Board Discusses COVID Protocols

BY CAROLINE RYAN

T

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

he Port Washington School District’s Board of Education held their monthly meeting on Sept. 21 in which they discussed updated COVID protocols as well as how the district plans to inform the community of a positive COVID case within the district.

Under new guidance from the New York State Department of Health, the district made some additional edits to their reopening plan.

“Some recent modifications to the plan include only accepting PCR test results, and also letting siblings stay in school if their siblings have symptoms,” Assistant Superintendent of General Administration Dr. Chris Shields said. “The committee has also discussed the requirement for all staff to be tested weekly if they are not vaccinated.”

Dr. Shields stated that the reopening committee has also been discussing how they plan to communicate to the district when there is a positive COVID case.

“Dr. Hynes will be sharing a new table format of positive cases each Friday and close contacts will be contacted at the school level,” Dr Shields said. “We do understand that some parents have asked that whole classes be informed of a positive case and we’re taking that under consideration.

We spoke about this just today and we are going to revisit it at our Oct. 5 meeting.”

The current system in place only notifies parents of a positive COVID case if the student has come in close contact with the person who tested positive. Several board members were disappointed with the Reopening Committee’s recommendation regarding notifying individual parents

instead of whole classrooms about a positive case.

“The sense of the [Reopening] Committee was we should stay with the current practice, monitor it over the next two weeks and if we need to we can adjust it,” Dr. Shields said.

“When you say you’re going to reevaluate it in two weeks, what would change it in two weeks?” board member Adam Smith said.

“There’s a lot of things to consider,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michael Hynes said. “Let’s look at what we have in front of us—number of cases, how the board feels as we continue to move forward and then looking at the perceptions and the perspectives from our principals as well to see what their feedback is.”

Dr. Hynes stated that the district is looking to set up a COVID dashboard on the school’s website, which will be updated whenever there is a new positive case so that parents would have access to that information right away.

“What the community member will notice is that the total number of cases that we have within a district, within each building collectively over time and then on top you will notice in that row the number of new cases for that week,” Dr. Hynes said. “You will be able to parse out two different pieces of information. Let’s roll that out for two weeks, receive some feedback and then make that recommendation to the board moving forward in October.”

Board member Rachel Gilliar disagreed with this decision, stating that notifying parents of COVID cases in the classroom will allow them to make a more informed decision regarding their child.

“We need the parents as well to be partnering with us in making sure that kids can stay in school in the midst of a pandemic,” Gilliar said “We need them to be alert to what’s going on and to also be vigilant to make sure they are minimizing the risk to their own child in their own community. Withholding this information doesn’t allow parents to make decisions based on what they know their own personal family’s risk level to be, which is information that the school district doesn’t have.”

Smith also disagreed with the decision stating that while he has always been “very supportive of the Reopening Committee and the job they have done thus far,” he feels that this was “not the correct decision.”

“I think notifying the entire district every Friday is great,” Smith said.

“I think the dashboard is great. But there’s no reason not to inform a classroom when there’s a positive

case in the class. It’s not a huge burden. I think it’s logical. Not notifying people seems purposeful. It doesn’t make sense.”

Dr. Hynes stated that the Reopening Committee discussed this topic at length during their meeting and ultimately came to the conclusion to wait two weeks to see how the community feels about the dashboard and the information being communicated to them.

“What we are asking for is to at least allow more than a week to move forward to see where we are and then we revisit it,” Dr. Hynes said. “Moving forward, I would ask that our building administrators see what other forms of feedback we could acquire and then make a recommendation moving forward. Give us two more weeks, then let’s come back and have another conversation about it.”

President Emily Beys stated that the Reopening Committee also needed the additional two weeks to discuss how they would implement a modified process if need be. The board then asked Dr. Hynes and Dr. Shields to share their concerns with the committee during the next meeting.

“I would ask that you bring back to the committee sooner than Oct. 5 that at least four people on the board are not happy with this decision,” Smith said.

Unleashed Pet Boutique & Spa Reopens

BY CAROLINE RYAN

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

fter being closed for nearly a year, Unleashed Pet Boutique & Spa, located at 122 Shore Rd., in Port Washington recently reopened. Laura Palattella, resident of Port Washington and owner of Unleashed Pet Boutique & Spa, has worked in the dog grooming business for 17 years.

“Port Washington couldn’t be nicer to us,” Palattella said. “People have been wonderful. I feel so fortunate.

Everyone has said, ‘we’re so glad you’re back’ and I’m so happy to be back.”

Unleashed Pet Boutique & Spa carries high-end pet supplies including specialty food, raw and organic dog food and dog treats. Palattella is very particular with the types of dog food that she carries. She researches each product to make sure she is purchasing high-quality products without harmful or unnecessary ingredients.

“I’m very particular with the foods I carry,” Palattella said. “I [purchase from] small family-owned companies.

Unleashed Pet Boutique & Spa sells a variety of dog food and treats and also offers grooming services. (Photo courtesy of Laura Palattella) What you can get at the supermarket—you’re not going to find it at my store. The treats and the food that I bring in have limited ingredients.

When you walk into my store you’re buying quality and limited ingredients—there’s nothing in here that contains fillers or anything like that.”

Palattella even makes and sells her own dog treats, which she named Fiona’s Treats after her own Irish wolfhound Fiona. The treats do not contain any preservatives and are made of sweet potato and dehydrated chicken.

Palattella also offers grooming

services (available by appointment only) for dogs of all sizes. Grooming prices are calculated by the type of coat and size of the animal.

Appointments begin at 8:30 a.m. for geriatric and special needs dogs and 9 a.m. for all other dogs. Palattella stated that the master groomers do their best to work with their clients’ needs and always seek to have the dogs’ best interest at heart. She welcomes residents to come visit the store if they are interested in having their dog groomed but want to see what their facility looks like.

“We let people look in the back to see the facility because a lot of places don’t allow the owners to take a look around,” Palattella said. “We welcome the [opportunity for the] owners to come see. We’re pretty proud of how clean our facility is.”

Currently, for every dog that is groomed at Unleashed, Palattella will be donating $1 to the Farrell Scholarship Fund, in memory of James and Michael Farrell, two brothers from Manhasset who were killed in a head-on car crash in July.

While grooming is by appointment only, Palattella encourages pet parents to just come into the store if they need their dogs nails cut or their ears cleaned. Summer store hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pet parents can set up a grooming appointment via phone by calling 516-883-1003.

Spectrum Designs Adding And Retaining Jobs For Disabled Population Spectrum Designs is one of four Long Island organizations which recently received allocated low-cost electricity from New York Power Authority as part of the state’s ReCharge NY program.

This economic development initiative allows qualifying businesses and nonprofits to lower their energy costs in exchange for commitments such as growing employment or expanding operations, with the ultimate goal of attracting, keeping and growing businesses throughout New York.

Spectrum Designs is a New Yorkbased full-service custom apparel and promotional products business with a social mission: to provide meaningful and inclusive employment opportunities for people on the autism spectrum.

Governor Kathy Hochul, who visited Spectrum Designs’ Westchester location this past April and its flagship location in Port Washington in July, stated that the allocations attract “new private capital investment [by businesses] and create hundreds of good jobs.”

For its part, Spectrum’s proven model of upward mobility through

promotions and pay raises is aligned with ReCharge NY’s goal of statewide job creation and retention. In exchange for access to this lower cost energy for the next seven years, the nonprofit has committed to retaining 28 roles and onboarding at least three new team members.

At Spectrum Designs, more than 50 percent of the workforce is comprised of New Yorkers with disabilities. Since its inception in 2011, its combined affiliates (including sister enterprises Spectrum Bakes and Spectrum Suds) have provided more than 100,000 hours of paid employment, resulting in total wages of more than $1.5M to this under-served population.

“We were informed that the chosen organizations would be ones that ‘do the most good for New York,’ so it is quite an honor to be selected,” Patrick Bardsley, CEO and co-founder of Spectrum Designs, said. “Protecting our planet and seeking ways towards a more sustainable future is as important to us as securing and sustaining employment to people on the autism spectrum.”

Spectrum Designs is committed to helping the planet by using eco-friendly products. (Photo courtesy of Spectrum Designs) Spectrum Designs is committed to the planet in a variety of ways: • Pleasantville location is 100 percent powered by renewable energy • LED lights installed at both facilities • Only eco-friendly inks are used in the printing process • Only soy-based cleaners are used • Apparel and other items are shipped in compostable bags • The milling of the paper for

corrugated boxes is certified by Sustainable Forest Initiative • Spectrum discloses environmental impact data to CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project), joining 10,000+ other companies, states, and regions who support environmental action globally To learn more, visit Spectrum Designs, spectrumdesigns.org.

The Amsterdam At Harborside To Receive $40 Million In New Financing T News

Port Wrestling To Hold Pre-Season Meeting

BY PORT WASHINGTON NEWS STAFF portwashington@antonmediagroup.com

T

he Port Washington wrestling program was a hidden gem for many years, however the program’s success both on and off the mats, and its lasting impact on it’s former student-athletes has gained a lot of momentum.

It can be challenging, especially when an individual starts out, however every single person that joins the Port Washington wrestling program is treated as an equal no matter their skill level or success and there are an incredible amount of life-skills taught through the sport and program. The experience you gain from wrestling is much more than wins and losses.

The life skills will take them great places and help guide them through their adult lives. With all that said, the Schreiber wrestling staff broke down a list of skills gained through the sport of wrestling and their Port Washington wrestling program.

1. Wrestling develops athleticism: Increased balance, strength, coordination and overall body awareness is fundamental in the sport of wrestling.

Year after year kids will start practice with gymnastics, calisthenics and activities that develop these skills. It provides a foundation of athleticism.

The skills you learn in wrestling are transferable to every other sport. You see many successful professional athletes with wrestling backgrounds.

2. Wrestling promotes personal responsibility: As an individual sport the only person responsible for success or failure is the individual themselves. Wrestling teaches self-awareness and how to be responsible for your actions. What you put in is what you get out.

3. Wrestling develops mental and emotional resilience, and shows kids that adversity is a challenge to get stronger: Wrestling is actually a sport that requires you to lose in order to win.

With this in mind, learning how to face and overcome adversity becomes the name of the game. There is no other way to simulate the real world experience of resilience while using adversity to make you stronger.

4. Wrestling develops leadership skills: Leadership is both verbal and nonverbal. A wrestling room has the ability to create an environment where

leaders emerge. You will quickly see young athletes push each other, teach each other, and support one another.

5. Wrestling teaches discipline and accountability: Discipline and accountability are requirements for achieving success in the sport of wrestling. There is literally no way to achieve ultimate success in the sport without choosing to do hard things even when you don’t want to. Athletes must hold themselves accountable for their own actions if they want to succeed.

6. Wrestling brings people together from all backgrounds and cultures: Wrestling is an international sport and doesn’t require anything to participate. People from all corners of the planet and from all different economic and social backgrounds can compete in the sport. Camaraderie: By definition this is a tailor-made byproduct of wrestling. You become a family with the teammates you spend so much time with.

they train, practice, and compete the more they will improve.

8. Wrestling is for every and anyone.

Wrestlers are all shapes and sizes: Let’s face it, some sports have a tendency towards a certain body type to be successful. Of course there are always exceptions, but we know this to be true. Wrestling provides the opportunity for all shapes, sizes and weights the opportunity to compete 7. Wrestling builds a belief-system and also succeed. It’s tough to see a that hard work pays off: smaller framed individual ride the Wrestling is the perfect sport to bench in another sport when they instill this belief system in a child.

Whether you’re youth, JV or technical skills. Every wrestler learns Varsity, you’re going to line up against from the very beginning that the more another opponent and get the chance

to compete.

10. Wrestling shows kids how to set short and long term goals: Every new wrestler starts at the bottom and has to work their way up.

In order to do this, goals are needed.

Setting and achieving goals is an important component of developing resilient people. Wrestling teaches children how to set short-term and long-term goals and celebrate the small victories along the way. In a society where kids are playing video games between school work, wrestlers also are taught time management skills in order to achieve these goals.

The fall pre-season wrestling meeting will take place Oct. 3 at 4:15 p.m. at The Pit/Turf Field Bleachers.

The meeting will be followed up by a community clean-up and team dinner for anyone that participates in the community service project. For questions, contact the Port Washington wrestling program by email or on one of their social media platforms.

Port Rowing Closes Season Nabbing Top Spots In National And State Championships

F

raught with the challenges that the pandemic brought, Port Rowing rose to the occasion to continue its program closing the 2021 season nabbing top spots in the National and State Championships and making team history.

“We had a much different season with restrictions and regatta uncertainty. Instead of the usual regatta slate we were able to get into some traditional dual racing instead for most of our schedule,” Coach Isa Rahman said. “This season we were able to make steady progress as a program and improve our rowing each week, culminating in some program firsts at

the State Invitational and sending the biggest Port Rowing Group to nationals so far.”

The New York State Invitational Regatta was the first major regatta for both squads since October 2019. Both Port Rowing teams had their most successful state championship in Port Rowing history with first place finishes on both sides. Port nabbed victories in the Boys’ 2nd Varsity 8+ and Junior 8+ as well as the Girls’ 2nd Varsity 8+ and Freshman 4+ both won their events. The team also had top finishes in the Varsity eight events with the girls finishing third and the boys finishing fourth.

After a successful State Championship, both teams traveled to Sarasota, FL for the US Rowing Youth National Championship Regatta.

Port brought its biggest contingent of athletes ever to a Youth National Championship with all boats making a final.

“For the first time ever at this event, the Port boys team raced a varsity eight the premiere event placing 26/35 in a very tight “D” final (just 7 seconds separated places 20-26),” Coach Mike MacMinn shared. “The pair placed a solid 18/31 in the “C” level final. And, a major historic benchmark for the program, the boys Under-17 quad placed

2/19. The quad sprinted through a crew from California in the final 100 meters to a photo finish to claim the silver medal by just two tenths of a second. This is the first ever medal for a Port boys crew at Youth Nationals and we don’t plan on slowing down.”

Indeed, Port Rowing’s 10th anniversary season is well underway. Coming off these victories, Port Rowing has just had four boats accepted to compete at the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston on Oct. 23 to 24.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR MORE VS. LESS FOR ZONING LAW CHANGES IN MANORHAVEN In a recent editorial section, Dan Garcia wrote a piece called, “When more means less” pertaining to the never-ending replacement of singlefamily homes with two-family homes and loss of parking in our village. Mr. Garcia “hit the nail right on the head” and I wish that he had run for office.

In May 16, 2019 during my four-year term as trustee from 2016-20, I submitted a “Proposal for Zoning Law Changes” for our village work session with copies going to everyone on our Board of Trustees that were never considered or addressed. I believed then as I still do now that it is time to make changes to our Zoning laws in Chapter 155 of our Village Code whereby we can still try to have a balance between our one-family and two-family homes by requiring 5000-square feet building lots for future two-family homes. By doing

so, hopefully we can preserve our enduring neighborhoods and also lessen the adverse results from future overbuilding that has been in existence for quite some time. According to longtime residents of our village, there was a 5000-square feet requirement for two-family homes that was eventually changed to 4000 square feet some years back. If you walk along Orchard Beach Boulevard, Sintsink Drive East, Sintsink Drive West or the hill bordering Ashwood Road and Sands Point Road, you will notice the tremendous amount of building that has occurred over past years. It is a sad commentary going back over the years, that past village administrations failed to address these conditions which sometimes seem like a domino effect (demolish a one-family and build a two-family).

I had proposed ancillary changes in

2017 where we suspended alternate side of the street parking in the winter months which allowed our residents a little reprieve with our parking problems and then I proposed a “Parking Sticker Permit 2-Year Pilot Program” that I believed would also benefit our residents. Unfortunately, our Board of Trustees decided to table my recommendation after a public hearing, however our new Board of Trustees should give this idea a lot of consideration. Over the past 50 years, many of our longtime residents have witnessed a major transition from one-family homes to two-family homes, apartment complexes and condominiums. All of this construction in our densely populated village over the years has created a sizable parking problem for our residents not to mention the current strain on our 60-year-old

sewer system and increasing student population in our Port Washington Public Schools. I made many efforts during my four years as trustee to help improve the living conditions in this village that I love. I enjoyed updating and rewriting many of our laws in the village code and sincerely believe that our Board of Trustees reexamine my changes I made to Chapter 155-12 Residential Districts, Chapter 155-13.1 Residential District (R-1) and Chapter 155-14 Residential District (R-2) regarding 5,000 squarefeet building lots for future two-family homes. I will provide copies of this recommendation and the aforementioned changes to Chapter 155 to our village clerk to disseminate to the trustees so as Garcia wrote, “It’s time new village leadership walks their talk.”

Board Passes On Cannabis Dispensaries

Road safety concerns in Marchant Park are also heard

BY RUDY MALCOM

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

A

lthough recreational marijuana was legalized in New York this spring, the Village of Roslyn Board of Trustees voted on Sept. 21 to ban the smoking and vaping of cannabis products on village-owned properties. Many municipalities across Nassau County have adopted similar laws.

The board also voted to opt out of establishing cannabis dispensaries and consumption sites. Village Attorney Johns Gibbons explained that towns and cities cannot opt out past Dec. 31, but retain the ability to decide to opt-in in the future.

Given that the state has yet to establish regulations for licensing cannabis distributors, Gibbons advised the board to “take a wait-and-see attitude.” Mayor John Durkin agreed with this approach, noting that it will be months before New Yorkers can buy or sell marijuana legally.

While the public made no comments about the cannabis laws, community members were vocal about reviewing signage in the Marchant Park section of Roslyn, citing safety risks.

Marc Magid, a resident of the area, said school bus drivers have parked unsafely on the neighborhood’s narrow streets for years.

“I’ve had numerous altercations with some of these drivers,” Lyssa Goldberg said. “It’s been really scary. I once almost called the police.”

According to Moez Mayourian, the drivers leave large amounts of trash around the neighborhood. In a presentation, he showed photographs of empty liquor bottles on lawns and in the street.

He reported a pattern of “unwelcoming, rude behavior” from drivers. Once, he asked a driver, who was speeding near children playing in the street, to slow down.

“His exact response was, ‘Next time, maybe I will run over your fat ass,’” Mayourian recalled.

Another time, he asked a driver not to park around a bend. The driver’s response, Mayourian said, was “go f**k yourself.”

Resident Moez Mayourian showed photos of trash in Marchant Park during his presentation to the board.

This summer, the village took down parking restrictions because the signage was too vague.

After the public hearing, the board voted to approve new signage that prohibits street parking between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m., with certain exceptions. The ban will not apply on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays, and parking is never allowed on bends in the road.

“As a traffic and transportation engineer, I care about safety,” Trustee Sarah Oral said.

Mayor Durkin also started a program to look into giving Marchant Park residents hang tags so that they can legally park outside their homes. Many residents expressed concerns that their visitors would be unable to do so.

“If I ask for 20 passes because I’m having a barbecue am I going to have an issue?” Shelly Irizarry asked.

While the details have yet to be ironed out, Jed Schlacter believes that “the hang tag is a key solution.”

“Everybody in Marchant Park is on the same page; we’re trying to figure out what helps everybody,” he said. “The discussion tonight was

extraordinarily helpful.”

The board also voted to approve Lumber Road Roslyn LLC’s application to amend the site plan for a residential rental apartment building. In October 2020, the board approved the applicant’s permit to construct a 33-unit, four-story building on 45 Lumber Rd. located in the Waterfront Development Overlay District.

“Enhancements were made because my client and his team... saw an opportunity to draw upon the traditional architecture and materials of the buildings on the waterfront, while upgrading the design to provide a fresh new look,” Anthony Guardino said, who is the lawyer representing Lumber Road Roslyn LLC. The building will have a rooftop terrace, three residential floors and one floor of amenities for tenants, including a gym, an entertainment center, a salon and barbershop, a library and office space. The applicant is also considering building a dock for tenants to launch kayaks or paddle boards.

“Our philosophy was to design a high-end luxury building using a

modern contemporary approach and also using brick to tie in a traditional material that complements the buildings in the area,” architect Bill Novak said.

However, Mayor Durkin worried that the building’s color palette would look disconnected from the rest of Roslyn.

“It’s a very handsome building, but I want to make sure it doesn’t compete with or detract from other buildings in the area,” he said. “I don’t want it sticking out like a sore thumb.”

Novak maintained that while the design does not use red brick, the building would still complement the streetscape.

“For us to change colors drastically,” he said, “would be an arduous task.”

Nevertheless, the application was approved. Guardino is confident that he and his client will be able to come to a resolution with Mayor Durkin. Trustee Craig Westergard, an architect, will continue to assist with the building design.

Board Votes To Draft Local Law Opting Out Of Cannabis Sales/Consumption

BY CAROLINE RYAN

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

fter holding two public hearings, the Village of Great Neck Plaza’s Board of Trustees unanimously voted to draft a local law which will allow the village to opt-out of adult-use cannabis retail dispensaries and on-site consumption licenses within the village.

The recently passed New York State law, the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA) provides for the legalization of adult-use cannabis possession (in certain specified quantities) for use by adults 21 years of age or older in accordance with the provisions of the state law. Under New York State legislation, cities, towns and villages can render their own decision regarding recreational cannabis 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.

The second of two public hearings was held on Sept. 21 in which residents were allowed to voice their opinions as to whether or not the village should consider opting into or out of the legislation.

One resident stated a few reasons why he felt the village should opt-in to the legislation.

“In my opinion, the village should allow a dispensary for the following reasons: One, it is a source of income for the village, as Mayor Rosen mentioned at the last meeting and just now, the village is expected to get between two and three percent income from sales, this money can be used to improve the village,” the resident said.

“Two, at the last meeting, a concerned mother voiced her opinion against allowing dispensaries saying it will be easier for teenagers to get drugs.

Unfortunately to all the concerned mothers, the reality is that it is easier to get drugs from the school backyard than in a legal dispensary on Middle Neck Road.”

Another resident stated why the village should opt-out of the legislation.

“This area around here, parking isn’t premium and we also have a lot of alleys that people could come and after they buy their joints walk out and smoke marijuana,” he said. “When these places close at night, what’s going to happen? You don’t think marijuana dealers will come around because they have young people that can’t be sold to and they also have

I think they are going to come around. That’s my opinion and that’s why I oppose—especially on-premise consumption. The police have told me that they are not ready to enforce the marijuana laws because they don’t have the equipment to test how high somebody actually is. This is not the marijuana of the ’60s. This is very high potency marijuana and that’s why I’m against it as a resident and as a property owner in Great Neck.”

During the Sept. 22 meeting and after listening to the public input at the previous two meetings, the village’s board of trustees held a discussion as to what decision they should make regarding this legislation.

“I think that the two meetings that we had were very productive,” Deputy Mayor Pamela Marksheid said. “We did get a variety of opinions both pro allowing a dispensary in our village and those who were against it. I think that they gave us a lot to think about.”

The meeting was then opened to comments from the public, to which no came up to speak. Mayor Ted Rosen then made the recommendation to the board that the village draft a local law which will allow them to opt-out of the legislation.

“The issue before us is really a narrow issue and that is whether or not these types of facilities—adult-use cannabis retail dispensaries and/ or on-site consumption licenses— whether these types of facilities one or the other or both will have a beneficial effect on the village, a negative effect

on the village or no effect,” Mayor Rosen said. “At this point, I feel that we are really in the dark because we don’t have experience with this in our village. No one in the state has experience with this. We just don’t know.

Some people who have strong opinions that this would be beneficial for the downtown and an equal number of people, perhaps more, said it would not be. I think the most conservative and prudent approach that this village could take is to opt-out.”

Mayor Rosen explained that by opting out the village will have the opportunity to see what other communities and villages are experiencing with their decision to opt-in and would then be able to make a decision to opt in at a later time, if they chose to do so.

“If we don’t not opt-out now, we cannot opt-in later,” Rosen said.

Deputy Mayor Marksheid was in agreement, stating, “We don’t know

how it’s going to work. If we opt-in then we’re stuck, that is the bottom line. If we wait and see if it’s successful [in other areas] without any issues, in a year, if it’s successful then we can opt-in. But if we opt-in first we are stuck with that decision.”

Other board members also agreed with the decision to opt-out.

The board voted unanimously to draft a local law to opt-out of allowing adult-use cannabis retail dispensaries and on-site consumption licenses from operating within the village. The next Board of Trustees meeting will be held on Oct. 6 at 7 p.m., in which the village board will likely vote on the proposed local law.

ounded in 1998, the Levittown Community Council has been serving the communities that make up the Levittown and Island Trees school districts with a variety of signature events designed to entertain and reward individuals, organizations and businesses.

All of the council’s signature events are free to the public and supported by members’ dues, which are $10 for individuals, $15 for families and $50 for businesses and organizations. The membership year runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30.

Checks should be made payable to Levittown Community Council and mailed to PO Box 294, Levittown, NY 11756.

Holidays in December. The events have become Levittown highlights and are well attended. Visit the Council’s Facebook page at https:// www.facebook.com/ LevittownCommunityCouncil Inc/ to find out more information about its activities.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, WinterFest was not held in 2021, but is being planned for Saturday, Feb. 26 of 2022. Because it was held outdoors, the Earth Day cleanup event in April 2021 attracted more than 100 people,

who turned out to spruce up areas throughout the town.

Lazy Days of Summer was held outdoors in July 2021 and though many of its usual events were curtailed, the event was well attended and enjoyed by all.

In recent years, the organization added additional events that have been well received by the community. In September, the council honors a high school student, nominated by a member organization or business, who contributes to that entity through their

In addition, the council participates each year with the Levittown Fire Department’s Open House, the Levittown School District’s LEADD Fair, the Levittown School District’s Holiday gift giving and each month publishes a calendar of community events and activities that reaches a large segment of the community.

Volunteers are always welcomed and all residents can attend the council’s general meetings.

Included in the mission of the Levittown Community Council is its goal to maintain Levittown unity and pride and encourage a positive identity for the community by furnishing a forum for exchange of ideas and the free flow of information for the betterment of the community.

Hicksville Water District Begins Fall Flushing On Sept. 26 Vital maintenance practice concludes on Oct. 1

The Hicksville Water District (HWD) will be flushing water mains throughout its service area as a part of its regular Distribution System Maintenance Program starting on Sept. 26 and going through Oct. 1 between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. The flushing will be focused in the southeast section of the district service area, between Jerusalem Avenue and South Oyster Bay Road and South of Old Country Road.

Residents should remember that their water is absolutely safe to drink during this period.

“Flushing our water mains is an important maintenance practice that we perform at the district,” HWD Chairman Karl Schweitzer said. “It helps us remove harmless deposits of sediment that have built up in our water mains over time to ensure our water remains of the highest quality. While flushing is underway, residents may experience pressure

variations as well as temporary instances of discolored water, but please note that the water always remains safe to drink.”

This maintenance program is designed to remove any accumulation of dissolved materials which may have settled in the water mains. Slight water pressure variations or discolored water conditions may occur, and water uses such as laundering of clothes may be affected due to coloration of water. If the water in your home does become discolored, it can be solved quickly by running your cold-water faucets until the water clears up. The flushing program is also important because it provides an opportunity for the district to check for leaks, test water pressure, determine the water’s pH level and color and make exact calculations on rates of water flow.

eptember is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and The Sarah Grace Foundation for Children With Cancer, Inc. is ensuring that everyone knows how they can support their mission and these children this year.

As an all-volunteer charity, the foundation has worked with thousands of children and their families over the last 18 years, providing numerous programs in an effort to help combat the struggles of this horrific disease.

“Every year, over 4,000 children die from cancer,” Foundation Executive Director Matt Weippert said. “Roughly 46 children are diagnosed every day. We are all too familiar with their pain and their struggle and we’re committed to doing all we can to improve their lives even a little bit.”

A gold ribbon is the worldwide symbol of childhood cancer awareness and all the members of the foundation are asking that as many people as possible “Go Gold For Our Children” this year and wear a ribbon at some point during the month of September. For just a $10 donation, you can order your own ribbon on the foundation website. Your donation directly supports the programs the foundation runs to support children and their families, such as their hospital Book Carts and toys for families during the holiday season.

The foundation is currently in the process of their Sizzling Summer Bake-LESS Cake Sale, where you can make a donation for the price of a traditional bake sale purchase. This year, in lieu of their standard backpacks filled with school supplies, the Foundation supplied families with gift cards to stores such as Target and Staples so they could purchase the back to school supplies they needed. Over the last year, they have also continued to support families with rent and grocery expenses, while partnering with the New York Mets to supply local hospitals with tickets to various Mets

he historic Old Bethpage Village Restoration, with homes and barns dating back to the 18th century, is getting a new makeover for the Halloween season with The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze, a show that incorporates more than 7,000 jack o’lanterns carved by a small team of local artists.

“Tomorrow is the first day of fall for [2021], so we are kicking off the season with this legendary event” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said during a Sept. 21 press conference at the restoration. “This is the most

elaborate Halloween event in our region and we’re really proud to be hosting it here, right here at Old Bethpage.”

This is the second year that the Jack O’Lantern Blaze, a production of non-profit Historic Hudson Valley, will light up the county. With much popular demand during last year’s show, this year’s show will run for 36 selected evenings. It began on Sept. 22 and it will run through Nov. 7. The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze originally began 17 years ago in the Hudson Valley at Van Corlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson.

But the show does not just feature a grand collection of jack o’lanterns; as

sculptures, such as an 80-foot circus train and a sea monster, are part of the Halloween-themed display. A team of artists, light designers and carpenters brought this instillation together. “It’s a real team effort,” Curran said. “There’s a lot that goes into it.”

Waddell W. Stillman said that the 80-foot circus train is an ode to 146 year run of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus at the nearby Nassau Coliseum, where the circus chose to close out its decades-long run.

“We have created site-specific installations that celebrate the history and culture of the region,” Stillman said.

“There’s also a new, huge pumpkin planetarium complete with a sound and light show and it’s a feast for all senses. There’s a brand new light show that takes over the facade of Hewlett House from 1795, which was built by Charles Hewlett, who belonged to a branch of the colonial family that remained loyal to the crown during the American Revolution.”

Returning favorites include displays depicting the Montauk Lighthouse and a tribute to Bethpage’s first responders.

And the event is extra safe for the second pandemic-era Halloween, as it’s an outdoor, touch-free attraction.

New Season-Time to Look and Feel Better Fall can be a very exciting time, with the season changing, the weather cooling and the holidays looming ahead. It is also the perfect time to think about how you can finally deliver on your commitment to doing something for yourself.

Back to the gym, back to the diet, the new season brings with it the impetus to look better and feel better.

Utilizing only the latest and most advanced surgical approach, your recovery is fast and the sooner you act, the sooner you’ll look fantastic. Get ready for your winter vacation or spruce up for the holidays with SmartLipo MPX®, the most advanced technique in liposuction available.

This technology is light years ahead of competing liposuction systems with less bruising and a shorter recovery time. If you have been considering a Tummy Tuck postpregnancy or weight loss, this procedure will have you in great shape in a very short period of time and you can show off that terrific figure at the upcoming holiday parties.

It is often a combination of services that produces the best result, many times including breast augmentation, breast lift or breast reduction, with the appropriate procedure determined by each individual’s

body. Several packages are designed to address your specific needs. Ultimate Breasts includes breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction – separately or in combination-for the most beautiful, natural looking results.

If childbirth has made some changes to your body that you would like to correct, the Mommy Makeover package provides the right combination of tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift or implants as well as cellulite treatments to transform you from “new mom” to “hot mom.” About Face turns back the hands of time with the appropriate combination of facelift, eyelid lift, rhinoplasty, chin reshaping and more.

If this isn’t the time for a surgical procedure, a Liquid Facelift requires just 20 minutes to restore and contour the cheeks, eyes, jawline and lips to refresh and rejuvenate the face. My cutting-edge device Morpheus8 remodels collagen on the face and body to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin tone, texture and laxity for a more youthful appearance.

Now that the kids are back in school, this is the perfect time to have the cosmetic procedure or treatment that you’ve always wanted and start on the path to a younger looking you!

n the recently completed esplanade complementing RXR Realty’s Harbor Landing and The Beacon at Garvies Point, politicians and activists gathered to advocate for walking and biking instead of driving on Sept. 22.

While Long Island has always been known as a place that a car is a necessity, many are working to provide Long Islanders with alternate modes of transportation, whether it’s via the NICE Bus or bike trails. Car Free Day Long Island, which fell on Sept. 22, asks people to make the pledge to go car free, or car lite, for a chance to win prizes and improve their, and the environment’s health.

“We got a lot going on, we also just kicked off our shared mobility study to study how people are getting around now after the pandemic,” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said.

“We just did a survey and 5,000 people replied, so we’re going to use the data to see what’s a better way to invest our money for transportation.”

In Glen Cove, a new, popular mode of transportation is a pair of feet or wheels on the new esplanade that connects Garvies Point to a scenic trail, parks and the business district in the downtown area. In fact, the executive director of the Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District, Patricia Holman, just released a video that depicts how Glen Cove residents can get to their favorite downtown restaurants from their neighborhoods, the Long Island Rail Road station or the popular Deep Roots Farmers Market that takes place in Garvies Point on Saturdays.

“I am very proud to be here to celebrate Car Free Day Long Island with a walk through our new esplanade,” City of Glen Cove Mayor Tim Tenke said.

“This is a wonderful, new area that’s dedicated for pedestrians... as well as people who want to take their pets to the beautiful dog park that’s over here.

There’s a lot to do and this goes all the way to downtown, our center of town, all the way to the point here.”

The esplanade, completed in the spring, features seating with power outlets, a view of the New Rochelle skyline, a wetlands pier that will be used for educational purposes, the yet to be opened ferry and access to the Garvies Point Brewery and other local restaurants. On the afternoon of Sept.

22, many were taking advantage of the esplanade by going for brisk walks or walking their four-legged friends.

“It’s beautiful to see people out, enjoying the beautiful esplanade,” Glen Cove City Councilman Gaitley Stevenson-Mathews said. “The fact that we are linking this entire

Shah said seniors told him of the improvements in the quality of life that the routines brought about. Before the program, certain seniors would be scared to make a trip to a place like ShopRite out of fear of not having the strength to go up and down the aisles. As each session passed though, that became the case less and less.

“It felt really good because I was able to bring help to a lot of seniors living there,” Shah said.

As the summer concluded, he received a call one Thursday that he was being honored by the community with a luncheon. He said the ceremony left an impact on him, and he cried tears of gratitude in his car after he left the luncheon that day.

“It was a great honor of meeting those seniors there,” he said. “For me to give back to the seniors and the community, it’s heart-touching.”

For Shah, the work was gratifying and it showed him how he could pass on the lessons learned through this experience to his children. He also felt like he was returning the favor as a younger person to the seniors who served in the military before his time.

“It motivates me to do good for the community,” he said about his experience.

Shah has already planned out working with the community next summer to keep up the program and help more senior citizens recover from injuries and build body strength so that they can get back to living life as normal as possible.

e dove in head-first, and he came up from under the water helping others.

Plainview resident and cardiologist at Paragon health network Ken Shah was recognized at a luncheon on Sept. 16 for his work in creating a summer aquatic rehabilitation program from the ground up for low-income senior citizens in Melville that improved the quality of life for those living in the residency.

For Shah, the program was much more than creating exercise routines. Rather, it was a way for him to give back to the community.

“By using aquatic therapy, I was able to bring about change,” Shah said about the summer program.

Shah is no stranger to starting a program such at this. He works as Senior Coordinator for the Cardiopulmonary program for Paragon Health Network and is based at Excel at Woodbury for Rehabilitation and Nursing. He developed a specialty in aquatic therapy around 2015 when he was offered by his company to take continuing education classes. After the classes, he began to develop water-based exercise programs while working in the outpatient department.

This year, he was asked by Paragon’s community liasion what he could do to keep senior citizens active. Shah decided start a program over the summer for the senior citizens in Melville. Adapting his already-established exercise rountines, he began teaching classes on Thursdays throughout the summer.

On hot summer days, Shah and the participants were able to cool off as he led residents through different exercises in each session: Stretching, breathing, Pilates or strength depending on the day.

“By using aquatic therapy, it makes them become a lot stronger,” and improves daily living, Shah said.

Over the summer, he created a bond with those he taught and had regulars coming back each Thursday. His goal was to teach these residents the exercises they needed to get back on their feet and keep up with the program on their own. The weekly session became so popular that people waited in line outside the pool facility in hopes of being one of the 25 people that secured a spot for each lesson.

Sea Cliff School Garden Farm To Table Dinner

O

n the evening of Sept. 17, the Sea Cliff School PCA Garden was transformed into a magical space which could easily have competed with any five-star restaurant.

In a celebration of a wonderfully rich and plentiful garden, diners were treated to a 4-course meal prepared by star chefs, who also happen to be local Sea Cliff School parents. The menu was amazing and the outdoor space was dreamy. With string lights and beautiful views of the luscious vegetable and herb garden, it was difficult to remember diners were on the school’s blacktop. Tea lights (battery operated), flowers (donated by Baron Floral Designs) and herbs decorated the tables.

Resource Room Teacher Mojdeh Hassani has become the school’s liaison to the garden, helping to run the garden club and summer program and serving on the Garden’s Advisory Board. This beautiful night was Hassani’s vision and she made it a success.

“It was such a fun event,” Hassani said. “I enjoyed every minute of it, I am delighted for everyone to see how extraordinary the garden is.”

No detail was left to chance, and Hassani enlisted the help of her colleagues to serve as wait staff and mocktail servers. Teachers David Schultz, Lauren Kottler, Megan McCormack, Jodie Larson, Lindsay Feibus, Amelia Hecker and Nina Becker all did a phenomenal job ensuring the night went off without a hitch.

In addition, none of it would have been possible without the constant support and encouragement of the tirelessly dedicated principal, Jeanette Wojcik.

The incredible chefs who donated their valuable time and expertise to this dinner created a menu on par with a Michelin rated restaurant. French Culinary Institute trained Chef Maggie Odell, who is also a culinary instructor, created and prepared an Ajo Blanco amuse-bouche that was a delectable soup of garlic grown by Sea Cliff School students last school year and harvested during the summer program. Next, Odell devised a gorgeous salad, which included lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and green beans from the garden.

Also, French Culinary Institute trained, acclaimed chef Jason Potter, from Blue Ribbon restaurants and most recently, proprietor of the Sea Cliff Beach Cliffside Cafe, created the next two divine courses. Using the Long Island Cheese Pumpkins that are growing along the Franklin Avenue fence of the garden, Potter made a Pumpkin Raviolo with sage-infused butter that melted on diner’s tongues.

Jericho Cider Mill Pressing Onto Bicentennial Celebration

BY TIM SEEBERGER

tseeberger@antonmediagroup.com

G

oing into its 201st year of operation, the Jericho Cider Mill had to make the tough decision to cancel its bicenntennial celebration last year due to the pandemic. Now, owner Ted Ketsoglou and the entire mill will be celebrating the momentous milestone retroactively after getting through the peak of COVID. “To be part of a 200-year celebration is something that words can’t describe,” Ketsoglou said. “The opportunity to be a part of it is special.”

During the peak of the pandemic, he said that it was a treat for shoppers to snack on apple cider donuts and pies.

And the mill has no problem keeping up with demand.

During the holiday season - September, October and November - Jericho Cider Mill will produce 1,800 gallons a day of its famous cider, 12,000 pies during Thanksgiving week alone, and 5,000 to 6,000 apple cider donuts.

Before customers even enter into the shop, the sweet smell of pies, donuts and cider wafts in the air.

Ketsoglou said the mill’s pies are so well-known because the recipe hasn’t changed since their introduction in 1962. Since then, the ingredients have been all-natural with no preservatives, and the pies have always been made on-site.

The mill introduced its apple cider donuts in 2017 using a unique way to make the sweet confections. The donuts are baked rather than fried and soaked in apple cider before they’re made. Beyond being sold in its rustic shop, the donuts are distributed in stores throughout Nassau County. Different homemade products, like jams, butters, ice cream and frozen apple cider can also be picked up in the store.

As for the cider that made Jericho Cider Mill so famous, the process starts with New

(Photos by Tim Seeberger) York State apples from the Hudson Valley, the way it’s been since the mill started making cider in 1820. The apples are brought in on a conveyor belt, washed and brought up to the second floor of the facility. The apples are crushed and the pulp gets dropped into a 1961 wine press. From there, the juices are squeezed out of the pulp, pasteurized and bottled.

Though production stayed up during the pandemic, Ketsoglou said the prices of goods and workers in the facility became a difficult roadblock.

He said the prices of flour went up 40 percent, and the cost of jugs and plastic went up by 30 percent to 40 percent.

He also said the mill was having difficulty finding people to work during the pandemic.

Despite this, Ketsoglou said, the mill tried to maintain its prices and said the mill did well during the pandemic.

The Jericho Cider Mill was founded in the 1800s in a three-story barn. Ketsoglou said that although the exact date and year isn’t known, bottles of cider were found dating back to 1840, so he and past owners figured the mill started in 1820. It’s one of the oldest businesses in Nassau County.

In digging around the attic of the mill, Ketsoglou said he realized something interesting

about the lineage of owners of the business in reading old articles published in local papers: they all belonged to the Jericho Fire Department.

Members of the Zakofsky family, a lineage of owners of the mill, all were a part of the fire department. John Zakofsky even started the Jericho Fire Department.

Technically, the cider mill has now been around for 201 years, but celebrating the 200th year of existence last year wasn’t possible because of COVID. But that doesn’t mean the mill will skip the party this time around.

The outdoor celebration, slated for Oct. 16, will feature

As part of the juicing process, the cider is pressed out of the ground-up pulp, put through a wine press, pasteurized and then bottled up. local and state government officials to present proclamations to honor the tradition of the production of the all-natural, no-preservative cider.

“It’s great that they’re honoring the Jericho Cider Mill,” said Ketsoglou. “It’s a tradition of producing the best cider in this region.”

Through COVID, Ketsoglou said it’s been able to still talk

with shoppers like he has for the past six years as owner.

“It’s an incredible feeling to stand outside to greet people and talk to them about the memories they’ve had for generations,” he said.

Back To School Safety Series:

Stranger Danger T

his is the final part of the four-part series of articles by the Garden City Police Department addressing Back-to-School Safety Issues. In the previous three newspaper articles, we addressed safe driving practices, school bus safety and pedestrian/bicyclist safety. Parents, grandparents, guardians and teachers are encouraged to use this article to help teach their children about Stranger Danger.

It is very important to explain to children that strangers can look like normal people, not monsters. A stranger is someone that you do not know very well or do not know at all.

Experts recommend that parents or guardians role play with their children about just how someone might approach them such as, offering candy, asking for help, or if they’d like to come and meet their new puppy.

You should teach your child to give a firm “NO” and walk away. When you role-play with your children, keep it matter of fact and calm so you do not overly frighten them. Part of protecting children is not just pointing out dangers but also teaching them confidence; this will help them to make good decisions in bad situations.

Teach your children to trust their own instincts. They should trust that feeling in their gut that tells them if something is safe or not. You can describe it like the feeling in your tummy that gives you butterflies if something is not right.

• Never approach a vehicle of someone asking directions, adults do not need directions from children.

• There is safety in numbers, whenever possible do not walk alone.

• Carry your cell phone for use in emergencies.

• Never accept rides from strangers.

• Parents develop a secret password that only your family knows. Tell your kids that they should never go with anyone unless they know the secret password. Make sure to tell your children that they should never share this secret password with anyone.

• If you think someone is following you, go to the nearest business or residence for help.

• If occupants of a vehicle are harassing you, you should turn around and walk in the opposite direction. The driver will have to turn around or back up to follow you.

• When you are approaching your home, have your door key ready so you can enter your house immediately.

• Teach your children if someone attempts to take or grab them, they should fall to the ground and start screaming and kicking, bite if necessary; do whatever it takes to be safe. They should make as much noise as possible and create as much diversion as possible so they draw the attention of other people who may be in the area.

If you think something is out of the ordinary, report it to the police as soon as possible. Do not wait until it is too late. Information that will help the Police include: • The vehicle’s license plate number, make/model, color, and unusual markings or damage.

• Description of the subject including gender, race, approximate age, weight, and height.

• A description of the subject’s clothing including hats, jewelry, and glasses.

• Length and color of subject’s hair, and any unusual marks, scars, or tattoos.

• Last direction of travel of subject; either on foot or traveling by vehicle.

Strangers often use the Internet to prey on their victims. Keep home computers in a busy area of the house.

Children should never give out their name, address, phone number or school name and never

arrange face-to-face meetings with anyone they meet online. They should never go into chat rooms unless their parents say it is okay. They should never open emails from someone they do not know and never go to links they do not recognize. Children should always tell an adult if they see something on the Internet that makes them feel uncomfortable.

The Garden City Police Department encourages everyone to take advantage of these safety tips and the others covered in the three previous articles.

If you missed any of the previous articles, you can find them on the department’s website www.gardencitypolice.net/. The police department wishes everyone a safe and healthy school year.

FROM THE COUNTY SEAT

Curran Unveils Renderings Of $2 Million+ Makeover Of Mitchel Field Gym

N

assau County Executive Laura Curran was recently joined by veterans and active-duty military that reside at the Mitchel Field Veteran Housing Community, Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder and others to officially hand over keys to Mitchel Field’s Navy Gym to NY Youth Sports Network (NYYSN), the property’s new tenant. NYYSN, a nonprofit that specializes in the advancement and development of children through sports, particularly in disadvantaged communities, has committed to operating and transforming the underutilized gym, which adjoins the county’s veteran housing community in Uniondale.

The County Executive and NYYSN unveiled the gym’s new name: “The MAC,” which stands for Mitchel Athletic Center, as well as renderings of the property’s planned $2 million makeover—coming at no cost to the county. In addition, NYYSN outlined sports programming for local youth as well as opportunities for veterans and families that live at Mitchel Field, as part of the agreement with the county.

“With this much-needed transformation, we are continuing three important commitments: get neglected county infrastructure in top-notch condition, enhance services for veterans and youth, and keep county finances in check,” County Executive Laura Curran said. “I am confident NY Youth Sports will create an exciting community hub and provide quality opportunities for not only the military families that live at Mitchel Field, but for Nassau’s many aspiring youth athletes, particularly in underserved communities.”

Commissioner Ryder added, “Today’s announcement of funding to refurbish the Mitchell Field Gym is a win-win for many. Upon completion of this project, it will present vast opportunities for at-risk children to work together with law enforcement within their neighborhoods. This will strengthen ties, build lasting relationships, keep our communities strong and will enhance our 40,000 students that are already enrolled in our departments’ PAL program.”

Thomas Rossi, who is the managing director of NY Youth Sports Network, said they’re excited to develop a stateof-the-art multi-sport facility in Nassau.

“Our shared vision with County Executive Curran will provide adolescents and young adults a safe environment to participate in a variety of youth sports programs and the opportunity to make friendships and create lasting memories,” he said.

Renovations & Contract Details: NYYSN’s commitment includes upgrades to the existing gym, as well as construction of a new field house for additional basketball and classrooms, as well as a separate indoor turf field. The property’s transformation will come at no cost to the county and is expected to be complete within 12 months of securing the keys. The new tenant, NYYSN, will pay the county $100,000 annually and will have the option to extend their 15-year lease an additional five years.

The county will also share in naming rights and sponsorship opportunities with the tenants.

Opportunities for Mitchel Field Residents: As part of the agreement, the Curran Administration ensured tangible

benefits and job opportunities for the veterans and families that reside on property. Some of those benefits include free use of gym facilities (select hours), free week of summer camp for children under 14, free registration for all in-house leagues for residents under 16, and sports scholarship opportunities for eligible youth athletes.

NYYSN Programming: NYYSN has also committed to using the premises to serve as a hub for their AAU Urban Initiative. Through a variety of programming, the AAU Urban Initiative seeks to develop healthy relationships between local law enforcement and at-risk youth in

underserved and minority communities through sports. The initiative has been embraced by the Nassau County Police Department which actively participates in a variety of similar programs with local youth.

“This initiative aligns perfectly with the county’s broader efforts to build relationships and trust with our dedicated law enforcement and children in the communities they serve,” Curran said.

In addition to providing their own slate of sports programming, NYYSN will continue to provide permits for outside groups to use the property.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR THE MANHASSET COMMUNITY FUND KICKS OFF ITS FALL DRIVE IN SUPPORT OF LOCAL CHARITIES Have you been challenged these past couple years in ways you never imagined?

I know I have. And I keep hearing from our grant recipients that life continues to be tough, especially related to health, income, and social isolation.

Our work in Manhasset continues in the midst of

everything we are going through. We are not taking a break. Sometimes during my own social isolation (does Zoom count as a real connection?) I forget about people struggling nearby. It’s easy to disconnect. The daily negative news doesn’t help.

That’s why the Manhasset Community Fund is there on

everyone’s behalf: we step up to the plate to reach people in their time of struggle. Our goal is to provide funds that make programs possible that are proven to address the special needs of our community. Please walk with us in our ongoing quest. You are needed.

All donations are targeted

to help people in zip code 11030. Donate online at www. manhasssetcommunityfund. org. All donations are tax deductible. The board keeps overhead low by being a 100 percent volunteer staff.

SUPPORTING AN EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT My name is James Egan and I am a Life Scout in Troop 243, sponsored by St. Joseph’s Parish in Garden City. I am writing to ask for help in funding my Eagle Scout Project.

My project beneficiary is Garvies Point Museum and Preserve in Glen Cove. My service project is to replace an existing unusable single composting bin that is in disrepair with a new larger

three-bin composting system.

The composting system will be actively used by the museum to create compost for museum plantings and gardens.

If you would like to donate

to my Eagle Scout Project, you may send a check payable to Troop 243 to James Egan, 89 Kingsbury Rd., Garden City, NY 11530. Thank you for your support.

Whenever she loses something important, she prays to Saint Anthony, the Patron Saint of lost items. Out of the 10,000 or so people identified as Saints since the Apostles’ days, somehow Saint Anthony of Padua got the job of helping find lost items. Back in the 12th Century, Anthony had a book of Psalms that was missing and presumed stolen. Not sure who he prayed to, but the book was Paul DiSclafani returned to him after saying a pdisco23@aol.com prayer. Because of that, he got the gig.

After my mother lost her Life Alert pendant a few months ago, she spent a few days searching without any luck. She prayed to Saint Anthony and found it later in the day. Recently, she misplaced the same pendant.

This time she went right to Saint Anthony that night but still had no luck.

“Maybe he put you at the bottom of the list,” I told her, “Because he already helped you find it once before?”

Sure enough, she found it the following afternoon.

Apparently, you can’t joke about Saint Anthony.

Who Needs Superstitions When You Have Saints?

In this column, a few weeks ago, we discussed friggatriskaidekaphobia, the fear of Friday the 13th. We also touched on superstitions and other seemingly irrational habits that people live their life by.

As a sports fan, I know many ballplayers are superstitious about what they eat before a game or make sure they wear the same underwear when on a hot streak. Often, I’ll sit in the same chair while the Mets are doing well and conversely, if things aren’t working out, I’ll go into a different room and watch on another TV. Ridiculous, you say?

Well, that’s exactly what my mother thought.

While at my house after dinner the other day, we were sitting in the kitchen watching the Mets game. The Mets were in the middle of a big inning and had already scored two runs and still had the bases loaded when the Nationals changed their pitcher. I mentioned that I had to go to the bathroom, but I couldn’t leave just yet.

“Why not,” she said innocently.

When I told her I didn’t want to jinx the Mets, she said, “Are you crazy? Go to the bathroom.

The game will still be here when you get back.”

So, I left. By the time I got back, the inning was over and the Mets had failed to score any

you to the hospital. I was sitting in the kitchen crying when our landlady called me to tell me something came for me in the mail.

“I opened a small cardboard tube from a charity. Back then, I never donated money to charities. It contained a picture of The Sacred Heart. I put my hand over the heart and said a prayer. The next thing I knew, you were awake and your temperature had dropped to 101. That picture of The Sacred Heart has been on my bedroom wall ever since.”

To be honest, I don’t see much difference between religious beliefs and superstitions. I’ve had enough instances in my life where when following seemingly irrational superstitions have worked out.

Of course, they don’t work all the time, no matter how deep your beliefs are. Why would believing in prayer be any different than believing in a lucky chair?

“When I’m gone,” she told me, “I don’t care what you do with anything else. I just want you to keep that picture of The Sacred Heart.”

You know what? There’s no reason not to.

Prohibition Rum Running On Long Island The fisherman turned smuggler, put a flame to his cigarette and looked out at the line of ships miles off in the Atlantic. The smoke floats across the full moon, settling his nerves. The payment for his haul had already been negotiated. He knew that tactic was used by mob bosses trying to reduce the risk of a hijack. The man had been given half of a two- dollar bill to match up with the other half aboard the supply ship as proof the liquor was going to the right boat. Tossing the cigarette to the ground, he fired up the 300 horsepower Liberty motors and heads out to Long Island’s Rum Row. Arriving, he loads the haul of champagne and rum from the man carrying enough fire power to kill five people. He returns to the Montauk shore, where the haul is unloaded onto trucks. High-end smuggling was steeped in danger. His bay house containing 100 crates of liquor, sat armed and ready for any competition attempting to steal or screw with his lucrative operation.

Smuggling, and the wild flurry to distribute “demon rum,” started with The Volstead Act enacted to provide enforcement for the 18th Amendment, which lasted from January 17,1920 until its repeal on December 5, 1933. Long Island sat in the thick of illegal activity with its proximity to New York City, the largest market for illegal booze.

But speakeasies still enjoyed protection from authorities. For Claudio’s in Greenport, bribing enforcement officials gave them a heads-up on scheduled raids and enabled them to protect the smugglers that docked under the restaurant, unloading liquor through trap doors. In Riverhead, J.J. Sullivan’s hotel had their speakeasy regularly attended and thereby protected by members of the crooked political power of Tammany Hall.

Prohibition ended in 1933 due to the overwhelming activity of crime that resulted in tens of thousands of deaths. Also, Prohibition became an unenforceable policy. Many local smugglers ironically ended up on the legal side of liquor distribution.

Gangsters and the Mafia gained the title of “organized crime” after controlling the business end of bootlegging during Prohibition.

themselves a place in the playoffs and advancing to the semi-finals in their division before ultimately losing. The actions of two men coming together for the greater good of the baseball community and the children resonated with Diane Herbert, whose son William plays on the team.

“As we shared this experience together, we stopped frequently and reminded ourselves that this trip was possible because of two Daler men, Chris Horowitz and Paul Quinn, who volunteered almost a full year of their time to make this experience happen,” she said. “Neither of these men has sons on this team. And one of them

had the heartbreak of not being able to experience this tournament with his own son last year during COVID-19.

Chris and Paul did not just give up a few hours on a random day, but have spent several hundred hours coaching our boys throughout the spring and summer, taking time out of their weekdays and weekends to practice and be on the field with our boys in all weather conditions. They planned and ordered special keepsakes to make their memories even better and took care of all of the annoying administrative tasks that come with a tremendous trip like Cooperstown. They helped our boys and families organize fundraisers to minimize the financial burden and were non-stop enthusiasts from the moment this journey started until now.

Eleven Daler baseball players and their families will return to Farmingdale soon with memories that are forever etched in our hearts thanks to Chris Horowitz and Paul Quinn.”

It’s a sentiment echoed by league president Joann Vazquez.

“What these men have done for these boys and our organization is a perfect example of two men paying it forward. I could not be more proud of them both,” she said.

What motivated you to come back from this injury?

Multiple things motivated me to come back. Certainly the overwhelming love and support I got from my friends and family helped me. I think most of all was that our team had unfinished business. After watching the games at the end of last

Seventh Squad Detectives report the arrest of two Levittown men on Sept. 16 at 7 a.m. in Wantagh.

According to detectives, Nassau County Marine Bureau Officers were assigned to Marine One, which was docked at Wantagh Park Marina.

Officers noticed a black Honda SUV with garbage scattered all around it.

They also noticed a male slumped over the steering wheel with his eyes closed while the car was running. Officers proceeded to perform a welfare check on the driver and attempted to contact the two occupants of the vehicle.

While the officers tried to awake the male seated in the driver seat, the passenger of the car became very combative. He refused to comply with lawful commands and continuously made attempts to remove items from the car. Officers then discovered the black Honda SUV was stolen. Upon further investigation the two subjects were discovered to be in possession of controlled substances and multiple stolen credit cards. Following a thorough investigation along with the evidence and information the officers were able to gather, it was determined that the two defendants, 19-yearp-old Andrew Franzo and 21-year-old Nicolas Bocci, were responsible for multiple larcenies

In Memory of

Rosemary Rita Zito Molinaro May 5, 1921 - August 25, 2021

Rosemary Rita Zito Molinaro passed away at home in Kings Point, NY on August 25, 2021, after 100 years of gracing this Earth with her loving heart and beauty, winning smile and smart, inquisitive mind. Her strong-willed optimism of “I can, I will, I must” was matched by her unconditional love of her family.

She reveled in motherhood and loved children, gave selflessly as a devoted wife to Albert, mother to Lorraine M. Molinaro and Valerie A. Molinaro, also of Kings Point, and grandmother to Michelle Birnbach Katz, while also welcoming her son-in-law Howard and grandson-in-law Danny into the family.

Children naturally gravitated to her, and she found gratification as a volunteer at the Head Start program in the City of Peekskill school system and as a substitute teacher at Church of the Assumption, Peekskill, as well as a volunteer at The Field Library, Peekskill.

Born on May 5, 1921, in the Bronx, she graduated from Evander Childs High School in 1939 with honors and went on to business school to learn Gregg Shorthand stenography. She started out as a bookkeeper at The Fireside Inn, Manhattan, preceded each work day by Mass, and then was in customer service and various other roles at Macy’s, while she waited patiently for her husband to return from Army service overseas during World War II. She was a gifted writer of poetry and prose, loved books, libraries, birds and trees and would arise at dawn to search in philosophy, religion and medical books for answers to the question “why?”

Rosemary was very civic-minded, always wondering why civics was no longer taught in schools, was active in local community matters, including as a volunteer for The American Cancer Society 1960s door-to-door study, and found time to take college courses at Fordham University.

She was a proud government employee in the late State Senator Frank Padavan’s Office, the Queens District Attorney’s Office and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, from which she retired, and she always had an American flag displayed in her home, whether in The Bronx, Peekskill, Albany, Oakland Gardens or Kings Point.

Her unconditional love and tireless care were served with a cup of tea which “made everything better”, healing many wounds.

She was interred in a private service with the assistance of Fairchild Sons, Inc. Funeral Chapel at Nassau Knolls Cemetery in Port Washington, New York, under a cherry tree with chimes playing from the bell tower.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances made with the donation of a favorite book in her name at a local library would bring a smile from Heaven.

Thomas Crombie Thomas (Ikemoto) Crombie, aged 92, of Naples, FL, formerly of Manhasset, NY, went to be with his Lord on Sunday, September 11, 2021. Born on April 5, 1929 to Ella Crombie and George Ikemoto, Tom grew up in Hamilton, Ontario.

At the age of 15,he furtively enlisted in the US Army as a Canadian citizen, proudly serving in active duty in the Pacific until he was 17. During World War II, the US Military made it a priority to provide ice cream to the troops, and Tom quickly became a master ice cream maker, fulfilling his comrades’ poignant desire for home and comfort. Suffering wounds from a gasoline tanker explosion, he was awarded the Purple Heart. Tom greatly valued his service and was a proud veteran.

After the war, he had several successful business endeavors and traveled extensively throughout the world. He lived in Asia for a time, designing and installing complex corporate filing systems. During his time overseas, he developed a life-long love of antiques and collectibles. He also became a certified coin and stamp collector and learned the art of auctioneering valuable antiques. Tom faithfully served the Manhasset community through the local VFW Lodge, American Legion Post 304, the Old Goats Club, Feline Rescue, and the Masonic Lodge.

A dedicated member of his church, The Community Reformed Church at Manhasset, Tom served as an ordained deacon and held many positions on committees. He was previously married to Lucille until her death on October 9, 2009. He is survived by his wife Patricia, stepdaughter Kim, and stepson Michael. His loved ones will fondly remember his friendly smile, waggish manner, enormous charm, childlike sense of humor, and gleeful chortles.

He will also be remembered for his unwavering commitment to our country—a true hero who gave his life to something bigger than himself.

A wake was held for Tom in Naples, FL and another in Manhasset with a funeral service followed by a committal ceremony at Pine Lawn Cemetery in Farmingdale.

Donation’s in Tom’s Memory may be made to: The American Legion’s Operations Comfort Warriors Program which provides assistance and comfort to military personnel and veterans recovering from wounds and illnesses.

FULL RUN

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t worry about getting things right. If you just do fewer things wrong, you’ll progress nicely. The importance of self-awareness is emphasized. Extend generous support to yourself while assessing your mistakes. It’s a success shortcut! Making corrections is easier than building entirely new skills.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You think you can control the amount of effort you put into a thing, though even that can sometimes seem unlikely.

Interruptions and diversions can knock you off your game. Stay determined.

Pop back up and take charge. Sometimes the best call is to ignore the noise and plow right on through to the next scene.

Night at the opera Solution: 18 Letters

© 2021 Australian Word Games Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Plain and simple; there’s too much pressure.

Something has to give. Drop one of the rules, for instance, the one about the timeframe. Or what if you let go of the rule about whose responsibility it is?

Could you delegate? Wiggle room is not enough. Expand the margins until there’s room to actually dance.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). What you keep track of gains importance.

What you don’t measure may still have an impact, but no psychic weight leading up to the event. You don’t always get to decide what you’re aware of, though it helps to place yourself well. A simple success key: Get close to good influences. Flee bad ones.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll set a standard for yourself. It seems like this would make more work for you, but it actually makes less. Once you know what you have to do, when and where, there are no more decisions; all you have to do is show up and execute. Showing up isn’t hard for you and the execution gets easier with each repetition.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Stay responsive to social and power dynamics. Thinking about how you come across is part of this, though too much self-consciousness can interfere with your ease. If you don’t judge yourself harshly, you’ll be less worried about the judgment of others. Breathe in confidence. You’re doing better than you think.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You learned long ago that doing what’s good for you doesn’t often feel amazing in the moment. Awkwardness and pain are part of growth. When you push out of your comfort zone in one area, the experience builds you up, making you better in other areas, too. It’s how you’ll take a proud leap forward this week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a beautiful array of options.

Remember when you had none? Too many options cause decision paralysis, but you’ll get around that by paying attention to the three choices that fit a specific criterion. Also, if you are having trouble seeing your options, seek other perspectives -- especially from an Aquarius.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This week’s games happen in the social and professional sector. You won’t play until you’ve observed enough to understand the rules. The power player is the one controlling the options.

Many options are not presented. Your creativity will produce more still.

Observation, timing and guts will put you on top.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t expect yourself to know it all, to do it right or to feel like you have it together. More people are “faking it” than you think. Top performers are frequently feeling some degree of inadequacy or vulnerability because they are pushing themselves into new territory.

With persistence and time, you’ll gain the skill.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You’ve meandered before, so you know the preciousness of the solar return gift you receive from the cosmos: clarity of purpose. Vivid goals and bright connections drive you in the months to come. You’ll enact efficient renovations and put new programs into motion. Frugality in several areas allows you a long-awaited purchase. You’ll masterfully apply resources where they pay handsomely. You’re the strength of your group and will lead, teach and lift with your example.

ution: Getting some culture

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s better if you don’t answer every question asked of you. Society already extracts a certain amount of your individuality for the common good. You should not have to give up too much more for a fulfilling personal life. You deserve to feel free and powerful in relationships. Assert your independence and autonomy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You warn people in your own nice way: give them subtle signals, nonverbal clues and a free pass or two if necessary. Not everyone is in tune to social nuances though, and there will definitely be a learning curve to the interactions of the week. Patience and kindness are a start; boundaries and clarity go the distance.

Stephen Curry

(Playing career: 2009-present) “Steph is Steph. Aside from being the nicest guy in the world, he’s like Wilt Chamberlain. He’s completely changing the game and doing that thing like Wilt Chamberlain or Babe Ruth did, where the game was played one way and then it was played another way. The most home runs anyone had ever hit was 16

Jordan’s dad, so whenever I see Jordan, the fact that I know Jamaal Wilkes and he knows me—that’s the coolest thing ever. Plus he was in that great movie when I was a kid—Cornbread, Earl and Me. The little kid in the movie with him is actually Lawrence Fishburne at the age of 10.”

merging from the pandemic with the ambitious Butter Miracle: Suite One, Counting Crows and its earnest frontman Adam Duritz return with a glam-influenced EP that brings to mind early ‘70s Bowie, Mott the Hoople and Lou Reed more in spirit than sound.

Along with getting back to music full-time, sports fanatic Duritz is back to indulging his passion as this industry is also emerging from the ashes of COVID-19. Since moving to Oakland in 1974, Duritz has been a huge Bay Area sports fan, pulling for the Golden State Warriors and the A’s, inheriting his love of both teams from his Philly-born father, where he rooted for both franchises before they pulled up stakes for the West Coast. The following are Duritz’s favorite hardwood Warriors.
