Port Student Creates Charity To Help Community Members BY CAROLINE RYAN

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

adia Deyhimi, a fifth grader from Port Washington has been doing her best to help others in the community since the COVID-19 pandemic struck Long Island. In light of the pandemic, Deyhimi, 11, created a charity called Citizens of the World. “When COVID-19 happened, I was terrified,” Deyhimi said. “It didn’t seem real until somebody we know had [the virus]. I felt helpless. My Mom said to me ‘You can be scared and live in fear or you can do something to make a difference.’ So I decided to take action.” For her birthday, Deyhimi asked her relatives to contribute money to Citizens of the World. Since the pandemic began, Deyhimi has raised $450 for her cause and was able to make a food donation to Our Lady of Fatima Church’s food pantry.

County Executive Curran Announces PACT Initiative New county effort to promote dialogue between law enforcement and protest organizers

BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

assau County Executive Laura Curran announced last week the formation of a new county initiative that is aimed at building trust, transparency and a working dialogue between community activists and police—the Police And Community Trust (PACT). The effort will bring together protest organizers, law enforcement and other stakeholders to listen and engage in conversations about concerns raised by the community in recent weeks given the many protests that have taken to Long Island in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. “Instead of letting this moment divide us, we will reach across racial and generational divides to constructively address the issues being raised in our communities as one Nassau,” Curran said. “I have the utmost confidence in our residents and believe we will emerge stronger and more united if we can listen, engage with good faith and respect one another. Although recent protests have been part of a national movement, PACT will be Nassau County-centered, focusing on local issues and looking at ways for us to strengthen Nassau’s community policing model.” PACT meetings will consist of Curran, who is the co-chair, alongside South Floral Park Mayor and defense attorney Geoffrey Prime, Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder, three members of Nassau Police Department’s Community Affairs, President of Municipal Police Chiefs Association and Garden City Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson, Hofstra Law School Professor and former prosecutor Fred Klein, student and community activist from Hempstead Blair Baker, community activist from Roosevelt Tamica Cox, student and community activist from Baldwin Alexis Holt, and student and community activist from Hempstead Travis Nelson. “I want to thank County Executive Curran for this tremendous honor,” Prime said. “I look forward to working

with the men and women of this committee, who represent all walks of life here in Nassau County. This dialogue can, will and must lead to changes in our system, so that all disaffected people can truly feel that the system is working for them, not against them.” Prime also commended the young organizers for highlighting many inequities that exist, not just in the criminal justice system, but throughout many aspects of daily life for African Americans. “This initiative will provide an excellent opportunity for community leaders, government officials, community activists and police officials to get together to communicate and discuss current issues in an effort to improve community/police relations,” Jackson said. Ryder added that the PACT initiative

will increase the police department’s efforts and awareness so that they can continue to grow the partnership between officers and the community. “The Nassau County Police Department has always had excellent community relationships and this brings us one step further to our goal of enhancing our engagement even more,” Ryder said. Baker said that as a young black woman from Nassau, she’s excited to have and push these certain types of conversations forward with others. “This is not the time to be defensive, but instead the time for an honest and open conversation in order to break the barriers between the police and the community,” she said. PACT will also engage Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas’ office, Office of Minority

Affairs, faith-based groups and Human Rights Commission to seek and gather ongoing input. In a letter to the community, Singas said her office will partner with Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University Law to analyze comprehensive charging and case disposition data to identify racial disparity and bias and publicly report the findings of that review as well as any corrective action warranted. Among many other initiatives, Singas’ office will seek the appointment of a special prosecutor for all new cases in which a police officer is credibly accused of criminal conduct in the course of their duties. Singas’ office will then encourage the State Legislature to codify Executive Order 147 and expand its provisions to create a special prosecutor’s office within the Office of the Attorney General to investigate those cases. To further the strengthening bond between officers and community members, Curran recently announced that the county issued a Request for Expression of Interest (RFEI) for respondents interested in partnering with the county to design and implement a Body-Worn Camera Program for the county’s police department. The county is seeking to provide bodyworn cameras to sworn personnel in the Nassau County Police Department to record enforcement and other interactions between officers and the public. “Now more than ever, we must continue to build trust between communities and the police,” Curran said. “Nassau does community policing better than anyone else, but we always strive to do better. Body cameras have proven to be a valuable tool in promoting transparency, safety and accountability. Nassau is bringing everyone to the table to make positive, concrete change.” What did you think of this article? Share your thoughts with me by email at: amurray@antonmedia group.com

Twin Sisters Are Tops At Farmingdale High School

By Dave Gil de Rubio

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

OVID-19 threw the educational system into turmoil, but it didn’t stop Gianna and Rebecca Morales from making their mark as they graduate from Farmingdale High School. The sisters become the first identical twins to graduate as valedictorian and salutatorian respectively. Gianna will graduate as valedictorian with a weighted GPA of 104.770 and an AP Scholar with Distinction Award while sibling Rebecca will graduate as salutatorian with a weighted GPA of 104.707. The duo were surprised to find out about this distinction by the school administration. “We were in our calculus class in school and we got a call over the intercom asking us to go to the guidance office,” Rebecca recalled. “We walked into the guidance office and Mrs. Molina, our guidance teacher, asked us if we still wanted to change our gym class period, because we had been trying to change it since it was still early in the year. And she told us that we would have to go request permission from Dr. Thompson, our principal in his office. So then, we went from the guidance office into the main office where his office is. As soon as we walked into his office, there were people clapping and a photographer taking pictures.” The duo’s considerable accomplishments reflect the combination of drive, intelligence and deep curiosity that enabled the duo to achieve such heights in their young academic careers. Among the sisters’ numerous activities, honors, and awards are membership in the National Honor Society, National Art Honor Society, Tri-M Music National Honor Society and Science National Honor Society.

Northwell Health Labs Discusses Importance Of COVID-19 Antibody Tests by joseph wolkin

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

s New York continues to ease stay-at-home orders and phases of reopening are well underway, the importance of being tested for COVID-19 antibodies cannot be stressed enough. Anitbodies do not necessarily mean you are immune to the virus. A person can still contract the virus, but not get sick even with antibodies. However, they can possibly still contaminate others. The complicated virus’ antibodies can stay in your system for about one year, Dr. Dwayne Breining, executive director of Northwell Health Labs, explained. Breining, who is pathologist, is one of the nation’s leaders in researching, studying, diagnosing and treating diseases. He stops by to explain the importance of testing for coronavirus antibodies, what it means, as well as blood plasma donations. How important is it for people to get tested for antibodies? We’re in an interesting point right now and it’s important

Q A

testing in the height of the severity. Antibody testing gives the medical and public health community a necessary window into how the virus spread to various communities. All of the indications are that if you have antibodies or definitively had COVID and recovered from it, you are in all likelihood resistant to getting that infection for the next year or so. So how long do antibodies remain in your system? The antibodies actually stay in your body forever. The reason they aren’t effective is because the virus mutates and changes over the course of a couple of years. It’ll have a different color code from the virus that you might have had. That’s why you need a vaccine every year for the flu. Judging from all of the other coronavirus’ that we’ve had experience with—10 percent of our seasonal illnesses are caused by types of coronavirus’ and they’re fairly similar to COVID, but there’s less mortality—the antibodies usually give you immunity for a year to three years. It’s what we call seasonal immunity.

Q A

for epidemiological studies. It tells us how much the COVID virus has already spread in various communities, and that’s called zero prevalence studies. It tells us not only who has the infection, but who had it in the past and recovered from it. We couldn’t do nearly enough diagnostic

Q A

What is a plasma donation and how important is it? We’re still waiting on a couple of studies, but there’s a large national study to determine the effectiveness of convalescent donation in the COVID-19 disease. The preliminary data looks very encouraging. It’s a technique that’s been used for various infectious diseases that’s been used for more than 100 years. Blood transfusion is a relatively safe technique. We do a good job at screening the blood donation supply, which includes red cells, plasma and platelets for infectious diseases. We learned how to do that very well during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The million dollar question is, “Does it help?” You have to do large, controlled studies. It takes a while for the data to accumulate, but it seems highly likely that convalescent plasma treatment will show a positive effect for sick patients who receive those donations.

Port Student Creates Charity To Help Community Members By Caroline Ryan

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

adia Deyhimi, a fifth grader from Port Washington, is doing her best to help others in the community since the COVID-19 pandemic struck Long Island. In light of the stay-at-home orders, Deyhimi, 11, created a charity called Citizens of the World. “When COVID-19 happened, I was terrified,” Deyhimi said. “It didn’t seem real until somebody we know had [the virus]. I felt helpless. My mom said to me, ‘You can be scared and live in fear or you can do something to make a difference.’ So I decided to take action.” For her birthday, Deyhimi asked her relatives to contribute money to Citizens of the World.

Since the pandemic began, Deyhimi has raised $450 and counting for her cause, and she made a food donation to the Our Lady of Fatima Church Food Pantry in Port Washington. “I called Lady Fatima and spoke with Sister Catherine,” Deyhimi said. “I shared with

her that I raised money and would like to use the money to buy food for the Lady Fatima Food Pantry. I asked her what type of food to buy and she shared with me to get food that I would like.” Deyhimi purchased several non-perishable food items, such as pasta, tomato sauce,

rice, beans, goldfish, peanut butter and jelly, which she donated to the pantry. “Sister Catherine truly was so thankful [for the donation],” Deyhimi said. “I felt so good that I could make a difference in my own small way.” Throughout the coming

weeks, Deyhimi plans to save up her allowance to afford to purchase food for the food pantry again. She is hoping to learn how to create a website to be able to spread the word about her charity Citizens of the World, so that she can continue helping others. Deyhimi wants to encourage other children her age to contribute and get involved in the community any way they can. “Any small or big gesture can help,” Deyhimi said. “I know kids like me feel helpless at times but we can make a difference. I know I can’t solve the pandemic, but I can make a difference in somebody’s life in a positive way.” Reach out to sima@ infinity-2.com to donate to Deyhimi’s charity.

pening a restaurant at the height of a pandemic may not be the most savvy business move to make, but for David and Danny Antin, launching Danny’s Chinese Kitchen in Massapequa on May 22 at 20 Broadway has so far worked out rather swimmingly. Having opened up a flagship business in Bellmore back in 2014, the Antins were more focused on making their mark in Oceanside in 2021 when a unique set of circumstances presented itself in their most recent eatery. “Interestingly, we had purchased a space in Oceanside, where we knew there was a lot of demand and that was supposed to be our second restaurant,” David said. “This place that we’re in now was a Chinese food place and we heard that it became available. The owner was going to do something else and was going to close the store. So we jumped on it. It was an opportunity—it was built right for us and had everything we needed. Instead of waiting to build out Oceanside, we decided to come into Massapequa first while we were building Oceanside. As you probably know, with all the permits that you need, building out a business takes a lot of time. Having a restaurant that was already built to our specs was a unique opportunity for us. So that’s what brought us to Massapequa.” The Antins’ path to food service started with younger brother Danny, who had cut his teeth working in similar eateries as a teenager and a young man. Having attended C.W. Post and earned an accounting degree, dissatisfaction with his career choice found him reconsidering what he wanted to do with his life. “From the age of 15 to 22, I worked my way through high school and college by managing a place like this,” Danny said. “So I always had this experience from a young age. Then I became an accountant and did that for about seven or eight years. I started at one of the Big Four accounting firms and moved to a private retailing company and did that for about five years or so. After that much time, I realized that accounting wasn’t something that I loved to do. So I thought about what I could do and I knew I had the experience of doing this for a long time as a kid. I kind of took a shot

Danny’s Chinese Kitchen owners from left: Danny and David Antin to see if I could do it on my own.” While Danny eventually got his dream off the ground about six years ago, brother David only got fully involved in the last year and a half. “I was a silent investor for the first five and a half years and we’ve been partners since day one,” David said. “I had a different career. I ran a publishing company and then an investment research firm in the city. I decided to

leave that and join him. Our goal was to expand the business, which he had built very successfully. We had an opportunity to expedite that growth with an existing restaurant and that’s how we wound up in Massapequa.” With a menu that is an Americanized version of Cantonese Cuisine, Danny’s Chinese Kitchen features lunch specials; combination platters; chef specialties; health and fitness choices; and vegetarian options. Signature items include barbecue spare ribs, General Tso’s and sesame chicken. There are also a couple of dishes unique to the restaurant. “We have a couple of special things you wouldn’t find in other Chinese restaurants and zoodles is one of them,” David said. “What zoodles are is a lo mein dish where we replace the actual pasta noodle with a spiralized zucchini. So for those people who are

carb conscious, but like the taste of the Chinese food, it’s a lo carb option and it’s very popular for some of our customers looking for healthier options. We have a pastrami egg roll on the menu that is relatively unique. We put pastrami in there with some caraway seeds and Swiss cheese, so it’s almost like a Reuben in an eggroll wrapper. It’s served with Russian dressing and deli mustard as a choice. It’s one of our more popular and unique items.” “Our goal is to wow your taste buds,” Danny said. “Every dish on our menu is prepared to order using the freshest and highest quality ingredients sourced from local vendors.” When COVID-19 became a health crisis back in the middle of March, the Antins were forced to close the Bellmore spot for 40 days in response to the concern employees had about their own safety. Reopening on April 20 meant having to address newer challenges that included doing 100 percent credit card transactions and keeping track of customers’ cars who were coming to pick up food they ordered from as far away as the North Shore, Flushing and the Rockaways. “It actually ended up being good for us because it was good practice to open up a new business,” David said. “Being that we were open for six years and had certain operational routines to try to maximize the number of customers that we could serve in a relatively short window of time. It added some change and complexity to the business, but we got through it.” Emboldened by the response they’ve gotten from their customer base, the Antins are excited to become part of their new community. “We’re thrilled to open and be part of the Massapequas,” Danny said. “It’s a remarkable accomplishment for us to open during these unprecedented and challenging times, and while we’re adjusting to a new normal, our recipe for success remains the same: outstanding service, delicious Chinese food made from fresh ingredients, in an immaculately clean environment.” Visit www.dannyschinesekitchen or call 516-783-9000 to find out more about Danny’s Chinese Kitchen Do you have a story you want to tell?

Amazon Prepares To Build A Massive Warehouse In Syosset by joseph wolkin

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

new Amazon warehouse is getting ready to take shape in Syosset. Just months after the online retailer announced it was creating a location in Carle Place, they are creating a similar facility just a few miles away. The Syosset warehouse will be Amazon’s fourth on Long Island, an expansion that’s come as a result of the HQ2 debacle that saw plenty of backlash as Amazon attempted to ink a deal in Long Island City, Queens. Now, Amazon is receiving plenty of cooperation from leaders inside of the Town of Oyster Bay, and it is likely to happen. Amazon plans to build a 200,000square-foot facility on the former property of Cerro Wire, which lies just off to the side of the Long Island Expressway. The project will create an estimated 550 jobs, with Supervisor Joseph Saladino saying there will be about 150 warehouse employees and 400 delivery drivers, not including the dozens hired

residential property taxes in check,” Saladino said. “Amazon would create over 550 new jobs in our area while environmentally cleaning up the property and eliminating a current eyesore.” A year ago, the property was considered as the area for the Syosset Park development project, which would have created a mixed-use community, featuring housing, retail and entertainment spaces, as well as hotels. It would have combined the 39-acre Cerro Wire property with 54 acres owned by the town. Taubman Centers previously planned to build a shopping mall on the property, but competitor Simon Property Group prevented that from happening. In 2014, Simon purchased the property from Taubman Centers. Garden City’s Castagna Realty, which is owned by the Albanese Organization, has a partnership on the property with Simon called Syosset Park Development LLC. Saladino reported that Amazon is indeed discussing its options for the property. “For too long, this property has been the subject of debate due to concerns

over increased student enrollment, over development and density, as well as increased traffic,” the supervisor said. “This proposal alleviates those concerns and has the least traffic impact of any proposal we’ve seen to date.” Amazon will not require zoning changes to the property. However, the firm still needs to submit a full proposal to the Town of Oyster Bay. “We await their official submission,” Saladino said. “From what we know, this proposal will fit within the current zoning requirements and not require any variances.” Since Amazon came under fire for the Long Island City proposal due to its tax incentives, as well as a helipad for CEO Jeff Bezos, it branched out to Long Island. The company has two warehouses in Bethpage. The Carle Place facility’s construction started earlier this year. A major benefit to this location is that it is not in a residential area. The property surrounds the Oyster Bay Public Works Department and the Oyster Bay Animal Shelter, just off Robbins Lane.

Belmont Park Arena Names Executive Team Belmont boosts staff as NYCB at Nassau Coliseum shuts down By joseph wolkin

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

he group overseeing the Belmont Park Arena project just announced its new executive team. New York Arena Partners, which includes the New York Islanders ownership group, the Oak View Group and Jeff Wilpon, made the announcement on June 17. Tom Pistore will serve as president of commercial operations and Hank Abate is the new president of arena operations. “During these unprecedented times, we’re fortunate to be building Belmont Park Arena, which we are confident will play a key part in New York State’s economic recovery,” Tim Leiweke, CEO of the Oak View Group, said in a statement. “This is going to be a world-class venue with a top executive tea. Tom and Hank are highly respected throughout the industry and the perfect choices to lead us.” Belmont Park’s executive group will also feature Charles Groneman as the chief Financial officer, Zachary Klein as general counsel and Lea del Rosario as senior vice president of human resources. “I’d like to thank ownership for the privilege of joining this once in a lifetime project,” Pistore said. “Belmont Park Arena is going to be an iconic venue that will transform the way fans view sports and live entertainment.” Pistore previously worked with Toronto’s Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Partnership. He worked within four different leagues, leading premium, membership and retail game admission revenues across all product segments. As Pistore comes to Long Island, his areas of expertise include customer acquisition, retention programming, premium VIP programming, partnership development and marketing promotion. He also served as a senior consultant for the Islanders prior to being named as part of the Belmont Park Arena executive team. The $1.3 billion arena project’s construction is well underway. Though construction was temporarily halted due to stay-at-home orders during the COVID-19 pandemic, Belmont Park is still scheduled to

The 19,000-seat Belmont Park Arena is set to open in 2021. (Photo courtesy of New York Arena Partners) open in time for the Islanders’ 202122 season. The Belmont Park Arena is also on a hiring spree, with New York Arena Partners stating that the June announcement “is a monumental first step.” The 19,000-seat arena will be accompanied by a shopping area, as well. “We’re going to have the first third-generation arena in American history,” Islanders majority owner Jon Ledecky said earlier in the year. “This arena will be unbelievable from a technology standpoint. Of course, the entire arena will be 5G and adjacent to it will have a 250-room hotel and across the street and highway, there will be a retail village. “So how do we get you out off the couch and to Belmont? That’s what we’re solving for. We have to make the experience at Belmont Park arena— not just in the arena, but outside the arena with many things that we will be having going on at this part we’re building next to the arena.” Nassau Coliseum The Grand Old Barn is in trouble. New York Arena Partners’

announcement of its new executive team came just after Onexim Sports and Entertainment’s Mikhail Prokhorov, who is the ex-owner of the Brooklyn Nets, said NYCB Live at Nassau Coliseum will be closing. Prokhorov sold the Nets and the Barclays Center in December to Alibaba’s Joseph Tsai, but he still owns Nassau Coliseum. The reason for shutting down NYCB Live, the Russian billionaire said, was due to finding new investors to take over the lease. Bloomberg News reported that there is a $100 million debt on the Grand Old Barn. The Islanders were supposed to play all of the team’s playoff games on Long Island, rather than the Barclays, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo

said in late February. However, that plan has been scratched because of COVID-19 anyway. Additionally, the Islanders inked an agreement to fully return to NYCB Live at Nassau Coliseum for the 202021 season. The team played 24 of its home games in Nassau prior to the COVID-19 shutdown. The NHL will return on July 10 with teams starting training camp. Then, there will be a 24-team Stanley Cup tournament in two host cities. Currently, Las Vegas is the front runner to be one of the two areas that will be a host city. Do you have a story you want to tell? Share it with me at jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

OUR OPINION

It’s Time For Sports I miss the crack of the bat. I miss seeing pitchers drawing a line in the sand with their cleats. I miss baseball. You probably do, too. While it’s pretty obvious no one besides team personnel will be heading to a stadium anytime soon—if a season even happens at this point—I still have baseball withdrawals. And it’s not just baseball. It’s all sports. Each major sport has presented a plan to come back sooner rather than later. They have various potential ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 from team-toteam, but what they all have in common is they understand America needs sports more than ever. A distraction is simply needed in this time of stress. Sports are a way to unwind, a way to express your emotions by cheering for your favorite team and yelling at the television when they don’t win. The MLB, though, is at odds with players over how many games they’ll play and what percentage of their salaries they’ll receive. “The owners are a hundred percent committed to getting baseball back on the field,” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said in an ESPN interview last week. “Unfortunately, I can’t tell you that I’m a hundred percent

certain that’s gonna happen.” See, this is the mentality we don’t need. We need the MLB and its players to come to an agreement. It doesn’t need to be ideal. What it does need to be is fair to fans. Everyone understands they won’t be watching their favorite players take to the field in person. It sucks. But it’s life right now and we need to get used to it. However, the owners need to do their part and make sacrifices, too, and that means realizing they signed contracts with players for a large sum with no clauses that say they can’t be paid that amount because of outside circumstances. They have a job to do. Now, more than ever, we need players to simply play ball. Society, as a whole, needs to make sacrifices. It’s time to suck it up. Let’s play ball. Let’s have fun. Let’s have some stress relief. Unfortunately, the NBA might be in a similar predicament. Players like Kyrie Irving have said that, as part of the Black Lives Matter protests, they should strike as a sign of solidarity. They believe that will raise more awareness of

their cause. I’ll go as far as saying the opposite is true. Right now, few people care what NBA players have to say simply because the MLB is the focal point of the summer months. But when the NBA comes back, the players can rise to the occasion. Their voices will be louder than ever before. People will listen to what they have to say because fans will respect the fact they’re risking their lives to not only provide a service but to show they’re playing for so much more. If you take a step back, you can take two steps forward. We need sports to come back as soon as they can. It’s really that simple. Millions of fans are suffering as it is. A distraction is needed. It’s really that straight forward. While the NBA players are arguing a distraction is the last thing needed right now, that’s simply incorrect. Do they not understand what their roles are in society? It’s literally to distract people and let fans be part of something larger than themselves. The fact that individual leagues have come up with plans to prevent the spread

of the coronavirus when activities resume is fantastic, and it needs to be appreciated. But how can anyone appreciate it when players refuse to participate for whatever reason it might be. The plans are solid, with the NBA playing in Florida for example, which prevents players from traveling. The NHL will have a limited number of teams for its return. NASCAR has implemented significant social distancing requirements, as is the PGA Tour. But that’s not enough. Everyone needs to be on the same page. Everyone needs to realize this is larger than them. For a person suffering right now because of the pandemic, seeing their favorite team participate in an event can be a difference-maker in terms of their mental health. If an athlete refuses to participate in an upcoming season because of the health risks associated with it, that’s one thing. However, they seem to be in an agreement that it isn’t COVID-19 that they’re worried about. What really matters is the external issues—protesting for the NBA players and contract issues for the MLB ones—and it’s simply not right. Let’s make a difference and actually get sports back up and running. —Joseph Wolkin

Online Dating: Lessons Learned From Matching During COVID-19 COVID-19 has altered the process of courtship. Many daters who had been resistant to using online dating sites/ apps adopted this approach during quarantine with the hope of forming connections. Additionally, preexisting users had to adjust their usual method of connecting. The seemingly common approach is to have a few exchanges with a match and then get to the “in real life” meetup. The purpose of this is to avoid prolonging the virtual backand-forth, lest you wind up with a pen pal rather than a partner. This conventional wisdom went out the window as stay-at-home orders were enacted. Many dating companies that had primarily focused on swiping and in-app messaging swiftly incorporated video chat options, enabling people to connect in a way that would closely mimic what we had been used to. With no clear end point to the quarantine, people began to interact with one another using video without being able to pin down a clear date to meet in person. For many, early “getting to know you” conversations transformed into deeper, more intimate virtual connections. While many found this to provide a source of comfort during a difficult time, others were frustrated by the process of dating in an online environment. Now that we are slowly and

LOVE LESSONS Marisa T. Cohen, PhD

cautiously returning to life as we knew it pre-pandemic, what might be important to transfer over from how we virtually adapted to dating? The key may be intimacy. Intimacy is an important component of relationships. Many people immediately think of sex when they consider intimacy; however, while sex may be a part of some intimate relationships, it is not all that intimacy is. It involves self-disclosure and sharing your innermost wants, fears, and desires with a partner. By having the opportunity to engage in multiple conversations before the in-person meeting, many virtual daters gradually got to know one another on a deeper level, touching on important topics such as plans for the future, as well as addressing one another’s values and beliefs. This

enabled daters to get a better sense of how likely they were to get along, even before having the opportunity for a physical connection. People were put into a position in which in order to keep the momentum, many intentionally connected as friends first. Additionally, dating during such a tenuous time, in which there was a concern for our health and well-being, as well as that of our loved ones, may have changed the types of conversations people were having with one another. By discussing how they were coping with the pandemic, daters were provided with a first-hand experience of the comfort and security they were able to derive from their potential partner.

As states continue to open and we attempt to return to our normal routines, there are likely to be some lasting changes. While it’s a bit too early to tell how and if dating will be impacted in the long-term, it is important to examine how users’ experiences with video dating may have impacted their connections to those they matched with, and later chose to meet up with, in person. In the event that the decisions to finally meet were made more deliberately and turned out to be more successful, we may owe that to creating an intimate space in which we got to learn more about one another prior to engaging in a physical connection.

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS MINEOLA

Chris Morandi, a junior at Mineola High School, has been putting his time at home to good use. After his mom saw a post on the Mineola Moms and Dads Group Facebook page offering a 3D printer for use, Morandi provided relief to health care workers. As a student in the MineolaFarmingdale Computer Science program, he downloaded Cura, the software needed to access the plans to an ear relief strap, which provides a great relief to health care workers who need to wear masks. After experimenting with the design and scaling it to fit the 3D printer he was working with, Morandi made his first 40 straps that he donated to Operation PPE, a group of Mineola families dedicated to helping health care workers. To date, Chris has donated more than 300 of these straps and will continue as long as there is a demand.

GARDEN CITY

At Garden City High School’s virtual presentation of its Senior Awards and scholarships on June 4, senior Stephen Michael was awarded the Garden City Foundation’s Althea Robinson Excellence in Business Education Scholarship. Michael was selected by the high school’s Business Education and Guidance Departments as the student who best exemplifies the spirit of the Garden City business community by achieving academic success in the area of business, with criteria set by the Foundation. The $3,000 scholarship will go toward Michael’s college education. He will attend New York University Stern School of Business with plans to major in finance.

The Syosset High School Red Cross Club has been taking several measures to help those on the front lines and those affected by the pandemic. Firstly, the Syosset Relief Group, as they’ve coined it, set up a fundraiser for the American Red Cross. Although the original goal was to simply raise $1,000, due to the kind contributions of members, the students more than doubled their goal in less than a month. Additionally, with the help of the Jericho Red Cross, they reached a grand total of $2,296. The donations will help ensure a sufficient supply of blood reaches hospitals and provide food and other basic necessities to those in need. They also acknowledged the widespread isolation caused by this pandemic, so they created a bingo night to connect the Syosset community in these troubled times. Not only has it fostered a sense of community, but the bingo night allowed the Syosset Relief Group to raise $600 more to donate thousands of face masks to Nassau University Medical Center.

HICKSVILLE

In light of recent executive orders implemented by the governor due to the pandemic that will impact schools, and anticipating others to come, Hicksville Public Schools has organized a task force of district leaders and school community stakeholders to aid in guiding the reopening of its schools. “We have done a great deal of internal work already reimagining what school will look like under the CDC guidelines and whatever New York State may mandate to keep our students and staff safe,” stated Superintendent of Schools Marianne Litzman. “We are looking at all aspects of school operations. The board and administration will continue to communicate with our community in the weeks and months to come as the task force develops a strategic reopening plan.” Because so many of the details have yet to be decided about how schools will function for the reopening, and much of this may be mandated at the federal and state level, community members are encouraged to regularly visit www. hicksvillepublicschools.org for updates as they become available.

WANTAGH

For the third consecutive year, the Anti-Defamation League designated Wantagh Middle School as one of the nation’s 1,600 No Place for Hate schools. This prestigious designation was accomplished through the sponsorship of activities that promote acceptance, tolerance and kindness on campus and by sending a clear message throughout the school that all students have a place to belong. In order to be considered a No Place for Hate school, Wantagh Middle School completed a needs assessment, formed a No Place for Hate committee, signed a Resolution of Respect and designed and implemented at least three schoolwide anti-bias or anti-bullying prevention activities. In February, the middle school held No Place for Hate Day in which students participated in content-based activities and ruminated about the promotion of tolerance, acceptance and kindness toward others in the school community and beyond. Lessons about these important concepts were infused into every aspect of the curriculum with videos, music, math, reading material, physical education activities, artwork and meaningful discussion. Furthermore, Spread the Word Day was designed as a day of inclusion where students watched a video and made pledges that they would be more inclusive and less exclusive. Students and staff also had meaningful conversations about being inclusive. The middle school also placed kindness-based messages on classroom doors to perpetuate the idea that human beings should be kind to one another.

Hot N’ Cold

The debate between hot and iced coffee BY FRANK RIZZO AND CAROLINE RYAN

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com / cryan@antonmediagroup.com

Hot Coffee

h, nothing beats a supersized, oversweetened, overcaloried, overpriced cup of iced coffee on a hot summer day, right? Err, not quite. Okay, maybe those first few sips through the straw are satisfying. Otherwise everything about iced coffee screams overindulgence and artifice. And that includes the now fashionable cold brew variety. Actually, it’s the ice in iced coffee, which automatically swings the debate in favor of hot. Drink it quickly or else the ice melts and waters the java down to insipidity. Admit it, if not for the sweetener, your iced coffee would be tasteless by the time you crunch the last ice cube. Now take hot coffee. Consider the astonishing variety you can get, from thick and muscular Turkish and espresso brews, to cream-laden, flavorful lattes. Let’s talk health benefits. Granted, there is an unending series of studies proving either that coffee extends your life—or shortens it. That is still up for debate. Ice adherents have long claimed that their favorite contains less acidity, making it a healthier alternative and easier on the stomach. Wrong. An article in Scientific Reports (October 2018) comparing hot- and cold-brewed coffees found little difference in acidity. And for those who put emphasis on the powers and benefits of antioxidants, guess what? The

study concluded that hot coffee contains higher levels of those reportedly healthy ingredients. How about the environmental impacts? Hot coffee can be served in china or humble paper cups that readily dissolve in landfills. Iced coffees are limited to styrofoam or plastic cups that will take decades to break down. No wonder many municipalities are starting to ban styrofoam cups. Add those ubiquitous large plastic straws for the large iced coffee containers, and you have to another point for hot coffee. Finally, nothing beats a “cup of joe” to wake up in the morning. Sure, you can head to the nearest coffee bar, but brewing it at home and enjoying it in your backyard or at a cozy kitchen table can be so much more satisfying. Think how long it would take to cool the hot-brewed coffee in order to ice it. Similarly, if you have a cold-brewing machine, the process takes hours. Why wait? Now (hot) coffee versus tea— that’s a better debate. But hot versus iced coffee? C’mon, that’s a one-sided slaughter. I’ll drink to that.

Iced Coffee You know you’re an iced coffee addict when you find yourself shivering after each and every sip of your cold coffee beverage, even during the winter months when it’s 20 degrees outside. Iced coffee addicts everywhere will agree that a cold coffee is far superior to that of hot coffee for many reasons.

Get your caffeine fix quick: First, iced coffee allows you to get your caffeine fix in almost immediately since you don’t have to wait for your beverage to cool before taking a sip. Say goodbye to burnt tongues and time spent staring at your coffee mug wondering if it’s cool enough to take a drink.

Hello flavor options: Iced coffee offers endless flavored options like those specialty drinks you order from Starbucks, Dunkin’ or your favorite local coffee shop. From exciting and unique flavors such as banana and coconut iced coffee to vanilla fudge and caramel, there are so many flavor options an iced coffee has to offer. Some iced coffee connoisseurs opt to try every flavor option there is available on a menu.

Low acid levels Another reason iced coffee addicts enjoy sipping their cool beverage every morning, day and night is that cold brew coffee contains 67 percent less acid than hotbrewed coffee. Without all that acid plaguing your drink, iced coffee drinkers can enjoy a big mug more often. Plus, reduced acid levels can also be healthier for

your stomach and teeth.

Save money—make your coffee at home If you are looking to save a dime or the time spent at your local coffee shop, making iced coffee from home is very easily. A cold brew coffee typically lasts about 10 days in your refrigerator, making coffee on-the-go much quicker. To make cold brew coffee all you need your favorite coffee brand, a pitcher or mason jar and a thin paper coffee filter to help strain the coffee grounds.

Stay cool and caffeinated True iced coffee lovers will tell you it’s never too cold for an iced drink—especially a caffeinated one. With the summer months approaching, iced coffee is the perfect beverage to help cool you down and keep you awake for all of those activities you have planned this summer.

It’s healthier for you For those of us looking to trim our waistlines—iced coffee may help to keep you beach bod ready. One of the best advantages to iced coffee is that it has no carbs and is fat free. For example, a regular iced coffee at Starbucks only has five calories per 16 ounce serving.

No burns here For those of us that are uncoordinated, or say a tad bit clumsy, iced coffee is the perfect beverage of choice. Although our intention is never to waste our much-loved beverage, spilling a cup of cold coffee is not the end of the world. Spilling a cup of hot coffee however, could burn your skin and cause you to feel quite uncomfortable.

Taste The Flavor The many different flavors of coffee BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

lot of people have their own preferences when it comes to their food and drinks, and one of the many great things about coffee is that you can make it to your liking. If you walk into any Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts and look at the menu, you’ll see that there is a plethora of different coffee flavors. Who knew there was a demand for Butter Pecan flavor coffee anyways? Here are some flavors of coffee that will be sure to perk you right up.

French Vanilla

The term French vanilla was originally used to describe a vanilla custard or ice cream that was made with cream, egg yolks and vanilla extract. The flavor

French vanilla, in addition to vanilla extract, also contains hazelnut, caramel or butterscotch flavors as well as spice notes such as anise and cassia. French vanilla is usually a sweet tasting flavor, but some places do have unsweetened French vanilla, which doesn’t overwhelm the person drinking it.

Mocha

On the other side of the flavor spectrum from French vanilla is mocha— another popular choice of flavor for coffee lovers. Mocha is a chocolate-flavored variant, which its name is derived from the city of Mocha, Yemen, which was one of the centers of early coffee trade.

Mocha is a close cousin of coffee and hot chocolate, and has a sweet and bitter chocolate flavor.

Hazelnut

Hazelnut flavored coffee is another good choice amongst coffee drinkers. Hazelnuts are used in confectionery to make praline and are also used in combination with chocolate for chocolate truffles and products such as Cadbury chocolate bars and Nutella. Turkey is the world’s largest producer of hazelnuts. The characteristic flavor of hazelnuts is described as nutty, toasted and earthy. For people that love the hazelnut flavored coffee, add a dash of cinnamon to give that roasted nut taste a kick.

The Baddest Around

Anne Burrell talks about season 20 of Worst Cooks in America BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

czaweski@antonmediagroup.com

T he Market is Strong!

t ‘s the battle of the baddest. Now in its 20th season on The Food Network, Worst Cooks in America returns this month with a cast of 14 culinary-challenged contestants flipping, frying and failing their way to a $25,000 grand prize. In this season, veteran host and celebrity chef Anne Burrell is joined by Iron Chef and Supermarket Stakeout host Alex Guarnaschelli in often hilarious attempts to whip their amateur recruits into shape. The two teams of atrocious cooks, one mentored by Burrell and the other by Guarnaschelli, need all the help they can get as they stumble their way through outrageous challenges designed to improve their kitchen skills. Throughout the seasons, Burrell has witnessed her fair share of mishaps. Everything from burnt bread flying out of a toaster and across the boot camp kitchen, to contestants boiling eggs in plastic bags. Burrell says the hijinks never get old. “The things I have seen

people do to a can of tuna fish is just sad and hilarious,” Burrell said with a laugh. “The recruits really are that bad. We don’t need to fake it. But as we go through the season, they dig deep and develop a real-life skill.” The baseline challenge at the beginning of the first episode is always telling. In order to pick their teams, Burrell and Guarnaschelli must determine what they’re working with. For their first challenge, the recruits are tasked with making their favorite childhood dish. Then for the main challenge, the recruits learn how to spice up their cooking by making Jamaican jerk chicken. The two recruits who cluck it up are sent home. “Ten minutes into the first challenge, my new co-host will turn to me and ask, ‘What is this, what is going on here?” Burrell said. “Every co-host I have in the beginning doesn’t realize that these people are truly the worst cooks in America.” Burrell, of course, has empathy for the cast and home cooks across the country. The coronavirus pandemic was particularly eye-opening for Burrell, who has spent the past three months cooped up at her family’s home in a small town with two grocery stores. “It makes me understand even more

ANNE BURRELL’S KILLER TURKEY BURGER the responsibility I have to be a teacher,” she said. “Going forward in my career, the new recipes I write for the home cooks will be about creating chef-worthy meals without having to spend all day doing it.” You can catch Burrell sharing her cooking tips on the seven-episode season of Worst Cooks in America, which premiered on Sunday, June 21 at 9 p.m. on The Food Network. Viewers can look forward to episodes that include a Japanese cuisine themed sushi-rolling and bento box challenge, a blindfolded donut eating contest and a trip through past kitchen disasters. In the finale on Aug. 2, the two most-improved recruits will prepare a three-course restaurant-quality meal for judges Mary Giuliani, Julian Rodarte and James Tahhan in a blind taste-test to determine the winner of $25,000 and bragging rights for their team leader. Anne Burrell’s Killer Turkey Burgers They say necessity is the mother of all invention. That is the case for Anne Burrell’s Killer Turkey Burger recipe. On a visit to her sister’s

house, she learned while getting off the plane, that the family was having turkey burgers for dinner, and Burrell was in charge of cooking. “I’m on a mission to right all that’s wrong in turkeyburgerdom,” she said. “I looked in her pantry and just grabbed some stuff. She had a can of water chestnuts hanging out in there so I decided to put a crunchy little twist on dinner. I added some soy, sautéed onion, ginger, garlic and cilantro to the mix, and voilà. The killer turkey burger was born.” Burrell’s top tip for new chefs is Mise En Place, a French culinary phrase which means “everything in its place.” It basically means to have ingredients measured and cooking tools on the counter and ready to go before cooking. “Only when you have your Mise En Place done can you start cooing,” Burrell said. “When you feel more comfortable cooking then you can do things faster and work on recipes that are more advance.” Whether you are an at-home pro or culinary novice this recipe is one to try this summer.

Ingredients: Extra virgin olive oil 1 onion, cut into ¼ inch dice Kosher salt 2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped 1 ½ pounds ground turkey 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated 1 eight-ounce can water chestnuts, coarsely chopped ¼ cup soy sauce 2 tbsp sambal oelek or Asian chili paste (optional, but recommended) ½ bunch of fresh cilantro, leaves finely chopped 4 burger buns Garnishes (optional): 4 slices American Cheddar cheese 4 slices beefsteak tomatoes 4 slices red onion 4 leaves butter lettuce ½ cup mayo mixed with 2 tsp sambal oelek Directions: 1. Coat a large sauté pan with olive oil and toss in the onion. Season with salt and bring the pan to medium heat. Cook the onion until soft and very aromatic, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic

and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool. 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey, ginger, water chestnuts, soy sauce, sambal, cilantro and the cooked onions and garlic. (Note: Save the onion pan to cook the burgers in later) Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to the mix—this will keep the burgers really moist. Use your hands to squish the mixture until everything is really well combined. 3. Make, cook and eat a little tester patty to be sure the turkey is really delicious. If the seasoning isn’t just right, add a little more soy or salt. When you’re confident the burger mix is perfectly seasoned, form it into 4 equal

patties. 4. With a paper towel, wipe out the sauté pan you used to cook the onion, coat the pan with fresh olive oil and bring it to medium-high heat. Cook the burgers for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. The burgers should be browned and cooked through when done. If working in batches, keep the first batch warm in a 200 degree oven while cooking the second batch. 5. Toast the burger buns, top with the burgers and garnish as desired.

Remote Care

App provides state-of-the-art telemedicine for pets BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

five-point scale how urgently you need to see a veterinarian. If your pet’s vet is not on the Petriage platform, the app will point you to the nearest open vet clinic. For non-urgent cases, the app may offer some educational and practical information related to common symptoms.

czaweski@antonmedia.com

ven before coronavirus, telemedicine was steadily gaining momentum in the health care industry. Not just for people, but for our pets, too. The pandemic has sped up the trend toward telemedicine, but the change will be lasting, as people become more accustomed to telemedicine in their own lives and expect more flexibility from their veterinary providers, said Shlomo Freiman, DVM, co-founder and chief veterinary officer of Petriage. Petriage, a telemedicine app for pets, is helping people care for the fourlegged friends remotely. A graduate of Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine and 26-year career veterinarian, Freiman, along with his team of accredited veterinary professionals, created Petriage to help veterinarians and pet-parents provide the best possible care for their pets when it is not possible to be in-person. We sat down with Freiman to learn more about the future of telemedicine for our pets.

When was Petriage founded, and what inspired the idea? In 2015, a family friend called

Shlomo Freiman, DVM, is a co-founder and chief veterinary officer of Petriage. (Contributed photos) me while he was on his way to the animal emergency room. His dog, Bodhi, had just experienced a seizure. I had him pull over so I could ask him a few questions about Bodhi’s condition and based on his answers, I advised him to observe Bodhi for now. It wasn’t an emergency and there was nothing the animal ER could do that couldn’t wait until I could examine him the next morning. I’ve seen so many panicked pet parents rush to the ER when it could have been avoided, as well as the opposite, where pet parents under-react to very worrisome symptoms I wanted to give them a way to make smarter decisions about their pet’s medical care to help them avoid unnecessary

hassle and expense while improving the medical outcome. My friend, Bodhi’s parent, it turns out, has a Ph.D. in biostatistics from Harvard. Together we build the AI part of the Petriage app, so that pet parents can have a reliable way to triage their pets at any time of day.

What type of services does the app offer that are valuable to pet parents? The app provides all users with actionable information about the urgency of their pet’s symptoms. You simply enter your pet’s basic information and answer a few questions about his or her symptoms, and the app will tell you on a

Can people speak directly with your expert vets? The relationship between the pet, the pet parent and the veterinarian is critical to proper care. While telemedicine can be a valuable supplement to a standard practice, it is not a substitute.

Yes, Petriage is available for free, 24/7, from your mobile device or online at Petriage. com.

Where can people find the app? You can download the app on your smartphone or other device using the iOS or Android app stores, or you can find us online at Petriage.com

How much does it cost? The Petriage app is completely free to download and use.

What types of pets can you assist? The Petriage app is currently able to assess symptoms in cats and dogs only, though we hope to add other pets to our algorithm in the future.

Can pet parents access the service 24/7?

On Thursday, June 4, 2020, John “JR” Ryall, 65, beloved brother and uncle, of Carle Place, NY died in Providence, RI from complications of COVID-19. Born in Queens, John moved to Carle Place in 1963, making schoolyard friendships that would last a lifetime. After graduating high school in 1972, he studied communications at New York Tech. John kept his home in Carle Place until he relocated to Rhode Island in February of this year for medical reasons. Those who knew John will remember his passion for music. His tastes were eclectic, from punk to alternative to rock to pop, and his expertise, extensive. His music and memorabilia collections were vast. His knowledge of artists, songs, venues, concerts, and other music trivia was unparalleled. John was also an avid and loyal Mets fan, rooting for his hometown team since its inception in 1962, although not always agreeing with its management or their choices. He is survived by his three siblings, Maureen Ryall (Louis Bershad) of Jamestown, RI, Thomas Ryall (Amy) of San Antonio, TX, and Kathleen Ryall (Thomas Cavalluzzi) of Wayland, MA, seven nieces and nephews (Melissa, Tanner, Chase, Daniel, Madison, Eliza, and Molly) and numerous cousins. He is pre-deceased by his parents, John E. Ryall and Anna V. “Nancy” (Neylon) Ryall. John was a kind and generous soul, a loyal friend, and a beloved brother and uncle. He will be missed dearly and remembered fondly. Please think of him the next time you hear a Beatles song. A memorial service in NY will be set for a future date to be determined. You can show your support in the meantime by making a charitable donation in memory of John Ryall to the American Heart Association or Rise Up NY in support of COVID relief. 216729 M

COUNTY NEWS

Curran Announces Splash Parks And Spray Grounds Will Open July 3 in Freeport, Mackey Park in Roosevelt and Grant Park in Hewlett. Curran also announced that the county is coordinating with privately run day camps to reduce their use of county pool facilities to give residents priority. For hours of operation, opening dates and other news, visit www. nassaucountyny. gov/openparks Heath Commissioner Dr. Larry Eisenstein addressed concerns of the virus being spread in water. “According to the CDC, there is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread through the water in pools, hot tubs, or water playgrounds, and water with chlorine or bromine should kill the virus,” he said. “COVID-19 is primarily a respiratory virus not spread through ingestion. Although we cannot say it’s 100 percent impossible, the chances of contracting COVID-19 through water is considered extremely low. The best way to protect

yourself remains social distancing.” Curran also shared that concession stands will be open at pool facilities following appropriate health and safety measures. In addition, the county will soon announce food truck offerings available outside of pool facilities that

would allow pool patrons to order food and coordinate pickup electronically. “I want to encourage everyone to enjoy the outdoors safely and responsibly,” Curran said.” —Submitted by the Nassau County Executive’s office

Just One of Our Many Signs of Caring. There are many ways we have worked to let our caring show. Designated parking, specially designed restrooms and extended ramps to allow for easy wheelchair access are several important ways. We believe efforts like this make life easier for the 40 million disabled people across America. And, even if it helps only one person in our own community, then it has been worthwhile.

That is why I am limiting access to residents only to ensure they get priority.” Interactive splash pools are located in Cantiague Park in Hicksville, North Woodmere Park and Wantagh Park.

Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 19 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ve given so many people generous assurances of your caring and love without expectation of anything in return. You’ll now feel that radiating back to you in a myriad of ways. This solar year is fueled by a steadfast flow of positive energy and a sunshine agenda that none can derail. The start of August brings a big win that sets off a domino effect through 2021. In general, the secret to your success will be your participation. You’ll involve yourself strictly with entities that fuel your soul fire. COPYRIGHT 2020 CREATORS.COM

ARIES (March 21-April 19). While our fantasies involve transformations that are comprehensive and instantaneous, it usually doesn’t work this way in real life. One small change at a time, that’s what you can count on. This week, you’ll choose an area you can do something good in with a behavior you can easily repeat to exceptional effect. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People behave within the shape of their beliefs, whether or not they consciously know what those beliefs are. You are ready to know and accept more about yourself. This week, you will gain power and confidence with each subconscious limiting belief you bring into consciousness. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). From packaging to possessions, relationships to projects, recycling will be a theme this week. What can be given a second go-around? Things will be even better this time. Do not attempt to recreate past success though. The world has changed. This is a new cycle that warrants a fresh approach. CANCER (June 22-July 22). No one is born with skills. Each one we gain along the way is a development. Over the next three weeks, you’ve an augmented ability to acquire new abilities. There are admired people around you. Don’t mistake their skills for natural talent. Whatever they learned, you can learn, too, and you will once you decide to. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know what you want to accomplish, but you’re not sure how best to put it across. The style will matter, but it’s not the most important thing. Don’t be a slave to such details. Having to look a certain way or be perceived as embodying a certain role shouldn’t change what you are about. Style is form not content. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The composer’s secret: of all the notes in the scale, all the sharps, every flat, the halftones and quarter tones included, the note that is most beautiful beyond compare is silence. You’ll use it well now to create profound emphasis, allow for great understanding and lay a foundation for what you most want to express. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What you wanted -- longed for really -- no longer holds that peculiar pull. It’s like it’s been passed through a demagnetizer. Oddly enough, this moment, the moment in which you really could care less about the prize, how the game goes, what they think... this is the moment when they most celebrate and promote you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People are a puzzle to be solved, and you’re an expert at getting the best out of them this week. Much depends on how well you understand what they want. Keep in mind that some want to be left alone and will do their best work and be their happiest when they are given all the space they need. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You believe that people can improve, and you make them want to. You’ll be an excellent example and a terrific coach. It’s not always about encouragement and teaching. You also have to sense when to detach and let them fly or fail on their own. You’ll appreciate all the respect you’re shown this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In the field of research, there’s a rule of seven that will apply to your experience. The rule states that you can find anything if you go down seven levels. If the first source doesn’t know, ask for a recommendation as to where to look next and continue down the line with the faith that you’ll get there soon. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The craftsperson suggests there is no such thing as all-purpose glue, and the same goes for the social glue that connects people. Each one needs something a little different. Through observation, you’ll learn what works and you’ll apply your natural warmth in just the right approach to wonderful effect. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If there are huge incentives to break the rules and the punishment is not too costly, then even honest people will cheat. And yet, trust is the bedrock of all good relationships, including your relationship with yourself, your loved ones and society at large. So how can you change your set-up to nurture more trust?

Oceanside Native Ready For Return To Baseball BY JOSH FINKELSTEIN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

ceanside High School’s Kyle Martin spent his high school career dreaming of playing in the big leagues. Shortly upon graduation, Martin started his professional baseball career in 2019 after being drafted in the 15th round of the MLB Draft by the Baltimore Orioles. After inking a deal with the Orioles, the right-handed relief pitcher registered a 4.12 ERA, 1.576 WHIP, 24 strikeouts and one save over 13 appearances (19 2/3 innings pitched) for the Aberdeen IronBirds of the New York-Pennsylvania League. Martin spoke to Anton Media Group about his time with Oceanside High School and the start of his career with the Orioles, his first spring training experience amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the future of minor league baseball.

Q A

How special was it for you to get drafted by the Orioles in 2019? It was the culmination of all the hard work that I had put in prior to that. I think the best thing about it was seeing how happy my parents were.

Q A

How did your time at Oceanside help prepare you for the professional level? I loved it there. Oceanside was awesome to play for. Mike Postilio, who was my coach in high school, was honestly the best one I’ve had to this day. I loved playing for him and I was with my best friends. The rivalries were great in high school and was a time that I had a lot of fun playing baseball.

Q A

What was your professional debut in the New York Penn League like this year? I was a little bit nervous, but when you’re on the mound, that kind of goes away. You always get that feeling in your stomach before you go out, but I tried to treat it like any other outing. It was against the Brooklyn Cyclones, which was pretty cool, because I grew up a die-hard Mets fan. Noah Syndergaard was making a rehab start that day, which was very cool to see. My parents and two of my buddies from college were there since they were all near the stadium, which was awesome.

What are some things you’re happy about with your first season in professional baseball and

Former Oceanside High School pitcher Kyle Martin just completed his first season of professional baseball in 2019 with the Baltimore Orioles. (Photo courtesy of Kyle Martin) what are some things you’d like to improve on? I got off to a really good start with seven scoreless outings. I felt great, but I started to overthink things and tried to be too perfect. I lost command of some of my pitches halfway through the year and, in my last outing, I got hit a little bit and that was a rough way to end the season mentally. Other than that, though, I had two or three outings where I didn’t have my best command and best stuff and I let it get into my head a little bit. I just have to focus on being simple and pitching how I pitch, not trying to be too perfect.

hotel, they started announcing that the NBA and NHL got canceled. The team emailed us that night to tell us to go home and then we woke up at 7 a.m. to another email saying we were staying. And then an hour after that, they sent us another email telling us we actually are going home. It was a really confusing time and I don’t think anyone really knew what was going on, but the Orioles decided to send us home. Originally, they told us that we’d be going home for a month and that we should stay in shape, but it has obviously been a lot longer than that.

Q A

What have you been doing to try and stay in game shape What was your first spring during all of this? training like? I actually stayed in Florida. My I got there on March 2 or March 3 mom has three siblings that live and was there until about March an hour south of our spring training 14, so I was there about a week-and- facility. My girlfriend and I actually a-half. We did the beginning of spring stayed at my aunt’s house in Maples, training routine and I got a live FL. I have a buddy from Fordham batting practice in and then, they told University that lives in Maples and us to go home. It was weird because he’s a catcher. I had someone to we went home from a regular day of throw to. I’ve also lifted every day. I practice. When we got back to the have nothing else to do so I decided

Q A

to work out all the time and throw every day. I’ve kept myself in really good shape.

What was your initial reaction to hearing about the league’s decision to cut the MLB Draft to five rounds? It stinks for guys that were going to be drafted in later rounds. I wouldn’t have gotten drafted since I was a 15th round pick. It’s unfortunate, but we can’t really do anything about it so we just have to keep playing.

MLB’s proposal to return to Q play has not talked about what would happen to minor leaguers.

How are you dealing with that uncertainty? We haven’t heard anything conclusive at all. I’ve been hearing that the minor league season is canceled, so if I had to guess, I’d say that we’ll probably go down to Florida sometime in the fall. Anything can happen, but my mentality right now is to keep getting ready, improve and be ready for whenever we get the call.
