TOP STORY

Final Push To A Complete Count Have No Fear, And Be Counted

BY FRANK RIZZO

T

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

he Constitution mandates that everyone in the United States must be counted every 10 years. This tally determines how the congressional seats will be divided among the states. For decades, it has also shaped how trillions of federal funds are disbursed over the following decade. Both of these aims have far-reaching implications for citizens’ lives and how political and economic power is divvied up. This accounts for the vigorous efforts by elected officials to get a high participation rate among their constituents.

Census Day is April 1, and under the Census Bureau, part of the Department of Commerce, every household in the United States received a questionnaire with a unique 12-digit ID to respond online if one wished. Based on the figures released by the Census Bureau, most opted to respond via the web instead of mailing the document. Follow-up phone calls also raised what officials called the response rate.

The households which did not respond (or had incomplete answers) started receiving follow-up visits by an army of enumerators in August.

Traditionally, these visits begin in May, but the coronavirus pandemic delayed the operation.

The Census 2020 effort has been politicized, critics charge. The Trump administration attempted to place a question about residents’ citizenship status on the census form, but was rebuffed by the Supreme Court. After first agreeing to end the count on Oct. 31 due to the pandemic delays, the administration did an about face and decided to stop the tally on Sept. 30.

In addition, the president directed that undocumented residents should be removed from the final count for purposes of congressional apportionment. The citizenship records would come from state and federal databases.

Both of these directives have drawn lawsuits and court actions, and their fate is not known.

Critics of the administration claim that these moves will threaten an accurate count.

The Local Angle

In February 2019, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran launched the Nassau County Complete County Committee (CCC) in partnership with Health and Welfare Council of Long Island (HWCLI), It’s aim, per

a press release, was to engage “key constituencies to increase awareness and motivate residents to complete the Census. Subcommittees focused on outreach to businesses, local government, senior citizens, communications, early childhood providers, education, faith-based outreach, people of color and immigrants.”

The county also held several Census 2020 job fairs and other initiatives promoting the census.

The publication Long Island Counts: 2020 Census Report, authored by the Office of Nassau County Comptroller, the HWCLI and CCC, made a stark case for being counted. “If we don’t count our families, we render them invisible for the next 10 years and we can count on overcrowded classrooms, congested and neglected highways, underfunded hospitals and empty storefronts on our Main Streets until the next Census,” it noted.

A press release from Curran’s office stated, “The census is used to fund $675 billion in federal programs, including for hospitals, roads and bridges, public schools, disaster assistance, food assistance (including SNAP and the National School Lunch Program), Section 8 housing, Head Start and the Community Development Block Grants. Businesses also use Census data to make investment, hiring, and re-location decisions.”

County Comptroller Jack Schnirman, in a statement to Anton Media Group, said, “The report

U.S. Census Bureau enumerators are visiting households which did not respond to the initial questionnaire mailed back in March.

(Photo by U.S. Census Bureau)

released by my Office’s Policy and Research Unit, This is Nassau: Demographic Profile, showed big changes to our communities that will continue in the years ahead. The Census needs to accurately capture that, which is why we absolutely cannot afford an undercount.”

Part of the effort, he said, was to “involve people from these hard-to-count communities directly in the process.

We can do that best by making sure that residents from these hard-tocount communities are the ones doing the outreach to their neighbors.”

Response rate maps from the Census Bureau show that county areas with minority and immigrant populations have much lower participation.

How To Respond Online: Go to 2020census.gov and use the 12-digit Census ID that can be found on the questionnaire you received from the Census Bureau.

Phone: Call 844-330-2020. Numerous languages are offered.

Mail: Most households received a census form in the mail in March.

Complete the form using blue or black ink and return it in the envelope provided. If the return envelope is lost, mail it to: U.S. Census Bureau, National Processing Center, 1201 E 10th Street, Jeffersonville, IN 47132

Enumerators have faced resistance from people who are suspicious of the federal government, and also fear that the information may be used to uncover and prosecute undocumented aliens.

The federal Census Act prohibits the Census Bureau from disclosing individual census responses, even to other government agencies.

The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law has set up the Census Protection Hotline for individuals who have questions or concerns about the census process. It has partnered with civil rights organizations representing ethnic minorities.

Hotlines will also answer calls in Arabic and eight Asian languages.

The release stated, “Individuals can ask any question related to the census such as when the census starts/ends; if everyone has to fill out a questionnaire; how information is kept confidential; or how to fill out the form for different living situations [such as] shared custody, multiple family members, child in college, family member. Individuals can also call in to report problems in being counted.”

Call 888-268-6820 or email 888COUNT20@lawyerscom mittee.org for more information.

Every region has been assigned “census ambassadors” to work with local leaders to ensure the highest possible participation.

The ambassadors’ “Talking Points” printout stated, “We will live with the consequences of these questions for the next 10 years. We only have one chance to get this right. The funding levels and congressional seats that are set in the 2020 Census cannot be changed until 2030. This is our only opportunity to set Long Island on the right course for the decade ahead.”

The printout added, “Every single person counts. The census can be a tool for empowerment and bringing our communities together. It is a bipartisan issue—everyone benefits when everyone is counted. By completing the census, we can all contribute to a brighter future for our region.”

Anton Media Group was promised an interview with a Census Bureau representative, but had not been contacted as of press time.

HYPER-LOCAL NEWS Andrea Bolender Outlines Goals Of The Holocaust Memorial And Tolerance Center NEWS FROM YOUR COMMUNITY

BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

A

ndrea Bolender’s wrist says a lot. The bracelet on that wrist is powerful, a constant reminder of what her father went through 75 years ago.

Bolender’s father survived the Auschwitz death camp in Poland, where more than 1 million people were murdered by the Nazis.

Fortunately, he moved to America and was able to start a family. But the ink the Nazis used to tattoo an identification number on his arm evidently caused a rare cancer. He was given a few months to live, yet he survived for six years.

The number that stained his skin and eventually killed him 20 years ago is what Bolender engraved on her bracelet, which she proudly wears in the halls of the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC). After 15 years of holding multiple board positions within the Glen Cove-based center, Bolender recently became the chair of the center, replacing longtime chair Steven Markowitz.

Now, more than ever, Holocaust education is needed in New York.

Anti-Semitic hate crimes across the state reached a 40-year high in May, and more than half of all hate crimes in New York were physical and verbal attacks against Jews.

The same anti-Semitic tropes the Nazis used to change an entire society are ones being seen in the region, and Bolender is ready to educate people.

The HMTC, throughout the coronavirus pandemic, is utilizing Zoom to teach school students, police officers and other groups about the Holocaust and other forms of hate. Bolender discussed why education is needed and how the HMTC is adjusting to a new normal.

Q A

What does it mean to you to become the chair of the HMTC? I’ve been here for 15 years, and this is a new role. I’ve spent half of my life in this building. This feels very comfortable because I’ve had so many different roles.

What’s made you want to be involved in the center for so long?

I made my father a promise that, during his lifetime, it was his

story. When he died, it was my story to tell. I’m a March of the Living board member and I’m on the leadership committee, so I’ve led groups to Poland since 2014. Holocaust remembrance shouldn’t be a competition. It has to be a collaboration. My biggest issue is I’ve come into a chairmanship looking at a future without survivors.

We’ll have to teach without eyewitnesses, so March of the Living brings hundreds of thousands of eyewitnesses because, when you speak to an eyewitness, you become one.

Anti-Semitism is on the rise and remote learning might change things. How are you adjusting to working with schools remotely?

March 15 is when things shut down and by March 16, we hit the ground running virtually. We’ve always done video conferencing, and our staff went right on Zoom.

We continued our programs with schools and did virtual tours of the museum. It gave us an opportunity to reach people who wouldn’t normally come this far from other states. It’s an opportunity to go close up to the artifacts and zoom in on the anti-Semitic tropes and the history of it.

With social justice causes on the rise, what lessons are there from the Holocaust and the years leading up to it?

We have the Upstanders program with the Friedlander

organization. For evil to prosper, you just need good men to do nothing.

The big part of the Holocaust was the bystanders. You walk around our museum and you’ll see very ordinary people did extraordinary things. If someone came up to your door and said, “Can you hide me? But if they find me, they’re going to kill you and your children.” We don’t know what our answer would be. They were righteous people. It’s happening here.

How will you lead the center to work with the Glen Cove community and throughout all of Nassau County?

I’ve been a member of this community for many years, and what I think we need to do better is embrace the local community. When we were

Q A

defaced, we realized later on the kids were from outside the community.

One was from Franklin Square and one was from Elmont. People around here don’t want outsiders coming here and destroying their community.

It’s important to embrace the community, and Glen Cove is very diverse. All of the different countries represented had a part, whether they saved Jews or the were rescuers. It’s like embracing your family. We have to embrace things with unity. We’re here to teach a lesson, but we’re also here because we want to make humanity better.

They’ll start using their words wrong. They may go to pick up their keys and say they have milk in their hands. You start using words in the wrong context or just forget them.

You start losing your short-term memory. Whatever happened yesterday or even moments ago is gone—you don’t have that anymore. You can’t remember. You keep asking the same question over and over again.

That’s another early sign too—the repetitiveness—when somebody asks you a question and five minutes later they ask the same question. It’s very common.”

ept. 21 is World Alzheimer’s Day, an annual event that recognizes the struggle those diagnosed with it and their loved ones have in dealing with this insidious disease.

According to senior home care service Right at Home, 5.7 million people currently live with a form of dementia in the United States. Roughly 60 to 70 percent of those cases fall under the Alzheimer’s Disease diagnosis.

Hicksville’s Patti Carpenter is the Right at Home North Shore Long Island director of patient services and has had three decades-plus experience as a home care nurse and estimates about 35 percent of patients have dementia. In her role teaching families how to cope and interact with their loved ones, Carpenter said recognizing early signs is a key to learning how to handle dementia for both the person afflicted and their loved ones.

“In the beginning, the more you work with somebody who has early

Carpenter’s training has earned her special certification to better understand clients with cognitive decline or dementia, to assess his or her abilities and to adjust their interaction in the most beneficial way. For dementia patients, simple tasks like showering become significantly more difficult to the point of exacerbating physical fatigue in the patient.

“People with dementia exhaust themselves because tasks become so hard and their mind is constantly trying to remember what they need to do next,” Carpenter said. “Sometimes they can just sit in a chair and be doing nothing because they have no interest in doing anything anymore because everything is more challenging for them. They start shutting themselves off because everything has become so monumental to do.”

When someone is first diagnosed with dementia, Carpenter advises loved ones to allow the person to grieve over their diagnosis. From there, it’s important to establish routines and find simple tasks for them to do that they enjoy. Simplicity of tasks is paramount and so is awareness of how quickly dementia patients fatigue. Caregivers should also be aware of sundowning, a phenomenon where their charges experience confusion and agitation around dusk.

“It’s important for them to have that be the calming part of the day and not have them be alone where they can be fearful,” Carpenter said.

Patience is paramount despite how much it is short supply and how Alzheimer’s is a situation where all parties learn to expect the unexpected.

“What you want them to do is make them feel good about themselves by enabling them to do something that they’re going to be successful at,” Carpenter said. “After all, they’re still human and still have feelings. It’s just that they don’t have their memory.”

COVID Strikes High School In Time For Reopening

Local church also reports priest tested positive for COVID-19

BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

n what most feared would happen when schools reopened this fall ultimately happened at New Hyde Park Memorial High School when an employee of the school tested positive for COVID-19 on Sept. 6.

“It was confirmed by the Nassau County Health Department that a staff member at New Hyde Park Memorial High School has tested positive for COVID-19,” Dr. James Grossane, the Superintendent of Schools of the Sewanhaka School District, said in a statement. “As a result of the positive diagnosis, a full investigation, which included contact tracing, was completed by the Nassau County Health Department. This investigation determined that nine additional staff members were considered a close contact (defined as within six feet for a prolonged period of time—for 10 minutes or more) and that there were no additional exposures to staff other than those contacted by the Department of Health.”

According to the guidelines from the New York State Department of Health and the Nassau County Health Department, the individual who tested positive for COVID-19 will not be allowed to return to school for 10 days and after a negative test result has been provided to the district. The staff members who had close contact with the individual who was diagnosed with COVID-19 will be required to

quarantine for 14 days.

“We were advised by the Nassau County Health Department that no additional testing or quarantines are necessary for any other individuals, including staff who attended Superintendent’s Conference Day activities on Sept. 2 and 3,” Grossane continued. “We will continue to work closely with the Commissioner of Health and the Nassau County Health Department and take all necessary precautions to ensure the health and safety of our school community. The building, especially the rooms the staff member attended meetings in, will all be cleaned and disinfected. The Department of Health has advised us that after that cleaning, the building is safe to reopen.”

The high school opened on Thursday, Sept. 10 for its first day of school.

Even with one positive case from the high school, do parents feel comfortable enough to actually send their kids to school?

“Absolutely do not have any reservations,” Floral Park resident Lorraine Lubicich said. “Kids need to be in school. This is a virus that is not as deadly as it was in the spring (and did not affect children in any great numbers). We have to move on, learn to live with this and not deprive kids of a proper education and normal socialization. Thank you to SCHSD for not delaying the opening for a couple of cases—this was the smart thing to do. I am hoping for five days a week as soon as it is possible.”

High schools aren’t the only places that have had a recent positive COVID-19 case. Father Rafal Borowiejski, a priest at Our Lady of Victory church in Floral Park, also tested positive for the virus.

In a letter to parishioners, the church urged people to get tested if they were at the 10:30 a.m., 12 p.m. or 5:30 p.m. Mass on Sunday or at any of Borowiejski’s daily masses on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the week of Aug. 30.

Herricks Camp Connected

High school students form virtual summer camp

BY CODY SULLIVAN

newhydepark@antonmediagroup.com

For almost every student, this past summer vacation wasn’t a vacation at all. The pandemic continues to force teenagers and children to remain indoors, separating them from their friends and leaving them with nothing to do. Seeing the effect this had on their community, Herricks High School seniors Akshal Shah, Jacqueline Manetta and Naman Kapoor, and sophomore Namit Kapoor wanted to do something to help.

“Every year from kindergarten until after seventh grade, my brother and I have attended summer camps,” Namit Kapoor said. “They’ve been the highlight of our summers growing up, so when I considered how the students would feel having to go through a summer without going to a camp, it was devastating.”

They founded a virtual camp over Zoom called Herricks Camp Connected and took to social media to spread the word. They also enlisted the help of their assistant principal, who sent out a mass email to the students of their school. Before long they had 131 volunteer counselors and 142 online campers.

“After seeing so many kids sign up, and seeing all the volunteers, it was actually very surprising,” Shah

said. “But obviously a very proud moment.”

Volunteers were actually limited to leading just three sessions a week to ensure everyone had a chance to participate.

Garnering community support was the easy part. Every weekday, several sessions ran between 11 a.m. and 3:15 p.m., and each day came with its own category of activities. The four founders of the camp would spend two hours each night planning activities.

“We wanted to keep them engaged and

entertained, so we would have to find new activities every single week,” Jacqueline Manetta explained.

Both the campers and counselors could choose which type of session they wanted to participate in. There were sessions in arts, academics, music, games and even physical activities such as soccer and basketball, all done over Zoom.

Their hard work paid off, as almost every camper came back each week. Parents in New Hyde Park were appreciative of their efforts.

“We got messages from parents at the end of the summer saying ‘Thank you so much for this program,’ ” Manetta said.

Their assistant principal also received many thankful emails and letters.

Not knowing when this pandemic will end, the group isn’t sure what the future of the camp will be.

They are hopeful that it could turn into an in-person summer camp next year. The only thing they are certain of is that whatever happens, they have a community that will come together when needed.

“The collective effort from everyone, that was my favorite part,” Naman Kapoor said. “That can help everyone in the future.”

Rolling With The Pandemic

Farmingdale Lanes puts safety over revenue following five-month moratorium

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

W

hen Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that bowling alleys would be allowed to reopen at 50 percent capacity on Monday, Aug. 24, it ended a five-month shutdown for a number of centers including Farmingdale Lanes. Owned by the LaSpina family, the aforementioned 48-lane Conklin Street business is a part of the five-location Maple Family Centers that is rounded out by Coram County Lanes, Maple Lanes (Rockville Centre), Maple Lanes Countryside (Clearwater, FL) and Jib Lanes in Flushing. Given that patriarch John LaSpina’s involvement with bowling dates back to his being a 12-year-old when his father opened Maple Lanes with two partners in Bensonhurst back in 1960, shutting down for this extended amount of time wasn’t an easy decision to make. But it was one the 72-year-old businessman knew his clan had to do.

“I’m the old guy on the food chain in this family, so I’m the one most reluctant to go places,” he said. “I totally understand how our customers feel. We’re strictly adhering to the 50 percent occupancy. There are some [other bowling alleys] hanging plastic between individual lanes and believing that will suffice and you can fill every lane. We’re just not doing that because I think for the next nine or 10 weeks, we should just be cautious. At the risk of revenue, we’re going to do a wait-and-see. You need to wear your mask, which will keep you safe. And you need to listen to your mother and wash your hands often and use the sanitizer. We have more hand sanitizer than we’ve ever had. We’ve always been good with the Purell on the wall, so that’s nothing new for us.”

He added, “We’re taking the 50 percent business seriously and we’re risking revenue for nine or 10 weeks to make sure everybody is safe. I believe if you have people crammed in and wedged between a few shower curtains from the Dollar Store, you’re only tempting fate and I don’t want to do that. The only one I listen to is Dr. Fauci and go back to the primary message— wear your mask, social distance, wash your hands and pray for the best.”

For the past three months, the LaSpinas cleaned, sanitized and retrofitted all their centers to ensure a safe environment. Among the changes instituted upon opening was required

health screenings and temperature checks for all employees prior to all shifts, bowling balls and shoes being sanitized before and after each use, mandatory mask requirements for staff and customers and protective plexiglass shields positioned at all service counters.

During the moratorium, roughly 180 employees across all five locations were laid off as the family continued to pay tens of thousands of dollars in property taxes as well as other expenses. The elder LaSpina admits it was rough going.

“The challenge is that we are all about being social and social distancing is anathema—it’s the polar opposite of what we do,” he explained. “We have a set of vendors and banks that we communicate with. For the most part, everyone has been willing to work with us. Banks don’t want nonperforming

loans, so they’re standing on their heads to make it work. My little company, with five locations—I don’t want to use the word lost, but last year during the time we were closed, we rang up $3 million. That’s $3 million we don’t have and $3 million that we use to pay bills, mortgages, staff and all the things that money is supposed to do. Me and my kids are last on the list—we wait for ours.”

Community support for the LaSpinas has come from customers, fellow business owners and a number of local politicians including Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilman Steven Labriola and Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato, Assemblyman Joe DeStefano (Coram), Senator Todd Kaminsky (Long Beach) and Assemblywoman Judy Griffin (Rockville Centre).

Saladino, along with Legislator John Ferretti, State Assemblyman John Mikulin, Farmingdale Mayor Ralph Ekstrand and Hempstead Town Councilman Dennis Dunne held a press conference back on Thursday, Aug. 6 calling for the governor to allow bowling centers to reopen statewide.

“Reopening our bowling centers in a safe and efficient manner is both easy and attainable, and I know that by making common sense adjustments such as requiring bowlers to bring their own equipment, and place hand sanitizers throughout the facility, along with the required social distancing, we can spare bowling alleys from foreclosure,” Pravato said.

“Farmingdale is great because we had lots of important local people come to our aid,” LaSpina said. “They all came and did press conferences

for us. We got coverage and got on TV. Local people were concerned for our livelihood.”

With LaSpina’s daughter Theresa LaSpina-McCarthy and son Joe LaSpina working full time in the family business, bowling has played a major role through three generations. It’s been made all the more bittersweet given the fact that Sept. 7 was not only the family’s 60th anniversary in this line of work, but it coincided with what would have been LaSpina’s father’s 112th birthday. While plans were shelved to do a Good Old Days promotion that included bowling and hot dogs for 60 cents, LaSpina is looking optimistically to the future based on the values his company has been built on.

“You come back to core values— cleanliness, value, good customer service—that always beats the trends,” he said. “My father instilled in me to always take care of people and when you do that, people will take care of you. After 60 years, here we are, back at Day One. We don’t know what the future will bring. I’m hopeful there will be a vaccine and this thing will pass.

It’s my hope that I am half the man my father was when he was facing tough, unknown times with a smile, smarts and a commitment to the investment he made in a sport that many love; even in these uncertain COVID times.”

“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.

September Is Library Card Sign-Up Month

eptember is Library Card Sign-Up month—a time when the Mineola Library joins the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries nationwide to remind parents, caregivers and students that signing up for a library card is the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning.

There is nothing more empowering than signing up for your own library card. Through access to technology, media resources and educational programs, a library card gives students the tools to succeed in the classroom and provides people of all ages opportunities to pursue their dreams and passions.

Libraries offer everything from early literacy programs to virtual homework help and GED classes, helping transform lives and communities through education.

“Libraries play an important role in the education and development of children,” library director Charles

Sleefe said.

The Mineola Library, along with libraries everywhere, continue to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving needs of our community. To sign up for a library card or to learn more about the library’s resources and programs, visit www. mineolalibrary.info.

This year, DC’s Wonder Woman is embarking on a mission to champion the power of a library card as Library Card Sign-Up month honorary chair.

In her new role, Wonder Woman will promote the value of libraries and encourage everyone to get their very own library card.

Since 1987, Library Card Sign-Up month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. During the month, the ALA and libraries unite together in a national effort to ensure every child signs up for their own library card.

Westbury Fire Department Bids Farewell To Honorary Chief

WESTBURY

T

he Westbury Fire Department and Hose Company No. 1 announced the passing of Honorary Chief and 76-year member Morton J. Lemkau, “a true gentleman.”

He was born July 25, 1926. At an early age, his family moved to Westbury, where it was instrumental in the establishment of the Redeemer Lutheran Church.

Lemkau attended Westbury High School. He was a member of the Class of 1944 and was an active player on the football team.

In November 1944, during World War II, he was drafted into the U.S. Army and was assigned to the Cavalry, later to be stationed in the Philippines. This was followed by his posting in Japan as part of the Army of Occupation. He rose to the rank of staff sergeant.

“Morty” joined the Westbury Fire Department on March 1, 1944, working alongside the members of Hose Co. No. 1. He had always shown distinguished service as a firefighter and well respected resident of the Westbury community.

On Oct, 2, 1955, he married

Morton Lemkau was a longtime member of the Westbury Fire Department. He also founded Morton J. Lemkau Moving & Storage in 1949, and it still operates under different management.

Marianne and they have two children, Nancy (deceased) and John, and five loving grandchildren.

Being proud of his heritage, Lemkau traveled several times to Germany, from where his ancestors emigrated.

At the age of 92, he moved to Santee, CA, on his new adventure.

Martin and Marianne Lemkau celebrated his being named an honorary chief by the Westbury Fire Department in 2019.

On Aug. 14, Lemkau passed away at the age of 94. He leaves a legacy of a man who showed compassion and unselfish ways, along with devotion to his family, church, employees, friends, fellow firefighters and to his community.

According to the department, “He

was an outstanding model of what you can achieve through hard work and commitment.”

“Morty” will be forever remembered by those who were honored to have known him.

Storm Cost: $200K

illage of Westbury Mayor Peter Cavallaro said that Tropical Storm Isaias last month cost the village about $200,000.

“We have spent a fairly significant amount of money for the storm cleanup and debris removal here,” Cavallaro said at the Sept. 3 meeting of the board of trustees. “We have the double whammy of revenue impacted by [the pandemic]. It’s going to require us to be mindful of the budget going forward the rest of the year. When we did this budget, we were aware of the impacts that COVID-19 would have.”

Cavallaro added that “we have an extremely strong balance sheet and we have a very healthy reserve fund for just these type of situations. The budget was conservative in terms of anticipating lost revenue. We have the resources and we have expended them without having to borrow money.

The mayor recalled that Superstorm Sandy in 2012 cost the village about $1 million. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and New York State both contributed to the reimbursement, which covered 95 percent of the village’s costs.

The Glen Cove Industrial Development Agency (IDA) held a virtual meeting on Sept. 9 to hear updated plans for the development project at Garvies Point. The meeting was open to the public, but public comment was not taken during this presentation.

Additionally, developer RXR also appeared before the board to ask for the continued sales tax exemption, in place since 2016. The board has already extended the exemption twice this year, but is looking to continue this exemption for possibly the next 10 years.

Glen Cove IDA Hears Updated Garvies Point Application construction plan is,” said Milan Tyler, the counsel for the city.

The IDA is being asked to give its consent for RXR to process the PUD amendment (Planned Unit Development, the master plan for the whole project) for the planning board, which would ultimately give its final vote/approval. Joseph Graziose, the executive vice president of residential development for RXR, presented a number of amended plans to the PUD before the board during the hour-long presentation.

According to RXR, the current construction for the buildings that are already completed are as follows: Harbor Landing North has a total of 177 units, all of the construction is 100 percent completed and the building is 95 percent leased and 85

percent occupied. In Harbor Landing South, which has 208 rental units, the building is 14 percent leased, with the first occupancy taking place this month. At the Beacon, which has a total of 167 condo units, nearly 45 percent are sold.

RXR went over the initial plans from 2016 for blocks D, E, and F. The original PUD amendment included a 50,000 square-foot office building with parking at block D, a market-range rental building with 101 units at block E, and 56 workforce condo units at block F. The real estate developer is now proposing a consolidation of those parcels. According to its amended plans of those lots, there will be one single building in blocks E and F, which will include a 172-unit rental

building.

The new plan includes less mass, more view corridors, better views of the water, more contiguous space and a total of 346 condo units. It proposes a restaurant at the ground floor, outdoor seating and a wellness center/spa, which will be open to the public, and room for more waterfront views. A portion of open space will be relocated to take advantage of the proximity to the waterfront. The construction will be split into three phases, A1: 136 units/10 stories; A2: 75 units/8 stories; and A3: 135 units/9 stories.

The board plans to vote on these amended plans as well as the continued sales tax exemption at its next meeting, which will be held later this month.

St. Paul Is Stabilized

alter Beal, project executive for CNY Construction, recently provided the Garden City Board of Trustees with a report on St. Paul’s stabilization progress, as well as a 30-day look ahead. Among the highlights of the report: Talty Construction completed its work for the St. Paul’s window protection, which included an additional $18,000 change order for additional windows that weren’t identified at first. In addition, Dom’s Lawnmaker, Inc. completed its work on ivy removal.

Sixty windows were included in the original window protection bid; once crews were able to get closer to the building during vine removal, it was discovered that an additional 49 windows needed attention. Several factors accounted for the addition: the drone wasn’t able to fully identify all the broken windows; building architecture didn’t lend itself to viewing all angles of the building from the ground level; several windows were intact, but it was discovered that the wood frames were rotted; and other damaged windows were obscured behind the ivy. Trustees recently adopted a $57,400 maintenance bond that guarantees for 18 months the completed work sealing the windows.

Ivy removal at St. Paul’s began July 20, later than anticipated due to the first two low bidders withdrawing due to their inability to meet the bid requirements.

To get a closer look at the overgrown ivy and broken

windows, visit the village website, www.gardencityny. net, and click on the “St. Paul’s” tab on the left side of the homepage for a close-up view of the building via drones. To view before and after photos, click on the “Notifications and Alerts” section.

The next steps are removing and storing the stained glass windows. CNY is preparing the bid specification to get this final piece of the St. Paul’s stabilization project in place.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

STRENGTH COMES FROM WITHIN 2020: the year of mourning.

The world continues to mourn loved ones, loss of normalcy, and more. As a griever prior to the coronavirus pandemic, reflecting on what I learned from my mom in the months before losing her gives me the strength to be hopeful in this incredibly difficult period in our lives.

On Jan. 25, my life changed forever. Well, it really began changing last August, but on Jan. 25, the change became permanent. Following that unfortunately memorable day was a multitude of emotions and an adjustment back to reality, but not for long.

In August 2019, I was a 23-year-old who just moved back in with her parents. I started a new job in New York City and I was thrilled to be home, reuniting with friends and family. I was looking forward to this new chapter in my life. Everything was normal.

In late August, I was in Chicago for my new online

graduate program’s opening ceremony. I arrived at JFK around 10 p.m. and my dad picked me up at the airport.

I was happy to be home for a few days before leaving for another trip. Halfway through the ride home, he dropped the news that at the time I did not know would be life-changing: “mommy is in the hospital.”

I wasn’t given a reason to be severely concerned—yet.

We went to visit her and she was in good spirits; I thought nothing of it. When she was discharged the next day, I left early from work and when I got home, my mom shared heart-shattering news. She had been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.

She accepted her new normal with incredible strength and positivity and went about her life adjusting it to include her doctor appointments, chemotherapy sessions, and more time to rest. Her illness was a shock for me initially, but as time evolved and I saw

how strong my mom was, I became as comfortable as I could with this new reality.

We laughed hard, we cried harder and we loved the hardest. As I reflect on the past few months, I realize the great life lessons I learned. A lesson to never take anything for granted. A lesson to never regret a single thing in your life. A lesson to truly live each moment to its fullest. Most importantly, I learned what strength is.

Strength is resiliency.

Strength is working hard for something you want and pushing yourself harder when you fail the first, second, and even the third time.

Strength is being able to say no when you’re too tired, not interested, or simply don’t want something. Strength is standing up for yourself time in and time out.

My mom encapsulated strength her entire life, but especially during her last five months. She pushed herself to

fight for her life until the last breath she took. And beyond that, she pushed me to be strong with her. I am lucky to have her as my role model to motivate me to be resilient and I am happy to share her irrepressible fortitude with the world.

I needed this strength to get through her incredibly difficult passing. I need this strength to get through the pandemic while also mourning my immense loss.

As the world begins to reopen slowly, I continue to need this strength to feel my mother’s absence again in the real world.

Her strength is what the world needs now. Accept the new reality and reflect on what your late loved ones would say to help you make it through our collective normal. Strength comes from within but let’s bring it to the forefront and remain steadfastly strong together.

VOTING BY MAIL Voting by mail should replace voting at the polls in it’s entirety. The two institutions that can definitely be trusted is the Nassau County Board of Elections and the United States Postal Service. The money saved by eliminating the need for poll

workers could be used to offer free postage on the envelopes used to vote by mail. The person voting would also have more time to consider what they are voting for and would not be confined to the hours of the polling place. It would also prevent unwanted

entry to schools and churches from anyone trying to harm someone. In addition the voter would not be harassed by someone trying to place unsolicited campaign literature into their hand. The additional revenue would boost the USPS and perhaps keep it afloat

TEMPER TANTRUMS? The Democratic Senate Minority and aspiring Majority Leader Charles Schumer had another one of his famous temper tantrums.

They would block any new CARE COVID-19 stimulus bill that did not include another

$3.9 billion in funding for the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

It’s ironic since Schumer consistently complains how President DonaldTrump and Congressional Republicans are inflexible when

negotiating any legislation.

So Schumer would hold up his own parties proposed $3 trillion or the Republicans $1 trillion next relief bill over a $4 billion difference? I never believed that Schumer, Pelosi and company could

be so partisan and childish.

Schumer has reached a new low.

Like any child, he clearly needs to back to his Park Slope co-op for a time out.

RETIRE THE REDSKINS The Washington Redskins National Football League franchise is a disgrace. In the year 2020, Washington team owner Daniel Snyder cannot possibly continue to rationalize keeping his ridiculously racist team name in the face of widespread, righteous public condemnation of Snyder’s racist recalcitrance.

Our nation’s capitol’s team

name “The Redskins” will be retired before this football season begins, if Representative Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) has anything to say about it.

“The time [for the name] has ended. There is no way to justify it. You either step into this century or you don’t. It’s up to the owner of the team to do that,” he said In 1997, Washington,

D.C.’s National Basketball Association franchise willingly changed its name from “The Bullets” to “The Wizards.”

So what’s Daniel Snyder’s problem (other than being a bigot)?

As silly as some of these monikers are below, any one of them would be preferable to Washington D.C.’s current NFL team name. Take your pick,

Mr. Snyder. * Washington Redcoats * Washington Rednecks * Washington Redrums * Washington Red Dawns * Washington Red Foxes * Washington Red Lines * Washington Red Rovers * Washington Red Tides * Washington Red Riding Hoods * Washington Red Sparrows —Jacob Pickering

Not So Handy Andy Although my father was good at household projects and repairs and his father was a carpenter, the “fix-it” gene passed right over me.

Surprisingly though, I did work for a contractor when I was in my early 20s, mostly as a roofer. In fact, once when I was using a power saw to cut a cedar gutter into pieces I fell off the roof.

When someone asks my wife Dale if I am handy around the house, she tells them: “I have to hide the hammers from him.”

Still, on a recent day off from work I grabbed an old can of epoxy spray paint from the garage, to cover over a rusted spot on an outside door. It wouldn’t work.

Through a set of careful calculations and keen observation, I discovered that the spray cap was stuck from dried epoxy. I pulled off the cap with a pair of pliers and then pushed a safety pin through the spray hole to clear out the dried paint. As I did this, epoxy dripped and sprayed all over my hands and splattered

Much later in life, as the CEO of an organization that owned three buildings, the maintenance man had a heart attack. It was uncertain when he would return. So, on a temporary basis, I came in to the office early in the morning, with a change of clothes, and took care of all urgent maintenance jobs. I did the same during my lunch hour and after hours if necessary. I did the grunt work and contacted a variety of contractors to take care of plumbing, carpentry, electrical, HVAC and others to do the work that actually required some skill.

Believe it or not I did that for a full year. I even had a tool box in my office that made it look like I knew what I was doing. But I made sure to hide the hammers first.

A Wake-Up Call To Congress Happily, there are only two months to go before America’s voters cast their ballots for president. Some of us wish it would take place tomorrow but the two months will go by very quickly. What will not pass rapidly is the daily assault on the media and social networks that we must endure to get through the next 60 days.

Since New York State is a very Democratic state, President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden will not be spending big dollars here compared to their expenditures in the battleground states. Both candidates are poised to spend billions of dollars between now and Nov. 3.

There Is Crying In Baseball Tom Seaver passed away.

He was more than just a baseball player to a generation of Mets fans.

He was the best baseball player and he was ours. He was young, brash, talented and good looking. He even had a beautiful, blonde wife. To a 12-year-old kid, he was a hero without a cape.

Should athletes be looked up to and revered by young kids? If they were all like Tom Seaver, the answer was a resounding yes.

When I saw the story of his passing on my Facebook feed, I was sad but not surprised. Last year, Seaver retired from “public” life due to his struggles with dementia. His pride would not allow him to be seen in a compromising position. Seaver also battled Lyme disease for a long time. He was 75 when he died.

It wasn’t until I turned to the Mets sports channel, SNY, and saw the vibrant 25-year-old Seaver again, that I realized I was weeping. I became that 12-year-old kid again, living and dying with the 1969 Mets. I was back in the schoolyard, playing ball with my friends and all we could talk about was baseball and the Mets. I was suddenly watching a baseball game again with my father. Huddled around our black-and-white TV, we watched

LONG ISLAND LIVING Paul DiSclafani pdisco23@aol.com

in horror as Jimmy Qualls dropped a base hit off Seaver with one out in the ninth inning, ruining his bid for a perfect game. I still remember how we howled with disgust, causing, and my mother to admonish us for being so emotional over a “stupid” baseball game.

Did Tom Seaver have any direct effect on my life? Other than trying to emulate his iconic delivery off the mound every time I threw a pitch in Whiffle Ball, no. You didn’t live your life to “be” Tom Seaver, but you certainly had a Mets shirt with his number on it.

I read somewhere that there are a few signs of getting older that men begin to notice as they age. First, the playboy centerfolds are younger than you. The others revolve around your

of the Mets. Seaver wanted the Mets to be winners, just like the fans did.

He led by example in his preparation, his performance, and, of course, his results.

There’s a great scene in the baseball movie The Sandlot, where one of the kids has a dream about being visited

by Babe Ruth. Ruth told him, “Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.” I’ll never forget what Tom Seaver meant to me as a kid growing up and his legendary status as one of the greatest baseball players will never die.

Veteran Affairs Adaptive Housing Bill Becomes Law

The president recently signed into law VFW-supported H.R. 3504, the Ryan Kules and Paul Benne specially Adoptive Housing Improvement Act of 2019. The new law will provide enhancements to the VA’s Specially Adapted Housing program by increasing the number of grants awarded, raising the dollar amount of the individual grants and expanding the number of times qualified veterans can use a housing grant. This change will help certain severely disabled veterans purchase adaptive homes or upgrade existing homes to meet their specific needs for daily living activities. The VFW applauds the passage of this important bill which will greatly benefit veterans.

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS

The Garden City Public Schools have been preparing for a smooth opening to the 2020-21 school year. Administrators and faculty members are excited to be back in their buildings and are ready to welcome students to positive, safe learning spaces.

During the week of Aug. 24, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha and members of the board of education toured the facilities and saw principals and teachers in action as they completed the final stages of setup.

Enthusiasm radiated through each building as principals, teachers and other staff members set the stage for a successful new school year. They arranged classrooms according to COVID-19 safety guidelines, with desks spaced six feet apart from one another and halls and stairways marked to minimize traffic flow.

The district has been innovative in utilizing all of its resources and find solutions to the challenging circumstances presented by COVID-19.

Several areas of the school buildings have been temporarily repurposed to accommodate the need for greater space. Select libraries, gymnasiums and cafeterias have been converted into classrooms, while other rooms were rearranged to meet distancing requirements.

The Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District announced to the community that POB alumna Madalyn Fernbach, Class of 2015, has been awarded a Fulbright U.S. Student Program Award to Poland for the 2020-21 academic year. She will support the teaching of English at the University of Science and Technology in Bydgoszcz as part of the Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship.

The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and creates lasting connections between the people of the U.S. and other countries. Selected in an open, merit-based competition that considers not only academic and professional achievement, but leadership potential and records of service, Fernbach was one of 2,100 U.S. citizens who will teach English and form connections across communities in both the U.S. and Poland.

“Madalyn is a prime example of what POB students can accomplish,” Dr. Mary O’Meara, superintendent of

the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District, said. “Nothing is more rewarding as an educator than hearing about the remarkable things our students achieve beyond the classroom. We wish Madalyn all the best on her journey to Poland.”

Following health and safety protocols, many of Massapequa’s new teachers attended a four-day orientation program at the high school.

The Massapequa School District is welcoming 63 new teachers for the 202021 school year who enter with great enthusiasm. Each school has at least three new teachers, with as many as 12 at McKenna Elementary School.

New faculty members run the gamut from elementary to middle school to high school teachers and span multiple subject areas. The group includes gifted and talented program teachers, librarians, psychologists, reading specialists, social workers, special education teachers and speech therapists.

The large group of new teachers this year follows a higher than usual number of retirements in June. Some are leave replacements and others have previously worked in the district and are moving into permanent roles.

Dr. Thomas Fasano, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, said that the new teachers represent “the very best” of candidates who went through a very thorough and rigorous hiring process. To help support their transition to Massapequa schools, the district held an extensive four-day new teacher orientation program at Massapequa High School from Aug. 18 to 21.

The program included welcoming remarks from Superintendent Lucille Iconis and Board of Education President Kerry Wachter, an introduction to technology tools and resources, overviews of curriculum, professional development and special education, breakout groups and meetings with department supervisors and building administrators. In a sign of the times, new teachers had to wear masks during orientation and complete a daily health questionnaire.

Students stepped foot in Seaford’s four schools for the first time since mid-March as the 2020-21 school year opened on Sept. 8. But, as life during the COVID-19 pandemic has been a little bit different, so was the reopening of school.

Seaford’s new year is beginning gradually, with days set aside during the first week for specific grades to attend school so students could become acclimated to all of the health and safety protocols. On the first day, Harbor and Manor elementary schools welcomed fourth and fifth graders, who met their teachers and learned about new procedures such as eating lunch in their classroom and social distancing at recess. Seaford Middle School’s new sixth graders also were in class on the first day.

As students walked up to Harbor, they were greeted with sidewalk chalk messages including “Welcome Back,” “Longest Spring Break Ever” and “Seaford Pride.”

At Seaford High School, students will come to school every day, but they will attend classes in person either in the morning or afternoon on rotating days, while participating in distance learning the other half of the day.

There was a special treat for the senior class when they came to school on Sept. 8. Large letters spelled out “Last First Day Class of 2021” on the center lawn, so seniors could take pictures to memorialize their final year. Per pandemic protocols, they could take photos together with masks, or let their faces be seen as they stood far apart.

Falling For The Trends Interior designer Jenny Tzakas shares her insight on how to decorate your home this fall season

BY EMILY SAUCHELLI

I

esauchelli@antonnews.com

nterior designer Jenny Tzakas said there are a lot of different trends for the fall season, but there is one trend that sticks out above the rest.

“The most important trend for the fall is going to be designing your house to fit the new working from home lifestyle,” Tzakas said. “Home offices are the biggest thing because now people are working in their house. Their island is becoming their office. So adapting to the new working environment is definitely a trend that a lot of customers are asking for and also home gyms.”

According to Tzakas, earth tones are a trend that will be popping up this coming fall.

“Earth tones are browns, beiges and oranges,” she said. “If we are talking about colors, it transcends the entire house. I would say that wall color, flooring, really anywhere, but those would be the main areas—even cabinets.”

Incorporating florals into your home design is going to be a big trend this fall as well.

“Botanicals is a big trend for the fall and it is used a lot in dining rooms and foyers,” she said. “It can be any kind of floral wallpaper, not a specific type of floral. I would also add natural textures like grass cloth, silk and suede. Natural textures are also very big now with wallpaper. Besides floral, I would say grass cloth is definitely a top contender. Wallpaper in general—not just floral— you can put anywhere. Powder rooms are another place that you’ll see floral wallpaper.”

Buying items that are the same style are things of the past since mixing and matching pieces is something that is encouraged nowadays.

“Sets are no longer the trend,” she said. “You want a collection of things that don’t match perfectly. In general, you don’t want to buy a set. You don’t want things to match together. I like my rooms to be a collection of things that I love. So they don’t have to be match-y.

They just have to work together.”

A ’70s vibe trend, which can be described as retro and bohemian, is also making its way back into style.

“Things such as curved lines and camelback furniture [are in trend],” she said. “There is not a specific color that is used only in ’70s décor. It’s kind of just the style that is reminiscent of that

A fall trend one should expect to see is the color orange.

time period. The colors tended to be golds, browns and earth tones, which were very popular in the ’70s, but it’s just a trend towards that kind of style.

Psychedelic floral print, bohemian like macramé and the tulip chair was a very popular style chair in the ’70s.

Macramé is a crocheted shag rug.

Rattan furniture is very big right now.

Earth tones are becoming a popular color trend for the fall.

Rattan can be described as wicker furniture. It can be in living rooms, on sofas and on chairs. It can be anything, it can be light fixtures. You’re going to see a lot of geometric shapes with the furniture. Also orange color that is very ’70s.”

Another trend on the horizon is customers wanting to be

environmentally-friendly, which is something Tzakas’ clients continue to express their concerns about.

“They are being more environmentally-conscious when it comes to design by using more green products and paints that have environmentally-safe ingredients,” she said.

“So, low VOS for paint, stains and even furniture. There are more products now that are more environmentally-friendly.”

For this upcoming fall, not everything in a person’s home has to be of the same material. Tzakas said bringing a sense of uniqueness to your home is what is desired.

“People used to be very, if we’re doing gold hardware in the kitchen, then everything has to be gold,” she said. “The light fixtures, the accessories all have to match. That’s not the case anymore. Mixing and making it kind of an eclectic look is very much the trend.”

And if you’re on the hunt for new fall items to bring into your home, there are a variety of stores to choose from.

“Anthropologie has a great home décor department and they’re very in touch with what’s on trend,” she said. “They have a very ’70s vibe and that’s kind of their style anyway.

Anthropologie would be a place that I would recommend. Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel are others. They all kind of stay on trend and carry a little bit of everything. My kids probably know that HomeGoods is my favorite store. HomeGoods is definitely a shopper’s destination. You can get some really great accessories. I’ve gotten some great pieces. You can find some designer pieces occasionally.

HomeGoods is definitely on the top of my list. I think Wayfair is a great online source, especially now with COVID-19 and a lot of the stores not being open.

Wayfair is a great outlet to find things and they come to your house within a few days. IKEA is great for kid’s rooms, basements and home offices.”

Tzakas owns and operates her own interior design business, Jenny Tzakas Interiors. Her design firm is based in Garden City. She serves the surrounding areas of Long Island, Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn.

How framing art can elevate any space

IT’S ALL

BY EMILY SAUCHELLI

ABOUT

THE

6A

Frame

esauchelli@antonnews.com

Are you a person who loves art, but doesn’t know a thing about framing? Greg Schnoor is an expert in the art framing field and said framing is just as important as the art that goes inside it. “If you just take art and hang it on the wall without a frame it looks incomplete,” he said. “The framing and the matting that goes around the art enhances the piece and brings it out. It [the framing] finishes off the piece. The frame is designed to not only protect the art but to enhance it.”

Q A

What process do you use for finding the right frames for art?

The customer comes in and you chat a few minutes. You ask the customer where they’re going to put it, what their thoughts are and if they had any thoughts on how they wanted to do it and then you go from there. I listen to the customer carefully. At the same time, I’ve been doing this for more than 40 years, so I guide the customer in the right direction. You want to find out what style house they have, traditional or

contemporary. What room of the house it’s [the frame] going in. You don’t put a formal frame for something that’s going in the kitchen or bathroom. Talking to the customer, you get a lead and then you go from there.

Q A

What frames do you suggest for different types of artwork?

Framing is an art. There’s not one set of frames that go on photographs. You can have a wedding photograph versus a mountain scene, so that would tend to get different styles

of frames. For photographs, I would say, most of the time it’s more of a simple frame. Photographers tend to like a white matte in a black frame.

Somebody can bring in a nice fine art piece and say they have a contemporary house, so you’re not going to show them traditional stuff. The same piece of artwork can be brought in by the next customer and say they have a traditional house and that’s going to be framed with traditional frames. It’s not always just the artwork; it’s where it’s going to hang that dictates the type of frame.

Q A

What styles are there for framing?

Generally, when you think contemporary, you think of simple, clean lines. When you’re traditional, think of ornate with lots of grooves and beading. For traditional, we have lots of different shades of gold. The way that’s achieved is the color that you put under the gold and what you do on top of the gold changes the tint of the gold. Let’s say you have a

DESIGN & DÉCOR • SEPTEMBER 16 - 22, 2020

landscape and it’s got a lot of yellows and brown tones. You would not want a loud gold. You would go with a gold that has a brown antique color to it that would soften the gold to go with the picture. Contemporary art tends to be louder, brighter tones. There’s no specific color.

Q A

What is the difference between custom and ready-made frames?

Custom versus ready-made is a world of difference. In custom, everything is coordinated around that piece of artwork and sized properly to the artwork. We’re designing and building that frame around that piece of art. When people buy the readymades, it never seems to fit quite right.

There’s also quality difference. The ready-mades don’t have conservation glass to protect the artwork. They don’t have acid-free materials to protect the artwork. There’s so many little variables and tools that we have here that someone can’t possibly have at home.

Q A

For someone who has a low budget, what could be suggested for frames?

A customer comes in and says I’m really price conscious and we can guide people to lower priced frames. I always tell a customer I’ll do as much or as little as you like. Sometimes people bring in a ready-made frame and I will make a beautiful matte and then fit it in for them. There’s different ways to save instead of going over the top with a total custom job. I’ll work up a job for a customer and they’ll say, ‘it’s higher than my budget, what can we do?’ We’ll change to a simpler frame. We’ll do a single matte instead of a double matte. Maybe we’ll take the conservation glass and use regular glass. All those things chip a little away at the price. They still get a nice job, but it’s still way above dropping it in a pre-made frame.

here. We have a full shop downstairs.

We get photographs fine art prints, degrees. That would be the normal stuff, posters, fine art prints. Then you get people who have a family heirloom. We’ve framed wedding dresses.

We do sports jerseys. You literally can frame anything. The sky’s the limit.

Whatever you can bring in the door, we can figure out how to frame it.

Q A

Is there a certain framing trend that you noticed is becoming popular?

Rustic frames are really hot right now. We have a line of reclaimed wood. They actually tear down old barns and cut up the barn wood and we make it into frames. It’s got nail holes with a little bit of rust and a lot of splintering. It’s all weathered from being in the elements for so many years.

Design the perfect room with Safavieh’s interior design experts

BY CAROLINE RYAN

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

Safavieh, a high-end retailer for quality home furnishing offers complementary design services to help meet all of your design needs. Whether you are looking to create a room, or refresh an existing room in your home, hiring an interior designer can be an important part of the design process.

“S

afavieh is all about creating an environment where you feel comfortable living in your home—where everything makes sense,” Michael Yaraghi, the CEO of Safavieh, said. “We start from scratch, from the paint to the wallpaper to the lighting to the furniture. We do the whole thing for them so it’s done the right way and [all of the furniture fits].

People are often shocked what they can do with their space once it’s done by a professional designer versus the way they had it before—using their own expertise without having the knowledge of how things fit in a room.”

From large area rentals, apartment living, residential homes or hospitality, Safavieh’s 64 interior designers are available to help create the ultimate space.

“Safavieh is a high-end company, we carry the top brand names from Europe and the United States,” Yaraghi said. “The designers are very experienced. They go to High Point twice a year to see the latest colors and designs that are available.”

Yaraghi explained that each of the designers attend the High Point Market, the world’s largest home furnishings trade show twice a year to stay up to date on the latest fashion trends, having more opportunities for learning about fashion and interior design than your average retail designer.

The biggest problem most people have when creating a space on their own is the scale of the room versus the size of the furniture, Yaraghi stated.

With the complementary services offered at Safavieh, you don’t pay for the design expert yourself. An expert will consult with you about what you are looking to do in the room and they will scale the room to help you create a space that best fits your needs.

Trends that have become more popular the last few months include natural wood, lighter grey tones, as well as fabrics that are stain-resistant especially now that so many are working and learning from home.

“The lifestyle is becoming more casual, open concepts, lighter colors, white is becoming popular as far as

paint color,” Yaraghi said. “People are spending a lot more time inside the house. The lighter colors will make you feel you are outdoors. People are using [stain-resistant] fabrics, especially if they have children. If you even drop a glass of wine, it will come right out. It’s a huge improvement in technology.”

Disrupting your day-to-day activities to transform a room can seem overwhelming. Luckily, Safavieh has several large warehouses across the tri-state area, making the transition to a new or refurbished room a rather short process. After two meetings with the interior design expert to discuss the overall vision for the project, the designer can begin helping you create your dream room. Yaraghi stated that a room is typically designed and ready for use in as little as four days or a week.

So, why hire a Safavieh design expert to create your space when there are plenty of home furnishing stores nearby? The answer is simple. Safavieh has more than 200 different brands, offering you a wide array of options.

“With us the sky is the limit,” Yaraghi said. “Whether you want top-of-theline furniture from Italy or you want an American brand, you could have a budget for $5,000 or $500,000. That’s what is so special about Safavieh, you’re not limited to anything, any

lifestyle, any price point, large or small—we can do it for you.”

The retailer has also taken recent precautions against the COVID-19 pandemic, offering clients a safe, yet socially distant experience in their showrooms. Each showroom is extremely large, which already allows visitors to safely remain six-feet from one another. Clients and staff are required to wear a face covering at all times while in the building.

“We have created these rooms at our design center, if say there are six clients working with their designers they are all going to be in separate rooms,” Yaraghi said. “Before we were all sharing a room because we had multiple people working in one design center. Now they are social distancing and they each in a separate room with a large TV screen [for viewing] so the clients don’t have to get close to anyone. We have cleaning services that come before we open the showroom and again before we [leave at night] they do the same thing.”

Safavieh has showrooms located in Port Washington, Glen Cove, Manhasset and Farmingdale, as well as several locations in New Jersey, Connecticut and New York City.

Assumption Feast Carries On Group perseveres despite pandemic

ocals know that August brings the Feast of the Assumption of Mary complete with a Mass honoring the Blessed Mother, a procession up Post and Westbury avenues, and five days and nights of a carnival. There are rides, games of chance, music and of course great food and drink—zeppole, pizza, homemade sauce and wine and traditional desserts.

This year, organizers of the Maria SS Dell’Assunta Society were planning their 110th feast when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Like so many organizations, they faced a dilemma: Cancel the event? If not, what will it look like?

The annual feast, also known it Italy as “Ferragosto,” is the Society’s flagship event—celebrating Italian culture and community, honoring the Blessed Mother, and generating funds for the society’s charitable programs, which include scholarships and donations to other service organizations.

COSMETIC SURGERY TODAY

BY STEPHEN T. GREENBERG, MD, FACS

Be Beautiful in Your Own Skin!

If you wish to significantly reduce cellulite anywhere on your body, Cellulaze™ can help you achieve a smooth, rejuvenated skin texture.

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.

Contact Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery today to learn how Cellulaze™ can help make your skin smoother and more youthful looking. Call today for your complimentary consultation 516-364-4200 or learn more at www. greenbergcosmeticsurgery.com.

Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg offers complimentary consultations at his Woodbury, Southampton and Manhattan offices. To schedule an appointment, or request additional information, call 516-364-4200 or visit www.GreenbergCosmeticSurgery.com.

shorter procession and an outdoor Mass at the Society Hall at 373 Maple Ave., Westbury.

Although this year’s feast took place on one day, it was no less special to Dell’Assunta members and the community. Some said it was even more meaningful given the fact that many turned out for an abbreviated procession and outdoor Mass, officiated by St. Brigid’s Church Pastor Anthony Stanganelli.

President Ullo said that “the Dell’Assunta society has been around for over 109 years, always having to change with the times. Our faith in the Blessed Mother moved us forward to have this wonderful Mass supporting our faith.”

The procession began its half-mile journey from St. Brigid/Our Lady of Hope Regional School as opposed to the three-quarters-of-a-mile trip from St. Brigid’s to the fairgrounds at the school.

As is custom, society members and community elders carried a statue of the Virgin Mary, which along with the platform on which She stands, weighs several hundred pounds.

More than 100 community members awaited the procession’s arrival at the Maria SS Dell’Assunta Society Hall. Although the outdoor Mass was not the typical set-up (chairs arranged to ensure safe spacing, everyone wore masks), the Mass was nothing short of inspirational.

Following the Mass, Domenico Buffolino and family fired up their wood-fired pizza oven and fed the crowd delicious pizzas.

Vice President John Buffolino reminds community members that the Maria SS Dell’Assunta Society has an ongoing membership drive. He added that the society is “pleased to have people with love and compassion for the Blessed Mother to join our wonderful organization.”

Buffolino suggested those interested in joining the Society may reach in different ways: Apply online at dellassuntasocietyofwestbury.com and click the “Join Today” link, send an email to dellassuntasociety@gmail. com or call the society’s office at 516-521-7342.

A closer look inside the Times Square flagship shop.

KRISPY KREME from page 33 “To me it’s not just a shop, but an experience,” general manager of the Times Square location Sara Harvell, said. “As a Jersey girl, we often came to the city and coming here was always an adventure. I loved experiencing the bright lights, the big city vibe and all that New York City has to offer. I want our guests to feel the same thing when they come into this shop.”

Krispy Kreme’s Times Square location was originally scheduled to have its grand opening in May, but due to the pandemic, its opening was delayed. Reflecting our new normal, Krispy Kreme is dedicated to keeping its customers safe by following all health and safety protocols, and will implement a plan that is designed to keep everyone safe by controlling crowds, including remote queueing and providing guests the ability to reserve a time online to visit the shop.

Inside the shop, Krispy Kreme will adhere to COVID-19 regulations and guidelines by screening employees’ health at the beginning of their shifts, implementing more frequent hand-washing, face masks must be worn, social distancing floor stickers will be placed as well as protective barriers at ordering points and

additional disinfecting throughout the shop. People can also order doughnuts ahead of time for pickup at the Times Square location by visiting www.KrispyKreme.com or by using Krispy Kreme’s mobile app.

Even though visitors and staff will be socially distant, everyone will be sure to get a great view of how glazed doughnuts are made when they visit the theater.

“Our guests can watch as we make 270 dozen doughnuts an hour right here in the doughnut theater,” master doughnut maker David Lee said. “And we even have more support churning out 110 dozen original glazed doughnuts per hour on a separate line dedicated solely to meeting the needs of all our visitors at our walk-up window.”

And if the original glazed doughnut isn’t your go-to, Krispy Kreme’s Times Square location offers 16 different types of freshly made doughnuts.

“We have our fan favorites of raspberry filled [doughnuts], strawberry ice with sprinkles and you can’t forget my personal favorite, which is the cake batter,” assistant

general manager Gabriel St. Vincent said.

The Times Square shop is part of Krispy Kreme’s 2020 expansion in New York City, which by the end of the year The iconic Big Apple will total eight shops doughnut exclusive from uptown to downtown, includto Times Square. ing the brand’s remodeled Penn Station location.

This iconic brand will make Times Square sweeter and we can’t wait to take a bite.”

He was the last survivor of his immediate family. Cappy was born of Italian immigrants in 1930 and raised in Glen Cove’s “Little Italy,” The Orchard. Heeding the call to service by a local returning WWII soldier, Cap decided the next day to immediately enlist in the US Army. His musical talents secured him as an Army bugler, traveling the country with the emotional task of playing during military funeral services. In consideration of the bereaved, he originated playing “Taps” at a distance from the gravesite, beyond a hill and such. It was his last wish.

Even before being officially appointed to the Glen Cove Police Department in 1964, while on police academy patrol, he spotted a stolen vehicle in traffic, resulting in arrest.

He was awarded 57 departmental

commendations and citations for exceptional duty and held the highest arrest record in Nassau County for law enforcement.

Detective Cap was appointed by the City of Glen Cove as Military Historian in the 1970s. Detective Capobianco and his late wife, Dorothy, were especially proud of their five children in medicine; Angela, Michael, Anthony, John and Paul, as well as their grandchildren; Peter, Quentin, Ian, Sophia, Christine and Luke.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ll settle into a mindset that makes the whole of life more interesting and engaging to you. You’ll be full of the sort of questions that do not engender confusion but wonderment. The new year opens up for you as a responsibility; belief or limitation falls away in the early weeks. You’ll be proud of what you build with others in March and could turn around and sell it or double down on an investment. You’ll enjoy a stretch of luxury in April that sets you up for the intense and rewarding exertion.

© 2020 Australian Word Games Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Like a hot air balloon, rising to new heights this week will be a matter of heating things up at the core as well as liberating some mental weight. Do you have anyone to forgive? Yourself maybe?

You’ll bring it up and then let it go, just like you’re dropping a sandbag off the side of your life so you can lift into higher currents.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). “Be not Censorious,” said Baltasar Gracian, “There are men of gloomy character who regard everything as faulty.” The Baroque philosopher was referring to the sort of buzzkills and Negative Nellies that are to be avoided this week. Be a champion, a cheerleader and a voice in the roar of the crowd.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You pride yourself on being open-minded, but there are some things you just know and will act accordingly. As for your reasons, some of them are conscious, others mysterious, and some have their own curious math, too. Every time you add it up, the sum is a particular course of action. No protest will sway you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). As far as relationships go, it is difficult to step lightly. How can you? How can anyone? Everyone has a weight and cannot put down any different amount of it. Impact can be changed with speed and angles, so use that to your advantage this week. Try different approaches; play with timing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be involved in some pretty creative problem-solving, which puts you in a sweet position to relate to like-minds and think deeply into the things that others take for granted. Clues and breakthroughs come when you consider the tools and technology you enjoy in daily life, especially history and origins.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If only we could hear people’s inside voices, we might feel differently about our own experience. Fortunate indeed is the person who can shed a pretty light on matters that relate to the self and speak sweet, supportive words internally. Rest assured, this can be done without ruining productivity or self-discipline. Just be nice.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Even if you technically need someone’s approval to move forward with your plans, it won’t be what motivates you. You care nothing of pleasing the audience this week as you focus intently on the job at hand and on getting the results you want -- the ones that will set you up beautifully for your next move.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Here’s a working definition of “relaxation”: to follow your own desire for your own reasons without making requirements that those reasons make sense, be mutually beneficial, sound right or be any good at all. The reasons needn’t sound right or be any good at all. “Because I want to” is reason enough.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Perhaps what bothers you need not be overcome so much as accepted. The agitation you feel is just a signal -- a warning to let you know where the potential danger lies so you can steer away it. In doing so, you’ll avoid repeating past mistakes and tolerating suboptimal situations.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As for the drama inside your head, others aren’t really involved unless you make them. Mostly doing so is unnecessary and could even be rude if it goes on too long or is unpleasant. There are so many options to exorcise bad energy, including writing, physical exertion, creative outlets, therapy and more.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What matters most this week is not what you do but why you do it. Anything done out of a desire to make others happy, earn validation or prove your worthiness will be difficult to accomplish.

What you do to satisfy your own curiosities and requirements will happen smoothly and with fortunate results.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll take charge of your schedule and timing. To be too accessible and respond instantaneously to the every need of others is to make yourself indispensable in the worst ways. Unless dealing with infants, health care or other work that demands immediacy, you’ll do well to set your own pace and stride.

Remembering The Life And Legacy Of Mets Great Tom Seaver

BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

T

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

om Seaver was, is and always will be “The Franchise.” The famed New York Mets pitcher died on Aug. 31 at the age of 75 following a tragic battle with dementia.

The walls inside of 41 Seaver Way in Flushing are crying, even if you can’t hear them.

A person’s legacy is not only crowned by their achievements, but rather the impact they make on others. For Seaver, the Californian presented himself as a Hall of Famer both on and off the field.

Hank Aaron, who hit the second-most home runs in MLB history with 755 career dingers, summed up Seaver’s dominance perfectly while speaking to SNY’s Steve Gelbs just hours after the legendary pitcher’s death.

“He was the best pitcher I ever faced,” Aaron, who hit .205 against Seaver in his career, said.

No. 41 was a dominating force throughout his 20-year MLB career.

Seaver won an astonishing 311 games, 198 of which were in his 12 years with the orange and blue. In 656 games (647 starts), Seaver’s ERA was 2.86, making him one of the best pitchers of all-time.

Seaver became a Met in 1967, making a mere $10,000 as a rookie.

Right off the bat, he excelled, tossing 18 complete games with two shutouts in his first season. From there on out, the accolades started rolling in.

Rookie of the Year. All Star. Cy Young winner. The list went on and on.

“It’s a tough day,” Keith Hernandez, a Mets broadcaster and MLB veteran, said the day after Seaver’s death.

On Sept. 1, the Mets took to the field in a somber way. Every player, in traditional Seaver way, rubbed dirt on their knees. Seaver would drop his knee down to the ground on the mound as he tossed his unbelievable pitches.

The Seaver knee drag was epic in of itself, and it’s amazing he never hurt his leg in the process.

Seaver is credited with turning the Mets around in the late 1960s. Prior to his Flushing arrival, the Mets were

anything but a force to be reckoned with.

In 1969, Seaver’s career took off just as the Mets were becoming a leading force in baseball.

No. 41 pitched with dominance, winning 25 games with five shutouts en route to the team’s first of two World Series trophies. In an outstanding 273.1 innings, he allowed a mere 202 hits and held a 2.21 ERA. That sealed the deal for his first of three Cy Young Awards, making him the best pitcher in the majors.

Though the Mets would not win another championship in the Seaver era, he continued to be the face of the

organization through 1977. Seaver was a wizard on the mound in his time with the Mets. He never posted an ERA above 3.2, a statistic that can’t go unnoticed.

Eventually, he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds, returning to New York in 1983 before finishing his career with the Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox. Seaver is one of only two pitchers to have more than 300 wins, 3,000 career strikeouts and a sub-3.00 ERA, with the other being Walter Johnson. Think about it this way, his wins above replacement is recorded at 92.4, according to

FanGraphs, making him one of the top pitchers—if not the best ever—to pitch in a Major League Baseball game.

The legend carried himself like a Hall of Famer, taking in the pressure of New York as the team’s popularity continued to be on the incline.

June 24, 1988 became a day to remember in New York. Tom Terrific’s number would remain in Flushing for eternity. And four years later, Seaver made history again. This time, 425 out of 430 members of the Baseball Hall of Fame voted him in for what was, at the time, the highest voting percentage for an electee.

Seaver even became an analyst for the Mets and New York Yankees, working with the famed Vin Scully in 1989 at NBC. From 1999 to 2005, the legend called Mets games on TV before focusing on his California winery.

Seaver is survived by his wife Nancy and his two children, Sarah and Anni. May his memory forever be a blessing for them, as well as for all baseball fans across the nation.
