Meeting Held For Proposed BW Zoning Code Changes BY CAROLINE RYAN

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

he Steering Committee, helmed by Town of North Hempstead councilwoman Mariann Dalimonte, held a virtual meeting on Sept. 22 to discuss amendments to the Waterfront Buisness (BW) district zoning code. The BW district building moratorium, which has been in affect since 2017, does not permit construction on commercial private properties extending from Sunset Park to Manhasset Bay Yacht Club and the area south of Town Dock. Dalimonte began the meeting by clarifying some misconceptions about the proposed code changes. “To be clear, the town is not looking to facilitate development, nor does it solicit development proposals,” Dalimonte said. “The town is obligated to consider development proposals, whether or not they are ultimately approved.” The moratorium has been in place for three years, and has been extended six times. Although the moratorium was initially supposed to end on Sept. 14, it was ultimately extended to allow for the town board to make more amendments to the existing code. Dalimonte also addressed the residents attending the meeting and assured them that the proposed code changes are being created with the residents best interest in mind. “Some of you attending the meeting tonight may be here because you are upset at all of the terrible things you’ve heard are being proposed on our waterfront,” Dalimonte said. “Unfortunately, there has been a lot of inaccurate, misleading and sensational information being spread throughout the community, in the form of posters, flyers and messages on social media. One recent example was a poster with a photo of what appeared to be a four-story building spanning the entire property from end-to-end. The proposed code has several protections against this sort of development.” Dalimonte pointed out that there have been 22 public meetings and that this was the 10th Steering Committee meeting regarding the proposed code changes.

The BW district building moratorium, does not permit construction on commercial private properties extending from Sunset Park to Manhasset Bay Yacht Club and the area south of Town Dock. (Contributed photo) “I have received a number of emails and phone calls demanding that the moratorium be extended yet again and that the discussion about the proposed code be started again from scratch,” Dalimonte said. “I hope that this list and these numbers make it clear that a lot of hard work has already gone into this and that the public has had ample opportunity to be heard.” According to the proposed BW Zoning Regulations, “the Waterfront Business district is established to promote, enhance and encourage water dependent uses, promote environmental sustainability, hazard mitigation and resiliency and increase opportunities for public access along the town’s commercial waterfront.” The proposed BW-zone code changes would permit any of the following businesses in the area, including gyms, health clubs, dance studios, a grocery store, retail food-use, a delicatessen or any similar business less than 2,000 square feet. Businesses without direct waterfront access would need to apply for a special uses permit. Restaurants, bars or lounges would not be permitted to have outdoor seating above the ground floor of any building. Also added to the proposed code for the approval of special uses include “whether the proposed design will be in harmony with the general architectural character of the surrounding neighborhood. Whether the proposed

design promotes sustainability through the use of elements such as permeable pavements, stormwater quality controls, photovoltaic cells and energy efficient lighting and building systems.” For residential apartment buildings, “at least 40 percent of the dwelling units in any building or site shall be designated senior citizen housing” and “no more than 20 percent of the total number of dwelling units in a building or site may consist of two or more bedrooms.” For a multiple-use building or development, “the maximum density for the residential portion shall be 15 dwelling units per acre. No building or structure shall be constructed on a lot containing less than 50 feet of frontage on a public street or thoroughfare. The maximum allowable density for hotel or boatel rooms shall be 30 rooms per-acre.” The proposed changes also include a reduction in height, “no building shall exceed two stories, with a maximum height of 30 feet,” although “minor structural and/or architectural elements may extend a maximum of ten feet above the allowable roof height, provided they comprise no more than 10 percent of the total roof area and be set back a minimum of ten feet from the front building wall and five feet from all other building walls.” Lot coverage would allow “buildings and structures to occupy 60 percent of the lot area. A front yard of at least

A map of the BW district.

10-feet is required for all buildings exceeding one story or 20 feet in height. Rear yard setbacks would need to be at least 25 feet where the rear yard of the lot abuts a waterway. Lots with rear yards abutting a land parcel shall have a minimum setback of 20 feet. Parking for all categories of residential buildings or for the residential portion of a multiple-use building shall be provided at the rate of at least two spaces per dwelling unit. Residents along with the Steering Committee members gave their feedback and concerns regarding the proposed code. Some residents stated that they were concerned about the access to the waterfront being diminished due to the code changes, other residents wondered how these proposed changes might affect economic viability. The Steering Committee is set to have their final public hearing regarding the proposed zoning code changes on Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m. via zoom. Residents will have the opportunity to ask questions of the board regarding the proposed code. To register for the meeting, visit www.us02web. zoom.us/webinar/register/ WN_cWqa50ISQJuQuQh2Gh_DxQ.

PYA Golf Outing To Take Place

n Monday, Oct. 12, the Port Washington Youth Activities (PYA) will hold its 23rd annual Marty Rybecky Memorial Golf Outing at the Village Club of Sands Point on Middle Neck Road in Port Washington. The village club is again enthusiastic about hosting PYA’s largest fundraiser of the fall, and all are ensured that in the COVID-19 era, proper precautions and social distancing will be paramount to a good time, and a good, fun round of golf. All additional golf outing festivities, specifically the post-outing dinner and awards, will be held at the Village Club. The PYA has made a concerted effort to keep this tradition alive during a time when sporting events and group fund-raisers are being postponed or even cancelled. This

is consistent with PYA keeping all if its outdoor youth sports programs up and running this fall as originally planned. Further information on the golf outing is available at Arena Sports Store at 52 Main St., or by calling the outing chairman Nick DeMeo at 516-944-6573, or PYA Executive Director Brandon Kurz at 516-944-PYA1 (7921) or visit www. pyasports.org/golfclassic where you can register your foursome and pay by credit card. Additional sponsorships and tee signs are still available, and those fees are noted on the link. The PYA is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the sportsmanship and character development in children through participation in its sports programs. —Submitted by the PYA

he death of George Floyd earlier this year caused protests, riots and looting in New York City, Chicago and other major cities across the country. Schreiber High School seniors, Aphrodite Dimopoulos and Ellen Efkarpidis, decided to make a difference in their own community. The two girls came up with the idea to create their own bracelets and donate the profits to causes which help to create change across the country. LERA bracelets, which stands for Learn, Educate, Respond and Act, were created in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. “The bracelets were invented to create unity within our community with hopes to unify the country, as we feel a partial split,” their mission states. One-hundred percent of the profits earned from the bracelets will be distributed between different nonprofit organizations. After researching more than 50 different organizations Dimopoulos and Efkarpidis narrowed their choices down to three. Ultimately they chose to split their profits between The Innocence Project, Campaign Zero and The National Police Accountability Project. “We wanted to make sure the

organizations we chose were credible, sensible and made a significant contribution to the movement,” Dimopoulos said. “We want to help Campaign Zero, The Innocence Project and the National Police Accountability Project achieve their goals in reforming the criminal justice system and police departments,” Efkarpidis said. “Second, we want the bracelets to encourage the wearers to confront their own internal biases and make steps towards becoming actively anti-racist. The combination of streamlining

donation money towards important organizations and using a physical object to serve a deeper meaning is something that we feel can be extremely beneficial.” . The girls hope that the bracelets will serve as a reminder to continue fighting for the Black Lives Matter movement. “For those wearing the bracelet it has become a subtle and constant reminder of empathy and compassion towards others, with luck that will continue to grow,” Efkarpidis said. “We also hope the bracelets sparks

productive and positive conversations about important issues of what it means to support one another.” These strong-minded individuals don’t plan to stop at just bracelets. They plan on using their platform to support other equally important organizations through the coming years. “We would like to be able to continue to raise money for organizations who are making a difference,” the girls stated. “In the future, we are considering donating to the Yemen or Lebanon relief foundations or LGBTQ+ organizations.” Aside from LERA bracelets, both girls are active participants in the Port Washington and Schreiber High School community. Efkarpidis is on the debate team and is an active member of the Future Business Leaders of America Club at Schreiber High School, she also is on the varsity volleyball team. Dimopoulos is the president of Schreiber High School’s Class Club, and is an active member of the student newspaper, The Schreiber Times and plays both varsity basketball and softball. LERA bracelets are sold for $7.50 each and are available for purchase at www.lerabracelets.com. More information about their history, foundation and mission can be found on their site.

Manorhaven Named A Tree City USA E arlier this year, the Arbor Day Foundation designated the Village of Manorhaven a Tree City USA. As lead members of the village’s Tree Committee, Deputy Mayor Priscilla von Roeschlaub and longtime Manorhaven resident and master gardener Patricia Valente led this effort. The Arbor Day Foundation recently sent a Tree City USA sign that will soon be posted near one of the entrances to the nature preserve. The village had planned to plant native trees in the preserve in the spring, but the project was postponed due to the COVID-19 quarantine. On Sept. 23, more than 30 trees were planted in the Preserve, including oaks, elms, hackberries, tulip, birch and sweetgum. While these larger trees are not suitable for the smaller lot sizes in the village, they are important to birds, pollinators and other beneficial insects. An educational sign will be installed in the coming weeks to educate visitors to the Preserve about the many ecological benefits of trees

from cleaner air and water to the well being of all who walk in green spaces. “The preserve is quickly becoming very full of plant life in so many different forms,” Manorhaven Mayor Jim Avena said. “It is beautiful in every season, but once these newly planted trees blossom in the spring, it will be truly remarkable. Our next phase for village trees starts this winter when we begin selecting species that thrive well in our local environment.” New tree plantings will initially focus on areas of the Village that suffered extensive tree loss during and following Superstorm Sandy and other storms that followed. Because the Arbor Day Foundation suggests ‘the right tree for the right place,’ the village’s Tree Committee is identifying the right trees for the local climate and those that do not grow rapidly or too tall or wide to avoid the from having to be severely trimmed back due to overhead wiring, pedestrians or roots that may buckle sidewalks, for example.

Local nonprofit organization Native Greenway continues to assist Avena and the village board in its efforts to beautify the village and support the local ecosystem through the introduction and

expansion of native plants and trees. The project began in 2018 through the Long Island Native Plant Garden in the Manorhaven Nature Preserve. This latest community-wide tree effort is an expansion of that effort that will continue to make Manorhaven even more beautiful. —Submitted by the Village of Manorhaven

Town Continues Remote Exercise Classes For Seniors

upervisor Judi Bosworth and the town board have announced that Project Independence (PI), the town’s agingin-place initiative, will continue to offer at-home exercise classes for seniors through the end of the year. In April, keeping with recommendations to stay at home whenever possible, the Town transitioned to hosting the free senior exercise classes remotely. “As the pandemic persists, we are proud to continue offering these remote exercise classes,” Bosworth said. “It is important to provide our seniors with an opportunity to stay fit and active at home. Technology has truly enabled us to remain connected in spite of the pandemic. After receiving so much positive feedback about our virtual programming, both online and on television, extending these services is a common-sense decision.” The PI exercise classes are broadcasted on the town’s public access television station, North Hempstead TV (NHTV). Residents will be able to watch the programs on channel 18 or 63 on Cablevision and channel 46 on Verizon FIOS. Episodes can also be accessed on demand on www.

An Election Like No Other

BY FRANK RIZZO

o one, it seems, can attract and repel so many voters as President Donald J. Trump. It is a truism of politics that presidential elections always increase the turnout at the polls. This has consequences for what are called down ballot races. Both Nassau County Democratic Committee Chairman Jay Jacobs and his GOP counterpart, Joseph Cairo, agree that Nov. 3, Election Day, will be one for the record books. “I think it’s going to be up,” Jacobs, who also is the state chair, said of turnout. “We had something like 7.7 Democrats gathered at the Crest Hollow in Woodbury to raise funds and million people vote last [presidential spirits two years ago. From the left, state senators Anna Kaplan, Jim election]. I’d be very surprised if we Gaughran, Todd Kaminsky, Monica Martinez, then Town of Hempstead were under 8 million this time.

Glen Cove IDA Approves Garvies Point’s Newest Application BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

he Glen Cove Industrial Development Agency (IDA) just held a virtual meeting to vote on updated plans for the development of Garvies Point. The board approved the newest application, with a unanimous vote, which is being overseen by developer RXR. The updated application will have more waterfront views for Garvies Point condo units, including a total of 346 condos, an increase from the original 2016 proposal of 172 units in blocks E and F and 56 workforce condos in Block F. The original proposal also had a market-range rental building in Block E that would have 101 units. Block D originally would have a 50,000-square-foot office building with parking. Resolution 4A for a sales tax extention was approved with all board members voting in favor. Glen Cove Mayor and IDA Chairman Tim Tenke said he appreciated the community’s ongoing input in the development project. The updated proposal will have a part of the open space relocated to take advantage of the waterfront view. There will be a restaurant at the ground level, outdoor seating and a wellness center with a spa, open to the public. As previously reported, the construction will be split into three phases, A1: 136 units/10 stories; A2: 75 units/eight stories; and A3: 135 units/nine stories. RXR’s Joseph Graziose, who is the executive vice president of residential development, addressed the project’s success. “We have completed the entire roadway in connection with the city,” he said before detailing the aforementioned construction that’s been completed. “RXR remains committed in completing its vision of the Garvies Point project. We’ve been successful in bringing new people to Glen Cove.” As of now, Harbor Landing North boasts 177 units with construction completed. Harbor Landing South will have people moving in this month within the 208-unit building. The Beacon has sold about 45 percent of 167 condo units. Questions were raised during the IDA meeting about the upcoming

construction schedule, as well as affordable housing within the buildings. There will be 71 affordable housing units available and seven or eight extra ones for the workforce units. Due to COVID-19, 108 days of construction were lost. But the full schedule will be available soon, RXR explained. Another question about the restaurant being built came up, requesting information about its location near the water. Graziose explained it’s the

perfect place given the waterfront property, as well as the capability to have outdoor dining. “The other thing this gives you by bringing the operation of the restaurant into the actual building is, when the building A’s all three phases is done, that restaurant will be an operation for the building of 346 units,” Graziose said. “Residents, in my experience, where you have the walkability inside their own building

to go to a breakfast and lunch type venue, offers a restaurant operator a much better revenue.” Additionally, there will be free parking on the property, but discussions will be ongoing about overnight parking. More than 160 spaces will be added to lots D and E near the ferry. Do you have a story you want to tell? Share it with me at jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

Jim Gaughran Secures Two Major Grants

For Sea Cliff Village Library and Glen Cove BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

New York State Senator Jim Gaughran just secured a pair of grants that will support two key areas in the Town of Oyster Bay. The senator, who is in his second year in office, secured a $250,000 grant for the City of Glen Cove, as well as $50,000 for the Sea Cliff Village Library. “We send so much money as taxpayers to Albany in income tax and sales tax, and it’s my job to get that money back to get our fair share,” Gaughran said in an interview with Anton Media Group. “They need to go to projects that local governments have for their citizens.” The grant designated for the City of Glen Cove will assist in the repair of the Morgan Memorial Park Seawall, which is the last line of defense to protect the city from coastal erosion and storm flooding. Ever since Superstorm Sandy, the seawall has been deteriorating. “I went out with Mayor [Tim] Tenke, Legislator [Delia] DeRiggiWhitton and other officials to this historical seawall that, if it’s not repaired quickly, could be lost forever,” Gaughran said. “That’s vitally important to the beautiful wall at a beautiful park. If the wall continues to deteriorate or come down, you’re going to lose a lot of

beachfront and the wall is there to hold up a hill with trees and vegetation behind it.” Tenke, who is the mayor of the City of Glen Cove, in a statement to Anton Media Group, explained that he is grateful for the $50,000 grant. “Morgan Park is a treasure here in Glen Cove,” Tenke said. “Being that part of the park is along the waterfront, it does incur damage from heavy storms. We are grateful to Senator Jim Gaughran for securing us a grant, which will be used to repair the Morgan Park Seawall. Senator Gaughran has proven to be a true supporter of the residents of Glen Cove, not just through his words, but his actions. This park is utilized by many people, and being

able to restore the Seawall will ensure many more years of enjoyment by the public.” Residents from Glen Cove and Locust Valley often utilize Morgan Memorial Park for different activities, and the wall is meant to prevent flooding during hurricanes. Prior to the pandemic, libraries across the island were struggling with funding. The $50,000 grant for the Sea Cliff Village Library will go to installing and furnishing a space specifically meant for teenagers. The space will be considered a safe haven for students who are stuck at home as part of remote learning initiatives. “Libraries have transformed to be community centers,” Gaughran said.

JERICHO

Development Of Jericho Shelter Halted BY CODY SULLIVAN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Nassau County judge has temporarily halted plans for a homeless shelter at the former site of the Hampton Inn on Jericho Turnpike in Jericho that drew protests from local residents. The Sept. 22 preliminary injunction, granted by Nassau County Supreme Court Justice Arthur Diamond, cited the developer’s failure to obtain permits and violations of zoning laws. The plan was to house around 80 homeless families in the former hotel until more permanent housing arrangements could be made. Current town zoning restrictions allow temporary stays of just 30 days, and critics say it could potentially house the families for months. The Town of Oyster Bay issued a stop-work order against the contractor in August, and later filed a temporary restraining order, which Justice Diamond issued. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino said the town “will continue to enforce our zoning laws to protect our suburban quality of life. In doing so, we are representing and protecting our residents and neighborhoods.” The injunction follows a series of protests against the project organized by the group Concerned Jericho Parents. Protesters said the money for the

The protesters gathered outside of the Theodore Roosevelt Legislative Building in Mineola on Monday, Sept. 21. (Photo by Cody Sullivan) project should instead be used to find a more permanent solution for the homeless families and claim the project went ahead without public notice. Event organizer Jennifer Vartanov said her group wants to ask Nassau County Executive Laura Curran “to come forward and answer the many questions we have regarding the installation of the first mega-shelter in Nassau County.” Community Housing Innovation (CHI), the nonprofit that would be managing the proposed center, operates 30 similar facilities across Long Island. The

executive director of CHI, Alexander H. Roberts, said in a statement, “Because most of our residents are children, we place a high value on safety and security. The [center] will have 24/7 security with 100 cameras connected to DVRs. Our resident support specialists will [ensure] that no drugs or other contraband pose a threat. The measures we take are welcomed by the overwhelming majority of families, who want a safe, nurturing environment to focus on getting back on their feet and into permanent housing.” Speakers at the protest raised questions about the risk of COVID-19 transmission in the facility. “Eighty-plus families living in close quarters in a hotel, and then having those children coming from the hotel to our schools is certainly a concern,” said event organizer Marc Albert. They also raised concerns about the proposed shelter’s proximity to a local elementary school and busy intersection, and the burden that more children might place on their school district. The nonprofit says the shelter in Jericho would only house families with children and the majority of those children wish to stay in their current school district. It would provide families with three meals a day as well as transportation to jobs and appointments, according to the organization. —Cody Sullivan is a contributing writer

Saltzman East Memorial Third Graders Receive Recess Backpacks

FARMINGDALE

BY MARIA ORTOLANI

farmingdale@antonmediagroup.com

ith schools opening once again with many new procedures, Our Lady of Mercy High School student Madeline Gross, who is also the daughter of a Farmingdale School District third-grade teacher, initiated a community-minded project to help her mother’s class at Saltzman East Memorial enjoy their recess time while keeping socially distant and safe. Gross brought her idea to her grandmother, Ann Lomonte, a member of the Women’s Club of Farmingdale (WCF). In no time at all, club members filled mesh backpacks with chalk, yo-yos, bubbles and single-use jump ropes that can be used individually by the students. In all, 82 backpacks were donated, enough for each third-grade student. Hats off to “Maddie” for seeing a community need and finding a way to make it happen. It’s obviously a family trait as Gross’ grandmother, Ann Lomonte, volunteered to help WCF President Tina Diamond participate in a GFWC (General Federation of Women’s Clubs) International Project—collecting empty pill bottles, with labels removed, to donate to medical facilities in disadvantaged areas world-wide. So far, more than 270 pill bottles have been collected.

Just before the start of school, the WCF Welfare Committee, chaired by Rosemary Emigholz, usually collects member-donated backpacks filled with school supplies to be provided to St. Kilian’s Outreach. For COVID-19 reasons, this year’s

Outreach asked for gift cards to Target and Walmart. More than $500 in gift cards was donated and will be used by Farmingdale High School qualifying students for their school supply needs. And in July, club members donated 50 bags of nonperishable food items to supplement Outreach’s dwindling summer reserves. In March, in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, club members donated 37 Dr. Seuss books for pre-school children in need. Then WCF co-presidents Cheryl Parisi and Lorraine Stanton were finally able to deliver the books to the Eastern Nassau Head Start Program (operated by the Economic Opportunity Commission of Nassau County, Inc.) located at St. Francis de Chantal in Wantagh. This is one of eight locations on Long Island. The Head Start Early Childhood Development Program offers a variety of services to preschoolers three to five years old and their families. They provide children with a place to learn through play. Trained personnel supervise the classes of 16 to 17 children. The program consists of activities in art, language, math and science in a friendly, warm atmosphere. Nutrition, health, social services and psychological/speech therapy services are provided.

While the institution’s namesake passed away in 2005, it has continued serving the community as an earth science center. With Governor Andrew Cuomo’s New York State on PAUSE order in effect, nonessential businesses like museums were required to remain closed up until the end of August. The Gregory Museum postponed all tours and activities as a means of complying with the order as a means of helping the community help decrease the spread of the virus. With COVID-19 being an airborne virus, upgrading the building’s ventilation became a major priority.

HVAC system at the museum. CRP funding is used to benefit local municipalities, fire departments, museums and schools. Walker was unequivocal in stating the importance of this upgrade for both public safety and historical preservation purposes. Walker said. “This new heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system will allow for more than just public use of the museum, but also will help in preserving the one-of-a-kind history the Gregory museum contains. Historic artifacts and documents

need a climate-controlled environment to maintain integrity and this CRP funding provides that.” Schaefer’s efforts helped fund two other projects besides the Gregory Museum HVAC upgrade. The Westbury Fire District will be receiving portable data terminals through a CRP grant. These terminals will be installed in each response vehicle in the care of the fire department. They will allow for full computer-aided dispatch information while responding to alarms. This advancement in technology will be of great benefit to coordination and response time for emergencies. The final project allows the Garden City Fire Department to purchase portable radios for use during their emergency calls. These radios, replacing out-of-date equipment, will allow the department to coordinate and respond to fire and emergency calls and provide the best service. “The residents in the 14th Legislative District are benefiting from these CRP funds, as their fire departments and museums will be updated and quality of life will be maintained,” Schaefer said. “I am happy to provide the means possible for these services, and look forward to seeing the funding go to good use.” Visit www.gregorymuseum.org to find out more about the Gregory Museum.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

RUTH BADER GINSBURG: A ‘SUPREME’ JUDICIAL GIANT As I was celebrating Rosh Hashanah with my family last Friday evening, I learned of the tragic passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Her death hit me like a punch in the stomach, leaving me breathless and scared because the true impact of her death may not be truly felt or appreciated for years to come. An American trailblazer and icon like Justice Ginsburg comes along very rarely in

our history and her legacy in championing equality and civil liberties for all Americans is carved into American jurisprudence for generations to come. However, with a president who has no regard or appreciation for our democracy and its pillars that keep its foundation strong and what I had believed to be indestructible, I am fearful that her legacy could very well be weakened, rendered de minimis or even erased. By

adding another narrow-minded and biased judge to the court, he could thereby facilitate the reversal and nullification of the progress this country has seen over the past 50 years in civil rights, women’s rights, LGBT rights and marriage equality, privacy rights and abortion rights. Justice Ginsburg’s death has brought our country to a tipping point. We must fight to preserve and protect the

fundamental rights bestowed on us all as a result of her life’s contributions as a selfless, dedicated, relentless trailblazer. I firmly believe she would be disappointed in all of us if we didn’t seize this opportunity to carry the torch that she lit and carried for 87 years. May she rest in peace and may her memory be a blessing for each and every one of us. —Legislator Arnold Drucker

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

“Ruth Bader Ginsburg leaves behind an unmatched legacy as one of the most important forces for women’s rights in modern day history. She paved the way for women everywhere and she continued fighting, even until her last day. Justice Ginsburg had an unwavering faith in the goodness of humanity, and she believed these trying times were only an anomaly. It is now up to us to prove her right.” —Representative Kathleen Rice “Tonight the United States mourns the loss of a legal giant. For a portion of 2007, I had the privilege of having Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg as a professor as part of a Hofstra University Summer law program. She was down to earth, and made sure she spoke to everyone who participated about their background and what their goals were for the future. Whether or not you agree with her legal opinions, there is no denying the huge

communities in our society. As we continue to celebrate her remarkable life and accomplishments and take steps to honor the legacy of a remarkable native New Yorker, let us redouble our commitment to ensuring the people’s voices are always heard and respected at every level of government - starting right here in Nassau County.” —Legislator Kevan Abrahams Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Real Solutions To The MTA Five-Alarm Fire & 12 Billion Shortfall MTA Chairman Pat Foye claims he is facing a “five alarm fire.” The solution requires fare box revenue, City Hall, Albany and Washington to all pitch in to put out the fire. Earlier in the year, the MTA requested $3.9 billion in additional funding. After receipt of $3.9 billion in CARE COVID19 funding, the MTA announced they needed another $3.9 billion. Today, it is $12 billion. What will it be tomorrow? Several weeks ago, it was a four-alarm fire. Now it is a five-alarm fire. What will it be tomorrow? MTA Chairman Patrick J. Foye reminds of Pinocchio. As I previously noted, there is still $12 billion or more worth of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding projects in active open grants. Why has the MTA refused to conduct a forensic audit to determine unspent available balances? The FTA issued guidance on March 13 that gave all transit agencies permission for reallocation of funding from capital projects in existing grants to use toward COVID-19 expenses. The same applies to 2020 and future 2021 formula funding under various FTA grant programs. The FTA made available $1.4 billion worth of annual formula funding

as part of many capital projects and consultant contracts (how much of this work could be performed by in-house forces) should be reallocated toward paying for COVID-19 expenses.

Details of who will pay what can never be resolved and made public until this board is established, proceeds and completes its assigned mandated tasks. This process is very politically sensitive.

I will not hold my breath waiting for MTA Chairman Foye’s future New York Times Guest OpEd holding de Blasio and Cuomo accountable for their respective contributions in delaying implementation of congestion tolling.

Creating College Friendships In The Time Of COVID-19 As many colleges reverse course merely days before they were set to begin in-person instruction, and as some abandon their plans after already having opened, many students are left scrambling and making last-minute arrangements during the pandemic. While each class of students faces its own unique circumstances as plans to gather in groups, study synchronously, put on productions, and travel abroad are upended, there is one particular cohort that is uniquely affected: the incoming freshmen/transfer students. New students during a typical year face the challenge of learning how to navigate the environment, prepare for the rigor of college-level work, as well as create networks of colleagues and friends. In a time when many of our students will be learning through a hybrid or fully virtual model, how can our incoming college students form connections? Before getting into creating connections, it is important to discuss why friendships are so important. During the developmental transition associated with college-aged students, many either begin or continue to develop their identities. These emerging adults also become more autonomous

You will also have the opportunity to learn more about the college, campus and surrounding community. No matter which way you choose to connect with others, remember that everyone in your freshman class is experiencing the trials and tribulations of entering college in a time of constant change. Find those you can both lean on and bond with to make this transition as smooth and as positive as possible. Good luck.

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for all the tireless work from our sponsor Sally Studio Art Center. It’s truly been a pleasure.” Since the pandemic, the soup kitchen needs help more than ever as unemployment and the number of people needing food assistance spike. The art studio and their students had originally planned for another fund raising art exhibition in June 2020, which had to be canceled due to the pandemic. Despite challenge of lacking traditional fund raising channels, the young artists found an alternative and creative mean to support Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen and those it serves. In August, nine of Sally Studio’s art students teamed up to design high quality, printed tote bags using their original artworks. The students sold the bags for $15 each, with 100 percent of the proceeds being donated to the soup kitchen. “The pandemic has severely limited the fund raising capabilities of the Soup Kitchen,” art teacher Sally Feng said. “We at Sally Studio Art center are really proud to be part of this.”

Supervisor Joseph Saladino presents an award to Juliana Terain at a special ceremony, along with, from left, councilmembers Thomas Hand and Michele Johnson, Town Clerk Richard LaMarca, Councilwoman Laura Maier, Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato and Councilman Steve Labriola. (Town of Oyster Bay photo) Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board recently recognized Juliana Terian with the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Leadership Award in recognition of her influential achievements that have inspired countless women. The award was presented on the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, as the town commended the centennial of the fight for women’s rights being heard and ratified by our 19th Amendment. Terian took the reins as president and CEO in 2002 and built on the legacy of her late husband. An architect by training, she has put her background to good use when it comes to designing new facilities, including one dealership that was made completely environmentally friendly. She has supported her employees by introducing new training programs and strengthened opportunities for women. Fifth grade students from Lee Road Elementary School in the Levittown Public Schools observed International Dot Day on Sept. 15. The special day was created based on the Peter H. Reynolds book The Dot. The story encourages students to “make their mark” in the world and has inspired students

across the globe to create, have courage and collaborate. At Lee Road Elementary School, fifth graders in Eileen Vogel and Valerie Dillon’s classes read The Dot and discussed the theme of perseverance. The students then participated in a connect the dots activity with pictures containing up to 600 dots.

Introducing Your Pet To Your New Bundle Of Joy

Certified dog trainer Michelle LaMarca Knapp shares her insight on best methods BY EMILY SAUCHELLI

ntroducing your pet to a new family member is a task that can be done effectively, when given the proper strategies and guidance. Certified professional dog trainer Michelle LaMarca Knapp said pet owners need to create a new routine in order for the dog to adjust to the new baby that’s coming. “If you feed your dog twice a day at 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. in the evening, you’ve got to start to vary that a little bit,” LaMarca Knapp said. “They may eat a little earlier one day and a little later for dinner. You need to work up to that so the dog stops anticipating its food at a different time. Same thing with walks. They have a regular bathroom routine. If you have to walk the dog, you’re going to have to switch it up or probably think about bringing in a dog walker. Especially in the first few months with a newborn, when life is so unpredictable.” She suggests getting a dog walker a few months before the baby is due, so that the dog can have time to build up a relationship with the person. If your pet enjoys spending time with other dogs, LaMarca Knapp said dog day care centers are another option to keep pets socialized. She said there is an important adjustment that has to be made between the parents and the dog. “Once the baby comes, you’re not going to have the time or the inclination to spend as much time with your

dog as your dog is used to,” LaMarca is to get the dog to ignore it.” Knapp said. “You don’t want the dog to Once the mother gives birth, she said associate the baby with lack of attenit’s important to bring the baby’s scent tion.

The dog has got to be conditioned beforehand and know that it’s not going to get the attention that it got beforehand.” LaMarca Knapp said it’s important that parents introduce baby items to the dog. She encourages it as this helps the dog be more understanding and aware that someone new is coming. I’d have the dog there when packages arrive,” she said. “I’d have the dog there when there’s any equipment you’re setting up. If you have a stroller before the baby is born, I’d practice on walks. I’d practice having the dog learn to walk at your side with the stroller. You can start that by taking the dog into Petco or PetSmart, and substitute a shopping cart for the stroller. Teach the dog to walk quietly, and when you stop, the dog sits.” She said changing routines and schedules can be done a couple of months before the baby’s due. As for behavior such as jumping, she suggests that once a woman finds out she’s pregnant, the training should take course. “The sooner the better,” LaMarca Knapp said. “The more they practice, the better they get it.” Michelle LaMarca Knapp owns and operates her own dog training business called Ain’t Misbehavin’ Canine Academy. She serves the areas of Northeast Queens, Nassau County and western Suffolk County.

ANSWERING THE CALL Actor Luke Wilson hosts ABC’s new show Emergency Call BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

wo hundred and forty million. That’s the number of calls Americans make every year to 911. And if you ever wondered what happened inside those call centers, wonder no more. ABC’s brand new show Emergency Call, which is hosted by actor Luke Wilson, will give viewers a first-hand look at the dramatic moments that lead up to the arrival of help rather than the events of what happens after firefighters, police or emergency medical services teams arrive. The hour-long episodes will focus on the extreme, suspenseful and sometimes humorous stories that flood 911 call centers. “Earlier this year, the producers got in touch with me and just wanted to see if I was interested in it,” Wilson said about how he became involved with the show. “For me growing up, my favorite section of The Dallas Morning News was always the metro section, which is part of the paper that dealt with not just crime, but car crashes and different things like that. I was always interested in where something happened, what time something happened, their name and their age—all that kind of stuff. It was always a short paragraph or just four sentences and I would always wonder what the rest of the story was. I was always into that and was just more focused on the police. You see shows about the police and firemen growing up, but you never thought about the call takers.

EMERGENCY CALL continued When I started talking to the producers of the show, I thought, ‘Wow. This really ties back into that’ and it was just something I never really thought about. You never really see the people who are the first link in the chain of first responders.” In the first episode, the show chronicles heart-pounding stories about rising flood waters in New Orleans that suddenly have people stranded on a highway inside their cars, a teenager’s scary encounter with a bear who is stalking her through the Alaskan wilderness, a granddaughter being coached through the phone on how to perform CPR on her unconscious grandfather, and more. “Viewers will get a really good glimpse of what the people are like who take these calls,” Wilson said. “What struck me the most was how sharp these people are in terms of multi-tasking. They’re not just getting your address and what happened. A lot of times they’re having to calm you down and it’s difficult to just get the address. One of the funny things these call takers said is that people would be surprised when you ask someone where they live and they say, ‘It’s the blue house on Wall Street’ and then they hang up. And I saw that happen multiple times where it’s a domestic disturbance and someone would say the street they live on and hang up. This one call taker had a funny thing where she said if someone is over 40 and she’s having trouble getting their address, she’ll tell the caller if she was going to send a letter to the caller, where would she send it and then the caller gives her the [actual] address. So they figured out these shortcuts to get the facts of exactly where someone lives.” So why is a show such as Emergency Call

important to have on television? “When I would visit these call centers, there would be these little lulls and I’d get the chance to have these good talks with people where they’d say that people just don’t call 911 because they’re having a good day. I hope people will get a sense of how great and sharp these people are, and also how empathetic they are. I’ve heard these crazy action packed calls and then I heard a heartbreaking call where a couple of weeks ago I was down south of LA in a call center and a woman called with Alzheimer’s and this incredibly kind call taker talked to this woman, who didn’t know what year it was or where she lived. My heart kept breaking and this call taker kept talking to this woman who would get suspicious and would ask, ‘Why are you asking me all these questions?’ Having people with this disease, I knew exactly what the call taker was dealing with and how daunting a task it is. There’s these action packed calls that we have on the show, but there’s also these touching calls where you realize they [call takers] really are a part of the community.” Besides being host of Emergency Call, Wilson has established himself as of one of the most versatile actors of his generation with his indelible performances in broad comedies, thoughtful dramas and provocative independent features. Some of his credits include Wes Anderson’s Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and The Royal Tenenbaums; The Skeleton Twins opposite Bill Hader and Kristin Wiig; Old School with Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn; the Legally Blonde franchise with Reese Witherspoon and more. In 2005, Wilson wrote, starred in, and co-directed with his brother Andrew Wilson, The Wendell

WORD FIND

44 SEPTEMBER 30 - OCTOBER 6, 2020 • ANTON MEDIA GROUP

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re like a fully loaded navigation system. All the maps you need to get through life are already inside you, so don’t be too afraid to stray from the path. You’ll experience interesting, noteworthy, exciting moments and you won’t get lost either because something will always be pulling you back. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes, it so happens, you give yourself a directive and then do the opposite. How curious! Fear is the culprit here, and avoidance is a natural response. Just remember that the things we avoid are usually our best chance at getting stronger and better. Thank your fear, and then proceed anyway.

WORD FIND

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

Garage sale Solution: 18 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You run in a talented group, and it’s very normal for each to try and outdo the other. The friendly competition is part of what keeps everyone sharp and on their game. On the other hand, it’s liberating to get to a point in which you realize there is no one to impress, only the thrill of pumping your wings to soar higher. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll find yourself in an intense situation this week, but you can make it less so by turning down the heat in your own head. Can you play it a different way to get a different response? Of course. Since that’s always an option, there is no benefit to forcing your first or even your 21st attempt. Take a breath, and then try again.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Whatever the issue, it can be handled with positive you-to-you communication. If you take it to the crowd, then you’ll have support and ideas. However, ultimately, you already know what you’re going to do; you’re just not entirely sure you trust yourself. Let go of doubt. You’re the absolute right person to lead you in this. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Many decisions don’t feel like decisions because they come so automatically to you, and yet there really is a moment of choice. It will bring good luck to make a pro-and-con list for some of these choices, because it reinforces your values and bears some self-appreciation, which will raise your confidence. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your idea of what constitutes indulgence is different from that of those around you. You will witness many levels and kinds of relaxation and be interested in what people allow and deny themselves. You’ll wonder if you’re going too hard or easy on yourself. Much depends on what result you are trying to achieve. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If there’s one thing that opens the world wide to you, it’s good listening skills. Listening facilitates learning, makes relationships thrive and allows for the best decision-making. Excellent listening engages all senses, including, and very importantly, the emotional and spiritual senses accessed with an open heart. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you don’t get what you want from a person, it was just the wrong person. You can find it somewhere else once you move on. If you don’t move on, then you’ll have a problem. Graceful living has a lot to do with finding and recognizing a good match instead of trying to make a bad one work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). They may think of you as a rock of emotional stability, but you’re not stoic. You have plenty of passion for what matters to you and lots of whimsy and playfulness for situations that don’t. Your ability to read the room and act appropriately allows you to fit into a wide range of situations. The world is your oyster. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s not always the case, but this week what is personally relevant to you will also ring true with the general public. If you broadcast a bit of it on social media, you’ll be met with interest and support. This weekend will bring an easy, comfortable connection. Relax and enjoy yourself and the others will do the same.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Though you sometimes prefer a solo journey, it’s not that kind of year. Over the next 12 months, you will often be challenged and enriched by companionship on a mutual path. The support makes for lighter work and moving quickly toward goals. January brings a breakthrough and money follows shortly. There’s room in an elite program or relationship and the position is yours for the taking, should you decide you want it. Improvements in self-care mean your physical strength increases.

Solution: Looking for a bargain

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It is your instinct to share, regardless of how much you have. There are certain people you’d do absolutely anything for, and then there are generosities you would give to pretty much anyone because, in your book, it’s just part of being a decent human. This is why the bighearted spirits are attracted to you, a kindred spirit.

Ticket Demand Booming For Islanders At UBS Arena At Belmont Park Islanders fans received “I Love NY” Islanders t-shirts last weekend as the team played in the Eastern Conference Finals. Photo courtesy of the New York Islanders)

Islanders Give Back With I Love NY T-Shirts

he New York Islanders surged in the NHL Playoffs, reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, and on the heels of a big win before they were eliminated, the team gave back to the fans with an exclusive “I Love NY” Islanders t-shirt across the tri-state area. The team partnered with a number of bars and restaurants to serve as

pick-up locations while brand ambassadors visited select neighborhoods to spread the playoff hype for the Blue and Orange. The energy of the fans during the playoffs was tremendous, with even the players from other teams in the NHL bubble noticing all of the messages of support, thanks to the power of social media. —Submitted by the New York Islanders

The New York Islanders Hockey Club has seen ticket demand skyrocket over the last month. Recently, the Islanders set an all-time record for season ticket sales, driven by the team’s playoff success and by the recent launch of UBS Arena at Belmont Park. Only 20 percent of season tickets remain available for the inaugural 2021-22 NHL season. “As the team heads into the second round of the playoffs, the unprecedented demand for season tickets adds a new level of excitement about the team,” Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky said. “The support from our loyal Islanders fans across the metro New York region has been tremendous.” The Islanders also expect to be sold out of premium inventory by early next year. UBS Arena at Belmont Park has sold more than one-third of its suite inventory in the last two weeks. “We are thrilled to see this strong response to UBS Arena at Belmont Park, which will be the state of the art sports and music venue in the market,” Tim Leiweke, CEO of Oak View Group, a partner in UBS Arena at Belmont Park, said. Additional information on season ticket memberships and UBS Arena can be found at www.newyorkislanders.com/ubsarena. —Submitted by the New York Islanders
