TOP STORY
For A Week, Jawing About Sharks BY FRANK RIZZO
S
frizzo@antonmediagroup.com
hark attacks are rarer than commercial airplane crashes, but draw the same outsized media attention. Until eclipsed by Tropical Storm Isaias and its aftermath, sharks were a main part of the news diet here on Long Island. And, thanks to an unusual death, nationally. On July 28, New York City resident Julie Dimperio Holowach, 63, was killed in Maine by a great white shark, the first confirmed shark death in the state. She was wearing a wet suit and was swimming with her daughter about 20 yards off the shore of Bailey Island when she was attacked, Maine Marine Patrol officials said. It is thought that the shark confused her for a seal. Two kayakers helped her get to shore and an ambulance provided further assistance, but she was pronounced dead at the scene. Maine Marine Resources Commissioner Patrick Keliher said the shark was identified as a great white by a tooth fragment. Three days before her death, Manhasset resident TJ Minutillo, fishing from the shore of Nickerson Beach in the Lido Beach community, snared an extremely rare bull shark, identified as the second deadliest to humans after the great whites. After photographing the 8-foot shark, estimated to weigh between 300 and 400 pounds, Minutillo and his fishing companions released it back to the water. A shark expert in Florida reportedly confirmed the identity after viewing the photograph. The day before Holowach’s death, the Town of Hempstead announced that a “significant size shark” was spotted off Lido West Beach by a town lifeguard on a surfboard. Following state shark protocols, the strip of water was “red-flagged” and closed. A number of town beaches in the area were temporarily closed to swimmers. In the week that followed, the town reported several more sightings and more beach closings, along with limiting swimmers to knee-high or waist-high water. Experts have weighed in, speculating that the increased sightings are due to warmer waters and the abundance of fish that sharks feed on.
It’s Their Home
Politicians responded to the flurry of sightings and beach closings that
Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder, left, and County Executive Laura Curran, at podium, listen to marine mammal expert Paul Sieswerda, at right, talk about sharks. The press conference was held at Nickerson Beach. (Photo by Frank Rizzo) included Atlantic Beach, Long Beach, Lido Beach, Point Lookout, TOBAY Beach (Town of Oyster Bay), Nickerson Beach (Nassau County) and Jones Beach State Park. Town of Hempstead Supervisor Donald Clavin announced a “Shark Patrol,” consisting of lifeguards and bay constables on boats and jet skis. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran held a press conference at Nickerson Beach that drew unprecedented coverage. The set up was on the 25-foot-wide boardwalk leading to the beach, and was jammed with videographers, photographers and reporters. Curran said that she had directed the Nassau County Police Department to enhance helicopter patrols all along the south coast to scan for sharks. She noted that the choppers are already patrolling the area. “If anything is spotted coming close to shore and is displaying erratic and aggressive behavior, our pilots will immediately get that info to all beaches and lifeguards, no matter the jurisdiction,” Curran said. The police department’s Marine Bureau will also be intensifying water patrols, with Curran noting that members are “very experienced in making quick rescues and are trained for every type of situation. The boats—unlike those used by bay constables—are designed to withstand the waves and chops of the ocean. They will
supplement the outstanding lifeguards who are trained to spot sharks.” Curran reminded her audience that the ocean “is the shark’s home, and most sharks are not looking for trouble. Shark attacks are extremely rare.” Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder stated, “We’ve had 12 attacks [in New York State] since 1837—that’s not a lot. But one death will cause panic.” Ryder’s figure comes from the International Shark Attack File kept by the Florida Museum in Gainesville. He reminded listeners that despite the intensified patrols, the sharks could be missed and were still out there. “The lifeguards are experts at what they do,” he said. “They’re professionals. If they tell you to get out of the water, get out, don’t hesitate. Use common sense and stay close to the shore.” More advice came from Paul Sieswerda, former New York Aquarium curator and director of the group Gotham Whale, dedicated to marine mammal research in the waters around New York City. Its American Princess boat offers whale watching tours five days a week, he said. Sieswerda noted that his group’s website has a link where boaters and fishermen can report marine mammal and shark sightings. “This summer, we’ve been getting reports of sharks that tend to be at the surface. There are other sharks that
tend to stay underwater and pose no threats to humans,” he said. “I would say we’re getting more than double the number of shark sightings. And again, not bulls or great whites. Fortunately, the sharks we see are fish-eating sharks, and this unfortunate event in Maine has certainly brought the issue up strongly about the threat of shark attacks.” Sieswerda put the risks in perspective, noting that there was a much greater chance to getting killed in a car accident driving to the press conference than getting attacked by a shark, pointing to the ocean behind him. Curran asked about early reports that the Maine victim was attacked by a bull shark. Sieswerda said that “it’s a very difficult process to identify the species—all sharks look alike.” He made note of a picture he had seen of a stingray with bite marks, washed ashore on a Town of Hempstead beach. He speculated that the evidence showed it could have been made by a bull shark. But the same marks could have been inflicted by a tiger shark. “So we really don’t know,” he concluded. —Additional reporting by Dave Gil DeRubio To comment on this story, email frizzo @antonmediagroup.com
SHARK SAFE
Both Curran and Sieswerda gave tips and advice to swimmers.
• If you spot a shark, said Sieswerda, “move slowly to the shore. They’re attracted by splashes and anything that looks like an animal in distress.” • Don’t go beyond waist-deep water and stay close to the shore. • Swim in groups, which can confuse sharks. Solitary swimmers can be seen as a natural prey. • Avoid swimming at dusk and dawn, prime feeding time for sharks. • Don’t wear shiny jewelry—it can be confused for fish scales when glinting in sunshine. • Don’t swim when bleeding; sharks are drawn to even the tiniest amount of blood.

HYPER-LOCAL NEWS MANHASSET Petition To Replace Manhasset High School Mascot
FULL RUN
NEWS FROM YOUR COMMUNITY
BY TRAVIS FORTOUNAS editorial@antonmediagroup.com
A
petition has been started to replace the Manhasset High School mascot. What started out as a personal concern that Joanna Trigg had throughout her academic career at the Manhasset School District has turned into a petition to replace Manhasset’s mascot, which is an image of an Indian head. The Indian head has been the face of Manhasset High School since the early 1900’s and has remained the same since. Trigg lived in Manhasset for 18 years and now resides in Brooklyn. Since graduating from Manhasset High School in 2004, Trigg has always been an advocate for racial injustice throughout her academic career in the Manhasset school district. “I graduated from Manhasset High School in 2004, and thought that as some time passed, the mascot would change. it never happened.” Trigg said. As much as Trigg is going against the
High School, she still gives credit to the teachers who taught her everything she knows today about cultural diversity. “During my 13 years of education in the Manhasset school district, I was taught to think critically and to honor and value diversity and inclusion. I was taught to have empathy towards oppressed people by the wonderful educators I was taught by during my academic career at Manhasset,” she said. A petition headlined, “Manhasset High School should change the racist mascot,” started out as a small petition in early June and turned into a widely followed page with close to 2,000 signatures. Trigg plans to keep the petition up as long as it takes to get through to the administration of Manhasset. “The board of Education appears open to changing the mascot, but we need to send a powerful message to the community that racism will not be tolerated in Manhasset, or in any community,” the petition reads.

he citizens of Jericho were confused. Why were they not told of plans to open a homeless shelter at the old site of the former Hampton Inn hotel? Some residents were displeased with the mere idea of having the shelter in the area. However, the majority of people have offered to assist the newly created family support center. “On July 23, I was advised that the Nassau County Department of Social Services intends to relocate several families who are currently residing in squalid, inhumane conditions in several motels in Jericho to a new location at the recently-sold Hampton Inn,” Legislator Arnold Drucker (D— Plainview) said in a statement to Anton Media Group. “However, these plans were communicated to my office in a woefully inadequate manner.” The planned homeless shelter will take over the vacant hotel at the corner of Brush Hollow Road and Jericho Turnpike. There will be 80 units in the old hotel that will be available for families who are housing insecure. The Department of Social Services stated that the shelter will be run by the Patchogue-based Community Housing Innovations, an organization with 29 years of experience managing emergency housing. It will have a $6 million budget per year unless otherwise noted. “Although it is my belief that any homeless family is entitled to live in a safe, dignified and humane temporary shelter, the communities affected by the relocation or placement of these homeless families deserve to be informed and have their opinions heard,” Drucker said. Families will be permitted to stay in the Jericho facility for anywhere from six to eight months. Then, they will hopefully transition into permanent housing.

Port Rowing Celebrates Graduating Seniors BY CAROLINE RYAN

Despite the coronavirus pandemic cancelling many in person graduation ceremonies, members of the Friends of Port Rowing gathered together to hold a small graduation and awards ceremony to celebrate their graduating seniors.

of virtual substitute, so there was a lot of excitement to have the teammates celebrate in person with their parents in attendance to see them, even though the gathering was limited to 50 people.” During the ceremony, Ian Bresowski received the first annual 2020 Sue Steinberg Scholarship. The scholarship fund was created after Sue Steinberg, a member of the Friends of Port Rowing, passed away in 2019. With the help of Steinberg’s family and Friends of Port Rowing, an educational scholarship was created in her honor. “Her family and friends wanted to find a way to honor her and carry on her memory,” Friends of Port Rowing’s website states. “It was important that this endeavor highlighted what Sue
loved and valued and would leave an enduring imprint of her essence.” After meeting several criteria, including demonstrating strong character and good sportsmanship on the team, this year’s recipient received a $1,000 educational scholarship. During the ceremony, the Port Rowing boathouse was also named “The Mitchell Tamkin Boathouse” in honor of their President Emeritus, Mitch Tamkin. Tamkin served as President of the Friends of Port Rowing for more than 10 years and was instrumental in advancing the program and getting the Port Rowing Boathouse built. Although the pandemic ultimately forced all indoor group athletic activities to be cancelled, training
sessions were able to be moved to a virtual setting. However, on July 6, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that low-risk youth sports were allowed to begin again. The graduates were able to resume rowing on Hempstead Harbor. Despite the pandemic, the crew pushed on. “So many rowers stayed engaged following detailed training regimens, participating in zoom sessions, sending videos to coaches and receiving personalized evaluations,” McDermott said. “There were even virtual regattas set up against other teams. Unfortunately without the barbecues and the tents.” “As we get used to our new normal it is paramount to keep everyone engaged mentally and physically,” McDermott said. “Rowing Crew in North Hempstead Park is great way for us all to stay in shape and engaged. It is a great resource that we have in our community.” For more information, contact Coach Emilie at emile@portrowing.org or visit www.portrowing.com. What did you think of this story?

“When NYU Winthrop’s TAVR team replaced my heart valve, they gave me my life back.”
For John Elliott, sailing is living. He’s been on the water for most of his 90-plus years. In all three theaters during World War 2, as a merchant seaman, and for the last 70 years sailing out of the Rockaway Point Yacht Club. But recently John was so fatigued and short of breath, he could only walk a few steps. His aortic valve was failing. His daughter, a nurse, told John about a valve replacement procedure called TAVR. She took him to NYU Winthrop Hospital, part of NYU Langone Health. With some of the country’s highest quality TAVR programs on Long Island and in Manhattan, NYU Langone Health is a leader in this procedure. They replaced John’s valve through an artery in his leg. In no time at all, he was back to sailing off Breezy Point. If you suffer from aortic stenosis, you may be a candidate for TAVR. To learn more, call 1-866-WINTHROP or visit nyulangone.org/tavr.

Legislator Supports Glen Cove’s Virtual Downtown Sounds Concert Series
Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D—Glen Cove) recently visited Glen Cove’s downtown restaurant district for the first night of the Virtual Downtown Sounds concert series. This year, to preserve appropriate physical distancing in accordance with COVID-19 prevention protocols, the Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) is livestreaming concerts onto large screens placed at the intersection of School Street and Highland Road, School and Glen Streets and midway between School and Pulaski Streets. The large television screens are intended to enhance the downtown dining district for restaurant patrons. BID officials stress that large gatherings remain prohibited under current COVID-19 prevention protocols, and that anyone wishing to watch the concerts on the downtown livestream screens can do so only by making a reservation with their favorite restaurant.

y every measure, children learn best in a classroom setting. But many fear a spike in coronavirus cases if schools reopen. Yet if students stay home, they create a new set of problems for working parents. Others fear that remote learning will leave students behind academically. Balancing all these factors has created a dilemma with no easy answers for educators as they contemplate opening schools during the pandemic. By July 31, all public school districts needed to submit reentry plans to the New York State Department of Education (DOE). Governor Andrew Cuomo had said the decision to open will depend on whether the virus is under control, and on Aug. 7, he authorized schools to reopen. The Westbury Union Free School District put together a plan that envisions a combination of both classroom and remote learning. On July 22, the district held a virtual meeting to unveil the plan and answer questions from residents.
Budhai replied that they have to option to choose remote learning only. They can return their kids to school if they change their mind, he said, but warned that it will complicate things like class assignments and bus transportation.
Technology
Under the plan, all kindergartners will receive iPads, while every other student will get a Chromebook, a Google product with built-in internet access and Google software. The district would also provide the cables, warranties and tech support. Software would ensure that they would not visit inappropriate websites.

Great Neck South High School alumna desperately needs a kidney donor. Gail Korkhin ’79 has a kidney functioning at around 10 percent, which resulted after she took a certain medication for a long-term medical issue. While Korkhin initially thought that a family member could donate a kidney to her, she soon found out it would not be possible. For this reason, she is seeking a transplant from a stranger. “I thought someone [in my family] would match, but nobody in my family is healthy enough to donate,” she said. “A living donor kidney lasts approximately 20 years while a cadaver kidney only lasts about 10 years. Since I have B positive blood, my wait for a kidney is twice as long.” She said that the entirety of the process—waiting for a kidney and facing dialysis—is an extremely stressful and scary process for her to think about and experience. Neither of these options happen to be a cure, but rather a treatment. Many of the physical activities that Khorkin consistently participates in such as walking, will be more restricted if she goes through with the transplant surgery and she will also have to use anti-rejection drugs for a lifetime. Luckily, to help her through this tough time, Khorkin reached out to several of her high school classmates with whom she has stayed friendly with since graduation. She reconnected with Clara Pomerantz, Peter Mones, Patricia Clark and Myra Michael. Each of these individuals has helped her in the challenging process to find a donor. “I had kept in touch with Gail Khorkin from time-to-time over the years,” Pomerantz ’79 said. “She reached out to me about a month or two ago through [Facebook] messenger, explaining her life-threatening situation and her search of a living kidney donor. She explained a medication she had been taking for nearly 40 years has destroyed her kidney.” Pomerantz mentioned that she, as well as her three other classmates, meet periodically on Zoom to brainstorm

methods to help Khorkin. In addition to Pomerantz’s efforts, Mones used his synagogue’s newsletter to spread word about Khorkin’s medical needs, hoping that he and his fellow congregants at The City Congregation for Secular Humanistic Judaism can make a difference. To gain more support and attention, Clark sent an email to fellow SHS ’79 graduates, urging each of them to contribute to Khorkin’s cause. Since the email chain was sent, several alumni have shown their support for her urgent medical issue. “I sent an email blast to Great Neck South Class of 1979 classmates on June 25, advising of Gail’s serious health situation and options to help our classmate. Options to help included donating to the GoFundMe account, being screened as a potential kidney donor and using the classmates’ personal networks to circulate Gail’s search for a donor,” Clark said. “I included links to the GoFundMe account and the transplant services team at St. Barnabas Medical Center, as well as an article that appeared in the West Essex Tribune newspaper.” To contribute to the GoFundMe page, visit www.gofundme.com/f/ gift-of-life-for-gail. Prospective donors should contact Khorkin directly at gailkorkhin@yahoo.com or by phone at 201-704-6810. —Leila Sassouni is a contributing writer for Anton Media Group

Great Neck Residents Offer Backyard Camps BY GILAD AZARAHIAN
editorial@antonmediagroup.com
M
iddle school and high school students in Great Neck are finding themselves stuck at home with lots of time on their hands. Even with new Nassau Country guidelines allowing for summer day camps to open, many camps could not meet the strict requirements and decided not to open this summer, ending younger children’s hopes of going to summer camp. A few Great Neck teens have decided to take it upon themselves to create summer camps in their own backyard. Campers arrive at the site, usually a high school or college student’s house, in the morning and enjoy the day full of different activities. Every camp is catered to a different age group, offering camps for first graders or for students entering the ninth grade. The camps range in size, from 25-30 campers, while smaller camps have around 15 children. Most camps cost around $25-50 per day, and parents can decide which days of the week they want their children to attend.
Several Great Neck teens created backyard summer camps for children in light of the pandemic. (Contributed photo) The teens creatively come up with different ways to keep kids active and having fun, from playing sports to doing arts and crafts. Many of these backyard camps also have pools, allowing campers to cool off and enjoy water activities as well, some even hire certified lifeguards for while campers swim. The main concern with these
backyard camps is of course, how are they dealing with the current pandemic? The answer is that it really depends on the parents of the children. Some of the camps, which include kids who go home to at-risk family members, follow more strict social distancing rules and require face masks and try to follow as many guidelines as possible. However,
One Size Doesn’t Fit All! Certainly not for your insurance needs!
some camps are not very strict on social distancing and mask wearing. With the cancelation of summer plans for many, Great Neck teens have stepped up to help their community by creating these camps, to allow parents to send their kids to a place where they can enjoy summer after a long quarantine period. The Boys outdoor summer camp takes place Monday-Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. ands is for boys ages 6 to 8. Activities include basketball, soccer, ices, bean bag toss and more. To find out more information about Great Neck’s Backyard Camps for boys contact Benyamin at 516-967-6459 for info or registration. Cost is $125 per week. Adelle and Eliana’s Backyard Camp takes place from 9:30 to 3 p.m. Activities include dance, arts and crafts, sports, water activities, games and more. Kosher lunch will be provided. For more information call 516-497-3672. Cost is $250 per week, limited spots are available. —Gilad Azarahian is a contributing writer for Anton Media Group

The Garden City Volunteer Fire Department responded to more than 41 alarms in a less than 16-hour period. During the course of the storm, members responded to multiple calls for wires down, trees down, trees down on structures, odors of natural gas as well as carbon monoxide alarms. With the influx of alarms throughout Nassau, the department began self-dispatching alarms from fire headquarters. Throughout the storm, department members and apparatus were traversing the village responding to calls for assistance.

According to Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson, as a result of Isaias, there were more than 220 reported incidents. Officers, firefighters and

HICKSVILE
New director set to start on Aug. 20
BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

W
hen Christine Edwins completes her first day as Hicksville Library Director on Aug. 20, it will be a sort of homecoming for her. The Locust Valley native’s father not only grew up in the community, but her in-laws also called it home for a long time. Edwins is coming off an eight-year stint as Bayville Public Library Director and is eager to get started in her new position. “It’s a big move and I’m excited about it because I feel like it’s exactly what I’m looking for right now as far as more involvement with the community and more advances with technology and what we can offer,” Edwins said. “It’s such a special time right now too. It’s kind of hard to say what’s going to come of the future, but I think there’s a lot of opportunity out there.” A lifelong library lover dating back to childhood, the C.W. Post alum worked her way up through the system as a librarian with a focus on children and young adult services, assisting the community with reference help and

using her fresh take on library services on the planning and implementation of new programs. She applied that passion to serve the community by building a number of generational bridges that included her hiring a full-time Children’s Room librarian (“You had one person on staff that could bring the community in at birth”), starting a well-received yoga program (“We’re up to nearly six
classes a week and nearly every one of them is full”) and founding a teen advisory group (“I really wanted to open the library up as a place where they can feel comfortable and come because I did as a teenager.”) Edwins also used a grant to hire a woman to start a bilingual outreach program that eventually became an entrenched and well-received facet of the Bayville Library. It’s an experience that was enlightening for Edwins and one she feels will serve her well in Hicksville. “Obviously every community has diversity somewhere, whether or not they know it,” she said. “I realized how valuable it was to be able to keep that relationship going with the non-English-speaking community and to work with the schools to make sure that these people realize that this is a resource for them and their community and whatever they may need. I very much enjoy history, so I’m very excited to learn about the history of the Hicksville community, where it is today and what their challenges are today.” As the director of the Bayville Free Library, Edwins oversaw the library
budget, reduced costs through grants, maintained and updated the library collection and forged relationships with community partners through outreach efforts. All of this gibes with Edwins’ firm belief that a public library is a crucial linchpin for whatever community it serves and is a philosophy she’ll bring to her new position. “The library is an absolute central part of the resources for every part of the community,” she said. “I feel like a lot of people don’t even realize those resources are there and that they’re technically already paying for them, so they may as well take advantage of them. Plus it’s a service to the community, so you want to see what they’re looking for, make it work, see what works, see what doesn’t and make everybody happy.” Visit www.hicksvillelibrary.org to find out more about the Hicksville Public Library.

OUR OPINION
Regis Philbin’s Impact On My Life The Bronx was the place to be for Regis Philbin in his early years. Simply put, he was the man. Philbin died on July 24 at the age of 88. His memory will not disappear anytime soon, though, because his impact on the lives of others will continue for decades to come. His national fame grew thanks to the start of The Morning Show in 1982, becoming Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee six years later with Kathie Lee Gifford. And his career took off from there. Philbin is largely credited with increasing ABC’s morning ratings, and the success continued from 2001-11 when the show was renamed again to Live! with Regis and Kelly, featuring Kelly Ripa. My mom and I were huge fans of Live!, and we were determined to get tickets. Come 2009, we finally received a pair of tickets in the mail. But that also meant an early morning.

in my memory to this day. A few months later, I attended an event at Pocono Raceway, and I saw Bowles walking down the pit road. So what did I do? I chased after him, and I’m still not totally sure why I did it. But it led to a whole series of opportunities. “I saw you on Regis Philbin’s show, and I’d love to work with you,” I told him. The rest, as they say, is history. To this day, every writing opportunity I’ve had over the years is because of that interaction. Without watching Philbin growing up, who knows, maybe I wouldn’t have even ended up with the opportunities I’ve been blessed to have. I’m certainly not the only person who Regis inadvertantly impacted in a positive way, and I’d love to hear stories of those who were fortunate enough to have meaningful conversations with this beautiful man.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR ENOUGH IS ENOUGH Recently, while driving down Plandome Road into Manhasset, I was feeling grateful for having lived in a beautiful, peaceful community for most of my life. Unfortunately, I was blind to the sad truth which was prominently displayed on a large billboard in Mary Jane Davies Park and, in case you missed it, on a similar billboard erected in front of North Hempstead Town Hall which notified residents that our virtuous, elected officials were on a mission to root out “hate, intolerance or violence”.
Our “Betters” proclaimed: “Not in our town. We pledge to not remain silent to hate, intolerance, or violence. Enough is Enough” Shocked and dismayed, I was determined to uncover the source of Manhasset’s toxicity. Is it emanating from Munsey Park, Plandome or, heaven forbid, the Strathmore’s? Can it be that our small businesses, perhaps the cleaners, the pharmacists or the restaurateurs, decimated from enforced lockdown, are resentful and angry? Maybe
the rumors swirling about the crowd who once caught the 7:27 into Manhattan are true. It can’t be school personnel who still receive their paychecks even though schools are closed and may not be open for a while. How did our enlightened leaders determine that seemingly peaceful residents who diligently pay their exorbitant taxes, tidy their lawns, greet each other on early morning walks and abide by voluminous rules, regs and edicts are actually harboring hate, intolerance
and violence in their hearts and minds? Searching for evidence, I called the Town of North Hempstead to ascertain the particulars of the cited toxicity. The patient young man who answered the phone was a bit flustered so he passed me on to a very competent woman who assured me that she was writing down every word and would pass my inquiry on to local officials who are dedicated to making us be our “better selves” by stamping out “hate, intolerance or violence” which
apparently is festering just below the surface in our tranquil town. I am still waiting for a response which makes me wonder why elected politicians whose job description includes maintenance of infrastructure and promotion of economic growth, find the energy and resources during these stressful times to lecture residents on hate, intolerance or violence. It appears George Orwell is alive and well. —Laurann Pandelakis

The Ultimate Lesson In Change Who would have thought, almost six months ago, that we would still be dealing with the effects of COVID-19 on our daily lives? It is during times like these that our ability to adapt to change and overcome challenge is tested. One of the most debated issues in the news today is whether schools should open for in-person learning in September. While the desire for children to learn and receive a formal education is universal, many parents, teachers and healthcare providers are concerned that returning to school may do more harm than good. Still, school boards must make the ultimate decision about what each district will do while weighing the facts they are given. Several potential solutions have been proposed, with the most likely option seeming to be a mix of remote and in-person learning. If this is the ultimate plan of action, we as students, parents and teachers must adjust to this new reality. Before any judgments about school decisions are made, I believe that we must identify who we want to rely on to educate us with respect to the disease and its potential effects. Should we listen to the politicians or the scientists? This is truly an apolitical issue for me. Scientists are the professionals who study the virus daily in order to
Assuming that education will take place both in and out of the classroom, an initial decision will be made regarding the best use of time and space for each student. For example, should third-grade students receive the same number of hours in the classroom as my eleventh-grade peers? Decisions like this may be evolve over time. I assume there will be trial and error as Zack Siegel this is uncharted territory. The plan on day one may have to be altered several times throughtry and understand how it out the year based on educais contracted, its short- and tional needs, progression of long-term effects on the human body, as well as potential disease as well as teacher and administrative input regarding treatments and preventative vaccines.

Each individual family’s threshold for risk must be given equal weight by allowing students to choose whether they feel comfortable attending school. Again, this may change over time, but until a cure or effective treatment is discovered and approved, we must provide options for our students without judgment. I think the one thing that everyone can agree on is that we have no idea what the coming school year will look Assuming that education will take place like.

In New York state, advocates are fighting a perpetual battle for true public transportation accessibility that fulfills the promise enshrined in the ADA. In Albany, I’m promoting their cause and fighting for critical resources. The need is clear. Of the 468 subway stations in New York City, only 105 are handicap accessible. Of the 124 LIRR stops, 108 stations are considered accessible by the
MTA. However, only 21 of the stations are in full compliance with the ADA. This is completely unacceptable. My colleagues and I took action. Recently, the Legislature authorized a new capital plan for the MTA. I supported the inclusion of $5.2 billion in funding to improve accessibility for all transportation networks under the umbrella of the MTA, including the LIRR. It’s not just the right thing to do. It’s the law. It also underscores the importance of state and
local governments securing needed aid during the ongoing negotiations in Congress concerning additional federal stimulus funds. It’s going to be much easier for the state to make good on financial commitments it has made to important causes like transportation accessibility if we can secure federal funding to help us deal with the economic devastation wrought by the COVID-19 crisis. —Ed Ra is a member of the New York State Assembly, representing the 19th District.
Is This The End Of The Handshake? Humans began shaking hands sometime in the fifth century BC in Ancient Greece, not as a gesture of friendship, but basically, because people couldn’t trust each other. It was a rough time and everyone was trying to kill each other in any way they could. When knights confronted counterparts from other kingdoms in nonviolent situations, they would reach out to shake their hands. By shaking someone’s hand, you could establish that neither one of you was hiding a weapon. Maybe that’s how the handshake eventually became a sign of trust and friendship over the centuries. Nowadays, we still greet people with a hearty handshake. Handshakes are used to convey celebrations and gratitude. Before there were written contracts, a man’s handshake was his word. Many diplomats use handshakes as a public display of trust between countries that don’t usually like each other. In sports, especially hockey, athletes shake hands as a sign of good sportsmanship. My father taught me at a young age about the importance of a firm handshake. We used to practice it, along with making eye contact. He never wanted me to offer a “dead fish,” as he used to call a weak handshake. I’ve shaken hundreds, if not thousands of hands in my personal life and business career and you always remember the people

who gave you the “dead fish.” However, it’s probably one of the worst things we can do during a pandemic. Back in 2009, during the H1N1 crisis, medical experts suggested that we try a different greeting. Thus, “fist bump” was born. With COVID-19, we are asked to forgo any type of hand-to-hand contact. Instead, we are to substitute what seems ridiculous—the elbow bump. You just don’t erase 2,600 years of handshaking and replace it with an elbow bump. Somehow, I don’t see President Trump and Vladimir Putin meeting on the floor of the UN, doing an elbow bump to signify world peace. In trying to prevent the spread of infection, like COVID-19, we are forced to make changes in our social greetings. Coming from a large Italian family, that’s easier said than done. Italian gatherings require a hug and

a kiss with every member of your family. I could spend the entire cocktail hour at a family wedding, just making sure I said hello (and kissed) every aunt, uncle and cousin in the room. God forbid I happen to miss someone. They will seek out and admonish me with, “So, are you getting too big to say hello to your Aunt Sadie?” At the end of the night, the cycle needs to be repeated before you can exit the building. Standing at the exit door and waving goodbye to the room is not an option. Anyone that I might have missed will call my mother the next day and rat me out. Shaking hands or hugging and kissing friends and relatives is not just a custom,
it’s our only source of human contact. Friends that I’ve known all my life are becoming grandparents or beginning their retirement. How does anyone think an elbow bump is going to suffice as a congratulatory gesture? Today, people are working from home and receiving contactless deliveries to their front door. Although we are communicating with video on Face-Time or Zoom, we are missing out on essential human contact. Even when we do venture outside, we’re wearing face coverings and therefore masking our emotions. There is no better reward when doing something nice for someone (like holding open a door), then
eliciting a smile. I miss that more than anything. People insist that when this is all over, we will get back to “normal.” I don’t doubt for a second that we’ll go back to the movies, attend concerts and go to the ballpark again. I’m just not so sure what’s going to become of the hearty handshake as a greeting to strangers. Unless, of course, you think they might be carrying a weapon.

Damn The Torpedoes Throughout our lives, we hear many different words and phrases that seem to take hold in our everyday vocabulary. As a journalist, I have a great interest in phrases, words and their origins. This began with one of my favorite albums from my high school years. I was a senior in high school when Tom Petty released his LP Damn the Torpedoes. I loved the phrase and often wondered why Petty hadn’t included a song track of the same name on the album. I listened intently, but nothing really sounded at all like the phrase, “Damn the torpedoes.” I must admit that I was more than a little disappointed, especially because I used to often confide in my father that album tracks should always reflect the album title. It made more sense to my editorial mind. Nonetheless, I really loved the phrase. For years, I wondered about why Petty used the phrase for his LP, but never had the time to do the research. Life had become life, and as we often do, I became involved with work, a home, a family. I purchased a CD of Damn the Torpedoes and played it a few times when I was alone, especially since our daughter made requests for her own genre of music when she rode with us. Tom Petty and his electric smile found his way into the console of my vehicle, only to be listened to on rare occasions. Last week, I searched for an

interesting meme to post on Instagram. I found an old black and white photograph of an etching in stone with the phrase, “Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!” The person credited with the quote was David Glasgow Farragut, who was a flag officer in the US Navy during the American Civil War. Until that search, I’d always believed that Tom Petty was responsible for the quote. Please forgive my ignorance, ha-ha. After a bit of research, I found that the quote had been misquoted. While multiple versions exist of what Admiral Farragut stated during the Battle of Mobile Bay in Alabama, the closest one to the truth appears to be, “Damn the torpedoes! Four bells! Captain Drayton, go ahead! Jouett, full speed!” For those interested in naval history, one bell meant to go ahead, two bells meant to stop, three bells meant to go back and four bells meant to go ahead as quickly as possible. Several articles appeared in two
separate magazines in 1881, where Farragut had been quoted as also shouting at the height of battle, “Four bells, eight bells, SIXTEEN bells! Give her all the steam you’ve got!” This was also a slight misquote, as Thom Williamson, the ship’s chief engineer, stated that he asked Farragut himself how many bells to ring. Farragut answered sharply, “Four bells—eight bells—SIXTEEN bells—damn it, I don’t care how many bells you ring!” It sounds like creative license may have been taken to give the phrase a bit more “umph.” And now, back to the music. Tom Petty, a Southern boy who refused to be “bought and sold like a piece of meat,” had threatened to shelve his band’s album, Damn the Torpedoes. MCA, the label he signed with, threatened to confiscate Petty’s session tapes with his band The

Heartbreakers. Petty filed for bankruptcy after having a studio assistant hide his tapes in secret locations so nobody could find them. This brave move opened Petty’s contracts up to renegotiation and showed the label he wasn’t backing down. (For the record, that’s my favorite Petty tune.) MCA caved and subsequently gave Petty back all publishing rights. This victory, coupled with the release of the album on the day before Petty’s 29th birthday, made the title of the album very appropriate. The phrase, “Damn the torpedoes,” which are the immortal words associated with Farragut’s Union victory at Mobile Bay over the Confederate naval force, means to press on with a task or one’s current course of action, regardless of any risk or danger. Although history cannot afford us the actual quotation by Admiral Farragut, the phrase has a meaningful strength and presence. While we should never press forward recklessly, it may behoove us to get ourselves “unstuck” on occasion and take some well calculated risks. This may take us out of our comfort zone but may also enable new light to be shed on old circumstances. May we all “damn the torpedoes” with discernment and grace when we need a bit of new energy to add a bit of sunshine to our own lives as well as the lives of others.

Hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Paula Zahn, the program featured public figures in science, film, music, journalism and business. They created a community of voices, and shared stories and memories of loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease. Special guest appearances included
HFC (Hilarity For Charity) co-founders Lauren Miller Rogen and Seth Rogen, Academy and Tony Award-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden, country music artist Jay Allen and ADDF co-founder and co-chair Leonard A. Lauder. The only nonprofit devoted solely to finding new drugs to prevent, treat and cure Alzheimer’s, the ADDF hosts Memories Matter each year to shine a light on the devastating impact of Alzheimer’s disease on patients, caretakers, entire families and particularly on younger generations.
Memories Matter was founded by ADDF board members Wendy Wilshin and Stephanie Ginsberg, who is from Jericho. In a poignant family interview between Lauder and grandson Josh Lauder, both family members discussed the founding of the ADDF and its progress. The elder Lauder remarked, “The ADDF has made great progress since our founding just over 20 years ago, and efforts are paying off.

Prevention Deflection A COVID-19 vaccine is coming, but will it make a difference? BY CYNDI ZAWESKI

C
ountless experts have gone on the record since the COVID-19 outbreak to answer the question on everyone’s mind. When will the pandemic subside enough to return to our mask-wearing free lives? Once an effective vaccine becomes available is the general consensus to that nagging question. But will the discovery of a vaccine make a difference? Not for most. According to a recent WebMD survey, the majority of those polled would not take a COVID vaccine within the first year it is made public. The poll, which questioned more than 1,000 respondents, found that nearly 60 percent firm reluctance to taking any COVID-19 vaccines within their first year of availability. Only 43 percent said they would get the vaccine within the first year, which includes 26 percent who would get vaccinated within the first three months. Thirty percent said
4-3007
OVER
they weren’t sure and 28 percent are not planning to get the vaccine at all. A whopping 78 percent cited that the top reason for not taking the vaccine early on is the concern about possible side effects, while 15 percent believe the initial vaccine would not be effective in safeguarding against COVID-19. The findings come amid the release of early data from vaccine clinical trials, with debates about education, travel and the reopening of business sectors often hinging on approval of one or more candidates by early 2021. John Whyte, MD, WebMD Chief Medical Officer said he was surprised by the findings of the survey, which was conducted in July, and what it could spell for a return to normal. “Many people are saying that we need to keep schools closed and stay locked down until there’s a vaccine, but then when you ask people if they will take it, a significant percentage say ‘no’ and others say they will wait,” Whyte

said. “How does that help us return to a pre-COVID sense of normalcy? It’s almost a cognitive dissonance where there’s a disconnect between what they say their beliefs are, and what behavior change they say they will actually do.” The U.S. has more than 4.2 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and 147,000 deaths, according to the most recent data from Johns Hopkins University. Whyte said the survey should serve as a wake-up call to policymakers and the medical community that more effective strategies for living with coronavirus is needed. “We can’t simply rely on a vaccine becoming available in the next several months,” he said. “It may not happen, and people may not take it, even if there is one. Let’s have accurate point-of-care testing like we do for flu and strep. And we need to continue to develop more therapeutics—through controlled trials, and not doctor and patient anecdotes.”
Simply put, Whyte said, “Don’t put all the eggs in one basket.” The study indicates that many are taking a “wait and see approach” to the vaccine, which can potentially hinder achieving “herd immunity,” should the majority of people refuse to opt into taking the vaccine. Herd immunity is defined by the Mayo Clinic as when “a large portion of a community (the herd) becomes immune to a disease, making the spread of disease from person to person unlikely.” “We really need herd immunity, especially when we still are developing therapeutics,” Whyte said. “Vaccination is a relatively quick way to attain that, but if the public doesn’t take it, we won’t have protection for ourselves or the community.” Although there is encouraging preliminary data emerging, currently, there is no hard and fast timeline for when an effective vaccination will become available to the public.

State ends the use of tobacco coupons, multi-pack discounts BY CYNDI ZAWESKI
czaweski@antonmediagroup.com
I
t is an alarming statistic that nearly 9 out of 10 daily cigarette smokers first try cigarettes by age 18. Even today, according to the New York State Youth Tobacco Survey, nearly 40 percent of high school seniors in New York State use e-cigarettes, and 27 percent of all high school youth vape. To help curb the rates of underage smokers, New York State recently passed a law prohibiting discounts on the sale of all tobacco products as of July 1. This includes banning coupons and multi-pack price promotions. The law being called a “significant victory” in combating Big Tobacco’s long history of marketing and pricing schemes that target youth, minority communities, low-income communities and people trying to quit, according to advocates of the law. The Surgeon General has called
raising prices on cigarettes “one of the most effective tobacco control interventions” because increasing price is proven to reduce smoking, especially among children. This measure is one of a number of tobacco control measures passed as part of the state’s fiscal year 2021 budget, including a new law that stops the shipping and/or delivery of e-cigarettes and vape products to private residences. Earlier this year on May 18, the state also ended the sale of all tobacco products in pharmacies as well as the sale of flavored e-cigarettes statewide. Paulette Orlando, community engagement specialist for Tobacco Action Coalition of Long Island, recently spoke with Anton Media Group to outline the importance of these sweeping changes.
Q A
Why is the new law an effective tobacco control intervention? Preventing and reducing tobacco use are the most important
public health actions that can be taken to improve the health of New Yorkers. We’ve succeeded in reducing the states average adult smoking rate to just 12.8 percent, but reducing tobacco use among certain groups that use tobacco at higher rates- such as adults living with frequent mental distress, adults enrolled in Medicaid, youth, and racial and ethnic minorities is the primary unmet need of tobacco control.
Q A
Does increasing the price of cigarettes reduce the number of packs that are purchased? We know that higher tobacco prices are linked to lower smoking rates, so putting an end to the tobacco industry’s ability to circumvent New York’s high taxes on
tobacco products is a win for public health statewide. The tobacco industry has a long history of marketing to youth and low socioeconomic and minority communities with price promotions. This is a huge step in preventing nicotine addiction.
Q
How will stopping the shipping and/ or delivery of e-cigarettes and vape products to private residences protect the youth? Over the past few years, I’ve listened to many parents across communities express their ongoing serious concerns with youth illegally purchasing e-cigarettes and vape products over the internet. Stopping the shipping and delivery

Pregnancy And The Liver P
regnancy is an exciting time filled with joy. Any abnormality such as the finding of liver test abnormalities during this time creates significant anxiety for the pregnant woman and the expectant father. This anxiety is made worse by the fact that liver disease in pregnancy is poorly understood. The good news is that most liver test abnormalities seen in pregnancy resolve with no effect on either the mother or newborn child/children. The cause is usually unknown and tends not to recur with subsequent pregnancies. Despite this reassuring fact, a physician must evaluate liver test abnormalities found during pregnancy as significant liver disease can occur during this period that could adversely affect the mother and/ or the child. The most common causes of abnormal liver tests in pregnancy are not specific to pregnancy and are mostly due to viral infections such as hepatitis A, medication use, the use of complementary or alternative medications and herbs and fatty liver. There are several conditions specific for pregnancy that need to be recognized, as they are associated with significant risk.
David Bernstein, MD
Nausea and vomiting are quite common during the first trimester of pregnancy. So common, in fact, that morning sickness is thought to be one of the first signs of pregnancy. Most morning sickness is easily managed or goes away on its own. Occasionally, the nausea and vomiting will become protracted and severe requiring hospitalization for intravenous fluids. At this stage, morning sickness has evolved into a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum. Abnormalities in liver tests are common in this condition. The development of hyperemesis gravidarum is associated with the first pregnancy, young age, smoking and obesity. The cause is unknown. If severe and the woman has difficulty maintaining her weight while pregnant, the fetus is at increased risk if intrauterine growth

retardation. Hyperemesis gravidarum however, is not associated with any longterm liver disease. Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is a condition unique to both pregnancy and oral contraceptive use and tends to occur in otherwise healthy women. This condition occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy and is marked by the development of severe itching. Liver test abnormalities are common and many expectant mothers develop jaundice. The cause is unknown although hormonal changes are felt to play a role in its development. It occurs more commonly among people of Latin American or Scandinavian descent. If mild, the itching is treatable with bile-acid resin binders such as cholestyramine. Ursodeoxycholic acid and phenobarbital have been successfully used to treat the itching. The only certain therapy, however, is delivery. With delivery, itching usually resolves within days and liver test abnormalities usually normalize within several weeks. This is a benign but frequently recurrent condition for the mother. Pregnant women who develop this need are at risk for the development of primary biliary cholangitis in the future. Intrahepatic cholestasis, however, is not benign for

the fetus, as it is associated with an increased rate of fetal distress, premature births and stillbirths. Two other conditions that are unique to pregnancy are worthy of mention. The HEELP syndrome (hemolytic anemia, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets) and acute fatty liver of pregnancy are conditions that occur in the third trimester. The causes for these disorders are unknown, but a growing body of research suggests that acute fatty liver of pregnancy may be an inherited disorder. People with these conditions usually complain of fatigue, abdominal pain, headache, nausea or vomiting. Once diagnosed, these conditions need to be treated immediately with delivery as both conditions can rapidly progress to coma and maternal death. Within two weeks of delivery, symptoms generally resolve and the event is self-limited. If delivery goes well, there are usually no long-term sequelae associated with either condition. Both conditions, however, are associated with an increased risk of maternal death, fetal intrauterine growth retardation and fetal death. Rarely, as was just reported in the news, acute fatty liver of pregnancy can worsen in the mother after delivery requiring a liver transplant to save the mother. The take-home message is that while most liver test abnormalities in pregnancy are benign and resolve spontaneously, all these abnormalities should be evaluated to ensure that the rare, worrisome conditions are not present.

SMOKE OUT from page 4A of e-cigarettes and vapor products to private residences is another important protection for our youth. This law helps prevent illegal sales of e-cigarette/vapor products including sales to youth and sales of products without FDA review. Previously, only online sales of cigarettes, Roll Your Own tobacco and smokeless tobacco were restricted.
Q A
Are more youths vaping than smoking in 2020? Yes, currently in New York State 4.8 percent (45,600) of high school students smoke compared to 27.4 percent of high school students that vape. There was a troubling rise in high school-e-cigarette use from 2018-19. In 2018, 3.6 million youth were using tobacco products, compared to 5 million in 2019. This increase in youth use of vaping products is reversing years of progress and creating the possibility of a new generation becoming addicted to tobacco and nicotine products.
try, and nicotine is what keeps them addicted. For decades, the tobacco industry has marketed its products towards youth: flavored tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, are the industry’s latest tactic that appeals to kids. Most of the youth who use tobacco products choose flavored tobacco products and most youth who have ever used tobacco report that the first product they tried was flavored.
Q A
What is the next challenge your organization is hoping to address? Tobacco companies continue to permeate communities by disproportionately marketing menthol cigarettes. Menthol products are easier to start because of the familiarity of the mint flavor and their soothing and cooling effects, and they can be harder to quit. Use of menthol cigarettes is more common among youth, female smokers, LGBT smokers, those with mental illness and racial and ethnic minorities, Why do you think vaping is so especially African-Americans. So, popular among youths? while the number of people smoking We know marketing attracts continues to decrease, the presence youth to e-cigarettes. [The] of menthol on the market continues flavors are what gets the youth to to be an issue.

Be Beautiful in Your Own Skin!
Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg can help you overcome cellulite with Cellulaze™, a new treatment that targets cellulite at its source, which lies below the skin. Using fiber optic laser technology, this procedure reduces the dimpling effect of cellulite while stimulating collagen production for a thicker, smoother, and more elastic skin tone. Cellulite occurs because of circumstances beyond your control, which can make this dimpling of the skin on the thighs and buttocks especially frustrating. The Cellulaze™ Procedure targets the bands of connective tissue to dramatically reduce the indentations that appear on the skin’s surface. The procedure begins with the administration of a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Next, Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg makes two very tiny incisions, each about the size of the tip of an ink pen. The Cellulaze™ laser fibers are threaded through a cannula (a very small tube) that is inserted through the incision site. The laser releases the bands of connective tissue and levels the larger bumps of fat. Meanwhile, the thermal energy produced by the laser stimulates collagen production (collagen is a group of natural

proteins that give skin its youthful elasticity). During this process, some of the fat cells will liquefy, and they will be gently pressed out from beneath the skin. In total, the Cellulaze™ procedure typically takes between one and one-and-a-half hours to complete. Cellulaze™ is a procedure that involves very little downtime. Ninety-three percent of patients who have undergone Cellulaze™ have reported being satisfied with their results. Further studies have shown that after a year, Cellulaze™ patients achieve 25 percent thicker skin and 29 percent more skin elasticity. Living with cellulite can be incredibly frustrating. Diet and exercise cannot reduce cellulite. Liposuction and non-invasive procedures like Coolsculpt and Emsculpt trim down fat, tone and reshape your body, but can’t get rid of cellulite. Fortunately, Cellulaze™ is helping many patients to achieve dramatic, long-lasting cellulite reduction. Don’t wait any longer to start feeling confident and beautiful in your own skin.

The town’s hatchery, opened last fall, was launched with the goal of populating Oyster Bay Harbor with two million additional clams and oysters. These efforts generate economic benefits for the shellfish industry and environmental benefits that include improved water quality as each shellfish filters gallons of water per day. “Oyster Bay Harbor has long been considered one of the crown jewels of Oyster Bay, and we’ve done more than ever before to improve its water quality,” Saladino said. “From our

allow the clams to mature prior to final seeding. Additionally, the Town of Oyster Bay purchases two million seed clams annually for placement in the bay. Once successful, the town will expand its clam and oyster seeding operation from the hatchery to the south shore where the town already works in partnership with other municipalities, the DEC, Cornell Cooperative, Stonybrook University and the New York Department of State to improve water quality in the Great South Bay. “The environmental initiatives we take on today will preserve the quality, resiliency, and natural beauty of our local waterways for generations to come,” Councilman Imbroto said. “Protecting our natural assets is a top priority and by restoring and reseeding our shellfish populations, we not only strengthen the local economy, but also ensure we are working to keep our waters clean.” —Submitted by the Town of Oyster Bay

A fan dating back to the group’s early days, Ellwood helmed what became a two-year project that launched in 2018. “They actually came to me, decided that they wanted to make a film and were ready to do that,” Ellwood recalled. “I absolutely wanted to do it and we agreed to do it. Then it took some convincing to get them to actually do it. The biggest challenge was having to cut it to time because there was so much fun stuff we had to edit out. That’s not a bad problem to have, but a tough one since it’s hard making those choices.” The 98-minute film does a solid job weaving in fresh interviews with the band, along with ex-Go-Go’s (Elissa Bello, Margot Olavarria, Paula Jean Brown); former manager Ginger Canzoneri; and IRS Records founder Miles Copeland, who initially signed the band to his label. The inclusion of archival footage from the band’s early days playing venues like The Masque and the Elks Lodge strikes a particularly intriguing note, tracing the Go-Go’s sound to
their little-discussed punk roots. Ellwood’s editing follows how the GoGo’s sanded off their early rough edges and honed it into the guitar-driven pop that powered their breakthrough success, landing them an opening slot for The Police and on multiple Rolling Stone magazine covers. The early part of the group’s history came as a surprise to Ellwood. “I didn’t know how deeply rooted they were in the punk scene,” she said. “I always assumed that they were more pop always. It’s fun to see their progression, even with the pop punk. When they start playing ‘We Got the Beat,’ they play it very punk and then they start slowing it down. That early footage showed how fun and funky they were when they started out.” Inevitably, substance abuse, creative differences and ego-driven personality conflicts led to fissures in the group that led to Canzoneri’s dismissal. Wiedlin’s decision to quit in 1984 and finally Carlisle and Caffey summoning Valentine and Schock to their new manager’s office to inform them the band was being dissolved in May 1985. Hearing the latter two
recount the callous manner in how this news was delivered is still jarring and disturbing, even if it happened three decades-plus after the fact. Since that breakup, the Go-Go’s have reunited a handful of times, collaborated on a Broadway musical based on their canon (Head Over Heels) and even recorded a its first new song in 20 years, “Club Zero.” The band’s 40th anniversary tour is postponed until 2021 due to the pandemic. For those needing a Go-Go’s fix, the candid nature of the documentary makes for both engrossing and uncomfortable viewing. For Ellwood, a greater good came out of this project. “The really good thing about this project is that it resulted in some healing and the band finally got to talk about some of the stuff that happened that they kept inside and might have held grudges over,” Ellwood explained. “So there is real healing there. It shows that they can look at the film, have enough perspective about what they went through with their relationships and be able to forgive. And that’s enormous and exciting for me.”

PATRICIA McCANN
To her nieces and nephews, “AUNT PAT” Okay (in the voice of Pat) our Aunt Pat was a real “broad”. She was a woman who knew what she wanted and when she wanted it. She liked her eggs tight and her coffee light. She smoked, she drank and she took NO crap from NO-body. In one of the many tall tales of the McCanns, legend has it she was anointed the title of “Lady Marshall” at a young age to keep order over the rough and tumble streets of Sullivan and Clayton Ave. She was not one to be trifled with ... especially if you messed with her brothers and sisters. She loved mayonnaise, butter, and put salt on everything; she put it on her food before she tasted it, even in soup. She once showered with a turkey. She was frank, but witty, and she was short but mighty. At age 8, I swear I saw her lift a tree - a whole tree. She had many talents; photography was not one of them. While she loved a camera and a good photo op, 98% of her photos came out headless. She was a great nurse, the best. She was smart as a whip and loved to read, she had an endless curiosity so she devoured books. She loved the opera and any movie or TV show that had a good sleuth. She operated at a different frequency than the rest of us; part of why we believe she was told by every tarot card reader, fortune teller, medium and carnie that we encountered throughout her life that she had “the gift.” She was a gift to us. She was feisty and tough as nails. She beat cancer. She loved her family. She included everyone in any kind of event; from a deli outing to a Derby extravaganza. She attended her nieces and nephews first days, from elementary school to their college graduations. She was always on your side and would provide you with words of wisdom, she defined empathy. She didn’t judge, she listened... which was ironic because she was deaf in one ear and couldn’t hear a goddamn thing. She was silly and had an infectious laugh. She loved Willie Nelson and always wanted to have a glowing tan. She had tiny ankles and chicken legs. She was kind; so very, very kind. She had a big heart. If you said you liked something, she would run out and buy you three. Everyone who met her loved her. Everyone! She will be missed greatly. There will be a void. She was one of a kind. Patricia McCann, our Aunt Pat

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Connections are the real gold in your life. When you’re hanging out with friends physically, virtually, conversationally -- whatever form it takes -- it may feel like you’re not accomplishing anything productive. The truth is that there is little in life that is more important or valuable than the bonds you build in those moments. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This is a lucky social cycle. Your relationships are just getting better. It’s partly because you’re figuring out how to communicate more effectively. It’s also because you’re making an effort to know more people, and you’re meeting people who match your mind and depth of heart and share some of your values. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know what it feels like to be on the outside or at least to think that you are. For the most part, being on the outside or the inside is just a perception -- and a perception that can change at that! Rise above the situation and figure out the game. Also, recognize that such games are unnecessary in loving situations. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be slightly more assertive about getting your needs met and wishes heard. This may have to do with setting up your daily life to serve your own rhythms. Don’t let the others dictate your timing. You’ve an excellent instinct for setting a pace that others will fall in line with, and this will be healthier for all. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The master of ceremonies calls out the acts and seems to be in charge of the whole circus, but of course, the most powerful one is not wearing a tall hat. People come to see the lions. Special precautions are taken to cater to, learn and contain a lion. A lion’s power isn’t shown in barking and promises. Their power just is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). An abundance of inner confidence has you steering away from triviality. You will be mightily effective as you rise above the pettiness you come across. It will take compassion, which comes easily to you, especially when you realize that people who are obsessing over trivial matters are dealing with a deeper lack. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Strong feelings are welling up in you, and they need expression. Don’t pick and choose what gets to be aired. Find a safe place or a safe method in which you can give everything air. Blow out your emotions through talk, movement, art or other methods. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Once upon a time, you did certain things to cope and survive that you wouldn’t choose now, but you also recognize that you didn’t know any better. You’ll extend that compassion to others this week, and everyone will be raised by what you learn together in the process. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your rules for yourself are far more stringent than any imposed by society and your demands of yourself go beyond that required by any authority or partner. Are you being too tough on yourself? Unlikely. This week, you’ll find the high bar motivating and, ultimately, it’s what puts you in a league of your own. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Change is the aim. Change won’t be fast or easy. It won’t be glamorous or particularly fun. Change will be what it usually is... a series of experiments. Are you willing to trudge through lots of different methods until you find one that works for you? If so, you will find success that lasts. Keep going until you do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The right choice isn’t always the feel-good choice. No endeavor or relationship is going to make you happy all of the time, and if it could, then it wouldn’t be good for you. Choose the endeavor that you’re willing to suffer for. Choose the person that you won’t mind being hurt by. These are the choices that will fortify you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A growth mindset is admirable and appropriate. But if you put too much focus on becoming who you want to be, it’s a rejection of who you are right now. You’ll get the most mileage out of your desire to improve when you make sure to accept, love and care for yourself exactly as you are right now.

Jets, Giants Players Opt Out Of NFL Season League’s lack of preventative COVID-19 protocols forces NFL athletes to make tough decisions BY JOSEPH WOLKIN
T
jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com
he New York Giants and New York Jets are doing the best they can to piece together a team for the upcoming NFL season. However, dozens of football stars have opted out of playing in 2020 due to concerns that the league is set to follow in the scary path of the MLB, which is seeing coronavirus cases spike after a mere two weeks of play. Both of the area teams have multiple players opting out. Higher risk players, such as Giants OT Nate Solder, receive a $350,000 stipend. To receive this, a player must have a prior diagnosis of one or more of the CDC’s COVID-19 risk factors. Players’ original salaries will carry over to the 2021 season. “Our family has health concerns, most notably our son’s ongoing battle with cancer, as well as my own bout with cancer,” Solder, who survived a cancer scare less than five years ago. “With fear and trembling, we struggle to keep our priorities in order and, for us, our children’s health and the health of our neighbors comes before football.” On the Jets, LB C.J. Mosley and OL Leo Koloamatangi both opted out of season. Mosley, a four-time Pro Bowl defender, is one of the biggest names to opt out. On the final day to opt out, WR Josh Doctson did so. “Because of COVID, my family is my support system with my son,” Mosley said during an event with the Wounded Warrior Project on Facebook Live. “I didn’t want to risk that obviously. Just looking at the big picture, for me, I want to make sure I’m mentally and physically the best person I can be so I can be that leader I know I can be.” Prior to the pandemic, Mosley was expected to lead the Jets’ defensive charge. He signed with Gang Green last year, but a groin injury sidelined him for the majority of the season. Now, he’ll have another full season to prepare for his return to the Meadowlands. For Big Blue, WR Da’Mari Scott and CB Sam Beal are also opting out of the 2020 season. Scott was already low on the Giants’ depth chart, only

appearing in five games last year. But Beal, a 2018 NFL Supplemental Draft pick, entered the league with much excitement. He was the highest-drafted player in the supplemental draft since 2012. However, he’s only played six games since he was drafted because of an ongoing shoulder injury, as well as hamstring issues. Players had until Aug. 6 to opt out of the NFL season. All decisions are final. The players who voluntarily opt out of the season will receive a $150,000 stipend, a salary advance of sorts. Only that stipend will count against an organization’s salary cap, rather than the stipend plus the individual player’s salary itself. Once the season begins, players can opt out if they have a family member who contracts the coronavirus. Those players can receive the $150,000 stipend, and they’ll still have the money they earn for whatever game(s) they participate in during the regular season.
As more players, such as former Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., speak out against the NFL’s plan to bring the league back during the pandemic, it is unclear what will happen. The training camps currently taking place are fragile, with player-on-player contact limited. With about a month until the NFL season is set to get going, the league has many unknowns that still need to be answered. The MLB just issued a face-covering mandate for both players and staff, as well as limiting the activities of those traveling. Everyone must wear masks at the hotels they travel to besides when they are alone in their rooms. The NFL said it will fine players up to $50,000 for breaking its COVID-19 mandates. The league will have daily coronavirus testing, as well as giving players and staff a Kinexon Proximity Recording device, which will let them know if they’re too close to someone. The device is a key for contact tracing
in the league because if someone tests positive, the device will have data of who they’ve been close to. Players who attend large indoor parties can also be fined. And if a team does not take the necessary action against a player or players who are not following the protocols, the organization itself can be punished. Visit www.playsmartplaysafe.com to see the full 20-page list of protocols that the NFL is taking for the season. The NBA and NHL are currently setting the standard for sports leagues attempting to make a safe comeback by putting players in a “bubble.” Both leagues offered players an opt-out option, and those who did not opt out had to quarantine in a hotel room by themselves for two weeks before team practices began.
