TOP STORY

Family Business Continues To Thrive A fifth-generation family business celebrates renovation in Woodbury

NATALIA VENTURA nventura@antonmediagroup.com

K

ravet Inc. has recently opened its brand new Woodbury showroom on Tuesday, May 10. It sits alongside the new corporate headquarters, marking a new and thrilling era for the company.

The new renovation was completed with sustainability kept in mind. The building now includes solar panels and energy-efficient lighting. The new showroom is triple the size of their Bethpage location.

The Woodbury showroom includes fabric, wall covering, furniture, trim, decor and more across Kravet, Lee Jofa, Brunschwig & Fils, GP & J Baker, Donghia, CuratedKravet, Kravet Contract. All the company’s distributed brands are featured and include Clarke & Clarke, Cole & Son, Blithfield, Winfield Thybony, Metaphores and more. This new showroom highlights an assortment of luxury furniture, including carpet, wall covering and branded boutiques. Designers can work together with their clients or the Kravet staff in private Designer Studios in the showroom, offering a professional and productive environment.

The new showroom includes a Kravet Workspace, where the fabrics are sorted by color for easier decision-making. Clients can also utilize the showroom’s digital peg board to peruse through the products offered by simply scanning a bar code and viewing similar items that may be related to their search. Digital tear sheets for pricing and record keeping can also be printed for customers.

A new addition to the showroom is The Shade Store, where designers can develop custom window treatments with a 10 percent discount when selecting a Kravet fabric.

Adjacent to the showroom and offices is the renowned Kravet Textile Archive. The archive holds one of the most impressive collections of original documents and artwork from all over the world, some even dating as far back as the 2nd Century.

There are more than 32,000 pieces in the archive that are organized by design period, construction and country of origin. It is like holding a piece of history directly in your hands. The Kravet archive is visible to designers through a glass divider, where they can view Kravet product developers at work preserving the various documents.

headquarters,”Cary Kravet said. “While the square footage is substantially larger than where we were previously, the environment feels much warmer and more inviting. It is analogous to a new, well-designed and

decorated home. It just feels right. When our COVID-19 protocols permit, we look forward to inviting all of our designer friends to visit our new home. Until then, please come and feel comfortable in our

new showroom.”

According to archivist Lina Forrester, the Kravet archive “...is so expansive that it covers literally the whole globe. We have Japanese kimonos, we have Japanese prints, we have Shibori, which is a shibori Japanese tie dye. We [recently] acquired from a mill in France our newest, biggest collection of tapestries, textiles and art. It was [on] the border of Belgium and France and the mill was huge during the end of the 1800s and early 1900s and they had about 7,000 workers, which is really large for a mill at that time. We also have Tapa, which is like bark cloth and I think it’s one of the most primitive materials made.”

In order to keep everything within the archive well preserved, the room is temperature controlled and humidity controlled.

The temperature is constantly checked to ensure that it stays between a certain degree, between 40 and 60 is optimal.

About 10 years ago, Kravet Inc. purchased a company that was a former competitor. The business was in distress according to Scott Kravet.

“They were very French focused, with beautiful museum quality pieces,” Kravet explained. “We’ve probably had it for [around] 10 years. I’ve seen half of it.”

He added, “We’re trying to also repair and categorize a few things. The whole purpose of the archive is to share it either with customers, employees, students and anyone who has any interest in it. People are curious as to what’s here. We’re restoring a lot of these items, and they have new life. It’s terrific. These pieces are quite large and can be reinterpreted to print, weave or as a wall covering.”

Sometimes there are missing pieces of tapestries and Kravet Inc. tries to complete it by discovering the missing parts.

“It’s a big jigsaw puzzle, but it’s nice when I can go to different countries and find different pieces,” Scott Kravet said.

Kravet Inc. was established in 1918 and has since then been the leader in the home furnishings industry. Their fifth-generation family business distributes fabrics, furniture, wall coverings, trimmings, carpets and accessories. In 1902, Samuel Kravet, a tailor from Russia, arrived in the United States and tailored in New York City.

S.Kravet & Sons was founded with Samuel Kravet’s four sons—Morris, Sam, Sol and Hy—selling fabric and trimmings to the interior design trade in 1918. S. Kravet & Sons became known as Kravet Fabrics, Inc. in 1960. The corporate office and warehouse was then built in Woodbury in 1963.

During the 1980’s, the fourth generation of the Kravet family entered the business— Cary, Lisa, Scott and Ellen Kravet. New warehouses were developed in Bethpage, New York and Anderson, SC. Kravet Inc. recently celebrated its centennial in 2018.

Twelve Long Island School Districts To Close On Diwali In 2022 Hindus call for Diwali holiday in all Long Island schools

W

Rajan Zed (Contributed photo)

T

elcoming 12 Long Island public school districts closing schools on Diwali this year, Hindus are urging all public school districts and private, charter, parochial, and independent schools in Nassau and Suffolk counties to close on their most popular festival Diwali.

Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, said that it was simply not fair with Hindu pupils of most of the Long Island schools, as they had to be at school on their most popular festival while there were holidays to commemorate festivals of other religions.

Diwali falls on Oct. 24 this year; and 2022-23 calendars of Deer Park, East Meadow, East Williston, Elwood Union Free, Half Hollow Hills Central, Herricks Public, Hicksville Public, Jericho Union Free, Levittown Public, New Hyde Park-Garden City Park Union Free, North Babylon, Syosset Central School-Districts/Schools; show their schools closed for students on Oct. 24.

Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, stated that holiday on Diwali in Long Island schools would be a step in the positive direction in view of the reported presence of a substantial number of Hindu students at schools, as it was vital to meet the religious and spiritual needs of Hindu pupils.

Zed indicated that since it was important for Hindu families to celebrate Diwali day together at home with their children; closing schools on Diwali would ensure that and would also display how respectful and accommodating Long Island schools were to their faith.

If schools had declared other religious holidays, why not Diwali, Zed asked. Holidays of all major religions should be honored, and no one should be penalized for practicing their religion, Zed added.

Zed suggested that all Long Island schools, public, private, charter, parochial, and independent, to seriously look into

declaring Diwali as an official holiday, thus recognizing the intersection of spirituality and education. Zed noted that awareness about ‘other’ religions thus created by such holidays like Diwali would make Long Island students well-nurtured, well-balanced, and enlightened citizens of tomorrow.

Zed thanked boards of education of school districts, which closed schools for students on Diwali, for understanding the concerns of Hindu community.

Zed further said that Hinduism is rich in festivals and religious festivals are very dear and sacred to Hindus. Diwali, the festival of lights, aims at dispelling the darkness and lighting up the lives and symbolizes the victory of good over evil.

Hinduism is the oldest and third largest religion of the world with about 1.2 billion adherents and moksh (liberation) is its ultimate goal. There are about three million Hindus in the USA. —Submitted by Rajan Zed

COVER STORY

Have Food Allergies? Read The Label

F

ood labels can help consumers with food allergies avoid foods or ingredients that they or their families are allergic to.

This is because a federal law, the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004, requires that the labels of most packaged foods marketed in the U.S. disclose—in simple-to-understand terms—when they are made with a “major food allergen.”

Eight foods and ingredients containing their proteins are defined as major food allergens.

These foods account for the large majority of severe food allergic reactions: • milk • egg • fish, such as bass, flounder or cod • crustacean shellfish, such as crab, lobster or shrimp • tree nuts, such as almonds, pecans or walnuts • wheat • peanuts • soybeans The law requires that food labels identify the food source of all major food allergens used to make the food. This requirement is met if the common or usual name of an ingredient already identifies that allergen’s food source name (for example, buttermilk). Otherwise, the allergen’s food source must be declared at least once on the food label in one of two ways.

The name of the food source of a major allergen must appear: • In parentheses following the name of the ingredient.

Examples: “lecithin (soy),” “flour (wheat),” and “whey (milk)” • Immediately after or next to the list of ingredients in a “contains” statement.

Example: “Contains wheat, milk and soy.”

“So first look for a ‘Contains’ statement and if your allergen is listed, put the product back on the shelf,” said Carol D’Lima, food technologist with the Office of Nutrition and Food Labeling at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). “If there is no ‘Contains’ statement, it’s very important to read the entire ingredient list to see if your allergen is present. If you see its name even once, it’s back to the shelf for that food too.”

Food labels can help consumers with allergies avoid foods or ingredients.

There are many different ingredients that contain the same major food allergen, but sometimes the ingredients’ names do not indicate their specific food sources. For example, casein, sodium caseinate and whey are all milk proteins. Although the same allergen can be present in multiple ingredients, its “food source name” (for example, milk) must appear in the ingredient list just once to comply with labeling requirements.

Sesame is not a major food allergen under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004, but the FDA recently issued a draft guidance document to encourage manufacturers to clearly declare sesame in the ingredient list. In most cases, sesame does have to appear in

the ingredient statement; an exception is when sesame is part of a flavoring or spice or if a

term is used for a food like tahini that is, or contains, sesame. In those cases, it may be declared as simply “spice” or “flavor” on

the label, so consumers may not know sesame is present.

“Contains” and “May Contain” Have Different Meanings

If a “Contains” statement appears on a food label, it must include the food source names of all major food allergens used as ingredients.

For example, if “whey,” “egg yolks,” and a “natural flavor” that contained peanut proteins are listed as ingredients, the “Contains” statement must identify the words “milk,” “egg” and “peanuts.”

Some manufacturers voluntarily include a separate advisory statement, such as “may contain” or “produced in a facility,” on their labels when there is a chance that a food allergen could be present. A manufacturer might use the same equipment to make

different products. Even after cleaning this equipment, a small amount of an allergen (such as peanuts) that was used to make one product (such as cookies) may become part of another product (such as crackers). In this case, the cracker label might state “may contain peanuts.”

Be aware that the “may contain” statement is voluntary, said D’Lima. “Not all manufacturers use it.”

When in Doubt, Leave It Out

Manufacturers can change their products’ ingredients at any time, so D’Lima said it’s a good idea to check the ingredient list every time you buy the product—even if you have eaten it before and didn’t have an allergic reaction.

“If you’re unsure about whether a food contains any ingredient to which you are sensitive, don’t buy the product, or check with the manufacturer first to ask what it contains,” said D’Lima. “We all want convenience, but it’s not worth playing Russian roulette with your life or that of someone under your care.”

Unexplained Hepatitis Outbreak Reported A recent unexplained outbreak of acute, severe hepatitis in children has made the recognition of acute hepatitis in all age groups important for the benefit of individual and societal health.

Acute hepatitis or inflammation of the liver is usually caused by either a virus, alcohol, an autoimmune condition or a prescribed or over-the-counter medication.

Symptoms of acute hepatitis include fever, right upper quadrant pain, jaundice, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, dark urine, light-colored stools and joint pains. Most cases of acute viral hepatitis are self-limiting and do not require hospitalizations or specialized treatment. Common viruses which cause acute hepatitis are hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D, hepatitis E, Epstein Barr and cytomegalovirus.

All these viruses can affect both children and adults.

Hepatitis A and E are transmitted fecal-orally. Hepatitis B and D are primarily transmitted through sexual contact or the use of injection drugs such as heroin.

Hepatitis C comes from infected blood products or any contact with blood such as needles, tattooing,

THE SPECIALIST

David Bernstein, MD

manicures, etc. Epstein Barr virus is transmitted mostly through saliva contact either through kissing or the sharing of the same cutlery or toothbrush. Cytomegalovirus is typically transmitted through direct contact with body fluids such as urine, saliva, semen and breast milk.

Recently, more than 160 cases of acute hepatitis in children ages one month to 16 years have been reported in 12 countries, including the United States. One child has died and 17 of these infected children required a lifesaving,

emergency liver transplant. The severity of disease in children is highly unusual and prompted the Centers for Disease Control to alert physicians around the country to be on the lookout for cases of acute hepatitis in children. The most common cause of acute hepatitis in children is hepatitis A. None of these cases were caused by hepatitis A or any of the other common viral causes of acute hepatitis including COVID-19.

These severe cases in children were caused by an adenovirus which has not previously been reported to cause such severe disease. Adenoviruses spread from person to person and typically are associated with the “common cold”. These viruses usually cause respiratory symptoms but they can cause gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis or pink eye and bladder infections.

There are no specific treatments for the acute hepatitis caused by adenovirus. Treatment is given for symptoms. It is important for parents and caregivers to be aware of the signs and symptoms of acute hepatitis. Children should be vaccinated against hepatitis B and parents and caregivers should also consider hepatitis A vaccination.

How can someone prevent getting acute hepatitis? Simple common sense actions such as frequent handwashing, avoiding people who are sick, covering coughs and sneezes, avoiding touching the eyes, nose and mouth and wearing a mask if you have symptoms, may lessen the

likelihood of either getting sick or passing your infection to someone else. These simple behavioral modifications can help keep you and your children safe from acute viral infections which cause hepatitis.

May Is Mental Health Awareness Month Since the start of the pandemic, more and more people are talking about mental health. An increasing number of folks are starting to see it for what it is: one important component of your overall health and well-being, just like your physical health. But mental health conditions, resources and conversations can still feel complicated and out of reach.

Are there common warning signs for mental health conditions or crises?

Specific factors that can lead to mental health conditions or even crises? What resources are out there—and how do I know if they’re right for me? Many people are learning about mental health topics for the first time. Having a widespread understanding of the topic can help you be more informed if you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health condition or crisis.

Around half of people in the U.S. will meet the criteria for a diagnosable mental health condition at some point in their life, so everyone should know what to look out for.

Everyone should have the support needed to thrive. Communities that have been historically and presently oppressed face a deeper mental health burden because of the added impact of

trauma, oppression and harm.

There’s often no one single cause for a mental health condition. Instead, there are many possible risk factors that can influence how likely a person is to experience a mental health condition or how serious the symptoms may be.

Some risk factors for mental health conditions include: trauma, which can be a one-time event or ongoing; your environment and how it impacts your health and quality of life (also known as social determinants of health like financial stability and health care access); genetics; brain chemistry; and your habits and lifestyle such as a lack of sleep.

Of course, understanding the risk factors for a mental health condition can be more difficult when it’s your own mental health. Take time to ask yourself about your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to see if this is part of a pattern that may be caused by a mental health condition. Here are some questions to get you started: • Have things that used to feel easy started feeling difficult?

• Does the idea of doing daily tasks like making your bed now feel really, really hard?

• Have you lost interest in activities and

hobbies you used to enjoy?

• Do you feel irritated, possibly to the point of lashing out at people you care about?

Our society focuses much more on physical health than mental health, but both are equally important. If you are concerned about your mental health, there are several options available. You are not alone—help is out there and recovery is possible. It may be hard to talk about your concerns, but simply acknowledging to yourself that you’re struggling is a really big step.

Taking a screening at www.mhascreening.org can help you to better understand what you are experiencing and get helpful resources. After that, consider talking to someone you trust about your results and seek out a professional to find the support you need.

While you may not need this information today, knowing the basics about mental health will mean you’re prepared if you ever need it. Go to www.mhanational.org/may to learn more.

Roe Overturned?

Local pols weigh in on national issue JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

L

ast week, the media became inflamed with news of a leaked Supreme Court majority opinion draft overturning the 1973 Roe vs. Wade abortion decision. Local politicians, as you might guess, rushed into cyberspace to express their opinions.

In the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health case, the court is expected to decide in June on the constitutionality of Roe. Politicians aren’t waiting until then. Reaction came in swiftly from the top down.

“I am horrified by the apparent draft Supreme Court opinion leaked this evening that would overturn the right to abortion guaranteed by Roe vs. Wade,” Governor Kathy Hochul said. “For the sake of women across the country, this should not be the Supreme Court’s final opinion when it comes to abortion rights.

“We have been fighting this battle for too long. I refuse to go backwards. I refuse to let my new granddaughter have to fight for the rights generations have fought for and won, rights that she should be guaranteed.

She added, “For anyone who needs access to care, our state will welcome you with open arms. New York will always be a place where abortion rights are protected

and where abortion is safe and accessible. Just as the Statue of Liberty lifts her lamp tall in our harbor, New York will never stop fighting for what’s right — unafraid and undeterred.”

Senator Charles Schumer, who is that body’s majority leader, quickly announced plans to hold a vote on codifying Roe if indeed it is overturned. He called the leak as revealing a “dark and disturbing

day for America.”

His senate counterpart, Senator Mitch McConnell, criticized the leak for happening at all.

“I think the story today is an effort by someone on the inside to discredit the institution of the [Supreme Court,] which continues a pattern that we’ve observed over the last couple years,” he told members of the Washington press corps. McConnell would not

speculate on the impact of any final decision.

“All of this puts the cart before the horse,” he said.

“The leaked draft majority opinion overturning Roe vs. Wade reveals that the Supreme Court’s right-wing majority is poised to destroy the fundamental human and reproductive rights of millions of women, willfully disregarding public opinion and court precedent.

While we can hold out hope for revisions, we cannot wait to act,” read a statement by U.S. Senator Kristin Gillibrand (D—NY).

It continued, “At the federal level, Congress must enshrine into law the right to an abortion and Democrats must be willing to eliminate the filibuster to do so. As we approach the midterm elections, it is absolutely critical that Democrats turn out in record numbers to maintain our majorities. The American people do not support the government interfering with what people do with their own bodies.

the dark ages. Here in New York, we’re not going back, and we’re going to fight every day to make sure of that.”

Assemblymember Charles Lavine (D-Glen Cove), who also represents the Roslyn area in the state capitol, was also quick to check in.

“It was just yesterday that a major Long Island publication featured the critical issue of abortion rights and my proposed legislation which would protect New Yorkers from being criminally charged in anti-abortion states,” Lavine’s comments began. “Today, I am appalled by one of the most dangerous and abhorrent attacks on women’s rights and human rights in American history.

blasted the leak as an “egregious” breach of trust. The chief justice also ordered an investigation. By then, the train had left the station.

According to Politico, Justice Samuel Alito, a nominee of President George W. Bush, penned the majority opinion. It runs 98 pages long, with a 31-page appendix of state abortion laws, plus no less than 118 footnotes.

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” the draft stated. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

“Roe expressed the ‘feel[ing]’ that the Fourteenth Amendment was the provision that did the work, but its message seemed to be that the abortion right could be found somewhere in the Constitution and that specifying its exact location was not of paramount importance,” Alito also wrote.

Elsewhere, Alito maintained that “the inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and traditions.”

“The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion,” the draft concluded.

“Roe and Casey arrogated that authority.

We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.”

When the Supreme Court releases the final draft this summer, it is certain to touch off political fireworks likely to last into this year’s political season and those to come.

The statement went on to read, “At the state level, Democrats must enact strong pro-choice legislation where we currently have control. In purple and red states, we must fight tooth and nail to flip legislatures and pass legislation guaranteeing reproductive rights, including access to abortion.

There is no state where a majority of the public supports a federal ban on abortion.

And with this fundamental right in jeopardy, it is incumbent upon states like New York, where abortion is safe and accessible, to open our doors to those seeking care.

“We must refuse to back down or move backwards—the lives and futures of millions of Americans depend on us acting now,” the senator concluded.

State Senator Anna M. Kaplan (D–North Hills) who represents much of the Roslyn area in Albany, released her own statement.

“When we passed the Reproductive Health Act in New York State in 2019, people told us that we didn’t need to bother; that Roe v. Wade was the law of the land, and we had nothing to worry about it,” the statement began. “The other side went so far as to accuse us of political theater. But we took action because a woman’s right to choose is sacred and must be protected from those who would take our rights from us to further their own agenda. And today as we look out on the horizon of a post-Roe era, state laws are the last protection from a far-right Supreme Court, and extremist politicians who are hell-bent on sending us back into

It is very likely that the Trump Court will overturn Roe in the coming days, even though the anti-abortion justices promised the American people that they would not.

Elections certainly have consequences. It will fall upon the states to provide the legal support for a woman’s right to reproductive freedom. While some states will suppress that freedom, I will never relent in fighting for reproductive health. Abortion rights are human rights. New Yorkers have a proud history of defending the rights of our people. We will not sit passively as states with authoritarian governments enact laws suppressing human rights. With more than 20 states passing such damaging laws in the last months, the people of the State of New York will not enable and empower those repressive and authoritarian regimes.”

The case in question involves a Mississippi state law that bans the abortion procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The issue, as with others, breaks down along the usual Blue State/Red State divide. If Roe were overturned or at least curtailed, up to half the states in the Union would enact restrictions or outright bans. The Roe decision, as Hochul noted, is safe in New York. The same is true of the tri-state area, plus New England with the possible exception of New Hampshire. Along the northeast corridor, only Pennsylvania has a pro-life legislature.

However, its current governor is a Democrat who would veto any pro-life proposals.

The bombshell leak was delivered to Politico, a Washington, D.C.-based web site.

Reducing And Reusing Basics

he most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place.

Making a new product emits greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change and requires a lot of materials and energy—raw materials must be extracted from the earth, and the product must be fabricated then transported to wherever it will be sold. As a result, reduction and reuse are the most effective ways you can save natural resources, protect the environment and save money.

This split-level home in Syosset Woods at 45 Kathleen Dr. sold on May 9 for $925,000. It has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The home has a nice living room and an updated kitchen. The dining room has also been updated and features sliding glass doors to the yard. The basement is full and finished and has an exit to the side yard. The den is on ground level. One of the bedrooms has an ajoining bathroom and also has an exit to the yard. The yard is private and fully fenced in and includes a semi- in-ground pool. The driveway is private. This home is close to schools, shopping, the train station and major highways.

Benefits of reducing and reusing

• Reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.

• Prevents pollution caused by reducing the need to harvest new raw materials.

• Saves energy.

• Reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change.

• Helps sustain the environment for future generations.

• Reduces the amount of waste that will need to be recycled or sent to landfills and incinerators.

• Allows products to be used to their fullest extent.

• Saves money.

Ideas on how to reduce and reuse

• Think Green Before You Shop.

Reduce associated greenhouse gas emissions by thinking

green when you shop.

• Reduce your food waste by shopping smart, buying what you need, composting food scraps and donating unused food to food banks or shelters.

More ways to reduce your impact.

• Reuse or repurpose items such as old clothing, cloth grocery bags, and containers to prevent waste.

• Buy used items to reduce waste as well as the emissions created by producing new materials or disposing of them in landfills.

Donate unused clothing, electronics and building materials to make sure others can reuse them too.

• Buy products made with recycled content. Check labels to see if a product or its packaging is made from recycled materials.

• Know before you throw. Know what items your local recycling programExit Exit EPA website collects and encourage your household to recycle right and recycle more.

• Learn about what else you can do at home, at school, at work and in your community.

• Maintain and repair products, like clothing, tires and appliances, so that they won’t have to be thrown out and replaced as frequently.

• Borrow, rent or share items that are used infrequently, like party decorations, tools or furniture.

The COVID-19 Scare Isn’t Over After two-plus years of home confinement, mask mandates, vaccination lines and all of the other inconveniences, the public is breathing a sigh of relief. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us experienced depression, grief, sadness, boredom, restlessness and daily mood swings.

There is no doubt that things have gotten much better. People are attending events, planning vacations, enjoying the great outdoors and many of our friends and neighbors have gone back into their offices. But if you think COVID-19 is now a subject for the history books, you are sadly mistaken. Each and every day there are new alerts about the rising number of reported cases.

New York City is a good case in point. During the latter half of the winter, city health officials reported that there were 1.8 million adults experiencing symptoms related to the latest strain of COVID-19. Nassau and Suffolk counties are the highest regions in the state for reported cases.

Shanghai, China, a city of almost 25 million people, has been on lockdown for six weeks due to a surge in new cases. At the same time, Beijing, a city of 21 million, is wrestling with a decision on how far to go with lockdowns.

The recent Gridiron Dinner, a popular event for Washington politicians, has turned out to have been a super spreader evening with numerous members of the president’s cabinet and the vice president testing positive. I have attended two weddings in the past month, where I subsequently learned that a large number of attendees experienced some version of the new variant. Luckily, I have tested negative but the stories are too close to home to ignore the perils of large gatherings.

There is no sense looking to our political leaders for advice on what to do next. All of them are afraid of the backlash they would get if they proposed any mask mandates or moratoriums on public gatherings. I have little confidence in our national health officials who have been making inconsistent recommendations on how to avoid getting infected. With all of the current confusion about how to deal with the threat of getting sick, again the true answer is using your own common sense, as we approach the summer months.

INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer

If you are holding a private event, there is nothing wrong with asking your guests for proof of vaccination. If you are attending a function not under your control, you have to decide whether it’s worth the risk of accidental exposure. If you are riding in a car with some total strangers, it is OK to have a mask available. The same goes for riding on trains, airplanes and buses. There is no doubt that the big COVID-19 scare is slowly disappearing, but it doesn’t hurt to take some simple precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones.

With numerous variants and rising COVID-19 numbers, the pandemic is far from being a relic of the past.

TAKING COMMUNITY NEWS UP A NOTCH Community newspapers usually publish articles of local interest including calendars of upcoming events, classified ads, petty crimes and the occasional rants of self proclaimed local political pundits, but with the inclusion of Joseph Scotchie’s column, “A Heap of Broken Images” (May 4, 2022), the Anton Media Group has moved far beyond the purview of a community newspaper.

Mr. Scotchie’s article on T.S. Eliot’s poem, “The Wasteland”, was throughly analyzed and researched. Particularly relevant to our times was Scotchie’s citing of Chilton Williamson’s interpretation of the poem in which Chilton explained how “The Wasteland” sought

to “…extend the western tradition of rationalism as opposed to irrationalism, beauty to ugliness, consonance to dissonance, style to carelessness and vulgarity, symmetry to asymmetry, erudition to ignorance, Christian faith to impiety.”

Although published in 1922 and therefore technically not local news, “The Wasteland” is prescient to our times. It is a commentary on central issue of our times and the Anton Media Group should be commended for respecting its readers by publishing articles which teach, inspire and elevate. Quite a feat for a community newspaper.

Happy 188th Anniversary Long Island Rail Road Let us all wish a Happy 188th Anniversary to the Long Island Rail Road. On April 24, 1834, the Long Island Rail Road was officially chartered by the State of New York. In 1900, the Pennsylvania Railroad bought a controlling interest as part of its plan for direct access to Manhattan which began on September 8, 1910.

The Pennsylvania Railroad subsidized the LIRR into the late 1940s. This provided the financial basis for support of expansion and upgrades to service and infrastructure.

At the end of World War Two, there began a decline of our LIRR with a corresponding loss of farebox revenues. The Pennsylvania Railroad began to reduce financial support as well. This played a part in the LIRR going into receivership in 1949. In recognition of the role the LIRR played in the economy of both Long Island and New York City, New York State began providing financial assistance to the LIRR in the 1950s and 1960s.

The “Line of the Dashing Dan” was officially chartered on April 24, 1965 by the State of New York. Prior to 1965, the LIRR derived almost 100 percent of its funding for both capital and operating expenses from fares. Chartered by the State Legislature in 1965 as the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority (MCTA), it was created to purchase and operate the bankrupt LIRR. In 1966, New York State bought the railroad’s controlling stock from the Pennsylvania Rail Road and put it under the newly formed Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority. The MCTA changed its name to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in 1968, when it took over operations of the New York City Transit Authority.

With MTA subsidies, the LIRR modernized further and grew into the busiest commuter railroad in the United States.

Over the past 50 years, several billion dollars in combined county, city, state and federal taxpayers generated dollars have subsidized both the capital and operating costs for the LIRR.

PENNER STATION Larry Penner

Riders must remember that fare hikes are periodically required if the MTA is to provide the services millions of New Yorkers use daily. They are inevitable due to inflation, along with increasing costs of labor, power, fuel, supplies, materials, routine safety, state of good repair, replacement of wornout rolling stock, upgrades to stations, yards and shops along with system expansion projects necessary to run any transit system.

Half-hour weekly and weekend service on the Port Washington LIRR branch is one reason many decide to live in Northeastern Queens and Great Neck. It is easier seven days a week to attend Met games, other Citi Field events, US

Babylon train station (Photo source getty Images)

Open, Arthur Ashe stadium, Flushing Meadow Park, Queens Zoo, Madison Square Garden activities and Broadway shows on a regular basis. Those of us in the know already moved to communities adjacent to LIRR Port Washington branch stations years or even decades ago. The Great Neck, Little Neck, Douglaston, Bayside and Auburndale neighborhoods are some of the best in the Metropolitan New York area.

We have great air quality along with a low crime rate, abundant parks, libraries, shopping, entertainment, movie theaters, hospitals and medical facilities.

Riders on the Port Washington branch have far more abundant seating and a quick 30 minute or less trip into Penn Station without having to change at Jamaica than LIRR commuters on other branches. Port Washington branch riders miss most service disruptions.

Starting in December 2022,

LIRR will begin service to Grand Central Terminal via the $11.2 billion East Side Access project.

In the end, quality and frequency of service is dependent upon secure revenue streams.

We all have to contribute—be it at the fare box or tax revenues generated by different levels of government redistributed back to the MTA. TANSTAAFL or “There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch” or in this case, a free ride.

This included the development, review, approval and oversight for billions in capital projects and programs for the MTA, NYC Transit, Long Island Rail Road, Metro North Rail Road, MTA Bus along with 30 other transit agencies in NY & NJ.

New York Blood Center Announces Blood Emergency N

232140 S

ew York Blood Center (NYBC) recently announced a blood emergency, as school spring breaks and holiday travel have caused an alarming drop in donations over the past six weeks.

All blood types are low and type O is at just at a 1-to-2-day level.

This shortage occurs amid increasing COVID-19 rates, which can be attributed to the highly contagious Omicron subvariant BA.2.12.1 that has been spreading rapidly throughout New York and surrounding areas. For example, New York City’s COVID transmission rate has increased 32 percent in the last 10 days. The city recently raised its COVID-19 alert level to medium as cases surpassed a rate of 200 per 100,000 people in the five boroughs.

Hospitals and patients rely upon a steady flow of volunteer donors to receive life-saving blood donations, but the recent spike in cases and spring break travel have caused uncertainty. Donor participation has reached record lows at blood drives and donor centers.

In the last six weeks, NYBC has seen approximately 6000 fewer blood donors versus earlier this year.

“This time of the year always tends to be difficult for the blood supply, with school spring breaks and increased travel making blood donations less of a priority. These factors are now coinciding with increasing COVID cases and a potential fifth wave of the pandemic,” Senior Executive Director at New York Blood Center Senior Executive Andrea Cefarelli said. “One blood donation has the ability to save up to three lives. We highly encourage all who are able to donate today to help New Yorkers who need it most.”

It only takes one hour to donate, and a single donation can save multiple lives.

Roughly one in seven hospital admissions require a blood transfusion. Those in need include: cancer patients, accident, burn, or trauma victims, transplant recipients, surgery patients, chronically transfused patients suffering from sickle cell disease or thalassemia, and many more.

To make an appointment at this blood drive, donors can visit www.nybc.org or call 1-800-933-2566.

Donors are encouraged to post pictures

of their donations and tag the New York Blood Center: New York Blood Center Official Social Media Handles & Hashtags These handles can be used for tagging the blood center, sharing content from the blood center, etc.

NYBC, along with its operating divisions Community Blood Center of Kansas City, Missouri (CBC), Innovative Blood Resources (IBR), Blood Bank of Delmarva (BBD), and Rhode Island Blood Center (RIBC), collect approximately 4,000 units of blood products each day and serve local communities of more than 75 million people in the Tri-State area (NY, NJ, CT), Mid Atlantic area (PA, DE, MD, VA), Missouri and Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Southern New England.

NYBC and its operating divisions also provide a wide array of transfusion-related medical services to over 500 hospitals nationally, including Comprehensive Cell Solutions, the National Center for Blood Group Genomics, the National Cord Blood Program, and the Lindsley F. Kimball Research Institute, which—among other milestones—developed a practical screening method for hepatitis B as well as a safe, effective and affordable vaccine, and a patented solvent detergent plasma process innovating blood-purification technology worldwide.

Air Force Vet Honored For Veteran Suicide Awareness & Prevention Efforts Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino, along with his colleagues on the town board, recently honored United States Air Force Veteran Kevin Hertell for his humanitarian efforts in veteran suicide awareness and prevention.

Hertell is the founder of the nonprofit Suicide Awareness & Remembrance Flag Corporation (SARFLAG), an organization that memorializes the thousands of veterans who have died by suicide after returning home from duty.

“Sadly, more than 100,000 veterans have taken their own lives since 2001 and it is time this epidemic is recognized,” Saladino said “These fallen veterans have no monument, no memorials, no adequate media coverage and little support.

Kevin has designed a flag to honor them that currently flies in 13 states and now

will be on display here in the Town of Oyster Bay aside our POW Flag and Chair.”

The flag also honors, unites and respects their families and builds awareness around removing the stigma associated with mental health and seeking treatment, serving as a reminder that “Not All Wounds are Visible.”

Veterans facing mental health issues should call the Veteran’s Crisis Line at 1-800-273-8255, ext. 1; if you have hearing loss, call TTY: 1-800-799-4889.

This hotline offers free and confidential support to all veterans, all service members, National Guard and Reserves and their family members and friends 24/7, 365 days a year.

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direct

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Excellence in ordinary things is the accomplishment that matters more than any standout performance you could give. The only trouble is, this important work often goes unacknowledged, while flashier fetes garner attention and praise. Credit and cheer yourself on. Also, recognize the subtle, essential work of others.

What swims beneath Solution: 17 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Most people, at some point in life, struggle with feeling good enough for the situation at hand. While such assessments are a part of growing and knowing oneself, if you can figure out how to skip the self-evaluation this week, you’ll save yourself a lot of time and trouble. You’re more than enough, so dive in and handle it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). As Carl Jung suggested, the self is a “coincidentia oppositorum” -- both bright and dark and yet neither. Since it is impossible for a person to produce purely good or purely bad outcomes, don’t fret. You’ll complete 25 important things before the week is through, all with the best intentions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The contradictions stand defiantly before you, daring you to make sense of them. It’s a trick. They cannot be reasoned into a peaceful state. Stand back instead. These ideas are like the south side of two magnets: in a state of repellent instability that just might cause one side to flip.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Shouldn’t true love also be easy love? And yet, were it really so, there would be no love stories. This week, the plot thickens. The rules will be reviewed and possibly rewritten. Loyalties will be tested. You’ll learn more about the person you love and about yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you can’t figure out why something happened, it’s natural to go into mental overdrive trying to work it out. But people have acted on their feelings, and there may be no reason that will suffice.

Get ready for exciting new happenings. Stop analyzing the last thing. Choose a takeaway. Put it to rest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Communication conundrums will occur. When you don’t know what to say, you’re in a good place. You’re recognizing the complexity of the situation, the need for careful listening and discernment. A pause can be an invitation. People get in trouble overusing their lips, not for overusing their ears.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve known yourself to strive for a pure heart, clear mind and devout soul. You’ve also known yourself not to worry so much about it. Maybe the latter way suggests greater self-acceptance and a kinder overall demeanor. It’s a week of not trying, just being, and deciding that’s perfectly fine.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). More than any other time in history, people have come to expect to be entertained at every juncture. Your advantage is your curiosity. You don’t wait for others to captivate your attention. Instead, you find your own reasons to engage, which is a sign of special intelligence.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ve worked hard to become who you want to be and you enjoy the company of those on a similar trajectory of improvement. There have been times when you set the bar high to disappointing effect, but this year’s relationships will exceed your lofty expectations. You’ll create your own definition of success and live it. Things feel so much more satisfying when they come to you on your own terms.

After some schooling, you’ll take on a fascinating and risky venture and see profits.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your natural curiosity and open-mindedness will take you to unusual places this week. You’ll accept things you don’t yet understand, and people will accept you before they understand you, too. This spirit of inclusivity -- an extension of trust and a willingness to learn one another -- keeps life interesting and fun.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s something good about whatever style you approach with this week. If you overthink things, at least you care, and you’ll probably come up with something the others missed. Underthinking shows trust in the universe, and it leaves room for people to help you, so connections get made. All will be well.

The Long Island Coalition Against Bullying To Hold 8th Annual Golf Open

he Long Island Coalition Against Bullying (LICAB), a nonprofit based in Farmingdale, will hold its eighth annual Golf Open at Woodside Club in Muttontown on Monday, May 23, 2022 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Among the organization’s top fundraisers, the event draws a crowd of over 250 to experience the exclusive course at Woodside, followed by a dinner and awards reception to honor the winner of the 2022 Asaf German Spring Anti-Bullying Scholarship. The scholarship is granted to one Long Island senior each year as part of an essay-writing competition that tasks students with navigating how to address bullying in our community.

LICAB will debut a new timeline at this year’s outing, with Tee Off at 11 a.m., cocktail hour at 4 p.m., and dinner and awards reception from 5 to 7 p.m.

All funds raised at the 2022 Golf Open will support LICAB’s current and future programs aimed at: helping find Long Island children and families experiencing bullying; helping affected families access resources including subsidized therapy and other therapeutic outlets; educate and inform children, parents and educators on the risks and dangers of bullying among Long Island’s youth; and preventing future instances of bullying from occurring on Long Island.

“LICAB is thrilled to bring the 2022 Golf Open to Woodside Club once again for a

(Photos courtesy of Long Island Coalition Against Bullying) day of sport and networking with likeminded professionals who can relate to our mission,” LICAB Executive Director/ Founder Joe Salamone said. “Our organization has expanded its reach more than tenfold in Nassau and Suffolk counties in the last school year alone. This is a testament not only to the value of our services,

but unfortunately also to the impact and pressure our youth is experiencing in a time of great social change. Bullying continues to be an under-the-radar issue that Long Island children face on a daily basis, and LICAB is here to assist parents, children and educators on navigating difficult situations and providing support and guidance

to those in their greatest moment of need. It is thanks to fundraisers like our annual Golf Open that we can continue our expansion to provide services to more families and forge valuable partnerships within our community.”

The 2022 Golf Open is supported by a variety of local and national brands, including: Jerome Stevens Pharmaceuticals; Tim White Home Improvement; Rockline Wealth Management; Excellis Health; TD Bank; JXG Consulting; H2M architects + engineers; FeldMed; Marathon Wealth Management; Milwaukee Tool; Sir Speedy; Midland Steel; Webistix; Fratello Construction; Oliva Therapeutics; Doctor Diver Leak Protection; LEB Electric; Keller Williams; Salted – Social Media; SCI Construction; Keller Williams Elite; Valley National Bank; Island Fox Home Inspections; Suffolk Bus Corporation; Orange Products; Chase Bank; Captivate Talent; Fidelity Investments; Transervice; Cosette Pharmaceuticals; Lake Landscape & Mason Supply; A Lot Maintenance Corp.

Interested parties can go to www.licab. org/events or https://secure.qgiv.com/for/ licab/event/847274/ to learn more, golf, sponsor, or donate to this year’s charity event.

Several recent enhancements in technology have made cosmetic plastic surgery procedures safer and easier for the patient with a more natural outcome.

Implementing a healthy plan including diet and exercise will help to achieve both a beautiful and realistic result. There are a variety of procedures available today to help you achieve the look that you desire, including breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, liposuction, tummy tuck, fat transfer, cellulite reduction, full body lift, facelift and eyelid lift. Combining surgical with non-surgical procedures can produce amazing and significant improvements to your appearance.

Utilizing the latest technology, Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery offers rapid recovery breast augmentation and liposuction packages where you can be back to your daily routine in 24-48 hours.

Patients experience minimal swelling and bruising with a notably decreased recovery time. Recognizing the need for patients to quickly return to their normal activities, a Greenberg Rapid Recovery Procedure ensures both excellent results with a faster recovery period. In addition, there is a continued increase in the number of women having children at a later age who are seeking to obtain pre-pregnancy figure. New mothers can take advantage of the Greenberg Modern mommy Makeover, a very popular

plan specifically designed to target the areas of the body most affected by pregnancy and childbirth. Combining a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift or breast augmentation, fat transfer or cellulite reduction treatment significantly transforms your look.

Another avenue to consider is the new noninvasive body sculpting treatment, Emsculpt which reduces fat and increases muscle mass in the abdomen and buttocks within 2 weeks without spending hours in the gym. Coolsculpting reduces fat in the treated area by 25%, without surgery! Combine these two for a fit and toned silhouette this summer! For a quick refresh this Summer, injectable fillers are effective in reducing lines and wrinkles on the face without surgery.

Exciting products like Botox, Dysport and Xeomin and the New Jeuveau smooth crow’s feet and frown lines while Juvederm and Restylane restore facial contour and volume resulting in a lifted look.

For over 25 years, Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery has been providing the proper mix of these procedures to provide the most successful improvements in appearance with a significant reduction in the signs of aging. Using the most state-of-the-art technology to obtain the best and most natural results, you can turn back the hands of time in a caring, safe and supportive environment.

Remember, the perfect cosmetic surgery package can create the perfect you!

Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg is a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic surgery. He has offices in Woodbury, Southampton and Manhattan. For a complimentary consultation, call 516-364-4200 if you have a question for Dr. Greenberg, please e-mail him at docstg@aol.com, or visit the web at www.GreenbergCosmeticSurgery.com

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS Nassau County Legislator Arnold W. Drucker (D - Syosset) joined Harry Chapin’s son, Josh, and leaders of Long Island Cares - The Harry Chapin Food Bank at the organization’s Essential Market in Bethpage on Monday, May 2 to unveil legislation that would designate July 16 as Harry Chapin Day in Nassau County.

Not only would recognizing the acclaimed musician and humanitarian generate much-needed awareness about the prevalence of food insecurity in our region, Legislator Drucker’s proposal which is co-sponsored by the legislature’s seven-member Minority Caucus - would also direct the county to partner with Long Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino honors outgoing Jericho Fire Chief for 30 years of service.

I can think of no in recognition of Police Appreciation Week, better way of celebrating his life’s work than a national recognition celebration in honor by supporting the cause he so passionately of men and women in blue. National Police advocated for.”

On Monday, May 9, the Legislature’s Majority withdrew a proposal that would have shortened Nassau County’s gasoline sales tax holiday by a month (to Dec. 1, 2022). However, they also took no action on the Minority’s proposal to make portions of gasoline prices sales tax-free above $2/gallon and extend the gas tax holiday to March 1, 2023.

In response, Nassau County Legislator Arnold W. Drucker (D – Jericho), ranking member of the Legislature’s finance committee, issued the following

lator Arnold W. Drucker)

way for socially conscious entertainers like we have today. He used his celebrity for good - and utilized his platform and following to shine a light on the interconnected issues of hunger and poverty both here in America and abroad,” Long Island Cares Chief Government Affairs Officer Michael Haynes said. “Realizing the importance of thinking globally but acting locally, he founded Long Island’s first food bank, Long Island Cares, Inc., in 1980. For all this and so much more, he deserves every July 16 to be recognized as Harry Chapin Day.” “My dad really brought a relentless positive energy. When you think of him, he was inspirational - and he was inspired by love, and he was inspired by doing the right thing,” Harry’s son Josh Chapin said. “One of the last things I did in Nassau County with him was to go to the beginning of that [New York Islanders] Stanley Cup run… and I think about collective energy that is so beautiful in a sports arena and the inspiration that comes from sacrifice and working together and being greater than the sum of your parts. My dad really recognized that; Long Island Cares recognizes that; and I think it’s inherent in the Suffolk County Huntington community I grew up in, but also here in Nassau. I’d love to see that continue.”

—Submitted by the Office of Legislator Arnold W. Drucker statement: “While we are gratified that the state’s recent action seems to have staved off the Majority’s proposal to shorten Nassau County’s gas tax holiday, we cannot afford to rest on our laurels when taxpayers need relief at the pump. The Minority Caucus will continue to advocate for extending the gas tax holiday and ensuring that Nassau consumers receive the maximum level of savings allowable under state law.”

—Submitted by Nassau County Legislature, Minority Caucus
