2020 Year In Review Letter from the

Publisher

It’s safe to say that the year 2020 was not just one in which the world dealt with unprecedented amounts of loss, confusion and despair, but also a span of 365 days best left behind in our collective rear-view mirror. But while these were dark times, I also found 2020 to be a year of reflection and resilience, where people found a way to keep standing and staying strong. It’s been so much to steer through—the election, the virus, the changes that came with all of it, in addition to the suffering people endured in not having enough resources to provide for their families. And at a time when we could least afford it, charities took a major hit in what amounted to a double whammy because not only did they reel from the drastic decrease in donations they received, but it was felt even more by the people they serve. That said, I’m grateful to a number of organizations that helped local communities navigate through all these troubling and uncertain times. The North Shore Guidance and Family Center helped people get through the psychological trials and tribulations they were enduring under the weight of this pandemic and all the uncertainty surrounding it. The Safe Center was equally crucial in providing a lifeline to domestic abuse victims at a time when they were living under even more vulnerable circumstances given shelter at home policies. Likewise, The INN and a number of other organizations rallied to address food insecurity concerns, particularly important given the amount of first-time applicants looking for this kind of assistance. This past year also begged the question—do you believe in science? Thankfully, most individuals are wearing masks, but I admit to being alarmed at how many people have been ignoring common sense public health measures and spent the summer going to parties, ignoring social distancing and other guidelines. Thankfully, we have vaccines arriving and I will be more than happy to get inoculated. In terms of business, companies figured out creative ways to make cost-effective decisions while trying to still keep growing in the face of this new normal. As a newspaper publisher, I’m immensely proud of how the team at Anton managed to look at the whole business and decide where we’re headed in 2021. I think we’ve kept up with our advertisers and gotten the paper out every week. We’ve worked hard on improving our web presence, we still get to go to Zoom meetings and nothing has basically changed in terms of reporting the news. We’ve stayed true to our mission to deliver local news and get stories out to the communities we serve. We’re doing our job and we’re getting better at it. As we look ahead to 2021, I wish you and your families a wonderful holiday season and the happiest and healthiest new year. My hope is that the best is yet to come, even as we pause to remember and honor people that we’ve lost, all while carrying them forward in our hearts.

Nassau Museum Installs Major New Art T he Nassau Museum of Art unveiled a major new addition to its nationally recognized sculpture garden, the most important new work to be added to any museum collection on Long Island and the first significant addition to the Nassau Museum’s outdoor collection in more than a decade. The work is Dreadnought, a stunning example of Modernist sculpture by Joel Perlman, whose international reputation has been made by works of a similar scale in London, Manhattan and in the Hamptons—the Parrish Museum recently acquired one of his outdoor works. Well known in the art world as one of the stars of the Andre Emmerich Gallery as long ago as the 1970s, Perlman is a beloved professor at the School of Visual Arts and a significant figure in the art history of our time. The work was originally made in 1990 at Perlman’s studio in South Hampton.

It is a permanent addition to the Nassau Museum collection. The installation itself was a dramatic operation. The ironworks where Perlman had stored it created a special wooden cradle for its transportation from South Hampton to Roslyn Harbor. At dawn on the morning of Thursday, Dec. 10 it left the steel yard on a flatbed truck, along with a 100-foot-long boom crane that would be used to pick it from the truck and gently lift it to the concrete pad near the museum’s entrance where it will rest. The site was chosen by Perlman in consultation with museum director Charles A. Riley II, PhD. The artist and a team of installers were on hand during the day-long process of angling the work for maximal effect in sunlight. Its warm golden patina and powerful gestures made an immediate impact upon the art lovers and strollers on the museum

grounds that day, who stopped to gaze in awe at the process of seeing a massive steel sculpture lowered to its position. By mid-afternoon, the foot-long steel pegs that fit into the base were inserted and the crane boom retreated and the job was done. The sculpture joins 40 other works on the property by such major artists as

The steel sculpture weighs seven tons and stands 20 feet tall. Richard Serra, Mark di Suvero, Fernando Botero, Tom Otterness and Adolph Gottlieb, among others. The sculpture garden has been a landmark for lovers of outdoor art for the last three decades, and this significant addition will be a noteworthy event in the region’s art history. The Nassau County

Museum of Art is located at One Museum Drive in Roslyn Harbor. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Admission is $15 for adults, $10 for seniors (62 and above) and $5 for students and children (4 to 12). —Submitted by the Nassau County Museum of Art

Hebrew Academy Becomes Victim Of Online Cyber Attack BY CAROLINE RYAN

North Shore Hebrew Academy High School’s online homepage was flooded with anti-Semitic images, slurs and songs in an apparent cyber attack at around 4 p.m. on Dec. 14. Stopantisemitism.org, a website focused on exposing anti-Semitism tweeted during the attack “Nazi songs, imagery, messages continue to be posted. They have also leaked students’ and teachers’ addresses and credit card information.” The website also released images and video of the attack, which they posted to their Twitter page.

Early-Day Pandemic Saviors Local efforts helped offset PPE shortages

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

PE. Prior to COVID-19, this shorthand for personal protective equipment was merely an acronym whose meaning was mostly known only to medical workers. But once the pandemic hit, its scarcity in hospitals, nursing homes, myriad medical facilities and eventually, to everyday folks became a glaring public health issue given how contagious the airborne coronavirus is, particularly at a time when a vaccine wasn’t yet on the horizon. While the early federal response to PPE needs was a case of confused, mixed messaging, grassroots organizations, small businesses and private individuals immediately leapt into the fray to address the shortages. New Hyde Park’s Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation was one beneficiary. The facility received a major cross-state assist from Hatteras, a commercial printing firm based in Tinton Falls, NJ, that produced and delivered 2,000 face shields for Parker’s dedicated frontline health-care workers. Hatteras President Bill Duerr described the experience as “most humbling,” adding, “there’s been an overwhelming response.” Plainedge High School nurse and Mineola resident Miriam Shelvin launched Operation PPE Mineola, which started out as an online request for masks for local nurses who live and work around the community. In April, Shelvin’s organization sent 3,335 pieces of PPE to facilities and hospitals across Long Island, Queens and the rest of New York City. “I am so proud that a small community like Mineola was able to make so many pieces of PPE to donate to so many hospitals and healthcare centers,” Shelvin explained. Municipalities also got into the act as well. The Village of Farmingdale distributed 3,000 masks to village residents and seniors, along with those people who are immunodeficient. Masks were also delivered to myriad senior housing complexes in the

village including Grand Haven, The Knolls, Hardscrabble and Woodbridge. Additionally, Ken Marcus from Allstate Insurance, worked with Mayor Ralph Ekstrand and Eric Alexander of Vision Long Island and donated 100 N95 masks to the Farmingdale Fire Department and Daleview nursing home. Hicksville High School alums Kirk Larsen and Genevieve Jezick hit their sewing machines after taking to the Internet to find a template to create homemade masks. The pattern they found, known as the Olson (N95) mask, had multiple sizes, which made the pattern a lot more universal. A demonstration video from UnityPoint Health of Cedar Rapids in Iowa, helped Larsen and Jezick create a mask that employed pipe cleaners at the bridge of the nose to ensure better closure and a place for a HEPA filter. They revised, made more prototypes and started to produce the new masks immediately. Larsen and Jezick used a little quote on their Facebook and Instagram pages, regarding the creation of masks for the healthcare community: “What we’re doing is a drop in the bucket. When the bucket is empty, every drop helps.” PPE support came from some unlikely places, such as the Hicksville Library. It was here that library computer technician Dan Russ borrowed a 3D printer from his job to set up a command center in the kitchen of his Levittown home to create face shields. Among the local medical facilities that directly benefited from the Hicksville Library’s efforts were St. Joseph’s Hospital, Manhasset’s Northwell Health and Cerebral Palsy of Nassau over in Roosevelt. Despite the simplicity of his shield designs, Russ was pleasantly surprised at how they were received. “When I look at them, they look sort of cheesy in a way,” he said. “I was essentially giving them to people I know in the medical field that weren’t getting the proper equipment and they were super appreciative to get them. I was surprised at how happy they were to get them because they didn’t have anything at the time.”

Toy Mountain Drive A Success At JLC School

John Lewis Childs School students were encouraged to bring in storebought, unwrapped gifts for the annual Toy Mountain drive, held on Dec. 15. Due to this year’s need for social distancing, each class in the building received a specific drop-off time during their recess. This kept the students separated and safe while they dropped off the toys in the school’s Hunt Gym. Student council members, wearing masks and gloves, were stationed in the gym to assist the younger students pile their gifts

on the mountain. They also helped to pack up the toys once the drive was finished. By the end of the day, approximately 15 large garbage bags were filled with gifts and toys. The Hance Family Foundation picked them up so that they could be distributed throughout New York City, Brooklyn, Harlem and Jamaica as well as Floral Park. This year, they are being safely delivered by the NYPD. —Submitted by the Floral ParkBellerose Union Free School District

Village Passes Exemption Extension BY FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

The Village of Westbury passed a local law extending the time period when seniors can apply for a senior exemption on the village portion of their property taxes. The vote was unanimous at the Dec. 3 board of trustees meeting. During the discussion period, Mayor Peter Cavallaro said that Trustee Steven Corte was “one of the four or five most qualified people in the state to speak on this matter.” Corte, who works in the Nassau County Department of Assessment, said the local law “will allow the village to opt-in to subsection 8-A of Real Estate Property Law Section 467.” Section 467 covers exemptions for seniors 65 and over. “The law is primarily directed at

those seniors who get their tax bill and realize that they are paying the full tax and they missed the deadline to apply for the exemption,” Corte said. “It extends the deadline to tax status day—the first working day after the new year. In this case, it’s January 4, 2021. The application has to come in by that date.” Corte noted that village tax bills go out on June 1, and residents have until July 1 to pay without penalties. There is always a small percenatge of seniors who don’t realize that the exemption did not appear on the bill. There are income limitations, Corte observed, and the law applies only to renewals. “The other thing is you have to have a good cause [to apply],” he stated. “A good cause is basically anything that stopped you from getting [the application] to the village. Primarily, it’s medical, but it’s not

limited to that, certainly. It’s done on a case-by-case basis.” The village also supplies two forms for seniors. One designates a third party authorized to receive alerts when notices on tax bills are sent to the property owner. The other is a power-of-attorney document that will designate a third person to deal directly with the village on behalf of the senior. “We assume at that point that the senior cannot help themselves,” Corte observed. Corte said that the state left it up to individual municipalities if they wanted to opt-in and he recommended that the board do so. “It should be available—these things happen when we get older,” he said, adding, “No other exemption has the same time extension.” Cavallaro noted that the village

16 | DECEMBER 23, 2020 - JANUARY 5, 2021 • ANTON’S 2020 YEAR IN REVIEW

sends out a notice informing residents of all the different exemptions they are entitled to, So if someone turns 65, they will know to apply for a senior exemption. The mayor said that even though the law affects a few residents, “it’s important for us to do because seniors are struggling. Everybody’s struggling.” Corte added that the county property tax bills also contain the school taxes, which could easily top $10,000 per year. “So a 50 percent exemption is important,” he pointed out. The county also offers exemptions of varying percentages for veterans, volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers, persons with disabilities and others. The deadline for applications is Jan. 4, 2021. Call the county at 516-571-1500.

Sarah Grace Foundation Still Fulfills Mission In Challenging Year

Due to the health issues around the pandemic and the risk to children with already-compromised immune systems, local hospitals could not accept the typical goodie bags. Instead, the foundation provided 550 new factory-packaged toys and individual factory-sealed popcorn bags. For the same reasons, the foundation had to think outside of the box for its annual holiday drive. This year, the foundation worked with local pediatric cancer social workers and sponsored an Adopt-a-Family program. The extreme need for these families has not diminished, but has increased as a result of the pandemic. Through local fundraising drives being held to provide specifically for this program, the foundation accepted individual wish lists for 17 families and “Sarah’s Elves” began shopping to fulfill the individual requests. All gifts were drop-shipped direct to the family homes and requests for food or clothing were

fulfilled with gift certificates. “Gift certificates are great, but the smile on a child’s face when they unwrap the toy they specifically asked for is priceless,” Matthew Weippert said. “The foundation remains committed to the children we have served for 17 years and is extremely grateful for the continued support the community has provided.” The foundation is working on additional virtual-based fundraising while at the same time hoping next year the world reaches a new normal and in-person events will once again be possible. Visit the Foundation’s website at thesarahgracefoundation.org/ shop-donate if you would like to donate online. If you would like to send a donation, it can be mailed to the Sarah Grace Foundation at 17 East Old Country Rd., Unit B, PMB 202, Hicksville NY 11801. —Submitted by the Sarah Grace Foundation

hile many might think that food insecurity is not a reality on Long Island, another well-established organization has answered the call for a growing need in Nassau. Several months ago, the Islamic Center of Long Island (ICLI) in Westbury expanded its social reach to include a food pantry on Brush Hollow Road for distributions to church pantries. Westbury Mayor Peter Cavallaro, who helped secure funding for the ICLI center, said he felt strongly about hunger in the community. He recalled preparing food boxes as a boy; his mother Johanna co-founded the parish outreach at St. Brigid’s that eventually resulted in the food pantry. ICLI Board of Trustees President Habeeb Ahmed noted that the ICLI has worked with many food pantries, including those at St. Brigid’s Church and the Neighborhood House in Westbury, as well as St. Aidan’s in Williston Park and several synagogues. A single distribution center is not single-handedly answering the needs of Long Islanders. Other long-established organizations have doubled and tripled their distributions, and over the course of

children and families, food pantries on Long Island are looking to help people combat food insecurity during this time. Island Harvest, a food bank whose mission is to end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island, has been working tirelessly amid this pandemic to ensure that people don’t go hungry. “From March through November, Island Harvest Food Bank has provided supplemental food support to more than 400,000 Long Island families, many of whom have never sought food assistance before,” according to Randi Shubin Dresner, president & CEO, Island Harvest Food Bank. “The unprecedented health crisis and the resulting economic downturn has led to a surge in demand for food, and forced Island Harvest Food Bank to increase its purchases of food by 500 percent, spending nearly $3 million to make sure that no one on LI goes hungry.” Island Harvest Food Bank has distributed more than 9.4 million meals at 1,000 events across Nassau and Suffolk counties between March and November, representing a 52 percent increase over the same period last year. Shubin Dresner expects the need for food support to continue through 2021. —Additional reporting by Frank Rizzo and Caroline Ryan

s expected, Election 2020 was one for the record books. Held under unprecedented pandemic conditions, the presidential-year contest drew a record turnout. By one count, 67 percent of eligible voters cast ballots, the highest since women won the suffrage in 1920. In addition, early and mail-in (absentee) voting set records as voters feared crowded polling places.

The mail-in votes proved decisive in numerous races, especially at the presidential level. While results on Election Day seemingly gave President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Michael Pence victories in key states, absentee ballots reversed the outcomes. In some states, these ballots began to be counted as late as a week after Election Day, delaying final outcomes in many races. Media called the election for former Vice President Joseph R. Biden and his running mate, Senator Kamala Harris, on Nov. 7, when Pennsylvania put him over the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch. President Trump has yet to concede and has claimed widespread fraud. His lawyers and supporters have fought, without success, to overturn votes in swing states. These attempts have been rebuffed by judges, even on the conservative-leaning Supreme Court. Most observers believe these claims lack credit, and the election was fair.

22 | DECEMBER 23, 2020 - JANUARY 5, 2021 • ANTON’S 2020 YEAR IN REVIEW

On Dec. 14, the 538 electors who made up the Electoral College officially cast their ballots, giving Biden a 306-232 victory. Ironically, it was the same margin by which Trump had beaten Hillary Clinton in 2016, even as he lost the popular count by more than 3 million votes. In this year’s popular vote, Biden beat the president 81,268,867 (51.3 percent) to 74,216,747 (46.8 percent). Both figures easily eclipsed previous totals. Nassau County was a microcosm of the nation. Tallies on Election Day had the Trump/ Pence ticket ahead by 6,518 votes. However, as county and state Democratic Committee Chairman Jay Jacobs pointed out, his party held a decisive edge in absentee ballots. In the end, about 150,000 of the close to 733,000 ballots cast in the county came via the mail. Final official results gave Biden a 396,504 (54.11 percent) to 326,716 (44.59) edge. This compares to the 51.3 to 45.9 percent win by Clinton in 2016. Four years ago, Clinton won the state 58.8 to 37.5 percent. Biden slightly improved this total, 60.86 to 37.75 percent. Trump comfortably won Suffolk County by 11 points in 2016. This time around, he squeaked by with 232 votes. The two parties split the four congressional races that make up the vast part of Long Island. Republican Lee Zeldin beat back a challenge in the 1st District, while retiring GOP Congressman Peter King was succeeded by Andrew Garbarino in the 2nd District. Democrat Kathleen Rice won a fourth term in the 4th, while Tom Suozzi, in the 3rd, overcame an Election Day lead by Republican opponent George Santos to win a third term. The GOP had targeted the six Long Island state senators and charged them with being soft on crime on account of criminal justice reforms passed in the

2019 legislative session. However, they were able to oust just one, Monica Martinez of Suffolk County. John Brooks, Todd Kaminsky and Anna Kaplan won easily (Brooks ran unopposed). Kevin Thomas and James Gaughran were behind after Election Day tallies, but absentee ballots returned them to office. Nationally, Republicans picked up seats in the House of Representatives and more importantly for shaping future legislative districts after the Census reapportionment, kept their decisive control of the majority of state legislatures. The party also seems poised to retain control of the Senate, needing to win just one of two races in the upcoming Georgia runoff election. The GOP, according to exit polls, made gains among Latinos, African-Americans and Muslims, while the president reportedly bettered his 2016 totals with Black and Latino men and white women. A number of Democratic party dreams, fueled by polls, confident predictions and perceived weaknesses in GOP ranks, did not come to pass: a landslide sweeping Trump from office and repudiating the president’s style and policies; recapturing the Senate; and turning Florida and Texas blue. Asked about this disappointment by Anton Media Group, Jacobs replied, “I don’t know if it’s [lack of] persuasion on our part, but people bought into President Trump’s view of Democrats as bringing socialism, defunding the police and supporting rioters and looters. That was nonsense.” By contrast, in his state senatorial candidates’ TV ads, he observed, “They faced the cameras and told the voters that it wasn’t the truth. And it worked. That’s what we needed to do.”

Thinking Outside The Box: News From Temple Or Elohim

n these challenging times around the world, our country has transformed greatly. Since last Spring, we have all adjusted to a new method of work, education, entertainment and prayer. Many of us have new fashion accessories such as rhinestone sparkle masks and purple vinyl gloves while others may just have plain blue or white masks. As we are all trying to adjust our daily lives to this new normal, many organizations and establishments have found creative approaches to coping with the pandemic. Temple Or Elohim, A Community Reform Congregation, (TOEACRC), acted swiftly to ensure its members would be able to continue to enjoy the religious, educational and social traditions that have been our hallmark for more than six decades. We instituted new methods for observing Shabbat, celebrating Bar and Bat Mitzvah and the High Holy days this year. Unlike most Reform Temples in Nassau County, TOEACRC has offered in

person services, enabling our congregants to pray in their sanctuary and see their friends and clergy in a CDC safe world as well as in the comfort of their own homes via live stream. We created a hybrid approach to our Hebrew School program, offering both in-person socially distanced classes and real-time digital study via Zoom and Skype. All these new guidelines for the building and the congregants were designed by TOEACRC’s own COVID-19 task Force comprised of doctors, microbiologists, pharmacists and other healthcare workers. While we all try to find ways to safely socialize, TOEACRC has launched a series of in-person and digital events designed to bring us together and lift our spirits. On the afternoon of Sunday, Oct. 18, we turned our parking lot into a club as singer songwriter Robert Appleblatt and popular local band Vinyl Frontier entertained attendees with music from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s for a few hours. People

were delighted to have the chance to be out of their houses and mingling with friends. “What an amazing experience,” Gale Gluck said. “It was a wonderful event,” Mark Natelson said. “It was great seeing everyone in person again.” “Everyone is having so much fun and smiling,” Rose Bruy said. As the months grow colder, we’ve introduced a number of new weekly programs to help our members cope and stay connected with each other and clergy including Chanting From The Torah and Meditation and Stress Relief—both led by our cantor. Just recently the cantor led a class on “The Temple of the Body and the Temple of the Soul. This was originally created by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov and it allowed us to reduce the anxiety in the different parts of our body and to become one with ourselves. The Rabbi has moved her regular weekly Torah Study classes online, with the usual insights and lively

Temple Or Elohim hosted a Chanukah baking class via Zoom. conversations continuing as if everybody were in the same room. In one of the recent sessions, we learned about how Noah was chosen to build the ark and why he was asked to bring just two of each animal. Our Rabbi also participated in a multi- faith forum held on Zoom in which 450 Bellmore-Merrick students were able to reap the benefits of the collective wisdom of six of our local faith leaders. The children came away with a deeper understanding of both the different perspectives and commonalities amongst the

major religions. We can only hope that they will help us move away from intolerance and discrimination in our world. As the weather gets colder the Temple and congregants will be trying to initiate further programs for all those involved. A Zoom Chanukah baking class was organized by the director of education. The dream of all of us members and non-members is that this crisis comes to an end sooner than later. —Submitted by Laura Fried for Temple Or Elohim

Thousands Of Oysters Enter Harbor Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilman Lou Imbroto and Town Clerk Richard LaMarca joined with The Nature Conservancy, Pew Charitable Trusts and Friends of the Bay to provide an early holiday gift to Mother Nature as 50,000+ surplus commercially-grown oysters were entered into the harbor.

Under this initiative, more than 100 shellfish companies will be supported during these tough times, and more than 200 critical shellfish farming jobs will be preserved across the country, all while simultaneously planting more than five million oysters across seven states. “These oysters will also help to naturally absorb wave action for shoreline stabilization while cleaning and filtering local waterways and spawning additional shellfish

to help build back the depleted the oyster population,” Saladino said. In addition to all the environmental benefits, commercial growers will also be reaping the economic benefits of this partnership during a time where most people and businesses have been struggling, with sales decimated within the last nine months due to the global pandemic. “Protecting our natural assets is critically important for the town, and by restoring our shellfish populations, we ensure that we are working to keep our waters clean,” Imbroto said. “Quite simply, there is no Oyster Bay without oysters.” —Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay

Teamwork Plus Hard Work Equals A Championship

he Chiefs are comprised of seven baseball players (who are part of one of the highest-ranked 10u teams in NY State) and one hockey player. This team of fifth graders worked hard, gelled together and won the Fall Flag Football Championship for the Nassau County Under Armour North Division on Friday night, Nov. 20, at Field of Dreams Park in Massapequa. Coached by Jim Kaplan, Adam Weiss and special advisor Jason Wass,

this wonderful group of boys claimed victory in a 25-24 contest to close out the season against their previously undefeated opponent, the Cowboys. It was quite clear that this group of boys had superior chemistry when they were out on that field. In the finale, the entire team played well on defense, with steady play by Ryan Land, Tommy Tabone and Grayson Graham. On offense, each player had a huge impact on the game: Jackson Henchy had a number of

clutch receptions and was the team’s consistent center. Harrison Smith went up high to catch an amazing touchdown in the second half, igniting the team. In addition, Vincent Fallacaro had two crucial catches, one for a much-needed first down in the latter part of the contest. But, no catch was more improbable than the one made by Gavin Weiss with just seconds left in the game, which proved to be the game winner. That catch by Weiss was the fourth touchdown thrown on the night

by Chase Kaplan, the methodical quarterback of the Chiefs, who also finished the game with no interceptions. “I am so proud of this group of boys for all they learned and displayed out on the field this season,” Coach Jim Kaplan said. “In the end, they had a lot of fun, and our coaches, parents and family members were able to share in that joy, even in the midst of a very difficult 2020 for everyone.” —Submitted by the Chiefs Flag Football team

We hope everyone is safe and healthy and would like to remind everyone to continue to practice social distancing, wear a mask/face covering, wash your hands and follow the guidelines from Governor Andrew Cuomo, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino, as well as the CDC and others. With the cold weather approaching and the holiday season upon us, it is vital to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and celebrate safely. Please avoid gatherings so we can get through this, hopefully without moving back into business closures and stay-at-home directives. It is important to remain calm, vaccines are forthcoming— and thank you for helping, “we are in this together.” Curran recently announced a Restaurant Recovery Grant Program (RRGP) to provide a boost for approximately 300 grants to

restaurants during the difficult winter months ahead. “Grant funds are valued at $5,000 or $10,000, depending on their number of employees,” the announcement stated. “The program is intended to support full-service restaurants, the industry hit hardest by the pandemic—during the winter months when outdoor dining is limited and as restaurants adjust to NY State’s COVID-19 safety restrictions and new

mandates.” Restaurants can learn more details, begin applying on Nov. 30, and get updates to the RRGP: www.nassaucountyny.gov/, www.nassaucountyny.gov/ restaurantrecovery”.

rock band Hall & Oates—earlier this year about the band’s new tour, which saw them make a stop at Madison Square Garden right before the pandemic hit. Impressively, Hall & Oates has become the best selling music duo in history, having sold an estimated 40 million records and having had 34 chart hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. We also chatted with singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin, who has accumulated more than 1.5 billion worldwide streams, when he released his debut album These Two Windows, which featured popular songs “Let Me Down Slowly,” “If We Have Each Other,” and “Mind Is A Prison.” We also chatted with actress Mimi Kennedy who plays Marjorie Armstrong-Perugian, the strong voice of reason and AA sponsor to the dysfunctional mother/daughter duo Bonnie and Christy Plunkett, who are portrayed by Allison Janney and Anna Faris, respectively, on CBS’ critically acclaimed hit show Mom, which deals with the everyday issues of substance abuse and the steps to recovery. Actress Candace Cameron Bure also talked to

us about the final season of Netflix’s Fuller House—the sequel series to the popular sitcom Full House. Supermodel and businesswoman Tyra Banks took on a new gig this year and chatted with us about being the brand new host of Dancing with the Stars as well. And who can forget actress Fran Drescher who made her return to network television this year in her NBC comedy Indebted. Drescher also told us that she’s also working on The Nanny musical that should becoming to Broadway soon. Dave Gil de Rubio also chatted with author Max Brooks, who’s father is the legendary Mel Brooks, about his new novel Devolution: A Firsthand Account of The Rainier Sasquatch Massacre. The novel is about a fictional tech-driven community called Greenloop that winds up becoming isolated in a remote part of Washington State after nearby Mount Rainier erupts and strands the residents. We sure indeed chatted with a lot of celebrities this year—and rest assured— there’s a whole bunch of them to catch up with in 2021.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I CHALLENGE ALL GOVERNORS

I challenge all governors to start educating their constituents on the importance of health, fitness and wellness. If governors truly want to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and the rate of hospitalizations—public health—not lock downs need to be their focus and strategy. The average consumer has gained up to 15 pounds during this pandemic, and too many governors are opting to simply close health clubs, resulting in people heading back to the couch this winter. This is not a sound strategy, as it only furthers a more sedentary consumer lifestyle creating additional health problems. Governors need to create greater awareness around the importance of health, fitness and wellness in their states. According to the CDC, 71.6 percent of Americans are overweight or obese and the country can no longer afford to accept the obesity epidemic as the “new normal.” Obesity, or being overweight is directly linked to most pre-existing conditions, which have clogged hospitals and crippled the healthcare system for years. It is extremely important that Americans are emotionally, mentally and physically fit and healthy as we await the COVID-19 vaccine distribution. Health, fitness and wellness are part of the solution. Health clubs are essential businesses. In so many ways, given the overwhelming preventative benefits of health and fitness, health clubs have proven to be an extension of health care that help reduce America’s underlying health issue—obesity. The misunderstanding of the fitness industry has caused too many gym, health and fitness club closures across the country. We are

at war with a virus. Hospitals are bursting at the seams, yet governors are reluctant to overtly promote the best way to defeat a virus; and that is with health, fitness and wellness. Many governors have gone as far as to place gyms, health and fitness clubs in the same category as bars and restaurants. This comparison further accentuates the disconnect state officials have with the obesity epidemic that is occurring in their own backyards. More than 200,000 people die every year due to complications from obesity; and with weight gain on the rise, these numbers can only increase

unless something is done immediately. We will get past COVID-19, but the obesity epidemic is real and will continue to spike during this time unless governors take action. Reduced obesity can be attained in our lifetime, but when will local governments rally to get people fit and healthy? I challenge all governors to look beyond just the current pandemic and advocate for health and fitness as a path to better public health. The fitness industry is here in partnership, to sit at the table with you, to help Americans live their healthiest lives. —Andrew Alfano, CEO, Retro Fitness

WE LOVE OUR PETS Pet Insurance Booms With Higher Expectations For Health BY ANTON STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

any people wouldn’t give a second thought to the value of insuring their own health, but how about insurance for our beloved pets? Over the past decade, pet insurance has become increasingly popular, not so much for animals when they were considered yard pets, but now more than ever because these aren’t just yard pets, they are family members. Pet insurance pays for treatment of an ill or injured pet. As veterinary medicine is increasingly employing expensive medical techniques and drugs, and owners have higher expectations for their pets’ health care and standard of living than ever before, the market for pet insurance has increased. We recently spoke with Dr. Albert Ahn about this seemingly new notion and here’s what he had to say about pet insurance.

rather than solely on affordability. Do different breeds require different insurance policies? Why? There are no restrictions as far as what breeds or dog sizes will be covered by insurance. Different breeds often have different insurance policy costs, and your dog’s breed/size may also affect the policy’s conditions and coverages. Smaller dogs are usually the least expensive to insure, while large dogs tend to be the most expensive. This is in part due to a specific breed’s susceptibility to injury and disease.

policies may provide coverage for up to 90 percent of the bill, including major surgery or complex behavioral problems. In fact, some insurance policies may even cover prescription food and nutritional supplement costs. For instance, if your dog is diagnosed with sarcopenia (muscle loss) and your veterinarian dispenses MYOS Canine Muscle Formula, your insurance may provide reimbursement. More often than not, pet insurance policies won’t cover pre-existing conditions, routine wellness visits for vaccinations and heartworm testing, but it really depends on the specific plan that a pet parent chooses. So, why are some things covered and others aren’t? Insurance is really meant to help cover the costs of major and/ or unanticipated health conditions.

Why are certain things covered? But not others? What’s covered and what isn’t covered by pet insurance depends on the coverages provided by Why is it important to have pet the specific insurance? policy. The need for pet insurance is often You’ll want to overlooked, but many pet owners carefully study end up in circumstances that cause the plan for them to regret not having it.

their age impact pricing plans? Older dogs are more expensive to insure because they are more likely to develop cancer, for example, compared to a puppy. Because of this increased risk of potentially health problems, some companies actually do not offer coverage to them or may charge a higher premium in order to bind coverage for a senior pet. When looking at senior dog plans, it’s really worthwhile to carefully study all the options to find the best coverage for your dog. Read the details of the plans; many may not cover conditions that older dogs often encounter, such as hip dysplasia. Also worth noting: some plans offer coverage of hip dysplasia if you enroll your dog at a young age. For the reasons of cost and coverage availability, it is generally best to get pet insurance sooner rather than later. Is pet insurance just for dogs or can other pets benefit from the service as well? Pet insurance isn’t just for dogs— it’s great for all pets! As pets are a part of the family, we always want to provide them with the best healthcare options possible. Pet insurance can open the door to more advanced and comprehensive treatment options for our pets, whether it’s for a traumatic injury or chronic, potentially debilitating disease. Albert Ahn, DVM, has been in the animal health industry for more than 25 years. Ahn is a veterinary consultant with MYOS Pets.

WILLIAM BILL REYNOLDS

William (Bill) Reynolds, 93, died Thursday, December 3rd, 2020 in San Angelo, Texas, where he had resided for the past twenty-seven years. A native Texan, Bill was born in 1927 on his parents’ farm in Cotulla, LaSalle County, Texas. Son of Charles and Rose (Buffington) Reynolds, he and his sister Rosemary came of age there, surrounded by family, friends, and his church community. Bill graduated from Cotulla High School and enlisted in the United States Navy near the end of World War II. However, since he was still in basic training when the war ended, he never saw active military duty. Instead, he came home and attended the University of Texas at Austin, originally as a pre-med major. He quickly learned that pre-med was not his calling and switched to his first love, music. He excelled at this, and decided to pursue a Master’s Degree in music as well. It was at this time that he noticed a fellow music student in the Master’s Program named Janet Sanders. They began dating, and were married one year later at Janet’s home church in Wintersville, Ohio. The couple returned to Austin, Texas, planning to build a life together there. However, acting upon the advice of his professor, Bill decided to pursue his career in New York for six months. He soon landed roles with The City Center Opera, The Metropolitan Opera, Broadway shows, recordings, and commercial vocal work. In 1951, the young couple took a break from their busy life, boarded an ocean liner, and bicycled across Europe. After this great adventure, Bill and Janet settled down in New York, where they resided for the next forty years. Their first child, Marilyn, was born in 1953. At the time, Bill was performing as a freelance tenor. In addition, he and Janet led tours of the East Coast for the Foreign Students Association, often bringing Marilyn along with them. The couple purchased a home in Levittown, Long Island (NY) in 1955, and the next year their second child Margaret was born. Bill and Janet became the choir director and organist for the Levittown Community Church, positions they held for many years. During their tenure there, the choir sang master works as well as fully staged productions such as Amahl and the Night Visitors, many with an orchestra. Their third child, Charlotte, was born in 1959. By this time, Bill had decided to become a public school music teacher, and landed a teaching job in the Levittown Public Schools. For the next 25 years, he taught classes and directed choral groups there, staging musical theatre productions for the high school. Bill also became the director of the Babylon Chorale in Babylon, New York, a title he held for many years. He chose to retire from teaching at the young age of 57 and returned to his first love, performing. He took acting classes, did community and regional theatre, and appeared in commercials, television programs, and movies for the next ten years. In 1993, the couple returned to the land where they first met, Texas. “Retiring” to San Angelo (a concept Bill never quite understood), they spent ten happy years there until Janet’s passing in 2004. Afterward, he stayed in San Angelo, surrounded by friends and relatives, and created a full life for himself with community theatre, music, church activities, and visiting his out of state children and grandson. He also forged a close relationship with his companion, Marion O’Hara. Bill was a wonderful father. His children and grandson loved him dearly, remaining close to him to the end. He was also a deeply spiritual man, and felt an affinity with the teachings of the Unity Church, Science of Mind, and writers such as Neale Donald Walsch. Music was his first love, but he had many others. He delighted in the outdoors, hiking the Appalachian Trail and visiting many national parks during his lifetime. He also enjoyed sports and exercise. A former marathon runner, he and Marion walked almost every day in retirement. However, perhaps Bill’s greatest love was for other people. His warmth, humor, and kindness were infectious, and those around him responded in kind. Bill was preceded in death by his beloved wife Janet, sister Rosemary, brother-in-law Howard Sluder, and son-in-law Roger Andrews. Surviving him are his three daughters, grandson Rory Andrews, son-in-law Walter Sargent, nephew Peter Sluder, his dear friend and companion Marion O’Hara, cousin Mike McAfee and his wife Jerre, and many other relatives. A memorial service in San Angelo is planned for the summer or fall of 2021.

WORD FIND

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAY

It comes up many times this year, the sneaking suspicion that this life you are living would be the envy of many around the world, that you are blessed beyond measure, and that you very well may be the best possible steward of this good fortune, as you are both grateful and gracious, paying it forward, sideways and basically all around. In spite of the world’s problems, you see beauty, opportunity and connection. You point it out. You move constantly toward solutions. COPYRIGHT 2020 CREATORS.COM

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some struggles are unending. Near their resolution, they automatically update so there’s always a fresh fight ahead. If you knew the goal was unattainable, then would you still choose the path? Maybe you did know, but this week will require you to acknowledge your options and choose more consciously. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Victorian poet Robert Browning suggested, “A minute’s success pays for the failure of years.” Your attitude is better. You know there is no such thing as failure, only early prototypes and experiments with varying degrees of efficacy. Still, this week will bring you a particular kind of satisfying win. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may be secretly ambitious, but that’s not what the world sees now. They experience you as incredibly helpful, skilled and willing to support the group effort. Little do they know that you’ll someday lead. Everything you’re learning now prepares and primes you for a vision grounded in the reality of what the group needs. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are those who strive to put forth a polished image, and while you admire those efforts, you’ll get a lot more mileage and love from your very relatable approach. You don’t mind letting people know that you don’t have it all together. You’ll express what you need, and that’s a big reason why you ultimately get it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If anyone can be regal and offbeat at the same time, then it’s the royal lion. There’s a time when the leader should be serious, but you’re so powerful now that you get to say when that is. If you feel like using humor instead, trust that instinct. Your sense for making effective power moves will be right on point. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Maybe you’re existing in the same environment, but make no mistake; this is new territory. As it goes with “foreign land,” you can’t expect to know immediately what you’re doing. It may take a few tries to accomplish effective problem-solving here. At the very least, you’ll need to calibrate your approach. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To construct an ideal self and then measure yourself to that standard can be an act of ambition, cruelty or, more likely, both. It’s kinder to first take stock of your position, commend the journey, love this stage, and then think about what a 5% improvement would look like. This week, a nudge will be better than a push. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This week sees you in collaborations, some of which you’ve no control over. So when you do have options regarding your team, which will also be the case at times, it’s important to shop around and carefully choose partners whose influence you welcome. You will most certainly rub off on one another. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will walk that line between being assertive and aggressive. Because you haven’t asked for your rightful due, it now may feel, to everyone involved including you, like it’s not actually yours. The change will take effort, but you need to set it right. Stand up for yourself. It will be well worth the risk. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The concept that most applies has to do with fit. When the others need what you offer and vice versa, lives become instantly easier. If the relationship is rough, if you feel self-conscious, if the plans don’t fly, or worse, they get aloft but can’t land, it’s a problem of casting. When the people are right, the rest is easy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your initial vibes about a person or situation might not be completely accurate, but they are also not completely unfounded. Your ability to take the information that comes from your mind and senses as neutral and log it in an objective mental file is truly remarkable -- a superpower that prompts amazing decisions. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Catch and release; nurture and let go; run to carry the torch and then pass it on. This is the cycle of grace. Without the second part of the cycle, legacy is thwarted. To a great extent, a creation, project, product and even a relationship will only be as potent as your ability to pay it forward and release it to live a life of its own.

"This letter is to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for the two women in your company who sold my house, Jill Brown and Susan Hucke. Not only did they stage my home, but they even helped move furniture and contribute items to help show it to its best advantage. They are professional and dedicated and a credit to their craft. They were a pleasure to work with and always willing to go that extra step to make things run smoothly. They were always available to communicate with and I valued their suggestions. They accomplished in one month what two other brokers could not do in a year. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home." – Karen Rowan | Satisfied Client
