News Town Officials Thank Dejana Foundation For Funding COVID-19 Testing Site

orth Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth, councilmember Mariann Dalimonte and the town board recently thanked the Peter and Jeri Dejana Foundation for their generous donation in funding a COVID-19 testing site at the Port Washington Adult Activities Center. Dalimonte along with Town Clerk Wayne Wink presented a proclamation of recognition to Peter Dejana, president of the Peter and Jeri Dejana Foundation to thank them for a $1 million grant to sponsor the free COVID-19 testing site. “One of the best ways we can assist North Hempstead residents during the COVID-19 pandemic is by ensuring they have access to nearby testing facilities,” Bosworth said. “We are extremely appreciative of Northwell and the Dejana Foundation for partnering together to offer this free service to our residents.” “We are proud and grateful to have neighbors such as the Dejana Foundation and Northwell in our backyard,” Dalimonte said. “This

testing location served as a vital community resource and we are thankful to them for recognizing this need and helping our local residents.” The free COVID-19 testing site has

been operational since early January. The town made available its center, and Northwell Health provided the clinical guidance and staffing it required to accommodate as many

residents as possible. “Our foundation is here to help support the community’s needs, especially during this pandemic. I am pleased to know that this initiative has benefited thousands of people. Being able to offer residents a safe and reliable PCR testing facility was our goal, and we achieved it with Northwell at our side,” Peter Dejana said. The Peter and Jeri Dejana Foundation has been a generous donor to local and regional nonprofit organizations since 2012. The town recognized the Dejana Foundation for their commitment in supporting a diverse list of community-based groups, who in turn provide programs and services to a broad range of residents within the town. Peter Dejana accepted the town’s proclamation and said, “Thank you for this honor. This is what we do, we help people. And, we all did this together.” —Submitted by the Town of North Hempstead

AGATE Hosts Discussion On The News Purpose And Importance Of Gifted Education

GATE of Port Washington recently hosted its annual guest speaker. This year’s speaker was Dr. Elissa Brown, director of the Hunter College Center for Gifted Studies, who addressed “The Purpose and Importance of Gifted Education” for an audience that included local parents, Board of Education members, educators and administrators. The discussion was moderated by AGATE co-presidents Nanette Melkonian and Kim Keiserman, while AGATE board member Analia Quispe provided Spanish language interpretation through a free conference line. Brown devoted much of the presentation to challenging assumptions and stereotypes about giftedness and exploring what the scholarly research reveals about the personality and intellectual characteristics of gifted learners. In particular, she emphasized personality characteristics such as introversion, a keen sense of justice and a propensity to question authority, and intellectual characteristics such as a rapid learning rate, divergent thinking and a need for precision, logic and

of federal policy on gifted students, states are responsible for this area of education; but only four states have mandates to identify and serve gifted students along with the funding to fulfill these mandates. Twenty-five states have mandates to either identify or serve gifted students while ten have mandates to do both but no funding, and eight have no mandates or funding. New York is one of the eight, and as a result, gifted education varies widely from district to district: Only 17.4 percent of New York State’s school districts report offering some form of gifted programming and only 1.7 percent of New York’s students are identified and enrolled in gifted programs, compared to 6.7 percent of students nationally. Brown pointed out the irony of New York’s position because New York State law, section 4452, defines gifted pupils in terms that emphasize the necessity of specialized educational programs or services, stating that “the term ‘gifted pupils’ shall mean those pupils who show evidence of high performance capability and exceptional potential

stimulation. She stressed the importance of teacher training in recognizing these characteristics and responding to the behaviors and special needs that arise from them, noting that just because children are gifted doesn’t mean that they are exceptionally mature, able to excel in every area, able to work independently, able to cope with multiple stressors or able to make long-term goals. Brown provided an overview of the national landscape on gifted education, pointing out that there is no federal definition of giftedness, no federal mandate to meet the needs of gifted children and no federal funding for gifted programs. In the absence

in areas such as general intellectual ability, special academic aptitude and outstanding ability in visual and performing arts. Such definition shall include those pupils who require educational programs or services beyond those normally provided by the regular school in order to realize their full potential.” AGATE of Port Washington is a home-school association that works with parents, teachers, administrators and other organizations to advocate for the unique needs of diverse gifted students and other advanced learners from pre-kindergarten through graduation. AGATE’s board is grateful to Brown for leading such an informative and thought-provoking discussion and recommending resources for learning more about the purpose and importance of gifted education.

Over the next year, the PWPL will be continuing a major facilities preventive maintenance program that will refurbish the building’s façade and sections of the roof. The library

Adult Coloring Program At The Port Library “Keep calm and color on,” states the welcome message on the website for the Adult Coloring Program at the Port Washington Public Library (PWPL). An innovative new effort to combat loneliness, boredom, and isolation in the pandemic, the library is encouraging adults from all walks of life to sign up to be paired with a PWPL staff buddy and “color your cares away” with a collaborative art project. Participants are given the option for home delivery or curbside pick-up and receive a half-completed coloring page which typically includes a personalized note from the staff member who completed the other half of the work. Rachel Fox, Director of Children’s Services, who came up with the idea and had previously run the in-house coloring program pre-pandemic states, “It is a way of being together yet apart. One day we hope that our patrons and our staff who are participating will be able to meet each other and perhaps even host an exhibit in the community gallery.” During the sign-up process, patrons may select their preferred coloring page image (animals, geometric/ mandala, nature, words/quotes or

surprise) and level of difficulty (easy/ medium, challenging) as well as opt for a complimentary new pack of colored pencils.

Planning For The Future Garbarino has hand in proposed bipartisan small business succession legislation BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

ccording to a survey conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank, three out of every 10 small businesses in the U.S. say they likely won’t survive 2021 without additional government assistance during the pandemic. And while the amount of COVID-19 relief for the roughly 30 million small businesses in the United States is being debated in Congress along the usual ideological lines, four members of the House are making an effort to pass bipartisan legislation that would provide small business owners the support needed to create a business succession plan. The quartet is comprised of Republicans Andrew Garbarino (NY-02) and Tom Rice (SC07) and Democratic Representatives Cheri Bustos (IL-17) and Jason Crow (CO-06). According to Rice, of the nation’s 30 million small businesses, less than 42 percent have succession plans. Bustos added that almost half of small business owners over the age of 55 have no plan of succession, which she pointed out, is an alarming statistic, as small businesses employ roughly 25 million Americans. For Garbarino and Crow, who both come from families with small business backgrounds (both are attorneys from small law firms), this kind of legislation is crucial, given what small businesses represent to the communities they serve. “Small business is the backbone of our economy,” Garbarino said. “My district alone consists of 80 percent of my constituents working for a small business. I have downtowns all over my district—restaurants, stores—so many employees. As an assemblyman and a private practice attorney, one thing I saw with government is that they usually don’t help small businesses. They usually get in the way, whether it’s through more regulation or more red tape. That’s why I was so excited to jump on this bill. This actually helps small business.” Bustos echoed the overarching negative effect that ripples through a community when a small business shuts down, as evidenced by the closing of a dry cleaner in the small Illinois town of Aledo. “A small business closing can have a significant impact on the larger town or city where the business is located,” Bustos said. “Small businesses drive local economies and offer employment opportunities and services to other

Clockwise: Representatives Cheri Bustos, Andrew Garbarino, Jason Crow and Tom Rice during a recent Zoom call to discuss Small Business Succession legislation. (Photo courtesy of the office of Congressman Andrew Garbarino) businesses. [They also] build wealth for the community as a whole. With no succession plan in place for that Aledo business, residents now have to drive many miles for dry cleaning.” Crow also emphasized the importance of the succession legislation for first-generation immigrant businesses, which make up a considerable chunk of his district. “Nearly one in five of my constituents was born outside of the country,” Crow said. “Now these immigrants and refugees are extremely entrepreneurial. We have thousands of businesses in my community started by these folks. But there are also unique challenges faced by under-served communities in first-generation businesses in that succession—ensuring the passing of those businesses onto family and keeping that wealth they have worked so hard to build in their families and within our communities. But too many small businesses do not have a plan for succession, resulting in business closures or forced sales. Small business owners work hard and often spend their lives building their businesses. This bill is going to go a

long way toward making that easier.” Modest in size, the Small Business Succession Act enables the Small Business Administration (SBA) to set up workshops and provide guidance for small businesses to learn how to set up a succession plan. A pair of one-time $250 tax credits, one for creating a plan and one for executing it, are included to encourage small business owners to go forward and ensure their companies don’t fall to the wayside due to improper planning. It’s a scenario Rice saw happen before serving in Congress. “As a tax lawyer and CPA, I dealt with this a lot in my prior life,” Rice explained. “I have absolutely seen the need and the primary concern for owners to make sure to keep their business running and that their employees and customers are taken care of. Maybe they don’t always have the tools that they need or the foresight to deal with succession plans. Anything we can do to encourage that just helps the economy.” What did you think of this story? Share it with me at: dgilderubio @antonmediagroup.com

The Small Business Succession Planning Act would: • Direct the Small Business Administration (SBA) to create an online business succession planning toolkit that walk small businesses through the process of creating a business succession plan with the help of SBA or resource partners. It would also require the SBA to provide trained staff or partners to help small businesses create their plan; • Encourage the SBA to hold business succession planning workshops or events across the country; • Create a plan to increase business succession plans among small businesses, including among minority- owned businesses, through the SBA; • Incentivize small businesses owners to create their own plan through multiple tax breaks for businesses: • This includes a one-time $250 tax break to create a business succession plan and an additional one-time $250 tax break when the succession plan is executed. —Submitted by the office of Congressman Andrew Garbarino

LETTER TO THE EDITOR KNOW THE TRUE FACTS BEFORE YOU VOTE Petitions are in and village elections are set for March 16. In New Hyde Park the positions for mayor, village justice and two trustees are up for grab. This year, it’s exciting to see a few new parties established—The Unity Party, The Beautification Party and the Common Sense Party. I wish all the candidates the best. I am personally committed to help with a smooth transition and look forward to working with all the reelected and newly elected board members. What I do find disturbing during this election season is the negativity, false statements and accusations put out on social media about the current mayor and some of the board members that I sit with. I get that not everyone may agree on decisions, codes, etc., but to demonize members that have dedicated countless years and hours to serve their community is wrong and disrespectful. Despite what you may read on social media, every member that currently sits on the board has one primary purpose—to selflessly serve the community and make New Hyde Park a great place to live. No hidden agendas; no political aspirations; no personal gain. Niche.com confirms that we have achieved just that and lists New Hyde Park as a great place to live. It gives New Hyde Park an A+ rating with the median home price

up by 4 percent since 2019, completely contradictory to comments on other social media platforms. Granted, is there room for improvement? Always. Have mistakes been made? Yes. But when there were mistakes, corrective actions were taken. An example of this is the previously created Development Incentive Bonus Overlay District. Following the legal proceedings of the hearing, the board listened to the residents. The project was stopped, we took a step back, scrapped that development, took the community input and now will be stepping out to develop an overall master plan with intense input. What our voting residents need to understand are the real facts and accomplishments that have been achieved the past few years. These include: • Successful acquisition of a $75,000 grant for an emergency generator for the village hall • An excellent financial state rating on an external audit, with a surplus of $300,000 for fiscal year ending May 31, 2020. The best since 2011 • A financial cash reserve built up to $2,426,573 that will now help the village remain financially sound despite the COVID-19 shutdown • Awarded Tree City USA for three consecutive years based on the village’s Beautification and Tree Planting Landscaping program • Reconstruction of South

Will You Still Need Me, Will You Still Feed Me? As you age, birthdays ending in “5” or “0” are considered milestones. Of course, most of us likely over-celebrated 18 or 21 when becoming legal drinking age. Many women continue to celebrate 29 long into their 40’s. Milestone celebrations are expected for 30, 40 and 50. When your 60th rolls around, others want to celebrate more than you do. Your friends and family have one of two reactions when they learn you are turning 60. Either they are surprised you got there so quickly or they are only happy it’s not them. Naturally, those of us that are already 60 are ecstatic to welcome more members into our club. Many feel that after you turn 60, the next milestone is the magical retirement age of 65. That was true for our parents, but Baby Boomers know better. Our next milestone is 64, thanks to The Beatles. My generation has been singing along to “When I’m

Like the character in the song, McCartney didn’t know much about being 64 when it was released on the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album in 1967. As a matter of fact, it was one of the first songs he had ever written when he was just 16. Although his father turned 64 the year before the song was released, McCartney wouldn’t turn 64 until almost

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m 64? With the children grown and, for the most part, on their own, people our age sometimes wonder if they still have a purpose in life. The lyrics in the song are certainly legitimate questions for us now. I’ve been married to my lovely wife for almost 40 years. She has put up with many things during that time,

the wake of the pandemic, tennis is back at NSHAHS with tremendous excitement. On Feb. 22, NSHAHS hosted its Spring Kickoff, which involved outdoor laser tag, archery and a massive inflatable for “soccer kick.” Furthermore, North Shore is debuting its first-ever flag football leagues. Upon expressing interest, students can begin to form their teams, design jerseys and warm up for the fall. As part of our return to normalcy, North Shore is taking several measures to ensure that this transition will be as safe as possible. Though, as North Shore’s athletic director said, “It has been a long, dry period without sports.” Ready to get back in the game, NSHAHS athletes work

attempt to recapture their youth by roller skating and dancing, only to find it was more difficult to do than they originally anticipated. At the end of the episode, Ralph reminds them about how it’s not so bad growing old, as long as they have good memories of when they were young.

That’s when Alice turns to Ralph and says, “I don’t even mind growing old, as long as you and I grow old together…” I’ve been more than lucky to share my life with a woman that loves and cares for me. We’ve raised two great kids and still look forward to the future, whatever that may hold.

the corner, students look forward to coloring pictures and preparing goodie bags for child patients at North Shore Hospital. In addition, students have been collecting socks donations with “Knock, Knock Give a Sock,” to be distributed to the homeless. With the sun shining, snow melting and flowers soon to bud, NSHAHS students are lifting spirits all around. Spring has sprung at NSHAHS, and we can’t wait to celebrate. I wish everyone a wonderful spring, a happy Purim and good luck as we complete the school year. —Chloe Mastour is a student at North Shore Hebrew Academy High School (NSHAHS).

For example, students have prepared and braided challah dough with the student events coordinator, Lisa Septimus. The finished product is then distributed to families in need through the “Shabbat in a Box” organization. After having done this multiple times, students are left feeling rewarded with their inspiring and delicious results.

Update Or Replace Windows

nergy efficient windows are an important consideration for both new and existing homes. Heat gain and heat loss through windows are responsible for 25 to 30 percent of residential heating and cooling energy use. If you are selecting windows for new construction or to replace existing windows, it’s important to choose the most efficient windows you can afford that work best in your climate. If your existing windows are in good condition, taking steps to reduce the energy loss through windows can make your home more comfortable and save you money on energy bills. You have two broad options if you hope to reduce the amount of energy lost through your windows and improve the comfort of your home: 1. Update your existing windows to improve efficiency 2. Replace your windows.

Update Existing Windows to Improve Efficiency

If your windows are in good condition, taking steps to improve their efficiency may be the most cost-effective option to increase the comfort of your home and save money on energy costs. There are several things you can do to improve the efficiency of your existing windows: • Check existing windows for air leaks • Caulk and weatherstrip. Check out our do-it-yourself project to learn how to weatherstrip double-hung windows. • Add window treatments and coverings. Learn more about your window treatment options. • Add storm windows or panels

• Add solar control film • Add exterior shading, such as awnings, exterior blinds or overhangs. With any efficiency improvements, take steps to ensure proper installation and check for air leaks again after making the improvement.

Replace Your Windows

If you decide to replace your windows, you will have to make several decisions about the type of windows you purchase and the type of replacement you will make. You may have the option of replacing the windows in their existing frame; discuss this option with your window retailer and installer to find out if it will work for you. You will also need to decide what features you want in your windows. You will need to decide on the following: • Frame types • Glazing type • Gas fills and spacers • Operation types Selection Process In addition to choosing the window type, you also need to consider design, energy use and labeling, warranties, and proper installation. First look for the ENERGY STAR label when buying new windows. Then review ratings on the energy performance label from the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) to find the most efficient windows for your needs. NFRC ratings are included on all ENERGY STAR certified windows and provide a reliable way to determine a window’s energy properties and compare products. Learn about energy performance ratings for windows to

understand how to read the labels and energy-use information. Window Selection Tips • Look for the ENERGY STAR and NFRC labels. • In colder climates, consider selecting gas-filled windows with low-e coatings to reduce heat loss. In warmer climates, select windows with coatings to reduce heat gain. • Choose a low U-factor for better thermal resistance in colder climates; the U-factor is the rate at which a window conducts non-solar heat flow. • Look for a low solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC). SHGC is a measure of solar radiation admitted through a window. Low SHGCs reduce heat gain in warm climates. • Select windows with both low U-factors and low SHGCs to maximize energy savings in temperate climates with both cold and hot seasons. • Look for whole-unit U-factors and

SHGCs, rather than center-of-glass U-factors and SHGCs. Whole-unit numbers more accurately reflect the energy performance of the entire product. Installation Even the most energy-efficient window must be properly installed to ensure energy efficiency and comfort. Have your windows installed by trained professionals according to manufacturer’s instructions; otherwise, your warranty may be void. Window installation varies depending on the type of window, the construction of the house (wood, masonry, etc.), the exterior cladding (wood siding, stucco, brick, etc.), and the type (if any) of weather-restrictive barrier. Windows, flashing, and air sealing should all be installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations to perform correctly. Courtesy of the U.S. Department of Energy

Shopping For Appliances

hen you’re shopping for appliances, think of two price tags. The first one covers the purchase price—think of it as a down payment. The second price tag is the cost of operating the appliance during its lifetime. You’ll be paying on that second price tag every month with your utility bill for the next 10 to 20 years, depending on the appliance. Refrigerators last an average of 12 years; washing machines last about 11 years and room air conditioners last about nine years. The ENERGY STAR Label ENERGY STAR products usually exceed minimum federal standards by a substantial amount. ENERGY STAR-qualified products exceed the federal minimum standards for efficiency and quality. Look for the label on appliances, electronics, water heaters, windows and other products that consume energy in your home. The EnergyGuide Label To help you figure out whether

an appliance is energy efficient, the federal government requires most appliances to display the bright yellow and black EnergyGuide label. Although these labels will not show you which appliance is the most efficient on the market, they will show you the annual energy consumption and operating cost for each appliance so you can compare them yourself. How to Read the EnergyGuide Label The EnergyGuide label is required to be placed on all appliances by the manufacturers. The label provides information about energy consumption, and shows you how much energy an appliance uses compared with similar models. Keep in mind that the numbers are averages: actual costs will differ somewhat depending on how you use them. The label shows the following: • Maker, model number and size of the appliance. • Estimated yearly operating cost (based on the national average cost of electricity) and the range of operating

Nassau County teens Lea Feiner of Levittown, Amritha Jacob of Bellmore and Julia Kirpalani of Merrick made history on February 15 as they become three of the nation’s first female Eagle Scouts—a prestigious achievement attained by some of the country’s most noteworthy figures. Feiner, Jacob and Kirpalani are among hundreds of young women who will make up the Inaugural Class of female Eagle Scouts nationwide. Young women have been part of Scouting for decades in co-ed programs offered by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), including Sea, Venturing, Exploring and STEM Scouts. The BSA expanded that legacy further in recent years by welcoming girls into Cub Scouts and then into Scouts BSA last February. Scouts BSA is the program for youth ages 11 to 17 previously known as Boy Scouts. Since then, tens of thousands of young women throughout state of New York and across the country have joined the organization’s most iconic program with many—including Feiner, Jacob and Kirpalani—working their way toward the rank of Eagle Scout. Eagle Scout is the program’s highest rank, which only about 6 percent of Scouts achieve on average. To earn it, individuals have to take on leadership roles within their troop and their community; earn a minimum of 21 merit badges that cover a broad range of topics including first aid and safety, civics, business and the environment; and they must research, organize and complete a large community service project. Feiner’s Eagle Project benefited the Wantagh Animal Shelter in Wantagh. The ambitious teen constructed perches for cats using shelving and tires to create a dynamic environment for the felines at the facility. She is currently attending Nassau Community College, where she is working toward an Associate Degree in Education. Feiner plans on continuing her studies at Queens College. In addition to gaining skills that last a lifetime, individuals who earn the esteemed Eagle Scout rank can reference it for academic, vocational, and military recognition, including scholarships and advanced enlistment grade.

Actor Lucca De Oliveira discusses CBS’ new crime drama Clarice BY ANTHONY MURRAY

Lucca De Oliveira as Tomas Esquivel

From left: Lucca de Oliveira as Tomas Esquivel and Rebecca Breeds as Clarice Starling (Photo by Brooke Palmer/CBS)

BS’ new crime drama Clarice is a deep dive into the untold personal story of FBI agent Clarice Starling as she returns to the field in 1993, just one year after the events that took place during the film The Silence of the Lambs. Clarice’s bravery gives her an inner light that draws monsters and madmen to her, and her complex psychological makeup that comes from a challenging childhood empowers her to begin to find her voice while working in a man’s world. With a brand new show and backstory of Starling also comes new characters such as FBI agent Tomas Esquivel, who is portrayed by actor and native New Yorker Lucca De Oliveira. “He knows what he’s good at and he knows what he’s not good at,” De Oliveira said about his character. “He knows when to speak and when not to. I think he is a man of integrity and respect, and he knows how the world works and he knows who he is and how he has to move in this world to get further and continue to serve the purpose that he serves. I think he also has this tremendous skill set that he doesn’t entirely feel proud of. He finally found a place where he can finally be put to the test and be used. He’s almost like a loyal dog— he loves to take direction and get the job done, but at the same time he has these strong morals. He has this real good head on his shoulders and he knows how to speak to his superiors, and how to contain his anger and his potential rage.” And as the show progresses throughout its first season, viewers will get to know more about Esquivel as well as the other agents. “We’re going to get to see very much how a man of his

background—a Latin man— navigates through this bureau in the ’90s,” De Oliveira explained. “The times were very different and opportunities for Latin men were very scarce. He knows that he’s fortunate to be in this position and he knows how valuable he is and how many people would kill to be in that position. I don’t think he takes it very lightly. We’re going to continue to discover more about who he is and a little bit more about his personality. Clarice brings out the side of him that he’s not potentially accustomed to. I think behind closed doors

because I care about the small details. I was tentative to not do too much training in the FBI department specifically because Esquivel is a military man and he’s coming into this bureau, and he’s new to this. I didn’t want him to feel like he was accustomed to this lifestyle just yet. He’s still getting used to it. He’s been in the bureau for a couple years now. He’s more familiar with the life of a military man than that of an FBI agent.” So how familiar was De Oliveria with the film and books that Clarice is based off of? “Silence of the Lambs was such an iconic story and the book as well,” he said. “Once finding out about this opportunity, I dove head He knows what he’s first into everything and anything Thomas Harris.

And for good reason. In order for your vehicle to travel the way it’s supposed to, it will need precise alignment. “The wheel alignment consists of adjusting the position of each individual wheel in relationship to the centerline of the vehicle,” said Wilson. “There are specific angles that need to be checked and adjusted in order for it to be within the manufacturer’s specs.” Misalignment can lead to uneven tire wear, poor handling and shorter tire life. Tires are expensive. Keeping them aligned isn’t. “If you purchase a set of tires, then it’s highly desirable that you have the wheels aligned because it’ll ensure a longer tire life and proper vehicle handling,” Wilson added.

There are some noticeable signs that could indicate a misalignment. Just use your eyes, ears and hands. Your senses (and even the good old personal hunch) are good human capital for spotting poor alignment. “There are such fine and minute changes to the wheels’ position that you cannot tell without the special equipment,” said Wilson. Most local tire stores and some mechanics will perform tire alignments. “A highly sophisticated and expensive piece of equipment is needed to carry out an alignment on a modern-day vehicle,” said Wilson, whose shop does offer the service. Here are some common signs that you are dealing with wheels with poor alignment: • Vehicle pulling to the left or right • Uneven or rapid tire wear • Your steering wheel is crooked when driving straight • Squealing tires Many drivers have met their fair share of pothole woes and striking one directly can cause considerable damage to your tires and reduce your vehicle’s performance. A word of advice: do your best to avoid the remaining potholes; your tires and your wallet will thank you.

A Legacy That Still Rides Proudly

lthough Joseph Williams Jr.—the transportation specialist for the Farmingdale School District—passed away in February 2019, the legacy he left behind can still be felt today. In recognition of his incomparable role as a member of the Farmingdale School District, Williams has been posthumously inducted into the New York Association for Pupil Transportation’s (NYAPT) Hall of Fame. Each year, NYAPT selects one individual who upholds its mission of supporting, developing and representing professionals who are responsible for the safe and efficient transportation of school children for this honor. Williams’ exemplary track record embodies all that an honoree must possess. In May 2000, he began his

tenure at the district and stepped into his role of providing safe transportation for thousands of students to and from school every day. It was a role he met with a sense of great responsibility and determination. “Joe Williams was so much more than the district’s transportation supervisor,” Superintendent Paul Defendini said. “He was a highly skilled professional in the field of student transportation, he was a mentor to many of us who worked in central administration, he was a kindhearted friend to all that knew him and he was a committed and tireless member of our family. Although his legacy is intact, we miss him and the genuine kindness that he showed for everyone that was lucky enough to pass him in the halls.”

he truly did it all. Additionally, he was responsible for spearheading the development of the district’s satellite-mapping program, which prepares bus routes for every student in the district.

Caulking

aulk is a flexible material used to seal air leaks through cracks, gaps between stationary building components and materials. Before caulking, you Courtesy of ©iStockphoto.com/BanksPhotos will need to detect the leaks and assess your ventilation needs to ensure adequate indoor air quality. In addition to sealing air leaks, caulking can also prevent water damage inside and outside of the home when applied around faucets, drains, bathtubs and other plumbing fixtures. Applying Caulk • For good adhesion, clean all areas to be caulked. Remove any old caulk and paint, using a putty knife, large screwdriver, stiff brush or special solvent. Make sure the area is dry so you don’t seal in moisture. • Apply caulk to all joints in a window frame and the joint between the frame and the wall. • Hold the gun at a consistent angle. Forty-five degrees is best for getting deep into the crack. You know you’ve got the right angle when the caulk is immediately forced into the crack as it comes out of the tube. • Caulk in one straight continuous stream, if possible. Avoid stops and starts. • Send caulk to the bottom of an opening to avoid bubbles. • Make sure the caulk sticks to both sides of a crack or seam. • Release the trigger before pulling the gun away to avoid applying too much caulking compound. A caulking gun with an automatic release makes this much easier. • If caulk oozes out of a crack, use a putty knife to push it back in. • Don’t skimp. If the caulk shrinks, reapply it to form a smooth bead that will seal the crack completely. The best time to apply caulk is during dry weather when the outdoor temperature is above 45 degrees F. Low humidity is important during application to prevent cracks from swelling with moisture. Warm temperatures are also necessary so the caulk will set properly and adhere to the surfaces. —Courtesy of the U.S. Department of Energy

He and Gilda moved to New Hyde Park in 1986. You know what people mean when they speak of the greatest generation by the example of how Vincent lived his life. Family meant the world to him. He loved taking his grandchildren on road trips and cruises after he retired. They visited Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Niagara Falls, West Point, and Mystic, Connecticut. He was known for his big heart, selflessness, integrity and work ethic. A highlight of his life was bringing the entire family to Italy in 2009 for a family wedding. He will be dearly missed.

The third track project in Mineola has fully taken effect now that Main Street was permanently closed to vehicular traffic late last month. The elimination of the Main Street grade crossing is 3TC’s eighth grade cross elimination for the LIRR Expansion project. Following the Main Street closure, the pedestrian crossing will be closed intermittently due to construction in the area. A new pedestrian overpass will be built at the corner of Main and Front streets with an ADA-compliant elevator. Main Street is the third grade crossing to be eliminated in the Village of Mineola alone. While the Willis Avenue underpass is under construction, foot and car traffic will be effected with detours. Pedestrians and vehicles will now be detoured to Mineola Boulevard or Roslyn Road. Pedestrians who are seeking an ADA-accessible route will now be detoured to the Mineola Intermodal Center overpass that is located at 3rd Avenue and Station Road. The good news for local businesses, who definitely need the extra boost due to the ongoing pandemic, is that they will still be

accessible throughout the closure. Following the reopening of Willis Avenue, which is expected to happen in Fall 2021, vehicles may use the new underpass at Willis Avenue to traverse between both sides of the tracks. According to 3TC, at Main Street, grade crossing gates are in the down position as much as 53 percent of the time during a.m. and p.m. peak hours. The need for grade crossing elimination is further illustrated by six fatal crashes at grade crossing locations in the LIRR main line corridor between 2007-17. This reconstructed grade crossing was designed with the village and will enhance safety and provide for a quieter and more livable community along the railroad.

Garden City High School Senior Spotlight: John Scarlata

carlata has spearheaded numerous fundraising endeavors that made a difference to many families in need. He is also a dedicated student and athlete and is actively involved in his school and community. Last spring, Scarlata coordinated a food drive for the INN in Hempstead. He raised more than $4,000 in donations from friends, neighbors, teammates and family members and was able to purchase groceries and provide a monetary contribution to the facility. He continued his work with the INN over the summer and took on the role of an ambassador, assessing needs

and communicating with residents. He volunteered his time providing pickup service from community donors as well as vendors and restaurants across Long Island, and also participated in curbside food drives and helped organize food at the INN. Scarlata’s charitable efforts have extended into the current school year. He led the Class of 2021 in a Thanksgiving food drive that garnered 15,000 pounds of food for the INN, as well as a holiday coat drive in December that yielded 700 coats. He arranged for free laundering services of the donated items and also purchased brand new coats with

$1,000 raised by the senior class. In addition to his philanthropic dedication, Scarlata has served as varsity track and field team captain and is a member of the varsity soccer team with a variety of athletic awards and accolades to his name.

Village Board Adopts Police Reform And Reinvention Collaborative Plan The Garden City Police Reform and Reinvention Collaborative Plan, which has been posted on the village website for viewing since Jan. 22, was adopted by the Board of Trustees last Tuesday following a public hearing. Garden City Mayor Theresa Trouvé and Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson thanked the community stakeholders and representatives who participated in the collaboration. The village participated in this collaborative effort while conducting a full review of Garden City Police Department policies and procedures. As a result of changes in legislation and input from the Garden City Reform Committee and Nassau County’s Police Reform Initiative,

PACT (Police and Community Trust), the GCPD has made modifications to its policies and procedures as outlined in the plan. “This plan reflects the Village of Garden City’s and the Garden City Police Department’s commitment to serving all the people both equally and fairly,” Commissioner Jackson said. “When applying the guidance presented by the state to the existing policies and procedures in effect, it was gratifying to realize that a great deal of the improvements in

standards and practices this process was created to achieve, are already in place. The village is committed to improving upon this strong foundation and will continue to promote fairness, transparency, trust, and legitimacy while working towards reducing racial disparities.” Several comments were received regarding the Garden City Police Reform Plan. The majority of the responses were supportive of the plan; two contained statements and questions, not suggestions, and one email contained

Couple Recuperating From COVID-19 Breathe Easier After Pulmonary Rehab

New Hyde Park couple, both recuperating from COVID-19, are breathing easier now after a stay at Excel at Woodbury Rehabilitation and Nursing, where they were treated for lingering post-COVID breathing issues. Maria, 76, and Gerard Schiraldi , 77, were admitted to Excel last month with a host of physical issues, the result of battling the coronavirus. Both experienced shortness of breath that required supplemental oxygen, swelling of the extremities and a lingering cough. They were referred to Excel’s physical and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, under the

care of Kandrap (Ken) Shah, Senior Coordinator for Cardiopulmonary program for Paragon Management. As more and more people survive COVID-19, the lingering effects of the virus often stay with them for months afterwards. One study states that about 10 percent of people who have had COVID-19 will experience prolonged symptoms one, two or even three months after they were infected. The married couple left the facility this week to head home and were filled with praise for the staff. “Things turned around when I met Ken,” Gerard said of Shah, who

guided their care. “He taught me what to do, how to do the breathing exercises and I can do so much more now. I never met a man, a trainer, like him.” “My experience with therapy was just absolutely amazing,” Maria said. “I’ve never had the quality of therapy that I’ve had with the staff here. I could barely walk when I came in and I can walk on my own now.” Long Island pulmonologist, Ian H. Newmark of Northwell Health says that breathing exercises are imperative for these post COVID-19 patients, referred to as “long-haulers.” These exercises are well-known to

those chronic pulmonary patients who are battling COPD and other lung issues, but now post COVID-19 patients are showing up at many of these support groups to learn how to get their lungs back in pre-COVID condition. Called Better Breathers Clubs, these groups fall under the umbrella of the American Lung Association (ALA) and offer an opportunity for those recovering from COVID-19 to virtually connect with others who are facing similar experiences, obtain practical information and to receive support. —Submitted by Excel at Woodbury Rehabilitation and Nursing

illage government, it’s often pointed out, is closer to its constituents than any other. It picks up the garbage and plows and resurfaces the streets, trims the tree fronting your property and determines if you can add that extension to your house. Village of Westbury residents can give their consent to the incumbents when the village holds its elections on Tuesday, March 16. Mayor Peter Cavallaro and trustees William Wise and Vincent Abbatiello will be running unopposed for fouryear terms under the banner of the Action Party of Westbury. Cavallaro was first elected in 2009 and is seeking his fourth term. Abbatiello was tabbed to succeed the late Joan Boes in 2018 and won an election in 2019 to complete the last two years of her term. Wise has been in office since 2006. “Despite COVID restrictions, we were able to safely secure over 500 signatures from fellow Westbury residents to place us on the ballot for the election,” Cavallaro said in a statement. “It is gratifying to us that so many assisted in obtaining the signatures, and that so many signed

them.” He added, “We will be running on our record of accomplishment, and our plan for the future. During the past four years, I and the board have worked very hard to improve the quality of life here in Westbury.” Cavallaro touted the village’s fiscal strength, including its high bond ratings from credit agencies, its record of coming in under the state-mandated tax cap in every budget since it came into force, its capital projects under the Downtown Revitalization Initiative grant, and its cooperation with the MTA as it built a big parking garage and eliminated the School Street crossing. “We have plans for the future that

will continue to make Westbury one of Long Island’s most attractive communities for seniors, young families and professionals, and anyone else who enjoys living in a diverse, walkable arts-centered community,” Cavallaro stated. Abbatiello commented, “We have always adhered to conservative and prudent fiscal practices and the efficient delivery of services. We are proud that the village has maintained the lowest tax rate possible. In fact, ours is among the lowest village tax rates of any comparable village, and our bond ratings are the highest in the village’s history. I look forward to serving another term to advance our plans for the future.”

Wise said, “We’ve also worked very hard to control our discretionary spending, and we continually seek operational changes and efficiencies so that we provide village services in the most economical way possible for our taxpayers.” “We have a great team, and it is important to me that we maintain the team that is responsible for the many positive advances we’ve made the past four years,” Cavallaro concluded. In an interview with Anton Media Group, Cavallaro said, “It’s important to make sure we remind people why we’re running, what our agenda is and ask for their vote. We’re not taking anything for granted.” Polling hours will be from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the following election districts sites: District 1–Community Center, 360 Post Ave.; District 2–Village Hall, 235 Lincoln Pl.; District 3–Recreation Center, 348 Post Ave. Due to the pandemic, Powells Lane Elementary School will not be used as the District 3 site this year.

Yes, It Happened Here Discussing slavery on Long Island

In the popular imagination, slavery is limited to the American South. But a recent webinar sponsored by the Interfaith Institute of Long Island in Westbury focused on the sad reality that slavery happened on Long Island. The basis of the webinar was an ambitious research project by journalism students at Stony Brook University. “In the colonial era, every family of means had a few enslaved people in their household,” said Brooklyn College historian Lynda Day, one of the four panelists. Day’s book, Making a Way to Freedom, A History of African Americans on Long Island, was a key source for the students. Their professor, Karen Masterson, invited her to meet with the students, and Day was pleasantly surprised by how much they had learned. “The fact that the students already knew about what I had been writing was really very inspiring,

heartwarming,” Day said. “It was really a very good experience for a person who’s a teacher, a historian, to go to a group of young people who are already prepped to ask very intelligent, very thoughtful questions about the topic.” Masterson, who now teaches at the University of Richmond, admired the 1619 Project on the origins of slavery in America in The New York Times. But it paid little attention to Long Island. “I had already done a little work and understood that we had some really interesting stories to tell from Long Island. So I pitched it to my class,” she said. Brianne Ledda, now a senior and the editor of the campus newspaper and the other students drove all over Long Island, including Brookville and Oyster Bay. Her group began at Sylvester Manor, a 17th century plantation on Shelter Island. They spoke with Donnamarie Barnes, the

archivist there, who referred Ledda to the Plain Sight project, which had been exploring slavery in the Town of East Hampton. “I’ve lived on Long Island my entire life, and I did not know about the history of slavery here,” Ledda said. “So I felt like I was discovering something new every step of the way.” One stunning fact she learned came from a Plain Sight volunteer, Jonathan Kuperschmid. “He said he found an account book that listed the price of cheese as worth more than what they had listed for an enslaved person,” Ledda said. “That was pretty shocking, I think, for everybody who encountered that, to even process that concept. Not only are you putting a price on a person’s life, it’s not even worth more than cheese. That’s crazy.” The Zoom conversation drew a larger-than-usual audience. “For the first time we had to close the registration due to the great

Supervisor Bosworth Announces 2021 S.T.O.P. Program Dates T

own of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board announce the dates for the 2021 Stop Throwing Out Pollutants (S.T.O.P.) events. The first S.T.O.P event will be held on Sunday, March 21 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at North Hempstead Beach Park’s North Lot. “The town is pleased to be able to continue to offer a convenient and environmentally responsible way for our residents to dispose of household hazardous waste, sensitive document and e-waste all in one convenient location,” Bosworth said. The S.T.O.P. program offers Town of North Hempstead residents the opportunity to dispose of dangerous and chemical wastes that are too dangerous to dispose of with routine curbside pickups. Residents can return items such as aerosols, household chemicals, pesticides, disinfectants, fertilizers, bulbs, thermostats, rechargeable and

lithium batteries, TV’s and computers. Latex and water-based paints, once dried out (usually 24-36 hours after the lid is removed) can be placed in a trash bag and thrown out with your regular household garbage. Latex and water-based paints will not be accepted at the S.T.O.P. collection site. Oil-based paints, on the other hand, are considered hazardous and will be accepted at any S.T.O.P. program. Residents may also bring their sensitive documents to the S.T.O.P. event for proper shredding and destruction to prevent identity theft. Any documents brought will be shredded on site by a document shredding company and then transported to a pulping mill for recycling. There is a limit of six “Bankers Box” sized boxes or bags of paper per car, per day. Once the documents are shredded, they will be placed into containers and sent directly to pulping mills. For every 2,000 pounds of paper the Town recycles

equates to 17 trees saved. The town will be collecting pharmaceuticals at several events throughout the year. Please continue to check the Town’s website and social media pages for the latest information. The S.T.O.P. events will also have a clothing donation area. Gently used and working clothes, stuffed animals, electronics, toys, sporting equipment, shoes, books, small area rugs, bikes, scooters, luggage, picture frames, table lamps, bolts of fabric, silverware, glassware, dishes and cosmetics will be collected. Participants must be residents of North Hempstead (no commercial vehicles will allowed) and need to show a driver’s license or other valid proof of residency. Only potentially hazardous household products and e-waste will be accepted. For safety reasons, residents also must remain in their vehicle while event staff removes items to be discarded. Please also leave

pets at home so staff can safely remove items from your vehicle. Additional S.T.O.P programs will be held throughout 2021 including: Sunday, June 27 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Westbury High School, Sunday, Sept. 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at North Hempstead Beach Park (North Lot) and Saturday, Nov. 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at North Hempstead Beach Park (North Lot).

Town Unanimously Approves Working Definition Of Antisemitism Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the town board unanimously approved a resolution adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA)’s working definition of antisemitism at the Feb. 24 board meeting. The definition is now part of the town’s policy and is in keeping with the town’s “Not In Our Town” initiative which combats hate and intolerance. “By adopting this antisemitism definition, we have further emphasized that North Hempstead is a place of unity and inclusiveness for all,” Bosworth said. “The town is committed in the fight against intolerance and hate, and we stand together with the community to send this powerful message.” The approved resolution adopted the internationally recognized working definition of antisemitism, which has become the authoritative definition for use by governments and international organizations. It includes a clear and definitive

message for the public by identifying acts that constitute antisemitism. The resolution provides examples of rhetorical and physical hatred towards Jewish or non-Jewish individuals, property, institutions and religious facilities. The American Jewish Committee Long Island provided the town with guidance in drafting the resolution. “The Long Island Region of American Jewish Committee thanks Supervisor Bosworth and the Town of North Hempstead Board for adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism. Defining antisemitism is the first step to combating it and we are most appreciative that the Town of North Hempstead has taken this proactive step. The Working Definition can serve as an educational tool in schools and be used for training town staff and officials. In an environment where 48 percent of Americans don’t know what the

term antisemitism means and hate crimes continue to rise, there is a great deal of education that needs to be done. The Working Definition has been employed by 28 foreign governments, many multilateral bodies, and successive American presidents, including President Joe Biden. The Town of North Hempstead joins the Town of Hempstead, Town of Oyster Bay, and City of Glen Cove in creating greater momentum for all municipalities on Long Island to adopt the definition,” Eric Post, Regional Director for American Jewish Committee (AJC), Long Island, said. “As a longtime resident of North Hempstead and now a member of the Long Island Board of the American Jewish Committee (AJC), I am extremely pleased and appreciative of the action of Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the members of the town vouncil to officially adopt the IHRA def-inition of antisemitism. Although we are fortunate that

our town has taken a strong stand against antisemitism and all forms of hate and intolerance, and that we’ve experienced relatively few incidents, the rising trend around the United States and the world is very troubling. Adoption of a uniform and clear definition of antisemitism by so many national and local governments worldwide will help officials and the public more easily identify and understand antisemitic acts and words and to take action when necessary. Thank you, North Hempstead.” Steve Markowitz, Board Member of AJC, Long Island, said. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) adopted the working definition antisemitism in 2016 in response to a rise in antisemitism in Europe. The working definition serves as a clear and compact description of antisemitism in all forms. —Submitted by the Town of North Hempstead

Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 18 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

Even so, it’s one that won’t go over well this week. It’s not your fault, but your very essence sets up expectation and hope in others. Let them down easy with the sort of sentence that makes them feel good about what they’re doing, even though you won’t be involved. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The aspect of human nature that gets a workout this week will be your sense of personal responsibility. You’ll gain intimate knowledge of its edges, as fuzzy as they can be. The blurred lines between “my job” and “your job” are especially soft right now. Be careful what you establish, as it quickly becomes the norm.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What you want you must give at once. Show the universe what you’re talking about. Love and appreciation are especially accessible through this method. Furthermore, you’ll learn something life-changing after you teach something life-changing. You’ll overcome an obstacle after helping someone over their obstacle. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The mind, left unattended, will churn out rationalizations to support the laziest of notions. But you know this already and come prepared. Once you set a goal, you expect things to get hard. You commit to being undeterred by things like fear, inconvenience or the learning curve. Nothing can stop you!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Many make efforts to give you their best, but you don’t require it. You believe it’s not their job to show you that they are interesting, good or beautiful. Rather, you believe it’s your job to find, highlight or inspire the goodness and beauty in others. This week, the quest becomes interesting. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). While food is necessary and television is fun, overindulgences of either will rob you of this week’s treasures, which are more likely found in the hungry pursuit of an actual adventure, not the satisfied relaxation of watching adventures glow through a screen. Life comes at you vividly because you go find it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People think what they want, and you’ll have little to do with it. That is, unless you launch a long-form exercise in influence. It’s a talent of yours, though such things are only worth the time when they are deliberate and for a higher purpose that will serve many. Some such opportunities will arise this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You want to give of yourself, but the actualities and realities of that gift are a little foggy. Start by figuring out what you know and asking what you don’t. Overthinking is the death of creativity. You’ll learn in the doing. By week’s end, you’ll be clear about what you want to express and the why and how of it, too. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll have a wonderful time with someone who not only lets you be you but also brings out new sides. While you’d like to be around this person more, the relationship is also a reminder about how important it is to meet new people and be open to influence by interpersonal dynamics. Friendship is an adventure. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). An ego can be a delicate thing. Yours isn’t now, but you remember when you were in a different place, raw and growing into yourself. Every little thing felt like an affront to your security and sense of self. It’s why you can be so compassionate and will lead others to a safe place of trust and personal growth.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Since the year will rise up to meet your level of enthusiasm for it, the best move is to initiate with wonder, and approach with excitement that will feel, at first, a bit outsized for the circumstances. Open a fresh interest, launch a quest, and enjoy the new friends that come with the package. The spring brings inner peace -- the product of healthy choices. The value of exercise cannot be emphasized enough as happiness goes with soul satisfaction and balanced physical chemistry. COPYRIGHT 2021 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Taking responsibility is the magic move that makes you powerful. In response to this week’s excitement, you’ll reaffirm your role as the sole determiner of your success. You’ll win, not because things always go the way you want, but because when they don’t, you always try again.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your ideal lifestyle is attainable. It will involve letting go. There are things you tried and enjoyed that have no place in this new season of life. You’re coming into a cycle of trimming, decluttering and simplifying. With efficiency on your side, you make room for what you’ve been craving -- substantial beauty.
