Plandome Heights Opts Into American Rescue Plan Village will likely invest money into drains

BY JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonnews.com

P

landome Heights Mayor Kenneth C. Riscica and village trustees on gathered on June 28 for a special meeting that would decide whether or not the village would enroll in the American Rescue Plan. The mayor and the trustees ultimately decided to enroll to ensure that Plandome Heights would not miss out on an opportunity to invest in their community.

The American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion stimulus package, was signed into law by President Biden on March 11. Of those monies, $130 billion will be allocated towards local governments.

“I talked to literally almost 100 — over 150 mayors, all governors except one, constantly going over the granular detail of the implementation of this legislation,” Biden had said during his remarks on March 15. “And the effort puts us on a path from crisis to recovery to resurgence.”

With likely $130 billion being allocated from the federal government towards local governments, Plandome Heights, in the span of two years, could receive $110,000.

However, as Riscica pointed out, nothing is promised yet.

According to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, not only can the money local governments receive be used to address revenue losses during the pandemic and recovery thereafter, it will also provide the resources to invest in infrastructure, including water, sewer and broadband services.

Initially, Riscica said he was hesitant to enroll in the America Rescue Plan, as he wasn’t sure such a plan would apply to Plandome Heights.

But he did see the American Rescue Plan as an opportunity to address water and sewer infrastructure in the village.

“I think the [American Rescue Plan] is evolving,” Riscica said, adding that what he read in regards to the plan last month is different than what it is today. “My initial take on this was, this is not for our village. We don’t have first responders, we’re not delivering vaccines. We are not blighted by the experience. Yes, we

is not clear how the town will spend the money just yet.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on local governments and we are so fortunate to have representatives in DC fighting to ensure that we would receive this critical funding,” Bosworth said.

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran on June 29 announced the Nassau County Legislature unanimously passed her proposal to tap $62.9 million in American Rescue Plan monies to invest in an economic recover and community investment package, “Our bipartisan plan will deliver relief for small businesses, revitalize main streets and downtowns, strengthen Nassau’s water and sewer infrastructure while supporting workforce development, senior citizens, veterans and youth,” Curran said via social media. “As we recover from the pandemic, Nassau County is ready to come back stronger than ever.”

Annual Independence Day Tradition Continues In Plandome Adults and children alike were prepared for the race around the Village Green. (Photos by Jennifer Corr)

F

or 99 years, Independence Day in Plandome, in an event hosted by Plandome Association Inc., has been marked by a bicycle parade around the Village Green.

“Last year, we did a much more modified celebration, unfortunately not to this extent,” the Plandome Association Inc. president Jim George said. “We were able to at least commemorate the day last year, despite COVID. But this year we obviously brought it back to the full event.”

Plandome residents were up early and ready at 9 a.m., Sunday, July 4. Tables, blankets and chairs were set up on the Village Green as children practiced for the bicycle parade. Some even decorated their bikes or scooters with American flags and patriotic ribbons.

“It’s one of the best events we do,” George said. “We obviously get lots of residents, neighbors and friends and family participating in the event and it’s just one of the most special things about Plandome.”

The event was kicked off with the bicycle parade, where approximately 30 children, and some adults, lined up to ride around the Village Green for two laps. The participants,

with their parents, friends and family in the crowd, were often unable to hold back their smiles and laughter as they enjoyed the cool, summer morning.

Afterwards, Plandome residents enjoyed the singing of the National Anthem, field games, a water fight where children and adults alike “sprayed their foe with H20” in a game that dates back to 1937, a catered lunch, games and rides, a pet show and then volley ball and bocci. The festivities wrapped up at 5 p.m., where all the residents did their part in the cleanup. Even Uncle Sam, a.k.a. Jeff Kelly, the Plandome Association Inc. vice president, made an appearance.

“This year is very special considering what happened last year,” George said. “I’m glad we are bringing it back.

The weather is cooperating and we have a great day of activities; races, the traditional water fight hosted by the Plandome Fire Department, a full catered lunch, a DJ, a water balloon toss. We have a lot of activities.”

The ultimate goal, George said, is to continue the spirit of the day in Plandome.

“We just want to show what the fourth is about, which is celebrating this great country’s birthday and the privilege we have in celebrating this day together,” George said.

Plandome Association Inc treasurer Meryl Arianas, secretary Christine Sama Walton, Uncle Sam, a.k.a. vice president Jeff Kelly and president Jim George were excited to observe a nearly 100-year-old tradition.

The Plandome Fire Department hosted the traditional water fight.

Participants rushed to get to first place in the race around the Village Green.

Manhasset Park District Celebrates 100th Year Of Service T

The Manhasset Park District celebrated its 100th year of service by planting a Japanese Maple Tree at the Park Avenue Park. Courtesy Manhasset Park District to have dedicated workers.

Much of the current staff has been employed for close to 20 years. Over the years, they have completed many

beautification projects.

The 100th year celebration follows what may have been the hardest year yet. With so many unknowns the

pandemic brought in 2020, the MPD staff continued to perform their duties as essential employees and worked every day to

maintain a beautiful surrounding while people were staying home and local.

In 2020, the MPD was able to create “Heroes’ Plaza”, a local spot to outdoor dine under a shady tree. “Heroes Plaza” is dedicated to the hardworking heroes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Also accomplished in 2020 was the overtaking of the garden landscape at the Manhasset LIRR. A sight for sore eyes for many years has now been transformed into a beautiful landscape that fits right into Manhasset.

Every employee has been crucial to the success of the MPD. Every constituent, merchant and commuter has been important.

Town Reminds Residents About Water Conservation Tips Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board are reminding residents to conserve water and protect sole source aquifers throughout the summer season and all year long.

There are many simple tips residents can follow to help preserve the environment by changing lawn watering habits and implementing some water recycling programs.

“This summer, we would like to remind residents to do their part in helping to preserve our environment by conserving and protecting our water supply,” Bosworth said. “Taking simple and easy steps can reduce water usage and help your family save money at the same time.”

Water restrictions: Under Nassau County regulations, throughout the entire year, residents’ outdoor water usage is restricted to odd number days for odd number

houses and even numbered days for even numbered houses. Additionally, outdoor water usage is not permitted between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.

The town is also airing a PSA talking about the importance of fixing leaky faucets, washing the car at a car wash rather than manually at home and not over watering the lawn during hot summer months. The commercial also encourages residents to purchase items such as shower heads and faucets that have the logo of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Watersense program, of which the town is a partner, in order to cut water use by 20 percent.

The PSA can be viewed on North Hempstead TV on Channel 18 or 63 on Cablevision or Channel 46 on Verizon FIOS. It can also be accessed online at www.mynhtv.com.

AROUND LONG TOPISLAND STORY

All It Takes Is One

No need to be a hurricane to wreak havoc

BY FRANK RIZZO

T

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

he two most destructive weather events in recent history on Long Island weren’t even hurricanes. Sandy (2012) and Isaias (2020) were downgraded to tropical storms by the time they swept over our area, having lost the appellation because their top sustained winds had dropped below 74 mph.

But as residents found out in both cases, a tropical storm can do much damage. Isaias, in early August, left more than 400,000 PSEG-Long Island residents without power, some for more than a week.

The American Red Cross on Long Island hosted a hurricane preparedness press conference at the beginning of the hurricane season at its Mineola headquarters.

Interim CEO Joe Spaccarelli stated, “As we enter what is expected to be another active hurricane season we want to remind our neighbors that now is the time to create or update a family preparedness plan.”

He added, “Long Islanders know all too well it only takes one storm to seriously disrupt our lives.”

Hurricane experts expect 2021 to possibly match 2020, which saw a record number of named storms.

“Last year, extreme weather events created the largest number of billion-dollar disasters to strike the US in one year,” Spaccarelli observed.

“Dozens of Red Cross volunteers from here on Long Island deployed far from home to provide relief across the country. The skills and experiences that they gained responding to these major disasters will be invaluable in the event that there will be a storm here on Long Island.”

He noted that disaster training has been updated and supplies have been replenished in preparation for any upcoming disasters. He called on Long Islanders to join as volunteers to distribute food, water and relief items and also manage and staff emergency shelters to provide help and emotional support and more.

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran thanked the Red Cross “for not only jumping into action when it’s needed, but being preventive and proactive as much as possible.” After acknowledging her Office of Emergency Management Commissioner Steven Morelli, the executive praised the coordination and cooperation across the various agencies and public utilities.

National Grid Downstate NY Gas Field Operations Vice President Aaron Choo thanked the Red Cross “for the tremendous partnership we’ve had over the years and we continue to build on that.” He also included the governments as well as the police and fire departments in the list of partners.

“We do conduct simulated drills over the (course of) the year to include different emergencies,” Choo said. “We filed our New York State emergency plan for the year and we have submitted that to our Public Service Commission.

Following Sandy, we installed the first storm-hardening valve in the country and that will prevent gas from coming into the home in the event of a flood.

There’s a sensor valve that will send a relay back to our gas control to monitor that and in doing so keep the customer safe as well as the infrastructure and reduce the time for restoration.”

PSEG Long Island Transmission & Distribution Vice President John O’Connell, who is also an American Red Cross board member, said his company “has been working aggressively to upgrade our systems and processes and we are ready for this year’s storm. Just as the Red Cross is on the front line of preparedness, PSEG Long Island and its employees are on the front line, helping our neighbors and customers before, during and after the storm.”

He added, “To minimize outages, we have worked hard over the course of seven years to strengthen our infrastructure with new programs and increase maintenance programs.

We’ve storm-hardened more than 450 miles of the power grid on the mainline facilities all the way from the Rockaways to Shelter Island.

Additionally, we trimmed wires and trees to keep clearances and avoid tree damage during storms. We’ve literally trimmed thousands of miles of trees away from our power lines.”

O’Connell concluded, “We have plans to deal with the challenges that the hurricane season may throw at us and we urge everyone, as you heard earlier today, to be ready and to prepare.”

The Red Cross encourages residents to visit www.redcross.org for information on volunteering and preparing an emergency plan and an emergency supply kit.

Affordable Workforce Housing Is Coming Georgica Green Ventures, RXR Realty teams up to provide 55 affordable housing units

BY JENNIFER CORR

jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

ffordable housing developer Georgica Green Ventures President David Green stood before a crowd at a ground breaking event on a blighted, vacant site that will in approximately 18 months become a workforce rental housing development overlooking the Hempstead Habor.

The $30 million, 1.5 acre project will add 55 units of affordable multi-family units to the 56-acre Garvies Point Development by RXR Glen Isle Partners LLC that has been moving in new residents over the past year.

Georgica Green Ventures was selected

by RXR to oversee the new affordable housing project on Dickson Street.

“I just think the will of the people here and the need to get this done is remarkable,” Green, of Port Washington, told the crowd that included City of Glen Cove Mayor Tim Tenke, city councilmembers, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and State Senator Anna Kaplan. “I think it’s a testament to all of the members here sticking with it and allowing us to get to the ceremony of breaking ground.”

Affordable housing is much-needed in Glen Cove. When Village Square, a component of the Garvies Point development that stands in downtown Glen Cove, had 14 affordable units available, 250 applications were submitted. Those who could move into the 14 units were selected via a lottery system.

“These will not sit around too long once you get them going,” Tenke said.

“You look at some other communities that are not doing so well. They are not developing as quickly. Glen Cove is growing. We’re growing by leaps and bounds here. It’s nothing short of being committed to doing so and having the right people involved in that.”

Green’s company, Georgica Green Ventures, since 2012, has created more than 1,000 affordable housing units for New York families, including projects designed for formerly homeless veterans, survivors of domestic violence and senior citizens.

This new project, described by a press release from Georgica Green Ventures, will include the construction of two four-story buildings with a total of 55 rental units. Building A, on the northern portion of the site, is 28,814 square feet with 24 dwelling

Andrew Cuomo said in a press release. “This project will provide critical affordable housing in Glen Cove, while also continuing the city’s ongoing effort to transform this once-underutilized swath of waterfront into a vibrant community.”

The semifinals were decided in the 10th inning of Game 3, when Garden City advanced via a walk-off hit batsman.

For the Generals, JT Raab and Jason Wall earned All County honors. James Eden and Nick Rodriguez were named All Conference and Matt Sarni and Sebastian Loor earned All League awards.

ome join the first ever Empire State Ride Long Island cycling event on Saturday, July 24, to raise money towards innovative cancer research. Catholic Health on Long Island and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo partnered with Empire State Ride Long Island and the Town of Oyster Bay to help fund cancer research including clinical trials, which are some patients’ last hope.

Participants can choose from a 10-, 25-, and 62-mile route through the Town of Oyster Bay. The ride will start and end at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park. Riders will be able to see the beautiful Gold Coast region while helping save lives with their fundraising efforts. Besides the 25-dollar registration fee, riders will commit to fundraising a minimum amount based on their route ($250 for the 10- and 25-mile routes, $350 for the 62-mile route, and $75 for riders under 18 on any route).

Some anticipated speakers include the Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joe Saladino, the CEO of Catholic Health, oncologists and experts on cancer research, and cancer survivors. Two bike shops, Trek Bicycle from Plainview and Bike Rescue will be there to assist the cyclists as well.

Mars believes the event will be a celebration of life and all the good work we are doing to fund. It will be emotional because we will recognize the survivors and those we’ve loved and lost from this horrible disease.

Skin Protection Tips For An Enjoyable Summer

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

Specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

A

s we enter summer, everyone needs to prepare for exposure to skin hazards while enjoying sunny weather and outdoor activities. Dr. Mark Halsey of Halsey Dermatology of Sag Harbor shares his knowledge and recommendations for protecting one’s skin from the dangers and damage this summer.

Halsey has tips for skin conditions that frequently occur during summer months: Protecting the skin from the sun’s harmful ultra violet (UV) radiation: • Keep skin covered as much as possible when out in the sun (wear sun blocking clothing and hats).

• UV light from the sun causes sunburn and damages skin cells. UV light is strongest during the middle part of the day and is lower around sunrise and sunset. Watch weather reports to find out the daily UV index and use this to plan outdoor activities. Know when the sun will be strongest and limit activities during these times and make sure skin is protected.

• Use the proper sunscreen; be mindful of the differences between sunscreen, sunblock and suntan lotion. Use a sunscreen or sunblock product labeled with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 30 or above. Sunblock that provides a “broad spectrum” of coverage (protecting against both UVA and UVB rays) offers better protection. “Suntan lotion” products, since they usually have an SPF of less than 15, are not as effective in terms of protection.

• Reapply sunscreen after swimming, even if the sunscreen is waterproof.

• Use ample amounts of sunscreen to completely cover exposed skin. Use an appropriate amount of sunscreen for protecting the face and neck specifically. Generously spread the sunscreen to all areas of exposed skin.

• Parents should apply sunscreen thoroughly to cover children’s exposed skin. The skin of children is very sensitive. Children’s sunscreen should be put on about 15 to 30 minutes before they go outside. Cover ears, hands, feet, shoulders and behind the neck.

• Apply sun protection each time before venturing outdoors and be prepared to reapply every few hours depending on length of time spent in the sun and product directions.

• Long-term exposure to the sun creates the risk of skin cancer or other

issues. Individuals with lighter skin a plant oil. Moisturizers, calamine tones are more susceptible to getting lotion, hydrocortisone creams and sun burns and sun damage on their short lukewarm baths are some of skin.

• Cover blisters to keep them clean and to prevent them from getting worse.

If pain is severe, swelling occurs or blistered areas look infected then medical attention may be needed.

wimming is one of the best forms of exercise. It’s a full-body workout that’s good for the heart and can make muscles stronger, Dr. Jesse Charnoff, a physiatrist at Hospital for SPecial Surgery (HSS) Long Island in Uniondale, said. Physiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation.

“Energetic swimming burns up to 30 percent more calories than running and about 40 percent more calories than bike riding,” Charnoff said, who also sees patients at HSS in midtown Manhattan. “Swimming is also low impact, so it’s easy on the joints and beneficial for people who have problems such as your muscles by moving your when people come up for air arthritis.” arms and legs.

What to do if you get a muscle cramp Cramps are common and can be dangerous in deep water, limiting the ability to swim.

“Anyone who develops a cramp should make their way carefully and safely to the side of the

pool,” Charnoff said. “They should stop swimming, get out of the water and not go back in until the cramp has gone away.”

Stretching and massaging the cramp could help. If it is not getting better, applying a warm compress. Cramps are often caused by dehydration; swimmers should stay hydrated.

How to talk with your kids about marijuana their peers who might be experimenting.

• Help them understand that making marijuana legal doesn’t make it safe, especially for young people, pregnant women and those driving a car. Alcohol and cigarettes remain legal, yet we know they carry significant health consequences.

Still, be careful not to exaggerate the potential dangers associated with cannabis (comparing it to heroin) and avoid demonizing the drug or those who use it.

• If asked about medical use, it’s fine to acknowledge that cannabis can help with certain conditions and that people generally turn to their doctors for guidance about whether it’s right for them.

• Teens often repeat social media messages proclaiming that, “it’s just a plant.”

Right, but so is poison ivy.

• Clarify your values and convey your expectations.

You have more influence over your kids than anyone

else, including the musician with a bong on Instagram or the kid on the cul-de-sac who vapes weed on the bus.

Use that influence.

• Experimentation is normal.

If your child is caught, this is an opportunity to talk about it, and learn why they decided to try it. Ask questions like, “What happened?” and “What are some of the reasons you used marijuana?” Ask them how they feel about it after the fact.

• If your child is smoking, try to understand what’s driving their decision. Is it social pressure? Curiosity or boredom? Is it a way to cope with stress, anxiety or depression?

Each conversation should convey your unconditional love, support and concern for your child’s well-being.

That’s the very best antidote to marijuana and everything else that puts our kids at risk.

Overweight, Diabetes Lend To Liver Disease Increase Liver disease is on the rise worldwide and it is the fastest growing cause of death in many parts of the world.

Death from liver disease tend to occur in all age groups but it is significantly higher than almost all other causes of death in people ages 35 to 49.

The most common causes of advanced liver disease in this age group are non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcohol associated liver disease. NAFLD is the most common predisposing factor to the development of primary liver cancer in the United States.

The greatest risk factors for the development of fatty liver are being overweight or having pre-diabetes or diabetes. While doctors are good at diagnosing fatty liver, they are not good at staging the disease and there is currently no FDA approved treatment of NAFLD. The current therapies are a combination of diet, exercise and weight loss, or being treated in a

clinical trial, if you are lucky enough to live in proximity of these trials.

Studies are now being performed to determine potential correctable risk factors for the development of NAFLD. The most obvious correctable factor is food insecurity. Food insecurity is defined as the lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life and it refers to a lack of available

financial resources for food.

Food insecurity is not hunger.

It does, however, lead families to purchase less healthy, high fat, high carbohydrate, less expensive meals such as those purchased from the typical fast-food restaurants. Typically, seniors, children, AfricanAmericans and Latinos are most effected by food insecurity. In the United States, one in nine children live under these circumstances. At the most recent International Liver Congress, Kardashian et al. reported on more than 4,800 people with NAFLD who were followed for a mean of seven years.

They found that food insecurity

was independently associated with a higher all-cause mortality and advanced fibrosis, independent of other known risk factors such as age, race/ethnicity, poverty-income ratio, education level, insurance status, hemoglobin A1c, body mass index and smoking.

This important finding brings to the forefront recommendations that to improve health outcomes in patients with NAFLD, the issue of food insecurity should be addressed, especially among children who are more destined to develop advanced liver disease without a healthy, well-balanced diet.

The effect of food in-

security can be extrapolated from children to adults. Years of food insecurity and the ingestion of inexpensive, unhealthy meals not only increases the risk of developing NAFLD and cirrhosis but also increases the risk for the development of medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and joint disease. Putting into place policies addressing food insecurity will help decrease the incidence of cirrhosis, decrease the incidence of primary liver cancer and lessen the need for liver transplantation. It should be less expensive to prevent fatty liver early in life rather than having to deal with its complications and potential long term medical treatments years down the road.

David Bernstein, MD, FAASLD, FACG, AGAF, FACP, is the vice chair of medicine for clinical trials and chief of hepatology at the Sandra Atlas Bass Center for Liver Diseases.

Town Awarded More Than $1M For Repairs To Harbor Hills Park

.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand recently announced $1,007,533 in federal funding to repair the Harbor Hills Park that incurred severe damages during Superstorm Sandy.

The park posed a serious threat to public health and safety after undergoing strong winds, heavy rain, and up to eight feet of storm surge.

This funding was allocated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and will help return Harbor Hills Park to its pre-disaster condition and protect from future natural disasters.

“Harbor Hills Park in Great Neck suffered tremendous damage from Superstorm Sandy. With these funds, North Hempstead will be able to repair the park, a treasured

“We have been fighting tooth and nail to build stronger and more resilient communities in the aftermath of Sandy by delivering federal dollars such as these. I’ll continue to fight for federal funds to give Long Island residents peace

of mind knowing their community is better protected against future weather events exacerbated by climate change.”

“Almost a decade after Superstorm Sandy devastated New York communities, many towns are still recovering from one of the worst

natural disasters in our state’s history,” Senator Gillibrand said. “This funding will support the Town of North Hempstead in repairing remaining storm damage in Harbor Hills Park, so that it can be fully restored and enjoyed by residents and visitors for years to come.”

The Town of North Hempstead was awarded $1,007,533.80 in federal funding for repairs to Harbor Hills Park in order to restore the park back to its pre-disaster condition under Section 406 of the Robert T. Stafford Act. —Submitted by the office of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand

Roslyn Water District Urges Water Conservation This Summer July and August are the peak of the summer’s heat and that means irrigation systems are being utilized more and more. During the hotter summer months, demand for water spikes dramatically within the Roslyn Water District’s (RWD) service territory and across Long Island, causing water consumption and, therefore bills, to nearly triple. This year, water pumpage in Roslyn is up 27.3 percent (roughly 28.3 million gallons) from last year’s irrigation season and over half of the water pumped is unfortunately wasted due to inefficient watering practices. The RWD would like to remind all residents of ways they can cut back on their water use this summer while continuing to maintain a healthy landscape.

“The importance of water conservation during the summer months cannot be

overstated,” Commissioner Michael Kosinski said. “Water usage increases significantly over the summer and much of it is wasted. The best thing residents can do to combat this is to replace their standard irrigation timer with a smart irrigation controller. They are proven to help conserve water while still maintaining healthy lawns and gardens, using just the right amount of water needed to keep properties in top shape.”

Smart controllers replace standard irrigation clock timers and use a Wi-Fi connection to link up with local weather stations to automatically adjust watering schedules based on the forecast. This, in turn, allows the controller to understand how much water the lawn needs, usually one inch of water per week, and cuts down on any unnecessary overwatering.

While it can vary depending

on weather and other factors including the design of your irrigation system, these devices have proven to reduce

The importance of water conservation during the summer months cannot be overstated. Water usage increases significantly over the summer and much of it is wasted.

—Commissioner Michael Kosinki

irrigation consumption by up to 30 percent. This is crucial during warmer months, as over half of the water pumped in the summer is unfortunately wasted due to evaporation, wind and other inefficient

watering practices.

“It is easy for residents to lose track of how much water they are using, especially during the summer,” Commissioner William Costigan said. “By installing a smart irrigation controller, they will never have to worry about whether they are using too much or too little water.

The smart controller does that work for them, ensuring that their lawns are protected while also helping the District meet our conservation goals.”

Because smart irrigation controllers are so effective in conserving water, the District has issued an ordinance that all residents must switch from standard to smart controllers by 2025.

When they make the switch, residents will likely find that the smart controllers pay for themselves within a year of installation. Additionally, the District’s “Save 2” campaign

encourages residents to cut back their irrigation timers by two minutes per zone every time they water. This can help them save an average of 10 percent on their annual irrigation water usage.

“Everything the Roslyn Water District does is for the betterment of our community,” Commissioner Sanford Klein said. “By encouraging water conservation, we are helping our neighbors do everything they can to preserve our precious water supply while making things easier on their wallets. We hope to see our community fully transitioned to smart controllers soon so we can continue striving toward our conservation objectives.”

machetes by Ponce and other members of MS-13.

Lemus’ body was found on May 24, 2019, in a shallow grave inside the Massapequa Preserve by members of the Nassau County Police Department’s Homicide Bureau during a canvass of the area. Ponce was arrested by the NCPD on September 17, 2019 following the investigation.

In January 2020, Ponce, along with three other MS-13 members (Christian Rodrigues, aka Estricto, of Hempstead; Jeustin David Maldonado, aka Muerte, of Uniondale; Gerson Stanley Juarez, aka Angel Black, and Siniestro, of Hempstead) were indicted for their part in Lemus’ murder by then-NCDA Madeline Singas. All four were charged with first- and second-degree conspiracy and second-degree murder.

In the past decade, MS-13 has been responsible for homicides in Central Islip, Freeport and the additional 2017 Massapequa Preserve murder of Julio Cesar Espantzay-Gonzales by 26-yearold gang member Antonio Cullal, who pled guilty to second-degree murder and second-degree conspiracy last month. Smith said that Carlos Portillo and Robert Abrego-Reyes ordered the murder because Espantzay-Gonzales, like Lemus before him, was perceived to be an enemy of the gang. Cullal faces up to life in prison when sentenced on Aug. 10.

Jared Rosenblatt, Chief of the Homicide Bureau, is prosecuting the Ponce case with assistance from Katie Zizza, Deputy Chief of the Vehicular Crimes Bureau, and Patrick Brand, Senior Investigative Counsel in the Major Crimes Bureau. The defendant is represented by Dennis Lemke, Esq. What did you think of this article? Share your thoughts with me by email at: dgilderubio@anton mediagroup.com

COSMETIC SURGERY TODAY STEPHEN T. GREENBERG, M.D., F.A.C.S. DOMINATES NY PLASTIC SURGERY

WE USE CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY Now more than ever, we can count on the latest, exciting technology to help achieve the best possible cosmetic surgery results. We are each confronted by the media with hundreds of alternatives to helping improve our appearance, regain our youth and tone up our bodies.

The reality is that the true secret to maintaining a youthful look is paying attention to the basic issues that you can control – getting adequate sleep, drinking plenty of water, watching your diet and finding the time to exercise.

What many of us find, however, is that this quest for beautiful skin and a beautiful body can be quite frustrating. We can help you obtain the look that you are striving for by using the available advancements in technology to assist you in attaining your goals.

If you are interested in looking thinner and shapelier, consider Dr. Greenberg’s revolutionary Plasma Lipo™, a perfect combination of body contouring procedures. Plasma Lipo™ is a liposuction system that offers a revolutionary and minimally invasive procedure for the removal of fat with less downtime and fewer side effects than traditional liposuction. It is performed utilizing plasma technology to obtain better skin

retraction resulting in a tighter abdomen, thighs, arms, chest and neck.

The newest technology for hair restoration is NeoGraft, which is the first and only Class One FDA Listed automated medical system for hair restoration. This system harvests, collects, and implants individual follicular grafts for a natural look. Follicular unit extraction is an advanced, minimally-invasive hair transplant method which allows for the harvesting of individual follicles from the donor area without a scalpel incision or the necessary stitches, and therefore leaves no linear scar. Results are natural and permanent hair growth. Neograft can be performed with PRP Therapy for more dramatic results.

Another avenue to consider when pursuing your desire to look younger are “injectables”, which are effective in reducing lines and wrinkles on the face, without surgery. Botox and Dysport as well as dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane will provide a refreshed and more youthful look quickly.

What better time than now to work on getting ready for your ideal shape?

Remember, the perfect cosmetic surgery package can help create the perfect you.

This newly renovated, four-bedroom, two full bathroom, ranch in the prime Seton Hills section of Old Bethpage, at 8 Cedar Drive South, sold on June 7 for $828,000. It has a beautiful modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, duel fuel oven and granite countertops, spacious living and dining room leading to a gorgeous sizable backyard, with new retaining wall, deck, fence, sprinkler system, fire pit area and children’s play yard. It has a brand new water filter, heating system and central air conditioning. This home is close to shopping, transportation, state park trails and is located in the Plainview-Old Bethpage School District.

ith temperatures reaching 90 degrees and higher in the past two weeks, PSEG Long Island is prepared for the extreme heat and encourages its customers to be ready as well.

PSEG continues to expect to have enough electric capacity to meet customer demand for the high temperatures and high humidity. While there are no capacity concerns, PSEG will be activating its voluntary Smart Savers Thermostat program to reduce loading on the system and create future savings for customers.

PSEG’s program saves participants money this year and potentially lowers customers’ bills next summer. PSEG must purchase power in advance, basing the amount on load forecasts and state-mandated capacity requirements that incorporate peak-usage levels from previous years.

By reducing peak usage this year, the company lowers the amount of power that must be purchased in advance for next summer.

To limit the impact of hot weather and better manage electric usage, use power as efficiently as possible to keep cool and keep energy

costs down.

PSEG recommends The following tips for their customers: • Run major appliances such as washers, dryers, dishwashers and pool pumps in the morning or late evening to avoid peak demand hours of 2 to 8 p.m.

• Put air conditioners on timers and don’t let them run when no one is home • Set air conditioners at 78 degrees or higher if health allows • Use fans to circulate cool air, which helps cut down air conditioner use • Make sure you have replaced filters and that A/C coils are clean • Set refrigerators and freezers at most efficient temperatures • Charge electric vehicles during overnight hours whenever possible High temperatures and high electric demand can sometimes cause scattered, heat-related outages. PSEG has resources available and will address outages as quickly and safely as possible. Customers who experience an outage should call 800-490-0075.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR THANKS FOR DELIVERING

We all faced a trying period over the last 15 months with the pandemic restricting many of our daily activities, including those affecting our health.

With many gyms closing down or severely restricting hours and activities, our options for exercise were limited primarily to the outdoors.

Several years ago, many local Pickleball players requested that Glen Cove provide a dedicated court for

the game. After an extended period of inaction by others, Mayor Tenke stepped in and got the job done within weeks.

Since then, the sport has grown faster than any other sport and many new players have come on board and play regularly.

We needed additional courts to accommodate the ever-growing PB community and after waiting most of last

year to get lines painted for two PB courts on one of the tennis courts at Stanco, the job was done.

The local PB community would like to thank several people for their efforts, including members of the Departments of Public Works and Youth Services and Recreation, Terry Daley, Jim Klimasewci and Tomaso and others who may have been involved. We would also

like to thank Spiro Tsirkas, executive director of Youth and Services, who is a very welcome change in leadership in that department and Councilman John Perrone for their relentless efforts to get it done.

The three courts are now used daily by many Pickleball players. Thank you for delivering and caring about our health during this difficult time.

Mid-Year Thoughts It is the middle of the year, which is already going too fast. It seems that this is a good time to look back at the past six months and maybe even further back after suffering such a horrendous period. So much has happened to me during that time that I thought it was worthwhile to make some random observations.

Be safe. I know the COVID-19 scare is dying down, but should we all throw caution to the winds and never wear a mask again? I will generally stop using a mask outdoors, but if I am going indoors to a supermarket or other place of necessity, I will bring the mask with me. There are still quite a few people out there who never got vaccinated and I don’t have to stand on a checkout line and be their closest friend.

Avoid political discussions.

To the best of my recollection, the election ended last November. According to all legitimate sources, Joseph R. Biden was elected president

The Oxygen Mask Rule For Relationships You hear it every time the flight crew review the safety plan on an airplane—you must first secure your oxygen mask before assisting others in need.

An important rule outlining the necessity of protecting your oxygen flow so that you remain conscious and thus capable of aiding others is the perfect analogy for the care necessary when involved in a relationship. We must protect our own emotional health and well-being to be able to support our partners. If we suffer, so will our relationships.

It is important to note that I do not mean you should solely focus on yourself, excluding your partner from consideration, but rather include, and at times prioritize, your health and needs. This will also help you to be a better partner.

Self-awareness is an important component of interpersonal relationships, as partners must have a strong understanding of their individual needs, values,

Below are tips for prioritizing yourself in a way that will enable you to enhance your relationships:

goals and boundaries. For those looking to find a partner or create more intimate friendships, an important part of being able to create and cement a bond with another involves having an understanding of the self.

Many will counter by noting that to form a connection with another, one must be selfless and that focusing inward is inherently selfish. However, I contend that in order to be present, engaged and able to give and receive love in any

Spending time alone to engage in activities that you enjoy or to explore something new will allow you the space and freedom to hone your skills and cultivate your interests. Whatever you choose to do, you can certainly share the experience with your partner. However, having your own space to experiment and engage with hobbies, skills and interests can provide you with additional information about yourself as a person and learner, enhance your self-worth and increase your autonomy and independence.

Create a List of Personal Goals While many partners create

Self-awareness is an important component of interpersonal relationships, as partners must have a strong understanding of their individual needs, values, goals and boundaries exploration of their individual goals. Whether it’s pursuing your education, opening a store, having a large family or traveling the world, sharing your vision with your partner is important, as is giving yourself the time and space needed to reflect on what you want and what will leave you feeling fulfilled.

Practice Self-Care Self-care is an important part of our overall psychological and physiological health. Dealing with the stresses of everyday life on top of a worldwide pandemic has created a feeling of uneasiness and anxiety for many. Self-care activities, such as taking a day to relax, be out in nature, exercise, turn up the music and dance, etc., are helpful in allowing us to pause, be present and focus on taking care of ourselves.

Nurturing your relationship by being mindful of your partner’s needs is extremely important. However, focusing on the “we” at the expense of the “me” can be problematic. Remember that caring for the self can serve to strengthen the relational bond.

Whenever I See Your Smiling Face Something seemed off, but I just couldn’t put my finger on it.

I ran into 7-11 to get a Mountain Dew watermelon-flavored Slurpee following an acupuncture treatment.

The large green and white sign pasted to the window was touting a special price of just $1 for a small. That’s my favorite sized Slurpee. I take too long to finish a 16-oz medium and it usually turns Paul DiSclafani pdisco23@aol.com into sugar water. I honestly don’t know how others handle (Photo 32-ounces of tiny ice particles by infused with high sugar levels. slgckgc/ CC 2.0) I guess brain freeze affects people differently.

Removing the small cup from the holder, I snapped on the plastic bubble top and maneuvered the container into the proper position under the spout. Of course, like a Slurpee veteran, you always check the little window with the constantly spinning chopper to ensure it displays the proper mix of liquid and ice.

without one. I wasn’t trying to make a political statement. I just forgot.

Until recently, when approaching any business without my mask, I immediately returned to my car to grab one, cursing silently all the way there. Usually, the sign on the door is enough to jog my memory, but not this time.

I just casually strode inside without a care in the world, like it was 2019 or something.

I continued filling my one-dollar Slurpee cup, even though I was mask-less. I grabbed the correct spoontipped straw after discarding two others that were carelessly placed in the wrong bin.

Heading towards the checkout line, I noticed the clerk behind the counter had a mask on, which was not unusual and felt a little self-conscious.

Then I saw four of the five people ahead of me on the line were also mask-less.

I obediently took my place on the mandated socially distanced circle on the ground and glanced around. I saw

a mask-less young woman in desperate need of a sip of coffee, frantically trying to extricate one of the covers from the top of the pile. It was easy to see the frustration on her face as the cover seemed to be glued to the others and undetachable. Finally, her expression changed to satisfaction. She had pried the lid from its sticky predicament, attached it to her cup and finally sipped from the tiny hole near the edge. Ah, the nectar of the Gods.

There was a father with two young children struggling to decide on what color Slurpees to choose. When finished, you could plainly see the smiles on their faces along with relief on the fathers. Of course, that all changed when little Billy dropped his “blue” Slurpee while trying to insert the spoon-straw.

When asked by the clerk about a bag for his items, instead of hearing a muffled response from the guy in front of me, I heard a loud and clear, “No thanks.” After

several decades of listening to loud rock and roll music, I know my hearing isn’t what it once was. Still, I’m getting better at lipreading to help. To be honest, trying to figure out what people are saying from behind their masks was getting more difficult for me. Unlike Superman, I don’t have x-ray vision.

It’s great that we seem to have turned the corner on this pandemic and are starting to gather in public places again.

People are attending sporting events, going to the movies, and listening to live music again.

Friday night, we were part of a packed local bar to see a band playing classic rock music.

People were laughing and talking and dancing. But most of all, they were smiling.

And the best part was, now we could all see them smile again.

GRADUATES CELEBRATE THEIR SEAFORD PRIDE The 64th graduating class of Seaford High School had a senior year like no other, but students shared the same enthusiastic spirit as the classes that came before them. The 181 members of the Class of 2021 were recognized for their accomplishments over the past 13 years during a ceremony at the Tilles Center on June 26.

Principal Scott Bersin told graduates how lucky they were to grow up in Seaford, a community that welcomes people with open arms.

“I think the greatest thing about Seaford is its inclusivity,” he said.

“It is a part of Seaford Pride to make everyone feel like they belong.”

Valedictorian Julia Gambino also spoke about the tight-knit community that she and her classmates proudly call their hometown. She said big or small, everyone has made an impact

Salutatorian Kaylee Sanderson said that high school, particularly the last two years, taught her to “expect the unexpected.” When faced with adversity, the Class of 2021 rose to the occasion, she said, and

demonstrated its adaptability and resilience.

Senior class officers presented their class gift, a donation of more than $1,000 to purchase artwork to beautify the high school. Superintendent Dr. Adele Pecora acknowledged students who will join the military after graduation. The ceremony also featured a photo slideshow of seniors

and the presentation of several awards. Board of Education President Bruce Kahn, along with Dr. Pecora and Bersin, handed out diplomas, as names, future plans and high school activities were read aloud by assistant principals Jennifer Bisulca and Nicole Schnabel.

Thomas Joseph Thornton Jr. Thomas Joseph Thornton Jr., loving husband to Mary Ellen, dedicated father to T.J. (Amanda) and Ryan, grandfather to Alice Marie and Sam Thomas Thornton, passed away peacefully with family at home in Atlantis, FL on June 20th, 2021 from complications from Parkinson’s. In a beautifully poetic last gesture, it happened to be Father’s Day. Tom was born in Brooklyn, New York on March 31st, 1946 with his parents Catherine and Thomas Thornton, his brother Bobby, and is survived by his sister Christine. Raised in Manhasset, NY where he attended St. Mary’s High School, he proceeded to complete his education at The University of Notre Dame and then went on to receive his MBA at LIU. A tried and true fan of all things Notre Dame, his enthusiasm for his alma mater was unwavering.

He served as a Commissioner in Manalapan, Florida for ten years and weaved his way through a fascinating professional career. He started at WR Grace as Peter Grace’s assistant, then advanced to mergers and acquisitions. Next he became CEO of Orchard Supply Hardware in California, followed by CEO jobs at home center Mr. Goodbuys, and gourmet food pioneer Dean and Deluca in New York City.

Thomas then did consulting work for Campbell’s Soup, Fouchon, Lindt Chocolate, Juniors Cheesecake, and Kluge Vineyards, among others. He completed his career as CEO of Carmine’s, Palm Beach Gardens. While busy growing these companies, he also took an interest in new products, often coming home with hardware gadgets and then, after switching industries, delicious foods--he was much more partial to the latter. Great stories were often more plentiful than the perishables; Soho, NYC in the 90s was a different place than it is today, and his accounts of the store, his colleagues and the neighborhood made for lively family dinners, of which he missed few. Tom worked hard to provide a lovely upbringing for his two sons in Princeton, New Jersey, and for that they are forever grateful.

He met his wife, Mary, in Manhasset and they were married in 1972. Mary was everything to him and he liked to say that he was the luckiest guy in the world to have her as his wife. Well, he was, because she is an absolute treasure, caring for him with great love until the very end and still somehow finding time for work, hobbies and grandkids.

The family suggests memorial contributions be made to The Parkinson’s Foundation of Palm Beach County, 200 SE 1st Street, Suite 800, Miami, Florida, 33131 or online at www.parkinson.org. For more information you can call them at 561-206-3156 Funeral arrangements are being handled by Quattlebaum Funeral Home, 561-833-4061.

A Memorial Mass will be held at St. Edward Catholic Church, 144 North County Road, Palm Beach, 33480 on July 16th at 11:00 AM. Sheila said she loved me, she said she’d never leave me, true love will never die.

During the pandemic, Cory did all

he could to help get food to those in need.

He recently went on to become a manager for the family oriented Chick-Fil-A Company. Although he only worked there for 7 months, he was already a major part of their team. His Chick-Fil-A family posted an inspiring tribute on Facebook expressing how loved and appreciated Cory was.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). In the battle to self-betterment, there is no end to the world’s advice about what you should do. What if the answer isn’t to do anything?

What can you accept? What can you welcome? What can you allow? Embrace the whole of you and become mighty.

WORD FIND 18 Letters Solution:

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 18 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Patience is a type of endurance. Many find the waiting difficult because it feels passive. But is it really? If patience were an exercise, it would be akin to the plank -- more difficult as the seconds tick, engaging every faculty at once and eventually delivering results in every area. Breathe through it, and keep going.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Beware the person who wants your validation more than your truth -- in other words, every person. This week challenges you to be thoughtful in your responses and diplomatic in the social dance. You can’t go wrong answering the needs of people. With loving observation, you’ll realize what those needs are.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). What worked before might work again sometime in the future, but the fact is that it’s not working now. Staying current has everything to do with accepting what’s creating impact in this moment. Nostalgia has its place, but it would be a waste to indulge it with so many updates happening this week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are times when it’s important to keep yourself in check and other times when it’s best not to judge yourself. Negativity in particular is a state that gets a lot of self-criticism when it can actually be just the tone needed to respond to the day. The most creative frame of mind isn’t always a positive one!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The easy way is to ask how to do something. The hard way is to take it apart and try to put it back together for the sake of comprehensive understanding. The last way comes with the risk that you won’t be able to make it work again, but even if you can’t, you’ll still have knowledge instead of merely information.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The instinct to become secretive points to having something you deem worth protecting. You don’t always know exactly what that thing is, but this vague sense of its significance is worth pursuing on your road to self-knowledge. The thing worth hiding might also be a jewel to cut, shine and set inside wearable gold.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Those who believe themselves to be battling against overwhelming odds are bound to be vigilant in their defensive state. A change in an assessment of the odds will reduce jumpiness and suspicion. Trust, care, love and tenderness will change the game, too, as will tangible gestures, resources and provisions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If love is an art (and who is to say it’s not?), you’re currently redefining a highly original creative process, with attractive results.

In the art realm, many are casually drawn in by beauty, but the world turns on the action of an elite class of appreciators who interpret, care for and preserve the value of the gift.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you wanted to, you could listen to the dictates of time, money and reason, although don’t expect to be surprised or entertained by what they have to say. You could also ignore these factors as you formulate, scheme and imagine. Reality rules in the end... why give it the beginning and middle, too?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When the resources tighten up, don’t worry; it’s just part of the pattern. Calmly, coolly take what you can get, and remain patient.

Circumstances will eventually turn around, and quite obviously so at that. The ground will split and crack right open before you to reveal the glittering diamond vein.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In your own way, you are cultivating a rebellion. It started back when you noticed the ineffectiveness of the status quo. Now you see, with increasing clarity, the ways in which you could improve matters in a sector of your influence. And the more you notice, the harder it is to stand by. Plans come together.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

It wouldn’t seem like space would be such a hard thing to make, but its creation can be deceivingly tricky. People can give you space, and you appreciate space as a gift, but you also appreciate it as a right, a freedom and, if necessary, a self-proclamation.

Your spatial relations will expand to make room for exciting ventures, shrink to close the gap between you and intriguing prospects, glow to light the honored and sacred, and sing in shared and beautifully personalized spaces.

North Shore Land Alliance Annual Golf And Tennis Event

T

he North Shore Land Alliance was especially glad to be able to hold their annual Golf & Tennis event in person this year. At the end of May, nearly 100 happy supporters came out for 18 holes of golf and grass court tennis play followed by a lunch at a beautiful golf club in Locust Valley.

Eighteen foursomes kicked off the morning at 8 a.m. with a buffet breakfast on the terrace before heading out to their respective tees. Sarah Blundin won the women’s longest drive and closest to the pin while O.D. Lee won the men’s longest drive and Gunner Loveless won the men’s closest to the pin.

Tennis players enjoyed a warmup with the pros followed by round-robin tournament play on pristine grass tennis courts. Julie Rinaldini and Tony Barton earned their win over Terry Parsons and Gary Schreiner in the finals.

After the activities, players gathered on the lawn overlooking the golf range for a delicious lunch and awards ceremony. An assortment of silent auction items were offered including a Meadow Brook foursome with lunch donated

by Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Bruderman and a beautiful pair of antique tennis racquets donated by Scott Aitchison.

North Shore Land Alliance

Everyone is grateful to the sponsors, underwriters, donors and the club that hosted the event.

The tennis and gold committees put in a tremendous amount of work to pull off this post-pandemic event so successfully.

Michelle N. Cohen Helping YOU find your direction 2021 has been a more challenging year, thus far.

Michelle's Recent Transactions

Fewer residences have been offered for sale on the North Shore of Nassau County. Because of the continuing impact of the pandemic, some listings attracted multiple bids from buyers acting emotionally to “get something” fast.

Closed 59 Ridge Drive, Searingtown 50 Rockhill Road, East Hills 34 Eagle Lane, East Hills 3 Joel Place, Port Washington 14 Maplewood Lane, East Hills 49 Arbor Lane, Roslyn Heights 175 Peach Drive, East Hills

A listing broker has a fiduciary responsibility to assist sellers in maximizing their returns, while the buy-side brokers always have a concern about helping their customers find the right property at a rational price.

Michelle says: “I always try to balance those responsibilities, remembering that without buyers, there are no transactions, and without two satisfied parties, there will be no transactions next year.”

Under Contract 122 Tara Drive, East Hills 7 Club Drive, Roslyn Heights 80 Chestnut Drive, East Hills 10 Walnut Drive, East Hills 30 Club House Court, Jericho 64 The Serpentine, Roslyn Estates 30 Esquire Court, North Hills/Roslyn

“My word is my bond. My commitment to the practice of real estate brokerage is to make every transaction happen ethically, as smoothly as possible, and in the best interests of all involved.” “Don't go crazy. Smooth and steady wins the race. 2021 has been a very good year, thus far, for my clients and my customers.”

My passion is matching customers and properties!
