Port School District Pushes For Adequate Funding

TOP STORY

BY CAROLINE RYAN

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

eeping students safe, while allowing them to return to school during the pandemic has put a financial strain on the Port Washington School District, along with many other districts on Long Island. COVID-19 expenses for Port Washington’s current school year have already amounted to nearly $3 million in excess of the initial budget. In preparation for the upcoming 2021-22 school year, members of the Port Washington Board of Education, along with administration have been meeting with local elected officials to discuss how they can ensure that Port Washington receives adequate state and federal funding. A change.org petition was created by Port’s Legislative Task Force last month asking community members for their support in ensuring that “Port gets its fair share of federal COVID relief aid.” The petition received more than 2,500 signatures from members of the school community. “As a district, we are committed to fighting for our students, our leaders of tomorrow, to provide the educational opportunities and experiences that they deserve—they should not have to bear the brunt of our state’s struggle to balance its budget,” Dr. Michael Hynes, Superintendent of the Port Washington School District, said. “We are grateful to have the support of our local officials as we continue this fight.” Last month, Port’s Legislative Task Force met with New York State Senator Anna Kaplan and Assemblywoman Gina Silitti. Several aspects of the 202122 proposed budget were discussed including the fact that Foundation Aid remained unchanged from last year and reimbursable expenses were categorized under “services aid,” which may leave the district with a shortfall for those expenses in the future. This coupled with the federal stimulus aid, which supplements but does not supplant years of shortfalls, continues to leave Port advocating for funding. Kaplan stated that the federal government is looking to provide about $70 billion in aid for New York State, which will help fund entities, including school districts that have struggled due to the pandemic.

The Legislative Task Force met with State Senator Anna Kaplan to discuss funding for the Port school district. (Screenshot by Caroline Ryan) “We are doing our best to make sure regarding what guidelines will look like for the upcoming school year so that that our schools are funded,” Kaplan they can properly plan ahead before said. “I’m optimistic based on what the budget vote takes place in May. I’ve seen and heard that New York is “Right now, there has been going to get some relief from the no direction from the federal government. We state as to how we are have also been promopening our schools ised that there will be in September,” funds available for I’m optimistic based on Emily Beys said. public schools.

We are asking that we they also had that extra expense in make a determination sooner rather terms of COVID.” than later to allow school districts to Members of the task force also properly plan for what September 2021 stressed the need for the state to provide information to the school districts is going to look like.”

The task force also discussed the digital divide, a continued expense that drives at the heart of making sure equity in education is provided, as well as the need for increased mental health and support services during their meeting with Silitti. “Mental health and any of those services—they need financial support now more than ever, as students begin to return to school fully,” Julie Epstein, board of education member said. “I think this only helps to build and grow our future. This has to be a top priority for budgetary purposes. It involves providing support staff, programming, assessments and we can’t do it without the financial support.” Silitti stated that she is new to her position but that as a Port resident, she has plans to do all she can to help advocate for the Port School District. The task force also met U.S. Congressman Tom Suozzi on March 4 to discuss how he may be able to help advocate for funding. Suozzi acknowledged the challenges that school districts, like Port Washington have faced this year with the pandemic. “I’m trying to fight for money for New York all the time,” Suozzi said. “All of the things you are talking about to make your school district safe—we are hoping the federal government will give you sufficient money so that it will cover those expenses.” Suozzi stated that he is fighting to bring more money to New York for the state, local governments and the school districts and he will do his best to help the district any way he can. The task force will also be meeting with Nassau County Legislator Delia Deriggi Whitton on March 11, in an effort to continue advocating for adequate funding on a county level.

Russell To Seek North Hempstead Clerk Position

Councilwoman would be first African American town-wide elected official

orth Hempstead Councilwoman Viviana L. Russell officially announced her bid for North Hempstead town clerk in this year’s election. She has received the endorsements of both the North Hempstead and Nassau County Democratic Party organizations. The current town clerk, Wayne Wink, is running for Town Supervisor. Upon election, Russell would be the first African American to hold townwide office in North Hempstead. She holds the distinction of being the first ever African American woman elected to town office, having succeeded Robert Troiano, who was the first African American elected official in town history. Russell has represented the 1st Town District (TD1) since her initial election in 2009 and has been reelected twice since then. She is currently serving her 12th year on the town board. TD1 consists of the communities of Westbury, New Cassel, Carle Place and Old Westbury. The councilwoman stated, “I am proud to be the democratic designee for town clerk,” Russell said. “I believe my record of service, advocacy and experience in elected office have prepared me well to serve effectively in this new role, in which I will represent all the communities and residents of North Hempstead. It has been a true honor representing the people of TD1 the past 12 years and I look forward to continuing our work together in this new role.” North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth endorsed councilwoman Russell’s candidacy for Town Clerk, “As a town board member, Viviana Russell has demonstrated her strong commitment to the residents of her district and to the entire Town of North Hempstead. She will be an outstanding town clerk in whom the people of our community can place their confidence and trust.” Current Town Clerk Wayne Wink stated the following, “I am proud to endorse Viviana Russell. She has been an exceptionally able and effective colleague, and I know she will be a great Town Clerk. As the leader of this year’s North Hempstead Democratic team, I

look forward to running with her.” Robert Troiano, Russell’s predecessor on the town board representing TD1 stated: “Viviana Russell is an authentic leader. She leads by quiet example, strength of character, work ethic, and personal integrity. Her humility, intelligence and unyielding commitment to serving the residents of the town will serve her well in this new challenge. Her transition to a town-wide position of leadership stands as an important message that our elected representatives at all levels of government should and must reflect the diversity of our communities.” County Legislator Siela Bynoe (D-Westbury) added her endorsement: “My friend and sister-in-government, councilwoman Viviana Russell, excels in all that she does. Her outstanding record and unmatched dedication to good government will prove a benefit to all the residents of North Hempstead. I am proud to support Viviana in her campaign for town-wide office.”

Russell stated, “Having represented my community in town hall for the past 12 years, I have gained detailed familiarity with the workings of the Town Clerk’s office.” The councilwoman noted this important department is responsible for all town records, issuance of permits, processing of license applications, and many other key administrative and management functions. The Town Clerk is the designated records access officer for the town and coordinates requests for vital documents under the state’s Freedom of Information Law (FOIL). In addition, the Town Clerk is Registrar of Vital Statistics for the town itself, as well as for about 20 incorporated villages within the town. Russell commented on some of her goals as Town Clerk, “As Town Clerk, I will continue the office’s focus on outreach to residents, the business community, and civic groups, to ensure the most positive interactions possible between the office and the

public. Building on innovations in technology championed by our current Town Clerk, Wayne Wink, I will look to develop additional online training resources, tutorials, and enhanced technological tools to serve the Town even better. To maintain openness and transparency in Town government, I will work to ensure quick and efficient response times for vital document FOIL requests. In addition, I will seek practical and innovative ways to help reduce the town’s carbon footprint.” Councilwoman Russell noted her memberships in and affiliations with the following: NAACP, First Baptist Cathedral of Westbury, SUNY Old Westbury Foundation (Trustee), Espoir Youth Program, Unity Circle Million Women Movement, Westbury Community-wide Partnership, Project Independence Advisory Council, Westbury Industry Advisory Committee. Russell is the daughter of Cuban and American parents. Her father emigrated from Cuba to the U.S. in the 1950s and married her mother, who was a native of South Carolina. They raised Viviana and her five older siblings in East Elmhurst, Queens. Viviana attended parochial school through the eighth grade, New York City public high school, and received a B.A. in social science from The College of New Rochelle. She has been married for 27 years to Gary Russell Sr. They are the proud parents of Gary Jr., Imani, and Malachi, as well as the blessed grandparents of twins, Amirah and Josiah, age 2½. Viviana and Gary Sr. have been proud residents of the New Cassel community for the past 22 years. “I am a wife, mother, grandmother, sibling, primary caregiver to my elderly mother-in-law, and an individual committed to leaving this world a better place than it was when I entered it,” Russell concluded. “Commitment to family, friends, faith, and community defines who I am. As I seek this new opportunity to work on behalf of all the residents of our great town, I am taking nothing for granted and I humbly ask for their support of my candidacy for Town Clerk.” —Submitted by the campaign for Vivanna Russell

Northwell Named One Of World’s Most Ethical Companies

News

orthwell Health has been recognized as one of 2021 World’s Most Ethical Companies by the Ethisphere Institute, one of nine health systems nationwide to make the list and the only one from New York State. Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, selected Northwell for the sixth time. New York’s largest health system and private employer was among 135 organizations spanning 22 countries and 47 industries to be named a Most Ethical company. “We hold ourselves to the highest of standards and in spite of a pandemic that pushed the world to the breaking point our health care heroes continue to deliver compassionate, quality care,” Michael Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health, said. “Our culture has carried us through this dark time, turning adversity into strength.

Northwell has treated more than 163,000 COVID-19

patients to date, including 16,000 who were hospitalized between March and Labor Day—more than any other health system in the nation. The criteria Ethisphere used to judge the World’s Most Ethical Companies included more than 200 questions on culture, environmental and social

practices, ethics and compliance activities, governance, diversity and initiatives to support strong cultural values. The process was streamlined and question set expanded to gauge how applicants adapted and responded to the global health pandemic, environmental, social and governance factors, safety, equity and inclusion and social justice. “We are truly honored and grateful to be counted among The World’s Most Ethical Companies,” Greg Radinsky, senior vice president and Northwell’s chief corporate compliance officer, said. “Congratulations to everyone at Northwell Health for earning this recognition.

Schreiber students enrolled in Kaylan Erikson’s Wall Street/Portfolio Management course invested (hypothetically) in Snapchat; Palantir Technologies; Tesla, Inc.; Coty Inc.; and Macy’s through their participation in The Stock Market Game. The results of their investments, diligence and demonstration of investment knowledge placed the Port team second out of 1,113 competing teams in the Long Island region. Over the course of 12 weeks, Schreiber’s team of sophomores— Ryan Epstein, Chase Pastolove and Davin Rabman—built and managed funds, utilizing a hypothetical

$100,000. While tracking their investments, the multidisciplinary competition provided students with the opportunity to showcase their knowledge in core mathematics, English Language Arts and research skills, as well as real-world experience in fundamental business, economics and social studies. The national program, sponsored by the SIFMA Foundation, is designed to provide students with a fundamental understanding of investments within the stock market.

Port Water District Passes Ordinance Requiring Smart Irrigation Controllers

he Port Washington Water District Board of Commissioners recently passed an ordinance that will require all residents with an automatic irrigation system to replace their standard irrigation timer with a smart irrigation controller by Jan. 1, 2025. The decision adds another important tool to support the District’s already robust conservation program and further preserve and protect the community’s only source of drinking water. “The ordinance to have residents swap their current automatic irrigation system and standard timer for a smart irrigation controller aligns with the district’s goal of sustaining water availability now and for future generations,” David Brackett, Chairman of the PWWD, said. “Irrigation systems are unequivocally the largest consumer of water in the home and require the district’s average daily

pumpage to more than double once they’re turned on. This amounts to hundreds of millions of gallons of treated drinking water being applied to our lawns, with much of this water being wasted due to inefficient systems. These systems cut back on water waste, keeping water in the ground and money in your pocket.” Smart irrigation controllers have proven to be effective at lowering water bills while keeping lawns and gardens green. This intuitive technology replaces a standard irrigation timer with a web-based controller that connects to local weather stations to more accurately predict when the system should water and how much water to apply to the lawn. Taking into account past and future rain events, temperature and even soil moisture on some units, these systems can tally up a water savings of more than 30

percent for the average user. The district typically pumps more than 1.2 billion gallons of water each year with approximately 500 million gallons going to feed irrigation systems throughout the District. Reducing this amount by 20 percent would not only keep hundreds of millions of gallons of water in the aquifer, but would save the district tens of thousands of dollars each year in costs accrued to pump, treat and deliver this extra water. This level of reduction also increases the district’s ability to keep wells impacted by

The district has made and continues to offers a number of $150 rebates on a first-come, first-served basis to qualified residents. “Smart controllers typically cost between $200 and $300, and, more often than not, can be easily installed,” Commissioner Peter Meyer said. “Between our $150 rebate and the money saved from using less water, most smart controllers pay for themselves within the first year of use. There is no downside to making the switch.” If you wish to apply for a rebate on the smart irrigation system visit pwwd.org/ conservation/landscape-irrigation-smart-controller-rebate-program-application/.

The systems are so effective that the expense to make the conversion to a smart controller essentially pays for itself with just a year’s worth of use.” Several years ago, the District created a rebate program to incentivize the conversion to a smart irrigation

athleen Yasas of MSP International, a company located in Port Washington for more than two decades, recently published a novel called “I Did It For Alice,” a murder mystery set in upstate New York. The novel, she says, is about flawed people “like us all.” Kelly Quinn, a failed math genius turned private investigator; his eccentric mother; long-ago schoolmates, successful in name only and someone out for revenge. Quinn is drawn into a case in which those hometown schoolmates— scattered across the country decades later are dying. When Quinn receives a phone call from old flame Dinah Pelling, he agrees to take on the investigation, which sends him and Pelling on a search to discover if the deaths are by suicide, accident or murder. “I’m a fan of the old 1930s and 40s Thin Man movies, based on Dashiell Hammett’s book “The Thin Man,” Yasas said. “What I liked about ‘The Thin Man’ was there was no blood and gore, just good old-fashioned detective work, with some fun bantering between the protagonists, Nick and Nora Charles, who were wealthy socialites always on someone’s trail. I wrote ‘I Did It For Alice’ in that spirit, with crime and suspense, leisure-class lifestyles, offbeat humor and just a bit of flirtatious true love.” “We’ve all been through so much this past year,” she added. “I wanted to write a book that doesn’t drag people down into a deeper hole. I wanted a fun mystery and I think I accomplished that.” Yasas has been a professional writer and editor throughout her career, first as a newspaper reporter in Northeast Arkansas, later as a promotional writer and editorial director in New York City and ultimately as president of the medical publishing and meeting management company MSP International, until 2010 located on Main Street next door to Louie’s Restaurant. In late 2010 MSP relocated to upstate New York when her business partner, Michael Fried of Port Washington, retired.

Along with other books she’s written, both fiction and nonfiction, Yasas has had articles featured in a supplement to the New York Times, in Working Woman and Self magazines, and has worked as a newspaper columnist. She currently is president of the nonprofit Save The Sherburne Inn Restoration Project and is also a blogger at The Squeaky Pen. Yasas once served as editor of The Mainsail, the newsletter of The Port Washington Yacht Club. “Back in 2011, I wrote a book called ‘Delta Dead,’” she said, “Based on a local murder while I was a reporter in Arkansas. Delta Dead is a thriller and is decidedly less…user friendly, shall we say. Lots of blood and gore. I Did It For Alice isn’t that type of story. Certainly suspenseful, but on the lighter side.” I Did It For Alice, an Elixir Press Fiction Award semi-finalist, is on sale at The Squeaky Pen, the-squeaky-pen. blogspot.com. Yasas is currently working on the next installment in the Kelly Quinn mysteries, Murder on Cricket Lake. —Submitted by Kathleen Yasas

Susan Ruzenski Named Helen Keller Services CEO

r. Susan Ruzenski, longtime executive director of Helen Keller National Center, has been named chief executive officer of Helen Keller Services (HKS), a national nonprofit organization founded in 1893. HKS is comprised of Helen Keller Services for the Blind (HKSB) and Helen Keller National Center for Deaf-Blind Youths and Adults (HKNC). Ruzenski assumed the role of acting CEO of Helen Keller Services on Oct.1. Ruzenski’s position has now been made permanent. The announcement was made by HKS Board Chairman Larry Kinitsky. “We are exceedingly pleased to make Sue’s appointment to the chief executive position permanent,” said Kinitsky. “Following a comprehensive national search of candidates demonstrating widely diverse backgrounds and experiences,

it became clear without question that Sue stood out among them all as the best all-around. As acting CEO, Sue ably demonstrated her suitability for the role, decisively leading the organization to accomplish its strategic initiatives during a transformative and challenging time. We look forward to working with her and her executive team to continue to advance the goals and mission

of Helen Keller Services.” As chief executive officer, Ruzenski will continue to develop and execute the HKS strategic plan to increase operational effectiveness, set organizational goals, implement strategic learning initiatives and support developmental initiatives across all HKS locations that will benefit HKS consumers. “It is my great honor to serve Helen Keller Services as chief executive officer,” Ruzenski said. “Throughout my 40 year tenure at HKNC, I have seen the organization make great strides in bringing life changing programs to the deaf-blind community. Today, through its two divisions, Helen Keller Services provides comprehensive services to individuals of all ages who are blind, visually impaired, deaf-blind or have combined hearing and vision loss. As

far as we have come, there is always more work to be done. I am grateful to the organizational team members who contribute to Helen Keller Services every day with their knowledge, skills, experience and passion. It is a privilege to be a part of the HKS team and undoubtedly we are poised to grow and excel as we continue to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.” After working at the Helen Keller National Center for Deaf-Blind Youths and Adults in a variety of leadership positions for 35 years, Ruzenski became its executive director in October 2014. Her objective has always been to develop and expand service options for individuals who are deafblind on a national basis and engage with an adult learning community where opportunities towards meaningful employment, self-advocacy

and a preferred community life are achieved. Ruzenski received her B.A. degree (1980) from Dowling College in Special Education; M.A. degree from New York University (1985) in Deaf Education; and Doctorate from Teachers College, Columbia University (2019) in Adult Learning and Leadership. Helen Keller Services’ mission is to enable individuals who are blind, visually-impaired, deaf-blind and/or have combined hearing-vision loss to live, work and thrive in their community of choice. HKS offers services and programs through two divisions: Helen Keller National Center for DeafBlind Youths and Adults and Helen Keller Services for the Blind.

Dr. Bruce Stillman, President of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, which has hosted the ceremony in the past, introduced Congressman Suozzi. “In the midst of what seems like only negative news, there is good news to be shared,” Suozzi said. “Long Island represents only one percent of the US population, but we have nearly 14 percent of the

We need to ensure that students like these can utilize their talents here at home as we strive to brand Long Island as the ‘495 Research Corridor on High-Tech Island.’ These

scholars, who are primed to solve some of society’s most urgent challenges, are the future of our community and I am proud to honor their achievements.” Of the 300 high school seniors from across the country that advanced in the first round of the annual Regeneron Science Talent

Search, 41 of those students are from Long Island, and of those, a very impressive 26 come from the third Congressional District. Long Island has two students, both from Suozzi’s district, who have advanced and been named Regeneron finalists: Lucy Zha, of The Wheatley School in East Williston and Justin Shen, of Jericho High School. They are among the 40 finalists nationwide who will compete this month for the more than $1.8 million in awards provided by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. The students honored by Congressman Suozzi represent ten high schools in the 3rd Congressional District: Elwood-John Glenn High School, Great Neck South High School, Herricks High School, Jericho Senior High School, Kings Park High

School, Manhasset High School, North Shore High School, Paul D. Schreiber High School, Syosset High School and The Wheatley School. Honorees included national scholars and finalists in the 2021 Regeneron Science Talent Search and the winner of the 2020 Congressional App Challenge, an annual competition sponsored by the U.S. House of Representatives that encourages students to learn coding and to pursue careers in computer science. Started in 1942 as the Westinghouse Science Talent Search, Regeneron has funded the contest since 2016 and has doubled the annual prize money. While funding sources have changed over the years, the contest has been run continuously by the Society for Science, a nonprofit group. —Submitted by Tom Suozzi’s office

I’ve also been advocating for the vulnerable population of seniors to have access to vaccines, so as of yesterday our Department of Health was not allowed by the state to administer the vaccine to anyone over 65, unless they had a co-morbidity.” But the day before, in a statement, Curran said that Governor Andrew Cuomo had agreed to allow the county to begin administering vaccines to the 65-plus group starting the week of March 1. “I was very concerned because we know that seniors are very vulnerable to serious illness and unfortunately, death, to this virus, more than the rest of the population,” Curran said. “So I am glad to we can reach out to the seniors. We’ll start making those appointments when we get our new allotments next week.” On March 1, Curran announced that the county’s weekly vaccine allotment was 7,200, a 35 percent increase from the previous week’s allotment of 5,300. The county has seen a decline in new positivity rates and hospitalizations, returning to the state of affairs before the holidays. “However, we are hearing of more contagious variants, so we are asking everyone to continue to wear masks and social distance,” Curran warned. “Our record is 100 percent.

Purim Night At The Great Neck Synagogue Dermatologist Paul E. Brody of Great Neck Estates is flanked by Russell and Eli Mendelson, two of more than 325 students that he has instructed over the past two decades at the Middle School of the North Shore Hebrew Academy, in the art of chanting Megillat Esther (Scroll of Esther), which is read on the joyous holiday of Purim. The Mendelson brothers are among a handful of those students who have mastered the skill of chanting the “Gantze (Entire) Megillah.” Dr. Brody chanted the Megillah for the 26th year at the Great Neck Synagogue on Purim night and day, Thursday and Friday, Feb. 25 and 26 and at the Young Israel of Great Neck on Purim morning. Russell chanted it in a simultaneous service at GNS Purim night. Eli, of Goldman Sachs, read it two years ago and the brothers have collaborated, sometimes splitting the reading. They are the sons of Dr. Robert Mendelson, Director of Medicine of Jamaica Hospital Medical Center and Annie Mendelson, who is a Village of Great Neck Trustee. In the photo, Dr. Brody—wearing the more than 100-year-old Tallit (Prayer Shawl) of his maternal grandfather, Rabbi Jacob Brown, of Blessed Memory, who convinced him that learning to chant the “Gantze Megillah” was not insurmountable is holding his Megillah Scroll, which was presented to him by a sainted Rabbi from Israel’s Northern Galilee, Rabbi Yitzchok Dovid Grossman of

NOSH Needs Freezer For Food Donations

fter feeding the hungry for more than 30 years, the North Shore Soup Kitchen was forced to close temporarily in March 2020 as a result of the emerging pandemic. After the pandemic resulted in a regional economic shutdown, the Soup Kitchen tailored its outreach to safely meet an unprecedented need for nutrition assistance by launching NOSH, led by Soup Kitchen volunteer Buffy MeMe Peterson. Because residents and business owners have

donated so generously, Peterson is now spearheading a raffle that will raise funds toward the purchase a new or gently used freezer for storing surplus perishable foods. Tickets are $10 for five chances to win 18 regular baskets, and $5 each to enter the drawing for four grand prize baskets. “During the past year, NOSH has been a lifeline to so many families in our community, and I am thankful to my lifelong friend Buffy Peterson for thinking of this idea,”

James and Buffy Peterson are coming up with creative ways to raise money for the NOSH freezer.

Legislator Delia DeRiggiWhitton said. “Based on the overwhelming generosity Glen Cove residents have shown the last year, I have no doubt she will be successful in this latest initiative.” Each week since the Soup Kitchen closed, volunteers have gathered donated food to create “NOSH Bags,” which are delivered to homes on the peninsula between Hempstead Harbor and Oyster Bay. The meal kits, which are crated under the guidance of a volunteer

dietician, include ingredients for two meals for a family of four; larger families receive more than one NOSH Bag. “Thanks so much to everyone for their support,” Peterson said. Donations toward the purchase of a freezer and to help fill NOSH Bags are always welcome.

Plainview Students To Present Research At Symposium

Kindergarten teacher Ms. Holly Roselle and her “centenarians” celebrate the 100th day of school.

Theodore Roosevelt Students Celebrate The 100th Day Of School Kindergarteners and first graders at Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School in the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District marked the 100th day of school by engaging in a host of activities across the curriculum that celebrated the number 100. “The 100th day of school celebration is a wonderful opportunity for our students to thoroughly engage in and be excited about learning as they immerse themselves in fun and dynamic lessons that build skills across the curriculum,” Theodore Roosevelt Principal Tami McElwee said. “Our students had a fun and productive day and I thank our teachers and staff for

making it a great success.” Dressed as centenarians, students and teachers donned gray-colored wigs, glasses, bow ties and suspenders, for instance, to see what it is like to be 100 years old. Some classes made 100th day crowns to wear for the day; others made headbands and drew pictures of what they would look like in 100 years. To keep things moving, students participated in a 100th day of school dance found on YouTube and engaged in other physical activities, including skip counting to 100 by 2s, 5s and 10s. —Submitted by Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District

Don’t Put Off Until Tomorrow What You Can Do Today Is it safe to go to the doctor for routine visits? BY CHRISTY HINKO

chinko@antonmediagroup.com

n a mid- and post-pandemic world, there is a lot to consider when making appointments for routine doctors’ visits, like having your eyes checked or having a skin cancer screening. Naturally, people are nervous, cautious or even afraid to stick to their normal routines as has always been in the past. We have questions; is it clean enough, who might have been here, were they infected, were they screened, were they asymptomatic? And all for good reason. But doctors, nurses, administrators, who are all on the front line, every day, all day, assure us, it is as safe as it ever was. The Prevent Cancer Foundation recently released disturbing survey results, showing that more than 52 percent of American adults have missed, postponed or cancelled routine medical appointments and screenings because of COVID-19. “This second wave of the survey confirms our worst fears—the pandemic has made people more afraid to go to screenings and 32 percent are not their doctors.

Northwell Delivers First Doses Of Johnson & Johnson Vaccine

he third effective vaccine in the fight against COVID-19 arrived at several Northwell Health hospitals this week. The first use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine took place at South Shore University Hospital (SSUH), where a Long Island woman volunteered to receive the one-shot inoculation after recovering from hip replacement surgery. Susan Maxwell-Trumble, 67, of Babylon, said she was excited to finally get the vaccine as she readied for discharge after her March 1 surgery. “I have a few preexisting conditions and this vaccine will allow me some more freedom in my life,” Maxwell-Trumble said. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued emergency use authorization for the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine on Feb. 27. The J&J vaccine is 86 percent effective against the most severe form of COVID-19 and no patients who received the vaccine in their trials died or required hospitalization. It joins the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines in use throughout the U.S.

Northwell Health’s first Johnson & Johnson vaccine was delivered to a patient at South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore. From left: Jay Enden, MD; Donna Moravick, NP; patient Susan Maxwell-Trumble; Stephen Bello; and vaccinator Jeanine Mucci, RN. (Photo courtesy of Northwell Health) The New York State Department of Health authorized its use for discharge patients over the age of 65 followed by those under 65 with comorbidities. “The addition of a third vaccine adds another weapon to the arsenal in fighting COVID-19,” Stephen Bello, PA, regional executive director of Northwell’s Eastern Region said. “In preparation for this over the last 48

hours, we’ve been thinking about the last year in which we’ve battled COVID-19 every day. When this started there was really only one weapon to fight this virus; the hard work, knowledge and dedication of the health care community.” Since Northwell’s first inoculation on Dec. 14—when Northwell vaccinated the first person in the nation

under FDA approval—the health care system has vaccinated more than 100,000 people, including 52,000 team members. As a one-dose inoculation that can be stored at regular refrigerated temperatures and can stay viable for up to three months, the J&J vaccine is easy to transport, store and distribute. It will boost the capacity to vaccinate twice the number of people over the same period of time. “This represents a pivot point for our patients,” Jay Enden, MD, medical director at SSUH said. “Before today, eligible non-vaccinated non-COVID patients who were discharged must recover at home and then begin the arduous process of trying to find a place to get a vaccine, try to get an appointment, wait for the appointment and then begin the three-tofour-week period where they need sequential vaccines. Starting today, we can discharge these patients to their period of recovery and at the same time as they recover, they can acquire immunity and protection.” —Submitted by Northwell Health

Vaccination Central At The Regency

hanks to an organized production on behalf of the Regency Administrative Team and CVS Pharmacy, residents and staff have received their first and second COVID-19 vaccinations. On Jan. 26, 100-year-old resident, Helen Brezil, received her first vaccine. On Feb. 16 Brezil was fully vaccinated after she had her second dose. She said she felt well and was grateful. It only took four hours for 125 residents and staff to be checked in, get vaccinated, wait 15 minutes for any side effects and carry on with their day. “I am appreciative of how organized the clinic was,” Regency resident Patricia Herrera said, who is a retired nurse. The CVS pharmacists on both vaccination dates were extremely professional with the administration of vaccines to all.

YU Langone Hospital—Long Island has announced that it has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for its Comprehensive Stroke Program, which is the highest level of stroke certification in the U.S. The Joint Commission is the nation’s largest healthcare accrediting body. The certification underscores NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island’s ability to treat the most complex stroke cases, responding within minutes—on a 24/7 basis—with a comprehensive team of experts that includes neurologists, neurosurgeons, interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, emergency medicine physicians, critical care physicians and more. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S., and the ability of a hospital to swiftly respond with the highest levels of expert care has been shown to lead to optimal patient outcomes. “The Joint Commission designation acknowledges our world-class capabilities in diagnosing and treating stroke patients,” Shazia Alam, DO, director of the Comprehensive Stroke Center at NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, said. “We’re a stroke hospital, not just a stroke program in a hospital. Not only does our stroke team possess some of the best experts in the region, but our entire hospital staff is trained to recognize and immediately activate our stroke protocols since every second matters with stroke patients.” NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island underwent a rigorous, multiday review by the Joint Commission, during which a team of reviewers evaluated the hospital’s compliance with certification standards pertaining to stroke program-management, quality, and the delivery of the most

expedient and advanced clinical care. The reviewers also conducted onsite observations and interviews. They commented, in their final report, on the hospital’s hard work, patience, and perseverance that has been evident during the pandemic and described the stroke program and its team members as “amazing, passionate, proactive, and innovative” and that “NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island has truly raised the bar in stroke care.” “The goal of our program is to meet or exceed all regulatory goals for gold-level care,” says Alam, “and that includes a very short, 25-minute window for the diagnosis and determination of critically needed care, which includes triage in the emergency room, specialized stroke care, and advanced imaging, all within 25 minutes. The hospital wants to be a ‘beacon on Long Island’ for stroke care.” NYU Langone Health has similar comprehensive stroke centers in Manhattan and Brooklyn. “We congratulate NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island for this outstanding achievement,” said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer of the American Stroke Association. “This certification reflects its commitment to providing the highest quality of care for stroke patients.” In addition to advanced treatments available for stroke patients at NYU Langone Health locations, the hospitals also offer advanced therapies, a dedicated neurocritical care unit, and extensive inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services. NYU Langone Health also is on the cutting-edge of advances in clinical trials and research initiatives. Visit nyulangone.org to learn more. —Submitted by NYU Langone Health

The Lesser Known: Hepatitis D

iral hepatitis is common and the best-known viruses causing hepatitis are types A, B and C. Little known, but important, is delta hepatitis or hepatitis D. While delta hepatitis affects about 15-20 million worldwide compared to the hundreds of millions the others affect, it results in the most severe form of viral hepatitis with a significantly increased risk of developing liver failure, cirrhosis and liver cancer. By the numbers, 10 to 20 percent of people with hepatitis C will develop cirrhosis within 20 years of exposure, 20 percent of people with chronic hepatitis B will develop cirrhosis within five years and a staggering 70-80 percent of patients with hepatitis D will develop cirrhosis within five to 10 years. People with hepatitis D have a 60 percent mortality rate within 10 years. So why is hepatitis D relevant to us as this disease is far less common than the other viral hepatitis viruses? Interesting, of the 20 zip codes in the United States with the greatest prevalence of this infection, nine are located in our area with several of these on

THE SPECIALIST David Bernstein, MD

Long Island. None are more than an hour drive from Nassau County. So how does someone acquire hepatitis D? The risks factors for hepatitis D are similar to those of hepatitis B. The most common risk factors are sexual contact, intravenous drug use, tattoos and body piercing. Hepatitis D or delta hepatitis is unique as it only affects people with hepatitis B. Infection with delta hepatitis can occur at the same time as infection with hepatitis B, termed co-infection, or it may affect people previously infected with hepatitis B, termed super-infection. Co-infection usually results in acute

disease characterized by fatigue, abnormal liver tests and jaundice. Most people who simultaneously contract hepatitis B and D will recover within six months of exposure although a small percentage may develop acute liver failure or develop chronic disease. Superinfection with hepatitis D is more worrisome. This occurs when a person already infected with hepatitis B acquires hepatitis D. Superinfection leads to chronic disease in more than 90 percent of cases. In those patients whose hepatitis D resolves after superinfection, the underlying hepatitis B persists. Superinfected patients are the ones most likely to develop cirrhosis, liver cancer and need a liver transplant. In fact, superinfected patients develop liver cancer at a rate that is three times that of hepatitis B alone. There are currently no approved therapies for hepatitis D although injectable interferon therapy is used in some patient. Research is ongoing to develop new and effective therapies. Liver transplantation is the best treatment for end stage liver disease secondary to this virus with the risk

of reinfection of the graft low but still possible. Because of the lack of effective treatments, current strategies are focused upon disease prevention. There is no vaccination specifically formulated to prevent hepatitis D. Luckily, vaccination against hepatitis B will also protect an individual from acquiring hepatitis D. Risk factor avoidance is also effective. So, what is the take home message regarding hepatitis D? First, health care providers and patients should think about and test for this infection in the correct setting. And second, risk factor avoidance is good medicine as is universal hepatitis B vaccination, which will prevent against acquiring this worrisome and potentially deadly disease.

Saint Bernard’s Catholic Church Souper Bowl Of Caring

n Christmas Day last year, a fire broke out at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Levittown. The church congregation had been meeting outdoors or streaming services from the pastor’s living room until Sunday, Feb. 28, when a tent was erected for their weekly worship services. The gathering that Sunday was notable not only because of the tent, but because the church community was joined by members of Saint Bernard’s Catholic Church, which is located a short distance away on Hempstead Turnpike. The Saint Bernard community responded to the fire by raising and donating $10,000 in contributions toward the rebuilding of Good Shepherd Church. It has been an annual tradition on Super Bowl Sunday for the “Charitable KIDZ” youth group to put out empty soup pots to seek donations for a charitable cause. In the past 17 years, among the good causes the funds collected went to included digging a water well in a small village in Africa, supporting a school for people with special needs in India and helping the community in Levittown, Puerto Rico, after Hurricane Maria devastated the neighborhood there. “This year it was a no-brainer to decide that the Souper Bowl of Caring collection would go to our neighbors

Members of Saint Bernard’s parish joined with the congregation of Good Shepherd Church to offer support after the church fire.

up the block,” said Sister Christine Sammons OP, the coordinator of Saint Bernard’s Parish Social Ministry. Saint Bernard’s had suffered two fires in its earlier days and many parishioners still recalled that shattering experience. “It wasn’t surprising that there was such an outpouring of generosity,” said Father Ralph Sommer, pastor of Saint Bernard’s. “Levittown people have always shown that they support each other in times of tragedy and need. We’ve seen that during the COVID-19 outbreak and this is just another example of love in action.” In addition to the $10,000 contribution from parish members, an additional $1,000 was contributed by the local Conference of the Saint Vincent de Paul Society. Good Shepherd’s Pastor Remo Madsen welcomed the Charitable KIDZ and members of Saint Bernard’s parish and accepted the donations on behalf of his community. “It’s been a tough journey. On Dec. 25, I felt that we were on our own as we had to rebuild. I didn’t know that we were not on our own at that time. This is an example of how we are not alone. It is so uplifting and encouraging and exhilarating to have this partnership.” —Submitted by Saint Bernard’s Catholic Church

After a year of fully being shutdown due to COVID-19, Dave & Buster’s is ready for its comeback now that Governor Andrew Cuomo allowed indoor entertainment spots to be allowed to reopen under strict new health and safety guidelines. “It means a lot [that we can reopen] since we were closed a full year,” a spokesperson from Dave & Buster’s said. “It means we get to hire back some of the 1,200 people that were laid off in all of New York and that we can generate income again.” On Friday, March 26, all of the state’s 11 Dave & Buster’s will be open with the store’s games officially being turned on. The maximum capacity that is currently allowed is 25 percent.

The hours of operation will be noon to 10 p.m. Sundays to Thursdays, and Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 11 p.m. for the three locations that are on Long Island. Locations on Long Island are in Westbury, Massapequa and Islandia. All stores will be open for indoor dining starting on Monday, March 15. “Parties will also be resuming soon and we are currently taking bar mitzvahs for Fall and Winter 2021-22,” the spokesperson added.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ENACT THE NEW YORK HEALTH ACT I have spent most of my career in the insurance industry and it is time to enact the New York Health Act, which will save money and work for all New Yorkers. The NYHA will save money by buying in bulk, creating a larger pool of people, reducing the cost of administration and claims, and ending

bloated executive salaries— the costs of healthcare will fall under the NYHA. The self-employed, like myself, will benefit from lower contributions while small businesses will save money by not having to pay for insurance for their employees. Families will save thousands of dollars by eliminating

premiums, deductibles, co-pays and out-of-network charges. The NYHA will end balance billing, end the requirement to use a physician network and will continue to cover pre-existing conditions. Additionally, the NYHA will eliminate medical debt, which continues to be the primary reason for consumer

bankruptcy. This winter will see higher numbers of Long Island residents struggling to afford healthcare or losing coverage due to unemployment from COVID. Now is the time to act and for New York to lead the nation with comprehensive healthcare. —Joe Chvasta

THE WORLD WE LIVE IN What a world we live in. In one moment, we were “Zoom-bombed” and felt the hate of some pathetic group of strangers who chose to disrupt our Torah study. Soon afterward, we were overwhelmed by offers of support and care, providing a far greater positive impact

than the negativity we had experienced. We received calls and letters of support from the many corners of our Great Neck community and beyond—Jews and non-Jewish alike. The outpouring was plentiful, meaningful and heartfelt. Leaders from our sister synagogues and those

from different religious institutions and cultural groups stand with us. As Jews, we have experienced hatred and antisemitism in our history, and we know the importance of being strong and proudly standing up in our own defense. Having our greater community stand alongside

us, we know that there will always be moments of darkness and acts of evil, but we will stand united, strong and never bend to intimidation. May we continue to go from strength to strength. —Gary Slobin President of Temple Beth-El of Great Neck

COLUMN

Unity, Like Beauty, Is In The Eye Of The Beholder Having spent more than 30 years of my life working in the public arena, I have a pretty good understanding of the word “unity.” As a member of the state legislature, I learned early on that you could get things done on a bipartisan basis. And on the occasions when we worked with the political opposition, we were able to pass landmark legislation. But it is clear that the current debate on President Biden’s pledge to unify the country is not going to be resolved so easily. The president has a lifetime history of working with both sides on a vast number of issues.

COLUMNS

The Search Someone asked me, what is your favorite piece of art? The first image that emerged were paintings by Edward Hopper. You might know him as the artist who painted “Nighthawks”, the diner scene that captured the isolation and loneliness of urban American life. Norman Rockwell is another favorite. He captured so many scenes of ordinary American life with an abundance of warmth, humor and patriotism. Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday, always evokes a Rockwell family gathering for me. Rockwell was hardly a soft touch. For example, his focus was civil rights in “The Problem We All Live With.” The 1964 painting portrays 6-year-old Ruby Bridges, an AfricanAmerican girl who is making her way to her first day in an allwhite school in New Orleans during school desegregation. She is holding a notebook, ruler and two-colored pencils in her left hand. Bridges is being escorted by deputy U.S. marshals due to threats of violence. I love it, but I’m still looking. As I roll through my memory and scroll by Hopper and Rockwell, I’m reminded of my visits to the Nassau County Art Museum in Roslyn and the Whitney in Manhattan to see Red Grooms’ exhibits. His painted-collage sculptures are incredible. I vividly recall entering of one of Grooms’ large-scale sculptures in 1987. New York Times reporter Roberta Smith described it as a “life-sized

ANDREW MALEKOFF subway car whose floor bobs and weaves convincingly and whose seats are filled with slightly larger-than-life passengers who form a veritable lexicon of New York types.” The subway “ride” was a unique experience, but I was compelled to keep up the search which took me to the Louvre, where I stepped out of an elevator into a room of people standing

shoulder-to-shoulder, all gawking at the “Mona Lisa.” I finally stopped scrolling when I arrived in Vatican City. I raised my eyes to try and recapture that moment. I found myself standing in the Sistine Chapel looking up at the nine scenes from the Book of Genesis, the central one being “The Creation of Adam.” That iconic image depicts Adam and God extending their arms, reaching out to one another, fingers almost touching. Adam, perhaps, receiving the gift of life. What I recall most about being in that sacred space was a feeling of awe—sacred, sublime, stupefying. The only thing I can compare it to is the birth of my children. Although many works of art move me, there was a

difference between stepping into Grooms’ subway car and standing in the Sistine Chapel, in the presence of Michelangelo. Knowing something of the backstory adds to the experience. Creating the frescoes, mostly elevated on his back, was so unpleasant that Michelangelo wrote a poem in 1509 about the physical strain of the project and the misery it generated. Here are just a few lines:

His misery was a labor of love—the agony and the ecstasy, as Irving Stone entitled his classic biographical novel about Michelangelo. Although most mortals will never reach his height of achievement, many will experience the struggle involved in completing a demanding undertaking born of passion, no matter how big or small, whether My haunches are grinding public or private. into my guts, And, just maybe in the end my poor ass strains to work when pain transforms into as a counterweight, relief, they will feel the hand every gesture I make is of God reaching out. blind and aimless.

Students and staff in the Hicksville School District marked the 100th Day of School on March 1. During what has been an unprecedented year, reaching this milestone with school buildings open called for celebrations across the district’s elementary schools. In honor of the day, students dressed up as 100-year-olds and also wore 100th Day of School shirts. Classrooms were even decorated with the number 100. Many students participated in counting activities and arts and crafts surrounding the day’s theme. While in-person learners took part in activities in the classroom, remote learners were still involved. Many dressed up from home and took part in virtual projects. The Farmingdale School District’s PTA held a Pick A Reading Partner (PARP) program at the elementary schools. Students from Saltzman East Memorial, Woodward Parkway, Albany Avenue, and Northside Elementary kicked off the program, designed to engage and involve parents, caregivers and other adults in fostering a child’s love of reading. The goal for the PARP program is to encourage children to read with a partner every day. Over at Woodward Parkway, students are set to go on adventures with their books. The children were able to fill out a passport that will take their reading all around the world. In addition, teachers, principals and even Superintendent Paul Defendini will disguise themselves as mystery readers for all to enjoy. During PARP last year, students at Albany Avenue read for a total of 46,553 minutes. During this year’s Read Across America, students have

been challenged to beat that total. Albany Avenue Principal Joseph Valentine has agreed to complete a Principal’s Challenge chosen by students if they are successful. The PTA at Northside Elementary organized a PARP-themed, “Reading is your Ticket to Adventure” Kahoot trivia night for students and their families and it was a big hit. Northside teachers created the questions and winners received Dunkin Donuts gift cards.

In honor of Black History Month, Lee Road Elementary School students in Eileen Vogel’s fifth grade class recently explored influential civil rights leaders. Each student conducted research on one of these prominent leaders such as Ruby Bridges, Rosa Parks and Jackie Robinson. They then created a biography presentation on Google Slides where they provided photos and details about their individual’s early life and the impact they made during the Civil Rights Era. The students shared their engaging presentations with the class. The project allowed the fifth graders

to practice their public speaking and technology skills while also expanding their knowledge of Black history. Actually, the carpet was pink, but that didn’t matter to students as they crossed the auditorium stage on Feb. 24 to celebrate reaching triple digits in the 2020-21 school year. One by one, first graders stopped in front of a blue East Lake Elementary banner and under gold “100” balloons, then struck a pose as their teachers snapped photos. Students wore shirts covered in 100 of different objects, from candy to stickers to plastic rhinestones. Many wrote fun messages such as “100 days smarter,” 100 days sweeter” and “I survived 100 days of school.” Back in their classrooms, students enjoyed 100 day writing and math activities, such as rolling dice and continuing to add up their totals until they reached 100. Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club proudly celebrated Black History month by honoring past board members, the late William Joe Johnson and the late James Middleton, two American heroes who served the club, their community and country with distinction.

Oyster Bay High School senior Nicholas Tardugno was named a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship Program, placing him among the top 1 percent of the nation’s brightest and most promising students.

Brian Lee, a senior at Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School, is a candidate for one of the highest education honors in the United States for high school students. Lee was selected out of nearly 3.6 million students graduating this year as a nominee for the United States Presidential Scholars Program.

Common sources of carbon monoxide include malfunctioning forced-air furnaces, kerosene space heaters, natural gas ranges, wood stoves, water heaters, fireplaces and motor vehicle engines. The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to those of the flu. If you suspect carbon monoxide is present in your home, go outside immediately and call 911. Next, call National Grid’s gas emergency contact number, 800-4900045 for Long Island. Do not return to your home until the carbon monoxide source is found. National Grid shares the following safety reminders to help customers identify and prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Install Underwriters Laboratory, or UL, approved home carbon monoxide detectors on every floor of your home. • Check chimneys or flues for debris, bird nests or other blockages and have them cleaned periodically. • Never use a gas range for heating or burn coal or charcoal in an enclosed space. • Never cover slots or holes in the bottom of the oven with spill pans or foil, which can block airflow in the oven. • Never operate a back-up generate indoors. National Grid will respond immediately to all carbon-monoxide related calls for natural gas customers within its service area—even if you purchase natural gas from an alternative gas supplier or marketer. Always call 911 first. —Submitted by National Grid

Evelyn Robin Sobel

Joan Cohen Joan Cohen, 86, of Great Neck, NY, passed away peacefully in Denver on Sunday, February 14, 2021, with her sons by her side. Joan was born in Brooklyn, where she attended Tilden High School and studied painting and drawing at Brooklyn College. She was a highly-respected arts educator, having taught at Bayside High School in Queens, NY, where she was instrumental in the school being designated as an art magnet school. She also taught at Pace College. During and after her teaching career, Joan owned an interior design business in New York. Clients often commissioned her to design unique furniture pieces and rugs. She spoke her mind, yet had a huge heart. She also was fiercely independent, traveled the world and loved the Big Apple. She frequently drove into Manhattan to attend theater, jazz performances, art exhibits, and dinner with friends. She particularly loved the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and taking her grandkids to watch the float preparations. She remained healthy and active into her 80s, attending the gym regularly. In recent years, she served on her coop’s board and re-designed the lobby and common areas, as well as exterior landscaping. Joan is survived by her brothers Arthur Goldberg of Las Vegas, NV, and Jack (Katherine) Goldberg, of Lake Worth, FL; her two sons: Robert Cohen and Douglas (Sarah) Cohen, of Denver, Colorado; and four granddaughters: Gretchen Cohen, Morgan Cohen, Mackenzie Cohen and Emerson Cohen. We loved her and miss her greatly. Services were held on Friday, February 19th, for immediate family at Fairmount Cemetery in Denver, Colorado. Other friends and family were invited to participate virtually through the Feldman Mortuary site on YouTube. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (http://giftfunds.stjude.org/JoanCohen).

BEVERLY SCHMIDT Beverly (Watson) Schmidt, 89, of Shrewsbury, MA formerly of Cromwell, CT and Manhasset, NY, passed away Thursday, February 25, 2021 after a brief illness. She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Harry P. Schmidt, her son, Greg Schmidt and his wife Sharon of Harvard, MA, her daughter, Carol Swegle of Scottsdale, AZ, and her grandsons Matthew and Jon Schmidt and Scott Swegle and his wife Maddy and Jeff Swegle. She was predeceased by her beloved brother, William Watson. Bev was born and raised in Yonkers, NY, attended Geneva College and briefly taught 4th grade before opting to stay home to raise her family. She devoted her life to caring for her husband, children, grandchildren, and granddogs, showing her love by cooking, cleaning, shopping and worrying. Bev had an amazingly optimistic attitude, a great sense of humor, an infectious laugh and loved to play games, especially Skip-bo and “the dice game.” Bev lived the adage “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” and put others above herself at every opportunity. She volunteered for every field trip her children ever attended, gave 30 years of service to the North Shore University Hospital auxiliary in Manhasset and, as a woman of deep faith, gave unselfishly to the Congregational church wherever she lived. Always eager to please her family and to be prepared for an emergency, she was a prolific shopper who, thankfully, never learned how to order via Amazon. Bev and Harry traveled extensively in retirement and her favorite place to be was at Deer Valley in Park City, Utah with her family. A private memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please contribute to your favorite charity. To view Bev’s online tribute, share a memory or offer a condolence, please visit www.chiampafuneralhome.com.

Mineola HS Student-Athlete Spotlight Continues The Mineola Athletics Department student athlete spotlight shines on Tristan Dougherty and Anthony Bonetti.

Tristan Dougherty

As a member of the varsity basketball and baseball teams Tristan Dougherty is a contributing member of two excellent programs. Dougherty has dedicated countless hours of time as a Mineola Mustang athlete work-ing in practice and in pre-season training to better his skills and make the team better. As a busy student athlete, he—not surprisingly—says that his favorite class in school is his physical

education class. He enjoys the fun and the ability to play different sports while getting exercise and making friends in class. His fondest memories as a Mineola Mustang athlete include the basketball program’s Reggie Carter Night, all of the teams wins last season and as a true sportsman and teammate, remembers his teammate Sean hitting a game-winning free throw against Valley Stream South. In the near term Dougherty looks forward to his prom and graduation, and hopefully playing baseball in the spring. He anticipates the last day of school and enjoying the summer

before starting college. Dougherty’s words of wisdom to up and coming Mustangs are to cherish and enjoy every moment, and to have fun while things last.

Anthony Bonetti

Anthony Bonetti is a senior member of the boys basketball team. As a team member, Bonetti has been a dedicated athlete that has contributed in many ways. As a hard worker in practice he has proven himself to be a great teammate and sportsman. He cites the experience as being part of the team respecting his coaches and

striving for a goal with his teammates as a memorable experience for him. Bonetti looks forward to starting his college career at Nassau Community College next year. His favorite subject has been English and he enjoys the company of all of his classmates. Bonetti is looking forward to making new friends in school and finding new and exciting hobbies. In the long term he plans to have a successful career in a job that he likes to do. His advice for future Mustangs is to “be yourself, work hard and to be outspoken…and to enjoy it all while you can.” —Submitted by Mineola High School

Garden City High School Independent East Senior Spotlight: Nominating Committee Giovanna Mascia Looking For Members

Mascia has stepped up to help those impacted by the pandemic. She has made a valuable difference, particularly in the community of Corona, Queens, which was hit hard by COVID-19 and job loss in 2020. Mascia volunteered at a food drive hosted by the New York Hall Of Science in November. When she learned of the event, she immediately wanted to get involved and help those in need during the holiday season. As she handed out turkeys and other food items and assisted with flu shots and COVID-19 test preparations, she was deeply touched and grateful for the things she had. Mascia saw firsthand how many families were facing hardships as she witnessed the long lines and helped the event run smoothly after the pantry spent months planning for it. Mascia’s school, community and family are proud of her for assisting others during such difficult times. Submissions are from staff, students, or parents. To nominate a GCHS senior, contact Assistant

In some cases, they state there’s been suspicious activity in your Apple iCloud account. In fact, they say your account may have been breached.

Garden City High School students were excited to see the signs as they arrived at school. (Contributed photo)

A Senior Surprise At Garden City HS Garden City High School seniors entered the building on Feb. 24 to find an uplifting surprise from their younger peers. They were greeted with congratulatory signs created by students from Stratford and Stewart schools. Throughout the hallways, encouraging words and illustrations celebrated members of the Class of 2021 as they prepare for graduation and promising futures. Elementary school classes designed decorative signs with positive statements such as “You’ve got this,” “Seniors rock,” “You did it,” and “Go seniors,” just to name a few. Many of the posters featured signatures, short messages and decorations from each student in the class.

Leigh Dowden and Terri King, teachers at Stratford and Stewart, respectively, organized the collaborative effort. After collecting the finished posters, they visited the high school after school on Feb. 23 and affixed them to lockers and walls throughout the hallways so that seniors would see them first thing the next morning. Parent Sandra Cooper, who proposed the idea for this initiative, provided the oak tag boards. The signs brightened the high school and helped foster a sense of connection throughout the district as students and staff members support one another during difficult times. —Submitted by Garden City Public Schools

Common Sense Party Candidate To Run For Village Trustee BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

nother candidate has thrown their hat into the ring for a seat on the Village of New Hyde Park’s Board of Trustees. New Hyde Park resident Bassam “Sam” Khoury, who is from the Common Sense Party, is hoping to make a change when it comes to village affairs by hoping to increase resident participation. Khoury is the son of immigrants, born and raised in Queens. He graduated from New York University’s Stern School of Business with a BS in Information Systems. He’s worked in Information Technology for the past 28 years with the past 16 years at JRI America—a division of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group. Over the course of his career, he’s managed dozens of people and successfully completed numerous information technology projects. His wife Chiqui, her mom and him moved to the Village of New Hyde Park in February 2016. He and his wife have a son, Christian. “I’m running for village trustee because I care about our community

and I want to help improve it,” he said. “I just love helping people in general. Being a village trustee will enable me to do a lot more for our community and its residents. Ever since I moved here I’ve regularly attended the village board meetings and I’ve been an active participant, asking questions and making suggestions, some of which have been used by the village board. I believe my combination of caring for the community, love of helping people and leadership experience will allow me to make a positive contribution to the board and the village.” If elected, Khoury would like to put policies in place to attract more small businesses to the village and also encourage more residents of the village and surrounding communities to patronize village businesses. “Over the past year small businesses have been decimated by the pandemic and unfortunately many of them didn’t survive,” he explained. “As we come out of the pandemic, I’d like the village board to put policies in place that encourage entrepreneurs to look at the village as a place where their

business should be located. One idea I had was to look at speeding up the approval process for new businesses through the use of technology if possible.” Khoury said he’d also like to encourage more residents to be regular participants in the village board meetings so they can help influence village policy. “I believe greater participation from the residents will help them view the board in a more positive light,” he said. “Since the meetings moved online last year, I’ve noticed increased participation since residents can attend them from the comfort of their homes. One of my goals is to make sure the online meetings continue after the pandemic is over, and to increase participation I’d like the village to send email and text message invitations for every board meeting and public hearing to all village residents who are subscribed to the SwiftReach / Swift 911 notification system.” This year’s village election is Tuesday, March 16 from 12 to 9 p.m. at Marcus Christ Hall located at 1420 Jericho Tpke.

Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 21 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

of yourself or anyone else. Yet, this week, lowered expectations will be a kind, generous and productive act. Good vibes, the sort that exist in the absence of pressure or fear, allow for better functioning people. The jobs get done without drama disrupting the flow. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In the gym of life, you’re currently running on the treadmill of obligation. It’s a hard thing to get off of without first sending a message to the machine to stop. In fact, if you don’t hit that pause button, you could get hurt. It doesn’t have to be a big explanation or drama. Be clear and direct, and then simply step down.

INTERNATIONAL WORD WORD FIND FIND INTERNATIONAL Getting creative WORD FIND 21 Letters Solution:

Getting creative Solution: 21 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Every difficulty has an advantage. Often it must be discovered or more aptly rediscovered. The truth about the advantage is unpreferred and buried deep in the subconscious with an agenda to remain hidden, so things can continue the same way. This week, “the same way” is no longer what you want. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Much of what we deal with is handed to us - a biological, social or circumstantial inheritance that, once discovered, seems to belong to our very identity. Does it really? That’s the golden question now. Where are your points of leverage? Which limitations are real, and which are imagined? What are you free to do?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re not into getting ego gratification or validation this week. You crave the satisfaction that only work can bring. You’ll learn by doing. Sensory input is your textbook, mistakes are your professors. You’re a quick study. There’s no certificate in the end, only a paycheck, which is so much more useful. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The dog whines, gets a treat and becomes habituated to whine for treats. Animal psychology dictates that any behavior that’s reinforced will continue. Try to understand the rewards your inner animal craves so that you can supply them consciously instead of being caught off guard and inconvenienced by them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though you’ve a mature understanding of cause and effect, you’ll be baffled by the logic-defying scenarios you come across this week nonetheless. Just know that there’s not a thing on the entire earth that moves alone. For every action, a reaction occurs, detected or not. On this you can, and should, bet. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just as children progress through different stages of awareness as they mature, there’s a sequence of initiation that comes with any new role. You’re going through the early stages in a project or relationship, and priorities will shift as you go. Remain somewhat flexible if you can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll adapt to meet the demands of a situation and probably assume this is just what everybody does. Yes, everyone adapts, many in the same way. However, few, if any, do so in your particular way, which has its own kind of genius. Later, believe it or not, you’ll want to share this. So take pictures and notes as you go. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Usually, it takes two people to create a relationship, though one-sided relationships can occur inside the minds of the very imaginative. It’s the sort of dynamic struck by a fan who loves a celebrity, and can also happen in any sort of worshipful context. You’ll experience a healthy and inspiring version of it this week.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

After a carefree 10 weeks, you’ll welcome a season of new responsibilities. You’ll be given a title, an acknowledgment of your arrival and a symbol of the trust you’ve worked so hard to earn. Duties will change your schedule and color your world. The status you gain will attract interesting characters. Many will want to be close to you, and you’ll do well to remain extremely choosey. The windfall comes in July. In September, you’ll witness wonders and widely share your experience. COPYRIGHT 2021 CREATORS.COM
