Disposal Company’s Report Reveals Daunting Challenges For Future LI Waste Management

editors@antonmediagroup.com

For most of us, garbage seems to “go away”. It is easy to forget about one’s trash the moment it is scooped off the driveway each month. However, the Long Islander’s ability to do so is quickly dwindling, and might soon be gone entirely.

Winter Bros. Waste System, a West Babylon company, recently released a report on the solid waste crisis facing Long Island. The report was prepared using information from several sources, including the Long Island Solid Waste Leadership Council, Long Island Regional Planning Council, US Census Bureau, and the New York Climate Action Council, among others. The goal of this report is to encourage action to address the serious environmental, public health, and economic issues which have stemmed from an abundance of solid waste on Long Island.

The report prefaces with three critical points: 1) That Long Island’s 2.9 million residents produce more than 14 million pounds of municipal solid waste each day, 2) That another 29.1 million pounds of Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste are produced each day, and 3) that the Brookhaven Landfill—which buries incinerator ash, C&D waste, and automobile shredder waste—is expected to close in 2024. Despite an increase in recycling efforts, the volume of produced waste is increasing yearly.

The shutting down of landfills forces companies to ship waste further away, which both increases costs and encourages illegal dumping to save time and money. Furthermore, the report confirms that “once the Brookhaven Landfill closes, transportation and logistical challenges will arise across Long Island. The challenges will affect all residents, businesses, builders, and municipalities in Nassau and Suffolk counties, including two cities, 13 towns and 96 villages.” Challenges include an increased cost in waste management, congestion of major roads and highways by landfill trucks, and environmental changes such as increased air pollution. “Fortunately, there are solutions,” the report claims, “Unfortunately, the solutions are neither cheap, nor easy to implement.”

Defining the waste crisis:

Long Island is a defined – and small –space. This means that there is a low disposal capacity on the island itself, and off-island

disposal transportation is a necessary tool for waste management. This disposal ceiling exists for both municipal solid waste (MSW), consisting of the everyday items we use and then throw away, as well as construction and demolition debris (C&D). For the most part, MSW is already transported and disposed of off of Long Island. Between residential garbage and commercial trash, the report notes, thousands of tons a day of MSW are transported.

As for C&D, while the Brookhaven Landfill is in operation as well as 110 Sand in Melville, a significant amount is still transported off Long Island by both truck and rail. Currently, according to the report, the Brookhaven Landfill manages “about 1.2 million tons per year of waste materials including C&D, waste from vehicle shredding and scrap yards, and ash from incinerators.” Furthermore, “When the Brookhaven Landfill closes in 2024, approximately 60,000 trucks will be needed to haul the 1.2 million tons of waste that was going to the landfill.” Before this happens, Winters Bros. implores that “citizens, politicians, regulators, and industry officials must acknowledge the need for additional facilities to manage society’s waste in an environmentally sound manner.”

Better logistics and additional infrastructure:

There are currently three existing waste to rail operations on the Island. Two are operated by Winters Bros., in Farmingdale and Lindenhurst. The third is operated by OmniBrentwood in Brentwood; a recent operation which opened in October in 2022. The existing networks, according to the report, are not sufficient to handle the volume of waste that

will be displaced upon Brookhaven’s closing. Therefore, it is crucial to develop additional infrastructure, including enhancements to freight rail transportation systems.

There are three other rail projects currently in development: in Medford, Yaphank and Smithtown. Still, there is a need for a substantial increase in the capacity of waste transportation from Long Island. The report promotes rail transportation as “more sustainable with significantly less environmental impacts when compared to truck transportation.” In December of 2022, New York State’s Climate Action Council supported the wider utilization and expansion of transportation of freight via rail, stating that the “state should work with federal partners to improve the reliability of intercity passenger rail service and strengthen the freight rail system. These improvements will provide New Yorkers with additional low-carbon options for longer-distance travel and improve the environmental sustainability of the goods movement system.”

How to address the crisis:

The report presents 14 recommendations that Winters Bros. believes will help address the waste crisis. These recommendations occur at all stages of waste-development, and offer a communal, collective approach to solving waste abundance. One suggestion is to reduce waste at the point of generation. “Beyond recycle and reuse, zero waste focuses on responsible production, consumption, reuse and recovery of all products, packaging and materials, without burning them, and without discharges to land, water, or air that threaten the environment or public health.”

They do note that this goal is not an easy one

to achieve, though they believe this should not be discouraging. “It is clearly an ideal, and not a ‘hard’ target, but one that Long Island should aspire to reach, nonetheless.” Another recommendation is to advance environmental justice. “Environmental justice issues are real, and the fair and meaningful treatment of all people—regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, income, national origin, or education level—is paramount.” The report goes on to encourage public involvement in environmental concerns. “The public has a right to participate in public decisions and actions that have an impact on their environment, communities, and neighborhoods. Fair and equal access to a safe and healthy environment is a basic human right… There needs to be engagement with communities on ALL major projects and substantive conversations with community members and stakeholders.” Winters Bros. has their own environmental justice policy (included at the conclusion of the report), and encourages other institutions to adapt their own.

Regardless of which actions are taken, urgency is of the utmost importance. Jimmy Winters, owner of WBWS, implores Long Islanders to take heed. “Long Island is the place where we have not only chosen to grow our business, but also to raise our families. As professionals in the field, we are truly distressed about the state of waste on Long Island. As a region, we are at a crossroads with regards to the management of society’s waste. There is no time to wait. We must act now.”

Waste is collected from homes and businesses across Long Island. Per capita waste regeneration rates are 4.9 pounds of waste per person per day. (Contributed photos)

Legislator Nicolello Announces Retirement

ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF

editors@antonmediagroup.com

In early March, Legislator Richard Nicolello, Presiding Officer of the Nassau County Legislature, announced his retirement from the county legislature after nearly two decades of service.

Legislator Nicolello distributed the following statement to community members and press in Nassau County on March 7:

Dear Neighbor,

I am announcing today that I am not seeking reelection to the Nassau County Legislature. It has been a great honor to represent the residents of the 9th legislative district since the inception of the Legislature in 1996, and to serve as presiding officer since 2018.

It has been my privilege to work with so many extraordinary public servants as well as Long Island and community leaders who are dedicated to preserving our suburban quality of life and protecting our communities. I extend a heartful thank you to the voters of the 9th legislative district for electing me to this position 14 times.

Through my years of service, I have made an incredible number of friends in government, politics and the communities I represent, all of whom have enriched my life. I especially want to thank our hard-working staff here at the Legislature for their continuing work on behalf of the county and its residents.

Most of all, I thank my family – my wife Susan and children Patrick and Kathleenfor the sacrifices they made so that I could serve these many years.

Nassau County government is in the best financial shape since the Legislature began in 1996. The county has run surpluses the last several years and has received bond rating upgrades. We have made real progress in addressing chronic fiscal problems that have plagued the county for generations and have created reserves to stabilize county finances for years to come.

Our county is filled with incredibly talented people from all backgrounds working to make a difference in our neighborhoods, county and region. Along with our leaders in county and local government, there are many who are ready to step forward and help lead our county to even greater heights. I am confident that Nassau County will be in good hands going forward.

Thank you.

Legislator Rich Nicolello Presiding Officer Nassau County Legislature

He began his administrative career in Sewanhaka Central High School District as the administrative assistant to the superintendent and director of personnel. From 1993-2000, he was the principal of H. Frank Carey High School.

“I have carried the lessons I learned in the Sewanhaka district with me throughout my career and have maintained a professional and personal relationship with many there,” Dr. Dolan said. “I am honored and excited to be given a chance to serve all of the communities that make up the district.”

Dr. Dolan will serve the district until an extensive search can be conducted to appoint the next permanent superintendent of schools.

Long Island Cannabis Conversations

Part II: Exploring the island’s Indigenous roots and futures

JANET BURNS

jburns@antonmediagroup.com

Our last installment of “Long Island Cannabis Conversations” left off in the island’s East end, where European colonists who grew hemp for sails and rigging left their mark behind with the name ‘Hamptons.’

For this installment, we return to Eastern Long Island and Southampton, where members of the Shinnecock nation will soon open the first medical and adult-use dispensary in New York State, Little Beach Harvest, on Shinnecock tribal land (where, incidentally, the tribe also previously spent years working to develop a casino, only to have other parties swoop into the region very recently to steal their playbook, reports Patch).

In late January, Anton Media Group spoke to Little Beach Harvest Managing Director Chenae Bullock about her background in cannabis, how construction is coming along, the history and modernity of jurisdictional law, and what she’d like to see in this industry going forward.

Background and work in cannabis

“In this American life, unfortunately, it’s not big to teach kids at a young age about cannabis being a medicinal plant. So it was when I was in college that I started learning about the hardships that people are going through, and have been going through.

In high school, you’re taught that it’s bad, that people smoke it, things like that. In college I started studying it a lot more, including the background and history of it in this country, really around the ‘War on Drugs.’ That sparked my interest to advocate for it.”

“As far as involvement [in cannabis and] stepping into the role I’m in now, that began at the end of 2019, when my tribe had an opportunity for a tribal citizen to become the new managing director for our tribe startup cannabis business, Little Beach Harvest.”

“A large part of my role right now is overseeing the construction side of the business, and everybody is getting ready to

see that beautiful rendering come to life. So it’s a really exciting time.”

“On the operations side, we are getting ready to do more of the educational, career-oriented work; we have a mock job fair for tribal members coming up in two weeks, and we’ve been doing a lot of training and education over the winter. Our tribe has passed the adult-use program for our tribe, so applications for tribal members, as well as Little Beach Harvest, for adult-use licenses have been issued.”

In local history, jurisdiction is king

“When we think about tribes on Long Island, and governance, it’s all about jurisdiction, throughout history.”

“The United Colonies of New England included Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Haven, and Plymouth colonies, established in 1643. Establishing colonial presence on Long Island with governance, under a governor, didn’t really happen

until around 1664.”

“When all of the indigenous massacres happened [in the 1600s], the governance structure was different on Long Island on the colonial side because there wasn’t a colony. There was settlements of homes, and they still adhered to the king of England at the time. A gentleman named James Farrett, the Earl of Sterling, was the one who was selling off parts of the land. There were indians who made agreements with those who established

incorrectly: “the last of the Shinnecock Indians.” (Library of Congress, public domain) those settlements, but they didn’t govern what the natives did on their land.”

“For example, Canarsie is the tribe that is located in and around Brooklyn, the Rockaways. The Canarsie is essentially the tribe that historically was forced, and I will say forced, to sell their land for 24 strands of wampum beads; that’s the story people hear. Once they made that transaction, that land was no longer in the jurisdiction of the Canarsie.”

“If they were living on that land, and were growing [hemp], they were forced to do so under the jurisdiction of the [new] establishment in governance over that land.”

“Shinnecock has never been removed from our land, and we’ve never sold our land, therefore we can do what we need to under the jurisdiction of the Shinnecock Nation.”

“So, fast forward to 2023: the Shinnecock [Nation] does not need to be governed by the state to what we can and cannot do on our land, because those same jurisdiction aspects are still in place. New York State was not in place at that time, the United States was not in place at that time, and there wasn’t a governor in place until 1664. It wasn’t until those land parcels started being sold off, or stolen, that you could then enforce laws on a people that are living on the land of whatever colony or establishment.”

“We don’t have a lot of public lands in this region, and having these historical conversations can help us shape policies today. When you look at any kind of case studies, they comb back to old laws, using language from old cases and individual cases, whether they were tribal people or not.”

Restoring culture and prosperity in the East End

“What I would like to see is inclusion.”

“You have two or three jurisdictions: the State of New York, the Shinnecock Nation, and the Unkechaug, or Poospatuck, if you will, which is a state tribe, not a federal tribe, who has also historically never left their land. Then you have the Montauk community, who were essentially burned out of their land. They literally had their houses burned down to the last person,

almost, and were physically burned off of their land.”

“With that being said, here you have a tribe that is working with all types of diverse people in the industry: women-owned businesses, MSOs, minority-owned businesses, at every angle, from the environmental side to the construction side. I would like to see the local area support that and advocate for the challenges that are happening, because it provides jobs.”

“I don’t want to see interruptions in our businesses. Let’s say we wanted to wholesale from farmers in Long Island. New York State still has to agree to that because those farmers have a license, and it’s risky for them to do business in a separate jurisdiction.”

“This kind of business shouldn’t be interfered with, because it’s a win for Long Island, a win for the state, and a win for the Tribe.”

“I’d like to see that type of inclusion, not only just for farmers but for brands and other operators throughout the state who have already been supporting what we’ve got going on.”

Representation and regeneration

“I’d also like to see more inclusion of Native people in ‘social equity groups.’ When I show up in the room, I’m the only Native in the room. So I’d like to see those different associations and boards diversify by including someone from the local community where they are.”

“We see this in the arts, and in environmental spaces, but we never see it in commercial spaces.”

“Shinnecock has one of the well-known climate adaptation plans, and we are looked at as thought leaders when it comes to the environment. Whenever a whale washes up anywhere on Long Island or near New York City, Shinnecock is called immediately, because we have historical rights and access to whales based on a 1640 agreement with John Cooper (yes, as in Cooper Beach, the beach our kelp farmers don’t currently have access to).”

“The marine biologists, the art spaces, they all work with us, but we’re not in the business and economic conversations, the chambers of commerce, the economic advisory boards. We’re not. And that’s what continues the wealth gap.”

“We will be opening our doors in the next few months and welcoming people to come and build a relationship with the Nation. Come and learn about what we’ve got going on, but also invest in a Native community, and help bridge the wealth gap but also sustain this planet.”

“You’re not paying the same tax that you’re paying in New York State jurisdiction; in our jurisdiction, you’re paying a four percent community fee, which goes straight back to the Shinnecock community. That way we can pave our roads, add streetlights, and help families fix up their homes because they can’t get mortgages. When customers come in and purchase, that four percent makes a big difference.”

COLORECTAL CANCER IS SERIOUS. AND SO ARE WE.

ERASE Racism Supports Governor Hochul’s Proposed New York Housing Compact

Governor Kathy Hochul has recently proposed a statewide strategy to address New York’s housing crisis –known as the New York Housing Compact. It’s of such significance that ERASE Racism is issuing this formal statement on it.

The Governor’s proposed New York Housing Compact represents a courageous first step in tackling the core challenge of housing on Long Island and across New York. It proposes solutions that will benefit all Long Islanders by increasing housing options. It begins to address the needs of our most vulnerable populations, and it starts to tackle the exclusionary zoning that is at the heart of Long Island’s standing as one of the 10 most racially segregated regions in the nation.

More specifically, the New York Housing Compact calls for 800,000 new homes across the state over the next decade. It includes local participation requirements and incentives to achieve housing growth in every community so that every part of the State is a partner in solving this urgent crisis. (About 16% of the housing would be on Long Island.) Far too often, affordable housing has been placed in already overburdened Black and Latino communities. It is time for localities everywhere

to provide the range of housing, including affordable housing, needed.

It is important to note that, under the plan, if localities are unable to meet the specified goal, they can design a housing provision plan for a lesser percentage and receive an exemption from the state for up to six years to meet the goal. Municipalities that have already taken steps to increase housing can also receive credit for their previous or current work.

The New York Housing Compact also requires municipalities with MTA rail stations to locally rezone for minimum average density. When combined with other state aid, the plan provides for support for infrastructure needs such as wastewater treatment, groundwater protection, and other environmental improvements and protections.

The plan thereby offers welcome relief to parents, essential workers, young professionals, business owners, and seniors on Long Island where “a large majority of

Long Islanders say that they want more housing options, including affordable and environmentally sustainable choices.”

ERASE Racism acknowledges the localities on Long Island that have already taken steps to build affordable housing and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). But we also recognize that many localities spend more time seeking to maintain the exclusionary zoning that is at the heart of Long Island’s racial segregation – to the detriment of ALL of their community members. It was announced earlier this month, for instance, that two long-running housing discrimination cases against the Town of Oyster Bay will move forward. As Newsday reports, “New York State’s Division of Human Rights sued the town in 2015 alleging that policies that give preference to town residents in two housing programs violate state anti-discrimination laws.”

A lawsuit against the Town of Islip is also moving forward. It alleges racial

discrimination through land-use restrictions that prevent a proposed 58-unit apartment complex, including affordable and senior housing, from allowing rentals.

The proposed New York Housing Compact, as is the case inevitably with statewide proposals, does not represent everything ERASE Racism would have wanted. We would like to have seen more overt affordability mandates built into the plan, more specific infrastructure funding, a commitment that provisions will be made to use the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule (once finalized) to decrease segregation across Long Island, and more enforcement of laws that are already in place. We also know that progress begins with a first step, and this plan is an important and vital one that deserves our full support.

The lack of affordable housing on Long Island is an issue for seniors seeking to downsize and remain in their communities, essential workers unable to live where they work, and young professionals seeking to live on their own and build a life on Long Island, and low-income wage earners to describe just a few. As a result, as more jobs become available on Long Island, too many remain unfilled due to the lack of affordable housing.

Laura Harding, President, ERASE Racism

“The Cinema Arts Centre, which was originally the New Community Cinema, had its first program on Dec. 1, 1973,” said Dylan Skolnick, the co-director of the Cinema Arts Centre. “How it came about was the founders Vic Skolnick and Charlotte Sky [with their son Dylan Skolnick] moved from New York City to Huntington and it was a very different time. You had to picture there was very little opportunities to see movies. There was no home video, there was no cable TV, no internet, no streaming. The only ways to see movies was there was some

movie theaters near that played the new Hollywood films and there were a handful of TV channels.”

Coming from New York City, where there was a rich film culture where you could see new and old movies alike at local theaters, Vic Skolnick and Sky decided to take their frustration of not having their cinematic needs met and create their own theaters, inspired by the ones they used to attend in the city.

“They rented a dance studio, the New Circle Dance Studio, and borrowed a projector, a 16MM projector, and a movie from the library, and drew up some flyers by hand and had them copied, put them around,” Skolnick said. “People had to bring their own chairs. And people liked it. They started coming. It was only once or twice a week.”

With increasing popularity, and a request to add more showings, Vic Skolnick and Sky had to find a permanent home for their movie showings. First, they moved to an old firehouse in Huntington, which is now the Classic Galleries Furniture Store, and they set up their first movie-showing space. Eventually, they

ended up showing movies seven days a week.

“That went on for several years at that location,” Skolnick said. “It was on the second floor there... Then there were issues that meant we had to relocate. And for assorted reasons, the Town of Huntington wanted to help us find a new home for the cinema, and this location here, 423 Park Avenue, is a former elementary school.”

The town had originally purchased that property, and before the Cinema Arts Centre took it over it had been a place

where teenagers enjoyed vandalizing.

“That was the late ‘70s and we’ve been here ever since. We’ve done a lot of work on the place; renovations, expansion,” Skolnick said. “Now we have state of the art projectors and theater seats, and the building is very active now. The town makes use of the rest of the building.”

The Cinema Arts Centre is Long Island’s leading arthouse cinema, as it shows a variety of films from King Kong (1933) and American Psycho to The Room, a cult classic that has been dubbed “the worst movie ever made.”

And the Cinema Arts Centre means so much more to customers than just going and seeing a movie. It’s a communal experience where people can hang out in the cafe that’s there. The Cinema Arts Centre also holds a lot of special events where discussion is encouraged.

“Our mission is to bring the best of new, old, American, international [films] to our audience and using those films to bring people together,” Skolnick said. For more information about the Cinema Art Centre, and to see movie times, visit cinemaartscentre.org.

SANTOS WATCH

A Fish, A Yacht, Two Rallies, And Brazil

Acknowledging some of Santos’ most mind-bending recent headlines

jburns@antonmediagroup.com

Rounding up the latest news in the cinematic universe of Representative George Santos brings to mind the Terry Gilliam-directed 1985 film Brazil in a few different ways, not just because of the alleged credit-card thing (see below).

For one thing, there’s main character Sam Lowry, a lowly employee of the Ministry of Information, who spends half the film fantasizing about a better life in glorious display, only to end up under complete scrutiny by the powers that be (if somewhat more sympathetically than Santos has).

There’s also renegade

At some point in our relationships, we are bound to make a mistake. Being able to own the mistake and express remorse is important, as is validating our partner’s feelings. Researchers Peter Kim, Donald Ferrin, Cecily Cooper, and Kurk Dirks (2004) note that while apologizing acknowledges guilt, it also expresses regret and the desire to avoid making the same mistake in the future. This in turn can improve trust between partners.

Not only is acknowledging what you did important, but so is the way in which you do it. It is important to avoid ifs, thats, and buts when saying sorry.

Take for example Clara and Joe. Clara recently snapped at Joe when she realized that he forgot to unload the dishwasher. While it is okay to express to Joe that she wanted him to help around the house in ways that he had promised, the manner in which

repairman Archibald “Harry” Tuttle’s famous line, “I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there’s trouble, a man alone.”

And then there’s all the stuff about disinformation, misinformation, hand-warped identities, the inestimable power of wealth, and the ever-evolving status quo.

Overall, both are a colorful,

cameo-filled plummet into an intentionally dizzying series of experiences, finally leaving you with a gut-sinking sense that it’s too late, the antagonists have won, and all you can do is close your eyes and dream. In my case, at least, only one of the two is a trip I’d care to take again.

Some Recent Highlights:

• In mid March, The New York Times reported that Rep. Santos reportedly helped broker a deal, with commission, on a $19-million yacht this past winter for a donor.

• Over roughly a month in late winter, local activists hosted a “Drive Out Santos” car caravan and rally and a “Drag Out Santos” rally with drag performers outside the

c. I’m sorry if that upset you.

d. I’m sorry and I will be more conscious of my tone from now on.

Which is the best way for Clara to say she’s sorry? If you guessed D, you are correct! Let’s examine why.

she communicated her frustration was hurtful. Not wanting to hold anything in, Joe explained to her that her tone was harsh and that it upset him. Clara realized right away what she had done and wanted to express regret for her delivery. Below are four statements that she could use when saying sorry to Joe.

a. I’m sorry, but you forgot to unload the dishwasher.

b. I’m sorry that you feel that way.

Statement A turns the apology around and makes it about Joe’s action (or lack thereof), rather than about the tone that Clara used.

Statements B and C are placing the blame on Joe for the way in which he perceived what Clara said. If Clara were to use either of these statements, she is not acknowledging that in fact she did make a mistake.

Statement D is the most helpful. If Clara were to apologize in this way, she is taking ownership of the way in which she communicated with Joe.

When expressing remorse, it is important to acknowledge your partner’s feelings, own what it is

that you are sorry for, and clearly state your apology. It is also important to make eye contact with your partner so that you can connect. Additionally, you must be open to engaging in conversation about what it was that transpired. Your partner may want to discuss the incident to be sure that you understand the impact of it on them. Leave time to have to have that conversation and avoid getting defensive. We are human and all make mistakes. It is what we do after these mistakes, and the way in which we express our remorse, that makes all the difference.

Forty Days To Go COLUMNS

Did you ever notice how many times the number “forty” shows up in the Bible? It rained forty days and forty nights at the time of Noah’s flood. The people of Israel wandered for forty years in the desert. Moses stays on the mountain for forty days. The prophet Elijah went forty days without food and water. And in the New Testament, Jesus too fasts for forty days.

One meaning of this number is “the right amount of time.” It took the right amount of time to have a flood, it was a whole generation that passed on the way to the promised land, the time needed for Moses to receive the commandments was just the right amount of time. So when Christians say that Lent – a time of spiritual purification and enlightenment – lasts for forty days, it really doesn’t bother most folks that Lent isn’t literally forty days. It’s just the right amount of time to grow spiritually in certain ways.

By the time you read this we’re well into the season of Lent and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to reflect on whether we’re “on schedule” or not. Some people will smile broadly at this point because they have kept to their resolutions to pray more, to fast from something, to give alms or do good works. Others perhaps missed the mark -- a day or two, or a week or two, into the season. Their temptation is to consider themselves as failures and to give up. “Why bother if I can’t stick to my intentions?”

The good news is that it isn’t over til it’s over. Each day we breathe in a new morning is a new chance to try again. Been slipping up on prayer? Do you think God frowns on this? Or rather won’t God’s longing for a renewed relationship yield to so much more joy the day we listen to God in prayer again. For some, chocolate or soda or pot or swearing may have re-entered daily

• According to Politico, Brazilian citizen and resident Gustavo Ribeiro Trelha recently told the FBI by express mail and email, “I am coming forward today to declare that the person in charge of the crime of credit card fraud when I was arrested was George Santos /Anthony Devolder.”

• As Gothamist reported in mid March, based on audio tapes, “In the summer of 2014, eight years before his election to the U.S. House of Representatives, George Santos was in Queens Housing Court, begging a judge to let him feed his pet fish.”

• On March 13, Rep. Santos put out the following at least partially ironic press release (printed here unedited):

WASHINGTON, DC: Today, Rep. George Santos NY-03 introduced the “Executive Mental Competency Protection Act of 2023.” The bill will require that the sitting President of the United States must undergo an annual cognitive evaluation, no later

life – even though we thought we could live without it for “the right amount of time”. Is that a reason not to try again? Or maybe in these remaining days it might be good to fast from something else instead – too much internet time, too much alcohol, too much gossiping. I believe some successful fasting is awaiting each of us.

And what of almsgiving? Perhaps the price of eggs might keep us from sharing some of our funds with others. Yet those in need must pay for eggs too. We can justify our holding on to what we’ve earned for any number of reasons. Yet the Lenten call to go beyond being rooted in material things can actually be freeing! If Amazon visits so frequently that we can’t even guess what we’ve ordered, maybe we have just fooled ourselves in believing that we need all the money we have. Supporting a trusted charity can start now, even if charity had eluded us in the past.

Take courage. We still have “forty days” to go.

“Regardless of political affiliation, this should be a common sense and bipartisan agreement that when a man or a woman becomes President, they submit to an annual cognitive evaluation,” said Rep. Santos. “Physical examination results are publicly released throughout their time in office, and a thorough cognitive assessment should also be included, and failure to comply will result in no federal funds being obligated or expended for official travel.”

Requirements include an assessment of the following:

• General intellect.

• Reading & Comprehension.

• Attention & Concentration.

• Processing speed.

• Learning & memory.

• Reasoning.

• Executive functions.

• Visuospatial skills.

• Motor speed & dexterity.

Stranger Sings Keeps Getting Stranger

chinko@antonmediagroup.com

Occasionally we are lucky to cross paths with cast and crew in Broadway and Off-Broadway productions who have significant ties to Long Island. In the case of Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical, an Off-Broadway show, which has just been extended through the end of April, we were fortunate to meet not only one of these people but two. Kaitlyn Meriam of Farmingdale and Alex Dash of Jericho are holding down the stage management of this lively creation by Jonathan Hogue that is packed with talent.

Dash, the production stage manager, is super excited to be a part of this incredible team in the Upside Down. He most recently was the assistant stage manager for the Emojiland (national tour).

Meriam, the assistant stage manager, is currently making her Off-Broadway debut in this musical. She is also currently stage managing her fifth production with Argyle Children’s Theatre in Babylon. Meriam earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in theatre production and design with a concentration in stage management from LIU Post in 2020.

Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical is the hit Off-Broadway musical that brings everyone’s

favorite streaming series to hilariously-twisted life on stage. With book, music and lyrics by Jonathan Hogue, Stranger Sings! is a wild and irreverent sendup of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things and all its campy ’80s glory.

Take a trip back to Hawkins, Indiana, 1983: when times were simpler, hair was bigger, and unsupervised children were getting snatched by inter-dimensional creatures. Join Mike, Eleven, Lucas, Dustin, and the whole Hawkins gang for a night of adventure, thrills, pubescent angst, heavy synth, poor parenting, convoluted love triangles, cheap effects, dancing monsters, and maybe, just maybe... justice for everyone’s favorite missing ginger, Barb Holland.

“Stranger things are indeed happening at Playhouse 46,” said Hogue. “After the overwhelming response from fans, we extended our initial 16-week engagement through the winter. But the fans just keep coming and coming back for more, so we are delighted to keep the portal open through April 30 to laugh and party along with our favorite Hawkins crew. Justice For Barb will carry on into the springtime.”

Stranger Sings! currently features Nickolaus Colon as Hopper and

Kyle Mangold as Steve/ Jonathan joining original cast members Jamir Brown as Lucas, Jeremiah Garcia as Dustin, Caroline Huerta as Joyce/Will, Jeffrey Laughrun as Mike, Harley Seger as Eleven / Nancy, SLee as Barb, and swings Jean Christian Barry, Dashiell Gregory and Hannah Clarke Levine. The creative team includes direction by Nick Flatto, choreography by Ashley Marinelli, musical supervision, arrangements & orchestrations by Michael Kaish, a scenic design by Drama Desk and Lucille Lortel Award nominee Walt Spangler, costume design by Matthew Solomon, lighting design by Drama Desk nominee Jamie Roderick, sound design by Germán Martínez & Cosette Pin, puppet design by Matt Anderson, and props by Brendan McCann. Dash is production stage manager, and Merriam and Lara Sato are assistant stage managers. Casting

is by Zachary Spiegel, CSA; general management by Visceral Entertainment, advertising & marketing by Leanne Schanzer Promotions, digital marketing by Super Awesome Friends, and the production counsel is Lee Adhemar G. Feldshon, Esq. of Feldshon Law, PLLC.

Stranger Sings! is produced by Sue Gilad, Larry Rogowsky, Nick Flatto and Jonathan Hogue. Co-producers include Catherine Schreiber, Bard Theatricals, Miranda Farag, Inbal and Ron Gonen, Xin Wen, Jason Turchin and Jim Kierstead. Joseph Longthorne is an associate producer.

Following its world premiere at Feinstein’s/54 Below in 2018, Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical launched a hit Off-Broadway run at The Players Theatre in Summer 2021, winning seven 2021 BroadwayWorld Off-Broadway Awards including ‘Best New Musical.’ In addition to the

LONG ISLAND WINS!

Off-Broadway production, Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical recently launched all-new productions in London, within a maze of disused railway arches underneath Waterloo Station; and Australia, bringing the The Upside Down to Down Under.

The Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording of Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical, is now available on Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, and all major platforms. Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical plays through April 30, 2023, at Playhouse 46 at St. Luke’s (308 W. 46th Street). Tickets are $49 to $99 for all performances. A limited amount of VIP Bean Bag chairs are available for $149. All prices included $1.50 facility fee. Weekly performance schedules vary.

Bike And Sewing Machine Collection May 13

It’s time to put those old bicycles and sewing machines to good use. On Saturday, May 13, (rain or shine) from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Long Island will hold their annual used bicycle and sewing machine collection in the parking lot of South Huntington Public Library (145 Pidgeon Hill Rd., Huntington Station). The items collected will then be reconditioned by the international non-profit Pedals for Progress (P4P) and sent to Belize.

The mission of P4P is to foster sustainable economic development by recycling bicycles and sewing machines from the U.S. and shipping them to motivated people in the developing world. For many in the US, Belize is seen as an ideal vacation destination but beyond the beaches lies tremendous poverty. Approximately 50 percent of Belize’s population is children and youth below the age of 19. A large percentage of this population is concentrated in the urban ghettos of the southside of Belize City, specifically in the Port Loyola area. Many of these children live in poverty and are exposed to violence, crime, and civil unrest.

This is the 19th bike/sewing machine collection organized by Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Long Island. To date, RPCVLI has collected 1707 bicycles and 282 sewing machines that have been distributed to Rwanda, Tanzania, Togo, Guatemala, Albania and Kosovo. amongst others.

see this project as a way of continuing our commitment to support programs in developing countries,” said Kathy WilliamsGing of Huntington Station, who was a Peace Corps volunteer in Peru and is co-coordinator of this year’s collection.

Anyone with an adult or child’s bicycle in repairable condition or a working portable sewing machine is urged to donate the item. Since it costs $40 to collect, process, ship, rebuild and distribute each bicycle, a donation toward shipping costs is necessary (suggested minimum $20 per item). All cash and material donations are fully deductible and a receipt will be provided on site. The program does not accept “bikes for parts,” disassembled bikes or tricycles.

Following high school, Agunzo has committed to play for Saint Leo University.

The Levittown basketball scene has been rocked by Division Avenue High School player Olivia Agunzo. Wrapping up her Senior year – and final season – Olivia has paved an impressive career as a high school basketball star.

Agunzo has had an interest in sports since childhood, but basketball quickly became special. “I’ve always played sports really. But my brother actually

got me into basketball, because he loved it so much. He really just showed me the way throughout my life. I played lots of sports for fun when I was younger, but nothing as seriously as basketball.”

Her high school experience with the sport has been fun and positive, with several notable highlights. During her freshman year, she earned all-county honors. Her team, the Blue Dragons, also won conference that year. Her senior year was marked by triumphs, as Agunzo scored her 1,000th career point in a game against North Shore back in December. She also achieved the honor of Conference Player of the Year as the season wrapped up.

Agunzo really enjoyed working with her team this year. “The team was great. We were young but had a blast all year. We’re all hard workers. The practices were great, we played hard in the game no matter what. Shots weren’t always landing but we played hard no matter what.” The team was unique in that part of the season

featured four Sophomores starting with Olivia, and another part of the season featured three Sophomores and one Junior. Most of the team was underclassmen, but this did not stop the fond – and competitive – bond that formed between them all. “It was definitely a little competitive, but it made everything better,” Agunzo said. “We made each other better. Our bond was amazing, and I had a blast all year, and I hope they can say the same. It was really fun to compete with them on the court.”

So, what is next for this phenom of the court? Agunzo has committed to play for

Saint Leo University in Florida, a Division 2 program. The senior is most looking forward to the challenge of college ball, and is ready to push herself in college to continue her legacy of achievement. “I’d definitely love to win the championships at Saint Leo, maybe become an all-American. Just continue to enjoy myself and have fun on the court.”

Agunzo has followed some pertinent advice which has helped keep her head up during a challenging season.

HOROSCOPES

By Holiday Mathis

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have pleted the puzzle, there will be 17 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You want what another person has, but you wouldn’t give up being you to get it. You’ll give up envy and gain energy, plus the knowledge that your goals can and will be accomplished in your own way, and in your own time. You will love them all the more and know they are enough for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). ere are those who see each insect as a pest and others who see each insect as magni cent and weird. You’re able to swing from one mind to the other on this and any issue. You can appreciate things for what they are, but your perception and reaction shifts radically once a thing invades your territory.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some truths have to be sni ed out, dug for, quested, but not the truth you discover this week. It’s right in front of you, and you don’t even have to be very aware to notice it. If you miss it the rst time, you’ll trip over it the next. It wants to be known by you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It occurs to you that you have it pretty good. Sure, you could think of 10 ways right o the top of your head to have it better. But with your poetic perspective, you’ll see how the banged-up parts of life, relationships and your material surroundings are quite worth cherishing for their beautiful imperfections.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t prefer to work under pressure, and yet you can’t help but notice how good you are at it this week. ings get done quickly, not despite the stress but because of it. Furthermore, you’re able to wrangle amazing deals because a quick buck is appealing to all.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). e work is fascinating and it goes quickly this week, especially the work you’re not exactly supposed to be doing. But you’ll get it all nished -- the side projects as well as that which you’re duty-bound to -- and make friends in the process. People admire your fairness and you’ll be called on to mediate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). e trick to getting the important things handled is super simple: Schedule them and stick to the schedule. You won’t want to do the thing when it comes up on the calendar. Do it anyway. ere are uncontrollable things happening to and because of us. ere are storms inside us that ripple out, and events miles away that resonate at our core. It’s a day to respect the wilderness and control what we can.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Balance requires wisdom. When you are in the heat of a di cult part of life, you counteract the stress by going easy on yourself in your downtime and prioritizing your own comfort and care.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

Date: 3/22/23

By Steve Becker

The Root of knowledge

contract — “slightly optimistic,” Root observes — seems hopeless, since South apparently must lose a heart trick and a trump trick. But declarer can prevail with careful play.

After taking the opening club lead with the ace, South leads the jack of spades from dummy. This is done, Root points out, in the hope of inducing a napping East to cover the jack with the queen or king from a holding of Q-4 or K-4, in which case declarer’s trump loser will disappear.

In the actual case, this bit of practical advice does not pan out after East’s queen is taken by the ace and the king does not appear. But South still has another string to his bow — an elimination play.

There was probably no betterknown bridge teacher than Bill Root. For nearly five decades, he taught the game in schools and private clubs in New York and Florida as well as on the high seas, consistently attracting upward of 100 eager participants to each session.

Prior to his death in 2002, several of Root’s lectures were recorded for home viewing and may still be available from bridge supply houses.

Today’s deal is from Root’s taped lecture on endplays. The six-spade

At trick three, he leads a diamond to dummy, then ruffs a club and cashes the A-J of diamonds. (Alternatively, he can also cash the K-A-J of diamonds and discard dummy’s club.) Now comes the key play: declarer cashes the A-K of hearts before exiting with a spade.

As South had hoped, the defender with the king of spades — West in this case — started with only two hearts and so is forced to return a diamond or a club. This allows declarer to discard his heart loser as he trumps in dummy, and the slam is home.

Tomorrow: Test your play.

Westbury Middle School Temporarily Remote After Fire

JANET BURNS

jburns@antonmediagroup.com

Students and staff at Westbury Middle School went remote last week after an early-morning fire in the school’s basement.

No injuries were reported from the fire, which broke out shortly after 3:00 a.m. on Monday, March 13.

The fire caused smoke and water damage

at the school, located on Rockland Street in Westbury.

According to school officials, the basement fire also caused electrical problems that led to parts of the school being without power.

The Nassau County Fire Marshal’s office said that the fire alarm went off at 2:50 a.m. on March 13, summoning a total of six fire departments and approximately 55 firefighters to put out the blaze. The fire started in a basement utility room and was contained to that room, but smoke damage was extensive in the school’s basement. The

Arrest For Attempted Murder In New Hyde Park

Third Squad detectives report the arrest of a New Hyde Park man for attempted aurder that occurred on Tuesday, March 7, 2023, at 8:20 pm in New Hyde Park.

According to detectives, officers responded to a New Hyde Park residence for a 911 call regarding a disturbance. Upon arrival, officers located a female victim, 73, lying on the floor in substantial pain. The investigation revealed a domestic disturbance between the victim and defendant Glen Davis, 75, who pushed the victim down the stairs causing multiple injuries. He then reportedly followed her down the stairs,

striking her at times using a candle holder. Davis then allegedly attempted to strangle the victim until she was able to fight him off and notify police.

The victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment and evaluation. Defendant Glen Davis was also transported to an area hospital, and subsequently charged, when medically appropriate, with second-degree murder (attempted) and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

HARVARD CLUB HONORS DR. MEREDITH FOLEY

The Harvard Club of Long Island has announced the dozen Long Island teachers who will receive the “Distinguished Teacher Award for 2023” at the Club’s upcoming award ceremony in March. This year, they are recognizing Garden City High School chemistry teacher Dr. Meredith Foley.

“This award honors teachers who transform lives,” explained Dr. Judith Esterquest, chair of the Distinguished Teacher Selection Committee. “Devoted teachers honored by these awards offer Long Island students their deep expertise, extraordinary talents, and countless hours of attention. By capturing the minds and imaginations of our children and preparing them for challenges that were unknown even a few decades ago, these teachers shape the future of our country.”

Meredith Foley received a Ph.D. in chemistry from New York University in 2011. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from the University of Notre Dame. Meredith is the co-author of seven peer-reviewed journal articles. She has been teaching chemistry for 12 years at two universities and Garden City High School. In addition to her AP and Honors Chemistry courses, Meredith is a science research mentor for independent student projects and advises the Chemistry Club at Garden City High School.

“I feel honored to be selected by the Harvard Club of Long Island as a Distinguished Teacher for 2023,” said Dr. Meredith Foley. “The fact that this award was based on a nomination from a former student is particularly gratifying. I strive to give all of my students at Garden City High School the grounding they require to succeed in college and their later career. An award like this provides added incentive for me to continue my work.”

CARLE PLACE STUDENTS STUDY WATER POLLUTION

Carle Place fifth-graders from Rushmore Avenue School recently participated in a hands-on lesson about water pollution during their science rotation with Julie Tusa. The classes first spoke about the various forms of water pollution, from oil spills to plastic waste. In small groups of four to five students, they then experimented together to determine if water pollution could be reversed.

Mrs. Tusa provided each group with a bucket which she filled with water and different ingredients to pollute it. This included vegetable oil to represent an oil spill, food coloring to represent a chemical spill, string

to represent fish nets and more. Each team of students received a budget of $500 which they could use to “purchase” materials to remove the pollution and make their water clean enough for humans to use. Materials for purchase included filters, gloves, magnets, plastic cups, a strainer, tongs and more. The activity encouraged students to work together to brainstorm the most effective way to remove the pollution which they quickly learned can be a difficult task. The lesson was a great way to shine a light on the importance of protecting our waterways and environment.

Sands Youth Empowerment Initiative Hosts Carli Lloyd and David Beckham SPORTS

On March 11, Las Vegas

Sands hosted inspiring and legendary soccer stars Carli Lloyd and David Beckham as they met with Long Island soccer clubs and over 400 students aged 9-12 at Mitchel Field in Uniondale to share an empowering experience focused on teamwork, sportsmanship and fitness. The event was part of Sands Cares and its Sands Youth Empowerment Initiative here in New York. The initiative reflects a tradition and history of dedication and commitment to communities where Sands properties are developed.

“Sands has a long history of creating deep and meaningful partnerships with our host communities and developing programs that speak to their needs and

aspirations,” said Ron Reese, senior vice president of global communications and corporate affairs for Sands. “Bringing David Beckham and Carli Lloyd here to interact with some of Long Island’s community soccer clubs is the start of a longterm commitment to invest in the types of programs that benefit local residents and families.”

The event consisted of two sessions, each with approximately 200 children. Both Lloyd and Beckham shared opening remarks before the students broke out into teams of ten for drills. Beckham and Lloyd worked with coaches and students and also took photos with each group. Most of the soccer teams at the event were from Uniondale, Hempstead, Westbury, Garden

City, Carle Place and East Meadow.

David Beckham said: “I have always talked about the importance of grassroots football in empowering communities and bringing people together. It’s great to be here today with Carli and The Sands Youth Empowerment Initiative, working with these incredible students, young people and future football stars.”

Carli Lloyd said, “I love that soccer is a sport that brings people together and requires cooperation and teamwork from every person on the field. Being here today, with Long Island’s future soccer stars and Sands Youth Empowerment Initiative is an uplifting and inspiring experience.”

Hoops For Hope Is A Slam Dunk In Garden City

Garden City students, faculty and community members packed the stands for Garden City High School’s annual Hoops for Hope event. This year, Hoops for Hope featured an intrasquad basketball game with members of the Garden City High School and Garden City Middle School Challenger Basketball team.

The original event was organized by former Garden City High School student Tim O’Hanlon. Tim wanted to draw a bigger crowd to the school’s Challenger team and program while at the same time, pairing the game with a fundraiser for the I’m Not Done Yet Foundation. He thought pairing a Challenger team game with a fundraiser would bring in more fans for the Challenger student-athletes, while benefitting a good cause. This year’s event was organized by Tim’s brother, Michael O’Hanlon.

The I’m Not Done Yet Foundation is a program for adolescent and young adult cancer patients and survivors. I’m Not Done Yet was founded in memory of Bobby Menges, a member of Garden City High School’s Class of 2015, who lost his battle to cancer.

With hundreds of students in attendance, from the primary schools to the high school, as well as many community members, the

The Garden City kickline team gave a stellar performance.

game was a huge success. Outside the gymnasium, attendees could enter raffles and purchase delicious baked goods in support of the event. During half time, performances by Garden City’s kickline and cheer teams wooed the crowd and Challenger alumni athletes made special guest appearances.

Two Student Athletes Honored With Reggie Carter Award

Hoops for Hope brought the entire school community together, celebrating the Challenger team and the connectedness of the Garden City community.

Mineola Union Free School District is proud to recognize two high school student athletes with the Reggie Carter Award, named in honor of the former Mineola High School administrator who left an indelible mark on the Mineola community.

Mineola High School junior A.J. DeRose and senior Chloe Jean-Noel have been named the 2023 recipients of the award, which is presented annually to student athletes who exhibit outstanding leadership,

sportsmanship and work ethic on and off the field.

Reggie Carter, who passed away from a heart attack in 1999 while serving as assistant principal at Mineola High School, was a former basketball star at St. John’s University who played professionally with the New York Knicks prior to joining Mineola. He is remembered fondly for his empathetic spirit, humility and dedication to all learners.
