Residents Speak Out On New Memorial Park Rules

3

TOP STORY

New Hyde Park Village mayor says he may be open to alternatives JANET BURNS jburns@antonmediagroup.com

L

ocals are conflicted over so-called “pay to play” rules recently enacted at Memorial Park.

In late June, families rallied outside the park to protest a recent policy that requires non-residents of the Village of New Hyde Park to pay a fee per person, per day to use Memorial Park. During the June protest and at a village meeting a few days later, several community members reportedly expressed outrage and frustration over the rules, which apparently now require some of the park’s nearest neighbors to pay for use.

Under the current policy, Village of New Hyde Park residents must obtain ID from the village for themselves, children aged five and up, and any dogs in order to use the park. Non-village residents must now pay $10 per person, per day to use Memorial Park, Nuzzi Field, and adjacent areas.

One longtime resident of the Village of New Hyde Park who spoke to Nassau Illustrated News about the new rules called them “disgraceful.” The resident, who declined to publish their name, also noted that they’re planning to leave the Village of New Hyde Park (in part because of the many various fees and kinds of paperwork involved in village residence), and said they wouldn’t be getting a park ID in the meantime “on principle.”

In April, Village of New Hyde Park Mayor Christopher Devane spoke with Nassau Illustrated News about the “pay to play” rules, noting that Memorial Park was officially designated as residents-only a full decade ago, in 2012, or “three mayors ago,” as he put it.

“The problem [here] is twofold: one, non-residents do not pay for the upkeep of the park [through village taxes], our residents do,” Devane said. “And two: my feeling is that if somebody passed by the park and saw that it was crowded, and it did get crowded, say there was a village resident and they saw the swings were being used or the basketball court, the baseball field or the children’s playground was being used and they decided, ‘you know what, I’m not going to go to the park because it’s too crowded.’

That is just fundamentally unfair ... [and

Village of New Hyde Park residents man the gate at Memorial Park while a few elder residents exercise within the park at around 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, July 5. our] main priority is village residents.”

“It certainly won’t be an open door policy as it has been in the past,” Devane said in April. “We’ll have a guest policy but as for what that policy is, I say potentially a happy medium is for every village resident to be afforded one guest.”

In a follow-up interview this month, Mayor Devane explained that, per current policy, guests of village residents will pay $5 to use the park, per day, and that children under five “from anywhere in Nassau County” can use the park for free, and without ID. “Anyone in Nassau can use the park, but they’ll be asked to pay a fee.”

Devane said that when he took office in April 2021, he soon began visiting Memorial Park to assess the complaints from some village residents, and to informally survey people using the park about whether or not they lived nearby. He estimated, for example, that roughly 60% of people playing pickeball there were not from the Village of New Hyde Park. Devane also said that, among other things, “Behavior on the basketball courts included cursing and playing loud music,” and that trash, drug use, and graffiti were big problems (descriptions that some area residents dispute). After a few months, he said, he determined that the villagers-only policy needed to be enforced.

Devane said that he started announcing plans to enforce the villagers-only policy at

(Credit: Janet Burns) Village of New Hyde Park board meetings from July 2021 onward, and announced publicly this spring that village residents could start getting their park IDs at Marcus Christ Hall.

According to Devane, the village has already issued around 1700 IDs (he didn’t specify if these included dog IDs, which confirm animals’ vaccinations, he said).

Today, a single, supervised entrance to the park replaces its previous six entrances, part of the approximately $250,000 to $300,000 of village money that Devane says was recently spent on fixing up the park.

Since then, he said, “There’s no more

unruly behavior ... It has all stopped immediately.”

Devane also told Nassau Illustrated News that he and six appointed village residents had formed a park committee in response to the pushback, and which will have its second meeting the week of July 13. He also said he’s open to discussing a compromise with community members, such as people that live near Memorial Park in New Hyde Park but not within the village, but repeatedly emphasized that the back-and-forth so far hasn’t been cordial.

“Ask the non-residents if they’d be willing to pay any fee at all,” Devane suggested.

college students who are interested in a career in law.

“The tapestry of our association becomes richer because of diversity.

Diversity encompasses not only gender, race and sexual orientation, but also ethnic and national origin, religion, geographic location, work experience, economic background, age and disability, Baiamonte said. As diversity increases, so does our strength and capability as a bar association. Through increased diversity, our organization can more effectively address societal and member needs through a collection of varied perspectives, experiences, knowledge and understanding.”

t’s summertime and the Mets and Yankees are living in first place. A Subway Series? Well, there are miles of playoff action before that happens.

The Mets are celebrating their 60th anniversary this year and that means six decades of rivalry with the mighty Yankees.

It’s not the Yankee-Dodger showdowns of the Fifties, but it’s had its moments.

Two figures are central to the early Yankees-Mets era: Casey Stengel and George Weiss. By 1960, the Yankees were ready to fire Stengel, the manager who led the team to five straight World Series wins in the first five years as skipper. Stengel was pushing 70, the Yankees had a poor season in 1959, Stengel had a habit of falling asleep during the game, younger players found him often cruel and impatient. Above all, the Yankees worried about losing popular coach Ralph Houk to a rival team. Houk, a former bullpen catcher, was being groomed as the future Yankees manager.

The team made it easy by losing the 1960 World Series to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Stengel made a major blunder in waiting for game three, played at Yankee Stadium, to start his ace, Whitey Ford. If Ford had started game one and four, then he would have been on the hill for the decisive game, if indeed the series had gone that far. In Ford’s two games, the Bombers won by lopsided margins.

But they lost and Stengel, to the great displeasure of fans and the media, was sacked.

As significant was the firing of George Weiss, the longtime general manager who hired Stengel in 1950. For the Yankees, that turned out to be a long-term blunder.

In 1962, the Mets took flight. Stengel owned New York. He implored the “youth of America” to come to New York and play for the Mets. The team was the first to have their own mascot. They also had a theme song. The comical Stengel foresaw a day when women would give birth to “little Metsies” who would indeed lead the franchise to future glory.

It worked. The 1962 Mets drew 283,000 more fans that year than the 1957 New York Giants, the last tenants of the long-lost Polo Grounds. Who can forget that team? They went 40-120, but the fans loved them anyway. The names ring out: Richie Ashburn, Elia Chacon, Charley Neal, Charles “Choo

Casey Stengel at the helm triple, only to see it erased. The man forgot to touch first base and while he was it, second base, too.

Being an original Met became a badge of honor. They remain the stuff of history: Loveable losers, sure, but also Casey’s boys who, game after game, went into the breach to almost certain defeat. To paraphrase Walt Whitman, they could say: I was the man, I was there, I suffered, but hey, I brought National League baseball back to New York.

Everyone loved those original Mets.

Marv could hit. He just had trouble finding the bases. Once he cleared the bases with a

In Yankee camp that year, there was trouble in paradise. The year before, the Bombers won 109 games while dusting off the Cincinnati Reds in the Fall Classic.

That year, Roger Maris hit 61 home runs, breaking Babe Ruth’s 1927 record. The pressure on Maris was inhumane. Clumps of hair kept falling out of his head as he chased The Babe. In spring training 1962, it all fell apart. Maris feuded with sportswriters. The man playfully responded to an autograph request with an “X.” (He later gave the youngster his full name.) Too late.

The press ripped the man as a one-shot wonder: “The Whiner,” “Rude Roger,” and a “punk ball player.” Maris was miserable. He

The Yankees were still the Yankees: Maris, Mickey Mantle, Elston Howard, Bobby Richardson, Tony Kubek, Clete Boyer, Tom Tresh. A staff anchored by Ford, Bill Stafford, Ralph Terry, and rookie Jim Bouton remained the class of the American League.

In the World Series, the Bombers faced off against a San Francisco powerhouse lineup led by Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, Willie McCovey, Jose Pagan, and the Alou brothers, Matty and Felipe. It all came down to the ninth inning of game seven.

Leading 1-0, Ralph Terry faced Mays with two outs and Matty Alou on first. The Say Hey Kid ripped a double down the right field line. The play was Roger’s Revenge: The man played the ball off the fence, throwing a bullet to cut-off man Bobby Richardson who fired his own strike to Howard. The next batter, Willie McCovey, hit a screaming line drive to Richardson for out three. The Mays double remains a miracle play: Two outs, a runner on first, an extra base hit. Of course you score. Maris, a former high school football star, was more than a home run hitter: He was also a great outfielder.

The story of those early Mets-Yankees years wasn’t necessarily Stengel or Maris.

It was George Weiss. This was the man the Bombers should have never let go. Weiss was elderly, but the fires still burned. The Mets eagerly signed Weiss as GM. The latter convinced a reluctant Stengel to come back as manager. Weiss began making moves. In 1964, the Amazins moved into spacious Shea Stadium. Weiss built a team centered around pitching and defense.

His prospects included Kranepool, Cleon Jones, Tug McGraw, Ron Swoboda, and Bud Harrelson, all indispensable to the Mets success.

Would the Yankees have fallen so sharply if Weiss was still at the helm? The Yanks were down, the Mets, with the brash Tom Seaver as ace of the pitching staff, were up.

From 1964 to 1976, New York was a Mets town. The Yankees, now playing in a refurbished Yankee Stadium, acquired some swagger of their own. The mercurial but happy-spending George Steinbrenner was the new owner. He hired Billy Martin, baseball’s volatile genius, as his skipper. What a pair they made: Billy hired and fired, hired and fired, hired and fired again. No matter.

The Bombers ran off a championship era of their own. As for 2022? Game on!

The Angels Of Northwell After a year of suffering from back pain after falling off a step stool, I decided, along with my neurosurgeon, to repair the damage to my lower back through the wonders of surgery.

Dr. Michael Lefkowitz and his team worked miracles on my lower back, repairing the fracture and relieving the pressure on my nerves. It took more than six hours to complete the surgery in Northwell’s Manhasset Hospital operating room. I spent five nights in Manhasset before being transferred to Glen Cove for a week of inpatient acute rehab.

As I was mentally preparing for surgery and the subsequent recovery, nothing could have prepared me for the helplessness I would be going through. Even if I wanted to do something for myself, I wasn’t allowed. Early in my stay, I had to rely on the nursing staff to roll me over from my back to my side.

Let me tell you something about being a patient in a hospital. Dignity goes right out the door. Once the catheter was removed, my best friend became the urinal. Unable to walk alone, I couldn’t go anywhere

except the bed to a chair and back again. If I had to go to the bathroom, I had to be delivered in a “Sara steady” and make the best of a commode. And that, my friends, was the least of my dignity problems.

That’s where the angels stepped up to the plate.

At my lowest point, they were always there to lend a helping hand. It didn’t matter who was on shift at the time. An angel showed up to help me whenever I pressed that call button.

Although my early days in Manhasset were a little blurry, things changed once I got to

Glen Cove for rehab. Not only did the staff have me up and dressed every day by 7 a.m., but I also received two hours of physical therapy and an hour of occupational therapy.

I know it sounds crazy, but since I’ve been home, I miss all the attention I was getting while in the hospital. Don’t get me wrong, every minute I was there, I wanted to be home.

Most of the night nurses called me “Mr. Paul.” They all laughed at my jokes and did everything they could to make me comfortable. I understand it’s their job, but it was the way they delivered my care. They weren’t just taking care of me because they had to. They knew how much I needed them, and they stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park every time.

It didn’t matter how embarrassing it was for me; they made it a pleasant experience every time. Of course, maybe the fact that I told them I was a newspaper columnist and would be writing a column about them had something to do with it?

I wish I could remember the name of everyone who took care of me to thank them personally, but that ship has

sailed. The entire staff on the 1-South Rehab unit knows who they are. Don’t let me forget the physical therapists and occupational therapists, either. To name some, but not all, would be unfair.

Since being discharged from rehab in Glen Cove, I’ve been home under the watchful eye of my wife and Louie the Labrador.

Sleeping was (and still is) the most challenging part because I can’t get comfortable yet. It’s certainly getting better every day.

There’s not a lot you can do when recovering from spinal surgery. I’ve spent way too much time watching shows on Netflix, but what else is there?

I’ve still got a long recovery ahead of me, but my main goal will be my son Kevin’s wedding at the end of July. I want to walk into that reception hall on my own.

Thanks to all the angels of Northwell, I have a good shot at that.

Paul DiSclafani’s new book, A View From The Bench, is a collection of his favorite Long Island Living columns. It’s available wherever books are sold.

American Gets An ‘F’ On Gun Control We are truly living in interesting times. The COVID-19 damaged economy has made great strides towards normality, but at the same time, we are being buffeted with the shock of inflation. We can cope with all of these ups and downs, but we just can’t seem to get control of the gun carnage that is taking place all over America.

Not a day goes by without some incident, large or small, involving death by guns. We were still healing from the gun violence in Buffalo and Texas, and we now face a new tragedy in Highland Park, IL. There is no doubt that by the time this column is published, there will be another calamity in another state, involving an assault-type weapon possessed by a mentally unstable person.

If grades were to be given out to legislators for action on gun control, New York State and Governor Kathy Hochul have earned an “A”. The recently

INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer

completed legislative special session produced a new set of laws designed to deal specifically with the recent Supreme Court decision throwing out New York’s gun carry permit law.

The changes to the carry permit law include requiring

additional training before a permit can be issued; review of the social media activity of the permit applicant and creating “sensitive” locations in the state where a permit holder is not allowed to enter with a gun covered by the permit. The so-called sensitive areas include Times Square, schools, hospitals, places of public assembly and houses of worship.

These new changes are on top of the passage of the New York Safe Act. That Act bans assault weapons, requires pistol holders to be re-certified periodically, and cracks down on the potential purchase of guns by people with mental illness. It does not deprive the average gun owner from owning a gun for protection, hunting or related uses that are covered by the Second Amendment cases.

The U.S. Congress has made an attempt to impose some gun restrictions despite strong opposition by the National Rifle

Association. Even though those changes are historic, they were nowhere near as comprehensive as the New York gun changes.

At the same time as places like New York have acted, there is a different story in Texas, which has adopted a law that eliminates the need to obtain a license to carry a handgun.

Previous Texas law allowed guns to be brought into houses of worship and other public places.

In the years ahead America will find ways to make our country more prosperous but we lack the national will to stop the gun carnage that dominates our everyday lives.

Teen Exercise Can Help Mental Health The COVID-19 pandemic has presented numerous challenges for our country.

The disease has taken more than a million lives in the United States and adversely affected tens of millions more. The U.S. is now facing a mental health crisis on top of and in part because of the health emergency these last two years. Between lockdowns, restrictions and virtual schooling and work, we have lacked the human interaction and physical activity that helped keep us mentally and emotionally healthy.

These situations have also led to harmful routines and bad habits for many of us, most acutely among kids and adolescents.

There is a real need for government institutions, non-profit organizations and companies to step up and provide mental health services—especially for our nation’s young people.

Nearly half of Gen Z (46 percent) said that their mental health was worse than before the pandemic, according to a survey by the American Psychological

Dr. Richard Carmona Association. And now, as schools let out for the summer, kids will be left to their own devices—both literally and figuratively—to find ways to occupy themselves and their minds. Those struggling with emotional challenges already may find the summertime detachment more than they can handle.

It’s important that parents and community leaders identify and support activities to keep young people engaged and active once school is out. Civic summer recreation programs, community pools

and camps can provide important and inclusive outlets for kids and teenagers. The National Suicide Prevention Hotline will launch its nationwide 3-digit hotline (988) so that anyone can quickly get in touch with a mental health professional whenever they need may it.

At least one nationwide company is opening its doors for teens to use their facilities free of cost this summer. Planet Fitness is launching its Pass that will allow high schoolers from 14 to 19 to exercise for free at their locations across the U.S. and Canada.

Empowering physical activity and health is paramount in fighting the mental health challenges our youngest generations now face. Nearly 92 percent of teens agree that regular physical activity helps them feel better mentally.

Lockdowns and restrictions during the pandemic effectively hamstrung parents and children for nearly two years. Classrooms and offices went virtual and the majority of the day was spent behind screens. While adults had to

manage the same circumstances as their children, their situations allowed for far more freedom.

Many adolescents reported that their usual health and fitness routines were disrupted as a result of the last two years. Combine that with the findings from the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in which only 15 percent of middle and high school aged children reported having met the recommended hour of physical activity a day and it is quite clear that the pandemic has exacerbated an adolescent health crisis.

Fitness centers are a key cog in the fight against COVID-19.

Programs like Planet Fitness’s High School Summer Pass can provide access to safe and reliable exercise, which is crucial in order to build a robust immune system.

The CDC found that the rate of body mass index (BMI) increase doubled during the pandemic, compared to pre-pandemic levels, in kids ages 2 to 19. Exercise and a strong immune system can significantly lower the risks of

comorbidities such as obesity and diabetes that contribute to long term health consequences.

Raised in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood, I know too well about the lack of resources and opportunities that low-income minority populations struggle with. Communities of color have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.

Whether it be healthcare access, educational and wealth gaps, or discrimination, underserved communities are at the forefront of the fight for our health.

As the pandemic seems to near its end, the physical and mental health challenges of the last two years cannot be forgotten. We must commit to strengthening our youths’ physical and mental health—and only by working together can we move forward toward a healthier America.

Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.S., was the 17th surgeon general of the United States. He advises Planet Fitness on physical and mental health issues.

Four Tips To Help Avoid Damage To Your Hearing When Returning To The Gym With gym traffic returning to levels nearly on par with before the COVID-19 pandemic, many New York State residents may be turning up the effort on their workouts by returning to public fitness facilities with the goal of improving their well-being. Yet turning up the volume on your favorite workout playlist when at the gym could contribute to something else: noise-induced hearing loss.

In fact, a recent study found 19 percent of people age 19 to 29 already experience some degree of hearing loss, while more than 1.1 billion young people in the coming years are at risk of developing hearing problems.

That’s in part due to consistent exposure to loud sounds while doing everyday activities, including listening to music pumped through personal audio devices such as smartphones.

It’s important to note that hearing loss usually develops gradually, often before the person even notices a problem. Once it occurs, hearing loss can’t be repaired like a broken arm or leg, with hearing aids usually the best option for treatment. While our ability to hear generally declines to some degree as we age, noise-induced

AUDIOLOGY CARE

hearing loss in many cases can be prevented.

As more people return to public gyms for the first time since before the pandemic, it’s an ideal reminder that people should limit or avoid exposure to high-decibel noises in all settings. Plus, public fitness centers may present several potentially overlooked sources of loud sounds, so here are four tips to help maintain your hearing health during and after your next gym visit: Invest In Noise-Canceling Headphones And Lower The Volume Earbud headphones are nearly ubiquitous at the gym, and for good reason: Studies show listening

to fast-paced music can actually improve stamina and boost mood.

But the prolonged use of earbuds— especially at high volume—can damage hearing cells.

Even more concerning, health clubs are often loud places to begin with, prompting some people to further crank up the volume on their digital devices to drown out the background noise.

Instead, people should opt for noise-canceling earbuds or overthe-ear headphones and follow the 60/60 rule, which means limiting earbuds to 60 minutes at a time at 60 percent of the player’s maximum volume. For help, some smartphones include “safe listening” features, including software that tracks the level and duration of the user’s exposure to sound.

Protect Your Hearing During Group Fitness Classes Fitness classes such as spinning or cross-training are great ways to stay motivated and research shows working out in a group offers additional health benefits compared to going solo. But high-intensity fitness classes often play music exceeding 95 decibels, which is a level that can—over time—contribute to hearing loss. The risk is even greater for fitness-class instructors due

to consistent exposure to loud music over many years. In fact, one study found that fitness-class instructors experience higher rates of hearing loss than the broader population. A potential solution: Some clubs make available free foam earplugs for class attendees or you can bring a reusable pair to help provide protection. When selecting your spot for class, look for locations as far away as possible from the speakers. Many smartphones and fitness trackers have sound meter apps, which can help you evaluate noise levels at the gym and in other settings.

Post-Workout Recovery Most people agree that eating a balanced diet is a key component to a successful fitness regimen.

Loading up on healthy foods, such as fruits and vegetables, can also contribute to hearing health.

That’s because foods rich in potassium, zinc and magnesium— such as bananas, spinach and yogurt—can provide important nutrients to help maintain hearing health as people age. The inner ear is a delicate organ that needs nourishing fuel to thrive and function properly.

Testing And Treatment For the 48 million people with

some degree of hearing loss, it is important to seek care, given people who delay treatment for this condition are at greater risk of falls, dementia and depression. If you or a loved one are experiencing signs of hearing loss, including turning up the volume on the TV to levels that others find too loud, trouble hearing people on the phone and difficulty following conversations in noisy environments, start with an online hearing test. If needed, an in-person appointment can follow, with the option to have custom-programed hearing aids delivered to your doorstep and adjusted virtually through a smartphone. Such programs can help make access to hearing aids more convenient and affordable, offering people significant savings compared to devices sold through traditional channels.

Consistent exercise is important to maintaining physical and mental well-being. By following these tips, you can reap the potential health benefits of exercise while reducing the risk of noise-induced hearing loss.

Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly recently announced that a former New York City police officer was sentenced to up to four years in prison for firing several shots into the ocean in Long Beach, from a weapon that was in his possession illegally, in March 2021.

David Afanador, 41, of Long Beach, pleaded guilty before Judge Robert Bogle on March 22, to a charge of criminal possession of a firearm (an E felony). The defendant was sentenced to 1⅓ to 4 years in prison.

“This defendant knew he could not legally possess a firearm, but still made the decision to drink with friends on a beach and recklessly fire a loaded gun several times into the ocean,” Donnelly said.

“Afanador’s behavior was foolish, dangerous, and illegal. We hope that his sentence sends a message to anyone thinking about illegally discharging a weapon in Nassau County in the name of fun.”

Donnelly said that on March 21, 2021, Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) officers responded to a call of several shots fired near Franklin Boulevard and Ocean Beach

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

Everclear Brings Its World Of Noise On The Road

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

f there’s one phrase to describe Art Alexakis in relation to his musical career arc it would be that of a late bloomer.

It was in 1992 when the L.A. native recorded a demo for what would become his group’s 1993 full-length debut World of Noise. Time apparently flies when you’re having fun because Alexakis is out on the road supporting the 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of this formerly out-of-print release. The new version contains six bonus songs including the previously unreleased “Drunk Again” and “Nervous & Weird 2001 Remix” and is currently only available on streaming platforms. A vinyl-only version will be available for release later in the year.

And while 30 is a nice round milestone number, Alexakis admits the decision to reissue World of Noise was the end result of some decluttering.

“While I knew it was the 30th anniversary, [reissuing it] really wasn’t in the forefront of my mind despite it being out of print for a while and not being [available] on any platforms,” he said “But in January, me and Freddy Herrera, my bass player at the time, were going through the storage and some boxes I hadn’t dealt with for years. I kept moving them from space to space. I found all these tapes and the original four-track master and mixed tapes for World of Noise.

I had them baked and also found a bunch of other tapes that weren’t even in boxes and didn’t even have names on them. I took those to this guy to bake them. I found the original tapes for all those bonus tracks. I never did like the mastering that they did when it went to Capitol.”

Going back 30 years in time might prove to be an awkward exercise for some artists, not unlike revisiting old yearbook photos or journal entries, but for the sexuagenarian

singer-songwriter, it was more about presenting the band’s earlier work on his terms.

“There is a song on the Everclear page that everyone’s freaking out about called ‘Deep In and Empty Out,’” he explained.

“It was a [friggin’] sketch. Nobody was supposed to put it out for people to hear. It’s like coming to my house and me half-cooking food and giving it to you. I wouldn’t like it and I wouldn’t do it. It’s hard for [fans] to understand. I don’t want to be a dick to people who like my music. That’s Everclear not nice and (Photo by it’s stupid. But at Ashley Osborn) the same time, I’ll tell you when something is done and it’s representative of what I want you to hear. That’s a long-winded way of saying that World of Noise was a release, and even though it’s got some flaws to it and it’s not where I am know, it is a really amazing document of where we were at that time. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to make that record at the time.”

While Everclear broke at the same time as a number of other Pacific Northwest acts including Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden, the quartet’s trajectory was quite different. Portland was Alexakis’ home base versus Seattle and while labels were swarming to the Jet City to sign bands, Alexakis was making his own

way by sending out the demo that eventually became World of Noise out to labels, radio stations and publishing outlets around the region while working full-time as a graphic artist. His persistence paid off and resulted in an invite to a certain Texas music festival.

“We were just playing in the clubs and we’d have eight people in Portland come see us,” Alexakis recalled. “We were out playing all summer and all fall and I got a chance to make a record in a four-track basement through trading some gear. I told the guys we should go see what we got.

In my mind, if it wasn’t working and nothing special about those recordings—I was just going to cut my losses, move to L.A. and become an A&R guy. That was probably what was going to happen. When I started mixing, I knew there was something there. I sent an early mix of it to SXSW and they called me about two weeks later to say we could showcase and they wanted to know if we could be there in a month and a half. I said yes despite the fact that we didn’t have any money for gas or anything. But I figured it out, dude.”

Fast forward to the present and Everclear is on the road with fellow ‘90s peers Fastball

and The Nixons. As someone who can still wax rhapsodic about hearing Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith and the Pixies for the first time, Alexakis is all about keeping it fast and loose on stage when asked what fans can expect when they come out to see the band.

“If you’re never seen Everclear before, live, we’ve never sounded like our pop hits,” he said. “We play them but they’re more rock. I never thought studio and live were supposed to be the same thing. They’re supposed to have their own flavor to it. That’s the age I grew up with.”

As someone who has weathered plenty of rough times, from drug and alcohol addition to a 2019 multiple sclerosis diagnosis and an early 2021 bout with COVID-19 that had his symptoms flair up and put him in the hospital for two months, resiliency and optimism remains Alexakis’ primary superpowers.

“My mom taught me to grab a hold of something, sink your teeth into it and just not let go,” he said. “I’m 60 now and talking 30 years of music and a band and going to play shows where people are still buying tickets to come see me play and sing my songs. I’m full of gratitude brother. I’m serious. I’m sober.

My program is strong. I’m doing everything in my power to be better with my disease. I don’t ever want to be in a wheelchair. I want to live 20 or 30 years as best I can. What’s going to happen? I don’t know. But it ain’t gonna happen if I don’t try.”

Everclear will be appearing with Fastball and The Nixons on July 15 at The Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts, 71 E. Main St., Patchogue, Visit www.patchoguetheatre.com or call 631207-1313.

Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis

uvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a form of arthritis in children.

Arthritis causes joint swelling (inflammation) and joint stiffness. JIA is arthritis that affects one or more joints for at least six weeks in a child age 16 or younger. Unlike adult rheumatoid arthritis, which is ongoing (chronic) and lasts a lifetime, children often outgrow JIA. But the disease can affect bone development in a growing child.

THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF JIA: Systemic onset JIA This type affects one or more joints.

There is often a high fever and a skin rash.

It may also cause inflammation of internal organs, including the heart, liver, spleen and lymph nodes. It is the least common type. It affects 1 in 10 to about 1 in 7 children with JIA. Oligoarticular JIA This type affects one to four joints in the first six months of disease. If no more joints are affected after six months, this type is called persistent. If more joints are affected after 6 months, it is called extended.

Polyarticular JIA This type affects five or more joints in the first six months of disease. Blood tests for rheumatoid factor (RF) will show if this type is RF-positive or RF-negative.

Enthesitis-related JIA With this type, a child has arthritis as well as enthesitis. This is a swelling of the tissue where bone meets a tendon or ligament. It often affects the hips, knees and feet.

Psoriatic arthritis With this type, a child may have both arthritis and a red, scaly skin disease called psoriasis. Or a child may have arthritis and two or more of the following: • Inflammation of a finger or toe • Pits or ridges in fingernails • A first-degree relative with psoriasis • Undifferentiated arthritis. This is arthritis that has symptoms of 2 or more JIA types above. Or the symptoms might not match any type of JIA. JIA is an autoimmune disease. This means the body’s immune system attacks its own healthy cells and tissues. JIA is caused by several things. These include genes and the environment. This means the disease can run in families, but can also be triggered by exposure to certain things.

JIA is linked to part of a gene called HLA antigen DR4. A person with this antigen may be more likely to have the disease.

Symptoms may appear during episodes (flare-ups). Or they may be ongoing (chronic). Each child’s symptoms can vary, from swollen joints, eye inflammation, fatigue, fever, rash and more. These symptoms can seem like other health

conditions.

Diagnosing JIA may be difficult. There is no single test to confirm the disease.

Your child’s healthcare provider will take your child’s health history and do a physical exam. Your child’s provider will ask about your child’s symptoms and any recent illness. JIA is based on symptoms of inflammation that have occurred for 6 weeks or more.

The goal of treatment is to reduce pain and stiffness, and help your child keep as normal a lifestyle as possible.

Treatment will depend on your child’s symptoms, age, and general health.

It will also depend on how severe the condition is.

Help your child manage his or her symptoms by sticking to the treatment plan. This includes getting enough sleep. Encourage exercise and physical therapy and find ways to make it fun. Work with your child’s school to make sure your child has help as needed. Work with other caregivers to help your child take part as much possible in school, social and physical activities.

Your child may also qualify for special help under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. You can also help your child find a support group to be around with other children with JIA. —Johns Hopkins Medicine (johnshopkins.org)

Cord Blood Banking Expecting a baby can be a very exciting time for soon-to-be-parents. It can also be very confusing, with many decisions to make. One choice prospective parents often face is whether to donate, bank or discard their baby’s cord blood.

Did you know that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates cord blood? Here is some information for expectant parents about the regulations in place designed to help ensure the safety of cord blood for transplantation.

What is cord blood?

Cord blood is the blood contained in the placental blood vessels and umbilical cord, which connects an unborn baby to the mother’s womb. Cord blood contains hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs).

At birth, cord blood can be collected (or “recovered”) from the umbilical cord.

What are the options for cord blood banking?

Cord blood can be donated to a public cord blood bank, where it will be stored for potential future use by anyone who may need it. Alternatively, parents may arrange for the cord blood to be stored in a private cord bank, for potential use if it is later needed for treatment of the child from whom it was recovered, or for use in first- or second-degree relatives.

How does FDA regulate cord blood stored for personal or family use?

Cord blood stored for personal use and for use in first- or second-degree relatives that also meets other criteria in FDA’s regulations does not require approval before use. Private cord banks must still comply with other FDA requirements, including establishment registration and listing, donor screening and testing for infectious diseases (except when used for the original donor), reporting and labeling

requirements, and compliance with current good tissue practice regulations.

Are there any FDA approved uses for cord blood?

Cord blood can be used in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation procedures in patients with some disorders affecting the hematopoietic (blood forming) system. For example, cord blood transplants have been used to treat patients with certain blood cancers and some inherited metabolic and immune system disorders.

Does FDA inspect facilities that store cord blood?

Yes. Registered establishments are subject to FDA inspection to ensure they are complying with the regulations.

The inspections of private banks are designed to ensure prevention of infectious disease transmission.

Where can I get more information about donating my baby’s cord blood?

To make your baby’s cord blood available for use by anyone who needs a cord blood transplant, you may donate it to a public cord blood bank.

Where can I get more information about banking my baby’s cord blood?

To make your baby’s cord blood available for use by the child from whom it was recovered, or for use in first- or second-degree relatives, you may bank it with a private cord blood bank. For some diseases, such as genetically heritable diseases, in the event that your child would need treatment, it is possible that the cord blood would not be recommended for such use.

nderstanding hepatitis is a bit like learning about alphabet soup.

Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. The term does not in any way imply the reason or cause that the liver is inflamed. Inflammation of the liver does not mean that the liver is big or swollen. In fact, most people with hepatitis have normal sized or small livers.

We classify hepatitis by what the causes are. The most common cause of hepatitis are viruses. These viruses are named, by convention, for letters of the alphabet, for example hepatitis A, hepatitis B, etc. These viruses are not related in any way other than causing inflammation of the liver. Other conditions such as COVID, autoimmune disease, alcohol use and hereditary conditions may also cause hepatitis.

Medications, illicit drugs, herbal treatments and overthe-counter natural remedies are common causes of hepatitis. Examples of common medications known to cause inflammation of the liver include

Alphabet Soup

THE SPECIALIST

David Bernstein, MD

atorvastatins (Lipitor), ibuprofen, antibiotics and acetaminophen. Examples of natural medications causing hepatitis include chaparral leaf, valerian, skullcap, mistletoe, germander, kava kava, Jin Bu Huan and pyrrolizidine alkaloids.

Let’s talk for a moment about the different hepatitis viruses.

Hepatitis A is a common virus causing hepatitis. It is transmitted from hand to mouth. This is the virus we often read about which may occur in sporadic

outbreaks at such venues as restaurants or cruise ships. It is common in the summer when people eat outdoors and food may have been left in the sun.

After a single exposure, almost all people fully recover and develop a lifelong immunity to reinfection. A vaccine is available for those not previously exposed.

Hepatitis B infections appear to be decreasing in the United States. This is a disease which is usually transmitted through contaminated blood products, sex or drugs. Routine vaccination of all children is now the law in the United States. This should lead to even further decreases in the number of new cases. Hepatitis B is not a single virus but a family of viruses. At least seven subtypes or genotypes of hepatitis B have been described and these genotypes, named A through G, seem to influence the outcome of infection. Genotypes A and C are most common. Most AsianAmericans are infected with genotype C. Genotype C is more frequently associated with the

development of cirrhosis and liver cancer. There is treatment, but for hepatitis B but there is no cure.

Hepatitis C is usually transmitted by some sort of blood-to-blood contact such as intravenous drug use, intranasal cocaine use, previous blood transfusions or other high-risk behavior. New cases of hepatitis C are on the rise. Hepatitis C remains common on the south shore of Long Island, especially in Suffolk County. Hepatitis C is also not a single virus but rather a family of viruses termed “genotype.” All genotypes of hepatitis C are curable with simple, easy to take and highly effective oral treatments.

Hepatitis D is uncommon and is associated with hepatitis B infection. Hepatitis D is transmitted in the same fashion as hepatitis B. Of all the hepatitis viruses, it is the one most likely to progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Treatments for hepatitis D are currently under study.

Hepatitis E appears to be increasing in frequency in the US. It is transmitted via the fecal-oral

route, like hepatitis A. Hepatitis E infections have been linked to raw or undercooked pork or game meat. Most infections are self-limited and no specific treatments are available.

What is really important is to understand that all causes of hepatitis are not created equal.

While most cases are self-limited and do not cause long-term damage, certain viruses, alcohol, autoimmune disease, hereditary disease and even medications can lead to the development of liver failure, cirrhosis and its complications, as well as liver cancer. We can prevent hepatitis A, B and D with vaccination. Alcohol related hepatitis can be prevented by limiting or avoiding alcohol. We can use alternative and complementary medicines with the right degree of caution. The more we understand these conditions and seek care when appropriate, the less likely that hepatitis will cause long-term damage to the liver.

left lip and cleft palate are openings or splits in the upper lip, the roof of the mouth (palate) or both. Cleft lip and cleft palate result when facial structures that are developing in an unborn baby don’t close completely.

Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common birth defects. They most commonly occur as isolated birth defects but are also associated with many inherited genetic conditions or syndromes.

Having a baby born with a cleft can be upsetting, but cleft lip and cleft palate can be corrected. In most babies, a series of surgeries can restore normal function and achieve a more normal appearance with minimal scarring.

Usually, a split (cleft) in the lip or palate is immediately identifiable at birth.

Cleft lip and cleft palate may appear as: • A split in the lip and roof of the mouth (palate) that affects one or both sides of the face • A split in the lip that appears as only a small notch in the lip or extends from the lip through the upper gum and palate into the bottom of the nose • A split in the roof of the mouth that doesn’t affect the appearance of the face

Less commonly, a cleft occurs only in the muscles of the soft palate (submucous cleft palate), which are at the back of the mouth and covered by the mouth’s lining. This type of cleft often goes unnoticed at birth and may not be diagnosed until later when signs develop.

A cleft lip and cleft palate are usually noticed at birth, and your doctor may start coordinating care at that time. If your baby has signs and symptoms of a submucous cleft palate, make an appointment with your child’s doctor.

Cleft lip and cleft palate occur when tissues in the baby’s face and mouth don’t fuse properly. Normally, the tissues that make up the lip and palate fuse together in the second and third months of pregnancy. But in babies with cleft lip and cleft palate, the fusion never takes place or occurs only part way, leaving an opening (cleft).

Researchers believe that most cases of cleft lip and cleft palate are caused by an interaction of genetic and environmental factors. In many babies, a definite cause isn’t discovered.

The mother or the father can pass on genes that cause clefting, either alone or as part of a genetic syndrome that includes a cleft lip or cleft palate as one of its signs. In some cases, babies inherit

a gene that makes them more likely to develop a cleft, and then an environmental trigger actually causes the cleft to occur.

Several factors may increase the likelihood of a baby developing a cleft lip and cleft palate, including: • Family history. Parents with a family history of cleft lip or cleft palate face a higher risk of having a baby with a cleft.

• Exposure to certain substances during pregnancy. Cleft lip and cleft palate may be more likely to occur in pregnant women who smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol or take certain medications.

• Having diabetes. There is some evidence that women diagnosed with diabetes before pregnancy may have an increased risk of having a baby with a cleft lip with or without a cleft palate.

• Being obese during pregnancy. There is some evidence that babies born to obese women may have increased risk of cleft lip and palate.

• Males are more likely to have a cleft lip with or without cleft palate. Cleft palate without cleft lip is more common in females. In the United States, cleft lip and palate are reportedly most common in Native Americans and least common in

African-Americans.

Children with cleft lip with or without cleft palate face a variety of challenges, depending on the type and severity of the cleft, including difficulty feeding, ear infections, hearing loss, dental problems and speech difficulties.

Roly-poly Bugs: Misunderstood Who hasn’t seen a roly-poly bug in the dirt and given it a quick touch to see it form itself into a little ball? That process that has entertained kids—and adults—for generations is a defense mechanism for the bugs, and it has a special name: conglobation, which is a big, fancy word that means “to form into a ball.”

And while this ability to conglobate may be the most entertaining thing about these tiny critters—and where the term roly-poly comes from – there’s much more to them than that.

This home at 89 Robby Ln. on the border of New Hyde Park in Manhasset Hills sold on June 27 for $1,175,000. It is located within the Herricks School District on a quiet street and is in super mint condition.

It has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The backyard is lush, large and flat. It has gas heat and central air conditioning. The home has hardwood floors throughout, a finished basement and a two-car attached garage.

They go by many names

Roly-poly is a common nickname for these creatures, but it’s certainly not the only name they go by. Some people call them wood shrimp or doodlebugs, and in England they have dozens of nicknames, including chiggypigs, penny sows and cheesybugs.

The official name for these creatures is pillbug. They are also sometimes called woodlice, because they are often found under logs. Pillbugs are sometimes also referred to as sowbugs, although they are two separate species, according to the University of Florida. One key difference between pillbugs and sowbugs is that pillbugs can roll themselves into a ball, while sowbugs cannot.

They’re not bugs

That’s right, pillbugs aren’t insects. They are actually crustaceans, which means they are more closely related to shrimp, crabs and crayfish than they are to the ants and other insects that inhabit the same soil. Roly-polies are terrestrial crustaceans and the only crustaceans that have adapted to living entirely on land, according to the University of Kentucky’s College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.

They have a job to do

Location...location...location. This home at 102 Stratford Rd. in New Hyde Park is truly an investor’s delight, full of endless possibilities. This home sold on June 30 for $660,000. It is a spacious four bedroom Cape-style home that has two bathrooms. It has hardwood floors. The gas burner and roof were renovated in 2016. It has a detached garage. The home is located within the desirable Herricks School District and is close to highways, shopping and transportation.

Pillbugs are scavengers, and they mainly eat decaying plant matter and other decomposing material. They serve as decomposers, breaking down decaying material through eating it and then returning the nutrients to the soil, Sciencing reports.

Because they are sensitive to environmental changes, pillbugs are also considered a biological indicator, providing information about the health of the ecosystems in which they are found.

Phase 1 of the Gas Bill Relief Program provides customers with active accounts who are currently enrolled in the Energy Affordability Program (“EAP”) or who enroll in the EAP on or before December 31, 2022, or who received benefits from New York State Emergency Rental Assistance Program or the Home Energy Assistance Program – Regular Arrears Supplement program, a one-time bill credit for any arrears balance on their bill as of and prior to a bill date of May 1, 2022. The PSC Order also establishes the Arrears Management Program (“AMP”) Surcharge to recover costs of these bill credits.

In addition, the PSC has approved an alternative recovery mechanism to recover deferrals of unbilled fees that resulted from laws enacted during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The PSC Order also establishes the Late Payment Charge and Other Waived Fees (“LPCO”) Surcharge to recover associated lost revenues.

It was an overnight train, so we slept through most of it. But once we got there, we were confronted with the same problem of trying to find a car to take us to our Airbnb, but it eventually worked out.

Unexpectedly, the cabin we rented from Airbnb was part of a motel complex

my grandmother. I even took a trip to the Dominican Republic with my mom a few years ago. But, my knowledge of the United States primarily consists of the East Coast.

That’s why my interest was piqued when my good friend, over breakfast this past Halloween, mentioned that she wanted to drive across the country and spend a lot of time doing it. I asked her if I could join and she said yes.

We went through several different documents laying out several different plans. Finally, we had a route. But I began to panic at the thought of driving across the middle of nowhere. That’s why we decided on Amtrak.

We left for our trip the afternoon of July 1, taking the Long Island Rail Road to Penn Station, and then Amtrak to Erie, PA. Something we did not expect was the fact that services like Uber can be hard to come by. We were stuck at the station for about three hours in search of an Uber. Finally, we found one and we got to our Airbnb.

It’s hard traveling the United States without a car. We tried public transportation to go to Presque Isle State Park, but after walking 20 minutes to the bus station, the

overlooking the Erie Lake. It was beautiful there, with a direct view of the nearby Cedar Point Amusement Park. We even had access to a pool.

We spent July 4 at the lake, swimming and we explored a nearby nature preserve. There was so much we wanted to do there, but with our cabin being a two-hour walk to the nearest bus station and Ubers being hard to

So we decided on a place called Ghostly Manor Thrill Center to go roller skating, play mini-golf and check out their other attractions. We couldn’t get an Uber, so we started walking toward town until we found a Dairy Queen. Luckily, we got one and we were able to go. I will always remember Sandusky, OH as the place I learned to roller

This time, I felt confident using the trainer going around and around and eventually, I decided to go without it and only fell about 10 times.

Deciding I didn’t want to sprain my wrist, as I started feeling pins and needles when

I fell, we stopped and got an Uber home to the cabin, where we spent the evening swimming and relaxing before our next adventure.

Around Australia

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As long as people are involved, there’s a possibility of error, not to mention disappoint or even rejection. That’s what makes the risks you take so remarkable. You’ll be admired for your bravery, but by now it’s easy for you. The more you accept yourself, the less you worry about the occasional slights of the world.

Solution: 24 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have learned the ins and outs of a daunting process, and now you’re at ease with the way it works. Having figured out the maze, you’ll help others through it. Your relaxed position allows you to see things as interesting and beautiful. With a little work, you’ll communicate in a relatable way about your experience.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). New environments will bring out a different side of you and do the same for the others around you. The spirit of discovery is afoot.

Fun questions invite surprising answers. No matter how long you’ve known a person, there’s always something new to learn. You’re especially compatible with Libra and Aries these days.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The distant point you see is not your destination, but you can’t make out anything beyond it. That’s OK. Journey to that point, and when you get there, you’ll be able to see farther. Your theories about what you can and can’t do will be incorrect. To find out what you’re capable of, make a commitment and strive for it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have a dependable crew, and they depend on you, too. Even so, you’ll appreciate the autonomy others exhibit and grow from what’s learned in the spaces when you’re apart from one another. You’ll flex your power outside of a relationship and then reconvene. The relationship grows mighty.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Bonds are born of necessity and curiosity.

You’ll start an educational journey. The skill is difficult to obtain, but you’ll add it with practice. Learning within a team will be the fastest, easiest and most complete way. Like soldiers chanting as they march or sailors singing as they row, a group will unite in noise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Take your time getting to know new people. First dates, interviews and the like don’t give you much to go on. Those situations only give you an account of what a person wants to present. To observe someone in action is better. Also, once a person says, “trust me,” you start to have your doubts.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The way you give your love is totally unique to who you are. It’s not something you can explain, define or measure, but you’ll get plenty of evidence that the relationship you have with someone is a thing unto its own, and it makes you feel quite alive indeed! A domestic vision will come together as planned.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You know so much about the world and yet your mind is still open. That’s why your input is vital in a group. You’ll have to poke around a bit for the truth this week, in the name of healing a situation. You’ll figure out how to help people work together. The sunshine pours in and the good times roll.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

The warm, playful air about you attracts others who enjoy living in the same sunny tone. You’ll often be in a protected bubble with people like this, creating your own world for a time as a respite to the harshness of the outside world. Your creative a nd heartfelt needs get answered in your professional life. Changes in your environment or location will facilitate personal success. A new pursuit will show you someplace you can do good in the world. A sense of belonging prevails.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Human interaction involves a million tiny details, and it isn’t possible to get all of them right. Even if you could make one person overwhelmingly satisfied, everyone wants something different. It’s not possible to please everyone, but this week it is absolutely possible to please yourself, and that will be a beautiful start.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

FOR RELEASE WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 2022

By Steve Becker

The vicissitudes of fortune South dealer.

Both sides vulnerable.

NORTH ♠762 ♥ Q 10 9 5 2 ♦AJ8 ♣K 8 WEST EAST ♠ J 10 9 8 4 ♠A53 ♥7 ♥8 3 ♦94 ♦ Q 10 7 2 ♣ 10 7 6 3 2 ♣A Q J 5 SOUTH ♠KQ ♥A K J 6 4 ♦K653 ♣9 4 The bidding: South West North East 1♥ Pass 3♥ Pass 4♥ Opening lead — jack of spades.

It has been said that bridge has all the excitement of war, with only 10 percent of the danger. But in some hands, even the 10 percent can be reduced to zero, as witness this deal played in four hearts.

East won the spade lead with the ace and returned a spade to South’s king. Declarer drew two rounds of trump ending in his hand and then led a low diamond to the jack. East took the queen and returned a spade, ruffed by South.

Declarer now cashed the A-K of

diamonds, hoping the suit would divide 3-3, in which case he would discard a club from dummy on his fourth diamond. But when the diamonds failed to break evenly and East later turned up with the ace of clubs, South had to go down one.

Certainly South was unlucky. He would have made the contract if West had held the queen of diamonds, if the diamonds had divided 3-3, or if West had held the ace of clubs. Nevertheless, declarer should have made the contract despite his bad luck.

He should have started by drawing trump ending in dummy, ruffed dummy’s last spade and then led a low diamond to dummy’s eight!

East would win with the ten but would be endplayed. Whatever he returned — whether a diamond, a club or a spade (if he had one) — would cost his side a trick, as well as the contract.

Nor could West alter the outcome by putting up the nine on the first diamond lead toward dummy.

Declarer would simply cover the nine with the jack, and East would again find himself endplayed.

Indeed, regardless of the actual lie of the opposing cards, the deep diamond finesse reduces declarer’s chance of losing the contract to zero.

Tomorrow: Bad bidding sometimes pays off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll lose your inhibitions in the name of interesting and lively relationships. In the end, keeping everyone amused will be well worth the risk and expense. They’ll flock to you because you’re fun and stick with you because you’re also nurturing and loyal. Your popularity will help you meet a goal.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR EVENT WITH “DON’T SAY GAY” GOVERNOR BETRAYS LGBTQ NEW YORKERS, JEWISH VALUES As members of the Long Island chapter of Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, we are outraged and disappointed by the Tikvah Fund inviting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to speak at the group’s recent conference.

Giving DeSantis a platform for his anti-LGBTQ demagoguery was an insult to New York’s Jewish community, including many Jews who identify as LGBTQ. wAs an organization that purports to represent a segment of the Jewish community, Tikvah’s decision to enable a purveyor of hate speech is utterly inconsistent with Jewish values, bringing shame to the Jewish ethos of justice and compassion.

Tikvah originally scheduled DeSantis to speak at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, who rightfully canceled the event after considerable pushback from Jews and nonJews alike. Instead of reading the room, Tikvah then moved its conference to the heart of New York’s LGBTQ community– during the middle of Pride month, no less.

As Jews, we are obligated to avoid sinat chinam, or groundless hatred. Yet Tikvah insisted on giving its forum to a prominent purveyor of hate speech, thereby both tacitly and actively supporting the governor’s bigoted agenda.

Tikvah claims to value “free speech,” while endorsing a politician who wants to criminalize even the discussion of homosexuality. Free speech cannot be

to peacefully live their own lives; that is another violation of our obligations.

The Torah commands us eight times to love our neighbors as ourselves. Do we deny this compassion to our LGBTQ neighbors, many of whom are Jewish themselves?

Our community continues to stand for the Jewish value of inclusion, and the obligation to love our neighbor as ourselves.

We can only hope that Tikvah will, in the

future, refrain from actions that violate those principles and draw shame upon our community.

—Paula Frome, Barry Nisman, and Joanna Finfer Paula Frome, Barry Nisman, and Joanna Finfer are leaders of the Long Island chapter of Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, a movement of tens of thousands of progressive Jews across the country who are fighting for justice and equality for all.

Taxi Driver(s) Robbed At Gunpoint In Garden City truly free for everyone if it’s absolute–given that absolutism allows for fascist/alt-right ideas to be present, and ultimately thrive.

Objectively, there needs to be an ounce of nuance to weigh when looking at DeSantis as a whole, and ultimately deciding to have him represent that kind of speech for an organization.

As Jews, we know the damage that groundless hatred can cause. Our people have been vilified, ostracized, and targeted throughout history. We are commanded to remember our own pain, and to join in solidarity with those who are likewise targeted. We must not enable those who would bring oppression upon any group of people who wish nothing more than

At approximately 1 a.m. on June 26, a taxi driver was dispatched to Avalon Road for a passenger pick-up. Upon arrival, three men entered the vehicle and began choking, hitting and threatening him with a gun. They then drove the victim in his vehicle to various ATM locations where they withdrew money from his bank account. They exited the vehicle in Hempstead and fled in another vehicle. The investigation by Garden City, Hempstead and Nassau County police is ongoing. NCPD reported a similar incident on June 24 in Garden City Park.
