TOP STORY

City Of Glen Cove Adopts School Bus Cameras Illegally passing a school bus will not be tolerated

JENNIFER CORR

T

jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

he Glen Cove City Council in midJune held a Special City Council Meeting that consisted of a public hearing and a resolution on the adoption of a School Bus Photo Violation Monitoring System to the Code of Ordinances.

Approved by the city council, the School Bus Photo Violation Monitoring System will authorize the mayor to enter into an agreement with BusPatrol America LLC to install and operate photo violation monitoring systems on school buses to record violations.

“The school bus program will allow us, similar to the red light traffic law, to put cameras on school buses to detect people who drive past stopped school buses that are letting off children,” City of Glen Cove Attorney Tip Henderson said. “This program will be done by a company called BusPatrol and also with the school district as well. And, the revenue that comes with it will be shared with this company. Forty-five percent of the revenue will go to the company, 55 percent of the revenue will come to this city.”

New York law requires that drivers must stop when a school bus is letting on or off students, and the law also allows districts and municipalities to capture offenders via cameras. (Photo courtesy Iconathon via Wikimedia Commons) Preventing drivers from illegally passing school buses is important, because, according to the United States Department of Transportation, while the amount of crashes caused by this offense is low, the risk is very high. In 1997, a survey on speeding and unsafe driving behaviors showed that 99 percent of drivers believed that illegally passing a school bus is among the most dangerous risks a driver can take.

According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, school buses are unlike other vehicles because they take longer to stop and need more room to maneuver. They also carry school children.

When drivers encounter a bus, the DMV says drivers should slow down because school buses make frequent stops. School buses are also required by law to stop at rail crossings. Drivers should also be alert for

children and parents that may be waiting at a school bus or running to catch the bus before it departs.

Drivers must stop at least 20 feet away from the bus. And before moving the vehicle, drivers should be extra careful as children may be walking in front of, behind or on the side of the bus.

Passing a school bus while it’s stopped for the purpose of dropping off or picking up passengers, indicated by flashing red lights on the school bus’s stop sign, results in legal and financial consequences for the vehicle operators.

On first conviction, the driver can receive a fine between $250 and $400 and/or up to 30 days in jail; the second conviction within three years can result in a fine of $600 to $750 and/or up to 180 days in jail and the third conviction, or more, within three years can result in a fine of $750 to $1,00 and/or up to 180 days in jail. Five points will be added to the driver’s record with each conviction.

To catch more violators in the act, a law was passed in 2019 that authorized school districts and municipalities to use cameras on school buses.

Violations from these cameras are $250 for the first offense, $275 for the second offense within 18 months and $300 for the third or more violation within 18 months.

“I am supportive of any measure that increases student safety,” Glen Cove City School District Superintendent Dr. Maria Rianna said.

Local Officials Express Concern About Closing Glen Cove King Kullen ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF editors@antonmediagroup.com

After an announcement that two King Kullen locations were set to close in Nassau County, including a location in Glen Cove that will close July 14, State Assemblyman Charles Lavine and State Senator Anna Kaplan sent out their concerns via a letter.

The two lawmakers sent a letter to Norman Bobrow, the owner of the property where the supermarket is located; “We reach out to you as the New York State Assembly Representative for the City of Glen Cove and the Chair of the New York State Senate Committee on Commerce, Economic Development and Small Business respectively, regarding the King Kullen Supermarket located at 77 Forest Avenue. It is our understanding that you are the owner of the property where

the supermarket is located. It is reported that King Kullen will close its Glen Cove market on July 28. King Kullen has been a strong presence in our community for 20 years and is known and appreciated for its wonderful fresh produce department and friendly customer service.

We write to express the hope that you will rent this space to another supermarket. Otherwise, Glen Cove will be left with only one major supermarket. As a city, Glen Cove has an urban demographic presenting the need for meaningful choices of markets providing fresh quality food.

Moreover, the City of Glen Cove is experiencing an influx of new residents with the opening of several large residential developments in nearby Village Square and Garvies Point, which will certainly support the continued existence of two full service grocery store options in the community.

Please let us know how we can help to make sure that the people of Glen Cove have access to fresh, nutritious and healthy food.”

Girls Rising Rocks Morgan Park JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

O

n June 18, Glen Cove’s Morgan Park was populated with music, art, local artisans and happy people, celebrating the achievements of girls and women especially, here on Long Island as part of the Girls Rising Music Festival.

Girls Rising is the brain child of Antigone Rising, a band from Sea Cliff, consisting of members Nini Camps, Cathy Henderson and Kristen Ellis-Henderson. The trio formed the nonprofit Girls Rising in 2014, after years of tireless touring and playing an upwards of 280 shows per year, because they began to notice about how few all-female bands existed.

An introduction letter included in the festival’s booklet that was passed out at the event stated, “Girls don’t see all-female bands anywhere. Girls don’t see too many female CEOs of major corporations or all that many airline pilots or NASA astronauts or chemical engineers or architects or pastors in churches or major league baseball players either. They don’t see female Presidents, or at least not in the United States of America and if they do see female soccer players, they see ones who are grossly underpaid compared to their male counterparts.”

In order to combat this issue, the mission of Girls Rising is to talk to girls and boys and let them know girls can do anything they put their minds to. Through workshops, Girls Rising empowers young girls and LGBTQ youth to follow their dreams, pursue nontraditional career paths and

The Mainstage and the Salon Solis Stage centered students, young talent, many of whom attend local middle schools and high schools, and musicians Antigone Rising, Shawn Colvin, Judith Hill and Lisa Loeb.

For its seventh year, this is a festival that has grown each time, even through the pandemic. Originally taking place in Sea Cliff, the festival moved to Morgan Park in Glen Cove because it got too big; a good problem many would say.

“These are the kids of the future,” Anti-

gone Rising road manager Amber Mallon said. “Give them a platform. Let them be heard... It’s a good time. It’s always a fun event. It’s for a good cause and it’s always great... The donations go towards the organization Girls Rising, so we can go out and we go to schools in underprivileged areas and we talk to kids.”

Also on the Mainstage was the Girls Rising Panel Discussion, which centered inspiring women who did not give up on their dreams even in the face of adversity.

Carnie Wilson, a founding member of Wilson Phillips, a television personality and the daughter of Brian Wilson, moderated the panel. Featured was June Millington, a Filipino-American guitarist, songwriter, producer, educator and actress who is the co-founder and lead guitarist of the storied all-female rock band Fanny; Akira Armstrong, the CEO of Pretty BIG Movement and a dancer and choreographer whose credits include Beyonce, Janet Jackson, Lizzo, Salt-N-Pepa, SWV and Jennifer Hudson; and Dr. Camila Dos Santos, who works at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in developing a targeted strategy for breast cancer treatment and prevention.

“I love the fact that they’re all in different fields,” said Wilson before introducing the panelists. “That they all are so passionate about what they do and if there’s anything I try to teach my kids, my daughters, it’s to find a passion, have a passion, don’t be afraid to feel passionate about something. Don’t ever be afraid to find a passion for something and go for what you feel in your heart.”

As the panel came to a close, empowering girls was not just talked about. Words were put into action. Five grants and two scholarships were distributed to students, and each of the winners were highlighted for their essays, achievements and goals.

Greek Festival Brings The Fun To Garvies Point JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

From June 16 to 19, Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Resurrection of Brookville brought fun, family and food to Garvies Point with a Greek Festival.

With parking in the Brewster Street or Pulaski Street Garage, a shuttle brought guests down to Garvies Point. Over looking the water, the carnival rides and midway was sure to light up the eyes of children.

Just a short walk through brought guests to vendors, selling many things from toys, paintings of scenes in Santorini, to bags, t-shirts and jewelry with the Evil Eye and

even fresh honey or pickles.

The smell of the fresh Greek food wafted over from the food tent and the King Souvlaki food trucks. On the menu were Greek favorites like Greek salads, Souvlaki Sticks and Spanakopita.

Those with a sweet tooth could be satisfied as well. The pastry tent had fresh Greek cookies, cakes and rice pudding, among other desserts.

Guests ate under the big tent while listening to live music.

Adjacent to the tent, many lined up to test their luck in the raffle, with prizes as high as a 2022 Nissan Altima S, or a $25,000 alternative.

“Until next year,” the Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Resurrection wrote on its Facebook page. “Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us.”

There were plenty of carnival rides for the young guests of the festival.

Faulkner: Enduring, Prevailing, Unvanquished tragedian. This comes hard for Americans, a people “unschooled in tragedy,” (Richard Weaver), a people where “a happy ending is our story” (Mary McCarthy). Faulkner had a sense of humor, breaking through in such stories as “Shingles For The Lord” or his final novel, The Reivers. There were his circumstances, also his thorough reading of the Old Testament and the works of William Shakespeare. Faulkner was drawn to the drama of life and with it, the drama of prose.

From “Red Leaves:”

his year, the twos have it. 2022. 2012.

2002. 1992. 1982. 1972. 1962. Stop right there. 1962? The Cuban Missile Crisis was the story of the year. Americans went to sleep on the evening of October 22 wondering if they would see the morning.

Two famous Americans didn’t see a new morning that year. A year earlier, in 1961, Ernest Hemingway died, victim of a self-inflicted gun shot wound. His great rival, William Faulkner, died on July 6, 1962, after suffering another drinking binge. Dies the literature, dies the nation?

Few, if anyone, will notice that this is the 60th anniversary of Faulkner’s passing.

However, there’s never a good time not to write about the man and his work. More has been published on Faulkner than any other writer in the English language, save another William, Shakespeare by name.

William Faulkner did have a brief New York connection. In his youth, he worked at a bookstore in Greenwich Village. His publishers were in the city. Faulkner polished up the ending to his 1929 classic, The Sound And The Fury while sitting cross-legged on a bed at a downtown hotel. He handed over the manuscript to his editor, remarking, “Here, read this. It’s a real son of a ----.” That it was.

With The Sound And The Fury, Faulkner began to hit his stride. His friendship with Sherwood Anderson proved decisive.

Anderson, who put small-town Ohio life on the map in a string of novels and stories, urged the young Faulkner to give up on the literary scene in New Orleans and instead, go back to northern Mississippi and zero in

William Faulkner receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature from King Gustav of Sweden. (Photo courtesy of Internet archive) on his “postage stamp.” Anderson added, also decisively, that there’s two things a man can never be: Ashamed of himself and where he came from.

For Faulkner, that was like falling off a log.

He grew up in the “front porch republic” that existed before World War II. In Faulkner’s day, Americans sat on the front porch and talked all night. Tall tales inevitably made their way back to the Civil War. The young Faulkner was fascinated by both his paternal and maternal grandfathers. His father was a bureaucrat laid low by the Depression. The grandfathers, however, were both veterans.

One of them even constructed a monument to himself, one that stands today in Ripley, Mississippi, north of Faulkner’s Lafayette County postage stamp.

As with writers of his generation, William Faulkner took the burden of history and placed it right on his shoulders. His world was different than those of say, Andrew Lytle, Caroline Gordon or Donald Davidson.

Mississippi still suffered from the war and reconstruction: Poverty, occupation, crippled veterans, widows clad in black, an intractable race situation. The man made the most of it.

William Faulkner is America’s great

Don’t you see? This whole land, the whole south is cursed, and all of us who derive from it, whom it ever suckled, white and black both, lie under the curse?

Or from “Delta Autumn:” ‘This Delta,’ he [Ike McCaslin] thought.

‘This Delta.’ This land, which man has deswamped and denuded and derivered in two generations so that white men can own plantations and commute every night to Memphis and black men can own plantations and even towns and keep their town houses in Chicago…where cotton is planted and grows man-tall in the very cracks in the sidewalks, where usury and mortgage and bankruptcy and measureless wealth, Chinese and African and Aryan and Jew, all breed and spawn together until no man has time to say which is which, or cares.

In 1950, the weight of the world did fall on his shoulders. Winning the Nobel Prize for Literature that year was an event. For years, such future Nobelists as Jorge Luis Borges and Jean-Paul Sartre sang Faulkner’s praises. Malcolm Cowley’s 1946 collection, The Portable Faulkner, put him back in the good graces of the critics, paving the way for the Nobel. In Stockholm, Faulkner displayed a different side, stunning a global audience with a

message of hope.

I decline to accept the end of man…

I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an exhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet’s… duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past.

The poet’s voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.

Novels, short stories, poetry, essays, reviews, speeches. Faulkner also spent much of the 1930s in Hollywood, writing film treatments for Warner Brothers.

Jack Warner even boasted, “I have the best writer in the world working for me for peanuts!” (In time, Faulkner would tell Warner what he could do with his “peanuts.”)

I’ll list two novels, Absalom, Absalom!

(1936) and the before-mentioned The Sound And The Fury, as representative of the man’s corpus. That, reader, will have to wait until next week.

In the meantime, keep in mind that Nassau County has the finest public library system in America.

Steve Berlin’s Fave Los Lobos Albums

“It was pretty crazy,” Berlin explained. “I thought the competition was formidable.

The guys didn’t go because they didn’t think they were going to win. I thought, what the hell, I had the weekend off and went to see what would happen. It was a

lovely surprise and that stuff never gets old.

People bitch and moan about the relevancy of the Grammys and to a certain extent, they’re not necessarily wrong. But it’s pretty fun.”

A true pandemic record, Native Sons was initially supposed to start recording

ven though saxophonist/producer Steve Berlin has been an official member of Los Lobos since 1984, he’s still the new guy in the band. That said, he’s been part of a wild ride that found the quintet without a label for the three-year stretch between 2016 and 2018 despite being a multi-platinum act with a deep canon and a 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination (we’re still waiting for induction).

The California quintet achieved redemption after signing with roots music-leaning imprint New West Records, which released 2021’s Native Sons and paid off via a Grammy for Best Americana Album. An album conceived at the height of the pandemic, its industry success came as quite a surprise to Berlin, who saw Lobos snag a 1983 Grammy for Best MexicanLos Lobos from left: Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, David Hidalgo, Louie Perez, Steve Berlin American Performance right (Photo by Piero F.

in November 2019, but between touring commitments and how the coronavirus slammed the brakes on the world in March 2020, actual recording didn’t begin until June. And that wound up being limited to recording one week a month out of an abundance of caution until vaccines became available. The result was an L.A.themed collection of covers (save for the title cut) that paid homage to the band’s myriad influences. Among the artists interpreted are Berlin’s old band The Blasters, War, Jackson Browne, Buffalo Springfield and more obscure artists including East L.A. garage band Thee Midniters and Chicano music icon Lalo Guerrero. But rather than the project being a hodgepodge of covers, Berlin pointed out how all the selections had meaning attached to them.

“I know that I had compiled a list of maybe 60 songs as a starter,” Berlin said. “It wasn’t like a Chinese restaurant, where we would pick and choose

End The Stigma On Mental Health I grew up as a sensitive kid.

So much so that when my elementary school gave out superlatives to graduating fifth-graders, the one I received was most self-aware.

Growing up, I viewed my sensitivity as a weakness, a clear marker that separated me from my peers and gave high stakes to any social interaction I happened to find myself in. I didn’t really understand why I felt so different from other kids my age. Most seemed to wade through childhood keeping their head above water, impervious to insults and not getting bogged down in their own self-image.

Middle school is when I had my first depressive episode.

It was the summer going into eighth grade,and I got blindsided by a special brew of anxiety for the future and a persistent inner critic that wouldn’t give me any time to myself. Another wrinkle added to my situation was that my anxiety made me sick to my stomach so I could not keep

down any food I ate.

This first dance in the waters of depression lasted about three weeks, which seems like the most minor of blips compared to the length of time I have been depressed since then. I have lost count of how many times depression has darkened my door. When my symptoms re-emerged, it was dispiriting because I convinced myself I was past it and would never

“regress” in that way.

Yet, I don’t regret any of it. It has made me stronger, surer of myself, and—most importantly to me—compassionate about other’s hardships. Through the trial of adversity, I decided to choose growth. Not that this was easy. My biggest hurdle was bypassing my own stubbornness. I had to take my experiences and view them as a chance to better myself instead of beating myself up over my perceived “weakness.”

Mental health awareness and ending stigma is very important to me. Not just because of my own exposure, but because of the many friends and family members I have seen affected by various mental health issues.

I continue to meet so many amazing and brilliant people who suffer internally because of something out of their control.

My experience and that of others made me curious about what mental health services were offered at my school, Farmingdale State College. I saw that there was

one-on-one counseling on campus, but there was a lack of specialized services or peer support groups. In spring of 2021, I was part of the Student Government Association (SGA) at Farmingdale, and each semester a Senator is required to present his/her own resolution with the goal of improving services for students on campus.

I couldn’t think of a better idea than to center my resolution on expanding the mental health services on campus.

There used to be more student resources for this, but the pandemic had limited those services and had yet to return in full force with options for the students. My resolution was aimed at addressing the addition of more support groups for students to discuss issues they were experiencing during the school year, and to cover a wider range of mental health concerns, such as social anxiety, depression, addiction and other mood disorders.

It got passed on the Senate floor, but it still took a while for the changes to be instituted.

Luckily, a fellow Senator helped things progress further this past fall by adding his own resolution calling for more mental health services, which in effect expanded upon my resolution.

This past spring, I saw fliers and even an electronic sign in front of campus advertising support groups for students, whether for anxiety, depression or other mental health issues.

There is always more to be done, but it is important that we fight to give those suffering a place where they feel they can be heard and that they are not alone.

HOME & DESIGN Prepared For Summer

A

s the approaching 10th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy reminds us of the effects weather can have on the electric system, PSEG Long Island is announcing that it is prepared for hurricane season and to meet peak demand during extreme heat situations this summer. The company’s ongoing electric infrastructure and storm hardening improvements help provide electric reliability to Long Island throughout the year.

PSEG Long Island has incorporated numerous enhancements and upgrades to the electric grid, its systems and its storm processes, including its contingency procedures.

Electric Infrastructure Improvements

Across Long Island and the Rockaways, PSEG Long Island has prepared the electric infrastructure by focusing on substation, and transmission and distribution improvements, as well as by performing circuit and equipment inspections using drones, helicopters and infrared technology.

Storm Hardening Programs Completed Do you have a love of history? This landmarked property at 63 Murray Ave. in Port Washington sold on June 15 for $1,400,000. Beautifully sited on a large 100’x120’ landscaped property with winter water views and lovingly maintained architectural details, this three bedroom and three bathroom home features a wrap-around porch, original wood floors, diamond sash windows and millwork. The charming entry foyer, inviting living room with gas fireplace and dramatic dining room are further enhanced by nine-foot ceilings and abundant natural light. Three spacious second floor bedrooms with eight-foot ceilings offer lovely views which share a full bathroom. An updated eat-in-kitchen was expanded to include a powder room and informal dining area. This property offers a lower level with outside entrance, utilities and laundry area. It is close proximity to the train station, waterfront, shops and restaurants. Beach and mooring rights are available with membership dues.

This custom built Colonial at 11 Guilford Rd. in Port Washington sold on June 16 for $2,200,000. It has been newly redesigned and meticulously updated to integrate high-end finishings with perfect functionality. It is a turn-key with four bedrooms and three bathrooms and delivers an ideal New Salem location, pleasing curb appeal and an inviting front porch. The attention to detail is evident upon entry: custom millwork, hardwood oak flooring, built-in foyer console and a chic powder room.

The dining room’s stunning custom bar with wine fridge is a showstopper. The open concept chef’s kitchen has every amenity, with a marble center island and quartz counters leading to the great room with shiplap walls, a new mantel and gas fireplace. Sliding doors overlook the backyard oasis with patios, gorgeous landscaping and salt water heated pool. On the second floor, the spacious primary suite boasts a large walk-in closet, tray ceiling and a luxurious spa bathroom with double vanities, freestanding tub and radiant heated floors. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath are also on the second floor. The two-car garage is attached. The home has a full basement and central air conditioning.

Since the implementation of the FEMA-funded storm-hardening program funded in 2014, PSEG Long Island has completed storm hardening and reliability work on more than 1,000 miles of distribution mainline circuits. The sections of circuits that are storm hardened saw a 44 percent reduction in damage leading to outages compared to the rest of the distribution system.

PSEG continues its storm hardening work with Power On, an initiative started in the spring of 2020 that will continue to improve reliability by strengthening distribution lines, targeting the most vulnerable circuits across Long Island. More than 190 miles of distribution mainline circuits have been storm hardened with stronger poles, thicker wire and other modern equipment.

Arborists work throughout the year to identify and trim tree limbs in rights of way and along easements that could potentially cause outages during or after a storm. PSEG has removed more than 88,500 hazardous trees and large limbs along the distribution and transmission system and trimmed more than 21,000 miles of distribution and transmission line clearance in accordance with the industry best practice clearance standard. This standard preserves the health of the tree and directs future growth away from power lines. A new vine mitigation program identified, cut and treated more than 14,000 vine locations across Long Island.

PSEG also prepares its dedicated workforce for summer by conducting annual hurricane and tropical storm drills and employee training; by developing emergency summer operating plans; and by performing summer-peak reliability analyses to ensure there is sufficient capacity to meet electric demand on high-heat days.

Living At Home With Dementia

T

he Alzheimer’s Association’s “2022 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures” report reveals that 6.5 million people in the U.S. are living with Alzheimer’s disease.

More than 10% of people aged 65 and older have Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia, including frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, vascular dementia, and combinations of dementia types.

“As their care needs increase, people with dementia may choose to live in a memory care facility,” Gregg Balbera, president of Right at Home Nassau Suffolk said. “Most prefer to remain in their own homes as long as possible, among familiar surroundings and their established support system.”

But, said Balbera, this requires care support, which often is provided by spouses, adult children or other family and friends.

Today, 11 million people are providing this care. They help loved ones with self-care, such as bathing, dressing and using the toilet. They pay bills and handle other paperwork. They coordinate their loved one’s medical care. They provide “emotional labor,” keeping their loved one’s spirits up and depression at bay while coping with personality and behavior changes caused by the disease.

While many caregivers say caring for their loved one is rewarding, dementia caregiving is hard work, both physically and emotionally. “It often affects the caregiver’s career, other family relationships, and their physical and cognitive health,” said Balbera. “And many family caregivers are at an age when they need care themselves.”

Professional in-home care allows family to take time off for their own needs, confident that their loved one is well cared for. “With the professional caregiver providing basic day-to-day care, the person with dementia and family are freed to spend their time together doing things they enjoy,” he said.

f there is one thing people look forward to as they approach their 65th year, it’s Medicare insurance for their healthcare needs. Medicare is a federally run health insurance program for people who are 65 years of age or have collected Social Security Disability for 24 months. It is also available for individuals with permanent kidney failure or Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

Unless you are already collecting Social Security, you will get your Medicare card automatically in the mail. If you are not yet collecting Social Security, you have to apply for Medicare during the three month period before your 65th birthday. You may apply for Medicare by calling the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 or online at: www.ssa.gov/medicare.

Medicare coverage can be confusing for the uninitiated, as there are various options. Choosing the right plan for you requires careful consideration.

These services include doctor visits, hospital outpatient services, lab tests; physical, speech or occupational therapy; and durable medical equipment for use in the home. The standard Part B premium amount in 2022 is $170.10. Most people pay the standard Part B premium amount. If your modified adjusted gross income as reported on your IRS tax return from 2 years ago is above a certain amount, you’ll pay the standard premium amount and an Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA). IRMAA is an extra charge added to your premium. Prescriptions are covered through Barry Klitsberg Medicare Part D when you elect Part B coverage.

Life Insurance Quotes For Seniors what affects the cost of premiums and compare different plans. Here’s how life insurance works and some types of policies that may be available to seniors.

How does life insurance for seniors work?

Life insurance for seniors provides loved ones with financial security when the policyholder passes away by paying out a sum of money called a

death benefit. Some policies also come with a cash value growth component that will accumulate over time. Once the policyholder has built up enough cash value, they can withdraw from it, borrow from it, or surrender the policy to receive the full amount minus surrender charges.

With any life insurance plan, policyholders have to pay monthly premiums to maintain their coverage.

Life insurance premiums for seniors can depend on many other factors, such as: • Insurer: Each insurer will offer different premiums.

• Policy terms: A higher death benefit and adding riders can increase costs.

• Gender: Men tend to pay slightly higher premiums than women, since women often live longer.

• Age: Life insurance tends to get more expensive with age, since an older policyholder is more likely to pass away while the policy is active.

• Family health history: Insurers consider the health history of both the policyholder and their family when calculating premiums.

• Smoker vs. nonsmoker: Smokers pay

more for life insurance than nonsmokers, all else held equal.

• Hobbies and lifestyle: Hobbies like skydiving, rock-climbing, and car racing may be considered risky, leading to higher premiums.

Types of life insurance for seniors

Here are two main types of life insurance policies that are available to seniors:

Final expense insurance Final expense insurance is a small whole life insurance policy designed to help a senior’s loved ones cover end-oflife costs, such as outstanding medical bills and funeral expenses. This life insurance policy typically comes with a smaller death benefit and lower premiums than standard whole life insurance policies. Final expense insurance also provides a cash value growth component that builds with each payment and grows at a fixed rate.

Final expense insurance policies generally don’t require a medical exam, making them an excellent option for seniors who might not qualify for other types of permanent life insurance policies.

To find the right life insurance quote for seniors, it’s important to understand

SENIOR LIFE • JUNE 29 - JULY 5, 2022

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Term life insurance Term life insurance provides policyholders with coverage for a defined time period, usually from 10 to 30 years. Since these plans don’t offer lifelong coverage, premiums tend to be much more affordable.

Term life policies offer higher death benefits than final expense insurance, but coverage ends when the policy term ends. This means seniors may have to get a new policy to maintain coverage.

—Fidelity Life

Seniors have several options for getting life insurance at a rate they can afford. Final expense insurance offers guaranteed lifetime coverage for end-of-life costs, low premiums, and a cash value component.

And term insurance lasts a limited time but offers a higher death benefit for relatively affordable premiums. Seniors should take their time to evaluate

Social Security Announces Benefit Increase For 2022 Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for approximately 70 million Americans have increased by 5.9 percent in 2022.

The 5.9 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) began with benefits payable to more than 64 million Social Security beneficiaries in January 2022. Increased payments to approximately eight million SSI beneficiaries have been distributed since December 2021. Some people receive both Social Security and SSI benefits. The Social Security Act ties the annual COLA to the increase in the Consumer Price Index as determined by the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Some other adjustments that take effect in January of each year are based on the increase in average wages. Based on that increase, the maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security tax (taxable maximum) will increase to $147,000 from $142,800.

People may create or access their My Social Security account online at www.socialsecurity.gov/ myaccount.

Information about Medicare changes for 2022 can be found online at www.medicare. gov.

For Social Security beneficiaries receiving Medicare, Social Security will not be able to compute their new benefit amount until after the Medicare premium amounts for 2022 are announced. Final benefit amounts are communicated to beneficiaries in December through the mailed COLA notice and My Social Security’s Message Center.

The Social Security Act provides for how the COLA is calculated. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/cola to read more.

Reasons People Life is a Journey Without Children Should Still Have Embrace An Estate Plan every day because every day P counts eople without children may think there’s no need to have an estate plan and/or will. This misconception can be especially true for married couples who believe the estate will easily transfer to a surviving spouse.

However, the truth is an estate plan can make life a lot simpler in the time leading up to and after someone passes away. Whether someone is married or not, here are four reasons why people without children still need an estate plan.

1

An Estate Plan Can Designate Healthcare and Legal Authority

An estate plan assigns decision-making authority for healthcare and legal decisions through critical documents like an advanced healthcare directive and power of attorney.

And those without children still need to define these decision-makers, whether it’s a spouse, friend, sibling, niece or nephew.

If someone falls ill, gets into an accident, or is otherwise incapacitated, their spouse or designated decision-maker needs the authority to make decisions on their behalf.

And failure to get the proper documents in place could mean receiving care that doesn’t align with someone’s wishes.

charities could benefit instead. That means assets like, taxable brokerage accounts, savings/checking accounts, CDs, etc. can directly benefit people or causes meaningful to the deceased.

Other accounts, such as retirement accounts, annuities and term life insurance policy death benefits are directed by their beneficiary designation, not a will. However, they can also be a key part of an estate plan as they avoid probate and can also avoid attorney’s fees. Updating beneficiaries should be done at the same time as keeping a will up to date.

3

An Estate Plan Outlines Who Will Care for Pets

An important consideration after someone passes away is what will happen to their furry loved ones. And for those without someone else at home to take over the responsibility, an estate plan is a perfect place to outline where pets will go and what, if any, financial support they’ll receive.

Failure to appoint where pets should go could mean they’ll be much worse off after their human is gone.

• Maintaining a relationship with a primary care provider is an important part of managing chronic conditions like hypertension that can lead to stroke.

• Quit smoking, which increases your risk of a stroke, disease, and death. Talk to your health care provider and health plan about resources that might be available to help you quit.

• Eat healthy foods, like those low in cholesterol and saturated fat, plus lots of fruits and vegetables If you know the signs and symptoms of a stroke and act quickly, it can mean the difference between life or death, major disability or a better quality of life. If you experience the sudden onset of any of these symptoms, seek medical care immediately: • Numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg—especially on one side of the body • Confusion or trouble speaking or understanding • Problems seeing in one eye or both eyes • Dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, or trouble walking • Severe headache with no known cause Every year strokes take a toll on far too many of us. Reducing the risks of this too-often devastating condition starts with educating ourselves about stroke and taking small steps to improve our overall wellbeing.

bout 795,000 people have a stroke every year, including thousands of people in New York, according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). The good news is up to 80 percent of strokes are preventable and if one occurs, it is possible to treat and recover if caught early.

Getting smarter about strokes is crucial as time is a major factor in preventing disability or death.

Understanding the symptoms of stroke and risk factors can help you get help fast and reduce your risks.

A stroke is a medical emergency caused by the interruption of the flow of blood to the brain as a result of a clot or internal bleeding. Our brains require a continuous supply of oxygen and nutrients. If blood flow stops, brain cells start to die in just a few minutes.

Because of this, a stroke can have a serious impact on many functions of your body, including speech, respiration, movement, cognition, and bladder control. Strokes reduce mobility in more than half of stroke survivors 65 and over. In fact, stroke causes more serious long-term disabilities than any other disease, according to the National Institute on Aging.

Individuals who survive strokes often need physical, speech, occupational therapy and other medical care.

Older adults are at an increased risk of having a stroke. However, there are several ways you can help reduce those risks, including: • Make exercise part of your daily routine. Many people don’t know that many Medicare Advantage health plans include fitness benefits. For example, UnitedHealthcare’s Renew Active program

Report Finds Challenges Understanding Alzheimer’s Development

T

he Alzheimer’s Association 2022 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report found challenges faced by both doctors and the American public in understanding and diagnosing mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It is estimated that 10 to 15 percent of people with MCI—an early stage of memory or other cognitive loss—go on to develop dementia each year.

The 2022 Facts and Figures report provides an in-depth look at the latest national statistics on Alzheimer’s disease prevalence, incidence, mortality, costs of care and impact on caregivers along with a new section on the dementia care workforce.

An accompanying special report, “More than Normal Aging: Understanding Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI),” for the first time examined both public and primary care physicians’ understanding of real-world awareness, diagnosis and treatment of MCI and MCI due to Alzheimer’s disease in the United States.

“Mild cognitive impairment is often confused with ‘normal aging,’ but is not part of the typical aging process,” said Maria Carrillo, Ph.D., chief science officer, Alzheimer’s Association.

“Distinguishing between cognitive issues resulting from normal aging, those associated with MCI and those related to MCI due to Alzheimer’s disease is critical in helping individuals, their families and physicians prepare for future treatment and care.”

New disease-related statistics for New York revealed the following: • Number of New York residents aged 65 and older living with Alzheimer’s: 410,000 • Estimated number of New York residents living with Alzheimer’s in 2025: 460,000 • Percentage change: 12.2 percent • Number of New York residents serving as unpaid family caregivers: 563,000 • Total hours of unpaid care provided: 835,000,000 “The new Facts and Figures report shows the impact of Alzheimer’s on families here in Long Island and across the entire nation,” Douglas E. Davidson, executive director of the Alzheimer’s Association, Long Island Chapter, said. “In Nassau and Suffolk counties, the Alzheimer’s Association is supporting the community with education to help people understand and recognize early signs and symptoms and with programs to help caregivers and people living with the disease.”

MCI common but still unknown

It is estimated 12-to18 percent of people age 60 or older have MCI. While some with MCI will remain stable or revert to normal, up to 15 percent go on to develop dementia each year. Identifying which people with MCI are more likely to develop dementia is a major goal of current research, potentially enabling earlier disease intervention and treatment.

Despite the prevalence among aging Americans, the new report found more than four out of five Americans (82 percent) know very little or are not familiar with MCI. When prompted with a description of MCI, more than half (55 percent) say MCI sounds like “normal aging.”

Importance of early intervention

Of survey respondents who wanted to learn about Alzheimer’s disease during the MCI phase, more than half (70 percent) noted the need for planning and opportunities for treatment. Early diagnosis gives families time to make legal, financial and care decisions for the future, based on a patient’s concerns and priorities, and is associated with lower overall health care costs.

The vast majority of primary care physicians (86 percent) said early intervention can slow progression of cognitive decline.

Only one out of five physicians report being familiar with clinical trials available to their

patients with MCI, and only one out of four say they are familiar with new therapies in the pipeline to address MCI due to Alzheimer’s disease. When MCI is detected, primary care physicians most often recommend lifestyle changes.

Future outlook and opportunities

The last two decades have marked an increase in the development of a new class of medicines that target the underlying biology and aim to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. As of February 2022, there are 104 disease-modifying treatments being evaluated in clinical trials or at various stages of regulatory approval. These potential therapies are aimed at slowing the progression of MCI due to Alzheimer’s disease and mild Alzheimer’s dementia, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Workplace shortages

This year’s report also includes a new section on dementia care workforce. Most states will have to nearly triple the number of geriatricians who were practicing in 2021 to effectively care for the number people projected to have Alzheimer’s dementia in 2050. Most states will need to double the number of home health and personal care aides.

• In New York, there are approximately 568 geriatricians. By 2050, 44 percent more are needed to meet the needs of people projected to have Alzheimer’s.

• New York had 437,300 home health and personal care aides in 2018. That number will need to increase by 60.6 percent to meet demand by 2028.

LOS LOBOS from page 4A from that list. The list was an inspiration.

As we went along, one song would remind us of another song. The songs had to mean something to somebody in the band and especially if it was something someone in the band felt passionate about.”

With such a long and storied canon, Berlin shared what Los Lobos projects resonated most with him. ...And a Time to Dance (1983) “The first one [was pretty seminal] because it was the first one. And I wasn’t even part of that. I wasn’t even in the band. I was in The Blasters. I was producing it. That record was made while I was transitioning into being a full-time member.”

How Will the Wolf Survive? (1984) “Making How Will the Wolf Survive?

was profound because it was our first real record. We’d won a Grammy for that EP [...

And a Time to Dance], so we were on the radar. We had risen up the food chain, if you will. We were not brand-new anymore, were doing well on the road and making a little bit of money. Things were certainly looking up. We were on Warner Brothers, so we knew we had to step up a little bit.

We had a ball doing it. We didn’t feel much pressure, but we knew we had to do a great job. That was a big one.”

Kiko (1992) “We were concerned that we were going to be dropped by our label because the [prior] record [The Neighborhood] didn’t do well.

Long story short, we had to make a new record and we were pissed off at ourselves, the world and the music business. We did what we wanted to do and the way we wanted

to do it. We were all in a very experimental mood and [engineer Tchad Blake] was the main mad scientist. We would do something and he would do his thing and it would sound awesome. Any dumb idea sounded so great with whatever he was doing to it.

He made everything work. A lot of times in the studio you’ll go down a road and then decide to rethink something. I don’t remember that ever happening because we never took a step back. We always just kept going forward. It was always cool and we just decided to keep going. It was really just joyous and fun. Making Kiko was tons of fun.

If we’re enjoying ourselves, more often than not, it’s going to translate to the music. That was really fun.”

The Ride (2004) “We did The Ride, which we produced ourselves and that was amazing. The Ride and the Super Seven records were similar

because we were making records with people that we respected and people that had powerfully influenced us, like Tom Waits, Richard Thompson, Mavis Staples and Bobby Womack. It was just sort of taking what we had learned on the way to making records and bringing people into our world or going into their world. The Ride and Super Seven records were fun because we got to see how our culture interacted with other people’s cultures. We certainly liked the culture that we had cultivated and it was pretty wacky and daring.”

Los Lobos will be appearing with the Tedeschi Trucks Band on July 10 at the Great South Bay Music Festival, Shorefront Park, Patchogue. Visit www.greatsouthbaymusicfestival.com for more information. Visit www.longislandweekly.com for a longer story on Los Lobos.

ong Island Orchestrating for Nature (LION), the leading animal advocacy organization on Long Island, has named Animal General of East Norwich its “2021 Veterinarian of the Year” for the animal hospital’s tremendous efforts and dedication to providing free and low-cost veterinary care to wildlife and domestic fowl rescued from cruelty, complete with a plaque featuring a chicken and a plant-based care package from Cindysnacks Vegan Market.

“Whether we are asking them to carefully remove duct-tape from a goose who was strapped with fireworks, amputate the wing of a chicken maimed by animal sacrifice, bring back to life ailing birds saved from live slaughter markets, or treat animals suffering from years of neglect at Long Island petting zoos, we know that our rescues are in good hands when we bring them to Animal General for an appointment” John Di Leonardo, an anthrozoologist and president of LION said.

VCA Animal General of East Norwich serves as the primary veterinarian for LION’s domestic fowl rescues, and Dr. Ellen Leonhardt, the practice’s medical director, as well as staff veterinarian Dr. Danielle Perrone, serve on the advisory board of Volunteers for Wildlife, a local wildlife rehabilitation organization.

“VCA Animal General of East Norwich is proud of our on-going collaborative efforts, working alongside John Di Leonardo, Long Island Orchestrating for Nature (LION) and numerous other wildlife rescue groups within our community,” Dr. Leonhardt said.

“We pride ourselves in helping the

Vet Of The Year underserved, moving towards a healthier and safer environment for these delicate creatures, each deserving individualized care, attention and veterinary medical expertise.”

Among its notable victories, LION successfully opposed the expansion of SeaQuest Aquariums’ sordid mall aquarium chain into Oyster Bay in 2019, recently saved the lives of tens of thousands of animals over the course of just one week in Huntington, and has rescued hundreds of ducks, chickens and peafowl abandoned in Oyster Bay since 2016. LION previously recognized another Oyster Bay veterinary practice—Massapequa Pet Vet— with its Veterinarian of the Year award in 2018.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is a wealth of knowledge that happens at a deeper level than the one where words and explanations exist. You may feel more confident and articulate when you can explain what you know, and this is worth working on, but in the meantime your intuitive leanings shouldn’t be discounted. Act on instinct.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Pride goeth before the fall, but your definition of pride will matter here. Letting people know what you do isn’t about pride but usefulness. The process goes better when they trust you, so your credentials matter. Explaining your expertise isn’t bragging; it’s making the process easier for all.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Even favorable circumstances, fortuitous opportunities and wonderful events can come with their own kind of stress. Fun requires you to be in top condition! As you rest and take excellent care of yourself this week, you’ll also be helping yourself enjoy what’s coming.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Perhaps the world “flirt” is too reductive to describe your interaction style, which has more to do with stirring up good vibes than it does with any social agenda. Nonetheless, someone thinks you’re flirting with them and loves it. Business will be friendly, and a friendship will lend itself to doing business, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Even if you do what everyone else is doing, your expression, experience and thoughts about it will be unique, as your mind is a filter unlike any other.

NORTH ♠K62 ♥9 8 5 ♦ A K 10 ♣9 7 4 2 WEST EAST ♠8 ♠ Q J 10 9 4 3 ♥J 6 2 ♥A ♦87543 ♦QJ9 ♣ 10 6 5 3 ♣K Q J SOUTH ♠A75 ♥ K Q 10 7 4 3 ♦62 ♣A 8 The bidding: East South West North 1♠ 2♥ Pass 3♥ 3♠ 4♥ Opening lead — eight of spades.

Declarer frequently has a choice of whether to win a trick in his own hand or in dummy. Obviously, no uniform rule can be applied to these situations — the right play depends strictly on the circumstances.

Consider the present case, where West led a spade that South could win in either hand. His potential losers were a spade, a club and either one or two hearts. It was clear that he could hold himself to one trump loser by leading a trump from dummy toward his K-Q-10,

since the bidding had marked East with the ace.

So declarer took the opening spade lead with dummy’s king in order to lead a trump. But when East won with the ace and returned the queen of spades, South was in trouble. He played the ace, trumped

by West, and declarer later lost a club and a spade and went down one.

South was certainly right in thinking that the first trump lead should come from dummy. But since it was almost certain from the bidding that East had six spades and West only one, declarer should have chosen his entries more carefully.

To protect against a 6-1 spade division, South should have won the spade lead in his hand, led a diamond to dummy’s king and then led a trump. East would win and return a spade, but this would no longer pose a threat.

West could ruff, but in that case dummy would play low, and South would lose only the ace of hearts, a club and a spade ruff. And if West did not ruff the spade return, dummy’s king would win, and South’s only losers would be a spade, a heart and a club.

Declarer’s choice of where to take the first trick made all the difference between winning and losing the contract.

Friends of the Bay Talks Balloons

id you know that balloons are one of the most frequently found items at beach cleanups and by boaters?

What goes up must come down. Every helium-filled balloon released into the air returns to the ground or the sea to become litter.

Every part of the balloon, from the latex or mylar to the ribbon, can be harmful to wildlife. Even so-called biodegradable balloons are not truly biodegradable and will only break apart into smaller pieces that can be ingested by animals.

An animal can easily choke on a balloon or pieces of it can become lodged in its digestive system, preventing it from processing food. It’s easy enough for a human to mistake a balloon floating in the water

for a jellyfish, so you can imagine how a hungry turtle can mistake a balloon for its next meal.

Furthermore, animals, especially birds, can become entangled in the ribbons that are attached to balloons.

Suffolk County and numerous states and municipalities have banned the intentional release of balloons into the atmosphere.

There is currently a bill pending in the New York State Legislature to ban the intentional release of any helium or lighter than air balloons starting in January of 2023.

Choose bubbles or some other safe way to celebrate. The waterways and the animals who live there will thank you for it.

An innocent balloon can become a hazard, and an eyesore, in the natural environment.

Fatal Accident In Brookville

According to detectives, a 21-year-old female was operating a 2017 Ford sedan northbound on Cedar Swamp Road when she lost control of the vehicle causing it to flip over and strike a telephone pole causing a hazardous condition with the wires down. Within a few minutes, a 33-year-old man operating a 2006 Honda motorcycle northbound on Cedar Swamp Road became entangled in the wires causing him to fall off his motorcycle. The male victim, 33, was pronounced at the scene by a Nassau

County Police Medic.

Responding Officers observed the female driver to have slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and an odor of alcohol emanated from her breath. She was placed under arrest without incident and was transported to a local area hospital for treatment of her injuries.

The female driver is charged with DWI and vehicular manslaughter.

The investigation is ongoing.

Gribbin Students Have A Ball With The Rough Riders At Field Day Gribbin Elementary School students jumped, ran and skipped through a series of obstacle courses and athletic challenges alongside their physical education teachers and the stars of the Long Island Rough Riders soccer team during the school’s annual field day celebration.

The warm spring weather provided the perfect backdrop for the festive event as it came back in its entirety, with the soccer stars as partners, for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic. Parents volunteered and watched as students demonstrated the skills they’ve acquired in physical education classes throughout the year. “We have relay races, skill-based challenges, soccer lessons and a ton of other fun activities. The kids always enjoy it and the parents are awesome volunteers.

It’s definitely a fun and exciting way for the students to showcase what we’ve taught them all year,” said Andres Sican Orellana, a physical education teacher who helped run the event with physical education teacher Mark Checola.

Orellana is also a Gribbin alumnus who

As we continue to pay our respect to his family during this difficult time, we understand that this is extremely difficult news for many of us throughout the district. As more information becomes available, we will communicate it to you.

We conclude with meaningful words from Ed Melnick below:

‘I encourage you to continue to face the important challenges that come your way.

Remember not to rush to judgment, but rather, look beneath the surface, ask important questions and search for creative solutions.

You are now and will remain an important thread in the fabric of our schools...’

education class favorite, led by Checola, was the rainbow parachute. Students shook the parachute up and down, created a tent out of it and sat inside and turned it into a “popcorn” maker by filling it with balls and flinging them into the air.

“Gribbin’s field day is always a successful event that the kids, parents and staff all enjoy. It gives the students a day of activities in the sun, while helping them engage in healthy exercises. The Rough Riders are amazing partners and great at getting the kids excited to participate,” Gribbin Principal Francine Santoro said.

The Long Island Rough Riders is a United Soccer League team founded in 1994 and renowned for developing players who’ve gone on to join the US National Team, US Olympic Team and Major League Soccer teams. The Rough Riders also runs a summer camp in July and August for children of all skill levels from ages 5 to 14.

Katz Women’s Surgical Center To Break Ground At Glen Cove Hospital

eaders from Northwell Health, Glen Cove Hospital and the community gathered at a groundbreaking ceremony on June 14 to thank benefactors Iris and Saul Katz for their transformational gift toward building the Katz Women’s Surgical Center at Glen Cove Hospital.

The new surgical center will be focused on creating a destination that provides state-of-the-art surgery for women and thoughtful patient-centered care. The center is designed to support women in addressing their unique physical and psychological needs throughout the surgical journey. The estimated $10 million, 25,000-square-foot project includes a separate entrance with an expected opening in late 2024. Developed in partnership with the Northwell’s Katz Institute for Women’s Health (KIWH), the new women’s surgical center includes up to 32 private recovery and care bays. This stylish, modern facility will provide patients with a setting that is tranquil and welcoming, coupled with concierge-level service.

The Katzes, who have lived in Glen Cove for more than 50 years, have raised three children and have eight grandchildren. “We have visited the hospital so many times – we are glad to have such an excellent and continually evolving hospital in our backyard,” the couple said. “We are delighted to support the new women’s surgical center, which will provide comprehensive care to meet women’s specific surgical needs as well as provide emotional support for patients in the region and beyond.”

For nearly 40 years, Saul Katz has been deeply invested in the strength, growth and vitality not only of Glen Cove Hospital, but of Northwell Health. He is a member

and past chairman of Northwell’s board of trustees and served as a trustee at Glen Cove Hospital.

Recognizing disparities in health care for women and men, the Katzes together founded KIWH 14 years ago and endowed the institute with an additional gift in 2020. Mrs. Katz was the champion behind creating the KIWH. “Women are so different. Our bodies are different and so are our hearts and lungs,” she said. “We were understudied, undertreated and misdiagnosed. Women must be taken care of differently. Women deserve more.”

Patients will be escorted by a staff member to services at every point in their care, highlighted by specialized nurse navigators.

Private patient parking also will be available. A separate entrance will be created so women and their loved ones will have access to a dedicated reception area and

well-appointed lounge.

The center offers the latest surgical treatments utilizing robotic and minimally invasive approaches to surgery. Comprehensive services for breast cancer, reconstructive and cosmetic breast surgeries, including preventative mastectomy, are also available. Advanced robot-assisted surgery for mastectomy and breast reconstruction, including a flap procedure which uses a women’s own tissue, or implant-based reconstruction are offered. Also provided will be surgery for gynecological, urological and thyroid and parathyroid gland disease, as well as procedures for skin cancer.

“This women’s surgical center is the first of its kind for Northwell and the region, and we are designing a model of care that could serve as a national destination,” said Neil Tanna, MD, vice president of the Katz Women’s Surgical Center at Glen Cove Hos-

pital. “The program is multidisciplinary, yet integrated with a team of experts who provide the highest quality, patient-centered, female-focused surgical care.”

The Katzes’ generous gift is recognized as part of their larger vision for the KIWH and the ongoing transformation of women’s health across the health system.

“When you look across the county, there are very few separate centers of excellence for women’s surgery,” said Kerri Anne Scanlon, RN, executive director of Glen Cove Hospital. “The Katz Women’s Surgical Center will be a fully integrated destination, providing excellent surgical and medical care, coupled with superb service under one roof. This entire project is so meaningful to the community and personal for the Katz family. This is their hospital, and a gift of this magnitude means everything to Glen Cove.

We will forever be grateful for Iris and Saul’s tremendous generosity and kindness, and their desire to advance care for women.”

Together, the Katzes have made it their mission to support women’s health at every age and stage. In addition to creating the Katz Institute for Women’s Health, their longtime philanthropy made it possible to build the Katz Women’s Hospital at Long Island Jewish Medical Center and the Katz Women’s Hospital at North Shore University Hospital.

“We believe that we are in a movement,” Iris Katz said. “As New York’s largest health system, whatever Northwell does, others will follow our lead.” Katz added, “We believe others will see what we’re doing to tailor health care for women’s needs. This center is going to be the showcase for others to follow…this is just the beginning.”

Honor Flight Gala Guest Stars Former Marine & Nassau County Poet Laureate Evelyn Kandel Gala fundraiser supports resumption of biannual flights to Washington D.C. Honor Flight Long Island, the iconic volunteer-run veterans’ organization, will host a gala fundraiser to support their resumption of flight operations after two years of pandemic related restrictions.

The gala features guest of honor and Glen Cove native Evelyn Kandel, the noted Nassau County Poet Laureate (2019-2022) and former United States Marine Corps Sergeant (1951-53).

Honor Flight Long Island’s (HFLI) mission is to honor veterans by providing free, one-day flights so local aging heroes can visit their D.C. memorials before it is too late. Named after Evelyn

Kandel’s famous poem—“Listen To The Wind”—the gala’s strategic objective is to raise needed funds. The event takes place July 16 at 5 p.m. at Sagaponack Farm Distillery, 369 Sagg Rd. in Sagaponack.

“Our urgent call to patriotic Long Islanders is to help Honor Flight strengthen our mission going forward,” HFLI board member William Donahue said.

“Honor Flight gives our veterans opportunities to contemplate their military memorials, commiserate with fellow veterans and exchange personal stories.

No one else does this. These flights are

a ‘Big Hug’ to veterans from our supporters and volunteers who make it all happen.”

After graduating high school, Kandel was one of the first women to enlist in the USMC. She served in public relations as spokeswoman for Women Marines in Washington D.C. and with USMC recruiters in California. She was a poster model and a commemorative stamp model for service recruitment. After discharge, she received a Master’s Degree from Columbia University on the GI bill. She married, raised a family, became a teacher and is a noted artist and poet.
