Grant Program Offers Assistance To Entertainment Venues BY CAROLINE RYAN

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

ongressman Tom Suozzi held a press conference last week at the Landmark on Main Street in Port Washington to discuss how the Shuttered Venues Operators Grant (SVOG) program will help deliver financial assistance to entertainment venues, which have been forced to keep their doors closed for more than a year due to the pandemic. The Shuttered Venues Operators Grant is a $16 billion program that aims to help shuttered venue operators impacted by the pandemic. At least $2 billion is set aside for small venue operators that have fewer than 50 employees. The grant amounts will vary, depending on when a business began operations, but operators will likely receive up to 45 percent of their pre-pandemic gross received revenue, or $10 million, whichever is less. The application process, which allows venue operators to apply for loans through the program even if they have previously received funds from the Paycheck Protection Program, begins on April 8. “The effects of this pandemic have been cruelly uneven with one of the hardest-hit sectors being live entertainment venues, performing arts organizations, independent movie theaters and cultural institutions,” Suozzi said during the press event. “The Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program, which was expanded by The American Rescue Plan, will deliver a desperately-needed lifeline that will breathe life once again into our local entertainment industry.” Business owners and directors from some of Long Island’s live entertainment venues attended Suozzi’s press event including Laura Mogul, Executive Director of Landmark on Main Street, Jim Condron, Stephen Ubertini, two of the four owners of The Paramount in Huntington; Kevin O’Neill, owner of the John Engeman Theater in Northport and Michael Epstein, owner of My Father’s Place in Roslyn. Laura Mogul, executive director of the Landmark on Main Street, stated that she was grateful that Congressman Suozzi has continued to

advocate for arts and entertainment venues throughout the pandemic. “It was important to us at Landmark that even with all of the other major issues like the stimulus—he’s still there plugging for the entertainment industry that is so important on Long Island,” Mogul said. “We were pleased that he chose Landmark as the place to make that statement. It gives us a stage to make the points we need to make about our industry.” According to a study by Suffolk and Nassau County on the economic impacts of COVID-19, the hospitality industry lost 82,000 jobs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mogul stated that the money the Landmark has received through loans thus far only accounts for last years lost wages. “All of the funding that’s been happening—that’s going to help make us whole for the past year,” Mogul said. “It’s going to take a year for us to come back to normal and we’re going to need more support. We are looking for New York State to step up in their budget and for the Federal Government to continue to help support us. All of the money we talked about in that press conference—that’s just catching up to where we are now.” New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo granted live entertainment venues permission to reopen under 33 percent capacity beginning on April 2. However, the capacity restriction combined with the added COVID-19 safety measures make it nearly impossible for many Long

Island entertainment venues, like the Landmark to reopen. “That 33 percent I guess it works for some venues with very specific layouts, but it doesn’t work for most [venues] and it doesn’t work for Landmark,” Mogul said. “The reason it doesn’t work because it isn’t just a 33 percent number, there are two other factors in that reopening guideline. One is it’s 33 percent capacity but a max of 100, so we’re 425 seats, 33 percent is about 140 [seats] for us. But the other number that factors in there is that we still have to maintain six-feet of separation between what we call ticketing pods.” Mogul explained that if they sell a pair of tickets, there must be six feet of distance between each pair of ticket holders. If everyone bought tickets in pairs, the Landmark would only be able to fit 72 people in the orchestra and 20 in the balcony, which only ads up to 92 people. This small number of ticket sales would not generate enough money to operate efficiently. “We can’t even get to 33 percent, we can’t even get to 100 as long as tickets are sold primarily in pairs and as long as we need to maintain that separation,” Mogul said. “Even at 100 sold, I can’t afford to put on a show.” Despite the inability to have indoor performances, the show must go on. Mogul is hoping that a slow transition to reopening will make audience members feel more comfortable coming back into a theater. “Our mission as a nonprofit is

to bring the arts to as much of the community as possible,” Mogul said. “We know that people trust us to put on a good show and to take care of them and we want to deliver on that promise.” The Landmark is continuing to offer virtual programs like they have since the start of the pandemic. They are also beginning their live outdoor concert series on May 15 with Saturday evening shows for adults, and children’s shows in the afternoon. On April 21, the Landmark is also going to be offering their Afternoon Tea program for seniors with a limited number of live audience members. Registration for the event will be held in advance and social distancing and all COVID protocols will be followed. For more information on events taking place at the Landmark on Main Street, visit www.landmarkonmainstreet.org. Applications for the SVOP will be taken on a rolling basis, with no deadline and priority will be given to businesses that report the greatest loss. Business owners should visit www.svograntportal.sba.gov/s/ for more information and to review application materials. —Additional information provided by the office of Congressman Tom Suozzi What did you think of this story?

Russell Runs For Town Clerk BY MARCO SCHADEN

mschaden@antonmediagroup.com

own of North Hempstead councilmember Viviana Russell will be the Democrat nominee for town clerk that was opened up after current clerk, Wayne Wink, decided to run for town supervisor. Russell has moved her way up through the town, notably working in the town’s 311 call center for three years before becoming councilmember for the last 12 years. “I love public service and I think running for the town clerk position gives me a broader view of public service,” Russell said. “It’s public service in a different way, it’s more of administrative role. I think my experience working in the town and knowing the intricacies of the town would be beneficial.” Town clerk is not the first job Russell was looking to run for, she originally was looking at a potential run for supervisor. However, party primaries in local government are seen as a waste of money and resources that could be used during a general election.

“I’m a team player, I’m a member of the democratic party,” Russell said. “I know this is a position that Wayne has been aspiring to. While I love the policy making aspect of the work, the clerk’s office challenges me in a different way. I think Wayne will make a fantastic supervisor; he has great experience in government.” “I am proud to endorse Viviana Russell,” Wink said. “She has been an exceptionally able and effective

colleague, and I know she will be a great town clerk. As the leader of this year’s North Hempstead Democratic team, I look forward to running with her.” Russell has also been a realtor for the last 15 years and has done a plethora of work outside of her responsibilities as town councilwoman in her community of New Cassel. She is a member or affiliated with the NAACP, First Baptist Cathedral of Westbury, SUNY Old Westbury Foundation trustee, Espoir Youth Program, nonprofit Unity Circle Million Women Movement, Westbury Community-wide Partnership and on the town’s Project Independence Advisory Council. Russell would be the first AfricanAmerican town-wide elected official if she wins the race for town clerk. The clerk plays a much different role in the town than her current occupation, including not having a vote on the board and handling more of the town’s every day administrative functions. “I would continue working with the councilmembers, supervisor and the various departments to ensure that we are looking at the best technology that

is out there to make sure that we are staying connected so that we can be efficient,” Russell said. “There’s always room for improvement and so any way that we can be more efficient for our residents.” Russell’s father emigrated form Cuba in the 1950s and married her mother, a native of South Carolina. Russell has been married to Gary Russell Sr. for 27 years, they have three kids and two twin grandchildren. Her potential role as town clerk would see her being involved more imminently with families across North Hempstead. “You meet people at very crucial times in their lives and to be able to be that person that they interact with at that very crucial moment in their life is very important,” Russell said. “You think about the three biggest things in your life when you’re born, when you get married and when you die, all of those aspects of your life are encompassed in the clerk’s office.” Editor’s note: Anton Media Group reached out to Russell’s Republican opponent for town clerk, Ragini Srivastava, on multiple occasions to do a similar profile piece.

Digital Fingerprint Scanner For Port Police Fingerprint scanners are fast replacing manual, ink-on-paper fingerprinting at law enforcement agencies across the county and around the world. Not only is it easier and cleaner for police departments to use, but digital fingerprints are also more accurate and easier to store and upload to databases for use by any police department. During a recent visit to the Port Washington Police Department (PWPD), Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D - Glen Cove) got an up-close look at the Department’s new digital fingerprint scanner, which was purchased with County funds she helped secure. “The improved accuracy and digital transmission capabilities associated with digital fingerprinting are real game-changers in law enforcement,” Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton said. “I’m proud to have worked with my colleague to bring this cutting-edge tool to the Port Washington Police Department.” The Live Scan 1000 is a high-quality scanning system that digitally captures finger and palm prints.

The scanner captures sharp images to ensure error-free biometric data collection, and its immediate image preview feature prevents possible reproduction issues. The scanner electronically checks and sends

fingerprints to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services and makes them available to the Nassau County Courts and Police Department. While this digital fingerprint

scanner is an important tool for any police agency, the ability to capture digital fingerprints that can instantaneously be shared with various law enforcement agencies has become especially valuable since the elimination last year of pretrial detention for nearly all misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies under sweeping Statewide criminal justice reforms. “We are grateful to Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton for approving the funds to purchase this critical fingerprint scanner,” Port Washington Police Department Chief Robert Del Muro said. “The technology behind these scanners speeds up the processing of arrests and enables the officers to be available for duty faster, as well as bringing accuracy and the ability to share records with other agencies to a whole new level.” Please contact Legislator DeRiggiWhitton’s office at 516-571-6211 or dderiggiwhitton@nassacountyny. gov with any questions or comments regarding this or any other topic. —Submitted by the office of Delia DeRiggi-Whitton

Temple Judea Hosts Nassau County Art Museum Director News

he congregants of Temple Judea enjoyed a fascinating and exciting virtual event recently. It was arranged by Paul Vegoda, the chair of the Lifelong Learning committee at Temple Judea, who has been a volunteer at the Nassau County Museum of Art for many years. The program was a lecture and tour of the current exhibit by the vivacious and exuberant Director of the Museum, Dr. Charles Reilly. The theme of the exhibit at the Museum is the great art of women artists. Works by Mary Cassatt, Georgia O’Keefe, Lee Krasner, Elaine deKooning, Helen Frankenheimer and Louise Nevelson, which are names of world—renowned

artists, were all represented. Their works, as well as other women artists are exhibited right here in Roslyn at the Museum. It was exciting to hear Reilly explain to the group the fascinating backgrounds of these artists and the difficulties they experienced simply because of their gender. Some of the artwork looked at first like random brushstrokes until Dr Reilly showed what the artists were expressing. Suddenly the paintings came to life. It was truly an educating, enlightening and fascinating experience for the group. Even those who had knowledge of Abstract Expressionism came away with a clear understanding of each painting.

COLUMN

Why Does it Matter? Why are we learning this? Will we ever use this in the real world? Why do I have to memorize the periodic table when it has nothing to do with my career goals? I am sure you have heard all of these questions from students that you know. Maybe they have even come from you. While these are all simple and reasonable questions, the answer is more complex. This year has taught us that no one is prepared for everything and that we never know what the future will hold. This logic begs the question as to why students are not mandated to take a course entitled “Surviving A Modern Pandemic.” I pose that we don’t need this class, we are being taught many of the requisite coping mechanisms and skills through the classes that we currently take in high school. Still, it is normal to question the curriculum that we dedicate so much of our time to learning. I must admit that I was once the student complaining to my parents about why certain classes are mandatory

The Angle

and what their future application to my life would be. They consistently repeated the same mantra, “once you learn the foundations of each discipline, you will be able to apply them to the world and find what interests you most.” Well, I hate to admit it but once again, they were right. It may have taken a while but I can truly see that there is meaning that can be found in every class that I take and application to the real world. This has become abundantly clear as I have lived through the past twelve months of a global pandemic and hotly debated election.

This year I am excited by several of the courses I am taking and can easily see their application to the real world. Among my favorites are Advanced Placement US History, Advanced Placement Psychology and Utopian/ Dystopian Literature. Each of these classes, while not mandatory, offer life lessons and a greater understanding of history and human behavior that has been repeated throughout time. Without the prerequisite courses that I was required to take, I would not be able to fully appreciate my current classes. AP US History, as the name suggests, follows Americans from their arrival in the New World all the way to present day America. Throughout this course, we have learned about political divisiveness, mistreatment of specific groups of people, protests, economic recession, and the illnesses that our country and its citizens have experienced. Sound familiar? The events that we are taught about in history classes are not only reflective but can be thought

of as a guide or in some cases, a warning, for the future. Winston Churchill wrote, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Time and time again, history has repeated itself, for good and bad. It is up to us to continue this trend or put an end to it. Learning history and gaining insight into our past, allows us to act and plan for the present and future. AP Psychology is always relevant to everyday life. This class offers insight into why we act the way we do as well as learning how human behavior is affected by every situation. These include the effects on the human brain from isolation, lack of human contact, and being in one place for an extended period of time. In the last year, we have all experienced the consequences of lockdown and isolation firsthand. The material learned in this course may seem to only be information in a vacuum, however, it can be applied to practically any situation in our daily lives, including ones of strange circumstance.

Utopia/Dystopia is a course that discusses the theoretical “end of the world” and societies that seem very different from our own. While all of the work studied in this course is fictional, it is valuable for more than entertainment. A common theme of dystopian literature throughout time has been mass death due to disease and large societal changes as a result. This genre of literature often discusses isolation, the termination of daily life as we know it, and the fragility of humanity. We have experienced a disruption of “normal” political, economic, and social life throughout the last year. It may not seem directly applicable to the real world, but the ideas discussed in some of these dystopian stories offer insight into how humans could react to drastic situations. So what is the lesson: the next time you are bored in class, think about how you might apply that lesson to everyday life. —Zack Siegel is a senior at Schreiber High School

Dolphin Found Dead In Manhasset Bay A Day After Rescue Attempt BY MARCO SCHADEN

mschaden@antonmediagroup.com

s low-tide approached in Manhasset Bay on Tuesday, March 30, a dolphin was seen stranded in the mud and was unable free itself. After a rescue attempt, the dolphin was found stranded again and confirmed dead early the following morning. The Nassau County Police Department 6th Precinct and Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department (MLFD) responded to a 6:07 p.m. 911 call about the distressed dolphin. When police officers got to the scene, a civilian was with the dolphin in the mud. The officers entered the muddy waters and reached the dolphin, then proceeded to get a kayak and put the dolphin on top and transport it to deeper waters, dispatching the dolphin approximately 300 feet from where it was stranded. Two officers suffered multiple lacerations to their feet and were transported to a local hospital. The dolphin was able to swim after the kayak trip, but was not swimming towards the open ocean. Firefighters and the DEC on the shore then attempted to lure the dolphin out to sea. “We deployed two small rubber rafts and took the [DEC] out there and tried to help the dolphin at that point,” MLFD Deputy Chief Greg Weisburd said. “They were keeping his blow hole above water, so he didn’t drown or anything. They were trying to push [the dolphin] out, but apparently there was something wrong with I believe his dorsal fin, and as they were trying to push him, he kept on going in circles.” New York Marine Rescue Center, based in Riverhead, then arrived at the scene. This would be the thirteenth dolphin stranded they have responded to this year, up from 12 all of last year. “Sometimes we see solitary individuals go into bays and creeks and other kinds of less ideal water sources oftentimes because they are ill and they are already compromised and so often they travel into those areas and it could be just for them to pass away in that location.” New York Marine Rescue Center spokesperson Maxine Montello said. “This individual was very sick and was definitely underweight and an older animal and so it coming into that area definitely was not abnormal and was not a healthy individual.”

An extraction of the animal was planned, but was deemed too dangerous for the personnel as the sun came down and was called off at 9:13 p.m. New York Marine Rescue Center planned to do the extraction the following morning, but they found the dolphin stranded and dead at 6:50 a.m. “When it was kind of refloated or pushed back into deeper water the animal started demonstrating kind of erratic behavior swimming in tight circles and showing signs that it wasn’t doing well,” Montello said. “We know when a Marine mammal strands, there’s usually more things going on with it than it just stranding because of low tide, but they can strand just because they got caught up in a shallow area. Our job is to do an assessment in the field. When we get these calls about stranded animals for a dolphin, we go out and we perform an in-field assessment. We have a couple options, we could try to refloat the animal at that location,we could try to take the animal to a new location, maybe it’s a better ideal ocean-side release or if the animal is very sick and is not a candidate to go back into the water, we could humanely euthanize. This animal passed on its own, but based on what we know about the animal, it probably would have been a candidate for euthanasia and not a candidate for release.” A necropsy will be completed by Atlantic Marine Conservation Society to learn more about the animal’s health. The DEC urges the public to report sick, injured, or stranded marine mammals to the New York Stranding Hotline by calling 631-369-9829. “Animals in these situations are already under extreme stress and unnecessary handling or attention can further worsen their condition,” a DEC spokesperson said. “Do not attempt to intervene and follow all directions provided by the stranding hotline. Dolphins are federally protected animals and require trained response teams to evaluate and assist the animal.” What did you think of this article?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR COMER FOR TRUSTEE On April 13, the Port Washington Public Library will hold its annual Board of Trustee Election and budget vote. We urge Port Washington residents to join us in supporting the Library budget and the re-election of trustee Nancy Comer. We have gotten to know Nancy as neighbors in Baxter Estates and as members of the board of the Baxter Pond Foundation, of which Nancy is co-founder and current president. Through service on this board, we have seen first-hand Nancy’s commitment to hard work, creative thinking and serving and improving the Port Washington community. A 49-year resident of Port

Washington, Nancy has served on the Library Board for ten years. During that time, the Port Washington Public Library has been consistently rated one of the top libraries in the United States. Nancy has personally helped raise more than $40,000 in grant funding for Library programs, and she is the founder of the Library’s award winning “Books for Dessert” program, a book club for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. During her current term, she participated in a number of major renovations that have been begun or completed including: the opening of the renovated and

expanded Children’s Room; a new Adult Learning Center; improved restrooms and the design and initial construction of the new “MakerSpace.” She is actively involved in planning for the upcoming refurbishment of other Library spaces. In the past year, Nancy has helped steward the Library’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has included a transition to virtual programming and a substantial increase in the availability of audio files, e-books and digital databases. In the year ahead, we will need Nancy’s continued leadership as the library continues to adapt to

post-COVID realities. In addition to supporting Nancy’s re-election, we hope you will support passage of the Library’s budget. The library has had balanced budgets and little or no tax increases in each of the past five years, and there are no budget or tax levy increases in the proposed 2021-22 budget. Voting will take place at the Library from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on April 13. Please get out and cast your vote for the budget and Trustee Nancy Comer. —Kim and John Keiserman Port Washington

VOTE KELLER FOR LIBRARY TRUSTEE I am writing to urge your readers to support Bill Keller for a second term as a Trustee of the Port Washington Public Library (PWPL). I can think of no one better suited for the position. I have known Bill both as a community member and as a colleague. Bill and I worked together at Queens College (QC) of the City University of New York (CUNY) where Bill

served as the Vice President for Finance & Administration for more than seven years until his retirement this past December. I had the pleasure of working with him for nearly five years. Based on his work at QC, I am certain that Bill has the expertise and experience needed to help oversee the finances and management of Port Washington’s wonderful Library.

He thinks strategically, able to see the big picture, while also possessing command of important details. As the Chief Financial Officer of Queens College, Bill was responsible for its annual budget that totals more than $120 million. He oversaw facility operations, managing more than 40 buildings and a construction and renovation budget of more

than $9 million a year and was responsible for QC’s technology and human resources departments. Key to his financial and administrative work is Bill’s close attention to the needs of QC’s students, faculty and staff—he’s a numbers guy who understands people, and a people guy who understands numbers. Bill was a crucial partner with

—not to mention his sincere love for the Port Washington Community, which he has been a part of since his school days—make him a valuable asset to the Library board. I believe Bill is uniquely qualified to help ensure that our Library

continues to excel. My support for his re-election is based on Bill’s financial prowess; experience in facilities and technology management; and his firm belief in outstanding community service. I know that he is the right person to continue to serve Port

She is the founder of the Library’s award-winning “Books for Dessert” Program (book clubs for people with intellectual and

developmental disabilities) and its recently added virtual rendition.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LETTERS from page 15 $40,00 in grant funding for Library programs. Comer’s background

experience as a writer, editor and publishing consultant have been and are an asset as trustee of the PWPL board.

A resident of Port Washington since 1972, she has served on the boards of many nonprofit organizations including Community

Mainstreaming Associates and as co-founder and current president of the Baxter’s Pond Association. —Georgia and Ben DeYoung

VOTE FOR NANCY COMER ON APRIL 13 I am writing in support of my friend and neighbor Nancy Comer who is running for re-election for Trustee of the Port Washington Public Library. Throughout the 25 years of our residency, Nancy has shared her past experiences with me as we have bonded over our love of books and the special town that we live in. I can personally attest to how indebted the Village of Baxter Estates is to Nancy as the co-founder and current president of our local Baxter’s Pond Foundation. Our community is equally as lucky to have had Comer serve for the past

10 years on the board of the PWPL which has consistently been rated as one of the top libraries in the country. During her tenure the PWPL has had balanced budgets and little or no tax increases with no upcoming budget or tax levy increases proposed. Personally, she has helped raise more than $40,000 in grant funding for library programs. Comer’s current term has seen a number of major renovations including the opening of the expanded Children’s Room; a new Adult Learning Center; lavatory renovations

and the design and initial construction of a Maker Space. Of special note is the Library’s award-winning “Books for Dessert” program for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities which was founded by Comer. During the pandemic the Library quickly pivoted to virtual programming and substantially increased the availability of audio, e-books and digital databases. No doubt, Comer’s extensive experience with marketing, design and electronic media led to this outcome. She has worked as a

writer, editor and publishing consultant for a number of national women’s magazines and newspapers, from Mirabella to The New York Times and has served on the boards of many other nonprofits, including the NYC affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and Community Mainstreaming. There is no better candidate than incumbent Nancy Comer. Cast your ballot for Trustee at the Port Washington Public Library and budget vote on Tuesday, April 13 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. —Debbie Shlafmitz

RE-ELECT NANCY COMER AS LIBRARY TRUSTEE Am enthusiastically supporting Nancy Comer to be reelected to the Port Library Board. She has been an avid supporter of the library since moving to Port 49 years ago. As a writer and editor for many years

becoming active at the library was a perfect blending of her interest and desire to volunteer. Nancy has served 10 years on the board and has been a very active member. Among her many projects she created the literacy

Two Port Juniors Represent Youth Leadership Conference While many upperclassmen may opt to spend their weekends out and about, Paul D. Schreiber High School juniors, Roger Carias Escobar and Elianny Tavares, decided it would be better to join peers from across New York for the 2021 Puerto Rican/ Hispanic Youth Leadership Institute (PR/HYLI). The annual event is typically held at the Capitol Building in Albany, however, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the conference was conducted via Zoom. Roger and Elianny were selected to represent the Long Island Delegation after participating in several leadership workshops and completing a significant number of extracurricular activities. The virtual conference was the culmination of Roger and Elianny’s hard work and dedication throughout the last several months to empower Hispanic communities across the state. Through the Puerto Rican/ Hispanic Youth Leadership Institute, Roger and Elianny refined their leadership, public speaking and community advocacy skills. The

Meet The Sneaker King Of Port Washington

BY CAROLINE RYAN cryan@antonmediagroup.com

rett Robinson, a student at Schreiber High School started his own business three years ago selling sneakers through his Instagram account @kicks.ny. Although only a sophomore in high school, Robinson’s passion for sneakers has transformed into a growing business over the last several years. As a young entrepreneur, Robinson hopes to inspire others his age to chase their dreams and work hard for something they are passionate about. What made you want to start your own business? I think I may have been nine or 10 when I first discovered the concept of making money. I found simple ways to earn extra cash with friends or my younger sister—be it a make-shift summer lemonade stand, offering to do house chores—whatever it was, I loved the hustle. Seeing the funds add up in my drawer was exciting. When I turned 12, I saw the craze over sneakers. I was surprised both at the demand in the market and the prices being paid. How did you come up with the idea to purchase new and used sneakers? I’ve always respected Michael Jordan and his accomplishments. He’s the icon. Air Jordan and Nike have paved their way in the sneaker game. I became especially interested with the Jordan 1s, which are an extremely popular sneaker—especially these days. I got my hands on multiple pairs of this sought-after shoe. I paid the retail price for each pair and within very little time, I turned a profit by selling them. Where do you get your inventory from? Multiple sources, some of which include Instagram sellers, tradeshows, locals and people from around the country. I have learned over the years to be really careful when buying. I look over each pair to ensure authenticity, and that they are not a replica or copy. If I have even the slightest concern, I pass. Several times over the years I have come across fakes and often times even my trained eye has a hard time knowing. I do a lot of online research to pick up skills and

It benefits me and my customers who have come to know I am someone they can trust. How do people purchase your sneakers? Most of my sales are through my Instagram (@kicks.ny) account. If I cannot sell a pair that route, I will attend trade shows in the city or here on Long Island. I have built solid relationships with other sellers locally and throughout the country. Other sources for my sales have been the Port Washington community, Ebay or the GOAT app—a sneaker and apparel site for sales and marketing. Other times, people direct message (DM) me on Instagram where we negotiate. How do you balance your business with schoolwork? School has always come first and remains my number one priority. But when my studying is done, I move onto my sneaker business and try to find deals whether I’m buying or

selling. My room is filled with boxes I self pack, weigh and print proper postage labels to ship to buyers nationwide. What is your favorite part of the job? For me, it’s the hunt for desirable inventory, finding an old pair that is in excellent condition to land on the feet of a happy customer. This hobby has taught me the importance of a clean reputation and excellent credibility. With those two factors, you’re bound to increase your profit margins. What’s the rarest pair you’ve sold? That would have to be a tie between two pairs. First, the Off-White X Jordan 1 Chicago released in 2017 at a very limited offering. I was able to get my hands on a lightly worn pair. I listed them on my Instagram page and they sold in rather quickly. Another extremely rare pair I acquired and sold were the Air Yeezy 2 Solar Reds, released in 2012. This model

Q A

continues to go up in price because of its rarity. These sold fast for me as well, because of the fame Kanye West and his sneakers hold. What advice would you give today to peers your age who might want to start a business? I would say that before you start anything, create a vision for yourself. Stick to that vision while at the same time be flexible and make adjustments along the way. You need to be very organized. Keep spreadsheets of everything basic and important like customers names, contact info, items purchased, sales numbers and any other details that will help grow your business. Don’t be afraid to talk to other people in the business and ask questions. I’ve found this to be the best way to learn. I’m just getting started. Most importantly, always be honest.

Q A

Any goals for the future? I want to continue growing my sales as I have done each year so far, and it would be nice to meet one of the celebrities who endorse the sneakers I sell. What did you think of this article? Share your thoughts with me by email at: cryan@ antonmediagroup.com

North Hempstead Announces Honorees For May W. Newburger Women’s Roll Of Honor

s part of Women’s History Month, North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth and Town Clerk Wayne Wink announced the honorees for the 28th Annual May W. Newburger Women’s Roll of Honor. Until the pandemic, the Women’s Roll of Honor was celebrated as a breakfast event at Harbor Links Golf Course in Port Washington. That tradition will continue when it is safe again to do so, with potential plans for late spring or early summer. “I am proud to honor these outstanding women for their incredible service to North Hempstead,” Wayne Wink event chairperson said. “Each of these women reflects the best that our communities have to offer and we are proud to honor them for their work.” “We are proud to continue our tradition of celebrating all of these exceptional women who have made our community a better place to live,” Supervisor Bosworth said. “It is our honor to induct yet another extraordinary class to our Women’s Roll of Honor.” Since 1994, North Hempstead has held the Women’s Roll of Honor breakfast to honor women who have made a contribution to their

The Women’s Roll of Honor is named after the late May W. Newburger who served as North Hempstead Supervisor from 1994-2003. The 2021 Honorees: Margaret Ballantyne-Mannion, Mineola, Kira Bryant, Westbury, Traci Caines, Westbury, Lynn Capuano, Port

Town Announces Home Sustainability Workshops, And Rain Barrel And Composter Sales Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board are pleased to announce that the Town will be offering Home Sustainability Workshops this April, and will be selling rain barrels and composters to Town residents as well. This year’s classes will be held virtually through the Zoom platform. Classes are free for all, including both residents and non-residents, but registration is required. Upcoming workshops will include: Sustainable Yard Care: Saturday, April 10, at 10 a.m. In the Sustainable Yard Care workshop you will learn ways to make your yard more eco-friendly by composting, conserving water, using alternatives to pesticides and more. Creating Rain Gardens: Saturday, April 24, at 10 a.m. Rain gardens are bowl shaped

gardens that are positioned near a water run-off source, such as a gutter downspout or driveway, to capture rainwater. In the Town’s rain garden workshop you will discover how these gardens reduce stormwater

pollution and flooding, recharge and purify our drinking water, and provide food and habitat for wildlife. Sign up and learn how to create one in your own yard. Native Plant Gardening: Saturday, April 24, at 12 p.m. The Native Plant Gardening workshop will teach you how to create native plant gardens which conserve water, reduce the need for fertilizers and pesticides, and provide food and habitat for wildlife, such as pollinators. Composting and using a rain barrel are two great ways to help the environment from your own backyard. Compost provides valuable nutrients for soil and plants, reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills or combustion facilities, and lessens the need for synthetic fertilizers. Rain barrels are containers that

collect rainwater that can be used for outdoor irrigation and help to conserve water use, allowing users to save money and reduce stormwater pollution. The Town will also have composters and rain barrels available for purchase at a discounted price of $50 each (one each per household). These items are only available to Town residents. Those interested must pre-register for a specific pickup date held at Clark Botanic Garden. This can be done online or by calling 311. For more information on these programs, to register for a workshop, or to purchase a rain barrel and composter visit northhempsteadny.gov/sustainability or call 311. —Submitted by the Town of North Hempstead

Guidance Center Hosts Spring ‘Lunch-In’ W hen North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center decided to cancel its in-person Spring Luncheon fundraiser this year to keep its supporters safe during the pandemic, the organization came up with a creative alternative: the firstof-its-kind Spring Lunch-In, a virtual event held on March 24 that featured fabulous recipes and table design tips from some of the area’s most philanthropic businesses. George and Gillis Poll, restaurateurs extraordinaire and owners of Bryant & Cooper Steakhouse, showcased three of their most popular recipes, giving viewers step-by-step instructions in the kitchen of the iconic Roslyn restaurant. They also gave a behindthe-scenes tour of their world-class Bryant & Cooper Butcher Shop & Retail Market, which is adjacent to the restaurant and open to the public. Speaking to the mission of the Guidance Center, George Poll said, “The work they do to help children and families struggling with mental health is significant. My brother Gillis, my wife Kristen and I are proud to be part of the Center’s continuing great work.”

The event, held over Zoom, also featured talented designer Susan Micelotta of White + One, who gave attendees tips on how to create a beautiful outdoor table setting for spring that is sure to impress. All the products shown are available at the Port Washington store. “I was proud to be a part of the Spring Lunch-In,” said Micelotta. “Children are our future and we need to make a better world for them to live in by supporting and giving all that

we can to organizations such as the Guidance Center.” Guidance Center Board Member Alexis Siegel, who joined the Poll brothers and Micelotta as the event’s gracious hostess, was thrilled at the Spring Lunch-In’s success. “We’re so grateful to George, Gillis and Susan for their dedication to our work,” said Siegel, who co-chaired the event with Jan Ashley and Amy Cantor “The pandemic has created a real mental health crisis, with children,

teens and their families experiencing high levels of anxiety and depression. I’m proud to be part of an organization that addresses these needs with compassion and expertise.” Guidance Center Board Member and Spring Lunch-In committee member Jo-Ellen Hazan, who joined Siegel at the lunch and was instrumental in planning the event, said, “The Guidance Center is blessed to have so many wonderful community members who support our mission. Their dedication makes our work possible.” The Guidance Center is looking forward to returning to Glen Head Country Club for next year’s Spring Luncheon, an in-person fundraiser on April 28, 2022. The highly anticipated event will feature card games, mahjong and a delicious buffet. All proceeds for the Spring LunchIn support the Guidance Center’s work to bring hope and healing to the children and families in our local communities.

Fifth Graders Engineer Working Wind Turbines

xploring the process of engineering design, fifth-grade students at James H. Vernon School in the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District developed working wind turbines out of repurposed materials and showcased them in their school. The exhibit was the culmination of two months of hard work that left students with a deeper understanding of the design process and the satisfaction of achieving a working product after numerous rounds of trial and error. For weeks, students brainstormed, problem-solved, tested and

retested their designs until they finally achieved a turbine that worked to their satisfaction. The project was led by fifth-grade science teachers Diana Hauser, Frank Sommo, Jamie Stainkamp and fifth-grade inclusion teachers Diana Boucher and Heather Russell, and was inspired by the book, Leif Catches the Wind, a story about a boy who lives in Denmark and his cousin Dana who work together to solve a mechanical engineering problem. —Submitted by Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District

It’s a way of saying thank you and showing gratitude.” Visit www.foreverfunentertainers. com to find out more about how Carol Klein is giving back to the Levittown community What did you think of this article?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR WHY I AM RUNNING FOR THE JERICHO SCHOOL BOARD Through the tireless efforts of Jericho parents, teachers and students, we have built a public school system that is the envy of communities in New York State and across the country. However, even the best institutions will decline without vigilant and innovative leadership. As a regular attendee of Jericho School Board meetings for almost a decade, I have witnessed a meaningful deterioration in the quality of discussion, debate and communication by our board members. As a parent of three Jericho students (9th grade, 8th grade, 6th grade), it is this concern that leads me to run for the Jericho School Board in the May 18 election. The Jericho School Board

in recent years has failed to provide proper direction for the district and to promote the interests of our community. Key areas of concern, where my professional background, personal experience and balanced judgment would significantly improve the board’s performance, include: • Budget—The board alarmingly provides little guidance on and oversight of the district’s budgeting process. The $120+ million budget is prepared and presented by the administration and then adopted by the board with minimal review or analysis. • Transparency—The board brazenly refuses to share pertinent information on

major issues. In the past two years the district has created (i) a co-principal structure at the high school and (ii) a new assistant principal position for the middles school/high school, without delineating these new roles or having an honest conversation about this growth in district administrative personnel and costs. • Representation—The board has unabashedly abdicated its responsibility to protect our community. Members ignored their duty in deciding to not immediately inform residents about plans to establish the mega-shelter for homeless families. • Process—The board’s decision-making routine

is often haphazard. By its own admission, the board followed no formal procedure or established criteria in deciding recently to rename one of our elementary schools. • Hiring—The board mistakenly does not require comprehensive searches for all senior administrative positions. A proper search process not only identifies the right candidate but also allows for the introduction of new ideas and perspectives. I look forward to discussing these and other issues during the campaign and highlighting how I would work to correct these deficiencies. I ask for your consideration in the May election. —Sam Perlman

Old Westbury Gardens Announces Reopening

Timed tickets now on sale for season

isitors have a lot to look forward to this season at the world-renowned Old Westbury Gardens. The gardens have reopened to the public with required reservations, which can be made in advance online. In addition to 200 acres of formal gardens, landscaped grounds, woodlands, ponds and lakes to enjoy, the Old Westbury Gardens team is offering a series of new, captivating programs to engage visitors’ horticultural, artistic and historic passions. The line-up will kick-off in June with a brandnew inaugural Garden Days event, followed by the launch of The Great Pine Railway at Old Westbury Gardens, and made complete by the return of the popular Poetica Musica Concert series. “It has been an unprecedented year, but, we’ve all come to find comfort in the outdoors, and especially beautiful Gardens,” said Nancy Costopulos, President and CEO of Old Westbury Gardens. “We are thrilled to welcome guests back, and we are looking forward to launching our new special weekend event to bring garden lovers together to share in the love and knowledge of gardening.” From Friday, June 11 through Sunday, June 13, Old Westbury Gardens will host its first-ever Garden Days event. On Saturday, the Gardens will feature an exclusive collection of vendors from across the Northeast. In addition, noted designer Christopher Spitzmiller will be signing his new book, A Year at Clove Brook Farm: Gardening, Tending Flocks, Keeping Bees, Collecting Antiques, and Entertaining Friends. Visitors will have access to unique and rare perennials and annuals, unusual exotics and container specialties, decorative

garden furniture, urns, statuary and horticultural curiosities. Regional garden enthusiasts who attend will discover innovative trends in horticulture and ornamental gardening. Exclusive tours of private gardens of the North Shore will also be available on Sunday, June 13, with more information available in the coming weeks. Another brand-new exhibit coming this season will be The Great Pine Railway at Old Westbury Gardens, which arrives on Saturday, June 19. Visitors of all ages will be amazed by the outdoor G-gauge railroad display, featuring exquisite model trains chugging along a landscaped backdrop. The exhibit will be complete with an artful replica of Westbury House and other iconic Long Island country homes, created specifically for Old Westbury Gardens. The attraction will run through Monday, September 6, and be included with the price of admission. “We’re incredibly excited to

welcome The Great Pine Railway at Old Westbury Gardens. I think visitors will really enjoy the stunning trains, and especially the replica of Westbury House. It’s the perfect attraction to have outdoors this season, and we’re pleased to offer something visitors can really look forward to after a scaled-back season last year,” added Costopulos. Lastly, visitors will be pleased by the return of the popular Poetica Musica Concert series. On Saturday, May 22 at 7 p.m., Just We Three will perform the works of Bach, Mozart and Durufle, followed by Serenade of Strings, set to perform the works of Dvorak and Borodin on Saturday, June 5 at 7 p.m. Tickets for both concerts are $20 for students, seniors and members, and $25 for general admission. Tickets must be purchased online in advance, with limited supply available. While visitors will have unlimited access to the Gardens this season, Westbury House will reopen June 1.

Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams Launches Its First Outdoor Collection BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

enowned for its commitment to comfort, American manufacturing and sustainability since 1989, furniture and home decor brand Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams is honored to introduce its first-ever outdoor collection. “It has been a dream of mine to extend our product line outside because having a beautiful and comfortable outdoor living space means so much to me personally,” said Co-founder and President of Design Bob Williams. “For many years, interior designers and our customers have asked us for this, and we felt now was the time to bring our point of view on this area of the home into being. The premium handcrafted pieces are sophisticated and aimed at those seeking more from their pool, lounge and dining spaces. “As our homes increasingly become seamless multi-functional spaces, the outdoor area is now as important as any room in the house in being a place of connection, engagement and gratitude for

everything that defines comfort,” said Allison O’Connor, president and CEO. “Homes are conscious expressions of life and carry deeply important meaning for the people who live in them.” The collection encompasses two styles, each with 11 pieces: the beautifully curved Del Mar in sustainable premium-grade weathered solid teak and the clean-lined Bauhausinfluenced Sanibel in handcrafted cast aluminum. For seating, generous ultra-comfortable cushions in easy-care European Performance Fabrics are available in a choice of eight nature-inspired hues. Rounding out the collection are American-made umbrellas, outdoor pillows from MG+BW and Sunbrella with outdoor furniture covers to protect your investment. “Our intention with MG+BW Outdoor is to create serene and luxurious exterior

living spaces that connect people with the natural world, inspiring them to savor time outside and grounding them in the beauty and comfort of priceless moments spent in peace and with loved ones,” said O’Connor. “We see our entry into the outdoor category as a natural extension of our brand, which is built around the definition of comfort.” The collection launched on March 29 on the brand’s website (www.mgbwhome.com), and will be presented in signature stores on April 26. “We have carefully curated the collection to ensure each piece is intentionally designed for comfort, elegance and easy care that are crafted from premium materials that stand the test of time,” said Williams.

COLUMN

Goodbye And Fly High This will be my final column for Anton Media Group. My first was 15 years ago, in 2007, when I was appointed to serve as executive director for North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center. After 45 years, I will be retiring in July. Many thanks to publisher Angela Anton for graciously inviting me to share my opinions in this space, roughly 150 times. Although I was first invited to write in my professional role with the Guidance Center, there was never any doubt that what I wrote was in my own voice, representing only my views. No explicit disclaimer was needed. The way I wrote made that clear. I wrote about mental health issues such as depression, suicide, bullying, stigma and discrimination. A few columns centered around well-known people like musician Bruce Springsteen and former Congress member Patrick Kennedy, who have been transparent about their struggles with mental illness and addiction. I reviewed books and films

ANDREW MALEKOFF

in which mental illness and addiction were core themes. Some columns were written to advance my advocacy work and to educate the public. For example, I wrote about lax enforcement of federal and state laws that were enacted to require health insurers to provide access to quality mental health and addiction care, on par with physical care. As a former scholastic and collegiate athlete, I wrote

about the value of athletic participation in youth development, the long-lasting and life-threatening impact of concussions in contact sports and about the devastating impact of the loss of full seasons of athletic competition due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I platformed the homespun wisdom and common sense of many parents and grandparents as being as important as what can be learned in self-help books or on reality TV shows. In one column that I entitled the Advertising of Everyday Life, I wrote about my mom putting up a sign in my childhood home that read: “None of us in our business or social life can coast along on a reputation of past performances. It’s the good job we do today that counts.” As I stated in that 2008 column, I kept that sign after she died in 1997 and it hangs in my office at the Guidance Center today as a constant reminder to never rest on my laurels. The situational surround— the context of our daily

lives—provided me with many ideas for this column. Some of those themes included school shootings, immigration, Superstorm Sandy, health disparities, the killing of unarmed black men and women by police and, of course, the pandemic. I wrote about 9/11 on more than one anniversary, as a reminder to never forget those who were lost and those who were left behind. As the years unfolded, little by little I revealed more details about my personal life. What I had not anticipated when I started was that I would write about being a cancer survivor. After being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2010, although I was not secretive, I was quiet about it. As time passed and I was treated with radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and a stem cell transplant, I warmed to the idea of writing about what it was like living with a chronic, life-threatening disease. I thought that there had to be other readers who were fellow survivors, caregivers and

family members who could relate and maybe gain some strength from my message. On occasion, over the last 15 years, I received letters, email and phone calls from readers. They were mostly positive. I received a number of supportive messages regarding my struggle with cancer. A few objected to my opinions on controversial issues like structural racism or how the pandemic was being handled. I am grateful to all of my readers. Thank you, one and all. When I decided to join North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center in 1977, I saw it as a place where I could spread my wings. It was and I did. I could have never worked in a place or written for a publication that would seek to clip my wings. I recommend the same for you and your children. Encourage them to fly. Goodbye. And, remember to always fly high. —Andrew Malekoff is a New York State licensed social worker and an Anton columnist.

Time For DC To Be 51 In the next two years, the current U.S. Congress will probably be asked to consider making either Puerto Rico or Washington D.C. into the 51st state. Puerto Rico has so many financial problems, it is unlikely that Congress will want to have them on par with the other 50 states. But if ever there was a logical case for statehood, it is the District of Columbia. Few people are aware of how dependent the district is on the U.S.Congress. If the district were an orphan, Congress would be arrested for child abuse. Imagine a community of more than 700,000 people who have absolutely no say over any of their functions. They have a police department and they pick up garbage, but they need Congress to approve their annual budget. And if Congress is in the wrong hands, many of their services could be curtailed or eliminated. The district has an

INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer

elected City Council, but if the council passes some law that Congress doesn’t like, Congress could repeal the law. If the chair of the Congressional committee that deals with the district gets up on the wrong side of the bed, his committee can propose that there be a public referendum on some purely local issue. Imagine if you lived in a local village

and an elected official from 100 miles away had the right to propose some law governing your rights. If that happened you would start a loud public protest. What if you were a developer and you wanted to build a commercial building in the District of Columbia? You might stop by the city building department, but the laws governing height and other dimensions of structures are decided by the Height of Buildings Act passed by Congress in 1910. Occasionally, changes are made in the construction requirements, but in the end, Congress has the last word. There are some laws that make the district much different than other parts of the nation. Washington, D.C. has one of the strictest gun control laws in the nation. It has a ban on assault weapons and is strict on gun possession. From time to time,

(CC BY 2.0)

Congress tries to ease up on some of the gun restrictions, but most of the very tough gun laws are still in effect. A few years ago, Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio tried to revoke the ban on assault weapons, but his efforts failed. To call Washington, D.C. the laboratory for tampering by Congress is an understatement. Whether this new Congress will try to pass laws to make the district the 51st state is an open question. Consider

the fact that Vermont has a population of 624,000 and it has two U.S. senators and one Congressman. So maybe it’s time to give the 700,000 District residents a chance at statehood. —Former State Assemblyman Jerry Kremer is a columnist for Anton Media Group and partner at Ruskin Moscou Faltischek in Uniondale.

Sharing With Your Partner: Communicating Needs In A Relationship Having a good sense of your needs and being able to articulate and communicate them are important components of any relationship. Too often, I work with people who note that they push their needs aside, as they fear being seen as overbearing or clingy. It is imperative to realize that having needs does not make you needy. In order for us to feel a sense of security and derive satisfaction from our relationships, our partners must be able to understand our needs. For example, a partner’s needs may involve checking in with one another prior to making plans, having open and honest communication when there is an issue or being sure to go to bed together every night.

isn’t right or wrong; it simply is. Therefore, it is important to reserve any self-judgment when considering what your needs are. It is also important to realize that there may be times when your needs and those of your partner do not align. For example, your partner

may value a balance between time spent alone and time spent as a couple, whereas you desire to be together at all times. Some, aware of their partner’s seemingly incompatible belief, may choose not to share their own need for togetherness, which can have a long-lasting impact on the relationship. The partner unaware of the joy the other derives in spending time together may become more set in their ways and opt to spend even more time alone, essentially becoming more extreme in their views/practices. Again, this is neither right nor wrong, just a person operating on the assumption that meeting their need for alone time is perfectly fine in the context of the relationship.

Over time, your need for togetherness going unmet begins to create discomfort, which can lead to frustration or even animosity, creating a rift between you two. This is a result of the failure to articulate needs. So what should you do? Communicating your needs is key. Avoid being stifled by media portrayals, especially of women, who, when communicating their most basic needs in a relationship, are depicted as being overbearing or nagging. What remains unspoken in a relationship can lead to a great deal of strife, so sharing in an open and honest way is imperative. Additionally, when communicating your needs (i.e. for togetherness), it is paramount to articulate why

this need is important. Should your need for togetherness be rooted in previous threats to relationship security, your partner would benefit from knowing this. Sharing as much information as possible is helpful, as it provides your partner with important insight. Remember that even in situations in which partners’ needs seem incompatible, you may be able to jointly create solutions that benefit both of you. By sharing your needs, you allow for a deeper understanding of another and the possibility of working together as a team to make sure that each person is secure and fulfilled. —Dr. Marisa Cohen is a relationship scientist and coach, and teaches psychology at the college level.

Round Three Of Care COVID-19 Transportation Funding The Federal Transit Administration recently announced the availability of $30.5 billion in new funding from Washington. It will be provided as part of the $1.9 trillion CARE COVID-19 relief bill officially known as the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 passed by Congress and signed into law by President Biden on March 11. The plan includes $30.5 billion for public transportation, including $26.6 billion to be allocated by statutory formulas to urban and rural areas, tribal governments and for the enhanced mobility of seniors and individuals with disabilities and $2.2 billion to FTA grant recipients in communities that demonstrate additional pandemic-associated needs. The usual 20 percent local share requirement provided by any transit agency grant recipient has been waived. FTA grant funding will be provided at a 100-percent federal share. Federal funding should be used to cover operations and payroll costs of any transit agency. An additional $1.7 billion is provided for projects in the Capital Investment Grants (CIG) Program (system expansion projects such as the MTA New York City Transit Second Avenue Subway or LIRR Eastside Access to Grand Central Terminal) and another $25

Read Table 2 Urbanized Areas Apportionments for FTA’s Section 5307—www.transit. dot.gov/funding/apportionments/table-2-american-rescue-plan-act-urbanized-area-apportionments-section-5307. This represents the most critical source of funding. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York City Transit bus, subway and Staten Island Railway), MTA Bus (the former seven New York City-franchised private bus operators), LIRR, Metro North Rail Road and nonMTA transit agencies in the Metro New York area such as Nassau Inter County Express (NICE Bus), City of Long

Beach Bus, Suffolk County Transit, Huntington Area Rapid Transit (HART Bus), New York City Department of Transportation (Staten Island ferry), Westchester County Bee Line Bus, Rockland County Transit, Putnam County Bus and New Jersey Transit will receive funding under the NY/Newark/ NY-NJ-CT allocation of $8,400,382,749. The states of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut must come to an agreement on how to divide up these funds. This means all three governors, along with the MTA & New Jersey Transit. Once the split between the states is agreed upon, the state-sponsored local Metropolitan Planning Organizations must agree on splits. On the New York side of the Hudson River,

this means the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council. Voting members who must agree on the split of funding include the MTA, New York City, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Putnam County, Rockland County, Westchester County, City of Long Beach and Town of Huntington. The agreement must be unanimous. On the New Jersey side of the Hudson, this means the North Jersey Transportation Council. Key voting members who must agree on the split include New Jersey Transit and the Port Authority. My old colleagues at the FTA Region 2 Office can’t proceed with assignment of grant numbers until notified that the splits have been agreed upon. This is how the MTA will eventually receive the $6.5 billion Senate Majority leader Schumer talks about. Commuters, taxpayers, transit advocates and local elected officials might be curious about the following. We already know that the MTA successfully applied for and spent previous funding made available in March 2020 (CARE COVID-19 $3.9 billion—first round). What about the January 2021 (CARE COVID-19 $4 billion—second round) What is their schedule to apply for these two other rounds of funding? What will the scope of work be for? How

many years will be needed to spend $10.4 billion? Albany provides the MTA significant annual funding under the Statewide Transportation Operating Assistance (STOA) program. Via FTA grants which provide cash, riders and motorists continue to pay their fair share. Uncle Sam did even more by providing $3.9 billion under last year’s first, this years second $4 billion and third $6.5 billion third CARE COVID-19 aid packages for a total of $14 billion. In 2020, the FTA provided the MTA with $1.4 billion in annual formula funding under various grant programs. In 2021, this should increase to $1.5 billion. With receipt of billions under the third CARE COVID-19 funding, New York City Mayor de Blasio and New York State Governor Cuomo have sufficient revenue to balance their respective budget shortfalls. They have no excuses to pay a significant portion of their respective fair shares of $3.5 billion each previously agree to provide toward the MTA $51 billion 2020-24 Five Year Capital Plan and more in annual operating assistance.

Planned by the federal Public Works Administration as a Depression-era infrastructure project between 1938 and 1940, the Nassau County Courthouse has been the centerpiece of the Nassau County Court campus for 80 years. “It gives me great pride that this incredible structure has earned its place on the list of historic places and I thank Dan Looney, deputy executive assistant district attorney for his decades of diligent research that led to this recognition,” County Executive Curran said. “Justice requires constant maintenance, so do her courthouses—and this recognition not only highlights this historic gem, but could lead to funding that will help preserve its history for another 80 years to come.” Singas added, “When the Nassau County Courthouse was constructed in 1940 it was regal, state of the art and created a sense of civic pride.

Massapequa Art Students Create Hope Hope rocks created by art students at Massapequa High School turned into hope for children battling cancer, as the school used the money raised from selling the rocks to make a donation to the Cancer Center for Kids at NYU Langone Hospital. The project began last year, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, with students in Penny Schneider’s Drawing and Painting, Studio in Art and Sculpture classes making rocks out of clay with inspirational messages. They raised $415 and the initial intent was to donate it to a preschool for children going through

cancer treatment. But with that facility not operating during the pandemic, Schneider and her students looked for another organization to donate to, and recently selected the Cancer Center for Kids. Students also created a card to be sent with the check. The cover of the card features an illustration of a bear holding balloons. The balloons are the fingerprints of Massapequa art students, who dipped their fingers in blue, red and yellow paint. —Submitted by the Massapequa School District

Town Of Oyster Bay Waives Fees, Expands Outdoor Dining Options

yster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and members of the Town Board gathered on National “Mom and Pop Business Owners Day” at 387 Bistro & Bar in Plainview to announce that the town will continue its efforts to boost the restaurant industry by waiving all fees to encourage outdoor dining opportunities through 2021. “We have worked tirelessly since this pandemic began to help local businesses come back safely and effectively,” Supervisor Saladino said. “We cut the red tape, waived fees and allowed for new outdoor dining options for restaurant patrons, helping owners open safely and successfully. We are pleased to continue with that effort, inviting restaurants to extend their outdoor dining services through 2021 and recoup on their investments of items such as tents, heaters and other coverings.”

The Supervisor noted while these investments helped many remain open in some capacity, a survey of New York restaurants late last year indicated that upwards of 60 percent could close without government funded financial assistance. Simultaneously, New York State released statistics which indicated that bars and restaurants account for only 1.4 percent of new statewide cases of COVID. “These continued arbitrary rules, including 11 p.m. curfews, are unfair to restaurant owners,” Councilman Lou Imbroto said. “We are urging New York State to fully eliminate these restrictions as these businesses have been through enough. The restaurant industry has already proven they can do what’s necessary to maintain safety protocols and keep customers and employees safe. Let’s let them get back to work.” —Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay

Pravato Reminds Residents Second Half School Taxes Due

Town of Oyster Bay Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato reminds Town residents that the Second Half of the 2020-21 School Tax Levy is due on April 1, but can be paid without penalty through May 10. “New York State Law allows my office to provide taxpayers with a 40 day penalty free period from the date the tax is due during which payment may be made without penalty,” Pravato said. “After the 40 days, State Law requires a one percent penalty be added for each month the tax remains unpaid, retroactive to November 1 for the first half payment and April 1 for the second half payment. Don’t delay, make your payment before May 10 to ensure you aren’t paying more out of pocket than you need to.” Pravato continued, “During this public health crisis, the Tax Office has been fully operational but has suspended in office interactions. We have outdoor walk up windows at Town Hall North, 74 Audrey Ave., Oyster Bay, and Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville R.d, Massapequa, and are now open daily from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. to assist residents and accept payments with either a check or money order. No cash or credit card payments will be accepted. On May 7 and May 10 both offices will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. When paying in person, residents are

reminded to bring the entire tax bill.” Residents who prefer to mail in their payments, should send them to the Office of the Receiver of Taxes, 74 Audrey Ave., Oyster Bay, N.Y. 11771-1539. Please make your check payable to Jeffrey P. Pravato, Receiver of Taxes and indicate your property’s Section, Block and Lot and telephone number on the check. Tax payments may also be made online through a link on the town website, www.oysterbaytown.com. Residents may view tax bills, print out a hard copy or pay taxes with an ACH check payment for a reduced fee of 75 cents, or by credit card for a much higher fee charged by the credit card companies. The Town of Oyster Bay receives no portion of this fee. “This tax bill reflects the new Nassau County reassessment,” Pravato said. “If your School Tax bill increased more than the budgeted increase set, it is due to the effects of the County reassessment. Any questions regarding your property assessment should be directed to the Assessor’s office at 516-571-1500.” Residents may contact the Tax Office with any questions about their tax bill at 516-624-6400 or email receiveroftaxes@ oysterbay-ny.gov. —Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay

County Announces Vaccine Milestone

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran announced last week that 500,000 residents will have received their first COVID-19 shot, or approximately half of the county’s adult population. With four county Department of Health vaccination sites, a designated hotline for seniors and veterans, robust partnerships with community providers, and a unique pre-registration vaccination website, Nassau County has become a model of the COVID-19 vaccination distribution in New York. Nassau currently has the highest percentage of residents (36.7 percent) with at least dose of the vaccine among state counties with population >500,000. “The county has been leading the State in vaccinations and we will continue to move full speed ahead to get our residents protected against this deadly virus,” Curran said. “Thank you to the award-winning Department of Health and the fantastic Medical Reserve Corp. volunteers who have been doing an extraordinary job at

swiftly vaccinating our population. The vaccine is our passport back to normal and we have been building up infrastructure as supply and eligibly increase. I am proud that we have reached the milestone of half a million residents vaccinated, but we are not stopping here. Next week eligibility opens up to all residents 16 and up and Nassau County stands ready to get doses into arms.” The county also established a designated way for veterans and seniors to receive appointments. Veterans can make an appointment through the Nassau County Veterans Service Agency by calling 516-572-6565. A hotline for seniors was also created to get shots in the arms of the vulnerable. Seniors can make an appointment by calling 516-227-9590. For more information on the vaccine and for available appointments at County and partner locations, visit www.nassaucountyny.gov/ vaccine. —Submitted by the office of Laura Curran

Nassau County will continue to work alongside our state and federal partners to combat hatred with action that will deter violence, protect our residents, and educate the public.” Farrah Mozawalla, Executive

Director of the Office of Asian American Affairs added, “We are here to stand vigil for the victims of the shooting in Atlanta, Georgia. We honor each life lost at the hands of atrocious, violent hate, and we are committed to raising awareness of the anti-Asian discrimination that has swept the country. Nassau County has no place for hatred, violence, and inhumanity.” Event speakers included Pastor Steven Na from the Edge City Church in New Hyde Park, Dr. Isma Chaudhry from the Islamic Center of Long Island, Bishop Lionel Harvey from the First Baptist Cathedral of Westbury, Olivia Wong from New Hyde Park Memorial High School, Commissioner Shirley Shing from the Nassau County Human Rights Commission, and Rabbi Susan Elkodsi from the Malverne Jewish Center.

Legislature Announces Hearing On Anti-Asian Violence Across the United States, acts of anti-Asian hate crimes and incidents have occurred with an alarming frequency during the pandemic. More than 3800 anti-Asian incidents were reported nationwide in 2020. There was an increase of 149 percent anti-Asian hate crimes in America’s 16 largest cities in 2020. Nassau County has one of the largest growing Asian populations in the country. Demographic estimates show that Asian Americans constitute around 10 percent of Nassau’s population. It is imperative that the Legislature ensure that the Nassau County Police Department and District Attorney’s Office are prepared and ready to act on and prosecute acts of hatred and violence. Last week, Nassau County Legislature Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello announced

that the Legislature’s Public Safety Committee will conduct a hearing on anti-Asian incidents, and the preparedness of the Nassau County Police Department in the event that an attack occurs. The hearing will also focus on how the county combats and prevents other hate crimes and discrimination, including anti-Semitism and racial attacks. “We strongly condemn hate crimes of any kind and are particularly concerned about the rise in anti-Asian incidents. They will not be tolerated in Nassau County,” Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello said. “We have scheduled a public safety hearing to ensure that the NCPD is proactively acting to prevent hate crimes and protect our residents, houses of worship and businesses It is important to send a

Major Case Bureau report the arrest of a Pennsylvania man that occurred on March 23 at 10:02 p.m. in Hicksville. According to detectives, as part of Operation Natalie, COPE officers on patrol observed a black Hyundai Sonata traveling southbound on South Oyster Bay Road, committing multiple vehicle and traffic law infractions. Officers activated their emergency lights and conducted a stop. The operator of the vehicle then parked, exited the vehicle and began to walk away from the officers while making furtive movements toward his front right pants pocket. Officers observed a black knife within his front right pants pocket and attempted to safely secure the knife from the subject. The subject became verbally combative with officers, refusing to comply with their commands and actively resisted arrest. After a brief struggle 33-yearold defendant Frank Randolph was placed into custody. An investigation was conducted with The Secret Service, New York State Department of Motor Vehicles and Pennsylvania Criminal Intelligence Center. Randolph was found to be in possession of the following items: Forty-six glassine envelopes containing a substance believed to be heroin, a substance believed to be methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, equipment to manufacture and fabricate fraudulent documents, re-encoded forged credit cards, 109 blank credit card templates, 22 blank chip credit cards, three credit card reading devices, equipment for fabricating identifications and credit cards, personal account information of an unknown victim, a forged Rhode Island driver’s license, 54 governmental ID holograms belonging to various states and a blank Social Security card.

According to detectives, officers responded to a residence on Scott Road for reports of an intoxicated male in need of medical assistance. Upon arrival, police were informed that 69-year-old Michael Battah had made threats to harm the officers responding. Officers contacted Battah,who was still inside the home when they arrived and persuaded him to come outside. Battah was combative as he exited the residence with a knife in his hand and he continued to approach the officers, ignoring their verbal commands for him to drop the knife. Police were forced to utilize an ECD (taser) to subdue him and safely secure the knife from the subject. While police attempted to place him into custody, Battah refused to comply with their commands and actively resisted. After a brief struggle, he was placed under arrest and transported to a local hospital for treatment and evaluation.

Dated: March 26,2021 THE NASSAU COUNTY TREASURER Mineola, New York TERMS OF SALE Such tax liens shall be sold subject to any and all superior tax liens of sovereignties and other municipalities and to all claims of record which the County may have thereon and subject to the provisions of the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts. However, such tax liens shall

have priority over the County’s Differential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the interest and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased. The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/ or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a tax lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser’s rights with respect to the lien(s) and the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act(FIRREA),12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et.seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(FDIC) receivership. The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premises herein listed. The Nassau County Treasurer reserves the right to intervene in any bankruptcy case/litigation where the property affected by the tax liens sold by the Treasurer is part of the bankruptcy estate. However, it is the sole responsibility of all tax lien purchasers to protect their legal interests in any bankruptcy case affecting their purchased tax lien, including but not limited to the filing of a proof of claim on their behalf, covering their investment in said tax lien. The Nassau County Treasurer and Nassau County and its agencies, assumes no responsibility for any legal representation of any tax lien purchaser in any legal proceeding including but not limited to a bankruptcy case where the purchased tax lien is at risk. The rate of interest and penalty at which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Treasurer ten per cent of the amount for which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety per cent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety per cent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Treasurer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all amounts deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limited to the ten per cent theretofore paid by him shall, without further

notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the agreement to purchase shall be of no further effect. Time is of the essence in this sale. This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of the sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale. Furthermore, as to the bidding, 1. The bidder(s) agree that they will not work with any other bidder(s) to increase, maintain or stabilize interest rates or collaborate with any other bidder(s) to gain an unfair competitive advantage in the random number generator in the event of a tie bid(s) on a tax certificate. Bidder(s) further agree not to employ any bidding strategy designed to create an unfair competitive advantage in the tiebreaking process in the upcoming tax sale nor work with any other bidder(s) to engage in any bidding strategy that will result in a rotational award of tax certificates. 2. The tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) bid, will be arrived at independently and without direct or indirect consultation, communication or agreement with any other bidder and that the tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) to be bid, have not been disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder, and will not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder prior to the close of bidding. No attempt has been made or will be made to, directly or indirectly, induce any other bidder to refrain from bidding on any tax certificate, to submit complementary bids, or to submit bids at specific interest rates. 3. The bids to be placed by the Bidder will be made in good faith and not pursuant to any direct or indirect, agreement or discussion with, or inducement from, any other bidder to submit a complementary or other noncompetitive bid. 4. If it is determined that the bidder(s) have violated any of these bid requirements then their bid shall be voided and if they were the successful bidder the lien and any deposits made in connection with said bid shall be forfeited.

Village To Receive $2M Mayor Trouvé Presides In ‘Rescue’ Funding Over Final Board Meeting The village will receive COVID relief funding through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, a $1.9 trillion relief bill signed into law last month. The stimulus package provides $360 billion in direct financial relief for state and local governments, including $65 billion for America’s cities, villages and towns, as well as $65 billion for counties. The village is expected to receive an estimated $110 per capita. With about 22,000 residents, funding would total approximately $2.4 million, village treasurer Irene Woo announced during last Wednesday’s budget session. The funding will be delivered in tranches; the first half is expected to be received within the next three months, and the second half 12 months after the first payment is received. Unlike FEMA funding, the relief will arrive before the village reports how the funding is being used. Use of funds has recently been expanded to now include any COVID-related revenue losses as well as water, sewer and broadband infrastructure improvements.

“The village can really take advantage of this, since the village has experienced COVID-related revenue losses at the pool and in the recreation department. The village is also incurring water infrastructure improvement costs,” Woo said. “Once funding is received, the board of trustees will direct those funds as they see fit within the guidelines.” The U.S. Department of the Treasury is currently working on the regulations that will provide more detail and guidance. —Submitted by the Village of Garden City

She addressed her fellow board members, the executive staff, her family and residents. “I have come to the last board of trustees meeting in my career,” she said. “Being the second woman to serve as mayor in 100 years in our Incorporated Village of Garden City was my greatest honor. I want to thank all of you for the support and kindness that I felt come through from you in all of our interactions. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. When decisions were challenging, I tried to remain faithful to what I felt my residents wanted. “It has been a wonderful period of my life and I am happy that I found the courage to say yes. I have spent 12 years of my life serving our village—about five years as a member of the Central and East POAs and seven years on the board of trustees, five as a trustee and two as mayor. I consider it one of the most golden periods of my life. So, yes, I want to thank our entire community,

Garden City Resident Honored By PSEG LI Garden City resident Paola Moreno was recognized by PSEG Long Island for Women in Construction Week (March 7-13) and Women’s History Month. Moreno, who holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and a master’s degree in technological systems management, is a field supervisor in the Substation Maintenance department at PSEG Long Island. “Being a woman in a male-dominated industry helps to debunk myths or potential unconscious biases,” Moreno said. “When I am out in the field, I see the contributions women are making. Men and women think differently, and their approaches to problem-solving and troubleshooting construction and operational issues are often not the same. Having a team of men and women together on a job site can result in better solutions and outcomes on a project.” Moreno’s job entails planning and leading maintenance work for all substations in central Nassau County,

Usually, you know just what you want. Desire typically announces itself with all the subtlety of a flashing neon sign in the downtown storefront window of your mind. Not this time though. This time, it’s starting deep within the earth of you, a subtle stirring and you won’t be entirely sure what it is until it surfaces this week.

Fun in the water Solution: 14 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your list of favorite people is growing so long it no longer follows the rules of favoritism. If everyone is special, then no one is, right? Then so be it. Your caring heart dictates that you treat others with the warmth you’d give to extended family and the sort of attention typically bestowed on honored guests. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is no need to announce your plans, just execute them with quiet grace, involving as few people as possible. You’ll have success with running your business under the radar; distractions and hindrances will be few. By giving the opposition nothing to resist, you create ease for yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your Venus-ruled nature lends an innate understanding of beauty’s path, which typically crosses through many awkward and even downright ugly stages on its way to the blossom. Understanding that gorgeousness takes time, you embrace the entire journey with fondness and nonjudgment for each and every moment. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will be inclined to fine-tune your image. It’s not out of vanity; rather, it’s an effort to make yourself a better fit for the people you’re trying to serve. Your deepest desire is to help others. You’ll do what it takes to be both accessible and attractive to the ones who need your offerings. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Harmony starts with a simple question. “What can we agree on?” The week features mutually beneficial arrangements. Stay open-minded as good relationships come in unlikely forms. You’ll be surprised by just how little you have in common with a person who, nonetheless, makes your life undeniably better. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You already know that what disturbs people is not what happens, but their take on what happens. Even so, it’s hard to change a “take.” It’s built on a lifetime of learning. A change of belief can happen in an instant, but it could also take years. So the question becomes: What work is worthy of my devoted effort? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll have trouble letting go of things beyond your control and trying not to think about them won’t work. However, there’s luck to be had from going even bigger -- pondering the vastness to gain a different perspective of your own role in it. Your will is mighty and can do a lot of good when applied to the right things. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You encourage those around you and your support is a big reason why they shine. Even so, be careful not to foster any kind of dependency here. When they can fly without you, it’s a perpetual win. You’re an integral part in a beautiful cycle. You’ll do this again in a different arena. Don’t hold on too tight to any win.

he FSC baseball team hosted Purchase College on March 24 for a Skyline Conference doubleheader and won both games. Farmingdale State junior pitcher Stephen Clancy (Mineola) (W, 2-0, 1 H, 5 K) started and threw five shutout innings in the 7-1 game one win before freshman first baseman Jordan Lambert (Plainview) hit a walkoff sacrifice fly in the 10th inning of game two to lead the Rams to the 8-7 victory. After Clancy tossed a 1-2-3 first

inning with a pair of strikeouts, FSC (5-1, 5-0 Skyline) loaded the bases with two outs for Lambert, who lined a bases-clearing double into right-center field to give the Rams an early 3-0 advantage. In the bottom of the third the Rams scored three runs to go up 7-0. Sophomore right fielder Bobby Pollock (Manorville) hit a leadoff double and reached third on an error before junior designated hitter Ryan DePalma (Albertson) walked. The next batter, Lambert,

hit a sacrifice fly to put Farmingdale State ahead by five. After a single by White, freshman shortstop Thomas Secaira (Bay Shore) hit a two-run double down the right field line to give the Rams the 7-0 advantage. Farmingdale State took a six-run lead into the top of the seventh as sophomore Thomas Messina (New Hyde Park) entered and set down the Panthers (4-6, 2-6 Skyline) to clinch FSC’s 7-1 victory. Lambert led the way for the Rams as he was 1-for-1 with a double, walk and

four runs batted in. DePalma tallied two runs scored apiece. All nine FSC batters reached base safely in the game. The Rams were held scoreless in the bottom of the ninth as the game went into extra innings. Lambert, who hit a sacrifice fly to right field, drove in a runner on base, securing the Rams 8-7 victory. The Rams next travel to play St. Joseph’s-Brooklyn in a Skyline doubleheader on Saturday, April 10, at noon. —Submitted by Farmingdale State College
