Town Honors Frontline Workers With Commemorative Display BY CAROLINE RYAN cryan@antonmediagroup.com

early one year after New York State declared a state of emergency following the pandemic, the Town of North Hempstead unveiled a commemorative display to honor those who have been working tirelessly during the pandemic. The town is the first on Long Island to create a commemorative display for frontline workers. The plaque, located outside the town hall, is dated “March 2021” and is inscribed with the following, “the Town of North Hempstead honors all heroic frontline workers who, at great risk to themselves, remained selflessly dedicated to their community amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Providing vital services, these individuals helped protect the lives of our residents. The town is forever indebted to them for their efforts.” While the pandemic continues, town officials hosted a ceremony to honor the extraordinary sacrifices made by so many. Town of North Hempstaed Supervisor Judi Bosworth began the commemoration by thanking the frontline workers for their hard work this past year. “We at the Town of North Hempstead want to thank all of the essential and frontline workers who have given so much to the community during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Bosworth said. “The individuals we are acknowledging today, sacrificed so much including risking the health of themselves and their families to keep us safe and they have our deepest and sincerest appreciation. We are living through a remarkably challenging moment in history, however, the extraordinary dedication of these individuals protected our families, friends and neighbors, while also allowing our communities to maintain some sense of normalcy during truly abnormal times. We are so thankful for all of our essential workers—healthcare professionals, first responders, teachers, delivery drivers, grocery store workers and so many more.” Several councilmembers also spoke and noted some of the ways the Town

of North Hempstead has helped the community during the pandemic. Councilmember Angelo Ferrara listed some of the ways the town has come together during this time including the creation of several events such as drive-in movies, outdoor concerts, a drone show, and fireworks. These events encouraged residents to donate nonperishable food to local food pantries in the area including St. Mary’s, Faith Mission, Our Lady of Fatima, the Shelter Rock Church, Roslyn JCC, Salvation Army and more. “Their kindness and generosity helped many families in need,” Ferrara said. Bosworth also highlighted the several ways the Town of North Hempstead’s essential workers helped out during the pandemic to make sure that town services were still available. The town’s Project Independence team made sure the seniors in the town still had easy access to food and medical transportation free of charge during the height of the pandemic. They also created a number of virtual programs to help keep seniors active

and even closed streets to make room for outdoor dining and shopping,” Dalimonte said. Town Clerk Wayne Wink concluded the video by speaking about the impact essential healthcare workers have had and continue to have. “Our healthcare professionals were on the very frontline of this battle,” Wink said. “As the general public tried to grasp the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, these individuals continued working everyday to keep us safe and healthy whether they were researching antibody tests or working The commemorative plaque sits outside Town Hall in Manhasset. in our hospitals and emergency (Photo courtesy of the Town of North rooms each and every healthcare Hempstead) professional demonstrated an intense commitment to our collective health. safely during the lockdown.

Port Outdoors Returns On Every Other Thursday From May To October

hursday nights will once again become Port Washington’s night on the town. Portions of Main Street will transform into a pedestrian-only, shopping and dining experience with live music and more. In response to the popularity of last year’s series, Port Outdoors will run from May 6 to Oct. 7 on every other Thursday in alternating zones. The series extends to 12 Thursday nights from late spring to early fall in order to double the opportunity for the community to enjoy outdoor dining, see friends in an open-air environment and to spotlight local small businesses. “Port Outdoors is a collaboration that is only possible with the support of The Town of North Hempstead,” Bobbie Polay, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce, said. “It is thanks to the Lift Up Local initiative that we are able to bring back and expand this very popular community event.” The Port Outdoors series kicks off on May 6 on Upper Main Street and Port Commons, with Main Street closed to traffic from 4 to 10 p.m. from Port Washington Blvd to Mackey Ave. Middle and Lower Main Street will follow on May 20 with Main Street closed from Central Drive to Shore Road. The complete schedule featuring Upper Main Street is May 6, June 3, July 1 and 29, Aug. 26 and Sept. 23. Middle and Lower Main Street schedule will be May 20, June 17, July 15, Aug. 12, Sept. 9 and Oct. 7. “We hope Thursday nights become THE night out in Port,” Holly Byrne, Executive Director of the Port Washington BID, said. “We expect to rekindle the spark from last year and see it become a tradition to shop and dine locally.” Live music and demonstrations from local dance and martial arts studios will be featured at the Main Stage each week. In addition, individual restaurants will host musicians on site to enrich the al fresco dining experience. Landmark on Main Street will once again manage the lineup of artists with a preference to local musicians. To learn more about availabilities, contact the Landmark at laura@ landmarkonmain.org.

Manorhaven Appoints New Village Justice During a Public Hearing and Planning Meeting at Manorhaven Village Hall on April 8, Mayor Jim Avena read the following statement regarding the recent resignation of past Village Justice Peter Gallanter and the Village’s appointment of a new Village Justice Jim Roman, Esq. Roman has an outstanding record of service on the Village’s Planning Board and Ethics and Finance committees over the past several years. “I would like to briefly comment on the resignation this past week of the Village Justice and the resulting change in our Village Court,” Mayor Avena’s said. The former judge’s own Facebook page truly says it all. In a public Facebook post last week, he admitted that he is currently under

investigation by the state for alleged improper conduct as Village Justice. This investigation by the New York State Commission on judicial Conduct is limited to him and his activities. It has nothing to do with any other part of our Village government or any other Village official. Unfortunately, based on his own words, the former judge has chosen to politicize his alleged ethical lapses and questionable conduct. The truth of the matter is that he—and he alone—is responsible for whatever issues the state is investigating. Any attempt to shift responsibility for this or blame his predicament on others is completely without merit. As far as any future involvement by the former judge in our Village

government is concerned, all I can say is that “it’s a free country” and that’s up to him. The Village of Manorhaven is moving forward tonight with the appointment of an outstanding attorney as our new Village Justice. Jim Roman is a proud resident of our Village and dedicated to its advancement. Our entire Manorhaven community will benefit from his experience, integrity, and high ethical standards, as he assumes the responsibilities of this position this evening.” Please contact the Village at 516883-7000 with questions regarding this or any other Manorhavenrelated topic. —Submitted by the Village of Manorhaven

Three Weber Students Receive Top Honors In Poster Contest

he Port Washington Union Free School District (PWUFSD) announced today that three students—Leah Dong, Eva Krell and Ben Ollendorf—from Carrie Palmer Weber Middle School have been recognized by the New York State (NYS) Department of Health for their creativity and design in its annual poster contest. Leah Dong, first place winner in the NYS Radon Poster Contest, submitted an illustration of a virtual computer screen with several windows describing what radon is. Eva Krell, second place winner, submitted a vibrantly colored poster with several facts on radon. Ben Ollendorf, third place winner, drew three houses asking viewers to identify which house has radon.

To qualify for the poster contest, eligible students were required to enter a visually appealing poster focused on at least one of the following topics: What is radon? Where is radon found? Where does radon come from? Radon can cause lung cancer, test your home for radon, and other radon messages. Sponsored by the NYS Department of Health, the contest aims to educate students about the harmful effects of elevated levels of indoor radon gas and to increase the number of homes tested for radon. For more information about the Port Washington Union Free School District, visit the district’s website at www.portnet.org and like their Facebook page. —Submitted by the Port Washington School District

The Nicholas Center At 10 Years: Positioned For Growth

021 marks a decade of service for The Nicholas Center (TNC), a pre-eminent nonprofit organization specializing in Autism support, vocational training, community partnership and peer connection. The organization has experienced a meteoric rise from its early days where the idea took root in a small barn at co-Founder, Stella Spanakos’ home. Today, the organization works with more than 100 individuals in two locations and offers virtual programming launched during the COVID shut-down last year. The organization has forged meaningful partnerships with nonprofits and businesses in their communities. In 2020, TNC expanded to a second location in Westchester. The organization is positioned for growth and the potential for advancement is limitless. “For 10 years, working with our partners at Spectrum Designs Foundation, we have collectively addressed some of the most pressing issues facing the Autism community and developed innovative solutions to

The Nicholas Center and Spectrum Designs staff Cheer 10 Years. (Photo credit: Island Photography) drive transformational change, even during the greatest health crisis of our time, working to advance inclusion, bridging gaps in service disparities and supporting the needs of people with Autism across Long Island, and now Westchester,” Co-Founder and Executive Director, Nicole Sugrue said. The statistics are daunting, the

Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that one in 54 children have been identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder. When school-based services end at age 21, families find themselves at a loss for what comes next, in terms of opportunity, support and employment. TNC has revolutionized continuing education and care for these exceptional adults who face 80 percent under-engagement once school ends. The Nicholas Center began after the sudden death of Paul Kitsos, husband of Co-founder Stella Spanakos. Prior to his death they were discussing options for their 18-year-old son Nicholas, who was preparing to transition to life after high school. Unhappy with the options available, they began discussing a social service agency to support individuals with Autism and related disabilities that would encompass vocational training, community-based experiences and opportunities. Eighty-five percent of individuals with disabilities are unemployed, which led to the decision to create a social enterprise to offer vocational opportunities and employment

with real wages. As a tribute and legacy to Stella’s late husband Paul, Co-Founders Stella Spanakos, Nicole Sugrue and Patrick Bardsley rolled up their sleeves and set out to make this a reality. Ten years of amazing milestones have been achieved. Of note—a documentary film This Business of Autism—chronicled the story and was screened at the U.S. Capital Theatre in Washington D.C. TNC was awarded the NY State Senate Empire Business Award as, “the most impactful and socially innovative agency of its kind in New York State.” TNC is grateful for community partners and organizations who have been instrumental in supporting our mission and growth including, Community Chest of Port Washington, Plant a Row for the Hungry, Manhasset Community Fund, North Shore Autism Circle, Doug Flutie Foundation, Residents Forward and Unsung Sibling Foundation.

The Victims Of Assessment

GOP fails to override Curran veto on elected assessor referendum BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

irst came the political. Then the personal. As if the two could be neatly separated. On March 12, hours before the meeting of the full Nassau County Legislature, Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello (R–New Hyde Park) held a press conference and made his final pitch for introducing a referendum on November’s ballot to bring back an elected assessor. Such a proposal had passed by an 11-8 party-line vote back in February, but was vetoed by County Executive Laura Curran. The Republican Majority needed two votes from the Democratic Caucus to achieve a 13-6 supermajority to override the veto, but failed to gain it on April 12. As Curran geared up for reelection this November, the Republicans have made hay of what they allege are mistakes and structural faults in the reassessment she introduced in the year after first being elected in 2017. Under her predecessor, Ed Mangano, the assessment had been frozen and Curran argued that it led to unfair valuations, with many residents able to successfully lower their tax burdens, shifting it to those who had not grieved their assessed values. Nicolello said, “Today’s vote is to override the county executive’s veto. What it does not do is create an elected assessor. What it does is create a referendum that allows the people to make a decision—the people make the choice, and we trust in that choice.” He added, “Assessment is one of the most important functions that the county has. It’s vital that our assessment be accurate, be fair and be transparent. It has been none of these things.” Nicolello focused on the transparency aspect, charging, “The administration has done a miserable job of providing information to our residents. Over the course of the last three years, it has been the legislators who’ve filled in the gaps. We’ve had town halls, we’ve had call-ins, we’ve put the information on our websites [because] the administration has failed.” He noted that residents have had to sue the administration to get basic information and the legislature had

“Then one day, in 2018, my taxes went from $12,000 to $26,000. Overnight,” Cumisky related of the new assessment. “I don’t know if anyone here can afford $1,000 a month out of their daily budget to afford such ridiculous reassessment.” Referring again to his tax burden, Cumisky observed, “I live in a house that’s 1,400 square feet. That could fit in my peers’ homes twice. And I’m paying more taxes than someone with twice as much property and a house twice as [big as] mine. Assessment is one word. Arbitrary is another.”

Parties React

After the veto override failed, William Biamonte, chief of staff for the Minority Legislature Caucus, issued the following statement: “Members of the Majority sat on Owen Cumisky, at podium, and Susan Johnson. both spoke at a press their hands for the better part of a conference called by the Legislative Majority on March.

Division Avenue Senior Earns Girl Scout Gold Award BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

Media is a passion for Division Avenue High School senior Nicolette Kenney. So much so that it was the basis and inspiration for the Girl Scout Gold Award she recently earned. The highest achievement a Girl Scout can receive, the Gold Award goes to Scouts who tackle issues they are passionate about and then works towards enacting a change in their community and beyond. For the Levittown native, it’s about ensuring future women are better represented in the male-dominated media industry. A Girl Scout since first grade, Kenney didn’t realize the gender imbalance until she enrolled in a sports journalism for teens program at Hofstra University. “At Hofstra, we learned about radio, TV and all different aspects of the media, how to conduct our own shows and what really goes on behind the scenes,” she said. “Through going to those classes, I ended up learning women are really underrepresented in the media industry.” Kenney’s passion for media started

Ten girls wound up completing the entire program, earning certificates of completion and having their project results posted on the site. Kenney hopes her Low Down program inspires girls to find their own voices and explore a future in media. “I wanted to help empower young girls and teach them that they can use their voices to speak out about things that are important to them through media,” Kenney said.

April Business Of The Month: Celeste Gullo—Allstate Insurance

hen you think of visible business people in the North Shore community who also do good deeds and are always trying to help others, chances are, you think of Celeste Gullo. After moving to Long Island from Queens when she was in the eighth grade, Gullo’s family made their life in Manhasset. She lived there until she met her eventual husband, Vinny, who lived in Glen Cove—where they decided to settle. “I always say I’m from the city,” Gullo said.” But Gullo wasted no time in making an impact on the surrounding North Shore community through her business as well as her community-oriented conscience. While she wanted to start her own Allstate agency in Glen Cove, the insurance company indicated that too many Allstate offices were already located in Glen Cove. Luckily for Gullo, a longtime Allstate agent with an office in Glen Head was, at the time, preparing to move to Florida. Gullo bought that agency, originally located near Bottle Buys on Glen Head Road, moved up the road and opened in January 2016. “There was just no other way to do it except to work for myself,” Gullo said. “It should always be the natural progression. It’s mine! I’d have to sell it if I left. It’s something my children can take over.” Gullo moved up the ladder to agency owner with Allstate after starting her journey with the company at just 18 years old. “I was part of a team in Roslyn, scanning and faxing and answering

Celeste Gullo phones,” Gullo recalled. “I worked there for 13 years and then another for five years and another for three years.” While she maintained her loyalty to Allstate, Gullo worked for a different company for a brief period of time. “I had to keep trying to find my fit,” she explained. “When I came back, I had a greater appreciation for this company.” In her agency today just as on its opening day in 2016, Gullo strives to provide unparalleled customer service. “I want people to have the feeling they get when they walk into Disney World,” she said. Gullo offers all personal and commercial lines policies, but places a particular focus on policies that affect the lives of families—the house, the cars, the kids and life insurance. Additionally, she also offers products based in retirement needs, 401K

Deborah Orgel-Gordon and Gracie Donaldson of NSBN honor Gullo (center) rollover, disability insurance and investment planning. However, when asked what sets her agency apart from other insurance agencies offering similar products, her answer was enthusiastic: her team, made up of Kai Hui, Katherine Kearney, Meagan Kearney and Mario Marin. “They are the people who answer the phone every day, six days a week, until 6 p.m.,” Gullo said. “They go over discounts and renewals. Kai does life insurance and financial services. Katherine came to me through an ad on LinkedIn, and her daughter Meagan does what I did when I was 18. Mario does our photo inspections, answers billing questions and helps with claims. We’ve had some crazy claim situations and we’re helping people. You don’t get a team like this other places.”

Within the community, Gullo is a member of North Shore Biz Network as well as the Gold Coast Business Association and the Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce. However, she is most well-known in our community for her charity and goodwill projects. “My favorite projects are food drives,” Gullo said. “My dad grew up in poverty. He always had a fear of returning to it, and [as a child] he would take me into the city to give food to the homeless.” While Gullo maintains that she is “from the city,” her roots are firmly planted on the North Shore. “I just love the location and the people—but the people first,” Gullo said. “If you need something, you can go online and say, ‘I need formula,’ and 10 people would offer it.” —Written by Gracie Donaldson for the North Shore Biz Network

Ladder 5211 received a Nassau County Police Department motorcycle escort, accompanied by the Glen Cove Fire Department and members of the Nassau County Fire Riders Motorcycle Club, to the Queens line, where it was transferred to the care of the NYPD en route to the port. First put into service in 1987 and retired in 2019, Ladder 5211—a Seagrave Tiller truck—has answered countless alarms and played an instrumental role in the rescue of numerous residents during a house fire at 167 Glen Cove Ave. The truck was also deployed in response to the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on the World Trade Center. Officials said that the truck, which

was purchased at auction by a private collector that lives in Dublin, Ireland, will be featured at charitable events and will serve a role in an upcoming 20-year tribute to the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. “The story of Glen Cove Fire Department’s Ladder 5211 embodies the spirit of selfless, courageous service that makes volunteer firefighters shining stars in Nassau County and across Long Island,” DeRiggi-Whitton said. “I am delighted that, after more than three decades of faithful service to the residents of Glen Cove, Ladder 5211 will continue to make an impact in Ireland through a new philanthropic mission.” Before departing Glen Cove for the final time, Ladder 5211 received one final touch—a decal across the windshield honoring the memory of the FDNY hero Terry Farrell—a Dix Hills resident who was one of the 343 FDNY members who perished while responding to the World Trade Center. —Submitted by the office of Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton

Better Irrigation Practices Means A Better, More Sustainable Plainview

ith spring officially here and warmer days upon us, the Plainview Water District would like to remind residents of the simple, yet impactful, ways they can conserve water during spring and summer months. Optimizing irrigation systems is the single greatest way for residents to lower their water bills, while also significantly decreasing the level of stress that is put on the district’s water distribution and treatment operations during peak usage times. “Outdoor water usage is the single largest contributor to the district’s increased pumpage between May and September,” Marc Laykind, chairman of the Plainview Water District, said. “To accommodate for the increased use, we have to use every bit of our infrastructure to meet demand and that each drop meets all federal, state and local guidelines.

The ordinance stipulates that even-numbered homes can only water on even-numbered days, odd-numbered homes can only water on odd-numbered days, and no lawn watering can be done between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on any day. “There are so many ways to cut back on water usage that might not seem significant, but over time they can amount to big savings,” Plainview Water District Commissioner Andrew Bader said. “No effort is too small to consider as every gallon adds up over time. If you identify an area where you and your family can save water, go for it. The less water we use now, the better shape our aquifer will be for generations to come.” —Submitted by Plainview Water District

Scrap-It! Keeps Junk Removal Green BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

ou can say junk is in Orville Davis’ blood. His late father Winston Davis, who passed away from a stroke in 2007, owned a Queens-based junkyard, one of the largest in the New York Metro Area. Furthermore, the younger Davis was born when his mother Olivia went into labor while helping her husband at the junkyard and gave birth to him there. Nowadays, Davis and wife Cynthia are updating the family business via the Massapequa-based Scrap-It!, an eco-friendly waste removal company the duo started in the past two years that Cynthia explains has a more socially conscious approach than any of their competitors. “We’re different because we actually take the time to sort the items we get, repurpose them and find out where the best recycling and donation centers are to go to,” she said. The company’s roots date back to when the duo met while attending Nassau Community College. The couple eventually graduated from Farmingdale College, Orville focusing on business and computer programming and Cynthia keyed in on bioscience. It was at Farmingdale where they entered a 2018 business competition that required teams to invent a business solution to a real-world problem before presenting it to a panel that included judges from PSEG. Waste removal was the issue the couple tackled and Scrap-It!, an app idea hatched by Orville, became the centerpiece. It won the competition’s

$1,000 first prize and from there, the idea was entered in a number of other competitions including the e-Fest Schulze Entrepreneurship Challenge in Minnesota, hosted by Best Buy founder Richard Schulze. While they didn’t place in that contest, entries into other New York State competitions led to a pair of first place finishes and two $10,000 prizes. With the app needing more funding and the couple starting a family with the birth of now-15-month old Kingston (who was joined by little brother Princeton

a month ago), the Davises launched Scrap-It! via a website and a network of scrap haulers. As the nascent business launched, the pandemic hit. But while it derailed many other companies, it proved to be a major opportunity for these small business owners. “A lot of people in Manhattan and Brooklyn started moving back to their second homes on Long Island and realized there was a lot of stuff they had to get rid of,” Cynthia said. “Our phones started ringing like crazy as so many people were home, cleaning out their garages and basements and wanting to get rid of their items.” Given that Scrap-It!’s mission statement is working towards a zero-waste community while seeking to prevent 70 percent of waste from ending up in landfills through partnerships with local churches, donation centers, thrift shops, scrapyards and other recycling centers, COVID-19 protocols caused a problem. The company was saddled with finding homes for items not slated for a landfill. “Places like Big Brothers and the Salvation Army come in and pick up donations for free, but they weren’t doing that, which meant we got more and more calls,” Cynthia explained. “And while we would usually take people’s furniture and go to donation centers, they were closed and we had to figure out what we were going to do with all these items. We got creative and started getting storage units and listing the furniture onto online markets to sell or just give away. We started having garage

sales and even saving some things in our garage.” Eventually, restrictions eased up and Scrap-It! resumed its partnerships with numerous donation centers (AMVETS, Salvation Army, Big ReUse, Habitat for Humanity, Goodwill) and recycling centers (Gershow Recycling, 2 Brothers Recycling, Plakos Recycling, Sims Metals, Benson Scrap Metal). Scrap-It! and its seven employees cover all of Long Island and New York City and advertises on Yelp, Thumbtack and Angi’s List (where you can view a number of five-star reviews). Customers call and the team comes out to assess the size of the job, taking note of what needs to be removed, what is recyclable, where it will go and other nuances (number of rooms, stairs, etc.) Once the job is performed on the agreed-upon removal date, arrangements have already been made with one of the aforementioned business partners. And while a good portion of Scrap-It!’s customer base comes from residential assignments, commercial business clients have also come calling. “We have commercial clients that have office furniture to get rid of and also have papers and documents they want to dispose of,” Cynthia said. “We also have a partnership with Shred-It, a company that comes and shreds the papers. We factor that into the cost. Our customers are really happy about that because those documents are very sensitive and they love knowing that they’re being taken care of.” With business humming along, the beta launch of the app is on the horizon with a launch date roll out slated for the next three months. The Davises plan to get smaller junk removal companies onto their platform that will follow the same eco-friendly business playbook Scrap-It! has been drawing from. In the meantime, Orville and Cynthia are getting enormous satisfaction from the positive feedback they’ve been getting from their customers. “When our clients know their items we take are repurposed and have found a new home, they get really excited,” Cynthia said. “People want to get rid of their things and they want them to go to a good home. When they don’t end up in a landfill, they really appreciate and love that.” Visit www.scrapitjunkremoval.com to learn more about Scrap-It! What did you think of this article?

He has taken on a respected longtime community leader and is urging the residents of this community to open the way for him to join the School Board in order to explore and secure even more enriched educational opportunities for students; increased and more transparent dialogue with parents and other community leaders; and a firm and experienced business hand to help manage a budget of $250M+. As a parent of three children in Great Neck Schools, he is all too aware of the challenges that technology, at-home virtual learning, and educators face in this new era; what post-COVID education will look like eventually is something that needs to be examined and dealt with thoughtfully and creatively. I believe that Glickman is the man to meet all these challenges as he works with the members of the Board of Education and as a longtime private citizen of Great Neck, I hope he gets the chance. —Regina Gil

Skunk Cabbage At Southards Long Island life can be beautiful at any time of the year, especially when one considers the many natural parks and preserves that are available to all. Whether in the dead of winter or the heat of the summer, every nook and cranny of Long Island begs to be explored. Over the past seven or so years, my family and I have made it a point to find many of Long Island’s hidden (and not-so-hidden) treasures. Our daughter enjoys a good hike around Blydenberg Park, while Hubby and I enjoy the offerings of the North Shore: namely, Cold Spring Harbor, The Greenbelt Trail, Bethpage State Park and Stillwell Woods and Preserve in Syosset. Each site offers a challenging jaunt through the woods, while there are other areas that are not as ambitious as the Cold Spring Harbor trail. Everywhere, there is beauty to be noticed, especially during this season of new beginnings. Our daughter, an elementary educator, was off from school for the week. We decided to meet somewhere that could offer the peacefulness of the woods while also affording us a great workout. The decision was simple—Southards Pond, which is an offshoot of Belmont Lake State Park. The sun was shining brightly on that mild mid-morning, so we decided to bring our dog Luna along for the walk. Our daughter brought her boyfriend’s boxer-mix along as well. As we began our trek through Mother Nature’s playground, my husband crinkled his nose. “Whoa, it smells like low tide around here today.” A few remarks were passed about our furry friends, who glanced back anxiously at us and pulled us deeper into the woods. Along the trail, we saw what appeared to be heads of a lettuce-like plant along the muddier sections that lined the tributaries off the pond. The aroma became stronger still,

New Spring Developments In The Village Of Farmingdale Welcome to spring everyone. We have been enjoying warmer temperatures and nice weather and it is great to see spring flowers blooming. Village Trustee Walter Priestley recently gave an informative presentation at 317 Main Street on the State of Farmingdale Village to the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce, and other civic and business organization attendees, which both trustee Cheryl Parisi and I attended. The State of the Village is strong. Not only have we weathered this tough time financially, but camaraderie has been high and new businesses are still moving in. Thank you Walter for giving this presentation. Here are some highlights of topics discussed: • Village parking lots have been redone and look terrific. • The Beautification Committee continues its magic. • The heavy task and meeting the challenge of snow removal this year. • Rezoning and approval of workforce housing on Route 109 • Board of Trustees approval for the Farmingdale Village Business improvement district BID—the first in Nassau County in three decades • The team effort by everyone in responding and dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic— and our heroic Farm-

contracts were signed on April 7. Electrical work has begun for the new tank system, and shovels are expected to be in the ground in a few weeks. Final completion is expected in early 2022. Since this is the village’s only elevated tank, the new tank will be built adjacent to the existing tank so the existing tank can continue to serve the community until the new tank construction and testing are completed.

The New York City mayor and comptroller may very well reintroduce the non-New York City resident commuter tax (Photo by Elvert Xavier Barnes/ CC BY 3.0)

Return Of Non-NYC Resident Commuter Tax Makes No Sense Nassau and Suffolk County residents have good reason to be concerned about aspiring candidates for New York City mayor and comptroller in the June Democratic Party primary who want reintroduction of a non-New York City resident commuter tax as a funding mechanism for both City Hall and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The same holds true for many members of the New York State Assembly and State Senate representing districts in New York City. It makes no sense when you take a closer look at the facts. This recycled idea is periodically proposed, missing the potential economic consequences. In today’s global economy, boundaries ending at the city line mean little. The United States is in economic competition against other nations. Within the USA, residents of the Northeastern states compete against other states in the geographic South, Rocky Mountains, West and other regions. Our Metropolitan New York area comprising New York City, Long Island, northeast New Jersey, Hudson Valley and parts of Connecticut are in competition against other metropolitan areas around the nation and world. Several hundred thousand suburban residents travel to jobs in New York City, the economic engine of our metropolitan region. A growing number of New York City residents have become reverse commuters to jobs in the suburbs, New Jersey and Connecticut. New York City can’t survive economically in today’s changing technology and global economy without the rest of Metro New York. The suburbs around the Big Apple are equally dependent on the success of New York City.

PENNER STATION Larry Penner

Residents of the suburbs and New York City have much in common. We should work together as neighbors and not adversaries. Reintroduction of a commuter tax on one set of nonresidents could trigger an economic tariff war among neighbors. Reintroduction of any nonresident commuter tax will not bring in the same level of revenues from the 1990s when last in place. As a result of COVID-19, in the post COVID-19 era far fewer nonresidents will be commuting to jobs in New York City. More people will be working from home part and full time telecommuting. Many New York City-based businesses are moving part of their operations to the surrounding suburbs. It could result in a retaliatory commuter tax by suburban counties or neighboring states on New York City residents. In the end, everyone could lose with implementation of any non-New York City resident commuter tax.

Without pdisco23@aol.com any practical knowledge of modern medicine, I’m always happy to see more green than red on the screen. “I said,” he repeated while turning to face me, “When was the last time you had a colonoscopy?” I didn’t really need to hear it again; I was just hoping I might get a different question.

years or so. If you’ve never had a colonoscopy before, the procedure itself is not an issue (you are asleep). If you’ve had one, you know all about the unavoidable prep the day before. You would think by now that they could come up with a better way to “prepare” your body. After all, we’ve made tremendous advances in caring for people and keeping them alive well past their expiration date. Yet, the process for clearing your colon is still medieval. Basically, you drink the prep liquid to help clear out your colon. If you really want the gory details, I suggest you Google it. I’m not going to ruin anyone’s breakfast spelling it out. The day before your procedure starts off with a light breakfast, followed by no solid food other than Jello. Eating Jello because you have to takes all the fun out of watching it jiggle. I had a couple of eggs for breakfast and distracted myself by working in my

home office. At lunch, I had a large cup of chicken broth, followed by a few green Jello scoops. Later in the afternoon, I enjoyed a coffee and a healthy mixture of all three Jello colors; green, yellow and orange. When dinner time rolled around, my wife asked if she should eat somewhere other than the kitchen so as not to “torture” me. What am I, a child? There was no need for that. I told her to fire up her dinner and enjoy it. Meanwhile, I sat across from her pretending I was enjoying my ham bullion. By now, just looking at the Jello pretending to be my main course was making me sick. Soon it was time for the main event. I tried mixing the prep with Gatorade (that was unpleasant), then tried 7 Up, which was much better. Before you knew it, the show was about to begin and I was the star. The orchestra was starting to play, the house lights were dimming and the curtain was

going up. It was Showtime. Although the evening performance was a rousing success, I had to do it all over again the next morning, starting at 5:30 a.m. When it came time for the procedure two hours later, I was so tired, I would have slept through it with or without anesthesia. Before I realized I was asleep, I was awake and it was over. While chatting with the doctor afterward, he told me my performance was topnotch and everything went well. I even got a parting gift, some color pictures of the inside of my colon. He was right; everything looked nice and pink. We agreed to do this again in five years. Maybe by then, we will have figured out a way to do it without all that nasty prep the day before. —Paul DiSclafani, a Massapequa resident, is a 2018 Press Club of Long Island award winning columnist and an Anton Media Group contributor since 2016.

State:

Updated Guidance For Graduation, Commencement Ceremonies

overnor Andrew Cuomo recently announced new updated guidance for graduation and commencement ceremonies organized by schools, colleges and universities. Effective May 1, indoor and outdoor graduation and commencement ceremonies will be allowed with limited attendee capacity, depending on the event size and the location (e.g., stadium, arena, arts and entertainment venue). All event organizers and venues hosting ceremonies must follow the state’s strict health and safety protocols, including requiring face masks, social distancing, health screenings and collection of contact tracing information. “We’re once again approaching the end of the academic year, which means we need strict rules in place to ensure commencement ceremonies are done safely in the context of the ongoing pandemic,” Cuomo said. “With more people getting vaccinated every day, we are so close to the light at the end of the tunnel, but we all need to continue being vigilant and I am urging everyone to celebrate smart.” For events that exceed the social gathering limits of 100 people indoors or 200 people outdoors, event organizers and venues must notify the local health department and require attendees to show proof of a recent negative test result or proof of completed immunization prior to entry. These requirements are consistent with the state’s guidance for other congregate commercial and social activities, including catered receptions, performing arts and sports competitions.

Outdoor Events:

Large-scale ceremonies of more than 500 people at outdoor venues will be limited to 20 percent of capacity, applicable to venues with a total capacity of 2,500 or more. Medium-scale ceremonies

be allowed to reopen at 20 percent capacity and smaller, regional sports venues that hold 1,500 people indoors or 2,500 people outdoors can also reopen, with an initial capacity limited to 10 percent indoors and 20 percent outdoors, since April 1. Event, arts and entertainment venues can reopen at 33 percent capacity, up to 100 people indoors and up to 200 people outdoor, since April 2. Additionally, since March 15, wedding receptions and catered events could expand to larger scale events subject to following the Department of Health guidance. —Courtesy of the office of Governor Andrew Cuomo of 201-500 people at outdoor venues will be limited to 33 percent of capacity. Small-scale ceremonies of up to 200 people or two attendees per student at outdoor venues will be limited to 50 percent capacity. Proof of recent negative test result or proof of completed immunization is optional.

Indoor Events:

Large-scale ceremonies of more than 150 people at indoor venues will be limited to 10 percent capacity, applicable to venues with a total capacity of 1,500 or more. Medium-scale ceremonies of 101-150 people at indoor venues will be limited to 33 percent capacity. Small-scale ceremonies of up to 100 people or two attendees per student at indoor venues will be limited to 50 percent capacity. Proof of recent negative test result or proof of completed immunization is optional. This announcement builds on the governor’s recent measures to further reopen the economy amid a steady decline in New York’s COVID-19 positivity and hospitalization rates. Cuomo announced that professional sports in large outdoor stadiums that hold 10,000 people or more will

NYSUT: On Revised New York State COVID-19 Guidance For K-12 Schools New York State United Teachers President Andy Pallotta issued the following statement on revised Department of Health COVID-19 guidance for K-12 schools: “As educators, we know that the best place for our students to learn is in person in the classroom. What we’ve wanted from the very beginning of the school reopening process is for that to happen in the safest possible environment. “In adopting new physical distancing guidelines in line with CDC recommendations, the state is making it crystal clear that distancing is only one part of a layered mitigation strategy. These revised guidelines not only draw distinctions between when it’s appropriate to have three feet of distancing and when six feet of distancing is still necessary, they also mandate masks at all times and lay out specific ventilation recommendations while maintaining important provisions for cleaning, hygiene and contact tracing. What’s more,

the guidelines are clear that community transmission— with a majority of counties currently at high levels of transmission, per CDC metrics—is a critical factor in how physical distancing changes are implemented. And before districts make changes, school communities, including parents and educators, must be given an opportunity to provide input on updates to reopening plans. That has always been and must continue to be essential to reopening. “There also is more to be done to strengthen safety protocols. While the state recommends that districts ‘strongly consider’ implementing screening

testing, we believe there is zero excuse for all districts not to implement routine testing as soon as possible. The federal government is making hundreds of millions of dollars available to New York schools explicitly for this purpose. It’s long past time to get this done. “Ultimately, if changes to local reopening plans are made, it’s up to local departments of health to enforce state required guidelines. They must do so expeditiously and ensure no district is lax in sticking to a layered mitigation strategy.” —NYSUT is a union with more than 600,000 members in education, human services and health care.

BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Miguel Cardona: Secretary Of Education

r. Miguel A. Cardona was sworn in as the 12th secretary of education on March 2. Cardona previously served as the commissioner of education in Connecticut, a position he held after being appointed by Governor Ned Lamont in August 2019. In this position, he faced the unprecedented challenge of responding to the pandemic and led the safe school reopening efforts in Connecticut. To do so, Cardona and his department provided school districts with the balance of guidance, local autonomy, and oversight needed to ensure equitable and meaningful educational opportunities for students while also prioritizing public health mitigation measures. Cardona and the State of Connecticut focused on equity by arranging for student access to technology to support remote learning, helping the state become the first in the nation to provide learning devices to fulfill the identified need for all students. Recognizing the increased importance of providing resources for the social-emotional health of students and staff, Cardona and his team collaborated with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and other

stakeholders to provide free social and emotional learning courses. Cardona’s approach to leadership in Connecticut focused on partnerships: within his education department; between state agencies; and with local boards, educator unions, school administrator associations, child advocates, and most importantly, students and families. He attributes his success in Connecticut in part to the strong backing of those partners, as well as support from the members of the Connecticut State Board of Education and his staff at the Connecticut State Department of Education. Under Cardona’s oversight—despite the pandemic—Connecticut launched a statewide FAFSA Data Dashboard; procured a comprehensive statewide Special Education Data System (CT-SEDS); announced the state’s highest-ever extended graduation rates for students with disabilities and English learners; reached a new stipulated agreement in the landmark school integration case Sheff v. O’Neill, established the first national requirement for high schools provide courses on black and Latino studies; and initiated systemic improvement protocols that can reach every corner of the state. His focus on equity and

excellence for all learners has driven his work at all levels. Cardona has two decades of experience as a public school educator from the City of Meriden. He began his career as an elementary teacher. He then served as a school principal in Meriden in 2003 where he led a school with outstanding programming for three to five-year-olds, students that were bilingual and students with sensory exceptionalities. He proudly served in this role for 10 years. In 2012, Cardona won the 2012 National Distinguished Principal Award for the State of CT and the Outstanding Administrator Award from UCONN’s NEAG School of Education. Cardona then transitioned to lead the work of performance and evaluation in the district. He then assumed the role of assistant superintendent for teaching and learning, overseeing teaching, learning, and leadership alignment. A lifelong Meriden resident, Cardona attended Meriden Connecticut Public Schools and graduated from Wilcox Technical High School. He attended CCSU for his Bachelor’s degree and UCONN where he completed a Master’s in bilingual/bicultural education, administrator preparation program, Doctorate in education, and

Secretary Dr. Miguel Cardona executive leadership program (superintendent) certificate. Cardona is very active in his community, serving on several nonprofit charitable organization boards of directors. He has had several articles published in AASPA Perspective, National School Boards Association, District Administration and the Scholars Strategy Network. His greatest source of pride, however, is his family. Cardona and his wife Marissa are the proud parents of two children. —Courtesy of the U.S. Department of Education

LETTER

TO OUR NATION’S PARENTS AND STUDENTS: I write first, as your new secretary of education, to acknowledge the extraordinarily challenging year you’ve endured. Between the health crisis, economic hardship, staunch national division, and the struggle to make progress in learning while apart from teachers and peers, the impact of the pandemic is still very real and will be felt for years to come. And yet, you’ve kept going. As a parent of two who experienced these same concerns and uncertainties, and an educator who has been moved by the resilience of the students and families I’ve met, let me say: you deserve recognition and you have my deepest thanks. Brighter days are ahead. We are making progress. More schools across the country are reopening for in-person learning, and they’re doing so with the help of clear, science-based guidance from experts in the field. The department has released part one of a COVID-19 handbook to help schools implement guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and we’re working on the second volume. Together, these guides will provide more evidence-based strategies for schools to minimize disruptions caused by school closures, especially for our most vulnerable students and communities and address the impact

of COVID-19 on educational opportunity across communities. The most pressing challenges we face aren’t new. Since I began teaching more than 20 years ago, opportunity gaps remain. There are still unacceptable disparities in high school graduation rates and higher education is still out of reach for too many students, including learners of color, those from low-income families, and those, as I was, who would be the first in their families to attend. These inequities aren’t just holding our children back from achieving their full potential—they’re holding our nation back, too. We all benefit when our children have high-quality opportunities to develop their skills and build their knowledge—and then, share their gifts and talents with the world. Our first priority is to return students to the classroom for in-person learning, but we know there’s more work to be done once we’ve achieved that goal. We’re also working toward building better career pathways, making college more affordable, ensuring all students have access to high quality schools with a balance of quality coursework that include the arts and sciences, supporting teacher quality and improving teacher diversity, ensure teachers receive

the support and respect they need and deserve, expanding access to high-quality preschool, and supporting high-quality career and technical education. President Biden’s plans are bold, but they match the urgency that the challenges before us demand. And as secretary, I will always keep students and their success at the heart of the department’s work. We know that, given the right support, resources and opportunities, our potential is boundless. Despite our worries as parents, this year we’ve seen new proofs of our children’s ingenuity, optimism, and ability to overcome the toughest of circumstances.

If we all commit to approaching the remainder of this school year—and the years to come—with this same mindset of possibility, dedication, and innovation, we can and will make good on our promise to America’s students. As an educator and as a parent, I commit to safeguarding and advancing the dreams of your children, as I commit to the dreams of my own son and daughter. Our nation’s students deserve— and they will get—our very best efforts, our most collaborative thinking, and our deepest belief in their abilities. Together, we can build a future of promise and opportunity that makes no exceptions. —Miguel Cardona

Arts Alliance Opens Applications For Scholar Artists Long Island Arts Alliance (LIAA) has opened the nomination and application process for the ScholarArtist program. Each year the Scholar-Artist program identifies 20 high school incoming seniors from Nassau and Suffolk counties as the island’s most promising student-artists, displaying a high level of academic achievement and exemplary talent and dedication to their craft. Awards are given in five areas of the arts: theatre (including theatre tech), music (including composition), dance, visual arts, and media arts. Students are nominated by their district’s arts administrator and each school district can nominate one student per arts discipline. The deadline for nominations is June 1. “In a year where normalcy has gone out the window, it was

important to LIAA and our ScholarArtist Committee that we continue the legacy of recognizing and honoring Long Island’s incredible young artists” Lauren Wagner, director of the Long Island Arts Alliance, said. “Not only is this program a celebration of the student’s accomplishments, but it also recognizes the support and dedication of their arts educators and their school districts. Right now, art, art-making, expression, and creativity are more important than ever, and if we can do something to highlight the importance of arts education in our schools, then we are going to do it.” The LIAA initiative, now in its 14th year, mirrors the region’s scholar-athlete program. The program has named more than 275 scholar-artists to date. In addition to the 20 scholar-artists

selected every year, the committee also selects up to 20 additional students to receive awards of merit, and all are honored at an end-of-theyear ceremony, which will take place virtually for the Class of 2021. “The Scholar-Artists represent the remarkable home-grown talent we have here on Long Island,” noted Roger Tilles, New York State Regent and Long Island Arts Alliance

Advisory Board Chair. “Long Island Arts Alliance is thrilled to support these young artists and give them some of the help they’ll need to continue to refine their talents and become even more successful.” Visit www.LongIslandArtsAlliance. org to learn more about the organization and about the Scholar-Artist program. —Submitted by LIAA

Are You Prepared For The Big Question In The COVID-era Job Interview? BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

or those who have lost jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic, the prolonged downtime has brought new challenges about how to spend their time productively. Marketing expert Vince Thompson said that scenario has created a whole new hiring dynamic, and when employers begin interviewing again, they will scrutinize more than just the resume to assess candidates’ skills, experience, and initiative. “One of the main questions employers will have for every job prospect will be, ‘What did you do to improve yourself personally and professionally, and others, during COVID?,’” said Thompson (www. meltatl.com), founder and CEO of the marketing agency MELT and author of Build Brand You: How To Use Your College Experience To Find And Win Your First Job. “That story you have to tell and sell is going to be the difference-maker in whether you land a new opportunity when we get to the other side of this crisis. It’s going to tell a potential employer everything they need to know about an individual. Did you feel sorry for yourself, did you binge watch TV, or did you learn a new skill and try to rebrand yourself for what will be a different and challenging job market?” Thompson offers some insights about the post-pandemic job market and how job seekers should approach it:

Younger generations can grow through the adversity.

Thompson said that for many people in their 20s and 30s, getting laid off during COVID and struggling to find work in a crowded market is a growing experience that will ultimately benefit them. “In the long term it’ll be the best thing that ever happened to them,” Thompson said. “Before COVID, unemployment was virtually non-existent. These kids had high expectations and wanted to be in leadership roles quickly, and if it didn’t work out they job-hopped. Now I think they’ll insert some humility and patience into their job-seeking process. They’ll develop appreciation for a job and empathy for what others are going through. I think it’s going to be a wakeup call for the younger generations.”

Employers are looking for people who can pivot.

“With competition fierce for jobs, you have very little time to get employers’ attention,” Thompson said. “You have to develop that hook in your story that sets you apart from other candidates. And you have to remember that every employer is thinking differently about the world and their business model than they did 12 months ago. So they want people who have proven their ability to grow and those with mental flexibility who can pivot quickly. What have you done during COVID,

or learned during it, that applies to new ways of helping companies and their consumers?”

Keep pushing professional development.

“Business leaders and economists see 2021 as a year of transition as industries undergo more changes,” Thompson said. “New opportunities will abound, and those who are proactive and stay on top of self-improvement practices, including upskilling, will prosper. Employers will be looking for soft skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving as well as tech savvy.”

Find and monetize your passion.

“If you’ve always had a passion or a hobby that you can make appealing to others and monetize, now is the time,” Thompson said. “Go online with it as a side gig while you look for a full-time job. Package and tell your story on social media, and weave it to potential employers. That type of creativity, attitude and effort shown in your entrepreneurial pursuit could land you the fulltime job.” “There is no time to waste in getting up to speed with a rapidly changing job market,” Thompson said. “Look at it this way: the best of you has yet to come.”

Garden City Public Schools Appoints New Administrators The Garden City Public Schools appointed two new administrators at a recent Board of Education meeting. Matthew Samuelson will join Garden City Middle School as principal and Connor Cohn will take on the role of assistant principal at Garden City High School. Samuelson has served as assistant principal at Irvington High School since 2016, and over these past five years has developed curricula, observed faculty members, led student groups, addressed student needs, implemented and designed programs, contributed to the code of conduct, participated in hiring processes and led 504 committee work, among other duties. He also co-chaired a sub-committee on reopening in the pandemic and designed protocols, created schedules to support in-person and remote learning and maintained a safe environment for students and staff members.

2018 and a social studies teacher since 2012. He created professional development plans, led 504 reviews, observed teachers, coordinated exams, helped to establish International Baccalaureate showcase events, facilitated emergency drills, implemented social emotional learning practices, managed student matters, designed schedules and developed curriculum. He also facilitated distance learning in light of COVID-19 and has coached many sports.

A seven-time recipient of the National W!SE: Gold Star Financial Literacy Teacher Award as well as a Dobbs Ferry PTSA Teacher Achievement Award winner and National W!SE: Top 100 Financial Literacy School Award honoree, Cohn holds leadership certifications and is a Google Certified Educator. He earned his Master of Science Degree from Mercy College and Master of Arts and Bachelor of Arts from Union College. “We are pleased to welcome Mr. Samuelson and Mr. Cohn,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha said. “They both bring strong experience and will be valuable assets to the middle school, high school and entire district. Our search process was a thorough one that included student input, and I am confident that we chose the candidates best-suited to help our schools and students thrive.” —Submitted by the Garden City Public Schools

Molloy College plans to “return to normal” with in-person instruction for classes beginning in September 2021. “We are extremely pleased that Molloy College will once again be able to offer a face-to-face learning experience for our students,” said James Lentini, D.M.A., president, Molloy College. “We are looking forward to bringing back the inperson component of a Molloy education, a unique facet that adds an irreplaceable dimension and enhances the learning experience for all concerned.” Molloy will continue to follow all COVID-19 guidelines set forth by the Nassau County Department of Health, the New York State Department of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control as it moves toward reinstituting an inperson learning model. In addition to enforcing social distancing and mask-wearing policies, the College has installed temperature kiosks and state-of-the-art air purification systems in residence halls and oncampus buildings. “As we look toward fall 2021, we are excited to safely offer our students a more traditional College experience,” said Janine Biscari, Ed.D., vice president for student affairs, Molloy College. “We are truly looking forward to having more students back in the classroom and on campus, and once again experiencing

Five Tips For Graduates To Prepare

olleges may return to normalcy in a few months as the rollout of vaccines continues. Meanwhile, in sharp contrast to that positive news, millions of college students will graduate this spring facing bleak employment prospects. The pandemic caused unemployment to soar last year and is expected to affect the job market for graduates again this year. Some labor analysts see the pandemic perhaps having this ripple effect on graduates for years to come. These sobering trends are why students should expand their preparation for the job market and know what action steps they need to take, said Vince Thompson (www. meltatl.com), founder and CEO of the marketing agency MELT and author of Building Brand You: How To Use Your College Experience To Find And Win Your First Job. “Thanks to COVID-19, if you’re in college right now or recently

graduated, you’re facing the toughest job market in our lifetime,” Thompson said. “With so many people unemployed and displaced, people will be willing to take a lesser job for a lesser salary just to get back in the market. “To use a fishing analogy, it’s going to take a lot of casts to get a few bites for interviews and ultimately land the job. But don’t let that discourage you. Instead, let it inspire you to grow and learn what you need to know to set yourself apart from other candidates. It’s all about positioning yourself by building your resume, brand and your network. And being enthusiastic about the process.” Thompson suggests the following tips for soon-to-be graduates as they prepare for a fiercely competitive job market:

Build your brand

The job market is so competitive that companies are looking for far more than candidates with a high GPA. “Hiring managers often seek

well-rounded young people who can communicate, collaborate and create,” Thompson said. “They’re looking for people who have been active outside the classroom as well—in clubs, the community, volunteer work, etc. All of these aspects are part of your brand. Also, the new litmus test in the job market will be, ‘What did you do to improve yourself and others during COVID? Or did you do nothing and feel sorry for yourself?’ Employers are going to be looking for those intangibles.”

Organize your marketing playbook

“Utilizing a complete marketing playbook means leveraging your abilities and interests on social media platforms,” Thompson said. “This is where you display your public brand. Your profile, posts, photos, and videos reflect what you’re about. It’s key that your presentation and

For Fiercely Competitive Job Market message are consistent on each platform that you use.”

Expand your networking

“Today, about 75 percent of new hires happen through networking,” Thompson said. “Build a target list of people to contact at companies that are hiring. Join discussion groups on LinkedIn that can expand your contacts and your knowledge. Connect with thought leaders and ask them questions to gain insight.”

Upskill

“Companies want young people who are versatile and able to learn new skills quickly,” Thompson said. “Research skills required in fields that you’re pursuing and get credentialed through online training programs. If opportunities are far fewer in your chosen field, research where your best skills apply in other industries.”

Prepare for virtual interviewing

“When you interview in person, your body language, enthusiasm, handshake and small talk help build a connection with the interviewer,” Thompson said. “Being interviewed on a screen demands that you be fully engaged, establish a rapport, have continual eye contact and express yourself clearly.” “How you stand out from the crowd has always been the differentiator in hiring,” Thompson said. “It’s much a bigger crowd now for fewer jobs, so the importance of preparation in all facets has never been more important.” —Vince Thompson is an award-winning brand builder and sports marketer. He has worked on brand strategies for some of the most famous brands in the world, including The Coca-Cola Company and Aflac.

The SAT Is On May 8 What to expect on test day

he next administering of the SAT test is on May 8. All test centers follow the same procedures and rules, which you should get familiar with before test day. On test day, bring a face covering and wear it as directed by the test center. Remember to also practice social distancing at all times. Be prepared to answer questions about your health prior to entering the test center. If you feel sick the day of your test, stay home and contact customer service for your options. You won’t be charged a change or cancellation fee if you stay home due to illness. Check your test center’s website for any additional or specific entry requirements it may have. If you’re traveling to test, it’s your responsibility to know and follow any quarantine requirements or travel restrictions in the location where you’re testing. Test centers may require proof that you’ve followed quarantine requirements and/or travel restrictions at check-in.

Make sure you show up with everything you need.

SAT Essay

If you’re unsure about taking the SAT Essay, you may be able to remove or add it on test day with your coordinator’s permission—if test materials, rooms, and staff are available. If you‘re able to switch on test day, there may be fees (or even a refund).

Testing Starts Between 8:30 and 9 a.m.

Your seat is assigned, not chosen by you. Wait to be seated. Here’s what will happen next:

Check For Test Center Closings

Monitor test center closings in the days leading up to your test and the day of your test to make sure your test center hasn’t changed or closed. Check directly with the test center, including the test center’s website, on the morning of the test.

Doors Open At 7:45 a.m.

All test centers open at 7:45 a.m. and doors close at 8 a.m., unless otherwise noted on your admission ticket. You cannot be admitted once testing has started. If you’re late or absent on test day, you can reschedule. It is recommended that you reschedule as opposed to reregistering— it will cost less. The testing board is currently waiving all change fees through June 25.

The test coordinator will read all instructions verbatim from a manual and can answer questions only about procedure, not about test questions or content. The test coordinator will tell you when to start and stop working on each section. You must work within each section of the test only for the time allotted. You may not go back to a section once that section has ended. You may not go ahead to a new section if you finish a section early. Do not skip sections. Doing so may result in score cancellation, delays, or both. After the test is finished, the test coordinator will collect and count the test books to make sure all materials have been turned in before dismissing you from the testing room. Don’t be surprised if your test experience isn’t exactly like that of the student sitting next to you. The sections in your test book might be different.

Breaks

For most students, there is one 10-minute and one five-minute break during the test, the only times you can eat and drink.

Keep your ID and admission ticket with you at all times. They’ll be checked every time you enter the testing room. Test books, answer sheets and calculators must remain on your desk during breaks. You can’t use this time to power up devices, like cell phones—if you do, your scores will be canceled.

essay, you’ll likely be done testing around 1 p.m. If you’re not taking the essay, you’ll likely be done around noon.

Devices

Your scores will be canceled if you don’t follow the rules around devices. Things to keep in mind Test administration staff reserves the right to collect and hold cell phones and other prohibited electronic devices during the test administration, including

Dismissal

If you take the SAT with

during break periods. If your device makes noise, or if you are seen using it, or if you attempt to access it at any time, including breaks, you will be dismissed immediately, your scores can be canceled and the device may be confiscated. The College Board is not responsible for loss or damage to personal items, including electronic devices, while you are in the test center. —Courtesy of the College Board

The French limestone mansion at 10A Dock Ln. in Great Neck faces a rare marble fountain imported from the Rothschild Estate in France, contains multiple parquet de Versailles floors, boiserie removed from centuries-old French chateaus, verre eglomise mirrors and pietra dura floors. The property boasts a private deep-water dock, sandy beach and marble pool. It has seven bedrooms. There is no place like home. This is a wonderful large home that is move-in condition or ready to be taken to the next level sold on April 12 for $860,000. The house at 25618 Pembroke Ave. in Great Neck comes complete with a cozy living room surrounding a fire place, three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a separate side entrance to the basement and a back entrance into the kitchen. Full spacious basement with a workshop. Lots of storage and closets all around the house.

his spring, the Great Neck Water Pollution Control District (GNWPCD) is planting wildflowers and milkweed on its Bayview Avenue property in order to attract and bolster the declining butterfly and bee populations. In addition, more bee and butterfly houses will be provided to shelter and to help these populations grow this spring. District Commissioner Patty Katz was recently named to the Town of North Hempstead Climate Task Force, is leading this effort for the Great Neck peninsula. According to Greenpeace, honeybees alone perform 80 percent of all pollinations worldwide, and 90 percent of the world’s nutrition. One in three bites of food we eat is the direct work of our bee populations. Bees are disappearing at an alarming rate, which, unless reversed, will continue to have a negative impact on our overall ecosystem. Bee colonies have decreased, per acre, by 90 percent. Milkweed is the host plant for monarch butterflies and without

Monarch butterfly milkweed, the larva would not be able to develop into a butterfly. These plants are disappearing as well, which is not allowing butterflies to develop and causing sharp declines in their populations. As a result of habitat loss, air pollution, pesticides and global warming, Monarch butterfly colonies have decreased by 99 percent. Here are some additional steps residents can take to help save the bees and butterflies: · Do not use dangerous pesticides and herbicides. · Plant milkweed and nectar foliage in your gardens and lawn. · Place smooth rocks in sunny parts of your garden with a little plate of water that will give the butterfly a warm place to rest and recharge. · Shrubs, trees and vines will provide shelter for both bees and butterflies. —Courtesy of the Great Neck Water Pollution Control District (GNWPCD)

Fifth graders at Saddle Rock used chalk to create uplifting messages near the school entrance for World Down Syndrome Day. (Photo courtesy of the Great Neck Public School District) Students at Saddle Rock Elementary School, North Middle School and North High School participated in “chalk the walk” activities for World Down Syndrome Day last month to raise awareness, spread kindness and promote inclusion. The idea for the program started at Saddle Rock, where fifth-grade teachers Kate Mugno and Anna Policastro organized classroom lessons and awareness activities for World Down Syndrome Day. After learning about the genetic disorder, fifth-grade students completed random acts of kindness throughout the week to promote awareness. As a culminating activity, students used chalk and stencils provided by the Saddle Rock PTA to create uplifting messages and images on the sidewalk around the school entrance. Inspired by the activities taking place at Saddle Rock, the Best Pals Club at North High organized a similar activity on their campus. ACE and Transitions students, teachers, and peer mentors at North High used colorful chalk to decorate parking spaces in the school parking lot with positive messages. Members of the Champions Club also visited from neighboring North Middle to participate in the activity. Best Pals Club advisors are Kathryn Duggan and Jennifer Nastri.

The town was there to recognize the combined efforts which helped save the life of a Nassau County high school football official who collapsed on the field in the second quarter of a game on Saturday, March 20, between Farmingdale High School and East Meadow High School. Saladino presented citations to

those whose lifesaving actions were instrumental in rescuing beloved referee Phil LoNigro, a 59-year-old retired corrections officer who graduated from Farmingdale High School in 1980 and also serves as a volunteer medic with the Farmingdale Fire Department. Receiving the Town of Oyster Bay’s highest honor was Farmingdale High School Trainer Phil Fandale, East Meadow High School Trainer Dan DeSimone, Farmingdale High School Team Doctor Matthew Heller and parent/ nurse Lisa Schwartz. These four individuals

responded quickly, joined in assessing the patient, beginning chest compressions and successfully using the AED/ Defibrillator to shock the patient back to life. LoNigro, who was quickly transported to the hospital by the South Farmingdale Fire Department, was soon praising those who saved his life. Congratulations to all of the incredible recipients and thank you to Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and his colleagues in town government for recognizing these extraordinary lifesaving actions. -Submitted by the Farmingdale Union Free School District

County Executive Calls For Major Expansion Of Veterans’ Healthcare And Housing

assau County Executive Laura Curran announced that she is seeking $85 million in federal infrastructure funding to expand healthcare and housing for veterans. The funding would assist Nassau Health Care Corporation (NHCC) renovate facilities to include veteran’s in patient services and specialized care, as well as establish a Veteran’s Adult Day Health Care Program and make upgrades to unoccupied apartment buildings located on NHCC’s East Meadow Campus to house veterans suffering from housing insecurity. The funding would preserve NHCC’s role as the region’s only public safety net healthcare system and establish an important satellite to the Northport VA Hospital for thousands of veterans who require treatment but find it out-ofreach due to distance constraints. “We have an opportunity to expand critical care and enhance quality-of-life for thousands of veterans who bravely served our country,” County Executive Curran said. “Too many veterans right now in Nassau face burdensome hurdles as they travel to out-of-county facilities for specialized care. This is a chance for the federal government to step up in the upcoming round of stimulus bill discussions to deliver for our veteran community” Congressman Tom Suozzi added, “A partnership between the Northport VA and NUMC is a creative and innovative

From left: Nassau County Veterans Service Director Ralph Esposito, State Senator Kevin Thomas, County Executive Laura Curran, State Senator John Brooks (Contributed photo) approach to save this vital resource and expand veterans’ services.” “The men and women who have served our nation should never be without a place to call home. I am committed to continue my call for increasing support and services for Veterans and their families here in Nassau County. I applaud Laura Curran for her strong efforts on behalf of Nassau veterans and look forward to continuing our work together,” New York State Senator John E. Brooks said. Senator Kevin Thomas said, “Veterans in Nassau County are facing unprecedented economic hardships and health concerns as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. By expanding healthcare and housing for veterans

in Nassau County, we can ensure that every single veteran in Nassau has access to the specialized programs and services they need and deserve. I thank Nassau County Executive Laura Curran for her tireless efforts to ensure that our County’s veterans are receiving the care they need during the pandemic and beyond.” “This is a great first step to protect and enhance NHCC’s irreplaceable role as the only safety-net healthcare system in the area.” CSEA Local 830 President Ron Gurrieri said. “We are equally pleased that the program will not only provide vital assistance to our nation’s heroes but do so in a manner that amplifies NHCC’s core social mission and presence in the community.”

“Nassau County’s veterans deserve the best and this proposal will make our County a leader in providing access to healthcare and housing for veterans,” Ralph Esposito, Director of Nassau County’s Veteran Service Agency, said. “I thank Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and her team for putting veterans and their families first.” Veterans residing in Nassau County often travel hours to access enhanced medical treatments offered at VA hospitals. The closest VA hospitals for Nassau’s more than 40,000 veterans are located out-of-county, in Suffolk, Brooklyn and Manhattan. The physical distance and time required to travel to these out-of-county facilities is often difficult for veterans to navigate, and results in a disproportionate number of veterans lacking access to medical care. “Nassau County carries a proud tradition of supporting our heroes who served our country,” Curran said. “Expanding existing services and renovating unused space at this wellknown location could help transform how Nassau serves those who served our country.” Through a hybrid healthcare model that preserves NHCC’S mission of serving the most vulnerable, Nassau County would become home to New York State’s first Veteran Housing Village. —Submitted by the office of Nassau County Executive Laura Curran

County Executive Reopens Renowned Red Course For 107th Season Nassau County Executive Laura Curran recently announced that The Red Course, one of three 18-hole, legendary golf courses at Eisenhower Park, is now open for its 107th season. The course is open Tuesdays through Sundays from 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. until Dec. 6. Golfers can now reserve tee-times on www.nassaucountyny.gov/golf. Eisenhower’s White and Blue courses remain open year-round, weather permitting. “Nassau is home to some of the finest public golf courses in the country—many of which saw an increase in rounds last year as golf

was one of few sports that could be played safely at the height of the pandemic,” Curran said. “The reopening of the historic Red Course adds to the county’s ample opportunities for golfers—part of what makes Nassau a great place to live, work and play. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, a rookie or a professional, I invite you to tee off on this championship course.” The Red Course has a storied history, having been designed by prominent golf architect Devereux Emmet in 1914 and having hosted Professional Golfers’ Association of

America (PGA) championships as far back as 1926. More recently, the Red course played host to the PGA Tour’s Commerce Bank Championship. In addition, the County Executive announced a new short game practice area slated to open in the park by the end of this month. The newly constructed practice area consists of three target greens, three different styles of sand traps and two small fairways. It will allow players to practice shots ranging from chipping the ball a few yards, all the way to pitches up to 45 yards. It offers three different bunker designs resembling

what they would face out on the Red, White or Blue courses at Eisenhower. The practice area will be limited to 10 players at one time. A one-hour practice time will be imposed if players are waiting to use facility. Nassau County’s golf facilities will continue to abide by all health and safety guidelines outlined by New York State and CDC. For more information about Nassau County golf facilities visit www.nassaucountyny.gov/golf. —Submitted by the office of County Executive Laura Curran

Help Pollinators By Participating In Community Science Research

upervisor Judi Bosworth and the town board encourage residents to participate in collecting data for the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project (MLMP) and the Empire State Native Pollinator Survey (ESNPS). This spring, pollinators such as bees are beginning to emerge from overwintering and monarch butterflies will soon migrate to Long Island, which means that the town will be participating in these community science research projects to help learn about these important animals, many of which are in decline. “The town is dedicated and committed to these community science research projects which have brought attention to pollinators both here in North Hempstead and throughout our country,” Supervisor Bosworth said. “These creatures are so important to our daily lives, and the data on them is invaluable. We encourage you to take part in these projects that are educational and enlightening for the entire family.” The MLMP is a collaborative effort by the Monarch Joint Venture and Margined calligrapher flowerfly on beardtongue at Gerry Park.

for monarch butterfly eggs, larvae, and pupae. Monitoring for the project allows residents to get outside and learn about monarchs and other wildlife that inhabit our local area. The Town monitors the pollinator garden at Clark Botanic Garden every week beginning in June and ending in the fall when monarchs stop laying eggs to prepare for migration to Mexico for the winter. The ESNPS, administered by the NY Natural Heritage Program in partnership with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, aims to determine the conservation status of a variety of native insect pollinators throughout New York. With many pollinator species in decline, this survey’s goal is to provide a more concrete picture on the status of pollinating insects. Surveying for the project involves taking pictures of the bees, flies, moths, beetles and wasps seen pollinating flowers. This can be done in your own backyard or any location that has flowering plants. The town participates in the project by surveying at many of its parks’ pollinator gardens. To participate in the MLMP visit www.monarchjointventure.org/mlmp. The town is also looking for volunteers to participate in the project by monitoring milkweed in some of our parks’ pollinator gardens. Interested participants can email Sustain@northhempsteadny.gov or call 311. To participate in the ESNPS visit www.nynhp.org/projects/pollinators.

Mighty Quinn’s joined Franklin Avenue’s “restaurant row” early last August opening with great fanfare and bringing to Franklin Avenue its first barbeque eatery and the first Mighty Quinn’s brand to Long Island. Born in New York City in 2009, Mighty Quinn’s recipes and traditions are directly from Texas—old school BBQ brought to life in a modern setting through in-house smoking techniques and recipes crafted by Hugh Mangum, the founder and pitmaster. “Cooked low and slow is our motto,” Wotman said. “We aim for the highest quality ingredients in a friendly comfortable atmosphere to give our guests the most enjoyable

Jason Wotman, owner of Mighty Quinn’s BBQ. (Contributed photo) BBQ experience in New York.” Originally hailing from Great Neck, Wotman attended Vanderbilt University in Nashville where he says he fell in love with barbeque. He notes that he spent 10 years working in tech and finance in

New York City before he decided to follow his passion and start his own business. “The same day I quit my former job, I found out Mighty Quinn’s was starting to franchise, and the rest is history,” Wotman said. They knew from the beginning that Mighty Quinn’s would be a win-win on the Franklin Avenue location. With its proximity to Seventh Street, the great office population, banks and healthcare facilities along with the nice neighborhood atmosphere, they knew that Mighty Quinn’s would deliver a fast-casual setting. Wotman noted that both plenty of indoor and outdoor seating are provided along with a takeout area from which one can pick and choose from a visible display of tempting

barbeque items and sides . “The best part of this experience so far has been the wonderful residents and workers in Garden City that I have gotten to know during the time we’ve been open,” he said. “It’s been very important to me to engage with such a supportive community during such a tough time to open a restaurant. I’m looking forward to continuing this experience with Rotary and our local chamber as we hopefully head our way out of the pandemic.” Should you like to join us in welcoming Mighty Quinn’s Jason Wotman on Monday, April 26, and hear more details about this exceptional Franklin Avenue barbeque, email Diane Marmann, Rotary president for the link at diane.marmann@gmail.com. —Submitted by the MineolaGarden City Rotary Club

Carle Place’s Rushmore Avenue Elementary School Student Council representatives worked diligently and innovatively while hosting a Gratitude Campaign throughout the month of March. Council members arranged a virtual assembly to inform their peers on the campaigns mission and how they can participate. This encouraged students and staff to look for the good by focusing on gratitude and kindness. The three main components of the campaign consisted of Gratitude Spots, a Gratitude Wall and You Matter letters. As part of Gratitude Spots, students were

encouraged to share something they are thankful for when they step on any of the “spots” placed throughout the school hallway. The Gratitude Wall welcomed students to write down their appreciation every morning on sticky notes that they then turned into a Flipgrid video. For the You Matter letters, students wrote a friendly letter to someone that has made a difference in their life. The students were given time to complete their letters and encouraged to read them aloud to the person they wrote it to. —Submitted by the Carle Place School District

The awards are very prestigious and many members use winning as a way of promoting their newspapers to the public. The competition is judged by members of another state press association in January and awards are presented at the annual spring convention and trade show in April, which took place virtually for the second consecutive year due to the pandemic. Newspapers wishing to participate in the Better Newspaper Contest must be members of the Association and submit entries from the prior calendar year. Anton Media Group participates every year. At a time when newspapers were not only fighting for their survival, much less covering their communities, Anton came away with four awards from the 2020 NYPA Better Newspaper Contest.

Strat-O-Matic hosts latest successful Opening Day BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

ort St. Lucie and Tampa may be ground zero for the new baseball season kicking off for Mets and Yankees fans respectively. But for die-hard Strat-O-Matic fans, Opening Day takes place at a gray two-story brick building that’s situated off the parking lot of the Long Island Rail Road Glen Head station. It was here that between 160 and 170 fans recently braved an overcast and blustery day to be able to purchase the new 2019 sets. What is Strat-O-Matic you say? It’s a rotisserie set invented by Great Neck native Hal Richman back in 1961. Two regular-sided dice and one 20-sided die are used in conjunction with player cards that offer various hitting and fielding outcomes based on actual seasonal statistics and thoroughly determined player ratings. While novices can whet their teeth with the basic version of Strat, a flip of the cards enables players to go play Advanced and Super Advanced versions of Strat that factor in strategic nuances like righty-lefty pitching and hitting match-ups, pitcher fatigue and ballpark dimensions. In the five decades since Strat-OMatic hit the market, the game not only inspired a generation of baseball fans, but it has expanded to include football, hockey and basketball. Moreover, the game served as a childhood introduction to include football, hockey and basketball. Also, the game served as a childhood introduction to the inner workings of baseball for a fraternity of announcers and movers-and-shakers of the game that include Jon Miller, Bob Costas, former ESPN anchor Bill Daughtry, STATS, Inc. founder John Dewan and Chicago Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein, along with a number of former players that include Doug Glanville and Keith Hernandez. For Richman, a diehard baseball fan dating back to childhood, a fascination with a game called All Star Baseball that only measured hitting prompted him to create his own baseball game when he was only 11. “I took dice in hand and rolled them 5,000 times and created a probability table and from there started creating the game,” Richman recalled.

The retired sportscaster affirms the important career guide Strat became for him. “It’s played a pretty big part in what I’ve done with my life as a professional with it being a library/laboratory/ learning tool for the thing I did on an everyday basis to earn a living,” he said. “It’s a lot more than just a game.” Visit www.strat-o-matic.com to find out more about Strat-O-Matic.

David Crosby

Just Before The Dawn: A Conversation With David Crosby BY ROY ABRAMS

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

During the past year, David Crosby, a man for whom live performance has always been an essential part of his being, found himself at home, pondering an uncertain future. The pandemic may have put his live performance plans on indefinite hold, but the music has never stopped.

ortified by his family and the reassuringly constant presence of the Muse, Crosby has forged ahead, recording his fifth album apart from CSN/CSNY since 2014, and is already getting ready to begin work on the next album. His “Ask Croz” feature with Rolling Stone continues, much to his fans’ delight, and he has once again recently been in the news, joining the ranks of many notable artists selling off their songwriting catalogs to achieve both financial security and legacy management of their life’s work. Crosby sold his publishing and recorded music rights, including his solo work, as well as his work with the Byrds; Crosby & Nash; Crosby, Stills & Nash; and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, to Irving Azoff’s Iconic Artists Group. He calls the deal “a blessing for me and my family” and refers to Azoff’s company as “the best people to do it with.” Crosby has been navigating unchartered waters but is managing to keep his proverbial ship afloat in these challenging times. “It’s very tough,” he admits. “We can’t play live. At all. And that was my most fun thing, you know. You can write music, and you can record music, but you can’t get paid for it, which is weird, so it’s been very, very odd. You know, I definitely can’t play live and that was the last source of income that I had. I had to sell my publishing, and so this COVID thing affected me very strongly. Shutting us down from being able to play live completely changed everything I was able to do. I had to reshape plans for my life.” And so it was, earlier this year, that Crosby joined the ranks of other musical icons including Neil Young, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, and Linda Ronstadt, who have decided to cash in on their life’s work. The song catalog acquisition business is thriving these days and for very good reason. “If you’re going into the world with $100 million to invest in the stock market, you take $50 million of it and put it in T-bills, because you know exactly what they’re gonna pay, and they’re safe,” Crosby explains. “Then you take the other $50 million and go adventuring to try and make money. Well, then you think about publishing. You have 20 years of records and know exactly what it’s gonna pay. It has that same security. The only thing is it pays a lot better than T-bills—a lot better. They used to buy publishing by a multiple. For most of my life, 10 years of your publishing’s yearly earnings was what your publishing was worth. When it got to 19 [years], faced with the situation I

was faced with, selling was definitely the right thing to do. It’s that and also [how] the tax situation is now more advantageous in the leftover situation from Trump than it will be when it readjusts to a more reasonable and less permissive kind of way of doing things. So, if you were gonna take a bunch of million dollars for making one of these deals, you’d want to do it under this (tax situation) and not the next one.” Asked how he was feeling, Crosby chuckles.

“My normal answer is ‘elderly and confused,’ but I’m actually pretty good today,” he said. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Crosby found a silver lining. “Spending time with my family,” he explained. “I love my family a whole lot, and being there when I normally would be gone, trudging around playing, has been good for my family; it’s been good for me with them. The more time you put into it, the better it gets. Frankly, it’s been very good that way, and I’m grateful for it.”

The title of David Crosby’s forthcoming album For Free is inspired by a Joni Mitchell song Crosby has performed live in the past (Public domain)

His new album is entitled For Free, inspired by a Joni Mitchell song he’s performed live in the past, He shed some light on the songs it contains, his writing and recording collaborators and when fans can expect the album’s release. “The release date was supposed to be May but I’m being told it’s July because they have a bottleneck on producing vinyl,” he said. “Apparently, making the vinyl was slowed up by COVID, Like all of my records in the last 10 years, it’s a very cooperative effort. It’s me and James (Raymond); it’s the Sky Trails band, but it’s really just me and James. We used all kinds of jazz musicians and rock musicians to make the record. Number one, the touring band, the Sky Trails band, that’s pretty fixed. The people who made the record, well, this one was pretty astounding, man. I’ve been friends with Donald Fagen for a while and I finally convinced him to give me a set of words, so we took that set of words and James and I ‘Steely-Dan’ed’ it into the middle distance, that’s one of the songs. We wrote another one with Michael McDonald called ‘River Rise’—mostly James wrote it. I’ve been bugging James to write us a single forever, (telling him) ‘C’mon, man, we need to pay the rent here.’ And he did it, it’s a single. Michael McDonald sang on it with us and actually helped write it. James is maturing as a writer to where he’s as good as I am, if not better. He wrote what I think is the best song on the record, called ‘I Won’t Stay For Long,’ that’s one of the best songs I’ve ever sung. I absolutely freakin’ loved and I killed it. There is a lot of my favorite thing, which is cooperative effort, all over the place. We are doing it and it’s good. We got this one mastered and started writing

for another one. We don’t know what else to do.” Crosby appears more candid than ever to discuss the breakup of Crosby, Stills and Nash. When he released Croz in 2014, CSN still had a full year and a half to go. I asked him if during the tour to promote Croz, he foresaw an end of the road for CSN. “Yeah. It gets a little mechanical for a while,” he said. “You do it for 40 years and it turns into ‘Turn on the smoke machine and play your hits’ and that’s really not good enough for me. I think we stayed with it longer than we should have. I think we should have branched out more, but it is what it is. I’m here, making records that I’m really proud of, I mean. I think I’m making really good music. That’s really all I’m responsible for— making the best music I possibly can. I don’t see that happening with the other guys. They seem kind of stuck in place. I can’t really vouch for that.” While hopeful about the resurgence of live music based on long-term pent-up demand once the pandemic is behind us, Crosby is realistic in his expectations. “The answer to that is gonna depend on vaccination,” he said. “When you say, ‘Look, to buy a ticket, you’ve got to show us a vaccination sticker. If you can show us that you’ve been vaccinated, you can buy a ticket.’ Okay, when they do that, if they do that, then they will have audiences that are safe and then we will have audiences … [but] not until.” Visit Island Zone Update for the complete conversation.

However, such tax liens shall have priority over the County’s Differential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the interest and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased. The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser’s rights with respect to the lien(s) the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), 12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et. seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) receivership. The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premises herein listed. The rate of interest and penalty which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Treasurer ten per cent of the amount from which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety per cent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety per cent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Treasurer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limited to the ten per cent theretofore paid by him shall, without further notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the agreement to purchase be of no further effect. Time is of the essence in this sale. This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale. Furthermore, as to the bidding, 1. The bidder(s) agree that they will not work with any other bidder(s) to increase, maintain or stabilize interest rates or collaborate with any other bidder(s) to gain an unfair competitive advantage in the random number generator in the event of a tie bid(s) on a tax certificate. Bidder(s) further agree not to employ any bidding strategy designed to create an unfair competitive advantage in the tiebreaking process in the upcoming tax sale nor work with

No attempt has been made or will be made to, directly or indirectly, induce any other bidder to refrain from bidding on any tax certificate, to submit complementary bids, or to submit bids at specific interest rates. 3. The bids to be placed by the Bidder will be made in good faith and not pursuant to any direct or indirect, agreement or discussion with, or inducement from, any other bidder to submit a complementary or other noncompetitive bid. 4. If it is determined that the bidder(s) have violated any of these bid requirements then their bid shall be voided and if they were the successful bidder the lien and any deposits made, in connection with, said bid shall be forfeited.

Bill No. 2 of 2021, “A local law amending Chapter 144, Property Maintenance, of the Code of the Village of Baxter Estates, by adding Article III, entitled Garbage Disposal Regulations. Be it enacted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Baxter Estates. Section 1. Chapter 144, Property Maintenance, of the Code of the Village of Baxter Estates, is hereby amended to add a new article, Article III, entitled Garbage Disposal Regulations, to read as follows: Article III Garbage Disposal Regulations § 144-9 Definitions. The following words shall have the meanings herein indicated: GARBAGE Shall include but not be limited to rubbish, garbage, or waste material of any kind, and any other discarded objects or materials of any nature whatsoever.

LEGAL NOTICES

any provision of this article shall constitute a violation, punishable as follows: for a conviction of a first offense, by a fine not more than $250, or imprisonment for a period not to exceed 15 days, or both such fine and imprisonment; for a conviction of a second offense, both of which were committed within a period of five years, by a fine not less than $250, nor more than $500, or imprisonment for a period not to exceed 15 days, or both such fine and imprisonment; and for a conviction of a third or subsequent offense, all of which were committed within a period of five years, by a fine not less than $500, nor more than $1,000, or imprisonment for a period not to exceed 15 days, or both such fine and imprisonment. Each day that a violation occurs or continues shall be deemed a separate and distinct violation hereunder. Section 2. Effective Date. This local law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State.” B. Bill No. 3 of 2021, “A local law adopting a moratorium on the development of any parcel of real property within Business A District of the Village of Baxter Estates intended for residential use of any kind or capacity. Be it enacted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Baxter Estates. Section 1. Legislative Findings and Intent. A. Economic conditions in recent years have adversely impacted the viability of local businesses catering to the local community, evidenced by a consistent presence of vacant storefronts in the Business A Zoning District of the Village of Baxter Estates (the “Village”), as well as in the commercial districts in the surrounding community of which the Village is a part. The difficulties experienced by local businesses in the Village and surrounding community pre-date the COVID-19 pandemic’s onset in March 2020, but have been compounded by the pandemic’s economic impacts. B. Recently, several owners of parcels of real property in Business A District have expressed an interest in developing their properties for multi-residential use, without any commercial or business use, apparently reflecting the sense of the property owners that commercial and business uses may not offer a reasonable return on their investments in property in the Business A District. C. The Board notes that, in addition to the 23 enumerated commercial, business or other non-residential permitted uses in the Business A District, under Village Code Section 175-21 of Chapter 175, “Zoning,” of the Village Code (the “Zoning Code”), permitted

uses presently also include a single-family or two-family detached dwelling, or a multiple dwelling, in each case satisfying the zoning code provisions applicable under Article III, “Residence F Districts,” of the Zoning Code. D. The Board notes that the vast majority of properties in the Business A District of the Village along the Village’s primary commercial district, abutting Main Street, Port Washington, contain (or most recently contained) commercial or business uses, some of which also contain some residential use. E. The Board notes that the provisions of Article IV of the Zoning Code have not been modified or amended in more than 2 decades, and that the provisions applicable to residential development in the Business A District, contained in Article IIII of the Zoning Code and made applicable by cross-reference to residential development in the Business A District, have not been meaningfully reviewed in many decades. F. The Superintendent of Buildings has advised the Board that it appears that significant zoning variances would be required for possible residential development projects in the Village’s Business A District that have been the subject of recent informal submissions to the Village. The Board notes that most residential development in the Business A District would likely not satisfy relevant restrictions contained in Article III, in light of the size and contours of existing parcels, as improved, in the Business A District. G. The Board finds that the best interests, health, safety and welfare of the Village residents and property owners will be promoted through a study and evaluation of the Village Zoning Code provisions applicable to residential development in the Business A District before any new proposed development comprised partly or entirely of residential uses in the Business A District is processed, reviewed or considered by the appropriate Village Boards, departments and officials. H. The purpose of such study and evaluation will be to enable the Board to explore whether existing regulation of such uses is appropriate to permit property owners to develop, own and operate properties in a reasonable and cost-effective manner, while protecting the health, safety and welfare of all Village residents and property owners, in light of current conditions in the Village and surrounding communities. I. For the foregoing reasons, the Board determines

ANTON MEDIA GROUP • APRIL 21 - 27, 2021

LEGAL NOTICES that the best interests, health, safety and welfare of the Village, its residents and its property owners are served by the establishment of a moratorium for a period of six (6) months on (i) the development of all parcels of real property in Business A District for any residential use, in whole or in part, and (ii) the review, processing, consideration and determination as to any submissions or applications of any kind relating thereto, by or on behalf of any owner of property within the Business A District, to the Village, or any Board, department, officer or official of the Village. Section 2. Scope of Moratorium. Except as provided in Sections 3 and 4 below, during the period from and after the effective date of this law until the 181st day thereafter: A. No new building or other structure shall be constructed, and no existing building or other structure shall be altered, extended or expanded, on any parcel of real property within any Business A District of the Village for any residential use of any kind or capacity, whether in whole or in part. B. No building permits shall be issued for any new building or other structure, or for the alteration, extension or expansion of any existing building or other structure, on any parcel of real property within any Business A District of the Village for any residential use of any kind or capacity, whether in whole or in part. C. No new application shall be accepted, and no pending application shall be processed by the Village, or by any Board, department, official or officer of the Village, with respect to any new building or other structure, or with respect to any existing building or other structure, on any parcel of real property within any Business A District of the Village for any residential use of any kind or capacity, whether in whole or in part. Section 3. Exceptions. A. This moratorium shall not apply to the acceptance or processing of applications, the issuance of building permits, or any construction which relates only to the alteration, repair, replacement, or maintenance of existing buildings and other structures, so long as the proposed work that is the subject thereof complies in all respects with the Village Zoning Code. B. This moratorium shall not apply to any municipal use on property which is owned by either a municipality or a special district of a municipality. Section 4. Variances. In the event of unnecessary hardship, an application for relief from this local law may be made to the Village’s Zoning Board of Appeals pursuant to the provisions of Village Law §7-712-b(2) for a

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 25 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Despite being the warrior of the zodiac, you’re actually keen on peacekeeping, which, when you think about it, is a major part of a soldier’s job. You don’t have a problem extending the olive branch when it seems like the correct thing to do, but your quite averse to this choice when it’s merely the convenient thing to do. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your appetite for socializing ebbs and flows, no state being more correct than another. Though, this week, there are definite benefits to making sure you remain on someone’s radar. Friendship is upkeep! Don’t worry, the work required to maintain close bonds will be fun, as will the consistent effort of casual ties.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Before you put too much energy into solving problems, make sure they’re worth the effort. Why does it matter? How much? And for how long? Stay focused by avoiding giving into momentary negativity. Play the long game. If you’re unlikely to care about a thing in an hour or a week, then why care now? CANCER (June 22-July 22). The result you desire will be the result of 50 moves, most of which are nearly the same move repeated. You are already in love with the idea of getting the result, but what will help you in the weeks to come is to fall in love with the 50 moves. This will eliminate the need for willpower, which will be in limited supply.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s true that the thing that draws you to someone seems utterly intangible, and yet, pursue knowledge of it anyway. Try to measure it. Since it matters to you, it must be detectable in some way. If it’s detectible, then it can be observed. It will require you to dial up your senses -- which is why it’s so worthwhile. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This week, it won’t be too difficult to figure out how to be a part of all that’s good in the world. There’s nothing to join, no ticket to buy, no organization or person to donate to. What’s good in the world comes by way of acknowledging others, listening, sharing a moment and moving and laughing together. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Delays are most common where there are more variables to account for. This is why the timetables are often extended to accommodate things like traveling through cities, long-range plans and largescale construction. You’ll make life easier by giving yourself a good amount of time to tackle the involved projects. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll want people to say yes to you, but not all agreements are equal. Sometimes “yes” is really a ploy to buy time, a passive handling of the moment and, ultimately, a frustrating path to “no.” This week, guided by stars of socially savvy, you’ll find your way to committed, game-changing affirmative answers. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). They wanted; you gave. And in your giving, you created an even bigger appetite in them. Then they wanted more, and you gave more. You know where this is headed. Step back and manage expectations, create structures and set limits. Do this whether you need to or not. It’s a matter of staying in control. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In the skyscraper of “more,” there is always the perception of a next level, though elevator rides can be deceptive, and many floors look exactly alike. Whether you’re on floor five or 25, enjoy yourself. Talk to everyone. Explore all the areas. Exhaust all the options as though you were on the top floor. Maybe you are!

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Because limits are lifted and blocks busted through, at first it will seem that this is your year to live fast, free and unfettered. But it will soon become apparent that you’re happier with responsibility; you just needed different ones than you’ve had in the past, and you’ll be amply supplied. New challenges invite your creativity, sharpen your social skills and give you some delicious glamour to work with, too. The feeling of being cool is part of the fun, helped along by an incredible posse. COPYRIGHT 2021 CREATORS.COM
