TOP STORY

Singas Takes Judicial Flight, Names Successor

BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

D

espite opposition by Republicans and progressive Democrats, Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas was comfortably confirmed to the state’s highest court on June 8. Governor Andrew Cuomo had nominated the veteran prosecutor as an associate justice to the Court of Appeals on May 25 to replace a fellow Democrat, Leslie Stein, who reached retirement age.

Confirmed with Singas was former New York City administrative judge Anthony Cannataro. He replaced the late Judge Paul Feinman, who died earlier this year. Justices serve 14-year terms on the seven-member court.

The Republican opposition centered on the ongoing investigation of Governor Cuomo by the Assembly Judiciary Committee led by Charles Lavine (D–Glen Cove). Should the committee recommend impeachment, Republicans charge, the Court of Appeals will have to sit in judgment and Cuomo’s nominess will have a conflict of interest. Five Democratic senators, in a letter to the Judiciary Committee which conducted a 90-minute hearing on Singas’ nomination, wrote: “For far too long, the New York State Court of Appeals has been dominated by former prosecutors, with little representation from public defenders and civil rights lawyers. As Senators committed to dismantling systemic racism within our criminal justice system, we believe District Attorney Singas’ past support for maintaining draconian criminal justice policies renders her unfit to serve in our highest court. We plan to vote against her nomination, and we urge our colleagues to do the same.”

During the hearing, Singas said she was her own person and that “my prosecutor’s hat comes off and stays off” as soon as she is confirmed.

State and Nassau County Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs, asked if he had any input into Singas’ nomination, replied, “I am always making recommendations, but I’m sure the governor made his own decision based on his own views on what would be good for the Court of Appeals.”

He added, “Was I asked for my thoughts when [Singas] was under

Smith spent four years as a staff attorney in the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights’ Office of the General Counsel, three years as executive director for the Bronx Family Justice Center in New York City, as well as the assistant commissioner/deputy chief of staff for the Mayor’s Office to Combat Domestic Justices of the New York State Court of Appeals her a case back in Violence.

Local Resident Runs For County’s State Legislature McCarty’s campaign focuses on affordable living, safe neighborhoods and schools, and more

BY JEANNIE MCDONALD editorial@antonmediagroup.com

M

eet Meagan McCarty; advocate, mom, wife, Port Washington resident, and now, a candidate for Nassau County’s District 11 State Legislature. Recently, McCarty announced her plans to run for this position, which incorporates Sands Point, Baxter Estates, Manorhaven, Manhasset Isle, North Port Washington, Port Washington, Flower Hill, Roslyn, Roslyn Harbor, Glenwood, Glenwood Landing, Seacliff, and Glen Cove. McCarty is running against incumbent Legislator, Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D-Glen Cove), who has held the seat for seven terms. McCarty believes it’s time for a new seatholder with fresh ideas.

Originally from New Jersey, McCarty moved to Long Island after meeting her husband—then police officer, now sergeant, Brian McCarty.

Together, they have two children, who both attend public school. Previously, she’s worked on campaigns for former North Hempstead Councilmember Dina De Giorgio and former state Senator Elaine Phillips.

“I keep pinching myself that I’m running with Elaine Phillips,” McCarty said, citing both Phillips and De Giorgio as not only mentors, but political inspirations of hers. “No education could have provided me with what they have taught me.”

McCarty has been drawn to local politics for quite some time, working on campaigns since she was a child.

“I’ve always had an interest in how the government works,” she said. “I just love helping people.”

After seeing how involved she was in the community, former Councilwoman De Giorgio asked McCarty to work as her legislative aide. “It’s so rewarding to see it materialize,” McCarty said, in regard to providing solutions for local issues.

Getting to work with former state Senator Phillips as a constituent service legislative aide was a similar position, but on a greater scale.

She property taxes in Nassau County. “I emphasized the importance of being think we need to evaluate what went able to live comfortably and develop wrong and make sure that we come roots on Long Island. If elected, she up with a plan, so going forward, we plans on sticking to her values.

“Had I been there, I would’ve been able to fight against that increase,” she said.

McCarty’s slogan, “For the people” really means for the people. As a mother and resident, she understands the issues that the community is facing firsthand. Her vision for District 11 is making it an affordable place with generations of families living together happily, being active within the community. McCarty places importance on art, culture, the environment and the community, and wants every resident on Long Island to be able to live happily and comfortably, whether that’s enjoying the North Shore beaches, eating at the amazing restaurants, or shopping in local stores. She wants to guarantee that, “every small business owner is able to live out the American dream here on Long Island.”

Although she’s previously worked on campaigns, this is McCarty’s first time running for public office.

“I’m really shy, and I really enjoyed working in the background with politicians,” she said of her past experience.

However, this next chapter in her political career is extremely important to her. She’s expressed gratitude for the level of support she’s had since announcing her running, not only from those in local government, but from her neighbors, friends, and her close-knit family.

“It helps when the issues are on your side and that you’re running for the right reasons,” she added. “When my little girl is telling everybody that her mom is running for office, and she thinks that one day she could do it too—I can’t back out now.”

In her free time, when she isn’t working or campaigning, McCarty likes to be involved in the community.

Whether that’s helping out the Girl Scouts, cleaning up the beach with her kids, playing on Port Washington’s ‘Momball’ Softball Team, or baking cakes for neighbors.

What A Knockout

New beauty business opens in Locust Valley

BY HANNAH MERWIN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

A

s the pandemic comes closer to the end and more businesses are opening up, people are excited to get back out into the world and enjoy their lives again. With the help of owner Christin Rueger and the rest of the team at Knockout Beauty in Locust Valley, customers can enjoy “me time” by getting a facial, talking with experts about skincare and spending time with other people in their community.

Knockout Beauty was founded in Bridgehampton

by Cayli Cavaco Reck, who has since opened up locations in Manhattan’s Upper East Side and Brentwood, CA. Knockout Beauty is a boutique retail space and bespoke skincare consultancy, according to their website.

Christin Rueger, owner of the new Locust Valley location, has been friends with Cayli for

“There’s a sense of community in the store,” Rueger said. “It’s in the plaza and it looks like a little cottage. The small town factor of Locust valley is so charming, and the environment of the cottage is so helpful to create a peaceful space. We offer facials, which are given in a different room from the rest of the store, so even though the building is

small, customers can have a moment of peace and quiet.”

Reck is the daughter of two Vogue editors, so from a young age she was introduced to the world of editorials and fashion. Her interest in cosmetology, however, comes from her own passion for skin and beauty. She has spent years doing research about dermatology, physiology, formulas for different products and how hormones

affect complexion. Her drive for the subject is what created Knockout Beauty.

“The pandemic made people restless,” Rueger said.

“When the space opened up in Locust Valley, Cayli and I were excited to help people with skincare. We’re not dermatologists, but we can definitely prescribe the right skincare and educate the consumers.”

Rueger emphasized the importance of a personalized regimen and how the team at Knockout Beauty helps everyone who comes through the door find the regimen that is right for them.

Rueger, while not a true expert on the subject, has been eager to learn more about skincare since she had kids and her skin was constantly changing. She is a self-proclaimed client and enthusiast on the subject.

“The goal wasn’t to be a store owner,” she said. “Now I can authentically speak

about my experience with the products because of what I’ve been through. After kids, a regimen has really helped me and my skin has been more consistent than ever.”

Reck is excited to open this location up to the public, and notes that while it may look different from the outside, it provides the same products as other locations that customers are used to.

“Everything we carry is exactly the same,” she said. “It’s in a different space, but all of the services and products are all the same. So many people I’ve talked to haven’t been in yet, and I’m excited to help them understand and change their skin.”

Knockout Beauty is located on 1st Street in The Plaza in Locust Valley, and is open every day except Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Wantagh Passes Revamped School Budget Plurality of voters approve new $83.5 million amount

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

B

ack on Tuesday, May 18, Wantagh wound up being one of four Long Island districts (the others being Three Village, Northport-East Northport and East Hampton) whose voters refused to pass their respective budgets. For the Tuesday, June 15 re-vote that was held at Forest Lake, Mandalay and Wantagh Elementary Schools, approximately 2,950 residents or 70 percent of total voters pulled the yes lever in the voting booth for the $82.7 million 2021-22 spending plan, which was beyond the 60 percent number needed for a budget override of the state tax cap. Those in opposition numbered 1,213 residents, or 30 percent of the electorate. Shortly after results were counted up, the Wantagh Board of Education unanimously approved the new proposal during a virtual session at around 9:30 p.m. that evening.

The board of education was forced to go back to the drawing board after the original proposed 2021-22 school budget of $83.5 million was met with voter backlash given that it

represented a $2.3 million increase from the previous year. For that budget, 1,202 votes were cast in favor of it versus 1,165 against, necessitating a super-majority 60 percent threshold that was required due to the fact that the 2.8 tax levy increase pierced the 2 percent tax cap. When the May 18 proposed budget was defeated, the board of education reached out to the community for suggested remedies to ensure the budget would pass in the second goround. The second proposed budget was modified to include $1.1 million of reduced expenditures, resulting in a spending increase of only 1.88 percent and a tax uptick of 1.96 percent. The Allowable Maximum Tax Levy under the tax cap is currently $60,748,205. For 2021-22, the district’s tax cap is negative with a year-overyear change of negative .61 percent.

With the original proposed budget, the district had sliced costs by more than $1 million and included the

reduction of two full-time administrative positions, cutting 19 full-time employees, increasing elementary school class sizes by one student and combining seventh and eighth-grade athletic teams. That budget also brought a hike in health insurance premiums by an average of 3.4 percent. A significant factor in the passage of the second budget was Wantagh’s decision to cut 29 positions, both administrators and teachers, from its current staff.

Had the revised school budget failed to pass, the district would have been forced to move to a contingency budget that includes specific legal guidelines that must be followed.

Among those requirements is that the district must operate under the same tax levy as the previous year and can only support contingent expenses directly tied to the safe, legal day-today operation of the district and the regular instruction of its students.

Among these obligations are legal expenses (payroll taxes, Social Security, pre-existing contractual obligations, debt-service interest/principal), utilities (water, fuel, light, power, telephone), nursery school, health services and Child Nutrition programs. Among the myriad programs that would have been on the chopping block were the elementary schools’ third-grade orchestra program and all middle school athletics. For Wantagh superintendent John McNamara, the passage of the revamped 2021-22 school budget was cause for a belated sigh of relief.

“We’d like to thank the Wantagh community for its support of our schools—it’s been a challenging year,” he said.

he Nassau County District Attorney’s Office recently announced that an East Rockaway certified public accountant, employed as the chief financial officer and controller of a former Great Neckbased condiments company, has been charged with allegedly embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from the company and spending the funds on personal luxuries, including golf and a beach cabana.

Barry Rosner, 64, of East Rockaway, was arraigned before Judge Lisa Petrocelli on one count of grand larceny in the second degree (a C-felony), and eight counts of falsifying business records in the first degree (an E-felony). The maximum sentence on the top count is five to 15 years in prison. Rosner was released on his own recognizance and is due back in court on July 12.

According to the criminal complaint, Rosner was employed as the CFO and controller of Old Dutch Mustard/USA Vinegar, a former Great Neck-based condiments company now located in New Hampshire.

Rosner had worked closely with the company’s co-founder until his death in February 2015.

Months after the co-founder’s

death, Rosner allegedly began embezzling thousands of dollars from the company—amounts between $2,000 and $4,000—through wires into his personal bank account.

As the theft continued, Rosner allegedly stole larger amounts of money, approximately $10,000 or more each month in 2018. The investigation showed Rosner spent the embezzled funds on golf, a beach cabana, clothing, dining and credit card bills.

The theft was ultimately uncovered when Old Dutch Mustard/USA Vinegar hired outside accountants in 2019 and confronted Rosner, who was later terminated. The company referred the alleged conduct to NCDA. The case is being prosecuted by Senior Investigative Counsel Richard Sikes of the DA’s Financial Crimes Bureau. The defendant is represented

by Steven J. Harfenist, Esq. If you believe you were the victim of a fraud perpetrated by Barry Rosner, contact the Nassau County DA’s Office Financial Crimes Bureau at 516-571-2149.

The charges are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless found guilty.

MTAC announces new prevention campaign

assapequa Takes Action Coalition (MTAC) announces a new prevention campaign, Kids and Weed Don’t Roll Together, to educate parents, guardians and community residents to the dangers and consequences of youth marijuana use. Adolescence is a critical time for youth as the brain is still developing through the age of 25. Today’s marijuana has tripled its potency since the early 1990s (NIDA). The increase in potency presents a higher risk for

negative health effects which may lead to emergency room visits. MTAC’s new campaign, outlines unique and informative facts and education to help parents talk with their kids about how marijuana use affects their brain, health and safety. To learn more about the dangers of youth marijuana use, go to mtacoalition.com or like/follow Massapequa Takes Action Coalition on Facebook.

Chamber Installs New President

BY ANTHONY MURRAY

T

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

he Mineola Chamber of Commerce recently installed its newest president Louis Panacciulli. Some might know Panacciulli as the conductor and music director of The Nassau Pops Symphony Orchestra—a role that he has had since 1984.

“I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Pace University and my Master’s Degree from New York University,” Panacciulli said. “Although these degrees are in Music Education, I spent the first 25 years of my career in the corporate world. In 1985, I brought The Nassau Pops to Mineola’s Memorial Park where our concerts continue to draw thousands of audience members each summer. In December, Chaminade High School hosts Christmas with The Nassau Pops in their state of the art auditorium.

These concerts are always performed free of charge to the community.”

The Nassau Pops has performed benefit concerts for numerous charities including Long Island Special Olympics, One in Nine, Glen Cove Hospital, the Independence Fund for Wounded Warriors, and most recently Cerebral Palsy of Nassau County.

In 2016, Panacciulli was appointed conductor and music director of the Rockaway Five Towns Symphony Orchestra, which was founded in 1950 and is one of the oldest classical orchestras on Long Island. Panacciulli is also an adjunct professor of music at Nassau Community College and recently retired from his position as teacher of instrumental music in the Valley Stream School District 13. He resides with his family in Franklin Square.

According to Panacciulli, the Nassau Pops Symphony Orchestra joined the Mineola Chamber of Commerce in 1996.

“In 2015, I was invited to join the board of directors,” Panacciulli said.

“It has been the chambers’ custom for the incoming president to select his successor as vice-president. When

our most recent president Joel Harris took office, he asked me to join him as his vice-president. In recent years, the influence of the chamber has greatly increased due to the dedicated work of our former presidents.

Village Discusses Trees And Sidewalks D

uring a recent board meeting, trustees discussed village trees and sidewalks. Trustee John Delany stated that this has been an issue for many years and that some village-owned trees generate sidewalk repairs. The discussion included mention that (legally, by local law in the village code) adjacent homeowners are currently liable for repairs to sidewalks, even when village tree roots cause the damage. According to Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi, during a five-year period (2016-2020), the village averaged $531,000 per year in repairs—approximately $200,000 for aprons/ curbs and approximately $300,000 for sidewalk repairs.

Stanco explained the process of surveying the sidewalk flags. The village will continue its policy regarding sidewalk replacement and is reviewing sidewalk defects caused by village tree plantings, as well as the cost of such remedial repairs to homeowners.

Friday Night Promenade Schedule

Friday Night Promenades are back on Seventh Street this year. (Photo source: Facebook) The estimated village tree root influence is estimated to be around 50 percent, possibly up to 60 percent of that $300,000, based on

estimates of the paving program defined in each fiscal year, Suozzi further noted. Public Works Deputy Superintendent Domenick

New Cassel Seeks Second Renaissance

he spirit of community engagement was alive last month, when dozens of New Cassel residents weighed in with ideas for improving the hamlet.

Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth, Councilmember Viviana Russell and the New Cassel Steering Committee hosted a virtual community meeting to gather ideas to fulfill the requirements of a federal grant.

According to a press release, “The Town was awarded a United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Community-Wide Assessment Grant. The EPA’s Brownfields Program provides assistance to help assess, safely clean up and reuse contaminated properties. This enables properties to be revitalized and put back into use.

North Hempstead is reaching out to the community to get their input to help guide current and future work in the area.”

“We appreciate the EPA awarding us this grant. This project is a huge benefit to the community of New Cassel and the revitalization of the area,” said Bosworth in a statement. “Input from our community including residents and business owners alike will help us fulfill the community’s vision for enhancing properties while creating a more attractive, walkable, and livable New Cassel.”

Russell stated, “We hope that New Cassel will join us and provide us with their thoughts on what they hope to see for the community. Our goal is to take your feedback and incorporate it as we embark on the next steps of this project.”

A presentation slide gave the town’s goals for the grant:

This presentation slide shows the fruits of a previous public-private collaboration that transformed New Cassel. Community leaders hope to repeat this success.

ideas generated by the sessions: Create an early childhood center for ages 2-5 and more activities for teens to develop athleticism and generate scholarships.

Make properties along Prospect Avenue the priority, with residential workforce housing emphasized, a business development site for new business owners, a STEM instruction satellite site. Also an alternative athletic park with organized activities.

Give priority to those owned by the town’s Community Development Agency. Work on them first rather than properties that still need to be purchased.

Create “mini-parks” to add recreational areas.

Take on the homeless issue in Westbury, perhaps creating a place to provide help and get them back on their feet .

Increase the police presence by building a satellite precinct office.

A day care and urgent care centers.

Entrepreneurial opportunities.

Short term leasing for small business.

Emphasize owner residential, not rental residential housing.

In summing up Russell said, “One of the reasons why I believe we were elected for this grant is that we have a track record here in this community of moving projects forward through the Brownfield Opportunity Area Grants.”

She urged residents to visit www.northhempsteadny.gov/ NewCassel-2021 to view the presentation and take the survey. The survey will be available through July 2.

A Smashing Success Hicksville Hits Broadway

n a year filled with obstacles, it was a breath of fresh air for our wonderful art and music students to have an outlet to show how hard they have been working this year,” commented Chad Wyman, Hicksville’s Director of Fine and Performing Arts about the three-day student showcase held at Broadway Commons Mall on June 3-5. From the Hicksville High School (HHS) Jazz Ensemble, Winter Guard and String Ensemble to solo vocal and instrumental pieces, mall-goers were treated to performances by more than 130 music students and were able to view upwards of 200 pieces of K-12 artwork from the district’s nine buildings.

In an ongoing partnership with the mall, “Hicksville Hits Broadway” plans were begun months ago by the PTAs, under the leadership of PTA Council President Erin Guida, to provide the opportunity for the district’s fine arts students to have a concert and art exhibit experience when COVID-19 prevented the normal in-school schedule of these events that are so important to budding young musicians and artists.

“Hicksville Schools made a decision very early on to make sure the arts continued unabated in this year of COVID, and to have an event like this that featured our students, teachers and community was truly special,” Wyman said. “I cannot give enough praise to Mrs. Guida and The Hicksville Council of PTA’s for making this possible. Bravo to all involved.”

The extravaganza included raffles supported by the PTA units at all nine schools, plus the board of education, SEPTA, the Council of PTAs, Hicksville Alumni Association, Hicksville’s Congress of Teachers, Hicksville’s Athletic Booster Club and the Robotics Booster Club.

Informational tables during the event included HHS’s Class of 2022, the Hicksville Public Library, the Northwest Civic Association, HHS and HMS Robotics, the Robotics Booster Club, the National Art Honor Society students, the Hicksville Middle School Art Club students and the Booster Club.

“We, as a community, needed this uplifting moment, and what brings people together better than art and music...our kids.” Guida said. “It was wonderful to see our district students

On behalf of the Hicksville Council of PTAs, I would like to give a huge shout out to our Supervisor of Fine Arts, Chad Wyman, who created the enthusiasm that led the charge in our partnership. We look forward to our continued partnership that will bring more special events to our community while focusing on the accomplishments of our students.”

The Hicksville Council of PTAs would also like to express its gratitude to teachers Adam Nadler, Beth Garner, Brian Vollmer, Caroline Calleo, Craig Mateyunas, Danielle Donnelly, Jen LaCava, Jennifer Weiss, Jonathan Shmuel, Justin Starr, Kerri Barnett, Kristin Powell, Laurie Haddock, Margaret Corbett, Michelle Lesser, Michelle Shmuel, Naomi Marmol, Pam Del Gatto-Erario, Pat Tarsoly, Rachel Kreiger, Sam Pollenz and Stephanie Hart.

Additional appearances were made by the district’s principals and assistant principals—Dr. John Comer, Susan Guiliano, Patrick Harris, Dr. Barbara Mrozik, Laura McConnell, Janine Rossi and Phil Grusenmeyer. Special guest speakers from Administration included Superintendent Marianne Litzman and Assistant Superintendent Anthony Lubrano. And a big “Thank you” to Legislator Rose Walker, who graciously closed the event.

Needless to say, an event this large required the dedication and hard work of many, including our supportive parents. The district is thankful for each and every one who made “Hicksville Hits Broadway” a rousing, community-affirming success.

John Juliski Honored For 50 Years Of Service With Roslyn Highlands Fire Company Nassau County Legislator Arnold W. Drucker (D-Plainview) recently had the high honor of celebrating Roslyn Highlands Fire Company volunteer John A. “Earl” Juliski’s half-century of service to the community by presenting him with a Nassau County Citation during a dinner at the firehouse.

Affectionately known by many at the firehouse as “Earl,” Mr. Juliski, a retired Nassau County Police Department carpenter, joined the Roslyn Heights Fire Company on June 7, 1971. Department officials said that, in the years since, he has been a ‘top responder’ almost every year and was named Fireman of the Year in 1979 for his valiant efforts to save a pedestrian who had been hit by a car. While the victim unfortunately succumbed to their wounds, Mr. Juliski, who remains an active EMT to this day, earned plaudits for performing CPR

the entire time while the patient was rushed from the scene to North Shore Hospital.

Reaching the 50-year mark has become a laudable family tradition.

Mr. Juliski’s father, John Juliski, Sr. also achieved the same milestone, making them the first father-son tandem in the Fire Company’s history to achieve this honor.

“Through their dedication, people like John Juliski exemplify Long Island’s selfless and noble tradition of volunteer fire service and actively share the lessons of a lifetime with the next generation of members,” Legislator Drucker said. “It was truly an honor to join the Roslyn Heights Fire Company to celebrate a dedicated community volunteer and public servant.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR WE’RE AT A CROSSROADS, AND FERRETTI SHOULD LEAD NASSAU COUNTY If the pandemic has taught us anything, it should be that we as Long Islanders need to be more involved in local government. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran was articulate when she addressed residents’ concerns during New York’s coronavirus apex.

For weeks, many people tuned in to Curran’s COVID news conferences to see how Nassau County was battling the deadly virus. But she has fallen short of helping working class families when they need it the most.

Despite claiming to want to protect the welfare of Long Island families, Curran has proposed an over $9 million dollar property tax hike on Nassau County residents in the midst of a pandemic and

her unfair reassessment is crippling family budgets.

While many residents are still dealing with the financial effects of a statewide shutdown, Curran is strapping residents with unfair taxes they simply can’t pay. Just check your first half tax bills that came in recently, the first under her reassessment.

Nassau is at a crossroads, and deserves a leader that will fight for working class Nassau County families.

Someone who will fight to lower taxes, not veto tax cuts.

Someone who will work with our federal partners to rid the county of MS-13 and other violent gangs. Someone who will answer constituent calls, not leave residents in the dark. Someone who will stand up against Democrats’

dangerous bail reform, and stand with our men and women of law enforcement.

With the county executive race on the ballot this November, I know who my pick would be to run against Curran and get our county back on track.

Legislator John Ferretti has been an outspoken critic of Curran’s reassessment, and worked with members of the majority to introduce tax cuts that the county executive later vetoed. He has held town hall meetings throughout the district, taking what he has heard and turning it into legislative action. Whether it be introducing legislation to help exterminate rodents in the community, or working with parents to educate children on the dangers of

reckless bike riding and riding a bike without a helmet.

As county executive, Ferretti will continue to vote against increases in property taxes, reinstate funding to battle the rodent issue plaguing Nassau residents and always stand with our dedicated law enforcement community by advocating to get rid of the dangerous cashless bail laws that put both police officers and our community at risk.

Curran talks a big game, but her actions speak volumes. It is time for new leadership to represent us, someone who truly understands middle class values. Ferretti has brought surprising transparency back to the legislative process and would continue to do so as county executive.

Leaning against the door frame with a paper plate and a slice of pizza, he waived to me and said hello. I was standing behind the table with the wine and soda, acting as a bartender.

“What kind of beer ya got?” he asked with a slight smile on his face. Of course, being a fellow beer drinker, I laughed and put my palms up in the air.

“There ain’t no beer,” I told him, asking, “How can you have a Christmas party without beer?”

“You’re absolutely right,” he said with a big grin on his face.

“Wanna make a beer run with me?”

Curran Announces County With School Districts COVID-

assau County Executive Laura Curran recently announced a new initiative to assist Nassau County’s school districts with applying for FEMA and other grant funding to help with the many expenses from the pandemic. In order for the county to continue to maximize grant funds and protect taxpayers, the county will now be providing consulting services to school districts to help them navigate FEMA reimbursements, ESSER funding and additional grant assistance.

“COVID-19 had a devastating economic impact on countless businesses and industries in Nassau—especially our school districts who had to pick up the cost of adjusting to new protocols and mandates in order to keep students safe during the pandemic,” Curran said. “This has been a school year

like no other and our school districts constantly went above and beyond to make sure our students continued to receive a top-notch education despite the uncertain circumstances. Nassau will continue to work in assisting our school districts to receive compensation for the expenses they had to pay in order to safely get our children back in the classroom.”

School districts incurred unexpected expenses due to COVID-19, such as new HVAC filters, new barriers in classrooms and communal spaces and enhanced cleaning, among many other costs, put a burden on their budgets, which in turn can be passed onto the local taxpayer.

School districts have avenues for grants and reimbursements, but federal funding streams like FEMA or ESSER can be difficult to navigate

Managing Your Wealth Leading Into Retirement

T

BY CHRISTY HINKO

Chinko@antonmediagroup.com

here are only a few things better than finally arriving at your retirement, fully satisfied and confident about all the saving and planning that you did to make it all happen. Your journey to retirement has taken decades and now, it is finally here.

Unfortunately, arriving is simply not enough and financially, you may not be out of the woods yet. There are myriad risks to your strategy, even after you have made the decision to retire. We spoke with Philip G. Palumbo, CEO, founder and chief investment officer of Palumbo Wealth Management (1010 Northern Blvd. in Great Neck), to learn more about some of the key things you should consider about managing your wealth before reaching retirement.

“My team and I were recently thinking about what people are really concerned about as they think about retirement and what their next chapter in life looks like,” Palumbo said.

Some of the key questions that individuals and their families need to consider when building a retirement plan and managing wealth are:

1. Do you have confidence in your financial plan as you think about retirement?

“To build confidence you have to understand how much money you will be spending during retirement on an after-tax basis,” Palumbo said. “Our

ultimate goal is to help people achieve peace of mind.”

With more than 21 years in the business, Palumbo said the way you achieve peace of mind is to deliver a plan to people that they can understand and builds confidence that they can be financially secure throughout their retirement years.

“When people do it on their own the problem is, most of the times they will make one or two mistakes that will cost them their retirement,” he said.

and banking accounts.

“You get a paycheck; you spend it,” Palumbo said. “The leftovers are your savings.”

He added, “Assets like your primary home, vacation home, RV or additional vehicles should not be considered in your retirement plan unless you plan to sell these things off as income.”

2. How will inflation affect your spending?

“If you need $100,000 today for spending, five years from now, you’ll need $125,000. Ten years from now you’d probably need $170,000 because of inflation,” Palumbo said. “This is why you need your full $2.5 million, as an example, to be fully invested and to grow over time to support your lifestyle.”

4. What income streams will you have coming in?

Additional income sources such as Social Security, a pension, rental property income, consulting income or hobbies are all supplemental sources that provide residual or passive income.

“Say you need $100,000 after taxes per year to live on, but you may have $20,000 from social security, and another $20,000 from your pension, so now you really need $60,000 from your savings so you can live your same lifestyle,” Palumbo said.

3. Do you have enough money saved in retirement and non-retirement assets that will distribute an income in retirement years? Do you have enough savings to support and distribute this income so as to not disrupt your lifestyle?

Retirement assets include things like IRAs and a 401k, money that you invested pre-tax that grew tax-deferred.

When retirement assets are pulled out, they are then taxed. Non-retirement assets include things like brokerage

5. How much money do you have saved? Is that enough to support your lifestyle?

“You need to hone in on what you are spending per month,” Palumbo said. “Will you still spend the same way during your retirement years? Do you plan to stay in your home or go on the same exact types of vacations, drive the same car, etc.? If the answer is yes, then you expect that your expenses will be the same in retirement.”

He said if you’re thinking about moving down to Florida, Texas,

Tennessee, for example, where the cost-of-living is cheaper than staying in New York, then you have to factor that in. If you stay in New York, your expenses might be, for example $10,000 per month, but in a lower cost-of-living state, your expenses might go down to $7,000.

“It’s all about our lifestyles; we don’t want our lifestyles to be interrupted,” Palumbo said. “We all have certain things that we enjoy doing on a daily basis and throughout the year. We want to be able to just do that as long as we have our health and the only way to be able to do that is through the use of money. If you don’t have money or your money diminishes, then your lifestyle diminishes. Who wants that in the last chapter, in our golden years.”

Many of these factors pose a significant risk to your retirement. Financial professionals such as Palumbo and his team are able to help you create a reassuring plan that will reduce some of your exposure.

“Building confidence and having a coach helps guide you through those tough times; it’s imperative to successfully retire and not make the mistakes,” Palumbo added.

Retirement should be enjoyed, free from financial stresses and worry over unpleasant surprises.

pproaching retirement marks a significant chapter in someone’s life coming to an end and a journey into something brand new.

It is apropos to celebrate it with a thoughtful gift.

Oftentimes, retirees receive golf clubs, wine glasses, coffee mugs, gift cards, a fishing pole or lessons for bettering or learning a new skill. A great retirement gift is something that fits the person’s hobbies or pairs with how they would like to spend their newly found free time.

What do you give the person who most likely

has everything at this point in their life? Here are a couple of ideas to steer you in the right direction when selecting a gift.

Estate Planning: Where Do I Start?

Personal Approach

BY ANTHONY RUSSO

S

Specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

electing a law firm to work with when planning your estate is not an easy decision to make. An estate planning/elder care attorney will help you plan for today while always taking future possibilities into consideration. Planning your estate requires a “what if” approach.

An elder care attorney always considers possible contingencies when helping you to formulate a plan. That’s why selecting the right firm is so important. As time goes by and circumstances change, you need a trusted advisor to turn to and address your concerns.

Some factors to consider as you make this decision:

trusts and the various Medicaid planning options so you can make an educated and intelligent decision.

Focus on Elder Law

Long-Term Care Planning

Make sure the firm you are considering concentrates on elder care, estate planning and Medicaid planning. Ask the attorney to explain the differences between wills and

are considering not only plans for Medicaid, but can actually apply on your behalf.

Looking for a new attorney or professional to apply for Medicaid because the attorney you used previously cannot assist you is a stressful and frustrating position to be in.

Perhaps most important, you need to find an attorney you can communicate with. If you have questions about your planning or an unexpected situation arises, can you call the estate planning attorney? Will there be an extra fee to consult with you after you are already a client? Will you be able to speak with the specific attorney you worked with?

Discussing your estate planning can be an overwhelming and uncomfortable topic for many.

This is why so many people fail to take advantage of planning options available to protect assets and provide for loved ones. Finding an attorney who can make the process understandable and stressfree is the first step towards creating a plan that best suits you and your family.

Financial Myths And Misconceptions

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

M

Specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

any people look forward to retirement and all the enjoyment it can bring after having worked so hard for decades. But from a distance, whether it’s a few years or many years away, it’s not easy to clearly see what retirement will look like.

It’s a bit misty because, after all, there is a lot of uncertainty about the future, and how much money someone will need to have on hand during retirement is subject to numerous variables. But in the process of looking ahead some people miscalculate, in part because they are not fully informed, says Dariusz Godlewski (financialwealthalliance. com), a licensed investment advisor representative and the president of Financial Wealth Alliance.

“Some of the things people assume to be true about money matters in retirement actually are not, and some financial points they think they grasp instead require a deeper dive,” Godlewski said. “Misconceptions and

myths can develop, and those can be harmful to one’s retirement and their enjoyment of it.”

Godlewski points to three key areas where myths and misconceptions can cost you in retirement:

Taxes Godlewski said that one of the biggest misconceptions people have is that they will pay less in taxes in retirement, but for many, that’s not true.

“For one thing, they won’t have many deductions anymore,” he said.

“If they were itemizing, a lot of those deductions go away. Most of the money Americans have is in tax-deferred accounts such as IRAs and 401(k)s, and they’re going to pay taxes on those distributions. Therefore, they need to strategize to lower their tax bill in future.”

One strategy, Godlewski said, is doing partial Roth conversions on their IRAs and 401(k)s.

“Roth IRAs offer tax-free growth on both the contributions and the earnings that accrue over the years, and

About Retirement the other big benefit in retirement is you won’t pay taxes when you take the money out,” he said. “When current tax rates are relatively low, it’s a good window of opportunity to partially convert to a Roth.”

Godlewski said tax diversification also is important—having a portion in taxable accounts, another amount in tax-free accounts, and some in tax-deferred accounts.

Annuities

Godlewski said. “In a variable annuity, more risk is involved as investors aim “They all sound similar but they Asset diversification for bigger profits. The insurer invests all work differently,” Godlewski said.

1Online Learning

Mobility issues, travel restrictions, budget or time constraints may make your opportunities for international learning and travel a challenge. But you don’t have to leave your front door to continue your journey of lifelong learning in retirement. There are countless

online lectures, educational programs and courses designed for seniors that you can take to occupy and expand your mind even when you don’t have the ability or budget to learn about the world in person.

2 Volunteering

One top retirement hobby is volunteering. It’s good for the soul, highly social and comes in a thousand forms.

Work in a museum, and you’ll have daily opportunities to learn something new.

Take part in a service role where you can help others. Or volunteer at an arts center where you can have (often free) access to performances.

Make your reading even more rewarding by joining a book club as one of your hobbies in retirement, and you can deepen your understanding of both books and people.

on the bird and your mind in trying to identify the bird. Birding is an excellent hobby for any senior or retired person.

8 Gardening

Gardening is good for the body, the brain and the soul and a great idea for retirement. Add this popular pastime to your retirement hobbies list, and you’ll get exercise and, if you grow vegetables, eat more healthfully.

9 Foreign Language Study

Don’t fall for the trap that learning a foreign language is only a young person’s game. While youth has some advantages, older people bring something special to the task, namely, focus and a genuine commitment to learning that children often lack.

For years, they took care of us.

Now, it’s our turn.

10 Writing that’s so important to healthy aging.

Add that all up, and in a 45-minute walk you’ve helped your brain more than you would by doing a crossword puzzle.

5 Photography

Would you like to learn to see in a completely new way?

The great photographer Alfred Stieglitz wrote that “in photography there is a reality so subtle it becomes more than reality,” and several of the retirees we surveyed made similar observations.

6 Genealogy

With abundant Internet resources and the advent of other digital tools, genealogy has perhaps never been more popular, making it one of Road Scholars’ top hobbies for retirement.

Genealogical detective work is a great pastime for your brain and might even introduce you to distant cousins you otherwise would never have met.

7

Birding

Birding is a perfect activity for older people —you get outside and walk, you can go by yourself or with a group, and you exercise your reflexes in focusing

Erik Erikson, the eminent psychologist who carefully mapped the stages of human life, wrote that the seventh stage is marked by conflict between stagnation and generativity.

“Generativity” means leaving something of value to future generations, whether by changing the world or by passing on stories and lessons to one’s children and grandchildren. Writing is a great tool for generativity, and many seniors who have written memoirs have jumped into other genres of writing.

At Gurwin Healthcare System, we’ve been caring for Long Island families for generations, providing a full continuum of services that offer unparalleled clinical excellence, innovative approaches to care and unmatched safety protocols.

It’s reassuring to know that Gurwin will be here, helping you care for your family the way they cared for you, no matter what tomorrow brings.

Musical Instrument

Another top hobby for retirees: taking music lessons. Like studying a foreign language, this pastime is something seniors are often a little afraid of. But here, too, older people often have a more disciplined approach to practice that young musicians lack.

That can be a great advantage and can lead to satisfying progress.

12 Bicycling

If walking or hiking is too hard on your knees, bicycling may be the best retirement hobby for you. Many seniors say that bicycling rekindles the feelings of freedom they experienced as children cycling everywhere.

Nursing Facilities Produce TV Show For Homebound Seniors

E

xcel at Woodbury for Rehabilitation and Nursing and Lynbrook Restorative Therapy and Nursing have joined with The Life Enrichment Center at Oyster Bay (LECOB), to produce a series of entertaining and educational TV shows to engage senior citizens who may still be homebound while senior centers remained closed.

LECOB provides social activities and vital services for people 60 years old and older.

“The goal of this project is to reach seniors to combat the isolation, depression and anxiety that is prevalent due to social isolation,” Palladino said.

“From our experience over the last year, we have learned only about 10 percent of the seniors are comfortable or able to operate Zoom. In an effort to reach these seniors, Paragon Management is collaborating with the Life Enrichment Center to produce a series of one hour shows that will cover subjects such as nutrition, exercise, meditation and more.”

The show is co-produced by Carolyn Palladino, community liaison at Excel at Woodbury and Denise Walsh, community liaison at Lynbrook Restorative Therapy and Nursing.

“When Carolyn and Denise proposed the project to the center, we signed on without hesitation”, said Judy Palumbo, executive director of LECOB. “The need to reach homebound seniors was always

Nancy Farinaccio and Mary Frignani of The Life Enrichment Center at Oyster Bay do a healthy cooking segment on the show ‘Wisdom and Wonder’ which debuts on NSTV. there. The pandemic helped bring to light the social isolation that older adults experience in the best of times. It has been difficult to engage older adults in digital programs, so we jumped at the opportunity to bring them programs through a medium that they are comfortable with, the TV.” The LECOB is providing the site for filming and suggested content segments, with Paragon Management providing content and guest hosts.

“This collaborative effort will help the senior

community who are now facing the challenge of having many of their senior centers closed due to the pandemic,” Walsh said. “We are excited to work in partnership with LECOB to create senior programing to be shown across Long Island throughout the pandemic and after, to any homebound person who may need the engagement.”

Viewers can tune in to the show on first and third Sundays of the month at 9 a.m. on NSTV (Ch 20 on Optimum and Ch 37 on FIOS), a public access channel that reaches 14 incorporated villages on the north shore, including Great Neck Estates, Great Neck Plaza, Kensington, Kings Point, Lake Success, Munsey Park, North Hills, Plandome, Plandome Manor, Plandome Heights, Russell Gardens, Saddle Rock, Thomaston and more. The shows can also be accessed via YouTube at NSTV or on the website NSTV.org.

In addition to Excel at Woodbury Nursing and Rehabilitation and Lynbrook Nursing and Rehabilitation, Glen Cove Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation and Emerge Nursing and Rehabilitation are also contributing content for the new show. There are future plans to expand the distribution of the show to other cable public access stations.

What Retirees Should Know Retirement is yours to define

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

M

Specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

any people planning for retirement anticipate those post-working years eagerly, ready to veg out after a life of toil. Others plan with greater anxiety, unsure whether they even have an identity without their jobs.

But it may be that retirement these days is far different from what either point of view envisions.

“We all have made decisions based on the information we had at the time, but later realized we would have planned differently if we knew then what we know now,” said Patti Hart, co-author with her husband, Milledge, of The Resolutionist: Welcome to the Anti-Retirement Movement. “That’s definitely true when it comes to planning for retirement.”

The Harts don’t even think of themselves as retirees, but as “resolutionists,” constantly challenging themselves to improve.

“I’m busier now than I’ve ever

been,” Milledge said. “I’m using this time to be a better me than I could when my days were structured and my time was spoken for.”

With that said, the Harts share five things future retirees may wish they had known sooner:

isn’t what 1Retirement it used to be

Most people’s vision of retirement is built on what the people around them did, but that vision is outdated.

“Many of us watched our parents or grandparents settle into a quiet, nondescript life,” Milledge said. “We’ve seen the stereotypical portrayal of aging and irrelevant ‘retirees’ on TV shows and in the movies.”

Many retirees are much more vibrant than those stereotypes and have no intention of sitting quietly on a front porch while the world passes them by.

People have more time 2 in this phase of life than previous generations Anyone who expects retirement to

be a few short years tacked on to the end of their working life could be in for an awakening. In actuality, this period could last 20 to 30 years or more. The average 65-year-old man can expect to live another 18 years and the average 65-year-old woman nearly 21 more years, according to the Social Security Administration. And those, it should be remembered, are averages.

It’s important to con3 stantly prepare for the next phase

The Harts acknowledge they should have been planning earlier than they did. Instead, time slipped by.

So, when should you get serious about planning for those post-career years?

“Right now would be a good time,” he said.

need to 4 Retirees redefine their metrics

The Harts say it’s important for people to redefine how they measure success in this phase of life because it’s different from how they likely

measured success in their career days.

That simple change, she said, improved their lives substantially.

a resolutionist 5 Being is fun

If someone had told the Harts when they were in their 30s that their “retirement” years would be filled with so much fun, laughter, and fulfillment, they would have been skeptical.

“We laugh more now than we’ve laughed at any other stage in our life,” Milledge said. “This phase is instilled with so much adventure, and it’s a feeling that comes from within rather than the happiness of achieving a certain stock price.”

“I wish I had known sooner that I could say goodbye to the corporate world and still be interesting and relevant,” Patti said.

“I wish I had known that retirement is yours to define. I successfully defined my role in the business world, but it didn’t dawn on me that I could also reinvent retirement. It seems perfectly obvious now,” she added.

Taxes, Retirement And The Need

BY SCOTT STATON

taxes now than to wait until they reach retirement.

With all that in mind, let’s take a look at a few things retirees, pre-retirees and others need to know:

C

Specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

oncerned about how taxes may affect your retirement?

If so, you’re part of a growing cadre of Americans, some of whom are beginning to reassess their finances as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainties it brought about.

In a recent Harris poll conducted in conjunction with Nationwide, 62 percent of those surveyed said they think it is more important now than it was previously for them to develop a strategy to address taxes in retirement.

Actually, it was always important, so it’s good to see that more people are coming to realize they should be proactive in accounting for taxes as they stash away money for what they hope will be their Golden Years.

Sure, we all realize taxes are important. Otherwise we wouldn’t have roads, bridges, a military and all the other services our contributions to the government help pay for.

But that doesn’t mean we enjoy

Tax-deferred accounts

paying taxes—or that we have any interest in paying more than what is necessary.

The trick, of course, is making sure you take steps to ensure you pay what you owe—but not a dollar more. That’s not always easy and lawmakers routinely change the rules and the allowable deductions, making it that much harder.

The good news is, sometimes changes to the tax code benefit you.

The bad news is, sometimes they don’t.

That Harris poll showed that 60 percent of Americans, leaning toward the bad news side of things, expect their taxes to go up significantly in the next four years. Also, 62 percent say it’s more important to minimize

When you set aside part of your income to contribute to a traditional IRA or 401(k), you can postpone paying taxes on that money.

You also can gain interest on those accounts each year without paying taxes. Of course, with tax-deferred accounts, the key word is “deferred.”

Eventually, the tax bill comes due.

When you retire and start withdrawing money from those accounts, the IRS will want its share. But what if you decide not to withdraw money from your tax-deferred accounts because you have other income that can pay your bills? Once you reach age 72, you have no choice. That’s when required minimum distributions come into effect. The government requires you to withdraw a certain percentage of your money each year so it can claim those taxes.

Roth conversions

Let’s say you are worried about those tax-deferred accounts and the tax bill that’s going to come due down the road.

One solution that’s become popular in recent years is a Roth conversion.

In such a conversion, you move money from your tax-deferred accounts to a Roth IRA. You pay taxes when you make the conversion, so typically you move portions of the money over several years to avoid a big tax hit all at once. But once it’s in the Roth, the money draws interest tax free and you pay no taxes when you make withdrawals in retirement.

Capital gains

President Joe Biden has proposed raising the capital gains tax on investors who make more than $1 million. Capital gains are profits made from selling investments. Currently, the top capital gains tax rate is 20 percent, but Biden’s plan essentially would eliminate that and tax the capital gains as

ordinary income, which could mean a rate as high as 37 percent. As you can imagine, that has some people concerned. What can those investors who would be affected do? One option would be to spread out the sale of their assets over several years to avoid having more than $1 million in gains in a single year.

These, of course, are just a few ways taxes might impact your retirement, whether that retirement is happening soon or is still several years away.

Remember that Harris poll I cited earlier? One of its other findings was that 41 percent of retirees said they wish they had been better prepared for paying taxes in retirement.

In truth, you won’t find many investments that allow you to escape paying taxes completely and no generic advice can account for everything that might affect your post-working years can become the individual situation. That’s why it’s retirement you dreamed about. important to seek financial advice from someone who can help you navigate the sometimes confusing Scott Staton is the founder and tax rules so that more money president of Staton Financial Group stays in your pocket—and those Inc.

Curran Announces Summer Youth Employment Program Nassau County Executive Laura Curran recently announced that the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) is providing funding to the Nassau County Department of Social Services (DSS) to provide an abbreviated Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) for eligible youth ages 16 to 20 years. The DSS partnered with various Nassau County departments to place over 75 youth in various jobs.

“The county-run Summer Youth Employment Program connects young residents with paid job placements. The program gives young people education, training and support services while allowing them explore career paths,” Curran said. “Outstanding young adults have come through this program in past years, and I can’t wait to seeing this year’s group put their talents to work.”

Exposure to work settings and connecting youth to jobs are key components of Nassau’s SYEP. The program helps youth enhance their work history and employability through education and training workshops that provide job-readiness and work-related skills. The program will also help youth develop their social capital by connecting with potential employers. DSS identified the youth by collaborating with local schools, and DSS foster care agencies.

Social Services Commissioner Nancy Nunziata stated, “The program is a wonderful opportunity for our youth to earn money and develop job skills necessary for their future success. We are grateful to OTDA for providing the additional funding in order that county youth can benefit from this worthwhile program.”

SCHOOL NEWS

Eighth through 10th grade students at Mineola High School performed their self-made production of Capsized Cabaret at Mineola Memorial Park.

(Contributed photo)

THE SHOW GOES ON IN MINEOLA Despite the challenges fine and performing arts departments have faced due to the pandemic, Mineola High School students have managed to persevere, putting on two successful drama performances. Last month, 11th and 12th graders put on multiple shows of Into the Woods at the Hampton Street School football field.

Students were able to stay socially distant while the audience looked on from the bleachers.

On June 5, eighth, ninth and 10th grade students put on a performance of Capsized Cabaret, a show they

helped write and design themselves.

Capsized Cabaret centers on a cruise ship that is overturned in the Bermuda Triangle. As part of the self-made production, students were asked to audition as a character of their own creation, then existing songs were catered to their scenes. Capsized Cabaret was born from a collaborative process and had two performances in Mineola Memorial Park, where the student actors distanced and essentially performed songs one at a time.

Students in the Massapequa High School orchestra regularly play music by famous composers, but it’s rare for them to perform a piece written by one of their peers. That was the case this year, as they learned a composition by senior Adriana Kamor, who started writing original music in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kamor said that composing was her way of staying connected to music when schools closed down in

ANTON MEDIA GROUP • JUNE 23 - 29, 2021

March 2020. She used a program called Note Flight, which was recommended by her teacher Marjorie Spagnuolo, to create new arrangements of pop songs she likes.

She said that creating music on computer software produces a digitized version of the song, so the first t ime she heard her classmates play the 2 minute, 10 second song live was an amazing experience and really brought her creation to life.

Phyllis Roslyn (LaValle) Hiller

Phyllis Roslyn (LaValle) Hiller passed away peacefully on June 2, 2021 at the home of her son in Parkesburg, PA. She was 91. Phyllis was born in Queens, the daughter of Joseph and Mildred LaValle. She was a long-time resident of Port Washington, where she raised her five children: Chris (Maureen) Hiller of Fulshear, TX; Steve (Yolanda) Hiller of Katy, TX; Brian (Don) Hiller-Dupont of Armonk, NY; Catherine Hiller (Mark Suher) of Canandaigua, NY and Matt (April) Hiller of Parkesburg, PA. She is survived by her children, twelve grandchildren (Katie, Colleen, Luke, Connor, Steven, Joseph, Sara, Brandon, Jonathan, Isabel, Micah, Will) and three great-grandchildren (Jack, Anderson and Luca). She was preceded in death by brothers, Jeff and Peter LaValle, and sister, Jacqueline LaValle McFadden.

Phyllis completed her MSW at Adelphi University and worked 20 years for Nassau County Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation. She enjoyed bridge, golf, good food, and many friends, and she loved Port Washington. She was active at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church until her health declined. Independent, funny, beautiful, loyal and loving until the end, she will be greatly missed.

Funeral mass will be held at Our Lady of Fatima in Port Washington at 11 a.m. on Monday, June 28.

COUNTY NEWS

Curran Proposes Major Economic Recovery And Community Investment Plan A s part of her sweeping initiative to restore financial health and create jobs and opportunities lost due to the pandemic, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran was joined by elected officials, members of her Economic Advisory Council and community stakeholders to announce her proposal to use $62,900,000 from the American Rescue Plan to fund a robust economic recovery and community investment package.

Curran has submitted legislation to the Legislature that delivers relief for small businesses, residential and commercial renters, revitalizes main streets and downtowns, and rebuilds Nassau’s water infrastructure.

The county has launched a new online portal at www.nassaucountyny. gov/BoostNassau that will serve as a one-stop-shop to determine eligibility for federal, state, and County programs and apply for available recovery grants, loans and other assistance programs and initiatives, including support to school and special districts. For those needing additional information and support, Nassau County staff will be available by appointment (phone or in person) at the new Boost Nassau Resource Center, a county facility at Eisenhower Park.

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran’s Economic Recovery and Community Investment Plan includes the following:

Economic Recovery ($32,5000)

• Boost Nassau Main Street Small Business Grant Program - $10,000,000 —Capitalizing on the success of the County’s Restaurant Recovery Grant Program, the program proposes to utilize $10M to support a wide range of small businesses in the retail sector, at $10,000 per eligible business (under 50 employees and other criteria).

• Boost Nassau Small Business Loan Program - $10,000,000 —Following the model of the County’s successful Boost Nassau Loan program, Nassau proposes to utilize $10M to launch a new low interest loan program designed to assist small businesses and non-profits recover and grow post-pandemic.

• Workforce Development - $10,000,000 —Funds for apprenticeship programs for various key skilled workers needed in construction and building trades including training and educational programming for private and public sector jobs; enhanced entrepreneurial skills training and development to

target public education and professional training on conservation as it relates to lawn care; launch a municipal buildings low-flow fixtures survey program; display a bi-county sustainable lawn showcase; require water suppliers to implement automated meter reading technology and updated water bills to show water consumption.

Community Investment ($17.9M)

Nassau County has now launched an online portal while opening a new resource center in Eisenhower Park. (Photo source: Facebook) encourage key industry growth and expand opportunities for small businesses and MWBEs; retraining and upskilling programs through local colleges and universities, BOCES, and other partners.

May include stipends to qualified individuals to promote return to work by addressing barriers to workforce entry such as unmet costs for childcare, transportation, or other living expenses.

• Boost Nassau Resource Center Technical Assistance Partner - $1,000,000 • Boost Nassau Resource Center Staffing, Supplies, Ad buy - $500,000 • Boost Nassau Tourism Program - $500,000 • Technical Assistance Grants to Chamber of Commerce and Business Improvement Districts – $500,000

Water Infrastructure ($9M)

and water infrastructure to conserve groundwater. The five-year program includes a variety of initiatives and implementation strategies such as expanding the County’s Smart Sprinkler Rebate program to incentivize homeowners to install water saving devices that reduce their irrigation reliance, especially during the summer months; 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll find yourself in a competitive environment. You might be surprised at the counterintuitive way you can gain an advantage. For instance, you can show dominance by relaxing, going against expectations and keeping a few of your assets under wraps so as not to inspire jealousy or incline others to stock their arsenals.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People in love spend more time looking into each other’s eyes, and studies suggest that people who spend more time looking into each other’s eyes are also more likely to fall in love. In a similar vein, your attention causes flourishing, so be careful not to look too long at what you don’t want.

Council meeting Solution: 19 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In the movies, one person covers the other person’s eyes and leads them to a surprise. Does this sort of thing happen in real life? If anyone can orchestrate such a gesture, it’s you. This or an equivalent act of planning will be the gesture of delight to start an ongoing trend of happy relationships.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are in a mood to take control and do it your way. The world still hands you an agenda, but you don’t accept it.

Neither will you answer the question you’re being asked or otherwise fall in line. Instead, you’ll affirm what you want, take a step back to reassess, interrupt the pattern and establish your order.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are known for your skills of diplomacy but this week features an even more useful skill of yours. You’ll get people to open up in a creative, fun and unusual way. Your warmth promotes a sense of closeness and attraction. Later in the week you’ll finally, and with great relief, wrap up a project. This is one for the resume!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Without an instinct for self-preservation, no one gets far. And yet, it is also impossible to thrive with instincts that don’t go beyond our own survival. A person with compassion, gentleness and loving concern stands out as the superior choice for company over anyone who is merely adept at netting selfish aims.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Novel challenges will arise, best faced with a partner, friend or team member. There’s more than just one outcome at stake here, the real opportunity being a rare chance to bond. Relaxing has its merits, but working together to achieve a goal brings people closer while creating memories.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Action is the remedy for fear. It occupies the part of the mind that otherwise would flow to worry, avoidance, procrastination tactics and the like. And even better, action allows you to see your impact, feel powerful and prove to yourself that what you do makes a difference so there’s no need to be afraid.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll learn success strategies from someone slightly ahead of you and gain wisdom from someone who hit their prime decades ago. Just don’t mix up these two categories. Things have changed since the old guard, and the young superstars are wily but not wise.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As an agreeable person, you are aware of how commitments can structure your tomorrows -- hopefully in ways you look forward to, though it’s entirely up to you. Knowing what you’ll enjoy doing is half the battle, and the other half is a matter of quantity. This week, say yes to short-term commitments.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Adventure calls; you answer... along with a rag-tag team. You’ll be the omni-amenable fit. Everyone likes you. You learn people quickly and help them optimize their talents. They, in turn, bring out the best in you. A straightforward goal in September is something you can organize your life around. You’ll see what you want, check the price tag and figure out how to make it happen. Also notable will be your involvement in a healing. The way forward will be lighter and brighter.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you create something, you open yourself up to the possibility of criticism, which takes an entirely different skill set to handle. Just know that you have options. You can ignore comments or combat them, analyze or apply... all completely valid options this week and there’s special luck for combining all four.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can’t change what happened, but you can change what it means to you. The reason to bother with bending your negative stories of the past into the light is because doing so will have a remarkably positive effect on how you feel about today, which in turn has an uplifting influence on your future experiences.

Farmingdale High School Teams Earn Multiple Accolades

armingdale’s sports teams never fail to impress, exhibiting incredible displays of camaraderie and discipline on and off the field.

Farmingdale’s Athletic Department is proud to announce that, in addition to multiple victories and awards won by the fall teams, they have also achieved Scholar-Athlete Team status. This recognition is reserved for teams in which 75 percent or more of the athletes have maintained a 90 percent or higher grade-point average throughout their sports season. The hard work, focus and dedication evident on these sports teams translate to the hours student-athletes spend poring over their studies each day.

To be a part of an incredible roster of sports teams is, in and of itself, no easy feat; to be equally as dedicated and successful in your academics makes the attainment of Scholar-Athlete Status all the more impressive.

The fall sports season looked very different this year, taking place in March and April. Teams had new protocols and much colder temperatures to deal with than usual. Girls varsity soccer had to submit to weekly COVID-19 testing Saturday mornings and daily temperature checks upon arrival.

“We won a grueling playoff in double overtime at Plainview before bowing out to the eventual county champions in the semi-finals,” Coach Ilan Gornstein said. “The team owes its successful season to their great leaders and captains: senior Jaden Keener and junior Emma Best.”

Farmingdale Varsity Football was fortunate enough to play five out of their six scheduled games. Pandemic protocols affected the locker room and how they took the bus trips to away games. The team was fortunate to survive it all without any severe team consequences.

“The highlight of the season was just the chance to play football,” Coach Buddy Krumenacker said. “The work ethic and dedication to living within these guidelines is truly a credit to our entire Farmingdale community.”

The Dalerettes Farmingdale High School Kickline team thrived. All of their hard work and dedication paid off each time that they stepped out on the field. Despite the odds, the Dalerettes still were able to have a fantastic halftime show with the band.

Each member of the team contributed their fair share of positivity. Even with

Members of the Farmingdale High School Varsity Swim & Dive team all of the protocols, they managed to accomplish all of their team goals.

Captains Cassie Fox, Rachel Goldberg, Zoë Leung, Hayley Boyle and Erin Magrane put in so many outside hours to choreograph all of the routines.

“Through their fun, organized leadership and communication skills, they shaped the Dalerettes team into nothing but greatness,” Dalerettes coach Jess Baker said. “Our captains took our team to a level that will be hard to top for the upcoming seasons.”

The varsity boys volleyball team advanced to the second round of the playoffs this year. There were some challenges along the way getting through the season, but the student-athletes always stepped up.

COVID-19 quarantines caused some game cancellations, but getting back in the gym to compete again was the best feeling. Matt Teplansky received All-County and Matt Pantorno received All-Conference accolades at the culmination of the season.

“I will always be so grateful to all of the seniors for bringing back some normalcy to the school day and year,” Coach Richard Zeidler said. “They taught everyone how important it is to enjoy every minute throughout the season.”

The girl’s varsity tennis team went undefeated this season, winning all seven of their matches and earning the title of Conference Champions.

The team was led by eight graduating seniors, with Brianna Callahan, Kaley Chan and Amanda Oppedisano, having played all four years on the varsity team.

“This year was particularly a challenge playing in 30 and 40-degree weather,” Coach George Golden.

“We take pride that three girls were awarded All-Conference and eight girls achieved All-Division status.

Once again, the team achieved the scholar-athlete award. Truly a year to remember in many ways.”

The golf season was included with the other low-risk sports in relation to pandemic protocols, creating a safe environment for student-athletes to play with their teammates and compete against other schools. As with golf, it was much easier to keep players safe and socially distant.

Varsity golf finished the season in a tie for third in Conference IV. Captain Megan Broscritto had a competitive season and will take her golf acumen to college, where she will be participating on the Adelphi University

Women’s Golf Team.

The Lady Dalers swim team finished seventh overall at the Nassau County Championships, three spots higher than last year and their highest finish since 2012. Ten girls earned All-Conference honors and dive champion Lauren Mehta was named to the All-County team and Co-MVP of the county meet.

The medley relay of Lauren Mehta, Brooke Andros, Shannon Kelleher and Malika Sodhi earned all-conference honors. Samantha Commike finished twentieth in the 200-Free. Senior Taylor Spucces was ninth in the 50-Free and sophomore Bella Cimino was fourteenth. Spucces earned AllConference honors with a fourteenth place finish in the 100-Free, with Cimino close behind in seventeenth.

The 200-Free Relay of Cimino, Sodhi, Kelleher and Spucces was sixth overall and All-Conference. Mehta finished fifteenth in the 100 Back in AllConference position and Commike, Spucces, Cimino and juniors Jessica Giordano and Lauren Danulevith were All-Conference in the 400-Free Relay, finishing in twelfth place.
