Lisa Tuozzolo’s husband Paul was killed in the Bronx by a suspect in a domestic dispute on Nov. 4, 2016. His actions, Tuozzolo affirmed, saved the lives of his fellow officers. “In my eyes, he was a hero long before that day,” she said. “But after November 4, not only did he become a hero for all of us, but I realized how many heroes there are in this world who put on that uniform every single day.” Her “blue” family, she went on to say, had embraced her “blood” family, including sons Austin, 8, and Joey, 7. Tuozzolo, who lives in Suffolk County, urged the many law enforcement in crowd, “Keep fighting. Keep remembering how much you are appreciated. How much you are needed and how much we care about you.” Genesis Villella’s mother, Miosotis Familia, was killed “execution style” in the Bronx on July 5, 2017 as she sat in a mobile command unit. “My mother was executed for being a police officer,” Villella said, breaking down. “She was a 12-year veteran who spent all of her career working in the Bronx. She was a true patriot who loved her country, loved being a cop and she once told me that it was her true calling.” Like other speakers, Villella mentioned how much police officers sacrificed—missing holidays, family celebrations—to “serve and protect.” “I want all Americans to remember that all these cops out here protecting us are human beings with families and friends and loved ones who need them to come home,” she stated,

Pandemic’s A ‘Speed Bump’

BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

own of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino loved the sound of the possible headline: “A Three-Peat From Wall Street.” The town, on July 9, earned its third credit rating upgrade of the year. Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Global Ratings upgraded the town’s longterm credit rating by two notches, from BBB- to BBB+. Days earlier, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded the town’s longterm bond rating, from Baa2 to Baa1 with a “positive outlook.” In February, Moody’s had again raised the town’s creditworthiness. When he assumed office in January 2017, the town’s credit rating had been reduced to junk bond status. The higher the rating, the less it costs to borrow money on the municipal bond market, savings taxpayers millions over the years, the supervisor noted. In a statement, Saladino said, “These upgrades recognize the many positive steps taken by my administration and the town board to repair the financial problems of the past and bring fiscal stability for taxpayers. In just three short years, we have

received four credit rating upgrades and an increased outlook designation from Wall Street. We’ve successfully restricted spending, significantly paid down debt and maintained a $4 million tax cut for residents.” In an interview with Anton Media Group, Saladino quoted the words of the town’s independent auditors, Cullen & Danowski, who called it “an amazing turnaround.” He added, “They have never seen so much so quickly in positive news in Oyster Bay. By turning things around so quickly and this tremendously, we were able to get three bond rating increases in less than a year.” The supervisor noted that the S&P jump was two notches, and added, “They don’t like to give bond rating increases during the pandemic. We were one of the few municipalities to get it, and they said to us that we really deserve an even higher bond rating based on our financial health.”

Moody’s report stated, “There is now every indication that the town’s efforts will culminate in a successful restoration of financial health.” It also praised the town for “eliminating the need for cash flow borrowing and successful resolution of the most critical litigation.” Additionally, Moody’s did “not see any material immediate credit risks…” and that “…the ongoing pandemic has been only a small speed bump in the town’s progress.” S&P cited the “… town’s improved budgetary performance leading to a substantially improved financial position…” Saladino said the town went from a $44 million cumulative deficit in its operating budget during the last administration to a $27.4 million surplus as of the close of 2019. Town debt at the end of 2016 was $763 million, and at the end of 2019 was reduced by $160 million to $603 million. “How are you going to avoid the

financial problems that the pandemic will bring?” Saladino was asked. “When it comes to the pandemic, people don’t realize we don’t depend on sales taxes, unlike the county,” replied Saladino, who did not foresee a foreclosure crisis leading to reduced property tax collection. In the Great Recession, he observed, many people who got into trouble with the mortgage could not sell their house. “Now, you put your house on the market, and they’ll be beating a path to the front door,” he said, adding that people who live in densely-populated areas want to move to his town, which he proclaimed the best on Long Island for amenities and quality of life issues. The town will get through the pandemic, he affirmed, “with the same way that we got here, by being very efficient with the town’s money.” Saladino concluded, “This is what I promised when I assumed office, and we continue to deliver on those promises and we continue to save money for our taxpayers.” To comment on this story, email frizzo @antonmediagroup.com

GLEN COVE

Glen Cove IDA Hears Application For Tax Abatements At Garvies Point

BY CAROLINE RYAN

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

eorgica Green Ventures LLC, a Jericho-based affordable housing real estate development company is seeking an application for financial assistance to help construct the affordable housing units at Garvies Point. The Glen Cove IDA held a public meeting on July 27 to get residents public comment regarding the application. Many residents voiced their frustrations with the way the city has handled new development projects in the city, stating that rising taxes are causing people to move out of the city. “Every time I get a report, it seems like our numbers are so much higher than everybody else,” resident Ray Krupka said. “I have to worry about the judiciary responsibility of the people in charge. Haven’t we given enough money and deals to the Garvies Point program? This has gone way too far and I think that they should be able to complete the project without any more handouts. We already have put our city into a situation where our bond rating is nearing junk, and we can’t go any further. People in this city have given enough.” Councilwoman Marsha Silverman spoke as a resident and taxpayer of the city. Silverman voiced her concern over the application, which she stated will not create any more new jobs other than what was approved back in 2016, during the initial application. “This application is not attracting new business, new jobs or stimulating our economy more than what was approved several years ago, back in 2016,” Silverman said. “To give away additional tax dollars is not prudent on top of what is already been distributed. The excuse was used in 2016 that if we do not give tax breaks, the developer will walk away. If they can’t build and they need this financial assistance, they shouldn’t have been approved for what they’re building in the first place then.” Silverman also argued that a sales tax abatement, which is part of what applicant is currently seeking in the application, will directly impact the city. “The recent Moody’s rating downgraded us with the primary reason being that our sales tax revenue is expected to have a significant shortfall, primarily due to COVID,” Silverman said. “I can’t fathom why Glen Cove

would consider giving away more tax dollars that should come into the state, county and city, when we already are expecting millions of shortfalls that will significantly impact our budget, the county’s budget and the state’s budget.” On July 28, the Glen Cove IDA held a secondary hearing where the public had the opportunity to listen to the applicant’s proposal. According to the application, RXR received approval from the city to build a total of 486 rental residential units, 111 of which will be workforce housing units (55 for rent and 56 for sale). The applicant, Georgica Green Ventures, is seeking a mortgage modification agreement, as well as potential exemptions or partial exemptions from sales use taxes and mortgage recording taxes. Dan Deegan, an attorney from Forchelli, Deegan, Terrana LLP, spoke on behalf of the applicant and tried to clear the air regarding some misconceptions residents had during the prior days public hearing. “This is not RXR’s request—RXR is the seller of the property,” Deegan said. “We are the workforce housing partner on the project, but we are buying the property. This is a separate application from our RXR’s overall project. I think there was some confusion about that yesterday.” Deegan went on to explain how funding for the project works and clarified that the state “looks for local participation from the IDA in terms of financial assistance, pilot sales tax

and mortgage exemptions. The ask of this board at this time is for a mortgage recording tax and a sales tax exception. Now those two taxes are paid to the county and the state, and they split them 50/50. One of the major points that I think was missed in the public hearing yesterday is that without this project, none of those taxes would be generated anyway.” Milan Tyler, the counsel for the City of Glen Cove spoke about how this would potentially impact the city. Tyler explained that the request is for $987,010 of sales tax benefit, which mathematically equates to $11,443,594 of taxable spending. The county imposes its 4.25 percent sales tax, which means that the county would receive if the project was completed anyway $486,353. “The county keeps the lions share of that money,” Tyler said. “I think there’s a misconception, everyone thinks that it just gets returned to the municipalities and that’s not accurate. For every dollar of sales tax that the county collects, the city gets .1176 percent of that, or about one ninth of a penny per dollar. So, when you look at what the sales tax benefit would be—the city is forgoing $571.95. When you look at the economic impact to the whole county, it would be a $14 million.” Tyler stated that according to the economic consultant for the city, Glen Cove would take in more sales tax ($4,192) every year. “Economically this is a plus for the

city and much of the reason for doing this is to fulfill the vision of the waterfall front and to provide, necessary affordable housing in the city,” Tyler stated. Glen Cove Mayor Tim Tenke agreed with Tyler, stating that one of the things that the city is lacking is an affordable housing component. “I think that this project makes sense,” Tenke said. “Georgica Green is a benefit to the city in more ways than one. But we are going to look at everything and bring this back up when we meet. But I really believe this is a good thing for Glen Cove.” Georgica Green Ventures is hoping to begin construction on this project in December, with final completion by September 2022. They are hoping to have the units fully leased and operational by May 2023. Deegan asked the board if they could render a decision before the state’s Aug. 26 application deadline. The IDA ultimately voted to extend the public comment period until Aug. 11. Comments may be submitted to the IDA in writing or electronically to Ann S. Fangmann, AICP, Executive Director Glen Cove IDA, 9 Glen St., Glen Cove, NY 11542 or by email at afangmann@ glencovecda.org. The board will likely vote on this application at their next meeting on Aug. 18. What did you think of this story? Share it with me at cryan@antonmediagroup.com

ROSLYN

Roslyn HS Assistant Principal Retires, Leaving a Lasting Legacy BY GEMMA SCHNEIDER

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

arol Murphy first met Jay Pilnick when she was interviewing to be his co-assistant principal at Roslyn High School. Pilnick was sitting beside the student government president at the time, cracking jokes that his student mentee couldn’t help but laugh at. Later that day, Murphy recalled, she had to ask a talkative Pilnick to leave the room so that she could finish up a writing sample. He respectfully obliged. “He made quite the impression on me before I was even hired,” Murphy, who was later appointed to the position, laughed. Pilnick joined the Roslyn community in 1983, when he began working as a special education teacher at the Roslyn Middle School. In 1997, he moved on to become an assistant principal at the high school, where he’s served ever since. Murphy’s first encounter with Pilnick offers a perfect encapsulation of the person that he is. Funny, loud, passionate, and a real friend to his students, Pilnick managed to make “quite the impression” on most everyone whom he met during his 37 years at Roslyn. As he retires from his assistant principal position this year, these attributes, which become strikingly palpable within only a few moments of meeting him, are what Pilnick’s students and co-workers will miss the most. “I will miss his great sense of humor and all the memories we shared together,” Murphy said. “Mr. Pilnick gave his heart and soul to Roslyn High School. He leaves a huge legacy behind.” Pilnick’s students—former and current—have long enjoyed his vibrant personality and marked affability. Luhan Yang, who graduated from Roslyn in 2018, said that she will never forget the way in which Pilnick would wait outside the high school each morning, without fail, to greet all of his students as they entered the school building. Daniella Futoran, Roslyn Class of 2020, still marvels at the fact that Pilnick already knew her name when she walked through the doors of Roslyn High School on her first day—“he studied just as hard as any of us,” she remarked. Jessica Yeroshalmi, Roslyn Class of 2019, recalled that she could always hear Pilnick’s voice from

Roslyn Assistant Principal Jay Pilnick across the hallway when he chatted with students. She wistfully shared that, as much as she would tease Pilnick about his loud enthusiasm, his voice “made Roslyn a warmer place…one that felt like home.” Pilnick will also be remembered by Roslyn students for his wit. Solidified through everything from lighthearted jokes to elaborate pranks, a piece of Pilnick’s legacy undoubtedly rests in his keen sense of humor. “Mr. Pilnick would always say I was his number one fan because there wasn’t a single joke he told me where I wasn’t laughing,” Emily Mintz, a member of the Roslyn Class of 2019, said. Futoran also recalled a moment from last year in which Pilnick sent her and another student a series of emails that led them to believe that they “were in serious trouble.” When they arrived at Pilnick’s office, his secretary prepared the students for a sit-down meeting to “discuss their behavior.” Soon, a smiling Pilnick arrived at the scene. They weren’t in trouble at all. Rather, as Pilnick soon divulged, he had called the pair to his office to announce that they had both earned the 2019 Bruce Cutler Memorial Award, which celebrated their work as flag bearers for the Roslyn Marching Band. “He knew excessive details about our lives and joked relentlessly about them,” Futoran reflected. “He kept us in check.”

Perhaps most important to Pilnick’s legacy, though, is the way in which he was there for his students in all circumstances—not only when someone needed a buddy or a laugh. “He was always around the building, chatting with students and making sure things were as they should be,” Marguerite Barone, who worked as Pilnick’s co-assistant principal before Murphy came to Roslyn, said. Yang remembered a particular time in which Pilnick offered her an important hand of comfort and support. Yang was feeling sick, but because the school day was officially over, the school nurse’s office was no longer open. So, Pilnick stayed by Yang’s side, not leaving until he was able to confirm that she would be alright. “He genuinely cares about the well-being of students in the school,” Yang shared. “He made Roslyn a warm and welcoming community.” Some of the most prominent initiatives that Pilnick launched during his time at Roslyn were centered on tapping into students’ individual needs and emotional health. He helped bring Challenge Day, a freshman workshopping event that is now held annually, to Roslyn High School. The collaborative workshop seeks to build compassion and foster feelings of acceptance among participating freshmen. He was also instrumental in the creation of the Roslyn Hilltop Academy, which is Roslyn’s alternative high school, where students

can receive personal counseling and support at a level that’s not readily accessible in most other high school settings. “To say Mr. Pilnick was dedicated to Roslyn is an understatement,” Murphy reflected. Pilnick’s retirement doesn’t mark an end to his engagement with the Roslyn community. It merely opens up a new chapter of involvement. Pilnick’s retirement ambitions include plans to visit and read to classes at The Heights School, as well as intentions to advise high school students who may be in need of an experienced mentor. He also looks forward to being in the audience at Roslyn High School concerts, plays, marching band competitions and sporting events. Pilnick related that when he was first appointed to the assistant principal position in 1997, his primary goal was to become “the assistant principal who always kept students first.” In the 23 years that followed, this vision became a reality—Pilnick’s voice became a source of warmth for students, his jokes became providers of relief, and his professional initiatives became vehicles for meaningful change. Although Pilnick’s voice will no longer fill the halls of Roslyn High School, its reverberations will continue to echo throughout the school for years to come. The promise of this lasting legacy clearly suggests a job well done. Gemma Schneider is a contributing writer for Anton Media Group

GREAT NECK

Leaders In Wildlife Conservation Spread Awareness About The Environment BY LEILA SASSOUNI

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

eaders in Wildlife Conservation (LIWC) is a student-led nonprofit with the mission to spread awareness about endangered animals and sustainability of the environment. Several students at Great Neck South High School came together in recent months to discuss ways to better nurture the planet. Founder and executive director of LIWC junior Eric Liu founded this organization in light of his admiration for animals. Since his youth, he has taken pleasure in observing the wildlife around him and has since grown more concerned with the apparent decrease in animal biodiversity. “I observed various animals throughout my childhood, including exotic insects such as the Japanese Rhinoceros beetles and the Annam walking stick,” Liu said. “Overtime, this enthusiasm for animals developed into a drive to protect them and later to practice veterinary medicine and to conserve our planet’s dwindling biodiversity.” Liu felt especially passionate to establish LIWC because of the recent events from 2019-20 that have significantly affected animals’ habitats. Three main events he stated that have widely affected wildlife populations are the “Black Summer,” Australian bushfires and COVID-19. Thus, with these growing environmental concerns in mind, the quarantine period allowed Liu to focus more of his attention on wildlife. “I have noticed how fast our planet’s

Members of LIWC—all of whom are students at GNSHS. (Photos courtesy of LIWC) biodiversity is deteriorating,” Liu said. “Our planet is undergoing the sixth and largest mass extinction right now, yet only a small percentage of the population is taking this seriously. Upon witnessing with my own eyes the scope of the problem—12 million hectares of forests charred and koalas scorched in agony in an ungovernable flame—I could no longer remain stagnant.” With Liu’s interests, as well as that of his co-founding members, the leaders came together to establish this nonprofit, as they firmly believe that the Great Neck education does not sufficiently educate students about protection of the environment and

overall sustainability. Liu explained that the organization’s leaders specifically noticed that the SHS community has a “lack of awareness for environmental and wildlife conservation.” While these students could have educated their own peers at school about the environment, this club had not yet been approved. The LIWC leaders hope to make this organization into a club at SHS. To educate teenagers as well as passionate wildlife observers, Liu and his fellow student leaders started a website where they post articles every day about wildlife news. Articles include necessary information about various topics, such as endangered

animals and can take on any focus of interest. Some students choose to focus on how the decreasing biodiversity effects the economy specifically, while other writers choose another area to pursue. These young activists have received an overwhelming outpour of support, as they are commended for their hard work and thorough research on endangered animals. “The organization’s meaningful mission, intriguing content, credible foundation and online presence have also connected us to collaborators around the world, including activists in Australia, the United Kingdom, India, Canada and even Tanzania,” Liu said. “Thus far, we have been collaborating with nature bloggers, wildlife photographers and even field researchers hoping to share their work with a broader audience.” Within a few months, these students have gained an exponentially higher readership, as they have accumulated more than 3,600 readers globally. The students hope to use these connections to gain a greater audience of readers. In the near future, the LIWC leaders also hope to do community fundraising oriented around conservation where people can learn about ways to help the environment.

MANHASSET

Irma Harris: A Manhasset Treasure On Aug. 1 my grandmother Irma Harris and resident of Flower Hill, celebrated her 92nd birthday. Turning back time, on March 12, 1950 Irma married a man named Harvey Harris in Saint Louis. She would only do it if he secured them tickets to South Pacific, the most popular musical of the time. Three years later Harvey’s company transferred him to the New York City office. They

bought a house in the then small town of Manhasset. Little did she know she would be a resident of Manhasset for at least the next 67 years. When explaining why she moved here, she said, “The schools were excellent and it was a short commute to the city, so it was very popular.” Irma became an active participant in community life. She taught English at the Manhasset Community Day

Center, a day time center for teenagers in rehabilitation and one of the first of its kind. She also was a substitute teacher at Manhasset High School, which both her daughters would graduate from. Later, she worked in real estate at Douglas-Elliman. As a child, visits to Gramma Irma’s were the weekend highlights for

“When NYU Winthrop’s TAVR team replaced my heart valve, they gave me my life back.”

For John Elliott, sailing is living. He’s been on the water for most of his 90-plus years. In all three theaters during World War 2, as a merchant seaman, and for the last 70 years sailing out of the Rockaway Point Yacht Club. But recently John was so fatigued and short of breath, he could only walk a few steps. His aortic valve was failing. His daughter, a nurse, told John about a valve replacement procedure called TAVR. She took him to NYU Winthrop Hospital, part of NYU Langone Health. With some of the country’s highest quality TAVR programs on Long Island and in Manhattan, NYU Langone Health is a leader in this procedure. They replaced John’s valve through an artery in his leg. In no time at all, he was back to sailing off Breezy Point. If you suffer from aortic stenosis, you may be a candidate for TAVR. To learn more, call 1-866-WINTHROP or visit nyulangone.org/tavr.

IRMA HARRIS from page 10 years. She made sure I never missed a SCA fair or a Memorial Day parade. We ate at Publicans. I was her shadow during trips to the office on Plandome Road. And of course I have been to innumerable family parties at The Jolly Fisherman in Roslyn. At 92, Irma’s memory is as sharp as it ever was. Her memory is a treasury of American history. At age 5, she took a train trip with her family during the Depression, and she played house in the empty cars with her sister. She remembers vividly learning of Pearl Harbor at school. Her sister and author Bernice Kert used to say that she never

bothered to use the library, if she needed to know something she called Irma. The house Irma and Harvey bought is still there, and Irma still lives in it. Irma’s great success is in large part to her live-in aide and now close friend, Hilda. When I stop by to visit, I often find the two of them laughing together over some inside joke, watching Jeopardy, or singing old ’40s songs together. She refers to Irma as “The Queen”, but we all refer to Hilda by her appropriate title, “The Boss.” Words cannot express how grateful our family is to Hilda. Since the pandemic started, I have

worked to find ways to help her pass the time from the safety of her home. She has been re-watching old musicals, including South Pacific, which she notes is nowhere near as good as the Broadway production. Her latest project is to chronicle our family’s history, and there is no one better suited to the task. While I have no way of independently confirming this, at 67 years and counting, I suspect Irma is the longest continuous resident of this wonderful town.

Sewanhaka Debates Racially Insensitive Mascot

ith a national debate going on about racially insensitive mascots and professional sports team names, the Sewanhaka School District was called out during a July 7 Board of Education meeting about Sewanhaka High School’s mascot, which is a Native American Indian. “As a result of some community concern, the board of education and administration will be surveying each of the school mascots to gauge their appropriateness to the school and their community values,” Sewanhaka Central High School District Superintendent James Grossane said in a statement to Anton Media Group. “We will be sharing any updates on this matter at future board meetings.” Three days before the board meeting, a Change.org petition was created to change the school’s mascot on July 4. As of publication, the petition has received 780 signatures. “Sewanhaka High School can be considered a diverse school, but it is not a predominately Native American school. To have students dress up in feathers and different outfits that belong to Natives is disrespectful,” the petition said. “They do not understand the history behind these outfits and accessories. They most likely do not know much about Native history in general because Native history is not taught in school. Calling Indigenous people an Indian and making them mascots has a negative

connotation behind it. Not only were there people killed off almost to extinction, but they have faced racism for almost their whole existence. It’s time for a change. People of color and allies must come together and stop this once and for all. We are all brothers and sisters. We should be paying each other respect. Humans are not a fictional character or an animal. They should not be a mascot to entertain people. Getting this mascot to be changed will bring us one step closer to allowing people to see the wrong doings in today’s society.” On the petition were a lot of commenters who fully supported the change in mascot. “For a school that’s extremely diverse and welcomes conversations about tough topics, this is something we need to talk about,” said one commenter. “It’s 2020 and we have long since known that our mascot name is offensive. We need to finally do something about it and change it to something that doesn’t allow/continue the disrespect of Native Americans.” “I swear to God, I’ve been saying this for years,” said another. “They dressed up a white guy as our ‘mascot’ in a Native American headdress! This has gotta go.” Now that it is the 21st Century, it seems that time really is a key proponent for change. “Class of 1972 here,” one commenter said. “We didn’t know any better then. We should have. We know now. Change the team name. Change the fight songs. Honor the school name.”

Garden City School District summer enrichment program sets tone BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

hange is afoot in the Garden City School District and it goes beyond the pandemic that communities around the state are having to grapple with. Not only is superintendent Dr. Kusum Sinha and her staff laying the groundwork for what academic instruction might look like in September, but Sinha also oversaw the appointment of Janine Villez as the district’s new director of pupil personnel services. Villez started in her new position on July 1 and Sinha couldn’t be more pleased. “I’m really happy that she’s here,” Sinha said. “I’ve already seen some of how she’s impacting our district in a positive way and I hired her to make us better and I think she’s going to do that.” While Villez jokingly said her immediate challenge was “...how hard it is to recognize people with their masks on,” she is equally enthused about her new job.

“It is a true honor to become a program that transitioned from on-site member of the Garden City commuto remote learning starting back in nity,” she said. “I am committed to March.

The state has told us that we need to have three plans in place, which is in person, hybrid and remote instruction. Within that, there is a significant amount of procedures and protocols we have to put in place for screening employees and students ensuring hygiene and disinfecting. So it’s massive.

IDA Grants Benefits To Carle Place Building

ichard Kessel, chairman of the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) announced that the IDA has approved a package of economic development benefits for the new owner of 1 Old Country Rd. in Carle Place. 1-800-Flowers had been the anchor tenant at the office building since 2005, but moved its headquarters to Jericho earlier this year. The benefits, approved by the IDA board at a board meeting held via video-conference on July 9, will assist Garden City-based DBD Realty Group LLC, to renovate the building, which it purchased for $26.5 million in February. The developer plans to spend $13.7 million on renovations to the 318,000-square-foot building and its adjacent three-level 450,000-square-foot parking garage. The latter had been deemed unsafe by the Town of North Hempstead. DBD Realty Group, LLC plans to renovate the garage to meet the safety requirements by the town. “It is vital that we create attractive

commercial real estate options to entice businesses interested in expanding or relocating to our region—especially with the influx of businesses looking to move to less dense locations,” said Nassau County Executive Laura Curran. “This much needed renovation of a well-known, easily accessible building and parking garage is a great step in attracting quality long term tenants and creating jobs here in Nassau.” The five-story building, completed in 1969, is west of Glen Cove Road,

and is close to Meadowbrook Parkway, Roosevelt Field Mall and Nassau County courts. Once a premier address, numerous factors spanning several decades, including frequent ownership changes, bank foreclosures, court-ordered receiverships, municipal safety closures, and maintenance neglect, have caused physical and economic deterioration of the property. “This is a very good project,” said Kessel, noting that the building serves as a gateway to the seat of Nassau County government in Mineola.

CARLE PLACE

“The IDA’s assistance to this project, which requires a tremendous infusion of capital, will help return this to a first-class office building of which we can be proud and, hopefully, it will be a boon to Nassau County as businesses to our west seek to relocate some of their operations.” It is currently 35 percent vacant and current tenants are leasing on a month-to-month or short-term basis and are reluctant to enter into long-term leases without marked improvement to the building, according to DBD, which said the renovations also will help to attract new, quality tenants. DBD said the proposed renovations will include parking garage repair, modernization of all elevators, a new roof system and aesthetic upgrades throughout the property. It said the improvements will encourage class-A tenants to enter into long-term leases. For more information, visit www. nassauida.org. —Submitted by the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency

Stop The Hate Reports of COVID-19-linked racial violence and discrimination against people of Asian descent have proliferated worldwide. This is reminiscent of the immediate aftermath of 9/11 when Muslims were attacked in a similar fashion, including children. I vividly recall one pre-teen boy from Westbury, whose name was Muhammad, who attended an intergenerational cultural awareness forum at North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center. After sitting quietly for almost a half hour, Muhammad spoke up. With a trembling voice, he revealed that there were kids in his school who taunted him. They called him “terrorist” because his name is Muhammad, an Arabic name that means praiseworthy. But instead of feeling proud, Muhammad felt more like an outcast. There is no concrete governmental response toward protecting people of Asian descent from pandemic-fueled racist attacks, despite their growing number. In fact, slurs like “Wuhan Virus” and “Kung-Flu” continue to be used even at the highest levels

of government. The Anti-Defamation League posted a report this summer detailing numerous illustrations of attacks against Asian-Americans. On July 18, an Asian-American restaurant owner reported that when a customer refused to observe the restaurant’s health guidelines and it was brought to his attention, he told the owner, “F-you and your chinky-ass policy.” And, he added, “Go back to China.” It was recently brought to my attention that a 5-year-old Asian-American child was shouted at, in a coronavirus-driven tirade, in a park on the North Shore of Nassau

County, leaving him shaken and wondering why someone would scream such things at him. These hate-filled attacks can be traumatizing events for children and parents. And it doesn’t end there. Attacks are not only verbal. In Edison, NJ, a group of juveniles circled an Asian woman, degraded her with racial slurs and then punched her in the back of the head. Worse yet, at a Sam’s Club in Texas, an AsianAmerican family, including two children, were stabbed by a hate-filled customer. It is so much easier to objectify and dehumanize someone who symbolizes what you fear most and attempt to strip them of their dignity, as opposed to getting to know them as a real person who may be as fearful and anxious about COVID-19 as you are. Parents are worried about racially motivated attacks against Asian-American students when schools reopen in the fall. They want to know if they will be returning to a safe environment. Beyond school policy, sometimes assertively standing by is all it takes to

show support and solidarity with a peer who is being harassed. It may help someone who is being targeted to feel less alone and afraid, and it sends a powerful message to the aggressor that someone is bearing witness to their hateful behavior. Just as schools are preparing students and faculty to guard against becoming infected by COVID-19, racial hate is also an infectious disease. Only our solidarity with those who are targeted for their appearance and ethnicity will prevent community spread. More than any rule or regulation can dictate, it is essential that teachers and students of all backgrounds be prepared to stand tall and reject hateful behavior. We must all stand tall and stand together. Andrew Malekoff is the executive director of North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center, the leading children’s mental health agency on Long Island.

The After-School COVID-19 Dilemma Kids of all ages and their parents rely on and look forward to extracurricular and afterschool activities at the end of each school day. From art classes, to varsity sports, to preparing for a school play, to volunteering for a charitable organization, there is an activity for every type of child. However, with COVID-19 constantly changing the state of schooling, a common (and unanswered) question is: how will this affect our children’s afterschool activities? Activities and programs provide many important life skills and benefits to kids. They develop leadership skills, create a sense of group responsibility, engage in physical exercise, reinforce educational lessons and more. The National Center For Education Statistics published a study that stated, “Recent research suggests that participation in extracurricular activities may increase

with specific extracurricular activities. Along with this connection comes a bond to the people and places that they do it in. For me, this activity was dance. I loved going to dance class, playing a dance-themed game with friends, and I continued to pursue this passion throughout high school at a varsity level.

to the possibility of keeping a mask on for the entirety of the activity and having the ability to keep children socially distant. Some activities fall into the gray area between safe and risky, such as volunteer organizations, Scout troops, and theatre programs. Because each afterschool activity is unique, it is easy to imagine some continuing safely, while others being paused altogether. Aside from disappointing students, the delay of many extracurricular activities due to COVID-19 can be harmful to kids’ development and parents’ work schedules. While many extracurriculars seem like mindless fun, in reality, they provide so many benefits. With the uncertainty of the 2020-2021 school year comes the uncertainty of extracurriculars as well, for better or for worse. —Emily Milgrim is a student at Schreiber High School in Port Washington

Diversity And Long Island Schools: A Tale As Old As Time As a way to celebrate their 2020 graduation and their civil rights moment, my newly-minted graduates exercised their first amendment rights and participated in the local and national Black Lives Matter (BLM) marches. All masked up, my husband and I joined our offspring at the marches and walked with them as they marched across the Brooklyn Bridge in solidarity with their peers and those who had lost their lives as victims of racial oppression and police brutality. The energy at the marches was palpable and the urgency of their message was felt far and wide. Even in my local town march on Long Island organized by the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) youth from the area, hearing the young courageous activists share their experiences of racism in their daily lives was painful to hear. It was their truth and I felt privileged and humbled to bear witness to it as they recounted candid stories of racist encounters in their classes, in the playground, amongst their friends as they navigated their black and brown bodies in spaces that didn’t include them. As I looked around the crowded town dock, it was promising to see that the

urgency of the BLM message was reflected across all colors, ethnicities, sexualities, races and religions. Every pensive Generation Z was kneeling for almost nine minutes in solidarity with George Floyd, who was killed by a police officer who put his knee on Floyd’s neck for at least nine minutes. A young teen was holding a sign with the face of Tamir Rice, the 12-year-old Black child shot to death by a police officer in November 2014 while playing with a toy gun at a park in Cleveland. Tamir Rice was my son’s age and would be celebrating his 18th birthday graduating with my son if he was alive today. Or Trayvon Martin, the 12-year-old teen who was shot in 2012 in Florida for wearing a hoodie, would be graduating college with my daughter had he been alive. We as parents, allies and

educators can no longer afford to sit back and become complacent in the face of these increasing glaring inequalities. If there is anything I have learned in hearing the pleas of the young, brilliant black and (BIPOC) activists during the marches, it is that being an ally involves so much more than paying lip service to the movement or shallow performative gestures. The only way we can truly support the BLM movement is to support our activists by giving them the space to articulate their own oppressive obstacles and create through their own actions places of transformative change. To paraphrase Ibram X Kendi, it is not enough for us to commit to not be racists, we have to actively be anti-racists. It involves committing to systemic changes in our schools that includes hiring more teachers, counselors and administrators of color in keeping with the changing student demographics. Ninety-two percent of Long Island public-school teachers are white. In nearly twothirds of Long Island schools, there are no black teachers. In more than two-fifths of them, there are no Latino teachers. And most children grow up in segregated

communities that divide along school district lines. Those were the findings discussed at the Long Island Educator Diversity Conference at Hofstra University last spring. Long Island is historically home to the most segregated school districts in the country. It is not a coincidence that our remedial classes have more ENL (English as a New Language) students and students of color. On the flip side, the makeup of the majority of the honors and gifted programs in districts across Long Island consist of a homogeneously white student body. Our board of education members rarely reflect the diversity of our parent populations and the demographics of our teachers, administrators and counselors don’t reflect the students they serve. Not that there is a shortage of excellent candidates to choose from because as a professor of education, I can attest to the talented novice and seasoned applicant pool of teachers of color our universities produce every year. For those lucky POC (people of color) educators and administrators who do get their foot in the door of a Long Island school, many unfortunately leave. In the absence

of institutional support, many teachers of color coming from urban schools find it challenging to navigate the suburban culture of their Long Island school districts. This status quo hinders the facilitation of civic-minded students who become critical thinkers and advocates of change in and out of their classrooms. It consequently becomes incumbent on every Long Island district to intentionally commit to putting policies in place to recruit, retain and tenure diverse teachers, counselors, psychologists, social workers and administrators. Only then will black and brown lives matter in the classrooms. Shaireen Rasheed is a professor of Philosophy, Multiculturalism and Social Justice at Long Island University. She is also the director of the doctoral program in Interdisciplinary in Education and is also a diversity/ equity/inclusion consultant that works with educators to create inclusive pedagogies for diverse students, particularly exploring best practices to create anti-racist pedagogies in K-12 and institutions of higher learning.

One of the more famous ones being that of a honey seeking stick figure robbing a wild bee colony was found in Valencia, Spain. And the first human to go for the honey gold likely observed primates trying it first—and even though they probably witnessed the wrath of the bees, they still chose to strive for the spoils of war. The pain of a bee sting is short-lived, while the glory of honey lives on. The first domesticated beehives trace back to the Egyptians, who would carve out pseudo hives for swarms in tree trunks. Unfortunately, this method often resulted in hives being destroyed by the ancient beekeepers during honey harvesting. The practice continued until the mid-19th century, when the American apiarist Rev. Lorenzo

But when you think about it, bees would make honey even if we didn’t seek it out. Also, apiarists—the fancy word for beekeeper—build elaborate hives for their colonies, giving the bees a safe haven for honey making. When you think about it like that, the bees have got it made. For us humans, honey is most likely a staple in every kitchen cabinet in the world. Each one of us have either a bear-shaped squeeze bottle or traditional glass jar of sweet, sticky amber goodness at the ready for teas, sauces or as a way to ease the ingestion of something bitter or medicinal. But what are the different types of honey and who was the first brave soul to stick their hand in a wild bee nest?

(Photo courtesy of the Massapequa School District) Massapequa High School has been named a Scholar-Athlete School of Distinction for its high level of academic achievement among student-athletes. It was one of 56 schools in the state to receive this recognition from the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. Students are named scholar-athletes for maintaining a grade point average of 90 or higher during a competitive athletic season. Scholar-athlete team recognition is awarded when the team’s average GPA for 75 percent of the roster is at least a 90. To earn the School of Excellence Award, 100 percent of a school’s varsity teams must receive the Scholar-Athlete team designation. For the 2019-20 school year, schools were awarded based on the fall and winter seasons only. At Massapequa High School, 22 teams met the criteria including boys and girls basketball, boys and girls bowling, cheerleading, boys and girls cross-country, field hockey, football, boys golf, gymnastics, boys rifle, boys and girls soccer, boys and girls swimming, girls tennis, boys and girls volleyball, boys and girls winter track and wrestling.

Three students from Jericho High School have broken a national fundraising record, which was previously set by one of the students’ older brothers last year. This year, students collected more than $430,000 in just seven weeks for the annual Leukemia and Lymphoma Society “Students of the Year” campaign. Team Just Cure It (2.0) was led by co-candidates 15 year olds Harrison Berger, Alexandra Gatoff and Jake Gershwind, each of who attend Jericho. Berger’s brother Ryan was a co-candidate for Team Just Cure It (1.0), which was the previous national record holder, set in 2019. “What they have accomplished is nothing short of remarkable,” Sara Lipsky, president of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Long Island chapter, said. “Cancer doesn’t stop for a pandemic and to see what they accomplished provides families who are fighting cancer together a lot of hope.” The younger Berger says the outlook for fundraising was intimidating, including rising to the challenge of beating his brother’s team’s success. But he says he saw the opportunity to develop a network and personal skills of persuasion, including talking CEOs into donating tens of thousands of dollars for the society, as something that would benefit him long term as well.

Sue Matera from Hicksville is well aware of how Alzheimer’s can affect those you love, as her husband, Tony, lived with the disease for many years. After his diagnosis, they sought happiness and purpose despite everyday challenges that progressed quickly over time. Tony’s diagnosis also ignited a passion for philanthropy. Notably, 2020 is much different than others, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to play a jeopardizing role on nonprofits, specifically the Long Island Alzheimer’s and Dementia (LIAD) Center, an organization that provides hands-on services to diagnosed individuals and caregivers, which the Matera family became regulars at. With the center temporarily closed, Matera decided to do what she can to assist in a safe, and hopefully soon, reopening. She connected with Isabella Salas-Allende, organizer at Save

The Frontline, whose mission is to purchase, consolidate and distribute personal protective equipment to healthcare workers and face coverings to under-served and at-risk communities. Matera and Salas-Allende, along with assistance from Cornell University and Ithaca Generator, donated 100 face shields for the LIAD Center’s staff and program participants. “I could only assume how difficult it would be for [the LIAD Center] to once again open their doors to offer their much-needed services to a population of diagnosed as well as caregivers/families,” Matera said. “They truly need all the support they can get. Just walking into the LIAD Center and seeing all the smiling faces can brighten up the day of someone living with dementia, diagnosed or caregiver. Tony attended their top-notch day program and I their support group, which was informational and extremely helpful.”

The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles went one step further by asking viewers to choose a masterpiece and to re-enact the work at home in an activity called the Getty Challenge. Wantagh Elementary School art teacher Laura Pashayan could not resist the opportunity to have her students participate in the challenge. She instructed her students to peruse the museum website for their favorite piece of artwork and to re-enact the scene using materials at home. Some of the artwork chosen by the students included Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” Norman Rockwell’s “Girl at the Mirror,” René Magritte’s “The Son of a Man,” and Grant Wood’s “American Gothic.” In an Instagram posting by the museum, students participating in the challenge were better able to identify and understand famous works of art, and through their emulation of an art piece, learned how to pay attention to facial detail, to orient their compositions by casting similar lighting, think abstractly by focusing on shapes and colors and to express creativity by the household objects chosen. Pashayan said she received a lot of great feedback from parents and students. “The students have blown me away with their submissions during this quarantine,” she said. “They will bring a smile to your face as they did mine.”

Be Beautiful in Your Own Skin!

Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg can help you overcome cellulite with Cellulaze™, a new treatment that targets cellulite at its source, which lies below the skin. Using fiber optic laser technology, this procedure reduces the dimpling effect of cellulite while stimulating collagen production for a thicker, smoother, and more elastic skin tone. Cellulite occurs because of circumstances beyond your control, which can make this dimpling of the skin on the thighs and buttocks especially frustrating. The Cellulaze™ Procedure targets the bands of connective tissue to dramatically reduce the indentations that appear on the skin’s surface. The procedure begins with the administration of a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Next, Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg makes two very tiny incisions, each about the size of the tip of an ink pen. The Cellulaze™ laser fibers are threaded through a cannula (a very small tube) that is inserted through the incision site. The laser releases the bands of connective tissue and levels the larger bumps of fat. Meanwhile, the thermal energy produced by the laser stimulates collagen production (collagen is a group of natural

Dozens of volunteers including students from several local school districts volunteered their time to assist with Friends of the Bay’s monthly cleanup. The volunteers helped to clean up West Shore Road, a new location for the organization’s effort. “The walkway along the bay has seen a great increase in pedestrian traffic as the pandemic began, with accompanying trash,” Friends of the Bay president Bill Bleyer said. “So we thought it would be a great new place to send volunteers.” The response was so good that the registration had to be cut off at 40 volunteers.

proteins that give skin its youthful elasticity). During this process, some of the fat cells will liquefy, and they will be gently pressed out from beneath the skin. In total, the Cellulaze™ procedure typically takes between one and one-and-a-half hours to complete. Cellulaze™ is a procedure that involves very little downtime. Ninety-three percent of patients who have undergone Cellulaze™ have reported being satisfied with their results. Further studies have shown that after a year, Cellulaze™ patients achieve 25 percent thicker skin and 29 percent more skin elasticity. Living with cellulite can be incredibly frustrating. Diet and exercise cannot reduce cellulite. Liposuction and non-invasive procedures like Coolsculpt and Emsculpt trim down fat, tone and reshape your body, but can’t get rid of cellulite. Fortunately, Cellulaze™ is helping many patients to achieve dramatic, long-lasting cellulite reduction. Don’t wait any longer to start feeling confident and beautiful in your own skin.

Roslyn Summer Camp Goes Virtual Students prep for college during the pandemic

BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

czaweski@antonmediagroup.com

daptation in a time of uncertainty has been a defining testament to our education system during the COVID-19 pandemic. The virus that swept the state — and continues to ravage the country — upended traditional classroom settings and educational institutions across the board, from summer camps to college campuses. Time and time again, educators have demonstrated their ability to pivot on a dime — and students are rising to meet the changing times. For the first time in its 54 year history, Summer Discovery Camp in Roslyn took its academic offerings online this year for a virtual experience dubbed Summer Discovery Online. With more than five decades of experience running residential pre-college programs, Summer Discovery is regarded for providing high school students with the opportunity to go to various prestigious colleges for twoto-four week sessions. Students take classes taught by college professors and experience the college campus life to gain college readiness. In light of COVID, the camp went fully online, offering students the chance to be part of virtual courses, virtual activities with students from around the world, and to be a part of exclusive college readiness workshops. This year the camp provided more than 25 pre-college courses at leading universities including UCLA, CU Boulder and UT Austin. Students immersed themselves in courses such as Ideagen Global Leaders Academy Powered by Microsoft; Business of Entertainment, Media and Sports; Advertising in the Digital Age; Issues in Economics and more. Despite the lack of in-person interaction, the students got a lot of the digital experience. “I am having a very good and enjoyable experience with Summer Discovery Online,” student Jude A. said, who participated in the Future Global Leaders Academy, presented globally by Microsoft. “Everything is so organized and easy to access and understand. I feel very comfortable in my class and it’s easy to talk and

discuss different topics. I thought it would be much more confusing getting to all my classes because I’ve never done something online like this before, but it was organized very well.” Prior to this summer, Summer Discover did not offer online education but was quick to transition to a digital platform in order to continue to provide students with a foundation for a competitive college application. The programs were designed to be engaging, as many struggled with online learning during the spring semester. There were no muted Zoom calls or self-guided through Youtube videos. The instructors developed content and projects to connect students virtually throughout the program. “The entire company worked together in teams to build a robust offering and create a positive and comprehensive online experience for students,” Liz Ringel, Summer Discover Chief Marketing Officer, said. “We

built a model that was truly interactive and have received an overwhelming positive response.” With college and career workshops, students also learned how to research their future college, improve public speaking skills and gain application tips. This year’s summer program welcomed students from across the United States, as well as internationally. “I think it’s a good way to get your mind ready for the future years,” student Julia R., who also partook in the online Ideagen Future Global Leaders Academy, said. “It’s never too early to start planning and discovering new college info.

Island Drafting and Technical Institute — The College for Careers® Island Drafting and Technical Institute (IDTI) was founded in 1957, and is staffed by faculty members who have had professional and practical experience in the engineering, architectural, CADD (Computer Aided Drafting/ Design) and computer and electronics fields. The Institute is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, and is authorized to confer two-year associate degrees by the New York State Board of Regents. The Institute’s aim is to graduate students who are well trained and technically qualified so that they may enter their chosen field or continue their education at the baccalaureate or higher level. Island Drafting and Technical Institute has over 50 years of leadership and experience in preparing Long Islanders for careers. By staying abreast of the latest developments in the industry, the Institute continues to provide the personal attention students need to succeed. IDTI began life as the brainchild of Joseph P. Di Liberto, a senior design engineer at Republic Aviation in Farmingdale. Working at Republic by day and teaching by night, he started the school, then known as Aircraft Trade School, with just eight students. “Mr. D,” as he was known, handled the admissions, administration, and teaching all himself, with help from his wife, Gloria. After several years, Di Liberto moved the school from its original home in Amityville, N.Y.,

to the location it has called home ever since — 128 Broadway in the Village of Amityville. In June 1959, the school incorporated and its name was changed to Island Drafting School. In March 1973, the name of the school was changed to its current form — Island Drafting and Technical Institute. IDTI was first accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools on January 21, 1967, being on the first list of schools ever accredited by NATTS. In February 1997, the school was authorized by the New York State Board of Regents to confer the Associate in Occupational Studies degree. Under this authorization, the Institute is approved to offer degree programs in computer aided drafting and design/mechanical and computer aided drafting and design/ architectural. In December 1997, the Institute was approved to offer degree programs in electronic and computer service technology.

president James G. Di Liberto has been a fixture at the Amityville campus since the 1970s. And, John G. Di Liberto, who joined the school in 2000, got his start at IDTI handing out leaflets back in the 1960s. In June of this year, Forbes magazine ranked IDTI number 12 on their list of the Top 30 Trade Schools in America. Despite the technological changes of the past half-century, particularly on Long Island, and as drafting tables give way to computers, and drafters move from drawing airplanes to designing buildings, IDTI has continued to provide educational and employment opportunities for its graduates through concentrated, highly structured programs of study that prepare students for careers. Island Drafting and Technical Institute — The College for Careers.®

IDTI also offers to industry, as well as to individual job holders, skills training to improve on-the-job capabilities. Programs can be customdesigned for particular companies, in addition to the extensive program offerings regularly available. Though Joseph Di Liberto passed away in 2002, IDTI’s mission has been carried on by the next generation: his two sons. Current school 214601 M

Doctors In The House NYU Long Island School of Medicine welcomes med students with white coat ceremony

White Coat Ceremony is a right of passage for every soon-to-be doctor entering medical school. Even this year, coming on the heels of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, the initiation was a profound milestone for the hardworking class of NYU Long Island School of Medicine. Last month, the institution hosted a White Coat Ceremony following all the social distancing safety precautions to mark the occasion. The recognition honored the graduation elite class. More than 4,200 students vied for the 24 admitted slots for the “tuition-free”, illustrating the unwavering dedication of these individuals entering the field of medicine during this challenging time. “Our students are entering this field with great solemnity and clarity of purpose, with the pandemic energizing them even more so to help advance medical care,” Steven Shelov, MD, Founding Dean and Chief Academic Officer, NYU Long Island School of Medicine, said. The school’s White Coat Ceremony included students reciting a version of the Hippocratic Oath acknowledging their commitment to serving humanity with honor, compassion and dignity. During the ceremony, each student donned a white medical coat in a ritual that could be seen by family and friends via Zoom. “Medicine is about lifelong

As part of the hybrid model, tele-educational aspects will include weekly pre-recorded lectures by faculty, followed by twice-weekly, virtual Q&A sessions. For in-person classroom training, the school will adhere to the strictest of infection prevention protocols, allowing for critical learnings such as anatomy and the delivery of outpatient clinical care. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be provided and utilized, including face shields as appropriate for up-close educational sessions. In-person learning sessions will be problem-based, with small groups of about eight students each pursuing medical case scenarios to collaboratively identify and diagnoses illnesses. Students will virtually research relevant medical issues on their own to contribute to in-person discussions. Incoming students come from all over the country with 17 from the Tri-State area — including three from Long Island —as well as from Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Virginia. They hail from top universities such as Brown, Columbia, Duke, Johns Hopkins and NYU, as well as schools in the CUNY/SUNY system such as City College of New York, Brooklyn College and Stony Brook. —Submitted by NYU School of Medicine

Conservation In The Age Of COVID-19 Study outlines why eco-initiatives should play a role in rebuilding BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

czaweski@antonmediagroup.com

ew Yorkers believe conservation efforts and eco-initiatives should be part of the post-pandemic rebuilding. That is according to recent research conducted by The Nature Conservancy, which surveyed voters representing the demographics across the state with encouraging results. In early June, the environmental policy and advocacy group began reflecting on the role nature could play in building the future in the age of COVID-19. To understand how public attitudes on environmental initiatives are being shaped by the pandemic, The Nature Conservancy and FM3, a public opinion research firm, polled likely voters from all demographics and party lines. The results: New Yorkers want action on eco-initiatives. Seventy percent of New York State voters surveyed believe that the pandemic recovery effort presents an opportunity to plan for future challenges, including climate change. The percentage of voters who believe that climate change will impact them personally is increasing. And, by a large margin, New Yorkers do not want to return to the past as it was. Quite the opposite — they want to create a much better future, according to the study. “People are thinking about these issues,” Jess Ottney, New York Policy Director at The Nature Conservancy, said. “Even during a time when so many people are suffering, New Yorkers really do care about these issues facing the state and the world. They want to build back a better future after this crisis.” What could that future look like? The Nature Conservancy tested a range of potential initiatives, and found that

voters are hopeful about the role that nature can play in these areas: Access To Parks & Beaches More than 90 percent of voters support making parks, open space and natural areas more accessible to New Yorkers statewide. This includes implementing more initiatives to promote equitable access to parks by directing funds toward low-income communities and communities of color, which disproportionately lack these resources. “During the pandemic, we have seen a record turnout at New York’s parks, beaches, [and] bays,” Ottney said. “We want to make sure they are accessible to everyone. The pandemic has put a bright light on the inequalities that exist in our society. There are a lot of open spaces and parks that are easily accessible for

some people, but not for all people. New Yorkers realize that and want to address that.” Clean Energy Job Creation Eighty-seven percent support restoring the jobs that have been lost in our clean energy industry and support creating new clean energy jobs. Voters also indicated that they liked the idea of creating jobs for young people aimed at reducing pollution, protecting land and water, and mitigating the risk of climate change. “There are really good paying and important jobs, such as installing solar farms and retrofitting buildings for efficiency so we can make sure the power we are using is not wasted,” she said. “Long Island has a huge opportunity with offshore wind, and all the related infrastructure that can generate jobs within that industry. These are investments we can make to have cleaner air and better job opportunities.” Action On Climate Change Ninety-two percent of voters also support investing in natural and man-made infrastructure to help protect New York against natural disasters, like severe flooding, storms, fires and floods. “One of the biggest issues that New Yorkers care about is climate change,” Ottney said. “The impacts on Long Island are significant so people on Long Island really care about protecting the environment.”

Reducing Vehicle Traffic Another proposal that garnered strong support, according to the study, is limiting vehicle traffic on some city streets to allow for play, exercise and outdoor dining — that proposal received 75 percent voter support statewide, not just in New York City. The Nature Conservancy said the initial findings give hope that — in a time when New Yorkers are very concerned about the economy and public health — they seem to value the role of nature in meeting the challenges. The organization is currently working with local, state and federal officials to make strides on these issues. “While the pandemic has interrupted life as we know it, New Yorkers are ready to act,” Ottney said. “As we are talking with policymakers and people in the community, we can see that New Yorkers want to work toward a sustainable future for kids and grandkids.”

Environmental Scholarship Available The Board of Directors of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society has announced the creation of an environmental scholarship in memory of the late Robin Hopkins Amper. Long Island students entering college this fall are eligible to apply for the $5,000 scholarship, regardless of where they attend college. The applicants must be pursuing education in environmental studies, sciences, ecology, sustainability, public policy or land and water protection. The scholarship is the result of a Matching Funds Challenge provided by the Rauch Foundation, the Greentree Foundation and others who have pledged donations by the public Applications for the scholarship are currently being accepted.

A Hybrid Approach

College courses will be a mix of in-person and online learning BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

ducation in the age of COVID is nothing short of tricky. Thrust into a sudden online academic model, colleges across Long Island pivoted to continue their courses under unprecedented circumstances. “Before COVID, 90 percent of our learning was done in-person so it was a very big change,” Michael R. DiBartolomeo, Vice President for Enrollment Management at St. Thomas Aquinas College, said. “We left campus on March 13 and immediately switched to online learning and we had virtual hours available for the rest of the semester. We pivoted quickly. Since then, we have been able to take a breath to reassess moving forward.” St. Thomas Aquinas College will resume classes on Sept. 8. But it will look a lot different than previous years. The libraries and campus quad will remain largely empty as the school will be offering a hybrid approach to higher education — at least for the foreseeable future. DiBartolomeo said the college will begin by offering a mix of online Molloy College President Jim Lentini touring the campus, with rising senior and in-person classes, with faceJack Ryan. (Courtesy of Molloy College) to-face learning priority given to students of the arts and science, who require hands-on laboratory classes to graduate. All other classes will remain online, with the exception of freshman students who will be able to attend school on campus. “We want our first-year students to meet their faculty and make connections with all the proper social distancing in place,” he said. “We will reassess after a few weeks to see where we are at with the virus and the Department of Health. It will be a phased approach.” A phased approach is also being implemented at Molloy College in Rockville Centre and St. Joseph’s College, with campuses in Patchogue and Brooklyn. All of the colleges have spent the summer devising plans for a fully online learning experience winning option. classes, as well as conducting extenwhen COVID first swept New York St. Joseph’s College (SJC), which is sive in-depth cleaning and adding resuming classes on Sept. 9, will offer a campus-wide signage outlining safety in March.

around the Canvas learning management system. The hybrid option combines the remote option with an in person component. Students will come to campus for a class for half of the course sessions and the other half of instruction/interaction would take place remotely. An example of this would be for a class that normally

meets on Mondays and Wednesdays — with half of the classes coming to campus on Mondays and the other half coming on Wednesdays — with the remainder of the instruction/ interactions taking place remotely. Students taking a class with the in person option would come to campus in the same manner that they would during a normal semester. SJC will also offer a full complement of online courses. The difference between this option and the remote option is that these courses are offered in an “asynchronous” manner, meaning that class activities are not tied to a set schedule and that students and faculty would not be interacting with each other in real-time as they would with the remote option. Prior to the start of the semester, students will be provided with a schedule of classes that indicates which courses will be offered in which modalities. They will then have the opportunity to adjust their schedules accordingly. The college will be opening up in-person classes to students who require labs, as well as to the incoming freshman class. “One advantage is that we’ve now had several months to prepare for the fall semester,” Donald Boomgaarten, president of St. Joseph’s College, said. “We are optimistic about the year.” Molloy College, which begins

its semester on Sept. 8, will also be offering a combination of in-person, HyFlex/hybrid and online classes with about 25 percent of the student body returning for in-person classes. The start of classes marks the first fall semester of the college’s new president, Dr. James P. Lentini, who most recently served as Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost at Oakland University in Rochester Hills, Michigan. “Our plan offers the best of both worlds,” Lentini said. “We are very prepared for the fall semester. The faculty has been working on their remote delivery and taking extra training. We have also enhanced the technology so we’re ready to provide a high-quality experience whether we are in-person or remote.” Classes will be held in a variety of formats, including in person. Molloy’s Hybrid Flexible (HyFlex) model consists of online and face-to-face instruction in a flexible manner. The hybrid model will have some online meetings and some synchronous face-to-face meetings in a classroom (or in the case of a lab or clinical component, at off-site locations), at designated times. Online synchronous courses will be online with all or some of the meetings at a designated time. And, online asynchronous will be online and weekly participation is required but there is no established meeting time.

In addition to navigating course formatting, SJC, Molloy and St. Thomas are also reopening residence halls under new safety guidelines. “We will be de-densifying the residents’ halls so there are not too many people there at a time,” DiBartolomeo said. SJC’s St. George Towers in Brooklyn will offer student housing with roommates being designated as “family units.” New protocols that will be put into effect to combat the spread of coronavirus, including, but not limited to, mandatory face coverings in all buildings, contactless temperature checks and frequent sanitizing of high touch areas and disinfection of on-and off-campus college facilities. The Patchogue location doesn’t offer on-campus housing. Molloy will also welcome students to live on-campus in the college’s three residence halls in single and double rooms, eliminating triples to reduce the amount of student-to-student contact. Additionally, increased signage in all residence halls will address social distancing guidelines, face coverings in public spaces, and handwashing and disinfecting. Rooms will be vacated on Nov. 24, at the start of the Thanksgiving break, and room and board costs will be pro-rated to reflect this reduction of time in the residence halls. Both SJC and Molloy have implemented a school-wide tuition freeze for all current and incoming students. The freeze locks-in tuition at the previous school year’s rates. “I am excited to begin my first fall semester at Molloy,” Lentini said. “In addition to our emphasis on the safety of the Molloy community, I am also pleased that our tuition freeze means that students will not see any increase from our 2019 levels. This is an important step for our students and their families, given that many of them have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 virus and the subsequent economic hardships.”

he way we work is changing. More pointedly, where we work is changing. Americans are working from home more now than at in any other moment in history. It has been an upward trend even before the coronavirus pandemic mandated stay-in-place orders. According to a recent Gallop poll, roughly 43 percent of workers conduct one or more functions of their job outside of the traditional office space. Since March, many non-essential workers have had the fortune of working from home for the first time. They’ve learned the benefits first-hand. There is no more hours-long commute. There is no wasted time getting sucked into mindless water cooler chatter while microwaving canned soup for lunch. There is no stuffy suit and tie. And remote employees are still getting their work done effectively. The cat is out of the bag, and employers need to face the fact that this is the new normal for workers who do not need to physically be at their job in order to perform it well. We’ve all had that one boss who believed that if they didn’t see you at your desk, you weren’t working. As author Olga Khazan points out in her recent Atlantic article, Work From Home Is Here to Stay, “Workers might resist being yanked back into offices after they’ve enjoyed the luxury of never changing out of their pajamas.” It is time to get on board. Don’t be the business owner who decided social media was a flash in the pan and is now scrambling to slap together a

company Facebook page to reach clients digitally during the pandemic. Smart potential job candidates know to steer clear of antiquated companies with woefully outdated business models. Here is why every business owner must consider implementing a work-fromhome policy.

Savings

There are many good reasons for employers to consider adopting a flexible schedule or work-fromhome policy, which I’ll go more in-depth into later, but let’s start with the bottom line: Money. Better profit margins are good for employers, employees and the economy. According to Global Workplace Analytics, U.S. companies could increase their bottom lines between $525 and $665 billion annually by allowing telework. This savings comes in the form of real estate, absenteeism, turnover and increased productivity. That equates to roughly $11,000 in savings each year per employee. The company’s recent research showed that during the pandemic, American employers are saving more than $30 billion per day by allowing employees to work remotely. It is not just employers who save. Remote employees save between $2,500 and $4,000 per year by working at home just half the time. Those figures are attributed to reduced costs for travel, parking and food.

Productivity

Prior to the pandemic, FlexJobs’ annual survey in 2019 showed that 65 percent of workers believed they’d be more productive if they could work from home. Those surveyed called out productivity suckers like commuting, chatty co-workers, office politics and inefficient meetings. Without these distractions, workers can get into the flow, a mental state of focused attention so intense that it does not allow us to have cognitive bandwidth left for anything else, as it is defined by Positive Psychology. For so many 9-to-5ers, the stress starts from the second the alarm jerks them out of bed. Then it is showering, picking out an outfit, getting dressed, getting little Johnny dressed in his favorite green shirt you can’t find anywhere; then it is out the door for an hour-long commute. By the time they get to their desk at 9 a.m., they are exhausted and overspent. It will be at least 45 minutes on Facebook before they reply to your email. At home, workers can maximize their time and energy, which results in higher performance. Instead of braving traffic, they are at their computers, getting a jump start on the day’s tasks before most get their daily Dunkin’ order. Khazan writes, “Anecdotal evidence indicates that people working remotely are currently working longer days.” Employers who were once hesitant to offer work from home policies are changing their tune because newly remote employees are proving

that they can get their work done from anywhere, even under the most unpleasant circumstances.

Inclusivity

The benefits of employing a diverse staff can not be overstated. As outlined in the Forbes article, Why Workplace Diversity Is So Important, And Why It’s So Hard To Achieve, “a host of other highly credible researchers have shown, it makes your organization more effective, more successful and more profitable. Employing professionals of different races, genders, and sexual preferences make companies a magnet for original insights and out-of-the-box thinking. It makes the brand’s message accessible to a wider audience, and who couldn’t stand to relate to more customers? “Remote work enables companies to embrace diversity and inclusion by hiring people from different socioeconomic, geographic and cultural backgrounds and with different perspectives — which can be challenging to accomplish when recruiting is restricted to a certain specific locale that not everyone wants, or can afford, to live near,” writes author Emily Courtney in a recent FlexJobs piece entitled The Benefits of Working From Home: Why The Pandemic Isn’t the Only Reason to Work Remotely. Courtney makes an excellent and valuable point when it comes to easy ways businesses can support diverse communities — and reap the benefits of employing people with different

perspectives. She goes on to say that remote work provides opportunities to those with disabilities or family caregivers that require an alternative work schedule to accommodate a loved one’s doctor’s appointment. Remote work is also great for tapping into single parents who don’t have the luxury of childcare. Many qualified candidates are often overlooked if their lifestyle or circumstance doesn’t fall within the confines of the traditional onsite 9-to-5 gig. Don’t squander talent.

Sustainability

I am mathematically challenged, but even I can get this equation. Fewer people commuting = Fewer cars on the road = Reduced carbon footprint. In 2020, climate change must be addressed in corporate social responsibility policies. That can be accomplished by adopting work-fromhome policies. There is ample evidence of the negative impacts of global warming that this article will not detail, but I will share this, “Air pollution has dropped to unprecedented levels across the world as major cities and countries impose lockdown measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus,” reports CNBC. Just three months of working from home had a measurable impact on the environment. That is substantial. We often wonder how one person can help fix a global crisis like climate change. It took another global crisis, COVID-19,

to help answer that question.

Happier and Healthier Employees

If more money, increased productivity, a diverse workforce and a healthier planet weren’t good enough reasons to explore work from home policies, consider the people who work for you. • Pre-pandemic, Owl Labs surveyed 1,200 U.S. workers to compile its 2019 State of Remote Work report. There were a few key takes aways that should catch the eye of a modern employer, specifically in the areas of happiness, loyalty and retention. • 82 percent of respondents agree with the statement that working remotely would make them feel more trusted at work. • 80 percent of respondents agree that working remotely would make them feel like their employer cares. • 74 percent of survey respondents agree that the ability to work remotely would make them less likely to leave their employer. For many employers, it is time to read the writing on the wall. Post-COVID, many employees are not ready or willing to return to the 9-to-5 grind. The good news is that employers don’t need employees’ physical presence to run a highly effective business. Remote employees, or employees with the option for flexible schedules, are productive, less likely to jump ship, and happier, according to the research.

Post-COVID Career Outlook Top career experts share their best job hunting tips BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

czaweski@antonmediagroup.com

Not since the great recession of 2008 have we seen the job market and economy backslide quite like now. COVID-19 swept the nation, upended regularly scheduled programming, leading to pay cuts and layoffs that impacted even the most competent of employees. Whether you’re a new grad or seasoned professional, part of adjusting — and thriving — in this “new normal” is positioning yourself as solid hire in the post-COVID job market. These career experts shared their foolproof tips to give you a competitive edge in your search.

Know Your Value Knowing your value is key to cutting through the fluff and ensuring your content leaves a positive and memorable mark on these hiring managers and recruiters. Show them you offer this value that they can use in this open requisition. Why is it open? What pains do they have because it’s open? Once you can hone in on that, you can start to massage in key-value- and accomplishments-based content that make your resume pop and motivate these decision-makers to invite you in on an interview. Most people have skills and experience that can transfer nicely to another industry or job, the key is knowing how those skills reasonably transfer, and what sort of value they bring to the prospective employer. Some common skills that immediately come to mind are: Cross-Functional Communications — For example, each day you talk with different people of different socio and economic backgrounds. Data Analysis — For example, each day you look at different options to consider which should be prioritized, not knowing that subconsciously you’re sorting data to determine value. Document Control — For example, each day you control your messaging, both physical (mail) or digital (social media, email), as well including where to put email attachments and stored information. Strategic Planning — For example, each day you strategically plan out both shortand long-term goals to drive personal and professional productivity. —Matthew Warzel, CPRW, President of MJW Career

Hone Your Personal Brand

“A personal brand is the creation of a focused, authentic and consistent perception of how you will add value, who you serve and why you’re unique. I recommend that every job seeker get very clear on what their ideal goal is before they start looking for a job in any environment, but especially in the time of COVID because the job market is so disrupted. With so many layoffs, there is more and more competition for job openings and in order to gain notice, it will be very important to be crystal clear about how you can uniquely add value for the roles you’re applying for. The better you can align your strengths, knowledge and experience with what is required for a role, the higher your chances of success. Some of the most important aspects of building a personal brand are focusing on: Authenticity—What’s important to you? It can be helpful to do a values

assessment to gain clarity on the relative importance of your values. Experience that supports your brand—How can you position the things you’ve done to support your vision for your career? (Think about work experience, classwork and volunteer work). Use your brand as a lens—When evaluating opportunities consider whether it fits with your personal brand and the story you’d like to tell about yourself. For example, you may choose to take a role at a lower salary if the values of the company align more closely with your own values than a role that pays more that doesn’t. —Terry McDougall, CEO/Career Coach at Terry B.

Nail The Interview

Define Your Goals

In a COVID-19 and socially distanced world, virtually all interviews now happen by phone, FaceTime, Skype or Zoom. This applies to both the initial conversation all the way up to and including getting an offer. Here’s my number one tip to rock this process: Prepare for your phone interview as you would for a traditional in-person interview. Have your pitch ready and perfect, anticipate the tough interview questions and expect the unexpected like being pressed to provide compensation details. That’s the new normal. They don’t want to invest any unnecessary time or expense in cultivating a candidate if there is a gap in expectations; either yours or theirs. A phone interview also makes it easier for them to end the discussion if there is a lack of interest. The benefits: You can refer to your notes. Have them spread out and easy to access. Review them thoroughly to re-acquaint yourself with key themes and ideas and be sure you can read your handwriting. You can take notes, too. That’s great for sending an impressive follow-up.

Define success for yourself. Get out a piece of paper and make two columns: “Personal” on the left and “Business” on the right. Usually, there aren’t more than 3-5 bullet points under each column. It’s not a to-do list, it’s a vision of your next chunk of time. Filter out the noise of what others want for you and hone in on your own authentic self, your own dreams and desires and then break that down into baby steps. The norm is that developing a career takes time, so don’t get discouraged if you can’t get your dream job or role immediately. There is so much to be gained from the various steps along the climb. If the job you want doesn’t exist, create it. If you can create it, then you most likely are where you need to be. Finally, the number one thing job seekers can affect immediately is their attitude, so bringing your unique brand of you to the interview process. Shift first level listening to second level, which focuses on the meaning of the conversation for the other person. When you show that you can listen at higher levels, you exhibit a workplace competency that is expensive to develop through training.

—Roy Cohen, Career Counselor & Executive Coach, Author of The Wall Street Professional’s Survival Guide

—Katherine King, Founder and CEO of Invisible Culture, and the inventor of the Intelligence Quotient (IIQ) training method

Use Linkedin To Your Advantage

“Recruiters are looking for candidates on Linkedin. Linkedin is your best chance to be found by a headhunter, and it’s the most up-to-date place when it comes to open positions. If you are not on Linkedin, your chances of being contacted are slim to none. My best tip would be to do your research when it comes to keywords. Read 10-15 job descriptions you think you are a good match for. Identify the keywords and skills showcased and make

Foster Connections

I am a big fan of networking. Networking may sound old fashioned in these high tech days but it still works. Most of my business comes from networking. My rule is that you should network in person during the business day and do it online after hours. People do business with people they know, like and trust so you have to get out there to build your reputation online and off. Prospective customers and jobs can come from anyone anywhere anytime so you should always be on your best behavior and make a great lasting impression. I also recommend finding mentors. I have had great mentors and champions throughout my career. In my corporate life, I had bosses, senior women or alums from my alma maters who took me under their wings to help me advance and show me the ropes. Good people tend to travel together personally and professionally so finding smart and generous people who can connect you to other like-minded people who give more than take and share their wisdom always leads to great opportunities and adventures in my experience. —Paige Arnof-Fenn, Founder & CEO Mavens & Moguls

sure your profile includes them. It works because it feeds the algorithm, securing you a better ranking in the recruiter’s search results. From a job search point of view, the most important thing is to have a polished profile, and it should be recent. Always add, remove items on your profile, as more recent profiles get better ranking. —Gabor Fogarasi, Linkedin Expert

How Military Skills Help A Career In Sales BY CHAD STORLIE

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

ales roles are some of the most difficult and the most rewarding of any position in any business. Sales roles whether in a major corporation, a small business, a food truck vendor, or on the floor of a retail shop require patience, skill, good nature, a deep understanding of the customer, and a daily willingness to go above and beyond to help the customer satisfy their shopping or information needs. A sales role requires you to educate, inform, negotiate, and conclude sales opportunities with a wide variety of different customers and to use different skill sets simultaneously to ensure a solution that meets both the customer’s needs and the needs of the sales organization. In short, sales roles are difficult but incredibly rewarding. There are several military skill sets that can make a sales role more enjoyable and more successful.

Be an Expert in Your Field & Have the Latest Corporate News

In the military, a great military leader not only sets the example in their own unit, but also helps other military units succeed. A salesperson is similar to a military leader because a salesperson needs to be a positive physical representation of all that a company is and aspires to be. By no means does a salesperson have to be perfect, but they need to be an expert in their industry. A salesperson needs to understand both their company’s products and services and how they help their customers excel in daily operations. One of the greatest benefits a salesperson performs is helping customers use the company’s products and services to deliver a better service for the customer’s. Another core attribute that translates from the military role to a sales role is bringing your customer’s intelligence on how to deliver better to their customers or what the customer’s competitors are doing. Expertise, industry intelligence, and dedication to the customer are common traits for both military professionalism and sales professionalism.

Be Honest, Conscientious, Respectful & Have Strong Follow Up

Naming the personal qualities of a solid military leader and a sales leader are startlingly similar. We both want to

be honest, respectful, conscientious and dedicated to our duty, and have a strong follow up on outstanding issues. In the military, we want our leaders to look out for our personal and professional well-being. In sales, we want the salesperson to look out for the well-being and success of their customers. There is no difference in leadership qualities between military leaders and salespeople. Each is ethical, honest and respectful of people and the organizations that they serve.

Listen, Take Notes and Display Initiative When Seeking Solutions

The best salespeople and military leaders are often quiet. They are quiet because they are seeking to understand, take notes, listen to what their customers want, and then taking the initiative to generate ideas and options that their organizations can successfully accomplish. A poor salesperson and military leader are loud, boastful, and talk a “solution” before they even fully understand the problem that they are trying to solve. Listening is an underrated skill and a highly appreciated quality

for both military and sales leaders. When someone listens, takes notes, ask questions, and then provides ideas for a solution based on what they heard, and not what they have done in the past, we know that person is there to help us find a solution, and not just to provide an “easy” answer. Adjust & React to New Priorities Quickly Adjusting to changes quickly is a quality that the military and salespeople both experience quite often. Priorities change due to changes in leadership, actions exhibited by competitors, changes in priorities, changes in strategies, changes in budget, other personnel changes, and different ideas about what the organization needs “today.” Change happens and disrupts plans for leaders in both the military and in sales. What great military and sales leaders do is to react quickly and comprehensively to the changes and deliver another proposal quickly that meets the needs and expectations for the customer’s new strategy to be successful. Staying with the “old” plan helps no one. Delivering a

new plan quickly that addresses the changes in strategy/budget/priorities helps everyone succeed.

Advocate for Your Customer to Create Loyalty

In the military and in business, loyalty is the best outcome for leaders. In the military, loyalty goes “down the line” from military leaders before it comes back up. Lower-ranking military personnel need to see, trust and experience loyalty from their leaders before they provide their loyalty in return. Likewise, for a salesperson and a business, customer loyalty provides the greatest financial rewards for a business and a company. If I create loyalty in a customer, then that customer trusts my products and services and I know that I need to be an incredibly strong internal advocate for that customer in my business organization. Loyalty to and from customers is some of the best personal and business outcomes that military and sales leaders can achieve.

Live A Healthy Lifestyle & Get Home Often

Military and sales positions are highly stressful. Military and sales positions are where the front line “winning” occurs. Sales and military leaders need to promote their own exercise, sleep, healthy diets and control their schedules as much as possible to be near family, friends and other personal support. It is critical to remember, that military units and corporations will never love you and, in fact, are designed to succeed when you leave. Maintaining a strong level of personal and mental fitness means that salespeople and military personnel will continue to have great lives when they leave their organizations and move onto other roles. Being a successful salesperson and a military leader is difficult and stressful. Consistently acting in the best interests of both organizations while being ethical, honest, creative and conscientious ensures a successful career as a military leader and as a sales leader.

Locust Valley Middle School eighth grader Kathryn Kilpatrick beat the odds, as she has been selected as a Long Island Young Scholar of Mathematics by the Institute of Creative Problem Solving for Gifted and Talented Students. Each year, approximately 700 students are nominated for inclusion in this competitive program, and Kathryn is one of fewer than 100 students accepted for the 2020-21 school year. The institute explained that students selected are among the top 0.1 percent of all students in mathematics on Long Island within their grade. Kilpatrick was chosen after completing a rigorous entrance exam, a review of her report card and the recommendation of her math teacher. “Kate is an inquisitive student and a versatile learner. She loves a challenge

and is eager to impress,” Locust Valley Middle School math teacher Joseph Lee said. “She gained great experience this past year, as she challenged herself in our double accelerated honors math course and earned the top score for our school in the American Mathematics Challenge 8.”

Sid Jacobson JCC invites the community to join them at the drive-in this August. The JCC will host a series of drive-in events in its parking lot located at 300 Forest Dr., East Hills. The series will include a movie screening of Field of Dreams on Thursday, Aug. 6 at 8 p.m., a concert from The Allmost Brothers Band on Saturday, Aug. 15 at 7 p.m., and a concert featuring Penny Lane on Saturday, Aug. 22 at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $30

per event, $50 to attend two events, or $75 to attend all three events. Preregistration is required. Each ticket includes registration for one car and snacks. All proceeds will benefit SJJCC’s Emergency Fund. Attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations for Sid Jacobson JCC’s Community Needs Bank. Items in high demand include cereal, canned fruit, coffee, tea and apple sauce. To learn more about

General Douglas MacArthur High School’s Class of 2020 officially marked the end of their time in the Levittown Public Schools with seven abbreviated commencement ceremonies on July 27. Due to the national pandemic, the class was split into small, intimate events to adhere to New York State regulations. The seniors were honored on the field of the Levittown Memorial Education Center, surrounded by proud family, central and building administrators, MacArthur staff and board of education members. Dressed in their blue caps and gowns, each graduate sat with two of their family members and were stationed six feet apart from their fellow peers to follow social distancing guidelines. Assistant Principal Anne Rao opened each ceremony by welcoming families and distinguished guests. Following the National Anthem, Principal Joseph Sheehan spoke about the extraordinary class seated in front of him. “The Class of 2020 is leaving us this year with perhaps one of the most poignant send-offs that any of us can

During your time at Salk Middle School, you experienced the loss of a beloved classmate and friend, Lorenzo Fernandez, and made Team 20 live in our hearts forever. From all this, you have been forced to grow up quickly and you are no longer just children. You have faced loss and disappointment and dealt with it with the maturity and passion that is truly admirable.”

Tom Suozzi Addresses Concerns For Restaurants And Catering Halls

BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

f all goes well in the nation’s capital, $120 billion will be sent to restaurants and catering halls across the country. The RESTAURANTS Act of 2020 calls on the federal government to assist restaurants and catering halls that were forced to shut their doors since the pandemic created stayat-home orders at the beginning of March. While other portions of the economy, such as the airline industry, have received federal bail-out packages, restaurateurs have been left standing in the dust. Now, Congressmen Tom Suozzi (D—Glen Cove) and Earl Blumenauer (D—Portland) have introduced a program that will provide grants, not loans, to these businesses. On Long Island, this is vital as the restaurant and catering industries attempt to get back on their feet. The pair of representatives held a Zoom call on July 27 with business

The bill is officially entitled the Real Economic Support That Acknowledges Unique Restaurant Assistance Needed To Survive (RESTAURANTS) Act. “Catering, specifically weddings, on Long Island is a major industry and our catering houses have been completely shut down,” Tony Scotto, who owns

of losses and hardships resulting from COVID-19 shutdowns and economic impacts,” Jarnagin said. “We are grateful to Congressman Suozzi and the co-sponsors signed on to Congressman Blumenauer’s critical legislation that supports independent restaurants and catering halls, as well the countless vendors that rely on those outlets, who are the family-owned, small businesses that make up the fabric of our communities and our region.” Jarnagin explained this is a sector that needs to get back to business right away. Not every restaurant can do outdoor dining, and the same can be said about outdoor catering. “It’s critical that we address this,” she said. So the RESTAURANTS Act of 2020 will not only help these businesses re-open, but it will actually create longterm jobs for thousands of people. “Long Island and the piece of Queens I represent has about 8,000 restaurants with about 100,000 employees who have been impacted,” Suozzi said. “That’s just a little bit of Long Island and Queens. You have the entire country, and it’s much more than that.” Suozzi said Congressman Peter King (R—Seaford) is hopping on board as one of the co-sponsors for this bill, too. “Long Island has amazing challenges in terms of how you protect the little communities,” Blumenauer said. “The independent restaurant is the cornerstone of a community. Often, restaurants are the first job for many people.” The grants will be eligible to cover the difference for these businesses for revenues based on 2019 earnings compared to the projected revenues of this year. Expenses included in the RESTAURANTS Act will include payroll (but not for people earning more than $100,000 per year), benefits, mortgage, rent, utilities, maintenance, supplies, food, debt to suppliers, as well as other costs that can be looked at on a caseby-case basis. The bill was officially introduced to Congress on June 15 and it currently has 123 co-sponsors. It will likely be voted upon in the House of Representatives this summer before heading to the Senate for approval.

Scotto’s in Woodbury, said on the Zoom call. “Here on Long Island, it is not just catering. You have to take into consideration the trickle-down impact on vendors including florists, photographers, musicians, limousine services, bridal shops, tuxedo rentals, hair salons, hotels and others. It has been disastrous to so many.” Unlike the paycheck protect program (PPP) from the Small Business Administration (SBA), the RESTAURANTS Act proposes that business owners who receive compensation will not have to pay back the grants. The bill calls the $120 billion package the Restaurant Stabilization Fund, which will actually generate about $183 billion in benefits, with an additional $65 billion in secondary benefits. “In return, use of the Restaurant Stabilization Fund would not only help reduce unemployment, but would also jump start the economy by instilling confidence in consumers to re-engage in other economic activity after they resume eating at restaurants,” the bill reads. Suozzi believes the bill, should it pass, will have a tremendous impact on Long Island. With the tourism industry also hurting, he believes this will help boost local restaurants in areas that usually see an influx of travelers each summer and fall. “There is no question that the restaurant and catering industry has been hit so hard,” Suozzi said on the call. “Many businesses haven’t even opened at all because they can only hold parties of up to 50 people.” Kristen Jarnagin, the president and CEO of Discover Long Island, explained just how hard Long Island is getting hit financially due to the pandemic.

Valley Days and The Big Valley. In the 1950s, Davy Crockett made a comeback through Fess Parker’s portrayal of the man in a popular show. American boys donned Davy’s famous coonskin cap as the frontier remained popular in a suburbanized nation. Rawhide, a drama especially popular among New York men of a certain generation, marked the debut of Clint Eastwood. The latter is legendary as Dirty Harry, but Eastwood, in a slew of films, including High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider and The Unforgiven, became the successor to Wayne as the ultimate cowboy star. Times—and tastes—change. By the late 1960s, the anti-hero was in vogue. The neurotic urbanite on a psychiatrist’s couch was pushing out the cowpoke. The Westerns followed suit, most significantly in Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. In this 1969 movie, the outlaws were the heroes who both got the girl and the loot. Law enforcement officers were there to spoil all the fun. At the same time, Wayne enjoyed an improbable comeback. Playing Rooster Cogburn in another 1969 blockbuster, True Grit, Wayne finally won an Oscar. That set him up for a slew of old-fashioned Westerns: The Undefeated, Chisum, Rio Lobo, Big Jake and The Cowboys. But as The Duke neared the end of the road, his world seemed to die with him. Into the 1970s and beyond, television still trafficked in Westerns, but not with the same enthusiasm. Little House on the Prairie, a drama based on the novels of Laura Ingalls Wilder and starring Ponderosa veteran Michael Landon, was highly popular as

was Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, starring Jane Seymour. These shows were different. Chuck Connors, blasting his way down Main Street in the opening credits of The Rifleman, was out. The gentler side of American manhood, as portrayed by Landon, was now preferable. For decades, the Western has proved irresistible to the mandarins in Tinseltown. Tastes may ebb and flow, but you can be sure that moviemakers will be coming back to the OK Corral time and time again.

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

pening with one of the most recognizable themes in television history, Bonanza followed the lives and exploits of thrice-widowed patriarch Ben Cartwright and his sons Adam, Eric “Hoss” and Little Joe. They lived near Virginia City, NV, on a huge tract of land they named “The Ponderosa,” bordering on scenic Lake Tahoe. Ben was the kind of father every son wants: wise, kind, but firm and decisive, always looking to do the right thing. It was reported that creator/producer David Dortort wanted to contrast Ben with the goofy, ineffectual fathers then popular on sitcoms. Each son was from a different wife (who were shown in flashbacks) and the contrast of their differing personalities was at the heart of the show’s dynamics. The series wasn’t the typical shoot ’em up. Though the Cartwrights were not averse to using their guns, most episodes found a way to solve the dramatic quandaries and moral dilemmas by non-violent means. It rose above the limitations of television of that era by raising such issues as racism, domestic abuse, bigotry and anti-Semitism. Some Southern stations reportedly declined to show one episode that discussed the slavery-affirming Dred Scott Supreme Court case. Bonanza was also one of the first series to be presented in color. Not surprisingly, an early sponsor was RCA, then-owner of NBC and a pioneer in manufacturing and marketing color television sets. After Gunsmoke (CBS), with its 21-year run, Bonanza was the longest-running Western. For nine years, it was among the top five rated shows, a then unequaled run, with three years at No. 1. Even its least-watched episodes drew an audience that would dwarf today’s top draws. The series about a close-knit fictional family was a throwback to an era when real families gathered in the living room or den after dinner to collectively watch the one television set in the home. It continues to be popular, available on such nostalgia channels as TVLand and MeTV.

First episode: Sept. 12, 1959 Last episode: Jan. 16, 1973 Total episodes: 431 No women

Though each of the Cartwrights was periodically involved with a visiting female, these women invariably met an untimely end, left town or found someone else to marry. It was jokingly referred to as the “Cartwright Curse.”

Chef’s cookbook

Victor Sen Yung played the Cartwrights’ cook Hop Sing. In real life, he reportedly was an accomplished Cantonese-style chef and published a cookbook in 1974.

Musical Cartwrights

Most of the cast members released records and all four Cartwrights sang on the 1964 album “Christmas at the Ponderosa,” featuring holiday favorites.

Star Trek Connection

Actors from the original series who made a guest appearance included William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, Grace Lee Whitney, Majel Barrett and Walter Koenig.

Big bucks

It was reportedly the most expensive series of its time, costing between $100-$150,000 per episode.

In Honor of Hoss

There’s a museum dedicated to Dan Blocker in his hometown of O’Donnell, Texas.

Theme park

From 1967 to 2004, there was a Bonanza-themed park in Incline Village, Nevada. It included a complete re-creation of the show’s ranch home.

Show steaks

Though their popularity has declined, both the Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouses were inspired by the series.

Clothing costs

The main characters wore the same clothes over the entire run of the series. This was done to lower production costs.

f you’re about to embark on a reading rodeo of the All-American Western genre (which you should before you see the movies), you’ll have your pick of the draw. From the historical and classic to the courageous and romantic, lasso up some whiskey and give these books a read.

True Grit By Charles Portis Mattie Ross, is only 14 years old when her father is shot by Tom Chaney, robbing him of his life, his horse and $150 in cash money. Ready to avenge her father’s death, Mattie leaves Fort Smith, Arkansas and enlists the help of one-eyed Rooster Cogburn, the meanest U.S. Marshal. Venturing into Indian Territory, the story follows Mattie’s journey as an eccentric, fearless and unflinching character, giving life to this American classic through and through. True Grit is Portis’ most famous novel. First published in 1968, it served as the basis for the movie of the same name starring John Wayne (and later another remake in 2010).

By Laura Ingalls Wilder We all read this one in elementary school. Reading Little House on the Prairie, by Laura Ingalls Wilder, has been a childhood staple for generations. This fictional novel, set in the late 1800s, is based in part on the author’s own experience. It’s the story of the Ingalls family and their life on the Kansas prairie, which details the hardships and pleasures of a family in the untamed West as well as a unique glimpse into America’s frontier history.

Riders of the Purple Sage By Zane Grey This old school Western by Zane Grey, is credited for kick-starting the Western as a genre. Jane Withersteen is a Utah rancher whose livelihood is threatened by a proposed marriage she does not want, until a lone cowboy named Lassiter comes to town. The novel highlights Withersteen’s battle to overcome persecution by

members of her polygamous Mormon fundamentalist church all while defending her right to befriend a non-Mormon. Originally published in 1912, Riders of the Purple Sage is considered the most popular western novel of all time.

Blood Meridian By Cormac McCarthy The incredibly grim Blood Meridian is an epic Western novel by Cormac McCarthy, which takes readers “to a world of gun and arrow shooting, scalping and breaking bottles over the heads of bartenders.” The more violent the better. The story follows a teenager referred to as “the kid,” and his experiences with the Glanton gang, a historical group of scalp hunters who massacred Native Americans and others in the United States–Mexico borderlands from 1849-50. Since its release in 1985, Blood Meridian has become recognized as McCarthy’s masterpiece, as well as one of the greatest American novels of all time.

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 23 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s not uncommon for people to claim qualities they don’t possess. They may even believe their own claims. Ultimately, the way people are always shows up in how they behave. You’ll predict people well this week as you observe how their words coincide with or rub against their actions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Most moves toward happiness are simple, but when a person is already sad, it’s harder to take mood-elevating actions. That’s why it’s essential to establish happy habits before you need them. A daily optimism practice such as writing down three reasons life is good can sustain you through many moods of life.

Chess match Solution: 23 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll consciously direct your mind to good thoughts, the sort that radiates through your skin and extends to the space you occupy and beyond. Good thoughts change how you see and are seen by people. Good thoughts rearrange the world to make it lovelier. All endeavors to upgrade your thinking will be worthwhile. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll deal in important matters and tend to what is crucial to a desired outcome. There’s so much that is more important than feeling good. You will busy yourself with what is right, effective, dutiful, respectful, loving, necessary, lucrative, prudent and more.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It will be tricky, and yet very important, to separate different kinds of wanting. There’s a kind that’s tied to societal expectation; that one is dangerous. If you want a thing because you think you are supposed to, or because everyone else seems to, you will likely be strangely unsatisfied by finally getting the thing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Look at a friendship at any given moment and what’s going on might appear unfair. But this is a long game. Things will balance in a variety of ways over time. As for business, it goes the opposite way. Seek financial advice because things that seem fine in the short-term could be disadvantageous to your big picture. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If one person gets something awesome, then it doesn’t mean there’s less for the next person. There’s no big treasure chest of good things being doled out, only people making good things happen. There’s plenty of creativity and pluck to go around. You realize this and become kinder to yourself and others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). New experiences fly in the face of what you previously learned. It will become very obvious that you were wrong before. It is impossible to hold the same values going forward. You’ll write a new way, try it on, see how comfortably it fits and make adjustments to the idea until it’s one you can live inside. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People need to feel needed. Knowing that you are essential in someone’s world is motivating and fortifying. But there is also a point in which the responsibility can be burdensome. Know your limits. Get in touch with your cravings for personal space and for free time in which you can do whatever you wish. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Competition can be the thrill that brings out your best or it can induce a belittling apprehension blocking you from delivering all you can. It’s all in how prepared you feel. Ultimately, perception and attitude will be the deciding factors. No matter what happens, you learn. So, there’s no way you ever lose. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). This week shows you working on a puzzle of sorts. You don’t have to figure out how everything fits right away, and, in fact, it will be satisfying to take your time. Get hands-on knowledge of as many elements as you can. There will be a grand and sudden moment when you’ll see what you need to do to bring it together.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You have a strong desire to help people see the abundant potential for wonder, excitement, love and fulfillment that is around them. So, you devote yourself to elevating others and, in the process, experience spiritual fulfillment as well as regular and raucous fun throughout the year. Bonus: a chance encounter and a story you’ll be telling for years, a shot at a job you never thought you’d be going for and, in February, the equivalent of a bag of gold. COPYRIGHT 2020 CREATORS.COM

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). One way to show yourself love is to spend time with people you genuinely enjoy. The converse is also true. You don’t always have a choice in the matter, but limiting your exposure to those who take special work to be around is an act of self-love. What else can you do to support and like yourself better this week?

SPORTS Northport’s Andy Lally Returns To NASCAR BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

ew race car drivers, if any, can turn right and left better than Andy Lally. The 45-year-old is no youngster, but experience pays off in motor sports. Lally, who hails from Northport, is one of Long Island’s most decorated racers of all time. His countless wins, combined with his ability to strap inside of any type of race car and succeed, puts him second to none in the modern era. The decorated racer is a five-time winner of the famed Rolex 24 at Daytona, a 24-hour endurance race. Teams have multiple drivers take shifts in each car, and Lally usually serves as the lead driver, meaning his stints are the longest during the event. His first triumph in the event came in 2001, followed by victories in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2016. Throughout Lally’s IMSA tenure in the Weathertech SportsCar Championship, there’s one thing that’s been on his mind. And that is winning a NASCAR race. Now, Lally is ready to do exactly that. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NASCAR dramatically changed its schedule. That meant adding a new racetrack to the list. NASCAR swapped out the race at Watkins Glen International in upstate New York with an event at the road course within Daytona International Speedway. The opportunity is perfect for Lally, who is teaming up with Our Motorsports to compete in that race on Aug. 15, as well as one a week prior at Wisconsin’s Road America. Lally’s No. 02 Chevrolet

is considered a pre-race favorite, specifically for Daytona, considering he’s a road course specialist. Both races will be broadcast on NBCSN. And the kicker? The Daytona road course is the same track Lally knows so well with those five Rolex 24 triumphs. Few other drivers in the field have experience competing at that racetrack. Lally’s journey in NASCAR, though, has been a roller coaster ride. He first entered the world of stock car racing in 2007, all while still competing full-time in IMSA. He ran three races in the ARCA Menards Series, three in the Gander RV and Outdoors Truck Series and two in the Xfinity Series. Lally’s steady improvement inked him a nine-race deal in the Truck Series in 2008, with a best finish of 11th. Then, it was time to go racing in the sport’s premier division, the NASCAR Cup Series. He made his Cup Series debut with The Racer’s Group (TRG) in 2009, competing at Watkins Glen and finishing 27th. The result left him hungry for more, and he ran another seven races for the organization in 2010. After winning his second Rolex 24, Lally departed full-time sports car racing for NASCAR. He won the Rolex 24 for TRG at in January of 2011, and then the organization focused on competing in NASCAR. Lally competed in 30 of 36 Cup Series races in 2011, being crowned the Sunoco Rookie of the Year. The year featured plenty of struggles for Lally, who earned an average

Andy Lally competes full-time in the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) Weathertech SportsCar Championship for GRT Magnus. (Photo courtesy of IMSA) finish of 30.8 and failed to qualify for three events. The next year, he went back to IMSA, competing for Magnus Racing. And yes, he started the next chapter of his

career with yet another Rolex 24 win. The two-time champion (2001 and 2006) hasn’t won it all since his return to IMSA. However, he is still a force to be reckoned with. Lally won four races between 2016 and 2017. This year, he finished runner-up at the Rolex 24 for Magnus, and he is eager to get back in the winner’s circle. In between his full-time IMSA schedule, Lally still made sporadic starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. From

2014 to 2018, Lally made at least one start in the series, with a best finish of fifth in 2017. But he hasn’t been in a stock car since 2018, when he ran for a much smaller team, with a top result of 10th. Now, Lally prepares for what might be the best opportunity in his NASCAR career. The Our Motorsports group has four top-10 finishes this year, and it’s their first year competing in the series. The organization is ready for a solid run with Lally, and it could be one of the best moments of his career if he can finally capture the checkered flag in a NASCAR race.

Local Athletes Participate In Virtual 5K Although the Greater Long Island Running Club and Northwell’s Plainview and Syosset Hospitals weren’t able to stage the 17th annual Heart and Sole 5K as a live race through the streets of Plainview this year, they did the next best thing, a virtual race.

Runners signed up for the event, paid their entry fee and had a week-long period to run the five kilometers wherever they wanted and report their times. Almost 160 runners and walkers registered for the virtual event, and 102 of them posted

their times. Not surprisingly, a couple of local runners—Jossi FritzMauer of Old Bethpage and Karen Friedman of Plainview— posted the fastest male and female times. Frizt-Mauer ran a time of 17:49 and Friedeman clocked in a time of 20:43,

which is her fastest 5K ever, and on a treadmill. Through entry fees and additional donations, a substantial amount was raised for the Deborah Tascone RN Caregiver Center at Plainview Hospital. “Nice job putting all the pieces together by GLIRC Executive

Director Sue Fitzpatrick and GLIRC Event Director Karen Schackner, as well as by Dr. Alan Mensch and Christine Patti of Plainview and Syosset Hospitals,” read a press release. —Submitted by the Greater Long Island Running Club
