Cannabis Task Force Hears From Experts BY CAROLINE RYAN
T
cryan@antonmediagroup.com
he Town of North Hempstead’s (TONH) recently appointed Cannabis Task Force held it’s first of three listening sessions on Aug. 24. “This task force is in charge of certain responsibilities,” Town of North Hempstead Clerk Wayne Wink said. “This is the first of three sessions that we are going to hold in order to provide information to solicit, ellicit and to hear information from all of you. The purpose of the task force is to conduct these listening sessions and gather public input on the issue of whether or not the town should choose to opt out or opt in with the current state law, MRTA.” The Task Force, comprised of residents and experts in various fields such as business, health and public safety, will advise the town board of their recommendation at the end of the three sessions. Under New York State legislation, cities, towns and villages can render their own decisions regarding recreational marijuana sales in their areas. They have until Dec. 31, 2021 to render a decision, but if they decide not to opt out, that decision is permanent. During the Tuesday meeting, members of the Task Force listened to a number of experts who spoke about the effect the potential approval of the sale of recreational and on-site consumption of cannabis may have on the town. Elizabeth Kase was the first panelist to speak during the listening session. Kase is a partner at Abrams Fensterman where she is Chair of the Criminal Law Department and CoChair of the Cannabis Law Practice Group. Kase notably touched upon the tax revenues the town might receive if they opted-in. “It is predicted that within approximately one to two years of those applications being granted, you will start to see those economies filling in,” Kase said. “Once those stores are open, from what we have seen from other states, cannabis industry did very well in COVID. That was deemed an essential business by most states and with that designation, the millions of dollars of revenue, even in Illinois when it had

just started in January 2020 ahead of the pandemic was an unbelievable beginning for the state’s tax dollars. It was much more than expected.” One Manhasset resident addressed her concerns to the task force stating the potential negative impacts allowing cannabis in the town might have on young teenagers. “What has brought us here tonight concerns me so deeply,” she said. “I am urging everyone here to strongly consider the ramifications if we don’t choose to opt out of allowing sale of recreational marijuana in our local community. Once we invite it in—there’s no turning back. If you need to get it medicinally go for it. If you’re an adult, go for it— get it somewhere else, but not in our town and not for a tax break.” The second panelist was Jennifer DeSena, executive director of the Manhasset Coalition Against Substance Abuse (CASA) and an attorney by trade. DeSena spoke about the importance of preventing marijuana related tragedies, especially for those who may be driving under the influence. “Our goal is prevention,” DeSena said. “We are successful when tragedy doesn’t happen. We don’t have the tools to deal with marijuana impaired drivers. We must do everything we can to educate our community about the risks of today’s potent marijuana for the users and for others on the roads. When you’re a member of a community, particularly a leader, you
make decisions that protect the greater good—not just your own wishes. When we consider opting out of retail stores and consumption sites we have to consider the greater good of all the residents.” DeSena further stated that the town should opt-out to “protect the vulnerable and to serve the greater good.” On the topic of safe driving, DeSena noted a recent study, which stated that “almost half of teenagers who regularly use pot admit they have gotten behind the wheel while stoned. Overall twice as many teens have reported driving under the influence of marijuana than admit to drinking and driving.” The last panelist was Jeffrey Schultz, a partner at Feuerstein Kulick. Schultz focuses on advising private equity funds, and advising cannabis industry operators on M&A and capital raising, banking laws, state-law cannabis compliance, corporate governance, intellectual property matters and strategic partnerships. During his presentation, Schultz stressed the importance of providing safe access to cannabis. He stated that the town could implement zoning regulations, which would prevent dispensaries from operating a certain distance from a school. “To the extent that there are concerns over safe access and children getting access, that is a huge concern of mine,” Schultz. “I think regulating the industry and having dispensaries in
certain localities actually decreases the likelihood that children over the age of 21 gain access to it. They shouldn’t have any access to it.” Schultz stated how important it is to regulate the market in order to prevent teenagers from gaining access to it. “Last time I checked, my kids can go into a liquor store with me and be mis-educated about everything on the shelves,” Schultz said. “That cannot happen in this market, not under the MRTA. You cannot even walk in. You can’t walk in with an expired license if you’re 50 years old. They will not let you in. The rules in New York are going to be very strict. Nobody wants anyone under the age of 21—the evidence around cannabis consumption for teenagers is difficult to refute. It creates problems and we should regulate it as such. But acting like it’s not going to be in our communities is only going to serve to harm them.” The next meeting will be held on Monday, Sept. 27 at 1 p.m. at Clinton G. Martin Park, 1601 Marcus Ave., New Hyde Park. The following meeting will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 19 at 6 p.m. at the “Yes We Can” Community Center, 141 Garden St., Westbury.

Produced by Media Librarian Tony Traguardo and Library tech Brian Viner, the concerts will cover everything from folk music by Joni Mitchell to classic rock and a cappella harmonies. “We have something for everyone,” says Traguardo. All of the concerts are completely free and open to the public and will take place at the John Phillip Sousa Memorial Bandshell in Sunset Park near the town dock. Audience members are encouraged to social distance, wear a mask and bring their own chairs. Staff from the Port Washington Public Library (as part of their PWPL On the Go Campaign) will be in attendance at the start of the event handing out free swag, providing residents with library card signup forms and speaking to audience members about the latest offerings and services such as the Library of Games and Gadgets and the Museum Pass Program. Lineup is subject to change. This event series is made possible by the Friends of the Library.

During their end of the year party on August 12, the group of energetic fabulous Red Devils children and coaches presented members of Cancer Care with a check for $5,022.00. The monies raised this year were nearly three times more than last year. It was truly inspiring to see these determined, selfless kids give up their Saturday morning to raise money for this great cause. And more so to see them so happy to donate the money they raised. It is just as the back of their team t-shirts say, “Making Waves for CancerCare.” It is not so surprising based on the leadership and example the swimmers are following and the encouragement and

Drip Irrigation Is A Great Way For Port Residents To Conserve Water W
ater conservation is among the Port Washington Water District’s (PWWD) biggest priorities, and the members of its Board of Commissioners believe in practicing what they preach. That is why District Chairman David Brackett recently had a drip irrigation system installed on his property in order to keep his lawn and plants well-nourished while saving as much water as possible. “Promoting water conservation is one of the most important things we do at the Port Washington Water District, especially during the summer,” Chairman Brackett said. “Installing drip irrigation systems into one’s home is one of the best ways to conserve water while still keeping your property beautiful. I could not be happier with my new system and I encourage all of the District’s residents to consider having it installed on their property as well.” Uniformity is key with drip irrigation systems. The system’s tubing is pressure compensated, which means that each drop of water put into the ground will be within five percent of the same size as one another. Every 12-inch interval of tubing emits about 0.6 gallons of water each hour and the tubes themselves are 24 inches apart, preventing any single area from becoming too dry or too wet. After 30 minutes of runtime, the system will have applied a quarter of an inch of water. Evaporation with these systems is much lower because the water is applied directly to the ground. Mulch also helps prevent water from evaporating out of the ground and protects the tubing. Check valves inside the tubing prevent water from draining out when the system is shut off, which helps maintain uniformity. When the system comes on for the next cycle, there are no loud hissing noises as it refills to start watering. The reason that the PWWD encourages water conservation
Irrigation Association of New York Trustee Mike Dwyer (left) explained the intricacies of drip irrigation and why it is a great way to conserve water to Port Water District Chairman David Brackett while installing the system at the Chairman’s home. so strongly is that it helps the District keep some of its wells offline while they are treated for emerging contaminants.

Town Reminds Residents About Upcoming S.T.O.P. Program Dates Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board would like to remind residents about the upcoming Stop Throwing Out Pollutants (S.T.O.P.) event. The next S.T.O.P event will be held on Sunday, Sept. 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at North Hempstead Beach Park’s North Lot. “The Town is pleased to be able to continue to offer a convenient and environmentally responsible way for our residents to dispose of household hazardous waste, sensitive documents and e-waste all in one convenient location,” Bosworth said. The S.T.O.P. program offers Town of North Hempstead residents the opportunity to dispose of dangerous and chemical wastes that cannot be disposed of with routine curbside pickups. Residents can return items such as aerosols, household chemicals,
pesticides, disinfectants, fertilizers, bulbs, thermostats, rechargeable and lithium batteries, TVs and computers. Latex and water-based paints, once dried out (usually 24-36 hours after the lid is removed) can be placed in a trash bag and thrown out with your regular household garbage. Latex and water-based paints will not be accepted at the S.T.O.P. collection site. Oil-based paints, on the other hand, are considered hazardous and will be accepted at any S.T.O.P. program. Residents may also bring their sensitive documents to the S.T.O.P. event for proper shredding and destruction to prevent identity theft. Any documents brought will be shredded on site by a document shredding company and then transported to a pulping mill for recycling. There is a limit of six “Bankers Box” sized boxes or bags of
paper per car, per day. Once the documents are shredded, they will be placed into containers and sent directly to pulping mills. Every 2,000 pounds of paper the town recycles equates to 17 trees saved. The town will be collecting pharmaceuticals at several events throughout the year. Please continue to check the town’s website and social media pages for the latest information. The S.T.O.P. events will also have a clothing donation area. Gently used and working clothes, stuffed animals, electronics, toys, sporting equipment, shoes, books, small area rugs, bikes, scooters, luggage, picture frames, table lamps, bolts of fabric, silverware, glassware, dishes and cosmetics will be collected. Participants must be residents of North Hempstead
(no commercial vehicles will be allowed) and need to show a driver’s license or other valid proof of residency. Only potentially hazardous household products and e-waste will be accepted. For safety reasons, residents also must remain in their vehicle while event staff removes items to be discarded. Please also leave pets at home so staff can safely remove items from your vehicle. An additional S.T.O.P program will be held Saturday, Nov. 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at North Hempstead Beach Park (North Lot). For more information on the S.T.O.P. program, call 311 or 516-8696311 or visit northhempsteadny.gov/stopprogram. —Submitted by the Town of North Hempstead

AROUND LONG TOPISLAND STORY
Masks Will Be Required In Schools
New governor moves quickly on school reopening plans BY FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com
W
hen it comes to things like mask mandates or vaccination requirements for students and teachers, there are no easy answers and plenty of controversy. There are videos of parents angrily protesting masking requirements for their kids. In New York City, some teachers have declared they will not comply with Mayor Bill de Blasio’s mandatory vaccination requirement for instructors. Southern governors like Ron DeSantis in Florida and Greg Abbott in Texas have courted controversy by forbidding masking in schools and vaccine mandates. Some argue local school districts should have more control on how they handle reopening, since they best know their condition. But ultimately, the state’s health and education departments, at the direction of the governor, will decide policies. New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, on her first day in office, Aug. 24, stated, “My number one priority is getting children back to school and protecting the environment so they can learn safely. I am immediately directing the Department of Health to institute universal masking for anyone entering our schools, and we are launching a Back to School COVID-19 testing program to make testing for students and staff widely available and convenient. We are also working to require vaccinations for all school personnel with an option to test out weekly, and we are going to accomplish all of this by working in partnership with all levels of government.” The requirements apply to private schools as well, and the Department of Health is expected to issue regulations shortly. The governor, according
to a press release, “will also school right around the corner. pursue options to mandate I’m a mom. I can understand vaccines for school employees the stress levels are off the or require weekly testing in charts. So we have to first of the absence of vaccines, and all have mandatory masks, will continue to work with the which is something that is not Department of Health, universally popular, education stakebut I think it’s holders and the an important legislature step toward on estabgetting lishing the safety in I don’t have the executive schools.” mandate.” power to mandate vaccinaOn Aug.

implementation of vaccine requirements and other COVID policies.” Assemblyman Ed Ra (R-Franklin Square) said he was “appreciative of Governor Hochul’s desire to establish a significantly different tone and operation than the previous administration. In particular, [Hochul] recently stated she would combat COVID-19 with a more collaborative approach instead of top-down decision making. The new policies announced [Aug. 24] would benefit from such an approach.” He continued, “Throughout the 2020-21 school year, I heard from parents who were frustrated by the one-size-fitsall approach that proved to be too rigid to changing circumstances and was subject to the whims of the governor alone. It was made clear earlier this summer from the state that local districts would be empowered to make decisions based on what is best for their school communities. It was understood they would be in direct consultation with local health officials. Now, days before the start of the new school year, new mandates have been announced without details. I urge the governor to respect local control wherever possible and to go through the proper legislative process when adopting statewide policies rather than reverting to the process of her predecessor.”
Vaccines For Kids According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), about 4.5 million children have been infected with COVID-19 since the pandemic began. Studies have suggested that they are less likely than adults to become seriously ill. However, with the advent of the Delta variant, the number of seriously ill children has
risen. Per AAP stats, about 180,000 children have been infected one recent week. Children ages 12 to 15 are eligible to receive the PfizerBioNTech vaccine. Previously, it was the only vaccine available for 16- and 17-year-olds. The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are only available to those 18 and over. According to the state COVID-19 vaccine demographics page, 57.5 percent of the population in ages 12 to 15 has received at least one dose. All three companies said that they are studying their vaccines in younger age groups, with the eventual aim of giving those as young as six months the jab. Pfizer-BioNTech stated its study in children ages 5 to 11 should be completed this fall. The one for younger children will be done early next year. Moderna said of 3,700 12- to 17-year-old study volunteers who were given its vaccine, no one developed the virus. In a statement, state Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker said, “Our highest priority is helping to ensure the health and safety of our students and educators as we work together to combat COVID-19. Since early July, COVID-19 cases in New York have risen tenfold and 95 percent of sequenced positive cases were confirmed to be Delta variant. Based on incidence and prevalence, our findings demonstrate the necessity of layered prevention strategies, including this mask requirement. While a simple measure of prevention, requiring masks now is crucial for protecting the health of our children and ensuring we can get our students back in their schools this fall.” To comment on this story, email frizzo@ antonmedia group.com

Responsibilities of her new position include management of board of education policies and superintendent’s regulations, coordination of the application process for all grants, serving as the liaison between the district and federal, state and local agencies, and institutional researcher in compiling data and preparing reports for the board of education and governmental agencies. “I am most looking forward to learning more about the district as a whole and the day-to-day operations
that make our district run so well,” she said. “I am excited and eager to take on this new role and have an impact on the district level.” As of July 1, Katie Fernandez moved from assistant principal of Fairfield Elementary School to supervisor of STEM, in which she will serve all six elementary schools. She will be responsible for the overall supervision and development of curriculum, instruction and initiatives in mathematics, science, technology and engineering, including overseeing the Magnet enrichment program. Fernandez said that her primary goal will be working with elementary administrators and teachers to give students exciting, hands-on learning opportunities, with a focus on New York State’s Next Generation Standards in math and science. “We are fortunate to have a STEM program that provides enrichment for all students,” Fernandez said. “As a district, we want to engage, motivate and inspire our students through a well-developed STEM curriculum.” Fernandez, a Massapequa High School graduate, holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology from SUNY Old Westbury, a master’s degree in elementary education from Adelphi University
and an advanced certificate in school building and district leadership from LIU Post. She said she is very grateful for the two years she spent as part of the Fairfield community and thanks Principal Dr. Kristi Gerhard and teachers, staff, students, and families for such a wonderful experience.

This includes supervision of physical education department staff, curriculum leadership and coordination of athletic events. Rath holds a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Adelphi University, a master’s degree in liberal studies from Stony Brook University and a certificate in educational leadership from Stony Brook. He has continued growing his knowledge through his involvement in several professional organizations including the American Football Coaches Association, Society of Health and Physical Educators, New York State Association for Health, P.E.,
Recreation and Dance, New York State Athletic Administrators Association, New York State Basketball Coaches Association and American Baseball Coaches Association. “I’m excited about the opportunity to assist in the growth of a physical education and athletics program at Massapequa High School that already is at an extremely high level,” he said. “I’m looking forward to positively influencing students’ lives in a different capacity.” John Watson joins Massapequa from the Wantagh School District and will serve as the supervisor of mathematics for grades 6-12. This is his 16th year in education. Watson worked in Wantagh for five years as the supervisor of mathematics and business. Prior to that, he was in Deer Park schools including four years as curriculum associate of mathematics and business and seven years as a teacher at Deer Park High School. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Stony Brook University, a master’s degree in adolescent education in mathematics from Adelphi University and a certificate in school administration from Stony Brook, and is a member of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. “I’m most looking forward to working with a collegial team who shares the same view of teaching students to their highest abilities and being able to make an impact on the Massapequa community,” he said. —Submitted by the Massapequa School District

Hicksville FD Announces 20th Anniversary 9/11 Commemoration Memorial Service
H
icksville Volunteer Fire Department Chief Gary Lewis recently announced the final plans to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of September 11. The Hicksville Fire Department will commemorate the somber anniversary on Saturday, Sept. 11, at the Strong Street Fire Station memorial. The memorial was erected in memory of Ex-Chief Terrence Farrell and Honorary Chief George Howard, both who lost their lives while performing rescue efforts on September 11, 2001. This year, the ceremony will take place on the actual day of when the attacks took place 20 years ago. The memorial program will be kicked off when Lewis and his members march to the memorial at the corner of West John Street and Strong Street. Once Lewis calls
his detail to attention, the ceremonies will begin. Invited guests and members of the community will pay solemn thoughts and pay tribute to Farrell, Howard and members of the Hicksville Community who died tragically. The ceremonies start promptly at 9:45 a.m., with a presentation of colors under the American Flag detail by its Hook and Ladder apparatus and feature remembrances and prayers offered for the departed, by Pastor Rev. Jamie Aguilera. The ceremonies generally last about 45 minutes and again, this year the department will feature a special remembrance in memory of those Hicksville residents that perished that fateful day. Additionally, there will be two pauses during the ceremony, one at 10:03 and the other at 10:28 a.m. These two pauses will
signify the collapse of the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center. The Iglesia Cristiana Manantial Abierto congregation will provide musical selections and prayers during the ceremony. The program will include a member of the military playing “Taps” when the wreaths are placed by the Officers of Company 3 and 5. Residents will be offered the opportunity to lay a single carnation at the base of the memorial at the conclusion of the ceremony. The Hicksville Fire Department invites the families of those who once called Hicksville home to participate in the program. If any family members are interested, they should contact Chairperson Karl Schweitzer at 631-404-7791. —Submitted by the Hicksville Fire Department

Rick Volpe Receives RotaCare’s Humanitarian Service Award
ue to the pandemic, RotaCare held their first virtual Phantom Ball fundraiser earlier this summer in support of its work to facilitate free health care for the relief of pain and suffering to those who have the most need and the least access to medical care. The Phantom Ball honored Rick Volpe, President and CEO of Van Buren Buick GMC with a Humanitarian Service Award. Community service has been part of Volpe’s life for many years. As a member of the Ed Smith Mineola Lions Club for more than 25 years, he served as president of the club twice. As a Lion, Volpe has helped raise a tremendous amount of money distributed to local charities that support the blind and blind causes. The Phantom Ball raised an unprecedented $75,000. Patrons were able to purchase traditional sponsorships and journal ads as if they were
attending a traditional gala. Since an in-person event was fogoed, the Phantom Ball allowed RotaCare to raise funds needed without the added costs of an event. This results in even more contributions directly supporting RotaCare’s lifesaving work. There are more than 28 million people in this country without health insurance. A great number of the uninsured are the working poor who are often in dire need of medical attention and have little or no access to health care. To address the needs of the uninsured in Nassau County, RotaCare was initiated in 1992 by members of the MineolaGarden City Rotary Club working with the Interfaith Nutrition Network (INN) and local hospitals and other community minded people. An all-volunteer operation, the doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses and clerical staff all are committed to giving quality
health care to those in need. RotaCare was adopted as a Rotary District 7250 project and has been supported ever since by Rotary clubs and other concerned companies, organizations and individuals. Every year, more than 100 volunteers handle more than 2,000 patient visits. For these individuals, it’s the road back to a healthy and productive life. The Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club recognizes the seven members of the club who serve on the RotaCare Board of Directors. They are Jim Brady, Gary Fishberg, Tom Gelsdorf, Bob Schoelle, Helmut Schuler, the Very Rev. Michael Sniffen and Ray Sikorski.

Village Responds To Tropical Storm Henri Tropical Storm Henri dumped several inches of rain and triggered flash flood warnings in Garden City over the weekend, but spared the area from high winds as its track turned further east than originally expected. As the storm approached, all department heads and supervisors readied vehicles and equipment. All contractor work sites and equipment were secured, along with any village-related fieldwork sites. The village coordinated with other governmental agencies, including the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management and PSEGLI. Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi provided Mayor Cosmo Veneziale with an update regarding the village’s readiness, which was then communicated to the entire board of trustees. Mayor Veneziale personally thanks the police department, fire department, recreation department, sanitation
department, Public Works and village administration for the coordinated effort during the storm. The Department of Public Works (DPW) Highway Department and Mechanic Shop looked over several pumps, chainsaws, trucks and pay loaders to make sure they were all in good working order. In addition, all equipment got fueled up on Friday. “We were prepared for flooding, downed trees or anything else Mother Nature threw at us,” DPW Deputy Superintendent Domenick Stanco said. Street department employees were called in to pump out catch basins at various areas throughout the village that were flooding streets. Basins were at and overcapacity in some locations. Crews also put out barricades in flooded areas to close off streets in case the storm intensified. On Friday and again on Sunday crews cleaned debris in front

of catch basin inlets. The fire department was able to rescue several occupants who were trapped in their vehicles and assisted the police department in preventing countless other vehicles from becoming trapped in flooded sections of the village. On top of the flooding condition calls, the fire department responded to
13 alarms over the weekend. “We were coordinating and preparing for the past week in anticipation of the hurricane hitting Long Island. The chief’s office attended numerous Zoom conferences with the County and we were kept up to date with the path of the storm,” Chief Devyn Moody said. Numerous resources were made available with the help of Nassau County and the Office of Emergency Management. All apparatus and equipment was refueled and operational in the event of an emergency. “As with every storm/natural disaster that may occur, members were stationed at the firehouses for emergency response throughout the Village in case an emergency presented itself,” Moody added. Between Aug. 21 and 23, police officers responded to 29 storm-related calls, including a transformer fire, an accident, a house fire, dislodged manhole covers, flooding conditions,
disabled vehicles, burglary alarms, fire alarms and fallen tree limbs. Further, the water department was also on site to monitor and maintain all village well sites in the case of power failure. The storm tracked further east than originally predicted, sparing the area from high winds and downed trees. In fact, only one tree fell as a result of the storm, on Clinton Road near Pell Terrace. “ We actually had a fairly quiet weekend,” Recreation and Parks Commissioner Paul Blake said. Crews spent Friday and Saturday preparing for the storm by securing anything that could be blown away, and by preparing equipment and vehicles for the storm. Pool staff removed all umbrellas from tables and stacked chairs. Recreation facilities were closed on Sunday as per Commissioner Blake. —Submitted by the Village of Garden City

Great Neck Man Indicted On Rape And Sex Abuse Charges
cting Nassau County District Attorney Joyce A. Smith announced the indictment of a Great Neck man for allegedly striking, raping and forcing his victim to perform other sexual acts in his home in January 2021.

UJA-Federation’s Concert Supports Annual Campaign Local music fans and philanthropists celebrated UJA-Federation of New York’s Al Berg Summerfest Concert on Aug. 11 at the Arts Plaza Lawn of Tilles Center LIU Post. The outdoor event, which returned in-person after last year’s virtual festivities, raised funds to support UJA’s Annual Campaign. The event followed local COVID-19 health and safety guidelines. The annual celebration, offered through UJAFederation’s New Leadership Campaign, recognized a number of local community leaders for their extraordinary efforts during the last 18 months of the pandemic through UJA’s partner Jewish Community Centers. Honorees who received the prestigious Robert S. Boas Community Leadership Award included Adam Cole of Commack, Stephanie Faust of Roslyn, Yehuda Mor of Atlantic Beach, Fred Richman of Jericho, Shauna Richman of Jericho and Jim Wagler of Fresh Meadows, Queens.
Faust used her skills as a photographer during the pandemic to participate in the Front Steps Project. Her work documenting local families on their front porches raised more than $18,000 for UJA partner Sid Jacobson JCC’s Community Needs Bank. Fred Richman, immediate past president of the Barry & Florence Friedberg JCC, swiftly and efficiently led the agency through a challenging time. Fred utilized his expansive leadership skills to guide the agency throughout the pandemic, helping the JCC best serve its vulnerable clients and improve the quality of life for so many in the community. Shauna Richman is an active volunteer at UJA partner the Mid-Island Y JCC. Her hard work includes weekly meal deliveries, providing various families with holiday gifts through the Grant-aWish program, and acting as an ambassador for the JCC, encouraging friends and family to volunteer.

Take A Load Off Backpack safety tips BY ROBIN FRANK
specialsections@antonmediagroup.com
Now that children and teenagers are heading back to the classroom, many are dusting off their trusty backpacks or plan to buy a new one. As in years past, many parents are likely to be surprised by how much kids cram into their backpack and how heavy it becomes. Pediatric orthopedic surgeons at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have advice for parents and students when choosing and using a backpack to avoid injury.

“W
ith a focus on getting back in the classroom and returning to ‘normal,’ it’s easy to overlook possible injuries caused by everyday school supplies,” Dr. Emily Dodwell, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) and spokesperson for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons said. “Backpacks might not seem that high on the list of safety hazards for children, but if too heavy or worn improperly, they can cause pain or injury to muscles and joints.” It is not unusual for Dr. John Blanco, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at HSS Long Island in Uniondale, to see more children and teenagers with back or shoulder pain around the start of the school year. The culprit is often a heavy backpack. “In addition to being concerned about their child’s pain, some parents worry that carrying a heavy backpack every day at school could lead to scoliosis,” Blanco said. Although lugging around a heavy backpack or wearing it incorrectly could lead to sore muscles, he emphasizes that there is no data to indicate that it causes scoliosis, a hunchback or any long-term damage. However, all complaints of pain or discomfort should be taken seriously, the doctors said. If a child appears to be struggling with a backpack, Blanco advised parents to look inside it. Chances are, something can be removed to make it lighter. From toys to video games to athletic footwear they don’t use every day, many young people are carrying around items they don’t need. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises that backpacks should weigh no more than 10 to 20 percent of a child’s body weight.
“It’s not uncommon for students to lug around 30 pounds, which is usually too heavy based on their body weight,” Blanco said. “Most families have a scale at home and can use it to weigh the backpack and take out items that are not needed for the school day.” Blanco noted that sooner or later, many kids get used to the weight of the backpack as their muscles grow stronger. But it’s no fun being in pain and spending some time to think about backpack safety and engaging in good practices can prevent problems in the first place. —Robin Frank writes for Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS).

Backpack Safety Tips The experts offer additional recommendations when choosing and using a backpack: • Select a sturdy backpack with wide, padded shoulder straps and a padded back. Padding makes it more comfortable to wear and protects the back from books and other items with sharp edges. • The backpack should be worn on both shoulders. Students should avoid slinging it over one shoulder. This helps to distribute the weight evenly without putting excessive stress on one side of the body. • Students should be instructed to tighten the shoulder straps so the backpack is close to the body. This will put less strain on the back. • Purchase a backpack with a strap that goes around the waist and encourage kids to use it. This helps distribute the weight more evenly. If a backpack sways from side to side, the body has to work harder to balance it. • The backpack should be organized to make the best use of compartments. Heavier items should be packed closest to the middle of the bag. • Consider a rolling backpack if the school allows it and the child is willing to use it. However, this may not be practical if the student takes the stairs throughout the day. • Students should be encouraged to use the school locker for storage whenever possible. • Children and teenagers should be instructed on how to pick up the backpack properly to avoid muscle strain. They should bend their knees when lifting or wearing a backpack. They should not bend at the waist.

Taking Over The Fashion Industry An interview with LIU Post’s fashion merchandising director
BY HANNAH MERWIN
L
editorial@antonmediagroup.com
ess than 30 miles from New York City, Long Island University is taking advantage of the city’s fashion industry and expertise with its in-depth fashion program. Leading the charge is Cherie Serota, director of Fashion Merchandising and Management. Serota is an accomplished businesswoman with more than 25 years of industry expertise. She gained global recognition after cofounding Belly Basics, Inc., a successful lifestyle brand for pregnant women across the world. She previously had served as associate men’s fashion director at Saks Fifth Avenue and was instrumental in opening Henri Bendel’s New York flagship, among many other impressive accomplishments. Serota has worked at Long Island University since 2015 and helped pioneer the Fashion Merchandising and Management program in the School of Management. With many different classes students can take and interests
to specialize in, such as fashion law and brand management, the program has been a huge success at this highly ranked university. “We are constantly adding and changing classes,” said Serota. “In this fashion management program, students are working directly with real brands in real time on brand strategies and marketing initiatives.” Long Island University hosts an impressive amount of opportunities for students looking to learn about fashion. One important feature on campus is the student-run boutique, aptly named The Student Body. “Fashion Merchandising and Management students are in charge of all of the decisions,” said Serota. “These decision are based on the student body, and not personal preference. Students manage and direct inventory, sales, markdowns, profitability, everything. I am the advisor to the boutique, but the students run the boutique. They also hire their own workers; anybody on campus can work there. In the past, the boutique has
done collaborations with student artists. These students have showcased their designs in our boutique.” “We also have a runway show every year,” Serota continued. “Everyone from the university is involved—from the models to the DJ and lighting, we have our own pool of talent right here at the university. The students also get to study abroad every year. We’ve gone to Milan, Paris, Florence and London. We take on a business consulting project so it isn’t just for cultural immersion but also for work.” As the younger generation, Gen Z, becomes more prevalent in the fashion world, Serota said it is important for brands to figure out how to appeal to this group. “Gen Z makes up 35 percent of the population, and their attitudes are driven entirely by their interests and passions. [The fashion industry] used to talk about age, gender and income status, but we don’t do that anymore. Now we look at the target audience through that lens of interest and passion. As brands, we have to be as

quick, as authentic and as transparent as possible.” Modeling has been a big part of fashion since the 1900s, and it has only gotten bigger. Recently, however, consumers are less interested in name-brand fashion if the brands are not inclusive and transparent. “Brands have to be authentic about inclusivity and diversity,” said Serota. “They can’t just put plus-size models or people of color models on the runway and not include them in the corporate structure. They have to be authentic.” Serota stressed the point of authenticity, saying that brands not only needed to have diverse models on the cover, but also within the supply chain and in every aspect of the company. “Do they have people of color throughout the supply chain? Do they celebrate diversity and honor sustainability? These are the questions that are extremely important to this new generation, and should be important to all of us quite frankly, because our whole future is dependent on it.” Further stressing the importance of diversity, Serota brought up Barbie as an example of a brand doing it right. “Barbies come in different sizes, colors, ethnicities, but they are all called Barbie. Why are we not emulating that in models, in campaigns?
We have to be open and inclusive for all body types and ethnicities. If Gen Z wants it, the rest of the world will follow. It should be the DNA of the company. [Brands] have to acknowledge who your customer is; all races and ethnicities. You have to acknowledge it in a way that is transparent, and show what matters to the customer.” As a self-starter, Serota has key advice for anyone looking to create their own brand or make their own way in fashion. “God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason,” she said. “Always listen. It is important to be curious and to ask questions. We all think we have great ideas, but sometimes we speak more than we listen. When you listen and gather information, it can be very valuable. Knowing what people want, and understanding the value of your target customer is really important, especially when starting a business. “It doesn’t come quickly,” Serota said. “I always say to take little bites out of the big project. Go little by little, and don’t get overwhelmed by the big picture. When you take it step by step, it becomes extremely digestible.” Visit www.liu.edu/post/fashionmerchandising to learn more. —Hannah Merwin is a contributing writer for Anton Media Group

With COVID-19 ongoing, not only affecting our homes, jobs and general ways of life, the pandemic has deeply affected our kids, their social lives and their academic studies. One incoming Jericho High School senior, Sahana Mohan, used her own personal academic challenges to bring a much-needed service to her peers, with her newly created tutoring service, Project G.L.U.E. “As a high school student, I experienced great challenges while learning during the pandemic,” Mohan said. “It was hard for me
to confidently understand school subjects; I began to feel beneath all the other students.” Project G.L.U.E. (Guide, Learn, Understand and Explore), started in December 2020, offers free, online tutoring to students of all ages. Mohan and several of her high school peers volunteer their time in exchange for service credit, in lieu of payment. “I started Project G.L.U.E. to help others to start to feel confident and ready in any academic challenges they may face in school,” Mohan said. “I know what it feels like when you aren’t confident in a classroom setting; I have been there many times myself.” Project G.L.U.E. has tutored more than 10 students, ranging from kindergarten to eighth grade, in preparation for tests and to help grasp concepts

in general classroom instruction. The project tutors are prepared to coach in all subjects, but Mohan admits, they all have their favorite subjects that they enjoy teaching. “I wanted this (Project G.L.U.E.) to be based off of high shool students
because we all know the challenges we have faced while learning during a pandemic,” Mohan said. “Due to COVID-19, technology is the new face of education and many schools are adopting it to learn new topics.” Students can request a tutoring

Summer In Herricks Gets A Start With Art
H
erricks elementary students dove into the world of art immediately after the school year concluded. Earlier this summer, an art camp held at the high school provided opportunities to explore various mediums and find inspiration in famous artists. Under the guidance of teachers Allyson Zebrowski, Maria Monda and Angela Raio, students in grades 1-5 completed their own interdisciplinary masterpieces using clay, watercolor, photography, paint and much more. They learned about the movement in jazz-inspired works by Jackson Pollack and used marbles to design their own paintings. They explored the rhythms
and patterns of indigenous Americans and those of modern artist Sonia Delaunay, combining visual arts and music in their own creations. Participants also learned about artist Yaoi Kusama and wrapped trees in the courtyard with yarn in her style, and created photograms after studying positive and negative space. A collaborative sea life mural, displayed in the hallway, brought talents together with an assortment of illustrations. Special thanks goes to high school students Isabella Mathai, Tina Pathak, Julia Yam and Emily Eng, who served as teaching assistants throughout the week. —Submitted by Herricks Public Schools

Village Says Outdoor Dining Tents Are Fire Hazards
BY ANTHONY MURRAY
amurray@antonmediagroup.com
A
t the village’s most recent board meeting, Garden City Mayor Cosmo Veneziale wanted to dispell rumors that he is anti-business after the village told four local restaurant owners to take down their outdoor dining tents that were constructed due to COVID because they were fire hazards. “I support all businesses that comply with the codes that provide safety and access to our residents and public at large,” Veneziale said. “The temporary revocable license agreement was first issued in June 2020 by the village. It was then renewed on Sept. 29, 2020 and ended on Dec. 31, 2020. The second extension was issued on Feb. 4, 2021 and the third extension issued on Feb. 23, 2021 to be ended on Dec. 31, 2021, which was all approved by the prior board of trustees.” Veneziale said that the license agreements automatically terminated on the expiration of former governor Andrew Cuomo’s order on June 16, 2021. The license agreement allowed for the use of movable tables, chairs and umbrellas within the licensed outdoor areas. “The license agreements did not permit outdoor heaters of any kind,” Veneziale added. “The building superintendent on Jan. 22, 2021 issued an Order to Remedy to Revel for violation of New York State building code, state fire code and village code. Tents were not permitted per the license agreements. However, tent permits were used by the Nassau County Fire Marshal as an administrative action without inspection by the fire marshal.” The prior and current fire chiefs objected to the installation of tents installed in the fire access lanes on Kellum Lane. The state fire code prohibits the obstruction of any kind including parked
vehicles in a fire access lane. “Each of the restaurants, which are using village parking lots, have previously agreed in writing to comply with all state fire code requirements and village laws to keep their outdoor dining areas safe,” Veneziale said. The restaurants—Revel, Calogero’s, Waterzooi and Novita—were inspected by Nassau County Fire Marshals in late July of 2021. The fire marshals found that the outdoor dining facilities were hazardous fire and safety conditions that were in violation of the New York Fire Code and State Law. Because of those violations, the structures needed to be taken down immediately. Revel faces a unique obstacle, however. During inspection, the county’s fire marshals found that Revel’s outdoor structure is blocking the entire street and fire lane—preventing fire apparatus access, and that the current structure that Revel built does not meet the requirements of the state’s 2020 Fire Code. The safety violation required the immediate removal of Revel’s tent and structure because it blocked Kellum Lane and impeded access—hindering rescue operations for the fire department at the 365 Stewart Ave. apartments and the two floors above Revel. According to Deputy Mayor and Fire Commissioner Tom O’Brien, Revel also had numerous fire code violations within its tent and outdoor structure that can put people in harm’s way because its tent material was found to be combustible. The Nassau County Fire Marshals returned to Revel on Wednesday, Aug. 18 ordering that their current outdoor dining tent and attached structure be removed. Veneziale had asked Revel to work side-by-side with the village’s Department of Buildings and fire department to create a safe outdoor dining alternative that will follow state laws and be in compliance with other state and

village codes. Calogero’s, Waterzooi, and Novita were given an “Order to Remedy” by the village’s Code Enforcement officer to fix the current hazards with their outdoor dining structures and come in compliance within 45 days, giving them appropriate time to do so. The other three restaurants didn’t have the same road access blocking issues that Revel has. The three restaurants are currently operating without building permits, which are required for outdoor dining facilities. Representing Revel at the meeting was their lawyer Steven Cohen, who said what he heard discussed among the board was factually incorrect. “We are not putting up a permanent structure,” he said. “I was told that the fire marshal of Nassau County wanted the tent down. Coincidentally the fire marshal came the day before this meeting. I was told, ‘you have to go to the fire marshal of Nassau County
because the fire marshal wants that tent down. I said before we get there, you want a plan from us. Tell me what is wrong with the tent.” Cohen said Revel received a draconian termination license agreement after 15 months of operating under three extensions that the village issued. Cohn said that Revel also had a building permit from the village to build the tent.
The meeting ended with the board voting to allow village Building Superintendent Giuseppe Giovanniello to reinstate the license based on compliance and with a new plan by Revel submitted. What did you think of this article? Share your thoughts with me by email at: amurray@ antonmediagroup.com

F
all will be better than ever in Nassau County, with County Executive Laura Curran announcing that Old Bethpage Village Restoration (OBVR) will host the iconic Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze for a second time, after a successful launch last year. The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze Long Island will run for 36 selected nights from Sept. 22 through Nov. 7. Tickets are now on sale at www. pumpkinblaze.org. “We’re thrilled to bring back this extraordinary experience for the second consecutive year and provide a safe and spooky way to celebrate the Halloween season right here in Nassau County,” Curran said. “The county’s Old Bethpage Village provides a perfect backdrop for this spectacular event, which is expected to attract thousands and give our local economy a boost. Whether you’re a local or visitor, I’m encouraging all to check out this unique event and explore one of our vibrant downtowns. Thank you to Historic Hudson Valley for working with the County to host your iconic event once again.” Historic Hudson Valley’s VP of Communications and Commerce, Rob Schweitzer added, “We were thrilled to partner with Nassau County to bring The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze to Old Bethpage Village Restoration. After a successful run in 2020, when were we able to safely entertain thousands of visitors and help support the local economy, we are delighted to partner again to make this second year even more exciting. We’ve added more nights and more displays and can’t wait to welcome

New displays this year include an 80-foot circus train—a nod to the 146-year run of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus at the nearby Nassau Coliseum, a sea monster and many new creative creatures from under the ocean. The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze is also returning for its 17th year to its original location in the Hudson Valley at Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson. That location will be open 59 nights from Sept. 17 through Nov. 21 and will feature new displays such as an immersive river walk-through experience and a New York City streetscape. The health and safety of the visitors is the highest
priority. At both locations, the experience is outdoors and touch-free, and capacity has been reduced to ensure social distancing. Visitors who are not vaccinated are required to wear masks at all times. Masks are not required for vaccinated visitors while on the grounds, but will be required when entering buildings, such as restrooms. All events are held rain or shine. Proceeds support

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
OCCUPIED DISPUTED TERRITORIES named? What would he then call this great land of America, Disputed Territory? I wonder what a Native American would say. When Russia took land from the Ukraine, did they call it Disputed Territory or is it now Occupied Territory? How about when China invaded India and took land. Was that also Disputed Territory and can it now be considered Occupied Territory? I am sure India has some thoughts on this. What about when Greece acquired a part of Southern Albania called Chameria. Can this be considered Disputed Territory or is it really Occupied Territory? Then we have the Israeli government, who wants to annex parts of the West Bank and East Jerusalem for its own citizens, dispossessing
the Palestinians living there. Will that be called Disputed Territory or Occupied? Or will it be Occupied Disputed Territory? There are about 2 million Palestinians that live in this area under Israeli military rule. Sounds to me that these Palestinians are living in occupied conditions. Occupied Territory to me is that which is taken over by a superior force and held. It can be done with or without a war in so many different ways. In time, if held long enough and assimilation takes place, the Occupied Territory becomes part of the superior forces’ country. However, the issue in Israel is not resolved. And a big part of this is because, the Palestinians are not acquiescing nor are they assimilating.
Given this, both the Israelis and the Palestinians need a place to live and both have lived in that land for a very long time. This gives them both the right to be there. It’s unfortunate that they cannot live in harmony, and by Dr. Rabinowitz trying to eliminate the word Palestine, is not going to help the situation at all. God knows that the United States and the United Nations have tried to bring peace in that part of the world so many times and it has failed. And whether one calls it Occupied Palestinian Territory or Disputed Territory, the fact remains, the Palestinian people exist and so does Palestine. Just as much as the Israeli people exist and so does Israel. —Lek Hasan
PROTECT OUR PARKS FROM OVERDEVELOPMENT Dear residents of the Town of North Hempstead: The Beacon Hill Residents Association and other civics have been leading the opposition to an application by developers Southern Land Corp and Bar Beach LLC for a change of zoning from Residence AAA to Multiple Residence. This would allow the building of a 95’ tall, 176-unit, luxury rental apartment complex on 2.035 acres of usable land. This apartment complex will add an additional 450 to 500 people. The developer has requested overflow parking on Town of North Hempstead beach property which would result in a combined total of 300 parking slots, well below the 428 slots required under the Town Building Code. Under NYS law, such a request is considered alienation of parkland. This will require consideration by the
Town Board and ultimately be determined by the state. In essence, the developers are trying to build a project that does not fit on its land, negates the environmental and small town character of the area and will create devastating traffic problems for Port Washington, Roslyn and all North Hempstead residents who wish to use the amenities to which we are entitled. The land borders the Town of North Hempstead Beach Park in Port Washington. A walking trail is located along the shoreline at the beach along with sports courts and fields in the central park area. The Aerodrome, a 40-acre preserve used for flying model aircraft, along with biking and hiking trails is across West Shore Rd. from the proposed project. South of the Aerodrome across from our beach is Harbor Links,

In response to Dr. Rabinowitz’s letter published in our Aug. 18 issue. His comments seem as if he wants to correct the usage of the term, “Occupied Palestinian Territory” (OPT). My read is he wants to eliminate the term Palestine altogether. This becomes another reason there will never be peace in the Middle East. According to Dr. Rabinowitz, Palestine never existed. Hence, if Palestine never existed, how can the land that the Palestinian people live on today be considered “OPT”? I’d like to hear what Dr. Rabinowitz would say to the remaining American Indian Tribes. Would he tell them they have no nation or land rights because their land was never

How Will Governor Kathy Hochul Follow Up And Resolve Cuomo’s Unfinished Transportation Business? It will be interesting to see over the next 16 months how Governor Kathy Hochul will deal with a number of unresolved transportation issues left behind to her by former Governor Andrew Cuomo. First, when will she fill the five vacant seats on the MTA Traffic Mobility Review Board? Since November 2019, Cuomo has delayed announcing his appointments. It is now 20 months late. Details of who will pay for what can never be resolved until this board is established and completes its mission. Tolling pricing recommendations were originally promised to be made public by November 2020. If these vacancies continue to remain, the MTA could miss the revised forecasted January 2023 start date for Congestion Price Tolling. This was supposed to have raised $15 of the $51 billion MTA 2020-24 Five-Year Capital Plan. It is bad enough that the MTA recently stated that they need 16 months just to complete the federal NEPA environmental review process. Second, Albany committed to provide the MTA with $3.5 billion which would help fully

fund the $51 billion 2020-24 Capital Plan. It is well into the second year of this program and Albany has provided very little of these funds to date. Will Hochul accelerate Albany’s contribution sooner rather than later?
Third, release of the MTA 2020-40 Twenty-Year Capital Needs Plan is still outstanding. Cuomo previously promised that the MTA Twenty-Year Capital Needs Plan for 2020-40 would be released by December 2019. It is now 20 months overdue. Will Hochul instruct her MTA Board members to direct MTA Interim Chairman Janno Lieber to make this document public ASAP? Fourth, there is still no agreement between New Jersey and New York on how to divide up $14.5 billion of CARE COVID 19 emergency transit relief funding. Connecticut is the third player in this negotiation. It sides with New Jersey in this dispute. The MTA wants to use a different formula from the one normally used in distribution of Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 funding. This would result in New Jersey Transit losing $637 million, which the MTA would receive instead. The three state DOT Commissioners have been negotiating this split since January with no resolution to date. Will Hochul instruct her negotiators to resolve this issue ASAP? Fifth, serious questions have
been raised by Port Authority staff concerning undue pressure exerted on them by the previous Cuomo administration in the development of the NEPA document for Federal Aviation Administration approval necessary to advance the $2.05 billion LaGuardia Air Train. Many have questions as to the viability and value of this investment. Will Hochul revisit this issue before the Port Authority moves forward with award of construction contracts before the end of the year? Sixth, many have also questioned the value of Cuomo’s proposed $16 billion New York Empire Station Complex project. Before moving forward beyond completion of a feasibility study, will Hochul revisit the merits of advancing this project? Seventh, Cuomo would not commit Albany’s 25 percent or $2.9 billion share toward the $11.6 billion cost of the proposed Gateway Tunnel. He wanted Amtrak to follow a different construction strategy. New York’s share is needed to leverage $5.8 funding from the Federal Transit & Federal Rail Road Administrations. Without his financial contribution, the
project will not proceed. What will be Hochul’s position on this project? Will she bring $2.9 billion in hard cash to the table? Eighth, someone has to find millions to support a free transfer between the New York MTA bus and subway with the New York City Economic Development Corporation Private Ferry Operators program. Will Hochul assist the MTA in finding funding to implement this discount? Commuters, taxpayers, transportation advocates, transit reporters and local elected officials will be watching in coming months how Hochul will deal with and resolve all of these ongoing issues. Larry Penner—transportation advocate, historian and writer who previously worked for the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 New York Office.

It is a time for the High Holidays; time that we gather with our families, neighbors and friends and concentrate on prayer and introspection. A time to give thanks for the ways in which we have been blessed and strive to improve our relationships by asking forgiveness and making amends. These are the Days of Awe to acknowledge the Almighty as the creator and ruler of the universe; renew and strengthen our commitment to a spiritual way of life, and pray for a sweet new year—a healthy and peaceful year. The Biblical Moses, on the very last day of his life,
RABBI MOSHE WEISBLUM at the age of 120, leaves the earthly world with an everlasting important message: “Choose life!” His ancient message has become more than relevant during history and especially in the past year. We all have a choice. Each one of us has the free will to decide how to direct our thoughts and actions. Each
of us can choose to hold on firmly to the principles and values of faith and gratitude. Each of us can choose to do one more good deed, one more act of kindness, to help tip the balance of the world toward life. On Rosh Hashanah, we look to our past, as well as to our future, for the growing of spiritual strength as well as staying committed to a positive energy way of life. We reach back into our collective history to draw inspiration and to learn from the wisdom of our heritage. At the same time, we look ahead toward future generations, knowing that what we choose for our own lives today will affect our children, our children’s children, and, indeed, the future of the world. When we choose to align our way of life with the divine presence, we are doing our part to help create
a society that is humane and G-dly. We are fighting the darkness of the world with the light of our good deeds. This is a time of return, or repentance, when we are focused on the process of improving ourselves and coming closer to the Almighty. By actively engaging ourselves through self-evaluation, reconciliation, prayer and giving an extra measure of charity—we are choosing life, just as the generation in the desert did after they heard Moses’ message. Hopefully then we will see the good that emerges even in the midst of darkness, and we will recognize that every one of us has the power to make meaningful changes by the choices that we make. As the High Holidays begin, we look back on all the moments during the past year that give us reason for
hope. Around the world, a new generation is reaching for their universal healing of the pandemic and all its consequences. In our community, we’ve responded to our challenges by focusing on what really matters–education, friendship, family and community. This last year was one of hardship for people everywhere. Too many of our friends and neighbors continue to struggle in the wake of difficult health and economic challenges. And beyond our borders, many of our closest allies face the uncertainties of an unpredictable age. As Jewish tradition teaches us, we may not complete the work, but that must never keep all of us from trying. In that spirit, I wish you and your families a sweet year full of health, happiness and peace. L’Shana Tova Umetuka

ith the 2021-22 academic year set to kick off, the announcement by recently installed Governor Kathy Hochul directing the state health department to require universal masking in schools has stoked the fury of a vocal group of Massapequa and Farmingdale parents. Both communities have these residents decrying this as a violation of personal rights cleaving to the idea of “My child, my choice” in the face of the CDC predicting the number of hospitalized Americans doubling by mid-September. It’s a development CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky is taking very seriously. “The reason to mask in schools is not necessarily only to protect our adults,” Walensky said. “But also to protect our children from transmissibility, from one child to another. And then, of course, from children going home to perhaps unvaccinated or immunocompromised or at-risk adults who might have waning immunity.” Former Governor Andrew Cuomo had allowed districts to institute mask-optional policies before resigning on Aug. 24. At an Aug. 18 board meeting, the Massapequa School Board announced it would not require masks for students and staff when the school year begins, a decision greeted with cheers and thunderous applause by mostly unmasked parents in attendance. The newly announced guidelines state masks will be recommended and not required indoors, but still required on school buses. Remote instruction will be eliminated, Plexiglas barriers will be removed and no further health checks will be conducted. School Superintendent Lucille Iconis said the decision was based on results observed during the recent summer session of classes. “With the Delta variant in the equation, we had nine confirmed cases,” she said. “That included students and staff.” A Farmingdale School District board meeting held on Wednesday, Aug. 25, a day after Hochul’s swearing-in and announcement of state-backed mask mandates, was packed with irate parents displeased over the decision. One dissenting voice was a woman who declined to give her name but identified as a contact tracer in favor of continued COVID-19 protocols and masking who said, ““This is an

institution of education. We have to go with the facts and truth and what I’ve just heard has nothing to do with either of those things.” Local group Moms for Liberty and member Barbara Abboud have been vocal in their opposition to the mask mandate dating back to the June board meeting and wanting to know what is prompting Hochul to go in this direction. “Show me the data,” Abboud said. “Show me why you’re issuing this guidance and I welcome it. There is no longer a state of emergency or governor emergency powers. She’s trying to circumvent the legislative process by asking the department of health to issue the guidance.” The board responded by declaring it has no authority over any mandate issued by the state and “...if you’re going to be angry, be angry with them.” As of press time, the Farmingdale School District was moving forward with its reopening plan as it currently stands with a mask-optional policy until such time they receive official word from the governor’s office and/or the New York State Department Of Health that masks are mandatory. The Massapequa School District is taking a similar tact according to a statement released by Iconis. “We look forward to working with Governor Kathy Hochul as we start the new school year. We await definitive guidance from the New York State Department of Health regarding protocols related to COVID-19. Until such guidance is provided, we will continue with the protocols that have been endorsed by our board of education and shared with our community.” What did you think of this article?

Summer Is “HEATing” Up In Farmingdale
T
District introduces literacy and food security program to its students
he Farmingdale School District is bringing the “heat” this summer with a new program designed to keep students engaged and learning during summer vacation. This year, the KPMG Family for Literacy (KFFL) Summer Healthy Eating, Exercise, And Time Spent Reading (HEAT) program will supplement an existing summer literacy program at Saltzman East Memorial and a new literacy program at Woodward Parkway with a focus on providing students with books and learning resources at a time when students lack access due to schools being closed for the summer. The campaign will also look to address food insecurity and promote health and wellness. “While the summer months mark a time of rest and relaxation for students, the Farmingdale School District has always worked to identify programs that will build upon our students’ education during summer recess,” Superintendent of Schools Paul Defendini said. “The KFFL program is wonderful in that it helps address student literacy, ensuring that students retain the progress they made during the school year, while also promoting food security, health and wellness.” Students participating in the program received a “healthy kit” that included two books (one focused on health and wellness and the second on diversity and inclusion),
a jump rope and a KFFL-branded bag. A total of 500 books and 100 pre-packaged breakfast bags were also part of the program. Students in the district’s summer literacy programs at Saltzman East Memorial and at Woodward Parkway also had access to in-school virtual field trips hosted by US Olympic gold medalist and KPMG Learning Ambassador Laurie Hernandez, who engages directly with students to introduce them to the exciting opportunities provided in this program. This year’s virtual field trips included “episodes” with Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Seth Curry; Krystal Joy Brown and Darnell Abraham from the musical stage show Hamilton; and U.S. Olympic Gold medalist Laurie Hernandez. More than 160 Farmingdale students in grades 1-5 benefited from this generous support from KPMG. KPMG Family for Literacy celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2018. Since its creation, the program has received upwards of five million book donations which have been distributed to students across Long Island to provide continued access to literature resources.

RONALD SHEFF Ronald Sheff of Sarasota, FL and previously Great Neck, NY died August 17th at the age of 96 of COVID 19. Ron is predeceased by his wife, Janet Sheff, with whom he had a 67-year loving and adventure filled marriage. Ron was an avid sailor with an appetite for ever more challenging voyages. After raising a family and a successful career building the family business of Speedwriting and Taylor Business Institute in New York City, Ron’s adventurousness culminated in selling their home and moving onto their sailboat aptly named Dream Aweigh. For the next 17 years Ron and Janet sailed from Maine to the Caribbean, with friends and family often joining them on the boat and new friends made in every port. Beginning in 1993 they left the cruising life behind to settle in Sarasota, where they made many new friends through their passion for ballroom dancing. They especially loved dancing to live music at the Senior Friendship Center. In 2015 Ron and Janet were the poster children on the cover of the Senior Friendship Center annual report under the title, “A Long Life Worth Living,” an apt epitaph for them both. Ron is predeceased by his brother,
Burton Sheff of Las Vegas, NV and Angel Fire, NM, and is survived by his brother Donald Sheff of New York City and Ron’s three sons, Dr. Alan Sheff of Rockville, MD, Dr. Rick Sheff of Saunderstown, RI and Dr. Daniel Sheff of Conway, MA, their spouses, eight grandchildren, and six great grandchildren. A memorial service will be held once it is safe to do so. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Senior Friendship Center in Sarasota, Florida.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Keep up the optimism this week and the world will reflect the emotional sunshine you’re radiating. You’ll pull off a few difficult tasks in a row. You’ll prove invaluable to the team; not because of your magnificent successes, but because of the way you facilitate theirs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Simplicity is rarely as easy as it looks. It requires efficiency and discipline, and demands the mastery of tools. This elegant ideal is attainable to you this week because you’re willing to work for it. You’ll focus on what matters and you’ll stay on track, making more lives easier than just your own.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People give love and attention in different ways. Some are too self-involved or focus-challenged to give attention at all. Let none of this validate or invalidate you. Ideally, your life centers around a purpose and not around the reactions of others or lack thereof. Seek supportive connections, but do not depend on them.

Solution: 29 Letters
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your eye for details is honed, and you’ll get granular in your analysis of what matters to you. This specificity will serve you well, though not everyone will have the patience and understanding you’d like them to have. That’s just a sign to find “your people”: The ones who get you, challenge you and support you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The way things look and function is very important to you and your sophistication on the matter will rub off on others. You’re sold on elegance, swayed by beauty and willing to pay for superior design. Your affinity for lovely things will guide you to interesting places and people. Your conversations will be most enlightening. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Anyone can complain, but some will take it further and describe a problem to the people who can help. You’re in that rare category of fixers. You’ll think over the issues, brainstorm possible fixes and bounce your ideas off people until you have a solid proposition. Then you’ll gain cooperation and solve the thing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your mood is even; your action logical; your position stable. An agent of chaos will be drawn to you for exactly those reasons. This type prefers the difference they make to be noticeable. There is no “after” without a good “before.” You’ll be stronger and better for the disruption, and it might even be super fun. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). To spend prolonged time with your favorite people is a version of heaven on earth. There are many barriers to such an event -- number one being that your favorite people happen to be busy people -- so these things have to be planned. Luckily, you get almost as much joy from planning as you do from execution. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll get the satisfaction of contributing to important work. You’ll love the developments to come from a noncompetitive arena. You learn from different approaches, especially of those you have guided. You’ll get credit for being the teacher, though people do things very differently from the way they were shown.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A project begins with inspiration or, more likely, jealousy. Envy is so important to pay attention to. It is among the best indicators of which direction in life would most please you, and therefore it is invaluable in its ability to inform your decisions. Whatever you are jealous of, start creating it in your life this lucky week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Ingenious leadership is sometimes undetectable. You create systems that work and then you establish an atmosphere in which people can execute those systems with focus and ease. You encourage at strategic marks along the way. Ultimately, much is accomplished without your constant guidance.
737 3rd Street • Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 310-337-7003 • info@creators.com
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Rarely do fully formed ideas land on you, causing you to know exactly what to do next. If such a thing did happen, it would rob you of the most pleasurable parts of the problem-solving process. Prepare to exercise your imagination. Delight in the bad ideas, which come first; press on to the good ones.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS:
Your generosity of spirit is far beyond that of an average human to the extent that you sometimes forget to check in with your own needs and wants. All will be taken care of, though attention on the matter is necessary to start it all rolling in the right direction. This is the fun part! Get in touch with your hopes and dreams. Dare to see yourself in fantastical light enjoying outrageous good fortune, pleasure beyond measure and participating in your favorite act, which is sharing it all.

Clint Black’s Fave Guitarists lint Black may have cut his teeth as a multi-platinum neo-traditionalist country music performer thanks to hits like “Killin’ Time,” “Like the Rain” and “Nothin’ But the Taillights,” but he’s equally proud of the hard work he’s poured into playing guitar. Having released 2020’s Out of Sane, his 13th and most recent studio outing, Black recording guitar parts were a bit of a grind. “Doing guitar [parts] are hard-won victories for me because I’m slower than my lead guitar player or session guys are. It’s a real slog for me to get stuff that I’m happy with as I would be with something they would do.” An avowed fan of Steely Dan’s Jeff “Skunk” Baxter and Larry Carlton, the New Jersey native is also quick to namecheck Mark Knopfler, Joe Bonamassa, Brent Mason and Chet Atkins. The following are fret-meisters Black has a particular affinity for. Danny Gatton (September 4, 1945 to October 4, 1994) “Guys like him are real virtuosos.” Johnny Winter (February 23, 1944 to July 16, 2014) “When I do a growl with my vocal, it doesn’t come from the vocal chords, it comes from my heart and I got that from Johnny.”
of licks is deep. When you hear somebody playing a long outro on guitar improvising, you hear them running over the same ground or two. And you don’t hear that with Clapton.” Steve Wariner (September 25, 1954 to present) “Steve’s a friend so I get to often see him do things up close and experience how great he is. If you go and listen to the instrumentals he did on a tribute album to Chet— it’s absolutely phenomenal.
Eric Clapton (March 30, 1945 to present) “What I don’t ever hear people say is that his catalog
