary school and one child entering third grade, embraces the change.

“The middle school teachers

Mercaz Academy will provide their students a religious and secular education. constantly say that the students from this elementary school are very well prepared for middle school, proving the academic success at the elementary level of the Plainview campus, which I am confident will continue and even improve,” Haftel observed. “If anything, Mercaz will be even better than what exists today.”

Dr. Craig and Ora Fryman, a physician and a science writer who recently moved to Plainview, shared their enthusiasm about Mercaz Academy’s academics as well. “Being scientists, it was a requirement to us that the school we send our sons to has an excellent STEM program. When we learned more about Mercaz Academy, and its curriculum’s strong emphasis on math, engineering, technology, and art, we were comfortable committing to a school for our sons. We’re so happy to know that he will have a stellar education both in terms of secular and Judaic studies.”

Mercaz Academy’s ambitious mission is matched by its facilities.

The spacious building has undergone a major, recent renovation. It houses rooms and spaces dedicated to science, technology, art and indoor play, supplemented by its large gymnasium and auditorium. The campus boasts a baseball field, basketball courts and playgrounds that surround the school, with space to add more features soon.

“The building was previously a public school with large classrooms that accommodate uncrowded classes,” school guidance counselor and former HANC-Plainview parent said. “When walking through the halls, it’s clear that every inch of the school is utilized to its

maximum potential.”

Mercaz is proud to assume a centrist position in the Orthodox world.

With an outstanding reputation for welcoming families into an embracing and non-judgmental Orthodox Jewish environment, Mercaz will enthusiastically continue its non-polarizing tradition of providing a gateway for families who seek for their children an education steeped in Jewish values and learning that is simultaneously ancient, highly relevant and rewarding, while nurturing an atmosphere of community and family among its multifaceted parent body.

Melissa Refael, a parent of an incoming first grader shared, “Neither I nor my husband went to yeshiva as children but sending our son to a Jewish day school was paramount for us. We were not sure if an orthodox school would be right for us. But the minute we stepped onto the campus and met the teachers and staff, we felt welcomed into an amazing family and the decision was made easily. We have been very happy with our decision.”

The Hebrew language is a deliberate focal point of the name. The prominence of Hebrew in the name demonstrates the school’s unifying connection to Israel and to Jewish life both across the world and across the ages. As such, the name Mercaz demonstrates the school’s commitment to modernity and to timelessness, as well as its unbreakable bond with Israel and the Jewish community.

As Mercaz organizes for its opening day, parents and the general community are volunteering to serve on its board of trustees and board of education.

The outpouring of support is just one indication Mercaz is ready for the long haul. It is carefully charting a plan for financial stability, with the needs of parents and the community in mind.

Gary Katz, a long-time resident of Plainview, and one of the community leaders spearheading the project, shared that he and his wife Shelley are excited to be part of a larger team of families dedicated to making improvements on top of the already strong bedrock that exists at the school today.

“We have other parties interested in naming opportunities and other educational programs that will fund the ongoing operations of Mercaz Academy for years to come,” Katz said.

“We are all in this for the long-term and are confident Mercaz Academy will be a financially sound center of academic excellence for generations of children on Long Island.”

Excitement for this new school radiates deeply into the classrooms, too.

Mercaz has launched a logo contest to encourage ideas for its new look. Along with creative submissions from adults, the logo contest has ignited enthusiasm from students for the launching of Mercaz.

Dozens of heart-warming and adorable logo designs were crafted by children in first through sixth grades and even from those in the early childhood center. With support like this, and with God’s help, Mercaz is guaranteed to succeed. Visit www.mercazacademy.org to learn more about Mercaz Academy and for contact information.

Modernizing The Library-Going Experience

Island Trees community reaping benefits of multi-million dollar project

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

I

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

f the purpose of a public library is to serve as a hub for a community, consider Island Trees Public Library Director Michelle Young its gatekeeper.

It’s a role she’s held for the past five years, a crucial bit of kismet for this lifelong lover of books who came along in 2017, the year after a bond was passed giving the green light to embark on a new $7 million build on the site of the old structure. The new project was ambitious to grow the old library from 7,400-square feet to its current footprint of 20,000-square feet, which includes going from a 45-person maximum community room to an over-sized 300-person community room with state-of-the-art A/V lighting and sound system. Timing being what it was, everything kicked off in March 2020—the same time COVID-19 descended on the world. And while this could have proved to be as disastrous a bit of timing as it was for the rest of the world, Young was surprised to see how it all seemingly gibed with what was happening in Island Trees.

“What happened was that we had planned on closing the library for three weeks because they had to asbestos abate an entire side of the building,” Young recalled. “The same week [pandemic shutdowns started happening], we were already preparing to work at home and close when COVID-19 hit.

We closed a week sooner than we were going to because of the pandemic. We didn’t reopen to the public until the summer and during that whole time, the library was being built, so it wasn’t such a bad thing.”

The entire new build took a year and a half to complete, with plans to move furniture and the library’s roughly 54,000 books back in, a three-month process that ran from April to July 2021.

And while there was a point where the project was ahead of schedule, the pandemic threw up certain supply chain issues, like drywall shortages and 17 magazine shelves being on back-order for eight months. Considered an essential worker, Young went to the site on a regular basis and was continually impressed by the drive and dedication of all those involved.

“I watched it as it was getting built and I got to know all the people working on it,” the Merrick native explained.

“I think everyone involved sacrificed a

Island Trees Public Library Director Michelle Young (Photo by Don Patane) lot to get this thing moving throughout the whole pandemic. There were just so many people that were involved with this and it wouldn’t have been possible without any of them—people at the school, construction companies, sub-contractors, architects from the firm and sub-contractors. They were all integral to the project. I’m sure they had a lot of challenges, but they kept going. But you know what? We were building something beautiful at a time that was very dark.”

The Island Trees Public Library had a September 2021 soft opening, followed by a ribbon-cutting the following month. The 27-year library veteran can barely contain her glee over the new amenities available to the community that includes significantly more space and considerable tech upgrades. The new space has dozens of locations for plugging in electronic devices and free circulating WiFi hot spots both indoors as well as outdoors on the library’s patio. Oversized study pods are available for groups to meet in as well as areas in the library for quiet individual study. Patrons can tap into a diverse collection available in both traditional print book formats as well as downloadable eBooks and audio books, graphic novels and services like HOOPLA for streaming movies

and music. Free museum passes are available and there is even a telescope astronomy fans can check out and take home for their stargazing needs.

A lifelong Long Islander, Young and her family have called Rockville Centre home for the past few decades. She received a Bachelor’s degree (BA) from Hofstra University in English and Marketing, followed by a Master’s in Library Science (MLS) from Queens College. Young also holds a Post-Graduate Certificate of Advanced Studies in Public Library Administration from L.I.U. Post/Palmer School, The College of Education, Information and Technology. It all adds up to the self-described fulfillment of a dream, particularly given the potential this library offers to the Island Trees community.

“The amount of flexibility we’re being given now is sort of ‘the sky is the limit’ at the moment,” she said.

“Because we went virtual, we now have a virtual audience that is not going away. Because I’m part of the Chamber of Commerce, I have the room to do a business fair. I wouldn’t mind hosting some more community events for different groups that we weren’t able to do. A group that has 60 people in it wouldn’t be able to come to the old library and I’d like to invite more groups

in order to get more connected to the community. Since we have this space, I want people to take advantage of it.”

All the more impressive for Young is the enormous financial commitment involved in such a large-scale project and what it says about the residents who pushed for it.

“When you build a brand-new library like this, your community is saying what’s important to it,” she said.

“Learning is important. Education is important. It shows a positive attitude and that everyone is thinking forward and not backwards.”

Asked to describe this new experience to the uninitiated, Young was quick to say, “I describe this library to those who have been to the old one that it’s like that black and white to Technicolor moment Dorothy experiences in The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy goes from Kansas to Oz. But despite how brand-new everything is, it’s the same [30-person] staff. They love the community, so when people come in, they’ll feel welcome because our staff still knows everybody. It’s the same people, just a brand-new background.”

Artists Explore New Art Medium

BY NATALIA VENTURA

nventura@antonmediagroup.com

F

ormer Sea Cliff residents Andy Gertler and Sue Beatrice crafted a lion and lioness sculpture out of cardboard. This was the first time they developed a complete and structured sculpture from cardboard.

Gertler specialized in the ephemeral arts and has worked with various materials.

“I was a professional sand sculptor, and ice carver for over 25 years,” Gertler stated.

Beatrice was involved in the toy industry as a sculptor for about 30 years. She has worked for industries such as Disney, and Warner Bros. Over time together, they have collaborated their techniques and taken on new mediums.

“It helped us merge techniques that we both had from varied types of products that we’ve worked on in the past,” Beatrice said. “It was interesting finding ways to blend that. He comes from a background where he does enormous monumental pieces and I’ve done micro-miniatures. So it’s interesting how we’ve learned to work on all scales that way.”

As part of Beatrice’s miniature works, she crafts various designs and scenes within pocket watches. For some time, Gertler hosted the travel channel show Sand Masters.

Due to the physical labor of Gertler’s sand sculptures, they wanted to discover a new medium that could be done at home or within their shops.

This eventually led to their curiosity of using cardboard. According to Beatrice, using this material also allowed them to create art that was “clean, safe and environmentally friendly” by using recycled cardboard.

Prior to touching the material, they dedicated time to planning the image of their sculpture.

“We spent a lot of time researching and collecting reference images. We were looking at African tapestries for the base to decide the exact composition. There’s a lot of planning that goes into it before we even touch the material,” Beatrice stated.

After completing their extensive research, the building process would start from the center and be worked on outward. The skulls of the lion and lioness were made first, then the musculature details around the skulls.

Then the fur was added. This sculpture is strong and sturdy due to the small piece of wood used within the base for stability. Other than the little amount of wood, the whole sculpture is made

from cardboard.

“That’s the beauty of cardboard. It’s a very pliable material. We are actually amazed with what we can do,” Gertler said.

They plan on continuing to work with cardboard to create more sculptures.

“Our plan now is to maybe make 10

to 12 of these sculptures,” Gertler said.

“When the pieces are done, we are hoping to get them into a gallery or a traveling show,” Beatrice added.

The next cardboard sculpture will be a life-sized baby elephant. They are also interested in sharing how to craft cardboard sculptures through a patreon page they plan on starting.

This miniature piece was crafted

by Sue Beatrice, and is titled “Rain.” She wanted to see how far she could push the illusion of depth in her work.

Caution When Selling A Vehicle The Glen Cove Police are warning those using online sites such as Facebook Marketplace when selling a vehicle.

Massapequa Resident Named Company Grade Officer Of The Year

Captain Joseph Nolan serves with 106th Rescue Wing at Gabreski Air National Guard Base

M

assapequa resident and Air National Guard Captain Joseph Nolan has been named Company Grade Officer of the Year for the 5,900-member New York Air National Guard.

Nolan, who serves in the 106th Medical Group of the 106th Rescue Wing, is a fulltime medical administrative officer.

During the past year, he has played a key role in the wing’s participation in the New York National Guard COVID-19 response mission.

The Company Grade Officer of the Year Award is presented to a junior officer who exhibits outstanding leadership abilities, job performance and personal achievement which sets them apart from their peers.

Nolan competed with nominees from four other New York Air National Guard wings and the Eastern Air Defense Sector for the honor.

The 106th Rescue Wing, based at Gabreski Air National Guard Base in Westhampton Beach, operates the HC-130J Combat King II search and rescue aircraft and the HH-60G Pave Hawk rescue helicopter and is home to a special warfare squadron, specializing in rescue and recovery. The wing is also supporting COVID-19 response missions.

Nolan has been extremely versatile and unselfish as displayed by the myriad of jobs and tasks that he did over the last year ranging from wing public affairs, moving back to the Medical Corps and being a leader on the COVID mission,” said Colonel Shawn Fitzgerald, commander of the 106th Rescue Wing.

“I’m proud that all of his hard work and dedication were recognized at the state level and I’m excited to see where the future takes him as he continues his military career,” Fitzgerald added.

“It’s always nice to be recognized by your colleagues,

but the fact is, it’s much more a reflection of the team I’m surrounded by,” Nolan said.

“I’m fortunate to be working under great leadership and have the best troops under my supervision-both here at the medical group and while I was assigned to the COVID mission,” Nolan added.

Nolan joined the New York Air National Guard in 2012 and was commissioned as a Medical Service Corps officer in 2013.

He initially served in the 109th Airlift Wing based in Scotia and transferred to the 106th Rescue Wing in 2019.

Nolan served briefly as a public affairs officer, supporting the COVID-19 mission, before moving into his current position.

Nolan also led more than 125 Airmen and Soldiers conducting testing, vaccinations and alternate care

facility security missions and dealt with state and federal agencies as part of the COVID-19 mission.

Nolan developed a plan for

training in combat casualty treatment for the wing’s Airmen and has planned for a 40 Airman medical training mission in Alaska.

Nolan also led the 2021 New York Operation Turkey Drop event for the wing, delivering free turkeys and Thanksgiving packages to underprivileged families.

Nolan has deployed as part of the response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, in support of operations in Afghanistan with the 779th Aeromedical Staging Squadron. He served as the officer in charge of the state COVID-19 vaccination site at Jones Beach and director of staff at the New York National Guard command post for operations on Long Island.

Being named the top junior officer in the New York Air National Guard puts Nolan in the running to compete against the other top officers from 53 other states and territories.

Emergency Repairs At Garden City Firehouse

T

he board of trustees has engaged PAR Environmental Corporation for asbestos abatement at Firehouse No. 2 (Edgemere) at a cost of $255,500. The board also engaged Seaboard Weatherproofing & Restoration for temporary weatherproofing and masonry work at the firehouse at a cost of $370,768. At the Oct. 21, meeting, trustees declared an emergency to exempt from competitive bidding the emergency repairs that relate to the health and safety of the firefighters. Cameron Engineering was engaged to identify such emergency work. Although the emergency action was exempt from competitive bidding, Mayor Cosmo Veneziale required Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi to obtain three cost proposals for each major project scope of work. This allowed the village to obtain the lowest responsible cost proposal, $600,000 less than the $1,250,000 budget established for mold remediation, asbestos abatement, masonry and roof repairs. Other non-emergency repairs will be competitively bid.

Amnesty Period

The Village Code (Chapter 68-5.D) was amended so that whenever a permit holder,

Car Theft Reminder

During the past week, there were two reports of vehicles stolen from Garden City driveways. This ap-

pears to be an ongoing trend throughout Nassau County and the metropolitan area.

In many of these cases, the vehicles were recovered in Newark, NJ. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, auto theft is up 11 percent. The Garden City Police Department offers the following tips to help reduce vehicle theft: • Always keep your vehicle locked and windows closed, even in your driveway or garage, as well as when you are stopped somewhere even for a brief period of time.

• Take your car key or fob with you when you leave your vehicle. With the increase in keyless ignitions, vehicles are easily entered when key fobs are left inside. All thieves have to do to gain entry is pull the door handle, enter, press the start button and drive off.

Thieves are aware side mirrors on some newer model vehicles do not retract when a key fob is left inside the vehicle.

• Do not leave or hide a key, valet key or smart key anywhere in the vehicle.

• Do not leave your vehicle running while unattended.

• Park in well-lit areas and keep your driveway well-lit as well. Auto-thefts often

occur in the dark, particularly in residential areas.

• Always leave your car alarm activated, if equipped, when the vehicle is not in use.

• Consider installing a GPS system or car tracking service; many car tracking systems have shut off capabilities.

• Do not leave garage door opener or valuables in your vehicle.

The Garden City Police Department requests residents dial 911 at once if they observe suspicious activity or hear car alarm activations.

In addition, the department encourages all residents and businesses to contact the Detective Division at 516465-4108 if they have information or video surveillance footage which may assist in criminal investigations.

Budget Sessions

The board of trustees will hold 2022-23 budget work Sessions in person in the Village Hall Board Room and via Zoom beginning March 10 between 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Work Session 2: Wednesday, March 16. Work Session 3: Thursday, March 24. Work Session 4: Wednesday, March 30.

Bubble Tea And Candle Making Coming To Mineola

BY JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

M

ineola is getting two new additions to the community: a bubble tea store and a candle-making studio.

On Feb. 16, the Village of Mineola trustees approved the new businesses to come into the community.

Meile Lin, the applicant of the bubble tea store, applied for a special use permit to establish the tea store with food service.

The new tea store will be located at 140 Jericho Tpke. It will likely open between two to three months depending on the construction process, Lin said.

Bubble tea is a popular tea-based drink originating in Taiwan. It commonly consists of cold tea with chewy tapioca balls, but other toppings, such as strawberry boba pearls, can be put in the drink. Lin said that he will also serve appetiz-

ers like fried chicken.

The restaurant will be open seven days a week, Lin said, and customers will be able to use the parking lot behind the building.

“You’re definitely going to have customers from my house because my daughters adore bubble tea,” trustee Paul A. Pereira said. “These are very popular. I think it’s great to have something like this in Mineola. I think it’s the type of use that doesn’t produce a lot of smells and garbage.”

It is not a big building, but there will be some tables inside to sit down and eat, while using the provided WiFi. The new bubble tea place will also be utilizing food delivery services like Uber Eats.

“Before you open, when you’re ready to plan the grand opening, please let us know and the [Mineola] Chamber

of Commerce know,” Mayor Scott Strauss said. “We’ll have a nice ribbon cutting for you.

Congratulations.”

After Lin’s presentation, Sparkels Brown approached the podium to talk about her new business, Cottage Kind, which will be located at 265

Horton Hwy. Cottage Kind, Brown explained, will be a retail candle store that will also offer candle-making workshops. It will be open Friday through Sunday. Classes are an hour long and the last one will likely be offered at 7:30 p.m.

“You can come in and make your own custom candle,” Brown said. “We also have specialty ones, where you can make candles look like cakes or teddy bears.”

Classes are great for date nights or just an opportunity to channel one’s creativity, Brown said.

Strauss jested that if his wife was watching the meeting live stream, he, too, will be making candles soon.

Trustee Janine Sartori added that she is excited to try the class. “We were actually just having a conversation about girls night out,” Sartori said.

Brown said Cottage Kind will take walk-ins at certain times, but customers are encouraged to make an appointment.

It will take 30 minutes to make the candle and another 30 for it to dry, Brown said.

During that time, Brown said she plans on encouraging guests to explore other local businesses in the area. Guests will also be able to utilize their photo room to post on social media.

Sparkels started her business with partner Doreen Brown after participating in local craft shows. The Browns operate an online store, where they sell candles, skin-care products, home decor and more. Taking their passion for creating to another levels, with much popular demand, they are finally opening a studio where customers can create their own flaming works of art.

Bynoe Calls For ‘Project Lifesaver’ Aid T

In memory of New Cassel resident killed by train

o better protect the health and safety of Nassau County residents who are afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other similar cognitive disabilities, Nassau County Legislator Siela A. Bynoe (D–Westbury) has filed legislation to provide residents with free access to Project Lifesaver, a search and rescue program operated internationally by public safety agencies to safely return cognitively impaired individuals who have wandered away from caregivers.

During National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Awareness Week, Bynoe urged her colleagues to schedule a public hearing and vote for her proposal, which is designed to protect cognitively vulnerable residents from harm and give their loved ones much-needed peace of mind.

“I became aware of two New Cassel residents who passed away in a matter of a week who had wandered off and unfortunately were killed, one by a train and the other by drowning,” Bynoe told Anton Media Group.

The program would be named in memory of Chesnel Veillard, a resident of New Cassel who suffered from dementia. He was tragically killed in November 2021 after he wandered from his home and onto the train tracks, where he was fatally struck by a train near Mineola.

Bynoe first learned of Veillard’s disappearance and condition when

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

GOVERNOR HOCHUL’S WAR ON THE SUBURBS

Amidst all the noise surrounding COVID mandates, violent crime, and economic strife, New York Governor Kathy Hochul quietly declared war on the suburbs. In her executive budget proposal, the governor included language which will mandate every local government in New York State to permit at least one accessory dwelling unit (ADU) per residential lot. That means quiet neighborhoods of single-family homes could soon be overtaken by apartment buildings and duplexes. It’s a radical proposal designed to eliminate single-family housing and destroy suburban living on Long Island as we know it.

New York currently leaves zoning up to local municipalities, like most states. However, a disturbing trend has swept across the country in recent years with states from California and Oregon to Connecticut and Massachusetts passing laws to pre-empt local governments and drive up population density in suburban communities. Now Governor Hochul

is looking to throw home rule aside and do the same.

Look around your neighborhood and consider that every house you see will now be a potential multi-family home. Think of the influx of population and vehicles, resulting in more crowded spaces and more vehicles on our current strained roads. Is that the future you’d like for our suburban communities?

Because that is Governor Hochul’ s vision and that’s the vision of Democrat governors across the country.

Defenders of these proposals minimize the issue, claiming no one will be forced to add an ADU to their property.

While it’s true that the addition of an ADU will remain a choice for property owners, the market will undoubtedly follow the money. Deep-pocketed developers and investors will continually outbid single-family buyers, knowing that they can account for at least two rental incomes from each property.

Over time, our communities will shift from single-family

housing to multi-family, and quite possibly from owner occupied to tenant occupied.

This shift away from single-family housing will come with a monumental increase in population density that Long Island can’t accommodate. More people will be packed onto our slender island with more vehicles added to our comically congested roads. Student-to-teacher ratios will inevitably increase, and our beaches and recreational spaces will become overcrowded.

Not only are these serious logistical and quality of life issues, but there is another major consideration that can’t be left out—what do we do about wastewater? To the surprise of many, much of Long Island lacks sewers. In fact, roughly 75 percent of Suffolk County homes are not connected to sewers but use cesspools and antiquated septic systems. As a result, waste seeps into our groundwater and the Great South Bay. The Island was not developed to handle the expo-

nential population growth and now Governor Hochul wants to make the problem worse.

Governor Hochul isn’t the first Democrat to take aim at the suburbs, not even in New York. In December 2021, a State Senator from Manhattan introduced a bill designed to vastly increase population density in cities, villages, and towns throughout our state.

While it’s not surprising that a Manhattan progressive wants to recreate the entire state in the city’s image, it is strange that Governor Hochul decided to take up this mantle as she runs for re-election. Her out of touch position shows pure contempt for those of us who enjoy living in the suburbs—voters should take notice.

said she would like to reopen NYC Transit subway station bathrooms as quickly as possible. This never happened.

There are 76 existing bathrooms at New York City Transit’s 472 subway stations. Until the early 1960s, subway riders respected authority. There was a 10-cents fee to use station bathrooms. That generation of riders did not litter subway stations or buses, leaving behind gum, candy wrappers, paper cups, bottles and newspapers.

They didn’t spit, urinate or defecate on subway platforms or cars. Pre-COVID-19 riders were always reluctant to use subway station bathrooms, even when available. Many stations had no working facilities or were closed. No one wanted to deal

NYC Transit Riders Deserve Access To Clean Safe Bathrooms with the lack of toilet paper, soap or hot water, unhinged doors to stalls or finding a mess left behind by the previous patron. Who wanted to find others using it as a safe place for consumption of drugs or sex?

Homeless people afraid to go to shelters end up using the bathroom sink to shower in an attempt to maintain hygiene.

Why not assign a matron to each male and female bathroom? Install security cameras to provide protection for both employees and riders who use bathrooms. Ask any local business, college or hospital to adopt an adjacent station bathroom to help cover the costs of staffing. In exchange, give the sponsor free advertising space at the station. If necessary, charge a nominal fee to use the facility. Reopening secure, safe subway station bathrooms with adequate supplies of toilet paper, soap and hot water would be one way to attract several million former pre-COVID-19 riders who have yet to return.

Access to a public restroom is a basic human right.

MTA Acting Chairman Janno Lieber’s statement at his New York State Senate confirmation hearing prior to being officially confirmed as permanent MTA Chairman was, “We are a transportation agency, reopening subway station restrooms is not a priority” is disappointing. I guess when riding the subways, he has never had the urge to go. Perhaps his bladder is stronger than most riders or he wears Depends to and from work. Thousands of subway or commuter rail riders who utilize existing restrooms on a daily basis would disagree with Lieber.

Long Island Rail Road restrooms at Penn Station, Atlantic Terminal, Jamaica Station and dozens of other stations are open. Metro North Rail Road Grand Central Terminal and dozens of other stations are open. Staten Island Railway passengers have direct access to both the New York City Department of Transportation Staten Island Ferry St. George and Whitehall Street Ferry Terminal restrooms. Perhaps Lieber forgot that his colleague, then-New York City Transit President Sarah Feinberg in June 2021

found to reopen the existing 76 NYC Transit subway system bathrooms. Bringing more subway stations into compliance with the Americans for Disabilities Act should also include construction of restroom facilities at those stations lacking such amenities.

The MTA was eligible for $1.5 billion in funding from the Federal Transit Administration in 2021. This will grow by several hundred million more in 2022. The MTA historically has allocated 70 percent of these annual federal funds for New York City Transit. Why doesn’t the MTA add functioning restrooms to the New York City Transit Capital Program and use federal funds to pay for these improvements?

Larry Penner is a transportation advocate, historian and writer, who previously worked for the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 New York Office.

This included the development, review, approval and oversight for billions in capital projects and programs for the MTA, NYC Transit, Long Island Rail Road, Metro North Rail Road, MTA Bus along with 30 other transit agencies in NY & NJ.

I’m Still A Man, Right?

I’m going to tell you something, but you have to promise not to tell anyone, OK? I went for a pedicure.

There, I said it.

I was telling my wife how gnarly my feet were lately with calluses and such. They felt dry and rough, and I didn’t know what to do about them.

“Let’s get a pedicure,” she said innocently. She was planning to get her toenails painted and told me they do an excellent job scrubbing her feet, clipping her toenails and soothing them.

Unlike a foot massage at “Happy Feet,” they weren’t going to gently massage my feet and lower extremities while I listened to new age music in headphones with a warm, eucalyptus mask over my face.

They were going to file the bottom of my feet like a piece of plywood that didn’t quite fit.

Ok, that was an exaggeration. But it turned out not to be far from the truth.

We were seated in comfortable, black leather reclining chairs with neck and back massage. As a neophyte, I was unsure of the proper procedure, so I took my cues from my wife. I removed my shoes and socks and got a good look at my feet in the bright lights. Suffice to say; they didn’t look anything like the pictures of feet surrounding me. My nails were uneven, and my heels and Paul DiSclafani pdisco23@aol.com ankles were rough.

Just when I thought the torture was over, she reached into her bag of tricks, pulling out a huge file. She began scraping the bottom of my feet like she was playing the violin.

The pain was mixed with laughter as my tickle reflex struggled with my “kick-herin-the-face” reflex.

I sneaked a peek at my wife in the chair next to me and could see she was quietly chuckling at me through her mask. She later told me that she wished she had taken a picture of my face as I went through the treatment. Apparently, after almost 40 years of marriage, I still manage to make her laugh.

When I got home, the first thing I did was take off my shoes and check my socks for blood. I thought for sure it was going to be a mess down there. But to my surprise, my feet looked—dare I say— beautiful. I’ve never seen my nails look so perfectly rounded and my feet so pink

Know The Signs Of Teen Dating Violence Recently, the distraught parents of a local eighth-grade girl contacted North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center because their daughter was severely depressed. They shared that in the past few months, she had been the subject of harassment and cyberbullying from her ex-boyfriend, who had spread false rumors through social media that she was pregnant. He’d also texted her calling her derogatory name and hinted that she “better watch her back.”

To their surprise, the parents learned that the boyfriend had treated their daughter poorly before the breakup. Now, she had reached the point of expressing suicidal thoughts, saying that she just wanted to just disappear.

The high-risk Triage & Emergency team at the Guidance Center determined that the case was urgent and made an appointment to see the family the very next day. These therapists, who had received special train-

But whether it’s through social media or in person, the problem is extremely damaging to its victims and can even turn deadly.

Monitor your kids’ social media usage. Discuss the importance of respect in a relationship. Share the warning signs with them.

Most important, always let them know you are there to help, not to criticize; this will help them feel they can come to you for advice.

If you notice changes in your child’s behavior, such as isolation, anxiety or depression, ask them directly what’s going on. They need to know you are there to listen to them in a lov-

ing manner, without judgment.

Though demeaning, threatening behaviors are clearly unacceptable, it can be difficult to convince a teen that his or her partner is being abusive. It’s important that young people who have experienced this kind of abuse receive mental health treatment to improve their feelings of self-worth and help them move forward. Through individual and group therapy, they develop the strength and tools to recognize that their relationship is toxic and to learn what a loving, respectful relationship is like.

dog dental sprays are the ideal solution. It’s a quick and easy way to take care of your dog’s teeth, as dog dental sprays can be used alone or in between brushings. These sprays kill plaque-causing bacteria to make your dog’s breath smell fresh. In addition to odor-eliminating effect, dental sprays can also remove and prevent tartar and plaque build-up. Most sprays are simple to use: they simply require owners to spritz the teeth and gums. Since some dogs just won’t stay still for an oral cleaning, dental sprays can also be applied to dog toys and licked off for instant fresh breath with minimal effort. Dog dental spray works best when dogs don’t eat for a half hour before and after spraying.

If you’re raising a fun-loving dog, they’ll love playing with a chew toy and you’ll love how it destroys their boredom instead of your shoes. When it comes to keeping your dog busy and entertained, chew toys are one of the best solutions. Providing dogs with a chew toy satisfies their natural instincts to chew, keeps them occupied, and helps improve their oral health.

Dogs of every age explore the world through their teeth. For puppies, gnawing naturally soothes teething pain and keeps adult dogs mentally-stimulated.

These toys come in a variety of shapes and sizes so you’re sure to find something that settles your dog’s playfulness.

5. Attend Regular Professional Veterinarian Cleanings

An essential way to protect your furry friend’s oral health is through regular professional cleanings with your veterinarian. Veterinarians are skilled at identifying, preventing and treating any dental problems they find that may otherwise go unnoticed. Most dogs need oral exams and cleanings at least once per year so veterinarians can check for early warning signs of serious problems. Some breeds, like Bulldogs, Yorkshire Terriers and Dachshunds, are more susceptible to periodontal disease. They may require more frequent cleanings every six months. Veterinarians can remove plaque below the gum line, where toothbrushes can’t reach. Dental cleanings involve taking x-rays to evaluate the health of the jawline and tooth roots. Veterinarians will scale and polish teeth to remove plaque and tartar while your dog is under general anesthesia. Veterinarians can also safely fill or extract teeth as needed.

Though this is the most expensive and time-consuming option, we recommend making veterinarian oral exams a priority. Your dog’s teeth will thank you for it.

The Plainview-Old Bethpage DECA members who contributed to the certification were Nicole Beinstock, Julia Hall and Dani Pearlman with the assistance of their DECA chapter advisor, Lindsay DeLucca. The SBE at Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK has successfully operated for 20 years.

“DECA’s School-based Enterprise Certification Program is a rigorous process designed to help DECA members demonstrate their classroom learning in a practical, learning laboratory, and then translate that into meaningful outcomes,” said Christopher Young, CAE, Chief Program Officer at DECA Inc. “These DECA members are practicing important workplace readiness skills while preparing for college and careers.”

DECA’s School-based Enterprise Certification Program provides recognition for outstanding achievement by school-based enterprises and to motivate students to strive for excellence and growth. SBEs can be certified at three levels: bronze, silver or gold. In order to apply for the certification, SBEs must submit extensive documentation that explains how the SBE demonstrates the practice of various marketing and retail standards.

A review committee evaluates the documentation to determine which level of certification has been achieved.

DECA’s School-based Enterprise programs are sponsored by Intuit and Otis Spunkmeyer Inc. For more information about the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District, please visit the District’s website at www.pobschools. org. Exciting activities happening throughout the District and programs

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Town Councilman Tom Hand, Councilwoman Laura Maier, Councilwoman Vicki Walsh, Town Clerk Rich LaMarca and Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato, as well as Nassau County Legislators John Ferretti and Rose Marie Walker, joined with owner Sal Stile of DiMaggio’s Pizzeria in Hicksville to celebrate ‘Rosalind Nyman Joel Day’ in the Town of Oyster Bay. The officials joined with local civic and community leaders to honor Billy Joel’s mother ‘Roz’ on what would have been her 100th birthday. In honor of the ‘Piano Mom,’ DiMaggio’s Pizzeria dedicated a pizza pie in her name and led a Billy Joel singalong in her honor.

Roz and Billy Joel were customers at the pizzeria, while Billy Joel grew

up in Hicksville. Rosalind, raising Billy as a single mother, performed clerical work and gave her son music lessons as a child. They would frequent the pizzeria after Joel’s music lessons.

DiMaggio’s Pizza of New York is located across the street from where the Long Island icon and singer/songwriter was raised. Stile was pleased to dedicate a pie in Roz’s honor, saying that the pizzeria was a staple in Joel’s upbringing and located at the Village Green referenced in Joel’s hit song “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant.”

DiMaggio’s honored and eternalized their famous family of customers with the dedication of the ‘Roz Pie,’ in honor of Rosalind, who was born on February 15, 1922. She passed away in 2014 at the age of 92.

Welcome home to this Dutch Colonial-style home on a beautiful tree-lined street at 103 Dorset Ave. in Albertson. This four- bedroom spacious home sold on Feb. 15 for $787,500 and has gleaming hardwood floors, a large eat-in-kitchen, a formal dining room or den and a formal living room. This home has a bedroom on main floor with a full bathroom, and a master bedroom on second floor with a large closet. The master bathroom has a ball and claw bathtub. There is an additional bedroom and bathroom on second floor. There is also a third floor with a full staircase that leads you to a sitting area or study and bedroom. This home has an alarm system, central air conditioning with two zones and four-zone heating. The basement is fully finished with a laundry room, storage and play area. Taxes with STAR are $14,645.78. This home is close to all parkways and the railroad station and is just 20 minutes to ocean beaches.

This four-bedroom cape at 8 Lee Ave. in Albertson sold on Jan. 18 for $739,500. The home is on an extra large lot that provides a very spacious backyard. Unlike most cape-style homes, this house has interior access to the oversized garage. The floor plan is what one expects of a cape: Two bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs and the master and fourth bedroom on the main floor. The living room, dining room, an eat-in-kitchen and a full bath round out the first floor. There is a full basement partially finished with the remainder for mechanicals and laundry room. Hardwood floors are on the first floor and have been protected by carpet. The home has had only one owner.

neKey MLS, the largest MLS in New York, is the trusted source of monthly statistics for residential real estate transactions from Montauk to Manhattan, north through the Hudson Valley and the Catskill Mountains. For December 2021, OneKey MLS reported a regional closed median sale price of $565,000, representing no change from the reported figure in November 2021.

Between November and December 2021, closed regional sales transactions, including residential, condo and co-op sales, increased to 6,396 from 5,731, representing an 11.6 percent monthover-month change.

The annual closed median sale price reported for the region for January through December 2021 was $555,000 based on a total of 72,541 sales transactions.

This represents a 13 percent increase in closed median sale price over the 2020 annual figure of $491,256 and a 24.1 percent increase in transactions from the 58,746 sales transactions reported

by OneKey MLS in 2020.

OneKey MLS aggregates the real estate transactional data from nine counties making up the regional MLS coverage area, and reports individually

on each county represented.

The infographic demonstrates month-over-month closed median home price comparisons for the region.

Whereas four of nine counties reported an increased closed median sale price, four of nine counties reported a decrease, and one reported no change. Sullivan (21.2 percent), Westchester (4.2 percent), Bronx (4.0 percent) and Suffolk (1 percent) counties had month-over-month increases in closed median sale price. Nassau (-1.1 percent), Orange (-4.1 percent), Rockland (-6.3 percent) and Putnam (-9.8 percent) counties had month-over-month decreases. Queens County reported no change.

Jim Speer, CEO OneKey MLS, said, “Generally speaking, regional home prices are continuing to level off with no significant change reported between December and November, which is a good sign considering current market conditions that include record-low inventory and high buyer demand that is typically associated with rising prices.”

Sheila Richter

Patricia Ann Francis Fondly Remembered Patricia Ann Francis, affectionately known as Pat, began her teaching career in 1983 at Friends Academy in Locust Valley (1983 – 89) where she taught a combined 2nd and 3rd grade class. Shortly into her career she was offered a teaching position in the Westbury School District at Drexel Elementary School where she taught 4th and 5th grade from 1989 to her retirement in 2013. Pat was a truly dedicated teacher. She was a nononsense teacher, however her children loved her. She loved her children and taught them in a manner which was both strict and loving at the same time.

She simply wanted the “best” for her children and went out of her way to accomplish that task.

Outside of school, Pat was an avid health enthusiast: walking daily, eating healthy, participating in Yoga classes, Pilates, Zumba, Strength Training and even Belly Dancing. She was a motivator of her friends, especially her walking buddies, which were called “The Walking Club”. She often shared health tips and even registered them in health seminars. She also liked to share recipes with everyone. We remember Pat as an energizer and motivator with an infectious smile and effervescent personality. She was a wonderful, loyal friend.

Most of all she is remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and loving friend. Her husband of 51 + years, Leslie L. Francis, sons David M. Francis and Michael K. Francis are fortunate to have been in her presence in the precious time that they shared.

Sheila Marilynn Richter, 82, of Woodland Park, formerly of Dumont, passed away peacefully on February 11, 2022 after a brief illness, with her husband and daughters by her side. Sheila was a free spirit and lived life on her own terms (and on her own schedule!). She was a talented calligrapher and enjoyed gardening. Her beautiful smile lit up any room, and she created a trail of friends wherever she went. She adored her family above all else, and never missed an opportunity to share in an accomplishment, enjoy a performance, or visit with her children and grandchildren. Sheila is survived by her husband, Al Richter, her daughters, Amy Claman and Jill Holtzman Eisenberg, her sister Mimi Potts (and brother-in-law Russ), and her brother Harold Seltzer (and sister-in-love Lynne). Sheila is also survived by her sons-in-law, Scott Claman and Mark Eisenberg, and her grandchildren Max, Emily, and Sophie Claman, and Jacob and Taylor Eisenberg. Sheila was a loyal friend and a light to everyone who knew and loved her. Our awesome Sheila will be profoundly and forever missed.

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any dire always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you h pleted the puzzle, there will be 15 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

By Holiday Mathis

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your mind’s eye is especially sharp. It will be a pleasure to visualize madcap fun or trophy-worthy heroics. Things don’t happen just because you imagined they would. Still, your mental movie will tilt the odds in your favor. Put the good ones on repeat. The more vividly you can see it, the luckier you’ll get.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Spending too much time with someone who undervalues you can lead you to believe that your gifts are not worth much. It is only after you get into social circles worthy of you that you’ll realize the utter absurdity of what you once were willing to settle for. It’s as if you were using a gold brick as a doorstop.

Party animal Solution: 15 Letters

Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 15 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

Party animal Solution: 15 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The first touch between two people is a significant moment. For this reason, you wait to offer your touch, however casual, until the time is right. Other firsts are similarly sacred and observing them as such lends meaning to your experiences this week. You’ll want to keep track of what happens. Write about it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will be able to settle a dispute if you take the time to understand not just what the other person wants but why they want it. Being understood feels so satisfying to the opposition that they will stop fighting and accept what you offer. With the conflict resolved, you’ll move on to something you find more interesting.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will discover that not everyone agrees with your reasoning. Having affirmation from the like-minded is helpful, but you will grow more if you seek understanding from others. You probably won’t change your stance, but you might change your tactics. You will be respected for your sophistication.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There seems to be a lot riding on your decision. Though it would be much easier for you to base your answer on the factors most relevant to you, you will take a more responsible route. You will step back and ask how others will fare. You will find a way to benefit more people. This is the way of a leader.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What you do speaks louder than what you say. Even so, sometimes it feels like you’re playing to crickets. This is because people need a minute to realize all that you’ve done for them, what it took for you to do it and what it means. Be patient. In the meantime, it helps that enacting love is its own reward.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are many relationships in your life, but what do they have in common? Why do you tend to choose one situation over another? Why this person, this partnership, this company? Your answers to these questions will enlighten you and shape your week.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is your hope that any interaction people have with you will be pleasant at the very least. You are compelled to give and do more than is typical. You strive to exceed or defy expectations. Just remember, sometimes less is more. Also, it’s essential to be kind and compassionate to, first and foremost, yourself.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ll love being a fan. You’ll have interesting experiences involving those you enjoy and follow. The reputation you’ve built will open doors for you next season. Material items will change hands; you’ll profit from trading up. In June you will experience a part of the world that is entirely new to you. Through the summer, simplify your life as much as you can. Streamlining your work and domestic life will help you get a clear view of your next success move. Autumn heralds wedding bells.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may bristle at the idea that your problems are self-imposed. Although it doesn’t seem to be the case, it’s better if this is true since only then can you take action. You will overcome your defensiveness and unravel the puzzle, solving the problem.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Giving will deepen your relationship, but it won’t be the usual contribution. You’re investing a deeper level of attention; patient, grounded and devoted. People are not used to feeling this seen and might experience an emotional reaction to your attention, or even a healing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). People disappoint. They do it without intending to, because they are imperfect and, most of all, they do it because you expected too much. Fortunately, people will also delight you at times. Both scenarios teach you to set realistic expectations. This is the art to master! Happiness awaits!

Scintillating play

West dealer.

Both sides vulnerable.

NORTH ♠76 ♥ J 10 9 8 5 2 ♦ A 10 ♣A K Q WEST EAST ♠Q8 ♠A3 ♥A K Q ♥7 4 ♦9432 ♦J765 ♣9 6 4 3 ♣ 10 8 7 5 2 SOUTH ♠ K J 10 9 5 4 2 ♥6 3 ♦KQ8 ♣J The bidding: West North East South Pass 1♥ Pass 1♠ Pass 2♥ Pass 3♠ Pass 3 NT Pass 4♠ Opening lead — king of hearts.

This deal occurred in a pairs championship. Most of the South players wound up in four spades, and South then either made the contract or went down one.

West usually started by cashing the K-A of hearts, then shifted to a diamond. Declarer won in dummy, led a spade and, when East followed low, went into a trance.

Those declarers who played the king made four spades, losing only

two hearts and a spade. Those who finessed the jack lost to the queen and went down one.

A good case can be made for playing the king instead of the jack, but whether this is technically the correct play is debatable. It can be argued that West, having shown up with the A-K of hearts, is unlikely to have the ace of spades also, thus making the king a better play than the jack. But against this it can be argued that East might have had the A-Q-x, making the jack the winning play.

At one table, the argument for or against the king play was entirely academic. South went down one, and there was nothing he could do about it. Here, after cashing the A-K of hearts, West decided that there was no good reason to shift to a diamond and so continued with the queen of hearts.

East put on his thinking cap at this point and emerged with the killing play. He trumped his partner’s high heart with the ace(!), after which declarer could not avoid losing a second trump trick to West’s queen.

East reasoned that by ruffing with the ace, he could defeat the contract if his partner had either the Q-x or J-x-x of spades. East couldn’t have been more right.

For someone who grew up in a musical household in Haifa, where famous names like Harry Belafonte, Pete Seeger and Odetta came by to see his folk singer mom, the Israeli singer-songwriter was a reluctant bard when his initial hit, 1977’s “Yihye Tov,” was the first step towards him becoming a critically acclaimed global talent. Along the way, he’s shared stages with the likes of Bob Dylan, Sting and Van Morrison and become a respected peace activist who was appointed a UNICEF goodwill ambassador thanks to his work on projects like the album/documentary East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem.
