Parents Protest School Indoor Mask Mandates

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

A

s COVID-19 positivity rates continue to plummet and vaccination numbers go up, Long Island parents are chafing at certain pandemic restrictions Governor Andrew Cuomo has continued to enforce. With only two weeks left in the school year, Cuomo did an about-face, revoking a previously voluntary indoor mask mandate and making face coverings mandatory on June 7.

Backlash was swift as a midday rally was held at Massapequa’s John J. Burns Park on Tuesday, June 8. Parents, students and a number of media outlets and public officials were all in attendance.

Diversity Is Lacking

TOP STORY

Police force doesn’t reflect county’s racial makeup

BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

The Committee

T

he statistics don’t lie. Of the nearly 2,300 people that make up the Nassau County Police Department, only .78 percent are of Hispanic heritage, and .04 percent are African Americans.

The figures contrast with a county population that is 17.5 percent Hispanic and 11.3 percent Black.

Further, this state of affairs is in the face of federal Department of Justice consent decrees seeking greater diversification that go back for decades.

“Clearly, [the consent decrees] are not working,” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran told Anton Media Group. “We need fresh ideas on how to do more minority recruiting. We’re working on it. We certainly have African American representation in the upper echelons of the department.”

She was referring to Chief of Department Steven Palmer, the highest-ranking uniformed officer, and several others in the leadership team.

“I always say, if your department looks like your community, it builds trust in a better way,” she continued.

The county executive recently announced the formation of the Nassau County Police Diversity Committee to improve police hiring. It will take a look, she said, “at one, the consent decrees, if they need to be rescinded or rethought. Two, looking at the civil service [policies and procedures] and how they need to be updated and amended.

And three, what we can do to boost minority recruitment.

We already have some things in place that you’ll see in upcoming classes being sworn in. So it’s slowly happening, but it needs to happen more quickly.”

She added, “But when it comes to the civil service, we want more, and this committee will help us in practical ways, what we can do as a county,

We have a mentor program that we started recently—it was the Guardians, the black police officers society that came up with this idea. So we have black officers who are mentoring new recruits. We all want them to succeed.”

At a recent press conference to introduce committee members, Curran stated, “This committee brings together key stakeholders with a mission of improving diversity in county police hiring through the three stages of the hiring: The first is recruitment. We want to focus on new methods and strategies to reach more potential police officers from all of our communities. We’ve been

trying. We’ve been working on that. We’re open to new ideas.

Testing is the second one.

Working with minority candidates to help prepare for each facet of the police examination and the hiring practice.”

As far as training, the third stage, the county executive has high hopes about the new police training center slated to open later this year on the campus of Nassau Community College (NCC). In a press release, she said she wants to assist “minority candidates in the Police Academy to finish their rigorous training.”

“We’re focusing on each stage of the process for hiring.

Because in many cases the county has had many candidates sign up, and they got lost in the process,” she said. “It’s

a big task. We’re looking to get right to work. And not waste any time in this important work.”

Referencing the committee members arrayed behind her, she said, “I’m asking all of these people, all of these brains to come together to provide me recommendations ahead of the next civil service exam. I think this is a group of people who aren’t afraid to take on something challenging, something difficult.

Something that says you can never change. Let’s see what we can do. We’re ready to go.”

Curran requested that the county’s civil service department schedule a police exam in 2022.

Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder admitted to Anton Media Group that minority representation was small “We’re trying hard to recruit, to bring the minorities in.

We see a growing Hispanic population. We also see that in the police department—that’s growing very quick. But not so much in the African-American [community]. Maybe it’s a trust factor. Maybe we need to do more work. That’s why we have to reform and that’s what we’re after.”

The commissioner came under fire for suggesting in

Nassau’s Police Diversity Committee will be chaired

by Bishop Lionel Harvey of the First Baptist Cathedral of Westbury, the deputy director for Diversity and Engagement in the county’s Office of Minority Affairs, and will include the following members: Theresa Sanders: President of Urban League of Long Island Dr. Jermaine Williams: President of Nassau Community College (NCC) Leslie Davis: President of Westbury NAACP George Siberón: Executive Director of Hempstead Hispanic Civic Association Jay Singh: Member of Asian American Affairs Council and Indian American Association Toufique Harun: Muslims for Progress Gabriela Castillo: Nassau County Office of Legislative Affairs Martha Krisel: Executive Director of Nassau County Civil Service Officer Shajarah Williams: NCPD Community Affairs (recruitment) an interview that “broken families” kept minorities from advancing.

In an interview with Anton Media Group, Curran said, “I don’t think that family makeup has much of a difference on diversity or lack of diversity in the police department.”

Curran was asked, “Is the police commissioner’s job safe? His critics have been asking for his resignation.”

“Yes, his job is safe,” she replied.

While the station’s complete restoration remains on course, this significant event comes after the full restoration of the western and southern facades—due in large part (and with great thanks) to major donors, including The Dolan Family Foundation, The Bahnik Family Foundation and the Robert D. L. Gardiner Foundation.

Over the last several months, board members and volunteers concentrated their efforts in upgrading the station’s interior to accommodate various displays and exhibits, along with dedicated areas for a gift shop and information center.

The turntable, which was long used by the Long Island Railroad to reverse direction of locomotives on the Oyster Bay line, has been made fully operational after great dedication and commitment from our volunteers and third party contractors.

Oyster Bay Railroad Station, 1903 The celebration will take place on June 26, beginning at 10 a.m. at the Station (1 Railroad Ave. in Oyster Bay—the northern end of upper Audrey Ave., just north

of Oyster Bay Town Hall). It will continue at 11 a.m. in recognition of the Turntable at the Museum’s Display Yard just east of the station (Bay Avenue, Oyster Bay, at the

marina entrance to Theodore Roosevelt Park).

Church Ministry Helps Neighbors In Need

BY ERIKA ALDANA hicksville@antonmediagroup.com

M

embers of St. Ignatius Loyola Church’s Society of St. Vincent de Paul have been very busy before and during the worst of the pandemic and are helping residents in Hicksville recover from financial losses. The 10 members, or Vincentians, as they call themselves, are a diverse and intergenerational group of dedicated volunteers. The Society’s mission states they are, “A network of friends, inspired by Gospel values, growing in holiness and building a more just world through personal relationships with and service to people in need.” The nonprofit’s motto is simply, “We Help People” and they have been doing this prior to and throughout the pandemic by providing direct relief to neighbors in need.

COVID-19 has been devastating to many Hicksville residents. It has been as catastrophic financially as it has been physically and emotionally.

Those struggling with poverty in Hicksville sought the members of the Society to seek help, spiritual comfort or just a compassionate ear to listen.

During the worst of the pandemic, many lost their employment and

furniture including, mattresses, dining room furniture, baby furniture, etc.

As we are now beginning to see the end of the pandemic and light at the end of the tunnel, many are hopeful for the promise this year will bring.

Great Neck Kids Take Action

F

ollowing the recent Operation Guardian of the Walls in Israel, two children in Great Neck decided to take action and raise money to support the wellbeing of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers.

Zachary H., 12 and Jordan P. 13, along with their family and friends, coordinated a local car wash raising more than $10,000 as a donation to Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF). Rabbi Levy at Beth Hadassah Synagogue in Great Neck helped mobilize much of the community to join and support the event.

“This initiative was a quick response to our emergency campaign,” FIDF Long Island Chapter Executive Director, Pninit Cole said. “It brought the community together and enabled everyone involved to unite and play a role in supporting IDF soldiers. This is a great example of solidarity and collective efforts. The world needs more Jordans and Zachs and we cannot wait to see what the two of them will do next. We at FIDF salute them.”

“As the son of a former IDF soldier, I find what is occurring in our world today incredibly heartbreaking. We need to stand up for our nation by supporting the soldiers who are

Members of the Great Neck community at the car wash. risking their lives to defend our homeland,” Jordan said.

“With the rise of anti-Semitism, it’s now more important than ever to support the homeland of the Jewish people,“ Zachary said.

FIDF was established in 1981 by a group of Holocaust survivors as a nonprofit organization with the mission of offering educational, cultural, recreational and social programs and facilities that provide hope, purpose,

and life-changing support for the soldiers who protect Israel and Jews worldwide. FIDF proudly supports IDF soldiers, families of fallen soldiers and wounded veterans through a variety of innovative programs that reinforce the vital bond between the communities in the United States, the soldiers of the IDF, and the state of Israel.

“At Amazon, we strive to be not only a great employer but a great neighbor too. As we grow our presence on Long Island, it’s important to us that we leverage our scale for good and support the local communities where our associates live and work,” Jenna Hilzenrath, Amazon spokesperson said. “We admire the important work United Way is doing and it’s an honor to partner with them to help make an impact in the community.”

This gift will help provide funding for services and resources to Long Island military veterans and their families. This includes employment services and career training, education, emergency financial assistance, as well as health and housing support. The need is particularly significant as more than 95,000 veterans live on Long Island and many are struggling to make ends meet.

“As Amazon expands across Long Island, we’re pleased to work together to provide opportunities for veterans to achieve financial stability, be in good health and find success in education and career pathways,” Theresa A. Regnante, president and CEO of United Way of Long Island, said.

Battle Lines Drawn For Indoor Mask Mandates Massapequa and Farmingdale parents protest state code reversal

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonemediagroup.com

A

s COVID-19 positivity rates continue to plummet and vaccination numbers go up, Long Island parents are chafing at certain pandemic restrictions Governor Andrew Cuomo has continued to enforce. With only two weeks left in the school year, Cuomo did an about-face, revoking a previously voluntary indoor mask mandate and making face coverings mandatory on June 7. New York State has been taking its lead from the CDC. Health Commissioner Howard Zucker sent a letter to the national public health agency on June 4 indicating the state was going to issue an edict making indoor use voluntary for schools unless CDC policy ran counter to this.

At this point, three Long Island districts, Sachem, Massapequa and Patchogue-Medford, were mask-optional until Cuomo provided clarification shortly after the school day started on June 7. All three districts had to reinstate the rule that same day. In addition, the state sent written correspondence and made a phone call to Massapequa School Superintendent Lucille Iconis, who was informed the district was to reinstate the indoor mask mandate effective June 8. According to a press release sent to parents and posted on the district website, “The governor’s representative made it clear that the district would incur sanctions for non-compliance, which would include, but not be limited to monetary fines, school closures and the ability to operate in person. Based on these directives, effective immediately, all students, staff and visitors must wear masks indoors. The mask mandate also extends to school buses. The board of education has no other option at this point than to comply with the law and directives of the governor of New York State.”

Mask wearing continued to not be required for outdoor activities.

Otherwise, the mask wearing mandate is to remain in effect through the remainder of the school year, unless subsequent guidance to remove this mandate is issued by the state.

Backlash was swift as a midday rally was held at Massapequa’s John J. Burns Park on June 8. Parents, students and a number of public officials showed up. Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino attended and released a statement

Others decried the

Abboud and a number of Farmingdale parents wanted the district to write Albany about overturning these guidelines.

While the district declined comment, Farmingdale School District Superintendent Paul Defendini released a statement reiterating that the indoor mask mandate would be enforced starting June 8. It also read, “Both the district administration and board of education realize and appreciate the differing viewpoints many in our community have regarding mask wearing in our schools. However, the governor was very clear in his directive—masks must be worn by all students, staff and visitors while in school buildings. We will continue to follow this mandate until such time as the district receives updated guidance from either the governor’s office, NYSED, or NYSDOH, which at this time, requires masks to be worn by all while inside district buildings.

Not following these mandates could result in serious consequences.”

An additional question and answer fact sheet on the district website explained exceptions (any student with a medical concern caused by mask wearing), places and times where mask wearing wouldn’t be enforced (during physical education classes and outdoor recess) and what the fall might look like (impossible to predict in May what September will look like).

FROM THE COUNTY SEAT

Legislature Introduces Bill Giving Combat Veterans PTO For Medical Treatment N

assau County Legislator Steve Rhoads joined with combat veterans, PTSD experts, Nassau County employees and union officials to announce the introduction of a bill that will provide an additional five paid days off of paid-time-off (PTO) for combat veterans in the Nassau County government employee workforce. This time can be used for VA appointments, physical therapy or psychological or stress-related treatment.

The legislation is authorized by New York State Military Law §242 that went into effect Nov. 11, 2019 and specifically applies to Nassau County officers or employees that are combat theater veterans and combat zone of operations veterans.

“I am proud to announce my support for a bill that provides our veterans who are now employed by Nassau County with five additional days of paid sick leave while utilizing mental or physical healthcare related services connected to combat,” Legislator Rhoads said. “It is crucial

Leg. Steve Rhoads introduced the bill in June, which is also known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness month. (Contributed photo) that our veterans receive the respect, support and care that they deserve and not have to worry about missing paid days at work.”

Legislator Bill Gaylor added, “As a legislator and retired Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army, I am proud to

co-sponsor this important legislation that will help to get Nassau’s combat veterans the help they may need.

Whether it be the physical or mental wounds of war, our message to combat veterans now serving Nassau County is simple: we support you and will

continue to do everything we can to give you the resources you need. You deserve nothing less.”

“This bill is very overdue, and I am very happy to see it become law,” Matthew Schmitt, president of Nassau Police Veterans Association said.

“There are county workers who have to go to appointments that are related to their combat illnesses and their injuries, and some of these injuries are not visible. Many veterans don’t want to come forward and say they have PTSD, so this bill will give them five days that they can use as sick days, where they don’t have to say it’s PTSD related, only related to illness or combat injury.”

The bill, which went before legislative committees on June 14, is being introduced in June, which is also known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness month. Combat veterans are especially susceptible to PTSD due to the rigor of their service and traumatic experience.

Village Urges Residents To Conserve Water

The Garden City Water Department would like to remind its customers that as we enter the summer season, the volume of water used throughout the village increases significantly. We want to remind residents that lawn sprinkling is permitted only from April 16 to Nov. 30 during the hours of 5 a.m. and

10 a.m. and 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Properties with odd numbered addresses are permitted to use their sprinklers on odd numbered days and even numbered or those without a numerical address on even numbered days. We are asking that you be especially diligent this summer with water conservation as the ongoing

infrastructure improvements being done in the water department have put more significant demands on the system and water supply than normal. If you have a sprinkler system please check with your irrigation company to make sure that your sprinkler zones are set properly. Ask your irrigation company to install

a rain sensor if you do not already have one. This will shut down your irrigation system on days where there is rainfall.

Summer In The Streets

The village and Chamber of Commerce once again present “Summer in the Streets” every Thursday through

Saturday until Sept. 11 from 6 to 11 p.m. Seventh Street will be closed for pedestrians only for on-street, outdoor dining and shopping.

She had a batting average of .500, with three doubles, four triples, four home runs, 13 RBI, 43 stolen bases. On the mound, she threw 59 strikeouts for the season.

Another of our strongest offensive players was senior Marlena Brown with a .377 avg, two doubles, one triple, two homers, 19 RBI and 39 stolen bases. Finally, on offense, senior Jayden Anderson had a .316 avg, two doubles, one triple, one home run, 14 RBI, and 21 stolen bases. As far as defense, third baseman Marilyn Martinez, shortstop Katherine JuarezMedina and catcher Shannon Farnum each had multiple putouts every game keeping Westbury on top.

The team achieved football-like scores in late-season victories.

On May 14, the Green Dragons beat Lawrence 23-10 in Nassau Conference 7 action. Patricio had six strikeouts in the win, and also went 5-for-5 with three RBI. Melissa Albelo had four putouts and assists at second base.

Brown went 4-for-5 with a home run and five RBIs, Chrisline Boyer went 2-for-5 with an RBI, Juarez-Medina went 4-for-6 with three RBIs. Martinez went 4-for-6 with an RBI. After a loss to conference leader Valley Stream Central, Westbury bounced back on May 20 with a 30-13 blitzing of Uniondale. Game winning pitcher Jacqueline Mendez

pitched all seven innings with four strikeouts, caught two fly balls, and had two assists to first. Shortstop Juarez-Medina and second baseman Albelo assisted in making six other outs to keep Uniondale from scoring.

On offense, Brown went 4-for-6 with a grand slam, bringing her RBI count to six for the day. Juarez-Medina went 4-for-6 with one RBI. Farnum went 4-for-6 with two RBI, and junior Isabella Barrios-Gil went 5-for-6 with a three-run homer, driving in five runs for the day.

On May 25, the Green Dragons beat Hempstead 24-14 as Patricio struck out eight in five inningswhile driving in five runs with a double and a triple.

Anderson went 3-for-6 with four RBIs while Martinez and Juarez-Medina added three hits apiece.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

FROM THE DESK OF NASSAU COUNTY LEGISLATOR DELIA DERIGGI-WHITTON As the Minority Caucus representative on Nassau County Executive Laura Curran’s COVID-19 Economic Advisory Council, I am committed to determining the best uses of federal American Rescue Plan funding, and am laser-focused on ensuring that residents, businesses and organizations receive the support they need to regain what they lost during the pandemic and the boost they need to build back stronger.

This year, Nassau County is poised to receive nearly $200 million in American Rescue Plan Act. Of that amount, Curran has proposed $100 million in direct payments to Nassau County homeowners and a $25 million investment in grants, loans and other timely assistance for small businesses.

The county’s executive’s approach, which requires legislative approval, is based upon the feedback we

received through a survey conducted by the Nassau County Coronavirus Economic Advisory Council and Hofstra University.

Of the $25 million proposed for small business relief, Curran’s plan calls for dedicating approximately $10 million from those funds to launch the Boost Nassau Main Street Recovery Grant Program.

Consistent with the approach used for the county’s successful Restaurant Recovery Grant program, applicants with 10 or fewer employees will be eligible to receive up to $5,000 through the Main Street program, while those with 11 to 50 employees can apply for up to $10,000. Visit www.nas saucountyny.gov/boostnassau for more details.

Limited funds remain available for Restaurant Recovery Grants, which are open to full-service restaurants and banquet halls with catering staff, including those run by

charitable and religious organizations. Visit www.nassaucoun tyny.gov/restaurantrecovery for details and to apply.

In addition, the county plans to offer new stabilization loans to small businesses, including start-ups and minority- and women-owned business enterprises, which will enjoy longer payback periods and lower interest rates.

“Small businesses employ our neighbors, family and friends and are the heart of our vibrant downtown communities that need help,” Curran said in a recent interview. “We need to expand our efforts to support these businesses by providing direct assistance while also helping them take advantage of the programs available from federal and state sources as well.”

However, these funds are only as effective as our efforts to connect homeowners and small businesses with

them. Nassau County has launched a resource website at www.nassaucountyny.gov/ boostnassau and announced plans for a physical Boost Nassau Resource Center at Eisenhower Park to ensure residents and business owners will have every available resource—including rental assistance programs and support for nonprofits —at their fingertips. The Towns of Hempstead, North Hempstead and Oyster Bay will be offered office space to make it a comprehensive, user-friendly one-stop shop for residents, businesses and nonprofits.

And, as always, my legislative office staff is ready to assist. Please feel free to contact my office about this or any other topic at 516-5716211 or dderiggiwhitton@ nassaucountyny.gov.

Let MTA Federal Transit Administration Information Be Made Public When Governor Andrew Cuomo assumed office on January 1, 2011, he promised to run the most open and transparent administration in history. This was to have included all state agencies, along with dozens of independent authorities like the MTA. In 2013, Cuomo issued an executive order for all state agencies and authorities to publish their data online.

The State Legislature recently passed the “MTA Open Data Act.” Cuomo should sign this bill into law. The legislation directs the MTA to publish all statistical and factual information it maintains on the state’s online portal.

The Federal Transit Administration provides $1.5 billion in annual capital grants to the MTA. This is accomplished under the FTA Transit Award Management System (known as “TrAMS”), that is used to award and manage federal grants. The MTA currently manages an active

The FTA has its own independent engineering consultant firms to supplement in-house staff for oversight.

These companies provide both oversight and technical assistance for capital projects. The FTA usually assigns their own engineering consultant firms to those projects over $100 million or more. Engineering firms monitor the progress of these major capital projects and prepare monthly progress reports. These monthly reports are made available to MTA Chairperson Pat Foye, MTA HQ staff, MTA board members, MTA agency presidents, each MTA operating agency chief engineer, FTA HQ and regional office senior management teams and in-house project oversight staff.

Love It Or Leave It Traci Clinton shares advice for loving the home you are in or preparing it for its best sale

BY CHRISTY HINKO

chinko@antonmediagroup.com

The COVID-19 pandemic has given many homeowners the opportunity and push that they needed to realize that they do not want to delay loving where they live. Whether that means embracing the home they are in and making it even better or selling that home and moving into the home that better fits their needs and dreams, there is a lot of activity in the real estate market these days.

T

raci Clinton, a licensed realtor with Compass, told Anton Media Group recently that she is seeing a lot of movement, both by motivated sellers as well as those homeowners

who might be on the fence, those who, if they just loved their home and its amenities more, would assuage their urge to sell.

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT from page 3A “There are people in the market reevaluating their homes,” Clinton said. “Some are perhaps seeing in the market something that checks off the boxes in what they are searching for, while others are deciding to stay and do the work of a renovation.”

She said, some homeowners have seen [the pandemic] as an opportunity to start something new elsewhere. Where buyers are going is as varied as the reasons for moving.

“It could be in the same area they are in or perhaps for example sell on the North shore and buy something in the Hamptons that they could enjoy year round,” said Clinton. “The move from the city that some couples thought would happen three to five years from now to the suburbs just happened sooner as they now want a yard and more space.”

She said, other people are keeping their existing homes and having spent so much time in them over the last year decided to undertake a renovation which is a little more challenging than it was a year ago as building costs have increased.

“Some of the municipalities have increased processing times for getting permits,” Clinton said.

“And some appliances, for example, are on backorder with waiting times much longer than usual.”

These things should weigh heavily when making a decision whether home renovation is the right decision in the current marketplace.

“Our homes, over the last year have become our offices, gyms, restaurants and theatres,” Clinton said. “Our outdoor spaces became our sanctuaries, so just a thought as homeowners are now rethinking spaces and designing to meet their new needs in their homes.”

Staying in the same home and modifying it to fit your lifestyle is not always easy or the best solution, especially with the real estate market heavily favoring the seller. It is not an easy decision whether to make a home fit your needs or move to a new home that would instantly do that for you.

“This ties into people moving to accommodate the new spaces they need or those keeping their existing homes while hiring an architect and designer to reconfigure the space or add on,” Clinton said.

Work-from-home amenities have become increasingly important.

Our workspaces need to be functional and efficient.”

Either way, the advice of a local realtor can help point you to the real estate decision that is presently best for you.

Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa)

Back To Our Roots: Gardening With Native Plants

BY KAREN MUSGRAVE

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Imagine for a moment what Long Island would have looked like many generations ago. Our gorgeous island was likely covered in a large, diverse selection of naturally occurring trees, shrubs, flowers and prairie grasses. None of these plants would have had an expert on hand to fertilize or water them; they had to acclimate themselves to the climate and survive. These are known as native plants.

A

native plant is defined as one that is naturally found in a particular area.

Adaptable to local precipitation and soil conditions, they suffer from very few insect and disease issues, especially when compared to non-native plants. They require less upkeep and water, often living for many years. Planting natives in your garden will help to conserve water, clean the air and protect soils.

In addition to helping the environment, native plants provide interest in the garden all year long. Ornamental grasses add movement and sound. Flowering perennials produce bright, gorgeous color and trees and shrubs offer shade to your home the hot summer months and windbreaks during cold, windy winters.

Insects, bees and wildlife are drawn to native plants for food and shelter. Planting a large selection will promote the diversity that living things need in order to thrive in

Three Ways To Put A New Twist On An Old Home

BY KATE PEARCE

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Keep Historic Charm with Modern Materials

With so many gorgeous older homes in the Northeast, it’s important to find innovative ways to preserve a building’s historic roots while also making it a comfortable space for today. A major challenge in any renovation can be figuring out which areas of the home to update vs. preserve. As the owner of a 1910 house, I’m able to maintain its historic charm while also incorporating modern materials. If your home’s exterior is a little run down and you’re searching for ways to boost curb appeal: Keep the original configuration of windows and dormers to maintain the timeless appeal but try upgrading the siding and trim for a refreshed look. For example, I’m working with James Hardie on a complete exterior transformation. While I’m keeping the classic board and batten siding on our garage, I’m upgrading the main home’s exterior with Hardie plank, trim and panel products. I’ve been super impressed by the endless design options, including variety of colors.

Incorporate Bursts of Color

In the early 20th century, the paint color palette was not nearly as vast as the options we have now and generally centered around deep earth tones like clay, sage and off-whites. I like to incorporate pops of color in our home, particularly with neutral interior walls, to give it a fun, modern twist. I take weekly trips to the thrift store or estate sales and rotate the items on display, and with black-and-white walls, the neutral colors never fight with the design pieces. Bringing this same methodology to the exterior of our home, I chose the beautiful Arctic White ColorPlus Technology finish for the Hardie siding and used flowers to brighten up the look. The landscapes of Long Island are constantly changing throughout the year, from the evergreens and white snowfalls of winter to the pink peonies of spring and red poppies of summer. The flowers and trees of our yard play the same role as the art and decor hosted on the interior. And unlike our original cedar plank exterior that’s more work to maintain, I know that our fiber cement siding will provide lasting beauty for decades to come.

Durability is Key

Older houses with older electrical wiring are more vulnerable to fires, so when you’re remodeling your home it’s crucial to pick materials that are more fire resistant and can offer better protection in case of an emergency. After local friends of ours lost their incredible mid-19th-century home to a fire last year, we have been especially concerned about the fire risks that come with an older home. We knew that our old cedar siding was incredibly flammable and have found peace of mind in knowing our fiber cement siding is non-combustible. Another perk of the durability of fiber cement products is that we will no longer be woken up at the crack of dawn by our neighborhood woodpecker.

Keeping the garage neat and clean also reduces safety hazards.

Tips For Organizing Your Garage

BY ALICE Z. MARKINSON

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

“I’m going to keep tons of miscellaneous stuff all over my garage so it’s cluttered and disorganized,” said no person, ever. Remember when you were a new homeowner and had every intention of parking your car(s) in the garage?

S

omehow, though, your garage filled up with ‘stuff’ over time and became a dumping ground that now looks and feels like an obstacle course. If the thought of venturing into your garage fills you with dread, fear not.

The warm weather is (finally) here, and it is the perfect time to organize your garage.

Whether you have a one or two-car garage, or maybe you do actually park your car in your garage, we could all use some garage organizing tips.

1

Choose a day/weekend when the weather is cooperative and you can devote the time and energy needed

Begin by taking everything out of the garage. Spread out all of your items on the driveway and lawn.

Have the supplies on hand that you will need. You will want large black bags for trash, blue bags for recycling and clear bags for donation. You will also want cleaning supplies.

2

Sort all items into categories Sort everything into four categories: keep; donate; sell; trash. Be honest with yourself.

Do you need to hold onto the soccer cleats your daughter wore a decade ago? Toys and other items that are broken or your children have outgrown should be tossed

12A | DESIGN & DÉCOR • JUNE 16 - 22, 2021

or donated. If you have a hard time letting go of something that has sentimental value to you, take a picture of it with your cell phone. Schedule a donation pickup as soon as possible, and contact your town’s special pickup department to dispose of items that cannot be put in the trash.

3

Sort what you are keeping into categories Your “keep” pile should be sorted into categories: gardening and yard; sports and recreation; beach and lawn chairs; tools; auto supplies; luggage; holiday decorations, etc. Assess your empty garage to determine the best location for storage of an item. For example, bicycles should be kept near the entrance during warm weather months for easy access.

4

Make use of walls and vertical space to maximize storage Pay attention to the ‘prime real estate’ areas within your garage.

Install shelving, accessory hooks, pegboards, etc. to keep items off the floor. Clear, stackable weather-tight bins that are labeled with their contents work best.

5

Maintain your organized space Put items back in their designated places. Make garage organization a family project by periodically setting aside time to keep your garage organized.

The rewards of an organized, safe garage are well worth it.

Top Seven Remodeling Don’ts Homeowners devote their spending to home remodeling projects in 2021

BY TRESTON DUNN

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

H

ome renovations have skyrocketed over the past year, but some projects are more worthwhile than others. Local homeowners are wasting money on the wrong projects that won’t pay off in the end.

“Homeowners are redirecting their spending habits to make major changes to their homes, as opposed to spending money on their daily commute or on a family vacation,” said Window World Chairman and CEO Tammy Whitworth. “However, just because a project makes sense now doesn’t mean it will pay off down the road.”

Top Seven Remodeling Don’ts

Setting an unrealistic budget

1. Setting an unrealistic budget It pays to set aside extra money for your remodeling projects. Surprises pop up, and you don’t want to revisit projects later because of sub-par work now.

Plan on spending an extra 15 to 20 percent of the total project cost—just in case.

2. Being too trendy You may want what’s “new and now” in your home but think about resale value. What’s trendy today won’t necessarily be in style five years down the road. Consider classic designs and styles and get advice from a designer.

3. Only focusing on the inside Don’t forget about curb appeal. The outside of your home is the first thing buyers will notice. Spruce up your yard, power wash your house and replace your siding to boost your home’s curb appeal and resale value. Consider installing vinyl siding, which is energy efficient, deters termites and resists cracking and surface scratches.

4. Forgetting about the garage According to Remodeling’s Cost vs. Value report, replacing your garage door is one of the best home repair projects when it comes to resale value, with an average of 95 percent of the cost recouped. When it comes to color, white is the most popular and will offer the best resale.

Don’t forget the garage

5. Skimping on problems you can’t see Now is the time to fix air leaks, update insulation and check structural issues.

According to Energy Star, sealing air leaks and adding insulation can provide up to a 10 percent savings on your energy bills. Projects that cut energy costs help your wallet and low energy bills are also attractive to homebuyers.

6. Waiving window quality Energy-efficient windows regulate the temperature inside your home all year long, lowering utility bills. Install new replacement windows to increase your home’s resale value. A local home repair expert can come to your home for a free assessment to help determine the best options.

7. DIY all the time While you may want to tackle a DIY project, many remodeling projects should be left to the professionals. Safety and structural issues often come up when homeowners try to tackle in-depth projects themselves. Interview several contractors, reach out to their former clients and get advice from friends.

Never settle on a contractor based solely on cost; get a feel for their work.

North Shore Hebrew Academy “Chooses Life” Amid Momentous Hatzalah Dedication It is no coincidence that the Jewish people refer to themselves as Am Yisrael (“the people of Israel”) rather than “the religion of Israel.” It is apparent that a sense of nationhood has been rooted in the Jewish people.

Accordingly, the focal point of Jewish history is the Exodus from Egypt, the North Shore Hebrew only story that demands an official Academy annual retelling. Though enveloped in instances of G-d’s divinity, the Jewish Exodus is not a story of religious celebrated the inauguration of a new awakening, but that of Jewish national Hatzolah ambulance, which was liberation. fundraised and dedicated Every day, a sense of by our North Shore nationhood is demonstudents, faculty, strated through Whoever destroys a soul, parents and friends. an emphasis on it is considered as if he It is an honor for our community. our school to play destroyed an entire world.

new state-of-the-art Hatzolah ambulance for the Great Neck and Queens communities. Students were given 18 days to collect donations for the ambulance, with the top contributors including Barak Levy, Liat and Ben Gigi, Joseph Mayer, Ella Ashourzadeh, David Aghalarian, Ben Zuckerman, Jeremy Gorjian, Liam Shaer, Eitan Kohanim and Noah Baruch.

Students and teachers finally celebrated their efforts in helping the members of their community. Students heard from headmaster Dr. Daniel Vitow, Dr. Robert and Mrs. Minoo Ohebshalom and Rabbi Barak Levy. To conclude the dedication, the Hatzolah ambulance officially debuted its release with a jovial ribbon-cutting ceremony held by the North Shore families who marshaled the Chai for Chai campaign.

In his opening remarks, Rabbi Levy had referenced a passage introduced in Sanhedrin 17b: “A talmid haham (Torah scholar) is not allowed to live in a city that does not have these 10 things: a beit din (law court) that metes out punishments; a tzedakah fund that is collected by two people and

distributed by three; a synagogue; a bathhouse (mikveh); a bathroom; a doctor; a craftsperson; a blood-letter; and a teacher of children.” Believed to be the largest volunteer ambulance service in the world, the Hatzolah Organization is comprised of more than 1,000 volunteer EMTs and paramedics who answer more than 70,000 calls each year. Hatzolah volunteers are our true heroes for life. Thank you to all those who made this extraordinary feat possible!

I would like to wish everyone a wonderful and safe summer. It has been a pleasure bringing you the happenings at North Shore Hebrew Academy High School this year.

Things We Take For Granted To say that the 2020 was a year of frustration is an understatement. Being confined to your house for most hours of the day created tensions of every type. Of the many irritants that I can think of, one of the worst was getting access to the Internet. While many of us in the big cities or suburbs were able to get some service, millions of Americans have little or no service.

The COVID-19 pandemic presented many challenges to people who need the Internet to carry out normal daily activities. Millions of people worked from home. Students need access to follow up on lesson plans. Retirees need family connections. People with serious health problems, unable to go to a doctor’s office or unwilling to go to an emergency room, needed an

Internet connection for a doctor visit.

There is no doubt that many people in the New York downstate region were able to get Internet service, but there are countless numbers of local people who cannot afford service or who live in areas where the service is spotty. It is estimated that 24 million people have

only minimum access to the Internet.

An astounding 16 million people, who live in rural areas, have no service at all.

Based on census figures, 18 per cent of children in public or private schools did not have an Internet connection.

Twenty-two per cent of people over the age of 65 had no access to a high-speed connection.

For more than two decades, there has been a battle in Congress on how to get high-speed connectivity to all Americans. Legislation has been passed to give funds to local telephone companies, but the moneys are not invested in modernizing the systems to provide additional access. Moneys have been set aside to help poor people who can’t pay for any service, but somehow it never is spent to expand access.

One Westchester community has a pending cable contract that would help indigent families get a lower cable rate and access to the Internet, but internal political bickering has delayed action for more than four years.

There is one flicker of hope on the political horizon. President Biden has proposed to spend $388 billion on Internet access as part of his infrastructure plan. Republicans claim that access to broadband is not “infrastructure.” Hopefully, some plan is approved by late August, as the need for these services is critical.

Duncan Whiteside

Leading Advocate for Developmental Disabilities, Dies at 85 Duncan Whiteside died of natural causes on June 10 after a long battle with Parkinson’s. Mr. Whiteside was a longtime resident of Port Washington, serving as past President of the Port Washington Community Chest. He also served as the Treasurer of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock, and as chair of the Congregation’s Veatch Program.

Born in Boston, Mr. Whiteside attended St. Paul’s School, graduated from Harvard and received an MBA from New York University. He studied Russian in the army, and in 1959, was one of just 75 Americans chosen by President Eisenhower to represent the United States at the American National Exhibition in Moscow. Mr. Whiteside joined Chase Manhattan Bank as an international lending officer based in Frankfurt, but left the bank in the 1970’s and spent the rest of his career in the nonprofit sector, at Mobilization for Youth, the Council on Adoptable Children, and as the Director of One to One, created by Geraldo Rivera in the wake of the expose of Willowbrook State School. Mr. Whiteside cofounded the Maidstone Foundation

in 1983, which helped people with rare or multiple disabilities to obtain the help and services they needed. He served on many nonprofit boards, usually being drafted as Treasurer. Mr. Whiteside used his Russian language skills at Maidstone, providing direct services to Russian immigrants with disabled family members.

Deliberately keeping Maidstone small, Mr. Whiteside could be found at events for the families Maidstone served, rowing disabled children around a lake while singing Russian folk songs. He served as Vice Chair of the Governor’s Planning Council for Developmental Disabilities for many years and Board chair of the Epilepsy Foundation of New York City. He loved sailing, traveling the world, nature, his pets, and being a father. He will be remembered for his kindness, curiosity, sense of humor, adventure and fun, and his commitment to social justice. He leaves his wife, Mariette Bates, and his children Nicholas Whiteside, Michael Whiteside, and Sylvia Whiteside Morgan, and four grandchildren.

Not one to sit quietly by, she dove enthusiastically into a wide range of organizations with her energy and talent, including Meeting Street School, Rocky Hill School, the Girl Scouts, Canterbury School and the Cornell Club of Rhode Island. More recently, she built a house in Warwick Neck near to the Warwick Neck Country Club. She was often seen buzzing around in her golf cart playing in the Twilight League (which she created), as well as the Eighteen Hole, and Nine Hole Leagues. She also joined the Garden Club, Book Club, Bridge Club, Knitting Club and Mahjong Club as well as serving on the Board of Governors and various committees.

Walter “Wally” Kane

Wally Kane died Monday, May 31, 2021 just shy of his 88th birthday at Teresian House Nursing Home in Albany after living with Alzheimer’s for eight years. He was the imp of Carmel Gardens East and was adored by his caretakers for his air kisses, hand holding and thank yous all around.

Wally Kane was a big personality in a compact body. He was the pied piper of Reid Avenue, the spontaneous host for infamous parties, the fisherman who didn’t catch fish, and the funniest guy who never got the punch line out because he was laughing too hard to get there. He was a prolific studio musician in NYC and made all the music for Sesame Street for 40 years.

He was a great Dad, a loyal and loving family man, a friend to young people and a most generous and enthusiastic home maker, craftsman, collector, cook, adventurer and boatsman. He was our hero.

On Reid Avenue in Port Washington, NY with his wife, Mary, Wally created a warm and inviting home and with a lively circle of families affectionately called the Reid Avenue Irregulars, produced beloved traditions, hatched crazy adventures and nurtured deep and abiding love for neighbors.

As “Captain Outrageous” he fished, clammed and innately navigated the creeks and inlets of Peconic Bay with his family, friends and musician cronies by day and served a killer Beefeater martini with oysters from his stash hanging off his dock in the evening. As “safety man” he sent us out into the wild world with the prayer, “watch out for the a…holes”.

Wally was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Ridgewood, Queens where he played the fife at six because he got to wear the cool uniform, the hat with the tall feather panache and spats. Twice he received NY Times concert reviews that said he played with “panache”, which he thought explained everything.

Wally was a woodwind doubler and played all the clarinets, flutes, saxophones, bassoons, and recorders. At 19 he toured the US with the Sauter-Finnegan Orchestra, and band leaders Eddie Sauter

and Bill Finnegan would remain his beloved mentors the rest of his life. “I just love those men” he often exclaimed.

With Ballet USA and Westside Story, he and Mary toured the US and Europe. Wally played Broadway shows, Barbra Streisand television specials, the Kraft Music Hall, and was in the Tonight Show Band with his best friend Don Ashworth.

Together the two created epic lunacy and an enduring family bond that lives on in their children. He was the baritone player with the NY Saxophone Quartet which took him to Europe and the East.

The 1960s-80s were a boom time for music recording in NYC and Wally considered himself incredibly lucky to be one of the few go-to reed players for session dates with recording artists, and for television, films, and commercials.

He worked with Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand, Igor Stravinsky, Stan Getz, Liza Minnelli, Leonard Bernstein, Bill Evans, Eddie Daniels, Roberta Flack, Billy Joel, Tony Bennett, Grover Washington Jr., Joni Mitchell, Moondog, Hubert Laws, Paul McCandless, The Manhattan Transfer, Steely Dan, and so many others. He performed with the NY Philharmonic, NYC Ballet and at Carnegie Hall. And thanks to the lifelong membership efforts of the Musicians Union, Local 802, his pension and recording residuals supported his retirement.

But some of Wally’s most treasured and honored work was with the band that made the music for Sesame Street where he brought his “far out” humor and technical wizardry. He’s the recorder on Sing, flute on Don’t Want to Live on the Moon, and alto sax on Put Down the Duckie, among so many memorable tunes from the show. In his retirement he fly-fished the waters of Long Island’s East End and tied exquisite flies using Big Bird’s yellow feathers.

Wally is survived by his wife, Saint Mary, as he called her, of East Greenbush, NY, Elissa the oldest and her wife Lynne of Albany, NY, and David, his brilliant boy and his wife Adrienne of Port Washington, NY. Grandchildren Nora, Samuel and Sophia all play or sing with Wally’s beautiful sound.

The Kanes have great appreciation for Wally’s caretakers, especially during a year of COVID lockdown.

Wallypop loved and was loved by many to the end. So go out and pay for live music or if you are so inclined, make a donation in honor of Wally to the Musicians Local 802 Emergency Relief Fund, https://erf. local802afm.org/donate.

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.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). People don’t usually enjoy doing things they are bad at, and it is very rare to be good at something you are doing for the first time. This is why doing new things takes a mix of courage, openness and humility. You’ll concoct the recipe this week as you come across an endeavor that seems worthy of the effort.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re agreeable, empathetic and quick to forgive, so you assume others are the same. That’s not always true. You’ll interact with analytical and skeptical types who take a long time to notice the mental state of others, admit mistakes or apologize. Your patience will be a small but meaningful contribution to world peace.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). How much emotion should you use in decision-making? That depends on the decision. If it will affect what you’ll experience daily, then it’s only wise to push your feelings into it and get a sense of what you’re in for. But with “set it and forget it” decisions (especially financial), analyze and reason your way through.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even though you are concerned with the comfort of others and are known to go out of your way to help the people around you feel at ease, this will be best accomplished by enjoying yourself and even putting yourself first. As you extract what joy and interest you can get from the moment, you set a tone all can relax to.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People come in a host of personalities. Find out what flavor a person is, and you will have a sense of what would pair nicely, complement or clash. Success move: spend more time observing, listening and trying to understand than you do trying to impress or persuade. One right move is better than 20 wrong ones.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As for the quest for an ideal body, mind or economic standing, these struggles are unending by design. With entities that change by the moment, an ideal can never be reached. The struggle updates itself no matter how close you come to it. Happiness is: working toward small, well-defined, achievable goals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A small perspective shift will mightily impact your destiny. Just as a slight alteration of an eyeglass prescription can change how a person operates in the world, a new vantage will lend results incommensurate with efforts required. A fresh plan and trajectory will land you somewhere entirely different.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Striving for happiness diminishes it. Even looking at happiness diminishes it. When pursued, happiness, like a butterfly, flits off. The best you can do is to cultivate a garden that ingratiates the winged beauties. Stop the chase. Fall in love with the work of creating environments for happiness to land in and stay a while.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People like you. It’s not just because you help them reach their goals, though that certainly contributes to their affinity for you this week. It’s not hard for you to give yourself over to helping others handle their top priorities, especially once you realize that this almost always results in you achieving yours, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Simple social skills give you the world. For instance, if you find out what others are thinking and inquire about their experiences before sharing your own, you’ll have every advantage. This includes the advantage of having more information, the perk of standing out from an incurious crowd and the boon of being liked.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

The reason people know how to celebrate you is that you know yourself so well that you’re able to guide them in the direction that will delight you. The education of you has been a process of courage, of trying new things and challenging the old ways.

You’ll be rewarded for your bravery to the tune of experiences you wished for but never thought you’d actually have. Sharing and bonding fortifies you. There’s an intense push for a financial leg up, and you’ll have the success you work for.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Being fascinated with others can create problems if this powerful energy is focused in a dangerous way. Compare, envy, aspire and desire at your own risk. These actions whip up trouble from thin air. Replace them with appreciation, enjoyment, gratitude and the cultivation of new pleasure and life gets suddenly wonderful.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll get faster at decoding people. Someone will pique your curiosity this week, and the casual questions you come up with can also be applied in future interactions as you enter this highly social cycle. Understanding the motivations of others is not only an interest of yours but also a kind of superpower.

Garden City Baseball Clinches Playoff Spot

BY JOE GREEN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

ith an 8-4 record, varsity baseball has clinched at least a wildcard berth in the Nassau County Conference II playoffs.

The top six teams in Nassau Conference II make the playoffs. The four wild card teams played each other June 10 and the two wild card winners advanced to the best of three semi-finals starting June 12.

The two winners advanced to the championships June 16-18. While MacArthur, East Meadow and Mepham have one great pitcher each, Garden City has many. Seniors committed to play NCAA baseball.

They include Frank Santeramo (SUNY Maritime), Matthew Mohen (American International), Joe Frandina (Gettysburg) and Chris Blum (Saint Olaf’s); Santeramo and Mohen were ranked in the preseason top 50 players by Nassau Baseball. In addition, the pitching corps includes southpaws Pat Heber, Frandina, Simon Ferris and right-handed pitchers Gabe Beschloss, co-captain Aidan Magnotta, and Liam Rooney; their combined ERA is 2.17.

The season opener versus New Hyde Park disappointed; the Gladiators started St. John’s commit Luke Orban throwing fastballs in the high 80s, who held the Trojans to just two runs. Garden City turned around quickly in the second game as Frandina took the mound surrendering only one run; the Trojans scored five times, with the remarkable emergence of freshman shortstop Jack

Junior Pat Heber pitched very effectively against East Meadow and New Hyde Park.

Fanning (.351), who had his first multi-hit game.

In the Trojans third game versus New Hyde Park, Heber threw a three hitter, although the Gladiator’s Orban stirred up excitement with a 400-foot home run. Trojans catcher Joe Infante (.447) showed his own power with his first home run, and Magnotta contributed 2 RBIs; Mohen recorded his first save.

Pitching has been complemented by improved batting averages as the season has progressed including Joe Wood (.316), Charles Iovino (.333), Francesco Ingrassia (.269) and Heber (.286). The lack

of preseason scrimmages had a negative impact on the defense.

On May 13, Heber made a magnificent start against East Meadow, striking out nine batters and hitting a home run, as Ingrassia drove in two runs and scored one and Mohen earned his second save. On May 24, Santeramo turned in the Trojans first complete game start, defeating MacArthur 5-1, with Fanning continuing to make all the plays at shortstop, getting three hits and driving in one run while scoring two. The Trojans then pounded Long Beach in two consecutive games: Varsity faced off at home against Long Beach, with an impressive start by Aidan Magnotta, followed by another impressive start by Heber and scoreless relief efforts by Beschloss and Ferris.

The varsity had climbed into second place by Memorial Day, setting up a showdown with first place and the undefeated Calhoun Colts; Santeramo took the ball against a voracious offense and threw a three-hitter, walking nobody, leading the Trojans to a 3-0 holiday victory; he threw 59 strikes in just 84 pitches. Calhoun was stunned, but came out with guns blazing the next day and demolished Garden City. The two teams might see each other in the playoffs. The remaining games are against Great Neck South and Mepham, the latter who will likely throw Bucknell commit Tyler O’Neill against the Trojans.

Article statistics are compiled from actual game box scores through June 1.
