More Green For The Black

BY FRANK RIZZO

I

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

n the hallways of power in the state capitol, there are interest groups for every type of cause.

Strangely, no one advocates for the roads.

That was one revelation at a press conference called on May 28 to tout a sharp increase in road paving funds in the fiscal year 2022 state budget. In the parking lot of St. Brigid/Our Lady of Hope School in Westbury, County Executive Laura Curran and state Senator Tim Kennedy of Buffalo were joined by Long Island Democratic senators Anna Kaplan, Kevin Thomas, James Gaughran and Todd Kaminsky.

It was Kaminsky who noted that, “In Albany, there are lots of special interests who lobby for particular funding for something. There is really no road interests. It’s up to us to battle for that,” and went on to give Kennedy—the chair of the Senate Transportation Committee—plaudits for advocating for record increases in funding.

“No matter who you are or where you live, there’s one thing that unites all New Yorkers together—we all

common goal. “Because of collaboration we were able to secure a record amount of funding for Long Islanders.

We secured over one-third of a billion more for roads than what was put in the executive budget and almost $285 million more than we had just last year alone.”

After detailing more examples of funding increases he said, “This is the beautiful thing: this is the new baseline of funding that Nassau County and all the [municipalities] on State Senator Anna Kaplan, in hard hat, talks to colleague Long Island are going to be Tim Kennedy of Buffalo before the press conference.

Our constituents will know that their tax dollars are making a difference and that Albany is delivering for them.”

Public’s Not Shy

This interactive map shows whose jurisdiction each road in Nassau County is under. It can be accessed via www.nassaucountyny.gov/myroads. (Screenshot)

“Once roads are repaved, how long are they supposed to last until they need to be repaved again?” a reporter asked.

Nassau County Department of Public Works Commissioner Ken Arnold said the time frame was 10 to 12 years.

“How will it be determined what roads are paved first?”

Curran was asked. “[The county] is responsible for most of the main arterial roads in the county and we have a whole phased strategy

of repaving based on need,” she replied. “When I first got into office, infrastructure had been neglected. That is why we’ve been so aggressive. In 2019, I believe we did 212 lane miles and we’re responsible for about 1,500 lane miles, so that’s about one-seventh of all lane miles. Last year, we did about 172 lane miles. This year, with the pandemic, I’ve asked the team to get to 150. That was the goal last year. Perhaps they’ll surpass it again.”

She added, “It’s prioritized.

It happens in phases. And we map it all out years and years in advance.”

In a world that is sometimes feeling more and more divided, there is one thing that literally unites us. And that is our roads. We all use them. We all need them.

—County Executive Laura Curran

In response to another question the county executive stated to laughter that the public is not shy about requesting roads to be fixed.

Added Curran, “People are confused in Nassau because we have such a confusing patchwork of municipalities.

Is it a town road, is it a village road? We have a website, www. nassaucountyny.gov/myroads It’s interactive. You can click on a road and it will tell you who it belongs to and who to all if you have any issues.”

Gaughran pointed out that there were some communities in his district—which spans both counties—whose roads hadn’t been paved for 30 or 40 years or more.

“Many of these communities don’t have the money. So this is vital,” he said.

Bral, Trustees Are Unchallenged

BY ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF editorial@antonmediagroup.com

V

illage of Great Neck Mayor Pedram Bral will have the easiest of paths to reelection this year—he is running unopposed. So are trustees Annie Mendelson and Steven Hope. All are campaigning under the Village Alliance Party line. Election Day is June 15.

Bral, 51, who emigrated from Iran in his teens, upended four-term Mayor Ralph Kreitzman in 2015. It is believed that about a quarter of Great Neck’s 10,000 residents are of Iranian (or Persian) extraction, many originally coming after the overthrown of the Shah in 1979. The vast majority, like Bral, are Jewish. Bral has won two contested elections since first winning office.

The mayor has presided over the switching of the public lighting system to LED lights—reportedly saving the village about $100,000 per year—and the reduction of a structural deficit he inherited. Last March, as the pandemic gained strength, he declared a state of emergency in the village, prohibiting outdoor gatherings.

He has led the move to sell the aging village hall to the Great Neck School

From left: Trustee Anne Mendelson, Mayor Pedram Bral and Trustee Steven Hope will run unopposed this election cycle. (File photo) District and the board is now mulling a number of proposals for a new village hall at a property the village bought on Middle Country Road.

Bral’s bio lists him as “Director of Minimally Invasive Robotic Gynecologic Surgery, a division he developed when he joined Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn.” In a candidate statement before the 2019 election he claimed that he “brought new, vibrant businesses into the commercial district on Middle Neck Road and made the village government more accessible

and responsive to its residents.”

Mendelson, first elected in 2015, serves on the Architectural Review Committee and is a representative to the Manhasset Bay Protection Committee. According to her 2019 candidate’s statement, she “works as a software product manager for Refinitiv, formerly Thomson Reuters. She had previously worked in the defense and software industries, before getting her teaching certificate in 2003. She then taught math at Great Neck North High until 2013.” She emphasizes improving

the quality of life in the village.

Hope was appointed by Bral in 2017 to replace then Deputy Mayor Ray Plakstis Jr., who resigned for health reasons. Hope moved with his family from South Africa as a young man and developed a love of the village’s parks and schools, with his three children making their way through the school system. A property manager, he “oversees office buildings, retail and multi­ family dwellings. Previously, he worked for Sy Luba HVAC in Great Neck and an electrical contractor. As a property manager, he uses his expertise to advise the board of trustees in issues related to construction and the improvement of the village business district.”

Village Justice Mark Birnbaum, in office since 2013, is defending his four-year seat against David Kirsch.

Birnbaum served as a village trustee from 2002-13 and was commissioner of the Great Neck Senior Housing Authority and chairman of the Great Neck Village BZA. Kirsch has been the managing partner at his own practice.

A former assistant district attorney in The Bronx, his profile states that he specializes in criminal defense law and estate planning, among others.

Plainview Honors Portledge School Set For Expansion Charles Wang The Nassau County Local Economic Assistance Corporation (LEAC) has approved the issuance of tax-exempt bonds for the Portledge School in Locust Valley.

This low-cost financing option will enable the school to make the most of its planned $12 million investment to expand and create a 20,000 square-foot addition to the school’s west campus that will serve as the institution’s athletic and wellness center.

“LEAC’s ability to provide favorable financing terms

for institutions such as the Portledge School allows them to maximize their investment, which ultimately benefits the students,” said Nassau LEAC Chairman Richard Kessel.

The construction of the 20,000 square-foot athletic and wellness center addition is projected to be complete within one year of the initial groundbreaking, which is slated for Spring of 2021.

The construction of this new facility will also increase the amount of classroom space, providing the school with an opportunity to

service more students. In addition, improvements will also be made to the parking area which will improve traffic and pedestrian safety.

“Portledge School has always prided itself on its ability to provide students, from all races, ethnicities and backgrounds with a quality education as well as extracurricular programs and ancillary resources that best prepare them for life post-secondary school,” said Simon Owen-Williams, Head of School.

Delores Quintyne Honored By Farmingdale State College

armingdale State College (FSC) recently announced that it will rename one of its original campus buildings in honor of Delores Y. Quintyne, a community activist and civil rights pioneer in the Town of Babylon and across Long Island. Conklin Hall—a center for student activities—will become Delores Y. Quintyne Hall at a campus ceremony scheduled for June 15.

“This is a great honor and one that completely surprised me,” Quintyne said. “Thank You. This is really special. I never thought of myself as deserving of such an honor. I am humbled by this recognition. I am proud and grateful because this recognition demonstrates that my life’s work has made an impact. I have tried to work hard so that others might thrive and excel.

As the great John Lewis said, ‘Get in Good Trouble’, which is what I did. I’m truly blessed and honored.”

FSC President John Nader explained the decision that led to the renaming.

“When the college embraced the idea of naming a campus building in honor of a local activist and civil rights leader, Delores was a clear and inspiring choice,” he said. “Her legacy should never be forgotten. The college is honored to recognize Ms. Quintyne for her tireless and effective advocacy for equality and justice.”

Quintyne has been a resident of Amityville for almost 60 years. She has been a civic leader and a trailblazer for civil rights. Her achievements include calling attention to, and ultimately improving, the deplorable living conditions of migrant workers at Long

Nader and College Council Chair Patricia Hill Williams began conversations about the rededication of the building more than a year ago. State University of New York leadership embraced the idea. Chancellor Jim Malatras stated, “Ms. Quintyne’s story is an inspirational one, and her activism is deserved of being celebrated for all who step foot on your campus to see.”

NYU Langone Looks To Expand

BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

N

YU Langone-Long Island is looking to expand its campus and went before the village board in late April to unveil its plans for a new parking garage to be constructed. The discussion between the board, which asked a variety of important questions such as traffic, the true integrity of the existing parking garage and more, spilled over into another public hearing that happened on May 19.

According to NYU Langone, the new visitor parking garage would be at the intersection of Third Avenue and First Street with three below grade parking levels and five above ground levels.

The new parking garage would, in fact, replace the existing visitor garage.

The hospital is not only looking to demolish the existing parking garage, but are also looking to demolish the professional residence building.

The new garage would be self-service and available to visitors 24-hours a day, seven days a week. The garage will connect to the hospital allowing people to directly walk inside. Employees who work at the professional residence building are being relocated to off-site areas and offices where their work will be decanted to other locations.

“NYU is planning very significant improvements to the campus that are designed to improve patient care and provide the latest facilities available in the health care world that would be

able to benefit the community in the long run, improve patient care, and establish and reenforce NYU’s identity in the community and in Mineola as an academic medical center,” said lawyer Michael Sahn, who represented NYU Langone.

Sahn added that the existing parking garage has outlived its useful lifespan stating that it’s been around for the past 47 years.

“The new garage will be a state-ofthe-art type of garage built according to current code in terms of handicapped access and spaces, fire codes and the like,” he said. “If the board sees its way to approve the project, there will be an increase of 134 net spaces on the campus equaling 700 spots.”

NYU Langone expects a 26-month construction period with plans in place for traffic mitigation while the garage is being built.

“The proposed garage is 60-feet in height compared to a permitted 50-feet,” Sahn said. “There is a small area on the roof of the garage that goes up to 75-feet for a bulkhead for the elevator overrun. The other variance request is with respect to the size of the parking stalls in the garage where we are proposing stall sizes that are less than required by the code.”

The hospital already went before the village’s Board of Appeals about the variances, which is still pending.

Daniel Winkelman, who is a traffic and parking expert, said that there will also be a second access point to the

new parking garage on Second Street and Third Avenue.

“In regards to my traffic and parking study, this is simply a replacement garage,” Winkelman said. “It’s not going to increase the amount of traffic.

What it will do is attract more traffic to it because it has increased capacity. My analyses did account for that. One important thing I would like to mention, all traffic data and all of my parking data was collected pre-COVID.” Based on his analysis, the intersections of Mineola Boulevard and First Street, and Mineola Boulevard and Second Street would still be expected to operate the way they do today.

During the board’s questioning, NYU Langone representatives confirmed that there would be a period of six months where there would be no parking garage at all between the demolition and construction phases.

“When you talk about construction workers parking at 211 Station Road they are going to use the current pedestrian bridge from the Intermodal center and I guess in time, the [Harrison Avenue] garage?,” Mayor Scott Strauss asked.

Winkelman confirmed.

“We currently have a problem with the third track crew,” Strauss added.

“They just park wherever they think they can and take up handicap spots.

They’re not the best people to work with. What guarantees can you provide us, our residents, and business owners that your workers are not going to take

parking spots away from people?”

Winkelman said he’d have to get back to the board on that request.

Residents also spoke and gave their thoughts about NYU Langone’s new construction plan—stating that the area is already congested as it is.

“I think the parking garage at Harrison and Third Avenue, and this one will certainly alleviate some of that driving around looking for parking spaces,” Strauss said. “These vehicles, in my opinion, are here already.

They’re driving around endlessly looking for parking spaces that don’t exist, hoping to find someone pulling out in front of somebody’s house so that they could sneak in there.

Hopefully, this parking garage will alleviate some of that congestion and constant traffic. Our concern of how to do it and whether that garage needs to come down at the same time.”

On May 19, the hearing continued when NYU Langone returned with an altered plan. The main difference was the construction timetable change.

NYU Langone proposed completing construction on a new parking garage before tearing down the existing parking structure. The two structures are on separate parcels, so they’re not building on the site of the current parking garage. The village board reserved decision for a later time.

GARDEN CITY MAYOR UPDATE

Remembering The Fallen Under the auspices of William Bradford Turner Post 265, Memorial Day ceremonies returned to the Seventh Street War Memorial this year. Despite the unpredictable weather, residents gathered on Monday, May 31 to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Post Commander Frank Tauches, Jr. welcomed all those in attendance.

Mayor Cosmo Veneziale attended the ceremony, along with trustees Colleen Foley, Mary Carter Flanagan and Tom O’Brien. The mayor thanked Commander Tauches for his service to country and Garden City.

“Memorial Day is not the start of summer,” Veneziale said. “Memorial Day is a day to remember, respect and reflect on all who served our country and lost their lives in defense of our nation. We as Americans can freely worship, freely speak, freely assemble, freely publish and freely petition government.

This is only possible due to the courage, bravery and sacrifice of our service men and women. On this Memorial Day, lets all remember the debt of gratitude these men and women are owed.”

Jacqueline Eltringham, president of the American Legion Auxiliary,

spoke of the effort to distribute poppies throughout the month of May and the community’s support of the Auxiliary’s mission. The Auxiliary helps veterans in need, including members of Ward 8A in the Northport VA Medical Center.

“We thank you for helping us fulfill our mission, to encourage patriotism, love of country and volunteerism, and help to contribute to all the veterans in need,” Eltringham said.

Commander Tauches read aloud the names of the war dead who served during World Wars I and II, the Korean War, Vietnam and Iraq. Bugler Augustin Mingoia Murphy, a Scout with Garden City Troop 55 and a student at Garden City High School, played Taps. For his service project this year, Augustin is working with the non-profit, Music & Memory, to collect gently used iPods, iPod chargers, headphones and Apple iTunes gift cards needed for music therapy programs at nursing homes and facilities that help Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. His project will directly benefit veterans at the Long Island State Veterans Home. Items may be dropped off at 7 Monroe St. this week.

Where The Fallen Are Not Forgotten

arle Place has an active American Legion Post.

Westbury opened its Military Historical Collection in its old VFW building last November to honor its military heritage. Both have parades on Memorial Day, a day when those who have fallen in battle and called Westbury or Carle Place home are given a proper remembrance.

Westbury held a parade again this year—after the pandemic erased everything in 2020—but Carle Place opted not to hold it.

In a change, the organizing committee decided to start the parade from the Westbury Fire Department main headquarters on Maple Avenue and make the turn to go north on Post Avenue, finishing at the Westbury Community Center complex for a ceremony fronting the war memorials.

Many community groups took part, and a pipe and drum contingent from the NYPD participated, Also providing musical accompaniment was the Westbury High School Band, one of who members also played “Taps.”

“It’s a wonderful sight to see everybody out here this morning, and it’s good to be seen,” said Mayor Peter Cavallaro, who emceed along with Westbury Fire Department ex-chief John Bartunick.

“Memorial Day is probably the most important civic event that we do every year, so it’s great to see everybody come out.”

The mayor asked veterans in attendance to raise their hands, and they received applause. He also thanked the Westbury and Carle Place Fire Departments for participating.

“It’s a solemn day. It’s not really a day that we celebrate,” Cavallaro continued. “Today we recognize the 1.3 million men and women who served in our armed forces and did not return. That’s what we do today. We have barbecues.

We go to the beach. There are concerts. So we try to enjoy ourselves on this day, but I ask everybody to spend a few minutes reflecting on what this day really means. And what

“Take the time, not just on Memorial Day but every day, to take a moment to say to the fallen, ‘Thank you.’ For those who never left the battle fields, we must hold them up in our home towns and honor their memories,” he said. “So spend some time your loved ones, step back from your stresses and reflect on your freedoms that so many of our sons and daughters died to protect. I’m asking you to remember why you have the luxury and the freedom we enjoy today.”

Curran Announces Major Steps To Improve Police Transparency And Diversity

N

assau County Executive Laura Curran recently announced the purchase of 2,500 state-of-the-art body worn cameras for police officers to wear while on patrol, as well as the formation of Police Diversity Committee to review current police hiring practices.

Both initiatives address issues outlined in the Nassau County Police Reform and Reinvention Plan, which was approved by the Nassau County Legislature with bipartisan support. The adopted plan, born out of more than 120 public input sessions, enhances transparency, accountability and robust community-oriented policing policies in the Nassau County Police Department.

The camera technology, which will be worn by uniformed police officers while they are on patrol, as well as

by supervisory staff, is expected to be fully implemented before the end of the year.

“This is an important step that enhances transparency and promotes greater accountability in the police

department,” Curran said. “We are committed to building further upon the well-established trust that the Nassau County Police Department has already established with the communities they protect and serve by implementing this critically important investigative tool.”

Island Tech Services of Ronkonkoma was selected to provide the Nassau County Police Department the cameras, along with training, technical support and the ability to seamlessly upload encrypted evidence to a secure cloudbased system from about 400 police patrol vehicles.

Curran began evaluating equipment options last June by issuing an official Request for Expression of Interest (RFEI) to gather the most up-to-date information from the vendor community on programs, equipment and costs. Vendors were then invited to give presentation of

their products and services to members of the police unions, as well as representatives from the Nassau County District Attorney’s office, Nassau County Police, Information Technology, Management & Budget, Minority Affairs and Shared Services departments.

To expedite transparency in policing, the county’s final purchase is being made from New York State’s Office of General Services competitive price list.

The BC-03 body worn cameras that were purchased are extremely durable and lightweight, weighing less than 5 ounces, and includes high-definition video and high-fidelity audio.

The cameras are manufactured by Getac, an industry leader in body worn cameras with General Electric technology, and produce these cameras for a wide range of police forces from Springfield, MA to Israel. The estimated

cost to fully implement the police body-worn camera program by the end of the year is approximately $5 million.

In addition to the Nassau County Police Department, the county also includes 20 independent local police departments falling under incorporated village or special district jurisdiction. The 2020 Nassau County Shared Services Plan, under New York State’s County-wide Shared Services Initiative (CWSSI) law, applies to these other municipalities if they are interested in the joint purchasing of equipment and shared record storage, by mutual agreement.

The camera program is moving forward and formal discussions with the PBA on a stipend are ongoing.

Although diet and exercise are essential, areas such as the lower abdomen where the skin has been stretched and the skin collapses may never return to “normal”. A tummy tuck tightens the abdominal muscle and the skin of both the lower and upper abdomen.

County Unveils Detective Luis G. Alvarez Memorial Park

More Is Still Needed To Bring Back Subway Riders The return of two million plus daily subway riders is good news. More still needs to be done before three million plus more return. Resumption of round-the-clock New York City Transit subway service is just the start. The Big Apple has always been a 24/7 town. More people work different hours from the old 9 to 5 decades ago. There are still other outstanding issues to be resolved before most of the five million plus pre-COVID-19 ridership will return. Many former riders will continue telecommuting full or part-time and may never come back.

Riders remain concerned about criminal activity, homelessness and periodic vandalism. This needs to be dealt with if the MTA wants to see a return to pre-COVID 19 ridership numbers. Have the police deal with more important issues than immigrant vendors selling churro and other products underground.

Trade in all the former token booth employees who serve as “Station Ambassadors” to help pay for increasing police protection in our subways.

MTA Chairman Pat Foye has a clear conflict when he said that the role of hundreds of new police officers would be other than deterring fare beaters. Didn’t he previously announce a crackdown on fare beaters as a method to significantly reduce the loss of several hundred million in annual pre-COVID-19 revenue losses attributed to a growing number of riders who would not pay their fare?

Crafting And How The Sweater Finally Got Made Crafting is a wonderful hobby, an excellent way to pass the time and a way to keep one’s hands busy to prevent mid-meal snacking.

Crafting has been a tremendous part of my life. My mother taught me how to knit, crochet and wield a needle in the fine craft of embroidery. I learned to sew garments that had been torn, how to create flocked furry animals with the help of a sewing needle and thread and was able to teach myself how to use a Tunisian crocheting hook.

These skills enabled me to save money by creating gifts for others and left me with a sense of accomplishment, especially if the item I had created required a significant amount of time.

When my husband and I were still dating, he mentioned that the comforter on his bed was at least 10 years old, which enabled me to clearly visualize the perfect Christmas gift for him. It took me at least a month, but I was able to create a twin/full-sized quilt on my old Brother sewing machine and by hand-sewing the quilt in areas. It had been my first attempt, which left me with a true feeling of satisfaction when I finished the project. My husband was thrilled with the gift and stated that it kept him warm and cozy. We saved the

Sadly, Hubby could not get the shorts past his knees, for one leg was wider than the other. I swore off creating clothing and opted to stick to “easy” projects like scarves, afghans and beanies.

For several months, our daughter asked about “the sweater.” I tried to psych Patty Servidio myself up for the task. Just thinking about the endeavor quilt and gave it to our daugh- became so overwhelming that ter when she was younger.

of my dresser for two months before I had the courage to begin again. After months of pulling stitches and committing myself to the task at hand, I finally finished it. While there are quite a few errors in the project, it was my first sweater.

It will also be my last as it took a long time to complete. The commitment made enabled me to gain a sense of accomplishment, especially since I have several unfinished projects in a bag, which may end up as scrap yarn for smaller projects in the future.

Hubby just finished a craft of his own. A friend of ours offered two large slabs of wood from a tree he had removed from his property.

After multiple layers of

polyurethane and a set of hairpin legs, his beautiful end tables have added warmth to our living space. Much as our ancestors did before him, he created something with his own hands. The fulfillment that is derived from a project’s completion is more important than the perfection of the craft. Crafting is truly an expression of oneself, a way to put a piece of one’s soul out there. When the job is done, there is no other feeling quite like it.

How about you? Do you craft? I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to drop me a line and let me know what your favorite crafts are.

To AC Or Not To AC When is it considered too early to turn on your air conditioner?

There is no hard and fast rule, I guess. Depending on the weather, you might need to give it a try in April. I know we’ve turned it on once or twice in April, haven’t you?

Central air people, like me, just flip the switch, calendar be damned. Our bodies are programmed for AC. Others may use their AC to help cool their bedroom or living room, but we use central AC to survive.

Next time you are at a dinner party in a home without central AC, take note of the people sweating. I bet they all have central air in their homes.

My house is set to 68 degrees all year long. Somehow, that temperature keeps me warm in the winter and cool in the summer. When you enter my house, prepare to shiver. We affectionately call it “The Meat Locker.”

LONG ISLAND LIVING Paul DiSclafani pdisco23@aol.com

I spent my entire childhood without air conditioning.

While living in Brooklyn, we had a giant fan in the living room window that could have simulated hurricanes on a movie set. But I wasn’t allowed to blow air into the house, only out. My parents had me convinced when the fan blew hot air out from one window, cool air came in through the open window.

A centralized unit is the air conditioning gold standard columnist Paul DiSclafani swears by.

(Photo by Achim Hering/CC BY 3.0)

I would get into big trouble for allowing the fan to blow in while I watched TV. Within minutes, my mother would appear, yelling and screaming.

My theory was simple; if cool air came in when you blew out the hot air, how much cool air would come in if you blew it in?

Apparently, my parents weren’t interested in scientific theory.

Oh, but those few minutes of

bliss. The force of the air blowing on me was such a relief. I was told more than once that having a fan blowing directly onto my body was not good for my back. In retrospect, decades later, maybe they were right?

We struggled for years in our new home with wall units in both the bedroom and living room. By erecting a sheet in the hallway, we could “direct” the cool air from our bedroom and push it into the kid’s bedrooms with a strategically placed fan.

We made the investment into central air about 20 years ago. It was a luxury we felt we couldn’t do without. It was expensive, but I could not live without it.

Once you have central air, you can never go back. People will tell you how their wall/ window units keep their homes very comfortable. They don’t see the need for cooling every room in the house 24 hours a day. Really? Keep telling yourselves that.

When the temperature inside my house gets up over 72, I feel like I can’t breathe. Even Louie the Labrador reacts when it gets over 70. He’s like our canary in a coal mine, panting and breathing heavy. As soon as that condenser kicks on, he returns to normal.

We turn our Massapequa home into a meat locker when it starts to get hot outside, regardless of what the calendar says. It also comes in handy when you can’t open the windows due to pollen.

Maybe I secretly blame my parents for my obsession with air conditioning. I know when my mother visits, she complains about how cold it is inside. I tell her to bring a sweater. By this time, she knows not to even ask me if I can turn down the AC. —Paul DiSclafani’s new book, A View From The Bench, is a collection of his favorite Long Island Living columns.

CONGRATULATIONS

the in-person ceremonies, many others remain virtual in this second year of the pandemic.

Celebrities and thought leaders support the Class of 2021 though video posts that articulate sage advice and words of encouragement.

HERE ARE 10 OF THE BEST TAKEAWAYS FROM THESE CONTINUING COVID-ERA COMMENCEMENT SPEECHES. “You now know, that you have what it takes to get through pretty much anything. So when you come up against an obstacle, when you experience a setback—and you will, we all do—remember the resilience that you showed this past year.

The determination. Remember, that you have the strength to get through anything. You do not have to get through anything alone. You are not alone. We are all in this together and when we look out for one another, everybody is better off.”

—Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States “The best part of what waits for you is that liberating prize of life, those remarkable moments when we understand that we are not the most important person in the world. That man on the side of the road is. The person on the airplane suffering is. Our children are, our parents are as they age, our loved ones are. Everyone is the most important person in the world. And I think it is your responsibility to become larger as you get older and not get smaller. Don’t become one of those people who end up complaining all the time, whose very face reveals years of accumulated bitterness. That choice is actually yours.”

—Elizabeth Strout, author

“We don’t have any recent precedent for a pandemic, having forced us to stay at home for 15 months but there are parallel moments and hardships. You have learned this past year and a half, happily or not, that circumstances in life can change in an instant. Your happiness, success and growth can only ever come from how you decide to belly up to it.”

—Minnie Driver, actress “Over the past year, we’ve gotten a good look at how digital technology cannot replace physical togetherness. Not when it comes to being with family and friends, not when it comes to being with professors and classmates, not when it comes to attending a party or going to a museum, and not when it comes to interacting with colleagues and coworkers in whatever field you choose to pursue, whether it’s science or medicine, engineering or business, the arts, or the military. I hope you will take one big idea with you, because it really could not be more important. And that is simply, be present for others, in your careers and your personal lives. Because ultimately, it’s only through the power of our relationships that we can fulfill our potential and that we can build teams capable of creating a society that is more just, more equal, more peaceful, and, in the words of our nation’s founders, more perfect.”

—Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of New York City “You have earned this time to celebrate and acknowledge your hard work with your friends and loved ones; you deserve to have this accomplishment tied in some spacial awareness as you sit in a folding chair on a football field or something, but I’m willing to bet that each of you are still trying figure out how to celebrate in your own particular way. Whether or not Pomp and Circumstance is playing at your event, virtual or otherwise, you made it through a very important period in your life.”

—Bowen Yang, comedian “Belonging is a word we use a lot, and it is a hard thing to hold on to—particularly when you enter spaces that don’t expect you, that don’t want you, that are willing to reject you at the drop of a hat.”

—Stacey Abrams, former elected official

CONTINUED from page 3A “The top song on the Billboard Music charts today is “Save Your Tears,” by The Weeknd and Ariana Grande. In it, they tell the person to save their tears for another day. After this past year, we struggled together, we cried together, and we experienced loss together. But, graduates, today is a new day. Save your sad tears for another day.”

—Miguel A. Cardona, U.S. Secretary of Education

“There’s a growing threat right here, right in our backyard. Our country must remember that no one can enjoy the pursuit of happiness if you cannot own the fruits of your own labor, and no society can retain its legitimacy, or a virtuous character, without religious freedom. I worry. I worry that far beyond the battle lines of defense, economic or trade policy, that the battle to stop the divorce of America from its founding values is much more important.”

—Mike Pompeo, former U.S. Secretary of State “The press always asks me why I’m so optimistic about America’s chances in the world. And I’ve said from the time I decided to run, “Because of this generation.” You’re the most progressive, best-educated, least prejudiced, most open generation in American history. We need you badly. You’re ready. It’s time to get underway.”

—Joseph Biden, President of the United States

“There is going to be an amazing time, over the next 10, 15, 20 years, as we see what happens, with this new technology, with the power of community, to hopefully create a lot more good. And I don’t see any other path forward. We have to figure it out. We have to make it better—for my daughter, for her entire generation, for all of us to be able to not just survive, but thrive together, as a community, accepting the fact that we are all deeply flawed but working to bring about the very best in each and every one of us.”

June: Elder Abuse Awareness

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

E

Preventing elder abuse

Everyone has a role to play in protecting older adults. Advocates seek to raise awareness of the problem among doctors, bank employees and law enforcement. The general public, too, are urged to know the warning signs: • Unexplained bruises, broken bones, burns, cuts or scars.

When it’s time to act

Seniors who are being mistreated may be too ashamed or afraid to talk about it. They may not want to get a relative in trouble. They may fear retribution from the abuser. And they may believe that the abuser is their only source of care.

If you suspect an elder has been victimized, reassure them that it is not their fault. Explain that you are concerned, and offer to assist them in getting help. Report your concerns to the appropriate adult protective services agency. You can find contact information on the website of the National Center on Elder Abuse (www. ncea.acl.gov).

If you think the person is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local police number to get help right away.

Elder abuse is sometimes perpetrated by a stranger A random robbery, a scam telephone call, or a “friendly stranger” who works their way into the senior’s life for bad purposes. But sadly, said Balbera, experts report that most elder mistreatment is at the hands of a “trusted other”—perhaps a family member, a friend, a neighbor or a financial advisor.

Though the risk of elder abuse increases when an older adult is dependent on others due to mobility

• Poor hygiene, dirty clothes, unusual weight loss or bedsores.

• Withdrawal from normal activities and relationships.

• Sudden change in an elder’s financial situation.

• Depression and signs of trauma.

• Belittling, threats or other power abuse by caregivers.

• Lack of appropriate medical care.

lder abuse isn’t a topic anyone enjoys discussing, but it’s important to talk about it.

“Experts estimate that 10 percent of older adults are victims of elder abuse, yet only a small percentage of cases are ever reported,” said Gregg Balbera, president of Right at Home Nassau Suffolk.

Balbera explains that elder abuse includes: Physical abuse Use of physical force that results in illness or injury; restraining an older adult against their will.

Emotional or psychological abuse Insults, threats and other behavior that causes mental pain; isolating the individual from other people.

Sexual abuse Involving the person in forced or unwanted sexual contact.

Neglect and abandonment Failure to provide food, shelter, hygiene, medical care and other basic necessities of life.

Financial exploitation Theft, forgery, stealing from an older person’s bank account or retirement benefits; fraud; improper use of guardianship or power of attorney.

challenges, dementia or other disabilities, elder mistreatment happens to seniors of every socioeconomic and health status. It can happen in the person’s home, in a care facility, or in the home of a family member.

Gerontologists also say that social isolation is a top risk factor for elder abuse, giving World Elder Abuse Awareness Month 2021 increased significance. Balbera said that stayat-home orders have curtailed many of the services that keep older adults connected to the world outside their homes. Economic insecurity has raised instances of financial abuse. And scammers have been out in full force, taking advantage of the fears of older adults to sell them useless treatments and cures, or to scare them into divulging personal information that allows the crooks to access the elders’ bank accounts.

Balbera also pointed out that if an elder neglects their own well-being, which might be due to dementia, poor health or substance abuse, this is considered self-neglect and also should be reported so the person can be helped.

Keeping our loved ones safe

“Professional in-home care services can help,” said Balbera. “Professional caregivers assist clients with personal care, health care management, transportation and companionship.

They provide watchful supervision for frail seniors and those with dementia.

They lessen the workload for family caregivers, and liaison with family who live at a distance.”

Balbera stressed the importance of hiring through an agency that screens and trains their caregivers. This provides peace of mind for family and ensures the well-being of their loved one.

For years, they took care of us.

Now, it’s our turn.

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

“Especially now, it’s important for family to stay in close touch with older family members,” said Balbera.

“Visit as often as possible. These days, that might mean video visits or phone calls. Make these contacts frequent.

Know the red flags listed above, and encourage your loved one to be open about things that concern them.”

Sadly, a family member is sometimes responsible for elder abuse. The more family members involved with a loved one’s care, the better. If a loved one is moving to a senior living facility or adult family home, check it out. And family should learn all they can about people with whom they entrust their loved one’s care. Sometimes a person with ill intentions can masquerade as a “loving friend” or a competent professional.

NURSING HOME STAFFING LEGISLATION Nursing homes throughout New York would welcome the opportunity to have unfettered access to qualified staff, however, we oppose this one-size fits all legislation because it ignores the fact that New York does not have enough qualified workers to meet the mandate and it fails to provide enough funding to pay for the costs of the mandate.

Staffing is a highly complex issue that is comprised of multiple clinical variables that are unique to each nursing home and its resident population. The simplistic staffing ratios in this legislation do not in and of themselves improve the quality of care.

This legislation is based on outdated pre-pandemic 2019 staffing data and ignores the findings of Cornell University in the Department of Health August 2020 minimum staffing study that highlighted New York’s long-term care workforce crisis.

On top of New York’s nursing home workforce shortages, the state continues to underfund nursing home care. The average cost of providing 24-hour nursing home

care in New York is $266 per resident per day, but the state only pays an average of $211 per resident per day—or $8.79 per hour. New York’s chronic underfunding of Medicaid directly inhibits a nursing home’s ability to recruit and retain workers when hospitals can always pay nurses more.

If legislators were sincere about addressing the long-term care workforce crisis, they would hold public hearings and implement measures to meaningfully recruit and retain workers into long-term care and increase Medicaid reimbursement to nursing homes before imposing unworkable staffing mandates that are detached from reality.

—Stephen Hanse, President and CEO of the New York State Health Facilities Association New York State Health Facilities Association (“NYSHFA”) is a statewide organization representing more than 325 nonprofit, for-profit and government-sponsored skilled nursing facilities. Hanse’s response is in response to staffing mandate bills being advanced in the state legislature.

Abstain From Alcohol With Liver Disease Alcohol associated liver disease is the most common cause of cirrhosis in the United States. Since the start of the pandemic, hospital admissions for alcohol associated diseases have increased nationally by 300 to 400 percent.

Perhaps the most concerning statistic is that the majority of these admissions are in people, men and women, aged in their 20s through 40s. Young people!

Alcoholic hepatitis is a clinical syndrome.

On examination, the liver is enlarged and tender to palpation. When blood testing is done, the liver tests are elevated and the bilirubin is high.

ommencement is a milestone moment for students as well as their proud parents.

For father-daughter duo Gary and Stephanie Pollino, of Plainview, this commencement season is even more special as both will receive Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degrees from Widener University’s School of Nursing in Pennsylvania.

Gary, a 15-year health care veteran, added: “It doesn’t happen too often where the parent and child get to graduate and walk together,” Gary, a 15-year health care professional, said. “That’s been an exciting highlight of life. I’m so proud of Stephanie but now I get to experience it with her, hand-in-hand walking next to her at graduation.”

Gary is earning a BSN through Widener’s online RN-to-BSN program. Stephanie is earning her BSN through Widener’s undergraduate

nursing program.

According to Stephanie, the opportunity to walk at graduation with her father is very special and fitting.

“I’m really close with my dad so the fact that my dad was a big part of why I went into nursing, it’s funny— in the best way possible—that I get to share this with him.”

Evelyn Ortiz Named Youth Of The Year Each year the Boys & Girls Club of Oyster Bay-East Norwich selects one outstanding member to represent the Club as the “Youth of the Year,” as part of its Member Recognition program, generously sponsored by the Quinn Family Foundation. The club is proud to announce the “Youth of the Year” for 2021 is Evelyn Ortiz.

On May 24, Ortiz competed against over 25 other outstanding youth in New York, and was first identified as one of three finalists in the completion and later announced as the ”New York State Youth of the Year.”

In addition, Ortiz was awarded a $10,000 scholarship. She now moves on to the next phase of the competition to compete against other state winners from the Northeast to compete for the title of “Northeastern Youth of the Year.”

Ortiz joined the club as a teen in 2017 when her younger siblings, Brianna and James, became members.

Her parents were both out of the house in the afternoon, and they wanted a safe place for their children to go after school.

As a teen, Ortiz felt a little old to be at the club and often found herself asking counselors if she could help.

She was a natural teacher and with so much experience taking care of her younger siblings, she fit in perfectly at the club as a member of the Torch Club for teen volunteers. Her positive

She is a member of the “Breaking Boarders Club,” the publicity officer for the school yearbook, and a member of the Chamber Singers. She is currently preparing for the school chorus’ “Cavalcade of Choirs,” where she will be featured as a soloist. At last year’s school musical, Into the Woods, she stole the show as Cinderella’s mother. It’s no wonder her favorite movie is High School Musical 2.

When she’s not with that club, she enjoys spending time with her family and participating in her church choir.

This fall, Ortiz will be attending Adelphi University where she plans to major in childhood/elementary education. Her dream since kindergarten Evelyn Ortiz has been to become a teacher.

At an early age, Ortiz was inspired interactions with youth while she was by her teachers, and she wants to be at the club made it obvious to all, that an inspiration to the next generation she would one day work there.

When asked what she would tell someone about the club, she responded, “It’s a great place to meet people and you have the opportunity to do so many things. It’s a place where I have met some of my best friends and it was one of the best decisions I had made to join.”

Ortiz’s favorite color is purple, and she loves the TV show The Office which explains her admiration for the show’s star, John Krasinski. Her favorite superhero is Black Panther.

She loves math and when it comes to reading, The Great Gatsby is at the top of her list. Original cheesecake is her weakness, and the Fourth of July is her holiday of choice.

When asked who she admires most, she said, “My mom! She has been through so many hardships and she’s taught the biggest lessons of life. I would not be here without her advice.”

Ortiz is a hard worker who excels at school. She is as dedicated to ensuring she has a great future as she is to ensuring the youth at the Club do, as well. She finds the time to balance school, work and her family obligations without missing a beat. She is eager to take on any task presented to her, and her reliability is one of her many strengths.

AUTHOR INSPIRES BERNER STUDENTS Sixth graders at Berner Middle School in the Massapequa School District learned about the writing and publishing process from an author whose child-friendly book about the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks is used as a teaching tool at the school.

Author Tom Rogers recently connected with students via videoconference and talked about his book, Eleven, which is about the journey of a boy who turns 11 on 9/11. Rogers discussed the different ways authors find motivation for their books. Many of his stories have been based on his own experiences; the idea for Eleven came from his nephew.

Rogers shared how a high school English teacher inspired him to be a writer, after initially wanting to be a scientist. He also talked to students about the importance the editing process, noting that a “perfect first draft” doesn’t exist.

“Even a great writer isn’t always successful the first time,” library media specialist Laurie Martucci-Walsh said, about the important writing lesson that Rogers imparted on Berner’s sixth graders.

Rogers concluded each presentation with a question and answer session. The visit was actually the result of outreach from both a Berner teacher and student. Sixth grade ELA and social studies teacher Vanessa

“Sammy’s personal connections are far-reaching and his passions are bottomless,” Roslyn High School Guidance Counselor Cherie Totillo said. “He has formed innumerable relationships with his teachers from middle school to high school and has kept in contact with all of them.

Sammy’s life experiences from an early age have taught him that it is not where you end up but how you get there that makes all the difference.

Sammy will undoubtedly continue to make a difference, just as he has within our school community and within the hearts of our school staff.”

Mineola High School students involved in the Student Service Center planted smiles on the faces of local senior citizens with “Mission Marigold.”

Due to the constraints of the pandemic, student volunteers have been unable to see the senior citizen guests who typically are a part of the school’s Lunch Bunch. Mission Marigold is a way for students to still safely connect with the seniors, while carrying on the tradition of giving them a small potted plant each spring.

Manor Oaks School students in grades K-6 were virtually visited by author and illustrator Peter Catalanotto through a Google Meet livestream on May 12 and May 19. The presentation was made possible due to the efforts of teachers Christina Sciarrotto, Sharon Layburn and Barbara Nelson, as well as the school’s PTA. Prior to the livestreams, the PTA purchased Catalanotto’s books for each class. Kindergartners and first graders read Matthew ABC, Daisy 1, 2, 3 and Ivan the Terrier. Second and third graders received Monkey & Robot: Friends and Neighbors, Emily’s Art and Dylan’s Day Out. Fourth and fifth graders read Mr. Mumble, Question Boy Meets Little Miss Know-It-All and An Angel for Solomon Singer. Sixth graders read An Angel for Solomon Singer and Mother to Tigers.

During the livestream on May 12, Catalanotto discussed his writing and drawing process. He told the students that he’s always loved to draw and talk about ideas, and he encouraged them to write or draw their own stories. On May 19, he answered the students’ questions.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The moment you wake up -- the one between unconsciousness and the first thought of the day -- exists in a holy stillness, an invigorated silence of pure potential, waiting to embrace you any time you want to slip back in. Why quest for it? Not venturing out can help you find what is always with you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The action plays out before you, and participation is optional. You can take control or lend support. You can be a spectator or do much less as you move right along. Remember your power to choose.

Many a scene will try and seduce you into thinking that participation is mandatory, which is not the case.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Secure in yourself, you don’t seek status. In every life, there is something that’s enviable to others. Though some lives sport this more obviously than others. This week, you’ll be inclined to hide anything that others might be jealous of -- a wise instinct, as the wrong kind of attention won’t benefit you in the least.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you could see the bonding agent that makes relationships strong, then you would notice the “glue” applied in tiny drops -- brief moments of trust that, over time, build up to a quantity to connect people in points of solidarity. Don’t doubt the power of small positive interactions. They count. They are, in fact, everything.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You want to get your project done, and you have everything you need now -- except time. In this case, time can be made.

It can be carved out, claimed and protected. Unless you get intentional and proactive about this, it won’t happen. You may even need to become somewhat ferocious. Your project is worth it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Growth is happening whether you recognize it or not. You’re in the process of change. As any insect inside a chrysalis knows, what’s occurring doesn’t feel the least bit miraculous. Instead, it’s experienced as messy, cramped and uncomfortable. Nonetheless, on the other side of this will be a wondrous flight. Onward!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just when you think you know yourself, a new circumstance gives you an exciting glimpse into levels of your personality to be revealed in the next 10 weeks. You may feel somewhat lost. Every option is a road you’ve never been down to a destination uncertain -- disconcerting and yet you’ll love where you land.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Nothing limits a view like a limited viewpoint.

As fond as you are of reasonableness, today’s scene will make you wonder if you might be better off imposing unrealistic expectations on an area of your life. This will shake things up. Tomorrow will be different from today because you dared to see it differently.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Things that appear to happen all at once are really the result of a long buildup of culminating measures. In this light, what do you think the current trends will eventually produce? Expert powers of projection are on the cosmic tap this week. Guess what’s coming. Adjust your actions to aim at the future you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re turning out good work as fast as you can. Don’t disparage your progress. To accept your natural pacing as a starting point (instead of comparing yourself to those going faster) is an attitude that will carry you far. Self-encouragement is like the high-energy music that makes a workout easier.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The journey between novice and mastery crosses through a large field of mediocrity. It’s nothing too treacherous, just tall grass and gopher holes. The main thing is not to lie down and rest, and certainly don’t set up camp. March on. You’ll know you’re out of mediocrity when the terrain is more difficult and the views grand.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s as though you’re chasing a result that doesn’t want to be caught. You reach and, like a startled animal, it runs. So stop putting energy into the chase and start putting it into different methods of getting stronger and faster. Likely this has to do with building a habit -- becoming mighty through repetition.

Gold Coast Purple Stingers Win NYSA Championship

he Gold Coast Purple Stingers finished their spring season in second place overall, taking them to the final game of the championship series against the first place Lady Diamond Pros from Lynbrook.

“I have been working with these ladies since we started the Stingers when they were only nine years old,” said Coach Jeff Roditi. “I could not be prouder how far they have come, the hard work they have put in and what great players and teammates they are becoming.”

The Stingers fired up the offense right from the first inning with a run.

“I’m proud of how I pitched, but I’m even prouder of how great we all played as a team, both at bat and in the field,” said #99 Grace Ryan.

Stellar pitching allowed only 10 hits over the seven innings with two strike outs and the game saw two home runs hit in the second and seventh innings.

“I had a great hit in the seventh inning; I was so excited when it was a home run,” said #12 Julia Noboa. “I brought in two runners too, giving us a nice late-game lead.”
