Suspect Identified Following Heinous Graffiti Incident BY CAROLINE RYAN

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

ort Washington Superintendent Dr. Michael Hynes informed the Port Washington community last Sunday evening, April 25, that two swastikas were spray-painted onto the exterior walls at John Philip Sousa Elementary School in Port Washington. The Port Washington Police District (PWPD) was actively investigating the incident in partnership with school officials, the Nassau County Police Department and the Hate Crimes Unit of the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office. According to Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Michael Hynes, the images were removed by the time students reported to school that Monday morning. On Wednesday, April 28, the PWPD released photos of an unidentified male who was seen in security footage at approximately 5:30 p.m. on the night of the anti-Semitic graffiti incident. The following morning, the PWPD released the following updated statement regarding their search for the unidentified male, “Yesterday evening PWPD detectives identified a suspect accused of spray-painting two swastikas on the Sousa Elementary School building. Photos of the suspect were distributed to the community through social media. The Department received information from community members through its tip line that helped identify the subject. PWPD detectives then located the suspect, placed him under arrest and charged him with multiple crimes including aggravated harassment in the first degree (paints a swastika) and criminal mischief third degree as a hate crime. The accused is a juvenile. Accordingly his identification is withheld. The charges are merely accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. The PWWD wants to thank the Port Washington Community for their overwhelming support in providing tips which aided bringing this case to a successful resolution.” This is the second time that anti-Semitic graffiti has been found in Port Washington. Last October, vandals spray-painted more than a dozen swastikas inside the Port Washington Police Athletic League

(PAL) Clubhouse. The perpetrator of that crime was never discovered. Dr. Hynes further stated in a letter to the community that the school district will be continuing to work with the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center (HMTC) of Nassau County to educate the students about the use of hate symbols. “The district also partners with the Holocaust Museum and Tolerance Center and the HSA to continue educating our students on the lasting damage from symbols of hate,” Dr. Hynes said. “The district has a zero tolerance for offensive sentiments and places a strong emphasis on providing students with a platform to understand the values of inclusion through programs and discussions about the impacts of hate language and actions. All parents and students are encouraged to review the Resolution of Respect, which is a pillar of the Port Washington School District and reinforces our community’s stand against hate.” Many local officials also released statements to the community immediately following the incident reiterating similar sentiments. The HMTC released a statement to the public stating that they were “deeply disturbed” to learn that this crime had occurred. “This incident further emphasizes the need to educate adults and young people on the history of the Holocaust and the lessons for how people should and must conduct themselves today,” The Holocaust Center said. “HMTC is prepared to continue to work with the students, teachers, staff and the community

in Port Washington to safely and effectively deal with hateful actions like these.” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran stated that “we must never allow hateful acts, whether they come in the form of graffiti or violence, to find comfort in our communities. We will respond by standing together to condemn anti-Semitism, and other forms of hatred that seek to divide us and turn us against each other. I also urge parents to educate youth about the value of diversity and tolerance, as well as the dark history behind symbols of hatred.” Other elected officials spoke out about the need to come together as a community to speak out against anti-Semitism and hate crimes. “Hatred and anti-Semitism will never be welcome in our community, and its incumbent on us all to speak out forcefully and unequivocally against it whenever we encounter it,” New York State Senator Anna Kaplan (D-Great Neck) said. Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth encouraged community leaders to denounce these types of “evil acts” and stated that the rise of hate crimes throughout the country is “extremely upsetting.” “It is essential that all community leaders denounce these types of evil acts with displays of strength, unity and advocacy for all individuals regardless of their race, gender and religious beliefs,” Bosworth said. “That’s what our Not in our Town initiative is all about. Standing together as a community, we must continue

sending a powerful message that we will not tolerate messages of hate in North Hempstead.” On Thursday afternoon, after the alleged suspect was arrested, local officials and community leaders released statements commending the police departments for their hard work in helping to solve the crime. “Thank you to the Port Washington Police Department and the community members who helped identify the subject,” Town of North Hempstead councilwoman Mariann Dalimonte said on her Facebook page. Dr. Hynes released a statement to the community commending the Port Washington and Nassau County Police Departments for their “swift action” in apprehending the individual allegedly responsible for the hate crime. “I’m incredibly proud of our staff and students for being instrumental throughout the process of identifying a student and peer to protect our community,” Dr. Hynes said. “As a school district and community, we must remain resolute in our commitment to zero tolerance of bigotry, hatred and discrimination in any and all of its forms. From our classrooms to our homes, we must continue to engage in dialogue to educate our children on the impact of such hateful acts and their repercussions. The District is focused on next steps to better confront this within our schools at a much deeper level.” What did you think of this story? Share it with me at cryan@antonmediagroup.com

Lisa Erkus, Sara Rubin To Lead Gan Shalom Nursery School

he Reconstructionist Synagogue of the North Shore (RSNS) recently announced that Lisa Erkus and Sara Rubin will become the co-directors of its Gan Shalom Nursery School starting July 1. Erkus is currently one of Gan Shalom’s interim co-directors and head teacher of their two-year-old class, while Rubin is head teacher of a four-year-old class at the nursery school. RSNS’s Board of Trustees approved the appointments following an extensive search. Rabbi Jodie Siff of RSNS, who served on the search committee and supervises the operation of the nursery school, said. “We’re delighted to elevate Lisa and Sara to these positions. They’re outstanding candidates in what was a strong field, and

Sara Rubin the fact that they are already part of our community was a big factor for us.” RSNS President Dan Rabinowitz added, “Lisa and Sara bring qualities that will position us to grow our school, and to do so in a way that stays true to our values

Lisa Erkus and mission. We couldn’t be more excited.” Gan Shalom has operated continuously since the mid-1990s, when RSNS launched it with the support of clergy and lay leaders in its congregational community. Gan Shalom offers classes for twos, threes and fours, and is

a universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) qualified school in the Port Washington school district. The nursery school has offered extended-day classes in the past, and is hoping to do that again in the coming academic year. “Gan Shalom is a core part of our synagogue life,” Siff said. “Many of our congregation’s current members, including a number of its officers and trustees, got to know us through Gan Shalom as young parents, and it’s so gratifying to see that attachment and tradition.” Erkus has been with the nursery school since 2019. Before joining Gan Shalom, she was with Mid-Island Y JCC Nursery School in Plainview for 15 years as a teacher. Erkus has a B.A. from University of Hartford and is a

COLUMNS

Success My most recent column focused on the meaning found in the classes that we are required to take in high school and their application to the real world. I received so many comments from friends, fellow students and even parents who told me that this idea really resonated with them. As a result, I decided that I would like to continue to discuss the concept of learning, both introspective and the cultivation and development of our individual interests. A few months ago, I received an assignment in Utopian/Dystopian Literature to create a story about technology and its potential impact on society. For those who may not know, dystopia is a term used to describe a utopian society in which things have gone wrong. Both utopian and dystopian stories are often based in science fiction and fantasy.

The Angle

Zack Siegel

These stories often take place in a future setting where technology is used to create, theoretical, perfect living conditions. I have always enjoyed the process of visualizing various scenarios of the “potential future,” but I have never considered myself a creative writer. The idea of completely creating my own story scared me, as my writing has been mostly opinion and fact-based reporting. I struggled to

come up with a theme but as soon as the first word was on the page, I could not stop writing. Although I expected to struggle, the assignment proved to be one of the easiest for me to write. To date, this has been my favorite writing assignment. I became invested in the story and how others would perceive it. My creative energy was unleashed and I was excited to share my ideas with my teacher and family (Link to the story can be found on my Instagram bio @ZackSiegel). I am sure that many of my fellow students reading this column are wondering how and why this is relevant to them. My point is that education does not have to be forced and insincere. It is possible to use our course work as a means to fulfill our requirements and discover our passions. At first, I thought that this

Utopian/Dystopian assignment was an anomaly. Thankfully, I was wrong. Following that assignment, I began to look at my other class work for things that I truly enjoy learning about. I have learned that the range is wide; from dystopian futures to the inner workings of physics, from the history of our country to solving complex mathematical problems. Most educational experiences are relevant and exciting in their own way. My point is that we can sift through the lessons of our classes to find what actually interests us. While school may often seem simply a means to an end (e.g., obtain a diploma and get into college), the opportunities that the curriculum presents are much greater and far reaching than one would initially expect. Education is not a singular defined path, but rather a series of paths to arrive

at a better perspective. We can use it as an opportunity to find what we love and who we want to be in this world. As an example, I now spend some of my free time exploring the world of dystopian and apocalyptic film and television. Not only is it an enjoyable new hobby, but as a result, I now have a deeper understanding of the course work itself. While this newly discovered interest may not help me get into college or start a successful career, it is just one more example of how opening your mind to your coursework can help you identify your passion and live a more fulfilling life. For many of us, our passions may not be the path to financial success, but they most definitely will lead to a better, more satisfying and happier you. That is what I call success. — Zack Siegel is a student at Schreiber High School

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR VOTE NO ON THE SCHOOL BUDGET AND TAX INCREASE On Tuesday, May 18, Port residents can vote for the Board of Education (BOE) candidates they prefer and whether to approve or disapprove the proposed school budget and 2.06 percent increase in school taxes. There are two surprising facts to consider regarding our proposed school budget and tax increase. First, our K-12 Port Washington school enrollment is down by about 180 students—a reduction

of over 3 percent in total students. The second key fact is that Port is getting the third highest percentage increase in state aid of all 56 Nassau school districts. We’re getting a New York State aid increase of $3 million (Newsday, 4/8/21, pg.10). This is an increase of over 30 percent. In addition, we’re also getting federal aid of $3.5 million over 3 years as part of the American Rescue Plan. The reduced student

enrollment of 3 percent and the 30 percent increase in state aid alone result in an increase of over 5 percent in funding per student without any increase in school taxes. The BOE simply wants to increase our school taxes by almost $3 million in order to increase the balance in our reserve accounts. The proposed tax increase buys nothing for our children. Newsday has recently stated that “school districts should cancel planned

property tax increases this year, and look to lower them next year.” (4/8/21, pg.26). I fully agree. While I admire most BOE candidates this year, I’m very disappointed the incumbents failed to give us a budget with no tax increase that would still provide an increase in spending per pupil of more than $1,500. Yes, we can spend $1,500 more per pupil for 2021-22 with no tax increase at all. And with the new federal law limiting tax deductions

DEAR DR. HYNES Swastikas on the John Philip Sousa school building. As a Holocaust survivor who lost my father and members of my family in various Nazi concentration camps I share your outrage at this heinous and despicable act of anti-Semitism and hate against the Jewish people. So what? Where does your and my outrage lead us? Want to

know the answer? Nowhere sad to say. Why? Because several years ago on two separate occasions swastikas were painted in the boy’s room at Schreiber High School. A car on Main Street in Port was vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti, and just recently, swastikas were painted on the PAL building and none of these reprehensible acts led

to an arrest, to a prosecution or to a punishment. All one heard, coming from you as well, is a lot of feel good rhetoric signifying nothing, void of any punitive action. Consequently, these purveyors of hate will continue their perverted acts with impunity, knowing full well how utterly feckless society is

in apprehending and holding them accountable. One has to seriously question the level of priority given to the apprehension and judicial process to these acts of hate. So far, with no results whatsoever, this question continues to beg an answer. —Stanley L. Ronell Port Washington resident emeritus

TOP ISLAND STORY AROUND LONG

Gun Rights Advocates Make Their Case New York’s stringent laws make it a ‘fat target’

BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

he right to keep and bear arms took a major advance in the 2008 Supreme Court case District of Columbia v. Heller. According to a summary of the case, ruled 5-4 with Justice Antonin Scalia writing for the majority, “The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.” The court followed that up with McDonald v. City of Chicago in 2010, extending the ruling to the states. On April 26, the court decided to take up the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen. New York has one of the strictest laws regarding the right to carry a concealed handgun—it imposes a “proper cause” to issue permits. Users must demonstrate a compelling need for protection, such as carrying cash. In a press release supporting the case, the NRA stated that, “law-abiding citizens should not be required to prove they are in peril to receive the government’s permission to exercise this constitutionally protected right.” The petitioners argued against the state’s “proper cause,” urging, “The time has come for this Court to resolve this critical constitutional impasse and reaffirm the citizens’ fundamental right to carry a handgun for self-defense.” According to a Supreme Court document, the judges will decide on the following: “Whether the Second Amendment prohibits New York from requiring residents who wish to carry a concealed firearm in public to have an actual and articulable need to do so.” Eric M. Freedman, a constitutional law professor at the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University, noted that in agreeing to take up the case, the justices narrowed their inquiry. Instead of a sweeping rejection of all New York gun laws, they will limit the inquiry to the constitutionality of the petitioners being denied the permits. “The mostly likely outcome is a narrow decision striking down what they perceive as the most extreme parts of the New York system. Or even a remand to the lower courts to

Ultimately, he said, “The New York State system, which is stringent by national standards, is thought to be a fat target from the perception of [gun rights advocates]. The advocates pick these cases carefully and the justices do as well. They’ve had New York in their sights for a long time because it’s tempting target.” Freedman believes that the case will be decided next spring.

PSEG Long Island Announces Earth Day Video PSA Winners

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

andemic or not, entries for PSEG Long Island’s first-ever Earth Day Video PSA contest weren’t lacking in the PSEG Long Island service area. There were 207 PSA videos submitted by 4,347 fourth to eighth-grade students from 32 elementary and middle schools representing 18 school districts in Nassau and Suffolk Counties along with the Rockaways. The utility picked 10 to make the final cut on Earth Day 2021, with the announcement being made live via webinar to dozens of students and teachers that participated in the competition. The Anton Media Group coverage area was well represented with finalists coming from the East Meadow, Mineola and Oyster BayEast Norwich school districts. The I AM EM-Powered Program and Student Challenge that participants took part in was created by educational consultants, D. Barrett Associates. The STEM-related coursework provided lessons on energy conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy in alignment with current educational standards on these topics. It was also tailored for classroom, virtual learning and hybrid scenarios. Teachers could select and submit their favorite three videos to be judged by a strict grading rubric. Visit youtube.com/psegli to view the 10 award-winning videos. Then click the playlist titled “I Am EM-powered PSA contest winners 2021.” A recording of the announcement ceremony is part of the playlist. Mineola Middle School Science teacher Vince Interrante, whose student quartet of seventh graders Nicole Marino, Clara Levy, Brooke Marek and Leah Anzalone were winners with their “Energy Conservation” entry, appreciates the dialogue about the environment the competition encourages. “Clara, Brooke, Leah and Nicole created an inspirational PSA on energy conservation,” he said. “PSEG’s contest afforded students all across Long Island [the ability] to have their voices heard. My seventh grade science class couldn’t stop talking about ways to conserve energy and the need to be more energy efficient.” Winner Skyler Placella, a fifth grader at Oyster Bay’s James H. Vernon School for her “Special Energy Agent” entry, was inspired by the curriculum

her teacher Diana Hauser has been using with their class. “My winning submission was a video about conserving energy,” Placella said. “I felt very strong about the topic and wanted to get the message out to other people. I was inspired because I have been learning about renewable and nonrenewable recourses and became concerned that our fossil fuels will run out one day if we don’t do something about it.” Hauser was equally thrilled by the competition and the ripple effect its had. “We love this program,” Hauser said. “It proved to be a perfect culminating

activity for our resources unit. I am so proud of Skyler and all my students for being so enthusiastic about conserving energy. They were excited to create the PSAs to inspire others to take action to conserve energy. The prize will be used to purchase something great for my students.” For those participants lucky enough to be in the Top 10, awards are individual $75 Amazon gift cards for each team member.

James H. Vernon fifth grader Skyler Placella (right) landed in the Top 10 with the “Special Energy Agent” PSA. Here Placella is standing with Oyster Bay teacher Diana Hauser Markesano’s entry, whose “5 Easy Ways To Save Money” PSA made the final cut. “My video was about five ways you can save water energy and money,” Markesano said. “My inspiration for my video was I wanted to tell everyone about these helpful ways to save energy, water and money. They are very useful tips and can make a difference and are even things you can do in you own home.” Like her peers, Markesano’s teacher Karen Alonge, was equally effusive about the importance of this PSEG Long Island competition. “I will say that I am a big advocate of protecting the environment any way we can,” Alonge said. “This program allowed me to show my students that little daily changes like saving electricity and water, recycling, etc., can make a positive impact. ” PSEG Long Island director of Customer Experience and Utility Marketing Suzanne Brienza, who co-hosted the webinar with PSEG Long Island director of Energy and Renewable Energy Michael Voltz, reiterated the significance of the PSAs to a broader audience. “The students’ messages of protecting our oceans, conserving electricity and using energy efficient light bulbs are lessons for all of us,” she said.

Plainview Water District Welcomes New Treatment Facility

he Plainview Water District (PWD), along with area elected officials, hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil the recently completed, stateof-the-art treatment facility that was specifically designed to remove the emerging contaminants 1,4-dioxane, PFOA and PFOS from the community’s drinking water. Plant 1, located at the district’s headquarters on Manetto Hill Road, is a $7.6 million facility capable of producing up to four million gallons of high-quality drinking water each and every day. The Plainview Water District has emerged as a leader in water treatment and has successfully put more Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) systems in place than any other water supplier on

Long Island. Last August, the New York State Health Department finalized regulations establishing maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for emerging compounds 1,4-dioxane, PFOA and PFOS. The district started planning to build this treatment facility in 2018; at the same time the state started discussions about regulating these contaminants. Due to its proactive stance and sound financial planning, the district was able to fund this specific multi-million-dollar investment without impacting rates by using reserve accounts as well as receiving a Nassau County Legislator Laura Schaefer, Business Manager Dina Scott, Superintendent Stephen Moriarty, Commissioner Andrew Bader, Commissioner Amanda Field, Chairman $2.1 million grant the district Marc Laykind, Nassau County Legislator Arnold Drucker, Town of Oyster Bay Councilman was awarded from the state.

Local Civic Leader Announces Bid For Jericho School Board Jennifer Vartanov, the vocal co-founder of the Concerned Jericho Parents, has announced a campaign for Jericho School District Board of Education. The mother of three and resident of Old Westbury announced her bid last week on social media, and will be running independently for one of the two openings on the board. Vartanov brings to the race the budgetary experience of a business owner, who currently serves as the chief financial officer of one of the region’s largest payment processing companies. Her company, Merchant Industry/ Swipe4Free, services more than 15,000 clients across all 50 states and employs hundreds. Vartanov launched the 3,000+ member Concerned

Jericho Parents in 2020 in the interest of representing the voices of Jericho families in local affairs. The organization has been a vocal opponent of the proposed, New York City-style homeless shelter off of the Long Island Expressway South Service Road in Jericho, over safety concerns for the would-be residents and potential impact on the school district, among other concerns. Her involvement has brought significant attention to this matter and support from local officials, like Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joe Saladino, the town board, as well as several county legislators. Vartanov launched her campaign for school board as a “mother first,” and seeks to preserve the excellent quality of public education in

Jericho schools. After several weeks on a “listening tour,” where she was both weighing her candidacy for office and listening to parents’ concerns about the school district, she announced her priorities for change, which include increased transparency and accessibility to the board, improved communications, and the need for COVID-19 related mental health support services needed for Jericho students. Vartanov has three children, one in high school and twins in elementary school. Election Day for Jericho School District is May 18.

The past couple of summers have seen Skylar and Luke set up lemonade stands to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a pediatric treatment and research facility that doesn’t charge patients for their care.

Esther Rosenzweig Kosiner celebrated her 100th birthday by telling the incredible story of her life over Zoom led by her proud great-grandson Jaiden Berger, a sophomore at Roslyn High School. He began by explaining that he and all family and friends affectionately call her “Ima” (mother in Hebrew). With more than 100 attendees tuning in, Esther relived her childhood in Nazi Germany, caring for soldiers in the Israel Independence war and moving to Long Island to be with family that survived Auschwitz.

The goal of the campaign is to ensure that students develop safe driving habits that will allow them to attend their proms and graduation ceremonies. According to the CDC, motor vehicle crashes are the second leading cause of death for U.S. teens. Furthermore, motor vehicle crashes are higher among teens aged 16-19 than any other age group. During this campaign, the Garden

A serious house fire occurred in Floral Park last week on Mayfair Avenue in the village’s West End. Fire departments from Elmont, Stewart Manor, Garden City and New Hyde Park assisted the Floral Park Fire Department to put out the blaze. Fire could be seen billowing out of the roof and upstairs windows, which firefighters had to

break out. Neighbors and village officials were on the scene observing the blaze, which took about two hours to completely put out.

Under the direction of district library media specialist Sharon Layburn, students at all four school buildings utilized Common Sense Education’s digital citizenship resources that included lessons on internet safety, protecting online reputations and personal privacy, media balance, managing online relationships and media literacy. Due to her work with the students, Layburn was recognized as a Common Sense Educator.

“Now, more than ever, it is so important for our students to be aware of, and smart about, digital balance, online privacy, cyberbullying and other digital citizenship concerns,” Layburn said. “The Common Sense program is a valuable tool in helping us educate our community about these vital topics, and we are very proud to be recognized for helping our students navigate the online world!” Each of the four schools in the district have been individually recognized as Common Sense Schools as well. —Submitted by New Hyde ParkGarden City Park Union Free School District

New TravelStorys Self-Guided Cellphone Tour:

East End Back Story BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

ong Island Traditions has announced the release of East End Back Story on TravelStorys. This is the second tour on TravelStorys; a series of self-guided cell phone tours focusing on Long Island’s historical and contemporary sites of cultural significance. On the East End Back Story tour, you will hear from baymen, decoy carvers and boatyard owners. The route will take you around the east end of Long Island, including stops by scenic waterfront vistas on the south shore and on the north fork. This driving tour is part of the New York Back Story Tours developed by folklorists and cultural ethnographers working across the state. The tour series was created in order to bring you first-hand accounts of local lore that are not often heard. Stops on the tour reflect different aspects of local heritage throughout the state where local residents share narratives about the community. “Oftentimes we want to take tours

but can’t, because of timing or reasons that are beyond our control. We created these tours as a way to take a tour on own time and pace, at your leisure,” said Nancy Solomon of Long Island Traditions. Solomon was chosen to lead this statewide project and spearhead the implementation of the tours on the Travelstorys app and website. The TravelStorys tours are created using content that was collected by the local folklorist in the area. The series of tours on TravelStorys will include 10-15 tours statewide. Upcoming tours include North Fork Long Island boat tour as well as a cultural ethnic tour that travels through the North Fork of Long Island. The tours are designed to also stimulate local economic activity in the area. Examples of East End Back Story tour stops include the Hanff Boatyard and Wooden Boat Works in Greenport where we hear Hanff Boatyard owner John Costello recall how his family settled in Greenport when the railroad

was brought to the area. Stop by the Hallockville Museum Farm and Combs Decoy Shop on the North Fork in Riverhead and listen to Jack Combs tell stories of his father and grandfather teaching him the ways of the sea. Visit the Shinnecock fishing dock in Hampton Bays where we hear Ken Mades tell of his youthful days on the bay and how growing up on the bay was a utopia for the local kids. Then venture over to the nearby Shinnecock commercial fishing dock where Bill Reed brings us back to his early days when he was learning how to repair cod fishing newts properly. Venture out to Napeague State Park in Amagansett where David Clarke explains how menhaden or bunker fishing revolutionized the poultry industry. The TravelStorys project was funded and made possible by the Robert W. Lion Gardiner Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts.

Museum Of Art To Hold Exhibit On Andy Warhol

obody since Picasso has meant more to the course of art history than Andy Warhol (1928-87). Andy Warhol Portfolios: A Life in Pop | Works from the Bank of America Collection, a vibrant and important exhibition that includes his signature icons from his earliest paintings to his innovations in silkscreen printing, will be on view at the Nassau County Art Museum beginning May 8. The collection features the most famous images in Pop art, from the Campbell’s soup can and Marilyn Monroe, pioneering works made in the 1960s, to the late, great Vesuvius series, made just two years before his death in February 1987. One landmark museum show gathers masterworks from his early experimentations with the silkscreen process through the peak of his fame, on loan through the Bank of America Art in our communities program, and will reach a Long Island audience, including thousands of schoolchildren in local districts, who have never before had a local museum show dedicated to Andy Warhol. “We are absolutely thrilled to partner with the Bank of America, a longtime generous supporter of our education and exhibition efforts, on this fabulous show,” Angela S. Anton, president of the Museum’s board of trustees, said. Warhol’s appeal is uniquely universal. He is as popular with the public as he is with scholars (who

elevate him to the status of philosopher through his “transfigurations of the commonplace”). He seized the powerful tools of media and advertising right then in his own moment and, with an artistic alchemy that never fails to astonish, he returned the Campbell’s soup can to the supermarket aisle with the new aura of an artistic masterpiece. Publicity shots of celebrities, including Muhammad Ali and Albert Einstein, radiate the colorful energy of icons. As wildly popular as he is worldwide, there was always something essentially American about the achievement of this native of Pittsburgh, making the round trip between low and high, or between the remote and the ordinary (Space Fruit is a fantastic example of how he managed this in one work). This show, which will offer valuable lessons for thousands of school children as well as the general public, offers an historically important opportunity to teach a new generation about the importance of Warhol, and to open those who may be familiar with many of his works to a brandnew interpretation of a familiar figure. Even in person, Andy Warhol was an otherworldly presence whose rapid-fire production and mass-media ubiquity left an impression of distance, the way the celebrities he portrayed seemed to come from another world. This air of mystery pervades one of the most haunting works in the show, a self-portrait titled The Shadow. One of the many

strengths of this deep dive into his career is the way it draws him more closely to us. This is an opportunity to become acquainted with a more personal genius, in part through the intimacy of his magazine and record album designs (precious archival materials), his hand-colored flowers and some of his earliest interpretations of the Campbell’s Soup can and Marilyn Monroe portrait. The portfolios reveal the process that Warhol perfected, and the Museum installation will follow his grid format in the presentation of the series. Theme and variations bring us closer to the mind in creation, as we watch a basic idea develop in the hands of the artist. The ten versions of the Flowers, for example, cycle through color palettes as dramatically varied as the serial landscapes of Claude Monet. “At Bank of America, we believe in the power of at arts to help economies and communities thrive, particularly here on Long Island. While these vital institutions have been deeply impacted by the pandemic, their work remains as important as ever,” Connie Verducci, Bank of America NYC-Long Island Market executive, said. “It is our honor to support the Nassau County Museum of Art through Bank of America’s Art in our Communities program and bring some of Andy Warhol’s most iconic and thought-provoking works to Long Island.” —Submitted by the Nassau County Museum of Art

Planting Fields Foundation BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

lanting Fields will open its first exhibition of 2021, Everett Shinn: Operatics, will open on Saturday, May 8, for a limited-capacity preview, followed by the public opening on Wednesday, May 12, led by guided tours. On view through Nov. 14, the exhibition will present paintings, drawings, decorative murals, furnishings, objects and musical instruments by Everett Shinn (1876-1953) from the foundation’s collection, in addition to works from local public and private collections, some of which will be on view to the public for the first time. The exhibition tours include access inside the teahouse in the Italian garden which was last open to the public in 2014. Organized in four “acts” Everett Shinn: Operatics opens with Act I in Coe Hall where visitors will be introduced to the artist and his career in the second-floor gallery through nine paintings and works on paper made between 1908 and 1933. Act II follows in Mai Coe’s dressing room, featuring a collection of murals commissioned from Shinn by Planting Fields creators, W.R. and Mai Coe, who built a legacy of artistic patronage by supporting modern artists of their time. Act III in the reception room develops the story of Shinn’s decorative style through the Steinway piano he painted for Broadway playwright Clyde Fitch in 1906, along with two small painted studies for his murals in the Stuyvesant Theatre, commissioned by another Broadway producer and playwright, David Belasco, in 1907. The theatricality of Shinn’s work culminates in Act IV in the 1915 teahouse, one of Planting Fields’s architectural treasures, where visitors will encounter a unified ensemble of the artist’s murals, furnishings, and objects in a space designed in its totality by Shinn for Mai Coe. “Everett Shinn was a man of many talents, with a love for the dramatic at the core of all his work. In his long and prolific career, he produced illustrations for major Philadelphia and New York newspapers, challenged the artistic status quo with the urban realism of the Ashcan School, wrote and produced his own theatrical plays, designed sets for Hollywood films, and created commissioned paintings and interiors for some of New York’s most exclusive spaces,” said Meredith A. Brown, director of museum affairs and chief curator. “Planting Fields Foundation is fortunate not only to have several excellent examples of Shinn’s early paste and chalk drawings in our collection, but also to serve as steward of two of very few remaining private commissions designed and painted by Shinn.” A member of The Eight—a group of American modernists at the turn of the century dedicated to artistic individuality and a philosophical commitment to creativity—Shinn is best known for his paintings of gritty scenes of urban poor and vaudeville stages. While the metropolitan vision of The Eight and what has become known as the Ashcan School helped to usher in the Progressive era, Shinn’s artistic oeuvre was more complex and varied than the traditional narrative of American modernism has allowed. A lover of theater, music and performance of all kinds, Shinn embraced the decorative alongside the debased, and throughout his long career he created works on paper, canvas, furnishings, architecture, even pianos and stage sets, that engaged with a raucous decorative aesthetic often termed Rococo revival.

Gift For Property Owners: Lower Tax Levy BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

hanks to the largesse in the state budget, the Westbury School District can give a rare gift to its property-owning residents: a lower tax levy for the 2021-22 school year. And perhaps beyond. State Senator Anna Kaplan (D–Great Neck) and Assemblyman Charles Lavine (D–Glen Cove) traveled to Westbury High School on April 23 to highlight the record-setting state aid to education in the Fiscal 2022 state budget ($29.5 billion, an 11 percent increase). Westbury is expected to receive about $66 million in state aid in 2021-22, a $10.6 million increase. The preliminary tax levy estimate that the district sent to the state comptroller showed a 2.96 percent increase (about $2.445 million). With state aid, the levy dropped by a total of 3.36 percent, saving taxpayers about $2.885 million. “After years of fighting to fully fund our public schools, we’ve finally done it,” Kaplan said at the press conference. “And we fought very hard to make sure every district throughout the state gets the funding it deserves. And get the school aid that they need so that we don’t burden the

taxpayers with higher taxes. I’m proud to report that we’re bringing record breaking numbers to our schools throughout this state. And we have a commitment that this will continue for the next three years to bring everyone to the full 100 percent of school aid that they deserve.” Lavine stated, “For far too long, this district has struggled and simply hasn’t had enough money to be able to fund what’s necessary to educate the wonderful students who attend this school. We have fought in Albany for years to get more money to districts like Westbury. For so long we were unable to find a partner on the Senate side to

be able to match our interest in making sure that districts like Westbury get their fair share of funding.” In Kaplan, the assemblyman observed, he finally found a partner in the upper chamber who shared his love of and support for public education. Board of Education President Robert Troiano praised the legislators for always coming through for the district. “My colleagues on the board have a responsibility to the students behind us. That is our top priority,” Troiano said. “But we also have a responsibility to the taxpayers. We have responsibility to balance the needs of our

next year it will be even more. And more the year after that.” Representing the taxpayers at the meeting were Ren Zelaya and Isabel Lomax. Lomax said, “After the year that we’ve had, having this additional funding is going to do wonders for our students and also knowing that the property owners in this district like myself have undergone unprecedented challenges and we’re extremely grateful that there is relief on the way. And we look forward to the tax decreases that are yet to come and the additional support for our students.” “This community has been burdened with tax rate that does not match a community of working class citizens,” Zelaya said. “The school board has done an excellent job of trying to continue to provide the students with a top-notch education comparable to our neighbors all around us, who are some of the wealthiest and top-rated districts in all of the state. And here we are with a burden on taxpayers that were are finally able to see decrease.”

students against the interests of the taxpayers of Westbury. But in the last decades, there has been a real imbalance. We have had to increase and increase and increase the taxes paid by the Westbury community in order to provide a basic education for our students. They’ve had an unfair burden, an unfair share of the moneys it takes to run a school district.” With the assurance of more state aid in the upcoming state budgets, Troiano stated, “My colleagues here today have unanimously agreed to What did you think start a program of reducing of this article?

Senior Center Reopening This Month After closing its doors to members over a year ago, the team at Senior Citizens of Westbury, Inc. is excited to announce the “soft” reopening of the Center on May 3. While the building itself, the Westbury Community Center, at 360 Post Ave., has been closed for member activities and use, the team has been working throughout the duration of the pandemic, providing essential services to area seniors, and conducting outdoor activities, deliveries, and giveaways, serving up daily grab-and-go curbside meals, offering virtual classes and workshops, helping older adults secure the COVID vaccine, and more. During this initial phase of the reopening, the center will

be open to members who have pre-registered, by signing up for social activities in the building, up to three halfdays per week. In the spirit of cautious optimism, the center’s administration is acting conservatively, and only allowing a maximum of 30 members in the building at any given time (about 20 percent of capacity), despite the current allowable 40 percent capacity recommendation by the county Department of Health and Human Services. Pre-registered members can use the center on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings and afternoons to meet up with member-friends, socialize, have refreshments, play games and cards, and participate

in pop-up activities, presentations, and workshops. All members who have been participating in a variety of fun and interesting virtual classes will continue to do so until late June 2021. The center’s Special Friends group, who have more pronounced physical and

cognitive needs and often attend accompanied by aides, will be returning one day per week in late May. Their participation is unfortunately a bit more limited right now, because of transportation limitations necessitated by COVID transmission risk. Executive Director Paul Ragusa-Schweitzer stated that the center has carefully devised and is implementing member participation safety and respect policies and protocols, and the plan is to carefully monitor things during this “soft reopening phase, taking baby steps and hopefully adding more activities and classes, especially outdoors, as we move into the summer.” Further, Ragusa-Schweitzer reported,

particularly due to the impact of the pandemic and the fiscal challenges of 2020, Senior Citizens of Westbury is eager to revitalize old relationships, and build new ones, with businesses and other organizations in the community, to find ways to collaborate and maximize resources, cultivate support and sponsorships for classes and events, and ultimately get back on track with solid fundraising to support the center’s work in enriching the lives of Westbury area seniors. For more information about the Center and its programs, and to learn how to become a member, call 516-334-5886. —Submitted by Senior Citizens of Westbury, Inc.

This annual event raises funds for a local charity organization or family each year. Due to the pandemic, this year the talent show was live streamed on GCTV, the high school’s student run television network, for all community members to view. This year’s fundraising efforts were dedicated to 11th grader Ryan Aguilar who has been battling a rare form of cancer, called osteosarcoma. Through two fundraising efforts, the talent show, and another fundraiser initiated by Dana Spagholetti, one of Aguilar’s teachers, Glen Cove High School was able to raise approximately $4,000 for Aguilar and his family. A variety of acts were encouraged, including singing, playing musical instruments, dancing, performing magic tricks, stand-up comedy, juggling and more.

But this tight pack of teammates that have grown into a family rallied together and fought to give the young star at striker, Ben Avakook a change to tie the game. With great skill and immeasurable beauty, the ball was placed just beyond the opposing goal keepers outstretched arms. The Blazers have tied the game and sent it to overtime.

The proposed property tax levy increase of 1.98 percent is well below the tax cap limit of 2.45 percent, with a budget increase of 2.89 percent.

Because of loopholes in our current laws, nearly a quarter of Americans who obtain firearms do so without obtaining a background check—including criminals, domestic abusers and other prohibited buyers. And every day in America, more than 100 people are killed from gun violence, and hundreds more are injured. As volunteer leaders with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, we’ve seen the devastation left behind as families and communities are shattered

in the wake of gun violence. We are grateful that Senators Schumer and Gillibrand support a strong background check bill and urge them to make it a priority in the Senate. We hope that our neighbors will join us in raising our voices on this issue. To join our nationwide, nonpartisan movement to end gun violence, text READY to 644-33.

We cannot accept this as normal. New York is not immune to this national epidemic and to save lives and end these senseless killings, we need more than thoughts and prayers, we need the U.S. Senate to act on background checks on all gun sales and we need continued commitment from our leaders to fight gun violence.

Earth Day And Transit Make For Perfect Partners All Year Let us celebrate Earth Day April 22 all year long. Besides recycling newspapers, magazines, glass, plastics, old medicines, paints and cleaning materials, there are other actions you can take which will also contribute to a cleaner environment.

Depending upon your community, there may be various options, such as local and express bus, ferry, jitney, subway and commuter rail services. Most of these systems are funded with your tax dollars, including grants from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). They use less fuel and move far more people than cars. In many cases, your employer can offer transit checks to help subsidize a portion of the costs. Utilize

your investments and reap the benefits. You’ll be supporting a cleaner environment, reduce your carbon footprint and be less stressed upon arrival at your final destination. More employers continue to allow employees to telecommute and work from home full or part time. Others use alternative work schedules, which afford staff the ability to avoid rush hour gridlock. This saves travel time and can improve mileage per gallon. You could join a car or van pool to share the costs of commuting. Use a hand-powered lawn mower instead of a gasoline or electric one. Rake your leaves instead of using gasoline-powered leaf blowers. The amount of pollution created by gasoline-powered lawn mowers or leaf blowers will surprise you.

I Was Shot—Twice! Before I share my adventures with the COVID-19 vaccine, as a public service let me recommend the practice of cutting the straps on masks before discarding them. Birds and other wildlife are getting caught in disposed masks and we can save the life of animals by this one simple step. Speaking of saving lives, the COVID-19 vaccine has so much promise as we strive to get past this horrid pandemic. Over a recent four-week period, I did funerals for four more people who died from the virus—none of them had been vaccinated and there are now four more families who have an aching hole in their hearts. Not a day goes by that they don’t wish they had their loved ones back. It’s because I’ve been dealing with COVID-19 deaths that I was anxious to get vaccinated myself. I felt such relief when I received my second shot. Not only did I feel safer than I have in a year, but I could get back to doing what I’ve had to defer for so long—visiting people who sought prayers for their own recovery. Of course, over those months, I was praying for anyone who asked me to. But my own doctor cautioned me against physically visiting patients in hospitals, homebound elderly, or ill people in their homes. I could have caught the virus from them or carried the virus to them. Now that I’m fully vaccinated, I feel free to being more fully engaged in ministering to the people I care so much about.

Taking The Mosquito Battle To The Next Level Batman has The Joker, Superman has Lex Luthor and Spiderman has the Green Goblin. Every superhero has an archenemy. Sometimes the superhero wins, sometimes the archenemy wins. Both sides spend an inordinate amount of time scheming on how to get rid of each other. Archenemies plan elaborate traps that will lead to the death of the superhero. The superhero, for the most part, wants the criminal brought to justice. Unfortunately, eliminating one supervillain leaves an immediate opening for a new one to emerge. This leads us to my annual battle with the mosquito. Like a classic archenemy, mosquitos are persistent and not going away. Chemical warfare is temporary, depending on which way the wind is blowing. I’m not sure how effective citronella candles and torches are, but they make you feel like you are at a Tribal Council meeting on Survivor.

My son James, armed with the strength and determination of a 32-year-old, did the yeoman’s share of the work. As a 64-year-old, I was limited in my role, acting more like a foreman and organizer of parts. With my other son Kevin and wife chipping in with additional muscle when needed, we formed a pretty good team. On Sunday morning, I got a chance to get a good look at it for the first time, and it brought a tear to my eye. In my head, I heard the opening lyrics to Springsteen’s “Cadillac Ranch” and it made me smile: “There she sits, buddy, just gleaming in the sun. There to greet a working man when the day is done.” Holy Fortress of Solitude, Batman. This time, I think we’ve got it.

The Magic Of Music And Memories Music is magical. Ask anyone who has ever “hit the wall” during a morning run, only to switch on a few tunes. Within moments, the upbeat pace of a song brings renewed strength to continue the workout. Music can soothe frayed nerves and has the power to uplift a weary mind. Even Marie Osmond knew of the healing power of music, for her tenth solo album is named, Music is Medicine. Several weeks ago, I wrote about music, but this column is a little different. Read on to discover whether music has left an impact on your own soul. As Stevie Wonder once said, “Music at its essence is what gives us memories.” Whenever I hear The Four Tops’ 1965 hit, “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)”, I can

himself are still embedded in my brain, which is what pops up every time the song plays. Another song that has the power to bring me back several decades is Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song.” My sister, our family’s rocker extraordinaire, listened to classic bands like Pink Floyd, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin for most of her teen years. We joked that “Hot Dog” by Led Zeppelin was our favorite song on their In Through the Out Door album. We also sang the opening howl of “Immigrant Song” ad nauseum, much to Mom’s chagrin. The song once evoked memories of Love’s Baby Soft, bell-bottomed jeans and the bubble-gum scent of Max Factor’s Kissing Potion lip gloss.

continued from previous page memories, indeed. Last weekend, I was in the supermarket for a few necessities while Hubby waited in the car. My phone buzzed, which prompted me to glance at my FitBit for clarification. Hubby had sent me an image of the current song on the radio, which was The Vogues’ “Turn Around, Look at Me.” Instantly, I was transported back to the visitor lounge and a payphone at the hospital of my former employment. I had made a last-minute call to our band to request the song be played at our wedding at the “behest” of my father-in-law. It was a favorite song of my

mother-in-law’s, who had recently passed away. To honor her memory, we had the song played at our wedding several days later, though the band never learned all the words and had muffled snickers related to the same. Whenever the song is played, one of us will relate the memory with an added, “Pop’s around, he’s

playing his song.” The song that holds the greatest impact for my husband and I would have to be Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Waters.” There is always vehicular silence during the song, especially during the third stanza, which begins with “Sail on, Silver Girl.” This has always been my husband’s secret reference to our daughter, especially during her turbulent teen years. When she graduated from LIU with her Master’s in Special Education, he played the song several times for emphasis as he raised the volume during the lyrics, “Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way. See how they

shine. Oh, if you need a friend, I’m sailing right behind.” Anyone who knows my husband also knows that he is a man of few words. This song speaks volumes about what is in his heart, especially as we round the corner on the anniversary of when she moved out. The memories connected to the song have changed, but the emotion remains strong and true. Plato once said, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” Jane Swan wisely asked, “How is it that music can, without words, evoke our laughter, our fears, our highest aspirations?” Music is indeed

magical. Even Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones stated, “Music is a language that doesn’t speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions and if it’s in the bones, it’s in the bones.” I could not agree more. Patty Servidio is an Anton Media Group columnist.

A Season Of Growth And Opportunity On The Horizon “Spring is in the air” and “hope springs eternal”—those are two expressions that come to mind this time of year. It is always refreshing to feel the pleasant change in the weather along with the blooming of trees, shrubs and lawns—and a time of year when important community initiatives are blossoming as well. As we embark upon the second—and hopefully final—year of the COVID-19 pandemic, that sensation has taken on extra comfort and appreciation. On the Legislature and in county government, we are fueled by that optimism. My office continues to assist residents in obtaining appointments for the vaccines that will open the door to brighter days ahead. Nassau County is retooling plans to vaccinate homebound seniors so that we may reach as many residents as possible. As of this writing I have been informed that approximately 80 percent of our seniors have been vaccinated—a tremendously encouraging statistic. Earlier this month, I introduced legislation to amend Nassau County’s Human Rights Law to protect our residents from unlawful discrimination based on irrational, false and unfounded perceptions of responsibility for the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in Asian-Americans

Now is the time to redouble our efforts so that victimization continues to decline and fewer and fewer Nassau residents become victims of crime,” Curran said.

Director of the Office of Crime Victim Advocate Jeanine Diehl-Paulson added, “National Crime Victims’ Rights Week is a time to remember those we have lost, recognize survivors of crime and raise awareness of victims’ rights and services. It is a time to stand with families, neighbors, friends, and colleagues whose lives have been forever altered by crime. Elected officials, law enforcement, county agencies,

service providers, community partners and advocates stood with survivors in solidarity and made a collective commitment to reach out, listen, and support them as they journey on a path to justice and healing. As a county and a community, we committed to support victims and survivors by earning and building on their trust. We will continue to provide victims with the resources and assistance that is needed in the aftermath of a crime. Nassau works to ensure that victims’ and witnesses are afforded all the legal rights, protections, and assistance they are entitled to under the law and that they treated with dignity fairness and respect.” For information about this year’s NCVRW and how to assist victims in your own community, contact The Office of Crime Victim Advocate at 516-571-1598.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You already want to do what’s best for all. So relax and don’t overthink the rest. Tap into the wisdom of nonhuman organisms -- you know, the ones who don’t bother with a preoccupation of their own importance. They do, to the best of their ability, what they were meant to do, and so will you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Back then, you wanted to fit in and experience the popular thing, feel the comfort of belonging and the strength in numbers. Now, you’re craving something else -- an experience that’s magical and meaningful because it’s only for you. The star exchange of the week is one you’ll prize for its singularity.

Solution: 23 Letters

WORD FIND

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 23 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

Surf Lifesaving Solution: 23 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you want someone to blame, then you’ll have at least three strong contenders, although no good comes from that route. It’s quicker to take a breath and clean it up like it was your mess. It’s not, but that’s not the point. The point is you can still make your goal if you just keep moving forward. Let nothing stop you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your wish list is filled with items particular to you. The others have no interest. Check your list often to remind yourself of your wishes and plans. This is no time to drift into the tide of commonality. There’s nothing wrong with conformity, but you can’t have what you want and be like everyone else at the same time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t have to make yourself more lovable to please anyone else, so the fact that you want to anyway will bring up questions. Where is this desire coming from? Is it unworthiness, ambition or a wish to fulfill a particular aesthetic? What is the difference? Does it matter? What are you driven to do about it? SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re not responsible for other people’s reactions, but it sure feels that way. The instinct to take credit for joy or assume blame for disappointment speaks to the connectedness you feel with others. Feelings will be sorted in the name of clarity and a more comprehensive understanding of your reality. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Things are the way they are because someone thought they should be. You have your own opinions, and you’ll get behind them to make things happen around you. This is what believing in yourself means this week -- accepting the fact that you are no different from anyone who’s made things happen in the world. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re bold this week and in no mood to hide out. Of course, you take a risk when you tell the truth about who you are what you want. It could go over brilliantly, in which case you’ll be warmly embraced. It could be drama, in which case you find out where you don’t belong -- good information. Either way, you win. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You know that you do a brilliant job looking after yourself. Therefore, you feel pretty confident that you can look after others in a nurturing way. This week, you’ll see how the relationship you have with yourself colors every other relationship, providing obvious standards and boundaries. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The revelry begins the moment you start paying attention to the beauty in front of you. There are important matters that steer your attention, but you will also be a stickler for noticing how long they actually need to hold it. If life is a highway, then getting off at the correct exits dictates much of your experiences.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

The year swings from the literal to the metaphoric and then glides back over it all with a sponge to blur the lines. It’s like you’re living inside a poem, or maybe you are the poem -- and the poet, too. Love is a force you obey, wield, dance with and surrender to. It would be a hilarious understatement to say you’ll go out of your way to do so, as it will often feel as though your whole existence is curled around love’s command. A welcome wave of abundance comes your way seven weeks from now. COPYRIGHT 2021 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The main event this week is a metaphoric potluck banquet. And while the situation feels free and generous, you can bet you’re being judged for your contributions. Does it give you pause? It’s time to think seriously about what you bring to the table. Find where your talents intersect the group’s need.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You prize humor, though it’s not the only quality you’re after now. With this current ambitious mood, you seek the kind of company that is comfortable with, if not stellar at, giving and receiving encouragement. Sharing ideas with positive and proactive people will inspire you to new heights.

he Ryan Isom express continued to rumble as the MacArthur Generals steamrolled into the playoffs behind their star running back. Isom rushed for 223 yards and two touchdowns during MacArthur’s 28-7 win over South Side in the Nassau County semifinals. This marked the third game this season in which Isom has surpassed 200 rushing yards. Quarterback Ryan Muller connected on a 20-yard touchdown pass to Matt Papach for the Generals, who improved to 6-1. MacArthur will meet Garden City for the Class A County championship. Also returning to the county championship game will be the MacArthur Lady Generals soccer team. Fiona Killian scored the game-winning goal in the 94th minute as MacArthur (13-0-2) beat Garden City, 2-1, in double overtime of the county semifinals. Kaitlin Tung assisted on

MacArthur’s Madison Hnis scored the game-tying goal late in regulation to force overtime. MacArthur is the defending Nassau County Class A champions. Earlier in the week, in the quarterfinals, MacArthur posted a 5-1 win over Bethpage, Hailey Hnis scored four goals for MacArthur and Hailey

Metzger added two assists. In other playoff action, the Jericho boys topped Island Trees in penalty kicks, 4-2. The Bulldogs’ Nick Drew made seven saves. Great Neck North beat the MacArthur boys soccer team, 2-0. In girls action, Seaford (12-0-1) blanked Division, 5-0, as Niki Kassimatis and Olivia Pearse both had

two goals and an assist for Seaford. Back over to the gridiron, Wantagh beat Seaford 45-22 behind Tyler Martini, who ran for 227 yards and three touchdowns. The Warriors’ running attack controlled the game as Martini and his teammates Mark Manet (113 yards) and Nick Cupel (101) helped Wantagh gain more than 400 yards on the ground. Local high schools are well represented on college diamonds across Long Island. Over at LIU Post, left-handed pitcher Michael Andreoli has made three appearances for the Sharks this season and has yet to yield a run in six-plus innings of work. Andreoli is a former All-County star at MacArthur. At Adelphi, Daniella Roselli is batting .340 with 13 RBI for the Panthers softball team. Roselli played her high school softball at Division and was an All-County infielder. —James Rowan is a Levittown resident
